You're actually twisting the words a little bit.

In his original statement, the CEO clearly meant anyone at the company (we can assume he didn't mean janitors and such, but he certainly meant engineers.)

Later on, he decided to clarify it only to people with control: executives and lawyers. This would not seem to include engineers.

You're making the statement that you think this should include engineers.
Isn't actually running your program and checking if it works a form of testing?

The term "test suite" seems to refer to formal testing techniques like creating unit tests and the like. I don't do that. But I do test my program on every functionality by running and checking if it does what it's supposed to do. Does that qualify as testing?

I agree concerning non tech people. From my experience, they start doing back-ups once they lost a disk.

However, considering how ridiculously easy it is to set up a simple rsync script, I doubt that many tech people do not do backups. Even though proper backups include frequent integrity checks, just setting up a rsync script gets you a long way already. If your data is encrypted though, a flipped bit might cause havoc already, thus making frequent backup integrity checks absolutely mandatory.
Good points here. I currently run Arch but would be interested in seeing sort of a LTS style Arch that would only update packages with security updates and other stable packages. I guess that would require a lot of maintenance though.

As far as I know, while on a H1B, you can definitely start something on the side, but you can't get a salary for this activity legally. So as long as you are just coding and developing an app, for example is perfectly fine. This can be your 'hobby' and if this 'hobby' gets good traction and you want to convert it to a company then you'll run into all the legal issues pointed here. However, by then if you can convince investors and raise money with a board of directors you are in good shape.

He's talking about holes in the "ID triangle." http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2008/11/the-thin...

>The ID triangle: before a passenger boards a commercial flight, he interacts with his airline or the government three times—when he purchases his ticket; when he passes through airport security; and finally at the gate, when he presents his boarding pass to an airline agent. It is at the first point of contact, when the ticket is purchased, that a passenger’s name is checked against the government’s no-fly list. It is not checked again, and for this reason, Schnei­er argued, the process is merely another form of security theater.

>To slip through the only check against the no-fly list, the terrorist uses a stolen credit card to buy a ticket under a fake name. “Then you print a fake boarding pass with your real name on it and go to the airport. You give your real ID, and the fake boarding pass with your real name on it, to security. They’re checking the documents against each other. They’re not checking your name against the no-fly list—that was done on the airline’s computers. Once you’re through security, you rip up the fake boarding pass, and use the real boarding pass that has the name from the stolen credit card. Then you board the plane, because they’re not checking your name against your ID at boarding.”
OMG, this is hilarious! Nicely done Atlassian, I'm looking forward to more videos like this.

Even taking into account his negotiated edge, which is impressive, it isn't enough mathematically to account for such substantial winnings over such a short period of time. I agree with what others have said and think he must either have had a counting system or had a terrific run of luck.

Great runs are rare of course, but not unheard of. The reason people don't hear about them often is that very few players play at such a sophisticated level to minimize the house advantage to a paper-thin margin, and even fewer do so at a high-stakes table where this would make big news.
It's not a matter of new evidence becoming available, but private data becoming visible unlawfully.
I'm assuming he's also unwilling to hire people from the top 10 or even maybe top 20 internet-related companies, based on my totally unscientific study, in the world? Because, in case he hasn't noticed, everybody is suing everybody these days. I guess those millions of employees world-wide should just all quit in the next 60 days and move to Silicon Valley since the job market is apparently so hot there.

I guess Jonathan Ive should quit Apple and go work for Yammer to save his soul and be considered a good person again.

I feel he's just a loudmouth that's lucky his company isn't big enough or well-known enough for him to get slapped down by his investors and/or board and have his twitter account take away. Regardless of how you feel about his opinion or Yahoo's actions, this is a bad move and a potential PR disaster on his part.

Plus, who would want to work for him now he's shown himself to be the type of person to blame people for actions they had no part in?

And I'm sorry, but anyone who thinks every single employee of Yahoo is worthless, soulless, evil, or whatever, is a total freaking moron.
I have a lot of problems with this story, and with your arguments in favor of it.

