Actually, Turkey just started being democracy (was under military rule for a long time) and this is a push of non-democratic forces to leave things as usual.
This proposal has been around for a while (April 2011 version: http://www.w3.org/TR/2011/WD-css3-grid-layout-20110407/ ) and if I recall correctly it has been on and off the Firefox roadmap. https://wiki.mozilla.org/Platform/Roadmap#Layout

"CSS Grid Layout is coming to Firefox in 2012": http://www.2ality.com/2012/03/css-grid-layout-firefox.html

So where is Firefox support for this? Was there a good reason to delay, or was it just other priorities? Did flexbox take much longer than expected?
"Brilliant" is so broad. Some people are brilliant in a particular subject; some are brilliant in the breadth of their knowledge; some of brilliant socially; some are brilliant analytically; etc.

I like the author's anecdotes and agree with some conclusions because I've run into people with the same personality traits. (We all probably have.) But Newton was both brilliant and stubborn as was Einstein. They didn't understand something in the physical world so they continued thinking about it until they were satisfied.

Human organizations need a balance of brilliance and plodders. I'd say they need many fewer brilliant people because it takes a large number of plodders to bring their ideas to fulfillment. But the brilliant people are looking to the future while the plodders are dealing with today.
Awesome, thanks. I can figure it out from that example most likely, but an article would never hurt :D

How much did Google spend on lobbying for that brige? In Mountain View, who opposed the bridge?

Maybe the denial had nothing to do with money. I've seen projects denied at the city level for lack of proper permits, zoning, insurance, studies, etc, etc. Even a bad presentation at a council meeting could derail a project (I've seen that too).

Compared to a company like ATT, Google spends peanuts on lobbying. In fact, the whole tech sector does, compared to the health sector, banking, or defense.

I think there is also a fairly strong argument that free peering with Netflix directly is a net neutrality violation. You are giving Netflix data a huge advantage over other video services. Netflix talks about the little guy, but the little guy doesn't get to just dump his traffic onto the ISP for free.

> If they lost the keys(as in, lost the wallet.dat with the keys in it) and were able to generate a valid private key given only a public bitcoin address... bitcoin is dead, game over, pack it up.

This is a realistic scenario. If the private key generation was of the same quality as the rest of their code (i.e. using a weak PRNG), the reconstructing a private key may be doable.

It's not like Bitcoin wallets weren't previously cracked using this method in the case of an Android wallet misusing the crypto API (http://arstechnica.com/security/2013/08/google-confirms-crit...)

A competent entity in possession of MtGox source code may be in a good position to steal all the loot.
Totally agree with you. This is temporary.

Update etcd with connection details on container start/stop. Then use a script to watch the appropriate directory in etcd for changes and regenerate the config.

Look at "fleet" from CoreOS, and especially their "sidekick" example that uses systemd dependencies to trigger etcd updates: https://coreos.com/docs/launching-containers/launching/launc... though you can certainly do this without fleet too.

Then on the haproxy/varnish box (or put them in a container), put something that does "etcdctl exec-watch /services/website -- updateconfig.sh", where updateconfig.sh would be a script to watch for changes and regenerate the config / reload.

I don't see how your config will get "bloated" any more than it would otherwise - presumably your number of domains won't increase.

There's still some stuff before I can consider switching from Chrome, most are OS X specific-ish:

- No swipe animation for going back/forward in history.

- Doesn't have that native feel for "over-scrolling". You know when you try to scroll beyond the page and see that grey linen
stuff.

- No Keychain integration (yes I know there's an addon, but I would rather see this integrated).

- Even though there's been plenty of improvements, the dev tools in Chrome feels more polished and feature complete.
It doesn't run Linux - the devices themsleves run as a thin-clients, that connect to a server. The server converts webpages into data and streams them to the device.

The server is running vanilla Ubuntu with Visionect Packages.

Weev is not a good guy imo. I'm not even sure I prefer him outside of prison walls for some of his past actions (although of course the solitary stuff is outrageous).

But: He really must be acquitted for the actions he is now in jail for. There is just no way this should ever be punishable. Otherwise it would set a very bad precedent for corporation bullying of people that uncover negligence when it comes to customer security.
Hm. People actually die slowly. If you planted a tree every time someone was born, it would be far more effective!
That doesn't assign an ip address to the container, it just determines which of the hosts addresses are forwarded to the container. But you can certainly use that to keep a fixed IP, if you use a suitable script to update iptables. You can use that if the host machine is changing as well, as long as an IP address is only ever used by containers that will be on the same server. Just add the IP on the new host, remove it from the old, and use arpsend -U -i [ip] [interface] to speed up the ip takeover. I use it fairly regularly to live-migrate services.

