You're joking, right?

EDIT: Google, 60+ billion cash on hand. Microsoft, 90 billion simoleons. Oracle: 45 billion with a B. Apple: 180 billion dollars American "piling up". So why exactly am I being downvoted?
The domain alexjray.com comes up as red and dangerous in WOT - https://www.mywot.com/en/scorecard/alexjray.com

Seems like it may have been a spam domain in the past, I would recommend making a forum post to get people to review your site and hopefully fix this.
I actually don't monitor the status myself, I monitor the status that each service publishes. That is, whatever they report on their status page, StatusGator aggregates.

The whole thing was born after I was racking my brain trying to debug a problem, then I remembered to check status.whatever.com and realized it wasn't my problem to debug and the provider was already aware of it. I thought it would be nice to get notifications as well as aggregate that info from all the different services I use.
While I love the idea, seeing `fly-*` packages makes me sad, although I understand the reasoning. Grunt had the same problem, and Gulp does to some extent, however Browserify and Gulp had the right idea where they allow you to use the direct Browserify package without requiring a wrapper. Those wrappers lag behind the actual library typically, and have their own quirks and debugging which is too much congnitive overhead at times.

That said, this is really interesting way of tackling a build system. I love the use of `exports` and generators make a lot of sense for this sort of control flow; I wrote a "block" system for Wordpress that used generators to allow you to render the blocks in a loop inside a template, pause execution of said loop and render more of the template, then continue on. Basically insertion points for completely dynamic layout and contents.
If I'm reading it right, the plaintiff here was appointed an "interested party" in some legal sense, which would give them the right of appeal? Am I misunderstanding that?
Is there a reason why they didn't try to put this probe into orbit around Pluto?
The 2nd Circuit didn't issue an injunction, so it wasn't binding anyway. As the article states, they intend to ask for one from the 2nd now.
Have you used cyanite in any meaningful way? The original author's (pyr) repo has been pretty dead.

This person has been doing a lot of good work:

I was thinking the usage of spicy spices was correlated to the heat of the country in order to sanitize the meat you eat. (Raw meat in hot envirnoment is the recipe for food indigestion, spices mitigate that.) It's more related to bacteria risks than social factors or west/east. For example, in French cuisine, a steak tartare (raw beef) will have more spicy spices then a regular curry. I believe the whole premise of this article is just wrong.
Yes basically if you build say 2 entangled bytes you'll basically get random data out of them every time you measure / set their state you'll basically get random data.

The only way to make the data "make sense" is to share the measurements between both observers on a side channel.

But and that's the big but which i don't understand and couldn't get a decent explanation from anyone who i know has some / more understanding that i do in QPT.

Yes i understand if you got 2 observers Alice and Bob both of them with a pair of say you got a pair of 12 entangled quantum bytes.

Bob can't tell by random measurement if Alice has done something since the state of his 12 qbytes is "random", however if the interpreted say say's Hello World! or I Just Changed It why Bob can't superimpose additional information he has such as the knowledge of the English language to interpolate that Alice actually did something.

On top of that the no information theorem is also tied to the no-cloning theorem which conflicts with well with how some one would explain quantum teleportation.

The explanation I managed to find is that the no-cloning and no-teleportation theorems do not prevent quantum teleportation but rather classical one which means that you cannot encode a quantum state into a classical system and then clone/teleport that information into another quantum system, but you can do it from one quantum system to another which is where my brains starts to scream.

where is the trial? at least let users try it for awhile.
hey andrew, yep I also think it's a great idea to refactor out the backend, would eventually be pretty handy if the security connect middleware could be spun out as a separate project. I think we have an open issue / enhancement to that affect in our github issues list.

In terms of how modern this approach is, part of the reason for open sourcing this is to invite developer feedback so that we can evolve the project. We hope over time we can keep pace with modern security practices, but not be a silver bullet.

Our aim is to provide a baseline level of security for developers right out of the box, for common web application protection.
Speech Recognition and Synthesis are in Safari -- though I don't know to the extent that it's as complete as Chrome. Safari definitely lagged behind though...
Wow, that is pretty rough. That's so rough that I would consider figuring out some way to export your data from that software and then visualize it with python/matplotlib or similar.
The last update was iOS 8.3 on April 8, 2015. Maybe there wasn't enough time to decide then.
Yes it is. The only place it's got traction is USA, and the USA is steadily becoming less of a global influence. That's not hyperbole, surely.

