> I mean we were so isolationist that we were willing to watch Europe burn from afar rather than do anything. There's no telling what would have happened without Pearl Harbor; the U.S. may never have joined the war against Germany at all, in fact.

Yes, and? Did Europe intervene in the American Civil War, or in any of the multitude of conflicts in the Americas, East Asia, or Africa over the past 200 years? Even the rest of Europe abandoned Austria and Czechoslovakia to the Germans before Poland fell. Going to war is a huge commitment, and doing it purely for the benefit of a continent that has spent the last several centuries hell-bent on destroying itself sounds like a really bad idea.

The worst part is, when the US government does see a situation that calls for military intervention, like Vietnam or Iraq, that gets criticized as well.

My advice for an an aspiring 20 yr old jumpstart his career?

Work pays the bills, so for now do what you can... but then at night, work on what you enjoy or want to learn (like coding).

Once you have a portfolio of work and code to share, you can apply for jobs and reference your past work.
Then trust that other people (like me) who still have privileges flagged the post already.

Some of the excuses from the boy's parents: "You know! Boys will be boys!” “He. Just. Can’t. Help himself!”

Wait, isn't it a parent's job to teach their kid how to "help himself"...?

Thank you Edwin Snowden. In the end, you have made us more free.
I find it funny to read a bunch of outraged reactions from Californians. You guys allow this by voting in the nut cases that you vote in to the legislature.

Why does a customer service rep make over $110k? Because the city/state/agency allowed for work rules that strictly assigns overtime based in seniority and only seniority.

Why is there so much overtime? Because the agency doesn't maintain an adequate staffing level and doesn't improve productivity via technical means, hire more people, or supplement with temps. Probably because somebody in 1990 gave away the store to the union.

In New York, people are always bitching about police OT and loaded pensions. NY made things especially expensive because police and fire unions are entitled to mandatory binding arbitration. So the unions ask for 20%, and the city/town/etc say 5%. The arbitrator says 10% raise with free healthcare forever.
There are so many falsehoods and half-truths packed into this comment that I don't even know where to start.
We're definitely on the same page. What I'm getting at is the general human capacity for hubris, ideology, and group loyalty.

The One-Way Panopticon may be a horrible idea both morally and practically, but given the above human foibles, I'm not ready to jump to the easy conclusion that the perpetrators are Evil, Idiots, or Evil Idiots. People are complicated, and I ultimately lack sufficient data to assess motives. Rather, there are so many possible motives, at some point it doesn't really matter.

EDIT: I should clarify: When I say "they'd be stupid not to spy", I mean in the sense of short-sighted immediate goals. Obviously, on a larger scale, it is sheer lunacy.
Thanks for the correction.

In that case, I fail to see the value add that they claim to provide.
The police were originally on scene for an armed robbery. Since the where there because of someone with a gun it makes sense that they officers would be well armed themselves.
For NYC, I would expect the Lower east side to be the hit http://www.yelp.com/wordmap/nyc/hipster
>they didn't just shoot the dog with no provocation - the dog lunges 2 or 3 times at the officers with clear aggressive intent before it's shot

the dog didn't start without provocation - they attacked his owner.

>The dog's last lunge toward the officer who killed it was very fast and aggressive, and the officer had just a split second to react.

if that dog really attacked, instead of just lounging, these fat cops wouldn't leave unharmed.

>If I was in the same situation at that split second, I might have done the same thing. I was once chased and attacked by an aggressive dog before, and I rank it as one of the most terrifying experiences in my life. Being attacked by an animal with clear intent to harm or even kill you is just so primally scary that there's no way to think and react rationally - you just do whatever you can to get away and survive.

it is you fear speaking. When dogs attack with intent to harm - they harm.
Organize and form a union with like-minded co-workers and then use your collective bargaining power to negotiate better terms of employment. You know you can do that, right?

