Pacific Corp serves relatively rural northern California (most of their customers are in adjoining states). Infrastructure cost per customer is high there (and a sparse layout creates situations where redundancy doesn't make a lot of sense).

Your Indian company is a quasi-government entity (or government influenced entity, I didn't dig into it very far) intended to improve quality of service in the the capital city of the country.

Wikipedia says the SAIDI for the U.S. is ~1.5 hours, so NDPL should anyway survive comparison to some more relevant U.S. providers (but I speculate that you have not found an average provider for India).

"bad tactics"

If you remove the morality and ethical language, I have had some fun answering questions experimentally along the lines of "is it even theoretically possible even with save scumming to (insert unusual and adventurous idea/tactic here)" Yes I'm quite literate and I understand the scenario is trying to railroad me into following a certain very narrow track of gameplay, but I want to explore well outside that narrow track. Or rephrased, my idea of a fun "narrow track of tactics" doesn't map identically to a scenario designers "narrow track of tactics"

This is a fundamental moral / ethical difference between computer based (mmo)RPGs and paper/pencil RPGs, on the computer creativity is seen as inherently wrong, and on paper/pencil creativity is seen as correct. There's probably a startup idea or two buried in there. The world already has too many rules lawyer paper games, but a computer game that rewards creativity without turning into a themeless story free sandbox is a somewhat unsolved problem. There do exist some, especially historical, but to say its an underserved market would be an understatement.
We appear to be talking about ABP on desktop firefox, no?
You can't invoke binaries on the host that way, though.
Same here; I stopped using ad blockers a long time ago since click-to-plugin performs the essential function they were providing for me. Perhaps I'll reconsider when "HTML5" ads get more annoying/use more resources.
It plays more like a puzzle game, actually. It’s not about twitch reaction skills (though you can make it about that if you just decide to run; speed runs will be interesting with this game), it’s about figuring out the best course of action in a much more methodical and slow way. It’s very much unlike every other first person shooter out there (even those with bullet time).

Much of the quality of the final game will depend on the level design, though I’m somewhat optimistic, given that their seven day prototype already delivered pretty solidly on that. You should really play their prototype to get a feel for their game. It’s quite unique.

Also, SUPER HOT definitely grows on you after hearing it a million times during the prototype.
>if chemical analysis of your tissues can provide useful information for recruitment we should embrace it.

I disagree.

There are no fields in which poor health is an advantage. So, that idea extrapolated, their are no jobs which wouldn't benefit in some way from having the most healthy staff possible.

I'm of the opinion that it is the job of recruitment staff to secure employees who are capable of doing the job that's asked of them, capable of advancement, and capable of a degree of amiability which will allow them to work well with the other parts of the system.

If chemical analysis were to be used normally in the course of recruitment, it'd no longer be a game of determining if the candidate was capable of the task, but rather a min-maxing of attributes which would be expected to produce a company with the results desired.

Simply put : I, too, fear that chemical composition is far too simple a criteria to judge a possible (human) candidate on.
You are not convinced, but most Rust users are convinced. I guess time will tell.

I started using Rust from Rust 0.5 (December 2012). I saw zero oscillation so far. From what I can see, Rust is converging, rapidly.

Consider this: you can observe these at all because Rust is developed in the open. I think you would have similar reaction if you could observe Go development done behind the closed door before the release.
Its not just about the classes and education. Its about the resume.

The Ivy League doesn't teach you anything you can't get at another school, but it makes it easier to get your next job which is what college is all about.

Ivy League schools do tend to offer slightly better than average educations partially because of their funding. The alumni are successful, and tend to give a lot of money back to the schools which offsets some of the cost for the undergrads. When my wife was attending undergrad, for example, she filled out the FASA paperwork, and then they paired her up with an alumni who just wrote a check to cover the portion of the cost that would otherwise be a student loan. If you are interested in any kind of research science, the Ivy League schools do tend to have well funded research programs also.

I am married to a Princeton grad, but I went to USMA myself. My school was similar in some ways, but its in a different sports league, and offers less undergraduate research options.

