Ask for other compensation rather than money.

For example, ask for a 4 day work week, or 2 months paid leave, or possibly other perks that are important to you?

You could also ask that the company make a donation on your behalf to another cause.

The nice part is that you can look passionate, important, and pragmatic all at the same time.

For example, say "I deeply care about free and open source software. As part of my compensation package, I expect your XYZ company to donate $$$ to MyCause."

> Humans are more afraid of gun violence than car accidents.

Well maybe we wouldn't be so afraid of gun violence if the media wasn't such a fear-mongering agenda-driven political entity.

Maybe we should regulate the media instead of guns.
There have been numerous well-known problems with the Java and Python standard libraries over the years. For instance, the date/time classes in Java were a disaster for a long time, and Python has taken decades to converge on a nearly-good-enough treatment of strings.
The Chocolate Chip Cookie Company
A (somewhat anonymous, throw away account) open letter to Apple
I work for a small company that is a staunch Apple Mac shop (a decision I participated in and still approve).

We are all worried about about the news that Apple's upcoming operating system macOS Sierra will start to include desktop synchronization. Using both laptops and desktops we would, in principle, welcome desktop synchronization. However, none of us believe Apple has the desire, commitment, experience, or technology to make synchronization reliable over a long term. We worry we are going to start losing files after this service is started and likely made difficult to opt-out of.

Each and every member of our group has been burned again and again with low-quality Apple "syncing solutions." Each of us has repeatedly encountered many of the following: failure to sync, lost records, duplicated records, long credential server outages, strange renaming of endpoints, and weird spamming of sync credentials in the keychain. Apple synchronized services that have continually bit us include iCloud, Calendar, keychain, iTunes, and Photos.

We ask that Apple if Apple is going to supply filesystem synchronization they do the following. Make it truly optional, without nag/tricks to get it turned on. Commit to making it work, partner with somebody who is good at distributed cloud services. Document if the cloud aspect of the service is compatible with various data privacy policies. Offer substantial "file loss" insurance. State your policy of how much notice Apple will give before discontinuing the service.
It could be classified as a red herring. But I think he is trying to point out that the potential deaths a regulation will prevent does not correlate well with how much media coverage it receives.

We spent a lot of time talking about that balance. The thing to remember is that these conversations are happening in the context of an industry that's in structural decline. You have ever lower print revenues, and Facebook and Google taking 80%+ of the spend that's moving to digital. And then you have a sales culture incentivised on short-term outcomes. In that environment it becomes really hard to turn down a buck.

My two cents right now would be that consumer revenues (people paying you directly) is probably the only way to run a profitable generalist news company. That, or have the backing of a nation state (BBC) or philanthropic institution. If you want to run a business from ads on the internet, you need a great case for why you're a better option than Facebook, and most news companies just can't make that case.
I was deploring the fact that the debate is being reduced to the direct effects on humans, instead of considering the whole ecosystem. Saying that herbicides are "harmless to the majority of the human population" is not only a gross simplification that is false on many levels, it also misses the point.
The Truth Behind the Big Exceptions Lie

Truth About Gun Control with Statistics & Visuals [video]
All lives are equal, but all fears aren't. Since we pass laws for the benefit of humans, it is fitting and proper to consider what they fear in the cost assessment. The ultra-rational approach you describe might appeal to the HN crowd, but there's nothing wrong with noticing what kinds of laws make us feel safer and preferring them.

Fear affects lives. Fear matters. Why wouldn't it?
I'm apalled when HN threads like this pop up.

Here's the outside perspective: You're working for them for free. No, sorry, you have a handshake but good luck taking them to court with that.

If you want to continue work for them and do it just for equity, you can get around minimum wage rules by being "self employed" on paper and contracting out to them. You'll have to do your own paperwork but this is also a good thing. You can invoice them for equity.

A handshake is only worth the paper it's written on.
An unpaid invoice is something you can action.
Is this even a solvable problem?

Imagine a human PA who knows you really well. You'll still have to clarify what you want from him/her a good fraction of the time.

