I think you seriously underestimate Japanese willingness to fight.

Lets say China decides to call US bluff and lands Marines on Senkakus tomorrow. To do that they would need to sink multiple Japanese coast guard vessels and kill a lot of Japanese sailors. What next? Obama says something about how he is unhappy. Japan is now probably incapable of direct landing on Senkaku right now IF it is opposed. It is however more then capable to sweeping Chinese planes out of the sky in the area. In the air war tech and training >> numbers. The other aspect of the war will be naval and Japan operates the best submarine fleet in Asia, given freedom they would inflict horrendous losses on Chinese surface fleet.

Chillingly at the same time PM of Japan knowing that he was betrayed by US would give an order to weaponize Japanese stockpile of weapon grade material and in a matter of weeks? month? Japan will test multiple fusion devices. Now the real game begins.

In reality I do not think that China will play this game now, their leaders are not Putin and Japan is not Ukraine. I think confrontation or war between China and India and/or Japan will happen but not yet. 10-15 years from now?
acpid being only one of the tools usually there to interface with power management, I'm not really up-to-date what Ubuntu uses nowadays. And yes, as with a lot of hardware stuff you're going to end up in the kernel in the end, but without any management/supervision software (never mind drivers), you usually won't get a quiet and cool laptop. Try starting a barebones arch installation on one these days, without acpid, tlp etc.…
I work on Dart at Google. We have used Dart internally for critical applications for over a year now. It's pretty mature at this point, even if there are some specific areas that are still evolving (async/await, reflection, js interop to name a few).

Dart is significantly better than JavaScript (IMO, of course), that's what it was designed for. Mostly it comes down to sane semantics and static analyzability.
These guys have a similar concept. Except they really only seek to estimate materials quantities.

Tech in Boston Podcast: Keith Frankel, Chief Digital Officer at Tablelist
EMV terminal certification must meet certain PCI standards for one thing. Not sure it would apply in this scenario, it does mention canadian cards affected, but I'm not sure if that's because it was on american machines.

Secondly, if EMV was adopted in the USA, the stolen information would become useless because they wouldn't be able to use the data to produce fraudulent cards.
Did anybody reverse engineer the Berg/Little printer protocols? OK, I have found this from 2013, not very detailed though: https://github.com/pipt/little-printer-payload-inspector

It think the printer's form factor is very nice, much much nicer than the other hacked-up solutions I have seen around.

I would pay those £149 for a thermal printer that was so cute and also completely open.

> The point here is that this is nothing more than a simple writing mistake on the part of the FBI.

You say that like it's fact. But you're assuming.

I thought it was noteworthy that I can't recall ever seeing that specific error in the wild. Maybe I just missed it. Maybe it's a lot more common than I imagine. Maybe not. I don't know. Once it was brought to my attention I thought it was noteworthy though.

> Pretending

I'm not pretending anything. I gave an additional explanation I felt might be plausible. I'm sure there are others. I just doubt the plausibility of the one brought forward.

> irrational fear

Tomato tomato. There's no evidence it was a writing mistake, but you're presenting it as fact.

I guess it all boils down to this: Given domestic spying revelations I think you're extremely naive if you think it's irrational to think that the FBI might be telling less than the whole truth.

Your gut reaction puts you in the camp of people who would volunteer information to a LEO. Which I think should raise a lot more alarm bells than me shrugging my shoulders and suggesting I'd need actual evidence before taking the FBI at it's word.

The very idea that you would is blissfully naive IMO. But good luck with that.

And if you have an point to make, a little less ad-hom and snark (aka Reddittude) would be appreciated. My original comment was a few wonderings-out-loud, including posing a couple questions for discussion. Nothing in there intended to be snarky. If you want to discuss further, it would be nice if you could approach the conversation with the same level of basic respect.

Well, I guess mostly by revising work I've done in the past.
Reviewing it and thinking about how it could be improved if I were to apply methods that my coworkers would use.

I know it could be difficult for you, but consider just asking them for advice on the systems you're building/proposing. If you think they're likely to turn down the ideas you have, you may as well pre-empt that and get down to the business of figuring out a compromise. It may not make you look like some rockstar programmer, but at least you'll be learning something as quickly as possible. Also, depending on how down to earth your employers are, appearing humble before your superiors/more experienced colleagues and wanting of knowledge will only cast a good light on you.

I am not a competitive cyclist but remove the hair on my legs with a depilator in the Spring because my leg pelt retains too much heat in the Summer. There is a noticeable improvement in cooling after it is done.

While not the most pleasant process, it avoids stubble and the delayed regrowth means the new hair is sufficiently long to begin providing warmth just in time for when cooler Fall temps arrive. I always considered that to be the real reason why the pros do it with road rash being of secondary concern. Those with shorter leg hair just went along and copied their hairier peers.

At this point in time, they still can't be compared, because btrfs is still not [considered] production-ready, and subject to significant changes (also performance-related).

