Err, you don't get to the top chair of the west by NOT being psychopath in some degree.

You think people fuck their promises, move ahead as nothing happened, overpass the wild dogs in Washington and get to the White House by being boy scouts?

At first I was really excited when I saw this post. Then it almost depressed me. To quantify my life based on how "productive" I am at working. I'd prefer to have the reverse, to quantify my leisure at the minute-ly level. Imagine looking at these charts when you're on your death bed. Will you regret that you didn't work as hard as you could have? I don't think I will. Of all the "what I regret most about life" posts I've seen on the internet, I've yet to see someone say "I wish I spent more time working".

I think you will find the current (4.0) oOo 'good enough'. The differences between oOo 4.0 and LO 4.1 seem to be minor but noticeable. I used oOo for years through the 2.x and 3.0x incarnations and produced a lot of work with it.
Charge whatever you can get away with. Set a number and show willingness to walk away.

I used to do cloud consulting from an LLC after doing client-facing enterprise AWS consulting.

Consulting experience TLDR braindump:

* Enterprise shops look down on people that don't charge enough.
* Some shops feel entitled to get a bunch of stuff for free. Hold your ground and explain you have bills to pay and can't set a new precedent. Your time is valuable.
* Free assessments are an easy way to determine how much crap and hand-holding you'll have to deal with. It'll also let you show you know what you're talking about and be able to
* Research solutions before raising proposals. Anything you raise will basically be put on you to support.
* Raise prices every year or two. It'll be less of a surprise if it's a fairly regular thing and it's mentioned ahead of time.
* Work on- vs. off-site has +s and -s.
* Work with fun clients that pay on-time and don't do hourly. Hourly is for noobs that take too long. Milestone-based at the same comfortable hourly rate puts the onus on you to always deliver.
* Getting a % of the milestone upfront for a good faith deposit.
* Don't do Net 30 or + ever... Collecting will be a hassle. Net 10 -2%, 15
* Master agreement
* Put milestones in writing to be clear. (Contracts are only as good as the relationships on which they are written.)
* Engage with the highest ranking person you can, and you'll more or less own the place. (Just don't get too cocky, instant hubris.)

I only see the one double negative, even.
may be to your mind GNU/GPL is also "technically open source, but not what most have in mind."
Licenses that enforce open source to spread are to my mind more in the open source spirit than MIT or Apache2.0

You think that people understand open source as free (as free to re-use)?
I don't believe so, there are many open source licences for these reasons, depending on the willingness of the authors.

I totally agree with you that it's an enormously complex system, but I wonder how risky a tiny bit of experimentation would be. Maybe it's worth upping everything by 1 dollar just to see? That would make a huge difference to profits. But maybe the hip customer base would notice the change and see it as a signal that their eatery has become bourgeois?

> How do you ever make a credit card transaction online without giving up your name and address?

And this is one of the many things wrong with credit card transactions. A seller shouldn't need my address; it needs my money. In the Netherlands we have a system called iDEAL, where, when you want to pay for a product online, you get redirected to a page of your bank and confirm the transaction. All the seller gets is a confirmation you paid (and of course a wad of cash in his account) - no private information shared.

Unless you're having a product delivered. But even those can be delivered to a pickup station nearby nowadays.

I'll try that next time, must admit I really have to overcome some inner resistance.
I've been thinking to try "project based pay" again for that reason (fixed price for delivery/milestones), but that is of course fraught with other problems. Most importantly the dependence on other people that can delay execution and therefore also payment. And of course the difficulty of making good estimates.
So all we need to do is change our password every day or so? As long as it is faster than the bureaucracy?
Once you start applying compression to your signals, as we do with many of our radio signals nowadays, that possibility goes away.

There are few techniques you could use that don't affect the visitor experience of your own.

- Detect referrer and return a script that has a warning

- Rotate your script filenames so those hotlinking will soon realise they will need to host it themselves

- Use a CDN yourself and don't encourage them to hotlink

- Slow down the request

For those hotlinking, consider:

- You can't trust the source of the code

- You can't trust that the code will always be there and it will load quickly

- You can't trust the contents of the code may change and break your application

If you want to be sinister to those hotlinking you could:

- Redirect the user (as others have noted)

- Display any message to the user

- Steal data from the user who is using the site hotlinking

- Inject your own adverts into the target web page

- Make the web page do the Harlem Shake

Some kind of automated solution to handle this would be nice. Think 1password with automated password changes daily.

