Thanks kyro. Also, here's the link to whitehouse.gov page: http://www.whitehouse.gov/net-neutrality
Yeah. Most languages don't. Python and Javascript compilers still don't and Emacs LISP still doesn't.
The summary is misleading. The person in question is Andrej Holm; the word matching algorithm did not directly lead to the search of his home and his arrest. It led to an investigation (in conjunction with his known extremist leanings); the warrants for the search and the arrest were based on his meetings and mail exchanges with the suspect in an arson case [1] (that suspect was later convicted of attempted arson and membership in a criminal organization).

That said, while there was plenty of probable cause to justify a search warrant [2] (as far as I can tell), the arrest warrant was all kinds of questionable, even considering the additional incriminating evidence that was found as the result of the search [3]. As the Federal Court of Justice noted when they vacated the arrest warrant [1], all the prosecution could prove was him having connections with the extreme left, but no evidence that he was involved in terrorist activities. And having extreme left sympathies and writing extreme left articles may be criminally stupid, but it's not a crime.

With regard to "bursting into their Berlin home", the article also does not mention that Holm had been a member of the "Wachregiment Feliks Dzierzynski" [4], an elite paramilitary regiment under the command of the Stasi. Together with Holm's undoubted connections with the extreme left, law enforcement could be excused for assuming that he may be dangerous.

The real concern is that the prosecution kept pushing even when it became increasingly clear that they caught the wrong guy (along with the actual perpetrators); thankfully, the courts would have none of it (this time).

[1] http://juris.bundesgerichtshof.de/cgi-bin/rechtsprechung/doc... (judgement vacating the arrest warrant against Andrej Holm, in German)

[2] Strictly speaking, German criminal procedure law has different requirements for searches compared to US law, but there's a "probable cause"-like element, and from the looks of it, the prosecution would have had probable cause under the US standard, too.

[3] The standard for an arrest warrant is "dringender Tatverdacht", meaning that the suspect is very likely to be the perpetrator, based upon available evidence; it's a higher standard than what is necessary to prosecute, which requires only that a conviction is likely, not very likely. An additional requirement for an arrest warrant is that the suspect is either (1) likely to flee or to (2) engage in obstruction of justice or (3) has been previously convicted of serious crimes and there is substantive evidence that he or she may commit other serious crimes.

I agree with this statement, and I'm in the US. My manager wears cargo shorts to the office, but I'd still raise an eyebrow if you wore them to an interview.

The key is to dress up "a little bit".

Wear what would you wear for a "big day" - presenting at a conference, demoing for a customer, or a one-on-one with your boss's boss. Some places, that's a clean t-shirt and your best pair of jeans. If you're fixing healthcare.gov, that might be a suit and tie.
Share your cv
I am looking at redesigning my CV. I was wondering if people would like to share examples of there CV (links only please do not paste the contents of your cv).

I have all the content but I just feel it looks dated and lacking that modern look and feel.

Thanks
Hm, so if I develop on this I will still have to test in the regular stable Firefox release, that seems unfortunate.

Having more tools in a developer edition compared to the regular version of the browser seems fine, but at least for me I would like run it with the same rendering engine my users are likely to run.
The generalizations in this paper based on cherry-picked studies aren't very convincing. How people react in contrived situations, and how people live their life are quite a bit different. The word "suggest" appears 17 times in this article, where the author extrapolates from the findings of a single research experiment. It reads more like an opinion piece than anything scientific, and I'm certainly not going to change my habits from what's written in it.

Will this version survive months of usage with multiple open tabs without performance deteriorating massively like the regular firefox? I left FF after my 10th profile reset / reinstall to get back to "normal" performance.
Thanks for the alternative. One of my pet peeves with most cross-platform software is no native Linux client. They've made great strides with the web client (recent UI overhaul), but I still find the Windows desktop client slow to respond.

Nimbus doesn't have a native Linux client either.

I don't blame these companies if Linux users are a miniscule minority.
Ex-Nokians Crowdfund A Device To Democratize The Internet Of Things
But it doesn't fail. I've been recruiting solid teams who deliver software for a decade now.

