Your logic is similar to what led me to vegetarianism, and what makes me feel guilty for not being full-on vegan. My mind immediately jumps to excuses and rationalizations, "I'm not rich enough to be picky", "We're all just cogs", "It's too much effort to care", etc.

I'm going to take some time to consider your comment more. It has unearthed some deeply-buried cognitive dissonance...
Yes - pass through entities like LLCs pay whatever the owners personal rates are. This is usually higher than 15%. Small and mid-sized businesses often pay more than larger companies despite the progressive rates because they don't have access to legal workarounds or don't have strategic offsets. S-corps are generally the highest and they're prevalent in tech startups of course.

"[The] study provides valuable data that confirms small businesses currently pay a higher effective tax rate than many large corporations." [1]

The author's suggestion that you don't need profits to reinvest is incredibly naive. My company doesn't hire when profits are low. It's too risky for most companies to do that.

So we have some work to do there and we should invest in our small businesses because they 1) produce the bulk of new jobs and 2) produce jobs and environments that are more rewarding.

If I had been dumped in front of a C compiler, I wouldn't have made it anywhere either...

I got into programming in the early 90's by tearing apart the sample HyperCard stacks on our Mac Classic. The UI and the english-like programming language made it super easy for a 8-year-old to learn by copy pasting and re-arranging code. My uncle then noted my interest and gave me a copy of the HyperTalk reference guide which I read cover to cover. The writing in that book was great, the sample code was full of humor that flew way over my head.
I know node better and would be a bit light on other frameworks. Do you have suggestions?
I am fortunate that my school seems to vet the students well for character. Or perhaps it's self-selecting because we do PBL which requires collaboration. We don't have the issues with backstabbing and drama that I've heard from other schools. I think my classmates are perhaps my favorite part of the med school.

The scariest thing in med school is how vulnerable you are to someone with authority screwing over your entire future. Piss off an attending? Well, they could right a terrible letter for you that hurts your ability to match into the specialty you want. You could straight up witness mistreatment of a patient by a superior, report it, and have your entire future altered forever because of people above being petty or vindictive.

Sensedeep looks very intriguing and I often wondered if anyone has created an alternative to Atomic Secured Linux. Could this be it? Or is it like an ids / ips with a gui?
Sure. I'll look into it. Thanks for the feedback!
The title refers more to the physical book process itself rather than just the contents. That's why the article spends paragraphs talking about his meticulous choices in ink and paper, and trivialities like silk that will show in the binding or the exact color of the bookmark. The article differentiates him with how he has the luxury to spend months on projects and do longer and more expensive print runs. A normal publisher would just probably go with glossy paper, whatever size the artist prefers, and cheaply mass produce coffee-books, but he is shown to be more collaborative and discerning.
Ha didn't expect this to end up here. If anyone is interested, I'm working on a blogpost explaining how we built the app in detail… It uses embedded TensorFlow on device (better availability, better speed, better privacy, $0 cost), with a custom neural net inspired by last month's MobileNets paper, built & trained with Keras. It was loads of fun to build :)

>Do you realistically think that this is the goal? Do you think that someone thought, Let's look for ways that Americans can't get a job?

Yes, for the reasons I mentioned in my post, which is that it gives them more leverage as an industry to protect their profits. If someone is looking to start enforcing the law and deporting aliens (harming profits because labor is now more expensive), they can then make an argument that this will lead to increased prices of their product. How much the price is increased is dependent on how much more they will have to pay citizens to work instead of aliens, which is determined in part by what the minimum wage is.

>If a business doesn't care about the law, why are they paying the minimum wage in the first place? Isn't hiring illegals, illegal?

Citizens have recourse and legal power to fight unlawful activity that illegal aliens do not. If a citizen is being paid less than the minimum wage, they have no reason not to try and extract the money they are legally entitled to by using the legal process. Aliens cannot do this, they do not want to bring attention to themselves because it could get them deported. So, it is better to violate the law by hiring illegal aliens than it is to hire citizens and pay them less than the legally mandated minimum wage.

The fact of the matter is that minimum wage doesn't magically make everyone get paid more, it just makes jobs that don't produce more money than the arbitrarily-decided minimum wage illegal, and now nobody gets them. This apparently includes small coffee shops, but not e.g. Starbucks. The small coffee shop employees by the way seemed to have no problem with the former status quo, because if they did they would probably have either unionized or found other jobs. Instead, they all lost their jobs when their wages were legally required to be increased beyond that which the owner could afford.

Way to go, guys. Now nobody gets anything, except Starbucks, who gets less competition and more customers. In whose best interests was this decision made in, exactly?
Seconding this. I have never bought anything from Amazon. People here don't even consider it when making a choice. They just buy from allegro (our local eBay) and from thousands of on-line stores.

