Seems to me they pretty much all suck.

Talia Jane had some points, but was also whiny and defeatist.

Stoppelman and Yelp seem to have pretty much failed at HR and possibly business in general.

Jensen (author of this article) seems mostly interested in talking about how much more rich and badass he is than everyone in sight, and generally being an egomaniacal prick. And I notice that he has plenty of time to talk about how much he pays employees and his vacation house in Florida, but spent not one word on how much his investors have made. And I would not be even a little bit surprised if he's talking his own book. ie, they shorted Yelp right before he published this article.
You can use loose mode or the loose option in that case.
What is Trump supporting on trade? And if Cruz wins how quickly do millions of federal workers get put out of work? I sure an american depression from all the out of work federal employees wouldn't help the world poor either.
I envision all of this taking place in the next 10 years.

- twitter hasn't been profitable for the past decade.

- twitter can't turn around, neither can other unicorns.

- wheres the return???

- investors abandon

- twitter announces mass layoff

- Facebook purchases twitter

- Facebook faces same music shortly

- Decentralized Twitter appears!

- Facebook attempts to capture it...it failed!

- Decentralized Twitter uses No Ads, No Tracking.

- It is highly effective!

- Decentralized Facebook appears!

- Cryptoanarchy movement arises

- The biggest wealth equalizer in human history begins.

- Assassination and Weapons market emerges. Decentralized, trustless free for all markets free of law enforcement. Anyone can be touched for the right amount of the single most untraceable anonymous digital medium used to exchange goods and services.

- Governments slowly lose their grip to pockets of cryptoanarchial markets. Government services and jobs are replaced with network contracts executed with zero centralized decision making.

- Anarchy movement settles down as stability is introduced by a decentralized internet.
High Fidelity -- San Francisco, CA -- Fulltime, ONSITE but Work from Home friendly.

High Fidelity was created in 2013, our mission is to create a new kind of virtual reality platform.
Team High Fidelity has a deep legacy of expertise in software development, social entertainment, peer-based recognition systems, community development, and workforce mobilization.

We believe that both the hardware and the internet infrastructure are now available to give people around the world access to an interconnected Metaverse that will offer a broad range of capabilities for creativity, education, exploration, and play. And by using all of our computers together in an open shared network, we can simulate this space at a far larger scale than would be possible by any single company or centrally hosted system. By using a range of new hardware devices like the Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, Samsung Gear VR, Leap Motion, PrioVR, Sixsense, and depth cameras, the experience of exploring these worlds can be incredibly immersive and the interaction with others lifelike and emotional.

We are looking for software engineers with solid experience in C++ and Javascript to help us build the Metaverse. Openings can be viewed at http://highfidelity.com/jobs. To apply, email us your resume or LinkedIn profile. Sample code and links to things you’ve built are most welcome. hiring@highfidelity.io
I'll grant that - obviously the government failed to prevent the housing bubble - but I think the bubble and the crash were fundamentally driven by market forces.

And central planning was essential to the clean up afterwards.

I think that supports the idea that a mix of the two is best.
Ha Ha! Yes. I was thinking the same thing. My old college roomie had an old 8080 system (Cromemco??? I can't remember.. it was the pre-Apple II days...) and used to run that program and similar radio noise makers. I think there was some space game that used bus noise for weapon effects.
for me one of the best things in London is the weather, as it never gets too hot, It's sunny but not too much, and it doesn't rain as much as you would expect. But I have to say that I really hate too much sun and heat.

What does this mean (in laymen terms)?
For sites that let you make up both the question and the answer, Bruce Schneier has suggested having some fun with it [1] to make your conversations with support more amusing. Examples:

Q: The Penis shoots Seeds, and makes new Life to poison the Earth with a plague of men.

A: Go forth, and kill. Zardoz has spoken.

Q: What the hell is your fucking problem, sir?

A: This is completely inappropriate and I'd like to speak to your supervisor.

