Well, you wouldn't want to release anything into the public domain and I don't believe any sane developer ever has.

D. Richard Hipp and everyone who has ever contributed to SQLite are insane, in your opinion?

The public domain isn't a terrible choice when thinking about how and if to license your software, and is arguably the only incontestably ethical choice.
The article also alludes to "open source developers" - this could be interpreted such that they're bringing on developers who already work on specific OSS projects to do specific integration/debugging/optimisation work. But who knows, the whole thing is pretty damn vague.
I think there are a few edge cases where you can disclose your salary, like if you're on the high end because you've been at a company for a long time, and don't expect to get that much elsewhere, you can tell them, and also tell them you're flexible.

However, if you're looking to move up, don't tell anyone. Let them give you a number, and you can then choose to negotiate. If you're getting 110 now and want to move to 120, but they offer 80, obviously this isn't a good fit, even if they could be convinced to go higher.

When a recruiter calls you, demand two things before spending time on an interview (even a phone one). Salary expecations, and details about the team, like the manager's name, or the specific product, or something. This will weed out the recruiters who just scan public job listings, and let you deal with the ones who are actually doing their job and playing matchmaker. It will save you a ton of time and stress.
"The bead is driven as a mini-rotor, with a information-to-energy conversion efficiency of 28%."

What exactly are the units of information in this case? The statement doesn't make much sense as I think the OP just took the quote out of context.

A simpler way to visualize what's going on: imagine your trained dog picks up a ball and tosses it up in your hands and you catch it. Now the ball is 1.5 meters higher off the ground than it was before. E = m * g * h = 1 kg (it's a heavy ball, all right?) * 9.8 m/s^2 * 1.5 m = 14.7 J. That's 14.7 J you got for free. But the dog expanded more energy than that to pick up the ball, overcome gravity and air resistance and toss it up. The total system (= you + ball + dog) lost energy and increased entropy.

Email is not universally reliable enough for that to be practical.

If you leave browsers logged in, it might be a little more so, but still, I want to log in now. Not in a half an hour after the email works its way through my company's spam filters.
As I told an old co-worker with a new 5 series BMW when he asked the same question: differentiator, every douche bag in LA has a BMW.
Well, it was Charles I, it was done with an Axe, and then there was a complicated tooing and froing for a long while until about 1918 when universal suffrage finally came in.

Exactly like Freedom Fries. With less starch.

No reason not to use the same tactics the government uses. Patriot Act? Ha. This frames any attempts to thwart the security by the government as anti-freedom. The "liberty mail" recommendation in here was good too :D

Germany/Netherlands - REMOTE - Apply at http://nlcollect-bv.workable.com/jobs/7652

ClubCollect has created a service for sports clubs and other organizations to make invoicing of club members a breeze. Invoicing, reminding, online payments: everything is processed via ClubCollect. Since we're entering the German market we're looking for a developer who is proficient in German (speaking & writing). Reason: ability to discuss API interfaces with German developers of external accounting systems and perfecting the localization of ClubCollect.

We're a small team (just eight people), we love remote working but we also like to get together for beers and a great dinner.

ClubCollect is built in Ruby (+ Ruby on Rails) and JavaScript (+ jQuery). We value simplicity, creative solutions, and the ability to get things done. You will have the opportunity to contribute to all areas of our code base.

- B.S. in Computer Science or equivalent experience (proven ability matters more to us than degrees)
- Fluent in at least one dynamically-typed, object-oriented language (e.g. Ruby, Python)
- Several years experience with a modern web framework such as Rails or Django

@recruiters: please don't contact us, we're not interested.
I wonder about the wisdom that hardware is cheap and programmers are expensive. "One source said that Snapchat has an over $30 million-per-year burn rate, and pays half of that to Google Apps Engine to host all its photos, though this number seems low to us."

Congratulations!

Your enthusiasm is actually charming. I'm sure it has put smile on many faces. It brings this nostalgic feeling of how many actually started. Have a blast in your career!
When using the "exec" command it doesn't do that. It just executes one job, not the whole pipeline.
Yeah, that's a good point.

I didn't mean it as a criticism of cosmopolitan per se; more that depending on stock toolchains can add friction because they may be susceptible to breakage by random shenanigans by brew or xcode or who knows what else, whereas defaulting to curl -L [...] | tar -xz [...] into a hermetic space is generally less susceptible to yak shaving. (The Make setup in the cosmo repo is quite nice, btw)

Zig compile times are definitely slower than Go's, for example (in release mode, anyways), but I guess that's LLVM for ya. Fast cross-platform binaries w/ fast compile times would be the holy grail for me.

