That is what I understood but it seemed too dumb to me. But it looks like it. That is not browser security, that is just AES & or possibly server-side (what id has the item?).

I am at a loss.
Have you tried enabling keyboard shortcuts and pressing "d"?
1. As discussed in another comment, this requires a similar level of trust to encrypting the data on the server. The only difference here is that, to the best of my knowledge, an attacker who took control of the server, could silently log the plaintexts in the server side case while some indication would be provided in the client-side case. Most wouldn't notice it but some would eventually.

2. The code I wrote isn't obfuscated. The code at the top is just SJCL and angular.js which are https://github.com/bitwiseshiftleft/sjcl and https://github.com/angular/angular.js

1. Great question. Would be a great new example. It would look something like:

var ddp = require('ddp').new({ 'host': 'yourapp.meteor.com', 'port': 80 });
ddp.connect(function() { ddp.call("a-method", [ params ] });

And I guess that's about it ;) You might want to add a setInterval() to make sure this gets run regularly.

As do all people who discuss it - it's funny when Marco is on a podcast and you hear people pause before saying Instapaper. An inaudible please-don't-let-me-screw-this-up.

"I've tried to speak but my talks never get accepted"

My advice: go and speak at a BarCamp, or another Unconference. Everyone gets to speak, and it's a great place to start building experience as a speaker. Post your slides afterwards (and write the talk up on your blog) and you'll have something to point event organisers to. As you build a reputation as a speaker you'll find it much easier to get gigs at larger events.

Here's our list of barcamps http://lanyrd.com/topics/barcamp/ and unconferences http://lanyrd.com/topics/unconference/
To be fair to people in tech, I think the field also selects for people who are less socially aware.

For example, I got all my early programming experience because hiding out in my dad's basement soaking up the glow of green phosphor was infinitely more pleasant than dealing with high-school society. Not because that was beneath me, although that's what I surely told myself at the time, but because I was terrible at it.

It took me years to catch up with my peer group as far as social skills went. Until then, I literally could not perceive a lot of the subtle interactions that demonstrate (and perpetuate) this problem.

I think that's where a lot of the field is. And, in some sense, where they want to be. It's really uncomfortable recognizing that some of what you thought was personal achievement is due to shit that shouldn't matter. It was for me, anyhow. And is, really; it's an ongoing process.
Do not understand someone else code, is a valid issue, if the project was development for a few month. Then team got switched around this is a huge RED flag by itself. Big question is why this happened. Staring at a large code base with 1.5month to finish it, no tests, probably zero documentation and manager who used to manage the previous team.. RUN not walk away from this
As you can see upthread, "malicious network" has already been invoked. I think you owe Moxie Marlinspike $1000.
I'm all for increased immigration for skilled professionals, but slide 87 is mendacious at best. For example, Woz co-founded Apple; why isn't he listed along with Jobs? Same with Larry Page. Worst of all, Intel was founded by Noyce, Moore and Arthur Rock; Andy Grove was an early employee, yet he's listed as the sole founder.
Apparently print publications are doomed (way overweight current ad budget vs. viewership). Who would have thought?
There is really no way of knowing how much those options are worth without knowing the size of the pool and valuation of the company, anyhow. I treat these as monopoly money unless I actually know what percent of the company I'm being given. Lots of things, namely reverse splits, before an exit can greatly affect the value of those shares!
I generally tend to go with @extends and @includes first, followed by the specifics for that rule. Alphabetized, because I'm that OCD about it. So, externalities first - if you mix them in the middle of regular rules, it's easy to overlook.
But the claims about JS crypto deal with the users' security in live settings: they usually are not related to "app" issues but users', which is not the same.
I do. A mediocre idea (0.5) with a flawless execution (1.0) is probably better than a mediocre idea (0.5) with a mediocre execution (0.5).

Might not be quite so linear though.
I don't think you suffered from bad luck. Just bad marketing. Programmers need to realize that you have to learn how to sell yourself if you want a good steady job.
Absolutely. 90% of the time I hear about SEO is via spam submitted via my contact form.

