Well considering Compojure is a routing library and it does its one job right nothing to that. I'd want an asset pipeline like Sprockets, or better documentation to dieter, the equivalent library for Clojure.

PayScale - Seattle, WA http://www.payscale.com/about/jobs

Looking for two developer postions, one more full stack/front-end oriented and one platform/backend oriented. In Brief:

What would you do if you had over 457,000,000 facts about workers around the world–how they are paid, where they work, their commute times, benefits, years of experience, gender, job satisfaction and more? How would you collect, organize, display and mine such a large database? These are some of the challenges we face at online compensation company PayScale, where we have the world’s largest online database of detailed compensation data mined continuously with real-time analytics.

See positions for more info about our stack/technologies but really we are just looking for great developers, also definitely open-minded about incorporating new things. Great problems to solve, people, and work-life balance.

If you are interested apply online or just send me an email, joec@paycale.com.
Couldn't you have done something similar with Github's web hooks? Something like have it ping the build server when a commit is made on master which pulls the code and builds? I'm just curious why the need to trigger builds jumped pushed you all the way to hosting it on your own.
$71,000, which is high, but not astronomical

They also, on average, get a $50,000/year benefits package, including a fixed-benefit pension. Plus paid overtime. That's not high, or astronomical, it's absolutely outrageous.

> Why wouldn't he be?

Because there are no bored, humorless Marines in charge of whatever Federal prison Snowden would end up in. I would surmise he should expect the same treatment as any other civilian accused of a Federal felony.
Possession of an iPhone or other device as a system of authentication is actually less secure than even a fingerprint which at least takes some degree of skill and tools to lift off of a surface.

Sorry but the core of your idea is not a solid foundation upon which the rest of it should stand. You've obviously done a great deal of work and it "looks nice" so it hurts me to tell you this.

You've basically re-invented the Japanese INKAN...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inkan#Japanese_usage

Passwords, as painful as they are, work because they are secrets.

Fingerprints, eye scans, vein prints, voice patterns etc... are not secrets and can be/are replicated anytime.

Possession is just another form of a non-secret and between the moment your device is stolen and the moment you report the fact there is a window for abuse.

Passwords don't permit such abuses.

I hope my feedback will be constructive for you.

Isn't Dublin the tech industry headquarters for Europe? The City is still the financial capital for a huge number of markets and I doubt this would be able to shift it.

Asm.js is just a mangled subset of JavaScript.

Every Emscripten demo I've seen so far has either not worked, or been horribly slow. As far as I'm concerned, it really isn't a viable option at this point for anything remotely serious. It may be an interesting experimental idea, but it still needs a massive amount of work before it's seriously usable.

In the end, they're merely an abuse of JavaScript, rather than providing proper support like NDK provides for C and C++ under Android, for instance.
Congratulations on your decision. A lot of the time I feel like I should drop out of school, but don't because status quo just seems easier.
Yes, and people have called making a lot of money "killing it" before, too, but that doesn't suddenly make murder okay. How's that for a simple exercise in logic.

That doesn't really follow.

What he meant was that some people experienced him as hot, some experienced him as sexy, and some experienced him as creepy. In other words, he was not objectively any one of those things - different people had different expectations and standards. He was more appealing to some people than others.

And this is perfectly normal. Not everyone gets along with everyone else.
They could just hold him for years without a trial like what happened with Kevin Mitnick.
The exact same behavior which would be met with disgust and derision at a tech conference, could be considered flirtatious and hot if it came in the right tone of voice from a hot guy at a nightclub.

Exactly! Context is so important. And something that would be experienced as "inappropriate" at a given moment might be the perfect thing to do half an hour later. It's all about making other people comfortable in your presence.
Packer - First Thoughts
We have no idea what kind of pressures the US has brought to bear against those considering his requests.

He has the right to seek it. Closed door pressure against those who can grant it is very certainly extralegal interference.

If they have any legitimate legal reason to interfere with his asylum requests to third parties, why not just charge him with a crime that those third parties would see as valid, or exclude torture from his potential punishments?

This is not about extradition, it's about asylum. Presumably you only grant asylum if you believe an extradition request is bullshit to begin with.