Looking forward to see where cosmo goes
My understanding is that they're registered as a charitable organization, not a non-profit. These terms are often used interchangeably, but from a tax and earnings perspective they mean different things. This is often further confused with not-for-profit organizations, which is yet another thing.
This is the most absurdly ludicrous thing I have ever read, and I am not exaggerating for effect. I honestly cannot tell if this is a bad joke or sarcasm, because I can hardly imagine a human being who could believe such nonsense. If you experience any of this nonsense first hand it is because you believe it to be true and have created a self fulfilling prophecy. You need to change your perspective. Go see a therapist and work out your issues.

I suggest reading some Gabor Mate and work on resolving unresolved childhood trauma (the only thing I imagine to be strong enough to create such self-limiting beliefs - assuming of course your post is not just a failed attempt as sarcasm).
I am not even white and I find this sort (slide content) of claims purely racist. Based on my experience if you normalize this for one group they are going to go after other groups soon.

Workplace inclusion is not about being less or more of anything but just making sure we are able to embraces diversity and work in a away where everyone is productive and satisfied.

I wonder how open they are (they do say open to hobbyists). I'd really like to whip up a RaspberryPi box with buttons for things I actually reorder (instead of depending on particular brand partnerships).
It's important to read the study's goals... But I agree. If we really want to understand how well the studies are being conducted there should be a random sampling of studies from different behavioral affects.
As far as facial recognition on Kinect, I don't mind it as the keeper to my gaming system, but simply having my face unlock my bank account suffers the same problem as a finger print. Your face is on so many cameras every single day. A password should be kept private. Additionally, I'm a bald man with glasses, how many others with this description would be able to open my Xbox with their face? It is useful in combination with a password, but should not (and I would argue cannot) replace a password system of some kind.
I use Netlify for my websites, they're excellent.
You could actually enforce the laws and put people in safe jails with better living conditions than they have now, outside the city limits.
It seems like being more and more lenient is not a solution to a problem getting worse and worse.
Please don't do this here.

The Mac is great and all, but I've used a 1984 Mac and I don't think I want to adhere to a guideline centered around running a single fullscreen application at a time.
I also find the attempt at equating trigger warnings and avoidance coping pretty disingenuous, given that 'avoidance coping' as a concept includes both positive behaviors (meditating, reasonable exercise) and negative behaviors (binge eating, drug use).
Even though this is an exception to Betteridge's law, it seems that tome's law still applies!

This is disruptive technology at work http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disruptive_technology
Apple's iPad at first looks like a toy that only competes with low-end $600 Dell or HP, but it will acquire a high resolution screen, camera, faster CPU, better software and become easier to use than a real mac and more flexible.

There was time when Mac and PCs were thought of as junk to most scientists because they'd have a high end Sun or SGI workstation costing 5-10x as much that was a lot more powerful. However that market is gone now and realistically the top end computer is now a Mac Pro. What happened was cheap PCs acquired over time all the features of the Sun and SGI workstations.

Apple doesn't want to do this, but the high end Macs aren't going to last forever as a market (and it's already small) and if they don't do it, someone else will (probably Google).
The other day I was wondering if Apple had so much of cash.. why do they not announce App developing competitions.. and that too very aggresively. For example if they announce a yearly $500 Million prize (aggregate), they will get so many cool apps for people and a lot of them can be free. The increased devices sales can alone cover for the prize value. What am I missing here?
You might want to have a special ship for graphics processing, if you are doing lots of it.

I would really like to see Chris Ashworth interviewed on Mixergy. I think he's got a great story on niche marketing, problem solving, and pushing things forward.

What would happen if a startup was seed funded by 30 people at 1K each? It could be very interesting. The company would only have 30K of investment, but on the flip side there would already be 30 people who want to see it succeed. 30 evangelists ready to pump whatever the company can produce. Nobody really knows how well a model like this would work, because it's not yet legal.
Stallman's worldview is so paranoid and cynical. And maybe it's for good reason. Facebook and Apple have been doing evil things. But Facebook and Apple have paid dearly for their behavior, whether they've felt the repercussions yet or not. Their value on the Global Hacker Reputation Index has plummeted, and they will have to pay the piper sooner or later.

