Fist, it adds more moving parts, making the system more likely to contain a hole, which might be just enough for NSA. Second, consider that typical buyer is a beauracracy, and they are are either buying a crypto system, or the are not buying it. The upgrade might be trivial for you, but a beauracrat has no way of knowing that, so he has to play by the rules.

I think they key to scale of the word system is however big it needs to be to establish actual security. You can have perfectly good crypto, but if you're relying on certificate authorities you may be safe from street hackers, but as far as NSA is concerned its wide open.

It's just reading tea leaves, of course. I imagine that NSA is not enjoying reading thousands of applications from iOS app devs like me, so if they keep doing it they must be getting something for their effort.

Ask HN: What do you look for when hiring a junior/trainee developer?
I'm looking for my first web developer job and wondering what to expect from the interview. How do you interview junior developers? What do you look for, specifically:

-Do you set programming tests? If so, what kind of tests do you set?
-What's the minimum portfolio of work you expect to see?
-What kind of questions do you ask?
-Do you look for any particular attitude or personality traits?

To clarify, I'm a non-CS graduate looking to get on the first rung of the ladder, so my question relates to introductory jobs with smaller companies rather than top tech firms.

I think the idea of this interpretation is specifically not to have any implications outside of what we already know. They should be equivalent in the sense that you can derive one from the other.

It's like making Newtonian mechanical predictions based on F=ma vs. energy arguments, or analysing computation using a Turing machine vs. lambda calculus. The theory can't fundamentally change but you can use a different conceptual framework to get the same results (and some may be much easier to work with / more intuitive than others).

My (completely legal) copy of Windows decides that it's not legit every time I upgrade VirtualBox, and sometimes at random times in between. Each time I have to dig out the disk and go through the authentication BS.

If I actually used it for anything other than occasional browser testing it might be worthwhile to jump through those hoops, but I don't. Not to mention that (since I only need it once in a great while) each time I use it I have to go through downloading a zillion megabytes of software updates and reboot multiple times.

Also, I don't have to keep it around on my (always full) main drive or run it off a slow external drive.

The two cents an hour cost for the AMI is well worth avoiding the hassle, for me. Your use case may well be different.

Do you honestly think that we just need more people voting to change the system? The average voter isn't going to understand the underlying failures of a 2 party democracy in which no third party has a chance at significantly upsetting the status quo. Are you going to vote to continue the foreign wars or vote to continue the foreign wars while saying you won't? That's your choice. Also people aren't going to become informed to vote. More people voting would probably just mean a similar split to the current one.

So, how long until Microsoft buys Dropbox? Seems kind of strange that they would not be integrating OneDrive into Office rather than Dropbox.
Twitter has replaced RSS for me. For me, the value of Twitter is learning new things, similar to the value I place on HN. I am pretty good at filtering out the noise because I usually look for links in posts. I rarely read a series of tweets in a conversation, and usually scroll right by link-less posts without reading.
Office is THE cash cow, OneDrive is (probably) a loss leader. Anything that can be done to ensure Office's continued near ubiquity, reduce usage friction, and shore up beach heads against competitors looking for an area to drive a wedge in will be done.
Presumably because Microsoft will make a better offer.
Not at all; the biggest difference was electric for cooling, though there were savings in natural gas heating too.

I believe the biggest nest concepts to help were the clever fan operation (allowing cool air from the basement to circulate after the AC unit itself had shut off), and auto-away.

From their help page:

If you exceed the limit of your current storage plan, you won’t be able to upload additional content but you'll still be able to view, download and delete your files, photos, and personal videos for at least three months.

During this time you can:
...Renew or sign-up for Amazon Prime to enjoy the Prime Photos benefit...
They could feasibly even create slopes that could pull dropbox into renting in Azure to achieve specific value-adds with MS integration. Overall, it looks like a plus for consumers with not a specific downside being described by anyone (yet?).
Just don't delete any local files because they don't remain in Dropbox. Crashplan will keep locally deleted files forever. Backblaze only keeps them for 30 days, and Dropbox removes them immediately (you can access them for 30 days via deleted file history, 1yr if you pony up more cash, but the business plan keeps them indefinitely)

I agree with wanting the 1TB option to be cheaper, but I'm finding fewer uses for Dropbox unless I switch to the business plan, which doesn't make sense. However for a family, you get 5 users for 15/mo and unlimited space. I'm still trying to figure out the downside to the business plan.
as linked elsewhere in the thread, moxie offers an excellent explanation: http://www.thoughtcrime.org/blog/telegram-crypto-challenge/
Kind of like what Microsoft did to Facebook.
Having experienced both sides of this, I concur.