In a game where the user is key, having a small slice of the user pie gets you nowhere.
Understanding Style Precedence in CSS (2009)
Yes, but most text-editors can already parse out the format that the gnu compilers emit, so why not do that?
Ideally, as a means of abstracting and controlling changes between your build and deploy steps and the third party tooling. Bash scripts are either too fragile for sufficiently complex applications, and therefore unlikely to be reusable. Additionally, if the script is sufficiently complex, then you have an additional complex component that you have to maintain yourself. For many projects, this is a non-issue, but for others, it can be quite the ordeal.
I think it might not carry enough fuel for the orbit insertion.
remember that non controlled measurements are worthless.

same time they started water fluoridation the population also started to pay attention to brushing their teeth. or do you think the govt took the initiative at any point in history?
> Chrome just chokes on it for a long time - the tab uses 1.7GB of memory while it is still loading!

Chrome 43.0.2357.130 m (64-bit) on Windows 8.1 here, takes 787.6 MB for me (with uBlock). If I open an Incognito window (i.e. no extensions) it takes 109 MB. Not sure where this discrepancy is coming from. Chrome's responsive the whole time.

Spotify isn't much better. I think its designed so that I crash my car while navigating through a complex maze of menus with something that should only take a single click. (For example just try to "Star" a song. Its like 6 clicks)
How much did ABP pay Mozilla?
Kind of a shame. I use itunes mac daily and I feel they've really did a great job with the UI. It has a little learning curve. I have a lot of songs and making/ adding to my current playlist is pretty easy and powerful.

music for ios is another story...

Hopefully this 1.0 and they'll improve.
This.

I worked at Microsoft for nearly 14 years. I had the privilege of working on 4 very different teams (microBrowser, Palladium/Bitlocker, Robotics, Midori)

So in many respects it was like working at 4 different companies, in that respect I avoided the pigeonhole trap (which certainly also applies when you do move companies) but over time I accumulated corporate cruft which ended up dragging me down. Moving to a new company allows you to reset that.
Not really, for two reasons:

1. You don't have the users to test yet.

2. This is what really makes it untenable - what is the logo for, what does effective mean, 90% of where? This is why brand creation is expensive as hell. There's a lot of work involved and by definition it is bespoke and without shortcuts. That's the whole point or it wouldn't be brand creation in any sense. When you see a logotype, it's just the tip of the iceberg.

I suspect that a lot of people might think of branding as including these cheap services where an underpaid young offshore photoshop whizz throws together an infinity symbol, dolphin, or generic swoosh and even goes so far as to hand kern some text (and bear in mind that even this kind of junior typographic task can't be automated yet).

I would argue that this isn't a ghetto version of the kind of branding that a large company does, but a cargo cult version. The logotype part is highly visible but is the tiniest component of branding - it is superficial and meaningless in isolation. Very much unlike this process, real branding is about discovering and generating an extremely high input of info and ideas and turning this into a very small and focused output, articulating the essence. (And of course a big part of the cost for a large org is that you often need to cover things like web, print, letterheads, reports, sides of trucks, and so on. All whilst maintaining brand consistency.)

Assuming you can't afford to pay for full branding, I think the best solution is to do just enough (e.g. many here might just need something for digital and business cards) and for it to be done by someone close to the company owner of even the owner themselves, as they will live and breathe what the company is for and what makes it distinct. Even poorly executed, this will communicate a much clearer story and have real value imo (trying to avoid the word authentic here but it's probably applicable).

I was sort of hoping to read a usability analysis of the site from someone more experienced than me.
Probably some social justice crusader looking to affect the gentrification of SF.
I feel like the languages I frequently use (scala) don't have usability issues. This looks nice but about the same.
As has been noted, this is for timesyncd, usage of which is entirely optional. Additionally, as boneheaded as it is to use ntp servers from a single corporate entity when ntp.org exists, you can address this by setting your own ntp servers in the timesyncd conf file.

http://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/timesyncd.co...

FWIW, I really like timesyncd being there out of the box with systemd. It is exactly what I want, and nothing more, about 99% of the time when dealing with ntp synchronization.

EDIT:

Let me add that if you want to specify ntp.org servers right now you can add or edit the following stanza to your /etc/systemd/timesyncd.conf file:

[Time]
NTP=0.pool.ntp.org 1.pool.ntp.org 2.pool.ntp.org 3.pool.ntp.org

Want to buy a social network with millions of users?
The reason that I am writing this anonymously is that I don’t want to upset my users or cause a panic.

