I did read the study. My question is: why do women still take a lot more time off their careers for childcare than men? Presumably most of the children that a woman doctor is missing work to look after also have fathers: why are fathers not taking more responsibility to raise their children?
"deliver 3x on the money invested a few years before. They are still delivering less than $1 billion, less than 2% of Google's revenue."

That's virtually all profit, not revenue, and WSt would be thrilled. And all you would need a crooked employee to do that. Maybe a GV partner could approach a SRE...ala http://www.sec.gov/news/press/2011/2011-53.htm

Goldman Sachs and PG board member has been corrupted that way, imagine a lowly engineer that could triple his salary in a heartbeat.
I've heard good thing about work done by AKDN and AKF ... they are so reputable that they leverages every dollar received through matching grants from leading donor agencies and partners, including the U.S. government, to create a multiplier effect that stretches resources and amplifies the impact of every donation....

"Officials at schools at or near the tipping point are helplessly watching as their campuses become like boy clubs, with a surfeit of men competing for a handful of surviving women. Henry Broaddus, dean of admissions at William and Mary, explains the new anxiety: “[M]en who enroll … expect to see women on campus. It’s not the College of William and William; it’s the College of William and Mary.”

Just me who feel that it is slightly offensive and paint a picture of women as sex objects? I wonder how they were allowed to print it without massive outcry.
I also tend to be bothered by typos. I noticed several missing "a"s:

"unlock the gate to great career"
"one profile that gives complete picture"
and the "the time recruiter spends" typo already mentioned below
Anything that has to be spread to "The Masses" through marketing, propaganda or public education campaigns need a simple message to work. Simple, clear, strong messages with no room for debate. Just say no. Just Do it. The Real Thing.

Exaggeration is absolutely essential if you want to get people to react. You cannot rely on reality to provide the necessary frightening statistics.

So for example, almost everyone (including smokers) overestimates the risk of lung cancer caused by smoking by an order of magnitude. The danger of second hand smoke by even more. Cigarettes are unhealthy, but people are too irrational to react to that. In order to get a reaction, the dangers must be multiplied.

Another good example is HIV transmission. Most people assume the transmission rate is close to 100%. Someone who has had sex with a HIV+ partner and survives dodged a bullet. In reality, transmission rates after a single exposure are very low. It depends on the sex act and viral load but even for high risk activities like anal sex, infection rates are in the low single digits. They are estimated around 0.1% per exposure for vaginal penetrative sex.

Campaigns that made you think of how many people are 5 shags removed from you (your ex & her exes & his exes..) implied that infection rates were near 1%. People bought it. They started using condoms. The spread slowed or stopped. A 0.1% risk would not have done that.

So yeah. Marketers lie. So do propagandists. The layman public simplify. It's how shoes get sold. it's how public opinions are changes.
Oh right! I meant to say Go vs Node.js. Only one walks away.
The fact that spreadsheet regular users are programmed by spreadsheet power users (the ones building charts, formulas, etc.) in an imperative way does not mean that the creation of the spreadsheet by the power user is not declarative, and is really completely irrelevant to what is being discussed.

Applied Cryptography mentions the 'Interlock Protocol' [1]. Why is something like this not used in today's protocols to try and detect MITM attacks?

The key is obviously to make some trade-off between usability and difficulty during creation. If the software is never finished because running test cases with 10e10 chars-long names takes too long, users won’t even be given the choice of not using it.

That said, I’d love to have my PGP fingerprint on my ID :)

You're assuming that a school is capable of separating the smart kids from the dullards. The big flaw in your idea is that you're labeling kids who really don't know what they want to do yet, or aren't really happy with their surroundings. A kid that struggles in school isn't necessarily struggling because they can't do the work.

I really didn't like school. I only got on with a handful of kids, I was awkward, I was anxious, and most of my teachers would have put me in the "dullard" category. However, I did enough to get myself into college, and then ended up at university, and even landing a Masters place at a top 10 university in the UK. If I compare myself to some of the smarter kids I knew when I was at school, I probably did better academically and financially.

HN is always so focused on how education is flawed, and how a university education isn't really needed, yet I'm willing to bet that very few people on here have any experience on the other side of education. My girlfriend is a teacher, and I can safely say that teaching kids isn't even remotely as easy as it seems.
We (ScraperWiki) can still access some of our US East servers. From those, can daisy chain SSH into the ones that are offline. Those servers can't see the world, but are working fine and can see other EC2 instances.
I enjoyed your comment so I don't want you to think I'm being rude but I think there is a difference between trying a drug (maybe more than once) versus becoming addicted to it and needing to quit.

