Assuming TLS is still unbroken, RTMPS (Flash RTMP over TLS tunnel) offers the most accessible form of end-to-end encryption. To avoid intermediaries you'd have to run your own Flash server (e.g. Red5) though.

Or copy a startup that limits itself to email / iPhone notifications (like e.g. peerby.com) and add SMS to have a much bigger reach.

You might also be falling victim to what I call the "Cialdini effect." After I read his Influence book I couldn't have a normal interaction with sales people for a long time, since every time I'd recognise the techniques I would feel manipu

In Europe I'd guess you'd be most at home in the Linux world. At the moment all the activity there is in virtualisation related companies, so I'd try to approach some of them and see if they've got something for you. I think NetApp is hirin

I'd like to add one more thing, in that if you're really trying to help, consider expose him to some NLP. NLP got a bad reputation from the people in the self-help industry that latched on to it, but at its core it's about modelling thought

It might be a bit unconventional, but if you're doing it to teach him to provide for himself why not actually offer him some money? Chances are he's already quite capable of programming, but has just never seen any real reason for picking i

Not cryptic but vague, which I can imagine if he's an employee. If yuhong is indeed a Yahoo employee and could give an inside view in the changes Marissa is making, I'd love to read a blog post with more details on that. If he can make Ma

I didn't consider that he could have meant the retaliation by the internet trolls. Yes those technically would be, although I still think using it in this context sullies the term hate crime.

You completely lost me here, but nothing in the SendGrid scandal even comes close to deserving the label hate crime. A hate crime is when some of my gay friends get their face beaten in once again because they were holding hands.

How do you find Enterprisey clients that let you work remotely? Is it also word of mouth like most regular enterprise work or do you make yourself heard in some specific communities?

Indeed. It's still quadratic time but it's a significant step up.

If you're looking for a simple solution that gets you close some of the way here ... consider mailing every error you get to GMail. I recently discovered that it's conversation grouping works quite decently for error messages.

It's officially not OK, but it does work. Just never do it multiple times in a row.

by mtrimpe 13y ago
Definitely. You should also consider tracking which letters have low recognition rates, since I guess it's mostly problems with things like Q vs O and Z vs 2.

Clojure was also the first mainstream (non-PF) language to implement Okasaki's as first class data structures. I know Scala quickly followed suit, since I remember Odersky bragging in a meetup that he went out of his way to find the scien

edit: Just to be clear, it does seem that adiabatic quantum computing can do factorization in quadratic time [1] http://arxiv.org/abs/0808.1935

by mtrimpe 13y ago
Indeed; you can't build a quantum CPU with D-Wave's system. It's conceptually more similar to a GPU which can solve a specific subset of (non-embarrassingly-parallel) problems in polynomial rather than exponential time, with the published n

I never considered that. So essentially once you go fully aerobic which / how many muscles you use isn't that relevant anymore.

king_jester was talking about the poor. I doubt telling poor people to want it more badly is going to have a huge positive effect.

I'm still surprised that they use only legs and arms. Intuitively I'd expect some form of curling up into a squat and extending back out to be able to capture the most energy from a human body.

A bit off topic, but I'm working on a video interviewing startup and one of the things we'd looove to offer is (semi-)automatic Chrome Keying / green screening to show just a person's torso and face. Might (one of) you know what's the sta

What I find even more mind-bending is that since premium brands often come from the same production line as cheaper brands, you're actually paying a company a premium to to convince you they're worth the premium for convincing you even more

Surprisingly enough this is one thing I really like Facebook for. I always select "Visible only to me" (and of course never grant messaging rights.) The app can't tell the difference and if I really like it I'll green light it once I see

Just for the record. I don't approve of generalising about religion and people like this and I don't agree with the points you're trying to make. The video also seems like a carefully crafted media stunt designed to make a point.
