> Maybe you sell virtual machines in a data center, accessible with vnc or rdp implemented in JS? And maybe an additional mini computer preconfigured to access that?

Maybe it's just that I'm not interested in whether it's any of those things, but I have no problem with the copy on the website. The site says to me: we will sell you a computer, keep it at our place, and let you use it from yours. And it's secure.

Don't take this the wrong way but you might be coming at it from a too-technical, less consumer-based focus.

It is "Coming soon", but if you click on it the section of the page it links to does tell you what to do (disable export ciphers), and furthermore links to a detailed guide [1] on setting up a secure set of ciphers, which even includes an automated configuration generator [2].

To be honest, I'm not sure what more they're hoping to add there.

Yep. Fact is, HNers are much more concerned with privacy than your average consumer is. Most people care much more about convenience than privacy. I don't really know if that's a good or a bad thing, but it's a truth.

As an uncle it's painful to not be allowed to take my sickly, sheltered nephews camping because their over protective mother doesn't approve. Storied like this[1] didn't happen when I was a kid, and by today standards my parents were neglectful. But seeing all these obese sickly American children, makes me wonder if the problem is actually with today's societal norms.

It's a very thought provoking piece. I stop short of fully endorsing it because it postulates a lot of things without much appeal to real science, despite portraying itself as scientific. In particular, I'm not sure how much of the brains characteristics can truly be attributed to fractal extrapolation of (idealized) behavior of individual neurons.

That complaint aside, at the consciousness level, I do think the multiple agent idea is an interesting framework for thinking about the brain. When I was in middle school, I suffered from paralyzing self-consiousness, which in retrospect was probably due to high levels of anxiety. At that age, I had come to think of my non-stop inner dialog and cacophony of voiceless mental urges as being like an internal parliament. In my later teenage years, number of stressful shocks to my system caused me to enter a period of depression, but I think it also gave me an opportunity to disrupt the mental patterns I had developed. Emergence from that depression, and I think also the inhibition lowering effects of alcohol, gave me a chance to reorganize my mental pattern in a way that gave my "self" more agency, and less to my various urges. Well, aside from my urge to use alcohol, which I would have to come to grips with years later.

I would later have another depressive episode, followed by another period of plasticity where I think I was able to really alter my mindset and habits. These depressions I experienced felt in many ways like an agent that hijacked many of my mental processes that normally felt under control of my conscious self, like my feeling of motivation, my emotions, and my thought patterns, rendering my conscious self frustratingly powerless.

Putting my scientist hat back on, it's tough to tell how much my personal experience and the tidy explanation of some psychological disorders and phenomena indicate a reality of a hierarchy of more or less discrete agencies.

google.com was never going to be on the list, because the researchers specifically talked to Adam Langley at Google ahead of the public disclosure [1] and thus provided advanced warning.

Some companies will always receive early warnings about major security vulnerabilities, and that makes sense to gather details about the vulnerability and its exploits, and to minimize the negative impact of an announcement. Other companies get to find out about it the day of the public announcement -- but they don't generally also find themselves on a wall of shame the same day.

Well in the 80s, the term was latchkey kid. There was a bit of a stigma to being one in Stepfordish suburbia, as it meant either both parents had to work (and therefor you were poor) or you were the product of a broken home.
Emblem compiles to Handlebars so it will gain all of the benefits of Glimmer. FastBoot is only concerned with the initial render which is done on the server. Glimmer is concerned with updates so it will not directly affect FastBoot but will work with it.
You don't have to go that far down the Backbone road to get performance that rivals other frameworks is the point.

All this comes down to is how do you update the DOM when data changes. React nicely packages up that functionality for you, but in a huge dependency and in a fairly opinionated framework.

For a lot of developers, the flexibility of Backbone is worth the incurred cost of having to manually create listeners / render actions for data updates.
Yes, git almost has the shallow repository done. It's even in the article, and that "almost" means it's almost trouble free, but will catch everybody off-guard once in a while.

