For me personally - the benefits from meditation were obvious but I think that was because I'm pretty neurotic and was in a really stressful life situation.

It was like ibuprofen for my suffering mind. Not that it helped immediately - but after a prolonged practice I noticed that suddenly my mind was not in psychic pain and I could just take the situation at hand without unnecessary added stress.

So, I suppose the perceived results might depend on the life situation at hand (ambient stress factors, so to speak).
The guy who wrote the two most important 4th amendment case opinions over the last thirty years (both in favor of privacy rights, both by 5:4 votes), and who had the longest record of cracking down on laws that were being stretched to cover uses never imagined (which by definition, the Writs law is being abused) just died.

It's not good timing....

Does ist support scan to ftp?

I find the Linux/sane scanner drivers unbarable. I use a network scanner that uploads the pdfs to an ftp server, that syncs to dropbox. Works like a charm. Just need a tool to annotate an tag those pdfs.
How, the phone owner, the state agency, granted permission, the actual users died. Who'd have the basis to sue under what claims?

If you thought you had a claim I guess you could sue to block the order, but that's up to the courts to decide and that would take precedence over an eula.
The studies are already supposed to be published - the problem is that there has been no enforcement. Until there is some real penalty for not publishing then nothing will change.

Having said this if the publication(s) are not well done then this can be almost as bad as not publishing. No data is often better than bad data.

It's hard to know that this is a problem when you have 5% growth for a few months and think you've gotten something that works only to see it slowly trickle to flat growth over time that may end up paying your bills in 10 years from now.

This is a problem almost every project faces after launch (getting through the trough of despair) - finding enough customers/users almost always takes years of hard graft. Perhaps it is amplified a lot by joining YC though.
The evidence cited for cruz is a little weird; he's come out against NSA surveillance, but he's also for forcing Apple to comply with the court order to backdoor the phone. He is a bit of a constitutional nerd, though, so I suspect he's more similar to Obama in this respect than you might think considering how different they are in most respects. I'd put him on the moderate side, or at least as a wild card.

Also, I would put Clinton in the rabidly anti-privacy camp if just for this stance she took after San Bernadino: http://www.nbcnews.com/tech/security/could-hillary-clinton-s.... She clearly has no desire for privacy from governments except through legal constraints. Furthermore, her understanding of technology as demonstrated by stances on her email servers, on encryption, and on video games, is outweighed by her desire to either (ab)use technology regardless, or attempt to intervene in it. Not great for an executive, which you would hope would be conservative (slow to move) OR knowledgeable OR defer to a strong cabinet.
Appreciate it!

So, the show/hide feature seems to be the one really interesting thing to me. We're both vimmers and it sounds like we have similar workflows. What's killing me right now, is that coming from Debian I always had 5 desktops setup on Alt+1-5. I've got the same thing on Command+1-5 now, but if I force Terminal.app to fullscreen in OSX in the Desktop 1 spot, it's no longer available via Alt+1, since it spins up it's own, new desktop called 'Terminal'. It kills me.

In your post, are you saying that you can have a fullscreen iTerm2 window transposable to any of your desktops with the show/hide hotkey? Because this would push me over the fence.

BTW, I dig the CSS triangle inversions you're using for your ribbon up top.
This is a court case. What is under this discussion is not what is reasonable, but what is the law and how it applies to this case. That seems to come down to whether or not is is considered an "undue burden" on Apple to break security on this device, and that's it.

If you want the law to change, I would hope that the court sides with the FBI, as that will provide far more ammunition to anyone wanting to change the law than ruling in favor of Apple.
For those of us not well-versed in these sorts of things, what were the two cases?

At risk of sounding overly cynical, Java-orientated article from the editor of Java Magazine implies JavaScript's popularity will wane, making 2nd placed Java it's heir apparent?

Seems a slightly predictable suggestion, given the context.
Pascal was surely mainstream in the 80's and 90's, with Turbo Pascal being the most famous dialect, to the point Pascal vendors ignored the ISO Extended Pascal favoring compatibility with Turbo Pascal instead.

For those of us into it, C wasn't never a thing neither we could get the famous rant from Kernighan about the language, as no serious Pascal developer would use the bare bones original ISO standard, just like most C devs never used pure K&R C back then.
> they fear this could be reverse engineered by baddies in order to make the phones of others' less secure

But isn't the procedure already pretty straightforward and well known?

