I would suggest reading about the initial framework and pattern that inspired frameworks like Angular and KnockOut: WPF and MVVM. Of course WPF is higher level then HTML, but I think it could still be a useful information:

By all indication anything relating to computers, hacking or security research is considered one of the "worst" crimes in the USA.

Hackers seem to be getting longer sentences then career criminals these days.

"When it comes to computers we must punish severely because it's magical and we don't understand it." is the view all non IT literate politicians and lawyers seem to have.
Formatted for easier reading:

Linus was directly aiming to maximize the number of person-hours thrown at debugging and development, even at the possible cost of instability in the code and user-base burnout if any serious bug proved intractable. Linus was behaving as though he believed something like this:

8. Given a large enough beta-tester and co-developer base, almost every problem will be characterized quickly and the fix obvious to someone.

Or, less formally, ``Given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow.'' I dub this: ``Linus's Law''.

My original formulation was that every problem ``will be transparent to somebody''. Linus demurred that the person who understands and fixes the problem is not necessarily or even usually the person who first characterizes it. ``Somebody finds the problem,'' he says, ``and somebody else understands it. And I'll go on record as saying that finding it is the bigger challenge.'' That correction is important; we'll see how in the next section, when we examine the practice of debugging in more detail. But the key point is that both parts of the process (finding and fixing) tend to happen rapidly.

In Linus's Law, I think, lies the core difference underlying the cathedral-builder and bazaar styles. In the cathedral-builder view of programming, bugs and development problems are tricky, insidious, deep phenomena. It takes months of scrutiny by a dedicated few to develop confidence that you've winkled them all out. Thus the long release intervals, and the inevitable disappointment when long-awaited releases are not perfect.

In the bazaar view, on the other hand, you assume that bugs are generally shallow phenomena—or, at least, that they turn shallow pretty quickly when exposed to a thousand eager co-developers pounding on every single new release. Accordingly you release often in order to get more corrections, and as a beneficial side effect you have less to lose if an occasional botch gets out the door.

And that's it. That's enough. If ``Linus's Law'' is false, then any system as complex as the Linux kernel, being hacked over by as many hands as the that kernel was, should at some point have collapsed under the weight of unforseen bad interactions and undiscovered ``deep'' bugs. If it's true, on the other hand, it is sufficient to explain Linux's relative lack of bugginess and its continuous uptimes spanning months or even years.
Or taxed.
Well, a weekend for me might involve driving 150-200 miles to the middle of nowhere (literally) walking or skiing and then driving back - with very few filling stations for most of that distance and then most of them being small rural businesses that close early (especially on a Sunday).

[NB I walk to work, my wife walks to work and my son walks to school - we even do a lot of our shopping by walking - I wouldn't pretend our car usage patterns are typical].
Yep. GoDaddy are scumbags.

Here's another example, where GoDaddy took RateMyCop off the Web because some cops bitched about it: http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2008/03/godaddy-silence

Then they went on to lie about it.
I will pull all the domains I can out of Godaddy and also recommend all I know in IT not to use them. We also remember
Godaddys support of SOPA.

Namecheap is a good alternative
You can easily do that on dedicated hardware too. We run all our stuff in vm's and containers even on the office dev servers 3 meters behind my desk.

And pretty much "all" dedicated server providers these days also have cloud offerings if you need to spin up some instances quickly to handle traffic spikes etc., or for dev/testing purposes.
Off-topic, but I've had this question for a while: Are anglo-saxon people against cursive writing, and why? It's the only writing I was taught in school (block-letter writing comes automatically afterwards) and whenever I write, I still write cursive. It's faster for me, although maybe that's because I was taught cursive writing.
Even if you manage to guarantee OS and everything else safety, you still have to trust your own sanity.
This is actually a good thing.
No question. Though I'll use the occasion to thank you for all the dedication, financial commitment and awesome software you've provided us with in the Ruby community.
Did you know how to be obnoxious by that age too?
Why do you think users want to own their identities?

Users, when you ask them, want a service that handles the backup and synchronization of their identity between all their devices. Users don't want losing the device their keys are on to mean losing their identity. Users want to be able to join a new device to their identity by just entering their username and password on it. Users want to be able to enter those credentials on random public computers to be able to temporarily use their identity on those computers, then log out when done. And users don't care about the security implication of any of this.

