Oh, I agree with that wholeheartedly. I bet you could make a 'serious looking' guide like this:

And add a few instructions like "now email your private key to ..." and people would just go through the motions and do it.

Still though, adding to the traffic out there would probably help - at least a little bit - privacy efforts.

'"Abuse" is quite hyperbolic in this situation.'

I certainly didn't mean it in its strongest sense.

"I also don't have infinite time to give helpful and constructive corrections to every stupid comment on the internet."

But you have time to give poor responses. I suggest you reorganize your time.

"Sometimes you just make it clear that the comment is stupid, so no one else accidentally takes it as reasonable, and leave."

I don't think that's what it tells people. You didn't explain, in a useful way, why it was unreasonable. So all people know is 1) someone on the internet thinks this comment sucks (which is almost tautological), and 2) comments are more likely to be met with negativity than assistance (which is harmful to our community).
This CNet article seems to have a lot more detail than the Techcrunch one:

Another minor nitpick, here [1] you are using reflection. You can pretty easily convert it to a type switch [2], which is more idiomatic.

[2] https://golang.org/doc/effective_go.html#type_switch
Probably because you have to put a space after % (not sure why, but likely to disambiguate it from other sorts of typing).

It rocks. And I have 1200 tabs open at the moment on Linux64 Nightly (~120 actually loaded). Yes, I'm a tab-hoarder. Bookmarks are useful, but don't give me the easy "I want to come back to this" aspect - once I do close it, I'm done with it; if I bookmark it it's there forever (and the number of bookmarks became unmanagable eventually).

Every so often I do a pass and close out 50 or 100 tabs I no longer care about. Usually I sit at 900-1000; it's time to cull.
Maybe you could reply to the others. Agreed NSAKEY is old news.
Actually, no. Proving that finding the has is NP-complete would require a proof that any boolean formula (the SAT problem) can be translated into a Bitcoin block such that a nonce yielding a small hash (which is what Bitcoin asks for) would somehow encode a solution to the SAT problem.

Nothing like this has been proved (neither directly nor indirectly), and it seems very unlikely to happen in the foreseeable future.

In fact, none of the commonly used cryptographic primitives have NP-hardness proofs.

Looking forward to it.

There's this notion that "programming is math", and all the universities cram math down CS student's throats. Some even have the nerve to make classes called things like "Calculus for Computer Science"

Do any of these programs or classes make any sort of effort to explain math in Computer Science terms? Has the professor of "Calculus for Computer Science" ever even written a line of code in his life? Of course not.

Hopefully we can get more material of this sort, and we can reverse this situation.
Apple hit with class-action lawsuit over 2011 MacBook Pro graphics failures
I think you're misunderstanding what "network effects" means. A product or service benefits from the network effect when it becomes more useful the more users it has.

For example, a telephone by itself is completely worthless. A telephone when all your friends also have telephones is great.

Uber doesn't benefit from this effect in any meaningful way. If my friends all use Uber, that doesn't make Uber inherently more useful to me than Lyft (or a cab). Its utility is divorced from the number of other people using it.

What you're talking about is more properly called "mindshare" (much as I hate that term) or simply "consumer awareness".
I meticulously entered my lab results, height, weight, etc into Google health few years back. And they promptly discontinued the service. What is the guarantee that this will not meet the same faith? I am not buying into this unless they make it open source -- so that somebody else can take over when Google loses interest.
Ah, I'd missed that interpretation. Well done.
Are you talking about inconsistent HTML parsing or inconsistent CSS rendering? The latter is much more of a pita than the former.
I know, but that proves that cancer scares people to the point of doing silly things. An innocuous screening test, even with a fair amount of false positives could be a huge win.
That assumes a sufficient fraction of the population understands its own self-interest and will hurt AT&T by supporting a disruptive competitor. I hope that's the case, but it's also possible that AT&T (or any company that seems to be mistreating consumers) has market research that indicates the vast majority of their customers are too passive to switch and can safely be milked like cows.
They may not be lying - that could be raw revenue. Unlike white collar jobs driving a car for a living comes with a lot of costs that kill your actual take-home income, far above and beyond just taxes.

Maintenance, repairs, insurance, and gas are all direct costs that don't really improve with economies of scale. Car payments too - though white collar workers may also be hit with that, but probably less so.

I think there's a bit of deliberate obfuscation here where Uber wants you, the office worker, to think of that $90K without all the strings attached, in which case it would be a pretty decent income.

Even if we don't get an interview, going through the application process was a good exercise for us (https://www.morphmail.com/). From the analytics report, it looks like 4 people from YC viewed our demo (YC-specific URL) and 1 actually sent a test message. YouTube says that the 1 minute video was viewed 8 times for 8 minutes total. So far good signs, but the real question is how many great applicants were at the top of the list. We'll keep our fingers crossed!

Are you sure it's CT scans? Why not MRIs, which as far as we know cause much less harm to the body? (They're more expensive, but I'd think people who are that worried about cancer would consider the extra expense worth it.)
The crypto bit is perfectly reasonable in this context as Elephant meets the standards for crypto publication in this regard. You excuse leaks water.

