That's why it's such a shame the Obama administration especially (but probably the previous admins, too) fight to hard to protect the criminals in the government, instead of punishing them. That just sends a message that they can keep doing this sort of stuff, and nothing will happen to them.

I'm not going to look for it now, but I remember a speech from Obama in relation to torture and he was basically saying that "he has the CIA's back," if the media or whoever tries to get those people responsible punished for it. It was from a few years ago, in this first term.
As someone who has

* used libvirt and the various tools you mentioned for managing VMs
* used the libvirt API to help write vagrant-libvirt [0]

I feel that libvirt is a useful (albeit quirky) building block but not something you want to interact with directly. Those tools you mentioned aren't ones I'd generally recommend using. You want to have tools with a higher-level of abstraction that can bring in more functionality that is available in just libvirt and provide better interfaces on top of that combination. There's a reason the OpenStack project created Nova, Glance, Neutron, etc.

I would also be very interested in how this kind of a breakdown occurs. It is not uncommon I have to store arbitrary structure, and if there is a better way than a blob, which can be abstracted away by an app, that would be quite useful on its own, without the MongoDB protocol.

For most schools its around 3,000-4,500 a semester for about 12-18 hours. Community college cost a little bit less but not by much (GaTech, Kennesaw State, Ga State, Ga Perimeter College)

Our largest school, University of Georgia, its a bit more. Something like $10,000 a semester but the tuition is the same at each school the fees are much higher at UGA.

The Bible, since 0.
The FAQ (http://www.mcx.com/blog/answers-to-your-questions/) has a very evasive answer to the question "Does MCX Require its Merchants to Only Offer CurrentC?":

"MCX merchants make their own decisions about what solutions they want to bring to their customers; the choice is theirs. When merchants choose to work with MCX, they choose to do so exclusively and we’re proud of the long list of merchants who have partnered with us. Importantly, if a merchant decides to stop working with MCX, there are no fines." (emphasis mine)

The important part here, that they've clearly buried, is that yes, if you go MCX, you have to go all the way. While merchants can choose whether to use MCX or not, they cannot choose to use MCX and NFC. Any implication that they can is absolutely false.
No, they can't. This is an incendiary set of facts - but most certainly won't be upheld in any reasonable court.
All DRM is evil. If I meet any resistance through legitimate routes, I'll turn to piracy in a heartbeat. The digital media industry needs to get their shit together.
Interesting merchant terminal -- but it seems to be little more than a pretty rendering and physical mock-up right now.

I like how the first guy puts his card in, takes it out AND THEN punches in his PIN, which is exactly how PIN & Chip doesn't work. I would have hoped they'd at least be familiar with the process.

It looks to me like a mobile computer strapped to a terminal. I'm not sure why this is better than having a terminal + iPad or something similar but I'm not the target demographic.

I see many other issues with it:

- Hardware development is hard and long. This looks to be little more than a physical mock-up. For example datasheet lists "Ethernet" is connectivity options but there is no ethernet port visible on the body.

- BLE & GSM antennas are exactly where you wouldn't put either of those. Here is tip: You can't put an antenna behind an LCD. They have metal backings.

- Shouldn't QR & Barcode Scanner be pointing UP? You have very limited field of view when it is pointing down.

- Getting EMV and FIPS certified are going to take a long long time. Granted they could buy that firmware off the shelf to accelerate the process.
I was pleasantly surprised to read[0] that Minerva is doing quite a bit more than just taking the MOOC concept and charging for it, e.g.:

"He split us into groups to defend opposite propositions—that the cod had disappeared because of overfishing, or that other factors were to blame. No one needed to shuffle seats; Bonabeau just pushed a button, and the students in the other group vanished from my screen, leaving my three fellow debaters and me to plan, using a shared bulletin board on which we could record our ideas. Bonabeau bounced between the two groups to offer advice as we worked."

More like that at the link. So despite being online, it sounds like Minerva's trying to increase, not decrease, the amount of educator/student interaction involved.

There is no such thing as a wrong problem. It is a subjective decision
Depends on the definition of calculus. Without the fundamental theorem (which absolutely requires differentiation), explicitly calculating those areas is unreasonably hard (undoable in all but the simplest cases, and in the cases where it is doable, you usually have to be Archimedes to do it). Sure, you could start the course with numerical integration, but this really wouldn't help anything else.