The US only has one non-scumbag move here, and that's to charge him with a crime or crimes, and make a credible commitment that his potential treatment before, during, and after the trial doesn't violate his basic human rights.

Going behind closed doors doesn't suddenly make the charges more plausible (espionage? really? he gave the info only to journos, spoke to no govts) or magically clean up the US's history of human rights abuses and torture against enemies of the military, be it Manning or al-Awlaki.

Bad or good, guilty or innocent - it is always wrong to turn someone over to be tortured.
Haha, both my office and home neighborhoods have red blobs over them (for "hipster" in DC). Excellent.
I'd check the wording of those updates. It's usually that your service may be interrupted if you fail to update your credit card when it expires. And usually, the terms of the site say that you're on the hook for the recurring charge even if your card fails to clear.

You're hoping that the natural expiration cycle of your physical card - not the account - will impact a transaction that doesn't actually involve that physical implement. I can see where you're coming from, but I don't know that you really have a right to expect the expiration of your physical card to impact an existing business relationship with a third party that involves recurring charges (that you have likely agreed to pay regardless of your card's validity, or credit limit.)

I've worked on these kinds of renewal systems for large sites and generally, users don't mind them because the reverse case - where 4% of the users lose access each month because their physical card expired - sucks for both the site and the end users who don't expect access to be cut off.

If you want to use credit card changes as a shortcut for properly cancelling your subscription, you probably need to actually change the card number.
He never "stole" stock or pay from any of the early employees, he just never included stock options as part of the compensation, meaning they weren't a part of the windfall when Apple went public. Woz thought they should have, so he gave them some of his.

Also, unimportant sidenote (just trying to be helpful) - the correct way to say that is "didn't Steve steal stock").
All of these effects are smaller and of the same type as you might get from life events (like PTSD, or divorce). But that doesn't mean that "you are your marriage" in anything like the same sense as "you are your brain".
I think it's because the group in question -- nerds, essentially -- are among the least sexually successful population of males. And, generalizing here, that's because in various ways, they typically don't understand other people in a relatable way. So, owing to not being able to understand women, they get rejected and they can't understand why -- it feels like a black box. This feels unfair, and creates a sense of victimization.

So to tell people who are (maybe understandably) bitter and resentful, who are feeling like rejects and victims, that their behavior is the problem -- well, that just feels spiteful and insulting. From the perspective of the nerds, women are arbitrary and cruel, so fuck them and what they think of us. Further, now that women are becoming integrated into parts of nerd culture, this feels like an encroachment into the territory which was previously able to provide a haven/escape from female rejection.

This, at least, is what my experience has been in talking with others. I don't think I personally ever felt this way, but I also have never identified strongly as a nerd either. I'm definitely generalizing heavily.
Two things:

1. Spelling errors in the title of a blog post are a strong signal to me of how much effort an author put into a post. I realize its petty: Wade typed out tens of thousands of characters, why focus on one? But, still.

2. The disadvantage of this approach is that John Doe wearing a spokesman hat is going to give very different answers to questions than John Doe wearing a mentor hat. Often, the strongest insights are gleaned from the things people are most cautious about talking about.
Living in Logan Square, I can attest to this http://www.yelp.com/wordmap/chicago/hipster
As others have said, Glass + driving will lead to increased accidents and will likely be banned in the same manner as texting while driving. A recent study by AAA showed that voice-to-text messaging is more distracting than making calls with a cell phone. For the average person, multitasking while driving will almost always be more dangerous. Pilot HUDs are not comparable, because they are focused on flying, the task at hand, and pilots are highly trained in using them. I doubt that users will restrict themselves to map apps while driving.

I don't think it's all that fair of an assumption, and even so, he's only delaying the inevitable. He will be brought back and tried eventually.
I have seen a wide variety of reactions from people to this issue. They range from law-oriented, logic-oriented, or biologically-based viewpoints to exasperated "Damn, it, it was just an invitation to coffee!" types to completely illogical and counterproductive things like threats of violence.

My point is that the author here doesn't really say which of these he doesn't "get", but just blanket calls people who disagree with his viewpoint "nutters", and talks about "basement-stinking" reactions, and then claims that they are very common and says he doesn't get why. So he/she is really vague about the issue, and does not give any concrete data or opinions in the discourse relating to it.

