Yea Cloud9 gives you a virtual container (with root access too) that you can run anything in just like you would on your local machine.
Completely agree with this. I don't think anyone truly wants this to happen. The point is it may have to happen, if people want to see serious change. If criminals take over the government and its power, how else can you take down down?

But some people don't even like protests because they "make them be late to work" or whatever, when they block traffic. Well guess what, the point of riots, protests and even strikes is to inconvenience to the point where change has to be made and demands listened to.

Otherwise if you just go and protest on a mountain, like the Tibetans do, nothing will ever change since you won't be inconveniencing anyone in the slightest.

Why hackers target background investigation databases
I did a quick bit of calculation on this. Assuming you use 10KWh per day and a perfect battery:

Economy 7 KWh cost : 8.4p (Best deal I saw was 9.4 for me, but this was a figure on MSE)

Standard tariff KWh cost : 14.5p (Best deal I saw was ~12 for me, but this was a figure on MSE)

That'd be a £306/year cost on economy 7 and £530 on a standard, taking some more extreme figures.

A $3500 (~£2300) battery would then have a payoff time of about 10 years.

Using the other figures (9.4 and 12) gives a £95/year saving or a ~25 year payoff.

That's also assuming the batter is perfect, no extra costs in installation and you use exactly 10KWh per day. Economy 7 tariffs are about 22p/unit during the day so any overrun would quickly eat into savings.

I do think this is all very interesting, but with current offers in the UK it doesn't look too beneficial. However, if someone were to offer cheaper rates on a more granular level (rather than always midnight-7am) then this could work out better. Perhaps an energy company owned battery would be a good idea, they offer a flat rate back to you knowing they can smooth things out.
Looks very nice. Will check it out.

Also noting as an alternative for planning is omnifocus. But this also looks very promising.
A shame that's not the argument at all - what is being argued against is the chipping away of HTTP, not implementation of HTTPS.

If one looks at the backdoor placed in Dual-EC - or in type of backdoor engineered into this SHA1 variant (https://malicioussha1.github.io/doc/malsha1_lv.pdf) - there are ways to provide a backdoor such that it is cryptographically hard to attack for anyone but the designer (NSA, etc).

The NSA has a term for these types of backdoors: NOBUS. Nobody But Us. Schneier calls this idea silly, but the principle is sound if there are cryptographic garuntees behind the backdoor (like above examples). Backdoors in code are less likely to be NOBUS.
You still need to ship it inside the US to the boat dock, and then pay to put it on a boat, and then pay to ship it from the australian dock to the homeowner.

> Around 2009, I had been thinking that the future of music and art might be a return to the patronage system, only with mass audiences funding artists instead of rich individuals. KS, Patreon, and other sites like them seem to have proven that theory out. And I'm happy to see them do so. I still strongly believe that distributed patronage is the best way for artists, musicians, game designers, and even film makers to be able to produce what they and their fans want.

Smart words, 100% agree.

There are 3 other reasons that I use a Web IDE now (started using Cloud9 about 9 months ago)

- When doing client work it's much easier to show clients what you're working on at any time. Don't need to mess around with a staging server and uploading files + DB changes etc.

- All client projects are in their own environment with their own config / env vars / DB. So say a client wants changes made 3 months down the line it's super easy to get the project back in the state it was then. On a local machine I frequently run into problems where I've updated my machine or changed config since last working with them and it takes an hour or two just to get the project going again.

- When learning new languages can just create a new project of that type and it has everything you need ready to go. Especially useful if you have a windows machine where using NodeJS / Rails is often much more painful than it should be.

Wake me again when this is more than vaporware.
In any well-maintained project, you compile a list of bug fixes and added features into a release notes text. See f.e Misc/NEWS in Python. More detailed than that, I don't think is necessary. As a user I'm just not interested in who fixed what (or reported the bug) and when they fixed it. There is always "git log" or "hg log" or "svn log" to fall back to if you want to investigate the history in detail.
I'm tempted to read it as "merely" 2 million given how bloated these projects tend to become. healthcare.gov is reported to be 500 million LOC, in comparison. I simply don't know how one writes that many lines, but it happened.

For example, I need IP-only certs for a new project I'm working on (waiting for DNS to propagate to all clients is too unreliable and slow).

This doesn't make any sense. You're not waiting for DNS to propagate to clients; if anything you're waiting for recursive DNS servers at shitty ISPs to time out their caches when they are configured to not honor the RR's TTL sent by the authoritative server in a misguided attempt to make the internet "faster".

But this is completely avoidable without having to use IPs or certificates with CN/SAN that are IPs: get a wildcard cert and rotate the subdomain name. It's a new hostname, so it busts intermediate DNS caches by being new queries; since it's a new query, there's no "propagation to clients" to wait for when you change IPs, all queries for the new name hit authoritative servers. Additionally, it looks infinitely more legit than a website that is accessible only via IP address. And doubly additionally, if you're going through so many IPs, presumably you'll be rotating some out and those may be assigned to other people who can then get their own cert for that IP and impersonate you.
I learned that the hard way a month ago when I found that all my photos from the past 6 years that I had been storing on Dropbox had been mysteriously deleted :(

Storing != backing up

Still trying to let go of ever having those visual memories again. Certainly you're right that it's no one's fault but our own, but that doesn't make the lose any easier to deal with. I do blame Dropbox though, considering I'm a paying customer. When it happened I saw that the actual backup feature costs extra.

