Pixlee is revolutionizing the relationship between people and brands. We help companies leverage customer photos/videos from social media to improve marketing.

We work with over 100+ customers, including top brands such as Converse, Kenneth Cole, UGG Australia, Mattel, Charlotte Russe, Marriott Hotels, and AMC Theatres, to drive higher online conversion, increase performance of owned media, and create a more authentic brand experience. A graduate of the Stanford StartX accelerator, Pixlee is an Andreessen Horowitz and XSeed Capital portfolio company. As a rapidly growing startup, we are constantly looking for talented people to join the Pixlee team and to help us revolutionize the intersection of big data and social media.
At Pixlee we work hard, love to learn, and value teamwork and humility. We’ve got a big vision and we’re looking for game changers to join our team.

We look for talented, high-potential individuals who aren’t jerks. Our proposition to them is simple: Pixlee offers a unique opportunity to thrive and grow rapidly in a small-team startup environment operating at big-company scale. Our customers are some of the largest brands in the world and everything you do here affects millions of consumers.

I'm not entirely skeptical of how ethical their exploitation will be conducted, I'm just raising the point that we're a country with heavily affected (ex-)forests. Moreover, there's a rich recent history of external interests being facilitated by our ultra-corrupt government, to rather devastating effects.
You won't go far wrong following the rules from George Orwell's Politics and the English language:

1.) Never use a metaphor, simile, or other figure of speech which you are used to seeing in print.

2.) Never use a long word where a short one will do.

3.) If it is possible to cut a word out, always cut it out.

4.) Never use the passive where you can use the active.

5.) Never use a foreign phrase, a scientific word, or a jargon word if you can think of an everyday English equivalent.

6.) Break any of these rules sooner than say anything outright barbarous.

The illusory Universe (2009)
I dunno, there is a real kind of liberation you can have if you are on some diet that is all planned out. I did a week's fast and was amazed at how much free time I had now that I wasn't eating or shopping for food or preparing food or cleaning the plates, thinking about what I was going to eat or travelling to or waiting for food at restaurants.

Of course you can do it more wholesomely and cheaper than Soylent if you follow the bean plan of Tim Ferris.
Behavior like this is why my Galaxy S4 was my first and last Samsung phone. They had a pre-installed "Beaming Service" that couldn't be disabled that would randomly show notification ads for unrelated software... at 3am waking me up on a work night. "Oh but Samsung has gotten so much better now"... Yeah, not going down that route again. I don't understand how a company like HTC or Samsung would think something like this was OK and not permanently lose them a paying customer.
What would "forcing" look like? Typically forcing someone to do something requires power - political, financial, or other.

When engineers have something that managers or investors desperately want (e.g. Zuckerberg et al), then engineers have power. When engineers are interchangeable code-monkeys, then managers and investors have power. Of course, engineers could band together in a labor union to increase their power, but managers and investors don't like that very much, and that generates a cat-herding problem.
And just to clarify why that matters, shot is lots of small pellets, and small objects experience much more deceleration due to aerodynamic drag, and have a much lower terminal velocity.
> Unless the drone was over 500 ft and met all the regs for an aircraft and was being operated by someone with all the appropriate licenses, this was most certainly NOT an aircraft.

No, it is an aircraft in any case. It may be an improperly-operated aircraft, which would open the operator up to sanction, but I'm pretty sure that you aren't allowed to shoot down improperly-operated aircraft over your property, including in the altitude range in which the airspace is within the scope of your legal property rights.

Is that a good excuse to maintain a pseudo-science complete with "professional organizations" and "journals" and other publications? It pollutes a space that should be for the pursuit of truth.
Because "defend yourself" means that you threaten or use force when there's a threat against you. In this particular instance, the shooter used force first, and only afterwards was there a threat against him.
That "parallel" track also only exists at tech companies. For non-tech companies that have in-house software development, there is only the opaque ceiling above "senior developer". The only way past it is to jump over to the management ladder.
I was thinking about the same sentence you highlighted, and I think you're right.

The problem is that it's often bundled with a similar but patently false and demonic idea---that the business and technical sides can be siloed without ill effect. They can't.

Someday someone will write a best-selling business book about how it's valuable for management to have technical expertise, and it'll have some catchy term like the "mangineer" or something.
1,000,000 / 1,000 = $1,000. Hardly golden. Still, I take your point, with a million eyeballs you don't have to monetize much to make a pretty penny.

