Why don't we have groups doing that sort of analysis on our behalf? Programmers are at a fundamental disadvantage when it comes to testing and verifying their own code. You can't trust a shop to verify itself when it comes to infrastructure this critical.

Hello,

I am involved with a company that deals with micro rewards. I am trying to get more info from my co founder who actually deals with it. I am guessing you are based in ATL. Email or tweet me. I am following you.
Removing clutter and unnecessary consumption gives you a lot more time to read and think. I am trying to minimize the waste in my life as well, and focus on local sustainable efforts. Reducing news consumption has freed up a lot of time for me. Keep voting with your money and time and hopefully we'll reach a tipping point. Good luck on your journey!

Another way to structure the chain is a chain of unbroken weeks, instead of days, especially for actions that stand a pretty good chance of being derailed by life. Like going to the gym. Mark a week as "checked off" if you hit the gym for at least 3 of the 7 days. That way you've got several "buffer days" to act as a cushion.

Adding to the parent above, a few more consideratios on anomaly and sensor distribution.

As a quick datapoint right now--the snow pack in the high sierra in CA above 11,000 feet is exceedingly variant to that below. This observed data conflicts with reported NOAA data, because of sensor location issues.

http://www.nohrsc.noaa.gov/nsa/

We are having a drought in CA and in the Sierras but the snowpack even versus last year is anomolaous only at certain altitudes. From what I've heard our storms have only been precipitating above a threshold floor (for various reasons). This is something that we've experienced in previous years as well (to some extent, in 2013).

The Wind-energy potential is also very non-uniform:

http://www.thepelicanpost.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/US_...

Just for a quick example. This involves both altitude (eg, wind/weather shadows) as much as micro-topography (ridgelines, etc). Again, which can impact sensor-reported anomaly (micro-climates, etc).

So a bit of caution when extrapolating to things like continental scale.
"It also forces you to express things kind of unnaturally (e.g. instead of 'click this and increment x', you say 'the counter is the count of all click events')"

I suppose it's personal preference, but I actually think that the latter of the two statements is much more understandable. This is why I like functional programming in general; a single value can be expressed as a declarative transformation of other pieces of data, making it clear how the value is derived. Using the imperative model, it's up to variable names and documentation to make it clear what 'x' is. It's like looking at one of those pictures that contains multiple shapes simultaneously; suddenly you see the one you haven't been seeing, and then you wonder how you didn't see it all along.
My gut feeling is that, bitcoin usage will take off in other use cases, maybe like digital transactions or restricting the use of money for certain things (like color coins).
Right. I perhaps wasn't sufficiently clear that I wasn't disagreeing with you in substance.

Don't agree. I like to see tech companies trying to become more than the old-fashion 9-to-5 grind without morals/ethic and only interested in the money. We have enough of those ruining the world already.

I'm happy to see mozilla rise above bigotry and get Eich out and I hope similar happens to Rice.

It's one thing to have your private opinion, I'm not calling for stormfront.org to be shut down(as extrememly disgusting as it is). It's another thing to put action to your opinions in the form of taking others' rights away(prop8) or wiretapping/murder/torturing people. It's time those of us in tech stop pretending we live in a vacuum without politics and make sure we send a clear message that we are(should be) very much against discrimination based on race/gender/orientation or gross human rights violations.
Well, #1 is a problem of the tools, not the language.
I have no particular standing in this debate, but I've decided that terms like "pitchfork mobs", "witch hunts", and "bullies" in the context of this issue are far too close to Godwin territory for my taste.

Has there been actual violence that I haven't seen covered in the news? All I've seen are consumers engaging in online discourse about ceasing use of a service.

I don't mind reading the contrary opinions, too, but I'd really like to read some that can explain their case without the hyperbole.
I have been in the same boat as you when it comes to side projects, but I'm curious about your use of the metaphor of "sucking the marrow from the bones" because that metaphor is typically used to describe completion to an extreme. For example, if "eating an animal" was your metaphor for working on a side project, I think that a more apt extension to that metaphor would be "leaving meat on the bone" rather than "sucking the marrow from the bones". However your metaphor refers to the marrow as "learning-marrow" which confuses the larger metaphor that is "eating an animal".

Have I completely misunderstood the extended metaphor you were trying to use?

