OK, I'll bite. This article offers _terrible_ advice, especially if the reader is a neophyte who thinks they are a hacker:

* barely mentions operational security

* nothing about potential costs or risks

* no scoping of the CA certificate

* bad recommendations for key lengths

* only an off-hand mention of CRL publication

* no mention of intermediate CAs

If it was just some guy saying, "hey, here's how you set up your own toy CA without having to read the crappy OpenSSL manual pages, but don't use it for anything real because it isn't safe from anything other than the most trivial attacks," then I wouldn't even bother to down-vote the thing. Instead, it's some guy saying, "hey, use your toy CA for real stuff" without the attendant cost-benefit analysis that includes scenarios like "my toy CA got hacked and issued certificates that caused one of my customers to get hacked, and now my customer is suing me for negligence."

Not only is this person wrong, but their advice will make the Internet less secure. I'm no fan of X.509 PKI (that Mozilla ticket about Honest Achmed really tickles my funny bone and not in any of the ways that make me laugh), but I'm not about to second-guess the kinds of heavy-duty security engineering that goes into running a real, live root CA.

Relevant XKCD: http://xkcd.com/552/
Careful - if you even attempt to log in during the two week window, they will reset the timer for deletion (it can be easy to almost unconsciously log in if you're a heavy user). They even do it before you confirm or deny that you're reactivating your account. Seems like one of those psychological games: "come on, do you really want to leave? Now you have to wait even longer for your account to be deleted! Just come back to the fold!"
Note that implicit in the deal is that the carrier provides support. You can take the phone to the store and ask questions, or call them. For faulty hardware they will replace it (warranty services). The carrier will typically also do insurance for those that want it. The consumer has an ongoing relationship with the carrier. It is hardly surprising phones mostly get bought that way.

There is no such relationship with the phone manufacturers or retailers, with the Apple exception, and even they depend on carriers. (You can fairly accurately predict Apple sales by how many carriers carry the devices.)

Note that being available on a carrier doesn't automatically lead to success (eg Blackberry and Nokia are available on about 3 times as many carriers as Apple is). However it is a prerequisite for getting a foot in the door.
I doubt whether it is even a "thing" for Ubuntu. In Verizon's shoes I'd certainly claim this, if only to harass existing suppliers to get a better deal from them!
I believe one of the large reasons why it took so long is that the linux graphics stack had to be completely redone (KMS etc) before this could be started, and decent open source drivers had to be developed as well. I also think a sufficient number of capable people with funding had to feel like there was no hope in salvaging Xorg.

I am just finishing up an HTML5 anonymous IRC client that I originally planned on using Socket.io for. I decided to use Firebase in the end.

Also, I think the Oculus Rift is one of the coolest inventions I've seen in a long time because it takes an industry that has a pretty consistent history (video games) and turned it on it's head. Oculus VR is taking what most people believe to be science fiction and making it a reality. I have a lot of respect for those guys. (And I might have sent them a job application last week. ;)) Computer vision/graphics is an interesting field that thrives because of the type of math I enjoy: linear algebra.

My training is also in web development, but the high tech side of things is where I want to end up.

The skills required to do a job and the skills required to keep a job are very different. Not many people possess both types of skills: one skillset means you need be quite profound, while the other means you need to be quite petty.
> [Sarah Lacy] said the BART strike exacerbated what she sees as a philosophical divide in the Bay Area. People in the tech industry feel like life is a meritocracy. You work really hard, you build something and you create something, which is sort of directly opposite to unions.

I'm a programmer in the tech industry, and I feel that life is an aristocracy - we the workers, whether being at our desks 10 PM on a Saturday, or doing a night shift on BART are the ones building and creating something. The money goes to the heirs - the VC limited partners, the rentiers who get dividend checks from Apple, Microsoft, Qualcomm etc. They do not work, they create nothing, they're parasites off of us who do work.

It's the emperor has no clothes. VC limited partner heirs who've never worked a day in their life hand her a big, fat check. Then she claims the BART workers out on the job at 11 PM, being hassled by crazies are not hard workers. Shuttling people back and forth to where they need to go, they're not part of the wealth creation process apparently.

Up is down, black is white. It's amazing what these parasites and their myrmidons like Lacy spew out. People who do work are accused of not working hard enough, by those who never do any work and their paid lackeys. Saying workers don't work is hegemonically acceptable and normal, saying it's nuts like I am is radical. Too non-normative. What a load of bullshit.

I think your website isn't converting because you sell a product that requires a buyer who is going out of their way to find balsamic --- something US customers buy in aisle 3 of Whole Foods --- and your packaging has none of the signals that people who go out of their way for that use to gauge quality.

* Stop calling it "sauce". Cheese can be a high-quality premium product. "Cheese sauce" not so much.

* Stop calling it a "glaze" if it is in fact something you could call "vinegar". Nobody is shopping for "balsamic glaze". I'm left wondering if I know what the product actually is, which is death to an attempt to get me to buy it off a website.

