Agreed.

There was a certain "code" people adhered to. Even groups like LOD wouldn't release exploits because they feared people would use them for nefarious purposes.

Eight things you need to know about Python 3
[Deep breath]
Your resume is terrible. Not in the sense of not covering off your skills and experience, but in the sense of making you seem like you care about what I need as a hiring manager.

First off, it gives no sense of the importance to the business of anything you've done. You could produce the best-engineered code in the world, but if it's not fit for purpose or it doesn't help us achieve definable and verifiable goals it's junk. You need to show that you understand that. The best way to do that is to include accomplishments like "Wrote a Perl simulator that improved test throughput by X% and saved Y hours of development time." Even better are ones that include "made $Z million dollars". You have to relate your achievements to the goals of the business.

Second, it's got things that would make me worried about even calling you for an interview. Why do you feel the need to specify reasons for leaving positions? That makes me nervous. Why do you need to tell me that your phone handles SMS? That's weird.

This feedback's based on building and leading teams over the past decade or so. I'm younger than you though not by too much. You will probably be dealing with people of my age or younger who are going to be focused on the relevance to the company if what they do, more so than its technical sweetness. You should tailor your message accordingly. I do not advocate dumbing down your resume. I do recommend focusing it on relevance to the business.

I also recently struck out again first as a contractor and then in a purely technical (no people management) full-time role. I got some time with a career consultant which helped immensely, though they were useless when it came to actual recruitment. I'd recommend you do the same, as they could help you tailor your message to the industry.

(I also built a Linux distro back in the day btw (early 2000s), for an PC104-board-based embedded systems project an acquaintance of mine was working on. It's not on my resume, because that project didn't go anywhere, and isn't really relevant to the kind of jobs I want now.)
Yev from Backblaze here -> Density is key! Our biggest need is to fit as much data as possible on each pod for as little price. The cost difference between removing 1 SATA card or removing 5 drives is negligible, but the added drives at another 20TB to the pod.
Of course, this is probably a major contributing factor to companies having trouble hiring programmers. Finding someone with the exact experience of your current problem is actually pretty difficult.
A standard Quicksort implementation is absolutely worst-case O(N^2). Variants do exist like median-of-medians quicksort or introsort, but I would never describe O(N^2) as wrong. In fact, I would be very happy if candidates knew the difference between worst-case and average-case analysis.
I would be happy to address these issues.
You have no reason to believe me but all custom servers are secured and are regularly updated.

For CloudFlare and MaxCDN I have 2-Step authentication enabled + for MaxCDN 1 allowed whitelisted IP address.

Regarding unmodified files I guess we can build an app to monitor them?
If you want drop by https://github.com/jsdelivr/jsdelivr and we can discuss this even further.

I would be happy to do anything possible to ease your concerns regarding security.
If you're flying from a Canadian airport to the US (from Ottawa or Toronto at least) you actually clear US customs while still in Canada. This is actually very convenient as before they started this clearing customs in the US would involve a long line if many fights were arriving at the same time.
Remember they're not claiming the color yellow, they're claiming the contrast between the body and the border. An all yellow multimeter wouldn't be infringing.
Binary search requires random access. Things that support random access can be used as lists, but not all lists support random access.

Thank you for commenting! We worked extremely hard to get it shipped despite some massive life obstacles. It represents a huge triumph of willpower and overcoming self-doubt just to be at this point.

We will continue adding support for other 3rd-party services (InfusionSoft is nearly complete) and plan to offer those later on, as single purchases, and we have talked about ideas in the realm of consulting (ie priority support, sales and marketing help, etc), but at this point, we're just hoping for some response. :)
I would agree that you can trademark an appearance but yellow is not any kind of identifiable color. This in my mind would make a trademark too vague to hold up in court. But my mind != stupid US government agency. I wonder if you can trademark objects with colors outside human vision. "I'm sorry sir your multimeters glow in the ultraviolet and we own that trademark."

