The problem that Keyless SSL is solving is the need for a client to hand over their SSL keys to Cloudflare in order to use Cloudflare's services.

It eliminates the risk that the key will be stolen from Cloudflare and used by the Bad Guys to set up a fake website to steal everyone's credentials.

You might not perceive how big the benefit of this is but you're not the target market. I used to handle the SSL encryption keys (and server security) for the online trading systems of a global investment bank. In my opinion, not having to hand over the SSL keys removes a significant obstacle to banks using Cloudflare's services.

Yes, Cloudflare will still be able to read and, in theory alter, the data flowing between the end-user and the client (I would not be surprised if a future enhancement to this mechanism enabled some kind of hashing/signing of the HTTP requests/responses, such that any attempt by Cloudflare to alter the content would be obvious) but that is an entirely different risk than the risk of your SSL keys being stolen.
I think that's a sort of apples and pears type of comparison.

Tessarect can be used everywhere, and is used dominantly on open platforms. This is a offering from Microsoft to be used on their platform only.

They may both be good, but they have widely different platform targets.
What is your strategy to acquire the "world's top" freelancers and how do you filter out the average or worse ones?
In some ways what you propose sounds even scarier, i.e. figure out the best way to look inside SSL encrypted data without having the key.

But in terms of privacy and trust, CloudFlare is already in the position of terminating SSL connections and establishing new ones to origin web servers. We take the protection of that data and the associated keys very seriously. There will be more announcements over the coming weeks and months about how we secure things.
This is a very interesting idea and has some good potential for social change. So much energy, so misplaced. As a scandinavian my first thought is: Don't Americans realize that there might a point where it is cheaper to provide (or more exactly, force) better education and social security on those at risk, than increasing the police force and incarceration rates?

There is something that is not quite right with this narrative that Gladwell spins though. His past examples are about the winners of their era. On the other hand, the contemporary examples are losers who end up killed and squeezed by the police. Presumably, in the earlier mafia era there were also plenty of losers, we just don't hear about them.

The main thesis which I think is sound, though, is that innovation often (usually) involves a certain amount of breaking societal norms (which includes laws). It can take violent forms, such as the mafia, but also less violent law-breaking is often present. Think Napster, as a clear example but why not include Uber and AirBnB as well? Often innovation is not just about new technology, but rather re-negotiating social contracts. For this reason, when technological or social change introduces new economic opportunity, often it becomes populated by people who are willing to violate laws. I think as societies, we should try to figure out how to better utilize the violent and rebellious behvior of people, while limiting the detrimental effects. The same adrenaline addict might kill himself and a few pedestrian on a motorcycle when evading the police, but could instead be allowed to risk his life in some space exploration program or why not a technology startup.
Maybe, but I would wait to hear from a physicist. When I was a student, one of the most important papers one year was about a dark matter (WIMP) detector that failed to find anything, thus "trimming the parameter space" for what the particles might look like. If this is a genuine clue, it's probably very exciting.
Rarely social drinker, except when it comes to a red wine with a first class dinner.
Interesting read. Still no information how it compares to other HSM implementations however, and why they didn't use the more well studied PKCS protocols in theirs.

I would imagine the problem was more with existing implementations rather than some problems with HSMs per se, as they probably have much larger latency than you normally have so things like blocking reads start to matter.
The Keyless SSL server is open source and available on GitHub - https://github.com/cloudflare/keyless - although I'm wondering if its dependence on OpenSSL was a good choice.

We use a wide array of indicators and rank freelancers according to their Behance, Dribbble, Github, and other portfolios. Then we will admit those with the highest scores. Although we understand that those are not the only top freelancers, but those are the ones with verifiable track records.
Right, it's the "pretty much" part that's a little disturbing. Would be nice to know why this caveat is always thrown around.
Ah you mean asm.js? :D
What did you use to generate pyccv? (It looks automatically generated)

Does it still work with an up-to-date ccv?
I found that as soon as you have a meaningful task, you won't struggle with motivation any more. I've always tried to find side-projects to work on, with or without income doesn't really matter, as long as you're being part of something that's more than just "time-filler".
For example for some time I was super interested in LED-stuff, so I got involved in an LED forum/community and all of a sudden I was super motivated to learn Arduino-Programming, to help other people in the forum as well as being able to present them my work. This interest later even got me some money on the side when I did some jobs for a garage (install LED lighting in cars).
Currently I switched from Arduino to RbPi-Home Automation, but the principle still applies. Find a project that you're really interested in, try to get involved with other people with similar interest and you'll see that motivation will keep up.
I don't necessarily mean the states becoming EU members in their own right, but rather the EU using them as tools to pressure UK gov into making certain decisions. With more referendums becoming an increasing threat to Westminster, thus weakening it.
IMO, these are exceptions.