When your manager is annoyed and replies "oh man, how much will I have to push back the next release deadline for your bug?!" even though you just discovered it and didn't necessarily cause it, it's much more disheartening than something like

"Good! Fix it! I'm giving you two weeks until the next release (instead of releasing tomorrow) and if it's still an issue we'll get you some backup."

Race conditions can in some cases break the entire product or render some of its results useless (depending on scale and location of the bug, naturally). I definitely think in most cases they shouldn't be taken lightly.
They could make them switch to Azure like they made Hotmail switch from BSD to NT

Since FoxPro many years ago, there is not a single acquisition by Microsoft that turned in a great product or an improvement to the end user (please, include in this scope Groove Networks, whichi was great at that time).
Kudos to Microsoft for being open to partnering with Dropbox, as this new functionality appears to overlap with OneDrive. I hope this is another example of MS being more open and flexible after the recent leadership change.
To the OP: I know this isn't the kind of answer you were looking for, but it will probably be the most rewarding — just in ways you hadn't imagined.

Having done a couple Angular projects now (and not really loving it), I started learning Knockout on the strength of this thread:

http://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/2kl88s/angular_...

So far I'm really impressed! I appreciate how focused it is, how it is "more library than framework," and how nicely it plays with other Javascript libraries. And unlike Angular, you can really get up to speed in an evening, so trying it out is an easy investment.

I'm curious what you're combining with it? I think I will use:

- sammy.js for routing

- knockout.mapping for making API calls

- Bootstrap

- jQuery+Underscore for general utilities

- Maybe this for d3 graphs: https://github.com/hoonzis/KoExtensions

Anything else?
Condoleezza Rice doesn't care what you are editing in office.
Not sure how is this good news for Dropbox?

MS is giving office 365 customer free unlimited cloud storage.

Now M$ can tell their office (probably soon to be office 365 ) customers: "Good News, we have dropbox support for you, but BTW checkout out our unlimited cloud storage for free too."

For me, it is a bit like MS in 90 said we have strong competitor call Netscape while pre install IE for free to kill Netscape. It is assimilation strategy from the old play book.

Dropbox has little choose on this as Box are doing it and their enterprise customers might also demand it. They have to the poison pill.

Amazon tries so hard to add more Prime benefits to get me to sign up for Prime, but I just don't care about any of them.

Google Shopping Express is faster than Amazon, and that's the only Prime benefit I care about. For movies, Netflix is better. For music, all any other streaming service is better. For Prime Lending Club, too few books are actually available for lending to make it a worthy benefit. And now for photos, Google Photos is a better product.
The value of his 'boyish wonder face' is that he's emotionally open, relatively speaking, and therefore we perceive that he's not consciously deceiving us in ways that he thinks important.

If we didn't spend all that time on vacuum tubes then, where would audiophiles be today?

The truth of the matter is that we have a lot of experience with chemical rockets because there is a huge technology overlap with ballistic missiles, from the original German V-2s to modern MRV ICBMs. We haven't yet used those other techs for space launch mostly because they less easily weaponized. So far, national superpowers have been the primary motivators in space development. When they spend money, they like to get some extra power out of the deal.

Air-breathing engines, while useful for initial acceleration of spacecraft, are also useful for moving a missile halfway around the planet. Launch loops, on the other hand, have no practical military uses.

A private space flight industry, with no need to develop dual-purpose tech, would tend to favor lowering the cost of 1 kg to LEO rather than refine the ability to deliver a payload. And that's what makes V.G. and SpaceX so great, even if they are stumbling around like toddlers just out of the playpen right now.
For me, the fact that Microsoft worked directly with the FBI to integrate OneDrive into PRISM makes the whole product something I would never touch, so it's great to see alternatives picking up the slack.

When I'm writing a contract I usually put this in the milestones I'm paid by. E.g. one week for feature 1 delivery, next week for client requested adjustments to it, next week for feature 2 delivery, week after for client requested adjustments, etc..

Generally I only pick something I could finish in half a week for the 1 week milestone too, so there is plenty of time if it turns out tougher than I thought.

This is also a good way to communicate that you won't tweak a feature every week for months after without adding another milestone (and more pay) to compensate, something every client always asks for in the end, because you don't really learn anything until a feature is put in front of an end user.

