Absolutely. Combine this with "The site said investors had averaged net gains of 1 percent each trading day during the past five years" and you have a giant stop sign.

I am always surprised when I read stories like this. They've lost 2000 pounds and the next thing they do is invest 60.000$?

This is a good example why we need more financial education in school.
Wow, Epiphany. Haven't heard that name in a long time. I used to work at IBM above their office in Campus Dr. in San Mateo. I think they went out of business and that space was later occupied by a staffing agency. I might have run into her before in the lobby. Such a long time ago. Man, time flies.

Why should a monarch have anything to do with it? It would be good to see it be given out by someone who previously won the award, someone who has actually achieved something.
Yes, but it complements functional programming.

That was quite different though, because Google was (inadvertently) recording packet data as well as SSIDs. It's right there in the 3rd paragraph.
CYPRES AADs work based on calculating rate of decent, not from some triggered barometric pressure. With modern micro-controllers it's practically trivial to tell the difference between a barometric altimeter sensor history of pressure changes in a cabin and pressure changes due to free falling through the open atmosphere. From there it's just a matter of triggering based on rate of decent, altitude ranges, etc.

Some "selling points" of the CYPRES-2: http://www.cypres-2.com/

Note how they call out that you can keep it activated on the ground, in vehicles, in pressurized cabins, etc. without fear of accidental automatic activation.

UMTS/LTE (GSMA 3G/4G) has strong mutual authentication, so is generally harder to attack without collaboration from the mobile operator. What should really worry you is when your phone switches over to Edge (GSMA 2G) for no good reason. There's no mutual authentication there(!) so it's trivial for an attacker to impersonate your mobile operator...
Reaching #6 on Product Hunt with an iOS app
Hi all,

I thought I'd quickly share a data point for hackers around here trying to hit a spot on Product Hunt.

I reached #6 and 136 upvotes on Nov 3rd with HN Cards (http://www.producthunt.com/posts/hn-cards), and over the past 10 days this has brought just short of 500 downloads for the app (which is free).

The most important benefit for me was the feedback received (either on PH or by email) and corresponding product validation. The number of downloads is clearly not impressive, but still very decent.

Hope this helps!
Or speeds up :)

I'm not sure what financial education would do here. The people in the article, some of whom were medical doctors, surely knew how percentages work, how probabilities work. What else exactly did they need to be taught, in school, university, and medical school? I'd say they needed more (at least some) common sense.

Very cool and ambitious project. If I was 14 again, I would have been all over this. Back then, all I had was dusty library books. Now, totally not interested in making games, although I enjoy playing them! I'll probably skim just to see the algorithms he uses to handle AI, pathfinding and physics.
One could say the same thing about the mandate to move to SF or lose your job. Not everyone wants to live in the city. You might call suburbia a hellhole, but some of us see the city that way, particularly given its cost of living.

> I generally support the mission of the US intelligence community

We no longer have the freedoms the US intelligence community is supposed to be defending. They have already failed us.

edit: Sure, we have some freedoms, but they are vestigial. In principle, we do not. This is obvious with respect to not being subject to warrantless search and seizure: we officially live in an Orwellian surveillance society. But our freedoms are (less obviously) withering in all other areas as well.

My personal blog has been exclusively on HTTPS for quite some time now.

On nr. (1) it is not that big of a deal and for your own content SPDY can make a difference. Satellite connections are indeed problematic for HTTPS.

BTW - I have insisted on having my personal blog on HTTPS because I noticed that some public networks in hotels and public places are injecting content into websites. And so for me HTTPS is a way of signing my content.
Google security algorithm, I am an adult. Please disable yourself
A login and a password do not suffice to use Google services. One must also learn how the Google security algorithm functions through trial and error, often at some monetary cost.

How, pray tell, I am supposed to tell Google that it is me trying to send an email through msmtp? Offlineimap? Chromium within Debian? That I moved, am on the other side of the world and would like to speak to my friends and family? That I don't want to tell it my real location?

