Or how about reasons why not to apply, if there are any? I imagine it's stressful and time-consuming for many people, for example. (Though of course that comes with starting any company.)
I understand your apprehension because I feel the same way, to some degree. But I'm excited about the new types of tech that I can already imagine using this API. There are so many fascinating ideas that come to mind, and I'm usually not that creative of a person.

I think Google understands how big this could be (well, why else do they do anything I suppose?). I guess you'd just have to put faith in them. I imagine those that do will build some amazing projects from this.
My microwave has a horrid interface; instead of buttons for setting the time to cook, it has a digital dial with a bizare nonlinear sensitivity. Fortunately it has a "add 30s" button, as the digital dial is so hard to use that I press the "add 30s" button 10 times for something that needs 5 minutes to cook.
To be clear: I don't think you need to disclose any vulnerabilities. Just talk about the process you used to reverse the protocol.
According to the OpenWRT wiki:

The BCM4352 (AC/AN chip) is not supported, which is part of the reason to get one of these routers. Broadcom router chips are usually MIPS based, and also heavy on the binary blobs (which may allow for dd-wrt support).

Edit: In fact, I can't find any image that supports this BCM4352 on dd-wrt either:

They may be "do no evil" on privacy, but apple heavily pushes vendor lock in and basically does everything they can to keep you from being able to easily switch to a different vendor.

Google seems easier to switch from, they seem less concerned with vendor lock in (don't get me wrong though, they still have some vendor lock in. Just less than apple IMO).

I think in this case it is "choose your evil" and for a lot of people, for good reason, privacy is going to win.
Google is scary good at releasing scary technology in a friendly box.
Checking for a certification should be just as easy as checking for a license. The brokers with certifications are damn sure going to let you know they have one!

The main reason I oppose licensure is that producer groups (e.g. insurance brokers) will exert political pressure to add more and more irrelevant requirements in order to obtain a license. Take barbering for example: in many states in order to become a barber, you need to complete hundreds of hours of theoretical instruction in the anatomy of the face and head, the elementary chemistry of sterilization, the histology of hair, etc. Just to cut hair!

In addition, the professional activities that require a license tend to gradually expand due to political pressure. Doctors spend a lot of time doing things that could be performed by a skilled technician, and the result is unnecessarily expensive medical care, and some people not having access to care at all.
ZIRP != "free capital". Debt still has to be amortized & secured, and eventually your bankers or cashflow will cut you off, which means there is still opportunity cost.

right, but running bcrypt on a server, why run a pure javascript version? Why not the C-compiled version?

So to me the logic behind a pure js version is one that can run on the client too. It actually sounds interesting, as it could improve password security! But it's just too slow.

In my case, I ended up sha512'ing the password client-side, and use that as the "password" sent to the server. If there were a native KDF for all browser's i'd use that instead.
Cybernetic Third Arm Makes Drummers Even More Annoying
Calling the cops really does no good depending on where you live. I had a false alarm a few years back while I was away from home. Three hours later and about an hour after I had returned home, an officer came by to check on the alarm.

No, I had never had any false alarms prior to this one. I live in a moderately sized suburb, not Detroit.
It doesn't seem to me that whether there can be shown to be a causal relationship between this data and future performance would have any bearing on whether the relationship has predictive power.

Apple has its own share of evil of course (user lock-in etc.), but for one thing, when their CEO says "we won't hand your data" he knows that some day there will be another Snowden and he, the CEO of Apple, better make sure what he says today is actually true.
They don't own the copyright on the patches, so it wouldn't exactly be effective.
> They effectively sell user information by way of allowing their customers to target individuals for a price.

That's not selling user information in the same way that Ford doesn't sell automobile factories.

> They aren't directly selling the data itself

Nor are they indirectly selling the data. No one else gets the data.

> they are selling a service that is an extension of that data.

They are using the data to produce a service that they are selling, in the same way that Ford uses a factory to make a car. No one else gets the data, in the same way that no one else gets the factory from Ford.

> I think the semantics are negligible.

I think there is a substantive difference between transferring data to third parties and over whom neither the person the data describes nor Google exercises control and retaining the data internally and using it to provide a service to third parties. And I think that is a critical difference when it comes to privacy.

I mean, you erase the distinction between a armed security guard (who sells a service which involves a firearm) and an arms dealer (who sells firearms).
I honestly don't think Apple gave one second's thought about Google when they decided to take a stand on this issue.

We've built a system that allows us to translate difficult to read research abstracts and convert them into 4 to 8 bullet point descriptions that are readable by the common person.

