I magit in emacs, combined with git gutter. It's a good way to see your commits as you edit code.

But lots is still done on the command line. The two aren't mutually exclusive.
There is nothing in the digital signature check that allows it to be locked to a device, so that's logic that has to kick in AFTER the trusted layer has validated the code. At that point, it is a simple matter of altering the device ID check in unsecured RAM and you've now got another cracked phone.
Nice as a parable about leverage, but the farmer in me observes that land isn't necessarily cheap, and you have to own some to do this. ("Assume the existence of a can opener," and all that.)

Also, your thirty-six unprotected chicks will probably be eaten by a fox or a coyote (depending on region). Remember, these animals are nocturnal hunters; just because you don't see them doesn't mean they aren't there. (Of course, if you assume you have a guard dog to go with your land, the problem's more or less resolved.)

Still, growing trees with valuable fruits, as a form of low-touch agricultural earnings, isn't the worst idea; I've been fond of arboriculture ever since reading _1491_.
True, assuming you're not a dual citizen to start off. Some of the Americans moving to Europe might already have a European citizenship by descent (although not necessarily of the country they end up settling in).

Actually, I didn't. It's an odd word choice, and 'prefer' would have made more sense. Rather is typically used in conjunction with another verb, while prefer isn't.
>The law also doesn't care what you think in this matter. That's the sticky point.

US law is irrelevant. US law only applies in the US, whatever Congress thinks. If I'm not in the US and I'm not a US citizen, the US government can pound sand.

I'm always curious why Americans expect the US to have jurisdiction everywhere on the planet and yet don't expect other countries to make laws affecting them.

>Your last comment is a non sequitur. You originally wrote "the people renouncing might be the people who do owe additional tax". My comments are all about that conjecture.

Yes, people who owe additional tax. That's what I was talking about. People who are expected to pay taxes to the US government even though they don't live in the US and haven't for many years.

What is it you're talking about?

>The people who continue to file income tax statements even decades after living in the US are not in the category of "people renouncing" or "owe additional tax".

Yes, those are the people. Who else would you expect was doing this?

We are building hardware and mobile apps to help people analyze their home energy consumption, see what is going on in their homes, and ultimately reduce their energy footprint -- powered by machine learning technology that can tell which appliances are on in your house and how much power they're using, in real time.

We're currently iOS only, and we're looking to bring on an Android developer as engineer #4, responsible for building our Android app from the ground up.

I appreciate that Professor Landau emphasized the "arms race" between companies securing their systems, and adversaries breaking them. Companies push software with bugs, adversaries exploit the bugs (and hopefully responsibly disclose them), then the company patches the bug and pushes a new update.

Any iPhone <5 running iOS <8 is comically exploitable. This should drive home the point that as time progresses, older vulnerabilities become easier to exploit, so that leaving them unpatched becomes irresponsible.

If the FBI asks Apple to create new software to grant the FBI the ability to unlock the phone, they are effectively asking Apple to exploit a vulnerability in their software. By definition, Apple will know that vulnerability exists. In the "arms race," when Apple identifies a vulnerability, they fix it. In this case, when Apple identifies the vulnerability, will the FBI allow them to fix it? Or would the FBI prefer that Apple have a responsibility to "maintain" the vulnerability and ensure it remains exploitable?
To me, there are three parts to Wikipedia: content, community, and organization. Pretty obvious the content has the potential to live on, though without a solid community, it'll get rotten pretty quickly. As for the organization, To me, it seems pretty driven by the founder, though might be wrong, and also, not sure what to make of it. Basically, my opinion is that if the community dies, Wikipedia dies.

The comments to this post are really interesting - one comment claims that (according to an agent) agency pricing was Amazon's idea, not the big 5, even though, the big 5 very publicly insisted on agency pricing. It's really absurd. Of course, agency pricing for ebooks was first pushed by Apple, part of what got them and the big publishers in trouble for antitrust conspiracy (when the publishers agreed to withhold books from Amazon if Amazon kept discounting)

The the comments about Amazon and publishing, Amazon has a very major publishing operation (called, suprise!, Amazon Publishing). It's grabbing market share very quickly. If you want information about this check authorearnings.com (which provides industry sales estimates that include self-publishing) Of course the big story in the publishing business is that self-publishing is rapidly eclipsing traditional publishers in the ebook space.

Amazon is not only doing Netflix for books. It's doing Netflix for film and TV. The big competitor to Netflix is not any network or studio -- it's Amazon.
My thoughts exactly. Since adopting Slack, the only time we use anything else is Hangouts for videoconferencing. Even using the attached chat in the hangout feels clunkier than using Slack chat during a videoconference.

When you really feel it is when Slack goes down and you have to go back to using something else. There are just so many little details in the presentation that make a text chat in Slack feel right. Adding videoconferencing to their platform is the logical next step.

In an ideal world they'll find a way to improve on video chat similarly! I'd be plenty happy though with an experience comparable to hangouts, but without leaving Slack.

Remote Android Engineer (Java / JS) at Help Scout

Apply at https://help-scout.workable.com/jobs/214240

After recently launching the Help Scout iOS app to 5 star reviews, we have big plans for our first Android app. We’re looking to hire an experienced Android engineer to help us craft a wonderful experience there. You’ll be joining one other full-time engineer on the project and working on a product used by over 5,000 companies around the world.

