Not at all like breaking into a house, breaking into a house is a violation of physical safety and comfort. One's home is one's sanctuary, and an invasion is quite frightening.

This is analogous to the student noticing the teacher left their keys at their desk, taking the keys to unlock a private desk drawer, and putting some naughty picture in the drawer. At most, such a prank would merit a week of detention. Calling it a criminal offense of felony hacking is insane.
These evil Reds... But of course US-backed emperor Selassie had nothing to do with the disastrous economy despite ruling as an absolute monarch for 60 years. And the Ogaden War where US-backed Somalia attacked Ethopia also had nothing to do. And no talk about the White Terror either. It's so easy to simplify to justify one's political positions, isn't it?

This is interesting. Could you explain how it is avoidable? I am genuinely asking, not looking for something to argue about (I may disagree, just want to make sure you know I'm not looking for something to disagree with, I am asking this because I really don't know).

My limited understanding is that people can be sent to jail for failure to pay even if they have turned over all existing assets (i.e., no concealing assets or fraud) and have made no effort to evade payment. For instance, if someone "loses" a job and the judge believes that the person is not making a sufficient effort to find one and resume payment, that can be sufficient to send someone to jail. Is that the case?
First off, you are right. Artisans during the industrial age were increasingly employed for factory production.

That's still not working for a patron.

Second off, the OP asked about a name for "engineering postings for our company". That's part of a factory system. If anything, the term "artisan" is even an more appropriate description.

Factories and employment lead to the near demise of artisans, as that last reference I gave suggests. The use now is a revival of the original handcraft sense, which is why that's what I covered.

You realize this is such a small part of the overall driving experience? I don't know how people are convinced this is a huge deal. It is possible to rent a car for the 1 or 2 days a year you have to drive 400 miles in a single trip. In fact, if you own an M5 I would also suggest you do it as well.

I've had my car in Austin for a year and a half now and never once been concerned about power, never once been to a charging station (and never been to a gas station). I would suggest that most people aren't regularly taking giant road trips.

The touch screen is not even that awesome (no tactile response), it's less than 1/100th of what makes the car great to own / drive.

Aptly is about hosting packages only right?

If different teams want to build their own packages (using whatever toolchain they want, which results in a .deb) and have them hosted on the company repo server(s) - why should they care how the hosting works? Have them supply (usually an upload of some kind) the built (and if necessary, signed) package files, and their job is done.

I know it's hip and cool to treat "devops" as meaning "developers get their hands dirty with ops and we have no separation" but that's a ridiculous interpretation of the concept.

There is a definite and identifiable skillset involved in system and network administration (aka Ops, Infrastructure, or historically "IT department").

There is no reason developers can't learn these skills (I actually went the other way, studied Network Engineering, learnt dev later, now I do both) but it's stupid to assume that just because a developer can install vagrant, that he or she is qualified to run or make key decisions about core infrastructure and services.
Presumably you'd either unfollow that person and appeal your inclusion on the list, or else get over it. You are not entitled to push your thoughts to someone else's feed if they don't want to hear you.

The point is that, even if I only ever tweeted about sandwiches, these tools will effectively silence me because of my association. And your solution that I remove myself and appeal my ban, caused just because someobdy found one of the people I follow offensive? That solution is exactly the sort of thing that violates my right to freedom of association and that makes everyone proposing that solution look closed-minded.

The question is whether hearing the dissent is useful. It isn't, and for some it causes anything from annoyance to pain.

One could make the exact argument about any number of things, and it would sound just as close-minded. I'm not defending the abuse and death threats and whatnot, mind you, but you aren't winning any prizes for "most tolerant of other ideas". I understand the reasoning, I understand with where it's coming from, but
I'm not saying you're wrong, but it does feel to me like you're encouraging Jonas to defect in a negative-sum game. He can get more users by engaging his sales-self, but his engineering-self is treating his users more respectfully.

