The fully integrated experience you mention would do a lot for the Julia community in terms of gaining users tied to the GUI elements of MATLAB and VS for other languages. Integrated debugging and inspection in particular is a long-requested feature that has yet to see much attention.

Integrating with Pkg as Julia Studio does would be another important feature, as well as providing some sort of integrated plotting/graphics widget (a backend canvas along with plot navigation and image export, ideally supporting more than one of Julia's plotting backends).

I would certainly contribute to an alpha- or beta-testing effort :)
New Job? 3 Tips for Overcoming Your Fear

> No practical hashing algorithm, even Scrypt, would be able to securely hash a 4 digit PIN.

I was at first skeptical of this, but this seems right. Suppose that Samsung is willing to make it take 5 seconds for the phone to perform the hash to check the PIN (which is a ridiculously large amount of time). With 10,000 PINs you could still break it in brute force in 14 hours. And that's not even counting the difference between phone CPUs and desktop CPUs, or parallelism; in reality it would probably take an order of magnitude less time.
Here are few things I would recommend :

+ h1 tag for individual pages/contents (e.g this one : http://getinspired365.com/20130121)

+ I noticed 9 h2 tags, you can remove unnecessary headings (such as about, contact etc) or use some other tags (h3, h4 or so) as well.

+ currently the url is something like this : /ID. You can make it little better by doing something like this : /quotes/quote-title. if title seems too long you can put something else like shorter version of title or just add category-id or author-id or something like that.

+ about the pages like : /steve-jobs . The url can be improved as : steve-jobs-quotes (or something like that). And title as well (currently it shows a quote in title), something like : The Best quotes on Steve Jobs or anything like that.

+ Do some basic research on how people search for quotes and optimize those categories/pages. e.g quotes on steve jobs, best quotes on {happiness, success, ..} or so. Focus more on title and h1. And the bounce rate (IMHO it's a very important factor), so your page should load fast. You should compress and minify js-plugins/css files. (your page-speed score is 68, more here http://imgur.com/z9JvK2t )

You can use a trademark. You can't lawfully use someone else's registered trademark to sell goods/services in the same category or when there is confusion as to where the goods originate from though.

Pepsi can mention Coca Cola in their ads, they can sing and dance about them if they want to. As soon as they put it on their packets (or use other trademarks like the Coca Cola livery) and create the possibility of confusion in consumers as to whether Coca Cola made the Pepsi product or not [at least enough to convince a court] then they're in trouble and Coca Cola should be able to successfully sue.

I don't think Apple wants to hear how I was promised a Macbook as down payment for a freelance job and how the client was disappointed that I didn't work fast enough so he started screaming at me on the phone and brought me to court to get his down payment back. But when I got to court, with the macbook packed and ready to go back because I didn't want to argue, he didn't show and by default in Sweden if the other person doesn't show you win the case so it became mine. It later became my mothers for a few years before I gave her a better one and now it gathers dust at my sisters I believe. :)

Edit: I think the story of how my first boss in IT got his first Apple is much more positive. I'm not sure if it was a Mac or an Apple but he went into a computer store and saw two computers on display. One had DOS running, which as we all know is just a blinking white cursor at a prompt, and the other had a graphical desktop, with a mouse. He's not an apple person but he told me "obviously I wanted the Apple".

Looking at the very bottom of that page, I do not understand how that function would prevent ASIC mining from being significant. You still need to compute a huge number of (SHA-3) hashes, and speeding these up could still make a significant difference, couldn't it?

I guess that in the limit, the speed-up is less relative to Bitcoin-style mining. Still, as long as modern CPUs are not memory-bound during computation of such hashes, ASIC miners would still win.

They will have the more interesting technical challenge of combining integrated hashing circuits with custom memory interfaces, though ;-)

Not just in this link but in another that I cannot find, the devs seem to be leaning towards a bybrid PoW/PoS system like Peercoin.

