Hi Thomas. I used to think this way too. I think this is certainly a fine way to think about things if your goal is to keep encrypted email deployment limited to the 3-4% of email users who are either technical experts with nothing to say and/or people who are sending obviously sensitive documents. It doesn't scale much beyond that.

Moreover, I would argue that a 'translucent' key management infrastructure /can/ be better in all ways than PGP. For example, imagine that Google provided a transparent key distribution service for all its users, but also allowed you to verify key fingerprints manually before sending messages. Congratulations -- for users who care, you've got something that works every bit as well as PGP. Everyone else isn't sending plaintext! Sure an attacker can compromise them, but it requires an expensive MITM attack. They have to be targets a priori, not after the fact. I'm struggling to see how anyone is worse off here, except through the nebulous reasoning that 'making things easy' makes people careless. Making things hard definitely makes people careless -- I've seen this firsthand.

But more to the point, even paranoid users have a lot of options that are better than PGP. Using ZRTP to establish secure channels is a very safe way to do things, assuming your attacker can't really forge voiceprints (and this seems hard, even for the NSA). From that point you can push strong public keys out to a dedicated text/email app. That we don't do this is not so much because it's a bad idea -- it's because so far people haven't tried it.

I've just finished listening to a radio interview where the guest asserted that technology and innovation is solely the domain of young white males focused on social networking problems to make money for the benefit of investors. I am so happy to have seen this on the heels of such a terrible interview.

And I love the thinking that went into this invention. I really appreciate the novel approach although I can't help but wonder how they've dealt with the issue of friction and how that might affect the fish - I imagine that there's a fair amount of heat created over such a long run, even at the relatively low speeds described in the videos.
Thanks. If I were James Bamford, I'd be hopping mad at Wired about the stupidity they perpetrated on my article.

We're working on building a tool that helps you communicate not with just your friends, or those you share an interest with, but rather the community physically around you.

Got and integrated some great feedback from this community before, including adding a new Incognito post option and other social logins.

Appreciate feedback, specifically around whether we should
a) Limit ability to comment/vote on posts that are far away from you, to maintain conversations local
b) Whether a local ("leaderboard" / influence/ meowmeow points) would be interesting here, based on positive contributions
c) Anything that would make this more useful for you and make you want to use the app more
Had a similar idea. But where others give you badges because it means a little bit more if others give you someting.

Great start.
Not speaking for AwesomeTogether, but it's the title of a book:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stay_Hungry_Stay_Foolish

edit: And just to be clear, I don't see where it would be an issue using it in the app, as the title of that book was supposedly inspired by Jobs saying the phrase, who in turn got it from yet another book. Just wondering if the fact that it's a book title is what the issue is.
This article is stupid and correlates drinking with health. It does not in any way go to test the theory that "relaxation" time is critical, combined with socialization.

Alcohol is one of those drugs who's withdrawal CAN KILL YOU ALL ON IT'S OWN! In fact if you are 60 and an alcoholic, you will most likely die if you stop drinking from withdrawal alone.

There are easily substitute drugs which won't be as intense but still establish similar social benefits (weed is one of those). And Weed doesn't kill you from withdrawal.

Going further, let's take the Center for Disease Control's look at things: in 2010, ALCOHOL-impaired driving accounted for 31% of all car-related deaths. 17% of all children's deaths in car accidents are accounted to alcohol-impaired driving. Over half of all child passengers who died were in an alcohol-impaired driving accident. http://www.cdc.gov/motorvehiclesafety/impaired_driving/impai...

Oh yeah, alcohol is good stuff. More of it please.
From this can we estimate what kind of hardware Satoshi was using? Like was it feasible to get that hash rate on 1 desktop computer back then, or would he have been using a large number of computers?
I'm a technology lawyer in Toronto, Canada.

I got my job by starting my own law practice after working at a large tech company + a large law firm. Most lawyers work at firms for several years (or forever) instead of doing their own thing. I did contract programming work for many years before starting my practice so I knew what I was getting into by starting my own business. Without my background in programming I wouldn't have most of my clients. I also get a lot of inbound leads because my website does well on Google (re: former web developer).

My job is awesome because I get to help entrepreneurs start their businesses/keep them running smoothly. I'm independent so I can offer reasonably-priced, fast and flexible service. Another benefit of being independent is that I get to work for businesses that other people might not touch such as Bitcoin-related companies. It's more interesting than being a programmer because I get a higher-level view and work with a wide variety of people. I still keep one foot in the world of programming by building my own services on the side.
I am looking for a tool that improves on double click search's automatic bidding. It looks like AdStage has some automatic bidding rules. But it is not a as robust as double click search, as far as I can tell from the landing page. I would love to try this, but I would have to continue using double click as back up. Which means to me its not ready yet.