I felt the same way about poker. I can see the mechanics of poker a lot easier than I can see them with chess. But if I'm going to spend the time, effort, and money to become very proficient at poker, then why don't I spend a similar amount of time, effort, and money on starting a software company? That revelation was the beginning of end of me regularly playing games of any kind.

I still occasionally play video games, but I treat it more like watching a movie on Netflix. I usually only play through once on the medium setting, whereas in my early 20s I was very much a completionist, even for games I didn't much care for.

To me this is impressive. I've used a ton of SVG's in the past and I'm always left at 90% of what I'd ideally want to accomplish. (I'm looking at you Android 4 and below...)

I think it's funny people bashing this preaching SVG etc. From a SASS or Single page website I think this approach would be fairly nominal. Just as an experiment use an SVG vs CSS on iOS emulator and watch the memory usage - you'll see what I mean.

I didn't see any "evil" insertions, though...
But not overtly so. It seems ill-intentioned to some of us today, but consider the people who were in favour of it:

"We are not mistreating them! We are treating them equally. We are keeping the races separate because [whatever reason], but nobody is being mistreated. We are being well-intentioned and everyone can still have equality."

The people who believed and supported separate-but-equal were genuinely thinking they were well-intentioned. They thought it was a good and necessary thing.
The paperwork done when buying a firearm from an FFL is not a registration. The government is not provided the serial number as a part of a sale, in fact they don't even find out wether or not you purchased the firearm. Similarly, if you get a rejection during the NICS background check the dealer doesn't find out why, just that you are not eligible to purchase. Both parties are kept blind to information that they shouldn't be privy to.

Unless you live in a state that requires registration of firearms, the government doesn't just find out who owns one. That isn't to say there isn't some legal mechanism by which the government can get that info from the shop that sold it. If you truly want an anonymous firearm, buying one in a face-to-face transaction is the closest your typical person will reasonably get, and that still requires you to show some form of ID (a drivers license or a carry permit, typically) to the seller. At least that's how it works in South Carolina.
How can I make money with my Adult Entertainment website?

How would one go about learning these things? I have no illusions that I will be coming up with new exploits, but I am curious about the tools that are used to find them. How do you write code that winds up on a Thunderbolt device? How do you read from -- let alone write to -- EFI?
Then empower yourself by learning how the business/market works, or if that sounds stupid and boring, leave for someplace where it wouldn't be.

I'm not the OP, but the point I think is that as long as you are content to be a "code monkey" (no disrespect meant at all, but that's what it sounds like) that just does what they're told for 40-50 hours per week, you can't expect to have any upward career growth.
13 UX Principles from an IT and DevOps Perspective
Yeah, but (and I'm surprised people have to keep repeating this) it's not about whether this stuff is already out there. It's the fact that soylent packages it all up nice and neatly and then ships it to your door on a consistent basis. There is no real work/research/shopping involved. You are paying someone to do that for you, and you simply drink.
What about poker, then?

Years ago Belkin sold a router that would randomly replace web page requests with ads. I still won't buy so much as a cable from them - and I didn't have one of those routers either; bad publicity lingers. Now I'll add Samsung to the list.

I don't know if you use Google Chrome, but Adobe Flash Player in sandboxed in Chrome as a Native Client module.

All interaction between a Native Client module, the host process, and the host the operating system must be mediated via the PPAPI (Pepper API). Native Client has a set of rules which are enforced via the validator to ensure that untrusted code (that is Adobe Flash itself) cannot jump, load or store outside to addresses outside the sandbox. More information on how Native Client does this can be found in the links below.

Note: you should be familiar with the x86 and x86-64 instruction set for it to make much sense.

Nevertheless, here is some more information:

The goal of an open source project should not be to fix social disadvantages but to produce the best possible product.

Why? Lots of open source projects have social goals; for example, there's the Debian Social Contract, the Mozilla Manifesto, and Ubuntu is itself named after an humanitarian philosophy. These goals often override technical quality: Debian will rather ship a more buggy and incomplete FOSS software than one which doesn't comply with the Social Contract.
With an attack like that, you know the inbound IPs targeting you are already vulnerable, so know what you can do? You can turn them back on themselves to attack the attack.

> randomly show notification ads for unrelated software... at 3am waking me up on a work night.

Sort of unrelated, but this reminded me of a time way back when. Back when AOL Instant Messenger was still widely used. I was awoken by a buzzing sound. I had 5.1 surround sound speakers at the time on my PC and this buzzing was going all over my room.

