It's pretty simple. Be open when it makes you look good, keep secrets when the information doesn't make you look good.
You have to keep the context of the medium in mind when describing this. Voicemails and emails are one thing and are meant to carry an entire cohesive message of longer sizes.

Chat is intrinsically different and almost every single chat conversation I've had in my life has responses broken down into multiple lines. It's just the way thought is translated and how it's often easier to send a line in most apps then try to enter multiple paragraphs. It's also fairly easy for the receiving party to see that the "full" message is still pending and they'll wait until all the lines are received.

Chat also seems to have a slow-start (like TCP) personality where each party initially sets up the connection with a short "hi" first before really getting into conversation. Even though it can be asynchronous like the other types, it's mostly used in a constant synchronous fashion.
I'm pissed that Amazon Video doesn't support my TV anymore. That means I can't hookup my laptop to my TV via HDMI. Extremely frustrating.
I'm really curious as to how cameras are supposed to prevent a person from killing someone, unless they're doing it in some extremely impractical manner of course.
I just asked the Smartflix team about it and here are their answer:
"Hello! Yes, we are aware about the recent statement that Netflix has published, and needless to say we are upset about it!

However this does not mean the end of Smartflix. We are constantly able to outsmart these systems, and we will continue to do so for as long as humanly possible - so fear not!"
The rationalization only works on goods that meet the criterion I just described.

I always want to comment on articles like this and share my opinion, but then I worry that if mass public opinion shifts or changes a decade from now, everything I've said about a touchy subject will be archived online for any future employer to search. There always seems to be a delicate art to wording one's thoughts in a "neutral" way on issues like this.
Is Netflix willing to pay for that? They weren't even willing to pay for worldwide rights to House of Cards and Orange is the New Black--their cornerstone properties.
Fewer meetings isn't the answer, fewer but more effective meetings is.
Looks great Melody! Appreciate the hard work 18F is tackling!

EDIT: I notice you mentioned a newsletter for asking for help:

> To that end, we might use our newsletter as a way to explicitly ask for help. For example, we could include three specific open issues in each newsletter that the public could jump in on.

Something the Coders For Sanders team has found effective is using Slack. I noticed you use Slack as well (from your screenshot). Perhaps 18F could spinup an 18F outreach Slack team, where people with tech skills could join and interact with 18F employees. It closes the feedback loop faster than a mailing list or newsletter.
Guess I'll be cancelling my subscription then.
Understanding ECMAScript 6: Arrays
I am not talking about a content parsing problem. Because of some stupid canonical URL header GitHub serves, Instapaper is constantly saving redacting the URL path to the repo level and they haven't been fixing it since forever.
My unsolicited advice - having done something similar with drupal though, not wordpress - choose something you'll enjoy working with, if it's wordpress, go with it (keep in mind there are a lot of "wordpress" developers and by that i mean, people who just grab a bunch of plugins, put a site together and say they have extensive wordpress experience - don't be that person). That all said, you may have better luck with a framework like rails, django, etc. if you want to make a similar transition into product building...

From there, get involved in the community (e.g., attend meetups, drupal has a good one in toronto). I found success finding clients by learning about drupal and recording video tutorials about what i learned to teach others (drupal has a ridiculous learning curve when you are coming from no where).

Hope that helps.
That's nice, but I wouldn't call it particularly core to ADT systems. It also requires quite a bit more machinery to embed directly since you need to be able to talk about functors/containers.
Really you demand a citation and then it's given you dismiss immediately while also admitting you won't even bother reading it because it doesn't support your view. Why did you even ask?
Dear GitHub
Plane Crash Parachute Protection
Keep in mind that there's a lot of spin and misleading statements made in this area. The article repeats the words "tax break" over and over, but it never actually explains what this means.

But if you Google the actual change being discussed:

"Effective tax rates on production from older oil and gas fields will be reduced from 80pc to 75pc immediately, and backdated to january, while on newer fields it will be cut from 60pc to 50pc, Oil & Gas UK, the industry body said. The changes serve to entirely reverse the tax grab on the sector in the Chancellor's 2011 budget."

Or to put it another way, the UK taxes newer oil fields as 50%, which is a horrible subsidy compared to how they taxed it two years before that, but no change from how they taxed it before that. And in general the UK has (even after the change) some of the highest taxes on petroleum production in Europe.