Q: I've been embezzling hundreds of thousands of dollars from my employer, and I don't care who knows it.

A: It's a good thing they're recording this call, because I'm going to have to report you.

While you don't have as much flexibility when you do not get to write the question, I'm sure there are still plenty of amusing answers you could pick.

This article hasn't arrived at a single point in the first 500 paragraphs, and the metaphor is starting to make me cringe. I give up.
Oh God Please - in terms of cost of living and quality of life, your mileage may vary, but for many people, you can't do any worse.
Wow, information is coming at an insane cost. Why do companies have to be so incredibly sneaky when trying to gather your digital information? There really needs to be laws put in place. Technology is growing at too fast a pace and we need laws in place to protect our privacy.
I'd love to know where all these "tech millionaires" are coming from, because there are only so many companies in the Valley, and they each only have a handful of top execs. Yet there are thousands upon thousands of $1MM+ houses and people are buying them left and right...
I'm not sure this is true anymore even in this case - with multicore processors, cache dependency, and pervasive virtualization, the speed of your program can be significantly affected by what else is running on the box. Remember that the x86 itself has a JIT on the chip, converting x86 machine code to whatever microcode the processor uses. When I was at Google, they provided special dedicated machines for benchmarking, with custom run-times that disabled a lot of the containerization/virtualization features, and there was still a lot of noise in benchmark times.
You might want to delete, and repost as a "Show HN:" article, e.g.:

Show HN: Keypirinha, a semantic launcher for keyboard ninjas

As that's the standard format here for "self-content" posts. Otherwise, (from the title as-is) people will think you're linking to an external article.
You should care about both, but if the company fails then your options won't be worth anything.

Software Engineer | True Link Financial | San Francisco, CA (onsite)

A YC company in 2013, True Link Financial is an SF-based financial services company that believes in quality financial services for all: from protecting grandma’s money from scammers to providing supplemental financial tools that support disabled Veterans.

85% of our work is in Rails, 10% is in Java, and about 5% is DevOps—AWS, multiple SSL & IPSec VPNs, encryption, security, etc.

Our technology suite is complex, geographically distributed, and must be both secure and robust to protect our customers, more so than your typical startup.

Did we mention that we built an IVR for customer service, and handle customer incoming customer requests via SMS, too?

If you’re a nice person who has worked on hairy, wacky production full-stack code before, let’s talk.

You should be someone who can make things better without being rude, judgmental or arrogant about it. Rockstars need not apply; session musicians only.

We hired a Rails engineer who gives frequent talks on diversity issues in tech.

We hired a stand-up comedian and mathematician who has been blowing out our UIs with React + Flux.

We’re migrating our deployment automation from Elastic Beanstalk + Opsworks to Ansible.

We do stuff.

Because of the stage of the company we unfortunately cannot consider candidates with minimal experience (e.g. recent dev bootcamp graduates). We need people that have professional experience working as an engineer. We are also only looking to make an in-house, full-time hire here in San Francisco and cannot support part-time, remote, or contract work at this time.

Email jobs@truelinkfinancial.com and we'll get back to you within 2 business days. Seriously.

20n | San Francisco | Full Time, ONSITE | http://20n.com | Genetic engineering, Machine learning, Data Mining, and Bioinformatics

Biology is severely under-utilized. 20n (YC W15) fixes that using software predictions to create cells that produce materials, pharmaceuticals, and other products. As our first demo, we created an organism that eats sugar and produces Paracetamol -- the active ingredient of Tylenol. This is the first biological/sustainable/eco-friendly means of making it.

20n has existing Fortune 500 customers with great incoming revenue. We are also backed by Khosla Ventures, YCombinator, and DARPA. Our core technology is a data mining and machine learning platform for biological data. We routinely distribute using Spark, write approximation algorithms for NP-complete problems, and push the software predictions to robots that build the microbes at lab-in-the-clouds. We are looking for experts in genetic engineering, machine learning, and algorithms, who want to engage in new ways to manipulate and use biology!

