Interesting, maybe it's different in NYC due to all the money in media, fashion, healthcare, and other industries where tech is more peripheral. Recently I've also seen some folks have success after regularly attending the weekly hack nights for their technology of choice, and then get hired after a couple months of that.

It was done with little effort towards proper planning and infrastructure. The entire region from Dulles and east now seamlessly melds into the horrific gridlock of Northern Virginia. Simply voting to allow housing can be as short sighted as what planners had evidently previously planned for in Mountain View.

At any rate, I stand by my assertion that it's a really poor comparison between MV and Loudoun.

Amended to reflect the wikipedia post:
MCI (now Verizon assume) and Aol are really the only large headquartered technology companies that I've seen in Ashburn. There are smaller firms, but there hasn't been a windfall of companies willing to move further away from DC to setup headquarters here. Loudoun remains largely housing sprawl.

"How do you induce, by policy the construction of affordable housing?"

Relax planning restrictions. Allow owners of single-family homes to demolish them and use the land for tall blocks of flats. If everyone could do this, supply would increase by 10x, and anyone making minimum wage or more could afford to live in SF.

The most obvious design mistake is to make essential weapons and items (double jump) hard to find and easy to miss. This punishes a player for playing "as intended", i.e. finishing level. Items that are hard to find and has possibility of not being found at all should offer just slight benefit, so without it player can still complete game without feeling that he missed out.
> The company’s contract specifically provides that calls “to telephone numbers known to belong [to] attorneys are NOT recorded” and that “if any call to an attorney is inadvertently recorded, the recording is destroyed as soon as it is discovered.”

This sounds like they can cover their ass easily by claiming not to know those numbers were attorneys.
> The only way to move information from the outside world into the laptop/HSM is via USB drive. Accordingly, the key-signing request is loaded into the laptop via USB.

Hmm, how sure are they that the OS only allows USB drives (as opposed to keyboards, network controllers, etc.), and contains no exploitable bugs? Is an image of the media the laptop was booted from publicly available, and has it been audited?

I almost feel silly asking, given all the time spent designing this and how smart the people are, but after all that trouble it seems amateurish to use USB...
when the entity purchasing the exploits (the US government) is known to

* engage in human torture
* practice extraordinary rendition to third world countries to circumvent due process
* photograph prisoners naked
* practice extra-judicial, aerial execution

then it's reasonable to call the hat black. that we used to think their hat was white is a testament to their power of deceipt, not an indication that the "hat system" has lost meaning.

I would argue that the hat color is from the perspective of "the public", and clearly the public is on the losing end of lost anonymity.

Two problems: the asserts are only frozen in this case. This is a fraud case, not a drug case, and they've not been subjected to civil asset forfeiture, so this doesn't touch on that.

The other is that if they can never freeze the assets, someone can simply spend or transfer all of their money after stealing it. If a thief has $5,000 and they steal $5,000, they can spend the stolen money and then claim the $5,000 they originally had is untouchable because they only spent stolen money.
There should be another level of blinding: one team writes the study design, then sends the design off to a separate neutral group of practitioners who implement the study and report all results, regardless of outcome.

It'd be a much more expensive way to do science. But if cost matters and avoiding meaningless results doesn't, we shouldn't run studies, we should just flip a coin on every question and save the hassle of pretending.
In SF Bay area. But considering relocation option. Due to several bootcamps in bay area the market is flooded with bootcamp graduates ( I am a bootcamp graduates too). So it is fiercely competitive job market especially for junior developers position.
Different view = flawed?

Though, I guess you were right. My comment was unhelpful and meant to be tongue-in-cheek. My mistake. Downvotes welcomed.

Edit: As much as I liked Strongbad and JoeCartoon, flash still sucks.
It's a start but bay area cities and towns need to realize that as industry and jobs and income grow they will have to grow too (or face increasing housing shortages). This is not the 50s and 60's leafy suburbs anymore. It's an agglomeration and needs to build up --at least along the Camino Real. Allow high density housing and build rapid transit. Allow mixed use development.
> Professionals, as in release AAA games.

Term AAA is ambiguous. Please define it. If you mean publisher funded (a common meaning), then see above. If you mean big budget, then your remark about independent developers is invalid as well (there are independent studios with big budget games). Anyway, I don't see how any of that is related to professionalism. Funding method or budget size has nothing to do with it.

> Of course there are production and development costs, like in any other business

Yes, overcoming lock-in and duplication of effort add extra costs. That's exactly what I was saying above. It equally affects big and small budget projects, as well as publisher funded and independent studios. Saying they don't care about extra costs is simply ignoring the reality.

> How the AAA game development industry works.

