Emerging standard in that area, subresource integrity: http://w3c.github.io/webappsec/specs/subresourceintegrity/

It's initially just doing the simplest possible thing (making the resource unavailable unless its hash is valid) but semantically it will probably be allowed for the browser to resolve the resource using other methods (e.g. if it already has that resource cached from another URL) so long as the hash matches.
And that means the banks that did the right thing are not rewarded for doing the right thing. All of the sudden doing the wrong thing is both profitable and risk free.
You've never heard tribute paid to a parent by someone you admired? Or do you think it's always ceremony?

Sure but that is not a legacy in my mind. Said this way, how good of a dad Steve Jobs was rarely if ever is discussed when talking about his legacy. If I recall he even had an "illegitimate" son.

One final note: maybe no one is remembered by name for their work as a parent or partner--not that it matters to most--but there are some who are known and remembered for how bad of one they were. And their legacies are tainted, no matter what else they did.

No doubt about that, but those are cases of actual abuse, and real hardcore neglect. Is Nelson Mandela admonished for being a bad and absent father? No.

Extrapolate on this reasoning a bit, and you might end up at something like Convey.

Disclaimer: I have nothing to do with them, I know there are other projects that have taken FPGA-oriented programming much further, but Convey seems to have done the best so far commercializing the idea.
> It's not worth all the human suffering caused by a depression instead of a recession just to prove that the banks should be more cautious.

It's not about proving a point, it's about preventing this situation from happening again. If the financial industry knows that outright financial fraud on a massive scale will never be punished, it ensures that outright financial fraud will continue unabated in the future. Millions of people will be hurt again because we didn't want the pain of dealing with the problem now.

HSBC got caught laundering money for drug cartels and escaped with a fine. If we're just going to let corporate malfeasance go unpunished, why even have the laws on the books at all?
Not a fan of the idea that 45% of their revenue goes to employees that would leave if they weren't paid so highly. That logic is suspect because Twitter has done very little in the way of innovation over the last several years. Yeah they introduced cards, but that wasn't too complicated. A Twitter clone could be made by a dozen capable programmers over a summer. The programmers shouldn't be taking so much of the revenue.

Also the fact that the ads aren't as targeted as Facebook or Google hurts it's advertising capabilities. Still I don't think Twitter will go anywhere anytime soon, it seems like the go-to social network for power brokers, the press, and the intellectual elite. That's gotta count for something, right?

For me it's the cleanest user experience. And as opposed to Facebook, get's better with the more people you follow instead of worse. It's also got less spamming ads than Facebook and much more interesting content.
My concern is: If it were that "easy", why hasn't anybody noticed an increase in "spontaneous remissions" of diabetes in people being treated with verapamil?

It may just have gone unnoticed, but there should be thousands of diabetes patients who were treated with verapamil because of high blood pressure.

While 'your honeymoon' could have been used in place of 'it' - I think in context, 'it' is the only one of the things in the list that is something 'planned'.

Perhaps parenthesis could have been used for clarification on this if the main discussion is about the honeymoon. eg. "so they’ll suggest two days for your honeymoon (and two if a parent passes away, and one if your wife passes away).
I find it funny you have a problem "coercing" poor women and single mothers (by allowing them the choice to sell a product they have) but you don't have a problem coercing sex workers out of the industry they chose to work in.

> That would stop being true if we allowed red-light districts in our cities.

Except that the world has several red-light districts and what you're saying would happen never did and never will.

Look, those prostitutes in the Netherlands making pennies for sex, they still have to sit and wait for clients. During that time they can pick up a book and learn other skills. If they're not doing that it's because they don't want to do something else other than have sex for money.

The phrase uses maleness as a reference to something better or great. 'real men' are used as example of 'great'. It has the same effect as 'throw like a girl'.

I'll admit to being sensitive to the topic. I'm mostly surprised that given all of the attention that the barriers to women in the industry has been given over the last number of months, people still use language like this. My point is that we _should_ be sensitive to this issue. We should think about the women engineers that are on the margins, perhaps experiencing harassment at work or online, and consider how they would feel reading yet another 'manly man' reference to being a great developer.

But there is. Make damn sure the old and the new can live side by side on the same system for as long as the user/admin see fit. Thus making the user/admin the arbiter of change, not the project devs or the distro maintainers.

You find this on the kernel level, where old and new APIs sit side by side. But higher up it seems like egos override pragmatism. Or "perfect is the enemy of good".
They might have 10x or 100x the evidence they actually need. So they provide the least compromising to their own operation.

Why are bitcoins a solution to a corrupt criminal justice system?
Yes, and they miss the fact arbitrageurs actually help most people.

