Are you sure about 'relatively innocuous'? My impression was that any depiction was extraordinarily offensive to most Muslims, not just extremists. I don't think the cartoonists deserved to die, but I thought their intentions were to inflame in one way or another.
This is handy, but you can very easily do this automatically with fiddler. It automatically swaps out all of the certs though.
Hey! I've worked in business development for nearly a decade, as a consultant and in the corporate world. I've also started my own startup so I'd love to help in any way I can- I've learned a lot through the process.

In order to help you out, I need to know a little more about your business. What are you building and how have you determined demand?

(This will help me get a general idea of the path you need to take and how to get there)

In terms of books- I've never really read one that can replace experience. Unfortunately the times I've learned most have been times I've tried and failed.

What I highly recommend, though, is a business plan. Check out any old business plan template on the internet- I've written many and I recommend that you do a brief plan (1-10 pages) and focus on your financial statement. It will help you sniff out all the hidden costs you wouldn't typically think about (electricity, depreciation, office space- even if it's in your house) so that you can get a clear idea of how much you need to make in order see growth.

Feel free to get in touch on HN or email p@libertyfeminine.com and good luck!

I've posted something online that almost got me fired. No racists remarks, no hate, it was just some techincal info I shouldn't have shared.

The power that a few sentences can have is sometimes terrifying.
Further, when the power goes out you limit your consumption. With a connected home, running on battery power could widen the acceptable temperature range, run only one bulb in a multi-bulb array, or even disconnect certain outlets in a home.

Even cutting to 80%, you get an extra hour. 50%, and you've got 4. I am having a hard time finding refrigerator specifics, but around 1000KWh annually seems to be on the high side. This gives you 1.5 days on the 4.25KWh battery.
"Captions are a really easy way to achieve that."

Not that easy. Script -> timing -> correctly muxing, right? Not super hard (I'm an old school, from the very early '90s anime fan), yeah, but what about cheap?

Then to move it into the context of this lawsuit, a likely outcome is red tape to put anything with a audio track on the net, even if it's just to determine that close captioning it is not required (and let me invoke the slippery slope here), or doing that a certain sufficient quality, will be allowed.

it’s hard to be a habitual offender while in prison

To the contrary, it's rather easy because:

+ many violations of prison administrative rules
constitute crimes.

+ prison is full of people inclined toward crimes
so it is easy to find partners in crime.

+ there's plenty of time to think up crimes.

+ protecting oneself from harm often requires
committing a crime.
Yes, it's a deliberately open ended question to get a feel for which algos people are using for which problems.
Sounds like they're saying, "send us content or money". Does anyone see something deeper?
I think Hipmunk (the site founded by some of the Reddit founders) works like that. It's not unusual though. Here in the UK, things like insurance and utilities are increasingly sold in this way (we call them "price comparison" sites). I believe(?) Shazam also makes most of its money by referrals to iTunes and Amazon.
How differently is linear regression than PCA? I understand the procedure and methods are completely different, but isn't linear regression also going to give the same solution on these data sets?
This is truly fantastic.

Excuse me for being daft, but how do you transform back into 'what does this mean'?

For instance, in ex 3, we see that N. Ireland is an outlier. It wasn't obvious to me that the cause was potatoes and fruit.

How does PCA help you with the fundamental meaning?
Indeed, but the probabilities are still so low that it's like a lottery. Obviously it's not an actual lottery, just similar to one in the sense of low probability high reward.
I think it's a hilarious joke.
I didn't even know about that, but I'll keep using it till my computer falls apart!
I'm just gonna be lazy and link to what I wrote the last time the Rat Park page came up on HN:

It comes up a lot, maybe because the result is kind of positive and aligns well with HN's crowds drug liberal views?

The RP experiment wrt morphine addiction in mice has not been replicated. Also, afaik, Bruce Alexander had a hypothesis about drug addiction, designed an experiment to prove his hypothesis. Performed the experiment, measured the results and found that they confirmed his hypothesis. It's not a good way to do research. The results of the Stanford Prison Experiment and the Milgram experiments should be discredited for the same reason. Because their results were tainted by their designer.

Extraordinary claims requires extraordinary proofs. That mice wouldn't become addicted to morphine is most certainly an extraordinary claim.

In order for one to suggest that there is no legitimate argument against gay marriage, you'd have to rationalize what it is that we in the west know better than those living in less-wealthy, less-industrialized societies outside our corner of the globe.

Most of those other societies incorporate substantial religious influence in their legislative and/or judicial processes. It doesn't require "rationalization" to demonstrate that this is harmful to human progress.

I believe you misunderstand my comments.

A Datomic transaction is also an entity, with associated facts about that transaction. You can add custom facts, such as your application's domain event, directly to the transaction entity to further describe the event/transaction. You can then query over the transactions as you would any other data. In CQRS/ES terms, it is an event store with snapshots on every event without the cost of duplicate data.

The technical issue appears to be that their event stream was of a high enough throughput that the indexing caused a space issue.
What do you mean by "half-life" in this context ?