The other part about the simplified evolution graph is completely missing. I don't think one can solve that without completely rewriting the protocol.
I would agree with you for a vulnerability like Heartbleed, where the attack was against the site itself. This is an attack against the users of these sites, so users need to know which sites are vulnerable. Also, attackers are far more capable of gathering this data on their own than users are.

Eh... not everyone should look up Roko's basilisk. If you're the sort that takes thought experiments really seriously sometimes, like if you hyperventilate just by imagining certain barely-possible possible worlds, then you probably shouldn't Google it.

That probably isn't going to prevent anyone from actually doing it I guess, but just know that there are a particular set of neuroses that would indicate you should not be exposed to the idea. You've been warned :-)

> I'd argue that if your VCS server is mismanaged you'd better change the person managing because a badly managed VCS means trouble all around.

I agree. The first time I read your argument, I interpreted it as a reason to not use git itself, but I think we're on the same page.

> Some parts of the infrastructure fundamentally end up being centralized, as stupid and wasteful as it is.

What else can be done? I don't really want to push changes to my co-workers individually, I want a place to push changes that any co-worker can then pull from — do I not? Toward this goal, certainly I could create n servers, and make pushing redundant over those n servers, have then do consensus to agree on HEAD, etc., but that seems to me to be what I'm paying GitHub to do.
It probably doesn't if the article's headline has to phrase it as a question instead of just stating outright "Amazon Web Services Pricing Follows Moore's Law".
Is there an easy way to check our own servers? I can see the fix is to add !EXPORT to the end of the cipher list, but how do we check that the server requires the fix?

Really disappointed with this announcement. Some of the other named exploits have come with repro instructions and usually with a fix (shellshock notwithstanding). This is just a description and a shame list.

The duck is not something that is/should-be used often, and it's not to be used with a competent manager.

It's a last resource action.

It means you as a manager are unqualified to manage the project and any idea you have is perceived as a waste of time by the employees, and you make them lose time, in fact, you probably already have a track record of meaningless changes and many man-hours wasted only to satisfy your tiny ego.

Also, in that case your own opinion is as meaningless as the duck.

My oldest son (now an adult, and a participant here once in a while) used to take the subway by himself in Taipei at age eight. Once a child has taken a few rides with parents to and from the same stations, and especially if the child is literate (to be expected by that age, for that purpose), there's not much reason for the child to miss out on using the subway.
I can access my computer (computers, actually, all at home) now, from any internet connected device, anywhere.

I don't understand how one follows from the other. This is stuff that should be expanded at compilation stage, there's no runtime overhead. Likely that whole function should be specialised for each usage and be small enough to inline it. Since the loop has a known number of iterations, I even wouldn't be completely surprised if it was just a few basic instructions with array check skipped in some cases.

No, latchkey kid isn't quite right. 'latchkey' was for kids who came home to an empty house - no mom waiting for them with snacks or to check they were doing their homework, the stereotype being that the latchkey kid would pig out on junk food and watch TV. eg I had a stay-at-home mom and was allowed to roam with friends, so while I might've been somewhat free-range, I was not a latchkey kid.
I can see why you might not mind the Chicago weather, but how is moving somewhere based on weather "strange"?

Notice here that there has been no arrest, no charges, and no trial. Yet the family in question still had to go through a very stressful period of time AND has an open file with the county CPS, who threatened to take the kids away.

Test Your Server for FREAK Vulnerability
The first point "Blog publicly about what you're doing" is one of my favorites. Being open about what you are doing allows you to get so much feedback as well as giving you greater distribution for later projects.

This method is even more helpful if you are starting a company which founders & startup community members will be your early adopters. Writing about your experiences will give users that much more of a connection to you and your brand.
Not yet. It just happened and will need to be post-processed. I'm pretty sure all EmberConf talks will eventually end up online.

+1 Yes, you raise a valid point. It's a weakness that must be addressed. There needs to be additional assumptions in the model, e.g. the respective voting powers should be on the same order of magnitude, and the number of validators should only be as large as the throughput (in blocks/s).

