Most developed countries (the USA being the most notable exception) have some form of paid paternity leave as well, ranging from just a few days, to the same level as maternity leave: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parental_leave

Where the state provides some or all of the financial assistance for parental leave, one could argue that it is already funded by all corporations, as it would be derived from tax income.
Looks great. I see mention of limits, but there is no pricing page. It's hard to adopt a service if I have no idea what it will cost me.

I have used Embed.ly's similar service in the past. There is a sizable free tier (25,000 images) and it works more or less the same. http://embed.ly/display
Unless I'm mistaken, I think it's the OEM that decides whether to allow the option of turning off secure boot... Not Microsoft.

It's whoever implements and controls the BIOS.
Has anyone considered the first option? I.e. not actually touching the lever. At least, in the human example of the problem, and not the one related to autonomous vehicles. If so, what do you think of it?

I'm of the opinion that touching the lever would make you liable for the death/harm of the single individual. Sure, you "saved" 5 people and prevented them from coming to harm. But you knowingly decided to harm someone completely innocent in all of this. In my book, that's as good as letting go of the trolley in the first place. i.e. It's no longer an accident, but rather a deliberate (and arguably malicious) act.
Does anyone know if there is a way to blacklist a certificate on a windows 8.1 machine? To me, managing certificates between the os, IE, Chrome and Firefox is a bit of a joke in 2015. Besides blacklisting, I would love to know of script that will output the certificates that the PC has trusted but are not trusted by Verisign.
If your only goal is to measure the ability to code, then doing a whiteboard interview isn't the best way to do that IMO.

But what about positions where you will be expected to give presentations, do pair-programming, or mentor junior developers? I think whiteboard interviews can be a measure of your ability to take technical concepts and illustrate/explain them clearly to a team.

I used to really hate whiteboards, but as I grew into positions that required more leadership, I realized that I personally needed to develop better presentation skills. If a potential employer were to test me on that, a whiteboard test wouldn't seem unreasonable to me.

So I have mixed feelings on this. Not every hire needs to be capable of being a teacher or delivering a solid keynote speech.. some positions would be best filled by someone with those skills.
That might accelerate the switch over.

While there is no real reason given why Microsoft decided to change their policy on Windows 8 / x86 (originally they requested Secure Boot enabled and enforced), I suspect it was due to their large corporate customers. They feared that after the Win8 release they couldn't buy machines without Win8 Logo (probably right) and thus can't image the Windows 7 (or even older) they still used internally onto new machines.

So Microsoft gave them some more time to make the switch, and with pushing Windows 10 like this, they want to purge old Windows versions from the market, and quickly.
In terms of Secure Boot this means that there's no business case (for Microsoft) anymore to keep non-Secure Boot around.
Revocation is Hard. The problem is that the way certificates work is supposed to be asynchronous: You get a certificate from the CA, the client has the CA's public key, so you give the certificate to the client which can verify it without talking to the CA. This is pretty important if you want to secure something that needs to keep working even if it isn't on the internet, or the internet is down, or the CA's servers are down (or under DoS), etc.

But you can't do revocation that way. The client can get the certificate from the server being certified, but it can't get a revocation that way because nothing forces the server provide the revocation.

To do revocation you have to have a database of all the revoked certificates and check every certificate against the database before accepting it. But there are too many revoked certificates to store on the client; the database is too big. And if the client has to query some server then the attacker can DoS or MITM that server.

The best way to handle "revocation" is to fully automate certificate issuance like Let's Encrypt, but then only issue certificates for a short period of time, like 10 days (but renewed every 7). Then you don't have to worry about revocation because the certificate expires in about the same amount of time it would take to be detected and distributed in a revocation database.

It is DMT + an MAOI which allows the DMT to not be destroyed when you drink it.

The MAOI has a prolonging and intensifying effect, and has psychedelic effects of it's own. Smoking DMT isn't the same as eating pharmahuasca, which isn't the same as drinking ayahuaska.

That said, it is very, very rare for anyone to have a reaction. The quality tours have trained medics in the village, and the villages are jammed deep in the forest like some of the hippy tours.

Smoking DMT is a very clean experience. It is intensely visual in nature and completely cerebral.

Pharma/Ayahuaska is a heavy body load as you drift in and out of the altered state often called "hyperspace".

