Being a computer programmer does not disqualify the OP. He'll have to prove that a year of working with Cloudflare for a year has given him specialized knowledge in one or the following areas:

1. Business domain: That OP has learned about the business domain that Cloudflare operates in, and has gained insights and knowledge that will not be present in fresh hires in the US

2. Cloudflare business processes: That OP has mastered one or many Cloudflare business processes which require at least a year of working with the company and cannot be expected from new joiner immediately

3. Proprietary tools knowledge: That OP has mastered one or many proprietary tools used by Cloudflare and that this mastery is a result of working with the tools extensively during OP's one year tenure with the company

tl;dr version - need to have some knowledge (tools, domain knowledge, business process knowledge) that cannot be expected from a fresh joiner.
I am not sure if it is good are bad but i know a state(Kerala) in India where entire food is cooked in Coconut oil and it is awesome and i have not seen their heart or other health point well in comparison to other states.

I think the matter is that eat what is naturally available in the environment you live and it should be ok. Also with food act always like dont have money to spend more than what you really really need then we should be ok.
Games were still released after the death of Dreamcast.

The library of schmups is particularly impressive - Rez, Ikaruga, Bangai-O, etc were excellent games.

It also had quirky weird games. "BomberHehHe" was Japanese only game where you place explosive to destroy buildings. You get points for maximum destruction. It didn't get a western release because it came out just before 9/11 and people were wary of games about destroying tower blocks. It deserves a remake. Or at least, a loose clone.

It had a few good driving games, but it struggled to compete against Gran Turismo. (The first game is actually hard and avoids the shovelware problem of later versions). Sega Rally looks nice, but wasn't as good as sega Rally on the Saturn which, with 3 cars and tracks was perfect with the driving experience.

One thig people haven't mentioned is the ease of piracy. Usenet news groups could distribute roms easily enough. Some games needed a loader disc, but eventually most didn't.

That time - N64; Dreamcast; Playstation one - was brilliant for console gaming.
It's too bad Console Wars (http://www.consolewarsbook.com/) doesn't cover Dreamcast times. This Gamasutra writeup fills in neatly. Otherwise that's a book I can recommend. I'm hopeing there would be a sequel covering PlayStations, GameCube and Wii, Xbox and Dreamcast.
IBM never gained control of that market sector though. What happened is that they lost control of the technical standards they created, accidentaly launching an open platform they never intended to be open. If IBM had retained control of the PC and had as a result dominated the desktop computer industry, history would be very different.

I don't think Jobs ever really intended to win the dsktop wars in that way though. He never even tried to compete in every market segment and control every standard. I think his conception of Apple was always (since the lanuch of the Mac anyway) as a premium brand capturing the top end of the market, where the profits are. There would always be a mass market and enthusiast community in a world in which Apple was the dominant desktop brand, because Apple had no interest in competing with it. Conversely Microsoft has always ben about market share first, with an MS computer on every desk running MS software. That's not a Jobsian vision. Even when the iPhone was the only 'modern' smartphone and Android devices were years away from competing effectively with it, Apple never went for the market share play. At the time this was roundly criticised in the media as a grave strategic error, in some circles it still is, but that was to completely misunderstand Apple's strategy.
Your not trying to protect yourself form the NSA. If the US government saw you as a real threat they could walk into your server room and taking the hardware, or launch a drone strike.

The real threat is pranksters, disgruntled employees and most importantly criminal enterprises who need to weigh their targets. The relative security of our credit cards in a digital world speaks to the measured success of small time security.

Oh boy. Oh yes it is. You don't bribe someone for information unless you have dirt on them, otherwise there's nothing to stop them turning traitor on you. If you don't have dirt on them, you just invent some. Doesn't matter. People don't fact-check - if the media says it, it must be true.

An attitude? This stuff seems to happen again and again throughout history. Me asking this may bring root cause problems to the conversation too.

You would think the world view of a large number of people would have changed considering things like the cold war with the U.S.S.R, Iran-Contra, Bay-of-Tonkin, etc. If it had, mass surveillance would be a lot more prevalent in every day communication.
You should have a little faith in humanity. Just give it some time.
Today Alibaba has more sales than eBay and Amazon combined. One important factor was Alibaba had enough capital to outrun competitors, considering it offered free service in its early years and how strong Tencent and Baidu were China. Jack Ma paid the cost to ensure the long term success. I wouldn't consider it is a big mistake, and certainly not early (Yahoo deal came at much later time).

I do not follow what you mean by discretize, could you elaborate?

I'm merely trying to explain it's worthwhile to consider Snowden isn't acting in our best interest. Imagine Snowden's supervisor comes to him and says: "You're going on an extended special mission abroad. Leak these documents to some journalists. Act like you're trying to shed light on what's going on by playing the victim card. The goal is...."?

