Ask HN: how to tear down G+ public page to avoid social engineering
I'm trying to delete all G+ content, all that data linked to my public name makes social engineering too easy. I can protect myself but I don't want people who know me to be affected.

The last bits still public are the "Have them in circles" block, which shows all the people who know me. Is it possible to either hide or remove this information ?

Thank you
Some people do sell their food stamps (at a discount) for cash: http://www.kpho.com/story/23509709/food-stamp-recipients-sel... But that's an illegal abuse of the program.

If anything, it's an argument in favor of replacing current welfare programs with unconditional cash transfers.
Some things that may explain things:

According to ahrefs, the number of referring pages (a big factor search results) dropped from about 22k pages to well under 1k over the course of 2 months starting at the end of march (source: https://ahrefs.com/site-explorer/overview/subdomains/www.por...).

Additionally, it seems the site does show up in Google search results on the 10th page (https://encrypted.google.com/search?hl=en&q=photo%20quilts#h...).

I'll be honest, I don't understand what exactly that means, but it seems to have happened at around the same timeframe that you're referring to (5 or 6 months ago), so I'm going to bet it's a factor.

Hope you figure it out - the whole search engine algorithm thing is really complex.

But, honestly, I don't believe that Google just stopped working for a single domain. The more likely scenario is that something you/your sister is unaware of changed and had a large negative result.
> It turns out that for those of us who believe there's a reasonable likelihood (25% or greater) that bitcoins will be very high ($1 million or higher) over its lifetime

If you're gambling on the hope that all of M1 in the world will be replaced by Bitcoin and actually have come up with any sort of likelihood of that happening then you should reevaluate your ability to have ideas. In your case you think the likelihood is "25% or greater" which is to say you've got some probability distribution of probabilities -- that's not how reasoning about probability works in any high-functioning investing mind. Why can't you just collapse that to an actual percentage? Because it's all just made-up numbers.
I'm in a quite similar situation. I'm a graduate student in Europe, currently trying to get an internship in the US - and trust me, I know about the black-holes.

I have a few years of professional experience in design and marketing but decided that it's not what I want to do for the rest of my life. So I started studying for a interdisciplinary degree in Digital Media / Computer Science and really love it. My grades are good and I finished a few projects that I'm quite proud of. A few days ago, I started applying for working student positions at tech companies and startups in the city where I just moved for my graduate studies, and most of them invited me for an interview right away. So i guess that my CV/Resume can't be too bad either. But companies in the US? I guess that me being from outside of the US in combination with my "weird" interdisciplinary studies is just too inconvenient for most US companies.

You didn't mention where you're originally from. Getting a job there is probably much easier. May I ask why you absolutely have to stay in the US after graduation?

Anyway, good luck!

That's how I looked at it. Buy a nice graphics card for gaming, use it for gaming and computational experiments, and have it mine while idling to regulate the heat in my apartment for cheap, or even at a small profit.

I'd happily share 99% (maybe even all) of my life with the whole world, every step taken and every breath taken, but that would be on my terms. (I kinda am, by agreeing to everything Google asks of me)

Would James Buchanan have a chance at becoming the President of the Unites States in today's society? Assuming he actually was gay: would a 2013 version of James Buchanan be able to keep that a secret if the right person in the right chain of command happened to be ill-willed?
It's not even about the surveillance state. You never know what will happen in the future and who will use the information. Maybe you're happy with the code you write now, but in 5 years you may regret publishing it for everyone to laugh about. I'm old enough that there are some pretty embarassing usenet posts from me archived forever. Luckily they take quite a while to find nowadays, but I've certainly learnt my lesson.
Yep ... I know that eye glasses and cataract surgery were done there first (the ruined lens was poked out of place with a copper wire, then a pair of glasses became the primary lens and the cornea became the secondary lens). And obviously you needed to be able to produce glass to make eye glasses. There was also early production of stainless steel.

I'm not as well-versed in Indian history as I should be ... with that kind of science, you would have expected a dominant technical culture but why was this knowledge lost instead?
Yes, I literally mean from source.

The source, in turn, can either 1) specify a base image to start from (keeping in mind the base image can recursively be itself built from source), or 2) start from scratch and contain all the starting bits.

Of course there is always a "turtle at the bottom". That problem exists regardless of Docker - for example when you download binary packages from an apt mirror, that package has been built from source - but on which build environment exactly, with which build dependencies etc? Docker simply makes this question more explicit by forcing you to ask that question every step of the way - what is the base? - instead of sweeping it under the rug, which we do every day when we install binary packages.

What we're doing for the docker standard library is exposing exactly what the turtles at the bottom are: https://github.com/dotcloud/stackbrew/tree/master/library
The first line of defense is simply to up-vote posts like this on HN and Reddit, as well as posting to Twitter and Facebook. The more people who know about it, the more fuss we create. I know that's not much, but it's how we've beaten greedy initiatives like this in the past (SOPA).

