I have to disagree. At some point in your 30-40 year career you may well want to leave the start-up treadmill and join a big company.
At that point you'll hit HR pay-grade limits based on your degree (or lack thereof). Big companies do sexy work too. You'll also be un-attractive to start-ups once you get over 40 because, well, you're old and they're not.

Have a friend in his 40s having to plough through a degree (while holding down a full time job, and family duties) for just this reason.
Outdoor shopping centers and multiple seller under one roof centers have both been in use for millenia, neither is exactly a passing fad.

But I think large enclosed malls have greater construction, maintenance, and operating expenses, so if people aren't willing to pay a premium for the experience they provide, they won't thrive.

I wish I didn't have to worry about being "negative" in posting honestly about this site. It really is something awful, and reflects something disappointing about modern startup culture.

First, the synthesis of floaty background nonsense constitutes a contribution to a problem, not a solution we've been looking for. This is akin to making an automatic reality show generator. Nothing could be less aspirational. Second, what's upsetting here is how technically uninteresting this particular bot is, and yet we have a comment thread vaguely waving hands and intimating that something marvelous and deeply technical is going on here. The third problem is the pretension. The word "stochastic" here simply means some coins were flipped. It's hard to imagine how you would be posting about a "deterministic" music generator.

Well, XP likely has the same issues in their implementation, given similar origins, especially for older protocols. XP requires SP3 for TLS1 iirc, and doesn't support > TLS 1.0, let alone 1.1 or 1.2 (current).

There are other issues with browsers (namely that a lot of XP users are still using IE8, which has a host of other issues).

The project I am now on isn't supporting IE8, we're going to load some HTML5/ES6 shims, and a notice to users that it may not work, but given how poorly MS's VMs for testing IE8 on XP are, it's really a non-starter. IE8 is about 3-4% of our current traffic, which will likely be displaced by mobile traffic once our site/app is no longer mobile hostile.

I wouldn't consider XP a viable OS at this point, and many users would be better off with a more recent ubuntu, and wine.
From his phrasing ("firm where I work right now") it sounds like he was :)
No, I definitely realize the seriousness of timing attacks. I'm just curious about this particular implementation detail. I would have guessed that using the attacker's length would reveal more about the system than using a fixed length (unless the length of the valid string changed frequently). I'd like to understand why that isn't the case.
JMAP does indeed look very interesting. In my (very, very slow) path towards writing my own email client, I've also come to expect that a new, simpler protocol is probably a better bet than imap. Partly this belief is bolstered by the fact that the creator of sup went on to make heliotrope: https://github.com/sup-heliotrope/heliotrope
[ed: I suppose the canonical repo is https://github.com/wmorgan/heliotrope -- but afaik they are the same (and both appear dead)]

Is the code on: http://jmap.io/server.html actual code? If so what kind? Lua? It'd be great if you could publish some test cases, even if you don't have implementations to go (open source) with it at this time.

I'm sure fastmail can bring a lot of real-world testing and experience to the table when/if designing a new protocol for email -- and I'd be very surprised if we actually need more than one... (at least considering we already have smtp, lmtp, pop3, imap and maildirsync over ssh, along with rsync/unison -- that cover a lot of use-cases already).
"FILTER_SANITIZE_EMAIL" doesn't do any validation. That only filters.
This is great. Even if not all changes in the Tor Browser fork are appropriate to be merged back into Firefox (and certainly not all will be), for every one that they can merge, it both makes Firefox more secure and frees up Tor developers from maintaining those differences. Sounds like a win all around.
Yeah, I think all of us HFT programmers have war stories like this. I got a friend that had his program take out the entire market...

Usually it's best if the programmer is separate from the ops guy, but in this case it sounds like you got stuck doing both. That sucks. I've done a bit of trading myself and it's both boring and terrifying. The two worst emotions.
Hell, banks are some of the biggest offenders of requiring SSL3, with no TLS option...
The attack vector is a bit vague, and I'm not sure how to bring this news to some of my clients.

Is the exploit only for when running services on/to the internet (IIS, Exchange webmail, etc - ) , or is visiting an https (TLS) website on and end-user enough to make the exploit happen (even in Firefox/Chrome and behind a tradional proxy server).

Sadly Microsoft does not explain the exact parameters that make this exploit tick - this makes risk assessment hard.

I'm really interested in how you managed to start out on yourself. Care to share your story?

When I was 19 I managed to get a developer job at a medium-sized german dating site. I'm 22 now, still working on the said dating site, so my experience is pretty niche and limited and so are my connections. I'm actually pretty strong programming-wise (PHP and JavaScript professionally and Clojure(Script) and Go on the side.) But I completely lack any experience with business and design other than reading HN and blogs.

