Software and a film script are a bit different though. If source becomes available, anyone can compile and use it. I'm not sure it's fair to the developer if he wrote that code with the intention of selling it and now it's available for free, but at least it's still available. Producing a movie, on the other hand, is well outside of most people's financial capability, and this leak might prevent people who would be capable of turning the script into a film from doing so.
Some keycards are even completely disposable (paper / cardboard), though most of them are reprogrammable (plastic). I've seen hotel personnel swipe the card to grant me access to my room (with a new and/or unique key, etc.)
That's fine, if it was the point of protesting Ukrainians. They are protesting something else (corruption of all politicians, including Janukovic and Klicko).

In the US, a pension is traditionally considered a scheme by which you receive a lifetime stipend from a company upon retirement after working for a set number of years. A 401k is a contributory 'pension', but the word 'pension' just has a different social connotation in the US.

Bitcoin blockchain is public and can be partially de-anonymized.

Everybody will see addresses where you spend your donated bitcoins:

http://blockchain.info/address/1NkM7WekyZe6KoHYoyWX8s2YZXZjU...

Similarly anybody who receives bitcoins spent by IT Itch will be able to see addresses where they got bitcoins from, and that may include bitcoin address of the person you bought bitcoins from.

I guess that mass blockchain de-anonimization may be a big business (or NSA side-project) in the future, so I suggest "laundering" bitcoins for anonymity too (find somebody who will swap wallets with you, so you get coins with completely irrelevant history and no trace of that swap in the blockchain).
The point is the filter the western media uses to vilify Yanukovych for passing laws that exist everywhere in the western world.
What's that supposed to accomplish? It's the parliament that passed the anti-protest laws and other bad laws the people didn't agree with. People want re-election, not just a different government under the same parliamentary structure.
so interesting, such opportunity! wow! to the moon!
problem is your local isp sees you using Tor, so have to run tails in a VM and on the host tunnel all traffic through Jondo or something.
So what? An unreasonable sentence is an unreasonable sentence. Your logic is, essentially, "Well everybody else is doing it, so it isn't that bad."

Do you also agree with "Well, the NSA spies on its citizens; who cares if other countries spy on their citizens?"

'Are you now, or have you ever, been associated with any terrorist organizations?'
The thing that baffles me in this thread is the nonchalance that posters have when saying: "people need to be self-filtering at the interview stage", "just work somewhere else".

Apparently for something that will actively discriminate on a large portion of your potential employees it needs to be some sort of protected category.

If I open an office space where you need to climb a ladder to get in, I'll probably get sued because I'm actively discriminating against handicapped workers. Why can't it be the same with a dog allergy (or just plain fear)?

The other thing that bugs me is that engineers usually have a good range of choices as to where they work, but I highly doubt that the delivery person from UPS has any choice but to deliver to SparkFun or get fired. As it turns out some of them were actually bitten.

It all boils down to this 'at will employment' nonsense IMHO…
Is there a history of recycled PCs being obtainable and maintainable in this setting? Is the real initial cost significantly below the alternative: The $50 smartphone? How about the lifecycle cost? How long with those PCs last compared to a new smartphone?
nice job man!
I agree about needing to know the culture. I don't care about perks because I'm interested in the work and the culture. Job ads use the perks as the main justification why you should want to work there. I can find my own gym and transportation.
For me the novelty wore off in about an hour. Discovering that you it takes (significant) time just to spend skill points so that you can fly the new ship you just bought that it will take you (significant) time just to go and pick up in a game where pretty much all the game play consists of clicking on lists and waiting.

I think it's great the EVE has such an entertaining meta-community. I suspect it's precisely because the game itself is so slow-paced and dull that this is true (the real game takes place in your imagination, and the pace is such that you can spend a lot of time chatting with other players, etc.)

What a great explanation. I have been doing some low-level Go programming recently (including implementing the writev syscall), and I think this document would also be useful for Go programmers.
My first job was a system for building interactive SMS services, balancing power and expressiveness with user-friendliness, much like designing a programming language. But since the mobile phone system itself adds so much latency, performance was rarely an issue.