When I moved to SF in 2012 I rented a new apartment in SOMA/South Beach (Carmel Rincon). My rent was $3300/mo for ~600sqft w/ no laundry. When I moved out they were increasing the rent past $3400/mo.
The first part of what you said is entirely correct. But a look at the production numbers from WWII provides some elucidation on the second point. We produced 100k aircraft in just one year. Over 60k tanks. Certainly the changing face of warfare alters the math here -- we have many force multipliers to our advantage -- but I think without question in a WWII style, fully mobilized engagement, the US is by no means fully equipped.

I mean, even if we were, how could we be? That's actually a great lesson in The Guns of August: Every general is fighting the last war.
I've had this conversation with a friend from Paris who made the same point.

The stats show that SF rents are as high as places like Paris and NYC, but it may be a comparison between a nice, new studio in SF and an ancient, tiny room that used to house a servant in Paris. It's another layer on top of the stats. (Or we need more stats for a full picture.)

> Adding forward secrecy to asynchronous offline email is a much bigger challenge, but fundamentally it's at least possible to some degree.

Is it really fundamentally possible? The author asserts this without really backing it with anything. I can understand how OTR-like systems can work between a static pair of clients, but it is not entirely clear if it is possible at all to extend such scheme to work in scenarios where message delivery is async and I might be using a set of clients/devices for messaging.
I'm sure they could pull this data from the craig^H^H^H^H^H mysterious data source if they wanted.

For reference, I've lived in 2 1BR apartments which were around the median prices listed here and both were newer buildings, 600-700 sqft with laundry.
It's not doable, because there are major unsolved problems. Protection of a private key, for example.

The only outcome of such a chart would be reams of people utterly vulnerable and thinking that they are not.

If you constrain the environment, e.g. "How to use SSL certificates in Chrome on Mac OS X Lion" then there might be a chance that could fit on one page in an easy to understand format.
We find Google adwords an invaluable way of backing up our TV ad campaigns and we are a fairly small start up.

I think if you're running TV ads, it's a given that you aren't a small advertiser in the sense that 'coliveira probably meant.
At least anecdotally, having moved here from Boston, no question that you're correct. You definitely get more space for your dollar in SF than in Boston. The reason is simple - they simply didn't build things as small in SF. People from the East Coast would probably be willing to live in smaller units for less...if they existed - but they really don't, at least not as part of the traditional housing inventory. (Some fancy new apartment buildings are experimenting with them, but needless to say, they're pricey, and at that price/size combination many would prefer to commute from Oakland.)

Even the concept of "Boston" is much smaller than the concept of "San Francisco". If you walk across Boston from any of its edges for an hour, you'll wind up in another town entirely (Allston? Cambridge? Maybe even Somerville). If you walk from an edge of San Francisco for an hour, you'll be smack in the middle of San Francisco, with a lot more walking to go.
It's nice but I had similar questions as other as to whether it's usable from a web browser. Google Apps integration even just for auth would be key to using it at my company. Apparently I'll have to wait for the 70,000 people ahead of me in the invite process though.
I think if you read it that way you probably didn't click the link to the extensive criticism I've written about iMessage's key distribution. Saying something is better than plaintext is not the same as saying it's good enough to send secret documents.

You forgot the part where Adsense suddenly bans your account, refunds your money to advertisers and gives you no real appeal possible.

In my experience, in San Francisco, there's no premium for new construction. You either get a place or you don't. The 60 year old victorian split into apartments is still $3,200 just like the modern construction 1 bedroom in SOMA.

But one of the especially insidious things about sexism in tech is that it is often followed up with "it's just a joke" or "you're being overly sensitive". For a _lot_ of men in tech, it's just seen as boy's club fun and any discomfort it causes can easily be passed over.

I'd compare it to police corruption: the problem isn't so much the few corrupt cops, but the fact that the rest of the police will cover for them.

I clicked through expecting an app that offered a nostalgic walk down memory lane with screenshots and features of the Windows operating system. I'm not sure why that is the first thing that came to mind, but it did.

While that would have been moderately amusing, the actual application is a much more useful and helpful concept.

Great job on launching something!

In short, that's easy for you to say. You aren't the one risking anything.

I'd also like to think that if the article wasn't anonymous there would be action. I've personally seen enough instances where nothing is done and in fact the abusers are covered for to think that expecting action is borderline naive.
It probably depends on how much money you're spending whether you'll get a dedicated rep who can initiate refunds without you explicitly hunting them down. $300/day is not even a spec of dust floating in a drop in the bucket to them.

A couple years ago when I was working for an advertising company that was spending several tens of thousands of dollars per day, we were offered large (hundreds of thousands of dollars) refunds on several occasions, including some where the screw-up was our own fault.
I would like to ask how these recommendations are reached. Meaning, can you show hard data that backs up the assertions on how people buy, etc.?

I am not trying to snipe you or the site. I appreciate the effort. But in my experience Google recommendations (with Adwords or Adsense or which reports I should see) mean almost nothing and I rely entirely on my own data.

