Humorous point of view.

You are welcome to move to a place that permits employees to be abused.

The hardest problem I have is hiring good people: Not taxes.

If a business wants to move to out of the largest economy in the U.S. -- well then it is making an interesting choice that other businesses will take advantage of.

Funny thing is that Rick Perry has been trying oh so hard to get businesses to move to Texas... but if the best employees are in California then that means a business is trading lower taxes for lower quality workers. That too is an interesting choice.
Indeed, the GNU Coding Standards explicitly argues against doing that:

Company lets you decide what device you want, pays the bill and - allows you to use it privately.
I gave my mobile contract to my wife, only use my 'business' phone now. Private calls are explicitly allowed (most calls are free anyway, in this contract). Some common sense is required: Calling a dating line is probably stupid, talking to relatives in somewhere-over-the-sea is out as well. The only 'real' limitation I have is that I should avoid excessive texting (I .. write one sms a month, maybe, anyway. Nothing that concerns me), due to the way the contract works.

So:
- device of my choosing
- only one device on me
- I call my friends and family using said device
Wait, sharing a room??? What the hell?

So you downvoted and flagged him for something he didn't say?

The now-dead comment that seems to have sparked most of this said that cures should be sought from faith and science and that if all else fails, suffering patiently could serve a purpose of building character.

Frankly, if all else fails to bring about a cure, the suffering is a given.

He's suggesting an approach to dealing with unavoidable suffering that might find at least something good out of it. Surely that's worth consideration.
Downtown Oakland is pretty safe. It's still a city, so you should have your wits about you, but it's not bad.
No, I'm afraid to use LibreSSL because the AES implementation wasn't done by Dan Bernstein. The issue is not so much with using algorithm implementations implemented by the algorithm designer as with using algorithm implementations implemented by somebody who knows how to program.

In this particular case, there is the issue that the AES implementation in OpenSSL has been shown in the past to be vulnerable to timing side-channel attacks over the network (again, by Dan Bernstein) and as far as I know has not been through the complete overhaul necessary to fix that problem.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if someone found exploitable side-channel attacks in third-party implementations of Salsa20 or ChaCha in the next few years.
That's a really weird set up. You should hold your cards to your chest then and do interviews secretly by making up excuses.

I'm confused. Granted, the whole article surprised me.

It seems to imply that - up to now - employees were sometimes required to use their own devices for _work_ and for their employer and .. had to pay that out of their own pocket.

Ignoring the bigger fear that you seem to have about California's future, how is this particular case not a direct improvement - and braindead if you think about it. I just assumed this would be the way it works ~everywhere~. Company requires you to use your car/phone/internet connection and .. needs to pay for the use of your car/phone/internet connection.

Wrapping up: Are you seriously unhappy about this particular ruling/article or is your fear a general thing and only tangentially related/merely targeted at the praising comment above you?
Yeah, probably the longest TC article I have ever read.
Maybe he could try the OCZ Neural Impulse Actuator (if they still sell it). I once tried it and after a few weeks' practise it worked quite well. It uses your brainwaves as input and you can bind different waveforms to certain actions, like pressing a button.

This attack will come as a surprise to Apple. In the past, the company has had a bromance with the authorities and have blindly acquiesced when asked to remove apps from the China app store.

Your comment could be read as saying that these slides are self-promotional — that is, that they are intended to puff up the importance of the topics that Bernstein has happened to publish work on. A more charitable and accurate reading is that these slides explain why he believed and still believes that those topics were important to spend time on, and why people should do things differently now. (That explains the lack of emphasis on RC4: everybody already knows RC4 is broken.)
Oh boy, you must have missed Kim-Mai's last major article and one or two of my own :D
My wrist pain is so bad I've had to change profession. Nevertheless, computers are used in every job. At first, ergonomic keyboards and mice were enough. Then any kind of mice was too painful. Then I became fully ambidextrous, writing and using mice with left hand. After I maxed out the pain in that hand, I've moved onto tablets. I find almost no pain typing on a Swype keyboard on my tablet.

I got Samsung Note 12.2 2014 pro because it has a huge screen. If I need to do a small amount of programming, I use Splashtop to accept Swype input into my Windows laptop just across the room.

I play Starcraft 2 quite a bit, and can confidently say that no matter how good your strategy is, it just doesn't work without good execution against any decent player, and by decent I mean anyone above bronze league. This is because not using keyboard shortcuts slows you down by orders of magnitude, and your faster opponent can just brute force his/her way to victory.

