The U.S. Military does a passable job of this with the Common Access Card (CAC). You insert it into a smart card reader and then visit the restricted-access website. Your browser/OS prompts you for a PIN which, I believe, is used to decrypt your private key. Your browser validates the remote site against a set of DoD-provided root certificates that you configure on your computer before hand. Then, some kind of key exchange happens--this has always been a bit fuzzy to me--and the keys on your CAC card are used to authenticate you to the remote site.

It's not perfect, of course. You can lose your CAC card and then you're screwed unless you have a way to get new one. It requires a smart card reader which is not standard on most computers. The cards themselves can get damaged by corrosive liquids or sweat (learned this the hard way). Still, it's not a bad way of authenticating and I feel much better about it than a SSH private key that hasn't been encrypted with a passphrase.

The investment bank's fee is a percentage of the proceeds (typically around 7%), so you're saying that they gave up millions of dollars as a favor to their "friends". I think it's more likely some combination of:

a) they screwed up (60% is too high);

b) they have to balance making as much money as possible (=> high price), and not ripping off the investors they hope will participate in future IPOs (=> low price); and

c) current shareholders want a healthy secondary market and a good collection of longer-term shareholders, even if that means getting paid somewhat less for the ~5% of the company they just sold off.

>When does an investigation start and end? What about when you're close to filling your limit but a few new great leads come in.

What about that? They could have a limit in the tens of thousands or so. As long as they don't waste it on BS, they could follow all the promising cases they want.

The idea is not to let them follow everybody, just for the fun of it.
I think this is going to happen regardless of sentiment. You give people antibiotics, they die. You don't give them antibiotics - they die either way.

The only thing to do is to remove the "apply antibiotics because it looks like we're doing something" and save the antibiotics to use for cases where it will actually work.
Sure you can. It's a low bar. That's the point. In the absence of any possible evidence we have to work with what we've got. As for cryptic - if you can google it I don't consider it too cryptic. lmgtfy

And I only mean ultimate, now. Compared to the other religions we could be squabbling over. In a future religion, god could be all that + offer you a pony. We'll never know. But for now, of the choices, they're all obvious losers compared to Mormonism. Literally, you could upgrade a catholic or a muslim by giving them Mormonism.

As for Smith's motivations, who's saying he wasn't fixing things. He just didn't feel the need to get all stabby and make killing a sacrament.

And it conflicts nothing - it tells it how it is. The pope is god's voice, there's no conflict. Perhaps the pope is the missing element in islam. As the ultimate religion we can only assume it has not just a point, but a great one.
Seattle Legends: I interviewed designer David Conrad
Yep. I have the choice of Comcast or AT&T, the latter of which only recently got competitive in the speed category. I was with AT&T for many years, before my current 10+ year stint with Comcast. They are both horrible on customer service and IT (managing their own infrastructure). It's really a toss up as to which is worse.

I know Google fiber will never come to the East Bay (SF area). It would be so nice to have, though.
Were you really expecting a coverage of mathematics broad enough to include actuarial science? I agree there seems to be a large number of topics useful for graphics programming, but of course the site can't hope to cover every application of mathematics.
Maybe try a certified letter first? Also, they don't require YOU to ack, they require SOMEONE to ack, as I don't see anywhere where they actually have the "acker" verify that they are the account holder. I wonder if there is a legal loophole that the account holder could use as they can't prove that the account holder is the one that acked.

Why did I choose the DragonFlyBSD Operating System?
Unfortunately I think this is the experience of most people in the U.S. At least in my adult life, the choice has mostly been between AT&T and Comcast. I was lucky to get 100Mbs for $50/mo for a while (obviously with a small ISP), but that was just a particular building that happened to have a point-to-point wireless setup on the roof. Now things are worse... I happen to live somewhere that actually has fiber in the ground (thanks to some federal grant the city received) but there is no service provider that uses it! I would be happy to ditch AT&T/Comcast for life if it were possible.

My HTPC is still running Windows 7 only for Windows Media Center (using a HDHomerun Prime decoder box and CableCard). Once the program guide information is no longer updated or Microsoft somehow forces me to get rid of Windows 7, I will in turn get rid of cable TV.

The only reason I still have it is for basketball, but there are an increasing number of services (legal or otherwise) by which I can get all of that streaming online, so I may end up cancelling even sooner if given an excuse to do so (like if service goes down or they decide to jack prices again).
Why should any company listen to "shareholders"?

Shareholders don't think long-term.

Shareholders prefer the immediate cash out gratification.

Warren Buffett does not listen to shareholders for the same reason. They are not thinking about the business.