My best (and personal) example is that I would smoke a cigarettes with friends back in college whenever we were out and drinking. It provided a good additional buzz and it was somewhat social. I'd even buy my own pack so I could have one if my other smoking buddies weren't around (also when I was out drinking). I averaged 2-4 cigarettes per week and I'd even go weeks without smoking as well. It was sporadic and I didn't enjoy cigarettes any other time. When I saw people smoking during the daytime I would actually be kind of disgusted at the thought of smoking. So I guess my point is... was I addicted? I don't think I was. Was there ever a line that I would say that I "quit smoking"? Eventually I did stop my "casual" routine. Even now, I think I would still smoke a cigarette if I was put back into similar situations.

I think it's completely reasonable to have tried a drug many times and not be considered addicted. On the contrary, many of those same college friends I smoked with I would consider to be addicted. It wasn't a limited activity. It was an anytime and anywhere activity.
I think that it can be true that "hard work and success go hand in hand", but it kinda depends on how you define both "success" and "hard work".

As for the freedom thing... I'll just observe that there are different kinds of "freedom". In that earlier thread, I made the point that, as a founder, I have FAR more to do now, which seemingly means I have more responsibilities and less freedom. Well, yeah, no. I mean, I have less free time now, in a sense. But I have more freedom in that I am the one making decisions about marketing, sales, product roadmap, strategy, etc. In other words, by founding a company, I'm at least a little more free to call my own shots. I decide (well, along with my co-founder, so it's not only me) what markets to pursue, what customers to chase after, what parnterships to engage in, etc.

I'll argue that being a founder means both more responsibility and more freedom, even though that may sound paradoxical, given an intuitive notion of what "freedom" entails.

Also, for what it's worth, in my comment on the other thread, I took the parent comment I replied to as using "freedom" more in the "free time" sense, which is why I agreed and made the comment I made.
In general, I agree that distance is a factor. However, the range at which signals can be intercepted is substantially greater and repeating and recording equipment also comes into play.

As do actors other than Federal agents.
Some people say to use a perfect hash function in that case, IMO it's more trouble than it's worth.
I wonder how that works with new zones. I remember us-east-1e being added separately to the original four. Presumably, that one's the same for all accounts that'd already signed up at the time.
I got into one of our machines that presented the connectivity issues from another one which was still reachable. It had no external (curl www.google.com) connectivity. Just two minutes ago it started resolving again.
Off topic: it seems that posts from medium.com are less often on front page now. Sign of decline?
I think the point may be that the fuzziness is already built into big-O notation. That is O(n) + C = O(n), where C is a constant.
I think they are referring to the higher power ipad charging that pushes more amps down the line than the spec calls for. There is some kind of trigger used to tell the charger to send more juice. This device will probably cause that to not work. So, an ipad on this would only charger at the standard/lower rate.
That jibes with my take as well. The "freedom" in being an entrepreneur is the freedom to shape your company, and have more control over your path going forward.
There seems to be a mistake in almost every paragraph...

"How it works?" - either "How does it work?" or "How it works"

"one profile that gives complete picture"

"a resume doesn't do justice with the capabilities of a Job Seeker"

"Signin to find out more"

"Drop us a mail if you want to know anything about us or have queries or feedback. Please feel free to do so."

Lots more awkward English and random capitalization, sentences that would benefit from a comma, etc. Definitely have a native English speaker edit this.

It could be a good idea though. I like the idea of portfolio sites for graphic designers (like http://carbonmade.com/) and this could be something that would fulfill more of a development bent.
I really enjoy JSONView for solving this problem.

When I read the title I thought "not another lunatic", but it does sound like he planned it quite well. He is an IT manager after all.

I thought maybe he should have worn an immersion suit, but perhaps that is unnecessary with the lifeboat.
I think you mean play C-S 1.6 specifically and drink rakia.
Client-side decoding in a web app is not secure against the host of the web app, because the decryption code can be changed at any time to contain arbitrary backdoors. Lastpass stores the encrypted secret, and they serve the Javascript that decrypts the secret, so they should be assumed to have access to the secret.
Interesting contrast with russelluresti's comment...
I fail to see how that statement is any different than any other affirmative action plan, or the popular drive for more women in tech.
I've seen ~O(1) as amortized constant time fairly frequently.
While I don't like at all the idea of government surveillance without court order, I find the idea of corporate surveillance even more horrifying.

