Either get rid of the patent system altogether. All innovations eventually do good to the mankind. Or we need to form a patent review committee primarily composed of people with great track records. Pick professors, company leaders (like Elon Musk, political leaders, graduate students and average consumers. This committee should be tasked to review all of the patents and purge the ones that are too generic in nature. Reduce the patent age from 100 years to a decade. Change this committee every year and their doings should be VERY transparent. A public facing website where they publish their reviews.
While you are correct, you can at least snuff out a gasoline fire.

Lithium fires do not require oxygen, so your typical Class ABC fire extinguishers won't actually work on it. You need a class D (dry powder) extinguisher, which is very rare and expensive.
I'd agree with you. I'm probably mistaken that in-software SDR can decode GPS fast enough. I would argue though that ASIC manufacturing costs are coming down fast enough that you could ship out your hardware design for a GPS system without ITAR altitude/speed limitations and have a finished product back in your hands in 7-10 business days.
Nylas | https://nylas.com/ | San Francisco, CA (Mission) | Frontend (JS), Backend (Systems+Ops)

Hi! We're Nylas and we're looking for help building the next generation email platform. We're building a missing piece of Internet infrastructure and are looking for frontend application engineers and designers and backend systems and infrastructure/operations engineers to join us.

Companies are building their core businesses around our email API right now, and that means we have to be reliable, up all the time, and fast. We have more data for a single user than in most startups' entire database. We're scaling heavily and if you have experience with automated deployments, debugging running systems, release engineering, and on-call schedules, but are still comfortable writing code, this job might be for you. :)

Many people spend their entire days buried in mail clients which haven't significantly changed in years. Yet have you ever met anyone who really loves their email experience? We want to change that. We're building a frontend framework to power the next generation of mail apps. Sound exciting to you? Apply here.

== We're particularly looking for folks who ==

* Take personal pride in their work and value autonomy and ownership.

* Want the chance to step up and lead a team.

* Put the work before ego. We've got each others' backs, and we want you to be with us on that.

== A bit more about us ==

* Our backend is built on tools like Python, Flask, gevent, nginx, MySQL, AWS, and Debian. We've been careful to keep our architecture componentized.

* Our frontend projects use Coffeescript, React, (Re)Flux, SQL for offline caching, Electron (Atom Shell), and no jQuery.

* Tons of our code is open source. Check it out: https://github.com/nylas

* We're 40% women on our team of 13 (12 engineers), including 1 of 2 cofounders. We want to make that number 50%.

* We have an open vacation policy and value personal responsibility and ownership. Benefits include full health, dental, vision, commuter, and lunch at the office every day. Some remote work / work-from-home is OK too.

Apply at https://nylas.com/jobs. Include a cover letter letting us know what draws you to the job. We welcome and encourage applications from women, LQBTQ folks, and people of color. (We even have some already on the team!)
Yeah, it's a pretty horrible feeling. We were angry with the scammers and somewhat embarrassed that it happened at all.
CS Disco (csdisco.com) | Houston, TX | Operations engineers

Disco, a Bessemer-funded legal technology startup in Houston, TX, is always looking for skilled technical support persons to join our elite support team. Both daytime and nighttime shifts are available.

You will do a combination of direct customer support on high level technical problems and programming/scripting to solve customer issues (often involving large amounts of data and/or textual metadata files).

Programming language of choice unimportant, as long as you rock at something. Impeccable English communication skills also required.

We are working on solving some very big and important problems (including machine learning to automagically classify legal documents), and our founders include a Y Combinator graduate and the youngest-ever Harvard Law graduate, as well as some of the top operations engineers, software engineers, and data scientists anywhere. We work hard and play hard.

Please message us directly at jobs@csdisco.com, and let us know why you might be a good fit for Disco!

I joined the beta UI test in January, and even reported a bug regarding to handling of special characters, namely '<' and '>', in passwords submitted to CloudFlare. So now the new dashboard is finally rolled out to all users.

Several new features found (as a free-tier user) (maybe some of the following were previously pro features):

- More detailed analytics: Unique Visitors / Cached or Uncached Requests / Content Type Breakdown / Traffic Map / Top Visitor Origins / percentage of Traffic Served Over SSL

- HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) settings

- Authenticated Origin Pulls toggle

- Traffic Control / Keep track of firewall events for your site (by request id (Ray ID), IP address, etc.)

- Mobile Redirect / Redirect visitors that are using mobile devices to a mobile-optimized website

- a note field for each firewall access rule

My suggestions:

- Hide the li.slider-nav-prev and li.slider-nav-next as they are unnecessarily displayed on wide screens. Nothing happens when users click on them (until more 'tabs' are added).

