Thanks for the reply, csallen. I hope my comments don't detract in any way from how awesome this is for IndieHackers.com and yourself, and the potential good it could do.

Let me clarify what I mean by IndieHackers no longer being part of the movement. Obviously IndieHackers.com is still an invaluable resource for small businesses to share and learn. The difference now is that you, and IndieHackers.com, are no longer in the same position as those participating in the community. You won't feel the same pain.

That struggle to find sponsorships and keep the cash flowing is in many ways the beating heart of every small business. That's the major pain that everyone feels. You no longer experience that.

Obviously that's a great relief to yourself, and obviously that frees you to work more exclusively on the content, which is the soul of your business. So that's in many ways a great thing! But since you yourself won't be experiencing that pain anymore, you may, in time, end up introducing bias into the content. That's my fear and concern. That you'll forget how difficult it is for small businesses to keep the cash flowing, and so color your interviews, tending to focus on other aspects of business.

In particular your recent podcasts have enabled you to interject your own thoughts and struggles into the conversations (compared to the website interviews which are 100% focused on the interviewee's story). That's been great; you've always had something interesting to say. But that means that, going forward, since you won't be struggling with cash flow, what you interject won't be perfectly aligned with the kinds of things other entrepreneurs will be struggling with or need to hear.

I hope that makes more sense? Put another way ... it's like rap. Rap is most often about the struggles that young, improvised people face on a day to day basis. But ... most of the rap those people are going to hear is from successful rappers ... who have a ton of money and live lavish life styles. It's a bit ... weird. That's not _necessarily_ a bad thing. In many ways that gives people hope, that they too could crawl their way out of poverty and become successful doing something they love. But sometimes it can leave the rappers disconnected.

(I'm speaking more about rap from 10 or more years ago. Nowadays I feel like rappers just said "fuck it" and rap about their current lifestyles. Smokin' reefer, bangin' hookers, and hanging with Avicii ... stuff people can really relate to!)
That was surprisingly insightful. Worth a read, IMO.
I didn't really "jump through hoops". I just did what I would do on Linux...I searched for the Linux files. Found the Linux files. Started working with the Linux files. Turns out, that's a bad idea. Files disappeared.

I've seen numerous reports of other folks entire Linux filesystem being corrupted beyond use. So, I'm not alone in doing this...and (at the time) the docs had a single (non-threatening) sentence about it, when I went back to see if maybe I'd missed something. It basically said something along the lines of "this doesn't work", rather than "this will destroy your files".

It's not a big deal. It was bleeding edge stuff when I started playing with it; things go wrong, and I expect things to go wrong when I'm on the bleeding edge. I like where they're going.

But, it's a thing to be aware of. I wasn't aware of it, based on the docs I read on the subject, so I mentioned it, just in case someone else might not be aware of it.

The thing is, I'm not a Windows user; things that may seem obvious to a Windows user (like, "those files aren't obviously visible for a reason and that reason is don't touch them!") are not always obvious to me.

Then again, you're not the first person to say the files are "hidden"; but I was able to find them, probably using the "find" command in the git or cygwin bash shell, or something (I dunno what else I'd use to find them), but maybe using system search. I don't remember...it wasn't a momentous occasion. I just wanted to edit some files in Atom, so I went and found the files I wanted to edit, using some tool on the system. Again, I don't know Windows. If the state of these files was somehow telling me not to touch them, I did not pick up that signal.
But if you make them stick to the corp card that means everyone has the # and you lose control and insight. That's dangerous at any stage but even worse when you're early stage and every dollar feels like $20.

Safety and Regulation are two partially overlapping sets.

The FAA regulates an immense amount of things that are trivial and those regulations are very hard to update. The FAA issues the vast majority of regulations[0].

What are the best resources for new jobs (direct or consulting) you use?
Full disclosure, I'm a corporate recruiter.
However, out of respect for the community here and resource of information that is this site, I'm not here to try and peddle my wares in the wrong venue.

I originally came here to learn more about the technologies I recruit for to better be able to engage the candidates I work to recruit, and have meaningful conversations and evaluations of their talent.

However, there being such a concentration of talent on most of these posts ( i read the entertaining ones too - little easier on the brain), I'd like to know where those of you in this community do turn to when you are seeking your next engagement, role, gig, contract, or direct hire.

You're certainly not on LinkedCareerMonster... I've looked.... So where can I go to engage with those of you that may be in the market?

Much obliged!
> One might think that, but TFA points out that there are regulations covering when a passenger can be bumped. The demand that the passenger leave may have violated these rules. The police order in that case was mistaken, a point also raised in TFA.

Those regulations do not trump the pilot's authority to directly order a passenger removed for disrupting a flight, even for trivial reasons. See this article that discusses various airlines' history of expelling passengers (warning: autoplaying video with sound), http://fortune.com/2016/05/11/airlines-kicked-off-passengers..., or the FAA regulation directly, https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/CFR-2011-title14-vol2/pdf/CFR-...

