There actually is an EC2 AMI available. I won't mention it here though. I'd rather like that you join us up on #preposterus on EFnet over ol' school IRC.

I'm using caution because we don't want to sink Posterous, since it's a very fragile beast, which we're blowing away the caches off of.

We're working on getting a FAQ section up on the project page. (http://www.archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Posterous)

- 1M bandwith with no traffic limit.
- Month by month, cancel any time with no penalties.
- No starting fee.

I just went back to check out TurnTable... and it looks like the "power-users" killed TurnTable. There is a link in the majority of the rooms like the below telling people what to play and what not to play. Freedom was the essential ingredient in TurnTable.

Rather inconclusive, though.
I'm assuming you are thinking of using Trello as a bug tracking app? We purposefully did not design Trello to be used that way, even though a lot of people do, so it might fall down when you go that route. It is not a replacement for a bug tracking application. There are plenty of those out there (FogBugz, Jira, Pivotal) and there are even kanban type programs like Trello for software development (AgileZen, LeanKit, Sprintly).

Trello is designed for a high level overview of a project. So if you start to get too many items on your board, either it's not the right tool for what you are trying to do, or you need to think more about what you are adding to Trello. For example, you could use Excel to take notes, or make a todo list, but it's not the right tool for that. Trello really shines when you are using it for group collaboration and either focusing on a high level (and leaving the details to something else) or only focusing on the very top level important details.

I know a lot of companies that use Trello in tandem with tracking apps. There's even a nice bookmarklet that integrates with a bunch of them (FogBugz, Jira, Github, Saleforce) so you can hit one button and turn your case into a card in Trello. See https://github.com/danlec/Trello-Bookmarklet But don't make the mistake of trying to duplicate what those programs do in Trello.
The problem is the client's headers, not the server's.
I'd say hard limit isn't the real criterion for rejecting the Intelligence Explosion hypothesis: there is a hard limit, but most likely well above human level: a human-made substrate could most certainly think way faster than evolution-made neurons, and the software could probably at least get rid of biases.

What really matters is whether intelligence is likely to explode or not. I think it would be really foolish to count on it not exploding, unless we're positive it won't. The stakes are too high.

As for MIRI (as it is called now) actually pulling it off, especially as they are now, I don't have high hopes either. However, they do look like the current best bet. And they do plan to grow (they need money). And maybe, maybe they will convince the other AI scientists to be wary of new powerful magic. For once. If not them, maybe the Future of Humanity Institute.
You can do that already, sorta. Play around with it and let me know if it's what you imagined or if there's anything we should add.
I wasn't suggesting that because TLS is as you say "creaky an scary looking" I'm going to go off and write something from scratch. I think a good job has been done of making developers fear writing their own cryptosystems.

What I'm wondering is if there's any serious effort out there that could in the near future replace TLS? Like the article was saying, NIST has promoted new crypto primitives, who can be trusted to create the next generation of crypto systems?
The VMware Player (and Workstation, I'm assuming) will import it automatically. The only issue is that you have to choose a different connection for the second virtual disk. Not sure why that's a problem but moving it works fine.

A meta-comment: I find it amazing that we are arguing whether Clojure or Haskell is better suited for real-world applications.

Discussions like this one convince me that we have advanced our programming techniques over the last decade or so. After all, we could be arguing about semicolons, the GOTO statement, or other similarly important issues.

It's a nice feeling.
Thanks for explaining. I did not know that only an inside joke is appropriate to the spirit of HN. OK.

You should really try the Trello app on an iPad. I think you'll find that it's a fundamentally different experience than a web app could ever offer.

Rendering of bottom right elements looks weird / overlaps in FF and IE for me on Windows 7. See: http://i.imgur.com/6RGKJta.jpg.

The Demise of Firefox? What say you?
If it really was that simple, mastering a new VCS would take 5 minutes. But it isn't.

If you need to branch, you also need to know how to merge. Then you'll need to know how to resolve conflicts. You probably need to know what branches are there and how to diff them. And since you know how to check in, it's just a matter of time before you'll need to know how to revert. That's just you alone - once you collaborate with someone else, you'll need to learn how to share code, push, pull, remote branches... There's a reason why your VCS has more than four commands.
The Potential of Stripe Acquiring Kickoff
Or just say "wifi password sync and share". I too had to think far too hard about the dropbox tagline, and the quip at the bottom about facebook. Came off far too tacky.

