I play Go and chess, and I think of it this way: the best players may have won more than others, but they have also lost more than others, because they have simply played more games. Frequent loss or rejection is a necessary step to goodness. This also applies to business, the opposite sex, and most anything else that might matter to you.

Or, to paraphrase many an artist and CEO: if I have not failed today, it means I have not been ambitious enough.

> When the vast majority of their output is targeting a mostly male demographic, and being sold almost exclusively in an environment that attracts mostly men, that may be so. But it is a situation of their own making by making their product offering so niche.

I think you've got the order of things mixed up. No company intentionally wants to cut their customer base in half. They've tried to attract female readers. They'd be stupid not to! Women just aren't attracted to comic books.

And don't forget that comics _used_ to be sold in book stores, gas stations, etc. Now they aren't. You know why? Because across the board hardly anyone, relatively speaking, reads comic books. They're niche because they're just not that popular in general.

> ... in the US. Unsurprisingly, given that they mostly sell products not targeting women... in the US.

Because in the US, women don't care about comic books. It's a chicken and egg debate for the ages, clearly.
A bit surprised it doesn't mention the use of curly braces. Perhaps they assume their "state of the art" static code analysis tools will find potential issues (like Apple's goto fail failure).
... and good luck naming all those functions.
Another anecdote: I had the same experience with my new Gigabyte laptop. OpenBSD 5.6 supported the hardware better than FreeBSD or Linux (Qubes-OS, which is based on Fedora). I ended up running OpenBSD on my laptop and FreeBSD on my servers: one leased physical box with lots of jails, and one hosted VM for redundancy.

I'd like to run OpenBSD on my servers, but acquiring the dozen or so machines I need for service separation is just not cost effective or resource efficient.
Great article for overcoming social anxiety
Breaking news! Father takes 7-year old daughter to a comic shop for older, male audiences. Daughter is offended! Misogyny, etc! Males are creeps! Sexualizing women in comics is offensive to women and therefore immoral! It's not like women can choose not to read such comics. It is a sign that you live a life of highest quality if you can worry about sexualization in fictional comics.
I guess in the Basic example, you need to put comma after the easIn and easOut function.

sequence(

easOut( :id, :time, { :from }, { :to }) <-- and Here
sleep( :time ) // Wait utill time is passed

No problem. It depends on where you are looking for a job. NYC and San Fran will be higher for instance. I don't know much about the foreign markets. But I would say starting salary around $60k-$75k. You might be able to get more, but I doubt it. All this is assuming your portfolio is well stocked.
Well, for the past 10 to 20 years kids have been reading comics less and less because they have TV and the Internet. Kids don't even go outside as much as they used to. Things change, and the comic book companies are adapting as best they can.

That's a reasonable point. As a store owner he's probably trying to target the demographic that's buying the most comics. If the majority of his custom comes from male teens then that's the type of comic he'll stock.

Of course there's nothing stopping him from trying to stock comics for other groups, as he had stock of younger comics and those aimed at girls, but it can't be expected that he provides equal footing if he's simply trying to make money from his main group of customers.

When I go shopping, it's nice when I see a shop that has a gluten / wheat free section. But I don't expected them to have a large aisle dedicated to it if they're not seeing enough custom to validate it.
Absolutely; this isn't really a defence in so much as it is attempting to nullify the prosecution evidence. They can get away with the argument it's introducing reasonable doubt that Ulbricht is the only candidate for being DPR, whilst the ulterior motive is really to establish the DHS agent as an unreliable witness.
Google and Apple in $415M 'non-poaching' settlement offer
I agree that there's an awful lot of comics aimed squarely at the adolescent male, but at least in the comic store that my 8 year old daughter likes to go to, there's also a fair amount that she loves.

Her favourites at the moment are the Happy Happy Clover series, the Powerpuff Girls and Adventure Time, but there's quite a few others that she's enjoyed as well. That's alongside all of the books and merchandise for things like Studio Ghibli, and (nerdy) girl-friendly sci-fi like Dr Who and Star Wars.