Currently, given this set of use-cases, "identity providers" like Facebook and Google work perfectly for users. Password managers don't.
Perhaps using sqlite as the "backed" in that you build it like any other blog, so you get the simplicity of building it out, using one good sql framework etc.

But then, when you click "post" it rips through the database using a library of markdown -> HTML or whatever the case may be. Thhere can't be must overheard to a single include to pull in the html, but you could render the enter page. I just can't see php falling down too much with a few includes and functions being called to generate a header, the included rendered HTML, and a footer with some design elements.

It's not much fun building your own database out of flat files. I cut my teeth on a Mac only system that more or less only talked to Filemaker, which was only as fast as the actual screen could redraw and search out the data. It could be painfully slow.

In a way I am glad, as I learned how to do things and think differently when most were just running a "select * from foo where bar = 'x'" which was a 15 minute luxury I didn't have. There were no joins, no tables, you actually ran applescripts on the database and it returned the data somehow back to a web server on the Mac.

So we used the database on the backend, where admins could be more patient, or do more intricate things, but almost always generated out some HTML, so in the end, the site was semi-dynamic. I think I was doing "caching" of data as a result almost 15 years ago.

The rule was, no more than 2 database calls per page, ever. And you couldn't do things like update foo set name = 'me' where id = 1, because there was no exposed notion of a record id, it was internal, so you had to select name from foo where name = 'whatever' which would return the name, but also a RedID value, which you then got to run another query to update foo set name = 'me' where if = <special RecID token>

Made me think a bit different.
>I have better things to do than wait 15 years for a vendor to look at fixing a serious issue.

Perhaps, but that's just one aspect.

For most of those 15 years there wasn't a better supported, friendlier to the common user, with tons of desktop and business software and compatible with almost all hardware, OS available.

They had an even more incentive to get that right first, and they did.
A brief bit of googling shows Yahoo mail has similar numbers of users as Hotmail and Gmail, somewhere between 200-400 millionish, hard numbers aren't often announced.

People bought child porn with USD and GBP. It's only natural they will move onto a more "untracable"[0] currency. Also, just a thought, I was reading a link from HN about hiding messages and images in the blockchain[1]. Could this not be done with first tumbling some coins then hiding CP in the blockchain?

Murray Rothbard is probably the most influential example. He argued that fractional-reserve banking is fraud and should be effectively outlawed by regular tort law (not by government regulation).

He had a bit of a running disagreement with Von Mises over it: http://www.garynorth.com/public/9714.cfm
'argue' vs 'discuss'?

In the link above, it seemed like the domain expert was quite enjoying the conversation, everything was polite and friendly and the resulting information was quite educational.
> And only one of them needs to be compromised for you to lose funds (given that you didn't use multisig)

Bank vaults are very rarely compromised. And as you said you can still use multisig.

> Or if your computer was compromised at the time of generating your paper wallets. Or the printer. Or if you somehow downloaded a malicious copy of wallet generating software.

If you factor malicious software into account, you're far more likely to have your credit card or bank account credentials stolen.

Cold storage surely isn't a panacea, but let's be honest in the criticism of BTC. With reasonable security standards your bitcoins are probably safer than your bank account money. (The only difference is that your BTC's probably aren't insured against theft)
That may be true of web development, but certainly isn't of software as a whole: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Therac-25

But how would you do know that those bugs in closed source systems haven't been found? The bug reporting systems are closed too, and the hotfixes and patches that get issued don't link to a list of bug reports. So you are none the wiser.

For all we know, bugs are found in closed sourced systems all of the time and are fixed frequently; the only difference is that they're not publicised.

Since 2005? 10 years long in production? And while the code is open, no-one ever seen the bug? Is that the power of open source??
I don't think so. The compiler would have no idea that 1 and 0 were not the 1 and 0 that the human was expecting, surely?
If you want to get an intuitive feel for the orbital mechanics I highly recommend Kerbal Space Program.
Yeah, instead it takes over your javascript turning properties into methods:

personAge: ko.observable(123)
};

myViewModel.personName() //get

myViewModel.personName('Mary') //set

Makes my eyes bleed.
"Open-source typography is flourishing, but that doesn't mean commercial typography is dead"

The two should also not be opposites. There should be room for commercial open-source typography.

