Rule 3 could be dangerous, though. It makes sense when you're in crisis mode, but when you're not focusing exclusively on things that could jump up and bite you tomorrow can lead to strategic tunnel vision -- missing opportunities for big wins because you were too busy chasing small ones.

Not really an issue for them since healthcare.gov sort of became the dictionary definition of "crisis mode," but worth keeping in mind if you're on a project with a more normal trajectory.

I never even knew there was supposed to be an annoying ad covering things up.
Still not disabled! Although at this point we're so habituated to PRs as a team that in practice it never happens. We did finally disable force pushes to master, though. Don't miss those one bit.

Thanks for this answer. My understanding is that GFC QE created money to buy back gilts, substituting cash for other assets on bank balance sheets. The element of choice here is what seems to make it a species of MMT - the creation of money can be used for any purpose. I’m not arguing the point here - just trying to work it out. To my utter frustration, and like so many things, the concept MMT has been politicized, and it’s the usual suspects shouting at each other and creating so much noise, it’s difficult to discern and evaluate the signal.
Yeah that is quite unfortunate. This is why economic prosperity for most humans strikes me as a very worthy goal; if this person had opportunities to do something “legit” and make ends meet, they would likely have done that.

Just how exactly do you archive that content anyway? Anything you "buy" on those platforms is not something you own. It's something you're licensing for short term use. Doesn't sound like a great outlet for culture to me. It sounds like a death trap.
It's only supported with some carriers, such as sprint and t-mobile.

For a more modern chip, use TL071/TL081 general-purpose JFET opamp, costs $0.55-$0.61 in DIP.
Being able to switch between apps, windows, and tabs is different from just windows and tabs. I prefer the former because the hierarchy allows you to find arbitrary things with fewer keypresses overall (as opposed to mashing alt-tab through a long flat list).
I've heard stories of people quitting Big Tech and going into early retirement in their early 40s. It's totally feasible with the total compensation you've been receiving and if you live below your means. It could be an extremely liberating feeling not having to deal with any work at all. Now go travel around the world or pick up new hobbies or do side gigs for fun.

I'm aware this isn't a risk free approach, but then you can say the same thing about most any approach.

Is there something specific you think I should be concerned with?
It seems they have some ML stuff in there for specific features, e.g. sky / land light balance and hot pixel removal (probably similar to how denoising for MC path tracing works).

Aside: randomly recognised Ryan Geiss in the credits, he did the Milkdrop plugin for Winamp back in the day, and also some cool tech demos for Nvidia...
If this scales up beyond software projects, and it may already have done so - both with direct efforts and with self-censorship - the organization itself could actually begin to suffer at large.

That's the goal, yes.

Ahh, the OSF, which is George Soros.

And what about it? The OSF throws out tons of grants. I've never applied for one or worked with an organization that received such financing, but this seems no different to me from a conservative organization getting a donation from some wealthy financier like Robert Mercer or whatever foundation the Kochs run. Most of the anti-immigration 'think tanks' like FAIR, CIS and so on are part of a dense cross-financing networking that's supported by the estate of Elizabeth Scaife, a scion of a Pennsylvania banking family.

Config files are not typically world-readable; the httpd reads them before dropping permissions. Otherwise, a vulnerability in the httpd would allow access to everything in the config (remote server passwords, signing keys, etc).

There's no reason why compromising the database would allow attackers into the web server, unless you've configured SSH to allow signing in from arbitrary remote systems.
No, I'm not trying to argue that at all. That case is entirely the rapist's fault.

The difference I am trying to make is people have trusted (maybe wrongly) Gawker to protect their information. Gawker failed to do so.
And with GPUs rainbow tables are gone - it's now quicker to calculate an MD5 than read it from disk!
But you're talking about defending against brute force attacks? Salting's strength is in defending against rainbow tables. It seems the best policy at this point is to use both as they defend against different things and are not mutually exclusive.
I made the purchase from a Mac, but plan to play on a Windows PC... Wonder if that skews things?
Discussion of Gamergate has been taken down in some form from every major communications platform other than (to my limited knowledge) 8chan and twitter. Facebook, Reddit, YouTube and 4chan have all removed content related to GamerGate
As an infrequent Windows user, I also don't bother with the start menu anymore...

