For those of us who never travel outside the continental U.S. (or wherever), it would be nice if Gmail had an option we could check that read, "Disallow international (non U.S.) access to my account."

This would add a small measure of protection, though is not ideal as compromised machines (or proxies) in the U.S. could still access the account.

Then you can query it for the address associated with that name.

It has some sort of API, would be much more useful if this was integrated with the official bit coin client though.

If you read the entire blog post above, it is quite obvious that the people behind OnSwipe don't really have a coherent understanding of publishing, advertising or digital, so it shouldn't come as a surprise that their product is an atrocity.

But onswipe doesn't happen on its own - someone integrates it in to the website. None of those people understand publishing either? It very well may be the case, and I think onswipe's problematic, but I don't think "they don't understand publishing" is necessarily a good charge.
Ok stupid question time.

Am I right in assuming that the way the password authentication works is, user types in a candidate password, it is hashed to a 512 bit hash, the hash is combined with the 512 bit salt, it is hashed again, it is compared to the official hash and if equal, access is granted?

If so, isn't that an insanely difficult thing to crack, that is, find a working candidate password?

Or am I totally at sea here?

I stopped when she "grew confused" by the weird articles. Perhaps she shouldn't be viewing webpages at all. Most people would recognize this instantly as nonsense, click the back button, and select another search result.
I haven't heard anything about the pilot strike mentioned in the article. That aside, I have the following to say which is oriented more towards flight attendants than the pilots whom you don't normally interact with.

Of any airline I have ever traveled on, the Virgin lines (Atlantic and America), have been my favorite. This ranges from the very basic things like more leg room than their competitors to wifi in the sky, to the excellent way almost every Virgin employee treats their customers.

This last point is the most important. I was on a flight last year where my friend and I got to the airport about 10 minutes late. The flight we were to catch from SFO was already boarded and ready to taxi by the time we got to the gate. We were put on standby and were seriously in danger of not getting a standby flight till late in the evening. However, at the last minute the plane (which still hadn't taxied) opened its doors, and 5 flight attendants got off.

These ladies were off-duty and were using their free flight options to go to Vegas for the weekend. Somehow they heard there were 3 passengers (us and another fellow) who had missed the flight. They all ended up getting off and giving us their seats. They didn't have any compunction about waiting a few extra hours to catch their flights and start their weekend, so that we could make our flight and start ours.

I've had other experiences on Virgin that are similar. The staff that have to deal with thousands of potentially unruly travelers every week almost always bend over backwards to make sure we are happy or at least mollified if we're pissed about something or another that really has nothing to do with Virgin, and especially if it is.

The point I'm getting to is that after a few candid conversations I've had with flight attendants, these people are paid shit. Fucking, low-grade shit. Pardon my language, but its true. Pilots earn a bit more, but its still crap.

2 years ago, one flight attendant I got to know coming back from D.C. said she earned something like $30k after several years. The average pay is lower.

Its utterly ridiculous that some of the nicest, caring people in the airline industry have to deal with such people as the general public (myself included, of course) and yet make less money than a manager at a McDonalds franchise. Day in, day out.

I'm assuming that the pilots union doesn't include the flight stewards. Given that, I would encourage the flight attendants to strike as well for better pay. They well deserve it.

I'm the kind of person that will pay a little extra for quality. I do it with food, personal products, and travel. I don't fly Virgin because its cheaper, though it often is. I fly them when I can because I enjoy the experience and don't want to be stressed out when I get to where I'm going. If it means that I pay an extra $10-$20 to fly Virgin so that their employees directly benefit, that's something I would do gladly.
I was completely unaware of the situation at Virgin Air before reading this letter, so I had no context when I started, but after reading just the first three paragraphs, I was already thinking "If I was an employee of this company, I would be skimming down to the last two paragraphs to see how many people just lost their jobs." Maybe "bad news" letters from executives all have the same format of "give a little history, mention problems the company is facing, promise that we'll get through this a stronger company, and then drop the bomb", because I've seen my share of "5% pay cut" and "layoff" letters in the past, and this one just reeked of bad news for somebody.

That said, it was a well written letter that showed that he had spent time studying the issue and wasn't just sugar-coating a "screw you" letter (I've seen my share of those as well).

It sounds like he's not really connected to the situation very well. He keeps deferring to management. "Management told me this", "Management showed me that.", "I can't speak with the union head, that's something management is better equipped to handle".

I am not sure anyone would ever expect Branson to say anything other than the company line, that he agrees with managements offer. That he feels those who are striking are hurting the image of the company.

If I were a pilot, the last opinion I'd care about would be the eccentric billionaire CEO's.