Networking or Development
Hello. Just looking for some advice. I'm graduating Spring next year with my Bachelors, but I'm still trying to decide what career path I want to follow. Right now I'm majoring in Information Technology.

Basically my major seems to take us down a path so we end up being System Administrators. While System Administration is great, I'm really more interested in focusing on Network Engineering or Web Development.

I'm just curious to know, because I'm still a novice, are there any jobs that are a hybrid of Network Engineering and Development? Or am I just shooting myself in the foot by not focusing on one area at the moment?

I'm studying for my CCNA right now, but I'm trying to learn JavaScript, JSON, etc. as well.

I'm sure others have been in similar situations, if so, how did you decide which path to follow?

It's possible that it is becoming a more difficult space to compete in. There are now several companies (MS, Google) that can use it as a mechanism for lock-in or subsidize the costs in another way. If Dropbox wants to compete, their margins over AWS pricing will get very thin, and Google et al can still undercut them.
It's not impossible that redistributing piles of cash from California citizens to Enron shareholders, employees, and execs in return for intentionally cutting off electricity was a net benefit for society.

But I doubt it. And so should you. Focusing on the fact that we can't finish the proof without an assumption along the lines of "financially incentivizing companies to treat customers poorly is bad for society" is very much in the same vein as arguing that we can't prove one way or another if there will be an alien invasion in the next year => let's assume there's a 50/50 chance.
Expecting Twitter to replace controlled curation is a recipe for noise. The value in RSS is some process or person is curating a defined set of data

To a certain extent, this is why email newsletters have had a resurgence in recent years. They allow curation while using a delivery mechanism almost every Internet user uses and understands (email, instead of an RSS client/service).
State-of-the-art salesmanship.
Sorry but this just reeks of naiveté. When the few areas of tech that I have actually been involved with in the real world come up on HN there are always comments stating that things are just so simple and why so and so is doing it wrong and why it so much easier if they just do something simplistic...

That just isn't the case in the real world when working with tens of millions of customers. This will become apparent when you actually get out there in the field and realize systems involving tens of thousands of machines hosting dozens of different services to millions of people is actually not simple.

Due to toughening CO2 standards, ICE automakers are going to see their costs rise over the next decade. Meanwhile Tesla's gigafatory will reduce the cost of batteries ~30%, which will significantly increase the gross margin on the Tesla S & X, while simultaneously enabling a high-margin mid-market auto offering; the Tesla 3 or whatever it'll be called.

Also, does buying cars have a future at all, or are we going to lease them or even just use them JIT via proxies like Uber? The depreciation of an electric car is very different from an ICE car, and so I think there's a need to reboot our perspective about what car-ownership means back to to first principles, just as Tesla has done.
It's good for Dropbox, because they can push further into the enterprise market. When business users try to decide between Dropbox and OneDrive, Office integration won't be an issue for Dropbox any more.

Dropbox has its own merits over OneDrive. OneDrive is not as friendly and feature-complete as Dropbox is. And Dropbox has far better APIs when it comes to integrating with other services.

And as far as Microsoft is concerned, the partnership improves people's productivity.

With any group of people, you always have a spectrum of talent and usefulness. I've worked with Stanford CS grads who would shock you with the inability to produce anything useful without handholding and worked with Stanford MBAs that I was surprised could even get their pants on in the morning. The problem is that the admissions process for most of these programs is less about the numbers and more about your ability to network or tell a compelling life story. If you can tell a story that impresses the admission folks, you're likely to get in. Sometimes this is reflective of actual talent, sometimes its a reflection of great story telling.

That being said, there a few incredibly talented and intelligent people in each class that will continue to allow these types of institutions hold the prestige that they do.

I already voted early, the apathy and boasting about not voting going on here is the exact reason our politicians such fucking idiots.

People complain that the baby boomers control politics but that's because they are the only ones that show up to vote so their interests are met.

By not voting you are just giving a louder voice to those that do. Not voting as a form of protest does not exclude you from the laws that are passed by the people voted in by those that did.

I'm real fucking sick of the deafest and general negativity here on HN.

It is worse than that. When people tell others their preferred way of being contacted they will take convenience and pricing into account. The SMS charges mean they'll prefer other means (eg Facebook messages) which makes their phone number and service less and less relevant. It was a great way of forcing customers to go elsewhere.
