I wonder ho such policies work when you're hauling a device for somebody else. "Oh sorry this is my husbands's phone. And that laptop? It's my daughter's." Or simply: "Oh my, I just got a new PIN and now I forgot it."

Is it permissible to punish somebody for not knowing or for forgetting? And if not, who has the burden of proof? I find that these questions have no good answer. For this reason alone I regard laws that take away the right to remain silent as flawed in principle.

Nah both partitions are 500GB... it's just that you avoid writing (or filling up) the "outer" partition so the "inner" partition is never overwritten.
Seems like you've posted in the wrong thread.
I think the parent comment is describing a scheme where the outer partition contains the inner one, so both are large. As the parent notes, this is dangerous, and you have to be careful not to overwrite inner data if you boot the outer os.
Contract Simply (S17) | Junior and Senior Full-stack Software Engineers | Austin, TX | ONSITE | https://contractsimply.com

Contract Simply (https://contractsimply.com) is looking for full-stack engineers in Austin (junior and senior).

ABOUT US

Contract Simply is building the first A.I., machine learning platform for the $900B US construction lending market. We help banks manage their large and complex construction loan portfolio using intelligent automation and integrated payments. Unlike a typical loan, a construction loan isn’t a single payment. Instead, it’s broken up into monthly payments called draws. That monthly draw process is complicated, with many stakeholders and hundreds or thousands of documents. Currently, all of this is managed with excel spreadsheets, PDFs, emails, and paper checks.

Our software helps lenders, developers, and other stakeholders produce and process this documentation automatically, leading to fewer errors, faster payments, and more profitable loans.

We’re currently small (10 employees), YC-backed, and are already working with several of the largest lenders in the industry. You’d be working directly with the founders in a company that values being purposeful, efficient, authentic, transparent, curious, and agile.

STACK

Experience in one/all of the following is appreciated, but we believe tool-specific knowledge is considerably less important than the fundamentals:

Elixir, Phoenix, GraphQL, React, Apollo, Python, sklearn, Kubernetes, Docker, and more!

Without endorsing, titanix's view of the article, I have to say it's bothersome that all the political examples leaned the same way.

It's an article about confirmation bias, and while most examples were neutral, they only ventured into politics when it would confirm the biases of a left-leaning readership.
A Universe Aglow
Because of intrinsic interests/tendencies, cultural expectations, pay (women often can afford to make less while their spouses make more), and finally the systems that naturally come about which enforce those things.

Also probably a fair heaping of sexism.
Was excited to hear about this since I imagine a very large number of users had to install the server for update caching and time machine server and now they don't how have to. Since the title would probably be better suited to say High Sierra Gains macOS Server Features.
Eventplicity | Fullstack, Frontend, Backend Engineer | Gainesville, FL | REMOTE (anywhere) | Full-time | http://www.eventplicity.com

We are seeking both a Senior Backend Engineer and a Senior FrontEnd Engineer. (Fullstack developers also welcome.)

About Eventplicity
Eventplicity provides planning and logistics software that helps restaurants book private parties and special events. We're a startup with an exciting growth trajectory. This isn't restaurant reservations. We book private events that involve the planning and execution of many intricate details. We provide a modern web application that tackles the surprising number of complexities involved in planning private parties from start to finish. Every venue is different, every event is different, and every booking is different. Join our team and help us build the right set of abstractions and the modern interface that will wrangle these complexities into a smooth, easy-to-understand online booking experience.

Our Stack:

Front-End: Modern Javascript stack (ES 2015+ syntax, babel, webpack, jest, React, Redux, Socket.io, Bootstrap)

Back-End: Python, Flask, Small amount of Node.js & Go, Redis, PostgreSQL

DevOps: AWS, Docker, CircleCI, Git / Github

Development Culture

* We greatly value high quality code and strong technical acumen.

* Since we're a startup, we understand there are tradeoffs and there will be technical debt. We can't make everything perfect. While we greatly value high quality code, we know it's equally important to move fast and learn from our users in order to succeed.

* We prefer stable technologies, but we also want to use modern tools.

* We do not make artificial deadlines. We work hard to be productive, but it's never a push for an arbitrary date.

* There is no bureaucracy (our software team is small).

