Right now it's charging for the convenience of setup and administration on zerotier.com. You can run your own "netconf master" and create your own networks, but it requires some system administration and Redis database wrangling.

Generally the people who will pay you are the people who want convenience, like business users, and the rest are people who won't ever pay you anyway.

The supernodes are not part of the business model. That architecture just exists to make the system fast and secure by providing managed anchor points. All traffic is end-to-end encrypted so the supernodes can't see traffic content.

I created an old version of this idea many years ago, when I needed to see where a few addresses were in relation to each other. I recently re-wrote it, improving the UI and stability by pushing geocoding out to the client. It is written in Scala using Play, and backed by MongoDB.

It was a fun project, and hopefully people (continue) to find it useful!

SuperTrip is very inspired by my personal experiences geocaching. I always loved geocaching but hated the hide-and-seek mechanics of it. I've spent way too many hours searching for a geocache once I was at the destination and often giving up. SuperTrip is my personal answer to that. Rather than use a GPS location, SuperTrip is only a direction and distance. The location is abstracted so you don't know where you are going but at the same time, the final destination isn't hidden. For me, it made it more of an adventure. Plus, once you reach a destination, you've made it. There is nothing physical at the locations, and the first version is only a pat on the back, but the goal is for there to be in-game rewards for reaching destinations. I just haven't developed all of that yet.

Sure, as soon as you say something along the lines of "oh, you can't believe anyone" or "all media does it" or "the propaganda is coming from both sides" you are branded a shill. Because it's a shill tactic intended to silence a discussion and spread FUD.
> I have no delusions that NATO will not engage in any military conflict, since nobody wants to start WWIII, but this has to be disturbing developments for countries like Poland, Romania, etc.

Don't you mean that you have no delusions that NATO will engage in conflict? Otherwise you're saying you think they will.
The US invasion of Iraq was similar in terms of the US really just doing whatever it wants. That set a precedent for quasi superpowers like Russia that you could get away with stuff like that. You see China doing similar things with their various territory disputes.
Would you say this map is propaganda? By who? The Ukrainian government? The one that can't get it's shit together to oppose this invasion, or really do much of anything managed to set up a whole bunch of very credible looking Twitter accounts, faked NATO satellite photos/reports, etc.? Ukraine has no propaganda because Ukraine doesn't have much of anything. These reports are very far from perfect, but they do seem to be coming from people with feet on the ground.

> Universities are designed to give you a firm grounding in the fundamental concepts, which should give you the ability to understand whatever tools are in fashion in the industry with relative ease.

One of the things that continually frustrates me about people's attitudes toward higher education (at least in the U.S.) is that they don't recognize this fact. An undergraduate university education should give you a general competence, self-motivation, and curiosity. More particular skills can be learned elsewhere; if you spend your time in college learning Java instead of learning to be a well-rounded, thinking, educated person, you're making an expensive mistake. Particular skills go stale quickly, and, unlike other subjects you could study instead, they often lack intrinsic interest.

Companies used to hire people with general competence and then train them in the particular skills they need on the job. I'm not sure why people now seem to expect students to learn these skills at universities, at their own expense. It seems to me that the burden of this training should be on industry, not on universities and their graduates.
As an American...

Please don't read it as support for Russia but standard geopolitical fair. Because of the leaked Victoria Nuland phone call (http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-26079957), it's pretty clear that the US is engaged in some clandestine nation-building in Ukraine. This is not democracy but corruption of democracy.

In this situation, Russia is being an opportunist by securing its interests in the area. the US holds no moral authority over Russia in that regard. Putin knows that westerners are war-weary. And compared to ISIS, Russia is still a saint. So it's the right time for them to support their rebel allies.

Poor Ukraine is being torn apart between 3 world powers.

1) A solution to this are token or password store based methods, that you would never disclose your signature to the service provider.

2) The location for the electrode is fine, but until we can get the laptop manufacturers to integrate the rest of the board, it would have to be external.

3) That is actually one of the applications/selling points we are thinking about. The initial run would be dev-kits, which avoids legislative issues.

4) Windows and Linux will definitely be supported. Unfortunately Apple/Mac OS/iOS are too closed source for a straightforward integration. That being said, I am sure we will find a way.

5) While the initial launch might not hit that price, with scale it is definitely achievable.

6) While we are not sure about the effects of the specific medication you are taking, research suggests that ECGs are invariant to non-structural changes.

If you're not doing X in your free time outside of class anyway, you're probably not cut out for a career in X.

You should be pursuing a degree because it's a thorough & facilitated process of learning what you would be learning on your own anyway. You should be there because it's the fastest, most efficient way to get to the head of the pack of people who do have a tenacious passion for X and do spend a significant part of their free time on X. Every minute you're not doing something in X, you're not improving therein.

