Look, that sounds like a tough situation financially, but this is not the norm among people on this forum (whom I'm addressing). Also, good news! If your wife manages to find a nice job after graduation, and if you keep your lifestyle the same, you can now put an entire salary into your savings account (or pay off loans, which is the same thing) every month. That's basically what me and my wife are doing.
You could depend on resources shipped from Earth which you won't get if you don't get off Russia's property, because the USA doesn't want to sour their diplomatic relations.
The trick there is that most things are systems, rather than point variables. Just like you can't push down just one place in a bowl of water, you can't expect that the system will not respond to the change in variables. Whether it is Peak Oil, Kessler Syndrome, Global Warming, or Free Markets. People use extrapolation to scare others into some action, rarely are the predictions correct because other parts of the system have adapted.
I still don't see how it's a problem either way. The browser should check that the hash matches before storing it into the cache so evil.com/evil.js has not the right hash so it's not stored. If they can craft a sha256 collision then, we have other problems anyway and sha256 should be deprecated. If the hashes are the same, then the files are the same.

We're a unified logistics intelligence platform -- we track every boat on the water, every plane in the sky, and are working on tracking every truck on the ground (+ a bunch of other indirectly related data sets) so that we can know everything that's going on in the logistics world.

Turns out there're lots of inefficiencies in the supply chain! One of our customers spends $400mm/year shipping empty containers, another spends $80mm/year on late fees. Lots to optimize!

> Not everyone currently running for president is doing so because they believe they actually have a chance of becoming president.

A lot of people seem to miss this key detail.

These people have advisors, analysts, and so on. They know that their chance of winning is extremely slim. However they don't care because the entire point may be:

- VP slot.

- Increase public image in general (for future runs for house seats, book deals, TV appearances, speaking opportunities, etc).

- Pushing a specific political agenda into the debates.
My problem with it is that the author so clearly has an axe to grind about Fiorina that it makes me wonder whether the business analysis (which I agree is interesting) is the result of objective analysis or whether he went in looking to slam Fiorina as an idiot.

I don't use php personally, but most of my rails apps render full pages in under 100ms. I'd imagine php performance to be at least on-par with a full rails app.
For some things, it's the best material. I don't think most reasonable people would say we should ban styrofoam when it's the best material in a safety application.

Not if it's a cube:

Volume = 1e-4 ^ 3 = 1e-12 m^3
Assume density 1kg/l
Mass = 1e-9kg
Velocity = 8000m/s
KE = 0.032J

Mass of bullet (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physics_of_firearms)

A .44 Remington Magnum with a 240-grain (0.016 kg) ...(360m/s)

Which has 1036.8J of kinetic energy.

So the ratio is actually about 32400 in favor of the bullet. But note that this will change with the cube of the size mentioned, so even though this is exaggerated, a fleck of paint 3mm across would make the quote reasonably accurate.

> car, which took a 3rd of that $800/mo

So you lived in Chicago on 528 a month and saved enough to move. You are leaving things out. This was either 40 years ago, you were getting significant social assistance or something.

Lets go ahead and throw out another perfectly, though unfortunate, normal situation. You had parents to even move back in with.

Now then, I don't live in a particularly expensive city. The 'million dollar house' you want to keep throwing around as if everyone has is almost 10 times the cost of where I live. Yet I can still see that not every one is in the exact same situation I am in. Moving to another city would not be something I could do on a whim, though I've had to cover medical expenses this year that are more than what your supposed monthly income was.

By future-proof I didn't actually mean forever. It heavily makes use of es6/es7, so it was designed with "forward-thinking" design choices (forward thinking is what I intended when I wrote future proof). Right now it relies on babel, but as es6/es7 gains adoption it'll grow out of requiring it. Similar to Angular 2.0, which is also being developed with a forward thinking mindset.
Full-time, remote within US

Ksplice is the leading technology that allows administrators to patch the kernel on the fly with zero downtime and zero disruption. We're a distributed team of engineers forming part of the Linux and Virtualization group at Oracle with a passion for working on exciting technology, software craftmanship and all things Linux.

We're looking for a systems engineer to join us, helping Ksplice patch even more of the system, support new releases and improving our workflow. If you take pride in crafting software, don't rest until you full understand complex problems and are curious about what happens on the layer below then Ksplice will be of interest to you. You'll like working at all levels of a Linux system, developing tooling in Python+bash, analyzing security vulnerabilities in Linux kernel patches, enhancing the Ksplice tools and improving the workflow.

