Just want to add: This was inspired by Patio11's documentation of Bingo Card Creator over the span of several years. I learned a lot from reading that, so I wanted to do the same with this project. Any questions or suggestions on what to write next are welcome!
Thank you for posting this. When Google (ie, Matt Cutts) states that they are looking for "scraper" sites, I wonder if they include blogspam "news" publications like this.

For example, when someone searches my name, currently the #2 hit is a Gawker repost of a blog post I wrote. What's worse is that Gawker actually goes out of their way to make it seem like they spoke with me (ie, added additional "content" to my post), when in fact they didn't; all they did was provide a tl;dr[0].

I don't have a problem with news publications that seek to be secondary sources that add value (analysis, more in-depth reporting) to stories that others break, but it kills me to see publications not even bothering to do that.

[0] I can't remember if they even linked back to my post or not; I'd check, but I actually have all Gawker media sites blocked in /etc/hosts and I don't really feel like undoing that.

“But when you see that,” he said, pointing to the T-shirts, “a conversation becomes impossible.”

This is the attitude of someone that has already decided to perpetuate the status quo, being reminded of the fact his position does not stand up well under public scrutiny. The conversation is impossible now because it always was. Or rather, it was highly unlikely to happen, even less likely to change anything, and only possible at all for the most hair-splitting of reasons.

I see this kind of rationalization up close so often I'm uncomfortable with how little it makes my blood boil anymore. A public revelation puts egg on someone's face, they bellyache that if the problem was brought to them properly they could have fixed it. It relies on two assumptions that for any instance of this at least one of is blatantly false. A) The exec wasn't aware of the issue already, and happy to keep it going so long as public doesn't find out and B) that the person who just went public not only could have somehow gotten a conversation with him in private, but would have been able to change his position.
So, they can't work at that company, and?

Are they the only employers? Also, if you have to go to school X (outside of the state) and then come back, well, there are better choices, no?

There are always places that won't hire you because of your school, that's usually a red flag.

I go to a research university so there are 4 main sources of funding in no particular order:

1) State funding (public tax dollars)

2) Student tuition

3) Research Grants

4) Alumni donations

State funding is down, research grants are down, and alumni donations are down. The autonomous costs of a university don't decline, so that loss in revenue needs to be made up elsewhere, thus it comes from student tuition.

I don't think he is promoting being arrogant or cruel and find your comment rather obscure. He is saying things like "learn to say no when friends pressure you to go bar-hopping" and "it's better to be loved by a few people you care about, than to be liked by everyone".

I think the stakes of speaking out have been raised. Five, six years ago you risked felony and prison. Today, you risk being labeled an enemy combatant, or even worse, a traitor to the nation (facing execution). The US government has sent a very clear message - if you have direct knowledge of the way the surveillance is being expanded, and speak out, you're a traitor to the country.

In my opinion THAT'S what the general public needs to recognize. The stakes for whistleblowers have been raised to the absolute limit.
You create a list, so this expression won't shortcut like or. Or is definitely the right way to write an expression like this. Any has its place, but mostly when it's input is a generator, e.g.,

Japanese feel strongly about Kunashir too. But you don't see them sending in the military. I think thuggish behavior means you should consider their feelings less, not more. Get the military out, then talk about feelings.
No one is suggesting to ban anything, or enforce people's behaviour in any way. What they want to do is to enforce correct labels on items that people are purchasing. If it says "free" it must be free full stop. If it is only partially free, then it must say so.

SEEKING WORK - Denver, Colorado, USA or Remote

I am an experienced software developer with a strong skill set in UNIX/Linux/BSD backend server development in C++ and Python doing high availability, fault tolerant and high scalability architecture. Designed and built custom binary protocols and have used protocol buffers (google protobuf extensively). ZeroMQ experience as well!

I also have extensive experience working with Pyramid (Python web framework), PostgreSQL, and building web applications with JSON/XML data interchanges and the like.

Security while building products is extremely important, and I have a lot of experience building secure software, security in depth, and understanding how systems work on both a macro and micro level to be able to easily figure out how to provide additional security where possible by separating concerns. Along with security knowledge I have built and implemented various projects that made extensive use of cryptography and am familiar with common pitfalls associated with most primitives and how to use them to build secure constructs.