So common for wrongdoers to resort to such rationalization to justify their wrongdoings.

It's called C++.

And I can tell you, from my own experiences, your backend isn't going to be as cross platform as you dream of it being because everything from networking on down is done differently on Android and iOS. Which isn't to say that you can't front-end all of that with a shim in C# or C++ or whatevs, but on mobile, the bulk of the hard stuff is UI anyways and there is no cross-platform panacea as of this writing.

Apologies for the late reply tech market just went crazy last couple of days! Completely agree, technology, biotechnology in particular will literally touch everything, and individual companies certainly you can't invest too much.

My concern is not for the consumer who will benefit immensely. My concern is as an investor is the lack of barriers to entries which make picking winners tough. The other key questions are the negative side effects of tech
e.g. 1. How do we handle the increasing the accelerating divide between the haves and have nots?
2. With technology becoming increasingly integrated to our lives (and our bodies) what privacy issues does that bring?
etc etc fascinating times ahead!

How to make money from Spotify by streaming silence
I'm aware that they existed, but clearly they were very immature as compared to how they are now. PHP on the other hand was in it's heyday, and (clearly) fulfilled all of the needs of Zuckerberg and the other developers. A suggestion at the time that they use a language like ruby or python would probably never have been made, and for good reason - and it almost certainly wouldn't have been adopted. It's just not realistic to suggest that early FB had this vast array of choices for which language to use.
The way this article is written makes way more sense if you imagine the author were a time traveler not of our era.

Difficulty of testing is a generally reliable indicator of a design that's in deep pain. [Growing Object-Oriented Software, Guided by Tests](http://www.growing-object-oriented-software.com) is easily one of the two or three most influential technical books I've read in my career — and the book's only five years old.

When I'm spelunking through some dank and dimly-lit Rails-model God Objects, I often fantasise about how things would be different if certain influential developers had read that book or one like it before setting out, and had taken the lessons to heart. Then I swap the batteries in my headlamp, and continue my descent.

Yeah, there's no accepted way to do Websockets in Python. I'd say Autobahn is probably the closest we have to something like that.

That said, it isn't too difficult to hack something together. Kenneth Reitz did a nice little project for Flash websockets that I like:

Python 3.4 has that nice ayncio module built in. I'm hoping it'll be a big draw for people into Python 3.

The graphic is awesome, looks beautiful. But tells me absolutely nothing. When I mouse over what I assume are events it tells me nothing, when I click, it doesn't tell me whats happening. Just national stats.

Are the visuals procedurally generated? Are they detected? Whats going on? It tells me blue is a virus scan, but then why is it jumping across oceans? I'm assuming that a flash is when their program does something?
I’m not sure this is making sense: how can you recover money that was stolen if it was stored aside? Has MtGox ever officially explained the reason the BitCoins were gone?
You don't have to buy it, it's an undeniable reality. Yes, if you're an enterprise and you can afford to write native apps for all platforms, then that's the better choice. If you're a small startup or a single developer, writing the app 3 times is just not cost effective.

> You have 0 control over distribution though, which is pretty important to me.

Simply having to wait a week to get approved for the iOS App Store (and less on Android) doesn't constitute 0 control over distribution. You can still release the app to the store when you want, if you plan ahead, and pull it whenever you like. Less control, yes, but not zero.

Also, how is this different from writing a non-native app? The same rules apply to distributing web apps if you want them to be in the store. True that you can release it as a website whenever you want, but that's not really the same thing.
This would be extra great if we could integrate it with Evernote.

I already do similar stuff with the Evernote Clipper for saving content, but if I could also share on social networks and do the Evernote clipping in the same workflow it would probably remain installed.

I agree with you so completely. I have seen this all my life, especially with myself. The things I am proud of are not those brilliant ideas lying half finished somewhere. It is those imperfect, simple things that I finished but which work and which still work now and which are a continual source of pleasure.
Law enforcement would have to work up the caring to actual track you down. There are hundreds/thousands/tons of [D]DoSs launched everyday from 10MB/s to colossal 400Gbps attacks. 99+% of attacks aren't going to be investigated.
According to Jerry Pournelle, who's among other things a political scientist (academic and practicing, at least in times past), Turkey had a to his knowledge unique system where they Army "kept a lid" on thing by coming out of their barracks when the civilians got out of hand, hanging the appropriate ones, and then the unique thing, going back into their barracks. Erdogan obviously included dismantling/defanging the Army as he dismantled the rest of what Atatürk wrought.

