Yes, how "insane"

I actually think it was nice of the developer to say "Hey, you can install this with npm or bower". And if you don't like either, you can grab the source yourself. Or you can just not use it and move on.

I wouldn't use this myself just because I think using flexbox on its own is great. And there are plenty of problems in web development today. But calling it "insane" just feels like you were looking for something trivial to get upset about.
Calling this dystopian is giving it too much credit, it's just plain grim.

should we keep them under the same company as it has a stronger goodwill in the market.

It is, candidly, unlikely anyone cares. Software products get the loyalty; the companies backing them are often unknown to the end-user and/or purchaser. This is true even in cases where you would swear blind that it cannot possibly be true. (Not at liberty to discuss specific conversations at ex-clients; suffice it to say that "How is it freaking possible that N% of our users of $FOO are unaware that we make $BAR even when they pay for both?!?" is a thing that has been said.)
In Africa it's quite the opposite. Cash is a liability. It's bound to be stolen. A stolen phone can be locked remotely and easily tracked.
I see this as a problem all over the world. - San Francisco, Seattle, New York, Vancouver, London, Oslo... Really the list could go on for quite a while.

So many of these cities feel like they have to retain their "identity" or the "feel" of the town, so they set restrictions that make it very hard to develop properties that can hold more people. The result is always the same: continually increasing prices in the center of the city whether you want to rent or buy, so you have to go further and further out to find something affordable, especially if you are young or if your parents can't help you finance a purchase.

This is going to continue until planning commissions start allowing the construction of higher density housing.
I don't expect or want to type in my username every time I unlock my phone. Nor my secure alphanumeric password.

Usernames are easy to guess or find out, so in that scenario, the fingerprint scanner would go to waste unless you used a weird username.

That monetary bit raised an eyebrow here too - either that's a forced and false confession or weird behaviour by a church. The CIA isn't entirely unknown to operate through front organisations (they almost always do).

That said, more likely is the bit about the Z society, who have a track record of getting their supplicants variously arrested and killed over the last century and a bit, who were probably the ones actually pushing the idea.

Yep, the lack of professional courtesy evident in things like asking someone to write an API from scratch and then abandoning any communication with that candidate seems to be a hallmark of the 20 something tech dweeb. And sadly this behavior is now routine. It also speaks to a larger red flag - namely that the company is letting someone so short on professionalism represent the company. The sad thing is that this is so common. Its not just limited to the 20 something developer but also the clueless HR flunkie/recruiters. The upside is that you usually spot these things quite early and can decline to pursue these things further.

There are no shortage of companies that need someone your age who have been around the block and can bring professionalism in addition to a wealth of experience. Don't sell yourself short. Even if they called you back after a month of ignoring you would you really want to work for them? Probably not. Generally ding dongs like that are only capable of hiring other ding dongs(confirmation bias), hold out for working with adults. You age is an asset not liability.
Not seeing any ip6tables in your script started wondering me if you might be prone to IPv6 leaking with your setup? You maybe want to check this out, if IPv6 is disabled on the clients everything should be fine. Browsers these days prefer using IPv6 when it is available and will not use the VPN tunnel if only IPv4 traffic is rerouted through the VPN tunnel.
Same thing for DNS leaking and hi-jacking, you want to use the VPN gateway as your DNS server to prevent this (Bind configured as a forwarder for example.), I don't see these settings back in your script. Just FYI and stay safe! https://www.wifimask.com (<== i figured out a lot of this when building this, WifiMask is not vulnerable to IPv6 leaking and DNS hi-jacking and leaking :P)
You've pretty much got it. Still, while expensive, renting is still much more affordable than buying. The other problem is, decent SFH rentals are very difficult to come by. Here in Victoria, my friends who are looking for houses are all starting families and would like more space than most apartments offer. Many of them would be fine with renting as long as prices are unbalanced, but the rental market selection if you want something larger than a 2-bedroom apartment is really sparse. Plus, many of the places you can find are only there until the owners manage to sell them, which obviously isn't ideal if you're looking to settle down.

They have betrayed my trust.

They actively marketed their product up until recently as being able to circumvent geo-restrictions, and actively helped users who had problems. That for me was the big sell.

Whilst I understand that it's a cat and mouse game now between content providers and VPN providers, they have built up a large customer base - based upon this premise.
> When we introduced a library for a new project

Great, a real data point! From this and previous comments, I'm guessing the library was React? And from another comment on this page, you haven't bolted-on multiple libraries for form handling, routing etc.

