And it likely won't.. at least not without giving up the ability to work over high latency/lossy connections properly.

The reason mosh shows you current-state rather than playing catch up with every byte transmitted by the terminal is very deliberate, and desired.
There's no reason for a clever malware to root your phone. "Rooting" only makes sense if you want to replace 'su' to grant root to different apps. If a malware escalates to root, it can just do whatever it wants, it doesn't have to "root".

Besides, even if the malware really needed to "root" the device, it could just use the same process has RootCloak[1] to hide that fact.

There's no valid security explanation; the app must designed assuming it's running on an insecure system, because there's no way of knowing if the system isn't lying.

I was going to sign up for this on Friday, but it makes you buy a minimum of 5 licenses, so the lowest monthly payment is $75. I thought that was pretty lame so I started looking for something else. I tried ownCloud but it was not very happy with my PHP configuration so I quit that and ended up using Synology's Cloud Station and port-forwarding it. Costs $0 extra to me since I already have a Synology NAS, local storage, easy configuration that doesn't interfere with any existing services, and clients for mobile, Mac, and Linux (GUI only unfortunately).

All of that would've been avoided if I could've just paid Dropbox $30/mo, but I guess I'm glad they priced themselves out by trying to force me to pay for 3 users that I'm not going to have for a long time.
Same for the lloyds app. I believe it got ~1k 1-star reviews after that. They included some more stupid changes at the same time, so it's not just rooted phone users, but it's going to be a large number anyway. At least the mobile version of their website still works.

Although I like mosh, I agree that fixing this at a lower level would be better.

What do you think about Multi-path? I think Apple is already using it for Siri.

http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6824.html
I missed this at the time, but I think you read past what I said: I used "devops" in the tools sense, not the people sense. A programming language (the syntax, the compiler, the linter) can't be everything to everyone, and therefore most don't attempt to shoehorn in things like static asset bundling, etc.

That's why frameworks exist, or packages like go-bindata or rakyll/statik (https://github.com/rakyll/statik), or CM tools that can wrap it all together.
It's not freenas specific but ZFS in general likes plenty of ram (and ECC is a must). It's questionable whether the GB for TB holds once you have "enough" in the 8+ GB range of ram
I am glad you're spending time on HN to discuss this. For me it's about finding the right balance between isolation and being part of communities. Take for example phinished.org. It is a completely anonymous community for stressed out phd students, that seem to be perfect for those day when you're just to stressed out or to damn bored to do anything really useful. Sometimes it can be extremely useful to be part of a community like that. Sometimes you need distraction free days.

Smartphones, like iPhone, are only 7 years old. It will take more years for people to learn how to live with it. Smartphones have already been coined "the new cigarette", used by stressed out people to calm down on café's and public places. In the future we'll probably have professional help for people who want to quit fiddling with their phone all the time.

Recent client: "As an academic entrepreneur, I have engaged in a number of out-sourcing processes and truth be told, _kohanz_ was one of the few that I would still continue working with. He is skillful, honest and up front, knows what he is doing and does his job very quickly and within the time frame promised at the beginning."

Experienced (10+ years) developer of software for medical devices and scientific applications, many with an imaging component. Have architected and led teams to deliver on software for systems in both diagnostic and interventional contexts. Comfortable working in an FDA-regulated & ISO 13485 compliant quality system.

I excel at iterating research or early-stage prototypes (e.g. MATLAB developed by researchers) into commercial-grade software ready to impress the right audience (clinicians, investors, etc.).

Developing scientific applications involves a high degree of uncertainty and requires an engineer that actively participates in all phases of the SDLC (e.g. requirements gathering, risk analysis, etc.). My ability to communicate has always led to my role as the technical point of contact for researchers, clinicians (surgeons, radiologists, etc.), and senior executives.

One of my current freelance projects is creating a software application to drive the receive/transmit of a novel ultrasound transducer and then scan-convert the signal into an image in real-time. Outside of the medical domain, my development projects have included an automated stock-trading engine (including backtesting suite) and an NBA play-by-play parser for analytics.

I'm primarily a web developer and I'd like to get hired for a either a front or back end engineering job. But, if you have an interesting position like in security or something, let me know.

I have the most experience in Rails and Clojure, and I just started playing with Node.js. However, if you're willing to train me or give me some time to learn, I could pick pretty much anything up for you. Like Go for instance, I'd love to get to work with Go.

If you're a startup or software company, another thing I'd love an opportunity to do is be your patio11. I love analytics and want to learn sales and marketing. I can add a lot of value to your company in this way. Give me an analytics dashboard and let me do some sql queries and we can set up emails with incredible ROI.

So if you're around the Chicago area or are hiring remote, let me know, even if you're doing Python or low level C stuff.

I have an interview tomorrow so message me ASAP.

