It's not remotely exploitable --- it requires installing a malicious app; that makes it far less severe than something that could be done through e.g. just visiting a webpage.
I would suggest looking at Stackify. We track exceptions similar to all the other mentioned tools in this thread, but we also provide log management. Having exceptions & logs together is a lot more powerful.

For example, we can show you all of your logging statements that happened before and after the error on the same web request.

Meh, life's too short to mince words so here's my opinion FWIW.

Singapore competes solely with South Korea for the most boring country in Asia title.

Proven totalitarian government? Check. Omnipresent surveillance? Check. Arguably virtually exists only due to US foreign policy? Check. Horrendous drug policy involving death? Check. Ridiculously straight-edge society of a virtually caste nature involving 90% nine-to-fivers with no moral compass or interests outside work? Check.

Somehow given the facts I don't see flocks of free thinking musicians, artists or technologists settling there any time soon. Yes, it can be done. No, it's not very pleasant.

For places in Southeast Asia with real formative startup communities with the psychology and potential co-founders to match, try Vietnam (either Hanoi or Saigon) or Thailand (Chiang Mai or Bangkok). There have been runaway successes from Sri Lanka (London Stock Exchange runs on a gutsy core market rewrite done by a Sri Lankan startup) and India too, though I'm less convinced in their communities so far.

Yes, but the researchers submitted an app with the exploit to the app store, and it was accepted.
No, didn't know that looking just at the file format is sufficient. BTW: I'm no security specialist so excuse me any stupidity here ;)

I called him out and conforonted him yesterday, I was leaving the office and the conversation was something along the lines of:

Me: "I'm leaving."

Boss: "Okay."

Me: "Can I ask you for a favor?"

Boss: "Yes?"

Me: "Please call me by my name. I do respect the team so I'd like to get the same respect back."

Boss: "Okay, yes"

Me: "Bye"

Boss: "Bye"

I came to the office today and he gave me an apology. He also mentioned that when and if I have a problem again, I can speak my mind to him whenever I want to but in private rather than in front of others.

He also mentioned that he was "joking" and that he doesn't call most people by their name. He also mentioned that we are "different" and I'm not sure what he meant by that, but I don't care.

Anyway, he said he won't disrespect again and we shaked hands and moved on, but it's good that he apologized. I hope the apology was sincere though.
No, it is not for the web if it still requires a plug-in in this era of Webrtc, which is aimed at eliminating the use of plug-ins, at least the prevalent media plug-ins.

The Skype app perhaps needs to be re-engineered/overhauled. Why would it still need another app to be installed on an OS? We could forgive MS that it only runs on the Chrome browser at the moment but can't they implement their centralized architecture of the app to run only on the web? The app used to be some sort of P2P before now.

I'm in my junior year of college for my CS degree and any software engineering internship I try to get rejects me because I don't know the answers to the technical questions. I've tried studying for these as best I can but it doesn't ever seem to help. I'm at a loss as to what I should do. If I can't even get an internship then I have no idea how I'm going to get a job. Any suggestions?
Can someone explain why "Maker" is capitalized and "Factory Owner" or "Engineer" isn't? It seems that there's a certain amount of pretense among so-called "makers." How is a maker any different than any other kind of manufacturer? I am not trying for snark; I actually don't understand what distinguishes this 'maker' label from any other kind of manufacturer. Did we start calling chefs "Cookers?" It just seems like this attempt at being "Makers" rather than manufacturers smacks of pretentious hipsterism. How is this scene any different than people fifty years ago who manufactured toasters?

It isn't a perfect solution, but the arXiv[0] has preprints of papers from a vareity of disciplines. A similar website exists for cryptography research, though I can't recall the name right now. Authors in many fields propagate the copyediting from the journal versions back to their preprints and so the preprints contain the same information as the "official" published paper.

Granted, not all fields utilize such a preprint server, but in some fields, the public's access to research results is not as dire as your comment states. There is, of course, still significant room for improvement, even in fields that use preprint servers.

They do give free legal advice to non-members, at least when I asked for help in Denmark.
This isn't legal advice. As a practical matter let me tell you exactly what I, personally, would do in your exact situation, as an employee. I am very open and approachable, and have never gotten into legal trouble with anything. I personally would feel completely comfortable following the steps below and would not personally consult a lawyer. I am telling you precisely what I would do if I place myself in your shoes.

First, in the contract, you state that the section you mention talks about past, and about present IP. I would, on the appropriate page, prominently cross out the section on past IP (completely) and date and sign (full signature) the margin. (i.e. indicating that IP created before employment isn't covered or referred to at all).

In the same section, regarding the present and future inventions, I would write by hand in the margin "Except on my own time and outside company resources" in the margin of that section, and date and sign (full signature) it.

So there are two changes: completely cross out the entirety on past inventions; add an explicit "Except on my own time and outside company resources" regarding present and future inventions. (I would retain the language, i.e. not cross it out completely.)

