I knew someone would mention that, and I almost put a note about it in my post. I think all that does is disconnect the data pins, so it wouldn't be too useful when you are attaching a flash drive to your computer.
just to clarify - 12" x 12" (dimensions of the artwork) will result in a mat opening of 11.5" x 11.5" because the mat has to overlap the print by 1/4" on each side to hold it in place. Trying to make this element as clear as possible, all of this feedback very useful.
Suddenly the scenes in the movie Hellfighters (1968) (starring John Wayne) don't seem so dangerous or exciting. Somebody should do a reboot, but using a nuclear bomb instead of TNT.

(Although in terms of safety I suppose I'd much rather be on team nuclear than team TNT. But Hollywood can add the requisite tension and danger.)
Facebook Promises a Deeper Review of Its User Research
I don't know about Canada, but the UK could do it because those lines were originally owned by a government corporation. The U.S. did do something similar for DSL, but that was a disaster because it removed any incentive phone companies had to invest in their DSL infrastructure.
Redirect Website Using JavaScript Timer Function
This past weekend I was looking to add a document database to a side project and I never considered using MongoDB. Maybe it has improved over the past few years, but when I last played with it I found it flaky and unreliable. I eventually found RethinkDB and think I'm going to go with that.

That said, MongoDB is still plenty popular [1]. It's just no longer the "hot new thing" that gets 5–10 posts a day on HN.

> For the time being, we have quarantined the Medellín data center
> and disabled connectivity with Internexa.

Does this imply that it was CloudFlare's trust of Internexa's announced BGP routing which caused or contributed to the outage? Did CloudFlare redirect traffic that it should have handled internally to Internexa? If so, isn't it more appropriate for CloudFlare to prioritize its own routes over those claimed by external parties?

I would have anticipated that Internexa's routes would have affected routing by third party networks (eg: Internexa claims it handles traffic for CloudFlare's IP range, and Level3 redirects all that traffic to them) which isn't something that CloudFlare can do much about other than notify Internexa and those third parties of the problem and hope they resolve it themselves. Having not worked directly with BGP, I'm sure I'm misunderstanding something and would appreciate any additional clarification.

edit: Incidentally, this is the kind of scenario which prevented me from using CloudFlare recently. I wanted to only CNAME our production web site to CF's systems which is something they only offer with the $200/month Business plan and not with the $20/month Pro plan. Otherwise, you have to delegate ALL of your DNS for the entire domain to CloudFlare. As one user in the comments says in response to how someone could have worked around the outage:

"That [bypassing CF] would be a good idea, except cloudflare.com
and control panel was inaccessible during this period too, so not
sure how this could have been done..."

I really hope they revisit their policy of not allowing Pro customers to CNAME individual sites to CloudFlare. Putting all your eggs into CloudFlare's basket limits the ability to mitigate around these kinds of issues.
Ways for Improving Your Product’s User Experience
That was probably done as an application that ran from the USB stick, similar to the way AUTOEXEC.BAT works on Windows (it sees it on mount, it runs it).

I think the exploit version occurs at a lower level down in the bios of the stick, where it's far more insidious.
Isn't that exactly what that is? The frame itself is 13x13 but the opening is 12x12.
Easy, because they have the knowledge and experience you need for the job.

Right but there are tons of people who have that - it's worth waiting for someone with both that and the cultural fit. As was mentioned in one of the lectures on "How to start a startup" Airbnb took 5 months to find their first hire for exactly this purpose.
+1. Mac/Safari 7.1, if that helps.

Yep, this is just QR codes made better. It's similar to pet microchip implants too. The only app you need is one that knows how to listen for the signals and point you in the right direction when you choose to visit one.
Interesting but in a bit of irony I don't need that at all. I use a Windows Phone 8 device. Targeting it for malware is a waste of time.
You are getting downvoted without explanation here. It's a reasonable thought except for a few things. First of which is our space launch and delivery systems aren't 100% reliable. Even one failure means nuclear debris spread over a wide distance - something that would be very difficult to recover from.

