Sure.

In Panama you could look at the shooting of unarmed, civilian students by American soldiers[1], or the invasion of Panama[2], an act that was condemned by the UN.

In Chile you could look at the ongoing intervention by the USA [3] - read the whole article, I especially like the quote "A White House press release in November 2000 acknowledged that "actions approved by the U.S. government during this period aggravated political polarization and affected Chile's long tradition of democratic elections...""

Hm, that does seem a bit excessive. What type of worker are you set up as? A 1099 or are you running through a business (i.e. an LLC)?

There's nothing wrong with asking why they need all of that information. If they're just looking for references, get their clarification and provide as necessary.

Beyond that, they should only need a W-9 for tax info (this would have either your SSN or Employer's Identification Number).

Don't give away anything you're not comfortable with.
There are valid reasons why a site might find switching to full SSL harder than just fixing payment pages. Use your imagination.

What if they rely on free CloudFlare support for site content? Going full SSL will mean another $20/month of hosting cost.

What if the site in question comprises a thousand HTML pages written on MS Frontpage over 15 years, and most of those pages (if flipped to https) will start showing "insecure content" warnings until they're edited?

By all means, doing more than the minimum will be trivial for some sites, and a good idea for them, but that's not true for everyone.

>I doubt anything new is going to be found by continuing these discussions.

Agreed, and just to make something clear, me believing that Sun did indeed create CDDL to be incompatible with GPLv2 is not something I hold against Sun at all, contrary I think it was the 'right' thing to do given their circumstances as a company, had I been a shareholder I would have been angry if they gave away technology 'crown jewels' to their main competitor.

On the other hand, wearing my Linux user hat I really want to have this great technology at my disposal :) (something which is now thankfully being rectified by things like DTrace / ZFS on Linux)

Anyway, as I said, this is what I 'believe', it doesn't mean it is the _truth_, I've just yet to come across anything factual which would make me think otherwise.
Learning Meteor? Check out the MIT licensed source for my latest project.
In his statement, Morell said he knows how that sounds but, "when I say that it is time for my family, nothing could be more real than that."

It's difficult not to be immediately skeptical at this retirement considering the timing and circumstances surrounding the announcement. His kids are college-aged and this is quite an unusual time to resign. The fact that he is being replaced with White House lawyer Avril D. Haines (Obama's deputy council in charge of national security), seems to indicate that this is either in light of the Benghazi 'scandal' or that the Obama administration is purging intelligence officials who may not be entirely loyal in the wake of the NSA leaks. There is without a doubt far more to this story.
I hate this concept - the app doesn't own the data.

Apps that assume they do are rapidly removed from any system I use.

There are some single purpose apps that have data directly tied to them, but everything else is not like that.
Someone should write a cron job that logs into your yahoo account once a month so it doesn't go inactive.

You'll probably want the logs mailed to you, or put somewhere you'll look at regularly, because Yahoo's login interface is probably a moving target and you want to know when you need to rewrite your script due to Yahoo's changes.

Or does Yahoo have stable, published API's you could use for this?

This should be open-source, there's no way I'm giving my Yahoo ID and password to some third-party product I can't inspect.
Belated thanks!
As a part time photographer myself, I find it very strange that your photographer will only give you 2.5mp files. That is not standard practice. Typically, you would get full-rez, processed .jpeg files.

I would never give a client the RAW files, neither do most photographers. RAW is incomplete and they require processing, which is part of the service offered. It's like asking a film photographer to provide the negatives.

But you should expect to get the full-rez processed .jpeg files with personal use rights.
But see, the private key has to be funded! Unless people start exchanging private keys instead of bitcoins, and never transfer money in and out of the wallet, there will still be a trail.

Exchanging private keys is fraught with peril- the originator doesn't lose knowledge of what the key was when they give it to you. The only way to make it work safely is to immediately transfer funds out of the key you just received (to ensure the originator doesn't pull the funds before you can use them), and then we are back to having a trail. As far as someone following that trail is concerned, it is just an extra "hop"- the money still flowed from IllegalVendorA to <unknown> to You.

You can certainly try to obfuscate things, but the point is all the data is there and always will be, and even if it seems like a human wouldn't be able to figure it out, computers are very good at working through graphs!
Okay - I will elaborate a bit. Fortune 500 companies tend to be trigger happy lately and not backing their employees. You saw what happened with the #dealwithit guy. And that was for sentiment the whole company backs because it just happened to be true.

If Snowden did not leave the US so fast we would all agree that this would have been stupid. Not the leak but not taking the basic precautions.