I would then sign the last page of the contract (i.e. wherever your signature belongs) with a note saying "except past IP, p.6" (or whatever page it appears on) and date and sign that.

This to me makes it completely clear exactly what I agreed to, anyone glancing at the signature would be told to look at page 6, where they would see a totally reasonable crossing out of past IP assignment, and a totally reasonable statement that I own IP created on my own time. No reasonable human could possibly be anything less than satisfied with that. I would also be satisfied with it if an employee gave me that back.

It's a lot better than underhandedly trying to change the contract without calling attention to the change. It's precisely what I would do. Anyone who said, "we're really going to need your own IP" would look really silly. I don't think I've met anyone who would have the gall to say that. You've also signed and returned the contract.

Hacking Elixir's Syntax
You seem to be ignoring my two other data points. Similarly, bandwidth costs are small, unless you're really pumping out a lot of data. I don't even notice our EBS transfer costs on our bill.

And how reliable a measure is UnixBench, when the top-performing server "CC2 Large" (by a factor of 25% over second place!) is a 2-core, 8GB RAM offering? It easily beats out all the two-dozen core, high-ram offerings below it.

Hell, the names of the AWS instances in that list aren't even correct. What's a "high-cpu medium"? They mean a "c1.medium" from looking at the stats page, which is now two generations obsolete - you have to know about them and go out of your way to provision one. The one name they do list, "m3.medium", is incorrectly labelled a "high i/o" VM; AWS doesn't have a "high i/o" VM, and the m3.medium is not considered by them to be network-, ram-, or storage-optimised, so I'm not sure where that's coming from. And if you do need disk i/o with AWS, you can provision reserved i/o (not very expensive), which needs to be accounted for in these comparisons. It's just getting my goat at the moment, because my comment was trying to argue against FUD, but that reference list can't even get well-known and advertised names correct.

AWS billing is complex, absolutely, but there is also a ton of flexibility, and it makes sense once you pass the learning curve. And micros do get throttled, but they also get a certain number of "throttle credits" that help them survive bursts. And yes, I agree that you should choose the right tool for the right job - one HNer really uses that huge amount of free bandwidth you get with the small DO servers with a media streaming service (I forget the handle). But that still doesn't change the fact that AWS is no longer "OMG expensive!" over DO.

Building GeoSenti as Lean Startup
I'm kinda confused about the bang syntax. Chrome offers something similar to that, that I use similarly. Their search engine shortcuts allow me to do very similar stuff. I alias wikipedia to wp and simple hit command/control+l then type wp and it searches wikipedia. Does DDG just route you to the site?
DDG is based in the US, therefore it is entirely possible that they have been ordered to keep logs and track everything the users do on that site with a gag order.

Being based in the US is a dealbreaker for privacy.
I'm working on a hobby project, GeoSenti based on Lean Startup Methodology.

Value hypothesis: SMBs with physical locations of importance (Restaurants, retails and hospitalities) want to identify the potential customers nearby them through social media and give them incentives to consume their services/products, especially during the idle time.

The goal is to test the market with a Minimum Viable Product (MVP), generating qualitative and qualitative data before committing more resources or just terminate.

Looking forward to your feedback ;-)
Buy a Surface Pro 3 and use a wireless keyboard/mouse. That's more or less what you're asking for. I will admit you'd need pretty heavy duty velcro to attach it to the wall, but it likely is do-able if you don't mind having a completely fuzzy-backed SP3.

Interviewing is a skill. There's a lot to performing well in an interview above and beyond knowing the answer to a question. Practicing is key. I have a lot of good friends that their first time interviewing they didn't manage to get any internships (even though they had a strong background), but after they got interviewing experience they landed almost every job they wanted. (Google, Facebook, Microsoft and so forth)

In order to move BTC from the US to Nigeria, they'd need BTC buyers in Nigeria. Given that the two economies are asymmetric (particularly in terms of how much can be bought in BTC currently) that's a bottleneck.

By contrast, big banks offer large scale international currency transactions for fractions of a percentage assuming you maintain a minimum balance. Coinbase could profit by making the exchange rate advantage cover the bank's very small fee.
Early vs. Beginning Coders
Which is ironic because Apple is ending up on exactly the same road MS took in 90's.
I'd say about 75% of the time it gives me what I'm looking for. The other 25% I end up using !ge or typically !so since what I'm looking for is webdev related and Stack Overflow usually has what I need. The !bangs more than make up for any lower quality in search results, imo
but you are not obligated to sign unless they are compensating you adequately for what you are giving up

In the US, at least in general, this is a contract, and without the employee getting "consideration" it's not valid. And mere continued employment doesn't count, they'd have to give you something extra such as a raise or bonus.

I use DDG as my primary search engine, but I almost never perform a search without using a bang pattern.

Is there absolutely no chance that even 90's era Lycos could ruin this search? Use the blank ! and skip the list.

