If this gets widespread enough, they'll just inspect traffic when it leaves your VPN gateway/server. VPN is fine for public wifi, or connections between predetermined networks but you can't stretch it much past that.
Possibly because Nginx serves static content much faster than Node.

That's pretty much the opposite of what I want. And what they want regardless of whether or not they know it.

Firefox OS is going to continue to open peoples' eyes to web apps and make people wonder why they scrambled around wasting so much money to make native news apps that do nothing but render a webkit view anyway. As another person has pointed out, there are very increasingly few things that webapps can't do that native apps can, especially on mobile where they're unprivileged anyway.

Alternatively, you could grant the node binary the ability bind ports < 1024, using setcap (Linux only):

sudo setcap 'cap_net_bind_service=+ep' /path/to/nodejs

Then you don't have to ever run it as root (at least not for the purpose of binding to the right port).

I'm not sure I get the deal: You buy bandwidth and then give it away in order to get some more free bandwidth. What is the catch though? Why do they want you to share your bandwidth? What are they getting out of it?
thank you for your feedback! "Use it as a tool - not as the foundation" is something we will strongly think about when building our next app.
The shorter employment cycles also provide an opportunity to try different "styles" of company to see what you like best. Throughout university I've been employed in government, at a multinational corporation, at a startup of nine employees, and at the company I cofounded. This experience, combined with living in different cities (Ottawa, Toronto, Vancouver, Waterloo) for each, has been invaluable.
That's ... one way to characterize Intent Filters. They enable, more or less, exactly what you talk about in the article, as I mentioned in my other comment.
Everyone I know who's left facebook - EVERYONE I know who's left facebook - has come crawling back. In most cases it's because they're tired of being left in the dark about events. So as to whether or not it leaves "holes in your life", I guess that depends how you feel about sitting alone at home while your friends are out skiing, watching movies, or catching a show.
Don't get me wrong - v2.0 is vastly better than the last version. I guess I just check multiple accounts frequently enough that the three taps it takes to switch inboxes is a bit of a drag.

Huh. I'll be starting an internship at the Mountain View office a few days after I/O. Will be interesting to see what the dynamic is coming down from the I/O high.
Interesting. This isn't just a product, it's a product-as-a-service.
Funny that leaving doesn't leave holes in your life. I don't have Facebook or Twitter or IM or any kind of social media. The last thing I had was ICQ back in 2004 or so. But I do feel like I have a hole in my life.

I miss being able to easily keep in touch with old friends. People you rarely see anymore in real life. I think social media is perfect for that. I have often contemplated getting a Facebook account for that.

The problem is, if I am on Facebook than all my usual friends and family will want to add me ad well. People I often see and who's updates I don't want to read at all because I actually talk to them in real life on a regular basis. But I am afraid they're going to get offended if I decline their invites. That's what's stopping me from getting an account.

Well, that an the constant stream of security and privacy WTFs that always make me happy I don't have an account.
Hi j_s,

>You may have indadvertently overstated your case here.

I meant, amongst the people who cry foul. Of course we know who organizes any given conference, just not necessarily amongst those who complain.

I don't disagree re: the mob mentality of piling on on Twitter very quickly becoming useless and counter productive. I am just jaded over the casual dismissal large segments of population here abouts immediately applies to the topic.

I say this as someone who has organized conferences.
The last 4 founders I worked for went to:

I'm always amazed how people talk about the SV startup community as if it is some sort of equal opportunity venture. These people become founders and meet VCs because of the connections their family has and the connections their school has given them. Whenever I see a specific former boss asked their key to success and they say some super high level touchey feely crap and not "well, my dad knows a bunch of VCs and basically talked them into funding us". Its basically the same as Republican's telling you how hard they worked to get where they are when really they were born on third base and think they hit a triple.
Followed to illogical conclusions, how could anything ever be good? ;)

While we're on the (off-)topic:

How the hell do you use Bootstrap, directly `@import`ed into LESS?

