You are almost certainly using your ISP's DNS.

I use OpenDNS for the filtering. I've got four kids and dozens of devices scattered through the house. OpenDNS keeps most of the crud that I'd rather they not see out of my network and it requires zero administration when a friend comes over or a new device shows up.

The other benefit of using a provider like OpenDNS is a (supposed) reduction in the time it takes to do a DNS lookup. Given how many DNS lookups I do in a day, this could add up to real time (but I've never actually tested whether it is faster or not).
As a senior in high school, a pair NASA mech. engineers allowed me to shadow them. I had no experience in the field, nor current acceptance into an engineering program. They took me in and let me to work with flight hardware (presently taking 3D images of the sun [1]). They had to jump through hoops to get me in the door. The jobs were reserved for UC Berkeley students, and for some reason, they picked me.

It was an amazing, life changing experience. I got through some of my hardest engineering exams knowing I'd one day get to do something as cool as them. I now build research instruments for physical oceanography. I'm not at all surprised I stayed in a field of exploratory science.

When the whole trend of "irony has only one meaning" start? Every dictionary I've looked at includes something like "incongruity between the actual result of a sequence of events and the normal or expected result" (I've got an old Webster's New World from the 40's that gives the example "it was an irony of fate that the fireboat burned and sank, which is exactly the kind of thing that a certain type of person claims is "coincidence, not irony").

I don't understand this. If 0.8 fixed the bug that 0.7 contains, shouldn't encourage everyone to upgrade instead of downgrade? And it's fine that the longest blockchain is on 0.8; that is the latest version. If you're not patching your software, I am not so surprised that you're vulnerable (in this case to double-spending attacks).

A second thing that I don't understand is why 0.8 people are vulnerable to double-spending attacks. It wasn't said that 0.7 was safe, but it was said that 0.8 was vulnerable. But with two separate blockchains, wouldn't both be vulnerable? Or at least 0.7 because they don't accept 0.8's blockchain?

You must be kidding me. Try entering banking or insurance market, you'd quickly learn how "unrestricted" they are. Or, even simpler, try entering a job market without joining a union that controls that particular market in a particular place.

>>>> Doesn't have to be unregulated to be "real" capitalism.

The world "real" apparently has a very wide meaning for you. I guess everything that allows people to make transactions without asking written permission of the district market supervisor from the government in advance is "raw capitalism" for you. No amount of restrictive regulation, no amount of government involvement, no amount of market distortion will ever make it not raw.

As Wikipedia has an Alexa rank of 6, and is the most popular web site I know of that gives an occasional survey of its server logs, I tend to look at it for information on web clients. Like their October 2012 report
( http://stats.wikimedia.org/wikimedia/squids/SquidReportOpera... )

For Linux client systems that use Wikipedia, Linux kernels with Android dominate. There's about 7 Android clients for every 1 Ubuntu client. There's about 45 Ubuntu clients for every Fedora and SuSE client. There's 2 Fedora users for every Debian user. And so on - less used Linux clients are listed on the report as well.

Netcraft used to have a decent survey of which web servers were running Linux, but I don't see any recent reports from them on that. With the rise of EC2 and PAAS/IAAS I would guess the Amazon Linux AMI would be one of the new VPSs/instances/"servers" that is around more nowadays.

Paine's 10% tax rate would be welcomed by even the most ardent Tea Partier.
Aiming to get only 1% of a market to me means you ether don't have huge faith in your product.

You forget the question of time. Maybe the product is good enough to get 100% eventually. But maybe you'll go bust in the meantime if you have a ridiculous burn rate. "Aiming" for 1% means making your burn rate sustainable on 1% so can live to fight for the 100%. Microsoft wasn't built in a day.

It often de-emphasizes why people would choose your product

No because that's covered in another part of your pitch, which deals with your product characteristics. The 1% part of your pitch deals with your strategy.