I agree with you though, if it were made dead simple to contribute in some way towards an initiative against this specific bill and others like it, I'd of course donate.
It dances?!?

Damn you Google Chrome. I thought of switching back to Firefox due to privacy concerns, but got accustomed to Chrome's dev tools. But then this happens... that might be the final straw.
The question WAS absurd given the context. He clearly explains right before that he does it because he enjoys doing the job - he enjoys trolling people, and he enjoys the money. He isn't doing it because he has some sick set of principles. He is NOT for instance saying that all pictures of naked people should be posted on-line or anything like that. So if he's doing it completely for his own enjoyment, why would he post pictures of his naked mom or sister? Why would he want to troll himself? Like he says, that doesn't make any sense.

The fact that Garfield didn't try to understand his motivations was what shocked him. Garfield's attempt at painting him as a sociopath was a wonderful piece of editing (and frankly defamation). Unfortunately OTM does this all the time. They feign objectivity for most of the interview, and then generally towards the end they editorialize in some small way so that they don't come off as sympathetic.

That's because most people reason by anecdote rather than actual statistics, sad but in my experience true.
I think the straw man is re-framing the "college is too expensive compared to what how it benefits your life later on and compared to how expensive it obviously could be (tuition prices outpacing inflation by extreme amounts over the last 25 years show this)" to be "college is too expensive compared to the cost of the services provided while you are there".

I don't know that I'd call it a strawman myself, but I like Ariely's writing so I'm biased. It's certainly not quite the same issue as the one being debated currently.
IMO all things of importance fall into two categories 1) it can be sent electronically or 2) it is important enough to go get it from a central location (be it central boxes or a depot for bigger items).

Additionally: If mobility is an issue and its a good that must come physically to you (prescription for example), then its of value to pay UPS/Fedex/DHL/Competitor to come to your door.

and they could price that into the model. A person's price is $50/month - $10 per neighbor that is signed up.
> It's only optimizing for happiness, based on expected outcomes. The only thing that might be crazy are the numeric expectations

The craziness is doing it with one asset and trying to maximize happiness based on assumptions about that asset and not with all possible alternative assets and trying to maximize overall happiness.

Well, one part of the craziness.

Really, what you should be doing is considering (1) overall returns of competing investments, (2) overall risk of competing investments, and (3) the degree to which those risks are independent, and (4) your own sensitivity to risk, and then combine assets and allocate investment funds among them so as to, achieve the maximum expected return possible with enough diversification to acheive a risk profile you are willing to accept.
I'd love for you to ask the person what she would think about you sharing her diary with everyone she knows (her family, her coworkers, her boss etc). Would it be equally meaningless and uninteresting to them?
You shouldn't invest nearly all of your savings in anything; the most basic of investing advice is diversify and don't invest what you can't afford to lose.

You are vastly overestimating how happy millions of dollars will make you. Google around a little and you might actually put a negative number on it.

If you get the numbers right, you will arrive at the same advice any financial advisor would give you: in something as novel and hard to price as bitcoin, only invest risk capital, defined as money you could lose in its entirety and still have a sound financial plan.

Don't like what I said? Neither do I! But, tell me, in specific, concrete terms, what can "the little guy" do about this? Nothing, except for opting out. E.g. using Ooma instead of ILEC dialtone. Use Netflix instead of a cable subscription. Big deal. You're still buying IP dialtone from the oligopoly. And the number of cord cutters is still relatively insignificant.

how about exporting/saving/backing up to a cloud storage provider like skydrive/dropbox. That should remove the need to maintain accounts.
You can use the javascript dropbox sdk to replicate/backup the local storage file onto the cloud.
When a user accesses it via some other computer, simple ask him to login to his dropbox account and you can sync the local storage once the access is available.

Problem is that anyone could come up with the concept of the atom, and even relativity is not beyond the bounds of possibility. We are all genetically identical to the earliest Homo Sapiens who left Africa. And the ones who stayed in Africa. Any one of those people who had the fortune to have a life of diverse experience and the spare time needed to think about things, would have discovered any number of supposedly modern things. They might have even written about it 10,000 years ago on parchment or leaves which have long since disappeared.

But we have no evidence of any of this, and therefore we claim that it did not happen. That is not a very rational position to take. It should be clear by now that wonderfuly discoveries often happen in parallel in different geographical locations. Sometimes they are almost forgotten for generations until a historian discovers old documents. There is no good reason to believe that this kind of thing has been going on since Homo Sapiens first came to be.

The only real advantage that we have today is the law of large numbers and the network effect.

That quote doesn't really work for me, because it seems to be assuming that no other lines are available to provide context.

