It is so sad that Google Code has not been given some love. Their bug tracker is far, far superior to Github. The review mechanism is also quite, quite good (Gerrit I presume). The UX was too, too Sourceforge-ish and could not compete with Github or (what I think is best of breed) Bitbucket.
Cloudflare offers a number of SSL options, but they all involve decrypting the traffic at Cloudflare and possibly re-encrypting it for the link to the final server. Their options:
(https://www.cloudflare.com/ssl)

* "Flexible SSL" - encrypted from client to Cloudflare using Cloudflare's cert, unencrypted from Cloudflare to host.

* "Full SSL" - encrypted from client to Cloudflare using Cloudflare's cert, encrypted from Cloudflare to host using a different host self-signed cert.

* "Full SSL (strict)" - encrypted from client to Cloudflare using Cloudflare's cert, encrypted from Cloudflare to host using a different host CA-signed cert.

(http://blog.cloudflare.com/keyless-ssl-the-nitty-gritty-tech...)

* "Keyless SSL" - encrypted from client to Cloudflare using the customer host's cert. Cloudflare doesn't have the customer's cert private key. They contact the customer's host for a session key for each session, and use this to encrypt from the client to Cloudflare. They decrypt at Cloudflare, and re-encrypt for the trip to the customer's host.

With the first three, you can see in the browser that this is happening. The host will be identified as "cloudflare.com" in the certificate. With "Keyless SSL", which is basically MITM with active cooperation from the end host, it looks at the browser end like you're encrypted end to end, but you're not.

One assumes that all of these are being "lawfully intercepted".
This same platform (SHENANIGANS) developed by the NSA that is deployed by the CIA aboard drones to locate individuals for targeted strikes.

I generally support the mission of the US intelligence community, but it seems my greatest fear is coming true: domestic law enforcement wants to play with the cool toys too. As a result the line between foreign intelligence and domestic law enforcement becomes even more blurred.
There were enormous debates within the nuclear physics community for decades regarding "the German bomb", which many wanted to exist because the possibility of it existing was the justification for the Ally's bomb (bombing Japan was something of an afterthought, albeit one that likely saved tens of thousands of lives on both sides, not that anyone on the Allied side cared about Japanese lives at that point in the war.)

There is a quite good play by English playwright and novelist Michael Frane called "Copenhagen" about Heisenberg's visit to Copenhagen in 1941 to see Bohr, that to my mind convincingly argues for the non-existence of any German bomb program, or at least Heisenberg's complete innocence of it.

SPOILER ALERT: don't read the rest of this comment if you want to see the play and be surprised by the revelation!

==================
==================
==================

I'll bury this in other words so hopefully it'll be difficult for anyone to see if they don't want to, but the basic argument is drawn from the Farm Hall transcripts and the reaction that the German physicists had to the bombings in Japan, which was astonishment, followed fairly quickly by a calculation by Heisenberg that the mass of the bomb might be as little as a thousand kilograms or so. He quickly refined this calculation to something more reasonable, like twenty kilograms, but if he had had any knowledge of or interest in building a bomb he would have done the calculation long before, because a first-order, back-of-the-envelope approximation to the chain reaction based on known properties of uranium is exactly what any physicist would do the very first day they set out to build a bomb. If Heisenberg had been part of a programme to build a bomb he would not have already done that and he wouldn't have needed to do it again. This argument is absolutely compelling to any working physicist, because that is exactly what any of us would do under those circumstances, so there is no doubt that if there was a German bomb program that Heinsenberg was not part of it.
I could not disagree more. Going to university was possibly the worst mistake of my life. What an enormous waste of time to say nothing of money.
I have not witnessed any special social experience at any university or college. People are the same there as anywhere else.
Unless your profession absolutely requires a university granted certification, do not waste your time.
Just use finger up for 1, down for 0. It's a nice way to count.
One of the biggest lock-ins for Google search and YouTube, are the moats around the services (the moat being how hard and expensive it is to build a legitimate competitor).

To compete with Google search you need... perhaps billions in funding to build the scale, speed, accuracy, redundancy, distribution, etc.

To compete with YouTube, you need to spend incredible sums of money to host and stream 720 or 1080 videos; the volume of content uploads; and then to be able to afford all the lawsuits that come with the business regarding content. That's a billion dollars in financing just to get up to proper YouTube punching weight.

The same is true of Facebook. One of its best shields, is the immense cost and scaling challenge to handle a billion users, regardless of if it's gradual. It's incredibly difficult to do well, and with the reliability that Facebook has always had.
I'm not contesting that HR is not your friends. I'm contesting nearly everything else that was said.
When you share strategies, you still have to manually execute them. Not just copy and paste them into a bot and have it play the game by itself with no interaction.

