It's likely referring to the SCI status - the point of SCI, over and above just Secret or Top Secret, is that you have different "compartments" (clearances) for different categories of information. A guy with SCI working for the DOE would see much different information than a guy working for the DOD, or the FAA. And it's much more granular than that. I don't know anything about how the SCI compartments are created, only that you can be cleared for one more many when you reach that point, though you'll never know the full gamut of which compartments exist or don't exist until you are cleared for each one.

Thus, there are likely many clearances/compartments that a great many people don't know exist or don't exist. I suspect there isn't really anyone who knows what every compartment is.
You're effectively asking that conviction precede an arrest, albeit in relation to a website rather than a person. That's not how things work; a strong showing of probable cause is sufficient to act, and the complainant is bonded against the possibility of misidentification. That's only $20,000 per claim of infringement, but when you think about it that adds up to a total of over $6 million that Chanel has paid over to the court as surety that it is acting in good faith. In other words, the company is literally putting its money where its mouth is, and will lose some or all of that money to the extent that its allegations are inaccurate.

To be fair to big banks (this doesn't sound like me...), the boiler room operator steals all of your money and the bank doesn't. You might not get the return you're expecting but at least they won't straight up steal from you. It is different.

If a proposed war is genuinely necessary for national self-defense, then at a minimum it should be possible to convince the nation's wealthiest to pay for it. If they can't be so convinced, then the war is either unnecessary or the war's advocates are probably too incompetent to wage it effectively.

IE9 is great, if you're still developing websites from 2-3 years ago. I wish it had been available back then. For today's sites, you need IE 11, most likely.

I agree that the form is a bit long, but it didn't take me more than 5 minutes to complete. I got the swab kit a few days later, swabbing took less than a minute, and it was ready to mail. Six minutes of work to potentially save someone's life, just do it.
Even given the variations of security clearances in use, there is the requirement that classified information is always and only distributed on a "Need to Know" basis; two people with exactly the same level clearance may still have official secrets from each other.
That argument makes sense only in a fully logical environment. The whole body of research into market norms and social norms shows that people are not fully logical in such contexts.
How do you establish "distance to work"?

While searching for an apartments, I've always wished I could have a "heat-map" overlay of distance-to-work, taking into account traffic at given commute hours.

I suppose this should be possible nowadays with Google Maps' APIs.
Something very similar has been done years ago: http://www.city-data.com/accidents/acc-Chicago-Illinois.html. Per-city mapping using Google Maps with additional info and Google street map when clicking on each marker.
It costs money to sequence DNA and calculate someone's ancestry. 23andMe loses money whenever it sells a kit. Are you seriously too lazy to save a nonprofit a few hundred bucks by spending 1 second to indicate your race?

Also, every time I buy something at a store, I have to give them my addresses. Including my phone number and a few extra ways to contact me in case I move, and you know, someone is dying and needs my help, sounds pretty reasonable.

You're not ignoring those people. By signing up for the registry you can be matched against anyone who needs it. Whether Amit finds a donor or not (fingers crossed) his drive to get people tested will help other South Asian leukemia patients.
There's still a lot of other people who need a matching donor.
I really have a hard time seeing any of this stuff as out of line, particularly asking for your race. Much easier and cheaper to ask you than to figure it out themselves... if it's a privacy thing, why would you be ok with giving them your DNA, but not telling them your race?
Also if you're already in the registry, make sure that you're contact information is up to date.
Yes, unfortunately. If the app does have unrestricted web browsing then you have to rate it 17+.
The Most Common Questions About How To Trade Forex Answered
When I first heard about the Bell-LaPadula model ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell%E2%80%93LaPadula_model ) in my security class, it was pretty eye opening, especially the notion that once you're given a certain level of access, you can no longer write at lower levels. I think it might explain in part the explosion in the amount of classified material generated each year.
Shades of Zuck? New Path App Automatically Opts You into Sharing Your Location
Dare I say worse? ;)
If you read about computer history much, and the university of utah is mentioned quite a bit. They were one of the first four computers on the ARPANet, a hotbed for graphics research, and the alma mater of Alan Kay, Ed Catmull and John Warnock. A bunch of early Pixar people came from there, and a number from PARC. Perhaps its because I don't know much about Utah, but it always surprised me how important it was to computer history, especially in relation to graphics.

Unless the process is completely decentralized, there must be someone approving new compartments. They probably know at least a little about each one.
Are you still a US citizen? If not, where? Is your startup registered in the US (i.e. a Delaware LLC)? If not, where?

What country/ies are appealing to you to switch citizenship and registration to, if any, for economical and legal reasons?
Markets only exist when some regulator sets them up and enforces the terms. Right now it would be very hard to pay for an unwilling donor and there is a high risk for everyone involved. If this were made legal, the assumption would become that every donor was willing and that they got fairly compensated for fulfilling their end of the deal. Criminals and other shady types would find this less risky and more profitable.
> our very consistent feelings toward privacy

Except Zuckerberg knows that our feelings about privacy aren't all that consistent. People have become more willing to share personal information online; things that previously caused public outcry about privacy have become normalized.

