Assuming this is about some secret data:

It's maybe the wrong question, or part of a bigger question of how do you secure information you want to keep from a state-level actor. Your laptop may be part of that but also your mobile device, home phone, cloud services, and other people who also have access to the said data. Also how determined they are to get the data is another factor, and can they achieve what they need to another way without 'your' data.
I only read the comments.
Tesla sues former Autopilot head for theft of secrets and employee poaching
I kind of like to look at these kinds of posts as if it were a very attractive person complaining that so many people are hitting on them. There are a lot of people who would do anything to be in your position having recruiters constantly offering them interviews.
Perhaps there is a better case for this precedent to be made -- I don't know -- but if not, in addition to the points you made, I wonder would one similarly not argue for other due process rights in cases where the defendant was clearly guilty?

To me, questioning the EFF's decision here should be done in the context of the historical precedent of the past court cases where due process rights have been fought for.
I've been bullet journaling for a while and I found it particularly useful for handling school, work, family, friends and general life throughout college. Now, as a working person, I've found my bullet journal change with me, which has honestly been really nice.
They should each be interpreted in the context they're intended. What does it mean to describe a particular pain to be a 6 on a scale of 1 to 10? Or the numerical values on the Likert scale to measure opinion? Do these similarly blur the line between science and bullshit? The question "are we closer or further from global catastrophe?" is one worth trying to answer. The Doomsday Clock is one way to make this comparison. Indeed, the Doomsday Clock value is much more like pain or Likert scales in that it's used for comparison, as opposed to an absolute value.

I'm not sure what you're arguing so strongly against. I'm not saying the Doomsday Clock is perfect. I think it's useful. It can likely be improved. When/if we can find better quantitative representation for this, I agree we should use it.
Nginx is a pretty different thing. Its primary purpose is quickly delivering files on disk and acting as a proxy, specifically not executing custom code.

Apache is more like an application server framework specifically targeted at executing custom code (hence modules). It is a little obscure and old fashioned but actually quite powerful and very flexible/customizable.

Since many current server side frameworks (say Node.js and all other Swift frameworks I know) do not really embed well into the server but are HTTP servers on their own, Nginx is often used as a frontend server in such contexts. It is very good for that (and Apache often overkill).

Anyways, running your code within Apache has pros&cons, as always. But this has little to do with Nginx vs Apache. (i.e. it may still make sense to use Nginx in front of Apache hosting a mod_swift application).

Such a MITM attack could only happen once (per CA); doing so would burn a CA, as browsers would then stop trusting it. Certificate Transparency (which many CAs already do and which will become mandatory for all CAs in 2017) ensures that browsers only trust certificates whose issuance gets publicly logged.
Swiss person here. Not quite sure what to make of this. From what I can tell, it's a generic job board without a search function and a whopping total of 204 job ads (which don't seem to be exclusive to jobwire).

FWIW, I have previously used indeed.ch (no affiliation). They seem to have many more job ads and let you create alerts for new ads. jobs.ch is another alternative, and Monster has a swiss site as well.
Every request to and from the app should be instrumented. Paying addition to the requests to the app is a good start - but you really need detailed instrumentation of all downstream dependencies your service uses to process it's requests to understand where the issue is. It's often likely you're slow or throwing errors because a dependency you use is slow or throwing errors. Or maybe the upstream service complaining has changed it's request pattern and they're making more expensive queries. There is often a small minority of requests that are responsible for most of the performance issues so even if the overall volume hasn't changed, the composition and type of requests matter as well.

You may be an under-responder. With modafinil there seem to be large populations that are over/under-sensitive.

I bought a box about 4 years ago as well to see if it helped at work. I turned out to be sensitive to it and later investigated studies linking my genotype with sensitivity (specifically a pleiotropic SNP in the COMT gene rs4680/Val158Met). Most sequencing includes this well-studied SNP in the panel if you're curious.

Starting with a "normal" 200mg dose was a disaster. Anxiety, shaking, racing thoughts, nausea, and arrhythmia all struck on the ride to work and lasted 10 hours.

With 50mg taken right after breakfast, I was able to achieve some notable effects and feelings of extra productivity but even a small amount of caffeine or alcohol within 18 hours would make me sick. It proved to not be worthwhile and I quit after a month.

