There is a big difference between "does violate" and "appears to violate".

The orbital motion of Mercury "violates" Newtonian gravity. There are other examples but I'm not trying to make a history lesson. I just want to point out, that science moves forward by impartial investigation of EVERYTHING. It's misguided to assume we know all and that there cannot be some thing we don't understand.

I'm as sceptical as anyone else about the EM Drive, but I want to understand "what the heck is going on with this thing that appears to move" more than I want to dismiss it as "not possible and obviously flawed because $ABC"

There are plenty of possible ways the drive could operate, and if it does work, it has the potential to significantly advance several fields of physics in a way no less valuable than other large expensive "hope this works" experimental physics experiments that no one is complaining about.
Oh deer Jesus
The article doesn't mention all of the alleged offenses regarding the lawsuit. There's definitely more than just a "spying program" here:

* Restrict the Googlers’ right to speak, right to work, and right to whistle-blow.

* Prohibit Googlers from speaking plainly – even internally – about illegal conduct or dangerous product defects, because such statements might one day be subject to discovery in litigation or sought by the government.

* Prohibit Googlers from telling a potential employer how much money they make, or what work they performed, when searching for a different job.

* Prohibit Googlers from using or disclosing all of the skills knowledge, acquaintances, and overall experience at Google when working for a new employer.

* Prohibit Googlers from speaking to the government, attorneys, or the press about wrongdoing at Google.

* The policies even prohibit Googlers from speaking to their spouse or friends about whether they think their boss could do a better job.

There were alleged training practices, policies, and documents outlining these offenses and they are written up pretty plainly in the suit itself[1]. Makes for better, more detailed reading, than this Engadget piece.

Reading code well is table stakes for me. Writing code well isn't always, but if I hire someone who doesn't write code well it's because I'm betting they can learn to and already have a really solid dev who can pick up the slack.
I just counted my open tabs in Opera 42, and quit it so I could see the memory use.

799 open tabs. 8.5GB. Restarted in around 10 seconds and it's currently using around 2GB. "Delay loading of background tabs" is checked, which I believe is the default now.

Not had any serious responsiveness problems. The browser extension I use to give me a list of tabs on my sidebar is a little slow when opening a new window, that's about it.

Correct - Casey believes that the drive is impossible, given our understanding of physics. Given his background and credentials, I'm happy to defer to his opinion on the matter, over my own optimism.

Both he and I are firm believers of the scientific method though, so if researchers can show it experimentally then that's where the fun really begins. To my knowledge, the experiments until now have been fairly poor, with barely significant results (on the edge of noise).
I'm pretty sure that fapjacks believes that the reactionless drive is possible, and all of the "No, this is silly" folks are just contrarian deniers who are holding back progress.

Gotta love starry-eyed futurology people.
Linode makes me email then a copy of my drivers license. That's at least a start. My preference would be to allow more sophisticated mechanisms if verifying identity. For example, since I'm in SF and amazon has representation here, have me go to their office and show them my ID. Or even better (for bigger clients), send someone to our office on record and seek out the person desired. Another method might be alternative (secret) emails vs the one on the account, or 1 time generated codes you have to print out.

Basically the MFA in the end is a gimmick since phone and email is all you need. Carriers often can be socially engineered to forward numbers or change sims, and email obviously can be hacked. Might as well just text + email instead -- didn't need to buy this $40 device.

Apple Releases Firmware Update for AirPort Base Station
They actually got some of this article wrong. These guys didn't create 6,000 domains. They spoofed 6,000 different premium domains in the referer that they sent to the ad networks. A list of the fake referrers they had their bot send is here [1] and the domains are here [2]. They didn't own these domains; they simply told their bot to use one of the 250K or so URLs on one of these 6K premium domains (including domains like nbc.com, nytimes.com, etc) as the referrer, which is set by the browser.

The more concerning part is that it didn't raise any red flags on the ad exchanges that some random corporation was getting paid to display ads on nbc.com and nytimes.com etc. That part makes no sense to me. They also managed to purchase blocks of IPV4 addresses in the names of major residential ISPs such as Comcast. That part had to be an inside job.

No, the advertisers are choosing not to pay the content creators. By blocking or using auto clickers the users are only choosing to not reveal the personal information that is sold by the content creator to the advertisers(even if the content creators don't get to see it, or cant make use of it). On tv and in movies the prestige was what advertisers where getting from ads, they would pay to have the ads carried on the same networks as great content. They wouldn't stop me from talking over an ad or closing my eyes while one was on, and I wasn't "stealing" by doing so. My part of that system was buying the cable package or the movie ticket, funding the general delivery system. Whats happened now is that content creators have taken a bad deal and started selling our personal information rather then the actual prestige of being next to their content. This is perfect for advertisers as it then sets the fight up to be between content creators and their audience, when it should be content creators and their audience working for a better deal.
My pregnant wife was bounced between clinics a few years back and subsequently spent several weeks in a hospital bed. We had the same experience of having to repeat the story every shift change (at least for the first week) and ultimately became incredibly frustrated with doctors doing rounds who would directly contradict the information provided by other medical staff or what was written in her chart.

