It's a domain name that no one wants, ergo one might presume that the twitter handle is equally undesirable?
Do you think that protesting a Google bus is a better usage of time for the unemployed than, say, improving one's marketable skills are applying for jobs?
> I am not generally a believer in the theory that NSA actively subverts Internet standards†. But even I think that it's crazy for an NSA employee to chair the CFRG.

I am uncomfortable with the NSA / GCHQ being that closely tied to the standards process.

I'm much happier when they're noodling away with research in the background and providing support to universities.

An example: GCHQ invented PK before Diffie and Hellman. They invented RSA before RSA did. They kept both of these secret for many years. GCHQ's RSA was not revealed until 24 years later. (About 20 years after RSA had been in use).

So, secret government spy agencies keep secrets. I think this is as alarming as secret government spy agencies spy. While they might not actively subvert crypto standards would they allow weaknesses to be implemented without comment?
I thought about doing mockups for the post, but decided it was already long enough as it was. I may break each one down into mockups still though and post them.
The fact that "signed out" and "signed in" are opposites is not a logical fact; there's no general inference from "not p_out" to "p_in".

If you had "outside" and went from !outside?" to "inside?", that would be erroneous (you could also be on the threshold).

ETA: this is especially obvious for trusted/untrusted; it doesn't have to be the case that every ip is either positively trusted or positively untrusted. If, in some application, it is binary in that way, then you can, in that case, go from not untrusted to trusted. But that isn't justified by purely logical considerations.

ETA again, in fact a better example is this, it's not a logical fact that if you flip a coin and it comes up not-heads, it has come up tails. (Even ignoring improbably things like its landing on its side.) That's a conclusion that is justified by knowledge of the substantive domain of coins.
> "Think of the excellent restaurants, concert venues, boutiques, bars, etc. that exist in Oakland now--that's first wave gentrification. Those people are also historically more aware of their surroundings and the culture that they are moving into and tend to show solidarity with the lower income residents that they are paving the way towards displacement for. On the other hand, the second wave of gentrifiers tends to dramatically increase the cost of living, rate of displacement, and tends to care very little about the plight of their fellow citizens."

First wave? Only if you define "first wave" to coincide with the current discussion. There was a wave of bio-tech (e.g Genentech) shortly before the "tech" (e.g Google) wave.

This goes back all the way to the founding of California, the state. The '49ers were the first wave. Since then there has been a sadly repeating history of picking on a group to blame for any ill in society - usually racist - but it appears this time around it's a soft target.
Missing from the list is Phabricator (http://phabricator.org/). We've started using it recently and found it to be fantastic.
Ok, but the test results from the PISA will be a combination of factors: a certain portion attributable to familiarity with the content, a certain portion attributable to general IQ, a certain portion attributable to teaching methods, a certain proportion attributable to societal factors (urbanisation/distribution of wealth), and a certain portion attributed to general strategies and cultural familiarity in a testing environment.

An obsession with testing would most certainly explain a statistical bump, but I imagine neither you nor I can accurately attribute how much each of those things contributes to the PISA score of each country.

Now if i really wanted to be culturally insensitive, i'd add in a portion for preponderance to cheat to show themselves in a good light. But good luck ever getting governments together to try to accurately measure that...
I use one of these tokens for work. Spying is one thing but destroying encryption is another evil thing to do. If the NSA has introduced bugs in crypto then who's to say someone else can exploit the same crypto.

I'd like to see the intermediate steps between "security of the person" and legalizing pimping.

It would also be mildly alarming to learn that the SC consists of "very experienced jurists with great respect for the rule of law and jurisprudence" only "for the most part".
Ultimately, the issue comes down to housing supply - a problem created both by long-time locals and municipal governments. It's the same exact story in other places, particularly here in Manhattan. Would this problem exist if the number of apartments/houses kept up with the number of people who wanted them? There are answers to this dilemma, but they are politically unpalatable to many. See a previous comment of mine for more:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6549063

Short version: build a lot more, and put a regulation in place to keep the "look" of the new buildings similar/the same to the current neighborhood/buildings being replaced.

People want to live in these places. People need to be near jobs. People will avoid commuting if they can. People want to be near cultural institutions. Many people want to be near lots of other people. Look at the housing shortage in North Dakota - before the energy boom, no shortage. People move in because of jobs - shortage, and very high prices. In that case, building, rather than policies did not keep up (there are answers here as well, particularly prefab / modular housing.)

The number of people in cities (particularly large ones, but smaller ones as well) continues to grow (again, see link.) Our policies (in particular) need to adjust.
Maybe I was maybe others were. We are not saying NSA employees should not feel bad for what they did, for following orders. I am arguing that when someone is titled NSA employee, the first instinct is "I don't like this guy and I don't him near me" when all he wanted to do was to say Hi my name is Bob and I had this interesting problem I want to solve with you guys."

And to those who left NSA either because they hate it or because they realize it was wrong.