How hard can it be? It can already log in by itself, now it just needs to know the page where you can change your password.
It seems many people here make the implicit assumption that once there's life, there will be a technological civilization.

We do know that microbial life did appear quite soon after the formation of the Earth, so we have some evidence that life can bootstrap itself readily given a favorable environment. However, we also know that life then spent the next three billion years quite content at being unicellular, until the Cambrian Explosion made lots of things happen very quickly (at least on the astronomical timescale). We don't really have much ideas about why the CE happened, and how inevitable it was to happen at some point at least by sheer probability. I believe the shift from unicellular to multicellular life was the most fine-toothed of the Great Filters we've already passed - let us hope there won't be even stricter ones in our future. Given the number of ways it appears a technological civilization could snuff itself out of existence in an eyeblink, I'm not very optimistic.

Nope. AGPLv3 is very different from GPLv2. Also the wishes of the creators of Linux and git make the GPLv2 more comfortable to me. Companies that have a dual-licensing model with GPLv2 and a paid proprietary license may try to stretch the meaning of the GPLv2 to make it more restrictive.

The problem with oauth.io is I could spend time learning it to use it on a personal project and then not be able to apply the same knowldege on a client project where the client doesn't find the copyleft situation acceptable.

First-world problem? Sure. It's pretty hard to not laugh at the image of the surely brilliant Stanford engineer doing laundry for hipsters in the bay area burbs instead of out curing cancer.

But, think about what happens if this actually works out. Think about the amount of time that will be returned to people, at scale. Think about the amount of capital that will be freed up. Think about the amount of resources that will be more efficiently allocated. Having a washing machine in every household, if you step back, seems more than a little wasteful. Imagine giant uber-laundromats, akin to Amazon's fullfillment centers, that squeeze the last bit of efficiency out of the problem of ingesting dirty clothing on one end and spitting out freshly pressed, super-clean items on the other, and the logistics therein.

It's only a first-world problem because it costs $25 a load, which is absurdly expensive for most families. But what if it were $2.50? $0.25? Free if you watch an ad on your TV? Then it becomes truly disruptive.

Forces?

Angular is pretty cool, but it's hardly the only neat way of seperating and offloading view detail work.

And jQuery is just a (much) nicer-than-native DOM/browser API. It doesn't provide an application architecture or data bound view handling layer because that's not what it's for, and it no more forces an application style than your text editor does.

This isn't to say that Angular isn't nice for projects short of Gmail's scale (I would/am considering it for some small scale stuff), it just doesn't make much sense to say jQuery forces people a direction by not providing features that aren't really part of its purpose.

We really need to systematically implement in our login systems what many ssh access does when you login : "Hello <username>. Your last login was at <time> from <ip>".

It won't solve the problem, but it'll certainly help a bit.

EDIT after a few comments :

This will not make it impossible to steal identity. But this will cost us almost nothing and imply high cost for spooks : if you have a user password, you can use it on many website, for common users, without the related company even knowing it. If you implement last login timestamp, it's something you can do within hours, without any need for heavy architectural changes, and it will cost a lot to spooks to try to fake it on every websites, for a large amount of users.

Cheap to us, costly to them. That's the way to go for me.
1Password doesn't store your passwords, it generates them on the fly. You would need to hand over your encrypted password storage and your passphrase. Both of which 1Password has no control over.
Very very lucky. All they had to do was:

document.location = '...'

and route the page to a java drive-by which redirects back afterwards and most of their visitors would've been infected. They are incredibly lucky that the owner of that script was nice enough just to add a simple banner.

From NSA to prosecuting reporters for...well...reporting, it is quite clear that one Obama ran for office and a different one actually took office. They are trying to get rid of all the evidence of the many misrepresentations he made in order to get elected, probably so that the next round of Democrats running for office aren't also seen as liars and hypocrites.

