What Namecheap do is better - two-factor authentication. usernames are not meant to be secret, and forcing users to look up a username as well as a password is going to be annoying.

Off-topic, I switched to Namecheap (from GoDaddy) a couple of years ago, and have been impressed. Things like two-factor auth and being aware of and publicising this attack are all signs of a good corporate citizen doing things right.

Who knew there's a vibrant ubran culture devoted to riding wheelies on motorcycles down major avenues, with crowds gathered on the sidewalk and all waiting for the police chase to begin? I recommend the movie reviewed below. Still not sure what it says about poverty and race in the US.

No, you're not. The next logical question would be: "So why don't you get a different OS?" There are dozens of FOSS OS's that will work just fine on your machine.

Apple is well-known for its rapid cycles of planned obsolescence, and technical users have no excuse for not knowing this. Either you keep buying their products on their schedule, or you say goodbye to their ecosystem. If you do neither, you have nobody to blame but Apple and yourself.

Why should Reddit keep supporting a Firefox version that was EOL'ed over three years ago and is known to be grossly insecure, just because Apple and you disagree about which Apple devices Apple's OS should support? That's a problem between Apple, Mozilla, you, and nobody else.
I've been doing web application development since the mid-90's... If you think browser discrimination is new, so are you. NN4 and IE4 were so different from each other it wasn't funny. And by the time IE6 was released it was a godsend. Four years later, it was crap... by the time MS finally picked up development there was far better.

Just the same, pushing to abandon anything before IE9 is a hard sell... but when your mobile users are crossing 40% of traffic, it's an easier thing to do. Mobile devices take more time than some older browsers... just the same, developing for them is easier.

It's probably better described as the end of "small Twitter"--the time when everyone on Twitter wanted to be there. Today many people on Twitter just ended up there because that's where the celebrities are. They have no sense of community or allegiance to a "culture" of the service.

Every single popular technology goes through this phase. For example, people used to dress up to fly on airplanes. Look around the next airport you're in and think of that.

On the Internet, Usenet's "September that never ended" was the most famous of many such transitions.

The question for us, as technologists, is what are we doing about this?

2FA is nice, but not the end all, be all. OAuth has largely failed to gain any reasonable traction. Using Facebook login means Facebook gets to track me as I move around the web.

Our users reuse passwords, primarily due to the proliferation of dozens or often hundreds of online accounts that a single individual has. We can't expect people to use password managers (they're complicated and then centralize everything into a single point of failure). Forcing people to use crazy passwords just results in weaker passwords.

I was hopeful that something like persona from Mozilla would catch on, but that has failed. Where are we with replacing the password? It is flawed technology.

On top of this we have the compounding factor that our systems are more complicated than ever and it appears that they're simply impossible to secure. Too many layers exist with too much code. Many sites just don't both with even hashing password, meaning those of us that care, are just kind of throwing our hands up and saying "well it wasn't my site that was compromised, so it isn't my fault". All the while, bad guys walk in the front door because we've decided to ignore the reality of the situation.

I know I'm not providing a constructive alternative here, but I'm a bit ashamed that we've even let it get this far. We're failing those that rely on our systems. I don't have the answer, but would love to hear some ideas about what can be done.
Director of Engineering- NYC

Defy Ventures, a "Y-combinator meets Khan Academy" for people with criminal histories, is hiring a Director of engineering/Senior Software Developer to join us on our mission to transform the lives (and hustle) of millions of Americans with criminal histories.

====================

=====Who You Are====

====================

The ideal candidate is an experienced, product-focused, full-stack developer who wants to use their skills to take our already proven solution and bring it to scale.

A major part of Defy's scalable solution will be its web application, where students interact with mentors, peers, our curriculum, scheduler, projects and APIs.

====================

=====Who We Are====

====================

We’re a small but rapidly growing team of product designers, entrepreneurs, teachers and business executives who believe everyone deserves a second chance.

We move fast, take risks, and never settle for “good enough." We recognize that truly great products are built, refined and perfected over time. We come to work every day excited about building something that matters more than we do.

While Defy is is a 501(c)(3), we're dedicated to doing whatever's necessary to building a world-class team. We’re passionate about using our craft to redeem lives and restore communities and realize there are few other world-changing endeavors that can match the scalability and impact of what we're building at Defy. After all, “How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives.

====================

=====Our Mission====

====================

At Defy, our mission is simple: we believe that men and women with criminal histories:

- Represent America’s most overlooked talent pool
- Are some of the scrappiest and most accomplished entrepreneurs and salesmen
- Share skills and talents with top business leaders

Defy's program breaks generational legacies of violence, poverty and incarceration by equipping the millions of men and women with criminal histories with tools and communities they need to unlock their potential and "transform their hustle" by creating profitable, legal business ventures.

