In and off itself, yes. But education is far from impotent in changing the world - would you consider someone to be properly educated if they had only stayed at home and only fed on data rather than experiencing the world outside?

How many wars might we prevent in the future by fostering a sense of world citizenship rather than nationalism, by encouraging greater understanding of humanities shared nature and of the need for us all to work together to properly use the resources we have?
In a nutshell, the flow control algorithm was designed with trustworthy peers in mind and buffering on a node was controlled by signals sent by its peers. This allowed a misbehaving peer to spam buffer commands, exhausting available memory on the target node. An attacker who carefully chose their targets could force a TOR user to use a specific route, thereby de-anonymizing them.

Really just seems like TOR's version of slowloris. I'm rather disappointed they didn't call it slowtoris.

Mindset for Overcoming Depression
We're keeping our code as discreet components, each component has it's own folder in which you'll find the js, html and _scss file for that component only. The js file contains the directive and the controller, and the html is pulled in using require.js' text plugin.

Then the controllers.js file only handles the routing controllers, and the html for each route is built solely out of components.

I resisted using require at first because it seemed like clunky cruft on top of Angular's cruftless dependency injection, but I was wrong and this way of working has been a lot of fun, relatively stress free and great for new devs since they just need to get their head around the way a component is put together and they never have to worry about other parts of the app.

Interesting comments about GitHub. What do you think about using GitHub for code hosting and issue tracking but having a separate website that you want to be the main presence for a project? I've literally just done that while Open Sourcing a successful project I've been working on for almost 2 years.
I've been getting Xyrem from a central pharmacy for a while now and it's awesome that I can call one day and have my medicine arrive the next day via FedEx. Being able to get all medications with the same convenience as Amazon Prime is awesome. If this doesn't get hit with any regulatory issues, I can totally see Amazon knocking on their door one day and making an acquisition offer.

We'll still need pharmacies for immediate medical needs that can't wait a day, but for everything else this is great.

I now just wish ordering wines and spirits online wasn't fraud with regulatory hurdles paying local retail at BevMo is a lot less attractive than being able to get your favorite bottle of small batch bourbon delivered to your front-door.

> we do not approve of rape under any circumstances

In the U.S. people actively encourage rape in prison as a form of revenge, even an inherent part of incarceration. Especially if the person being incarcerated did something that fits the common definition of "wrong", like robbing someone at gunpoint, carjacking, murder, drug trafficking, or rape. How much sympathy do people usually have for a rapist being raped in prison? Or a child molester?

That's approval waiting for a chance to surface, because someone "deserved it", and it's not even close to being isolated to prisoners or criminals either, that attitude is horrifically common.
I recommend this read on the topic.

Netflix’s ‘House Of Cards’ Renewed For Third Season
Netflix is confirming that it has officially picked up a third season of House Of Cards. This marks the first renewal for the Washington DC drama, which originally landed at the streaming company with a straight-to-series two-season order. The deal for a third season comes after months of negotiations and ahead of House Of Cards’ second-season debut next week. “Our intent is that the show keep going for sure,” Netflix‘s Ted Sarandos said back in October. “It was a 26-episode commitment. It was not our intent that it just run for two seasons.” House Of Cards has become a signature series for Netflix the way Mad Men has been for AMC. It put the streaming service on the original programming map and opened the door to creators and producers. Netflix’s follow-up series, Hemlock Grove and Orange Is The New Black, both have been renewed for a second season, and Netflix is continuing negotiations for another installment — episodes or movie — of Arrested Development. Netflix’s $100 million commitment to MRC-produced House Of Cards off of a pitch raised eyebrows at the time as one of the biggest gambles in recent TV history, with the streaming giant outbidding a bevvy of TV heavy hitters. Netflix recently made another gigantic commitment to four series and a miniseries from Marvel.
To clear up your points: the missed payment in question was not for a single starship but for the structure that designates control over a system. Simplified, the mechanics are such that so long as this structure exists taking the system is a difficult affair that favors the defender (structures have huge amounts of hp and then a invulnerability timer that gives defenders hours to realize they are being attacked and mount a retaliation). However, fail to put the resources into it and the time consuming step of removing sovereignty from a system is removed and the battle is more equal for both parties.

The way EvE is structured lends itself to shifts in the balance of power. Just because one faction is on top today doesn't mean they will hold their position indefinitely. The victors here, for example, come from much humbler roots and, when they entered the game, played a crucial part is annihilating the current ruling power.
8 Simple Copywriting Tips, Backed By Science – The Buffer Blog
But not as simple as working on a project with data bindings that are just a template and an object, eg, ractive.
The whole thing is a joke. All of the big tech companies leak like sieves and it hurts nothing. MapReduce? BigTable? GFS? Hardly secrets at the time they were being worked on, not secret at all by the time they were in use, and completely public knowledge very shortly afterwards (not a "better part of a decade" like the comment above talks about). Same is true of virtually every project of note.