The right current skills and the ability to learn future skills aren't incompatible. After all, how do you think those people got those current skills? I don't have to choose one or the other and I've rarely met anyone in IT who isn't willing to learn new skills.

Generally I have two or three core skills I'm looking for for a role for and the rest are nice to have. To me it's a given you'll basically be smart and that you'll need to learn stuff but I also know from experience I can get smart people who have a core set of knowledge which will make them productive early on.

I certainly have no interest in someone who can copy and paste keywords and if that's all you'd done you won't get past first interview. All I'm asking is that you present your experience in a way which is most relevant to me to help me understand.

I would like to kindly request that you look at the guidelines on commenting (linked at the bottom of the page). In particular, complaining about being downmodded and opening with "What an incredibly stupid thing to say" are both explicitly against community norms.

The rest of your comments may or may not be true, but they feel off-topic.
To go along with that, the captor was nabbed because his car had a built-in GPS tracker, installed by the dealer to deter theft.

Don't worry, it was in the fine print somewhere.

You're being harsh - graduate CVs are tough because almost no-one has done anything useful. Yes it all looks rubbish but I'd rather someone who had made an effort to sell themselves and had shown they had the ability to pitch up to a job on a regular basis.
>More money leads in almost all people to artificial value, short term superficial happiness, degradation of the soul.

I could not disagree more. In the vast majority of cases, money leads to less misery. Then you just lead your life without the obsessive material thoughts so many struggle with.

I do agree with your last point, though, that once you reach a certain level of stability, you should focus on either reducing other people's misery if you have the power to do so or creating things (either yourself or by proxy) that wouldn't exist in the world without your help.

It's worth looking at first-generation prohibition through the proper historical lens: it was a womens' issue, largely a proxy for addressing domestic violence and unemployment as a result of untreated alcoholism in men (this was before AA).

Prohibition may be immoral and/or counter-productive, but to those who have experienced the worst elements of alcoholism (personally or societally), the drive to outlaw it is at least understandable, whether or not it is irrational.

I strongly recommend Ken Burns' documentary series on the subject: http://www.pbs.org/kenburns/prohibition
I wonder, does the higher price take subsidies into account? Any is it possible to grow any kind of produce? Ie. carrots and potatoes as well?
I think there's more of a chance for jury nullification to be a widely understood (and used) concept than for any NOTA campaign to work.
I love firefox, but this looks like a simple rebranding of the experimental beta version.

If that version is going to be the same version that regular users get 12 weeks from now, it's hardly "tailored" for developers.

Though I'm assuming getting rid of "unstable beta" marker gets a whole new group of unknowing beta testers.

Who doesn't get how Dev Edition is different to normal firefox?
I managed to get this when downloading Firefox Aurora over the weekend while reinstalling my OS. I wasn't expecting the dark UI when I opened it. I personally found it a little garish and I couldn't immediately see a way to turn it off. Anyone know if there's a way to switch it back?

One of the most powerful tools in my chest is Firefile (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/firefile/).

Firefile allows you to edit CSS in firebug and save to your stylsheet right from there. It's incredible how this smooths out my workflow and I can't work without it.

Firefile, though, doesn't appear to be in development anymore and it's latest release is broken. (I had to make some manual edits to get it working).

Any chance we'll see Firefile's functionality coming to FF Dev Edition?
Since I have zero trust in Obama these days, I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop - or to see what's Obama's angle in this. Is he doing it because he already knows a Republican-backed Congress and FCC have already made up their minds against net neutrality - and he just wants to be remembered that "he tried"?

Or is he supporting full net neutrality because that would give the government much more control over the Internet?

Either way I don't think he's doing this because "he cares". Whatever his angle/hidden agenda, it's probably a bad one for us.

The linked issue isn't "we need to patch Shellshock". It's "we have 800 hacked machines on the network, they are DDoSing like crazy, and it's saturating the internal network". Their problem isn't that servers have been hacked. It's that it's overloading the network.

