The best part:

We’ve shown that people will risk fines, lawsuits and whatever consequences that may come just to be able to watch a recent movie in slippers. Just to get the kind of experience they deserve.

And maybe, that asking nicely for a few bucks a month to watch whichever movie you want is a bit better than that.

Popcorn Time is shutting down today. Not because we ran out of energy, commitment, focus or allies. But because we need to move on with our lives.

Our experiment has put us at the doors of endless debates about piracy and copyright, legal threats and the shady machinery that makes us feel in danger for doing what we love. And that’s not a battle we want a place in.

Probably headed back to the coast after experiencing difficulties then something incapacitated the crew, until they ran out of fuel over the Indian ocean.

> An Asia-based pilot of a Boeing 777-200, who asked not to be identified because he was not authorized to speak to reporters, said an ascent above the plane’s service limit of 43,100 feet, along with a depressurized cabin, could have rendered the passengers and crew unconscious, and could be a deliberate maneuver by a pilot or a hijacker.

> Other experts said that altitude changes would be expected if the pilots became disabled after the plane’s autopilot was disengaged. Changes in the weight distribution on the plane as fuel burned off would make the plane descend and climb repeatedly, though changes in course would be harder to explain.

...

> The data, the official said, “leads them to believe that it either ran out of fuel or crashed right before it ran out of fuel.”

> It would take a long runway to land a plane of that size, the official said. Although the radius that the plane could have flown extends into South Asia, the official added, “the idea it could cross into Indian airspace and not get picked up made no sense.”

Because, although some DOS attacks follow a 'moral' code (According to whoever's morals are relevant at the time), not every DOS attack does, in the same way that some people steal from those who have less, some people vandalise state property, some launch wars based on lies. In fact, I'd go as far to say that 'bad' things that happen probably don't have a justifiable moral purpose underpinning them more often than not, and that goes for DOS attacks too.
It seems like you have a knack for the creative side too, it's not really that bad considering that you can always merge both technical and creative. I'm in the same situation as you so I can kind of relate. It's hard to try building a technological start-up especially when you are not that adept. There are three things you should work on which is your creativity, networking, and convincing power. First, you need to empower your creative side because it is only that side of you that can really come up with great ideas. And you thinking about creating things that can solve problems, you've already made the first step into creating something that's truly great. Think outside the box, I always say. Second, it doesn't matter if you don't really know how to start it, everything's uncertain at this point. That's why you have to network and find the people who can help you in the parts where you're weak at. You need to find people who can really help build your ideas because an idea no matter how great cannot be built by just one man, no matter how smart you are. Focus on your strengths, right now everything is uncertain. Think of it like a jigsaw puzzle, the more pieces you put in, the clearer the picture gets. It's like that in starting a business, the more people you work with the clearer it gets. Third, work on your communication skills. No matter who you are, whether you're trying to build the next generation computer like Steve Jobs or trying to create an artistic masterpiece like Andy Warhol, you need to be able to convince people that what you're trying to create is the next big thing. You're gonna get a lot of rejections, that's a fact of life. But you're rejections will test you to see how badly you really want to create technologies that can impact the world in a good way. Howard Schultz, the Starbucks king finally managed to get funding from the banks on his 224th proposal. This is just a suggestion though, you don't have to take it.
Wcd's quality (most recordings are posted in multiple formats including FLAC and 320 & v0 mp3) is assured -- the community is serious and self-policing about encoding. Is the same true of Soulseek?
Now replace "foreign language" with "math" and consider that many have spoken out about how the typical mathematics curriculum is backwards and gives the wrong impression about what math is really about.

I hate learning languages in a school setting. Yet I have gained a minor interest in languages now many years after high school, and can appreciate learning it on my own premises.

You can do per-directory config in nginx with the location block, it's just that you just can't put the config inside the directory itself and have nginx automatically load it.

You can tell nginx to reload its configuration without restarting the entire server process by running "sudo /etc/init.d/nginx reload", or on ubuntu "sudo service nginx reload".
Sounds like somebody's measuring the wrong thing.