- Update the 'Page Rules' tab to match the new design.

Folks in the bay area - we are looking for leadership roles AVP+ in engineering and product. You must be willing to relocate to Bangalore.
As someone who often uses more obscure platforms, it's mostly just assurance that the service will continue to work on my platforms. I can use email from GNU/kFreeBSD fine, because it's just email, I could develop my own client if I absolutely needed to. But I can't run Skype there. I can connect an IRC bot to Jenkins because it's just IRC, I could write the code myself if I needed to. I don't feel confident that I can connect twitter to Jenkins to have it tweet build results (for example), and rely on that bot continuing to exist, because twitter is owned by Twitter and they can do what they like with the terms of service.
Being a programmer implies a kind of mastery over the concepts, of the type that you only get with experience. You only get that experience by having experience with a variety of tools.

Knowing how to use a hammer doesn't make you an engineer. Knowing calculus doesn't make you a mathematician. Knowing how to make a fist doesn't mean you know karate. Knowing C doesn't make you a programmer. Instead, to be any of these things in any meaningful way, you need mastery of a whole constellation of related tools and techniques and ways of thinking, as well as the practice and experience to make them work together.

You can do a lot of things with a hammer, just as you can do a lot of things with any given programming language -- both are very useful general-purpose tools. A programmer should understand the hammers of the programming world (C), the flathead screwdrivers of the programming world (python), the phillips head screwdrivers of the programming world (SQL), the power jigsaws of the programming world (prolog), the needlenose vice-grips of the programming world (awk), and even some of the nylon jeweler's mallets of the programming world (erlang, haskell, befunge) in the same way that you would expect even a relatively mediocre mechanic to recognize and understand the use of all these tools.

A language is a single tool. Concepts are concepts, and you can apply concepts with inappropriate tools just fine (you can write object-oriented code in c or functional code in java the same way you can remove a bolt with vice grips or hammer in a nail with the handle of a chainsaw).

HomeTouch | Lead Developer (JavaScript) | London (local)

We're a care marketplace connecting people looking for home care to carers nearby. Our goal is to solve a social need that touches up to 75% of families globally - how to find trusted, affordable care for loved ones.

Since launch in December 2014, we've seen over 2,000 online care enquiries and over 1,500 hrs of care booked. Thanks to strong growth and recent funding, we’re looking for an experienced JavaScript developer to join the team as our first inhouse tech hire.

You’ll get the opportunity to shape the technical roadmap to evolve HomeTouch from a basic, transactional platform to a product customers love. You have a distributed development team of two to help you and get to input into building an inhouse tech team. The problems you’ll get to work on include everything from the algorithm matching customers with carers, planning and building new features, to enhancing payment automation and optimising the look and feel of the site.
Our stack is MEAN with some additions, e.g. Redis for caching and job management.

I really like this answer. Thank you for articulating it so well.

My one hesitation is that I think a lot of people get satisfied with trying their best within a crappy system. And sometimes you really need to be stubborn and say "no, this isn't good enough. We need to aim for a better end result.

It's not a healthy way to measure yourself, but it makes you desperate to try things that you wouldn't normally. And some of those things will work. And we all benefit from the discovery of a new "ceiling".

I don't see anything in there about people being "literally picked up off American streets."

Yes, that's important. The Constitution grants civil rights to Americans and those on U.S. soil. Outside U.S. soil is the domain of the military and executive apparatus acting under the authority Congress gives them. What the military/CIA do abroad may be bad and maybe something they shouldn't do.[1] If the CIA is doing it on the streets of Milwaukee, that's illegal and something they can't do.

[1] And I strongly agree we shouldn't be grabbing random people off the streets in foreign countries.
Sustain the search for Product-market fit after 12mths
You and I face that risk whenever we travel abroad no matter what country we are from or travelling to. I have never imagined that I have the same protection as citizens whenever I have traveled abroad. We are in large part protected by diplomatic relationships between our home country and the country we are travelling to, as well as our host country's desire to maintain a positive reputation for tourism and business.

If you're really afraid, don't come here. But your absence won't even be noticed because your fears are not truly shared by many, or they would have stopped coming a decade ago.
AutoDesk bought Revit in 2002. They were inspired by the proprietary file format that prevents direct interop by other vendor's cad software.
Thanks for the feedback, I've had the same thought about the popup, so maybe I can move it into the edit text. Otherwise, the result stability issue is important so I'm going to take another crack at it today. Thanks!
Most people don't cook/bake every day anymore, but I do. My wife is a baker and a foodie; we are always making something.

