That's an excellent rebuttal and I agree completely, but there is another issue with the golden key concept. If the key was only ever goign to be kept ina secure vault burried under Fort Knox forever, it woudl probably not constitute a significant vulnerability. That's the picture golden key proponent paint when they describe such a system.

The problem is that government agencies have demonstrated very clearly that they will use such a key as often and as liberally as they can get away with. Every time the key is brought out and used, it becomes vulnerable to interception or disclosure to the point where pretending that it is sure to be safe is just completely out of touch with reality.
3. NO SELF-DEVELOPMENT - Not an issue. I take full responsibility for this. That where the "SELF" comes from.

Self development is one thing and I buy into this wholeheartedly. However, having a company recognize this into your work schedule makes all the difference. If my only self development time is supposed to be that one hour a week where I'm not working, spending time with my family, or working on the house, then it's not gonna happen.

I think it would be even scarier than that. I imagine very few people would even issue debt. I know I would not. People default on debt all the time now and there is some legal recourse. I can only imagine how many people would default if there was no consequence. So now even people with every intention to repay their debt won't even get it. I believe that this would lead to an even bigger class gap because people who don't have the money to start businesses, buy houses or cars, etc no longer can get a loan to do it. I think it really would create a bigger divide between the Haves and the Have-Nots.

I'm not saying that having a bunch of debt is good. But imagine where you'd be right now if you couldn't get a student loan for an education. Or finance a car or a house. I'm pretty sure I would not be where I am now if I hadn't gone to school... which I would not have been able to do without a student loan. And I never would have been able to get a house without a loan.
Is there anything beyond getting what our distro sends down the pipeline? Exactly how behind would I be if I did that?
Yeah. That's exactly how it works. Me and all my friends have top-models of different brands, and I don't know a single person who paid anything upfront. HTC One here - 30 pounds a month contract. Iphone 5S - 35 pounds a month contract. LG G3 - 28 pounds a month. All of these prices roughly translate into $50/month - so why would you pay anything upfront?? And just because a phone costs $600 on the retail market don't assume that operators pay anywhere near that.

You assume the current way of doing things is the best way. "Special Treatment" isn't special. The way many companies currently operate promotes "Special Treatment" more-so.

The past dictates the present, exposures dictate the future.
A kid from the slums might have a "natural" interest in what they see day in and day out. However, they could be gifted in other areas and don't find out until they're exposed to it.

Relying on "natural" interest is a way of instantly labeling people via statistics. Job incentives get people to learn about trades, money keeps them loyal to that trade/company. That's why university students change their majors so often - they grow, see better outcomes in other fields and follow the one that's more beneficial for the future they envision.

A natural deposition helps you excel but that's about it.

In total to think about Diversity:

Companies are living organisms and in order to ensure survival you must diversify. If you've lived in a vacuum your entire live and you encounter a common cold virus, you're going to go through hell to survive it. Your body has no experience dealing with it and it's thrown off course. Think natives and small pox from Europeans - Complete Die Off.

As companies diversify, they become immune to cultural shifts and are more prepared to grow and thrive in all situations. They don't make blunders in ignorance, they handle their customers better and they grow stronger because of support and loyalty cultivated in various groups or people - Think Coke. One group of people get mad, they have 50 more who support them.
A provocative but misleading title. The article actually is just a modification of a welcome email, indeed it makes it worse as it doesn't just inform but demands immediate attention too. Title should be "badgering your potential customers to respond immediately in your welcome email increases responses".

It probably works well as a sales tactic but TBH I'm not inclined to do business with companies that demand I work to their schedule in their welcome email. I mean 'drop everything and respond to us within 30 mins' is pretty aggressive.
Doesn't that just mean that as a wannabe criminal I buy my iPhone from some no-extradition-treaty country, safe in the knowledge that the FBI's keys aren't on it?
Thanks for clearing this out. This is also mentioned in one of their FAQs.

The companies who are our private beta customers have been using the other company's product (and a few others in the market) for long, and they were dissatisfied. We sat down with at least 15-20 of them and figured out what was the reason. We think we have "What do you understand about this that $COMPANY does not?" figured out. And the product has been very well received.

Actually, we ourselves think we are not in competition with them, because although we are trying to solve the same problem, our approach is starkly different from theirs. So, we're prepared for that as well. :)

Didn't see that little gem. If I signed up and received a phone call within 30 mins Id probably go ahead and close the account.

Email replies doesn't actually mean anything, would be interesting to see what kind of user rentention and paying customers they got from both approaches.

Also, if someone replies saying "please do not call me". Does this count in the stats?
This analogy doesn't relate to OP's comment. He's talking about secured debt with institutional lenders, not interpersonal loans. Risk is an integral component to determining your interest rate in the US. This is why there is an industry around protecting, understanding, and improving one's FICO score here. Try getting a good loan with a crappy (or substandard) credit score.

Finding vulnerabilities in closed source software is just as easy as finding vulnerabilities in open source software. The key differences are:

* Transparency.

* The ability to fix it yourself.

Also consider this: No one submits patches to fix vulnerabilities in closed source software because that's not possible without the source. This results in all sorts of problems that just don't exist when the code is available:

* After reporting a vulnerability you now have to wait for the vendor to fix it. If the vulnerability isn't out in the open (yet) they might take their sweet time while you nervously twiddle your thumbs.

* If the vendor doesn't support the product anymore (or the vendor doesn't exist anymore) then there's really no options at all. You have to live with the vulnerability or get a new product.

* When the vendor releases a fix how do you know if they fixed the core vulnerability or just the edge case that was given to them? All too often vendors apply hacks to detect specific edge cases instead of fixing underlying problems. This is why attackers are able to take advantage of old vulnerabilities by means of simple fuzzing (or just being clever).

