Slightly off-topic: what's a good way to handle cases such as this where you have a wildcard certificate?

I'll be getting a wildcard certificate for a project and, never having used one before, I had assumed the certificate would be valid for an entire domain.

I understand from this situation that a wildcard certificate is relevant only to https://*.example.com and not the subdomainless https://example.com.

Assuming that to be the case, is having a wildcard certificate for *.example.com and a second certificate for example.com the solution? It'd be nice to have the entire domain covered by a wildcard certificate and not just all subdomains.
We were experiencing a similar issue with a third party analytics solution where their SSL cert all of the sudden started to be delivered by Akamai as opposed to the FQDN of the company, as it was before. I am curious if Akamai is at fault here?

I thought, this is how Reddit works...
But doesn't the "no expectation of privacy in public places" dictum mean something fundamentally different in a world where many people wear always-on digital video recording devices vs. a world where some small minority of people carry analog chemical-based cameras--i.e. the world from which the "no expectation of privacy" concept emerged?

Might we need a different standard?
Maybe he meant https://stackoverflow.com/ ?

Well ... It's definitely a DDOS but you're right about the attack part.
No, this happened. A purported classmate of Sunil's had tweeted about the resemblance to Suspect #2 about 14 hours ago:

> @christiiinaaaxo @jaredleesmith @thejman218 Looks just like a kid from my area that went missing exactly a month and has yet to be found.

> I mean maybe it's a total coincidence but I'm more than a little freaked out by the resemblance. #Boston pic.twitter.com/Qsd6rj5v5l

At some point, the Internet ran with her speculation:

> It makes me sad that people are going to the Tripathi family Facebook page and writing nasty things. That was never my intention

And at around 4-5 am, the Boston police scanners said they were looking for Sunil. I remember this because I fell asleep at 5am thinking that this bizarre story involved Sunil and then woke up at 8 learning that two completely different suspects had been identified. From the twitterer:

> So if what I'm hearing is correct, at 3 AM when the police scanners said they had their suspect and it was Sunil, I was wrong.

The tweeter's account is now protected but she hasn't deleted her tweets. I think everyone, including her, has learned a little about making well-intentioned speculation on the Internet. But apparently, even the Boston police had been fooled (at least someone in the BPD was, which is why police scanners should not be taken as gospel)
The extremely widespread use of CPython over PyPy suggests that most users feel differently.

You can currently buy an HD resolution camera that is approximately the size of a shirt button for a trivial amount of money (~$50-$60). If you are worried about people recording you with a $1,500 piece of hardware worn "covertly" on their face, I think your concerns are misplaced.

B2G (ie FirefoxOS) has the same problem as Android as in they both have completely unique weird userland that has very little to do with your "normal" Linux userland, or anything else for that matter. I'm not really sure about Ubuntu phone OS, maybe it will have userland closer to their desktop variant. But on the other hand that won't help all that much as even Ubuntu desktop is veering away from what I'd consider the "standard" Linux distro.

Some people just would prefer having desktop-like OS on their phones with some mobile oriented apps, and that's what Maemo/N900 almost delivered. If Sailfish is anywhere close to that experience then I'll be a happy hacker. Admittedly commercial (mainstream) success probably requires bit more, but on the other hand I know non-linuxy people who were/are quite satisfied with their N9/N900.
Agree with what you said. But please don't make it sound like an axis with two extremes

Absolutely, those are caricatures which would not fully apply to any person or any role - real successful companies probably have a balance of different types in them across a broad spectrum of attitudes to work, profit versus excellence, etc....

I don't know a lot of people who want to play office politics, so I don't really see how "politics is your real job" would actually help. It just transforms it from "politics gets in the way of my job" to "my job isn't what it should be, nor what I want".

Not all that off-topic. For your example, you should get a certificate made out to ("Subject CN") example.com or * .example.com, then list both the wildcard and the subdomainless entry as Subject Alternative Names.

Bing is doing something similar (see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5576271), but they appear to have forgotten to list the plain domain.

Status quo is already actively moving in a direction of less privacy expectation in public spaces, for example can you be sure that person in front of you is writing a sms message on his phone and not recording you? You can try to fight it, but I can't see how it can be done without inflicting more oppression, so my solution is to allow these new things to serve society instead of adding oppression and banning those things.

Typically a certificate issuer will grant you both when you buy a wildcard one.

What do you suppose we do?

For the long-term, here's the financial structure for the solution that I see: http://michaelochurch.wordpress.com/2013/03/26/gervais-macle... . Essentially, I think VC-istan and MegaCorps are both dead ends when it comes to genuine technical excellence (which weird people like us care about). I think it's time to have a serious conversation about financing a fleet of mid-growth K-strategist startups instead of these red-ocean, r-strategist, get-big-or-die marketing gambits.

