> The research has not been published in a peer-reviewed scientific journal, meaning the claims cannot be independently verified or the methodology scrutinised.

Why? It's still written somewhere.
Not really. The existence of God is a given. Science does nothing to prove or disprove His existence and probably never will. We are constrained after all by the limits of our universe. The purpose of science then is to help reveal the meaning of the Qur'an, (and the other religious texts) and by extension man's purpose.

So if we now know, for example, that the world was not created in 7 days, then what is it actually that the creation myth is trying to tell us? Moslem scientists were not afraid of these contradictions, they looked forward to them.

I'd say that what you're describing is a relatively recent western phenomenon. At some point western Christians fell into the trap of interpreting the Bible literally, and I think it's become an unwelcome distraction in recent times.

just for the record there are some serious critics of oauth
http://hueniverse.com/2012/07/26/oauth-2-0-and-the-road-to-h...

I find jwt a tinge too complex. On the other hand no solution for unified AAA exists on web that makes sense: HTTP is a stateless protocol.

I sometimes wish people wake up from the Oauth insanity and realize using a statefull TCP connection would drop the sessions problem.

Why use stateful protocol (Oauth) for a stateless protocol (HTTP) over a statefull protocol (TCP)?

Emitting token lasting more than 1 hour impersonating the user in an hostile environment seems quite a lot of risk (mathematically speaking)

I must be a grumpy old dev, but I kind of hear the oauth sweet song of easy secure cross security token like sirens trying to seduce me for crashing my ship on the havoc of security.

Security is a mine field. One step out of the «right way» and boom, it does not work while burning 25% of your CPU power, an hidden tax.

Oauth protocol is a multi-dimensionnal maze designed under LSD at my opinion, and I kind of feel it unsafe to take.

How he will get there is another matter, he'll have to cross at least two other countries and we've already seen a plane ordered down in order for it to be searched. Whether some nation in the flightpath from Russia to Switzerland would have the required fortitude to do that to a plane owned by the Swiss government is another matter entirely.

Pissing off Bolivia is probably a mild '2' in international relationships, pissing off the Swiss would likely rate a '9' or so.

To start with, OAuth is an authoriation protocol and JWT is a token format (a signed and/or encrypted piece of data). So they are orthogonal.

The OAuth protocol doesn't specify which token format to use. Normally people have been using an "opaque" token, this is a token that doesn't have any meaning nor content but the meaning is stored somewhere. Here is an example of a table storing tokens and the scopes (permissions) associated to them. Every time an API Call is made, you would have to check against this table to see if the token sent in the Authorization header has the necessary scopes to call the API.

token | scopes
oiajoeihfe9jh9283n | read.userinfo, post.friends
uhuernvmiwmwo38h2g | read.userinfo

If you would use JWT you wouldn't have to store that information because it would be part of the token (i.e. stateless)

This would be a counterpart JWT

}

Google now changed their Authentication protocol to use OpenID Connect [1], which is a layer on top of OAuth plus a JSON Web Token. The thing about OpenID Connect which makes it useful for Authentication is that you can verify that the token (JWT) has been issued for your application (and not be used by another application) which was something the OAuth was lacking and a common vulnerability [2].

Once you change references frames to the center of mass, two bodies that are gravitationally bound are always following ellipses. It looks like this in the case where they have equal mass:

It's quite misleading to have a slide showing Worldwide market share by platform with iOS at 12% and then have the following slides show US statistics (where iOS is at 42% (http://www.macrumors.com/2014/09/05/apple-comscore-july-numb... )). IMHO the presenter should've stuck to worldwide stats or US stats throughout.
Agree on the cost of equipment. It's especially evident in hand tool community where 150+ year old equipment is going strong after some minor TLC.

I've recently gotten into woodworking as a hobby in a large way. Space is a luxury and if you're serious about woodworking you can find a way no matter what. I moved from a house with a three car garage completely devoted to woodworking into a downtown two bedroom apartment recently and went from a fairly complete power tool shop to a completely hand tool one that's behind my desk (I work from home)

As far as saw stops firing randomly... I'm guessing it's got more to do with the moisture of the wood the user is using than a technical flaw. You can touch the wood to the blade prior to turning the saw on and there's an indicator that will tell you if the saw would trip. I do agree though on them not being a replacement for best practices. I would be surprised to see any kind of teaching institution w/o one though.

Yeah but the iPad didn't come out with the processor of the original iPhone.
anecdotal of course, however my parents (late 70s) usage of digital video can be traced to the ease of access provided through their iPads I gave them. I never set out to have them use them beyond browsing and mail, but even seniors are curious and next thing I find is an iPad with word games and links to various teaching sites, or in my dad's case - woodworking. The local print newspaper even directs subscribers to its own web site which is chock full of video.

[Presenter here] Not sure how it would be misleading when the region is clearly stated in respective slides and in the linked resources. Naturally it's interesting to talk both about global trends and more local ones (like in the US).

That said, for obvious reasons, most research is being done in the US. I'd love to see more surveys and studies target more markets and globally.
Ask HN: Who is in charge of Google Reviews?
It's extremely hard to request a review of a Business on Google Plus. There is no option to submit a review on Mobile Google+. I can't send any link to a customer, because if she don't have Google Maps or she uses iPhone, she never be able to provide a review.