Using MMORPG mice with all the extra hotkeys might work rather well though, but I still doubt that it's possible to get into the more serious players' leagues this way though.
Would HSTS have helped in this situation?

HSTS is mainly to prevent SSL-stripping. But I think part of HSTS could also note that the certificate was trusted, and then having an HSTS header could entirely prevent any later connection with the self-signed certificate, without clearing the HSTS history.

You may not need to even store the extra bit, it's enough to say if you have HSTS then by default the connection must not just be encrypted, but it must be trusted.

Do current browsers entirely prevent a connection to untrusted certs when HSTS is set? Or is it just the same error you get when connecting to any self-signed cert?
The 3 Questions All Monopoly-Breakers Should Ask Themselves
but that's not the whole story - a CEO is highly paid, but that's more likely that they've "proven" track-record of doing well in another company, and in order to poach them, a high salary is needed. But, _is_ the CEO responsible for their so-called record? or do they just have really talented employees and the credit for doing well is being rubbed off into the CEO?

Think steven jobs - he is credited with apple's success. May be that's true - he could have ruthless quality requirements. But it couldn't have happened without the engineers that _actually_ created the product. Why is it that the CEO gets exponentially more returns than the soldiers that fight in the trenches, doing the _actual_ work?
Right downtown it's not too dangerous, and there are some good housing options. And downtown is an easy bike ride from Temescal, Rockridge, the Piedmont Avenue area, the Grand Avenue/Lake Merrit area, or Piedmont (city), all of which are reasonably safe places to live (certainly on the same level of "safe" as you'd find in San Francisco -- Piedmont is probably safer, in fact). And all of those destinations are predominantly flat gradients to downtown (well, at least compared to San Francisco hills; it's not Kansas).

San Jose, on the other hand, does suck to get to from the East Bay. Best plan is to avoid going to the South Bay, or to hope that your destination is within striking distance of the Amtrak station. Or to hope that they finally finish the Bart connection. I agree that Caltrain gives you better South Bay access; I'd be tempted to Bart in to Millbrae and transfer to Caltrain if I still lived in the area and didn't feel like driving.

When I lived in the East Bay, I would end up in San Jose only 2-4 times per year, and I'd usually drive. On the other hand, I worked in San Francisco for over three years, and I never drove to the City once during that time; a mix of Bart and ferry trips (depending on where I lived at the time) handled my commute nicely.

There's also a great start-up incubator (or at least there was) in downtown Oakland; a start-up that I joined moved in there for a year or so, and that made for an even easier commute.
NaCl includes portable C implementations of all its operations, but it's possible that they might not be constant-time on a given compiler. SUPERCOP now has ARM assembly implementations of the NaCl operations (contributed by Peter Schwabe), but they haven't been integrated into a NaCl release yet.

Schwabe has even written AVR versions of many of the NaCl operations, so maybe you can do your crypto not only on mobile but on an 8-bit microcontroller.
Hearthstone is great. I think just about any turn-based game out there is well suited for one hand.

It does not help that it is just a small number of cases, as even a small number of cases will have have a chilling effect on free speech.

The "somewhere between UK and US" comment is theoretical and is about what the written law says. The way it is practised is clearly worse than both. You don't have to watch your back when you criticize a politician in the UK, and certainly not when you "like" someone doing that. Even if it was later criticized later on, it did happen, and I would guess it got no consequences for the people that prosecuted the two women.

@smt88 "Seems like it just means it's not solving an urgent-enough pain point."

I think this is your issue, and you are targeting the wrong market.

As i parent i have personally tried a few baby tracking apps. Good in theory, but not really solving a problem (IMHO)

While your app may have a better UI and be simpler than others out there, i think these class of apps all suffer from:

* You have to remember to enter in the information, open the app and capture it. With a newborn, who is quite demanding , having to nurse every 2-3 hours, sleep deprived etc. Just seems to be a bit more work than needed
* What use or benefit do i get from the data? So i can monitor trends? Why?
* Monitoring trends is easy for parents, especially when they are doing are caring for the kid themselves. My wife is at home.,She knows when my son is not nursing enough, or she knows when he has not pooed or has not had enough wet nappies.

You are currently marketing this at "Parents" in general, maybe if you target it Parents who have their kids in Daycare (i.e Remotely keep track of whats going on with your kids) it would be an easier sell.