Required skills include:

* Skilled with software development best practices including TDD
* Expert level C/C++ programming
* Understanding of security issues and defences in compiled languages
* Strong experience with Python
* Experience developing the Linux kernel or similar embedded systems
* Excellent problem solving and debugging skills

More information about Ksplice is available at http://ksplice.oracle.com/ and you can contact me by email at jamie.iles@oracle.com if you have any questions. Oracle is an equal opportunity employer.
Not necessarily. Take jQuery: many sites use it. If both sites A and B load it from a CDN, and I've already visited site A, then when I visit site B, jQuery is already in my cache: we might not even need to request it, despite never having been to site B before.

However, traditionally, the CDN now controls the content of your JS, and could inject whatever they want into it. That's where this proposal comes in…

(Of course, if it isn't in the cache, then you might need as much as a DNS lookup+TCP connect+a TLS handshake to another host… tradeoffs. HTTP/1.x is also limited to n connections to a DNS name at time, so you can parallelize requests by hosting across multiple domains, such as a CDN, but I find this argument less compelling.)
Scribd (YC '06, "Netflix for eBooks", top 100 website, 50 people) is hiring talented devs in a variety of flavors to help us build the library of the 21st century.

We've hired ten full-time people and dozens of interns from these "Who is Hiring" threads ... we do go through all of the applications we receive in response.
There was some feedback about people not hearing back at all. We take candidate experience very seriously and recently hired someone to own our recruiting process and now everyone who applies through our job board (http://grnh.se/gr84t3) will get a response.

Right now we’re looking for:

* mid to senior level Android devs (we're a top 10 eBook app with more reviews than Wikipedia, with a small mobile team so there’s a lot of opportunity for impact and responsibility)

* Data scientists or engineers with experience in Machine Learning / data mining / recommendations - think Netflix prize, but for books!

Please note for Internships:
We look for junior standing or above for all areas of engineering. We hire several interns every summer and fall. We aren’t currently accepting applications for summer 2016 but please check our job board in September for the job posting when we start the hiring process.

We care way more about your personality, potential, and general hacking skills than what specific languages you've used so far, so if you haven't used these but want to break into mobile or web development, this could be a good opportunity for you. We've hired people from these threads with everywhere from 0 to 10 years of experience. That being said, there isn’t always an opening that’s a good fit but we do our best to find a match for talented people and there are several people who interviewed 2 or 3 times before the time was right.

To expedite your application, please apply directly to our job board where you’ll find all of our current opening and the job descriptions. We do our best to respond within 24 hours, and you’ll get an answer either way.

Sorry, but over-citation of the Dunning-Kruger effect is a pet peeve of mine.

People seem to think that the Dunning-Kruger effect means "smart people think they're dumb and dumb people think they're smart!" but I don't think that's very accurate.

What they actually found was that lower-skilled people thought their skill level was somewhat higher, and higher-skilled people thought their skill level was a little lower, but not to the point where their relative perceived skill levels inverted. At no point along the skill curve did people incorrectly perceive themselves to be higher or lower in skill level in comparison others who were actually higher or lower in skill. The perceived skill curve was a little less steep than it should have been, that's all.

"Agreed, I don't understand why so many people use homebrew instead of macports."

This might seem very odd to you, and maybe I'm a weird outlier, but after having used macports for years, and installed it many times on many different systems, the requirement for full blown xcode is quite a turn-off and makes any alternative interesting and attractive.

The OSX system I am typing on now should have macports on it, and I sort of need it, but I just never have time to devote an hour to app store -> dev login -> xcode install -> blah blah -> macports.
No, the attacker decides the hash, since they inject the <script> tag using XSS.

I was thinking more physical consequences. There's no way that a program running on my desktop can hurt me other than privacy / security / availability of my data. But I'm not going to the hospital because your D&D utility was written in a weekend and crashes sometimes.

But you do raise a point about the real costs of mistakes even in trivial systems. Arguably that makes the point that operating systems should have stronger sandboxes between apps. An operating system is effectively infrastructure, you probably want higher quality standards there.
I'd advise caution doing an `rm -r /opt`, and suggest it might be more precise (and generally better) to `rm -r /opt/local`. Macports will typically install to /opt/local, and in my experience, stuff like vagrant and certain VPN clients will install into subdirectories of /opt.
A Different Approach to VC
The goal of most colleges is to grow without bound, consuming entire cities in the process. Administrative staff make up a big part of costs and instructors are paid far less on average than 100k. The real costs are in the construction of huge, fancy new buildings and luxury facilities designed to entice parents and students alike.
