You left out the bit where it was his company that he claimed added the alleged backdoors. If he's as untrustworthy as you've hinted at, I expect that those with authoritative knowledge will speak to that soon enough, but it seems like it will take more than just evidence of past lying to put this one to rest. Even liars tell truths.
Congrats to DataMarketplace, hopefully they made some scratch off the deal. I hope Infochimps decides to lower their commission, 50% is a bit steep.

Maybe this explains the issues with DataMarketplace in the past few months.
Good points. Not to mention that a large, visible target like Google would attract even more people with malicious intent since the payoffs would be much higher.

And no, Google is not invulnerable, as evidenced by last year's intrusions that originated from China.
Sure, depending on the context.
Do the delegated mails also appear in IMAP?
Some of that is archaic database tables (or using NIS/YP as the user manager in the backend).
You didn't used to be able to start a password on AMEX's sites with a digit...
What do you use Istio for? 90% of the usecases I hear about could be solved with simpler tooling.
LinkedIn was much worse as they used dark UX patterns to trick you into letting them spam all your contacts with invitations to “connect”.
I don’t see how democracy is much different, to be quite honest. The same structures get set up (the state, instead of a Lord, provides security ... over time the state drags the “citizens” into new wars all the same). I suppose the difference is that in a democracy you at least have an illusion of influence on the state, whereas in a Feudalistic society everyone was quite honest about how the peasants had no or only limited influence at best.
The Nobel committee has many sins to answer for.

Fortunately, if immortality is what you're after (rather than just the money), there are other, surer ways to get that. Being the first experiment to verify the defining property of one of the four forces of nature will do it. It's impossible to learn about weak parity violation without learning about Madame Wu. So everyone who matters will remember her :)
Possibly the best explanation on keyboard-oriented workflow. Bravo!

I found ARK and a few others to work on my iPhone. None on my MacBook though.
I'm pretty sure that was a troll!
Because Swedish diplomacy has been about being a neutral-looking lackey for the most threatening powers for a long time. That includes letting the Nazis use our railroads...
Possibly, but why would you want a less efficient RAM chip that costs more compared to something that's a commodity you can buy?
A quick skim of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palestine_(region) says Palestine was controlled by the Mamluk Sultanate since 1260, then by the Ottomans since 1516. So by "European oppression", is he referring to the brief 1915-1948 period, or the pre-1260 Crusader period, that apparently made all the difference?
> What a fantastic way to ensure that only The Right People (TM) can make money off of anything

To be fair though, this is why the regulators exist. And they've got their post government careers to worry about so they will have to do something behind this supposed calamity. But don't worry, like the owner who crams their cat into a brightly colored sweater, they're doing it to protect you.
I don't think he's changed at all. He's still incredibly snarky and even sarcastic in a way I don't like, particularly on Twitter, but I don't think has ever had those other traits you're labeled him with.
You are right. I never knew analise was a word, but I know analyse is the right spelling. I'm gonna chalk this up to auto complete error (really I don't know why I spelled it as analise).
If I could choose between paying $500 rent and earning $10000 a month or paying $5000 rent and earning $10001 a month I'd pick the first one even if the absolute number is higher, and I wouldn't feel ripped off if the other guy was a newer employee. The point of contention here seems to be people wanting to see a bigger number regardless of who actually takes home more disposable income. Seems short sighted to me.
He goes further:

> But even more so, social media incentivizes the wrong kind of reading. Today you read someone from a rival school of thought in order to find the paragraph or sentence that, when pulled out of context and paired with a witty Twitter quip, will garner you lots of little hearts. I’m as guilty of doing this as anyone. A lot of very smart people have poured a lot of time and energy into making you want to collect those little hearts.

> That said, the way you learn things and get smarter is to read strong writers and try to understand what they’re saying [...] and why it is people believe that.
It's the "thinking too much for your own good" phenomenon...

>In our past we used to sleep in groups and so at every point in time, at least one group member was alert to watch out for predators

This is also the reason behind evolutionary pressure to have a certain percentage of night owls among the tribe who naturally sleep late and act as eyes and ears against predators.

