Surely, this must have been common knowledge at the State Dept. Wouldn't they have noticed that her emails came from a domain that wasn't dos.gov? And if she was communicating with other State Department officials, wouldn't the emails they received from her at their dos.gov email be part of the public record anyway, defeating the purpose of running your own server?

The tuition and fees are being used for things that have traditionally been funded by endowments rather than for things that have been previously funded by endowments. Schools with small endowments are expanding via fees in areas where other schools have used endowments to expand in the past.

For example, Ben Hill Griffin gave money to the University of Florida [endowed school] to expand their football stadium. Down the road in Orlando, University of Central Florida used student fees to build an on-campus football stadium. It did not have one previously -- nor a football team to fill it until relatively recently (the DI team was also built largely based on student fees).

All that construction requires fundraising and together generate lots of administrative positions, and that's where rising fees and tuition go.
This is why I love math. Rigorous definitions and pattern reuse, distilling concepts to their essential features.
1. Because he shared classified information with someone who did not have clearance to have it, which is against the law.

2. I don't know, do you? My guess is that, yes, she did.

3. It depends on whether shared classified information with anybody who did not have clearance. My guess is that, no, she didn't, or this would already be a much bigger story.

Using a personal email address is not the same as sharing classified information.
I'm not sure why anyone would buy an Arduino considering products like Teensy 3.1 or Maple. Maybe the slightly lower cost is what is keeping Arduino alive.
Because it's a huge pain in the butt. As you note, most residential ISPs prohibit it.

You also need to take steps to ensure that your email will get to where it is going. That means configuring authentication protocols like SPF, and taking steps like using a fresh IP address for your mail server, and warming it up so remote ISPs begin to trust it. For most email providers, the default status of new sending IPs is "suspect." You can't just stand up an email server and expect your emails to hit everyone's inbox.

This does not even get into the security aspects that apply to running any server on the Internet.

Legal protections are one of the only reasons to bother that I can think of. When your email is hosted by Google, Google can provide it to legal authorities without telling you. When it lives in your home or business, you will know if someone is asking for it.

Her emails may have looked like they did come from dos.gov. It's trivial to spoof a From header.
Ah, then we are in agreement!
But the headline should differentiate because there are more than one Clinton in the public sphere. "H. Clinton" would have been enough.
Right, but I'm showing interest by participating in the convo in general. What I mean are the cliche questions which are purely designed for me to show that I've reseaeched your company except that I already know the answer as I've researched your company.
Also a humble request.

I literally went through 3 developers and too much money until I was so luck to find @jimmyhoughjr.

Jimmys primary expertise is iOS but I convinced him to help me out on this project for the money I could afford.

Jimmy could use some freelance work as he has been out of work for while now (and live in the mid-west).

So if you need an extra hand on som iOS work don't hesitate to connect with him. He is a really nice guy and he is one of the main reasons Ghostnote even is anything today.
It's slow to open the note. I click on the ghost, and it doesn't open right away. It's not long, but noticeable, and distracting. Also, there is no click feedback. This wouldn't be a problem if the note opened right away, but with no visible feedback, it feels like clicking does nothing.
Administrators and staff is the likely answer. From 1975 to 2005 there was no change in faculty-to-student ratios, but students per administrator dropped from 84 to 68 (and pay increased) and students per professional staffer dropped from 50 to 21.

And there's the M0+, which is the newest in the M0 family.

The M0+ has 2/3 the dynamic power consumption of the M0, some nice features of the M3 and M4, fewer Flash accesses (which lowers the power even more), and better debugging.

Basically, if you are looking for the ultimate in low power, choose an M0+.

The Atmel D21 on the Zero is an M0+, and Atmel has just released an L21, which is an even lower power M0+.
You don't think small kids (5 and under) can go from 0 to 60 in two seconds because of some "emotional distress" such as being denied ice cream at the zoo?

In my experience, children attempt to manipulate parents by throwing fits from the ages of about 2-5, no matter what. If you don't spoil your child, they will grow out of it. But, they're going to do it.

And, especially for new parents, failing is very common. I wouldn't judge them too harshly.

You spent 15 minutes looking at the beta version of a product, and you've made the decision that the creator is wasting their time? Have you considered that, having thought about it for months, they might understand the problem domain significantly better than you?

What if the product actually has tremendous value, but suffers from a marketing problem? That's a pretty easy problem to fix.

Rather than using your severely limited understanding to encourage the creator to throw the baby out with the bathwater, you should focus on tangible, solvable problems, or just keep your mouth shut.
I know that most schools don't have sizable endowments, but I also don't think most of them are diverting tuition towards their endowments.
Interesting. I wouldn't think you would need a "natural intuition" for big O. You just need to know what it is and how to determine it. It would be like having a "natural intuition" for long division.

This seems like it would be annoying when you misspell a branch name. Maybe something like "gl branch -c/--create"?

That's more like saying "RAM is not durable storage, everything must be saved to disk for durability." It doesn't mean it's OK to run the office solely in RAM, it means the opposite.
There's nothing unusual or evil about Paul Allen in particular. But there is a disastrous trend at reducing public funding for research and education and pretending that that a few volunteer enthusiast or fund raisers can compensate for it. Or that the amusement of and for the increasingly super rich are adequate technical compensation.

