>>I was able to escape that and do well through hard work.

How would you have ended up if you didn't have your grandfather giving you that piece of wisdom? For example, what if he was a drug addict and/or an alcoholic, and he abused you and your parents?

The point is that you had something happen that triggered a desire in you to escape your situation. Most low-income people never receive that kind of encouragement or role-modeling.
I think it is unlikely that the presence of a nice libgecko would change the dominance of Blink/WebKit on Android and iOS. Mozilla didn't really enter that fight, but even if we had I think we'd have lost (which frankly makes our lack of effort there seem wise).
This seems reasonably easy to disable.

Off the top of my head: when rasterizing text, use a pseudo-random, invisible perturbation of a few pixels in the output bitmap seeded with a hash of the current domain and perhaps the number of days since the epoch.
Do not announce things until done. This is just shameless marketing stunt.
From the article "When running the traffic video recognition demo, it consumed just 63 milliwatts of power. Server chips with similar numbers of transistors consume tens of watts of power" and "laptop that had been programed to do the same task processed the footage 100 times slower than real time, and it consumed 100,000 times as much power as the IBM chip" So if those statements are true I would say it is about 10,000 to 100,000+ more energy efficient. That is a rather large claim so we would need to see more proof...

> Note that the snippet is repo-agnostic: It can be copy-pasted without modification and will work correctly if forked to a different repo. Heroku resolves the repo originating a button click by inspecting the referer header.

Is the referer reliable enough on modern browsers to assume this? Perhaps coming from an analytics perspective, we see all types of query-string hacks so that you can attribute the sources of links everywhere... so it's surprising to see a company depend on this functionality in a product. I suppose almost all developers would be using a browser that correctly sends referer headers... is this the case?
Cloudflare hosts and defends the sites of numerous DDoS-for-pay services and they refuse to take them down.

http://krebsonsecurity.com/2014/02/the-new-normal-200-400-gb...

"[The DDoS-for-pay] industry probably would destroy itself without Cloudflare’s protection, and furthermore ... some might perceive a credibility issue with a company that sells DDoS protection services providing safe haven to an entire cottage industry of DDoS-for-hire services."
Does it simulate different delays for left / right ear?
Speaking strictly, you're right, but when you consider (a) Cloudflare's connection to your server is insecure (b) Cloudflare is listening in on every request (c) Cloudflare blocks VPN and Tor users, it doesn't seem like such an obvious decision. But that's a false dichotomy, since everybody should use HTTPS, nobody should use HTTP, and, most importantly, nobody should be okay with third-parties snooping on your users.
That's amazing. Thank you.

Why? The crypto is just as strong with a self-signed cert as a "name brand" cert. The only downside is teaching users to ignore SSL errors, which is bad.

Has anyone ever made or seen a robot that's the size/shape of a pencil that has inner motors and can propel itself by rolling? That would be useful if you put a small camera in it (it would have to be stopped of course to record or take a picture).

The only reason I mentioned that was because I could see the originally linked to robot being useful if it could also return to it's flat position on it's own and slide under doors (would need thin batteries and motors but that's doable). But then the pencil shaped robot seems more practical for that purpose and would be fairly stealthy.

he asked me to sent half of the payment to his bank account, but i refused asked him to sent me one piece by payment at the time of delivery to courier guy. And I claimed I will book 100 of them by paying in half if I get the first one perfect. So this is where we are at the moment. Let me see what he responds :D
Yes. For an extreme example, imagine the wing of an airplane (or anything) sitting on the ground. It's putting a force on the ground, the ground's putting a force on it, and its altitude remains constant. The ground isn't getting any extra downward momentum, and the plane isn't getting any extra upward momentum.

Now consider a hovercraft. It sits on air. It does not push as much air downward as an airplane of equal weight would push. The amount of air it has to displace is probably proportional to the length of its perimeter (around the sides) multiplied by the height of the cushion of air it sits on multiplied by the air pressure underneath. Double the size of the hovercraft in both horizontal linear dimensions, and you've got double the perimeter, same air pressure (the machine's weight growing proportionally to area) and same cushion height, meaning you're holding four times the weight up with twice the air displacement.

Now consider a low-flying airplane. This is like an inefficient hovercraft, with the ground effect in play. Less air gets "pushed downward" than the same plane flying higher off the ground.

Consider a high-flying airplane. The ground effect is gone, but air's still got viscosity. Fly around the world forever and you'll notice that the amount of air beneath the plane is not actually increasing.

Hovering helicopters have to push more air downward than moving helicopters because they have to fight the stream of downward moving air that they've created for themselves.

If air had virtually no viscosity (suppose atoms were really tiny) then you'd have to fly by somehow forcing air to move downwards. If air had an extremely high amount of viscosity (relative to the mass and power of human-scale mechanical devices) then you wouldn't move it downwards at all -- planes would move around in the air like an amoeba or have a cylindrical conveyor belt surface. Our atmosphere is somewhere between these extremes.

I don't believe that. Yes, the bump allocation step is just as fast as stack allocation because you just increment a pointer. But the extra allocation triggers more frequent collections of the nursery which is much slower than decrementing the stack pointer which is how you "free" objects on the stack. Intuitively nursery allocation just can't be as stack allocation but I haven't seen any benchmarks.

