Not that hard. Potential outcomes are as follows:

1. Company/Candidate are a great match for each other, everyone is happy. Both sides potentially willing to pay, though side with greater demand should carry financial burden.

2. Candidate is not the best fit, but wants Company's attention badly. Candidate is willing to pay.

3. Company is not the best employer for the candidates they want, but are willing to pay for access to those candidates anyway.

You want a system that monetizes the transaction of outcome 1, but does not try to facilitate transactions of type 2 and 3. Instead, the system should try to ‘coach up’ the participants in the later two transaction types and turn them into outcome 1 players.

Monetizing transactions 2 and 3, as this article points out that LinkedIn is doing, ultimately alienates everyone in the system, and strains the systems ability to complete successful outcome 1 transactions.

One may be able to monetize this ‘coaching up’ - an education focused, market information type of transaction - but when you monetize an outcome that is specifically harmful to half of your marketplace, you’re doing nothing but asking for trouble in the long run.

Really, this article is silly. SSL keys will remain useful for authentication. If you want to make sure nobody's got the master key, just do a double-Diffie-Hellman and you're square...provided the person snooping on the master key isn't trying to use it to MITM you. That's a whole other bear entirely, though.
What happens when products are loaded with JS after the initial load? For example, maybe the user presses a "Load More" button, or the site uses infinite scrolling, etc. Do you guys handle that in any way? I'm not trying to trash your product, I'm just genuinely curious.
A note of interest: Apple told us we had to remove our Android lessons from the app for it to be allowed in the App Store: http://tech.co/treehouse-ipad-app-2013-07

I teach Android and iOS at Treehouse, and I was shocked to find out about this! As disappointing as it is, we are still excited to offer students this app for everything else, and are hopeful that Apple will change their stance on this. As a side note, if we release an Android version of this app, we will take the high road and include the iOS content! :-p
The point is to make the hardware itself feasible to verify. There are ways to do this arbitrarily well. Traditional HSMs are a very bad choice for "interesting" users for exactly this reason -- look what Crypto AG did to the Iranian Government and others, and other vs proofed commercial devices.
I wonder how much work it would be to actually integrate DI/module system and RequireJS.
Asia Is Getting LinkedIn, But Not Everywhere
This can't be real. I want to hear the other side of the story.
That's objectively false - Google, Microsoft, Yahoo, and Facebook (among others) have all been at pains to distance themselves from NSA data collection precisely because they understand how bad the NSA's behavior is for their business.
I believe they did have proof that some Asians don't have the gene which helps break down alcohol, and those that had that gene were at a higher risk of cancer if they drank alcohol. No, I guess it isn't definitive proof though. Still, Russia is on the Asian continent, so this theory holds water.
From what I've read, even with criminal charges it's unlikely that Steven Cohen or anyone else involved will serve jail time.

Here in Colorado an electronics recycler sent their recyclables to China instead of actually recycling and the CEO got 30 months in prison.

I continue to be shocked that bankers and investors get away with fines and a slap on the wrist. I'm not aware of any that have served prison time since the recession started.

Even in the US, financing for phones is becoming more unfashionable with time. Prepaid plans and bring-your-own-phone is now on most if not all major carriers. Google is selling their Nexus phones directly rather than carrier subsidy. People are starting to wise up to the fact that financing is unsustainable.

From their site: "We welcome walk-ins on a first-come, first-served basis and set aside about a third of our seats for those guests every night, including our chef’s counter and several tables in the dining room. "
I didn't know that! I used to be a member of FidoNet (pre-internet network that provided e-mail and usenet-like services) back in 1990s and any commercial activity and encryption was similarly prohibited - relay operators were even supposed to read their users' mail and delete any messages that violated the rules.

I don't think there's any chance of this coming to the internet though. There are just too much uses for encryption besides conspiring for terrorist attacks.

We have 3 servers in the KS series:

KS-2G ATOM powered with 2G of RAM, 500GB, 100Mbps 2.99e/mois.

KS-4G 4GB of RAM, 2x500GB software raid 9.99e/mois

KS-16G Core i5 with 16G, VT and 2x1TB 19.99e/mois

3 euros is $4 USD and 20 euros is $26.50 USD

They are also on the UK site:

http://www.ovh.co.uk/dedicated_servers/kimsufi.xml

That $26.50 server is currently $40 in the US (CA)

http://www.ovh.com/us/dedicated-servers/kimsufi2.xml

The real deal here IMHO is the i5 for $26.50, that cpu can run laps around the atom and can run in "turbo" mode near 3.5ghz all day.
The markup must be available on the webpage when it loads, but we plan to have JSON endpoints in a very near future, so if the URL that we crawl returns json, we will use it instead of crawling the HTML. It will be documented soon.

It seems like a lot of these comments are missing the point by discussing virtues of various packaging systems and auto-start behaviors.

