It depends how you frame the time in question. Is this 4 hours and 30 minutes of heads down, in the zone, productive work? Or is it a mixture of emails, conference calls, and coding?

In my experience managing and being part of various teams and projects for over a decade, I have found that a senior level developer that gets 4 hours of productive work done each day (over a week average, often not in one spurt, depending on the individual) is worth his/her weight in gold.

I always try to encourage 40 hours a week of being online, available, dealing with meetings and whiteboard sessions, but 1/2 of that devoted to heads down work like coding or designing. Often many people that are extremely valuable end up getting less than 20 hours a week of real focused work done in my experience.

Edit: OP, if you read what I wrote, you will see why you shouldn't use the number of upvotes to make your decision: the point is precisely that a 'popular' choice can quickly turn south. At this point, all these upvotes will have disappeared and you will be alone facing the consequences.

If they did something so awful that it's keeping you awake at night, do it.

Otherwise, don't.

...

Wait... are you still reading?

Don't!

....

Okay, darn it...

If you STILL want to do it:

Career-wise, make sure it's something which is universally seen as awful AND will probably continue to be seen as such. If the wind changes direction, there's still going to be a record about what you've done.
Things seen as obviously right can be seen as obviously wrong in the time of a single decade.
When this happens, the 'major law firm' and all those who did encourage you to do it will magically vanish.

> Would it be a deal killer if I applied at your company?"

Depends on what and why you did it.

If you testify only because someone broke the law, from my point of view as a hypothetical employer, you are a huge liability. Most people break the law multiple times a day and don't even know it. I honestly don't want people around me who are ready to report me just 'because I broke the law'.

If you've done it for moral reasons, even if I agree with you, I might have to refuse to hire you because it might gives a bad image to my business.

Now, what if I agree with you and you did something which is currently politically correct. Is there any advantages? Not really... I still don't know if you are good at your job; I'll have to evaluate you the same as everybody else.

In short, there's no advantages (employer/employee-wise) to doing it. Only potential downsides.

It's like behind an asshole on a social network. It might gives your friend a few giggles, but it can hurt you years down the line.

Not only that, Flash was a designers tool. Creative people easily understood the video-like interface and could make amazing stuff quickly without first learning up to 8 different code-based languages.
Flash was great after Macromedia. It took a beating by Adobe when they started focusing on Flex instead.

Flash was essentially dead when Adobe introduced the Flash Builder / Flash Designer mess.
A few thoughts based on my experience, which included being subpoenaed by the U.S. Department of Justice while I was at Wired. We filed a motion to quash, which was unsuccessful, so I was forced to take the stand. I posted the docs here: http://mccullagh.org/subpoena/

So, the thoughts:

* I would refuse to testify against my former employer unless I were subpoenaed. Even then, I may move to quash the subpoena (this may be different in your case, of course).

* Being subpoenaed could include depositions and travel and courtroom testimony and rescheduled evidentiary hearings because the judge has a murder trial that's running long -- it could take weeks of your life. This is not an hourlong process. Also, everyone else involved in this process is going to be paid for their time; who pays for yours? Do you even want, ethically speaking, to be paid for your time? Remember the "major law firm" does not work for you and does not have your best interests at heart; their interests may be opposed to yours. To protect yourself you could hire your own attorney, who isn't going to work for free.

* If your former employer has an active fanbase and strongly and convincingly denies your allegations, you could be attacked by name, and your family members dragged into this, online and via social media.

* There are innumerable laws and regulations, some of them rather nuts, and at least one employee at every large company may have innocently violated one of them at some point. Do the laws you believe your ex-employer violated punish behavior that you personally believe should be illegal (malum in se vs. malum prohibitum)? And did management know about and approve these illegal actions, or was it a rogue employee at fault? If the answer to either question is "no," you may want to drop this.

* Now that you've been contacted by a law firm, you could be subpoenaed even if you do not respond and try to drop this.

