Expect a follow-up article in the Washington Post about a covert Chinese internet propaganda organization which successfully planted a story in the New York Times attributing a series of alleged online hoaxes to a Russian organization. The hoaxes seemed real enough - there were youtube videos and twitter accounts and websites - but in reality there was no evidence that the hoaxes had ever actually happened.
Based off of OP's user demographics, I'm really doubtful that a donate option would convert 5-10% or make him any considerable money at all.

I own a similarly popular free app and I offer an option to pay a very small fee to remove ads and get other features within the app. The income from this purchase (which actually benefits the user as opposed to a donation) takes about 5 months to equal what I do in a day off of ads.
> The majority of single mother families are the result of failed marriages and long term relationships.

i'm going to posit that it wasn't a 'failure' of marriage or long-term relationship, it was the complete absence of one. in fact many times women get pregnant in order to attempt to enter one.

that strategy, of course, could be described as .. misguided, but young women don't know that. they are just as stupid as young men in their attempts to secure relationships.
First, you're ignoring the words "such as".

Second, DO-178 was originally published in 1992.
It sucks, but if you wrote it for hire and didn't specifically license it to them, they own it and they can do whatever they want with it.

If you want to avoid this in the future, write up a license agreement with your lawyer (1) that spells out that the client is licensed to use it but not resell it, etc. You create the software on your own time and then license it to them. On top of that, you can charge a normal contractor rate to integrate it into their systems (if they want you to).

Here is the relevant part from a license for a library I made:

"Licensor hereby grants to Licensee, for the term of this Agreement, a nonexclusive, nonassignable, right and license to use the Software on the machines it sells for the purpose of, but not limited to, implementing a _______. Licensee may use the Software in executable format for its own use, and may translate or modify the licensed programs or incorporate them into other software. Licensee may not, however, transfer or sublicense the Software to any third party, in whole or in part, in any form, whether modified or unmodified."

On the subject of contracts. You should should be making these (with a lawyer). Otherwise, you are a the mercy of the clients contract. When you write the contract, you get to set the terms.

(1) Yes, a real lawyer. You should also draw up a services contract for your normal consulting. It will save you money in the long run.
do you have a credible citation to back that up?

Everything I've read on the matter seems to think men are more likely to be abused in relationships than men.
Ask HN: What is a good alternative to Hughes Net?

I'm from Colorado but I have spent the last ten years working in ministry in China. While there I was offering leadership and strategy consultation for ministries and business leaders. I have a tech background, but it's way back.

That said, I have kept on top of most of the trends in technology as I'm obsessed with it (hence why I read HN), and I am a skilled salesman.

I have managed as few as 3 people, and as many as 150.

I technical background to understand your technology and the people skills to communicate it in layman's terms to your customers. If you need leadership/management, a salesmen, or just have a big concept you need to make in to a reality (non-software project management)—contact me.

I communicate well and am ready to get back in the tech world now that I'm in the U.S. again.
Finally, I speak Chinese well (if that matters to you), and the first program I ever wrote was in AWK.

Create passport or visa photo online in one click
I usually take a photo of the candidate's work, but not to evaluate whether it is correct or not; I already know that. I take the photo primarily because the board is about to be erased for the next candidate, and I want to make sure that my notes are accurate when I describe the candidate's strengths and weaknesses.

Having a photo also allows me to compare the candidate's work against that of previous candidates, so that I can ensure that my interview process is well-calibrated.

It is also a preventative measure, so that when a no-hire candidate sues the company claiming discrimination in hiring practices against whatever protected class they are in, I have more evidence than my notes and fallible memory. Fortunately I have never actually needed to use that.
> there will be a truly universal connector

Well, the connector will have a universal shape. But the cables won't work universally (you need special ones for high-speed Thunderbolt), and two things sharing a connector won't mean they'll work together due to different protocols (USB 3, DisplayPort, Thunderbolt, others).

No kids. I telecomute from Wyoming so my cost of living is quite low but I'm paid comparible to developers in the research triangle area (NC). I do not own a house, so no mortgage but I do have some large student loans. Most of my leisure spending goes into groceries since I like to cook and everything else that I do is pretty much free at this point (camping, hiking, biking, kyaking. Once I bought the equipment I'm pretty much set for life).

Running the numbers quick. Based on my take-home paycheck, I have a cash savings each month of 20% and on top of that I'm putting about 10% into retirement. So 30% savings.

Full break down:

20% Cash savings

10% Retirement

30% Student Loans

5% Housing/Utilities/Phone/Internet

15% Groceries

20% Misc & Vehicle Expenses
I just want to thank you for qualifying your description of Apple's contribution to USB-C in a correct manner, as opposed to perpetuating the myth that Apple invented USB-C. It's initial conception having come out of the USB 3.1 development by AMD, HP, Intel, and Microsoft. It is refreshing to see someone not spreading the revisionist history that has been popular on this subject.
Dutch healthcare is definitely not free. In fact, I believe it's the most expensive in Europe, costing more than half of what US healthcare costs. And that's probably because much of it is privatized or semi-privatized.

