Sounds like a killer deal for someone working remotely. Live in a great urban neighborhood without the insane cost, rent your own office downtown so you have a physically distinguished working space, and enjoy life.

I'd seriously consider doing it if I were more confident in the stability and longevity of remote work.
A WAF is like insurance, most of the time you wont need it, but its good to have when the s*it hits the fan.

While you can rely on your app to have its own security, it never hurts to have extra (unless latency is a concern).

I'd start with an open source version and move up to a commercial product if its necessary.
It doesn't matter that the effect is tradable. What matters is that there is no possible arbitrage i.e. a way to make money with a 100% probability. For example, would you enter a bet in which you have a 50% chance of loosing $1000 and a 50% chance of making $1001 if you can enter it only once a year?

There are many many observable patterns that contradict the efficient market hypothesis amongst which:

- historical option volatility is lower than implied vol - you can make money by writing options.

- sell in may and go away strategy - you can make money (and beat the index) by being long the SP500 only between october-may

- strong contango in the VIX futures market - you can make money by shorting a volatility ETN like VXX that rolls near-maturation future contracts.

- mean-reversion on the second day after an earnings release - you can make money by going short if the stock price rises after the earnings call or vice-versa

In the end, what matters is how much risk (volatility, max drawdown...) you're willing to take for superior returns. That is often summarized by the information ratio of your strategy which is equal to (return of your strat - return of the bechmark)/vol(difference in returns).
It's been down for me since yesterday afternoon.
refs are not the highest performance reference type due to transactional semantics. ClojureScript already has efficient mutability in the form of atoms and transients. You can actually build a transient vector faster than you can build a mutable JavaScript array in recent builds of V8. I actually demo'ed this at JSConf. Fun stuff.
"Almost no air-to-air combat starts out within visual range..."

Until the politicians require visual confirmation of the target. Which is exactly what happened in Vietnam under LBJ. At which point Sparrows were dead weight with a lot of drag.
This has the potential of bringing Amazon into an industry they helped create, but were never a major contender in.

I'm talking about the space DigitalOcean and Linode now occupy. Hobbyists who need a quick, multipurpose machine might actually consider Amazon now.

Either that, or a new "hosting" company will slap a simpler UI on top of EC2 and reap the benefits.
Ask HN: 15 months after Google Reader shut down, what's the state of RSS?
Today was the first day in a long time that I went to (what I would consider) a large news/blog site and they offered no RSS feed (a soccer site). I use FeedDemon for Windows but am lost on my Mac (not a Mac native) when it comes to what to use.

Is RSS dead/dying/thriving?
Sure, but that's not the issue. That problem can be solved in a hackish fashion for a LOT less than $200mm and perhaps even in an elegant fashion for less.

If every Predator gets a 100W wideband transmitter and SOME of them get instead of weapons the equipment necessary to process the reflections and do the calcs then the others can get that target information and blammo.

If there are 100 Predators for every F35 in the combat zone and they ALL turn on their transmitters simultaneously at some kind of interval you're never going to know which one is carrying weapons and which one is command and control. So you can't do prioritized targeting and thus you're shooting blind. Yeah you can shoot down some of them but once you're out of missiles that's it.

Do we have to worry about 3rd world countries being able to muster this kind of response? No. But there are plenty of industrialized countries that could, and they could bleed us dry one $200mm plane at a time.
they got the buckets, they got the source, they are anonymous.... release the code!

Yes it is from the context that I inferred what you're talking about. I didn't mention it to pick, but because the DNS is littered with misunderstandings and I think that's part of what holds it back.
I remember playing home-brew D&D games in the late seventies. MP were manna points.

Whether it mana from polynesia or manna from Exodus is was ambiguous for broadly but spottily educated seventeen year olds.

But yes, I am sure that any rigid tracing of the term in role playing to 2 or 5 sources is going to fail.
`cljsbuild auto` keeps the jvm hot and rebuilds any time the source changes.

You could also use something like Nailgun too, if that is more desirable.

