A. Causality came into existence with the beginning of the universe and so was never violated.

B. An eternal God exists separate from the universe he created

I think the issue that most skeptics have with "B", is not that it is being presented as a possible explanation to the existence of the universe as you have written here, but that there are folks that say they know and talk to this dude, and he tells them we need to pay their organization money (or fill in whatever other ridiculous religious dogma you want here).

> A developer is a writer; one writes English and the other writes code, but they both write to a human audience (the only "code" a machine needs to see is 0s and 1s; programming languages are for humans).

I definitely agree with this! That's what I had been thinking the whole time while reading the articles and the comment threads. This is also my motto, here in the office.

It's too simple to say that there are differences between writers and programmers. I think "writer" should be treated as an umbrella term that encompasses braod ranges of skills. After all, a journalist, a poet, a technical writer and a translator aren't really doing the same thing, are they? I like to believe that the core subset of skills needed to be one of these is also needed (or at least highly valued) to be a good programmer.

Programming is writing. Absolutely.
No, I mean confederation.

Switzerland is a confederation in name and by tradition only, but has had all the features of a federation since 1848.

After civil war in 1847, the new constitution was drawn up expressly to create a federal central government to replace the weak old con-federate governments, and to have the cantons cede some of their sovereignty to it, in the same was the US Constitution had the states cede sovereignty in certain areas - the Swiss constitution of 1848 was to a large extent influenced by the US Constitution.

The current constitutions official name even translates to the Federal Constitution of the Swiss Confederation.

No difference. CEO is when the founder likes to call himself that! Think about it - CHIEF EXECUTIVE Officer. Required only when you have many executive officers and you need a chief for them.

Funnily, here in Bangalore, there are so many startups with only CxOs working for the company/firm. So I guess they'er quite literally all Chiefs and no Indians then! :-)
To be honest i do run phpMyAdmin, but I run it on a subdomain that has HTTP auth over SSL and the log files are included by fail2ban scans (thus anyone that fails to HTTP auth correctly 3 times gets auto-banned in iptables).

So while I do agree with your points regarding phpMyAdmin, you can have the convenience of running it (and securely) if you really wanted to.

I work in a small start up where I am one of 3 owners. I have a CEO(I am a CTO) and my CEOs role is pretty much as follows. CEO spends the day pumping contacts from previous business relationships to setup new deals for the company. Afternoon he spends an hour with me the CTO to plan technical strategy before settling down and doing his daily work as a team member.

My CEO is a manager who is able to mentor me(a tech guy) in management and leadership skills while still managing to keep up connections with third parties and perform a number of technical/business functions we reserve for his role.

If only it were that easy. Programming trends change drastically. What is fashion today, isn't tomorrow. You need tools that survive this for years(In case of vim and Emacs its decades).

I am all ears to hear about the 'tools' that you talk about.

Not exactly. In a black box, there will be less orders because market participants are discouraged to be market makers, because the point their orders have been triggered is also likely the point the market deviates significantly and they have no chance to cancel or stop loss immediately in a non-continuous market. Market makers are resistance of such manipulation. And most market makers place orders to fill the "gaps" in the order book. Without a visible order book, it's much more risky to provide liquidity without any actual demand or supply for the shares. I think it's okay to assume that less than 1% of traders place orders based on real supply and demand. You know you would sell AAPL if it spikes to $700 today, but you won't place an order until that happens. (The financial market is an incomplete coverage of demand and supply anyway, so the more liquidity, the better.)
UDP fills the same (overlarge) buffers before it can be sent over a link; it can be stalled by misbehaving TCP. Since TCP still dominates bandwidth usage, TCP bufferbloat needs to be fixed for UDP to have a chance at low latency.

Also, if a UDP application can possibly use a significant share of the bottleneck bandwidth, it will need its own latency feedback to avoid being another cause of bufferbloat. Whatever fills the buffer has no bearing on the outcome in most cases (most buffers are just for ethernet retransmission and routers don't manage them; the exceptions I know are with AQM and QoS).
Sounds like some that could be submitted to a hypothetical /r/hncirclejerk. Bravo.

MC is confused.

High frequency trading covers a broad range of trading strategies, some of which are beneficial to market participants.

In particular, were all automated market making to be banned, we would see a huge jump in the cost of trading.

The fuss about HFT is distracting people from the much more serious problem of good old-fashioned insider trading, which remains rampant.
I've always found the CEO title somewhat ostentatious in a company with less than 10-20 people. President is even worse.

