There's also a fundamental logic error in that sentence.

The NSA says: "It should hardly be surprising that our intelligence agencies seek ways to counteract our adversaries’ use of encryption. Throughout history, nations have used encryption to protect their secrets, and today, terrorists, cybercriminals, human traffickers and others also use code to hide their activities. Our intelligence community would not be doing its job if we did not try to counter that."

Ken replies: "The NSA's official response is to suggest that wanting to secure our communications from our surveillance is inherently suspicious and suggestive of criminal activity."

But that doesn't follow at all! A cop might say "well of course we have battering rams for breaking down locked doors." That doesn't mean he thinks anyone who locks their door is a criminal!
I don't know what your project is, but any time I see a website without a price clearly available, I assume it's (a) not something I can afford and (b) needs a hard sell.

Even if it looks like it's as nifty as good crusty wheat bread still warm from the oven with a dollop of butter melting on it, I'll go find it elsewhere.
You left out "glinting rich and strange", which helps to make sense of "into our eternal souls".

Black pearls are rare with a somewhat subjective beauty, "unfathomable" can be interpreted literally in the analogy but also holds its normal meaning, and "any other diver" refers to any author but Pynchon.
Ditto.

The vast majority of your code probably isn't manipulating state, or doesn't need to be. You can have well defined boundaries where you're dealing with state. Read from the database, pass those values through a bunch of pure functions, then eventually rewrite to the database. You only have side effects when you intially read from and eventually write to the DB. Same goes for manipulating the DOM, and almost anything else.
It’s getting slutty in here. Take a shit. But.. I Didn’t Mean That.
And using Drudge Report as an example.... not really that good of an idea.
Thanks for the interesting information. I'm skeptical that the Z-80 designers were planning ahead for 16 bits, though. Simpler BCD math is a possibility - I'll look into this as I examine the Z-80 more. The 6502 wins, though, for crazy but efficient decimal arithmetic - it has a complex patented circuit that detects decimal carry in parallel with the addition/subtraction, and another circuit to add the correction factor to the result without going through the ALU again. So you don't need a separate DAA instruction or additional cycles for decimal correction.

General question: what things about the Z-80 would you guys like me to write about? Any particular features of the chip? Register-level architecture, gates, or the silicon? Analyzing instructions do cycle by cycle? Gate counts by category? Comparison with other microprocessors?

I can sense your suspicion, but I wouldn't overthink it just yet. I'd imagine there's profanity or something in the git history that needs to be cleaned up before publishing.

That said, I completely agree - before believing this browser to be completely secure, I need to see the source and be able to compile it myself.

...not that I'd necessarily personally do that, but I'd like to know that people have.

I agree it's ridiculous. However, given what happened to Chelsea Manning, and given that the Guardian, NYT, etc can't always know in advance what could be construed as "aiding the enemy" it's sensible (in a self-preserving sense of the word) for them to get a NSA/GCHQ opinion on what pieces would "aid the enemy" and what wouldn't. They don't necessarily have to listen to the NSA or GCHQ, but later in court they can legitimately claim that they made an honest effort to avoid divulging information that would aid the enemy.
Point taken, but it seems to me the thing that open source fanboys are actually complaining about. Almost none of them knows what Microsoft is supposed to have done.
I like the concept. Using it to measure, evaluate and manage leads that fall into level 1 (widest part on top) is by itself a good thing. I once worked for a large company whose sales funnel had 7 stages/filters inside. Each one of them affecting of being affected by more than one organization. Dealing with it was a pain for most sales guys because it was easy to see where the opportunity was stuck in the funnel, but very hard to see why. I can imagine that smaller less complex organization could easily pull out a 3 or 4 level funnel, go with it and see its benefits.

From your POV, I reckon is so enough freedom remains for "people" like you to post on the internet. You should be pleased.
It's not as rosy as you make it seem.

Right now there's a thread there discussing the lens size and resolution for some camera phones. There was a reply that had 5 up / 0 down votes when I got there - and it was derived from a pretty naive error. Yet it was deemed "best answer" at the time, according to the votes.

This situation is not unique, it happens all the time on /r/askscience. Semi-educated loudmouths are a huge fraction of the contributors. Occasionally you get a real expert chiming in, but their stay is typically limited. Many gross errors go unchallenged forever. Voting is dominated by groupthink. Goes on and on.

If you think that's "one of the better places to get a good answer to a random science question on the internet", then you have some exploring to do yet. ;)
No, there is no copy-on-write. We try to keep the behavior and performance as transparent as possible and cow is distinctly non-transparent. If you want a copy, you have to explicitly make a copy.
I think it's far more important to destroy the resources and apparatus that enables totalitarianism than to punish the people who participated in a previous police state after it's already collapsed.

After the DDR fell, Mielke wasn't going to be operating the Stasi any longer. Going after people like him might bring some emotional closure to people persecuted under the regime, but if the regime is gone, that's all it can do: there's no argument for deterrence. If a new police state emerges, it's not likely to be administered by the same individuals who ran the old one.