By the way, you are not supposed to have faith in your product, you are supposed to have a willingness to deliver whatever product the customer wants. That's what pivots are for. Business is supposed to be a rational process, not based on faith.
If they pushed for people upgrading to 0.8 then everyone not upgrading would have their own blockchain. By getting more than 50% of the users to use 0.7, the rest of the 0.8 clients will discover that everyone else uses the 0.7 chain and thus replay all of the transactions on that chain.

Upgrading: Those who doesn't upgrade end up with their own chain.

Downgrading: Those who doesn't downgrade will automatically use the other chain when it becomes dominant.

> But with two separate blockchains, wouldn't both be vulnerable?

It's only the chain that doesn't become the main chain that is vulnerable. Because they're pushing for 0.7 to be the main chain you don't have to worry about double spending there.
Ask HN: Recommend me an intermediate Django tutorial
Hi HackerNewsers

I've worked through the tutorial on the Django website and I'm looking for something more of an intermediate level. I'm a confident developer, and use rails and asp.net mvc regularly so I'm really looking for something a bit more challenging that the simplest "get started" tutorial. I'm thinking something along the lines of Rails in Action complexity - you know a backend with some actual complex relationships and permissions.

Is there anything like that out there in the Django space?

I know "go build something of your own" is a common answer to this, but really, I would prefer, for various reasons, to play around with a tutorial in this instance.

Thanks

>>>> Almost everything you listed can be bought for under $1000 total and others rented for very little cost. That does not mean they're sharing the wealth.

Of course it does. What would be the point of having $1000 if you can buy nothing for it? And if everything costed $0.0001, wouldn't somebody with $1000 be rich? Wealth is how much stuff you can buy (stuff meaning not only physical goods, of course, but other things you want too). If you can buy more stuff - you're more wealthy. If things got cheaper - you become more wealthy even if amount of money didn't change.

>>>> Anyone on minimum wage can theoretically do that.

Practically, they'd just get an Obamaphone "for free" (paid by taxpayers, of course), but that's besides the point.

>>>> but I would hardly define that as sharing the wealth.

That's because what you mean doesn't seem to be sharing the wealth, it seems to be envy. If you get a lot, but the neighbor gets more, you're envious - why he has more and you don't? Probably because he's not sharing! If you stop looking at Joneses and look at each person as he/she is, you'd see the wealth is being constantly shared.

>>>> I would define sharing the wealth as not having to declare bankruptcy when your kid has cancer.

This has nothing to do with sharing the wealth. This has everything to do with parents not having adequate insurance. That's what insurance is for.

>>>> I don't see how adding a $300 TV or air conditioning to this mix would make one feel like they're sharing the wealth.

What you mean by "sharing the wealth" is "I don't want anything bad happen to me and don't want to ever have money trouble or suffer consequences of either my poor foresight or unexpected circumstances, because there are people around who don't". Sorry, this has nothing to do with sharing the wealth, and the bad news are - nothing can do that for you. Shit happens, and nobody can be fully guaranteed from it. You can, however, be reasonably prepared and reasonably cautious - such as not buying a house on the peak of the bubble, but renting for 3-4 years and then buying when the bubble pops and Joneses have to sell because they can make barely 50% in rent. For each one of those there's one of those who rents for 50% of the mortgage. That's who you want to be, not the other guy :)
Would love to see an live example - seems too good to be true.
Yup, all on its way. Right now I'm just hoping to get a few responses to the linked survey so I know what front-ends to concentrate on.
Whilst not controversial, I think a point that needs to be made. A lot of people have their sole focus/goal on raising money. They then raise money and their next sole focus/goal is raising more money.

I think more people need to realise it's an option and a choice, not a required stepping stone.
I think we're in full agreement on this one. For example, I'm American living in London, with a graphic designer from Russia living in Liverpool and a developer from Belgium living in Spain. In no way have our backgrounds shaped or reduced my risk of building that team...they are just simply good at what they do, so we work together.