If it can be satisfied in a way that is materially different from what was intended, then it is both under-specified and incorrect. This is a not-uncommon source of errors.

Natural language can be used with precision, and this is an important skill for engineers. Being able to identify ambiguity and inconsistency is an important part of that skill so yes, noticing it within a question should count in favor of the candidate. Dismissing it as being pedantic is the wrong response, because if you are working on something critical (secure communications software, for example) you need to handle ideas with precision.
Exactly.

funny, this domain is blocked by corp firewall for suspicious content....
Yeah--it should be a no-brainer. Running such critical code through as many static analysis tools you can get your hands on should be standard practice. I wonder why Coverity and the rest havent taken it upon themselves. I remember a story about Coverity running their tool on random open source projects and emailing them about issues they found. Maybe OpenSSL is too far in the hole to start that now.
I don't know who author of that mentions by saying "we", but I somehow don't feel I should respond to his call. I don't even really know who is that woman he is speaking about, I don't know about politics, I don't want to know. I can't even recall without googling who's running Dropbox right now and I surely don't know (I wonder if I could!) if they are good or bad people. I know Dropbox. Dropbox is a service that does something valuable to me. So, why should I be concerned?

I could be concerned if author explained me why and how is that Dropbox does something "bad". If it'd show that it will hurt customers or dolphins or whatever. I surely would be concerned if it'd show that there's no way we can trust Dropbox anymore because of that. But if it would be so I don't think I should trust them anyway, because, you know, Condoleezza Rice doesn't fall from the sky right in the directors chair usually, she's invited first. They are already connected somehow.

But manifesting some organization (that does something useful, which rarely the manifesting ones do) because of some woman-who-supported-war (or man-who-is-against-gay-marriages, for that sake) is sitting the hight chair in it is stupid. I don't think I could use anything if I protested about every company having some personality I disagree with in its owners/directors list (however their names may be somewhat less known than "Condoleezza Rice").

And if you want to hurt that Rice specifically for some reason — too bad, but I don't think that's big problem for her. I believe she has money to avoid dying of starvation anyway already.

Agreed. But lots of things that were not coding. I'm guessing Google was all staffed up on people to do those things. And "All" does invoke a feeling of more than 5 to me to. If the company was 80 men and 20 women and they took all the men and none of the women, then I'd say there was some issues. But "all" 4 men and not the 1 women (who happened to have a different skill set)... meh. I'm not convinced.

> Is it still money laundering now that the IRS has said that Bitcoin is property and not currency?

Since that was an interpretation of categories in tax law, which are completely different than those applicable to money laundering, the IRS determination on how bitcoin is taxes probably has no bearing on any analysis of how money laundering laws apply.
I think there can be some simple regulation. IE take this public office and you must remain impartial for the rest of your career. It should be a privilege to serve.

Take a look at Aspartame controversies. In essence the US Attorney charged with opening a grand jury into their research withdrew and took a job working for Searle, manufacturers of Aspartame. The Grand Jury never occurred. A few years later the FDA Commissioner who gave Aspartame the green light went on to work for their PR company. To this day people don't trust Aspartame even though (debatably) the research shows it's safe.

So even perceived conflicts of interest can adversely affect public perspectives on the objectivity of scientific research. That's not good in a democracy.

Coursera tends to be less consistent, but I've had some really good classes...and one so bad that I was 'that guy' who stated everything they thought was wrong with the class.

Anyway, the big difference I see is that MIT OCW films instructors in their natural habitat and all the Coursera videos are shot up close and personal and this makes some professors unusually self conscious. Others are willing to not worry about production values and let their warts and quirks come across - they will be informative but not particularly entertaining...e.g. Ullman or Sedgewick both of whose courses are really good if a student is interested in the topic.
My CA can create "twin-me" cert that can be used in future to impersonate me in an active, targeted attack.

Maybe OT, but are the OpenSSL project and OpenBSD project related in any way? For some reason I was thinking it was like the OpenSSH project.

Well I totally disagree, Its a very fair example. We are talking about re-appeal process here and Google's way of handling it. The guy lost his play store account, wallet account and what not and on top of that his appeal was not even read(far away from reconsideration) by a human. I remember how google blocked my Adsense account and all my re-appeal request fell on some deaf ears of a lousy program which simply denied restoring my account. Its simply Gangster like behavior!!
OK. Thanks for cheap drinks, I guess, but what's in it for you? I mean, how long do you plan to keep this up?
Its called 'aquihired' for a reason. They didn't need any of the startup besides the talent.
Good advice for for the author of that rage-filled patch as well.