My third job was an insurance trading platform. Most of the interesting stuff was around the representation of contracts, making it possible to manipulate them by computer, and compare different possibilities, but still having them look like the paper contracts users were used to.

My second job was at a music streaming service, and was mostly about doing simple things in ways that performed well, or scaled up to millions of users. I found this a lot less interesting or creative than my first or third job. Of course, that could just be personal taste.

Perhaps I can state a point simpler than another poster.

"this is an unnecessary copy...this is inefficient...I wouldn't have to do this if I were writing in C"

You should then ask yourself: does the inefficiency matter? Will it make the program noticeably slower? If not, then you can safely ignore the lack of machine efficiency and embrace the gain in programmer efficiency.

Logic would say that unoriginal direct plagiarism, from a strongly biased source, without referencing the citation in question, is indication of an argument that is actually not very coherent or cogent -- but one that rather parrots certain established mindsets.

In other words; your lack of transparency about your citations is a signal that you lack both originality and accuracy.

Finally; the page you link to is created/funded by an organization that Al Gore had this to say about: "These groups are not providing unbiased judicial education.

> if I wrote a series of blog posts in the coming years, you could maybe analyize timestamps to determine my time zone. However, the compiled site shows only the date

When I set up a pseudonym GitHub, I was shocked to find a script that linked the two accounts. The first giveaway is using the same languages. Not as much of a problem with a blog. The second was commit patterns and timestamps.

This is the blog's commits, where you can find an e-mail and timestamps: https://github.com/untraceableblog/untraceableblog.github.io... You know the timestamps are accurate because Tor needs a valid system clock to keep a good connection.

Solution: I developed a gem 'GitFog' to randomly backdate my commits up to 48 hours in the past. More about that here: https://github.com/msjoinder/gitfog/

Yeah, as a Canadian, once you get a linguistic gap it really changes the political nature of a country. I mean, English Canada has the typical left-right tug-of-war, with the right going to the prairie provinces and the big cities of Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver swinging left (the suburbs are the battleground)... but then you've got Quebec that's a completely separate game. They have their own political party that doesn't run candidates outside of Quebec.

When Canada was formed, there were four political parties - the English left/right and the French left/right.

A linguistic gap completely changes the political landscape, at a level that doesn't exist in purely-Anglophonic USA.
This has nothing to do with anti mask law. The guy is "pastafarian" priest, a self proclaimed religion announced by some RUSSIAN geeks recently, I have heard about it only in 2013, as a response too invasive and aggressive promotion of Ortodox Christianity by Mr.Putin&Co. google for pastafarian church. Couple of days ago read about him being beaten heavily by Ukrainian SpecOps BERKUT. Guy has got couple of broken ribs and nose. At the same time, Orthodox priests standing between rioters and Berkut, weren't harmed in any way.
Part of the experience that you mention is how you get your media to begin with.

The music and movie industries have tried their best to make it as hard as possible to consume legally bought media on anything other than what they want you to watch it on. Some of this is due to piracy concerns, some due to various contracts (you will only allow this movie on Starz for the first 6 months), but all of it is in their control.

Conversely, downloading a movie via bittorent will play on anything powerful enough to process an HD movie; downloading some MP3s will play on any device thinkable. The files require no complex codes to put into crazy websites, no additional software to install, no additional devices to buy. Being free is just icing on the cake.

Case in point: I bought Pacific Rim on blue ray when it was released a few months ago. Waited for it to arrive in the mail. Defeated its stupid plastic wrap. Popped some popcorn, turned the lights off, put the disc in my PS3 (the only blue ray player I own) and... nothing. It could not play the disc without connecting to the internet to download some new blue ray decryption keys or whatever. Never had this problem before, and sadly my PS3 is not connected to the internet. This disc was useless to me. Enraged, I downloaded an 18GB HD rip of it and had it playing on my $35 raspberry pi in an hour. Has this experience soured me on buying blue rays? Of course it has.

You are never leaking less than you think. There is information in the bitcoin chain. It is not likely to be useful without pairing it with other information (and there are ways to make that harder), but I'd be more than hesitant to say "useless" - and certainly leery of betting my freedom or significant amounts of my privacy on it. That said, it is clearly better against at least some threats than other available payment systems, in terms of anonymity.
I think even small groups of people with limited resources will find interesting, creative things to with a well-written film script. And as equipment becomes cheaper this will become much more so - compare with how much more effective the home music studio has become over the last few years.