It seems to me that the author was saying that consistency is important - installed services are expected to have a consistent behavior on a given platform.

A lot of tooling is built based on this, because that behavior is defined by the respective systems.

When people force override of these behaviors, it does break things as well as cause frustration.

The article isn't a criticism of any one packaging system or autostart choice of a distribution, but rather of individual packagers who impose their own choices over those of the system they're packaging for.

The article doesn't state whether she had vehicles outside the home as well, and I wouldn't be surprised if they were hauled away and sold off as well.

I'm also curious about something else: If the bank claims that they aren't willing to compensate her based on the retail value of the items, were they repossessing the items based on the retail value? Surely they account for degraded value, so the bank would compensate based on the degraded value rather than full retail value.

Despite the catchy slogan, this isn't actually about defunding the entire NSA.
The thing is, Google and Facebook both produce something with actual value, be it content, or databases, or user data, or people's photos with their intrinsic value. Bitcoin is literally just numbers. It's not even pieces of paper. That's why it's better compared to virtual poker chips.

Also, the transaction fees for Bitcoin are surprisingly steep, especially if you want to convert it back to cash. You'll easily pay $30 per transaction for $1000 worth of BTC just to cash out.
Articles like this miss the main issue.

Privacy rights should not have to be enforced at the public key encryption level.

Before all the sensationalists start going wild, remember that the NSA almost got defunded very recently. That is where the real frontier of this debate should be.

At best, this episode exposes how vulnerable public key encryption is. But let's not go off the reservation.
I would like to hear Popehat's take.
>All of this goes to support Greenwald's thesis (given at the beginning and the end, so I'm not sure how you missed it) that the real warfare in Washington is between establishment authoritarians, and those who have become weary (and wary) of the unchecked national security state, not between Republicans and Democrats as is frequently portrayed in the media.

Even on your local computer, it's probably a good idea to avoid operating systems that may be compromised by default. Also be careful about installing extra software, including browser plug-ins and addons. I am preaching to the converted though.
She says she works in a shared developer space. She's also co-founding a site with an experienced developer. It's quite possible that one of these developers helped set up the back end.

How would this detract from the front end work that she's done and put on display? It's quite clear, at least to me, that her effort has been focused on the content of the 180 pages, rather than the back end work, which to my knowledge, she hasn't taken credit for.

And really? Is your ego that fragile that you're desperately struggling to discredit a random person on the Internet?
You're assuming restaurants look at it as a one-time transaction. But most good owners put a lot of focus on repeat, neighborhood customers, because those are the folks that will come in and dine on a Tuesday or Wednesday evening and help keep you afloat (Friday / Saturday will book out anyway if you're doing ok.) Bourdain said he used to put the interesting specials on weekdays, and save the easy / no-brainer stuff for weekends, partially for this reason.

What, Office?

There's a lot more than just Office.

I'm writing this on a Windows PC with several heavyweight software packages and plenty more lightweight tools installed, all commercial and legally purchased, that are not available on my obvious alternative platform (Linux).

However, I have little use for a heavyweight office suite. For example, most of the text-based documents I create are either plain text files or "serious" work created with more powerful tools than Word.

as a developer of an end-user application for a PC, you still have to very strongly consider writing for Windows whether you like it or not

You're begging the question. The point is that you can develop end-user applications on many other viable platforms today. Some of them, such as web apps, are also accessible from PCs. Others require different devices, but if my expected customer base already has those devices or would be willing to acquire them to use my software, that's not a problem for me.

There are obviously some advantages to writing a native application over, for example, trying to do everything in a web app. However, writing and maintaining native Windows applications is now so unpleasant compared to numerous other options -- almost entirely as a result of Microsoft's choices regarding APIs, installation/update mechanisms, and other system-level functionality -- that the path of least resistance is to use other platforms when you can and write natively for Windows only when you must. That's very bad news for Microsoft.

Services that are not employer-paid are always less ethically sound.

Why? Is it that individuals have fewer companies to choose from, and are more likely to check the entire list regardless of ordering? Is it that employers are the active participants (searching for potential employees vs individuals who just show up in searches instead of searching and applying to specific jobs)? Is it just that employers have more spare cash, so charging them doesn't annoy them as much?
I am plagued by the exact opposite of this. I hate providing step-by-step checklist/step-by-step guides that can follow multiple paths, yet am surrounded by people who are constantly asking for them so they can avoid needing to learn about how things actually work
It's probably legally the correct call to not criminalize this: they didn't have the intent to deprive her of her property without legal justification. Think really, really hard whether you actually want to read intent out of the elements of the crime of theft, because if you do, many routine business mishaps will be punishable by jail time.

She has a fairly straightforward remedy: hire a lawyer, send an "intent to sue" letter. They'll settle for somewhere between $25k and $50k, on the spot.