So today I had to implement the XDomainRequest API to support IE9 for one of our features. Yesterday I worked on a branch to upgrade our front end framework to a newer version. The day before that I was refactoring out our old API from an older module. Last week I was working through a specification document from our product team to implement a new interface.

Where, in any of my day-to-day job duties, am I going to need to find the kth permutation of a set of numbers? or clone a directed graph? If someone presented me with these questions in an interview, I would be tempted to leave.

And in reflecting on my job as a coder, I find that most of the work I do is janitorial; clean this up, add support for this, fix this, talk with product about this, break this up into smaller pieces... Never once have I had to implement a feature that would require these types of algorithms. Like 98% of my challenges are "this needs to work this way, but that needs to work that way, how can we make them work together?".

I'm not picking at educative.io per se, they're just a symptom. It just really sucks that there are some companies out that believe that if you can rattle off an algorithm, then you must be a good coder.
I'm not sure I've ever seen anything described as being '1x' faster, without any fractional part. It's such an uncommon usage, I really don't think you can categorically declare that '1x faster means twice as fast'.
You should try Lisbon - it's not quite there yet in the tech and startup scene, but it's getting there.

Awesome weather with nearby beach's, rich history and culture, really cheap when compared to London, it's way smaller and therefore more "cozy" - the only problem is the hills if you want to ride bikes.
I'll phrase my posts whatever way I see fit, thanks. Who is being rude here again? I saw your population growth rate, I also saw that you completely ignored what is in the quote you yourself highlighted, that the rich landowners were enclosing the common land, which was land that was not private before then, this being a relevant factor in why one could argue that their means of subsistance were taken from them and given to the already-powerful, if this is true so then is this a micro-level event of injustice or a relevant event for modern history and to capitalism itself? See, you are shallow. If you haven't, take a read https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enclosure then read a lot more, thats it. Give me a break on the "academia conspiracy" at least untill you've actually studied what is their view, they've been studying this shit since before, while it was happening so to just brush them off like this stupid since there's tons of hours of intellectual work and research that went into that and you'd like to dismiss it because you don't like the conclusion. I don't have enough time to go through this really, so whatever, believe in what you most like.
In a tweet, mayhaps.
This article was rather a blunder for me. I could not understand what this article was trying to point out. Very scrambled and not concise.
I will happily bet as much money as you want that this won't come to pass.

If for no other reason than no decentralized communication service has ever been as convenient as a centralized one. And convenience is King for communication.

(NB: the list ended at "- Decentralized Facebook appears!" when I made my comment.)
There's this DEFCON talk that (among other things) covers how an unshielded display cable can potentially leak screen contents over RF. Well worth a watch if you've got the time.

That's certainly true of the US in general. The standard narrative is that it was driven by "white flight," which in turn reduced investments in urban infrastructure, etc. Like many narratives, there's some truth in it but it doesn't really account for the fact that at least some Western European cities were also dirtier and more crime-ridden than today.

Giuliani was elected mayor in 1993, which did line up pretty well with New York getting cleaned up a lot. However, this was a more general trend even if it didn't apply everywhere (e.g. Detroit).
This really is a retelling of the advice 'Your passwords should not be something that could be guessed by knowing just a little bit about you.'

Why would you actually want to change the font of a label on a tab? Wouldn't that make your application inconsistent with the host platform?
In my opinion, Slack is still the best way to have work conversations. Using integrations & plugins right gets you the information you want quickly. And if there are conversations going on that you don't want to be a part of, just turn them off and only accept direct @ messages or something. Help it help you, don't just expect it to solve all of your problems. This is the same exact type of rant as people breaking up with Twitter or Facebook or anything really.
Your thought experiment was lazy and clearly illusionary. At most your comment has some explanatory power as to how the central governments and central banks of the world trick themselves into believing they can make intelligible decisions for billions.

