"major law firm" --> you are not the main character in the movie. So please keep this in mind. As soon as something goes wrong, you will not be first one to be saved from the bad situation. At the same time this is a risk that can lead to both good and bad stuff.

For the career advice;

You will be a lot more known than your projects since this topic will be covered by media as well.

This can be risky too.

The bad:

If law firm loses the case, then you will end up with them as a loser too which will lower your chances getting a similar job like you are working now.

Keep in mind that you former employer also have lawyers to defend themselves, and at the end after the case, they will most probably be still operating.

The good:

You will be known as someone that actually did something about the problem. This can open opportunities for you to work for/as something else than what you are doing now. (they might want to host you on TV, interviews, people would would want to hire you to do some other things, i don't know maybe IT specialist for law firms?)

For both cases, doing what you are doing now MAY not be easier for you after this. (This is my opinion)

Taking or not taking this risk should be ONLY your decision since advantages and disadvantages will mostly affect you.

There are some other things came to my mind that might be worth thinking about as well.

- Do you have a family to take care? (taking risks are easier when you are single)

- Would you be happy doing something else than what you are doing now?

- What are you expecting that will happen when the case is over? (How will you feel about it?)

And one more thing,

Since i am not a lawyer, you actually can find another law firm or a lawyer and ask them about this offer you got. And listen what they are saying about the whole thing.

Good luck!

It's the same mindset of people who blame rape victims for using tight clothes. "She was asking for it".
What I don't understand is that there is the impression that that Tumblr isn't doing well because it hasn't broken out of the teenage and 20's demographic. By forcing changes to try to extend to more age demographics, they risk alienating the ones they already have. They could simply just focus on the teen and 20's demographic and wait it out until they get older and are entrenched in the platform.
WYSIWYG HTML editors are dead, an incredible sad fact.

Dreamweaver never advanced after Adobe bought Macromedia (beside UI color changes and minor upgrades), Microsoft killed FrontPage (trident engine) and the successors Web Expression 4, Adobe killed GoLive, Netscape/Mozilla killed Composer incl. their forks Nvu and KompoZer and BlueGriffon. Only SeaMonkey (the former Mozilla/Netscape Suite) still ships with the outdated editor. Microsoft Word 2010 still ships with Frontend 2003 HTML editor code for its "Web" view that produces broken HTML4 output. Outlook 2010+ now also use Word as HTML editor/viewer (based on Frontpage code). So nowadays, there are only two HTML editors with design view left SeaMonkey and Dreamweaver. Dreamweaver comes with an outdated and discontinued Opera 8 based pre HTML5 design-view (Opera browser engine has been discontinued and is nowadays just a Chrome based browser) and SeaMonkey's Composer and their forks Nvu/KompoZer/BlueGriffon haven't been updated for years and Mozilla Thunderbird basically dead too (its HTML email editor uses the same component).

ContentEditable HTML5 API (WYSIWYG editor for HTML5) is broken in all browsers too and no one fixes the bugs!! - see the bugs listed there: http://www.quirksmode.org/dom/execCommand.html , http://caniuse.com/#feat=contenteditable , https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLElement...

As ContentEditable is used in many online email services as HTML email editor like GMail (and used GoogleDocs v1) and online rich text editors there is a tiny little hope at least some browser developers fix ContentEditable bugs.

Apple has an WYSIWYG editor on top of Webkit, it is used in their word processor "Pages". The open source community needs an WYSIWYG editor based on webkit/chromium or at least as bug-fixed ContentEditable.
And Community Season 6!
Note: I believe that calling it a "TASER camera" is simply using the name brand of the device. It's not a camera literally mounted on a electrical weapon, but rather a body mounted camera made by the company TASER. Say what you will about uninformed writers repeating catch phrases verbatim without understanding their meaning, or fat public contracts consistently going to the same vendors. Frankly, I'd rather have the body mounted cameras made by a company that doesn't also make weapons... seems like all too cozy a situation between the methods of force (weapons) and the tools used to keep that force in check (body mounted cameras and video storage and retrieval systems).

To confirm your point - my blog has been on Tumblr for years and I just now discovered the Yahoo connection by reading this article.

