Great Job. I tried the apps from the market place. Everything runs flawless. Anybody seems to have a market place these times and I really like the idea :)

Canadian Thanksgiving.
I've thought about it -- it's not difficult to port iPad apps to other iOS devices -- I guess it depends on demand.

People are more likely to share iPads of course, but for hackers the other things you can use Switch for (juggling site logins, testing without cookies) are just as relevant on the iPhone.
Craigsphone is a must have for me... Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
It's easy to inflame passion on the net, most people just never try.
"I think some people live in a fairy tale world."

You're also in a fairy tale world if you think that 'axis of evil' countries are not going to get their hands on whatever opensource software they like. Most of this stuff is mirrored all over the place and so there is little one can do to stop this (assuming it is worth stopping them in the first place).
But, it is possible to be profitable (even have increasing profits) but still have problems at the top. See http://steveblank.com/2010/06/07/when-big-companies-are-dead... for some anecdotal evidence.
Did anyone claim video calls would surpass voice calls? I don't think even Apple made such a claim.
I heard that some companies actually like the fact that mainstream sites don't work in IE6 now, as it reduces the time employees spend fribbling around on the internet. Of course, anywhere competent would find a better way to screen traffic.
hehe, same here. I actually managed to answer a phone call from a colleague trying to wake me up, tell him that i'm on a bus heading there and go back to sleep. Fast forward a couple of hours, I woke up not remembering that at all.

He was mad, as he pulled a double shift because of that, but hey...beauty sleep :D

NSA denies mind-reading allegations: "We do not 'view' Americans' thoughts, they're stored in a secure database that only non-sentient neural networks can access". What do you think? Share your thoughts with CNN with our free app.
>So, why not change THAT and store them encrypted with a master key?

They are; it's called your user account password.

If you mean an extra password, the answer is that most people don't want to type in a password when they open their browser. And even if they did, then the argument would be "well they leave their browsers open, so it should ask for a password every time", which defeats the whole purpose of password saving.

Think it through and try to see the issue.
This is way too narrow in general, and a number of the points are just wrong. He spends a lot of points talking about "clients" and "revenue" like every successful company has those right off the bat.

My absolute favorite is the irony of #21 (Should I focus on SEO? No), when this post was originally published on Quora.
To be fair, the first three paragraphs didn't have anything to do with the author's point. They just kept talking about all the wonderful thigs he's capable of doing even if he's not qualified for them.

I would have rather had a more fleshed out point about people and a sentence about how the author is a problem solver than so much about what he can do and then some stuff about other people.

This ignores the point? At a lower than minimum wage, you still don't have happy labour

I am curious why she would use word length and exclamation/emoji/question mark ratios but not check for spelling or punctuation? Surely they are more indicative of someone's level of education and reading habits.
These consumer protection laws protect you regardless of the manner of payment: bitcoins/dollars/whatever.

You CAN and SHOULD use the legal tools at your disposition (lawsuit, small claim court, FTC/BBB complaints...) if you get scammed after paying in bitcoins. You definitively have a chance of recourse. These tools work, that's why we have them.

For example the U.S. Securities Exchange Commission successfully prosecuted Trendon Shavers (he was running his scam denominated in bitcoins).

Well, just as a defense-in-depth, in case of a Firefox 0-day (or 90-day) or something, it'd minimize a leak, slightly?

Edit: Oh, also, since compulsion to reveal keys might be an issue, it's better if there's nothing around. In the US it seems to be if the prosecution can convince a judge that they really did see evidence but you since re-encrypted. I wouldn't want to rely on a judge in that case. Although at this point one is probably cooked but still.
>So then, what was the point of that comment? What was it trying to persuade the thread about? Serious question; I'm not asking so that I can rebut you.

Well, for one the point is that you govern by example, and the example of giving the corrupt elit a "get out of jail free card" is bad for society. So, the comment could be read as: punish all guilty, don't selectively punish.

Another point to be made reading the comment is that there are essential crimes any moral citizen should abhor (such as torture and imprisonment without due process) that are going unpinished because those in power like them, and stuff that has no real merit to be illegal or to be punished that harshly but that it is, because those in power don't like it.

Nobody would read it as advice to not punish theft, domestic abuse etc because there's officially santioned torture that goes unpinished.
A service like this existed until a few years ago.

It took just a few minutes to get to EWR or JFK and cost $159. The biggest selling point was not only the short commute, but that you went through security at the helipad very quickly, rather than waiting at the airport.

I believe they were a victim of the financial crisis and died around that time.

> Or is bitcoin still treated like a risky asset and nothing more?

I always find this sentiment a little funny, because I think payments are the least interesting thing about Bitcoin. Fast and easy payments will come in time with crypto, but in most developed countries the credit card system is a safer and easier consumer alternative anyway.

Crypto is way more than payments, it's an entirely new financial system outside the control of existing governments and corporations. If you don't understand why this is way more important that being able to buy a coffee easily, you haven't been paying enough attention. There's only so many options for long term wealth storage, and crypto represents an entirely new class, so from a hedging perspective it makes sense for all high wealth individuals to have a small allocation. We're reaching the point where you're at a greater long term risk not holding any.