One of the biggest lessons we took away from the whole experience was the need to be your own medical advocate (understand the health issues, pay attention to what doctors tell you, and don't be afraid to ask for clarification or challenge them if they say something that contradicts other information from a reputable source) - doctors work long hours and see many patients - it's not really surprising that they make mistakes and may miss critical information when scanning similar data sets hour after hour. Unfortunately for patients can be serious consequences to these errors.

Unless no programs ever need to worry about that case (which is untrue), why not mention in a security gist purporting to be a list of crypto implementation suggestions?

I use tabs, but have them organized into a vertical tree. This allows many more to be visible at a time. Since they are in a sidebar, you interface with them like bookmarks, but they don't spawn a new tab when clicked. Because they are organized into a tree structure, its easy to recall the purpose of each.

For example, a search engine tab might lead to a stackoverflow tab which might lead to a few documentation tabs. As long as you remember what the documentarion is for, you can tell what the SO thread is about, and what is was you searched.
Not too much information at all. I think it's a known side effect, too.
Since the election I've been spending time on HN and to a lesser extent Twitter. Every time I visit Twitter I find myself instinctively reaching for the downvote button, but there isn't one.

About the only thing you can do when someone says (or retweets) something totally idiotic on Twitter is either unfollow, or, of course, reply. In other words, there is no way to register disapproval without simultaneously calling attention to the very thing you disapprove of.

One of the absolute best features of HN is the downvote button and the way it is implemented. Downvotes are stronger than upvotes, and the downvoted content gets buried. A community that lets anyone join has to work hard to maintain a high standard. Downvotes don't kick people out, but they kick bad content off. Twitter has nothing like this, so the worst content gets the most attention. You can choose who you follow but users get no negative feedback on inappropriate tweets. So the norms shift towards whatever creates engagement, which is often outrage, fear, and strongly negative emotional content, with or without any rational foundation.

If Twitter wants engaging and constructive dialog, they need a way to take out the trash.

Unfortunately, Twitter's problem is that their potential for social good and their potential for revenue may never align. Since they are failing at turning a profit, it is unsurprising that they seem to be giving no consideration whatsoever to social responsibility.
It's literally just Chrome, with a different chrome (UI) and some new features in the UI. You're not going to get anything faster than Chrome if it uses the same engine (Blink).

Do stuff on your own, go to meet ups on what you're interested in. RHEL is the same as CentOS, download that and download Vagrant. Install CentOS onto a VM, if you don't know something, google it. Go to tech events and meet people, you could get referred to an opening that way. Work at a small company which usually requires many different skills, slide into doing more IT work there.
Woah there horsey, you're basically sticking anyone that thinks reactionless drive might be possible into the crazy conspiracy theory category, and there are plenty of people that are interested in honest reproducible research on the topic.

Just blanket suggesting that it is in no way possible without any evidence is no better than blanket suggesting it is possible without any evidence (well, it's a little better, since the laws of physics are on your side, but...)

> Safari may take a second or two just to open a new blank tab on a 2014 iMac

Is "blank" actually blank? If you have new tabs set to show Top Sites (the default setting), there's a notable lag that doesn't occur if you set it to Empty Page. Of course, changing it is a reduction in functionality, and it's silly that loading a simple grid of screenshots is so slow. Chrome, for its part, is even slower (on my machine) to actually load the new tab page, but it loads it asynchronously with the address bar responding instantaneously, whereas Safari lags out the whole UI.

I still use Safari myself, with new tabs set to Empty Page, because I don't really care about the screenshot-grid functionality (in either browser), and Safari has better performance in other respects, as well as lower power consumption. But it irks me that the default macOS experience makes you wait to open a new tab; it's a terrible UX for something that shouldn't be hard to optimize.
If the latter, it does invite the question of why.

It's simply not worth the effort. Forget about the political topics you mention for a second. Changing minds in that realm through conversation is know to be hard. Look at something easier like conveying factual information about non-controversial topics.

Even in that case, if a topic is complicated enough that an early 20's newbie can't pick it up from a 1000-word medium essay, forget it. People who engage in trying to inform are fighting a constant uphill battle with no upside if they succeed.

Now pile the baggage back on of trying to disagree the "conventional wisdom" of a social bubble. A few try, most give up, and the spiteful join the jokers in trolling.
The space-monsters angle doesn't last terribly long, basically just the first two books. The bulk of the series ends up being more of a political thriller. It reminds me a lot of Ben Bova's Grand Tour series, with some sprinklings of Frederick Pohl's Gateway series.
You have a magic firefox then. I try to use it that way too, but its sitting at 1.8GB of RAM and 25-30% CPU usage with 103 tabs and it routinely bombs on me after a week or two when it gets up to 2.5GB or so.
Fair enough. I grew up outside of Utah, and having spent a number of years living in Utah I must admit that it has people that haven't ever learned how to have a positive relationship with somebody of a different belief system. It's not nearly as big of a problem outside of Utah though.

