Mail messages may go through multiple relays. Even if they are encrypted between relays, all routing mailers see the message unencrypted.

Your only option to secure your mail messages is end-to-end encryption. Do you really trust Google or any other company more than you trust the NSA?
Microsoft should open-source Windows and sell enterprise support, creating a CentOS/RHEL sort of analogue. They no longer have any competitive advantage in the basic OS and desktop/window management functions. This would simplify licensing issues at the desktop, and will help keep small/startup companies on the platform without them having to resort to piracy.

They can still sell enterprise add-ons to facilitate management (e.g. centralized identity management, pushing security policy, software and updates to hundreds of desktops), and this would free their other products (SQL Server, Active Directory, Exchange, Office, etc.) to compete on more than just the Windows platform.
Yeah, I know. I even signed it. They won't ever do it. That would involve logic and a basic grasp of technology.
In short, there is nothing wrong with the comedy of, say, Chris Rock, but it would probably not be a good fit for a professional working environment. Even if outside of that working environment every single person there would be laughing along with his vulgar set.

Fibre To The Home vs Fibre To The Node.

National Broadband Network.
In this context eavesdropping is probably far more likely than MITM.

Quite apart from MITM being an active attack only needed (ish) for manipulation of the transferred data, at the throughputs likely involved here and the fact that leased lines are used, MITM would probably provide far too much hassle for its worth.
I've been using this for a couple months now.

Setup was perfect, as per the instructions without anything weird popping up (which has happened on every other Pi project I've done)

Streaming FLAC from a network drive was jumpy, so I bought a USB drive to plug in which is loaded with my FLACs.

The Pi is plugged into a Scot Nixon USB Chibi DAC, and then a Rotel 1080 pre and power amp.

I did some A/B tests comparing the Pi to an Airport Express running RCA's directly into the pre amp, and the difference is huge. Lower noise floor, much better separation, and a lot of detail. I'd suggest anyone who's wondering should give it a go. Also the mPad app on iPad and iPhone works perfectly.
While I admire the guys's perseverance, I can't help but have the reaction of "wow that is selfish". If you're working that much (for that long) it sounds like you have very little family life.
That's also a good reason why anyone receiving this kind of mail should engage chatting with them for the fun, so that scammers get flooded and can't find their victims.

Ouch...I actually spend more time with my family than I would if I was working a regular 9-5. We are together since I work at my laptop near them. But yes I am busy a lot... thats the point of the writing I guess.

I'm torn between thinking I'm putting too little time in my software business (solo developer), and thinking that I'm spending too little time with my family.

I don't want to believe I need to sacrifice my family life to be successful.
> There's a good reason why we've gravitated towards monogamy (at least as an ideal) -- it works.

Does it? Look at the divorce rate...

I think really it works (to an extent) in our current society because monogamy, like the article suggests, was accepted as a cultural norm because it supports the notions of private property and capitalism.

I wonder if there's a correlation between non-monogamy in a society and the amount of socialism in its current politics.
That's also why there are many references to religion in those texts. Religious people have self-selected for being gullible and acting on belief rather than on facts and so are presumably easier to prey on. For the scammers this is part of their cost/benefit analysis, if they have lower hanging fruit to pluck they'll definitely concentrate their efforts there.
Do you realize that preventing someone from getting a job because "has traditionally been a female-only occupation due in-part to traditional gender-specific roles around child-rearing" and that "men who choose to enter it are viewed with scepticism" is the very definition of sexism?

Sexism isn't about the industry or about career advancement is about discrimination against a gender for a given category of jobs.

Sexism is the assertion that one sex is inferior to the other, usually because of or alongside assertion of stereotypes of that gender.

Misogyny is the hatred of women.

Neither word really has anything to do with being attracted to the sexuality of the other gender. Neither word really has anything to do with simply being unkind, mean, or insensitive. Unfortunately, we often seem to throw these labels on people (labels which stick and aren't too dissimilar from calling someone a racist or homophobe) when they're not really relevant. Having a poster of a sexualized woman or buying videogames with attractive women on the poster or laughing at a joke about the other gender or saying a particular person of the other gender is an idiot are -- while unkind and inconsiderate -- not generally matters of discrimination, superiority, or "hate".

Frankly, I feel we do a disservice to the value of these words in describing actual sexism and actual (but rare) misogyny by throwing them at everything under the sun that makes someone a little uncomfortable or is anything short of respectful. Of course, even suggesting that we should be more careful of our use of these words, I am now probably both of them.

They want onions, they still eat onions. Onions are a very important staple, it is like rice in Japan. Onion prices have skyrocketed in recent times due to monsoons this year and drought last year.

http://worldnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/08/28/20228605-enoug...

The cost of a pound of onions has risen from around 9 rupees (13 cents) to an average of 45 rupees (65 cents) in the last month alone. The shortage is front-page news in the country, where high onion prices have been credited with swinging elections in the past.