Nice idea;)
Fair enough. I gave you some upvotes as it seems you were misunderstood.

That said, the new one looks much cooler, but it has one hell of a steep learning curve. You can die from pretty much anything, including the training to leave a station.

Accidentally shooting the station pretty much equals death.
I'm not sure that's the specific goal of this move. It's very doubtful any company has suddenly reversed their market position by switching two executives' positions. However, it's likely this move is more intended to send a message to the other executives that whatever their position, even the leader of Tumblr, that maintaining a narrow market for a platform is unacceptable. I doubt Marissa thinks that the switch will actually expand Tumblr's market share, but that it's a future-looking move that will encourage other execs to engage a broad audience.

I don't know how effective it will be, but I'd bet dollars to dimes that's the motivation.
It would change my thoughts on hiring you. What were the crimes? What were the values you were defending? Are those values I want in my company? How much were you sticking your neck out?

Your answers and justifications could swing the pedlndulum either way. I would want to know that you believed you did the right thing, and that you took the time to really question what the right thing was.
> What the hell is going on in the USA?

The people have been conditioned to accepting a totalitarian/authoritarian police state, whether they like it or not. Militaristic behavior is considered worthy of respect, and aggression from authorities is tolerated - because of the conditioning.

That conditioning consists of repeated propaganda about what happens to you when you don't obey - i.e. news reports, daily, about who got shot today. Who got brutalized today. Who got put away, today. All because they did not obey.

But the real question is, why do you expect more from the country that has 25% of the worlds imprisoned population within its borders? What conditioning have you accepted that makes you think things should be any different in the USA today? Because that is the other half of the dialetic materialist campaign that is conditioning us all into acceptance/denial.
> Let's be realistic: there are many companies that won't hire you after this

Based on? This sounds important enough to warrant real data rather than our guts, whims, direction of the wind, or whatever else.
It'll probably be a few years, and it'll probably start with the front ports and hubs before the rear ports start to get changed over. USB's got 20 years of devices to support, and a lot of people would rather not have to get all new cables for their existing devices. Though I do foresee that things like mice and keyboards will ship with A<->C dongles for a few years, much like the USB<->PS/2 adapters of 15 years ago.
That InverseBloomFilter sounds like an LRU cache of hashes. A true inverse bloom filter can be proven to be impossible, sadly.
As jblow mentioned, they are not at scale yet. They're using the revenue (and high profit margins) from the Model S to fund their Gigafactory construction. Once online, the Gigafactory is to bring down the cost of batteries by ~30%.

They will, at that point, be at scale.
Perhaps since they have a partial seat in the White House press room. Between BBC/Boston Globe, with Scripps, next to Guardian/FT. If you asked me to name some varying trustworthy news sources there's three top ones there.

Did you watch the video? The officer asks the person in the back to get out of the car. He refuses. Then the officer tries to pull him out of the car, he struggles and puts his hands up like he is going to punch the officer. The officer tries to get him multiple times out of the car, then the person gets pepper sprayed, and is still combative and resisting about 10 attempts to grab him and get him out of the car. Then he gets tased twice and gets pulled out of the car.

If an officer demands that you get out of your car, get out of your car. If an officer puts his hands on you to get you out of the car, DEFINITELY do not pull away, put your hands up to fight, and repeatedly try to get away from the officer.
Resembles me of http://terminator.wikia.com/wiki/Catherine_Weaver , given all the stories we hear.

Hope she'll show em some tough hell :)
I hope the smartphone industry will eventually go on a trend of making the cameras with bigger and bigger zoom capabilities. That should make it much easier (and safer) for other people to film from a distance what's going on - even from their own homes, at high quality.
Does the officer need to wait for a legal guardian if the person is 17?
>I'd really like to hear from a European counterpart how they think this scenario would have gone down across the pond. Not like this, I am sure.

In Germany I'm quite sure the police would have waited politely and patiently until the parents arrived.