I couldn't find a good document from a quick googling, but this was high on the list: http://www.spacelaunchreport.com/log2013.html 81 launches and 3 failures. I don't particularly like those odds.
Distributed systems that span tens and hundreds of thousands of nodes and provide excellent reliability characteristics. A multi-year C++ project being built by a small/medium sized team. Those are just a few example (stated deliberately vague due to NDAs, etc...)
"Proprietary" means "if you ever have issues with that that our support won't be able to solve for you in meaningful time span, you're basically out of luck".

We're running a gateway router on Vyatta/VyOS and with every single hardware and software change we had some issues. Most were relatively minor (like default settings being not appropriate for our workload), already documented/solved by someone on the 'net. Some had required reading source code and debugging/profiling to see what goes on. Must also admit, some were beyond my understanding and were mysteriously solved with some shamanism and voodoo magic (like randomly tinkering with firmware and driver version combos).
thanks for taking a look, I will look into the fractions change.

I'm guessing that the competitor was not using materials that were as quality or archival. I'm also trying to differentiate on the UI/UX. Most of the sites I've tried (and I've tried a lot) take dozens of steps to order the frame and have way too many options.
Bonus points for a "keyboard macro" mode.
Thought it would be easiest for most
customers to measure their prints/posters
and supply that one set of dimensions.

Sure, that's totally understandable. I'd expect, though, that a sizable chunk of people who won't bat an eye at your prices for custom frames are going to be like me. Feel free to email me at aaron@brethorsting.com if you'd like to discuss in more detail. And thanks again! I look forward to using your service!
The defence will do well leaning more on the incompetence of the prosecution and holding their cards close. In general the system should work where the burden of proof is on the state. What they have done now is show that the configuration of the server as recorded by the FBI makes the access description of the FBI impossible. Yes they could go further to grep -v out localhost and the front-end's IP addr but they can save this to further humiliate the FBI when convenient. Imagine the prosecution now counters with some other detail they forgot to mention but the proof the defence held back humiliates them again. Do this several times and the judge will, rightfully, be disturbed at the state not disclosing the full detail of their case.

This was solved for the case of http/https with the "Strict-Transport-Security" header which says that all future communication (for a certain time) will always be over HTTPS.

Burning Money Is Never Good: Putting Out Fires with Librato's API
As someone who framed four photos (from small to 3 feet wide) a couple years ago -- I wound up using cheap $10-30 Blick frames and cropping my photos to "standard sizes", and spending $200 locally on the one that simply couldn't be cropped to a standard size.

I would definitely have been interested in online custom sizes, but with cheap materials -- plastic instead of glass, black faux wood frame. Not just for quality, but also for weight -- a glass covering over a 3-foot photo is crazy heavy.

There's definitely a big market of people who are post-college and want proper frames for non-standard-sized content, but simply want them as cheap as possible.
How does something like this get fixed? Is the only option to get on the phone and yell at the guys in the other NOC to fix their announcements?
>These appear as Ethernet interfaces normally do on Linux, visible with ip link show. (ifconfig has long been deprecated by the community in favor of the iproute2 family of tools.)

I am amused when I read things like this, 99% of the Linux savvy folks I know use ifconfig.
appreciate this very much, working on it!
You will never stop DOSs. It's trivial (I imagine, can't think why it wouldn't be) to DOS someone's cell signal. Allowing users to see which items are "certified real" and not raspberry pis in bushes is an easy engineering problem we've solved in a number of different contexts.
For perspective I had custom framing done recently for something that was about 16"x30" and it was $300. I could have paid less than 50% for a very similar frame using this site.

Even the low-quality frames from craft stores tend to cost significantly more than a cheap poster. A poster is just a big piece of printed paper.

Sorry, I have to disagree with you there, as someone with decades of C and c++ experience, this is very dense, averagely-tidy, but using some very-definitely-bad-practice macros (See the definition of "SHOW").
C and C++ can look a hell of a lot better than this....
GifBook – Animated GIFs as Flip Books
I'm a little hazy on the technical details of BGP routing - am I correct in thinking that if you're a first-class BGP citizen, you can just advertise yourself as handling others' traffic and that's it, it just comes?
...and terrible load times. In reality their load times are probably fine, but they immediately show a loading icon which make it feel like it takes forever. If they just rendered the above-the-fold content it would load in a snap. Like you said, it's basically static HTML.
These sentences in your copy set me up to expect a framing solution that would let me frame a poster in a nice frame for ~$40: "A handful came from Fab.com, there was a Ray Lamontagne concert poster I picked up after a show, and several others I had purchased on and offline. Not one had cost over $40."

