What's the performance penalty for HTTPS anymore?

The words you're looking for are "these days". Screw the living language / regional dialect excuse.

The substitution with "anymore" more often than not doesn't work.

Cases in which it works:

• You just can't get regular Coke anymore.
• Doesn't anybody listen to Belgian jazz anymore?
• I don't know anymore.

I.e. negative statements.

Cases in which it doesn't work:

• Kids are just too spoiled anymore.
• Anymore Apple is dominating the tablet market.
• What's the performance penalty for HTTPS anymore?

Case that should get you shot if you ever use it, or similar:

• Who's counting anymore these days?

For more information and potential exculpation, see: http://positiveanymore.blogspot.com/2005/11/positive-anymore-what-heck-does-that.html

Further, this article did not say that he *tried* to get the plaintiff fired, so unless you're aware of something that wasn't stated in the article, I'm not sure how you can say that.

That's what the jury would have had to have found to get a verdict of tortious interference. According to his blog post, he first tried to submit the information to the U of M directly so they might fire him. And when that didn't work, he went public with the information, which both he and the U claim '"blew open" the issue of Moore's hiring and forced the hand of U of M decision-makers'. Apparently, the jury felt that this was more of an act of trying to get the guy fired, and less an act of informing the public (i.e. journalism).

Now, I do understand that laws can be screwed up, but the argument that I seem to be seeing here is that if I catch my coworker with child pornography on his computer and I tell someone about it, he can sue me if he loses his job over it.

Only if it can be shown that you were reporting the child pornography mainly to get your coworker fired, as opposed to reporting it because it's wrong and illegal.

Solr is great and all but there are quite some overheads with its use. Since its using a stack of different technologies Java, Jetty (or tomcat),Lucene, usually PHP etc. Dont expect to run it on a low spec machine it need fast disks, plenty of ram and can get cpu bound (depending on your requirements). Its also a bit of an artform to configure and get working optimally - this is excacerbated if the Solr stack is not given much breathing space to begin with. However Lucene, upon which it is built is a tried and tested and in use in a lot of high profile sites. Expect to spend a fair bit of time getting it right. Books like this are a definite requirement - but I have to admit I have this book(not sure if it is the same edition) and aside from a few nuggets of information, and explanations of some terms. It didnt really help me very much when i inherited a badly configured (read barely modified example config) setup. I found a lot more information from the official documentation and other sites on the web. I've blogged some of the things i've found - mostly for my own benefits but you are welcome to have a look http://solrjack.blogspot.com/ i welcome any input / corrections (again for my own benefit!).

Make sure you need all the features that Solr offers because there are alternatives out there such as Sphinx, which is still very full featured, but is a bit easier to get to grips with and doesnt have the overheads that Solr/Lucene has.

All I am saying is make sure you look at the alternatives, Sphinx being the main one.

John Hoff didn't just "inform people". He sought to enrage people. His blog reads like a crusade for hatred of anyone who's ever done something wrong. No forgiveness, no conscience, and no concern for actually promoting the "justice" he claims to seek.

The responsible thing to do would be to alert the research group of the conflict of interest, then let it go. Maybe Jerry Moore would still have gotten fired, and that'd be the end of it. That's not what happened, though. Instead, Hoff's blog post also attacks Moore's employers, calling them naive and questioning their credibility. It's pretty clear that his intent was to bias any critical review, and embarrass the research group into firing Moore, and that's illegal.

Maybe, as you implied, the research group was aware of Moore's history. Maybe it's what they wanted, but just couldn't take the bad publicity John Hoff was stirring up. Or perhaps Moore is repentant for his past wrongdoings, and is trying to set things right? Hoff never gave Moore a fair chance at redemption.

Don't know the employment law in Minnesota, but depending on how faculty/staff are classified (either state, or for-profit research division of the Uni.), I would think that the University would be liable for unfair termination. That is if Jerry Moore was not guilty of some legal or ethical breach of conduct, the University would be liable for unfair termination of a classified state employee without due process (hearing his side of the story). On the other hand, if he was an at-will research division employee then any perceived ethical breach could legally lead to a quick termination, and he doesn't even have to be guilty of any misconduct.

There is an off-hand comment in the story about the Westboro Baptist Church, and while that is a shallow comparison for the blogger in question, it does bring up a good point. We let those scumbags get away with their "protests" at military funerals in the name of freedom of speech. Freedom of speech does extend to the press when the reporting is based in fact, and is not libelous. Its a tiny bit hypocritical to not extend the same courtesy to a blogger, even if the blogger in question is just as much a scumbag. Briefly perusing his blog, he does seem to have a bone to pick with this guy. However, if you start putting conditions on freedoms, where do you justifiably stop?

I agree with you on two points, however. If the University fired Jerry Moore merely to save face (rather than some breach of ethical conduct prohibited by his employment contract) then that is wrong. In my opinion, that is the University's liability not the blogger in question. Also, 12 jurors agreed on this and anybody now reading this, only has some of the facts. Without having all the facts, I would like to place some confidence in a jury. Despite all the faults of the justice system, jury trials are one of the most direct ways to participate in government and actually test the law, more so than voting for representatives.

