How does it compare to Appcelerator Titanium? That's also a JavaScript-to-native-UI layer utilizing a JS runtime. http://www.appcelerator.com/titanium/

I know one complaint among many was that wrapping native API in a new framework can limit access to functionality and customization; you're limited to the choices of the framework designer. Another is debugging is harder since native tools don't understand the framework and you're dependent on the tool chain provided by the framework makers.

Well, if they were in any way savvy (which I believe they are), they would sell a machine like that or donate it to another project. In this instance, I imagine, instead of selling/donating they repurposed.
I've made applications using both React and Angular. Qualitatively, Angular is way easier to get started, but React "feels nicer" (it's hard to explain, but because you have to handle a lot of the eventing and message passing yourself, you feel like you understand your own app a lot better. Angular is a framework, with inversion of control -- React is just a library).

IMO, you should use Angular, unless you:

1. Need good performance with over 1000 data bindings

2. Are making a literal SPA (i.e. don't really need URL routing or multiple controllers)

3. Plan to build a long-term rock-solid application (like a backbone for an enterprise)

4. Want to understand exactly what is happening in your app.
I'm curious about two things:

1) Where does this use Key Management Service to encrypt? At the SMTPD? With keys unique to each end user? S/MIME? What?

2) What's the real security model of KMS? Is it using HSMs for keys, or just shipping keys to systems? Does it use any other hardware/platform security features to protect keys, or just basically a "soft HSM" running in Dom0 on each machine? Or something purely network based, and also done in software only?
This can scale but not without a lot of people doing a lot of work that they want to do. And they need to care about the people on the other side; whether they are job candidate you don't hire or employers you don't want to work for.

You cannot care about a resume (because a resume is not a person) or a corporation (because although a corporation is person in the eyes of the law it has no soul). That is why the default way we hire is inhumane and beyond reform.

Caring about strangers is about the most soul-satisfying thing you can do; much better than going to another ball game with your kids. That is why I've taken my kids to my hiring events. (And I am glad to know that at least one job seeker at our Staffup Weekend brought a kid and everyone took turns babysitting.)

Even if you only care about the problem but not the people, once you get going on this approach you'll start caring about people because you cannot help yourself. There is something addictive about that, and addictive things tend to scale whether they are a good idea or not.

This one just happens to be a good idea.

"and build so-called back doors into hardware and software"

It would be nice if the US government had some moral right here to claim for US companies this is unacceptable since any backdoor is an exploit waiting to happen. Sadly, the Executive branch in setting NSA policy has basically screwed us all and sacrificed our safety.

Hi, I migrated from the USA to NZ in the early 90s.

1) Lack of certification could hurt more than lack of university ("college" = high school in NZ). Got Cisco or Redhat certs, or something similar? Also, knowing some Microsoft would not hurt. Many companies mix technologies, and most sysadmins are generalists, I think. That doesn't mean specialists can't make money, but specialists usually have certs.

2) Go to reddit.com/r/newzealand and read the FAQs on the right side of the screen. Don't post anything until you read the FAQs ... it is a NZ custom to mislead people who don't do the basic research.

3) What city are you thinking about? There are sub-reddits for the bigger cities. They have FAQs too and the posters can help you out. Did I mention you should read the FAQs? Those sub-reddits have FAQs too.

4) The other posters have the right idea, I think. Even the Aussie guy. Cost of living in New Zealand is NOT cheap. Living in the USA is mostly cheaper. If making money is a problem ... think carefully here.

5) If you are the paranoid type, remember that NZ is a member of Five Eyes ... we have fairly close spying relations with the USA. Will you be more comfortable here? One plus: religion is less dominant here.

6) Every country is retarded in its own special way. Before you decide to move to a country, research its news sites for a few weeks. That doesn't give you an unbiased view, but go into this decision with a cool head.

To qualify any hosted mail service to handle valuable, confidential data seems difficult. For example:

What are the confidentiality provisions? Can they be changed without your consent? Does Amazon possess cleartext data and metadata? Do they monitor it to collect customer data? Who at Amazon can access it and when? What is their retention policy? Is non-retained data destroyed or just left on the storage medium until overwritten? How will they respond to subpoenas, warrants, and similar requests from counterparties in lawsuits or from government? And perhaps most importantly, how able are they to execute their policies and what deters Amazon from violating them (i.e., what is the penalty?)?

