Not sure what relevance a shooting in a jewelry store has to do with HN...
Start personal web presence where you discuss things that matter to you. Then start networking and leverage those relationships to find your dream job. In my young career I've had a few major transitions, and they were all due to having a professional network that wasn't static. In other words, you can't wait to use your network when you need something, like a job, you always need to be staying in contact with people and putting yourself out there. As I mentioned earlier, that includes an online presence, this makes it easier to reach out to leaders in your desired industry.
Whenever I read things like this, I remember charts like these:

So, progress...
The reason I did not link to a specific article is that there are so many on both sides of the debate. However, my experience and the experience of my female friends that underwent similar education are all positive on both sides. Also, I am willing to bet that the top US schools are mostly private and mostly single-sex or segregated. They are in my area.
I'm sorry; as interest has picked up we'll try to improve quality as we go along. First episode was an experiment.
Could you please list those better quality and less expensive alternatives for my edification? :) Especially active noise-cancelling headphones that are better quality and cheaper than QuietComfort. The Audio Technica ATH-M50s mentioned in this thread look like a pretty good less expensive alternative if you don't need low-frequency cancellation, but I'd love an affordable pair of active cancellors for flights.
Goodbye old man, you made shitty overpriced products.
I understand that they are different technically, but given that the performance implications are going to be nil for most people and docstrings have a similar function as comments, is it really necessary to be on such a high horse over something so minor?

I'll answer my own question: no.
Thank you GitHub!!

We lose so many users due to the permissions we need at https://circleci.com, this is going to be awesome!
And each time some General somewhere noted 'Reorganized unit to align with modern mission goals' as a performance evaluation bullet item for themselves.
Yeah I just wanted to point out the native elements when you just want to use the default ones. But it is probably not clear enough...
Luckily the United States have no infrastructure problems.
What pisses me off is that the only reason any of the politicians are even considering the repeal of any domestic surveillance is because of "blowback."

What about doing the right thing?

What about our Bill of Rights?

What about that fabled "Moral High Ground?"

It seems like for reduced calorie Coke specifically, it is marketed as "Diet Coke" or "Diet Coca Cola", in at least Australia[1], New Zealand[2], The United Kingdom[3], India, Israel and The US[4].

A while loop and temporary mutable variables are definitely not the Pythonic way of doing this. More idiomatic:

$ time python -c 'print sum(xrange(100000000 + 1))'
5000000050000000

real 0m1.398s
user 0m1.383s
sys 0m0.012s

Comparison to baseline:

$ time (echo -e 'n=0 \ni=0 \nwhile (i <= 100000000): \n n += i \n i += 1 \n\nprint(n)\n' | python)
5000000050000000

real 0m33.140s
user 0m32.939s

Ya, that's what I meant by the 'inertia' of Firefox. It takes a lot to move the needle on it. The comparison is definitely illustrative though.

(The part about everyone finding Firefox on DDG was a joke.)
I'd like to see a study of response rates on resume's that are nearly the same, except for the gender, and race implied by the name. I feel like that would provide a pretty good measure to figure out how discriminatory our jobs system is.
I agree.

The director of NSA who lied about the capabilities of the program needs to be prosecuted for perjury.
If a man that is not a member of a protected minority complains about profanity, the powers that be tell him to suck it up. If a protected minority complains, the user of profanity may be fired (see: Adria Richards)
I'd compare Bose to a full-size sedan, something like a Toyota Avalon. Toyota designed the Avalon to provide a smooth and calm ride in a luxurious package. So the Avalon's suspension/steering/engine are all tuned for a smooth ride, which is the exact opposite of what car enthusiasts want. An active driver would be happier with a BMW or a Subaru. But if my grandparents drove a Subaru WRX, they'd hate the same qualities that make it enjoyable to the enthusiast.

Bose actively processes the input, which does improve the sound quality to the casual listener. It's exactly what those kind of listeners want. Audiophiles want exact reproduction of the original source, so it's not a good choice for their preferences. But by dissing Bose, audiophiles are doing a disservice to the casual listener, the same way as if I pushed my grandparents toward a WRX.
Really interesting.. Bookmarked and I'll certainly be back..

100% Wrong. Your marketing failed.
Any chance of publishing this on iTunes? I find that a very convenient way to listen to podcasts.