Question of the day: Is reputation among hackers enough to keep tech companies honest? I think for the smart companies the answer is Yes.
As a former 'professional' (sadly I laughed while typing that) gamer, I can attest that most of the competition out there is very much out of shape. Not necessarily overweight, but reliant on junk food and stuck in a chair. World of Warcraft and MMO players are the worst. Generally FPS players tend to have some idea of fitness.

There are the occasional exceptions. For example Sean Fanning (former Napster creator) competed at WoW and moved onto Jujitsu. I do Muay Thai and Jujitsu as well, and have some friends that still compete and work out regularly. Fatal1ty, the 'famous' gamer played tennis every day to keep his muscles sharp.

Sadly, despite my twitch finger/eye reflexes on a controller, I'm a sitting duck when anyone throws a punch at me :( Those reaction times don't really translate to physical reactions.
It's also a handy way to get a window that got moved off screen easily, which can happen in setups with multiple monitors that get connected and disconnected.

Also, most applications will actually honor Ctrl+C/V as well as the Ctrl+Insert/Shift+Insert shortcuts, from the 1987 IBM CUA guidelines[0].

I'll buy that, thanks.
But you still need individual print drivers.
Mystic is probably a misleading word to use, because Wittgenstein is considered to be something of a mystic himself, especially when it came to things like aesthetics and ethics. The philosophical/religious definition of mysticism is a bit different than the everyday one.

Tort law is going to catch up to software soon enough and people will be held accountable for negligently creating or deploying software that they should have known would cause harm.

The fact that someone else down the chain should have known better is not a perfect defense. If that misuse was foreseeable and you didn’t do enough to prevent or discourage it, then you can still be held liable.

Thanks! What tier of the Enterprise Edition can't you justify the price tag of? Gold/Ultimate? Are you on Silver/Premium now?
Also thrilled with ReadyNAS NV+ for all the same reasons, but especially to support Macs, TimeMachine, and remove WebDAV access.
Why?

1. to put ads on the giant armada site and collectively make a little money?

2. to make sure your blog posts are read by people of like-minds?

It seems that Hacker News is already taking care of #2, so is the only reason #1?

I'd be glad to cross-post to the giant armada when they seem of interest to other hackers/entrepreneurs. But I'll still be posting everything on my own site.

This is what I do at MusicThinkTank - maybe a similar idea. Example: http://www.musicthinktank.com/blog/after-15-years-of-practic...

There my music-focused posts get another audience that isn't checking my own personal site.

But then, if there was a Hacker News type site for “music think tank” type people, there wouldn't be a need for musicthinktank.com.

So is it just for the money?
Get your degree! - In the US, no masters degree means no job period. Unless of course you can demonstrate your capability with top level involvement in an impressive open source project, and massive presence in the social networking sphere etc, then your hopes of coming here and diving into a cool organization are unlikely.

The competition is tough, Not to mention the immigration laws.. The US is not making foreign visa holders very welcome right now.. Unemployment is very high!

Besides the american dream is getting old, and from a startups perspective can be a somewhat overrated experience, unless your aiming to get fat, acquire diabetes, high blood pressure etc with very expensive medical cover.

Besides your young, drink beer, write cool open source software, contribute to a linux distro, learn robotics and electronics, go to conferences and perhaps meet people who can be mentors and colleagues. Learn to write, and do public speaking! Hell the world is your oyster, the US is not the only place with great beaches - try Cape Town, South Africa, after the world cup. With your skills you can be a world citizen!

And btw - exercise like your life depended on it!
Java (at least swing) apps behave oddly, by which I mean they show up as grey boxes. According to the xmonad faq, the problem is that Java uses a hardcoded list of wm's (rather than properly responding to wm events) which does not contain xmonad.

Even with the suggested fix, Java still has some focus issues.
Great advice in this article. I've added a recurring reminder to my iPhone to connect with key players and receive mentorship from company leaders.
Beautiful article explaining the downsides of cloud infrastructure but as a sysadmin I'd never dare to think of replacing that sales lady's M$ Office suite with LibreOffice.
You just look up the regulations in your area, Federal Forest and Wildlife Management land have uniform rules as far as I can tell. Then you explore. I just spent a few weekends off riding and cruising the mountains this summer, visiting places and taking notes of good camp sites. That’s part of the fun. You can find sporadic information online, but generally I think people keep their favorite spots to themselves? Great reason to bang around, bring food. I set up the back of my truck to sleep in. Poor mans Tepui tent.
So, you do have a problem with people speaking other languages, but don't have a problem with people having different religions, despite both causing the same issue you're worried about?

