Yep, You are right. Similar services that existed has been shut down now. We even got the inspiration from them for starting Agent48.

We ourself experienced a bad service delay or costly rate for outsourcing simple tasks. So we friends came up with this idea to help people with similar problem. And we are here to stay and deliver with your support.

Give our service a try and spread the word. Thanks again.

The screenshot there is not about surveillance. Is there a fuller version somewhere?

Also, the article says

>The official said that Snowden had asked a question, but had not “raised concerns” about the NSA’s practices.
OpenStack: Good cloud, but hard to master

Any reason why jQuery isn't on this list?
No, direct democracy is a tyranny of the majority. What we need is to return to our idealogical roots of our actual governmental system: constitutional republic, or, in better words, constitutional representative democratic republic.

The power of true American exceptionalism lies in the fact that individualism and individual sovereignty is our foundational principle.

As Christopher Hitchens said: "The American Revolution, the one that says, build your public on individual rights, not group rights, have a bill of rights that inscribes these and makes theme legible to everybody, separate the church from the state, separate the executive from the judicial, and the political branch. Do all these things; It doesn't sound like much but it's really a very revolutionary idea. There is hardly a country in the world that wouldn't benefit from adopting those principles. I think that gives the United States a really good claim to be a revolutionary country as well as of course, paradoxically a very conservative one."

"Of course, objectively as well as subjectively, the American revolution is now the only revolution with a fighting chance of survival and success: the idea that you could create a multicultural democracy over a vast expanse of the earth's surface that could possibly be emulated by other people."

What I think is that in allowing the separation of powers and checks and balances functions to erode, particularly giving power to the executive under the banner of war, we have strayed from the fundamental principles of our Constitution, and a return to this model is where the true future of America lies. Of course I don't like saying "a return to" because our history has been filled with issues in this regard, so I want to avoid giving any pretence of a panacea of the past, but the beauty of our system was supposed to be that it would continually, if gradually and slowly, be improved. I no longer thing we are improving in a constitutional sense, and supranational global governance is all but openly accepted on the hill. Borderline treasonous if you ask me.

In an oath the Constitution, one swears to protect and defend it from enemies foreign and domestic. I tell you now, with full conviction, that our Constitution has more numerous and more engrained and powerful domestic enemies than foreign ones.(or domestic enemies backed by foreign ones) The thing is though, our true foreign enemies, the ones who are actually a constitutional threat, don't wear a thwab... they wear business suits and ties.

In my many years of trying to understand the larger geopolitical chessboard since I got out of the military, my conclusion is that all roads of corruption in America lead to DC and to Wallstreet, but that most roads of corruption from there lead to the City of London and to the various hidden vestiges of European monarchy and oligarchy, including the papacy. (and this is giving you the sanitised version so as not to explode your head with conspiracy theory.)

Until this is understood, we will be unable to truly defend our country and it's constitution.

Agreed. In the end I deleted my account and haven't looked back. It gave me no value and just pissed me off.
You're saying that VCs (i.e. funds that do not invest in public companies) figured out they're too leveraged and had to sell the (public!) share of LinkedIn exactly as LinkedIn announced horrible results/outlook?

A few things in the above explanaiton aren't completely consistent...
The alternative perspective is that, for the same reasons recent cover stories have shown involving the US preparing to abduct Snowden if he ever left Russia, and the fact the US continues to practice human rights violations in Gitmo without stopping, that nobody who is on the bad side of the US government has any valid reason to expect legal treatment in a country that has in the past ten years actively engaged in illegal torture and continues practicing illegal detainment.

I said this elsewhere - if I committed a generic felony in the US, such as robbery or rape, and lived in the EU and was going to be extradited, I would not need to fear for my life (I would somewhat, since US prisons are extremely corrupt places, but that is mostly due to corruption and a lack of accountability within the prison system than something intentional) in the way someone who has actively worked against the interests of the US government in the international information scene through leaks or other reveals they don't like. You are not just involved in the general criminal justice proceedings when its personal between you and the CIA, and are much more likely to "disappear" and end up dead in a ditch months after the public forgets about you. Both Snowden and Assange have legitimate reasons to fear for their life, because rights and liberty and rule of law only last as long as you are playing along within the system as it is presented to you - when you start tearing down the curtains all bets are off.

We both understand arbitrage to mean the same thing. Where we disagree is on whether or not this is the correct way to describe what homejoy is doing. I don't think that your model fits the actual facts of the transaction.
He doesn't have to. Both Snowden and Glenn Greenwald have acknowledged both that there are documents in the Snowden tranche that are not in the public interest to disclose, and that all the documents had not been reviewed before being turned over to reporters.

Thank you, that was my point as soon as I heard about "our" roads being made into non efficient solar panels.

However, given the few experiments conducted so far, it seems that it wouldn't be any more efficient than solar panels, moreover, the technology to cover roads with piezoelectric sections hasn't been tested out of research, AFAIK.

I disagree. They're ignorant. How could they not be? 3000 people died in the twin towers. Thats nothing. The spying is far scarier. They own us. Totally. No one can escape it. Anyone who intends subversive action can be targetted. They can be approached and manipulated by an agent who knows everything about them. The would-be-subversive can be nudged, sabotaged or flat out blackmailed. There won't be any more rights movements in this environment. At least not "real" ones. They will manufacture contrived movements to subdue us. Anyone who thinks this is right hasn't thought it through; They are wrong.

If you're one of the people holding this opinion, you are wrong.

At the very least you're wrong about them being properly informed.

