This isn't as simple as it sounds, particularly if you have something like an Atom feed. Putting an IMG SRC pointing at //example.com/foo.jpg in the HTML served as a regular web page will work fine for nearly everyone. However, putting that same construct in your feed will cause a nontrivial number of people to "GET //example.com/foo.jpg" from your web server. It's irritating.

If you then change your feed to hard-code "http://example.com/... in IMGs and such, you've just created the mixed-content hole when someone reads your feed over https. So, then you really have to have a second instance of the feed with nearly-identical URLs but with https protocols.

Why not serve https to everyone? Some places block it. They tend to be oppressive regimes, but that's the way it is. They can get to you on port 80 but not port 443.

I had to go to a hybrid scheme. Web pages get //host/path, http fetches of my Atom feed get http://host/path, and https fetches of the Atom feed get https://host/path.

Even then, some browsers still don't quite work with the web site, but I'm okay with ignoring them, since they didn't send User-Agent strings and are obviously broken. Besides, there have only been two of them so far this entire week.

"When people give wrong advice, counter it, but do so without the name-calling."

I have been. For several years. You're right of course. From my perspective though it's just extremely frustrating because I try my best to help people stay safe, but day after day people keep thoughtlessly posting the same crap based on what they see on TV commercials or whatever.
I respect your position, and agree with parts of it.

But I am bothered by the vast amounts of grant and loan money that get absorbed directly by colleges, raising the cost for everyone and creating a positive feedback loop that requires endlessly more taxes and debt to sustain.

I feel we've been sold a bill of goods ("opportunity through higher ed -- don't let your kids fall behind in the new global economy, etc etc") that is way past the point of rationality.

> guys, I've seen this movie, you won't like the ending

Funny, I say the same thing. I was educated in three different cultures and graduated high-school in both the US and Argentina. What can I say, my parents got around. They are entrepreneurs and had businesses both in the US and Argentina. My father tells some amazing stories about what it was like to do business there. One of my favorites was when his clothing factory got a surprise visit from a high-ranking local military general. He showed-up with two trucks and fully armed soldiers. Went into the office with my father and walked away with an envelope with cash as well as a huge pile of merchandise. The cost of doing business. Talk about having to have balls of steel. Not sure I could do that, and I've been around.

> Still, I can't agree with your "Democrats are shit, so you should vote Republican" argument

I didn't really say that. I drew a parallel between the way Democrats, effectively, throw money at union workers to buy their votes, the votes of their families and those of retired union workers. Unions, in the US, are a solid unified voting block that always votes Democrat. That does not happen across groups of millions of people unless their vote is being bought through benefits and more.

Please tell me, what are our options? Only two people have the ability to win the race: Obama or Romney. I supported Obama in 2008. I can't rightly do that today. His re-election would mean that union will grow stronger and receive more benefits and support than they should. That, as a single issue, is a deal-breaker for me.

Nice post. I like the approach from first principles. Looked at from this perspective, and if you'll excuse the vulgarism, Quora seems like an exercise in turd-polishing
Watch more patent litigation. The suits are always just proxies for the licensing negotiation. Even seeking to get products blocked from market is just hardball.

Despite the massive judgment in the Samsung/Apple case, it will likely all boil down to licensing agreements.
I was so fortunate as to speak at MadisonRuby in 2011, and I confirm it's a special thing. Jim and Jen have really created something special in the Ruby world, and I haven't seen anything like it. For starters, I've never seen as many talks start with hugs as I have at MadisonRuby.

It's inclusive in a way that puts most uses of that word to shame. I don't know how it happens, either. I want to grow up and be like Jim.
I also live in NYC. I go on Quora a lot, and have contributed a decent amount of content, but I do feel that there is a lot of hype around it. The quality of the content is very good for some things (Machine Learning), for others (The Sopranos), not so much. I enjoy going on and reading content, but I cant see a situation where the site is ever mainstream.

One thing that really surprises me is how much some people think the speed of the site matters to the average user. I think the technology they built is amazing, as a software engineer, I am constantly impressed with everything they are doing. I have recommended the site to most of my non-tech friends and they laugh when I try to explain how cool that technology is (I even taught a few of them what Comet is). For the site to become mainstream, I think assumes most people are actually interested in reading/creating quality content - but that is the minority.

Correct... and?
While I'm suspicious of the unsupported, anecdotal assertions in this article, I'm also confused by the author's use of the phrases "water soluble" and "fat soluble."