There has been a problem with excessive waiting lists in the past, but ERs and general doctors have always been totally accessible.

Of course there are always budget issues, but at least they don't drive anyone into bankruptcy here.

> Stay in America and pay the price or go to Europe and die.

Despite their high cost of healthcare, life expectancy in the US is actually lower than in western Europe.
> but OSX it just seems way slower than it should be on a lot of normal tasks.

Well, given that Apple proved that it does no longer any shit about OSX by having the audacity of releasing their Yosemite train wreck to the end user, I would not expect any 3rd party vendor to give a shit either.
But they don't control the IP for the actual boost circuitry. Thats trivially easy to do. And from the comments in this thread it seems like lots of electronics already do it.
Except that the article actually says the opposite.

> Consider Cai Li (who asked her real name not be used in this article), a 34-year-old marketing executive in Shanghai: she is smart, engaging, hip and attractive. She is also the divorced mother of an 8-year-old girl. When she caught her husband, a Taiwanese businessman, philandering five years ago, she didn't hesitate. "I divorced him as soon as I could," she says. "He was shocked. He thought I wasn't serious, that I wouldn't do it because of our daughter. I said, 'You'll see'. And within a week I had filed the papers [for divorce]. And why wouldn't I? Why should I put up with that? I have parents here in Shanghai who help take care of my daughter, I had a good job. Plus, if I want to get remarried, it's not as if there's a shortage of men, even at my age, who would be interested. [My ex] was crazy to think I was going to stick around."

> The only problem for Cai was that her parents sided with her ex. "They had a typical Chinese reaction. They said, 'Oh come on, he probably won't do it again. It's not that big a deal anyway'," she says. "It was a generational attitude. When they were young, people put up with it, I guess. But I told them, not now. I was really angry. I put my foot down. Things are different now."

Is this one woman an exception?

Yeah I've seen this, and gone over it with him. He has some added exposure due to Steam which is another potential risk. I added a bullet point for that.

Thanks for pointing this out but what do you think about the VPS vs VPN. It has an increased exposure to attack because everything else you do on your pc isn't being routed through the VPS.

It also doesn't do anything for best practices for avoiding other forms of hacking. So it's a good guide but definitely incomplete.

I looked pretty hard, I spent the better part of 4 hours just looking around and reading these sort of articles and evaluating whether or not a VPN or a VPS would be better. And in retrospect a VPS might actually be better for his skype connection. So thanks for pointing me to this again so that I could think on that again. I wouldn't have gone back through it otherwise.

The obvious choice today would be armv7, using the R.Pi2. The only real advantage I see over x86 would be that the performance model of Cortex-A7 is much simpler than that of any modern x86 core, so it's much easier to isolate performance effects that one would like to study in an architecture course.

A Cortex-M3 or -M4 would be significantly nicer still for that reason (also it has a nice stripped down ISA), but I don't know of any systems with as much nice tooling as the R.Pi.

!! gets weirdness points for not being a builtin operator, and ++ gets weirdness points for the subtleties of how it acts on certain things, and for being different in prefix and postfix.

I assume that's a yes to allowing ++ at all. In my opinion ++ generally does a good job of conveying intent, and !! does a very good job of conveying intent.

This is a very grave error. If this caused damage to open source projects then I could see a class action suit against GitHub.

1. Duty of care - should never have accepted keys provably weak.

2. Poorly communicated that username.keys was available, thus many users may have thought their keys weren't at risk.

3. No countermeasures from crawlers mass collecting keys. (Not they they should even need to do this - they should just have done #1 in the first place!)

This isn't a game man, GitHub hosts a ton of the world's open source code and they're supposed to be experts in cryptography and security. Russian mobsters, NATO spooks, bitcoin drug cartels, and even high school script kiddies are all constantly trying shit and it impacts us all not just the people with weak keys. If python core gets backdoored I get backdoored, no matter how careful I am with the software I install.

> Being a properly free and unrestricted environment to work with and work in is not

So why didn't you say that? You said "I was referring to Linux as a proper, unrestricted Unix-environment"

To be pedantic, Linux is the kernel. The environment, is the GNU userland, which is specifically NOT UNIX.

Yes I know it's Unix-like. But when you start your complaint with "it's not proper" try to at least know what you want it to be and what you don't want.

OS X is a "proper UNIX" operating system.

GNU/Linux distributions are free unix-like operating systems.
I don't know what's involved in Pre.

