"Missing out on crucial information such as their reasons for pursuing new opportunities, what they’re looking for from a career standpoint, and what other companies they’re interviewing with can be a crucial indicator of whether or not they’re going to accept your offer."

Sorry, but if I'm interviewing with you, the list of other companies I'm interviewing with is none of your business.

"The companies with higher acceptance rates (from my own experience) have only offered a 24-48 hour deadline for the candidate to accept."

Sorry, but if you want to pressure me into making a major life decision in 24-48 hours, I don't want to work for you. Remember, if I'm a good candidate, I probably already have a job, and I have to carefully weigh the benefits of staying in a fairly good job vs. moving into an unknown situation (and perhaps a physical move to a different city). I'd need to talk it over with my significant other. If accepting the job has legal ramifications (e.g., non-compete clauses, questions about intellectual property that I develop on my own time, etc.), I'll need to schedule a meeting with my lawyer first to review the contract.
The time spent reading that 404 in this case means "the object ID isn't found" versus "this path doesn't exist" pretty much negates any benefit - you still have to include sub codes. Same for "access denied because token expired" vs "invalid token". Not mention all the stuff that'll get crammed into 400/500/503.

If your app is simple enough that all errors map 1:1 to HTTP, great. Or if it doesn't need that level of error management. Otherwise HTTP just confuses the issue.

Can you actually prove that anyone's life was ruined?

They mostly "reported" on sex tapes and other weird stuff, like the origins of Trump's hair. And my opinion, as I can imagine 99,9% of others, about Hogan's wrestling persona or skills has nothing to do with his out of wedlock shenanigans.

And if you see a 140MM win from a lawsuit for Hogan as a form of ruining someone's life, then by all means please have someone ruin my life the same way!!!

Historical reasons and network affects. Consider that even more than ever there is a small group of people at the top of the pyramid. And they and other hangers on want to be close to the action.

And seriously that zone along the coast range up the peninsula is a really sweet spot[1]. If you and your associates have to be somewhere it's really hard to beat. (not so nice for the middle class couple trying to buy a house where the schools are still good, or the guy commuting from Tracy)

But building more housing isn't against any city's interests, more housing means more tax revenue. The people who are likely to block this are the people who have made "fortunes" by seeing the value of their homes rise. I would argue that those people have more power statewide than they do in the denser cities where few people own their own homes.

Do you fail to see the problem here?

Having written a letter to the Brazilian Congress about (almost) this very issue (in connection with the CPI-Cibercrimes inquiry), I think some Brazilians may be surprised to know that the U.S. does not require ISPs to block connectivity to third-party foreign Internet sites that facilitate violations of U.S. laws, directly violate U.S. laws, or ignore U.S. court orders, as long as the ISPs themselves have no relationship with the sites. In fact, a proposal to begin doing so in copyright cases, known as SOPA/PIPA, was extraordinarily controversial in the U.S. and was effectively defeated. The U.S. legal system generally appears to accept that ISP blocking of third-party connectivity is simply not an available remedy, even in "clear" cases of legal violations.

That means that it is not universal or obvious that this kind of blocking would be practiced or accepted. (For example, if a Brazilian company ignored a subpoena from a U.S. court, there would not be a legal basis for the U.S. court to order ISPs to prevent Americans from accessing that company's services.)

Some portion of Brazilians think it is "obvious" that a government would never allow its citizens to access Internet services that allow or commit violations of local law, or are simply not subject to local jurisdiction at all. But it's not obvious at all.
There is no data. WhatsApp just passes the encrypted communication from your phone to another phone and that's it. It doesn't hold it.

The first couple times that WhatsApp was blocked in Brazil, the reason was that they denied access to certain logs.

This time, they explicitly mention they want encryption to be turned off and demand WhatsApp to reply to Brazilian requests in Brazilian terms. The problem is that WhatsApp, as stated before, do not operate in Brazil as has exactly zero obligation to answer Brazilians court orders.

Now it's time for the country to discuss, as are many other places in the world, where does the right to investigate crimes by prying into someone or some groups communications begins and where does the right to privacy of the population ends.

The Supreme Court judge who suspended the block argued that it violated basic rights of the people, which is good, but already there is talk of a political project to establish what those in power all over the world want: access to communications and access to the ability to punish those who don't obey, the later in the form of an obligation for the companies involved to have an arm in Brazil.
Secret in a way that they had to disclose this to Florida courts, because it was couple days before bankruptcy.