Not a recruiter but I've gotten all but my current job through recruiters.

I think the quoted moral still applies - you obviously have to disclose what you want to earn if you expect to actually earn that. However, what I made at my last job had zero bearing on my expected salary at my current job. If a recruiter is just trying to find out what I want, they can ask. However, I think more often than not they're getting paid on the spread and if they can place me in a job with a cap of $180 for $150, they'll do so and pocket whatever their percentage of the spread is.[0]

[0] I know this isn't how all recruiters are paid, but many are.
I'm not clear if we're in good or bad shape. Exporters are in trouble: strong dollar, failing overseas economies, etc. Declining S&P500, bonds prices rising, etc.

Market prices are still overvalued, as well =( http://www.multpl.com/shiller-pe/

IBM, Intel, HP, etc are all declining, as well as retailers like Wal-Mart. Obviously the jobs report is welcome news, so maybe I just have an overly pessimistic outlook.
I wouldn't even know where to start to be completely honest.

> Surprisingly, rustc optimizer makes sure that this performs as well as the index-wrangling implementation (according to some simple tests I just ran).

Frequently functional style optimizes better than the equivalent loop and index implementations because the iterator functional implementation cannot go out of bounds on the array, so the bounds checks that are implicit in indexing are elided.
(even more anecdata and speculation) I live in Washington, and it is absolutely not a problem here. The main difference, to my mind, is that alcohol induces higher risk behavior, while cannabis produces risk aversion. Prohibition has been an abject failure. That said, I don't think it's very good for your brain. Worth avoiding or at least moderating your intake.
If there's a vanilla JS version already why would you need it to use jQuery? Wouldn't that be introducing a new 'single point of failure' into this code on your page? If there's any problem with jQuery or jQuery on your page then this code would then also be vulnerable. As-is it's good to go :)

Are you kidding? Frankly, people never shut up about them. Even that famous "We Are All Americans" article after September 11th, 2001 went on about how the attacks were blowback for past American misbehavior.
Exactly! I wish more recruiters thought like this. There's absolutely no point for either the recruiter or the candidate to go through an interview process only to get an offer that won't be accepted. For instance, I'm working at a great place right now, and it would take a significant bump in salary to get me to even consider moving.

Every time I see something like this, I have to wonder -

Did anybody actually _lose_ anything? It's not like LinkedIn is more or less intrinsically valuable than it was yesterday. The only thing that's happened is that their baseball cards dropped in resale value.

Anybody who thinks a non-dividend non-voting stock is anything other than a baseball card is kidding themselves.
This is probably wrong. IMHO what looks like has happened is there are a handful of HN-relevant companies had weak earning announcements yesterday[1] after market close, and that is coupled with a weaker US jobs report [2], [3] today. The overall market is off and there are a handful of major drops for the companies mentioned but this is not some public tech market panic event (yet).

That's not to say we're not due a correction.

I can tell an amateur programmer because they aren't getting paid. Flippancy aside though:

While I don't think it's what you're arguing for, I'd fear some would use an argument like this to defend a workflow and culture where new features are started by copy and pasting a mass of code, and then going in and tweaking little things here and there. Then when something has to change across the system, there are endless traps because things you need to change and maintain, that look identical, aren't quite. These workflows and cultures exist.

There's a balance somewhere and finding that is the hard part, right?
Anything from a Facebook domain hitting my mail server is bounces them back to Facebook's abuse and postmaster addresses. I know categorically that it is abuse, because I am the sole user of my mail server and do not now and have never had a Facebook account, and have repeatedly asked them in various ways to stop spamming me.

Useless, of course. But just because they ignore internet norms of decent behavior doesn't mean I will.
> it tells her its hard drive is full despite seeming to have 16 gigabytes free.

If she has a lot of small files she might have run out of inodes [0] which will report "no space left on device" when trying to create a new file, although there's still space left. Inodes store a file's attributes. In ext4 they're limited to total disk space / 16Kb, so a lot of files <16kb will cause trouble.

You can check inode usage via `df -i`.

It takes an ungodly amount of resources to do not very much. It's very buggy, frequently the HTML charts time out or just break with no indication why. Upgrades require a lot of manual work. The javascript API is reasonably documented, but, again, buggy.

It's an unholy combination of rails and postgres somehow hacked to run on windows. Really, they should just ship a linux VM that runs these things decently.
I suggest Digital Ocean should be using any mechanism that stops a single server from affecting data. A SAN backed block store allows you to provide rules for the level of redundancy required, as well as replication mechanisms for things like firmware failures, to a much greater degree than a host backed RAID array.

> You said "cargo doesn't care how fast it gets to the destination". Well, some cargo does.

The speed difference between truck and a new hyperloop-based system is not going to be enough to justify the complications involved in including another element. Automation is going be the governing innovation, not a hyperloop.

> You also said the cargo system is larger than the passenger system. Well, that just means there's obviously demand and maybe Musk should have put that in his white paper.

Yes, its much bigger and the US has been optimizing for it for a long time. The demand is being met in a variety of ways with self-driving and drones being the next, more flexible step. I am pretty sure that's why its not in the white paper.

> You're sure it'll never happen, I'm suggesting it might. Not that it will, just that you're a bit too confident in your position, considering it's a bet against out ability to innovate around problems.

I not betting against innovation, I'm betting against the premise that we have a problem that further automation (e.g. self driving vehicles) and drones won't take care of. I see it very much like putting a generator on a bicycle to warm the handlebars[1] as opposed to just wearing gloves.