Sure, we'll grant you that foreign languages don't help your male pattern baldness, nor will they get you out of trouble with those unpaid parking tickets. But that's not why you learn them.

You learn them so that you can sling your hammock on a river boat going up the Amazon from Iquitos and spend a good week getting to know a bunch of locals for whom that's the only transport to or from their village.

You learn them so that when you get a flat tire on your rented motorbike in Trang Provence and the local fisherman stops to help, you can share a few words of conversation and he'll invite you back to his stilt house amid the mangroves to meet his family and share a meal of dried fish and seaweed over rice.

I've done three laps of this world now, and can safely say that the best experiences I had were the ones interacting with local folks in remote areas that didn't really meet many westerners. Hell, I spent a month in China and by far the two most interesting and enjoyable days were the ones where I had the good fortune to be shown around by friends who were fluent.

Speaking English, I could pull off a tourist bus to the Great Wall. Speaking Chinese, I was eating Bao Dze from a little unmarked hole in the wall on a back street in Beijing after watching the sunrise over a part of the city you don't normally get to see.

So yeah, I'm not sure how many dollars I got out of any of that. But if anything, I wish I'd spent more time learning foreign languages.

I myself an am extreme introvert and can't really tolerate being around people for more than 90 minutes without getting physically ill. What has worked for me is being well-mannered polite and pleasant almost all the time so that when I give my short, concise answers, it is not interpreted as rudeness. I focus on the satisfaction of the work I do, the adequecy of my pay, and the other small things I enjoy about my job. I make it a point to excercise daily.
In the past I had jobs where stuff like that was intolerable and there was an added component of bullying. I nuked that job with only a vague 'Going back to school' plan. I was unemployed for several months and looked like I might have to move back into my car. But I didn't and have never regretted it. If it is that bad, like a shitty bf or gf, dump the muthafucker already. Or at least start working on your exit plan.
Officials now believe most likely location for MH370 is on land near Chinese/Kyrgyz border.[1]

If this holds true, then the most likely perpetrators are Uyghur separatists. But this begs the question, how did they manage to evade being detected by the numerous radars?

If this was a movie plot it would be bashed for being unrealistic ...

"It doesn't make any sense somebody could hijack a plane that easily - you know, just deactivate the transponder and be gone - it's not that simple, of course - that would be ridiculous - and there is radar everywhere. Also the earth is covered with photo satellites - they would find the plane in no time - you know, a plane is a pretty big thing - haha - so anyway, bit naive, but the acting was alright - so if it wasn't about the transponder plot hole I'd give it a solid 8 ..."
The user of a piece of software is more important than its current or future maintainers.
Flight deck doors are secure also, and the first action on attempted hijack is divert to the nearest suitable. It looks increasingly likely that one or both pilots remained in control.

Bossy is extremely specific and a terrible style of leadership. I've known bossy women as well as women who were great leaders. The overlap has between the two is the empty set.

How about you teach real leadership skills to girls who like to lead? Such as understanding, empathy, reward, etc. Of course the same goes for men, and bossy men are just as big a problem.

Because programs operate on files which need to be accessible by other programs. This is the whole point of files with interoperable file formats.

The applications that does not do this, i.e. games, are good candidates for sandboxing, but normal applications? Not so much.
No, Apache's biggest problem is its architecture that limits quite a few things you can do. Case in point: the farce around mpm_event. It took ages to implement it to solve a central issue Apache always had (i.e. that it could be DoS'd by slow but long-living connections), and even now, it's not exactly in a great state, compared to nginx's async I/O internals.
Awesome, I must thank you for that link. I've thought about it several times over the past year, but could not remember his name or the video's title. So, thank you.

That's crazy. How hard is it for them to give you a key for iTunes as well as whatever they own preferred platform is?