(n.b. While I don't have any special knowledge of the operations of this bank in particular, I think suing the bank or threatening it would actually make it easier for the bank. The firm which repo'd her property is likely a contractor of the bank, rather than it being actual bank employees. They probably have a) professional liability insurance and b) a contract with the bank which indemnifies the bank against losses caused by failures in professionalism. A lawsuit or the threat of one gets the ball moving on the risk minimization machinery where a conversation with a PR-oblivious bank manager does not. The conversation goes like this: Bank to contractor: "You just got us sued. Do you intend to fight this?" Contractor to insurance company: "Should we fight this?" Insurance company: "Are you kidding? You'll lose. You're authorized to offer up to $50k. If you need higher, we need to be in the room." Contractor to bank: "Uh we think we're good for $50k on this." Bank to customer: "So sorry about that, counselor. As a gesture of good will, we're prepared to offer $50k -- over twice the assessed value -- for immediate resolution of this, a release, and a non-disparagement agreement.")
raj rajaratnam?
This is a similar point to the one I was going to make.

A search engine input gives you a blank slate. Sometimes you have a nebulous idea of what you need to know but don't know how that fits into the source, so blank slate searching becomes clumsy and hit & miss. FAQs conversely give direction and clarification so can run the dual role of guiding and forming what the user is trying to search as well as being an end point or gateway to the actual knowledge they seek.

This kind of orientation can be valuable if the language of a site is heavily domain based.
What about people who have done the same task many times? I imagine that they would also be reluctant to follow it closely enough.

I would be interested to read the ones that supposedly violate the content guidelines or terms of service. Not to defend the cop or owner, but I'll bet this is the most level-headed and polite of the three.

Also, what is someone doing with synthetic marijuana AND hypodermic needles? That part just seems odd.

In any case, I think they both should have left well enough alone. Joseph wanted to change the way the place operated, Paul was having none of it, and that should have been that. Why people feel the need to escalate minor disputes like this to the police is beyond me.
I don't see how this is relevant to HN. It's simple: sue. For considerably more than $18k, to cover the cost of not having anything for the extended period of time during which the bank did not remedy the situation. If the stated facts are true, then the bank (more specifically: the legal entity that removed her possessions) doesn't have a leg to stand on.

It is not criminal, because a crime requires _mens rea_, or criminal intent. There was none here. But there is clear civil liability due to the law of torts.
i'm curious what kind tools are you using.
Golden Age of Paid Content
The private key is normally stored in a file containing both the private and public key.
Great site. I was able to research and find that Congresswoman Kyrsten Sinema, serving Arizona's 9th District was cosponsor of the Amash bill but voted against the amendment, stating that it "has an unintended consequence".

Her press release is full of wonderful contradictions and weasel words:

http://sinema.house.gov/index.cfm/press-releases?ID=b23deeab...

From:

“I have very real concerns about the federal government’s action and lack of transparency regarding the collection and retention of law-abiding Americans’ private information. "

Straight to:

"I believe that we must work toward less intrusive methods to ensure our security. The broad language we considered today could have limited the ability of our national security and law enforcement community to prevent the bombing plot against the New York subway system or to quickly respond to events like the Boston bombing."

Wrapping it all up with:

"There are other ways than the invasive collection of metadata to ensure the security of Americans while protecting our precious 4th Amendment rights.”

Ok... so there are other ways, gotcha.... but you don't vote for an amendment which would have forced the NSA into using / finding other ways. Cool.

Edit: I give her props for responding to my tweet though: https://twitter.com/fuzzywah/status/360441317609840642

"1. You are welcome to post pre-submission versions or the original submitted version of the manuscript on a personal blog, a collaborative wiki or a preprint server at any time (but not subsequent pre-accept versions that evolve due to the editorial process)."

http://www.nature.com/authors/policies/confidentiality.html

... But I can see how authors, anticipating a possible Nature publication, would choose to maximize "impact" by not jumping the gun.
Please forgive my rudimentary (and possible erroneous understanding. There are three things important to public-key encryption. The public key, the private key (together called the key pair) and a certificate. If I understand it the cert is just to give confidence that you have the correct public key. So the NSA having access to the cert is a non issue as everyone has access to same. That's its purpose in life. Also the public key is publicly available or the system wouldn't work. The only sensitive things are the private keys. Is this right so far? If I want to encrypt a message to someone I need to use that person's public key. I use the cert to make sure I have the right one. Now the message can only be decrypted with the private key. So how can the NSA decrypt such a message? They would need the private key. The ISP doesn't have it. Even if they have the private key don't they need a pass phrase to use it?

Not sure how the above applies to https or to ssh. Still, in both cases I don't think access to the cert breaks things. Indeed access to it and the public keys are essential to it working at all. (I guess one can operate without the cert too if you trust the source.)

It's actually quite neat the way it all works. It's definitely worth taking a look at!
That's only true in a pure eavesdropping scenario. The keys would still allow MITM attacks.