Sheer hubris which costs millions of lives and needless poverty.
Worse is that these answers are stored often in plaintext because they aren't the users "password". I'd argue having them at all puts one at greater risk of being hacked.

What I'll never understand is why I can answer these questions with 64-128 characters (typically) but my password is limited to 16-32 characters.
maybe we learned how painful those were and solution our ways around to needing them? :)
Thanks for the excellent summary.

"The big problem here is that people run old SSLv2 servers with the same RSA keypairs as their TLS servers. So you can take messages you captured from the TLS servers, and, with some very clever message manipulation owing to an older Bardou paper, make them intelligible to SSLv2, and use the SSLv2 padding oracle to decrypt them."

That is a lesson worth remembering: something acquired in one context might become valuable in an attack in another context. I've seen this concept show up repeatedly hacking and security analysis. Clever how this attack applied it.

I've occasionally wondered if that could be turned into some mental framework or heuristics for generically applying it to various security analyses. Some systematic way, maybe semi-automated, of saying we've collected all these pieces of information for protocols, configs, etc. Now what does that automatically infer in terms of attacks or even connections that might lead to them?

Not sure that it's feasible in general case. I used it in prototype security scanners before the commercial ones showed up. Might be something to be had researching the concept further. (shrugs)

>Second of all, Qt apps are extremely well integrated on Windows, OSX and Linux alike.

I've never seen a QT app that I couldn't immediately tell apart from a native OS X/Cocoa app -- with the exception of Skype, which still doesn't look 100% native, but at least looks like it has a decent skin.
Groovy and testosterone-promoting, from a technical level, I guess.

But the bigger point, as someone pointed out in the comments below the original, is:

This dog is NOT playing with the dog robot. He is upset by it and is barking to make it back down. We better be kind to all our dogs and keep them around because they will probably be the only ones to detect those terminators.

The fact that the Google engineers don't instinctively realize this shows how (very) far they have to go toward understanding the robot-mammal divide.

Which reminds me, I really like this comment, also:

The future looks really creepy. That thing has as much regard for the dog as it does us.
I was not talking about those very purpose-specific widgets. I know they aren't standard components. I'm also not talking about theme- or OS-specific differences. I'm talking about the fact that few of the examples maintained a 100% consistent look and feel within their own theme. These are not nitpicky things. Maintaining visual consistency between applications is key to achieving usability. Here are some examples:

All of the buttons are non-standard, but the gridview headers and tab controls are standard: https://www.wxwidgets.org/about/screenshots/cars-hotsurf-msw...

Non-standard toolbar buttons, repositioner handles, and rendering and location for tool-window close boxes: https://www.wxwidgets.org/about/screenshots/audacity-msw.png

Skinned background and non-standard grouping panels, but standard buttons, menus, textboxes, etc: https://www.wxwidgets.org/about/screenshots/boinc.jpg

Non-standard coloring on buttons in toolbar: https://www.wxwidgets.org/about/screenshots/ginkgo-windows.j...

Link-buttons used for commands ("Run Benchmark") and reskinned, giganto elements mixed with standard, tiny elements: https://www.wxwidgets.org/about/screenshots/sysmark2012.jpg

An MDI hacked together out of grouping panels: https://www.wxwidgets.org/about/screenshots/trident-msw.jpg

There was absolutely no reason to reskin these buttons and textboxes. Skeuomorphism is bad design: https://www.wxwidgets.org/about/screenshots/audio-evolution-...

A hacked together Ribbon view out of a tab-view placed in the toolbar location, but they also include a separate toolbar section. Finally, that "calculate" button should follow its config elements, not precede them: https://www.wxwidgets.org/about/screenshots/coppercube-msw.j...
Agreed. The break-up analogy was ridiculously long-winded and overbearing. An exhausting read.
What if FB fired the VP? Pay him a nice severance, pay his legal fees but cut him off from being able to comply with the court order.

At that point the authorities are left holding the bag.
