That is the same as saying: For me, it is pleasurable to pursue things I desire, even if it involved immediate physical discomfort, like exercise.

In fact, if you want to replace "pleasure" in my whole argument with "good feeling," that is perfectly fine.

Separately, I think you may be equating "satisfying desires" with "feeling good." They definitely aren't the same. In fact, you want to pick values (=desires) in your life that are going to maximize feeling good when you pursue and achieve them.

How does it defeat the purpose? We don't code on whiteboards, so just the mental transition of coding with a pen while standing up - under stress to boot - is not a good indicator of using proper tools the normal way.

Downvotes? Meh. Taking a notebook and writing the solution with sensible tools - while fielding unrelated questions from 4 interviewers - got me an offer.

Cognitive Computing Systems: An Important Cog in the Internet of Things Machine

E-mail clients are a terrible example. While relatively easy to install, they give you very little control, and no additional privacy.

To get all that, you need your own server. Ideally a home server, but many ISP forbid you to send e-mail at all (they close port 25). The next best thing is a remote virtual machine with root access. Either way, good luck installing Postfix and Dovecot. I have, and there's no way the "average user" could do the same.

So, of course you don't use an e-mail client.

"historian" is a fairly long word. If you stop to create a word break, and then aspirate heavily on the "h", it can be uncomfortable to say. If you don't, then the "h" can get very soft if people try to say the whole word quickly and I imagine that some people drop the "h" entirely because of that, or make the "h" so soft it feels natural to contract
As Fitbits for Feelings Emerge, Whither Empathy?
A new thought on android hybrid app concepts
so imma huge fan of hybrid apps because simply making native apps takes too much of work
specially the styling part
but the problem with the hybrid approach is that even in my S4 the performance is really poor

mostly the animations,transitions,scrolls and touch events
shows the sluggishness in all mobile frameworks

so i came up with an idea which seem to working so far,
that's to make the app native and use HTML if and only if needed
ex: for the Actionbar, side drawer, tab controls native components should be used
HTML parts would be used in things like Lists,forms, etc where we need to make it visually appealing and also responsive (since one of the main benefits of hybrid apps is not having to make separate layouts for each resolutions)

atm i'm trying out this on a commercial app to see the success, any ideas about this? :)
I was chatting about exactly this kind of app/service with a few friends two summers ago. They have an apple tree and can't possibly use all the fruit they get from it. There are probably other local people with other fruits/vegetables that they have a surplus of who'd be very happy to trade for some apples. This obviously isn't a new problem/idea but a simple website would help such people connect and possibly make new friends.

We never got around to building anything but it's strangely satisfying to see that others had similar ideas and actually shipped something. In the world of tweeting toasters and fridges that track your food (i.e Internet of Things/Everything), it would be great to have a list of available items automatically kept up to date (of course the incentive there is to avoid things spoiling in the first place).
What kind of courses?

Are they graphics and productivity apps (e.g. Photoshop, Microsoft Office, etc)?

Or are they programming & databases development stack? (E.g. PHP, Ruby, Javascript, etc).

If the courses are of the first category (product apps), the videos can be very helpful. That type of training is heavily task based. In other words, your eyes follow the instructor's mouse as it moves around the screen and you "look over his shoulder" to learn how to use software. It's much easier to learn Photoshop from dynamic video lessons rather than a static book.

However for category of programming, it is more of a mixed bag. You will often get higher density of information and best practices from books and blogs rather than videos. That's not to say there aren't any exceptional programming videos but on balance, the books are higher quality. However, some programming videos are heavily "task based" such as how to navigate around MS Visual Studio, or Eclipse, or setting of Apache web server.

Businesses shutting down faster than they are created could be a measure of an un-dynamic economy, but I think that given the relevant time scale, it's mostly a measure of consolidation. And the fact that businesses are consolidating isn't news or even surprising, or necessarily even bad.

In the Valley, technology has had the effect of making it easier to create new businesses (startups), so I can see why the HN crowd would assume that consolidation represents a negative trend. But the fact is that in the rest of the economy, technology has enabled consolidation and driven small businesses either into closing down or being acquired. Technology pushes out the boundary at which diseconomies of scale overtake economies of scale, enabling larger businesses to be more efficient.

