The certificate is expiring in less than three months. Chrome has always been clear that they don't care about SHA-1 certs that are expiring within 2015. They just want to make sure that when you renew those certs, you renew as SHA-256.

"Sites with end-entity certificates that expire between 1 January 2016 and 31 December 2016 (inclusive), and which include a SHA-1-based signature as part of the certificate chain, will be treated as 'secure, but with minor errors' [i.e., the lock-with-yellow-triangle you also get for mixed content].

"Sites with end-entity certificates that expire on or after 1 January 2017, and which include a SHA-1-based signature as part of the certificate chain, will be treated as 'affirmatively insecure'. Subresources from such domain will be treated as 'active mixed content'."

Yes, that was my screwup, sorry for any confusion! Despite multiple linear algebra courses, working in 3D graphics for a decade, I haven't internalized the basics of matrix notation. It doesn't help that my usual sandbox (Eigen) is column major by default, which is the wrong in-memory order for my raster-image trained brain to visualize.
Funnily enough, I find tensor notation a bit easier, despite being less familiar.
Until very recently (mid 90's) many psychological phenomena were explained by childhood experiences, in line with Freud's psychoanalytical theory. Many of these have since been disproved. One criteria I have for trustworthiness of a scientific discipline is that of stability. If the previous theory has been found to be very wrong, very recently, then I am cautious to trust again.

Specifically note that his theory, although debunked, still lives on in philosophy and literature analysis. This "stickiness", that people refuse to give up the theory when proven wrong is additionally a bad sign.

Redrafting the premise after someone has disputed your conclusion looks awfully like an attempt to move the goalposts, and this isn't the first time I've had this argument with you.

If that's not your intention, then I strongly suggest you put more effort into into articulating such assumptions up front. Since you didn't bother, I naturally assumed that the problem you were declaring to be solved was the one discussed in the article, rather than your highly idiosyncratic view of it.
A funny comparison, since I could see The Moon is a Harsh Mistress getting compared to Ayn Rand due to the depictions of (and brief philosophical expositions on) stateless society.
How useful is it to get new certs that often? I always had the impression that certs live only a certain time so that revocation lists can be pruned and don't grow unbounded over time, or is there anything else to it?

The parent has a good point though, this looks nice and is interesting but wouldn't it misses the main tenet of cubism, which was to show multiple facets of objects simultaneously, so taking a face, you might see an eye and nose in profile, and also an eye from the front - it is like a simultaneous view of all sides of an object, not a distorted view of one side.

Beyond the expiry fact, I think google does pinning for their certs. If you pin your certs you don't really care a lot whether the ca is compromised, and here it's just the ca that's got sha1 signing, not the actual cert which is sha2.
It's interesting work. I wonder how much input energy is required to mine, refine, and build the required silicon and titanium oxide nanowires? If it's less than 1 to 1 with the lifetime output, then the tech will need more work to be a real solution. Hopefully it scales.
I know what you are saying. I've been on sales calls, as an agile consultant, where we have deliberately dodged around the word.

Its not just the new blood. My sense is that people were sold agile as a silver bullet, and it unsurprisingly under delivered. Even with Agile+XP you still get bugs, delays and budget misses, the difference is that you know about it much earlier, which, in my experience doesn't make people as happy as I hoped it would.

I currently feel this way about Lisp too. I read the books, learned the basics, built stuff, even got a clojure job and, despite feeling better about my code, I'm struggling to provide measurable improvements over Java... but that doesn't mean I want to go back Java any more than I want to go back to 'not agile'.
They may expect nothing, but that shouldn't keep them from asking. Lots of crimes that are solved are solved because of a random mistake or oversight. Maybe somebody used a 1-hop route, or something, who knows. They're just doing legwork.
After having read the PRL paper [1], I am not really sure why they left out gain (and pattern) measurements for the antennas. In my experience, radiation efficiency is only one part in determining the received signal strength. The impedance match is also crucial in determining the effective gain.

The figures in their paper also seem to demonstrate strong resonant coupling effects, which do not always translate to effective radiation.

It's a valid point. If you aren't satisfied with 70 years of life, will having 700 really make you any happier? You'll still die eventually, and assuming there's no afterlife, you'll still spend almost infinitely more time dead than alive.