Indeed, Miami Native here. (Live in Bay Area Now) This article comes to the conclusion it was looking for that is in fact false and not rooted in reality. Brownsville/Overtown/Liberty city were not intentionally left as rundown ganglands there have been attempts to clean them up but all have failed. Also Little Hati is downright dangerous to enter. [1] And of course Little Havana is still Cuban, it's well maintained generally safe and all that the Cubans who had to leave their country have left (Besides Hialeah). Also Lets not forget that ~70% of Miami is Cuban and they really value their heritage (my wife is Cuban)

SaaStr on CXO Talk [video]: “If You Don’t Have an a  Team, Fix It” – SaaStr
This is precisely why Google needs to throw resources at solving big problems away from its traditional competency. By the time their ads business declines, they're going to need something even bigger to take its place to keep investors happy.

Is it possible to build a new non-ad-supported software business that brings in $60 billion a year in revenue? Maybe. And I'm sure Google's trying.

But it could be that their best bet is to invest in areas where the potential rewards are enormous and few others have the resources and organizational will to invest in.
I think both are a mixed bag. White flight usually means money and business is sucked from the area. Gentrification, specifically in SF's case, means displacing long-term citizens and worry about replacing interesting and eclectic people and businesses, who were doing well otherwise, with boring wealthier people who inflate prices beyond what a "normal" person can afford.
Some people think it's clearly a bad thing because it dislocates poor people from these gentrifying neighborhoods, but there's a lot more to it.

There was a report last week on NPR that talked about how difficult it is for people to escape these closed-in neighborhoods:

http://www.marketplace.org/topics/wealth-poverty/what-makes-...

Essentially they found that the more rich and poor people intermingle in their daily lives, the more likely it is for those poor people to pull themselves out of poverty.
I write my slide content in Markdown, use pandoc to generate beamer slides as LaTeX files and then compile the beamer to PDF slides.

There are a few steps involved, but they're all pretty easily scriptable, and it allows me to use my favorite text editor to compose content quickly.
Does this handle connection pooling? I notice that in the README, the example establishes a connection to the database, and then the Express app runs. Is this a single connection for the entire time the node app is running in a process (yikes!), or is there some sort of connection pooling going on in the background with this?
Politics aside, its a worthwhile endeavor to hedge our bets on fuel. We're addicted to it; when our supply is threatened it costs us many times the entire cost of the ethanol subsidy program.

In fact, the annual corn subsidies in their entirety would operate Welfare for 36 hours per year. Its a drop in the investment-bucket.
Hosting a repo is the easy part to figure out.

Keeping repositories synced between versions of Debian and architectures is slightly harder but doable.

Best practices for handling uploads from individual developers, making sure all dependencies are included at the same time when a package is published is hard.

Running something like the official Debian unstable -> testing transition of packages (with QA/testing in that loop), and figuring out what rebuilds are necessary is very hard.
Really appreciate your comment! Very helpful.
When I was in school, the network administrator framed me for "slowing down the Mac network" using "AOL punters and Visual Basic proggies", because I had a personal website that linked to said Windows AOL tools. He got me kicked out and had "hacking" put as the reason on my permanent record.

When I went to subsequent schools, they would hold me accountable for any computer problems or suspicious activity as I had been "guilty of hacking" at a prior school. My attempts to clean their systems of 0-day computer viruses and fix broken proxy settings on browsers got me banned from the school's libraries.

Teenagers are not adults, and don't understand the monumentally irrational fears and corrupt politics that drive adults - especially in academia. They also have no way to defend themselves and are often victimized by adults, and often have no idea that adults can literally throw the book at them for no reason whatsoever (I certainly had no idea that kind of thing could/would happen).

Hopefully somebody steps up and forces the government to do the humane thing here and not fuck a poor kid's life over to gain political points and 'send a message'.
> AES instruction sets implemented in hardware are the main factor in making HTTPS viable.

Not true. It's something like 30-40 cycles per byte to do AES without specialized instructions. That makes saturating 100mbit trivial, and saturating gigabit one of the easier problems. How much traffic can your toaster and router possibly be terminating?
This looks great!

