FYI the DOJ/FBI does not utilize Lincoln Town Cars or Escalades for ops. You'll want to keep an eye out for Chevy Impala, Ford Crown Victoria, Chevy Suburban, and in rarer cases Dodge Charger (no spoiler) and GMC Denali. Typically they're darker colors, but the easiest indicator is a massive amount of tint on all windows. Remember, official vehicles will have the default state license plates without any sort of bumper stickers or license plate holders. In Maryland, unmarked LE vehicles typically use an older license plate instead of the newer design.
WhatsApp doesn't seem very secure:

As of December 1, 2015, WhatsApp has a score of 2 out of 7 points on the Electronic Frontier Foundation's secure messaging scorecard. It has received points for having communications encrypted in transit and having completed an independent security audit. It is missing points because communications are not encrypted with a key the provider doesn't have access to, users can't verify contacts' identities, past messages are not secure if the encryption keys are stolen, the code is not open to independent review, and the security design is not properly documented

Here's why I use Flask for every web project:

- It is both 'out of my way' and flexible enough to scale up. I.e. you can start with a 5 LOC hello world, but it still handles a large app with lots of components well (Blueprints).

- It doesn't force a data model / DB onto me - I can just plug in whatever I have (unlike Django).

- It doesn't even force a templating engine onto me - I always use mustache instead of jinja2 (it's extremely tiny, tidy and portable to any language, so it's much easier to port code to other devices / platforms).

- wanna just get started? `sudo pip install Flask && python ./hello.py` --> served on localhost:5000. I recently started a project[1] while in a meeting with someone complaining about some complex app we had - built a prototype with him together that could replace the entire thing and solves problems we had in 2h. Having a foolproof starting point without any configuration and then being able to build up from there is essential.

Empirical evidence. Most people complaining about the "new reform" don't even know it's been around for ~25 years nor what it's really about. Try to ask someone who complained about this reform to write some words like "maitre" or "paraitre", I can almost guarantee you they won't use the circonflexe.

Almost all of us got jobs, eventually (in 6 months), out of every cohort...
...but my bootcamp was one of the best ones.

Unlike most of my cohort, I mostly relied on networking/HN to find jobs - most folks just apply via normal channels. I had a high in-person interview percentage from that, but I ultimately ended up getting my fulltime gig off Stack Overflow Careers.

The contract I landed via NYC.rb before that was a shitshow.
No better proof of the intellectual bankruptcy than the left can be found in the constant bashing of Ayn Rand -- and the companion ignoring of her philosophy - Objectivism. Or the book Atlas Shrugged, which is a 1,000 page logical argument of all the different ways that leftism is evil.

The left can't stand the risk of people actually reading the book before metaphorically burning it, and so they bash Rand and ignore Objectivism.

The reality is, if you read Atlas Shrugged, and you're a thinking being, you will no longer be a leftist afterwards.

Alas, now the Left wants to silence any dissent- calling it "hate speech" and on this site, literally making people who think independently invisible (if they aren't hellbanned.)

What a shame. What happened to tolerance? What happened to embracing facts, logic and reason?

well yeah, once more households have more income, it just means everyone can pay more and prices go up. Sellers of homes mostly have to buy again anyway. A notable portion of all the second-income in each household literally just pays for developers and financiers to get rich and otherwise accomplishes nothing.
I came out as a solid mid-level fullstack dev, but mainly due to my experience and side-projects.

I'm very happy to see a new narrative, but there have been so many of these articles over the decades where someone announces they have found the real reason for easter island's history. Would be really helpful in these articles if they would have a large sidebar with photos of all the different people who were heralded as the researcher that found the real reason, a brief description of the claim, and the year the claim was released.
It may not be arbitrary, but if so it's buried deep in the data.

I've turned down candidates who had impressive technical resumes, who had worked in startups that sold, who had been hired on as consultants at various places, etc, because they were unable to solve simple algorithms in a simple manner, and their code was atrocious. Does this mean they're "bad developers"? No. If we were a consulting firm or a startup they might well be worth it; where the important thing is getting code out the door quickly, and to have something that works, even if it's not easily maintainable. But I was hiring for a position that required someone who would keep solutions simple and maintainable ('craftsmanship' rather than productivity, if you will. Note that the former does not necessarily preclude the latter, but it's the trait that was necessary, and was lacking).

Google optimizes for people with strong algorithmic knowledge. It's debatable whether they need everyone to have that, but certainly, many shops don't. Again, I've hired people with no formal CS background, because most of my job's problems don't require you to have deep algorithmic knowledge (the ones that do we can have others address, or work together on).

We know that people can fail one technical interview, while being radiant in another, and the reality is that what we're looking for, and what others are looking for, are often different. That creates a lot of variance in the data when we compare them.

It's not that specific. It's everywhere. I see it all the time in programming terminology.

There are technical terms that annoy me when I first hear them. It appears people are trying to inflate their worth by using unnecessarily specific or complicated terms. Then on some random night when I'm bored I'll familiarize myself with the term and all its' nuances and from that point forward it's more efficient to use the formerly-annoying-and-seemingly-high-and-mighty term to communicate exactly what I mean in a single word or phrase.

That's just how language works. But like anything, some folks will latch onto anything to inflate what they bring to the table by over-complicating things.