Question: If the UK has above average tax rates, does that mean it has no subsidy at all? Or is there some "natural" tax rate and any deviation from that is a subsidy? Does it even make sense to call the way you set the amount of money you take from someone a "subsidy"?
> Sure, closure and being able to say it wasn't MH or Boeing's fault is great, but not worth much more than the $100M already spent.

That's a very cold thing to say. This thread is a slightly insensitive, it's akin to mechanically calculating the financial cost of 9/11 (planes, buildings, responders) and then saying "sure, closure [...] is great, but not worth more than the $X already spent". geez.
> It's naive because the vast majority of small companies crash and burn

Most ambitious projects fail, but that doesn't mean they aren't more satisfying to work on. That kind of satisfaction has to do with the work and one's team. It isn't retroactive; it doesn't flip polarity because the project succeeds or fails in the end. Such work is more deeply satisfying because of its nature, even when we know that the odds are against us. And don't forget that most projects—especially most ambitious ones—fail inside bigcorps as well.

There's a cynicism going around about about startups right now where the game is to exchange negative generalizations with other cynics, kind of like trading cards. That's understandable as a reaction in the hype cycle—the startup hype cycle has entered a downturn among the early adopter types who populate places like HN. And yes of course some startups are derivative and some are lame, though the bias to dismiss nascent things as trivial is also a huge distortion, and easy to fall prey to when you're in a cynical mood.

But any account that minimizes the joy of working on a fresh, ambitious project with a small team is clearly mistaking a baby for bathwater. Greater work satisfaction is an important reason why someone might want to work at (the right kind of) startup that has little to do with expected payout and is a form of compensation in its own right. For that type of person it can change the calculus from "meh, it's a lottery" to "the greater meaning justifies the risk".
Where seed = less than US $1 million raised? Then it would depend on how many of the founders are good developers. I would say 3, 2, 1% based on whether you're the 1, 2nd or 3rd (including the founders) FT developer/s. Salary should be 70/80/85% of market inverse to the equity amount. If they're offering less than 70% market then I'd add 1% for every 10% delta. (ie 50% of market cash = 5% equity)
This is incredibly awful and inaccurate advice.

1. The client you use doesn't matter a bit.

2. Encrypting the traffic helps if an ISP is actively looking for torrenting, but they rarely do this. In fact, I suspect residential ISPs (Time Warner, Verizon, Comcast) absolutely never do this; university and corporate network administrators might. In part because it's very time and effort consuming for them, but mostly because lots of people torrent perfectly legal things. People get caught because the MPAA, and other organizations, contract firms to write scripts and bots to crawl sites and hunt for as many trackers as possible, then monitor trackers and record all peers observed if they find a file that matches content they own. Encryption won't do anything there. You can't encrypt your IP address from a peer, obviously.

3. When you do it makes little difference. Your odds of getting caught may be a little higher in the first few days, but many people still get caught several years later. The cost of keeping these scripts on these trackers is merely the cost of a little bandwidth and electricity for them. They have no reason not to sit on a tracker forever.

4. You have it completely backwards. It's the "mafiaa" who send the logs of what they found to your ISP. Then your ISP notifies you of the report they received. They don't require any info from the ISP (unless they decide to later file a lawsuit and want the subscriber's personal information). The burden of proof is on them to give what they have to your ISP.

I've dealt with many of these cases from the perspective of the ISP. None of these are secrets. Using a VPN to do something illegal is not remotely "tinfoil hat".

Just use a VPN or a tracker you're reasonably sure their bots can't find. That's it. It's easy. When you torrent, your goal is to hide from other peers of the torrent, not to hide from your ISP.
Exactly, you're entitled to take what you want when you want for nothing :/
Highways are only useful because there are so many of them that connect just about every community in the contiguous US - what economists call a "network effect". Therefore adding a new highway tends to make the other highways and roads it's connected to more useful. Likewise, public transit systems like the NYC subway are useful because there are so many of them.

When the first train is built in a metro area, it's not going to be useful to very many people. As more lines are built, however, that first train line becomes useful to more people because they can transfer to another line, or a bus line. As the third and fourth lines are built, the marginal utility of that each new mile of tracks goes up as the train becomes feasible for more people.