In 1776, only a small group of the educated elite could vote. In 2013, you don't even have to be literate.
It is just another option for a framework...it included some cool features that flatstrap does not probably the checkbox and radios buttons are the best example...

Also it was a challenge I put on myself and built better css
We've done this for a lot of data vis work. Clients have access to a cms which lets them stage and publish their data. Doing so puts JSON files on s3 where we also serve the site. There are some trade offs, sometimes you miss having that rest api, but you also gain a lot too.
> In the beginning, Snowden stated he didn't want the news to be focused on him (see how that's turned out) but instead focus on the NSA.

People keep talking about what Snowden said, but why do they not look at what he did?

If he really wanted to be out of the news it would be easy. Just ask Thomas Drake.

Instead he's turned himself into a longtailed human interest story, despite his protestations to the contrary. If he's smart enough to act as a network structural hacker then surely he's smart enough to recall what types of stories drive the most media coverage in the U.S.

His job in this was to get the evidence out there, let civil rights groups use it to carry on the fight, and to get himself back out of the media spotlight. Instead he's and WikiLeaks are sucking up all the oxygen from the EFF and ACLU.
The difference between the competition we have now and the 'UNIX wars' is all a matter of licensing.
With the latter, proprietary licensing caused a large part of this fragmentation as there was no easy way of using code from one project in another to preserve compatibility.

Today, most of these projects are FOSS, so the risk of another '*nix war' has been negated to the point of being a non-issue.
Like the hat or dislike the hat? :)
Putting things together with your hands is what mechanics do.

New resume generally attracts more attention than resume that was posted long time ago.

That could explain the difference.
Koreans "understand" the threat of 'fan death'. What are the actual numbers of whistleblowers who are raped in prison in cases like this?
What is sexist, the fact that men and women handle the work/home balance in very different ways, or the company's recognition of that fact?

Any audiophiles here know if we'll ever witness Bose or Sonos type speakers(sound) built into our mobile devices?

Full disclosure - We created a web app that plays audio in sync across multiple Internet devices (http://SpeakerBlast.com) & are curious about the advances being made in this field.

Could our IP devices used alone or in harmony ever produce the same sound quality of a Bose or Sonos speaker?
I could not find the source, nor the original news article that I read.

But while looking, I instead found research that slightly contradicted my current understanding of the subject. They[1,2] claimed that there is no difference between female and male management in how they discriminate. They say that both genders are equally bad in creating equality in the work space (deciding hiring or pay rate).

So I still stand by that we need to change people rather than men, but thanks for pushing me to look for sources.

This is doing it wrong. You must bias to false negatives. You must make the initial impression and experience sacrosanct. You must avoid penalizing your paying customers.

It's stupid to do this so obviously, so quickly, and for it to be triggered by jail breaking. Jailbreak != piracy!
And even when it was being developed in the open, it still managed to make the vast majority of the community have qualms with the direction GS was heading in.
Hell, Cinnamon is a good case and point, an open source project who had to fork the GS code base in order to add features that they felt the user would prefer.
Back when the constitution was written it was common to prosecute criminals yourself: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_prosecution#United_Stat...
Yup. I don't dispute that. Quotas would work against that too.

Quotas really are quite a multifaceted fix.

- Directly and immediately drive up numbers.

- Create a demand for women that pulls the supply.

- Create a supply of women leaders with experience and skills.

- And create somewhere for them to go, so they don't get discouraged and quit.

- Change people's mental image of working with/for women from abstract and theoretical to specific and personal. Overwrite their stereotypes with actual experience. This goes for both men and women.
Good story.

It'll be easy to see if the NSA's survelliance programs continue, just check if the parking lot is full at their Utah data center: http://nsa.gov1.info/utah-data-center/
If you want to lose weight, the type of calories don't matter as much as quantity. So in regard to the 2 230 calorie amounts you've cited, they'll both contribute to weight loss, or weight gain, equally, depending on what side of a daily or weekly caloric budget they land on.

Consider this:

A popular belief is that 1 lb. of fat contains about 3500 calories. [1] By that measure, and assuming you regularly eat at maintenance calorie level each week, eating 3500 calories below what will result in about a 1 lb. reduction in body weight that week. (which realistically turns out to be mostly fat, but can also include small amounts of lean muscle, too).

