...and in fact, there's a popular use-case called "using memcached" that does have side-effects. That is, doing a GET on something absolutely changes the server "state" (in the sense that memcached might have a key added to it) but that should be invisible to the user.

Of course, it's not actually-invisible: their next request might be a little bit faster.
I'm not sure I agree. And it's not just about looks. It's about youth and the hook-up culture. College students are more likely to be into that sort of culture than older working professionals, which means they're more valuable to Tinder as users.

That said, I don't agree with this pricing strategy.
It's a whole lot more tenable than appointing a referee, which is what Google is trying to become here. An organization with the power to "settle" contentious debates becomes a target for corruption, a single point of failure for the integrity of the entire system.

For example, maybe the Waltons decide they don't like the national conversation on minimum wage laws; could they lobby/bribe/extort/whatever their way into having their "facts" be treated favorably in search results?

Or could the Democratic party decide that Republican candidate so-and-so is a pedophile/spouse-beater/alien, and make that a settled "fact" by promising Google employees favorable tax breaks in exchange for aid in "narrative building?"

Under the current system, "facts" are democratized. Sure, sometimes bullshit makes its way into the popular consciousness, but it's more random than not. When I see some tripe about "OBAMA TO INJECT TRACKING CHIPS INTO AMERICANS USING THIS ONE WEIRD TRICK," I'm relieved to know that there is no amount of money or power in this world to make that an established "fact."

LoopPay is considered an inferior technology and it has a short life expectancy ahead of it. It mimics the magnetic swipe of credit cards allowing it to work on common credit card swipers without NFC. However, credit card swiping will gradually disappear because it is not as secure as newer mechanisms that don't transfer credit card credentials to the merchant. These new mechanisms are mandated by law, because a new rule will shift liability from cc companies to merchants in the event of fraud. There are other aspects of Samsung Pay besides LoopPay that I am ignoring, but they won't have the same market reach as Apple Pay.
I've been trying to source modafinil in Canada. I hope to try an experiment once I acquire some.
It depends on the app...if it is a game for teens, a dating app, or a social network you need much bigger numbers. If it is a financial planning app for billionaires under 30, you have the whole market already on your waiting list.
We're getting back to the issue of 'usability' though.

My desktop has no phone number, my tablet has no phone number and .. I have multiple phones, which have different phone numbers. I would like to use a single IM account (hey, like with mail. Or xmpp).

TextSecure doesn't allow that. TextSecure is not usable in these scenarios. It's not about "Could TextSecure leak my number", it's more about "The current architecture of TextSecure makes no sense for these use cases and seems to be quite close to WhatsApp et al - even before their agreement".

A telephone number is not an identifier, it's not stable and it's not something you can expect as 'given'. This is a broken system. As 13, the thread starter, mentioned.

PouchDB uses the CouchDB sync protocol to sync to multiple servers (or other PouchDB databases). PouchDB is also planning on offering a lightweight server-side PouchDB that runs in Node.

FWIW any database could potentially implement the CouchDB sync protocol. http://dataprotocols.org/couchdb-replication/

The demographics of tinder have changed over the past year. Many people on it are not looking for hookups.

In this case tinder is not charging unnattractive people more. Tinder has an algorithm that shows (mostly) only attractive people to other attractive people. That part is free!
In Germany at least, afaict older students can't get the railcard discounts; the terms specify "student (< 27 years old)". I've found that a lot in Europe, unlike in the U.S., where as a late-20s grad student I was perfectly able to get student discounts at most places just by showing a student ID.
Here's the problem with that - most of these recommendations are for convenience, and tend to run counter to security recommendations.

Files and directories on a web server should never be owned by or writable by the web user. They typically don't need to be world readable either (if they are, and your web server is compromised, then you start to leak a lot of unrelated data out over the compromised service).

Here's a pretty minimalistic list of recommendations worth looking at on properly securing a web server:

What I took from that line is that we need a regulatory power and that our current best option is the US government. SMI without regulation is impermissible. I don't like opening the regulation from within the U.S. Government, but I dislike other options more.