If it isn't the typography world is going to be poorer - coz designing good fonts is a hard, skilled, time consuming task and not everybody has the time and inclination to do it for free.

That's a possibility. I might find out once (if?) I can quit for good. I wonder what might be hiding under that hazy mind.

I want to call out that I'm not against legalization, or people who can do it without any issues.

I can't teach: theneeds is for sure hard as well, you never know if it's one word or 2 (e.g. searching in the app store), if there's an "s" in the end or not (maybe for native eng it's easier, not in general).

Yours is cool in a "nerd" sense, but I'm not sure that the "simple man" get it immediately. As always, it probably hardly depends on who you're targeting...
People that marry as virgins have a much lower chance of divorce[1]. If you think that stable families are a good thing for your society to have, then you have to reject "sex positive" modern culture and value virginity.

Coincidentally, the family structure of the west has rotted since the sexual revolution of the 1960s[2]. Maybe if all those damaged children of divorce had a say in the matter we'd return to traditional morality and shaming of sex outside of marriage. The highest value of society shouldn't be doing whatever feels good regardless of the consequences.

From the arbitration decision:

"Although there are compelling reasons why the request from a recognized law enforcement agency such as the City of London Police should be honored, the Transfer Policy is unambiguous in requiring a court order before a Registrar of Record may deny a request to transfer a domain name… The term “court order” is unambiguous and cannot be interpreted to be the equivalent of suspicion of wrong doing by a policy agency.

To permit a registrar of record to withhold the transfer of a domain based on the suspicion of a law enforcement agency, without the intervention of a judicial body, opens the possibility for abuse by agencies far less reputable than the City of London Police."
being an asshole and getting shit done are orthogonal characteristics.
Like BeOS!
It's amusing but I never thought of exceptions as gotos. But that's what they in essence.
Your attitude seems unnecessarily negative. Let me give you a theoretical example:

I live with my girlfriend. My girlfriend's birthday is next week and I want to plan a surprise party. I send a message out on this thing instead of Facebook or email (where she might see it).

When the vast majority of people talk about not leaving a paper trail, they (rightfully) aren't concerned with third parties -- they're concerned about second parties. Snapchat didn't take off because people were trying to hide from governments, it took off because they were trying to hide from friends and parents.
Perhaps it's new?

Actually, he is right. Khap panchayats in the state of Haryana act as a parallel government and sanction honor killings. Recently in a village in Bengal a similar village body ordered a woman to be gang-raped by her fellow villagers.

Use 2-of-3 multisig: https://gist.github.com/oleganza/9232293

User owns a key protected by his password and your server never knows it. Another key is stored unencrypted on the web server (like in "hot" wallet). Third key is stored with your staff, encrypted by their personal password (like in "cold" wallet).

Normal withdrawal: user key and web server's key sign the transaction and it's instantly available.

Security analysis:

1. User forgot their password: he contacts staff that uses their key + web server's key to move funds to new destination.

2. Hackers have taken the web server: they see the key, but it's not enough to move anyone's funds.

3. Staff lost their keys: users still can access their funds if they still remember their passwords.

4. Hackers stole user's computer: they may instantly withdraw some amount up to an arbitrary daily limit. (Withdrawal can also be protected by 2-factor authentication.)

5. Hackers stole staff's keys (e.g. from a personal computer): they still need to break into web server. When staff realizes that keys are compromised, all funds must be moved immediately to new keys.

In other words, users have a hard proof of ownership of specific coins. All coins, no exception, are protected by two differently stored keys. So no need for hot/cold wallet difference.

If you want to block some BTC for trading, webserver will implement that easily: when you withdraw coins, it will move blocked portion to someone else's address.
"the most heinous crimes, i.e., rapes, murders, or high-level drug offenses"

I agree, I just hope the average snapchat user realizes that there's no guarantee the pictures they're sending can be archived forever (especially the younger users).

I never used the app though, and I just tried to go to their website to see how they communicate on this issue just to discover that snapchat.com doesn't contain a single description of the service. There's just a silly video on the frontpage (turtle fights? I'm not sure about the ethics of that) and links to download the app. It's crazy that something so new is already popular enough that they don't even need to explain what it is anymore.

That being said on both apple's and google's app stores the description of the app mentions that the user can make a screenshot and save the picture, so at least they don't try to hide this limitation.
