This thread is a great example of filter-bubble thinking.

There is a trade-off between security and features here, and while for some people it'll be worth it for others it won't.

The majority of posters here are likely developers/technical people for who the features aren't that important and for who security is a much higher priority (because they're thinking about it from a personal email perspective rather than a professional email perspective).

For people working in bizdev, sales, recruitment, etc. their equation is completely different. This delivers them high-value (being able to close more deals faster) with a relatively lower security trade-off.

Their professional email account is likely already hooked into their CRM, email analytics, backup service, audit and archiving services, address book services, etc. Their PA and corporate IT likely has access to their email as well. Adding Linkedin is just one more service from a company they already trust with highly confidential information (leads, Linkedin inbox mails, etc.)

(incidentally I'm guessing a lot of HN users probably have half a dozen chrome extensions for SEO, screen grabbing, debugging, etc. from unverified sources which have access to far more information than just your email credentials)

Phil was my teenage icon. Maybe he wasn't such a great genius, but he did a lot of money out of almost nothing, and never bothered himself much about anything.
Set a minimum wage to a reasonable level (i.e. enough that you can eat without extra support if earning it) and the issue goes away.

The idea that you can shame companies into action doesn't work - it might in one or two cases, but people quickly forget, and there are too many companies to target anyway.

Why would they be unemployed? It's hard to make the argument that McDonald's (and similar) would make cuts to its work force if the minimum wage were higher, considering their profits are already ridiculously healthy.

randrange is the fixed randint, which works just as you'd expect. It's far preferable to randint, for the aforementioned reason, and ever since I started using it all those annoying off by one errors that randint kept giving me vanished.

The one thing I still use randint for is rolling dice. randint(1,6) is the equivalent of a six-sided die, and is that bit more readable as such than the equivalent using randrange.

But for any other purpose, randrange beats randint hands down. Off-by-one errors, be gone!
I think he's talking world-wide, not just in the U.S.
If you are employed you are paying for healthcare
I think that works out to $3000/employee. If these employees work on average 2000 hours/year (could be wildly different to that, depends on how many of these employees are full-time, and the amount of hours in a full-time work year in various countries), and McDonalds was to pay each employee $1/hour more, the profits would drop by two-thirds, to $1000/employee.

Without raising price, some franchises could eat[1] that extra cost; some would probably have to close shop.

[1] Boom. Zing.

If McDonald's (and the rest of the industry) was forced to pay workers more, they'd probably raise their prices. Maybe we should say that middle-class taxpayers are subsidizing the middle class' desire for cheap fast food.
The Pope: how the Church will change
But that 2.57% is still £5.164 billion a year - which is rather a lot of money. Mind you, I take your point - from the way that the problem is described by the Daily Mail crowd (ironically, in my experience, often retired people) you'd think that 90% of welfare payments were going to the unemployed.

You're partially right; except that in this race they would prefer to be the first as late as possible.

For that you would optimize being the most ready to run, but trying to get the group not to run for as long as possible.

The experts may be looking for tumors and not gorillas, but what if it wasn't a gorilla but also not a tumor?

Imagine a doctor performing an ultrasound on a pregnant woman... A tumor may very well go unnoticed even if the doctor looks directly at it, just because he isn't looking for tumors.
Last sentence particularly rings true for me! Where ever there are profits, there is also a deficit elsewhere, this is one of the core problems with our monetary system.
We are brought up not to be greedy and to be generous, then as soon as we enter the real world as adults that need to earn a living, many are forced to make decisions that are not ethical in order to survive/support family etc.
I have been spending a lot of time looking into the Resource Based Economy recently and this model seems far superior to anything we have at the moment, unfortunately, it is so radically different from what we have that it is going to take a lot of educating and a lot of work to start abandoning our current failing system in favour of another. Still, I have a lot of hope for the future, we have everything we need right now to change the world, we just need everyone to be willing and ready to accept this change!
Ah, here we go. So overweight because why? Eating 99-cent menu items from fast-food menus 4 times a day and filling their homes with the cheapest industrial-processed food ever. Liters of soda, microwave-TV-dinners, huge bags of cheetos, etc. That junk isn't food, IMHO. If a low-income person wants to give their family something better, they can't afford it.
Low-income, probably low-education & stressful-job(s), not enough motivation/energy after coming home from work to cook a proper meal or get exercise. Personally, I think they can't afford it in ways that go beyond just money...
I would say that the iPad is the pinnacle of "not having to think about anything".

