I agree decentralization is desirable but haven't studied all of the proposals in depth. Over at http://www.certificate-transparency.org/comparison Google claims:

...that their CT approach is superior to TACK because (T1) Servers can instantly roll out a new key if the previous one is lost (T2) Global (ie. whole internet sees evil server instead of good server) and targeted attack detection is superior (T3) There are no trusted third parties (T4) Newly issued keys on totally new sites can also be validated (to a greater extent) (T5) No server modification (ie. to deliver pinning headers) is required.

... that their CT approach is superior to Convergence because (C1) It is not known to introduce side-channel attacks due to changes in the SSL connection negotiation phase (C2) Servers can instantly roll out a new key if the previous one is lost (C3) Global attacks (ie. whole internet sees evil server instead of good server) are negated (C4) There are no trusted third parties (C5) Newly issued keys on totally new sites can also be validated (C6) No server modification (ie. to deliver pinning headers) is required.

Can anyone refute these claims?

I like this a lot. I'm really sick of the debates regarding appropriate motivations that are so common on this site. It's not that motivation doesn't matter, it's just that it's different for everybody. The one part of a start-up that gets to be personal that gets to be yours, no matter what, is why you're doing it. Everything else is icing on the cake.

Exactly. It does not make any freakin sense, yet people are banging on implementation details like which cypher is better like you could not circumvent the entire process with a cert signed by a compromised CA.
Can you enumerate your reasons why?
Exactly this, the western world has long meddled in the region, drawing arbitrary borders and sowing unrest politically,economically and via force many times.
I tend to agree with you. But in your hypothetical case, what's different about a someone (the NSA, etc) installing Chrome and enabling the RA extension vs just installing another remote access tool?
The Economist rather notably omitted the seeds of the current state sowed in the Sykes Picot agreement, which made a hash of things just as the old local power structure was in collapse. Rather than create a stable start for the region as the beginning of its development, the UK -- probably with The Economist's supporting conventional wisdom -- made it all the worse.

It's important to note that requiring 10000+ real threads would be a huge limitation, performance-wise. At that scale you end up with a lot of overhead from process switching.

The difference is a big reason why Apache 2.2 would slow to a crawl and eat up gigabytes of RAM at 100% processor utilization on the same load that Nginx could handle with 10Mb of RAM and 20% processor utilization. [1] (I understand more recent versions of Apache now support polling [2].)

There are regions that have atheistic people blowing themselves up. Sri Lanka is one example of this. Religion is not necessary.

As for your question, Islam was a lot more inclusive before the mongol hordes sacked Baghdad and brought an end to the Caliphate.
That kind of reasoning seems to be known as the perfect solution fallacy.
Can you explain what the point of the title of this post? Its pathetic. Plus, In conservative culture as ours, women prefer not to tell exactly where they are to have their bit of fun.
Kind of reminds me of the saying, "pay peanuts, get monkeys."
There was a Bloomberg article about this some years ago.

Axcom was run by James Ax, and jointly owned by Ax & Simons. (Axcom was a 'trading advisor'. They made recommendations to Renaissance, which managed a fund based on these recommendations.) Ax was in essence hired by Simons to explore & develop quantitative trading ideas Simons & Baum had come up with while they were making more traditional trades.

Berlekamp came along several years later, as a consultant. One can find claims that he developed a lot of RenTech's IP, but as far as I can tell these claims are sourced from Berlekamp himself. Since Berlekamp's own fund went out of business after a few years of operation, I'm inclined to dismiss these claims as marketing.
I'd be surprised, only because he puts his name on everything else - why make this one anonymous? I assume that the Andrew Luck thing came from some tech donor type, but that's definitely a WAG.
Pretty cool, a similar concept like StartupHub [0]... (also in the making)

A great deal of this could be applied to 19th century Western (European and American) society. Indeed it's not hard to find distinct homegrown pockets of such social ills today. I don't disagree with the authors views about the toxicity of some values, but they have to be evaluated in their socioeconomic ocntext or risk being confused with innate characteristics.
"The idea is to carry on fighting at any cost"

Ask HN: Can I have $75 of your money?