As you say, that is unfair to the people doing good work, but also completely… fair… for me to make that association

Ask HN: do US banks allow access to their backend for me to automate payout?
I am new to payment services. I am currently using Stripe as my payment gateway to process buyer payment to my business bank account. I would then need to payout the seller from my business bank account using either ACH, wire transfer, or mailed check.

All of these payouts require human input to enter the amount and whom I make it to manually. So it's not efficient if my startup takes off. So as I explained it to the bankers what my startup is and what I intend to do, they told me that it's not possible to do this automatically with my software accessing the bank backend API.

What they told me instead is that use a Quicken or Quickbooks?

I am curious that either I explain it wrong or the bankers have no clue what I am talking about. Or really there is no way to do this?

Maybe there is a banking term that I am not aware of.

What do I need to do?

Thank you for the advise.
I welcome the discussion and am learning what I can from it. I was hoping for an exploit. So far one person has proposed one that may work.

Those are creative solutions to your contest. I should have been cleverer.
This is true of Germanic languages more generally, where they have special cases for teens too but also read higher numbers as "five-and-twenty" etc. And then French has their vigesimal thing - 92 is quatre-vingt-douze, ie. "four twentys and twelve". English gets off relatively lightly with teens only...
There is definitely good advice here, but a word of caution: Don't miss the forest for the trees.

I've spent a lot of time helping people negotiate job offers. The predominant theme is that offers will vary a bit, and some negotiation may be necessary, but the couple thousand dollars on the table during the discussion is virtually meaningless.

For most of the software devs reading this article, we're talking about a couple of percent of your overall compensation -- an amount that, given the demand of developers in the market today, will end up being taken into account during your first performance review anyway. If you’re good, your employer will want to keep you around and compensate you accordingly.

During negotiations your main priority should be getting the job that’s the best fit. If it really is the best fit, the company will be presenting you a fair offer. It may not be on the top end of normal, but optimizing for price is bad practice when negotiating salary (much like VC term sheets).

Truly enjoying your time at work and being fully engaged and happy with your job is worth tens, if not hundreds of thousands of dollars.

I’m not suggesting that you accept below market offers. Instead, I’m trying to illustrate that how much you will enjoy each hour of the day is part of the offer, though it’s not written on the document a prospective employer presents you.

Full disclosure: I’m the founder of Mighty Spring (https://www.mightyspring.com) and our aim is to help people find great fitting opportunities quickly and easily, while making these salary negotiations much simpler in the process.

Hi, we would like to have your feedback about our recently launched startup (www.mytwinplace.com). We focused on making a friendly interface and now we are working hard to identify which are the key parameters we have to cross among users to guarantee they will get the right matching therefore people with real chances to swap with. This industry has been so far focused on having huge listing data base but no any smart way to correlate users and there is where we see our positioning.
thanks for your comments in any sense!
People insist on having autocomplete in the text box, and that requires javascript. The results display engine is html5 and is shared with our tablet and phone apps.
Don't you get it, it is a catch, the sticker contains the phrase "a single english word".
Personally, I view "mark as spam" as a way for me to cast a vote on bad email behavior. No, I do not want to receive the latest news about your product that I bought 5 years ago -- yes, it is spam when you email me about it. It is spam when you email me asking for money just because I attended your group's meetings a few times in college. It is spam when you send me an email that does not render unless I enable HTML. It is spam when you drop my friends' names in an attempt to get me to sign up for your website.

Spam is not just about scams, malware, and crime. It is about the annoying deluge, the fact that I have to open a browser and enable Javascript from 20 different sources when I unsubscribe, and generally about unsolicited, unwanted email trying to get me to do things I am not going to do. Filters, including a spam filter, are what keep my inbox under control.
People really wish this wasn't true, and they wish it so badly that they continue to fool themselves into believing there is no innate talent. It's basically Wizard's First Rule at work.

How quickly people forget the whole "Blank Slate" fiasco in the field of psychology. Certain proclivities, likes & dislikes, and yes, talents, are innate. It is not such terrible news ... you can still accomplish a hell of a lot in a direction of your choosing by dogged, deliberate practice.

