Do we? The overall sentiment that I feel in tech (does not mean that I share it) is that these professions owe their prestige to existing power structures and not their own merits or usefulness to society. Developers look down on bankers because it's banker's job to look presentable - and developers think of themselves as actually doing something of essense as opposed to making a show of it.
Just had an idea, maybe not the wrist for mobile devices, maybe a ring that is always on the hand that is on the back of the phone. I don't know, but I can't help but think of how things can be more secure and that there is a market for those with security in mind.

Might be something to keep check on, it supposedly doesn't release until mid 2017.

EDIT: Just thought about if this is open source, anyone could possibly tie it in with automation apps such as Tasker and really do neat stuff.

Um... Walmart IS a credit card shill, they have their own credit card - https://www.walmart.com/cp/walmart-credit-card/632402

We don't know Walmart's feelings, they may like the arrangement. Business go cash free for all kinds of reasons. Customers that use credit spend more money than cash customers. Walmart probably isn't one of those places that benefit as much as a pub but they may have a small credit spending boost that covers the fees.

Walmart is a really smart and data driven company and I'm sure they've weighed their options about what is effective business practices for them.

Why would the Syrian government torture and mutilate a 13-year-old boy and then return the body/proof to the parents?

Same with the current gas-bombs. What is the rationale behind this besides being pure evil? Assad made great progress in Syria and is pushing back ISIS and Al-Nusra. There was no strategical need for dropping gas but still, he apparently did... why would he?

Doesn't make sense to me...
You can co-opt Chromium's. I've been doing that with a project I'm working on and it has worked quite well.

I'm also not sure where you'd lose much performance. If you hand the file handles/sockets and backbuffer to the renderer, you only need enough IPC to synchronize the drawing. Sending small messages on the order of 100 times per second between processes is not going to be a bottleneck.

> Not sure of exact numbers, but I think we're doing 4-5m writes per second across one Kafka cluster, and around 1m writes per second against another.

I'm not saying that's the case with your system, but my immediate thought when I see those numbers is: how much of the value from those 4m/s writes could you get with a system that did something like 100 w/s? Either through sampling/statistical methods, reduce "write amplification" or simply looking hard at what is written and how often :-)
One perspective in the article was about productivity and some belief that professional business attire had fewer distractions, so in theory helped productivity.

After working 20 years in a large corporate environment where you could and I did accidentally literally brush shoulders in the hallway with a Fortune 500 executive this is utter nonsense. There are so many opportunities in a large company to improve productivity that people's attire would be near the bottom of that list.

I like working more in a startup culture where there is less ceremonial BS and more focus on delivering value.

Milosevic and Tudjman were nationalistic idiots who LITEALLY conspired together to start the war.

It was agreed upon. Banque Franco Yugoslave was jointly owned by them- they started the war so that they could raid state assets from it under the guise of war and strife.

Please don't be so one-sided. The Yugoslav education system in the 70s was excellent and produced scholars from all nationalities and religions who are still working today.

Milosevic was a partisan idiot elected after a decade of economic instability (once again orchestrated by the West)

Then you change the media from capitalist goals to propaganda.

While everyone agrees that media that cares for views and nothing else can be nasty, it's the inly 'objective' measure of what media should show that we can get. When media editors start using their influence for (in this case, very noble) political goals, we find ourselves at their mercy.

There's a constant theme in modern democracy that when a certain institution tries just to be a projection of it's customers wishes, it can reveal that these wishes aren't that good. Like Airbnb hosts being racists - is it the problem with individual hosts, or should Airbnb be responsible? Same with media and views: if people react better to sensationalizm and terrorist manifestos, should the media filter their disguisting desires, like a big caring brother, that knows what's best for us? Or should it do whatever we want, showing us all the gore and uglyness?

I don't have the answers, and most importantly, I don't think I have a logical framework for these problems. Do you?

I don't understand how media outlets that report on terrorism (by which I mean the 24hr coverage cycle) aren't charged with being accomplices or accessories to these terrorist acts. We know what terrorism is, mass murder + widespread knowledge of aforementioned murder + political motive.

Look I'm not saying we just trash the 1st amendment but there has to be some reasonable compromise that can be made in cases where violent crime is used in order to grab headlines for some political cause. I'm not saying don't do any reporting on terror either but there's gotta be some hard line of what's definitly being irresponsible.

