Having grown up with California's carpool lanes (a lane reserved for vehicles with two or more riders) I've always expected the number of commuters that are able to take advantage of it has to be minimal. In my experience, having that additional passenger only happens on special occasions; it never happens on the morning commute. This is what the carpool lane has always needed to be successful; networking.

Maybe and you should state that as such.

Because Reading is Fundamental
I'm always very cautious of taking what opinion from HN (and others in 'tech') and extrapolating them out to the general population, so I read what you say (and my own opinion) with a grain of salt.

But like, Uber is in 230 cities around the world. Here in Australia I believe they added over 1000 new drivers over the past month. Here, Uber is the alternative. There is no Lyft or Sidecar - mainly because alternatives are too scared of legal action from government - ridesharing is essentially illegal here, but Uber plays the we're-waiting-for-the-law-to-catch-up card regardless.

I find it quite ironic that HTTPS Everywhere is arguing HTTPS is not safe enough to offer them a reasonable guarantee of integrity.
Haha. Those are EMC tests, not EMV.

I've never heard anyone refer to it as EMV. Is this perhaps a German language thing? Does Electro Magnetic Compatibility translate to EMV in German?!

Debian has a pretty nice mirroring system. Not only are all packages signed, but the Release file (which includes checksums of package lists) is also signed, preventing a mirror from omitting packages. For repositories which receive security updates (say, wheezy-updates), the index is valid for only few days in the future, which helps to prevent mirrors from withholding security updates [1].

If a mirror isn't updated, the user is eventually warned during updates:

> E: Release file for http://mirrors/debian/dists/wheezy-updates/Release is expired (invalid since 1h 20min 30s). Updates for this repository will not be applied.

It mostly negates the need for https mirrors for authenticity, although many still offer it. To my knowledge, most projects with mirror networks operate similar to this.

[1] e.g. https://mirrors.ocf.berkeley.edu/debian/dists/wheezy-updates... has the pseudo-header Valid-Until: Tue, 02 Dec 2014 20:50:35 UTC
S Korea just a generation ago was a developing world, with a harsh dictator.

Two generations ago, it was really at the rock bottom nation on the globe in terms of any ranking you can think of (poverty/violence/dictatorship/low-education/etc). Pick any poor nation in Asia/Africa and it was probably doing better than S Korea.

Remember these:
History of Korean War,
there's no much natural resource to sell off,
with 3 powerful nations (who all have either invaded Korea in the past and view it as a potential target) nearby,
with N Korea 30 miles from Seoul, AND
(get this) no escape route over land in case of a military conflict (S Korea is pretty much an island now and you canNOT walk/drive to flee S Korea),

they better really really get their house in order to survive.

Younger S Korean sociologists/commentators lament about how the intense competition is driving people to commit suicides (yes tragic) but they forget many, many more people died/suffered from poverty/basic-medical-care not that long ago.

With all these in context, no wonder they work.

Btw, it's really really said for older S Korean that are passing these days. They really suffered hard lives and just when their older kids/grandkids are enjoying abundant lives, but they can't really enjoy as much due to age.

HTTPS might be better than getting a website in cleartext, but you'd have to be a madman to claim that HTTPS is safe, sane, or secure.
I think the man to discover conservation of charge is more than just close to a scientist :)
You mean, like Pasteur (5 francs, 1966), Berlioz (10 francs, 1972), Travail et Science (20 francs, 1939), Le Verrier (50 francs, 1945), Saint-Exupéry (50 francs, 1992), Descartes (100 francs, 1942), Gustave Eiffel (200 francs, 1995), Pascal (500 francs, 1968), Pierre et Marie Curie (500 francs, 1994)?
The difference is that signed code lets you keep the signing key offline, and therefore it can be much more secure.

For a concrete example, consider the case where the server is compromised and an attacker wants to insert malware. HTTPS does nothing at all to help, here. The attacker has control over the server and can make it serve whatever it wants, and since the server still has its normal certificate and key, the attacker's malware-infested code will show up just like legitimate stuff would. If the code was signed using a key that isn't kept on the server (normally a code signing key will be kept on a developer's computer, and often protected by a password so it rarely exists in memory unencrypted) then the attacker can't force the server to serve malware that will be accepted by downloaders.

Generally speaking, torque increases are associated with increased stroke where horsepower increases are associated with increased piston surface area.