1) Make a build of iOS which has the pin timeout feature disabled.

2) Sign that with Apple's private key.

3) Flash onto the iPhone.

That's more or less it, right?

What's keeping the general public safe isn't some sort of secret or obscure procedure. The general public's safety is in Apple keeping that private key private. And the FBI isn't asking for their private key, they're just asking that Apple use it in private, just like they normally do when they push out normal updates.

Am I missing something?

Except that this still relates to an older version of the technology.. in the Dune series, Leto bred the Duncan Idaho ghola over many generations because although some persons were invisible from prescience, he could still see their footprints.. but the footprints of the ghola faded from sight. Apple has been working towards making it impossible to extract the keys, and I'm sure that in crypto war 3.1 they will work further towards this, since it appears that the Secure Enclave may still have some weaknesses (that a firmware update doesn't wipe the keys)

Whether the regulatory mechanism allows them to create something proof against the regulators, now thats going to be an interesting battle. They are still a US company after all.
I can't find the article where i read the numbers (it was on the Guardian news site) but Uber's reported loss for 2015 was in the billions, however, that included income also in the billions. The loss as others here have noted comes from growth and investment. If you segment their operations they appear to be profitable in some regions.

Just a pedantic comment, Object Pascal was actually developed by Apple with feedback from Niklaus Wirth as their main systems programming language (in the early days) and later adopted by Borland for Turbo Pascal 5.5 on MS-DOS.
Now I'm wondering whether Zenefits was even a technology startup or more of a hustler operation which went online.

Excerpt:

Zenefits’ technology was frustratingly limited. The software is built around a central dashboard and lets small businesses onboard new employees, generate health insurance quotes, and manage 401(k) plans and other benefits. But while this system looked slick and did a fine job with small tasks, much of the important work on the backend was done manually.

“The back office is really heavy in terms of bodies,” one former Zenefits employee said. “It’s really archaic. It just seems automatic to the customer.”

This kind of work is standard practice in the insurance brokerage business, but it’s notable for Zenefits, which purports to be an “automated” solution. The lack of true automation behind the scenes led to numerous problems. With one customer, Plated, a food delivery startup in New York, mistakes by Zenefits staff in entering payroll deduction information caused a string of erroneous paychecks to be issued, according to one former employee and an online comment by Plated co-founder Nick Taranto. Zenefits is “not connected well enough with payroll providers,” Taranto wrote, “so we’re having to cut lots of manual checks.”

The first public indication that something was amiss at Zenefits came last summer, when BuzzFeed News reported that customers were complaining of software glitches and seemingly careless errors.

Our threat-models and business-models don't have the benefit of being law. They must rise and fall according to the realities of the real world that they contend with.

A digital signature does not inherently mean much. It just (pseudo-)guarantees that a holder of a copy of the private key signed the data. Taking that to mean anything else, such as that a signed update was freely designed by Apple with only pure intentions, or even that Apple is the only holder of the private key, is nothing but our own wishful thinking. This court order has hopefully shattered our naivete. The real-world now says that you can't trust that a third-party's private keys are not controlled by governments. It was extremely unrealistic for Apple to include the government as an adversary in their threat-model, claim to protect against it, but then leave this opening.

>Second, assisting which government? Any? All? Some? What's the metric?

When it comes to questions of legality, the simple answer is that the company has to abide by the laws of all of the countries that it operates in. If they don't want to, or if they can't because two countries have conflicting legal demands, they have no choice but to leave that country. This cannot be any other way. See my other responses in this thread for a more detailed discussion of this "but what if China did this" issue, if that's the argument that you're alluding to here.

When it comes to questions of only morality, it's up to the individual people in a company to advocate for the right course of action. Only their own conscience, and the free judgments of their peers, can guide them.

Even a lower entry: sit down, put five minutes on a timer, start counting your breaths up to ten. one - out, two - in and so one. Once at ten, start from one. The odd breath out functions as a check sum. If five minutes seems easy, try 10.

If you notice you've lost count, it's ok, just start from one.

If you notice you are lost in your thoughts, it's ok, just try to gently move focus back to counting and breathing. Do not "give extra energy on purpose" to thoughts that pop into your mind, just aknowledge them.

This is, IMO, is the core of the meditation routine - training on introspective perception and association of observation of personal thoughts with calmness.