Thankfully the divining rod for weeding these people out is often as simple as asking them two to three questions on the topic to discern if they're leveraging their vocabulary or hiding behind it.
The customer service stuff is certainly bad, but I find the data collection stuff appalling. More and more retailers think it's ok to ask for and store personal info under the guise of "social networking". Hidden unsubscribe options and "public by default" profiles (for a retail store!) are just evil.
Your problem is with Google, not Yahoo...
That may be stated too strongly, but the argument is in a statically typed language you go to all the trouble to provide the compiler with sufficient amounts of information, but then don't leverage that in your editor.

E.g. if you call a statically resolved function, your IDE should be able to take you to the function's definition.

The little secret of Lisp is that you can use it pretty much as an imperative language, even though it also enables functional programming. The main barrier is that Lisp is taught as a functional programming language, and many believe that this is the only way you should use it.
Huh. I saw a police escorted (and I mean, they cleared the street of other vehicles and pedestrians and moved alone escorted) line of cars (black sedans, black SUVs, black vans) heading south on 6th in SF today at ~9:55 am. Still curious what it was/is.

There a good video someone captured of it on Twitter[1]. Though her post is timestamped at 4:36pm, and the weather kinda looks more like it did at around 4.

I have no idea if it's the same one, of course, but how many days do police-escorted motorcades happen in a metropolis?

Despite what others are saying here I think take-home tests are a great idea. What is a terrible idea however is requiring that a candidate complete your take-home test, that you wrote and will administer. It is simply not reasonable to expect a candidate to complete such an exam for every company he applies to, oftentimes before he even talks to a human being and usually before he has a face-to-face or a phone interview with an engineer. There simply aren't enough hours in the day, even if you're unemployed.

And there aren't, to my knowledge, any really good and widely-used sites that a prospective job-seeker could use to establish his skills, which any random company likely will look at and accept as canon. And so we're all in a bit of a bind.

It's a bit sad to see "real" distributions have shrunk to 2. In a way, you can say that's more of a case of these growing while everyone else did not (see: Slackware), and that it's a net positive in terms of consistency, but it might also indicate a retreat from experimental approaches. "Different" distributions like Gentoo failed to capitalize on early momentum, and there is now a general expectation that all * nix systems should look like RH or Debian.

It is in fact possible to get full Google Now functionality in a Google Apps domain. I've had it working for a long while.

Go to the Google Apps Admin Console (https://admin.google.com/AdminHome).

Navigate to Apps > Additional Google Services

You'll see a gray bar at the top of the screen ("Filter: Top featured services"). Click the "X"
on the top right to disable that filter.

Scroll down to "Web History" and select "On for everyone."

Each user may then need to also enable Web History for his or her own account (https://www.google.com/settings/accounthistory/search).

No, it shouldn't be that hard, but, yes, that will work.

I assume you're talking about distinct job openings, rather than spamming me multiple times about a single opening.

For me, it depends on my current level of interest in changing jobs.

If I'm not looking at all, then I only want to hear about really awesome positions, probably batched into a single daily email. (Daily so that an awesome position doesn't get filled before I can respond.)

If I'm passively looking, probably still once daily, but the filtering criteria are looser.

If I'm actively looking, probably an immediate email for each opening, and with relatively loose matching criteria.

They owe a duty only to shareholders.

Because Freedom Markets(tm), booyah!

Society can bumble along just fine without corporations. Corporations serve society.

Take away society, with its culture, laws, rules, regulations, courts, people, economy, markets, capital, etc, there can be no corporations.

The Shareholder Fallacy
http://www.salon.com/2012/04/04/the_shareholder_fallacy/

Historically, corporations were understood to be responsible to a complex web of constituencies, including employees, communities, society at large, suppliers and shareholders. But in the era of deregulation, the interests of shareholders began to trump all the others. How can we get corporations to recognize their responsibilities beyond this narrow focus? It begins in remembering that the philosophy of putting shareholder profits over all else is a matter of ideology which is not grounded in American law or tradition. In fact, it is no more than a dangerous fad.

The Myth of Profit Maximizing

“It is literally – literally – malfeasance for a corporation not to do everything it legally can to maximize its profits. That’s a corporation’s duty to its shareholders.”

Since this sentiment is so familiar, it may come as a surprise that it is factually incorrect: In reality, there is nothing in any U.S. statute, federal or state, that requires corporations to maximize their profits. More surprising still is that, in this instance, the untruth was not uttered as propaganda by a corporate lobbyist but presented as a fact of life by one of the leading lights of the Democratic Party’s progressive wing, Sen. Al Franken. Considering its source, Franken’s statement says less about the nature of a U.S. business corporation’s legal obligations – about which it simply misses the boat – than it does about the point to which laissez-faire ideology has wormed its way into the American mind.
It's not correct?

I felt like I owed the world a response to your question even though the first sentence made no sense to me whatsoever. I guess that "opinionated" makes no less sense as a characterization of an artifact than "ambitious" or "stupid" does, so I'm going to have to learn to live with it, but it's one of those things like "performant" or "impactful" that will make me cringe if I ever catch myself saying it. Anyway, thanks for the response, my comrade-in-downvotes.
Can you share some advantages you perceive?
Take your ideas and put them in a spreadsheet with the following columns (factors):

The Idea, Execution Time, Likelihood of Completion, Earning Potential, Satisfaction

Give each of the columns a weighting from 1 - 5, 5 being the most important to you and 1 being the least. It helps if you do not have the same importance value to different factors.

Give each idea a value for each of the columns from 1 to 10, 10 being the best, and 1 being the worst.