On confidence and finding motivation to press on
Another approach you can use, but very sparingly, is to take a position on something that you know is on the opposite side of what you know Super Busy/ super smart Person A takes. For this to work, you must do your homework and present reasonably good contra arguments. Often times, these type A people cannot resist showing off and will stay up all night putting together awesome research "proving you wrong". Thank them politely for helping you and use all the information they just graciously provided. Again, sparingly, and you must do your homework, you have to be careful, be sure to acknowledge their contribution.
That's a conspiracy theory, and not one that stands up to much scrutiny.
Why is Iceland not in the list? Weren't they one of the first who offered an asylum?
Ireland? The Irish government cooperates with US government better than many US States.

Sounds like Mr. Snowden's run is winding down.
Thanks for the answers. And I did wonder, if you plan to implement something like groups? ( As far as I understand, this would be something like sharing a private key.)
I want to say first off, thanks for linking such an informative article (as if I needed more to be depressed about tonight).

I hope I haven't given the impression that I think prolonged solitary confinement is acceptable. But I will say that the idea of someone as infamous as Snowden being put in solitary without actually trying to shank someone is implausible IMHO. Manning's supporters managed to get him transferred out of a military brig, after all, and Snowden's is a much more sympathetic case (with much more international attention to boot).
The problem isn't "Boys Will Be Boys" it's "Parents Aren't Being Parents". It's not a gender issue. I've seen quite a few destructive tyrants, and I've seen quite a few screeching harpies. The common factor is a spineless parent.
I don't think that get's 100% lost. Just look at @dunn's posts on Medium. He's got a following through those.
The trains drive themselves in normal circumstances. The operator is needed only to close the doors. The elevators (and especially the escalators) are frequently out of service for days at a time.

I think people are mainly annoyed that BART workers want big raises when the system works so poorly. If all the escalators worked and the maintenance guys could stop crashing their shit into each other in the middle of the tube, then maybe we could talk.
Just keep reading, you'll find it.
The author originally noticed the snooping because he happened to be examining the phone's traffic when the ActiveSync credentials were sent. If you actually read the entire article, you'll notice that credentials were sent for Exchange, Facebook, Twitter, Photobucket, Picasa, YouTube, IMAP, POP, Yahoo Mail, and Flickr. Of those, the Microsoft and Yahoo services are the only ones where passwords are NOT sent, meaning you leak less data using ActiveSync than you do using IMAP.
Not that hard to google it yourself: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/06/24/bart-strike_n_34931.... Simple interest isn't additive, that should be the first clue.
While LaunchKey relies of physical possession as an authentication factor at its most basic level, LaunchKey provides and encourages the use of multi-factor authentication through additional factors such as a knowledge factor (PIN or Combo Lock) and inherence factor (geographic location). Comparing a single factor of authentication, as is the case with a password (knowledge) or Inkan (possession), to that of the multi-factor authentication found in LaunchKey (possession + knowledge + inherence) is a fallacy.

Make sure to watch the part before this video too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ffwxaTpJTyI

I don't think the arrest was entirely unnecessary. The guy was really provoking the police right from the moment when he arrives. He knows he's messing with them and I think taking that dog out of the car was just another thing done to annoy them. He was asking for trouble and he got it.

Off course it's sad that the dog was shot. That was handled poorly. I guess people do stupid things in stressful situations where they don't have time to think.
If they have not done so already, low latency traders should be all over this thing. Much easier than trying to do it with just FPGA's.
This blog post is not about parenting or differences in upbringing between genders. It is a metaphor for rape, which is this feminist blogger's real topic.
XMPPConnection and PacketReader are parts of the Smack XMPP library. If you're the curious type, you can adb into your phone and do a `ps` to correlate the PID that's generating these messages (772 here) with an apk. Then you can dump that apk and disassemble/decompile it (i.e. using apktool, dex2jar, and your favorite Java decompiler).
> ...destructive tyrants, and ... screeching harpies. The common factor is a spineless parent.

