Agree, it's a combination of both, as well as some other challenges. Yes, it's a culture that seems to support these behaviors broadly across the organization, a leadership team that isn't demonstrating the right behaviors and managers that are emulating their leader's behavior. There are definitely opportunities to change processes, behaviors, beliefs/thinking to tweak the culture, as well as give their managers training on how to get the best from their teams and support the company strategy.
Surprised at downvotes. Putting foo = 0 in a test for an if statement is something that even I can spot, and I am not a professional programmer and have had no formal training in programming other than an Algo 60 course at University way back in the last century.

The author of the code if malicious must have realised that it would not pass any kind of code review.

PS: I tend to discount 'tone' when reading blog pages as getting the 'tone' right is the kind of thing professional authors do.
Sorry, I meant the question to be a bit more meta. You don't usually wake up and find yourself in "oh shit, I need a hitman" situations out of the blue. It takes some work to get there.
"Kind of defeats the point - how do you know you're downloading the private key you scanned?"

Assuming that "private key" is a typo (you download public keys), you can just check the fingerprint of the key against the fingerprint you were given. That is easily automated.

No.
Branding is not some nebulous dark art. There is a process, that can be followed methodically. Each person will execute the details differently, but the gist of it will be the same. Figure out what business you are in. Find your competitors and know how you are different. Determine who your customers are, and why they should care about your business.

I attended Google I/O this year and received a Pixel. It's a really nice piece of hardware, but as a developer it's worthless. I saw Google presenters using a lot of Macs and a ThinkPad running Linux. Not a single Chromebook.
There are very deep reasons for this - the Born-Oppenheimer approximation, a central simplifying assumption, imposes some constraints on the system that make it easier to model with (semi)classical dynamics, even when you marry it with modern techniques such as DFT.

Kieron Burke has a nice take on the matter.

Running probably wouldn't have helped too much. I think his Forbes interview was an advertisement for "hey, I want to cash out, buyers please contact me", and a weak attempt at throwing people off his personal trail.

I find it VERY odd how they mention they imaged the server with zero information on how they found it. Smells very funny, like they intentionally left that part out. If it was a simple "we asked Rackspace for files on a one Ross Ulbricht" then they'd have said so.

OTOH, they may want us to think it was a secret attack, when it was just more of DPR's poor opsec. If he ordered fake IDs to hire servers but with his real picture... who knows.
Unless you compile it in Windows.
> Dorsey’s story evolved over the years. He would tell Vanity Fair that the idea for Twitter went back to 1984, when he was only 8 years old. A “60 Minutes” segment reported that Dorsey founded Twitter because he “was fascinated by trains and maps” and how cities function. Later, he would explain that he first presented the idea, fully realized, on a playground in South Park. All along, Dorsey began casting himself in the image of Steve Jobs, calling himself an “editor,” as Jobs referred to himself, and adopting a singular uniform: a white buttoned-up Dior shirt, bluejeans and a black blazer.

I'm intrigued by how pathologically obsessed Jack Dorsey seems to be with Steve Jobs. The more I learn about both men, the more I'm convinced that Dorsey is simply trying to copy Jobs in everything he does, from the design of Square's hardware and software to even the way he acts and talks in public.

I used to admire Dorsey greatly (and I still do to an extent), but the more I learn about him, the more I feel like I've been duped and manipulated, somehow. Turns out that a lot of what he said about founding Twitter was a lie at worst and a gross exaggeration at best.

I won't complain too much as long as he's making awesome products, but I can't help but feel a bit uncomfortable knowing that this guy I used to admire is actually a sociopath. A highly functional one to be fair, but a sociopath nonetheless.
Janet Yellen: The most powerful woman in US history
It would be nice if gmake had some predefined, portable, macros for working with Java, so XML clutter like Ant and Maven could be shown the door.

I so prefer reading makefiles to a sea of XML gibberish.

mytarget: source1 source2

do-something -o mytarget source1 source2

so much easier to read than Ant tasks. (and, yes, there are ways to get the file lists into symbols without explicitly enumerating them)

Ant, and by extension, Maven, was a huge step backward. Sure, have a way to make portable commands, BUT, was XML really needed??? And, does every task have to be built such that the task checks dependency timestamps, rather than the framework that calls the task???
He's not. He provides links to actual instances. I reckon there's the possibility of reporting bias, though. (Extraordinary events are more often reported than ordinary ones, leading us to believe they are more frequent. Case in point: lottery winners.)

I agree that there's no excuse for disrespect or unprofessionalism on the part of the USCIS agents.

And I suppose there may be no legal requirement for a person to disclose any information beyond "I'm a US Citizen returning to my home country". (I don't know this - I'm just assuming this, based on what you've said.)

Ultimately, of course, if you're a citizen, it's my understanding they have to let you back in. However, they also have broad discretion over investigating "suspicious" situations. Unfortunately, not wanting to say "anything" about your situation (why you were out of the country, where you went, etc) may stand out as "suspicious" to an agent who's accustomed to idle conversation about people's reasons for travel.
Starbucks Trademarks "Duffin" For Its New Pastry, Gets A Battering
Fascinating fact: the phrase "knock up," as in awaken by knocking, comes from the industrial revolution, after people were having to rise at a certain hour for the first time in history, but before the invention of the alarm clock. The "knocker-upper" was a person who went round with a long wooden pole, knocking on the windows to get people out of bed for their factory shifts.

Innovation: Connecting Neighborhoods
Sleep apnea? I have it too and couldn't stomach the CPAP machine. I read my sleep report and it turns out I didn't have any symptoms on my side. So I trained myself to sleep on my side and the symptoms went away. I wish my doctor told me that was an option before spending thousands on treatments, not to mention the time and stress of it all.

