Origin of the phrase: Moon on a stick

"phrase used widely by teenagers and young adults in the mid 90s as it was made popular by the comedy geniuses Stew Lee & Richard Herring.
they used it mostly in the second series of their hit tv & radio show 'Fist of Fun'.[1]
It means basically to want everything, if you want the moon on a stick then you want everything, including things you can't have."[2]

What (if anything) are you using for cluster management? I would love to migrate some of our existing VM clusters to docker, but the management tooling once you get past a single host seems to be lacking.

I've looked at CoreOS + Fleet which seems like a great architecture, but lacks a UI. Shipyard seems more basic on the architecture front but further along on the UI side.
You have some valid points, but they explicitly said lighttable was an inspiration, so Chris' stance should not be confused with hubris.
This is interesting. Do you have any details?
It's pretty unfair to compare against a 5-digit password.
Yep, not an abuse of power at all. Seizing all the evidence to interfere with a legal proceeding. This seems perfectly legit to me!

I'd hope that the U.S. Marshals [as a service] would have people fired for this and a Judge would find whoever ordered this to be in contempt. However, I really expect this just to be ignored beyond the ACLU/News reporting on it. :/
> In the Sarasota case, the U.S. Marshals Service claimed it owned the records Sarasota police offered to the ACLU because it had deputized the detective in the case, making all documentation in the case federal property.

This is pretty outrageous.
Kudos for crediting "Threes"! That game doesn't get enough credit amidst the popularity of 2048.
> Do you trust OpenSSL?

Good question, but one with no influence on whether I trust protonmail. The threat model is different: Openssl is so widely deployed that all is lost for me if it's broken. I'd assume protonmail uses it for it's SSL connections (the webserver pretends to be an apache). If there's an exploit, the attacker can at any time MITM my connection to protonmail and at his discretion inject javascript that captures my decryption password or message.
Brazen, really. They're not even trying anymore.

> I was talking about third-party OS builders, which could anyway pay for licenses as they always did.

Or they could build their own OS's from scratch, as they always have also done, sure; but an important part of Google's strategy, though, was to make the core of Android open source, which they couldn't do if something as fundamental as the basic runtime required a paid license from a third party. And AOSP is -- empirically -- not useless to third party builders without the separately-licensed Google services.

> End users have no use for open source, besides free beer.

Just-for-me modifications are a real thing, if maybe not all that common, so I wouldn't say "no use".
Noooooo. Just pushed an update. Nice catch.
Actually millions were spent to make that not true. So this is definitely not supposed to happen.
I agree! I've been using passphrases for about 12 years, but in this form:

Ia! Ibupfa1y,bitf:

(It's the first letter of every word in that sentence.)

A sentance relevant to me that also refers to the site is easier for me to remember than random words. But perhaps I could make it longer... Use the kxcd idea too.

The entropy is huge unless/until everyone starts making 3 word passphrases the same way with very common words.

There can also be dictionary attacks on common passphrases, especially after a large site is compromised.

Lately I've been changing it up by offsetting my fingers on the keyboard.

Unfortunately each password/phrase input has different requirements and limits, and there's many different confusing help texts for explaining it. And it's frustrating to find out the limits after committing to memory and submitting.

When I was designing our office I had dreams of having giant wall-covering white boards everywhere. Of course, to save costs, we tried using the shower board material from Home Depot like this post is suggesting.

The ghosting ends up being a pretty big problem. We found some window cleaner (not windex) that does a pretty good job cleaning it, but the boards are getting more and more worn over time. Eventually I hope to replace them all...

I've ended up going a different route in my home office, and it's been quite successful.

Ikea sells these long and skinny white-colored glass. 63" x 19" for $32.00 USD.

http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/80160645/

I have two of these mounted on the wall forming a pretty good-sized white board. It's a little bit weird with the seam in the middle, but it matters less than you'd think. The glass ends up looking WAY better and classier than the shower board would, and you don't have to worry about ghosting ever.
I for one look forward to the avalanche of bad advice and trolling that will hit this board. Godspeed!

Somewhere around a billion people have been lifted out of poverty in the past 30 years or so. (Citing from memory, don't have a source handy, but it's about that number). It's amazing how good that is.

But they weren't in the US.

So why hasn't US poverty declined? The same reason it has declined other places: globalization.
Looks interesting, but I think if you trust non-open source encryption, you are basically a knave. Even with really smart people behind it, unless it's completely open, they could be compelled to put backdoors into it.
I would like to echo these comments. "Learn why Leo is so special" was especially misleading.

How about a 4-paragraph summary of what Leo actually is, because I poked around the website for several minutes and still have no idea... other than that it's written in Python, which is a plus for me. :-)

The "Learn about Leo in two hours" just links to the documentation, which is conspicuously missing a "What is Leo?" introduction and goes right into commands.

I'm very intrigued by what this project promises, but I'm intrigued by a lot of projects. If I can't get a good idea of what the software even does in 5 minutes, someone has failed. Maybe it's me, but I don't think so.

Still it seems to me that this would be an awesome site to use as a watering hole for ensnaring naive web users, i.e. the kind who won't even notice when they are massively infected.