Of course there are examples of both highways and trains that probably shouldn't have been built where they were built (http://streets.mn/2014/07/07/strangulation-on-the-green-line...). My point is that cost comparisons of building a new highway versus building a new train are skewed by the fact that most metro areas have a mature (even crumbling...but that's another point) highway system, but few is the US have a large network of public transit yet, other than buses that are often slow, late and dirty.
If you include thinking about work, then even work-from-home people could reach the 50+ figure relatively easily since you include weekends and trying to get to sleep. But then you might easily get into low numbers of hours per week, 15-30, if you subtract things like spending some large % of your time doing non-productive non-work (happy hours, lunches not at your desk, watercooler talk, browsing HN) even though you're at work.

Work time should generally only be the time between clock-in and clock-out. For professionals that are freed from clock-in-clock-out, I think they would still clump around that 40 hour figure if you made them clock-in-clock-out for the data rather than for the pay.
On another note are there any plans to implement Roaming in the server? Because vulnerabilities aside it sounds like an awesome feature and I would use it all the time.
Unless it's your first connection to a legit uncompromised server, yes? (AWS instance, etc)

What even uses GraphQL, other than Facebook?
To be honest the whole way the internet has always worked is a little backwards...

- HTTP: White background with black text.

- Mixed content: "Scary" red cross through it.

- Domain verified: Green

- Identity verified (EV): Super-green

In an ideal world it would work like this:

- HTTP & Mixed Content: "Scary" red cross through it (i.e. "unencrypted" or compromised encryption).

- Domain verified: White background with black text.

- Identity verified (EV): Super green.

So DV just becomes the new "normal," since all it is asserting is that you haven't been MitM-ed to the specific domain requested. HTTP becomes the new bad (which it is). And only EV gets the green padlock treatment (i.e. so you look for THAT if you enter personal information).

PS - Plus you've always been able to get a Let's Encrypt-style certified, just costs you $8 which is easy to get using stolen credit cards.
Those jobs are few, not plenty. They also tend not to be tech companies unless they are bodyshop/ad-agencies in which case you'll find 60 hour work weeks.
What about paying people to provide security services?

Eyewitnesses might not be foolproof, but they're better than a cost effective dummy camera after a murder has taken place.

I don't think the murderer in this case was deterred at all, perhaps an intimidating rent-a-cop would have allowed the murder to occur near a working security camera where the police could have gathered useful information about the crime.
looks pretty cool! have you thought about integrating the php app into other projects?

I know for example that ownCloud has great problems to efficiently display images and something like what you created looks a lot better than what they have so far. Keep it up :)!
That seems incredibly unlikely. Also maybe mosh [1] will do that for you.

This isn't a false claim.
It remains to be seen whether this is really 'controlled deflation' or the early stages of a runaway collapse. All of the triggers for financial meltdown mentioned in the article are quite plausible (with the possible exception of the asteroid strike). The swans are not as black as they once seemed.
I notice that, generally, the same political groups who want to eliminate race in admissions also want to stop immigration from Mexico and Syria, and to make it more difficult for non-white people to vote.

They always frame it in terms of 'fairness', but I see another pattern. Does anyone really believe they are motivated by fairness? There are people facing far more unfairness in the world and in the U.S. than wealthy white and Asian college applicants - I don't see these groups paying much attention to them.

Perhaps what outrages people about Trump is that he says what many others in his party say, but doesn't use the dog-whistle[1] coded bulls*t words to cover it up.

many cameras /everywhere/ are 'decoys' although often through lack of maintenance and being broken rather than intentionally.

as much as they are being a security hole, they are also a cheap deterrent. i'd rather we have them than not.

most criminals are smart enough to not want to be seen... despite the misconception that many criminals are stupid, desperate or somehow abnormal people who do not behave like 'the rest of us'.

in the cases where people are genuinely out of their minds it won't make a difference. in that case its much sadder that there is no possible deterrant imo, than that we can not then track down the perpetrator of the crime.
So let get this straight. I'm not allowed to watch something because I'm an Australian. That's discrimination, pure and simple.

If you can't in good faith find a way to watch the content legally, sure go ahead and pirate it without feeling bad.

But my point was an 8 dollar netflix subscription isn't a "all you can eat" pass for content. Yet, people treat it like one. Like somehow content deserves to be pirated if it isn't on netflix.
Speed differentials, and loss of control at cruising speed. A 5 mph tap and a 5 mph relative tap at 60 mph on a highway with a slight (for the speed) bend are two entirely different things.

fun question, these came to mind:

police / law enforcement - instead of sending out a chopper or team of 5 patrol cars on a high speed chase, they can send out a drone with spotlight to follow the perpetrator around until he or she is apprehended.

looking for meth / cocaine labs in Mexico, columbia etc.

