To the point - if you are in real trouble of losing the roof over your head, contact your friends/family immediately to organise either a short term loan to cover costs for a little while or to stay with them for a short while. Remove that concern from the table.

Once you have that sorted, your interview approach will probably relax a bit, as I am guessing it might be coming across to potential recruiters/employers as "help - need job now!" - whilst in a perverse kind of way, most employers seem to give preference to those that don't even need the job but are tempted to change. Make sure you play it cool, calm, professional.

Next, don't provide any obvious reasons for your resume/application to be quicksorted to /dev/null. Remove any photos, non-related qualifications, make sure all the dates line up, account for any gaps (i.e. training and consulting for example), double and treble check spelling and grammar, and unlike my post here - keep it short and to the point! :-)

Ask a trusted friend/colleague to interview you. Ask them to be hard, but fair. Ask them to interview you with an eye on your personal communication skills, and on your technical abilities. Ask them for honest feedback. Do not get down hearted if you hear some constructive comments. Make sure it is constructive, not destructive though! Make points to work on your interview and technical skills, then redo the interview again a few days later to see how it improves.

Finally, good luck. Remember - you are selling yourself on how you can solve the business problems and add value. The technical skills are just tools you leverage to achieve that. You are more than a bag of skills, and you need to get that message across.
They already have immunity for users' infringements via the Safe Harbor provisions of DMCA. The safe harbor provisions requirements are a lot less stringent then Common Carrier.

They must register as an ISP, can't modify data, and can't directly profit from infringement or promote it. Certain ISPs already have done things that should get them deregistered though, such as compressing images, replacing ads or injecting content. For example, comcast injects their copyright warnings into html pages transfered.
The industry doesn't really make that much money. Estimates for this past year were in the $1-2 billion range. That's not big for the finance sector, or any industry. That being said, it doesn't take that many people to run a shop, so individuals may be paid a lot.
The low readability/contrast in some places seems to be the main problem.
Sad to see the old Finder logo go – the central curve ending outside the "box" was a nice touch.

The new dock reminded me of the old Powerbook G4 I had, with 10.2 installed. I still somewhat miss the whole "Aqua" interface sometimes – but maybe that's just nostalgia or I over the years it's become harder to surprise me with UI design.
So, right now I have to install the extension in order to use it, correct?

Is there a plan to create an embedded widget that I can use to share content without the full functionality of the extension?

I can see immediate applications as regards Pinterest, by the way. I just tested it out, and if you share a pin using Pinterest's system you get in your email a red button that you need to click to see whatever was shared.

Using your system, I can share whatever the hell I want and don't have to redirect people to Pinterest in order to see it. Plus, I can have a private email conversation with people about what I sent them without being redirected. Nice. There are a lot of content partner applications as well; I think you guys are on to something with this.
No. You serve the static assets from a CDN, but the authentication and dynamic content generation need to scale very quickly when you have an in rush of traffic. This is the perfect use case for Amazon AWS (GovCloud, specifically).

EDIT: Disclaimer: I did not work on Healthcare.gov, but did study up on the entire architecture while trying for a gig on the recovery team.

The government has their own amazon cloud, but to the point I think it actually would be better to use a virtualized setup because then you can scale power as needed and not have to worry too much about bringing servers online. Then when the inevitable slow period comes you can scale down significantly. This is my experience at least.

Resume:

* Starting with "Greetings" makes me think of the nerd from The Simpsons.

* "KICKASS" really?

* Terrible attention to detail: Geocities not capitalized, no space between popular and the open parenthesis, "I've Spent" capitalization, random use of present tense in job descriptions, the first entry under My Services is blank, etc.

* Irrelevant information. Massage therapy?

Strip all that down and write in a dry, active voice. I want to know what you're good at immediately. I don't want to wade through a wall of conversational text.

