You act like there's some significant difference between moving money around for a large corporation and moving data around for another large corporation.

How can you understand what's valuable in tech if you can't even understand what's valuable in life. Having your parents being forced to move so you can't see them when they get old, putting off having kids until you might not be able to or giving up the job you love because you got sick. This isn't your opinion on Facebook vs. Snapchat, it's real life shit.
One of the great things about being a geek was that you didn't have to blatantly accept society's stupidity. I guess no one could really foresee the magnitude of eternal september.

It's not like there is a lack of opportunities outside of SV, every techie went there by their own choice. If they can't handle having their ride to work disrupted once in a while, maybe it's time to leave when there's still some dignity left. But hey I guess there's some online petition they can all sign, I heard it worked great in regards to the Snowden revelation. Happy fucking brogramming.
It sounds so true. The it's the other way round. They have the prestige to talk and if you don't, you have to do it. At the end of the day, no doing, no talking. As a startup, we have to do both.

What war?

I was a defense contractor during the Cold War, a scary time in many ways.

It profoundly troubles me that the military intelligence complex is acting like we are still in the Cold War. The world changes and things done in the past are often not the rigt things to do in the present and future. This is a brittle mindset, looking at the past and not the current situation.

I think the Pashtuns we fired warning shots at my disagree with you. When they got to close to us and didn't stop despite loud verbal warnings we fired warning shots, they knew that meant stay away or get shot. Life's dangerous, it's all fine and dandy to pretend to quote the book, but its not that simple and when it's down a second before you have to shoot someone because they might be a walking bomb and you instead fire a warning shot, you just saved two lives. Say what you want about what the text book says, a warning shot isn't lethal.

How else would you pay for the censors that comb through your emails before allowing them to be sent?
i think both of you are on the same side of the argument. If i got you correctly, you mean to say that Congressmen DESERVE a higher level of clearance than the NSA itself. The congress SHOULD be able to ask for any information and thus gain access to it. Did i get that right?

If i did, then your parent seems to want the same thing. He means that "there are 535 people in congress" is a bad defense.

Though i might have gotten you incorrectly and you might have meant that you cant say "but NSA employees have access! The congress should have it too!" Because giving access to congress is different to giving access to NSA employees as Congrees needs a VERY high level clearance to all 535 members, and that in the NSA itself, the actual number of people who have that kind of access would be very small.
I don't necessarily agree with the thesis of the post you're responding to, but your example is personal privacy on the part of someone who happens to hold office, not a state secret.
I was all excited with myself for passing the first one after the tutorial and then couldn't get past the second...though I've been drinking.

>People have to move from the neighborhood they've known for decades with good facilities and schools

SF does not have an abundance of good public schools. It's not atypical for families with school-aged children to move to the suburbs to afford their children a decent education.

> ...to an area considerably further away from the job market

But it's the techies with the disposable income who are creating a significant amount of the jobs the blue collar workers seek. The benefits from having people with disposable income is not extricable from the people themselves. Else you can have Detroit. That's the end-game.

I don't know of there being a 'right' to live in a particular place. Such that I would have a 'right' to live in Berkeley --whether I could afford it or not. Or Oslo, or London.

Why don't we see people clamoring against the 1%-er actors and actresses in Hollywood? I think people in LA understand that these free spenders benefit the local economy when they spend their money like there is no tomorrow. If the overwealthy actors and actresses in Hollywood didn't spend their monies, then that _would_ be a problem. There's be no infusion into the local economy.
And take it from me, even if it does happen, you will probably regret it while you're vesting.

AFAIK, those buses aren't operated by the companies themselves, but by external transportation companies as contractors. What would you make illegal, "don't take Google as a customer"?

50GB free for 3 months a year and then $10 per 50GB over... how very reasonable. The typical ISP in Australia "shapes" down to between 128-512kpbs. I've thankfully never experienced it, but I dread the day.