For example, the first article on the first page 'Let Users Explore Before They Commit' cites a research study, which I then have to click through a couple more navigation screens to find. Oh, except the page with the research study throws a 404.

https://developers.google.com/web/http://www.google.com/thin...

Other than that, the content is sparse. To be blunt at this point I (personally) would not come back because it looks like you didn't even test the site and you haven't actually read the paper and then on top of that haven't actually analyzed the aforementioned paper to see if it actually says what you're asserting it does.

I know this sounds harsh, but I'm being as truthful and direct as I can be because Google hardly ever actually has a human soliciting feedback.

Good luck.

This is crazy. I pay $2300 for a large-ish 2 bedroom loft in an expensive place in the Seattle area (Downtown Bellevue). I hope prices here don't get to what they are in SF.

An even more perfect comparison would be between people of precisely the same intellect, background, and work ethic.

At some point, you have to make comparisons with the high-volume and reasonably high-fidelity data that you do have rather than wishing for more perfect data that you'll never have.

The big difference of course is that buildings built before 1979 are rent controlled. Had a friend have his rent go from $1800 to $3200 after his first year.

Really they can both be true. They're just true for different constituencies. The vast majority of users are not targeted by active attacks, nor should they have reason to be. They may be hacked or subpoenaed after the fact.

The whole point of credit is to extend purchasing power that you don't have on hand (cash). Merchants would lose money because people wouldn't be able to use a credit line and instead delay purchasing. Credit also allows for financing large purchases over time and the assumption of default risk.

I'm currently interviewing for a position in SF that will likely be a dream job, but as a midwesterner, the rent situation terrifies me. Salaries certainly seem to be inflated because of this, which is fine, but could anyone offer some insight or precautions about moving to SF at this time?
>There is a project called "MonsterMind", which 100% automates adversarial hacking in retaliation to detected attacks. Very Strangelove-ian, as the article says.

I have peers who have known about that for a solid 6 months who talk about it. It's nothing new. The Gov't has been working on stuff like that, with stuff like that & have those ideas at the core of everything they do for years.
Dart is alive and getting better with each release. I'm coding with Dart for 7 months now. I'm using it in production and don't want to look back. I'm not javascript hater, in fact i like javascript but Dart gives me much more - better app design, better performance, better productivity. The only downside is the libraries available (although growing constantly) - needs more time. We've ported relatively big javascript application (around 50k rows of code) and we're quite happy with the final result (hope never to write big javascript app again).
The cluelessness that... balls187... is exhibiting is the reason why so many men do unprofessional, uncomfortable, and offensive things and then say, "What? That's not offensive. That wasn't sexual harassment."

It seems no matter how loud the chorus of women who complain about this behavior is, some men still feel like they are the ones who get to define what sexual harassment is.

I'm surprised that the Tenderloin has resisted gentrification for so long. Why is that neighborhood so impenetrable?
A terrorist organisation has established a caliphate state in a country the US formerly occupied and control. If they are being coy about it they must love taking pie in the face. It doesn't look like it, that is a fact. The US doesn't have an answer to these guys. There is no upside to us losing influence in a region to a terrorist organisation and then letting them embed themselves as a valid government. How did that play out for us last time?

Also, you have it backwards, ISIS started in Iraq, (the second I) and spread to Syria (second S). They started with the instability in Iraq, saw the instability in Syria, and went for it.

1) support at home has never stopped the US military from engaging before. 2) We didn't have much before, we have way less now. 3) you find new friends when your old friends stop taking your phone call.
Looking at the picture, it seems like they are leaning on the theme and the theater of humanoid robots rather than actually automating most of their operations - I'd guess that human clean the tables and operate the robots by remote control.

Anyway, the thing about automating restaurants is that going out to dinner is generally not about cheapness - if you want a robot cooked meal, you could most likely get it from the supermarket cheaper even if someone created a fully automated restaurant. Fast food may work on pure convenience and here it's possible automation could take over. Still, automating the cooking of food has the problem that either need a robot capable of cooking a wide variety of food or your restaurant won't be able to compete with constantly changing tastes.
The only thing I can say is that the salary makes up for it. The pay rate here is enough to survive, at a minimum. If you're making less than 80K and want to be more than paycheck to paycheck, you may want to think about living in the East Bay instead.
I use AdStage for LinkedIn. It adds another way of looking at the data - still missing some key features for me, like dayparting on LinkedIn. It was nice to be able to serve dark posts before it was allowed on LinkedIn overall, and the ability to exclude geographies is also useful.
You sure that it stores that or does it just store the fact that the flashlight was on in some log somewhere on the device. I could see the usage statistics of pretty much anything being stored in /var/log/<app access log> and then cross referenced with the location information that the phone already stores. The likely just correlated the two... in fact the location information is likely on no mater what and they could have used that anyway.
I have a friend who recently moved to SF. The tip someone gave him was basically to not take anything less than $150K for a salary.