I completely agree, but I wouldn't assume that Microsoft isn't doing anything behind the scenes. When you are dealing with an issue that is generating bad press like this but your company isn't the cause (i.e. Microsoft) but it has the potential to hurt you, it doesn't always serve you to deal with it publicly. Microsoft's name isn't currently tied to the bad press, so it's in their best interest to work behind the scenes to do damage control without linking their name in the public's mind with the unethical dealings of Skype and Silver Lake.

I've read a good chunk of science fiction over the years, but the most accurate Cassandra I've talk to in my life was my aunt and her colleges whom were historians, futurists and history profs. Many of the recent big changes in the national and international economies and political environment were discussed/forecast by them over two decades ago. And a few science fiction writers have gotten some of these trends right, while failing on the little details like gadgets.

Yesterday's historian is today's prophet. Instead of tracking the evolution of gadgets, tools and tools, it's more important to notice the social and political changes in one's lifetime. Many of those have been impacted by technology, not always a positive way when viewed on a macro-scale. While technology advances, basically civilization/society is still the same bunch of greedy primates that existed by the Tiber over two millennium ago.

Do you define the usefulness of a piece of work as "fulfills a percieved need for the individual paying for it" or as "brings added value to our society"?

In the former case - every employee is doing useful work. The latter definition is way more restrictive.
Paying above market salaries is also a slippery slope. If your salaries are too high, you can send the wrong message about the quality of the work environment.

I live in Dallas and over here the shops that pay a lot tend to overwork you, they have mostly uninteresting problems, and they use outdated technical environments. For them, the high salary just helps them slap on the golden handcuffs.
Angie’s List Said to Pick BofA for Planned August IPO Filing
The Failed Experiment of Software Patents
It's patronizing PR pablum, I'll admit. But part of me thinks hey, at least it's the lesser of two evils (the other being the actual taking of a massive salary).

Even the least sophisticated Virgin employee is probably savvy enough to understand that Sir Richard doesn't need a salary, and that his enrichment from ownership of the company does not come from such. Accordingly, they probably understand that his "I'm not taking a salary" line rings a little hollow. Nevertheless, in their eyes, this is probably better than "I'm only taking $9 million base this year instead of the customary $15mm."

There are plenty of Founder-CEOs who do take hefty salaries on top of their equity stakes, even in lean years. By comparison, Richard Branson isn't necessarily a saint, but he's better than many.

As for whether or not he needed to call this out in his letter, I dunno. Decent PR move with probably little to no risk of blowback.
It's also in the open letter that he was requested. He had also offer private meetings with not only the union but pilots as well.
As an historical note, most of these concerns are the same expressed in RFC 3481 (category: BCP). You'll note from there that some of the issues are still open even if almost a decade has passed.
I think this is a really good idea. Startup? PhD thesis?

I think there's a bit of a difference writing an opinion piece on the blog vs going to a negotiating table with the union. Also the union management is not the pilots. They're there to engage the airline management & perhaps they thought asking for Branson might get more publicity or maybe he'd bring something new to the table. I am doubtful the pilots expected his opinion would differ much from management.
I have precisely the same characteristics in my (stationary) garden.

I don't understand what you mean by cavalier, I've always though of intuitionistic logic as having a more stringent requirement for things to be true.

The difference between things that came true, and things that are still as far off as ever seems to come down to how much energy they take to do, and (which is much the same) whether the advance depends on Moore's law or not.

Tiny computers that auto-translate - not much energy, just raw computing power

Jetpacks - lots of energy, applied in a big dumb way.
Your union representative also publicly asked to meet with me personally. I believe that would only cause more publicity which would further damage the airline and I am not best placed to deal with the details of the negotiation.

He has no plans to meet with the union. His personal meetings with pilots are probably more to brow beat & pressure them, instead of a gesture of goodwill.
I am 34 & learning. My answer to your question is whatever you think. If you think it is too late then you are right. The opposite holds true and I hope the latter is your belief.

These are typical results. I make networking equipment that has to deal with wireless connections. Our tests are as ideal as you can get without driving around for a tower and sitting under it (although we have done that, too). We're typically in an office, stationary. This means no tower hand-offs, and stable (relatively) conditions. Round-trip-times in the 20 sec range are not rare. I've even seen RTTs a minute long several times, and once saw even greater than 90sec.

What is really interesting is to watch the RTT while you run a speed test.
The index does not have to be tiny, the source code is. I tested with a 500k documents dataset.
Wonder if when times are better, pilots get good raises... But is there anything as "better times" for these kind of companies (as opposed to startups and other technology based ones) when it comes to prize their employees when management and shareholders take their millions from the profits?
