Facebook: Here's How Your News Feed Works
I assume (for people who think a human is responsible for the first bot) the responsibility always lies with the human, no matter how many bot are involved. I say this simply because nobody is really interested in being mad and yelling at a bot.

Whether or not the human deserves the blame is a tricky question, but I think in practice they will get it regardless.
So you only want non lossy compression as an option?
Hmmm... Now I don't know if they just added it or if I just missed it. But thanks, that'll do the job!

edit: judging by the 6 upvotes I've got so far for the original comment, it's either just been added (great) or it was already there and there's a UI issue.
I believe it is called stream-fusion. The intermediate data-structures are optimized away (since they're unboxed), allowing for faster operations.
Solar energy hobbyist here:
Figure:
1000 Watts of pure solar energy per square meter. [1]
20% efficiency from a typical panel [2]
Panel area appears to be roughly 4 x (24cm*36cm) = .35 m^2
so energy received is about 69 Watts.

Conversion loss is hard to say, but it's DC to DC so, I would expect efficiencies of at least 90%, so derate the 69 Watts to 62 Watts.

There aren't any specs on this computer's power consumption, but for what it's worth, typical Apple power supplies come in 60, 85 and 100 Watts, IIRC. So this would be roughly like charging with a small mac power supply... depending on battery size, count on about 1-2 hours of charge.

Caveats: this may be kind of thick, heavy and fragile. Also, during the time interval of 1-2 hours, the sun's position will change quite a bit. Panels work best when they're aimed directly at the sun, so if they can be tilted somehow that would be best. It will also need a way to protect the panels from scratches when folded. Demo picture is fake picture.

Why? If you don't trust your Linux distributor then you need to find a different one, but I don't think the answer is compiling everything from source; specially if the upstream project doesn't support 100% your target distribution.

This article reminds me of something Christensen described in the Innovator's Dilemma (or maybe it was in Solution). He spoke of thinking about your product in the terms of what its job is. What are your users using it for, how can you improve your product at doing this job, and how can you make more people aware of your product's capability in doing that job?
Have you considered contracting the ops out? I am in the process of developing a managed service for ops, using a lot of automation, config management etc; basically I install a chef agent on the server, and do everything via code I've written, email me if you want to talk about it anthony@makerops.com. Otherwise, are you doing 24x7 rotations? That will be the determinate along with everyones' geo location, on the best way to set up shifts.

A sure-fire way to increase your happiness is to work out. Do 40 pushups a day for a week, see how your mood improves. Your body is meant to be exercised, don't deprive it of movement and muscle ache.

When I used to go to the gym I remember always sleeping soundly, always waking up feeling awesome and always having a great feeling throughout the day. Can't recommend it enough.
On my tests it's a few 100 requests faster per second than nginx but the average should be around the same. The kernel is the bottleneck in this case I believe.

There isn't any "selling point" ;) Anyone could use it as they like. The main usage for me has been in other projects where I needed a fast and lightweight http server. Such as tracking servers etc. It's pretty "experimental" but I think I will use the "original" server to serve a web app that I will be launching soon. The problem for me has been the lack of a reverse proxy.
There are two pieces of advice that I give all of the startups I work with:
- No Spurious Alerts
- Don't test code in production, ever.

Keep a release schedule, stick to it, do not deviate. If you can't get your stuff tested before the deadline, thats on you and your peers should not suffer. Make sure that all engineer receive alerts via email, its neccesary to "share the pain" so that people get an idea of what mistakes do. Weekly rotation is probably the best thing to do, that way there is a consistent point person for the week.
These are multi function devices meant to be used by many people. If someone in your office has need to make occasional scans that need to fit in an email, isn't it natural to assume they might configure the machine for maximum compression? Why should that setting affect copies?
This is an interesting way to get people who use non-official Twitter mobile clients to install the official client again.

On a serious note, it sounds like they are seriously engineering this so that even someone who has gained access to Twitter's servers cannot access the user secrets:

We chose a design that is resilient to a compromise of the server-side data’s confidentiality: Twitter doesn’t persistently store secrets, and the private key material needed for approving login requests never leaves your phone.

But if someone has gained access to Twitter's servers, isn't this nuance a bit moot? Presumably if I've gained access to their servers then I can also find a way to tweet as someone else or approve their OAuth requests somehow.
I was reading his comment, rolled my eyes and then felt stupid because I figured there was a /sarcasm tag at the end. There wasn't, so the eye rolling was justified.

