I'm not sure if we ever manage to escape the equivalent of high school cliques. Even the the culture of professionalism is still a culture: it places emphasis on professional interactions at work and looks down on playing beer pong on wednesday afternoon. The bros aren't going to have the freedom to "be themselves" there, and would probably be happier at a more lax company. Again, going back to their own clique.

> What's happening is that only students from wealthy families are paying $70k a year, and they are basically subsidizing everyone else.

Not just students from wealthy families, but wealthy alums- the Ivies and other top schools have gigantic endowments.
The annual returns on the endowments of Harvard, Princeton, Stanford, etc. are more than enough to fund tuition for every single undergraduate at those schools.
India was like Greece, China like Rome. China had central control while India had independent states that didn't control each other politically but were unified in terms culture, communication, roads, infrastructure and importantly commerce.

Today it wouldn't make sense to say "there really was no 'Greece'". Same for India.

This only works with dedicated hardware, right? I can't just take an arbitrary board like the raspberry pi and do this?
I still don't understand the state of hardware tokens. Everyone hates Yubikey, but the closest alternative available is Nitrokey which doesn't even come close to the form factor, or support U2F in their most expensive key option.

Now I learn there's something called GnuK but Google leads me to an obscure doc on building it yourself.

Until there are better options out there, I guess I'll stick to my Yubikey NEO
There are significant cultural differences to be found within each of China and India alone; I'm not sure how you can say that they're culturally the same.

But all the iPhone 7 and Apple Watch 2 teardowns by Chipworks and all, in Japan and other countries, revealed the same NXP make NFC chip. Journalist Nobi was basically saying that he thinks the timing is right for Apple to go wide and enable FeliCa worldwide in the new iPhone models later this year. I think he is right. The law cited in the comment below has been amended to allow the Japanese government regulatory mark in the screen credits rather than etched on the case.

I have also heard from various sources that JR East did not have the ability to deal with Suica Apple Pay support issues from visitors abroad and asked Apple not to activate FeliCa for devices sold outside of Japan. Word is that this is not an issue any more.

Do not have access to iOS 11 until the public beta but would love to know if FeliCa works on all iPhone 7 devices or not.

There will always be a war between developers and sales. Sales always needs a foot in the door - and incomplete software can get them there.
The customer (and sales team) might even expect faulty software, but just as long as you can demonstrate some features can be delivered
that might be enough to get the sales through (and pay for the better quality).

It's great that we want great software and even make the customer be part of some feedback cycle but sometimes you need to play "dirty"
to make your company survive, and making your sales department happy is one of them. A good sales department knows the business and requirements
better than any developer and sometimes you need to listen to them and not "agile your way around it".

Too many drinks with the VP Sales guy yesterday. :/
Yes, I mean it as a metaphor. I do enjoy beer and video games personally and absolutely don't mind a group of colleagues going for beer if they like. Because then it is a group of colleagues out of many not company culture. I wont investigate the fridge during interview for stocked bottle. It is when the beer and pong come up as larger point during interview, when hiring manager brags about non-work oriented things whole company does together often. If they went the diversity by cringy art way and bragged about common coloring sessions, I would run away too. It suggests a couple of things:

a.) Less meritocracy - whether you appear as good programmer while you play that ping pong matters more then your code and responsibility. So it is signaling and charming game where I am at disadvantage. Also in worst case, in case you are good looking and succeed, such culture makes it too easy to assume/imply behind your back that you got position because of being sexy.

b.) It suggest that people with different personality types left. E.g. they might have different genders and races, but they are still kinda clones of each other.

c.) I hate having to stay overtime or during weekend because basically there was 4 hours long ping pong match at Wednesday and that is when CEO shares requirements, what (s)he learned from customer last time he visited and when design is discussed. I strongly prefer one hour long meeting about the above and then going to work and after work everybody does his thing (which may include ping pong).

d.) True story, I found it unfair when a dude was seen as hard worker because he spend 12 hours a day at work - except that he spent majority of time attempting to charm lady at reception and otherwise socializing.

I would argue that the world has moved on to expect more open APIs - events like Google I/O and event Facebook F8 reveal quite open technologies that encourage open innovation in a web context. WWDC, at least from a software side, is the closed garden and from a "next step forward" perspective, less interesting.

As a Mac user, yes I'm interested in the next version of the hardware, but the software announcements are only useful to the users of their hardware.