My goto is the prominent search (even in the Windows 7 start menu). The only time I like the menu us when I can't remember the specific name of an app and I need to look at the list of names or icons to trigger my memory (which is rare). Otherwise search is so much superior than hunting around with a mouse trying to remember whether a certain app is sorted by name or company or finding where a setting is hidden. It used to bother me when control panel settings moved, but with search honestly who cares?

It's not like we use yahoo's directory or dmoz anymore to browse the web...
Wow, they added background images to Windows Phone.
hmm, this can not be complete, I have read about places in the middle sea that are heavily toxic but can not find them here. Is there any collaborative review and research process connected to the data represented by this map? If not, it should be created!
An advantage of buying new vs used is that you make the vehicle completely fungible. Used cars are each relatively unique, and if you find one that is the "perfect" combination of model year, condition, options, color, etc, the salesperson has a considerable psychological advantage over you. With new cars, you can contact 10 dealerships within driving range and play them off each other until you get the best price.
Let me play devil's advocate.

Let's say you are bill gates. You own assets worth of 50 billion dollars. Assuming there is no capital gain or loss and that your return on investment is 5%, you should be making 2.5 billion USD annually. Half of that would normally need to be paid as income tax to government. That's around 1 billion dollars every year.

So what you do? You get the best financial advisors and they'll tell you... "move your assets into your own private foundation". this way you won't need to pay tax on your income although to retain tax exempt status, you will need to give away every year at least 5% of your assets. so you will end up paying your "taxes" anyway but it will make you look awesome because now you are doing charity instead of just paying federal income tax like the rest of us.

And this is exactly what bill gates has been doing all these years. His foundation is worth 35 billion dollars and he is giving away exactly 5% every year. Up until now they gave away 24 billion dollars (around 1.5 billion a year).

I think it makes sense to avoid paying income tax and decide to spend your money elsewhere at your discretion.

so let's not pretend these billionaires are better than rest of us.
Windows 10 Russia Edition soon?
That too :-)
Know what your level of experience commands, both in the market, and at your company. If you ask for peanuts then many companies will happily oblige. LinkedIn actually offers a salary tool, where it will list the going wage for a particular position, either in the market, or at your specific company. They crowdsource the information, so there's not a guarantee they have your company. I'd ask for the higher end of the spectrum, as they
likely won't see you as out of the park, and be willing to counter, assuming they don't accept right off the bat.
I always politely declined when asked for my phone number and address and it was never an issue.. They aren't going to want to lose a sale over it.

> It bears consideration that the N5 is not carried by Verison [CDMA].

The Nexus 5 does actually have a CDMA radio and works well on Sprint and its MVNOs. The problem is that Verizon won't list it as an approved device in their database, which means it won't provision for them. From what I understand, it's a control issue, not a technical issue; they can't get carrier exclusivity with an unlocked Nexus phone so they don't want it on their network. In short, the problem is Verizon, not the radio in the phone.
Hindsight is always 20/20, isn't it? I like those surprises so, theybare fun to read and show just how much stuff is still out there to be discovered in front of our noses.
You have a caricature of unions in your mind that does not match reality.

If you excel, you are given the options for up negotiating your pay. You are given the option to negotiate your bonuses, supplementary pay, time off and what not.

If you're a "rockstar", congratulations! Your union has raised the bottom from which you can up negotiate your compensation. Your union will also advocate for things you, as a rockstar super employee, never will be able to. Like your benefits, working conditions and base pay.

If the engineers want to raise base pay, they're in an engineering union. They have no one to convince, but have the clout to make it happen.

