Imagine that this is just employing machine learning, where the training set is police reports filled out after the fact. Is this just big data being applied to threat prediction?

So, anyone else concerned that with all the various agencies clamering for crypto they can access, and the staunch refusal for researchers to provide it (and they say it's impossible), political leaders are going to point to something like this and say "see! here it is! let's use this."

The darkest possible outcome is something like this becomes mandated, and traffic is filtered to permit that crypto.

Is it fair to presume the docker person is going to be waiting a lot more for tests to run due to poor io performance?

You said "People need at least to know what public-key cryptography is before trying to use it." I think this is untrue. People really just need to know how to work with the technology, not understand what it's actually doing. Trying to explain the underlying principles makes it more confusing and thus, less safe.

Man, we need this for bridge

How would this development style be compatible with code reviews?

Canadian universities are all public though.

I think there is something real there, look at this: https://www.google.com/trends/explore?hl=en-GB&q=Reddit+alte...

You could probably see these trends as evidence of discontent, and from this view, reddit discontent is growing.

Web workers are real concurrency and afaik, there is no GIL that spans across the main thread and the worker threads in any of the browser implementations of web workers.

It's great how this sort of experimentation isn't really practical anymore. We really need a different model for allowing these sorts of enhancements without compromising security

I think that value proposition is very different for different people. For technical people, maybe it's a good idea. For non-technical people, I fear the indie web is very much out of reach.

Is one of the goals that people should be able to participate in the indieweb without having to reveal their identity? That is, people can participate pseudonymously?

Thank you for the reply. Very useful to know. I never got to try out sync.

Care to elaborate?

Shootouts seem rare, but https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2013_Los_Angeles_International...

It seems that TAFTA and TTIP are the same thing, no? https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2013/07/tafta-us-eus-trojan-tr...

It's not merely kindling, if you have a good single player story, it indicates versatility. This sounds like a good thing to have.

Hopefully, this is all fixed up now. What do you think? (Take a look at the demo again, should have all the latest changes)

Should be easy enough to remove ... happy to take a pull request to fix it!

This was just an idea.. I couldn't find anyone else trying to solve this issue. But .. give it a go. Seems to me that would only work for text though.

Oh :( It works for me. I'm using Version 6.0.2 (8536.26.17). What about you?

Checkout https://github.com/leapmotion/leapjs. Is this enough to get you started?

At Leap Motion we're doing some pretty bad ass C++. If you're serious, and see any good fits, feel free to email me back. jhull is the name part of my email address :)

What will this mean for RSUs?

So, this is an iPhone replacement? (my preferred way to read tweets on the toilet)

It really irks me that in these conversations, we don't talk about the rights of the children, instead, it's just seen as a sliding scale between the rights of the parents and the rights of the state.

Of course, all of this makes me think of Ogden Nash's poem "Don't Cry Darling, It's Blood Alright" ... two lines:

Innocent infants have no use for fables about rabbits or donkeys or tortoises or porpoises, What they want is something with plenty of well-mutilated corpoises.

(It's also crazy that I can't find a complete copy of a poem from 1935 online)

Actually, it uses file system events so the pushes occur instantly. However, the pulls are done with polling.

I'm curious, have you looked at http://reneerb.com/? I contend as well that Rails is not well suited to REST. As it stands, I think Renee is about 2x faster than Sinatra.

Oo. Great idea. I'll add that.
