Hmm, a programmable TPM / secure element running as a program on an undocumented OS that also runs a web server and is probably not hardened (and might not even have privilege separation or even an MMU for all I know) but nonetheless has superpowers over the main CPU. I'll stick with a hardware TPM, thank you very much.

(Qualcomm's TrustZone kernel runs on a similarly limited but much better documented platform, does not run a web server, and has had a good share of vulnerabilities over the years. I see no reason to expect Intel's ME software stack to be any better.)
First thing I'd say is keep learning. Be sure you fill in all the gaps to be able to build something from the front all the way to the back, typically referred to as a full stack engineer. This will give you more opportunities and help you widen your job possibilities.

Since you really need experience, try interning somewhere. You won't make your true potential but you are learning and you have to start somewhere. Very valuable experience.

And lastly, I work at Quicken Loans and we have 200 openings in technology. I was Director of Software Engineering for over 12 years before switching roles and it sounds like you want to learn, get better, and honestly that's a quality I valued when interviewing. Take a look at our careers site, we have a great culture, http://quickenloanscareers.com. If you like what you see, shoot me your resume at keithelder@quickenloans.com and I'll take a look at get it to our recruiting team directly if it has potential.

All the best!
OpenSnitch is not only about ftrace, check the NFQUEUE handling, moving to native will improve performances and stability. Also, it requires root because that's the only way it can install the iptable rules it needs in order to function properly.

Really cool - simple and effective. Love that it starts right away when openened. (And cool landing page too)

Being color blind too (well, anomalous trichromat) I sometimes take pictures of things I want to buy/examine and analyze the colors at home: could you make a Force Touch option to load a picture from the camera roll instead of using the camera? (I suggest force touch because I don't want to interfere with the current simple interface/starting right away)

Either way, thanks, this will be used a lot

Public is different (or should be) from State-owned.

A land is not public anymore if the State owns it. Even though the State claims to be a "public" institution, owned by everyone, it is not, it is a separate organization that works with certain bizarre democratic rules, but still a separate organization, much like a "public" company.
The Importance of Product-Channel Fit in Freemium
I'm a bit disappointed in this article. Interviewing someone who bought fake IDs and a small scale seller from 1994 isn't that insightful. He should have tracked down a current seller and interviewed them.

Prices have dropped in the past 10 years which I assume means increased competition. It would be interesting to hear how that has affected the business. I'm also curious about the techniques they use. When I was selling IDs 13 years ago it was teslin, PVC card printers, and Alps printers. I assume the Alps printers are no longer used since they went out of production in 2003 or 2004.

A lot of IDs are still fairly easy to replicate. The hardest thing is a real hologram which most IDs don't have.

It's not just subsidies and mandates, it's large government contracts on maybe not actually needed systems. See the F-35 as an example of this, which has parts manufactured in a majority of states meaning it's impossible for congress to nix this sort of program because it would cost constituents jobs. Also how it makes it harder for congressmen and women to vote against these sorts of deals because it would cost their constituents future jobs.

How to Measure the Invisible ROI of Customer Advocates
Assuming one wants to call C++ code from Python (the common case) I would even start with simple pipe-based IPC and just build an executable in C++ that acts as a bridge between Python (or any other language in this case) and C++. E.g. using JSON serialization it would look like this:

$LANG (e.g. Python) <-> JSON <-> Pipe <-> JSON <-> C++

If this is too slow I still wouldn't use a binding generator (SWIG, etc.), but build a C API using opaque pointers that offer the required functions, i.e. a bridge between C and C++. Finally one can simply call into this API with Python's ctypes which are part of its standard library.

Python <-> ctypes <-> C-API <-> C++

I have worked previously with SWIG, but my experience has been very bad, in particular the problem with binding generators is similar to the problem parser generator face - they make the simple stuff simple and the hard stuff hard. Furthermore the bindings that are auto-generated are mostly too low-level, so one normally writers wrappers around them to make them more "pythonic" which raises the questions why not write the bindings from scratch anyway?
The mass use of fake IDs of this sort is a bizarrely American problem. In the UK, you're considered an adult at age 18. Most (aside from the unfortunate 17-year-olds) university students can legally purchase alcohol, smoke, or gamble if they so choose.

But we don't have MADD, I guess.

Only if there's sufficient competition. Boeing does the same thing, spreading their components across most of the US (and into other countries) for the same reasons. It's an alternate to conventional lobbying. Instead of, "Hey Congressman here's $100,000 for your campaign." It's, "Hey Congressman, vote for aircraft X and I'll move to your state and create 2000 jobs. Don't, and I'll pull out the 2000 jobs that are already there."