The primary thesis — that if you just put up a bunch of luxury high-rise apartments in mission bay, gentrification of the mission would stop — strikes me as absurd.

Way overly simplistic. Lots and lots of people with $ in SF still like the not-rich feel of neighborhood like the mission. SF culture doesn't turn into Miami culture just because you put up a bunch of tall buildings.

Other points:

Japantown is nothing more than a mall and a name on a map -- there is no neighborhood there.

Conversely, Chinatown really isn't changing much; it resists gentrification. The explanation I have heard, which seems likely, is that most of the buildings and restaurants have been owned by the same families going way back, and they are reluctant to sell or lease to outsiders.
currently, that is exactly how they are handled. the JSON structure is brought into memory, parsed, modified, and then written again to the database.

this is non-optimal, but currently the only method available.

I fail to see how centering something in flexbox is complex. It's literally one property once you've switched to the new mode. And absolute centering is really simple once you understand how containing blocks work.

Your implications that table layout can be "well defined" or "heavily optimized" are both false. The problem is that table layout is ill-defined: it's really a pile of hacks upon hacks that were invented at Netscape a long time ago and still not standardized or consistent between browsers. And, speaking as someone who optimizes layout engines for a living, complexity is the #1 enemy of "heavy optimization". Spec complexity is the #1 reason why layout is so slow, because it makes layout engines large, complex, and brittle.
I talk to the driver…

If the entire point of installing solar is to offset the cost of your own electricity, it seems like a incredibly stupid investment.

You are basically paying tens of thousands of dollars to shave $100 off your electricity bill every month. You would do far better investing your money in normal things and just using the profits to pay your electric bill.

If you want solar to not be reliant on the grid, you need batteries. If you want solar to be a investment that gives you xx$ of benefit a month, you should look into doing something besides solar.
Atlanta native here, I want to support this view. I'm very happy to have moved to Silicon Beach (Santa Monica) because I finally know what it feels like to not want a concealed firearm on me all the time. From a statistical point of view, the YoY murder and assault stats in Atlanta are running about twice what they were last year. From a personal point of view, after almost 3 years in the LA area I don't have a constellation of stories from my social group involving violent crime. It seemed like everyone I knew in Atlanta had a story about violent crime impacting their life, no matter how tony their address was.

Don't get me started on the meth. I love how my "gentrified" friends out here swear up and down how Breaking Bad is such a wonderful show, yet I cannot even attempt to watch an episode because I've seen too much of that up close.
As big of a screwup as this is/was, they've done pretty well at recovery. They posted some "fix it yourself" instructions last night (that just require you to change your router's dns settings for a few minutes so the hub can reconnect to where it needs to go - that worked like a charm for me.

Hindsight Bias - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hindsight_bias

If you are so sure that you could predict this, then is it safe to assume that you are worth millions now? I'm sure you can understand that if someone has full knowledge something will take place, that it'd be extremely easy to put money into the system that you could game.

> The point being, people who understand economics is a science and were paying attention to what was going on knew there was a bubble, long before it burst, and in fact, before it startsed to inflate. I didn't figure it out myself, btw, I read an article in 2001 that clued me in.

Economics is a science? I'd love to hear more.
I agree, but I see them as a patch to get something that could be more cleanly achieved with a transactional packaging system.

It's pretty easy to figure out how a system for automatically and preemptively blacklisting people (even one that is opt-in!) can be abused. Creating and fielding such tools does not make you a good person, and it doesn't make you a friend of freedom of speech given how it is used and deployed.

As for the rest, I got somewhat off in the weeds, sure.