I'm learning HTML/CSS for the first time (this century, anyway), and I keep reading about the virtues of semantic markup and the evils of presentational classes and markup, and am totally ready to drink the koolaid. I keep seeing LESS/SASS referenced as important tools in achieving this all tersely; and I would rather not have to dig into custom styling and design until after I've got a broader picture, and also have a vague notion that it handles cross-browser inconsistencies for you, so I'm trying to use Bootstrap. Using them together has been an ungodly massive pain, and most components aren't working at all.

Am I having a fundamental misunderstanding of these concepts, or is it just totally not usable in the way I've been struggling to use it?

Basic things like `.btn-group`, and `.input-prepend`, do not work when applied with LESS. Many components, documented in the official Bootstrap docs, and properly exposed in the compiled CSS, either aren't in scope or are not fully applied, when mixed in. Styles will apply properly when put in `<ul class=".btn-group">`, but that's what I thought LESS was supposed to help you get away from. `.container` works with `Bootstrap-SASS`[0], but not with the LESS from the official repo[1]. A massive and unpredictable amount of Bootstrap seems to just not be exposed when importing the LESS source, and what is and isn't, and how to use what isn't, doesn't seem to be documented anywhere. The handful of stackoverflow answers on the topic only ever reference `.makeRow` and `.makeColumn(n)`, with no acknowledgement of the wider issue.

It's wasted hours and hours of my time, trying to figure this all out. It's infuriating.

Would I have a better experience with Zurb Foundation, or some other framework? Is Bootstrap badly documented, or badly designed, or am I just a dumb neophyte missing something major?

Close. TN Visa requires a relevant degree but U.S. Labor department policies equate 3 years of work experience with 1 year of university. As such, interns generally don't have a degree or 12 years of work experience, so they can't get a TN. The standard internship visa is J1.

Disclosure: currently living in Waterloo as I was unable to obtain a TN.
I have 5 email accounts for various side projects - one for all my personal emails, one for a blog that I run where I receive user submissions, one for a product I'm working on now that receives notifications of all new sign-ups and payments. Things like that.

I know Gmail lets me pull all those into one inbox with account importing, but there's a limit on those too. Maybe it's just time for me to simplify all my accounts :/

In the US, there is Drexel University which also has an awesome co-op program. Many students here had worked in employers like Fb, Google, MS, Amazon, ... and then have fulltime offers.

So if you want to stay in the US and have the co-op, go to Drexel.
The reasons that other folks have mentioned (static files, nginx is built for lots of HTTP requests), as well as basic load balancing between several 'worker processes'. Sometimes you'll want to have several app server processes running with several ports open, and have nginx load balance between all of those processes (then load balance again at a higher tier between all of the different nginx processes.)
TV is split up that way, but it's very different in that most of the material is produced/financed in house. So they're essentially licensing the stuff exclusively to themselves.

Netflix and friends don't do that or not in any big way (Netflix is doing it with Arrested Development).
I note that they're not applying DPI to encrypted traffic per the spec, but they do note that unencrypted portions of encrypted packets will still be inspected.

The example they give is that if a PDU is encrypted, but all of the other sections of the packet are not, then only the PDU won't be inspected.

Still, DPI is scary as all hell.

Endless bonus points to you for mentioning capabilities. They're so unknown but gems to come across.
Can someone explain what this means from a practical point of view for telecommunications end users? Does it mean that NGN traffic will all undergo deep packet inspection in transit? What exactly are NGNs?
yep. they would likely need to get dealers to sign up for the service and share some data ala TrueCar.
Two years ago my DVD player broke. A year ago I replaced by laptop with a macbook air. No CD drive anywhere in site. And I've hardly noticed. I don't even remember what DVD's look like. And as somewhat of an apartment dwelling transient, I don't mind the open shelf space, and lack of another box I have to haul around in life after DVDs/CDs. I think generations will look back at the way we stored information and think, "what a waste of physical material".

I used the term "hardwiring." Since your post mentioned wall sockets, it appeared there was miscommunication regarding what is required by the NEC.

If the idea is to create solar powered smoke detectors as a market disruptor, then it's a non-starter because they do not meet current code requirements for primary and secondary power supplies.

In an alternative case, homebrew electrical installations are why building permits are required and construction by intuition is why building codes have existed since the time of Hammurabi.