So if the solution is to be snowden, declare publicly that he does not endorse NSA, it is the equivalent to saying "you must face a public trial, you must tell the world you do not and will not endorse nsa anymore upon exit." Everyone ought to be a hero.

I do understand the institutional constraint. If all NSA employees rage quit today, will we just forgive them? But that is not going to happen, for various reasons.
I don't think this fiasco is related to the tokens but yes the tokens has other problems such that it didn't need NSA to break it.
The article title was clearer conditionals using DeMorgan's Law - to that end, the article illustrated how to move to that step for cleaner code through first applying the law.
Very few applications need "big" (in this case: > 2^53) integers.

So far, I only needed them once. I ported a big int micro benchmark a few months ago. Kinda meta. Not sure if that really counts.
I'm seeing a lot of vitriol and generalizations in this thread. It's understandable to be upset about this, but automatically assuming that the protesters are "lazy trustafarians" leeching off of the tech community is not a mindset that is helpful to anybody. If anything, it just escalates the situation. The approach we should be taking is: what is the problem, why are people upset, how do we solve it. Of course smashing the Google bus is not a productive way to protest. But the tech community needs to take the high road, not the low road. Making sweeping generalizations only creates more anger and thus makes the situation worse.
What the sign clearly means is "no [members of the set] food and drink."
Looks like the link was updated to the original source.
Being a soft and easy target has to be part of it. It stands to reason that people who smash bus windows are the same people who used to beat up nerds at school when they were children. Some people set themselves up for a life of shit from the get go and never bother to change course.
Well, it would be easy enough to shoehorn me into that group (I never actually got around to attending Burning Man, but I have a lot of roots in the 90s SF rave scene, for example), and to me he's critiquing the sort of people who treat their membership of certain affiliate group(s) as a justification for self-indulgent behavior that comes at others' expense.

I don't see any point in making this into a long spiraling subthread that only the two of us will read, so let me stop here by asking you to consider some other interpretations of the original comment besides the worst one. It might have been worded a bit better but as a fellow resident of Oakland I share the writer's frustration with the local 'revolutionaries.'
Our main struggle was finding clients to use our hosted version of the software. As we quickly found out, no company wants to have important client information living on a different server. We really didn't like having to create a new branch of our software, then deal with all the licensing involved of it being installed on a remote server we didn't control. In the end, open sourcing was the best option available.

Tru dat (I'm feeling more youthful already, saying something like 'tru dat'), most of these networking things will not workout, but most of anything doesn't work out, maybe you have to do 100 for that 1% chance of a chance. Yes, the kinds of alcohol-based meetings your talking about aren't the best. I'd recommend instead the educational meetings, like user groups where people are giving talks showing off their latest use of X technology. E.G an arduino group, a python group, a goggles group, whatever tech floats your boat. The people in those kinds of meetups, in my experience, are more than not serious about the tech and not just looking for a drink.

Another thing I didn't mention is the personal email to someone at some company, being honest about some real connection why you and them should be together, not in response to a job listing but just in response to why you'd think they're a good fit, or praising them honestly on something they do. I at least tend to get responses, if nothing else, from these outside-the-box attempts.
That describes a huge fraction of today's protestors and activists,

A rather untenable assertion, based on my own lengthy and up-close observation of e.g. Occupy at its peak.
Yeah - people shouldn't complain - they should just shut up and get a job that pays them a 6 figure salary and provides an air conditioned luxury coach to take them to work.
The issues appear to be symptoms of the gamification employed by the site. There are users with high scores that are eager to protect their position, and dominance of their particular subject area. These users are putting their scores on their resumes and online profiles to advance their careers. You could create your own new stack overflow site focused on helping beginners.
Unix communicates via text, stdin stdout stderr. That's pretty much a standard.

Windows PowerShell communicates with typed objects. COM components and .NET components are a Windows standard way of communicating between software parts. COM has been around for a long time.

Between computers, TCP/IP is a standard way of communicating. But without good documentation of the protocol adding an HTTP layer on top makes it easier to understand. But without good documentation of the protocol RESTful APIs makes it easier to understand. But without good documentation of the protocol WADL...

However I do agree about HTTP. Because I imagine there are more devs that understand HTTP than higher or lower protocols.

Can't agree more - I volunteer at an after school programme in Harlem. It connected me with a driven, intelligent 2nd grader who couldn't concentrate because three square meals a day were beyond his family's budget. That pisses one off enough to find real solutions, not duck for political cover.
I can't believe Putin turned him loose, honestly. That guy has got to be dangerous. He has had nothing to do for several years but sit around stewing about how to put one over on Putin. Should be interesting to see what happens next.
Who said there is no problem? Not me. I'm aware and upset about many of the same problems. However, I think smashing bus windows under presumption that those inside are uniquely responsible for the problems sends the conversation backwards, not forwards.
What confuses you the most about CSS3?

They can often claim ownership of personal work you do at your own home. So yes.
I agree. The reason people think ideas are "a dime a dozen" is because everyone overrates their ideas and you can't really measure the value of an idea unless it's executed. However, I must admit that after years of experience I must say the statement is not really true. 80% of the ideas suck. Plain and simple.