>“During the week ending June 10, 2016, at the same time that it was negotiating a DIP loan that has an effective interest rate near 30%, either Debtor or one of its affiliates made a payment of $200,000 in the form of a loan to the CEO for purposes of paying for personal bankruptcy counsel … The sole disclosure we found of this ‘loan’ was buried in a bullet point to an exhibit to Debtors’ motion for DIP financing. This loan was concealed from the Florida Court”

I doubt that. The amount of money Hogan will receive is impossible to be reasonably justified to amount of pain or embarrassment he has personally experienced because of said tape. I wouldn't be surprised if Thiel had huge footprint on Judge decision, which of course I cannot prove.
Even if it does then just don't tell people that you are going on vacation? I meanyour vacation isn't public knowledge or anything.
I think the assertion is that there's a pattern with wikileaks releases of late, specifically that most targeted countries and institutions happen to be adversaries of Putin and/or Russia.
It actually is about the quality of the journalism though, as the point was the "reporting" (gossip and 'mean girls'-esque harrassing) turned out to be illegal. Was Mother Jones accused of >illegal< reporting?
Gawker Media, along with Vice, Salon, Vox, Buzzfeed, HuffPo, etc., are left wing online publications. It has nothing to with GamerGate. It would take some impressive sophistry to claim they're not left wing, just as it would take quite some sophistry to claim Breitbart, Daily Wire, National Review, etc weren't right wing.

This statement is irrefutably true. However, the rest of your comment is either inaccurate factually or incorrect opinion. They didn't record the tape, and you are responding to my assertion that while they did wrong, the actual person who committed the "crime" (at lastly your analogy) settled for 5k vs. Gawkers 140m verdict. So, I find your argument to be a wholeheartedly emotional one, but not factual.

>I think $5,000 is a joke, this is a serious vulnerability...

I tend to agree. They should probably add a zero to that.

Obviously $5,000 is a lot of money, but not to Facebook, and especially not in the context of fixing serious vulnerabilities on a platform that has 1.65B users.

If Facebook paid more they'd enhance their security in the process, at the cost of what amounts to chump change for them.
I am assuming twitter would start suppressing non-verifed accounts in replies/searches ect.

Wouldn't this make arab spring style twitter revolutions impossible. How do you criticize your govt in countries where you could go to jail for what you say online. Just wondering if this has something to do with their notorious saudi investor.
Given how much you really, really have to screw around as a news organization to be liable, and let's not forget defying a judge (not in a proper appeal sort of way), they pretty much got what was coming to them.

In a different industry, ask Arthur Anderson about corporate capital punishment. Their ruling was vacated and they still died.
> Adults don't need to write down a code of conduct, because they adhere to an unwritten code of conduct. Children whinge, 'you shouldn't do that, because this says not to!'; adults don't do that, because they know that they oughtn't — and they refrain from associating with others who do. Children want their clique to gang up on the people they don't like; adults simply walk away from those people.

Because no adult has ever harassed another in a programming community? I would love it if everyone behaved politely and courteously, however this is not currently what is happening in some projects. Having a CoC is merely a preventative measure to curb bad behavior for those who can't self-police.
Interesting claim by the author (from the abstract of the referenced study): The trained evaluation function performs comparably to the evaluation functions of state-of-the-art chess engines - all of which containing thousands of lines of carefully hand-crafted pattern recognizers, tuned over many years by both computer chess experts and human chess masters. Giraffe is the most successful attempt thus far at using end-to-end machine learning to play chess.

I agree. I will say that a case could be made in a different set of circumstances where some action caused a plaintiff to not only lose money, but also a steep opportunity cost which had to be forgone.

Not the case here at all. Especially since, if kim kardashian is any indication, people in and attached to sex tapes profit significantly[0].

I took that as "they payout all bounties due weekly via an automated system instead of whenever accounting gets around to writing a check".
I agree that that's how it ought to be; I strongly disagree that that's how it is. Plenty of people are physically adults; a subset of those people are mentally adults. This is even worse in the world of tech forums and open source projects than it is in the world at large.

FWIW, I have yet to see a code of conduct that really says anything beyond "don't be a jerk, and act like a grownup". It might be silly if it also told me how to dress on Tuesdays and who to vote for, but in reality they rarely or never say anything beyond "don't be a jerk, and act like a grownup." I also have no problem with someone else reminding me of that, because I have to remind myself of that all the time. I don't know why anyone would be offended by such a thing.
Gawker defends progressive ideas and bashes conservative ideas.

Of course in a world where you can get kicked out of your job as a CEO of Mozilla for defending the traditional family, it may look like there's no other option.

HE.net's free tunnel broker is pretty awesome. They'll even speak BGP to you for free if you have your own allocation, which is no longer that expensive.

Furthermore, simply using IPv6 internally - and you can route it over the internet via VPNs etc - is a huge win.

E.g. you can give each docker container a globally routable address. Globally might be 'within your network', or perhaps you have translators from global IP space to your own internally routable space at the edge of the network.