Actually, this is what amuses me in the whole privacy affair. So a bunch of companies were using and abusing your data to target ads at you and shape your news stream so that it's more addictive, and people were cheering. A government (still mostly democratic, though not from my non-US perspective) is revealed to snoop on people illegally and people rage. I don't actually question the rage – but I see the complacent acceptance of the private companies using the same data as amusing.

A large part (not whole, though) of what NSA does is taking your stuff from the place it already shouldn't have been. We're complaining about a fireplace in a burning forest.
Is the material going to be available in some format suitable for Kindle? Or do I need to convert the HTML myself?
I imagine that was the intent but the idea of something that is only approximately worst case constant time is quite odd. Does that mean it's only ever so slightly O(N)? O(N/BIGNUM) Except as I understand it that would still normally be written O(N)...
One response is to get offended. Another response is to realize that college is as much a social exercise as it is an academic one. Men expect there to be women on campus, women expect there to be men on campus (even at an all women's college, as I found out by dating one at Wellesley).

Ultimately students are customers of a service. The service that universities provide is part academic, part social.
Hi, can you use port forwarding to get website up on those affected nodes?
I agree with this. Giving someone access to tech devices is one thing, but empowering them with education on how to use such devices to better their lives is something completely different altogether.

In America, I would hope that public libraries help bridge that gap.

I'm all for educating the world's poor, but it must come from a different perspective. For example, I wrote a Python web development course from the bottom up so that one actually learns programming techniques. I touch Django last.

When it comes to those less tech-savvy, you need to educate from a more practical, instantly gratifying standpoint. Teaching them how to get an MVP off the ground quick, even if they don't understand what's happening beneath the surface is key.

With the rise of MOOC, it would be great to tailor one to American's poor.
Yes, thanks, that's exactly what I meant.
Wow you actually quoted it and changed it around but didn't say explicitly what you were doing and didn't make it clear where you made changes. I think you were trying to make a point, but the way you did it is wrong. The original text I had no problem with.
I first read these as an undergraduate physics major. They are fascinating if you already understand the physics, because his approach is always unconventional and a little brain-bending. For an introductory text for those not familiar with the physics, they are often very confusing. I would not recommend them to someone trying to learn physics. Go learn physics elsewhere, but then absolutely come back to Feynman and look at the things you have already learned in a very different light.
He's just talking about the time between the bits.
It depends on how you are using containers. If you control what code is run in them and who has access to the containers and their hosts, then production use should be fine as far as security goes.

However, if you're trying to run something which lets untrusted people login to the containers or run arbitrary untrusted code in the containers, then I certainly wouldn't recommend doing that with containers in a production environment.

One project you might like to keep an eye on is CoreOS [1]. As I understand it, their goal is to create an OS which will come configured to safely run containers. Once it is ready I would expect it will be suitable for use in a production environment.

Thank you for this, I got all the 3 volumes over the summer to read, but couldn't finish them but had to return them.
Was just about to post this same thing, huge plus one. JSONView is a life saver, highly recommended.
Does anyone know why in the world they display a green checkmark with a near invisible little 'i' for this?
Perhaps you should, though. I mean, sure, normally you don't need to worry about it; but given how much personal data is being stored on our phones these days, and how easy this sort of attack would be (stick a charger in an airport that actually slurps up the data of anyone who uses it), it's definitely something to think about.
It's the same idea as treeIt, a script I made a while ago: https://github.com/alessioalex/treeIt

Edit: treeIt can be used also in Node, has tests written for it and you can customize the HTML template for it.

There are thousands of documented cases of actual fraud, which were not pursued - almost as if the AGs don't want justice. They investigate practically nothing, and when the truth comes out (accidentally or by way of a whistleblower), they move quickly to close it with a slap on the wrist which is usually amounts to a fine far below the damage to 3rd parties.

Almost everything about the mortgage business is a fraud from one perspective: MERS. I don't have time to find the terse summary, but http://market-ticker.org/akcs-www?post=188061 should give you some idea about what the problem is.

