People care enough to write dozens of blog posts about it and share them on HN and tweet and digg about them.
Sadly, no. " Also, he decided to burn his bridges in the Ruby community, where I guarantee you he could have gotten plenty of jobs without an interview before." I think Zed made it pretty clear in the discussion around the "Rails is a ghetto" article that he did not, in fact, get any jobs period. My understanding is that the article was the outcome of his frustration at not reaping any rewards, particularly financial ones, for contributing a pretty important piece of technology to the rails stack.
She's more than a mere Software Engineer, she's a scientist. AB in Archeology/Anthropology from Harvard, then a PhD in Statistics from Stanford.

Very interesting background to bring to this field. Call it real-time statistical anthropology.

Other comments show I'm more partial to social democracy, but you're right, nuclear regulation is turning me into a liberal.
Can you explain the privacy argument to me?
Bitcoin is a massive public ledger, I have a local copy of literally every transaction ever made. How is that better for privacy?
The blockchain is public. Anybody who cares could see that you made a payment.

Transferring money across geographies is one of the prime use-cases for crypto these days.
I do the same for a collaborative music app. User gets the state of a session on load as a JSON object then just received the diffs. It's pretty efficient.
I'm surprised to see this k8s consensus on HN. Kuberentes has a very steep learning curve. I spent a week over Xmas 2019 just bringing up and tearing down clusters until I got something that was functional. The documentation is not particularly friendly so there was a lot of trial and error. But eventually it clicked. Then a couple months later we decided to invest by slowly moving non production services over, and then ultimately moving everything over.

We have not had any major k8s incidents in the past 12+ months of running our own HA cluster. We even run HA Postgres using local volumes. We've pretty much moved everything over and couldn't be happier.

We have red teamed disaster scenarios, we can bring the full cluster up on another cloud provider using vanilla k8s in about an hour (including a restore from Postgres S3 backups + wals). And this is all with a very small team.

A healthcare provider using a browser that's too old to have SVG support is a patient data leak waiting to happen.
My problem with Twitter is that a lot of researchers I follow make a lot of noise (e.g.: giving their opinions on things 10 times a day, tweeting random "facts" about life, etc...) but once in a while they tweet very informative stuff.

I feel kind of trapped following them :/

I tried using the "this tweet is not relevant" thingie but it doesn't do anything. I mean, this is a thing for which I would gladly have an AI-powered smart filter.
But what are the long-term effects of all this zapping?
> We're already at a point where machines do most of the work.

We're at a point where machines are very clearly doing far less than a quarter of the work. I think it's more likely under 10%.

If you were right, right now we'd have true mass unemployment as we're nowhere near prepared for that level of automation in the global economy. The next tier of jobs are not here yet to absorb the labor. Scan from country to country, you'll find global unemployment has never been lower.

Further, if we were at that level of machine labor share, we would have likely seen a large increase in productivity or profitability in manufacturing. Manufacturers are not replacing humans en masse unless it makes a lot of business sense (in output, cost, or a combination; and we're not seeing anything even remotely close to those types of seismic-shift figures showing up in manufacturing numbers anywhere).

The vast majority of all manufacturing in China is still done by hand, with minimal machine contribution. They've barely begun to scratch the surface of machines taking over their manufacturing (and naturally they're freaking out about the future unemployment prospects of that, just as people in the US and elsewhere are). And Chinese manufacturing is further down the machine-adoption curve than other countries like Mexico or Vietnam.

We have hardly even automated a consequential share of the labor in your typical fast food chain. Globally we're just getting around to electronic ordering kiosks as the norm.
As much as I agree with you, people said the same thing about Tesla. In other words it may be an uphill battle, but every conglomerate was once a startup.

What exactly is an extra semester? :P

Graduated is graduated. 2015 is sufficient information on a resume. If anyone asks (e.g. 2011-2016), you started later (2012) because took a semester off between high school and college to [volunteer/save money/something that says you are a great person] (select appropriate).

