1. A server could silently insert code that replaces your keys with a well known one. Don't kid yourself into thinking anyone would notice this if it was silently tucked away in the minified angular or SJCL code.

2. Your definition of obfuscated and mine clearly differ. I'll be more direct: where's the (well-commented, clearly coded) model/controller code?

For me, the biggest reason for paying for managed services like Heroku etc. is avoiding that risk. This sort of thing would make me far happier to ship some of the load back onto Linode. Can't fault their hardware. :)

Reminds me a lot of what Clusty was trying to do, if anyone remembers that site.

Not sure I'm sold on the design, it's a bit flashy/sluggish and there's definitely some bugs that need polishing - for instance, if you use the scrollbar on the right stuff will get pushed up or down off the screen a bit requiring you to scroll to reposition everything after you click one of the tabs. Also there's a boxy feel which de-prioritizes the actual search results, which isn't helped by the "more/less" arrows that float over the text whenever the mouse is nearby.

I like the idea of Blekko, but this feels like a step trying to be more accessible while making the product less robust.

Well, the thing is that the better the product gets, the bigger chance there is that any new incremental change to the parts that work good (as opposed to adding new features) will screw them up. GMail has been excellent for years, so it's understandable people get worried about such changes.

I'm a little but confused by the nature of how further research/experimentation will proceed. Namely why the rights to clone were sold after the discovery.

Presumably, given how radical this discovery is, the opportunity to clone an extinct species would be given to the most capable scientific institution on the planet, not for the highest bidder... Maybe the South Koreans qualify as the most capable, I don't really know. Or perhaps my vision of the international science community is just naive.
How is Chile on personal firearms ownership? It seems silly to set down roots on the basis of personal freedom without being able to defend oneself.
This is a discussion that has been going on for decades. An author is not obligated to do "My Subject 101" at the beginning of every article. You would never complain that somebody writing in a science journal didn't explain what these "atom" things are at the beginning.

Most companies are willing to negotiate, especially when you have a counter-offer. So in general, it is good advice. Most companies do not have the attitude of "I don't care how much money you would make at an other company, because you want to join our company" because they know that most people value some combination of enjoying their work, and how much they get paid, not just one or the other.

>The first part is very personal. People having mortgage and two kids just overvalue themselves. Immigrants in US (and I guess everywhere) just don't need as much money as they don't see the neighbour's grass.
Can you explain what you are saying here? Are you saying that only immigrants are willing to take the offers you make, or that you make higher offers to people who overvalue themselves?

You're implicitly applying different threat models to browser-downloaded vs. alternatively downloaded code.

If the maintainer of JS code make a mistake and fixes it in future versions, there's no need to worry about it anymore either. However, every time I upgrade I'm just as much at risk from someone attacking either my connection or having attacked the server. So to believe it's more secure, you have to believe those things are easier to do in the context of a web application.
Do source maps also support tracing values in variables, or do they only map line numbers in source to line numbers in output? Because the former (mapping values) is the hard part of implementing a debugger.
Did you hear about b612 foundation? they also want to discover NEOs with a space telescope, and they don't want to do it for business purposes. last time I've checked they said it's going to cost about $450m to do it. There is no chance that PR will be able to do it much cheaper. They may be able to launch their toy and snap some pictures but I don't think they will be able to do much more with it.
I star them instead. It's one click/keypress and they don't unstar themselves next time I open them (accidentally or not).

Game theory doesn't support "pay what you want" really well, e.g. there's no market to somehow arbitrate the price.

A true market could be created by enabling people to buy and sell the service, or perhaps by bidding. This doesn't work unless the supply of the service is artificially restricted (otherwise the price goes to near zero immediately). Of course, some argue that the "true price" of intellectual property is very close to zero, but the app in the article can be thought of as a service.

There are some rebuttals by Peter Bender (his abstract for the 2013 April APS meeting may point in useful directions). For the space-based experiment, barring concerns about the technique itself, the right question may be, "Even if the atom interferometer might work, is it a better bet than the existing plans for LISA?"

