Indeed, that's the first time I saw it. Quite unexpected given their past stance.

But I think some legal shifts helped there. Patent trolling cases which tried to attack VPx were repealed (like one from Nokia), so may be MS feels less threatened now (and new CEO helps as well I guess).

VPx also got some good theoretical legal backing like this: http://www.duanemorris.com/memo/VP8Compilation.pdf
Wow, this menu is so useful! I got annoyed when they removed the links to the different apps and just assumed this 9 dot thing was a part of their new account switcher design and never tried clicking on it.
Hopefully they can't. Maybe that way we can finally get rid of those pop-ups because there will be a very large amount of noise.

No, there is quite a lot of required material to even begin understanding quantum chromodynamics. I'm not sure you can understand it in anything but a silly way unless you're willing to do at least some complicated math. That's par for the course for a quantum field theory in a non-Abelian gauge. The problem is also compounded by the distinction between the residual strong force and the actual strong force.
Yep I have seen that page 5-6 years ago too :)
Seems like it would, but the people who bounce probably aren't your most profitable users anyway.

I was shocked to learn how effective interstitial popup subscription requests are:

Everything you said is true but missing the point.

$5000 is a wad of cash that many, many people don't have access to.

Living on savings while building and selling a product is not an option for many more.

Money just doesn't allow for acceleration but also pays for you to get in the car to begin with.

And that's not a precise statement either: having the ability to live while earning nothing build your business -- something that often takes some amount of cash, is what can mean the difference between success and failure.
Still exists for Gmail (on iOS at least).
Ugh, maybe this will finally push forums to burn those infernal Tapatalk interstitials. Forum owners: I'm looking for one piece of information from a web search, not a whole dumb app that will completely ignore my search goals.
Women also have to deal with those arrogant colleagues, and then we get to deal with the outright sexist ones and the ones who don't realize they are treating us differently because we're women.

When these things are brought up it's not to say only women have to deal with these things- we get to deal with all the regular bullshit and a little extra.

Like a an extra layer on a bullshit cake.
Compare this example of the ugly American traveler stereotype attitude: Look at those lazy otherpeople who can't be bothered to learn my language to communicate with a visitor like me under my very specific cultural standards they don't even have the civilization to learn about, and look at their dumb clothes, and their wrong beliefs are so stupid and out of date compared to my modern ones from back home, somebody outta clean this dump up wait till tumblr hears about this, why did I come here to visit as a tourist anyway.

No matter how its implemented or who implements it, its always ugly, and frankly not very polite.

I think everyone agrees no matter how uncouth and uncivilized a tourist acts, its not acceptable for the local thugs to intimidate the tourists, two wrongs never make a right. That has to be tempered with endless propaganda of "I visited Mexico, drank the water and got the runs, now everyone must feel sorry for me and join me in the two minutes hate for Mexico" isn't frankly an interesting story. No, I don't have to care.

Another excellent example is how do people respond when they go to the zoo and the elephant exhibit is overflowing with stinky poo? Whats most likely to result in the long run in non-smelly elephant exhibit? Compare and contrast with what feels better on the internet, whats a trendy and popular behavior to lash back?
I can't help but think this is a jab at Apple for allowing ad blockers in iOS 9.
I see. Looks like they were at least to be blocked, but the system either wasn't shipped or doesn't work reliably.

Annoying ads are only to be purchased through google, peon.

You cut them out, they cut you.
> this way, not even we can view the form submissions

That's not true. PF cannot view the submission /after it has been submitted, assuming your javascript does what you say it does/. Which means it protects people from someone knocking on your door asking for old data, but not from the FBI knocking on your door and asking to tap future submissions.

This is probably a reasonable tradeoff, but you have to be honest in this in your communication. "That is because your user's submissions are encrypted using your key (which we don't have) before being sent to our servers." is true, but it suggests this would always be the case -- also in the future -- and you simply cannot guarantee that.

It seems like everyone wants resumes in Word format. The one time I tried to send a PDF the recruiter nearly treated it like it was some unknown format and asked me to resend as Word.
In and of itself I really like this move, but I have to wonder if it's good thing in the long run to allow Google to assert its vision of good UX on the entire web. Where's the line? Of course nobody is forcing websites to do anything, but Google is such an important traffic driver it's hard to imagine a site not having to comply to survive.
I liked that one too, but could just leave them a statue with only the legs remaining and a poem :-) Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair! indeed.

IdealSpot Inc, Austin, TX, ONSITE

IdealSpot is looking for a front-end engineer!

