Thank you. I have long been trying to pin down the description of, and term for, that principle. http://t.bigboxcar.com/post/87256202522/bullshit-asymmetry-p...

There's still a corollary in need of succinct definition/labeling: in context of a casual discussion, you make a fair point in a one liner with no citation, then someone criticizes it (in effect) for lacking peer-reviewed encyclopedic depth & thoroughness. (Ex.: "this car does 0 to 60MPH in 10 seconds" "uh, NO, you're not taking relativity into account! and you didn't cite any certified testing labs!" and from social context you feel compelled to elaborate on why your comment was sufficient, while the other loudly labels you a liar, ignores your objections, and marches off to disrupt other sane conversations.)
Instacart is a lesson of how to do it right. Here's a lesson of how to do it wrong:

A partner and I started a grocery delivery business at about the same time as Instacart must have been formulating their plans, based on most of the same principles (same-day delivery using multiple local stores as inventory). Within months we had the inventory pictures (including cheaper stealth access to Trader Joes and the like), the pricing, the app and web code, the analysis of east-coast success stories, the shopper tools, the the payment model that would scale even among non-wealthy communities and provide good paying jobs and cheaper groceries to the customer (whereas instacart went with higher prices).

What we DID NOT have was the experience of delivering even a single item to a single paying customer, because we weren't going to ship until we had all our ducks in a perfect little row. And so we never shipped. D'oh!

You exhibit a disturbing lack of empathy.
This takes us down a very slippery slope. Linking, is not illegal and I think we can all agree that the web would be ruined if simply adding a link to a site you own or control were made illegal.

So that raises the question: How do you determine what's a good link or a bad link? Pretty soon you'd have people arrested for linking to somebody's site from a news article or to/from sites like ripoffreport.
Offering free 'flexible' SSL is really good for the internet but using SNI SSL certs for multiple businesses the way Cloudflare does has somewhat of a security risk. Cloudflare shares certs for multiple domains at a time. One of my domains was shared with 10 other sites when I check on https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/. If one domain gets their SSL cert compromised (by whatever means), it's safe to assume the other 10 will be as well.

This is a (mostly minor) security risk worth considering these days when not only are CAs semi-centralized but so are the certificates.
Big Congrats to you and the rest of the team!

Understood. My comment is that "European Approach" is a poor shorthand for what you mean. In the UK, for example, alcohol seems much more like a 'moral suspension drug', as the innumerable accounts of drunken Christmas parties from the UK, or stories like http://metro.co.uk/2010/11/01/aebooze-asbosae-for-drunken-yo... ("We remain concerned about the number of alcohol-related incidents and the drink-fuelled violence and disorder that blight many of our towns and cities") seem to attest.

You mention Germany, but as http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcohol_laws_in_Germany points out, "The German laws regulating alcohol use and sale are some of the least restrictive ones in the world." I don't think it's appropriate to use an extreme as if it is representative of the average.

Doing non-blocking is tricky, and I'm not convinced that Python's solution are where I'd like them to be on this topic. Also keep in mind that a number of open TCP connections is also a finite number, so you can't really scale well with websockets that way, IMO. But again, it depends on your use case.

For 3. you have to look at the difinition of an experienced and a novice developer they used in this study. I think maybe for google the definition fits but not in its general use.
Earlier, Google already agreed to remove their website, as defined by some 350 urls. But the defendant started auto generating new urls, which had to go back to the judge (I think) to be blocked. Google was fine with blocking specific urls worldwide by court order.

Now, the ruling requires google to block them, even if they change the url. That's the new upgrade that required the ruling.
I wouldn't say it failed -- we never got Internet-scale customerbase, but honestly the goal was "do awesome security stuff" more so than "become Facebook".

I'm actually writing the post for Saturday; CloudFlare has a bunch of stuff going on this week so I've been pretty busy on top of getting some odds and ends resolved for this announcement.
Or even whether the site they're punishing is the real target of the SEO at all. For example, there are a bunch of spammy "software index" sites that are basically just lists of free software applications trying to rank highly for people searching for that kind of software. It appears that Google has been penalizing the official websites of some of the software listed on those sites for being linked from lots of spammy sites.
For some reason, liberals like to be offended on behalf of other groups.
Oh, I agree. Just pointing out that mass surveillance may well be both helpful to national security and very damaging to human rights.

For what it's worth, I suspect it's unduly balanced towards authoritarianism as well.

SDN: changing the game for network engineers
I have found that peoples' opinions are most strongly influenced by the narratives they subconsciously construct to make sense of the world. A given fact will be seen as part of a huge trend by one person, an outlier by another, and a lie by someone else. This explains why there are some facts that are just ignored by people even though they're a big deal. For example, Ronald Reagan supported Apartheid in South Africa. People don't know how to fit this into a larger framework or pattern so it doesn't become part of the social construction of this person.