If side sleeping doesn't help, I know there are DIY oral appliances you can buy. They're usually marketed just for snoring, but have the same effect on SA. You need to boil it, put it in your mouth so it gets an impression of your teeth, let it cool and wear it at night. It keeps your mouth open enough to help with airway issues. Might as well try it. I think its $20.

I tried and failed at making a CRM.

The problem with developing and marketing CRMs is:

1. Very crowded space

2. You need to attract a lot of customers because revenue/customer for SaaS apps like CRMs are low: https://highrisehq.com/signup for example. When most of your customers will be on the free plan or paying you just $30-$40/month you'll need to attract 1000s in a very crowded space with plenty of low cost options around.

3. You can't tightly integrate email without going to a lot of trouble or resorting to a hack b/c Gmail and other services don't allow you to integrate their special sauce into your application. And IMAP isn't a viable option because of the low revenue/customer (IMAP is heavy and will cost you in bandwidth and storage).

4. Mission critical. If your CRM goes down even for a few minutes and you have 1000s of customers you're going to get a lot of angry phone calls. Not to mention a whole host of other issues that can go wrong like data loss, security breaches. Don't forget this is sensitive business data you'll be acting as a gatekeeper for. If something fails it'll be your head.

What are the advantages of using this plugin over using git in the terminal directly? The time to switch windows is always pretty marginal with Cmd-Tab, so that doesn't seem like a big enough win to me. (I'm honestly curious, I can't think of the big ones, but if I could I might switch.)

I could imagine diffing being a way better experience straight from the file you want to diff, and with code highlighting. That definitely sucks from the command line, but it's also pretty rarely needed.

Anything else?

The big disadvantage I see is that this is not going to be on anyone else's computer when I'm pairing or just messing around with them, so if I get accustomed to not using command-line interface then I get screwed when I'm not on my own computer...

Edit: the quick-commit feature looks pretty cool as a way to encourage making smaller commits, since I always forget to commit in smaller pieces.

I like that there's a new term for this. PaSH, sure, why not!

That said, I can't help but think the following:

1) Before software, there were already products and services.

2) Software came along, and was used by people providing products and services. In a way, this was already PaSH, kind of, just more indirectly and it wasn't called that as the emphasis was on the products and services provided, and not the software.

3) Software began being provided by "application service providers" (ASPs), which sort of evolved into SaaS (software as a service). We even sort of commandeered the term "services" as an abstraction over software/business services as in "web services".

4) Now we are talking about "software", plus the old meaning of "service", where the two are fused into one.

It's a new word (but not really a new concept) for a somewhat more recent organizational form ("service based organizations").
My takeaway (if the stuff printed is true) is that Dorsey is the Don Draper of Silicon Valley. That's not a knock on him. He figured out early on that reputation and image matter more than playing by the rules of some no-longer-meritocracy, and he focused primarily on his personal image at the expense of all else.

So he prioritized his reputation over that of Twitter, if the OP is accurate. Good for him! It worked out, didn't it? From my read, he never-- not once-- tried to lash our or hurt Twitter. What he did do is use it to maximize its benefit to his reputation. People need to do that sort of thing if they want to be relevant in the Valley; it is, at this point, a reputation economy. Dorsey's "going rogue", if that is a correct story, was his having the sense to play it as one.

If it sounds like I'm being facetious, that's not my intent. Twitter's making a lot of people rich in a way that hurts no one. Even the "pushed out" people are going to have a nice windfall and stirling careers in the Valley. I can't say the same of the two startups (one failed, one still-unknown) where I worked, both of which ended up malignantly hurting people who worked at them.
Are you basing this on the Bilton story? I wouldn't put much stock in the hero/villain aspects of that.

If the proposed intervention would result in an enhancement, why have we not already evolved to be that way?

This is completely misguided, because evolution does not necessarily "progress" in any sense. Here is a good explanation:

This looks like a typical example of what happens when people from mathematical fields or philosophers take up evolution and A) view it as some sort of simple optimization procedure and B) use it as some all-pervading philosophical principle from which things can be derived and don't have to be proven.

To put this in perspective, one of the most prominent illegal residental-building-to-hotel conversions that was originally causing problems for residents was called the Marriott ExecuStay[1] and was owned by a small-time hotel chain called Marriott International.

I do agree with one point in the article - there is diminishing returns. I've heard Warren Buffett say that after someone is 130 IQ, it all comes down to character. I'm inclined to agree. If I interview someone with 130 IQ, I'd much rather they have integrity and good social skills than another 5 IQ points.

A company that's doing #1 is very easy to recognize. Everyone's always rushing but never getting anything done because they haven't taken the time to clean up the mistakes the last rushed project caused. It's not the worst problem a startup can have, but if it's sustained it will kill the startup in the long run.

Number 2 is just a sign of management either not caring about or being too arrogant to see the truth: their company is going under. Chances are, such a company won't be around for much longer.

Number 3 is a sign that a company doesn't care about its peoples' happiness. It just wants them to be good little drones while management gets to do all the interesting work.

This is an erroneous assertion, sending every message to every client on the network was a valid design choice. By delivering every message to every client it is ensured that envelope information (to whom, from whom, etc.) isn't leaked. Even if you can see all of the BitMessage network traffic, you still can't deduce who sent and received a particular message.

They do have an acknowledgement mechanism that may make some level of envelope leaking possible but it's optional on the client side.

If you trust that the messages are properly encrypted, there's no reason to fear distributing those encrypted messages as widely as possible.