This comment remind me of Michael Lewis's profile of Greece during the 2008 financial crisis...

http://www.vanityfair.com/news/2010/10/greeks-bearing-bonds-...
'The easiest way to cheat on one’s taxes was to insist on being paid in cash, and fail to provide a receipt for services. The easiest way to launder cash was to buy real estate. Conveniently for the black market—and alone among European countries—Greece has no working national land registry. “You have to know where the guy bought the land—the address—to trace it back to him,” says the collector. “And even then it’s all handwritten and hard to decipher.” ...Relationships with the rich and famous were essential in Vatopaidi’s pursuit of government grants and reparations for sackings, but also for the third prong of its new management’s strategy: real estate. By far the smartest thing Father Ephraim had done was go rummaging around in an old tower where they kept the Byzantine manuscripts, untouched for decades. Over the centuries Byzantine emperors and other rulers had deeded to Vatopaidi various tracts of land, mainly in modern-day Greece and Turkey. In the years before Ephraim arrived, the Greek government had clawed back much of this property, but there remained a title, bestowed in the 14th century by Emperor John V Palaiologos, to a lake in northern Greece. By the time Ephraim discovered the deed to the lake in Vatopaidi’s vaults, it had been designated a nature preserve by the Greek government. Then, in 1998, suddenly it wasn’t: someone had allowed the designation to lapse. Shortly thereafter, the monks were granted full title to the lake.'
...which they exchanged for government land at inflated value and then got into the bond market.

Just curious if anything like that exists.

Well, which one of them. There's nearly a hundred different subtitle formats, and each one has a whole set of variants. Just Timed Text alone (XML) can have more layouts than one could count, specially since it's meant to be able to replicate technically all previous industry formats.
The most reasonable compromise that could be made is to force western media to report on the casualties of the war being waged by western military forces.

We'd all be far less inclined to knee-jerk react to a 'terrorist attack' if we were more aware, daily, of just how many civilians WE have killed recently.

Alas, nobody wants to hear that news.

Costco doesn't take cash. Probably the biggest physical retailer that doesn't.
I have to say, I am impressed at how journalists are able to find new ingenious ways to write whole articles about the attacks without mentioning Islam or why it was perpetrated even once.

On a more serious note, we westerners are probably not the target audience of these attacks, so I'm not sure hiding them from our population will do anything to prevent the news from reaching their target audience. I seriously doubt ISIS potential recruits get their news from Buzzfeed.
Anyone else find it ironic that Buzzfeed is talking about how we should curb propaganda?
You can get specially made summer suits made out of light and breathable material like linen. Obviously you wouldn't wear a whole 3 piece suit in the middle of a 40 degree summer day.

the dirty secret of jeans and t-shirts is: the good looking and good fitting jeans and t-shirts are pretty damn expensive. and those band t-shirts, if authentic, probably are too. it has become a fashion category in and of itself, complete with a high end range.

jeans are all over the spectrum, but unless they are obviously from a giant bin at a discount store, probably are at least $100, likely above $200 per pair. and there are plenty of $500 pairs of jeans out there...

my casual white dyed hemp rainbow sandals are $50, some of the special edition ones i've had over the years (braided leather, etc). are $100+. pretty expensive for basically a flat piece of rubber and a strap of material covered in cloth.

when someone shows up to work in truly cheap jeans/t-shirt/sandals, it doesn't look good, they look trashy and nothing fits properly.

it's just a signal of spending power / hipness on the more casual side of the scale. i've seen people dressed in "jeans and t-shirts" wearing vintage swiss watches. in wealthier areas where a tech company would be, a casual 'jeans and t-shirt' outfit could cost either $25 total or $1000 total.
Whoah. Careful! Timing attacks aren't relevant to password hashes, because the user doesn't control the hash, only the input to the hash, whose output is unpredictable. But cases like the TripleByte quiz, in which a user is directly submitting a hash to check (typically: an HMAC on a message) are totally relevant; in fact, they're the most common kind of legitimate timing attack.
Thats not the problem, the problem is that no one seems to care anymore. Thats very, very disturbing.

If the penalty is "you get shot in the back of the head" or even just "you spend a year or two in a comfy minimum-security prison" and the probability is "non-zero", most rational people aren't going to assign a high enough value to "not having some money confiscated" to choose circumvention.

I don't buy it. Issues are great for users and mantainers in many manyways. I agree that it may be frustrating when you don't want to be a support center for users, but then you should just ignore those.

My favourite approach is to make all issues LABELED, then you can easily focus on those which you need, and let other issues for people who have time to read and help them.

In fact, github issues are indeed for asking for help:
"Issues are used to track todos, bugs, feature requests, and more. As issues are created, they’ll appear here in a searchable and filterable list. To get started, you should create an issue."