* The plastic bottle is killing me. Safeway Supermarket balsamic looks like this: http://tinyurl.com/kxyfumo --- the "real" thing looks like this: http://tinyurl.com/layjtkc

If you want to see the acknowledged uncontested masters of premium food product copywriting at work, you're in luck, because they too sell balsamic vinegar over the Internet.

Their balsamic comes with a book. (Juniper, "the most expensive wood". Sheesh. Juniper is a weed.)

I'm guessing from the typos and grammar errors on your site that you're in Italy. Good. Play that card for all its worth; use italian words to describe your product. What's Italian for "glaze", "blend", "aged", "condiment", "sweet", "syrup", and "grape"? Start branding.
Yes and no. The "imply" of "correlation does not imply causation" is a technical term from logic meaning "to be a sufficient circumstance." It does not mean "to suggest".

I agree with his premise of finding many good educational options (many better than Harvard) at schools that are less expensive.

It also made me think that may be that those that would benefit the most from going to Harvard are those who can't get in :-)

It seems to me, much more than a good education, what Harvard offers is the possibility of very good connections. That can be extremely valuable even though is isn't about the quality of education at Harvard.
> North: Democrat (145/154, 94 percent), Republican (138/162, 85 percent)

> South: Democrat (7/94, 7 percent), Republican (0/10, 0 percent)

> Overall: Democrat (152/248, 61 percent), Republican (138/172, 80 percent)

This example is often cited for Simpson's Paradox, but because the South headcount for Republicans (10) and Democrats (94) had such a wide disparity and the Republican headcount was so low, it always seemed more like twisting the data to fit a political narrative than to make a statistical argument. Like other statistical methods, there should be a minimum population size for the paradox to be meaningful.
"found him guilty"

You may have just misspoke but to clarify grand juries do not determine guilt but are used to determine if charges can be brought in the first place.
RTFWP (Read The Fking White Paper) to see how much more this is than just a big sensor.
You misread his comment, the closed source drivers outperform.

The advantage of the open source drivers is they are hassle free. They never piss you off by finding new and creative ways to wreck your system and leave you in a bind. For I suspect most linux users, that is the most important factor, not squeezing every last FPS out of your GPU and every last minute out of your battery.

Intel GPU really is the way to go for linux though. No hassle and more or less the sort of performance you would expect from the same chip on other OSes: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=intel_snb...

I never quite understood this. Certainly you don't want to send an unencrypted notification message (“Matt says: here are the meeting times”) to Apple's notification servers. But do you really have to be that verbose? I'm not terribly concerned about the NSA logging “you have $n new messages!” notifications.
I have to admit, I kinda miss Computer Shopper. Some of my earliest, and fondest, memories of getting started in computing involve poring over issues of that magazine, reading the columns, drooling over the parts advertised in the copious ads, and dreaming about ordering up a motherboard, case, power supply, video card, etc., and building a computer from scratch.

As history would have it, that's pretty close to what I did. I bought a 386DX/40 motherboard and CPU, a whopping 1 megabyte of RAM, and a few other bits, as I pieced together my first PC. Then a guy I went to school with offered to sell me a dead 286 box that had a good power supply, videocard, floppy drives, etc., that I needed, so I bought that, and cobbled together this Frankenstein's PC of a computer. Got myself a 28.8 modem and start exploring BBS's, Tymnet and Telenet networks, reading Phrack magazine, got into phone phreaking and other sordid activities...

Then somehow I got hold of a shareware C compiler, and a copy of Herbert Schildt's book Teach Yourself C. That started an addiction that led to Borland Turbo C++ for DOS, and the need to upgrade my computer to an absurd 4 megabytes of RAM.. and eventually to Borland C++ (the full suite), a whole shelf full of C/C++ books, and my earliest forays into this strange world of something called "linux" and "open source". Then came the Internet, Slashdot, Kuro5hin, Freshmeat, BOFH, Sluggy Freelance, User Friendly, Dilbert, etc...

Years later - who knew that this is where it would all lead? wistful sigh

Call me a sentimental old fart, but Computer Shopper will always hold a special place in my heart. :-)
I don't mind if there's a single way of doing things (although I prefer when there's an escape hatch). But plenty of languages have a single way of, say, iterating over the lines of a file that doesn't involve writing the same expression twice and feeling straitjacketed.

yeah, it's by design because that part was changed not that long ago. Before lines were crossing each other, so had to change the logic of what news to show on the right. I agree with you, it does look confusing with empty boxes, will need to fix it up. Thanks for the feedback.

"How is this different than Dropbox?"...Ok, you attempted to answer that. How is this different than having a NAS, which can hold big TB hard drives, have RAID, often run linux (mine is running cron, etc. to transfer files).

Just a few fancy apps and features? I just don't get how this is different than any network storage on any network and how this is really all that innovative at all.

