Exactly how does an employer benefit from applicants showing up at the top of the list because the applicant paid for the top position - after the employer paid to post jobs and to receive applications?

On the applicant side, if you can buy top position when applying for jobs posted on LinkedIn, why can't you buy position in the "searched" database? Is that "less ethical?"

LinkedIn is "a little bit pregnant." I've got no issue with job hunters doing what they can to get an employer's attention, but when LinkedIn starts "transparently" selling positioning to job hunters while it's charging employers for access to those applicants... well, like Richard Tomkins said in my column, you start looking like Lance Armstrong.
Laws are essentially diffs against the US code. The diff (slip law) is canonical. They are continually compiled into the US code, which can involve deleting or changing text just like a diff, and periodically an edited, annotated code is published. After a certain amount of time, Congress enacts a portion of the published code, making it canonical and overriding any prior slip law.

The US Code is not the same as the laws of the US. It is a "current snapshot" of existing laws in force, and does not itself have legal weight unless explicitly granted by Congress.
Perl is actually far from abandoned and I would venture to guess (based on no facts and figures but my own personal experience) that there are more lines of Perl in production today than Python or Ruby combined.

But how can that be?! Building a large scale application with Perl would be like building a F111A Aardvark out of duct tape! Quite simply, because Perl is the perfect duct tape. Too many people (knowingly or not) think of Perl as a crappy version of Python when it's actually shell scripting on steroids.

You see, way up here, where projects are constantly in development, paradigms are constantly shifting, and people are building new and exciting things, Perl is an unwelcome high school acquaintance who shows up at the party and makes everybody feel awkward and bad. But way down there, where people are just trying to keep Sputnik up and running until the Soviet Union collapses, Perl is a rock star! If it's too "small" for Java but too "large" for .ksh -- guess what, use Perl.

In my opinion, if you want a scripting language with function signatures, little to no support for UNIX commands, real object orientation (Moose), yadda yadda yadda... just use Python. No one's going to blame you. Larry Wall's not gonna feel bad. You have a right to your impact gun and bolts.

Just leave my duct tape alone.

(1) conflates services and infrastructure, which is sloppy / oversimplified.

Google mostly gets from 1 to 5 by getting folks to use its services, not via its infrastructure directly. The infrastructure is primarily there to ensure that folks use the net more overall (and by extension, its services.)

That's not necessarily a bad thing: in return for a service you want to use, you're being shown ads targeted at you. To ensure you consume those services, they're made easy to access.

Funny you should mention Manning, given that those same people also "pronounced" that Manning had 'aided the enemy' by helping AQ. Yet Manning was found not guilty of that very charge, and in a courtroom where the law really is stacked against the defendant, compared to civilian justice systems.

Instead, what the President, Congressmen, etc. think about Snowden is opinion at this point, nothing more, just like the Commander-in-Chief himself wasn't able to direct a guilty verdict for Manning's aiding the enemy charge.
I'm sorry. Authy is trying to push something that NEVER should have been a "startup". How the fuck is this a service ANYONE is going to pay for when it's trivial to set up an OTOP server and use the Google Auth app that everyone who uses TFA is already going to have installed.

This monkey patched TFA solution is not "the future" of logins, by a long shot. Not even in the short term. Things like Persona are going to beat Authy before Authy ever sees a non-negligible amount of revenue.

At least Coinbase doesn't FORCE me to use them anymore.

Off the top of my head, I see screencasts that are available elsewhere. They are merely aggregating, which is great - in a world filled with app stores and iTunes, discovery of a given horizontal should be more than a Google search or a retweet.
Absolutely, I'm going through some of my code now where I had thought of the first improvement as obvious but hadn't considered that second, much nicer solution in Go. It really is like making a custom Maybe type. It might be another pattern to be improved on to have tons of these sorts of custom types running around, though...
My complaints involve their mission, their rules, their equipment, and their techniques. None of which are exacerbated by unionization.

> As you just said, increased security is from taking pointers away, which is completely orthogonal to GC.

That's not what he said. Removing pointer arithmetic [1] is part of getting memory safety, but not the entire story. Avoiding dangling references is another part of memory safety, and GC is one way to accomplish that; it's not orthogonal.

[1] You cannot actually eliminate pointers entirely; you can disguise them, but if you want a dynamic heap and not just static memory, you need to be able to reference memory within the heap. When people talk about eliminating pointers, they generally mean unsafe C-style pointers.

As far as I can tell their trademark seems pretty specific that it applies to game apps only: http://tess2.uspto.gov/bin/showfield?f=doc&state=4806:p9i0qr... . Is there a case to be made that BWF would somehow cause confusion?
I think my point is that: There is no doubt people have been groped or treated what they think is unfairly. Something like that happening is an emotional issue, and therefore I think these things are blown out of proportion in relation to their actual number of occurrences. So while this does happen I don't think it happens as much as you'd like it to believe statistically speaking. This type of harassment being a normal across the board policy of the TSA is what I take issue with because I don't believe it to be true.

