Just my opinion but even if I wanted somebody with a good sense of humour, if they can't be serious at the appropriate time I'd write them off. I'd say no. But good luck & you know your audience better so try it, you can always change it :)
We absolutely care; DDG user from Liverpool here. Not just because of NSA surveillance but because of privacy concerns in general, and especially concerns regarding Google.
They do log the queries, as google does. You can only trust a search engine when they do stop logging.

Any NSL can order them to hand over the logs in certain regimes (bulk or per IP? We know what happened), but they cannot force them to write logs in the first hand. Without logging it will also be ~10% faster.
Without modules you just repeat the same dilemma at the level of classes or even functions.
I think it's pretty meaningful for the exact reasons you state.

If they had gone up millions then they would have used real numbers. Therefore the actual numbers are still pretty low.
Super simple: enumerate your inventions and projects and ideas.

If that's not easy to do there's a good chance they're ideas still germinating in your head. Fine, write those down too. Be general and land-grabby if you like.

I'll bet you can come up with 100 "projects" in about an hour, and that will well protect your legitimate interests/claims.

You can still spend an hour with an attorney telling you
a) you don't have to sign it, but
b) you might not get the job.

But if you have a sweet list, then you're covered.
ah, thanks for that tip :-)
I guess for the case of phone calls you can blame other things such as the tech - a bad connection perhaps, this would avoid personally insulting them.

I am more than a bit shocked. Of course I assumed there would be some abuse of H1B visas, but I never imagined a company would give the workers being displaced proof of such abuse.

Anyone have any more information about (or even a source for) "Google's Chromium security team was more responsive and removed Keychain integration for Chrome noting that it could likely not be solved at the application level"?

As a Spaniard, what a load of crap. We were given billions in European non-refundable development transfers, and we wasted them away in unproductive things like countless massive public projects: unneeded airports, "cities of culture/arts/lights/water/etc.", high speed trains to nowhere and a massively bloated public sector which sometimes seems to exists only to compete in overlapping, redundancy and red tape. Combine that with an incredibly rigid job market and spending-happy politicians and you get tons of debt and unemployment.
My approach was exactly the same as yours and proportionally I paid roughly (within 2-3%) as much tax as I would if I had earned the same amount as a full time employee. About the only thing you are 'dodging' with a low salary as a Director of a Ltd. company and dividends is NIC contributions, which would likely be in the order of £2-3000/year.

The main advantages as I saw them to contacting were:

- day rate roughly twice what I would have earned salary
- honest, mercenary working relationship

What do I mean by funny business? I worked in the City of London for a decade, contracting at some fantastic places and with some great colleagues. I would say I was literally the only person I know (of say, 20 colleagues who's affairs I was aware of) who paid tax the entire time. Most never paid any.

An absolute majority of my colleagues entered into the following arrangement, which will be completely familiar to anyone who worked as a contractor in the UK finance sector between 2000/2010:

1. Invoice via an umbrella company which is based offshore
2. Umbrella preferably based inside Europe outside the EU, Northern Cyprus was very common
3. Umbrella company is owned by a trust
4. As a beneficiary of the trust you will be paid a 'loan' roughly every six weeks, since that's not a salary, right?
5. Loans are not taxable.
6. HMRC completely, totally aware of these arrangements.
7. Figure it out, everyone not on PAYE was in on it.

Via this arrangement you can often get 85%+ of your date rate returned to you as 'loans'. I know people who were on these schemes for a decade and dodged in the hundreds of thousands of pounds in personal income tax.

HMRC has sent letters offering to settle cases with 16,000 people, of the people I know I assume they got caught with their hand in the cookie jar for a couple of years, but overall are supremely better off for never having paid tax for the most productive times of their lives.

These are people who often came through state education, drive on state roads, use public services, in the UK which has a rich left/socialist history and have absolutely compunction whatsoever in shirking all and every responsibility they have to contribute in any way.