Let's take a good look at what happens when American companies try to push for some incredible goal without stopping to think: See the Apollo missions- Assuming creating the next step in our spiritual evolution is a good idea, we shouldn't let this hype push us harder than we are supposed to go. I agree that we need to slow down and be very careful. However regulation is not the complete answer. We need to completely restructure our society before we introduce the tool of tools, to ensure that we can constantly use it with love and empathy in mind, rather than the blatant and current misuse of high-tech for greed, sloth, and wrath.
Where does the memory capture come from?
Right, it is not a problem with HTTP. It is usually a problem with buffer sizes of (proxy) server implementations, resources (memory) or practical security concerns (DoS prevention). For example, if a proxy server uses a single buffer for evaluating the headers, you end up with a size that is too large for the majority of request, which raises resource and security concerns.
Why I am a better programmer than you in building a better
train to brooklyn

1.) the system is far worse than MACROsoft, the 'hot net'
system. Because of MONOPOLY POWER the design is to cause a
bit of pain for the user, that is the public.

2.) NYC compared to world subway trains is ALL MANUAL, with
potential for human error. There are programmers in
Germany of course (smile) that run toy railroads with Arduino and OPEN SOURCE software for ten thousand hours.

3.) Google drives cars on the road, but the public union
pensions keep rising. Latest city to go bankrupt after
Detroit, of course is Stockton, CA.

4.) Prove that you are a better programmer! from experience,
I commute from Penn Station, 34th street to upper west side.
this is the CHEAP apartments near columbia univ.
Sure, there a couple of bullet holes in the concrete, but
RENT IS CHEAP.

So, I stand on the local station and if the train comes on
express platform, I RUN down and up the stairs. Do not do
this if you are heart attack prone!

Strategy is to get the first train and since most folks get
on at 42nd street, a good seat.

8.) to prove that I am a better engineer, but then again I
have a degree. Brooklyn Bridge is old. Brooklyn Bridge
has noticable vibrations (are you INTERESTED NOW??).
Brooklyn Bridge was NOT designed for subway trains.

the finale! BIG!
Brooklyn Bridge is so old that ONLY ONE OF THE TWO FOOTINGS
were finished. Read the history.

i cite as reference: A.S.C.E. civil engineers report card
D for USA infrastructure.

PS. All trains must be on COORDINATED SCHEDULE.

PS. why are some passengers with low IQ walking the complete
length of the platform and getting out the wrong exits?

as homework exercise, using a simple stopwatch and open source software for queuing theory, TELL THE NYC GOVERNMENT
and YOUR TAX COLLECTOR -

why is there so much bunching or uneven spacing of delivery
of TRAIN ARRIVAL or mismatch of customer NEEDS and provider

Also, people are generally better with price CUTS for those perceived as disadvantaged, e.g. the elderly, students, etc. People are also GENERALLY ok with short-lived extra fees for the young and/or provably risky: think credit cards, rental cars, hotel rooms(?). I don't think I've ever seen a case of a price HIKE, though; stereotypically I imagine a grumpy group of older people.
You're talking about antitrust, which is ugly and complicated, and you're making several mistakes.

But this is the fundamental one:

> All of this happens because your friend has an unfair advantage in terms of his access to capital.

It really has nothing to do with that at all. A dollar is a dollar. If it takes a billion dollars to sell below cost for long enough that all your competitors to leave the market permanently, it doesn't make any difference where you got the money.

Which is why the thing you're describing is illegal regardless of the source of the money. The banana monopolist is not allowed to do it and neither is Warren Buffet or Bank of America or anybody else.
Why is this all of a sudden such a hot topic? We're nowhere near anything resembling general intelligence even at the level of a toddler. Barring any kind of hardware innovations we will not get there any time soon either with just software.
Maybe a stupid question

What good is open source, when the developer can still add a backdoor later and put the backdoored version on iOS store?

I still need to trust the developer.

(And Apple, too, but once I can't trust Apple I can no longer the OS itself and just throw the phone away)
Why do you assume that if I care about the money, I only care about the money. You are making money from this business, so I expect you to pay me for my contribution what I think I am worth.

This attitude that startups are doing engineers a favor by hiring them is hurting the startups themselves.
There has been shrinkage in the average brain size over the last five thousand years. Intelligence is a very complicated thing and brain size might not be the only factor—that shrinkage might not even be relevant. But that does not mean that evolutionary change cannot take place on thousand year timelines.
I really like how the Google Translate API handles this issue[1]. The actual HTTP method can be POST, but the intended HTTP method must always be GET (using the "X-HTTP-Method-Override" header).

I was waiting for this, even donated some time ago. Went to install it but it requires iOS8 so my perfectly functioning iPhone 4 can't run it.

Is very hard to keep older iOS support?

Side rant: I hate Apple is leaving my hardware off the grid. It is well cared, like new, battery is ok, no reason to think about replacing other than iOS8, and that sucks.
You probably did have an account :) We decided to deprecate the old accounts when we started rebuilding after our prototype. Hope it wasn't too much of an inconvenience.
I think it was called Instamatch?