Looks good. I would try some changes: People read from left to right, so I would put the text on the left and the image on the right. Also, you have lots of white space; I would condense things a little so I can scan quicker. Look at the news app Circa. I really like their format.
Yet there's no way to tell FB about problems without having an account (that I could find in 5 minutes). I found potential phishing attempts in the Windows Store, suggested apps right from the start menu. MS refuses to do anything about phishing/scams on their store, and FB offers no way to contact them (I tried a few email addresses like legal@, to no response).
in my opinion moore's law is already fine for another 15 years.

(15 years / 18 months = 10, so 10 iterations). moore's law is about transistor count.

the reason it's fine to have up to 1024x as many transistors (2^10, since moore's law is about doubling):

>"Moore's law" is the observation that, over the history of computing hardware, the number of transistors in a dense integrated circuit doubles approximately every two years.

oh, I see it says 2 years ,not even 18 months as i'd thought.

anyway the reason it will continue just fine is that we are using one tiny few-millimeter slice (plane) to print transistors onto whereas obviously by 2035 there will be multiple layers (3d). this is totally obvious since

https://www.google.com/search?q=c+%2F+4+ghz

and we're already at 7.49481145 centimeters travelled in a clock cycle. etchings are at 14 nm already. a molecule of carbon nanotube has its width at 4 nm. carbon itself (the atom) only has an atomic radius of 0.14 nm, and you're not going to be inserting your etchings into the quarks and protons of atoms and hoping to do your calculation there.

it's completely obvious that before very long we'll take those 8 centimeters light is travelling per cycle @ 4 ghz and have it other than zigzag across a plane, a single slice, when we can stack thousands of them.

there's nothing wrong with moore's law except the fact that people are too good at shrinking die size, so it'll be a while for them to think inside the box. (outside the plane.)
You were mislead, perhaps intentionally. Be professional but find another (better) job and get on with your life.

A lot of people who work or worked for crappy companies will tell you that you have to "pay your dues". After all, if they had to, it's only "fair" that you should to. I disagree with that premise.

While it is certainly common to have to "pay your dues", I have never had to. Work for a small young company with pressing software needs and there will be lots of "green field" work even for the "new" guys. Work for the Amazons of the world and your chances are much slimmer I think.

Just this week, I was about to tell a company that I would work with them "if they had a challenging project". When my friend saw what I'd written he said: "No, no, don't write that. Just tell them you'll take the job. Sometimes you need to take work that isn't fun."

I told him" "Well, maybe you do." :-)
I don't wish to comment on how sensitive people get. The masses have spoken, and there is nothing she could of done except face that fact and deal with it responsibly.

I do have a problem with one getting fired over a joke - debatable how "funny" it is - on a personal Twitter account. Would a tenured professor be fired over it? Nah....
Because running multiple TCP connections in parallel plays havoc with TCP congestion control and also plays poorly with the TCP slow-start logic. Every TCP connection begins its receive window again and so it starts small, so fetching many moderately-sized or large resources (think images) will cost you many round trips you didn't need to spend.
Everything is offensive to someone. In fact, the sentiment in these comments that a single bad joke on twitter should blow up publicly and cost someone their job I find disgusting. The trick is to not invoke mob justice every time you're offended by any little thing.

Is anyone else kind of shocked that this particular vulnerability exists given that Facebook employs "the best and brightest" in the industry?

This isn't one of those vulnerabilities that relies on numerous seemingly unrelated steps and makes you wonder how the person ever thought it up.

Instead, this is security 101 stuff. Facebook simply wasn't making sure userFor(appKey) == owner(albumId). I would've assumed obvious holes like this don't even exist in the API. So, props to the author trying it out. Wish I had.

I do not have demand based pricing which is reserved for business customers or persons consuming a crap load more power than I.

>>At the end of the day

the Power Companies are doing their level best to penalize home use Solar, they want to charge home owners through the nose if they "sell" power back to the grid eliminating any costs savings and in come cases making a roof top solar project more expensive than just buy power from the mafia err power companies.

Distributed non-grid power should be the goal, Grid power needs to be phased out.
On the other hand, with Chip & PIN, if someone uses the Chip and PIN they will claim that they don't have to protect you from fraud.

I recall reading a few years ago about auto insurance companies denying claims on stolen cars because it was "impossible" for the car to be stolen due to the new key tech at the time. They were ignoring that the dealerships help the master keys, and car thieves would just attack that as the weak point (i.e. get an insider to cut the keys, and give you the address for the owner). The real reason that the insurers were denying claims is that they want to just push all of the risk onto the consumer, while still taking their money to 'insure' them.
Of course, and so the same will happen today. Nothing has changed. There are no winners, or losers, just the eternal game.

I'm not saying these people were "better", or "worse" these were people, and so the coming chaos will reflect their humanity. The West shouldn't be afraid.

Half-life means what it usually does: time until 50% of the thing (vulnerable clients) have evaporated. You can plot out a decay curve. Vulnerabilities are valuable when many clients still exist which can be profitably exploited.