I don't know if Amazon has some cheap delivery here in Poland or do they ship everything from abroad.
I wouldn't be surprised if a woman of average and above attractiveness don't get unwanted sexual advances every month, regardless of the industry, unless it is clearly indicated that they are married.

In that case the 60% figure seems spot on. Of course the issue here is what we define as a sexual advance. It wouldn't surprise me if some propositions to a date were miscategorized as sexual advances. Not that it makes the others OK.

Here's a question for you people directly in tech: do you think the other industries are better or worse in this regard? Has there been any studies or polls or anything even remotely scientific to study this?
So if I wrote a song and recorded it for a friend to play it on the street for anyone to hear for free, this new proposal would surely have a legal impact in that action.

How to Protect Your Child from Abuse
Have been doing Java for 14 years so far, never ever needed the .intern(). I can imagine it's use-case, but anyway does seem pretty rare case.
The fact that no one has come up with any plausible way of doing this is so commonly observed as to be a cliché. See for example https://martinfowler.com/bliki/CannotMeasureProductivity.htm....

> So then the OP shouldn't have made the claim

Come now, it was you who moved those goalposts and you moved them half a field or more. OP claimed REPLs "have benefits". Your response was (paraphrased) "demonstrable measurement of productivity improvement or GTFO". That sort of ante-upping just isn't that nice for good conversation, and certainly not when you're demanding a standard none of us can meet about anything.

The gendarmerie and the carabinieri are both national police services (like the FBI). They also do things like port security.

I've seen gendarmerie, carabinieri but also local sherrifs offices; There is a world of difference between the first two and the last in terms of discipline and training. For example the first two don't make YouTube videos like these: https://youtu.be/CYunIrWDANU
We're just in beta. SenseDeep is part host-IDS and part cloud-side. The key is real-time. We want to detect attacks in real-time on the server or on the cloud-side. It has a GUI on top to unify and give a cloud complete view. The focus is DevOps and not companies with a security team. Not sure if this helps or confuses things.
It's certainly moving away from this.

Anyway, here's the short of it (this is not a justification of the approach, merely an explanation):

1. Researchers are supposed to be judged by their ability to deliver high quality research.

2. A current way of measuring this is a modified form of how many papers they publish. The modification is to look at how many times a paper is cited, but this takes a long time to see. To speed this up, you can use an average measure from other papers in the same journal. This is called the "impact factor".

3. Therefore, people want to publish their research in journals with high impact factors instead of hosting them somewhere for free. Journals act, essentially, as a badge of quality.

Journals do actually spend money on the publishing process [0] (disagreements around the actual cost side, I think we can at least agree that there is a non-zero cost). They need to therefore recoup this from someone.

Making things simply openly available means you can't charge the end user, so the alternative is to charge the researchers.

Unless your grant has money for paying these fees, or you can apply for money from someone, the choice is either pay for it personally or let the publishers recoup the costs.

edit - I forgot to add a key reason this is changing. Grant funders are now largely requiring people to make their research open, and giving them the money in the grant in order to actually do this.

If there's actually a labor shortage, B will starve for want of labor. Labor isn't just a cost, it's an investment, and the kind of loyalty you'd get by training someone without a lot of prospects in a high demand field for free shouldn't be ignored.
It's ironic how superficial your comment comes off, when you seem to have intended to convey your desire for quality human time. I'm slightly offended that you would consider any interaction with another human "low value". It's literally dehumanizing.
Sure. I don't know how to integrate that with LUKS, however.

But even so, once I had remote SSH access to initramfs, and had unlocked LUKS, I could mount /root and mess with the system, adding my own trusted key for remote access, etc.

So basically, users would need to trust me fully.

With credit cards, you personally do not have much to worry about, since your card issuer holds the ultimate liability for any fraud that occurs. Just be careful to use a credit card (attached to a reversible ledger) and not a debit card (attached to a less-reversible cash account).

Yes, although Hashtable is legacy from JDK 1.0. New code should use HashMap or ConcurrentHashMap.
It probably would be a good idea to mention powershell here. Very powerful and non-kludgy syntax.

I do all my FS operations using that now.

I'll give an example, I recently wanted to back up my arch packages but only the latest version for each package. Here's how I did it after maybe 5-10 minutes of trial and error:

`$k = (Get-ChildItem | Group-Object{ $ns = $_.name.split( "-" ); $filtered= ($ns | %{ if( $_ -match $regex ) {""} else {$_} } ); $joined = ($filtered -join "" ); $joined } )`

`($k | %{ ($_.Group | Sort-Object -Descending LastWriteTime)[0] } ).name | %{ cp $_ /mnt/Data/SuperShare/pkg/ }`

Contrast this with bash where I would still be correcting the spaces after and before '['

Quick PS crash course for those who care:

`Get-Help <command>`

e.g.

