Assuming filetype:docx is even worse?
Ah, UpCounsel, nice to see you on Hacker News!

I got ripped off on UpCounsel. It was my fault for selecting a poor lawyer who raised his rates three times after his initial offer. If you use them, watch out for these types. They'll come in low planning on sucking out more later.

I asked for a detailed list of potential concerns in a contract, and instead got caffeinated scatter-brained call 2 days later. During it, he stopped and said "You're writing this down, right?" Oh geez, I forgot I was supposed to take notes when I pay somebody to take notes for me.

So I took advantage of the fact that UpCounsel calls itself a platform and left him a poor review. I read it a few times that night and was satisfied with it -- that ought to protect others I said to myself and called it a night.

The next morning I had an email waiting for me from the lawyer. He told me he was "disappointed in me" and wanted to talk some more. Yet I was confused what he could be disappointed about; was I obliged to give him a good review (and 3 stars isn't even that bad!)? Some hours later, I noticed the review had been removed and I reached out to UpCounsel asking them what happened.

One of the top guys, Steve, told me my review was "automatically" (a day later, after a laywer complains -- yes, I'm sure it was that 10:32AM cron job) deleted due to profanity. There was one mention of "shit". I went back and forth with the guy, but he ultimately told me "If you want to write a more professional review, go ahead". My review was really not that unprofessional; it merely dictated what I just said above with a slight hint of anger (well I did just waste $600 and this IS a review).

In my experience, they protect their lawyers first -- users second. It didn't matter that this guy essentially ripped me off; he was more concerned about not letting him receive a poor rating and had things to say to me like, "Why didn't you come to me first?" (before I wrote the review). It's like I said, protect the laywers first (go to customer support and complain so you don't leave bad review), users second (delete review if you actually do).
Oh, and I have it redirecting to a "thank you" page on complete that doesn;t really exist, so you will get a 404. The "thank you" page is configurable.
And flubbing that migration means that people lose their houses.

The Danger team did built a great system for its time and by the time Microsoft took over, it went downhill fast.

Microsoft managed one of the biggest cloud computing screw ups in history to date: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2009_Sidekick_data_loss

The incident caused a public loss of confidence in the concept of cloud computing, which had been plagued by a series of outages and data losses in 2009. It also was problematic for Microsoft, which at the time was trying to convince corporate clients to use its cloud computing services, such as Azure and My Phone.

I've heard good things about Oracle's RAC, but it's understandably intolerant of your screwing up its disks (SAN mis/re-configuring) when you aren't properly maintaining backups. I also heard the consultants you have to hire after you manage such a feat are expensive.

Is any one else extremely annoyed by Google's Android privacy bullying?
Ever time I turn on the GPS tracking Google asks if I would like to let them have my location to enhance the location precision. I say no. Fine. I cannot disable the dialog for whatever reason. I then try to turn location tracking off from the desktop widget and it doesn't work for whatever reason. I have to get into the settings menu to do that.

I want to search something, Google Keyboard keeps track of every word I make. Sometimes I press the wrong thing and suddenly my own smartphone is recording me and sending the data over to Google.

I take some photos and Google prompts me to save them to Drive. No I don't want them uploaded to your servers. I have Google apps pre-installed and for some reason I cannot remove them. I disable them and Google Play updates them and re-enables them.

Are normal people really OK with all of this?

You don't have to be somebody important to find this extremely invasive. In two years I might be working in a lab developing solar panel tech. Do I really want to have this Android device trying to record my every movement?

It's Android 4.4.4 if anyone's wondering with an almost stock OEM install.

I'm going to put CyanogenMod on it when I have time but it really annoys me that the market is in such a state that most people don't give a crap about all this invasive tracking.

I mean, lawyers use this stuff. They are aware not to use Gmail when sensitive information needs to be communicated but are they aware of just how much data their phone collects about them?

Not in the slightest. Hacker spaces are an extension of just about every enthusiasts club ever, and if anything startup culture is a product of THOSE. Nobody sat down and said "you know, these startups are pretty cool, I should start a casual place to work on such a thing." Most hackerspace projects aren't even for profit, they're just things to learn on or group projects to socialize and expand the craft.

