Same thing happened to me, except when Wallet hung it apparently processed my order. I'm glad I checked twice since I had two orders (Nexus 10, not Nexus 4 - Had no chance of getting that guy).
To me, making a 40 hour work week is not the same as "devoting my life to work". Obviously there is a relationship there, but even if you have two hours of travel time each workday, and you work 8 hours a day (add a half hour break), there is time to do other things than work on a workday.
That doesn't really seem to be about migrating, but about setting up an arbitrary php app with AppFog. Here's a few things that are wrong with it:

* It assumes you have the directory locally. Can't it be downloaded from phpfog?

* It doesn't say anything about copying environment variables.

* It doesn't talk about making sure you have at least as much system resources. It should say how to find how much memory you had with phpfog to make sure you have enough with appfog.

* It doesn't cover data migration.

* Even without covering data migration, it could at least have covered migrating the database configuration, but it doesn't.

* It leaves with an appfog domain name. It should say how to switch them.

* Too much of the post is devoted to going through AppFog's features.

* It has some cheesy marketing for AppFog like "af-plus-php-equals-win" and "Lots more functionality where that came from".

I don't think I could bring myself to call it a migration tutorial.
Depends on how you define "works", certainly. People are rarely as clever as they think they are.

"But the crypto community has told us time and again that we shouldn't be trying to learn the fine details of crypto."

I really disagree with this, and there are now good free courses available online.

Implementing as anything other than a toy is dangerous, but learning should never be discouraged. Besides which it's fascinating.
Think about it in the other direction too- if you're an asian who isn't the best at math you're considered a failure for not getting consistant B+ and A grades.
Why can't we measure a student's progress longitudinally? It can't be a cost problem.

A student's improvement should be measured based on that student's previous level, not the level of that student's race.

edit: Basically, wouldn't it be both smart and possible to keep track of a student's education records just like we do with a person's medical records?
Just follow this - http://www.androidcentral.com/gsm-galaxy-nexus-android-42-up.... AC tools link has adb for Win/Mac/Linux and that is all you will need in addition to the update zip.
Not that it will avoid errors on the part of the implementor, but if you do a thorough reading of the classic "Applied Cryptography" by Schneier, he pretty much covers all these problems. He covers all the issues such as ECB vs CBC, IVs, HMACs, etc. It's the definitive book on the topic and anyone who is interested in cryptography should buy this book.
thanks steve, but i know what i'm doing.

it boggles my mind that people presume ignorance on the part of the actor (as referenced in the blog that "everybody else is doing it wrong").

its a deliberate play against my current income that i will report and its not actually a strict withdrawal. 40k and 10% early fee were strictly an example. that's not actually what's going on in my case, but its a lot more digestable and the vanilla case and I'd do it even if that was my situation (I'm doing better than that).

i was a financial professional and think about that sort of stuff.
I've been on death march projects before; these projects simply burnt people out and quality was atrocious. There's a point where you don't care much about the job, all you want to do is go home and perform $favorite_mindless_relaxation. It's deleterious to your health, your relationships, and your mental life.

I get concerned when I see people celebrate things like weekly hackathons running into the early morning hours, working 60+ hour weeks, etc. Of course it can be needful, but it's also not a sustainable work pace doable for 30-40 years without massive personal issues for the vast majority of people.
The concept of "we charge your card when the product ships" was invented how many years ago? It sounds like Google is retrofitting physical products into a store that was never meant to handle them.
Personally, I find that pieces of writing come out in little shreds over time; I was hoping this would be something that would assist in the process of recording and putting them together, or maybe some sort of nonlinear text editor that lets you have multiple alternate phrasings for a line. But no, I guess I'll still have to write it myself.

I've seen a couple companies looking for exactly that recently (I'll see if I can find them), but I think you might have to adjust your numbers a bit... 50% cut in salary != hours/2 as it won't cover their fixed costs (like healthcare and G&A costs).
My startup is designed around these issues: https://uptano.com

Using two different keys is considered good practice, but I don't think it helps as much as you seem to think it does.
The developer account should allow me to test for that.
Really? I understand the difficulty in getting data for individual students, but for the areas that a school serves, I figured that there was some sort of public demographic data for them.

