That's what made me angry- that CloudFlare's service would be considered "active". They weren't choosing to help aid infringement. They didn't see the content and go "ooh! let's stick it to the man!". They likely weren't even aware of the content itself and were just aware that another domain was using their service. The infringing individual signed up for their services and the legal services were provided. Or maybe I have that wrong?

I guess I framed my comment wrong when trying to hold back my rage :)

To clarify my thoughts about it, DNS / caching / optimizing to me is an infrastructure-like service. CF is not an ISP, but it is a in-between that simply provides services to help keep sites online and fast. CloudFlare is content-agnostic in this way.

I guess the weakness of my argument in that regard is that if CF is confronted with information showing that their service, even passively, is aiding illegal activity, and they refuse to intervene or investigate- that becomes a problem. Because even with the service being passive, it's still aiding (without intent), but their refusal to intervene makes it seem like they have some intent to continue aiding the activity.

Man, what a mess of words this turned out to be, sorry.

Injection moulding is one of those ubiquitous technologies that appears deceptively simple (heat plastic; squish into mould; eject), but in reality is amazingly complex.

The number one fact people seem to know about it is "Oh, the mould tooling is really really expensive", which is kind of true, but doesn't really tell the full story.

The issue is that the mould is operating at very high pressures, rapidly temperature cycling, and still requires very high accuracy. Plus you need it to survive for the life of your production run.

On a large scale, this means using hardened steel[1[ milled or EDM'd from a solid block. The texture of the inside of the mould cavity directly determines the surface finish of your parts, so it needs to be polished mirror smooth, even though it's probably not flat.

Then it gets even more fancy. The moulds usually need channels bored through them as close as possible to the cavity, which will allow coolant to be pumped through to set the plastic faster so it can be ejected. Some complex shapes also have internally embedded heating elements to keep the plastic liquified for long enough to reach where it needs to be.

Then you have the ejector mechanisms, usually some pins driven pneumatically to push the solid moulding out of the fixture at the end of the cycle. They need to retract to precisely the right depth during moulding otherwise you end up with those little dimples characteristic of IM parts.

And it gets crazier still: some parts will have embedded metal or other plastic parts such as bearings or threaded screw inserts. These get inserted each cycle by a robotic fixture when the mould is open. It then closes up and the plastic is injected around them. Doing this with multiple types or colours of plastic is the 'double-shot' technique that lets you put rubberised grips or other embedded features into things.

Oh, and time is money, so each part is ejected as soon as possible to start on the next cycle, so everything has to be incredibly delicately choreographed, but left long enough that you get a decent yield of useable parts.

When I learned about all of that (and probably a whole lot more I don't know), it makes sense how expensive the whole thing is upfront. There's also the costs incurred by your factory in shutting down production to change out the tooling to run your job.

One of the coolest things I've seen online is Kenneth Maxon's home-made injection moulding rig[3] (although just about all the other things he does are pretty astounding too. I'd claim it's only technically home-made because he lives there ;p)

[1] Protomold[2] get away with doing it a lot cheaper because they mill moulds out of aluminium, which is much less durable but entirely acceptable for short production runs.

Finding a good accountant isn't easy, but I would recommend looking for something better than Crunch. They were the default option "just pick Crunch", but I had to do a lot of tax research myself and recommend favorable approaches to their accountants on certain non-standard things. I also felt their first line of support is spread very thin and they put a lot of bookkeeping work on me. Then a lot of services cost extra each month, making their total pricing uncompetitive. In the end I got everything done and they did their best to rectify issues, but it was a big burden on my time and significant amounts of stress.

Maybe I would have had this issue with any accountants as a first time contractor, but I know it could have been better and I would have happily paid more to make it so. Do yourself a favor and pay extra to get an accountant that handles more things on your behalf (bookkeeping, VAT filing, etc) preferably with a simple non-proprietary interface.

I haven't tried these two services but if I go back to a UK accountant they'd be at the top of my list.

