If she had her own mail server, it's probably fair to assume she could have set it up as her outbound mail server and to use TLS of some sort when connecting to it.
> One of the things I found frustrating about Nextdoor when I used it a year ago was that it defines the neighborhood for you.

That's not true. When you set up a neighborhood (if you are the first to do so) you can define the neighborhood house-by-house or by drawing a boundary. I don't know how they handle boundary disputes.

Regarding subgroups, you can create discussion groups within the neighborhood, and make access limited / invite only. So you could have a street by street set of groups, so each group would get general neighborhood plus street only content.
This is particularly true for universities like York University. (For those who didn't read the article, it's a university in Toronto and is the subject of the article.) Born in a more socialist era, the University put little effort into building up an endowment fund, since the government (i.e. "the people") would simply provide all of the money necessary to run the institution. As government funding has decreased over the last few decades, they're making greater efforts to build larger endowments, however, it'll take them a long time to catch up.
Could this replace something like XJC for generating POJOs from an XML Schema? With XJC the classes are created at build time, but this could allow them to be fully dynamic allowing schema changes in a running app.

I didn't miss your point. The divisiveness that follows from convincing people that everything is terrible isn't just bi-directional, it also divides many people (like you and me) into a helpless feeling "nobody speaks for me" group.

I don't know what you should do, but current my strategy (as you can see) is to call out what I see as unhelpfully hyperbolic rhetoric (both negative and positive, though that's rare these days) when I talk to people and point out good things about our society while not papering over things I'd like to see improved.

There are quite a few axes on which to measure how well things are going, and the adequate representation of your (and my) interests is just one of them. I totally agree the system doesn't do a great job of that, but it does a good job of lots of more important things.

Not answering the question but I think homework should be, at least in part about creating good study habits so that you prepare high-schoolers for university.

They shouldn't last too long as to not overwhelm them as also avoid involving parents.
The damning part is that her emails weren't stored in State Department records.
As an aside, cheers to @pdrummond for taking some frank feedback in stride.
I'm a physics professor at a liberal arts college, and yes, we do very much value teaching here. Research is important, too, as a way for faculty to remain engaged with their disciplines. But we actively look for ways to get undergraduates involved in our research, which makes it a teaching tool, too (a bit of an apprenticeship model). I like to think that our values lead to more reliably good educational outcomes at the undergraduate level than larger universities tend to manage (but it's hard to even figure out what to measure to verify that).

(I do know, though, that I saw two fantastic teachers in my graduate department get denied tenure while I was there because (as we all gathered) their stellar research records might possibly have been even better if they'd spent less time on teaching.)
Give me a centralized system that allows me to branch as easily as git, and has git stash.

Is Git crap? Yep, unfortunately people went with github over bitbucket, despite bitbucket having a much better pricing model and as a result git is what people use for a DVCS.

I would love for somebody to write a centralized version control system that would be a complete replacement for SVN, the way SVN replaced CVS but until somebody does a DVCs is what we have.
Think of it as a first pass. Yes, you'll have to go over it again anyways, but the 'flags' it pulls out give a little bit of landmarks and a tiny bit of extra awareness that you may have missed. It's probably going to have a error rate much higher than yours, but it's errors have a chance of being not yours and it may catch things you missed. The real question is how much better of a lawyer does it make you? Can it save you 1 hour a day, 1 hour a week, 1 hour a month? And if it can, how much does that cost you in terms of billable hours or whatever your rates are like?
Interestingly I find the default behavior more helpful. Usually if there are any declarations or some init code at the top and some use of those later, I would want to view the top of the file in one column and work or edit in another part without having both scroll synchronously.

Sometimes I have the same file open in 3 or 4 columns if I need to see what is happening in multiple parts of the code in front of me.
That was fun for five minutes.

Out of curiosity, Rust was first built on libuv, then libuv was removed, now mio looks like an API very similar to libuv, but not using libuv. What were the decisions behind this and why is it better than not using an existing lib that should be easy to plug into Rust via FFI since it is small and in C?
Agreed.
University administrators definitely have an effect. There has been a doubling[0] in the number of administrative posts in the US and they cost a lot[1]. It seems to be a continued corporatization of the tertiary sector, whereby management and administration slowly swallows the old system of a university run by faculty. A good reporting on this is in [2].

The idea of private citizens both being able to investigate companies for wrong doing and earn income for their work appeals to me. No lawsuit, no legal process. After doing some investigations, just some quick transactions on a trading account, and a blog post later.
On an $/hours-taught basis, yes, I'm sure! Not judging, but I see the appeal of this to the university.

It should be noted that the original title contained an "I quit my job" affectation, which may have biased the original upvotes for the submission. (which is why the affectation was removed)

If the submission was simply a link to the service instead of a story, I would imagine the results would be much different.

