You are partialy right, some employers will still care about your well being, but the point is that

1. Not all employers will care, and that fact alone gives you some choice.

2. Even employers that do care can only encourage you to live healty lifestyle but cannot punish you for not following their recomendations (financialy or otherwise)

> when we do not do the same to the personal computer

Try installing Windows 7 or Linux on a newer HP laptop with UEFI. Those pricks also encrypt their BIOSes, make them non-downgradeable, and disable features for no real reason (locking RAM speed to 1333 MHz on Sandy Bridge comes to mind).
There was a load of publicity ~a decade ago about this, with lots of mobile operators pushing the service. They did do the marketing, but MMS was the success we know it was(!), cameras in phones weren't top notch, and the service was used once only by lots of people who have now forgotten all about it...

Ha! Well, it definitely wouldn't be perfect, but an experienced VC knows quite a bit more than the average crowdfunder in assessing risk, threats, opportunities, valuations, etc.

Given that the biggest gripe about crowdfunding is that the green amateurs must be protected for themselves, a little guidance there might help to close the gap. No omniscience required. Just a starting point.
Interesting article. I've long felt that our systems for group discussion and decision making are too primitive, in part because they make no attempt to adjust for the value of each comment. Idiots and blowhards get to take up as much space on the page as anybody else. This is tiresome for readers and exasperating for contributors. If comments could be fairly and impartially judged for their value before being seen threads could be condensed. Research such as this can maybe help pave the way in that direction?
No, it has a significant impact even on programmers, though less of one than it has on people in sales or customer service: http://timothy-judge.com/Height%20paper--JAP%20published.pdf

The FBI has some good material on this subject[1] and specifically permits you to disclose the NSL to your attorney so that you can comply with it.

Something important to understand is that non-disclosure is not an automatic feature of the NSL, but that disclosure binds the parties to the terms in the NSL.

[1]: https://vault.fbi.gov/National%20Security%20Letters%20%28NSL...

> Secondly, the FBI can serve an NSL to the CEO, a separate one to the CISO, and so on down the chain to the tech people whose job would be to fulfill the order

Yes, they can, however that's not what happens. The general council may advise the CEO to disclose certain requirements or aspects of the NSL to the CISO or to other parties for the purposes of complying with the NSL. They will almost certainly not recommend disclosing or distributing the NSL "down the chain to the tech people".

>If you have a professional website you want to be found also by these other engines.

Do you really? Except if you are interested in the Chinese market.

In fact the inverse is probably more true: if you run one of those other search engines, then you want to be as good at indexing any particular site as Google is.

I wonder what Google does to avoid indexing too many pages. There are a fair number of SPAs and software like shopping carts that have a large number of checkboxes, pulldowns, knobs, dials, etc...that both change the content and the current url query params.
It is. The last post also ignored some larger problems - like fat people essentially having medical problems missed because doctors attribute it to their weight, or the exact opposite - skinny people not getting diabetic tests or cardiac stress tests because they're skinny.
I'd say that is not true anymore - it used to be pretty hard to buy games before (with retarded regional restrictions and no Steam, etc). So people couldn't be assed to buy a game if they could not find a cracked one.

But today, you can do it with a few clicks, so if someone really wants to play a game because it looks cool/interesting/whatever, I'd say a lot of people will just pay for it if they can't find the crack.

Ah OK, I stand corrected, thanks. This must be recent then. They did not have this 4 or 5 months ago when I looked and I remember being quite surprised by this. I was told it was a feature that was on the roadmap. Why is this not listed on security details for the product I wonder?

Classic distraction strategy. It's sad watching people on facebook/twitter even believe one word from the White House and the MSM about Russian hacking. Putin isn't a nice person, but even so the facts simply don't support the government's claims. If you ask me, they went with the Russian angle because of how ruthless Putin seems to be, and they thought it would be easy to sell. It was with a lot of people, it seems, that or they were all too eager to believe a lie.
It doesn't sit well with me either.

Overweight or not (I am overweight) exercise is really important. As long as it doesn't result in hiring or advancement bias, it should be incentivized because it lowers corporate benefit costs in aggregate and improves the performance of the workforce. A large body of scientific studies exist showing that it:

Improves cognitive function (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24696506)

Reduces sick leave (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2092583/)

Improves happiness/ more brain cells (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4789405/)

Smarter, happier people that miss less work are going to be more successful. Some people are born more gifted in this respect, but exercise can be very effective at narrowing that advantage for the rest of at surprisingly little cost in money and time.

I have been interested in learning a piece of 3d modeling software for a while, but choosing a program is pretty difficult since there are a lot of programs with non-obvious differences and there doesn't really seem to be one standard. Blenders main feature seems to be that it is free. Maya has more features and is more of a "full stack" 3d program but is apparently pretty messy and difficult to learn. Modo is a more streamlined version of maya. C4D and houdini are more for motion graphics than for anything else. Solidworks and autocad are really only for product design. I have no idea where 3ds Max fits in. 3dcoat and zbrush are for sculpting instead of modeling. And then you also have to choose from a ton of renderers.
You could have a hardened gateway server with read-only storage and that only temporarily stores messages in memory.