Fair enough. I suppose there are a significant number of applications where there isn't an obvious way to perform coarse-grained partitioning of object lifetimes. If you are a language designer looking to force a memory management scheme on all of your users pools would be a bad choice.
That actually makes me trust them more. If they don't take down a site like that, then whatever site I run is certainly in the clear.

Free Workshop: Building your first Swift app
In finance circles, when companies are referred to as "Million/Billion Dollar Businesses" it's typically in terms of their market capitalization, which is consistent with the OP's title.

Obviously we could quibble about the liquidity / depth of AirBnB's valuation, but it's pretty safely into the billion+ market cap realm.

One example why it makes sense to use market cap. rather than revenue comes from post-bankruptcy GM. When they re-IPOed in 2010, GM's market cap was roughly $50B. However, in 2010, GM had $135B in revenue. Would anyone really argue that GM is a "$130 Billion Business" when you could purchase the entire firm for $50B?

Right, you will not disappear from the results. The reaction (granted maybe overreaction) is about Google pushing HTTPS hard for security (which could be good but not automatically so) and not caring in areas where it is as important if not more.

You are just proving my point. Google rewards the richest, those who have the resources as you say. As for care, I would be clad if people were not going to do it for the wrong incentives. Will Google just check if HTTPS is available and reward or will it also check for broken cipher and penalize ?

I am not against HTTPS. Just saying that rewarding HTTPS is not enough. It's worst actually, some will set it up quickly and badly just for the extra ranking points and not the actual security it should be providing.

To me the red herring here is pretending doing it for security. What is the point of HTTPS if I receive my password by mail ? To me email is more important to secure first. Google could perfectly incentive security practices in Gmail without loosing a single customer. I would even settle for just signing instead of encrypting mails.

As for enforcing, HTTP2 (that is SPDY) IS enforcing HTTPS.

IMO, Good HTTPS where it matters is more important then Crappy HTTPS everywhere just is ridiculous and could even be dangerous thanks to a false sense of security.

I think the idea is to have more compile-time static type checking, e.g. for exhaustiveness. Probably any C# functional developer experimented with the monadic approach (myself included), for example: http://codebetter.com/matthewpodwysocki/2008/09/16/functiona...
I assume you are referring to Tor? We love Tor and the specific things we block by default are resource consumption bots. If people enable. "I Am Under Attack" mode , I think there is some incidental interstitial challenge for Tor, but not blocked.

We don't comment on our customers unless they authorize us to, but based on the list of public ones, I would be pretty comfortable, even if I didn't work there.

Indeed, As a pirate I would certainly not spend weeks digging an elaborate treasure vault that would need a full crew. Putting all of my goods at one location wouldn't look like a good idea either. I would rather bury my treasure at different locations, and not too deep so that the job can be done quickly with the help of a couple of "expandable" guys. This has the extra advantage that retrieving it is easier, and may serve as a life insurance if I get caught and tortured (or at least buy time and give chances to escape or be rescued).

This also probably requires a map. Carving it in stone is probably the best (memory fades, paper burn), but here I would use caution again and would not write everything on a single stone.

GNU APL 1.4
They made a big bet on 16 bit chars before utf-8 existed. Lots of stuff from the same time period stuck with the same choice (java is one example). I am not a fan or opponent of utf-16, utf-8 does work well, but in many places a larger char type is a reality. In Windows it's the only way that makes sense, by the time you get to a syscall you need 16 bit strings and support for anything else without conversion is considered legacy.

I'm not even saying this is the only way to structure a code base or that I'm unwilling or haven't seen or worked with something else. I'm talking about what the sane conventions for a Windows app would be. When in Rome, and all that. I would not advocate utf-16 on Unix (even if that's what millions of people using say Java end up getting).

Yes, the method you propose for inducing a representation for unseen words is sound.

However, once you can train on almost one trillion tokens, the issue of unknown words is not going to happen very often. i.e. what's really left to work on is inducing higher quality representations of observed words. The goal would be that a simple model could inject these representations and perform well on, say, the word analogies task (or any other pure lexical semantics task).

What's interesting about Pennington et al's work for me is how they found a really fast training method, and thus could train on 840B tokens from Common Crawl. I've spent a lot of time thinking about this problem, and this approach is quite elegant.
> Codius (and Orisi.org) can deliver external inputs to the contracts - it's something no blockchain system can do by design.

False, when I make a bitcoin purchase, and external input (the amount I spent) makes it into a bitcoin script. In other altcoin systems you can put in arbitrary datafeeds, like the weather (admittedly with a gatekeeper that spoon feeds it to the blockchain) Also, if someone wanted to create an altcoin that allowed totally arbitrary inputs (like Codius) I see no reason why it would be technically impossible.
There is also the practical concern for NSA that cloudflare is a well resourced, highly motivated company who has publicly committed to protecting customer data. It would be a lot easier to push around a small company or non profit, especially a company which didn't have the resources or freedom to defend itself. It would certainly be possible to try to get a company like CloudFlare, Twitter, etc to bend to the NSA's will , but they know they are basically guaranteed a fight. Much safer to go to a smaller hosting provider or the end user organization or personnel themselves.