IdealSpot brings the power of machine learning to retail site selection. Basically, we work with the massive amount of location-based data sources out there to help businesses find the best place to open a new location.

We're a young startup (less than a year old), but now that we have seed funding, we're looking to scale up our business. We’re building out a large mapping tool to help our customers visualize and interact with our data, and we need a hotshot front-end dev to help. Since we're so early in our development, there's a lot of room to help us work out the architecture, and make a big impact in how our business works.

We would love to find a developer who has at least some experience with UI and UX design. We find that understanding the user experience and flow is very helpful to being able to code the interaction in a way that makes sense to the user. Pixel-level design skills are also very helpful. That said, we expect you to be able to do the following:

* Code in Javascript on one of the popular frameworks (AngularJS, ReactJS, Vue.js)

* Build interactive UIs utilizing real-time data from internal and external REST APIs

* Interact with the Google Maps API

* Build responsive templates in HTML5 and CSS3 (knowledge of Sass is a big plus)

* Work with a team within a shared Git repo - i.e., you should know how to merge your code and not screw everything up

Send us an email at work@idealspot.com if you're interested. Feel free to include any past work you can show us, such as a GitHub profile.
Unless the cataclysm was a side effect of the consumption of the easily-accessible fossil fuels. If humanity had to restart its technological progression today with most easily-accessible fossil fuels already used up, it might find it much more difficult to progress past about where we were in the nineteenth century. http://aeon.co/magazine/technology/could-we-reboot-civilisat...
Thanks very much for that.

For what it's worth, I've found the Qubes team to be combative and defensive at times. I especially recall not managing to get straight answers about their VPN and Tor networking modules. But then, both were contributions from users, so their apparently dismissive attitude wasn't totally outrageous.
Docker Containers and APIs: A Brief Overview – Nordic APIs
I'm going to say basic germ theory. Suddenly, you can safely go about in the world as opposed to constantly getting sick via the simple act of washing up. Didn't washing up before delivering babies greatly lower infant mortality? Boiling water/treating sewage make everyone healthier? Not to mention, the benefits of washing out wounds to avoid infection.

As a free bonus, this stuff automatically gives you an idea of microbes which should lead to lenses, microscope, telescopes, and, ideally, another scientific enlightenment.
Given all the app security failures, I tend to avoid apps.

Being nagged to install another black box has, for me, nothing to do with a "better experience."

This is relevant: http://lesswrong.com/lw/h5/archimedess_chronophone/

>Imagine that Archimedes invented a temporal telephone ("chronophone" for short) which lets him talk to you, here in the 21st century...

> If you say something that is considered obvious in your home culture, it comes out of the chronophone as something that is considered obvious in Archimedes's culture...

>if you say "The Earth circles the Sun" it comes out of the chronophone as "The Sun circles the Earth". It doesn't matter that our civilization is right and their civilization is wrong - the chronophone takes no notice of facts, only beliefs and cognitive strategies. You tried to transmit your own belief about heavenly mechanics, so it comes out as Archimedes's belief about heavenly mechanics.

TANSTAAFL

P.S. Ok, I see now that the context is science and reconstructing civilization.

Perhaps the acronym is a bit less pertinent, then. Perhaps not. Even in scientific and technical fields, I see too much attitude and salesmanship that disregards it, to the detriment of those who blindly buy in to the pitch.

TANSTAAFL -- even if you're very bright.
I hope so!
"Within seconds of coming into contact with the atmosphere, it goes from a liquid to a solid,"

In a vacuum it just leaks out into space. Of course I suppose if atmosphere from inside the space craft was leaking past it then it would react.
Twice the median for "the city" overall? Including waitresses, garbage men, bank tellers, etc?

If a skilled surgeon (or someone 5+ years into their career at Goldman, etc) makes 4 times the median of your city, what does the median have to do with what they're worth?

Sorry, not trying to be rude, but whenever I hear people saying they "can't find anyone", they still counter that they're offering enough...and yet they still can't fill the position. It doesn't make any sense.
No one said these app download guys are awesome. My point was that these newsletter guys deserve much more criticism. A lot of them are pretty famous bloggers, and they know they're being an asshole but do it. The thing is no one criticizes them because they don't want to offend an influential person. It's sad because I used to have respect for many of them.
That's an interesting (and accurate) point. An interested user could verify the source of the embedded page, and ensure that it doesn't change.

This also doesn't protect the sender from a keylogger installed on their machine. Private Forms is just one additional layer of security.

I also intend to add a warrant canary, but I felt like that wasn't needed pre-launch. This is definitely a high-priority item though, now that I have launched.
I suggested this two years ago! I'm glad it's happening. I do agree that a permission dialog might be appropriate.

