Ah, alright. Thanks for the response.

Can you tell me what company you work for, and if you hire freshers? I graduate next year and the only companies I've seriously considered applying for so far are located abroad.

I just added my email address to my profile.

EMD domains have lost most of their charm. Google's been giving them less and less preferential treatment over the past year. With a recent update some of my EMD sites took a big hit just for the EMD keyword - went from #1-#3 to second page.

That's exactly the thing Paul Graham mentioned in an interview: http://www.inc.com/magazine/201309/issie-lapowsky/how-paul-g...

They don't realize how independent they can be. When you're a child, your parents tell you what you're supposed to do. Then, you're in school, and you're part of this institution that tells you what to do. Then, you go work for some company, and the company tells you what to do. So people come in like baby birds in the nest and open their mouths, as if they're expecting us to drop food in. We have to tell them, "We're not your bosses. You're in charge now." Some of them are freaked out by that. Some people are meant to be employees. Other people discover they have wings and start flapping them. There's nothing like being thrown off a cliff to make you discover that you have wings.

I've been talking about entrepreneurship with some people, and realized how true the "Some people are meant to be employees" part is. Most people are so afraid of failing they aren't even willing to try for fear they might not be able to do something.

>"To make use of these keys, the FBI would have to manually input all 2,560 characters, and one incorrect keystroke in this laborious process would render the FBI collection system incapable of collecting decrypted data," prosecutors complained.

That's pretty misleading - they make it sound like if they press the wrong key once it'll destroy the FBI's entire system.

Right. Because "Lawyer" is synonymous to "Liar" and the justice system totally isn't based on provable facts, but how well you can lie.

Just post a few samples of your work. Maybe build a simple application and link to it, link to your blog, link to github.

Just something that proves you know what you're doing.

I haven't hired developers, but I've worked with several writers. Quite a lot of the ones I've worked with didn't have previous work experience but they had sample articles uploaded for me to judge their skill and style.

Yes, he impregnated every woman who wasn't already pregnant.

Unrelated to the product: Is it possible to throw the tracking off by blocking some cellular towers and only connect to one? Then they have a radius you are in, but not the exact location.

But if you take your phone out of the packet, your location will be "broadcasted" to the network. That is, everytime you want to make or receive a call, or do anything with your phone, the network will know your location.

Flight mode would provide the same level of protection as this and at a much cheaper price.

You'll need to jump through some hoops for that. Here in India, the bank's credit card department head didn't even know about chargebacks, and didn't believe me even after I showed him the Visa Regulations on Visa's website. I had to call customer care over 10 times and talk to the supervisors nearly every time before I found a person who was able to send me the chargeback form. Hell, the bank's local branch didn't believe me even after seeing the chargeback form.

After I got the chargeback form though, dealing with the Chargeback Department was a breeze.

This deserves to be a separate post, not a comment

They're going to refund the people who paid a higher price than $695 - isn't that going to lower the funding amount even if it hits the target?

I don't. It explains why he wanted to fire Ian out of the blue.

Your story is good enough that it will be read even without a linkbait title. Maybe you could add a short teaser at the beginning of the article? The current one doesn't do it justice.

I have a light next to my webcam that turns on when it's active. Is it possible the webcam can be activated without that light turning on?

Thank you for posting that link. I don't know how I missed that even though "WRAL television" was mentioned in reason.com story. I did perform a quick google search to find the original article but the top few looked like copied off reason.com so I pegged it to be the best one available.