Still ambiguous, but let's assume you mean AAA = publisher funded (since you contrasted it with independent studios before).

Simple example - most legacy publishers don't even release games for multiple APIs (such as OpenGL), because of costs. I.e. they are hostages of lock-in. That exactly demonstrates the issue above, and the fact that it has a direct impact.

So saying that no one cares about it (or no one is impacted by this tax on the indstry) is completely wrong.

BTW, this very style of writing - shallow meme-juggling is also very telling.

There are guys like Sartre and Camous or even Henry V. Miller and his immitators, who have wrote volumes on this timeless theme - how the world is dominated by money-chasing mediocrity and absolute futility of this endless struggling and caused by it suffering. A few very good books has been written about realization of this futility and suffering.

So called social responsibility is also as old as humanity. Big Tibetan sects, which in fact were feudal landlords, used a concept of socially oriented Bodhisattvas, invented by pundits in Nalanda, in order to justify why every village should feed them, so they exist to benefit the whole society, which is just another Utopia, because each member of society is optimizing for very selfish, biological goals of survival and reproduction and protection of progeny.

In the context of a CEO blog post such populism is just the same kind of hypocrisy - socially responsible money making is no different from socially responsible authoritarian regime.

There is no need to protect or nurse a society. Just following of some evolved social laws, which could be found in the basis of every religion, and not intervening or abusing free (self-balancing) markets, which is, by the way, is idea as old as kicking speculators and money lenders out of the church, is enough. Society would take care of itself, as most of rural societies still do.

The 'cure' for society, as it have been found millenia ago, is to behave yourself according to the natural laws, and everything else would follow. No amount of governing or policing will help. Behavior of each actor is what society is.

This, BTW, is exactly what America before corporations and big government used to be - a self-balancing society of free people with Constitution as the definition of its structure.
There's a book called "Thinking, Fast and Slow" that mentions some of the concepts covered here.
It seems this is based on the idea that NSA is tracking connections to a person connected to him. Unfortunately, if anyone at NSA were to read this, they would be very easily able to segment off this connection if they wanted. Seems like it would be trivial to add an exclusion.
If anyone is interested in why something like this is important, you might enjoy "The Insider", a movie made about Jeffery Wigand, the VP of Research and Development at Brown and Williamson. (Then the third biggest tobacco company.)

One of the main themes of the movie is how information can be known by everyone, but legally suppressed to the point that it's not actionable.

Wigand had tried to give the information to journalists, but then that information could be suppressed because of Wigand's confidentiality agreements.

A tool like SecureDrop or WikiLeaks allows a new method of releasing information to the public, because it obscures the source while turning it into public information. CBS attempted to do effect the same change (private information into public) by having Wigand deliver his information while under subpoena, but it turns out a prior confidentiality agreement can override your responsibility to tell the whole truth during a subpoena. So a tool like this is basically legal innovation that fills a need that can clearly benefit the world.
As someone who has used both extensively, they both could use improvement.

Possibly, but that's a different discussion, and one that -- unlike the "primary tools" discussion, cannot be solved by throwing more money at it.

In my opinion and experience, unless you already have proper testing practices, for PC development it is better to make sure your developers have test rigs on their table that are comparable to end user equipment -- and, in most cases, it's better if it is their development machine.

> Requiring PC game developers to write a game on a old PC makes no more sense than requiring PSP game developers to write the game on a PSP.

"Old" is a spectrum. Most people on this thread say a (e.g. channeling Spolsky) your developer should have the best machine money can buy - with 128GB of ram, 8 cores, 1TB SSD. That's not on the "old" / "new" gamer machine spectrum at all. It's on a completely different scale, given that most gamer machines these days (AFAIK) have 16GB of ram quad cores with 256GB, and casual gamers have 8GB with 128GB SSD or even an HDD

I would require PSP developers to test and debug on a real PSP rather than an emulator - but since PC is both the dev and the target environment, it is reasonable in most cases to require the dev PC to be comparable to the deployment PC, and that would essentially guarantee proper function (at some dev cost, compared to the "best machine money can buy", but with significantly reduced "you need to fix this" testing feedback cost, with a likely overall positive effect -- at least from my experience).
I confess I've wondered how many of the San Francisco residents loudly blaming the influx of tech workers/startups for the spiraling housing costs there, and (2) moved to the SF Bay Area during the first dotcom rush.
No, if your scenario occurred, there would be a similar sentiment as in the thread here. Motive matters.
I'm the cofounder of a systems and network mapping service (kumu.io) and I can't agree more. Although our primary focus is on systems mapping we also work with a lot of networks. We're constantly reminding our users that the network itself is not the deliverable. Large networks must be reduced to communities / metrics or unfolded piece-by-piece if you want people to actually gain something from them. We have a built in presentation builder to help with that process but a lot of people are just too lazy. I cringe when customers propose 3D as the solution instead.
I guess it depends on the method of surveillance. If your data is being collected by any 3rd party then you might as well assume that any vague yet menacing government agency can access it since it's just a subpoena away. So all the tracking and analytics that MS/Apple/Google/Damn near every tech company put on their services is really the problem.