Also he is not having personal issues or being harassed from what I read - so the situation is not a civil or worker's right problem that would require that kind of whistleblowing.

It is a rant with proper place on thedailywtf with good privacy protection.
There are more than four slides; only four have been released to date.
I don't think it says much about you at all. If your goal is to "be a leader" then I think you're a part of the problem. One should aspire to do something great. That may require fulfilling the role of leader at some point, but it should be a means to an end.

It's like a guy I know who wants to run a startup for its own sake. No particular ideas, not very technically minded, no aspirations to make the world better or even to just build something cool. It would simply make a good bullet point on his resume--priorities totally out of whack.

Someone who wants to be a leader as some kind of status symbol are the kinds of narcissists that cause so many problems in this world. The fact that you're not that person says nothing bad about you.
This is actually old news. IBM has been in decline for a LONG time.
No, it's a thought experiment.
Yeah, whatever. For practical purposes, it nearly has, and it won't really technically go away, the interface to it will get progressively dumber. See also: mobile (native) apps.
So basically they admit that Google has better designers ? Not surprised really. What's next, iGlasses ?
I think it's weird that this person complains about people going home to live their lives. You know what's awesome about big companies? They know you have a life and they don't try to get in your way for that. There is life beyond the work and the office.

Also, Microsoft is a massive company, and this person thinks a single team reflects the entire company culture? It's a huge company with hundreds of teams. One team does not define the organization.

This post should be titled "I worked at Azure 8 months out of college and here's what I learned." That would be a more accurate title.

Wait, what? The Calendar app in ML is enrobed in faux-leather but flat and focused on typography in Mavericks. Even the red accent color is similar.

I expect that the final release of Mavericks will have more standard apps redesigned to match their iOS 7 counterparts.
How dare people from other countries not check with American sensibilities before naming their products.

Not to dispute your point, but the number should really be normalized by population.

EDIT: If you click on "Immigrants as percentage of national population", you'll realize that the US is one of the lowest in developed countries. So I guess I am disputing your point.
If my guess is correct, it would be a problem in the design of the output transceiver circuit on the RMP's motherboard, assuming the cable and receiver in the display are built to spec.

Could be an IC issue, could be the impedance control of the connector, could be the impedance control of the traces on the circuit board, could be poorly chosen passives, could be interference from nearby circuits, etc.

I wish I could give you a better answer but high speed signal integrity is one of the most obtuse and most black art aspects of electronics design, there's a fair amount of non-intuitive physics going on, e.g. signals going down a wire don't just go, they 'ricochet' off impedance differences. It's far too large a topic to treat in a HN comment and its whole system encompassing so 'what it could be' is a large set.

These types of things are not uncommon in hardware development, especially with high speed signaling. The interactivity of such systems can be high and hard to predict fully at times.

EDIT: Simply put - display outputs scan top to bottom, left to right. The fact that the pattern that triggers the issue appears to be horizontal means it would occur in the raw bit stream of the output in a periodic way. That means there is some low order frequency in the system caused by this pattern (maybe it repeats every 500khz or something like that). If there is something in the electronics of the output of the RMBp that resonates at that frequency (easier than you think), then it could possibly cause the described failure.
Education does make big money (pearson), it's just generally people don't have a choice - they're not spending their 'disposable' income on it.
Not this again. I've heard this argument recycled for the last 20 years.

You can't abstract everything away into nothing. At some point the meat sacks (like myself) operating the devices will need to reach a compromise that the machine agrees with too, much as the compromise that I must turn the steering wheel and press the pedals on my car.

The filesystem is a pretty good compromise.

Denying its existence is another step towards our future of epsilon semi-morons operating mindless consumption devices.
No language is perfectly unambiguous, but language evolution should trend toward clarity, not away from it.

Not saying Asperger's or introversion are real problems, either!

They are descriptions of a person's tendencies; a diagnosis, not a prognosis. They can be either adaptive or maladaptive, depending on circumstances.

It doesn't matter to an individual how he got that way. (It may matter to observes, as a lesson to them.) What matters more is how to make the most of your life, given your current condition, how to use what you've got to get what you want.

Teaching children not to swear: The geeky way
Taiwan offers free Wi-Fi to all tourists
If there's a dimensioned pix of the heatsink, a bored enough engineer could calculate the theoretical degC/W rating of the heatsink, and given a presumably constant deltaT, there's your wattage.

Doesn't have to be dimensioned that accurately. To a first approximation a 1% error in surface area would be about a 1% error in TDP.

I'd like to see very high temp CPU technology. That would be an interesting, challenging direction for hardware tech to move. A tiny lightweight 5 deg C/W heatsink is plenty if you're allowed to run at, say, vacuum tube redhot glow temperatures. I'm well aware of the solid state physics challenges of this, that's why I think it would be very interesting to see if anyone could pull it off.

That's on a mostly throw-away account, so I don't care too much. On a more regularly used account I just checked I was able to log in fine. My email inbox is page upon page of spam that should be easily filtered on their end, but at least I can get in.

Engineering isn't engineering without constraints... it's just spending an unbounded amount of time and money on a thing ( or science, in some terms). Engineers are obligated to not work on a project which cannot be safely completed within guidelines. You can't push off that obligation elsewhere: if you design a building, and that building falls over, you need to justify why. You can't say they asked you to make it cheaper; you either find a way to make it safe and cheaper, or you don't do it.

This isn't to say that nobody makes mistakes, but it's worth remembering that engineering is applied science. It's not practiced in a vacuum, it takes into account economic and political influences and balances them against public well being. The buck stops with engineers.
Ignorance Is Strength
> Even being succinct and saying "a representative democracy" doesn't imply a form of government which is constrained by a constitution.

Neither does saying "republic". And "representative democracy" isn't succinct compared to "democracy", its verbose.

> Saying democracy instead of republic just undermines the common understanding of how our government was setup to function.

No more than saying "republic" instead of "democracy". A "federal republic that is also a representative democracy governed under a written constitution" would avoid that problem, but its a lot to write, when "democracy" is the part that is relevant to the point you are trying to make.
I get a hefty one of them as well. What's your point?

I'm not FireBeyond but I've been using iOS 7 effectively all day yesterday (I'm in Australia) on my primary phone (iPhone 5) and it's crashed to reboot maybe twice, that's all. The majority of apps I use work perfectly or have tiny things that don't and some visual aberrations. Date picker, for example, has been fine in the instances I've used it. It's very stable and there is little lag. There's a ton of small bugs around the place like music controls and the time on the lock screen sometimes overlapping and they'll be fixed in time.

It's been perfectly usable as my primary device.

Well you would be right in terms of this working but if the NSA were doing this it would have been noticed. Also, that trick won't work when certificate pinning gets involved so going to Gmail in Chrome would pop up a warning message if they tried. Supposedly PRISM has access to Gmail so at the very least the NSA is doing something else in addition to selective SSL MITM attacks.
How to shutdown Windows 8
"it’s a matter of time before the traditional desktop disappears and is replaced by one interface regardless of device that just operates on apps, metadata, and search."

If you have to tag your data with metadata, you might as well make a place for it and put it in its place. I don't see a big advantage one way or the other. Unless the meta information storage becomes automatic. But then I probably wouldn't trust it to catalogue the information the way I want.
With a metadata based file system, the metadata must describe the content in a variety of ways for content to be searchable. Problem is until computers can understand what a certain document is automatically, it's up to users to manually categorize or tag each one, which is hugely time consuming. Better approaches than the hierarchal file system has been researched for decades, so far with no clear breakthroughs in sight.

Its not suspiciously skeptical, its just downright skeptical.

But I do take your point, reading the article in detail along with the original article it references, seems like he might just be spouting off generalities about the US hacking and then was specifically asked about Chinese hacking since the original paper is chinese and he said yup...

The question I really dont know is if he is really really naive and easily lead into making these statements by the reporters or if this is carefully orchestrated propaganda...

Either way now that dude is saying these kind of things he has probably 72 hours or less before he gets delta forced up.
To my mind this really comes down to the question of whether people who want a flat UI already have an Android or Windows Phone.

If they have, then I don't see them changing device. What would they do so for? The iphone's worst feature for a while now has been its handset - so they'd pay a penalty in accepting the device and unless the UI has a major advantage I don't see why they would.

(

I don't know how many of you get the Samsung adverts from Europe and the like but the iphone gets actively mocked as a fairly out of date dumb device:

http://youtu.be/mLd9hjl3Kds

And in use figures it's not doing well outside of the U.S.

)

Meanwhile it would alienate all the people who didn't want a flat UI.

If people who wants a flat UI have already gone elsewhere I don't see how Apple can do anything but make a loss on this change.
You could build the system so that giving information would be useless. This could be achieved (depending on the system) by having users host their data on their own computers, or by using crypto that would render you unable to provide the data (i.e. they have the private key and you cannot provide anything but the ciphertext). That said it would only be as effective as your implementation, so hire (or be) a good crypto guy!

Because it changes my impression of what he's in this game for. My first impression was that he wanted to make the US government look bad in the eyes of US citizens, so the citizens could fix the problem.