Remember that Wozniak tinkered with hardware for fun and his day job at HP. Such things were possible then, but before that there was always clubs for engineers and creatives of all kinds. We often ignore history when we create these kinds of articles, because writing things in the context of history is hard and doesn't get as many clicks if you don't put more effort into it. I find this phenomenon deeply interesting, as we'd do much better as a species if we learned historical contexts for a lot of things we think are new and powerful ideas.

tl;dr: No, startup culture is a niche extension of hackerspaces. Not the other way around.

There is no protection for unattended devices lol. That's a huge cat and mouse game. It's why I used to use little embedded boxes like ARTIGO's which were easy to stash along with tamper-evidence tricks. If there was tampering, can't be trusted any more. The few times turned out to be a roommate bumbling around for some ridiculous reason.

There are many physical transports to use. My original hack was IDE in a non-DMA mode to get past serial's speed limits. Then I/O offloading onto dedicated, cheap computers to pre-process the data and force it into correct spot. Next step was synthesis of the same onto cheap, I/O-focused FPGA's or microcontrollers before I had to put a pause on those developments.

The guard [1] is the strongest part. It used simple hardware(s), a security-focused microkernel, carefully written drivers, optional middleware for internal flow control, and separate partitions for each logical function. Anything incoming is fully scrutinized before moving on. Certain protections, such as encryption, might be applied automatically. The modular, layered, often FSM-using implementation of each thing allows the highest amounts of analysis and verification w/ many errors provably absent. You can also gradually add advanced security technology as it comes online such as SecureCore, Cambrige's CHERI processor, DIFT, Softbound + CETS, etc.

So, the concept is physical separation into different domains. The computers use what they need to use. The Internet-facing ones typically did use LiveCD's and BIOS's I could protect to a degree (eg oldest boxes had jumpers). If it wasn't LiveCD, it was regularly restored from clean backups. Virtualization, hardening, and mandatory controls used as appropriate but I assume it will be toast. Simpler formats like text, HTML 3.2, BMP, and so on for easy analysis by guard. If complex stuff is allowed, it goes over a data diode so any malware isn't leaking things back.

For a similar approach at network/host level, see Boeing's OASIS Architecture [3] that builds on their high-assurance Embedded Firewall (PCI card), SNS Server (highest rating/field-use ever), and a bunch of custom components/strategies. Post-police-state, I'm basically just swapping out Linux distro's as I can't afford to build my old setups any more. My current R&D is on tools such as crash-safe.org, CHERI (w/ CHERIBSD), and the cryptographic methods that all protect system confidentiality and integrity from hardware up. Been working on verified ASIC development flow to implement them with that being done up to RTL level. Current explorations are High-level Synthesis, Analog Synthesis, and my medium-high-assurance RAD methods for software. Post most of my results on Schneier.com, etc instead of my own blog for impact with some companies copying it without credit that we've seen. I can email you those if I haven't.

The trick for me is always just getting started. Once I actually get over the hump and start working, I generally find it's pretty easy to keep going. It's getting started without sidetracking myself that really puts up the biggest resistance.

That may not work for an author who's lacking inspiration, but in my case I found that when I sat down at the keyboard to work on my book, if I couldn't think of what to write I'd just start writing utter crap for a while until it started to flow a little better, then I was usually off to the races.

Hi. I am going to travel to Europe where a "niche celebrity" lives. I'd love to interview that person - I manage one of the most important blogs about her works, so I'd be great (and a dream, to be honest).
However, all my attempts to get an interview have failed. I thought that, instead on propose a simple interview, reach them with a good plan to do a documentary, with a folder proposal, etc. But I am not sure.

Have anyone here experience something similar? Any suggestions? I'd prefer not to fail this time since I don't know when I am going back to that place :)

I disagree further--I don't think that startup culture (especially the pseudo Ponzi stuff we see nowadays) has anything to do with hackerspaces.

"Startup culture" is purely an invention of "How do I build a business with no resources"? Hackerspaces are the continuation of HAM radio clubs and electronics clubs and engineers bullshitting at bars and people letting folks goof around with their broken television sets and kids goofing around on BBS.

None of that has anything to do with startups--to say otherwise is pretty much just astroturfing.