(You might be interested, though, to know that your suggestion is essentially how higher math is sometimes done. The natural logarithm function is defined by ln(x)=int_1^x(1/x)dx, which if you look closely doesn't involve exponentials in any way, allowing you to non-circularly define the exponential function as the inverse of the logarithm function, and once you've got the exponential function, the game is on)

This is a big problem I've noticed with startups. Stupid web vulns are EVERYWHERE.

I've reported so many serious web vulnerabilities to startups it isn't even funny (4-5 S14 YC batch alone). Account hijacks, XSS, SQLi. Everywhere.

If you are starting a startup (or writing any web software software), PLEASE read OWASP to at least get an idea of what types of issues can exist in Web Applications. Their top 10 is a good place to start (https://www.owasp.org/index.php/Top_10_2013-Top_10)
I would be surprised if ToroDB implemented the oplog which Meteor uses for efficient live-updating, but I guess it _should_ work with the polling mode.

SQL support (i.e. direct Postgres support) is on the Meteor roadmap for post-1.0.
I almost thought "Wow, someone finally starts building Apple-level PCs". But the machine still only runs Windows. To a certain crowd of IT profrssionals, Apple has raised the standard to "I need both quality gear and the unix experience (including the command line but not only)".

Is a university really an appropriate place to send someone who couldn't keep up with high school coursework, whatever the reason, in the first place? At the very least, wouldn't we need some kind of preparatory education in between? There may be exceptions but I think it'd be hard for universities to evaluate if they are academically qualified.

As an aside, I know of several states that have similar programs - I'd thought that in many states, so long as you scored sufficiently high on the SAT or ACT, you were eligible to automatically get a partial (if lower) or full (if higher) scholarship to in-state public institutions.

The tricky bit is that MCX is owned by the merchants. It's not like some third-party payment processor. So if you pay for a share of MCX, it's not going to be something you want to walk away from.

CurrentC will not fail because of this, they will fail because they use QR codes. An old lady could probably write a check faster than most people can scan a QR code.
While I totally agree this is important to know, CurrentC isn't a startup, it's a new program from an established company. These guys have made themselves a target, and it is very likely that no amount of good security would leave them totally invulnerable. The community's desire to make CurrentC look foolish is very high.
If you have a contributor assignment, the assignee can choose to release the changes under a proprietary license.
You sure thinned the ranks of 'anyone' quickly. Even legal residents of the USA from abroad face barriers because most other countries don't employ the US's grade point averaging system, but employ matriculation instead. If I hadn't lived here so long I wouldn't even know what a '3.0' referred to.
Perhaps it's a new feature where everyone can mine user's information.
With a copyright assignment, the authors could take the entire project closed-source for future versions. You'd still be able to use older, AGPL-licensed versions, but perhaps not newer versions.

For programs like this, I see little benefit of AGPL over GPL, since the main use-case will be in-house deployments. I can't see how anyone would deploy something like this on the backend, where if you made an in house-fork with bug fixes to support your proprietary infrastructure, you'd have to publish the patches for the wider community. It seems like a big red flag to me.
AGPL means that if you modify VirtKick itself, you have to contribute these modifications back to the project. GPL does not enforce this for software run on a back end.

I would go through the recruiter simply because it's going to be a warm lead, vs having to go through submitting my resume through email/online.

Also, if you use the relationship right, recruiters will do a lot of the upfront work for you.

If the ara project is really, "a device running over an internal network, rather than just everything being connected to a CPU," then it would be a great platform for that vision. Presumably, an easy extension would be another device with its own power supply hooking into the network.

Bear in mind that most of the Anonabox scrutiny came from Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/privacy/comments/2j9caq/anonabox_to...
What one regards as a feature, other regard as misfeatures. If you like virt-manager, then VirtKick isn't really for you. We value a simple UI more than virt-manager, and REST API more than virsh. We don't say your way is wrong. It's just more difficult.

Existing libvirt clients, at least those that we know of, aren't super reliable though. libvirt stucks when there's too much happening on the HV, or denies jobs without even trying (e.g. when a pool has async jobs). A backend that schedules tasks for background execution is needed for that (and we have it), so even now we're not "just" a frontend for libvirt.

The use case is a very simple panel with zero virt knowledge needed to start.

