It's your money and you're entitled to your opinion. But by this logic, the manufacturers of your smartphone, the keyboard on which you typed this response, the monitor on which you saw it, and the computer you used to submit it all lied to you by claiming that they "made" these devices. Open any of them and you'll find chips from Intel, Broadcom, Qualcomm, Samsung, Motorola, Huawei, and countless others.

They likely designed four prototypes. That says nothing about creating them from scratch, and they would be idiotic to even attempt to do so. They certainly couldn't do that on $600K.
It links docker containers for local dev environments. You can launch a project with say a webapp, a cache like redis, and a db like mysql with the comamnd 'fig up'. The 3 docker containers in this case are linked via a fig.yml that defines the setup. It also attaches your local development code so realtime changes propgate through the cotainer (e.g live server reloads)

Getting a new dev onboarded with your whole dockerized stack involves:

- pip install fig

- cd into directory with fig.yml

-'fig up'

Really a great tool. Definitely recommend it. Good intro here: http://www.fig.sh/

The kid in me is constantly enthusiastic for the latest ... whatever.

But the perfectionist in me always wants to wait until the next version comes out. I've gotten to the point where I wait until v.3 before I get on board.

For instance the new Apple Watch, I'm very excited for the it but I think there are a lot of short comings - battery life, wireless charging, water proof?? So for now, I'll just watch from the sidelines until I think they have it right.

Now the MS Surface, has come a long way: v1 sucked, v2 was an improvement on suck, and v3 was good, I think v4 will be a perfect refinement on v3 - and therefore ready.

Educational experience, to say the least! Reminds me of when people found out Google was driving every mile of street in the world, or manually scanning every book everywhere.

"Today the Church has 220 data-gathering teams in forty-five countries that are making digital copies of new records. They are also converting 2.4 million microfilm records into a digital format. The LDS drove microfilm technology in the twentieth century, and today it is a leader in digital data storage. Its digital camera operators photograph records and get those images online within two days, and then an enormous army—that is to say, hundreds of thousands—of volunteers index the files and make them searchable. The Mormons were crowdsourcing long before the word was invented."

Few ways we handle the notifications :

1. Find existing service that handles the job - integrate it, or just let the user know, or subscribe to it on behalf of the user.

2. Write code - automate it, script it if possible

3. Virtual assistance - let our VAs handle the monitoring if there is no other way

Hope this answers :)

Thanks for the fix!

We collected over 165,000 salary predictions from 14,000 Salary Fairy users and analyzed how skills correlate with salaries.

...and of course, correlation does not imply causation. Additionally, there's a high chance of multicolinearity between the skills which will skew the results.

A better tactic is to use a linear regression and determine importance from the coefficients.
Sounds like a good use of EU resources.
Here is my unsolicited and unprofessional advice for this type of site:

1. Set up HTTPS on every site you run. No, really. That static 10 page info site for your church group? Yup, get it set up! The no-CSS blog from 1991 (before they were blogs)? Set it up! Even if you don't use WordPress (god, please tell me you are not running WordPress without SSL), and your site never lets anyone POST/PUT/DELETE/PATCH to it, remember that what people are reading is just as important. If I can hijack your site at the local coffee shop and serve malware, your readers will not be pleased. If I manage to do this in a widespread fashion, Google/Bing will blacklist your site and nobody will get to it.

2. Get a free cert! The dirty secret is that all certs are basically equal (EV and wildcard notwithstanding, though they are an entirely different matter). There are at least two places to get decent free certs: StartSSL and CloudFlare. If you want to protect something but your 10 page church website, get a cert from Namecheap for $8/year.

3. Use HTTPS-only. TFA is a great example: it's posted on a blog that can be accessed by both HTTP and HTTPS. If you leave this configuration, it's almost as bad as not having HTTPS at all. People don't type in "https://...". They go straight to "example.com" or they'll just Google "example" and click on the first link. Set up your server to redirect from port 80 straight to the canonical HTTPS version of your site.