Do I need a brief overview before I do more refined research? Use !wiki

Do I have a bug in my code? Use !so

Did Stack Overflow have nothing about my bug? Use !scholar

For any other search, I just wind up putting in !g and letting Google handle it because, if I haven't found it by this point, the regular DDG search probably isn't going to help.
Wfc.help go ahead and try.
I wonder if the new "Rootless" feature prevents this, and if it was developed because of this.

This is a completely standard form that I've filled out for every technology job I've ever had. It's really nothing to worry about. Everyone on this thread telling you that you have to talk to a lawyer is being silly. It's a waste of time and money.
Yeah...I saw people try to do this during an acquisition and get told they could sign or leave.
I agree with you. This is why I will probably never go contracting. These my observations:

You have to be an expert in the required area. Example: you have to be a Java Developer. If you are a software engineer that uses Java as one of your tools, it's not gonna fly, because god forbid you won't know by heart some java specific library/method/quirk/etc during your interview - this will be immediately filed under as a "NO" under "can hit the ground running" section, no matter how good you are at software engineering as a whole. In the end you will work with handful of "proven" (read "old, outdated") tools and become an expert of handling all kinds of legacy mess.
Browser fingerprinting is unique enough that they can likely track you without sending a single persistent byte to your machine.
I'm not sure I got the grammar right, but - being based where isn't a deal breaker for privacy? Any government might compel a business to do stuff and to keep quiet about it. The fact that the US actually did it kinda suggests that, I dunno, Russia or China are certainly doing it. Note as well that the US or another powerful state can compel a smaller state to do things to businesses based there, and keep quiet about it. So even if you trust some state more than you trust the US when it comes to secretly doing things that you don't like, you'd need to also count on it to be able to say "no" to the US as well as other powerful states... good luck with that.

If you want your searches to not be used for targeted advertising, DDG sounds like a sensible option, actually. If you don't want governments to know what you're searching for, that sounds really hard to strongly guarantee. (I'd think they're logging your communication way before it reaches the server, in particular.)
'Third of July, 2015' or more likely 'third of July'. The date format really isn't lying to us in UK English.
I've been using ddg as my main search engine for close to a year I think. It's definitely not as good as google but it's good enough most of the time.

My main concern is that it's still a free service and I really don't see how it'll be sustainable in the long term without compromising privacy in their current model. If you're not the customer you're the product etc...

I'd gladly pay $10 a month for a "premium" search engine with strong privacy garantees. I'm definitely not going to enable ads in ddg and I can't imagine that the average duckduckgo user thinks differently.
I never understood the appeal of !bang - browsers have had that built-in for a long time. You just right click on the Github search field, choose "Add a Keyword for this Search" and then type some keyword like "gh".

Then just type "gh <query>" on your location bar and it'll search directly in that site.

6 problems driverless cars will need to overcome
Got you - I completely agree, I think that is a disgusting attitude. I wasn't sure if you were referring to people saving a few extra £k a year by running a Limited company and expensing things in a totally legal way, or something more drastic - I was assuming the OP was referring to the former, probably read it wrong.

And I absolutely agree about the advantages. I like the fact that I can work for smaller companies on interesting projects who wouldn't be able to pay the kind of permanent salary I would be looking for, and I like the flexibility and potential for variety. I've always found leaving permanent jobs, even for good reasons, a horrible experience - almost as if you are breaking up with them! - so while I'm in a period of my life where I would like as much varied experience as possible, I think contracting makes sense, as long as you are willing to put in the work a) to deliver good results for clients and b) to keep yourself up to speed with technologies.

One thing I haven't seen many people mention on here is that as a contractor, you're much more responsible for your own personal development. If you aren't a motivated self-learner (chances are, if you are reading HN then you at least somewhat match that description though) then you could easily get stuck doing one set of technology and not learning much new (which suits some people well, of course), as companies are a lot less likely to "take a punt" on a contractor who doesn't know their tech stack - they don't want to invest money in getting someone up to speed who is only there for a short time period.

By the same token, I wouldn't expect any significant training to be provided to you as a contractor, so if that kind of thing is important to someone, maybe contracting is not for them. I've been quite lucky so far and been able to move into new areas/technology based on evidence that I can pick new things up, but some places definitely aren't interested in you unless you are already well versed in their tech stack.
Rootless is more about securing the OS files and processes from malware.
The fundamental design flaw of all of these compromised password managers, keychains, etc. is that they keep state in a file. That causes all sorts of problems (syncing among devices, file corruption, unauthorized access, tampering, backups, etc.).

Edit - I seldom downvote others and the few times I do, I comment as to why I think the post was inappropriate. What is inappropriate about my post?

Few people stop and think about the burden of keeping state and the problems that introduces with password storage. Many even compound the problems by keeping state in the Cloud (solve device syncing issues). It's worth discussing. There are other ways.
I didn't read the article but the first thing that jumped into my head is why are they comparing the size of a continent to sizes of countries?
Macaw indigo was really an app for starting a design but it worked via a proprietary file format. It could export html but couldn't open it.