I am the sole owner of a location-based social network with 3 million users (250,000 monthly active users) that generates $200,000 a year in profit. All of these stats are growing, albeit not very quickly. It has taken me many years to get to this point and honestly, I am exhausted. It has been a lot of fun, but I’m ready to build something different. It is generating too much money (and has too loyal of a user-base) to just shut it down though. I’d really like to find someone who would be willing to buy the entire thing from me. I would be happy to commit to a year to help during the transition.

This is too informal and small-time for any larger company to want to purchase. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to find a buyer? Does such a buyer even exist?
It's truly bizarro world if you think the Spotify UI is good.
Ah I love it. The manager who is shocked to find out people want money. And then the excuses...

* I forgot about that, why didn't you confront me every single day about it

* We were just gonna raise your salary anyway, we just kept it secret

* We were just going to implement the promised equity plan now, we just didn't tell anyone to be a surprise

* Ah yeah the shares turned into options with zero context

* The options turned into 1 year forward priced options, but you will get more, nevermind we hoped you don't notice
people have talked about only hearing one side of the case, but that's the same for all warrant proceedings.

FISA court isn't about declaring people guilty, it's about declaring whether there's reasonable suspicion.
The only way to prevent surveillance is with a technical solution (encryption), not a legal solution (more laws).

I'd say both have their place however focus on protecting the legality of encryption, not on making it illegal to spy. Bolster security by design with law, don't use law to haphazardly stop spooks from doing spooky things.
I guess I should mention that GPS position is a perfectly normal thing to include in a telemetry stream.
Seems to check out with the numbers.

6200 HIV adults and a stable population says something like 3100 are female and with 30 child bearing years and two children over that period about 200 of them should give birth each year. A 1% probability of passing along HIV with the retroviral treatment gives 2 HIV babies a year.

(I'm actually a little surprised when a news article's math works.)
I still have a soft spot for WebSQL over IndexedDB - way easier to work with, incredibly powerful, brought the speed and reliability of SQLite. However, WebSQL only ever managed to have one implementation (Chrome and Safari shared WebKit at the time), and the other vendors besides Opera didn't want to touch it. So it's long since time to accept that it's dead.

What bothered me most about the IndexedDB fiasco with iOS8 is that Apple not only held out for so many years, but then they deployed a broken implementation. Anybody who had written an app using an IndexedDB shim either had a crashed site at best or lost user data at worst. YDN-DB author Kyaw Tun had the best quote: "I don't understand how they can release this."

Whether you like an API or not, a browser vendor should at least release it in good faith if they're going to release it.
I agree with step 1: Go kick ass, but I would make it a bit more specific.

Make your managers (and if possible his managers) life easier. Use your skills to solve their problems. If he knows he can count on you, and you do work that make sure he can do his job he will be in your corner.

I don't mean to suck up, just when your are doing your magic make sure it is on something that everyone else considers a problem that needs to be solved now. I have seen a few people who have done really clever stuff, but it was on things that wasn't critical for the success of the project.
Analyse Asia 42: Lazada vs. MatahariMall in Indonesia with Rama Mamuaya
I hate to be the person who nitpicks, but

> I turned on the Beats1 station to see if it was any good, heard some rap "music", and then very very quickly turned that station off.

It's OK not to personally like specific genres, but please don't go as far as to dismiss those you don't like as not being "music".
Cool site! Any plans to add IBM Bluemix? Their status page is at https://developer.ibm.com/bluemix/support/#status

Though it likely de facto requires the systemd init, since it allocates a Manager object with its cgroup hierarchy setup, signal handlers, loading the udev library context (remember that systemd-udevd's moving away from Netlink means it'll be systemd-only) and all that.
Synopsis: In this episode, Rama Mamuaya, founder of DailySocial.net discussed the fierce competition on ecommerce in Indonesia between two powers: Lazada (Rocket Internet) vs MatahariMall (Lippo Group). What are the implications to the whole Indonesia ecommerce market? Rama dissects how the war between both ecommerce entities will play out and how it affects the other ecommerce companies such as Tokopedia (which raised US$100M from Softbank) in Indonesia. We reviewed the Indonesia ecommerce market in general with respect to growing internet and mobile penetration, modes of payment from bank transfer to cash on delivery, and also how the second tier cities beyond Jakarta are fuelling the growth of the tech industry.
Exactly my thoughts and pretty much the only reason I use Rdio instead.
Perhaps "Article III court"?
Those exact quotes stood out to me as well. It is obnoxious to listen to someone act as if his culture's cuisine is somehow objectively superior, almost like he doesn't recognize that people have tastes.
Truly spicy food has typically been found only in the tropics ... and Korea. Chili peppers are strictly new world, but people in eg India/China used other piquant ingredients before the Portuguese introduced them. I have never seen a cogent explanation for the distribution of piquant cuisines.

