Some specific positions we'd love to fill:

Network Security Engineer

Mobile Security Engineer

Software Engineer w/ interest in Security

Standing invitation to all security folks in the Bay Area or visiting: come have lunch with us at Square. We'd love to meet you and talk about what you're working on. It is almost certainly relevant to us.

From Nominet's 'consultation paper' FAQ:

Q: Are you just forcing businesses to buy another name?
A: This proposal is about offering greater choice with a new secure service that is tailored to meet the needs of anyone doing business online. The proposed features are likely to mean that the service may not be suitable for everyone. Businesses would not be forced to change from their existing .co.uk domain name but would have the option of buying a .uk with additional features if they believe it would benefit them.

Now, their planned 'additional features' are DNSSEC, hitting website every X days to do viruses/malware detections, giving domain owners a graphic 'badge' to place in the footer (lame lame lame), verifying registrant`s 'contact data' (require address to be in the UK posting there a 'PIN code' from time to time).
And that's it!

This is pathetic to say the least, as those features are nothing of a real necessity or improvement. It is just a sham to do something to make it at least look like it is something of a value. But the real reason is of course too obvious.

Q: Why don't you just introduce these features to all .co.uk domains?
A: It would be unfair to retrospectively impose a new suite of features and requirements on co.uk. .co.uk is already very successful and not all of the existing registrants would want or need the features we are proposing to include in the new service.

Of course it is more fair to let those owners to pay up, not because they need these nice features, but because they have no other choice if they still want to be on top of the .uk namespace (as .co.uk still is).
Touch-typing. It's difficult to relate to if you cant touch-type. Expert typists loathe taking their fingers off the middle row; using the arrow keys(or any other navigation keys) means taking your fingers off.
Google Launches Their Own Tag Management Solution
I'm familiar with Augusta National even if I just noticed that I misspelled the name!

I think it's very relevant to the discussion at hand. We're talking about a profession that outght to be nothing at all like a private club, but the point is that it does behave like a private club. if we in fact didn't behave as if we were members of a club, not only would my comment be irrelevant, these kind sof blog posts wouldn't exist in the first place.

So.

Yes, I agree that the social dynamics of a private club ought not to have anything to do with the social dynamics of a profession, but alas they do in this case.
> The majority of serious bicycle accidents are right-of-way disputes, occurring at junctions.

Makes sense, really. I recently started regularly driving a car again, and I've noticed that there's just no way motorists can be reasonably expected to anticipate something that's in the pedestrian right-of-way but moving at five times the speed of normal pedestrian traffic. In a denser area where a driver's view of the sidewalk might be obscured by parked cars, it's probably more-or-less impossible to adequately check for that kind of hazard.

Heck, pedestrians can't do it either. 6 or 7 years ago a woman was killed a couple blocks away from my house when a sidewalk cyclist hit her. There was a tall hedge at the corner impeding visibility, and they both rounded the corner at the same time - the pedestrian at a walking (i.e., perfectly safe for the sidewalk) speed, and the cyclist at bike (i.e., completely reckless for the sidewalk) speed.

By contrast, a cyclist who's in the vehicular right-of-way where they belong (and not erratically dipping into and out of the parking lane) is every bit as visible as motorized traffic. And, assuming they bother to use turn signals and at least pay lip service to traffic laws (which many don't in my city), just as predictable too.

First, I didn't read it as she was mad about the bathrooms other than what that implied about the ratio of attendance between men and women[1].

I'm not real fond of the ratio, mainly because lack of female programmers means we get a lack of female managers with programming experience. Women who came up through the ranks and get the gig. I have encountered too many men and women who have no clue how to manage technical projects.

I should point out that at least female programmers are not subjected to the crap that happens to male ECE (early childhood education) instructors. Many places will say to an applicant's face that, because of potential lawsuits, they will not hire males.

[1] There are actually a lot of facilities that have sliding partitions that allow the number of stalls to be changed between events. I cannot find it right now, but there is a video explaining research done into average time using the stalls - male vs female and percentage of people doing #1 vs #2.
+ for recognizing that. Consider this though, what causes first, the asocial stigma? And what causes our society to keep girls from asocial activities?

An argument could be made for a broader more general form of misogyny.
> We've implemented it on LinkUp (https://www.linkup.com/account/)

What's your experience with that? Implementing OpenID tends to not be very fun (whether as a consumer or as a provider), is Persona better?
I get that I'm probably not the target market for OpenID since I'm already more tech-friendly than the average user, but I've never thought it was super complicated or "jarring," to use the definition in the article. I set up the URL on my web server years ago (thus securing me as more technical, I know), but it's been great. I can change providers in the background, and I only need to remember one URL. No more usernames or anything. Sure, it could be easier and more widely adopted (chicken and egg), but I have thought it was relatively pleasant for a while.
And the ability to use a spell checker. And yes, since you ask, I am a pedant. If I was not a pedant my code would be even worse than it is now.
If i was reading a thread like this, it would mean that I am already interested in tech and there was NO WAY that a thread like this would put me off continuing doing what i am interested in.

What problem do you want to fix?

If we do not want babies born with flippers in this country, then we need expensive approval tests. (Those who don't get the reference should look up thalidomide - which the FDA kept out of the USA.) Those currently cost an average of something like $150 million per drug. The temporary monopoly provided by patents lets us get those costs recouped.

That said I don't think that pharmaceuticals are the poster child for patents. And in a comment on the blog I offered the example of using hookworm to treat Crohn's disease. The FDA has ruled that it would require their approval. But no patent is possible, and therefore nobody is trying to get it approved. And the result is that the most promising known treatment for hundreds of thousands of sufferers of Crohn's disease is, and will remain, illegal to even consider offering in the USA.

