You're soooo cute when you're upset about the government.

The government is us. It's not an external parasite. The majority of us want it and see use in it. Sucks to be you I guess.
Since compounding interest demonstrates geometric growth, areas of allocation that match the investment rate must go up in either risk or must go down in reward or a new form of efficiency must be found that was previously unattainable. In practice this leads to concentrated wealth being misallocated (high risk) or hemorrhaged (inflationary loss) or effectively applied to the growth of a new technology (successfully invested), probably in that order of likelihood.

It's more than just aperture, though. F/2 on a wide-angle lens like the iPhone won't give you the same impact as F/2 on a telephoto.

Most low-cost HD video cameras have severely compromised lenses, and professional cameras tend to have extremely expensive lenses. Red solved the problem by tapping into the Canon/Nikon lens base.
I find accusing Hyperloop critics of whining whilst Musk's out there accomplishing things really ironic under the circumstances. Musk has no intention of building this - he's just done a bunch of back-of-the-envelope calculations that he's using to take a dig at the people who are out there actually accomplishing something with California HSR. Sure, it may not be ideal, but they're actually doing something whereas Musk's just sniping at them whilst sneakily handwaving away all the difficult parts of the problem.
> Some people have also had very, very bad experiences with other people who dress or groom themselves in a specific way.

I've had very, very bad experiences with people who dress in suits. Indeed, the people who have had the most severe negative effects on my life have invariably worn suits. And I can't name many people I've had positive experiences with who ever wear suits.

Yet, somehow, I don't think that's what you had in mind when defending this nonsense.

The English thing is a total red herring. Language barriers prevented them for acknowledging and correcting the bug as quickly as they might have, but couldn't change the fact that the bugfinder compromised a non-consenting account to demonstrate it.

What you call a "technicality" I continue to call probably the most important term in the whole bug bounty.

Moreover, you ignored half my comment. The point isn't that they had the ability not to pay; it's that they probably have a legal requirement not to pay.

Meanwhile: could you please acknowledge that when I pointed out that the Facebook security team does good work, your immediate response was to snark that they were pencil pushers? Your followup pretends you never said that, but you obviously did.
Wrong? Sometimes. Trendy? All of the time.
this is cute, but it's not going to help against the kind of things we've seen from the nsa recently. the analysis there (and the stuff from palantir etc) is simply looking for a positive signal - a single connection. the kinds of algorithms used (graph based) don't normalise by the total number of connections (it's not statistical, it's structural). so having a bunch of "normal" stuff won't change anything.
Not really, since the term you are referencing is not used in the UK.

Never do that. When firing someone in an at-will state, just do it and explain nothing. Explanations can easily lead to lawsuits. It's just not worth the risk.

Yeah, it's to where if I get a whiff of dishonesty, I start submitting resumes. This is my third job since April and I've already started looking for the fourth.

Well, you can negotiate to not take the job... I don't see why a company can't hold its ground on salary if it chooses to rule out anyone wishing to get a bit more.

Let me offer an anecdote too. I am of Indian origin. I lived in the country for 7 years; I speak multiple Indian languages quite well too. I was there recently. There are several distinctions between the two countries.

1. Things get more real there. You don't get good grades, your life is going to suck with high probability. In America, you can wank off trying to navel gaze whilst doing your degree in some bullshit and then eventually can be comfortable living your life working in a coffee shop. In India, the people who work at coffeeshops have shitty lives.

2. I agree on your perception of Indians vs. Americans on interpersonal relations. Indians have no concept of personal space. I was traveling alone in the Himalayas. I got tired of the questions that started off with casual strangers asking me "Do you have no friends?" to army men asking me suspiciously why I was traveling alone. (To add on to the shit is more real there; if I had a name of the wrong religion, that would have been a dangerous issue.) In America, people create these shells of beautiful people. Everyone is happy, white shining teeth and shining gadgets. Depression and mental issues covered up. Take a pill; go to the therapist is the solution to everything here.

3. People in the U.S. have a sense of community. A simple fucking thing like littering is a big deal. In India, forget about the fact that the government mandated litter bins exist all over the place, no one wants to take the effort to put a piece of plastic in the damn bin. Again, with high probability.

Finally, to get to the subject of the OP. I met a lot of American girls (and guys) whilst traveling there. I was shocked that fucking Delhi, the capital of one of the largest countries in the world, was where most of them reported being harassed. From the innocuous "Are your freckles a sign of skin cancer" to "Hey, you are white, would you like to get raped.". This behavior is revulsive. Yes, it should be brought up to light.
In most cases I agree with you. In this case though, the speed penalty could have been an argument not to use contracts.ruby...and I wanted to avoid that :)
Indian gay men will often ask foreigners for sex - it happened to me a number of times. I wasn't particularly disturbed when it happened, but I was curious why it happened so much to me.