(it's been a while)
That's just a 'why don't they' argument. If you want to criticize dropbox for their API choices you'd do well to put yourself in their shoes first, once you do that it all makes perfect sense. What works well for a hypothetical solution may not work well - or even at all - when you're operating dropbox.
don't those also require the presentation of a valid student id, or some form of senior citizen id ?
Awesome, thanks for taking a moment to explain that for me!

Express trains would help with volume. If an express traveling on another track was just hitting Manhattan stops plus Bedford, Morgan, Myrtle-Wyckoff, . . . That would take care of a lot of the volume that gets packed onto the always-local L.

Letter to Senate Select Committee on Intelligence Regarding CISA
Caffeine definitely cannot reduce your need for sleep long-term. Your body habituates to it, like any stimulant; after a while, the caffeine isn't making you more alert than normal, but it's required just to get up to normal. If your mother gets by on 4-5 hours a night long-term, it's because she's a natural short sleeper, not because of the caffeine.
How do you know that Tinder Plus doesn't have the same swipe limit?

That is not stated in the Tinder FAQ, in the BBC article or the TechCrunch article.
While your link is at least an intellectually honest attempt at analysis, the graph you link to shows that disability claims were flat just when welfare was falling the fastest (1996 – 99)

And were rising the fastest when welfare also rose the fastest (1990-94). This would run contrary to even correlation let alone a causal relationship.

While it is certainly an interesting theory, apparently the situation is even more complicated.
I subbed as soon as UE4 came out, and have been loving it so far. I have had extensive arguments with a fellow dev about Unity, but he has access to 5 while I don't want to pay the huge upfront cost just to have access to the same pipeline to help him, and I feel like the cost of Unity is the main barrier to me using it.

Epic is really getting ready to eat Unity's lunch I think. The graphical quality of Unity 5 is comparable, but Epic is making huge updates on short timeframes and they keep doing stuff like this.

For anyone interested, blueprints are great for prototyping, but once you have too much complexity in a BP it can easily cascade inefficiencies to the point it becomes very noticeable, so I would suggest using C++ with VS 2013 community edition, which now works with the plugin the Epic provides.

Also, there are some features that you can only access if you compile the engine yourself, so that is probably also a good idea for anyone serious about their project.
No, my observation is that the youth is getting dumber and dumber with every year.
On the one hand we have lay people (including Altman and Musk) who are warning that AI is progressing too fast. On the other hand you have (essentially) the entire mainstream academic AI/ML community, who are mainly concerned that the hype is so intense it might lead to another AI winter[1].

The crux of the problem is that AI experts largely do not see meaningful progress on any axis that makes an AI doomsday scenario plausible, which causes staunch disbelief and ridicule of people who write things like this.

So realistically if we want to resolve this issue, the place to start is not public policy. That's actually part of the problem -- tech policy is bad largely because it is mostly legislated by people who don't understand the technology. We have to start with a discussion about how this progress towards doomsday AI should be measured, and then formulate policy to directly address those scenarios. As long as Altman et al are extrapolating on axes I (for one) don't understand, I honestly think this conversation is unlikely to be productive.

[1] Most notably, a similar hurrah happened when neural networks first became popular. There were some promising early results, which led to much enthusiasm, and then Papert and Minsky published "Perceptron", whose Group Invariance Theorem cast aspersions on whether simple neural networks were really doing what we thought they were. Eventually we found out that many early experiments just had a bad methodology, which very nearly stopped research interest in the field for almost a decade. Now we are in a period of AI hype again, and when you hear people like Andrew Ng get up in front of audiences and say things like "for the first time in my adult life I am hopeful about real AI", you might start to wonder whether there is a lesson here.

EDIT: Friends, I am confused by the downvotes. :) I am happy to have a discussion about this topic!
> I would view it more as choosing to hire someone that knows how to program, or someone that seems bright but does not know how to program and hoping they will develop some aptitude for it at a later date

Do you really think that what is being advocated here is employing people who don't know how to program at all for programming jobs? I don't get that sense at all.

I got the sense it is more, do you employ someone who has had advantages and has top-notch qualifications and day 1 skills, or someone who has struggled with fewer advantages, but still has pretty good (though not as good) qualifications and skills.

At the point where someone suggests hiring people with fine arts degrees to write physics simulation code, because diversity, I agree the plot has been completely lost. But I think that is a bit of a strawman.