Until very recently, mostly everyone has been a vegetarian so I don't believe your meat proposal is the whole story. Having said that, Indian not only differs from French food in terms of spiciness. As the article points out, Indian food has a much wider range of seemingly uncomplimentary flavors - recipes are typically a couple of dozen ingredients which is uncommon in the West.
I would take 5 pretty good hard working developers that really want to ship a good project instead of 1-2 superstars any day.

There are exceptions, for some projects your really need a superstar. Designing new APIs to be used by millions is one example. But for 90% of the projects we work on superstars are not needed.

Another flaw: The Y-axis should be log scale.

In any stock market chart for 5+ years, the Y axis should be log-scale. The stock market tends to go up exponentially over time. If you don't use a log scale, then old prices look flat while recent changes are distorted.

(^DJI interactive chart max time interval)

http://finance.yahoo.com/echarts?s=^DJI+Interactive#{%22rang...

Notice how, on the linear scale, the 1987 crash looks like nothing, but on the log scale, it's obviously one of the biggest dips.

The OP makes the same error. Private equity valuations go up exponentially over time for the same reason that the stock market goes up exponentially over time. Since his time horizon is more than 5 years, the Y-axis should be log scale. He's artificially exaggerating more recent gains by using a linear scale.

Also, with a log scale, he wouldn't need to use a different chart for seed/A/B/C/D.
New is new tunes (or new to the service, presumably), For You is things picked for you from your loved genres.
You can disable that. The only questionable part is who decides what ads should be allowed when that setting is on. Here I agree, if AdBlock developers are paid for whitelisting, such practice is very questionable. Are they?
For some kinds of cancer a gunshot to the head is the humane choice
It depends on the size of the company. Once past a certain size, there is not much a manager, even at director level can do to give an employee a raise out of review time. The HR "partner" have a big rule book on compensation and the poor manager can only "slot" his/her reports into a predefined range. A startup does have more flexibility to adjust compensation.
This infuriates me, as I assume it infuriates a lot of people. What the fuck can we do, short term, and long term?
Wish there was an equivalent service but with masked images of wine bottles. Always wanted to create something like Delicious Monster but for wine cellars. All the sites/apps doing it are pretty ugly or largely text based.
faced similar dns issues using the default name server that ec2 points to. We ended up running bind.
I am trying to think of a good word to encapsulate this concept.

Its the difference between Picasso's line drawings and a child's scribble, the difference between a maguro and otoro cut of tuna, the difference between a script kiddy's work and the sophistication of stuxnet. To a laymen they are the pretty much indistinguishable. But for those who have the experience to know the difference, suggesting the two are equivalent is fairly ridiculous.
Meh, this is a bit overly dramatic. I've played around with the interface briefly and really didn't find it that bad.
The study doesn't account for the fact that many people don't brush their teeth daily, or more than once a day. :-/

Yuck.
What do you think? WINK WINK.
The judicial Power of the United States, shall be vested in one supreme Court, and in such inferior Courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish. The Judges, both of the supreme and inferior Courts, shall hold their Offices during good Behavior, and shall, at stated Times, receive for their Services a Compensation which shall not be diminished during their Continuance in Office.

Congress has an authority to create courts as they see fit, now FISA might not be perfect it might be a complete disaster, but it's not unique as all modern courts have issues on being completely transparent at all times.

For example court orders such as search and seizure, peak and enter, wiretap etc' cant be public for obvious reasons since you can't argue that when you need to tap some one's phone to gather enough evidence to convict them of a crime you can make it public.
You could also argue that such warrants violate the whole "innocent until proven guilty" posture by simply issuing a warrant before there's actual evidence of that a crime has been committed, or in fact it allows the state to force people to incriminate them selves in future crimes.

Now back to the FISA court the hearings and it's orders on specific efforts against specific targets can't be public, some oversight and process transparency might be possible but you can't make a court like that public.

That said the US is pretty much the only country which actually has a court like that, everyone spies, not to the extent that the US does but no one else have those resources, but I haven't heared about any other country in which the intelligence services have not only executive/legislative oversights but also judicial.
