This is super-fascinating. I've always known that the game/animated film developers really do take the "whatever it takes as long as it's not in shot" approach very seriously. Rarely do we see what that means in practice.

EDIT: Btw, English may not be his native language, but this guy is incredible at exposition and constructing an entertaining narrative from a very technical subject.
But how much effort will you spend on edge cases?
Possibly a timing issue? People often leave jobs after 2-3 months if it's not a good fit, otherwise they generally stay until they hit their year mark. Looks like you're at six months.
I'd go for the classic bank analogy. Who's responsible, the bank that left the front and vault doors wide open all night while not bothering to hire any guards, or the guy that walks in, goes "bloody joke", and takes some lollipops from the counter?
(Un)mployment/skills/salary is just one peculiar property of the world you live in, making too much identity out of that seems unhealthy. Frankly, the first time I recall thinking about myself in such terms was when, as a young stupid kid, I wanted to punish some kids whose envy pissed me off by deliberately bragging how great I am. So, don't treat yourself the way I did my schoolyard enemies :)

To me, no matter how you think and try to rationalize your worth, the sense of worth seems to be strongly connected with empathy. You may experiment with things like making people happy just for the fun of it when you stumble upon some right opportunity for that. I think this slowly improves my relationships with some people.

And I mean actually happy and actually fun - you see, others have empathy too and they know if you are sacrificing yourself for them. This may be appreciated in the short term, but not always in the long term. Sometimes you may paradoxically make them feel better by slowing down a bit, if they can handle that.

These processes are slow, all you do is maintain vigilance and use opportunities as they come. It would be hard to engineer one quick action which fixes everything, humans are weird and unpredictable.
I wouldn't touch a Software Engineering job in Sydney at $80,000. That doesn't buy much of a lifestyle in one of the world's most expensive cities.

Is there any public information on how "unlimited" the unlimited storage is on Google photos? Is there a built in rate limit or max size per account?
Not necessarily. One of the first format string exploits was created by a 16 year old. Luca Todesco provides a constant stream of iOS issues since 17, I believe. I'm sure there are younger hackers around.
Everywhere I've been utilizes some manner of internal app that manages hiring. Computers sure as shit don't forget.
Lauri's case is distinctly different from this, not only because of the seriousness of the accusations but also because he isn't a minor.

It would be quite extraordinary for the US to even request extradition of a 15 year old child, and even more so for the UK to agree to it.
> You say were experiencing scarcity then you start listing off luxuries!

Yup, I'm pointing out that my well-shod, well-fed, well-clothed society is an illusion, and that scarcity is just under the surface.

> An efficient entry-level post-scarcity world is not going to overproduce pairs of jeans

I don't disagree.
What's your motivation for asking this question? There are a number of solutions that solve problems around listing, credit checks, paperwork, etc.

The thing that pisses off landlords the most is problem tenants. The ones that don't pay and/or damage the property. In tenant-friendly states, the eviction process can be long, complicated, expensive and riddled with pitfalls. Additionally, there are "professional tenants" out there who try to game the system by legally squatting.
It's safe to say that you missed my point.
How many UK residents have been extradited to the US on hacking charges?
You mean against T-34 with a technical platoon?

You are a rare breed. I wish it was standard practices everywhere. People really need feedback to correct something they are doing wrong. I would love to be interviewed by you just for the feedback.

1 - If you make them more expensive then only the truly wealthy will be able to buy them. Yes, they exist

2 - Corruption is a matter mainly of personal ethics and perception of things around you. Of course it's hard to turn down heavily compensated engagements or other types of 'incentives' given by big players. Especially when everybody does it. It's really an issue of Game Theory
do you have an example?
Turn it around. Imagine that you have several offers from different companies.

After you choose one (and you can choose only one), do the other companies have reason to get all mopey and feel offended to hear no reason for the rejection?

Of course they don't. Why should candidates feel any differently when a company chooses someone else?
It's amazing that we're migrating all of open source into a single centralized proprietary basket - amazing in a slow motion trainwreck kind of a way.

After we already watched its predecessor Sourceforge fill opensource projects with malware too. One day we're going to look back on all this and laugh "well that was bloody stupid!"

Even Git was created to free the comunity from the commercial restritions of BitKeeper, and the first thing we've done with git is make it centralised and proprietary again.

(Granted the friendlier UI and social network layer is needed, and Github has done a fantastic job there, but holy cow does this feel like watching a trainwreck)
Aside from the malware, SourceForge was also pretty heavily overrun by spammers. Might want to have a look at that.