For instance, he states about Piracetam that "Being water soluble, it has a long half life in the system, but can take up to 6 weeks of daily dosing before full effects are apparent." And about Aniracetam, "A fat soluble racetam, meaning it is fast acting."

It's been several decades since I studied biochemistry, but I seem to recall exactly the opposite -- water-soluble substances were filtered out of the body through the kidneys with relative rapidity, while fat-soluble substances needed to be metabolized by the liver and tended to hang around quite a while. I just ran a very superficial web search on this topic, and found that the popular literature on vitamins and supplements seems to agree with my interpretation.

I'm a software engineer, not a biochemist, and I've read about some fairly tortuous biochemical pathways that turn what seem to be chemical likelihoods on their heads, so I could very easily be wrong in regard to nootropic substances. But if I'm not, isn't this basic error a warning sign that the author might be mistaken in other basic ways as well?
Heh, I was throwing John Donne about these boards the other day funnily enough.

I suspect that if free education plus a free living allowance were paid for by the state to impoverished students, then you would have the UK until the mid '90s.

And given the levels of unemployment in the US at the moment, it could do a lot worse than paying those who are going to be out of work anyway, to go to school instead of sitting idle.

Also, as the housing market crash was partly triggered by toxic credit, people having more actual money as opposed to relying on debt would have probably reduced this slightly.

[edit] Also, I think it is fair to say that John probably wasn't thinking about keeping people poor to satisfy the demand for cheap labour in an oligarchic plutonomy when he penned those words.

>no tech company eats their own dog food like Microsoft

See, I've always assumed the exact opposite based on how rough the user experience is on so many Microsoft products.

I've often wondered if it was possible for a web developer at MS to sit down with IE for 30 minutes and not think "I have to fix this.... now!" When I realized how awesome Chrome developer tools were I never wanted to go back. But of course, as a web developer, you have to go back.

Or maybe that is the problem. Maybe too much dogfooding blinds you to how great the competitor is.
From Wikipedia:

"To receive a full scholarship, students must have attended Kalamazoo public schools since kindergarten. The program, unveiled at a November 10, 2005, Kalamazoo Board of Education meeting, is also viewed as an economic development tool for Kalamazoo. Since the Kalamazoo Promise was announced, enrollment in the school district has grown by 16%, test scores have improved, and a greater proportion of high-school graduates are attending college. In 2010 alone, the Kalamazoo Public School district saw enrollment rise 3% to 12,409."

Have to be there K-12 to get full tuition. There's a chart that shows the sliding scale based on your length of attendance. Most interesting part is that if you move in for the tail end of high school you get 0% covered to prevent people from temporarily joining the community just for the tuition.

Attendance -> Proportion of full tuition
K–12 100%
1–12 95%
2–12 95%
3–12 95%
4–12 90%
5–12 85%
6–12 80%
7–12 75%
8–12 70%
9–12 65%
10–12 None
11–12 None
12 None

It's a small gesture when you look at the big picture (total compensation, etc), but this means a lot to me as an employee, and really shows Microsoft's commitment to the new era of Windows 8 on beautiful devices.

It will be interesting to see how the Windows Phone 8 devices are distributed, as the previous deal for 7 was a free device only if you sign up for a 2-year contract.

Unrelated to the article, but just a small bug regarding your home page: If you choose a maker/model/ZIP and hit next, then hit the back button on your computer, you come back to the home page with the maker preselected but the model as unselectable, you have to actually choose another maker then choose the original one again to be able to pick a model.

First, I apologize for being somewhat presumptuous - clearly this was a very distressing and unfortunate series of events where your legitimate interests were harmed in pretty shady ways.

The only thing I'd add is that from what you've described, you would / should have had perfectly good legal redress completely independent of patents. The kinds of problems you describe would normally be addressed through contract and trade secrets law - presumably you had NDAs, contracts that protected your interests with contractors, etc. If those didn't work or you didn't have the resources to follow them through then I'm not sure you can presume patents would have been different.
The cost of helium will be insignificant. He has a molecular mass of 4, so 4 grams gives you 22.4 liters at standard temperature and pressure. So 1 gram of helium should give you about 50 drives (at 100cc each).

Helium is like, 25 cents a gram. 2 cents a hard drive. If it goes up 100 times in price, it'll still be cheap compared to the cost of the drive ($2 a drive). It'll probably still be cheap, compared to the added cost of sealing the drive.
=) Thanks David. Can't wait to start working together in the near future.
shadowflit made a good point about two-factor authentication. I would also add that by having cookies (and hence a presumed established session with you bank, email provider, or social network) you bypass one of the steps to get what you presumably want: access. I mean to point out that there is no reason to run this script if you already have physical access to a computer with the target's account logged on. You already have the extra access you need.
I find it absolutely hilarious that you level all these allegations of corruption at one side as if they don't exist on the other side. Enjoy casting you ballot.