Why I Left Finance
I'm having a hard time understanding what you are arguing towards but I find this thought to be quite elegantly expressed

>"Both [Execution and Ideas] are necessary and insufficient for success..."
So you're pro-"inspire" but anti-"influence"?

When appropriately defined, yes. See below.

the primary definition of inspire is to influence

Ah, you would rather continue to play word games than actually address the substance of my argument. But sure, I'll play.

I could quibble with your claim that the primary definition of inspire is to influence, since in that definition, "influence" is used as a noun, not a verb. But that's really a side issue, because you didn't bother to ask me in which sense I was using the word "inspire" (or "influence", for that matter), or to take into account the context in which I used the words. That context should have made it evident that senses #2 and #3 of "inspire" are the ones I meant, and those do not mean the same as "influence" as a verb.

I suppose, for the record, I should also make explicit that I am using "influence" in sense #8 of the dictionary definition, taken from the same dictionary you used:

8.
to move or impel (a person) to some action: Outside factors influenced her to resign.

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/influence

You do realize your entire thread has been an argument of influence, advocating your point of view?

I was wondering how long it would take for someone to make this play. :-) Fortunately, it's easy to refute since I just gave the dictionary definition of "influence" in the sense I've been using the term. I'm not trying to move anyone to any action; I'm just trying to explain why the post bothered me enough to rant about it, and then to clarify my position in response to questions and counterarguments. I don't want or expect anyone to drop what they're doing and devote time and energy to something else as a result of what I say. If anything, I hope that people will be less likely to do that in response to "influence", as a result of what I say.
Heck, if I could remember even half of the things this survey asks.
What's wrong with arbitrage? Arbitrage keeps exchanges in sync. You don't need single rate everyody agrees on. If you can successfully manipulate price at one exchange to gain more than usual from arbitrage and more then you spend on trying to swing the exchange then I congratulate you and wish you best of luck. Somehow this sounds like a perpetum mobile for me or at least some serious gambling. Investors know more then one exchange an check prices on all of them when deciding whether to place or cancel an order.
Gee, that doesn't sound expensive at all.
proximity is one factor, not very high up, in a long list of latency factors. GeoIP is a joke and I'd love to see more people learn how BGP works than download another maxmind database.
Actually, not infrared but UV. They seem to have filters in the vacuum-UV which can't be observed from the ground. The near-IR out to 1.1um that they are going out to is not really a problem from the ground.
But might you now have to put up with Amazon targeting even more ads and recommended products to you based on the various sites you've logged into using their service? :/

Looks like the vanishment was only temporary. It's up again.
I share your suspicion of affirmative action as a solution. But I definitely don't think it's as bad as the problem.

As a straight white male, I've already received a number of unearned bonuses. If I fail to receive another dose of privilege, that is definitely not as bad as somebody who's been unfairly penalized receiving another penalty.

Even in the case where I'm improperly penalized so as to give a bonus to somebody who has less privilege, I don't think that's as bad as the reverse. I've still got my lifetime history of privilege; although it feels locally unfair to me, I don't think it's globally unfair.
Thank you for pointing that out.
Also letting them go on a friendly note, will guarantee in the future that they will join Valve and not some other group.
It might also be useful context that TPM — to which I subscribe — took a round of funding lead by Marc Andreessen a few years ago.
Interesting. I think this could be particularly popular if Linode introduces some fully supported stacks for common configs. Although at that point they would really just become a managed provider, but perhaps that is the natural progression of at least part of the hosting business.
The categories are selected using the web graph, not using a semantic database. Lama has so many categories that 'animal' got pushed off the end of the list. [llama] doesn't get animals, either.

Another query with a similar problem is [java], which doesn't have a category about travelling to the island.
I can see what Wade is saying here, but I don't agree with the conclusion.

"So when you begin a startup, make sure to think long term. Will you still want to do this if a family member gets sick? Will you want to do this if you have kids? Will you want to do this when _____ happens?

If the answer is “no”, then you’ve saved yourself a lot of unnecessary heartache."

