Same here. Larry's a great author. I got started with his books years ago. He definitely makes Web dev feel more approachable, which is invaluable to a newbie. I believe Patrick Collison from Stripe also got started on Larry's books (for some reason I recall a conversion on Twitter or the like about this).
If that's the Chademo network (Wikipedia says there were 148 of those in Estonia as of March 2012), then yes, Tesla is releasing a Chademo adapter in a few weeks. It charges at 150 miles/hr, slower than a supercharger and much faster than a standard L2 240v charger.

The very idea that you can discriminate true and "false" senses of the cosmic, for anybody, says a lot about where you're speaking from.
It's not even fair in pure monetary terms - even if it's a very rapid complete failure, you'd put in more than $100k worth of your time&sweat; and if it's anything better than that, then your personal investment is much larger than $100k.

The only way it would make sense financially is if you're spending all that $100k in the first year on founder salaries; but at the end of that you've got a company with no cash that's probably not yet selfsustaining.
Patterns of interfering massive particles
Exactly. How can you trust something you don't have source code to? You can't, full stop. Any thinking otherwise is at best childishly naive ignorance. Given the recent revelations of the past few years, it should be glaringly obvious to anyone with half a clue that companies have been compromised, either willingly or otherwise, so that trusting closed source is a bad idea (as ESR, RMS and Bruce Schneier have been saying for decades!). The finding of this bug in GNUTLS is a good thing! Claiming that this bug would have been found at all, much less fixed, in proprietary software is galling, to put it lightly.
I would love to hear if any other companies are doing the same thing or considering it, and from anyone who works in banking and has to take mandatory time off.

It's a stretch to say they're letting me deploy an antenna. It's not like they're just an antenna colocation company where I go install it myself.
I was kind of the same, but the realization that I was a media hoarder came when I was designing a media server for myself where I could access my media anywhere -- and the thought struck me that I was essentially just rebuilding a lot of the on-demand paid services out there, just with less media.

Been using Google Music ever since.
That's a signal of how much attention GnuTLS gets.

It's a signal of how much attention the dark and dusty corners of all open source code gets. My "favourite" FreeBSD advisory was the 2011 telnetd "christmas present" -- remote root to any system running telnetd with the default options. The bug was in routines for setting up encrypted telnet sessions... who even knew that telnet had encryption? The bug was a blindingly obvious buffer overflow, but nobody goes digging through telnetd looking for encryption code.

About six months after that advisory, I heard from a major aircraft manufacturer that they had been using the BSD telnetd code to provide a channel for in-flight tuning of engine performance.

This is why I award bug bounties for punctuation errors in comments in the Tarsnap source code -- it encourages people to read all the code, not just the interesting bits.

Your first challenge is selling to the sales people. Not many people can sell effectively. You need to catch their attention with something more than "I have no product, but I'd like you to sell it - but I can only pay you when you close a deal".

Good sales people are always on the lookout for the next thing they can sell. Snare their attention by being something they can sell. How you do that is up to you, but good content about interesting markets with lots of upside always gets my attention.
One of the classic effects of LSD (happens to many but by no means all users) is a sensation of ego death - ie, your sense of identity and who you are in the world is either eliminated or greatly changed. This, as you might imagine, is an extremely profound feeling ('a sense of the profound').

But, after coming down, does this experience have any grounding in reality? Did it 'actually produce profundity' or was it a hallucination, pure and simple?

Hope that helps capture the difference.

I was for some reason completely unaware of this possibility. How much would comissioning such a clip cost, and whats the delay? I looked through the website but couldn't seem to find concrete info. I am surprised that the media isn't using this, like they have taken to using satellite imagery on news shows now. They could show moving imagery of troop movements on the Crimea right now? That seems like it would have a huge impact...

I'm definitely not trying to be argumentative, but as I understand it, corporate limited liability doesn't shield individuals (including agents of the company) from tort liability.

Also, it's not really true that anything that produces civil liability is a tort, is it? Civil liability also arises from contract law.
Why wouldn't it be discovered? As I understand, it was discovered by audit of an interested party. That happens to closed-source software too. If GnuTLS were a proprietary product of RedHat, of sold by proprietary company to RH while allowing RH to audit, but not publish, the source, the result would be the same. Disclosure might not happen, but discovery still would.
There's also a biblically established protocol for dealing with sinners established by one 'Jesus' in the New Testament. (It starts with a baseline of having a nice civilized dinner with them even if people gossip about it, and continues all the way to laying down your life for their protection if it ever should come to that.)
Theo de Raadt's argument (as presented here) isn't logically valid. A character attack is not an argument. So he's just hurting his cause. That's my point here.