(Well, I'm also pretty sure they wouldn't have stopped and attempted violent arrest of someone for having a broken light above their license plate...)
How hard is it to determine why a probabilistic or "deep learning" system made a specific choice?
There's a difference between dressing how you want, and actively resisting a lawful order coming from a police officer. It's pretty offensive that you could even remotely compare this situation to rape.
Isn't it really hard for Yahoo-sized companies to get back on top of their industry in general? A list of such companies and theories as to how they managed to recover would be interesting.
I agree. This is kinda how Facebook has lost the attention of an important early demographic - high schoolers. It was probably due to the fact the everyone they knew was on FB, and it wasn't the "cool" place to be anymore.

Sometime in the early 2000s I found myself reading MathWorld the way some people read Wikipedia -- just start on some random article, and follow links to anything I don't understand. It helped to rekindle my love of mathematics and I eventually went back to school and got a math degree, which is one of the most satisfying things I've done.
In the youtube description area, click "SHOW MORE" and the link for slides are right there. Also, the top youtube comment by Matt Cutts also has a link.

I'll copy part of the first two comment:

> I really hate this molasses explanation of the Higgs field. The problem is, it is wrong, suggests a wrong intuition and obstructs actually interesting physics. It is wrong, because the mass is something very different from friction. It suggests a wrong intuition, because the snow field, or the molasses, generates a force when something is moving through the medium. But there is no medium to move through. ( And mass acts, when there is a change of velocity, friction if there is velocity.) [...]

> [Me] I agree. I hate the molasses explanation, because it suggests the wrong kind of equations. Higgs bosons don’t dissipate energy. Repeat after me: “The Higgs mechanism is totally unrelated to viscosity or friction” [...]

I still hate this analogy.

BuzzFeed definitely still publishes Mashable-like "top-n" list pieces and similar entertainment pieces, but their news section[1] has improved significantly over the years.

This to me is a silly idea, as I am confident that if you let me follow any person, or work in any company for a day, I could find laws that they are breaking. Everybody breaks laws, and nobody wants to have the passenger in their car report them for speeding 5mph over the limit.

Then ignoring the existence of the weaker memory model of ARM (versus the stronger x86/x64) is even stranger. And even if x86/x64 models are stronger, they still need some fences and using them all the time would be too slow. So I still don't really understand the arguments of the article.

I spent a lot of time when I was in my early 20s doing consulting on projects that I wasn't very excited about. It's really easy to get stuck in a bad place and you should feel good that you've identified this as a problem for you so early.

It's so easy to lose confidence in yourself when your surroundings don't make you happy. Don't tell yourself that you aren't smart. Read up about Impostor Syndrome (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impostor_syndrome). Apply to jobs around the world that you'd enjoy even if think are out of your reach -- you'll be surprised. Companies are starved for talented passionate engineers and will pay for relocation and invest time in training.

I'm happy to chat more, hit me up at eric@codebutler.com.
It's not totally that simple. When they acquired Tumblr, the valuation was dominated by goodwill --- 750MM of it --- which was explained in part by the value to Yahoo of exposing Tumblr's users to Yahoo's monetization systems, and of integrating Yahoo technology directly into Tumblr. If that plan goes out the window, they may need to formally account for that, which can hurt their numbers.
Well, I'm looking at the code and it looks like it doesn't report false positives. I understand that you expect it to hash the content down and store only the hash, but it doesn't do that.

EDIT: I suppose my point was just that there is a difference between "I think you chose a bad name for your class" and "This is actually not true and not possible". It seems both true and possible (and arguably inappropriately named).
She needs to shuffle her idiotic mobile team by firing all of them, at least the ones who made the mobile email app. Who the hell designs, in this day and age, an email app that does not let you log out; your only choice is to delete the app if you don't want someone who picks up your phone to look at your yahoo mail. I used to be skeptical of snapchat, but I'm coming around to new startups that understand how humans use things and don't want everything open to everyone.

No prob, please do!
Current Reno resident who has also lived in Silicon Valley and San Fransisco reporting in. Born and raised in Reno. Also have spent a significant amount of time in Austin.

Out of all 4 of those places, Reno is by far the most fun. Between the skiing, hiking and awesome bars the quality of life in Reno is unparalleled. We have a ton of amazing local bands. A burning man party is one of the craziest parties you will ever attend. The weather can be harsh compared to California, but I personally love it. It's hard for me to imagine living anywhere else.