I backed Shadowrun returns, and I think I got a direct download at first, but I also got keys for both Steam and GOG.com (DRM free, so extra nice). And a DLC that's bigger than the original campaign. Some Kickstarters know how to take care of their backers.
That's not much of a coincidence: The 911 is actually a fairly old design (early 1960s) and the follow up to the Porsche 356 [1] where the similarity is even more striking. They are also from a technical point of view fairly similar: Both have an air-cooled boxer engine in the back which certainly influences the design. There's also the "Berlin-Rom-Wagen" [2], a sports version of the beetle which was built for a planned long distance race from Berlin to Rome. It already looks very much like the Porsche 356. So the history of the two cars is actually quite mixed up.

Aha, "silly". I see your comment is full of arguments why this was the case all these years. Most Apache security issues didn't affect or had lesser impact on OpenBSDs fork.

The only thing silly here is your opinion.
Oh but it really is adding frilly bits to data.

Have a good long hard look at the data flow of your web app. Take for example a CMS: A user comes along, the web page is generated, The data comes from a database, its encapsulated in HTML/JSON/x and then sent to the client. (either all at once or chopped up into bits and done asynchronously). If you're advanced, you might pull data from an API (still repacking data in a veneer of *ML)

I have a case of "shits already done" syndrome. For 99% of companies any old web framework will do. Those 1% that need a bit extra, spend the man hours on engineering ways round the deficiencies in the framework they chose. Most of that effort goes into expanding the namespace of the database, Because IO is a pain at scale.

I work in VFX where efficiency and scale really matter. I look after 16k cores and ~5+pb of tier 1 disk storage. 1% increase of efficiency in CPU usage is worth heafty cash. I've seen many, many fads. (Map+reduce, rails, mongodb, couchdb) All of them are re-inventions of the wheel (Map+reduce was seen as a task dispatching system, Rails was supposedly going to replace QT, Mongo/couchdb was supposedly going to replace a posix file system, and postgres as well)

We're now back at the stage where Postgres +SQL is awesome, Filesystems are good at storing unstructured data, and pythonQT really isn't that scary after all.

Although node.js and callbacks are starting to become popular now.....
An approach which I've had much success with is to make friends with people much higher in the chain and 100% ignore the office politics bullshit happening at your level. i.e. don't participate in rumour spreading, never talk negatively about co-workers, try and be positive even under adversity. Also, maximize your social, non-work, contact with co-workers. Go with colleagues when they get coffee, regularly go to Friday night drinks.

If there's only 1-2 layers between you and the CEO, then try and talk when him or her on a regular basis. Make an effort to remember what they are doing in life (perhaps he / she takes their kids to football practice multiple times a week). If you're in a larger organisation make an effort to become friendly with people outside of the Engineering chain of command.

There are stark differences to Martin Luther King, Jr. This current era is a time when people transcend borders more easily. King was fortunate to seize upon an entire network build-up behind a cause and behind him over many years. The punishments he faced by breaking segregation laws are gentle in comparison to the brand of "justice" and punishment Snowden is likely facing in his "homeland." One might imagine the likes of King, Mandela, and so on, recognizing this new face of oppression as did King did against the industry of military and against a government that's willing and eager to invade Vietnam and obliterate the Vietnamese under the mirage of virtue. One might imagine King now standing vocally strong in support of anyone who dares to not become a disposable pawn to today's prison economy. Yet it matters not. One might not want to conjecture; for, as always, a person's words are only one person's narrow perspective.
I'd like to point out the significant between "browser engine" (HTML/CSS/rendering, eg WebKit) and "browser", which relies on a rendering engine but encompasses a lot more functionalities. Servo, as far as I know, is the former, presenting it as a "browser" (even if only at an experimental level) is misleading.
The last version (0.2.1) should support Python 3.2 and 3.3.
No need for that. The configuration management of NixOS is baked right into the installation procedure. This makes it super simple to install a fresh machine completely from the configuration.nix file that you've developed over time.

These prices are likely a dramatic underestimate.

1 bedroom Apartments start at ~1400 a month. You can of course go cheaper if you rent a larger house with room mates (which in fact many people do). Food prices are outrageous, expect to pay at least $10 per person per meal if you go out to eat, $15 is more common.

But this page also doesn't mention any of the quality of life benefits of living in Redmond.

