Because terrorists will actually care about their privacy / secrecy while they're bombing. The main issue IMO is that full camera coverage does nothing against terrorism - in fact, it's the success of terrorism, because the people (= the lawmakers, government) are scared into placing cameras everywhere.

What I'm saying is, no matter how many cameras you install, a random guy with a backpack full of explosives or poison gas or whatever won't be detected by it.
Well, I'm getting a 404 when trying to download. I'm guessing the new toolset doesn't help with this?
Self-tightening nut that provides tight fastening with a unique screw thread
We never write changes to disk, the code is trivial really. And it always launches from a locked snapshot.

What we are always trying to optimize is the time to the user screen. That is really the expensive part, once the disk reads happen we want a working session on the users screen as quick as we can get it. Or that is the plan anyway. :)
404 for me as well.

Update: The link for Download at the bottom of the page worked for me.

I have had a bad experience with the OVH abuse department. I sent them email twice (once about spam, once about network attacks) and never received anything, not even an automated email delivery confirmation.
>Even better if it targeted a domain-specific, stripped-down, locked-down Linux distro that could be netbooted by thin clients around the practice and deployed in a high-availability setup inside the firewall.

"This looks great, but my staff only knows about how to use Windows computers; I'll have to retrain them to use these strange new Lee-nuks things. Can't you just make this run in a little box like on the other guys' systems, so I can keep my Windows PC workstations? I'd like that because our time-clock software is only available for Windows and that will save us having to keep two CPUs and screens on the desks."

That you're not saying "the passwords and other details mentioned in the email are bullshit" is concerning.
Emacs' Org Mode gets you hooked once you get used to it :-)

For example it can track the time it takes to work on a task and it can easily hide/show descriptions. So it goes beyond simple text editing. Of course, I believe it has been ported to other text editors. At least I know there is a port for Sublime Text, but it's incomplete and much less capable. Vim probably has a port too, but then if you end up customizing Vim, you might want to take a look at Emacs :-)

CTags is a pain, since you have to reindex your files periodically and it doesn't work well for other people's libraries. In IntelliJ IDEA it simply works, you can just click on a class / function definition and if it doesn't have the sources available for that JAR (say it's a library you depend on), it downloads those sources automatically and takes you to the definition. For Emacs it works if you have the right plugin installed - works for Clojure and for Scala / Java for example (though for Scala / Java, we are talking about an Eclipse-based engine running in the background :))

I do get the mentality of Vim users, I've been there and I even use Vim sometimes, but depending on the problems you're working on and the platform you're using, I lean towards the IDE approach nowadays. And Emacs is like a general purpose and non-bloated IDE.
> which you know they can completely control remotely

That's the problem though -- people don't know it's remotely controlled, so they didn't expect this. When you think of it, there is very little to remove the notion that a Music app is not just a glorified mp3 player because the whole system is different.

"That story" was not debunked, as you can confirm for yourself even by reading the Snopes article.

"Use your brain" is not an argument. Please see my above comment. Since Thompson has now personally admitted to working with others at CDC to suppress the science on this for 10 years, citing the lack of government publications would be circular logic... rright?

despite it's arguable that we are giving up freedom with more CCTV, but it scary what will happen if (when) Google Glasses will be more popular.
I would imagine that there is a catalogue of images, and the location pointed to stored for each image. You could manually tag 100 photographs quite quickly I'd imagine.

For a small number of photos (up to a few thousand), a linear search (i.e. check against each one) would be quick enough. You could compare the distance of the pointed spot to the cursor (using Euclidean distance), pick the best one, maybe add in a random factor.

EDIT: Somehow the author is putting Voronoi diagrams into use. Take a look at the source.

I think the idea is Nightly/Aurora/Beta builds aren't just for Firefox Developers but Web Developers too and it would be beneficial if more web developers used this branch for development.

Of course, don't forget to test in stable.

Another thing I can think of is rather than prefixing CSS/JS, experimental features could always be enabled in the developer builds and it then kicks into life on stable when it's ready for the general public. Right now you need to change various flags for that to happen.
The pi is wonderful for tinkering. But i'm finding it too slow to do most things I want it to do. The beaglebone black is good but I just hate the micro hdmi port.. I wish they put a reg HDMI port on it.
My guess is someone manually entered all the coordinates and directions, and the algorithm finds the best match of direction and distance.

Arrived slightly later and not known who the perpetrator was or have admissible evidence to that effect. The guy had already run away onto another street - it's likely he wouldn't have been caught.

It also very much changed the officer handling us behaviour I would imagine, as usually in such brawls they detain everyone then get he said/she said stories. Instead he knew the guy had run across the street after we hadn't even acknowledged him, so knew my friend was the "victim".
Sorry It was nice and made nice points but it seems like you just want to advertise your own business by offering to rewrite CV's and a link to your site.
Speaking as a hiring manager this feels perfectly reasonable so I'd be interested to know why people might think it isn't.

I write a job spec which lists what we're looking for which is advertised and passed to recruiters - if you're interested in the job you've almost certainly seen that.