Why is there a photo at all? If you're going to have a photo, make it look good. If you're going to put on a collared shirt and tie, it should fit close to your neck rather than having a fist-width of space in there.

Nice. I didn't quite understand though:

> Specifically, the futex syscall can leave a queued kernel waiter hanging
on the stack. By manipulating the stack with further syscalls, the waiter
structure can be altered.

Is the bug that the waiter is left on the stack, or that other syscalls can alter the stack?

Allowing syscalls to alter the stack seems like a vulnerability regardless of what happens to be on the stack when it's altered.
Depends on who is acquiring you. I was told a online retailer had a significant bias towards java startups because they could intergrate it easier.
The "Applications" icon still looks like it was designed by a 8 year-old. There are some thing all the billions in the world can't fix I guess.

PS: This comment doesn't bring anything of value to the conversation but negativity and I am sorry for that, but it's been nagging at me for years.
silverstorm didn't say anything about symmetrical. If Comcast assumes that the various interconnect points are relatively even in traffic usage, but then the few that go to Netflix start getting congested (leaving the rest relatively light), they're going to have to upgrade just a few spots with really expensive equipment just to deal with Netflix traffic.

Edit: not sure why I'm getting downvotes since silverstorm clarified exactly what I wrote

I am not talking about imbalance in U/D, but rather imbalance in destination (or source). If tremendous amounts of traffic is going to or from just a small handful of nodes, you need tremendous routers & pipes going to those nodes.
Haha I just had to post this. When I went to read about core dumps in iOS:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7353024/when-an-app-crash...

I got a StackOverflow core dump, of sorts, similar to this:

http://img215.imageshack.us/img215/2886/picturezb.png

Currently I am using an uncaught exception handler based on this:

http://www.cocoawithlove.com/2010/05/handling-unhandled-exce...

But unfortunately it doesn't give very descriptive stack traces, even with debugger symbols turned on in the project settings. I'm really looking for something that shows me a full view of the program's state just like if I was in the debugger. It may be possible to extrapolate from the core dump, but I’m having a hard time figuring it out. This post summarizes how to do it with gdb:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5115613/core-dump-file-an...

But I’m thinking a huge opportunity has been lost here. This should be built into IDEs and especially for mobile apps, there should be a standard way of sending core dumps back to the developer when apps crash, especially for ad hoc builds during testing.

I myself have had both credit and debit card info stolen several times over the past few years. It might be happening to me twice a year now.

One card (debit) I remember distinctly because I only had it for a few months, had only used it a few times, and only in two physical locations. I had recently been to a gas pump that had seen better days, so I chalked it up to that. I went and informed the owner, and after he understood that I wasn't trying to accuse him of anything he became fairly interested.

Recently I had fraud charges on a credit card that I stopped using 6 months prior.

I know it's happened to me at least four times now. Only once did the credit card company alert me - the rest I found on my own.

Does anyone else find this happening to them a lot or is it just me?
Here's a smattering of example apps built off this kind of data (e.g., data in Socrata-powered open data portals like this one): http://www.socrata.com/civic-apps/

(Disclosure?: I'm friendly with the Socrata folks)
The main argument in this article seems to be to define the term "full-stack developer" as someone who is equally good at all the different bits of the stack (or someone who is master in all of it). Then the conclusion is made that people who call themselves full-stack developers are not really full-stack developers, as they don't fit the definition.

However, most people disagree with that definition, and in fact use a definition that fits their own skills.
I hate Helvetica Neue as a desktop font. I'm on an (non-retina screen) iMac and it just looks too thin at times, blurry.

Also, Id suggest waiting a couple days/weeks if you're a Chrome user. Just keeps crashing, every build, even Canary.
> No reason you can't implement schemas over JSON. In fact, you typically implicitly do

Right, that's the point -- since in normal use you impose a set of "schema" requirements over all data interchange formats, even schemaless ones, it's a strictly good thing to have that schema explicitly written out. It means the compiler can verify your types are correct and the runtime can verify your messages have all the fields they'll need.