I felt let down that the minimum cost for framing 24x36 prints was then $109+.

It's a nifty idea, and the custom-framing market is at least partially ready to disrupted by a well-executed internet outfit. Good luck!
Yup - it is!
and does it continue ?
Great thoughts in this tread, thanks.

In Battlefield 3 and 4, DICE chose to implement the latter option (aiming and hit detection are clientside, no questions asked). The tradeoff - and I'm sure you'd agree there is always a tradeoff no matter how we deal with latency - is that as the person being shot at, you'll frequently die some fraction of a second after getting behind solid cover, because you weren't behind cover just yet on your opponent's screen when he shot you.

This is certainly frustrating and frequently complained about, but I think it's the lesser of various evils for these particular games.
There is an obvious solution, but it's an enormous undertaking.

Each level of delegation must be cryptographically validated. Route announcements not signed using a certificate to which authority for that block has been delegated must be rejected.
It's very reductive, and it's also supported by culture. Culture wants to objectify you into being the x guy, whether it's FP evangelist or maintainer of $COOL_OSS_PROJECT or whatever.

Resist that for your own sake. You cannot reinvent yourself if you've cast your identity in stone.
I think this is a great interface. This is cast as a discovery system for public devices but I think it is equally well suited for remote control of private devices.

The writeup indicates the beacons run in broadcast mode. I think it would be good if there were also a discovery mode where the client could ping devices and they could respond. This would be good for a few use cases, including “private” devices like things in your home. These devices could be configured to only respond to certain clients.

For home devices, another feature that would be nice is if the device could use http-over-BLE to service the web request itself. The device would run a small web server and the web page on the client would be the user interface for the device. For home automation there are these complicated specifications for different device types, but HTML is the perfect interface to run any device.

Thanks to you and the others that replied.

So basically the prosecutors have to explain probable cause to justify the warrant, and that explanation cannot include information that could only be found in the evidence captured as a result of the warrant.

Is there no legal process to ensure that the original warrant request (probable cause justification) is not changed once the warrant is issued? The warrant itself does not have to be public immediately but some aspect of it, like a case# and hash of the document could be preserved as part of the warrant (or embedded in the warrant). I assume these documents form a critical part of the due process.

Moving to Sublime 3 after 15 yrs with TextPad – reasons, comparisons, and tips
I would expect 13x13x0.75" to be the exterior dimensions of the wood, given that 3 dimensions are listed.

Maybe I just misunderstand how frames are described and sold, but I would fully expect to receive a frame with a 12x12" opening ("to fit a 12.0" x 12.0" print") if I bought that frame, and would feel misled if I ended up with a 13x13" opening. Again, maybe that's just how frames are sold, but if that's the case perhaps the site could explain that better.
Very glad to see this. The profit margins for framing were ripe to be targeted. Would like to see similar services for lampshades and curtains, both of which have unwarranted high markup.
Might as well merge it into 2 functions and just carry a usb battery
This problem was first described in Farmer and Morningstar's "The Lessons of Lucasfilms' Habitat" (1990), which was a MMORPG running on Commodore 64 machines over 300 baud dial-up modems. They referred to this problem as "surreal time".

Back then, they had latencies of 100ms to 5000ms. The original article here says they can get latencies of 200ms from 99% of XBox connections. Not much progress in latency in 25 years. I can understand the LAN party nostalgia.
That is pretty awesome. The solution seem so simple in retrospect. Just mask out the larger 500nm light you don't want to hit the surface.

Certainly even 1TB CDs would be insanely awesome. It would open up a whole realm of mass storage. I'm just feeling how easy backups will be :)
You nailed the alternatives on the head: buy cheap plastic or MDF frames that look crappy and are hard to find in the right size, or spend $$$ at the custom frame shop for a beautiful, high-quality frame. I wanted to deliver the same product as the custom frame shop, but in a much more convenient way and at ~half the cost. Could expand into other price point later, but right now trying to hit that sweet spot in the middle where there is a real pain point.
In regards to SpeedRunners:

"Implementing online multiplayer was very difficult," developer Casper van Est tells me. "People always warn you about it, and even with that taken into account, it turned out more difficult than we expected. We're a small two-person development team, so we already knew implementing it was going to take a while, but it ended up taking us several years."