Moreover, the police order may have been mistaken but that in no way absolves the individual from complying with said order. He should have resolved the issue with litigation afterwards.

(Again, to make my position clear, the airline behaved quite badly but so did the passenger.)

In general I find that it's harder to be offensive when you position yourself for something rather than against something. On paper an anti-religious shirt sounds more offensive than a pro-LGBTQ+ one, for instance. Both sound hardly appropriate for work though.
It's definitely worth it. The longer and more specific the list of requirements gets, the less likely it is that any one person meets all of them. Recruiters actually have a funny term for such a person, a Purple Squirrel. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purple_squirrel)
I have no idea if you are or aren't (be careful about your assumptions!). But I am certain that certification has nothing to do with the delta between the two of us.
They're often using native code because they have much stricter performance requirements, which means they have everything to gain by doing so.

(Though yes, there is an aspect of your last sentence as well)

It's more likely that Russia just does not like Tor in general, so they find excuses to put users in jail and mess with their devices just to dissuade other people from using Tor.

From that perspective, your theory is not so far-fetched because it's not like the Russian government went through a lot of effort to frame this activist in particular. Any other Tor user would do.
Yes. That was my introduction to the concept (though I didn't know the term until I later toyed with J and Haskell).
It is good to note that Lauder's principal is a statistical argument for degrees of freedom in a system. The Landauer principal on a statistical averaging of this effect, meaning you will sometimes be able to store a little more information.

I think you have your calculations off for the amount of energy required to store a human brain. Assume 8.6 x 10^10 neurons (more accurate number as its simple density measurement) each holding a 64-bit weight which gives us 5.5 x 10^12 bits. This multiplied by the lower bound e.g. k(1)ln2 or 9.56 x 10^-24 J, gives us 5.3 x 10^-12 J which is lower than the energy required to type a letter on this keyboard. Now even if we increase this by body temperature say 37 C we get 310.15 K or about 1.7 x 10^-8 J. This is of course a lower bound on the problem but even if you pump up the number of neurons or weight value you still get less than a joule of energy required.
> You can't block ads in Facebook's native mobile app.

One of the many reasons I don't install every dick and jane's mobile app. In this context, I don't even have a Facebook account.

> Which means that either now or in the future you won't be able to modify your /etc/hosts to solve this problem either (assuming you have a rooted phone or tablet of course).

It's trivial to proxy your own HTTPS traffic even on unrooted phones for e.g. debugging or corporate MITM. Short of cert pinning - which is going to block some corporate users as well - it's not going to be a problem. Facebook would be able to detect I'm not consuming their ads, of course.

> So how long do you think it will take for either (1) everybody moving to native apps where ads can't be blocked

You'll want a working website if only for the search traffic. I also consume most of my content on desktops or laptops - native apps are barely a thing here (anymore.) Even for phones, Google has a powerful incentive not to let apps break the web (which would deprive Google of all that juicy search traffic) and are already penalizing e.g. "intrusive interstitals". And even for phones, I will go without sooner than I will go with people's terrible native apps.

> or (2) courts starting to rule ad blocking in browsers as being copyright infringement.

Has that stopped pirates? And reminding consumers that adtech can be regulated might not be the smartest move as well... that goes both ways after all.

It's also giving ad blockers powerful incentive to obfuscate their tracks. Right now, adtech has the option to detect and request you disable your ad blocker, or refuse to serve you content if you don't. They lose that option if ad blockers have to obfuscate their tracks as a matter of routine, just to continue operating.

> But let's not kid ourselves, you didn't have an implicit right for that content to begin with

Agreed.

> by blocking ads you won't reward the good actors (i.e. GroundUp, featured in this article) and the future isn't bright.

That doesn't follow. Several blockers have e.g. "acceptable ads" policies. Those that don't can still whitelist sites (either because they asked nicely, or because the website breaks without doing so), and you will likely not remain whitelisted unless you and your advertisers are good actors. If anything, ad blockers are about only rewarding good actors.

There's also native advertising, doing a bit for one's sponsors in a podcast or video stream, etc. which tends to be of infinitely better quality, impossible to embed malware into, actually vetted by the content producers, and which generally nobody bothers to even try blocking.

And for all GroundUp's good intentions, part of the reason they seem to be ditching google ads is because they were not being good actors by running said ads. Are you sure this is an example of a darkening future instead of a brightening one?
The second to last sentence seems poignant:

> And we recognize, acutely and uncomfortably, the fear and hatred with which she’s treated as a refugee.

Escpecially with the impact of immigration in the Brexit vote, it's worth pointing out just how few refugees that the UK has accepted.

The UK had 9,000 applicants (and 5,000 accepted) [0] vs Germany's 600,000 and Sweden's 110,000.