When I develop in ClojureScript, I generally avoid rebuilding altogether whenever possible (auto or otherwise) and instead have my editor send changes to the browser REPL. I don't know if you can do this with node too, but it would seem odd if not. This seems to be the preferred approach by most Clojure devs.
I loved the one that somehow looked like BF* but was actually JS ;)

Confusion could arise when doing python in ruby or having some subtle distinction between c and c++, but I guess the test is not made to trick people or diagnose actual language knowledge.
Still, lots of fun!
No, you are still free to organize your application state however you wish. For example, our app dynamically pulls in content as you browse from feed to feed and use infinite scroll. It's up to you to decide what to fetch when, and what to cache/discard as the user navigates around.

The point is there are no simple hard and fast rules. If you made 500k last year and do a start-up that only pays you 200k your taking a bigger pay cut than a 20 something that's paying themselves nothing. Some people have alimony payments that hit 100k.

Don't forget it's not just the clueless, neurosurgeons and CEO's also do start-ups.
That also is just speculation, although possible.
I'm pretty the parent has the correct use here.

I suspect that you'll want to hide STDOUT, if not STDERR. If you're ever dual-homed you might also want to consider adding an explicit "-4", or "-6" in there.

"Attempts to tie CEO interests to owner interests by tying compensation to the company's performance have thus far failed, mostly because a) the fraction of compensation isn't sufficient to overcome the CEOs self-serving motivation or b) the specific tying system can be gamed to the CEO's advantage."

Oh, found it. It is labeled "Blog". And skip down to paragraph four.
Somewhat off topic... Your blog looks great, but that's a questionable choice of header font on the service page, especially when used as all caps :)
I think most weapons are huge failure, at least for their openly stated goals.

This design [0] from Burt Rutan [1] is beautiful in its simplicity. While it doesn't have the mission of objectives as the F35, I'd rather have 300 Mudfighters than a single F35.

A whole bunch of missiles actually do, like the Sparrow and Standard.

The longer range ones really can use it to increase hit probability. Or so I've read is true for the Phoenix and AIM-120 missiles, classed as "fire and forget". and the newest Standard missile uses a AIM-120 derived head with a bigger antenna. And I'm sure still depends on mid-course corrections (for that matter, I've read the current models self-destruct if they doesn't get guidance fairly soon after launch).

I am in California. The cost of housing here is galling. But I am here for my health and the cost of housing here is less galling than what my health problems are supposed to cost. Living here helps me stay off medication and out of the ER and out of surgery.

I wish I could go move someplace cheap. Honest, I do. But, for me, staying healthy is the cheap choice.

Those kinds of quality of life issues are sometimes very, very hard to adequately quantify. These articles often do a poor job of addressing that. Price of housing is not the be all and end all of one's life.

The book "Boyd: The Fighter Pilot Who Changed the Art of War" goes into how the F-16 happened. Sprey worked with Boyd on it and is one of the evangelists of the management/development philosophy that Boyd pushed. In a nutshell, normal development pushed for stacking on as many features as you could to please everyone involved. Boyd pushed for making the plane fit a specific performance envelope for the role and making everything else secondary.

I guess this makes Boyd and Sprey co-designers in that they shaped the requirements and specifications.

Mike @ RethinkDB here. We're co-hosting a RethinkDB + Firebase meetup on July 1st in San Francisco on building realtime apps. We'll be doing more in-depth demos of the new 1.13 features, and showing how you can use them to build realtime apps faster.

RSVP to the meetup here: http://www.meetup.com/RethinkDB-Bay-Area-Meetup-Group/events...

We'd love to see you come hang out with the RethinkDB and Firebase teams. Even better, give a lightning talk on how you're using RethinkDB! Christina is finalizing the schedule, if you'd like to do a lightning talk shoot her an email (christina@rethinkdb.com).
It's a game, or at least, it's playful.
Thanks for the feedback. I just threw something up in a few minutes. I'll try to get something better looking up tonight with the caveat that I'm not a designer. Maybe I can get some of my co-workers to design an awesome looking splash page for me.
We're still figuring out exactly where the boundary lies, but our current approach is much like yours -- view state that's purely local to a component goes in local state, and everything else goes in app state. This feels more natural, but means you lose some of the nice benefits of things like replay/undo for this local state.