As she gets older, I can see that she'll probably start to struggle to find stuff she still wants to read, but if that comic book store is offering nothing more than Hello Kitty and Monster High for young girls, you might want to see if you can find a better comic book store.
Rethinking My Life (On the Internets)
How about knowing what things are easy or hard [1].

I'm guessing a lot of business owners might dismiss good ideas as being too difficult/expensive when they're actually easy to program.

No it's a good thing to allow people to make their own choices about how they live and how they treat themselves. Not allowing that is unethical.
Honestly, the DRM and security update aspects are probably acceptable restrictions – in that we know what Apple's policies are, and these are unreasonable in that context.

If course, not being permitted to talk about the product or agreement is stupid.
The title is misleading, larger databases already have text analytics.
HyperCard was a revelation for me. I was a pretty accomplished programmer (so I thought, famous last words) on MS-DOS and stuff of that ilk. Then I went to work at a company that used the Apple Mac.

Some of the engineers had installed a programming language or two, and bought all of the volumes of Inside Macintosh and the typical pattern was to get just past Hello World and give up. The system was so complex and the documentation was so bad that nobody could wrap their head around it.

I'm sure Windows was just as bad, but Windows came with a stodgy but lightweight API called MS-DOS. The majority of small throw-away engineering apps (like cross assemblers) continued to be written for DOS for almost a decade, and only gradually migrated to Windows.

HyperCard obviously broke down the complexity wall of programming a windowed computer environment. I loved HyperCard -- even wrote a cross assembler in it, and a crude but workable printed circuit design program in SuperCard.

Perhaps an additional tribute to HyperCard is that folks really didn't get into Windows programming until something similar came along for Windows -- Visual Basic. The other tool that opened up programming for people was of course Excel.
Blameless postmortems work phenomenally at Etsy which is a pretty low risk setting (after reading Sidney Dekker's book The Field Guide to Understanding Human Error [highly recommended] I would say that blameless post-mortems are even more important in a high-risk setting). Except failure isn't the correct word - the book makes the case that these are natural artefacts of complex systems.

Grew up in South America. I read Disney comics. I found and tried to get into Marvel comics when I got older, but couldn't get into them. Too much stuff needing me to read other series ("hey if you want to know how The Hulk got here and saved IronMan from this peril, read xxx chapter y") to know what happened.
I wish someone from the FreeBSD project with authority and expertise would speak out instead of being silent when these discussions come up; a clearly communicated security roadmap would be nice. I suspect there's no desire to start internet flamewars or heated discussions about FreeBSD's security situation as they're weary of the discussions.

OpenBSD pioneers a lot of security research and best practices but I think many people get misled by all the hand waving and subsequently have more faith in certain features and less knowledge. I'm a victim myself.

As an example, I recently brought up W^X and wanted to know what the status / stance was and was met with a healthy dose of skepticism. As I was told, "W^X is very useful for debugging but not for security as the kernel has a read-write 1:1 map of all physical memory... you can still write to memory that will later be executed, you just have to use a different address" (not a direct quote) This was completely new information to me that nobody seems to talk about.

Likewise when I asked about securelevel=1 -- I was met with "securelevel is more likely to be removed entirely than enabled by default ... not convincing because there's no coherent model ... easy to work around as an attacker unless the system is very, very carefully configured, which means it's locked down beyond usability for most configurations ... though it's useful for jails since you can still do maintenance from the jailhost"

tl;dr I think the FreeBSD devs who can call the shots are more interested in ASLR and pushing Capsicum hard.
There are probably a lot of use cases for version control in the non programming world where people could benefit.

I'm guessing people waste time copying and versioning files, and emailing updates back and forth, losing old changes, etc.
How did you search? I just searched for "Yoko Tsuno" on that site and they seem to be available.
Taking her to that particular one might be, but my local one caters pretty well for the pre-teen girl market (as well as the more adult themed stuff). My daughter drags me in there every time we go into town.

So just to be clear, the thesis here is that we should not secure DNS in any way, correct? Or is part 2, in a series of articles going to detail a different solution?

In other words, is the objection to DNSSEC the idea, or the implementation?