Where you can no longer reasonably hold your position is where you got off the train.
seems like their selling point is data binding + client syncing. Considering I can do that with Ractive/React + Firebase, what's the advantage of using Meteor?
Can someone explain what the "spread operator" is and how to use it?
Yes and no, it depends, If you use the entire suite of bootstrap, yes. We did not, we used it for the grid system (getting those nice big perfectly sized columns). Everything else was hand written CSS and HTML.
I'm looking at the webpage now. Sounds like it tries to resolve some of the thread locking issues. Not sure I'd use the orgmode -> rich text email feature, but that is pretty awesome. Anything in particular you find superior to GNUS or otherwise useful?
If you evaluate faculty and grants on research proposals but not the results, what stops a researcher making lots of big idea proposals, but never actually doing any work? At some point, someone needs to actually do the experiments. In your system there is no motivation to do that.

What I think we need to do is reward negative results as much as positive results.
DuckDuckHack: Help us make the web a better place
>It was my understanding that most harassment and abuse is about dominance of the mind rather than physical. It's not about exercising entitlement, it's about establishing ownership. Subtle, but different.

Well, yes, abuse is about power and control, certainly. But an abuser exerts power and control in a variety of ways and for a variety of reasons. The root cause of street harassment is certainly for men to exercise power and control over not just a specific woman, but over the class of women as a whole; however, a factor that enables this is the narrative that men are entitled to women and women's bodies. This is why there are "nice guys" -- because men are taught that women are vending machines, fed tokens of chivalry and dispensing sex as a result. I wouldn't call the abusive pattern of "nice guys" about specifically women's minds vs. bodies, but rather that "nice guys" seek to exert dominance, power, and control over women by punishing women that do not behave according to the rules of the game that they set.

So, subtle, different, but not wholly distinct either. In a phrase, why do men feel entitled to own women's bodies?

>Killing 4chan would be like dropping a brick on a piece of shit - you don't have any less shit, just scattered.

But there's a lot of value in scattering the shit:

* You immediately damage the command-and-control system, fragmenting it into many subforums that are less individually efficacious for at least a period of time before a spiritual successor emerges

* You send a message to everyone involved that what they are doing is not, in fact, okay. This is very important. Most 4channers/GamerGaters/men feel that it is normal to want the things they want and to do the things they do. Feminism is a dirty word and feminists are an aberration. Everyone imagines themselves the hero of their own story, but it's hard to maintain that image if the world denounces you. Heroes are not often denounced by the world.

(Further, I personally care nothing for the implications to the platform. If you allow this filth on your platform you deserve what happens to you. You can't hide behind the actions of users when this is what you're actively profiting from -- the vast majority of 4chan ads are violently misogynist Japanese sex toys.)
> What is the guarantee that this will not meet the same faith?

There's generally no guarantee that any service anyone provides won't be discontinued. Either (1) the service provider is prepared to jettison services that end up becoming net money losers (and thus, its services are at risk of being discontinued voluntarily), or (2) the service provider is not particularly concerned about being able to sustain itself (and thus, its services are at an elevated risk of being discontinued involuntarily).

There is not a third option.

> I am not buying into this unless they make it open source -- so that somebody else can take over when Google loses interest.

Open sourcing the implementation is kind of orthogonal to providing a transition path for the data so that what has been captured for any user can move to a new provider's system. It is neither necessary nor sufficient for that.
You can ask it either way.

I've fiddled with the Stronglifts app, it is surprisingly handy. It basically serves the same purpose as a stopwatch and notebook log, but in a nicer more automated package.

- Track your progress

- Remember what weight you did last time

- Count your sets

> Taxi companies that provide a lesser service will die off and be replaced by others that follow the example of Uber.

I don't think Uber in its present form will shift the demand curve dramatically. Driverless cars will. A world with driverless cars could follow two models. Let's call them Apple and IBM.

Apple: each household owns a driverless car. Perhaps it can be occasionally rideshared via UberX, Lyft, etc. In this world, you are right: Uber tomorrow will be Uber today.

IBM: Uber (or Google or Tesla...) owns (and finances and repairs and replenishes) a fleet of driverless cars. Households pay it use fees. In this world, Uber's strategic autonomy is dramatically improved over today. If I were Uber, this is the long game I'd be playing for. I would be (a) training riders to depend on hiring cars with minimal personal contact, (b) encouraging the development of driverless cars, and (c) building a cash pile for rapidly acquiring a vast fleet of driverless cars the moment they become viable.
Ah, yes, EU-wide coverage is a problem - you need to get SIMs for every country you visit if you want the lowest rate.

Thankfully, prepaid SIMs with low data prices are very common everywhere, but it certainly would be convenient if you could use one everywhere.

As it is, calls and SMS on roaming are cheap, but data is still very expensive.
It's clearly a product very early in development. I'm surprised Google released such a minimal product in such an important domain, but willing to give it a chance, feed it data and see how it matures.

The Latest and Greatest from Ngx_lua: New Features and Tools [video]
If you stick to the basics of CSS that have been around for a decade or so, both of them are basically solved problems. Browsers are remarkably uniform in how they handle the stuff that was a PITA in 2008.