Osama did have a lot to lose, but his supporters didn't.
This isn't an Android problem, it's an industry problem. Just like Samsung, Apple relies on a huge amount of marketing to push its phones, and at some point that's going to outweigh its profits.

But it's a problem only for the manufacturers, and it's the same problem as many industries - commoditization. Smartphones are becoming a commodity, just like everything, and they'll be made cheaply in volume by no-name manufacturers with razor-thin margins. Which is great for customers!
Seriously? Most founders' ideas hinge on their hardware product looking sleek? This is progress?
Well, we should find out as NFC and biometric authenticated payments (Apple Pay and TouchID) are about to hit the mainstream US consumer market in a big way. I'll certainly think twice about shopping at any big box retailer (ie the bigger targets, no pun intended) that doesn't let me pay that way.
I wouldn't say I'm a heavy drinker since I mostly drink one beer per day but since it's the only option for me, I guess I'm a heavy drinker according to this poll.
I use Concur as part of my job.

It is stunningly, stupefyingly awful.

However, it is popular with the kind of hyperglobocom companies that SAP deals with.

I can submit expense reports (which take about as long as it would to scratch them into clay tablets) and I can book travel. That's about it.

I imagine that -- for the anonymous finance dept folk who delight in taking weeks to examine my reports while I am legally on the hook for the credit card bill -- it is very featuresome and powerful. As an end user I hate it with the power of a thousand exploding suns.

The mobile app for capturing receipts makes it slightly, slightly more tolerable. Slightly. But half the time it doesn't work. And I still have to go into Concur and manually line up about half of the receipts anyway.

In conclusion, somebody please put these guys out of business with a post-1998 web app. You will be both billionaires and heroes.
Probably not, as that is the screen that users will spend the least amount of time on! :)
I suspect some of the problems that many people have with OO tend originate from the C++ and relate languages such as Java. These languages aren't really OO in the Alan Kay sense of the term[1]. They are languages with classes, polymorphic inheritance, and object style binding of methods to structures, but they do not feature "everything is an object with message passing".

By comparison, you really see a lot more of the utility of OO in languages smalltalk or possibly ruby[2] where you can extend everything. I know tend to write my ruby (despite it being a multi-paradigm language) in a manner that you describe: FP style with objects hiding the details.

Of course, all of these languages have their strengths and weaknesses and OO isn't useful for everything. I just think OO has gotten a bit of a bad reputation from some of the languages that chose to label themselves OO even when their implementation was only superficial. This bad reputation may lead to dismissal of the whole idea, producing the false dichotomy you mention.

Incidentally, the lack of strict OO (or any language style) in ruby is what I really like about the language. You can be strict OO if you want, but you can also use classic (C-style) imperative programing when it makes more sense (or FP, or whatever).

[2] Regrettably, OCaml is one of those languages that is still in my "looks interesting, I should learn that" queue, so I cannot speak to how it implements OO.
There is something like that in biology:

...but getting sufficient widespread adoption is the big problem. And given that peer reviewers are not particularly effective in improving paper quality except in the most egregious cases, we should wonder whether an entirely different model is more appropriate.
Well I know I can't be the only person who had to look this up:

>Teetotalism refers to either the practice of, or the promotion of, complete personal abstinence from alcoholic beverages.

I mean, I kind of inferred, but this is my first time hearing the term.

Anyway, I only drink on special occasion or when I go out to a fancy restaurant. Other than that it's copious amounts of marijuana.
Where's - doesn't drink at all on the weekdays, and then drinks extremely heavily on the weekend? Best burnout mitigator.
As a beer-drinker, and lover of stouts and porters... I can't drink Guinness. It's dreadful.
I will say, one time a few years back I needed to get a receipt from a purchase more than 60 days old. I called the local store, and she said "just give me your credit card number and I can lookup your transactions". With just my card number she was able to see every transaction I made with that card (and find my purchase I needed the receipt for). So (at least 3-4 years ago) it was being stored somewhere searchable by people in the back office.
I'm also recovering from a depression which lasted for quite a while. It absolutely sucks because you think you're worthless, nobody loves you, you can't get anything right and the best would be if you just wouldn't exist anymore.