`Get-Help New-Alias`

`New-Alias gci Get-ChildItem`

Get-ChildItem is like ls.

`Get-ChildItem -Recurse` has, to my knowledge, no equiv in bash and is equiv to `ls /*` in zsh.

I guess I can write more if any of you guys show interest.

Assuming the vulnerability level is 1 to 1 (which I very much doubt) it still makes sense to avoid a mono-culture. It allows us to work around any single point of failure and improves the cost/reward structure for exploits.

Zero computers? Ok, you win.

This is a later version of our computer https://youtu.be/NtAF-WfWyGU

To load the OS, you first had to hand key in a bootstrap loader in octal (base 8) on the front panel. The loader would then read the OS from paper tape into magnetic core.

Our computer was a PDP-8/i. Someone mentioned that the PDP-8/i was about as powerful as a Raspberry Pi. So, imagine a half dozen schools timesharing a Raspberry Pi.

Currently, I'm writing for the Apple Watch, which is more powerful than a Cray-2 -- a supercomputer that cost $16 Million in 1984.

How does one get this job? This sounds ridiculously fun.
"If given a choice between paying for 6 months of training, or 6 months of waiting for the perfect candidate, waiting is much cheaper."

Fair enough, but then this is not a labor shortage. An employee makes their boss money. In a labor shortage, waiting for the perfect candidate is choosing to lose money.
I don't want to take the focus off the post and discussion which was about the web checklist. You could dm me twitter @SenseDeepSec or email mob. But briefly, we hit some of the PCI compliance objectives but not all. We expect to cover more ground in this regard quickly.
Pointing out that "In most cities there's a handful of women-only shelters, even fewer for women with children, and yet there's a multitude of other options not gender-specific" does not make what I said wrong!

That's why your friendly janitorial staff detach these and mark them off topic so they fall to the bottom. That way you only see them when there's nothing else to read.

One of these years we might implement a "More" link at the bottom of threads so you have to go to a second page to see them at all.
While it means well, I think some of this advice is pretty bad, or at least unbalanced. From the very first section:

> Encrypt all data at rest in the database

ALL data? How are you supposed to query against it then? What does "at rest" even mean in the context of an always-on database? An encrypted partition or something?

I'm not even sure what this is supposed to mean and it is certainly not common practise.

> Use secondary encryption for data identifying users and any sensitive data like access tokens, email addresses or billing details

So two layers of encryption!? Again, how is one supposed to look up an access token or email address if it is encrypted? And it strikes me that if you don't trust the first level of encryption, the solution is to fix that, not add another one.

> Fully prevent SQL injection by only using SQL prepared statements and stored procedures

That is an extraordinarily inefficient and costly way to develop. The correct way to protect against SQL injection is to use a framework/driver which guarantees escaping and to be cautious about what you allow into queries.

I could go on. The costs of implementing these recommendations would be staggering for the questionable benefits they would provide. It is absolutely possible to have excellent security without implementing any of these ideas, and I don't think they're helpful at all - and certainly not "simple".

Yeah but few people do that because building massive infrastructure on top of EC2 instead of using Amazon's managed alternatives is a great way to lose money, not just on the AWS bill itself but also on needless additional work for your architects.

Defeating vendor lock-in requires the development of sound cloud-resource primitives, and probably some regulation on part of government to not pay egress costs when switching to a competitor (since the high cost of moving your data to another cloud is anti-competitive). But nobody has come up with decent primitives because, you know, if AmaGooSoft don't need multi-cloud architectures for high availability, then why do you think you do? And government won't step in because none of the regulators understand how any of this works.

The definition of a business is an entity which provides goods/services to consumers.

The typical moral distinction b/w a business and other entities which make[1] money is a business (presumably) does it within the constraint of their counterparties enjoying the liberty of choice. This becomes a grey area when government enters the picture and removes liberties--which is why there is debate about the legitimate role of government's monopoly on legitimate violence/aggression here.

1 - note, a further distinction could be made between entities which create value, and those which transfer it.
Are you sure? I don't know how credit card companies in the US behave, but here in the Netherlands I called up mastercard to ask them whether I am liable for any fraud that occurs if I do something like this (or send credit card info over email, like so many hotels want). The credit card company tells me, yes I am liable for any fraud that occurs, because email and unecrypted text boxes on websites are known to be insecure, and so it can be argued that it's my own fault if credit card fraud occurs.