This study adds nothing new to the debate:

> “To my knowledge, this is one of the first long-term trials that’s given these diets without calorie restrictions,” said Dariush Mozaffarian, the dean of the Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy at Tufts University, who was not involved in the new study. “It shows that in a free-living setting, cutting your carbs helps you lose weight without focusing on calories. And that’s really important because someone can change what they eat more easily than trying to cut down on their calories.”

It doesn't actually control for calories so basically the study shows us that a diet that's low in carbs can help people eat fewer calories while still feeling full. That's important, but nothing we don't already know.

The health benefits are completely confounded by the lack of caloric control and control for weight loss: losing weight simply makes people less disease prone no matter the contents of the diet.
they work really well on people who believe they work. they don't work at all on people who dismiss them.

funny, that.
In my experience, the change in business circumstances is precisely what creates the spaghetti code in the first place. It's far easier to write a beautiful extensible system if you have solid unchanging requirements - when the reqs change in foreseen ways that extensibility looks like great foresight. When the reqs change unpredictably, often all that work on extensibility is wasted or even detrimental because the changes required are deeper or different to what the original system made possible.

I think some of the art of software engineering is in the softer skill or predicting how requirements are likely to change in the future, and building in extensibility only where its likely to be needed (or is easy to get for free/cheap, which sometimes happens too.) It's like YAGNI vs pragmatism.
Am I right in my understanding that the end of the last code snippet shows that the app will error out for the user every time any single one of the many APIs used is unavailable, rather than making an average of the remaining services (1 of them)?

Isn't this approach making the service's downtime be the sum of the downtime (minus overlap) from all the APIs being called?
To bad it's environmentally unsustainable. There's no way our ecosystem can survive all of us eating eggs, tuna, and chicken all day. We need to consume less animal products not more. Low carb is fine for a few wealthy people who want to lose weight but it's not a responsible solution to the public health problem.

What about a low-junk food diet? No cqlorie restrictions but no refined carbs? I don't think we need ti discourage people from eating whole grains and beans.

The private prison complex (the "well-to-do") benefit from jailing the poor who don't work. That's how the ward on drugs allows the well-to-do to benefit from the poor. The poor can still be exploited even if they don't work, as you can see.
Light Table is an IDE that attempted to simplify programming by improving the tooling on top of existing languages. Unfortunately, too many of the problems we are trying to fix are baked in at the language level and there is only so much an editor can do. Eve is our attempt at rethinking how languages should work.

The UI we are currently working on is very spreadsheet-like. We show tables as grids. Rules are built by dragging columns of data into a working space. We deliberately don't support adhoc layout in the program itself but we will probably add some kind of presentation tool that links various tables into a nicely laid out report.

One thing I find the pro keto movement frequently forgets is, regardless of the efficacy of the diet, there are a lot of people who simply don't tolerate that much fat very well.
Low carb doesn't necessarily mean more animal products. It can mean that you replace the carbs with nuts and veggies, so that you are getting more of your calories from protein and healthy fats.
For anyone who has access to the paper (http://annals.org/article.aspx?articleid=1900694) and is skilled in reading medical research papers, I would love to know if they account for snacking. When I briefly tried a low-carb diet (just out of curiosity, not to lose weight as I'm already quite healthy) I found that I was unable to snack because almost all snack foods are loaded with carbs. I can only eat so much beef jerky before I get sick of it, and couldn't find any snack food that fit the diet that was also appealing.

On my normal omnivorous diet I snack when I feel hungry, usually opting for trail mix, toast (from bread I bake), or a piece of fruit (sometimes chips, but not often). Since none of my available snacks were acceptable on the diet I just opted for drinking coffee and a big glass of water when I felt a little hungry between meals. As a result, I ended up losing a few pounds over a few weeks.

I'm curious if the same thing happened with the participants on the low carb diet. Did they lose weight and become healthier because none of their snacks fit the diet, so they ended up not snacking?
This subject freaks people out, vegetarians especially.

A huge part of identity for some people is based on the knowledge that they're living on a healthy plant-based diet. It turns out that said diet is less healthy than subsisting on bacon grease.

This causes cognitive dissonance. Cognitive dissonance causes knee-jerk downvotes.

Citations? How about the study spelled out in the article?

It's not too old, but I'm not sure why you would want to.
It'd be nice to have this squared with research in vegetarianism (high-carb, low-fat) which long term studies indicate has a number of health benefits [1]

My own take, which I've mentioned before, is that the the starting point is so bad (refined carbohydrates) that you can pretty much walk in any direction and get positive results. That is, what people are eating doesn't matter nearly as much as what people aren't. Or, more specifically, any diet will make people pay attention to what they're eating, and that's the real win.

I have been on a low carb diet for over a year now, and I have a handful of nuts. Almonds, cashews, whatever.

They have an acceptable amount of carbs in them and make you feel full enough to make it to the next meal.