... and typically they all seem to be seated in the row next to mine when I fly. The ability of some parents to calmly read a magazine and smile indulgently while their kid screams his head off and generally runs amok in a cramped and crowded space where nobody can leave is ... quite astonishing.... (13 hours left, only 13 hours...TT)
So that others don't have to search, it's brony porn, where 'brony' means 'middle-aged man who's obsessed with the "My Little Pony" television show. NSFW, obviously.
Is it okay? Most would say "no", especially when applied to the metaphor that the blog writer is going for. Is it how the larger world works in many cases? Sadly, yes.
Google it, stop being lazy. You're welcome to do your own research and refute something.
I just can't understand how parents can think like that. My parents were never very disciplinarian, but one thing I got zero leeway with was being disrespectful to other people. Even when the other person was like "oh, it's okay, he's just a kid!" my parents would chew me the fuck out.
I shouldn't have to Google it myself, you're making the claims. You can't just drop a whole bunch of numbers in a thread, present them as facts, and not cite any sources whatsoever. It does no one who is trying to learn about the subject matter any favors and isn't constructive at all.
It's not the overtime that's controversial, it's the gaming of the system. For example missing a shift and then taking another one to get overtime. The only people in the entire country who get overtime for working 35 hours are transit operators.
If the little girl had smacked the little boy, she would have been punished. Also, you're advocating the lesson that boys should be afraid of reprisal, not that boys should be respectful of other people's stuff, which is the wrong lesson entirely.
My own experience agrees. Making the switch to waking up really early increased my productivity and mood significantly. I found that melatonin pills (in the short term) and the Sleep Cycle app (despite the iffy science behind it) worked very well in adjusting and maintaining my sleep schedule. Additionally, I programmed the AC to kick in about 30 minutes before I wake up so it gets cold and hard for me to stay sleeping.

It also helps to have alarm clocks strategically placed in places hard to reach while your eyes are closed.
Possession in the case of authentication is used for starting our cars, entering our homes and seems to be used in Japan for banking. We all have keys in our pocket that we rely on for security.

The "first real-time big data server"? You realize where you are posting this, right?
In my experience too, websites with direct downloads are better. It is easy to make webfonts even when FontSquirrel marks the font for copyright too if you have a software like FontLab. Just remove the designer/copyright information in the Font Info menu.

I'm doing the same.

I'm narrowing it down to NLP because the math requirement is less. So the barrier to entry is much less and there are two courses already on Coursera.

I took stat1 and ml on coursera already.
My point is that with an browser (similar to an OS), they cannot take things lightly and flag things left and right based on "heuristics". With great power comes great responsibility.

My point is that if you are going to design a system to identify bad websites it better be fail safe otherwise it is going to cause a lot of hurt.

The message shown in the browser for a phishing warning is the same as when a website has an invalid SSL certificate.
The first is vaguely accurate, the latter is 100% accurate and no one is going to argue if the warning is needed. Both show the mind chilling warning no sane user will click through.

I am more interested in removing the phishing filter than in writing a phishing filter.

Anyways, with a 'closed' server component also in the mix, what option is there to provide any implementation.

IMHO, I think that doing things for the 'benefit of most' will lead to eroded freedoms for all over time.

PS: 'Supply a better implementation' is not an answer to writing poor code and hoisting on the world.
Yelp does not like Tor.
If you think "m00n" vs. "moon" or "The" vs. "the" matters, you're not paying attention. A memorizable, but randomly composed string of words all in lower-case ASCII is significantly stronger than anything "complex" (for you, hardly for the cracker--common substitutions are basically worthless: they provide no entropy) you can concoct and remember.
It seems unlikely that if they offered asylum they would then reject it after he arrived in the country. An application can not hurt and makes it likely for the country to make a public statement.
> when visiting a city. Click tourist and avoid

So you're too good to be a tourist when you're a tourist? You sound like a hipster.

> click hipster and go there

Oh wait...