The focusing of breathing is a hack on autonomic nervous system as I understand it. It's the only bodily function that one can control that backfeeds into the brain, and calming the breath can be used to calm the brain as well.

I'm not an expert, I've just read a few books that I've not double checked - if this is somehow wrong please correct me.

I doubt these CA can write insurance contracts themselves without being a regulated insurance company so they must legally have an external insurance. I would be curious to know how much they are paying on this contract.

The insurance bit is forced selling of an unwanted product. I am sure that 99% of certificate buyers do not need more insurance from their certificate provider than they need it from their hosting company, or the developers of Apache and OpenSSL.
The article states that this occurred after Apple turned over all information about the phone that resided in iCloud. Which means that the government already has access to whatever data it wanted in the phone that was iCloud synced, and is mis-representing it's case as Apple stonewalling. (while Apple is downplaying it's willingness to cooperate for PR reasons).

I disagree. There are bugs and then there are bugs. If a web server messes up static paths and there is no reaction from the maintainers in 4 years other than putting the prio on minor, I have serious trouble trusting the code quality of a project. But so far I haven't really found something that would replace nginx, especially when it comes to serving wsgi apps. Hence my question "is that really the best we got?".
I guess my point is that the terminal has very, very, very little influence as compared to the ACTUAL shell. Yes, there are power users. I don't see them actually get anything done faster.

Driving someone in a car for money requires licensing. Cutting someone's hair for money requires a license. Pouring a beer for money requires a license. Estimating the value of a house for money requires a license. Making a quilt for money requires a license.

And many, many, many more. By comparison, advising on health insurance actually kinda makes sense.

Kylo held that the Government could not use infrared scanners to track individuals inside of their house without a warrant, while Jones held that the government could not use GPS trackers on cars, even in public, because it had to trespass to install the GPS tracker.

As is the case with most mandatory licensing it is a combination of risk mitigation by the state and barriers to entry by the incumbents. Existing insurance brokers would like to maintain their turf so most that have a license are in favor of the requirements and the state can say it did the right things when something goes wrong and divert the blame to "cheaters" that bypassed the regulatory requirements.

In an ideal world everyone would do the right thing, in the real world some level of bureaucracy and regulation is a necessity.

There is much more than meditation, there are many excercises you can do to feel better, to "connect with your soul".

It is a matter of practice, same as for sport. If you go only one time at gym, you will not get so much results.

It would be ideal to meditate twice a day, 20 minutes. If you can move your energy from one chackra to another it is even better. You can also think of chackras as your gland system, it doesn't matter if it sounds crazy for you we have 7 whirls of energy in our (physical) body, if it makes you feel good, it is ok.

In my personal experience I found that meditation is healthy, so I recommend it. However keep in mind that there is much more than meditation, which is just the first step.

He says it works, but I say that at a pay rate of 1.5-5.0c/word, you'd have to be crazy to do it. Take this with a grain of salt; I'm probably a bit biased because the pay per "word" for software development is so much higher.

Have you ever peeked into how payroll, healthcare, and insurance systems work? This is a genuine question, I'm not trolling. The reason I'm asking is because you can't really have automation and APIs for systems that have literally zero automation to begin with. The entire industry is a combination of fax machines shuttling paper back and forth between the different players. It doesn't matter how much software you throw at this problem if you're just a broker because from the perspective of the other players you're just another fax machine. That is the level of electronic and computer sophistication of the healthcare insurance industry, fax machines.

ADP, Trinet, etc. are just as manual and full of error prone human processes. It's all just heroic human effort on all sides. If anything Zenefits has shown the incumbents and everyone else in the space that you can indeed provide a software solution that integrates well with human processes and in the long run make things much more automated and efficient.
The guide to improving profit through better software pricing
This is again someone who maybe can do something which can be done as gig easily online. This simply is not an option for most people. It is like saying, as a coder, that I can do a few $1000 a week so basic income at all is not needed as there are enough programming gigs. That is true (for now) but in these cases (and other brain jobs like legal advice, accounting etc) we are referring to a tiny piece of humanity; for now, and imho into the far future, the rest has no hope in hell of doing it.

While I agree that gig jobs can work fine for some, it is naive to say that because of it we would not need radically different solutions to replace other jobs.

It is also naive to say it is not a race to the bottom as hat is already happening across the board with gigs anyway.