Zuck's confounding privacy settings aren't (completely) to blame. Facebook and other online social tools have led us to genuinely change our feelings towards privacy.
Teams aren't constructed to pivot, but that's kind of the point of Lean Startup. You should ideally be able to validate an idea with a skeleton crew (or an individual). The bigger the team necessary to validate the issue (some problems are BIG, and require big teams), the more difficult it is to pivot. The primary goal of a startup is to learn, so the team should only be big enough to learn more about the problem area, and learn about the means to an appropriate solution. Teams built to compete will have more trouble than teams built to learn.
Losses on the sales funnel means the number of people that drop off from the first page of your website all the way through purchasing the product. Getting someone to pull out a credit card is a huge challenge, there's no way you can make it anywhere near as effective a one-click purchase like Amazon or iTunes has. This is not even counting the discovery aspect of the store which is a powerful discover channel completely supplemental to whatever marketing you are doing on your own.

I guess : The company pays tax wherever it is domiciled - and that's a matter of corporate tax rates, money transfer restrictions, and other red tape.

On a personal basis, it makes a huge difference whether one is a US citizen (where you have to pay the USA on the first $80k of your worldwide income, whether you are in the US or elsewhere) or not (most countries only tax you when you are tax resident).

For those not caught in the worldwide income trap, most countries only clock you in as a tax resident if you're there for more than 180 days in a year. If one can happily move on every 5 months (eg: Summer in France, 'Winter' in Chile, plus a couple of spare month's vacation) - then one can live tax-free legally...
True, though I have to admit that Neelie Kroes seems to have plenty of both executive authority and the willingness to exercise it in a muscular fashion. It helps that the EU privacy protections are closer to the constitutional than the legislative level.
the difficulty of the pivot is entirely defined by the pivot angle and progression of the project. for moderate progression, angles < 90deg. are not so bad, most of your vision remains aligned. > 90deg. is very hard and >135deg. - abandon ship!

we just finished a drawn-out consumer-centric to provider-centric pivot of maybe 30deg. with the project was already at at 75% completion but we felt very little pain because the core value model did not change, we just shifted gears, reworked a few features and here we are, 30 days before public beta. we have fairly little investment as well - approx 250k and a team of 6.

if your core value targets a very narrow market, you are more susceptible to these difficulties.

But isn't teaching 'lowish-level graphics programming' the point of this book?

If you learn it with the fixed function pipeline it is actually harder to understand the low-level concepts. Simply consider the color issue: calling glColor once will set the color for all vertices that you are going to emit; the hardware, however, does not work like that. Shaders on the other hand make it clear how the pipeline works.
I thought I read somewhere once that it was a violation of security procedures to reveal your security clearance level (unless it was in doing your job to access information). Is it ok to mention you used to hold a top secret SCI after the fact?
The Girl Who Silenced The World For 5 Minutes
I understand it can be frustrating, but saying that the OSS developer "lied" to you is exactly the wrong kind of attitude I'm talking about.

Underlying libraries break, people have weirdly configured environments, browsers ship with new unexpected updates. There are a million legitimate reasons that things don't work at any given moment (yes, even the examples in documentation). Furthermore, the documentation often takes as much time and effort as the code itself, so it's entirely possible that the developer just hasn't had a chance to update the docs yet.

At the time you encounter your problem, you have no way of knowing why it's not behaving as you'd expect, or what led to such a circumstance. Having an attitude when submitting a ticket (as if the developer lied to you) is entirely counter-productive to finding a solution, even if you're right.
I agree that it probably would not make a big difference, but since there _have_ been reports of interference, the FAA errs on the side of safety, IMO for good reason.

My main point was that it's not an either-or thing that so many commenters make it out to be. It's possible to want to mitigate the potential effects of interference even though this interference is not very likely to cause accidents.

As aircraft are being more thoroughly tested (for instance with WiFi networks and picocells) more and more devices will be allowed, and maybe one day we'll be able to use electronic devices during takeoffs and landings as well. But, like all things in the aviation world, it will take time.
I am ignoring those people. Amit's high profile presence has made me think about the problem more, but I have not gone out of my way to see if any other people might be in need.

Sure, my registration in the database will help to match me against other people in need, but it doesn't inform me of people who are in need that I don't match.

See, that's what I mean. I feel guilty that I can't tell others about the thousands of people who are also in need. And really, even if I knew who all these other people were, my friends and family would get terribly annoyed that I would be telling them all about hundreds or thousands of other people in need.