I asked a couple of the guys who approached me and I got two answers. One is that I'm about a foot taller and more muscular than the vast majority of indian men, i.e. I'm pretty hot. The other is that if they approach an Indian, he might know people in their community which would result in their family finding out they are gay.
I like using this for ajax file uploads. For example, in a photo gallery with thumbnails already occupying the client area then it's a convenient place to indicate upload progress from a drag + drop without placing a temp element in the grid or overlaying some other element with progress info. I'm not sure how well it solves the problem (usually I'm just interested in general file progress and not a specific percentage) but it does give a good indication of progress in a convenient location.
The thumb drives would all have been cloned when first confiscated, which is why the 9 hour detainment was unnecessary and likely intimidation.

This has bad implications for democracy and Wikipedia.
The issue of women's safety in India has come up several times, and here's how I look at it.
India is a very lawless country, and has always been so, and women have historically lived in seclusion. It's rare for women to walk around in lowly bazaars unescorted. It's certainly not something foreign women should do while in India. A good thumb rule for the safety of a particular location is to look for the presence of large numbers of Indian women. In India, there exists a large population of criminal and vagrant men, who would not think twice before perpetrating some monstrous deed on an innocent woman.
Ease of use. Which is not the same thing as simplicity.

They can, its just the cheap HD cameras had tiny sensors. The smaller the sensor, deeper the depth of field (therefore less blurry)

The canon 5d mkii has a bigger sensor that the RED one, and therefore is capable of blurry DoF.

http://www.bobatkins.com/photography/tutorials/crop_sensor_c...
"35mm film was still far better in terms of image quality(assuming decent DoP and film lab)."

After following RED for a while and many other (digital) cameras, I came to that same conclusion. But if anyone is to match it ever, I guess it would be someone like RED?

I don't really know what it will take to capture the magic of film, ie if they had all of the dynamic range in the world, all of the color detail, etc... would it still not match what silver halide captures? Even the Foveon sensor for still photos isn't really there yet, despite looking better (in my opinion) than Bayer.

The personal feeling for me is that watching something shot digitally feels like it's just 1 step away from a DV cam, but something shot on film is like "wow they really put effort into this to give it a proper movie feel". I'm saying this with regards to lower-budget movies. And then on other side of the coin, shooting motion-film seems to be much more expensive for anyone starting out, so it's a no brainer to use digital. ><
Agreed. I work with, hire, and work with companies that hire many Indian contractors and out sourcing companies. Even the cafeteria where I work just added an Indian food area which always has a huge line. Discussions about outsourcing success or failure and which country to go with are very common.

I also encounter a lot of Indians in business development positions, so you are more often to encounter them when going around talking to other companies than you would just going around your office. I've also read articles that Indians in general are much more widespread in companies than say Asians, who often stick to their own companies, and are steadily moving up the ranks. So you're probably more likely to have an Indian boss or C-level at some point than say an Asian one.

I don't know if I picked up anything useful from the article, being male, but some of the replies have been interesting, like the discussion about the lack of space in the cities and Indians being honest in general about crowding around something interesting, etc.. Might have a useful input or two into how I interact with my Indian peers in the tech sector.
They could keep him longer if they were able to decrypt, assuming it was gov files.
I think if we shook things around and looked at the PommeDeTerre's explanation another way, it'd come out like this:

> People who are dressed in a suit represent the existing power structures; lots of people like said power structures; people with suits represent some sort of alignment with power structures and can resonate as an authority and conformer to the way things are.

I want to clearly distance myself from this statement, but I recognize that it (or some variant of it) is adhered to by many people.
Losing Our Childhood To LinkedIn
My take was that once you strip away all the unicorn and ice cream BS, there's little magic that prevents a startup from being based on the same values that drive the largest companies. Bad leadership and greed tend to have the same result, whether in SF, Chicago, or St. Louis.
One of the more frustrating things about working in the Bay Area is having to deal with finicky personalities like the OP's boss & CEO. It really takes a psychopath to court a potential hire so hard and then fire them 5 weeks later due to their appearance (after they sign a couple of large customers, btw).

If this were NYC, I could understand stabbing someone in the back after they secure a couple of large customers. Though, in the Bay Area, it's like being stabbed in the back by a meth addict; sometimes it makes sense, most of the time it doesn't.

I don't think* this case gives any basis for a site to take legal action against someone just based on downloading a large number of web pages or accessing the site with different IP addresses. There has to be quite a bit more than that. I don't think the headline of the article really gets across all of the factors that had to be present for this ruling to go the way it did (but the body of the article does a better job of that).

I thought RED was an alright movie at best. To be quite honest, I am surprised they made a sequel.
Red jumpstarted the new age of digital cameras with 4K RAW at an amazing price. They have had missteps (witness Scarlet and the late / but in the field Dragon).