For example: https://www.google.com/search?&q=site%3Asourceforge.net%20pa...
Fantastic feature set, but on Windows importing from USB cameras doesn't seem to work and it also isn't stable, so a deal breaker. As Picasa hasn't had any love in years, it's future demise was obvious, and my hope is that this creates a whole lot more attention for DigiKam on Windows as it seems to work well on Linux.
I think you're seriously underestimating those chances - they tried long and hard to get McKinnon extradited before May made some variety of back room deal - she isn't the type to be compassionate to someone over mental health issues.

That and the climate has become more, not less, hysterical and reactionary in the past few years.
It seems rather illogical when the requested state already has laws that prohibit such acts against foreign entities.

The UK has already set what they feel are the appropriate punishments for these crimes, how is it logical that a UK resident that hacks a US company faces a significantly more severe punishment than say a UK citizen that hacks a Finnish company?
Exactly this. An attorney will practically start salivating if a despondent candidate comes to them with a story of not getting hired and the company telling them they weren't a good "culture fit."
They also decided to shut down Skitch which I use on a daily basis. Lately I've been looking for an alternative (on Windows) and I think I will go for Greenshot http://getgreenshot.org/

"It's not possible to know attention is unwanted until after it's given."

It is totally possible to know in many different circumstances. Let's take the_af's example: sexual attention in the workplace.

IT IS NEVER APPROPRIATE TO GIVE SOMEONE SEXUAL ATTENTION IN THE WORKPLACE. So, right there we've got at least one way to tell when someone wants attention or not.

Another way to tell is if you are engaged in any kind of business transaction. Paying money at the toll booth, getting your strawberry power boost at Smoothie King, getting an adjustment in yoga class, getting help from tech support. Do not hit on people during a business transaction.

Yet another big hint is any time you're interacting with people you don't know in a situation where they would neither expect nor look for attention. Ask yourself if they came there to get hit on - coffee shop? Nope, they came for coffee. Farmer's market? Nope, came for vegetables. At a tech conference? They came to listen to tech talks. They did not attend so you could hit on them.

--

On a more personal note: you, sir, are basically the stereotype of a misogynist womanizer. You go to tech conferences and hit on women, and even as they complain to your face about guys who pull the same shit you do, you completely ignore the fact that they're telling you they do not want that kind of attention there. The fact that you can convince them to sleep with you does not justify this behavior.

You say women receive more attention because of a social convention about hitting on people, completely missing the fact that most women do not want to fuck everyone they meet, like most men seem to. Women actually receive more attention because of a different social convention - that men believe they have the right to objectify and pursue sex from every woman they find attractive.

Finally, men who don't get laid are not suffering. Except maybe by suffering under the delusion that they are owed sex.
I like to read about the period, and appreciate the scholarship and fact digging (if any), but sometimes the articles have a musk of smugness that I find distasteful.

Or, as the Romans afraid of a shade's retribution put it, "de mortuis nil nisi bonum", hesitating in scoring points off the dead.
Oddly enough, Japanese people do it because it's not that much trouble and the rewards for the overall community are substantial—perhaps even existential—in nature. I agree with you that a selfish, lazy culture where everyone is in it for their own short-term gain will not be able to function in this way. There is indeed a problem with foreign enclaves in some Japanese cities refusing to put in the effort. As far as I know, that is where the municipal authorities come into the picture, levying fines, etc.

There is a very strong "can't do" attitude that is pervasive all across America and Europe (with perhaps Scandinavia excepted) and it is quite obvious once you join a group that actually puts in the effort to serve the group's overall interests based on rational thinking.
Kind of. It's a sort of "bad karma" approach: There's no compiler support per se, but it's generally frowned upon to use "null" in native Scala code. Usually Scala APIs will use Option[T] to signify that something is optional and just assume that you don't pass a Some(null) -- I can't recall off-hand whether the latter will actually throw an NPE.

(Personally, I don't think that it's nearly sufficient, but as Paul Phillips would say "INTEROPERABILITY with Java!". Us Scala users suffer greatly for that nebulous goal.)

> Right, but the gas cost cannot be distributed over _all_ nodes

All computation on the Ethereum blockchain is done through the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). The protocol defines a gas cost for each opcode in the EVM, hence the gas cost is distributed across all nodes.

Any singular node can change the gas cost in their client, but if they pay less than the cost that the miners expect then their transactions will not be processed - as it typical with distributed consensus systems.

> I'll keep looking around for more info, but I do hope Ethereum people realize that YouTube videos are not the same thing as proper documentation

I know how the system works, I'm an academic myself.