"I wish I had started this process in a screen session" problem

Why is everyone here assuming all programs can be run in a screen session? I run emacs over X11 through a tunnel. This is far superior to emacs in a screen session.
The whole area of VAT in the EU, for companies like Dropbox, changes on January 1, 2015. Dropbox will not be able to state that they don't pay VAT in the EU after this date as the rules will have changed. They will have to start paying VAT based on where their customer is located in the EU, e.g. German Dropbox customers will have to pay German VAT (19%). Hungarian Dropbox customers, meanwhile, will have to pay Hungarian VAT (27%). Dropbox will have to decide whether to pass on the price differential or absorb it. Interesting times.

Your typical Android phone has 2-3 built in backup options (e.g. Google+ photo backup, Google Cloud Backup, [manufacturer] backup).

So unless those are all well secured (and they may be, no clue) then moving to Android is no magical fix.

A better way of doing things is making it more clear to people what they are and aren't backing up. I'm sure for the majority of people backing up nudes is unintentional.
There is no state sales tax that is 10%. If you combine city, county, and state sales tax, you get 10% in just two cities in the entire United States (both in Alabama).
With Apple's market it seems inconsistent. There are some iPhone apps that are $0.99/€0.99/£0.99 or $9.99/€9.99/£9.99, but also many that are $0.99/€0.89/£0.69 or $9.99/€8.99/£6.99. Not an exact conversion, but not just swapping out the signs either. I think the app author gets to choose which of those two pricing schemes they want.
Who is to say they didn't do a "proper calculation" and result in something close enough to €99 that they just rounded up/down to keep things consistent?

-----

UI developer/designer. At work I do about 80% code and 20% design. I have branding experience and come from an Art background.

I love working at the intersection of art and technology and I believe our industry is still taking its baby steps. I'm determined to create and help create interfaces that push boundaries and let us use software in more efficient and engaging ways.

I'm a clojure enthusiast, because I believe that applications are more scalable and powerful when their design is simple.
I see moments of "absortion" as a threat to my focus. Don't get me wrong, I love to read news (hardware, programming, design, startups, marketing and fashion..yes fashion.) but I don't want to waste my time on it. When you read something, you need to make a use of it. So you need to have more time for work. More time for testing and more time for being focused. I read "the Internet" when I feel a little bit tired - usually in the afternoon. For me, this is the best way to make use of power that you still have. When I'm doing this in the morning, I just feel that I'm wasting my time and energy. I have a few favs but usually want to read as much as I can and like to research for some new sources.
How can you see German programming in Netflix when it doesn't even exist yet in Germany? They're supposed to launch here in two weeks, but as far as I know nothing is available yet.
My 2¢:

1. Life is about the continuous cycle of our human species development and where we fit in that as individuals.

2. A religion as a system of beliefs is not so much to be true as to fulfill a purpose. The purpose (and the religion) can and should be revised from time to time. (Religions can be replaced.)

3. Agreed.

4. Justice is grounded on power. It should be on reason.

5. We need adequate regulation. If what we have is adequate or not is a subjective and a political mater.

6. University education should not be a replacement for auto-didactic learning.

7. Agreed. Overspecialization is a weakness in itself.

8. Partially agreed. The package of ability and personality is both genetically inherited and later shaped.

9. If in doubt, improve your ability to make an educated guess by learning more about the mater. This is what humans (should) do, as a species.

10. Luck is both given (by arbitrary events) AND created (by how we react to arbitrary events).

11. "Risk-avoidance is the riskiest strategy." does not fully respect the logic.

12. Through "well-intended conservation" the good is at most just preserved (by definition), therefore the comparison is flawed. Also, it's worth noting that there is an effect called "absence blindness" that kicks in in such comparisons. http://joshkaufman.net/absence-blindness/

13. Technological progress spawns a lot of things, including extinctions for many things that we come later to disregard.

14. Progress is not a mathematical function and any attempt to force it to look otherwise is an error-prone exercise.

15. The average is a more simplistic reduction than the power-laws, so agreed. A less simplistic representation than power-laws is also possible.

16. Agreed. (We would probably need a religion drive to achieve that.)

17. Agreed.

18. Aging is a natural biological process. Humans will step over their biological limits, but that will threaten our cohesion on a species level. One of my personal wishes is to leave behind the humanity in one piece...

19. Consciousness is a feedback loop. (The most simplistic reduction.)

20. Free will is an optimum seeking mechanism (made of deterministic components indeed).

In the end looks like for the most of the beliefs I'm too in those that the OP refers to as "many".

I've done Linux system administration, including security lockdown, configuration of DNS (Bind), Apache, firewall, etc. Currently I focus on iOS apps, and I can do server-side work as well, preferably in a scripting language like Python or Perl.

I wouldn't consider myself experienced with Android but I did ship a small Android project. I've worked with local as well as outsourced teams in China, Indonesia and India. I could start as soon as next month.

There are plenty of C family syntax languages that are more compact. The main reason why Go is very verbose is because it doesn't support generics (so you have to duplicate a lot of code) and no exceptions (so your code is littered with

ok, err := Foo()
if err { ... }

and then the caller has to do the same thing (basically reinventing manually what exceptions do for you).
How about import taxes then? I can imagine Apple is a US company and thus pays either no or very little import tax when they get their shipments from the production facilities in China, but to get it to Europe costs more money. I can imagine. I know nothing.