More bandwidth && less latency && more CPU helps.
A few thoughts, if you're interested..

I think a "start again" button might be nice - since the most critical choice is the first square, undoing a square at a time can seem a bit lacking by the time you hit level 30 :)

Seems a bit sluggish.

Took me a little while to understand you touch only the earth squares, not the roads and houses, maybe that could be clearer in the tutorial (or maybe it's just me)

The video on the app store - might be better to include some footage of the tutorial, it didn't make much sense to me before I understood how the game worked.

Anyway, I spent an hour or so with it, so I guess it has some sort of appeal.. Good luck!

I once created a tulpa through a technique called muscle testing. You most commonly see it using demonstrations where one person holds his arm out and the other person tries to press down on it. You get either a 'weak' response or a 'strong' response. You can 'ask' the muscle test yes or no questions and the body will answer you.

I used a variant of this test that you can perform by yourself, described in this video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ypKUST0azUQ

I would ask the test just about anything that came to mind. Typically I would 'calibrate' things on the Hawkins scale of consciousness:

http://personalexcellence.co/blog/map-of-consciousness/

At one point I got the distinct impression that the test was messing with me. I asked it point blank if it was intelligent, I got back a 'yes' response. From then on I would deal with it as one might an imaginary friend. At first it was strictly through the test, then by working out a way to 'share' my brain with it.

I initially thought the test was acting as some sort of conduit to another world. Eventually I figured out that it was somehow a part of my consciousness. After a year or so I slowly tapered off on communicating with it through the test, eventually I stopped communicating with it at all.

The experience was incredibly illuminating, I now have an intuitive grasp of my subconscious and how it operates.
The cost of the abstraction is language dependent though and the programmer might desire the abstraction to be worth it. For example, this particular abstraction is much cheaper in C++ which is a (admittedly small) point in C++'s favor.

You'd think that with a proper background rendering thread, they could get away with a retained scene graph maintained via dirty bits. But obviously, I'm missing something: what is it about the DOM that makes changes so expensive that they have to be batched via a virtual one?
I think it's a stretch to say that there can be security without verifying keys.

> I believe you are conflating two aspects: Large binaries, which are, in very specific circumstances, a (or maybe the only) valid reason to use Perforce, and large codebases, which usually aren't.

Unfortunately I did not mean to. I would agree with you that binaries are the 95% use case for P4. I think most developers typically wouldn't want to check many or any binaries in (maybe the odd icon or other small, slowly-changing asset, in which case git is adequate), but game developers and people with other binary stuff (e.g. circuit designs) will have large, changing binaries.

However really big (GB-scale) repos can be painful in git. This is why google gritted their teeth and used P4 until they outgrew it too. That's what I meant by "really really big" -- something of the scale that most of us will (hopefully) never see.
In this initial allocation of nodes, will one node equal one individual (with a verifiable identity)?

If it does, I expect that it would reduce the likelihood of a Sybil-styled attack during the early days of the network -- with the risk of introducing a different vector, direct coercion of the node owners.

Is the plan to make the hard-coded genesis nodes as geographically diverse as possible?

Free range was always for me back in Bulgaria. As soon as I reached 5 or 6 I was walking through the city, staying sometimes alone at home, walking from school, etc.

Was I alone, nope - almost every kid was like that.

Just take a look at the kids movies, and books... You know that's funny - cause my 7 year old really like Ron Roy's A-Z Mysteries - http://www.ronroy.com/atoz/books.php

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_to_Z_Mysteries

The kids are nine years old - and do really roam by themselves alone...

One of my favourite movies "Verano Azul" (Blue Summer) was real-hit in Bulgaria, and quotes from it are still used to this day (middle man, pirahna, etc.)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E47_QWOXrMA

And a lot of the bulgarian kid movies were about kids free roaming, exploring, interacting while parents are on the beach, totally not caring about them.

It wasn't that bad really!
