I thought the entire point of having that secret prison in Cuba is that US laws don't apply.

Maybe they could circumvent the law by signing a contact where google pays the news organisations, but they in term pay google back for the "exposure". That way both parties would comply with the law and they would still maintain the status quo.
In Germany all public universities (which are the good ones) are free. In Holland it is not free, but Dutch citizens a sort scholarship by default. Which is arguably even better.
That makes sense.
If I click from a normal tab I don't see a captcha, but I click from a privacy tab I do.
The bill, H.B. 161, directs municipalities like Bluffdale to “refuse support to any federal agency which collects electronic data within this state.”
What about the IRS? Doesn't actually every government agency collect data?
Most data scientist these days use scikit-learn or R. Weka is really out of fashion. Mahout and mllib are difficult to use and perform less. Often it's better to just down-sample or rent an EC2 instance with a lot of memory.
I can't find my own H1B in the database. I don't think the data is complete.
EDIT: I found another page that actually did have my own H1B: http://h1b.myftp.org/ . However, I believe it did show one H1B in my company as approved which is actually denied.
I seems like organisations that where early adopters of the internet got one.
My first thought was: I can't image how anyone could work for a place like that. That HR person should have been fired on the spot.
My tolerance for bullshit this is quite low and luckily I work for a start-up where I have to take very little of it. When stories like this come up, I keep shaking my head.
I am glad you found it helpful. Good luck.
Most of the advise here seems to be along the lines of: "I was rejected from Google too, don't take it too personal". This post got a lot of upvotes, because this is an experience many people can relate to.
I read your previous post at: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8185085 and based on that I wanted to give you hopefully a little bit more personal advise. That said, I don't know much about you and personal situation, so I might be completely wrong.
Based on what you wrote, it seems like you had a setback in your life. After that you fixated all your efforts on your job interviews at Google and Amazon. When that failed, you fell into a hole.
I think, you need to find a different focus. I can't really tell you what it is, because I don't know enough about you.
What can help is to exercise and meditate every day. There is no such thing as bad mediation. Maybe talk with a psychologist, counselor or monk (I understand that you are in Thailand). It might help to view it in term of Buddhism: attachment, craving and letting go.
A simple example: if the order of the keys is different, say because of a different json implementation, semantically the document is identical, but you can't apply the patch anymore.
Seems a little bit weird that untapped is charging you $50 for downloading your own data.
It would be nice if you could also get this report for an account that you don't own yourself.
How not? http://whisper.sh/privacy , dated 13 October, has the "other countries" clause, and says "Any changes become effective when we post them on the Site."
I don't know, I got my information from this Guardian article:
"These new terms, which were posted on Whisper’s website on 13 October, come into effect on 12 November."

Maybe the website and app have different ToS?
Why not fuzz it on the device, before sending to the server?
Now that is a legitimate question. Although, fuzzing it on the server is better than not fuzzing it at all.
Why not just amend your Privacy Policy to state that data is only stored in the United States?
Actually Whisper did the opposite, amend their privacy policy so that data can be stored outside of the US, but their new ToS are not active yet.
I think, what he is saying is basically just: "We have content moderators in the Philippines. The Guardian is acting like we keep that secret, but here are 5 media articles where we talked about that ourselves. It is also not against our ToS. The provision that the Guardian is referencing is about servers.".
I must say, that it really looks like the Guardian article was somewhat sensationalist. Yes whisper is "tracking" it's users by sending location data to the server, but that is obvious since that is an integral part of the app.
Does anyone here use a standing desk? He have one at our office, but after 30 minutes I get too lazy and want to sit down.