What fun is a game about coding if you don't actually have to do any coding?
What matters is how you determine that user feedback actually indicates a lack of interest.

Shear mentions in the lecture that you should avoid directly asking about features or your product. "You want to learn about what's already in their heads. You want to avoid putting things there." That pretty much precludes doing things like describing your idea for TiVo/Uber to people and asking what they think. Instead, it would make more sense ask about pain points. If all of your interviews indicate that people absolutely adore the process of finding, hailing, riding in, and paying for taxis, then you'd be more justified in determining that there's a lack of interest in something like Uber.

They are protecting that business well, by seeing and acting on mobile early, by acquiring Android and developing it.

I think heads-up displays (eventually) will be the next big thing, because they remove hardware size-limitation (cf. watches), and Google is at least ready for that, with Glass.
If people are universal in their opinions that something isn't going to work, you then have to assess their credibility.

If you decide that the problem is they lack some specific insight that you possess (and you're really sure about that fact), then in combination with their universal negative position, I believe you can be confident that you're on to something. There's a tendency for strikingly new things to be laughed at, or otherwise denounced as absurd; once you notice that effect at play by people, and you can reasonably confirm your own thesis that you know something they don't, it's a great indicator.
Notwithstanding any relevance here, the entire concept of 'manipulation' is to put forth an easy to follow line of logic that is at once intuitively appealing and deliberately false.

It is uintptr_t in size, but it's actually a bit more complicated than that. If the 'value' is a fixnum, the low bit is set to 1 and the bottom 31 or 63 bits of the integer are shifted to the left and stored directly in the VALUE [1].

And then there's a few other bit patterns (all with the low bit set to zero) that also mean embedded values [2], including symbols, where they're actually an index into a string table rather than an actual object pointer.

So a lot of the time, VALUE is anything but a misnomer. Also, the name for this pattern is tagged pointer. It's one of the most notable things ruby borrowed from emacs lisp [3].

Also, the entire point of symbols is that they don't need to be dereferenced (or strcmp'd) to compare them. That's not the slow part of symbol comparison.

With git and github you can have the best of both worlds. merge commits (seperate tree), linearized at the end (--no-ff) or rebased commits (pull --rebase).

1 and 3 have their usecases, 3 is esp. useful if the branch contains only 1-2 commits, and 1 is useful if the branch contains > 10. You can add test information into the merge commit.

I hope github will take more gerrit features into their tracker or allow tracker extensions, so that we can live with github alone. gerrit still is a UI and performance nightmare.

Setting up all those TLS sessions for trackers, one-pixel GIF web bugs, and ad services can add significant overhead. None of the "send it all through one pipe" schemes, such as Google is pushing, help there. Google's solutions work great for Google, whose pages load almost entirely from Googleland, but are not so great for non-walled-garden sites.

Only simpletons would simply tell the truth? I don't understand what you mean.

All I'm saying is that I have direct, personal experience with Sam, and it seems more likely that we didn't visit the moon than that Sam is manipulative in a "I'm telling real lies that people would care about if discovered" sort of way. That'd make pg manipulative by definition, for one, since he appointed Sam as his successor. Everyone is manipulative to an extent, but going on record with "Yes, this really did happen in this way" is the line between social graces and the type of manipulation people spend their lives trying to avoid.

So are we fools for believing them? Or, given the propensity of people to call people sheeple, do you think that maybe the simplest explanation might be the better one here?

DhtmlxScheduler 4.2: New APi Methods, Decrease in Rendering Time and More
This is off-topic, but the agreement between North Korea and the US was made in 1994 (well before there was any "left-leaning" president in South Korea), in which the US agreed to pay for two Light Water Reactors in exchange for the North Korea discontinuing its nuclear program[1].

As expected, South Korea ended up funding most of the cost, while both the US and NK violated the agreement in numerous ways until the deal completely broke down in 2003. The reactors never saw the light of the day. Bummer.

There's a story (not sure how much of it is true) that, shortly before the deal, the Clinton administration went within hours of air strike on North Korean nuclear facilities, while Seoul was completely left in the dark. The realization that South Korea was essentially reduced to a spectator (and a deep pocket) in NK-related matters doubtlessly affected the two following administrations' policy toward North Korea, trying to have at least some of our own leverage. ("The US will take care of us" is not a strategy.)

But we get to blame our "leftist" presidents for their nukes. Niiice...