Nobody cares though.
Github gists would be decent for that.
I believe this is part of "vPro" in intel marketing speak. Yes, many consumer CPUs have it. Intel provides pretty good feature lists by CPU if you want to avoid it:

>It's in the transmitter's self-interest to maximise channel capacity by focusing as much power as possible on the receiver of interest and not wasting power by spraying it around in an omni-directional manner. This self-interest will avoid a "tragedy of the commons", provided the rules say that everyone has the same maximum power, forcing people to use their radiated power wisely.

That breaks down when you factor in that beamforming devices are expensive, so not all devices will opt to use it. The devices that don't use them will still blaring at full power, causing interference to others.
I can't speak to the effectiveness of weaponizing them (or rather, don't want to), but misinformation is most definitely the Achilles Heel of democracy. For the people to govern themselves effectively, they must be accurately informed. When they aren't accurately informed we have the "fake news" plague that is damaging US and most western democracies.
Even if you can afford to pay it in full, if you have a cheap loan available where the interest payment is less than the after-tax interest you would otherwise accrue on it (as an investment of some sort) then overall you might come ahead on the deal by taking the loan. This may be true even if you don’t invest it per se but use it to pay off debt at a higher interest rate. Since a car loan is secured against the car itself often it will have a lower interest rate than credit cards for example.

You may be reading too much into what I wrote. My standard here is simply that I think if a website is literally organizing something which explicitly, literally, supports violent overthrow of the government, then I'm going to yield to the legal system to enforce whatever laws exist to properly regulate that speech. I don't have a strong opinion beyond that since I am not a lawyer. My point is that if the mechanism to enforce those laws includes SSL or CDN interference, I won't include such interference on the list of things I'd be concerned about in my bucket of "corporate interests mediating acceptable global speech."
We understand them well enough. No need to hear why people's civil rights need to be brushed aside to make room for a white supremacy.
It's actually a serious and legitimate question. Freedom from speech also means freedom from compelled speech. A government can't pass a law to make a Mom and Pop shop sell a certain magazine. And corporations enjoy the same freedoms: I'm very confident that the government could not pass a law forcing Twitter to overturn bans. And ISPs possibly have the same freedom from compelled speech.

I'm no lawyer, but I think the distinction is in utilities. The postal service, for instance, can't just refuse service to people they don't like. Same with power companies. I'm not sure how phone providers and ISPs fit into this. But I think it may be useful to have ISPs, payment providers, and maybe also DNS and DDOS protection providers be considered utilities. My basic measuring stick is that putting HMTL and CSS out on the internet should be protected akin to the ability to send letters through the mail.
There may be more white people killed by police (in sheer volume) but that’s not the same as white people being more likely to die by police.
It does follow if you think that most people that voted for Trump didn't actually think that Trump means most of the things he says. Which matches up with what Trump supporters say in interviews regarding Trump's stance on topics that even many of his supporters don't agree with. They will generally say something like "yeah, I don't agree with what Trump says about X and Y but I vote for him because of Z".

And to be fair their stance is not totally unreasonable. On both isles of the political spectrum most voters for some candidate ignore at least part of what the candidate says _and_ does. No candidate perfectly matches up with what you think should be done, that's normal and expected, democracy isn't perfect. A part of this process is trying to guess what the political candidate really thinks/believes vs what they say just to gain political capital. All people living in a democracy learn to do this early on. I guess for many Trump supporters they guessed that even with all the seemingly violence inducing rhetoric it wouldn't end up with a mob assaulting a federal government institution. Mistakes were made. :)
So let me get this straight: It was fine when violence was insighted during the Arab Spring, but now it's not ok? I'm British and live in England so have no skin in the game, just amazed at the double standards by the major social media companies. On second thoughts perhaps I shouldn't be that surprised.
iMessage does not use SMS at all. It is 100% IP based like WhatsApp.

The Messages app on iOS devices can switch to SMS if the iMessage service is not available. It would certainly be possible for Apple to design an iMessage-only client that will not do that. But they don’t want to.
I would assume they can wipe it remotely though no?

I guess that would assume they connected to the internet though.

It is true that _NSAKEY was necessary for the technical implementation of cryptographic export controls. It is also true that one of the goals of cryptographic export controls was weakening the security of people who use exported software. (Although saying that the NSA had only one goal is pretty wrong: read up about DES's S-boxes, which caused all sorts of cries of "Backdoor!" before Snowden was even born.) But calling _NSAKEY a "backdoor" is confusing for lots of reasons.