Such much so that a company devoted to amusement rides into sub orbit is often called the superior of NASA and the word philanthropy now, incredibly, applies to the subject mater of this article. With a posting worded as over the top as this one, it's an opportunity to clearly point out this silliness.

Calls to additional action are quite right as you say. But likewise, pointing these issues out here does not preclude other action.

>Yeah, there's always some guy who says this

I certainly hope so. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_gadfly
This is needlessly reductive and misses the point: the issue isn't saturation, the issue is that OP hasn't identified the USP of the product. Zuck knew full well that the USP of The Facebook was helping students get laid (or at least, find out more about that pretty boy/girl in your class). Larry knew full well that the USP of Google was that PageRank helped identify better quality web sites.

OP doesn't really know what the product is himself, so cannot begin to differentiate.
I'm okay if she ran Postfix. If she ran Sendmail, I have issues.
This sounds great; I wish more parents would advocate for their children in the face of poorly-designed homework policies.

At my university, it was $6000 per course. I don't know if it's gone up. Considering that a TA (in STEM courses) was about half that, it isn't much.

I hate to be a jerk about this, but this isn't a rhetorical question. Are there any simple instructions? 1 2 3 and you're fixed? Why didn't this come on the same page as the disclosure? (that last question can be taken as rhetorical, for now)

That isn't very simple either, and it's only for nginx.

This is all asking me to learn about ciphers to patch a security hole (and know for sure that it's patched). I don't think it's unreasonable to expect otherwise for a security hole. A few people voted up my parent comment so I don't think I'm alone in this.

For me personally, the only important thing I have is on Heroku, which I presume has its own set of instructions, which they somehow haven't executed themselves or emailed us about yet. Unless this also affects SSH?
I don't see a reason that you would be detered from submitting the same FIOA request for these emails. I expect the likelihood of getting a response and a set of documents sent to you would be the same as it would be if her emails were hosted through the Department of State's mail server.

Having worked with / for the US government, encryption and signing email is actually fairly common.

For the most part people use a 2+ factor authentication and their smart cards have private keys. EX: http://www.cac.mil/common-access-card/

After it's set up Outlook then let's people encrypt with a simple click. The recipient then needs their card + PIN to decrypt.

PS: This is one of those cases where the US Government seems to be significantly ahead of the private sector in terms of actual adoption and use.
Experiments are rarely a waste of effort just because they don't turn into something bigger; Focus on what we can have, not what we might have had.

Reinventing the wheel for "minor" issues (or just for fun!) is what gave us Linux, LLVM+Clang, Go/Rust/Nim/etc., Newton's laws, Relativity, etc. Incremental changes are not the only way, nor always the best way, to make progress.
So, anyone with a brain realizes this is a political hit job leading up to the 2016 presidential election. So the promotion of this story has very few honest brokers involved & a lot of partisan motivation.

But I am genuinely curious about this. It doesn't seem like wrongdoing per se, or even anything unethical. But I don't like the trend of losing documents from the historical record. And I think that (while her email security is probably better than State Dept. as a whole) it probably would have been better as the leader to hold herself to the same standards as everyone in the organization as a general principle.

Curious to hear if anyone here has .gov experience and can give useful insight into the story.
I think you're getting a bit mixed up here. For example, I went to Harvard, which has a large endowment which has grown substantially. But the endowment definitely didn't grow by moving tuition money into the endowment (it goes the other way around, with parts of the endowment helping to fund financial aid). Endowments tend to grow through donations and hedge-fund style management.

It may be the case that some universities are pulling less from their endowments to cover certain costs, covering those costs with increased tuition, and leaving the endowment free to grow more quickly, but I'm pretty confident that universities aren't just siphoning money from tuition straight into the endowment.

I think you'd have to show that universities are spending a smaller fraction of the earnings from their endowments, rather than just that the endowments are growing.

As the author, I would really appreciate if you could elaborate on this comment.

I'm genuinely curious, because it's the first time I hear someone saying it's poorly written to the point that it's used as an example of how not to write in C. In fact, I often hear the opposite from people that are way more skilled in C than I am.

I care a lot about code quality, both performance- and readability-wise; so much so that I regularly check the code with static analyzers, ubsan, build the project using two different compilers with a bunch of warnings turned on, and, of course, I'm always refactoring stuff so it's more readable.

If you could help me understand better what you mean specifically about "it violates C standards", I can keep improving the project.

In time, "gratuitously using unportable APIs" isn't really a fact. There are some uses here and there of unportable APIs (such as epoll, maybe a call or two to some pthread_*_np() function), but I believe it's better to support something I know inside out than a platform I have no familiarity with. Maybe "gratuitously" could be removed from that affirmation. Also, I follow the OpenSSH idea of portability, which seems to work pretty well for them: http://www.openbsd.org/papers/portability.ps
Because it's on a private server, not a government operated one. Gives her legal coverage.
In some cases a PhD is formality. In many PhD programs you have to publish the equivalent of three peer-reviewed paper in your specialty. Getting these papers published knows you are doing something important and original and know the system. Sometimes these papers are just stapled together into a the thesis with a forward. Rebel types may forgo the title even though the meet all the qualifications.

