Correct, 5 weeks. I got up to 4 weeks in the US eventually.

The strangest thing for me in the US is how many people are convinced they cannot take 2 weeks at a time, and how many are leaving days on the table each year.

Another, possible answer is: Because transistors are really cheap, and energy only a bit expensive. But that wasting saves competent people time, what's a very expensive and limited resoure.

Why does everybody ignore the obvious explanation, that you'd get from the mouth of any participant, for a convoluted one that only fits the criterium of political correctness?

I've been trying on and off to get IPv6 working at home, but the problem I keep running into is poor performance from tunnels. I have service via Wide Open West which is great for IPv4, but they have no plans to support IPv6. So, I try using a tunnel...

Both HE.net and SixXS are so incredibly slow that I get >1 second pings to something which is 30ms away via IPv4. The tunnel end point is only ~50ms away, so I can only see the latency as being within the tunnel provider...

I really, really wish that I had a native IPv6 connection at home, but I don't want to switch to Comcast, which is the only IPv6 option for me.
The mingling of HTML/JS in React I find unattractive (at best) but I'll have to look into React some more.
I didn't notice at first the slider to pick the top limit -- that's very neat, you should emphasize visually it. My firsts thoughts were "cool idea but top 1000 is waaaay too much" and that thought stuck with me.

Also, might be cool to have a estimate of the reading amount you're subscribing to when you slide (eg "top X == about Y posts a week")

Basic premise, people buy from people they know. This is largely a sales process.

Research early stage companies in the specific market/space you're interested in. Reach out to the principals involved (including investors) on a professional networking basis. Get to know them.

While I don't have any plans to upgrade my use of the DRF, I supported this project at the advocate level because I'm so thankful to have tools like this available. Thanks again Tom for all your hard work.
Thanks, that's fairly new.
I very much agree with this. I like to think of a KS as a sort of market research: do people want/need this? And people spend/give some amount they're comfortable with spending. If I spent, say a hundred dollars, and got a sticker and a open source piece of software that I needed -- that's great value! If the author(s) suddenly became independently wealthy, I'd think that was great! Keep doing good stuff!

(I'm obviously extrapolating here, this KS went nowhere as far -- but successful (as in: funded, and delivered) KS' are always interesting IMHO).

We're looking for highly experienced, entrepreneurially-minded builders to help:

* Dream up and build products

* Develop and perfect a common platform and pipeline

* Create open-source tools to help others launch products

Current positions:

* Senior Front End Engineer (http://www.thefactory.com/pdfs/sr_frontend.pdf)

Connexity - Camarillo, CA (Los Angeles area)

Join as a Rails and Front-End Developer to continue to build out our online advertising platform. We work at a scale where seemingly "small" improvements can have a big impact. In the last 24 hours, we served over 117 million impressions and processed several billion total transactions. (Nice numbers going into Cyber Monday!).

You'd take ownership of the Rails app, which is the primary means of managing hundreds of campaigns running through our platform. This role is a great way to learn advertising tech as well as other tools. You'd get exposure to Redis, Hbase, PostgreSQL, and Scala. In other words, this isn't just a boring, run-of-the-mill CRUD app.

Our team is sharp and works well together. While we enjoy perks such as paid lunch and unlimited vacation, the culture of our team recognizes and respects the importance of your non-work life. Also, Ventura county is a pretty nice place to live/work.
Unless you prefer to start with a HR-oriented chat, you can reach me (a senior dev on the team) at dlarsen@connexity.com. Informal inquiries are great.

Higher expectations are the major issue: undo being the canonical example. The general problem of distributed system data synchronization is another: things tend to demo well enough on a local development instances, and then fall to pieces in the unreliable field. Showing synchronization status, merging changes in a semantically correct way, useful UX affordances around all this, etc. is all very difficult work.

Of course it all depends on the domain and architecture of the app in question, so counter-examples and exceptions are easy enough to find.
Heck, there are paid, commercial software suites that are far, far, far, cheaper than this.