The half-life of this bug is ~0. As soon as Facebook becomes aware of it, it is nearly instantly fixed everywhere. This is very not the case if you get e.g. code execution on a version of Java which will take 50 months to completely disappear from the wild.
Sure. The only way to stop a message before the content-length is transmitted is to kill your TCP connection. This is inefficient: you need to recreate it, bearing all the TCP set-up cost all over again, and then deal with the small initial congestion window on your new connection.

HTTP/2 allows you to avoid that by saying "I'm done with this stream now, sorry!"

Thanks for the explanation. I guess the confusion comes from "locked baseband" and "locked bootloaders." Unlocking is ambiguous without enough context or domain knowledge.
In a week, an attacker with an account-takeover exploit could attack every high-profile celebrity and likely dig up enough dirt on them to get far more than $50,000 in hush money. Or they could go the old-fashioned route and use it to snoop on the plans of wealthy people to kidnap them and hold them for ransom. There are many, many possibilities for making money if you can gain access to anyone's facebook account, even if it is just for a week. $50,000 is not an extraordinarily large compensation for ethically disclosing an exploit of this nature by any means.
It's funny you should mention that, as that episode from nearly 20 years ago (!!) has come up much more in the last year than it did in the two decades prior. Of course, the reason is not an accident; it's a direct result of those who
vehemently disagree with my handling of the Noordhuis pronoun incident.

Anyway, your request is entirely fair, and let me be clear that I (obviously?) regret the have-you-ever-kissed-a-girl response (which was actually an obscure Saturday Night Live reference). I was young, and it was stupid -- and I regretted it shortly thereafter, for whatever it's worth. I have never actually met David in person, but if I did, the first thing I would do would be to look him in the eye and apologize.

That said, I do think that this is contrast to the Noordhuis incident. I know that this position is not popular here (and that I will be downvoted into oblivion), and that it's likely foolish to revisit this, but just to make clear my position: I am understanding (very understanding, given my own history) of gaffes made on the internet. The Noordhuis issue, however, was not a gaffe: it's not that he rejected the pull request (that's arguably a gaffe), it's that when he was overruled by Isaac some hours later, he unilaterally reverted Isaac's commit. (And, it must be said, sent a very nasty private note to make clear that this was no accident.) This transcended gaffe, and it became an issue of principle -- one that I feel strongly about. So what I wrote at the time was entirely honest, and it is something that I absolutely stand by -- more than ever, actually.

The inarguably contrast is this: I regretted the have-you-ever-kissed-a-girl response; I do not and will not regret my handling of the Noordhuis incident -- and any company that would not employ me over this is a company that I would not want to work for.

> This is the cardholder’s name and all of the track one and track two data7. These records provide all that’s needed to clone an EMV smart card. See appendix section 0 for complete records.

It provides all that you need to create a magstripe card from the PAN stored in the Chip. That is ALL you can do. You can't clone the card and can't get cryptograms. Any sane issuer will decline transactions made with the magstripe at a chip-capable terminal, so this doesn't help much. In any event, a lot of the information you need to clone the magstripe is... on the magstripe.

The rest of the attacks are on the offline functionality of the card which won't be used in almost any US implementations and is being phased out of most of the other places where it is in use.

That's the main drawback of PCA - the principal components are linear combinations of all the original features.

An attempt to remedy this is callled Sparse PCA (you can look it up on Google Scholar), in which the principal components are combinations of only a few features. This allows you to figure out which features are not important.

I remember talking to somebody in the medical industry once. I don't remember exactly what his job was, but he told me that he had done some work with opiate addicts. Supposedly, their brains themselves can get so powerfully addicted to the drugs that it actually generates phantom pain in order to force the user to get more opiates to make it go away. Every test they can run shows that the addict is actually feeling real pain, but there is absolutely nothing physically wrong to cause it. The idea that the brain can work on that level, actually causing artificial sensations to trick our conscious mind, is both amazing and scary.
While employers paying for training may work in economies were there is a high level of worker loyalty, in Canada and the States, people change jobs frequently.

Apple Increases Maximum App Size from 2GB to 4GB
The sad thing is the history of America is sprinkled with a few stories of angry armed mobs of people storming jails, overpowering the guards, and physically freeing people whom the public believed had been wrongfully imprisoned. That took balls. Now, mob justice is used to tear people down for writing some quip in poor taste. What a shame.

I've actually given a lot of thought to things like this, having worked with someone whom I despised due to a complete lack of tact and decorum. Despite the fact that I would never ever want to work with or be associated with this person again in any way, he still has the right to earn a living and contribute his skills to society. In fact, I would argue that most if not all the people he has offended over the years would not actually feel good about "justice" being served if he were fired and/or out of work.

This is also why I've never had twitter, never will, and only use facebook passively. There is no upside; anything you say can and will be used against you.

If you're a band announcing a tour date, or a food truck sharing your location, sure, but if you are trying to be a commentator or funny guy to gain a following, it will probably just blow up in your face like this eventually.

The good news is that you don't have to use twitter. This is only a problem if you allow it to be one for you. There are plenty of other effective means of communication.