No, the charts should use a log-log scale. Now only the x axis is logarithmic which makes the behavior confusingly exponential-looking and also hides the differences at small sizes.
I've learned from a much wiser person this, and it has been proven super illuminating: it's not the similarities that matter between two things, it's the differences.

For some things it might not hold, but it's not like everything and its inverse are basically the same just because they share a common domain (e.g. racism and anti-racism both are focused on race). It's what they get from there, and how they differ that defines their value.

Applied in this case, that "Minimalism makes the same attribution of wealth and possessions to happiness as consumerism does" is irrelevant. It's whether it's a positive or a negative attribution that matters.

Breath of the Wild and the ethics of amiibo hacking
Hey. Again with these false dichotomies. The choice isn't between "certificates" and "never letting newcomers into the industry". In fact, if I accomplished one single thing at Matasano, it's getting newcomers onto our team.

https://sockpuppet.org/blog/2015/03/06/the-hiring-post/

I kind of resent my opposition to certification --- which I see principally as a way of keeping newcomers out of the industry, by requiring them to get expensive certificates to enter it --- being cast as opposition to new talent. I think opponents of certification are far, far more welcoming than the supporters are.

You managed to google for Warren Buffet's investment in UAL but didn't manage to find any of his statements of how bad the airlines are?

There's a reason the last official declaration of war by the us was ww2- and why the great powers never make hard and fast alliances with smaller states, or aid them too openly. And the reason is to avoid world war 3. Relations between countries are always in a big muddy middle ground between peace and war because they have to be.
I am familiar with people who have purchased undergrad and grad level degrees in various fields as well.

The reality is recognizing the importance of a foundation of education is critical. there will always be shortcuts that people take in every imaginable part of life. With that said, people who have a firm education or knowledge no matter where it is from (institution and/or self-taught) will be able to point out people who took short ccuts fairly quicky. The challenge is knowing the right course of action to take, firing or other knee-jerk reactions can result in more harm than good in some situations.

> For fun mostly but it can be useful too: it can find neat solutions I couldn't think of and I may decide to use it. Of course it gives also crazy stuff like `(((.) . (,)) .)` that I will never put in a program because I don't understand or it's just worse than the original input.

If it is purely an intellectual exercise, to see how else the code could theoretically be written, then I totally see the point. (I am a mathematician, after all!)

On the other hand, if it is code that you actually use in production, then surely the old dictum that I will misquote, for want of looking it up, as "if you write the cleverest code possible, then you are not clever enough to debug it", applies all the more so to say "if you aren't clever enough to write your own code, then you certainly aren't clever enough to debug it"! (Not you personally, I mean; just a comment on programmer-facing auto-generated code.)
Artefacts of hiring like resumes, job postings are broken. Job postings especially are a mess and bad ones drive people away instead of attracting talent. Don't read much into it. Apply.
A lot of superlatives about this. Just in the comments here for example. Whats interesting is that this is achieved through realism. Its a pretty well researched show, they tried to depict the facts as clearly as possible.
Agreed. It felt really streamlined and the mental model felt instantly comfortable. If you want to rotate something you can select - rotate - fix axis - choose degree, all in a very programmatic way.

One thing I ran into was it seemed there are some shortcuts that are essential and basically wired to the number pad so I had to buy an external keyboard (and non trackpad mouse).

Many people are saying yes, and I agree, but have an additional point.

If a job has a specific piece of software listed, i.e. Salesforce CRM, google the painpoints or ask people who do it ahead of time. When someone in the interview asks you about it, dont say "I CAN LEARN ANYTHING!", say.... "I understand the learning curve is hard because of X, but I'll just have to put the time in to pick it up quickly".
The filibuster was always removable by a simple majority, though, so it was a self-applied restriction, not an external one. Which limited its efficiency greatly - anyone relying on filibuster knew that if they pushed too hard, it would go away.

>It's especially interesting, because the word for Hindu gods or devas, is cognate with Deus, which is the word for God in Latin and Greek and other ancient European languages.

There are many other such similarities, between Indian (ancient and modern) and European (ditto) languages:

Sanskrit: pitru / Hindi: pitaa / Latin: pater / German: Vater [1] / English: father: / Spanish: padre

Even a pilot has to operate within the constraints of the law or be sanctioned.

what they don't say: your teammates will stop passing to you if you miss 99.98% of the time.
Sure, but who are you standing out from? Do you want to optimize your career to stand out from those candidates, or from the person you've optimized yourself to be currently?

Stated another way, getting a bunch of certifications helps you stand out from the entry level. Putting aside a platonic ideal of what certifications should be, you could have done that without those certifications.

With regards to your first paragraph - at this point my consultancy bills five figures per week, and I do absolutely no outbound lead gen. The lack of certifications will lose you business, yes. But I would argue that was not necessarily business you wanted to optimize for.

Also, and I'd be genuinely interested to hear your thoughts here, why do you think that IT/Info Sec will take a different path than other professions (medicine, law, accountancy, engineering etc) which fairly universally have evolved into a certified professional model?
