As for Amazon, I've been paying cash for the Amazon gift cards at the local grocery store. For other sites, I'm using GreenDot, a debit card that can be used online like a credit card. I can keep a low balance on it so if it ever gets compromised I won't be out very much. However, the over $5 a month charge is a pain and I'm looking for something similar but cheaper.
A lot of processors have offered that service for years.

Amazon, being their own processor, probably stores their own numbers, but if Visa themselves would start tokenizing, that would be huge and awesome.
AMD Is Exploring A Very Interesting, More-Open Linux Driver Strategy
To entrepreneurs, business people, managers, etc.:

Please remember that your company is more than its product – it’s a group of people surrounded by a community of family, children, neighbors, etc. Whether your goal is world-changing or niche, do your best to take care of those people as professionally as you can. Business is business of course, but don’t rationalize bending the rules just to make a few more bucks.

If you get caught, you’ll pay. But even if you get away with it, remember how powerful a guilty conscience can be at turning profits into dust.
Same here, I am not happy with the way they changed the delivery dates after I ordered or how they changed the status of my order to "backordered" without notifying me at all.
The ultimate software architecture: http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?AlternateHardAndSoftLayers
I'd like to offer a different approach - do not organize a separate work environment. Do not build a copy of your day job routine at home.

Try to reset your mind off the 9 to 5 work mode schedule. Be free and open to new experience. Let inspiration come to you at any time. Choose when, how and where you work. It can be early morning in bed. Afternoon in a coffee shop. Lunch time in a park, whatever. Do not build artificial restrictions. They will come on their own with clients and deadlines. Keep it flexible, exciting, adventurous.

But above all - be mindful of your body. Stay active. Hike, bike, run, anything. Find sport you like. Go out regularly and play it. You will meet new people, socialize and keep yourself fit. Physical fitness is a direct feedback loop to your overall condition.

Good luck.
The issue with target wasn't someone intercepting between the reader and the terminal. The terminal, or heck, even the store's servers, could do the encryption and it wouldn't be terribly difficult or time consuming to do (as opposed to firmware upgrades).

While we're cataloging security technologies that have failed, we should add S/MIME-based email encryption to the heap. (Well, except for those organizations that have centrally-managed keys and infrastructure for internal email encryption.)

I know that some savvy users encrypt email, but in the age of the NSA, payload-encrypted email should be the default case.

I work as an e-learning systems developer for large FE college in the UK, it is very stable and rewarding job that allows me to innovate. It is a public sector job and as such the wages aren't as good as working in the private sector but I do have good working hours and a very generous holiday entitlement, because of this I get plenty of time to pursue personal projects.

I'm currently trying to set myself up as a freelancer and consultant to supplement my wages and maybe if it takes off I can make the transition from full time employed to full time self-employed.

Because my full time job allows me to innovate I've developed my skills an enormous amount while working there, I now get asked to give talks in industry events about the work that I have been doing which gives me a massive confidence boost. I actually worry that moving away from my full time job would stop me from being able to develop my skills and experience at the rate I have been doing.

So I guess that if you have a job that makes you feel like you're lining someone else's pockets with little reward for yourself then you're working for the wrong company!
Yes, I'm afraid both of your points are true.

Short version :)

Since I was deeply involved in Tibet issue I decided to visit Tibet and spend two months travelling there to see the situation with my own eyes.

By chance I came to a small village called Ashuk in Kham (east Tibet, located in Sichuan province). The first impression was not good - everything was just mud. Mud houses standing next to the muddy road. The only nice place with decent food was the house of a local Rinpoche. One day I was bored and I baked a simple cake. He tried it and said I should stay there.

I ended staying there for three months. Mud was just one face of the place. Sun, green grasslands and incredibly kind people the other one.

In the next village I met a young buddhist master who was working on establishing a home and school for orphans. Helping him gave me a real reason to stay longer. We ended up opening the school in 2006 and it is still going strong [1].

I published a book about it [2] in Slovenia and hopefully I'll manage to do the English translation this or next year.

For my private domains I use zonesigner from dnssec-tools. No database, no additional daemons, doesn't need to be run on the same machine as the DNS server. It takes the input zone file and keys; spits out a signed zone file. Couldn't be any simpler.

DNSSEC will IMHO be like IPv6 and it will see some adoption after a long march.

Have they already paid you the previous work in cash?

Do they have any investors? What was their equity price? How long ago did this round happen?

They will give you the equity in a written contract or only an informal oral promise?

Do you have to pay them ... because they need to ... in order to ...?

Just assume that equity is worthless. The company may flop, the new CEO may be a douchebag and use a loophole to dilute your equity, the fine print legal conditions may have unexpected surprises, ...

Get 95% of the contract value in cash and take a 5% in equity (just in case they are the next Google), but don't expect get too much value from it.
Solving the unsolvable: A quantum boost for supercomputing
Apologies for the extreme simplification, but I think the time line assumed in your post is backwards: during the industrial revolution (and long after) there wasn't much of a reason to think about this, given the surplus of manual labor and fast technological advancements. It was not a very humane time.

