Relax. He got stuck on the onramp, not the highway. Getting out of your car and away from it is a good idea.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but hasn't tcpdump had several buffer overflows in the past?

Personally I prefer multilog + pflogd + some other tool to examine the pcap file.

My old favorite is nc-data -d. The entire program fits on one page.

od or xxd -c1 |cut -d: -f2 will work too.

ngrep is fussy about interface types but I use that too.

Filters for nc-data output can be written in lex, sed, awk, lua, whatever.

I've even experimented with snobol4 and spitbol on packets since the output format of nc-data is so simple.
ShareLaTeX.com - Front end developer/designer - Remote

We are an online LaTeX editor that very recently went open source, we are now looking for someone to join the team who will focus on the front end. The site is very functional but a long way off where it should be in terms of design and UX. We want someone to come in with a lot of ideas to help us shape how this tool will look and feel. The application is used by thousands of scientists around the world to help them work more efficiently. Although it is corny you will get the chance to help make the world a better place by improving scientific collaboration. We are a distributed team so there is not central office, we don’t enforce strict working hours, all we care is that we are making our users are happy.

Please get in touch for a chat if this is of interest. henry.oswald@sharelatex.com
Some people, myself included, find fault often (too often) and look for the flaws. Assuming the worst leads to pleasant surprises. Assuming the best rarely does. My 2c.
Three years and two jobs later we were picking up dinner from the grocery deli on the way home from work and preschool and up he came and asked if we were going fishing and it wasn't for a day or two that I remembered who he was and what he had said the one time we had met.

It's hard for me to keep priorities in order sometimes. Even when I know, I just forget what really matters. Good luck.
Citymapper (London, UK) - Help build the world's best transport app!

(Backend and Frontend: Python, iOS/Android, JavaScript, etc)

We're looking for great people first and foremost, but here are some of the things we make:

* Client experiences that people love. We have iOS, Android, and web apps.

* An omnivorous transport data processor. We fuse together loads of data sources (of wildly varying quality) to give people the information they need in a growing number of cities around the world. We use a lot of Python, but are open to new ideas.

* A fast, scalable stable of servers. We have a large user base which relies on us to give them snappy answers every day. We use Saltstack to deploy on AWS.

* A psychic city brain. We're digging up patterns in urban data to tell people the answers they need to know about their commute before they know the questions.

Ford switching from Microsoft Sync to BalckBerry's QNX software.
I don't think people hate google for offering proprietary mapping, but nobody wants to be subjected to unnecessary leverage.

For example, I wanted to use google in a commercial application, but only for backend services like geocoding and place search. I wanted to pay them for these services, but they refused the business because I did not want to display the data on a google map and use the google js api.

That is the sort of thing a company with lots of leverage can do. I wanted to pay full price or more to use a feature (10s of thousands per year), but due to a monopoly on the data, they can turn me away. Sorry, but I already have to deal with one Comcast.
"I’m writing this because there’s a lot of widely read blogs from people who have had amazing success, but very few from people like myself, who are starting from the bottom."

The question will be: is privacy dead for everybody, or just for the 99%?
I think the justification for getting out/away from the car was that he didn't know what was wrong or what it could develop into. In an ICE car, "disabled" generally means just that. If you can't smell gas or you can tell what happened (stall, flood, etc) the car's going to be safe just sitting there. In a Tesla, once something's gone wrong, who knows what's going to happen? You're probably still safe, but with all the FUD out there I can't blame him for worrying about a leaking or shorted battery blowing up in his and his kid's faces.

> "being a pre-funded entrepreneur SUCKS"

You don't have to go for funding. You seem to be psyching yourself out. I don't know the details, but given your previous job, well-managed expenses should readily allow for bootstrapping.
Taskflow.io - Business Development - Chicago, IL

COMPANY DESCRIPTION
Taskflow.io is a brand new idea on how businesses can run their internal processes. Every business has reoccurring processes that are in the heads of the employees and not formalized or tracked.