It is also unreasonable that there is no option once seized to have it ship to a country other than the origin. After all it may very well be legal in Canada or Poland or somewhere.
Looks roughly how I'd expect. Personally I don't find it unreadable, except for the 8-spaces-in-a-tab thing (which is not really relevant anyhow). Anyways, few things I see:

- I'm not sure why you're doing `return m("#todo-app"), [...]` on line 15 of the view, it looks like a typo

- I would probably have written a keyboard utility function similar to m.withAttr to keep the e.keyCode stuff out of the controller and remove the anonymous function in the view

- I generally prefer inline ternary syntax instead of a if statement at the top for the "clear" button.

- the pluralize snippet can also be pulled out into a utility method

- I also tend to favor this syntax: m("input#new-todo[placeholder='What needs to be done?']") if the value of the attribute is static (line 18)
If someone is paying to stay in your house, they’re a customer.
No One Knows What They're Doing (2010)
Do you list things as experience on your CV after you've followed a tutorial and played around with it as a hobby?

If you include those, the list would be pretty long.

Anyway, what I wanted to say is not that it's a bad skill set, but that it's a bad CV.

Maybe one of those recruiters can help him polish it
For the depth and length of this article, I'm pretty surprised he didn't seem to mention the Sierpinski triangle patterns that can occur on shells, see: http://www.gmilburn.ca/2009/07/16/i-see-sierpinski-shapes-by...
Contemporary TV show protagonists have had bluetooth earpieces for years now and (nearly) no-one wants to look like that either.
"Kickstarting" Our Way to Kickstarter
There is another good interview: http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/people/lamport/pubs/d...
"Sucks"? It's a terrible waste of energy and resources for a frivolous reason.
Yev from Backblaze -> We do! In fact we make $0 off of the pod design and why we open sourced it. We want other folks to tinker, so we try to stay as open as possible about the design and building of the pods!
My wife and I frequently travel to London (we go each summer, and in fact are in the process of planning this year's adventure today because we've bought tickets to the Monty Python show at the 02!).

The first time I got on an international flight I was actually surprised that it wasn't more uncomfortable. There was some space for my elbows and I could comfortably use my iPad. That was for the first 4 hours. After that I was extremely uncomfortable and unable to sleep and I felt like I had been kicked in the face by the time we finally landed at LHR.

I'm a pragmatist, however, and so I don't complain too much about the cost (1300 or so each for a round trip isn't really all that bad). And I also understand that more comfortable seats take more space and use more material, which increases weight and thus cost. And at the same time, spending less time in the air means going faster, increasing speed and also cost.

Thus, it seems to me that the advancements need to come in the areas of materials (lighter, stronger build materials for the amenities) and in aerodynamics (which I'm sure are limited by safety requirements and the problem of getting that many people across the pond at one time).
Well that is what First Class is for. Oh you wanted it to be the same price?

It has only gotten worse since the 60's because now YOU and I can afford to fly. Back in the "golden age" people flew maybe once a year and saved in order to do so. Even then it was mostly well to do people flying - now it may as well be the bus. The relative price per ticket now compared to the 60's is nickles.

I flew on spirit airlines a few months ago round trip from DCA to DFW for $128. That's INSANE low. In 1960 dollars that would have been ~$16. You weren't flying anywhere for $16 in the 1960s.

People wanted to fly, so the airlines accommodated that by smashing us together and giving us low fares - making themselves not really that rich in the process.
"Flying out to interview with a single company is easy - they pay for the flights and hotel and you use them. Interviewing with 7 companies made for a surprisingly stressful round of negotiation before I’d even arrived, as I tried to spread the cost according to who could most afford it and who was getting the most time with me."

When I last was searching for an out-of-state (albeit not California) job, every company was adamant about arranging all the flight arrangements. It was very clear they did not want me to interview at other companies during the time. Even after I agreed to pay my own way, they still insisted on paying and have me fly out immediately after the interview. The stress of multiple flights during my short interview period definitely affected my performance.
Wow, congrats! I totally love Creative Market. I've bought so many photo effects, textures and patterns there over the past few years my accountant actually laughed at me last week when I had my taxes done considering "Creative Market" is a top-level category for my business expenses now. Really high-quality stuff and a great experience.
This.

Compare it to other things, say for example, musicians.

When a band goes on tour, it could be looked at like they're putting in 168 hours a week. Really though, they're doing maybe 8 hours a week of actually playing in front of people, maybe like 5-15 hours of practice, and that's all the solid "work" they're doing. That's not where the job ends though...100% of their life is their job because they are always potentially writing new material.
I must say that the process for adding files is too complicated and time consuming.
Don't worry, it won't be Node for long either.
Just wondering when The National Geographic Society will step in. Why should they limit themself to press products only.