Your points are excellent. And even if we all do have nothing to hide, an agency of the government that decides on its own to break the 4th and 1st amendments, and reinterpret the law practically out of existence, in secret, and lies about it to Congress in its oversight capacity, is A Bad Thing(tm).

Public Wifi is near-universally terrible. Take WWDC this year. On the wired download stations you could get 300-600 MBit downloads. On WiFi you were lucky to connect at all. Heck, my experience is that wherever WiFi is available, 3G is usually both more reliable and faster.

At home, living alternatively in Japan and Sweden with 100 MBps connections in apartment buildings (=everyone has their own WiFi access point trying to squeeze in 100 MBit/s of BitTorrent uploads), WiFi is a continual pain in the butt and is often hampering my download speeds.

Skynet right?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm under the impression the JVM has a stop the world GC and uses this by default (although it does have other GCs available). I'm also under the impression that V8 and the Erlang VM, as well as the stock VMs for Ruby and Python, etc at least stop execution during the mark phase! Go has a fairly basic GC and stops execution to do its housekeeping.

Yes, it's easier to write safe applications in a managed language, but it comes at a performance price due to the GC.

It's far easier to write an app in C++ that performs well. There's no overhead of a virtual machine (there goes the safety...) and manual memory management tends to also yield better results in terms of footprint and CPU time when done properly. C++ gives you the tools to implement a fast process with a small memory footprint; managed languages do not unless they're using a null GC! C++ also gives you the tools tools to write a sloppy heap of shit, but then again, Java affords such a facility too!!

Garbage collection simply isn't free. Maintaining the lie that a system has infinite memory comes with a price.

I'm not making the point that GC is evil, and I write code in managed languages frequently, but I am making the point that it's really only appropriate for situations in which you're paying for the hardware, and using a managed language makes good business sense.

NSA headman: 'Don't worry, our watchful analysts TAKE EXAMS'
Unfortunately for us iDevice users, invisible background tasks like that are a no-go. Apple simply won't let you ship an app that sits around and invisibly logs you in like that.

Fortunately, iOS itself is smart enough to notice when your network has a login page like that, and will display that page on-screen automatically so you can click through it. Not as smooth as that Android app (which I'm now jealous of), but at least things don't invisibly fail until you figure out what's going on.
Well, we know what happens when they're "caught" - they're put in Guantanamo forever.

Ask HN: What are some good, secure, shared filesystems?
I would like to set up a shared filesystem so that multiple EC2 machines in a cluster can share files. Requirements:

- Files should be encrypted at rest

- Relatively easy to install

Bonus:

- Failover and replication for HA

Currently we have an NFS mount on an EBS volume that is encrypted using cryptsetup

It seems like everyone's been attacking the wrong folks. From this article it appears that bulk of the data is being tapped at the data center level and then parsed. This begs the question how it would be able to make sense of https traffic.
Loss of strong typing and runtime type detection is what makes me sad.

Well, Go 1 has some of the problems of Java 1: no generics, typecasts from interface{} here and there, simplistic GC.
Reasons are probably similar: this all is good enough for version 1, and can later be improved upon.

I love old books, and was amusing myself by reading a geology text from around 1880. It was my first exposure to that science. It amused as I started that I might end up with a good education, a hundred years out of date. As I continued I came to suspect that geology hasn't really changed all that much.

As much as I'd like ~50 year copyright on all classes of works, the good news is that those 1880s texts really are very good. (See also the telegraphy love story that just came across HN.)
I'm not sure where you're looking, but you'd need to be insane to pay $50k for a 150. Have a look on controller.com and you'll see prices range from about $15k to 30k. You can buy a perfectly safe and flyable 150 with a high-time engine for $15k.

As for accident data: I think the EAA statistic is misleading. I believe they are looking at total number of accidents. However amateur-built planes comprise only 10% of the GA fleet, and their fatal accident rate is 3-4 times that of the rest of the GA fleet per flight hour:

Assuming the attacker has complete control over your computer...

... the end user just lost, absent substantially more defense-in-depth on the provider side than just using TFA. TFA mostly helps you against "We lost credentials or a low-privilege session, let's prevent that from escalating to a high-privilege session." If your device is rooted, you'll eventually cough up a high-privilege session, either by passive monitoring or by something more clever like e.g. using your own computer as the MITM to ask you to provide a valid TFA to do something which really only requires a low-privilege session. Now the attacker has both factors. Game set match.
I agree. My favorite is Philz, but even compared to that I would say Starbucks is at least 90% good. I would even go further to say that their Americano is sometimes better than a lot of what those hipster-famous coffee shops serve (but it's subjective because i don't like tangy flavor)

I'm not sure what you mean when you say network applications that provide at least adequate performance. Aren't Java web-servers at the very top of every performance test? Isn't Java the #1 choice for low-latency high-frequency-trading applications? Aren't HBase, Hadoop and Storm running on the JVM?