Is there any service that satisfies these requirements?
It took the "twin shocks" (both the atomic bomb and the Soviet invasion of Manchuria) to convince Japan to surrender. Even then, the supreme council was split 3-3, and the emperor had to decide. And even after the emperor decided, there was a coup attempt to with intent to prevent surrender. (Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surrender_of_Japan).

Either the bomb or the Soviet attack, by itself, arguably would not have been enough.

If your mail is encrypted, how do you search it?

EDIT:

That is, assuming the mail is stored on the server and it's encrypted, how do you search it efficiently?

It does not seem efficient to download every byte of mail, decrypt it, and search it on your local machine (especially a phone). Perhaps you could build an index locally, but could you keep it updated? And even that requires downloading and reading every byte at least once.

This is something I've always wondered about encrypting hosted email.
Amazon's size basically guarantees that if they offer such a service, there will ALSO be a backup copy encrypted with Three-Letter-Agency key.

You can go under the radar when you are LavaBit small (and then, only until you have a single high-profile user). But not when you are Amazon.
After trying for 3 weeks to make AWS WorkSpaces work for my company, I can still confidently say that Amazon doesn't get it. Their solutions are more "Go to Home Depot and get the parts to make a desk", whereas Google Apps is "go to Ikea". The two solutions are neighbors, but not everyone is ready to buy the individual boards and cut them down to size.

Yes exactly. I'm not at all saying (as someone else suggested) that we will return to a pre-internet "amish" lifestyle. I'm saying that I notice how many people (in the tech field) are yearning for a much less mechanical, pressured, and "hype-obsessed" technical world. Where we are not slaves of technology, but where tech is understood as something that serves people.

Google for Weddings
And why would they? Is this because they are (legally) obliged to filter content? If this is an actual problem then I suppose one way to deal with it is to either hire more staff or restrain the number of videos users can upload -- except the first one doesn't scale and the second one will not be popular with YouTube users. And given that Google is all about doing everything they do at a massive scale, neither of the two suggestions fit their weltanschauung.
Yes, there a checkbox that enables the vibration when the alarm goes off. I am not aware of a wi-fi enabled vibration alarm, that would be an awesome product.
Of course, but not the timing. The story around the bomb is that it convinced the Japanese to surrender without a land invasion of the home islands.

Certainly if we didn't have a large conventional military, which is pretty much the exact same as saying the Japanese were winning the war, then they wouldn't have been surrendering, since countries don't surrender just before winning (usually).

The question is whether they surrendered specifically out of fear of nuclear weapons, or weather it was because the Soviets invaded Manchuria. I'm sure neither was great news, but it is not clear why they would be especially worried about the Soviets declaring war, I mean they were at war with us and not surrendering for years, and we had 108 Aircraft Carriers!

Hi, I'm just reading through the ReactJS docs for the first time, and I found something peculiar. Let me explain.

So, as I understand ReactJS invokes a render() method defined by the user (programmer), and the result of that is diff'ed to previous results of the same method, and as a result, the DOM is modified.

I can understand this, but... The DOM is already incrementally rendered by the browser. That is, changes to the DOM are not direct, but are performed by the browser in a way that is as efficient as possible. So, why the need for a render() method?

Also, the render() method itself could be quite big and thus could take a long time to run, and almost completely nullify all advantages of incrementally updating only the display.

So, as you can see, I'm a bit confused...

> You can't really declare nonvaccination to be indisputable evil without comparing the probabilities to actions and circumstances that may be just as harmful but which we allow.

Sure I can. That's just another version of the "we shouldn't go into space before we solve world hunger" argument.

Even though smog is a larger and more pernicious problem, we should still try to solve the smaller problems that come behind it.

(and, of course, I don't think anybody is saying nonvaccination is indisputable evil. I assume that's hyperbole)

Thank you. This is one of the most atrocious and socially unconcious things I've ever seen. Free food and housing for people set to make 100k/year while homeless people are in the street and families kicked out of their homes so the techbros can take over the Mission. This is sickening and fucked up beyond measure.

I don't think you always need to know exactly what's going on. Angular is a lot like Rails in my mind -- there is "magic", but it makes things easier.

Personally, I never thought Angular was very hard to understand. The main problem is that the documentation is sometimes outdated. If you are familiar with server-side MVC, I think Angular will come naturally to you.

But, if my post sounds biased towards React, it's because I prefer it. I would use Angular for things you want to do in four days and never touch again, but that's about it.
Wow, I loled.

This uses Amazon KMS. Amazon KMS is PC backed ("HSA"), which means all your mail is encrypted to a key which it now takes two Amazon employees acting under court order to get access to, rather than a court order and one employee.