Does that mean we can extend our second amendment rights to possession of a concealed <flashy thing>?

In short, 1983 might have seen CDs come into existence, but I would say that they really didn't take off as consumer items until ~1992

That's about the time CDs started outselling cassettes. They started outselling vinyl in 1987. They went on to double their sales by 2000.

CDs really took off once CD players dropped below $100.

Welcome to Wikipedia - common sense means nothing, and they actually have to have ESSAYS on what constitutes "Wikilawyering", "Gaming the system", and pretty much every tactic that is adopted by asshole "admins" and their followers but forbidden to everyone else (even if you're trying to counter their own bad-faith scumbaggery).

Remember - you can learn a lot from what former admins write regarding how Wikipedia really works.

I'd LOVE to run a tech shop, or something very like it North of Seattle. http://lastonk.blogspot.com/2011/02/tech-shop.html Unless someone drops a few bags of money in my lap though... it will be at least five more years before I can afford to open one. In the meantime, I'm learning business management, and reading everything I can on the subject, and pinching pennies preparing for when I can do this.

Well, the slideshow does say "first look". So maybe the author simply wants to introduce the latest and greatest of Chrome 10 to users who want something more visual the release notes.

@Lennart: "If you list this notifier spec, then I can list you the sound theming/naming specs which KDE has shown no interest in."

that's an incorrect comparison.

if we (KDE) had offered a bunch of critique on the sound theme spec, had someone come to us with an implementation in Qt and then still gone off and done our own thing instead, then it would be an adequate comparison. but that isn't what happened, is it? :)

we (KDE) simply haven't gotten around to implementing the sound theming spec. why? as you note, it's not a high priority for us. but i guarantee you that if someone stepped up to do some work on the event sounds infra in kdelibs, stop #1 would be that naming spec.

also, this is not an odd "oops, we just didn't get around to it" event on the part of GNOME: how's that job D-Bus implementation in GNOME 3 coming? you know, the one that needlessly duplicates the one KDE implements, which we actually designed with thought of cross-project use including getting some feedback from non-KDE devs? or how about the screensaver D-Bus API which we implemented specifically with collaboration with GNOME devs at SUSE, only later to have GNOME not implement it and then complain to us that it used the org.freedesktop namespace? or how about how GNOME devs specifically blocked the formation of a common git repository for fd.o specs, and then when there was finally agreement (after an in-person meeting) insist on implementing it themselves, ignoring that repo had already been started but by people with @kde.org email addresses, and then after taking months to eventually duplicate that effort not implement the most critical part of it: the metadata?

in contrast, we could see how KDE implemented support for the visual notificatons D-Bus protocol as implemented in GNOME, even though it has evident limitations and is a 100% subset of something we already have in the form of KNotify ... simply to provide compatibility. would GNOME devs do that today? doubtful, because our priorities, as you point out, are indeed different.

what GNOME needs is not more apologists making excuses for poor behavior but people who will stand up and take ownership of their actions.

Joe Konrath has an interesting interview with independent writer John Locke who currently holds the coveted #1 spot in the Amazon Top 100 and has sold just over 350,000 downloads on Kindle of his 99 cent books since January 1st of this year which with a royalty rate of 35%, is an annual income well over $500k. Locke says that 99 cents is the magic number and adds that when he lowered the price of his book "The List" from $2.99 to 99 cents, he started selling 20 times as many copies - about 800 a day, turning his loss lead into his biggest earner. "These days the buying public looks at a $9.95 eBook and pauses. It's not an automatic sale," says Locke. "And the reason it's not is because the buyer knows when an eBook is priced ten times higher than it has to be. And so the buyer pauses. And it is in this pause - this golden, sweet-scented pause - that we independent authors gain the advantage, because we offer incredible value." Kevin Kelly predicts that within 5 years all digital books will cost 99 cents. "I don't think publishers are ready for how low book prices will go," writes Kelly. "It seems insane, dangerous, life threatening, but inevitable."

The story should have read:

In spite of the error, this particular submission is very thought provoking as evidenced by the number of comments it received and is one of my personal favorites. Please accept my apology for my mistake in attributing the statement about "The List" to John Locke, the subject of the interview, when the statement was actually written by Joe Konrath, the man who conducted the interview. I assure you that the mistake was completely inadvertent on my part.

I realise that in ask slashdot you were probably looking for geek/technical replies, so feel free to ignore this. I think the Tao principle of uselessness is the best solution to both privacy and security. The parable of the useless tree illustrates this well. If you have no money, you give out all your intellectual property free on the internet, and you don't have a need for expensive possessions, there should be no need for privacy and security. Naturally in the real world this is more a guideline than foolproof rule, to be useless to the US government you have to either have no interest in any kind of politics, or live in a country who's politics don't interest them. With the current economic rules regarding debt it has become virtually impossible to be useless to big corporations. But nevertheless I think it is an important principle to take into account when working out how to secure yourself. Think about how you are most useful to people who would harm you to use you, and see if there are ways you can become less useful to them.