* If you believe your former employer has institutionally engaged in actions that are illegal and unethical, you have other options beyond testifying. You could write up your experiences and post them publicly, anonymously if necessary.
I have in-laws that are Syrian, so I understand a little of what your struggle is. Much respect to you.
Is it in there, then? That they won't use their data? Even if it is, it is proprietary, freedom-restricting software so you wouldn't have a clue whether they are coming up with their part of the aggreement.
another disingenuous thing about that example is that law enforcement, really didn't do anything special. they got lucky, by the criminal's own stupidity. in other words, law enforcement really didn't do much in terms of law enforcing, by utilizing power that were available to them and will now be stripped away in an all encrypted world.

in the new world, the criminal could just as likely do something stupid that will cause the data to be unencrypted and for them to find the damning evidence.
Why giant mecha robots are stupid
Wonder if the arguments will be the same once there is tech to read human brains.
Two main thoughts:

> Hailed as a victory for consumer privacy and security, the
development dismayed law enforcement officials, who said it
threatens what they describe as a ­centuries-old social compact
in which the government, with a warrant based on probable
cause, may seize evidence relevant to criminal investigations.

This is an interesting perspective. I tend to view this the
opposite way. Until spring 2013, we tended to believe that the
state doesn't rummage around in the private lives of individual
citizens, except for warranted investigations of a few tax
cheats, drug dealers, racketeers, and the like. Snowden's
disclosures were a massive trust-loss event, and both companies
and individuals will be loath to offer any concession to law
enforcement without a clear demonstration of good faith and
limited access to private data.

I'm also glad to see this perspective from the top cybersecurity
advisor at NIST:

> “The basic question is, is it possible to design a completely
secure system” to hold a master key available to the
U.S. government but not adversaries, said Donna Dodson, chief
cyber­security adviser at the Commerce Department’s National
Institute of Standards and Technologies. “There’s no way to do
this where you don’t have unintentional vulnerabilities.”

Personally, I'm hoping the United States eventually realizes
Dodson is right and that preserving both individual security and
law-enforcement access is futile. Hopefully the United States
will give up on these key escrow / split key schemes and let
meatspace force break encryption on a warranted, rare basis as
investigations require.
I agree with pretty much everything you said, but I do think it goes too far to say that dogs aren't conscious. The evidence I have for dog consciousness is about as good as the evidence I have for human consciousness, as far as I'm concerned.

The title is incorrect - it should remove the "OS" part. ARC means "App Runtime for Chrome", it is not specific to Chrome OS.

That isn't a trivial difference - it matters. This is Google bringing Android apps to Chrome - on Mac, on Windows, on Linux, on Chrome OS - and not just to Chrome OS. In other words, Chrome isn't just a browser, it also does things that have nothing to do with being a browser.

This is the best answer here. Takes the blame off of you by mandating your compliance and testimony. Always just tell the truth - no one can fault you for that. If future employers have a problem with you testifying to what you saw, truthfully, then you don't want to work for someone like that anyway.

If you have the information and the law firm knows this, and you resist voluntary testimony, both your testimony and the evidence in your position can be subpoenaed, at which point you will legally be compelled to provide the testimony and evidence. I've heard of this happening to people who didn't want to testify, and also of people preferring to be subpoenaed so that they could honestly say to others that they testified only because compelled.
Law enforcement in its current form can't be trusted period. It's too biased with its own political and financial agendas and does very little in terms of law enforcing and too much of concocting.

If mental healthcare got a sliver of the attention and budgets defense+LE get i personally think we'd all be better off.
> “I don’t want a back door,” Rogers, the director of the nation’s top electronic spy agency, said during a speech at Princeton University, using a tech industry term for covert measures to bypass device security. “I want a front door. And I want the front door to have multiple locks. Big locks.”

This kind of Orwellian doublespeak coming from officials in power should give all sane people pause.

But, even if our right to privacy was not enshrined in the Fourth Amendment, it would not be possible for any government to have their intrusion into our private lives enforced in the long term. Computers have the means to afford people true privacy and they will have it, without respect to those who would deny it.

Up through AS3 Flash was fantastic. We saw some of the most amazing animations and multimedia up through that era, including H.264 video players.