However, I replaced my electric with gas last year.
Maybe this situation better explain the horrors of ww2, rather than the more commonly cited stanford prison experiment. When neither mass media or the legal system are willing to hold people accountable, its hard to create change.
This post has an incomplete and somewhat dismissive take on certificate pinning.

It's true that pinning involves a degree of trust on the certificate presented on the first connection, and that is a weakness.

But that weakness is mitigated. Browsers also rely on the CA signatures for that certificate (pinning augments CAs, but doesn't replace them).

The potency of pinning is subtle, because nobody trusts CAs (and shouldn't!). You have to think beyond just your browser, and you have to grok that CAs are a finite resource for your adversaries. You trust the CA-signed pinned cert for an HPKP site on the first connection. But other browsers have had that pin cached, and when the pin is tampered with, they don't trust it. When they see the broken pin, they can do more than just not trust the connection: they can also relay the evidence that a CA is implicated in signing a certificate that breaks a pin.

Google won't say so specifically, but it's not unlikely that some of the last few CAs to have been burned by trying to sign Google sites were caught because of pinning.

Pinning protects more than individual browsers; it also uses the installed base of pinning browsers to protect everyone, not just those using pinning browsers, by turning them into a global surveillance system for compromised CAs.
Try doing the same with dreams. I find it is slightly disturbing if not downright scary how I can so easily forget such detailed accounts of my oniric life.

It makes me feel like a complete stranger too.

Well, the Ricoh Aficios I checked don't. None of the environmental monitors support https (http or telnet only).

So, my question is what is going to be the best practice to deal with these?
Increases by 10% everyday? On the front page of HN? Show's over. Now look for the MMs to attract buyers as they short it on the way down for buco $$$.
The certainty of guilt aside - I applaud this calculated risk as the alternative relegates the perpetrators to anonymous status ("russian hackers") which negates the gravity of their actions.

Personalizing the scammers makes this situation "real" and while it may not lead to an arrest, it will at least give a precedent for how to handle (or maybe not?) those deemed "above the law" because of their nationality or physical location (outside the US).
Makes me wonder if the US (or Uruguay?) will start seeing TV commercials or magazine ads for marijuana brands soon.
What are our wisdom teeth for and why do we need to pull them out?
We can. I set a simple goal of reading 100 pages a week and was stuggling with reaching that number for quite some time. Then I started to read books that were better written and the pages started to fly by (and it is not exactly that the books were easier - The Strategy of Conflict is an academic book written by an academic but it is still well written).

My guess is that the same is the case for others, which makes for a simple solution: don't read badly written books.
"We're a dozen engineers building the foundation for Dropbox's first office outside San Francisco." - That reads like you're construction workers. (Maybe you are!)
So Syndicate or one narcissistic guy?
Huh, I should have checked that first. How well do you think you could argue that since the treaty did not specify what reference frame you were supposed to use to calculate the 600 m/s limit, you decided to use the reference frame of the receiver and therefore no limit is required because the speed is always 0? I would have thought GPS people most of all would have understood this problem \s.
So you're publicly admitting to several felonies?
You are describing a downgrade attack, which is addressed by HSTS, not TLS.
Virtually all products are outsourced. Apple owns no factories and employs no assembly line workers.

Instead it's formed deep partnerships with certain contract manufacturers (Foxconn). When it wants to pioneer a certain manufacturing technique, it will simply make a large capital expenditure to make the tooling available to the contract manufacturer. Never however will it actually be responsible for the actual manufacturing and assembly of its devices.

This is Tim Cook's doing and it's the model for just about every OEM you see today, from Apple to Xiaomi. Samsung and LG are notable exceptions because they are component manufacturers who became OEMs afterwards.

Edit: There might be some iMac assembly done in the United States, but this is likely using a US-based contract manufacturer as well.
"Our data" does not exclusively mean data we share with others. There are many use cases that don't require our data to live on a centralized system. It is my belief talking about this subject causes a good degree of cognitive dissonance in people who are intent on building systems which rely on centralized storage. The fact is, the only value in centralized storage of data that isn't entangled with other's data is that it brings 'value' to the company and its shareholders. It's not bringing long term value to the users, that's for damn certain.
Interesting point. I hadn't looked at it that way. Do you know about any hard data that shows this clearly?

I'd consider "normal alcohol use" to the the use of it that is so broadly considered socially acceptable that even people who need to keep a clean public image don't have trouble doing it publicly.

You know, wine with dinner. A bottle of beer during a football game. A cocktail at a party.

There is a well-understood zone, both in terms of dosage and surrounding activity, within which alcohol use causes zero problems. Certainly nowhere close to loss of control. There are social rules and expectations reinforcing the boundaries of that zone. Lots of people stay within it and have . . . zero problems.