I used TOR once. Outcome: account blocked and only verified through an online process which costs money, meaning that an attempt at hiding resulted in my giving my credit card information.

I live in a sad world, where I need to learn how to behave like a machine designed by well-meaning engineers expect me to. Except that there is one thing there don't expect me to do: to know my login and password, and not loose them.
It is essentially the same as payday loans. No one would pay thousands of percent interest but when framed different people take them up.
The issue isn't that they are decrypting the traffic for inspection. That's a concession you just have to make with a trusted third party providing these types of services. The issue is that with their "Flexible SSL" they are then forwarding that unencrypted traffic on through the wilds(the internet) to the customer. Not only does this fly in the face of widely regarded best practices for transferring sensitive information between trusted, controlled networks the browser is none the wiser. You could argue that somebody with a certificate could do this anyhow. Yes, this is true. However CloudFlare who should, and most likely DOES, know better and are now doing this wholesale as a product offering! This should be frowned upon and CloudFlare should receive double frowns.

Decided to make free one of a kind Twitter headers for up to 100 people
Yeah, well .. here is the thing:

We, the free people, can build drones and we can also put wifi repeaters on them and we can - instead of sniffing things - actively participate in the construction and maintenance of wide open communication systems, for all to use. Everyone.

That is the other end of the scale of all this secrecy and control - there is another end of the NSA conundrum, and its all about open source. So, you know: getting your own local network started, and stop just 'consuming it' from the powers that be, is sort of a priority folks. If you don't want to have a secret oppressor, push to have fewer secrets kept in the world. Its a fact that the corruption of all governments begin with their secrets.

So .. as someone who has a fleet of small drones above his head right now, albeit sleeping while the lipo's charge, here is a technology I think should be pointed out that is a little less prone to snooping, and with the right kind of neighborhood, gives us all a great amount of freedom to communicate, nevertheless:

What specifically has to be in the history? What yes-or-no test, what action that hasn't already happened?

Major projects open-sourced on GitHub under MIT licence? Check. Runs Linux, java and PHP in the Azure data centres? check.
And that's how you end up in a society where all risk-taking is banned to the fringes. No thanks, I'd much rather sign the "waiver from hell". High-risk activities CAN be self-regulated by industry, i.e. skydiving.
> Still, both lack a lot of basic issue tracker and code
> review features.

I strongly disagree. What you might consider "basic features" I'd consider antifeatures. The bare simplicity of the issue tracker is precisely why I use it for my (large) projects. The PR model of code review scales elegantly to hundreds of contributors. I'd be devastated to see GitHub's collaboration tools move even a step toward the hellscape that is JIRA.
The only way to raise money: Make them believe
Sometimes common sense has to be taught. Of course they do know how percentages, probabilities and so on work. But they fail to do so when it comes to money.
I actually doubt that this is (in most cases) due to greed. Many people just don't have a feeling for the relation between risk and promised reward.

Is he using a compiler, editor, IDE?

Just because he isn't using an engine doesn't mean it's made "from scratch".
PG and SAMA have good facts I'm sure -- but those are not interchangable with their public writings. Divining one from the other is at best a speculative enterprise. And in this case, poor logic is not a substitute for good facts.
Comparing code to natural language is dishonest. Code is nothing like that. In code, the structure and exact wording is important, while you probably wouldn't notice if a paragraph of fiction was rearranged and had words substituted with synonyms.
Can anyone compare this to Banshee [1]?

When I look at APL, it seems a bit clearer where this all is coming from. After all, we're perfectly fine with using an asterisk as infix notation for multiplication, even if all the rest is done with functions, methods etc.. This isn't just the case because we've learned mathematical notation in school and thus "x <asterisk> y" seems natural enough (as opposed to e.g. multiply(x,y)), but also that we learned to accept the "asterisk" as a substitute for the middle position dot or the cross. The same is true for division or especially weird stuff like logical-or...

