I don't know. I've received a lot of flak for even using Uber from non-tech friends/dates recently. I think the continual tide of negative publicity is definitely having a material effect on their brand image.
You responded to me.

I was stating that not doing what is claimed in this case (kissing, touching - sexual harassment) is simple, and it is. That's obviously not appropriate behavior. Most of these recent scandals include behavior that either isn't appropriate in a work environment or isn't appropriate ever. There's no discussion to be had, not being Harvey Weinstein is easy.

Add to that the fact our society continues to push the idea that the men which women 'really want' are aggressive in initiating sexual situations. A man who does something as timid as asking whether he may kiss a girl can assure himself of inadequacy. (Not that there aren't plenty of exceptions to our media supporting this idea—but it's still implied pervasively. And some of it probably is just human nature.)

You got into "general principles", which as someone pointed out isn't relevant to a work environment. Superiors don't need to be worried about sexual inadequacy in relation to coworkers. We can say that sexual harassment is is complicated issue, and it is, but there's also behavior that shouldn't be happening by any standard and isn't difficult to avoid.
I trust this AWS library because its not google. Facebook shutting down parse is another example of who I wont trust. I'm not sure how to figure out which services google will decide to sunset.
They also spammed Craigslist users (violating TOS and basic manners) with emails from bots pretending to be women.
There are various schemes to use an org mode file as your configuration, which gives you all the niceties of org mode: collapsible headers, language-aware editing modes, etc.

Here's one: http://endlessparentheses.com/init-org-Without-org-mode.html
our daycare calls the police ... quite a deterrent I'd say
I moved from ido-mode to ivy-mode, which I feel better.
Not really. Many consider Snowden a whistle blower but Manning a traitor
How would people react to the inaccessibility of porn sites? It is, after all, a huge part of many people's internet experience. And due to its taboo nature, it probably won't be publicly offered on the ISP plans.
Just pointing out that browsers are de-emphasizing the "green bar" (and, on mobile, almost non-existent), so it's of decreasing visibility/value to the website customer (and also the certificate purchaser).

We have a FAQ entry for that:

These same actions beat SOPA/PIPA in 2012. More recently ACA repeal. Massive contact to Congress that scares officials that they won't be re-elected, yes that works. It must be louder than the equivalent in campaign contributions that officials spend for ads in October/November.
I certainly encourage you to post anything thoughtful or personally resonant, especially as it is not my place nor my intent to police what ideas folks enjoy or discuss here or elsewhere. One could easily bring up some communist or even anarchist arguments for treatment of the EM band but they're definitely not mainstream either.

I don't personally subscribe to the homesteading concept due to the frequent historical problems with real-world examples of 'homesteading' resources.

On the one hand, I can recognize that the freedom to stake a claim on 'public' resources drove a huge amount of innovation and productivity in the American West. With it though came plenty of degradation, destruction and misuse as well. And one might even argue that it was only there to be homesteaded because the original inhabitants and their traditional cultures had been suppressed with force.

And the US Federal government has privatized public lands for things like military bases and Land Grant Universities just as it has with bands of the EM spectrum for emergency responders or other governmental uses. For the closest analog to public parks I'd look at the shortwave bands or ham radio operators. Even there, as in public parks, there are regulations on behavior.

It's an interesting discussion and in a more egalitarian world I might be more amenable to the view expressed by the original article. But today I look with deep suspicion on folks advancing the view that public goods should be privatized, due to what I consider a very irrational minority of people whose interests are purely selfish despite their claims to the contrary. Some folks wrap themselves in an ideology but really only seek to serve themselves.
I thought that it was Lockheed in partnership with some other major aerospace player using the Russian rockets.
Because they don't like the company or because they don't like newfangled apps?
There is a way to delete your data from Google or ms. Not Apple. BTW, there is no way to delete apple Id. Seriously try doing it. You cannot.
Completely unfounded nonsense. Their profit margin is much higher than the fraud rate (as others pointed out, if fraud was as high as you say, banks would have shut down the relationship years ago).
Our company cares more about security than anyone in our space, if you look at how much we invest relative to the others. We have full time penetration testers on staff. We contract out to countless third party security vendors. We take their advice.