Matasano Security - Chicago. New York City. Sunnyvale.
Job Title: Application Security Consultant

-- .- - .- ... .- -. --- ... . -.-. ..- .-. .. - -.--

Once a professor shared a piece of career advice with me. "Don't call yourself a coder," he said, "anyone can learn to code, but programming takes real skill." His words have stuck with me since. Coding was, in his description, the mere act of producing something a computer can interpret and act upon. Programming, however, seeks elegance and simplicity through considered design and thought that transcends the code itself. While both take skill, the goals are different and they can be thought of as distinct disciplines.

Application Security, I've come to believe, is yet another discipline with a slightly different focus. 'Coders' focus almost exclusively on iterating until they achieve a desired result. 'Programmers' might test and refine to improve performance and reduce resource consumption. But with an Application Security perspective, we instead look at unintended functionality and edge cases that give rise to problems; 'What if' scenarios involving abuse cases that weren't part of the original design. It's yet another way of looking at the same application, with a different goal and different outcome.

At Matasano, we don't build software, we break it. We find, exploit, document, and prioritize flaws so the application's developers can address them. We identify when security controls are effective, and note areas for improvement. We review use cases, identify abuse cases, and help guide future development efforts. We work across a wide variety of applications ranging from simple web apps, to complex hardware appliances. From HTTP to proprietary encrypted protocols, and everything in between. As a team, we're as comfortable with ROP chains and memory corruption vulnerabilities as Cross-Site Scripting and SQL Injection. As individuals, we excel in our areas of focus while cross-training and broadening our skills. We're among the leaders in our industry and community, and give back through research, tools, and practice environments.

If improving the state of software security while kicking up some dirt in the process seems like fun, check us out. If you're fueled by pride of finding unexpected solutions, we have plenty of challenging problems for you. If you're not content to be a 'coder' and long for something more fulfilling, get in touch.

Their metric of what a great work is seems to be entirely based on how many papers cite it.
CA Minimum wage is $9/hr.

80 hours/wk * 52 weeks * $9 = $37,440 pre-taxes

> Now, I make those payments and (I think) I can deduct them from my taxes.

If you use your vehicle for only business purposes, then yes, you can. If you mix personal and business use, you have to determine the percentage of use, and you can deduce the business percentage.

Since your business involves your car better than 40 hours/week, you should be able to deduct most of the payments.

> Granted, the take home was much higher at the beginning of the year (avg 1400/wk) than it is now.

So wait, do you make 1000/wk now before or after you deduct expenses and taxes or before? I'm assuming that's your pretax/expense earn?

Regardless, if it's working for you and you enjoy it, that's cool. I just hope you're modeling your expenses and taxes correctly and don't get freaked out come tax season.

Most people I know who 1099 get it grossly wrong every year. Which is why it's recommended you do quarterly taxes.

> Both v6 and the linux stack are privacy-friendly.

Yes and no.

The privacy extensions will create new addresses, but they will always belong to the same /64. To my knowledge, TWC will allocate a /64, but there's no guarantee that power cycling your modem will generate a new /64[0]. I believe other ISPs work the same way - they may give you a new /64, but they're not required to and don't guarantee it in the SLA. And most people won't power cycle their modems often anyway, which means they could have the same /64 for months on end.

If we're talking about online tracking, it's very easy for trackers to just throw their hands up and treat all addresses within a /64 as if they represent a single user + device. This isn't completely accurate, but it's no less accurate than IP address tracking with IPv4.

Furthermore, I am unaware of any reliable commercial VPN providers that currently provide IPv6 connections (at least over OpenVPN[1]), so if you have dual-stack connectivity, your IPv6 connection can compromise your privacy even for your IPv4 connection[2].

[0] Technically this is true for ipv4 as well, but due to the relative scarcity of addresses you're less likely to get a pseudo-static ipv4 address.

[1] OpenVPN now supports IPv6 clients, though I don't know of any actual deployments of this. PPTP is IPv4-only.

[2] I think this blog post is sadly still accurate: https://blog.dave.io/2011/06/vpn-ipv6-privacy/
These instances are exactly why it is worth chasing your dreams. We are all going to die, the issue is only _when_.

Don't you want to have spent your time doing something meaningful to you?
