How do I link to the file without it being public in the first place? I'd want it to not be publicly accessible, but only accessible through the purchase.

If the link is just hidden that doesn't really solve the security risk of someone downloading the file from the public dropbox url or wherever else.

Perhaps they store the file on their server and you can unlink the file from your own server? I doubt that is the case though.
I can't comment on immigration law. But as for accepting payments without a bank account, Bitcoin is probably your best option.
What are you talking about? Taken to its logical conclusion you would have sites support passwords up to a million characters or else it is a sign that they are insecure. Having some limit is perfectly sane.

I also find it a bit "armchair quarterbacky" to be calling out PayPal on security practices. They've been around the block a few times, and though I certainly don't love them, they aren't making rookie mistakes like not-hashing passwords or the like.

You are just spreading FUD for no discernable reason. 20 characters while not the epitome of greatness, isn't a sign of the end times.

Installing and setting up all of those tools takes time and effort, and there usually aren't great step-by-step guides for "Here's all the tools you need and how to set them up to work together".

Compare this to just logging into a website.
I think it was meant as supportive argument to "popularity contest". So that statement is probably sarcastic in nature.
SkyCircuits Ltd | http://www.skycircuits.com/ | Salisbury, UK [ONSITE]

We specialise in manned and unmanned aircraft operations and technology. Our business is rapidly expanding in one of the most exciting and technically challenging areas of aerospace: that of unmanned aviation. As well as our core business iterating on (probably?) Europe's best selling commercial UAV autopilot, we also take on a wide variety of interesting r&d projects. The vast majority of our business involves civil drones and we do not sell autopilots into the military market.

Things here can be fast-paced but always interesting and everyone's opinions are valued.

We're looking to fill the following roles: - GUI Developer (C#, F#, some Python would be a plus) - Embedded Systems Programmer (C, Python)

I ran into this problem with MySQL. We have a table of user submissions that is millions of rows but the amount of time it was taking to migrate the test server was unacceptable downtime in production.

In addition, if two VMs have the same urandom state, that means they must have the same random state. So now you are hoping that somehow those states diverge? But given that they started the same, I'd be wary of making that assumption. There's no guarantee that whatever "entropy" unblocks random on one machine won't be identical to the second machine.

Cringle - https://cringle.net - Berlin, Germany - ONSITE

Senior Full Stack Software Developer

It all started with winning a game of soccer, a couple of beers and the hassle of getting money back. We think that neither the pain of repaying friends in cash nor the complicated process of online banking are suitable for the 21st century. That’s why we built Cringle to enable people to send money to any mobile phone number, without the need for bank account details (IBAN?) or virtual wallets. The money goes straight between bank accounts.

Everything we achieved until today was only possible, because of the great team that works on our product. Now we are looking to expand our team!

We are looking for someone who will work with us on the Cringle backend, extending our APIs and general functionality; write tests for the things we do; help us build a robust and scalable infrastructure in the Cloud; help out in the frontend and Android or iOS client development.

You should have experience with Ruby on Rails or Go development, Test-driven development and Client-server communication.

For the full job description see: http://cringle.net/jobs/fullstack-developer

MUBI :: San Francisco, CA :: Software Engineer

MUBI is hiring software engineers to start growing our San Francisco team. We are a VoD company with a focus on bringing the best films to our customers around the globe. What sets us apart is true editorial credibility in the film world, and a strategy building social traction with a cinephile audience before putting Studio content deals in place. That time has now come. We are at an inflection point where we will massively scale the subscriber base. If you have been looking around the Valley and concerned that valuations are out of control and investors are chasing too many flimsy business models, then you should take a look at what we're doing.

The product is a streaming service and social network currently available on the web, iOS, Android, Amazon Fire TV, PlayStation, Samsung Smart TVs, and several more on the way. It is build primarily of Ruby, Rails, Backbone + Marionette, and the usual client-side frameworks. We are heavily invested in Chef for configuration management, both at Engine Yard where we host our main applications, and also for newer infrastructure such as our custom-built CDN that we are tuning to deliver a better QoS than off-the-shelf vendors can provide.

The position is for the second engineer to be sitting next to me (Co-Founder & CTO) and our Head of Product in our San Francisco offices. Although we were founded in Palo Alto, currently the CEO and bulk of our team is based in London due to the UK being our primary growth market. We are now looking to move the product and engineering center of gravity to San Francisco in a run up to make the US a primary market in 2016 and beyond. You would be #10 software engineer overall, and will play a strong role in defining the architecture of our application. Strong ruby and rails skills are ideal, though this can be substituted by strong web and backend development skills in similar languages and architectures. VoD and client-side video app development are a bonus but not required. You will have significant opportunity to define your own position and work on any area of our technology where you can add value.

If you are interested please contact me by email, which can be found on my MUBI profile at https://mubi.com/users/2
I'm wondering the same. All I can get from the marketing copy are the following:

* "It’s slimmer and sleeker with a bigger, sharper display"

* "Now the Nest Thermostat does something new. It’s called Farsight and it lights up to show you the temperature you’ve set or the time. You can even choose a digital or analog clock face."

You like trying out emerging technologies and fail fast when they don’t work out.
You will like working with our technology stack if…

You have used JavaScript testing frameworks such as Karma, Mocha or Jasmine, Sinon, and Chai.

You like using build tools such as Gulp or Grunt.
You have used SASS (alternatively LESS) for CSS pre-processing.

One thing these debates ignore is the role of talent in making one enjoy the activity. I think talent helps one achieve early success and so enjoy it more and want to practice more. In fact I wonder if what we think of as talent might be a few characteristics, one of which is love of the activity.

This fits with my understanding of what's happening here. The SO discussion is a bit unclear as you go down the page, but the initial statement of problem up top clearly claims that you're questioned each time you awaken.

I think you're quite right to point out that being correct is the only fair heuristic for this question. Several of the defenses of a 'halfer' belief amount to "you ought to believe this so that your beliefs obey this type of decision theory". Actively believing something with a (reliably) worse payout to conform to a rule about belief seems like a terrible form of epistemology.

On a related note, are you familiar with Newcomb's Paradox and the LessWrong debates over it? They get to a similar idea of "correctness above all".
A technology can only succeed when the average programmer can use it without doing much errors, or can find quickly a solution using google.

I don't think that's true. A technology might only be able to become a mainstream product if the average programmer can use it, but there are a lot of niche products that most programmers will never use. That doesn't mean those technologies haven't succeeded.

If you only ever use things that are similar to the things you already know (e.g. things you can use without making errors) then you will only make very slow progress as a developer. You'll always be avoiding the things that are different to your existing skill set. Sometimes, if you want to use something radically different to what you already use, you have to put in the effort and learn something that is hard. You can't expect the technology to come to you.