Regardless of whatever finite amount of time you have, can the best way to spend it be pining for more?
Aaron Swartz: People I've met with Wikipedia entries (or will have one):
It's an interesting diversion, and useful beyond just carbon sequestration - I love how this is a combination of machine/organic lifeforms: "nanowires harvest solar energy and deliver electrons to bacteria, where carbon dioxide is reduced and combined with water for the synthesis of a variety of targeted, value-added chemical products.”" - (Bacterial Cyborgs?) - but the sooner we transition to a solar based energy economy, the sooner we can stop doing inane things like burning coal for energy.

Note also, they have a long, long way to go before this becomes even remotely commercially viable. "With this approach, the Berkeley team achieved a solar energy conversion efficiency of up to 0.38-percent for about 200 hours under simulated sunlight, which is about the same as that of a leaf."

So, they are about 40 years behind where Solar energy is today.

Still cool though.
No, the *.google.com cert has SHA-1. It's just that it expires before 2016, as they get issued for 3 months.
Natural sunlight is the most abundant resource humanity has. If we can't get our kids three hours of it per day, there's something that needs to be fixed with how we treat them.

If you think a cryptosystem is weak, so that it will take years to break a key (instead of millenia), then reducing key expiration times to months seems like a good way to buy some time.

And it incentivizes moving to a system that's not so weak.

“We’re all teaching three times as many students as we were six years ago, and we don’t have any more of us and any more money.”

This seems very strange. Are universities still so far in the dark ages of management accounting that they don't give departments more money if they have more students taking their classes? I understand it won't be purely proportional (Philosophy departments may need to have small classes and require subsidies) but if a department grows 3X, shouldn't the resources at least grow somewhat? Say 2X or 2.5X? If not, it's a recipe for disaster.

I believe it was that I found some of the earlier ideas (every page basically describes one idea) not totally convincing, or maybe I just wasn't able to follow the later ones?

Some good points, except for the point about passwords: passwords are rarely encrypted. While you could say that a salted hash might obfuscate the plaintext of the password - it's not encrypted -- and it can't be de-crypted.

It is of course possible to store passwords encrypted, but that is rarely done.

This just hit me. I was doing some work on my side-business site and noticed a big red error for the SSL cert. Luckily the process to reissue a new cert was pretty straight forward and I gotten taken care of the same day.

My SSL provider (namecheap) did send me one email at some point, but I'm sure I glossed over it because I didn't realize this change was coming.
That's certainly part of it, but at some point there's a qualitative shift: if you make certificate lifetimes short enough, you don't need to bother with revocation lists at all. Since CRLs are unwieldy no matter how you do them, standard practice for revocation is OCSP, preferably through OCSP stapling, where you carry a signed response from the CA (valid for about a day) saying that your certificate hasn't been revoked. Effectively this is just a more complicated way of getting a new certificate about every day.

The other part is that, if something about a cert turns out to have been a bad idea, it's much better to only have to wait a few days or even months than to wait a few years. "Something" could be the algorithm (precisely why Chrome is yelling at SHA-1 certs that will still be valid in 2017, even though there's no attack as of right today). It could also be certification practices: if the community decides that, say, certificates without the `subjectAltName` extension need to be deprecated because the CN field is underspecified, nobody's going to want to do revocations for that. So you are stuck waiting until all current certs expire and get renewed to follow current best practices.
Thx!

But - why? Because their fathers were black and so they associate positive feeling with that colour? Why skin colour? Why not height or body type or behaviour?

What about social pressure (you are a "race traitor" fords ting non blacks). Is it an anti white thing? Is the proportion of Hispanic dating higher? What about comparing across cultures - is the incidence of dating cross race lower than in say the UK?

The fact that we are raising race to its own singular cause for this sort of marriage-limiter shows how much race issues have a grip on our societies, but it's interesting to think around the subject.

Still would be interested to know how one can find a epidemiological "natural" experiment to solve this.

The most famous example is probably Euclid's Fifth Postulate, aka the Parallel Postulate, which states that given a line and a point, there's a single line through the point parallel to the first line. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_postulate

For 2000 years, it was conjectured that it followed from Euclid's other postulate. Lobachevsky, however, disproved it. (As with many 19th Century results, there are questions of precedence -- in part because Gauss claimed to have thought of everything first himself -- but his name is most commonly attached to the result.) Riemannian Geometry depends on the Parallel Postulate being false. General Relavity depends upon Riemannian Geometry.

QC since Democritus is a weird mix of textbook and popularization; I think you could absolutely read it without understanding the details and still enjoy it. You won't get as much, but you'll still get something.