It's like Blinkist, but for complex research.

Our backend consists of a ton of med school students, PhD's, and researchers.

I myself had an autoimmune disorder for 10 years, well I still have it, but I've been in remission for the last 2 years. Making sense of the research out there is a tall order without an organic chemistry background. When I was first diagnosed, I ended up spending hours trying to read research I barely understood, but that was relative child's play for a PhD to clarify.

It's called Ulcerative colitis and has no known cure. Some of the most intriguing research that I'd wish I had been cognizant of and had a way to read is this article(Http://bit.ly/fodmapfree) on FODMAPS (Fermentable Oligosaccharides, Disaccharides, Monosaccharides, and Polyols Saccharrides) and their impact on those with Irritable Bowel Syndrome.

Had I known, I would have experimented with something like it to see outcomes. Keep in mind, there's no such thing as an FDA approved diet.
They don't do the picking, the store does for them. I'm pretty sure they're using similar methods to whatever the online ordering for in store pickup uses so it's probably not being pulled from shelves in most cases either. Google most definitely is not sending their own people into the store to pick things up.
Of course the industry response is muted; this is the chilling effect that we were all worried about. Most Big Co's don't want to put themselves in opposition to an organization as powerful and well-funded as the US intelligence apparatus. I'm sure they are all on Apple's side, but are less willing to speak out about it because they fear the consequences.

If you're cynical, you might think that this case is all about setting precedent and trying to scare one of the FBI's biggest opponents on the topic of data security (Cook). We know they have other options for cracking the phone in question (decapping, side channels, etc.). They want legal precedent for installing backdoors, and they want to scare Apple and other companies out of providing security features. No wonder those companies are hesitant to speak up.
You can cherry-pick from his letter, but it's obvious that his first concern is about safety:

>Your argument rests on the assumption that all homeless populations across the world are similar.

Certainly, being homeless in Iceland would be different that being homeless in Liberia. I was just sharing an example of a situation where a person had their views about the homeless changed. In this case it was the mayor of Medicine Hat.
Great response. I read the one page presentation and looked at the source files and it feels like one of the hundreds of skeleton repos for React. Why is this different, why should we use this one instead of another?

The whole point is to make it easy to work with this full stack framework, so, that means to have excellent docs and StackOverflow support.
>This just made me realise that Apple is a true "do no evil" company and not Google, for all its technology powress and fancy marketing. A sad realisation as I have been using Google products for almost everything-- they pitch up everything under the F/OSS banner and it's so tempting.

There's nothing evil about wanting to provide contextual information and to do that they need the context. Its just the nature of the service they provide.

7% might not be worth it if you've sold a couple companies and are a mortal lock for funding for your next company, but otherwise, this is the weakest objection to YC. The value you get just from having the YC label more than offsets the 7%.

(I'm sensitive to this because it used to be my big objection to YC, because 7% is a large amount of equity to give up for the money they're giving you, maybe even today.)

Those are all things someone would have to do, or (more likely) used a management system to do it automatically, while this company does it for a $60 lifetime license. It simplifies things and thus makes it cheaper. It seems like this company originally did what you're suggesting with a server and thin clients, but transitioned to Chromium because that's what the schools want.
You certainly can - you can try it out yourself by rebooting the phone while connected to USB with Home button pressed - it will reboot to the Recovery mode that (since iTunes 12 AFAIR) allows you to choose between update and restore. Should you choose 'update', it will keep your data and rewrite the system partition, all without asking for your PIN.

And that $167 million is just services specifically for the homeless. It does not included other city services which are heavily used by the homeless such as medical, housing, police, sanitation, etc - probably well over another $100 million - or the extensive private, non-profit and church spending.

What Apple is doing is protecting its business model. It is a good thing what Apple is doing, but they are doing it only because it is aligned with its business model.
Apple is a for-profit organization. Same as Google. Same as Facebook.
Ah, thanks for that information! I'll read into that.
Gotta love how some are using this as a marketing tool for Apple! For quite some time after Snowden we know well that Microsoft and Google at least believe the same as Apple - you can wax judgmental over strong or weak, loud or muted but fact of the matter is it is quite well known through their actions that both MS and Google are in opposition to government back doors and sweeping collection of information.

But yeah all that be damned - let us see how quickly we can paint the other teams in gray. Let's also ignore that Google's CEO basically agreed with Apple's and if someone brings it up let's dilute it - not strong enough words and it's on Twitter!!