You think you're going to have a great career in X just by showing up for class and doing what's assigned? you think that will make for a good practitioner of X compared to others who live-and-breath the subject?

That you don't spend all your time on X doesn't mean you aren't cut out for this career and can't be great. The lead comment was "if you're not doing any X in your free time", not "if you're not spending all your free time on X". Don't wantonly construe the former as the latter.

But fact is, if you're not going above and beyond, you won't get above and beyond.

First, it's extremely hard to get real 'facts' if you are in US right now. I can't find a single reliable source.

I'm neither Ukrainian or Russian but I will provide a small insight into this conflict. Obviously if you have relations to either party you will be supporting that side.

The media is a total joke. Anything they say even if somewhat true will be discredited in some way or another by either side.

Situation here is complex, if you guys were following this the newly elected officials (after the coup) are not officially recognized thought out the whole Ukraine.

Think about it this way, there are republicans and democrats. Whitehouse get's stormed and Obama is thrown out and replaced with let's say Bush.

Bush is backing republican states (keep in mind, it's a bit less civil there), republican states start to fight democrats within those states and assault democrats within their own states.

Democrats start to fight back and shit storm ensues. Now if you flip that a bit, democrats in this case are part of another (powerful) country. That country is sending reinforcements to protect it's people against government that they do not recognize due to coup.

Both sides think they are right. In MY opinion, I think it's valid for cities that are completely Russian to refuse to recognize new president appointed by people who organized a coup. Especially when there could be ties to a nationalist party within Ukraine.

My 2 cents.

also why they deploy and what value they see out of it

Correct, it's algorithm-agnostic. FWIW, Salsa20/12 is the officially-sanctioned eSTREAM winner; it's a perfectly fine cipher choice.
I do not think the country needs an enemy, but I believe leaders want one. Perhaps they imagine themselves as a Winston Churchill or other great military leader. Or, it could simply be the need to call great attention to one area so that they can re-organize things in another without political opposition.
Note: This particular map has been less than completely accurate in the past, and is often carrying a significant pro-Ukrainian slant, including being blatantly false on a couple of really important occasions.

Ah, I see. I didn't even see that they were charging at all. Now I do.
Both are correct. A cryptographic hash function is a hash function that is not invertible, resists tampering and collisions, and has other properties. Using cryptographic hash functions in certain cryptographic settings is appropriate. SHA256("My Super Secret Password") is not one of those settings.

SHA256 can be the basis of a scheme to securely store passwords. There are many different names for that:

* key derivation function

* secure password storage scheme

* password scrambler (PHK's term)

* (...)

A secure password storage scheme uses a cryptographic primitive like a cryptographic hash or a cipher to increase the time it takes to decrypt passwords. That's a good thing, because when it takes your user 0.5 seconds to go from "right password -> on disk hash", it'll take a prohibitively long time for an attacker to guess through passwords.
No idea about legality (not being in or from US I have an excuse for my ignorance); however the idea of charging the defendants for administering justice can be traced back to at least the inquisition. They had a price list for "interrogation" operations, which were payable by the subject being tortu^Winterrogated.

Because a good number of their subjects failed to survive the administrations, these costs were often extracted from their family and relatives, retroactively.

On the director's commentary track for Brazil, Terry Gilliam notes that the inquisition's practice of charging fees for their (in)justice was one of the major ideas when honing the script and the storyboard.

What I Learned as Pandora’s First Data Scientist
UberEverywhere – 205 cities and counting
I'm in a position where I'm mostly exposed to non-western information regarding the situation in Ukraine, since my girlfriend is Russian.

It's funny to see the exact opposite story as the western media is giving. Stories about pro-russians being harassed by pro-western Urkainians and the government were (and are) abundant. From their point of view, a pro-russian government was illegitimately overthrown. General opinion seems to be that democracy only matters to the west as long as it's not too inconvenient to them. Constant allegations and sanctions against Russia while they feel they have very little influence on what pro-russians are doing in Ukraine. Mostly, it seems like there's a feeling of pro-russian sentiments being repressed, the west not giving a damn and Russia's hand being tied via international pressure.

Meanwhile, when I look at the western media, it honestly disgusts me. While pro-russian media generally seems to ignore a lot of stories that put them in a negative light, the western media seems to actively be painting pro-russian and Russia in a bad light. It's a general trend I've noticed in where western media is often on the offensive, and the "counter-party" on the defensive. I guess it's a cultural thing.

Regardless, the Ukrainian government has been making a fool of itself in both the western and eastern media. Since this whole thing started, they've done nothing but make unfounded allegations, trying to "poke the bear" (Russia) and instigate unrest. I feel that they're responsible for a large part of the needless escalation in this conflict.

