São Paulo. Seriously, that is the best market to be in for this. Go there now before you lose the biggest market for this kind of service.

There are more helicopters in SP than anywhere else. Many many buildings have helipads. Several private condominiums a few hours away on the coast also have helipads. Traffic and infrastructure are bad enough that people with the financial means to do so will take helicopters when possible.

If you need someone who can help you get into the market, ping me.

The gist is that encrypting and authenticating main memory still leaves you vulnerable to memory access traffic analysis. This is analogous to the NSA seeing metadata on phone and email traffic.

ORAM makes those accesses oblivious to someone sniffing memory traffic. That could be a device installed on cloud service provider hardware, which would be undetectable by end users.
in this context a "tool" is a synonym for "dick"... basically stating that Microsoft are a bunch of dicks.

- Note this is a self-reported survey where people are likely to overstate their earnings in order to impress peers.

- Additionally there isn't enough supporting data, e.g. no where is the rate of time defined in the article. I'd be interested to see the original survey to see if this is clearly mentioned here.

- Can someone point to one clear unambiguous place where an iOS developer position is advertised at over $100 per hour?

It's not the stamp, it's the way they've dealt with it.
I was happy that they included the "you should change your password on all other websites if it is the same" line.

I find that's the biggest hurdle that average users can't grasp, it's not about one website getting hacked.. it's that if your ubisoft password is the same as your email address password then they can now log into your email address, which means they can probably take over every online account you have.
Nobody deserves First Amendment rights if they undermine those very rights by making invalid and nonsensical arguments about them and thereby undermining the public's understanding of them.

Nor do religious bigots who are, in fact, profoundly anti-rights.

We give them rights because we don't want the government to have to judge who deserves what, which would swiftly lead to me not having rights.

> chalker's sharing of constitutionally protected speech

You only have a right to free speech if you don't infringe on other people's rights. Thus, you can't use other people's property, including public property.

Under your logic, you could put a sign up on my house and it would be "constitutionally protected speech."
People had/have more than one reason for disliking it. One was that they were forcing their proprietary webbrowser product deeply into the OS for no reason other than to disadvantage any possible competition. If IE had been open, people could have competed by modifying and extending IE.
This was already addressed in msie10 or maybe possibly earlier. Auto updates are enabled by default.
That's odd, considering Firefox clones the antialiasing algorithm used by the host OS and uses that to render type. Are you sure that perhaps the OS font rendering settings are to blame, and not necessarily Firefox?
It's a built-in feature of ASP.Net's membership provider (user accounts for those not knowing MS's Enterprise Obfuscation Naming And Extension Standard).
WOW... someone really pissed in your corn flakes.

But let me set you straight on something: I said "fight for more money or something" as in some thing other than money... like more vacation, more benefits, etc. They are fighting for more money or some other thing that is not money. And it is the reps that do the fighting. I don't think the entire union votes at the bargaining table. So I am not sure why you took offense to that argument.

I am mad at the extortion that unions use to get what they want rather than individuals getting what they deserve based on their work product. If you truly deserve a raise after 5 years, you should request/receive one. You shouldn't have to have a union do that for you. You should get it based on your performance and the health of the company like most people do. And if you don't (and don't like it), you can suck it up or find another job like most people do.

And, yes, unions do vote to strike. But not everyone votes "yes" so you can have many people forced to strike when they don't want to.

The rest of your post assumes things I never said or thought. so... ya. Also, no need to attack me with condescension and call me ignorant. But since you did, I'll just disregard everything you said. Cool?

It would be hilarious if this is what it was and hackers couldn't figure it out and abandoned the hack because they're trying all these advanced techniques and none of it is working.
Single universal encryption standard indeed. Plus you'd need users to understand how it works. Teach them how to keep their secret key safe; explain to them how they are screwed if they ever lose it etc. Then you need to have users to upload their public keys. I don't see my dad doing this. You can't have your email provider do it because when your private key is not in your hands alone, you'll never be certain that it's not abused.
Your mail server software needs to be adapted.
Lots of people use Google. They won't encrypt email by default because then their algorithms won't be able to scan your email's content for targeted ads.

I've found Amazon instances to be quite consistent. They vary, of course, but quite contrary to your initial statement that they vary wildly, I find the variances quite small, and there isn't a need to constantly hunt for ripe instances. I have absolutely found what you said to be sadly true on quite a few other VM hosts.
So that's what they were talking about
I think they meant feature updates, not security updates. And those come not very frequently, but agreed, even then, they are automatic (unless some moron disabled Windows Update).

I don't see why printing pamphlets on your own printing press would be destructive. On the other hand, this guy was defacing other peoples' property (the public's). Defacing other people's property is certainly not constitutionally protected, for any reason.
Ahh. OK. One small nit. Passwords aren't stored, the has is. If you forget your lastpass password, there's no way to retrieve them. I'm OK with this, which is why I continue to use lastpass.

That said, the interface is definitely terrible. It could use a refresh at this point.
It's a mixed bag. True that the threat of third parties "stealing" votes pulls the major parties somewhat, but at the same time the direct effect of your vote in the general is less to your favor than if you had voted strategically. I am not convinced regarding which effect dominates.

My experience with reporting bugs in FF/Chrome is a bit different. I reported a bug in canvas text implementation, which occurs in both of those browsers, on Feb 20. I provided all the necessary info and even a minimal test case. The bug has been confirmed in FF quite quickly (within days) and then... nothing. It's quite serious, basically you can't do smooth animation (movement) of text. Similar to the text scaling bug.

