Yours seems like anecdotal evidence.

I've had great experiences without reviews or guides, and also with places that aren't supposed to be good.

> It has been said that [1] Star Trek: The Next Generation was the last sci-fi hopeful.

two recent movies come to mind that seem essentially hopeful about the future.

Her - if you focus on the background here you'll notice all socioeconomic problems have been solved, all labor seems rewarding and creative.

Transcendence - in which humanity fails to embrace the salvation offered by technology.

both films culminate with a technological singularity. the future is positive and hopeful just as in Star Trek, but unlike Star Trek it won't be recognizably human.

Is this the free SSL announcement that CloudFlare said it was going to announce in October?
I tend to prefer the logistic modeling and I wish more sites would use that instead. Giving users the power to rank things from 1-5 or 1-10 is arbitrary and mostly worthless.

As an example, Rotten Tomatoes critic reviews. You get a wide variety of feedback but ultimately it's a Yes or No. The result is a percentage of Yes votes and I find their movie choices to be very reliable in terms of a "quality movie".

I think this sort of model could definitely work for restaurants.. or even on Amazon for a bigger platform example. The bottom line is it forces reviewers to decide...despite whatever asinine thing they can complain about, is it a yes or no?
I think there's also an appeal to certain types of businesses like restaurants when they don't act like corporate profit-maximizers.

You get to see all the credentials, passwords, balances, private information... of banks' customers. This is no doubt an improvement, you may even be more technically capable than the bank itself, but if someone breaches CloudFlare, they can still get everything they would want from hijacking a connection to a bank.
Conversely, this also illustrates a fallacy in many arguments against immigration. Suppose Mexicans/Indians/whoever are all (or predominantly) worse than Americans on whatever scale you choose to measure them. When you allow immigration you'll cause averages to go down in both countries by the converse of the mechanism you describe above.

Various people (Vinod Khosla, Steve Sailer) fallaciously use this statistical truism as an argument against immigration by people without a PhD.

The only way I can think of to steelman arguments like this are by combining Steve Sailer style nationalism with fairly extreme "redistribute all the things" liberalism.
Totally agree with the OP.

I'm not upgrading my Paperwhite V2 at the new price, I likely would have at the same price.
Backbone Two Way Binding
I have a friend who used to drink nothing but Diet Coke. He went through a few 2l bottles a day. According to that link (assuming it's the same in Europe), Diet Coke is 125mg per 8 ounces, so a 2l bottle is 125 / 8 x 70.4 = 1100mg. So if he drank four 2l bottles, that's over the daily limit.
That this has become an area companies are competing in is a good thing. The fact that it was necessary is sad but I don't blame the companies for that. When it is the area for competition it will naturally be the focus for marketing - providing that the marketing matches the reality and isn't misleading that is also a good thing so people can know where the privacy is and choose it.
Android phones also have 'Encrypt Phone' feature ( since Gingerbread ) but not on by default.
> I think you may be confusing your particular intellectual interests with intellectualism itself.

I'm trying to articulate a very fine point myself here, so I might be failing at expressing it.

I agree that Austen's works, or other genres other than sci-fi are not "intellectual" or don't "make you smarter". They all have their niches and good books of each genre have lots of intellectual gems. Sci-fi is good at this particular mathy kind of intellectualism, the one that gives you game theory, and economics, and cryptography, that helps you to understand the increasingly complex world. The kind that puts your System 2 (as in Kahneman's System 1 and 2 of your mind) on overdrive, because what is discussed is something we rarely have natural intuiton for.

It's of course not The Only Knowledge. But (I believe) it's getting more and more important nowadays, and as for something that feels so vital, it's getting a disproportionate amount of hate and dismissal among general population.
Using CloudFlare implicitly requires trusting CloudFlare.

With this, CloudFlare cannot impersonate you without your endpoint's active consent. As soon as you terminate the service that solves this puzzle for CF, they cannot impersonate you any longer.

So, yes, it is better. Maybe not "great" if your threat model includes CF getting 0wned, but definitely better than giving over your RSA key. ;)

This seems to only slightly reduce the threat to the banks.

Currently, if someone compromises the Cloudfare servers, they gain the bank's private key and can impersonate the bank until the bank revokes their keys.

With this solution, if someone compromises the Cloudfare servers, they can impersonate the bank by relaying the decryption of the premaster secret through Cloudfare's compromised servers back to the bank. They can do this until Cloudfare notices and closes the security hole.

It's not clear that the difference is all that great in reality, as most of the damage will be done in the first 24 hours of either compromise.
LINKS. IT'S 2014. DEAR ALL THAT'S HOLY IN JOURNALISM, WHERE ARE THE DAMNED LINKS?