For client/server, we've started building up some nice abstractions around our API (like fetching more data in a generic paginated list stored in a cursor), but the write side is still mostly manual. We're trying to use the same API for iOS and web, which probably prevents us from doing some fancier things that continue the same architecture back into the server.
On top of that, there are baseband firmware which runs a realtime OS, which is completely closed source.

This is good to hear. I usually provide some context, like if you have experience with a certain framework or in a specific niche perhaps - whatever caught my eye. Sounds like that info is useful in cases where it was a false positive. Thanks for the insight, and glad it validates my thought process.

Firebase has very good implementation on Simple Login for authentication. Check out AngularFire project. But I have to agree with some of the comments, backend authentication should be recommended. I can't get away from being nervous about password as text or session hijacking, etc.. with frontend authentication.

I wanted to have a look if any of my friends had this and apparently it can't be installed in the UK. Out of interest has anybody got this outside the US yet?
...because it has the word "rule" in it? That's about the only similarity between those two concepts.
Those drones are still flown by human pilots, remotely. I wonder what the maneuverability limit is with remote piloting. At some point the drone would be able to turn so fast that the human couldn't process the rapidly changing visuals. Maybe the drone pilots will need to be given a simulated "third person view" like a video game in order to keep up.
That protects mega (the server); it does nothing to protect the client.

I love your site design!
You know, I was just called by a recruiter from a great company about a great job. I talked to him for a bit, the job sounded great, the commute sounded great, etc. I asked him if I needed to do anything and he said "no, I'll put you against the job req internally, you don't even have to go on-line".

"When should I hear anything?"

"I have a meeting with the hiring manager in 2 days, I'll call you back right after."

A week passes. I call him back, it's 2pm on Tuesday.

<clearly waking up> "oh yes. Well this job is about..." <repeats the original pitch>

"okay, so I know this, and last time we talked you said you had a meeting with the hiring manager and would get back to me, a week ago."

"so...I'm not at my computer, but I have some feedback on my computer, I'll call you back this afternoon?"

"Well was it good or bad feedback?"

"I...I...have it on my computer. Can I call you back this afternoon?"

"Sure"

No call, nothing. It's 3 days later now. At this point I've hit so many red flags I'm not even interested in checking them out anymore. But it is a great company. One of those Top-20 best places to work kind of places. I called a friend of mine who works there and they checked with the hiring manager, but got a non-reply. I'm apparently being put against the position, so that much is true.

It's not the first time I've dealt with this kind of shenanigans. My favorite is the "why do you want to work here?" question which pops up somewhere in the process. And I respond with "I don't you asked me to come, why do you want me to work here?"

Recruiters really are a waste of time and if I had spent more than 20 minutes on the phone with this guy I would feel kind of burned right now. But instead I've just added it to the pile of bizarre recruiter interactions I've had over the years.

On the flip-side, a company my wife used to work for had great success with a professional retained recruiting agency. It took a few months to finally nail down what they were looking for in a candidate, but before long they had a steady stream of qualified resumes coming in. So there's that.
I find is extremely difficult to determine which large companies are self-dealing, since executive and board compensation is not split out in most financial statements. (I can't help but think that this is by design.) So, broadly, I assume all of them are engaged in it unless proven otherwise, which no companies I'm aware of bother to do.

Also a missile's range and effectiveness depend upon both aircrafts' altitudes and velocities. Even if the predator could fire an AMRAAM, I don't think it would stand much of a chance of winning an engagement against a fighter that can fly twice as high and ten times as fast.