I dont see an issue with investing in mobile. The cell phone is (mostly) a new distribution channel; a means of reaching consumers. It was critical that Google have unfettered access to its users, although these days mobile is increasingly a producer of information to be collected and organized.

The "taker" class, according to the article.

But comments like Lacy's and White's in response to the BART strike revealed something new. Namely, portions of the tech community are not only observing the destruction of unions as a long-term sociopolitical trend, but actively cheering it on as an example of an intellectual "maker" class beating out working-class "takers."

I think you are falling for Zeno's paradox. There exists an equilibrium with a constant percentage rate of tax redistributed as a lump sum that will not affect inflation at all. If the lump sum is larger than the tax revenue, there will be inflation, and if it is smaller there will be deflation. Just look at the total money supply. Prices in general are not directly affected because this is a redistribution of income.
Apple making an interesting contrast. Carriers that sell the iPhone have to make a sales commitment to Apple that about 10% of their subscribers per year buy an iPhone. The notable carriers that do not carry the iPhone balk at this: http://www.asymco.com/2013/01/17/the-iphone-moq/

Making that minimum order quantity means the carrier has to actively promote and support sales of iPhones.

As you state, I doubt the CAG includes any form of minimum order quantity, which means there aren't any incentives for the carriers to promote the phones. Canonical rather than the carriers will need to do demand generation. Samsung has a fairly high cost of sales (~25% compared to Apple at 10%). And nobody plays until you are spending a billion or more in advertising: http://www.asymco.com/2013/04/02/the-cost-of-selling-galaxie...

Firefox phone at least has the advantage of hundreds of millions of Firefox users which allows a degree of familiarity and awareness. By comparison Ubuntu is a rounding error.

Canonical have a massive hill to climb here. The CAG is at the base of the hill. I wonder what their strategy will be?
I'll take a pure tyranny I can choose whether or not to participate in over a democracy that demands my submission on all collective decisions any day of the year. I don't even really understand the reasonableness of the counterpoint to that position I have to admit, people take that position just come across as faintly unhinged.
In reference to your edit - the phrase "activist judge" is a bit of a dogwhistle for conservatism; it's easy to click to downvote before really digesting what you said.

That said, an independent judiciary is an important part of the separation of powers on which American government is based. While I personally find this entire thing reprehensible from soup to nuts, the judge's power to set arbitrary bail really is the way the system is supposed to work (the kid getting beat up in prison is not the way the system is supposed to work - except that plenty of Americans need a lot more civics education and actually do like to think of people getting raped in prison as extrajudiciary punishment for the suspicious).

Also, an indictment is not a ruling of guilt. A grand jury is convened to decide whether there's a case at all. I personally think this grand jury should have their citizenship revoked until they've passed a battery of examinations in what America stands for, but sadly, that's again not the way the system works.

I live in Vancouver and have had the best success working directly through the local hospital's mental health group. The key is to do a lot of testing. I've also found pink noise to help quite a bit in those times where I need an extra bit of focus.

A misdiagnosis and even the wrong medication is the worst to experience. Finally in my 33rd year of life (18 years since finding out about ADHD) I found a medication that helps my anxiety and depression which allows me to focus on the downsides of the ADHD.

If you're using this strategy with the secondary purpose of determining whether the company is beyond the point of repair and that it is time to move on, then even if the employment of the strategy results in the situation you describe, it can still be used for its intended effect.

I've soon a great engineering manager get his team taken away from him after continuing to stand up for "the right way to do things" (from a technical perspective). He moved on and is at a much better place now.

I wish more people would follow this philosophy. There's nothing more annoying than people that follow the letter of the law without thinking about why it was established in the first place. Most (good) companies will easily forgive breaking the rules if you're doing it for the right reasons with good results.

The point of "the rules" is to protect the company in case someone does something really stupid on their own ("oy! it was against our rules!"), but I don't think competent executives are /that/ tied to them if people break them for a good reason.

- State taxes

- Social Security

- Medicare

If you make 100k and pay 30% to California, your take-home would have to be like 40k, because the Fed will be taking some ~20% (effective; marginal rate would be 28%) and SS+Medicare is another chunk.

I thought python had optional typing http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-3107/
I think this version and spenuke's version are impractically slow, but yours is actually O(N²). If you give it an 824 000 word input, it will do 0.6 quadrillion word comparisons, which you will probably not be willing to wait for. A more practical solution:

counts = Hash.new { 0 }
IO.read('bible-pg10.txt').split.each { |w| counts[w] += 1; }
counts.keys.sort_by { |w| -counts[w] }.take 10

This is still O(N lg N) instead of O(N lg 10) like the Python version, but it's good enough this time; it still gave me ["the", "and", "of", "to", "And", "that", "in", "shall", "he", "unto"] reasonably quickly.

I'd be interested to see if there's a way to do this in a single expression in Ruby.
