> This isn't the case, at least not originally. Wiretapping laws were about protecting citizens from each other.

Thanks for this. I wasn't aware of this bit of history.

But I don't care. We need to be protected from the government and need new wiretapping laws for that end.
What about a child who is not violent, but who would rather spend their time reading advanced math textbooks, hacking, or otherwise learning? What about a child who will stand up to their teachers and say, "This is worthless homework, so I spent my time learning next year's material instead?"

The point of the article is that an awful lot of mental disorder diagnoses are being given to children who calmly reject certain authorities, or who demand that the legitimacy of an authority be demonstrated before they will submit to it. Psychiatrists are medicating people who question authority out of existence.
They are classified as "dependent personality disorder" under the DSM IV, part of the anxiety group of Axis II disorders.

There isn't really an "exact strength"; a password cracker exhaustively trying all permutations of letters and numbers will never find your password with !, a password cracker exhaustively trying all combinations of letters and numbers will take a very long to find "electroencephalograph" whereas a dictionary attack will find it very quickly if that's in the dictionary, etc. It depends on the order the cracker is trying the passwords in.

Introducing Member Lifetime Value
How does the company name relate to the service itself? Do you help uncover "hidden gem" employees? Or does a client need to do that themselves, but you only help in arranging the reward? If you don't help to identify those who go above and beyond, the name is a little distracting as it's the kind of name that makes it seem like there ought to be this functionality.

That might be a good direction to consider going in the future. Have an API which companies can integrate into their existing systems to push metrics your way (whether they do the integration themselves or through IFTTT, Zapier, etc.) with thresholds set on your side to "Uncover" the star performers in the organization. A manager can then periodically go into their dashboard, review who the system has uncovered (exceeded the thresholds), and pick and choose who gets rewards.

Your second paragraph is a perfect explanation of the conflict at the core of the gun control debate. Well said.
I'm sorry this happened, but I have an anecdote that might cheer you up. A friend was flown out to Silicon Valley and put up in a hotel after completing their programming challenges. He was rejected because of just how bad his anti-social mannerisms were. Well that hurt him a lot, but a few months later, he did find a job.

If your speech is the type of thing you can work on, work on it. If it is something more medical that you can't control, think about mentioning it up front. I'm sure you'll get a job in a month or so if your technical skills are there. Don't sweat it, even if this seems is an utter kick in the gut.

> It took billions of years for the nature to create the foods that are perfect for us, we cannot create something better (in a few hundred years).

Nature has no such intention - in fact, in most cases, evolution favours inedibility. Even simple processing methods like leaching out toxins with water probably made our food much better.

Fruit has evolved to be edible, but it's hardly perfect for us - it's more like a sugary treat. Milk might be the only thing we consume which has evolved as a nutrient source for creatures like us.
"exact strength" depends on the algorithm being used. If you're just checking dictionary words, some passwords would be really weak; if you're exhaustively checking every combination of characters, the same passwords would be pretty strong, and a different set would be very weak.

Since most people scan left-to-right you'd probably be better putting your main headline and signup box on the left and the 'reasons' on the right.

Great idea.

The US is now the control group to see if these practices make any difference. There's no reason to implement any of them unless someone demonstrates that Europe has a better outcome on the various claimed side-effects.

For example, if honeybees fare no better in Europe than the US, then we can eliminate the theory that neonicotinoids are a problem.
Sounds like persons who are less functional feel that they need medication more than those who don't. Not that anyone WANTS neuroleptics, the side effects sound terrible.

It appears that you have the passion and determination to follow through with learning JS and then Meteor. You can skip Node.js/Express.js/Backbone.js and go straight to Meteor, if your goal is to develop modern web applications with JS soon (without the lengthy time needed to learn all the libraries and frameworks needed to put a full Node.js app together).

Goodwill does not depreciate, thus your accounting explanation doesn't make sense. Huffpo cannot be that profitable because their ad inventory is total garbage. That site is probably worth less than $1 CPM. They probably make a mere million dollar per billion page views.

Bullshit. We created those foods. Our staple crops and domestic animals have all been genetically engineered via selective breeding and trial and error for millennia.

Food processing - making bread, cheese, salted meats, canned foods etc. from raw materials - allowed us to move out of the hunter gatherer existence into a society that sends robots to other planets.

He didn't make it any more legal than it was before. As a military matter it's always been legal as long as there's a valid military justification behind it. What Obama has done is to take advantage of the increased ability to remotely use military force to avoid having to send in ground troops or fighter-bombers to accomplish the same goal.

It has precedent all the way back to the Clinton administration (if not farther, I'm just going by my own memory), when Bill Clinton authorized cruise missiles to be used against "terrorist training camps" at least a couple of times.

Actually, there was a time when the U.S. used military force against its own citizens in a legal, but extrajudicial fashion: The Whiskey Rebellion (which even occurred on U.S. soil). There were at least no direct battle fatalities as a result, but that was due to the fact that the insurgents gave up.
eh....companies say the darndest things.....I was rejected for a job a while ago because I preferred VIM over Sublime Text during my pair coding interview.

China isn’t wrong to call the US "the real hacking empire"
Yes and no.

If someone is attacking you personally, yes.

If someone attacks a group that includes you, breaks one of your passwords, and posts a dump on the internet, yes.

But if someone gets some password database, bruteforces all the passwords under 20 characters, and now has a username-to-password map with a million entries.... you're probably safe from that attacker using your username/password on other services. So I'd say that it's better than "marginal".