For example, I reported a horrific information disclosure vulnerability (SSNs in the clear) once and their 'fix' was to base64-encode the data. If I didn't keep track and follow up with them (took them four months to release that 'fix') it is likely that vulnerability would still be present.

There's actually a lot of other problems related to closed source vulnerabilities and fixes but I'm out of time...

Form the point of view of the folks who never use a smart phone before, this $35 phone is probably very good.

a) I just let Nginx do the redirect. Varnish can cache 302's so after the first one it won't hit Nginx again until the cache times out.

b) You have to terminate SSL connections before hitting Varnish. There is very little chance SSL termination will ever be part of Varnish. On AWS you can terminate with ELB.

c) Varnish can add HTTP headers and it will respect the headers your backend sets.

d) Varnish can disable caching for a specific path or again it will respect the No-Cache headers a backend sets.

Actually, the life-after-death thing is a bit secondary in this case. The important point is that the mind can somehow keep going, at least for a short while, independently of a functioning brain and nervous system. This has major philosophical consequences, as it throws the whole consciousness-as-epiphenomenon theory out of the window.

All of that might be true, but it doesn't answer the question: Why isn't the Migration Assistant time prediction algorithm more accurate?

Part of this might be the fact that the author is (or at least appears to be) using a traditional magnetic HDD, rather than an SSD. I say this because I've transferred many a MacBook Air over Thunderbolt in 40 minutes for smallish amounts of data. The longest time I've seen MA take was 4 hours for a MacBook Air with a 256 GB SSD (don't recall the utilization). A 10 hour transfer time smells of magnetic platters.

The reason HDD vs SSD would impact prediction is that the throughput of an HDD is impacted more severely by a greater number of variables when transferring at the filesystem level than a SSD. Man, that was a mouthful. Stated simply, HDD performance is less predictable than SSD performance.

Given the direction Apple is headed with primary storage, I could see them not investing much in tailoring their estimation algorithm toward a technology that is on the wane.

Could go either way, I reckon. I've got no idea what the relative CPU speeds are, for a start. At some point the newer phone will start to make sense.
Much of the bad is cultural. Americans are impatient with devices, and feel frustration/anger when they don't get instant gratification.

Others are more adaptable, more patient, and content to learn to use the device as it must be used to work correctly.
As a consumer, If you threaten to call me in 30 minutes if I don't respond to the email, you will lose my business. This is, at best, obnoxious advice.
My experience with Varnish was when we tried to use it for something that had relatively complex caching rules. The config/VCL became spaghetti: attaching values to req and restarting the flow. This appeared to be the normal way to write VCL.

We ended up writing our own system, with our own high-concurrent LRU cache, that was more tightly coupled with our application servers (and thus able to figure out what the cache key should be). It ended up being trivial to then add things like ESI, purging, grace and saint mode.

Point being, since then, I've had a hard time seeing where Varnish fits between proxy_cache for simple url+query caching, and rolling your own.
"I will call you in the next 30 minutes or do you want to do this over email?"

It certainly asks for time in the next 30 minutes, but you're free to do it async on a longer timeline.
This is an advert for WeekDone, a piece of status-reporting software. The pithy "fixes" named are rarely going to solve the underlying problem.

For software and product work, the answer is obvious: open allocation. For radically different kinds of work (e.g. factory-floor manufacturing) I'm not so confident; it's not my expertise. But I don't think the OP knows either.

"20% Time" policies don't really work, because if your manager is supportive you don't need them, and if your manager's a jerk, they don't offer real protection.

I agree on open-plan offices, because open-back visibility causes useless, counterproductive stress. The noise is a small issue; being visible from behind fucks with people's fight-or-flight systems. But if you can't afford to have everyone in an office (and, in some jobs, you can't; it would be a disaster on a trading floor) you could probably achieve it with booth-style seating.

Also, no boss wakes up and decides to "micromanage" and few people intentionally schedule "useless meetings". Those things happen and they're really unpleasant, but you can't just say "Don't do that" and expect the behavior to stop.

You need constitutional guarantees, like an Employee Bill of Rights that requires an employee majority to amend it and guarantees certain protections (i.e. any criticism of an employee must be delivered to that person with as small an audience as possible, and he has the right to defend himself; any employee can transfer at any time unless there is an immediate business justification for not allowing him). The problem with "20% time" policies and the "No Asshole Rule" (point #5 about "Negative People") is that they rarely have any real teeth; they just become the new language used to justify business-as-usual.

> I would jump to another job for a 5% pay increase only if I already hated my current job. I would never even think about leaving a job I loved for just a little bit more.

I'm pretty sure they got at this number by asking people if they would leave their job for ~$200 extra a month. That makes the choice far more immediate than 5% extra a year. Everybody can think of things they could do with a few extra hundred a month, and everybody's got things they don't like about their job enough to fantasize about moving over.

If you look back at what you wrote, there's a false dichotomy there. Very few people either love their job or hate it. Most people just don't have strong feelings one way or another about it. That's why 27% would leave over peanuts. One job's as good as another, so why not take the extra cash?
I'm pretty sure they were probably cool and then uncool and then cool again several times before I was born.

Angular is a bad framework, like GWT and JSF before it. Angular is the equivalent of SOAP, needlessly complicated and difficult to reason about.

When copying files there are two costs - fixed per-file cost (of opening/closing a file) and variable cost of bulk copying. If you track both, you can pass the measurements through basic linear regression and get a simple formula -

ETA = A * number-of-file + B * number-of-bytes

This can be further refined to accomodate the cost of file extension for larger file, the overhead of directory creation, etc, but in practice basic two-term model works really well.