If it is, than they could simply use past test scores, giving a curve for schools that have done the worst in past years.
I really like the story behind the domain acquisition. It sounded like it was going to be unfun before you got to it, but I'm really glad it went over well and it sounds like both parties were happy.

Sometimes it's the hardest part of the rebranding.
why the hell is this on the front page?
The size really is a big thing. This phone feels like it's the right size. The iPhone just feels...small.

And then the OS. I didn't like the built-in keyboard, so I downloaded and installed another one. Now "keyboard" is just a preference in the settings menu, and I choose which one I want.

But it's a whole lot of small things like that. Android just feels grown up, to me. iOS feels like a sandbox, like something you'd find in a school or something, or "baby's first telephone".
slick lightweight interface.
Possibly, i have certainly made that point before (and it remains my most upvoted post, so certainly other phd students and postdocs agree with me).

I do think that people need to stop expecting to get a physicist, statistician, economist or applied mathematician (every graduate analysis job I've seen had that wonderful qualification) as most of those people already have really well paying jobs in finance (or satisfying careers in academia), and open their eyes to the fact that for many data science roles, social scientists are probably a better fit.

If you're dealing with numbers generated by people's interaction with a website, a handy background to have is in some form of quantitative social science. (I am of course horribly biased, by being a quantitatively trained social scientist).

In any case, I expect data science to go through a dot.com like boom and then a horrible crash, so it may be a good idea to get the skills (and possibly qualifications) now, while the sun still shines and people are still hypnotised by the promise of big data, rather than the tedium and slog of extracting value from it.
I concur with 35636. Compound interest was the old era. The new era is "pay the piper". Returns will no longer be fueled by $trillions in federal borrowing. Instead they'll be greatly pressured downward (perhaps to negative levels) by austerity measures.
Not a bad intro at all.

That being said, intros to options scare me in the same way a "Beginner's Guide to Fugu Preparation' would scare me: as a novice, you have no business mucking around with such dangerous things, but as an initiate, you have no need of the article.

Still, there is a readership for such things, and the author is clear to point out the potentially unlimited downside in the intro.

Now, scripting Excel with Python? I'd forgotten about these guys. My interest is officially re-piqued.
Oy, I should have known better :) I know how pregnancy works, and I'm not repulsed by that in and of itself at all. My younger brother was born at home so I have experienced it quite closely. Further, I hope to have several children myself one day, being present at their birth and all that follows. The biggest fear in my life, and i mean that with every cell in my body, is that this wont be realized for one reason or another.

I'm sorry if I offended you guys, especially the poster (I see why you picked the link, and it's totally fine with me). I know how this seems like another excellent example of "HN going downhill with rudeness".

To clarify my post: The article seems entirely lacking of substance with fluffy self-helpy answers, with no point but for her to needlessly glorify her pregnancy. Further, it fits with a recent fad, by "helping" you making that old-school-biological-baggage of yours fit with your fast paced modern lifestyle, a subject I really do not appreciate as the articles regarding it are, as the piece in question examplifies, usually just fluff for pageviews. "How to cook excellently in 3 min", "How to raise a family and be a CEO" etc...

Another issue was with the aesthetics: http://www.being-a-broad.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/6_61...
It seems absolutely awkward, especially if it was made for humorous purposes as that is, to me, unclear.

My point regarding self esteem, stems from the third photo. There is no reason for you as pregnant woman to wear a bellyshirt, unless you're desperately attempting to call attention to yourself. I feel it does it overly so, which I trace to some insecurity in other areas of life. When I see stereotypical behaviour like that, i have a need to call it out. Perhaps to feel superior and establish my dominance or whatever....

(Of course she could be wearing it because the photografer asked for it. For the staging part. To me, it looks unnatural and stupid if that is the case, leading back to the aesthetics part)

I thought of deleting my post, as I did not want to make anyones day worse but this is indirectly a discussion about me, and, as such, an opportunity for me to learn more about myself, how i should improve. Social life hacking if you will. Please flag the post, if you feel it is the right thing to do, though.

Sorry everyone, at least I sparked some discussion, making up for the poor form through this post i hope.
On the other hand, they were paid. Hard work trumps having nothing to eat.
You could make a much simpler and more powerful statement:

All the code you've ever written is broken.

