OP here. Mandatory disclaimer: we're not affiliated with the OpenSSL Software Foundation but we thought it was a good idea to launch a commemorative Heartbleed t-shirt and donate all proceeds to the foundation.

The Teespring base cost for the t-shirt is around $11, the remaining $4 will be donated to the OpenSSL Software foundation once the campaign ends.

As the article says, Stripe's API docs are incredible. The article links directly to the API docs and the rest of their documentation is equally great[1]. There are a few weak spots, though, in particular around webhooks. I put together a little guide[2] a few months ago that describes what hooks fire, in what order, and under what conditions.

Sometimes, the best solution for bad behavior is making it have consequences.

By that logic, Bush and Rice met their promises. They didn't say they wouldn't invade anyone, they said they wouldn't do nation building.
You can always spin up http://owncloud.org/ - it sets up a WebDAV thingy, and there is an android photo sync app.
I'm floored by this news, and extremely disappointed with Dropbox. From the beginning I have been a huge proponent of Dropbox. I was lucky enough to get a free 50 GB account, and I use it for probably 30+ daily automated tasks. I will absolutely not be using Dropbox for any reason whatsoever if she remains on the board...I'm going to wait a week and see if they remove her and if not, bye bye.

She is an intellegent person, so could somebody explain too me why so many deem this a bad move without mentioning the War,WMDs,NSA or some political bias?

I'm all ears.
Good for them. It really helps when the entire company embraces a distributed workforce and not just having that "one guy".

I live in California, two hours away from the Bay Area, and I still cannot convince employers to hire remote. Yet they still send me recruiting emails.

It's almost like Socialism, where a populist sentiment is tried to be shoved down the throats of the corporations. I don't use dropbox, but I for sure appreciate their creative genius. It's their prerogative to appoint anyone they wish.

You might say it's your privilege to boycott, but then mass boycott is like mob mentality.
Postscript (and Display Postscript) worked quite well. PDF is also quite nice. We are just pushing HTML way past its original capability.
I don't [yet] use AWS but thanks for raising this issue.
I've been trying to avoid Amazon since they censored Wikileaks with a single phone call from a politician. I'll never forgive them for that. The fact that they're working with the CIA now just adds to the pile of reasons to dislike them.

Will history make a difference between IBM selling mainframes to Nazis to help their holocaust and Amazon selling servers to the CIA to help them assassinate people around the world and plan state coups? Maybe not quite on the same level, but pretty damn close.
>While there is often little difference in foreign policy, their approach to social issues is vastly different.

I think that this is a fiction put forth by the parties to inspire their more extreme members, but is false when you consider where the two parties fall on a full political spectrum. Take for example a couple of the most divisive social issues today:

Same Sex Marriage: Clinton signed DOMA 15 years ago, Obama was against SSM 3 years ago, and I would be surprised if the 2024 (or even 2020) republican presidential candidate wasn't OK with SSM. I would guess those numbers to be similar in opinion polls, meaning that Republican voters' opinions on SSM probably lag those of Democrats by about 10 years or so. It's hard for me to get behind the idea that one party is evil and worthy of divestment when the 'preferred' party only came around in the last 5 years.

Health care: One party wants a huge single payer system for the old and the poor, employer provided coverage for most others, and a highly privatized and mandatory system for the rest. The other party wants a huge single payer system for the old and the poor, employer provided coverage for most others, and a highly privatized and optional system for the rest. Who wants single payer for all? Who wants to abolish medicare?
"Dropbox and Third Parties allowed to access, scan, store and duplicate content"
And it's such a bizarre move. What's the upside?
Like I said below, this has nothing to do with her political beliefs. It has to do with actions she was directly involved in.

Describe what her political beliefs are and why people are objecting to them(and why they shouldn't object, as per your opinion), if you're so sure of your position. But you can't mention the words "war", "human rights", "surveillance". This leaves you with just the theoretical definition of her political beliefs.
I wouldn't say you "missed" it, Bob.
DK's letter is from 2002. Which makes it even more admirable.
Listen, war means death. Counter-terrorism means spying and surveillance, and unfortunately very often, torture.

Those are things a state does and has always been doing for the last 3000 years. The fact that we know about it, that we think about it as grown up, that we are trying to do otherwise whenever we can, and choose to prevent abuse is what makes us unique as a democratie.