The whole point of java.nio introduced over 10 years ago, back in Java 1.4, is robust zero-copy networking (with direct byte-buffers). Higher-level networking frameworks, like the very popular Netty, are based on NIO (although, truth be told, up until the last version of Netty, there was quite a bit of copying going on in there), and Netty is at the very top of high-performance networking frameworks in any language or environment.
Still, that's appetite, not hunger.

I've also known PHP, i'm mostly in Asp.Net MVC now (it's .Net)

But if you're starting from scratch and aren't using windows, i'd advice ruby on rails.

If you're using windows, choose between Rails 3.2 with Ruby 1.9.2 (bug with Ruby 2.0 on windows :( ) or Asp.Net MVC.

.Net will cost you something to, but just enroll as a startup (BizSpark) to get yourself going.

If you're going to Ruby On Rails, you should consider using Linux and Git all the time for deployment and compatibility though... But it works :-)

Google is actually quite diligent in this regard and have caught CAs with their pants down in the past.

They're taking it a step further and using certificate pinning in Chrome to catch MITM attacks in real time across a large portion of the internet. http://blog.chromium.org/2011/06/new-chromium-security-featu...

It's not scalable at all, but cuts out a large attack vector for a lot of communications. It wouldn't take a ton of pinned certificates to make a big dent in these NSA programs--really just look at the logos and make sure that each has their certificates pinned.
I think Twitter ads are a great place to start. You can get setup with the in under 30 min. You can start with a very low budget. You can start seeing results as early as tomorrow.

To give you an idea, for http://www.BromBone.com we target the followers of just one account. The people who follow this account are very likely to find our service useful. Overtime we will expand to other accounts. We spend just $5 per day, and that will bring us about 20-25 visitors per day, plus a new follower or a retweet every once and a while. Our ads started running within 24 hours of setting up our account.

This probably won't scale well enough to get all the customer you need, but it can give you a starting point. It can allow you to collect some potential customers email addresses so that you can talk to them and figure out what they need. Or maybe no one signs up at all. In that case you need to make some bigger changes.
The funny thing is that a lot of law is structured like definitions, the actual law, then consequences. Any of those three can change independently, and change the meaning of the law. So diffs are often not as useful as you wish.
Using words like "sane" and "cryptic" and "incantations" doesn't really seem to fit an argument in good faith, but assuming you're sincere, I can explain.

Perl uses sigils for two reasons. First, to provide a separate namespace for variables and language keywords. Second, to allow amount contexts.

Reasonable people will disagree about the value of both of those reasons, but those are the reasons why sigils exist in Perl.

> I also want to point out that my reading of the quote you provide does not suggest flip-flopping. I'm neither ignorant of nor ignoring the quote, but I take it to mean that "An ISP[...] shall not block ACCESS TO lawful content [...]". Certainly this is an understandable interpretation, especially considering the events that lead up to the net neutrality debates in the first place.

I'm not sure how your rewriting (particularly, inserting the additional words "ACCESS TO") is imagined to make what Google is doing anything more inconsistent with the order, or how it is consistent with the order itself [1] (e.g., Paragraphs 65, referring to the language you are modifying/"interpreting"):

"We also note that the rule entitles end users to both connect and use any lawful device of their choice, provided such device does not harm the network."

A server appliance is a lawful device.

Speaking of Unity, while much of the game specific code is written in C#. As far as CPU time, the vast majority of execution is spent in C++ code.

Similarly on the Web, there is more Javascript code that runs in the browser than browser code. But most of the CPU time is spent in Browser C++.

I wouldn't be too surprised if Google analyzed their traffic and discovered that a lot of people were getting frustrated while logged into Google properties due to slow, crappy connections in Starbuckses, and decided to solve that problem once and for all.

Starbucks is, from Google's perspective, a major ISP with somewhat poor service that's very concentrated geographically. That last part means it's very cheap to just swoop in and spend the money to solve the problem definitively.

I have no idea if this is actually the case, but it wouldn't surprise me if Google has decided that they're losing $BIGNUM from bad connections at Starbucks, and that it'll only cost $BIGNUM/2 to solve it with brute force.
Last time I was interested for big games it was - C++ engine and above it Lua or C# scripting for majority of AAA titles.
FWIW

The Atlantic covered this story much better (http://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2013/07/the-ho...) and their coverage included two additional charts. One corresponds to your criticism of adjusting for titles vs versions. In that chart, the drop off in the mid 20th century is still evident but not as extreme. In the second chart, they account for differences in the number of books published per decade using third party sources. In that version, the divergance is actually much worse.

I don't think there were any responses to your criticism of the categories.
