that's actually exactly what stereotyping is. so if you agree with the statement in the article then you must agree with all the other stereotypes out there.
Crowdstrike has been wrong before and has some sketchy connections that are summed up nicely in the article here: http://archive.is/CogZx

The founder of Crowdstrike, Dimitri Alperovitch is a Senior fellow at the Atlantic Council. The Atlantic Council is funded by a guy named Victor Pinchuk who is a Ukrainian (and dislikes Russia), and he donated $25 million to the Clinton Foundation. (story found here: http://archive.is/DUtMN ). Furthermore (read the first link) the DHS report about the DNC hack given after a FOIA request amounted to TWO PAGES with information anyone could have googled from the internet.

If you just look at the wikipedia for the Atlantic Council ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlantic_Council ) it states several members have left the organization to work for the Obama Administration including Susan Rice. Susan Rice as you all know illegally unmasked members of the Trump campaign to hinder his presidency.

Finally I believe this article is very important: http://archive.is/DUtMN it shows the cozy relationship Victor Pinchuk had with the Clinton state department.
Not only that, it also means people will likely try to "solve" poverty in Africa and elsewhere by getting rid of the natives and populate it with higher IQ people, as eugenecists were proposing right after Darwin came up with his theory of evolution.
The word Whiz, is also slang for going to the toilet or to urinate.

We track issues by monitoring log files so we can quickly get to the root of the problem. Do you want your developers spending time writing issues on github/trello/etc. or actually coding? You should let the DevOps help the developers do what they are best at.

You get what you pay for when you use open source. You are either paying for it in time and or cash.
>Is travelling with confidential data really necessary?

Yes.

The whole travel with a clean laptop isn't feasible beyond a simple "access data remotely via VPN" scenario.

Company laptops are often so full of custom software (bootloaders & up) that it's impossible to replicate/reinstall a working environment over VPN.

They're crazy sensitive: e.g. On ours if you go too long away from the core network it freaks out and locks everything down. And recovering from that...well:

I've literally had IT tell me that my options are 1) Fly to the nearest office and connect to core network 2) They fedex me a fresh laptop that has recently been connected to the core.

I suppose you could argue that certain taxi laws were enacted to achieve immoral ends. That being the case, if Uber was really fighting for "truth justice and the American way" they could have imposed the socially beneficial aspects of taxi laws on themselves without all the shady stuff they keep getting called out for.
Definitely do not believe this to be the case.

I've travelled with Mac laptops since the Powerbook days and every single time it has been fixed in the country I was in. The warranty checks done on Apple Support make no reference to the country of purchase.
Definitely not great. It would create much more suspicion to have 1Password installed and not to have any data on it. Just uninstall 1Password before travel and re install it back after customs. Travel mode is a way worse solution.
It's hard to read the title here (or even the content) and not take it as a categorical statement, but I think this is aimed at a very particular subset of all open source: projects that have one or few maintainers, with relatively little time to devote to maintenance, and that are primarily developer-facing libraries.

For example, saying that you shouldn't allow a user to report an issue without an associated test for a project that is a UI tool isn't feasible, because there's no guarantee that the user is going to know how to write a test. The same goes of a developer-oriented tool that isn't strictly a code library.

The reason a library or framework is a bit different is because these generally fit in the culture of a particular language. That means questions like where a test goes, what the directory structure is, etc, should be relatively understood by a contributor. If the contributor is too new to understand them, this does leave them out in the cold, in a sense---but it's also important not to ignore the value of the developer's time.

Some may say, hey, you don't have to address all issues. And in a basic sense this is true. I have no obligation to respond to issues in my repo. But I'm a human being who likes to follow the golden rule. I want to interact with others if they are willing to engage me, but I also need to keep in mind that I have, say, 5 hours a week to devote to this project. Saying “bring some of your time and I will give you some of mine” doesn't seem rude in this context. Indeed, it seems natural.

If you're just doing a side project and you don't have the time to invest, that's fine. Go use another library, and be well. No hard feelings. If you're using this professionally, you're using my code to save you time, which is to say money in this case. I have zero qualms about asking you to invest a modicum of that time to reduce the few cycles I have that must be devoted to reproducing your issue.

Audience matters. And one must remember that choices like this shape the audience of one's project. If I decide to turn off GH issues and only accept pull requests, that means I've probably reduced my audience. But it also means I've set a tone for that audience. If that's the choice someone wants to make, I think they should be encouraged. After all, the more quality code that is out there to see and learn from, the more we all benefit---even if we don't use a given library directly because its interaction style isn't our own.
It would be interesting if service providers like Google, Microsoft, Apple, and Facebook started taking governments to court for unauthorised access to their systems.

No, but I believe that not being able to figure out the runtime-complexity of easy algorithms hinders you as a programmer.