I think it's fine for the answer to be no to some of these, but still want to do a startup.

If your partner was hit by a bus, then in that instant almost everyone would prefer to be at some large company where you can hand off your responsibility in no time and the company will support your time off etc.

That just makes it easier to be a good person in those times. Everyone could do with a break in times like that, if it was an option.

I don't think hunting down the most severe scenarios that could happen to you in the next x years and trying to find one where you'd rather not be running a startup is a valid reason not to start one.
Or you can just mark as spam. Most of those "newsletters" and advertisements follow a pattern that is easy for Bayesian filters to recognize (I speak from experience). Your spam filter has been trained enough when it preemptively removes such mail from your inbox.

Surveys like this should always be fully anonymous. If the name isn't published, why is it collected? Asking hackers to provide their full name is like cryptonite.

As for a shorter survey - The form itself could be a lot more inviting. For instance, the question "Did you know anybody else your age that programmed" is a simple Yes or No. Or does it want me to give away the personal details of that person as well?

Yes, I didn't mean to say employers should filter by qualification. For the first 3 years of your career, they just do.

Then after that, HR appear to filter by previous job title, hoping to see career progression and a similar title previously.

I guess the people at a large company that reduce 200 resumes down to 20, before the hiring mangers sees them, do not understand Ruby. They understand that they must be able to quantify why they rejected an applicant in case of a lawsuit. Hence the frustrating rigidness.
In OP's analogy, a new male applicant has no edge over a new female applicant. He's still faced with an overcrowded escalator. In the real world, things can be quite different of course, and the analogy doesn't reflect that very well.

Am I the only one who got the impression that, starting from the late nineties, game developers decided to go for "shock value" instead of innovative new gameplay mechanisms?

Those beautifully detailed animation sequences Sarkeesian presents, of scantily-clad women being slain, are so far from what I remember from my childhood (early nineties)...

While from the blogpost it isn't 100% clear to me how far their management goes (do they restart apache if needed? Do they do security updates?), I think this fills a huge need!

Fully managed servers are really expensive and often inflexible, while with VPS you are all on your own, which not every developer wants (or feels confident in). I was just discussing a week ago how there is a big market in doing this management.

The purpose of the Arkyd is to discover NEOs. Right now there are no low-cost, mass-produced telescopes in LEO, and asteroid discovery is driven by government-funded projects centered around universities. The compelling advantage of this telescope is that it circumvents the cost and bureaucracy necessary to discover asteroids.

Of course, the kickstarter/public relations aspect is not essential to all this, but Planetary Resources gets a ton of public interest and they want to capitalize on/engage with people who are interested in their mission to mine asteroids.
This is actually very similar to what Alto from AOL was attempting to do.

"Out of curiosity, what do you do when you run into an OSS project which requires you to subscribe to a mailing list in order to ask a question?"

One massively helpful resource for this is gmane. You sign up for the mailing list and disable the delivery of mail (usually you must be subscribed to the list to post a message), then use gmane to read messages (hopefully using your favorite NNTP client instead of the gmane website).

Hi, thanks for the quick response.

In regards to your questions:
1. Regular customers can schedule their appointments regularly and have "VIP" status that gets them FREE haircuts as they refer the barber new clients and take advantage of exclusive promotions, think 'daily deals" the barber can push out to preferred clients.

2. There will be some push back for barbers who dont embrace technology and don't mind a simple list. However, for those who are more tech inclined and time conscious (ex. barbers on the go and barbers who joggle multiple jobs). Also, we hope ourt early adopters, young tech-savvy barbers right out of barber college (looking to build clientile) can influence that older group. I do AGREE the app has to be very simple or they wont use.

I do plan to expand to salons, massage therapists, and tattoo artists but network is mostly with barbers. The thought, "get it right for one niche" and then expand was my thinking.

Your idea for your gf is right on. I would love to hear her feedback and more on your progress.

Thanks.

3. Our view is that we provide more value than just a POS. In the vent they wish to not use the payment portion, they still have promo on the mybarberapp website, client and sched mgmt features.