If you are unfamiliar with how to set this up: practice. Get a Digital Ocean box for a few hours ($0.10/hour) and a free cert from StartSSL. Use a random domain name you own (you'll need a proper second level domain, but chances are you have one parked somewhere) and try setting up a site. It'll cost you as much as a single stick of gum and you'll know that much more about how to do it.

Edit:

4. Use a strong cipher suite such as this one: https://support.cloudflare.com/hc/en-us/articles/200933580-W...

5. Use nginx, at least for front-end proxy. Your life will be easier.

6. Check your setup against https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html. Fix issues it highlights.

7. Don't lose your private key. Don't have it live only on the live server.

8. Use HSTS (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_Strict_Transport_Security) but beware that once you have it set, you cannot go back to plain HTTP. For almost everyone this should not be a problem.

SpaceX got a lot of help from NASA, especially in regards to pintle engines[1] and this seems like a great way to pay back that transfer of expertise by moving the ball forward. My assumption (clearly incorrect) was that descent could be managed subsonically as the vertical speed at apogee is 0 but of course that stage has been pushing the second stage into its position and so it travelling down range at several k/s. Presumably you could deploy some sort of upper drag system which would use atmospheric drag to reorient the stage but you still have the fact that its travelling super sonically when you light the engines. I would love to see the CFD simulation of a exhaust nozzle when going that fast backwards! And then you light it off! I really hope that at some point they figure out how to glue a camera on to that stage so we can see what that looks like.

For anyone interested, here is a direct link[1] to the scientific background to Tirole's 'Market Power and Regulation' ideas, which were kindly compiled by the committee. Open source is first mentioned on page 27 (out of 54).

[1]: http://www.nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/economic-sciences/lau...

From the paper:

Open-source software: The literature on patent races assumes that R&D
investments are driven by the traditional profit-motive. However, economists
are increasingly realizing that not all new technologies originate in this way.
An important example is Open Source Software (OSS), where programmers at many
different locations and organizations share code to develop new software. This
process was important in the development of the Internet, contributing such
software as TCP/IP, BIND, Perl, Sendmail, Linux, Mozilla and Apache. What
initially baffled economists was that OSS developers did not seem to benefit
financially from their efforts. OSS is, in effect, a public good, which raises
the question why OSS programmers contribute voluntarily, without pay, to the
public good. Lerner and Tirole (2002) argued that economic theory may, in
fact, be able to answer this question. Their main hypothesis is that software
developers have career concerns. Contributing to the OSS may be a credible
signal of one's programming ability, which may lead to job offers, shares in
commercial open source-based companies, or access to the venture-capital
market.35 Drawing on a previous literature on career concerns (e.g., Holmstrom,
1982), they argue that the signaling motive is stronger the more visible is
performance, the higher the impact of effort on performance, and the more
informative performance is about talent. They find support for the signaling
motive in four case studies (Apache, Linux, Perl and Sendmail). Subsequent
research also found support for Lerner and Tirole's (2002) signaling theory, at
least for some OSS projects (e.g., Hann, Roberts and Slaughter, 2013, for
Apache). However, programmers seem to contribute to OSS for a variety of
reasons, perhaps including altruism. A satisfactory explanation of OSS
development may require a mixture of signaling theory and insights, like those
of 2009 Economics Laureate Elinor Ostrom, into how cooperative behavior can be
supported by norms and other social mechanisms (O'Mahony, 2003).

You can safely ignore Newsweek's coverage. The meat is in the SEC action:

http://www.sec.gov/litigation/admin/2014/34-73369.pdf

Basically: Athena targeted stocks with closing time imbalances between buys and sells, where NASDAQ ran a special order routing process, and traded with itself to influence the price reported at market close.

The dollar amounts the SEC describes are insignificant (that's obviously not a defense for the firm charged with the behavior).

It would be pretty frustrating to be dumped onto a highway in a stick shift and have to learn how to drive by googling for instructions in the car. That doesn't mean that driving is unnecessarily difficult.

Driving is only intended for people who have been trained and licensed to do so. Similarly, SSL certs are for people who have been trained on how to perform the tasks of a server admin, and presumably have read a 10-page ebook like How To Admin A Web Server.

