Yes, reputation is a form of tracking. And if you show up to a site with no reputation of your own, from an IP that has a known-bad reputation, it is in the best interest of the site to challenge (not block) you. You are 97% likely to be malicious traffic.

Edit: 97% is a real number, not an exaggeration, based on numbers from the report linked in the article.

HERE Capture Software Team | Berkeley | ONSITE | Full Stack Developer (Full-time)

Imagine a future where an autonomous vehicle can detect a rockslide or traffic accident on the road ahead and update the navigation data of surrounding vehicles in real-time. HERE is working on both the technological challenges underpinning that future, and international standards and specifications required to allow that to happen between all vehicles, regardless of their make. HERE is in a unique position to bring this vision into being, integrating the rapid advances coming out of the Internet of Things, distributed processing technologies and sensor-rich autonomous vehicle development.

A little about HERE:
HERE collects, sustains and serves up mapping and navigational data with a global reach. Recently acquired by BMW, Audi and Mercedes for ~2.8 billion USD, HERE's focus on the future of autonomous vehicles is set to intensify.

Positions on my team:
Full-stack engineer (More back-end focused than front-end)
http://rolp.co/5WFW9

About my team:
We are the Capture Systems Software team. We build the software running on our data collection systems across the globe; receiving the transmissions and messaging from those systems into our cloud-based services; and the web interfaces used across the company for monitoring and tracking the fleet and it's collection. Currently I'm building out mapping interfaces to track where our sensors are and what they are detecting, in real-time.

Other members of the team are:
-Building out the Android applications used by drivers in our full sensor rigs,
-Architecting AWS-based cloud services for receiving, processing, storing and serving the high volume of messages coming out of HERE sensors,
-Improving and stream-lining the robotics software that runs on sensor hardware itself, and
-Standardizing the deployment processes for all of these projects, running in very different environments.

If you can contribute to any of those functional roles, reach out! Positions for DevOps, Android development and more back-end focused roles are opening up shortly, so contact me if you want to know about those once they are released.
Even if you just write the SQL I can translate it into RSpec if it'll save you time.

It's quite possibly because they're getting a lot of traffic. As people are realizing that it's actually functional I'm sure they've got more telnet connections than all the MUDs in the world combined.
Actually they do have hard evidence of their trip to the drug lab (in the form of emails; voicemails possibly also; and very likely paper receipts from the lab itself, if they haven't been thrown out).

More importantly, though -- you're doing better now, but your closing remarks are still backhanded and wishy-washy. Can't you just say:

"I'm sorry to hear about your friend's experience; all I can say is that nothing like that has ever happened to me, or anyone at Pivotal I know, and I'd be very surprised if such a policy, if ever widely applied at Pivotal, were still in force anywhere in the company."

This was addressed in CloudFlare's blog post:

> One suggestion has been that we treat GET requests for static content differently than we do more risky requests like POSTs. We actually already do treat more dangerous requests differently than less risky requests. The problem is Tor exit nodes often have very bad reputations due to all the malicious requests they send, and you can do a lot of harm just with GETs. Content scraping, ad click fraud, and vulnerability scanning are all threats our customers ask us to protect them from and all only take GET requests.

I've been building web, desktop and mobile applications for the last 6 years. In 2015 I partially switched to data science: big data, nlp, machine learning, etc and this has become one more area I'm interested in.

My average hourly rate is $35, and it might vary depending on the volume of work you have.

When emailing me, please provide the details of what you need to implement, your approximate budget and deadline.

Thanks && Cheers!

There are actually tangible rewards: multiple people in this thread have talked about how they've had discussions with recruiters who examined their activity history and commit streaks. So maybe having longer streaks helps you get a job, and maybe having shorter ones hurts. It's anecdotal, yes, but it's not intangible.

But I think your second paragraph addresses the real problem: contributing 18hrs/weekday and contributing 5mins/day are both legitimate open source contribution styles. But the "streaks" metric removes all subtlety -- how many contributions are they actually making; are the changes meaty or trivial; do the changes break CI; do the changes address Issues in their respective repos -- and so I don't believe it is a helpful metric to display.

Personally, I believe it does more harm that good, by encouraging people to maintain streaks even if doing so actually decreases their true productivity or happiness. But no matter how much or how little harm it does, I think it is hard to argue that it does much good, since it is such a high-level distillation of complex information.

Well, there are more than two links in the article. Many of them lay out methods that would detect fraud if it were happening. Nobody is "pretending", we have investigated and concluded that it is not happening. For example: http://apr.sagepub.com/content/42/2/311

"Although voter ID laws have become a hot topic of political debate, existing scholarship has failed to produce conclusive evidence concerning the existence or frequency of electoral fraud, especially the type of fraud that would be prevented by photo identification laws and signature verification protocols for voting by mail. We propose a new method of measuring election fraud, especially identity fraud, that is superior to previous measurement efforts because it measures actual instances of fraud rather than waiting for conclusive proof of fraud produced in a criminal prosecution. We test our method in multiple jurisdictions, including two known cases of electoral fraud, and we find no additional cases of fraud. We speculate that public access to voting and registration records play an important role in preventing this type of election fraud, suggesting that these practices are perhaps more important than voter ID laws in preventing election fraud."

Requiring an ID for alcohol is not unreasonable because there is no constitutional right to be able to purchase it. I imagine there are some gun control opponents who argue that requiring an ID to buy a gun is unconstitutional, but there is ample evidence that not requiring an ID causes immense societal problems, and infringes on other people's constitutional rights. This is not true of voting, as you can see in that article.

Good point—this may have been a factor. But this story [1] about Apple's founding indicates that they got financing based on a verified purchase order:

> A bank turned the two scruffy guys down for a loan and another computer parts store declined an equity stake in the new venture. “Finally Jobs was able to convince the manager of Cramer Electronics to call Paul Terrell to confirm that he had really committed to a $25,000 order,” says Isaacson. Terrell confirmed it and then Jobs got the parts on 30 days credit.

It's possible that Cramer Electronics would have asked for the loan to be personally secured, but it sounds like that would have been futile given the Steves' lack of other assets. I haven't read every story about early Apple, and would be curious to know whether they managed to finance operations this way, or if they indeed had to personally secure loans.

I'm not a fan of Thunderbird's aesthetics, but obviously that's subjective.

Functionally, a lot of my problems stem from the Enigmail plugin and Thunderbird search. It really wants encrypted mail to stay encrypted and that means search doesn't work. Last time I looked, there was some hacky workaround with configuring a filter to make a copy of incoming mail and decrypt the copy, but I couldn't get it to work reliably.

This is a relatively well educated and intelligent forum population. Simplistic Communist Party propaganda isn't persuasively here.

There are a few hundred too many billionaires in Chinese government for anyone to believe that honesty and integrity and socialism are Chinese government values.

And the Chinese Communist government has no tradition -- is it a decent tyranny imposed on the Chinese people.
