Fun fact: I have a friend who worked for Skype in Prague. He said teams in Prague have nothing to do with desktop clients.
And even then, the Windows version is shit too so we should just be switching to a different service.

9 Selfish Reasons We're Working to Be More Gender Diverse
> Is this sufficient evidence for you?

Sufficient if we just consider birds, of course. But what do we discuss here? It started with the

"There are plenty of species which are well documented to have monogamous relationships"

claim and all I see is birds and birds.

Edit: thanks for finally answering below my question "how much in percents is that "plenty of species"?" Your answer is "90% of birds." The rest of discussion would have been unnecessary, especially quoting some three specific birds as the answer. I also agree with yours "the average sexual behaviors across all species doesn't give you much insight."
> Yes, there are far better alternatives out there, so if we could stop using skype and switch to something else, would be a great move here.

What? There are secure text-only clients, but voice/video/group video? Where is the more secure version of those? Or is this going to go down the road of "set up your own VoIP service" again?

People always say there are tons of alternatives to Skype... Where are these alternatives and why aren't they popular?

You definitely should, I stopped checking out the offering completely because of the missing pricing.

Just as though experiment to see what we are feeling; "not bad intend" do you feel we should take away from secret pricing?
Not really. Full disk encryption using Pointsec/other commercial offerings, or as you typically do it on Linux with LUKS+dmcrypt, asks for the passphrase before the OS has loaded any Firewire drivers. In which case a fully shut-down computer is not vulnerable to this attack, ie. you have protection against evil maids, thieves, FBI etc.

But with Bitlocker, it only requires a password at Windows login, and by then all the Firewire etc. drivers are up and running. So you have no protection for computers that are stolen/seized by law enforcement.
The front-end is strong with this one. Stripe is always on their A-game. very nice.
What it boils down to is no-one is spending their own money, they have a bottomless pit from the poor taxpayer.
They definitely need to figure out something to mitigate the public information bit. Aside from (presumably) a cost associated with it, there isn't anything stopping someone from going to the DMV and getting the info they need about a target.

Further, they also really need to change the HTTP method for the endpoints that change state.

Nothing's stopping someone from putting up an image tag on a well-trafficked website (or buying display ads on a network) with the src set as the endpoint that turns on the AC. Turns into a real-world DoS when the battery is dead.
I believe (some?) reputation management companies already do similar things.

'There's this historic recontexualizing of animals as being "just like us."'

I don't know. In my opinion, is not that "they are like us" but that "we are one of them". We are animals. In this context, to pretend to separate animal behavior from human behavior is what is "just wrong and leads to bad outcomes".

The singular behaviors of humans are not more singular that other animals. Why to focus in "being horny all the time" and not in eating the mate after copulation?. This is a political decision too, a kind of human chauvinism.

Just to be clear, I don't say that there is nothing special about humans, but we have to see in the context of what we are, another animal that have evolved in a curious way. In my opinion, this category separation is the wrong way to think about the subject.

You could compare the clerkly offerings https://www.clerky.com/offerings to the currently beta stripe offerings https://stripe.com/atlas/faq#What-documents-will-be-created

Both systems are ways to get you bootstrapped as quickly as possible, but you should always lawyer up to verify the rest. The clerkly offerings go a bit deeper into employment/contracts, and Stripe could actually knock those out too by adding just a few more template forms over the next few months.

Attempts from both sides of the argument are politicized and misguided. There's no need to argue from the standpoint that "animals do it/ don't do it."

It's trivial with skype. You just start two instances. On Windows, you need to use a third-party tool, on Linux it's as easy as setting HOME to a different folder for the second instance.

* A current U.S. telephone number

* Standing instructions to pay amounts from a foreign (meaning non U.S.) account to an account maintained in the United States

* A current power of attorney or signatory authority granted to a person with a U.S. address

* A U.S. "in-care-of" or "hold mail" address that is the sole address with respect to the account holder

* Special note: Others affected by FATCA include

The whole purpose of Stripe is to make basic tools for starting an internet business more broadly available and without barriers. The core of our strategy is to eliminate gatekeepers and secret clubs. We’re openly available in 18 countries today (you can see the complete list stripe.com/global) and hundreds of thousands of businesses use Stripe after openly signing up.