OVH isn't responsible for what people do with the servers. They provide the initial installation, networking, hardware monitoring and some management tools, but that's it. If they detect that a server is sending too much traffic, they can guess that it has been hacked, so what they usually do is disable it and notify the owner to fix it. But they don't do more, that's not their business. If you want a host that does more for you, it's managed hosting you want, not a dedicated server provider.
The next place you move it too will be developers giving away the service for free thinking they can be profitable down the road but what they don't know is that they have millions of you as their customer. They will shutdown and then you move on to the next free service. The issue with evernote is that they applied the get big quick model fir customer acquisition and they scooped up a lot of tuna instead if samon. Compare this to slack which applied a more targeted approach to customer acquisition with a more focused product.

Evernote needs to weed out customers like you as quickly as possible but it will require a more streamlined product.
If you don't like setting up your Browser again, you can go to about:preferences#general and uncheck Allow Firefox Developer Edition and Firefox to run at the same time

This will cause Firefox Dev to use the Firefox profile with all your settings and Addons.
From the top of my mind:

1. HTTP Request builder (think cURL with a nicer GUI and the ability to save presets);

2. Web Proxy, able to "stop-and-modify" requests (think Fiddler or Charles);

3. Network conditions simulator for throttling, packet dropping and limited bandwidth, with profiles (e.g. GPRS);

4. Local Mock REST API, with a few predefined endpoints (e.g. /users/) + the ability to create new ones (with configurable values such as random integers between X and Y or a random string which is a valid e-mail);

5. Multi-touch simulator (with a modifier key);

6. A usability test facilitator, able to create test scripts and automatically record timing and extra information (e.g. define a task that ends when user clicks the element with id X; when said user clicks #X, you annotate the time, the number of misclicks, etc). You could also implement this for static images, with clickable regions. I would love you for this one.
Some details here:

The second paragraph is apropos:

> A woman snatched off the streets was rescued with the help of a GPS tracking device that had been installed on the suspect's car by the dealer in case it needed to be repossessed, authorities said Thursday.

> It was just the latest arrest made possible by the surveillance technology that is seemingly everywhere nowadays. And it involved not just GPS but surveillance video, traffic-camera imagery and a left-behind cellphone.

Edit: Also from the above article regarding traffic-cam:

> Her rescue came after authorities spotted the used-car dealer's name on a traffic camera photo of Barnes' vehicle and recognized the dealership as one that routinely puts GPS devices on its cars, said sheriff's Capt. Jayson Crawley, of Charles City County, Virginia.

> "We called the dealership, and within five minutes they had the location," he said.
terrorists also breath a relation of nitrous oxide and regularly dose on a chemical, dihydrogen monoxide. quite reasonable to ban these dangerous substances on similar grounds, or at least detain those engaged in similar acts for further questioning.

Yup, looks like it, and probably does (since outline mode does, more or less, kind of and sometimes.)

While mostly true, use of Kotlin has been rather nice with IntelliJ. Standard library is very small and out-of-the-box IDE support with Gradle plugin helps alot.
There's a much bigger issue, the default iPhone settings has "Send as SMS" off, this means that if a failed iMessage attempt occurs, it will just give up (rather than sending by SMS).

I've tried disabling iMessage on my iphone several times. I then have nothing connected to my iMessage account, but I still miss out on loads of messages from people who have the "Send by SMS" option disabled. Their devices are not told that I am no longer using iMessage.

I went to the apple store to ask about this, and I was told the only solution was to get all my contacts to ensure "Send by SMS" is turned on. Which is frankly absolutely ridiculous!
I love how it works all wrong.

It's like a recursive "This is Bad Idea".

hi all. Could I ask a question about job advice?

I spent 2.5 years at my first job (effectively moved from junior dev to senior). I then took a job at a traveling consulting company (where I was officially promoted, and ran a huge project), but left after 1 year because I couldn't stand traveling that extensively. Then I moved to my current company, where I've been for 9-10 months, but will likely be fired by the new management team that came in, because I'm part of an overbudget project.