So it depends on what attack scenario you're defending against. Which is true for all safety judgements.
Mind sharing results?
Alright so digging a bit:

At common law, “eavesdroppers, or such as listen under walls or windows, or the eaves of a
house, to hearken after discourse, and thereupon to frame slanderous and mischievous tales, are a
common nuisance and presentable at the court-leet; or are indictable at the sessions, and
punishable by fine and finding of sureties for [their] good behavior.” [1] Very Early Eavesdropping law.

but it wasn't prosecuted very often and faded from the common parlance:

“Eavesdropping is indictable at the common law, not only in England but in our states. It is seldom brought to the
attention of the courts, and our books contain too few decisions upon it to enable an author to define it with
confidence.... It never occupied much space in the law, and it has nearly faded from the legal horizon.”[2]

The first wiretapping laws were enacted by congress during world war 1:

40 Stat.1017-18 (1918)(“whoever during the period of governmental operation of the telephone and telegraph systems
of the United States ... shall, without authority and without the knowledge and consent of the other users thereof, except
as may be necessary for operation of the service, tap any telegraph or telephone line ... or whoever being employed in
any such telephone or telegraph service shall divulge the contents of any such telephone or telegraph message to any
person not duly authorized or entitled the receive the same, shall be fined not exceeding $1,000 or imprisoned for not
more than one year or both”); 56 Cong.Rec. 10761-765 (1918).

And you're right, that wiretaps weren't constitutional until 1968, but this doesn't discuss neighbors spying on neighbors.

I think we found the same document: http://www.fas.org/sgp/crs/intel/98-326.pdf

I'll ping my buddy to see if he can shed a little more light, but this is related to wiretaps, which is slightly different from eavesdropping.

There are far more than "occasional" AOL email addresses...

I just checked mailing list stats for our largest UK customer - where AOL never reached penetration anywhere near the US - and while AOL is by no means huge, they're the fourth largest e-mail provider represented on their list, after Hotmail (which out-distances everyone by a wide margin in the UK) and Gmail / Yahoo (which one is in second depends on whether you count Yahoo's various partnerships - they provide e-mail and other content services for some major ISPs).

Techies in particular tends to get very surprised when they realize that the entire world don't use Gmail... (gmail accounts for about 9%-10% of the subscribers on that list, compared to about 35% for Hotmail...)

This is a restaurant chain that covers a pretty good cross section of the UK, with a list of near a million users.

If they are getting $1 CPM it would be a miracle.
Yes. That's what I'm saying.

I'm not saying that (eg) Google has a better option than conventional interviews; Google has unique hiring problems. That doesn't make the interview system they use better. (Also, I don't have great intel on how Google interviews work; nothing better than you have. Maybe they've solved this problem in other ways... though, I'm skeptical.)

Startups, though, have no excuse.

The article is also a little slanted, in that the described only those practices permitted in the US, but banned in the EU.

There are many practices where the reverse is true, such as the manufacture of certain cheeses from non-pasturized milk being permitted in some parts of the EU, which can lead to a number of diseases.
right, so you can give ultimate approval/denial possibility to the HR teams, and you can even do something like separating HR-driven or Employee-driven perks (employee_group_points = total_points - hr_driven_perks)

That would fit in perfectly with the book club -- employees who want to fund something like that have two avenues -- get their club recognized by HR in the budget, or if interest is high enough they can get enough votes to put it in the employee perk budget.

Would you mind going briefly into what "I learned to code" entailed? Did you identify the languages/technologies you needed to learn at first? How did you go about learning them, etc.? There's a ton of info about learning languages out there but a lot of it tends to be abstract, I'd be very interested in hearing how you learned within the context of actually launching a product.

Yes, this is how we do it. It's going to be quite rough for an individual user for an individual moment in time but we've shown that averaged over many users that battery temperature is closely correlated with the ambient environmental temperature. You should see greater accuracy when your phone has been relatively idle and reached an equilibrium with the environment whereas if your phone has been whirring through cpu cycles the accuracy will decrease.

Really. If I want to send encrypted messages to anyone who is not a developer or sysadmin I have zero chance. Need to negotiate with a recruitment agent over gpg - ha. Want to recieve a job offer that's encrypted. Yup get them all the time.

Nah, you only map to a single PTT, and those are then mapped internally to state tax codes. i.e. you say "its diapers" and we then go "it fits in this band in Des Moines, this band in Culver City, this band in Podunk, etc.". As to having to do it for every product - nope - we allow bulk flagging of any datum against products by category or product metadata. Sure, there's manual work there, but there's no additional requirement for any of our merchants, as they've already got this data in place for the appropriate calculation of tax rates when they're shipping intra-state. If we didn't have it set up this way, our some of our customers with millions of SKUs would have man-decades of work ahead of them!
IMO, the length of utility patents should be guarded way more jealously than the length of copyright.

Unlike copyright, a patent gives you a true monopoly over its subject - you can prevent other people from using an idea even if they came up with it independently. At their worst, patents can stifle further developments in a field. Copyright, even with a ridiculously long term, at least has the property that you can't use it to stop other people doing things independently, so it can't block whole fields in the same way. So the length disparity isn't necessarily unjustifiable.

Yep, using pressure to gauge height is how many altimeters work. Then by removing this degree of freedom your phone is able to calculate a GPS location quicker as it knows you are confined to a particular area as opposed to a volume. I believe it also means you can get a GPS location when locked to one fewer satellites (though it may be slower in this situation).