The only method of securing your data is to make sure it never leaves your computer without your consent and using Linux is one of many possible things you can do to ensure that. Sure, if you're running Skype, Chrome, Steam, etc. on your Linux laptop then the benefit is pretty marginal but still technically better than if it was on Windows.
i chatted with these guys and one of my good friends works there and can assure you your impression is mistaken. udacity will be a big company with a product that works and a healthy business model.
I guess Ontario's policy is okay if you think taking 30 years to double the rent is reasonable. I don't. There should be plenty of time to move out, but rents should reach market rate.

Maybe 7% a year (double in ten years) would be reasonable.
That would allow a really dangerous behavior: the landlords would put flats under the market price, in order to get new tenants, and after one year living there (furniture bought, new friends, school for the children, etc.) the landlords would be able to rise the fee as much as they want.

The situations where there's an asymmetrical negotiation like landlords-tenants or employer-employee must be regulated by law in order to make them fair.

Law, not wealth, should give rights the people.
This is going to be fantastic for us. I'm assuming 9.6 is still some way away though.
I'd say revenue's probably the better number. Profit varies by quite a number of factors, but revenue is a reasonably reliable yardstick for the size of the business.

For example, consider Amazon, who didn't turn a profit for decades:

It's shame that The Register had ruin a good story with their shoddy, tabloid-esque journalism by claiming that the UN privacy head called Vint Cerf "dumb". He never called him "dumb", he actually highlighted his intelligence but claimed that he said something "dumb". There's a huge difference. One implies a personal trait whereas the other refers to a single occurrence which may be an anomaly.

> 1. DNSSEC doesn't protect against ISPs hijacking DNS responses

DNSSEC protects signed zones by allowing clients to notice a suspicious lack of a valid signature on responses that should have been signed. DNSSEC doesn't protect unsigned zones, but that shouldn't surprise anyone and isn't really an indictment of DNSSEC's capabilities.

> I'm not sure what difference it makes to be sending packets to the wrong IP.

That malicious IP gets to record what kind of connection my computer was trying to make to that domain, even if the connection attempt is aborted relatively early. That's more information being leaked than if my computer had been able to determine that it got a probably-spoofed DNS response and aborted there.

Playing shenanigans with the DNS server is a lot easier than full-scale snooping and tampering on all traffic, which is why ISPs commonly do the former but the latter is usually only done with NSA involvement.

It needs to be hard for ISPs to direct all mistyped domain names to their own advertising (and in the process, implicitly pretending that the Web is the only use for the Internet) or to claim that sites they don't like don't exist. DNSSEC helps with that.
A lot of people in this thread are misreading the blogpost. The primary complaint is against Feds and not CMU[1], specifically that the Feds used a loophole in the legal system to exploit Tor. They are then asking the university and researchers to be more careful about the funding/nature of their research and blaming them for bringing academic security research into dispute.

I agree that some of the middle paragraphs could have been worded more carefully.

Housing is a necessity, and while, in our current system, we allow the free market to provide that, it runs counter to the goals of a stable and healthy society to allow landlords to force people out of their homes arbitrarily.

Like health care and education, there are significant long-term and short-term benefits to treating housing as more than just another contractual transaction (for example, tenants who develop a sense of ownership of their place and treat it with respect and take care of it, vs. 'who cares we'll be out in a year anyway'), or building a sense of community in an area (a psychological necessity, and one which has tangible benefits like reduced crime, which in turn improves property values).

My goal when making the game was actually to make players feel like they missed out, but let them complete the game anyway. If I remade the game, however, I think I'd create another category of item to collect (trophies / coins / stars / whatever) which have no gameplay value but allow you to keep score, and then I could put the hearts and weapons farther out in front, where they're easier to get.

It depends a bit what specific stacks you are interested in. Pluralsight and Lynda's "all you can eat" monthly subscriptions are probably the best since they just have more classes all around. Lynda by and far has the most classes available. They have more tech classes than Pluralsight, but they also have classes in many unrelated categories as well. The flip side; I think Pluralsight holds content authors to a higher standard. Once Pluralsight was heavily focuses on .NET, but they've branched out a lot more.