If the engineers at firm X want a raise, they can negotiate with their employer for compensation with the added bonus of a higher base pay to negotiate from. They also have the added benefit of having the union advocate on their behalf if they choose.

You haven't worked with a good union. Good unions are known for their quality and skilled professionals, just like good companies are for their products.

Nope, .co.us was (and is) intended for Colorado. There never has been a second-level domain under .us specifically for commercial organizations.
Would you respect intellectual property on the wheel or the hand axe in a stone age setting ?

In such a setting there was no notion of "property" at all beyond brute force. Eventually it was discovered that greater things can be accomplished when people adopt the polite fiction that taking something doesn't always make it yours.
There was a large discussion earlier about the subject. I posted detailed comments in that thread so I won't repost but just link. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1143317
Every day, another event occurs that reminds me of Daniel Suarez's books Daemon and Freedom(tm).

This is one of them.

Every currency is based on the credibility of the underlying guarantor, whether it's the value of precious metals, the full faith and credit of a government, or the long-term viability of an organization.

The underlying guarantor here is the belief that an open, distributed system like bitcoins will grow and thrive. Given the nature of distributed systems, the main risks to its survival are lack of interest by participants, a security flaw in the bitcoin system, or the complete collapse of the internet as we currently know it.

The latter isn't likely to happen - even if the US became like China in trying to regulate activity (not likely), it will just open up elsewhere. Short of the kind of global social catastrophe that would invalidate every other currency as well, it's not a realistic risk.

Lack of interest and security flaws are the only real risks. They're significant enough that I wouldn't invest money I couldn't afford, or base a business model around bitcoins - but acceptable enough that I will definitely spend some disposable income on bitcoins.
> The ones I can think off the top of my head are being able to break large problems down to their component processes, being able to foresee the effects manipulating those processes can have, and being able to effectively communicate with others (both technical and non-technical) about your work.

I have an education in CS, but I haven't actively developed software myself for quite a while. However, I've found that this particular point is very true. I find myself working with people, quite smart people, from very different educational backgrounds quite often. The ability to break a problem down the way that C.S. teaches is something that seems like magic to them. In at least two cases, I've been able to make some nice consulting fees simply walking people through this process which seems completely obvious to me.

On a higher level, I wonder how many regular old life problems, like deciding which car to purchase, or allocating employee resources, ones that seen absurdly obvious to people with a similar education/training background, completely stymie folks who haven't had this education. Experience with some of my friends who seem to habitually make absolutely terrible life decisions and one my few advisory consulting gigs tells me it's actually a bigger problem than most people thing.
1. Even if you think they're in the wrong, and you think their inaction is comparable in harm with the action of their superiors, calling them names is still useless/distracting ad hominem. (I suspect they aren't in the wrong, and I'm certain they don't bear nearly as much responsibility.)

2. On what basis do you see them agreeing with the 'party line'?

3. I don't know you, perhaps you are really serious about giving up your job when you see something wrong. That would be awesome, and I salute you as a better man than me. But on what basis do you make this claim for others? When I look around I see no evidence of any 'us' sacrificing for strangers, for the larger good.

4. I don't feel comfortable asking others en masse to make difficult decisions I've never had to make myself. A lot of these people make far less than you and me and are just struggling to get by, to provide for dependents. How entitled can you get to ask them to give up their jobs in this environment? What have you done to help yourself on this issue, that you demand they sacrifice a livelihood to help total strangers?

5. I think if you look around you'll find something wrong with your company worth leaving. Any company that isn't carbon neutral is doing far more harm than just seeing a few people naked. And no companies are carbon neutral today. So quit. I'll wait. Back? Next, you cause more damage everytime you burn oil in your automotive, or by throwing a light switch. What are you going to do about that?

