A friend of mine works in IT for district doing this. They have under a dozen IT staff serving five k-12 schools. In the past he worked in a much larger distinct with a Dell based laptop program.

One of the reasons they love the Chrome system rather than a more traditional install (be it Linux or Windows), is when some clueless student comes in saying: "it broken," the staff can wipe the device clean in a second. The student can log back into the Google services to bring their account back, and they minimize undue downtime to repair software problems created by the students.

Could you get something similar going under an alternative distribution, sure, but with this they're is no labor/cost overhead associated with maintaining the server systems and software.
How does this work. Will banks be using the same API structure in general, or is it more sort of an advice type of thing.

Also what type of operations are intended to be supported (read/write?)
1. I was just stating my opinion. If somebody wants to go to an incompetent insurance broker, or do dangerous drugs, or jump off a cliff, I think that should be their right since those decisions don't significantly affect anyone else. Again, just my opinion on an ethical matter, a reasonable person could disagree.

2. My understanding is that there are few government-mandated certification systems because they tend to gradually evolve towards licensure, due to political pressure from producer groups. There are many private certification systems that work quite well. The Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval is a private certification system for household products. Stores such as Target certify the value of the products that they sell in order to guard their own reputation. I'm hesitant to mention this because I don't know much about it, but I believe accountants are also certified rather than licensed.
I didn't at all get any sense from his letter that he wanted to help the homeless, but that as long as he didn't ever have to actually see or interact with people down on their luck, he'd be happy.

If all the homeless in San Francisco mysteriously "disappeared" one day, would he care? That may not be a fair question as we can't truly answer it, but I'd wager "no."
Well, not that I want to steal your thunder or anything (I don't think I can: no matter how many times you write this, it will be interesting) but how about just start here?

What SDR did you use?

Did you reverse the hardware or the software on the endpoints to figure out how to configure the SDR?

How did you get started with this?

What other tooling did you have?
It is unfortunate that the public doesn't know much about insurance or how it's regulated. While what Zenefits did was wrong in several cases, there are some important things to understand:
- This macro program didn't have anything to do with whether an agent would/could pass an insurance exam. That's separate and in order for someone to practice, they need to pass the test.
- If this training program were so critical to understanding and effectively selling insurance, why wouldn't all state adopt it?
- The unfortunate fact is that the details you must study and know to pass the test have very little do with how you will sell insurance. The study packets, courses etc. do not prepare you in any way to sell these products better. Actually a lot of the test talks about annuities and things completely unrelated to medical insurance.
- The licensing issues largely relate to non-resident licenses, not the actual resident license where the test is required to pass. It's a common practice in brokerages across the US to get licensed when business is closed or about to be closed in the different state.
- If you want a comparable, lawyers obviously have to pass the bar to practice. But they can actually practice legal advice before ever passing the bar as long as they are working under a licensed attorney. This is how many pro-bono cases are worked by students in law school etc.
No it is worse with ZFS because it doesn't have a fsck tool. If you have a bit flip in the ZFS metadata you have to export and re-import your whole pool to get it to a writable state again.

Well, the OP said "sentenced to death" specifically, which is why I mentioned the death penalty. But ok. Either way I still don't think I agree, though frankly I'm just going off gut feeling and don't have any numbers. But think about how much medical device software is out there, plus industrial control equipment, airplanes and other vehicles, military stuff, etc. I know on HN the image of "programmer" is "person taking VC money to write a photo sharing app" but there's a lot of other work out there.

Though for what it's worth this is less a "programmers are awesome and important!" argument than it is a "don't get your view of lawyers from television shows" argument -- if the OP had gone with doctors or something I wouldn't have said anything.

If you're in the UK and want a banking API (including payments and transfers), I'm building http://teller.io/. It's been in private beta about 2.5 months and access will be opening more broadly soon. I couldn't wait for banks to get themselves into gear so I reverse engineered all of their mobile apps, took their private APIs and expose a single unified API through Teller.

It's easy to mistake causation with regard to Apple's decisions. Did 64-bit became popular because it was better ? Or did 64-bit became popular because Apple chose it and it became a marketing term ?

>> be the first to bet on powerful GPUs

Sure they are the first to bet on expensive stuff - they have the most margin and sales, a more profitable ecosystem - so it's easier to justify the risk of more complex coding(by an app developer), etc.