Dropbox may be a ok syncing service but it's a pretty shitty backup service given any collaborators can delete your files. Suffice it to say I'll be backing up locally and finding an alternative to Dropbox.

(Sort of a tangent/rant/vent there, but if anyone has a recommendation for cloud backups I'd love to hear.)

The patent expressly states a "notification system". I'd question whether that covers a bi-directional communication platform like SMS messaging. A notification system should be in one direction only - sending notifications to a user and nothing more (like a pager). The fact that you can use SMSs to notify people is irrelevant. You can use any communication system to notify people. A patent that claimed innovation on "telling people changes in quantity regardless of how they're communicated" would be far too broad to get approval.
Maybe they should just publicly fire someone to make this all go away.

> I never had a load of more than 3.5kW

Different issues over the pond, my kettle can draw 3kW :)

Since so many of my countryfolk have something similar, this actually causes our energy production quite severe issues when popular TV shows finish. Often a 200-400 MW spike but at the end of the 1990 world cup semi final penalty shootout against Germany, there was a spike of 2.8GW.

An interesting example of some of the problems that could be solved at least to a large degree by local batteries.

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

I wonder if this will move more from ones in the home to ones placed by the national grid. While every house on my road might have one, and it's not enough to cover the load from a kettle, one for the whole street could cover it just fine as long as we don't boil them at an identical time (the worst case there is basically equivalent to the normal case for individual batteries).

The risk of riots is a reason for not using the machinery of a non-representative democracy as a velvet glove for enforcing the will of a privileged elite.

There's a more detailed explanation of this viewpoint here: http://www.interfluidity.com/v2/5911.html

You should look at this from the same perspective as irrational rage, or nuclear war. The risk of a destructive conflagration even when it is also harmful to the people who start the destruction is an impetus to solve disputes peacefully and fairly, and to not push structural power imbalances too far to gain an advantage.

Yes, I know you can. Just as you can make money making music. The important word here is "can". You are not however entitled to it. A lucky few gets paid but that's an extreme privilege you shouldn't take for granted.

The difference with development is that no-one questions the business model. You code and get paid for it while music is a completely different story. Before I became a professional developer I coded for fun and was happy with that. If the market would be like music (where 99% of artists cannot make a living out of it) then yes, I would say exactly that.
I think the problem is with your use of the word "condone". I'm sure you meant it in the sense of "like", but it sounds as though you meant "give permission".

I suspect the reply is basically saying, "I didn't ask your permission for anything." :-)
> But even if the life time cost for the energy is the same, if you can afford the initial payment, why wouldn't you do it? Especially if there are other advantages to the newer technology?

The trackpad on this series is not the greatest - I'm finding precision not very good. (X230 running Xubuntu 14.04.) There's probably some setting to make it less annoying.
48V is under the threshold at which electrical shocks become dangerous. 48V or less is "low voltage" class. And, 48V is a multiple of both 12V and 1.5V (most individual battery cells are 1.5V), making it much easier to hook up by using a combo of parallel and series connections.
The page says >92% round trip efficiency. Since they also claim that they're selling them to utilities for exactly this purpose I'd guess it's theoretically possible and probably comes down to the pricing structure offered to consumers in your local area to buy and sell to the grid.

"if the rioters make me late for work I am angry at them,not at the government"

Then, you were never on their side, anyway, and it makes no difference who you're angry at.

The protesters are making it very clear who they're angry at, and making it clear they're willing to escalate in the interest of altering the status quo, even if it costs them more than it costs those in power (and it always does). That's what desperation looks like.

I'm personally uncomfortable with the status quo, if the status quo has large segments of people who feel so unheard that they have to riot to get media, to get the attention of those in power, to have any sort of voice at all. Whether I agree with the tactics, or not, I recognize how much this means to so many of my fellow Americans, and I recognize that means there's something really wrong, even if I don't personally feel it in my daily life.

In short: I don't like people getting hurt. I don't like people going to jail. I don't like random acts of destruction. But, even moreso, I don't like my country stepping on the throats of ~13% of the population to maintain the privilege of a few. So, I'm gonna go to the events in my city in solidarity with the folks in Baltimore. Just like I went to the solidarity events for Michael Brown and Eric Garner. And, I'll go to the events for Larry Jackson, an unarmed black man who was gunned down by an Austin police officer, despite having committed no crime (in a rare instance of sanity, the officer has been indicted on a manslaughter charge). I'm a white, middle class, male. I don't necessarily understand all of this...but, I know I can't tell an oppressed person how to respond to their oppression.
Apparently some people thought this was a sokal style hoax when it came out:

https://www.math.columbia.edu/~woit/wordpress/?p=7626

"There are rumors going around tonight that there’s been a hoax perpetrated on the arXiv, something like the Sokal hoax. This has to do with an hep-th posting entitled Riding Gravity Away from Doomsday, which has appeared under the name of a very prominent string theorist, Ashoke Sen, winner of the $3 million Milner Fundamental Physics Prize. What I’m hearing is that no one can believe that Sen could possibly have seriously written something this silly, so it must be some sort of hoax. Speculation is that the hoax could have been carried out to make the hep-th moderators look bad, by showing that they’ll agree to anything, no matter how absurd, if it invokes the Landscape and the multiverse. Some think that Sen’s account must have been hacked and then used to post the nonsense paper, others think that Sen himself is behind the hoax, having had enough of the Landscape business. I’ll update this as more information becomes available."

It's also a more boring version of the plot from Schild's Ladder by Greg Egan.

Here in Italy riots usually happen directly against the institutions.