I haven't studied the atom interferometer GW stuff in great detail, but the measurements look challenging from a feasibility and systematic perspective. Any one objection can be addressed, but there are a lot of them, making it challenging in the aggregate. Continued work on the ground in the atom interferometer field over longer baselines will explore both. If that work can show that it works as proposed, then pessimism will turn to optimism; experiment is the arbiter of truth.

As for the second point, regarding clocks, my initial response of "no" came from exactly your argument. I hesitated when considering a global array of clocks. For wavelengths comparable to the size of Earth and smaller, there's enough phase difference that perhaps a sufficiently precise clock, read out sufficiently fast, might pick off a signal. Additionally, if there are signals in the micro-to-nanohertz regimes, it might appear as an unexplained fit residual to an overall model of the gravitational potential at any one clock. My GR-fu is insufficient to make reliable estimates of the sizes of these effects (I bet they're small!).

I'm worried that they are doing any sort of crowd-funding.

The biggest risk of Planetary Resources is that it turns out to be a scam, either accidentally or on purpose.[1]

I think PR could have amazing results for humanity even if the company itself doesn't work out well, so I don't want to sound too negative here.

[1] An accidental scam, in my words, would be something that would never ever work, but they didn't worry too much about it because they were spending someone else's money.
Actually that’s Closure the Javascript compiler. There’s nothing special that has to do with source maps in Closure Library, because it’s regular JS.
I don't understand where you think the attack surface is, and thus can't address the problem you think exists. So unfortunately the best I can do is describe the thing again, using different words. Sorry.

The posited malware can't initiate an automatic transaction, since an OTP from the bank dongle is needed. The dongle needs to be seeded with a specific part of the receiver's account number, so just any OTP generated by the dongle won't do. The account number has been passed out of band (generally on a paper invoice), so taking control of my browser doesn't give the attacker a way of fooling me into generating an OTP suitable for use with their account either.

While my occasional experiences with their support team have been fantastic, this is being offered by the same people who had a CF vuln exploited in their management software and, it seems, would not have bothered to share any details with their customers if the perpetrators hadn't gotten on IRC to brag.

Their documentation in the Linode Library is also really great -- as a starting point. Assuming that they're using the same guides in recommending server configuration, there are some things that could be done better by a skilled admin. e.g., their LAMP server guide for Debian 6 doesn't include suexec or any variation of FastCGI, two must-haves for a public-facing web server IMO.

I don't know about this new Gmail inbox, but what I do know is that Gmail seems to be getting progressive worse with every iteration. Has anyone seen what they've done to Google Talk and Gmail? Basically, every chat message is now saved in Gmail as a sent message. It's so bad now that my entire Sent folder is cluttered and unusable. I had to resort to Conversations view, which I utterly despise, to make things more readable again.

I have a feeling this new Inbox is going to be another iteration of fail.

Hi sharemywin,

This is not an app you could simply stick in the app store and expect people to come. We are planning for a more organic bottom-up approach where we focus on getting all the barbers on board say in one city and offering incentives for barbers and customers to refer others. For example, if a customer refers 3 new clients, he gets a free cut.

2. Scheduling is not new. Our benefit is more of an all inclusive service that not only offers scheduling but a service specifically focused on barbers and clients and thus includes more than just scheduling most importantly a web presence (most barbers idea of high-tech is a facebook page with pics). Note: i have not checked out hte link but will read through after work.

3. I agree this may not be the largest niche, but consider two factors:

1. limited competition can lead to domination. it's a fact that as a minority myself the general sense is that we "consume" technology built by others but not vice versa.

2. May be the potential to expand to other verticals (tattoo artists, massage therapists, salons, etc.)

I rather pivot early with feedback such as this than wait til I spent all my $$$ :)

Thanks again.
Wade, so sorry to hear about your dad and the events affecting the other members of your team.

But thank you for this post. I think so many people swimming around the fishbowl forget about the actual life that's happening, both on the inside and the outside.