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=843310

Reporting to Chrome has been even worse. No word, no nothing. Not even a confirmation. (Although the submitting process itself has been simpler AFAIR).

That's really uncool, after a few of those you lose interest in submitting any more since the feedback feels like "we don't care". So you end up using the time to find workarounds instead.

Now obviously someone will point out everyone can go ahead and submit a patch for the bug itself since it's open source. That's all cool and dandy, I love open source as much as the next guy, but please, let's get serious. Who has the time to dive into a massive codebase like that and fix the bug? Not everyone has plans to become a browser developer.
VS 2012 added a new debugging framework for supporting debugging multiple code types at the same time. That model requires that the debugger work out of process - inspecting various data structures cross process and reporting them back to VS. That's different from how Python debuggers are usually built w/ sys.settrace and a debugger helper thread running in the process.

To accomplish that we require that we have symbols for the Python interpreter (which are typically available on python.org). The debug engine uses a combination of the native equivalent of sys.settrace, strategic breakpoints, and using the symbols to walk core Python data structures. There's a bunch of fun tricks for evaluating code when stopped at a Python frame and creating strings, ints, etc... when users type them into the watch window.

If you'd like to dig in more the source is at http://pytools.codeplex.com/SourceControl/latest under Python\Product\Debugger\DkmDebugger.
Regarding schematics: We actually developed a object validation library that's very similar to it. It's called cleancat. It comes with some MongoEngine-specific fields to validate references. It's best to look at the unit tests to see how it works: https://github.com/elasticsales/cleancat/blob/master/tests/_...

Regarding collections and embeddeded documents: Yes, a lot of times it makes sense to split things out into separate collections instead of embedding them so you don't run into problems later. One nice thing about MongoEngine and MongoMallard is that they update only fields that have changed. So if you have a ListField(EmbeddedDocumentField()) and change one of the embedded documents, only that document gets sent in the update statement, which speeds things up. And yes, I wish MongoDB had better ways to ensure data integrity.

Why aren't mail servers configured to require public keys?

Because the US government isn't pushing this technology. Whatever they push, they've exploited. If they introduce a system like PGP for every mail server on the planet, they loose control.
> Raising the minimum wage allows for a (very) short term benefit, but in the medium and long run, it drives inflation up.

This is probably strictly true as written, but misleading, as it also provides a medium and long term benefit, as it (alone) drives inflation up less than the ratio by which the minimum wage was increased.

> The minimum wage and inflation are effectively proportional.

No, they aren't. Even price levels, which could be more reasonably expected to have some relation to minimum wage, aren't simply proportional. If inflation was proportional to minimum wage, places that didn't have a minimum wage would have zero inflation; if price levels were proportional to minimum wage, places that didn't have a minimum wage would have zero price levels. Neither of these is the case.

I see the logic, but given recent spying revelations, I saw it as a perfect opportunity to move further away from google and US based services, and certainly not an opportunity to get closer and more integrated. If I had a shred of trust left in both google and the USA's ability to protect and respect my data, I might have tried a G+ RSS solution. Nothing short of massive legislative change in the US would even begin to help me want to use such a service.

All a bit of a shame how this has turned out TBH. Although, the whole thing has caused me to educate myself and seek out alternatives rather then just dumbly sign up for things assuming there was little to be concerned about.

Sadly, just more drip, drip away from the US and towards using things like encryption and doing my own thing.

Come on American, what the hell happened? :(

No, I don't enjoy pain and frustration that much. I get large 22 inch by 30 inch sheets and cut them down to size (do a search for 'Zerkall Book Smooth' if you want the exact material). I cut out four 10x14 pieces per sheet, which gives me one signature. A signature consists of four sheets of paper stacked, then folded in half to make a little booklet. That yields 16 pages. Then the signatures are sewn together during the binding process.

Edit to add: I would have loved to use real parchment for a more authentic end product, but that amount of parchment would have cost thousands of dollars.
Post warranty repair to correct imperfections and adjustments. A car is still a mechanical device even if the engine is electric. Recalls also for that matter. Not arguing whether less but still needed.

Also, one of the things that dealers do is get people to buy. Fixed pricing doesn't work as well in selling autos which is an emotional purchase. People need to have an incentive to buy now and a human (with all the bs) can be helpful with that.

Because the dealership makes a small margin they have actually moved over the years to mega dealers who are able to sell multiple brands and move tons of product. My point is simply there isn't that much to wring out of the dealer system as people think.
US Helicopter used to do a run from the Wall St. heliport to JFK. It took about 10 minutes. It was never that expensive, costing under $200. It closed a few years ago (not sure why, but I doubt it was ever particularly economical). It was limited in that it only went to one terminal, so unless you were flying on whatever airline that was (Delta, I think), you'd have to use the monorail once you got there.

New York Helicopter will get you there now, at $875 per person, 2 minimum, but only to the GA terminal. I don't know how they expect you to get from there to your gate.

> An analogy would be breaking down the tasks performed by a doctor into chunks that could be done in isolation by minimum wage workers.

Which would be amazingly hard for all the same reasons writing a program to replace a doctor would be amazingly hard.

In a company like Walmart, which is entirely predicated on the existence of interchangeable minimum-wage workers, the main component they can't replace is the process all those workers follow which results in a working store. That's the software run by all the human hardware.

The thing that changed in 0.8 is that references are now stored as ObjectIds only instead of storing both the table name and the ObjectId (you can still get the old behavior by using dbref=True). However, you would still have to check whether or not the reference was an ObjectId to tell if it was valid.
