Yeah I kinda thought that after I wrote my reply. I'm sure you're quite familiar enough with the sociocultural aspects of religion at this point.
People interested in this article could also take a look at `coisas`, a tool I'm using for publishing my personal website using GitHub pages:

https://github.com/fiatjaf/fiatjaf.github.io

It is tangled with the website files, because it runs on pure Javascript, at the browser. And, yes, it only works on GitHub pages because when you click "Publish" it renders the content and commits to GitHub. Later I will make it more presentable, but for now it is working.

The goal is to make a tool that can publish any kind of data you want in almost any kind of format you want. It works with hierarchical documents (which are used for the paths of the URLs) with `kinds` (a markdown article, a table of data, a chart, a list of children documents -- for a list of blog posts, for example). To customize you just have to modify/add templates.

All the working code resides at `/edit` while the published pages themselves reside on the top directory. To create/update/delete documents just go to `/edit`:

NSA developed it and open-sourced it (much like their development of the crypto hash used for git), but Red Hat and the Linux kernel devs have pushed it the most since.
If you look at a map of population density, the North East, as a region, has the highest density. (LA is probably similar, but it's a much smaller area.)

You can look at this two ways: one is pure physics... particles in a high pressure zone tend to move towards a low pressure zone. In human terms, people can be moving from more-crowded to less-crowded. That may not be the only reason, but the density gradient is high enough that this could be a significant factor that clouds other factors.

The other way to look at it is that there are simply more people in the North East who are moving at any given time, and it's likely that there are more people moving out of the region at any time than there are people moving out of less dense regions. That can make it look like a significant flight from the NE, when really it's a random bias effect of the relative densities.
You said that you are learning about religion.

People thought you were learning about religion.

Those people would have understood your point if you had said that you are learning about atheism.
I'm a Python programmer but I have some familiarity with Java, but I haven't really touched Java in over five years, so I've been refreshing my mind with the recent Java 8 docs and it's been a pretty fun experience so far.
There's lessons here for everyone! If you are a SaaS provider, please keep offsite backups and protect them sufficiently. Don't allow a common control panel to manage your production data AND your backup data. In my backup strategy I use a combination of onsite and offsite backups. The onsite is really just a convenience thing where you can easily access your data quickly. The offsite backups are there in case anything happens at the production location, either to your live data or to the live data and the backups.

The lesson for customers is to never trust anyone when it comes to backups. Don't assume that a provider's claim about their "rock solid" or "proven" backups means anything. Pretend they don't have a backup.
This is a brilliant idea - I just have this feeling something terrible is going to happen as a result of the scaling process. Something about posting event details to a public place...
There is no reason people shouldn't be using multi-factor auth with their AWS master account. Please do so!

That's a clever reference. :)
You have switched the perspective to the user now. That's fine with me but the original complaint was by the website owners.

If google no longer finds solutions on blogs that's a problem but that shifts the debate from the one that we originally had, which is that some blogs no longer receive the traffic they did in the past. If that means other blogs with relevant content receive that traffic instead then from the users perspective there is no change.

If the other blogs are less relevant then that is a problem, both for the users and for google.
Have a look at GatherContent.com as well :)

Housing is more expensive in SF and NY, but most consumer goods/services are more expensive here due to the high VAT. High taxes bring other benefits, but it's always tough to part with your hard-earned quatloos.

A cup of coffee will be $4-5, a beer out is somewhere around $9-10, a T-shirt might cost you $30-40. A nice flat in Stockholm will cost you $1500-2000/mo. Of course, you can always find cheaper/pricier alternatives, but these are pretty normal prices.
Thanks, but I'm way less hopeful now. When I utter the "atheist" word it seems I am actually handing people an exclusive ticket to explain to me why I'm wrong. Explaining non-belief is harder than explaining belief.

I'm less hopeful because it seems that the general population is much stupider than I had anticipated.
Given what you say, airports seem like a perfect use case for busses driven by overhead wires. Now that I think about it, I'm kind of surprised it hasn't already been done.

