> I'd be really interested to see studies of people who "recovered" from depression.

Indeed. I'd be interested in reading case after case of people that recovered from depression. But for all the industry has put out (drugs, therapy) they do not seem interested in interviewing those people that they say got better in their abstracts. I guess the academia is not interested in that.
I think they're just slow to adapt.

When hotels first started rolling out WiFi, charging made lots of sense. Most guests couldn't or wouldn't use it, and those who did would be happy to pay a little extra for internet on the go.

Things have changed now. Everybody uses WiFi, and it's available all over. A hotel charging extra for internet access is now almost like charging extra for lights in the room.

What makes it especially bad now is that fast cellular internet is becoming ubiquitous. People appreciate WiFi because it doesn't chew up their data plan, but they'll be ever less likely to pay for it.

Watching a talk from one of the guys that worked on Inbox, they built a lot of what they did on the power of what GMail already has. But their goal was to create a common flow that would handle most people's use-case. From what I've seen of inbox right now, there isn't a lot you can do to customize it. So until they start porting over features from GMail, I'd probably just stick with Priority Inbox if you like it's flow.

For me, Inbox solves my use-case for my personal email account. I never really put much time into organizing my gmail account to minimize noise, so Inbox was a good answer for me. Now, if Inbox was available for my work account I doubt I'd use it. I have carefully crafted lots of labels and filters to make Gmail an excellent solution for work, it just took more time to setup and maintain then what Inbox does for my personal email.

I've used rdiff-backup daily for years, but recently needed to store backups on machines I don't control, so I gave duplicity[1] a try. It encrypts, doesn't need to be installed on the target host and is simple to use if you're already familiar with rdiff-backup and gpg. Test restores were simple, but were all first generation, so not really a good test (but there are hints you'll want to prune backups to one month's worth). I haven't figured out an acceptable way to automate it, so I've been running it manually on an infrequent basis while I evaluate it. Give it a look, if you haven't already.

From the Flipboard page:

I simply do not believe that. I have no problems scrolling around the internet. And the examples they give (flipboard.com/@flipboard) give me no clue about what their problem with the DOM is. I find it really hard to imagine you couldn't do that in the DOM.

I wonder what is going on over there.

Sentry is great for monitoring all sorts of log emissions.
You can charge for externalities without distributing them to the victims on a personal level.

You're right that precisely compensating a lung cancer victim is pretty much unworkable. But the statistics in aggregate are pretty clear, so you can collect that money as a tax without paying out precise compensation to each individual victim. This still produces the appropriate incentive to burn coal only when it's worth the full cost.

Your examples illustrate this principle. Your garbage collector probably has to pay a license fee, and has to obey noise regulations. UPS pays vast amounts of money for parking tickets. These could probably be calibrated better, but we don't just let these companies generate negative externalities at will.
I doubt Nobel Prize winners procrastinate on HN as much as we do. They are probably busy making things happen.

My guess: data for their Apps customers are backed by completely different set of servers/infrastructure. This probably allows them to tell large potential customers that if GMail proper is ever hacked, their data would be safe (as it's part of some different system). It may also give them extra time to pen test new systems to make sure it isn't hackable before deploying it to the people that do trust it with their company's email.
You bring up an interesting point regarding astronaut safety. It's interesting to me because I have the polar opposite opinion. This will sound cold, but astronauts are basically expendable. We can expect a small percentage of them to die. Much like in the military, the mission takes priority over safety, which comes second.

Given that we have no shortage of astronauts willing to accept that, and that we do put a ton of effort into their safety, I have no qualms whatsoever pushing the limits of what is possible. I've met a lot of astronauts - I don't recall meeting a single one who didn't fully understand how dangerous the work is. It's not for everyone. Personally, I think they're nuts to take that risk for what amounts to floating around in a stinky can for a few days, punctuated by brief stints of mechanic duty.

This always struck me as a major disconnect between the brass at NASA and the engineers. The higher up the chain you went, the more concerned with safety, politics, and perception they were, and the less concerned with what I would say the true goals of the space program are - the actual exploration of space.
Hurrah - good to see that the Elasticsearch dependency is no longer locked to a rather old version (that bit me a few times when setting up a cluster last year). I'm still a bit wary about having to spin up MongoDB for it as well, though…
Ok. I have used Sentry the last time a long time ago and maybe I'm outdated.