Awesome, they banned github over what's pretty clearly a satirical file.

Fantasy Football – Man United's Falcao Tipped to Shine
I simply don't believe you can be something external to yourself. Certainly you can trick yourself into thinking that it is who you are (in whatever "phase" of life you are in), but again, IMO, that is a reductive line of thinking.

That's the crux of it and I think is wrong with lot's of examples to prove otherwise.

Look at any U.S. Marine. They ARE Marines, or any Olympic athlete, they are whatever their sporting role is.

Of course setting up the idea as though the only way to do it is to "trick yourself" makes it impossible to refute so I will just leave it at this:

Common startup wisdom seems to believe that if you want to be the founder of a billion dollar company, you probably need to "trick yourself," or however you want to say it, into believing you are your company.

thats correct cloudfare outage, now resolved >> https://twitter.com/coinbase/status/517705380583833600
I can't imagine renting a computer that I'm going to be working on myself. I just wouldn't trust that it hadn't been tampered with or is recording my keystrokes, etc. I have multiple computers, so if I had to send one in for repair, I wouldn't really need a rental. I do work for a company that does electronic testing and we often rent computers for testing events. (Cisco Live, TechED, etc...) Our software only runs on Windows, so we don't need macs, however they do have those available as well. I could see people renting them in quantity for events, training, etc.. but I don't see where someone would rent one for personal use. Good luck with your venture. I tried your survey, but it kept getting stuck. The progress bar was all over the place too.
That's pretty much my understanding of it, though "it just comes" is a bit of a simplification.

Edit (clarification):

- BGP has no authentication so anyone can advertise 'anything' (still has to be a valid address).

- "it just comes" isn't entirely accurate as the changes propagate outwards through your peers (in p2p fashion). I'm not sure what happens technically when two networks are advertising themselves as serving a particular IP though (I have a fuzzy idea, but don't know how the edge-cases would be resolved).

Exactly. The two products you mention are similar also in the fact that a traditional e-commerce paradigm (thumbnails and drop downs) don't quite map to the way you want to preview and select them. So much room for Levle to grow and become more intuitive/helpful to getting the right frame for your art up on the wall.
>If everything is more or less stock Linux, what value does Cumulus actually add for it to be worth the licensing costs?

Cumulus's value is that it's the translation between Linux kernel bridging/routing, and the hardware accelerated routing performed by the Broadcom Trident family. Somebody has to sign Broadcom's agreements and program for it, and Cumulus is doing that cheaper than anybody else as far as I can tell.

Another value is that you can now choose between all sorts of switch vendors, and not be as susceptible to lock-in from that angle.

Retail pricing on a white box 48x 10gB + 4x 40Gb switch is less than $6k, and an annual Cumulus license is $1k. If Juniper can match or beat that, I would love to see it, but I doubt I ever will, because you have to spend days cultivating a relationship with Juniper to even start getting decent pricing. And really, JunOS, despite being nice, puts Juniper at a disadvantage over Linux as the net OS. I'd even pay a small premium to use Linux as it is so much more programmable and makes it so much easier to get new racks up and going.
LinkedIn Begins Ranking Universities Based on Career Outcomes
In some cases, yes is that simple.
Maybe I'm just bad at negotiating, but I haven't been able to get vendors to quote me less than double the cost of the Cumulus hardware quotes I've seen (primarily Quanta). Also, looking at support costs, the quotes I have for Cumulus are about 20% cheaper than the cheapest quotes I've seen from Juniper/Dell, just for software support.

That said, NBD or sooner hardware replacement plans are a bit weird with Cumulus. I think they expect you to keep onsite spares, which still ends up being cheaper.

I think if Cumulus becomes more popular, we might see some community code that implements validation and confirmed commits and more features. If we decide to go with Cumulus, and we are thinking about it, we might write something like that.