In the US, it's popular for Valley companies to complain that they can't hire for what they're willing to pay, but at the same time they are totally unwilling to train—if you're a developer who wants to advance and improve your skillset, well, that is going to be up to you on your nights and weekends. Funny how that works.
In many contexts, the problem is not the absolute performance, but the variation in performance. For example, we want the Opus codec to be relatively insensitive to timing analysis, since Opus audio is often encrypted and transmitted over a network. Large variations represent an information leak that could be exploited by an external observer.

When we started looking at actual timings, we found that it was mostly pretty consistent, except for huge slowdowns in some frames. The cause? glibc's exp() slow path.
Given that the example he shows points to a marketing analytics service, it's quite likely that twilio inserted that and not his provider.
I'm all for evidence-based debate, but as I don't have that particular book, could you please provide specific citations?

I am willing to accept that I am wrong if the evidence really says I am, but I remain deeply suspicious of these conclusions on the basis of the data you have provided so far. A typical 50-60 KLOC project is the sort of thing I would expect one or two decent developers to put together in less than a year. I don't know why even a team of 8 people would be working on a project that small under most circumstances, never mind a team of 20-25 people. Of course if you go into the low end of the tail then the communications overheads will dominate development time with that sort of team size, but that's hardly typical of a realistic project with a competent development team.

(I keep using qualifiers like "competent", because I don't think this level of performance requires exceptional developers and managers, but I am ruling out clueless management or developers who aren't good enough to function effectively in a team at all. Of course with such people your supervision and communication overheads go through the roof.)

Edit: Never mind. I found the relevant excerpt of the book you mentioned. You are making a completely unfounded generalisation, extrapolating from data taken in a very specific context, with no logical basis whatsoever. I stand by my previous posts.
In my mind, C++ is one of the only languages that is evolving with the times.

They don’t add features that break backward compatibility, or features that sacrifice runtime performance especially if you don’t use those features. Most new features added to C++ are actually just additions to the STL, which you aren’t forced to use.

It is an open standard, so there is plentiful competition in the realm of compilers. Rust only has 1 so you are SOL if you don’t like something or if the project goes bust one day.
I'm not sure I understand. Something can be causally connected through something other than light. Say gravitational waves. So using "light" in this case would be wrong.

Causality refers to the underlying constraints from the theory (nothing travels faster than the speed of light), this is more general than talking about any particular type of particle/field.

The observable universe is the set of points from which information can reach you. That is not the same as spacetime?
An honest question: At what point should we stop trading the healthy development of children for a reduction of risk for certain vulnerable parts of the population?

Apart from the reference, they seem to like humour, or at least saying it's "for the busy and impacient" while the name actually means "lasts forever" is funny.

I don't like it :(
+1 for a great response. I totally agree. I would like to expand upon one of the points and add a few more too.

Expanding on #3:

Team sports & activities can increase not just mental acuity, but social acuity as well. Being academically intelligent will get you far, but being socially & emotionally intelligent as well will get you even further.

Also, martial arts, dancing, and any kind of activity that requires fine coordination can significantly build new neural patterns. If you enjoy doing them, then the overall mental health you gain is a total bonus.

#7:

Learning a new language and/or travel outside of your country. Different languages and cultures can actually affect the way you perceive the world in subtle (and sometimes not-so-subtle) ways. They expand your understanding & view of the world, thereby allowing you to see an issue from multiple viewpoints.

A quick example is national and global politics. I don't really care for politicians, but I try to follow the shifts in the world climate as much as I can. And I'm always impressed by how my European friends seem to have such a keen understanding of US politics, while I'm scratching my head about European politics.

#8:

Foster many interests. If you have a random interest in birds, feed it. Read books on birds. Go bird watching. Join a bird watching group.

One of the reasons people are cited as geniuses is because they are able to engage in lateral thinking. They can see patterns in seemingly unrelated topics. This is a powerful mental mechanism that can help in all facets of life - especially in solving difficult problems.

#9:

Engage in critical thinking. Practice the art of asking "Why?" Don't always accept what you see and hear at face value. Question it, probe behind it, and get at the underlying truth.

The news media is a great place to practice this. I used to work in this industry and even studied subjects like communication, propaganda, and marketing in college.

Allow your curiosity to take over as you read the news or watch a TV show. If something doesn't make sense, try searching for more information about it online. Read about it until you've satisfied that itch of curiosity.

