Yup, same engines. The escape system is an integral part of the vehicle (rather than a bolt on system as with tractor abort) and is regularly used and tested. And because the escape system is always there it means they can abort at any point during launch all the way up to orbit, which is fairly unprecedented. I believe they can generate 8 gees of thrust with the escape system which would allow them to escape even if the rocket doesn't get shut down during an abort.
I don't mean all results that may or may not even have the search terms (which is what Google "helpfully" tries to do), but all results that actually have the given search terms. Hopefully this will mean users learn to use more specific search queries to get what they want, and thus ask more specific questions --- not a bad thing at all for the Internet and society in general either.

The biggest advantage of a random ranking IMHO is that it completely eliminates any incentive to game the ranking system, and gives the "indie" portion of the Web a fairer chance at getting visitors. Let the users decide themselves individually what's relevant to them, and not Uncle Google.

I live in SV and my son competes in math and robotics competitions. I have never seen an African American at a competition. Robotics has more caucasians. Still below 50% but Bay Area skews Asian so hard to tell.

Elementary School Math competitions are almost completely SE Asian and South Asian. Maybe 2% Caucasian. Girls/boys are about 50/50 across Asians. Fewer Caucasian girls than boys but small sample size.

Just random observations.
That's not exactly how dropbox for android works [0].

It doesn't sync a folder on your phone that you can modify, it syncs the metadata and downloads files when you specifically ask for them. Local storage is used as a cache, you can't just add files and expect them to be uploaded without uploading them from within the app.

I really want OWASP to be high quality and up-to-date because I feel like there are too many commercial efforts out there; it takes away from the old school hacker community spirit to see all these books on Amazon, hack this, and hack that. OWASP folks are really great people, and I feel like there could be more urgency and edge to what they do.
My assessment, and chromatic's too I think

Again, please leave me out of your uninformed and biased speculations. You weren't there. You weren't involved. I was--not only as a developer on both projects but as the P6 project secretary. In that capacity, I took and published hundreds of pages of notes, and I'm more than capable of speaking for myself.
If there is really a stronger success rate it is more than likely a bias than a gender based attribute.

It's not like declaring it a utility would mean, like in the days of AT&T, that Comcast would be required to put up pay internet terminals in the middle of the woods, no matter the cost, or lock in to a particular pricing structure.
Nonsense. ecryptfs has been around almost that long even. And regardless, the maintenance for proprietary FDE products is not much better. Many go in and out of cycle, obsolescence is just a part of software, but there's been 1 or more good encryption options available for a long time.

It depends on the question asked... if you ask people whether he did the right thing by exposing the surveillance, 55% yes.

if you ask them if he should stand trial, they also agree with that. tweaking the poll question can make a significant difference.
I believe it's only illegal to say, "only girls need apply". But, there are even exceptions to that. For example, if you're hiring an TSA agent who's job it is to pat down females, the person you hire would need to be a female as it's a requirement of the job.
Who says they aren't going to fork and continue development?

It's just a landing page that a couple of guys put up while they try to figure out what direction to take. Since there's an audit going on right now, when it's done they'll probably start fixing the problems and releasing new versions. Have a bit of patience.
Since it appears to be completely non-obvious what is going on here, this is an in-development update of the current development guide (https://www.owasp.org/index.php/Category:OWASP_Guide_Project). More info in that link.

Desi is bit of a strange term for some. As a person of Sri Lankan origin, I don't know any other Sri Lankans who refer to themselves as desi. I didn't hear the term myself until college. I don't know why we need a new term when "South Asian" is perfectly adequate.
If this is what they want I am glad they can move on. I just feel like if there was ever a time to be interested in the project it would be now. Obviously, privacy has always been relevant, but given the microscopic lens everyone is under the problem seems relevant, challenging and exciting. The exact opposite time to walk away.
well the fact that they are asking for a copy of the original site isn't a good start.

The original dev's made it clear they don't want people to continue with the TrueCrypt name. If they were really interested in continuing the project for the sake of security they would have chosen a different name.

For example, it's virtually guaranteed that some website's rankings went up today, and they happened to start using AdWords today. Likewise, it's virtually guaranteed that some website's rankings dropped today, and they happened to start using AdWords today

One thing is for sure though Matt, Adword clicks will almost certainly grow by 20% this quarter and have been growing at least that much since Panda, every quarter. Ad placements plays a role too but surely removing the "free traffic" via penalties and pandas provides them an incentive to pay for traffic. Google has soul their credibility for ad clicks. Another sure thing is that junk from Youtube, Google+, Google Local and other Google properties will be drowning the best pages. So you see why Google has no credibility.