To further this point 30k/nyc pop is about equal to 10k / Chicago pop, making them about equal per-capita. And yet Chicago looks like a much smaller migration.
> So much for that I guess, if it is spinning and online it is not a backup.

True, although with S3, you can make backups very difficult to remove:

http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/UsingMFADelet...

"If a bucket's versioning configuration is MFA Delete enabled, the bucket owner must include the x-amz-mfa request header in requests to permanently delete an object version or change the versioning state of the bucket. The header's value is the concatenation of your authentication device's serial number, a space, and the authentication code displayed on it. If you do not include this request header, the request fails."

Judging from the numbers, it looks decently typical for a Scandinavian city at its latitude.

So does it mean most alien invasion movies are wrong when they try to suck water out the ocean for energy? Like in Oblivion? What they could have done is to stay inside the Earth forever (like in War of the Worlds at least) and extract water from there instead.
> the people using LaTeX (in many cases academics, not script kiddies) should know better.

Dunno about that, I've worked with both commercial research code (which has developed a second life as a mission critical commercial project) and academic research code. It's almost all absolutely dreadful for generally good reasons.

I'm writing up my PhD at the moment. I was going to finish it in markdown and then move it over to msword with pandoc. A couple of days of messing around with xrefs and such like and I'm very happy to see that it's in LaTeX now, and that LaTex much to my surprise is still the best environment in which to prepare a thesis.
Thanks for the cache just getting to this.

Edited because someone didn't like my original tone. Was a bit rushed to be honest.

Few things seem off about this:

- Offsite backups were also deleted, I don't think they had offsite backups, or at least backups you could legitimately say were "off site."

- EC2 has two factor auth, why you wouldn't use this for your business I don't know. [1]

- Corresponding with extortionist is a really dumb move. It would be better time spent locking things down - contacting amazon directly to get an account lock / getting your ducks in a row.

I wonder how much of this applies to Darwin systems.
Incidentally, despite being somewhat sympathetic to the viewpoint, I felt The God Delusion paled in comparison to Dawkins' other works. He's far more compelling in the mode of "Isn't all this stuff amazing?" than the mode of "Isn't that stuff awful?"
I feel like this could be due to how they define 'New York Metro'. I see a lot of people (myself included) moving out of New York City proper and moving to much much cheaper areas like New Jersey, Long Island, Westchester County, etc. This is especially true for recent college grads who simply cannot afford to live comfortably in the city while working at an "entry level" job. I feel like many of us in the tech sector forget this since we,overall, have a decent starting salary in our field, and the "First job out of college" is frequently not the first job in the industry. In other industries the your first job will pay not too much over minimum wage, especially if the field isn't competitive.

So while the data may show people leaving New York, it may not tell the whole picture. My own experience shows otherwise, though I am aware that anecdotes are not data. People may be moving out of New York City, but they aren't leaving New York City.

> Africa is a place, and the countries there are more similar to each other than to other countries

In what sense (other than "being located in Africa") are North African countries like Egypt or Algeria more like, say, any countries in central or southern Africa than they are like countries in the Middle East?
There are a few things in the chart that just seem... odd. For example, it says that Boston is losing people (EXCEPT for less than high school graduates) to almost the same degree as Detroit is. That just doesn't seem right to me whether it's the Biotech buildings going up all over Cambridge or the real estate prices which I think I can safely assume are a lot higher than Detroit's. (Not picking on Detroit but for those who may not be as familiar with US cities, it's pretty much the poster child for urban decay right now.)
DevOps here.

There are some things you aren't going to expect (compromise of your AWS console). This could have been solved by having MFA enabled, as well as having the app push backups in realtime, versioned with delete protection, to S3 buckets under the control of another account (write access, but no delete access).

Show of hands how many people here are doing it this way.
Code Spaces forced to close its doors after security incident
In a project I'm working on [1], I'm planning to provide a browser extension that verifies the source code is digitally signed and that it matches the source code published on GitHub. I believe this creates a pretty good security model for a web-based app, even more so than most desktop programs.