I think Wordpress is still going to stay in the game. It still has a road ahead of it. I do think that the big newsrooms are going to expand past it's limiting multiple-people collaboration features into a new CMS, but most blogs will want to use WP.
Why didn't anyone build this before?
The F-111 was actually good for Australia, though the purchase was sort of a 'mistake' at the time - it's extremely long range suited our northern defence, where the airstrips are few and far between. One defence person said in an aside to me 'The F-111 has enough range to get from Darwin to Jakarta and back without refueling'...
Yep, that sounds about right. For us, API communication and some global events flow through channels into the app state, where it's distributed to components. For routing we've built up a library around secretary, where we write down a map of uris, handlers, and metadata (can be a modal, etc). Info about the current page and such goes into the app state and that drives the transitions between page components.

> Isn't the whole idea of manned fighter jets antiquated?

Probably not for quite awhile. Issues of lethality aside, the electronics aren't there yet. In Afghanistan, there were long waits to get downlink bandwidth to get video back from UAV's. We're nowhere near the point where we can maintain effective communications with a squadron of drones big enough to do real damage, and the "automated killer drone AI" isn't close yet either.

Yes, the Air Force needs to anticipate the future, but I think the future is a bit further away than you think. If they're planning on using these until 2065, they might start designing drone replacements in say 2045. That's only 30 years away, and probably not a bad ballpark estimate for how long it'll take to get this technology to the point where you can start really relying on it for offensive capability. It sounds like a long time from now, but the F-22 RFP process was started just about thirty years ago.

Yeah I really don't understand the parent making that comment either. As if it's so much work to have some safety gear on.

I realize it is popular to hate CEOs nowadays, but the article sure seems to be stretching with its conclusions. It seems much simpler and more likely to simply conclude that companies pay CEOs more than usual and give them large non-cash incentives when the company is doing badly and they are trying to buy their way out of a problem. That explains the increased mergers as well.

Easy.

A "cult" is a disparaging term for a religion that someone other than yourself belongs to. YOUR belief group on the other hand is obviously not a cult, but a religion.

(Actually I guess it might be size, but in common vernacular I think the above is actually often the case).
So many great points and takeaways, but I think the following is key:

"What matters is not so much the distance between the cost to produce something and the price to sell it. Focus on, the difference between the price and the perceived value to the end user. The perceived value has to be greater than the price! Don't build a business around cost + margin, build businesses around perceived value."

Focus on the incentive to buy, not the incentive to sell for your business.
EBS is still pretty poor for IOPS, even using SSDs. (It's network attached storage, after all). RDS also uses EBS instead of native DB replication, so expect a huge slowdown from native.

If you wanted real IO speed, run two postgres instances (in ec2) - in sync replication - using local SSD storage. I'd guess order(s) of magnitude more iops.
The target is usually acquired and tracked on radar first. Getting visual ID before firing the missile is a different story. In Iraq '91 they required IFF transponder status to confirm a target as hostile which isn't always reliable.

By 2003, the USAF made extensive use of E-3 AWACS and fighters required clearance from Joint Air Operations Center before engaging a target. The E-3 would vector the fighters for an intercept so it wouldn't start visually.

I believe that you have a misunderstanding regarding 'what is happening here'.

This isn't 'client side authorisation' in the sense you are talking of.

Specifically it still relies on a /session route which only accepts valid authorization objects which can be though of as keys in a more 'traditional' 'server side authentication' approach.
> Your last statement is false. Texas has many large 'liberal' metropolitan cities.

I agree with this. I've lived in Dallas for 10 years and I've seen a lot of change since I moved here in 2004. The later waves of Asian immigration and other folks fleeing the freezing Northeast winters is starting to make Texas a bit more blue these days.

On the flip side, housing is no longer cheap in many areas. If I were to buy a new home the same size as my current, 6 year old home, I would likely have to spend twice as much as I spent in 2008.
I speculate that drones have limited capacity because drones are purposefully made small. Why? Because smaller means harder to see and shoot down- useful for a drone. They are more disposable than a pilot, but that doesn't mean they are cheap.
