Thank you very much! I am quite surprised because I remember fixing this issue in the same day patch became available and I run update recently. Upgrading the distro, hopefully it fixes the problem.
Iterable (https://www.iterable.com) - San Francisco, CA
Come join Iterable. We are bringing the growth hacking tools that consumer Internet companies like Twitter/Facebook build internally to other e-businesses. We aim to build the best user growth engine on the planet. It's crazy how messaging and email usage are changing, but the technology and capabilities haven't caught up to the 21st century.

Our team of hackers and thinkers is from quant finance/Twitter/Google, (we built large parts of Twitter's growth systems). One of our top level goals is to build a uniquely fun and growth oriented company culture.
Knowledge sharing in any capacity is highly valued here -- are you interested in prediction markets or PGP encryption? Do you enjoy teaching posture techniques or purely functional data structures to others? We pair program, design together, and generally create a learn-and-teach environment here.

If you're interested in coming on board, you can help with some challenges we face:

- Scale our messaging API
- Design and write performant, beautiful, asynchronous interfaces
- Write software to build machine learned user models
- Make data visualizations for our email and user data
- Design an immutable deployment infrastructure for our platform

Some aspects of our culture that make us different:

- We are all very focused on self improvement
- Our company has egalitarian and transparent values (work when you want, on what you want)
- We are chill and empathetic people
- The company is completely transparent

Technologies you'll work with:

- Scala
- ElasticSearch
- Postgres
- Redis
- AngularJS
- Play Framework
- RabbitMQ

You'll get to work with us at our office at 5th and Market in San Francisco. If this sounds like an interesting and fun opportunity for you, please email me: girish at iterable.com

I should have said: you need permit before asking for donations (corrected in GP). As I said, if my projects were listed on this site, I could face criminal charges, regardless whether any money ever changes hands.
1.2 That's just, like, your opinion man. It's a reasonable position but it's not one where there's a community consensus and does not belong in a best practices guide.

2.4 No, you missed my point. Useless traits like the one in your example can be reasonable in the context of a library that needs to be able to evolve while maintaining backwards compatibility. And I think this distinction is worth drawing explicitly, because otherwise people will default to doing the "safe" thing everywhere, like they did with JavaBean getters/setters (which are a sensible if tedious thing for Java libraries to use, but pure wastefulness in application code).

2.5 Honestly if you're working with JVM libraries, you're already working with a lot of code that violates that "fundamental rule". And if you're not working with JVM libraries, why would you bother using Scala rather than Haskell? :P.

4.2/actors with no mutable state: It's a guideline that has plenty of false negatives - it doesn't capture all the cases where someone writes an Actor that ought to just be a Future or similar - but I don't think it has many false positives, and it's just such a common mistake that for me it's worth sharing explicitly.

5.2 I'm prepared to be convinced, but what you've written there doesn't convince me. I don't see any difference between the two examples in terms of being "pure, immutable or referentially transparent", and to my eyes the accidental complexity of "become" (a new concept) is higher than that of ordinary mutable variables. Telling me that that way is "the Erlang way" or to "just wait until you'll have to model a state machine with 10 states in it and dozens of possible transitions and effects to go along with it" sounds like bluster, tbh. Maybe it just needs better examples.
NYT article comparing Boston post-rent-control and New York City: http://www.nytimes.com/2003/06/15/nyregion/when-rent-control...

One of the big complaints about "increasing rents" is more of the matter that low-income rental stock is almost never built, whereas luxury apartments are built constantly (though they have to provide a number of low-income units that are the same quality as everything else in the building). The low-income stock still exists, it's just the most sought after rental stock in the Boston market.
Overloading productive open source devs with spam and administrative bullshit is parasitic. (Allegedly) collecting money after a project has told them to stop is parasitic at best.
But you did not participate unless you define participate as having your name show up in some database. For your other examples, yes, you can of course become suspect and get some trouble if somebody wants to, but still someone has to prove that you are actually responsible. I meant it in the sense of getting fined, arrested or whatnot, not in the sense of costing you time which may of course not be negligible in serious cases.