Per the leaks, solutions to the surveillance problem are limited and likely won't become something proliferated through the masses due to cost, availability, usability, or some combination of the three. We're talking about eliminating hardware-level vulnerabilities, not patching software. And even when and if we do fix these vulnerabilities, what's to stop them from doing it again? All it takes is threatening the life of the company or individuals involved in the development process.
I can't tell if it is using the GPU, SIMD, multiple cores, memory compression/decompression, code rewriting(JIT), or other high performance techniques.

It's nice to see BitTorrent used for file transfers (user to user). Strange that it is still hard to get files from A to B. You can put them on a webserver if you have one, or use dropbox, but the download can only start when the upload is finished. I usually use scp for this, but it only works when one side is not firewalled, and isn't feasible for non-technical people. This one could be really useful.

It's sad that BitTorrent is otherwise basically dead (as a way to obtain content). Where I live (Germany) you often get immediately subpoenaed (or the German equiv.) if you use it to download something.

Minority protections probably already cover the cases you describe (eg veto rights).
The Mil-CD piracy was really bad. The Dreamcast used GD-ROMs: 1GB optical discs which were effectively unpiratable as they were custom to the console. Almost as an afterthought though SEGA added a secondary executable disc format: Mil-CD. These were meant to be audio CD singles with a Dreamcast executable embedded. They never really caught on though, and only a few titles were released. The support for booting DC code from a CD remained in the console though, so people were able to rip the bootloader from a Mil-CD, append the data from a ripped GD-ROM (extracted with a buffer overflow in a game and the modem / later ethernet adaptor) and boot that. Took a manual process to set up, but after that it was freely distributable and burnable, and played without any modification to the console. The only games that were safe were those bigger than 760mb, and even then the assets could be resampled down to a smaller size.
I'm not sure if I this is a sign that I should stop working on my realtime multiplayer hacker game or if it means that there is a huge market for this genre out there.

You clearly know a lot about the details here, but from a high up perspective I think the ease of development is one of a few key factors (others being games, price, brand loyalty and features). With the PS2 Sony had a strong enough foothold in the market for developers to have to suppor the platform, and the initial under performing games to not be an issue.

If the PS4 and Xbox One were released with the PS4 being harder to develope for (lets just say flip the UMA to PS4) we would see the Xbox One with 1080p/60fps games and the PS4 lagging behind. I think this would cause the Xbox one to be on top in terms of sales.

When the first xbox was released it had a very familiar PC architecture, I think if they had gone with something bespoke it would have been an instant flop.

While it's not the only factor in a console's success I think to say it's irrelevant is an over statement.
KDC or Glenn Greenwald raped anybody?

Has Assange been convicted of rape?

Has a charge even been brought?
But the strategy was right, the image of Apple as innovator still stands strong in consumers' minds, despite obvious incorrectness.
All platforms were not necessarily equal when the Internet/WWW came around. The browsers eventually came to be multi-platform and support standards but it took a very long time to move away from platform specific software. Look at the legacy created by IE, for example.
Wow, I've never heard of this before. I am using torrent as we speak.
Lock-in. Good hackers want control, portability, and to not have to learn a proprietary platform.
It doesn't appear that standing on a block counts as observing it, so yes. Also don't look back down if you looked away. Which makes it seem more like cartoon physics.

It would be interesting if standing on a block counts as observing certain properties of it, but not others. So standing on dirt means it could change to stone or wood, but not lava or water or make the block disappear.
(I'm also in NSW)-- The list of "support requests" on the customers page suggests that the tools are used only in accordance with duly-issued warrants. Access would need to be removed once the purpose of the warrant had been fulfilled, but we may never know whether they get that right in practice. Ben Grubb has collated some background information on the operation of those laws.[1]

This reminds me of Lazo.js from Walmart labs (https://github.com/walmartlabs/lazojs). That is also a client-server framework with code shared between client and the server. Although Ruby is obviously harder to share, than JavaScript.
It's a bit gimmicky, but I can imagine a market for it, especially among those who like gadgets. Tailgate parties, frat boys, etc.
As a New Zealander, I have not felt more disgusted by a Prime Minister since Muldoon. This isn't news to those of us in the tech sector with experience in NZ - but it's amazing for international hero's such as Glenn Greenwald, Edward Snowden and Assange speak out so publicly about the grease-bag that is John Key and his party. Apologies for the loaded wording, I feel very passionately about the freedom of New Zealand.

I don't think even they would agree to that.

KDC is a serial criminal/fraudster with a ton of convictions to his name that will pursue a buck no matter what he has to do for it.

Glenn Greenwald is a journalist who will not be pushed or pressured into behaving as governments believe he should, who has taught a superb lesson in ethics to a large swath of the journalistic profession. He's this generations Woodward or Bernstein, take your pick.

Julian Assange is a person that I respect on a professional level for what he's done with WikiLeaks but who quite probably has some flaws and possibly something to answer for in his private life.

They couldn't be more different.

In Germany Lard is generally not used for cooking anymore. Instead plant based oils are used or concentrated butter (called Butterschmalz, similar to Ghee).

But at least in the south it's available in every supermarket in several kinds. Some pure, some spiced. It's most commonly used as spread. But it's a matter of taste. Some fancy restaurants serve the bread they serve in advance not only with butter but also with lard.