The idea though, instant classic, love it.

I just hope these things are features:

- I can easily see when a friend is trying to connect to my network and can grant access.

- I have to re-grant access after a password change. (no other way around the revoking access issue I can see)

Edit: Yes I have read their FAQ/Security section, I think it is incredibly stupid of them to act this way. I can see apps being built to show the password easily, I don't see why they think it will always require root (and that root is uncommon / hard to do), or why they think anyone gives a fuck about their ToS, or the "law" maybe its illegal for them to access data on their own phone in their country - others it is not.

The biggest concern I have on this issue that they are making people feel safer than they really are, people re-use passwords everywhere, friends are more than likely going to be the ones to check to see if your wifi password matches your facebook (and I'm more worried about that than some random war driver.)

Android Owners Aren't Real Smartphone Owners
this is incredibly stupid
This seems like an excellent solution.

edit: I've just noticed that this is something someone with no experience in crypto would say. Sometimes things actually get worse with randomization, for example when there is a flaw that will always allow bytes 160 and 161 to be revealed. If the position of the cookie is randomized it will fully be revealed instead of possibly just two bytes. Before actually implementing this someone with a few crypto publications should take a look at it ;)

Outside of that I think I have scanned a QR code exactly one time - it was on a menu in a restaurant and scanning the code brought up coupons.

Love this app, and it's wonderfully to finally have it on the iPad. I think they did some really smart things with the UI, for instance, being able to adjust the space used for comments/description, the navigation at the top of the card, etc. They really put a lot of thought into it.

However, two things that bothered me as a heavy Trello user:

1) I could not figure out how to move a card from one board to another. Just does not seem to be possible (yet)?

2) The drop-down in the upper right corner of a card is where I expected the close button to be, as it is for the web app. I keep tapping it over and over, expecting the card to close, but instead it shows a drop-down menu with one option: "archive"! This feels like a big UI mistake to me.

Other than that, a fantastic first release. I can't wait to walk around the office tomorrow with my iPad, tending to projects, instead of always popping open my laptop!
I've never scanned one other than out of curiosity the first time or two that I saw one. I wasn't the target demo to be scanning them, I just wanted to know that it worked I guess. I've never scanned one otherwise despite it being "so convenient" to do so. I see very little value in QR codes and expect them to be gone soon. I think they've been on their way out since they were first thought of.

"I made an offer to continue to host posterous.com and all the stuff on it but never received an answer."

Hey, thanks for the reply! I'll check out the S15.
Yep, I totally agree about the term Mail Merge being pretty unknown so I'll get some feedback from friends on what it could possibly be changed to.

I'll be trying direct marketing first to the businesses that already do mail merges so if that fails I'll fall back on search hits and make it more new user friendly.

I think for an enterprise, the D part of DVCS isn't much of a selling point. What is a good selling point is all of the other stuff that makes Git/HG awesome, like easy branching and merging. There's also Github Enterprise, which if you can pay for it is really fantastic.

Google Acquires University of Toronto Research Startup DNNresearch
Browsers are going to rely on a secure transport that features a directory-style PKI and session resumption for the foreseeable future --- CA's aren't going anywhere, and handling millions of inbound connections is going to be a requirement.

As long as we need a directory-based PKI and a session feature, what complexity can we really cut out of TLS? The record layer is sane and simple; it's more than HTTPS needs, but isn't hard to implement. The handshake is complicated, but it's complicated because it addresses 15+ years of downgrade attacks.

After thinking about that, ask, what's the real benefit of having two (really three, including SSH) mainstream encrypted transports? No matter what happens in any other protocol, a vulnerability in the transport used by browsers is going to be a hair-on-fire emergency. So why not just have everyone use the transport the browser uses?

The last point I'd make is, it's 2013. SSL 3.0 goes back to, what, 1996? The vulnerabilities we're finding in SSL are protocol flaws, and they've taken more than a decade to surface. Who feels better about new protocols?
One of the best things about sections is the ability they give you to 'finish' a newspaper. That doesn't mean read every article - it means the ability to pick it up, look through it, and decide when you've seen enough to be done with it.