It doesn't matter if you are in the Valley or if you are super smart, some people are not made to create/innovate, only execute based on someone's idea. But those people who are able to create are an exception.

Have you ever met someone without a degree or any experience, looking at your product and telling you 100 ways to improve it?I met a guy/wonderkid or whatever that was able to do just that, and he is working for a hedge fund now as far as I know.

He basically humiliated my A+ employee stars who were struggling for months.I was shocked.

Yeah - all political protest that uses modern technology is automatically hypocritical.

Because Google makes a useful product, they are above any kind of criticism.
And a super-easy place to start, techies, is making sure that the janitorial/cafeteria/security staff you've contracted to work with are paid at least reasonably. "Living wage" can be hard to compute in the overheated Bay economy, but at least don't be screwing them with 35-hour-per-week jobs with no benefits. This is something that your own company can influence.
Serious question: Is there an alternative? I've never seen a secure fob that wasn't from RSA.
More specifically, it was RSA's "BSAFE" product which is problematic and was paid to be a default.

It seems obvious this is the same group that obstructed a Google bus in SF earlier this month. Protesting Google from the vantage point of a privileged SF resident wasn't sufficiently sympthetic, so they're cloaking themselves in the very real oppression and problems still crushing West Oakland. Shameful.

People bringing their protests to Oakland is nothing new (like the black bloc protests during Occupy). I've been living in my Oakland neighborhood for about 9 years. On my block, that makes me the newcomer. I don't speak for Oakland and neither do these protestors or whoever contributed that article.
No, it sounds like no product from any American company can be trusted as long as the current regime is in place.

At least that's the message that comes through loud and clear in the rest of the world.
I don't care about the legitimacy of their cause - violent thugs like the author and his fellow protestors being in jail.

Call me a libertarian, but I believe I have the right to be safe and not be attacked. In the twisted mindset of the author, I imagine that the impact that tech employees have on house prices is morally equivalent to violence. However people who believe in rule of law rather than mob rule should be able to see through this.

That's a good technical point about the vocabulary - it's poisonous but to very specific species. I should have said not poisonous to humans.

Regardless of how people feel, the need to use toxic pesticides and insecticides are a huge problem in agriculture and Roundup-ready and Bt crops tackle those problems.

Next-generation GM crops will be much more geared towards disease and salt/drought stress resistance.

So which words should you use to differentiate between female-to-male no-op and male-to-female no-op (she-male and he-female respectively)?

I'm partially asking because I'm curious as to what is the term preferred by the transsexuals, and partially because I feel that words are descriptive and hence void of emotional connotation, which should instead be inferred from the context in which the words are used.
Part of it is different schools of legal thought. In America there is a significant legal tradition of "textualists' who try to read US constitutional documents literally and in a narrow focus.

Canada, for various cultural and political reasons both pre and post Charter of Rights and Freedoms has a much stronger tradition of 'living tree' constitutionalism that sees constitutional documents as able to grow and change as the values of a society change over time.
One that has been done, fwiw. https://about.me/
>Unprofessional because we put the government's fault onto an employee's fault. Let's take a secretary.

I suggest reading and considering Hannah Arendt's famous work, "Eichmann in Jerusalem: A Report on the Banality of Evil" for a different perspective on this.

Our typical idea of a perpetrator of evil is this malicious, moustache-twirling, cackling super-villain. The reality of how very evil acts are perpetrated is typically much different, though. It has more in common with what we see with the Milgram experiment: lots of small cogs doing highly compartmentalized, abstract work that simply adds up to something ghastly. Paper-pushers who simply "do their jobs" without bothering to examine or take responsibility for the ethical implications of their work output, preferring instead to shift that ethical responsibility to the superiors/authorities who handed down their orders.
We might be talking past each other. I'm saying - yes, the burden should be on current and former NSA employees to explain why they're trustworthy. People can set their standard of "acceptable explanation" however they like - however, I feel strongly that someone who worked for a deeply compromised institution, should bear the burden of explaining.

When Bob just wants to introduce himself and people say "You worked for the NSA? Go away, spy" -- that is a sign that effective social punishment of the NSA - the institution - is taking place. I see you worrying about the scenario where no amount of explanation Bob can give is enough to get him in the door. That's fine. But I'm arguing that Bob should have to do some explaining, and I'm arguing that if you do want the NSA - the institution - to suffer effective consequences, then you must accept that individual members will also face some gnarly consequence, because that's how institutions in a social context work. You cannot meaningfully punish the institution without also punishing its members. It does raise moral issues, yes - but if you have already decided, "we must punish the institution," then you fatally compromise that goal by adding a lily-livered "but let's not make things too hard for the members."
I fully agree with you. But I think grown up nerds are far more successful and powerful than their highschool bullies counterparts. I am more afraid of good people turning into vendetta seekers because of this (your comment kind of resonates to what I am foreseeing as plausible outcome).
