'Networking' as an activity is not the same as developing a professional network. We all develop networks as we go through our careers. You can't help it. But you can nurture it and maintain it so that when you need to find a new gig, you have people who know you that you can contact. As you work with new people and meet them in the course of doing your job, add them to your LinkedIn and Facebook networks.

Networking as an activity involves contacting the people you know, then if necessary, people they know, and so on. Networking is what you do when you're looking for a new gig.

Attending 'networking events' for people looking for work, you're going to have a low yield, because everyone there is looking for work. You may want to add them to your network for later, but it's not likely you'll find a job right away through that activity.

In business, I've landed first-time contracts with people that I initially met 20 years ago. I added them to my network (by hanging on to their business card and checking in with them every couple of years before LinnkedIn came along). So really, you need to establish and nurture your career-facing network for the long haul. That is the way to stay employed over the years.

Right, that was my point. I actually did include code CDN and fonts in the original list, but regardless I think google is an awesome company but as a community it is just downright irresponsible to fork this level of control to an entity.

While I consider Snowden a proper hero it is almost a certainty that this could happen to a "friendly" entity like google. In that, the NSA likely has some top programmers who could get a job there and compromise something, learn enough info to find a vuln, or pass data out. This is of course making the massive assumption that they aren't already cooperating at a system level either voluntarily or involuntarily.

As you can see, as search deteriorates google is motivated to (in my opinion benevelontly) use any means neccessary to continue to fund their larger goals of a connected and automated techno-utopia. However, they will be tempted to leverage what amounts to almost literally 50% of the worlds thoughts to build systems to make short term profit while pressing forward.

Just a few that immeadiately come to mind:

* using their network to control an entire alt coin ecosystem

* using data trends to trade on global markets

* start a competing business and deindex or penalize a competitor.

* build skynet (kind of joke)

So basically, those scenarios are fairly suboptimal and I could certainly imagine that several thousand genius with knowledge of googles systems AND the worlds data could likely be profitable quickly.
For publicly-shipped software sure, but we're not talking about that. We're talking about what is effectively a test build on a device that would be in Apple's possession. Different kettle of fish, isn't it?

Edit: Another developer here thinks there's probably a developer soft-switch to disable the 10-strikes feature anyway; if that's true then it's even more trivial?

I could type a long list of best productivity tools that are free, starting with: using a free browser to search for free answers on SO hence saving devs a ton of time. Perhaps you were thinking on some 'very specialized tools' where the paid version is better? Which would be explained by the nature of niche markets and not necessarily efficiency.
I think it's fairly important to note that they're NOT currently using the microservice for the 2FA, and they're NOT using bcrypt right now.

The blog post states they're "working towards" these changes, they're not currently in place. It's fairly unlikely that they're using the same secret key as the one they found on the server, but it's fair to assume that they are still using salted SHA-2 for your passwords and the same 2FA setup right now.

They likely won't roll out the major changes until they roll out the "new and improved" Linode dashboard they're coming up with.
If you don't require privileged elevation, then I'm a fan of just using an email address and send "magic links" + persistent (but expiring) sessions.

For mobile apps, I think using SMS and One-Time Passwords is sufficient as well.

You can also use a delegated auth system put in place by OAuth v2, or something like Google Accounts, Twitter, etc. Those services do get pushback, as not every uses Gmail (or likes to give any run of the mill app access to Google account data).
I would be interested to see what the numbers look like for the average person with equivalent education and of equivalent age to a House rep.

For example, http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/explainer/20... claims that as of 2009 the age of US House members averaged 57. I doubt they've gotten younger on average since.

I'm having trouble finding these numbers for our current congress, but in 2009-10, out of 435 House reps 168 had law degrees, 83 had a masters degree, 23 had a PhD, 17 had a medical degree. 32 had nothing beyond an associate's degree; that leaves 109 with just bachelor's degrees. All numbers according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Members_of_the_111th_United_St...

Your typical person with an advanced degree in their late 50s probably has some retirement savings. And note that the cited article says some of the numbers (but not all!) include the values of the House members homes. It's really not that hard to hit $800k if you count home equity and retirement savings, assuming you have any reasonable amounts of either...

"The fact that djbdns doesn't use BIND code is not really relevant."

It is to me.

It's true that in this case it's not what mitigates this vulnerability. Although it has certainly mitigated many others over the years and, sadly, probably will do so a few more times in the future. There's just no getting rid of the BIND legacy.

Correct me if I am wrong, but using a local dnscache and the fact that dnscache does not implement ENDS0 should be enough to mitigate this one.

I have been running a local tinydns root.zone and dnscache for many years. Really like the software.
And there'd be nothing wrong with that. From their perspective, these are powers that will help them do their job of keeping us safe. I often disagree with their proposals, but I don't question their motives.

You see it as them taking advantage of fearful people. They see it as people getting a dose of realism when disaster strikes. It's no different with any perennial political issue. People forget about problems until some event reminds them. Activists use this opening of awareness to push for change.
Currently there are no data that indicate that starring into close screen contributes to myopia alone. In fact if that hypothesis of lack of blue in indoor lighting that presumably makes it much harder for eye to focus is true, then starring under indoor lighting to the screen could be even protective as the screen has more blue light than a typical indoor light.