"Almost every single book published since 1966 has an ISBN number. These days they all start 978, then there's another ten digits. The last one's a check digit made by multiplying the others up in a certain way.

So I wrote a program that searches Pi for ISBN numbers. Then it checks them to see if the check digit is a valid one. Then it looks the ISBN up on Google Books.

I got three hits in the first fifty million digits of Pi. It took about ten minutes. Actually, it took about three hours to write the thing properly, another hour debugging it, and a frustrated lie in the bath half way through. And about six cups of tea. Once it actually worked it was fairly quick though.

Don't forget that "futuristic" design nowadays means "add greebles and glowing bits", often with fancy flimsy parts folding out of nowhere. Compare the mechanical designs of, say, Syd Mead or Aramaki Shinji (ok, so Aramaki is a terrible director, point still stands), with something from the Transformers movies or Mass Effect. The former are big balls of greebles flung about the screen with wild abandon, and the latter is either fancy glowy fold-out guns or designs cribbed wholesale from Mead.

$5 a month? AT&T (my carrier) charges $20 a month on top of existing plans. Source: http://www.wireless.att.com/cell-phone-service/services/serviceDetails.jsp?LOSGId=&skuId=sku1160055&catId=cat1470003 (may have to enter a zip code) Why exactly do you think sending messages over the MAP signaling channel would be so expensive or resource-intensive? We're talking about a sub-protocol of GSM that was already in existence and in use for carrier-related messaging. We're also talking about max of approx. 1 KB per message. The message goes from your phone to a relatively simple routing node. It's best effort, so there's really not much overhead or verification. Not to mention if this routing infrastructure is really as expensive as you think, there's really no reason why they can't move it to the IP layer. That's how 3G and other non-GSM devices function, they wrap the SMS in their native data format. I've got a 3-year-old GSM phone with data capabilities. I don't think there's a single teenager, especially first-borns, that gets a cell phone and then doesn't go over the texting limit in the first month. Back in high school I remember people getting chewed out all the time for racking up something like $200 worth of overages. Honestly, we'd be better off without the telcos as they are.

Like I said don't let facts bother you.

"2012 will be a rich year for equity capitalizations, giving energy entrepreneurs the capital they need to build infrastructure." Sounds great, but it's wrong. The financial system is sick and corrupt and the capital he's talking about is largely an illusion. The major financial institutions (Citibank, JPMorgan, etc.) only present a facade of solvency because mark-to-market rules have been suspended, so they have been allowed to hold toxic assets on their books at the values their models predict (the models that were proved devastatingly wrong in the collapse of 2008) instead of what they could actually fetch in the market. If it were ever brought in contact with reality, the world financial system would die instantly. Instead it's basically being strung along by the U.S. federal government (i.e., taxpayers) in the hope that this was a one-time thing and at some point, something like solvency will return.

The fact is we are in a deflation right now, with debt-based capital disappearing from the system at a prodigious rate, while the U.S. Federal Reserve is using quantitative easing (i.e. manufacturing more debt on its own balance sheet) to hold the process back and try to restore growth. The financial system is sick just when we desperately need capital to start rebuilding our energy infrastructure. I would refer anyone to The Automatic Earth if they want to learn more about the energy and finance predicament that we're in.

We all know that 80% of global spam are sent by botnets. So the most effective way to reduce spam is to detect botnets, and clean up those malware-infected computers. That is exactly what China has been doing since 2009.

China government put two orders, "Notification Guidelines for Internet Security Incidents" and "Detection and Response Mechanism against Trojans and Botnets", into effect in June 2009. This builds the framework for all stakeholders to work together to track and dismantle botnets. The spam reduction we see today is just a by-product of their botnet mitigation effort.

While China is still high in my daily botnet chart, botnets within China has decreased quite alot. Eliminating malware-infected computers is the sure way to cut spam.

Although this release might have some puerile value for hard core fans, the cynic in me can't help but think it will turn into a 'Clash of the Titans' 3D hack job.

Insightfully wrong.
At least according to the US Supreme court, the right to free speech includes the right to anonymous free speech. Talley v California, McIntyre v Ohio, Watchtower v Stratton. Some lower courts refuse to follow these rulings.
Also according to the court, libel isn't part of free speech, although they interact, see NYT v Sullivan.
Here, a lower court issued a ruling allowing some discovery, without saying why.You can read the court's order at my blog, http://vark.blogspot.com./
  The affected parties, including the Indystar, can appeal. Indiana hasn't ruled on this question yet, but many states follow the Dendrite standard, saying that plaintiffs have to show they have a case before discovery is allowed. If the star doesn't appeal, this action by a single judge doesn't establish precedent.
It might also be possible for the affected posters to countersue with a free speech or due process claim.