This has nothing to do with not valuing security, it's just about being realistic. Can you guarantee that your company is hacker-proof? No? Then we're on the same page.
The alleged origin is a king who gave them as gifts, knowing they had no practical use and hoping the cost of feeding and caring for them would bankrupt the recipients.
It's probably more idiomatic to use org-mode (not that it makes a difference really). Here's a random example I found: https://github.com/larstvei/dot-emacs

Because they don't like the company. Most of them have switched to Lyft.
Same thing was published ~two years ago. Basically every time theres big crunch at Foxconn due to new Apple product unveiling they do a "work experience" month, where high school students are enrolled into assembly line sans payroll.
One of the experiences which led to me becoming a vegetarian was ordering a whole lobster and being forced to pick it apart bit by bit. It's easy to forget/dismiss that the "stuff" inside your lobster roll was ever a living, breathing, thinking being. However, when you're handed the whole animal, told to crack it open and stuff it into your mouth, it's a very different story.
It's ok. Sorry for being a bit cranky today!
Ultimately, because large traders care more about short term liquidity than long term solvency.
They also bought Molson Coors, "Canadian" beer... With the I am Canada slogan lol
That is exactly my point ;)
The irony is lost.

User starik36's comment was in a downvoted state. Which is what prompted me to write that comment. I didn't think what he said deemed a down vote because from general observation what he stated seems true.
Tower crane operators in NYC can apparently make up to $500k including benefits.

The barrier to entry is not low though, it's incredibly hard to become a crane operator due to the unions.
Of course, but they're talking about the risks/results of holding the entirety of a person up as hero when you may not know everything about them. Then they used an example they felt was relevant to them and possibly relevant to many HN readers. There was no suggestion that the actions were as bad.
It's rare to see someone so bought-in to the noise and lies that Ajit Pai is spewing here on HN, usually a more educated user base but nonetheless let's jump right in and counteract this bad comment.

First of all, the Patriot Act was a complete joke. It is a slap in the face to this country, and a great living example of how "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety", so using that as a "positive point" is actually the very opposite. But I'm not worried about the Patriot Act right now, so we'll move on from it.

Without Net Neutrality we end up with a world like this: https://i.imgur.com/0jXF92k.jpg

Now before you lose your mind and start shouting "hypothetical!" much like our problematic Ajit Pai has been slinging, this is very much a reality for those stuck under that ISP. [1] THIS is what can (and very likely will) happen if US Telecoms and ISPs are allowed to repeal Net Neutrality.

This isn't a joke anymore, this isn't a "well let's hear both sides first" kind of situation. This is an "act NOW" or we will lose the magic that made the internet the great connecting network of this planet.

Many topics on HN are open to debate, this is not one of them. Not protecting or supporting Net Neutrality is the tech worker equivalent of being an "anti-vaxer". The fact that you are supporting the insanity that the current FCC Chair is pushing, it terrifies me that you are anywhere near my line of work.

So we'll push back, we'll make the calls, we'll get the feet on the ground, because the comment you've painted is a horrifying reality where the powerful Telecoms tax every aspect of life.

Ageism flows both ways.

I recently had a landlord demand that I get a guarantor for signing a lease even though I make well over 40x the rent (the typical requirement). It's clearly because he (an elderly man) considers me (a young guy in my 20s) untrustworthy/unreliable.
Oh come on. For that to work Apple would have to become a major backer of a compiler, and even then provide major libraries that link to everything. And possibly even invent its own variant of C. What are the chances of that?

Oh. Well. I'll just be hiding in this corner, then.
This is why I qualified with "widespread". All the exchanges have poor support, and all of them have haters. It wasn't long ago that even seemingly knowledgeable people were urging people to get out of Poloniex because they were about to be the next Gox. Nothing yet, in fact they've gotten better likely because the exodus of many traders eased the support and scaling burden. Again, I don't mean to defend any exchange in particular, it is still the wild west and I'm sure a lot of shady stuff goes on. There's just a lot about the Bitfinex narrative that doesn't make a lot of sense, and it seems mostly because one guy has built a successful brand around beating his drum the loudest.
Weird, huh? The sounds are similar to tinnitus in frequency, but since they vary, your brain hears them as musical rather than noise... I guess.
I've done a lot of cross-country train trips, and in addition to NE corridor, travel radiating to/from Chicago and within about 500 miles is generally pretty transport-oriented (not just vacationing). And even in a lot of the other places, there are many of the more rural parts of the country where Amtrak is much more accessible than the nearest airport, and people there use it accordingly.
Doesn't setting "run_at":"document_start" allow the content script to run before any of the page's scripts? All of those ways that you mentioned that a web-page could booby-trap its javascript context could be done by an extension first.

