Insignificant example but very annoying to me nonetheless: my last two times using PayByPhone for parking in San Francisco ended up with two tickets, one timed 1 minute following expiration and the other, 2 minutes. I can only suspect that usage of PayByPhone is placing a big fat bullseye on your car for ticketing.
I shot a number of Weddings in the past decade (usually 2 per year, not how I make a living, but I apprenticed so...). I wouldn't worry about getting "Raw" files. While I always shot Raw I always delivered jpgs, I think at 8 megapixel equivalent (My Canon 5d is only 13 megapixels.). This will be Fine for most size prints. 2.5 megapixel is clearly is web only.

I processed the images in lightroom to give them the look I wanted and delivered a large set of high quality jpegs. The post processing / sorting of files takes a lot of time, so not having to do that would lower the price. Digital wedding photographers take a lot of photographs so sorting them can be onerous. Play that the fact that you'll sort and post process yourself.

Plus some photographers don't want to give you all the photos as invariably some are Out of Focus or not great.

Your on the right path negotiating before hand. Expect to pay extra for the rights and images. If you find a photographer that will give those to you, expect the cost to be baked into the price. Its Still better than having to go back to the photographer for every print.
> What's the value of this, I use Angular a lot and love it, but Dart only adds a degree of complexity that I don't want to debug with.

Then it has no value to you.

Other people find Dart to offer more over JS than that for them, and for people for whom that is true, Angular-on-Dart offers advantages over both Dart-without-Angular and Angular-on-JS.

That would be rather foolish of them, since classified information does not become instantly unclassified upon leakage.
That´s the worst angle to look at this issue, though. It´s the way a white boy from a 1st world country would look at it.

Having many laws and inneficient law enforcement is the recipe for disaster. You just get corruption and lack of isonomy (poor people get jail, rich people get a bail for stupid crimes). Come to Brazil and marvel at the result of your theory. Police is inefficient, rich people get away from murder, and when they catch a poor criminal they execute for banal crimes (e.g., drug posession) with the understanding the judiciary doesn´t work.

What you want is less bogus laws around individual liberties rather than less law enforcement.

The file system is just, IMO, too fundamental to replace. It isn't that we haven't thought of alternatives- it is that there aren't any! Or, well, there is one- a flat database, which is just a flat filesystem- but as soon as you start using it, you will start wishing for some organization...

In summary: If you give a mouse a cookie...

Morell was passed over for promotion after the Petraeus debacle. He might have just come to the realization there are no more ladders to climb in government, it's time to sell your rolodex & skills to the highest bidder in the private sector.
Whether that so-called "trouble" is good or bad and for whom is another thing, which can be quite subjective even.

Problems at school aren't necessarily an indicator of a failure. There are many examples of bad school performance which doesn't result in bad performance in whatever the person pursues. As far as I am aware, even Einstein didn't really like being in school and had problems concentrating, yet his scientific achievements are undeniabe.

Hence the problem with focusing on educational background is that it gives the false impression that bad background -> bad person. What Snowden did is, as far as I am aware, considered an extremely good thing when it comes to privacy of US and non-US citizens alike. So again, Snowdens lack of educational background could be viewed in similar light that of those others who haven't been hindered by the lack of school performance in the past(and in the future).

I claim that school and educational performance doesn't mean a shit in individual basis(as in case of Snowden, he's an individual after all), although it might mean when one evaluates people collectively as a group. And even then exceptional individuals come up.
IBM sells itself to customers as an IT company, but its true core competency is selling itself to customers who think it's an IT company. There are some very smart people there, but for the most part they mistakenly thought they were going to work for an IT company, or they are in the part which is just marketing (IBM Research comes out with some truly amazing stuff, which is basically just marketing to convince companies to buy services from IBM).
Not sure about the home address analogy. I don't know about you, but I don't open mail that doesn't have my name on it, even if it has my address.

Maybe I'm just being naive, but it seems to me that someone getting a letter addressed to you is much less of an issue than someone getting your email.

I'd be interested in an explanation on exactly what your problem with Glenn Greenwald is, and why exactly you think he is deceptive.

Over the last couple years, since I discovered him, I've found him to be among the most persuasive commentators in the media. He's very consistent in his positions, untainted (as far as I can tell) by political/professional affiliations, and deploys an impressive array of links when building and defending his arguments.
This should make phishing a lot easier for services that are still registered to yahoo email addresses long after the owner moved on.

Hard to imagine why they went with this over using some other domain for the accounts like Microsoft did with outlook.com.
My impression was that people responded favorably to flat design. Look at the web as a whole and you can see that much if not most of it is embracing flat design. Sure there was backlash for it, but skeumorphism also had tons of backlash as well.

