That's nice sounding cynicism, but it's not obvious that the math actually comes out that way. Consider:

I wasn't advocating for funding the government through fines. There are ways to broadly tax undesirable things.

And, yes, governments should budget with shifting revenue levels in mind. But I think we already have that problem at the state and local level, and I'm certain that our current taxes on income and capital gains are not the only way to mitigate those risks.
Smoke a little weed before you go on a purposeless walk. Make sure you have at least a distance, like a mile, that you want to walk. Also, be sure you're in a dense urban environment.

I guarantee it will be one of the most inspirational activities you can do for yourself. I probably do this once a week in SF, and it really dislodges my thoughts/stresses from the previous week.
We left them basically: see my handle post history. As a result, our company is left harboring very negative feelings to Google overall (be it acquisition talks down the road or another kind of future interaction)
Still scratching my head at the C#/httplistener results. Ostensibly it should be pretty close to what a native C++ implementation should look like performance-wise, as a good chuck of the work on the raw text results is done by http.sys.

To count the number of page faults during execution, use:

perf stat <executable>

Page faults occur after anonymous pages are mmap'ed for the heap, either mapping a common zero page, then faulted again for a memory write. Prefaulting the page with MAP_POPULATE flag to mmap can help reduce the number of page faults.

Shared libraries are also mmap'ed and faulted in, and doing it this way saves memory for things that aren't used. But if paying the penalty for faulting the pages when used outweighs the memory savings, it might be better to use MAP_POPULATE here too. It might worth trying to add an LD_LIBRARY_XXX option to tell the loader to use MAP_POPULATE. Statically linking the executable will also reduce the number of faults (sections are combined, etc.)
What would have been done in 3? What are you talking about?
Okay, my facts weren't entirely correct.

The HTML of the form shows as POSTing to the same page, but the Stripe JS captures the submit event and cancels it, then makes an API call to Stripe's server via a secure connection. It works, but it is still somewhat vulnerable to MitM attacks.

I like @lessig's latest response. Much more firm and reassuring:

Your comment is the most insensitive, self-righteous, arrogant, dismissive comment I have ever seen online! For God's sake--the man died! Have you no compassion for his loss or what his family may be feeling? It appears that you think you have some incredible wisdom about the causes of death or health. SHAME ON YOU! Here's something to think about: No one gets out alive or without tragedy and suffering in life.It is the human condition! So when your health crisis hits or some other life tragedy, please remember vividly your words and callousness about Seth.

wouldn't an ~8GB page/swap file being continuously rewritten on a 250GB drive still consume a non-negligible number of write cycles over several days / weeks at most?
It's more like reading reddit, when you're waiting for a heavy computation, you're not exploring results, tuning the algorithm or anything. You're just stuck on your tracks by a stupid machine. If anything, you'll be conservative in your use of the slow algorithm, because you don't want to lose another half day. You can't fiddle. Even if you try to be productive reading something smart in the mean time, you'll be interrupted by the end of the computation, and you'll be completely out of context when analyzing the results.

(Note that it's the same when testing takes a long time, coincidentally, the same company had a long running product and 80 minute test cycle, so everybody was paid to take coffee)

> Filling into sites and gathering the necessary information for this I think is far easier than determining how a password change takes place.

Maybe start talking it out with browser developers and big websites stuff so there's a way to standardise an endpoint or in-page meta-information allowing for automated password reset?
This is why you sign an exclusion clause when you start anywhere. I don't know why this is so crazy. Salaried employees are paid regardless of hours worked, which means that you are technically always employed, regardless if you're expected to be working.

If you're paid hourly, then there's a clear demarcation between working hours and not, being a salaried employee blurs that line. That's why many states have regulations as to who can be salaried and how.
The only thing controversial about this article should be whether it applies to quantum phenomena. The author touches on Bell's theorem etc., but that might distract from the main part of the argument: chance doesn't cause anything, at least on an ordinary human scale. Chance is the catch-all word we use for causes we don't understand.

Probability doesn't describe reality but rather our understanding of reality. If you flip a coin and look at it without showing me, its state is certain for you and random for me because you know something I don't know. If I assign it a 50-50 chance of being heads, I'm making a statement about my uncertainty regarding the coin, not the coin.
As I understand it, the risks of nano particles are difficult to gauge in advance because their interaction with biological systems depends in part on their surface shape. This is different from typical understandings of chemical toxicity, which depend primarily on composition and dosage.