Because businesses’ livelihoods and revenue are at stake, we start new products and countries in an invite-only beta so that we can fully test things and fine-tune the details before rolling them out more broadly. We don’t think it’d be responsible to try to maximize the initial product experience at the expense of doing’s what’s best for the businesses who’ll build on it. So with Atlas (and in Mexico), we’re starting in invite-only mode with the goal of expanding access (and making it openly available!) as soon as we can.

I'm sorry we weren't able to get you signed up sooner, but we’d love to have you on board with the beta in Mexico. If you drop me an email (tmf@stripe.com) we’ll send you an invite.
Depends on how you define accuracy. Your thinking in terms of the test for the no fly list is X accurate, but that does not mean the no fly list it's self has X accuracy. List A, contains every person on the planet so it's comprehensive, but nobody would call that an accurate no fly list. List B contains one name of an terrorist who has made specific credible and recent threats, it is very accurate.
Clarification: this is a vulnerability in the Internet of Things component attached to the car. The car itself fine, and the vulnerability is only in devices with the silly and expensive IoT upgrade package.
In 2006 I worked briefly on an air-traffic control system (ERAM) that was eventually delivered 5 years late and $400M over budget. I was a small cog in a giant government-contract-software machine, but it was easy to see the project was going to be a disaster.

There are some pretty basic strategies to make building "large" software easier. All of them were attempted, but in an entirely broken way:

- Break the architecture down into smaller components that can be tested independently.

- Break the functionality down into smaller features that can be released independently.

- Develop automated tests at the system level (i.e. integration tests, not unit tests).

The software took 2-4 minutes to launch in development, and very few of us knew how to meaningfully test it. This meant that any change that compiled (and passed code review) would ship.

Oh yeah - and the system used binary structures in shared memory to communicate across processes, which were running code written in two entirely different languages.

This is interesting - I've been looking for the ultimate lightweight waterproof and warm jacket. So far I've settled on:

http://www.patagonia.com/us/product/mens-insulated-torrentsh...

My criteria:

- I don't want any bulk, puffy jackets are unwieldy to carry

- I need it to be reasonably waterproof - say I don't get wet for 15-20 minutes in moderate rain. This rules out most softshells.

- I need it to be warm, just waterproof doesn't cut it in New England weather. This rules out most rain jackets.

- If it'll last long or has a good warranty, I can tolerate up to 300-400 bucks

- I need it in US extra small (34-36" chest)

- I need it to be breathable, otherwise I get sweaty when I'm riding a bike for transit

What I don't like about the patagonia one is mostly the latter issue about breathability. Theoretically it's breathable, and definitely more so than other jackets I've owned, but it can't keep up. I end up widening the wrist holes and zipping down a little, which isn't the worst, but wind + sweat gets REALLY cold after a while. What I really need is pit zips, I think. It also /could/ be warmer but I think that would ruin the versatility of the jacket - I don't want it to be unusable in spring and fall.

Looking at this, it seems very close. Seems thin and lightweight (couldn't find exact measures). They have the pit zips. Removable hood is great. Front visor seems to extend pretty far. The insulation hopefully is good, though not proven like primaloft or goose down. No x-small for men, plus the already loose ski-style fit means this is probably going to not fit small / skinny guys like me. How it deals with washing and being wet is a question. Warranty is a question. Quality of stitching / how the material holds up is another one.

This could be great, or not, too early to tell IMHO. But definitely a contender!

I agree that the type of content is important. I personally experience reading as similar to a campfire story, hearing someone else describe a situation. My brain just isn't good at filling in the details of a scene. I am able to control the voice though. Reading textbooks became way more fun once I started reading them as documentaries narrated by Morgan Freeman! I have found the key is to read no faster than a person could speak the words, otherwise I just hear my own voice talking rapidly. I would guess this would be due to a lack of familiarity with the "templates" for the other voices talking quickly.

It feels like trying to set up Slackware in the early 90s. After a few hours I get tired and drop it again.

As someone who's been doing mostly maintenance recently, it's pretty clear why:

1) reading a pile of code and trying to figure out how it works and being constrained by someone else's solutions is considerably less fun for most developers than writing something new and making decisions about how the system will be put together

2) It's much harder to point to what you did or talk up your accomplishments. Particularly to management.
Huh. I always thought n! grew faster than c^n which would be even worse than exponential. Maybe enough cancels out to make it simpler than it appears.
