If you set out to hire great engineers and have the resources and reputation, it can be done. Definitely a good choice over MBA types, but it seems to me that Facebook could stand to diversify their employees as Facebook is a mass market product and engineers often don't see the social world or the internet as the average person perceives it.
Why did I get a downvote? I said nerd was GOOD. And it's in no way an endemically racist term that needs to just be removed from the language no matter how much owning of the term can be done.
Awesome, I reread that post and it seemed a little prickish, sorry. I've been there with a site not working, it sucks and I shouldn't have blasted away in public comments.
I assume this is the exact logic they used to evict Luddites from factories.
Same here, I like the look and sound of React and was not aware of it previously. The funky XML-like syntax seems appealing, but then, I thought that about Scala too and that didn't turn out super well for me.
You've totally gone off the rails in this comment. The point is we can draw a line between commodities whose creation involves (a) people using their bodies in ways which vary from completely fine and consensual to coercion/slavery/illegal abuse, and (b) people working in bad conditions. In category (a) we have, e.g. porn and prostitution. In category (b), we have dildos, t-shirts and cell phones. There will be important discussions to be had about categories (a) and (b), but those discussions will be different.
It's not really a strawman to say that shuttles take cars off the road because Googlers commuted from the city to Silicon Valley by car before the shuttle program existed. In fact, it started as a 20% project in response to the annoying commute.
Yes it is. They literally threw a rock at the window, shattering glass all over. That could easily have hurt an employee.

That exception is only during the last 20 years of the term of copyright. The copyright extension was for 20 years, so basically the exception kept the old rules for libraries on stuff that wasn't commercially exploitable.

It's possible that the magazines were published without a copyright notice; and the works were not registered. It wasn't until March 1st 1989 that published works were automatically granted copyright. It's also quite possible that the owners of the rights have granted distribution rights to the Internet Archive; that is common too.
For one thing, nobody could agree what it should be named...

> "RSA always acts in the best interest of its customers and under no circumstances does RSA design or enable any back doors in our products. Decisions about the features and functionality of RSA products are our own."

This means one of two things: Either this is a blatant lie by RSA, or RSA is not competent enough to evaluate cryptograpic algorithms. Neither possibility paints them in a favorable light.

Thanks for the web site links! Both are pretty interesting and I actually learned something from the detailed description(s) that regex101 provides.

I've been using this in ubuntu (ctrl-alt-v in keepassx). It covers most of the sites I use, and works with minimal extra effort.

I originally looked at Lastpass, but it seemed 'too' easy. Decryption is done client side via javascript, but what happens if someone hacks into Lastpass's server, and modifies the code to send the user's entered password to their server?
The thing is in the 90s everyone (oligarchs) was playing below board. But Putin only targeted (for prosecution) people who opposed him (or were potential threats). People who were willing to subjugate to him, of course, didn't face charges. I'd rather you not try to compare Borodin with Khodorkovsky. It diverts from the discussion the strongarming politics in Russia.
No the point is that it's far more complex than that.
Facebook highlights top moments from your friends in 2013
When Telegram showed their product on HN a few days ago, they were given constructive criticism and asked to justify the way they implemented their system. They responded by bragging about how many mathematics PHDs worked on the product.

Not satisfied at leaving it there, they then claimed that their crypto system doesn't need to be justified, because their customers aren't concerned about the specifics of their implementation of known broken algorithms.

Finally, they placed the burden of proof on the public, which doesn't work when it comes to cryptography.

They were given the opportunity to explain their design decisions in an environment of mutual respect, and they responded to this offer by stonewalling two of HN's resident security gurus.

So what happens if someone wants to embed C++ in the HTML in your C++ comments? (or just in general, having an early */ in your embedded HTML may cause problems.)
Who is the 'you' in this case? The original author? The person who submitted it? The people who upvoted it? You have to give us something to work with here :-).

Research done while watching peoples brains at work is always interesting even if the veracity of the brain scan technique is dubious.

It is always interesting to ask people how they like to be managed, when you aren't their manager, because one presumes they give more honest answers.
So we should never disagree with anyone? And when should a person change? When someone tells them to or when they realize their convictions may not be right?

I remember looking over EMC's acquisitions when all of this starting breaking. EMC acquisitions just read like someone building a surveillance system: RSA, multiple deep packet inspection companies, enterprise clustered postgres, elitigation, forensics and threat analysis, Government-risk-analysis... and if you google around you'll see they kept their investments as secret as they could.

https://angel.co/emc

EMC bought every single major corporate partner technology in 2009/2010. EMC is the private honeypot for the entire program. The corporate store is EMC and only EMC. EMC and EMC ventures can go to hell for building this, knowing about it, and continually profiting from it. Profit from investment in a partner of an illegal government program specifically designed to make illegal money from human rights violations should be considered illegal. All of the major money behind EMC knew what was going on. If you did a private benefit analysis, it would be all EMC. Thank you. =)
Or maybe they're just adeptly managing you?

Twitter Turns Ugly Over PR Person's Idiotic Tweet

Thanks for your reply. As someone who does live in San Francisco, and has lived here for a decade, I would like to encourage discussion of this topic, as I think both sides of the issue can be doing more talking about solutions, rather than the tech world which is mostly ignoring the problem, and the protestors whom don't have a clear message or agenda outlined.
Everything alright?
Basically there are two kinds of sales: high value/reasoned/important/logical sales, and impulse/low value/time limited/etc. sales.

You address fundamental objections when dealing with a "real" client, and any attempts at deflection or subterfuge will be net-harmful. The only "trick" is knowing about internal champions and the customer's multi-person purchasing process (when the user isn't the buyer and/or doesn't have ultimate purchase authority in a single person).