Quote was, "We will switch our PoW from Dagger to a hybrid PoW/PoS system to be developed via a bountied competition conducted by our university partners and open to the general community for participation." from https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=428589.0;all.

Isn't this what all of us are complaining about right now? Various business segments (video games, content, video aggregation) doing the bare minimum copying existing content and monitizing it with psychological usury? Clickbait-y headlines, overly gamified games, etc. All the same thing, but they only work because they work--people clicking, paying, etc... How do we as developers deal with these segments or agents we find intellectually dishonest?
Peter,

thanks for the extensive writeup. We do have time tracking exactly in the sense which you mentioned - while someone works on a task, or when he completes it - he gets a bubble asking 'how long did it take you and what were you doing?' - then he just inputs the time taken and optionally a comment - and BAM! you can see the history of work in his profile. Plus you can see the total time/cost of each project, plus estimated time of completion for each task and project.

We do have a kanban-like board where you can specify in what exact order an employee should work on tasks.

The reporting part is not fully fleshed out yet but we will work on it as soon as we launch.

Regarding CRM - it's the first big item on our TODO list once we launch, and stabilise the system. And it will base on our internal task/discussion engine so we won't have that much work to do.

We share your opinion about the need to fully onboard users and collaborate with their existing tools. Right now we are finishing up desktop file synchro, and mobile contacts/calendars synchro. The stuff you mentioned will come next. We have a really small but very talented team and it's about time to launch at last after so many years - so we can't have everything in version 1. But we already have enough to interest people and it's comprehensive enough to satisfy all their basic needs (except CRM :).

Please sign up on our beta site and please contact me directly via contact at dynado.com if you have any additional questions. I will be very grateful for your ideas now and feedback once we launch. If you are not worried about bugs and would like to look the product sooner than we launch - please let me know.

The last tweet he posted is hilariously ironic...

IIRC, for years he actually used to make videos ridiculing girls who tried to get their pictures taken down and admitted to ignoring all takedown requests publicly so I'm surprised he lasted this long with the nature of what he was doing.

Also do a quick search for his name and 'anderson' he had an interview on anderson cooper that just makes him look and sound like an actual child.

This is but a handful of data points, but a lot of the rumblings I've heard about this whole trend have been coming from lawyers who take a specific interest in protecting free speech. This includes Marc Randazza, who was mentioned in the article. This also includes Ken White at Popehat, who has an entire tag devoted to IsAnybodyDown (a knockoff of Moore's site that added more crimes into the bargain). There's definite danger of a badly-drafted law going over the line, but it seems that it's possible to prevent the stalker-enabling crap on these sites without damaging actual speech.

It was the worst computer I ever had. Too many things to list, let me see if I remember some of them:

- power cable broke three times, it caught fire once http://lazyant.com/post/501307510/my-macbook-power-supply-cable-went-up-in-flames
- palm rest broken from regular use
- battery lasted about 3 months
- a regular OS software upgrade screwed WiFi connectivity, it would come and go. Couldn't roll back the software update, had to wait a few months for the next update
- it made a lot of noise
- etc etc

No it's not! Your browser has a UI for changing which CAs you trust. Someone took actual time design buttons and dialogs for it. It's a crappy UI and nobody uses it, but it's clear that you do not need to trust the same set of CAs as everyone else to use the Internet.

That is not at all true of DNSSEC. The DNSSEC roots are fixed. If you're not trusting the same roots as everyone else, you're not really even on the same Internet anymore.

I think it is important to draw a distinction between challenging local regulations like million dollar medallions that hurt both drivers and riders and laws that prevent companies from hurting their competitors to steal their supply, the way it happened here.

There are many companies challenging the first kind of regulation that wouldn't indulge in the breaking the second kind of law. Disclaimer: I started one of them - InstantCab, which competes directly with Uber and Gett.

> It is interesting to see that the gaming circle has decreased considerably in size over the years from 1984 to 2013 and has almost disappeared now.