Few homes have one smoke detector and thus using one larger panel has some attractiveness. With surplus capacity, why not throw some LED lighting on the circuit? Etc. etc. down to the turtle.
I am currently in Waterloo because I was unable to obtain a TN (lack of relevant degree). I recommend you re-check the laws because things may not be as rosy as you believe.

3 years of work experience is equivalent to 1 year of university. So, if you have no degree, you'd need 12 years of work experience.
It's relevant for those who do not care about such delineations and find it more efficient or so. I like having the unified inbox for several reasons such as being able to get see a quick overview of my personal/university/work accounts and act relatively to them. Sometimes though I'll switch into one account alone.
Can you share a bit of information about what the application/interview process was like? I'm sort of in the same position, and I'm very interested in applying for summer or winter 13.

Interesting how your anecdotal evidence is so uncommon. Maybe you live in an area where scammers use Craigslist more than other buy/sell methods to perpetuate their scams?
Apple has a B2B program where you can make an app available only to phones registered to a particular organisation. It has not been rolled out worldwide, like the google program appears to be:
http://www.apple.com/business/vpp/

On the downside of googles program, it appears to rely on a company using google apps (basically the corporate version of Gmail, which runs under your own domain). I understand not many companies use this - its definitely not as popular as say - exchange.
> A targeted ad network needs to log/know more about you,

An untargeted ad network needs to know generally the same things, to mitigate fraud and inform advertisers about the size/demographics of viewers.

People seem to believe an ad network that selects ads randomly is more trustworthy or less privacy-damaging than one that selects ads based on the current page or current viewer, which is a belief I consider unreasonable.
Doesn't that hurt if you plan on any P2P stuff? Or do they support UPnP when NAT'ing you?
Good luck with that. What they have just "approved" is the IP-equivalent of opening every single piece of mail. That is, wiretapping.
How to quickly convert CSV files to Excel (xls) without coding in your browser
Dictators can work well when they are insanely talented, motivated, and tuned into their minions. Being a trusted minion of a powerful dictator has provided the most effective, fun, coordinated experiences of my career so far.

On the other hand, they are a single point of failure. When someone succeeds from outside in pushing the dictator out, chaos ensues. Some will thrive under the ensuing autonomy as they see room to advance their own agenda, but many of the most talented will move on if they perceive that the team is in a degraded state. Worst of all, being a trusted minion of the prior dictator leaves you with a suspect role when a new dictator grabs the throne. Experiencing this is somewhat painful and complicates your weighted decision heuristic for what to do with the rest of your life. Will things get better? How long do I wait? Could I possibly reinvent myself to the degree that e.g. patio11 was able? etc.
I'd suggest writing down all of your ideas in a separate file, along with the "early draft" HN comment, and then making it a point to dequeue them into full-blown blog posts on a regular basis.

Commenting is for engagement, rather than broadcasting, no matter how much lurkerbaiting you tell yourself you're doing.
Only insofar as it talks about 1) partially encrypted traffic, 2) using local copies of the keys for decryption, or 3) flow identification of IPSEC. Properly done I don't see an IPSEC/L2TP VPN being vulnerable to DPI - although you will want a constant stream of "filler" packets going back and forward to thwart traffic analysis.

Otherwise, the whole thing is a disgrace and the engineers responsible for working on it need to take a long look at themselves. Dressing it up with examples of "Detection of Malware" is disingenuous, it's abundantly clear what the use case is here.
It has now become a Google/FB/MSFT/Amazon poaching ground.

Fighting the genes is in our genes and this is simply our ability to adapt, which is generally a good thing - though it is too often manifesting as counter-productively.

So "fighting the genes" is sometimes not bad at all but I agree that most of the time it may be.
Disclaimer: I am in the current batch.

I don't know if there is a 'pitch' concerning pausing college for a semester. I think the same thing applies as for those people (like me) who quit their programming jobs to come to hacker school:

I've learned more in the last 2 months than I have in the last year at my job. Pair programming with people who are better than you in a specific skill is an incredible way to learn. If you love programming and want to become a better programmer by spending time doing what you love with other people who are driven by the same passions, come to hacker school. You have found your space.