Yup. That and the continual Western presence in the region constantly builds up pressure. It's hard to feel free with an ever present security force, a constant string of corrupt political leaders who use religion to their advantage, and when international allegiances are murky at best. A great book on the subject is "Lawrence in Arabia" by Scott Anderson.

I don't like saying it, but I can't take this Economist article seriously if it doesn't even bring up some of the most important events of the last 100 years in the region. Yes, times are different; the region used to be very successful, promoting education and equality of all types. But it's no mystery as to why those changes came about, and why the region won't easily revert to what it used to be.

Five things I wish I knew before I learned code
Thanks so much, this is great advice. Definitely all things we plan on doing.
Aaaand you've changed the topic from matters of incentive, thus ceding the point. Thanks for playing!
Neat! We're planning to launch this week, so we may have them beat there (wink), but we're focusing on side projects, not startups. We know everyone can't be fully dedicated to a new company, and many people have families and bills to pay and they can't take the risk of the business failing.
This is a really good article. There's no exact path, though startup media likes to make you think there is. Raise tons of money? Raise no money? Ad supported? SaaS? Is this trend over? None of it really matters. Go for what you will commit yourself to, put a plan to it, and make sure that you're happy with what it can produce. That's the biggest issue. Many founders will start lifestyle businesses, want to turn them into VC backed ones, and start to mutate what they're working on. During that mutation things go very awry. Know who you are and embrace it.
Great link bait for Facebook. If you allow image uploads so people can replace an actors face with another, I can see it catching on (unless I'm completely missing the point). What is your plan with this?
How is Sri Lanka atheist? Their civil war was a secular conflict and I agree that religion isn't a necessary precondition for war, but extrapolating from secular causes to atheism seems a bit of a leap.
It may be a cultural thing but I rarely find this style of poster motivating. More often I find it demotivating that an employer or co-worker has the gall (or perhaps naivete) to expect to influence my personal motivation through an arbitrary aphorism pinned to the wall. I enjoy witty and insightful as much as the next person but would not wish to work at a place where truisms decorate the halls. I'd rather have scenery and nice paintings, thanks all the same.
Arguably yes. Within 2 years of constitutional reform the empire was seeing large scale inter-religious violence for nearly the first time in its history.
I have enjoyed working with Nightmod so far. Thank you for taking the time to create it. I think that this will be a fun tool to brainstorm gameplay ideas quickly. So far I've successfully used it as a kind of REPL for a larger game project.

Whoa, please don't. This comment would be fine if it were just the second sentence.
I used MTurk off and on through my teens[0] (15-18) and found that the majority of my earnings came in through the 50 word or less summaries. You get to a point where you've read enough PR department press releases that you can write the entire summary (at least to the required standards, which in my experience, is "barely comprehensible English") by looking at the headline. I was able to finish 50 word summaries in under 30 seconds. They values range from .25-.50 and they seem to come from a lot of submitters.

I've had a theory that out in the world somewhere is someone selling a guide to using MTurk to create article summaries and the guide suggests the price range of $.25-.50 because for the entire time that I've been on MTurk (many years now), every time I come back the price range is the same with small fluctuation.

Past the relatively low amount of summaries that are posted daily, money can be made by watching the right forums where people post high paying HITs (the name of the most popular forum eludes me at the moment) that are typically 5-15 minute surveys that pay .5-3.00 each.

By far, the biggest barrier to making a decent wage for me was the number of available HITs. The ones that pay over pennies each are few while the ones that are horrible time invests are everywhere. If I had an unlimited number of summary HITs, I could have made well over minimum wage.

Jihad is an important concept in Islam, war is not.
The word jihad is often used in the context of internal and personal struggle, and physical (or external) jihad becomes the struggle against oppression or prosecution.

Perhaps what changed between the past and today is the shift in focus from an 'inner' jihad to an 'outer' one. Militants justify their violence with the chaotic events of the last century; these are perceived as oppression, much of it due to western countries.

For more on the concept of Jihad: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jihad
Apparently the twist is designy.
Well, that was kinda a big difference between Diginotar and Comodo. Diginotar got hacked, knew about it, then tried to mitigate without telling anyone. Comodo got hacked and disclosed what they knew ASAP. Diginotar was pulled from the trusted root stores and went out of business and Comodo wasn't.