The idea is great, the concept of creating professional grade tools for something is admirable, but in this particular case, whats wrong with Brackets/Sublime/DW/Notepad and a web browser? I find trying to use these new tools results in me spending most of my time either fighting with them or writing custom code outside of them to get what I want done anyway. The website itself looks cool but has an awful frame rate on my i7 Laptop with 16GB of RAM and a Quadro 1GB, which isnt exactly slow.
I think there are two challenges here. First, opting out of major publication venues is essentially sacrificing your career (no funding/tenure). Second, researchers simply don't have free time to start up an alternative publication system. I think the funding agencies can do a lot more here though...
I appreciate the performance benefits of Go; but I never want to deal with it. I just look at the code and I vomit a little in my mouth. I love what ruby does for me and I think i'd sooner reach for JS on the server than for Go.

That said, I appreciate their pragmatism. Rails got them started and they had to optimize things as they grew, and they found they outgrew rails; and I think that's fine. I think it would have been a mistake for them to try using Go from the start; a tempting takeaway some might have.
it's actually easier to write it in css than in ruby as it has all the animations toolset already in place
We were thinking on the same lines. IBM System/38 was truly a brilliant, integrated design in so many ways. Even had capability-security built into the hardware. Check it out at the reference below. Intel made a monster of a system too. Would love to have either on a SOC or an inexpensive server.

True although the commercial deployment of NIR face recognition isn't that extensive (I'm not saying it doesn't exist however). I know for our company's software that academics have been trying to use it with NIR images even though our software wasn't trained at all for it.

I do think that NIR will eventually become more important (especially for car applications) and really the main stumbling block is massive sets of training data for it.

When recruiting, I do check applicants resumes for a pattern to their tenure. I am recruiting to solve a problem, and I don't want that problem to recur too quickly. I know that programmers can usually find new jobs much more easily than other professions and than spending 5+ years with one company is unusual.

I expect new grads to switch jobs after 12-18 months. This is a pattern that most (maybe all?) companies find hard to break. Wanderlust is natural at this stage in your career. It's not a problem.

It's not unusual for some people to join one workplace and leave after less than 3 months. Bad fit/dubious hiring practices/poisonous work environments happen. It's often better to leave quickly, especially if you still have irons in the fire from previous job hunting efforts. Again, not a problem.

However, an application with 10 years of experience across 10 different positions may have a problem. That does not mean that it will prevent you from getting an interview, but it does mean that I am going to ask you about it, so have a good explanation ready.

Isn't that the nested set model mentioned in the post itself?
The vast majority of modern malware no longer monitors either the clipboard OR keyboard. It hooks right into the browser or sometimes network stack.

So when you submit a form the malware records what was in the form and just as important where that form was submitted to (i.e. what URL).

Without context (the where) the information (the what) is near worthless. Aside from toy malware nobody actually logs keys anymore, the term "keylogger" is just a word, it isn't literal.

Source: I have looked at the leaked source of commercial (in the black market) malware. A core part of this malware is automation for resale, nobody is going to read through hundreds of pages of someone's clipboard and keystrokes to figure out what page they're on, and it is by far a more difficult route than just breaking into the browser, hooking Win32 functions, or hooking into the network stack before encryption occurs.

FWIW, I'm about as old as ARPANET. I also have a special interest in information systems of the 1950s and 1960s - the era of the "information explosion" - and have been reading many papers and essays from that era.

What you say about the Gray Lady is true, but only a part of history. I'm also old enough to remember Walter Cronkite's "And that's the way it is" signoff. You might remember that Johnson is said to have said "If I've lost Cronkite, I've lost Middle America" after Cronkite's "Report from Vietnam: Who, What, When, Where, Why?" editorial.

"The New York Times (primarily) really replaced the Catholic Church as the cultural maypole."

That is nonsense. For one, it's American-centric, as "The Times" of London (and source for Times New Roman) used to be much more important on the world stage than the NYT. The NYT both started later than The Times, and derived its name from the London paper. Remember, it was The Times (of London) which first reported on Krakatoa, which was the first major natural disaster to appear after the world-wide telegraph was put into place. Not the NYT. And London was the world center in telecommunications.

