I cannot ignore this warning in Firefox 24 from official repository on Ubuntu 13.04. Actually, I cannot ignore outdated certificates, or those with unknown OCSP status (for example freshly issued certs) either.

Was there some change in Firefox's security model or is it my config? It's rather annoying.
Depending on the design constraints of your project, CSS media queries work wonders. All modernish browsers are pretty intelligent about them.
Not sure if serious...

Music labels have always sold what is popular, they don't care whether it's good or not, they're a business. For a while, they were quite good at it, but then they started to suck at it and then the money dried up. Now all they have left is investing in "sure bets". Filesharing simply accelerated that process and showed the underlying error more quickly.

Look - Art is hard. For a little while, there was a lot of money in music. Droves of indie musicians missed that train and now they're jealous of the success of youngsters that you really shouldn't envy for a nanosecond. It's particularly sorry that they blame their fans for it.

The reality is: Their music is only good enough for a little filesharing. And that's why they don't get signed.

Most "good" musicians who are also reasonably popular have worked their asses off day and night for decades. Success in art is about getting the privilege to translate your innermost into something that can be shared and then seeing it resonate with people so much that they want to share it forward. Translating your innermost into art that resonates with people is frigging hard and takes years and years. Having it resonate with more and more people so you build momentum takes years and years again. Either you're with that, or don't go down that road.

There is no manna raining from the sky and there is very definitely no guarantee for manna raining from the sky that is unfortunately wasted on those you think don't deserve it. That's petty and self destructive (hey, indie musicians).

If you think you deserve something, but somebody else who doesn't deserve it gets it, you have a lot of soul searching to do. Especially if you're that bitter in your early twenties.

As Stephen Fry said: Self Pity (as a superset of hate) will destroy everything except itself.

Cash means controlling your own destiny.

This is as important in your personal finances as it is in business. With enough cash, you can decide for yourself what you want to do and when you want to do it.

I call it buying my time, but in reality, you are buying your freedom to choose. For both people and businesses, it is about getting to the point where your income, assets, and liabilities are in line such that you have a safe surplus.

If you look at the most successful companies or people, they tend to have a significant reserve and that allows them to make choices. Without that reserve, many choices go away. With no reserve, choice almost entirely disappears.

If your goal is freedom, you need to buy that freedom.

.NET and Node with Azure/Azure Mobile Services and progressively enhanced Backbone on the front-end of the website.
due process was simply a tool that was born out of the civil rights era, a tool used by the upper class to increase the labor supply and thereby drop wages and decrease voter unity. Due process was a result of race-guilt engendered in the brains of educated young men who attended elite schools in the first half of the 20th century. The curriculum at those schools was molded by monies from large nonprofit foundations, e.g., getty, ford and rockefeller foundations. These foundations were run by the upper class. The upper class has a primary goal: increase profits. One way they do this is dropping wages. You lower wages by increasing supply of labor faster than demand for it increases. The upper class created a civil rights movement by creating race-guilt, race shame in the minds of impressionable young white people in school. The monies from the foundations were paid to race-oriented, anti-white scholars, activists and writers. Over the decades these well paid faux-leftists managed to mold,shape and change the american left from a left oriented on populist economics, class economics to one oriented about race and gender, identity politics, a new Left that taught that in order for educated whites to prove themselves as non-racist, to make up, atone for the crimes of slavery, they had to elevate the nonwhites, put them ahead of working class whites, to make a place for them in white society. Due process was a concept that arose to help the upper class help the nonwhites get ahead. And in the process, the upper class increased the labor supply and dropped wages and made themselves richer. Just a coincidence of course.

Now, you realize that it was never whites who were slaveowners. It was the upper class all along. The 1860 census showed that only 1.5 percent of all white americans owned slaves. And no surprise that it was the rich, seeing that a slave cost several years income.

Now, seeing as how my karma is so low here because I speak against the upper, this comment will be duplicated on my blog at radicalamericancentrist on blogspot.

Well, maybe. It's a bit hard to tell from that one-liner whether you're being serious or glib, but the question of how the great man or woman treats the people closest to him or her is a tricky one. I agree that it's relevant, but it hasn't traditionally been considered to be. And we never have access to the full story. Everyone knows from their own personal life how utterly different things can look up close than they do from afar.

It wouldn't be a surprise if Russell were the classic intellectual type with strong affections for humanity in the abstract and the people around him not so much. Champions of causes are often this way. There are incredibly striking and tragic cases of this, such as what happened between Gandhi and his oldest son. But one should especially hesitate to condemn in matters of the heart.
The idea that nerds and engineers have not gotten involved in the drug trade is really wrong. Even if you have no insider knowledge, there is overwhelming evidence of a highly sophisticated, safe, abundant and financially diverse industry. Shoot, all we need to look at is purity and availability rates of narcotics to conclude that there must be more production and distribution than the handful of super massive manufacturing facilities that we associate with major cartels. The murder rate in totality is not high enough to associate a necessary massive physical risk with involvement in the drug trade. Even if SR was 10 times as large as they were, they would still be a small fraction of the overall drug marketplace.

The second thing to keep in mind is that the drug trade is inherently tied to the physical manufacturing and trading of product. DPR built something which he could almost completely trade his physical risk, but none of the actual vendors were able to do so. Everyone of them, barring some tiny personal labs, were involved in the exact same physical drug trade on a procurement basis that every other drug merchent is involved in.

I totally agree with you :) but I'm going to play devil's advocate and tell you why I think "those" companies do it that way.

1. Getting tons of money helps the company grow/scale much faster, and gives them money to market and sell their product

2. Getting a crazy high valuation lets them get that money in #1 from investors without diluting ownership.

3. The valuation in #2 means that in case of an exit (M&A or IPO), the investors get the most returns from their investment.