Not getting it. Starting to lean towards the "fig leaf" theory.
It's formatted as a code block, saying don't wrap these lines. But that's not a good idea when it's a long piece of English text.

Is the platform supposed to run some ML algorithm on every code block to decide if it's actually code, and override the explicit don't wrap these lines syntax if it decides it's not actually code?
Another source of driver data sold by California and numerous other states is smog-test results. These are sold specifically to insurance industry processors for "policy adjustment", usually increasing rates for high-mileage drivers, often labourers and the poor who must travel to multiple job sites or commute long distances between affordable housing and living-wage jobs.

The California data -- in "BAR-90" or "BAR-97" formats, included 100s, possibly several thousand, individual fields. The datasets were based on test standards and equipment, those are documented here: https://www.bar.ca.gov/pdf/BAR-97_Specification_July_2017.pd...

Key elements are the owner's name, VIN, vehicle make, model, year, and colour, and the odometer reading (of interest to insurers).

Fred Brooks would like a word...

More seriously, this is the important part:

> like-minded individuals who understand and agree on the core design goals,

A team who agrees on the big picture, but can work together to sort out the small details, is really important.

There's also balances between doing things quickly and doing things right. Sometimes, slowing down a bit gets you a significantly better end product. Sometimes it's just a slowdown.

Actual title: Twitter removes hundreds of accounts it says are linked to Iran, Russia, Armenia

Full sentence: "Twitter said 100 accounts with Russian ties were removed for amplifying narratives that undermined faith in NATO and targeted the United States and the European Union."

The way I'd think about it is "would that business put any time into a partnership with Apple/Amazon if the chance came up". I guess you could argue that any business above a certain size would consider them worth talking to for some kind of cross-promotional deal even if that doesn't make a lot of sense on the face of it - Caterpillar? Hilton? But I think small focused companies outside of Apple/Amazon's core field wouldn't want to spend time on something like that. So B2B, non-tech, smallish companies - which by their very nature I can't name a lot of, but there's a lot of them out there.

I hear you. I tried recreating the CPI for India and couldn't get the data needed. (see https://arun.tanksali.com/topic/rpi/). I eventually thought I can come with a Personal Price Index which reflects how inflation is when seen from my personal perspective. I took a basket of goods derived from our household consumption and scraped prices for a year (till last month). See (2) for data. Obviously, CPI represents the average citizen and no individual is likely to fit that definition well. I am no economics expert but I expected some correlation between the published CPI and my own observations but there were times they were moving in opposite directions.

> Crypto AG had their cryptographer employees continually find security flaws only to have upper management tell them to work on something else

I would be very interested if you could share accounts of this happening.

From the declassified documents I have studied the Crypto AG "backdoor" consisted of misleading customers that less complex models (with smaller keys) would be suitable for their communications, working with the NSA to word end user documentation in a way that makes it unclear how important specific settings are, and providing technical designs to the NSA for review.

At no point do I believe there was a security flaw that an employee would have found that would have compromised the operation, since it was simply a series of steps that weakened the strength of the encryption from "mathematically impossible" to "requires a purpose built supercomputer." This route provided plausible deniability to everyone involved (remember that other cryptographers also evaluated Crypto AG products and would work to secretly exploit any flaws they found "for the bad guys").

Interestingly before the CIA/BND deal, the French attempted to secretly buy the company and do the exact same thing.
where did he draw any conclusion?? It seem like you're the one who jump to conclusion here.

Maybe I'm missing something, but if an attacker can update the firmware without Apple's RSA key, then Apple (or you self) should be able to flash it in the same way the attacker did (even though the official update procedure is blocked) and "fix it", or?
This helps? http://mashable.com/2011/05/31/https-web-security/
Most of the comments so far focus on the fact that WhatsApp is a closed-source system. And just to be clear, it would absolutely be better to have source code. Source code gives you a 1000-foot view of the application and lets you spot obvious problems quickly.

But source code can also lie to you. To really understand what the application is doing, you need to do what security auditors do irrespective of source code availability. Namely:

1. Disassemble the application binary.

2. Debug the running application.

3. Observe the network traffic.

Here's another thing to think about. Suppose the source code were available. How could you trust that the source code provided matches the compiled binary running on your phone? You would need to perform the above steps to verify.