When a business process is only in the head of a couple of employees things get forgotten, important data gets lost, critical steps are missed, and performance analytics are lost.

Taskflow.io formalizes business processes online into a clean and easy interface to run a business's operations. Taskflow.io collects data on each step a business process, so nothing falls between the cracks and process performance can be easily tracked.

JOB DESCRIPTION
You will be responsible for two things generating clients and keeping them happy. That's it. How you reach your goals is up to you.

There are no scripts, there are no mandatory daily requirements. If you are independent and diligent in generating clients and keeping them happy, you will have no problem in this position. If you enjoy sitting on your butt twiddling your thumbs pretending to accomplish things, this job is not for you.

QUALIFICATIONS
Genuine curiosity. Independence. Business to business sales experience. Track record of success.
C'mon, this is a petty attack and it is completely off the point.

Tesla died. Suddenly, in a bad location, after dark, on the first ride. What else do you expect him to say? He is actually quite gallant in how he describes the incident. As pro-Tesla as the situation permits.
Russia Invades Crimea
Despite myself, I'm impressed. I'm lucky that I'm averse to the trappings of success. For somebody who enjoys that to walk away has got to be hard. And I expect that there will be a lot of humbling experiences ahead. I look forward to hearing what happens.

One minor nit that I mention because it's a pointer to a broad problem in the industry. The writer refers to themself as "a pre-funded entrepreneur". A lot of people act as if professional investor funding is the only option. As somebody who has started businesses both with and without investor money, I strongly encourage entrepreneurs to at least keep an open mind. Be a "pre-revenue entrepreneur" or a "pre-profit entrepreneur". A culture of treating investment as a success proxy is useful for VCs, but dangerous for entrepreneurs.
Lights and touch screens will still mostly work on half their normal voltage, but the propulsion control system is fairly conservative. Rightly so. Trying to keep going on flickering power could cause the control DSPs to behave erratically.

Indeed, you could imagine the system being able to give an earlier warning for this class of failure. Perhaps they'll be able to add it in a future software update.

I too have to cast serious doubts about Cryptsy's tech abilities. I navigated their website before they were publicly known (their website was already operational) and found some disturbing errors - nothing big, but I did not dig deep.
It's interesting seeing how difficult the author finds it being an unfunded entrepreneur. Offers some perspective on how difficult it is for entrepreneurs starting off with nothing. At the very least the author probably has a decent amount of runway from working a well paid job previously. Not to mention the connections to the VC world. I'm not trying to take away from the authors struggles but trying to point out if it's that tough for them just imagine how tough it is for the rest of us.
Apple Investors Reject Shareholder Proposals, Re-Elect Board

> This section title makes no sense.

I agree

> There are lot of reasons that Javascript is bad for cryptographic use

Wrong. Javascript is a language, the problem is the platform: client-side scripting is dangerous, but add-on or server-side through Node.js could be fine.
How good are these vehicles at knowing the amount of juice left in the battery? I'm completely ignorant when it comes to electric car battery technology but I can't help but think about experiences with mobile phones and laptop computers where I have been using them and suddenly lost a large amount of juice for no apparent reason. Either something drained the battery very quickly or the system was miscalculating the amount of energy left.

Anyway, it's one thing for that to happen when I'm browsing reddit, it's another thing when you're cruising down the highway at 70mph.

That would be a rather small smile right?
I work on the dispatch team at Uber. Whenever you use the app we are the team that connects riders with vehicles. Obviously for our team real-time is key. The team was actually one of the first production users of Node.js, but we also have C/C++ and Scala in the stack today.

I know Uber is also looking for Android devs, PostgreSQL experts, Python devs, "big" data/data science/ML people and systems/devops. Basically if you are smart we are growing really fast.

I'm sure most people have heard of Uber but if I can answer any questions I'm @sh1mmer on Twitter and my email is tomc at uber dot com.