A pension is generally a defined benefit retirement plan (a guaranteed annuity), whereas a 401(k) is one (of many) kinds of defined contribution retirement plans.

A "contributory pension" is a pension to which an employee makes contributions from, a "noncontributory pension" is one where the entire amount is funded by the employer, which is a different axis of distinction from the pension (defined benefit) vs. defined contribution distinction.
Great idea and mission - kudos to the founders to try to make it a reality. However, there are some challenges : a) Illiteracy and training the users. Although here the unexpected results of the "hole-in-the-wall" experiment of Sugata Mitra - where kids in slums basically taught themselves computers with no supervision [1] may be the model that needs to be followed.
b) Access to electricity to run these computers in the poorest regions of the world c) Not every old PC has a USB 2.0 port - so if there was a way to bridge the gap, it would increase the available supply of old PCs.

Linus's annual earnings are in the region of $10m, his net worth is ballpark $150m, and we're meant to be surprised he hasn't collected $136 in Github tips? Really?

Can't access because the site is down, but I have a lot of feelings about this topic. Specifically, please never, ever, use one of these words to describe the developer you are hunting:

ninja, cowboy, rockstar, superstar, virtuoso, obsessed, "lives and breathes code", knowledgeable about some arbitrary activity or hobby to show how quirky and social the team is...

It gets tiring, as a professional, to read these job postings that sound like they're an ad for a teenage boy's summer camp. Usually the non-programmer postings will read like, you know, jobs for adults. Also, when you're asking for a "virtuoso" for your 60k junior dev spot, I don't know whether that means you don't know what that word means or you're just delusional. Either way, it sounds like everyone definitely has a puffed up ego.
More relevant: where did you find the article?
Might explain why they keep on referencing "your country's laws", since a lot of the anti-protest laws seem to be the norm in Russia.

This is now the second time I'm aware of Google essentially vetoing a technology in favor of performance (MathML being the first).

Seeing it happen twice now is a little disconcerting. It feels like Google is eschewing a responsibility it has to standards as one of the major browser vendors in favor of its own interests.

If CSS Regions are truly a problematic proposal, it should collectively be addressed now during the draft stage to either improve the standard or decide to abandon them.

Standardizing virtio
I tend to agree in principle - all this outlay of effort and time and money for what is, at the end of the day, still a game.

But it's the fact that something like EVE still has rules and artificial constraints - as minimal as they are - that makes me wonder if you're not overstating what these people could accomplish, given the same outlay of time and resources. EVE has tons of rules that are there to make sure it's a fun game experience, not because they make sense - forcefields that can withstand literally ANYTHING you throw at them within certain time limits? Completely indestructible space stations? Omnipresent (in hisec, anyway) police patrols that can't be avoided or destroyed?

People like the Mittani are clever, unquestionably - but they're mostly successful because they've learned the rules of EVE better than anyone else, and they put in the time and resources to exploit their advantage. Real life is hardly so accommodating. Plus, when the point of the game is awesome space battles, it's easy enough to find supporters for a giant war. It also probably helps that you can't actually die.

At any rate - like I said, I agree that the amount of blood and treasure spent on EVE is kind of mind-boggling, I'm just not terribly convinced that somebody like the Mittani is an Ender Wiggin being tragically wasted on a computer game. I'm not hating on his undeniably impressive in-game accomplishments, just being skeptical.

This is the same kind of issue I've run into with T-Mobile and their adult content filter. I can't turn it off because they use financial data to find out if your 18. So because I didn't have student loans or a credit card I can't disable it without going into a store.
Comparing to the ingredient cost of making your own lunch (lets say $3), free lunch is only worth $750 a year. Maybe more if you eat expensive lunch items and you assign a time value because you hate making lunches that badly.

Because they can read primary sources...

Most of the supporters of the protesters know nothing of the situation except what the English-speaking media filters to them, and what some protester writes on a blog (because that wouldn't be biased at all...).
