As someone who has done a lot of interviewing from the interviewer side at my current FAANG, it's usually obvious when someone has seen the question before - in the debriefs, the candidates who were honest have it noted out loud to the debrief panel & it makes them look good due to integrity, and those who were dishonest also get it noted as a significant negative.

Perhaps I evaluate differently than a lot of interviewers, but I'm primarily interested in figuring out if a candidate has the traits/skills that I'm looking for in a potential coworker - for us, the traits matter more than the skills even.

Why? Because it gives people ideas?
You cannot really expect that every user will have sufficient expertise to understand how an operating system works. Today not even technical users can do it without investing considerable effort.

Security only explains why _some_ people should be able to understand how software works, and this is a different story. You do not need to make software open source or free for that, there can exist entire spectrum of various licenses and accesses. This is what I mean by delegating the work to institutions: you let someone you trust to audit the code for you. This can be a dedicated team in your company, a 3rd party expert or a government agency, the important part is only those people really need access to the code, because only they can understand it.
Recently happened to me twice in a short span. After I was assigned the driver, the car was just sitting there for ten minutes. Then it suddenly started approaching and it arrived in 5 minutes, there was no traffic.

I believe they were waiting for me to cancel and have me take the penalty, but I was purposefully not giving up this time. Or they just wan to pick and choose their orders and have no way to cancel an unwanted trip.

Another time the driver came and passed me and went to a different location without stopping or answering messages. I was just watching the car get further and further away.
In those restrictive business environments, the IT admins have a couple options: they can whitelist outgoing connections they've allowed and block everything else, and they can disallow users from installing anything but approved apps.

A business that says "you can't use software that calls" home is going to completely fail at enforcing that unless they implement technical restrictions that preclude it from happening in the first place.

For TLS 1.1 (and supposedly "TLS 1.2+" since https://github.com/tlsnotary/PageSigner/commit/4e12573): https://tlsnotary.org/pagesigner

For TLS 1.3 there's also TLS-N from https://eprint.iacr.org/2017/578.pdf but it requires a cooperating server:

"TLS-N generates non-interactive proofs about the content of a TLS session that can be efficiently verified by third parties and blockchain based smart contracts. As such, TLS-N increases the accountability for content provided on the web and enables a practical and decentralized blockchain oracle for web content. TLS-N is compatible with TLS 1.3 and adds a minor overhead to a typical TLS session. When a proof is generated, parts of the TLS session (e.g., passwords, cookies) can be hidden for privacy reasons, while the remaining content can be verified."
Somewhere out there, a person really believes that the way to take twitter over is to make a random cryptocurrency and crypto-pay people to clone things through a browser extension

Nevermind the insane electricity costs - how are you getting anyone to install the extension, when nobody values your fake coin?
Well these were native tribes that have been living in these mountainous jungles for a long time.

For me, I associate the label "locals" with a slightly more "modern" society which has been converted to modernism a certain amount.

In no way did I mean to demean them if that is where you are going with this. :)

But you can certainly call them locals if you wish.
We know why SM particles come in "whole generations": a mathematical consistency condition known as anomaly cancellation [0]. We also know that with only 2 generations we cannot get violation of charge-parity symmetry [1] via the Cabibo angle [2] alone; to get CP violation we need at least a 3x3 CKM matrix [2]. CP violation is one of the Sakharov conditions [3] that is required to get matter/antimatter asymmetry from early universe dynamics.

This is not an a priori reason, per se, but it does waggle its eyebrows up and down in a sort of anthropic way.

That's going to be 0.000000032 Twitcoin. If you want a a coin to succeed you need to make the amount people pay easier to fathom. This goes especially for people that come from a fiat world.
The argument isn't "you wouldn't understand it" but rather "we don't understand it since we're using a giant neural network"

2. My argument is that "as bad as things are now, they will get much worse if people don't have to even do the reverse engineering and Twitter (Google) simply hand them the instructions for how their system works (and therefore how to game it)".
I think there's a loss of basic stimulation while a finer perception of abstraction. This low stimulation state increase degradation at unhealthy rates.

I assume people doing subtle physical and mental activities (danse, music, craft) can maintain both.
Or, you know, providing dozens of jobs and generating under ten million in income, while destroying hundreds of jobs and a cultural gathering place.

I don't blame the mine owners - they'll make more money exploiting the land than continuing to rent it to the Ren Fest. But I'm not convinced that it's a net benefit for the community.
Cool to see this. By my count we now have, in no particular order:

- React Native from Facebook (https://github.com/facebook/react-native)

- Appcelerator's Titanium and Alloy Frameworks (http://appcelerator.com)

- Telerik's Native Script (http://telerik.com/nativescript)

- Xamarin (http://xamarin.com)

As I understand it, all three of these frameworks have a JS (or C#) runtime that is compiled along with the app. This JS runtime is what drives the app and uses the native features of each platform (iOS / Android).

I've been building on Appcelerator for the last 4 months on some basic apps, and it works pretty well.

I look forward to trying out some toy apps on the other platforms.
Addictive, simple and logical. Love it.
This is really huge.

Maybe Idris or Coq integrate Z3.
Lol, I know, felt stupid after I got to that realization

I worked in a hardware startup just off the old street roundabout for a year or two and have lived in Shoreditch for the last 5 years. I'm glad there is a rising tech industry but much like NYC I doubt tech will ever take hold like in the Valley or Oxford and Cambridge simply because there is too much else going on, mostly in the finance sector.