Or rather, instead of meaning "everybody is guilty of something", I interpret the message as warning about the dangers of relying on a quote taken out of context.
> For example, HTML is why Gmail paginates about as well as PHP app from 1998, instead of allowing you to just scroll through all of them like a native client.

No, its not. HTML + JS, via AJAX, supports infinite scroll with a finite amount loaded at any given time. IIRC, Google has used that on Google Image Search and some other properties.

There may be web platform associated performance or other considerations behind pagination, but its not a fundamental can't-do limit of the technology.

A significant portion is doled out in 5-7 figure grants to research laboratories for a particular research project with a 2-5 year time-horizon. The projects are proposed by a PI (a researcher), and conducted by students, postdocs, or other scientists. The money goes directly to equipment, materials and sometimes salaries or stipends in order to undertake the particular research project. The materials can be anything from tissue-culture materials, to DNA sequencing, to microscopy equipment, to anything else required to achieve the proposed research goal. And all of that is pricy.

The state of this situation is getting worse, actually; remember that net neutrality lawsuit Verizon is trying to push through? Their lawyers made it clear they want not just to prioritize traffic, but to block some altogether.

So really, short of getting your service from infrastructure laid down directly by a CLEC, there really is no opting out. That's why I still say writing a letter of concern is the very least you can do.

EDIT: It's worth mentioning here that not all regulators are spineless. Pay attention to how New York is handling the Fire Island case. After Verizon refused to install new infrastructure (offering them wireless service as a substitute), some of the state officials proposed fines of somewhere in the six figures per customer. Verizon buckled under the pressure, and wired the whole island for FiOS.

It gets better too; despite Verizon's protests, the state is launching an investigation into how much it costs them to provide wireline service.

So seriously, please don't be apathetic about this. The people of Fire Island weren't, and it seems to have worked out for them.
Is 'up my sleeve' also a hint about where the pointing-device interfaces with the body?

Agreed. I think even arguing this point shows a lack of understanding of how these cases work. Believing that information equality is the same as power equality is a fallacy.

Since you've shared that anecdote, may I ask why you chose to go to such a university? I'm guessing it's probably a religious university (don't know of any non-religious schools with such strictures). Was it for spiritual reasons, or for financial reasons?

Personal question, obviously, so feel free to tell me to shove off, but I'm very curious how intelligent people make these decisions.
I looked up the sparse FFT, which this is about. It looks like a nice transform, but I think this article misrepresented it a bit. The article makes it sound like they found a new, much faster alternative to the FFT. In fact, their algorithm allows you to compute a limited part of the spectrum if you know the signal is sparse in the frequency domain. Most of the uses for the FFT are not sparse, so this is a special-purpose transform.

Re the dress example: true, but it's a broadly understood sigil for victim-blaming, which is the issue under discussion, not which specific excuse a notional rapist might use.

The main use case is doing maintenance on the host machine without incurring planned downtime.

E.g. You may have multiple VMs running applications like sharepoint, exchange, zimbra, or whatever, all on a host. You want to perform some planned maintenance on the host, e.g. update the firmware, add memory, upgrade the hypervisor, etc. You place the host in maintenance mode and the VMs are migrated off the host onto another one within the cluster without having to resort to planned downtime.
> Problem is that anyone could come up with the concept of the atom, and even relativity is not beyond the bounds of possibility. We are all genetically identical to the earliest Homo Sapiens who left Africa. And the ones who stayed in Africa.

The last sentence is manifestly not true (we're not even genetically identical to each other, much less all of us to the earliest example of H. Sapiens, or even the earliest examples of H. Sapiens sapiens.)

And even if it was, the first doesn't follow from it: intellectual capacity may have an upper bound set by genetics, but realizing it is more than genetics, its environment starting in the vary early environment.

And nutrition is, manifestly, a big part of that.

> The only real advantage that we have today is the law of large numbers and the network effect.

And lots of other things; to name just one key one, the adoption of the scientific method which does a lot to help identify the useful ideas from the attractive-but-useless ones. Even if we were no better at thinking up ideas, we are a lot better at validating ideas, and its not just through numbers, its through approach. Because of an idea that was thought up, and widely adopted.

Just a sidenote; TOS are not concrete law-binding forces. You can't put "unreasonable" things in a ToS. If MS dropped a gamer's subscription because she complained about XboxLive on her Twitter, she could take action against MS and have a chance of winning if a Judge says "You can't tell people not to complain". Also, I'd be very annoyed if I ever heard of a company dropping customers who complain about them. I think that's unreasonable. Every successful company I've ever heard of has complaints about them.

NOTE: A "normal" complaint is different from outright excessive/exaggerated slander.
Well said, there may be legitimate reasons to keep secrets but secrets for their own sake are bullshit and make the world worse.