They mean the overall project the individual contributor was contributing to I believe. But, what happens if the overall project isn't participating? Does tip4commit keep it?

I also wonder if tip4commit has looked into whether there is a legal requirement for them to escheat the funds to the state to hold for the individual if the individual doesn't claim it.
Yeah, it's a lot, but it's low enough that I wouldn't expect taxation to be a primary issue in the policy debate over marijuana.
Bounty Source makes it pretty clear the bounties aren't from the project maintainers, and bounties aren't collected or solicited as if they are from or for the project maintainers..
Please send donations for the Django project directly to me. Once the donations accumulate to more than $3000, I will email the Django developers, requesting that they come get the donations.

<whisper>And if the Django project doesn't come get the donations within 30 days, we don't tell you what happens to the donations. What happens to the money, if its not claimed, may (or may not) go against the wishes of yourself or the Django developers (that we're collecting money on behalf of, without permission). Also, sending these donations exposes the developers to serious legal consequences.</whisper>
Because they have been doing it before.

Recently an exhibition called "Beer and Whiskey expo" was under threat due to it's name. Mention of Whiskey can be said to be an advertisement of strong alcohol. So they changed the name and it become just the Beer expo. After that they were informed that they will be denied permits unless individual bloggers with no connection to them would also remove mentions of Whiskey in their posts about the expo.

In the end the individual bloggers removed the mentions to allow the exhibition to continue. Short description of what happened https://thriftyfinn.wordpress.com/2014/10/11/the-grand-whisk... for those who don't speak Finnish.

So yeah. Actions of individuals whom you have no connection with can count against you here. Especially if the regulators think that you might be benefiting of them in some way, thus basically trying to cheat the system.

Remember this. Not every country follows the "innocent until proven guilty" principle.

Our vision is to make circling the block for parking a thing of the past.

Location: USA

Remote: No

Willing to relocate: Yes

Technologies: Embedded reverse engineering. (Currently work on baseband security) ARM/MIPS/PPC,C, etc. DEF CON CTF experience, that sort of skill-set.

Résumé/CV: Contact

Email: rhexs@outlook.com

I've been reverse engineering embedded things for many years now, professionally and as a hobby. I'm rather talented at (quickly) understanding large systems and finding unique ways to break them. Unfortunately my experience in X86 is super outdated and I haven't done much web vulnerability analysis. (Some, but just low hanging fruit. :)) That seems to drastically limit jobs available.

I have absolutely no desire to go out east coast and work for the government/defense contractors. Did that for a couple years, not very rewarding.

Probably will end up going back to embedded systems development as embedded security jobs don't seem to exist yet, but hey, if anyone has anything interesting (or even advice!), I'd love to hear from you.

I'm guessing the best thing I can do right now is start a blog and apply my skills for free. That might drum up some interest if I can ever find the time.
"scores of established corporations choosing to accept Bitcoin"

What percentage of these established corporations "accept" bitcoin through VC-funded startups (which are gambling on the possibility of rising bitcoin value), receiving dollars and never actually holding a bitcoin?
The Top Mistakes Women Make in Relationships
It's been a long time since I was a law student. However, as I recall the rules of trusts in common law countries (assuming this thing is covered by those rules):

1. If you take a donation from A on behalf of B, you are now a trustee. That means you're bound by fiduciary duty, which is a very strict standard of behaviour[1].

2. If you can't find B, or if B refuses to accept the donation, you must return it to A. It cannot be repurposed for other beneficiaries.

3. If you repurpose the funds for yourself, you have breached fiduciary duty and are legally in deep, deep shit.

The exceptions are, of course, if you explicitly formed a trust with explicit terms allowing you to select other beneficiaries.

Of course, the laws vary according to jurisdiction. Trusts caselaw has evolved slightly differently in different common law countries. And legislatures are typically suspicious of trusts because they get used a lot to reduce tax burdens, so there tends to be a lot of local tinkering with the trusts laws.