The thing that I have noticed about the iOS 7 feedback is that people think that Apple implemented a flat design in a very ugly way. Maybe it's because they're behind the curve because they're late to the party. Maybe it'll get better, but everything I've heard so far is about the poor use of colors, gradients, and unnecessarily noisy effects, not about flat design being bad.
This could also lead to targeted attacks. there are probably a lot of no-longer-used yahoo emails still listed on people's facebook profiles which could possibly be used to pw reset.
I don't think it would be a bad idea for facebook to display a notice to people w/ yahoo emails at some point before this come into effect.
Yes there's value in that, but it's surely a net loss to pay more for a single foreigner's education than 5 average Americans have in assets put together.
Whistleblower: AT&T Maintained a 'Secret Room' for the NSA (2007)
Sounds to me like your parent is suggesting it could be any and/or all of the above. Essentially, at very high speeds the whole link has to be very carefully balanced, so if any one piece is not built to a tight enough spec, things could fall apart.
You might consider moving teams if you can. Not all teams at Amazon are like this.

Where I grew up, kids on the hockey team, or whose dad owned the car dealership, would repeatedly get away with drunk driving and beating up their girlfriends, whereas poor kids were regularly taken down to the station for skateboarding, even though there were no laws against it.

Depends on the project's scope, who is working on it and also users/usage I'd say. Sometimes embedded documentation can be useful (Doxygen comes to mind). Given a ton of time, it probably should be done in stages, and created starting with the requirements document(s) to at least set the stage for the thought process. There's no blanket right/wrong for all projects. For Microsoft, my guess is that it would make sense to do the inner documentation in much the same way as external documentation is done--people are used to it, the system is already in place somewhere, etc.
Unions as Functions
I'll take the opportunity to break into this conversation and ask a question since discussions on this topic seem to be fairly rare on HN.

If I were to launch a service where providing your gender was required (for the sake of this question), which options would you suggest I include outside the binary for those who feel uncomfortable identifying as such?
There are plenty of real-world examples of moles and double-agents as well. Fiction can often be a useful tool to distill the essence of an argument and/or present it in a recognizable or popular dress.

I don't think there are many people that disagree with the points this guy has brought up. But he doesn't really bring up the things that people actually are complaining about. There are many aspects of the UI that are very garish and not very polished. Sure, the UX might be great but people notice the UI first, and that's where much of the backlash is coming from. I think it's compounded by Apple's history of having their initial UI unveilings showing a much more polished look than they have with iOS7.
The conclusion seems to be that in order for the NSA chief to answer any interesting questions they have to declassify information. Which the NSA chief believes is a good idea as long as it doesn't harm the american people. What pieces of information they should declassify and make available to the public will be discussed in the closed hearing.

My guess is OP is referring to the "cross dressing Little Red Riding Hood" line. Not really seeing the gay insinuation, just a bad joke regarding his tendencies to hide under a red hood while entering passwords.
> We could increase the productivity of humanity in fabulous ways if we all knew how to use computers efficiently.

I'll argue that's not the problem. The problem is more of nurturing a social culture of continuous learning and creation. How many of us knew folks when we were in school who just couldn't wait "to be done with school forever"? How did that travesty, a vast failing of human education, come to pass? It's easy to be elitist and point to those of us who dodged the bullets as being "superior" or "smarter" or whatever, but I've also witnessed too many occasions where good environments, mentors, teachers, etc. lit the spark in learners who might otherwise have been judged unremarkable.

I've also seen (and apparently there are now studies on) the positive skill effect of having access to computers-as-making-devices as a kid can have. IIRC, this relates to a substantial part of the successes that Harvey Mudd College is having in bringing more women into computing programs[1]. In short, changing education to embrace students who didn't have "deep" access to computers prior to college is helping to close the gender gap.

Mobile or no, I'll ask: do children have sufficient access, role-models, and mentors regarding computers (mobile or no) as tools of creation? What does the changing profile of computer use in the mobile era imply for education towards computing-enabled professions?

"Umkhonto we Sizwe" Do you understand how this group came about, what principles it was created on? You should read Nelson Mandela's biography. Also read the essays on pbs from people in the struggle which is very truthful and raw interview scripts. To be honest when Mandela's talks about how he planned stuff and the books he read, kind of reminded me in a way of a startup. He was taking a dying organisation revamping it and positioning it for a win. His elder found him reckless and too arrogant.... honestly you should just read the interviews on the pbs link below, very entertaining, especially for history buffs like me.

How does 'crashed to reboot twice in a day' convert to 'it's very stable'?

It's this wilful disregard of negatives that bugs me about Apple culture. The good things are lauded, the bad things are ignored, unless they're bad things in other OSes, then they're highlighted as why Apple stuff is better.