Ever since I started using Simple, I haven't worried too much about my card info getting stolen and used without me realizing. I instantly get a push notification whenever my card is charged, so I am mentally confirming every time I spend.
A charge back doesn't immediately make the merchant eat the cost. The merchant has a chance to rebuttal the dispute (show proof of purchase and delivery &c). If the merchant did nothing wrong the card issuer eats the cost, and if said person makes a habit of doing bad charge backs you better believe their card will be canceled.

Just saying, charge backs should be used as a last resort, not in spite or without even contacting the merchant. They can negatively affect the consumer if the consumer abuses them.

I'd also like to point out that plenty of us with plenty of karma also have some degree of RSI (repetitive strain injury, sometimes loosely called carpal tunnel syndrome (that's just one of many forms of RSI)), in part acquired by what allowed us to get so much karma.

No way can I afford to spend a lot of mousing and clicking on a zillion "pending" comments to make them visible to the hoi polli. Heck, ignoring the greater good, why would I personally care, I've probably got enough karma to see everything.
There was a recent This American Life episode that demonstrated the human impact of our absurd system, where hyperlocal property taxes set school quality. I thought it was a particularly strong episode.

Oh yes. I remember my favorite bartender who after a divorce kept herself afloat working part-time retail and tending bar. There aren't many alternatives in nowhere rustbelt America. She rented an apartment that was in the only decent school district in town, all other schools were quite like juvie hall. About 75 % of her income must have gone to rent. When her youngest son had finished school she moved.

I cannot fault this decision, education is important, and when you are near minimum wage a support system is important. Moving to where the jobs are isn't the panacea it's made out to be on this website.
Here's the actual post from Zuck:

Mark Zuckerberg
March 13

As the world becomes more complex and governments everywhere struggle, trust in the internet is more important today than ever.

The internet is our shared space. It helps us connect. It spreads opportunity. It enables us to learn. It gives us a voice. It makes us stronger and safer together.

To keep the internet strong, we need to keep it secure. That's why at Facebook we spend a lot of our energy making our services and the whole internet safer and more secure. We encrypt communications, we use secure protocols for traffic, we encourage people to use multiple factors for authentication and we go out of our way to help fix issues we find in other people's services.

The internet works because most people and companies do the same. We work together to create this secure environment and make our shared space even better for the world.

This is why I've been so confused and frustrated by the repeated reports of the behavior of the US government. When our engineers work tirelessly to improve security, we imagine we're protecting you against criminals, not our own government.

The US government should be the champion for the internet, not a threat. They need to be much more transparent about what they're doing, or otherwise people will believe the worst.

I've called President Obama to express my frustration over the damage the government is creating for all of our future. Unfortunately, it seems like it will take a very long time for true full reform.

So it's up to us -- all of us -- to build the internet we want. Together, we can build a space that is greater and a more important part of the world than anything we have today, but is also safe and secure. I'm committed to seeing this happen, and you can count on Facebook to do our part.

What he's saying is that the views you want to be SEO'd can be generated server side and bootstrapped into Backbone (hook backbone views into an element that is rendered server side).

I currently do this too - I'll add that it is helpful to use a templating language that will work both server side and client side so you only write your templates once.

What does become a pain is doing routers/controllers both client side and server side - end up writing some code more than once and in different languages. Harder to maintain, especially when changes are made.

That's cool because I can imagine for a picture site you want all pictures to gravitate around the consensus, a strong self-selecting group-think can be very desirable.

You missed that "what they would do if they were not in the convenient position of being the email host" is subpoena the email host. Unfortunately, you can't really subpoena yourself. Nor is it clear that they could subpoena the user here and compel the user to give information to Microsoft that Microsoft already has.

The EFF suggests getting the FBI involved and having them serve a court-approved warrant, but that doesn't work if you want to keep this a purely civil process and not involve the police (and given recent abuse of police powers for relatively minor crimes, getting the FBI involved is probably not something to be categorically encouraged).
I did all sorts of things -- and filled many often "menial" tasks outside of my official job description.

All I ever really wanted was a quiet workspace where I could concentrate. Corporate America nonetheless continually insisted that this one thing was impossible, "unproductive", and not going to happen.

"Happiness". Our latest buzzword. Well, my consistent message was that I needed this one thing to be "happy". And my results, even without this being provided, were far above average.

ALL this "talk" and "analysis" about what makes people "better workers", is -- put into this context -- bullshit. It is simply BULLSHIT.

That is it, in a word.

Companies that don't have "productive workers"? Stop looking at the workers. Start looking at yourselves. And if you can't actually listen to what your workers actually have to say? Well then, just fuck off.
Thinking about it a bit, I bet this wasn't born out of a desire to want to keep wages down per se, but a desire to avoid turnover of productive up-to-speed people.

It's quite funny to see that the downsides of near-instantaneous at-will employment are hitting companies so hard that they're willing to engage in such a boneheaded scheme, when sympathy is normally focused on employees.

