If Google and/or Facebook wanted to get a leg up on this, they would provide some guarantee (that the site owner is required to respect) that signing in with Google/Facebook is sufficient to start using the site.

Nothing is more aggravating than deciding to sign in with Google or Facebook, only to make the site force you to create a new username/password anyway.

It's like, the whole reason I was willing to let you correlate my identity with this Google or Facebook account is to buy the convenience of not having to make a new username/password, confirm my email address, etc. If you make me do that anyway, I've sold you a little bit of privacy for absolutely nothing in return. This makes me feel used. It feels like a bait-and-switch.

You're jumping to conclusions. It's possible the details are accurate (or at least come from the horse's mouth).

You don't know what the reporters got from interviews or when. He may well have been interviewed earlier, or advised by his attorney that cooperating with a piece that would portray his earlier actions in a positive light couldn't hurt him.

I don't know how high WIRED's standards of fact-checking are. Customarily, they'd need two independent sources for any statement of fact. (I believe the New Yorker, at least, cleaves to this standard.) I suspect this presages a book on the subject.

> This model of denser, less car-dependent cities is becoming the accepted wisdom across the developed world. “The height [of buildings] is going up; density is going up; borough policies and London plan policies are all about intensification and densification of land uses,” [...] People live very close and they don’t travel at all because everything is on their doorstep; the population in one block is so high, it can support all the amenities you could ever want.

Densely built cities will be a lot easier to build encasings around, that filter the air on the outside before it circulates around inside the encasing, when they'll need it in 20 or 30 years time, than low density single-house cities fed by cars on freeways. East Asian and some European cities seem better suited for this than most in the U.S.

I've been wondering: When you either have nagios or icinga, do you need any other monitoring solution? I remember the FIFA live stream guys from a previous article built their custom monitoring solution (named Sauron). Should they have simply used one of these instead of reinventing the wheel?
> City design allows me to do that.

Not having a large family allows you to do that. Good luck carrying home enough groceries for 6 people.
It's the dawn of the second age of modern cities. There was a period of time in the mid 20th century when cities were being drained of people. Some of that was motivated by a desire to have a nuclear family living in a house in the suburbs with a lawn and a garage. Some of that was motivated by the perception of the cities as an unsafe or unsavory place to live. Some of that was motivated by blatant racism (so-called "white flight"). The population of Manhattan peaked around 1910, as did the population of Paris, the population of Detroit around 1950, the population of San Francisco originally peaked around 1950 as well.

But since around the 1980s or so there's been a revitalization of cities, especially in America. Changes in crime, changes in the economy, and changes in culture have brought people back to the cities. The suburban nuclear family is no longer the ideal for ambitious 20 to 30 somethings. The best paying jobs are no longer factory or industrial jobs outside the city, frequently they are knowledge worker jobs in urban centers. And young professionals seem to prefer the city life in many cases. The crime waves of the late '80s and early '90s (due to innumerable factors, especially the onset of the "crack epidemic") abated by the late '90s, right as the tech boom started. The result of all of these changes has been an influx of population and business back to urban centers.

And that has led to the increasing importance of public transit as well as walkable/bikable cities. Cities are discovering that expecting everyone to drive their car to work every day leads to gridlock, and they are reaping the consequences of low urban populations, low city revenues, and low investment in transportation infrastructure during the mid-20th century. They're also discovering that there are strong benefits to walkable and bikable cities. It leads to generally more appealing downtowns and, at least the perception of, nicer cities to live in. The improvements in telecommunications as well as delivery and other services (smartphones, amazon, uber, etc.) has reduced a lot of the traditional downsides to not owning a car (it's easier to find your way around due to GPS and maps, it's easier to coordinate with friends, it's easier to get important household goods delivered, etc.)

Cars are still relevant, and important, but things are changing in terms of where people want to live and work, and the era of the city designed solely around car transit is finally coming to an end.
To put it succinctly: cars are useful, but also dangerous, and require huge amounts of land to run and store in any quantity. After discovering that trying to rebuild cities with room to run and store large amounts of cars, we've discovered many negative side effects, and so have stopped trying to build cities in such a fashion.

> Magento is a piece of junk

Commerce is hard. Making an extensible commerce platform for all/most merchants is even harder. These two reasons are why there aren't a lot of options in the open source PHP-based eCommerce application space.
Redesign (Magento 2) will be released in Q4 of this year (2015). Beta code is available on GitHub and we are accepting PRs: https://github.com/magento/magento2/

> installation was weird

How was installation "weird" when you were using it?

> developing is slow a cumbersome

Speed of development depends on knowledge of architectural conventions, not unlike getting started with Symfony, Zend, Laravel, etc.