I think the issue here is that programmers, and MBA's for that matter, tend to be convergent-thinkers, whereas designers tend to be divergent-thinkers. Relying on a convergent thought process to solve a problem isn't the most effective way to tackle an issue and therefore involving designers in this process produces far more effective results.
Aside from monopolies (government-granted or otherwise) what is an example of wealth that is simply "extracting rent"?
My question is this: What about Amazon and other affiliate links? And why do I see the spectre of IRS declaring free services as some kind of "in-kind" taxable thing, liable to a "use tax" or somesuch? I think this can all snowball pretty quickly given how hard up budgets are on all levels of government.
I moved to the US last year and work a regular full-time job. I haven't had to file taxes before, since I only started work in May. I'm about to launch my first 'weekend project' to potentially involve some advertising and Amazon-affiliate revenue. I'm not really clear on what I should be doing and what is necessary with regards to tax, registering as a business, etc.

Can anybody recommend any good resources for information to help me avoid situations like this chap has got himself into?
Yes, taking a serious look at clojure is worth it, the language is awesome, the libraries are maturing and growing in numbers, and the community is awesome. But i wouldn't bet against common lisp either, im currently learning it, and im amazed, clojure programmers can only gain by learning it.
Thank you for pointing out StaticGen. Now I can find the product built with technologies I know so that I can get stuff done quickly instead of learning the tools of the most popular product on that list.
They already do - Instart Logic is one of the reverse proxies dedicated to serving ads first-party.

For tracking and invasive device tracking (WebGL, plugin enumeration, Canvas, audiocontext, WebRTC, WebSocket-based portscanning of your LAN CIDR acquired from WebRTC, ...) there's Shape and Distil that both do inline reverse proxying.
And you also must keep your political opinions private. If you intend to make your political opinions public via pamphlets, opinion editorials, posters, books, protests, etc. you're advertising your political opinions and the government can regulate your advertisement.
I really love the idea with the map/location. Keep at it. :-)
If you have a good local independent computer technician available -- not Geek Squad -- they can usually navigate AT&T for you and get the issue resolved quickly.

We do this on a regular basis and don't have any trouble with AT&T. Yesterday I got to chat with the fellow doing front-line technical support about the 12 feet of snow they had gotten recently while he resolved the couple of system issues that AT&T were having on my client's line.

There are some key phrases that can make things go a lot smoother, and technicians that deal with AT&T (or Comcast, or whoever) on a regular basis know what they are.
Usually black-and-white print use bold to indicate the keywords.
I think the Corn Flakes example (http://static.dezeen.com/uploads/2010/12/dzn_Minimalist-Effe...) is a good example of how this approach of minimalism for grocery type consumer products does a lot of damage.

Yes, across the board we still know what the product is but the feelings and the senses of the brand are gone. The Corn Flakes doesn't look like a yummy breakfast anymore. It might as well be the cover of a super hero mag. As already mentioned, the product is no longer unique. It might as well be the store brand.

This isn't effective brand minimalism (in my naive opinion).
It's packaging minimalism (minimizing printing costs).
I recently started a small team on something I wanted to develop just by asking people in IRC. It's working very well. :-)

I'm pretty sure Wall St. people also talk in terms of valuation.
Yes it was. The guy wanted to encode the videos using Youtube's _unknown_ encoding process. Encoding using ffmpeg with its default settings isn't the same. (We can now extrapolate Youtube's encoding logic rather than make blind assumptions, which would be the case if the latter were done instead.)

Pumped hydro has nowhere near the capacity necessary to consider it a complete solution to long-term energy storage[1].

Tesla has shown that batteries can be viable in some cases (e.g., passenger vehicles), but that is but a tiny fraction of the cases where the versatility, mobility, and energy density of fossil fuels are used. Virtually all other long-haul transport (passenger flight and cargo hauling for example) uses them exclusively for starters.

Nothing about transitioning away from fossil fuels is "simple", and it's likely to involve a patchwork of partial solutions[2].
