IANAL either, but as far as I know a clean-room reverse engineering (like the Samba guys did) should be pretty safe. Of course, other reverse engineering techniques (e.g. disassembling or decompiling) are pretty illegal.

Also, the ToS for Skype may forbid the use of inofficial clients, and users using these might be locked out of the service if Skype finds out and cares.

Reading how CA defines a shuriken, it doesn't sound like the toy qualifies (not intended to be thrown, assuming the edges aren't sharp):

> As used in this part, a "shuriken" means any instrument, without handles, consisting of a metal plate having three or more radiating points with one or more sharp edges and designed in the shape of a polygon, trefoil, cross, star, diamond, or other geometric shape, for use as a weapon for throwing.

Could maybe qualify as a replica weapon regardless?
What about germany? Do you need a guy to do night shifts while it is day in germany? :)
I'm inclined to believe many are empty investment properties. A documentary about the housing costs showed a Chinese investment tour of Cupertino for such purpose:

The other issue is that the high school I went to there, Monta Vista High School, is extremely well-ranked. As such some investors buy houses, then rent them to a single custodian who boards as many students as possible so they can attend the schools. These custodians don't seem to have a high priority on keeping the house in great shape.
To add to your list: the bigotry of the Texan people seeps into Austin, the job market is tiny compared to the Bay, it is in a state where Republicans call the shots regarding social issues, their tech job market is dominated by contracted talent firms, and it gets hot as hell.

Yes, in exactly none of the big cities in the USA there is programming being done, let alone medium cities.

Nothing in NYC, nothing in Chicago, Seattle, Boston, Austin, DFW, Minneapolis, Portland, etc

Only on SFBA

Sure
12,000 people moved to SF in 2014. 4,000 new homes were added. I think we need more homes.

> You can have good mass transit or affordable housing, but not both.

Why's that?
This jibes pretty well with my experience. Used to weigh about 220 at my peak, and I was eating a lot those days. Cut back, drank less, exercised more (running). Lost about 45 pounds.

However, at that point, I was running about 1000 calories a day, sometimes less (a big reason I think The Martian is bullshit). I was not starving. My body wasn't starving. You can (and many people should) subsist on far less than the recommended daily allowance of calories.

If I eat a typical 2000 calorie diet, I will not just gain weight, but I will gain weight at a rate of about a pound or two a month.

I've currently gained back about 10 pounds of what I lost, so I'm going to have to turn on the afterburners again, but we really need to change the dialogue of what a standard of consumption and health is.

It's very simple: if your body has a slow metabolism, you have to eat a lot less than most people.

Landlocked? There is water EVERYWHERE in Austin. There are 7 miles worth of Greenbelts that cut through the entire downtown/urban area. We have Lake Travis and Lake Austin. The Colorado river (Town Lake) is right beside 1st street. We have Barton Springs just south of 1st street.

We're also getting a surf park (Nland) this year and have a ton of wake-boarding/cable parks.

An hour south we have Dripping Springs and Wimberley with Jacobs Well, Blue Hole, Hamilton Pool, Krausse Springs, etc. If you think Austin looks like the rest of Texas, here are some examples;

Hamilton Pool; http://yestotexas.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/hamiltonpoo...

As someone without a degree working in tech, I would argue The Bay Area is the best place to grow a career, maybe rather than start (didn't start out looking in SF for tech jobs. Most places want someone mid-senior level). You having a PhD probably opens the door for a ton of good companies though depending on what your field of study is in, which I assume is CS, and if you can pass the interviews. As long as you don't mind living in a box-sized apartment with other roommates despite having that or a studio in one of the more stab-y parts of town the opportunities for career growth are incredible.
I don't know. Is there anyone who isn't a politician or employed by the TSA who thinks the TSA is doing a job worthy of their funding?

Even though you have to take it as a fact that the status quo is a powerful force in politics, it seems like there is room for someone who wants to get elected on a populist platform to make this a banner issue.
Biology is driven by genetics, and it's what grounds the field. I think that, perhaps, your experience is more in bioinformatics, for which I share some of your skepticism. Some good work is being done there, but usually that has a strong genetic component.

We're at an interesting point where many of the useful mutant screens have been done to saturation, at least for the most common species. Expanding our genomic resources to screen more species is certainly helping. The way forward is just the same as it ever was; good mutant phenotypes with strong genetics.

