"The latest draft makes clear that the government will take a pragmatic approach, and no company will be required to remove encryption of their own services if it is not technically feasible."

Aren't the recent demands on Apple "technically feasible"?
Come to Switzerland. Four to five story apartment blocks everywhere; quiet, green, safe, underground parking everywhere, gorgeous and huge flats at reasonable prices, and despite having a pretty high population density it feels way less crowded than my old terrace in the UK.
So if I shouldn't be tagging my builds as "latest" what should I tell jenkins to tag them as?

Another valuable takeaway is that forward secrecy is well worth having. In this case, any previously collected trove of sessions that used DHE/ECDHE is not de-cryptable by using DROWN.

Bloom Technologies | http://bloom.life | Eindhoven (Netherlands), Genk (Belgium) | Full time | ONSITE with up to 4 days/week REMOTE

===== Who we are =====

We're an 8-person startup driven to improve healthy living and pregnancy outcome using smart wearable devices. We have our headquarters in San Francisco, as well as offices in both Belgium and in the Netherlands where most of our engineering staff is based.

We're currently developing a wearable sensor that pregnant women wear on their belly and which they can use to monitor maternal and fetal health (contractions, heart-rate, fetal kicks, etc.) using their smartphone. We can use this data to predict labor onset and high-risk pregnancies. A Beta version of our product is already available in an early access program in the US, and we are getting very positive feedback from both our customers and medical experts.

===== Who we are looking for =====

We are closing an investment round and are looking for talented people with experience and interest in:

* Mobile development (iOS (Swift) or/and Android).

* Signal processing or/and bio-engineering.

* Embedded systems or/and low-level C programming.

Having some knowledge in machine learning and Python web development is a plus. We are still a small engineering team, so we're looking for someone versatile and quick to pick up new skills. Because we’re a startup with people in different continents, we need people who can be independent and flexible, but also offer flexibility concerning your work schedule, location, and holidays.

===== Interested? =====

Email me at raphael@bloom.life !

Thanks,
Raphael.

This case does not bode well for the CA case.

The general consensus amongst lawyers is that this situation, the unlocking scenario, will require either congress or the supreme court to weigh in. Congress is out to lunch for the next year or so. But to get a ruling from the supreme court one needs a controversy. Ideally, that would be two identical cases with different interpretations by different appellate courts. This judge has taken the first step. I suspect the CA judge will go the opposite way, starting the progress up the system towards the supremes.
Can you elaborate your disagreement?
The overlooked discussion is that universities are supposed to make money by selling quality education. Their goal shouldn't be to make money by risking money.

Perhaps the lower return simply reflects the less aggressive nature of their portfolio. But ironically while waiting in the lobby of a prominent VC I met a college endowment fund manager who was currently using machine learning to trade options. I believe part of the endowment is now traded using his system (not 100% sure about this).

When I asked why his approach won't suffer the same fate as LTCM, an algorithm-based options-trading system run by Noble-prize winner Robin Scholes, he claimed that his approach relied on less leverage. But he didn't address the point on how his system would have predicted the Asian flu and Russian default that ended LTCM. I guess it would have been harmful but not fatal.

What's acceptable risk for a Wall Street fund isn't necessarily appropriate for an endowment fund regardless of the upside.

Edinburgh here - we've got the hiking, spectacular views (and then some), islands, aquatic beasties, skiing 2 hours away. Even some nice big bridges.

You may have a point about the weather though! ;-)

[NB Obviously I forgot to mention the history, culture, the festivals, an ancient castle on the plug of an extinct volcano, glorious architecture....]