Being 2-4AM on a school night, I'm tiredly trying to figure out what in the world is making this noise.

Took me a bit, but I powered up my CRT monitor to find a "swat the fly with this flyswatter and win!" advertisement inside of AIM.

It was from that point on that I made a conscious effort to eradicate all advertisements from any applications I use.
That is true, but that is only a small part of the usefulness of ngrok. It can tunnel TCP port, assigning you a random high-numbered port at their end (like with ssh -R).

But if you are tunneling an HTTP service, you can be assigned a random hostname (random.ngrok.com), or you can request a specific hostname (pkaeding-test.ngrok.com), and your service will be available over both HTTP (port 80) and HTTPS (port 443) on that hostname. This can be critical for testing webhook callbacks where the remote service only allows HTTPS on port 443.

Also, when you are tunneling HTTP services (using HTTP or HTTPS), ngrok will start a web UI running at localhost:3030, detailing all incoming requests. You can examine the headers and body from both request and response, and even replay requests. This is immensely helpful when debugging webhooks.

(I am not affiliated with ngrok, except as a happy user.)
Bill Gates Foiled by Georgia’s Powerful Vidalia Onion Regulators
If you bring your toy onto my shooting range and I shoot it, that's your problem not mine. Since it's not alive there should be zero question of lethality or violence.

Yes, I know that within most municipalities you cannot shoot guns, but if you are in a rural setting outside of the city limits, you most certainly can shoot as long as you take proper safety measures. Shooting a shotgun into the air is not a danger to anyone. By the time it comes down it'll have the ballistic properties of a handful of BBs thrown into the air.
Ask HN: Best libraries for converting JavaScript comments to both docs and tests?
Basically, I'd like to automate docs and tests as much as possible from comments like this (or something similar):

/**
* Adds `b` to `a`.
*
* @param a {Number}
* @param b {Number}
* @return {Number}
* @api public
*/
function add (a, b) {
return a + b;
}

Obviously there are libraries that can do what I'm asking, but I'm having trouble finding the best one(s), so I figured I'd just ask here. :)
Hello,

I have several candidates in your area that I feel would be a great addition to your team. So I don’t send you the kitchen sink, I was curious if you may have 5 minutes to discuss the salary cap on any job openings you have and their intangible skill set?

Who are we? CyberCoders is a pay for performance recruiting firm with a network of nearly 13 million candidates that locates permanent full-time employees for many of the nation's top companies.

Best part? We work for you on a contingency basis; we only earn our fee if you hire one of our candidates. Once hired, we stand behind our candidates. If, for any reason, the candidate does not work out in the first three months, we will make a replacement at no additional charge.

This doesn't seem to work very well for non-business-critical software.
Oh, I think that is a rather naive perspective .. I would even render it as glib and banal. People do of course get a rise, some sort of charge, out of ridiculing people - and this article in particular resonates because - like all good degradation - it contains enough measure of truth that the nerve is well and truly hit. It is easy to degrade Soylent, because it, in itself, is a form of degradation.

Soylent, for those who buy it as a product - i.e. people who put on the consumer hat, and seriously consider their lives improved for the act of purchasing something - could be considered one of the most ribald samples of our modern displaced culture.

We are all, after all, consumers. What better substance to provide to us all, as consumers, than something that attempts to satisfy the most primitive of needs while delivering a direct profit to its creators? If you've ever consumed the stuff: it is not great. There is very little pleasure to it. The only real value is the "feeling" of having consumed something extraordinarily elite.

I think, the only reason to hate Soylent, is that it hasn't been wrapped up and presented to the world in the same aggressive, hyper-consumerist fashion that, say, our local Apple store used to grant you the privilege of Macbook Pro'ing your way through this article.

Soylent is a kind of packet-of-ill-repute in the same way that a 4Chan or a Call of Duty packet, being sent across the ocean depths through a mostly useless pipeline, is a waste of bandwidth.

Such a product can't really persist in a world where you actually have respect for other human beings. Relentless mocking is how we get most mental ills in the first place.
If anyone has resources or is willing to share his knowledge of OS X System Daemons and Agents - spotting and unloading the unnecessary ones is the main aspect of my dotfiles[1], but resources are often elusive, outdated or plain inaccurate guesswork, the whole process usually takes a lot of reading binary metadata and sometimes plain trial & error (and consequent occassional frustration).

But then I managed to saved around 2 GB of Ram just by unloading Daemons.