Since cryptographic code is harder than most code and getting simple stuff right is impossible there is an extremely small chance that you'd get crypto code right 100%.

With most code the consequences are not all that bad, with cryptographic code the consequences can be disastrous.
One of the complaints in the article is that it's billed per message. $3000 is a bit much for some low level employee in the social media department to sign off while pushing ads.

I guess any kind of prepaid arrangement (with some reasonable quotas, or upfront costs + small price per post) would be more manageable.
Interesting! I believe the backers should have a voice - what are they saying to do? Fight it?!
The school does, however, have detailed information on how students were performing the previous year which they can use without tarnishing themselves with this "statistically useful proxy" that happens to also amount to political suicide. The problem with doing that isn't that it is difficult, it's that it doesn't introduce enough misdirection for them to get away with what they're trying to get away with. What they're trying to do, naturally, is the accounting trick of paying for lack of progress by disadvantaged kids with the inevitable progress of privileged kids. They're trying to obscure their inability to teach effectively by throwing in the racial component. It's bullshit, and people are right be outraged by it, and the administrators responsible for it should be made to pay for it.

How Facebook's New Sound Notifications Could Boost Engagement
I don't really understand why they need to do it on a group basis at all. It's easy enough to put each student in a database at the very beginning and say, "the school should provide a net improvement of N% for each student." There is no reason to set a target for a group as a whole when technology allows us to track individuals just as easily.

"1. Tell me about some peer reviewed papers that you published as first author?"

It could be that the author's first criterion is an important predictor. But it seems to me that unless somebody is actually in academia, publishing papers is more akin to a hobby than a professional qualification, especially given the inherent bias against unaffiliated authors.

Edit: On re-reading, the author (hardtke) writes the above when talking specifically about weeding through post-doc applicants. So my quote is out of context and my criticism unfair.
Why are smartphones capitalism and not drugs. If anything drugs prove the workings of makets better then smartphones. The drugs market shows that markets work even in a state of anarchy.
Hi there and thanks for the feedback that the pricing page needs to be clearer for you. Here's what Free means, when we say free:

Unlimited API transactions (no limits, no hidden fees)

ACL Permissions

Collaboration (this means one team with up to three developers per app)

Analytics

S3 integration

Twitter and Facebook integration

Geo queries (unlimited)

Work flow basic (this means you get both a development AND a production environment - no need to create separate accounts or apps to manage dev to production)

The ability to mix-in any third party or StackMob modules in the Marketplace

People's live shouldn't be wasted doing repetitive tasks year after year, just to afford food and shelter.
This is why any competent computer worker should never accept a salaried position. Sure, it's cool to say "I make 100k/yr!", but it's much cooler to say "I make 65/hr, but I got paid for that 4-hour conference call last night to troubleshoot production"
You could evaporate the brine and make sea salt. You basically remove the last bit of water after most of the salt has crystallized and you get pure salt and the impurities concentrate in the left over water. It should be more efficient than traditional sea salt production as the solution starts out more concentrated.

note that I'm doing my PhD in materials science and focus on biomineralization.
Now I'm depressed about the sad state of medical records too. :(
At the end of the day, ezl made the decision and will live with the consequences, so good luck to him.

What makes me nervous, and I consider to be great big red lights on this idea, is that his description of why he did it is full of emotional language about committing and investing in himself and the thrill of making it "real". These are words and approaches that make feel very cautious about anyone because I'm always unsure how much the decision is based on a cold appraisal of the facts and the risk/reward ratio, vs. rah-rah.

I doubt ezl's blog entry is even a tenth of what he went through in making the decision (at least I hope so), so I won't presume to judge. But as an outsider critiquing this idea, I want to see more cold logic, less adrenaline.
There's this almost cult-like obsession with measurement among the hacker crowd where everything must be measured and optimized. Unfortunately, people don't work this way. Telling people that they haven't measured up to some arbitrary standard is a significant demotivator. If you are measuring your workers on some chart, they'll begin either gaming the chart or comparing against each other, neither of which will motivate them to do better work - it will motivate them to optimize whatever you're measuring. I saw this at my last job and it was blindingly, painfully obvious how bad of an idea it was but management kept it up.