Weather can be a bit grim though.... (and has been particularly miserable this winter).
From the article "1 and 3 years returns are mostly noise". He focuses on a longer term since it's a much better comparison. On a growing market it's much easier to overperform the index but then get wiped when a crash happens.
Ask HN: Secondary market trading etiquette
This (year old) profile of Chris Sacca (http://www.forbes.com/sites/alexkonrad/2015/03/25/how-venture-cowboy-chris-sacca-made-billions/#7c5dd42afa8c) describes how Chris gobbled up Twitter shares in stealth just prior to Twitter's IPO:

"Sacca secretly secured commitments for up to $1 billion in 30 days from J.P. Morgan and municipal endowments. He and Rizvi spent it over the next 18 months, buying out former employees and other investors right up until the cap table closed in May 2013, before the IPO. When the positions became known, other investors were ticked off to see Sacca’s camp had accumulated the largest outside position in Twitter right under their noses."

Why did Chris do this in stealth? I would think that a company's investors would be pleased that another investor was bullish on their future.

Why were other investors ticked off, besides the subterfuge?

Thanks for learning me on pre-IPO secondary market trading etiquette!
Not necessarily. Mailchimp is incredibly overpriced for what it does once you get past the lowest price levels. Signing up for Mandrill or Sendgrid or Mailgun, then using one of dozens of self-hosted newsletter options (some free, some one time paid with support) is much more cost effective. For really high volume just install your own licensed PowerMTA server from Port25, which is what Mandrill runs on anyway if I'm not mistaken.

The part of the service that you're paying for with Mailchimp is the actual delivery management, which virtually any of the existing transactional email systems including SES can undercut on price almost overnight.

That's one reason I never touched Mandrill because the low end pricing model didn't make sense for a company like Mailchimp with such a high price point for it's own services.
Brightwork.io | Portland, OR | API Developer/Intern (http://brightwork.io)

When you’re building an application you don’t want to have to worry that APIs you’re using is such a leap of faith. You want to be able to just build your application, use the APIs that will help that application gain traction, and at the same time save you money. But what happens when you want to switch APIs? You need to remove all of the dependencies, recode your application, then re-deploy it to your servers. And if you have an iOS application, you have to go through Apple’s cumbersome approval process.

Brightwork takes the pain out of APIs and removes that leap of faith. With Brightwork you can now turn up a stack in minutes, see all of your APIs’ performance and usage data information, and swap an API without the need to recode your application. We are unifying APIs to save Developers time and money. A lot of time. And a lot of money.

If you're passionate about APIs we want to hear from you. We're looking for someone that can come in and help with some technical heavy lifting. In exchange for your services you'll get real world exposure to building an enterprise class platform for some of the biggest brands and companies.

Please note, this is an unpaid internship. Students who are enrolled in an accredited post primary school need only apply. Remote considered, but we would prefer candidates in the Portland, OR. area. Email your resume, github username, and any other links to your work to josh@brightwork.io

Snapdocs | Rails Engineer |San Francisco, CA | Full-time, onsite

Snapdocs is a early-stage, rapidly growing company looking for a experienced and empathetic rails engineer. The ideal candidate is someone who plans to become a lead engineer (or perhaps a product manager) in the not too distant future.

We're a small team tackling the absolutely massive mortgage market. We're bringing modern, elegant software to a field that still relies on fax machines and manilla envelopes. We bring security, efficiency and joy to a paper-based pillar of the US economy.

The type of problems we're tackling involve workflow, product design, and data. Monolith vs microservice is an ongoing debate. We are working to find a good authentication pattern that allows for people to work across companies in multiple roles (which is trickier than you might think!). Domain Driven Design is our guiding light.

Snapdocs’ culture is one that trusts its team members to make smart decisions. This means we value both independent work as well as seeking collaboration. We're becoming ubiquitous in one segment of the market and we're looking to hire another core engineer to help us expand further.

Skills & Requirements

* Rails Engineer. 3+ years experience, but more is welcome. Ideally, you're a full stack coder. But in reality, you probably lean either towards the front or the back end. That's fine, so long as you know (and enjoy) your strengths.