That's not entirely correct.

1Password is a local, encrypted store of known passwords. Nothing is generated, except for the original passphrases themselves, which are completely random (not from a seed).
They could always modify that as well.
There were two inventions in particular that contributed to the empowerment of women: refrigerators and washing machines.

The former made it so that women no longer had to go to the market once per day. Instead, they could do one week's worth of shopping and store everything in the fridge.

The washing machine made it so that they no longer had to spend hours everyday washing clothes.

With all this free time, they could now start working outside the home. So they joined the workforce.

Bottom line: Do not be so quick to dismiss an idea. Things are often more complicated than they seem on the surface and can make a much bigger impact than you think.
We used to call these little economic downturns "corrections" and I think the term still applies here. 6-7 years ago, people with marginally skilled "entry level" office jobs were overpaid.
Aren't most passwords 1-way hashed? Seems like this is only going to give them access to low-level passwords.

The main issue is; scraping is hard and breaks at the drop of a hat. Sure you could script hourly password changes if you wanted to, but as soon as the host service modifies their forms a little, the whole system breaks and you could possibly be locked out of your account.

Hybrid: Code Editor + WYSIWYG Drag and Drop
It fascinates me to think about what this will mean to science fiction. There's obviously lots of sci fi that assumes lots of planets out there, but just like actually going to the moon means sci fi depictions of the moon "had to" align with what they actually found and it altered depictions of space ships and suits (and caused endless crappy attempts at trying to capture "low gravity"), it will increasingly "have" to deal with actual facts about what's out there.
I have been experimenting along these lines, by making a scripting interface to Linux that lets you do the basic stuff that you need to bring up a VM/container/hardware [1], This includes bringing up networks, configuring addresses and routing. There is a lot to do (still need iptables), but you end up with a script over Linux that configures it, using a scripting language and ffi, which you can compile into a single binary and eg run as your init process. Linux is a pretty decent API if you wrap some scripting around it rather than a lot of C libraries and shell scripts.

You do not of course end up with a standardised interface from this, as it is dependent on the Linux environment you are running in (although a VM can standardise this). So I am also experimenting with userspace OS components, like the NetBSD rump kernel [2] in the same framework.

Also helping here is the shift (gradually) from applications (like web servers) to libraries that you can link in to your application, or full scripting inside (like openresty for Nginx), which addresses your bundling issue. If you are building single function applications that are then structured into larger distributed applications this is much simpler.

There's something seriously wrong with the entire political system when every single person here is like 'well yeah, he's a politician'.

“Those who seek power are not worthy of that power.”
Let's take that one step further. The October 2012 Obama and the January 2013 Obama were apparently entirely different people. In fact he didn't just change - during the 2012 campaign, he actively lied. He made statements about how transparent his government is and how he is all about protecting our rights etc., while presiding over programs in direct conflict with those statements.
Well, in the context of a specific targeting, certainly. I have no problem with that.

What is a problem is mass surveillance. A simple measure like that could make it very costly to achieve mass operations.

EDIT : also, please note that the problem with password is that once you get one, for common people, you can hope they used it on many other sites. This allow feds to access website without the company even knowing it. If you have to fake login timestamp, all related companies must be aware of your action.
It sounds like you've probably read The Simulation Argument, but for those who haven't: http://www.simulation-argument.com/

Google already does this with GMail. Scroll down to the bottom and it's in the lower right corner.

Facebook also provides access to all recent/active sessions and their last accessed time under Settings -> Security. They've got all kinds of other good security features that are worth enabling too.

I suspect a better long-term approach here is going to be something like Mozilla Persona (with the option of easily using your own domain for auth & auth if you like). Then the service doesn't have your password. They could still give the Feds access to your data, but at least the Feds won't be able to leverage your password against other services (greater adoption of password managers would also help this scenario).

And of course, enable two-factor auth on any site that supports it.
So really what we need is some kind of API design that allows for password changes that all websites should adopt. Of course that's never going to happen...

Still, if 1password made scraping work for the biggest sites out there (google, microsoft, etc) then that in itself would already be worthwhile.
