To great extend this applies to YC as well.
I'm frequently not on Snowden's side (and Clapper being wrong doesn't necessarily make Snowden right), but he's completely on point here. Clapper directly lied to Congress under oath. He needs some kind of censure.
Isn't it just a matter of price though? If I was ready to accept a job for 100K, and someone said, "We'll own your non-working hours IP and pay you 300k" I would probably do it. Then I would work for them for a year, and do my own stuff for two. Companies try to make people sign it for free, but I view it as a negotiable item with a price, rather than a morality issue.
Email sent from something like GMail is really no better. Google can associate keywords with the recipient as well as the sender. They can't show ads to the recipient directly, but if they can associate that email with an identity elsewhere...

This might not be what you're actually looking for, but I just set up a new laptop, and after a week of trying to get it to dual boot (UEFI, eh?) decided to run Linux in VMWare under Windows instead. I've got to say, Windows+VMWare makes a darn good hardware abstraction layer, which means I don't need to worry nearly so much about crappy driver stuff.
But what will happen once there are "value objects" in the language? Will the new libraries be needed? Will the existing ones get some new genericity?

I'm looking for 100% remote working opportunities that will enable me to leave the UK and fulfil my dream of living in the Pyrenees. ~15 years experience, including both front- and back-end. I have strong personal commitments to accessibility, progressive enhancement and unit testing; my next role will allow me to support all three.
I like him too. It's dangerous, as I could see pissing away a weekend reading everything he ever wrote. :-)
If you're sure it's a slam-dunk case that you can prove it's a spurious allegation, then go have your fun. But it's very easy to get emotionally invested in your position and fail to realize that not everyone will see things the same way.

Let me use an example: have you ever had a less-than-friendly breakup? Whose fault was it? Do you think both of you would answer that question the same way? At the time of the breakup, how much conviction did you have that you were in the right? How sure are you that a third party, that's not in either of your heads, would share your view with the same conviction?
That doesn't make sense actually. Who would need to test for youtube performance 24/7 at 20s intervals?

Let's say $40 per annum, i.e. $3.33/month, to pay for a browser like we do for an OS. I'd be willing to pay for an essential piece of software that needs to be independent and look after me and my data.

Simplifying, 39% of the world's 7.1bn population is using the internet [1]. That's 2.8bn people.
Opera, the least popular major browser, has a 1.8% market share [2].

If the $40 browser could match that share, it'd be a $2bn p.a. business.

Why hasn't it happened already? Are we so enamoured with "free" software that this couldn't get off the ground?

Things We Hate About Email
I'm not really on one side of the argument or the other, but disabling root login means that an attacker doesn't automatically know the name of an account where login is permitted for one. Certainly not the best security mechanism, but if there happened to be some 0-day on the SSH server, you're much more likely to be safe from automated attacks.
I'm excited about this not because I'd use them in Java, but because JVM support for value types could make the case classes I'm using in Scala much more efficient.

Agreed. The average American will see the game, and immediately understand that it is a metaphor for an employee - employer relationship, and act accordingly. This tribe has no such social construct, so they assume that both the "employee" and "employer" are family. In this light, both sets of responses become logical and rational again.
Just an FYI, those who may be doing the hiring may have no understanding of how to contact you. I'd highly suggest to add your email as well. Make it as easy as possible for someone to reach out.

Crowdstorming research
From the research paper:
"It’s about another exotic group: people from Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, and Democratic (WEIRD) societies. In particular, it’s about the Western, and more specifically American, undergraduates who form the bulk of the database"

The article seemed to blur the lines quite a bit; I thought the original question was justified and not worthy of downvotes. (why are we downvoting people that ask questions, or maybe, just maybe, misunderstood something?)

What I'm Looking For: The next step in my career.

In my current job, I run the tech stack for a small online training company. This includes managing the server, squashing bugs, handling tech support, tying together various APIs, and building out new features. I am outgrowing the role and looking for something that is more challenging and allows me more time for programming.

I have been programming casually for 15 years and professionally for almost 6. In that time I have done: SEO, AdWords, managed complex marketing campaigns with InfusionSoft, setup membership sites, built WordPress plugins, launched a handful of side projects, and watched a lot of Netflix.

Looking for remote work, with a heavier focus on programming. Always willing to learn new things and take new paths. Potentially interested in a CTO type of role for a small team.

It's not always that simple. There is never anything wrong with talking about a case in principle. As an attorney myself I am often asked to look over this sort of article, press release or other notification. I encourage my clients to be open if they have nothing to hide.

However even posting honest, accurate articles online can come back to haunt you. Unless written very precisely, words can be interpreted by different people differently and often in a way that wasn't intended by the author.

This process doesn't have to be a cynical twisting of words - naturally, a reader's interpretation will be informed by their pre-existing point of view. When that view is one of a litigant, it can open up new issues in a case and lead to new ways to analyse evidence.

If you are posting about a case, make sure you're doing it calmly and definitely get it edited by your lawyer!

BS in computer science, many years of development experience x86 asm, C, C++, .NET and recently almost exclusively JS. I've worked on video games, large enterprise projects and many data visualization projects with D3.

I've taught and given talks on TDD, continuous integration, scrum, kanban and various technologies.
And I'd further observe in context that SpaceX has already delivered to the Space Station, in rockets designed to carry humans that simply haven't been certified and trusted by experience yet, as opposed to rockets that are fundamentally incapable of carrying humans for some reason. It's essentially impossible to have any more credibility here without actually having delivered astronauts to the space station, which is nearly the only step remaining.
Partly because this item has two alternate titles, it has been submitted lots of times before (sometimes without many comments) without people noticing the duplicate submissions. One of the earliest submissions (430 days ago)[1] had well over 100 comments. My comment at the time linked to the full paper[2] by the original authors, which was one of many papers I discussed with professors of psychology (most of whom do their research in the framework of behavioral genetics)[3] that school year in the journal club I attend at my alma mater university.

Plainly, basing psychological research on subjects who are mostly undergraduates at United States universities is not a good idea, and there are now increasing efforts to broaden the samples of human beings used to investigate general human characteristics. Cross-cultural validation was considered very important in studies of personality psychology even before this paper was published,[4] for example.

Anyway, this perspective comes easily for me, as an American who has lived in a non-Western country for six years of my life (with knowledge of the language, the classical literature, and the traditional culture). Definitely the United States is not the center of the Universe. The study authors referred to people from Western cultures, who were Educated, and who live in Industrialized, Rich, Democracies as "WEIRD" people, and of course that acronym marks out a minority of the world population. I am part of that minority, but I have seen how non-Western, (then) less educated people lived as their country made a transition from being agricultural, poor, and dictatorial to being industrialized, rich, and democratic, and along the way the local culture changed as local conditions changed.

I have to believe this already exists somewhere.