Length hiding was shown to be ineffective in the article (by adding random noise). Perhaps a fixed length response would work better- or perhaps one that is heavily quantized? Really, production environments are not the place to try un-vetted academic crypto research.
You are correct. The default setting is "high" or "higher"; I don't know which. The setting that may copy blocks of characters around is the lowest setting and is called "normal", and comes with some small print on the screen that actually warns you for the character substitution.
Regarding teachers, I'm thinking of lecture classes with 100 students. A similar feature would be great in other opt-in environments like parties or other situations where one wants to meet people.

Regarding teaching mechanisms, for instruments the advantage of AR over custom hardware is that you don't have to buy a special learning piano or guitar, you can just use the one you've got with your AR glasses.

1. Don't install software from untrusted sources.
2. The trusted sources should provide checksums so you can verify the package before installing it.

This protects you from a compromised package so long as the page you accessed the package from has not been compromised (if that page is compromised, the checksum could be changed to the new one).

I have no idea how you would verify closed source software if the checksum and package are both corrupted...
Pluralsight Acquires TrainSignal for $23.6M
Yeah, I was looking for a number too.
By "lossy" you mean "17" may look like a crappier "17" with reasonable confidence, but will never, ever, become "21" at any compression setting, then I don't mind lossy. That's not asking for too much, is it?
> Personally I use Referer header checking as well. IME all the browsers of my users do send them.

IME that is not true. Certain corporate/government machines have Referer headers turned off for some strange "security" reason. Last time I ran into this when working with Architect of the Capitol (http://www.aoc.gov/), when they couldn't log into a management panel because Django's CSRF protection checks the Referer header.

You can at least look at the difference each second, when the figures update.
Would much prefer to be able to see the actual number of each thing, even if it's at the bottom.

I instead found myself trying to extrapolate the number by staring at the "since you loaded this page" number and observing the difference as it changed each second.
Curious where its getting all that data from.
If you have live server access yes (you can do whatever you want at that point). But if you just have a data breach then no. A data breach of the public keys wouldn't require them to reset two-factor auth for the impacted users. An attacker would need each user's private keys to authorize login attempts and Twitter doesn't store that anywhere so it can't be breached en masse from them.
JBIG2 is not the problem. It is perfectly possible to do lossless compression with JBIG2. They just set its options to do some overly aggressive compression.
Authoring tools haven't got any better in the last decade so I doubt you'll see anything that makes you obsolete for at least another decade.

The only focus these days is they are subscription/SaaS tools so are entirely about milking you easily rather than changing the landscape (despite what they think).

Youll be fine.
Though I don't know either way in this specific case, this is a very common thing with postsecondary education.

Lots of kids are getting too used to highly curated, manually disciplined classroom settings. They are used to the teacher reminding them that they haven't turned in that assignment. The reason they don't skip is because the school will call their parents. They aren't allowed anything other than limited access to technology, because it's "distracting".

When they get to college, they just aren't ready for independence. Without the nannie-teachers and the parents, they don't have a support system that can point them in the right direction. Aspergers would have no doubt exacerbated the situation, but I am not on the spectrum and have very similar addictive tendencies that caused me to nearly fail my course as well.

There's a number on the left below the name and a time you've been there at the top, but I don't see an actual number for likes/second. You either have to calculate it or count the pics.

They do a straight multiplication so the number doesn't appear to be pulled dynamically from any of the sites. I.E. You can take the total and the time you've been there, do a little division and get the number per second without having to count.

EDIT:
Also if you refresh the page near skype, reddit or any of the others and wait 1 second it'll show you the rate before it's modified by the time you've been on the page.

This sentence no verb.
OK down-voter. Read the JBIG2 wiki[1].

"Textual regions are compressed as follows: the foreground pixels in the regions are grouped into symbols. A dictionary of symbols is then created and encoded, typically also using context-dependent arithmetic coding, and the regions are encoded by describing which symbols appear where."

Then from the OCR wiki[2].

"Matrix matching involves comparing an image to a stored glyph on a pixel-by-pixel basis; it is also known as "pattern matching" or "pattern recognition"."

Furrow your brow and smash the down-vote arrow all you wish. It won't stop JBIG2 from doing much of what people consider OCR as doing today. Recognizing characters, just JBIG2 adds in making it's own dictionary which opened the path to this topic today.

Yep - this is excellent advice.

They are threads. Technically they are "green threads". The runtime does not map them to OS threads, although technically if it chose to it could, because goroutines are abstract things and the mapping to real threads is a platform decision.
And if you can't do 40, do five. And if you can't do straight pushups, do knee pushups. And if you can't do five, do one. Then two. Then five. Then 40. But don't rush it, just do what you can and then a little more.
"In fact, 100 hours per year (or two hours per week) is the optimal time we should dedicate to helping others in order to enrich our lives."

