It seems to me like it's only going to get worse as more people get chip cards. The cafeteria at the office where I work replaced their card machine earlier this year with a model that accepts EMV cards and since we have a lot of employees that travel internationally a good chunk of the people that work here pay with an EMV card (myself included). The increased card processing time has resulted in a noticeable increase in the wait time at the register, commonly backing up the line by 1-3 people. I recently figured out the terminal also supports NFC payments so now I use my phone with Android Pay (since it only takes 1-2 seconds vs 10-15) but I'm the only one who uses it so far and I'm not sure anyone else knows.
Yes and no. If it's a single instance (even if repeated 15 times), then it could be a net win in complexity to just leave the 15 max there – they are more obvious. This is in contrast to writing and maintaining a macro that does a trivial function, just once.

From another angle they are more convenient:

Most of the USB keys are in a form factor that fits well on an existing key ring. If you are like most people, you presumably also already have a pile of keys connected to a key ring on you at all times.

You don't have to unlock your phone device and launch the appropriate app, you just need to plug into an open USB slot on the machine you are using.
OttoQ Inc | Cupertino, CA | Android Developer | Full-Time/Onsite

We are a fast moving company whose mission is to alleviate the anxieties that surround parking. Fundamentally, the act of parking has not changed much over the last 50 years, with our solution: you simply find, park and pay if required, using your smart-phone. Our solution demands perfection in multiple disciplines ranging from hardware, embedded software, a robust backend and delightful applications (which is where you come in).

You are energetic, hungry for responsibility and want to shake up a few parking spots. You are detail oriented and treat your git-repo like a temple. You may or may-not like coffee, but like being around people who do! Most importantly: you crave a fun and fast paced ride.

If interested email us at jobs@ottoq.com with some cool stuff that you have built or help create. We can also help you relocate if there is a mutual match!
This is a unfortunate turn of events. When I worked for Amazon we were a neutral vendor and would sell anything that is legal. There were a number of first amendment right fights as well.

But clearly that era has come to a close.
I don't think this move is in Amazon's best interests long term. Their competitive edge with Prime is that I go to them first because I assume they'll have what I want, at a fair price and the highest level of convenience.

If they are no longer the "Everything Store" then they won't be where I go to for everything...
To me, "embedded" would not rely on a remote backend.
sudo apt-get install inotify-tools

and a short shell script.
git upstream has rejected that for security reasons; git clone should not produce a repository that runs arbitrary code on the user's system.

However, it seems reasonable to have an explicit option to clone, such as --use-hooks, that allows repositories to enable their local hooks automatically.

Apart from that, you could have a server-side hook that prevents any push containing such files.
Amazon can absolutely do this (but I think it is a slippery slope, possibly a sign of some bad changes ahead at amazon. They really should be neutral about the products listed on their site) but the reason they gave is kinda ridiculous [1]. I have a hard time believing the enough people don't know the difference between Prime & Netflix to make this a legitimate reason to stop selling Chromecast and Apple TV

[1]: Over the last three years, Prime Video has become an important part of Prime," Amazon said in the e-mail. "It’s important that the streaming media players we sell interact well with Prime Video in order to avoid customer confusion.
I thought anti-competitive would be Amazon selling its fire tv stick at a loss for a period of time long enough to force competitors to drop out of the market. Surely what they want to sell in their store should only be up to them?
I have a Dell Latitude, with no stickers. Like I said, I'm boring.
Wow, okay... that just happened. Instead of wanting a 3D printer, I now want one of these 3D laser printers.

Need to see more reviews showing negative aspects. There's always negatives.

Edit: found a negative: shipping price. To Australia it's US$1380 for the model with air filter. That's crazy. Almost 2 grand Australian dollars for shipping.

"It’s important that the streaming media players we sell interact well with Prime Video in order to avoid customer confusion."

What a load of rubbish. They could make it work on those devices but they choose not to.

It's a ploy to get Prime users to buy Fire sticks and nothing more.

Odd way to say thanks to Google for providing open source Android OS to build out their platform.
How are you supporting 4 people with roughly 56k a year and own a house and 2 cars at the same time? Its not unbelievable if youve paid off those expenses over a long time and didnt have student loans. But even one bad car repair could be a couple percent of your total budget for the year. My student loans would be 8.5% of your 70k paycheck alone
Nothing really changed in terms of MacPorts liveliness; development continued as it always had, and Homebrew has gradually learned why MacPorts adopted the solutions it did -- usually the hard way.

Homebrew's popularity was built on incredibly negative (and often dishonest) marketing that painted MacPorts as old and busted.

For example, Homebrew touted the security advantages of not using sudo, as compared to MacPorts, ignoring the fact that:

1) MacPorts dropped privileges when performing port builds to an unprivileged user, providing generally higher security than running with the current user's full permissions.

2) MacPorts has always also supported non-root installations that didn't require sudo.

