Yep, AKA introverts with social skills. (Shyness is another possible axis.)

Personally, I feel the problems with buying into the big monkey hierarchy aren't that you can't be diplomatic or can't read social cues. The problems are that it is (A) a drain on your mental energy compared to being an extrovert and (B) feels like an endorsement of a system you'd rather not endorse.
Pssh, it's already passé. I've seen four in Seattle already: three in Capitol Hill and one in Fremont. The Stranger's already speculating about the possible opening of a coffee shop/bar down in Georgetown with teletypes available for rent by the hour.

Edit/Update: I apologize, I misread the paper.
There are 5 different studies/experiments of varying quality. I'm going to read this paper more closely to look at the the participates of all five.
I left the unedited comments below.

First I like to say the paper's statistics and analysis based on the data they use seem pretty good to me.
But . . .
However I find the paper disappointing personally.
I'm not sure how much information is useful to me since the data they use is survey results from 1996, I don't think that's a good indicator of behavior in 2015, as women have been in the workplace for nearly 20 years since then(1996).

edit:
I'm not sure if I read it right, but here is what that
paper says :

"We relied upon data for the year 1996, a year that contained survey items related to our predictor and criterion variables. Specifically, we included only
heterosexual, married men in our sample because we
were interested in the association between heterosexual marriage structures and men’s attitudes toward working women. Our final sample size consisted of 282 men who were married and employed full time. "
What is the best use of a CEOs idle time?
I don't want to hear that there is no such thing is a idle time for a CEO because frankly that isn't true in every case. There are cases when you're waiting for other parties to make their move as you've made a bunch of moves.

I'm at that point today, where I'm waiting for my developers to finish things up, I'm waiting for a client to get back to me about something, and I'm waiting for a prototype to be completed before I can start calling customers.

What do I do in this case that is a good use of time?
Startup Unit Economics and basic metrics
Seems like that would be pretty annoying for passwords that must be changed periodically (or even just occasionally).
Hands down the best fifty bucks I've ever spent.
Sort of. I've called DropBox about missing data before. They actually were quite helpful and even helped recover most of it, despite the fact that I wasn't even a paying customer at the time.

A more likely scenario is that the data is not lost, but my mother (or whoever is calling them) simply has things misconfigured. These companies _do_ provide useful support. Support that they're not going to get if they backup to a developer oriented service directly.
Keepass across platforms.
I think it's substantially different if that subculture operates in an open environment that encourages participation.

If you want to have a private, invite-only community that has strict rules of abrasive (or other) behaviour, that is also possible.

If, however, you run around the world telling everyone how amazing your culture is, how it's producing things that will change all our lives, how it's great for getting a well paying career, etc, etc, all of which the hacking culture has done, then you have nobody to blame when people start paying attention. We asked for all of this, and we reap the rewards, good and bad.

I've used Lastpass, and Password Box in the past, however i now use Dashlane, i've found that it has a good UI and works well.
> My solution? Take them to court, and establish clear oversights. This is what keeps getting said.

I agree, but there's no proof that the Equations Group/TAO were conducting operations without oversight, so I fail to see why this is a big deal. The fact that the oversight that DOES exist consists of rubber-stamping is the fault of either ineffective overseers or unscrupulous intelligence officers. It has no bearing on the people writing the exploits.

Those are absolutely real issues, but they don't apply to this case in any apparent way. I'm all for Intelligence reform but railing against the evils of the NSA when discussing a highly effective portion of its legitimate purpose just muddies the waters of the debate.
lastpass premium, works well across all my devices. for a little more security you can use a yubikey with lasspass. this isnt without its issues but i think its sufficient for most.
Telling someone you're straight and supporting oppression of not straight people are two completely different things.

> we have very strict laws of physics supporting the concept of now (sans relativity)

Laws of physics "sans relativity" aren't the actual laws of physics in our universe. There very much is no now except the now that is also here. Its quite accurate to say that simultaneity does not exist in distributed systems, and simultaneity is less valid as even an approximation the more widely distributed a system is.
Dependency injection – a functional way
I think rather than "fully-formed adults," what's described here is mutual compatibility. Which is kind of unfortunate, as weird as that sounds.

We'd all like to work with people who operate with the same understanding, ethos, sense of humor, etc. It makes the day better, right? No office drama, no awkward meetings. But I would contend doing this tends to put you at a genetic disadvantage, and that some types of confrontation are essential for growth. Introducing only like-minded people will produce linear results.

What codified HR rules do is put some workplace guidelines around humanity - that allows a dissonant group of varied people to, you know, be themselves without necessarily worrying about conforming to avoid ruffling feathers.

Perhaps it's more nuanced than that, but it sounds more like "hire people you like" expressed somewhat condescendingly as it is.
What part are you proposing to be 3d printed?
Just because something has been done "Since the dawn of time" is not a valid reason to keep doing it whatsoever.