The biggest issue is the expense, I spend about $20-30 a fortnight on nuts alone.
I think my options will be constrained to web dev shops or start ups. I worked at a start-up private equity shop and got a ton of exposure to all of the business. I think it is a great place to work because you do a little of everything and therefore you learn a lot really quickly.

edit: conversely, where would you start out?
That's commonly cited as fact, but the truth is we don't know that they required large flocks to survive (deforestation is another possibility). Charles Mann points out in his book 1491 that e.g. DeSoto didn't report large groups, and hypothesizes that the enormous flocks of the 1800s are an aberration due to wide-scale crop production.
This has to be a joke right?

i've been on a ketogenic diet for about 3 months now. i've lost around 20 pounds (5'10, 220 starting -> 200 current -> 180 goal) and will probably lose another 20 before reaching my 'ideal' weight. it works. whether it works because i naturally eat less, or because there's something magical going on w/ my hormones, it doesn't matter because i can simply remove carbs and eat until i'm full every single time. eating well is a huge, huge motivating factor for me to succeed in life.

for other people it's not an issue at all. they can simply just eat 1500 calories a day with a bunch of carbs and also lose weight. I CAN'T. i need to ingest 2500-3000 calories a day or else i will just be constantly hungry and unable to function without thinking about food. i'm in my 30s now - i know this about myself. i've counted the calories for months on end, using MFP.

the hardest part is not talking about it, because if you tell people you 'eat more fat' when they ask you what your new diet is, they'll think you're being sarcastic and rude.

i've only told my closest friends, people who i respect intellectually and who can handle an actual discussion about how things like the endocrine system works and

The Must Have Social Media Management Tool for Any Business

>You don't know that Dropbox does.

They've certainly given me no reason to think they don't, and enough circumstantial evidence to believe they probably do. We know for a fact they are targeted by the NSA, because they were specifically mentioned in the PRISM documents as the probable next target for cooperation with that program. So they're on the NSA's radar, and everyone knows it, and they know everyone knows it. In spite of this, a few months later, they bring onto their board Condoleezza Rice, a woman who, while she was in the Bush administration, went to bat for their warrantless wiretapping program a dozen times. She hasn't recanted - she's still a huge fan.

This is pretty much the exact opposite of what you would do to address privacy concerns with your company.

And in the whole time, they've addressed none of this. They spam HN with their stupid blog posts, and when somebody brings up the privacy issues, the poster gets downvoted, and Dropbox goes silent until their next blog post about whatever wonderful technology they've developed to make it easier for the US government to snoop on your data. At the very least, they clearly aren't very concerned about their image with respect to customer privacy, and they don't care if you know it.

It's not like providing a service like Dropbox and providing provable security isn't a solved problem. And they don't do it. Yet they are the biggest player in this market. My, a clean site design and engineering blog really do go a long way.

Anyway, this isn't a court of law. I'm not a judge or a jury and I'm not in a position to put anyone in jail. Requiring that level of proof to decide not to do business with someone, or whether to associate with them professionally, is not reasonable. They have not been forthright about privacy issues over the past year, they have acted in a way that shows they don't regard the legitimate privacy concerns of their users at all, and they have put someone on their board who stands in direct opposition to all that, anyway. That's more than enough.

There was a lot of big talk last year around here about how people who work at the NSA ought to be ashamed, about how "the community" needs to ostracize these people. Soul searching about what kind of person you would have to be to create those kinds of systems, what delusions you would have to buy into, etc etc. Yet that's exactly what has happened at Dropbox - exactly those kinds of people are working there right now - and every week they post some bullshit from their blog and every week this board lines up to congratulate them. You're all a bunch of hypocrites.
I don't mean pity me I'm old. I mean for a first job is it going to be difficult to get hired at 25 with a pretty entry level skillset. I would prefer to work at a start up but I am going to be applying to jobs in 3 months. I want to source out some targets and am trying to ascertain where I will likely be able to get the most traction.
The opposite effect is, IMO, how things like node.js gain in popularity - the environment "feels fast" and "feels simple" [for the simple use cases that are always at the start of things].
Let's say for the sake of argument that Basic Income results in 70% of the population sniffing petrol and drinking booze. Who are you to tell them they are doing anything wrong? If they're not harming anyone, they have the right to make their choices and harm themselves if they want to. Why do you care? At least you are free (as they are) to do as you want.

It all comes down to people thinking they know what is best for other people. You can't force other people to contribute to your idea of society. If you want something big, find a group of people that believe the same and do it. Don't force others into your idea of how life should be.

I understand that this might go against the grain for the site I'm posting this on, but startup culture is all about founders abusing their employees and getting wealthy off their hard work. There are startups that aren't like that, but you have to know the warning signs of what to watch out for to avoid it. Given that understanding, I don't see why you'd want to throw yourself into the blender.