Assuming you do have the experience, using the spec you should be able to tweak your CV in about 5 minutes to highlight the key things we're looking for. If you do that, you've cleared this (very low) bar with a very small time investment and it's not a problem. If your CV makes it past the recruiter (or HR department or other non-technical screener) I then know that the CV I'm looking at is worth my time and the following interview is more focused as I know a bit more about what you've done where.

Yes you are having to spend time but, as I say, this should be a very short tweak to your existing CV so it doesn't feel like a big ask given that I'm going to spend longer than that reading it (and hopefully interviewing you about it).

Obviously if there is no job spec then this doesn't work so well but there's usually something, even if it's just stuff you've gleaned from the advert or conversations with the person you learned about the role from.

As an aside, please don't ever try to get round the keyword thing by listing everything you've done or used. I had a CV the other week which listed 43 skills, tools and technologies for one nine month role. From that I have no way of knowing what you used in passing and what you really know - you've provided so much information it just became noise. My rule when I'm working out what to put - if you put it on your CV you'd better feel happy answering (proper) questions about it and I don't believe that you passed that threshold with 43 things in a nine month period.
I think this is not a great line of thought. Sometimes root causes are being ignored and dealing with symptoms is stupid.

At the same time, all problems are never solved. Crime exists and it demands a response from police and courts. It's very "let them eat cake" to suggest that crime in Soho next friday be addressed by dealing with drinking culture and making sure no one is allowed to leave Manchester.

We can do both at the same time, but we can't not respond to a bottle attack with police.
I toured the council CCTV office where I live, and was impressed by the fact (well, claim) that it was operated by council employees, not police officers (seemed true), and that the police could ask them to look out for things or for footage, but any kind of operational use by the police required high-level authorisation (the reverse wasn't true; as the parent indicates, the CCTV operators can and do alert the police to crimes and direct them to the perpetrators.)

That reassured me it couldn't at that point be used as a dragnet. Obviously there is a slippery slope issue involved though (the article claims congestion charge ANPR cameras are being used by the police indiscriminately because "terrorism"), so I'm not sure if I'm totally happy with it.
They wouldn't even hand out a Yosemite beta before the release date. They had one, but they wouldn't give it out.
All of the things that you discuss have in fact happened, albeit slowly. It all happens at the state level, because our system is designed to really have no national office beyond the presidency.

Look at mid-20th century politics. The democratic party had a liberal, labor/machine, and southern machine wings. The Republicans were half western libertarian, part monocle-polishing "business". The southern democrats flipped republican after being frustrated by civil rights reforms, and basically took over the republican party.

At the state level, there are often more parties or more evolution within the big parties. For example, New York has a bunch of minor parties that represent sub-groups. These parties don't elect anyone, but can drive votes and the agenda.
I'd love to hear some more ideas. I was going to email you but I didn't see an email listed? Would you drop me an email?

Just wait till all police officers are cameras, we will come to the day where they will be able to record the entire shift, whether they are on patrol, on break, or actually in the process of arrest.

Considering how heavily license plate scanners are deployed with inconsistent protection of privacy there should be work done at a national level to regulate the gathering and retention of the data.

I don't have all these different kinds of clothing. (And no I don't want to own them either).

Am I the only one who thinks this game should be played the other way around?

If a company needs my services, they should impress me. I am not a model and I am sure as hell not a wage slave. I don't do CVs, and I sure as hell don't talk to HR. I am performing a necessary duty, if I can fill my role then my other traits will be catered for.

From my experience some basic self respect ensures you only end up with good jobs. The positions you have to bend for are not worth bending for imho.
Patience, friends.
Try living in a medium size city in the Philippines.

There are neighborhood stores here all over the place and they don't charge much more than you would have to pay by buying in bulk at a larger store. When I'm not shopping at a neighborhood store, I go to the local market. Each of these places are very bland. Basically just a bamboo or concrete house with the products hanging or stacked up in shelves. Often you just order through a barred window and they give you what you ask for. After shopping like this for months, walking into a regular grocery store is an assault on the senses. Packaging, marketing and colors everywhere. Things at the smaller stores are also really cheap because the locals have to be able to afford them. At the larger grocery stores I'm floored by the prices of everything. I avoid grocery stores as much as possible.

The selection of products here is slim. I can spend all day looking around different stores and not find one thing on my wishlist. Otherwise I find nothing interesting. Many products are cheap and low quality because expensive items don't sell. I'm happy living here and I have the things I really need.

Happy + have everything I really need + have money + nothing to spend money on = abundance of sorts. I don't know if I feel rich, but it's strange feeling like money doesn't really do me much good. Daily expenses are super cheap. I only have going out to eat to spend money on. My favorite meals only cost $1 - $3. When everything is cheap, an expensive meal seems excessive.