Good luck! Is this a stealth project because the service or product wasn't mentioned? If not, I would suggest to use the exposure on HN to get some feedback.
I heard that the Range Rovers need a tow vehicle equipped with a crane because it's impossible to move them. It's one of those "happened to a friend of my friend" stories so it may be not 100% correct.

Even if it is true, as the technology advances, I think it is normal that it needs different and more complicated tools for support.
My first thought reading the title was also "isn't this 'ninja' thing a bit old by now?", then I saw the date - 2012.
Guess he lost all of it and now back to zero.
There are few topics on HN in which the reader response will be so predictable. A Tesla didn't work right? The driver is a liar, an idiot, an asshole, or all of them.

All cars have issues. Tesla is new-ish tech, so I'd expect a these things to happen for a bit. Furthermore, I think given the cool-factor and price tag, we're just more likely to hear about a greater proportion of the issues than with other cars.
I don't think anyone's claiming Apple's a charity -- at least I'm not. I actually had an honest question about relative environmental impacts, but that's probably not what we're talking about here, so nevermind. "Trying to make money" is not the same as "trying to make money in every possible way, no matter the consequences."

Unless he's doing a 'get lots of users, think about money later' product. With the money he probably has set aside bootstrapping a SAAS business of something with a business model from day one would be easy and probably not require funding but otherwise he'll need funding eventually. Given his previous job and likely connections though getting some seed funding shouldn't be too hard.
I don't mind him being angry with Tesla (writing a bad review, etc. -- that seems fully justified, and he's not a bad writer); I just don't want him leaving a blacked out car unmarked in the middle of a highway where someone else might hit it.
This is really cool! Would be great to get this on places like http://www.runnable.com
the EFF could run a site that would provide trustworthy pinned keys for arbitrary sites on the Internet, and you could subscribe to that site.

So how do you know that your subscription to EFF is secure?

Contrast to DNSChain, which requires that ordinary users trust a third-party server.

First-party, not third-party. What you described with EFF is a third-party, whereas DNSChain is a first (or 2nd) party, because either you own the server (1st party), or your friend does (2nd? party).

DNSChain isn't going to happen.

It's already happened. I'm using it right now. Where's TACK?
I read that as his yearly salary not savings he'd lost.
Since fields like this have so much speculation and so little hard data to go off of, they have to resort to historical analogies for much of their analysis. Who really knows if China's South Sea strategy is the result of a concerted turn towards militarism, inflamed nationalistic sentiments forcing the government in a particular direction, a geopolitical priority based on projected energy needs, emergent behavior from different factions struggling for power, or a combination of these things? Especially when it comes to a political system and government as opaque to outsiders as that of China? And so we reach for the tired, ill-fitting Bismarck analogies and maybe dredge up some three thousand year old historical event that we imagine might provide some sort of insight.

Also, the guns to butter argument doesn't really make sense. You can't just spend lots of money to quickly buy up a fully-trained military. It takes years, even decades of operational experience to develop a competent fighting force, experience that simply cannot be purchased.
Hey, thanks! Thanks for the suggestion, I'll add this very soon.

But this sort of thing already happens all the time. You don't have the right flash player, or the right silverlight player, or the right version of Java. There would be very little difference in the UX between different scripting languages and the current UX w.r.t. media codexes, and the end result would be the same in both cases: there would be some repertoire of languages and codexes that everyone uses and become standard.

The alternative is to forever have to deal with a language that by design cannot even handle integer math or unicode strings properly.
You're playing semantic games with "first party" and "second party" and "third party".

If I didn't think EFF was trustworthy, I wouldn't subscribe. Key continuity would still make TACK valuable; even without trusted third parties, widespread deployment of TACK would practically eradicate dragnet surveillance through compromised CAs, because every attempt to forge a certificate would quickly be detected.
Rather old news (feb 2012). Still interesting though if you're into the whole Pi world.
Say that they should know who they're doing business with? Ask why they're hiding something important from their colleagues? Switch jobs to a company that actually trusts their employees?
I'm not sold on 'get lots of users, think about money later' products. ;)
There are multiple CA mitigation technologies under consideration right now.