This seems to be solving a problem that most of us would like to have, so it indeed comes out as arrogant. However look at it from another point of view. Imagine you are working on your job and a manager comes every 30-60 min to your desk to ask you a question about your project, often silly and already answered, breaking all your workflow (guesstimate about the email frequency for popular projects).

Wouldn't you basically device some way to avoid this as much as possible? This seems to be a similar case to popular, single-maintainer OSS. The largest open issues I've had I think was under 10 in 1 day after launching a mid-popular project of mine and luckily it was _after_ launching (so no middle-of-workflow). I cannot even start to imagine the load for a popular dev, and this indeed seems like a good way for a saturated person to offload some of the work to contributors while raising up the entry bar. Cmon, this is even a basic economy rule: supply and demand.

An alternative I've thought is, for purely one-on-one support that only benefits OP, redirect them to some support platform where it can be handled as the developer prefers. In that way it makes it even more viable for the developer to keep working on the project. I just don't love the perverse incentives it generates, but seems better than other alternatives.

>of a country with no deportation treaty with the US

I'm not sure what this means, afaik there's no such thing as a "deportation treaty" (perhaps you're thinking of extradition?). If you aren't a citizen, you can be deported, no treaty necessary. Furthermore, if you're at the border you're not even being deported, you're just being denied entry - you get to not pass customs at all and sleep in the airport lounge until you can secure a flight back to your home country, if the CBP decides to turn you away for any reason they choose. As a non-citizen outside the border, you really have no rights at all, and no recourse against any decision the CBP chooses to make.

Racing is about crossing the finish line first, so a racecar would always choose to go faster rather than slower, right?

Actually if you're in the last lap (or few laps in a longer race) and you have a healthy lead, it's common to back off the pace a bit and sacrifice some of that lead in order to reduce your chances of a crash or mechanical failure.

Aside from the general points in other comments as well as the article itself, I would contend that even modern philosophers are ignorant of real and abiding philosophy.

The contemporary conception and definition of philosophy, of what it is about and its methodology, is directly related to the misinterpretation and misunderstanding of the approach adopted by some of the well-known ancient Greek philosophers from their public works. From this error of conception and approach, over time a solely intellectual approach has been developed by the modern pseudo-philosophers with their equally pseudo-philosophy. Academia has never truly understood the real nature of philosophy.

As for science, well a similar paradigm exists for it in its proclivity to be defined and developed around a partial representation of what it means and should be, from the point of human concepts and its bias. In other words, it's been defined entirely from one philosophical perspective of life and its methodology oriented around that restrictive perspective. This is the reason that, until science itself learns to extend their perspective and conceptual viewpoint, it will never arrive at real causes or origins but rest on mere effects.
You're completely right! Levi's can be had for less.

That said, it's possible that your comment - and that of your sibling - picking on the price of Levi's may run the risk of missing my point. Which is not that Levi's are overpriced, but rather that it's not reasonable for the site in question to deliver on its promises at an acceptable quality at the volumes they claim to be doing.
Effective and fair markets rely on transparency, while this is the exact opposite - the deliberate creation of massive information asymmetry.

Worse even, the information asymmetry isn't meant to favor one side of the transaction over the other (say, passengers over drivers), but is meant to favor the exchange (Uber) itself.

Imagine if you went to your stock broker to buy 10 shares of XYZ. Your broker tells you that the market price is $100 per share, but in reality found a seller at $80/share and is pocketing the difference, without disclosing this to either party in the transaction.

Besides the ethical shadiness of this kind of action, functioning markets are predicated on buyers and sellers having sufficient information, and the exchange behaving in consistent and transparent ways. This sort of double-dealing undermines it.

Another poster snidely speculates that I may operate on a moral framework that finds profit-seeking intrinsically objectionable. This seems like a straw man that's intended to erase the difference between unfair market practices and fair market practices.
Not always true, I bought a Surface Pro 3 from USA and the power brick was not working, the Microsoft branch in the Netherlands replaced the entire laptop and I live in Romania. I received the replacements one by one (separate packages for laptop, brick, pen) from Germany.

What is the purpose of this comment? Do you honestly think Americans should feel bad that we won't exploit ourselves even further?

If anything the average American should be demanding more, not accepting less.

There is no morality in sacrificing for your masters. If anything it is immoral to allow the market to swing so low by accepting a job with such a low wage. Let the masters herd sheep, the current herders would serve society better by not accepting such low paid work and choosing to die if better work could not be found.

If your usage is more like math wiz, then whiz is okay.
An IQ is never a measure of absolute intelligence. Instead it is a measure of relative intelligence.

Specifically, there is no such thing as an IQ of 100. Instead, there is a mean score on a test within a population. That score might be 80, or it might be 597, or it might 8. By definition, if your score on the test is identical to the mean, then you have an IQ of 100 relative to that population.

If a second population takes the same test, and the mean in that population is different, the score which represents and IQ of 100 is different than the score which represents an IQ of 100 for the first population.

