You have not given us one shred of evidence to back up your claims. Just because you include the words "Snowden","NSA backdoor", and "Dual EC" in a paragraph doesn't make any of your conclusions magically true. You have no papers,public comments, or code contributions to prove your point. Just a lot of assumptions.
This is not about giving up your dreams, it's about figuring out what your wife needs to be happy being married to you. Her being mad about you being in her space could by a symptom that she feels she is not getting enough of your undivided attention (as others have pointed out). If she is unhappy with your start-up try taking about your plans with her more and see how she reacts. Getting your marriage back on good footing is a bit like A/B testing in that you need to keep trying different things to see what works. A good marriage therapist can help speed up the process.
The hospital admission/re-admission policy (or lack thereof) is exactly the type of thinking that this article is addressing. ER/Urgent Care doctors have a list of criteria for hospital admissions that are not always present at the time but may comeback later. If they are use more caution then required a hundred dollar medical bill may turn into a several thousand dollar hospital stay over a minor issue. Doctors are dealing with imperfect information when making a diagnosis so to say that they need an "algorithm" is trivializing a complex problem. There is room for a lot of improvement in terms of helping medical staff make better decisions with more complete information. I am uneasy that some of the new regulations in this area will end up handcuffing doctors in ways that will not always be in the best interests of the patients
Note: not medical staff. Many years ago I processed claims for an insurance company and had some long and heated discussions about this topic with hospital staff. If some of these new regs are like what my oversized insurance company had, it will not end well.
As a c# dev I started to learn F# on a whim. Now I find myself being sucked down the F# rabbit hole. The pattern matching was mind blowing. To any fellow c# or VB devs learning F# is worth the time invested.
I want this to succeed. I want to engineering team(s) to crush all the issues that people have raised here and elsewhere. That being said most cutting edge engineering projects like this don't make money for a very long time and I wouldn't invest any money I want to see a return on.
Lot of nostalgia and time lost. My wife and I played together before we had kids so we could stay up to 2-3 AM on weekends and 40 man raid Molten Core or Blackwing Lair. We were lucky to find some married people who played and/or some more mature players. We stopped after we had kids (time crunch LOL) but we still keep in touch with some of our guild mates.
Don't confuse rock star developers with people being assholes. If your arrogant attitude turned off your coworkers, then when you stop being arrogant the situation should improve. If your coworkers are assholes it will not.
There are people out there who will thrive in situations like this. I am not one of them. I have spent time in jobs with assholes like this and the time and money was never worth it.
True.
However,CS Lewis once said that if you want to be a good writer you have to be interested in more than just writing. I think the same hold true for development and or hacking. If you want to be a good developer than you should have more interests than just programming. Posts like these are a reflection of that.
True. As someone who just started aikido last year there are some moves that I would not attempt in a dangerous situation do to lack of mastery. However I have done ikkyo so many times from various starts that it could be used very effectively in a tense situation. Hopefully I never have to find out :)
As much as you feel a responsibility to the public on this you have a massive conflict of interest in this area. Sure, be nice and send your competitor an email. After that stay out of it and move on. There have been plenty of hackers who felt they were doing the right thing by informing companies of security issues they found only to have the same companies turn around and attempt to press charges on them.
yes the debate between 5.56mm and 7.62mm crowds is hot enough to rival a .Net/Java debate LOL. Still I am glad to see it. How many soldiers lost their lives because of faulty M-16's in Vietnam? How many lives were lost because of faulty equipment in WW2? I have two friends who are active duty military and if they come under fire I want to make sure that their equipment does what it needs to do when they need it. So a little spot light on these issues doesn't hurt.
I worked frontline customer support for a small software company that sold to county governments. The sales process was just as bad as described in this article. Most of the goverment workers and elected officials were very pleasant to work with. I had a few who were royal pains to deal but most of the people I dealt with on a regular basis were by far easier than my support at a insurance company.
I will take his tame/boring "starups" any day over a large percentage of the startups I see on TechCrunch and Pando (which I am starting to see many that have tame/boring ideas at scale anyway). His business is profitable, he doesn't need to worry about the problems that come along with accepting VC money, and can sleep in during rush hour (sold me right there LOL). Many startups are high risk with a high reward long shot with just as high failure rate. So I will take lame but profitable ideas to the bank anytime.
Maybe restating the obvious, but why don't they pay out the 300k to some professional pen testers or cryptography auditors and publish the results. At least then they would have a shot at validity in this area.
Has anyone given any thought to what the Police will use for riot control if tear gas is banned? I have been on the receiving end of Tear Gas. It was not a pleasant experience . However after about an hour I was back on my feet and good to go. As much as I didn't care for the tear gas, it would still cause less damage to a protester to get gassed than getting hit by a rubber bullet or a police baton.
yes this would be interesting. We have application severs with multiple windows apps running on them with different versions of the .Net framework. I had to pull teeth with our SysAdmin to get the .Net upgraded on the server. It would be nice to have a container for each so I (as a dev) could run the each app with it's own needed dependencies instead of having to install them on the server.
In what way is it less powerful? I use both in my day job. Sometimes I think C# has more elegant syntax (personal opinion) but I have not been able to not do anything I need to do in VB.
I agree in that if the law mandates you have to allow certain parts of your property for public use then it should also protect you from liability if a member of the public gets injured on that part of the property.
That being said, I think this decision was the right one. Public access to the beach trumps someone's concern about liability.

I am interested in part time short term or long term project work. I am pretty much a .Net generalist but wouldn't mind working with python either.
I agree that yes there is a great deal of demand for crypto on the client side and I don't think privacy on the Internet is going to move forward without a reliable way of doing cryto in that sphere.
However I agree with the poster that client side JavaScript is not the answer to that demand. At this time it's a leaky boat and can be exploited.
My wife and I met when I was 15 and she was 16. After dating other people and a few years later we ended up getting married at 21 and 22. After 13 years, two kids, and watching many hours of "Star Trek" and "Pride and Prejudice" together we are still happily married with hopefully many more years to come.
