Why We're Launching JobHack.org
Yeah, but "stealing" them isn;t the NSA's only avenue to acquire them. With Lavabit they just said "give us the keys so we can snoop all we want" - I suspect very few of us would be able to resist like Levinson did (as in, shut your company and livelihood down, and hope they don't throw you in jail for doing so). (Fortunately, most of us won't have users with as much heat coming down on them as Snowden, but if you're building _anything_ privacy related you owe it to yourself to consider how far you'd go to protect your users if one of them turned out to be another Snowden...)

Fascinating!

I recall eating the best bananas I've ever had when I was in the Dominican Republic. They were a little short and thicker, but much denser and more moist (made the US Cavendish seem dry and lightweight in comparison) with a great flavor. I don't know what variety they would have been.

I'm curious as to why more varieties are not available globally. I guess I'll have to wait for the next part.

There isn't much (or any) research on the effects of PFAs on humans, only on lab animals, so we really don't know anything about its toxicity to us. What we do know, however, is that these organic molecules have an extremely rare combination of characteristics: they are unbelievably stable (they seem to be both both hydrophobic and hydrophillic), they can bind to a significant fraction of common proteins indiscriminately, and there exists no biological mechanism that can effectively filter them out. Even though we don't yet know how toxic the compounds are, we do know that this behavior creates a perfect shit storm because not only do these molecules interfere with basic biochemistry but also bioaccumulate though environmental exposure (drinking contaminated water) and the food chain.

The closest analogy would be prions which are also very stable, interfere with the basic function of proteins, and can accumulate through a variety of exposure vectors. The difference is that prions coevolved with the rest of our ecosystem whereas PFAs are entirely synthetic and do not exist in nature. It's unlikely that these molecules are as toxic as arsenic (which wrecks havoc by replacing phosphorus in DNA and the Krebs cycle) but this rather unique combination of circumstances requires an extreme level of caution.

>> Why push the complexity onto the user? Someone who just wants to make a working website doesn't care about your pedantry.

Because this approach has historically resulted in people who "just wanted to make a working website" making websites that only work in specific browsers (or worse yet, specific versions of specific browsers on specific platforms). And then those sites stuck around and infrastructure got built around them that made them hard to fix.

We've spent the best part of 00s fixing that mess, and there are still some pockets that haven't been properly cleaned up. If that's not a lesson to learn from, I don't know what is.
the fact that it encodes "/" on a part of the url in a parameter, but not on another is a very good indication that whatever this 'feature' is doing is badly thought out and the implementation was done by the intern.

> I think he had a point that when you let government control something it is the worst kind of monopoly and the quality is bound go down the drain. Whether it VA affairs, public education or IRS.

Thats not necessarily true. Certainly outside the US there are many, many public institutions which do fantastic work. The ABC here in Australia and the BBC in the UK produce great television. The ACCC (Australian Competition and Consumer Commission) are highly regarded here, as was CSIRO before the government gutted their funding (CSIRO is an Australian government research group which invented parts of wifi).

I don't know if the reputation US government agencies have for incompetence is real or due to media spin, but the problem is obviously not inevitable. To quote Bill Clinton: "The problem with ideology is that it gives you the answer before you've asked the question".

In Robert Gordon's book he points out that GDP growth was not well measured in the industrial revolution either until things had stabilized and after a lot of the big improvements in life had happened.

Look at infant mortality and mortality to 5 years old in 1800 vs 1850 vs 1900 vs 1950 or so. How much is it worth not watching your children die?

The addition of water and sewage into housing had a huge impact. Dramatically reducing the labor required to live and dramatically reducing disease.

Look at life in 1800 vs 1900 and the percentage working on a farm. It was probably an improvement to live in a town or city and not have to get up at dawn and work in a low productivity farm.

Look at how life expectancy shot up. How much is it worth looking at your grandchildren grow up?

Sure, since 2000 we have vastly better internet connected phones and social networks and it isn't well measured. But what wasn't well measured in the past was probably worth more and was more important for people's lives.
Feminists have selected against male aggressive behavior in our education systems for decades. They have "successfully" ruined the lives of countless western boys and laid the foundation for immigrants from non-castrated cultures to take their stead with redoubled aggression. Turns out that it's much easier to beat boys into submission than it is to subvert female attraction to dominance.