Maybe they should just be advised to use PFS/ECDHE instead (which should be done anyway), and it would solve this problem by itself.
I would like to see a lighter blocking list—one that doesn’t try to be absolutely comprehensive, but just focuses on the 95% of ads that can be fixed at 10% of the cost (actually I think it’d be more like 99% at 0.1% of the cost).
"Type your password into your telephone"

DTMF/Touch-Tone wasn't introduced until 1963 (and then being an extra-cost option from the Bell System). So more like "Dial your password into your telephone". Rotary phones didn't have Q or Z either.
I switched from ABP to this hosts file a few months ago and I have zero regret. My browser's faster, lighter and ads are blocked just as well as with ABP.

I actually even started splitting my hosts file: the layout is

/etc/hosts ('compiled' version)
/etc/hosts.d/
/etc/hosts.d/aaa-warning (warning reminding me to run `update-hosts` instead of modifying /etc/hosts. Appears atop the compiled file)
/etc/hosts.d/adblock (that website's hosts file)
/etc/hosts.d/base (original system hosts file)
/etc/hosts.d/dolead (work-related file for development)

And I have the following functions in my .bashrc file:

function update-hosts() {
cat /etc/hosts.d/* > /etc/hosts;
}

function update-adblock() {
curl http://someonewhocares.org/hosts/zero/hosts -o /etc/hosts.d/adblock 2> /dev/null
update-hosts
}

So if I want to update "adblock" (it is obviously an improper name) I simply do `sudo update-adblock` and if I change another file (mostly `/etc/hosts.d/dolead`) I'll just run `sudo update-hosts`.

Works wonders.
That depends on the proxy. Systems that effectively MITM your own network's traffic have been around for some years now. All you need for outbound connections is to install an additional certificate in your browser so the proxy can act a trusted partner for HTTPS.

I don't know whether anyone has made such a proxy for use in the kind of situation we're talking about here, however.
I agree, but this doesn't sound like a proper FPS.
My mistake; you were correct. My comment would argue in favor of your point rather than against it.

I suspect in both cases, it's an entirely different cause than the format of the school system that is responsible for the high results.
Then luck it will be.

Try and get featured on some local blogs, yellow pages etc.

Most Imp: Build a strong network in real world and keep updating everyone.

FOllow these and jobs will start pouring like anything.
uh? you can totally filter HTTPS with a proxy, especially with a local one. Either use the option to activate the dump of you keys on disk (a one-liner on every browser) and point the proxy to that file, or just break the SSL in 2 and rely on the proxy for the actual cert check.
The paper is a bit dated, but Peggy McIntosh recently gave an interview where she discussed some of the concerns you seem to be speaking to:

The key thing is to let people testify to their own experience. Then they’ll stop fighting with each other... “Unless you let the students testify to what they know, which schools usually don’t let them do, they will continue to do just what the dominant society wants them to do, which is to tear each other apart.” The students who are sitting there fighting with one another aren’t allowed to have their lives become the source for their own growth and development. Adrienne Rich wrote, at the beginning of women’s studies, “Nobody told us we have to study our lives, make of our lives a study.”

Yes, it looks like a great mechanic and I really love to see that mechanic happen. But I believe that FPS don't live from such a mechanic alone. The atmosphere and the balanced, interesting set of weapons is what makes the game or not. Sadly the video does not show much about that area of the game so it's hard to say if it will be super hot or not.

You might try that if you want to get very creative with your tactics.

A proxy cannot dynamically interact with the DOM, so it cannot do everything a plugin can. I think the solution is to use better datastructures in the plugin and improve the integratation of the plugin with the browser.
It looks like they are in the data gathering phase for a 510(k), as an exempt IVD. From their site:

"Cue Inc. will be conducting tests and collecting information and data from a number of individuals to ultimately support submission to FDA of a pre-market notification 510(k). We hope that you will consider voluntarily participating in these tests. These tests are exempt for Investigational Device Exemption requirements because the testing (a) is noninvasive; (b) does not require an invasive sampling procedure that presents significant risk; (c) does not by design or intention introduce energy into a subject, and (d) is not used as a diagnostic procedure without confirmation of the diagnosis by another, medically established diagnostic product or procedure."

I'm curious what they'll cite for predicate devices.

Chrome has a "star" button right in the address bar, FF and IE have Ctrl+B to create a bookmark.

