I think people are looking at this from a security standpoint. If it can't be audited by the public, (because it's "proprietary" and presumably closed source) it can't be presumed safe.

Great Story. Stories like this give me back my faith in humanity. Often Companies are looking for the 20 year old senior with 10 year experience in the same job, they are applying for.

However in the startup world the hiring process you experienced at ODesk is very common.
Most startups don’t have a HR team to do all the personnel stuff. The CEOs and 'techies' decide who is joining the company and they are focused on your skillset. Can that applicant deal with our everyday problems? Which of course makes sense; they don’t necessarily need a senior or principle. They need someone who can get the job done.

I’m happy for you and wish you best of luck doing the job you’ve always wanted.

> So what's your business model?

What? Do you really think the entire Internet is a business, or that the Internet is defined by its similarity to a business?

Your reasoning is circular: My site isn't a business, but everything is a business, and the entire point of a business is to make money, but my site doesn't make money.

You're trying to to offer the fact that I don't have signups as proof that my site isn't real. To a hammer, everything is judged by its similarity to a nail.

I saw this coming years ago, at a time when people designed Websites for any number of reasons -- before the Internet had become a virtual strip mall.

> The entire point of a business is to make money, so I wonder how you do that.

This may be futile, but just for the record, you need to examine your assumptions. Not all racehorses are platypuses.
This is fundamentally wrong. During development, security and self-confidence come from the environment you're brought up in.

Call forwarding service with phone menu?
I'm looking for a service where callers would be greeted by a phone menu that would then forward to different phone numbers.

For example the caller would hear the following "For business A press #1, for business B press #2" etc. The call would then be forwarded depending on the option the caller selects.
I doubt it's for GPS assistance. Motion sensors can be used to suppress Wi-Fi scanning and/or GPS localization during the roughly 89% of the time humans are not moving. Remember, phones continually scan for new Wi-Fi APs in the background even when the screen is off. On modern phones with a/b/g/n chipsets (32 channels to scan) and energy-expensive CPUs (i.e. Exynos) this takes a huge amount of power.

Motion sensors themselves are really energy-cheap but the main CPU needs to be on to sample them, which basically means that if you want continuous mobility detection you're going to burn through your battery pretty quickly, which is why it isn't used much. You can do some CPU duty-cycling, but wake-up and suspend overhead is pretty bad and can amount to as much as 50% of the total energy spent. I haven't done any measurements on an iPhone, but a GS2 Exynos 4 is a terrible energy drain, while an something like an OMAP 4460 (e.g. Galaxy Nexus) is much more efficient.

By offloading mobility detection to a separate chip you can bring down the overhead to tens of mW. The fact that you can use it as a step counter for jogging is just icing on the cake :)

This is a problem with a social/technical solution. As you say, according to Can-Spam act it's legal to send spam to people who haven't opted out.

On the other hand, it is also legal and ethical to make a list of which senders are sending spam to people who haven't opted in, and try to filter out all messages from such spammers.
Clients mitigate BEAST. RC4 is only a stopgap for ancient clients that don't have BEAST workarounds.

There is a solution, TLS 1.1 and 1.2. Because of slow server-side adoption, clients will have to keep supporting TLS 1.0 for quite a while. Because clients can't drop support for TLS 1.0, there's no strong incentive for server administrators to ensure their servers support TLS 1.1 and 1.2.

> How can any government accept a situation where communications are so secure that none of their agencies can break it?

The way they accept every other fact of life that they cannot change.

The genie is out of the bottle now. Strong encryption exists; government cannot break it, and "bad actors" will use it. Law enforcement do need to investigate crime, but they need to do it in the real world not in the world of make believe. If that means they have to go back to older, harder investigative methods then life will go on.

The "alternative" that our governments seem to have chosen is unconscionable... They break their own laws, forsake their own principles and corral their own people into virtual concentration camps.

In their desperation they have seized total control, and then "restrained themselves" to simulate the capabilities they might have had in the good old days. Their self-restraint is admirable, but our societies are founded on law and democracy, not built on trust in the good natures of absolute rulers.

and third: You can't change whatever attribute of yours is being measured when the data leaks out by accident. And fourth: You always share the same attribute with every service identifying you.