There is definitely something important and often overlooked in what you're saying. "Framing," for lack of a better word, is the secret sauce in many interviews. Especially when you reach the point in your career where you're interviewing for mid- to senior-level roles. Nine tenths of the job, at least in the interview, is to "look the part," or to "command the room," by way of framing yourself as a confident, whip-smart, personable, executive presence. In fact, a very strong interview strategy often involves turning the interview around and subverting its premise a little bit -- launching right into enthusiastic questions about the product, or the roadmap, or the team, which demonstrate your strong knowledge about the product and the landscape in which it operates. Doing this, assuming you do it skillfully, can actually short-circuit some of the conventional screening script, and bump you over into the "What will it take to get you on board?" script.

But here's the thing: you still have to know what you're talking about. Ellen's points about intense preparation are extremely important. As a mildly anxious and "Type A" personality, I can relate very profoundly to Ellen's point about deriving confidence from inside-and-out knowledge about the product.

Confidence and poise come naturally to some people, whom I'd describe as socially gifted in much the same way that we'd describe high-IQ people as intellectually gifted. And some rare unicorns have both skills in abundance. But for the rest of us, deriving confidence from some tangible locus -- preparation, knowledge, etc. -- is just as valid. The trick is not letting your preparation slot you into a subordinate, obsequious frame of mind, but instead, letting it fuel your "I'm awesome, and I love this" frame of mind.
That's a slap up based on the same thin information as all the rest of the reporting.

more: The press comments about the location of the server sure do sound a lot more like misunderstanding than they do careful research.
Without government resources, it's hard to imagine this server could be secured, copying the data to two private companies creates much more exposure.

The rule of security is to make the attack more expensive than it's worth to your adversary. How much are the U.S. Secretary of State's emails worth? Certainly they are worth billions, and I'd guess even trillions of dollars; the information could make existential differences, for example to security of entire nations. In addition, the money you could make with foreknowledge of U.S. policies, for example in oil markets, seems astronomical.

I expect that foriegn intelligence services, with billions in reources and highly skilled personnel, had access to her mail. I expect some private interests also did.
We need to redirect our politicians from focussing on reelection to governing. And by governing I mean creating an easily understood and contemporary code. This would include repealing irrelevant laws, etc. The gathering of money for reelection should be placed into a common pool. It should be distributed equally among all candidates. This would improve the efficiency of our govt.
Re/actions: Sony’s $840 Smart Glasses Are Too Dorky to Be Believed
Tl;rd
My parents were surprised to learn that I imagined homework to be optional. This would have been third grade or so, and the teacher did not at all consider it optional. I was pretty slack about homework even after that, not at all to my benefit, until I was in my 30s, back in school part time to learn computer stuff. A crappy grade on a test changed my attitude, and I became a homework fanatic, to my benefit. So my own best homework experiences came when I was grown, and motivated to make very sure that I understood the material.

The most interesting contrast that I have seen was between a couple of Latin teachers who taught my son in middle school and high school. One believed in piling it on, and gave long sheets of words to look up and define. The other gave a fair bit of homework, too, but I could look at her assignments and see what she was trying to convey to the students that week or month or term.

If I were writing a new homework policy, I would ask that the teachers justify every assignment by specifying what it is intended to convey or reinforce. I would be open to allowing students to test out of homework by scoring high on weekly quizzes.
Don't let people tell you your ideas won't work!
Summary of process:

1. Used mail.com, which was apparently vulnerable to some hack that allows resetting the password for accounts.

2. Hacker was able to setup call forwarding for the person's phone, with only the email address to prove identity ( and perhaps information taken from emails )

3. Hacker was then able to reset gmail account even with two-factor auth, by having the two-factor number read out via voice via call forwarding.

Email is pretty much the problem here entirely. Using an insecure email host, and having access to your email be able to access thousands of dollars worth of bitcoins... is terrible.

Do you trust email hosts in general? I certainly don't.
> There are futher sorting issues: Ö should go after O, not Z.

I'd just like to point out that this is not true in the two alphabets that I'm familiar with that use Ö, Icelandic and Swedish. For both of these, Ö is the last character of the alphabet. I don't know how it is for other languages which use Ö but at least for these two the sorting is correct.

"Been a few days since you have come back to the app? You get a nice welcome back notification."

Do any users actually like these sorts of notifications? It's clear to me why application authors use them, but do users really like this stuff?

It is notifications like this that make it so that whenever an app asks for permission notify these days, I say no.
Author here. Looks like lots of people are mixing up multi-column editing with split pane views. I want the same file laid out in multiple columns to make use of the screen real-estate. If such functionality does indeed exist (other than emacs :) ), please let me know. I haven't been able to find it.

Regarding the anti-pattern. You may be right, I have't updated the code in a few years. I displayed it in the screenshot only because it is already open source. But I do need the option of writing files to disk, writing to some random data store or just keep the data in memory. Send me a note about your idea, the whole point of opening it up was to get feedback.