One word of caution here: this can be taken too far. I think it's a fine practice to think critically about the declarations people tend to make. I have many friends who say things that seem to be full of questionable assumptions. I want nothing more than to question their statements and challenge them. But doing so can easily cross the line into obnoxiousness. For friends who like to debate, I'll jump right into it. But I pick those battles carefully. Some can take it, some can't.

I hope this helps. It's great that you're asking this question. Wish I had asked it when I was 19. Good luck!
The title is a little bit misleading: Only the email addresses of the owners were reveiled. Not the content of any emails.
The first thing you have to have in mind is being very motivated and consistent in your learning, never stop questioning, and love the details that come with your particular work.

To take someone elses opinions is mostly ok in this world, but You will start to see that your experience in a field is growing, or experience in general, and that will hopefully lead you to the fact that experience is the only teacher.

I'm doing currently an science article about semantic web data and news, for a while I felt stupid in that particular field. But as research comes along, and practice in that particular field I'm starting to feel far more confident about that then I was in the begining.
Coq is usually called an interactive theorem prover, not an automated prover. Interactive provers tend to accumulate varying degrees of automation.

Coq is a project at the scale of other niche programming languages. It is more of a platform than Z3 is. Z3 is more of a solver than a platform.

Coq has many, many moving parts. At it's core it has a dependently typed functional programming language and specification language called Gallina. But around that is built something called the tactic system, which slightly or signifcantly automates proof steps. On top of that there are scripting system like Ltac or plugins for specialized solvers. Coq also basically requires IDE support of sorts, as the proving process is a kind of REPL converation with the system.

Coq is vastly more expressive than Z3, so it makes sense that anything expressible in Z3 is expressible in Coq. What may be more surprising to people who have taken introductory tutorials is that there is significant automation in Coq, it just takes more effort and expertise than Z3's. In principle Coq could use Z3 as a plugin https://smtcoq.github.io/ but the other direction would make no sense at the moment. Z3 is the better choice for large scale but conceptually simple queries or proofs, such as a theorem just involving linear inequalities, arrays, Ands, and Ors, or for solving constraint problems. Coq is the better choice for almost anything more complex than that.
Definitely true, having looked at probably 20-30 ECS frameworks in about 5~ different languages between 2019 and 2020. About half of the ones I looked at, probably a bit less, were DOTS.
Advertisers would hate that kind of model. They want perfectly targeted and customized ads for each individual viewer. Baking the ads into the content or page itself would be going back about 20 years in their world.
A predictable price sufficient to meet netcosts of provisioning is not the same as "price spikes 10,000% under historically precedented but outside planning contingencies weather event.

Texas saw similar temps in late January, 2011, highs around 20°F, lows near zero. That was ten years ago. There weren't widespread outages.

ERCOT's planning excluded that recent history.
> Yes, advertising can by deceiving people about how beneficial a product is. It can also work simply by informing someone about possible benefits of a product the otherwise wouldn’t be aware of.

> These are just the same thing spun different ways.

It seems like you are saying that explaining the benefits of a product is always deception in your mind.

Is there any kind of speech that doesn’t count as deception?

> Obviously false. My local coffee shop started by Latino immigrants advertises their coffee. I started buying their coffee as a result. They are not rich.

> If they own the coffee shop themselves then yes, they definitely as rich. If not, well, they work on behalf of, under the control of, and for the benefit of their rich investors.

What about if they own the business themselves bootstrapped with a small amount of family money which is now spent?

All they ‘own’ is the business name and reputation and the right to continue working under that name to earn income.

This is very common in food service businesses.

Why does that make them rich?

> You are going to have to explain what “1 voice” means. Does it mean no speaking to more than one person at a time? No public speeches? What exactly?
No coercing other people to amplify your message. Surely this would be obvious from the context?

Who is talking about coercing anyone to do anything?

> Neither of these are speech. It’s an absurd comparison.

> Why?

Are you unable to make a distinction between speech acts and any other acts?

It seems like you can’t be a supporter of freedom of speech.

> I see that you are wholeheartedly confirming that you would have to police what the poor could say, in case they were caught taking money to say nice things about anyone’s products.

> For the umpteenth time,

Weird.

> you can criminalize buyers and marketplaces without criminalizing sellers. It's not even a new concept: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nordic_model_approach_to_prost...