If they use their browser dominance to gain the upper hand in the certificate issuance market that seems like a violation of anti-trust law.
In a browser's current usage model, this is vulnerable to a 'cache origin confusion attack'. See this thread [1]. It's a bit hard to follow, so perhaps see these posts [2][3], which state the problem succinctly. Let me adapt the text from [3]:

The problem is that www.victim.com/evil.js doesn't exist, and never did, but your browser won't know that if it's in the cache -- this gives you a way of faking files existing on other servers at the URL of your choice, and as long as they're in the cache you'll get away with it.

Being contacted by a recruiter is nothing special or anything to brag about unless you get a personalized email. I have gotten maybe 2 personalized emails ever from a recruiter and in that case they were internal recruiters (not outsourced). They took the time to research me and mention specific project I've worked on. In this case it sounds like he was getting "cold-emails" which I get (and my co-workers) every week or two. I sympathize with the author, it's annoying to tell a company (TekSystems in my case) that I don't want to move and I'm only interested in specific jobs and a salary equal to or greater than X and then have them continue to call and email me with jobs where I'd make 1/3-1/2 less than I currently make (and I've told them how much I make).

Ask HN: What is your drink of choice while coding?
I don't like hot drinks (coffee). So I usually go for a cold caffeinated drink. It took me a while to find the amount of caffeine. I started hard with one redbull or monster per day - then switched to 2 diet cokes per day for a while. I realized diet coke makes me angry and nervous, so I tried regular coke lately and it works perfectly.

Gps helps and then I think its mostly down to design. The lock has to be so integrated that breaking it leaves the bike unusable, and wheels, saddles etc has to be non-standard so no one could use or sell a wheel or other part from one of the bikes.
Also the bikes have to be recognizable in geometry so that it's very obvious to any buyer if a re-painted stolen one is sold.

Stealing and stripping bikes has only 4 reasons 1) selling it 2) selling parts 3) transportation 4) vandalism.

Vandalism is almost impossible to prevent. The other 3 should be preventable by good (and well-known) design. For the bikes to be well known enough you need a large exposure. You can't have just e.g 1000 bikes in SF.

It is difficult to say what is the most appropriate solution for a person like you only because I cannot seem to get an accurate read on who you are. But I will share some advice that I ran on in school. Your mileage may vary based on your ability to follow through.

1. Flunking or dropping, lack of discipline and motivation, anxiety, depression, isolation is a sign of of mental instability and needs severe amount of therapy to fix. And since most therapy is like shooting in the dark and hoping you get a hit, I don't rely on it. I just let it work if it can. And if it cannot, oh well. It is okay to finish the race limping on one leg if the other one does not work.

2. The best way to get through mental instability is by focusing, and my way of focusing is via anger. The healthier way of focusing is looking at the world in a positive light and knowing anything is possible.

3. Get past your shortcomings. In fact, enjoy your shortcomings. College is an avalanche of challenge, and its biggest gift is that your weaknesses and shortcomings become revealed to you. (Imagine how bad life would be if you accidently thought you were amazing at everything, simply because you were never challenged.)

4. College is about growing on top of the challenges, learning through the stress, and bonding with community. College is about giving back as much as it is about receiving. College is about having a commmon struggle. Don't be aloof to it all.

5. A blind person finishes college in one way. A deaf person finishes college in another way. A blind-deaf person finishes college a third way. Likewise, a smart person, social person, nice person, and angry person each have a unique way of finishing college, and there is no right way or wrong way of doing it. I remember Aesop's fable of the sun and wind at this point. Everyone has strengths. College is about finding those strengths and learning to use those strengths. (Every superhero has their own strengths and they each need to leverage it creatively to win.) Don't think that you being this or that way cannot succeed in college. A person like you must succeed or college needs to transform itself to the correct way where a person like you is not deprived of the opportunity at accomplishing it.

6. There have been times where I too felt that I was too different or weird to do well. I was not. I was perfectly capable. Often times, the assignments I was given was too weird or different. I never thought too much of it, and I realized (in college) I should never ever let it define or qualify who I was.

I think you're not impressed because you already assumed these drugs enhance cognitive performance. That, I think, is what the study is really about: do these particular drugs actually enhance cognitive performance? But, in order to test that, they need to pick a cognitive task, and in this case, the cognitive task happens to be chess.

I work for a digital archives project and we're concerned about similar issues of provenance. Our way of dealing with this has been to structure our archives as JSON-formatted text in Git repositories, with binaries managed by git-annex.

