The review process can be great. But it can also suck. I'm sure you've read the horror stories. I won't reiterate them, but will say that I've been involved in some personally.

I don't think it's worth the tradeoff.

I'm glad there are platforms which cater to both sides, but I wish the all did. There is no reason iOS couldn't have the curated, reviewed, controlled App Store and the ability to sideload whatever apps you wanted, for those of us who don't want Apple deciding what we can or cannot run on our own hardware.

I had friends at my private, religious high school whose parents forbid them from using tampons for this very reason.
Bandwidth on DO is (worst case), $20.48/TB, so their 17TB usage would cost $348/month. A far cry from $5,000.

The problem is such things are NOT features of democracy, they are features of the "democracy" term we use as short-hand for all of the institutions and traditions which protect individual liberty and give rise to long-lived consensual governance. But short-hand isn't enough.
This is a good question, I want to know what registrar this is, sounds like a great place to park domains.

You may be reading it wrong. Sex is viewed by the Catholic Church as an act of love between man and wife, that can't be dissociated from breeding. It is not only for breeding, but it must be conducive to breeding.

It is laid out in very expressive form, if a bit long, in the Humanae Vitae Encyclical Letter by Pope Paul VI. If you don't wish to read the whole text, lookup points 12 and 14.

> I guarantee you that no company I have worked for in the last 15 years, could have ever run this type of infrastructure for $7K/month. Its absolutely amazing.

True, but lets not compare offerings of the past to now. There is still room for practical efficiency gains.
"No, the rise of Android has everything to do with the fact that it's free, and supports many vendors, etc."

As I said in my post: "its distribution as a decentralized platform." You and I are not in disagreement here.

I didn't say Android was a "better" platform. I said that a lot of developers consider it to be. And I went on to qualify what I meant by that, i.e., that it's got wide distribution and can be used to deploy and test rapidly. As I mentioned, it's an "opportunistic preference." I don't think developers have been alienated by Apple the way PG predicted they would be.
Sorry, but I find it very difficult to understand how someone who can't even spell the word "straight" correctly could have gotten an A in English his senior year of high school. I'm pretty sure I knew how to spell that word correctly by the time I was 5 or 6.
Yes, I'm well aware that some coins have baked-in inflation. However, that's an architectural decision made in the design of any given coin, not "innate to the cryptocurrency environment" per se.

Anyway, if coins are in competition to attract the most users (which they are) we should see people's natural preference emerge: trade in a fixed-supply curency or in a constant inflation currency. I certainly know which I would prefer, but let me ask you, if you had the choice between two coins identical in every aspect except coin A will never be debased (so the coin you buy today is worth as much or more tomorrow) and coin B will be perpetually debased (so the coin you buy today is worth less every following day) which would you rather buy into?

You see there's nothing natural or good about inflation, we've just grown inured to it thanks to the prevailing lies and obfuscation around its use by contemporary governments.

The "those of us" is too small a user base for Apple to make trade-offs for. Most people don't care.
Windows Vista, 7, and 8 are all further developments in the XP branch.

There's also the Windows Server branch, which is also being actively developed.

The only branch that hasn't been developed is the one where Windows ME is the most recent version.
It's accurate, but the calling convention of the top-level function is such that any non-zero value is accepted as boolean true (i.e. a valid CA) and only a zero return value is understood as false.

Because of this problem of returning the errno-style result code as a boolean-style result code, the cert being looked at would always verify as correct.

That's why the fix simply added another label to clear the result variable (to be logically false) before running through the cleanup code and returning the result.
Whoops, fair point. I think I projected my reading of the HN headline into the page text >_>
Frankly, I couldn't get past the grammar. And spelling. And blatant typos. You so lack an attention to detail that I wonder if you might have a learning disorder.