I don't think 'serious math' is at all useful for most biological investigation. Modelling is only a means for generating hypotheses, and in my experience it's a terribly weak tool. A poor substitution for proper genetics.
While I find those who hop from one product to another are often doing analysis without enough data. They're the ones who are making rash decisions, and if not, then they should be able to show me their data.

"You don't know what you have until it's gone" is relevant here - those who don't switch may value what exists (and the perceived/tangible benefits of the vendor/platform they're using) well over any new snazzy features/improvements.

How many new "problems" or "missed expectations" will happen when I migrate that I didn't factor into the switch? About half my office switched to Android in 2012, then switched back in 2014 with the new iPhones.

About the only "leap of faith" that worked for me was moving to T-Mobile in 2013 - very very few problems with them, and the removal of bill anxiety is a blessing I cherish every month (I still have a monthly reminder telling me to check my ATT/VZ quotas - I haven't deleted those - they're my reminder of how shitty it was with them).
Well yes, but you couldn't immediately receive a notice with a significant fine.
Or, as the Bay Area demonstrates, neither.
I have had the most success with a keto based diet. There is a good outline here: http://josepharcita.blogspot.com/2011/03/guide-to-ketosis.ht...

Importantly for me, this diet drastically reduces cravings and reduces the impact of hunger, making it far easier to keep to vs other diets. But it can be quite restrictive, you'll likely find that eating out severely limits your options and it is tricky to keep to if you're traveling.
Yep, and IIRC getting out of line to mail something (plus you have to track down postage stamps elsewhere again IIRC) means you have to then go through the whole thing again.

Human API | Redwood City, CA & Vancouver, BC | Full-time | ONSITE | http://humanapi.co/ | jobs@humanapi.co

== About us ===

We're a small, product-centric team focused on opening the world of health data. We're solving a hard but interesting problem: health data exchange. We ingest health data from thousands of sources and transform that data into an API that developers can build apps on. This allows thousands of developers to create apps that improve peoples' lives. Our investors include a16z, Eric Schmidt, Blue Run Ventures, Max Levchin, Scott Banister, and Alex Payne.

== What you will build ==

Human API is the easiest way to integrate health data from anywhere. Users can now securely share their health data with any application or system, regardless of how that data was recorded, processed or stored. As an engineer on our team, you’ll be involved in one or more of the following areas:

- Modeling clinical data: organizing and normalizing the world of health data
- Developing and scaling structured APIs
- Scaling our ingestion platform and optimizing a multivariate rate limited system
- Data engineering and building tools for data science - NLP and Classification
- Powering platforms and tools for customers to build health apps

== Open roles ==

Most of our engineers have a diverse programming background (Javascript (Node.js) / Scala / Python / Java / C), and most roles require willingness to work on Node.js. However, we gravitate toward using the right tool for the job. Experience with some of the following is required:

- Stream processing and unified log systems with Kafka and RabbitMQ
- Mongodb, Redis and Cassandra for data storage
- Data analysis with Spark or Python tools
- Building and scaling a modern infrastructure stack with Docker and Mesos
- Building consumer focused apps and/or developer focused tools
- Powering search with ElasticSearch and related tools
- Building a performant mobile UI using React

You can read more about some of the open roles here: http://humanapi.co/company/join

We'd love to hear from you even if you don't "fit" one of the job specs -- we hire for people, not roles. If you're interested, contact jobs@humanapi.co

Which is why I'm still wondering how this decision even helps...
I would go further to suggest that, simply, more people attempt to carry contraband such as illegal drugs, than attempt to carry "dangerous" items, such as those that "terrorists" would ostensibly try to bring on board.

Since the TSA is obligated to report such finds to local law enforcement, and that law enforcement is routinely a radio call and 45 seconds away, it appears that the TSA is responsible for arrests and seizures when, in fact, they have no authority to do so themselves, but rather the obligation to report illegal goods.

Don't get me wrong, the TSA's involvement in the "war on drugs" isn't in question. They're an informant. But when they find a gun in your bag, they're still an informant. They inform law enforcement, who comes to question and/or arrest the passenger. Other than the deflection of liability should something dangerous get through the screening checkpoints, I personally think we could do without the TSA.
Just American-Men..?