If Apple came out and said iMessage is now an open platform, then discussed their new chat capabilities, it would be a different story.
Um.. no they haven't. Function block diagrams do not support recursion. Unlimited recursion basically means a graphs ability to modify itself at runtime -- i.e., change the wiring.
Hi,
there are two different target audiences you point to: your SW dev colleagues, and the management. These are two very different groups of people, with different roles, tasks and perspectives. Adjusting your communication to their needs is a key to your success.
Here are a few suggestions on how to influence your colleagues to be better aligned with the security needs you see:
SW Devs:
- introduce hacking days, with CTF's and similar competitions. The purpose is to show how easy it is to hack the code. As competence and interest grows, focus the scope on particular areas you would like to secure/have identified as higher risk.
- invite a "real" hacker to share her experiences with you and showcasing some of the possibilities
- do a pentest to demonstrate the level of security. If no budget, do it yourself.
- access the system access logs, and show who is accessing the system. Also show who is trying to gain access.
- If using a WAF, show logs of the SQL injection attempts and and other nasties going on.
- get a pineapple or use Metasploit and similar tools to show how easy it is to infiltrate, sniff and collect data. Lots of people do not get this...
- Find one colleague who see the point (i.e. find someone to support you and help you convince the others). In social psychology, one is nothing, two is a crowd!
- If you have budgets, bring a colleague or two to events like Defcon/Black Hat, BSides events or local hacker / security workshops/meetups. Use this to build interest.
- Apply SDL (Software Development Lifecycle) and SCF (Security Culture Framework).

For management:
- identify and document the risk (as they see it, not from a technical perspective) - i.e. what business risks exists, how will / can / may they impact the business.
- make a case for improved security / secure coding: business value of providing secure products (reducing risk for customers, improved compliance etc etc)
- start simple, with one area/topic
- invite the managers to join the hacker talk (above), or better, have the hacker person do a 10-15 minute sitdown with management.

These are just a few suggestions known to work at other companies worldwide. Most can be done with no/low budget, and then they can be scaled up over time as budgets allow for it.

The arguments that hackers don't find you a relevant/interesting target as comments suggests, is BS. There are so many different hackers out there, and their focus and areas of interest differs by the hour. Do a serious risk and threat assessment, then make your decisions based on that. Keep it up to date, as the landscape changes often.

Check out the free Security Culture Framework: https://securitycultureframework.net which is quickly becoming a de-facto standard for building and maintaining security culture.

If you are interested in more on this topic, consider downloading the Security Culture Report 2017: https://get.clt.re/report - it provides some interesting findings on what influences security culture, how age and gender impacts, and proposes a standard method to measuring culture.
I mostly agreed with what he was saying until he made that non-sequitur about "postmodern neo-Marxism." Universities are just giving the students what they want: a piece of paper that allows access to the job market. Most modern university students do not appear to want an education and neo-Marxism has nothing to do with that shift.
Every(?) top-level comment in this thread calling for reformation of education through te tech and decentralization is being downvoted.

Many invested in academia here on HN, and "it is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends on him not understanding it. "
Right, but as I said, I'm not talking about whether the SAT is a good test or not. Just that the fact it explicitly tries to test precisely reading comprehension, basic writing, 'practical' mathematical skills belies the notion these are not goals of primary and secondary education. If they weren't, this wouldn't be a test for US college admissions.
Seven: someone with sysadmin privileges sent mail from her account, having printed the document from six accounts and only managing to get to "her" printer before loose documents were destroyed.
As others have pointed out, this view is extremely short sighted.

To add to the mix - what if you need a multiple data-center deployment/replication? Both Amazon and Google will provide you a greatly discounted traffic there $0.02 / $0.01. And that's only start. You can easily migrate from one data center to another, with no or little cost attached to it (try that in colo).
Firefox on Sierra is extremely slow. Not just javascript but everything else. Can't understand how it differs so much compared to being run on Ubuntu.
You truly need to read some real Indian history. The Mughals and their predecessors won North India by bloody conquest that make the British look like saints. I won't document the extraordinary slaughter during this period. See wikipedia for what Timur did to Delhi (after it surrendered) for example. He proudly describes the slaughter in his autobiography: https://www.ibiblio.org/britishraj/Jackson5/chapter09.html
http://cw.routledge.com/textbooks/9780415485432/19.asp

Due to the powerful Vijaynagar empire, South India remained free for some time. At this time, you actually had Queens ruling Kerala (Attingal Queens). When the Vijaynagar empire weakened, the Deccan and Delhi sultanates united and thanks to the betrayal of two Muslim generals was thoroughly defeated in the Battle of Talikota. The massacre and rapine that occurred after defeat is still known to the local historians of the area.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Talikota

Modern day Kerala was invaded by Haider Ali (Sultan of Mysore) though he faced very stiff resistance. He then decided to slaughter entire civilian populations. Believe it or not, it is thanks to the East India Company who supplied weapons to the Malabar Hindus who made constant guerrilla style attacks from the forests that Haider Ali backed off!

The princely states that comprised Modern Kerala never truly had a problem with the British. Travancore and Kochi were extremely rich and sovereign monarchies who gave their alliance to the Queen, retaining their rule and benefiting from the British in trade.

Oh, I agree. Besides, I find that puzzling. Women drink too. (Tho girls that wear girly high heels are at disadvantage at ping pong.)
YMMV, but only in the last two years of high school do I recall these five-paragraph essays being a substantial part of classes. We certainly did them from time-to-time before that, but we also did a lot of other writing of many different forms, and in the last year or two also did a couple "research papers" (in the classic sense, not in the grad student moving a field forward sense).

> Had I gone right out of high school I would have wasted a lot of time and money.