And on top of that you isolate yourself. I know how hard it was to ask for help therefore I want to show you some things which helped me:

- Realize that your depression is lying to you. It doesn't tell the truth. It makes you believe that something is logical even if it isn't.

- Read 'Feeling Good' - terrible title, great book. It will probably work better than average on the average HN reader because it takes a 'rational' approach to depression (cognitive-behavioral therapy). It helps you to recognize destructive thought patterns and how to deal with them.

- Garbage in, garbage out. What works for computers also works for your body. Yeah, you're a geek but you can eat some vegs instead of the 500th pizza. Also working out (or other sports) are pretty great.

- Long term: Therapy which tries to work on the root cause and not just at symptoms.

Finally, here's a rather extensive list with lectures, books, exercises, etc. which help dealing with depression [1]. Back when I was fed up with feeling crap I created a spreadsheet with the 8 activities and tracked those every day.

Note: Every person seem to react to differently. I read about people who improved a lot by meditating - on the other hand, it didn't work for me.

So, try some things out and don't give up. You can beat that liar in your head.

Wish there was a category for "Former drinker, now teetotaller". There are only so many times you can ask your friends to clean up your puke, talk the cops out of arresting you, and drag your passed-out-ass back to the hotel before you wake up and say, "maybe I shouldn't drink anymore"
Why is MattOhio12's post [dead]? I'm guessing it's because his early submissions didn't go over well.

I think if dead comments are upvoted by people with accounts in good standing and showdead on, they should be un-dead-ed.
That seems like we need a follow up poll then - do you smoke weed! The discussion resulting from "do you smoke weed but not drink alcohol" might be interesting too?
Yeah, the startup culture "meritocracy" - that is, as long as you don't completely suck, your position is proportional to your activity on local meetups, particularly the ones frequented by investors.

I used to drink daily.

I went out with some friends that are super-hardcore drinkers and drank too much. Took the train home, but it was rerouted, so I grabbed a Citibike. Hit a pothole. Went over the handlebars. Landed on my head and may have broken a rib. Laid down on the street for a while, and remember thinking that this was probably the end. (I realized a while later that people say they feel really warm when they're dying, but I was really cold. Returned the Citibike and went home.)

Anyway, I don't drink much anymore. I do brew my own beer, though! (And drink that on an occasional basis.)

Don't Drink:
1) My dad turned mean when he had a little to drink. 2) My brother was a jerk after two beers. 3) I don't want to be a drink. 4) My friends were idiots after they drank and got in SO MUCH trouble. 5) I know that 10%-20% of all deaths are due primarily due to alcohol (WHO) and the world would be a better place without it. 6) I like soda to much to ruin my chances to drink them delicious calories with that gross stuff.

Don't ever miss drinking and when I am around drinking I am always feeling like I made the right decision.
I'm a social drinker, but I'm not very social. (Male, 20s, London UK)
what are you talking about?
it is always about the results. OCR is a tool and it doesn't matter if runs on windows, linux, osx, phone, tablet, watch.
if this microsoft OCR produce better results than terrassect, than people will simply create service running on windows (yes even on windows phone) and some kind of API to talk to it.
the questions remains the same:
does it produce better results than terrassect?

so far, this microsoft OCR is just bunch of words without any prove that it actually works, what so ever.
show me some pictures or videos of results.
The Labour party was corrupted by Blair. Its almost as right wing as the Conservatives. Inequality continued to grow for those 13 years.
I perform 90 proof alcohol enemas on myself(every hour). Does that make me a 'heavy drinker' since I don't take the liquid orally?
For a long time I didn't much care about it: I had a single drink once a week, maybe went out with buddies on Friday nights and got pretty drunk.

I drank a good bit during my thirties, in the way of so many 9-5 workers. Then got a little too exuberant around the turn towards forty, probably a combination of "Hey, so this is how it feels to feel good!" + self-medicating for the lingering effects of really bad childhood trauma.

I'm dry as a bone from here on out. Once I got used to the feeling, and once I got into the swing of studying and exercising and fathering, I've increasingly seen the stuff as being generally more treacherous than is commonly assumed. I don't know many people older than 30 who drink regularly and are actually drinking in anything resembling true moderation. And it shows, increasingly as one grows older.