Take a company like Amazon or Wal-Mart. Technology enables those companies to operate at massive scales, and using technology, they can replace thousands of smaller businesses while operating much more efficiently.

I suppose the other relevant trend has been what has happened in the financial markets. 1978-present was a period of massive M&A activity. Those with more capital spent it buying out those with less capital, and as a result industries that used to have dozens of competitors now have a handful.
Sorry, what does "splitting" mean in this context?
Sounds very insecure for a bank. Will they really automatically reverse any transfer you object to? What if they don't control the target account? What if there's no money on the other account anymore? What if it was a legitimate payment, you got what you ordered, and then you had the payment reversed?

I see a big hornet's nest of potential problems in a system like that.
Don't worry, soon, we won't. Just wait for the statistics to show autonomous cars are safer, legislation will soon follow. Give it 20, 30 years tops.

The gender of the original author is irrelevant.

There's no evidence that women are less sexist than men. In fact, all the evidences is that women and men discriminate equally against women:

http://ideas.time.com/2012/10/04/womens-inhumanity-to-women/

Of course, this does show the flaw of trying to judge the gender of a person by how they present themselves online; while on average men and women may show small differences in communication, there are of course many women that communicate in a "men's" manner and v.v.
Promising degradable plastic, created from shrimp shells
I agree with you on all of the points you listed. However, while all Arabs can understand the formal Arabic perfectly, many struggle to write it or express themselves in it, and that is not just a case of identity crisis.

I consider myself an Arab -- whether I'm proud of that is another issue, but there is not identity crisis. I can understand the news, read the newspaper, official documents, etc, etc, but I would not even dream of replying to a comment in Arabic as I can so easily do in English, and not just because I can't touch-type it, but because I would fail at expressing even simple ideas without a lot of struggling, trying to remember words that differ from the colloquial or(and especially) proper grammar.

While the case of Lebanese people is a bit extreme in this regard, all Arabs are slowly following suit in this regard.

You see, I was not saying that Arabic is so far gone now that nobody uses it, or even that not everybody in the Arab world uses it, that was not the point. I was only commenting on a trend. The parent poster suggested that Arabic was on a course to become dominant worldwide and I find that a laughable idea given the current state of it and its trend(slowly) into oblivion to be replaced by many colloquial languages that simplify the grammar and incorporate foreign languages into it the way this happened with Latin.

Chrome has a webRequest API [1], that lets you block any request initiated by your browser. Adblock Plus is using that API, and blocks everything that it blocks on Firefox also on Chrome.

But even on Safari Adblock Plus blocks requests loading images, frames, scripts and other resources, by cancelling the beforeload event. Though it is not possible to block XMLHttpRequests and requests initiated by third-party plugins like Flash.

The article casts doubt on whether the "Enduring Security Framework" is effective. Some people in the security industry think it's a put-on:

But some cybersecurity experts questioned the scenario outlined by Plunkett.

“There is probably some real event behind this, but it’s hard to tell, because we don’t have any details,” wrote Robert Graham, CEO of the penetration-testing firm Errata Security in Atlanta, on his blog in December. “It”s completely false in the message it is trying to convey. What comes out is gibberish, as any technical person can confirm.”

And by enlisting the NSA to shore up their defenses, those companies may have made themselves more vulnerable to the agency’s efforts to breach them for surveillance purposes.

“I think the public should be concerned about whether the NSA was really making its best efforts, as the emails claim, to help secure enterprise BIOS and mobile devices and not holding the best vulnerabilities close to their chest,” said Nate Cardozo, a staff attorney with the Electronic Frontier Foundation’s digital civil liberties team.

He doesn’t doubt that the NSA was trying to secure enterprise BIOS, but he suggested that the agency, for its own purposes, was “looking for weaknesses in the exact same products they’re trying to secure.”