I don't really recommend the MAOIs because of the complications they can cause, and you can have just as spiritual of an experience without drinking their "jungle juice". haha ;)
$99 (not sure for which time period) and the risk of losing your cert whenever Microsoft thinks you compromised their platform.

Canonical uses kernels without signature checking, where you can just load new kernel modules.
In principle this allows to hack into a "Secure Boot" Windows in a day or so (rough draft: have a kernel module, eg. kexec, that runs Tianocore, which can load and run Windows, and pretend the system is "secure" while there's random crap running in the background).

I think Microsoft is silent about Canonical's use of Secure Boot for now, but they might change their tune (and once there's a PoC, they certainly will).
"We modern smart men have figured a way to have trippy experiences without puking and going into an uncomfortable jungle with this funny superstitious shamans, we are the best!"
As if doing a hit of DMT was nearly the same thing as a proper Ayahuasca ceremony done with a shaman coming from a 10.000 years lineage.
Sigh.
Awesome! One line about that should do the trick.

There is only been one documented case of that ever occurring. I've taken Ayahuasca on several occasions and have only puked once which is very normal as it is part of the purging process. In fact, I prefer taking DMT orally (via Ayahuasca) as the experience is much easier to control even though it lasts longer compared to smoking pure DMT.
Uninterrupted activity: the best nootropic.
Remember that `SecureBoot`ed Kernels only load signed kernel modules, because otherwise you could still run arbitrary kernel code. Thus with locked secured boot you cannot ever use self-compiled kernel modules, e.g. Nvidia driver and ZFS.

Thats really cool. How are people (the few that do) currently buying your products? How do they find out about them?
I have started taking Bacopa from Himalays 2 weeks back. Hoping to see results in 8 weeks.
I've been taking ~50mg modafinil 5 times a week for years. Last batch I bought was 2 years ago on the grey market (an online indian pharmacy) in 200mg pills form (so I divide them in 4 for a daily dose).

I don't take any on weekends or on holiday, and sometimes I take 100mg if I'm going for a long car journey or something else that requires complete attention...

The effects are very subtle but noticeable: more alertness and concentration, and a more positive outlook on things. I found it's also pretty good at keeping depression at bay.
As a general approach, I can certainly see assistive driving algorithms making decisions about whether to veer off the road vs. possibly hitting something ahead, i.e. how do you prioritize staying in the lane vs. avoiding a known/likely collision. One implication is that you'd sort of like to know what "off the road" means in a given location.

In the interest of fairness, I will share a few decent articles, then give my opinion:

https://www.erowid.org/chemicals/ayahuasca/ayahuasca_death.s...

http://www.cnn.com/2014/10/24/justice/ayahuasca-death-kyle-n...

The first article is not about ayahuasca, but provides some excellent advice for spiritual seekers. The second is the best article. The third is CNN, but it is likely the incident the OP is talking about.

Ayahuasca and salvia both completely scare me. They are not meant to be administered recreationally, and they can both bring about some states that can lead to dangerous behaviours or permanent mental illness. However, if administered correctly by a well trained shaman, each have therapeutic qualities.

The problem is too many people with western dollars read Carlos Castaneda and embark in search of a shaman. And, there are many unscrupulous people who will say anything to make a buck.

He didn't say it was advice on how to become a huge company, he said it was how to _maybe_ become a huge company. They're going for high returns on successes, not high chance of success.
The implication in the article seems to be it's a GET/POST flood though, not DNS-based. Granted, for DNS amplification, having big enough pipes starts to matter a lot more, which is where providers like OVH shine because of how much network capacity they have, but it's not like DNS traffic can't be filtered. I haven't read the research papers you're referring to though, so I may be overlooking something obvious.

The Wikipedia article says that 90% choose to touch the lever, and 10% choose the first option.

But people are more in agreement with you than it seems, because changing the formulation to the (ridiculously impossible) "fat man" version of the thought experiment causes most people to change their mind, even though the morally salient features of the experiment (choosing to kill one innocent person in order to save five innocent people) have not changed.

It is by definition an anti-trust situation. Any car company could have a monopoly on their car's brand distribution.

I am not defending the auto dealerships. I think their days are numbered and they will be put out of business. I am long Tesla stock. I am merely pointing out their perspective. There is plenty of anti-trust precedent regarding manufacturers competing unfairly with retailers.