Or you don't read. Please read. Read everything you can. Read fiction, non-fiction, cereal boxes, "newspapers", graphic novels, the internet. Read anything. It's kata for communication. If you can't or won't read, you'll forever suffer from an inability to communicate effectively. You will feel this most acutely when communicating in written form, but incomplete or incorrect sharing of your context in any form will contribute to your perceived disease.
Using analogies to avoid dealing with the actual topic is not productive. ESR claimed that open source projects are inherently more secure because "many eyes make all bugs shallow". That is what we are talking about. Not cars, not airliners. His hypothesis relies on the (false) assumption that many eyes are looking at the code simply because it is open source. That is not the case, as obvious security holes like these demonstrate time and again. It takes dedicated, qualified people spending significant time auditing code to make it more secure, not being open source. A closed source project with 1 security expert auditing the code is more secure than an open source project with 0 security experts auditing the code and a million users downloading the source and compiling it.
Rescale (YC W12) is looking for a platform software engineer
Rescale is building a simulation platform for engineers (of the non-software variety) to help them design their products faster. Our software has been used by a commercial spaceflight company to design rockets so you really do have an opportunity to make a dent in the universe here.
As a platform software engineer, you will be building a distributed workflow engine and cluster management system that will run compute-intensive simulations across multiple cloud providers.

You'll get a chance to learn more about the processes and tools that engineers and scientists use to build products and how high performance computing power in the cloud can revolutionize this design cycle. Simulation is a $40b market and used across a wide range of industries including aerospace, oil & gas exploration, and life sciences so there are a lot of interesting domains to learn about here.

We are well funded by top tier investors (including Jeff Bezos, Paul Graham, and Peter Thiel) and offer a competitive salary with matching stock options. We are located in the SOMA district of San Francisco close to BART and Muni.

==========

Our ideal candidate has the following qualifications:

* Five years of programming experience with Java or Python

* Deep understanding of object oriented programming, distributed/concurrent/multicore computing, cloud architectures, virtualization technologies, scalable databases, fault tolerant computing

* Expertise or strong interest in the following areas: high-performance computing, code optimization, concurrent programming, security, encryption, certificates

* Education: B.S. in Computer Science or a related field, M.S. or Ph.D. preferred

* Flexibility and dedication to making exceptional products

How To Bypass The Chinese Firewall In 2014
I like the term "false poverty effect." It'd be nice to have something to describe all the annoying people I've met who think they are "poor" but can hit their parents up for an interest free $100,000 "loan" they never have to repay or a brand new 2014 car. Then they make fun of you for struggling to afford (or being unable to afford) college tuition or rent when they clearly had no problems affording it on part time minimum wage.
"Android isn't a threat to Apple, Android just replaced the incumbents Blackberry and Nokia."

I'd say it's entirely too early to call the ball here. The long game for both Apple and Google isn't limited to phones and tablets; it's to gain platform ubiquity across all devices, across all aspects of your daily life. Both platforms have a very strong horse in that race, and I'd have a tough time betting on one or the other right now.
I wonder about being able to sideload — because I sell a relatively expensive app on the App Store (at least, expensive in App Store terms: $10).

If sideloading were possible I wonder if it would increase the piracy rate for my app, on which I make a living.

Personally, I would love to do away with the certificates and signing and be able to run whatever. But I wonder if it would hurt my business. I realise that piracy is already possible, but I suspect any form of sideloading makes it a far more accessible option.

Edit: as I said, I'm pretty aware of the sucky bits. My review process (expedited!) went on for months while the trademark dispute played out. It was an incredibly anxious time.
Does this mean that they might release the source code for their games?

It's incredibly stifling once you get experience under your belt. FWIW, I think Rails has a great design aesthetic, and yet it feels like a straightjacket once I get near it. I want to just write Ruby.
I apologize, I understood the words "less control over" in your post implying that you believed you had "nonzero control" to start with. Can you please explain what you meant (and what words I put into your mouth)?
It doesn't, but currency debasement is a perennial crutch of profligate governments.

Inflation is an opaque tax - the connection between the funds the government can create with it and the impact on your wallet is obscure and difficult to pinpoint. So it's easy for governments to get away with it without people noticing or complaining.

Ergo, removing the control of the money supply from the hands of governments would be a good thing. Governments would have less opportunity to appropriate your wealth without you realising it. Accountability would increase.
To me the lighting in Infinite was completely overwhelmed by everything looking like you were viewing it through a cloud of flour if the scene was 'bright' at all. I nearly stopped playing several times because of that issue alone.
As a gender and sexual minority, I try to stay clear of feminists. (At least, when someone says they are one, I get wary.) They're some of the most GSM hostile people I've met.

>The whole idea of feminism is inclusion, which means including trans, queer and other genders and YES including men too.

Mainstream feminism doesn't agree, except for when someone wants to start an equal rights movement for another demographic, like men or GLBT. Then they start acting like patent lawyers.