A few questions:

* What is the projected lifetime of the new project?
* Will the code be updated continuously (vs write once & freeze)?
* What does your ecosystem around React look like?
* What library/framework were you using before which you replaced with React?
* Have yoiu committed to using React on new projects for the next.. 24 months?

It'd be great to learn more, as it sounds like a non-Facebook scale project, i.e. more relevant to most of us...

AFAICT no one in this thread is saying they don't like React, or if $Company paid them to learn it they wouldn't (paid learning time, what's not to love?). It's about the pace of change, reinvention, and expectation to use latest and greatest and be future-proof.
Yup. Automate everything. Flight control software is now good enough. As much as I love flying in both formats, this is the logical end point of "safety first", and my personal feelings don't come into it. I'm not a proponent of this, just drawing the conclusion.

Same with cars.
It's true that POS tagging works fairly well. But consider that a sentence involves more than one word. Even at 97 % accuracy for one word, the probability of correctly tagging every word in a short sentence of only ten words, is still as low as 0.97^10 = 0.74. And sentences are generally longer than ten words.

And as POS tagging is usually only done as preprocessing for some other task like syntactically parsing a text (which itself is usually preprocessing for yet another task), 97 % accuracy per word is not as good as it sounds. Parsers need to work with wrong data for every second or third sentence.
To be fair, I don't think there are any places that can compete with SV tech salaries.

Visa and mastercard are already skimming a portion of all payments via their systems. So if we are moving to a cashless society, should this not be state owned infrastructure? Imagine a future where no cash exists and the large banks and card networks coown the infrastructure for all payments, taking their cut. I feel that cash is an important competitor to prevent this from happening. but unfortunately as with most things it's use it or lose it.

The historical problem with mixing HTML and server-side code has been one of mixing responsibilities. I'd probably still recommend keeping them separate for an HTML/server-side code application, but for frontend work, it takes on a different character.

I work on very "functionality-oriented" applications; no dedicated designers here. Having a split between JS view code (example, in the form of Backbone views) and template code is just frustrating to deal with. React addresses the issue by putting the relevant pieces of view code together. The React code should be separate from other code types (whatever you would call it: models, business logic etc.), but that's just like what we are trying to solve with separating server-side + HTML.

I still think however, React is controversial. I would be considerate when deciding to use it, because I just don't think it is that important for many applications.
Humble Bundle Cryengine Bundle – Pay What You Want
Here in my small German town that I am living in. Shops that accepts debit cards only made an appearances about 15 years ago. Before that, cash is the only way.

Credit cards are still very much not in vogue in my town. Actually, even in larger shops like Ikea, credit cards are not accepted.

The patents identified there seem like they're on very loose footing. Firstly they're all from halfway the previous decade ... about 50 years after voice recognition was invented (and cute detail: even their client-server voice patent doesn't quite work because the first IBM speech recognizers ran on a cluster out of necessity, therefore they had "remote voice endpoints").

Everything else is hopelessly out of date. Today voice recognition happens with DNNs or LSTMs. None of those patents would apply to such methods. They seem to have attempted to patent obvious applications of voice recognition.

http://www.google.com/patents/US6839669

Obviously identifies their old product (and I'm pretty sure I can find prior art for this one) where you could report your own voice and have it, say, open notepad when you say "open notepad". It's about making a computer respond to direct commands, and audio prompts. Seems to me like this would (should ?) never apply to a system that transcribes audio. Any modern interaction system would not be about responding to commands, except in an extremely broad sense.

A page filled with a list of prior art: https://books.google.com.au/books?id=f3IV90zLmaEC&pg=PA209&l...

https://www.google.com/patents/US6785653

Is about interactions with users based on prompts. Essentially a scripted interaction with people

Again this was filed in 2000. There has got to be prior art for this one. I remember using a system that did this before I entered high school, in 1994. And that was a pretty mature program, I bet when it comes to demos and papers you should be able to find systems doing this in the 70s.

Obvious prior art, as the computer is obviously using prompts (e.g. the purchase confirmation) : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I7q1cE9_AaQ1 (date: 1989)

https://www.google.com/patents/US7058573

Is about methods to adjust past recognized words on semantic meaning. Seems to be talking about this sort of thing "I was about two" => "I was about to". A neural net recognizer doesn't do this at all.