Whether you create that deficit from removing sugar, fat, carbs, or protien doesn't matter.

But that's solely for weight loss. When you simultaneously want to increase lean muscle, exercise and protein become more important. Also consider medical conditions that require adhering to certain diet regimen.

So I'm not saying that, globally, what you eat doesn't matter, only that weight loss primarily comes down to maintaining a caloric deficit. To supplement, of all the diet programs out there ... Atkins, South Beach, and even intermittent fasting ... the one thing they all have in common is that they promote a caloric deficit, somehow. And they have to, other wise they wouldn't work!

[1] Some argue the 3500 calories = 1 lb. of fat is bs. All I can say is that I've based my caloric deficit on it and it seems to hold true. I dropped my weekly caloric budget by 7k calories, and have been losing about 2 lbs. a week.
Sigh, its sad to see the technology stuff getting side swiped in the comments by ideological rhetoric.

A 76 mile tunnel, under water, is an ambitious effort. Just like tunneling through a mountain in Switzerland [1] was an ambitious effort.

What these projects do is advance the knowledge we have of how to build tunnels (which since we don't do them all that often is very precious knowledge). The notion of having it be a covered trench tunnel like Boston's Big Dig is interesting although at the depths they are talking about it might be interesting to make a semi-floating tube type tunnel. Either way, taking on the challenge is intrinsically interesting to people who are amazed by very large infrastructure projects.

The reason why pirates seem to always win, is that it is highly asymmetric. To do this correctly takes more patience and sneakiness than 90% of executives have in the technology context. Not everyone can be Irwin Rommel or Laurence of Arabia.

Are there really places where C# is less verbose by any significant margin? The only thing I can think of is that a well-written LINQ library lets you abstract away a tremendous amount of heavy lifting into a clean and declarative query, but other than that pretty much everything requires more keywords, punctuation and declaration in C#.

Don't get me wrong, C# is relatively explicit and regular, which does wonders for its readability especially in large projects with many collaborators. But brevity is not one of its strong suits, nor should it be.
It's 245kb and over 9000lines of CSS :-/ Is there a reason why it's double the size of other CSS Frameworks?

Anything half the price will outperform what Bose has to offer. It’s all based on deception and marketing. For example, in store Bose displays have to be set far away from other speakers so you can’t make a fair comparison and the demos are played very loud to mask the thin sound quality.

You have to stand in awe of their excellent capability to convince so many that their cheaply made 1000% markup junk is worth the money.
Curious question. How does one get proper air flow in a tunnel that long?

I would rather he come home so that he can undergo the normal civilian legal process he claims to want involved in the law enforcement activities the U.S. government seeks to undertake.

The latest stat I've seen is that only 4% of iOS devices are jailbrokem.
Hey thanks a lot for the feedback!!...it's really great!...I totally agree with on the row-fluid class name I'll updated that. I want to make a more semantic class names to give more meaning to the markup....
I'll consider the font on the navbar...probably just reduce the font weight would do the trick....

Thanks again for the feedback. I'll be working on it! :)
Is it, or is it not criminal acts we are talking about here?

But ignoring that boycotts are largely fruitless. So if it is truly hopeless to demand your government respect your rights and freedoms then yes, you are probably fucked.
Epic Google+ Fail & why randomly sharing entire +1'ed (liked) post of a friend.
It's strange though. I'd bet that you could depend upon the illiterate to make a reasonable choice. I think they'd favor the candidate/party who would educate their children. It's crap like in this video where some guy apparently has no trouble finding people willing to sign a petition to "repeal the Bill of Rights" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k0he0cqHH20

PS Forgive me for the partisan nature of the video, the guy seems to maybe imply that the opposite party is less likely to fall in line so easily. I don't think that's the case at all. Just that people in general give very little attention and thought to politics.

As far as funding goes, I heard an interesting program[1] recently on History Counts[2] which claimed that the CIA was covertly funding its own operations in Southeast Asia through drug trafficking.[3][4]

In comparison, the wholesale spy program that's been in the news recently has far more potential for profit through economic espionage, blackmail, and various types of political manipulation. It could easily be self-financing if the information gathered through it was exploited.

This program is a proverbial goose laying golden eggs for the government. I really can not imagine them closing it down over a bit of bad press (which will probably die down and blow over as soon as the next big scandal hits).

