To be honest, this doesn't seem like a great deal, unless you're the sort who wants that piece of paper validating your existence. Classes for an MS (at least in my experience at a top-10 US university) are not particularly more valuable th

Yes, in (US) legal circles this is known as the "Third Party doctrine". Justice Sotomayor has said in at least one opinion that if we want to re-vamp privacy laws, the third party doctrine is what needs to be reversed, and that she may be w

How open are you to hiring people without distributed systems experience? I've interested in large scale distributed systems, but have no experience there. (I'm currently a functional programmer by trade, so I feel like there are a lot more

I think it also depends on the language too. In languages with more expressive type systems, you can usually make an educated guess about something based on the type signatures it has. For the dynamic languages, though, reading the code is

Yeah, I guess I had no idea USAs were segmented like that. Would it not make more sense to have them segmented by type of law, since they're all arguing in federal courts anyway? (Obviously I know nothing about law :-)

It's interesting that Carmen Ortiz is the (a?) US Attorney who is working on this. I would have thought they were compartmentalized by type of crime a bit more.

I'd be interested in relocating to the Denver/Boulder area, but I'm not sure any of the positions you've got listed for that area really fit my skills or interests. Is there some address that I can mail you at to talk?

Well, no. Mining is as profitable now as it's ever been, since the price is so high. Sure, you won't be mining 1 BTC a day any more, but when 1 BTC is $200 it doesn't matter. Further, the announcement you linked to (by Butterfly Labs) isn't

Why does every host offer a plan that scales at the same rate in every column (CPU, RAM, Disk space, bytes/month)? I can think of almost no application which requires lots of all of these. Why isn't there a host which allows you to scale yo

Yes, exactly. There's never been any case law on the issue, but in the ideal theoretical world, exit node operators would get the same protections from what their users do that ISPs do. Unfortunately, since we're often a single guy with no

It's worth noting that the statistics may be skewed because e.g. of US-based operators run their nodes at foreign ISPs due to fear of US law enforcement. Countries with more "liberal" policies probably have more nodes because of this, but i

I think his point was that his parents don't just use the search field -- they use google. That is, they'll search for google and then they'll search for what they want. If google ever quits paying apple, this is the bet they'll be making.

Why? He's being honest about his expectations. If a recruiter thinks they're unreasonable, the recruiter is free not to contact him. Sure, he may not be worth that much so nobody will contact him, but he's not really looking anyway, so he d

I'm the maintainer of a small but reasonably active project, and the most frequent criticism I hear of the project is that our documentation sucks. And it's true! Several people have offered to write documentation, but I've never received a

When you're a US attorney, yes. It's not like there's some other federal government you can go work for. Her job market is not as liquid as ours.

Yeah, I don't disagree that he probably was innocent. My point is simply that this isn't the Hacker News hacker, but the talking head hacker.

I don't see how it is at all related to privilege; in almost every case he cited, it's cheaper to go minimalist. Let's look at his (perfectly reasonable) list of examples: - Rent a furnished apartment. This one you do need more $$ for. I do

Funny this was posted, I just came to this realization myself recently. I've always known it, but I didn't really /realize/ it until about two weeks ago. So, I've begun selling things on craigslist. I've made $147 so far, which doesn't seem

Yes, very! What about amending our profiles? I just signed up and have a github profile, but not a resume that's particularly up to date. Is there some way I can add it if I brought it up to date?

Sorry, but how is that picture evidence that the US system sucks? I don't disagree that we have a poor system, but "everyone else is doing it" has never been a justification to do anything!

Wouldn't it be easier to use some kind of formal grammar and a parser instead of the stack based thing you describe? In that case, lisp is probably one of the easiest languages to parse since it is all parenthesized s-expressions and not wh

Thanks for the link! I checked out both of these pages; looks like an project that would be very useful! However, it looks like the focus of both projects is what you can buy or who you can donate to. Neither of their walkthroughs talk abou