And as some people in this thread comment - "well, if I wanted to I could write a check to a charity". I heard that so many times from colleagues who had children at local schools, born in the NHS, earning £150k a year, for ten years, who had never pay a cent in tax.

Enjoy being poor plebs, tax is optional. I chose to pay mine.

In the end, some of these people are still my closest friends, we just have very different principles.

I'm relatively wealth in my peer group (disregarding the non-tax-payers who I'm clearly behind). I could be wealthier, but I'm not a fucking parasite.
If anything people outside of the US care more about the NSA revelations. Because it's an foreign government snooping in shit that they have 0 business to snoop in.

This would be an interesting solution, in special if at the end of the year the worker's transition into green card regime were conditioned to passing a test not unlike the one people applying for citizenship do and, if the worker does not pass, that spot cannot be used by the hiring company for a certain period. Requiring companies that "rent" H1B workers to American clients to actually invest and depend on their staff would probably make the business model of abusing work visas less profitable.

I see a lot of H1B workers that would not fit my notion of "skilled" except for vanishingly narrow fields (those you can master after a week of training).
Heh, I wanted to see how that search looked on Google without any hints in my bubble - my mistake, they show your comment at the top :) On another note I wonder if their indexer is actually that fast on a relatively niche site like this or whether they also index pages as I visit for use in search.
I mean, I love Node for building my webapps, but if I had to write a fast HTTP server for pure speed I'd probably go with C. But I use Node for NPM just like anyone would use Ruby for Gem. It makes it easy to get a production ready rest app upp and running. I agree with what you said, I don't see the point of this comparison.

I have no idea. It's just this phrase on their website "Coinbase will execute an instant sell in the background." could be false if they never bought any bitcoins to begin with. But I admit this is wild speculation based on nothing other than my opinion that it would be a sound financial decision for them just avoid bitcoin for those money transfers.

I completely agree.

It's _vital_ to know what a, b, doSomething and doSomethingElse actually stand for, and what is the context. This is not a technical problem, it's a people problem (like almost all problems).

Take this, for example:

if (userLoggedIn) {
setCookie();
if (itsANiceDay) {
tellUSerToGoOutAndPlay();
}
}

And this:

if (itsSunny && itsCold) {
putOnSunglasses();
putOnCoat();
} else if (itsSunny && !itsCold) {
putOnSunglasses();
}

They both kind of make sense! Now let's see the other way around:

if (userLoggedIn && itsANiceDay) {
setCookie();
tellUSerToGoOutAndPlay();
} else if (userLoggedIn && !itsANiceDay) {
setCookie();
}

This one is just silly. We are mixing logic about two completely different things. Nobody would do that (many people would do that, I know. Too many)

if (itsSunny) {
putOnSunglasses();
if (itsCold) {
putOnCoat();
}
}

This one seems ok. Until you wonder what happens if it rains and/or it's windy. Then you'll refactor it to a "switch/case" for clarity.
And it's all about the domain specific content! You cannot reason only about the syntax tree in isolation and come to a meaningful conclusion!
Boffin just means someone that has an esoteric or difficult-to-master skill.
The issue is that an income tax (which applies to both capital and wage income) taxes savers at a higher rate than spendthrifts.

I.e., if Steve blows all his money on hookers, he pays a 20% tax. However, if Sally judiciously saves her money for a rainy day or unexpected expense, she will be paying a 28% tax rate.
Like others said, beware selection bias.
On the other hand, when someone gets to 100 there is a big chance someone did not do something wrong too often. In other words, if you do wrong things (diet, etc) your potential chances to get to 100 will drop significantly.
Pronunciation verification (correction) software
I start working on a project which should provide service for pronunciation failures recognition and correction.
Task. In one exercise tested only one syllable. We have number of children speech records (syllable, word, short phrase) for both correct and incorrect cases. Tested child pronounces syllable (as it is or inside word) and our service should evaluate how close to correct samples it was.

Is there some software (or SW framework) which implements similar functionality?

We tried to implement prototype with CMU Sphinx, but it looks like this SW doesn't cover our scope.