[1] - http://www.radio4all.net/index.php/program/30027

[2] - http://www.radio4all.net/index.php/series/History+Counts

[3] - A small excerpt:

Q: "Through the drug profits, were these operations essentially self-financing?"

A: "Everything in the Far East was self-financing"

Q: "And they were off the books, so there was no public record or accounting?"

A: "Of course I'm speculating here, because no one has done me the favor of showing me the CIA's books, but I think when we get to the scale of a 35,000 man army in Laos in the 1960's -- Congress found out about that and held hearings in to it and were complaining they've never been told about it, so I assume all of that was financed by the drug traffic than it was -- whatever input there was from the CIA's legitimate budget was minimal compared to what was happening... that was built up continuously from the 1950's"

[4] - I'm not saying I believe in this particular conspiracy theory. I've really not looked in to this subject beyond this one History Counts show. But I could see something like it happening, and the current mood is one where such conspiracy theories are starting to look more probable than usual.
I'd heard of the book, I guess I issued the part where it had recipes. Book ordered. Thanks for the pointer!

The company's assumption that the stereotype of how women handle work life balance applies to any specific woman. That's pretty much the definition of sexism. Also, the fact that a company would never ask if a man had any time consumer hobbies or other sorts of things that might prevent them giving 100% to their jobs, because when kids and women aren't involved, companies generally assume that their employees are grownups and can balance their various obligations like grownups.
Manning was not a good candidate for martyrdom anyways. His case had obvious ulterior motives, he didn't turn himself in (but did brag about it), made the barest of attempts to go to the media, leaked way, way more than was necessary, what he did leak wasn't even as bad as things like Abu Ghraib or the Mahmudiyah rape/killings in Iraq (which came out via normal whistleblower channels, btw), leaked things in a way to put Afghani informants and sympathizers at bodily risk, I could probably go on.

I mean, there's a reason Snowden sought to differentiate his methods from Manning's, even if he had the same overall goal.
Sigh, its sad to see the technology stuff getting side swiped in the comments by ideological rhetoric.

Seriously. I mean, I'm personally very glad to see NSA-gate, &c getting discussed here, but the incessant sniping, relevant or not — hell, informed or not — is really starting to sour my experience of HN.
Our briefings on what to expect, and how a particular country might be different from the "American Median" comes from our in-country teams. I.E. People who were born there and have had to deal with American Companies.

You can certainly have variability around an average, but, it's also certainly the case that average norms for various countries can be (dramatically) different.

And, as one who has travelled quite a bit, I can tell you German Culture and (for instance) Hong Kong Culture, around things like queues/rules, are so different as to make your head spin. The meeting thing in Brazil is really true. And, if you come out to Silicon Valley, 90+% of engineering companies are fine with you wearing a T-Shirt. Strongly suspect that's not the ratio you would see in London. Culture is real.

I could believe it after an organizational death penalty, a post-mortem like the Stasi got, a new organization with believable independent oversight, and preferably real penalties for the people most responsible (powerful people, not scapegoats). I don't know exactly, but something along those lines. (The probability of this is infinitesimal, yes. But we're going to be offered some pittance, and it's worth thinking clearly in advance to tell how far it falls short.)

> You've got to see the irony in taking asylum in a country where the kinds of spying he blew the whistle on in the first place are brazenly displayed on public television

Screw irony. It seems people stop thinking when they find irony in a situation.

Does Snowden have better options? No. So he has no choice but accepting asylum in a non-free country, no matter how ironic it might result.
I use Firefox mainly and Chrome/IE for testing sometimes. Firefox has been pretty solid; however, one really annoying change in v22 is that it blows up the default zoom level. That makes websites look very big. They said it's honoring the DDP setting on Windows and for HiRes monitor, but it looks like a bug or a misguided feature. I really hope they revert the change. I'm tired of hitting ctrl-- to zoom out on every site.
There is one at /rss.xml, and a meta tag pointing there. That said, we've also got the podcast submitted to iTunes.

Could or could not depend upon the illiterate?

I ask only because I'm having trouble making sense of the whole comment under the assumption that we can bet on the illiterate to make a reasonable choice when there's no trouble finding people to repeal the Bill of Rights... :-/
Getting older often involves forgetting to update the age at which people would not have experienced things directly. Of course, it makes sense when those people are 15-18, but...jeez.
