I'd agree with some of this. HS resumes are going to get binned unless you prove otherwise. Your resume might be decent in getting a "high school" job like a supermarket, but it's still not great.

I think the Software Dev Club VP could be something, but you don't explain it at all. What is it? Did you cofound it? What do you do as VP? Accomplishments?

Your resume is somewhat fluff. You have skills, but it takes up >1/3 of the page without much to show for it. Try 2 column for skills. I'd also move it to the bottom, since your experience should speak for the skills you have, the skills are just a reminder^H^H^H^Hkeyword spam and list other things that may have not been included.

Not enough info at that point? Try speaking to some of your hackathons. It's an extracurricular thing.

One trick for designing resumes is to flip it upside down and look at the text as shapes rather than words. How is it balanced? Are there noticeable gaps, and are those intentional or should they be filled in?

Also, cover letters should be custom for each job. If you template them it's really only 1 paragraph you should have saved, and the rest should be custom per job.

As a high school student, don't send to jobs@. How do you even know the mail alias exists and actually gets looked at? Send to somebody.

EDIT: One last thing -- your resume is pretty flat. You are obviously strong technically, but you have no reference to teams or working with others. Hence why you should expand Club VP (maybe to experience section). If you do volunteering or organized something or did a Boy Scout project, I'd put that on there. You do get a bit of resume forgiveness as an intern that you don't get professionally.

I've looked over resumes for interns before, and basically you know that the most you can hope for is technically strong. Most of the time you want strong soft skills and they just grow technical skills through the internship. You don't show me any of the soft skills.

But you also see absurd discounts with private insurance companies - - eg you get testing done by Quest and get an $1000 bill, and then the insurance discount is $900 before the insurer even pays anything. That's not the government forcing unsustainable pricing, that's simply nonsense.

In no other industry is there such a difference between the sticker price and "discount", where those who can least afford to pay have to pay the most.

Several years ago, I called Comcast technical support because my cable Internet service stopped working. The support guy told me to unplug the Ethernet cable from both my computer and the cable modem, turn it around, and plug it back in.

Clearly he just wanted to make sure that it actually was connected properly... but I like to think he was making sure the Internet was flowing into my computer. With those unidirectional Ethernet cables you have to check.

> 'Bad guys' is very subjective

Sure, and that's one of the reasons I used such an obviously vague phrase.

The point being that no matter who you define as good or bad, once the cat's out of the bag, it's out, and probably this stuff will be acquired by, and used by, people whose goals you abhor.

And that's really scary.

[I don't think that there's some sort of inherent connection of the tech with "bad", because there are always going to be certain uses, if maybe very narrow ones, which the vast majority of people would find justified. E.g. blah blah Hitler blah blah.]

This is how things should be... But the whole point in posting a link to that wikipedia page is not condemning ethical and risk free human experimentation but the following: are sure that in this exact moment the american government isn't carrying on any other crazy human experimentation? I would spend a minute thinkin about that, instead of playing with words... (not trying to be offensive, but the topic is of such importance that this whole argumentation just feels redundant...) Again, think about what the goverment (togheter with private entities) could be doing RIGHT NOW.
While lying requires intent, it does not require knowledge that the statement is false. If I say "lutusp killed JFK" then that is a lie, even though I do not know that it is false. It is a lie exactly because I do not know it to be true. Something can be a lie if it is true! Suppose the FA said "he took more pictures" without having seen him taking more pictures, with the intent to deceive the captain to get this guy off the plane. That is a lie even if he did take more pictures, because the FA does not know it to be true.

On the left hand side of that image you see a little segment that conists of a hand, an eye and an ear. Those stand for interaction, video and audio. TrueTech hired Jonathan Kraij, a talented young designer to make that logo and it was featured in many places, magazines such as wave and many others besides in the late 90's.

Not three weeks after one prominent bout of exposure the logo appeared in an advertising campaign by Sony the Netherlands.

We talked it over with them and they traced it to a guy working for one of the agencies that designed the campaign. He'd most likely been subconsciously influenced by exposure from a magazine. Sony was pretty good about it, promised they wouldn't use the logo any further and paid us a fair bit of money to offset the use.

All in all it could have been a lot worse and I think that before you start using words like 'pirates' you have to dig a little deeper to be sure that it was intentional and that it wasn't some external party that caused this.

Sony is a damaged brand, they've done lots of terribly stupid stuff but at a minimum they should be given the benefit of the doubt until there is hard proof they did this on purpose. We all know Sony fucked up in the past but that is no reason to automatically assume they did so again without any proof.
Directed microwave weapons (fry RF circuits), guided high energy lasers (physical damage), barrage nets (trap), radio jamming (kill ability to return information), doping logical resting points with glue (trap), ASTOR radar (finding source and destroying), honey traps (trap), building other drones to physically knock them out (physical damage), flares (sensor overload).

That's what I came up with in a couple of minutes.

Plenty of ideas floating around.