If these arbitrageurs are keeping all the prices in different exchanges in line, it means that your average ad seller/buyer does not need to spend time and money on researching which exchange has best liquidity (although they probably still want to know which one chargers lower comissions).

Of course, there will be an effective fee that the arbitrageurs collect, but competition amongst them will drive that feed down (in principle, to less than what the average person would have spent on research).

Haven't looked at it in a while but when I did previously it was prone to the nearly universal Android issue of leaking data through AccessibilityService, which is basically this:

I leave my phone on my desk, Bob grabs it while I'm in the bathroom, turns on Unknown Sources, installs an apk from a known URL which implements an accessibility service that forwards all TextView contents over to his nefarious logging servers.

Once he installs this service (rooting and USB connection not required, just physical access to a non-PIN-locked phone and takes about 5-10 seconds to do if you've already posted an apk ready to install to some public url) it will always be running and come up on startup whenever the phone is rebooted and never show me any indication that it is running (unless the service ANRs or crashes or I go to the Accessibility settings page in the OS settings which I am unlikely to do as a user who doesn't require any special accessibility features).

Bob then puts my phone back and I begin to use it unawares. All of my data that is displayed to the UI at all is leaking regardless of how secure the network protocol is.

Take-aways:

If you are an Android user and care about things like secure chat being actually secure, PIN protect your phone or glue the phone to your skin so nobody can install an APK without your knowledge.

If you create an ostensibly secure Android app consider querying AccessibilityManager occasionally to take a look and see if any accessibility services are running and if they are indicate this to the user in some visible fashion that explains the risks, this allows people who have legitimate accessibility issues to use the app but mitigates the possibility of a data leak that the user is completely unaware of. Or alternately use an accessibility delegate on all your TextViews and other leaky widgets and have a setting in your app where when this filtering is disabled it is obvious to the user.

That's exactly the attitude that keeps women away from jobs in this industry. This use of the term is _clearly_ a gender specific reference. We should be working on using more inclusive language. Language like this pushes women away, and that's a huge problem for us.
Maybe lawmakers could help by mandating that if you launch a kg you have to deorbit a kg. Given the right incentives I'm sure the private market can solve this problem.
TL DR; OP is another white guy w/ Asian fetish.
Before I even started to read the article I knew op had a Japanese wife, as is the case w/ 100% of these.
Also OP is a Japanese-wannabe, aka secretly deep down inside wishes he was Japanese, but he realizes that Japanese society will never accept him as one of their own despite living there for 10+ years and being fluent and literate in the language. I'm surprised he didn't talk about that part.

The other comments recommend better options to simulate xmonad/other tiling wm's (FYI there is a version[1] of xmonad in development that works with native OS X windows) but for distraction-free work I really enjoy OS X's fullscreen mode. Often to avoid distractions I'll fullscreen everything and use gestures to go back and forth - gives you an identical experience to an iPad (unlike the statement in the article).

Using the gesture to hold two fullscreen windows visibly at once but not relying on tiling or overlapping is surprisingly useful and productive.

awesome!

most crimes are out of desperation (particularly drug offenses), not ill-intent, but we punish them the same. the disadvantaged and systemic poor are in situations from which escape is exceedingly difficult. we should have a little compassion and bring sheep back into the fold with forgiveness, not exacerbate the underlying condition. it's not the punishment that keeps people in line anyways, it's social bonds. you need systems that strengthen social bonds for offenders, not tear them apart like prison does.

There's a new design trend that has been popular on news websites such as The Verge and FiveThirtyEight: the comments section is hidden, and you explicitly have to click "open comments" for them to appear.

The motivation for this trend is to hide the comments, as blog comment sections tend to be of low value for controversial stories, despite algorithms that can correct for low value comments (e.g. upvoting/downvoting). The fact that Reuters is removing comments from news stories completely indicates that Reuters is lazy and doesn't want to deal with negative comments at all or find a more practical solution for user interaction. Note that the Reuters Facebook page has just as many if not more low-quality comments. (example: https://www.facebook.com/Reuters/posts/837804776239880)

The "everyone is talking about it on social media anyways" rationale is a terrible excuse.

Company: http://www.unicity.com/usa/company/ - Unicity International located in Orem, UT.

Position: Sr Software Engineer. REMOTE and VISA are cool.

I'm Software Architect here and I'm looking for a person to complement my team of 2 other engineers. We build and use APIs to integrate modern web/mobile/native apps with legacy back-end systems (Cobol from 90's; C# from 00's). Those APIs are then consumed by external customers, contractors and internal separate web-team. Besides APIs we build and manage ESB to connect those legacy systems with each other.