Austin is fun, but is a swamp and overcrowded. San Francisco is also fun, but is incredibly overcrowded and expensive. SV is kind of boring, and too family-oriented for a young person.

The only problem in Reno is the job market. I know a lot of talented IT pros who have trouble finding a good job. Reno's economy is dominated by Casinos and Finance. Almost all of the talented programmer I know from Reno have wound up in SV or San Francisco. UNR isn't producing enough people trained in IT fields. The tech job market is anemic. Nepotism and the "Good Old Boys Club" run deep in the Reno economy. Nevada is much more corrupt than most states.

Reno will never be the next Silicon Valley or even the next Austin. We simply don't have an educational system to support it. The Bay-Area and Los Angeles are a huge brain drain on the Reno area. I think Bloomberg hit the nail on the head with deeming it "Silicon Valley's Back Office". Reno's place is a great place to do manufacturing and run data centers because of it's location and lower cost of doing business.

I will probably be moving to another city soon because I simply can't find a good job or enough work freelancing in my field (Front-End Web Development). Reno is my favorite place to live, but it's hard to take a ~50% pay cut to live here.

Ask HN: Workflow for managing client resources
My freelancing business is taking off and I have a reasonable amount of hours and client work available to me (mostly hourly, but I'm more comfortable in this "maintenance and management" type of work)

I'm using KeePass to manage my client logins. I'm using Harvest to manage project details, timesheets, invoicing, and client details. I'm beginning to add more and more clients that will rely on me to manage and ensure the stability of multiple platforms - typically VPSes and shared hosts.

Should I consider adding anything to my tools to ensure safety and streamline the process?

Thanks!

You getting paid? If not, then do not testify.

Everything has a price, and if you aren't getting paid, someone else is.
I'm guessing that your views prevent you from seeing this situation for what it was.

No one was being violently arrested for having a broken light. They were arrested because they refused to step out of the car, and put up a fight when the officer tried to get them to come out of the car.

The officer claimed to have smelled marijuana, and so had probable cause to ask the person to step out of the car and perform a search. The driver of the car was previously arrested for marijuana possession, so perhaps it was possible that the officer was telling the truth, and did smell marijuana?

You may disagree with marijuana prohibition (I do), and the idea that a smell implies probable cause, but that is the law as it is today. You don't have a right to refuse that, or demand that the officer must wait until your mother shows up. Even so, we have no idea how long it would take the mother to show up. How long should an officer wait before being allowed to ask a 17 year old to step out of a car for probable cause?

Yes I watched the video you moron. Just because you don't like the 17 yo kid
and because you may classify him as a "punk" doesn't mean that the asshole in the uniform
has the right to torture the kid with pepper sprays and tasers.

The kid said "I ain't going nowhere till my mother is here" and he's right. The asshole in the
uniform could patiently wait for the kid's parent.

WTF is wrong with you people?
Do what's right for others and it'll be right for you too.
As an engineer with a remote job, you will be unlikely to get certain kinds of jobs that have the same sort of pay-off that people get locally. If I was a remote worker for Facebook or Google, I wouldn't be able to use the cafeteria, and most start-ups in early stage tend to want people onsite where they can talk to each other much more. Furthermore, companies seem to pay significantly more just to have you on-site. In contrast, I've noticed most of the remote jobs I've applied to just aren't as good in compensation as ones onsite. I can easily find a random job as a senior engineer for $160k+... but it's really hard to find that as a remote worker. The extra $20-$40k / yr does add up even if you're in a significantly lower cost of living area.
Note that Motorola also did the m88k which was their RISC approach. It generated a bit of interest, but was never successful. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorola_88000

The Motorola Series 900 machines were interesting - I had one under my desk at work for quite a while. They had stackable units, including one that contained a SCSI 3.5" floppy drive that was way faster than regular ones. We also had a DG unit with the m88k.

There's got to be some reasonable legal restriction to be placed on officers that prevents their use of unnecessary force.
I'd say the only reason you shouldn't is if you disagree with the law. Otherwise, I'd testify.