And while I agree with MichaelMartin that hunting down the most severe scenarios that could happen in the coming years isn't the way to go, I think it's important to understand that shit will happen in the coming years, and we're fools if we think that because we're working on a startup, everything else in life will just work out.
...This feels more like OpenID rather than OAuth. Could someone explain? I'm so confused.
Ostensibly most--universities aren't trade schools, remember, and you're supposed to walk away with a general knowledge of everything. Every student, from CS to literature to biology, should walk away from university knowing how to do simple programming, read Shakespeare, and describe in broad strokes how DNA replication works.

The fact that most don't is a sign that most USA universities, even those supposedly at the top, are giving a watered down curriculum that's taken as a cover for credentialing and partying and not real education.
Interview with Peter Diamandis on campaign for public ARKYD space telescope
I agree it's easy to have a knee-jerk reaction, but we also have to consider the fact that people who don't like something are much more likely to speak out than people who are neutral or positive. Take into consideration how every major Facebook change has been met with a seemingly loud "boycott Facebook" petition.. on Facebook. We can't really over-police these things.
Agreed. But I for one, can't stand it. I don't like composing emails on top of other things in the background. I find it jarring. For similar reasons, I also don't like the reply mode where you are editing within a conversation.

I guess I like viewing messages in the context of a conversation, but not composing them that way. I just wish that I had the option of composing things separately.

C'est la vie.

You use parentheses only for grouping. So

f a b (g x y)

is how you would write your example. In Elm, you could also use the function application operator to avoid writing the parentheses:

f a b <| g x y -- EDIT: flipped the operator around

In Haskell, this would be done with $, which used to exist in Elm as well:

f a b $ g x y

Once you get used to mentally parsing the $ as grouping the rest of the expression together--admittedly, it does take a little while--the last version is probably the most readable. At least that's what I've found.
For improving the survey:

I don't have the sources (a few hundred papers / articles) anymore, rather this was for my own research in designing surveys for companies garnering feedback from IT Director (mostly) levels.

For buy-in, Saliency of Questions and Subject Matter is key to engagement (finishing the survey).

Assume that respondents will fade towards the end of the survey. Your most important bits of information that you want to get from respondents should be towards the beginning after a few "warm up" questions, so you get the data you want without the drop-off.

Assume each question that is not open ended is ~ 1 minute:1 question. This will help you determine length. Most engagement drops off ~10-15 minutes. These questions INCLUDE Name, email, etc. (also, you may want to drop the name req., as other commenters are pointing out).

Surveys of 20 minutes can be very "long" and have a much higher chance of not finishing the survey without interest-engagement (video, graphics, saliency of questions).

Research showed that length doesn't necessarily drop engagement, but poor questions (relevance / saliency) does.

You will want to tighten up the questions, reduce the # of open-ended questions (how are you going to compare all of those?)

You could instead make radio-text boxes (seeing you are using Google Forms), such as: What did you first make the computer do: Option 1,2,3,4,5, Other (as a text line).

What language could also be radio-boxes (to shorten respondents time to type).

You are also requiring random open-ended questions to be completed (red asterix), or the form will not submit. You will lose much engagement this way.

Also note why you are gathering this (I assume for schooling), which would perchance help with privacy concerns (though you don't need anyones real name).

I'd agree that the claim "feminists wish to see men suffer" is equivalent to the above quote. I'm surprised to hear that this is a common sentiment in serious conversation.

The claim "women and men should be treated equally", even with an ignorance of any ongoing injustices towards women, does not seem equivalent to the above quote.

For example, the quote in question implies a zero-sum game, whereby advancing capable women inherently hurts men. This assumption is absent from "men and women should be treated equally."
So I have to manually fix gmail's incorrect assumptions about how I want my mail to be filtered rather than manually put my own correct filters in place?

You can search nested labels. If you go into a sub label you should see the search box auto-populate with that label (including the nested on).

For example I have a nested label "Invites" in the label "Calendar" (Calendar/Invites). Searching "label:calendar-invites blah" searches for "blah" inside the nested label.

It seems like your objection is to the fact that undergrad-like course loads are branded as MS degrees.

But the question here is what is best for the poster.

Assuming he can pass the MS degree, a future employer will give much more credit to an MS than a second BS in CS. Furthermore, as he describes it, the coursework already includes the equivalent of an undergrad in CS or more.