As a foreign citizen of the US (or UK) where this type of activity seems king, I'm threatened and consider these activities hostile and reason enough to not do any sort of business with US based companies or US residents.

There are no legitimate spying efforts, these agencies from day one have used and abused their positions to misdirect the public, start wars, spy on those they had no business spying, hack infrastructure on foreign land (which should be considered an act of war pure and simple), and the list goes on, including torture and murder.

I have no respect for these agencies and the work they do and they have no business existing.
I use KeyPass synced over Dropbox to all my devices. My wife really like Dashlane, which has some neat (if a little scary) features like the ability to automatically change many account passwords at once.
Is there a writeup on how to access it via linux?
The Pearson correlation coefficient indicates the strength of a linear relationship between two variables, but its value generally does not completely characterize their relationship.

While independence refers to every relationship between two variables, when we use correlation we're usually only referring to one type of relationship, a linear relationship.
I'll repeat:

If it were okay to ask a job candidate out after an interview, the incentive for an unscrupulous interviewer who encounters an attractive candidate is to scuttle the interview so he can ask the candidate out later on.

Is that really interesting? I would be surprised if people were more eager to make enemies and potentially make themselves look petty than to make friends.
It's very interesting!

But I tried your search, and while it found the song, it didn't have that special panel.

But when I searched for:

"r.e.m. man on the moon lyrics"

That panel came up.

So while yours might be an interesting use case, that are not actually doing it.

So my initial question, still stands: Doesn't this hurt google?
>And I'm not being smug here with the above.

That's what threw me off, so sorry with the confusion. I can also state that it doesn't fit my personal experiences even in a figurative sense, but that's a comparison that I don't think is easy to make in a few comments back and forth online.
This is an excellent overview.

Simultaneity isn't just for machines -- it is necessary for people being connected together online as well. Time sync is a huge part of creating a shared experience, and this will become more widely appreciated as virtual reality develops socially.

We solved this in a very limited way at rapt.fm for our timed rap battles. We maintained a shared clock tick (with adjustment), allowing UI and in-game events -- e.g. the beat kicking in -- to happen somewhat simultaneously across browsers. This helped make up for the latency of video, and created a feeling that people were together at the same "place".

I have only briefly checked out this library so take what I say with a grain of salt, but from what it looks like we had a very similar implementation to this on the project i'm currently involved with, also very inspired by Om.

At first it worked out great for us but as our application grew both in scope and number of developers involved, we quickly ended up with a 'cursor soup' where too many components were watching for changes individually.

It had a very negative impact on performance since components would potentially re-render multiple times for a single change. In our last implementation we ended up overcoming this by some fancy event consolidation, but even so we had too many components 'touching' our tree.

We ended up reverting to a much simpler architecture and it has both made our application dumber (which is great in terms of maintenance) but also more performant. We currently have actions/stores/views where actions themselves are dispatchers. By creating a few helper functions we overcome a large part of the boilerplate but even without, it has proved worth it for us.
I was and still am involved in the "maker culture" thing and from what I see, the term "maker" is already dead as well. Media found it, it became a popular label, and now everyone who knows which side of duct tape is sticky is a "maker". And don't get me started about the events. What do startups showcasing their newest commercial 3D printers have to do with "making" again?
1password on iOS/OSX + on windows at work. It's got a great feature here you can have different 'vaults' for different sets of passwords - I have one personal, one for work and one for home utilities that I can share with the family.

Initially the $50 was painful, but I've since happily paid for all the upgrades and for family members license' too - encouraging good password hygiene!
I use a secret scheme that only I know. It works like this - I have one single long complex "base" password, which is no problem for me to remember, which has letters, numbers, caps, and symbols so all password checkers are happy. Then, for every site I change that password using my secret scheme. I won't say what mine is, but an example is that I change the 3rd character to match the 3rd character of the URL, and I add a character to the end equal to the URL's first character, but shifted right one column on the keyboard (V becomes B for example).

Basically it's one base password and one repeating scheme, that gives me a unique complex password on every site, that's easy to remember, and doesn't require any special software to maintain!

When they ask you to hand over all personal electronics, point to it and say "that's dangerous".

If, subsequently, they want to know why you were carrying it ... it was so you could fry the USB port of your own laptop if you thought someone had snuck some hardware-level malware into it.

If you tell them NOT TO DO IT and they go ahead and do it, I find it hard to see how a court could convict you of wilfully damaging their forensic equipment.

(To the extent there's any social engineering involved, it simply relies on the tendency of police to ignore or discount unsolicited information from members of the public who are under suspicion.)

I haven't tried this for a long time, but the last time someone shared a password with me through LastPass, I was able to easily grab the plaintext just by watching the network traffic with dev tools. So this feature seems questionable to me.