[EDIT] They have at least two generic trademarks, one with matching class.

I believe any one or more of those will get you going in the right direction. All of those I've either read, or have seen recommended highly enough by people I trust, that I feel comfortable recommending them. The Guy Kawasaki book is a good, basic introduction to starting a startup, although it's a little old now. I think most of it is still relevant though.

A lot of this stuff is probably on the 'net as well, but you may have to dig around for it a bit. Quora has a lot of good questions (and good answers) on VC / startup topics, so that might be worth a look. Also, a number of high profile VCs maintain blogs where they share a lot of useful information. Mark Suster comes to mind (http://www.bothsidesofthetable.com/) and does Brad Feld (http://www.feld.com/wp/). Note that Brad Feld is the author of one of the above books.
Something like this? http://www.btcmessenger.com/?page=send just filter it for spam like we do with normal email, maybe an application anyone can run instead of a website that can be taken down.

Also, is there a provable way to generate a public bitcoin address without learning the private key? As a way to keep it fair.
I am 1.96 m tall (6'5") and I would also pay 10-20% more for some leg room when I pay for the tickets myself. But when I fly for work purposes (i.e. the vast majority of the time), this is not an option, regulations say I can only fly in economy class. I suppose many people is in the same situation.

I don't really think having enough space to actually fit in the seat should be considered a premium. It should be a right.
Sorrt, what is RP?
You're better off using nuclear power or renewable energy to create carbon-neutral jet fuel than anything else. I doubt there's any other way to fly than hydrocarbons (or equivalent chemical energy). Nuclear planes are also a joke (I believe they are theoretically physically possible, but have to be huge, and of course there's the little issue of flying nuclear reactors around in the sky), all the other alternate energies are right out, and none of the non-rocket alternate thrust methods have anywhere near enough specific impulse to get a plane off the ground, to say nothing of the unpleasantness of something like ion drives taking off in the middle of populated metropolises all the time. (Any ion drive that could drive a plane would sterilize quite a bit of landscape in the process.) Rockets might theoretically work but obvious jet engines win out in practice in this use case.
I will easily accept that patents do stifle innovation to an extent. My point was that the stifling is not so obvious as to warrant a complete rethinking of patents in these cases. If we allow that patents on hardware have a place in the world, then patents on software directly follows from this. Software is not special in this regard (the "math" argument is tiring).

What is not clear is that a patent free environment would be preferable either, as the inner workings of modern processor tech might be kept trade secrets or worse, no one bothers to develop this technology at all. It is decidedly not obvious that software patents are some sort of exception to this rule, and its definitely not because software can be reduced to math (as everything can).
You generally need to convince the airline you're allowed into the destination country, because if you're stopped at the border, they're responsible for you.

In many -- probably most -- countries there is some kind of outgoing border control for any international flight -- not necessarily "customs" but something similar. (I was actually detained briefly at customs leaving Sydney for Japan in the 90s. Never found out why.)
GeoJSON support for Google’s JavaScript Maps API
> the fact that Hashes have O(1) lookup time is often a great way to speed up an algorithm.

In practice I have learned that being CPU bound will turn things around faster than paging and thus for things that involve a sufficiently high number for n I prefer to avoid hashes and O(1) "speed ups." The less I store in memory the better, especially on servers that handle lots of requests simultaneously, at least for servers that aren't meant to be a memory store like memcache or redis.
If customizing a resume is likely to work at a company, according to the conditional probabilities I have estimated, working there will make me less happy than working at a company that does not exclusively prefer specialists. Since it also involves an additional investment of time, that means the posting itself would have to be closer to my ideal vision for a job working for The Man.

Companies use barely-functional pattern matching algorithms to automatically toss your resume into the garbage. It is very likely that any effort you spend hand-tailoring your self-advertisement will be wasted anyway. But let's assume that you're doing it to pass the bozo filter and talk to a real person.