We've already seen password databases being compromised. If that happens, you change your password and move on. If biometric data leaks out, you a) can't change your attribute and b) you will have shared that attribute with other parties.

Biometric data is WAY worse than passwords.
I honestly think that while this has every right to be here - and be discussed here - given the last couple months' worth of revelations it's pretty offensive nevertheless.

Obviously SIGINT for a nation isn't a bad thing per se, but when they infringe on the core democratic principles of the state they claim to represent then that's just a disgusting abuse of power.
I recently reported a security issue in an API to a major tech vendor (not Google) and was shocked to get a reply from a "security analyst" at the firm who basically said it was a non-issue because it didn't occur when they went to the API url in their web browser.

It's baffling that tech firms seem to have people without strong technical aptitudes responsible for incoming security reports.
> On the other hand, it is also legal and ethical to make a list of which senders are sending spam to people who haven't opted in, and try to filter out all messages from such spammers.

Yes, that's true, and IMHO admirable. The difference is that people who send spam are organized and have substantial resources. Organizations like Spamhaus (which do exactly what you suggest) are under constant threat of extinction by well-heeled adversaries.

http://www.spamhaus.org/news/article/698/

Quote: "The Spamhaus Project offers congratulations and its sincere thanks to the Dutch Public Prosecution Service (OM), the Dutch National High Tech Crime Unit (NHTCU) of the Dutch Police Services Agency (KLPD), the Spanish National Police (Catalonia branch in collaboration with the Central UDEF), and any and all other entities involved in the recent arrest announced in regard to the Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks on Spamhaus in March 2013."

The bottom line is that it's an uphill battle to fight organizations who have both resources and ill-advised laws on their side.
I think there is a point at which mindlessly yelling "WHAT ABOUT THE NSA" at, well, basically everything stops being useful, because it offers no insight whatsoever, and provokes no thoughts that hadn't already been provoked. In fact, past a certain point it becomes counterproductive, as it enters "Old Man Yells At Cloud" territory and opens up the commenter, and by connection the content of the comment, as a subject of ridicule.

Also, you've still not proven to me that you don't work for the NSA.

Well you're probably gonna need a phone anyway, so the question is rather why someone would pay $70 for an extra device rather than $70 extra for a phone with a good camera.
My impression is that they actually pay the tech people pretty well to be chained to a desk...
By that logic, Apple should have never published the iPad because it is too big to hold in a human hand. Carrying bigger phones in a pocket isn't really an issue either.
Apple's following the exact same playbook they wrote with the imac and ipod where they focussed heavily on the primary form factor for several years and then threw open the gates to colors.

Why is this the big deal? Apple stands for everything that the FSF fights against. Same goes for Microsoft and all the usual others. Just the usual statement in case you didn't know already.
Since when were all point and shoot cameras $70 ?

Many of the Micro 4/3s and higher end P&S like Sony RX100 are relatively pricey and could find the iPhone snapping at their heels. The difference in quality could easily be acceptable given the benefits of an internet connected device e.g. Facebook, Instagram, Flickr.
W3C or IETF are open by their nature. Thus, there can be multiple backdoors inserted by multiple parties. So if you use multiple such standards to encrypr, it may happen that there's an entity that has backdoor in all of them.

A standard from NSA, on the other hand, is guaranteed to have exactly one backdoor. Same goes for KGB etc.

I'm sure this is thrilling to folks interested in tracking their sports performance; it does seem like a somewhat new and useful product for that field. It's not my area of expertise at all, I just looked at it due to general gadget/sensors/tracking interests triggering.

I found the campaign page lacking in technical detail, it repeatedly states that it's "accurate", but never becomes more specific than saying "inch-accurate". What does that mean? That the position of the device is tracked with an accuracy of +/- 1 inch? Globally? Without extra hardware "in the field" (such as that used by the tractors discussed here just a few days ago)? The title here uses the word "centimetric", but that's not repeated on the campaign page.

Also, $200 feels expensive to me, but again I'm not in the market, perhaps it's magically cheap if you simply could not do this before, but now you can.
Point taken, removed the whiny bit.
> Manufacturers of point-of-shoot cameras can pack up and leave if this is a trend.

