It's a good idea, but I think that the reaction to "submit your password" is going to be negative.
I see. We can't provide secrecy, but I think we can provide some level of deniability, and also make it a pain for those who are surveilling.

I'm not aware of any application that provides secrecy besides BitMessage. Are there others?
"you should not judge RinohType on the basis of the example documents for now. I hope you'll understand that at this point I'm focusing on functionality, not on style."

Then please be more honest. It's not "A modern LaTeX in 6500 lines of Python" -- it's 6500 lines of Python implementing a typesetting language with vastly inferior to TeX, or even Microsoft Word. It may have a syntax more comfortable to Python or Ruby programmers. Just say what you've done.
Have you set the configuration option that is used by mercurial to find the ssh program to use for ssh operations?

also,

HG requires the path to the repo as one relative to the home folder of the user. ie, if you are logging in as silhouette and your repo is located in /home/silhouette/projects/myproject then the command to push to this repo would be

hg push ssh://silhouette@192.168.1.10/projects/myproject

and if you project was in /var/www/projects/myproject then it would be

hg push ssh://silhouette@192.168.1.10/../../var/www/projects/myproject

No; the defending champion automatically plays in the World Chess Championship. The problem with the champion playing in the candidates matches is that the champion and the candidate will play each other before the championship title match, which kind of kills the hype.

Chess is more about the games than the outcomes. While drawing to keep your title doesn't seem fun from a statistical standpoint, the draws, in this case, are often hard-won.

Even more interesting is that one of the reasons that Carlsen has progressed so amazingly is that he has been known to play on in positions where most grandmasters would agree to a draw.
I'm sure others will give you details about information you could provide but I'll give you some feedback design wise. First of all the Facebook button just looks odd, it could be my browser but the "F" looks really weird and doesn't look like a normal Facebook button. Also the bouncing learn more is distracting. I like the midsection quite a lot and the details are great. I guess the header section could still use some work.

Sadly, this isn't a provider of "secure email", but a "secure" "email provider". Merely encrypting things at rest doesn't solve the reality of why email is insecure: email is insecure not because it's easy to hack into a server and read somebody's mailbox, but because it's easy to intercept huge amounts of email traffic very cheaply...

Having said that, cute interface and effort.

I think you have unintentionally predicted exactly what will happen.
This was kind of a bad earnings quarter for many companies. Facebook and Apple both beat revenue targets, but some other data such as margins (for apple) and popularity with teens spooked investors. My guess is after 6 months of steady growth on tech stocks, many investors are exiting with their gains.
This is more about the government trying get its share of the pie and control and monitor bitcoin. Inherent in the philosophy of bitcoin is a society where no central authority can control the means of exchange.
I think the more control the governments puts around bitcoin the more people will be driven to alternative crypto-currencies...

Regarding 1/2 points for drawing: the "masters' draw" (where on the last days to positions draw after the opening to cement their positions) is a cancer to tournaments, perhaps 0.25 points for drawing or similar will help a bit.
> do you have anything at all to corroborate your speculation in an area which you admit you have no expertise?

No. I've talked to lawyers in a non-client capacity and they all agreed that taking down a warrant canary after receiving a NSL would probably be viewed as equivalent to a straightforward disclosure, since you deliberately put yourself in that situation. There is no relevant case law that I am aware of.
This is like printing "may contain arsenic" on candy.
All the same defen admitted it was speculation and that he's not a lawyer, so, it's opinion. Perhaps his opinion is "worthless" too, but since he gave you his (lack of) credentials you can judge for yourself.

I get so tired of the "you need to quote sources" in simple commentary.
Oh don't be so simple.

There's a worry Tesla is hiding softening sales. They had the capacity to produce 7150 cars this quarter but only sold 5550, a difference of 1650. Some of those cars are en route to Europe, but still, the number seems high. Talking about producing vehicles for internal use and marketing purposes, along with increased investment in new models and versions, can be interpreted as "our U.S. sales are softening unexpectedly." However, it does seem a stretch to draw those kinds of conclusions.

Quite amazing, I predict this will have a big impact on gaming. It basicly means that games can be delivered from the cloud, and it seems quite plausible, this is how games will be delivered in the near future.

For the consumer it means you dont have to buy games, you can subscribe to a service and rent them. For the game developers, it means they don't have to worry about illegal copies.
Hand it to an iPhone user and they'll complain about lag. I'm not sure if it's bias or actual lagginess. I haven't noticed real lag on the phones since the Galaxy S2.
I suppose it depends upon what the definition of "lag" is. If it's a 50ms difference in touch response on some devices, that is quite a change from the historic meaning of lag.