Pardon the all caps. Shame on you, Richmond Standard. This is just absurd for 2014.

pesenti has the link to the yelp page, which I won't replicate, but here's the Botto Bistro FAQ page, which they went to the effort to take a screen shot of and cut into pieces and upload into their content system (which had to be at least five minutes total) but couldn't be bothered to link to (at about five seconds): http://www.bottobistro.com/FAQ.html
Sure. If I'm looking for basic/general information about a topic (Google-as-encyclopedia) I usually don't bother.

If I'm looking for more deep-dive / technical items, I'll try the Advanced reading level filter to weed out news items and intros.
Sure, that's another metric.
Smaller restaurants don't always have enough reviews to average away the bad ones, especially when people conscript their friends (like getting everybody in your Google+ circle to leave a one star review for a restaurant that didn't let your wear your Glass).

> It's kind of hard to explain why I love the Kindle so much.

For me it's a great example of a device that does one thing and does it well. Yes there are compromises (buying from Amazon is frictionless, from anyone else requires side loading for instance) but it what you want to do is read books, it does that really, really well - way better than any other device I've owned.
20 years in the future? It sounds pretty accurate to me right now.
It is a huge improvement. Nobody can impersonate the bank without the bank's cooperation. When cooperation ends, so does the ability to impersonate.

This is not the case with any mechanism that requires you to hand over your keys. Not even issuing a revocation effectively terminates use of a compromised key.
Some of these Yelp reviews are priceless! I like the self-referential ones (or is it self-anticipatory?) where people write predictive reviews based on their expected dislike of the restaurant in advance of actually visiting it. Also priceless is the one referenced in the article where the restaurant manager steals away the reviewer's girlfriend, so he goes and sulks there once a week in a dark corner booth.

Yelp's fundamental flaw is the fact that you can't tell real from fabricated reviews. You have to read with a skeptical eye and any overly gushing praise or overly nasty criticism of a particular business is suspect. I tend to trust the three and four star reviews over the 1's, 2's, and 5's.

Amazon at least has the advantage of identifying people who actually bought the product, and there is the option to comment on a review. It's not perfect but can be useful. Yelp's reviewers seem a bit under-vetted by comparison.
Also I can't figure out how to tell it that there's a missing format specifier in question 1 so it marked my answer as wrong. Missing items in code are impossible to click on.

On question 2 it gave me 60 seconds to visually deconstruct a statement, which is pretty unfair.

I gave up after that. I guess this thing exists to "show" you that you can't spot any errors and that you should just buy their tool?
I thought about aliasing true to width_is_auto/margin_right_is_auto, margin_left_is_auto, but sadly you don't seem to be able to use the aliases as patterns with my version of Rust.
I think that's just another form of Simpson's paradox.
Management is really hard, don't blame the faults of the bad managers on the good ones. I moved into a management role recently for the reasons described in the article: I wanted to get more done than I could do myself.

Also, management is a people oriented job. It's not surprising it involves a lot of talking.
But doesn't the singularity really mean 'everybody dies in the end'? Maybe something other than hopeful.

I always imagine how world will look in future. But whenever I start following any hypothesis, I found that everything which I am thinking is so limited what already exist may be its more of combination of things which are there and making them more better.

Here is our story behind ezcoupontracker.
1) We get lot of emails from stores with coupons/promotions, but loose track of those emails by next day because new set of emails from same store, because emails are sorted based on received date instead of coupon expiry date. Ezcoupontracker solves this. It separates promotions and coupons and sorts coupon emails based on expiry date instead of received date. Ezcoupontracker fixes broken Gmail promotions tab and helps both users as retails to have higher return from their effort (Save money)

2) All information from the email is summarized, so user don't need to open email to learn more about what it is and our Android app will be handy at checkout, save time

3) Users don't need to share their personal email ID with stores (which most of the cases will be sold to spam), they can use Ezcoupontracker emailID which has less personal information, users privacy is protected.

We have our Android app (Version1) in Playstore. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ezcoupon.a...

I wonder what Yelp's recourse is for buying reviews? If it's de-listing, well, that's exactly what the restaurant wants.

It would be interesting to see whether Yelp decides to exercise the power to change someone's one-star review into a four-star review based on its content.
I wish this was on iOS, I've been looking for this exact solution and would love to try it out. I think you have hit a very under served market here. Well done, I'll watch for a iOS release.
Yes, I've seen designs for this sort of thing. It's super scary, because you're essentially offering a decryption oracle with your private key to the Internet. It's authenticated, sure, but even still you've actually increased your attack surface.