Lastly, what is our best hope for getting rid of CA's?
> Never. Why would one stop? It is a good thing to stop people from doing bad things.
> It's not a moralization that drugs are bad for you. It's an objective medical fact of injuries to the body, psyche, collateral damage to bystanders etc.

Overeating, sitting at a desk all day, consuming alcohol, smoking, tanning, etc. all can negatively impact an individual's health. Should those activities, and many more, also be banned?

Acting morally is an important thing, yes, but the problem is that there is no one definition of morality. How should we all behave? By your standards? By mine? The superset of everyone's personal concept of morality would allow and prohibit pretty much everything all at once.

One reasonable(?) baseline for morality could be the golden rule: don't do things that will hurt others or prevent others from freely living their life — i.e. don't murder, injure or enslave others, steal, etc. Or... don't be a dick.

The world is not black and white; it's black and grey.
How you deliver information is often as important as the information itself. It's never just about the facts.
And I guess that's the point; if you can create that doubt, even if it's ridiculous, in the minds of the people who are deciding Ulbricht's guilt or innocence then you've won.
Sounds like an American problem to me. There's plenty of sexualization in works by authors with left-wing inclinations - though usually not so gratuitous like those comics.

A good on-topic example is the comics series Louis La Guigne, which had sexualization (like this cover[1]) but a heavy left-wing slant (the protagonist, among other things, is involved in the resistances against the fascist and nazi regimes in Europe).

Ah, it seems I misinterpreted that paragraph. You mean to say that you're unlikely to get caught working while you're there on an otherwise legal tourist visa, right? I agree that it's less risky, but I'm still not sure I'd recommend it. Either way, sorry to jump on you.
The big feature of Photoshop is that it's Photoshop. A typical designer has dozens of expensive plugins for Photoshop, their PSDs only work in Photoshop and they only know how to use Photoshop.

Changing would be expensive and risky, and would only be worthwhile if lots of their colleagues and clients were also moving.

So Adobe has intentionally created a lot of barriers to exit, and even if an amazing good open-source package came out today, it would struggle to gain traction.

Also lets add some cool details about LiveCode:

* It can build apps for Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, Android and iOS.

* It has a web engine similar to PHP that allows to use HyperCard like language mixed with HTML code.

* LiveCode authoring environment runs on Mac OS X, Windows and Linux. Older versions run on Mac OS Classic as well and can generate powerPC code.

* They are working on HTML5 deployment.

* The language is dual licensed. You can have the GPL community edition for free with source and/or a commercial edition.

* Its one of the best development community out there. They've been doing this for decades and are very friendly.

Early(?) Simpsons had Bart going to the comic book store all the time, and he's a 10 year old. Sounds like that part of the show has now aged!
I do find it worrying the amount of parents who dismiss a form of entertainment as "for kids" in their mindset. I've seen it a lot with video games, where a parent will buy a game for their child who is not even a teen and the game itself is rated for adults only (Call of Duty a prime example, once I saw it with Saints Row).

It's a shame the article author didn't bother to take this into account.

Reading file line by line may seem like a trivial problem, but in node, there is no straightforward way to do it. There are a lot of libraries using Transform Streams to achieve it, but it seems like a overkill, so I've wrote simple version using only the filesystem module of node.
Yeah, I don't see where in your article you encourage overstaying visas!

I spent the last 7 years living in pacific South America, during the last 4 of which I hacked remotely several months each year.

In the rare event that someone is targeted for working in-country, it's almost always because they are doing local work. The infamous example are some of the hippy burnouts 'teaching English' in the cities along the coast. Sometimes those types have a) overstayed their visa, and b) are working illegally in the country in a job that lots of Ecuadoreans would prefer to have. And so they get blackmailed by the owner of the English school! (This actually happens).

You would have to be pretty brazen to tempt investigation for working over the internet. Like, if you painted a giant logo on the side of your house with your business name or something.

But re: the visa issue, and visa runs:

Many countries that allow US citizens to come in as tourists on their passports have totally legal extensions that you can file to the automatic passport visa. In the case of Ecuador, for instance, this lets you legally spend 9 months of every year there without doing more than filing a paper and paying $180 a couple of months after coming into the country.