I hate the feeling of tumbling down a rabbit hole that most online news gives me. I miss the feeling of satisfaction I used to get from leafing through the Times section by section. I'm hopeful this redesign will bring back some of the best bits of the experience afforded by dead trees.

A successful double spend with Bitcoin
If you can modify the browser, modify it to use a ciphersuite that doesn't have these problems!

As a shorthand: workarounds are only fair game if they don't require software updates by Microsoft or Mozilla. So, for instance, having Rails treat session tokens as one-time-use does mitigate this flaw (somewhat) and is fair game. But having Firefox randomize client headers is not useful, compared to getting Firefox to reliably do AES-GCM (which I think Firefox may be close to doing already).
While the name is confusing, the concept is pretty awesome.

maccman — is not ANOVA the superior comparison?
I strongly agree. I was struck by the mention that in the 60s 2/3rds of research projects were funded, whereas nowadays only 1/5th are. This is not just due to stinginess; there are more research labs chasing funding and grant applications have become professionalized, if not commercialized. Maybe this is also a function of more people pursuing academic success as a career path, because the rise of IT has resulted in a significant devaluation of labor-intensive work and thus the earning power of people engaged in it.

As for the product, there are a couple of things that aren't clear; do you actually end up connecting directly to your friends' wifi, or are you routed through their phone? IE can I turn my phone's wifi off and they are still able to access my network? It also comes across that my friends' friends will automatically get access to my network.. don't like that. I imagine it's probably configurable, but that's not made clear.

And if it breaks connections to servers set up to use RC4 specifically?

Sure, the browser should stop "suggesting" they use RC4. That is the browser's right. But if the server decides to use it anyway then they use it.

Also you kind of break your own rule. If we cannot suggest things which Microsoft or Mozilla have to do then we cannot suggest they alter their ciphersuite either...
I would say that depression is like alcoholism: You never stop being an alcoholic, but you can stop drinking. Even a dry alcoholic has troubles with alcohol, and may need to struggle with that, even though they are successful in containing their affliction.

Similarly, some people will always be susceptible to depression (I coin the term "depressives"). But, like an alcoholic can learn how to stop themselves from drinking, a depressive can learn how to prevent themselves from sinking into an actual episode of depression. There is always an underlying condition that never goes away: in alcoholism it's a compulsion, while in depression it's... something else. But the struggle to contain that condition goes from being a lost battle, to occasional temporary victories, to a day-to-day thing, until eventually it's just a thing.

So, you can't beat depression in the sense of winning a final victory and then it's gone forever. A depressive will always be a depressive, even when not in the middle of an episode of depression (and there's more to that than just sometimes becoming depressed--and not all of it is bad!). But, it can be possible to manage it to the point where it is effectively and indefinitely contained.

He said, "Christian." I said, "Me too! Are you catholic or protestant?" He said, "Protestant." I said, "Me too! Are you episcopalian or baptist?" He said, "Baptist!" I said,"Wow! Me too! Are you baptist church of god or baptist church of the lord?" He said, "Baptist church of god!" I said, "Me too! Are you original baptist church of god, or are you reformed baptist church of god?" He said,"Reformed Baptist church of god!" I said, "Me too! Are you reformed baptist church of god, reformation of 1879, or reformed baptist church of god, reformation of 1915?" He said, "Reformed baptist church of god, reformation of 1915!" I said, "Die, heretic scum", and pushed him off.

Developer here. Thanks! Moving cards between boards is coming in a later release; it's not yet possible. As for closing the card, if you're in landscape mode you can tap the faded out background -- bit of a larger hit target. We'll be making it less annoying to close cards in portrait mode soon too.
I didn't think it was necessarily harmful to the discussion, but it wasn't as constructive as other posts in the thread.

Short answer: yes.

Long answer, think of it like an addict. They always called themselves 'recovering' because they know it only takes a single slip to set you back. Same with Depression. You can be fine for years, become lax in your coping mechanisms and handlers and something small happens that sets off a chain reaction where you are reaching for things you wouldn't normally reach for.

One innocent comments or look or phrase that slips past your carefully built safeguards is all it can take sometimes.