>> I hear they have been designing their own GPU for many years now

From what i hear, they use the best of Imagination , while locking it out of the industry. But i would be happy to learn otherwise.

And i'm not saying Apple didn't create an impressive chip, but creating impressive chips is much easier than sustaining a good business for them.

Also ,the real power of the chip is for marketing - one critical tool in building luxury brands is a story about unique creation ,creating stuff that nobody else can do ,etc. So that's a very valuable story.

> A reasonable attitude for client-side code, perhaps, ('oh it blew up, I'll reopen the app and try again/rerun the script'), but I think not so reasonable for server-side code..

This seems like a response to something that wasn't my comment. I even went out of my way to state what I thought might be obvious: "pay as much attention as required to make things work".

Handling errors is a given in this thread. The question was how to represent that in the structure of the program.

> There's element of personal preference here.

I agree that there's some of that, but if you accept that the main purpose of programming language syntax is to ease reading, writing, and understanding programs, then preference only matters to the extent you can know it, and most of us can assume that we do not know the preferences of the people reading and trying to understand our code. Given that, we must try to use somewhat more objective measures.

When reading code, is it more useful to get a broad overview of the algorithm, or more useful to dive into every possible branch? The answer to this won't always be the same, but for a given type of code it will likely lean heavily toward either breadth-first or toward depth-first readings, which correspond fairly closely to whether error handling is done locally at the site of the error. Further, I think most programs will benefit more from a breadth-first organization, such that errors are better handled (syntactically) in a way that doesn't interrupt the process of understanding what the code is supposed to do.

Go has a lot of things I like, but the difficulty of laying out a clear "do this, then this, then this, then that" is not one. Either you end up with "do this (or handle the error from trying to do that by doing this other thing), then this (unless there's an error here, in which case...)", or you abuse panic, or explicitly ignore errors. If you're in this situation, then the first is the best of a bad lot, but unless you're doing some very finicky, low-level code, it would be nicer to be able to handle errors outside of the purposeful flow of the application.

I agree that having a distinction between different kinds of errors is nice, but errors of type (1) are not the purpose of your code. They're problems that prevent your code from fulfilling its purpose. That's a whole different conversation, though. :/
Assuming they would accept it and stay in it. As I said, that would work great for the short term homeless, but for many (not all) of the long term homeless, they have mental issues strong enough that they would end up homeless again.

This is the country where you can be prosecuted for possessing porn featuring a 'tiger' which is actually a man in a tiger suit. [0]

This is also the country where you can be prosecuted for possessing porn that is sent to you unsolicited via Whatsapp. [1]

This is also the country where you can be convicted for tweeting a bad joke, lose your job in the process, and have to go to one of the highest courts in the land to get it overturned [2]

The 2008 'extreme porn' law is one of a host of extremely fucking terrifying laws that allow the authorities to essentially destroy your life on a whim (see also: Communications Act 2003, Racial and Religious Hatred Act 2006). It doesn't matter if the evidence isn't credible, they can drag you through the courts and ruin your reputation without ever getting a conviction.

Combine this with one of the most effective mass surveillance programs in the world, you realise we have already built a ready-made turnkey authoritarian dictatorship.

The really scary part is that nobody seems to give a shit.

She gives a possible reason in her blog:

Also, the all lower-case thing in her blog seems a bit overly pretentious. I know she use normal capitalisation in her "resume", but it's still a bit odd that someone who wants a marketing job is writing in that way.

> So using a kernel module for the closed source NVIDIA driver for Linux is a GPL violation?

Yes. Your understanding isn't correct.

With NVIDIA, there's this complicated dance where you download source code from nVidia for the kernel module, then compile it on your own machine and use it -- you aren't violating copyright because you don't distribute the kernel module that you compiled for yourself on your own machine.

But that kernel module does indeed violate GPLv2, and you can't distribute it legally, and neither could Canonical or nVidia (which is why they do the dance above instead).
In my heart, I know. As a user, it's just frustrating to see so much awesome technology artificially limited by silly licenses on both sides of this debate.

I've been using this since the private beta to enrich my eCommerce crawlers with product identifiers not found on the content of an eCommerce product page, but found in the product image itself. Imagine a part number or UPC displayed on a product box, but nowhere in the HTML content of the product page. Using the Google CV OCR feature I can extract meaningful product data from an image to compliment my existing crawl data. It works great.