It's not necessarily about "bad style". It's possible to share legitimate reasons for leaving a company if asked in an interview, but you have to be careful. It's really bad to turn it into a time to badmouth another company.

It is frankly risky to say anything bad about a previous company, because even something minor like, "management micromanaged too much" could be interpreted by a cynical interviewer as "this person doesn't get anything done and whines when someone asks him what he's doing with his time." But even a good interviewer will take it as a bad sign if you spend five minutes enumerating everything you hate about your previous/current employer.

The HTTP spec exists to help you interact with resources in a specific way.

In my experience, the "shoddy REST" the original commenter is talking about usually involves developers ignoring the design principles behind HTTP and trying to pretend like they can't or don't need to map their organization's domain model to HTTP's resource model. This typically happens because they either don't understand how to do this, don't have time, or think that the effort involved to rethink their model isn't worth the effort.

What they end up with is a cobbled-together mess of endpoints that perform unintuitively specific functions constructed in the language of a system that wasn't designed to work that way.

A really good example of this might be a blog API. Which is better?

POST /entries/<id>/publish

or

PATCH /entries/<id> with a request body of { published: true }

The POST seems more immediately intuitive to the API developers, because they can just add all publish-related tasks in the publish route handler or controller and call it a day. But the PATCH is more immediately intuitive to the API consumer, because they probably understand that entries have a "published" field (this gets more into hypermedia and semantics and beyond the scope of this post), and that PATCH allows them to change a field, and that if "published" is true then the entry is live.

A good analogy is trying to construct your own special-purpose language using English words, but with totally new meanings and purposes for each word, then expecting to communicate with others in this language. It superficially looks like English, but cannot be understood without volumes of documentation explaining how it is different.

One nice thing about diabetes (if such a thing can be said) is exactly that the blood sugar monitors are available OTC and are fairly cheap. Test strips are kinda pricey, but if you just need one batch for a few initial tests, it's not too big a deal.

So yeah, if you're worried, you can test yourself and get a reasonably idea of whether you have an issue or not. That doesn't mean you shouldn't still go to a doctor, especially if the readings are high. But if you test yourself 10 times and never get a reading over 100 (just to make up an example) it's pretty safe to assume you're not diabetic (note: this is not medical advice). It's a little bit harder to confirm diabetes though, as even a non-diabetic person can see brief spikes in their blood glucose - in particular after eating a meal with a high glycemic load. Generally speaking, it's probably best to test yourself when you've been fasting for a while, perhaps when you first awaken in the morning.

OTOH, if you get any reading over, say, 200 or so, it's very, very, very likely that you're diabetic. A non-diabetic person will almost never see a reading that high, even after chugging a bottle of Coke or something.

The other good thing about diabetes, IF it's type two, is that it is often treatable without insulin injections and may even be treated with nothing but diet changes and exercise (eg, weight loss).

The southern part of India, where I'm from, has many varieties of bananas which aren't available if you travel a couple of hundred kilometers up north. One particular variety, which is locally called "Matti" is very small, but is the sweetest banana I've eaten. Always wonder why its availability isn't widespread!
Sincere praise!

There probably isn't any single symbol-glyph composing five-or-fewer lines that isn't "very old and all over"; there are only so many possibilities on the low end of complexity. It's still a matter of original design to think of using a particular symbol-glyph to visually represent a previously-unsymbolized thing in a new domain.
Oh, there are managers who learned their managing lesson that they should show care for the employees and will tell them this very sentence.

... And at the same they remind you about the deadline twice a day, ask you for an estimate thrice a day, and tell you should speed up because you won't be allowed to miss the deadline.

This is worse than just putting pressure on someone. This kind of contradictory orders, of double binds, drives you crazy. Not only are you now afraid of failing the deadline, but you are also afraid of failing the 'hours check', for you know pretty well that they are incompatible.

It also shows that the first advice was just fake, they don't give a damn about it, they just read somewhere that a good manager should say that so they say that, but they have no intent to build up the conditions so that it can happen.
"stealing" is the only path the NSA can take in the case of ProtonMail, due to their servers being hosted in Switzerland and not within the borders of a nation that has a strong relationship with the US intelligence community.