Got questions? Sounds interesting? Feel free to contact us at devjobs@eventplicity.com
> It releases the same 25-minute sitcoms, hourlong documentaries and two-hour movies as other TV networks.

I actually don't think this is true. If you actually look at their original programming they aren't constrained by the same things as traditional TV. They aren't bound to specific episode lengths, or writing around commercial breaks, or refreshing the viewer on what happened last week, etc. Those might not seem like a big deal, but IMO they are more meaningful than a choose-your-own-adventure gimmick, which will certainly not become mainstream.
So it sounds like the Czech Republic has some kind of private health insurance system?
Edition (edition(dot)io) | Full-Time/Contract | Remote/NYC | $25-$50/hour | Equity, if you'd like to join long-term

Stealth, bootstrapped, close to launch.

We're looking for two people to help get us to launch a little faster:

1. A front-end developer with design experience (HTML + CSS, Bootstrap 4) to help us polish the design for the public-facing parts of the site

I’ve worked with front-end designer-developers in the past and it’s always been great. The vast majority of the design work for the project has been done by a visual designer and implemented by a front-end developer. Having a single designer-developer instead of both a designer and developer for the final design pass (polish, consistency, and fine tuning) would really speed things along. Design friendly team.

Email: Mike at jobs+design(at)edition(dot)io if you're interested.

2. Angular 6 and/or React developer to help us finish our dashboard. Experience with Draft.js and working with Django would be great, but not requirements.

Email: Mike at jobs+angular(at)edition(dot)io if you're interested.

Who we’re looking for someone who’s:

* Reliable.

* A strong finisher. That last 10% is always a steep climb. (Who’s hyped for progressive image loading?)

Who am I:

* Hi, I’m Mike. (Python/Django developer for 11 years)

* Angular + TypeScript for fun in my spare time. Made a massively multiplayer adaptation of the board game Codenames recently:

Perhaps the appeal of an assault rifle in this situations is the emotional charge a spree killer feels in wielding one. The marketing of the weapons - in fictional media as well as in gun magazines is that these are tools of power, probably something that appeals to the kind of a spree killer. So... maybe assault rifles being banned would be a consequence of their great marketing. (And why they get a bump in sales after every mass shooting?)
The US is not France. GP specified France.

"Equating investment, or return on investment of capital, as a barometer of "success" ... is a first issue"

No, ROI is a great measure of 'success' for an institution like YC, in fact probably the best individual metric.

" It is a perfect case in point as to where and how discriminatory practice gains a foothold"

Or it could be the opposite of that: a place where people are mostly free of ideological assumptions and discrimination.

"absolutely littered with male white dudes and a dearth of sociologists is a perfect echo chamber."

Making such an assumption is 'actual' bigotry, not 'possible discrimination' because the statement devalues the opinions of those making comments essentially on the basis of their gender etc..

Personally, I'm perfectly open to nuanced ideas on how all of this should work out. I definitely think there is work to be done, and we can be more thoughtful about all of this ... but I find so many of the SJW arguments are 'hammers' from the 1960's, like 'unequal outcomes = sexism'. Those arguments are having less and less validity. We need nuance and dispassion on the issue.

Lumicks | C++ & Qt Developers | Amsterdam, NL | FULL-TIME, ONSITE, VISA | lumicks.com

Lumicks is bringing novel tools for single-molecule biophysics to market, enabling scientific researchers across biology and medicine to unlock new types of experiments.

Our primary technology, C-Trap, can be used to "grab" a single molecule, and apply precise mechanical forces to it. At the same time, one can visualize the molecule using highly-sensitive fluorescence microscopy. Our customers use it to watch DNA being copied by the molecular machinery of the cell, or observe molecular "engines" walking across the scaffolding structures of a human cell. Lumicks systems are currently in use in opinion-leading labs across the globe, including Rockefeller University, ShanghaiTech, Max-Planck, and Pasteur Institute.

We're an academic spin-off from a research group at VU University Amsterdam. We care deeply about providing our users with easy-to-use, reliable software that actively supports Open Data and Reproducible Science. To make this happen, we're looking for:

* Qt developers

* C++ developers

Keywords: C++17, Qt 5, Python 3.