As more money is stored in crypto and more trust placed in it, there will naturally be more desire from those users to be able to easily use it for consumer purchases, so give it time. But again, the most interesting stuff is what's being built out now, which is an alternative to the legacy financial system, not a Visa competitor.
>If you were working 80% as much, they would probably only be able to pay 70% of your salary.

...why? Unless there's an implication that they'd need to hire more people, why would they need to pay you less? If you're generating the same amount of revenue, just working fewer hours, their fixed profit should be able to cover your fixed healthcare whether you work 80% of the time or 10% of the time. As long as they aren't incurring additional expense by hiring multiple people to do the same job to facilitate fewer hours.

A shorter work week obviously can't work for all businesses, but there are plenty that have tried it and found that workers spend more time working and less time socializing with a shorter work week (which would seem to be a win for everyone).
Sounds a lot like eclipse of yore...

So you're saying that physical media is better than a USB cable? Like the poster above, I do not see the practical difference here. In one case, you're transferring an SD card from one device to the other. In the other, you're taking a cable and pluging in the device into a PC and letting it sync. Realistically, the USB method is just slower.

Plus, unless you're switching phones every month, the full-on sync only happens occasionally.

If you want to backup your device, you still need a separate entity(either a cloud service or a PC) anyway. You need to copy the SD card's contents to something else, and that requires a PC for storage. Restoring from a cloud storage service still requires time and bandwidth, so again, practically, that's basically the same as plugging in a device.
Yes. Scares me too much to even consider the service.
I am a dev (though not on frontend/UI stuff). But that's exactly the point. Many users are for the most part pretty stupid, and that is reality. Unusable software is unusable.
I didn't mean to avoid that question. I think I answered it implicitly: if you care about it then take control of it.

There's a lot that you can do about your employee that you can't to with Google. You can educate them, align their motivations with yours, etc. You can review the process and make sure it doesn't depend on one person. The list goes on.

Of course there are times to outsource. Times when practicality makes it necessary, when money makes it desirable, and so on. I do not take issue with the very idea. Sometimes it's the right choice. But sometimes it's the wrong choice.

Sounds like they provide two versions:

GPL version with no support.
NON-GPL version with support.

This is a widely used method for monetizing own projects with enterprises as they feel safer using NON-GPL apps/code for perceived legal issues.
What I don't understand is who are they targeting this towards? Hacker School might have started as a place to teach the general public to code, but the only people who seem to get into that place now are already in the industry, or were already looking to join the industry in which case they should understand the term hacker. It's not like my mother will suddenly sign up because they changed the name.
I created an account back in 2005. It started out being a great way to re-connect with friends that I had lost track of and then to keep in touch. I deleted my account two years later for the following reasons.

1. I had come to believe FB couldn't be trusted with my data.

2. The more friends I gained the worse the experience became. It went from people showing their vacation photos, which I was ok with, to a stream of meaningless nonsense that I didn't want to see. I.e Yeah, OK, you had a coke at lunch, but should I really care?

3. It became an unpleasant chore having to keep on top of even the valid activity.

It's worth noting that in the last year of use I just put a status up declaring that I no longer actively used Facebook so please contact via email instead, but the distrust of Facebook grew to a point where I ultimately decided to delete my account.

I'll never go back, and I hear they're full of ads now.
A more appropriate example might be Python. It didn't ship with Pip by default until Python 3.4 (released in 2014).
I bought this a couple of weeks ago. Works pretty well with xubuntu 14.04.

I don't have it with me, so I will update this comment when I get home with specifics. Many of these may be xubuntu oddities more than general Linux issues.

Issues so far:

* wifi does not work out of the box (fixed: add /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-7265-8.ucode[1]).

* top of windows disappear (fixed: turn off composition in Settings/Window Manager Tweaks).

* most "special" keys do not work, (volume and mute work)

* applications menu stopped responding. (still broken)

Otherwise it's fine. Good battery life, and very lightweight. I hardly ever use the applications menu, and I generally use my desktop for a browser and terminal windows, so it works well for me.

Not trying to be pedantic, I just want to know if recurse is now an accepted word. Any thoughts? Sources seem to vary, and I know as a young field CS forms new words fairly often still, but it is clear historically that the verb base of "recursion" is "recur". Has recurse become the accepted form for discussion relating to algorithms, though?
So, in a previous statement you said you code in Python & Lua and now you say that you code in CS/Dart which are more or less dialects of js.

You seem very agitated and disturbed for no apparent reason. We're discussing prog langs after all. Maybe you need to explore sports or politics to vent your anger as it's building up and you might explode anytime :L:

From our buddy Jeff:

The big security hole, as alluded to above, is that Firefox (and presumably Opera) allow access to the headers through XMLHttpObject. So you could make a trivial JavaScript call back to the local server, get the headers out of the string, and then post that back to an external domain. Not as easy as document.cookie, but hardly a feat of software engineering.