I prefer to term Founder or Director.

That said, I'm from New Zealand where the standard term for the head of a company is Managing Director, so anyone calling themselves a CEO here is probably just wanting to sound important.
it seems to me that the exchange adding a small random delay (say 1ms) on message reception would dampen the benefits of speed and then there would be less work invested in saving a few microseconds here and there. you still have program trading but a little bit of silly dynamics is dampened.
Double Stealth, love it.
A service company doesn't have a big impact? That's relative I guess. The companies i'm talking about have a bigger impact than 99.99% of SV startups, simply because all of those won't survive and won't be employing many people and supporting many families. My previous services company (in which I still have stock and which exists now for about 20 years) has 400 employees, most with families, so that's supporting roughly 1600 people. That's more than your non services startup will ever do in general. It was also profitable from the start. As is my new one; we have been paying full management fees + salaries since day 1. And mostly anyone can copy it and there still won't be enough of them in the world.

I understand product companies and such are more interesting and scalable (I find that too) to investors and to get filthy rich, but they almost never succeed. You are not going to be the next Facebook or Google or probably even Yammer. If you do, kudos to you; however, like Facebook & Google you would not actually sell your company, so not relevant for this discussion. In the case of Yammer it is; it sucks ; your lining your own pockets and the world doesn't really improve long term probably (a lot of takeovers don't end very well for the original product/people anyway).

And that brings me to your last question; there is everything wrong with your goal of 'getting rich' if that's truly your goal. That's not a very popular opinion here and apparently misunderstood; I am rich (self made) and I want to get richer (because you cannot really run a company otherwise), but it's not near my life's goals and never was and never will be. I like what I do and always did, I have a great family, we all work in the businesses we run. We take time off, we enjoy ourselves, but we like working with our colleagues on great things. The buzz of opening a new office this week is enough for me to jump out of bed every morning. I don't see how more money can change that; I could've stopped working many years ago and I don't have to worry for the rest of my life anyway. How is that interesting though? I will never stop working anyway, because I like it. And I like starting up organically more than running the company, so how is a lot of money going to change that 'hobby'?

I believe that you have a different main goal in life as well, otherwise you probably wouldn't be successful, money as 'goal' doesn't usually seem to work. I probably also assume wrong that you would retire when you make that $100 million in your account (ie I don't understand the obsession with getting rich other then comfort & ease to do what you like, but you don't need that much more for that). We probably think the same more or less anyway seeing your profile on LinkedIn.

Ask HN: Sending large files over HTTP
I was wondering how sites like http://wetransfer.com and http://yousendit.com makes it possible to send huge files over http? I was always told that sending more than a few 100 mb over http was a bad idea but there seems to be a lot of sites that do exactly that. So, do they chop up the file in smaller files and send them on the client side or what?
of course everyone is, it helps nations strive. The question is not whether someone people are racist. The question is why does some racism result in violence.

Those are nice suggestions and all but I already see one way to abuse this script since it's in the public html folder and pretty much wide open to attack if you can gain access to it.

Let's say i see your site has timthumb and it hasn't been updated to the new, more secure, version. Perfect! I'll just use your timthumb to grab your htaccess file and see what folders your hiding. Alright so (theoretically) it looks like you're hiding it under /rj988fh4990j0jgggggf4f thinking I would never know! Clever name, but unfortunately that wasn't enough to stop me from finding it.

Next step, since timbthumb can write stuff to a cache folder, thanks to it's wonderful permissions and being able to run things using apache (which has access to your protecte folder)... I'll just copy and/or move your "secret" and "protected" bike folder into the cache folder using a quick php script i plugged into timthumb. Yay! Since Bike can be run pretty much anywhere you put it and just needs to be publically available to use it, now i'm in the clear and i can now access it at /cache/bike.

Who needs a shell script when you have timthumb and bike! Let's get SQLing!

Granted, this is not going to work for every site using bike since 1) not everybody uses timthumb and 2) a lot of people have updated it and/or have better security than this... but from my experience as a dev a lot of people who use timthumb have no effing clue what theyre doing and are vulernable to these kind of attacks. they know just enough to be dangerous. this app i feel would attract the same crowd who implement scripts like timthumb

Personally I dont think this should even exist in the public html folder. it puts you at more risk than it's use justifies.