His writing is terrible on the level of style, characterisation, and even plot, but I think many of the ideas he expressed about human relations in his books are profound - that the rules which govern our societies are temporary, contingent and negotiable, that we don't live according to the principles we claim to, that free is often anything but, that colonies often become stronger than the parent society, that revolution comes when there is too big a gap between perception and reality, the tension between soldiers and citizens etc.

I've noticed that Agile is frequently creatively misinterpreted as:

* "move fast and break things" or

* "testing is the end user's job" or

* "what we were doing before, except with morning meetings where nobody is allowed to sit"

I expect some of the backlash is, ironically, against that.

It's similar to "devops" in this respect - a lot of people pretend to adopt the buzzword and then do almost the exact opposite of what it proscribes.

It's not a matter of whether it's generally desirable for all children to spend three hours outside every day. One problem is whether admonishing parents about it is actually going to make it so for all children. Another problem is whether it's actually possible and safe for all children no matter how desirable it might be in general. A third problem is how the strong the sun actually is while they are outside playing. For five days out of seven in the winter millions of children in northern Europe travel to school around sunrise, get maybe an hour outside during the day, then come home and play football under grey evening skies and sodium lights.
You are correct, our customers (we sell a key/value store) manage 1B entries / day and do north of 500 million requests per day.

70 millions requests / week is actually very weak for a NoSQL database and should be left out of the promotion material.
- "comprehensive suite": you can't mock everything. If you have an algorithmic trading platform, you connect to many 3rd parties and their systems are very complex, poorly documented and they don't work according to the documentation.

- "automated tests": traders don't know what they want. They think they know, but they don't. And they will tell you things they don't want, and when you deliver them they'll be angry.

- you don't have direct access to production. If something fails, you won't get all the logs because regulatory reasons. Sometimes you won't even get anything.
- etc.

I see the value of continuous deployment, just wanted to mention that it's not applicable in many-many fields outside of the CRUD bubble.
The biggest dataset used by one of our users is a genetic graph of 240 millions of nodes and edges using a single server. Linkurious will take a few hours to index the complete dataset. From then, the search engine delivers instant results with autocomplete, fuzziness and advanced query options; graph exploration queries take less than a second to complete (sometimes a bit more depending on the web client). We are still working on improving our data indexing strategy to gain performance.

Synerscope has a strong approach to data analysis, and Danny Holten is well-known in the infovis community. I don't think that they provide a search engine thought, you have probably more information on their product.

Slava @ Rethink here.

RethinkDB is based on a fundamentally different architecture from MongoDB. Instead of polling for changes, the developer can tell RethinkDB to continuously push updated query results in realtime -- check out http://rethinkdb.com/faq/ for more details on this.

Just FYI, Rethink does sharding and JavaScript queries (including callbacks) -- http://rethinkdb.com/api/javascript/js/. The `js` command interops with every other command in RethinkDB and works really well.

Yes, that's right. If you want to know how it's implemented, check out this post -- http://rethinkdb.com/blog/lambda-functions/, it goes into quite a bit of depth into how the drivers work.
At least in the US, up until the 50's/60's behaviorism (which at least claims to be based in observation) was a dominant school of thought in psychology.

In the 1950's, behaviorism fell out of favor (primarily because it lacked the explanatory power for some things, especially language).

A small note -- you can use arbitrary javascript expressions with the `r.js` command (rethinkdb.com/api/javascript/js/).
You shoud set min attribute for border input element to 0 so it cannot go to negative numbers, like this: <input type="number" min="0" ...
Since the antenna is quite small it would be bad at receiving signals for that reason alone. Reception isn't really the important issue here though...
>and like to drink.

I actually wonder how big a factor changes around drink driving are. Certainly in Australia (where I am from) blood alcohol limits have decreased during my lifetime and police enforcement has massively increased.

It is now reasonably common on a friday or saturday night in particular to have police block off various choke points and even multilane freeways during peak "coming home from a night out" times breathalyzing and even drug testing a huge proportion of drivers coming through.

That has made driving an increasingly unattractive proposition during precisely the time (friday and saturday night) that owning a car used to be most appealing for people in their late teens and early 20s.

From the point of view of people who treat encryption as a black box and don't care about the details, the passwords are "encrypted" all right. The point of the article is to criticize these people, so the technically incorrect choice of word might be intentional.

Also, it often makes sense to treat hashing as a kind of encryption. It just happens to be a kind of encryption that cannot be (easily) reversed.
It seems they're mostly talking about their client-facing stuff (mobile banking app, etc.). That I can believe. I very much doubt that there isn't a committee who has to sign off every single release of their core infrastructure.