The problem is that expectations adjust too, and now we want all these new HTML5 features that were just pioneered in a single browser a couple years ago. Those have a lot of cross-browser issues.
Best of luck to all! BTW, I think ~10% get interview invites, then ~30% of those are selected for W15
I have found that 95% of the people will side with the person who has the most control of a situation. Many times
that person is the Blowhard, but too many times that person
or entity is the boss,wealthy parent, or teacher. When I was in school, I was surprised how few students would correct the teacher.
I understood they were concerned about grades, but there's
a point where I literally wanted to strangle a teacher, or
boss. I came close, and my grades suffered. As to bosses, I
would quit, or hurt them "the old faschioned way". Right now, my biggest gripe with people who "just go
along with" is our current treatment of the Homeless. I
don't understand how people can debate on what to do, or turn a blind eye when cops try to fix the problem with the
"fix the crack in the window" theory.

The parent comment is stating a premise as a conclusion. Not having trouble admitting when you don't know something or understand something very well is actually a third attribute (commonly called humility), not the result of the first two. If more people focused on having it as an attribute then the scenario that the parent comment mentioned (and similar scenarios -- such as disappointing YouTube comments?) would be much rarer in occurrence.

In fact, failing to have the third attribute affects the other two. Your confidence will quickly become overconfidence or pure hubris when faced with something you don't know much about. Also, in relationship to the second attribute, it is hard to convince yourself that you are not actually knowledgeable of something if you are not humble enough to consider that possibility.
(Disclaimer: I work at Meteor) That box is referring to the data syncing, event handling, and view rendering code that you don't have to write when you use Meteor, compared to some of the previous generation frameworks.

If you put together the right list of cutting-edge components like React, Firebase, Bootstrap, and some build tools, you might get a similar improvement in code simplicity. Our goal at Meteor is to give you the same benefits without making you write code to plumb between several different frameworks.
Then it isn't a limit at all, it is a suggestion.

If something running within a cgroup can exceed what the cgroup allows then the cgroup is completely worthless as a concept.

Plus you have to assume some cgroups might be TRYING to DOS the machine its running on (e.g. shared hosting). If you give them a way to bypass the protections of cgroup and use up additional memory then they WILL take out the machine.

You are in the vast minority in preferring metering.
Sure, if you consider pump-and-dump scams to be the baseline then any honest business doesn't look economically feasible.
And since that includes security patches, probably best to avoid it.
Well, if Uber isn't used then there aren't any cabs when I want one. Lots of people use UBer => I can always get a ride. SO that example might not be a good one.
Thanks for saving me the time to look that one up.
The economics of research are worthy of more investigation.

The goal would be to reward those who produce the most research with the highest impact. However, it often takes years or decades to determine which of the fashionable ideas circulating at any one time are the foundations upon which further knowledge will be built, and which will fade away.

A similar problem exists when discussing the mechanisms of rewarding Wall Street traders, bankers and politicians.

Since the impacts of the work performed today are so distant from realistic mechanisms of evaluation, proxies are instead used. In academia, this amounts to counting the number of papers a person publishes and the journals in which they are published.

So, are there alternative mechanisms that could be used? In what way could we harness the mechanisms of industry and capitalism to further "true science"?

A possibility, alluded to in the article linked, might be for researchers to makes "bets" on the outcome of their work. For example, they would lodge their predictions at some central place (perhaps using the mechanisms currently used for grant proposals), and if their predictions are correct, they get a reward. So, one would submit a grant application, some funding would be given, and if the results are correct, an extra tranche of money is delivered to the scientist (not their institute).

It would be necessary to ensure that they are not betting on results they already have (~insider trading).
Even if it's raw revenue...where are the 100s of drivers making that much that Uber claims exist?

Well you have Athos clothing trackers coming out soon, which tracks muscle exertion.

Thing is although, it costs $300-$400 dollars. Runkeeper works with the phone you already have, and you can optionally add a couple of $50-$150 accessories. Very different price points.
Linode doesn't do this either. Nor do I want it to. It's my cluster and I should be responsible for firewalling it.
He may not have the tools as a security precaution: when you're a huge company like Amazon, you're going to hire a few bad apples. So you don't want to give all of your support reps access to every account (though maybe you have a few managers who do), which is why the security questions exist.

Furthermore, I don't even know what Amazon is supposed to do in this instance. They would normally e-mail the user, but that's obviously not going to work in this case. I guess they could send a snail mail letter, but even then this is probably enough of an edge case there's no policy around it, and as such no automated form letter to send or system to send it from. If their support reps are taught to never deviate from policy, he may have gotten confused and given up (this happens any time you hire anyone under ~$15/hr: you have to pay them enough to care).

I would guess he could have gotten a better response by jumping on LinkedIn and finding a VP of customer support and e-mailing them directly. At a company with the velocity Amazon has, they still see one-in-a-million errors a few dozen times a year, so it's not a bad idea to address them as they come up.
I think Keybase (https://keybase.io/) could really be the answer to this. Once there's a real public key directory and API things can really start to happen on the backend without most users even realizing it.
