Shamiq··on Lumosity: a warning to users (2009)
Facebook has done a talk about this -- drop me an email.
Shamiq··on The making of Medium.com
Thanks, that works.
Shamiq··on The making of Medium.com
I'm having troubles getting the twitter blurb to load. Any recommendations? http://i.imgur.com/h3IshHe.png
Shamiq··on Why you should take your 20's seriously
Where are you based? I picked up climbing in May 2012, and can offer you some advice based on what I've been through. Email's in my profile to continue the chat if you want.
Shamiq··on So You Want to Be a Security Expert
Awesome list for self-study! If you work in a sufficiently large organization, or are well-connected enough to sit and chat with the breakers, get them into a room, and drill them about their processes, their information sources, and their mindset.

Beyond the deep, technical knowledge you'll gain following daeken's recipe, there's a whole set of security thought and security models you'll need to learn. It's hard to figure out and differentiate between threats unless you can think like an attacker, then work a system like an attacker does.

Shamiq··on Google Maps Floor Plans
Taking bets on the odds of this being disallowed for places where it would be actually useful (for example: airports; municipal buildings; skyscrapers).
Shamiq··on Ask HN: Who's looking for employment?
Hey, I know you!
Shamiq··on What tool would *you* use to solve this?
Excel.
Shamiq··on Moot's Canvas now public.
No idea...I'm in no position to psycho-analyze whomever downvoted D:
Shamiq··on Moot's Canvas now public.
They probably think you're kidding.
Shamiq··on Google App Engine leaves preview, new pricing
At what point will you consider moving to a different provider?
Shamiq··on Asteroid To Buzz Earth Monday, June 27th
Cool, a birthday gift from Space. :)
Shamiq··on Good puzzle: 12 balls, 1 a diff weight, find in 3 uses of pan balance
Method two? Two methods? I'm so lost.
Shamiq··on Downgrading Skype and Silver Lake to ‘Evil’
RTFA first?
Shamiq··on The best of $user on HN, with eBook export
This is a disconcerting self-community interaction analysis tool. I don't like my top comments at all.
Shamiq··on An academic study of anonymity and ephemerality in 4chan /b/ [pdf]
I'm having some difficulty in deciphering how this study defines success regarding 4chan. From what I recall (google-fu failing me), 4chan is expensive to run and Chris is having a hard time generating revenue off the beast.

Perhaps success here is defined as success was defined previously -- lots of users, great potential for monetization, just need to figure out a successful business strategy.

Shamiq··on Javascript Bitcoin Miner
As they point out -- you would need a visitor to remain on any given page for a relatively long period of time. Works well for long-form content, but breaks down in shorter chunks.

One thing I'm particularly interested in would be embedding this in a frame similar to stumbleupons web interface and allowing for revenue sharing with the user.

Shamiq··on Guy Asks For Software Crack, Creator Provides Free App Instead
When creating an Alert, there is an option to choose feed as the "deliver to" destination.

Shamiq··on Getting Users For Your New Startup
Definitely leaving that last piece up to our collective imaginations...
Shamiq··on Sony gives more PSN attack details, details "Welcome Back" packages
Ooo...a job opening. And CiSO will have a bit of sway for a few more weeks at least. It's surprising how fast someone can de-prioritize security when they see how much it costs.
Shamiq··on Midnight Hacking: How to form a doers group.
Anything in Seattle/Eastside?
Shamiq··on Gift to M.I.T. from Bose Founder Raises Tax Questions
Not the gift, but the way the gift is structured. MIT can't sell it another entity, and even if they could, non-voting shares mean they can't be used to strongarm Bose.

In otherwords, protecting Bose from MIT.

Shamiq··on A Rough Guide to Social Skills for Awkward Smart People
A bit more semantic on "first time": It contiunes to work until the recipient actually begins to pay attention to who you are and what you're doing. At which point, the approach may need tweaking to retain efficacy.
Shamiq··on MacBook Air is enough for a work machine
May I ask what you do with the old machines?
Shamiq··on DRM authentication servers stop Dragon Age: Origins from working
I bought the mac version from Gametreemac -- when I have periods of dropped connections, my game doesn't give me a warning, it completely dies. This has forced me to save nearly every minute or so. Terrible UX :(

Almost makes me wish I torrented a copy.

Shamiq··on The Programmer Salary Taboo
Ouch...

edit maybe if you implemented to spec...

Shamiq··on A Cultural Thing: Why More Minority Women Aren’t In Tech
Funny, most of the few women I see in Tech ARE minority women...