Hell, who do we go with now? I'm a sys/web admin/devops by day and we just buy whatever is the hottest Lenovo, image them, and send them off for staff to use. They're rock solid from a hardware perspective and their laptops are usually top notch (ignoring the redesigned trackpad issues, they're pretty much perfect for business use).

We've tried HP and Dell in the past with the same ugly results. Horrible default images full of crapware, though not MITM bad. The only difference is that we had 10x the hardware issues with Dell and HP. We always need to make our own images. Windows OEM is a nightmare of shit crapware, which is a shame as the stock windows product is actually, dare I say, good? At least good for business use cases.

I also find it amusing that anytime there's some kind of issue in the US people instantly yell NSA, but thus far no one has thought to think this could be the CCP's attempt to spy on people by weakening SSL. I'm sure its trivial for them to grab the private key from Lenovo. Seems like the cyberwars are heating up.

Personally, I hope this becomes a major scandal. This deserves lots more press. In fact, every anti-virus product should remove this and the certificate. Anything short of that is irresponsible. This is congressional investigation worthy right here.

They installed the Superfish certificate at badfish.filippo.io then request yes.png (https://badfish.filippo.io/yes.png), if your browser has Superfish in the trusted root store then the yes.png is returned from that URL, however if you have a clean machine then badfish.filippo.io throws a certificate error and yes.png is not returned, and instead "no.png" is displayed via the alt tag from the base domain (which doesn't use a Superfish certificate https://filippo.io/Badfish/no.png).

The Nial Programming Language

But note that it is still in its infancy. I use 0.3 beta as a daily driver on my personal laptop, but only because all my work gets saved to git repositories or dropbox folders. If it craps out (hey, it /is/ beta after all!), I switch to an Ubuntu Live USB to work.

That being said, the more people on Elementary the better! I've grown to like Vala, and encourage devs to help contribute.
Perhaps a bit naive - these companies that start by embracing open standards then pull back from them are just pulling a classic bait-and-switch, with a bit of freeriding off open-source efforts thrown in. They bootstrap their user base and arrive to market quickly by using tools built by others. Then once they grow and gain market and mind share, they can start closing themselves off, walling the garden.

And it's just business - it's a logical step for a profit motivated organisation. You're value is in your users and your brand. So you take steps to lock in your users, prevent third parties from using your services with through open protocols (which dilutes your brand). Nearly all the current crop of (once-idealistic) companies are at it. It's really time to start learning from history that you can't depend on private, for-profit companies to act in the common good - because doing so spreads the value around, and a company wants it all for itself.

This is the best way to manage your mail ever. I get a good amount of mail everyday, I use Inbox since day 1, and this is just too good.

Everyone should give it a try. The product is very well done, and if you care enough about your mail to try new things on your workflow, just use it, you'll never come back.

It depends on what engine you are using once you are talking about xplans, if you are into SQL Server and you are looking for a great book to reference thats almost all practical "this is how stuff is going to be interpreted", check out http://www.amazon.com/SQL-Server-Query-Performance-Tuning/dp... by Grant Fritchey (the previous book had Sajal Dam)

Additionally, SQLPass puts out a great DVD every year and in the past year or two they had some great talks about how to read xplans, why they are actually lies, and going into things like statistics io, measuring recompile/cpu time, determining if implicit conversions are causing issues, etc etc etc
Show HN: A single point access to multiple apps via a generic API interpreter
Nice to see another architect on HN.

I only visited Arcosanti once, and in my brief visit (around 2005) I found the intellectual environment to be pretty dogmatic and deeply skeptical of technology. Being an architect with a strong technical background I found this strange. It seemed like if there were a place that could be thinking deeply about how architects can productively use technology Arcosanti would be the place.