My team does Continuous Delivery to respond to ever-changing priorities. Test-Driven Development gives us sanity and sleep at night.

Being big believers in SOA and EIP, most of our intra-team collaboration is about negotiating API contracts. Implementation of each service/component is mostly left to an individual developer.

Ideal candidate should feel comfortable with Microsoft stack (i.e. Windows servers, IIS, SqlServer, and C#) and be proficient with OSS products (e.g. Linux, PHP, Java, PostgreSQL, and MySQL).

If you are interested, please shoot me an email to dzmitry.pletnikau@unicity.com

Eliminate corporate taxes, and corporate personhood as legal concepts, establish non-living entities as a legal class without certain rights (unable to donate to political campaigns). Limit unused and under-used assets a corporation can own (If a company owns property it doesn't use, or has an excess of liquid assets they are ceased by the govt).

Do those things, and a lot of the rest would sort itself out. Companies would need to constantly grow (Amazon) or downsize to their actual value-add (Banks).
If you're referring to the Washington legalisation, I'd agree that is a step forward. If you mean in general I'm not sure if the US is changing all that much.

The US has a strange puritanical undertone to it that doesn't seem to be going away. Things that are considered immoral are outlawed and heavily punished, often with no chance of redemption (i.e. in the US most crimes never expire and it is hard (and expensive) to get them expunged).

You can see this puritanical nature everywhere, from violence Vs. sex on TV, in crimes (i.e. sex is prosecuted disproportionately harshly), video games, and so on, to drugs ("war on drugs," US's obsession with [legal] painkillers, while dishing out anti-depressants like candy), homophobia in general (and "abnormal" things in the bedroom), alcohol, and on and on.

It seems to me that charging individuals with crimes while bailing out institutions in a way which protected investors would have neatly dealt with that problem (it may not have dealt with the problem that investors throwing money at firms caring only about returns and not exercising deeper control are part of the problem, but it would have provided accountability at least on the executive side where the more proximate responsibility lies, which would be better than no accountability at all.)

Same, I've had co-workers laugh at my crazy key bindings, but by comparison, whenever I have to code on my Mac (which I've not customized, or someone else's computer, I wonder how I ever managed to get anything done without a highly customized environment.

I use i3 (tiling manager - I find it the easiest to config) and vim, and similar key bindings across both.

I get how it can seem like a lot of trouble for some people, but it's so worth it when you can edit code and move around your environment at basically the speed of thought.

Some would argue that typing / windows-switching speed is not the bottleneck in development, but for me it's not about performance (I'm a rather bad typist), but about reducing mental overhead and minimizing "mental disrupts". One-second distractions of reaching for my mouse, then moving the pointer to the task bar, etc... just add up to a lot of overhead (try reading a dense article while taking one-second breaks to look away from the page after every sentence. Comprehension plummets).
Show HN: KingForADay – Reddit AMA's Meets Ethan Chat
The choice to have kids in the first place is a purely individual choice. For some, it may be incredibly important. For others, I think it's perfectly acceptable to opt out of the whole thing.

Once you've had the kids, however, I'd suggest that most startups (perhaps not absolutely all) are objectively less important than making sure your kids grow up to be decent, empathetic, constructive members of society – for whatever definition of society you choose. It may be tough for your kid to grow up to change everyone's world, but it's really easy to let one grow up to destroy someone's world, and preventing that is the job you took on when you decided to take the step of having a child that may one day interact with mine.
> despite algorithms that can correct for low value comments (e.g. upvoting/downvoting)

I'm not sure that's universally true.

I often see comments lacking substance get highly upvoted largely because people who might have a different opinion would be participating and conversing on a different platform instead of the source website. And so, bias voting can skew what rises to the top.
I would argue that computers are extremely productive, but that they are also multi-functional, and that it would be very sad to remove all the other interesting functionality from a computer until you had the ultimate focus machine.

I do resonate with the idea that some people have a bad interaction with current computers. Just like some people may have biologies that will interact badly, despite a general array of interventions or strategies, in the face of easily accessible drugs like alcohol and cigarettes.

But it would be a shame to remove bars and liquor just because some people cannot control themselves. Some humans will always be led off the summit due to their unseated spirits, but let us not flatten mountains for their sake.

Hopefully there will be an elegant software solution that satisfies everyone ("Google / Siri, focus mode on!"; "Okay, I have suspended distractions until I see evidence that your job is done."), but until then, computers are designed as an open invitation to another world, but maybe you only wanted spreadsheets.