If the topic here is HTML injection, that's pretty creepy. What else are they using that technology for? Surely the cost isn't justifiable purely for excess usage notifications.

That's why police officers aren't Judge Dredd. It's really a character question whether a police officer subjects someone to defending themselves in a case like this, especially as part of a speeding ticket. Wait until there's an accident or something where it might play a role. That is, if they can keep their ego in check.
You are wrong. They spin off the tech that they do want to commercialize. E.g., Brain use to be part of X, but now it's its own group. Same with Glass.
I am going to counter this advice, and say first thing you do is gauge interest, start the conversations, let them push for it. When things are obviously starting to solidify and are getting serious, then consult with an attorney.

I just went through this situation last year, and while taking legal advice early on is good, it's very easy for lawyers to get their share of money. If you already have a relationship with a lawyer, sit down with them for an hour and get an overview, but don't have them do anything like draft documents, review dialogue, etc. They'll want to do these things (billable hours) but they'll just cost you a ton, when 95% of the time the deal isn't going to happen anyway.
Given that the greatest challenge to JavaScript testing is the browser environment, it'd be worthwhile to mention Zombie.js (simulated DOM) and PhantomJS/CasperJS (V8). Code organization is also important for any large codebases, which is often addressed with browserify or RequireJS.
> However, I don't see distress at getting fired or forced to move out of the neighbourhood in which you grew up as an illegitimate reason for protest.

Maybe I'm just speaking for myself, but the house I grew up in is owned by my grandparents, so no one can ever force them off their own property (or me, if I wanted to live there). IMHO, it's stupid to complain that you can't rent someone else's property forever, and that they're throwing you out for a better deal. Rent is supposed to be short-term (or at least that's how it is in my country).

Hopefully the latest batches have per-device unique keys (based on some centrally-known KDF) so a compromise of one doesn't re-enable such an exploit.

Yes, that's how it works.
A Go string is an immutable opaque sequence of bytes. It is conventionally UTF-8, but it does not have to be. The only place in the language that cares is if you range over a string, but even there non-UTF-8 strings are supported.
I'm not saying you're wrong. But we have to get realistic here, OpenBSD is not going to turn into Canonical, not overnight, maybe not ever. I'm sure we would all love for it to suddenly sprout a bedside manner, but it probably won't, and you or me sitting around saying it needs one isn't helpful.

What we can rely on it being is technologically awesome. What else can you say that about? If you try to change the culture of OpenBSD, assuming that's even possible, the quality will inevitably suffer.

Could you honestly say you'd prefer OpenBSD to be more like Ubuntu?
They also use the HTML injection (which I assume is why this was posted to HN) for the "five strikes" "Copyright Alerts" bullshit too; if you have an allegation flung against you, all of your HTML will have a Comcast popup injected into it until the account owner logs in and acknowledges that they were bad.

As an aside, check out the "Flexible Data Option" linked from that page for some other laughs - a $5 discount to drop your quota from 300 GB to 5, and also your overages suddenly become five times more expensive ($1/GB vs. $.20/GB). That's some nice math.

Local businesses are finding ways to stick it to franchises by participating in Creatively Smart Marketing’s “Disloyalty Card Program”

Creatively Smart Marketing leaders in cloud-based experiential and guerilla marketing services in the Southeastern and Midwestern United States has recently announced its “Disloyalty Card Program” in Chicago, IL and Atlanta, Georgia.

In keeping with its experiential marketing tradition, Creatively Smart Marketing has recently introduced its

Chicago Disloyalty Card Program
Join our Disloyalty Card Program
“Disloyalty Card Program” to local Chicago and Atlanta retailers. The disloyalty card program is designed to keep consumers from going to more established franchise businesses like Starbucks and Dunkin’ Donuts and instead coming to local businesses by offering consumers free stuff,” said Martez Knox, Managing Partner at Creatively Smart Marketing.