This is especially important because on use cases where performance differences are significant, that is, not on general desktop usage, the maturity of the FS is funamental, and btrfs is discouraged right now.

Bankrobber?

You're not just asking for a high paid job with low accountability, you're also asking for a place where you don't have to learn (so a stagnant field) without advancement that's an area of the cube that is totally empty as far as I know.

I suggest you get off your ass for the next 10 years, save like mad and then retire from your savings at as low an expense level that you can get away with.
I see your point.
But I love that it's one feature at a time, rather than being placed between two columns of links to other stories, other photos, automatically-playing videos, and ads.
That's not the same CVV.

Edit: Even having the track 2 data won't do you any good in reproducing an EMV card. The only way reproducing a mag stripe EMV card is useful, is if it is used at a non-EMV terminal and mag stripe is the only option.

I believe Europe has complete banished mag stripe now.
Not everyone is equally antisocial.
That's accountability by definition. Your ass will be on the firing line for every decision that doesn't work out, whether done by those below you or above you doesn't matter.

I was heavily into SWOTOR at the time and that was a driver for an increase in my battery capacity, but honestly, the place I worked at was pretty chilled and I could sit and play after work if I wanted (on my laptop).

There is nothing to prevent you having one wall of your van being a white projector screen. You just need to consider how you power such an environment for a night of gaming.

TBH it's not that unfeasible to have a projector mounted on the roof and a pull down screen.....one worth thinking about.
See the issue is you and I have very different ideas of what work needs to be done:

I don't use higher-order mathematical primitives in my work, so that's out. I avoid threading like the plauge (even in non-lisp code), and I've never had to sacrifice a single goat to get quicklisp to work.
I see a lot of great discussion but not much centered around hosting itself. I do agree with Brennan and have been pricing how he described for some time, it works. Value based pricing always works with the right kind of clients.

Along the way I was able to run a website that delivered the retail customer website of a billion dollar company using my code.

How something as silly as hosting helped make it happen..

I have hosted customer apps and sites in a datacenter since about 98. Networking, security was something that there was little choice to avoid picking up in addition to software development.

Forget about today, even 15 years ago (man it's weird typing that), hosting was quickly becoming outdated. Yet, there was still an earnest need that was going unfulfilled.

The need I see repeatedly is for complex/custom hosting of Web apps and websites instead of the basic ones.

Example today? Even something as simple as Wordpress is a pain to reliably host when there is traffic for the average person. Someone deciding to master WP has lead to a fantastic startup with WPEngine which sits on the premium end compared to it's peers.

This isn't for everyone: assuming you have the ability to develop your skills as needed, and with the right support, you can tackle your slice of the complex/custom/app hosting market.

Even small businesses with custom workflow or website apps often end up needing their own vps or dedicated server to maintain. If you're this passionate about hosting, I'm trusting that you have or are pursuing dedicated hosting skills.

Putting together a managed server hosting package that may or may not provide application level support can be quite stable income assuming the line is clearly drawn between code induced issues vs infrastructure induced issues.

How much is on the other side?

On the low end I have changed a few hundred a month, all the way up to a few thousand a month, so a customer can have a sys and app admin rolled into one.

The right kind of customers definitely have a peace of mind budget, where they want the discipline and consistent availability of someone who cares about them more than a contractor. The bottom rung of customers don't scale very easily, either.
Agree in general - though I'd stop short of questioning if the person needs to re-evaluate whether or not they should be in the program.

A lot of high school students come into university with no job-finding skills, which are going to be critical to their future success. Job-finding, interview, and general industry skills are hard won through experience.

Like failing a course, failing to demonstrate rudimentary job skills should hold you back until you can gain these skills. For some people this takes longer than others (1A + 1B unemployment at Waterloo is somewhat rare), but repeatedly being unemployed is not necessarily a sign that someone doesn't belong entirely.

Knowing little about his friend, my first reaction is that maybe he should've stuck it out. Waterloo is a tremendous place to gain job skills - there is no more fertile ground to test resumes and interview skills at volume than it - I personally had over 70 interviews under my belt by the time I left that school.

I really don't think this is a big deal. I've had the same MTA card in my wallet for over a year (and a previous one like it for a year before that). I just top it off with $50-60 a month and there's no issue.

I appreciate that this might be bothersome to some tourists, but my experience is that most tourists who buy MTA cards don't calculate exactly how many rides they're going to take in a several day visit to NYC.

I've spent a fair amount of time in core.async, and I feel like I'm on the edge of enlightenment here, but I don't quite understand how CSP helps with this example. Is the point that you can take multiple puts off the channel in one go? That's the only thing I can think of.

Maybe you could present the CSP alternative, and a basic example use case?

* edit: I guess a basic example is a sliding-buffer that only keeps, and thus only reacts to, the last mouse event. Is this on the right track?
This looks like a great idea. For me this was a missing piece two months ago when playing with Docker.