I would suggest looking into egalitarianism, which lacks the gender supremacy aspect of feminism. You can continue to identify as a feminist, that's fine and 100% up to you...but you're going to spend more time fighting other feminists about what "feminism" means than doing anything else. :/
Indeed. That was very insightful. It's interesting to see the things I've arguably done well in past negotiations and those that I did poorly...
Thank you, Ruby Central!
I don't understand why they would take this down. There are tons of sites that are critical or even insulting of the Mexican government, even main stream newspapers, and radio stations.
My roommate works in retention at TWC. GP can definitely call and get that cut quite significantly. GP may not even have to threaten to leave -- just ask them to see if any promotions are available for that area. If they don't or don't offer enough of a discount, then threaten to cancel, get transferred to retention, and likely get an even better rate. The reps definitely have limits in what they can cut you down to, but $173/mo for basic cable and the 30mbps connection is pretty far from what they can get you down to.
It does take time due to the security risks to be managed. But its not that much time and can be mostly automated. If the OP is new to server management then it might be a bit uphill.
I liked your article, your persistence, and your confidence. Keep it up!

You should do some more editing (straight vs. strait, their vs. there, etc.), but that's an ancillary concern.

Some comments from another STEM undergraduate in the US: You're clearly someone who's a bigger fan of doing things via your own system versus flowing through others' systems. There's, of course, nothing wrong with that. Lots of hacker types have that tendency. Feynman used his own notation for trigonometric functions in high school because he thought the existing one was stupid. It's a handicap in many situations, but an advantage in many others. The world needs both kinds of people.

Anyway, point is, the traditional pathways to success are based on certain metrics, and people flowing through that pathway will optimize toward those metrics to the exclusion of others, inflating them (that's Goodhart's Law). You're someone with an aversion to traditional pathways who's trying to reach life goals through those pathways. The system wasn't made for people like you. This automatically puts you at a disadvantage, as your time and effort is spread out between a lot of things, only some of which help up the metric the grad school people are looking for.

So take a look at yourself and gauge your skills: you're obviously competent, you're intrinsically motivated, you're persistent, but you're bad at (or your life conditions preclude you from) optimizing to certain metrics. Given this information, if you want to do better, you can either give yourself a handicap (take less credit hours or easier classes) or change the game to something you're better at (look for less GPA-centric grad school programs, consider other future possibilities -- also see etrevino's comment!).

In the further future, look for smaller places and higher risk/reward scenarios. Working in those kinds of environments will let you take on challenges on your own terms. Finally, many of the problems you mentioned at college would be nonexistent at a smaller school. At a smaller place, people are more willing to bend rules and to make exceptions given extenuating circumstances. Keep that in mind when making future decisions.

Oh, and, yeah, the system is incredibly broken. So are a lot of things in life. the best we can do is often to work around them and push to change them, usually in that order.
"What you describe is a scary, scary world, and one in which I would prefer to never live in."

You have very good points that I do not have answer to (possibly because there is none in general). I am not trying to argue that idea I proposed is correct or right. I just listened to the talk linked in [0] and think that money raising should go. How it goes is another question entirely.
I would start on the free Heroku stack and if it grows then move it to a good webhost, then to a VPS, then to AWS (or your own boxes).
That looks terrible. Nothing like what I see on Firefox 27 on OS X. I wonder why?
Is that to avoid refilling in places where the fuel is more expensive or just to avoid the hassle? Do people like to drive 500 miles without stopping?
Define "normal." If you let your rate increase after your promotional period ends, then yes, but it only takes one phone call to retention to get that back down.
Well Emacs can almost but not quite be everything of course.

But this is a pretty common distinction, surely?

Words are text, but word processors have historically been focused on preparing documents for printing (or nowdays viewing a visual representation of a printed document onscreen, eg PDF).

They handle differing visual layout (fonts, page breaks, margins, indenting). They are softwrapped and paragraph based not line based. Often they deal with formatting through styles - headers, bullet points, numbering. They usually handle inclusion of tables, images and other non-text elements.

The most common example of a word processor, Word, also handles collaborative writing with tracked changes and notes, and has inbuilt features such as on the fly word count, spelling and grammar checks.

As I said, for a command line word processor look at WordPerfect for DOS or equivalent.