>+ Use variables or functions defined by their extension's pages

>+ Use variables or functions defined by web pages or by other content scripts

Those are just consequences of the content script not running in the same javascript context. If it ran in the same context, then the web page javascript could access private extension APIs or otherwise break content script code. If you actually want to interact with the page's variables, there's ways to do that.
I don't expect it. That's why if a company offered it to me I would be impressed. It would speak volumes that they:

A) Trust their employees

B) Respect my privacy

C) Aren't paternalistic
If someone doesn’t make any mistakes no one would look up to them either since they couldn’t connect with them.
But how do we really know if it was misogynistic ?

Even Tesla has had allegations of misogyny and rampant racism.
Author of blog post here. I take your point on being more accessible, and you're right about the wall of text. I didn't think anyone would care about my little paen to emacs, and this is one evening's work from a couple years ago.

Regarding organization, I don't have much of a system, other than the filesystem under ~/org with a handful of directories. Works just fine for me. It's more about not-caring than caring, regarding organization of information. We really shouldn't have to organize this stuff. Emacs + org-mode allows me to not care. I love that.
Yeah this was such a PITA several years ago... To solve the problem we ended up building a small proxy in Perl for the express purpose of adding 2FA to Github Enterprise.

> I can make a guess on internet forum

On one hand, I understand that people don't want to be challenged or to write dissertations for casual conversation. On the other, we know that misinformation spreading through 'internet forums' in the form of 'guesses' is a problem, that HN isn't a typical internet forum, and that 'guesses' are often challenged here.
Anyone who does anything like what this post recommends should, and often will, get told to f' off.

The CME futures won't mean a thing if the spot price they settle against is being manipulated. The future predicts the spot price so the spot moves the future not the other way around. Since the CME futures will be financially settled against the spot index look out for another LIBOR type problem where the future doesnt do anything except predict an artificial number.

I'm mostly a C developer that spend most of my time inside Emacs.

I use ivy-mode instead of ido-mode, and avy instead of ace-jump. My setup includes yasnippet, flycheck, company, and ggtags mostly.

I have issues using the number keys. So I use a custom vi like mode, but heavily customized: Pressing spacebar results in "_" ("-" in #include), but intelligently. Double space results in "->", ".." results in (|) (where | is the cursor or point) and ",," results in "=".

Pressing spacebar after "(" results in "&", then "*" (also "!" if just after "if" or "while"). And my capslock key is just another control key.

All the examples above are to be assumed without quotes.
And so she leaves the company gutted. Painful to see HP in tatters.
This quote doesn't make it any more right. Argumentum Quotumdumb or Quotis Profundis is a valid debate technique, it but isn't a valid cognitive one.
Apple Finds Foxconn Interns Worked Illegal Overtime on iPhone X
So Google gets a free pass for collecting information the user explicitly opted not to provide because another company does it too?

I hope you realize how flawed that line of logic is.
Terminate, yes. Report you to the police, not sure.

Chargebacks for small amounts are often paid by the bank itself because it's cheaper than actually disputing with the merchant, so banks will certainly terminate accounts of customers who abuse that.
I was excited when I first heard XPrivacy and tried to use it from 2015-2016.

It worked as advertised but boy was it a hassle. I had a template XPrivacy setting which constantly broke app. It was too common to find apps requiring tons of permissions than they need and had to resort toggling the permission to see which work.

I got fed up and switched to iPhone late last year.

With iPhone, I can at least control which data to share with the app. With Android, I don't have control with either app or google.

I feel relieved and have been recommending iPhone to family and friends if possible.

The SoftBank due diligence team likely uncovered it.
Huh, except for the quip with calling it "Lite" and the simply factually wrong bullshit in the footnote that there would be no technical reasons, this surprises me.

He was the only bigger extension dev that threw a complete tantrum over this decision, refusing to even try to work with Mozilla to get some APIs into place, so that he could maybe actually port his extension in full. And now he's doing a port anyways.

Well, good on him. I do not think that his behaviour back then was entirely justified, so this remedies that.
You can socialize without bringing sex into the equation (which is how guys interact with each other). Talking about “removing agency” is disingenuous. It’s like saying that banning telemarketing calls is “removing agency” from people who really do want to be solicited. Women aren’t sitting around wishing their boss (or guys from work generally) would hit on them. We don’t need to construct the rules with an eye toward maximizing the contexts in which men can pursue sexual relationships.
The pain of git at 24GB isn't too bad -- still better off than using svn, I'd say.
Your questions aren't worthy of answers. Go back to 4chan, please.
Oops, didn't realize you were the same person, and I would've phrased it differently in that case.