> documentation was lacking

I started building Magento projects in 2008. Documentation was non-existent for a long time (unfortunate given the esotericism of the app). We're solving this for Magento 2 by having tech writers on staff and by soliciting community help (docs are also on GitHub, PRs accepted): https://github.com/magento/devdocs

> search was pretty much broken and it was slow

Search and newsletters are insufficient for anything but the most basic needs. That's why there are so many SaaS search vendors filling this space quite well via free extensions.

> on a shared host, performance must be terrible

Shared hosts are never appropriate for commerce sites due to security reasons. There are a number of specialized small business hosts which run < $50 / month. For shops lacking that budget, well, there will be challenges in general.

I like coming in the office to be honest. I prefer face to face communication and also usually am much more productive at work than at home. I think it's just easier to get into the mood when I'm at my desk at work.

Also, even though not everyone comes in at the same time usually there are "core hours" where everyone is expected to be in the office. At my last job this was from 10-3. I don't think it's too unreasonable for a team to be able to find some time when everyone can be in the office, especially when it's only a few hours long.

Of course, this could all be simulated as well if people had work environments. Still, I find face to face interaction much better than trying to communicate online, even with video chat. Maybe it's just about finding the right software to help, but I find being able to talk at the white board invaluable.
Here I thought it was going to talk about research reactors like the TRIGA but no, its "small" 400MW power reactors.

The links are interesting, especially the times article an the article on Yankee Rowe but it still compares the cost of fossil fuels in the late 60's with nuclear. That cost equation has shifted quite a bit.

Also for really small nuclear reactors (between RTGs and these guys) are ones from Terrapower and Toshiba which are container sized rather than football field sized.

I would also like to see a better breakdown of costs, those are usually missing.

Everyone is going to focus on the discounts thing, but I think this is the real USP (over a standard account):

> Create a single or multi-user business account, approve orders

I've been in a lot of companies where they want to offload buying (e.g. office supplies, computer equipment) but don't have a dedicated department to oversee it, and don't really want to be handing out the company credit card to every employee who might need it.

Amazon's new product has two benefits: You don't have to give other employees the company credit card (presumably) and the orders come back to management for final approval. It is like having your own buying department in terms of friction (as a lot of buying departments seek final approval from management anyway).

This mostly applies to small purchases. Big purchases (e.g. servers, furniture, etc) will likely remain invoiced by the normal means even if just for cashflow. But business I've worked in spend a lot more than you'd think on Amazon just buying "day to day" bits and pieces (that are often cheaper than Staples, or similar local places).
That would be interesting. This isn't quite freestanding Python, in that it's running on Grub so there is a lower layer, but it's still cool despite that.
A lot of the points can be boiled down to "work very hard". But what if you simply are the type of person who doesn't like working? Another point is do what makes you happy. For some lucky folks, work makes them happy, but there's a lot of us who don't like it. And no, it's not just a specific job. A lot of us are just kinda lazy to be perfectly honest. The things I enjoy most are running, eating fine meals, quality times having beers with friends, traveling, reading and playing video games. I do work so I can support myself so that I can do those other things, but I certainly wouldn't work if I didn't have to (and I've worked and saved long enough that I'm fairly wealthy and won't have to for very much longer).

I think one of the reasons is that I don't care about social status or material possessions or competing at who can make the best chat app or anything like that, and work just feels like a grind to me. Sure, some of it is better than other parts, but in the end, I'd always rather be doing something else. I also am not usually impressed with other peoples' career achievements, and getting a promotion or a better job doesn't give me any sort of feeling of accomplishment or 'high', just, well I guess I'm a few years closer to being wealthy enough to get out of this bullshit.

A lot of people will look down on me for this, but I'm ok with that as I'm not trying to win a popularity contest. I just don't think "work hard" is necessarily the best advice to all people. I do think work is important as it's a means of contributing to society, and in the end, I'm glad I did my part, but after I have enough to "get out", I'll have satisfied my conscience to spend the rest of my days having good times and doing things that really make me happy.
It depends on how much effort you put in making sure your parser is robust. I ran AFL tests for several days trying to find bugs in Lua parser but AFL kept discovering a way to load a binary chunk. After that, it didn't take to crash on a malformed binary chunk.
Priv separation is a good idea even if you trust your parser.

> Have you read any history? Riots such as these happened all during the late 1960's in response to much worse oppression during the time period.

My argument is that we are seeing undirected anger as a hail mary. The people are powerless, they know they are powerless, and they are knowingly making their own community permanently worse just to have their voices heard for one weekend. That isn't the same as making completely irrational decisions: it is weighing being heard today over the long term economic success of the community.

Consider this: what would it take to drive you to this behavior? Do you think that these community members are really so fundamentally different from you and me, or is their powerless so persistent and severe that even you and I would become so hopeless and full of rage that we would burn our own community and challenge militarized police?

> 1) form a neighborhood association with a neighborhood police force to handle issues of crime. These police officers would be elected and controlled by the community.