Unfortunately, too many CEOs think the same way -- immediate cash out, screw the long-term growth.
Bitcoin itself is a chore to anonymize properly AND to feel 100% safe after doing it.

I know some people like Monero (crypto note ring signature based, not Satoshi base) but as far as using bitcoin base code, Dash (formerly darkcoin) has the best coin join like solution.

It's a decentralized, passive (done before any real transaction), denominated mixing with up to 16 rounds. Obtaining less than a 1% chance of unmasking a SINGLE transaction in their model would cost millions of $.

I don't bitcoin is going anywhere but the flexibility some of these altcoins have is amazing for development. Dash (digital+cash) btw, wants to fix every problem with bitcoin.

They have anonimity, incentivized full nodes which share the block reward, instant transactions (5 of 6 confirmations within a few seconds) and more recently a model to fund development of the currency directly on the blockchain. Developers propose projects which are voted on and the blockchain itself sets aside the budget.
> Can someone decode this euphemism?

Here's how it was explained to me:

Imagine that you sell Mercedes cars for 50 000 USD or more. Now imagine that a customer comes in one day and asks for the best model with all of the features, for only 10 000 USD.

Is it _wrong_ for the customer to ask? No. Will they be able to buy a Mercedes for 10 000 USD? No. What will happen is the customer will reset their expectations based on the current market. They may decide to not buy a car. They may decide to buy a cheaper car.

Same in the labor market. Employers can ask for anything they want. Whether they _get_ it is another matter entirely.
Not true, there has been significant efforts towards Codec 2, the libre digital voice codec/software/hardware/stuff around it.

My impression is that the media event of an IPO is higher valued than the money
Personally I'd like to see disjoint drivers and operating systems. No single OS model solves all problems. Of course no driver code scales to unlimited uses, but at least steps should be taken to ensure that current driver code goes as far as it does. (Then again, I already did that, now just putting my mouth where my money went)
Right, so you mix multiple times. You use unlinkable wallets. Electrum and Multibit wallets in Whonix VMs work well. And you successively use different mixing services, so deanonymization would require collusion. Doing three successive mixes is prudent.

"schools are going to have to pay more attention to careers and what employers want". India being one of the countries focussed on, this is definitely a huge problem. Most students aren't sure of what the real world applications of what they learn are. Compulsory 6 month internships, exposure to a lot of companies and the work that people with their educational qualifications do and of course very simple interpersonal skills can go a long way. I run my own company and I still get resumes in .doc format, which were forwarded to me after being sent to another employer! Recommendations have proven to be the best way to hire for us even though those resumes have not been too impressive to begin with!

It's not like our economy is exactly friendly to hispanics either.

There was a recent NPR/PRI piece discussing how the only reason the dairy industry in Wisconsin is still afloat is due to immigrant labor being paid below legal wage limits. Its not what I'd call "quality of life" for these folks, and when you're badly hurt in a farming accident (did you know that farming is one of the most dangerous professions in the US? neither did I), you've got to take care of it yourself.

Undocumented immigration is an easy problem to solve. If you're a company employing non-citizens without legal approval, the penalties start at $1 million/employee.

That's not going to happen though, because consumers want services and products at extremely low prices (which would be pushed up by more expensive labor) and businesses want to stay in business (who probably couldn't if they had to pay wages dictated by law).

The issue is that when they can't, instead of compromising and training up someone with less applicable skills they simply crow about a "talent shortage".
I've seen tons of people pointing out some non-existent error with Alanis' use of "ironic" in that song.

Most of them have this dictionary definition in mind: "the expression of one's meaning by using language that normally signifies the opposite, typically for humorous or emphatic effect."

But they seem to forget the other meaning, probably because they never bothered to check the lemma in their dictionary:

"a state of affairs or an event that seems deliberately contrary to what one expects and is often wryly amusing as a result"

The first case is "being ironic". The second is about the inherent "irony" in certain situations.

That you never seem to find something (e.g. a beer opener) when you need it, and you chance upon it anytime you don't do is a mild example of the latter.

As is getting presented with or chancing upon "ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife".

I (and most people) are more likely to rage-quit and go do something else than try to navigate three layers of outsourced customer service that is designed and optimized to deflect people, waste their time, and only if they are sufficiently insistent, and border-line belligerent, maybe give them an answer more involved than "unplug your modem and plug it back in"

I'm really curios, why do you think that less privacy and more government control means safety?

Suppose that this less privacy equals greater safety, is it smart allowing the government to have this sort of power over us? Sure maybe the current government is awesome and really wants to keep us "safe", what if the next president is an evil tyrant who suddenly has all that power.