Also funny to see "and lithiums are 3V" (not mentioning li-ion at all) next to... the 3.7V lions they're selling on the same page.

Fortunately the actual page on li-ion gives 3.6V

Personally I think the safety risks of using li-ion cells like 18650s are a bit overexaggerated -- the torch/"vape" community has been using them in large quantities (in China they are becoming nearly as common as AAs), and there have only been a few notable cases of significant damage. Yes they are not as safe as something like an alkaline but even lead-acid and NiMH/NiCd can source significant amounts of current too.
An arrest warrant was issued and the guy fled to escape being charged. And then he ran again. So saying he hasn't been convicted or charged is a pretty high-chutzpah defense.
I upvoted you because I believe this is a very valid question. In the really long term, none of it will make a difference. In the short term it will probably also not make a difference but I have some hope that there will be a major review of what we've done wrong historically at some point and then maybe this will carry some weight.

For sure there is plenty that - when looked at through the lens of history - will come back to haunt our future collective selves and that we will feel needs to be dealt with if we are to progress as humanity.

On that scale by the way (in my opinion) these are very minor issues.

I have to say, there's only a problem while illegally downloading stuff (tv shows, films, ...) of course. BitTorrent itself is perfectly legal, and I've seriously used it many times to download Linux ISOs and similar. Also technically, it is the uploading that bittorrent does that is illegal.

The other day I made the mistake of downloading one of the last How I Met Your Mother episodes via torrent (the first time in years). Two weeks later I had a nice invoice over several hundred Euros in my mailbox :-(, and I know a couple other people to whom happened the same. That's why I wouldn't touch Popcorn Time with a ten feet pole.
You have your timing mixed up.

Please study the case in detail before you make such charged statements.

The timing there is very subtle and open to several interpretations depending on how you want to fill in the blanks:

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

So I won't blame you, it's an extremely complex case that does not lend itself to the issuing of 5 word sound bites.

It's complex because all parties appear to have behaved in weird and sometimes in-explicable ways and all parties seem to have made morally questionable moves (including the prosecutor).

You mention 'less rape' as if to you rape has been proven beyond any reasonable doubt. Normally such language is used for convicted criminals.

It's perfectly ok with me if you don't like Assange, I'm of the opinion if he did just the bits that he has admitted to and that seem to be indisputable that he's a complete douchebag but the behaviour of the women, the authorities and the process up to and including Assanges holing up in the Equadorian Embassy in London make me stop very much short of calling him a rapist. I may change that position in the future, but I'll wait for the trial (assuming there ever is one).

There is a ton of stuff there that's questionable at a minimum not the least of which is the series of actions by the Swedish prosecutor.

Prototype SMD boards are easy. Much easier than buying caustic chemicals and doing it yourself.

Molded plastic has traditionally been harder since you needed a mold injection machine and doing a prototype mold is hardly cost effective. But with 3D printing even the local Staples can print you prototype now.

The complication for most people has been the 3D software. They are still complex and except for the most basic of shapes requires days of intense training and practice. A lot of people have a hard time converting a mental 3D image, to a 2D display, and back to 3D.
I would recommend you to stop making such sweeping generalizations about "CS crowd" and educate yourself on deontological vs consequentialist ethics debate. Yes, religions are firmly in the deontological camp and it showed during the millenia of superstition, witchhunts and obstruction of scientific progress.

I live in Germany but this is the first time I hear about this.

The only rule might be: do not down load content ( music) from Sony/BMG because they actively monitor the biggest torrent sites/downloads and might get a letter from their lawyer ( which you can ignore basically).

Movies and music from other labels are relatively safe. I don't download anymore since with 7 euro montly ( two beers) I have Google all access, while spotify is free from mobile.
> Where I live (Germany) you often get immediately subpoenaed (or the German equiv.) if you use it to download something.

That's absolutely not true. You can use BitTorrent as much as you like, there is absolutely no danger in doing so. If you commit copyright violations however, you might get caught regardless of how you did it.

> That's not a Jobsian vision. Even when the iPhone was the only 'modern' smartphone and Android devices were years away from competing effectively with it, Apple never went for the market share play

Yet Apple achieved a large market share and was perfectly happy with it even when Jobs was on the board. I'd find it hard to believe that you don't want Market Share anyway, even if you target premium users. You don't want to be a Ferrari maker in the end with a minuscule market share. I'd rather say Apple was always trying to keep a substantial market share while having "better" products (just like P&G for example, they win on the market with more expensive products) but failed until they entered the Portable Music Players and Smartphone market.

This is a very cool project but it is not compatible with current bittorrent clients. It uses webrtc for the transport instead of UDP. In order for it to be compatible with traditional bittorrent clients, those clients would have to implement communication with webtorrent clients, which hopefully shouldn't be too hard, still as of now it won't work with current clients. Still very cool though and I hope traditional clients will implement webtorrent. The other way to make it work would for browsers to implement UDP which some do such as chrome but only as chrome apps.