Why is that, if I may ask? For me personally, my goal was to graduate with a CS degree as soon as possible right after high school so I could start my much higher paying full time engineering job as quickly as possible. I noticed you also majored in CS, so I wonder what I might have overlooked?

> I guess I could write a very upset article about how my local mexican restaurant is SERIOUSLY SCREWING ME OVER with their drink prices

I notice that I drink less (too little, even, if I'm out for an evening) because of these prices. If each drink costs a few euros for 200ml glasses, I'd be crazy to drink a liter if at home the cost is somewhere between negligible (tap water) and 1.50 for that whole liter.

What I don't understand is why they can't spread out the profit margin. It'd make me feel a lot better about buying drinks and I'd probably spend more than I do now. Courses are a few euros in ingredients but I don't hesitate to pay €9-15 for it because I know labor is involved and someone has to pay rent. For drinks there is hardly any labor or ingredient cost (assuming all I ask is tap water, which is often since Dutch tap water tastes better than bottled water, and it's not cooled). Prices might also be higher because people don't order it in great quantities, which they might if restaurants wouldn't inflate drink prices to pay for rent (and other such costs), which would be so if you just pay per hour for a seat or something. I heard some places in Italy do that and people were surprised to be charged for it, but it's just itemizing costs and in my opinion more transparent.

Which is the reason Google still shows WSJ in its search results. So, you can decide to still go there even though it is a subscription website. But Google only works with things its bot can see. What you suggest amounts to boosting WSJs search position despite only seeing a small part of their content, because "we know that they are good". Doesn't sound like a great idea.

> order to avoid acknowledging the existence of said marks

Not likely. It's been common knowledge for a long time.
> There's no mention of the yellow dots, which, sure, we could argue that the NSA is just keeping that bit of tradecraft secret

Printers have been using microdots since the 90's; their use isn't secret. And the NSA would use other forms of forensic fingerprinting. For example, there's some kerning variation in that document, which could easily be another form of steganography. There are numerous other textual/grammar variations they could use to watermark a document.
Consider Switzerland. Proton Mail which basically has a business model founded on privacy and encryption , uses this location as a competitive advantage. Switzerland has some of the strictest privacy and confidentiality laws (all those private banks and secret bank accounts needed them :) ). Zurich has a good tech scene apparently (Google has an engineering center there) and ETH and EPFL provide excellent talent. Downside is cost. Cost of living is extremely high and salaries have to match that (I think salaries for developers are substantially higher than in London). Some companies set up HQ here and then keep bulk of people in Berlin or other location (e.g. Getyourguide.com )

Hi,

I suggest to use MailChimp, I launch my own[1] recenly and it's very reliable. As long as the list are under 2000 subscribers, it's free to send under 12000 emails.

If you go beyond that, then it means you should have some revenus from sponsor to cover the cost of MailChimp. MailChimp is very reliable and easier to get started IMHO. They can easily import email from a given URL.

Refrigeration allows you to preserve any kind of food and eat it at any time of year. It allows food to be shipped in to remote locations, which is important.

Air conditioning directly lets people live where they otherwise couldn't; it doesn't seem obvious that refrigeration is larger-impact.
People don't mind money and riches, they mind the over-achiever attitude and workaholic lifestyle.

I can work more and make more money, but I make enough for my lifestyle and I have lots​ of time left over for my family. I don't want all the money in the world if I won't have the free time to spend the money.

That's the point that's being made here. If I were to suddenly get 10% more money for exactly the same amount of work it's not like I'd turn it down, and if I won the lottery I wouldn't give it away.

That's why there's a law in germany that you have to present an Energy Performance Certificate when you sell, let or build a house/appartement. It shows how good the building is insulated and how much energy you need to cool/heat it. But then electricity is much more expensive than in the US.

I actually like the parable because it hints at another side to the issue, which is the perceiver, and though I'm not a woman I do get to sit in one type of disadvantaged social role in life, so I can relate. And I've given this some thought.

First off, while it's true that social factors are real, provable with data, and very annoyingly denied by many out there, the degree to which we tie our personal identity to a disadvantaged social identity is up to us. Evidence is pretty easy: talk to people in your disadvantaged social group and ask what they think. Probably most will acknowledge that it's a problem but that they can overcome it through working harder. A few number will not even acknowledge that it's a problem in the first place. And a few number will claim that it's such a big problem that it's insurmountable. I think the first group is probably closest to reality.

Second idea: it's easier to change ourselves than it is to change the world. That is, we can change our outlook on life by changing the narrative we've woven for ourselves. Whole point of therapy and a big part of psychology.

And thus, in order to avoid getting bogged down into hopelessness, at some point you have to maintain a delusion that either you aren't heavily disadvantaged such that working is pointless, or that you are disadvantaged but you're a crazy hard worker who can get things done anyways.

It would shock me if any significant advances in cryptography weren't progress in pure math.
I'd settle for consistent, predictable, and cheap. Generic doesn't matter if it solves my specific problem and ubiquity is a social problem. Enterprise pays a lot for bespoke solutions as well.

A very good reason to write your own software is if the problem is novel enough to warrant it. I'm not advocating that there should be n+1 JSON serialization libraries.
