Very nice and simple. Maybe you can expose this as a public API too?

More importantly, what do they do to keep users from jailbreaking the device via software? Especially with Android, there are a lot of software root flaws and the privileged surface area is a lot bigger than the hypervisor AWS uses for EC2.

The reason it works so well is that Trevor started with the question "why is OTR so complicated?" and began removing parts until he had the minimum. Then, he looked at that and built a completely different protocol that achieved t

Yeah, we'll see about making a one-off just for searching for this flaw. We add issues to our index constantly, and many are security-related but not this one. Thanks for the tips, and we'll try to do better next time.

I hear you. We also track security flaws in apps and users can see all of their apps' issues. We don't yet have a way to separate which issues you can see. We're trying to figure out the right balance between allowing anybody

Hey Mike, we had to make a judgement call on this one. We know exactly which ones (there are about 3,000), but it's something you'd probably be sensitive about if you're affected, right? These aren't bad or minor develop

Hi Chris, sorry you think that. I see you're a Googler, and actually I first heard about this issue from someone on your Play team. I haven't seen any discussion of it outside an obscure post on Google's Android blog -- have

Hi, I'm the founder of SourceDNA and I can answer any questions you have. We've built an index of the code in iOS and Android apps, so we can quickly answer detailed questions about how they were built. In this case, the Android N

I think "scumbag flags" is an extremely inflammatory conclusion to jump to. How about these are all signs for "just getting started"? Sure, if you don't want to do business with a brand new startup, just wait a bit

Gordon Moore first proposed 12 months in his article, then dropped back to 24 months a few years later. That number has held since the 80's, until now.

Fair enough, so your question is one of equal accommodation and not hiring. What this boils down to is how they implement their signup and sourcing process, which is something you're absolutely right that they'll need to do proper

I think this is a fair question, and I'm sure they'll address it in whatever way is necessary. As a startup, it's best to have a focus, otherwise you're just another generic recruiter. It's possible that they'l

This is a more substantive question but there's a lot of evidence it's not a problem. According to your article, eHarmony was sued in 2008, created the "separate but equal" site, and then merged them in 2012 after more c

There are many problems that cause the population of tech candidates to be skewed, but one you may be overlooking is literally not knowing job openings exist or who to talk to. I grew up in a small town, did not know anyone in the tech indu

No. There is a website that still exists called ChristianMingle.com. I just checked their signup process and for the question "how often do you go to church?" you have to choose between "on special occasions" to "ev

I'm trying to answer your question. Choosing who to list on a jobs website is not a hiring decision. The candidate does not work for Jopwell. Jopwell cannot fire them nor pay them anything. Hiring law does not apply to a recruiter, exc

by NateLawson 11y ago
This is exactly right. There is no such company which is rushing to drop their Stanford recruiting program, friends and family referral bonus, or other sources solely for Jopwell. This is not a problem that will ever exist in our universe.

by NateLawson 11y ago
Their business is not in hiring, they are a talent agent. Candidates can choose to list themselves with Jopwell or not, and there is no exclusivity so they can list themselves multiple places. It is just an additional source of people for t

Was Facebook a discriminatory service by initially requiring a supported college email address to sign up?

This is a company that is working very hard to provide an ADDITIONAL source of candidates, emphasizing traditionally under-represented groups. If it helps you any, put it in a different context: think about a recruiting firm focused on help

This is a terrible, terrible comment. These guys are a recruiting service, and do not make hiring decisions. Companies can continue to source candidates from wherever they want -- local high school, boat docks, Facebook, friends and family,

Yes, that's a good point. Though I'm not sure what Go library would be worth the couple MB runtime overhead purely by itself. Ideas?

Yes, this is what I was trying to say.

Yes, direct GL access with a thin app delegate is the most common way C++ game engines like Unreal Engine, Crytek, and Marmalade are packaged for iOS and Android. There's no reason you couldn't do that in Go too, except for the la

Thanks, looks great. BTW, the notes say no support for os/exec, but this library code is definitely present in both apps. It may not be usable though. :-)

Go recently ported the toolchain to being self-hosted, so hopefully they can keep code-generation up to date as well. There's nothing special about the current Go mobile runtime so it should work on Android x86 as well. http:/&#x