A compromise of an SSL terminator, or the ability to pretend to be one, gives the same capabilities as a compromise of the oracle itself. The advantage you get is that only the last requires you to revoke and reissue the key when you figure it out(in other cases, simply unplug the oracle). That's relatively minor most of the time: an open decryption oracle is already hair-on-fire levels of bad.

I can see why some organizations (for whom this process is unusually expensive) might be interested, but it probably isn't beneficial most of the time.
For code it's ok for snippets and fairly small examples but I'd use a tablet if possible for longer examples or diagrams.
tmanderson, thank you for your comment and support. And, obviously, I agree 100%!

Martin Buber wrote that the Israel/Palestine conflict supports the polticial class; so long as there is a siege mentality, the Israeli government is not held to account and hamas can buy legitimacy by firing missiles.

Similarly in the united States, the Democrats and Republicans buy legitimacy by opposing the other party on a handful of issues (guns, abortion, etc.) They never need to pass legislation because they blame the other guys.
Wouldn't it be a better business model to charge businesses to opt-out? Doing this would provide them with more runway to come up with a sustainable business model to leverage and monetize their crowdsourced reviews in a creative manner. Seems like it would be more in line with their values, too.

EDIT: /s
All other technicalities aside it's rather interesting. From an HSM perspective it either makes that hardware now very useful or very useless.

Think of a large organization - you've been there (or not), there are 30 internal applications with self-signed certificates. Fail. The organization had purchased an HSM, but never really got it deployed because - well, that was too complex and it didn't integrate well with 3rd party network hardware and failed miserably in your *nix web stack.

This could be interesting - and I'm not commenting with regard to the efficacy or security concerns around this, but mainly the workflow simplicity it provides to large organizations who end up in self-signed-cert-hell because HSMs don't interoperate easily in a lot of use cases.

But to my original statement - this is a very good thing or a very bad thing for Thales and the like. The only requirement for an actually certified HSM, really, is certification against some hardware and software standard you have a checkbox to fulfill. Beyond that this would be a killer in the middleground for those who want an HSM like functionality but don't have any requirements to meet other than housing a secure segment where key management can be done in a more controlled manner.
No problem, man. It's a shame that HN doesn't have two-way binding on these comment forms. I have a hard time visualizing what my comment will look like. Hope it looks good!
Well, if you are familiar with SVG and you just want to write at this level of abstraction, yes. But of course, this is only the lowest level API.

The actual purpose of library is to provide with more complex shapes and graphs, while still leaving you the possibility to write a path by hand, should the need arise.

Moreover, consider that even if you stay wit the lowest level API, the data you have may be dynamic, so that it may be easier to call a function with parameters at every frame, rather than hand-concatenating string (although this use is admittedly rather limited)
The Greatest Animal War
It's not quite milliseconds. According to https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/1302613-ios-security... they've increased the iteration count somewhat:

“The passcode is entangled with the device’s UID, so brute-force attempts must be
performed on the device under attack. A large iteration count is used to make each
attempt slower. The iteration count is calibrated so that one attempt takes approximately
80 milliseconds.”

This is still an argument for using a longer length code, however, since a simple 4-digit number would only take 800 seconds to brute force.

They are what they are. I think the mistake is imagining people care about the Yelp rating. Do folks look at the number, or read the reviews? Most of us can spot a rankled-reviewer-rant and ignore it. Sensitive restaurant owners are getting upset over very little.

I bought one model (4th gen I think) because it was much lighter and I noticed my wrist got a bit sore during long reading stretches. I bought the first model with the touchscreen because navigating the store on the device was annoying with the directional keypad thing. I bought the Paperwhite because of the built-in light - I mostly read in bed so this was a big win.

I like having at least one "backup" to lend to family members on vacation. I also bought a cheap waterproof-case (it's essentially a double-sealed Ziploc bag) so I just toss an older model in that and float around the pool and read worry free.

I also like supporting the product line with my wallet - and it's fun to get new toys every year or two :)

Rust uses OCaml's algorithm for pattern matching, which is basically a dynamic programming algorithm that minimizes the number of branches. (It's really clever, worth reading about if you're bored.) The Rust compiler also contains heuristics to decide whether to use a jump table (LLVM switch statement) or not.
I know that's what the Catalan government says, but is it actually the case? Wikipedia says

return -1;
}

if ((s != NULL) && !SSL_in_init(s))
return(s->method->ssl_shutdown(s));
else
return(1);
}
....
}

so of course the first thing I noticed was the mismatched braces after the 'else'. The 'intended' error was elsewhere (and I agree with it) but to say that the brace isn't an error is a bit much given the sorts of problems that PVS is normally finding.