HFT is useful, it provides liquidity to buyers and sellers and lowers their spreads to razor thin levels saving them a ton of money in the process. To say HFT isn't creating value and isn't useful is simply wrong.
It's currently an 'ayahuasca-boom' going on, that is taken advantage of by many locals who want to earn easy money. Another risk is that some of the shamans mix in other plants than the core ingredients, which can be dangerous. There is also the possibility of unwanted interactions with pharmaceuticals.

As someone who still has a plan with a "adorably small data cap", I'm happy and worried at the same time. I'm happy because, as most other people, I too have had to disconnect from hotspots with captive portals manually, in order to get the phone to switch to mobile data. But I'm also worried that this fancy new algorithm will choose 3G instead of WiFi much often and sometimes against my will, effectively reaching the cap much faster.

My Android 4.2 phone already does something similar with WiFi networks where it says it "avoided a poor connection", which is annoying when you're trying to connect to that "poor" connection precisely, and even worse when it ditches the "poor" connection... for one with a captive portal, leaving me with a super fast connection, indeed, but which only leads to a login page.

As someone with a capped plan who often prefers slow-but-unlimited to fast-but-limited connections, I'd like to be able to disable the automatic switch, and I really hope they add an option for that. In this day and age though, everything seems to be moving in the direction of less and less configurability...

Most commercially packaged frozen meals have lots and lots of sugar, salt and oils added to low quality (cheap) ingredients to make them palatable.

Some people think freezing food destroys its quality, but I think that the evidence for that is weak and fails to regard the loss of quality that comes from keeping things in the fridge for another day.

When I stopped eating ready meals I lost a kilo in a week, I believe (believe) that happened largely because I dropped so much salt out of my diet and therefore I was retaining much less water.

Buy things fresh, make meals and freeze them. This will allow you to cook good things quickly in the evening. Spend an afternoon and make a chicken casserole, a beef stew, a lasagne, a cottage pie and a fish pie. Freeze in portions (aim for five from each) and you have weeks of quick, nutritious and delicious food that means that you will not be stuffing yourself with rubbish.

But also buy a steamer and make sure that you have a large portion of steamed green veg every day. You're five a day can have one orange juice and a couple of bits of fruit, but a decent wodge of green is really important. Tender stem broccoli, greens, cabbage, peas, beans... all take about 30 seconds to prepare and 3-4 minutes to stem (tip: only put a mugful of water in the steamer, it will boil fast and then cook the greens just as well as 4 inches would).

China Blocks Reuters Website After DDoS Attack on the Great Firewall of China
Yeah, that happened. There's another center in the jungle I know of that changes its name every time they have a guest die. And I've heard stories of "shamans" who add a paralytic to the dose they give attractive young female guests...

But you know what? Those are the exceptions. I've taken ayahuasca dozens of times, and am booked for another trip to Peru next month. I've been fortunate only to work with reputable people, and have consistently only met others in my travels that have also worked with reputable people.

Please don't judge a tradition that's thousands of years old, and actually remarkably safe — with a few caveats, that the reputable folks will screen for — on the basis of a couple of cretins who look at the plants and the gringo tourists and just see dollar signs.

For me, a lot of frozen meals and processed foods in general have insane quantities of sodium. Seriously, check the labels and make sure to do the math on what you would consider a reasonable portions (they like to play games with portion size to bring daily percentages down).

How to get 2.3M app downloads (without spending a cent on marketing)
Funny true story: My friend bought a fancy new stove. After owning it a couple of weeks his wife commented that the oven didn't work on Thursdays. Odd. So he investigated... and he found that indeed on Thursdays, if he tried to turn the oven on, it reported an error code 5A66.

After a bit of searching in the user's manual, he discovered (a) that the stove had a Sabboth mode (b) the "error code" was actually SAbb rendered on the 7 segment display, and (c) he had not set the day of the week on the stove so it thought Thursday was the Sabboth.

He turned off Sabboth mode and was happy. His wife less so because she no longer had a reason to go out for supper every Thursday.
What people call being "in the zone" or "flow" is a generally interesting state of being. Everyone experiences this oneness multiple times in their lives, usually without realising it. Sportsmen and people who have highly developed skill sets (like programmers) hit this state of mind more often and many train specifically to get themselves into this state on demand. You can also reach this state via meditation or prayer.

I look forward to more results coming from this area of research.