Here's an insane thought that I had that just might work. Find a Midwestern city that has $25 million to blow on becoming a top technology hub and set up an Autonomy Fund. (I'll do the "grunt work" of screening for talent; if this idea has legs I'd drop everything to implement it.) 100 top-notch programmers, $125k per year (out of which their resource/AWS costs come, so no one's living high on the hog), and 2 years. First, these companies are designed to become profitable, not to exit, so compensation is profit-sharing, not the joke equity offered by VC-istan. The city that funds this takes a 37.5% profit-share of whatever they build (it's valuating their work at $333k per year, which is lower than a VC valuation, but the terms are better.) If it works, then add time to the schedule (i.e. more years of life and more startups) and possibly more engineers. This is like Y Combinator, but without the feeder-into-VC dynamic; it's to build real businesses that generating lasting value both to a geographical area and to technology itself.

I seriously think that Autonomy Funds are going to be big in the next 10 years-- VC-istan is essentially a shitty implementation of an Autonomy Fund, except with selection based on connections rather than technical ability-- but there are some obvious problems (moral hazard, principal-agent issues) that need to be solved.

From the sample on the front page

SELECT "c"."id"
FROM "Customer" "c"
LEFT JOIN "Order" "order-1"
ON "c"."id" = "order-1"."customer"
GROUP BY "c"."id"
HAVING coalesce(SUM("order-1"."total_price"), 0) > 1000

is translated into

select(c for c in Customer
if sum(c.orders.price) > 1000)

How does the python version handle nulls? They are explicitly coalesced into 0s in SQL. In python sum([1,numpy.NaN]) evaluates to nan. I think this code will do something wrong.

I am not sure what flavor of SQL is beind used, but why are the table names and the field names surrounded by double quotes? They make the query look unnecesierily hairy.

Good job otherwise. Always glad to see people contributing to the community.

I'm too much of a layperson in statistics and economics to tell, at this early in the morning without coffee, how much of this is eloquent backtracking BS:

> So do where does this leave matters on debt and growth? Do Herndon et al. get dramatically different results on the relatively short post war sample they focus on? Not really. They, too, find lower growth associated with periods when debt is over 90% (they find 0-30 debt/GDP , 4.2% growth; 30-60, 3.1 %; 60-90, 3.2%,; over 90, 2.2%. Put differently, growth at high debt levels is a little more than half of the growth rate at the lowest levels of debt. They ignore the fact that these results are close to what we get in our Table 1 of our AER paper they critique, and not far from the median results in Figure 2 despite its coding error. And they are not very different from what we report in our 2012 Journal of Economic Perspectives paper with Vincent Reinhart—where the average is 2.4% for high debt versus 3.5% for below 90%
> During the transition, some debt accumulation would be tolerable. Levels up to 120% were, prior to Reinhardt Rogoff considered acceptable.

I may be rusty on my Keynesian Economics professor's lessons, but shouldn't you reduce government deficits in expansion times, so that you can safely let the stabilizers kick in if you enter a recession?

> As such, the view that the timing of the financial crisis was particularly unfortunate for Portugal is, in my view, entirely correct.

Of course it was unfortunate, because the country (both public and private sector) were incredibly leveraged. Which is completely different than saying that it was the cause.

Pleases note that the banking system is Portugal didn't suffer as much as the Spanish or Irish, e.g. In fact, the banks that were nationalized in Portugal were the result of deliberate fraud (Ponzi-like schemes), not just irresponsible behavior.

EDIT: btw, here's Portuguese per capita GDP in constant terms between 2000 and 2007 to dispel the success argument - http://www.google.com/publicdata/explore?ds=d5bncppjof8f9_&#...
Most people as a rule don't go out wearing covert survelliance cameras. Wearing one would be considered pretty anti-social and creepy.

The killer with glass is that it is a survelliance device under the guise of an innocent device.
Which no politician is going to vote for because it curtails their ability to be re-elected.
while I was quite shocked by the witch-hunt and amount of 'suspicious until proven innocent' I saw in that subreddit, in fairness to reddit as a whole that is one small subreddit among thousands.

Also, some of the highest upvoted threads and comments appear to be warning others of the potential negative consequences of their publicly pointing out everyone with a backpack or different coloured skin.
Except that this is about legal issues, since the complaints ignore simple technical solutions like wearing a mask. It is no different than demanding laws to protect the privacy of your email because you are unwilling to use cryptography.

As for expectations, nobody in any society where Glass is useful can claim to have an expectation of not being photographed in public. Google Glass relies on the availability of Internet access, which basically means a society where cell phones are common, and by extension cameras. People use cell phone cameras in a casual, carefree manner in public and private; Google Glass is no different.

This doesn't consider rarity and usefulness. Oil is a lot more useful than hydrogen. As oil becomes rare it will be worth more though it still has the same amount of energy (specific gravity).
The point of cryptocurrencies is not to "back" the currency with cryptography (or energy) as an intrinsic value, it is to prevent double-spending for a decentralized currency. Cryptocomputations and the energy they consume have nothing to do with value, they're just an enabler of this decentralisation.
The view against austerity was mainstream until very recently. Counter-cyclical spending was a bipartisan point of agreement from the 40s until the year 2009. You never heard anyone accuse each other of being "keynesian" or "hayekian", it was just econ 101 that counter-cyclical policy made sense.