The BBC is only neutral where it serves their best interests. For example, good luck finding any coverage of the opposition to the TV tax that funds them.

Also worth noting that you can be politically 'neutral' while still having unbalanced levels of coverage or using weasel words. While the BBC certainly does better than most organisations that claim to be neutral, there is still a tendency to oppose the incumbent government as well as a slight lean to the left politically.

mitochondrial dna haplogroups are not sufficiently unique to be particularly reliable for this purpose. The entire genome is only 16kb.

Is the advantage of using this instead of basic auth and HTTPS that you don't have to use basic auth and HTTPS? (Or if not basic auth, an authenticated session cookie over HTTPS.) I've seen many people write their own system to avoid implementing HTTPS. Which, as much as installing certs is expensive and complicated (especially keeping track of expiration) should probably be done for all web sites for other privacy and security reasons.

Or is this for use in URL-passed data (like email links?) If so, is this better than including a token as a key to a one-time, limited-time activity stored on the server?

Sure, but do you recognize a beauty that's actually there, or you merely recognize what you were taught to recognize? (e.g you respond with a Pavlovian reflex to things you were conditioned to see as beauty).
> I also disagree with another commenter who says that the later writing clears up this issue. The point about 33% not being a fair assumption isn't addressed head on in the way that I think matters most.

How would you want it addressed? A large part of the article is exactly about how the - to some - "intuitive" idea of 3 evenly split categories is incorrect. E.g. later in the article he writes:

"It turns out, we weren’t supposed to be reasoning ‘there are 3 categories of possible relationships, so we start with 33%’, but rather: ‘there is only one explanation “A causes B”, only one explanation “B causes A”, but there are many explanations of the form “C1 causes A and B”, “C2 causes A and B”, “C3 causes A and B”…’, and the more nodes in a field’s true causal networks (psychology or biology vs physics, say), the bigger this last category will be."

Presumably this is why two people separately assumed you did not read the whole article.

In my case, my phone is the only device should report location data, and the times on either side of the teleport were correct, it just seems to be missing the trip itself. As far as removing the points, there seem to be plenty of points at the a similar time and location, so removing either one wouldn't be an issue. However it's currently one continuous track, and removing a point would break that.

My idea was to use speed as the constraint, give the points on both sides a label, and have the line between them be transparent. I just need to figure out that last part.

I know Google does the same, but it's not an example to follow.

When Google decides that clicks were invalid, they remove the commission and also remove the charges from the advertiser. The fact that they do this, and aggressively fight click fraud, is one of the major reasons they have so little real competition.

In the case of Amazon I'm not sure how they could do that...do they cancel all of the orders under the old agreement? Give customers their money back and ask for stuff to be shipped back?

As an aside, Amazon's Affiliate program is one of the big vehicles of noise on the net. When authors suddenly decide to write a big blog entry about the best headphones, or the best coffee grinders, etc, invariably you find that it was 100% affiliate fee driven. That might seem like a "well they might as well capitalize", but the corrupting influence of peddling commission goods is unavoidable.

This article from Timex claims the USA total sales market for watches, more or less pre-cellphone, was 1.2 billion, because timex had $400M revenue and 1/3 of the USA market.

http://www.answers.com/topic/timex-corporation

This article claims the 2013 sales for Rolex were $4.5B and they had ten percent of the world market for mfgrs, and the USA is ten percent of the world market for sales, so a comparable USA total sales market is perhaps "four billion" to one sig fig or less.

http://www.statisticbrain.com/wrist-watch-industry-statistic...

So the sales in the USA have monetarily in nominal dollars roughly tripled. This is probably flat when corrected for inflation. On one hand minimum wage has gone from $3.80 to $7.25 which is barely doubling, then again the standard of living has inploded since then because virtually all expenses have increased at a far faster rate. Still to less than one sig fig I'd say the market is vaguely flat when adjusted for inflation.

Then again I read this comment and went to the deli to pick up a breakfast and my banana, strawberry, and tea observations of people in line ahead and behind me, and the employees, and customers at tables, were 17 people, one rather gaudy gold mechanical watch, one cheap digital watch, three bracelets (one looking like a medical alert bracelet). Two women furiously texting away (perhaps to each other). One woman listening to music on her iphone with the iconic white earbuds. One guy talking on unidentified smartphone.

My guess, looking at sales figures, is the market has dried up for anyone not willing to spend $2000+ on a watch, has exploded as conspicuous consumption for $2K+. The Chinese only made 600M disposable watches for the 7.1 billion of the world population who aren't 1%ers, and I suppose thats believable, if 99%er watches are value engineered to only last a year or two for $10 at walmart, I'd estimate I'd only see a couple in my trip to the deli, and thats what I saw.

If they could sell to 10% of the smartphone population, which admittedly sounds optimistic for a wristwatch with a 3 hour battery life, then their theoretical sales could be severely market disrupting. I'm not seeing it happen.

To some extent wristwatches are another cultural trap. Only about 1 in 40 people watch "Survivor" despite it being freely aired, yet its supposedly our defining influential cultural entertainment. So wristwatches could very well "define our culture", at least as we currently define culture, even if only low single digits of the population purchase them. A play on words due to multiple definitions is "don't have to be popular, to be popular". Or rephrased almost noone needs to wear wristwatches for us to describe ourselves as "everyone" wears wristwatches.