Now please, let me laugh at those people in the valley that wants to pretend that they have some sort of political view because they are boycotting dropbox.

You may think the war in Iraq was a strategic mistake, or was useless, but don't try to pretend that Mrs Rice is the equivalent of some south american fascist and that corrupts whatever she touches. That's just a total lack of respect for the people that truely lived under those regimes.
Yep. I work in St Louis for a company based in Palo Alto. There's three of us working here out of a small office, and they were able to get a place for pretty cheap in a neighborhood with a lot going on. Our company's real estate manager is super big on finding us spaces that are close to lots of walkable things (for lunch, drinks after work, shopping, etc) and doesn't want people out in some suburban business park.

The team here in STL started out in late 2012 as one guy in a coworking space. I hired on eight months later. Another few months after that we picked up a third person and the company leased us a space, bought us video conferencing gear, gave us a budget for supplies and stocking the fridge, and has been super supportive of whatever else we might need.

I've been really happy with the whole arrangement. Collaborating over video conferencing and chat is pretty easy and I've rarely run into situations where I really felt out in left field. I've found that when I've visited the actual office, people have a fairly "heads-down, get your stuff done, and generally use asynchronous methods to bug people" work style anyway (and a lot of people prefer to work from home one or two days a week rather than ride Caltrain), which lends itself ok for remote teams.
sudo apt-get remove dropbox; rm -rvf ~/.dropbox ~/.dropbox-dist

Sure, I guess it depends how you interpret the world "rule". It could just be a recommendation, or people could be expelled for breaking it.
> if it's possible for that type to be out of the range of your constraint....If that's so, it throws an error.

If I'm understanding you correctly, that would seem to take a lot of the power out of dependent type systems. Almost all values will eventually depend on input from the outside world, so it seems you'd rarely have a chance to use your dependent type system.

Haskell (which doesn't have dependent types baked in) has a good approach to possibly-invalid data via the Maybe type. E.g. Maybe Int means "either an integer, or nothing." So it forces you to explicitly handle the possible error cases.[1]

To spell it out in Haskell terms: In the example of getting an integer from the keyboard, x is a Maybe Int. If the input is invalid, the value is set to Nothing, which is a unique constant. If it's valid, the value is of type Just Int.

> At that point you simply have to compose your types and functions so they match the constraint, and you know you are safe.

But how do you get from untrusted, potentially invalid data into the world of trusted, guaranteed-valid data? How do you bridge the gap? I was suggesting some combination of an applyConstraint function and a Maybe type to achieve that. Are there other ways?

[1] Actually, it will let you bypass the usual compile-time protections with the fromJust function. But if you want compile-time safety, either refrain from using fromJust, or use it only where you're absolutely sure the value won't be Nothing.
I assume he will do this as himself, and not as "Stephen Colbert"?
>Why is this? Because she was a part of the Bush administration? Because she is a Republican and we should hate Republicans? I mean, come on, isn't Al Gore on Apple's Board? He's no saint!

>No. This is not an issue of partisanship.

Okay, let's read on then...

3 of the 4 reasons OP explained are directly linked with her being a part of the Bush Administration.

I do believe having Ms. Rice on board is a bad idea. But please don't say one say one thing ("it's not because she was a part of the Bush administration") and then do other ("IT IS because she was a part of the Bush administration").

Bad way to get people behind you, and makes you look painfully unserious.
EXACTLY!!! If you're going to accuse someone of "partisan" politics, you must provide a counterexample.

Rice is a well-known villain on the internet. It's not a surprise people will react this way to her.
How about prescribing nutrient rich food?
Sodium does not implement TLS.
Have we learned nothing from the Mozilla incident ? Liberals do not forget. Liberals do not forgive. Not even the liberals donating against gay marriage themselves [1].

This happens when people get power and feel confident. Perfect ideological adherence is a basic condition, hurting and damaging valuable people the order of the day [2].

And what makes people attackable by these liberals ? Because Obama kills babies in their sleep using robots paid by taking 50% of your paycheck. That does not seem to damage him.

And, it doesn't really matter what the answer to that question is, I'll hate people even more if I ever do find out I think.

Enjoy it while it lasts, guys. Because it won't last.

I believe this and Eich are easy targets (soft targets if we want to keep with the war theme) for people to go after.

Seeing the internet mob rally behind this and Eich remind me that these are easy targets for people to pick because it doesn't require much work (internet slacktivisim at work).