Battery life is solid, unlike the tablets before (the figure I found for the TC1100 is 2-3h), the operating system is built for touch unlike Windows (or OS X). There are just no quirks to it that have to be explained by historical or technical circumstances. It just is. That's probably why it is so frustratingly non-futuristic :)

When I entered university I was assigned to an alumni who would be my mentor: the IT director of a large French car maker. We really met only once, but he told me one thing that has sticked to this day (paraphrased):

"To live a healthy and happy life you need to balance three aspects: work, family and personal. People will tell you you need to balance work and family. But you have to recognize that sometimes you will need to spend time as you please: do not feel ashamed for it."

Life is not just work and family, and nobody should be a slave of either.

It's a clever hack but "Doing the impossible" is a ridiculous oversell headline.
As I understand it, you are attempting to misdirect via nit-pick. The comment you are replying to essentially asserted that the minimum wage is insufficient to cover the average total cost of living, expressed through the colloquialism of "feeding themselves and their families".

Your response is to nit-pick about the dollar amount the cost of food contributes to the cost of living and whether the minimum wage can provide that amount, presumably in an attempt to mislead incautious readers into believing that the minimum wage is sufficient to cover the total cost of living, when in fact it is not (it is only sufficient to cover some components of that cost).

That would be a fundamentally dishonest thing to do, so I'm certain you won't be doing that here, yes?
And thus, the NSA scandal returns to the spotlight. Here in Germany this is a big deal, since the government not only has been very apathetic, but also publically declared that the scandal was now "over" a few weeks ago.

The difference is that the Canadian health system is designed for Canadians to use for long periods of time, whereas the american programs are only intended to be stopgap measures when a family is temporarily unable to provide the things provided by the program for themselves.

Anyone in canada is able to take advantage of the publicly funded doctor. The system is purposely setup to cover every canadian. Only low income Americans are eligible to take advantage of SNAP and Medicaid. The system was originally designed to help people for relatively short periods of time when they are between work that pays them enough to not need the assistance. In fact, part of the reason many people dislike these programs are due to the mythical "welfare queen" that stays on programs like these for years and chooses not to get a better job because that would mean no longer getting the free (to her) assistance.

If every American was eligible to be on food stamps for their entire life, then there wouldn't be a difference. But that's not how food stamps are designed nor how they work.
Both files appear identical to me. Which is odd, since there is only 1 CNAME to an address with 1 A record. Perhaps your version of static.php.net is cached by your ISP?
Not for me. Both urls have exactly the same content, and nothing suspicious.

Could this be a DNS issue, with a different server serving the bad .js file?

Vim is not as hard as it seems, the learning curve is kind of steep but nothing too crazy to get the basic things going, it's just a different approach to text editing. Don't get me wrong I would never use it (me, myself!) as a IDE, but as text editor, it's pretty great.

I don't want to start a flamewar about this, I don't find them interesting, I just want to point out that knowing Vim is extremely useful if you're going to be shh'ing into remote machines as it is basically ubiquitous.
This just strengthens my view that the open web is the future, although a lot of people will tell you the exact opposite.
I'd say it's not important at all any more. Users will type a web address - at most - once into their address bar then they only need to type the first letter or two. Sometimes a user will just search in the address bar or directly on Google for your company/product name.
When I was a student, 20+ years ago, I had a summer job in America selling aerial photos door to door. I got chatting to an older guy serving in a MacDonalds who asked me a lot of questions about what cameras were used etc etc. I told him he knew a lot about cameras, and he said "I used to be a professional photographer, but I went out of business. Now it's either this or suicide."

Poor bastard. I always wondered what happened to him and I hope he got back on his feet.

It's not. No, we should go after changing the minimum wage law to somehow relate to the poverty line.

No one who works 40 hours/ week or more in the US should be living below the poverty line.
For a work to be in placed in public domain, the author(s) must waive all rights to the work. So the "license" part of the readme is actually "The author disclaims copyright to this source code." You can actually obtain a "real" license for sqlite since some jurisdictions do not recognize public domain at all.
Don't forget the last part of my comment:

Low-income, probably low-education & stressful-job(s), not enough motivation/energy after coming home from work to cook a proper meal or get exercise. Personally, I think they can't afford it in ways that go beyond just money...