Although prostitution may involve speech, the criminalized part is not a speech act.

There are obvious problems with criminalizing a market for speech even if you don’t criminalize the sellers.

It seems like this would mean employees of companies would be unable to talk about their products. They are paid. What if they say something nice about their products?
Wi-Le is interesting. Does it mean you don’t have to connect to a wifi hotspot to do configuration?

The product I made uses BLE to connect between device and mobile for things such as connecting the device to a wifi router. Otherwise the device connects to wifi normally.

I am not sure if a book can teach you how to design large complex programs. I certainly haven't run into one that does it effectively. Perhaps a good "Design Patterns" type book would be useful on the micro-scale, but on the macro scale I can't really think of a good book.

That said it doesn't mean you can't learn this skill! I think the best place to start is finishing a decently sized program. The first time I did this I was extremely unhappy with my design. However, each time it got easier and my designs started getting better.

Second, start reading some large code bases. These are often difficult to read, but they can teach some tricks and some methodology. This summer I read Tomcats source code with the aid of "How Tomcat Works: A Guide to Developing Your Own Java Servlet Container."[1] While not enjoyable (it was for my job), the experience was worth doing.

In the end, all programmers constantly struggle to make scalable, reusable, and maintainable systems. Few programmers achieve a soundly designed system but we can certainly strive to achieve perfection in our designs.

well, i moved from a bb to an iphone4 and love it. it has a far better browsing experience, nicer apps for linkedin etc., dropbox and egnyte.

the last two ones are a dealbreaker for me, i now have access to my private and work documents and a screen where i can actually read them.

when it comes to email i love the unified inbox, having my private and work mails in one, virtual place.
I agree completely that due process is essential and that this action doesn't pass the sniff test in that department.

But while Voltaire was willing to defend the speech (and presumably the due process rights) of those with whom he strongly disagreed, he did take the time to point out his disagreement while doing so.

I would just like to hear more voices in this forum express their distaste for IP theft when they are forced by the foolish actions of the government to speak out in defense of pirates.

I just get the sense that some people here might have pirated material and defend the pirates and second guess the business decisions of IP holders as a sort of sub-conscious defense mechanism. No one wants to think of oneself as a bad person but surely software piracy is wrong.
Another area of specialized, albeit less glamorous, knowledge: legacy app programming (Cobol, RPG, Fortran, etc.)
Managing Gigabytes is one of the more well-known textbooks...

Really though - if you want to get started with IR, your best bet is probably to get a job at Google. This is one of those fields where industrial practice is light years beyond academic research, and once you get a job at Google in basically anything, it's relatively easy to transfer to Search and learn how the system works.
That's because the market segment for that car is young people who will spend money on foolish stuff like that.

Semi-automatics are not designed and engineered to kill humans more than any other firearm. "Semi-automatic" simply means that you don't have to "re-cock" after every shot. You're probably conflating the term with "assault weapons," which is a marketing term that manufacturers use to mean "hunting rifles with gadgets and cosmetics so that they look military-style." Weapons designed for military use are definitely designed to kill people, that's absolutely true -- but the moral standing of such killing depends on the actors, right? Who is doing the killing of whom and for what purpose is what decides the morals. The firearm is amoral. So is software. Tor and guns do not have a "moral difference" because inanimate objects can't have morality to begin with.

Hmm. I'm not sure about this. Radiation is radiation - whether it's blue or UV or radio or x-rays. A sufficiently intense dose of any EM radiation will be potentially harmful. As an example the Visible spectrum sits between micro-waves and UV or x-ray - all of which are potentially harmful.

If it's flaying skin I would say that definitely there could a risk.
To make your comparison more precise:

Apple gives you a fixed set of functions that you can pass to map(). Other OSes give you chance to write your own functions that you will be able to pass to built-in map.
Its a great insight to how the conversation goes with a large corporation, so thanks to whoever posted it. However the conversation becomes rather emotional.

The first email is pretty professional, concisely describing a problem and solution, which got him the initial probing. But if it turns out to be negative in the end, its really nobody to blame.
Everything I've ever wanted to be able to do with C++, I can do with Lua. I see it as the obvious progression from C - though I still find C a highly useful language. Putting Lua on top of whatever needs to be low-level, written in C, provides the next-generation toolset that I find so very productive.