People can ultimately use any tool to do evil imho, would you like the government to control who can buy knives and cars for example? both of them can be used to do evil acts.
This is interesting.

Yelp has also started doing something along these lines selecting quotes from reviews in which a word that occurs frequently has been found.
At gun point.

And no Mexico did not start the war, America stole a bunch of their territory, Texas, by annexing it. Texas, the Lone Star Republic which essentially wanted to be its own country. That usually leads to war.
Annexing and then winning the ensuing war is largely how territories have been claimed throughout human history. Fair purchases are the rare, and recent, exception.

Singling out the US as some sort of unprecedented evil for doing what everybody else has always done is likely the cause of the downvotes.
Not true. I own my domain, and I own it in a very specific juridical sense.

It's not tangible, because domains aren't, but it's a lot more like owning a car than leasing a car. The ownership is stronger than for my phone number or my birth name, for example.

While the term identity provider might not sound well, it is necessary for a system where you have multiple identities. And I think it's pretty well established that that is a requirement for the modern web.

There have been a few very friendly elmers, don't get me wrong. On Field Day a couple years ago I saw on the ARRL's website that there was a gathering for a club I didn't belong to about two hours away, at the club president's home, so I decided to stop by.

The home owner invited me, a stranger, inside and basically left me alone in a room with tens of thousands of dollars of equipment and said "Have fun!" I stayed for hours. I would join his club if it were closer to me.

In general, however, unless you're complaining about how Obama is ruining the country or how your arthritis is acting up, it's hard to fit in with most hams.

Yes. As are you. Put it this way, BMI is used to calculate that 35% of people in the USA are obese and 34% are overweight. Is that because there are lots of people who are borderline ripped and BMI is flawed, or is it because there are lots of overweight people? Which do you see more of when you walk down your average street. If it's the former then I will concede that I am incorrect and that you're statistically normal, but we both know it's the latter and it's to your credit that you're likely to be very healthy.

Note: I'm making an assumption you're in a western country like the USA or the UK
Instead of avoiding sarcasm completely in the office, the research suggests sarcasm, used with care and in moderation, can be effectively used and trigger some creative sparks.

Who really has the presence of mind and self control to use sarcasm with "care and moderation" when in the midst of a work-related social interaction? I think this is just a silly extrapolation to draw from the evidence presented.

Sarcasm can be amusing and perhaps useful in satire and social settings where there's no risk of generating animosity between people, but in the workplace where relationships don't necessarily arise from a sense of mutual understanding, I think this article gives us little reason to believe it can do more good than harm.

Management not wanting to enforce a process because of speed will change, it always does once they see clients leaving because of software quality and feature development slowing down.

The problem is between now and then in addition to hoping the pendulum doesn't swing too far the other direction.

Process doesn't have to slow everything down, my guess is you have one of two types of management or maybe both feeding off each other. A, you have young new founders/management that doesn't have experience with good process so they think all process just gets in the way. B, you have some experienced management that only came from or experienced heavy overbearing development processes.

The fact they have hired any type of QA means they do want improvement, but just are failing to see how to get it there. You will always find that QA requires some hand holding, but in the right situation it shouldn't be taking up the majority of your time.

Depending on what your current role is and what you desire to do and whether you like it there all affects what you can do and how to approach it. If you really love it there but are frustrated you can still try and help things get better. Process can be as simple as starting a daily standup on the QA issues and go over them. But to keep the fear down over the "process", don't make it formal yet, just get people together and say hey lets chat about X and Y and try and save us all some time. And just start doing it, don't ask for permission, don't say it is a process. You can influence how things work by influencing the people doing the work regardless of whom they work for etc. You can start small and do little things like this, and when you start seeing results and say you start getting to code 20% more of the time then celebrate that with an email to the group. By doing that you are telling them wow look at how much more productive I have become, oh yea, its from some changes in how we are working. See what I am getting at? Also, you could try another idea of getting 2-3 of the devs together and agreeing that you will each take one week of the month and handle training QA how to test the resolved defects for that week. It also provides a second pair of eyes on defects and cross trains people into other fixes. Or suggest your management hire a development intern for this type of work.

I am not blowing smoke, I have done this more then once. As a consultant, many times I have been asked to come in and fix things, but I am immediately seen as the outsider and people don't want their processes (or lack thereof) to change etc. So instead you have to be creative in getting the teams to buy into the changes without making it seem like you are creating any bad roadblocks etc. And celebrating little wins is usually really helpful. BTW -- doing it the grassroots way takes a lot longer then having someone in management sponsoring the change or demanding it, but honestly, I think the grassroots team way usually sticks better over time.