I think this explains why the NSA revelations are such a non-issue to so many people: it doesn't fit into their narrative, so it must somehow be overstated or misleading in its presentation. I think a solution to this is to try to notice your aversion or second-guessing of straightforward information. If you immediately start seeking to minimize something or think "This must be wrong", then that thing is worth deeper investigation. One must realize if a piece of information does not fit with their model of the world, it is usually an inadequacy of their model and not with the data.

> That's how the hit of LSD or psilocybin (mushrooms) might help, but you need to know what and how you're doing it.

I figured out your LSD therapy was a form of self-help, but as someone who is under constant, long-term care of a psychiatrist, I have been told more than once that in the case of depression drugs and habitual alcohol intake are a no-go. LSD is especially dangerous. Please don't advise suicidal and mentally ill people to solve their problems with drugs.

And finally, depressed people don't need advice, they need patience, understanding and someone who is able to listen to them.

I have lots but if you can't see what's wrong with what you've said, well, I don't have that kind of time.

You should seriously reconsider your relationship with mental health issues, and ask yourself if it's appropriate to joke around about 'final release notes' with someone who is suicidal.

I'm not going to bother to reply more.

> The only thing search engines can do to stop SEO spam is to avoid giving any weight to spammy links.

That didn't work before. Zero weight for spammy links is gamed by spammers by spamming everything at full blast. There was no downside for them. There are better dials and switches than falling back to a known broken model.

With penalties in place spammers need to get those existing bad links removed for their own sites / or build from scratch new sites with clean link profiles (which they are doing anyway, slash and burn). Now they will need to multiply their efforts to negatively target sites above them (not just rank one site, but unrank several sites). Good luck doing that without leaving a detectable fingerprint/trace.

The history of when links are created - that will leave a clear beacon that a site has been targeted. Unless a spammer does it very slowly over the course of years. In which case, LOL.

Don't you think it would be noticeable that a site ranking well, with a clean back link profile suddenly starts attracting heaps and heaps of bad spammy links? That's a clear indication something is going on.

The better time to use negative SEO is when the spammer has already gotten ahead of his competitor. Then the influx of bad links might look like an effort to regain rankings. That would be more interesting.

Actually yes on all of those points. CloudFlare has a pretty amazing general counsel, Ken Carter, who in addition to being a great lawyer was in a colo racking and stacking servers. He also is the point person for Project Galileo, where CloudFlare offers free service to important free speech organizations. It's also very well resourced financially.

CloudFlare has some pretty amazing infrastructure, which they've blogged about -- great peering, lots of POPs, etc.

I was working on "how to do VPNs securely post-Snowden and post-Lavabit" after shutting down the consumer VPN service, which is both a technical and legal problem; we can definitely do it at CloudFlare.

I think the extra 180 pixels of vertical resolution is what he's worried about. I am too, that little bit helps a lot, even with the dock hidden and off to the side of the screen.
That's a different rationale, though. This trademark is being thrown out specifically because it is considered defamatory.
This is a bit ridiculous.
Dogs require taking care of. For someone who is clinically depressed and has huge problems with properly taking care of themselves, taking care of someone else might be extremely exhausting. It can also lead to blaming oneself for not treating the dog properly, regardless of how it's treated. Trust me, I've seen this in people with clinical depression.
Your parallax effect is nice!
LinkedIn is very useful to me, but the way I use it doesn't get LI much revenue. I use it only as a "check up on people" service (to check up on others and make it easy to check up on me).

So instead of having a resume I can just suggest someone look at my linked in page. This is more for FOAFs (e.g. someone would like me to work with them; their colleagues can check out my LI page before they meet me to have some idea of who I am). I can see, to some degree, who has looked me up.

I use it the same way in reverse: when I want to check someone out I can look them up on LI and see whom we know in common, then just write to that person directly.

Unfortunately I can't send all LI mail straight to spam since some people who have lost my address use LI mail to get in touch. So I use some mail sieve rules to bin the obvious junk.

When it started it was a great way to catch up with old work colleagues. Now I link to people I've met, not just close colleagues, but I know which is which. In the case of professional contacts, The Strength of Weak Ties[0] really applies.

Whatever the situation is, one one should decide to suicide rather he/she should find new thing in life to live.
I've seen some people in this situation finding purpose in life by helping others.

A very close friend of mine battled with depression for years. After watching Earthlings and realizing how horrible it is to be an animal in this day and age, she made it her mission to do whatever she could to help them. Today she is a very active member of a project that's been estimated to save tens of thousands of animals per year (mostly by educating people about the consequences of their actions).