However I have strong doubts about the network performance, not only the overhead of the UDP encapsulation (that should be quite small), but mostly the capturing of packets with pcap and then handling them in user-mode. Looks like a lot of context-switches, copying and parsing with non-optimal code paths. Are there any benchmarks available?

My feeling is that this will consume large amounts of CPU for moderate network loads and thus be unusable with most NoSQL kind of systems that benefit from clustering across hosts?
Yes, you need the CVV printed on the back of the credit card to make an online purchase.

And the CVV on the back, is different than the CVV stored on the magstripe/chip.

Facts about iOS8 for App Developers
Just curious, what is "longer periods"? Is celibacy for a year really a plausible outcome for most people in SF? And is it so likely that it makes living in a car worthwhile? I'm honestly curious.

Year-long celibacy is not super uncommon in India, but Indian culture is explicitly set up to make sure women don't have sex until their parents get them married off. I'm really shocked to hear that SF is that bad.

What's completely broken about it? If you use it the way it was intended to be used, as a cache for apps, then it works perfectly fine in my experience. It behaves like a native app that updates itself in the background (Chrome itself does this, for example). If you try to use it as a HTTP cache then yes, it's completely the wrong tool for the job and you're gonna have a bad time.
It may be a natural function, but it can be amplified and distorted by institutions and media. Not all cultures are the same, and there are reasons for that.
There are companies that hire in the top-20 (as opposed to top-5) markets. They usually have their own idiosyncrasies (like taking 3 weeks to schedule an onsite interview), but they are out there.

10 Examples of Awesome Landing Pages for Mobile Apps
Back in 2008 when I was in high school I picked up computers that were thrown out by the school with 256 or less RAM. The smallest one only had 64mb of RAM! I managed to install Ubuntu 6 on it but I could feel the lag. I found DSL and I had no trouble running it on them at all. The iSO was only 50MB irrc. It was damn small.

I'm curious too.

What's the "turnover" with those clothes - i.e. how often do you buy new ones and throw out the old ones? Ever gotten any weird looks for running around in mostly the same outfits? What do you do when you need a suit?

What do you do about your data? Do you carry any additional HDDs in those backpacks? Don't you keep any spare hardware around for when things break to be able to replace them quickly?

What about legal documents (birth certificate, graduation certificates, tax declarations, etc.)? Do you store them somewhere safely, or keep them on you?

Also, do you have any allergies? One thing I allways seem to have too little of when travelling is napkins/tissues.

What do you do for more mundane things like scissors and paper and priting stuff?
Comprehensive list of API's per market

For example I'm currently working on a startup in the travel industry and would need an API to sync hotel names/addresses and another one to sync flights.

Do you know about a collection of API's somewhere?
That's definitely a good point! Thanks for the heads up. That is something I'll take care of.

Or, what might they be getting (or think they're getting) that they wouldn't (think that they would) be able to get elsewhere?

Maybe they're concerned about lead times for hiring new people (stealing someone from a competitor vs all new employees needing to move first)?

Supposedly one of the reasons that Silicon Valley did so well, is that California doesn't allow non-compete agreements. Perhaps there's actually some benefit to exchanging employees with your competitors more often? (But then, what about the no-poaching agreements that companies were getting sued over recently?)

Maybe they're concerned that being the only shop in town would make managers more reluctant to fire people who need it (does corporate location preference correlate to corporate culture regarding expected length of service)?

Maybe having offices in less expensive locations hurts the company image (for customers, or potential employees, or both) enough that the extra salary cost is worth it?
Color? That'd be the TRS-80 Color Computer, very different from the TRS-80 Model III, which was a (slightly) improved version of the TRS-80 Model I. Different CPU (6809E) in the CoCo, most of the TRS-80s used Z-80s till you got to the Unix machine, which used a 68000.

I meant American Express. Acceptance of Mastercard and Visa is fine here, but American Express used to be far behind and is now playing catch-up.

And for groceries in Amsterdam for example you're going to be searching for quite some time for a supermarket that accepts credit cards. They only accept debit, which is what 99% of the population has as their primary card. Of course everybody has a credit card as well, but that's mostly used for online shopping and things like restaurants, not supermarkets.

So totally different from the US where any supermarket accepts credit-cards.
This generally only hits tourists but there is one place that' it's super annoying. If you take the AirTrain from JFK to Jamaica you have to pay $5. The issue is that you can't load that $5 onto an unlimited Metrocard (the kind that most locals use) so you have to get a new one with the associated $1 fee. Then you get your bonus on top of the $5 so you have a $5.40 Metrocard or whatever it comes out to but you've paid $6 for it and now have 40 useless cents on it once you come out of the Airtrain.
It might be kinda real, but I think it's a lot easier to see coming and prepare for than the show implies. I've only watched the last two seasons of shark tank, but from what I remember the offer always seems to come out of left field, Mark doesn't appear interested and then he suddenly makes an offer. I don't think it's usually like that, but it makes for some great television.