PS: Your use of the word "propaganda" is an excellent example of how we view things. Everything the "other" side says is propaganda, anything "our" side says is necessarily the truth. This happens on both sides of the conflict, and I think it's a large barrier to actually start solving the problems. Rather than claiming "propaganda", we should consider it points-of-view, and the first thing we should do is ask ourselves: why does the other side hold this point of view, and how come they view it as a completely legitimate moral view to have?

PPS: My girlfriend is, at times, greatly distressed by this whole thing. Like many Russians, almost half her family is in fact Ukrainian. Surprisingly, this seems to cause feelings of sympathy for those family members by both sides, yet they remain quite harsh against other Ukrainian or Russian viewpoints.
>There's literally tons of evidence.

I have no dog in this fight, but it would help your argument to provide some actual evidence, not just promises of evidences coming soon.

If you're so convinced, then you must have at least seen some of these or are you just taking the words of others that evidence are coming soon?
It depends on the style of the college. Computer Science is certainly much more than math. I'd sooner employ a CS major who took foreign languages than one who supplemented his coursework with tons of math classes. Those special/practical degrees that schools offer are just fluff and end up pigeonholing you. If you're going to be a software developer, then computer science is the degree that's most helpful.

Yes. This part sums up how un-biased you are.
The PHP working group decided that they didn't want the baggage belonging to the previous attempt to color PHPNG. There's still a lot of articles about the "PHP 6" that never came to be. So they've decided to skip version 6 and go straight to PHP 7.

I think it's silly, personally.

You could replace "Russia" for "U.S.", "Crimea" for a long list of countries, and your statement would still hold true.

BTW as for the shooting down of the airliner I have not heard of any official source coming to a conclusion as to who is responsible. The U.S. intelligence community, which surely would know something, has remained eerily silent on the issue. Surely if they had information which proved Russia's involvement it would help foster the U.S. propaganda machine.

I'm pretty sure the reality is exactly the opposite of that. Healthier lifestyles increase the amount of "later life care." See Japan as a perfect example, a very healthy aging population creating massive care market (and a big burden on the infrastructure).

People who live a healthier lifestyle live longer, and then get sick from old age (unavoidable). Which increases the amount and length of care. People who live an unhealthy lifestyle never make it to 65, thus never need "later life care" at all.

> For example, if we promote healthier eating habits, we might reduce the amount of late life treatment needed for obesity, heart disease, and diabetes.

Most people with those types of conditions (due to lifestyle, not age) never make it to Medicare. You still get the age related versions of those, and you get things like hip/knee replacements, broken bones, cocktails of daily drugs, cancers, strokes, and so on.

No amount of healthy lifestyle will make older people cheap to care for. All you'll do is increase the pool of older people by promoting healthier lifestyles.

If your goal is to increase the max average age of your population then healthier lifestyle promotion is going to accomplish that. If your goal is to reduce cost then doing "nothing" (and literally letting people die from their own neglect) is the thing to do.

People who argue the whole "fatties/smokers cost us money" thing haven't even given it a tiny amount of thought. Both groups die young, older people are the most expensive care period, therefore fatties and smokers never make it to the super-expensive part of their lives which is "good" (in financial terms, not moral terms).

Do those groups get sick at younger ages? Yes. But propping someone up with diabetes from 40-50 is nothing in cost compared to keeping someone healthy from age 65-75, because at 65-75 you'll still likely be treating diabetes but on top of that also tons of other ailments introduced by age.

What was supposed to be PHP 6 got turned into 5.5 after their attempt at unicode support went south. So now a bunch of folks want the next major version to be named PHP 7 on the basis that the name "PHP 6" has been tarnished.

As a primarily PHP developer right now I honestly don't care what they call it as long as it moves the language forward. But the simple fact that there was a grand debate on the mailing list about something so meaningless and unimportant while important things are ignored is just more confirmation that my decision to begin moving away from the language was the right one.
Good points. As you pointed out, this is gamification of the real world. I didn't even think of "true heroes" being taken in that context. I was applying it from a game player perspective. Everyone is a hero in a video game. This allows you to be a hero in SuperTrip.

I'm just a one man team (aside from contractors) with some marketing experience but am still definitely learning so I need all the feedback I can get. Thanks :)
I think NATO would, under some circumstances, engage militarily, but not in this conflict. If, for example, a small non-NATO country with no nukes was to attack a member state, NATO would respond pretty quickly. In an alternate universe, if Ukraine (without any support from Russia) was to attack Poland, NATO would respond. But NATO is not strong enough to oppose Russia without major casualties. I believe that if all NATO member states were to at once attack Russia today, they would win but it would be a war, not a surgical strike. This is why we won't see that happening.
