What's the rational behind that though? If you had a charity, a free web game, a free book etc. concerning something people find offensive with the name "Super Mario" in it, many people would be legitimately confused if Nintendo was behind it which could cause harm.

"Do they have her address book? Did some app suck her contacts up to the cloud? Does she have spyware?"

These are all possible scenarios. It's also possible that someone else, who has both of you in their contacts list, has had their information stolen.

By the way, this kind of spam has been happening since long before apps and clouds, when people had e-mail clients on their PCs and viruses stole their local address books.

Why do you think remote working is easier to implement than actually used public transportation?

For a start, the latter one already exists on several cities.

And here's where enters the engineer, for making the public transportation more convenient than driving. Technology changes culture all the time - you just need to get it right (and yes, UX is a big part of getting it right).

But if you want to concentrate on remote work, you have my support. Just don't try to put other people down because their work isn't aligned with it.

Not saying they've not changed the world, but I find it an awful tall order comparing Snowden and Assange with Musk. Two of them fought the system by breaking the laws. One of them is likely the greatest entrepreneur in the history of business and wants to do world changing things for us as a species.

Again, not against the former two, but I don't think that is an apt comparison whatsoever.

The quickest example comes to mind is how much of a douchey move this is from Assange:

http://gizmodo.com/wikileaks-just-published-tons-of-personal...

And how Snowden was a patriot for uncovering the omniscient warrantless wiretapping, but he also released the means and methods for how the NSA does literally their job in hacking foreign intelligence targets.

Killing the opposition has a chilling effect on social progress.

The best course of action is to show the people who these politicians really are.

The best way to do that is to create a citizen controlled government offices dedicated to spying on our elected officials.

There's no need to jump straight into the deep end of tooling.

An iterative approach works really well here - do a brief survey of what tools there are and what problems they solve. Then, when that problem starts soaking up a lot of time, you can read up on the available tooling in greater detail.

There _are_ a vast amount of libraries in the js ecosystem, and it'll take time to fully understand all the different pieces.
It took me nearly 2 years to achieve an understanding of most of the buzzwords in that article (and even then, there are some I still haven't worked with directly).

In my personal experience, learning JS is very much a BFS process.

Unitron Hearing | Kitchener/Waterloo, Ontario, Canada | Full-time | Onsite

Unitron (a subsidiary of Sonova AG) is a well established but fast growing global company that designs and manufacturers really great hearing instruments. We also develop really great software to compliment our hearing devices – from software used in the production of hardware, to desktop software used by audiologists, and more recently mobile applications used directly by our patients. We never lose sight of the human side of our business - if you are interested in software development that improves the quality of life for others, look no further!

We are currently expanding our mobile applications team with positions at both the senior and junior levels. Our biggest need at the moment is build infrastructure – developing and supporting internal tooling that helps developers across several teams work more efficiently. We also have positions open across our full stack which involves a mix of languages and technologies such as modern C++ (C++14), Java, Swift, CMake and Gradle.

> How could valve motivate not making a game that would sell like hotcakes no matter how terrible it is?

I think it mostly boils down to Valve being a privately held company that is not under pressure to meet arbitrary quarterly financial targets. The article is quite clear that Gabe Newell gutted HL a few months before the original release date rather than deliver a game that wasn't quite "there" yet.

Additionally, if Valve have maintained their notoriously flat structure, HL3 will need to acquire critical mass /buy-in within Valve before it can make it out the door.

> Even if Valve decides against ever doing HL3, could they afford not to sell the franchise?

Yes, as long as Steam remains a money printing machine, they will not be desperate.

With Uber's massive political and PR operation, now I always wonder:

* Did Uber place or pay for the article?

I don't think it's sad, politics are supposed to change. Obviously you can be sad at specific changes, but the idea that political decisions in general can change is a good thing.

Yeah sorry, you're evidence sounded like the thing people usually put out when they say it's a race thing, and it's also not an entirely accurate analysis (in my opinion), which is why I posted that link. I'm in agreement with you. I don't think race is the underlying issue, or certainly not in the ways it's being portrayed as.
Unfortunately, many of them went on to build systems that constitute an actual "permanent record".