"We all need onions,” businessman Pradeep Kohli said. “My dining table is incomplete without onions, they're used in all Indian dishes and salads. What do we do if we can't have onions? It's a worrying time.”
I was a bit put off by the very first thing being a download of unverified source code over a non-encrypted protocol, which was then run as root. Later worked out that you only did that on the ansible server, not on every server you deploy, but still.

The use of files in /tmp in the ansible rules is also asking for trouble (unless ansible goes to lengths to securely write to files in /tmp without eg following symlinks). debconf-set-selections can read from stdin, or you can put the file somewhere better.

I do not justify sexism in the tech industry, I'm trying to resize and put into perspective the phenomenon. If you add up all the jobs that are the preserve of women (mostly retail, where face-to-face communication is needed) you can actually see that sexism in the tech industry, in the grand scheme of things, is a pretty small matter. If you think I'm being hyperbolic just take a look at job ads for common jobs like barista, sales rep., PR, call centers operator, etc.
First, it's great to hear that you're getting work; but are you only working part time? 5K at 60 an hour is only about two weeks worth of work (83 hours)?

One thing that doesn't seem to come through in all these pundit articles and internet discussions is how fantastically successful MS are.

They've survived several paradigms over decades in a business where most didn't. Most years (including the last few) they make more money than the year before. They have a bunch of very big businesses that make big money. Compare that to Google. Google do lots of cool things: self driving cars, webmail. glass, android. Cool stuff. Still, almost all their money comes from search/adwords/adsense.

They have lots of faults. I really dislike Windows. But, they have a lot of good traits too that others should emulate. A big one is stubborn survivey-ness. Just because an MS thing is still lame 2 years after it was launched doesn't mean it won't make it. They can stick at lame products until they make them decent.

Bottom line I guess is that MS are survivors. I expect them to survive.
Also, it's really hard to choose between Delphi and Pascal (no features specific to Object Pascal are used) and between Nemerle and C# (no Nemerle-specific features seem to be used).
Both genders objectify each other on a regular basis. There isn't even anything wrong with that (unless objectifying each other is the whole of your entire concept and interaction with the other gender).

The issue here is pretty clear cut. It wasn't appropriate for the setting in which it was presented. Nothing more. A stupid app, Cosmo magazine, pinup posters, physical attraction, and so on aren't really relevant and don't need to be inherently demonized.
Chrystia may be correct from a strictly 'count the dollars' perspective, but I disagree with many of her conclusions.

Though the mega-rich may be spending more on education, access to quality education has never been cheaper or as easily available (I just took a University Machine Learning Course on Coursera and didn't pay a thing).

David Karp was likely on his way to being an upper-middle-class web developer, who then created Tumblr and joined the mega-rich. It wasn't a 0-sum game. Nobody had to loose for Karp to win.

Lastly, her concerns for what the current or future environment holds for the working class, the market decides the rates of pay, and it is due to the market that incomes have somewhat stagnated (if they truly have). The mega-rich may be getting richer on the backs of those workers, but they are also loosing billions in the same environment. Their is a constant transfer of wealth, and as long as their is somebody else willing and capable of doing your job for less, corporate fiscal responsibility for the most part requires that the lower cost employee get the job.

We seem to not complain when prices for goods decline over time, but don't recognize that those declines are matched by a decline in purchasing power. It isn't the responsibility of business to ensure that we are constantly making more and more money, it is their responsibility to ensure that we are able to live a comfortable and happy life so that we can come back to work for them day after day.
The "Paradoxical Gears Explained" video shows a belt behind the gears. That suggests it's not really the gears driving each other.

Upvoted just because it's something different.
Indeed, it's like measuring the quality of a plane by its weight, but it's not hard to gauge "too much" weight.
If its not sexist, then can you explain why it is inconsiderate?
Sorry if I come of a bit harsh (personal bias, I'm aware), but here's my input:

As someone who grew up in two different places (granted, they were strong opposites), and as someone who knew many children whose parents moved a lot, I'm warning you; It has a very negative effect on most children, loosing your friends/peers and not being allowed to "invest" in them. As an adult you might think, oh, well he can use Skype or e-mail then, and what's so bad about making new friends. No. Eventually most of them stop making friends, or make them very superficially. Your kids most likely won't have childhood friends, friends they trust, nor close friends. And no, family (or you) is not a substitute either.

> sacrificing the safety & comfort of a ‘normal life’ and just doing what it takes to make something happen

That's great as long as it's only your stuff you're sacrificing.

I do commend the bravery and spirit, but I'm strongly against including kids in it.
> but starting with our current hardware as the basis, and reconceptualizing the OS around security and stability.

NB: Do NOT visit the code repository - it's governed by a copy-left proprietary license.