It's like at my last workplace, the Apple fan who was always getting another box from Foxconn telling me that Android was crap because he occasionally saw me swipe twice on my phone - ignoring that he was doing the same on his iphone. He didn't realise it until I pointed it out to him that he was doing it. It's a really odd cultural phenomenon.
What the heck is a techno boondoggle? What a hillbilly sounding term that only makes me cringe at what kind things the US government is going to cook up for us cyber pros, lol.
The list of known issues with Apple's own apps is available along with the DMG. I only reverted because one third-party app I depend on was totally FUBAR.
"Snowden said that according to unverified documents seen by the Post, the NSA had been hacking computers in Hong Kong and on the mainland since 2009. None of the documents revealed any information about Chinese military systems, he said.

One of the targets in the SAR, according to Snowden, was Chinese University and public officials, businesses and students in the city. The documents also point to hacking activity by the NSA against mainland targets."

I can only think that he's planning on defecting. This statement alone would imprison him for decades.
“I now have absolute proof that smoking even one marijuana cigarette is equal in brain damage to being on Bikini Island during an H-bomb blast.”

Marijuana prohibition was pushed by Reagan because he didn´t liked hippies, not based on anything palpable.

Problem is not law enforcement, it´s the way bogus legislation gets pushed on "democracy" without direct involvement of the people.
Yeah, I don't think I've actually used Kleisli in production code.

Learning what a monad "is" is very worthwhile, but it's not where you start, because it's only tangentially related to how a monad is used.
I never use the prepopulated Music/Photos/Videos/Documents folders because some apps pollute them with their settings and whatnot without my permission.

Instead, I make one folder and keep all my manually created content there.

I _used_ to try to organize by categories, but due inability to easily place same file in many folders, and things become harder to find as time passes, I shifted to my current favourite way to organize stuff.

It's inspired by Camera Roll. Just a single folder with folders for events, sorted by time.
The state presses charges, not the "victim". For an example, see the recent proceedings around Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi in San Francisco.
Hey there, author of the post here. I thought I may justify what I said.

I have friends in almost all big companies and I discuss them about these issues a lot. Almost all of them agree that they are in a similar situation.

I know that even Microsoft is a huge world and NOT all organizations are the same. All organizations have their own culture so there's no common culture in the company I can describe. In a way this is good.

So the statement "Even if all teams at MS suck" would be really wrong. In addition to this, organizations get better and develop culture over time. Thanks for the comment.
Since Pentium 133 I never had Intel processor in desktop computer. I wanted few times but AMD was always cheeper for the same speed. Sure fastest were almost always the Intel ones but the additional bit of speed never justified the price.
> "Given this, WHY did he pick Honk Kong to flee to? If China wants that information (and it is hard to see how they could not want it), their best move is to kidnap him and blame it on foreign agents (hinting that they think the US took him--which many people would find quite believable) and make him turn over his information to them."

China might get more information out of him by being friendly. Sure, they could kidnap him, but they could also offer him asylum, a comfortable life, perhaps even a rewarding career in a field that interests him. That could loosen his lips more than simple bush-league torture.
How are complaints about the new Safari icon different from complaints about leather iCal in its time, or even Ping? This is not a leaked alpha version, this is what Apple is publicly marketing, and I don't see where they have a record of ever backtracking (in less than two major releases).
For vim users, tim pope's fireplace plugin provides an integrated "quasi" repl in vim: https://github.com/tpope/vim-fireplace.

I use vim-slime when I'm working with clojurescript.

To fill in: post 1979 construction is exempt, and condo'd units require just cause eviction but have no controls on rent increase (my understanding is the landlord can arbitrarily raise the rent.) I'm not sure how TICs are covered. Source: I've sued a landlord for blatant violations of sf rental law, and at one point, had 5 lawyers involved. The experience sucked ass and, in practice, tenant protections in sf are tissue thin when when a landlord is malicious.

also: Bryan is a former ibanker. I'd be shocked, shocked! to find out he's a mixture of stupid and venal. Also, any lawyer involved in a rent lawsuit against Bryan will hopefully find this article and it certainly can be admitted as evidence.

A couple things: 1. Today there was an anti-NSA article ("NSA Assures Americans That PRISM 2.0 Will Be Way More Invasive"), which kind of invalidates my point. 2. "Comedic organization" was the best term I could come up with; I know it sounds a bit ridiculous. :-)

"purging intelligence officials who may not be entirely loyal in the wake of the NSA leaks"

I doubt its NSA related. It looks like it is Benghazi -related since the White House says he is the one at the CIA who wanted the "talking points" changed to the State Departments version. Technically, Morell is going to be on the intelligence board, so he is not totally leaving.

That abstraction was highly dependent on physical storage unit attached to your device of choice.

When most of storage is moved to the cloud and the books are stored in my Dropbox, private photos on my Flickr and public photos on my Instagram, it no longer matters that the underlying abstraction is using files and folders - they could switch to streams (case in point - iOS), and most users wouldn't care.