Thanks for your comment.
Got downvoted for this...

I honestly value DO for the service of providing VMs, and I don't care to run my private VMs. We also have dedicated servers, which run docker directly.
You can go to a community college for two years and then transfer to a four-year university, which will generally save substantial amounts of money.
Ara is doomed to failure. Normal phones are designed with one concept in mind, an overall integrated product. In the case of Ara there are loads of inefficiencies and wasted spaces. A normal phone has one big battery cell and a case that protect it. For Ara if you want to add two battery units they are smaller in total than one big one because of the doubling up of matter needed for structural integrity. There are enough manufacturers in the industry to cater for individual preferences but thinking that one adaptable phone design is the best way to cater for everyone is misguided. People generally don't even upgrade the CPU in their desktop machine, the thought that they are going to do so in their smartphone is idiotic.
To prevent DLL Hell, in other words.

Again, not a problem on Linux because Linux keeps numbered versions of .so files.

So it's not that Windows has to restart after replacing a file that is in use. It's just that it would rather not deal with the complexity that results if it doesn't.

In other words, "we didn't want to bother with versioning DLLs."

I'd like to pick on the point that Founders and Engineers are as guilty as Recruiters in terms of sending boiler plate messages.Recruiter: 53%, Founder: 49%, Engineer: 47%.

A recruiter's _only_ job is to recruit talented people. A founder/engineer has other things to do. Yes they should be spending a significant portion of their time recruiting. How realistic is that expectation though?

Also, how do the %s above add to 100 unless there is a significant overlap between Engineers and Founders?

Facebook $22B WhatsApp Deal Buys $10M in Sales
I'm a little put off by some of the wording here. In talking with Ben and JK early on they were really against Stanford and Harvard's "no better than chance" acceptance rate and wanted to build a system where anyone smart enough to get in should be able to learn at Minerva. Their idea of online learning was that it should enable higher bandwidth, not less.

Then Wired writes this: "...it’s highly exclusive, boasting a 2.8 percent acceptance rate, which is lower than even Harvard or Stanford."

It's entirely possible that Wired printed that line without Minerva's blessing and that Minerva's acceptance rate at the moment is simply a consequence of their very small trial class (which is a great idea, not trying to knock their approach).

I'd be really bummed to see Minerva changing their vision and trying to be more exclusive than inclusive. I'm just hoping it's a slip of the tongue on an editor's part and not a reflection of where Ben && company want to go with Minerva.
> In many (not all) cases the recruiter's fee subtracts from your own salary negotiations.

Do you have evidence of that?

Anecdotally that has not been my experience. While recruitment fees are taken into consideration, between choosing a locally sourced vs 3rd party source candidate, it has had no bearing on salaries.
Agreed about the conventional wisdom. Unfortunately, I think many companies aren't 'doing it right' and end up with somewhat bloated systems. From what I'm hearing, most companies roll their own solution to that problem and don't use any specific tools to address it. I'm seen some rudimentary statistics in Sauce Labs, as well as built into Jenkins.
Considering that 2 out of the 4 largest schools here have more African Americans than any group, I would say it sounds great.
I totally agree, and that's not the issue at stake. The issue is: what should we do while people are not educated enough to make an informed decision?

Mozilla, Google (and some people in this thread) assume that it's right for them to decide if there are privacy concerns and advance with their initiatives. I don't. And they are, by marking this as opt-in, thinking for them.
Yes, these are common metaphors. They do not describe the actual perceptual experience of the passage of time. To get hung up on what metaphors people use to describe something utterly intangible is silly.

This is so fucking crooked that only the government could make an argument that its legal.
> you're arguing that there's a clearly defined category of broadcasted signals that can be clearly defined as public;

This is another strawman.

I'm not arguing for a particular clear-cut definition of "public" and "private" at all. I'm arguing that the distinction public and private can be made for some forms of communication, and that a radio broadcast to your neighborhood means it is public, and encrypting your traffic means it is private. In addition to that there is also a greyer area like unencrypted traffic over a wire, that should mostly be considered private from an ethical perspective.

I agree that most people don't really know what they're doing, and I agree that it is problem. I also think that most people don't really care, and considering no information is contained in most SSIDs rightly so. Lastly I think that education is important for this, not regulation (legislative or internal) for the collecting companies or individuals. But all of that is not what I was arguing against.