But in all seriousness, if I go to Rome, I want to see The Colosseum. If I go to Amsterdam, I want to see the Van Gogh Museum. Not being a tourist somewhere means having already seen what the tourists there are just seeing for the first time. Would you really prefer to go everywhere and never see anything at all? I'm not going to NYC just to see hipsters. I can see that at home.
I'm chagrinned to be defending BART maintenance workers, but there are some challenges: http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/BART-labors-to-keep-es...
I feel it is made for fast Oauth integration.
We use 4 oauth providers into one of our app, and it took us really 4 full days to implement them without bug. We are not Oauth experts but it was really boring and IMO useless implementation time.

Also I'm personaly making a client-side app on a Github page and it seems that with oauth.io I could make a serverless Facebook/Twitter authenticated app.
This whole "all men are rapists" or "all men are potential rapists" message that is constantly being shoved down our throats must surely be hugely damaging to our society. This accusing video[1] stands out amongst my early exposure to something along these lines. I remember feeling angry that such scorn was directed towards me just because of my gender.

I am a very gentle person, I would never hurt anyone, I rescue insects from the swimming pool but yet I am being told that I am a potential monster. I don't like that.

I don't disagree, and I'm excited about these new developments - but continuity-of-consciousness would continue even if I had my bowel ripped out. This is not the case if I had my brain ripped out.

On the other hand, people with radical brain surgery still think they're the same person, putting aside cases like Phineas Gage.

On the gripping hand, even though transferring my brain and its shell to a different body will still maintain my memories, and continuation-of-consciousness and transferring everything neck-down won't, if the person with my guts-and-spleen acts more like me, and the person with my head on their shoulders acts more like the guy whose anus it's attached to acts more like them, perhaps it could be said that we really did switch, despite the memories.
While it would make me proud if my country granted asylum to Snowden, I'm quite sure that no European politician will dare provoke the wrath of the American Empire -- there would be no clear benefits but obvious disadvantages.

There's a fairly high standard you have to meet to make a claim like that, and just stating that "most reasonable people recognize" your claims of an anti-Assange conspiracy don't suffice to carry the point.
A classic, thank you for posting. I recall seeing this a long time ago, very interesting. It is something that everyone needs to review.
We're in the middle of this war between giant companies around the future of collaboration. Google, Cisco, Microsoft, etc are aggressively building marketshare for cloud services and telecom, but they're success will eventually mean that they'll run out of new customers. So they need to steal from each other.

For Microsoft, XMPP federation is a great way to contain Google and make inroads on places that are Cisco IM/phone shops. In the long run, they want to extend corporate email dominance to phone via Lync/Skype.

Google doesn't want to be a commodity. Hangouts is their secret sauce. What do they gain by being open?

IANAL and I know nothing about the logistics/legality of this, but is it possible to appeal to the EU at large rather than specific nations? Or for a nation receiving such an application to appeal to the EU for validation of its acceptance of that application? It seems like "Germany, with the support of the EU" would be more weighty than "Germany", just as an example.
This parallels Warren Buffet's strategy of residing in Omaha to completely avoid the influence of Wall Street hive-mind thinking.

There's something to be said for uninterrupted focus, whether its an individual coding solo, or a business focused on steady growth.
I'm not clear what your laundry list of things has to do with application development on a local developer's machine (the problem Vagrant is trying to solve). Is there some new way of development where developers never run on localhost and all those complex considerations are handled for them? It sounds like you're describing a full production or integration environment which is most definitely not the primary use case for Vagrant.
>Keep up the pro-microsoft posts!

Yeah I listed one pro and three cons, that is definitely a pro MS post. According to you, anyone who says anything good about MS or Google is a shill. Glad we aren't living anymore in the 90's M$-hate slashdot era.

>resurgence

If 8+% market share is "resurgence", I have no idea what you are going to say about Firefox or Ubuntu Mobile OS.
I think this is a step backward. The OAuth specs were designed to make it easier to work with different services and now we have to utilize yet another service to communicate with those services?! Via a priority protocol even!

As a developer, I understand the pain when you have to deal with more than a handful of providers but this approach is a no-go IMHO. Would be a better idea to use something like HybridAuth and handle everything from your servers.