That said, your statement, "With these scandals, it really is simple: don't sexually harass or assault others." was about the general issue, not the particular one. Additionally, both the parent and grandparent comments are general.

> We can say that sexual harassment is is complicated issue, and it is, but there's also behavior that shouldn't be happening by any standard and isn't difficult to avoid.

That's pretty much exactly what my comment said.
Emacs may need to be renamed to stEmacs, sixteen megs and constantly swapping. It's no longer 8 megs. :(
They'll pay for it all right, just down the road when it's some other executive's problem.
It becomes slightly more work if you depend on AUR packages (especially if you end up maintaining the packages you depend on!), but overall I think it's a great daily-driver system.

Great documentation - I am looking to document our own SaaS app API in the coming months, and am inspired to follow Square's lead in terms of style and structure.

Did you use a third party documentation CMS for that, or roll your own internally for all the formatting etc.?
HP over the last 10 or 15 years has been a complete mess. When Meg came on board she was determined to turn HP into a consumer electronics company, the way Carly had envisioned, so it's ironic that when they split into HP Inc and Hewlett Packard Enterprise Services, she went with the later.

It's really a shame what has happened to that company and how all of the parts of HP that made up it's soul were sold off for not being profitable enough. What we have now is just another bunch of Me-Too companies that do shame to the Hewlett-Packard name(s).
While technically true, I find the use of the word "voluntary" inappropriate here given that this was a requirement for the students to graduate.
I think your perspective is either immature or unrealistic.

OP's a realistic. His perspective is nothing to do with how a company values security.

No one in security assumes they won't get hacked, we assume we will and when we do get compromised. Our metrics aren't measured on if, our success metrics are:

* How quickly we find out
* How much damage we can mitigate
* How quickly we mitigate the risks and controls for X vulnerability and
* How we incorporate our reporting to find trends to find the event quicker next time

Now we report on many compromises. I'm not talking just about data breaches here, there's a whole spectrum of compromises that we manage and mitigate.

I don't know anyone who operates in Security who has a different mindset to OP.
Is that intellectually honest, to hide from the truth you know about your food?
Plenty of companies have disrupted plenty of industries by now, but without this kind of behavior. I don't see how the way they dealt with the data breach was required to disrupt the local ground transportation industry, nor was the way they've treated employees (including drivers) and customers.
The problem is this is effectively a reputation score; only you have very limited rights to see it* (once a year, per agency; and only if you ask... Oh and BTW, I pulled /all/ of mine just before it came out that the breach happened; :( )

Also a problem; they use simple knowledge of a single magic number as authentication ('identification').

The three current companies in the US could have gotten together and worked around the lack of a national ID and created a private SIN cryptographic... but that would cut in to their profits. Though I hear other countries that have done this also have issues with 'business individuals' being contacted and scam attempts rampantly abusing their data...

Ask HN: What are good resources for learning to scale apps with real-time data?
Particularly with AWS, Python, and Django.

A lot of resources simply boil down to "cache often and heavily," but that seems unrealistic given streaming realtime data that needs to be updated every minute or sooner.

Are there any other resources for learning about this?

(Currently reading through High Performance Django, for one.)
As a die-hard fan of the Charlie Rose show, I've been thinking a lot about this the last couple days. This is a post-hoc rationalization, but I don't think my love for the show had to do with the host, but rather with two things: 1. (obviously) The consistently interesting guests, and 2. The format - dark, quiet, free of distractions, it was a respite from all the different kinds of noise constantly around us.

I fear that it will be difficult for anybody to re-create this atmosphere and find enough of an audience to remain on air (I was always surprised Charlie Rose was able to stay on air, honestly), and I doubt that anybody will even try. But I believe there are many great podcasts that can fill the void - I'll just have to create my own dark, quiet, distraction free place to listen to them in.
Lobsters have about 100,000 neurons in their whole bodies. Less than half as many as an ant or fruit fly.

The author does not understand Net Neutrality. He gives Netflix as an example of a stock which did fine without it.

The author fails to understand Netflix will benefit if Net Neutrality fails. Customers would not put up with Netflix being blocked or classified at a lower tier. So ISPs are unable to touch it. But a new and upcoming Netflix competitor would be at a disadvantage.
Sounds like harbor freight tools and YouTube, possibly followed by a call to a real plumber to fix the damage...