I don't like to use much of it, but I do find it useful to enlarge the target area of each item without the whole list taking up more screen space.
There's another obstacle besides IT: co-workers.

I once worked with a guy who used a 10 year old blurry "CRT" monitor. Repeatedly, I told to at least switch to LCD, but he wouldn't do it, citing that it would require a "business justification". If I were him, that monitor would have met with an unfortunate accident.

In such an environment, asking for a workstation that goes beyond "secretary grade" specs paints one as a gear-dandy.
This is a good overview. However, I think that the reason that we see a lot of service variations is because the core tech - namely - Envoy, contains all the "hard" tech (the data plane) while creating a "service mesh", basically comes down to creating a management layer on top of it.

Another intresting note is that Google did NOT recede control over Istio to CNCF.
Different economies, no?

It's not clear to me that Tiktok is, or wants to be, a general audience social network. In any case I really haven't seen it used to advertise or organize protests... And let's be honest it is by itself in no monopoly situation...

> I’m even more suspicious when the company is from a country with close government-business ties where the government has openly demonstrated it uses such apps to suppress political dissent.

I agree it's a reason for heightened suspicion but I feel like in this and a lot of stories around Tiktok, the suspicion is close to the only thing there is.

What I don't like about this argument that all platforms, even privately-owned, should be open to political or protest speech, is that the same argument can be used to criticize the moderation of hate speech, conspiracy theories, recruitment for fundamentalist religious terrorism networks, and other toxic social forces. In the US, the law prevents the government from getting involved, so we are dependent on private actors to moderate speech online.

Now if there's something in these policies about Tiktok censoring differently videos of HK protests or criticism of the Chinese communist party vs those of unrelated protests in the US, that would be different. It's not what I've seen though....
The one for me was breyer's ice cream. I was working stocking it at the time it happened. They used to show up as 5 packs of 500g cartons. One summer, during a sale, the prices stayed the same, but they started showing up in 4 packs of 450g cartons. I had to rearrange the whole shelf because they didn't fit the same way any more. So this really stuck in my mind. The cost was the same to the store too on the packing slips for a whole pallet. They just gave less and decreased the size of each carton.

I've told a related story from the same time period on here before about how they stopped putting handles on the large 4L ice cream buckets so they could save 1¢ per bucket. That was the same summer.

> There's a difference between attacking the Capitol and attacking a Pizza Hut

What's the difference? In both cases the stated goal of the protests was not to "break stuff" so if that ends up happening, is that the protest's fault?

> There's also a difference between a protestor throwing a firework at a courthouse and taking tactical gear and weapons with a couple hundred buddies into a legislature.

What about armed protestors forcibly ejecting police from a section of the city and setting up a police-free zone?

> This equivalence between BLM and the mobbing of the Capitol is confusing to be because it's so obviously a false one.

It's not equivalent, just similar. In both cases peaceful protesting of perceived injustice is the stated goal, and in both cases bad actors go renegade and break down rule-of-law.
> When you use words such as seditious and mob

The seditious mob injured 50 officers and killed one of them.

You should quit defending them. Stop with the "both-sidesisms". We can clearly point out which group is evil here.
The solution is probably something along the line of preventing unverified content to be published to millions of followers, but that would kill their business...
yes, because they didn't literally overrun the seat of power and threaten to topple the government. Seditious is spot on.

The last place I worked paid hard-earned money during a recession to migrate their properties off of CloudFlare because they were providing CDN services to the Proud Boys and the CEO had made some equivocal statement that they didn't think it was their responsibility to police content. It's an interesting topic and possibly a genuine slippery slope about what sort of responsibility service providers have over their customers use of their platform. It's one thing for dangerous content to be hosted, moderated and monetized on a platform like facebook. But what about just caching it blindly?
Let's say you think Bitcoin is going to crash (or you're a trader and just think it's going to go down). Obviously you want to sell your bitcoin, but also postulate that you don't have a connection to a real bank (KYC and all that), so you can't actually turn your Bitcoins into dollars. So you sell your Bitcoins for Tethers. Then Bitcoin goes down, and eventually you buy them back using Tethers.

> 'challenges the deeply entrenched idea that evolution progresses steadily forward'

My inner devil's advocate wants to say that the writer meant that that idea is deeply entrenched in the general public's view of evolution, but that is very difficult to argue given the tone of the rest of the article.

Back in my undergrad days (at a small state university), during one of the very first lectures in Biology, the professor really hammered the idea that evolution is not worse -> better or simple -> complex, but rather is governed by fitness, which constantly changes with the environment (so what's really awesome and complex might wind up being very maladaptive when circumstances change). She also made the point, through several counterexamples, that humans are not the pinnacle of evolution, which strangely seemed to offend some students.

At any rate, I kind of assumed that this was standard knowledge in the scientific community if it was being taught in freshman Bio at my modest school.

I have been thinking about this as well.

However, I believe that by the time your 2.i degree is considered 'below the minimum', your accrued job experience will have far surpassed your academic achievements. I would also expect HR to not take your university experience into account (or at the very most only minimally) at that point.