> Terms of the pact and consequent agreements included ... In exchange two light water reactors would be constructed in North Korea by 2003 at a cost of $4 billion, primarily supplied by South Korea.

And on top of that, "github issues" are missing core functionality, such as attaching files.
To someone from outside the Bay Area, it must seem strange that office location could play such a large issue, but the specifics here are important. First, they were (apparently) requiring remote workers to move to the Bay Area.[1] This is weird in and of itself, and not necessarily with much precedent: it's one thing to decide that you don't want to have a distributed work force and/or grow locally, but it's quite another to decide that you want an extant remote work force to magically become local -- especially when local is the most expensive housing market in the country, and one that is essentially impossible to enter as an established adult.

Then, on top of that, they're moving the office to... Daly City?! Daly City is essentially the worst of all worlds: it's not really readily accessible to anyone -- and it's an undesirable eye sore on top of it. There are places that make no sense to relocate to that still make more sense than Daly City (e.g., Pleasanton, San Rafael, Alameda, Walnut Creek, Burlingame) -- Daly City is almost where you would locate a company if you simply hated the employees. So at that point, you do begin to wonder about the mental stability of the CEO: the choice of Daly City is so completely bizarre that it almost certainly reflects other things amiss in the way decisions are made.

Another useful way to apply EMH to the real world, especially considering that real world markets are not perfectly efficient, is in terms of asymptotic behavior, hyperbolas, mathematical limits. Paradoxically, Warren Buffett's investing performance, far from being a counterexample to EMH, plays an integral part in the drive towards perfect efficiency. But this drive will never be completed.

It's very easy and common to make the leap from EMH, a purely theoretical construct, to asserting that real world markets are perfectly efficient and must therefore behave as EMH entails. This view is mistaken, and the author merely knocks down a straw man with the Buffett counterexample. Instead, in order to use EMH in the real world, one must first judge the efficiency of the market in question.

The broadest, deepest, most active and open markets are the most efficient, which is why "the stock market" (in the US) is a favorite example and testing ground. The idea is not that it's perfectly efficient but that it's the most efficient we can access. The real question is: is it efficient enough for efficiency effects to dominate? A fair view of the evidence (i.e. not hunting for or cherry-picking counterexamples) suggests that efficiency effects do dominate.

EMH is really about the futility of systematic approaches to achieving excess returns. It was conceived (in some part) as a general refutation to systematic investment proposals. Systems could range in sophistication from always bet on black to virtual Warren Buffett. Only where the system sophistication exceeds (in some sense) the current market efficiency is it able to collect. Soon the unsophisticated have no chips, and the efficiency rises accordingly. The bar is raised, over and over, chewing up new challengers and enshrining champions.

That some real world markets are subject to EMH effects also explains the cliché about the highly paid fund manager who performs no better than a dart-throwing monkey. If you find this idea appealing yet EMH is icky, you should check your priors.

"Ted Cruz is incredibly smart"

Really?
Not trying to be rude or anything, but I feel like you should also have a problem with the internet. There are many different websites, I'm sure, a lot for things that are pure evil. I'm actually very curious, why you only choose to boycott Reddit? What's your justification for still using the internet?
IMO the main problem is that the command vocabulary is a mess. Do I need a soft, mixed or hard reset? Can I use "reset" to revert a single file, or do I need "checkout" for that? After years of using and loving git, this still confuses me. It's all logical in terms of git internals, but I'm not thinking in those terms when I want to revert something.
That's less elegant than I hoped for. Still works though!

But the FDA does allow it Walter. 'nutritional supplements' are sold in large quantities with little interference, even when they are clearly thinly-disguised pharmaceutical products, as in this example, discussed elsewhere in the thread: http://awakebrain.com/

I'm not endorsing any of these products (obviously, I hope) but they're pharmaceuticals, some of which require a prescription in their originating country of Russia. You haven't explained why the FDA will not allow other manufacturers to sell products with similarly vague claims, merely asserted it.

Peltzman's statistics show that new drug development dropped in half in the US coincident with the 1962 amendments.

Which were also coincident with the Thalidomide/birth defect problem, to which the regulations were partly a response. Is it not equally possible that drug companies felt more cautious in the wake of that fiasco? I hate to trot out the chestnut about correlation and causation, but I think it applies here.

> less tightly regulated markets
Can you give an example drug market in a 1st world country where this is true?

No. I said less tightly regulated market; requiring it be a 1st world economy is shifting the goalposts a bit on your part. It would require far more work than I am willing to put into a HN comment to quantitatively measure the regulatory burden in in different developed countries; I've also ready provided yo with examples of differences in the regulatory regime of 6 European countries above.