Running a ship engine with a long stroke (to increase torque) serves to reduce stress on the parts and increase lifespan since these engines have very long life expectancies.

Also, you are correct that the lower rpm engine would deliver more efficiency but not necessarily because it is larger/runs slower. It is more efficient because a smaller engine running at a higher rpm would have to work harder to generate the same power to move the ship and its load and would have the undesirable side effect of sacrificing longevity.

Thanks. I apologize for coming back hard on it. People online so often seem to be intentionally talking past each other. But I do see why you reacted the way you did.

To be clear, my intent was to take a situation where the condescension of the question was clear so that you could then see how it could apply elsewhere. So I picked a situation where you'd (hopefully!) have that immediate understanding.

I feel "mentally ill" is a problematic term for just the reasons you imply. Illness implies a desire to be well, and it's natural to want to help people who are ill.

Assuming someone is unhappy with their situation implies they should be unhappy with it, that something's wrong with it. And if they aren't unhappy, and they're constantly being told they should be (indirectly, through the question), you can see how it could be very frustrating and perhaps even harmful to them.

Some people do need help. Those who are obviously incapable of taking care of their basic needs.

A million years ago I dated a woman who worked as in home care for a seriously mentally ill woman. The woman being cared for had someone with her, 24 hours a day, basically making sure she didn't hurt herself and was fed and so on. The woman got to live in her own home, and the state paid for the in-home care. Which to be honest, was barely-trained college age women making like $10 an hour.

I had mixed feelings about the situation. She probably could have gotten "better" help in some sort of facility. But on the other hand, she was given the dignity of the minimal help necessary for her to get by. Does that make sense? From that perspective, I thought it was a humane thing for society to do.

It would also be good if users could install the app but without approving the full set of permissions. Developers would have to catch an exception, but it's worth it. (Supposedly with one of the recent Android releases this feature was planned and made it to some users but Google quickly reverted.)
That is not accurate at all. These people can and did do lots of research in academia and had plenty of data. They obviously get paid a lot more in industry, however.
Good article, but why is Rothko mentioned in the same breath as Fra Angelico?
I have a theory that sometimes mental illness is manifestation of a naturally evolved attribute gone too far. Sort of a "cancer of thinking" if you will.

In this case I would say it is the the ability to perceive and relate patterns. A powerful attribute of our species and one of the defining features of intelligence I believe. But then it gets out of control and the pattern matching starts matching things that don't actually match.

Only a wild theory. I have no reference nor training in the subject. Just trying to match patterns:)
Sure, we can clarify that on the site. (Thanks for the feedback! It's become pretty clear that our supporting content/documentation needs a lot of work.)

The intent isn't to protect from certain classes of entities, so much as to absolutely protect with a certain degree of confidence. That is to say, Cyph is a convenient tool that probably keeps your secrets from, say, China; but if you're in a life and death situation you should consider carefully whether you have better options.

That being said, now that I think about it, there isn't an obviously better alternative in such a circumstance that I could recommend. Pidgin OTR is probably what I would have chosen a few years ago, and for now it's maybe still what I'd pick, but based on what I've been seeing in the OTR mailing lists and the Vice article I linked in another comment, it's really not a great option. TextSecure might be a good alternative if using it on a phone isn't too big a problem. There's always tried and true PGP, though where applicable the OTR protocol has much more interesting security properties IMO.

tl;dr: There's really no silver bullet, but Cyph has as good a chance as just about any alternative of protecting your secrets. I wouldn't stake my life on it quite yet, but I wouldn't stake my life on any existing alternative either. If things go as planned and we execute well on the next steps, it shouldn't be too long before I'd consider Cyph strictly better than any alternative.
Once you believe in God it's all downhill from there?
I'm a bit skeptical.

I'm not sure that a creative enterprise like entrepreneurship is amenable to any sort of factory model. While theoretically it could be a bit like drug discovery -- make lots of permutations, test them, iterate, goal seek -- the problem is with the human factors. Companies aren't organic molecules that can be reliably produced and then re-produced. They're made out of people.

I suspect that these entities would become echo chambers dominated by cronyism. The term "stars" already gives me that feel. The incentive structure gets all wacked out... it ends up being more about status within the startup ecosystem than shipping stuff that works and that the market likes. The SV ecosystem in particular already has this problem, and concentrating it more into a more institutional model might make it worse.