Knowing Google, I'm pretty sure that their drive population was consumer-grade - I think they mentioned that in the paper. It was interesting that the paper lamented the usefulness of SMART in predicting failures, because one of the things that enterprise/nearline drives buy you is much much richer SMART diagnostics. I wonder what their results would have been with drives that had better diagnostic reporting. I'm also curious if folks that are building 'cold-storage' on the cheap have looked into using DVR drives, they might have some useful characteristics for this application.

Hoped for the silver advice to get rich, found a golden story and life lesson instead. Worth it.
Well, one could say its giving in to a bully.

BTW, you do lose. You lose self respect and dignity, and yet more freedom. Every time each of us has that chipped away, its another win for the terrorist, who must be laughing their nuts off watching scared westerners become more and more borg like.

But hey, you get your flight, and as we know, that is way more important than freedom, self respect and dignity. Short term gain always trumps long term decency. Of course the vast majority are quite happy for that trade off, given how scared we all are of a 1 in 2 million chance terrorist attack in the US. Context: 1 in 900,00 that you'll die in your bath... Or 1 in 19,000 of dying in your car. 15 US citizens died of terrorists in 2010.
I doubt Sony's lawyers care about that.

KDE would care about trial costs, though. Do they have a budget for that?

I highly recommend reading "The Saga of a CyanogenMod Exynos4 device maintainer" showing a history of dealing with Samsung, Samsung's tech practises and outright lies about their hardware, and repeated broken promises https://plus.google.com/101093310520661581786/posts/aoAGK5yo...
Do you have stats to back that up? Recent surveys say that people are more likely to describe their phone as 'Samsung' than Android. http://news.techeye.net/mobile/samsung-galaxy-brand-trumps-a...

Anecdotally, I would agree that the kind of people who know what Android is are the kind of people that know what iOS is - i.e. gadget-lovers.
Such a shame Sony pirated their artwork.

Also, such a shame the article introduces Sony as "the company who created Audio CDs which installed a rootkit on Windows computer to try to stop people copying music", as if Sony needed introduction, especially for people that read the KDE blog.

Maybe it would have been more effective to point them out in a matter-of-fact way, tell them to stop or to comply with the licence, and move on. It would certainly come across as more mature, more about problem solving, and less about name bashing.

I appreciate though it is hard to keep a level headed tone if it were to happen to me..., but there's no harm in trying!

> What exactly is a non-evil way to use a microdrone with lethal armament?

Pest control? :-)

We're talking about a class of technology here anyway, yes the specific instances tend to obviously be for good or evil, but a class of technology has a wide range of applications.

Also, I think you could argue that improving military technology so the military only murder specifically those people they meant to murder (I hate these 'collateral damage'-type weasel words) is a good thing.

Surprised so few people are keying in on point #2. That to me is the key point where the blogger went awry, was entirely within his own control to avoid and if he'd done so, no one gets kicked off the flight.

I understand the "well, it wasn't settled ACCORDING TO ME, so I want to clarify" mentality, but if you can't control that urge, don't be surprised to find that you escalate your way into situations like this.

Private health insurance and hospital bills are a brilliant, evil robbery.

Who is least likely to fight back against robbery? Sick people.

Health insurers get the best part of the deal. Knowing that sick people often don't have jobs and, as a group, rarely have money, they take the money when people are well.

Well, it is still copyright infringement. It doesn't matter if the copyright says you can do whatever you want as long as you mention our license, if you don't follow the terms you're still infringing on their copyright.
Interesting historical point.

The point that I take away from the current episode, though, is that Sony is profoundly hypocritical. They are a "damaged brand" because of their past actions. That shouldn't give them a free pass, but should instead cause increased scrutiny.

And yet again, it appears that increased scrutiny is warranted.
Hi, upgrd.com is my site. I always wondered what would happen if a story was picked up on HN. Now I know! There's some interesting comments from other passengers, on the same flight, about the behavior of the flight attendant.

Regardless of your view on Matthew's story - has the site been working well for everyone? Is my little FreeBSD VPS (with photos on cloudfront) setup performing well? I can see the stats from my side, just wondering how it loaded for you. Thanks!
I love how they are taking precautions with the 150-micron screen based on a failure at JPL of one of their test system.

"In response to information gained during testing at JPL, the processing and delivery plan has been adjusted to reduce use of mechanical vibration. The 150-micron screen in one of the two test versions of CHIMRA became partially detached after extensive use, although it remained usable. The team has added precautions for use of Curiosity's sampling system while continuing to study the cause and ramifications of the separation."

I would expect for a name like KDE they wouldn't have to worry about it. If the FSF doesn't pick up the bill, if the EFF doesn't pick up the bill, if someone else doesn't pick up the bill they'd have a donation drive. There's no way KDE would have to worry about paying lawyer fees if Sony sues them for their own original artwork.

Yes and we have to keep in mind that people grow up a lot slower these days in well developed nations. In other words, we're spoiled rotten kids at 25.