In his excellent book, Phantoms in the Brain, V.S. Ramachandran describes a case of Capgras Syndrome where a son could no longer recognize his parents in person, only on the phone.

His explanation (summarizing crudely here) was that the patient had suffered a head injury in a car accident and that the accident must have disrupted some kind of neural channel responsible for that warm fuzzy feeling you get when you recognize someone close to you like your parents. When the patient saw his parents, he expected that feeling but did not get it. As a result, he could only logically conclude that his parents were imposters.

What that story made me realize was the extent to which our beliefs, even our logic, is driven by subtle feelings we may not even be aware of. I have become much more attuned to those warm fuzzy feelings (I think that was actually the term Ramachandran used) in myself.

I know what you mean when you say rage drives your social media consumption, but in my case I wouldn't call it rage so much as self-righteousness. I don't rage too often and when I do I almost immediately feel embarrassed. But I find righteousness a much more seductive warm fuzzy feeling. Much of the media has optimized their business around it. (Ever wonder why some people get so worked up year after year about the War on Christmas?) Social media is very good at delivering my fix and keeping me coming back for more.
Absolutely agree that it's entirely reasonable to comply with the requirements of 512(c) to get the safe harbor, but to pick a couple of nits:

1. Copying a news article is likely to be infringing, but it might not be; it's always worth considering whether it's a fair use, especially for very factual material.
2. More importantly, it's not that HN would be liable "by default". Without the safe harbor, they would be open to claims of secondary liability, but the copyright holder would still have to prove the elements of contributory, vicarious, or "inducement" infringement.

Again, still worth it to be able to avoid lawsuits or at least dispose of them at an early stage, but the risk isn't automatic, full liability for the hosting site.
Can someone explain the problems with the ITU creating specifications? I thought I understood it, but all the recent excitement and anti-ITU sentiment tells me I must be missing something.

How is what the ITU does different from any standards body? They can propose standards for DPI, censoring, etc., but that won't magically make Level3 or Comcast or any particular ISP start playing with my packets.

What am I missing? Where does the stuff the ITU does somehow change the policies and actions of my ISP?
I don't see a point in releasing the dates 6 months before the event. I think we all know the approximate dates. It's not like you can block those dates and go out purchasing flights and hotel. Nothing is for sure until a pass is bought. And something tells me they are already sold out.
One thing I noticed is they released a hash #io13 to follow on Google+, may be they are just pushing us to use Google+.
My opinion regarding this is that Chrome OS is now ready to be ported to Android. All of Google's flagship devices now ship Chrome instead of 'Browser' and afaik Chromebooks are all ARM now (although Android is cross architecture)

We know all that. That's why we're being cautious about exploring it now; but we should be able to get a definitive answer on the presence or absence of Martian life within a decade or two. If there is life there, we'd be better off studying it iin situ than trying to transport it back and forth.

Present or not, we need to have some kind of strategy for how to survive there on a long term basic, either for a small-scale scientific mission or on a larger scale to terraform.

Besides, there are several other places in the solar system that have the potential to host life, such as Europa. I don't want we should spend so long sitting on our hands that another generation or more has to die without seeing the human race explore further. It irritates me that it's already 40 years since the last moon landing: http://xkcd.com/893/
I think it is a good time to start incorporating DJB's NaCl into ... everything. And also run HTTP Everywhere in the meantime. And set up opportunistic IPSEC.

On a related note, I suggest we stop calling the heads of state and bureaucratic organizations like the UN "Leaders" and starting referring to them by their real self appointed role, "Rulers".

Language shapes perception, and we've been using the wrong term for too long.

Hopefully this deal will also include more recent films like the Pixar movies, Tangled, etc. There's little that's more frustrating that having your kids scratch up their movies, rendering them unwatchable. Fortunately, I've made iTunes copies of many movies, but they get new movies faster than I can keep up. And my oldest, 5, stepped on the Avengers less than a week after buying it, and cracked the disc. Fortunately, I had already ripped it, so I burned it back to DVD.