EDIT: Another example, the last sentence of the article: "are these freaks going to keep jumping up and down on my lawn?" ← Do you think this is a measured, logical response by a person who is talking about responses to accusations of sexism etc. at tech conferences?
What I like about Vagrant is that while a provisioner can help, it's not mandatory. If you're stuck with a legacy "enterprise! It sings, it dances, it crashes if you look at it funny!" application with a lot of special requirements, you can get up and running pretty quickly with a little bash and perl. I whipped up a Vagrant script for our app which is capital-F Finicky.

If you're curious, here's the vagrantfile and bootstrap script:

Seriously how does a simple comment like "yeah, getting called out hurts" lead to this much fucking witch-hunting? I feel like you guys are about to dox me and send SWAT to my house. Why aren't you ganging up on kalms, who responded in agreement?

I already answered your question that you're somehow still demanding an answer to. There's a TV channel devoted to people who want to ignore the fact that someone responded to their question and make conveniently and intentionally false accusations in an attempt to discredit them.

I broke my hand once, and before I could get to the hospital the bone started to heal. It needed to be rebroken in order to heal properly. Sure the doctor broke my hand out of love for his patient. IT STILL FUCKING HURT.

BART jobs are quite supply constrained. Sure, union jobs are great if you can get one, but there aren't many to go around.

Plus, who would really enjoy working in a workplace where everyone doesn't care? I couldn't stand it even if I were paid more, couldn't lose my job, and had more vacation time.
I'd like to think we wouldn't need to make such a fundamental change again in the future, but if we did decide it was necessary, I hope that we would give everyone plenty of time to make whatever change to their account was necessary to avoid painful outcomes like that.
So many questions! Why would they think it was alright to cuff the videographer? Why wouldn't they expect a dog to attempt to protect his owner? If they had successfully cuffed the gentleman and taken him away in the squad car, would they have left the dog in a hot car (a crime here in Pennsylvania)? Why weren't the other people taking videos also arrested?

I hope some of these police officers lose their jobs, but apparently the laws no longer those who are supposed to enforce them. If our president acts like he's above the law, why shouldn't everyone else with even a smidgen of authority?

In any case, the video is horrible. As a dog owner, I can imagine the poor guys sadness and I can only hope he isn't persecuted (used to be prosecuted) for "having a dangerous dog".
How to rise early and why successful people do it
Sure you did, up there where you said "it's only disruptive...". That is saying you want school optimised for other people's needs (perhaps not yours, specifically). The tone of the comment ("industrial age") indicates that you think it's broken and needs to change.
One thing that's interesting, at least about the domestic surveillance portions, is that people of both major political ideologies seem equally outraged.

As for spying on non-Americans...we have decades of propaganda ^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H movies that make that cool and desirable.
I think it's because the men in the ensuing backlash put themselves in the place of the creeper and empathize with a feeling of persecution or believe the behavior to be misinterpreted by the author/experiencer. Most men won't feel intimidated or fear for their safety just by the unwanted presence of a woman, so it may be difficult for some to empathize with the opposite of this experience. Add on to this that, as humans, we judge others for their actions, but ourselves for our intent. Many men are not going to physically hurt women, and commenters that empathize with the creeper come to assessment that since they wouldn't hurt her, then she must have been over-reacting. (This fails to take into account that the woman in the situation doesn't at all know what the man she is intimidated by is going to do or what kind of harm he could cause her.) Add the stereotype of the regular nerd culture participant as being socially awkward and thus unaware of many rules regarding social interaction, and it's easy to paint a caricature of an unaware fool who was just misunderstood and is now being bullied for his awkwardness.

Worse than that. You are at the mercy of what service providers think of both them AND all of their clients.

Suppose that they have a customer who uses their service to install malware in people's accounts, and Google catches them. Google isn't going to just shut off one customer. They are going to revoke the client_id associated with OAuth.io, causing every customer to lose access. (A malware author could try this because they would hope that malicious requests are more easily lost inside the torrent of other stuff coming from OAuth.io.)

And it isn't just a customer who is intentionally bad. If a customer gets compromised by a malware author who uses that as a vector, well, same story.