Yes, I absolutely do. The concept of women as "emotional" AKA "hysterical" is an old, untrue, patronizing and dismissive stereotype, with a long history of being used to oppress women (sometimes in the most horrific of ways). "Calm down dear" and its close paraphrases are a way of asserting male privilege to ignore a woman's reasoned argument, because she got angry.
The same way it works with Mozilla Persona.

If they're not using their normal browser, they don't have any cert data stored, so they have to 'log in' the traditional way to Mozilla Persona, which then gives the browser the cert data. The whole thing hinges on caching login credentials.

The simplest way to support this without depending on a 3rd party (Mozilla) would be to use an e-mail reset to send you a temporary credential to log in from an "unsafe" computer. There would need to be lots of restrictions on its use of course.
OK thanks for clarifying. I understand your point better where I missed it before.

Still, I think there's some sense in being able to control your editor without moving your fingers from the home row, and learning unintuitive-but-powerful tools for a significant subset of users. If you spend eight hours a day most days using a text editor, then criteria like [ease-of-use to new-comers] ranks a lot lower than others, such as sheer power.

Regarding user expectations - the OS doesn't train users to use the arrows. Bash does, and only when it's in emacs mode. If you sat down at a Solaris console, often ksh would be the default prompt and arrows wouldn't work. Vi interaction would. (You can configure bash to work like this - this is how I work. set -o vi)

I realise that from the perspective of a new user, what I've said above that would feel like an insultingly meaningless technicality. That kind of thing used to drive me around the bend.

I strongly agree with your conclusion,

Anytime you talk about how UNIX-like systems have
evolved, there's a danger of falling into the trap of
hailing historical cruft as "misunderstood features."
But at the end of the day, it's still just historical
cruft.

I loathe "it should be that way because it is that way" justifications, or arguments that defend appalling design with "oh you just need to get comfortable with how it works".

I'm going to dive in here and give a huge thumbs up to mu4e. I spent a chunk of time with Gnus and Wanderlust and both feel so much slower. I can't make the switch yet because I'm too lazy to research how to get the multiple mailbox/index configuration I have with mutt (if it's possible?) but hopefully will soon.

Really appreciate the work, djcb.

Slashdot has stayed much more consistently tech than HN. That's partly by design; HN is meant for stories "deeply insightful" and apparently "good hackers aren't just interested in tech." pg submitted a story about his favorite restaurant, that's just a community aspect here (something Slashdot really lacks, especially since it's more anonymous than HN). On the other hand, a lot of it is due to their story selection relying on approval by a handful of editors, versus the anyone can upvote on most social news sites. This really anchored their content in tech. Digg rose and fell as a tech news site as its userbase drifted into shallow entertainment news, taking the top ten stories with them. Same with the Reddit frontpage, though many subreddits are still good. Slashdot has outlasted both of them, and even one-ups HN a bit at avoiding unimportant but drama-filled stories (SV journalists writing about each other, tweet wars, allegations of plagiarism etc.). If anything, the selective greenlighting of stories (versus redlighting through moderation) helps avoid gossipy "news" that evokes strong emotions in readers but are of little to no importance.

They are targeting this at enterprise level folks who own these devices and encourage them to use them. This is the point, at least from my point of view: mobile is so great that it is different from traditional experiences.

To make a traditional site only reinforces the "sameness" and doesn't encourage immediate action.

Maybe with your video it'll be clear, but just looking to your layout, I can't understand what you're going to do, so there isn't any motive to "tell you" my email.

So, I suggest you to, with few words, describe what's your purpose. You're going against an app? Which app? Why? What are you going to do?
Almost the same here, I like Slashdot as much as HN for the content they bring to me and yes, the maturity (something very important on the web).

However, i can't get myself around their interface, i don't understand it/don't like it, i feel like their lacking a designer or something... in comparison with HN.

So, I spend less time on it, and didn't create an account or anything, eventhough i'd like to...their UI just doesn't feel right.

This is a big win for Braintree as it opens up the door to a lot of great opportunities they didn't have previously. For example, when starting up a new idea, I never would go with Braintree simply because I wasn't guaranteed I'd sell enough to be worth the monthly minimum. I'd rather take the no risk approach and pay a higher fee per transaction.

I'm sure I'm not the only one who looked at Paypal, Amazon Payments, or Stripe for that reason alone.

Tablets may be 70% iPads now, but the future isn't a single, locked down platform.

The future is the web. And no single company can ever have a monopoly that is strong enough to stand against the combined work of humanity.

You are too narrowly focused on the app store. As Apple fucks things up more and more (see e.g maps, which Jobs would never have allowed) and with the new Nexus 7 coming out the future of computability is only going to go one way -- HTML5 will become more and more powerful, Javascript interpretators is going to become better, faster and leaner, and Android Tablets are going to be better and better.

But even if we assume Apple is always going to reign supreme for all eternity (and honestly, has any company ever done that?), they allow you to install any 'app' of the internet. It is available on the little icon next to the browser bar and you can develop these apps on a windows PC, if you want. No license, no control, more freedom than you ever had with MS and much easier to get started too.

Not necessarily. What if you are following @raganwald because you know him from mountain biking and he tweets about this thread?

More importantly, I think it's valid for you to have a very binary perspective on tech, either you aren't interested or you're so interested that "To hell with the torpedos, full speed ahead." I know of at least one such woman with the same perspective:

http://raganwald.posterous.com/a-womans-story

Of course, that doesn't mean everyone will have the same reaction. Some might be more inclined to join, perhaps some less. I'm not a woman, and I don't want to be patronizing and try to suggest that there's going to be one overwhelmingly consistent reaction.

I was just trying to point out that our discussions about gender are as much a part of our culture as the culture we're allegedly discussing.