For random impulse shit, you can trick people. Used car dealers define the upper bound of bullshit for deal size. Generally few substantial purchasing decisions by educated (i.e. business or professional) buyers happen like that, but if you're selling a product on late night tv, you can minimize and bypass objections through trickery, "sell the sizzle", etc.

Neil Rackham's SPIN Selling and Major Account Sales Strategy are the best books I've ever found on sales.

I am an ex heroin addict who lied and cheated and took advantage of people. I've been completely clean for a year an a half, and people still treat me like I'm the same person. Which is annoying at times, and I feel like some of the people around me will never change their opinion regardless of what I do.
This post got me thinking about my old hobbies as a high schooler in the late 80s and I remembered war dialing. It was trilling to come home after school and see what my dailer had discovered while I was away. With a few weeks of dialing, I covered all of prefixes in my local exchange. Found a back door into my high school's library (but never could guess or shoulder-surf the password, sadly) and found a terminal server at the local university where I could telnet out without any authentication.

I was just now googling around for war dialers and came across this:

Looks pretty awesome and supports SIP/IAX2. I may have to give it a shot. Surely there are still some interesting back doors out there.

Khitchdee seeks musician-programmer alpha testers
Khitchdee, an Indian high tech startup is releasing Inck, a tool designed to help programmers build software agents. The tool has been designed with those programmers in mind who are also musicians. The tool incorporates the element of rhythm in its interface which makes the activity of programming similar to playing music as you have to keep track of the rhythm. On Jan 14th, 2014, we will be releasing an alpha version of Inck which will be followed, one year later, by a public release. Access to the alpha is by invitation only and for this we seek programmers who are also musicians. If you are one, email me at rohit@khitchdee.com

>After playing around with syllables, he came up with "dymaxion" as a good brand name that fit the way Fuller talked.

I wonder if the word smith facetiously chose this word because it sounds really stupid. After all, the way that Fuller makes up his own words makes him sound like a raving idiot. Don't get me wrong, he was undoubtedly a really smart guy, but his personality and mannerisms detract from that.
The precedent for this was set in Australia in 1975, and certainly other places before that.
I'm as against the NSA's activities as anybody can be, but I don't think this is a fair statement.

> their goal has been to strive for less secure systems and more difficult standards

I don't think, specifically, that they're looking for weaker standards. Weaker standards would allow for competing governments to have just as much access as the NSA does. I think they'd prefer stronger standards, but that they _still have the key to_.

In short, I don't think they want cheaper locks, they want better locks, and master keys.

Edit: Everything else you said is spot-on.
criticizing: You are not performing very well at your job.

disagreeing: You're wrong, you fucking retard.

Summery: "instead of criticizing someone, ask them about their dreams"

What if your dreams are flawed? Nearly everyone's dreams are flawed. The world never works in the way you'd image it to. My mother's harsh criticism of my life's decisions is actually what ended up turning around my life. Harsh reality was not only necessary but the only way out of my endless fantasizing and dreaming.

I can understand and agree that positive reinforcement is better than negative criticism but that's assuming the subject eventually found something positive to do. At some point you either sit around and wait until something positive is done so you can praise it, or you suggest positive actions (which is a subtle indirect form of criticism).
This article criticizes people who express criticism.

The protesters are professional activists, the progressive's progressive. They're not impugning the morals of tech workers. They probably called their colleague in activism at the sex worker's support organisation and asked if they wanted to come to the protest.

Why Your Name Matters
Oppo has made some nifty, extremely useful, very high quality, just-on-the-edge of legit (read: you can disable region coding easily) DVD players for years. I really like their stuff, and thus would have very high expectations for this phone. It's really nice to see their name on it.
Absurd. Google MTV employees would not move out of San Francisco or away from Piedmont street in Oakland if you took the busses away. People have been commuting by car from San Francisco to Mountain View and Santa Clara since the dotcom bubble.

Meanwhile: by paying employees who own and maintain property in Oakland, Google is in fact providing part of the tax base for Oakland. Every other city in the country understands this and their mayors and city councils practically puke on their shoes trying to get big employers to move in. When big employers leave cities or go under, it devastates the economy. It does not take a degree in econ to understand why.

Income inequality is a real thing. Starving cities that are already under immense financial pressure of tax revenues does nothing to solve it.

But, like I said: opportunity to fuck up a bus. How do you pass that up?

Not to dismiss an interesting study, but it only seems to address the emotional response to criticism. When giving or receiving criticism in a work environment, there is likely to be a rational response of equal or even greater importance. At the very least, an employee who receives criticism will perform some sort of rough mental calculation to determine things like:

1. Is the criticism valid?

2. Is it threatening?

These calculations may be influenced, not only by how you deliver the message, but by what information has already been revealed to the employee -- by your behavior, by the corporate history and culture, and by the employee's general knowledge of business trends.
OpenWorm brings simulated life one step closer with ‘real’ digital muscles
You disagree, but then you have to think what you really want to happen. If you want that person to change her point of view, it's probable that even if you are completely right with facts backing your possition you will not achieve it just by telling them that they are right.
But you don't have to give them the reason either, while usually people rise defenses as a way to protect their self from an "agression", you are able to modify and change their ideas with indirect methods. One way is not talking directly about it but showing the correct way. That way the other person will see what you do and maybe will change voluntarily one she realizes that your method is superior. Another way is telling a story where the topic is touched indirectly, talking about another person and the results of her actions, but not as an example but as if trying to explain another topic.