I used Mahout's LDA to topic model looots of web pages. The main issue I came across was that it just fell flat when I used LDA on different sites in the same run. I'd tried a few different types of normalization and chrome filtering, but it just didn't fly. Performed best for me when it was run on a per-corpus basis.
I spent a few years in the eyewear industry.

Offhand, it seems like this stuff isn't that difficult to make. After all, it's just frames made out of plastic, right? But it is at this point we get a glimpse into what it takes to manufacture products.

The basic design of glasses - like any accessory - is a skill in itself! We look at the shape, the materials, used, the colors, the hinges, the nose-pads, and the aesthetic of frames. Many of us can look at a pair of glasses and "know" that they are styled for men or women, and different frame shapes and colors are better suited for different face shapes and skin tones.

This is all to say that, even before we start manufacturing, one has to find talent who understands all of these aspects of accessory design in order to produce a great product. Parallels to software engineering suggest themselves.

When it comes to manufacturing, most all of it is done outside the US in China. Physical manufacturing is difficult. There is a years-long iterative process of choosing materials, manufacturing samples, working with the vendors, and ensuring quality. Maybe you are importing acetate from another country. Oh, and it is February - you planned for Chinese New Year, right? Import these frames into the US and let them sit in customs for a month. Etc. Physical manufacturing is hard.

What if you're making eyewear for another brand? Now you have to design things which are consistent with that brand's aesthetic.

Then you have to find an optical lab to fulfill prescriptions. A lab which is reliable, does not ship products with scratches on lenses, and has strong inventory controls. Optical labs, incidentally, are really expensive operations to run because the machinery is so specialized.

And then there is the shipping, logistics, and customer service pipeline.

At a unit level, it is true that glasses are pretty cheap to make. In that sense, because it is easy to get into the market - which is relatively unregulated compared to, say, payment processing - you deal with a lot of unscrupulous businesses and middlemen trying to peddle bad-quality goods.

Eyewear may have recurring customers, but perhaps not so much brand loyalty. Many customers want to physically try on frames before buying, which increases customer acquisition costs (either via home-try-on programs or physical showrooms.)

Companies like Luxottica, I have heard, sell their eyewear to mom-and-pop optometrists and use sales data to figure out the size of the market. Then they plop down with a Lens Crafters.

This is all to say... it is a difficult business, there are many competitors, it is hard to wade through the crap, it is hard to find good talent, and things like aesthetics and brand recognition are important - and take time to develop. Not as easy as it seems!
"I don't believe NSA blackmail can or will happen in general, for reasons I have mentioned before here on HN. One of the most common kinds of comments here on Hacker News about issues like this is a comment that ASSUMES that if government leaders are under pervasive surveillance they are all afraid of blackmail."

First of all, having being part of the action arm of the government (Marine Corps) I can say from experience that I don't trust any of the fuckers in DC, and I think your attitude is naive. Secondly, you are setting up a strawman fallacy by saying that the comments you most frequently see assume that if leaders are being watched they are all afraid. I haven't seen that claim made anywhere, even on conspiracy websites.

No, control is about a toolbag, and some tools work on some people and some tools work on others. Just like if you were trying to recruit a spy to spy on his country for you. Maybe blackmail works on person A, but maybe person B just wants his kids to go to a good US college. Maybe person C just needs some money. Not all the politicians needs to fear surveillance blackmail because there are other methods for those who don't succumb to that particular tactic.

"The simple fact is that there is value system diversity in the United States electorate, and there is personal conduct probity variance among United States politicians,..."

More strawmen. What does "probity variance" even mean? Probity means completely honest, so how can there be variance on being completely honest? Not to mention even saying the word probity in a sentence targeted at US politicians falls flat on the face of history.

"and there isn't any universal way to unduly influence politicians merely through even the most diligent efforts to discover personal secrets"

Nobody is saying there is a universal way to compromise or unduly influence politicians, as per my previous statements. The fact that you are ignoring all the other ways to unduly influence them seems striking, especially given your own claimed position as a judicial clerk for your states supreme court. Either you know about them and are omitting them on purpose, which is dishonest conversation (I'll refrain from lawyer comments), or you don't, in which case you are out of your depth in your commenting. All I see in your statements is a string of logical fallacies with no substantive comment of any note. (your first paragraph excepted)

Also, regarding the idea that there are a handful of straight arrow politicans. I don't disagree entirely, though I may question how straight, but I think you might misunderstand their power position in the beltway. They may be upright, but if they sit back and don't do anything about the egregiously unconstitutional acts occurring around them they are guilty by association.

I hate to be the one who says this, but that's not what those guidelines do. They don't allow varied people to be themselves. They make everyone be a self-similar group of other people. Other people who are not themselves.