Lag historically was a significant delay between interaction and response. It was also continual stutters and variances in interaction speeds.

But by Android 4.4 and the N5, that is generally annihilated. Paradoxically at the same time iOS 7 on my 3rd generation iPad has brought Android 2.x-style lag to that platform -- I now have an experience on it where keyboard presses respond 700ms later, and other activities have completely unpredictable delays.
Good, I hope the stock falls further so I can buy back in.

I don't think the existence of ELO means we should make more use of it - rather, it means we don't need a world championship if the objective is to measure who is best in the win=1 draw=0.5 loss=0 scheme of things (this is, I think, part of Someone's point above). Everyone in the chess world knows Carlsen is the better player, even before we know the results of this match. Likewise, we knew Kasparov and Fischer were the better players. But the matches against Karpov and Spassky were still phenomenal, because they involved psychological and technical depth that couldn't have existed in a mere "tally up the [bigger tournament/overall rating] points" system.

Also, 1-vs-1 gets beyond the ongoing debate about whether draws should count for 0.5 or less, which is nice. More specifically, the question of whether and how to reward being consistent (many draws, few wins and fewer losses) but rarely brilliant versus uneven but generally great isn't as pressing in a match, since it'd (likely) end up not mattering.

You've a good point about the EMR charge - that's easy to overlook.

I took a look at Whirr [1] but I don't see how having a cloud-agnostic platform helps - are there really alternatives to EMR out there? Can they give me 500+ cc2.8xlarge equivalent machines on-demand but at spot prices?

I think I agree. Just saying what my understanding of the assertion was. Basically, that there are only so many "meaningful" positions on the board. And at the upper levels, the question becomes more of how many of those positions have you memorized. Not, "how does your opponent play?"

As opposed to a game such as tennis. Where you really have to consider not just what you are capable of against a volley, but what your opponent will do with it.

Nothing is wrong with the path these students are choosing, I just don't see business analysts creating specs or writing user stories in the same competition for career roles as myself. Even though I intend to stay in the midwest and generally detest the culture of excess in the valley I was replying to the parent saying the influx of people learning to write "hello world" in java and make visio diagrams or project workflows won't have a measurable impact on the people currently making money building productive software (regardless of weather that software is immaculately well structured or a snarling mess of perpetual spaghetti) .

I did a drop in replacement of s3cmd by aws s3 and the end result was much better performance, no issues.

Also the 's3cmd sync' and 'aws s3 sync' commands don't have exactly the same heuristic so switching caused a one-time resync of everything.

Well I would deal with that problem in an entirely different way. Courts should not have the power to compel either party in a private communication to keep records of what was said/transmitted.
You make a good point. It will still be quite appealing to game companies though.

Gen Y here and yes the OP nails it, but I wonder what's left for us second and third worlders. Things are much worse here, you truly can't trust the authorities at all.

The situation is, short version, 10x worse than any point made by OP. The only exception would be the sprawl: there is some here, but not the madness I have seen over there in the USA. Still public transportation even in the best case is a complete disaster so there's that.

Owning a car is a luxury, and owning real estate basically impossible for any Y Gen without wealthy parents or some previous financial advantage. Credit is a joke and don't even dream you will be able to save enough for even a studio apartment. Square meter prices dwarf any but the highest paychecks.

Tesla's stock price at present reflects and is driven primarily by the exuberant optimism of its shareholders, not by mundane financial details like how many millions the company lost or how many cars were sold last quarter.

Consider that despite today's drop, the stock price has gone up 4.6x this year (from $33.87 at year-end 2012 to around $155 right now), but over the same period the company's quarterly revenues have increased only 1.4x (from $306 million in Q4 2012 to $431 million in Q3 2013).[1]

The future of a young, highly innovative company like Tesla is so uncertain that shareholders have little choice but to rely primarily on speculation and emotion rather than on analysis of (limited) facts to estimate the present value of the business.

I generally consider myself a part of the more libertarian wing of the Democratic Party. But as a thought experiment, lets say that one airline was given clearance by the FAA to exempt its passengers from TSA screenings. Or, alternately, simply assume this airline allowed war clubs such as the one above to be brought onboard, while some sort of pre-9/11 security screening system was in place.

Would you choose to fly on that airline?

Either situation would certainly raise concerns in my mind, regardless of my emotional reactions to TSA screenings and that sort of thing.
Let's try to keep things friendly, or at least correct. We haven't refused anything. Everything is on the table.