Oh and while we are at it let's jump to the "you're the product" bandwagon as well especially when it isn't relevant to $subject at all. Clearly since Google and MS sell your data (whatever that means) they don't care about your privacy right? I guess Google forgot about violating your privacy if you are using ChromeOS - https://www.chromium.org/chromium-os/chromiumos-design-docs/... ?

Microsoft also forgot to violate the privacy expectations of their Irish customers I guess - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Corporation_v._Unite... ?

And yes let's also imply that since Google and MS can read your email - getting that to the government is no big deal for them! It's the same thing right - government's just gotta sign up for Bing Ads and Google Ads?
Some microwave ovens have pretty hostile user interfaces.

The microwave oven I've got doesn't let you use the number keys to specify the power level. Each press of the power level button decrements the power level by 10%, and the first press doesn't count. So to cook something at 30%, you need to press the power level button 8 times before typing in the cooking time.
I wrote once document detection library. It was supposed to recognize corners of a printout in a photo. Is that close?

It's both. Many likely have some pre-existing mental condition, maybe completely latent or or maybe just early in onset. Awful life conditions combined with substance abuse then lead to a feedback loop exacerbating the mental illness, substance abuse, and shitty choices.
When I was at SEGA I was the Producer for the Menacer. It's was a clone of "gun" that Nintendo had called the Super Scope. I had to develop 6 games in 6 months with the hardware also being designed at the same time.

We were near the end, made our schedule, when I was called into a meeting. My schedule had been cut by 2 weeks. I ran out of the meeting and called 4 software development companies, the 2 hardware teams. We pulled together and finished with the new deadline.

The day I signed the paperwork for release, I was told the reason my schedule was cut was because a senior VP was going on vacation and he wanted to take the product with him to show his grandkids. He didn't want to show them something that might have bugs...
That's awful if true. Especially as a direct quote. So much for being inclusive.
"had some traumatic event and fell into alcoholism and drugs"

This phrase is doing a lot of work for your argument -- the implication is that alcohol and drugs are like open manholes, and people are just falling in.

I believe in treating addiction. I also believe in removing stigmas associated with drug crimes. I think we should help people. But we shouldn't all assume that drugs cause poverty, 100% of the time. Poverty sometimes causes drug use. Hopelessness and despair (economically, socially) lead to chemical escapism.

My point is that not every drug addict is a victim of a disease which keeps him from contributing to society. People use drugs for a lot of reasons.

I am a Republican/Libertarian, and I take a small amount of offense to the accusation that we "just don't want to help." On the contrary, I believe the current strategies -- house them, feed them, give them clean needles -- is doing more harm than good. It makes the lifestyle sustainable without giving them any hope for something better.

A better way forward:
- Stop charging drug users with felonies that prevent them from getting jobs in the future
- Legalize almost all drugs, except for those that put the public at harm by causing psychosis.
- More mental health services, including committing more people. We're failing schizophrenics when we don't force them into treatment.
- Grow the economy. We need more jobs for the lower rung of the labor force. The first step towards despair is often unemployment.
- If we're going tax dollars, let's create public jobs for people. I don't mind if subsidized housing is part of the package.
- Stop creating homeless havens. It's counterproductive. You can't allow people to defecate on the street in broad daylight and call it compassion. When you do that, people travel to that neighborhood from all over because it's a place where they won't be hassled. It becomes impossible to run a small business there, families leave, the neighborhood dies.

I'm not saying we should fill the jails with the homeless. But why not provide public restrooms, and then arrest and/or commit those who are using the sidewalk? If we need someone to maintain the restrooms -- pay the homeless.
Apple does that/is moving into that area too. They use your own hardware instead of their servers to do it.
He could probably murder an Apple employee or two until it's done.
it just kind of has the wrong connotations, because it's used rigorously in mathematics

And the original use was in Philology[0]. Just because a word has two different meanings in two different contexts doesn't means it's wrong. I'm certainly glad the linguists didn't get up in arms when the mathematicians gave the 'wrong connotation' to isomorphism.

That's a little presumptuous. Violating? On one hand we have some opinions from people, some lawyers, some not, saying they think this could be a violation.

On the other, there's equal opinions that this (or the way the did this) is -not- a violation.

So I don't think it's particularly fair to reach for your pitchfork, either.

Gluster is not for the faint of heart, but as far as distributed filesystems go it's probably the easiest to set up and deal with.

We've been using it in production for a few years now and having a single namespace that can basically grow ad infinitum has been pretty neat.

If you want a trouble free Gluster experience stay away from MANY small files and replicated volumes.