There were probably other reasons for the differential treatment (the scope of the Diginotar hack was bigger, for example), but I think that a lot of them are essentially strong correlates of the disclosure policy (i.e. if you have other responsible security practices, you're more likely to have a good disclosure policy).
Oh, I thought I could get just "the ratio", like, SLV price at date X / GLD price at date X.

Would that be too hard to implement? I would love being able to pull ratios out of (almost) any arbitrary data.

It's dehumanizing to work and get paid little or nothing at all. You seem to be reading much more in the comment you're replying to than was actually said.
First thing I did was search the page for the name "Sykes," and his absence made it obvious that this was to be yet more of the unaware Oxbridge noodling for which the Economist is famous.
The registrars would love this ;)

DANE and DNSSEC feel to me like the only currently proposed replacement for the CA system that has a chance of succeeding, not necessarily because of technical superiority, but because of practicality and simply being "good enough".
Andrew McAfee has a number of interesting articles and talks on this. E.g. http://andrewmcafee.org/2014/06/mcafee-autor-edsall-jobs-ski...

The way I see it, automated jobs will still add real value to the economy. Perhaps everyone can receive a share of that surplus through some form of universal income. At that point, assuming most of society's economic value creation is automated, monetary compensation could be completely decoupled from labor, yet everyone can be better off since everyone would be resource rich.
That's what the "avoid ghetto" function is, which really exists (and has for some time).
I've turked for fun and you'd be shocked how many incredibly long psych surveys have scale of 1 to 10 questions like "enter a 5 as the answer to this question if you expect to get paid". Also if a survey asks "how much do you love the new windows phone" you can fully expect the opposite question perhaps on the next page "how much do you hate the new windows phone". Presumably they correlate the data somehow?

I've never run into a serious college professor category of trick question.

Turk is a grind game if you don't need the money. If you're susceptible its going to be a little moth to flame for you and all that matters is your meaningless number goes up, or if you're easily bored like me, you'll turk for like 20 hours one week and then not think about it again, until this HN question, in fact.

I will say that any researcher type would be horribly disappointed by turking because I did it while watching TV, or drinking a beer, and I have a low tolerance not being much of a drinker. Speaking of beer, I am told there is, or was, something of a fad of trying to turk fast enough to pay for your booze. There is no way humanly possible to turk fast enough to drink at a bar, but cheap freshman class beer in a dorm is totally realistic. Can you pay for that six pack on mturk before you finish drinking it? So... I don't think anyone could get homework assignments done on mturk. At least if you want to pass the class or have graduated from grade school. The linked article example is far beyond anything I ever wrote for mturk.

The most insulting and infuriating turk jobs I ran into were not on the author's list, basically being paid to be spammed to. Here's 20 full page variations of a home equity mortgage spam, now pick your favorite one for a nickle. Or call this number and talk to this scammer for a minimum of 5 minutes and then come here and fill out a survey for like 10 cents, at least on the surface its for "quality control" but you know its really to give you the hard sell.

Life is cheap on the turk, and its full of work hits that pay the equivalent of a buck an hour or less, which is eventually super demotivating / depressing. You hear about cool high paying hits but end up filling out 20 page surveys about B.S. for like ten cents, and getting sick of it.
Imagine a web without URLs. That’s what the mobile app world looks like now
The 'resource curse' of sitting on top of vast reserves of cheap (-to-extract) oil doesn't help. A lot of war-torn African countries have a similar problem - there are plenty of unfussy buyers offering enough money to a) be worth killing for and b) maintain a large system of patronage.
Your site looks great! I like the idea.

I'm trying to do a conversion and it's running really slow. It's been processing for over 5 minutes now and it's only about 2% done. Is your server overloaded at the moment?

Nice work!
As far as I know Ada doesn't have dependent types.
I feel like this article nails a few things, then builds a structure around some things that just aren't true. its totally possible, for example, to have validations that apply to a normal user but not an admin. The real problem that's missed in this article is that validations shouldn't be on the data or the persistence, but on the interaction.