She tells me that knowing she's making a difference is what keeps her going and offing herself is not an option anymore, because it would be like abandoning those terrified animals inside slaughterhouses. And I noticed that her self-esteem has improved and that she spends more time improving herself, so she can be more effective in her mission.
I see you've removed all agency from the 'other groups'. Kudos.
Welp, pack it up guys, two people don't think the trademark is offensive.
(dead man's switch: Discussing perf with you on hackernews is going to be a waste of time, I'll personally pay you $10K USD [or EFF, if you refuse] if I respond).

An "occasionally misses" expectations is by no means career ending. It's just a warning sign. It's not by itself a fireable offense (as an aside, even being fired by Google won't ruin your career, a friend of mine with a bad manager at Google got fired. He ended up pre-IPO at Twitter, and he is definitely doing well). I had an occasionally misses as L4. For me, I took it as implicit permission to get more attention from my manager. I'd bring problems to him sooner and make sure to be less stuck, including burdening him with more mundane problems I was having, and giving him more status to make sure I was moving in the right direction. I quickly hit meets, and I eventually hit L5.

Even though it does not seem like it now the pain of your breakup will fade. Though you haven't gone into details try not to blame anyone for what happened. These words must sound hollow to you but give yourself the time and space to mourn the loss of what you had.

This "logical" way of thinking you speak about is interesting but have you considered that besides this cognitive machinery you have many other sorts of biological and neurological machinery in your brain/body. It's an interesting process trying to uncover what they are. Also, something to think about might be -- if you focus on the logical part of how you interact with the world you may neglect to appreciate other ways in which you are in the world.

And I hate to say this but in a sense suicide may be a very rational act for someone who is a lot of pain but when you think about it we rarely ever tell people who are close to us that we feel suicidal. Why is this? And then there's the negative traumatic impact of finding what is left of you and dealing with the sudden trauma of you not being there, especially for a parent. Are you sure your pain is greater than that? I completely understand if suicide seems like the only viable option right now but speaking as someone who has been there I can only say give yourself some time and space and don't do anything rash.
I was in Raleigh too. It seemed like a much smaller town than half a million people and maybe that's why I liked it. My wife and I were only there for a weekend so we didn't do much exploring. The downtown area just seemed clean and safe compared to other places. I'm not really the kind of person that looks for things to do in town so I'm probably not the best to ask. It seems like they had some decent outdoor activities and they are only a few hour from the beach which is something I enjoy. It kind of reminded me of a bigger version of my hometown (Wheeling, WV) with much nicer weather.

That would be a first.

I don't usually find myself 'on the side of google' in any argument and I highly doubt that so many googlers would be unable to think for themselves but would blindly upvote anything supportive of their employer.

Scolding pro blackhat SEO guys is an effort in futility. And the fact he confirmed using the technique also means that its no longer as effective

"I'll get your rank up for XYZ keywords for $70k a month but don't ask any questions on how".

With that kind of income to work ratio moral obligations are easy to ignore
No they don't. This challenge wasn't based on someone else having rights to the name, and nobody gets the "Redskins" trademark now that the team has lost it. No property (physical, intellectual, electronic, etc.) has changed hands, and this decision doesn't set precedent for that to happen in the future.

If the Apache group of tribes claimed that the word "Apache" was offensive, and managed to convince the USPTO that that was the case, maybe they could get the trademark rescinded, but that wouldn't mean they would get it for themselves, nor would it even mean the ASF would have to stop using the name, much less give up their website, only that they would no longer be able to sue other people for using it as well.
If they want to be offended maybe they should look at the crappy government health care (search: don't get sick after june), or the federal prosecutor who won't prosecute non-indians who steal on the reservation (even if the rez has video), look at the high unemployment rate after shutting down the defense contractor, or maybe take crimes against children with some seriousness. Being offended by names is way the heck down on the list.

Oh, excuse me, all of those are failures of government and we cannot acknowledge that.

I don't remember hearing that redistribution wasn't allowed, I'll admit I haven't read the license carefully, but what I understood was the original license forbade modifications through the advertising clause (making it incompatible with open-source licenses):

If you take and modify the source, you must remove all references to the "TrueCrypt" name inside of the source code and program interface and not call it TrueCrypt. If you redistribute it unmodified, you must leave the "TrueCrypt" name intact. I don't have a source for the second term, but it would seem to be impossible to have an unmodified work that didn't call itself TrueCrypt -- by removing TrueCrypt branding, you fulfilled the terms of the first part, even if the functionality of the software was actually unchanged.