Keeping the resources used by the old police state on hand, and acting to cultivate public trust in the new government seems like a combination to be wary of. The corruptability of human institutions demonstrated by the existence of previous police states should caution us against putting excessive trust in any institutions.
I don't actually use their service, I assume pricing is available via a sales rep via their contact us page. If you want notice about the tiers, take a look under the "Suite Components" portion of the link I provided.
Tuition isn't exactly cheap either. There is also the little matter of a few years not earning anything. Or the cost and effort a lot of students and their families go through to get in.
Recursion isn't really hard once you get used to it, and often leads to shorter/cleaner code. Map/filter/reduce are themselves very clearly expressed using recursion.
>I'm not terribly worried about if companies see what I do, so it doesn't change my behavior.

It sounds like you are saying: "I'm not doing anything wrong, so why do I need any privacy".
Whether to provide BCD optimisation always seemed to be a tricky engineering decision; virtually nobody used the 6502 BCD instructions in the amateur home microcomputer environment I was familiar with in the 80s, but it was clearly considered to be important to the CPU manufacturers. Were there BCD benchmarks back then? Was it considered a killer feature to make financial software easier to write? Did Rockwell ever capitalise on that patent?
This seems like a complex way to repackage a cup-o-noodles product while adding a limiting requirement of Keurig hardware to provide your hot water. Vs a cup with dry processed soup ingredients that can use hot water from a microwave, a water cooler/heater, or a kettle.

Can you run a Keurig with no cup to use it to just heat water?

I guess there is some value in gaining access into untapped markets, but as a consumer it seems very niche.
PG has stated multiple times that they key to success is being relentlessly resourceful and pivoting. There are a lot of people with that mindset, most of whom are not Stanford/MIT graduates. Encouraging more applicants from a wider selection pool might increase the quality of YC batches.

PG is always innovating, I'm sure the current process he's created is not the global maximum. He might be interested in matching founders, giving initial ideas, codifying more of his process into apps - anything that might increase ROI he will try as a rational businessman.
They need to ask:

1. At what percentage will your entity spend on administration costs?

2. Will you agree to keep it to less
than 10%, if we give you funds?"

3. Flat out ask the future non-profit, "How much money
do you feel you will need to run the non-profit. Would
you agree to take only what the standard cost of living
in the county you reside--if it succeeds?"

4. Will your BOD contain any family, friends, or relatives?

5.(Sorry if I sound callous; I live in a county where
starting a non-profit is a career move. Some of the salaries are mind boggling.)

6. (Note to any future non-profit. I applaud your efforts
if they are honest. Just a reminder--if you ever close
down the 501(c)3 you can't keep any assets--not even a
paper clip. Nothing belongs to you. )

At my office they have fruity tea options and I can tell you that the flavour gets into the coffee if someone previously brewed such teas. I don't want to imagine what a coffee brewed after one of this soups would taste like.
Except that the current vogue in modern literature is hyper-realist memoiristic writing which eschews the Moderist approach of purpled prose in favor of more intimate relations between characters without overbearing literary flourishes e.g. Jonathan Franzen

I suppose I'm Vastrm's target customer. I love polos and have a closet full of $100+ polos to prove it.

This said, I'm not really drawn to the offering:

1. I personally don't have a problem with fit. Many brands already offer different options (i.e. classic, slim, ultra-slim) and I'd find it hard to believe that there is a large number of individuals in the target market who can't find a brand that offers a satisfactory fit. If you're interested in wearing attractive, comfortable clothing, identifying the brands and fits that you like really isn't a big deal. And once you've done this, you generally don't need to revisit.

2. This isn't a suit. I have little interest in spending time designing a polo or seeking a more "perfect" fit for casualwear. Vastrm seems far less efficient than "take a trip to the mall."

3. I wouldn't consider myself a label snob, but the label and visible branding that often accompanies it is always reasonably going to be a part of the value proposition when it comes to clothing.

Did you just take 200 words to say "Only wealthy individuals who don't need money can do this?"

Also in tech, its almost impossible to sell workers on the idea of a options-based windfall in favor of lower pay -- let alone the vague promise of 'success'.

As Dan Savage once said at a journalism conference I attended in college, back when journalism had a future, "Put the Fuck Above the Fold."

This is clickbait. There's valid reasons not to support everyone and everything. (But we should are about blind people. Those IE7 guys, though, can go fuck themselves.)
For worse, since we complain about it endlessly. Headlines should do their job quietly, not cause this uproar.
I read the first couple of pages intensely, came to that conclusion, skimmed the rest for why I might be wrong. Fair question.
And so many people have long commutes with emails or instant messages coming in that they would like to be able to monitor without taking their eyes off of the road.