I know i would want this data if my kids were in daycare.
Random sleeps, as you say, have the problem that they don't eliminate the timing side channel, but just add noise to it. However, as robryk points out below, you can eliminate the timing side channel entirely, assuming you know what it is, by sleeping until a predetermined point. In pdkl95's example, you could sleep until 1.1 seconds after the cryptographic operation was initiated, then sending your response. The predetermined point could be determined randomly as long as the random number generator is constrained not to return a point that's so early that the crypto might still be running. But randomness does not help in this case.

I recently moved to the East Bay from Los Angeles - I gave up on even trying to find a place to live in SF. I'm paying 2X the rent I had in Silver Lake (which is a relatively expensive part of LA) and competition was so tough I had to go to over 10 open houses just to find something decent a landlord would rent to me. Even the East Bay is pretty insane right now.

This is exactly what 'english script' is created for:

Yeah, we used Django-nonrel and Djangoappengine for a long time, and Djangae is heavily inspired by it. However the advantage that Djangae has is that it works with normal Django - it doesn't require a patched fork like djangoappengine.

As for performance, it depends what you are doing. Obviously the datastore is non-relational so it scales much better with a lot of data, and you don't have to deal with things like migrations or connection limits. But then you can't do complex queries and aggregates etc. the good thing about using Djangae is you can make use of Django's multiple database connections to store your data in whichever form makes sense (datastore or CloudSQL).

Top Tech News You Need to Know: Whisper, the F.B.I. And More
Because...everyone else sucks badly. If China's 7.3% gdp growth is defined as slow and worrisome, what words would you pick for the situation in other places, such as Europe?

However, it definitely has its own big problem, and if without proper handling, it will become a global scale crisis. Yes, we are talking about the housing bubble and a quickly aging population. At last, IMO, it is likely China is going to be yet another Japan, just bigger.
Why should it be downvoted?
There are many benefits, depending on your situation. If your website is expected to get a high QPS, or you have a lot of data (e.g. millions of rows) then using the datastore can be much more suitable (you don't have to deal with schema migrations or connection limits etc.)

You, of course, have to put much more thought into the model design on the datastore and your design should play to the strengths of a non-relational store but once you have that right your site will seamlessly scale.

But CloudSQL is also more suitable in many situations, there are no aggregates or joins on the datastore. You need to to pick and choose the right technology for what you are doing.

Djangae is awesome here, because you use a consistent API for both CloudSQL and the Datastore, which makes switching between the two much easier.

Are you sure you properly understand what "hacker" means in this context? I think it's fair to say that some people in the grey to black spectrum also attend the CCC, but overall, yes, people there are genuinely committed to free expression (by everybody, most importantly of course by innocent people). They are using the word "hacker" in the original sense of the word (tinkering with technology etc.)

What you're saying is like the false claim that Tor is only used by criminals - when in reality, it is used by all sorts of people, including law enforcement themselves!
for FPS, I'd be interested if you could recreate the WSAD setup for moving with foot pedals? Your feet can be quite dexterious, just most of us never use them for more than walking. I'm thinking something like using the whole foot to control the buttons, not toes. Something sort of like how a kick drum works maybe, but with two degrees of freedom for the heel and toe?

edit: I mean, hell, dance dance revolution sort of does that already and the savants that play that can do crazy speed with their feet.

There was a girl at my school a couple of years above me who was born with no arms. She could write reasonably well, feed herself, etc. via her feet by using her toes like fingers. I was always impressed with just how able she was. She ended up getting her drivers license and everything with a steering wheel that she can use with her feet.
Ok, I didn't.

1.6 is supported in the alpha, we're aiming for 1.7 support before beta. From that point on we intend to support the two most recent stable Django releases.

We structured the Djangae database connector to be as de-coupled from Django as possible (everything happens at the cursor level) so hopefully keeping up with Django releases should be fairly easy (hopefully!).

Well, what I'd really want is something more flexible, where you can use inheritance (errors are one of the few areas where inheritance is actually useful - this lets you say that "FileNotFoundError" is a kind of "IOError", add "DimensionGateConnectionError" in the same hierarchy without tweaking any code, and test if the the IOError you got is because you didn't manage to open the dimensional gate. And on top of this, I'd also like this to compose without problems, I'm not interested in creating IOOrFormatError because there is a function which may throw IOError or FormatError. It's a problem that sum types really don't tackle well. As for type classes, it's also not ideal. You can't capture all the necessary information in the interface you expose (IOError doesn't need a filePath field, but FileNotFoundError, which is a kind of IOError does).