The environment you describe in your other reply makes me think that perhaps this wasn't always the case. Could you talk a little more about the intellectual climate during your stay? Was there a period where people were able to see Soleri's thinking as more of a springboard than a rigid system?
but here's the thing, we also 'power the backend with full admin and CRM features for online/offline giving" - hence the salesforce reference (not my choice comparison btw). So, 'Shopify for nonprofit fundraising' has our clients immediately reacting, "oh, so there's no data management system?". To be clear, we NEVER describe GE as either when speaking to a client (we simply say fundraising,, volunteer and donor management software). So, given this, I'm curious to ask - how would you tagline us?
No. You just must build your new things in such ways that your competitors can easily repeat them and your customers can easily migrate to your competitors.
>IN YEARS to come we will look back at hotels that charged for Wi-Fi with a kind of incredulous nostalgia. But how far in the future will that be?

I think more importantly, most people will stop caring if hotels provide wifi. I already rarely connect to free wifi because I have a cellphone - when I use my laptop I can just tether.

The two main blockers for most people (at least Americans) are cell providers who charge insane rates for tethering and international roaming. Tmobile has revealed that it's possible to provide both at a reasonable rate ("T-Mobile CEO John Legere has estimated that profit margins on international roaming fees can be about 90 percent"), so the current situation is just an inefficiency that will eventually die off.

To me, we should still encourage hotels to do the right (modern) thing. But we really should be pushing our cell providers to remove the inefficiencies that prevent us from using our connections conveniently.
The employers that I know of who do government work require that all computers/phones work is performed on be of certain manufacturers which are US companies, an issue like this is the exact thing they cite as the reason for not using foreign companies as providers of such hardware. So the chance of government data being stolen is minimal, so the chance of the US government caring much is unlikely. So I doubt this will wind up under that bus.
That's clearly not what the author is saying.

You can easily create something new while embracing standards. You can open your app up to existing standard means of consumption like RSS, email, SMS, etc.
I think the question is - better for who?

Clearly for many businesses, walled gardens, avoiding "openness", works. That might be because they use it to create an artificial moat to protect their business (arguably LinkedIn here), or because it's the best way to serve their customers (Steve Jobs' argument, not saying I agree).

For customers, if the best experience is gained through a native app, then a native app makes sense from the company's point of view. This is why native apps took off in the first place, right?

Just because you or I believe in open standards and information sharing doesn't mean it's better from everyone's point of view.
When a big company hires your employees en masse to work on the exact same thing they were working on that feels morally wrong, even if it is legal. There is transfer of IP involved here.

Why? People aren't interested in exact details, that's why they rely on 0.42%.

The Quantum Mechanics of Fate
I've used SumoLogic to do log management at work, and it's been helpful in specific ways:

- We have a server that runs dozens of websites. When the load spikes, we can quickly get a count of recent log entries for all the sites. The site with the anomalously high number of entries is where we start troubleshooting. This could also be automated as "anomaly detection" that sends us alerts, but we haven't configured that yet--happens rarely.

- One of our servers got hacked. Running log searches helped us pinpoint when it happened, which site was "patient zero," and how the bad guys got in.

- We launched a new site and forgot the Google Analytics code, which we didn't catch right away. We were able to run a report from the server logs to approximate the traffic data that GA missed.

Having all the logs feed into a centralized service made it easier and faster to find the information we needed across a bunch of websites, as opposed to working directly with Apache log files.

We looked at using ELK (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana) to do the same thing "for free," but decided we did not want to manage a complex software stack to help manage a complex software stack. :-) We'll take a look a Graylog I'm sure, but there is something to be said for paying for this as a service--one less thing to worry about.

More times than I could bear to count, I've stopped deliberating on a (usually technical) tricky problem and then the next day an elegant solution jumps to mind at an often unusual time. It's a great way to annoy customers or people you're collaborating with (who think you're being lazy), but then they enjoy the end results anyway so I can get over it.
I feel similarly. I do think that there are some folks for whom this interface makes sense, though.
I feel like I'm missing something. We should use open standards like WhatsApp, who actually use a proprietary protocol that just seems familiar? We should avoid creating custom technologies like Flipboard, who actually embraced the open Canvas standard? Let's reminisce about SMS on Twitter in 2010 when smartphones were exploding and SMS was likely no longer the primary mode of interaction... This all makes no sense.