If they'd announced this before they had a working implementation then Microsoft would have either created their own competing standard or wanted changes that only benefit themselves and slowed down development.

AFTER EDIT:

Why the downvote?

Ok, maybe I shouldn't have singled out Microsoft, but I think their past behaviour explains a lot the way Google are behaving now. I'm thinking in particular of what happened with XForms and WebGL.
Depend on the judge and jury.

It could come down to damges per sold unit if Sony is seen as intentional breaking copyright law, especially from this point on after Sony has become aware of the issue.

In more likeness, KDE can now prevent any future sale of VAIO if they want, but asking a judge for an injunction.

Of course, this assume that the copyright law is sanely being interpreted. If we use movie/music version of it, KDE can then dictate what a "license agreement" would cost for sony if they were to "buy" the image. They could then say "If we were to buy a similar image from apple, they would require this cart loads of money so that's what Sony should pay + damages and lawyer costs.
Help selling an Internet site and business
Hi all. 5 years ago i set-up and internet business in the UK. The company supplies services (industrial) to the public and trade sector. Initially the company supplied the services from a small factory. The company has grown to be the market leader in it's field and it's brand is almost a household name among it's market. It has more enormous rankings on search engines and for what is a small cottage business receives huge traffic that is well suited to the many services the company provides. We also have a strong offline presence, we attend shows and do numerous localized and nationalized marketing hits. The company offers it's service across the whole of Europe.

After 18 months it made more sense to pass our work on to a larger factory that could handle the sheer volume we have.

That factory would now like to buy our business. Our work input has been so large they have had to employ more staff and expand their floor-space to compensate.

They have proposed a deal:

1. they buy the website and the brand
2. they pay of it over a 3-5 year payment plan
3. I stay on as a paid consultant to help develop into further markets and maintain postion.
4. they want a guarantee that if the companies internet presence was to slide - effectively in their words they can seize paying

Point 3 causes me concern. Ideally i would like to sell it for cash, perhaps over a few payments. I'm happy to give them 3 years. I experience with them and I think the merging of our brand into their factory will be tremendous for consumers and for them. What i dont like is having to gaurantee performance of the brand over a long period. What or how is this usually dealt with.

Lastly. The value. We receive circa 1.25 million GBP of inquiries per year. Part of the proposition proposal demonstrates that the turnover of the company can be greatly increased. Can potential such as this be valued?

Thanks for your help

While you are right, a lot of the backlash is somewhat deserved: Sony was and is aggressive in pursuing their copyrights, which is part of the damage to their brand.

I don't think they did this on purpose. But they are part of a group of companies that don't care about those complexities when they sue others on copyright grounds, so they should tread very carefully there.
For myself its an intelligent distraction between server re-starts and waiting for compilations etc. Don't do so much of that stuff at the weekend.
I think he's asking about stuff like 'What kind of damages can KDE claim due to "lost sales", since it's not software that is usually sold.'
Great, great image. Cool technology. But one question kept popping into my head: What if someone was sleeping naked in his/her bedroom?

Slightly tongue in cheek:

You know that crappy little country, just off the north coast of mainland Europe, its where I live, its called the UK? Well, that's why we have far too much influence for our size.

We rip on our powerful people something rotten. It helps to keep the powerful on their toes and makes the rest of us feel a little bit better. Its a British tradition. And for us, it works quite well.
Stop Spam On YourWebsite By ImplementingGoogle reCAPTCHA PHPScript
This is one of those places when distinguishing between the kernel and userland is not only useful but necessary. I just don't believe that "Ninety-three percent of hiring managers say they will hire a Linux pro in the next six months". Ninety-three percent of companies do NOT need kernel hackers, they want UNIX pros.

EDIT: By UNIX pro, I personally mean people who are familiar with the typical nix stack, e.g. GNU/Linux, BSD, Darwin. This would encompass sysadmins, programmers, etc.
Attribution is a pretty standard component of the moral rights associated with copyright in many non-US countries. In the US, moral rights (versus economic rights) are hardly protected at all. For the most part they are limited to riding the coat-tails of economic rights.

Yet, as your example shows, the right of attribution is the kind of right that many people naturally perceive as a "fair" part of copyright, much more fair than the right to control distribution.
It is actually a "Where's Waldo?" in the picture. Find a big chicken called Buzby, win ipad and such for UK people only.. ;p
There's also the Amazon App Store for Android. People I know with Kindle Fires just talking about 'downloading apps from Amazon'. I don't think they know what Android is.
This trend is also mirrored in the "Google Play" branding. The Google app and data syncing should be a huge selling point for the ecosystem in general.
I'd guess they're upvoting it because the idea sounds ridiculous before you read the article, but after you read it you realize that it's probably right.
However, having two brands confuses consumers.

Doesn't hold true. "Microsoft" had no problems with users being confused by "Windows". People went out of their way to make sure to buy PCs installed with Windows from Dell, HP, etc.