If you really think that no-one employed by journals is actually doing any work, I'm not sure what to say. The reality is that editing and publishing are time consuming, and that if this work is not being doing by paid employees of journals, it's going to have to be done by someone else.

Paper selection is not really the issue. That is largely done by (unpaid) reviewers in any case. It's everything else that goes into running a journal that's potentially going to give rise to problems.

Again, I'm not saying that it's impossible for a group of academics to get together and run a journal entirely by themselves. I think it's less clear whether this model can scale to replacing all current traditional journals. It's very easy to confuse work that's easy with work that's quick. Yes, it's easy to set up a website with a few PDFs on it, and it's easy to forward papers to reviewers, and it's easy to come up with a LaTeX stylesheet for papers, etc. etc. But maintaining all of that stuff and keeping it running smoothly eats up a lot of time, even though there's nothing fundamentally difficult about it.
I take a walk and look at things to extrovert my attention (get myself out of my head/feelings). Bit of exercise helps as well (e.g. go for a run). After 30 minutes, I'm usually sweating and feeling much better.

Bitbucket's free private repos are the best backup solution for university stuff, which is super valuable. I'd rather use git than say Dropbox to version code, I don't want to share unsubmitted assignments and I want a backup - it's perfect.
It's polished but this is an app looking for a problem to solve. Unfortunately by the time the problem space is discovered and understood, someone else will have developed something slightly better and more focused.

It looks like you're making its application so broad that you're hurting your chances. Unless you pick one problem, that exists right now, to solve I'm suspecting this isn't going to be a hit.

> Or are you arguing that just because it's the evil CIA, it's fine to hack them and leak tons of personal info (which potentially puts lifes in danger)

If he isn't arguing that's a valid reason, allow me. Or are you arguing that the CIA is not "evil"?

For anyone outside the US, or anyone inside who can set blind patriotism aside, the CIA has spent its entire existence doing very bad things, up to and including including murder, torture, coups d'etat and other violence and atrocities against countless people and nations.

Given this role the CIA takes upon itself around the world - ruining or taking actual lives, using the excuse of theoretically saving lives - maybe leaking names (and AFAICS all this kid has done is access a Verizon email account) puts fewer people's lives in danger.
GitLab CE is the free edition, so the answer to your question is yes.
It is hard. The problem is that it's also hard to back out of a bad hire, so the cost of making a mistake is tremendously high.

I'm a very "right to work" (bullshit term I know) oriented person, in that I think neither companies nor their employees should be obligated to each other at all. Firing/quitting should be frictionless and easy. Instead, firing is wraught with legal problems such that you can't even fire an employee unless you can monetarily justify the cost of a lawsuit against their impact of being a negative influence, or they're part of some indiscriminate layoff procedure.

If I'm quitting or changing jobs, I'm harangued about it left and right by managers as to why or how this could happen.

Let's not pretend we owe each other anything and just move on like any other business transaction.

The problem is that, in a lot of cases, there's little QC on the third-party batteries, or even necessarily ways to validate the battery, since they're all just going to be using one of a handful of "copied" chips.

Then you get into fun with who's liable if a battery explodes - many of these vendors don't really have much concrete existence, and good luck with a "warranty".

Source: tried playing hard and fast with batteries a few times, including helping someone solder his own cells into a dead first-party battery.

The internal recruiter at GitHub gave me a couple sentences of feedback passed on from the interviewers when I was turned down after the final interview round.

That's completely the opposite of my experience.

It was only when I got completely fed up with it / gained the courage to well and truly fuck up the people that were bullying me... that they mostly stopped. I'd been learning martial arts for some years by then, which definitely helped.

Lenovo would only have to cover the repair if you had the incidental damage coverage - last I checked, they're pretty sticky about not covering things that aren't manufacturer defect unless you have it.
Both are. Common sense dictates that if you're moving millions around, you MUST have enough money to buy yourself some security at physical or digital level. I'm not saying CERN-level security, but at least SOME security standards should be fulfilled. If the bank doesn't care, then it should be punished IMHO.

Same goes for the criminal.No matter how lax the security precautions of the bank are, an individual is judged for his crime.

The problem with cybercrimes and digital-rights related material (piracy, etc.) is that punishments are usually disproportionately severe. I believe that the fault lies to lawyers who over-sensationalize these crimes and judges who are totally unable to understand the real vs possible damage. For example, a 15 year old hacker who found a 5-years old XSS and hacked (as in copied 15 MySQL databases) from a CIA/NSA/FBI website and post his IRC nick on the page to brag about on his friends vs a 35-year old spy who sold these info to some other country for huge profits. These are different situations but are most of the time treated equally by judges.