Report: More Than 400 Vulnerabilities Disclosed to ICS-CERT in 2015
I was under the impression that the Stanford Prison Experiment was not a reliable experiment due to a number of confounding factors. Introduction of bias by the lead researcher, influencing the participant's behavior is one such factor. In this way, the experiment is more of an example of how not to conduct research, more so than a reliable indicator on how power goes to people's heads.

Now, Google is no Samsung, but they're a long way from Apple or even Microsoft on the UX front - I disagree. Material ui is an order better then iOS or metro ux. Coming from Android iOS on my iPad felt like a dated os in terms of ui and ux was not that good as well.
> I've been on android for a while, so I'm sure I'm biased, but stock AOSP Android is pretty much perfect for me. Very minimal and aesthetically beautiful, but still powerful and customizable.

You can get AOSP on a lot of phones, you just have to be comfortable flashing a custom ROM.

I don't understand why anyone would pay iPhone prices for an Android phone. Even if the hardware quality is similar (which it won't be, because Apple SoCs are at least a generation ahead of everyone else) Android app quality is much worse.

I'm saying this as someone who has only ever used Android.

I just can't see the justification to spending this much money on a phone Google will drop support for after 2 years, in addition to never fixing some issues that are present at launch (look up the Nexus 4 camera reset issue, which Google never fixed).

I'm using a Xiaomi Redmi 2 I picked up new from AliExpress for $125 USD with free shipping to Europe, and I'm running Marshmallow via CM. Works perfectly, in fact most of the time it's better than $300-400 phones thanks to not being loaded to the gills with Google Apps crapware (seriously I have no use for Google Play Music, Books, News, etc)

Edit: for people down voting this, could you explain why? I've left my opinion here and if you disagree with it, I'd love to hear why. I don't believe I've stated anything factually incorrect.
The reason Assange publishes documents which may contain personally identifying information is a philosophical one. Unlike Snowden, who advocates censoring documents before release, Assange maintains that censorship can discredit documents in the court of law (tampering with evidence) and therefore abstains from doing so.
THERE was a farmer who lived in the countryside. He was a real jnani. He earned his living by farming, He was married, and after many years a son was born to him, whom he named Haru. The parents loved the boy dearly. This was natural, since he was the one precious gem of the family. On account of his religious nature the farmer was loved by the villagers. One day he was working in the field when a neighbour came and told him that Haru had an attack of cholera. The farmer at once returned home and arranged for treatment for the boy. But Haru died. The other members of the family were grief-stricken, but the farmer acted as if nothing had happened. He consoled his family and told them that grieving was futile. Then he went back to his field. On returning home he found his wife weeping even more bitterly. She said to him: "How heartless you are! You haven't shed one tear for the child." The farmer replied quietly: "Shall I tell you why I haven't wept? I had a very vivid dream last night. I dreamt I had become a king; I was the father of eight sons and was very happy with them. Then I woke up. Now I am greatly perplexed. Should I weep for those eight sons or for this one Hani?"

The farmer was a jnani; therefore he realized that the waking state is as unreal as the dream state.

// do something with data

Just tell them you have none because you haven't needed to use them yet, and tell them why you haven't needed them yet. It may be because you haven't built complex apps or it may be because you have found your own way of dealing with that complexity that didn't require those libraries. Use it as an opportunity to discuss what you can do. If they ask you for an interview anyway then you know that it's not a deal breaker.

Also realise that a lot of the time the requirements are really just a wish list. I was recently sent a job spec that "required" a year of Angular 2 experience. Rather unlikely, given that Angular 2 is still in beta.

Wow...are you implying Romania is just leeching off of the EU (Germany?) ? You are seriously thinking that Germany is the good guy here helping ungrateful Romania ?

Germany has benefitted way more from Romania than Romania has ever benefitted from German's (EU's) money.
Not only the german companies disrupted the economy of Romania (and other weak players), not only they imposed an enormous brain drain there but also have never ever paid as much money as they have take out of Romania (and others) during WW2.

You simply choose your current carrier so they know which brand of SIM to put in afaik. When you get to the final page choose "Pay in full" and you get the unlocked version.