My goal is to get into freelancing/consulting the way patio11 describes it: make thing-X which will make/safe client-Y Z-amount-of-money. The challenge for me is:

- how to get experience in making thing-X without having the connections to get client-Y

If US were to engage in open war with any other nuclear armed nation, fate of a few aircraft would be the least of our worries.

Even if no nuke ever reached North America, the consequences will. Case in point is Fukushima radiation being detectable on the west coast. (http://www.whoi.edu/news-release/Fukushima-detection)

Granted those are trace amounts, but if a full scale nuclear war took place in Eurasia, we'd definitely would feel effects.
The author criticizes Warren Buffet's assertion that buybacks are good the shareholders, writing "Warren Buffett should spend more time reading blogs like Ultimi Barbarorum."

I've spent a lot of time reading Buffet, and he's pretty clear that he doesn't believe in equity-based compensation for employees. He believes that if employees want to own part of the company where they work, they should take their salary and go buy stock on the open market.

So, at least Buffet is consistent in his own view of the world. He's no hypocrite, and he's not guilty of what the author is accusing him of. The author should go read more of Buffet's writings.

That being said, I disagree with Buffet and believe that the Silicon Valley model of throwing equity compensation to rank-and-file employees is justified. The author's point that share buybacks don't all go to the shareholders is definitely true in general. But it is certainly less true or not true at all with regards to Berkshire Hathaway (Buffet's company).

Click the gray rectangle in the upper left corner.

Click "Rules" on the bar.

Select "Moore Yuppie Worms", "Moore Hipster Worms" or "Moore Bohemian Worms" from the "Rule" menu.

Click and drag in the cells to draw!

If the flashing is driving you insane:

Click "Simulation" on the bar.

Drag the "Steps per Frame" slider to 7.

The "Worms" rules have a 7 step cycle, so showing every 7th frame stop the stroboscopic effect. But when you draw on every 7th frame you don't get as many edges for it to chew on, so scribble around to get the spirals started and get the feel for the system, before you switch to 7 steps per frame.

> Is the code on: http://jmap.io/server.html actual code?

No, just pseudo-code.

Right now we don't have a lot of real JMAP code. FastMail's implementation technically isn't JMAP. To write JMAP we took our current protocol and filed off a lot of the pointy edges. We're working to update our own implementation, and we're also working on open-source reference servers and clients.

There's a mailing list just starting here:

You might like to sign up and lurk there. I'll be posting to it soon (maybe tonight) to get the ball rolling on a few things.

I believe in restrictive gun laws; sometimes people have psychotic breaks for instance, and it's preferable there not be a gun handy when they do. That said, guns absolutely can be used to defend. The most obvious example is that police officers carry guns to defend the general public from criminals (who may also have guns). Yes, you could say the act of firing a gun is offensive, but the threat of the weapon can still be used defensively, and even shooting someone could be considered defensive if it is done to save the lives of others.
Sure, Australian government will soon spy on you if you use Fastmail. But every other mail provider is spied on by US government at least. And Australia is an enlightened first world country so unless you're doing something illegal, you might as well consider it better than being spied on by US government.

That's a lot of work. Since this seems to be an ongoing problem with this particular board, it might be easier to just make up an entire blank board. You could move the big components over to a new board easily, and put in new resistors and caps.

Or redesign the board. It's a class D amplifier, which is a PWM device. This is a motor controller with delusions of grandeur. I suspect those caps are trying to filter the PWM signal down, and are seeing big inductive spikes from the speaker magnet.

If you just stuck a 600W power MOSFET amp board in there, you'd get as much bass as ever, with less hassle and a smaller parts count.

Putting yourself in others' shoes gets easier with experience and practice. Particularly experiences where you must do it to get what you want. There's a reason why people low on a power hierarchy often score higher in measures of empathy than people who have always been high up.

If you want to develop this skill, put yourself at the mercy of other people, and then don't give up or shy away when their decisions don't go your way. Instead, assume good faith and ask them why they made that decision. If there's information that would change their mind, provide it, but if there isn't - you've learned something important about the world.

Romantic relationships are great for this - you can't make someone like you, you just have to be likable. So are employment situations with a tough but fair boss. Stay away from yes-men, and resist the temptation to do things yourself.