Why do you think that? Compare it to the type of customers you attract at different stage of building a product: your first customers are always the most passionate, most valuable customers. As you broaden the customer base, you attract people that are way less into your product. Female founders are still a very small group, only the most passionate, most courageous, most talented ones are currently considering becoming entrepreneurs. Once being a female founder is the new normal, pitch to funding rates between males and females will be much closer again. Having said all that, this is just a theory based on anecdotal experience.
Jeepers, our legislators really suck. You think utility regulation is too onerous, reform that. But trying to pre-empt the regulatory process (which involves exhaustive solicitation and categorization of public comment, unlike the legislative branch) is just pouring sand in the works.

I'm a man, but I am very much a clothes horse, so I feel like I am part of the demographic you want to reach.

Here is a roughly sorted wishlist for a shopping app:
- Track prices on arbitrary sites with something akin to Web Slices where I select the price (this is pretty much a prerequisite for me using it since most items I want are on relatively niche sites)
- Can identify the same item across multiple sites
- Has some crowd-sourced component for sales. (It souldn't be hard to manually monitor the sales thread on styleforum.net and build a system that can incorporate prices changes from coupon codes).
- Can track historical sales trends for sites and tell me whether a sale is coming up
- Can show me similar online/offline stores to ones I already know (unrelated, but having user tastes and connecting that to stores in an area would be interesting for people who travel)
Can't you share updates with less details to avoid feeling like a braggart?

For instance: "We're on pace to double last year's six-digit revenue and holding steady at a 25% gross margin."

Or talk to friends who can be happy to hear you're doing well.
They say it's "actual flight design hardware". Probably not quite ready to chuck at the ISS, but all the pieces are there. The main differences from the already-operational Dragon seem to be:

- improved heat shield (presumably a minor iteration)
- docking hardware (OTS)
- Super-Draco thrusters (recently flight-qualified)
- seats (apparently extant)
- piloting controls (apparently extant, may require additional software)
- life support system (?)
- software for propulsive landing (will require testing, but they can already do it for a 10-story F9)
- software for autonomous docking (unknown, but if Soyuz can do it, so can SpaceX)

Most of the hardware seems to be ready to go; the software may not be, but that can be done a lot faster than hardware, and nothing here is beyond their already-demonstrated abilities.

There is certainly plenty of testing to be done on the novel things like launch abort and propulsive landing (much of which is already scheduled!), as well as on-orbit tryout of a few things. But it looks like it's pretty far along, and I bet we'll see it in space within 12 months.
The programmer recruiting industry is counter productive, adding less than no value to the people who need coders as well as the the programmers who want to work. Less than no value means they are a net drain on society, as worthless as hiring people to dig holes in the ocean.

These recruiter tactics would be acceptable for food service jobs though. There you would need to find a candidate with a high tolerance for complete bullshit.

The entire programming recruiter industry can be replaced by the following:

Throw a party with free drinks and food, of the people who show up, present a coding test on the board and the first 10 people to submit a correct solution gets on the short list.

And if you are so poor and can't do that (HR is vetoing), just do a basic coding test online. Of the people who submit correct answers, short list the best ones.

But perhaps I'm wrong, perhaps social skills are more important in programmers than coding skill.
Personal views totally aside, I absolutely despise people for leaking stuff which is intended to stay private as long as it isn't whistleblowing about actual law breaking.

That whole attitude of the tabloid press and its web spinoffs "press, press and if pressure doesn't help then hack, as long as we get something that MAY look newsworthy" aka "we don't care where the stuff comes from or how it was obtained, as long as we can squeeze page impressions and money out of it" is vile, disgusting and every single person "leaking" this kind of stuff should be thrown in jail, keys put away and the "media" closed down.

You and your fellow "media" friends are undermining the trust in EVERYONE. Go fuck yourself or invest some money to obtain news that matter.
Hahaha all my MSFT friends gave me crap for the unoriginality when I quoted it on FB too. I imagine there must be a boatload of inhouse clippy jokes at Redmond ;)
> Reclassification would heap 80 years of regulatory baggage on broadband providers

Can anyone shed some light on what this baggage might consist of? I've heard rumblings that common carrier status might have unintended consequences, but I haven't actually seen them enumerated.