In light of that (pun intended) one may need to be careful with twilight-like applications for smartphone that suppose to help with sleep by switching off blue pixels. It could be that while doing so they cause extra risk for myopia.

The author finds it stupid that the jury was allowed to ask questions to the author of a forensics tool about the technicalities and inner workings of the forensics tool, like "Wouldn't it be easier if you just jailbroke the phone?"

As a defendant, you do have a constitutional right to be judged by a jury of your peers. As a professional providing a highly specialized service to a court, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to have non-peers (laymen) ask technical questions about the inner workings of a tool that, for all intents and purposes, is basically magic levers and knobs.

Edit: I don't mean to imply that juries shouldn't question forensic evidence gathering methods (far from it actually), but I can see where the author finds the practice comical at best, and dangerous at worst.

Windows really doesn't have a firewall with features comparable to other operating systems?

I'm not arguing that bypassing the WSJ paywall causes damage to WSJ - I'm personally not sure that it does. What I'm arguing for is that if for some reason WSJ needed to prove in court that a paywall-bypassing tool causes them damage, they would use the it-deprived-us-of-potential-revenue argument that I outlined, rather than the it-forced-us-to-waste-electricity argument. You're right that the it-deprived-us-of-potential-revenue argument might not work in this case, in the sense that it is very possible that there does not exist a person who would have paid for a WSJ subscription but, because of the paywall-bypassing tool, did not.
What does one even use that much FPGA for? Any organization that could afford that could probably afford making an ASIC of comparable or better performance.

Plausible. However, they already have admitted to NSA intercepts[0](which inconveniently show how completely ineffective mass surveillance is).

What's more plausible is that this is a CYA operation. The FBI fucked up, and let San Bernardino's Health Department change the password on a health department issued device. They got locked out, and fucked up the chain of custody.

No, you can go specific and say that 100% of software patents are crap but that is not true for every industry. Plus, until someone doesn't own a patent,he is an anti patent and the day he finds something worth patentable, he go to a court to protect it and yeah to defend it too when someone else infringes it. Then, he never thinks that let him use. There is difference in approach you know. Until you don't own one, you are always like this.

A patent, in essence, provides an inventor incentive for disclosing his invention. Nobody, otherwise, in this money centric world would be spending billions in R&D to invent something if there is no incentive in that.

Saying that 100% patents are crap isn't a good thing, I believe. You can once give it another stance; by not looking at it through software lens alone.

Try once.
Points taken.

On your first point, I don't think the law needs to wait on everyone to change their minds and hearts. But enough lawmakers and voters have to change their minds and hearts for the systemic problems to go away.

On the second point, you're probably right. But something about the way he says it seems critical of fictional character behaviors.

Okay, there are other aspects to Google's business beside information retrieval and search, tho the point that the access is mostly unauthorized is valid. Although the damage done by this is to some extent offset by Google's status essentially as a public utility: it universally provides a social good, "search", and the tax we pay is advertising. Your frustration for the "little guys" is mostly en pointe, since the damage done is rendered then mostly to competitors, rather than to customers, and the argument, true or no, that Google's search is "lightyears" ahead of other possible offerings, to some extent offsets the damage to consumers due to loss of competition through the possibly anti-competitive practices you highlight. So it seems the balance of good is in the favor of consumers of "search". I think this is the main force, rather than any "structural obstacles" to competition, which is the cause of the persistence of the status quo in this market. The thing about this which no one seems to see is that, since everyone is taking information dishonestly, there's a huge opportunity to actually "bring it into the light", do it honestly, and strike some kind of deals with content creators.
I also loved it, and I'm not a big fan of parallax. But this story, for the first time, made me see how it could be kind of useful. The parallax sets the mood for each section...which is great for a story this long. Yes, you could do the same by breaking up the sections with a large header image...but given the tone of the story -- that is, of trying to describe a bizarro digital world -- the parallax worked incredibly well. Both on iPad and on the desktop.
If those sites don't want spiders, they can just specify that in robots.txt, which Google honors, right?

From the point of view of the law, that might not matter, but when there's a standardized way to make clear to bots that they're not welcome and you didn't bother to implement it, you'll look pretty silly if you complain.
Most of the software patents are crap. There is a patent on loading animation. Amazon has on one click payement. Apple has on slide lock. There is so much bullshit things in software patents. Then comes Pharma. Other than that, most of the industry file quality patents.
This kind of made sense with React as even with this release they were struggling to decide if `context` should be public at all, what shape a "renderable" component should have, etc. Since they've finally decided on these issues with this release, they wouldn't have been able to release it as another v0.x with a straight face.
I'm very pleased to discover that there are four but I think we need many, many more if we are to change how our government works.

Working in/with technology everyday, we are accustomed to wanting to find technical solutions to all of our problems. Unfortunately, not every problem can be solved with a technical solution. If we are to succeed in changing things, we need people who understand technology in positions of leadership in the government.

It's far more likely we're about to witness a significant new housing bubble courtesy of the Fed moving to negative interest rates. The tech bust is a joke compared to the size of the housing market, there's no "spreading" that can possibly go on from the tiny unicorn bubble to housing that is going to matter. Housing is $30 trillion, the unicorn bubble is the size of one Facebook (1% the size).

Secure chips that store private keys generally keep them on a part of the silicon die that can't be analyzed like the rest of the chip.