Our engineering team is currently about twenty people, with one focused on iOS and no one yet focused on Android. We’re starting at the ground floor with Android and have yet to make several platform-specific and technology decisions. You’ll be involved in every decision we make regarding implementation and testing.

You’ll be helping us select a framework for implementation. We currently are debating between Java or React Native and while you may have several years experience with Java on Android, you are curious enough about React Native to do some exploring and help us make an informed decision.
A separate team of engineers owns all the API endpoints, so your work is focused on the app implementation and design details. You’ll also be getting everything you need from the design team with regard to Android-specific visual design and interactions.

Since our experience skews heavily toward web development, you bring a level of Android-specific expertise that will help us craft an outstanding experience for customers.
With years of experience working with Android, Java and Javascript, you are someone that loves picking up new skills and refining your craft.

You delight not only in the way an application works, but in how it looks, and have an excellent understanding of Android interaction design. Complex cross fades, card flips and other Android animation details are something you love working on because it can help you execute the perfect user experience.

You stay up-to-date on the Android platform and can provide insightful advice about leveraging native platform APIs or evaluating and leveraging wrappers.

You believe remote teams are the future of work, or are at least excited about the idea. You have experience working with remote teams or can adjust your work/management style to be remote-friendly.
About Us

Help Scout is a remote team with employees in eleven states and six countries (seven in the Boston office). We optimize the team for excellence over geography and overcome remote challenges through transparency, trust, and video conferencing.

What's that fallacy called which leads us to assume that other peoples' jobs are easy? If there are a few major players in an area and all of their offerings are terrible, is it more reasonable to conclude that they just all suck despite somehow being major players, or to conclude that it's actually a much harder problem than you think?
You don't have to use the preprocessor, but it is definitely practical for certain things. It's probably not clear from my comment, but macros were what I assumed the above post was talking about though (e.g. min/max). FYI, some projects actually eschew the C/C++ preprocessor for other languages.

I tend to avoid macros, but stuff like generating things at compile time can sometimes be pretty useful. It can make it harder for other people to read the code if they're not familiar with it though (also any tools that need to parse), which is why I try to prefer using UltiSnips for most stuff I normally might do with a macro.

Geithner advocated saving the big banks, and undermined any effort to help average people who couldn't pay their mortgages. That's why the "mortage relief" program was designed to not work. He represents the 1% who believe that wall-street is our real economy - and everyone else should just keep paying to support them in their endless quest for more money. I'd rather take a course from any of the economists who accurately described and predicted the problems - but they weren't the ones appointed to positions of power by either the Democrats or Republicans.

Insert the word "perceived" into that sentence and none of that matters.

Also, ignoring for the sake of argument whether this is actually true, there are numerous possible caveats:

- Living standards could be better now, but also more fragile than at any time in history.

- Average living standards could be high, but with growing extremes and a shrinking middle.

- Living standards in a historical perspective are 100% irrelevant to someone who is currently living half the lifestyle they did five years ago because their industry dried up and they have to serve food for a living.

- etc.
Amazon have a huge pile of different publishing imprints, see:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amazon_Publishing

And that's just original imprints; it doesn't list things like Audible, which Amazon owns, and which are THE major audiobook publisher, but almost always published secondary to a print publication rather than original.

And that's not including Amazon's multiple self-publishing options, including the Kindle Direct program.

John McAfee's plan to crack the iPhone will not even begin to work
If the ebooks many want to read are expensive electronically, maybe many won't buy a kindle, but still buy the printed books ? And without a kindle, they won't buy cheaper books from the competition ?

And maybe this will slow Amazon's success for a few profitable years, more profitable than current loses ? And maybe by that time the publishers will find an ebook strategy that will work(hard to believe, but maybe).

Also,let's look on the other side - what happens if ebooks fully kill print ? can publishing even make money in such state of affairs ?
> The sales that would go to that $15.99 book are going to lower-priced books from indie authors and self-published authors, like me.

> They actually proved the consumer will buy the cheaper option, but okay

I find it alarming that an indie author does not seem to be concerned with cheap product flooding the market. Amazon's attempts to lower barriers to entry means more aspiring authors competing for a piece of the pie. Look at how the race to the bottom in the App Store is destroying indie iPhone developers.
I think you've misunderstood me. I was responding specifically to the case pointed out by the OP in which 2 cars get to a stop sign at the same time. Here's the relevant CA code, and I haven't heard of a state that does it differently:

21800. (a) The driver of a vehicle approaching an intersection
shall yield the right-of-way to any vehicle which has entered the
intersection from a different highway.
(b) (1) When two vehicles enter an intersection from different
highways at the same time, the driver of the vehicle on the left
shall yield the right-of-way to the vehicle on his or her immediate
right, except that the driver of any vehicle on a terminating highway
shall yield the right-of-way to any vehicle on the intersecting
continuing highway.

That's a good use-case I guess.

I had an idea that you could have a feed where peoples comments are showing up. So when you'd press the extension or open the app you'd see "oh people are using this app and this is where they are commenting".

Then Birdy itself becomes the "network" and each comment made is more likely to be seen by other Birdy members.