First of all, recent research has indicated that shallow happiness is not as important for well-being as a sense of purpose (http://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2013/08/meaning-is...).

Second, if you spend time helping others only so far as it enriches your life, that is literally the definition of selfishness. This is NOT a philosophy that should be encouraged or applauded.

Productivity is not an end, it is a means to accomplish something. If you are the world's most efficient and productive marble bathtub designer, and you only help others to the extent that it makes you happier, you are a jerk.

His concerns are about law and policies constraining freedom, not about building things from scratch. You need not write your own compiler to be consistent with the principles he advocates - Stallman would say you're fine using gcc, because it is legally open for the "four freedoms".

Yes, that's right. But what about, say, an electric drill with proprietary schematics? While I may be free to modify the drill as I see fit, it wasn't necessary built for that purpose. Additionally, I can't modify the drill a little bit, and then start producing them myself (I suspect the original manufacturer might have something to say about that).

Perhaps I'm splitting hairs a bit, or thinking too deeply about it, but the topic of tools interests me.
I wonder if the reason we get happier b/c we get older is because our sexual drive decreases. As it decreases, we focus less on what we can't get (more attractive partner, more exciting sex, etc), because it simply doesn't become as desirable.
What? You don't need a tarball to be able to verify the package via a checksum. In fact, a good packaging system will do checksums automatically, plus offer public key signature verification. I know deb and rpm files do that, and I believe many Windows packaging systems also provide checksums and public key signing. So do apt, aptitude, yum etc. On most of these systems, you even have to manually disable this option if you don't have the repo's public key.

In fact, of all the install methods I use regularly as a Linux user, the only one that does not offer automatic checksums and public key signing is make. You can certainly verify checksums and public key signatures, but you have to do it manually.

Do you look through all the code you build from source? Highly unlikely. If not, what's the point?

Security is a lot more social screening than many people in the tech world would like to think. Know and trust the people you are running code from. If you don't know and trust them and still need their code, that's when you want to spend a couple of hours reviewing the source.
Following deadly accidents, Apple offers $10 iPhone chargers on trade
While I agree with his premise, he doesn’t give a lot of useful advice on how to implement his suggestion. In the case of the menswear website, how does calling people and using a spreadsheet help? People on the phone can’t see the clothes. Also, who are you calling in that example?

In the case of the project management idea - again, who do you call to get a job implementing your idea?

The code idea is probably a reasonable one for some people, though coding is often much harder than it looks.

Finally he says, "The problem is not what you’re missing; it’s that you are not leveraging what you have,” but he gives no advice on how to do that practically. It’s good advice, just not useful without more information.

Most of the time, most people get some level of service and protection, depending on various demographic, economic or geographic factors.

However, that changes if the police has probable cause to believe that you are
or could be suspected of having committed, in the process of commiting, or are about to commit a crime.
They are trained to look for indicators that provide that probable cause.
Once that happens, serving and protecting you is no longer their primary goal.

The police are expert at making that transition seamlessly while most civilians are bad at recognizing the change
or knowing that they have the right to withhold consent.

I currently work in the procurement department of a major defense contractor. This company likes to throw its weight around, but we never (to my knowledge) intend to not pay our vendors - our Terms and Conditions are just exceptionally onerous; but I digress. I would recommend, in any communication with a large customer (such as my company), to be as formulaic and procedural as possible. An example of a letter that would draw our attention and get you the result you want would be:

"Dear [Customer POC],

Your account has a past due balance of $XXXXX.XX. This payment was [agreed/scheduled] to be made by XX/XX/XXXX, in accordance with [our/your] Terms and Conditions. If this balance is not paid before YY/YY/YYYY, we will follow with the appropriate legal action. Please send payment to [address].

Sincerely,
[you]"

You want this to look official and direct. Be brief, and don't be afraid to reference legal action even if you don't intend to sue; "appropriate legal action" leaves the next step up to your discretion while still making a material threat to the delinquent customer.

If your customer is a single person, or a very small business, your more emotionally targeted approach will work well. However, with large companies, you need to give them clear-cut rules with consequences outlined if they should break them. Lawsuits are expensive for big companies as well.
Well sure, but then why don't we just call it "lossy GZIP"? OCR is a pretty specific subset, and produces characters - this does not produce computer-readable characters, therefore not OCR.