I suspect AI lives in a special kind of uncanny valley where we're less tolerant of mistakes and imperfections than we would be if we were telling humans to attempt the same tasks.

I'm not sure why this is, but it could be because in spite of all the bugs and failures, we still expect computers to be far more predictable and reliable than humans.

If AI doesn't match the expectation, it's perceived as more frustrating and less useful than perhaps it really is.
And some people pay thousands to have them those things explained
Both, but mainly access to firearms, though if a person can't get a gun, they will use bombs or arson. I don't know what the answer to gun control is, but I do think its more of a social problem than a gun problem.

I find the idea in tech that "ads don't affect us" to be baffling. As others have pointed out, it's ridiculously effective and money well spent.

I think in very few cases (maybe Amazon ads are an exception) ads cause people to go out and immediately buy things -- but with constant exposure over time, the likelihood that you're going to buy something goes up.

Seriously, this is an entire profession, it's not voodoo, people aren't just sheeple, it works.

Much in the same way that research has shown (pretty conclusively) that exposing yourself to violent television over and over again makes you more violent and less concerned with violence happening around you.
We're a small company, about 150 folks, but our core api is node and we process 10-20bil external requests per month depending on season. Not exactly an enterprise and we have always been a NoSQL shop so YMMV.
Our site is years old and needs a refresh but there's a lot of nuance in this.

Native is a complicated term that gets overused but the way we see it is a combination of look/feel + context + behavior. Most "native" ads today are just the look/feel but crappy irrelevant content that makes no sense on the site or isn't content at all but just takes you to some sales landing page like any other banner ad.

However, there can be good quality content (educational, informative, entertaining, and not just primarily selling) that happens to be sponsored by a brand. Native isn't about tricking the user but about being unobtrusive. The same way you would skip a news headline you're not interested in, you would skip a native ad placement as well (at least this is how it should work).

People read what they want to read and sometimes it's advertising. There's nothing wrong with that. What we do is make sure everything is properly labeled (to FTC standards) and user-initiated so that users know what it is and make their own choice - and I believe transparency and choice are the best things we can offer.

Despite setting several security-related session configuration values, they don't touch the cookie entropy fields, which means a potential session fixation vulnerability.

They've done that numerous times in the past.

Even people who NEED a car have to be licensed to operate one, and there are consequences if you use one without. Perhaps people should be licensed to have guns as well?

The FCC has existing complaint-based, investigatory, and other enforcement mechanisms, which have been around for a long time, and have been available to use (e.g., complaints have been accepted) under the Open Internet Order since it was issued (heck, they've had successful enforcement actions under the part of the old [2010] Open Internet Order -- the transparency rule -- that weren't struck down in Verizon v.

It's worse than that IMHO.

They dislike "deceptive" adverts. So for example, if it's an image, saying "download" then Google will block your website.

Who knows, maybe in the future they'll start banning websites that advertise gambling or other things they dislike.

Now I do think that adverts like that are irritating, and deceptive, but should the website that happens to be using an ad-network, that allowed an advertiser to upload an image that says "download", be blocked so that users cannot access it from Chrome and firefox? Of course not. Censorship in browsers is just not a good thing going forward. And pretty much every ad-network (Even adsense) has problems keeping out bad adverts. I don't see why Google should penalise website owners for an advertising-industry-wide problem.

IMHO It should be investigated by governments, as it's a clear case of using their muscle to retain their absolute monopoly of online advertising.
What are some practical approaches (i.e. without regulating firearms) we can take to tackle this problem? We know that there is no way to change gun laws in the US, so it feels like that particular debate is pointless in the midst of a crisis. If we avoid this debate (at least for a time) we might be able to point our efforts towards achievable policy that could really save lives even if it isn't "perfect".

I used bookshelves a couple years ago and while it was very good on paper, I quickly ran into a lot of quirks and bugs for advanced usage.

There was an obvious lack of resources to develop it, and after contributing to it a bit I switched. Reliability is the #1 feature in an ORM in my opinion, and I didn't get that confidence from using bookshelves.

I later moved to sequelize, and it worked flawlessly from the get go, give it a try. You can compare the Github activity, you'll see it's thriving, and everything is much cleaner.