But Flex. OMG Flex. Trying to bend 180° to serve developers was never going to work. After that it was all downhill.
Move to Berlin and find a decent startup. Plenty of challenging jobs but more importantly you'll find there's a much better work-life balance. It's still up to you to put your time to good use.
Respectfully disagree. I'm personally entirely comfortable with the authorized force-wielding parties in my society also being localized units of high surveillance. This does not greatly affect my privacy, but rather my moments where I am least concerned with privacy (ie. the interactions of maximum likeliness for me to get legally injured or have my longterm rights revoked)
The OP does not seem to be testifying against a company for under declaring the amount of stationary they have though, unless that involves major law firms, and breaks state and federal law.
Yes, the Mac had USB about 5 years before it became popular on the PC. However, you aren't clear as to why they can't simply throw in a couple small USB-C connectors now. No one has to buy new cables. You'll still have all those legacy ports.

Must be some yahoo mobile email devs here...listen, sorry to threaten your livelihood with my statements...but the fact of the matter is, the product is a pos and not aligned with what it should be in terms of human needs. Nobody wants their goddamn email available at all times to anyone. That's why they've been password protected, since like, the 80s. Fix it and you might save your company/jobs. Basic logic.

With PGM you just look at the graph to see how each node is weighted.

That is one of the advantages of PGM, it tells you why it thinks something. Combining this with domain experts is a killer advantage of PGM. For the soundbite: PGM's help the domain expert figure out where to go next.

GNOME has had systemd as a hard dependency since 2012: it uses systemd-logind and a few other systemd services for its basic functionality. systemd is only available on Linux systems, therefore it's a pretty great achievement to get it running on OpenBSD.
I believe the significance is that Gnome 3.X+ relies on systemd? Though I may be mistaken.
That's a good point. I kept attributing it to missing form, which is probably not half bad to focus on, but maybe this is more of a mere "suck it up and go" sort of situation, haha
I could see myself doing something equally as silly as this if I had the money to burn.
My understanding is that you cannot use mathematics to generate random numbers. Somewhere in there you need a quantum process. However that is not hard, just point your camera phone out the window at the clouds.

The problem I see with this is, suppose I hash a picture of the sky down to just one bit. Can I count on my hash evenly dividing between one and zero, without any bias?
Sure, but this is not being disputed. It's just such an obvious proposition that I'd argue making it adds nothing to the discussion, while taking attention away from the counterpoints that would (and slowly conditioning the reader to think that "who does it allow us to convict that we would like to see convicted?" is the most important benchmark to apply to legal principles).
Of course, the inventors of Swype originally did this as well:

They recently won a "lasting impact" award for this paper.
I tend to like to allow myself lots of time for "information consumption" balanced with productive output time. So I am in "work" mode maybe 8-9 hours per day. But during that, I allow myself to go off on sustained tangents and don't beat myself up over that -- I trust the tangential learning to be valuable later. (This has proved true for me.)

If I didn't value that tangential learning time, I would probably be happy with 4.5 hours of solid "productive" work :)
OpenBSD's port of GNOME3 does not rely on systemd at all.
The only way to do that experiment in a properly controlled environment would be to have the entire student body come from identical socioeconomic backgrounds. The lesson of the article I linked is that the more poverty a child experiences, the less effect a teacher will have on their lives. You can choose to ignore that reality all you want, but it doesn't stop it from being true.
Well said. It's not about the law, the law itself might be part of the problem. This looks more like a cultural problem. The level of hostility and distrust on both sides are appalling and the police officers are blindly applying a procedure that would be fit for dealing with the most dangerous criminals and situations. The escalation of the confrontation and the outburst of violence are extremely rapid and totally unjustified by the actual scenario (the fact that it might not be that exceptionally uncommon for a police officer in the USA to face somebody who is actually carrying a weapon and willing to use it is, to me, part of the same cultural problem).