Now that we're out of the woods on the economy, we should in fact be trying fix the debt problem -- but without hurting the economy too much in the process. Shrinking the deficit while shrinking GDP doesn't really do much for you.
Why employers don't hire the long term unemployed: a theory
Yes they say it, but the opposing party opposes it. The Democrats most certainly do not wish to run the government as business but as more of a piggy bank that someone else fills each night. Therefore, even if the Republicans wanted to do such a thing they likely cannot.

But, as you say, they haven't been very serious about such an idea for quite a while.
Nice idea. As a current PhD student I'm having fun filling in the gaps for those who have come before me.

Can you present some links for people in the database who have large academic trees? Everyone I'm searching for ends up being isolated so I don't know what a tree looks like on your website!
I think we'll get a lot less from the open source community if they think they have to support all legacy crap for all time. Eventually there comes a time to move on.

We're just arguing about if its time yet. People can still keep using IE 6/7 for the shitty inhouse apps written for it by their company a decade ago, and use a damn modern browser for everything else.
Although the use case is probably a bit different, if you ever just need to scan something quickly (and with pretty good quality for documents and such) there are various smartphone apps which do this sort of thing. I use JotNot [0] and absolutely love it. The UI of these things isn't perfect, but it's a lot easier than figuring out how whatever office scanner you've got works.

The interesting thing about using energy as a currency is that its inflation naturally tracks the real world: if everyone has double the currency (and it's backed by real energy), then people are richer in purely material terms as well, in much the way that we're richer on average than people were in 1950.

A major issue is that we don't have anything that's usefully dense in energy content to use as money (except nuclear fuels, I suppose, but I have a hard time seeing them in circulation with the current fear of nuclear power...).
Don't fight debt in a massive recession when borrowing costs are at record lows and unemployment is high.
Yay! This is a good sign. It indicates a lot of things: that the HUD style glasses have been deemed viable in a commercial sense, that availability of the technology will be better then what Google has shown previously (Nexus(es) I am looking at you) and even more importantly it will drive down costs on the screens and bone-induction drivers to allow even more entrance to the market. For the most part "clones" are a good sign and help the market grow by increasing potential market size and decreasing costs of components.

Was this in the past week? Because just a few days ago I was experiencing a similar problem. I attempted to access https://rememberthemilk.com and chrome complained about the SSL cert, as I was receiving the cert for their CDN and not for rememberthemilk itself. I couldn't find anyone that could reproduce the issue, but it occurred consistently on my computer regardless of browser. It resolved itself 20 min after I first noticed it, but I'm still really curious as to why it happened in the first place.
Couldn't you answer this question yourself by using the Internet? A combination of Google and other, more academic services might give you a list of papers, and by reading them, you might find datasets that are mentioned, but do not seem to be public. Then you could return to HN to ask a more specific question, or email Krugman yourself for the answers you seek. That should be fun, too.

In the case of economics it seems there might also be large conflicts of interest at play. The 2010 documentary, "Inside Job" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inside_Job_(film) about the economic crises talks about how several prominent academic economists are essentially paid to author studies that amount to not much more than puff pieces supporting a political view point of a political party or corporation.

On another note, given that the Fed has been "quantitatively easing" (seems to be a polite term for printing money) since the financial crisis and currently holds over 3 Trillion in government and mortgage debt those actions have to be keeping interest rates lower than they otherwise might be. It's kind of burying the lead to say interest rates are super low we should borrow a bunch of money when they are being intentionally kept that way through government action.

You're pretty lucky that you haven't had to know SQL to have good luck.

Having used Linq2SQL for a few years, I don't like this style of coding. Often, to optimize a query, we've had to look at the generated SQL and then reverse engineer it back to Linq to get the SQL that we wanted. While certain queries were really easy in Linq2SQL, the more complex ones were extremely difficult. I had to still understand and write the underlying SQL, then I had to figure out how to "translate" that into the Linq2SQL. In the long run, all time savings were nullified. I see the same with a DSL-type of wrapper like this.

Additionally, almost all good backend devs speak SQL, I can take a Java-person and without the Linq2SQL stuff, he could understand our backend, work on queries, etc. The Linq just added another layer of complexity for someone to think about.

(Granted, there's a database layer that we could truly put a lot of that stuff in, if our queries got really complex)
> higher dimensional fields like economics and finance

As I've gotten older, I've become -- through experience -- more cognizant of how this is the case also in medicine and other fields. And in many aspects of "hard science", as well.

There are a lot of people out there who want to believe certain things. Being a "scientist" doesn't seem -- in general, across the population of scientists -- to confer any great immunity to this.

On the one side, there are the "faith-ers". ("We just need the evidence. Or... I'll "extrapolate" to a conclusion.)

On the other side, the "deniers". (If it hasn't been explained/proven (in some cases, down to the level of quantum fluxuation), it can't possibly exist and I'm going to ignore any anecdote, supposition, or empirical evidence to the contrary.)

Both of these can drown out the actual, intelligence conversation around a topic. And they can grossly mis-inform a public that would be much better served by same.

If the public weren't so busy listening to the "extremists". Perhaps there is the rub.
How can people believe being ordered to stay inside so a door to door search can be conducted by machine gun toting SWAT teams is a good thing?