_____ways that go beyond money____

stressful-job(s) = not enough motivation/energy to cook. Multiple jobs probably means get home, just in time to take a 3 hour nap, take shower and head out to the next job. Forget about any meaningful attendance at the local gym. Assuming it's even safe enough to be at said gym during after-work hours in a low-income area.

low education = Not knowing just how damaging junk food really is.

Wow. 11%. That's abysmal.

I would have expected that from some of those places here in Europe where female workplace participation in general is low.

But in the US? That is surprising.
food stamp eligibility is based on whether you live at or below the poverty line.

Minimum wage, while once above the poverty line (assuming a 40 hour work week), has not risen with inflation, so it is now well below the poverty line.
No information that I can see - just an attempt to get the curious to "sign up" and a vague promise of "points".

I am not at all sure I need any points.

"If we use up our willpower resisting one temptation we will have less in reserve to resist the next. That’s a big deal because you don’t want to use up all of your willpower resisting a cupcake.."

That is true, but also you can't avoid this situations because if "willpower behave somehow like a muscle" you have to train it. It is hard to find a mix between training your willpower and not spending too much willpower on training and having nothing left.

I recommend everyone to read more about this topic, there are great books out there which explain how willpower works in your brain and body.

One little trick helps me a lot.. If you look at your stuffed garage say to yourself: what a beautiful pile of willpower training.
But in this case it looks like Google tool found legit, but obfuscated file, which was loaded in some tricky way that bad sites usually use, and decided it's a malware.

Maybe because of my UNIX-influenced worldview which says that the things I'm using should be streamlined, do-one-thing-but-do-it-very-well, and should be "composable" as in ... via UNIX pipes, if we're talking about software utilities, and by putting them on the same network, if we're talking about computing devices.

There is this crazy concept in version control and open source in general called: Forking.

The company isn't absorbing the true cost of doing business.

Many businesses have problems like this, like coal power plants that dump CO2 into the air. They don't have to pay the costs of dealing with their actions. Tobacco companies don't have to pay for health care when people get sick from their product. This shifts part of the cost of doing business onto someone else, thus distorting their market.
Basic income would be the alternative to food stamps designed to be used for long periods of time.

It's actually a little surprising that the concept is not given more attention, at least in countries with socialised health care. It would be a very hard sell in the US.
But how often do you get sunny weather in that location?
If profits are reasonable and workers still have to sign up for food stamps, maybe the price of food at mac donalds is too cheap.
So taxpayer are subsidizing both profits and cheap food.
They also subsidize it through healthcare for ppl eating too much mac donalds.
A few decades ago, people would spend roughly one third of their income for food. How much do we spend now? Far less.

Campaigns could fall within regulation if they: -￼promote policies which, for whatever reason, are associated with one or more political ￼parties or candidates – such as housing, welfare, a referendum on EU membership, wind ￼farms or HS2.

That's not the entirety of the argument. There's the natural number stuff, as well.

Also, b-a is appealing because simplicity is a good indicator you're on the right track, and part of the definition of elegance.
Okay, I'm done here. I'm not even clicking on that link. Go tell that to the illegal immigrants doing back-breaking labor everyday, poor people barely making ends meet with their 2 or 3 jobs, that they have more quality leisure time than high-level executives in some financial company, a Bay Area software engineer making nearly 6-figures or rich celebrities who took their daughter, and all her friends to Paris for her sweet 16 birthday-party, bought her a car and had Justin Timerlake perform live with a song written just for her....

Maybe I am being overly nit-picky here but I feel the last paragraph completely contradicts the rest of your comment.

At first you claim that will power can overcome a lack of passion but then you say that will power can't help you if you are dispassionate/bored.
Given this poll is on HN, where there appears to be a heavy bias towards start-ups, MVPs, and so on, I would have bet my house that the biggest response here by far would be Web or Web-related technologies.

Whether the wider industry would follow the same pattern is a different question. I doubt anything like as many people here develop embedded software, but I bet most of them have a washing machine, microwave oven, digital watch, car...

Well, it's not just in our industry. Alcohol is basically not treated as a drug by society. But its abuse have consecuences as bad as any other "hard" drug.

"Clad in nothing but underwear, he was suffering from uncontrollable hiccups and burdened by a horribly swollen stomach." While some internal organs were destroyed and he was slowly dying. Terrible.

That said, if not alcohol he would have found something else. The problem was not the drug itself.
This relates to the website, but maybe there should be malware warnings for programming languages too ;-)
Now that is one terse but powerful anecdote.
I think it also depends on the person. People learn things at different rates.