In the end, the result is the following: four police cars involved in what should be a completely routine check; three young people psychologically and physically wounded; one of them, underage, in jail for months at the expense of society; endless time and resources spent in filling papers, in courts, with lawyers. It might look like the dead simple pragmatic approach to things, and yet it's completely deranged and immensely inefficient.
In school it was explained through combinatorics, where the factorial among others tells, in how many ways you can order your set. And an empty set has just one, but it has one, order in which it can be arranged.
Now that I am writing this, I'm losing confidence, that this explanation is mathematically correct..
Similarly, for a police officer, do not escalate a situation to violence unless it's absolutely necessary.

One of the two people here is a paid professional in this field. I don't understand why people always heap criticism on the other guy and give the professional a pass.

> 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.

I don't believe the $60K+ more a year ($160K SFBA vs $100K remote) makes a SFBA job a net positive, considering how substantially higher the cost of living is. Equity, of course, is always a lottery ticket.
No mention of search at all. A year ago, Mayer was going to put Yahoo back in the search business.[1] Yahoo resells Bing search, for which Bing pays Yahoo. Yahoo's own search engine was discontinued in 2010. The deal with Microsoft/Bing is up for review, and Yahoo has the opportunity to exit. Yahoo hired a new head of search last year, but his area of expertise was negotiating with Microsoft. The Yahoo search announcement seems to have been a bluff to get a better deal from Microsoft/Bing.

This year, search doesn't even get a mention.

That is the usual explanation, but I don't think that helps much since counting the number of ways to arrange nothing is confusing!
One simple trained motion of an officer's hand and a dog will go into frantic, "there must be drugs in the car" mode. Probable cause is created. Several videos have caught cops triggering dogs.

Wars on drugs are abysmal entirely. Among many primary sources of havoc and waste on earth that such law creates, arguably the most reaching is its impetus to imbalance power and destroy individual rights and expectations of everyone. Mentality snowballs. A large portion of society is trained to accept increased authority and violation. They laugh at people who attempt to peacefully resist and exercise any remaining rights they have left in the face of 'deletion.'
How likely is it that you'd come to the US?
Don’t you miss simple, curated lists of interesting articles and website links?
So, with the infrastructure we have in place, the idea of "localized" high surveillance is one map-reduce job away from being a joke. There won't be such a thing as "oh, this is the video database just for your local officers and nobody else". The data is going to be mined by other companies, used for other purposes--basically, all kinds of shit that is currently infeasible only because of the overall lack of installed mobile cameras that are dependable (mobile could've gone this way, but didn't).

Also, as far as longterm-rights being revoked, this is a step down the road towards that revocation.

Lastly, the big issue here is that, while you might be comfortable ceding your rights here, it doesn't just impact you: anybody else in camera frame is having their privacy violated. I don't care that you are willing to cede your rights, but don't go support something that'll harm others.
As an Amazonian, I was shocked one day by telling my colleagues about some javascript widget I am working on and a plan to open source it, I got warned that pretty much everything that developed on my laptop belongs to the company, thus I need my manager's permission to open source something that is not pretty much not related to anything in do in my fulltime job....

I think it's also important to point out that this sort of evidence didn't exist until very recently. Before smartphones with video capability existed, the FBI wasn't insisting that technology companies develop them and that consumers adopt them. Now that we have them they're insisting that we give them unencrypted access to incriminate ourselves.
They will eventually need to do that like with the rest of the acquisitions.
I have a hash thing I'm working on that spills well over the Ln caches, so hitting the alternative buckets (its a linear prober) is a non-starter. Turns out the probabilities for an item ending up in an alternative bucket is in the 0.0n% range.

3 bits end up doing what would require a multiword bloom filter with 30 k hashes.
I agree... but it has been 3 years since she took over. At some point people are going to want to see actual results. And so far Yahoo has gone from $5b in revenue in 2012 to $4.68b (2013) to $4.62b last year. (Even by quarter: Q4-2014 is 10m in revenue less than Q4-2013... and net profit dropped by more than half)

I understand there's a lot to fix at Yahoo.. but how much more time is she really going to have without posting real results?
