Wunderlist. Lightning fast sync across devices, a webapp that is indistinguishable from the local app, a free version is more than I could ask for, 4-5 features that are neatly organized/appropriately available, and even the sound it makes when I check off a task gives me joy.

I still don't grok the dos and don'ts of NSLs and canaries, but that document establishes the origin of the range 0–249, which is expressly permitted. See also: https://canarywatch.org/faq.html

I suspect they would not be using the 0–249 band if they were not gagged by a previous order. My uninformed interpretation is that they have received an NSL or FISA order, but not necessarily in 2015. So the 2015 number might be zero after all.

Maybe someone more informed could confirm or debunk this interpretation.

Working on anything "merely" requires you to convince other people that you should be able to do so. Meaning most likely a degree of some sort, good communication skills and being ambitious. Actually accomplishing something in a field is a vastly different thing.
> * 5ESS line cards are pretty distinct sounding. They'll make weird noises whenever you go offhook, have a slightly higher noise floor then most line cards, and a very strange frequency response. This doesn't necessarily apply if you're using a line served out of a channel bank or something, but the line cards can give a very different experience on the phone network sometimes.

5E analog line cards are (as far as I know) are all concentrated at one level or another (think 4:1, 10:1, etc) - which means there is an analog cross point switch to tie your line up to a codec - when your line goes into permanent signal, you'll be linked up to what appears to be an analog announcement trunk, as to avoid tying up any of the TDM bandwidth on the switch.

Whereas DMS100's are codec per line, and are not concentrated in the same way. I think GTD-5's are also similar to the DMS and codec per line.

When you go off hook on a 5E you can her tick-ta-tick-tick-dialtone as it sets up the link thru the analog switching fabric - this seems to be universal to all 5E's - the 5E2000 sounds different, and I believe uses different ckt packs to do the switching, but fundamentally appears to work the same way (I've not had a chance to sit on a 5E2000 line to get permanent signal to confirm that).

This is probably a good time to use Occam's Razor. Assuming that it was malicious bias is a big assumption when the more logical conclusion is that the journalist simply did not know how Google trends works (or how to read a graph without a numerical scale on it). If the journalist wrote the article after reading the original post we could draw a different conclusion but without knowing that it is safer to assume ignorance instead of malice.

And bottles are used for holding liquids rather than smashing heads... until you find yourself in a bar fight.

I might be wrong, but I think the parent had something like this in mind:

Assuming you are encrypting with AES-CFB your each plaintext block P[i] produces a ciphertext block C[i] (with key K and initialization vector IV) according to rule:

C[0] = AES_encrypt(K, IV) ^ P[0],
C[i] = AES_encrypt(K, C[i-1]) ^ P[i].

Given that IV is assumed to be known by the attacker, if the plaintext is a vanilla-compressed stream, it is more likely than not that most of bits in P[0] are going to be known as well, which might allow some sort of prunned brute-force attack on key K, given a small set of (C[0] ^ P'[0]), for all P'[0] that satisfy the known bits in P[0].

This particular implementation would benefit then from adding a pseudorandom P[0] block (a "salt", if I understood correctly) that the receiver is to discard on arrival. I don't know enough cryptanalysis to tell if the above scenario is valid or not, but it sounds like a legitimate question at least.

> Today, Evernote announced a change to its pricing plan alongside a new limitation for its free service. Both the Plus and Premium paid tiers get a price bump while the Basic plan now restricts you to just two devices.

> The biggest sting is the fact the free Basic plan now limits you to two devices per account, like a computer and a phone, two computers, or a phone and a tablet. You’re also still limited to just 60MB of uploads a month. The Plus plan is now priced at $3.99/month, up from $2.99/month (or $34.99/year), while the Premium plan bumps up to $7.99/month from $5.99/month (or $69.99/year). The price increase comes from what Evernote says is a “significant investment of energy, time, and money.” If you’re affected by the price change, look out for an email from Evernote letting you know what to do. The price change won’t go into effect until after August 15, 2016.
Nothing they have disclosed has caused me to stop investing in their loans. In fact you can get some nice high grade loans on their secondary market from people trying to unload their portfolio at a 3-5% discount to face value.

Disposable Anonymous Email – Keep Out from Spam
This is a shame, I love using Evernote but not enough to pay $50USD/year for it. I use it as a reference point for various software/commands and it's quite convenient that it sync's across all my devices. The encrypted text feature is handy for sensitive information too.