> JSON is unversioned, so you can add and remove fields as you wish.

Sure, but if you do, you have to handle the version-management code at the application level, manually, where it's really easy to make mistakes.

> And for languages where type safety is in place, the JSON libraries frequently allow you to pre-define the data structure which the JSON will attempt to parse into, giving type safety & a well define schema for very little additional overhead as well.

Sure, and if you're going to do that, you might as well use protobufs which is going to be much faster/more lightweight.
Amazing Magnetic Levitation Device!
Good idea. If you're interested in this type of thing, check out 18F, which is a brand-new engineering office run from within the government in San Francisco and DC: https://18f.gsa.gov/
So... are we going to get any of our taxpayer money back from the people who fucked up the first time?

On another note I am really delighted to see that the government was forced to step out of their bubble to make this happen.
Isn't the central bank the lender in this case?

It sounds like the idea here is the ECB will loan money to banks at negative interest as long as those funds are loaned out to certain types of borrowers.
What, in 2010, a full stack developer didn't need to understand UX? Did the provisioning layer somehow magically vanish in 2010?

Its a bunch of false comparisons.

The simple facts are this:

1) Full Stack Developer == Generalist [ Do lots of things; not 100% as fast or effectively as a specialist]

2) Specialty Developer == One area of profession-level competence [e.g. Front End Developers would need to go and start learning all the other areas/categories from essentially scratch since they haven't touched them at a profession level in years]

I'm not sure why people need to come up with a bunch of silly comparisons that are more complex than this and call generalists a "myth".
Leaving $10-$15K on the table is significant. Start-up equity are lottery tickets, with more losers than winners.

Fair point. The issue obviously isn't 100% black and white. But what the ISPs are currently doing is not the way to go about it, IMO.
This is a highly politicized topic. Recording/streaming the event makes it very easy to take an out-of-context soundbite and turn it into a media story that actively hurts their ongoing efforts to improve the marketplace. They may want to keep the TV cameras out for the same reason they're not present in just about any kind of political discussion/negotiation; by the time anyone in government is speaking to media, the private discussions that crafted their story have already taken place. You really can't be candid when there are influential people looking to pick apart everything you say.
"last mile" doesn't have to do with which direction the bits are flowing (although there may be a loose correlation). It has to do with the fact that the customer is on the outside edge of the network. A connection from Verizon to Cogent isn't considered last mile because there are other networks on the other side of Cogent. Since you aren't providing a connection from your ISP to some other network, you are the last mile.
We at Spotify use them extensively and are actually moving away from Protobufs, which we consider as 'legacy'. The advantages of Protobufs don't make up for its disadvantages over plain JSON.
With JSON you have universal support, simple parsing, developer and debug friendly, much easier to mock, etc etc.
Your scenario 2 doesn't happen in practice.

The reason is precisely because HFT market makers are fast and sophisticated enough that they want to trade with all small block buyers, so they are resting orders at every trade-able price on every exchange they can.

The speed arbitrage comes from the fact that if they see a level being removed at one exchange it is a demand signal, so they change their own prices on the other exchanges. This is faster and cheaper than going out and sweeping another level (which requires paying the spread).

Essentially, there is no liquidity difference in this case, as all the same liquidity providers are there. They are just pricing their liquidity more accurately.
Those underlying issues are exactly what the code of conduct was designed to prevent.
What's weird with the alignment of the traffic light buttons?
Is this a OnePiece reference, or do I just really want it to be?
I think the high salaries are attracting a lot of the code school grads who lack a lot of the fundamentals of CS. Anecdotally, I see these grads take 25-30% pay cuts for a developer position and employers are happy to take the discount in exchange for "on-the-job" training.
In general though, finance firms (at least the publicly traded ones where we can see their books) reserve a higher proportion of revenue for compensation compared to tech firms. Not entirely sure at HFT shops, but I think that may be what the grandparent comment may be referring to (and I agree that we could do better if our goal were to be more equitable -- but no one has an incentive to do this on a grand scale yet)
Any reason you replace, rather than insert alongside?