Web servers in general are never supposed to be touched by the common user. They never were. Your server admin would set up a user account, and you'd dump your files in your ~user/public_html/ folder, and maybe if you were super clever you'd create a .htaccess file. The most complicated task a user ever was supposed to perform was to run "chmod 755" on the files in their /cgi-bin/ folder on their FTP site. All of this worked because an admin had to set everything up the right way and know how to do that.

So the next time you take on a technical hurdle you don't understand, I cannot stress enough how much more useful it is to either look up a good book on how to do it, or ask someone for help. It may not be as instant-gratification, but you'll get what you need done faster and understand it better.

How We Made Our Website Fast
The argument would be that by making it cheaper to visit means more people would go (supply up -> lower prices, higher demand). So even though you spent less, more people are visiting and spending and thus total visitor spending rises.

This seems to be the case in NYC[1]. Despite growth of AirBnB visitors, visitor spending and even hotel occupancy are up. And it's possible these stats may miss many AirBnB visitors - not sure hot they are collected but likely based of hotel occupancy.

If you are administering SSL enabled sites, you MUST keep track of latest security practices

Why is that? If you add a new server with different defaults, do you a) update all the other servers to the new defaults, or b) set the new server to your existing configuration.

Most server applications don't change defaults between minor versions because it leads to even worse problems. Such as users not updating because their application breaks and keeping old bugs alive.
> Second, if you believe law should only punish us for actually hurting people and not potentially hurting them, then you are against speed limits.

Germany has roads without speed limits, and they're doing just fine.

> Third, taxes are not punishment any more than piracy is theft and abortion is murder.

When did I say "taxes are punishment"? I was responding to the idea that we should take away rich people's money to prevent them from having too much power, which I think is a terrible slippery slope. Direct quote from GP:

> Wealth taxes are about disarming everyone -- good and evil -- for the safety of us all, not about morality.

It does matter, but less to you and more to your insurance company.

It's more like the your renter's insurance company would sue the neighbor's company for a claim. However, since the neighbor was renting out the apartment as an Airbnb property, then their standard renter's insurance was probably invalid at the time. So now your insurance company would sue the neighbor directly and may not be able to pay.

The long term implications are that renter's insurance costs will go up for everyone in that market.

I've long thought that the biggest problem with Airbnb wasn't the tax issue, or even landlords abusing the system and running mini-hotels. It was insurance. I suspect that none of the hosts who aren't physically present (and even some who are) are violating their insurance policy, and if there is a HOA or other sort of shared space, that insurance policy would also be violated.

If hosts had to actually pay the true costs of insurance, the cost savings between traditional hotels and Airbnb would be much smaller. Now, if Airbnb actually offered the insurance to the hosts, or maintained it themselves, that would be something. But that would be fraught with fraud issues over such a wide market.

But insurance isn't a sexy topic...

Unlikely. OAM is very localized: only those along the transmission path can determine the OAM component of the light. You can't "broadcast" an OAM signal across a large area.
The problem is that nobody can predict whether a tenant is going to abuse their lease to host short-term tenants for money. When their insurer refuses to pay up because they lied about how they use their space, there won't be any recourse through the tenant; bankrupt is bankrupt. The way around this is to require tenants to obtain expensive coverage on the presumption that they'll Airbnb the space.
Looks like OP got the answers needed. However, are there similar services that use actual lawyers, work on contingency basis, and have a global reach? This is probably something my local law firm would do, but I'm curious if there's a SaaS out there to initiate litigation.
Yeah, that statement I agree with. And no apology necessary (but +1 to you for it anyway), because it wasn't an issue of etiquette but of factual correctness. And not just "someone is wrong on the Internet." This one matters, because if someone with a somewhat gravelly gall bladder but no history of gallstones (picked up by ultrasound while looking at something else) decides to go ahead and have it removed based on the assumption that it literally does nothing except put you at risk of gallstones and can be removed with no risk other than the very minor cutting, he might end up like me, and I'm hoping to prevent a few cases of that. I'm also hoping to put something out there for people who end up like me to find via Google, so they can try Cholestyramine. Apparently it doesn't help some people, but it was miraculous for me.