As an aside, I'm not really begging the question because I defended ESR's "Linus' Law" thing in a different comment.
AFAIK, `use` were required because PHP has variable-variables:

<?php
$x = "b";
$b = 42;
echo $$x; // equivalent to echo $b;

// Here the compiler can't determine all the variables
// used in the function.
// Has a result, there were two choices:
// - capture the whole environment
// - capture explicitly named variables

function () {
return $$x;
}

Hopefully, nobody uses variable-variables these days, however this is the reason behind the introduction of `use` for closures.
Wouldn't because they are in Old Testament? Like the famous http://www.kingjamesbibleonline.org/Exodus-22-18/ which was also "not" observed by Christians:

They don't tax Bitcoin, they tax you, and you can evade taxes in any currency or commodity if you're extremely careful and not very risk averse.

> so I quit my job [...] Also, forget about unemployment checks, even though I paid for Social Security like everyone else.

Social Security is a completely separate system from unemployment; the only conceptual area of overlap relates to disability.

Unemployment is a different system of social insurance which you probably also paid into -- but its insurance against involuntary, no fault unemployment. Both voluntary termination (quitting) and termination for cause generally are outside of the coverage of unemployment insurance.
Sales people generate their own leads, from research, networking, recommendations, ploughing through conference line-ups, hitting the phones and asking who the right person to speak to is - and on and on. If you have to give them leads, they're the wrong person.
The video field of view is 1.1 by 2 km: http://skybox.com/uploads/10/08/imageryandvideospecsheet.pdf

Purely speculating, not going on anything they’ve said: theoretically when they have more satellites you might be able to patch together a larger area with simultaneous video from several birds. You’d have a slightly ugly angle difference at the seam, of course. There may be technical constraints here that I’m not thinking of, though.

In any case, at 1 m GSD and 30 fps, 1.1 by 2 km is 66 megapixels a second. Even efficiently compressed, that’s a lot of information already.

Oh, one other feature I'd like: prediction confirmation & statistics. Plenty of news stories & opinions declare "X says Y will happen by date Z"; I'd like to mark keyword Y for followup, either reporting that it actually happened or that date Z came & went (or, say, it happened but a couple weeks late), and in the long term document X's success rate as a prophet. Lots of predictions get made in the news media, but nobody ever holds 'em to it.
Certain bugs are more likely to be found if you have a large number of users doing diverse things with your software.

Yes, but you can also optionally add a credit card. Though, looking closer, they say:

Credit cards are a backup payment method only and cannot be used to buy bitcoin directly

An additional fee of 3.1% + $0.18 will be applied to any charges made to your cards.

An additional "cash advance"/ATM fee may be applied by your bank, depending on your agreement with them.
Laziness or just not interested enough to dedicate time to it.

I have a 2 hour commute daily so 10 hours per week. Last year I read 104 books i.e 2 per week. Perfectly do-able on a london tube journey home.

Evenings are spent watching online courses and doing the actual work, step by step at a patient pace via YouTube or a MOOC or another site like Lynda.com.

Reading is easy, no excuses. Its a matter of blocking the time out to just do it. All my mentors tell me they read for several hours per day and all run multi-million pound businesses. They also manage to have sort of sane family lives as well.

All of its do-able once you work out a system that works for you.

> Out of genuine curiosity, what's the advantage from your point of view, other than being able to communicate to other people who use the same system, at the cost of not being understood by everyone else?

The metric system is 10 based, which makes it trivial to measure and convert: 1000mm = 100cm = 1m. This becomes even more important when you are talking about volume or any ^3 dimension.

I have lived in the US for 15 years and even today, I'm unable to convert fl oz. to any kind of mass measure without getting a headache along the way.
The quote is hyperbolic for the "all", and should probably use the word "shallower", but otherwise I don't see anything wrong with it.

"much more people talk about many eyes than actually audit existing code" is true of free software, but is also true of just about everything. More people think "I feel comfortable crossing this bridge because plenty of engineers have looked at it" than there are engineers actually looking at bridges. I haven't read the quote in it's original context for several years, but I don't remember it conflating software users with software developers.
Building Reusable D3.js Elements with Polymer
A few facts about Zidisha and Kiva that got erased from Paul's blog yesterday, so reposting here for the benefit of the community.

Kiva launched a new model a few years back: KivaZip.org. Like Zidisha, it allows you to make direct loans to underserved businesses. Starting in Kenya and the U.S., you can make 0% interest loans directly and converse with the entrepreneur.

Unlike Zidisha, the repayment rate is much higher (90% ontime repayment on KivaZip vs. a 40% ontime repayment on Zidisha) and Kiva Zip has nearly double the loan volume through which risk management can be refined.

Both models are early stage.

Further, when you lend through Zidisha, there's a chance that you will not be able to withdraw your money (given SEC regulation). Kiva Zip has been cleared by regulators since it does not let you earn a rate of return, but you can withdraw your principal.