My friend brought a cheap point-and-shoot camera to last New Years Party. He had pictures from a family get-together with kids throwing leaves up in the air, taking multiple snapshots during. With the fast shutter mode, you could see individual leaves and zoom in on them. I'm certain the iPhone 5 nor any other camera phone cannot come even remotely close to that.

Then there's the low light pictures I tested during the party. None of the cameraphones could get a decent shot, but the point-and-shoot was amazing.

Sure, if you take pictures in ideal conditions with a cameraphone, it starts to get hard to tell, but the reality is most pictures are taken with low lighting, or too much motion, and I've yet to see a single cameraphone be even minimally useable in these conditions.
Reality check:

1. The spec published today is not suggesting that iPhone 5c/s would support TD-SCDMA networks which CMCC is bound to due to regulation reasons. And LTE-TDD is light year ahead for CMCC.

2. A difference of mere 800 CNY in price between 5c and 5s is not attractive enough to those who can afford 5,000+ CNY(, i.e. the iPhone 5s) in China. And in the past, smugglers carrying duty-free iPhones from Hong Kong in the first few months of sales may reduce the high price caused by the tariff and VAT. Now, Hong Kong is NOT even in the initial list!

I used to freelance after my full-time job and I have to admit that it is really exhausting. I had less time for my girlfriend and to compensate this I left all my hobbies. I could not even watch a movie or start reading a book because I had to finish my freelance work. It is really hard to predict sometimes how much effort is needed for a freelance job, so if you are not so experienced take my advice: always tell your client that when he changes the requirements the deadline must also change. Always thinking about the deadlines and the work to do - best way to burn out.

One more thing: sure it is a good thing to earn more money by working more. If you have a debt or you are really need to save for something it might be (not sure it is the best) a good approach to boost your income. I had no debts while I was doing this; I just wanted some more money to increase the level of my lifestyle, let's say.. the problem was that I had no time to really spend or use the plus money in a good way.

I hope I could help. Also please notice that I am sure that there are people whose tolerancy for work or their energies let's say are higher than mine.

> How can any government accept a situation where communications are so secure that none of their agencies can break it?

In a democracy? A system in which (at least in principle) the government is supposed to obey the laws and serve the needs of the people?

> Essentially law enforcement do need to investigate crime.

That logically breaks down to two questions: (1) Can the government listen in on anything it wants, and (2) does the government have that right? I won't presume to offer practical answers, but from a legal and constitutional standpoint, the answers are maybe and no.

> Even this anarchist accepts this.

An anarchist who accepts the government's right to listen in on anything ... isn't an anarchist. An anarchist who assumes that the government is doing that ... is a realist.

Has anyone used all of the HTML5 tags in anger? I've tried a couple of times to build something fully "semantic". I struggle to create something that looks good semantically (ie just reading the HTML) and is also laid out on the page in the way I wanted it to be.

There seem to be lots of situations, even in just mildly complicated web pages, where you need to write HTML code solely for graphics / layout reasons that completely breaks the idea of having a purely semantic document.

In the end it just seemed much faster and cleaner to be more flexible with those various structures and to give up on the whole "semantic" document ideal and smash divs around.

I'm ready to fully accept that this is the tables->css revolution all over again and I'm just crap, though, if that's the case.

I am not placing ads yet, but was thinking about having one ad displayed instead of a spinner during the schedule search. That would make a 100% fill rate for 3/4 seconds.
You probably could make it that way too, having some kind of timer and only displaying ads once, but in full screen.

My app does not only target students, so they would be more general. :)
I am currently implementing the ad, so can't provide any feedback yet :).

Update: To be 100% sure, by fill rate you mean the actual size of the ad on screen, or something else? (I find several definitions on the web)
It really depends on what kind of page you're making. If you're doing a heavily optimised landing page where everything has to be just-so, you might need to smash a few divs.

If you're just making a basic page that's not too designy, you can produce some beautiful looking html. It looks even better in haml. Write some sass for it and you will reach a higher state of markup consciousness.
I actually really like the idea too !
This is a direct match with the app I am developing. Definitely gonna take that into consideration.