Microsoft finds malware on new computers in China
I'm not arguing with you in a dis-agreement sense. Actually, I am big fan of minimal stuff. In essence we also agree that these numbers are perhaps just not feasible, so things will change. For example, even under the example you've provided (about 1/2 of the SF numbers), the large portion of university education is 1/3 of the total and 2.5x the house cost. That seems pretty un-realistic. So, i agree with you.

But, the data show just historically, that even the cost to support the student in a university town, is also skyrocketing. 30k per kid x 4 is 120k just for living expenses, not tuition. So that is 240k for 2 kids and that is 2.2x your house cost.

Similalry, I understand economics. But with $20T outstanding, printing money things will happen. If interest rates double (and they are 1/2 of normal now), then that Interest amount is 1.6x the defense budget.

To think about that for a minute: The Banks, if they were acting as a group, could take 1/2 the debt service and finance an Army on the Scale of The USA (by far the largest on the planet). We would basically be renting the country from the banks at 2x what we pay to keep people from "stealing" if you will the country by force of violence.

These are some interesting juxtapositions.

Also, I'm not debating your $500k number at all. I'm just pointint out that for most people the goal is somewhere as per ChuckMc post. But the meath suggests things either are already more complicated that we think, or are going to get so at some stage.

Lastly - on the disruption of education. I think between the two of ur posts we are making the case why this may be heading in the direction you are proposing.

I'm not going to get into the politics of your post, but I will point out simple factual errors.

> Here in the US it used to be more subtle. Not now. Democrats openly channel benefits towards government and private unions as a way to buy their votes.

What "then" and "now" are you talking about? Democrats have been aligned with unions since at least FDR.

> If a being from another planet landed in the US and listened to Obama speak it would conclude that the only important people in this nation are "teachers, police, firemen and construction workers". Why? Because that is all he mentions in his speeches. Translated: "union, union, union, union".

I don't know why you think this is the case. Lets see, let's take an example from a speech directly to the audience most friendly to him; the DNC. And let's list all of the occupations that he mentions in a positive way:

1. soldier in Patton’s Army
2. work on a bomber assembly line
3. people in the shadow of a shuttered steel mill
4. teachers
5. students
6. scientists and engineers
7. small businesswoman
8. construction worker
9. workers ... who feared they’d never build another American car
10. business leaders
11. manufacturing jobs
12. jobs today building wind turbines
13. farmers
14. scientists (again)
15. construction workers (again)
16. teachers (again)
17. principals
18. students (again)
19. Americans who still serve in harm’s way

So, he mentions soldiers several time, scientists several times, businessmen/women several times, teachers several times, construction workers several times, students several times. He mentions farmers once, principals once, engineers once, and a few assorted manufacturing jobs (whether you count that as one item or not depends on how you categorize them). He mostly criticizes Wall Street and bankers. So, yes, he does mention the people you mention, but he mentions a bunch of other people as well.

> The last thing this country needs is more union workers earning $300K for life when they retire.

You are going to seriously have to stretch to find such unionized workers. Sure, you may be able to find one or two here or there to use for anecdotal evidence, but a few anecdotes do not make good evidence. Median wages for unionized workers are $917 per week (~$48,000 per year), median wages for non-union workers are $717 (~$37,000 per year). Source: http://www.bls.gov/news.release/union2.nr0.htm. And the premium for union membership is much higher for lower-wage jobs than higher wage. Source: http://lcc.aflcio.org/WhatsNewDocuments/EFCA/LowWageWorkers....

Unionized workers are not, in general, fat cats making six figures without working. They are lower wage workers who happen to have gotten a somewhat better deal than they could have individually via collective bargaining.

The down-votes may be in response to the style of your prose and that your comment is directed to people that (most likely) do not read this forum. If you want to engage with the other forum readers, perhaps you should have said something along the lines of: "I worry that this funding promise will be broken if the donors lose some of their wealth. If that occurs, the children's lives may be worse than if the promise were never made in the first place."

I happen to disagree with that sentiment. I understand that giving and then taking away can be worse than no action, but I doubt that the donors' wealth is so volatile that the funds would run out before a large cohort graduates college.