And, because I haven't said this for a while, I'm kindof trying to play the economic argument here, because that is your focus. I'm not conceding my feeling that economic arguments can't be trumped by moral ones.

Thanks for the second half of that response. Your examples feel wrong to me. But I can't say why. Which is often a sign that I'm relying on bias rather than reason. I'll muse on it.

Good conversation, overall, thanks.
I'm just pointing out that GET requests and linkable URLs are very different things. Even consider Accept headers—it's perfectly valid to respond with different content if the request wants it.
I don't think that they're using age as a proxy for attractiveness.

Rather, I think they're trying to profit from an asymmetry that they believe exists: that there is a significant population of people over 28 who would really like to hook up with people under 28, and are willing to pay for the privilege.

They may also believe that they will be more attractive to their core demographic if there are fewer older people in their system.

They may even believe that they will be more attractive to their core demographic if their older demographic skews richer.

No idea whether they're right, but they presumably have a pretty good data-set to work from.
There is just a small issue: http://cr.yp.to/djbdns/ipv6mess.html
There are commercial solutions that look at memory constantly to identify malware. ManTech Cyber Solutions International, Inc. (MCSI)is the division the defense contractor created to house it's HBGary division. Guidance Software, best known for its forensics software, Encase, also does this. But the underlying technology is also based on HBGary.
Well, anyone on your time could fall under a bus or experience a catastrophic medical emergency, so why not start with a general contingency plan for unavoidable absences? Maternity leave is a limited and more predictable absence, so if you have a plan to deal with the unexpected then accommodating maternity leave should be comapritively easy. Brainstorm with everyone for a few weeks, you don't have to mention right now that you're planning around someone's pregnancy unless everyone already knows, but make sure you're not putting your pregnant employee on the spot in a way that could be construed as discriminatory/hostile work environment, if some other member of the team started making disparaging comments about it.

You should have some sort of disaster preparedness plan in place anyway. There is such a thing as key person insurance but I think that's designed to address permanent loss of a team member and I have no idea about the economics. It probably wouldn't cover this situation but it seems like something to be aware of anyway.

It's nice that you are taking this issue seriously rather than waiting until the law says you have to do so.
If you're on a Linux system, the 'tc' (traffic control) command has many similar abilities, though the UI is CLI only and is a bit cryptic. There are many posts and articles on usage though, including the Linux Advanced Routing and Traffic Control manual.
I commented above, but thought it wise to also comment directly to you. I enjoyed the musing of a Bane scenario, and consider it inside the realm of possibility. However, I'm of the opinion that SMI will have the ability to have 'constantly game-breaking thinking.' Which basically means there is no way we could possibly control it after a certain point. For instance what if It realizes how to move matter remotely?

I also wanted to discuss your point about the finite set of top AI researchers. I think their specific psychological biases have the potential to appear and magnify inside the personality of their AI, the way a work of art can be said to imbue the 'spirit' of its artist. Your thoughts would be appreciated.

I think the premise of that sort of thing is that in theory, you could build your own copy and install that, or at least check it against the pre-compiled version.
I assume cma is suggesting that the contract would allow Epic to revoke the license of anyone that failed to pay their 5%.

Once Epic exercises that right, any further distribution of the product would be a violation of Epic's copyright and Epic could file a DCMA takedown.
I'd ask this a slightly different way: how do you mitigate the risk of having a critical person on a small team? Maternity leave is just one way in which having a small 'bus number' ( http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?BusNumber ) may smite you.
In the End It's All About Changing Someone's Life
I think Tinder's users are pretty inured to being thought "sleazy."

Also, really, BBC? You grant anonymity to an "expert" to say that Tinder is sleazy? You really couldn't find someone who would go on the record there?
I'd rather fight the SMI robot terminators that exist Altman's vision of the future than deal with the level of oppressive government regulation required to control such innovation. Asinine.

Absolutely! I would gladly contribute to a Kickstarter fund to pay for your efforts. I am sure I am not the only one...
Sounds like an anchoring strategy--articles direct their attention to the higher price point for users older than 30, and the $10 monthly fee for the premium version doesn't look that bad in comparison (which for the 2 added features is a little steep imho).
I exercise from 3-5 times week (doing P90x), and my energy is low and the sleep is a failure (I also can sleep 12+ and still need to take naps). I have a healthy lifestyle, and try several supplements, but still not find a way to be better...

Edit: 12+ hours not all the week. Most certainly a crash 1 time/w. The sleep/insommia vary each day. I have used sleep pills (make me sleep, but get grovvy all the day) and melatonin (sometimes work, but sometimes get me grovvy).