You have some compelling examples of problems from leniency. I think in some cases the issues are definitely magnified by other poor designs (bad escaping/filtering) but you've demonstrated that well-intentioned leniency can encourage and even directly cause bugs.

Thanks for providing actual, concrete examples.

> So it's tax-payers who have the final say (through elected officials).

And currently, that taxpayer money is going to for-profit companies. What I propose is better.

> The editors must be independent of the funding agencies to ensure quality of the research

While often well-meaning, editors have almost no role in quality control. That is in hands of academics who review the work. So the review process is already independent of the funding agencies.

> The general population would get the research that was steered by a small group of people from funding agencies

Again, publishing is already steered by a small group of people who are independent of the funding agencies, the reviewers.

> I don't even want to think about private funding agencies commissioning an article to further their own economical interests

What? The vast majority of funding agencies are non-profits who genuinely want to help the world. They are motivated to produce research towards AIDS, alternative energy, etc. They are economically motivated? Relative to the for-profits who currently control the academic publishing world?

"In the end, Walmart won against Kmart and today is a $231B giant but as of now, it has a smarter and more agile competitor - Amazon.com. Will Walmart survive the shift to e-commerce? Only time will tell. Agility, being customer-centric and continous refinements made Walmart a retail giant and it seems the same philosophy made Amazon the champion of E-commerce."

Walmart will likely remain competitive for the future, because e-commerce will never fully replace online shopping. Sometimes you need it right now, and sometimes you just don't want to buy it online, you need the intangibles of touching, feeling and seeing the object you wish to buy in person.

You are correct about the initial first time build delay, and it is done for each separate project. After playing with Intero on one of my stack based projects, I took the background time effort to pre-build all of my projects while exercising. Then, there is no delay (until I start a new project).

Stack has changed my development workflow, in a very positive way, and I love Intero (at least in the first 24 hours of use).

I'm glad you pointed this out. That's way mal-informed for how you'd build that DOM in clojurescript. I mean, you _could_ do it that way, but there are libraries (like hiccup) that make it more natural.

Here's an example of a react component from the re-agent tutorial (http://reagent-project.github.io/), e.g., but you'd build straight html in the same-ish way using a library:

(defn simple-component []
[:div
[:p "I am a component!"]
[:p.someclass
"I have " [:strong "bold"]
[:span {:style {:color "red"}} " and red "] "text."]])
I was responding to the general assertion that people who are unhappy should be discounted because they are the ones who are going to complain. That's a value judgement.

I wasn't being condescending. There are a lot of engineers who have low self esteem (that's not a value judgement- too high self esteem is bad, as is too low, but "low" means "Lower than their value as a person", eg: they under value themselves. I'm not devaluing them.) And there are a lot of people who just aren't too picky about their workplace. I think that many of them are people early in their careers who don't know that they're being mistreated as poorly as they are.

Before I worked at Amazon I heard many stories from people who worked there about how terrible it was. I foolishly discounted them, and went to work there anyway, in large part because I undervalued myself, (eg: low self esteem effectively) and I was not being as picky as I should have been.

Just because people made the same mistake I did and might have felt the company was ok, because thy didn't have the alternative experiences I did, doesn't mean I'm wrong.

I consider you to have turned my comments about the topic to the person, by making a condescending characterization of me that was unwarranted by my comments.
If you buy the argument that "tech worker" is a proxy for "white male"[0] then this amounts to the city requiring housing discrimination by landlords: Combined, Seattle ordinances require that landlords offer benefits to certain minorities and now require that equivalent benefits not be offered to certain non[-visible]-minorities. This does absolutely nothing to actually solve the housing crisis, which is the only way non-tech-workers won't be priced out to the detriment of us all.

The "backdoor" isn't the package that got leaked, it's the private key that signed the package. Without the key, the deployed packages wouldn't be serviceable in case a real exploit was found. Without a serviceability plan, they couldn't have released Secure Boot. So the question isn't whether there was a back door - there had to be a back door - it's whether Secure Boot is a legitimate thing to have.