A random person on the street being detained by a random neighborhood police force? I'm skeptical there is a legal basis to allow this kind of behavior, do you have any reference to this kind of thing? Even separate from the legal implications (which are significant), I'm also skeptical that the Baltimore PD would honestly go along with this plan happily.

Unless you're on your personal laptop.

It's a tricky question, one that we've spent a lot of time thinking about at my company (Conjur -- shameless plug, one of our use cases is secrets management). Obviously doing this on a server that others can access/pwn is a bad idea, but that's a very rare use case. Most secrets are being added via the command line from an admin's single user laptop.

In the end, we've settled on what seems to be the same solution as Vault: support other sources (stdin, files, etc.), but allow the command line.

That said, I think you're right that we should look into adding a warning for the CLI tools and placing more emphasis on this fact in our documentation.
Thanks for the feedback! That icon is something I'd like to improve as well.
> > ... there is no other language I can think of with such a small surface area that I can tell students in the first week to learn and deliver an assignment by the second week

As a lecturer, Python would be my other choice, nowadays, for a small surface area language.

I suspect Go has the advantage here simply because it barks at you at compile time over certain errors. Pedagogically, something that students have to run that checks the syntactic validity of their program is probably win.

I emigrated from Lisp->C->Tcl->Perl->Python over about 30 years and Python is still the thing I reach for when I have to whip up a program (yeah, Lisp was nice but I could never afford a machine with enough memory for it not to be a toy--memory was expensive at one point, you youngsters).

Go doesn't really interest me that much. It's a little better at a broad range of things, but nothing that pulls me from the existing set of languages. I'd rather use Erlang for concurrency, for example. Maybe if I had Google-sized codebases I'd care more.

Rust interests me because it is in the same range as most languages for most things but is a LOT better at a very few things.

I'm waiting to hear somebody use Rust in a video game engine. I suspect that C++ will vaporize (one can hope) once someone proves that Rust works in production.
This assumes that the managers know the details of the employee's jobs too. This gets less true when you become a general manager. But there's a big difference between "I'm managing your time" and "I'm managing your result" which the General Manager is on the hook for.

Has Facebook ever pursued companies who violated their ToS regarding storing this data? I highly doubt it. I'd imagine there are tons of similar companies who store this data.

Pretty much every contract gig of mine that involved adding support for FB auth only decided to use Facebook because they wanted the metadata that comes with the FB oauth API. Otherwise they tend to prefer their our email/login systems.

So I don't see what the voting company did as particularly unusual. FB is pretty much unable to control the data it releases to private companies after a user auths on their website and the data gets put in a private database.

The only way for FB to practically protect that data is to not release it, as they've done today.

Stackoverflow: I've given up posting/asking questions. The community is pretty hostile and what was once the very best place to ask questions on the internet now thinks it is Wikipedia and downvotes almost every question that gets asked (even if nobody can answer, and even if there is no linked dupes). It now seems like a badge of honour on that site to mark something as "dup" but often they link to questions which are absolutely nothing like the original. The community is mostly toxic.

After all these years people keep finding new things to do with Python. Amazing. Maybe I can take a stab at writing my own python os.
Are you talking mainly about making changes across a bunch of sites in the same account?
You are probably aware of this. But on Windows and Chrome, when I try to open a documentation page for "templates", it downloads a templates.gz file to my computer. It does this for 90% of the documentation pages. Very annoying, I have to cleanup a few files now :)
Other than that the documentation is really lacking. I wanted to spend time looking into the work you've done but I haven't managed to do much besides having a static file server because of the bad documentation.
I starred the project on github, hopefully it will keep getting better.

And even when you do care about it, there's no way you know in advance how it's gonna go on the field. A friend is actually pretty sad about his job because of the company structure and workflow even though the domain is almost spot on what he loves.

The Company That Send Employees on Free International Vacations
The bazaar works in the sense that each vendor stick to their product.

but with systemd one vendor is "branching out", and offering (tightly) interconnected products.

And for a certain subset of customers, distro maintainers, this offer is tantalizing. Because it may make their life easier.

Or maybe to go back to the meat, it is not the kind of meat thats the problem. But that now you have one vendor selling whole meals.

And to stretch it a bit further, they are not selling it to the eater, but the chef.

Say you have a favorite restaurant, and when you sit down you can combine this meat with that potato etc.

But then one day you come in and you find the menu had changed to pre-set meal. Now if you want your favorite kind of meat you can only have it alongside a potato you barely tolerate (if not downright dislike).

This because the restaurant switched supplier to one that only sell pre-packaged meals rather than individual components.

It's easy to say, but in practice it's difficult to go home satisfied with the concept of a dead end job.

Personally I found plenty of little things to love about otherwise horrible dead end jobs, but that wasn't really the reason to keep going back to work, I was there to get paid to live my life outside of work because the job itself was not really fun or fruitful.
Not at all. The oft-cited 77-cents-on-the-dollar statistic never referred to people in the same positions, or even the same fields.