I do not think we would make a problem if people did a paid technical interview somewhere else, it doesn't make sense to me. On the other hand it is hard to write an exception for this, but merge requests are welcome.

Before you deleted the snarky nonsense, I was going to reply with this:

If I were you I'd build a MVP with this API (or IBM Watson's API) and see how it goes. If your product/service starts to take off, you could start looking into implementing your own machine learning / computer vision algorithm, hoping one day it gets good enough to replace whatever API you bootstrapped the product/service with.
They effectively sell user information by way of allowing their customers to target individuals for a price. They aren't directly selling the data itself but they are selling a service that is an extension of that data. I think the semantics are negligible. They make money selling [ads based on] user data.
Genuine question.

I have found it hard to work with and manage teams in India and Nepal. There is an ingrained idea that your boss is always correct and have found it hard to create teams that openly discuss ideas and are willing to reject thoughts and propose their own. It was a workforce of yes men/women. Has this changed or are their ways to overcome this?
Google has a lot to lose in this debate though. If government encroachment on security/privacy online becomes enough to worry people, they'll be less willing to share data. Less data means less effective advertising and lower rates, killing Google's business model.
No, it isn't common, and yes, I consider it racist.

Not only haven't I heard of it, but you can use DDG or Google to get an idea for yourself. The first returns 20 matches, the second 150. Of them, most are used in an entirely different context, like "The less ghetto Save Mart in Porterville" and "Communists in Terezín had a stronger ideological background than others in the ghetto, save for their political counterparts."

There are a total of 5 hits which use the phrase in the form you mention, but they are not quite the same. For examples:

"Why must we have to do ghetto save backups so often now..." - http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/739853-tomb-raider-definitive...

"The only problem with this game is a pretty ghetto save system" - https://forums.penny-arcade.com/discussion/87228/lets-give-t...

The closest is likely:

"Use a "ghetto save" -- copy your post into Notepad" - https://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopic.php?f=64&t=2108299...

From this you can conclude that it isn't a common term.

Further analysis shows that "ghetto" is more often used to indicate low-quality, as in the 'pretty ghetto save system' above, or in the following:

"1. Need to compress the piston back fully, perhaps my ghetto method to gain clearance didn't yield enough. In retrospect yes it probably would have been much better idea to compress the piston, then press pedal to seat them vs my ghetto save some time method." - http://www.audizine.com/forum/showthread.php/426244-DIY-ed-m...!

A quick review of http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=ghetto shows this is the case, as the top definition includes:

> 4. (adj.) jury-rigged, improvised, or home-made (usually with extremely cheap or sub-standard components), yet still deserving of an odd sense of respect from ghetto dwellers and non-ghetto dwellers alike

Given the obvious encoding of racial, religious, and economic class prejudice in the term 'ghetto', I would also strongly advise against using it.

For myself, I call this my "JIC" backup, my paranoia backup, or my belt-and-suspenders backup.
Isnt it possible that apple wants to indirectly harm google, by raising the issue for returning information to users? Believing that corporations can be "good" or "evil" is real bad advice at best, cheap marketing speak at worse. I think tech people should be immune to such messaging.
NetNORAD: Troubleshooting networks via end-to-end probing
In general, people are not going to get rid of systems. SimpliSafe is $15 a month after equipment. For some, it's the only security system they can afford, or it's as much as they want to spend on it (disclaimer: me).

So one way you can help their security is

1) Don't publicize easy to follow step-by-step ways of how to do this. There's a big difference between disclosing a security issue and giving non-technical people an easy way to bypass a security system. The fact that a security weakness is known and publicized doesn't help xx% of thieves who don't have the resources to implement it. It does help the aware customer to make changes to their security and demand a fix from the vendor.

2) Responsibly disclose to Simplisafe like the linked post did is best. If they don't respond, then post what you were able to do in a similar manner. Going through ioactive would be a great idea as they're familiar with this process.

Probably rhymes with "btrfs balance".

I'v had the misfortune of using btrfs in production with a few hundred machines on Ubuntu 14.04. It's one of the most finicky filesystems I've ever used. It's probably better in newer kernels, but if you have a lot of churn it requires constant care and feeding and tends to cause kernel softlockups fairly commonly.

Academic institutions are paid by the credit or by the year. Of course they will insist on receiving a minimum amount of money before giving out the precious certification.