If you have to feign specialization to get past the auto-rejector, it is safe to assume that the company sees fewer qualified candidates. Supply is lower. As long as the posting remains open, demand remains the same. Therefore, the more specialized the role, the higher your expected remuneration should be. It's fine that companies are picky, but not both picky and cheap.

My advice is to use a general, unmodified resume for all your initial applications, and only to tailor your resume if the company does not respond in person after the first 2 weeks. If that generates a response, remember to ask for a higher salary if you reach the negotiation phase.

Of course this, like most other advice, should be taken with skepticism, because it is based on my experiences, not yours.

Honestly, I don't spend much time customizing a resume, because I already have a job, even if I don't like it, and a lot of the postings that I see are just as flavorless and uninspired as an untailored resume. My primary criteria for applying are whether the job itself seems like it could be interesting after you subtract the HR boilerplate and whether the company makes it easy for people to submit themselves for consideration.

If applying is as easy as writing an e-mail with a resume attachment, I will take the time to write an original cover letter. If I have to jump through 8 pages of hoops where I have to re-enter my entire resume into a series of tiny text boxes, I will not customize anything. And on the 8th page, where I am asked to list 3 of my weaknesses in an HTML form, just above a request for my entire salary history, I will almost invariably list "I get snarky when confronted by foolish or wasteful hiring practices." At that point, I have already invested that much time on an application that I know will not yield fruit, so I can't help but feel bitter about the utter waste of it.
I can do time complexity etc. I know about compilers, trees, graphs & other shit data structures and I can read academic papers on any new shit with a comfortable head. I can learn any new imperative, oop or functional language in a week.

But I still can't find a job in Google.
I never really know what to do during negotiation time. During the first interview, I'm usually asked how much. I'm told that I should always try to push it back for the other person to make the first offer. However in matter how hard I try, they demand that I make the first offer. I don't want to aim too high or too low in fear that I'd lose out on the opportunity.
You have to be doing something for all the hours in the week. We don't get stresses out playing tennis or having sex (well...) or going to the movies.

So its got more to do with extended concentration on one task, vs the actual hours? If the work has several tasks (e.g. rehearsing, the gig, songwriting, negotiating) then maybe its not the same as sitting in front of a screen the same time.
Closing the gender wage gap: What pharmacies can teach us
It's really wonderful to see capitalism fueling innovation like this. You would also need to include the cost of processing power + server time/aws vm's required. This assumes also that you won't get caught - extra work will probably be required in making your bots seem like "natural users" so they can't be detected.
There's nothing particularly anti-competitive about not letting competitors use a particular easily identifiable color scheme associated with your product, largely because it has absolutely no functional impact on the product (and in any case, the product is not one where appearance is typically a factor in peoples' purchasing decisions).

The fact that Fluke can sell $150 multi-meters when they can be made for $15 is because of the substantial value people attach to branding. $100 Ralph Lauren jeans are made for $10 in Vietnam or wherever, and the only piece of that product protected by trademark is the little RL label (fashion designs cannot be protected). But that's all it takes.
Oh yeah that's a good point! That does change it quite a bit, as I wouldn't see, say, a lime green and yellow-bordered device and instantly think "Oh yeah, that's a multimeter" automatically.
I was a little young to comment on air travel before 1974 from personal experience, but I do recall international travel by ship in 1970 and, again, border controls were quite tight.
I think the major issue is turnaround time. It takes 7 hours to recharge my Leaf. How long would it take to charge a 777? Yes, "but swappable batteries!" And how long does it take to swap batteries including the inspection and paperwork that I'm sure must be required when swapping out a major component in a commercial passenger aircraft?
Hubspot may be a way to go depending on the stage you are at.
There was a good discussion on GrowthHackers on this recently: http://growthhackers.com/questions/ask-gh-is-hubspot-a-good-...
congrats on reaching this far.

many successful projects on kickstarter or indiegogo began with inviting a small strong userbase to support them for a "new xyz", donation drive with a big vision or ...something else you've always wanted for your community.

i recommend starting with a mailing list if you don't have one already, then saving to get a nice video done with your vision/crowded funded project.

Hehe, nope. It's the list where exploits and vulns are dropped, without getting into the circus and the money of responsible-coordinated-whatever. It's old style. It couldn't survive.
There's also the DNS lookup and the CRL lookup (or is there a newer replacement to CRLs?).