Google's internal controls are at least this robust, and they have similar key management systems internally.

There might be a reason to buy Amazon WorkMail, but it's not for security advantages over Gmail.
>The videos themselves aren't dangerous, and removing them won't stop the violence

I actually take some issue with that. I think publicizing violence can be a cause of violence (the same critique could be applied to 24/7 media coverage of a shooting tragedy, which is possibly just what the shooter wanted). That's really not a point worth having an argument about, I just thought I'd throw it out.

I think what that sentence actually means is "it's a threat to the edifice of safety we've created and potentially to the usability of our service", i.e. "People want to pretend this kind of stuff doesn't exist and certainly don't want to see it when they are watching cat videos." Honestly, I somewhat agree. If I thought I would stumble across a beheading video when watching YouTube, I'd probably skip it entirely.
The majority of firemen cannot afford to live in SF. Half of city personnel live in the burbs, on the other side of a bridge.
Eh, it's the start of a negotiation. It "gets the mule's attention", and if they were thinking of giving you single digits of equity as I gather is not uncommon you've saved yourself time.

It also demands respect. They may not give it to you, but if something actually happens you'll be starting on the right foot, and the author claims this does not turn everyone who approaches him off.

It also gets the big issues right out there: how much is an idea and anything else they're bringing to the table worth vs. how much is the technical effort to make it live.

I actually agree fully (thanks for the link) and that doesn't remove your agency in picking the tools and when and how you use them.

People need to be more aware of the cognitive results of using their particular selection of tools.

I believe "adding backdoors" is exactly what they meant.

In the context of China, I think you can interpret "controllable" as more than just controllable by the companies that operate the systems, but the government as well. And, the backdoors are necessary for that.
I understand Facebook Groups for iOS uses it, but how mature is the current component library (compared to Ionic for example)?

There were ~27 big carriers available.
The problem isn't power (well it is; but that can be overcome), it's spectrum and pricing.

Pricing: Most people in the US are charged for the data they use on their mobile devices, and thus would not want P2P used on their phone because it costs them money.

Spectrum: P2P is not a very efficient distribution model in a world where most clients are on asynchronous connections. Asynchronous connections exist because transmission spectrum is limited, so to maximize spectrum usage, telcos allocate more spectrum for downstream transmissions than upstream. But if everyone's phone is chattering all the time with P2P traffic, you're going to saturate the spectrum and reduce overall data speeds. This is why mobile is still charged on a usage basis: it discourages overly chatty applications.
Try inheriting a project with lots of "magic". Or even just revisiting one that you did a long time ago. It sucks.

I believe you that Angular was easy for you to learn. I was just saying I've never heard of anyone else feeling the same way.
I admit it is weird. However, the primary purpose of the tool is to eliminate all that copy-paste and also avoid taking a full screenshot that contains irrelevant aspects as well as going to through the hassle of uploading the screenshot yourself. Whether or not it achieves this purpose is a whole other story. :)
If you've ever submitted an iOS app and had a youtube frame/etc that allowed unfiltered searches, the app submission team will nearly always look up "Violent," and reject the app based on the ability to look up Violent videos.

Violent videos just seems to be a trigger point for a lot of politics/companies/etc.

I remember the first time I got that, and went, "well, yeah, you can look up puppies too." But, hey, maybe someone is downloading our app just to get through some youtube filters their parents set up.
I know on networks such as Weibo, text as images is one method to get around automated censorship filters. Granted such images will likely be deleted by human filters, but not before being able to reach a wider audience.

Audio is never recorded by Luna.

We have a microphone in the main enclosure but we don't have an audio codec which means we cannot record the audio. The only thing we can tell is whether there's been a loud noise or some sustained vibration at a specific frequency (snoring).

With the bed sensors we definitely pick up the movements of an intercourse but that is something you can only see by looking at raw data. Before sending them to the cloud, all the information about your movements get aggregated in sleep phases, this means that "sex" becomes "you are awake in bed".

A 3rd party app connected via wi-fi to the device can ask the user permission to access raw data from the device (much like facebook apps can ask for different permissions).
Hope this doesn't mean Hugo will wither and die.
You misspelled Google. Most of AWS are products that have a consistent user base and profitable almost from day one.

Yes. Good points raised. I guess the lack of these capabilities is an "expensive" tradeoff for the slight convenience.

Judging by the comments on this blog post (https://medium.com/five-hundred-words/hacking-the-tweet-stre...), there is obviously no consensus as to whether this trend is good or bad. Some hate it, some find it convenient.