It would be more enlightening if someone would research all of the board members of many well known SV companies whos names none of us know, and post all of their political donations and leanings we might not all get along with, then we can see how picky we are in our outrage. Board members of Apple and Tesla donating to groups overseas who violate human rights? How about Apple supporting Foxconn, where is the boycott in that?

Eich and Rice are just being picked because it is easy to change your Facebook picture to protest, throw together a quick .com, or if you are really motivated write a petition on whitehouse.gov to show your outrage, vs. real actual sleuthing to determine if you agree with said Big Corp.

Unfortunately the latter takes much more work and that isn't in the general interest of those of us clicking +1 to show our "outrage"...
I have done this. It's ok, but you have to tinker a bit to get big (GB+- is that even big anymore?) files to upload with the web interface. It might be worth your while to get something a bit more powerful (sheevaplug, etc.)
They wanted a board member with international experience, as they hope to expand internationally. Including, as TechCrunch put it, to "deal with foreign governments that have blocked its use".

I was looking at their site for a while and I really have no idea what they sell. I'm sure it's just a communication issue, but it seems kind of weird. Like I have to register to find out that I will get a client for free but pay $10K/month for the enterprise software or something.

How do they make money? Apparently you use your own server so you must buy the code?
Don't buy hardware you can't run your own software on. Even embedded software.

There are tons of great routers, both consumer and business class that have Atheros CPU and WiFi chipsets that lack binary blob firmware, and support both Linux and BSD:

http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/start
https://wiki.freebsd.org/FreeBSD/mips

Pick software first, then hardware that supports it. It's how we do everything else, and routers are no different.
This is a great way to express political opinion in a capitalist society where the ballot box is ineffectual. I hope we see more of it.
Loved It!

One comment I might have is that your model assumes the average temperature on a given day of the year is constant across years. I would have to spend some time thinking of how to control for it, but have you considered the impact of climactic oscillation? Your data seems to reflect these patterns to some degree, and removing/reducing them might make the overall shift clearer.

> (and let's not forget his brutal conquest of Kuwait)

Oh! Fun with loaded words.

Between 300 and 1,000 Kuwaiti civilians were killed during the invasion and occupation.

I'm not one fo defend Mr Hussein's record, but that's pretty gentle as invasions go. The Russian bombardments of Grozny killed around 30,000 civilians; in one barrage on one day in October 1999 alone 120 were killed. Now that is brutal.
So you're participating in the "witch-hunt", you just don't want it to seem like you are?
From say, Condolezza Rice?
Oh I know Fermi hahaha, my hometown is literally next to Batavia (Geneva). I just wasn't listing all of the labs.

It was a bit surprising to me, but each lab really seems to have a completely different overall culture set, and then it splinters even further within each group. I worked at Livermore one summer, and the differences between them and Oak Ridge (my current employer) are stark. Part of it is that these labs do a lot of local hiring, so they get shaped by regional values.

Conversely, my significant other is an experimental nuclear physics PhD candidate who works at Brookhaven. Their stuff is open and international, while the labs I've worked at have very strict guards on information sharing and international collaboration.
In the last paragraph OP writes "I implore you to allow us to sort our own repos. I know that there are mixed feelings about Windows 8's tile layout for their start menu, but I think that's the sort of thing that we need for project sorting."

Just like they've been grouping projects on their explore pages -- https://github.com/explore -- I would love to see this functionality availble to users to sort repos on their own profile pages as well.

Smacky Cars – I think I have a winner
A couple days ago I released a very simple yet fun and extremely challenging game called Smacky Cars for both iOS and Android where you control a car which drives in the opposite direction of the traffic and you have to avoid the incoming cars by tapping left or right to change lanes. That's it! The game features retro pixel graphics and is extremely fun to play and I think (hope!) very addicting.

Since the release I have received many positive comments, everybody seems to love it and I have the feeling that I need just a little push in the right direction to make it a real hit.

I started contacting all the review sites out there and played around with ads on AdMob, Facebook and iAd’s.

What are the best ways to help such a game go viral?

I would love to hear your tips and ideas and if you want to check out the game you can download it for free here to give me some feedback:

And it looks like the same is happening to Sublime Text, which is why I've moved to PHPStorm.
So what do you think about foreign developers who work for American companies (that are outsourced muscle)? That they are inferior? I feel like I'm being hostile now, but that is what seems to must follow, if you even accept the term outsourcing.