Also obviously prior art : this IBM engineer explains that this is exactly what he's doing. Judging by that computer this is early 80s: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cpdm1O-ob48

http://www.google.ch/patents/US7127393

Is about limiting voice recognition results based on a set of rules. Why would anyone work things this way in 2016 ? It is far easier to just transcribe and respond conversationally to the transcription (or just train a network to respond directly, negating the need for actually having any rules at all. You'd just show the system what to do).

Are you kidding me? This actually happened? I understand maybe feeling traumatized but really fuck those people. Its a shame that Glassdoor is such a pile of garbage there should be more of a forum for people to get the word out about such douchey and unprofessionalism. I hate to generalize but I feel like this bratty and completely unprofessionalism seem to be quite common in San Francisco and the Peninsula. I am basing this on interviews I have had and others I've spoken to. This childish behavior is not really common in other parts of the country - It's hard to imagine this happening in New York, Boston or Austin for instance.
@jon-wood — yes, in most countries, even in the US (though I have found a few incompatible ATMs in Boston).

The only country where all ATMs were hard-wired to accept 4-digit pins was Israel. But I was there 5 years ago, perhaps they upgraded their ATMs since. :)

Which bank are you with?

I'm also in Switzerland but I'm pretty sure my ATM limit is much, much lower than 75k. Actually I managed to max out my debit card daily limit just by buying a new MacBook Pro. The limits aren't there because banks hate cash (much), they're there to stop someone being marched to an ATM at knifepoint and being forced to empty their life savings into someone else's pockets.
In a large application, it starts to become a pain to deal with. It doesn't obviate the need to be careful over mixing responsibilities. In general, React components should just be things that render out to the DOM. If the HTML code is in JS, it doesn't matter as much as the more important thing of separating out your application layers.
That's the thing. With a VPN service, you don't have to read those ;)
Cash is inconvenient for small purchases. I hate dealing with coins. I wish they would finally kill the 1 and 2 (and maybe even 5) cent coins in the Eurozone.
I'm very surprised there is no mention at all about the safety of the VPN clients. Your biggest problem concerning privacy could be IPv6 leaking and DNS hi-jacking and leaking. You can have a trillion-bits VPN connection for IPv4 traffic, no logging, warrant canaries etc., but if your IPv6 traffic, which most browsers prefer, is not going through this tunnel you can say goodbye to your privacy. The same for DNS leaking, if you are still using your default DNS servers after setting up a VPN connection everybody can see what websites your are visiting or redirect your requests. And to prevent DNS hi-jacking your VPN client should at least use your VPN gateway as a DNS server. I built WifiMask (https://www.wifimask.com), which is not in the list, and is not vulnerable to any of these.
Locally the people who own the land (and small houses on top) often obstruct that very planning process for higher density housing.
I'm not sure you can say the decisions of one country "enable" crimes in another quite like that. The Swiss approach to tax and financial privacy isn't unreasonable, and if other countries require global cooperation to enforce their tax systems, then isn't that more of a design problem on their end?
>freedom to do as you please is not a real thing - you have to temper that freedom with the requirement to consider the impact on other people. Because you[1] are not special, and your freedoms are no more important than their freedoms.

that can be a very dangerous statement depending on how you define or assess "impact on other people"

To me, I should be free to do as I please unless my actions cause or can be proven to likely cause serious injury or death to another person, or cause actual articuable direct damage to another persons legally obtained property.

When you say "impact" another person, that could mean me simply typing an controversial opinion into an online forum, should the government be allowed to ban my opinion simply because it "impacts" a person that reads it?

On the topic of Drones, I believe a more defined Airspace is enough. Carve out simple rules and enforce those simple rules. the FAA today is over complicating the issue, and is putting in place rules that will do nothing to increase actual safety, or address any actual safety issue. The Registration for example is a massive privacy violation with no real world impact on safety.

the FAA, like the FCC has mismanaged the public resource they were charged with managing.
I've often wondered why this sort of overengineering, excess, and heavy "preaching" of "best practices" is more prevalent in some software ecosystems than others; the best hypothesis I can come up with is that it happens because the barrier to entry is low and the problems to be solved are easy, which encourages people to add complexity until it's not. Furthermore, the simplicity causes opportunities for something like a religion to develop: you don't have to think, just believe and follow. It's cargo-cult. Some fact that worked for someone gets parroted as "best practice" and then, despite how suboptimal it could be for them, others pick it up and think it's the "best" solution, and it works for them, propagating the belief. There's little questioning, because those who believe don't themselves actually understand enough to.