> the talent market in Silicon Valley is so hot right now,

> stopped caring

I guarantee you that there are people working at Yahoo! solving difficult and interesting problems, which many of us would envy. Not only that, but there are also going to be people working there now who value stability and have a sense of loyalty to the company they work for. Not everyone is going to jump ship for the new hotness every 3 years, and software engineering is not a monoculture where we all share the same values. I think it's incredibly problematic to broadly assert that anyone working at a given company is not worthy of employing.

So Yammer should only allow a single interpretation of ethics? What about someone who doesn't believe this move is unethical? Yahoo is after all a business, and according to some, the ethical way for a business to behave is to maximize shareholder value [I do not agree with this, for the record, but some people have definitely said it here and elsewhere.] Apparently Yahoo believes this move will achieve that goal. [Remember, we're looking at ethics here, not whether this is a good business move.]

Additionally, if one can make a good case for his/her stance on this issue, does that mean that he/she will be considered as an exception to the no-hire rule? If the CEO of Yammer wants employees who will correct him on ethics issues, then certainly having strong critical thinking skills, and ability to present a compelling argument for an issue should be far more important than being able to "Patents are bad, mmkay?" And having a diversity of viewpoints on these issues would surely also be a benefit, would it not?
Well, I almost typed PHP, since that was my first programming language, but that seems to have a bad reputation around here. The downside to subscripts is I have to write smaller, but I guess they might be better depending on your opinion of sigils. I still remember though wondering why JavaScript, when I was learning it, didn't have dollar signs in front of all its variables like PHP did, since it seemed like a great idea to my younger self. Eventually as I learned more languages and practiced more programming I realized sigils are unnecessary, like Hungarian notation (which I'm glad I never used and I'm glad its practice was basically already dead by the time I picked up programming). People won't get confused. Just like people don't get confused when they see sin3/5pix on paper and misinterpret sin(3/5 * pi * x(t)) as s * i * n * 3/5 * pi * x.

Completely agree with your assessment on taking a more "shocking" approach, and also with the original comment that many do not know that SOPA and Lamar Smith are connected some how.

It think they are using the current phrase as a parody of the famous anti-litter ad campaign "Don't Mess With Texas" [1]

As a Texan who happens to live in Lamar Smith's district, I think the effectiveness is entirely dependent on where in his district it is bought. His district includes SW Austin and many rural areas such as Kerrville.

There is no connection between a stub resolver as Chrome is implementing it, and the system-indicated DNS server.

This, as an aside, is what's wrong with HN. People cite RFCs or other datapoint as if it validates their point, when in fact, it does no such thing. You can run 10 stub resolvers on your system, each talking to a different DNS server. A stub simply indicates that it lacks the fortitude for full-blown root-down DNS resolution and validation. It might even still have a cache of sorts. That's it.

Intel remakes 2004 'Pipe Dream' video
One other beneficial side effects of having an
automated test suite is that they come in handy
during any profiling one need to do against the
code base. Trigger the automated test suite from
the profiler and analyze its output to any performance bottlenecks in the codebase.

Also the practice and triggering the of automated
tests regularly (continuous integration) and tracking
the time it takes for the tests to run helps to
detect early in the development cycle if any of
the changes made were suboptimal. All environmental
factors being equal a new small feature implemented
shouldn't drastically increase the time it takes
to run the test suite.

That same FAQ directly addresses this problem. They are supposedly working with the IETF on a specification solution to the problem (which will likely take forever to get good deployment of, if it even happens).

With existing infrastructure, however, the core issue is not going to be addressed unless Google has some Nyquist limit dominating ratio of DNS servers to the number of servers Akamai has (which is a very large number ;P).

As an example: I am pretty certain Akamai has nodes at the local university campus. Unless Google has a DNS server in my neighborhood (unlikely), I'm going to get streaming data from LA instead of a couple miles away.
