Thanks a lot!

I understand that the video was not meant for public consumption, but I'll still say this, as a general note: It's way more easier to follow when the questions are at the end, and the presentation is not interrupted. I see many speakers saying "Hey, I'd like this to be an interactive thing, interrupt me if you have a question", and although this is nice for offline events, for a talk that'll be published, a more old-school interaction makes the things easier for the guy who watches the video.
I have been to some of these.

noisebridge - it's a very good place but the last two times I was there it was quite dirty. it also had homeless people (nothing against the homeless but it's not the right place for them) which made it hard to work there.

TechShop - is not a computer hacking place. mostly for mechanical/engineering.

I will try the other two, thanks for your suggestions!
Well there is also socialization with a small to medium sized group - which still occurs - and some members of the species fight for status. But these are not universal traits - most humans simply want to survive and play safe.
Airmail for OSX has a PGP extension available.
You misunderstand the problem. The issue is that CloudFlare is treating Tor traffic like any other traffic. What you want is special treatment for Tor above and beyond the whitelisting feature CloudFlare already offers to site owners.
yep i was comparing against Atom
I like Go but I get an uncomfortable culty-vibe from this posting. Also, if we could just title our blogs with "Interesting, Relevant, Engaging" so everyone would read them would be so much easier.
Meanwhile the extra 10 years of 84x heat capture has powered the warming positive feedback cycle. Elevated temps put more moisture into the air, raise the temp, the raised temp causes trapped methane in the arctic to enter the atmosphere. The atmosphere (and the oceans) aren't a balance sheet.
Instead of having IP-based reputation system, that persists for quite a while, they could have a time limit per IP for specific kinds of requests.

Like if you fail to log in to a site, 2^(attempts) timeout from that IP for that page only. Can also integrate a combination of request headers. Sure, it's still IP-based reputation, but it doesn't persist and is much less intrusive.

Most sites require specific cookies on consecutive requests, and such blocking should be on the app side only.

There are solutions in each case and all of them are harder than IP-based blocking. However, in the interest of privacy, they should adopt these more nuanced solutions.

StarRaiders: Reverse-engineered, fully documented assembly language source code
Filtering of outbound traffic from Tor exit nodes can only be done by Tor exit node operators. The Tor project can kick out some defaults (like, say, blocking SMTP) but ultimately it wouldn't matter...the bad actors will just find ways around the filters, or devise new ways to abuse the system. Static filters will never work. It's like hoping everyone will do source address verification on egress.

Cloudflare just have to get smarter here. It's their business to do dynamic filtering and balance this stuff, not Tors.

Ask HN: What credit card do you use/recommend [USA]?
I've never really been a credit card user, but I am thinking about getting one. I have great credit so i think I will qualify for most and my income should also be fine. Unfortunately, most of the articles and reviews online are all sponsored and now I can't separate the bs. So as fellow engineers, what credit cards have your chosen and what were your reasons for it?

The engineer will be responsible for adding new features and apply performance improvements to the existing code base. You will solve challenging problems like applying performant collision detection algorithms for UI elements, or creating a solution for turn-by-turn directions.

Onfleet, San Francisco, On-site, Lead Mobile Engineer

We’re looking for a top-notch lead mobile engineer to take our iOS and Android apps to the next level. Substantial experience (2+ years) with both iOS and Android is a must. A deep understanding of mission-critical, location-based applications (especially the challenges around global use) is a huge plus.

We're building a modular platform that solves the hard technical problems around fleets of mobile workforces (e.g. route optimization, simplified dispatch UX/UI, real-time location tracking, driver mobile apps for multiple platforms). We provide an end-to-end solution for assigning work, tracking drivers and driver performance, and providing a delightful end-user experience with automatic SMS updates including accurate ETAs and a map to track deliveries en route. Onfleet powers hundreds of thousands of deliveries every month, for hundreds of businesses around the world.

Our backend is built using the latest technologies, including Node.js, Redis, Postgres, MongoDB, and WebSockets. Our product is mission-critical, so reliability and stability are essential. Our mobile apps use the latest frameworks and must be extremely robust in all types of device and connectivity situations. Our customers’ drivers see our apps as their most essential work tool and spend much of their day interacting with them.

As our third engineering hire, and only dedicated mobile engineer, you will work very closely with our product-focused founding team to bring a perfect delivery management experience to SMBs and other delivery-centric tech companies, enabling them to scale their businesses and delight their customers. We’ve recently passed the 1M delivery mark and are growing aggressively on all fronts month over month.

More details here: https://onfleet.com/careers

Feel free to email our VP of Engineering m[at]onfleet.com with any questions you might have.

Calling trees. That's the way we did it years ago.
You're presenting a false dichotomy. Yes, it may be true that people whose lives are made worse by their internal need to make their chart all green have deeper problems to deal with. But that doesn't mean that GitHub and the rest of the community have to continue to rub it in their face and aggravate those issues with a constant reminder that they "should be contributing more".