I think outsourcing is either motivated by 1. cost, which does not necessarily have anything to do with quality, might just be that the cost of living is very different, and the cost of living difference in this case seems to be non-negligible. 2. Expertise; we, as a company, don't want to/can't have an X department, so you guys can take care of it.

A possible barrier to productive outsourcing is a mismatch in cultures. In that case, you can't really blame the outsourced party for not being American/German/Austrian... This is a thing that can mask itself as incompetence.
The very beginning started out great with:

"Randi Zuckerberg is CEO of Zuckerberg Media, which, according to its 10-K, is an iphone. If you have no idea who she is, and you shouldn't, then the answer to your one and only question is yes."

I guess that should've tipped me off to the insanity I as about to dive into. (Also his stream of conscious is a little too similar to mine and it's never nice to meet yourself)
As someone who works with many French and Danish colleagues... If they didn't respond after 6pm ever, the turnaround for anything involving the west coast of the United States would be ridiculous. There would be no chance for any real-time communication.

For example, I wake up, see email at 8:30am asking me to do something. Not all information is provided, so I fire an email back at 9am/6pm in France. Oops, too late. They don't respond til 10am their time, which happens to be 1am here, and I already fell asleep.
I completely agree, I've worked at 4 different start-ups and the successful ones weren't about ideas, they were about hard work and talent.
Judging by the recruiter spam I get, it's not entirely true that SV companies are not looking outside SV for employees -- it's just that they expect them to move to SF to work for their company. About 90% of the recruiter spam I get is from companies based in SF, but most of them are not open to remote workers.
From a technical perspective its beautiful. but what's makes you different from the other 100,000 job sites? they all have mapping and you can save a search and get alerts and drop them on a map... So I guess I don't get it...

I currently work for a big job board and have been working in the JB online market for 10 years.
> You can't just say "this one thing your doing isn't going to make a radical paradigm shifting difference, so you should just sit around until someone drops one of those in your lap."

You're presenting a false dichotomy.

If I am concerned with how my government handles privacy, shouldn't I take it up with the government? If I am concerned with how my goverment tortures and murders people, shouldn't I take it up with the goverment?

I understand people like Ms. Rice are hard to prosecute because most of the government data that would serve as evidence are kept secret for a long time, if not forever. Isn't that just another point which you should take up with the government? Bullying some private citizen because you can't sue him through legal means seems hardly fair.

But you said it had nothing to do with her political beliefs - Going to war against Iraq is a political statement as she and others believed that WMDs were there and posed a threat to the region and the World. It's a political belief. I'm not arguing your moral stance. What I see is wanting something both ways - being able to say you don't disagree with politics of the woman, then disagreeing with the politics of the woman. (BTW, I'm not incensed, I'm the type that could argue all day with someone and then go shoot the breeze with a cold one later)

If you don't believe every country in the world doesn't try to bug any country they have an investment in, rather it be ally or enemy, you're naive. I can't believe it even came as surprise that US bugged its allies, you don't believe our allies do the same thing, or at least try to, to us?
As I said, I don't care. I don't believe anyone has any choice in this, so opinions don't matter. Yours. Mine. That doesn't stop me from stating my opinion. Really, I see this as nothing more than a writing exercise. It's more fun than the writing I do at my job, and that, well I need that.

Also I work in the US. I have controversial opinions, which I believe to be based on obvious facts, but for obvious reasons I don't express them at work.

So here we are. What should we do ?
I think the difference is, people have been calling for boycotts of Amazon for various reasons for years, and it's never made any difference to anything. They are too entrenched. I guess people are buoyed by the success of the anti-Eich campaign and think, perhaps correctly, that it might actually be practically possible to pressure Dropbox into dropping Rice.
Good point. To be honest, I was somewhat surprised to see 'declarative programming' in the list, as well, given the ubiquity of SQL and regular expressions; plus, as others have said, FP's declarative nature.
The states of Sweden, Denmark, Holland, Finland, Belgium, Norway do no such things. US, China, Russia and others on the other hand do. So don't feed me this 3000 years crap.

US is not trying to do otherwise, Rice wasn't trying to do otherwise. Dropbox board, Dropbox top management lost all my trust as soon as they agreed to work with the person responsible for lots of human suffering. It's simple really, its about the character of people running dropbox.
I thought this was going to be about Heartbleed...darn.