It is a shame Canon really hasn't learned the RAW lesson and has been dragged by people (e.g. Magic Lantern). It is a crime for any camera to deliver less than its best because of crap codecs / software. Red had software upgrades that improved already shipping products without charging an upgrade fee. Canon barely learned with the 24p for the 5Dmk2.

Their back and forth with people making movies is pretty refreshing when you think about some other camera companies.

The adjective "lazy" only makes sense as a part of a specified context - there needs to be some agreed upon "work" or "use of energy" that the alleged lazy person is neglecting, or some shared purpose. This conversation is a non-starter because you assume these foreign-language speakers are operating under the same context as you.

It's kind of like if I called you lazy for not going to the store and buying me a case of beer every week. EDIT: OK not exactly, but you get the point... demanding large life changes from others because you claim there is a benefit. This is the epitome of egotistical exuberance.
The article does mention she covered up. Maybe just as much as an Indian women would generally, though, and not as far as that? That said, Indian women do seem to generally where long dresses that cover everything, compared to here in Cali where we are flooded with short shorts. There was even an article recently about panties on mannequins being against the law in some cities because it offends sensibilities.

The English thing is a total red herring.

Perhaps we see things differently here, so lets just agree to disagree.

Meanwhile: could you please acknowledge that when I pointed out that the Facebook security team does good work, your immediate response was to snark that they were pencil pushers? Your followup pretends you never said that, but you obviously did.

I certainly conflated the FB appsec team with FB-as-company and whoever made the decision to not pay the bounty. Hence, I further qualified the target of my criticism in the subsequent replies.

But, boy-oh-boy, I must say, you seem to have taken my criticism of FB quite personally.

If so, I apologize for the misdirected barbs. They are not meant for you or the FB appsec team, but for whoever made the call to not pay the bounty. Like I said earlier, I look forward to learning more about the legal requirement not to pay. Hope you guys can muster that blog post.
It does get boring. However, instead of just being a friend to people, they see me as someone above their friends, where I become their main listener and comforter.

However I don't really hang out with anyone that much because I can't relate to their problems or experiences. People come to me with their life problems and for advice and I'm okay with that, kind of like a "life consultant".
The theme mentioned in the article seems to be keeping around the "faux-3D" concept of the look and feel with Bootstrap 2.x and below. So I think you're in the clear. Incidentally, you shouldn't need to worry about upgrading because it seems as though even with this "flat" approach, Bootstrap is still relatively easy to look at and defines borders/sections relatively obviously.

I'm personally a big fan of the opens-as-you-scroll sidebar navigation. Really cool for single-page apps!

To understand what is going on in Indian society, I recommend this book by Naipaul, written over 20 years ago, but still very relevant: "India, a million mutinies now" http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/55676.India

Basically India is in an utterly chaotic transition from an old established hierarchy where your caste and gender fixed your place in society to something that looks very different.

One part of the societal transition is that there is a vast horde of (mostly male) migrants to major cities in India and these men are absolutely not rooted in anything. They are away from their villages, their families, their social networks. For most of these young men, the social system, particularly gender roles, they experienced in the villages is very different from what they see in a big city. You put a lot of young men in that situation, they think anything goes, particularly when they see a foreigner or an urbanized Indian woman. They think of her not as a person, but as an object - but it is a different kind of objectification, where they feel inferior to the object, it is unattainable to them, so they act with cruelty and savagery. That is what is different between this form of objectification and normal patriarchal behavior which would try to be patronizing and protective towards women.

Those very same men, in their own village, would not do the same thing to a foreigner, because normal social restraints would apply. In a vast urban space, they feel the protection of anonymity and feel they can get away with anything.

The only short term solution, being tried in states like Tamil Nadu, is a massive increase in female police presence, both uniformed and plain-clothes police officers in public places in big cities. This does improve security for women where it has been tried (Chennai is an example of such a city). I hope her post serves us a wake-up call for the governments in India to think of measures like this.
I have a very different take here. I will delete it if it doesn't resonate with others:

Those who live by the sword die by it.

He particularly liked "you're a great cultural fit." That means you are JUST LIKE THEM. We can't say, "same race" (but it's true), we can't say, "same gender" (but it's true), and we can't say, "same taste in technology, living address, clothes and what you do on your off time" (but it's true - to the point that side projects are a part of many CTO job descriptions).

Well, those who live by the sword die by it. What I really like about this story is that it shows just how shallow "cultural fit" is.

At my company, I have no idea what some of my C-level people look like. This will absolutely shock some of you. It also gives me access to talent at a multiple of talent to dollars that you cannot even dream of.

Sure, we will never put an "About us" page up with a 'culturally fit' workforce. We might even just use models of 16 28-year-old men who look exctly the same (maybe off of a swim team), give them all glasses and a Macbook, and put them all in a company T-shirt, with a footnote "Representative models."

Meanwhile the rest of you feel free to continue warming chairs with them.

Of course, if they had not ignored my reports on a quarter million dollars of missing license revenue... oh well, their loss.