Variation/Learning/Challenges are what I need in a job. Open source, and modern (cutting-edge) technology is what I desire.

>then what really is being automated, or optimized, other than recordkeeping?

Other than record keeping? Why does it need to go beyond that? You don't want transparency in your laws? You don't want the ability to format and translate them as needed? You don't want the ability to do queries and comparisons? You don't want machines to be able to update their own behavior when the law changes?

I'm not talking about automating anything other than record keeping.
Or they'd just move directly to electrics. Some early cars were electric. The range and power wasn't impressive, but it worked. Wind power becomes pretty obvious at that point as well. Tie a fan to a generator, and voila, free-ish energy.

With no oil, people will just deal with the limitations of low wattage electrics until they get better battery and generation tech. Arguably, you could have a 19th century type society with a nuclear reactor; both uranium and graphite can be mined with simple tools.
The size of the files here are big enough that bandwidth is more important than latency. And by default it will only happen when the phone is plugged in and connected to wifi.

Our server software is typically deployed as close to the source data as possible. This lets us move only deduplicated data over the WAN. It also supports our encryption model where we encrypt using a pluggable key management service e.g. Amazon KMS or a on-premise HSM before any data leaves the customer site. This is essentially the same model as traditional tape and disk backup software within the datacentre.

Additionally we use HTTPS between clients and our server, and our server and the storage provider (e.g. S3), as well as being able to enable server-side encryption for S3.

Atlanta, GA [ONSITE]

SalesWise - Looking for passionate engineers in Atlanta

Space: Sales is the singularly most important function of any Company. The sales process is undergoing fundamental changes because prospects/buyers have immediate online access to all aspects of a Company’s products, positioning, reputation, and in many cases pricing. Many new products and platforms have been created to help sales organizations with these changes but sales reps and sales managers lack a compelling, easy to use, interface to organize, visualize, and share data about their prospects and sales performance.

Solution: We are building a Relationship Intelligence platform that automatically interfaces and integrates with all backend sales systems and tools (CRM, Email, Calendar, Social, etc). Our initial product radically simplifies how sales reps organize and interact with the prospect/buyers It’s an elegantly-designed product adapted to let them efficiently sell to their prospects without the headaches of CRM entry or spreadsheets.

We’re an Atlanta startup looking for passionate hackers that love building hard products. We’re a small, growing team of 6 with the founders being a wildly successful serial entrepreneur that can’t stop and a passionate ex-Googler that lives on the forefront of tech.

You:

- Love the full stack or love the deep focus on a layer of the stack. It’s OK if you don’t have chops in every technology that we’re using, but you should genuinely be eager about learning. Here’s what comprises our stack: Meteor, Javascript, Sass, Go (aka Golang), Kafka, Kubernetes, Mongo. (We appreciate both generalists and frontend or backend specialists.)

- Look forward to building and owning huge parts of the product. You’ll be among the early technical hires and there are a lot of exciting pieces to work on, let’s chat and we can find the right fit for you.

- Love to get going -- have the mentality of a hacker and the quality of a pro.

- Yearn for the high rewards of an early stage startup. Lucky for you, not so much risk as we have a solid comp plan lined up for you.

- Want to influence and grow the culture of a young company. The way we see it: We’re building something of immense value, let’s have fun doing it.

- Live in Atlanta, or can make the move.

- Are full-time or potentially looking for an internship. If you’re a rockstar, we don’t care what your deal is, let’s get you on board!

Sound like you? Get in touch: jason@saleswise.com.
My favorite is when I click a link in an e-mail newsletter (I'm on one for a local news site) and... get a popup asking me to sign up for the newsletter.
If you can afford it road-map wise, starting with the easy details and postponing the hard stuff works sometime. When the easy things are done, the hard things sometime become less hard, and the project got itself more rewarding so it's easier to see it in a good light.
This isn't going to be good for mobile networks that can't keep up with the usage now.
The EU law doesn't specify the mechanism used to inform the user. If you look around at different websites, several mechanisms are used, some more obnoxious than others. Popups are the worst user experience of the lot.
It's probably even worse than that: we probably actively dislike what we don't know.

First, it's an excuse to not know; I don't know this, not because I'm lazy and didn't make the effort to check it out, but because, you see, it's bad, or beyond me.

And second, it's hard to dislike something you actually got to know, because knowing requires some sort of empathy.

You can list all the problems with something you know, and say why it's not as good as it could be, etc., but if you declare that you "hate" it whole, it's a sign you don't know much about it.