The vast majority of these projects wouldn't even help a competitor if you begged them to use it. Heck, a lot of these top secret skunkworks projects end up hurting the companies they're built for. They're unpolished, highly proprietary, and shoved down people's throats. The difference is often just that they're somewhat hidden causing people outside ascribe magic powers to them.

It's no wonder at all why companies foster secrecy. It makes everyone feel special and important. Good for morale and it costs nothing. Still a total load of bs 99% of the time.
My anecdotal experience at Guangzhou (2 months ago), flying internationally, was the opposite. Didn't have to remove shoes, didn't have to take my laptop out of my bag. I was going to remove my belt before going through the metal detector but they told me not to, which set off the alarm. All they did was wave a handheld metal detector over my body and then I was through. Didn't get patted down and didn't have to go through a body scanner.
I'm trying the product out myself right now, it scratches an itch I've had for a while. Starting on Free plan, might upgrade to paid.

I'm not sure what "team features" are on the Team plan that would warrant such a huge jump in cost. You might want to elaborate on that.
> "Hell, just learning to fly one of those monsters can take months of training time, and skill books that themselves carry price tags in the billions of ISK."

Is this training for the player, or training for the player's character? The skill books I assume are for the player's character, but are the ships hard for the player themself to fly?
I wonder how long that will go on being true. It was once the case that you had to have served in the military too, even if only as a reservist (Bush II). But Clinton was a draft dodger and Obama prefers to send in the drones. One day America will elect a woman president, then a gay president, then a lesbian president.

I'm always the guy who stands up for Facebook UI updates, so why do I hate Paper so much?

I think it's the fact that I am forced to touch, and swipe through stories I don't give a shit about. At all. Does anyone who is fellating the Paper UI actually use Facebook? You sure you really want to pan through hundreds of uninteresting posts...because it looks cool? I don't. I love the transitions and how responsive the UI is, but would I use this to take an overview of my friend's activity? Unlikely.

I've used Angular for five weeks and ractive for five months.

I Googled about 30x more frequently when using Angular.
For quite a long time, there was a Linksys WRT model that remained in production long after its useful life (because it had old radio standards and was slow and because newer devices were much cheaper with greater capabilities) because it ran Linux, and could be hacked very easily and could use all Open Source drivers and such. It's even where "OpenWRT" got the WRT in its name.

So, there's definitely a market for it. But, I don't know that it's comparable to the market for consumer oriented devices. It'd be nice if consumers were smarter and knew enough to demand this kind of thing.

It'd be really nice if one could go to the store and buy a router running OpenWRT or Tomato or whatever, like you can go to the store and ask for an Android phone or a Windows PC. As operating systems go, many current routers are probably more complex than DOS or early Windows versions and certainly more complex than many early phone operating systems. Not sure why nobody has thought to make the OS a competitive factor for routers.

True - it doesn't reduce the patent threat for smaller players. But it does limit the dominance of any one big player and provide more opportunities for smaller players to participate.
http://plnkr.co is an Angular app used by many Angular users. I would say it has a more sizable codebase than most open-source Angular projects.

The organization that has worked for me (at this scale) can be seen at: https://github.com/filearts/plunker_www/tree/master/assets/j...

Organizing by feature, while great on the surface, is a challenge when the majority of code is designed for re-use anywhere in the app. As a result, each file is its own module in Plunker. In the WIP rewrite you have modules like "plunker.directive.aceEditor" that will contain a mix of directives and services necessary to interact with the ace editor in the Angular world. In this sense, you could say that code is organized by 'feature' if feature is very narrowly defined.

Understanding a body of code under this approach is relatively simple since the modules required by a given module must be listed for Angular's DI to work. The required modules' names correspond directly to the physical location of the code so navigating is pretty simple.

That being said, there is still lots of room to improve and Plunker is by no means a 'large project' (it is made by a team of 1 person).