For one thing, crime is almost non-existent. Police vehicles regularly patrol the area 24/7. There is no noise, no one partying outside, no cars driving around blasting music, none of that.

And the city is maintained in an almost pristine state. The roads are damn near perfect. Pot holes are fixed within a week, if not days. City services are all around amazing, heck even the police are polite and a delight to deal with.

The commute to work is excellent. From out my door to into the work parking lot is about 5 minutes.

Direct access to Seattle, 15 minutes to downtown Seattle during non-rush hours.

And finally, the math in this Article is so bonkers, it seems like it'd apply to almost any major city. Rent in a "won't be stabbed" part of Seattle is higher than it is in Redmond. Rent in NYC or SF for a comparable quality of life is going to be much higher! (Can you even rent a place in SF proper that in in a neighborhood with virtually no crime?)

Perhaps my main complaint about living here is the scarcity of restaurants that deliver!
I find the lack of dynamically loaded modules more aggravating, personally. Having to recompile and optionally repackage the damn thing because you need a module not included in the base nginx is a pain.
It's not quite a pre-order. You explicitly bear part of the risk, so you're an investor. But you invest in exchange for the end-product, rather than equity.
Sure, for the business. But I meant as a consumer - why pay for a basic package when the experience is the same as free-to-air?
At my first job I inherited a project from a snr dev who decided to implement his own date logic instead of using the ones provided in .net

Anyway come feb 29th 2008 I get a call about some users were having issues. After not to long I figured out it was caused because of the leap year and his logic did not account for leap years. So I called them back and told them it would fix its self by tomorrow. I never actually bothered to fix the bug because a) I thought it was unlikely that the pos system would still be used in 4 years and b) the code was so bad in all areas that trying to fix anything had a good chance of breaking something else.

Lets just say that job was very character building

Lost trust does not mean the price has to fall. As I said, there is close to zero trust in the bitcoin economy, so a loss of the little trust isn't a big surprise. Most savy investors/bitcoin users won't have lost much money in this affair either, because they didn't trust MtGox more than some common criminal...
I find it funny how people calculate ridiculously low rent prices and an impossible $5/meal (isn't even unhealthy fast food slightly higher than that?), yet magically come to the conclusion that at least $200,000 are necessary.

My general impression about being a boss is that "one should treat others as one would like others to treat oneself" does not apply for such situation. Like business should focus on customers, leadership style should focus on employees. Some boss set example according to their value and standard, employees might just not appreciate that.

For example, a military style boss might value be at work on time, get your timesheet input on time, etc. and does an good job keeping them in check. Most innovative people with ENTP (rational inventor) personality people, or simply creative people will not appreciate that a bit. Result is low employee retention regardless of benefits. Well... that's just an example.

This applies both to male and female bosses. Things I observe in ineffective leaders:

Female bosses automatically associate their ineffective leadership with their gender;
Male bosses acts like higher ranked military personnel in an inappropriate setting (like growupkids mentioned);
Bosses fail to reevaluate their leadership style based on the data (most productive people keep leaving, they are generally 'kind' enough not giving you the real reason);
Bosses do not have actual authority (this happens a lot in Federal Government, bosses can't really fire employees, it's just terrible business);

> Yes, that's true, but it is not so useful, because it would not add much information to what we already know.

It might add plenty of information. It tells us the plane did not pass near a cell phone tower at all which at minimum rules out all the "plane landed safely at x/y/z" theories. Even if it passes over land, many of those are weaker signals and not going to pick up at all so we can rule out any argument based on whether people tried to send text messages or not.

> The simplest possible hijacking theory relies on one event:

Wait so in one case you count 4 things as "one event" and in the other case you count 4 things as a "complex series of effects"?

I honestly don't see the difference: sure one pilot could have done everything. There are also single things that can happen to a plane that could generate all those effects. I don't claim that is more likely than a hijacking or suicidal pilot but it seems about as reasonable as either.

I do think the hijacking and pilot suicide angles have serious issues with the facts that people tend to hand wave away.