> ideological purity is now a litmus test for who can serve on a board of directors in the startup world.

Most of the negative comments on this thread are about her actions, not her ideological purity. The criticisms focus on her role in the Iraq War, 9/11, Katrina, not her political affiliation. Critics are outraged that the candidate hired for her decision making ability has a record of making very poor decisions that had severe deleterious effects.

>It is easy enough to whip oneself up into a lather over Ms. Rice’s policies if one disagrees with them but what about the half of America (or whatever significant percentage) that does not. And why should this be relevant to board service?

Ms. Rice has expressed support for warrantless wiretapping and mass surveillance. Many users are concerned that these views are inappropriate for someone working at a company that hosts our data.

>Politics, religion, and social worldviews divide people and have no place as limiting tests in a business environment. Scolding and finger-wagging...

Her support for mass surveillance is very relevant to Dropbox's business.

I disagree strongly with your supercilious characterization of the outrage as an example of close mindedness and bigotry. I believe that you made your post in earnest but it is hard not to see it as malicious. Your fatuous attempts to classify the outrage about the hiring of a supporter of mass surveillance, torture, and the Iraq War as similar to the oppression of minorities and the blacklisting of suspected Communists in the 1950s is so outrageous that it is offensive.

Ms. Rice is not a founder, and she is not being persecuted for her political views. She is disliked because of her actions, not her views, and your failure to distinguish between the two is troubling.
I wonder if this opens up the possibility of a Comixology API similar to IMDB.

8 a day damn i would be up for a month.
Yes, that's a good point. It would be better to create one distribution for each day of the year, with the values drawn from the 2-3 weeks before / after that day, but we chose a month to minimize the computational complexity. Presumably these artifacts wouldn't affect the aggregate trend over time, only the appearance of more outliers at the beginning of March / October, etc. each year. We also were drawing inspiration from NOAA's Climate Extremes Index which uses monthly data:

At the bottom it said range 30 km and time "up to" 3 hours, which might mean a speed of 10 kph? That seems too slow to be interesting, at least after you've ridden it a couple of times. The videos were confusingly cut to hide something, which I'm guessing is the slow speed.

Markdown in bash
I've noticed in management positions particularly since they're usually the ones that need to make sure the job is done but don't have the time to sit down with the engineers and figure out how/why it takes so long to work. Then there is the ego that everyone has to maintain some non-existent dominance amongst others..

There's a love hate relationship to this imo - it works if everyone has that same level of ego so it becomes a health level of competition, but this is rarely the case.
The Need for an iOS Dev Program for High Schoolers

No, they're not. OpenSSL just shares the same naming convention with OpenBSD and OpenSSH (which IS developed by the same people that do OpenBSD).
No, it's not. People forget that.
so -- would it be reasonable to create a minimal implementation of ssl focused on web browsers and web servers? How much work is it to create such a minimal implementation that is reasonably performant, written by competent devs, well tested, fuzzed, etc? Just because random shit gets thrown into the protocol that doesn't mean it needs to be implemented in my copy of chrome or nginx...

Koala Hates Rain : Game open sourced
In Ada you have subtype, so you would write

subtype my_type is Integer range 0..10;
my_type x = 9;
my_type y = 10;
my_type a = x + y;

So, obviously there is enough information to deduce at compile time that the sum operation yields an incorrect value. In practice, as many of the replies point out, you can determine no such thing (my_type x = user_input()).

In that case Ada will throw a runtime exception. All this checking is expensive, so it ends up being much like C/C++, where you have debug and release builds, where the release builds do not do the checking.
A neat aspect of this is that you can also use it to edit webpages based on the current structure in a WYSIWYG fashion. Just go to some page (Hacker News, Facebook, etc.), press Command-A, Command-C, open this URL into a new tab, and press Command-V.

Totally agree that overall Facebook Ads is great for demand generation while Google Adwords is much better for demand fulfillment. Also you're right on the attribution model, Facebook clearly attribute to itself every conversion from people who clicked the ad no matter of the last click.

No, they aren't related at all. OpenSSH is everyone's poster child for a good, open implementation of a security protocol.