* Being the 5th member of on a fast-growing technical team. This means helping to form a healthy and happy culture. We strive to be respectful of each other's time and point of view. We're learning how to do this together. We want to create a place where it's OK to fail, and that you know the team has your back the whole way through.

* Self-motivated. To us that means when you get an interesting problem, you will rip into it until you understand its nuances and perhaps have a glimpse of the solution.

* Empathy. We work closely with our customers, meaning phone calls, emails, and sometimes lunch. It is important in this job to listen to them so that we can build what they need and want.

* Knowledge of AWS would be excellent.

* UX experience (or interest in cultivating it) would be excellent.

This article brings up the concept of cognitive liberty. The more we rely on technology and AI the more this may become a concern.

"Cognitive liberty, or the "right to mental self-determination", is the freedom of an individual to control his or her own mental processes, cognition, and consciousness. It has been argued to be both an extension of, and the principle underlying, the right to freedom of thought. Though a relatively recently defined concept, many theorists see cognitive liberty as being of increasing importance as technological advances in neuroscience allow for an ever-expanding ability to directly influence consciousness."

I'm not stuck on anything right now, however I'm not against helping a fellow hacker for free as long as you don't expect too much.

Let me remind you that I don't have any significant experience in web dev, so I can help you with the relational model, offer opinions about what DB to use but after that I'm of no use.

The ECB is not that strongly against inflation. They have a goal of 2% inflation. They've also received criticism from the German Bundesbank for risking to much inflation with their programs.
It's a control / scale issue. Apple clamps harder on apps that infringe on its rules (it appears they have humans in the loop doing some active checking, if "My app got banned for ridiculous reasons" stories that hit HN periodically are to be believed). But Apple's developer base is so much larger that the amount of work needed to control against crap is proportionately higher.

China Expects 1.8M Coal, Steel Layoffs on Capacity Cuts
FWIW, I think Eclipse's SWT is the least bad option among cross-platform desktop GUI toolkits. Have you used it?

wxWidgets is a close second, but there are some caveats. For example, for a native multi-column list view, you have to use wxListView on Windows, but wxDataView on OS X and GTK.

We are currently in the process of building the next generation of the web app powering Boiler Room. We have upwards of a million views on our site a month, and that’s not including the hundreds of millions of views that our videos have accumulated on YouTube and Dailymotion. We want to create a completely unique web experience that lives up to the quality of our live shows.

McLuhan:

> With the telegraph Western man began a process of putting his nerves outside his body. Previous technologies had been extensions of physical organs: the wheel is a putting-outside-ourselves of the feet; the city wall is a collective outering of the skin. But electronic media are, instead, extensions of the central nervous system, an inclusive and simultaneous field. Since the telegraph we have extended the brains and nerves of man around the globe. As a result, the electronic age endures a total uneasiness, as of a man wearing his skull inside and his brain outside. We have become peculiarly vulnerable. The year of the establishment of the commercial telegraph in America, 1844, was also the year Kierkegaard published The Concept of Dread.

The article implies that we should just not bother trying to handle traffic coming from Tor. I believe this is a mistake because we become stronger by dealing with difficult situations.

For example, we've build a tremendous chunk of technology for handling massive DDoS attacks because we invested in dealing with them.

Tor is difficult because the users want anonymity and are aggregated across a small number (~1,500) IP addresses. But CloudFlare will be much stronger if we are able to reliably detect malicious use of Tor and allow through normal use. It's worth solving these problems precisely because Tor is so challenging. We have a whole bunch of technology for detecting and blocking attacks, making them work really, really well for Tor is something I'm investing in.
Then maybe next time they won't distract people with silly marketing, forcing the conversation to be about substance.
BIDDING ON SECURITY
That should be fine. The only "lingering" effects would be possibly suid or SELinux labeling oddities, but those are easy to watch out for.

And I should have been clear that a remapped root that drops drops privileges and/or transitions into another user is still better than an unremapped root doing the same. It's just that the remapping is not a panacea.