Git uses hashes for everything: files are placed in .git/objects/ by their hash, each commit lists the hashes of files in the working directory, and each commit points to the hash(es) of its parent(s)

Using Git it's possible to verify the integrity of the entire repository and its history, making it impossible to tamper with without leaving traces. It's also possible to have multiple copies (clones) of the data and to verify that they are exactly the same.

If you have a copy of such a collection you can compare it against a copy held by the originating institution. If that becomes impossible for some reason, then if you can track down any of the original files you could prove that that portion of the data is correct, which lends trust to the rest of the collection.

Of course, it's possible this would not convince a die-hard trump supporter. /s
Aw yay! Super proud of that talk, it's my favorite. :)
FWIW, I've had a hell of a time dealing with a Surface Pro 4 and multiple monitors. The problem is scaling. The SP4 has a 3200x1800 resolution internal screen, and is quite hard to read with that resolution on a 13" screen. So, Microsoft suggests you turn up the resolution scaling in your display options and scale to 200 or 300%. Now the main SP4 screen looks okay, but if you try plugging it into external 20" or larger monitors, those are going to look atrocious.

So then you might decide to use just the external monitors, and scale it back to 100%. That works pretty well, but Windows forces you to restart (or "Sign Out" and back in, which will close all of your programs and stuff you were working on) every time you change that scaling option. Great! Everything looks fine...until you disconnect the Surface from its dock. Now it's back to looking tiny, and to make use of the SP4 internal screen I've got to once again change the scaling, restart, etc.

People at work ask me why I'm always swearing whenever I come into board meetings. It's because I've just detached my SP4 to bring it into the meeting, and I've either got to drop everything I'm doing to restart and be able to use it during the meeting, or keep the 100% scaling to avoid restarting and squint at my SP4's screen during the meeting.
It might be neat to apply machine learning to something like incoming messages (whether E-mail or text or otherwise), to automatically determine the real importance of a communication based on how you classify other messages.

After awhile, it should be possible to achieve minimal interruption, based on what you consider worthy of an interruption.

I know that I don’t like simple solutions like marking E-mail as “important”. In my experience, some people will always mark their stuff as “important” and their definition is not my definition.

Angry_octet I love you. this was one of the best comments..
When in fact it is a nuisance, this isn't really the kind of problem you want. You can only have one full time employment or contract at once (this is what recruiters want 99.99% of the time); ipso facto if you get these offers constantly you will turn down almost all of them. For me I've always relied on personal connections to guide me on whether I want to take an offer (for interview or job), regardless of whether I have had recruiters chasing me or not. If you are relying on personal connections to gather this information and/or offers then the recruiter adds very little value.

Thats still not binding arbitration though. Unless binding means "its binding once we get the result that benefits us"

Additionally the article also says "So it is suing one of its own employees, applications account manager Felicia Wilson, in a New York court to undo the arbitrator's $257,335.79 award." which sounds like its going through the court at some point, even if only asking to have the arbitration process redone
I just got an email from a colleague that the Roswell Park Cancer Institute is looking for software developers and cloud developers. They're a good group doing good things.
People in this thread complaining about "humble bragging", "You're lucky to get recruiter emails", "People wish they were in your position" are missing the point.

This is NOT a "All these amazing companies are trying to throw money at me but I don't want it" it's a "These people keep offering me a job I don't want, given their requirements, and I'm not at all guaranteed it even if I do accept their requirements". This is akin to getting credit card offers in the mail IMHO. Getting recruiter "spam" (calls or email) is 99.99% of the time NOT an indication that you are a great developer but rather you have made some sort of an email list.

Sure if companies were contacting me with better jobs that I currently have or jobs that I'm a shoe-in for (ie. they've done their research on me and they want ME not just someone who has certain keywords on their LinkedIn profile) then I'd be super happy and a blog post about that would be humble brag but this is different. These recruiters spam thousands of people with the same form-letter so they can pull in a handful and get a percentage of their salary for the first 3/6/12 months they are employed at their new job.
How is this better than docking stations?

I tried bike sharing and gave it up because the bikes were poorly maintained and replaced with cheaper bikes (thanks Citibike). Bikes fail, sometimes missing brakes, other times a flat tire.

Why are docking stations important? Because a couple times a week I notice the company pull up with a trailer and maintain the bikes. They swap out the broken ones and fill the stations.

Is Spin going to drive around the city tracking individual bikes to replace them?
