I installed a new DigitalOcean VPS instance with the Wordpress app install image. I hadn't yet run the Wordpress install because I ran out of time that evening so I powered down the instance because I knew that the install wasn't secure.

I had made a few tweaks to the server (SSH setup, etc) so I took a snapshot and went to bed.

I did not realise but, the snapshot process restarted the server after completion. The next time I came back the server I had a Polish Wordpress blog. Luckily I had mis-configured the permissions and you were unable to install any plugins, so not much damage could be done.

Still, please be aware that snapshots on Digital Ocean restarts the server after completion!
"My biggest takeway from those meetings was that that educators have a really hard job, much harder than even what educated people assume"

I appreciate all the things that cause the job of teachers to be very hard. But as someone whose wife is a teacher, let me just throw out there the reason the job is really hard is the 'kids' and the 'parents'. It's the people.

Kids who don't want to be taught and the parents (some who care 'too' much and some who 'do not' care)...
That's probably because papillomavirus inactivates two tumour suppressing proteins in order to allow the host cell to proliferate. Nothing to do with inflammation per se.
Visiting forums to advice and give advice, how to make it less time consuming
I like to visit different forums for advice and to give advice but I feel that I am doing it quite
inefficiently. It seems to be very time-consuming. Does anyone have any advice on how to make it
less time consuming and easier? Tools? Techniques? Apps? Short cuts? Any advice would be much appreciated

I think the writer is referring to the vacation rental industry not to hotels, which is a different ballgame altogether and where customers DO want to make comparisons and often to make decisions which are purely priced-based, for convenience.
In the holiday rental business the quality of the experience for the customer should be at the top of the agenda, and this is where the aggregators have got it totally wrong, in their search for shareholder value. If you search in one of the big sites the first several pages are occupied by those properties which are going to bring the most revenue to the aggregator and which in many cases are in turn inventory provided by another site with little or no knowledge of the individual properties.
You will probably never get tot he well managed properties with many 5 star reviews owned by individuals who care about your holiday experience because they are not worth as much to the aggregator so they are right at the bottom of the lists. If the aggregator cared about your holiday they would be at the top and possibly over the long term this would bring him more revenue because travellers would come to know that they could find the best properties quickly.
You also cannot get to actually speak to an owner of any of the properties on the several first pages because they are all on commission rather than subscription and obviously they don't want you bypassing their system and paying the owner.
Long term this is very bad for the industry and in particular for guests.

One small step. Maybe in a few more years' time I'll be able to fill in my name (which contains an accented character) on web forms without insultingly being told "invalid name".
Nice rhetoric.

Unfortunately, the future value of a 70 year income stream is effectively nil.

You can look at this in terms of the present values of annuities or perpetuities. In the case of a perpetuity (a constant income stream forever), the present value is expressed as: C/r

Where C is the period cash flow, and r is the nominal rate of interest expressed as a decimal fraction, e.g., a 5% interest rate is given as 0.05.

The value for any period of the perpetuity is C/(1+r)^n

Where n is the period.

Assuming a $1000 constant payment stream, the present value of the 70th payment is only $32.86. Double that and you're down to $1.08 as present value of a $1000 future payment.

At 14 years, you're seeing $505 in present value, at 28 years, $255.

This is sensitive to the interest (discount) rate, where the present value falls as interest rises. A 10% nominal interest rate gives you a $263 value for 14 years, $69 at 28, $1.27 at 70, and $0.001 at 140 years. At a 2% interest rate, the values are $758, $574, $250, and $62, respectively.

So while your argument does make a case for a fixed term of copyright, it doesn't pass muster for an extensive duration. Nor, more compellingly, does it allow for the retroactive extension of copyright duration as has been the case for the Doyle estate. Sir Arthur didn't write his works, published between 1887 and 1927, with any reasonable expectation that his heirs or corporate designates would be continuing to profit by them in 2014.

I love the “informed comments” on this article too. How do these people not melt when it rains?
Havent seen anywhere for this - most/all airlines seem to prefer to go for maximum cost the closer to the day rather than trying to fill up empty seats. Lastminute.com was setup for this originally but ive never seen any good last minute flight deals on it - just the same as found on the airline's website.
There does seem to be a sweet spot with pricing - if you buy too far in advance the cost can be higher too.
The only deal I know of on the day is the last minute upgrade - business class can sometimes be had for a large discount - you have to ask when checking in and they will tell you if any deals are available.

How soon are we going to see demonstrations of Uber drivers complaining about Uberpoolers taking their business?
Studies of the ǃKung San, who were recently hunter-gatherers living in a rather marginal environment, showed that they could get by doing far less work than farmers. The work they did do was strenuous. For example, they practiced persistence hunting. However, on average they had a lot more leisure time. Being a hunter-gatherer was probably an even sweeter deal before farmers and ranchers gobbled up all the prime real estate.

Interestingly enough, the recent history of the !Kung shows that settling down and joining the rest of civilization does not always benefit the fairer sex. !Kung society was much less sexist before contact than it is now, as the surrounding peoples they are now in contact with are not exactly the most egalitarian. Most archaeologists consider egalitarian social structure to be typical of hunter-gatherer societies, with rigid hierarchical structure being an innovation resulting from settlement. Consider the concept of being "rich" for example. In a nomadic pastoral culture, wealth might be owning a big herd. In a sedentary culture, wealth might take the form of housing or accumulated items. A hunter-gatherer does not own animals and has to carry everything he/she owns around. A hunter-gather's abilities are his/her wealth.