Some more information from the security page [2]:

The browser extension provides improved security by verifying the integrity of the files served by the server. The verification is done using two factors:

- Cold storage signature verification: In addition to SSL, static files (html/css/javascript) are signed using standard Bitcoin message signatures, with a private key that is stored offline and encrypted. This ensures that the content served from the webserver was not tampered with by a third party.

- Comparing against the code on GitHub repository: The source code from the GitHub repository is built on Travis-CI and the resulting hashes are published publicly on Travis's job page. The extension ensures that the content served by the webserver matches the open-source repository on GitHub.

If an attacker gains control over the web server, he still only has access to information the web server already knows (which is very little). To get sensitive information, he would have to modify the client-side code to send back more data to the server.

For an attacker to successfully mount such an attack against someone with the browser extension, he would have to:

- Gain access to the web server.

- Gain access to the personal computer of a developer with commit access to the GitHub repository. [3]

- Commit his changes to the public GitHub repository, where they can be seen by anyone. [3]

- Gain physical access to the offline machine with the private key and know the passphrase used to encrypt it.

[1] https://www.bitrated.com/

[2] https://www.bitrated.com/security.html#browser-extension

[3] That's assuming that GitHub and Travis-CI are themselves secured. Gaining access to any of them would make those steps unnecessary.
Thanks! Not sure if downvoters are missing it, or just feel that the humor is too off topic (not entirely unreasonable).

Does Amazon not have 30-day undelete for bulk storage? Seems crazy.
We have a love/hate-relationship, but speaking as a Norwegian, being honest and not just wanting to stick it to those damn swedes, I think there is some truth to it. I've always looked at both Stockholm and Copenhagen as more cultured than Oslo. Compared to Oslo, both Stockholm and Copenhagen has a much richer history.

It's sort of like a sibling relationship. Don't dare touch them, or you'll feel the wrath of the other siblings, but internally, we all like to make fun at the others expense. I recommend taking a look at the comic strip Scandinavia and the World, it talks a lot about that, and is pretty funny. [1]

If you are serious about relocating to Sweden then Stockholm is not your only choice. Other cities may provide even better quality of life depending on what you like. At least also consider:
* Göteborg
* Linköping
* Umeå
It gets you about 90% there according to my 150 page so far PhD thesis. And a whole world of pain that I no longer have to worry about, so I can concentrate on the incredible pain of writing the last 50 pages.
I think part of the tl;dr is that at first it was the right tool for the job, but then both the tool AND the job changed, and then it wasn't that good.

What I'm wondering though, is they say Wallet is being focused on mobile devs, but what if I'm a mobile dev that also wants to offer a subscription service or something else that they identified as a problem for them?

But touching the PSTN isn't where VOIP gets regulated under the FCC rules. If you have Vonage and only make VOIP to VOIP calls, you still pay the tax.

That's the whole point of bringing up USF: one can imagine ways to limit the USF fees to the PSTN network, but the FCC has used its regulatory authority to reach a broader set of service providers. Also: the PSTN angle is a red herring anyway. Now that USF is used to fund broadband, its arbitrary to limit USF taxes to something that touches the PSTN network.
How about the language barrier? Is it realistic for an English speaking North American to move to Sweden and work there? I presume Swedish will be their primary language...

Their core business is that monetization, by definition.

The NFL is primarily sponsored through network agreements, which themselves are primarily sponsored through advertisers. Is the "core business" of the NFL, then, advertising?

Of course it isn't. Such an argument is specious to the point of uselessness, and only appears in the form of rhetoric. The NFL's core business is making an entertaining sports product that people like watching, and then they find ways to monetize from that.

Ask HN: What can I do to find more leads for freelancing?
So far I have worked with handful of clients. Back in January, when I went this route, it was a high risk move for me. However, I ended up alright. Now growing as a freelance developer, I have setup a portfolio website http://appsonify.com in hopes that I can win more clients.