>What could be probable reasons for the same?

The circles for each year are generated off of the results from the three-question survey Apple is conducting on that page (click the "Tell us about your first Mac" button below the lede). The questions are:

1. Which Mac was yours? (which determines the year)

2. Where were you? (which ostensibly determines which localized site your responses will count towards)

3. How did you use your Mac?

So the size of the gaming circle in a particular year is determined merely by the number of people who filled out that survey, self-reported that they bought their first Mac in that year, and said they used that first Mac for gaming.
How about "nothing"? There's a movement inside the IETF not to standardize any new protocols that transmit data in cleartext. TLS has already successfully demonstrated that you can run critically important protocols without trusting the DNS.

The illusion that all designers are on Mac is probably
because HNers don't often meet the ordinary designers who

somewhere far away from San Francisco.

Out here in the midwest, every design freelancer I've known has had a Mac, without exception. Every small-biz graphic design studio or ad agency I've come into contact with has been a Mac shop.

3D artists, however, have been just as consistently Windows-based. I've never met a single one of them with a Mac.
As you pointed out, you did 'pay' for the software, because its wrapped up into the hardware cost.

My point is that it is not 'free' in that you can't freely download and install it onto a computer ala Linux/unix. You can not sell new computers with OSX preinstalled. That more or less defines that it is not 'free' when compared with an actual free OS.

Not being able to buy a license without the hardware doesn't make it free. It just makes it tied to the hardware. There is still a EULA (End User License Agreement) and thus a License.
If all of my software remains free, then yes. I am using a Hackintosh to continue porting my software to OS X, but obviously I can't and won't release any software built on an untrusted system, so everything is source-only. If I ever decide to sell a product, then my personal grievances will be irrelevant and I'll have to buy another.

When it was running, it was a nice, sleek, quiet, fast, low-power system. I did not enjoy developing on it at all, but web browsing/movie playing/music playing/chatting was very nice and polished. I realize my experiences may not be the norm, but it has shattered my perception of, "you pay for hardware quality." All of the parts inside were stock Samsung HDD/no-name RAM/etc, and the cooling system was clearly compromised for form over function. No, you're really only paying for the ability to load OS X without relying on sketchy third-party cracks. I will definitely be buying their top-end AppleCare warranty if I ever do purchase another Mac.

Underdog Squirrel Rockets Out of Dog's Paws (Doberman POV GoPro)
The problem I see is nearly every nation's economic policy is forced inflation. Government debt, bonds, the stock market, retirement accounts, banking, GDP growth -- all have a deep reliance on continual inflation.

GDP juicing inflation is on a collision course with technology. Moore's law or not, science and technology advance by making things cheaper at an exponential scale - computational power, DNA sequencing, etc. As business now becomes closely integrated to science and technology now deflationary forces are being harnessed.

I suppose there are three views on fighting poverty. Reality likely is a mix of the last two. One sees billions of people consuming at a first-world level. Obviously impossible. The second sees the worlds population decreased dramatically. That is somewhere between disturbing and terrifying. The third involves a massive deflation in the cost of living by providing goods and services extremely cheaply (and I would also add sustainably.)

That third path will be a major shock to those in the first world who believed their skill sets made them members of the world's 1%.
You're doing fine so far. The thing that breaks symmetry in the twin paradox is that one twin accelerates (and observes, in effect, time passing very fast in the outside universe as they do so), and the other does not.

DNSCurve doesn't authenticate DNS data. It authenticates the connection between the client and the server. It does that because authenticating the data requires boiling the ocean by getting a huge portion of the Internet to agree on and implement a scheme to authenticate data, and authenticating individual connections works even if you and your server are the only people who agree to do it. DNSCurve solves a less ambitious problem than DNSSEC does, but that problem is (a) the most important problem in DNS security and (b) actually solvable, unlike the DNSSEC problem.
It uses some API which I think fails.