Creatively Smart Marketing, which is providing the cards and administering the program invites retailers to re-establish their ties with local customers. The program and it’s social media component enables businesses to encourage repeat business. Allowing retailers to grow their revenue and their brand.

“Retailers are responding to our “Disloyalty Card Program” with enthusiasm, Knox said.

I've worked a lot in assembly, but never tried to exploit anything before. This is like crack.

I've always been meaning to try out a few public problem sets of this sort that a couple university security courses publish. Theirs are often based on a VM image with various binaries inside them that you are supposed to exploit. While those would probably have the advantage of being slightly more relevant to my everyday work (since they're running a Linux OS/environment more like the one I regularly use and program for), this contest makes it much easier to get over the hump of setting everything up, and of course the points/competition aspect is highly motivating.

Nicely done. :)
I was hopeful when Mayer took over Yahoo that she could turn the company around. However, with each passing day and the Yahoo home page continues to feature irritating ads with zooming cars and flying coke cans, my hopes are starting to fade.

Putting marketing in charge of journalism is probably a bad move but worse is the poaching of mainstream, old-school talent from the NYT or NBC. If we have learned nothing from the internet it is that interesting, intelligent commentary and opinion does not necessarily originate with the NYT. The trick is to find the untapped talent out there, the writers with a fresh view and who are not committed to the old ways and give them a voice, assuming you want to make Yahoo into a media giant on par with the NYT. But it starts with new voices not repackaged old voices who had a lock on the channels of communication for decades for historical and accidental reasons not merit.

I'll add to that...

Technical Debt = When you coded without thinking AND your project is successful and growing. It's debt because now you have to go back and fix/change the code.

Technical Grant = When you coded without thinking BUT your project is NOT successful and fails. It's a grant because it saved you time.

Most projects / startups fail so for most people "Just Do It" works better. Plus the product you envision is almost never the product you end up with. So all that thinking you invested can be a waste of time.

Ask HN: I am a US Citizen and I own a Canadian Corp and a US LLC ..Tax advice?
So I run a company by myself that has a physical and legal presence in both the US and Canada. (Business Banking, address, merchant processing, etc). The Canadian company is a Corp, the US entity is an LLC (Washington State). I am a US citizen who recently relocated from Canada back to the US.

I have no idea what I'm doing re: tax. My first year I stumbled through filing a net loss in Canada. Now that I'm doing significant money, I'm looking for some high level advice. One of my main questions is how to declare money that I've drawn from the Canadian company for living expenses. Since I can't legally work in Canada, I'm guessing it has to be a dividend. I don't want to get double taxed either.. the money is pretty substantial.

Thank you for any pointers. This is a bootstrapped business, so hiring the kind of accountant I would need to handle international tax seems too prohibitive.

The concept of tenure is definitely somewhat controversial, but it is incredibly difficult and rare to fire tenured professors. I doubt you could cite many if any examples of professors losing tenure because they're not publishing. (Although sure professors who don't publish probably won't receive tenure in the first place)

Well, his implication was that if you're talking on the phone to somebody the phone company knows (or if you just sent a text, for example).
Someone also raised the point that Noordhuis is not a native English speaker, and his native tongue uses gendered nouns to begin with. Someone with that experience is probably less likely to see a problem with the concept of gendered nouns. While it's common for the Dutch to speak several languages, English is the only one I am aware of that doesn't gender nouns.

The irony is that if Joyent had've shown the empathy they demand, they might have allowed some leeway for error, and strove to have done better next time. I was significantly disappointed in that Joyent blog post. Hopefully Cantrill has learned his lesson and next time will seek to heal rifts rather than exacerbate them. It's actually still not too late to use the same channel - the commercial blog - to do a mea culpa apology and promise to be more reserved in future.
Since when is a 375 person class massive?

I'm all for what Udacity, Coursera, and others are trying to do, but there have been proper online universities such as the Open University doing this for years with hundreds of types of degrees, and with bigger classes.