Don't you have all this with v4? Sure, but not as easily. With v6 you can route subnets and re-route sub-subnets. And you can do this all day long without running out of address space. Doing that in v4 is much harder.
Good line of thinking - I don't have anything at the ready to really refute that reasoning other than some intuition about seeing some things before about short term vs. long term retention. Quick fixes that don't explain the mechanics can mask a lack of fundamental skills. Or, in more casual terms, it's like giving an angry Chimp a razor blade.

As you note, and I completely agree with, it's practice that helps keep the "their, there, and they're" type issues from becoming normal pitfalls. English is tough in that regard, and often confuses people trying to learn either as natives or ESL. I guess that's why I stress all the more knowing the rules is important, because many make sense until they get broken in dialect haha.
That's an interesting and downright sickening accusation.
Maybe. But for anyone to make money off it, they'd need to be willing to be or work with a criminal, right? If they are getting work done for the amounts paid, why pay higher?

I don't think anyone, left-or-right thinks of Denton as anything except a gossip peddler.

It is hard to judge, but the divisions in this case don't appear to be right vs left. It seems to me it has more been aligned with people's views on a right to free speech vs a right to privacy. There seem to have been plenty on the right who think that the right to free speech should have trumped the right to privacy in this case.

You link to C when you need speed, and that's not even usually necessary anymore in languages like JavaScript or Lisp. Linking to C doesn't let your code somehow abstract higher, to deal with larger projects and larger architectural scopes.
I agree when it comes to criticism in general, but the statement that it didn't serve US interests is quite specific. I think you ought to be able to at least handwave what could have been better. This isn't like criticizing the plot of a movie, where they didn't even have to make that movie to begin with, and "that movie was terrible, they might as well have just kept the money in the bank" is always valid in some way. Here, a choice had to be made, even doing nothing would have been doing something.

You say that the opportunity cost was huge. What are you comparing it to? "Opportunity cost" implies some other possibility that you're comparing against. How can you know the opportunity cost was huge if you have no idea what you're comparing against? Or do you know, and you just don't want to talk about it?
This was my experience as well. You don't want to give any student an advantage. This extends to when a student brings you a proof and wants to know if the proof works. You can't actually tell them, because that would leak information about the correct solution. So in some classes, any discussion of the assignment (beyond asking if something in the assignment is a typo or not) is forbidden.

What the US does or doesn't do is not relevant (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tu_quoque fallacy).

You're attempting to change the discussion from an analysis of Russia's historic motives in specific situations into an generalized anti-American polemic, because your analysis of Russia's motives was shown to be incorrect.

The people who seemed to be internationalists in Russia in the early 1990s were extremely weak and never actually in charge of the country. They couldn't have brought Russia into any sort of internationalist regime even if they had wanted to. They were totally unable to contain the criminal syndicates within Russia who actually ran things during their nominal rule, and then they were totally unable to avoid their own removal from power by Putin.

The United Nations is a joke. It has been an utter failure from the start. Countries large and small, powerful and weak, ignore it with impunity whenever they feel like it. It is little more than a debating society for intellectual bureaucrats who like to make themselves feel important by issuing thousand page reports that nobody ever reads except other UN bureaucrats.

Why on earth would the US, Russia, or anyone else want to strengthen that mass of bureaucratic dysfunction?

Fantasies of a worldwide internationalist government are long dead, and for good reason.

Further replying since the sibling is dead:

"First, Gawker has indemnified Denton, meaning that it has agreed to pay his legal tab. So theoretically, a judgment against Denton becomes Gawker's liability. But Hogan says that this indemnification agreement specifically precludes anything Denton does that constitutes misconduct or gross negligence. Hogan asserts that what the jury in the sex-tape case concluded qualifies as such and means Denton isn't indemnified. And even if otherwise, Hogan still doesn't believe this merits an injunction."

It's definitely not proven problematic. Of course Hogan's lawyers are complaining about it, but it's not contentious that Gawker had indemnification in place.
Actually, Gawker and Denton are the assholes. When confronting assholes, it's easy to be mis-perceived as one.
Currently, most of the links within this thread are becoming rabbit holes for me.
This advice applies to a lot more than just startups. Any time you're asking someone for (real) money -- grants, etc -- the evaluation will be like this:

1) What are you proposing to do? (proposal)

2) Will it make any difference? (market/impact)

3) Can you get it done? (personnel/environment)

That's it. If you can't knock every one of these out of the park in a few short sentences, you are unlikely to be funded by either the private or public sector.

And before anyone remarks on how different the two are, note that the SBIR/STTR program is mandated by Congress to pay out every penny of their granting budget each year to try and turn publicly-funded research into privately successful companies.
I should add, for the benefit of anyone that reads this in hindsight, that I actually very much endorse the question that this work seems to be asking:
