I don't know about those type of jobs, but generally such a poor response rate is always a sign of a poor CV. It might be the picture, the way it's written, laid out or the choice words for certain thins. I'd recommend finding someone who does hiring for similar positions and ask him to review her CV.
Another American in Paris here. I would say Paris is cheaper than NYC, SF, and London. Unfortunately my salary isn't appreciating nearly as fast as my rent. And when I say rent I really mean the copropriété charges.

For a 300 lb tent load that's putting roughly 1000 lb tension on each tie (though they don't show any pictures of how much it sags to allow a better estimate of the angle). Not good for the trees and not comfortable to consider the failure modes. Slingshot?

If you ask me, this is all about (b) if you consider only JavaScript vs Scala.js.

If you compare Scala.js to similar languages (CoffeeScript, TypeScript, ClojureScript to name a few), it definitely helps to have the same language both on server and client, especially if logic must be replicated on both sides. So in that sense, there is some (a) too.

But that is only my opinion. Any developer or team can make up her own mind on the matter.

That's true. I believe providers exchange significant amounts of money from multilateral roaming agreements, and all that potential profit has to come from somewhere else.

What I'd like to see are providers charging a low fee for travellers to use their networks. Local users will subsidise travellers less in this case.
Twitter Killed RSS feeds
Thanks for open sourcing this! Really appreciate the effort that went into this.

Just curious though, I'm wondering from a usability viewpoint. Is this a good thing to have on a website? Are there cases where it helps to present the content in a better fashion than without?
I get the feeling that this will raise the prices significantly and likely keep fragmentation (it's harder to compete when all companies have the same possible pool).
Yes, and I guarantee you there are plenty of people in suburbs that would prefer to live inside the city if it were more affordable. What is your point?

Many recruiters are too lazy to change the job description of roles they recruit for. In case you find a role you are interested in that is with a recruiter, take out 7-8 words of the job responsibilities and do an exact search in Google. Moderate success rate.

> "If I was a pan-European mobile operator, I'd have been lobbying for this."

Do you mean lobbying against this? If I were a pan-european operator, then I'm making 'free' money from my customers that travel across Europe with negligible increase in costs. Scrapping roaming charges means that advantage goes away. Indeed, the article you link to has the following:

"The plans set up a clash between Brussels and telecoms bosses such as Vodafone chief executive Vittorio Colao, who in February called for a 'moratorium on regulation' in telecoms. He said industry had been a target for too long and it threatened employment. Neelie Kroes, the Commisisoner behind the reforms, told Mr Colao she would 'call your bluff'"

Other than that, your questions are interesting. I'm on an MVNO (GiffGaff), which uses the O2 network. It'd be great if deals that the parent networks make are simply passed onto the MVNOs but we'll have to see.
We don't know it's Snowden, but The Guardian is putting its reputation at risk, so I suppose their journalists have some degree of certitude about it.
Can you give an example that isn't based on security (since the NAT isn't providing that)? I can only think of short-term (undesirable) transition or load-balancing mechanisms - all of which have better long-term solutions (anycast, multicast, and dynamic service discovery, etc)...

They are doing us a huge favor by dripping the content. This forces other media outlets to continue the coverage of the (relatively un-sexy) topic.

We were complaining for ages that nobody covers and addresses privacy related issues. Thanks to Greenwald's and Sowden's media strategy it finally becomes frontpage news. Plus, with a little bit of luck we see the US government getting a few more times caught lying to the public in very clear terms.

In my opinion this is going to be a case study on how to masterfully orchestrate a press campaign. Just look at this week, Sunday: Release of the G20 spying story, Monday: Live Q&A, Tuesday: Most likely discussion of something he revealed in the Q&A, etc. Wouldn't be surprised if they had scheduled out a few weeks ahead. I'm sure there is at least a prime-time TV interview with Snowden still to come.
Looks like a bridge-style multi-person hammock-style tent. I like small, single-person hammock tents for lightweight, but the problem always happens for me that I just don't usually have reliable trees where I prefer to camp: the desert. (Imagine that!)

One un-spoken issue with hammocks: you need some serious padding/quilting underneath you. Tents don't usually have wind running freely under them. This effect will chill you faster than you can imagine.
> can make you come across like a jerk too

Well, yes. Anything you do can make you look like a jerk if you do it in a jerky way.

And as you point out, sometimes you simply have more experience in an area than the founders do. Obviously there are cases where this will happen and you can immediately tell the idea stands on shaky ground.

But in general that's not the case in "Hey I have this cool idea" conversations.

The parallax trend has been happening for months on web pages.

Apple will popularise the trend in iOS apps though that was related to device motion and is bit different to what's happening on the web.

On the point of Apple, usually this sort of parallax doesn't work within Safari on iOS devices as scrolling in iOS pauses the main run loop of code. Looks like they've found a work around here, so kudos it's actually functional, but scrolling performance appears to suffer terribly.
That would be also my question to him. How secure is Tor? How many Tor nodes has NSA for timing analysis?

For the most part, people do know what they think. On the other hand, some, less honest, pollsters spend quite a lot of time getting folks to answer the way they want from eliminating information or being hyper-techincal with the questions.

If you're honest with yourself and ask the right questions, people will tell you what they think. It might not be as logical as you want, but we live in a fuzzy world.

I actually enjoy both quite a bit, and am likely too see both types in theaters. My point was simply given enough money to pay for the highest quality experience of one movie, I'll pay for the big budget action film over the small scale but still high quality movie. I feel I can enjoy the smaller movies just as much on a TV at home. Seeing The Dark Knight in IMAX is a hugely different experience than at home.

So moving something in to place to attract attention to that element as you're moving down.
Other journalists would try to beat The Guardian to the scoop, with the same result. Everyone would be talking about it for two weeks, then we'd forget.

By controlling the flow, they can make sure that each important revelation is allowed some time in the spotlight. The issues gets a lot more attention that way.

While I do believe that one of the functions of a government is to encourage a diverse economy, I do not believe that it is the role of government to create it. If there are people in (we'll use your example) Brisbane that are willing, able and capable to begin to build a tech industry, they should. After that has occurred, then the government is in a position to look at how it can best encourage continued growth.

However, it may end up that Sydney is where Australia's tech industry takes root and grows through natural activity and movement instead of Brisbane. This is normal and it will happen. Not every city is 'world class' at everything, it's really not possible.
"Running Lean" (O'Reilly) is excellent and Ash has a bunch of useful videos as well. I think it's currently the best "business side of a startup" book out there.

I live just nearby Paris (in Issy-les-moulineaux) and I do vote for a mayor, just not the mayor of Paris. I also vote for a few local representatives (département, canton and région). Representation isn't a problem, since many projects are handled by the départements or région.

> An interesting phenomenon in Paris is the fact that there are still many housing projects inside Paris proper. Which means that effectively only the middle class is getting priced out. Only the really rich or really poor get to stay.

Access to HLMs (housing projects) is very, very complicated, with waitlists of a few years and strict conditions. In practice there are way too few of them to even cover all the demand (even though construction of housing projects is required by the French law for every town of a minimum size), so the really poor will usually stay way outside in the suburbs.
What worries me most about the NSA fibre issue...
Is not that they are monitoring me. I have nothing to hide. Other than the usual, which is encrypted in utorrent, apparently.

What worries me more is, what if they were to perform covert MiTM attacks? They are in the perfect position to do so. Anyone using online banking could be targeted and suddenly they have no money.
Or they could transfer money into people's accounts and make them look like money launderers, so they could be arrested.

Yes yes, it is all a bit conspiracy theory-ish... but if I had suggested I thought the NSA was mirroring fibre a year ago you would think the same.

This is what worries me over the debacle, as most data appears to pass through the USA.
Nice article content, but why is pinchzoom disabled for mobile devices? What value could that possibly add?

As you allude; unless you live in the UK where the media shove it down our throats that we're special and don't need that level of co-operation, integration and instead should leave the EU (and presumably be a de-facto additional US state).

For those of us in the UK that do visit Europe or wish to speak to people in Europe with Google Hangout, Skype etc. this is excellent news, as it presumably is for all Europeans.

This guy is amazing. The thing I love about him is he truly embodies the bravery that goes along with the idea that it's better to live in a free society with a modest threat of terror attacks than to live in an oppressive society where we are supposedly kept "safe" from the terrorists hiding behind every corner.

It takes courage to make such an assertion. The NSA spying route is fundamentally based on cowardice.

It's just like the jobs. The immigrants are willing to deal with conditions that the natives aren't, for many reasons. For example, I live in NYC Chinatown. There are buildings set up where they section off an entire floor into 8 foot by 8 foot rooms with a shared kitchen & bathroom. Most Americans would never live there but the immigrant Chinese are happy to because it's still an improvement over where they came from.
frankly, I was hiring in France, and I don't think it really made a difference to me (and I don't see the point either). Actually I would not hire based on CV/cover letter. I directly paid a restaurant to most candidates who could show some code.
1) I'm not envious, and somehow you take my disapproval of the elites wasting valuable space as envy. It is not. If I express disapproval at someone who dumps toxic waste in a river, do I envy them also?

2) Your comment made zero contribution to the conversation. Do you think I haven't hung out with my cousin and had a good time? I have. This changes nothing. Every person on the planet is capable of "producing good times and memories." She is also capable of taking her wealth and helping people at levels of magnitude that the rest of us can't, yet she does nothing. I don't envy, I observe and draw my conclusion that she spends zero hours a day working and 24 hours a day worrying about herself. Spending 1 hour a day running a charity would still allow her to "sit back, enjoy" and help people at the same time.
Absolutely this. Being around people smarter and more experienced than you will result in you constantly learning, trying to keep up, expanding your world view and understanding, and being reminded that there are things beyond your ken.

If you want to become better, but do not find yourself periodically challenged (or at least stretched a little), look for additional opportunities to do so.

"How do we know it's Snowden?"

The same way you attribute credibility to any story you read (on the Internet or anywhere else), the reliability of its source.

The Guardian says it's Snowden, confidently enough to make it public. It boils down to how much you trust them as a reliable news source.

If they weren't sure, I believe they'd evaluate the possible backlash to their credibility and not run the story at all.

I've seen it stated elsewhere that one of the ambitions of this plan is increased competition across borders, for example, operators from, say, the UK could compete with operators in the Netherlands.