Except for when you click the 'refresh' button 20 times in your e-mail app and the e-mail still hasn't arrived. And then you check your spam folder, maybe it went there? Nope. And then for some reason, ten minutes later the e-mail shows up.

I don't know whether it's sites that add outgoing e-mails to a backed-up queue, or if it's an anti-spam heuristic somewhere adding the delay, or delay on the servers of your own webmail service, or whatever combination of these, but unfortunately it's certainly not always as simple as "switch to your email app, click the link".
A project like Titanfall isn't going to be able to treat an engine as a blackbox library. They're going to spend a lot of time tailoring that engine to their needs.

Anytime a game developer is asked to publicly comment on using an external party's engine, that developer is probably a producer and wants to make their project look good. They don't want their game to be seen on the same level as games that CAN get away with treating the engine as a blackbox. The exact reasoning they give (or internet apocrypha) are generally not very useful to understanding the changes they do make.

This looks really neat right now I use NVAlt hotkey'd to Cntr+1 to hide/show and that get's synced to Simplenote which I use on my iPhone. I have a "temp" note where I store short-lived snippets, urls, etc and I normally just do something like:

#Reason I have this saved

....

I'd be interested in trying this out though to see how it compares. The one thing I really like about my setup is everything is synced to my mobile phone but I rarely need my "temp" note on mobile so not having mobile access to notes left with this app might not be that bad.
It's a parenting fail if you can't control a situation to the point where your child is experiencing emotional distress to the point of kicking and screaming.

This is an incredibly broad and judgemental comment. Kids experience "emotional distress" all the time, without it being a "parenting fail". Many kids go through a "kicking and screaming" phase, and it takes time to work through this phase.
I read, and was perplexed by, this description of git as a "DVCS building tool" the other day:

http://lucumr.pocoo.org/2015/2/17/ui-and-hidden-consistency/

Among other things, I hadn't seen anyone call git consistent before. Still, it made a good case for a project like gitless - because the data structures that back git are very well defined and well specified, the standard command set is more of a suggestion than a necessity.
Does anyone know how bad this is in fields other than the humanities ?
No it doesn't. It has a standard username/password/forgotten email me setup.

What et1337 means is that you never even create a password, you literally login by putting just your email in, switching to your email, and clicking the link provided.

Given that most sites require you to do this when you first create an account to prove you own the email anyway, what was the point of having a password?
My point is that no amount of domain authority/marketing/etc will drive much traffic to "Construction causes traffic delays on Nagar Road". Even if everyone who commutes on that road reads your article, ad revenue - cost of reporter is probably negative.
The answer to that is very simple: most endowment gifts are earmarked, seems that donors don't grant blanket trust to to the administrators of institutions. And then there's Princeton (https://www.google.com/search?q=princeton+wilson+school+endo... and why am I not surprised Wikipedia has no coverage of the most infamous college endowment diversion case in modern history?).

Tuition is golden, for it can be spent on anything. And gifts earmarked for tuition relief....
That's hardly a problem, these days.
I second the oppinion on Google+. I have a pretty large number of G+ 'contacts', some in circles that are completly muted.

I cannot search now thru my old telephone contacts, I get hundert of hits from some random guys which are in some google circles.
EDIT. I see now that the non-G+ people are coming at the top.
Not necessarily. A much more important issue to me is the fact that top-ranking government officials are using e-mail for official business at all. If there's any reason to be concerned that Clinton was using an insecure account for official e-mails, that implies that other government officials use e-mail to communicate sensitive information. Since e-mail is inherently insecure (unless you're using GPG or PGP or some other kind of message level encryption, which they're probably not), this is the real problem here.
Congrats. That may be the dumbest bitcoin-related headline ever created (and the competition wasn't weak to begin with).
Unfortunately, this doesn't work if the you forget you applied the context.
Nice, I've been surprised the ATMega chips have lasted as long as they have given how much more powerful ARM Cortex-M chips are, and they are about the same price. For sp332 there are three "general" groups of the Cortex M series,

M0/M0+/M1/M2 - ARMv6 - basic peripherals

M3/M4 - ARMv7 - optional floating point

M7 - Basically everything on steroids

I find the M4 feels like a sort of blend between the 80286 and the 68010.
It would help to see a demo.

Absolutely, the AVRs have a huge hobbyist community, but they have really aged.

I can see why people who are well-versed in AVRs and their tool chain stick to it, but everyone starting today won't find them compelling.
Have you considered adding logins? :)

But seriously, this is literally the problem that logins were designed to solve. With a login, you are defining an external concept of "user" that is distinct from the device.

Available security factors are: something you are, something you possess, something you know. Right now, you're using something you possess (the device). The problem is, if I lose the device, I've lost my security credential, and no longer "own" my account.

To fix this, you could collect an email, and when installing your app, you could prompt the user if they want to use an existing account or create another. But then, you probably want to add some security in the form of a password... and then you've created a login.
I'm not sure that conclusion necessarily follows here. This wasn't just a link to a product, but a story, starting with, "I quit my job and sacrificed a lot to get here."