You do not want your access to business-critical APIs to depend on a third party reseller who cannot guarantee their own continued access. Really.

To reduce the amount of useless clutter that Google displays in search results, try verbatim mode.

You can turn on verbatim mode on the search results page. Click on the Search Tools menu, then look in the All Results menu for the Verbatim option.

The verbatim option tells Google to use all your search terms, as-is, and (at least at present) the search results are much less cluttered.

To always use verbatim mode, remove the search terms from the URL in the address bar (leaving intact the other parameters that turn on verbatim mode) and create a bookmark.

Don't tell Google about this feature... I depend on it!
No, it is where we note that neither of the women filed a complaint against Assange about anything at all. They showed up at a police station asking if they could compel an HIV test.

They were interviewed by a friend of one of the women, in violation of police procedure, and the police on that basis decided to start an investigation without a complaint from the women. An investigation the first prosecutor closed down because she claimed there was no case to answer at all.

One of the women have since consistently refused to sign the police interview protocols.

Now, this might happen if someone is raped. But as it stands, it is unclear to what extent the women even agree with the police transcripts, much less with the police's interpretation of what they said.
My dad is about the most anti-authoritarian person I know, going so far as to sue the USG during 'nam for false induction.

These days he gets all his news from (Michigan) broadcast TV and radio, and is pretty reclusive and doesn't talk to anyone.

The narrative he'd constructed from these limited inputs was that he's an egomaniac computer hacker who took government data and then went to China and Russia. Technically it's not false, but that's the narrative (and all the implication) he'd assembled, given only MSM reports.

I think this is much bigger news outside of the US than inside, and that's pretty sad. Then again, Obama claims "foreign entities" (thanks for pretty solidly Othering all of the 6.5+ billion other humans) are the only ones that get surveilled without a warrant.

This whole thing stinks. Why'd NSA have to pull this stupid shit anyway? Did they really think that there'd be some huge domestic unrest against the military if they DIDN'T tap everyone's phones and resultantly missed some attack that hurts fewer people than we blow up quarterly with drones?

I don't get it. The logic simply doesn't pan out, and these aren't stupid people, because you can't build information processing systems at this scale and be dumb.

I feel like I'm missing something critical.

I really hate arguments based on parsing words, but the Wikileaks statement says:

"This kind of deception from a world leader is not justice, and neither is the extralegal penalty of exile"

Doesn't "exile" refer to his being without a passport? So isn't he clearly saying that it's extralegal?
Wrote for a photocopied zine in college which allowed me to talk to some of my favorite bands.

Some quick advice, interviews should document a conversation lists of questions with answers reads like crap. Prepare questions but use them to lead a conversation (ask follow ups to dig deeper), record this in person or on the phone and type up the best parts that you want publish.

I tend to be more lenient of malice than incompetence. If your goals don’t align with mine, fine, maybe we can still work something out. But if you are in the data-handling business (Facebook, Google etc. are) and you fail to handle data properly, you should rather die today than tomorrow.
BART jobs are quite supply constrained

That's because they pay way too much. If they paid commensurate to required skill level, demand would drop because the true equilibrium price is much lower.
This will likely go to court and the dog owner will win a settlement for wrongful arrest.

Here in LA I regularly hear stories like this. I don't know the local stats, but in NYC apparently the city has paid out over $500million in litigation settlements, including those for false arrest.

Unless you have a real emergency and need assistance, it's best to avoid the police whenever possible, even if you've done nothing wrong. Local police forces have many officers that are poorly trained and believe that they have plenary power or act as if they do in any situation. Of course, this isn't true about all local police officers, but if you don't know which officers are the good ones, you should just avoid all police whenever possible. Even large "local" police departments have very negative reputations in America; especially the NYPD, LAPD and Chicago PD.

I think that that stories on HN about FBI abuses of power are popular because people expect more from the FBI. It's comforting to think that there is a highly trained law enforcement group that can intercede when a local department is incompetent or inadequate, and the realization that the FBI can be just as bad or even worse than local law enforcement is disheartening.
tokenadult, that is a loaded expectation that Wikileaks is disempowered from fulfilling, since they simply publish what is received after anonymizing and verifying where possible.

In fact, back in 2009, Assange told me personally he was surprised not to have received more information from China.