See the problem? We care about Amit because he's high profile (and I'm glad we are trying!), but we do very little for the more 'anonymous' types. That's where my guilt comes in.
IANAL, but I believe that if the copyright of the review is owned by your employer (since you wrote it for him), then you would not have the legal right to assign the copyright to your dentist, and therefore the copyright clearly remains with your employer.

iCam Turns iPhone Into Point & Shoot
It's trivial to support two orientations, but Apple had (has?) a guideline that said you must support all four orientations. That's not necessarily trivial, although Apple's UI kit has features to help you there too.
Yes this is much worse and should get 10x the attention. Reason for me to be suspicious of every Android phone I'll get (I assume there are ways to remove it and that it's not shipped on non-contract Nexus). The reason a comparatively minor iPhone scandal gets so big is because everything Apple related gets now over-hyped in the media. You could say Jobs has marketed the Apple brand very well.
I've chosen to stay in Vancouver for personal reasons. I like it here but it's not much fun to see friends find only mediocre opportunities locally and then end up in Mountain View making ~six figures. Unfortunately as mentioned above this creates a sorting process where the best and brightest leave.

There is a growing startup scene here, but the cost of living hurts -- this is the land of $60-70K salaries and million dollar houses. Real estate costs are such that the startups mostly seem to end up around the drug-addled Downtown Eastside, which can be interesting to say the least. Vancouver's a nice city but it's also kind of crazy.
Both Apple and Microsoft seem likely to support ARM-based hardware soon so laptops are likely to close the gap here.
Full disclosure up front: I work for IndieGoGo. I can't speak for other crowdfunding platforms, but I assume that they're similar on this topic.

A lot of people bring up the possibility of fraud with these crowdfunding sites (IndieGoGo, Kickstarter, Rockethub, etc.). While fraud is definitely a concern with crowdfunding, it turns out to be a much smaller problem than you would think.

First of all, the very nature of crowdfunding seems to act as a natural brake on fraudulent behavior. While it's easy to fool one person, most campaigns have dozens or hundreds of contributors. It's trivially easy for any of those contributors to sound the alarm (to the crowdfunding platform and other contributors) if there's anything fishy.

To reinforce this point, it's also been shown that "outside contributions" (contributions from people not personally connected to the campaign or campaign owner) generally don't happen until a campaign's received around 30% of their target amount. Social proof is really important, and it's hard to get if you're a scammer.

Secondly, we (IndieGoGo) take fraud very seriously and invest a lot of resources into preventing it. We've got several layers of automated fraud detection, as well as a couple sets of human eyes on every campaign. While we can't guarantee fraud won't happen, we make every effort to make it vanishingly small.

In a nutshell, we're working pretty damn hard to make crowdfunding a safe and trustworthy marketplace. So far, the results seem pretty positive.

As for the specifics of this legislation: No comment, other than "We're looking at it."
Solutions to that are coming as well. We see parallel processing abilities for JS starting to take shape like Intel's RiverTrail project, and initiatives like WebCL to bring the power of the GPU to the browser as well.
I've found that people new to start-ups haven't heard of Utah Based Start-ups because their community is so isolated. Utah based start-ups are in the Valley as well, but they are a very self-segregated group. Nevertheless they make valuable contributions to computing so I'm not complaining.
> It sounds like you're equating basic social engineering to an elaborate, large-scale, nearly impossible architectural trick.

Seems about proportional to the difference between having a stolen car and having a fake friend account. I mean honestly what are you going to do with that? Find out some posts that hundreds of other people know about and would probably tell you if you called them up and asked? Stage an elaborate ruse with the fake account that will fall apart the second the target communicates with the real person on a non-Facebook channel? I mean I guess someone might have there reasons, but there's a million crazy things a stalker can do in real life too.
Recepti za agneshko
(Disclaimer: I am not a doctor, but was closely present during a long lasting treatment of acute myeloid leukemia with no suitable donor in sight.)

To help folks suffering from leukemia in general, join your local bone marrow registry. Transplants can vastly improve the patient's chances of survival, and the typization process you need to go through to join is painless and harmless. But, more importantly: if they find you a match, do not back down. I've heard of cases where the potential donors got scared and gave up upon receiving the phone call.

There are two types of transplants used in treatments: stem cell and bone marrow transplants.

Stem cell transplants are relatively painless -- it's not entirely unlike dialysis for one's blood. Bone marrow transplants are far less trivial, requiring general anesthesia and a couple of days in the hospital. They are are, from what I could gather, far less common and more dangerous.

Also: when / if you join, try to talk all your friends into joining as well. :)

A big part of me has to ask: Why do we care? Any software engineer worth his/her weight should be able to pick up any language they need on they fly. A posting asking for a specific language is either catering to HR search terms or is indicative of the narrow mindedness of the managers writing it.

I personally care significantly more about the actual projects involved and in what part(s) of the project's life cycle the role encompasses. Even if it's a position coming into a well-established project (and is therefore firmly rooted in N language(s)), I don't care: I'll pick up whatever needs to be picked up when the job starts.

Sure, checking out today's most popular languages is fun and has it's own appeal, but aren't there better data sources?

That correlation doesn't sound plausible, given the long and unpredictable lead times in the process.

I did an IDF for something June 2010 or so, the patent application was eventually filed in April 2011, and I just got the bonus this week. (And to top it off, I'd left Google in the meanwhile, so getting that bonus at all was a bit of a surprise).
