" Base64url encode the octets of the UTF-8 representation of the JWS Protected Header to create the Encoded JWS Header. If the JWS Protected Header is not present (which can only happen when using the JWS JSON Serialization and no protected member is present), let the Encoded JWS Header be the empty string. Compute the JWS Signature in the manner defined for the particular algorithm being used over the JWS Signing Input (the concatenation of the Encoded JWS Header, a period ('.') character, and the Encoded JWS Payload). The alg (algorithm) header parameter MUST be present in the JWS Header, with the algorithm value accurately representing the algorithm used to construct the JWS Signature. Base64url encode the representation of the JWS Signature to create the Encoded JWS Signature. The three encoded parts are result values used in both the JWS Compact Serialization and the JWS JSON Serialization representations. If the JWS JSON Serialization is being used, repeat this process for each digital signature or MAC value being applied. Create the desired serialized output. The JWS Compact Serialization of this result is the concatenation of the Encoded JWS Header, the Encoded JWS Payload, and the Encoded JWS Signature in that order, with the three strings being separated by two period ('.') characters. The JWS JSON Serialization is described in Section 7.2. TOC 5.2. Message Signature or MAC Validation When validating a JWS, the following steps MUST be taken. The order of the steps is not significant in cases where there are no dependencies between the inputs and outputs of the steps. If any of the listed steps fails, then the signature or MAC cannot be validated. It is an application decision which signatures, MACs, or plaintext values must successfully validate for the JWS to be accepted. In some cases, all must successfully validate or the JWS will be rejected. In other cases, only a specific signature, MAC, or plaintext value needs to be s

"Netflix has a really cool app that uses the same code base for running the UI on all devices: tablets, phones, smart TVs, DVD players, refrigerators, and cars. While most people have no idea, nor care, how the app is implemented, you'll be interested to know they can change the interface on the fly or conduct A/B testing to determine the optimal user interactions. The guts of decoding and streaming videos are delegated to the native layer for best performance, so it's a fast, seemingly native app, that really does provide the best of both worlds."

"new computer school in Paris has been overwhelmed by some 60,000 applicants. The school, called 42, was founded by a telecom magnate who says the French education system is failing young people. His aim is to reduce France's shortage in computer programmers while giving those who've fallen by the wayside a new chance. In the hallways of 42, suitcases and sleeping bags are piled, and people are stretched out on mattresses in some of the corners. There are showers and dozens of colorful bath towels. Living here for the next month are some of the 4,000 potential students who already made the first cut by passing cognitive skill tests online. Now they have to clear another hurdle. They're thrown together and challenged with computer problems for 15 hours a day. Only 800 students will get a place, says 42′s director, Nicolas Sadirac."

"As with Wolfram|Alpha on the web, the Wolfram Language (and Mathematica) on the Raspberry Pi are going to be free for anyone to use for personal purposes."

The tools created are based on the tools that our research scienctists use, and include a lightbox for comparing media; drawing, measuring and annotation tools,; a personalized fieldbook; and a context tool for using multimedia, including 3D objects, to solve problems, and investigate issues. Rebecca has directed the development of this software, including UX oversight, design direction, vendor management, QA testing, data management, IT systems integration, privacy and security coordination, and collaboration with our education and science teams. The software is fully designed, and is in Alpha state, on track for beta release by August 2013.

"This is the source code for the alpha release of the End-To-End Chrome extension. It's built upon a newly developed, JavaScript-based crypto library. End-To-End implements the OpenPGP standard, IETF RFC 4880, enabling key generation, encryption, decryption, digital signature, and signature verification. We're releasing this code to enable community review; it is not yet ready for general use."

Apart from money, considers contracts. By the way Buterin - an evil mind behind the platform might be interesting to get hold of. He is Russian, spent most of his life in Canada though.

"t will allow the team to develop and then promote a digital resource that will meet this gap. The new resource will feature a tool to assess how organisations plan, manage, measure and review their impact, and a marketplace that aggregates all available measurement tools so charities can easily browse and search existing options to measure the value for their work."

"Open Steps is an initiative from two young berliners Alex Corbi (spanish, software developer) and Margo Thierry (french, european politics) who decided to leave their daily lives in July 2013 and travel around the world for one year. The purpose of this journey was to meet people and organisations actively working in Open Knowledge related projects while divulging the principles behind this topic."

I like this: "Mark Suster, Venture Capitalist, Angel investor & former entrepreneur. Votes by Eren Bali (CEO & Co-founder, Udemy), David King (Founder & CEO, Green Patch and Blippy), Tao Tao (Co-founder, GetYourGuide), Jessica Mah (Founder/CEO inDinero.com), Michael Wolfe (Founder & Entrepreneur -- Vontu, Kana, I/PRO, P...), (more) It obviously depends on stage.  I like to invest at the seed or A round.  My ideal team is simple: Assuming 6 people 1. 5 engineers 2. 1 CEO who doubles as head of product management 3. Nothing else But obviously I am open to other configurations.  The key important things are: - strong tech DNA - dominance of tech personnel relative to others - strong product focus on CEO I never invest in: - business people who outsource tech dev to 3rd parties ("to speed up time to market")"