The opposite is true for normal startups. Unless you drop the price to zero, the viral coefficient goes up with price. The people willing to pay the most are the most likely to spread the word. You will have fewer customers at a higher price, but the likelihood any given customer will spread the word is higher because you are solving a more important problem for them and they are more committed to the product.
Bank Of America's 'Why Stop There?' Cloud Strategy
I think you're less likely, but some people really do just need dead-simple things priced as cheaply as possible, so it's not necessarily a wrong decision, at least for some customers in some markets, to offer them something cheap and bare-bones and not really innovate much beyond the initial offering. I think that may be my favorite category of SaaS, something that does one thing with barely any options, and charges me barely any money to do it, but keeps up the service and a stable API reliably, and periodically drops prices as their own costs drop.
It will be interesting to see how Apple reacts to this, if at all. I don't believe what they've done is strictly against App Store guidelines, but a change in the functionality of an app after it is reviewed could be cause to pull it from the store. I'm sure this is something Taplytics has considered, I'd be interested to hear their thoughts on this.
Someone needs to make a Rocket Surgeon t-shirt.
No. That's serial construction. To work, the process must defensibly be:

search -> [intelligence]

probable cause -> search -> [evidence]

Think of parallel construction the way engineers think about clean-room reimplementations, for instance of the old Phoenix BIOS. The probable cause that authorizes the evidence search has to be de novo; LEO's can't search you simply because the NSA tipped them off.
Or, you could just avoid the OS altogether: https://github.com/SnabbCo/snabbswitch

Our current engineering target is 1 million writes/sec and > 10 million reads/sec on top of an architecture similar to that, on a single box, to our fully transactional, MVCC database (write do not block reads, and vice versa) that runs in the same process (a la SQLite), which we've also merged with our application code and our caching tier, so we're down to—literally—a single process for what would have been at least three separate tiers in a traditional setup.

The result is that we had to move to measuring request latency in microseconds exclusively. The architecture (without additional application-specific processing) supports a wire-to-wire messaging speed of 26 nanoseconds, or approx. 40 million requests per second. And that's written in Lua!

To put that in perspective, that kind of performance is about 1/3 of what you'd need to be able to do to handle Facebook's messaging load (on average, obviously, Facebook bursts higher than the average at times...).

Point being, the OS is just plain out-of-date for how to solve heavy data plane problems efficiently. The disparity between what the OS can do and what the hardware is capable of delivering is off by a few orders of magnitude right now. It's downright ridiculous how much performance we're giving up for supposed "convenience" today.
If your SaaS startup meaningfully depends on viral growth, and a plan that's 10% cheaper has an effect on it, you'll almost always do far better with a freemium business model.

It's hard to recommend freemium for most SaaS startups since it depends critically on having a huge potential market and a zero-cost avenue for growth within it.
No, you are not, sir. In fact, I have to assume that the people who are hyping the UI don't actually use Facebook a whole lot. This is the 10 year anniversary video on steroids. When you scroll through the 90% shit on traditional Facebook, I can quickly pass through hundreds of posts in seconds. Going through them 3-4 at a time is the future? Eck.

High Performance Rails Hosting: It’s about happy users
If you want the opinion of someone who was initially excited to read your copy (filling out timesheets is literally the only thing I really dislike about my job, but also understandably required because we bill to clients):

- You only have VIM/Emacs/Sublime, but we use Eclipse. I know that supporting each and every client is unreasonable, but have you considered writing a client that watches for changes in one or more directories? That way, I could use your tracker even if I wrote in ed (which is the standard editor, as we all know ;)

- The paid feature (more than one week of history) is useless to me, because by Friday I need to take all those hours and push them into our internal system.

In any case, good idea and best of luck to your project! Is there anywhere I can subscribe to receive updates?
I have...and I have seen some awful uses of Angular & fixed them for co-workers.

Angular isn't a cure-all for good application design. You can write bad Angular code as with anything else.
I am not currently playing EVE and never played it much, so I may be wrong, but:

- The bill that went unpaid wasn't for a spaceship, it was for the right to control the area (B-R5RB). There's no particular explanation in the game, but the fee is relatively small and serves to make "open" the default system state. It's even sillier as this took place in 'null sec,' where the central government is supposed to be powerless. However, a game with the opportunity for mistakes is more interesting than the alternative, so you have sov payments.

- There have been several large alliances that nominally controlled most of the game's territory (the first was BoB, or band of brothers). The day-to-day mechanics are much more complex than a map shows (as in real life). The fact that your alliance "owns" a system does not mean _that_ much, and managing a large empire quickly becomes a command & control nightmare. Alliances have to repeatedly choose how to respond to various threats, thieves and internal power struggles, all while keeping the players with the keys to the kingdom happy. Large alliances have been brought down by high ranking members stealing large sums of money and abandoning systems for more money or our of boredom. Eventually, the large alliance makes a big mistake (like this case) and the balance of power shifts.