This has been done by Microsoft [1], although it was pure research (there were hints of them using it for something "real" eventually, though). Essentially it was an OS written in a variant of C# that had Eiffel-like contracts - static analysis was done by the OS when an application was installed.

Worth a read, as I said - make sure you keep away from the code.

In Australia, where this petition is relevant, these acronyms are well understood by the public and don't need further explanation.
> Is it not possible to lead a startup and work normal hours (≤8) and spend time with your kids?

Absolutely. The problem is that if you go head-to-head with people that will go all out there is a chance that they'll be able to outgun you with a similar sized team.

In practice there are ways to offset for that depending on the situation, for instance, you could have more experience, better quality people you're working with, an established track record and/or a better launchpad.

So it's not just a one-dimensional (time put in) problem.
If I were King of Microsoft I would break it into two companies:

1. Take ex-Nokia handsets, XBOX, and all the miscellaneous hardware and consumer software and cloud services and call that Microsoft Devices and Services.

2. Take Windows 8 for PCs and servers, Office, everything enterprise and call it Azure, Inc.

Spin the two entities out to shareholders and reap the gains from letting investors own the thing they want to own, and from managers managing the thing they want to manage in the direction they want to go.

Azure would end up licensing a good deal of stuff to MD&S, but both entities could end up with a strong licensing business to third parties, too.

That would be nice, but I agree with fauigerzigerk: "...things will become much much worse for Microsoft before they get better"
Fear Increases Productivity and the Old
Well, mankind didn't use medicine for around a million years. Then after using herbal medicines for around 10,000 years, we've only been using antibiotics during the last century. So the "hipster fad" is actually the using of medicine. It's not a natural thing for mankind to be doing.

Well, mankind practiced almost universal cannibalism for around a million years [note: this is true]. Then after restricting cannibalism to certain tribes and certain occasions for around 10,000 years, we've only ceased cannibalism entirely during the last century. So the "hipster fad" is actually the lack of cannibalism. It's not a natural thing for mankind to not be consuming the brains of its vanquished enemies.

I totally understand this (and jnardiello and pstack's points too). As a counterpoint, I also know of at least one female dev who would think nothing of discussing an app like the one above and joining in the laughs.

I suppose the problem is, do we need to vet everyone for sharing the same humour and standards of acceptability as us? If we're joining the same football team or going to a comedy club and some beers, I wouldn't particularly enjoy hanging out with someone as dull/safe as I am at work. But is it ok to say to a woman, "We'd love to welcome you onboard so long as you don't mind the dick jokes constantly flying around the office."? (Whether explicitly or implicitly, I don't think it is ok).

If we really want to solve the clique-problem in tech, we need to either change the boundaries of acceptable humour and behaviour. No-one wants to spend 8 hours a day in a "sterile humorless environment". I know I had the most fun coding in my early 20s in an office where 90% of us were just out of university and male.

There are going to be more tradeoffs towards inclusiveness as we go forward. Even it reduces the fun sometimes, I think it's the right thing to do.
The author seems to misunderstand what responsive design actually is.

Responsive design is not simply 'download everything, show less on smaller screens'. If your version of responsive design sounds like this, then you're doing it wrong.

Responsive design means taking into account the form factor of the device, and tailoring the layout / positioning etc in accordance. This may mean hiding links and buttons behind some extra drop-down menu or something similar, but you shouldn't be simply hiding things that the user is suddenly not allowed to view.

Additionally, if making your site responsive adds so much extra crap that your 'responsive' version loads noticeably slower than the non-responsive version, then I'm going to hazard a guess and say that your original design is also bad.
I'd be more worried about being able to verify the firmware on the drives. Perhaps choosing to allow only drives you know how to (re)flash yourself?
The reason why it's useful is because in your case (empirically measure) it becomes at best "relative". There may be cultures / societies where woman desire men to stare at their breasts. In this case his argument would mean naught.

It also depends on the talents of the team and individual in question... I don't want people to think I'm advocating they dump as many hours as I do into things... I'm just saying thats been my personal way of attacking things. Everyone is different - Im sure there are people out there who can put in way less time and get better results for their needs... this is just what I happen to be doing to make things work. I'm a bit extreme normally anyhow.
Fine, I'll respond then. If some women don't find it offensive, all I need to find are women who did find it offensive, belittling, discouraging or isolating.

Or some men who believed it was offensive, belittling, discouraging or isolating to women. Like myself and a bunch of others.

The widespread use of Puppet also has some benefits:

- lots of documentation

- Foreman ( http://theforeman.org/ , backed by Redhat) as a great alternative to Puppet Enterprise

- projects like GitHub's Boxen ( http://boxen.github.com/ ) to bootstrap your devel machine

- a large repository of modules available: https://forge.puppetlabs.com/

- a couple of books, training, conference, if you like those things

However, I'm very aware of those ugly warts, so there's a lot of potential for a successor.