Dropbox with encrypted sparsebundles is a convenient enough replacement though.
A lot of times employers say "This is industry standard." or "Everyone else has the same sort of agreement."

If such a website listed companies that good/no non-compete clauses, it gives ammunition for prospective employees. Esp people with multiple offers, during the negotiation, the candidate can point to a competing offer from a company with no non-compete clause.
Don't Design Your Emails
I think I follow, and I agree. How I view the natural numbers on this fundamental level – and I would say it is the picture that the Peano axioms nail down – is as consisting of a first element and then an infinite chain of elements after it (equivalently: the natural numbers are a chain that extends infinitely in one direction but not in the other). As you say, it does not matter, then, if that first element is called "0", "1", or "17" (until we bestow additional structure on the numbers by introducing addition and multiplication operators).

That isn't really a solution, because most employees are ignorant or don't care about noncompetes.

If you don't sign the noncompete, the company very well might recind your job offer.

The REAL solution is when you leave a company, you just completely ignore the non-compete, and do whatever the hell you want.

It is enormously risky for a company to go after former employees, especially engineers.

It costs time, money, and for all they know, the former employee saved a bunch of passwords and is crazy, and will cause a million dollars in damages.

If you break a non-compete, the chances of someone actually going after you is exceedingly slim, due to how dangerous you COULD be if you wanted.
We can delay the problem far more than a few decades. A lot of scientific equipment is now recycling helium, for example. It doesn't typically get consumed like oil or natural gas (it is inert, after all) so we can get by with our relatively fixed supply if we are smart about it. Which is why some people get really upset about the utter squandering of He.

>What problem is this trying to solve? Having a single webpage with full control of the device, but limiting how many resources the ads on it can take?

Restricting ad resource usage is the only non-niche answer I've imagined. You could make arguments that games could prioritize input/networking over refresh rate using something of this sort, but it seems like there should be a better mechanism for those kinds of applications -- especially since this proposal would require you to separate your JS into multiple subresources to take advantage of it AFAICT.

Assuming their motivation was in fact to restrict resource usage by ads, I'm not sure this is the right way to go about it. Perhaps if your ad network can't serve resource efficient ads you should change ad networks (or pressure your current ad network to improve).
Folders? It's extremely quick to index whole drives, so I'd just let it do just that.

This just makes your comment lose all credibility to me, I'm afraid:

> I would not however get a taxi simply because I don't know the number to call, I don't know when they'll arrive at my house, and simply the entire taxi experience is just horrible.

You don't know the number? Really? If you have a mobile device from which to use Lyft, then getting the number is completely and entirely trivial.

While there is some variability in taxi arrival time (just as there is with Lyft or Uber arrival time), taxis typically are no later or more difficult to estimate. You just tell them when the taxi should arrive and that's when it will be there. There are even many apps for tracking taxis on a map interface. Those apps mostly only work in large cities, but it's easy to see they will expand to many other cities, certainly a city of the size of SLC.

You say "the entire taxi experience is just horrible" but your two biggest complaints are that you don't know the number (and apparently can't be bothered to look it up one time and add it to your contacts) and you don't know when they'll arrive (even though you tell them when to arrive, that's when they arrive, and their variability is not significantly different than Uber or Lyft variability).

I'm not able to make any sense of this if it's intended to be a criticism of the taxi experience in SLC.

We regularly have math and science competitions between these kinds of schools. (And of course, my school is better than theirs. ;)

That's not really true. More than 5% of engineers work on Android and Chrome, neither of which are developed in the core repo. There are a wide variety of other teams that choose to not work in the core repo for a wide variety of reasons.
Any reasonably sized company is going to have the dollars and IT smarts to not worry about former employees causing damage (passwords, keycard access, etc. are all immediately cut off on the day of leaving.. and any actual damage someone does is grounds for a likely felony-level criminal case with years behind bars). As others have mentioned they don't even need to take people to court to enforce a non-compete--just the fact that a former employee is under a non-compete is enough to scare away and stop potential new employers (read the comments on this page to see examples of this). By making the non-compete something the company has to pay for it pushes it more into the realm of only applying to people that absolutely need it (high level executives, critical engineers, etc.) and who will be compensated while under it.

So, California hasn't done anything yet, and the thing it is considering doing isn't anything remotely like hitting the brakes on HSR.

So not only does exercise improve blood circulation thereby improving oxygen and nutrient delivery body wide, exercise improves lymph flow thereby assisting in removing metabolic waste products from the interstitial fluid. Also, the lymphatic system can be considered an immune organ, so exercise improves the immune response.