Already happening, but aerial photography will move completely away from helicopters to drones.

Emergency medical supply (tech supply, food/water) delivery "in the field."

Census / city calculations.

Looking for potential gold / mineral deposits in remote locations. Drones would be sent out, collect soil sample and retrieved.
While they are very likely of "prevention of repair" on purpose (voiding your warranty, soldered stuff, yes I suppose sockets cost money and add thickness) and "style obsolescence" (somewhat indirectly due to fast-moving mobile trends), I think that in general they do things which enable people to practically use their devices longer than other manufacturers (reasonable battery replacement, older devices still receiving OS updates up to 2 years after their release date, solid hardware compared to the competition).

Planned obsolescence in these ways is not the same as "let's build it crappy / with known weaknesses so it breaks and people have to buy a new one". Mobile is super competitive, and part of Apple's brand is their [perceived] high[er than the competition] quality.
That's a very good piece of advice too!

Are you referring to 18F specifically, or just to the US government? I've been quite impressed by what I've seen from 18F so far, so I'd be curious to hear more about it if your comment was directed specifically at them.

A bit off topic, but did he literally let a reporter into his house and take a photo of him in his bed - or is that just a stock photo? Either way a bit creepy...
In which case, assuming there are no contractual obligations to the contrary, I'd say go for it.
I love what you guys are doing. I have a group of young and foreign developers, and I seriously want to get them involved with things like this more. There is so many good ideas that could help the government.

How can I leverage these young minds to get excited?

Do you have hackathons?

Do you have an incubator?

Do you have an open list of problems with grants?

These are the type of things that I think would help. Feel free to email me at jbhatab@gmail.com if you wanna chat more :D.
Anti-"Shy mode" with all such frames connected over intranet would be really cool!
It needs to keep on being repeated until 20-somethings aren't getting chewed up and spat out by the startup machine anymore.
Curious what's not working. Is it a DHCP thing? On my upstairs TV I regularly hook up a laptop or just cast a browser tab (fullscreened) to the Chromecast when I want to watch Amazon video. My only real complaint is that I can't just cast from the Amazon video application on a mobile device the way I do with Netflix or HBO Go but that's just them wanting you to buy a Fire Stick so there's no Chromecast support in the app. When Chromecasting the tab is occasionally flaky I just plug in the spare HDMI that used to go to the Xbox.
Having seen and understood just a few fragments of Al Jazeera behaviour in Arabic, I have some difficulty in trusting it in English either.

E.g. just today came up this post which points out how Al Jazeera used a picture:

https://twitter.com/ranaharbi/status/685357579615232000

They stole a picture taken by photographer Serkan Gülsen in Istanbul in 2007 from his Flickr feed

https://www.flickr.com/photos/serkangulsen/771185410/in/date...

and now (January 2016) published it as evidence of suffering in the town of Madaya.

It's likely that the suffering in Madaya is more than horrible, but why be so lazy as to forge a picture like this? Are they actually trying to destroy their reputation, or do they just trust that the Arabic audience will not notice?

And if it does that in Arabic, do I trust it in English?
really? i'm pretty sure i live there and this is the exception rather than the case. particularly on public transport i have never seen this... although i've seen it in restaurants and shops quite a few times, but certainly much less frequently than i have seen cameras, or things that look like them.
The main issue I see with this new enterprise business is that it depends on people using the Foursquare / Swarm app. And few people seem to be using it lately. In the past, I had tons of friends using it. But checking my friend list, no one is using for quite sometime.

As might be expected from a description so terse, this is a bit of a generalization. I think my preferred explanation is that FreeBSD aims to be a more usable general purpose operating system, whereas OpenBSD is more conservative, preferring to grow at its own pace and in its own directions which may not necessarily be the state of the BSD art in terms of user friendliness. A great example of this is ZFS; no free or paid OS outside of Solaris supports ZFS to the extent that FreeBSD does, but if you want to use ZFS with OpenBSD, you're outta luck - it's not even on the roadmap. Last I checked, OpenBSD had no interest in moving from GCC to Clang/LLVM either.

That being said, both OSes are free, and so is VirtualBox, so why not spin up a couple virtual boxes and give them both a try when you have the time?
I think this is a couch.