> imposing monopoly-era telephone rules and obligations on the 21st Century broadband marketplace

Last-mile ISPs are usually local monopolies. I see a lot of handwaving here about regulating "the Internet" rather than specific classes of company.

Would Title II reclassification only involve consumer ISPs, or would it also affect backbone providers like Level 3?

> We support the efforts ... to codify current policy

A great tactic on both sides is to claim that you're fighting for the status quo, which works pretty well. The Net Neutrality argument is "let's fight to keep ISPs from selectively deprioritizing traffic because that would break the Internet." The other side's argument is "let's fight to keep government from interfering because that would break the Internet".

From Beck's talk[1] they are not reviewing the cryptography code, merely cleaning up the programming. They admit they don't yet have cryptography experts reviewing if the algorithms/implementations are doing what they are supposed to be doing and that they are in fact secure.

I'm impressed with the detailed analysis of the inner workings of the various aspects of the complete package. I'm tempted to try to write documentation for software that I'm working on in the same way. A sort of guided tour through the processes at every stage, with links to the actual code sprinkled in. At the very least it might be entertaining for whoever has to maintain it later.
According to Wikipedia, Ballmer joined Microsoft as employee #30 in 1980.

A year later, in 1981, when Microsoft incorporated, Ballmer held 8% of the shares.

That was a pretty neat trick.
As I was informed on another Soylent thread, you need to compare Ensure Complete with Soylent. Ensure Complete is a MRE, Ensure (the standard product line) is not.
It's hard to say what any team is worth based on a transaction, since they're often bought as luxury goods and not as financial investments. Steve Ballmer wanted the team, so he bought it. I don't think he cares whether he can resell it for $2 billion.

The strange thing to me is that when we took action, our notice told Vivint it was for unnatural/spammy links to their site.

Yeah, but the perception of a conspiracy is the price you pay for handwavey/non-specific guidance about what's wrong. If your notices are not specific, then it's hard for people to know definitively whether or not they are in compliance. The flip side of that, of course, is that if you are fully specific then bad actors will exploit that in order to game the system. But that's the price you pay for ubiquity. Taking your power for granted may backfire on you if a regulatory agency or a jury decides you are not as objective as you believe yourselves to be. Intent is less important than how it manifests from the perspective of a disinterested bystander.
You can't blame the interviewer, really.

Do you have any idea how hard it is to sell brown cars these days? If the salesman can sell many of them, he must have something up his sleeves. And, in the end, because of the shortsighted "vision" of whomever happens to be the CEO at the moment, all that matters is how fast and how much you can sell during the current CEO's term so the CEO can reap all the bonus and benefits. Who cares if the end product is crap?
Shakeology and Garden of Life have been making MREs for years now. You've probably not heard of them because they target vegans and are very expensive.
Asking a carpenter about painting a house is akin to asking a programmer about the shrink wrap for the final software package.

It is not a good analogy.

Maybe asking him about what sort of wood he has worked with, the sort of things he has built, what stuff he has done in the past.

And a carpenter's job isn't going to take years with weeks of learning the lay of the land, so you aren't so worried about him walking away.
They still don't want to explain why they took it down so abruptly, which is strange to say the least for a popular 10 year project.

Also, why didn't they make it easy to continue to project with the license, and why do they keep saying that forking Truecrypt is "harmful"?
I would definitely keep your advisory board. Having a group like that is so valuable, especially if you are getting a ton of feedback.

Most people don't expect to hear exact numbers, but from personal experience they (I) do like to hear percentages. Other statistics could be helpful as well. For instance I tell people last year we had 8 employees now we have 12. Great question, thanks!

That sounds like the platform is relatively complex.
I've seen Java/JavaEE/Spring code where it was easy to get started, since the platform was built as simple as possible. I've also seen Big Balls of Mud where a developer needed months to be somewhat productive. So the question shouldn't be: "Is my platform brown?" But rather: "Have you ever worked on a freaking castle with hundreds of secret passages?".

Sometimes complexity is unavoidable. The interviewer may ask a question like: "What are your experiences with complex code/legacy code?" (If the interviewer is able to accept the reality of course)