I'm totally with the OP on saying goodbye to Rails proper, but if one doesn't understand the essence of why the 'breakup' is necessary and good, the same mistakes will be repeated with the next language/framework/platform one chooses to date.

I am playing with the position that if you want to use Rails as intended by its creators and your application is too complex to implement in ActiveAdmin without a lot of accidental complexity, you should find another framework.[1]

Can't. And yes, I have been aware that other countries have FOIA-like legislation, just as I am aware the Soviet Union and China had/have constitutional rights to freedom of speech.

I am still of the opinion that this means little if nothing without a discussion of implementation details. I.e., whether or not they match American jurisprudence on application to intelligence services such as the case at hand. (E.g., It is on the implementation details when you discover that China and the USSR do NOT have freedom of speech, their constitutions be damned. The devil's in the details.) Wikipedia does not go this in-depth, the UK has stare decisis but lacks codified laws, Germany's FOIA laws are very recent, Sweden is small with an even smaller pool of lawyers and law professors who write about such issues, and in general these countries don't seem to have well-developed "constant jurisprudence" to compliment their very ambiguous statutory law, so the state of things can be extremely difficult to ascertain. (I admit I did not know Sweden's freedom of the press "constitutional law" was applicable, nor about Germany's recent legislation which is not very tested AKAIK. I assume Russia has one as well, leftover from Soviet times. The UK, Russia, Germany and Sweden are the only countries who's legal systems I have knowledge of.)

Just as in America, there is statutory law, then there is reality. They can, and do, deviate significantly.
The problem is that a CA is issuing two things:

1. An identity.

2. A secure communications certificate.

These do not need to be the same thing or issued by the same entity. I propose to modify the system as follows:

1. Register a domain name using an email address and a PGP key.

2. The registrar verifies that the applicant has the private key by requiring a clicked link in an encrypted mail.

3. A phone number is required for "full trust".

4. Thus with a private PGP key and a phone, trust that the applicant is the applicant has been established. It really doesn't matter who or what that applicant is -- just that the applicant and only that applicant has the required items.

5. The registrar passes the public key and the top domain to DNS servers. DNS validates against the registrar. And trust in the domain as an entity is now established.

6. Secure communications with the domain can now be established through the use of certs issued by the top level domain. And the domain becomes it's own authority.

Any changes to registrar/domain information requires decrypting an email and answering a phone. Expensive and compromised CA's go away - Domain records become secure - Trust becomes decentralized - And domain owners hold all the keys... The only thing anyone else has is the domain holder's public key... SSL itself remains in place as is...

Sure, if you lose your private key - you're screwed -- but that's just owning up being a responsible domain owner.
I don't think I'm making "murky insinuations" at all. I'm saying quite clearly that I think the Intifada is anti-Jewish, not anti-Israeli, that its goal is the destruction of the state of Israel, and that the motivation for both facts stems from Islam itself.
Cough, the Sykes Picot was from 1916.

It sounds more like the standard way a dictator blame everyone else -- except their corrupt practices and oppression -- to explain why his country is a POS.

Hell, even the traditional scapegoat is officially used, with reprints of Zion's protocols and outright anti semitism in officially sanctioned media.

I.e. the same as we had in the west a few decades to centuries ago. (See kings, dictators, et al.)

Edit: Also, the article do touch the Western influence after the centuries of Turkish oppression, without using "Sykes Picot": "In much of the Arab world the colonial powers continued to control or influence events until the 1960s. Arab countries have not yet succeeded in fostering the institutional prerequisites of democracy—the give-and-take of parliamentary discourse, protection for minorities, the emancipation of women, a free press, independent courts and universities and trade unions."

Edit 2: That was quick down votes. :-)

Edit 3: I never argued that it wasn't a mixed picture -- England was early -- and that some were less primitive than my home country, rayiner.
However, the nationalization efforts came because of the reduced stature. Now that isn't to say that the strain of something new like constitutional reform didn't contribute to the problems, these reforms came because everyone knew which direction the Empire was heading.

PS, you speak as if the decriminalization of homosexuality was on par with major structural changes in how the state worked. How... peculiar.
This is cool. I know it would be useful to many different departments within larger organizations. Who are you targeting? large businesses or small mom and pop's?