Maybe he could add a 'context' flag on the search. Instead of the engine trying to discern what you are looking for from your history, maybe there could be a way you could tell it. #programming, #cooking, etc. Not sure what the UI should be.
I use it as a default search engine and I'm very satisfied. The keyboard shortcuts are very handy [0]. I rarely find myself needing a different search engine. Only the images search is not really useful I think (also UI wise).

You can research if the firmware understands MBR and GPT - if it only understands one, then you have to use that. Alternatively use Samsungs own software (I think it's called Magician, can't remember exactly), it will make sure you have the unprovisioned space setup correctly.
Likely even more so. The U.S. is at least making symbolic (if not substantial) changes to laws like letting provisions of the PATRIOT ACT expire, while the UK is secretly making domestic spying legal through secret laws.

So you are overweight and your BMI correlates (and a single data point).

For what it's worth I used to wear EU M t-shirts a decade ago and I haven't put on weight. But the same M t-shirt sold these days is way slimmer than my old t-shirts.
That sounds like a really big opportunity to me. Those bosses are going to want to give you some leeway in order to retain you, which gives you some bargaining leverage.
Quick summary of the keychain "crack":

Keychain items have access control lists, where they can whitelist applications, usually only themselves. If my banking app creates a keychain item, malware will not have access. But malware can delete and recreate keychain items, and add both itself and the banking app to the ACL. Next time the banking app needs credentials, it will ask me to reenter them, and then store them in the keychain item created by the malware.
Chromium security issues are not public visible. At least as long as the security issue remains.
But it's still anecdotal. BMI is a pretty good indicator of obesity for the general population.
Acceptance by conduct is a straightforward and accepted principle of English law.

In the same way as continued use of a website can constitute acceptance of terms of use, showing up for a job having been provided with a contract, but having not signed it, can also constitute acceptance of that contract.

If you don't like contract terms, firstly don't sign up to them but secondly don't start working at a place as if you had signed up to them.

It would be difficult to argue the contract wasn't binding if you had acted in compliance with certain of its terms. The more specific those terms you are complying with, the less likely you would be able to claim you weren't bound by the whole contract.

For example if the contract states you have to travel to a particular location once a week, and you comply with that obligation, you would be less likely to argue you weren't bound by the whole contract.
I am rebutting the point that BMI is useless because it doesn't always work as intended.
This is incredibly accurate, and applies equally well to contracting in other roles than as a developer.
Not if you're actively negotiating the terms at the time.
Would be helpful to know which products you see this replacing (as you mention in your copy that you see it replacing several products costing over $200 combined).

I think Surface can mount up to Core i7 processors ?

Something much thicker would kind of defeat the purpose of being portable.

I believe what we have today is limited more by physical constraints (i.e. I can´t see myself writing code on a 7/8 screen, or typing comfortably on a keyboard that small) than actual technology.

Already, both on the Surface or a small footprint laptop (say, 11' Macbook Air), for me the experience is way worse than what you can get on a slightly larger laptop (13').
Well, shit. Finally I feel justified for never (read: rarely) using the "Save password", feature in my web browser.

Does anyone know if Apple have done anything towards resolving this in the 6 month window they requested? Slightly worrying now that this has been published without a fix from Apple.

but the only way for coinbase to actually move the money from Nigeria to the US or vice versa is to use legacy banking systems (which will charge for the privilege of using their system)or by using bitcoin. Using BTC they can send it for very little cost, the money actually moves from Nigeria to the US, and in the destination location it is converted to local currency.

Try to do that without bitcoin and you cannot do it instantly unless you want to assume the risk that the senders money doesnt arrive, or you make the person being paid wait 7 days for the international wire transfer to be completed.

I state the point of the comparison in the post: to see how TCL's event loop + my code compres.

If you need to collect user information to make money, them perhaps your product isn't that great to begin with (unless you're an ad company like Google, but the we get into the argument who the user is).

Also collection information, so you can grow to become a big brand, I would argue that you've thrown trust out the window a long time ago.