What you are saying (and it is not entirely wrong) is that you can approximate a word processor by matching a text editor with a bunch of other programs (TeX, Pandoc, aspell etc). But that doesn't make the text editor a word processor.
To Those Who Want To Drop Out of School
I can't understand how she got elected.

She got more votes than Conlin.

As srj notes, Conlin barely had a campaign whereas Sawant had an amazing campaign, with 100s of volunteers and great messaging (key to motivating your base). Conlin couldn't even muster a ballot chasing effort during the recount. Pathetic.

The comparative effort (amazing vs no show) demonstrates just how hard it is to unseat an incumbent.

Sawant's campaign buoyed the public financing and district reform (switch from at large council seats to district & at large hybrid), as well as McGinn's vote count.

So while I like and voted for Conlin, I do acknowledge and appreciate what Sawant did for progressive issues.

You may also be reading it wrong. I suggest you look up paragraph 11, which directly contradicts your "must be conducive to breeding" claim:

"It does not, moreover, cease to be legitimate even when, for reasons independent of their will, it is foreseen to be infertile."

Insofar as your claim "can't be dissociated from breeding" can be constructed as a correct claim, it requires understanding that to mean it cannot generally be actively sought to be dissociated from breeding, but even that is incompletely accurate as (per paragraph 16) "If therefore there are well-grounded reasons for spacing births, arising from the physical or psychological condition of husband or wife, or from external circumstances, the Church teaches that married people may then take advantage of the natural cycles immanent in the reproductive system and engage in marital intercourse only during those times that are infertile, thus controlling birth in a way which does not in the least offend the moral principles which We have just explained."

(The position laid in Humanae Vitae has often been criticized for being somewhat incoherent, which isn't really all that surprising given its history. See, e.g., [1])

I'm doing this on a daily basis with problem. However, in 2003 I had great problem compiling a Win3 program written in 1996 (only 7 at the time, not yet 20 year old today) program to run on Win2000.

The secret to being able to do this properly is to keep a curated development environment that has the old tools/libs in their proper form -- which I suspect is why you don't have a problem (20 years ago you had VC5/VB5 - do you compile the same program with VS2013?).

YMMV, but my experience is that the Microsoft environment is worse than Linux in this regard.
It did to me, too. It has some of the mood of my all-time favourite piece of Interactive Fiction - heck, of any fiction.

Game Audio Scripting With Unity - Part 1
I believe Cloud9 (https://c9.io/) is exactly what you're asking for. Unfortunately I haven't been able to get it to clone any of my repos recently to play around with it a lot but I did try it out awhile ago and it seemed pretty decent.
No, it actually says you need to sign in with LinkedIn to verify you work for the company you say you do(also not hard to fake so don't know why they insist, my bet is this is a LinkedIn employee). No thanks, and no guarantee that your info isn't shared etc. This seems like it has a high potential for abuse.

Why do they consider it to be better? I've done Android and iOS and iOS is a lot easier to develop software. Android is improving but Apple still wins.

Anyway, that doesn't really matter either. Which market currently provides the best possibility for real income? I'll put in the extra work on Android if there are more paying customers. From a business point of view, one should be following the money and not playing "think like a geek" and rationalize it through technical issues.
I completely understand.
What did I do? Got a job for someone who cares more about accomplishments than about some ridiculous method of measuring that meant nothing in any context but authoritarian measurement systems(do what we say to pass).

Upsides? If we make money, I am lauded and respected, and getting things done is the highest achievement.
Downsides? Way too much time spent optimizing problems and dealing with bullshit that is unrelated to your interests.

Conclusion: no matter what path you choose, you have to yoke yourself to someone's wagon, whether it be academic or business. Otherwise hope you are born rich or have a billion dollar idea.

You miss the point; bandwidth from a single source != CDN. Hosting without a CDN would be extremely slow for people that were far (hops) away from DO. CDN's solve this, and other issues.
What is funny is that Github is footing the bill for most package systems, which were likely inspired by ruby gems, yet Github itself was built with Ruby gems. I am pretty sure the hosting costs for homebrew/npm round to nil (I could be wrong).

Agreed. I just deleted my LinkedIn due to privacy concerns so I couldn't use this if I wanted to.
The most interesting thing that I found about dealing with stuff at 6 figure+ scale per month on AWS was the un-advertised limits (nodes, provisioned volumes / total size, snapshots, elbs, etc) that you have to either hit, or extract from your account manager.