Thing is, even my favorite Etsy artists (I have bought five Unicorgis from Squidbrains...) I have found via social media and not through Etsy. If they were selling on their own website, Shopify or whatnot, my willingness to buy and discovery process would be the same. I just do not see the value in Etsy. I am sure there is some but I do not know what.
Thank you for writing this out. Your feelings mirror mine to a 't'. I have a Masters in EE from an American university and had to take 2 math classes [applied math I & II] to pass - boy was it a slog!

Teslin and PVC are still big, although some states are using polycarbonate as well. Real holograms got a lot easier. IDGod (among other vendors), apart from selling IDs, also sells bulk holograms, so most vendors on Reddit now have them. The bigger hurdles are the higher security states with perforations, raised signatures, windows, etc.
Unfortunately, the average American commute is 15 miles one way, and American corporate offices tend to be located in areas where bike/pedestrian friendliness is barely a consideration. I love biking and would be happy to bike for an hour each way, but every time I've mapped out a commute, there's been a stretch or too that's too dangerous.

These days, straight roads scare me more than intersections.
With the amount of distracted drivers out there, I'm not biking on any road without a spacious shoulder or a sidewalk.

Cisco acquires Viptela: How the founders created a billion dollar market
It appears that this article is a summary of one in the Financial Times, which requires payment. The fact that the summary from qz.com got to the front page and the original from ft.com didn't shows you what people actually prefer, regardless of what they might say.

I don't see the cesspool that the grandparent comment describes, though. Even in incognito mode with my adblocker disabled, I see the article immediately. There's a gigantic annoying video banner ad at the top, but the story begins right below it, and after that there's one more fairly reasonable ad in the middle of the article. Maybe they're doing some analytics to decide how much they can annoy you, and the other person got incorrectly pegged as someone who can take a lot.
Fair enough. I have two questions, then:

1. Don't you think that to decide not to take electronic devices in 21st century for travel is a reaction that is out of proportions? It's pretty drastic measure, if you ask me.

2. How are the foreigners to change U.S. government's mind, if not by "blowing it out of proportions"? What other recourse is there?

Maybe for U.S. citizens, and especially those that have to do with the tourism or international business or academia, yeah, it sucks that it's "blown out of proportions". But see - they are the citizens, they can pressure their government to take strong stance on the issue and forbid these practices as totalitarian (and obviously useless - no combination of bits on my phone or computer is by itself going to harm anyone).

NativeScript 3.0 is available today
At least on the South Bay, I think that drivers are more impatient because the cities have failed to do anything real to improve traffic. They focus on highly visible things, like a new overpass or adding a lane to an onramp, or something of this nature.

Then they'll spend something like $1 billion on a new library or town hall or $100 million on a rec center or whatever.

Meanwhile, the actual road infrastructure cannot support the incredible increase on net new job creation. This makes for traffic jams, everywhere, so people become impatient and increases the number of irrational decisions they make.

I live in the hills, several miles down a very narrow, curvy country road. Nobody goes less than 10 mph above the speed limit, which is genuinely unsafe on this road. They do it because traffic is much lighter than the rest of their commute, and they just want to get home. Of course, they're only shaving somewhere around 28 seconds of travel time off of their total commute while increasing the probability of a deadly encounter with a hapless bicyclist who ignorantly thinks they are riding on a quiet, back-country road.

I am quite certain that the cost of adding a separate bicycle/pedestrian path is quite high, as it would require bulldozing parts of moderate sized hills, and compared with the fanfare of a new police station or city hall, a new bicycle lane for some back road just doesn't compare.

However, knowing the residents of this back road and the town in general, I'm quite certain such a path would generate a lot of real use and potentially save lives. But I'm quite certain this kind of project will not hapen in my lifetime.

My opinion regarding the NSA has changed over time. During the Snowden revelations (Snowden is still a hero of mine), I was greatly opposed to foreign spying, e.g. on Petrobras and Angela Merkel.

Over the years I've realized how powerful and important such information is for peaceful diplomacy, and that the United States has a post-WWII responsibility to maintain that peace.

However, the recent debacle regarding potential political spying has vindicated my earliest fears - that this can be used to subvert the domestic democratic process. Doesn't matter whether the spying did or did not occur (probably both sides are stretching the truth). We're living in an age where it is at least conceivable by a large portion of the country that the NSA's tools were improperly used against US citizens. It's time for a vigorous debate on clear guidelines regarding these powers.
> It's too hard to use a C++ interface from any other language.

D has the best support for this. It's not as simple as `#include <cppheader.hpp>` but it's better than any other language at it. Name mangling matches, C++ exception support and C++ abstract classes can be declared as D interfaces and everything works.

> C++ really is unique in terms of offering zero-cost abstraction

Rust and D (at the very least) would disagree.