I've gotten lucky in the past but have no developed system where I am constantly sifting through leads to follow, and this worries me.

Where to even start looking, is the biggest question for me. People say go to meetups, but I don't know what meetups I should attend to find gigs.

I also looked into Adwords but it seems super expensive upwards of $1 per click. What strategies can I employ to purchase leads? Or should I even be doing this at all?

If you are currently a freelancer, what was the single most effective action you took towards landing more client leads?

Any advice or feedback is greatly appreciated.
>>it looks decently typical for a Scandinavian city at its latitude.

I did write "Sweden", not Stockholm, so yes.

(Sure, north Sweden is a different subject.)

(I had fun on Facebook yesterday when the Finns told about their snow. :-) It is very uncommon in June.)

Edit: To move inside Scandinavia isn't really moving to a foreign country, Dewie. I lived in Helsinki a few years, really nice but it was disappointingly non-exotic.

Edit 2: And for Norwegian weather -- check climate of Bergen for rain. (That said, a wonderful city to live.)
If the majority of police accept bribes then obviously you shouldn't trust the police. I did not advocate any particular solution (such as stop having police or government). But untrustworthy police should not be policing and untrustworthy government should not be governing.
"Forgive me for being stupid, but what does google have to do with all this? It's the last source of traffic that I would think of when it comes to blogging, I could be completely wrong about this but I can't imagine that's the way to to it."

The biggest source of traffic on my blog is google. Links from elsewhere cause spikes at bests, but that is it. Search engine is what drives clicks.
Yes, so all it takes then if for amazon to either be buggy or to fail for some reason. You can't really outsource responsibility for stuff like backups. They should be under your control and yours alone, and they should not live in the same DC or with the same provider where you store the rest of your data.

And when you've made your backup you take it offline so that no matter what you can get back in business.
"We are in the real world and what we say matters". That was the logic that ousted Larry Summers from Harvard. There is a double standard. Men and women have different brains and different emotional needs. Lesbian brains can be more similar to mens'.

You are correct only to a point when it comes to self-knowledge. I am horrified that I was never allowed to learn about evolution and science in general, though I've done my best to catch up (started with the cosmos series from the 70s, just finished The Grand Design for the second time and am currently reading Cosmos and the Greatest Show on Earth).

I suspect the idea of the sacred and profane is a vestigial part of most human's brains.
I had a feeling someone would mention Egypt. But despite where it actually is Egypt is usually called Middle East, not Africa.

In Amsterdam there is a PR thing by a national beer brand where they take an old style horse drawn cart loaded with beer barrels (empty?) through the city. When they go up a bridge it is incredible to see how much power those horses can muster in the short stretch up the bridge, the sparks are shooting out from under their hooves and you can see their bodies strain with the effort. Very impressive.
> I met a lot of people, but all of them were expats

I actually really like this about Copenhagen. You can meet a ton of interesting people, from all over. It's often easier to meet them than in their home countries, too, because you have this being-foreign thing in common. I've met a bunch of Spanish and German people in Copenhagen who I doubt I would've met in Spain and Germany, for example. Compared to other places where that might happen I think it's particularly ideal because there is so much use of English as a lingua-franca in public settings: many events, talks, meetups, university programs, cultural programs, etc. are in English, even when there are few to no native English speakers present, and the crowds they attract are very multicultural (lots of Danes, lots of foreigners from European countries, and a few non-European foreigners). So it's not only these little expat ghettoes like the "Italians in Germany club" that foreigners can go to. Rather, lots of public events are just routinely multinational. For example the monthly meetup of Copenhagen game developers is in English and typically has 10+ nationalities represented.

I assumed Stockholm would be similarly multicultural, but perhaps not?
>The source code from the GitHub repository is built on Travis-CI and the resulting hashes are published publicly on Travis's job page.

so, the NSA needs only to publish their hashes here (or send them only to specific clients or insert them MTM style).