There are plenty of "civilized" places on Earth today where being poor is basically hell. There's ceaseless toil, no power or freedom, pollution, violence, poor nutrition, and no real access to the wonders of modern medicine that most of us are aghast at the thought of doing without. I'd far rather be among today's last few hunter-gatherer tribes than an immigrant worker in UAE or Qatar.

How to enable the Internet of Things without batteries
I'm not sure what you're suggesting: that corporations should just adopt the Linux kernel development approach? that all software should be developed as open source?

Just like it turned out that minimized HTTP was faster than SPDY: http://research.microsoft.com/apps/pubs/?id=170059

I'm not sure what the motivation is behind HTTP2/SPDY. There have been consistent misinformation from Google about the performance of it (for instance including initial connection time for HTTP but omitting it for SPDY, using an outdated HTTP stack, not using HTTP pipelining) so I doubt the motivation is performance.

It looks like just not-invented-here bloat, but I wouldn't be surprised to find out that the SPDY connection to google-analytics.com is kept open and reused across tabs.

Yes, that's unfortunate, because I'd take this over Open Plan any day. I think one reason why Open Plan is so popular in nowadays is that it's way cheaper than good cubicles and managers can 'sell' the cost savings to employees by appearing forward thinking and open minded.

On the other hand, Joe Plumber can just as easily die young and leave a destitute family. Does that mean that we have to make a law that all clients of plumbers have to make annual payments to their plumbers and their descendants for up to 70 years after the plumber’s death?
There is a saying in education that if something new comes in and threatens the education system - the system will co-opt and neutralize it so that it does not threaten the system.

For example, when computers first started being used in classrooms, they were usually used by progressive teachers in a single classroom (they could usually only afford one). The school 'neutralized' it by moving them to a dedicated classroom and teaching the students secondary skills like typing, rather than using it to create with/explore with as part of the curriculum. This continues to present day - with app literacy (Powerpoint) substituted for typing (usually).

iPads are an interesting case. They are not necessarily coming in from the grassroots (the teachers) but from the top-down. Teachers, in some cases, are the ones fighting the iPads. In fact, most of my educator friends, view the iPad 'magical device' moniker with disdain. It's not so much the walled garden as the hype.

This co-opting is also happening with the Maker Movement in schools. As soon as the Maker Movement moves beyond the single classroom, questions start getting asked. Why do you need a dedicated space? What is this Maker thing? How does making things align to Common Core (no joke).

One of the problems of using Khan Academy self-styled learning is that it is very hard to map Khan Academy lessons to traditional student learning objectives (as mapped out in 1.2.3.4 level detail by the school district or state). Without explicit mappings, it's a hard(er) sell.

Now you're just devolving your argument into a No True Scotsman fallacy. Mobile has a ton of competition, Samsung just lost the top spots in China and India. If anything it's lock in that's preventing it from being more competitive if anything.
As the commercial rights of copyrights are transferrable, both your examples are not really valid - people with no family nor close friends, as well as those with less than a year to live can sell their rights to whomever and spend those resources as they wish while they can.

This isn't discriminatory, as the value of the rights would be the same for author with/without family, and for the author with 6 months to live vs 60 years expected lifespan.

The "Federal Poisoning Program" is still in force currently in 27 CFR 19 - 21 as posted by esbranson.

Industrial alcohol can contain numerous optional denaturants other than methanol, here is the latest regulation according to Cornell, showing specific denaturants and their applicable formula Nos.:

http://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/27/21.151

Among these are the SD Alcohols (SDA or Specially Denatured Alcohols) seen in shampoos and other cosmetics.

Many of these denaturants are intended to be nearly impossible to remove from the product, others not as difficult or costly to separate.

The federal government did not need to add poison to alcohol made by bootleggers, it was already present in the hijacked SDAs and CDAs the bootleggers were using as raw material.

Depending on sophistication, bootleggers (sometimes) were removing (some of) the denaturant before clandestinely
distributing their material for beverage use.

EDIT: I have single-handedly tested billions of dollars worth of industrial alcohols, and methanol is one of the big ones around here. Today methanol purity (assay) is performed internationally according to the instrumental technique that I personally developed on my own decades ago and held in confidence for years before it "leaked" from the lab.

Purty good at beverage grade too, considering work for a
craft distiller presently.

No, not really. I've been trying to Learn From Them™ [I'm a reverser...] and well, actually it turned out rather fruitless overall.

They eat their own dogfood, too, and move glacially slow: conservativism and military procurement, yay. (One of the Suite A's is basically LUCIFER without the training wheels, a bigger block, and more parity.)

They really aren't as far ahead as you think. What they do have is an absolutely colossal budget, and that helps a lot, especially when they get to cheat, bribe, etc, and try to convince people to use crap stuff that even I could probably break, or stuff on the verge of that (like RC4).
It's their blog. They're a US-based company primarily (although not exclusively) focused on US consumers. You can expect that to result in English blog posts, just as you might expect a French company dealing with some France-only consumers to post in French.

One solution could be to obfuscate the design when it goes to fabrication and then check the amount of time it takes to fabricate. This assumes that obfuscation is possible in logic design, and insertion of back-doors in an obfuscated design is going to be non-trivial.