The performance is also way ahead, as last time I used it bookshelves relied on Backbone-esque models underneath, making it way slower for big nested queries.

SimTower was so fascinating as a problem.
Why don't people worry about cars as much as they should? There's a lot of research on how people perceive risks [1]. People are much more afraid of risks that are imposed externally (e.g. getting randomly shot) vs voluntary (driving). Catastrophic things (plane crashes) are feared more than chronic risks (car crashes). Control vs no control makes people less afraid of car crashes (since they are nominally in control). Risk vs benefit makes people less fearful of cars (since they benefit). Uncertainty makes people fear nuclear power and GMOs.

That was 100% the point of Net Neutrality. It is so that the Internet doesn't change. Otherwise we will have a barrier of entry for all the small businesses. The Internet is a free market that needs to stay that way.
CDC mortality statistics[1] show violent deaths (including those with firearms involved) have been trending down since the 70's. Gun ownership has gone up in that same period of time[2]. In fact, violent death is no longer in the top 15 ways to die. Accidents is #4, and sadly, Intentional self-harm (suicide) is #10.

We have a terrorist attack on US soil against a minority that is thrown off buildings, decapitated, and hung in other parts of the world because of who they are. Maybe people should focus on the who and why instead of demonizing the what.

I guess its easier to blame some object, but the object is not the problem. Ask the folks at the Boston Marathon a couple of years back. Ask the families of 9/11 victims.

Lol. Yesterday's event was a software event, a jam packed incredibly long one at that. It was so packed they didn't even have time to talk about all the changes to the app store, which is why Apple disclosed that info ahead of time.

Yes, because it's clearly the same thing, and it has the same problem.

Suppose the ISP owns or has some "unrelated" partnership with Pandora. Now the money Pandora is "paying" is just money the ISP is passing back to them under the table through the other relationship, and the ISP is really only disadvantaging Pandora's competitors because the ISP stands to collect some of the rents from thwarting competition.
No, you didn't get it. They won't host ads, but they'll have to upload things on their servers to compete with Google in terms of features (both Google Photos, and Google Now) (of course, they'll still do it with the holier-than-thou attitude). It's not that they've never taken complete U-turns anyway.

You have this backwards. The reason the media focuses on shootings and not daily car accidents is because they know which one we fear more. They didn't create the fear. They're exploiting it.

To add a bit of color here, Google is correct to exclude CSV vulnerabilities. There is no way (through this vulnerability) to compromise a Google host, a user account managed by a Google host or sensitive data associated with a user account.

As framed, this is kind of similar to using a Google web tool to edit an XML file, export it and compromise someone using external entity injection. In that context, you're not really compromising Google, and you're not using Google as a medium to automatically compromise many Google users at once. Google is only peripherally involved in the process.

What would qualify for a bounty is code/script execution on a Google host using a CSV file, maybe through something like Google Trends Correlate (https://www.google.com/trends/correlate). Either reflect the CSV contents in a publicly accessible location with a mismatched content-type or leverage an arbitrary file upload error to execute a malicious payload disguised as a CSV on the server. But just exporting a CSV from a Google host is not really a vulnerability in Google.

By the way, for people who are interested in bug bounties, it looks like the page I linked hasn't been updated since 2011. Might want to check it out.

There's a difference between the formats and the distribution systems.

Content has always been a good marketing tool, we're just starting to see a lot more of it with publishers setting up their own "agencies" to sell pieces written by the same teams but for advertisers. Some are actually really great (Netflix stories for example).

When it comes to distribution, there is just a lot that needs to be done for advertising. Part of the big draw for digital/online is all the data you can collect and analyze and use to optimize. Publishers usually do not have the technical resources to build this or manage and integrate with all the other thousands of systems that advertisers use. It's almost always worth it to have a vendor that specializes in the infrastructure so publishers can just focus on their own business.

However, because adblockers mostly work at the network interface level, the typical 3rd party javascript tag approach is very easy to disable, and self-published native content by publishers using the existing content management system is a good workaround. It's more of a stop gap then a long term approach though.