At the same time as _NSAKEY, there was another bizarre mechanism in the '90s called "server-gated cryptography". US law was that exported cryptography could not be stronger than 40-bits, but there was an exception for financial organizations. The implementation was that certain CAs were trusted to verify whether their customer was in fact a financial organization (trusted in the sense that, if the browsers decided wrong, they were violating munitions control laws...) and could place a special extension in the certificate. If that certificate was present, export browsers would negotiate 128-bit cipher suites; otherwise they would only negotiate 40-bit cipher suites.

This mechanism, incidentally, blew up in our collective faces two weeks ago under the name "FREAK", and there was a lot of talk about whether the NSA's meddling was appropriate.

But where's the backdoor? In this case, it is the presence of certain CA keys that allows strong crypto, and their absence weakens it. _NSAKEY has the same goal, but it's just done in reverse. So calling the key a backdoor is not very meaningful, since in the SGC case, we'd have to call the absence of a key a backdoor.

This is a very different sort of thing from the Lotus escrow business in this article, where the software silently encrypts the data to a public key owned by the NSA. The Windows _NSAKEY is just a signing key, and in US versions of the software, _KEY is also allowed to sign all the same things. Nothing is ever encrypted to _NSAKEY.

Or, in other words, the presence of _NSAKEY in US versions of the software cannot possibly weaken anyone's security.

If there is a backdoor here at all, it is the entire system of export controls for crypto. (Which everyone knew about because it was literally the law, so calling it a "backdoor" is sorta like calling Wikipedia's edit-this-page button a "security vulnerability".) All of this was very different from the Lotus backdoor described in the article.
Check out correlation filters - there's a ton out there - OTSDF, MMCF, MOSSE, ZACFs, etc. They're basically designed do template matching but in such a way that the input statistics are considered to refine the output result for better matching (less errors, improved separation between classes, etc). I don't know of any Java libraries, but here is a MATLAB library of different types (https://github.com/vboddeti/CorrelationFilters) and here is a very basic implementation of OTSDF using C++ via the Eigen library (https://github.com/jsmereka/PatchBasedCorrelation/tree/maste...).
Re-reading this now, I'm struck by how similar some Tim Sweeny's lines of discussion are to Rich Hickey's, particularly about functional by default and bounded mutability.

A dependently typed Clojure would do well against all 3 of Tim's stated topic areas (and of course most likely would need the obligatory curly bracket syntax... for better or worse).

A line from a song is far weaker entropy-wise due to grammar. I wonder by how much. Common songs/writings would be vulnerable to a dictionary type attack.

As for the hundreds of passwords in your list, I'm convinced a password manager with a master password/3rd party auth/dongle is the way to go. Otherwise it's impossible to have unique passwords for all sites, rotate them, and remember them. Of course the risk is of losing the dongle.

The author implies that publishers might take the deal because Facebook is far more powerful than they are--they have no choice. I don't think that is true at all.

If you're on Facebook, look through your feed. How many of the items are personal information someone has entered into Facebook (status updates, photos, etc), and how many are published articles that someone has shared? In most feeds it is a healthy mix. A quick survey of my own showed about a 2:1 ratio in favor of published content.

Shared articles are an inherent part of the value of Facebook today, which means Facebook has no leverage. They can't hurt publishers without also hurting themselves.

Ask yourself this: if Facebook has all the power, why are they bothering to offer to host published content on their servers? Why not stick with the status quo, where the publishers do all the work and Facebook just serves ads?

In fact, Facebook is creating this new service to help Facebook. Because, like publishers, Facebook also faces growing competition for attention. A world in which publishers self-host their own content is a world in which Facebook is just a middleman...and middlemen are easily replaced on the Internet. Readers can share links on Snapchat just as easily as they can on Facebook.

Content is still king. People want interesting things to read. Publishers, not Facebook, are the companies who give them that. Facebook has to become a publisher itself in order to compete for the long term--just like Netflix is now creating its own series.
The problem here is that if it works, how is it superstition?