Which is a great shame. Per David "Spengler" Goldman, it's the only Muslim Middle Eastern country with world class universities (I believe he's defining that region as from Iran to the west), and otherwise had great potential.

Ah, another note from Goldman, both Turkey and Iran are facing core population demographic collapses, e.g. soon enough Kurds will be a majority in the former. They are acutely and publicly aware they have about one generation to do something about this....
I'm probably just going to show my ignorance, here...but why doesn't container linking solve this problem?

Could you not run multiple docker containers/services behind a single nginx or apache container on a production server? Then the nginx container basically gets one of your public IP addresses, and you use linking to that container to provide it with knowledge of the other running processes' IP addresses (each within their own container, of course). In that way, you have one public facing container which has knowledge of the other containers and can use the information provided through -link to configure the nginx server to route requests appropriately. This requires a bit of bash script / sed command line hackery to update your nginx configuration to accommodate the changing IP addresses of the other containers on restart (unless you can set them by hand now using Docker, we still don't), but once you get it setup you never have to think about it again.

Like I said, maybe I'm just showing my ignorance, but something like the above scenario is how we get around hosting multiple services with limited public IP addresses available.
> The problem, in short, is that the Assistant U.S. Attorney Glenn Moramarco doesn’t understand what Weev did and instead compared his hacking to “blowing up a nuclear plant in New Jersey.” He said:

>> We have a case here where…[the defense] is arguing that this was completely open to everyone. But you look at the testimony of Daniel Spitler and the steps he had to take to get to this wide open Web and I’m flabbergasted that this could be called anything other than a hack. He had to download the entire iOS system on his computer. He had to decrypt it. He had to do all sorts of things—I don’t even understand what they are.

Wow.

When a prosecutor is not only technically illiterate, but proud of their illiteracy, they should be disbarred.

In my opinion, this individual's statement makes them sound like a self-aggrandizing, grade-A asshole -- the prosecutorial equivalent of an ambulance chaser with a low-def ad on late night TV and a strip-mall office that smells like moldy carpet.
Haha. It happened already.

If you've ever visited DC, it's plainly visible in the skyline. There is a law stating no buildings can be taller than the monuments, so all the buildings are the roughly same height.

There are a handful of true government buildings, and everything else is associations, thousands of them, things like american dental association, metal workers association, etc. There are so many associations there is an association of associations.

It is these people writing the laws. The congressmen don't even read them all before they sign them.
Absolutely — just like I’ve personally expressed doubts about not being able to tell limos apart from other cars: as a cyclist, both tend to park at random places; taxis also tend to drive more aggressively and pay less attention to side mirrors, I hope Uber drivers won't ever go that trend.

Taxi rules are not just about signaling trustworthy transporters to users.

We will be discussing the use of Video to Grow your business, 12pm EST. Follow #startupchats
I agree with you to a point. The problem with this scenario is that the ISP business is built off the principle of giving users high download speeds, but with the expectation that they won't be maxing out their connection all that frequently. The higher the average/peak usage, the higher the infrastructure costs to provide good service.

It used to be that the only people who did this we're downloading games or movies off BitTorrrent: when that was the case, it didn't affect the ISP business model that much.

Enter Netflix. It's pretty ubiquitous and even your grandma can use it. Everyone loves it and everything works well. For a while. Then Netflix decides they want to push 1080p videos out to all their users instead of 720p. This doubles or triples the bitrate of the videos overnight. With adaptive bitrate players, the stream will adjust to use all available bandwidth.

Who should bear the cost of technical changes that Netflix makes? Many would say "the ISPs! Stick it to the man!" But at the end of the day, ISPs are a business. If their costs rise, they will raise prices on consumers unless they can cover those costs another way.

In the end, you're gonna pay the ISP one way or another. Which is more fair to you? ISPs raising rates across the board (including some people who aren't netflix users) to cover those costs, or passing the costs on to Netflix, who then pass them to Netflix subscribers only. It's all about who should bear the cost for technical upgrades given the way the ISP business model works today.
I feel like I've seen dashboards become more and more popular lately. I've been meaning to set one up for my company for a while now but never got around to it because of the difficulty of getting it setup right and finding the right metrics (even when using the popular services such as geckoboard, leftronic, etc..)

Who here uses a real time business dashboard? Why or why not? Any problems you've experienced with it?