So while it all obviously points at a self-created bubble, it seems to me that all the parties (founders, company, investors) want to do this to grow/exit fastest.

Clever.
Firefox treats an explicit "unknown" OCSP status as equivalent to being revoked, except we don't cache the "unknown" status.

Firefox doesn't allow the user to override "revoked." The thinking behind our cert error override strategy is that cert error overrides are intended mostly to allow the user to fix something that is probably supposed to work, but a revocation is a very explicit signal that the certificate isn't supposed to work.

Also, ensure Options -> Advanced -> Certificates -> Validation -> When an OCSP server connection fails, treat the certificate as invalid is unchecked.

> The industry and the current art form are dying.

The record selling industry is dying, correct. Music as an art form dying? What the heck are you talking about and/or smoking?

The record selling industry latched onto music, the art form. Now that it fails, it will fall off like the bloodsucking tick it always was.

Trying to draw conclusions form that for the art form itself is ludicrous.
Interesting point. AFAIK they requested the key to decrypt previous communications. From security point of view, his move makes perfect sense. If FBI wanted to decrypt future communications, they would probably have specified that in their request. Then he would indeed break court order and could be hold responsible.

On the other hand, it would be hard to prove any actual obstruction, since the service was shut down and all users notified about this whole situation.
>pg has suggested that overpaying for labor was something that only worked for the Big Three while they were in startup mode, until foreign cars became popular.

Eh, I think that we see that as a 'golden age' of good-paying unskilled labor, but that's the thing; factory work, at that time, wasn't unskilled. It didn't require a degree, but it certainly required skill. I would actually compare working in manufacturing during that 'golden age' to working in the computer industry, now; It was a new industry, and demand was so high that they didn't have the option of requiring a college education.

(I mean, I think you require different base attributes to write CRUD apps vs. be a machinist; but still, being a machinist took a significant amount of skill. And just like in the computer industry, yeah, there were jobs that most people, once adequately trained, could do. There were other jobs, just like the computer industry, which required attributes only present in a small portion of the population.)

That was part of why I went into my own story in my post; when demand for labor is really high (as it was in the computer industry in the late '90s) it makes sense for companies to hire and train; Not everyone is going to make it through the training process, and those that do are going to be able to demand a higher wage.

I am arguing that the problem now is not a lack of good-paying unskilled labor, but an overall lack of demand for labor. (Some would argue that this is instead an oversupply of labor; we've got a larger percentage of our population that expects to work outside the home for decent wages now than we did then. Personally, I would not feel okay taking that position.)

That was part of why I went into my own story in my post; when demand for labor is really high (as it was in the computer industry win the late '90s) it makes sense for companies to hire and train. When demand for labor is low compared to the number of folks who can do the job, well, you might as well take someone proven.

>It would be fascinating to watch pg discuss this with Michael Moore, because Moore seems to feel entitled to something being sustained that pg seems to argue was clearly unsustainable.

Eh, 'entitled' is... kinda putting a negative slant on it. (I mean, I think it does describe Moore's emotional approach to the problem, but I don't think it's /useful/) I think that most all of us would benefit from a higher demand for our own labor (as most of us make most of our money from labor, rather than from rented labor)

I mean, as folks in a growing, high-demand industry, we're further up the labor food chain, and you could say we have an interest in maintaining a wage differential, but the massive levels of unemployment are good for... very few of us.

The insurance isn't necessarily "spurious" if the adverse weather is an existential risk to the business, which it might be for farmers in particular. Sure, you might be better off saving to cover predictable small losses to one crop from a bad winter every few years, but it's probably practical to cover the one in 30 year drought that kills everything. You'll regret bankruptcy if the drought dries up your bank balance before you've saved enough to cover the risk so much more than the opportunity cost of paying out premiums for a drought free half-century.

Similarly, paying hefty premiums to insure cheap consumer goods like mobile phones that you could replace for the cost of 12 months premium plus excess isn't a smart move unless you're especially clumsy, forgetful or liable to be mugged. But a non-wealthy person not getting affordable insurance for lifesaving treatments[1] is crazy (even after factoring in the insurer's margin, and interest on savings you're still gambling on your lifetime treatment costs being not much above the average for a person like you and the bills not coming before you've saved enough - two things which your insurer doesn't care about at all if he's pooled risk well enough.) Not playing Russian Roulette also has a negative ROI...

As a grad student at Wash U, there's certainly feels like a lot of interaction and connection with the start-up scene here in St Louis, although I've not got involved myself. Just yesterday, there was an elevator pitch competition organized by a different entrepreneurship organization.

These are the kinds of things which aren't measured when graduate programs are evaluated, but are super important for people who don't plan to plough into academia, and maybe even more so for those who do!

There's a definitely a lot of opportunity to get non academic career path advice and experience here. A grad student in my lab did a couple of internships at Google during his PhD, which clearly is not something every program/supervisor would be cool with.
Thanks. Will look into.

Not sure about the document, but I can wager an informed guess as to what "audit activities" means.

I've gone through the Massachusetts Health application process(the model for the ACA). To qualify for subsidised healthcare, your current income cannot be more than 300% of the poverty line. If you qualify for subsidized healthcare, you are told that you must notify Mass Health if your financial situation changes.

So, if you applied for Mass Health because you lost your job, you can't stay on Mass Health when you find another one.

The lovely Mass Health bureaucrat made it clear that I was susceptible to an audit and fraud charges if I didn't report an "income event" (I believe that's what she called it) in a timely matter.

Her explanation might shed light on the phrase "audit activities". But I haven't actually read the Obamacare legislation, so I can't say for certain.