I like the sporadic messages, but placing them roughly a minute of reading apart as [posture] reminders would make me more likely to use it ;p

But net neutrality comes into play because these big last mile providers are also offering their customers video services. That's what cable companies started out doing, after all, and Verizon and to a lessor (much lessor, I gather) extent AT&T have implemented the same business model with their FiOS and U-verse offerings.

People getting their video from Netflix threatens this business, and it's pretty obvious to me that's one of the reasons we're seeing all this now, especially with Netflix getting big enough in streaming to a) pose a greater threat b) potentially have a lot of voters on their side (particularly relevant because the last mile providers are all government enabled monopolies, cable companies at the municipality level, telcos at the state and Federal level).

How many servers are we talking here, anyway? Like 1 rack's worth or what?
A possible solution to this is private mail servers that encrypt and decrypt automatically for you.

The idea that you go to the store, pick up a small box, and it will do all the security for you is the stated goal of freedom box (https://freedomboxfoundation.org/). Once transparent end-to-end encryption that avg joe can use get traction, mail encryption will hopefully become default.

Hey, this looks good. We created a similar site (wecombinate) to allow artists and writers to combine their stories and art but ended up taking it down after a year or so, just couldn't get the traction. There are probably a lot of lessons we learned which could help you with this. Feel free to PM me if you'd like to chat.
"I'd be curious to see how atheism fits in"

In the UK, we have a census every 10 years that tries to collect detailed information about the population. The last census was in 2011 and contained an optional question: what is your religion? The number who said they had no religion was 14.1 million which equals 25% of the population of England and Wales. This is a rise from the 2001 census where 15% of the population (of England and Wales) said they had no religion.

There was a decline in the number of people who called themselves Christian and a rise in all other minority religions.

Here's a very informative short video (4 mins) from the Office of National Statistics in the UK examining religion in England and Wales from the 2011 census.

What does "full-stack" mean in 2014? What it's always meant.

A full-stack developer is a developer who sees something that needs to get done and does it, even if they currently don't "know how".

And these people do exist, and are every bit as valuable as you'd expect.
Not to start a political flame war, but...

How do you, as technologically savvy people who are in a better position than most to understand the grave transgressions of the NSA, reconcile your support of an administration that has shown complete disregard for our privacy and civil liberties (specifically within the scope of the NSA/Snowden scandal) with your inherent duty, as an engineer of powerful systems, to above all further the public good? As a subtext, what are your thoughts on continuing to further said administration's political aims in one arena while they restrict your rights and livelihood* in another?

Furthermore, and more on topic, what steps have you taken to place privacy concerns at the forefront when creating a service that consumes vast amounts of personal and medical information from millions of people?

Last, as someone who has been "on the inside" do you see corruption as a large problem with government procurement? To what extent did corruption create the situation that you were called in to fix with the original HealthCare.gov fiasco?

*assuming, of course, that the NSA/Snowden revelations have hurt US tech interests

Yep, right now the extension is required. We're talking about future plans for people who like some of our features, but not everything — we want to be as unobtrusive as possible.

Our primary goal is to enable people to keep and collaborate content easier than before. In addition to discussions, we have a full-text search engine that incorporates into Google results, showing links you've kept if they're relevant to your search. From that standpoint, we're a "much better bookmarking platform". Over time, we'll be helping people discover interesting content, too.

This email-a-page feature is actually just our newest, and isn't the core of the product. However, it looks like many people really like this, stand alone. I'll bring this up with product, and see if we can come to something that will meet your needs. In a perfect world, would you like a more minimalistic extension that JUST did this, a bookmarklet, or something else? We want to be the easiest way to share and collaborate about content with others.