Of course I read it. Just like I watched all of his videos. There is no substance. Of course he was able to create information theory because of calculus, probability, stochastic processes, and graph theory. Yet for none of those did he need Brett Victor's cute little animations. I am merely stating that Brett is adding nothing to the equation here.
How in the world is this the top upvoted response? All of this is either nitpicking, arguing over the meaning of words when the intended meaning is perfectly clear, stating an opinion without argumentation, and the rest is just plain false.

When compared to implementing ACID transaction, implementing polyglot data structure is trivial work.

Whether it is from dealing legally in bitcoins or undergoing HFT transactions where exchanges can selectively declare self-help, or new financial tools/instruments, the people with the ability to leverage technology in ways where there will be little to no technical capabilities to enforce regulation (due to it's newness) will have more incentive to work outside of governments. By the time government has caught up to the problem, people would have innovated and pushing the bar higher.

But on the global economy, a lot of emerging economies have been hit hard, and the schizo of the market on taper/no-taper utterings tells me this book is still open.
I think you don't understand the physics of the process in the plate video. The material is irrelevant. If you're inducing vibrational nodes in an object, where those nodes occur will are a function of 1) the fundamental frequency of the pure tone, and 2) the shape of the object. If you supply it with a sound that is more than one frequency, it is highly unlikely you will see anything, and even if you do, the overall shape of the pattern has a larger "shape of the object" character than "shape of the frequency" character.

If the plate is a circle, the vibrational nodes that you will see will 100% be circular and "totally boring". If, however, the shape is a rounded rectangle, you might see "something interesting", but that's cheating, because the the interesting shapes have to do with the fact that your plate is a rounded rectangle and not to do with the actual components of the sound that you're putting in.

"Muro is a social event photography platform that allows you to connect and share with others at who are at the same event as you."

You should modify the last subheading to begin with a verb as you do for the first three; otherwise you disrupt the flow of the step-by-step process.
ie: "View everyone's photos together."

Have the screenshot on the phone itself transition and the phone background persist.

*edit for clarity
I agree with a lot of the other thoughts. Specifically, the first paragraph needs to be shorter and clearer. (There is also a typo in it "...with others at who are at the same event...")

Also, I would suggest changing the main button from "Register" to "Get Started" or something else.
A developer who is seeing "dark clouds" and other doomsday scenarios at release of a nice open sourced package not using or participating in a community is an asset to that community.

Think big start small

Startup != Small Business

However, when we are still small, especially when we are learning and practicing the business strategies and tactics, we are considered as small business, even not business. Why start up company is not equal to small business?

The primary answer is every startup company has its big vision/mission and aim to be big. However, we have to start small and focus on the niche market, as I was told many times.

I wish I had a small product to show people and to make money quickly. Every time when I need to introduce myself to other people about what I'm doing, they looked at me with their eyes widely open and ask: do you want to compete with Google? I met one of them in the social networking event and he said: "You need a coach."

But I told him I do not need a coach, I need a business partner to market my product. So I sent him emails about "What qualifies me as a potential leader in the industry?" He responded with nothing but "You need a coach". Thanks, I'm coached. So I have to start small. Let's start from the ground up and have an attitude down to the earth. Roll up your sleeves and get our hands dirty to solve some real world problems now.

Check out http://daveyeu.com/ops-for-little-babies/ -- the transitions make it a bit slow to get through, but the content is worth it.

His argument is: start on Heroku until you realize you can get 10x to 100x better performance running on AWS directly, move to AWS, but then you have to do your own monitoring, logging, deployment, upgrades, load balancing, database maintenance, etc.

As far as non-AWS, there's no need to be scared of "real" servers. You'll often get stronger hardware (minus those crazy 100+ GB VMs), cheaper transit (100TB included in a $200/month server), cheap dedicated IPs, and custom IPv6/VLANs/ACLs if needed.

At this point, Ruby is like AWS. People just do it because everybody just does it. "Why is everybody using Ruby when it's slow, has an implementation dictated by implementation instead of specification, and has multiple competing runtimes in an attempt to fix flaws in the primary implementation?" People latch on to the hype and forget to evaluate reality after a while.

Just to take this to an extreme: what's there to stop the government from systematically killing Americans who voice opposition to the NSA spying? Assume a secret court decides that the NSA can arbitrarily label any American as a 'terrorist' and that killing terrorists without a trial is a-ok. Let's also assume that anyone who knows about this program and leaks the information about how it works to anyone else is a 'terrorist' in this system.

That seems to be the same line of reasoning that the government is using for these gag orders (just taken to the most extreme case possible). There's no recourse to challenge any of this since none of the companies can talk about specifics of what they're compelled to do.
Would you choose to fly on that airline?