J works along the same lines: First, you had to accept a "widened" set of mathematical operators with arrays as the core. Which is APL with its funky fonts and keyboards. And J then takes away your more readable, but inconvenient to type notation and replaces it with ASCII. It's a bit like learning calculus with lisp as your first notation...

That's the syntactical hurdle. Then you've also got to get used to the array-centric programming model. Just like stacks for forth, functions for functional programming or lists and recursion for lisp.

As opposed to lisp, I think the syntax is the bigger issue here for a change. You don't just have to change the order in which you read things and ignore some parens, you've got to get over some very deeply ingrained habits, not just from other programming languages, but from normal writing itself. No scanning, neither horizontally nor vertically. The closest analogy for me were regexes, where you can't just skip ahead, either.

Take that with a grain of salt, I'm just trying to get into it myself. Two things that I might want to try out to really grok it are programming in that style in other languages (like the infamous Whitney C example) to adjust my reading style without having to adjust to other paradigms at the same time, and to edit APL with ed, so that focusing on a single line becomes potentially easier.

edit: replaced asterisk with, well, "asterisk". How does one escape that in HNews? backslash didn't work.

Everything's very interesting, but somehow pretending to explain that with complex means of Western knowledge is like trying to break an iceberg with an ice pick. You'll find yourself with lots of nice ice for your cocktails, but you'll never break the iceberg that way.

Apart from parables, scientific study of yoga physiological effects is obviously a good thing. Only, it's something culturally very far from the kind of knowledge that made yoga possible.
It sounds like you have a fixed religious belief instead of an opinion. Every day must be infuriating for you! You're too much of a fanboy to consider that Microsoft isn't your friend, or that other people have opinions counter to yours. But I've already put too much food beneath this particular bridge of yours.
> But the FDA does allow it

The FDA decides what is a drug, and what is a supplement, under the laws passed by Congress, and therefore which regulatory regimes apply. Not the company.

http://www.fda.gov/Food/DietarySupplements/

> Is it not equally possible that drug companies felt more cautious

The thalidomide disaster had nothing to do with effectiveness of a drug. It had to do with safety, and the FDA did not approve thalidomide in the US prior to the 1962 amendments under their authority to require safety.

> 1st world economy is shifting the goalposts

Not really. The 1st world will be the customers where the money is, and those regulations will apply regardless of where a drug is developed. Secondly, investing billions producing a state-of-the-art lab in a 3rd world country is not something investors will be happy about - problems with any and all of corruption, unstable governments, security, clean water, reliable power, unskilled local labor, rampant crime, unpredictable regulatory environments, culture, etc.

I do recommend you read the book. It deals with your questions. It's available on Amazon.
So if its not a dichotomy, what are the other options? If you want to avoid copy/paste, you have to use generalisation techniques.

> ESR, is, if nothing else, the champion of his own relevance

What an apt description. I never have had much confidence in the coding that ESR has done. Just look at fetchmail and how that one has lost uncountable mails because of poor design.

Although he seems to think highly of his coding skills but I always had the impression that he's one of those hackers that really just hack together solutions. If a problem comes up there's always a fix to be committed. I wouldn't want such a programmer on my team.

But he's always been good with words and as an OSS lobbyist he was a well needed figure that put the software first and not politics as RMS did.
Starting the discussion by explaining what we are trying to compute would be useful.
Hahaha. Projecting much?

Microsoft is a company, like many others. Some divisions do things that are friendly and benefit me, sometimes, because they want to sell things. That's realistic.

I'm well aware that onions differ, which is why I ask about people’s reasons for holding those opinions, so that I can understand them. Of course, it's equally likely that people will resort to bluster and accusations instead of answers when they really don't have reasons, rather than examine themselves.
What's the difference between not being able to tell the difference and being confused? I'd say it's not a meaningful distinction.
The fact that the author already had an exit really stood out to me. Many early startup founders struggle just to pay rent.

While I hate the idea of selling early, there is the practical matter that a small exit allows for a lifetime of future startups. If Alex didn't already have money, I think the best answer would have been to sell. You only get one life.
