dang,

The story is about building this product. About putting in the time(thousands of precious hours) and focus to build the extensive amount of software running Wakatime. He has listened to his users and built the integrations. There is no disputing that. This story deserves attention and is true. Let whoever else make claims about their alleged ownership on their own time. it wouldn’t change the story.

Alan is the least fishy guy I know amd I don’t doubt his word for a second.

The perfect recipient would still have to be sent backdoors from many creators. Many more people would be handling the secret, each one a target to be social engineered into handing it over. I imagine when a more typical backdoor is made, very few people even know it exists let alone know the key to open it. Mandate backdoors and everyone knows they exist so more people will work to find and crack them. They would be very high value targets. Once opened, a backdoor would take a lot of work and expense to be closed, if you even know it had been opened.

Do the channels yourself with NATS. http://bit.ly/1ZzpJAw

criminal for covering this up.

I want to be able to send someone a link to a specific button.

"if I had kids, I wouldn't tell jokes" is clearly taken out of context, so to your 'Seriously?' comment: Seriously? nice way to read it to support your own bias.

Hank's life wasn't ruined. Adria's life has been most damaged, no employment for a long time, death threats, and this article will probably cause her a lot more grief. How many people in this thread have taken it upon themselves to send more abuse her way?

Why is this article even on hacker news? To support the down-trodden software developers?

I remember reading that the code was mostly open source tools that he had done some modifications to such as fixing bugs and just wanted them for reference. He hadn't accessed the files since leaving Goldman.

It's open source, we could do some Python 2 to 3 sprints on https://github.com/google/google-api-python-client.

ProcessPoolExecuter from the futures package essentially does this, it runs multiple instances of the interpreter and then distributes instructions to them.

It's one thing to not read the whole TOS for services you consume and pay for, but ignoring it when using it commercially? Don't blame them and call them shady. They have to pay their employees and server costs to provide you the service.

Libertarians don't expect other to abide by it. Enforcing non-initiatory use of force and fraud is one of the legitimate purposes of the government.

Wow! That's one of the two basic things. "reject the use of force or fraud to compel others except in response to force or fraud."

I found it was much easier to cut my daily calorie intake and increase fat burning by skipping an early breakfast and regular lunch and moving to coffee for hunger suppressant, a low-carb brunch and some other low-carb afternoon snacks instead. Before dinner, I do about 20 mins of mostly body-weight exercise. Then have a regular dinner including carbs and then some more high-glycemic carbs. Keeping low-carb for a long continuous part of the day lets your body burn a lot of fat for fuel, and it's easier to deny myself those things I like to eat if I know I can have them later in the day, and it's a very nice carrot to do regular exercise. I've also had the impetus to discover low-carb recipes I enjoy, making it a nice feedback loop. To help this process I began by going two weeks without carbs, as that was recommended to help get your body used to burning fat for fuel. I've enjoyed a much improved body composition and it's still getting better.

massage therapy and better posture.

I bought a used Macbook Pro for ~$300 worth of bitcoins a couple of years ago. those bitcoins are worth ~$20K. My argument for why he should accept the deal was, "they will probably go up in value". I'm happy I did it.

Are you expecting full-time work for a bed in a house with roommates and a work-space?

This is utter baloney. For you who think systematic oppression of groups of people isn't a real thing, think again. Take, for instance, the poor literacy rate in the middle east. averaging 17%, now, are we to say "People of Arab decent obviously have a biological disadvantage when it comes to reading and writing, statistically it's clear!" um... no. How about Africans? Do we say "They had a biological tendency to become slaves and not slave owners, because, like 95% of slaves are from Africa, it's obvious"?

You can keep going back in history. How about those lowborn people during the dark ages? they must have been real dunces.

The advancement of people has been a long slow march that builds achievement upon achievement, with each achievement advancement can accelerate, but set-backs can and do happen.

Don't fool yourself into thinking you'd have anywhere near the mental ability you do today if it wasn't for all the work people did before you and the society you were raised in and given encouragement, opportunities and protections to pursue your goals. There are millions of techniques you use and benefit from that other people worked out before you. If you didn't have them, you'd be groveling in the dirt or likely gravely suffering or dead.

Women, it hasn't even been a hundred years since they've had the right to vote in the U.S. Religious and cultural attitudes have kept them oppressed and discouraged. Christian men(among others) have been encouraged to keep their wives in line with physical abuse and the women pressured to accept it.

As a society, we've figured out ways to encourage and protect things to let them advance and grow, things that wouldn't have gotten there without it and we know it. Let's call it systematic freedom. People have fought and died and worked their asses off for it. We do this. Let us(Society(men, women and institutions)) do this for women. protect, defend, encourage. We are all humans.

> The judge is correct in stating that if Levison doesn't trust the government, then why should the government trust Levison

The judge is incorrect. The U.S. Government was designed to not completely trust itself. That's why there are checks and balances. Giving the FBI the private key lets them have unchecked access to data encrypted with it. It is wrong to asked to not be checked.

All calories are not translated to weight equally, the efficiency your body uses them matters greatly.

Sure dieting couch-potatoes will lose weight, but it will include losing a lot of muscle.

I believe the most well researched book on fat control is Carb-Back Loading by John Kiefer, the references chapter is 50 pages, it's terribly fascinating.

I like how the plastic panels overlap to prevent leaking as framed geodesic domes often have leaking problems.

The http://threeriversvillageschool.org/ is based upon these principles. A Free(not as in beer) school that is now in it's first few days of classes that got help starting with successful crowdfunding campaign and a lot of hard work by dedicated smart people.

It speaks of it in the final paragraph, referring to it as popular mythology.

when you inch along in traffic, you can be 15 mins to your destination for a long time.

The AIs in Vernor Vinge's A Fire Upon the Deep can be pretty nasty.

yet, they still want to be paid for that time they don't care about.

The guy doing the "print all" job spent months looking for a new "print" related job, worked a McD's for a while and eventually went back to school to be retrained and is now employed as filterer for 'inappropriate' images on a social network. So, don't feel too bad.

I just saw this http://chezjj.com/

The physical laws of the universe iterated for a long time to produce a way to know itself: the individual conscious being. The individual conscious being is the only part of the universe capable of exerting control over itself, and thus the singly most powerful object in the universe is you, except for the competition and collaboration of your fellow conscious beings. Your local basis for value is what is good for you vs bad for you. Abstract this to the basis for value to all individual conscious beings and you can see why preventing others from doing what is best for them by using force is bad. Not only would it trigger others to try to protect themselves by harming you, but it would also remove the benefits of collaboration.

I would like to see it at $1337