So you take a 3-month trip each year, and otherwise have a stable home base to work out of. :)

His work was ignored, ironically, through a lack of scientific reasoning - by which the critics meant there was no theoretical basis for his evidence. It was taken seriously when Pasteur provided the theory, however, the failure to recognise the idea advanced evidence-based medicine - which is where we are today. So, ignoring him actually advanced science ;-)

Contemporary reaction to Ignaz Semmelweis

Semmelweis's critics claimed his findings lacked scientific reasoning. The failure of the nineteenth-century scientific community to recognize Semmelweis's findings, and the nature of the flawed critiques outlined below, helped advance a positivist epistemology, leading to the emergence of evidence-based medicine.

I'm using DANE on most of mine, but the public-key pinning + CA usage of it - so an MITM would need to either steal signing keys, or a pocket CA and to swap my DS record. Not impossible but it's an extra barrier (instead of a replacement for the PKIX). With free certs on the near horizon from Let's Encrypt as well, then the two together allow two independent barriers, one with certificate transparency, and that may work quite well for domain validation in practice.

The country that owns/operates the TLD I'm under, or the registrar, can already swap my DNS, but DNSSEC makes it harder for others to. I don't know what more we can do about that - probably more in the realms of I2P or Tor, etc.

DNSSEC has definitely got some problems. The reflection problem, for one, which needs careful mitigation. And yes, it could use modern crypto badly, but that's waiting on standardisation; signatures are a way off in CFRG and then there's all the HSMs. It may be better as part of a nutritious layering breakfast; DNSCurve on top, maybe?

You won't see me arguing for plaintext anything, however, so if unsigned plaintext is the alternative, bugger that. QUANTUMDNS is just way too easy as a man-on-the-side otherwise.

BGP is a total clusterfuck and needs a lot of security it doesn't have - that's about all I can say as to that.
The only chance Ulbricht seems to have at this stage, admittedly from where I am sitting, seems to be one where his team employs "defence through obscurity". If they can bog the trial down in technical details, question the witness credibility, and point fingers toward others then it will distract from harder evidence to counter.

It's a fairly common trial strategy, and sometimes it works.

Well, funnily enough we're having this discussion on a website devoted to startups. So think of it from a business point of view. What would any of us here say if someone described the current state of affairs and strategy for their startup as "we started off as a successful company but we've been bleeding users and losing demographics, so we're going to cater exclusively to those demographics that still use our product, even if it further alienates everybody else"?

Look at a good example of a company doing the exact opposite: Lego was in dire straits a while back, and managed to make a comeback by diversifying — getting into the video game market brought kids back, and made the bricks a viable business again.

"Oh we're catering to our core audience" at some point becomes an absurd argument.
Without piracy Adobe would die. It's essentially their noncommercial subscription plan and keeps Photoshop available to students etc. It's a part of Adobe's business model.
>Saying that quantum mechanics is an inherently statistical theory is a blatant misrepresentation.

Every axiomatic QM formulation (for example, [0]) I have ever seen has an axiom a statistical statement, usually about observables.

Can you provide a set of axioms reproducing QM without such an axiom?

If not, then it's inherently a statistical theory.

In your example, where a single electron lands is completely governed by a probability distribution that is determined by the setup of the test.

I, French, once chatted with a German and a Russian guy. We've all been students in excellent universities/schools.

The German said: "My studen room was so small, like 16sqm, you could just fit a desk, a bed, a shower and a sink."

I, French, said, believing I had a tougher experience: "I know what it looks like: We were 2 per room for the same size. In winter, heating was on and off, we had to pay attention not to touch the walls while sleeping, otherwise the dew would wet our blankets."

Then the Russian guy came... They were 3 people in the same surface. Heating was optional. At the coldest of the winter, the whole building's electricity would cut off for the night because it couldn't sustain the student's heating units. They didn't have showers at all. They had three common "bathrooms" for the building with sinks only. They could use them at will in the evening, but they had to take turns for the mornings. As in, Mondays and Thursdays. It was a reputated school in Russia.