Something being is interesting or worth talking about doesn't necessarily mean that thing is valuable (or a good idea for a company). An upvote doesn't necessarily mean, "I like this," but rather, "this is interesting" (or whatever other metric one uses when determining whether to upvote).

I upvoted the OP because I thought it was interesting that someone had quit their job and sacrificed so much to work on something. I didn't look farther than the Medium post because I feel like Slack already has this angle covered.

Or it could be that I'm just not the right audience or I don't get it.
Sorry, but I really don't see how that is relevant to my point that being part of a community where people know you and your children lowers the risk that letting your children roam independently is perceived to be (or is actually) negligent.

Your thing seems to be a different problem. It's good that people trust people they know. It's bad that people betray that trust in sometimes horrible ways, but the solution isn't to be suspicious of everyone… Right?
From my understanding in the Politico article[1], it appears the server was at the Clinton residence:

"And since the Secret Service was guarding Clinton’s home, an email server there would have been well protected from theft or a physical hacking."

It's just poor reporting. I think they're misunderstanding their sources. I agree with you that the source is DNS, and they mean, "her email domain" was reconfigured, rather than her server.
This is a really great idea, was there anything specific to OS X that allowed you to get the contextual information you need, or do you think you'll be able to port it to other operating systems in the future?
"Does this mean the login is dead? Of course not." Ugh.
"The takeaway is that part of what makes Indian food so appealing is the way flavors rub up against each other."

The article seems to be a missive from the Capt Obvious dept, just apparently "datafied" with some study. I did not learn anything new from it, neither do I agree that Indian cuisine is necessarily more complicated compared to cooking from other regions of the world. Glad some people somewhere enjoyed the exercise of collating ingredients and flavours, I guess.
Yeah this is pretty great. Good work and good result. My only caveat would be unscrupulous people spreading unfounded rumors or uninformed opinions passing as fact which could result in innocent companies suffering from lack or rigor on the did of citizen investigators. At least it appears sixty minutes did son of their own investigation --althouh I imagine they went in with guilt in mind, which worked out in this case, but can result in different outcomes in other cases.
Middle man has come to have such a bad connotation these days. I think majority of people imagine middle men like some crooks who make a phone call or two and take a 20% cut for no work at all.

No, it has nothing do with scope qualifiers. This is the same mechanism that used e.g. to declare recurrent structures.
I never ask the money questions directly, during the interview. It's a red flag for some companies, who seem to think that people should love the work and be paid for it as a happy coincidence. Salary negotiation happens after the company decides it wants you, and then you come in with a sack of potential nickels and dimes in benefits that they can give you in lieu of higher base pay. But you save all that until it is already clear that they want you.

Instead of asking about the salary range, ask about what local neighborhoods the employees live in. Look up the home prices later, on a real estate site.

Instead of asking about promotion paths, ask about how the roles of the employees have changed as the company has matured.

Instead of asking about relocation assistance, ask about how much experience the company has in hiring non-local candidates.

You can also ask about what the <position title> can do individually to increase the revenues of the company. That answer will give you an idea about how flexible they are on salaries for <position title>.
While, broadly speaking, these arguments against the Ph.D system can be valid, that has more to do with individual institutions watering down the true meaning of a Ph.D. This is a flaw with the implementation, not the system itself.

But this is also why a Ph.D from MIT or others carries a much bigger weight than a Ph.D from University of <No one has heard of this place>. Those institutions are trusted to only hand Ph.D's to those who have earned them.

I think people generally underestimate how much technology existed in the late 19th and early 20th century. The first transatlantic telegraph cable was laid in 1858. Hydroelectric power plants date to the 1880's. The commuter train I used to take from Westchester to NYC was electrified in 1907.
Yes they would. They would be handed over to the National Archives as a matter of course (except the classified ones, etc.)

It's still possible that they could be handed over from her personal account, but this bypasses the various controls that are supposed to be in place to ensure the fullest possible disclosure.

I told my children to do exactly enough homework to understand the subject, then stop. No busy work; no endless worksheets. If they weren't sure they understood, just ask.

You see, we had a busy family, with sports and Scouts and hobbies and trips. We didn't abdicate our life planning to their school teacher(s). We planned, and learned and performed and worked. If homework fit into that, fine. If not, fine.

Teacher, take your 8 hours and use them efficiently. Lecture less and do problems more. Have study time at school. Because you get those 8 hours and no more.

How did it turn out? One former soldier, back at University studying Mechanical Engineering. One MSCS grad at a startup in Silicon Valley. One musician (played cello for city orchestra in High School; soloed on NPR, you may have heard him) turned CS in college.
I think it really depends on the initial state of the code, and on who is doing the refactoring.

If this code base was in good shape to start with, this is probably just illustrating that there is a point of diminishing returns on refactoring.