The NSA “has no business helping Google secure its facilities from the Chinese and at the same time hacking in through the back doors and tapping the fiber connections between Google base centers,” Cardozo said. “The fact that it’s the same agency doing both of those things is in obvious contradiction and ridiculous.” He recommended dividing offensive and defensive functions between two agencies.

Two weeks after the "60 Minutes" broadcast, the German magazine Der Spiegel, citing documents obtained by Snowden, reported that the NSA had inserted backdoors into BIOS, doing exactly what Plunkett accused a “nation state” of doing during her interview.

PCI compliance requires we change our login passwords every two months. This to me seems to just encourage users to create insecure passwords and sticky notes with them written down somewhere in/on their desk.
> There's no API in Chrome and Safari to prevent network requests

Wrong (for Chromium-based browsers). I am genuinely curious about how you came to believe this. Trying to understand how come that myth is still so spread.

Here, the API:

Edit: To make it clear my comment is about chromium-based browsers.
> It isn't inflation "safe"; there's no inflation. And that isn't necessarily good. The money supply needs to grow as the demand for money grows (yes, the demand for money changes over time and circumstance).

Let's just say it's completely transparent in it's inflation. That is an objective advantage. You can argue that the inflation model is bad, but it is at least completely deterministic.

Crypto-currency can at least remove one piece in the chain of corruption that was often exploited before. Just like cryptographic communication does not prevent against all attacks, it does prevent against some.
Ah, in the UK it is standard for the machine to keep your card after three incorrect pin attempts. (at least I think it's the standard?)
Exactly correct. This implies that Cloudflare was using PowerDNS and (as was their right) chose not to pay for even basic support.

I'm not sure what else PowerDNS could have done in this situation, and I can only imagine their teeth gnashing when they found they'd lost a lighthouse user.

Typically, lighthouse customers almost always also pay for support. Upon reflection, their post-mortem blog post was extremely well handled and written.
The US's personal banking industry is like 20 years behind the rest of the developed world

People say Canada is a half-generation behind the US in banking innovation, which is generally in Canada's best interest. They've never had a banking crisis.

Not sure why, probably because the banks have all the money to lobby to keep things the same.

This response is worse than wrong, it's assuming bad intentions.

For personal accounts, banks are responsible for your money, even if the hackerz keylog your password and log on as you and steal your money. US banks already have all the incentive in the world to drive down fraud on personal accounts, and yet they seem to have decided it's not worth the time and money to clamp down on it.

Most likely it's because there are always other ways of fighting fraud. The US banking system is full of reversible transactions. From the outside, it sure seems the best use of limited resources is to choke the irreversible endpoints.

Amazon is still cheaper in most cases.
What I'm seeing here is a customer support problem. And IMHO, PowerDNS isn't taking the correct steps to solve it.

It's funny, because the answer is right in the article. If your customer:

* is large and/or interesting
* has a legal/security/marketing/ team that's worried about sharing information publicly
* has an IT dept that doesn't know the whole company is depending on a single open source product
* feels they have to use gmail accounts and made-up names to talk to you

Then maybe a public forum really isn't the place to expect your customers to ask for help.

I would suggest creating a partnership program for businesses like Cloudflare - swap tech support for publicity (which will then help drive adoption)

English has at least ~0.6 bits of entropy per character, probably (much) more, depending. (Got that from Wikipedia, so don't know how accurate that is)

So even if you are using an English passphrase, the logical upper bound for a max password length is ~1.7x the length of the hash you use.

"CEO responds to email."
I have definitely had this issue with Haraka (a highly scalable SMTP server). On the one hand we have Craigslist as a user, who have been incredibly open and contributed heavily to the project, and on the other we have had people post cryptic bug reports that it didn't work for them, but clearly they were trying to use it at an interesting scale, and we would love to have helped.

We pride ourselves on being one of the friendliest MTA communities out there, so to find people who give up and quit using it is always sad. Many times we've contributed custom code to companies for free to help them out, but we can't do that if you are silent. So speak up, companies, even if it's only in private messages.
Do we have a misunderstanding of the meaning of "wire transfer" here? Surely you can just send money to someone else's account through the bank's internet banking website?