What are they thinking? Surely this must do more damage to seller goodwill than any supposed customer benefit?
It came to a close a long time ago. Amazon refuses to sell many legal products, eg caffeine powder and anything with the confederate flag.
I've used Eclipse with the RustDT plugin to debug a project successfully. There's probably ways to make it work in Sublime/Vim/et. al, I just haven't put in the effort to figure it all out yet.

How to succeed at Technical Books?
Plastics are probably the largest semi-direct user of hydrocarbons other than energy production, and according to the US Energy Information Administration [1] plastics used the equivalent of 2.7% of the total oil consumption in the US in 2010.

If we just stop burning the stuff we'll have enough for other uses for a very very long time.
FYI, You are lucky they credited you at all. If you left before the game shipped they do not have a legal obligation to credit you.
The new AppleTV has an App Store. Does this mean Amazon can't or won't create an app for Prime Video for the AppleTV? (Can't or won't, either answer would be telling.)
>> "First degree price discrimination would be an auction system."

There is in fact a limited, semi-open, semi-public admissions auction system at many elite schools, most famously Harvard [0-1] and Brown [2], though their peer institutions behave similarly in practice. The prices are probably an order of magnitude higher than the ones mentioned elsewhere in this thread, more on the scale of endowing large construction projects than what's been mentioned here.

Secret Service Agents Tried to Dig Up Dirt on Congressional Critic
It was a hypothetical example, not specific to spying.
The should use the competitor's pages as an opportunity to upsell prime-compatible devices. Show a "Prime Video" logo crossed out that you can click on that takes you to a page telling you why Prime is so much better than whatever you're trying to buy.

(I don't know if that gets into legal hot waters or not, but couldn't be worse than actually not selling competing devices.)

If someone wants to buy an Apple TV, chances are they're just going to go to apple.com to do it, and Amazon has lost the chance to turn that customer over.
Meant: We have NOT been able
I can't think of a single compelling reason to use this over Google Authenticator.
OTP based 2FA is susceptible to phishing and MITM attacks. U2F is phish-proof and makes MITM more difficult.

For computers you frequently use, you can get multiple keys and leave them in the port (Yubico makes a small one that stays in the port and only sticks out enough for you to be able to touch it, but it's a bit pricey).
And what if you add filesize checking?

Just do a request and hope that the server returns you a 304 Not-Modified.

This should prevent the issue, right?
> forcing the user to do it 'the rust way' with boxed types

This is mistaken, everything in Rust is unboxed and on the stack by default. You have to go out of your way to box something (with, appropriately, `Box::new` (or the forthcoming `box` operator)).

At Cyanna, we believe education should be accessible to everyone, and that if you’ve got knowledge to share, nothing should stand in your way. So we work with educational institutions to help them launch, run, and market their schools — and make sure they’re compliant with government regulations along the way.

One of the things we offer is customized software solutions that make it easy for institutions to track and teach students, and for regulatory agencies to track institutions. Right now, we’re looking for a full time Ruby on Rails Developer with PHP Experience to help build our next generation e-learning platform.

Join our team from wherever you are:
Everyone here works remotely, although we meet and collaborate online all the time. We also meet up in person occasionally throughout the year. You’ll be able to find the perfect balance of working independently and being part of a supportive team that’s got your back.

Here’s who we’re looking for:
- A life-long learner who’s always on top of new technologies, but still able to pick the right tools for the right job. Pragmatism is totally your thing.
- A seasoned developer with a couple of years experience working with Ruby, Ruby on Rails or a similar platform.
- A Github guru who believes Github pull request workflow is the only way to go. You love contributing to open source.
- An expert on Agile methodologies like Scrum and Kanban.
- An adventurer who’s unafraid of Ruby 2, Rails 3/4, Bundler, ES6, HTML5, Git, Test::Unit, Rspec, PostgreSQL, TDD, clean code, and refactoring.
- A trooper who writes tests and feels familiar with automated build tools like CircleCI or Travis.
- A natural communicator who speaks and writes English as easily as you speak and write code.
- An easy-going personality who’s also adept at working efficiently in a virtual, fast paced environment.

These are the skills we expect you to have:
Ruby, Rails, Python, Django, JavaScript, HTML, CSS (SASS), jQuery (Backbone.js or Ember.js a plus), SQL (PostgreSQL a plus), Git, API development, Browser compatibility issues, Deployment methodologies (e.g. Capistrano), Database/query optimization

Sound like you? Send us your resume, and get ready to show us your existing projects, demo your code, and sell us on why you love to do what you do.
Yubikey has a "always available" form factor if you're already bringing your laptop to work in the neo-n: http://www.amazon.com/Yubico-Y-110-YubiKey-NEO-n/dp/B00O8ST7.... It just lives in your USB port.

The user experience is also better with U2F than previous 2FA systems. When GitHub prompts you for U2F, you press the yubikey and are instantly logged in. No typing random numbers with n seconds, no fake keyboard.

YMMV of course, but if you've tried U2F, it feels incredibly slick.
a "true embed" would be something like Electron, that's running a node instance on the client, and can work independently without any interaction with a server.