Another big clue you can use is that whenever you catch yourself saying "This is stupid" or "I can't believe he's making that mistake" - stop, and brainstorm potential reasons why it might not be a mistake. I see a number of HN commenters with impassioned opinions about how dumb, corrupt, or greedy other people are. (I am occasionally one of them...nobody's perfect. :-)) If you want to practice empathy: stop, and look at the discussion. Why do the participants believe what they do? Usually you can get clues about their background from past comments. Usually, with practice, you can get clues by looking at the experience of other people with similar opinions. If you start from the premise that most people are basically rational and want to do good in the world, then the reason they might disagree is because they are each speaking from their own experience, and what looks rational depends upon the input data (in the form of life experience) that you have available to you.

I left DC about a half year ago for Silicon Valley - I personally love it here except for the expense. My co-workers are smart, the opportunities are hard to match as a developer, and the pay is good. DC is also a pretty good city for tech, but the pay is more based on how long you have been developing rather than merit.

One thing to remember is that moving is stressful - there are lots of moving parts before, during, and after the move. Be aware of this when planning out the future.
Please contact support. That's definitely not right.
Not necessarily if we assume that the schools themselves admitted candidates based on merit, which is a pretty safe assumption. The only attendance criteria that creates a bias against merit is affordability, but my understanding is that at the very top schools there is ample scholarship funding available for the underprivileged, such that finances should never be the reason for not attending if you are accepted.
"Nothing could be less aspirational" and "I think I need to wash my ears" aren't just negative, they are inconsiderate and unhelpful insults.
Pro: despite the "woe is us" rhetoric too often found in online communities, getting a bunch of people to complain actually made a political entity wake up and take notice.

Con: They only noticed for political reasons rather than that whole "representing the people" thing.

Con: Wheeler got the position after arranging several hundred thousands in donations to the campaign of the "no more lobbyists" candidate. He's unlikely to listen to the president he's already paid off.

Con: It doesn't seem like Obama is willing to actually fight for what he said he wants by leaning on those three of five. His record certainly indicates that he won't.

Con: Wheeler says "I am an independent agency" when there are several other people involved in the decision making. Implies total power, or at least distended ego.

It was great that Obama made a statement - it brought the issue to the attention of people who otherwise dismissed it as nerd rage. I don't think it will change anything.

with fastmail I'm missing out on the growing gmail ecosystem (Streak, Dropbox mailbox app, others).

While I have no doubt a better ecosystem around would be appreciated by some, the ecosystem thing as a whole is a double-edged sword.

I personally fled the Google-sphere because I felt I was gradually getting locked into something non-standard, non-portable.

These days I'm very hesitant to using non-integrations which aren't strictly needed. For instance: I prefer to create a proper user-account over "just" signing in with Facebook or Google.

I properly own my own domain and email-address. My Google or Facebook-account not so much.

Edit: To be clear, the value-add for me is that fastmail isn't some non-replaceable thing tied to an ecosystem, but a standards-based service provider which I can mix and mash with other best of breed-services as I see fit.

Great UI and great idea. If your goal is attention focus, then can you experiment with some softening?

For example, how about longer attack/decay envelopes? Changing sawtooth waves to sine waves? Lessening the ranges of frequencies and amplitudes?

This can create soundscapes that sound less like striking a high bell, and more like soft jazz woodwinds.

Click the gray rectangle in the upper left corner.

Click "Rules" on the bar.

Select "Eco Heat" from the "Rule" menu.

Click and drag in the cells to draw!

Use the mouse wheel or drag two fingers up and down the trackpad to add and subtract heat from the system. (You might tweak "Rules" / "Frob Scale" towards zero to make it less sensitive.)

The "ANNEAL" rule running in one plane defines where land and water are, and the land and water areas quickly congeal into continents and oceans like the spots on a cow.

The "BRAIN" rule runs in the water.

The 1's complement of the LIFE rule ("DEATH") runs on land.

They interact along the shores, stimulating each other where they meet.

The higher 5 bit planes are running a heat diffusion, which the ANNEAL, BRAIN and DEATH rules inject heat into.

So it's like the little organisms generate pollution that diffuses into the environment!

Play around with "Rules" / "Frob Target" to continuously add or subtract heat (pollution) from the environment.

Look at the histogram below and see if you can adjust it to get an equilibrium.

Once the pollution rises (or lowers) to a certain level in a cell, it wraps around to zero and kills any organism in that cell, and toggles between land and water, which can cause some interesting phase transitions and disasters of biblical proportions!

Oh, and you can click in the histogram to set the cell drawing value!
That's a pretty excellent reason :-p

1. Please don't store raw passwords and compare them with strcmp().

2. Less than you'd think. e.g., the total count of all 1 and 2 and 3 digit numbers is only 11% of the count of 4 digit numbers. (And that stat gets worse with just lower case letters.) Searching all shorter passwords ends up being an insignificant amount of time compared to searching all correctly sized passwords.