Then perhaps they should consider taking public transportation? These kinds of HUD technologies could do a lot to make important driving information more easily accessible, but given the overwhelming evidence that trying to concentrate on remote communication while driving dramatically increases the risk of and damage caused by having an accident, it's hard to believe that shoving all that information between the driver's eyes and the road could ever make that kind of activity acceptably safe.
I understand k-cups are convenient, but a "super-automatic" espresso machine has much cheaper consumables, and far superior results, measured in KLoCs. The only difference in operation is that you have to empty the grounds.

Or if a machine seems too troublesome, Starbucks sells single cup packets that work without a machine.

The k-cup machines seem like the thinnest premise for creating an ink-cartridge business model.
I cannot believe you guys even discuss this. We are grossly underpaid. Mainly because we are (en masse) not able to negotiate the compensation. That would be a problem if we were able to organise, so someone else would do that for us.

Look around, everything is driven by computers now. EVERTHING. Even bloody banks. And we are still not sure are we underpaid or not. En masse IT person is shy, ready to accept lower pay, and easy to accept more hours.
Some consumers that own Keurig's really love them. It's almost an obsession. I have one in my house and don't really get it. I don't like that it heats up a plastic cup to coffee hotness level. I feel like the coffee it brews is fairly weak. I tried using it with reusable cups to grind my own coffee but then it's even weaker.

However, those that like them, really like them. There are iced beverages you can make with them, or even hot apple cider. I guess this is niche, but those that will use it will get hooked.
But Nginx is not running the PHP code, whatever the application daemon on the background does. Nginx simply proxies to it. Apache can get similar performance if you offload PHP and not use the mod_php.
This is only useful if the flavoring of the hot water is derived from solids that should not be in the final product, as in the case of coffee or tea. Not sure what this will bring to soup (unless the k-cup has chicken bone fragments in it?).
I was thinking of games like Starcraft where even flying units had to stop before firing, as opposed to Total Annihilation where most (all?) units could fire on the move. So I guess I'm concerned about the ability of units to do multiple things at once, which os something every game should have.
> Can you run a Keurig with no cup to use it to just heat water?

Yes, you can. In fact, I use my Keurig this way quite often for making tea (get cup of hot water from keurig, drop tea bag in cup) and have used it to make hot chocolate and cup-o-noodles several times in the same way.
This isn't at all new in the world of mechanical engineering. Devices like the SpaceMouse (http://www.3dconnexion.com/) have been around for decades.

What is new is the Leap Motion device Elon plugged into the workstation. All of the fanciness of this UI can be attributed to the Leap Motion, which has generally been available for about a month.

So Elon plugged in a Leap Motion into software which is already programmed to use a Space Mouse, which took all of about ten seconds, then made a video and published it. What a publicity whore.

He should refrain from stunts like this, lest people get the impression that every advance at Tesla and SpaceX is, in fact, something invented elsewhere and opportunistically seized upon with as little effort as this took.
It's cool to see the amazing detail that went into something so ugly.
Help keep Riseup, the secure e-mail and mail list provider, online
Letterboxd & Trakt are just tracking. Rinema also helps you discover interesting movies you would like to watch.
You can discover movies on Rinema via:

- Taste Buddies: We believe best recommendations come from people who share your tastes in cinema, so, not only does Rinema tell you what your friends are watching but, it helps you find other users who have similar tastes (taste buddies as we call them) We have an ok-cupid like match score for film buffs. You can then either follow those users to find out what they are watching or directly generate recommendations from their collections.

- You can find interesting movies from various lists. Rinema has Iconic lists: NY Times top 1000, BFI top 250, as well as famous film makers favorites. And, ofcourse, there are some very interesting movie lists created by our users like Hacker Movies, Film Adaptations, Mind Twisters etc. etc.

- Last but, not the list we do have algorithmic recommendations too and also, tons of ways (genre, lang & more) of exploring our database of 170,000+ movies in a beautiful UI.

Vasily's approach to CUDA really revolutionized how I think about GPU programming and I'm glad the continuum folks are giving ILP on the GPU a broader audience. Can anyone testify to the quality of continuum's CUDA wrapper? Is it nicer to work with than PyCUDA?
Any large community has these problems. This is the advantage to using forum engines that allow non-anonymous upvotes/downvotes over a naive mail-list - people can silently agree and separate the wheat from the chaff, and consensus becomes far more visible. You can even give the important contributors greater "weight" to the ups/downs (this is not a democracy, contributors are worth more).
I think there's too much going on in that HUD for the average driver to parse. I'm also unconvinced by the choice of elevation perspective for the route guidance - even though the display is above the road, it feels less confusing to have a "birds-eye" perspective on the route guidance.

As the Sheppey pile-up demonstrates, there's a lot of people who simply suck at driving - specifically maintaining sufficient braking distance and NOT cutting into someone else's braking distance when changing lanes (in poor conditions that space is for ME to stop in, not for YOU to slide into). As it is, I'm conscious that I need to be aware of the car behind as well as the car in front. The only way it'll work is if the car brakes for you, and then everyone has to have that technology.