As much as I like the story, those stories are like exceptional lotto millionaire stories which keep the app rush alive, despite growing stats that overwhelming majority of app entrepreneurs can't make enough for a living, just with one app. So other kids, don't put too much hope on the possibility that you could do the same.

I think it's quite ironic that you just received four different suggestions of how to solve this problem. None of that would even be necessary if they didn't try to hide the information in the first place.
Why would you assume Carmack did everything he gave to Zenimax in his time off?

It seems a lot more likely to me that he felt he was entitled to spend his time however he saw fit and did the VR work during work hours. I doubt if it would have even occurred to him to differentiate between "work time" and "time off".
What I love about this kid is that he admits it's a "stupid" app. If we could get a lot of SV to admit the same thing, perhaps we'd have a healthier culture.

But no, it's business-y-fake-success-killing-it-bullshit all the way down.

I don't think you're going to get very far with a contentious approach. Really, I think the partners are just looking for thoughtful and considered answers to any objections they raise.

My team at New Relic in Portland, OR is hiring a couple of engineers to help us make everything better and break our code into services.

Come work in a community of some of the best engineers in our industry, tackling some of the toughest technical problems of your career in a supportive, collaborative environment. You'll be part of one of the company's key initiatives: breaking a large, complex Rails app into services to support multiple products and allow our teams to work more independently. We've developed some really interesting patterns for doing this, and we will discover many more with your help.

One of these positions is more focused on authentication and authorization services. If you're interested in becoming a security engineer, this could be a great position for you to bridge the gap. Send me an email if you're interested: dcelis {AT} newrelic {DOT} com
I'm having a hard time understanding this, but comments here and other places make it very apparent that most users use Foursquare in different ways. That makes growth and innovation quite the challenge.

What doesn't make sense to me: at the core, users that (still) use Foursquare use it to check in. From there we vary, but we check in. More importantly, that's the perception around the app. Changing perceptions with an existing brand is difficult. Why move the existing user base to a new app built around checkins (Swarm) and try to rebrand the checkin app (Foursquare) to attract new users and compete with Yelp?

Confused? Me too.

Job title: Bearer of Bad Tidings.

Downside first: not getting to build something that people want. In fact, having to build things that people explicitly don't want.

Now the upside: Runtimes. Linkers. Crypto. Kernel code. Whole operating systems. WinAPI, POSIX, Mach. Bluetooth. Messaging systems. Payments. iPhone apps. Android apps. Chipsets. Ajax. Javascript parsers. C. FFIs to C in your favorite language. Ruby. Scala. Lisp. Electronic trading markets. Firmware. Reverse engineering. Lattice basis reduction and Fourier-transform search algorithms. Middleware. Crawling around in the ventilation ducts of the world's most popular and important applications.

We have strong teams (larger than most YC companies) at each of our offices. They're some of the smartest, funnest people you could ever want to work with, and you'll get to work with all of them; we mix and match teams from across the country. Interested in hardware? In cryptography? In exploit development? In large-scale web crawling? We offer opportunities to work with some of the best in the industry.

We have the best clients; our client base is a pretty good cross section of this whole hiring thread.

Are you an HN regular? You can't possibly waste my time with questions. We love smart people who can code who want to learn software security.

People are unwilling to be the person others vote for. You can see this time and again on HN; every time someone points out, "This is a democracy; if you have a problem with it, you can run for office and do better," the response is a mindless, "Well, I can't afford it."

Agreed. One of the nice deliberative democracy ideas was that we would set aside time and space for discussing politics. I'd like to see more of that, even though I don't fully agree with the entire gamut of that philosophy.

> I find it hard to imagine that an industry veteran like Carmack would write code for another company while employed with another and proving some bit of proprietary advice was incorporated into the product would be difficult.

Back in the day id programmers shared snippets of code with whoever they wanted - they didn't need to ask any corporate overseer for permission. There were a few little bits found when the GarageGames/Tribes engine code was first released, for example. (pretty sure they got those lines of code from Brian Hook, but it's been a long time...)