So, it is possible for two people to get the same score on an identical test, and be assigned different IQs.

Because of this, IQ values do not constitute a metric space, and anyone who tries to use it as such, like these studies do, is building their conclusions upon false premises.
If you really care about the issue, why abstain just because someone else doesn't want to count your vote?
I will not try to claim I know their motivations. But it's a security/OPSEC rule, and just because it doesn't apply in specific cases doesn't mean it should be thrown out.

And like I said, I believe their main motive is to keep the trust of possible future leakers, in the sense of insisting that they will never officially confirm identity of their sources for any reason.

In my reading, it was not enough to be a viable product, because it did not play back sounds. For this reason, it was not yet marketable; it could not be sold. It was less than the minimum product which could be sold. I think it's pretty clear and I'm kind of shocked that you disagree with me.
Meh - there are just as many people making the same accusation you are as to render it useless.

I read countless anecdotes on HN and hear many more in person of people with just the shittiest managers, of people who rarely see "competent" engineering organizations, of people who have "never" seen a competent project manager, that it really is a wonder we have any profitable companies at all.

In reality, if you don't understand the value someone is providing them, you should make an effort to understand what they might be doing before making claims like the ones you're making.
It's OK. The NSA already has access to their data. No biggie.
I'm very much aware of all the free tools provided by large companies that just end up reporting back to Google, Facebook, etc.

There are ways to prevent those requests, however. Install a chrome extension to block all adsense & analytics requests, fonts, etc. Black hole their IP addresses or DNS. There are plenty of concerted efforts to improve anonymity despite these issues (e.g. the TOR browser).

There are varying costs to these approaches but it's not impossible, or even that hard if you trust the Tor team more than Google.

I'm not saying there aren't additional avenues worth investigating, but that you nearly always have to decide how much efficiency/cost you're willing to pay for anonymity.

Don't Worry About Trying to Prove You Are a Smarty Pants
For some projects, this makes some sense. For many, it does not.

Issues aren't just off powerless users, their for users who are focussed on the downstream, not your codebase.

Yes, open source means of they want to get into your codebase, they can. It doesn't mean that it should be a prerequisite. Certainly, you'll get less distraction from people opening issues (invalid or otherwise) if you do this, but it's a particularly user-hostile move unless your target user audience has very similar skills to the projects core devs.

Strava has a E-Bike ride classification, so it would be no different to recording your normal bike ride as a run.

Facebook Won't Say If It Will Use Your Brain Activity for Advertisements
I am not sure how much it is in the interest of a developer to help the business to increase revenue or reduce cost. It's certainly good to come from a successful company but if you haven't worked on the latest cool tech you still don't look good. Even if that decision was 100% the right thing to do.

That's just my personal impression but I believe you have better chances coming from an unsuccessful company with all the right buzzwords than from a successful company with old tech. You will quickly be labelled as "dinosaur".

The real winner is to use cool stuff AND come from a successful/known company.
Of course they do. Just like people still use vinyl, drive restored 1930s cars, collect antique furniture, and watch black-and-white silent films.

> The value for that specific food is nil (for you), but food in general is still valuable and has intrinsic value.

> How many XML files have to be configured for this "easy to setup" backend?

As the others mentioned, Spring has not required XML config files in a long time. Spring boot requires nearly zero configuration, although it's a good idea to move out environment specific configurations out of the app. Speaking of, out of the box Spring works with yaml, properties, environment vars, command line vars, and the list goes on.

It really is a nice environment to work in, and if you don't like Java there is Kotlin which has worked fine within the stack IME. So many people only remember Java 5 and Spring where beans had to be wired up through XML configs.
yup indeed; and also it started already in December, not just January as stated above. Should've double-checked my memory before writing stuff...
Bryan Cantrill on Integrity
"That should go in an issue." => Why? Does it apply for everyone? If a developer is so saturated that they can only look at 1 issue/day, wouldn't it be better for that issue to be of substance than a random, one-off question?

I normally search through Google, which will find the best source for my question, be it Github or SO. Maybe the creator is not on SO because they have no time to go there.

I do agree on everything else except that affirmation though, but I also think you are looking at it from the point of view of a maintainer with lots of time, when that might not be the situation. The maintainer might just not like providing free support for a company, while still caring for improving the project. This just seems like a way of (over)filtering things.
Yeah, that's why I said 'if you know what you want'. It's not that bad though. The listings have accurate measurements. You do need to have a general sense of what would work for you though. The only variable that you are choosing really is waist size. Jeans are not hemmed anyway.
Council Tax is more a general purpose local tax. It contains everything that in other countries would fall in various tax like municipal tax, local authority tax, recycling tax, driveway tax, ... and as such it is paid by the person living in the property, not the person owning the property (leaseholder or landlord).

Property tax would be taxing the landlord or at worst the leaseholder exclusively.