Both models are early days, but nonetheless important factors to consider when thinking about Kiva and Zidisha. Want to applaud effort by Paul, YC and the community to direct more talent, energy and resources to great problems of the world.
Honestly, it isn't that difficult any more to find nearly any foundry that hasn't already recognized the webfont movement and have web licenses available. Also, the myriad webfont services already out there have growing libraries that usually cover either the font in question or something similarly useful. I can't tell if your example is from personal experience or manufactured, but even Frutiger is readily licensable for web use through MyFonts.com.

So, let's not forget that!

I concede, though, the trouble here is the webfont-subscription model, though relatively affordable, isn't exactly ideal due it it's reliance on a service rather than self-hosting (though some services and foundries offer this kind of license as well).

Do everybody a favour and just don't post if you aren't interested in the topic.

I for one am interested in how this was implemented. Who cares if someone did this before ? Apple has a long history of coming in later and implementing the overall solution better.
> I'm definitely not trying to be argumentative, but as I understand it, corporate limited liability doesn't shield individuals (including agents of the company) from tort liability.

That's not about piercing the veil (which protects shareholders from liabilities incurred by the company), that's just individual liability independent of the corporate existence of corporate liability. And your right, but negligence liability requires that the individual agent owes you a duty of care and failed it; even in the case where corporate negligence toward a harmed party is easy to establish, individual negligence of a particular corporate agent toward the same party may be much harder to establish. And, again, such liability is a completely different issue then the corporate veil.

> Also, it's not really true that anything that produces civil liability is a tort, is it? Civil liability also arises from contract law.

True, but I think the general point still stands that the corporate veil would be pretty flimsy to start with if it didn't generally include protection from liability arising through tort.

So basically abstract the details of each sub-condition from the final check that all sub-conditions are met?

That does sound like a good idea as long as the meaning of `1` and `0` do not get confused, and as long as we're not talking about some niche context where extra overhead for the sake of code maintainability would be a problem.
The local broadcasters / network affiliates do need to maintain a viable business model to serve the public interest. Their real value to the public is the local news/weather programming they produce which plays an important role in public safety. It's very arguable that a company like Areo disrupting this model serves the public interest at this point. We need local news/weather, emergency weather alerts, school/road closings, etc way more than we need it to be easier to watch re-runs of Wheel of Fortune via Areo.

You're quite right, but we should view the incidence of fraud, bankruptcy, and default in the context of the economy within which they take place. Like there may be thousands of credit card fraud attempts every day within the US, but the number is fairly insignificant compared to the number of legitimate transactions by honest users. Likewise there are a few bank failures every month, but institutional failures where large chunks of depositors' money disappears are fortunately quite rare).

Thank you for this - I'm always concerned that people miss this. I recall someone I know noticing that they just didn't enjoy smoking anymore, and it was actually making them more anxious. Without going into a discussion about why this happened, it took them a long time to realize this because they were rationalizing their use, and using more to counter the fact that they were feeling "off" after the regular amount.

As a non-smoker, it's one of my fears that if this happens again, I won't be able to convince one of my smoking friends that this is happening to them. Mental dependence seems insidious in that way. Any pointers? Experiences to share?
Scalding at Etsy
I disagree. I tried learning Catalyst for Perl a few years back. You could swap almost any component in it, and the tutorial explained how to. Being new to the whole concept of a web framework, I couldn't actually work out what the framework was doing, as it just seemed like a collection of libraries for various tasks. Learning Django after that and it all made a lot more sense. You can swap parts out, but it makes more sense, especially in the begining to use the sensible defaults provided. They are probably more coupled than they could be, but it works well, and the parts play nicely.

JavaScript frameworks seem to be another matter.

FontSquirrel's generator will strip out a lot of unneeded characters. By default this means including just the basic Latin subset with the main punctuation glyphs. If you look at the character set for Clear Sans (http://www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/clear-sans) you will see that it includes Cyrillic and Greek letters, among other things like musical notes and smilie faces, so those can be removed if you don't want them (or included if you do).
Interesting problem you are tackling, incidentally we are sort of trying to address a similar problem (simplified web development) at Crudzilla Software (www.crudzilla.com).

I am guessing you guys are in heavy development? because I didn't see how you go from using spreadsheets to using your solution (at least from the code samples). I am guessing people who use spreadsheets to build "apps" aren't typically in a position (skill-wise) to use JavaScript to do anything sophisticated.
It has been heartening to read so many of the comments here pointing how absurd web development has become with the endlessly more rigid frameworks prescribing their world view onto the developer, effectively reducing them to module install muppets, rather than empowered developers.
Gotcha. Thanks. Sorry to derail.