So I actually feel kinda lucky to have figured it out (the semi-hard way) instead of sinking into a life of physical indolence and endless rationalizations. There are a LOT of people who are somewhere in the middle chunk of the spectrum we call "alcoholism", a lot of people with really good jobs who would be a LOT happier right now if they didn't have to obey the rule about "never before 7". It's just the nature of the thing: it tends to make itself more and more important as time goes by.
Would be interesting to see a poll on smoking weed, I would say a lot of people who do smoke weed would not drink alcohol that often, if none at all.
My guess is he meant better at actually OCR'ing text, not better for implementation.
Your frustrations are because you are not their target customer. They really don't care for individuals trying out their software the first time. They certainly don't anticipate selling it to you without you talking to their sales team.
I haven't asked my friends to do any of those for >5 years, but I'll still have five or six drinks several times a month. It's very possible to learn where your limits are, and use alcohol to enhance your socialising without having to hit the bad stuff you've described.
Tee-total. Male 30 living in London, UK. I used to drink in the teens but gave up at 18. Not had a drink since.

6 Reasons Why a Little Glass of Wine Each Day May Do You Good
Non-alcoholic beer can be great – if the number one goal of whoever made it was not to just imitate beer with alcohol as best as possible.

Brewers that don’t approach the problem of leaving the alcohol out of the beer that way end up with what’s basically a somewhat different kind of drink, but one that is also enjoyable on its own merits.
Why leave it at that? Why not ask everyone if they do amphetamine daily or just once a week?
10 things that will disappear in modern hotel management
I suspect this varies a lot between regions. In the UK, I drinking one or 2 pints of beer in a pub is quite a common social activity; same in the states?
Usually in polls like this drinking without a stipulation of "just the one" infers "more than a unit or two of alcohol". It is rare that when I drink I just have the one.

Of course any set of definitions like this is going to put some in what they consider the wrong category. I drink a couple times a week, and avoid drinking at home unless I have guests around for that or a related event, but when I do drink there tends to be quite a bit involved. By the definitions here I'm a "regular drinker" but I think I better fit in the "heavy" category.
As a former drinker (mostly beer), who now partakes an an occasional non-alcoholic beer. I can say that most NA beer does indeed suck, but not all of them. Erdinger and Buckler are pretty good and even O'Douls Amber is not too bad.
Since this type of analysis is based on (but does not directly use) actual location data of actual handsets assumed to carried by known criminals, how long before this kind of work results in those individuals being tracked and watched "just in case" they might rob someone?

Mobile phone location data is already used after crimes are committed. Computing power, network bandwidth is increasing as is the availability of data.

Not long is my guess - if not already, at least in prototype form.
Hehe, you owe me some karma ;)
Just kidding, thanks for the poll, I voted for the teetotalers, surprised how many they are.
Same boat. I didn't put myself in the heavy drinker category, but I do usually have one with lunch or dinner (rarely both) and the occasional glass of wine after dinner.
A bit of a social drinker, thou occasionally a quiet whiskey by myself. But when I do drink it tends to be quite heavy at that sitting.
I'm not quite following how having just enough insights about the encrypted data to perform DDOS mitigation would be scarier than having full read- and write access to the cleartext. Thanks for the responses though, and definitely looking forward to those blogs.
Every Friday and Saturday I usually have a mad one, then I don't touch it during the drop. I'm aware alcohol's the same as nicotine, it's an addictive substance, I know that's why I drink. I'd like to one day be teetotal. I did go 2 month previously as I worry about what it's doing to my health, and I have to admit drinking isn't the only factor that comes into these two nights a week... but I found my friends stopped coming to visit because they thought they couldn't drink. I started to become a social pariah, I used to go out skateboarding at 2am alone. It was kind of awesome, but I felt like I was missing out on my friends activities etc.
I'll join and complain about the lack of a "former teetotaller, now drinker" option.

Also, I want a "Formerly heavy drinker, then teetotaller, now social drinker, but afraid of slipping into heavy drinking again so considering simply avoiding all that by teetotalling again" option. I bet it'd get more than a few votes.
Ahem

"After 1971 he also took amphetamines, despite the concern of his friends, one of whom (Ron Graham) bet him $500 that he could not stop taking the drug for a month.[17] Erdős won the bet, but complained that during his abstinence, mathematics had been set back by a month: "Before, when I looked at a piece of blank paper my mind was filled with ideas. Now all I see is a blank piece of paper." After he won the bet, he promptly resumed his amphetamine use."
