"And so meetings felt wonderfully relaxing. They counted as work, just like programming, but they were so much easier. All you had to do was sit and look attentive." Pretty true.

Seriously, what kind of a company will design "Tombstone Cam" for surveillance in cemetery ? To catch a pervert or predator or human-eater? This is bizarre.

"You can also do client side encryption, of course, but it's much more difficult to manage because you have to deal with keys in your application."

Well,SSE-KMS is not difficult to manage if you have sensitive customers data like Capital One does. I use it all the time. You can pretty much audit the buckets and see what is going on.

And if Capital One has used SSE-KMS on the buckets,we might not be talking about this data breach today.Incompetence? Complacency?

Well, I am not surprised at all. In US police,not all of them, often lie under oath.It is called ‘Testilying.’[0]

I will add that zoning is the first thing that needs to go in San Fransisco.One of the most liberal cities in United States is not so liberal when it comes to housing.Why? Because it affects their bottom line.

Did you know that it is illegal to build apartments in over 73% of San Francisco neighborhoods?[0]

That's why I don't support this ideal of tax proposition to cater for homeless as it is being introduced. The proponents are just chasing shadow while leaving the substance. Instead I suggest proposition to dismantle zoning as the first step in the right direction.

"because the sum stolen – £40,000 – is deemed not large enough to bother the authorities"

You just apply broken window theory to everyone of them.Punish swiftly to discourage bad behavior.

Students who sell their accounts for cash;charge them with conspiracy to commit fraud and money-laundering.

Some of the criminal activities described in the article are kind of chutzpah

"Microsoft isn't the same company as ten and twenty years ago."I notice this as well. But I am trying to figure out how Microsoft will manage GitHub. Is GitHub going to be a standalone company within Microsoft or a significant part of its enterprise division? What folks here are not talking about is how Microsoft handles LinkedIn after acquisition.

Frankly,the trickle-down economics is not working.Plain and simple. Giving the rich lower tax and expecting them to invest the money back to the economy has been proved not to be working.

And we know now that the ultra-rich folks tend to take the money,windfall from lower tax, and hide it in Virgin-Island, Panama,Cayman Island and other offshore tax havens.

Big Pharma companies are the problem of US health care crisis. They have figured out ways to manipulate the doctors and the patients for gains.

If you are a drug addict,there is a pill for that.

If there are side-effects to the pill you are taking to get you off addiction,there is a pill for that.

And if you take too much pills,there is a pill for that one too.

I just like this article,probably one of my favorites.It was true 13 years ago and it is still true now.

How about if the two names of sitting judges are added to the list,one appellate judge and one supreme court judge. I am confident the software will be fixed.

I generally don't respond to low-road conduct like this on HN. But the arrant balderdash needs to stop. Please stop calling Brendan Eich "homophobic" just because he donated money to the cause he believes in.

Nobody calls Paul Graham names just because he was in support of the end of death penalty in California[1]

I am thinking,this is going to get really really ugly as Levandowski wont go down without a fight.

This is probably one of the best articles i have read on Hacker News.Just straightforward.Keep it up.

Bold,direct and straightforward.Latimes keeps it up.

Yes.Infact, if you conceal the information about the crime and the crime happens to be felony, you will be charged for "misprision of felony."

The federal definition of misprision requires that, “(1) the principal committed and completed the felony alleged; (2) the defendant had knowledge of the fact; (3) the defendant failed to notify the authorities; and (4) the defendant took affirmative steps to conceal the crime of the principal.” See United States v. Baumgartner (6th Cir. Sept. 24, 2014)

Yep.I now believe Google is serious about cloud.It is beyond me why it takes Google too long to do this.

Iraq, where US contributed to the establishment of the present regime and where some remaining American soldiers are still there, does not share information with you? Seriously.

If sharing information with you as you said here is the most important yardstick,rather than subtle religion test,why is North Korea is not on the list?

A standing ovation for Ycombinator.May the grace and bless of God be with you all.Keep up the good work.

MD5 in 2016?.I hope yahoo can save itself and tech community all this embarrassment by just going out of business one and for all.Folks at the helm of affairs at yahoo are incompetent. And it is about time government started to persecute incompetent CEO.

I am not sure many of the issues Dr. Anna Patterson raised here are applicable now.Web is way different now compare to 2016.

Well, here is this about Bill Gates coding 18hrs a day in his first job. http://www.theatlantic.com/notes/2015/10/bill-gates-first-re...

It may interest you to study this a bit to understand MVCC (Multiversion Concurrency Control).

Let me tell you one open secret on HN. If you see high upvote article on the front page and it stays there for a somewhat longer time ,chances are it is of great quality stuff.Most folks here can relatively separate the wheat from the chaff.

One of the main points of VACUUM is to protect you against XID-wraparound or multixact ID wraparound.So,your idea of auto-launch of a Vacuum Freeze is good but i still believe it is important to be aware that you may lose your very old data if you dont do anything about it.

God bless you for this.I really appreciate it when folks give feedback to the way some companies treat prospective employees.It saves developers tons of headaches.Thanks

I like and enjoy the book.I have been searching for this link for a while as it was posted on HN sometimes ago and i forgot to bookmark it.Thank God that someone re-posted it today. And keep up the good work.

He was one of my favorite folks in the world.A very good man.I often read his words for inspiration.He will be missed.

"A man who views the world the same at 50 as he did at 20 has wasted thirty years of his life."

"Champions aren't made in the gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them: a desire, a dream, a vision. They have to have last-minute stamina, they have to be a little faster, they have to have the skill and the will. But the will must be stronger than the skill."

"He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life."

"It's lack of faith that makes people afraid of meeting challenges, and I believed in myself."

"If the hiring/interview process is needlessly complicated, run."