I think we need a NFP org to become a trusted auth for these types of things. No way is GoDaddy going to help us here..
"Allowing an arbitrary website to work on a phone isn't really a fad, though." Agreed, but current implementation is mostly terrible, with 6 break points, 1-2MB downloads, everything = single page app, etc. So the concept of write-once, run everywhere is not a fad, but the implementation is very fad-driven.
My SO brought me to a planning meeting for a non-profit, and I met their founder there. We hit it off, and founded a startup together several months later when the time was right. I think it was good to start off being friends first. And having a shared network of friends and business associates helped speed things up.
I was on Vyvanse for 3 years and I never had any dependence or tolerance issues. Quitting was equally as easy. I think the long-lasting pills help separate the euphoric feelings from the actual action of taking the pill, opposite of Adderall which you take 2 or 3 times a day.
Thanks for spotting that, fix in publishing now!
It would be cool to have some sort of docker style version control. Docker has all versions in the same docker file, they just onion the newer ones on top. Roll back and version control would be really easy!
Not much, just that Ubuntu hosts the PPAs themselves, and it's much easier to add them than it is to add individual repos.

I had a friend who had a brief stint at Tesla, now she is in grad school.

She used to tell me stories of how she was constantly asked to work on different teams, doing totally unrelated tasks. She started as a project coordinator but one day she was asked to make sales calls. She also worked on delivering cars as well as give tours to the Tesla factory.
The platform is weighted in favour of the buyers. What I mean by that is the coders compete to win the payout. The buyer doesn't see or own the source code until they pay. Many coders can submit solutions and the buyer can pick the best one to purchase. It's up to the buyer to query the submission fully as a black box and to trust the rating system.
Yes, you are supposed to. But, do you know anyone/any organization that actually does this? I don't.

If you must use an analogy it's a good idea to keep it close to the original act. In this case that could be "accessing the teachers office via keypad". House suggests another level of privacy.

I see your point: ownership provides better control. You can do things that are not possible with a rented item. Sometimes this makes perfect sense. I'm glad I'm not renting my computers and can do whatever I please with them.

Still for some other items for which the amount of control you need over them is acceptably low, you can rent them. I'm fine buying a ride in a subway train or a taxi.

These two approaches have different strong and weak sides, so they will probably coexist for a long time. What we see now is that people start to need less control or maybe even less use of certain things. I don't own a car which is perfectly reasonable in NYC; if I lived outside a metropolis I'd own one. Not owning a house has drawbacks but also has upsides; possibly these upsides, like more mobility, start to overweigh the downsides. For instnace, living in San Francisco or on Manhattan is quite possible when you rent an apartment, but buying a house there is mostly for millionaires.

Question - when I was 15, I did an arp poisoning attack on our schools network, redirecting all traffic through mine(borrowed) laptop. I've started my own SSL server and redirected all traffic to and from Ebay through it, decrypting it - I knew my IT teacher was on Ebay 99% of the time, so soon enough I got his password. Then I went to him and explained what I have done - he actually gave me a highest grade for the effort and was seriously impressed(also muttered to himself that he shouldn't have accepted that invalid SSL cert...).

What would have happened to me if I did this in US? Guantanamo?
Then I guess you chose the wrong side. Dynamically-typed languages produce less code precisely because you don't need to specify the types. E.g. Scala is more verbose than Clojure.
I appreciate the concession that there is no explicit deal that readers will look at ads to pay for media. But there isn't actually such an implicit deal, either. There is an explicit deal between publishers and advertisers, in which money is traded for eyeballs. But to readers, publishers are simply offering free-to-read media in the hopes that they can monetize it sufficiently from views. Publishers can easily set up a paywall or payment system; this works very well in higher-value book-length writing. There there is an explicit deal in which publishers only make media available to readers who have purchased the right to read it. Likewise, plenty of people offer writing up for free, on HN, blogs, &c., without any plan to monetize it.
Do you want anything from them? Equity, severance, back pay, health care for 18 months (i mean besides cobra). If so, this is your chance to negotiate something. All the advice about a attorney, i agree with.
How many items would qualify you for an express checkout? Local supermarkets are maybe < 10 to < 20.

I never make it out of a Costco with < 20 items usually. I usually stock up for a month resulting in a $300-$400 purchase.

I do see people with 1-5 items sometimes. I let them go ahead of me.