Am I fucked? My current plan is to just wait and see if I am let go or not (probably will be), and then go travel for a few months (I'm burned out). But the very first page of this slideshow is that hiring managers look for red flags about multiple short time roles and employment gaps, and I'll have a 1 year, and a < 1 year on my resume.
But in our industry, it's easy to stand out. Spend a weekend or two, make some web app, Android app, or whatever. Maybe make a commit to some open source project, if you are struggling with ideas (in that case, you are capable to work with code written by other people, amazing!). And you are ahead of majority because you demonstrated that you can make something practical, real world.
Eh I definitely would agree with his point, everyone I know who has a net worth > 100 million USD is absolutely miserable. At that point I've noticed what those people want is a real human connection, which is impossible if others are aware of your wealth.
I hope your laptop smells nice.

I'm sure you meant sniffing your network traffic?

I don't think this would impact government spying in any way -- it wouldn't be any easier or any harder.

Just as placing these similar regulations on telephone companies years ago, didn't make tapping phone lines any easier / harder.

I also think it's like a first date in that if it doesn't seem like a match you shouldn't try to change your entire personality in order to be a better fit. Date a bunch at first, and if everyone rejects you that's when you should think about changing.
don't get too excited, eventually they will figure out how to turn them off and lose the footage.
I agree pretty much with these ideas and I actually follow them, still from my dozen or so jobs in the past only one or two came from a "send us your resume" process; the best resume is no resume.

We were all happier in our youth. Not a lot to do with money or position; had to do with being in your 20's?
I think life is actually more about being happy. If that dirt scratcher is happier than the person killing themselves to make some random startup a success, then I think the dirt scratcher has won. You see, when you die you don't "know that you were able to..." You don't know anything, because you are dead. All you have is how you feel right now, because life could end at any moment and you won't know it at all, you'll just be dead and gone and the only thing that will have mattered to you is how you felt while you were alive.

2 and 4 alone are reason enough to use it, nice work.

EDIT: Wow after trying it out it seems like a long-time bug I've been experiencing has been fixed, I'm willing to bet it's not just the clean install either because I tried resetting Firefox multiple times before and it hadn't helped.
noted, done.
I am not American (feel free to ignore my opinion) but this is just a bad joke from someone who seems to be an utmost failure.

Especially in light of last week FBI/NSA/DHS undermining TOR and killing its utility for any dissidents and free speech in authoritarian states. Under his watch the surveillance state has expanded and has become downright creepy

25 years after the fall of the Berlin wall we should be saying "Ich bin ein Ost-Berliner" :(
The Stasi would be proud of the surveillance state that western countries have created with Obama at the helm.

Probably not. Be honest (to yourself and who you are trying to get hired by) about your skill set and explain why you left those companies. Do NOT bad mouth previous employers.

If you're bored, try to find anything other than journalist sites reporting on this. I spent at least five minutes searching and couldn't find anything other than that. Weird. I was hoping to find the mfgr or a data sheet. My guess, looking at the one pix available, is the threaded portion acts as a spring. If you know how a ballscrew works this is kind of a sleeved sprung version of one. Interesting. Probably a little delicate under high loads. Most likely I'll continue to use nylocks and/or traditional lockwashers when I build things, but its and interesting idea.

I wonder how all the patents and trademarks collide vs the "semi-well known" Hytorc nut, which is basically the same idea but with an integral washer at the base. Hytorc's are strange little differentially threaded nuts, so instead of the tension coming from a spring half moon shape, the tension comes from the secondary fine threading. They're kind of expensive, outta my price league, so I'm guessing this new nut is going to be out of my league.

You have little idea what your opportunity costs are.

However, it’s unlikely that the best fit is going to have your ideal background and be willing to spend much time jumping through your hoops.
> you can't go wrong by stirring up hysteria talking about all of the things the NSA could technically do without showing evidence of them actually doing it.

A couple of questions:

* Are you a fan of the "benevolent dictator" ideal? (The idea that forming a dictatorship is ok so long as the dictator has the best interests of the people in mind)

* Do you agree with the NSA's redefinition of the word 'collect' to mean that something is only "collected" when a human see it? If not, then why would you trust people that attempt to redefine common terms to mean things that normal people wouldn't expect in the hopes of deceiving them while appearing to be completely honest and up-front?
Hopefully, this has some real impact. This issue isn't going to be subject to a vote by congress, so this is a place where the president can have some actual clout.