Yes I was asking which countries are known to routinely demand login credentials for online services, and I don't mean who does it for a small number of persons-of-interest but I mean who does it routinely?
Sorry, I didn't claim they were removed, I was curious why these were moved to High Sierra.
' What Happened When I Sold My Personal Data for Tokens'
I could, but then I have to ditch all the FFS features. I mean the whole thing that they're still mucking around with filesystem checks is nonsense. That was the thing of the past even way back in 2001 on SGI IRIX 6.5 with XFS, and we're still doing this.

Can't even do a software RAID 1+0.

> It should not [take?] 20 minutes either.

Fair enough; the tech I know and mentioned (OpenTimestamps) is tied indirectly to Bitcoin's blockchain confirmation speed, thus both slow-ish, and also probabilistic rather than guaranteed. On the other hand, it gives good assurance that the tool will be around for a long time, and able to survive any single service provider's failure.

> The crypto involved should be pretty trivial.

Depends on the requirements. The tech I know and use (OTS) is privacy-conscious and handles timestamping of documents without revealing their actual content. Instead you submit hash(hash(document) + random, private IV) [1], which provides for both anonymous use, and ability to keep the signed content private, as the signed hash cannot be directly tied to any plaintext. This isn't strictly necessary for publicly-posted web pages, but certainly is useful for private documents, security-sensitive documents, etc.

All in all, it's a starting point. Another possible approach would be to standardize submission to, and verification through a service like https://archive.is/, but that puts all trust into one 3rd party.

> Input: [plain]text

Directly timestamping the plaintext fails badly if the timestamping service provider is dishonest and creates an earlier timestamp for the content in their name, only to turn around and accuse the author of stealing the content. Or - a slightly paranoid scenario, but probably warranted in the post-Snowden era - if a whistleblower tries to timestamp some materials before distribution, but the timestamping service provider's filters catch the document and instead alert the government. Ergo, I'd prefer a blind timestamp, with the ability to reveal at the discretion of the author or whistleblower, even at the cost of more complex workflow.

[1] sadly this means the author needs to keep a file containing the IV and a bit of other metadata.
Yup, out of 3.733M annual visitor arrivals.
Isn't media wiki readily available? It doesn't use the latest bloat.js framework, which I think is a major positive, and it looks clear and readable on both mobile and desktop.

I suppose you have to contend with their markup language, but I'm sure someone has a WYSIWYG plugin for it.
People break through all the time. But there's no formula for it. It's luck + talent + zeitgeist + social connection. You don't need all 3, but it helps a whole lot. And you can have a whole lot of any of them and still not have lasting success. This is how the music industry has been for a long time, although the dynamics are always, well, dynamic.

What about the way the information is often presented to the average person as a justification for policy change. How often does the average person encounter information about global warming devoid of an attempt to change policy in relation to the information? That alone would cause reason for a person doubt the authenticity of the information since the source is seen as biased. Add in how badly news organizations butcher the actual science, and there is plenty of room for doubt that then can be exploited by those who specifically seek to do so.
They only reason border agents don't use a mind-dump machine is that they don't have the technology.
To be very honest, I find the methodology very similar to what drug trafficker would do to hide their drugs. And I don't think this method will end well for all parties either way.

If it works, customs officers cannot find actual illegal contents, and criminals walk free through customs.

If customs officers somehow detects you are doing this, you risk obstructing security measures.
If software with backdoors in it makes it past QA there is something fundamentally wrong with the processes in the company.

This is a classic case of a law that will only effect your average (law-abiding) citizen.

If you have something to hide, it would be trivial to store it on a web storage service that those searching you would have no way of knowing you possess (how would they know you have an account on some obscure storage platform that you paid for with monero? Or even just information stored in S3, they would need a list of all users linked to passport numbers for every service available around the world, since if they don't block VPNs you'll just use a service not available in NZ). So you wouldn't have it physically on your device, but you would be able to access it just as easily in 2018.

Or a free solution would be a noise.raw file that is actually an encrypted volume (many encryption formats are indistinguishable from random data).
While certainly related, I think GP was suggesting more that the same idea also applies to ease of development rather than raw hardware power.

It will be a fun interesting mess. Imagine watchers getting completely opposing messages from the show and not being able to discuss it coherently unless they specify which version they watched. And who will watch all the versions will be as bemused as the ones who never watched it. Open endedness is a far easier solution imo.