Perhaps if these companies want to bring back some semblance of employee loyalty, they should start incorporating longer termination notice periods in their contracts and making employees happy before they want to leave, rather than treating individuals as interchangeable cogs and getting what they ask for.
You don't actually need all $6T, because most people will be paying taxes that equal or exceed what they receive from BI.

You mentioned earlier that BI disincentivizes work. How so? It seems to me that it would not, because the basic income doesn't disappear the instant you start working even a little bit.
Alternately, perhaps the media don't report this because it's simply too complicated or nuanced for a sound bite, or irrelevant to their audience. Who wants to hear some of the most highly-compensated people in America complain about their employers conspiring to suppress their already unimaginable-for-many salaries?

Specifically for software as a service, we now spend nothing, for any of my businesses.

We do outsource various infrastructure things to specialists. Hosting and payment collection are the two largest categories.

However, our experience has been that every time we've considered SaaS, it comes down to a balance something like this:

Pros:

- Saves time.

- Offers a tried and tested solution to some problem.

Cons:

- Requires effort up-front to integrate it.

- Requires effort up-front to customize it to fit our needs as well as it can.

- Such customization isn't always possible.

- We're allergic to lock-in, and we've seen goalposts moved after our money has been taken in the past.

- May have deal-breaking privacy/security implications.

- Has ongoing costs, which may or may not scale favourably as we grow.

The only areas that tip towards SaaS on that balance for any of our projects tend to be very simple tasks that require negligible effort to integrate or customize, involve no data that is highly sensitive or valuable, and are expendable without causing noticeable harm to our business while we make other arrangements. In other words, they're things where the cons don't really apply because it's not big or important enough to worry about them. Most of those are readily available as someone's free plan anyway at the kinds of scales we're talking about here.

For anything more important than that, we've found that doing things manually at first soon shows up which areas will most benefit from automation for any given project, and we tend to automate heavily once a need becomes clear. We just do it the old-fashioned way using scripting, spreadsheets, and various other software tools that have proven helpful.

I also kept Flash around mainly for this reason. It doesn't help people that want to make streaming video sites, but you don't need Flash to watch live video streams from sites like twitch.tv. You just need a media player capable of playing streaming video (mpc-hc, mpv, and vlc all work), and the livestreamer command line tool which extracts direct video stream URLs from twitch.tv pages.

This works perfectly for me, arguably better than the Flash-based player. I uninstalled Flash a few months ago and haven't felt the need since.
The Brookings paper is extremely wonkish, but their medians (among the 'wealthy hand to mouth') are wealth less than $100,000 and more than 50% of it as housing.
I don't think I'd draw the line as high as "gym rats." I was brought up in a family with a vegan mother, and at home generally had to conform to that same diet. During university, I had a majorly carb based (very unhealthy as well) diet. Across all three, when I finally had the money to buy good quality meat on a regular basis (3-4 times a week), I not only felt FAR better, but my rather light workout regimen (2 sessions a day, 3 reps of 30 set's of a variety of free weight exercises), became FAR more effective. I put on ~10-20 pounds within a few short months, and found myself far more capable in terms of both performing and recovering from the rather simple physical tasks I do as a sysadmin (staying on my feet most of the day, racking rather heavy servers)

Now, this is all anecdotal, I was just addressing that my body responded in a way that suggested that I did "require" the protein.

With regards to the more formal argument, I'd word it more that you put yourself more "at risk" for certain health hazards by cutting ANY core part of the diet out. It's certainly easy to prove meat is "bad" but most of the studies I had seen involved excessive consumption, which defaults back to the general statement of "all things in moderation". Do you have references that show the former (negative effects) without the latter? (ineffective dietary balance).

To summarize, I'd agree if we're only talking in extremes, that it's very easy to show that meat is bad. So I'd qualify all my previous statements with "a well balanced diet"
I agree. This is the reason I'm going to try and get into WWDC this year. I doubt they show hardware, but I bet we'll get first access at APIs and design guidelines.
I'd be interested in seeing statistics on how well Arduinos that aren't compatible with shields sell. In my opinion, Arduino's biggest contribution to making it easier to get started in embedded development has been shields and the compatibility they bring.

Code can be shared easily. Users can debug others code over the internet. The same cannot be said with hardware, at least to the same degree. Schematics and the physical implementation of a circuit are not the same thing. Having the peripheral hardware on compatible PCBs fixes that problem.
Would love to hear from you!

Considering MongoDB has only been around for the "last few years", I think it is maturing well. You are certainly free to call it the PHP of Databases, but there are a lot of developers that have learned to use it and are quite happy with it. Seems like most on Hacker News spend more time telling them why they are stupid than actually understanding the tool.

(Also, some guy by the name of Zuckerberg made a TON of money with PHP.)

Also, the tool is still in its toddler years ... and it is constantly compared to tools that have been around years longer (PG/MySQL). Comparing it to other NoSQL databases is just as silly (Riak, Cassandra) because they are completely different, have different constraints and are solving different problems.

There aren't better choices ... there are just different tools that are better for different jobs. It would be like looking at your toolbox and chunking everything but your saw or your hammer. Too many people are looking for the "technology to rule them all", but that doesn't (and shouldn't) exist.