I think that's decent advice. If I was young again, I'd just apply to one of the many security engineering internships out there and skip defense work. Those didn't exist when I was in undergrad.

Federal jobs are pretty awesome everywhere except extraordinarily expensive cities. Unfortunately, a good percentage of them are based exactly there. :) (Also, a bit easier to admire the benefits and stability they offer when you're older. Early 20s me would laugh and then apply to whatever popular corporate grinder was hiring for prestige and 6000 hour weeks.)

The edge is limited by power constraints. Only so much computation you can do before your phone melts.
What it do? --> Just upload your code to serverlessly.io. You receive a REST endpoint. You can trigger your code via HTTP verbs. GET for immediate response, POST for scheduling the code.

When You should use? --> If you developing one of these; Mobile apps, IOT, REST endpoints for Webapps; You will consider solutions like serverlessly, AWS lambda, Google CF over building own cloud infrastructure with ec2 or Google CE. Also, there are projects that consider separating out Compute/Memory intense tasks, Single-purpose stand-alone tasks from the stack to REST endpoint.

What are use-cases for individual rubyist ? ---> Building web crawlers, Program to send bulk emails or schedule emails, Processing text, Converters(csv, pdf..etc), A cool REST endpoint that other can use.

Onshape.com - check it out. WebGL is good enough for some CAD users.
Spaces, the windows 10 version won't fill that gap for me until I can assign apps to specific spaces so that they always open there, as well as key shortcuts e.g. Ctrl 1 to go to space 1. Also remembering my setup through shutdowns.

Quick look - so useful.

Screenshotting (cmd shift 4, cmd shift space etc) and annotations via preview app. Windows expects me to draw highlight boxes by hand which rapidly looks unprofessional.

Using cmd shift 4 to measure pixels for web design work.

Exposé is nice, not sure if Windows has something like that, I think it does?

Spotlight was a big one for me too but I believe Windows does that justice now with Windows button search.

iMessage on desktop is actually a big deal for me, being that most of my friends and family have apple devices. Being on Windows and wanting to send someone a quick link is frustrating when you're used to having iMessage.

As others have mentioned, it's all the small things. Admittedly I haven't looked at Linux on the desktop for a while so this is mostly based on comparisons with Windows.

It's funny to me; when I got my first taste of "web apps" it was writing c apps to process cgi requests a bazillion years ago. It is neat to see people advocating for native compiled code in this area. I do lots of node these days and full stack so I appreciate the client side leaning for routing and rendering. If you don't need SSR then I'm sure you could create a very performant server in rust or c. Sounds fun!

I picked up a Chromebook so I'd have a smaller (11") device to work on. I did a bunch of research and ended up with an Acer C720-3404 (a specific model that has 4GB of RAM, when most only have 2GB, and has a legit Core i3 CPU instead of a Celeron, so it actually had great horsepower. And I managed to find one with an upgraded 128GB SSD for $150 on craigslist. I spent a bunch of time messing around with it and ended up with an EFI boot system, Clover bootloader, and a triple boot setup with Windows 10, Ubuntu 16.10 & Mac OS X El Capitan. Sounds great, but it has its downsides. Win10 has to run in some test mode so the custom drivers will work, OSX wifi is flakey and stops working periodically, Linux would randomly crash and I was never able to get the trackpad setup juuuuuuust right so I can use the smaller keyboard without my palms causing issues. I was able to get some work done with it, but eventually it turned into me spending more time maintaining the system than being productive.

So I'm selling the Chromebook and I bought a 2013 MacBook Air to replace it. I spent probably 4x as much on the Air, but it just works, I can triple boot it the same way if I want, and it has a Core i7 and 8GB of RAM, and the battery life is like 10+ hours. That and the overall quality is just better.

The Chromebook was fun to mess around with, but I'm more productive with a Mac.

Absolutely! The web is FULL of garbage! I get humor out of these posts on HN, because it's pretty clear there's the group of people (myself included) that see advertising as a kind of assault on free will (which it is), and then there's the group of people who are obviously running some kind of content or business supported by advertising who are reeling at the thought of people out there that are so militant against the means through which their business survives. Reading the comments here that are pro-advertising to me have every marker of "You are calling my business a pile of shit".

Opera, Safari also have dev tools, although those are both webkit-based, these days. IE's had (non-sucky) dev tools since... IE9? 10? Something like that. I'm sure Edge has dev tools.

Part of the issue with a lot of these alternative web browsers is that they don't have fully-fledged JS engines, or WebGL, or a number of other features that web developers like to use to make their sites fancier (and more bloated, etc etc).