Maybe a heterogenous bunch if them so you'd have to crack all of them to get all messages.

You could periodically reset them in case they still get infected.

You could add a transparant proxy that specifically looks for odd, repeated requests, to detect re-infectations.

You'd set up alerts for attempts at communication/scanning from those servers, to detect virusses trying to move laterally between the different instances, and/or isolate them from eachother on the network layer.

You could have a separare hardware device that scans the memory of these servers to detect tampering.

It could also try to detect "plaintextness" and abort as soon as it detects that, so you only have the beginning of the message in memory.

This doesn't help when the ISP is recording (and it probably is), but it makes it very hard to retrieve the data from inside the email datacenter.

First of all encryption which is what a master passphrase gives you is not the same as authentication. These are two different concerns.

Second, how well does that master passphrase plus local local key work for you when you are not on your laptop or when possibly using an untrusted computer?

That's neither here nor there: GPS receivers, and the GPS satellites, do broadcast the leap-second insertions (though they don't reset their own clocks, they simply maintain the differential as additional information).
I fully understand that networking protocols are truly in the center of the main vein of subjects interesting to the community of Hacker News. But can we at least admit to ourselves that being endlessly enamored with novelty and lack of precedence, telegraphs our deepest motivations to people who might have ulterior motives, allowing them to easily gain our attention and compliance by simply pointing out to us that the world is filled with irony, and novelty, and unprecedented phenomena?

If you remove "DCCP", "socket", and "type" from this headline, you are left with the universal format of a clickbait headline. If DCCP is truly a networking protocol worthy of the attention of the readers of Hacker News, just imagine how much more convincing of an argument there is to be made, based on its true underlying merits. I am perfectly willing to admit that this protocol may in fact be the best networking protocol by every objective measure available. But the fact that someone who knows more than I do about it, believes that their best opening bid in the negotiation that is convincing me of its merits, is a logical fallacy, inevitably leads me to question their entire premise.

If we can all agree that we don't like clickbait headlines in the general sense, then lets be even more vigilant against clickbait headlines that we are the least able to resist.

More likely that a war with or annexation by Russia would begin by handing over parts of your country to Russia.

Which is largely how World War II started in Europe: Stalin and Hitler agreed on a partition of the lands in between, and together started a war to implement that agreement, so that their armies could shake hands in the middle of Poland.
This is a glass half empty, half full argument. Honestly, I am taking the view that "wellness programs" should be mandatory fun. Why? Just look at social programs like social security, garbage collection, public schools, welfare ... I mean we all pay into a system even when we are healthy, wealthy, and happy .. but there comes a time, when we won't be. The buy in ideology here, is what is good for the goose is good for the gander. Healthcare costs are rising for every company out there. It's _not_ free. When someone joins a wellness program they are doing so for a benefit. But .. as a company it is insuring that people are doing their best to keep the social healthcare system that the company purchased costs down for everyone. You are doing this for your fellow co-workers, not you. It's being caring enough to say hey .. I'm working hard to keep myself in the best shape I can, so I don't have to die and cost our company money when they negotiation on the bulk for ALL of us. This is not a company thing, it's a fellow-man thing. This is about as close to universal healthcare as you are going to see and it's a good thing.

They took a good idea (welness programs) and made a creepy dystopian thing out of it (biometric tracking for penalizing you on health insurance). That's what Weapons of Math Destruction is all about: tracking, data mining/collection, algorithms that discriminate people based on the data collected. This article is essentialy a advert for the book. I've read some of it in a library.

I love it. So far the negative feedback is privacy but for a project that isn't at a full serious company point yet why is everyone else taking it so serious? Write some funny stuff about the day it doesn't have to be a deep dark secret, if that's what you want do it on your own.

I remember running this in the vague hope that it would work knowing full well that I could have a brick on my hands and it did work, flawlessly. Amazing how these things pop up again years down the line.

One of the big problem with Wellness programs is the same problem of measuring programmer productivity by tracking LOC -- it's a set of numbers that are only a proxy for the real thing. I look good on some numbers typically used and not so good on others, but I've only needed preventative maintenance for a while.

Of course, what the insurance companies really care about is their cost, not your actual health, which is why the folks with the discounted plans wound up using the insurance more at a past employer -- strong encouragement to exercise more caused more exercise-induced injuries, particularly among a set of mountain bikers that became competitive once the company started logging their mileage as part of the "Wellness" program ... and they started logging broken bones!

+10. And the more you dig into health, the more you realize health professionals don't always have the best informations as you though they would. It's worth to take time to try many things on your own in parallel of traditional advices otherwise you can miss so many good practices, or engage in so bad ones.
The reason is Google's interest in advancing the web platform. They're afraid of content migrating into either native apps or Facebook, and Chrome is their (somewhat successful) attempt to make the open web competitive.
Chrome by default searches Google with whatever you type in the top bar - so by not disabling that private URLs are sent to them and then are scanned (however if the correct robots.txt file is setup on those URLs then Google Crawlbot would stop at that point).

I believe it was this setting (I have it disabled as well as other options - however I believe it's only this option that sends data back) [1].