In 1950, middle class was a small house, one car, probably not a dishwasher, only one television in the house (if that), no computers (duh), no cell phones (also duh), no designer jeans, no fancy sneakers, much less snack food, much less eating out. You could live exactly that life today (maybe even on one income), but people would think that you were in poverty, or close. (Note well: I am not claiming that official statistics would say that you are in poverty. But I think this thought exercise does show that the goalposts have moved over the last 60 years.)

Great idea. There's a lot of calendar apps out there, but the data feeds powering them are the same old crap. The concept of an agent doing stuff with the app feels like 60's-ish virtual assistant futurism.

I wonder how usable an "intelligent" autonomous agent putting things on a calendar would be. (That is, to extend the generation of a calendar feed with more clever bits.) Say there was a weather component that would only schedule sunsets when the weather would be conducive for photography.
In the README, some quick explaination for non-neuroscienctists would be helpful to understand the impact of this project.
Yeah, the overwhelming number of warrantied products was one of the reasons we backed off. If we had tried it, we had decided that focusing on home appliances would be a good start since those are higher value with longer, easier to forget warranty cycles. Another reason we felt it would be an attractive place to start is because home owners are more likely to give a shit about their warranties compared to a kid with a 1 year warranty on a pair of shoes.

Finding the right market fit for a service like this will be important. Because of the numbers involved you really need to find the 20% of warranties that cover 80% of your users' needs.
San Francisco for Londoners

You may be right. Certainly, "asking" has been a success factor for people using Gittip, which is fine. For myself, I like not overtly asking for money too much, because then the gifts I do receive feel that much more genuine. :-)

What if instead of normalizing asking (pull), we normalized generosity (push)?

> but the thing that I've found messes up Rails applications is large model objects ("god objects"),

How do you think god object models get created in the first place? By not extracting out logic. When you have models that have very different state, you actually have very different objects. Those differences should be extracted into different classes.

I think the underlying problem is the bottom end of the US labor market only has two ladders up and they pulled out from under them:

Manufacturing

Education to get a better job [I don't mean college. I mean something like a trade school to become a plumber or the like].

The kind of blue collar manufacturing jobs they could get is largely done in other countries and imported to the US. There simply aren't enough of these in the US to employ a larger percentage of the population.

Education has gotten too expensive and given these are likely people who could never graduate college...it is very high risk for them as well, even at a trade school.

I think we really need to get people to go from High School to a Trade School to a Job. Because otherwise, I don't see a way to really shrink the poverty level without raising the minimum wage which is politically unreliable [e.g. We might raise it for 2-3 years, but in 6-8 we will ignore it for a decade again]
My company launched a Facebook Bitcoin wallet two weeks ago and we've been seeing a lot of organic viral growth. We've had a few people in the Bitcoin community say that they're sure that it must be our app and the press related to such consumer friendly Bitcoin applications.

I agree. I was thinking that it could have evolved to reduce the risk of destructive change and revolution, or to entrench the privileges of the powerful. I didn't fully appreciate the point that, to the rich and powerful, there is no distinction between those aims.
(1) That's not made apparent in the sentence (why leave it for a footnote?), and (2) you haven't explained why that number is actually meaningful.

Edit: I don't know much about this stuff so please correct me if I'm wrong but wouldn't the cost of the "externalized price per transaction" be (price_to_mine-block_reward)/number_of_txs. price_to_mine and block_reward would approach each other over time.

Is Conway's Game of Life form of intelligence in the same sense that a plant can be "intelligent" for making seemingly optimal "decisions"?

Whatever the answer is, it's almost certainly a different kind of "intelligence" what we as humans seem to have. But, what if we apply this same "algorithmic intelligence" to a sophisticated enough neural network (or similar algorithmic construct) which simulates a human brain which is something we consider "truly intelligent", is this network intelligent, despite it being "merely" algorithmically intelligent like the Conway's Game of Life? And if not, what is "intelligent", if the output of the network (akin to human brain) shows intelligence?

The bottom line is, that we need to be very rigorous with what we mean by different forms of intelligence -- it seems to me that "intelligence" is merely an umbrella term for various kinds of optimal/meaningful behavior. (I've seen people argue that nature itself is "intelligent" because for example water finds the most optimal course over the shurface which it flows and so forth)

That's a good point. I've never compared the battery usage. But you don't have to make everything 3D (I think). I think you can use WebGL in a 2D context and the battery impact is probably less significant.

Mostly, I just want to avoid learning each mobile platform just to make one app. That's been turning me off from mobile development for years. I'd rather use something like Cordova with webgl and hit all mobile platforms in one shot.
The notion of "ownership" of public records is a bit tenuous to begin with. You can own the paper (except they obviously don't, and you can make a copy on your own paper), or you can own a copyright on particular documents (except that US government documents, including municipalities, are public domain).

Really they're asserting some quasi-classification right to prevent a record's release because they "deputized" the author, but it's pretty unclear under what actual statutory authority they're operating.
Could you explain a little more clearly the "externalized" cost? I.e. who actually incurs the cost of the block reward?

I understand the equation of ([transaction fees] + [block reward])*[exchange rate] / [#transactions in block].