Recognizing that people may have problems, recognizing that the activity graph and streak metric may aggravate those problems, and then saying that the charts shouldn't be removed and the people should just deal with it themselves is not particularly empathetic.

> Only the final goal of improving outcomes matters, and indulging the emotional human demand for punishment does not necessarily help that goal, it can even seriously hinder it. If only we could apply the same rationality to, say, the penal system.

I completely agree. Humanity still has to grow up, to realize that helping other people is lot more efficient than punishment.

I like the quote: "Emphasis on punishment is the sign of an obedience frame."
"Read-only" pages are still fertile ground for layer 7 DDOS.
> I don't know about 94% of TOR traffic being fraudulent but I'm sure it's high.

I was curious and ran a quick check on my servers. 5 servers, about 300 domains, checked my logs going back 1 week. I could find just ONE legitimate session. Everything else was something trying to break WordPress or PHPMyAdmin or something else. I'd love to support Tor but I feel like I can't fight this fight.
in the Chinese education system critical thinking is not encouraged. "common folk" tend to believe what they are told without questioning it.

SEEKING WORK - Remote okay, travel okay, or we can grab coffee in person if you're in SF Area.

I'm someone people go to when they need a specialist in security to look over their technical architecture and operations for security issues and help them understand how those affect their business. We sit down and look at what your real risks are, what risks aren't as big of a problem, where your sensitive data is, and what the best steps to take might be to improve things. I work with companies and products at all stages of design, and while I always recommend looking at security as early as possible, I have a large focus on how to secure systems that have already been built. My goal is for us to end our time with my clients understanding their security needs well enough to walk away and know where they should be focusing their time and effort and what steps they should take to make it happen. My clients look at me in much the same way as they look at their lawyer, a trusted specialist they periodically ask to provide advice to help them understand the issues they need to run their business.

I current work with everything from small startups trying to keep their customers' information safe to multi-billion dollar engineering projects that involve moving earth, installing steel and ensuring the safety of human lives. I try and keep a few small slots open in my schedule to do bits of consulting with startups and I thought I'd try posting in one of these threads finally. :)

You can contact me at mail@capelis.dj

My website is horribly out of date because I've been focusing on working with clients instead. If you have any questions, it's probably best to just get in touch.

Why on earth were property taxes rising along with the price of housing? Instead of collecting a flat percentage of the home value, the cities/state could have just divided the taxes they were going to collect across all properties, proportionate to their value.

Just because there's a property value boom doesn't mean that the regional budgets should expand by 20% year over year...
FYI - the relative merit of this story notwithstanding - Xinhua is run by the CCP and the party exerts a high degree of editorial control.
There are people out there who judge you on your contribution consistency. Some of those people are involved in the hiring process.

In the interview process, we tend to worry about what we telegraph, and we should really spend more time worrying about what the other guy is telegraphing. For some of us it's hard to remember that anybody who thinks committing 7 days a week means you're a better person... isn't someone you want to hang around with anyway.

Rejection stings, even though being rejected by someone you objectively can't respect shouldn't hurt that much. We are human. If you prick us we bleed.
It's much weirder than that. All we have are partial theories. To wit: if it was easy, everybody would be doing that. Maybe that will be true in a few years; dunno. You get government or (something) money, start something like an Amazon store, it sustains you.

We've already seen the "everybody sells each other insurance" thing happen. That was the dystopian prediction back in the 1970s.

Since other factors ( other than land ) have declined in price, risk dominates the remaining cost. If all you look at is the winners in a risk-intensive market, it looks biased. And actual physical capital - machines that used to take up space - is no longer a guarantee of an income. Indeed, physical capital has its own risks.

The real problem is that people who have a lot of equity must do certain things to liquidate it. Those things will invariably add debt to the thing they sold. This debt accumulates until it strangles the firm.

They don't care because now they've left town with a suitcase full of money. And they nearly have to do that because risk.

Innovation slowly destroys constraints. Those constraints may or may not be lynchpins to what sustained you before.
Some people apparently took my comment personally, but it doesn't change the fact that many in those communities aren't from a CS background.

Which is why some decisions, like the whole npm modules, or the ruby gems before bundles (if I get it right), get to be taken without consideration how it works in large scale.

Of course people with CS background also use dynamic languages. I have Python, Smalltalk, Lisp, Perl, JavaScript on my CV.

"Absolutely not. I believe in privacy and have zero tolerance for big businesses who throw their weight around at the expense of minority communities (Tor users in this case)."

You're fine with the anonymity industry throwing their weight around at the expense of a handful of CDN's, though. I understand Tor's need to protect users. That's why they need to find a way to treat malicious traffic different than normal traffic. Then adopting them might be a good business decision.

This page really helped me wrap my head around Bezier curves. It's very well done.

One thing, given all the live code on the site, it would be nice to have a live sample where one can select points and a t in [0, 1], and it shows it's coordinate along the line. I implemented a Bezier curve, and had trouble coming up with unit test samples.