For another, the US was anti-papist long before the NYT started. The Catholic church was not a 'cultural maypole' in the US. (And how delicious to use the pagan maypole to describe the Catholic church! But do you mean 'touchstone'?) We were still wary about Catholicism in 1960, which is why Kennedy declared "I am not the Catholic candidate for President. I am the Democratic Party's candidate for President who also happens to be a Catholic. I do not speak for my Church on public matters – and the Church does not speak for me."

Early American anti-papist leanings come from its British cultural heritage. Great Britain was institutionally anti-Catholic since the Act of Supremacy of 1534 and restrictions against Roman Catholics were still in place until full Catholic Emancipation in 1829.

It's easy to prove me wrong. The NYT started in 1851. Can you demonstrate how the Catholic church was an important 'cultural maypole' in the US before then?

> I think we agree TV was a major technological creation and certainly changed society but it did not challenge the newspapers for social power and influence

Yet there are articles like "The Kennedy-Nixon Debates: When TV Changed the Game" describing the growing social power and influence of televion http://time.com/26035/kennedy-nixon-debates-1960-the-tv-land... . And the modern day Hearst is Rupert Murdoch, who started in newspapers (and bought 'The Times' and 'The Wall Street Journal') and also several TV networks, including Fox News, which he uses to help influence US policy.

It's hard to argue that Fox News does not have significant social power in the US.

And the major cultural development, from sports to political debates to "Game of Thrones" to satirical news sources likes "The Daily Show", are still structured as TV shows, even when they are 'broadcast' over the internet.

The German "decade flip" is restricted to the tens and unit places; otherwise the order is English-like, with larger terms leading.

The cardinal number systems for most major languages lead with larger terms (as in English). I don't think there's anything deep about this, it's probably an accident. And there are languages which lead with smaller terms, such as Malagasy (the national language of Madagascar).

The ordering of digits in Arabic is not obviously relevant, per se, since spoken English ("one hundred twenty one") matches the order of the Arabic numbers, too.

Thanks, I actually searched initially for metronidazole and lyme disease through pubmed (which is the Google of medical literature) and passed over one interesting article that could support its use (fortunately not behind a paywall):

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3132871/

However, this study was done on petri dish cultures of borellia and didn't actually look at whether or not it improved symptoms in people (which I imagine is a difficult thing to study in this field).

When I searched for borrellia and metronidazole there was one more article for in vitro use from the 1990s:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10379684
I'm not very good at maintaining an even tone on this issue, because it increasingly strikes me as an issue of fundamental human rights. So forgive my aggressively anti-border position, probably far out of the mainstream.

I'm not completely alone in my minority view though. The UN human development report put it this way, "mobility is a fundamental element of human freedom [and] entails the freedom to seek opportunities to improve living standards, and health and education outcomes, and/or to live in safer, more responsive communities."[1]

Doesn't that have at least some intuitive appeal? What if you've relocated to a city from a surrounding town, (as most people in America have been doing since at least 1950 [2]). Suppose someone took you out of your current home and returned you to the town you grew up in as a child. Would that be fair in any sense of the word?

If someone from Wyoming can move to Miami for a better opportunity, then why not someone from far closer, and likely even far more culturally similar? Someone from Haiti or Cuba?

More than anything, when people rebut the notion that everyone should be allowed to pursue a better life, regardless of the circumstances of their birth, it reminds me of Texas's argument against abolition. Its articles argued that abolitionists were foolishly "proclaiming the debasing doctrine of equality of all men, irrespective of race or color--a doctrine at war with nature, in opposition to the experience of mankind, and in violation of the plainest revelations of Divine Law."[3]

It seemed pretty horrible then, and it seems pretty horrible now.

Or as Caplan put it, Your fellow "Americans are not the master race." You wouldn't kill for them. Why condemn others to poverty for them? Why not have hearts that bleed, not only for your compatriots, but also for the hard working immigrant? [4]

Besides, computer science grads are fine anyway. I know it feels besieged if you're working in the field, but it's really not.[5-10] There are more pressing problems than protecting one of the safest bachelor-only disciplines available.