I am not a lawyer, this is not legal advice.

It depends on the country, in Canada you can certainly report them to the CRTC as breaking the law (CASL).
http://www.crtc.gc.ca/eng/casl-lcap.htm

Emailing someone in Canada now requires consent (various legal ways) or close personal relationship. It doesn't cost anything to report them https://services.crtc.gc.ca/pub/rapidsccm/Default-Defaut.asp... .
But if you really wanted to pursue them, you would have to hire a lawyer, a complaint doesn't have the same weight or speed of a legal filing.

This just goes to show you has clueless the developers are with regards to international policy and law.

The only reason HNers are pulling out the DMCA is because another project is (unethically or not) using their names to raise funds in a way that they do not permit. That has nothing to do with bitcoin.

Like it or not, the pseudonymous (not anonymous) nature of bitcoin will always attract a high level of illegal and unethical activity. Many people will then use those activities, stories, and experiences to paint bitcoin as a whole. The same holds true for Tor, 4chan, reddit, the internet itself, etc.
London UK - Osper - http://osper.com

We provide a real prepaid debit card for young people, aged 8 - 18, so they can make independent decisions with money: online, in shops, at cash machines, and abroad. Thousands of kids have already signed up to our service.

But we not only help young people buy Legos and save for bicycles - we are building an awesome technology team that eliminates legacy code, keeps the bug rate tiny, and stays small and joyful. We are doing this by adopting techniques like pair programming, test-driven development, continuous deployment, and microservices. You can read more about our plan to be awesome on our blog http://tech.osper.io.

We want to meet and work with smart technical folks of all varieties - from sysadmins to server-side devs, testers to mobile coders, data crunchers to security analysts.

We are willing to arrange relocation to London for the right candidates. Sorry, we're not ready to take on remote team members yet.
> What percentage of these established corporations "accept" bitcoin through VC-funded startups, receiving dollars and never actually holding a bitcoin?

Basically all of them. No established company wants the associated risk to actually hold bitcoin.
> [nginx] uses custom memory allocators (for performance reasons) and it is wrapping or replacing standard C library functions all over the place. This could eliminate some of our built-in security mechanisms.

Isn't this what made most of OpenSSL bugs possible and made them go unnoticed for a long time?
OK? I agree with you. I never claimed they were holding it. Lots of Bitcoin-accepting businesses don't hold Bitcoin, and instead use it as a payment processor.

I don't see the problem with it. They still accept Bitcoin, no scare quotes needed.
This is either incredibly pedantic, or incredibly ignorant. While you can not be directly harmed merely by the speech itself, you can certainly be indirectly harmed by it's continued wide public dissemination, on the basis of others reactions to it.

> and you certainly can't be harmed by a piano review. The EU has ruled wrong in this case.

The EU has not ruled that you can get a piano review removed.

Who cares? It's no different to accepting Euros but getting dollars in your bank account. The point is that they allow users to spend bitcoins (or Euros).
I wonder if Drupal will ever recover after this incident.

I haven't used Drupal because the job postings usually advertise super low wages and I think I saw the code base and was totally freaked by how messy the modules and things were.

I won't even consider building something with Drupal unless it was secure but I'm sure this makes sense only in hindsight.
That's what Bitcoin will inevitably lead to.

You have basically unregulated money exchange that prides itself with having no rules and "winner takes all".

And then you are surprised that way more scammers, illegitimate users and shady characters in general are using it and representing it.

Well guess what, it's what you signed up for. It's like people are surprised that Tor hidden websites are used by scammers, child porn users, drug stores, gun marketplaces. What did you expect?
This can be all sorts of fun in Objective-C, which for historical reasons has a commonly-used BOOL type which is an eight-bit integer. You're supposed to only store 0 and 1 in it and pretend the other possible values don't exist. Every so often I see some code that uses 2 as well. Once I saw some code, written far too late at night, which used a BOOL as a counter.