The basic problem: without actually recording a transfer at the county registry, a mortgage cannot be given the preferential security treatment. Almost none of the mortgages sold had their title transfer registered -- this would need to be done every time the mortgage changed hands, and incurs a non trivial cost. Instead, the banks made their own law, created a corporation called MERS, which supposedly owns everything, and acts as an agent of the MERS-registered owner. However, this is not legal - not for foreclosing, not for the IRS, not for the counties.

Congress' way to fix it is to make it retroactively ok for the banks to make their own law. I'm not following closely, so I'm not sure if that has indeed happened - but I am sure that the whole MERS thing is illegal, and that AGs (except perhaps in Louisiana) try to fix it by ignoring it.

Is it just me or does everyone else naturally read this in Feynman's voice?
Because checkmarks make everything look fine...
And by "announcing" you mean indicating everything is a-okay with the green checkmark but putting a tiny footnote next to it.

ELBs are also having problems. One of mine is reporting all instances out of service (transient error), then all instances in service, intermittently. But the ELB is never reachable (even when it reports all instances healthy and up). All instances behind this one are reachable, up and running. US-East-1.

Some of our other instances are reachable but some are not, same as others have been reporting.
> Right now we need to find out which (root?) CAs are compromised by the NSA.

Given that basically all CAs people actually use (even in Europe) are owned by US companies, I would estimate something close to 100% of them have cooperated with the NSA at some point. Obviously there are non-US CAs like China's CNNIC but most of them won't actually sell you a certificate.
That's the point. He's pointing out how they're allowed to talk about women wanting to see men on campus, but if they were to talk about men looking for women on campus, a feminist would label it as turning women into sex objects.
Go has a weird subset of admin/programmer people who haven't discovered erlang and think they are too good for C.

Node has a weird subset of web people who haven't discovered erlang and think they are too good for deploying a message/job dispatch queue with python or ruby.

If you want to be really bored with all these "modern" programming advancements, learn erlang and lisp and smalltalk. Everything is just reinventing their aspects over and over and over again targeted to audiences as "new new new!"
I find the the input format much easier to mentally parse, and it's more compact too. Maybe I am not human.
I've a more detailed comment below, but the issue isn't new databases per se, but the huge number of legacy systems out in the world. I have no control of those, I end up building software that has to work with them and help the users and their clients.

You deal with questionable quality data that comes from hundreds of different systems running software that may be decades old with demographics from around the world that may have no common conventions. And you fight for the extra disc space and processors to handle an extra hundred characters per record, because with a huge number of records, even that may cause issue with storage, backups and time to process.

And yes, I have to write code to deal with all of the "Little Bobby Tables", too.
> You cannot prevent that some entity will have private data about you, once you start using mainstream online services whose focus is on mainstream issues like ease of use, portability of data and seamless access from multiple devices.

You could encrypt the data locally before sending it to the server. You might also question whether this model of computing is in fact sensible. There are at least partial alternatives, for instance holding all data locally on a smartphone, and then plugging that in to use as a desktop, tablet etc. We should be asking whether the advantages of the Google model outweigh its (significant) disadvantages.
This is awesome.

It's funny, I didn't think it would be useful until I actually checked it out, because I personally find JSON to be fairly readable.
Oh, this is fantastic. I've been wanting to build something like this into a few cables, but this is even better.
Yeah, I stumbled over it less than a week after I had set up some nice script to delete the extraneous backups I didn’t need. At the time, my requirements for keeping backups were a little stricter, too, due to space constraints, which were not easily implementable using rsnapshot. I guess with my ‘new’ scheme of one backup/day to keep, it’d be much easier.

Irrelevant.

Irrelevant to your argument, which is that we should continue doing it even after we figure out that it's offensive, because fuck them.

You can read the Feynman lectures either as a first-year UGRAD, a last-year UGRAD, or even as a graduate student and you will always find lots of things to learn.

The thing that I appreciate the most about Feynman's teaching is he shows you how to derive things from first principles. That is what learning should be like---just stating results is not enough: the teacher's job is to show (intuitively or formally) how the result is derived from other things the student knows.
Sorry for the late reply. No built in way to cache globbed filepaths as far as I know. I did a little googling but to no avail. I suspect it wouldn't be too complicated to hack something together though. Another potential option: buy an SSD.
If only set notation was more common with big-O notation. 'O(n) + C = O(n)' can be confusing, whereas 'f(x) ∈ O(n) ∧ f(x) ∈ O(n) + C' makes sense.