And both Chrome and FF have a pretty good auto-complete in the address bar (I just have to type "ne" to get Hacker News, "ma" for google mail, "youp" and "yout" for video streams, etc pp).

People vastly underestimate the power of keyboard shortcuts. I work as a freelance consultant/support guy and everyone is surprised how fast I work with even the slowest computers. Most can't believe how much time one can save by knowing at least Ctrl+C/Ctrl+V, Alt-Tab and Ctrl-Tab.

You should not be responsible for website security if you don't understand the absolute basics of SSL certificates.

It would be helpful if the CA (or reseller) confirmed (dispay a warning) that you really want to reissue with the same private key and explain the implications of doing so.

When reissuing a certificate the default behaviour should be to revoke the old one after some specified time has elapsed - that is what reissuing is for and what distinguishes it from simply buying a new certificate.

>and JavaScript execution is usually the dominant consumer of memory.

That's forgetting the DOM, which is often the actual cause for slowness & memory consumption, but gets far less spotlight than JavaScript. This is also a reason why a framework like react.js is so interesting: it circumvents the real DOM when computing (on a virtual DOM), and only applies the end result.

Full stop right there and you're correct. I really prefer to limit code that looks like:

I'd rather have the HTML loaded as one file and have the javascript in another acting on that HTML. Right now my favorite library to use for this is Knockoutjs.

The "Is that legal?" question is extremely complicated because you're looking for a positive answer in a marketplace full of a bazillion theoretical negative answers. They're not "selling GPL without releasing the source" as long as github doesn't go out of business. Is it legal, in the sense that there used to be a raging debate if your agreement to sell on the apple store was invalid thus illegal if you "sold" GPL'd software, which I stopped caring about once I got rid of my last iDevice and went all Android, so it may or may not be legal to "sell" GPL software on at least some app stores. Another app store example, for no reason I'm aware of, wesnoth used to be stuck in the incoming queue on fdroid, I donno why or if that was ever resolved or if it had anything to do at all with the license.

That's why you only allow the CDN hosting the videos to run JavaScript and disallow the ad network hosts from running JavaScript. Best of both worlds - you get your video stream but never have to run the ad network JS.

Metadata are optional. You only have to use them if you need to add extra info, like VAT rates.

I see you include the VAT on the final amount. But there are some people who prefer to add the VAT to the final amount if needed. In your case, $60 for EU customers and $50 for non-EU customers. With the use of metadata, the user decides which logic he prefers.

Thanks for all your feedback! There are some really interesting and useful ideas. Hope to give you some good news soon ;-)

In the suggestions for ways to improve the situation:

"politicians need to be better at talking about the real state of affairs of the country, rather than spinning the numbers."

I worked for a company in this space for a bit. My 2% of a dollar: the tech probably isn't BS. They're most likely using direct colorimetric assays, and also possibly immunoassays (think ELISA). I'd be concerned about the sensitivity of their assays from such a small sample volume (a drop of blood is about 20 microliters). Vitamin D in particular is tricky due to its low blood concentration. I'd hope that they are doing something clever with fluidics to amplify the signal. The price of the reader seems about right (if just a bit low to encourage adoption). Their business model is likely a) dependent on a razor-and-blades strategy, with expensive consumables, and b) dependent on the system cost being reimbursable through insurance.
At the risk of stating the obvious, if your site is ad-funded then annoying users who don't see your ads so they go away and don't come back is a win. If they bitch about it to their friends who also wouldn't see your ads and those friends don't visit in the first place, it is an even bigger win.

Portal flashed in my mind as I played through this game. Specifically, the idea of being thrust in to a world you don't yet know all the rules of and having to figure them out as you go. I'd almost prefer if they didn't flash the instructions in big letters and you have to learn the mechanics on your own.
I'd say the media also has an important role to play in this. Also, piratepartyUK.
It really depends on the market. My prior project went well with 10 day free trials. People installed it, it did what they wanted, so they kept it.

Current project...trials are popular, but getting people engaged in the trials is tough. Lots of engagement diet day..then it drops sharply off,many no amount of emailing bumpsup the return rate about a percent or two.

I think it depends on the market, the product and the price point. I think for free trials to work, the person has to have a recurring use for the product, and can easily get value after a short and simple install/initiation session.