Further screwing with me is that I can help out with simple tech stuff at these restaurants and I can eat for free. Business owners here don't know how to use things like Facebook, which is basically the internet for the Philippines. It's not really worth my time, but I like to help. There goes my main expense outside of rent and utilities.
As I understand it, server updates run counter to the idea of servers as static, externally configured fixtures ala cloud formation or its competitors. To merge the concepts you'd need to have aws or whoever manage your cloud formation templates and automatically re-deploy whenever they make a change to them for security reasons... I think maybe our tooling isn't quite there yet, but I'm sure its coming. Disclaimer: I don't have a very deep knowledge of cloudformation, so I might be talking out of my ass.
You are talking about the Model B/B+ then, as Model A and A+ do not have an ethernet port.
Well, I would hope every nuclear power station has a rapid reaction security force on hand 24/7 the could respond to these 'threats'.

As for the misdirection, using cellular relay devices is something most wouldn't do and even if they did it would provide a lead that could be followed.
An awful confrontation is definitely not a way to go. May want to try coaching approach, politely explaining the difference. For all you know, it may have been an intentional filter.

Bottom line though is that it helps you to use the same keywords they are looking for, to the extent you have the relevant experience.
First, if you believe in policing and the justice system at all, you think it's a good thing when the right person is punished for a crime, even if it's a small punishment for a small crime.

Second, it prevents the wrong person from being treated as the problem. Without immediate hard evidence that video gives police, both men could easily treated be treated the same. They could all spend a couple of nights in jail. That's a good win.
This is dumb. Why does it entertain me so much?
well, I am curious about the total return, at current valuations, realized or not. I figured something like this, 10 bln * 1% ownership after dilution should be = 100 mln. If they invested 100k each into 700 companiesm, they have invested 70 mln. So, it's roughly inline with a small technology stock ETF. Good return, but not fantastic, relative to the market. Or am I wrong ?
30 seconds guess: Author got hold of a large set of photos, analyzed for raised fingers with computer imagery.
Then author probably split the 960x680 px rectangle into a grid of small squares. Located the finger in every photo and assigned each of them to a specific square.

From there on it's a matter of finding the pointer in javascript and a Voronoi search to the matching photo. I'm not seeing an ajax call in the logs so there's probably a bit more magic going on clientside.

No, but if one wears an ill-fitting suit, and or is visibly uncomfortable because of their clothing; that could negatively affect an interviewer's perception of a candidate.
This I agree with completely, but you must recognize the need for a stepping stone when speaking to people who are otherwise totally ignorant of Zen, and also the fact that with this set of ideas, surely it is not a maximization effort: even a moderate comprehension of Zen is better than nothing. Some would say that this does not exist, but I have personally experienced great benefit from the way of thinking if not fully the way of life, and I know others have a chance to as well.

In other terms, it is very difficult to sell a way of life, but people readily accept one small idea in that direction. I very much respect what you have written and know it to be true, but I also believe that the intellectual part of zen, while surely not complete at all, has so many useful and real benefits that it can't be ignored, and it makes a fine introduction. Whatever the destination, the western mind needs some convincing.

However, I have taken to heart what you have said and I will further my learning by going and doing.

Edit: After some thought, I do want to re-iterate that I think there are two realizations (not close to enlightenment, or to Zen, per se, but related) that I think are relevant to this discussion: that reality is paradoxical, and that one of those paradoxes is that often effort in a certain direction is inversely proportional to success. We often find what we're looking for when we're not looking for it, and we often hit the target when we're least trying to.

The major realization is that these are not just silly anecdotes or trivialities, but a core part of life itself and what it means to be human. They are very important, and the original article shows a manifestation of those ideas in a very clear and human way without identifying them exactly.

The things that would really make up for the switching would be either A) experience which is very close to what I am currently hiring for B) a reason for the frequent switching.

At least for me, the CV is the least important part of the hiring pipeline. I have found them to have virtually zero correlation with good hires. So if I get a CV with frequent switching on it, and the candidate is great in all the other pipeline, it probably won't matter at all. If on the other hand, there are other questions about the candidate, a frequent switcher will get some questions about what they want in a job and a little bit of skepticism if we think there will be a big ramp up cost.

Let's be honest, here. This is just highway banditry. If the same thing was reported in 1950s central america, people would shake their heads over what a much more advanced society the U.S. was.

I'd be terrified of anywhere that didn't put their best people forward for interviews. Two reasons:

1) Hiring someone is a big deal. You want the people best placed to judge whether they're right involved.

2) You're selling the company to someone who may/will have other choices. Put the people forward who are going to do the best job of that.

Point 2 is important. I have no interest in candidates who do the whole "you'll make all the effort and bend over backwards because I'm in demand". Similarly I have no time for companies who demand days of preparation before interview as if I have no other options and they're the only game in town. In almost all cases the person isn't good enough to put up with that attitude and the company isn't the only place the person might consider working.

Jobs are a coming together of two interested parties and both sides need to show respect and be fair and reasonable. As a result if I'm recruiting then beyond a slightly tailored CV and some basic research into what we do (and maybe the technologies we use if you don't know them) I don't expect preparation. In exchange I'm going to spend time telling you about the role, the company and the project, I'm going to answer questions and I'm going to be as honest as I can be to make sure you can make a good decision.