Take a support staff for example. What do you measure? How many calls they make? That incentivizes making lots of short calls. How many notes about clients calls they made? That incentivizes leaving lots of minimum length notes. Am I a worse support staff member if I leave longer notes and make longer calls? How do you accurately measure the "results" of a support staff? By customer retention? Good luck correlating individual client retention to specific support staff when customers talk to many different employees during a sales or support process.

Once you get past people who create objective value for the company, measurements are difficult to impossible. Measuring against an arbitrary standard is worse than doing nothing because it demotivates employees who aren't as high up on your arbitrary standard. Not everyone at a company has a direct impact on revenue - janitor, accountant, sysadmin, chef, etc.
A safe, fun, and especially effective way to learn crypto is to actually implement the attacks.

dotcloud seems about as close a match as you could get, including the PaaS pricing which seems expensive to people who are comfortable setting up their own server. I have seen Heroku working for PHP but it needs a certain type of application that doesn't need to write files and uses postgres. WordPress can actually live within these requirements, with a plugin that rewrites mysql queries as postgres, but it isn't easy.

There are more options if all you need is WordPress. ZippyKid and page.ly both seem to be high quality and economical.

You sounded like you didn't know what you were doing because your description in your blog post was very poor. You mentioned you were doing an early withdrawal, so obviously based on what you wrote, it seemed like you are lacking proper knowledge.

All you mentioned was the 10% early withdrawal fees. You also didn't adequately compare your decision with things like taking loans, credit cards, home equity line of credit, etc. Depending on what you expect your cash flow to be, taking short term loans might be a better solution.

Maybe you might know better, but based on what you wrote, it sounds like you made an ignorant decision.
My income (like a lot of people who do tech startups) is variable between $0-40k/yr (pre-funding, etc.) and $150-300k (high paid consulting, post-acquisition, etc.).

What I do is 401k and SEP IRA (and defer) as much as I can during the high income years (and pull forward expenses), then convert it to Roth IRA during the lean years, to take advantage of differences in marginal rate. The goal being to get it all into a Roth as soon as possible at an overall decent rate.

Roth gets you forever compounding, and tax free dividends and other gains, and no taxes on distribution, which is basically ideal.
Never gonna happen. It would expose the lazy and require management to have to think.

Well, some multiverse hypotheses say that there are, in fact, other universes beyond our own that have different values, and that these values are random. Some of these may implode on themselves or expand too quickly for life, but we exist because the numbers for this universe were appropriate for creating life.

No, he famously and openly admits to not doing this. _Applied_ is not a definitive book, and _Practical Cryptography_ (now _Cryptography Engineering_), which he co-authors, starts out with a disclaimer to this effect.
We ( http://bu.mp/company/ ) used NACL client and server side when we built our new app ( https://theflockapp.com/ ). It's a pretty great library--a shame it's not more widely used.
No, this is price discrimination. There are _some_ people willing to pay more to have it.

It doesn't represent that the aggregate demand is at this price.
It does not seem to cause any problem to Amazon, Apple, or the vast majority of other shops out there. The biggest shop debit your card when they ship and let you cancel at any time.

Google is crafting buzz like Apple is doing with the queues at the Apple store or their irritating "reserve your iPhone" that in reality does not reserve anything. A difference though, if you don't want to bother, you can simply order online and it get it delivered the old boring way once it is back in stock. The Nexus can only be bought online.

As with many corner cases of English grammar, I don't think there is such a decisive answer here that we can call him absolutely right or absolutely wrong, but FWIW his approach ('a' vs 'an' selected based upon the pronunciation of the acronym) is _much_ more common in my experience and is generally accepted.
Sometimes it's not about you picking someone. Sometimes it's about you gradually accepting someone as a mentor without even you realising it.This usually happens when the person is communicative, clicks along with you, encourages you to explore, and is kind enough to guide you to your growth in any way possible.
There's a difference between explaining to an eight-year-old what you're doing and instructing that eight-year-old in how to do the same thing safely without spending a long time on his education.

Even if they only take a hold to ensure the funds are on the card, many (most?) banks won't tell you that the money wasn't charged yet, and they'll make it unavailable.