Just to note, as I'm sure this will cross some people's minds... yes, i could gain access to somebodies database config file for say wordpress or joomla just as easy using timbthumb but those typicall dont have a built in interface that lets me run and store queries as i please =P

This app needs more security.

Update: i just realized i could probably edit the htaccess file if it was writable by apache, using timthumb, in order to disable the protection of the bike folder which would just make accessing it even easier. This just furthers my point that this app needs more security. Depending on 1 simple thing like protecting a folder using your htaccess file is like logging into an account with JUST a password (and no username, no handshake, no api key, no tokens, no nothing).

Is the www.yourdomain/yourblog/ still important ? I've seen it mentioned a lot in the past, with a minority opinion saying it doesn't matter.

Also, let's say I have a webapp on www.yourdomain.com but I want to host my blog elsewhere, let's say tumblr. I can't find a way to host it on www.yourdomain/yourblog/ with this setup, unfortunately.
I'd rather have some fascists in the government than have the whole government end up as fascist in the attempt to make sure that they are absolutely excluded.

As for not wanting a democracy, what would you prefer?
Thanks. You are right. Thats what I meant.
Probably. But the point is you can't do that in a binding way without having the national governments cede sovereignty through constitutional amendments, which instantly causes public uproar.

E.g. under the UK constitution (yes, the UK has a constitution, it is just not codified in a single act) the UK Parliament is sovereign, to the extent that it can not even bind future parliaments.

So without tricky constitutional changes (particularly tricky because parliament has pretty much "bootstrapped" its own constitutional powers in the UK into a position were giving them away again will need to be very carefully structured to stand up in court) it is pretty much impossible to grant the EU parliament any real power.

This is part of why the current structure of the EU uses a web of treaties to bind the executives of the member states in various to seek the passage of local laws to implement EU directives, with convoluted measures to cajole the national legislatives to follow through. It's still not ironclad - plenty of directives languish in national parliaments for years before being implemented (or get implemented with inconsistent differences in different member countries) exactly because the EU has very few means to push it through - but it's a far stronger method than trying to tie the national parliaments with no constitutional support.

Andrew, some good and bad news...

Good news - The team loved the implementation, especially the way it rendered on mobile for the smaller stations. They also raised some opportunities for development, such as hints of which carriage to use for travellers carrying large luggage or with accessibility problems.

Now the bad news, if you are going to want to access all the CAD station layout diagrams, 360 Virtual tours or Network / Premises photos you will need to fill in an FOI request.

Give me a shout if you want me to point you in the right direction for the best person for the FOI (save you walking up and down the platforms!). I can't however guarantee access to the information due to the obvious security but its worth you applying.
Because sometimes you need the systems to cooperate, not just serve data. The problems the OP describe all have to do with sharing state. The protocols you describe are stateless.

I would like to expand on this bit:

> Once you know the techniques, you’ll be able to apply the same grammatical patterns and language techniques in every new language you learn.

Only to new languages in the same family.

> It’s for this reason that, while Italian took me 3 or so months to master, Spanish took only 2 months and Portuguese took just a few weeks.

That will mostly be because Italian, Spanish and Portuguese are in a lot of ways quite similar. My Spanish friends understand Italian and vice versa, without having been educated in it. Being romance languages, they fit in the same family as French (which you'll also be able to learn quite easily now, although there's a bigger difference than between Italian/Spanish/Portuguese) - they all stem from Latin. For example Dutch, English and German are all part of the Germanic family of languages and once you know one, the others will be much easier, too.

The problem will be learning outside of families you know. For example the Finno-Ugric family (Finnish, Estonian, et al) will be very hard to learn since you won't be able to relate any of the words to stuff you already know, and the grammar is completely different. Knowing more languages won't help you, although knowing German might help you a little bit for Estonian if you're good at pattern-recognition.

Source: I know 4 languages from the Germanic and Romance families and am learning Estonian.
This explanation is unlikely because the same pattern was repeated in the results from the UK.

No, he's said he will continue to seek the legal advice of the ECJ regardless of whether or not parliament agrees with the current solution, so that depending on the decisions by the ECJ and the decision by parliament, they can look at how to address issues to make it possible for parliament to agree to a revised proposal.

Nothing in what he said indicates he wants to try to overrule the parliament, only that the EU executive branch believes ACTA is important, and so if the current solution is not approved by parliament they want all the information they can on how to make it acceptable.

We might not like that he's likely to try to go back for a second try with what will likely be relatively unsubstantial changes, but it is not unusual for proposals to be revised and revisited.