Do these "mitigation technologies" require us to continue paying CAs protection money? From what I read about TACK, it seems like it doesn't require that, but what's actually being done?
Parking trucks or other objects on top of silos was actually part of the START verification protocols, so highly public, too. The other technique was leaving silo doors open during certain hours, when overhead collection assets (satellites, maybe flights) were... overhead, to verify presence or absence of missiles in certain silos.
> When I go to parties and people ask me what I’m doing

I know I'm being a little cynical here, but you should be working on your startup, not attending parties.

If you're going to sacrifice to do something, go all in.

I went through a similar process: I left a well paying engineering job to be a technical co-founder at a startup, with a 6x decrease in salary.

I had exactly $30k in savings, not including retirement, but was lucky to make an income of $24k right off the bat.

I cut my expenses to the bone--short-sold my house and moved into low-income housing, took my clothes to a seamstress to repair, bought from second hand stores, racked up credit card debt, did a couple side gigs to get a free gym membership, basically everything to conserve my cash.

It was great to get my expenses down, but it was not fun having to make tough decisions.

Ultimately, I ended up parting ways with the startup, and rejoined the workforce as a dev, but not after whittling my savings down to nothing, and racking up $10k in debt.

And

I would do it all again in a heartbeat, because it was one of the best experiences of my life (also being a part of TechStars helped).
As an advertiser, Reddit's problem is their ad platform. It is the most awful thing I have ever had the displeasure of losing money with.
There are two batteries here -- the lithium ion packs under the car that run the motors, and the 12V lead acid battery that all types of cars have. That's the battery that died, not the fancy lithium one whose capacity is displayed on the dash.
I'm also using `ag` over `ack` and `grep` as it seems to combine the speed of grep with the features of ack.

We are leaning towards MapQuest because their pricing was much better than Google Maps for the kind of volume that our client was looking at.

We had to go with the business license approach because of the TOS involved.

BTW, MapQuest does have a "Community License" which unfortunately for us was using data from OpenStreetMaps and not the data behind its commercial product.
Why did Samsung play it safe with the Galaxy S5's processor?
This can depend on the local laws. For example, in California anything you do on your own time using your own resources is your own property (there can be some exceptions, consult a lawyer).
Good luck.

One alarming thing IMO in the post is the focus on getting funded vs. validating (or even selling) a product

Funding is just an ingredient (not even required always) in the recipe. The final product is the cake.

Bootstrap if you can -- build something people want (sorry for the trite startup advice) and charge for it.[1]

Don't mean to be pedantic. I just find the narrative on getting funding as a pre-req for success which has become the norm to be a bit overblown.[2]

Notes:

[1] I'm a co-founder of a bootstrapped 7-figure recurring revenue SaaS business in NYC.

[2] 2/3 of last year's tech exits were not institutionally funded -- http://www.cbinsights.com/blog/trends/global-tech-exits-repo...
How switching between browser tabs is different from switching between applications?
A few notes regarding failures (because I think the linked quora post didn't do justice):

- Bill Gates and Paul Allen's first venture was Traf-O-Data, attempting to process traffic data. They built machines as part of this. On their "demo day", their machines didn't work. Eventually, Washington State obviated their business and they moved on to form Microsoft

- RH Macy failed seven times before founding the biggest department store in the world (I wish the number 7 was included in the response)

- Akio Morita's first product was a rice cooker, which was a self-described "memorable failure", selling less than 100 units. He then partnered with Masaru Ibuka to form Sony
I think there's a great opportunity for someone to release a simple, programmable Gameboy-esque device that runs Javascript or something similarly noob-friendly to give people (and kids) a less friction-filled path to learning programming. This might not be the device for that, but it's a really cool project nevertheless.
Even if they can't make this effective (and cost effective) for people who have had the disease for over a decade, that's still fantastic news and a good reason to be hopeful. I'll drink to that.