I think the same problem haunts modern-day academic "factory science," where people who specialize in getting grants are very good at getting grants and churning out very mundane, plodding science.

The best accelerators escape some of this problem by accepting open applications from anyone, anywhere.
Here, I'll speed it up for you with this conclusion:

Unless people are downloading from source, verifying signed checksums, and building their crypto applications from source they are just as susceptible to any of the issues that browser crypto is.

Prebuilt executable? Can't be trusted. A modified version could have been substituted at download time for a particular user.

Web site where signed checksums are published? Can't be trusted. It could have been hacked or altered.

Checksum embedded in executable which checks itself at run time? Can't be done.

Trust is the issue. Trust NEVER goes away. The only way to know for sure is if you compile all your own code. But wait, remember Ken Thompson on Trusting Trust? You had better be building your own compilers as well...

So basically you're saying that no one but computer experts who build their entire toolchain from scratch should be using any sort of application that uses cryptography.
Probably, the point is that European and USA folks have different ways to measure success.

I guess that for a Scandinavian or a Swiss guy, working 60 hours a week, and not being able to see their kids grow up, would be a personal failure. No matter how many sport cars he owns.
Hehe. Yeah. As said, it's a German thing. EMV stands for "elektromagnetische Verträglichkeit" which translates to EMC.

He has a mental illness... but, without it, would he have that creativity and focus to make something like his OS? I doubt it.

Diddo. My understanding is if you're doing an LLC, you should just do it in the state you're operating in not Delaware.
I see what you're saying, and I have to add that such boundary (if such is even well defined) isn't necessarily limited to "spiritualist" and not neuroscientists (at least from what I have seen…) or any other groups of people when such groups are often arbitrarily defined by any given society.

Consciousness is ill defined scientifically (and even among the many concepts that practitioners of what people equate to meditation have been arguing about for thousands of years) and if you asked the layman what they equated to what consciousness is, one would probably take away the same amount of information as to what it is compared to asking neuroscientists.

People throughout the times have had many ideas that were seen as rational and seem to be based on insights supported by evidence, until later on people learned that such beliefs/ideas were irrational and the supported evidence was dubious. The people who lived and died when such ideas/beliefs were not irrational will never know it, same with those who died thinking it helped them/such things were in their personal interests no matter how "true" such things may have been for x period of time.

Maybe if we seek didn't limit ourselves to what things can and can't be, "receiver of consciousness" wouldn't seem so irrational any more than what people now equate to popular science that at some time was equally as irrational but is no longer questioned to the same degree which could be equally as irrational at some point in the future.

But yeah, some sr. research scientist phd who studied ap physics and helped build quantum computers and now trying to apply the some methods they learned in a field to psychology/neuroscience where the current "kings of the hill" use surveys and more surveys with the occasional cutting some people/animals open, is probably not going to want to entertain ideas that relate qed systems and qm theories to meditation with meditation instructors not versed in such to any conversational degree, when they have a hard enough time trying to explore such things with neuroscientists they work with who just got some big funding from politicking that in the scheme of things probably wont advance the field any more than next dubious publication that gets plastered over social media and perceived as fact.

I would argue that Rothko is one of the most talented painters ever to live. Whereas everyone else before him was trying to show off how good they were at painting, he was focused on making stuff that actually looked good on people's walls. That sort of empathy for users is the same key ingredient that's behind so many really successful entrepreneurs.
If the accelerator doesn't provide any seed funding, then I agree with the gist of this article. I thought that accelerators had seed funding as part of the normal set of benefits in exchange for equity in your startup. With no funding the accelerator doesn't really have any skin in the game and are playing you like a lottery ticket.

The Baffling and Beautiful Wormhole Between Branches of Math
I'd say they are rather extraordinary claims, given the differences between the Nth Degree prototypes and the Rohinni prototype shown on the website.

Nth Degree's product honestly looks far more plausible, given its unusual characteristics (speckled luminance distribution, blue cast, restriction to clearly separated strips). It's considerably harder to find Rohinni's compromise-free prototype credible, with its consistent, diffuse, apparently-broad-spectrum light. But that just makes it even harder to believe an accusation that they ordered a few Nth Degree strips and went to town with them.