How about Too many _Adults_ are obsessed with work and wealth?
I've flown with shaving razors and pocket knives attached to my keys numerous times. They get found and confiscated about 20% of the time. I recently forgot to remove both and the TSA agent spent 5 minutes looking for something. He found the shaving razor, but not the pocket knife and was very pleased with himself.

Its absurd the profiling going on with the TSA. If I dress well, I get rushed through the lines quickly. If I dress like a slob, I get subjected to additional baggage checks and pat downs on a regular basis while TSA agents bark orders at me like I'm incompetent. This article makes it sound like they are trained to do this under the guise of "behavior detection". Once I got precheck, I started getting treated like a human being.

Fuck the TSA. If we need to provide jobs to dropouts, give them something meaningful to do without subjecting the rest of the population to their "authority".
Good mass transit increases demand for housing in its coverage area, increasing prices.

Hi! We're Nylas. We build N1, the extensible, open source email client, and the infrastructure powering it. We're looking for fronted application engineers (React, Electron, JS), designers, backend systems engineers, & infrastructure/operations engineers.

We recently launched N1, have accumulated over 16K stars on GitHub, and are looking for core application engineers to design an extensible platform around email, calendar, and contacts. You'll not only use modern web tech to build a better email experience, you'll design the developer platform to power the next generation of email apps. See more about N1 here: https://nylas.com/N1 & code: https://github.com/nylas/N1

We have more data for a single user than in most startups' entire database. We're scaling heavily and if you have experience with automated deployments, debugging running systems, release engineering, and on-call schedules, but are still comfortable writing code, we're for you. :)

We take pride in the diverse culture we've built and are looking for more than raw technical talent: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z7sHc4P4zPg

== We're particularly looking for folks who ==

* Take personal pride in their work and value autonomy and ownership

* Want the chance to step up and lead a team

* Put the work before ego. We've got each others' backs, and we want you to be with us on that

== A bit more about us ==

* Our backend is built on Python, Flask, gevent, nginx, MySQL, AWS, and Debian. We've been careful to keep our architecture componentized.

* N1 uses javascript (ES6), React, Flux, SQL for offline caching, Electron, and no jQuery

* Tons of our code is open source. Check it out: https://github.com/nylas

* We're a small team * We have a paid vacation policy & value personal responsibility and ownership. Benefits include free Lyft to & from the office, full health, dental, vision, and lunch every day. Some remote work / work-from-home is OK too

Apply at https://nylas.com/jobs or ping me directly (karim@nylas). We're a diverse team, and encourage applications from all backgrounds.

They're basically useless. The money would be better spent on agencies like the FBI that can prevent terrorists from ever showing up at airports.

As Israeli security experts have said time and time again, if the terrorist gets to the airport it's already too late. Brussels is an unfortunate demonstration of this principle.

> Wish I could find that study! But it would be an interesting hypothesis to test for: if someone reduced their calorific content too quickly then the body will attempt to compensate when normal eating resumes. Obviously it would need to use animals and a control group but it might be insightful.

There's a natural experiment of sorts in re-feeding people with anorexia. Many people think this is a risky time because they think it's easy for someone to gain wieght too rapidly.

Nothing wrong with that. The costs only start to bother you as you get older and have been there a while and want to plan your next 10 years. Especially nice if you know you want to settle in the SE eventually (although your prferecnes may change...).

Inside Korea's Billion Dollar Beauty Industry
I didn't mean to imply that the new generation of devs are lazy and stupid. They (and you apparently) are influenced by the perception that RDBMSs are relics not designed with modern hardware in mind. This perception is wrong. Vertica and VoltDB were both designed from the beginning to be distributed. SQL Server and Oracle were not designed that way in the beginning but incorporated those capabilities over time. All of these are incredibly sophisticated, modern, high performance RDBMSs. None of them can be used effectively without some effort to acquire relational concepts, modeling, SQL, etc. This is where the "database community" has lost ground to the prevailing NoSQL solutions IMO, by not making it easier for new devs to plug and play.

One example of the sort of thing that could make RDBMSs more plug-and-play is Vertica's flex tables - a schema-free, super flexible blob of a table that lets you move forward without having to completely define your relational model.