But GE involves CBP going through employment/address history as well as every time your passport's been used and any issues you've ever had at a border (I know because I heard a guy at the next desk being grilled in his interview about a piece of fruit in his luggage when I was in my interview). And NEXUS involves having both the US and Canada run checks on you independently.

So in terms of rigor, NEXUS > Global Entry > Pre seems to be the way it goes.
https://dnsimple.com/ - I have used them previously for personal and business use. Migrated anything I control off because they charge a yearly subscription (on top of registration/renewal fees), they don't (or didn't at the time) support DNSSEC at all and their only 2FA option is Authy, which is fucking terrible.

https://www.hover.com - My initial destination for some domains after DNSimple (and would have been for more too) until the whole "oh you want DNSSEC? $500 per domain please" shit storm.

There are doubtless others - I'm not saying they are the best service, I have clearly found issues with both, but they're very much aimed at the "fuck this domain shit is hard can't someone make it easier" segment the market, who have different priorities than me.

I don't know what Namecheap does/doesn't offer as I've never used them - what sort of features are you thinking about?

Yes, just about every damn PHP project I inherited that wasn't bound to a framework, or wasn't an existing OSS project.
I think the relevant standard for comparison, from a safety point of view, is with mechanical throttle linkages that were used before throttle-by-wire. And it's pretty obvious that the mechanical linkages are less reliable: they involve a long cable snaking around the engine bay. A sticky throttle used to be a common complaint. With these systems, it's not. And of course, it's the multi-channel redundant brakes that are the critical backup safety system here.

BTW, I read through Barr's attempted reengineering of Toyota's ECU (his slides are linked in the comments). It's just making me angry. After going on and on about how bad Toyota's code is (spaghetti, blah blah blah), he starts presenting his failure modes: suppose that a random hardware memory error flips some bits in the CPU's task table. Then the task monitoring the pedal angle is going to die. Now to get actual unintended acceleration as described (when the driver is pressing the brake), you also have to suppose that the throttle position variable is corrupted at the same time. Other than the general unlikelihood of this, consider: suppose that Toyota's code did not contain any "spaghetti" or global variables. Suppose in fact that it was beautiful enough to make angels weep tears of joy. Would that make the slightest fucking difference, pardon my Japanese, when you start flipping bits in the task table? Of course fucking not.

His complaint amounts to amateur backseat engineering: you protected variables A and B from corruption by having multiple copies, so why not C? Your watchdog will restart tasks X and Y when they die, so why not Z? And so on. Which is an OK suggestion for the future, but how are they liable for something for not making an already extremely safe system slightly safer, when it's much safer than previous systems, and has a fantastically reliable backup?

>These days I reside in a country which has unions everywhere - including in engineering disciplines. And everyone who wants to increase their salary runs away from union and unionized workplaces as far away and as quickly away as possible.

Makes perfect sense. Unions negotiate lower salaries for everyone. sarcasm

>It CAN happen? Why hasn't it, except for guilds (which you rightfully group with business owners)? I can tell you why it didn't happen in unions I'm familiar with: The union representatives who negotiate on behalf of the employees and the people who can score a >$200k salary are mutually exclusive groups. In fact, they negotiators are usually those who wouldn't score more than the prevailing average in an industry.

Why are union members usually people with low salaries? Simple. Only the least skilled are desperate enough to form unions. They have to do it in a sense. Software engineers are complacent with their super high salaries, not knowing that their 120k annual salary is based off work that generates 1 million in monthly revenue. Thanks to the lack of unions, if you try to negotiate a more than fair 500k annual salary the company will shoot you down. Due to another idiot SE in the world who thinks he's only worth 120k, you're easily replaced without a union backing you up.

>At which point, they are happy to sign an agreement for just 5% than the prevailing average - and they do so in the name of the more capable employees as well.

There's no need to negotiate upper limits on pay. There also should be no need to end individual negotiations. If unions aren't currently structured in a way that benefits the employee then the structure of what we consider to be a union should be changed.

>Other things that happen is stuff like management requesting the union to agree that "no employee will be paid higher than their manager". Which union officials always agree to (for various reasons), and which causes your most productive employees - those who are at the top of their fields but not anywhere near the top of the managerial ladder - to abandon ship.

why does this need to be agreed too? There's no need for this to be agreed to at all. No upper limits to salary. Who wants that? Union members should vote for what they want. Union officials should be held accountable every decision they make. Only lower limits on salary should be negotiated with the union and employer. The actual salary should be a separate negotiation between employee and employer.

IF unions aren't structured that way then they should be. The government shouldn't decide on some arbitrary hierarchy for a union that ends up not benefiting people. People acting together in organized groups generally don't want to fuck themselves over with stupid things like upper limits to salary and ending all individual negotiations with the employer.