I've worked with more than a few terrible developers who have exemplary-looking college and startup pedigrees.

My point is that on a macro scale it does reduce risk. Otherwise these ambitious 22 year olds making $120k+ wouldn't exist...
Is there something along these lines but in open source? I have been dreaming of having natural language querying combined with Freebase or such, and with computational in addition to pure data endpoints, to build a kind of open source Wolfram Alpha.

Also interested to know the model - is this a SaaS? if so perhaps some pricing info would be useful, or how it interfaces with your data, security considerations etc.
And yes, I was sarcastic and I meant the topicstarting post which exhibits classic liberal cliche of "why don't we just take all the wealth and redistribute it and everybody would have enough money". If the author is under 20, it's completely excusable, he just needs to do some reading and thinking, but if it's not - it's a problem. Unfortunately, quite a common one.
I am at the moment evaluating various browser components for headless browsing and based on my own brief tests, the two best ones seem to be Chromium Embedded and QtWebKit (I would prefer to have C/C++ solution, so PhantomJS and alike are unfortunately out of question).

Does anyone have any experience / is Chromium Embedded any better than using the WebKit component that is part of Qt 5.0 (QtWebKit)? Both seem to use same JavaScript engine (V8) and it seems that using QtWebKit in headless browser scenarios in Linux environment seems to be a bit easier, but I'm kind of wondering why there seems to be more buzz around CE than QTWK. On obvious reason of course is that using QTWK in app "forces" you to use Qt in other parts of the app that can be a good / bad thing depending on the details.

That should be coming soon - our first product may well be a bespoke implementation for something like Magento as a demo, but the big game is letting anyone with structured data integrate. I'll be absolutely clear - some people's data is going to be difficult to work intelligently with, and in those cases we'll shift much more of the burden to the integrator. The sweet spot is obviously people with fairly clean data models - if you've got a standard Ruby on Rails app using Active Record, for example, your data is pretty friendly.

What exactly is your criticism? Does that procedure sound too complicated to you?
Yes, thank you, I made some stupid mistakes there.

I find the last one slightly clearer if you change the argument order:

DNimpliesLEM : ((x:Type) -> DN x) -> ((y:Type) -> LEM y)
DNimpliesLEM dn y = dn (LEM y) (notnotLEMproof y)

Although with the original formulation you could prove the slightly stronger version:

DNimpliesLEM : (x:Type) -> DN (LEM x) -> LEM x
DNimpliesLEM x dn = dn (notnotLEMproof x)

so that you don't need DN z to be true for all z, but just on the z you need (i.e. z = LEM x). It was an interesting exercise, and I learned a lot. First I tried proving (((x:Type) -> LEM x) -> _|_ ->) _|_ to then apply double negation directly to this, but this is actually not possible (as far as I can see). The double negation needs to be inside the quantifier.

Maybe you can even write it simply like this with implicit parameters:

DNimpliesLEM : DN (LEM x) -> LEM x
DNimpliesLEM dn = dn notnotLEMproof

You have to be able to produce the product or deliver the service at a lower cost than people are willing to pay for it. Demand is just one factor that affects how much they are willing to pay. The most basic example is an investment in an invention that saves people time and money, so people are willing to pay a portion of the time and money they are saving. Demand is then influenced by various things, including how important or significant this saving is, and how many other options they have to achieve similar savings, including alternatives from competitors. A good investor would be someone who understands and consider all these factors.

IMO, whiteboarding is only a part of the interview process. Probe their breadth and depth of knowledge relevant to the expertise you seek (for instance, if you were seeking an expert in databases, ask about pros and cons of various data stores, search, RESTful access, scaling), look at community (online/offline) presence (Github, HN, LinkedIn connections, Tweets, Klout, Meetups, etc.), agility (since you're probably a startup - simple stuff like how fast they type or how efficient they're with the keyboard and mouse together), etc.

Most of all, if you don't feel that they're smarter than you, they're probably not right...