Do you have an interesting challenge for me? Get in touch :-)

What are you talking about???? Bush kept building US bases in plenty of ex-USSR republics day and night. He kept Putin by the balls. I'm an US citizen in Poland now. Bush wanted to build anti-ballistic shield in Poland that would render this country along Czech Republich untouchable by the Ruskies. First decision Obama made? He scrapped the whole deal in order not to make Russia feel bad. You have no idea how pissed of Poles are about that development. Strong president wouldn't do that. Strong President would build this freaking shield here and also in Ukraince. Just in case. And what about Syria? Huh? Obama just does what Putin says. That's whole Syria thing. Putin said, Obama did. WTF??? Is he a pussie or a president of the United States of America? He lacks balls in confrontation with America enemies who do whatever hell they want. And what is this now? Obama says on Friday, hey Putin there will be grave consequences if you involve yourself militarily in Ukraine. And what happens the very next day? What happens??Putin ignores this kid and his funny twitter posts and officially orders his army to invade Ukraine. Nobody treats this weakling seriously. Just let him go back to his community and smoke pot and leave politics to politicians with balls.
> dot-DNS makes secure JavaScript apps possible

> today’s JavaScript apps are at the mercy of the security provided by web browsers, which are incapable of distinguishing a secure SSL/TLS connection from one that’s being man-in-the-middle‘d (MITM) by an actor “with a privileged network position.”

This section title makes no sense.

There are lot of reasons that Javascript is bad for cryptographic use (which have been enumerated at length by others with far more experience in the field, like tptacek). But this isn't really one of them - or at least, it's not specific to Javascript.

Any application that makes an HTTP(s) connection is incapable of distinguishing between one that is secure with one that is being MITMed - that's the definition of an MITM attack. Certificate pinning (which is good) is simply a way of making it harder for a connection to be MITMed. If browser has pinned the certificate for a particular website, the only way to MITM it is to compromise the actual private key itself, and use that to fake a secure connection. (This is of course not what people usually mean when they talk about MITM attacks, but it fits the same basic structure as one).
How many options are there, once you de-facto exclude getting it back?

Well ... you live without it.

Ordinary people have been living under the whims of capricious deities from thousands of years. It doesn't really matter if you believe in deities directly, it may as well be natural disasters, cruel landlords, plagues of locusts, drought/weather, mob bosses, as the whims of the spirits, so what you do is just carry on living.

Good luck fighting the good fight, that ever noble pursuit of educating the masses about an arbitrary set of rules.

Back in the real world, some of the most enlightening discussion is "off-topic". So this example is not HN, but: I still remember back in the heyday of Slashdot reading the thread on 9/11 as it happened. Did anybody complain that that wasn't "News for Nerds"? What's happening in Ukraine is in that similar category of potentially world-shaping events. It doesn't hurt any of us to start paying attention.

CircleCI (https://circleci.com/jobs) - SF or REMOTE fulltime (in the US)

At CircleCI we're building the next generation of developer automation: amazing Continuous Integration and Deployment. We have traction and revenue and funding and great customers. Our customers love us, because we move quickly, build great things, and provide amazing support. Everyone talks to customers a lot.

We're still a small team, so you'll have a large impact on company culture. We're highly influenced by Valve's Employee handbook and Stripe and GitHub's cultures, and have as flat a structure as we can. We're looking for frontend engineers (JS), designers (must be able to HTML+CSS), and backend engineers (Clojure). Being a mix of those is of course welcome! We lean towards senior experienced engineers, or junior engineers who can display great talent.

We're also looking for engineers for Developer Success and Developer Awareness positions. Since we have an incredibly technical product, and selling directly to developers, the dev-awareness positions (think marketing, but much more dev-oriented: dev evangelism, writing interesting blogs, CRO, analytics, etc - think a patio11-style engineer) require significant development experience. Dev-success positions are a good fit for engineers who like working with people and building relationships with customers.

Check out our jobs page at https://circleci.com/jobs.
I still wonder how do you really make sure there is no spam and data vandalizing in OSM. I still wonder about it, since there can be some entities that would just erase competition for a price, but I guess that's the same way wikipedia is dealing with it.
But Slashdot today is also a mere shadow of what it was in 2001. At least some of the decline in readership over there has been due to a gradual increase in politics-oriented submissions being shown on the front page, rather than technology/science-oriented submissions.

While events like this do have significance, without a doubt, there is already ample coverage in a very wide variety of general news outlets. Many of the ones that are online allow for discussion, as well.

So there's little need or reason for news sites focusing on rather specific topics like technology, science, mathematics and entrepreneurship to devote page space to rather unrelated political topics. The focus and the depth of coverage is what makes such sites appealing in the first place. Diluting them with news that can be found elsewhere is counterproductive.
Unfortunately, for off road, even though the classification of whether bikes are allowed on a trail can be input, I haven't seen any viewers that show this information. I find it difficult to determine the trail type (single/double track), condition (dirt, pavement), and whether bikes are allowed.