Object is bloated? That's an odd complaint. Much like array covariance, object was pretty much directly copied from Java.

I disagree on getting rid of Equals if for no other reason it's implicitly used often (like in collections). And if there is no canonical idea of equality, that's what overriding Equals is for, and what Object.ReferenceEquals is for (return yourself to the base notion of equality when you need it).
Sorry, but I don't agree. Life is a balancing act. Maybe socialization is taking up valuable time, but cutting yourself off completely may also be destroying future opportunities and inspiration.
Its hard for me to find any piece of advice that 'messed' up my life per say. From the sounds of it, it seems like I'm blaming some advice when I should be accepting majority of the blame myself.
Reducing car weight and profile will help too, we can't keep driving these huge cars (though it doesn't have to be super small either).

My electric bike can go nearly 40 miles @ 25mph on a 48v 20ah battery.

The difference is weight and wind profile.
There is a paper available here:
http://www.bitcoin.org/sites/default/files/bitcoin.pdf

It's using digital signatures to transfer coins. The prior owner will sign a coin and the new owner's public key. The new owner will verify the prior signature before accepting the coin. This is a longstanding idea going back to the 80's.

The rest of the details are to prevent double-spending without having a centrally trusted authority. I haven't spent time looking at this and can't say whether it works as advertised.
I haven't, actually. This is something that I have considered but didn't actually know where I should start.

The transition from 2D to 3D is pretty daunting, though. I do know a thing or two about using a 2D engine (assuming they don't differ that much in fundamental ways) just by working where I do.

Do you think I should stick with 2D engines before going on to develop 3D applications?
Opera didn't even make the list. Seems like https://bugs.opera.com is for internal use only.
Thanks for correcting me in a polite way - I see that analysts place app store profits at only about 1% of apple's gross profits since the store opened. Huge was obviously a poor choice of words, but still the numbers are compelling - $189M in gross profit on ~$1.3B gross revenue (assuming the $1B paid out * 1.3) - 14.5% margins even while including operating costs associated with free apps. One can also assume that the 1% contribution to profit is a growing figure since it includes the entire time the app store has been open but sales have been increasing steadily. While apple calls it "a bit over break-even", that has always been the line with itunes as well yet there are various pieces of evidence that suggest that is somewhat of a fib.

I think you make an even better point than I was thinking of though. Apple clearly values the tight control they have over applications highly. Whatever their motivations there - ux, security, platform lock in, vertical integration, control over competitors - they surely believe that ceding that control would have a negative effect on their bottom line.
Read "Unequal Democracy: The Political Economy of the New Gilded Age" by Larry Bartels. He gives some evidence of the harmful political effects of income inequality. I don't know why it matters whether the scale is increasing - I think it's enough to show that it is harmful. It's honestly a pretty boring book, so more work needs to be done on this.
> Americans seem to be in the minority for eating salad before meals

I always believed that's the only way it's eaten by etiquette (after appetizer and before the main course).
One thing that is on my (way too long) list of things to try is n-gram chess. 1-gram chess would, for every move from black, have a dictionary of (following move, win probability) pairs, and it would pick one that is legal using the win probabilities to generate a distribution (if there is a sure win, almost always pick it; if there is a move that always lost before, pick it very rarely)

You can start this of with empty dictionaries, and have the thing learn after each game (let two copies play for a few days to get let them teach each other how to play chess)

2-gram chess would improve on this by using (white move, black's reply) as the key in such a dictionary.

I think that would make for better chess than this. For some N, N-gram chess might even superficially look like the real thing at times.
"Europe"? Which Europe? The Anglo-Saxon UK? The Germanic DACH region? The Nordics? The Mediterranean?

All these are "Europe" - but in terms of culture, finance, social welfare, educational systems and much else beside they are very different.
Right there on the front page: "We are also working on an Android implementation which we will release later."
Surprised this post didn't come with a link to a picture.
Can someone compare this to Django/ Flask? Would building a project with Falcon be similar to building a project with Flask?

This looks interesting, but I'm not well versed at evaluating a new web framework. I've built a few projects in Django, and I have a basic understanding of how I'd go about building a project in Flask. I've never worked on a high-traffic project.
This exactly. The amount of griping over such a non-issue is ridiculous. It takes almost nothing to adapt to the change, but people act like Apple switched their keyboards from QWERTY to Kanji.
I think it is different, yes, and I posted a long comment on his blog about how the two really aren't comparable. I think it would still be nice to see a phone that "puts social values first" and simultaneously has the same goals as the Edge. I'm sure the price tag wouldn't be very appealing, though.
Maybe there is proof to your first comment. I would remain more committed to a job that randomly gave me $100 once a year than a company that sponsored happy hours or (in the case of my last employer) had cookies and milk delivered. The biggest driver of loyalty is job satisfaction and overall compensation is the biggest driver of that after enjoyment of the job.
Same. A lot of people here are saying they have issues with it, but I find it hard to believe that they gave it a fair chance. Probably just did a handful of searches before giving up on it entirely.

I've been using DDG for a few years now, and very rarely do I find that I need to go to Google.
We have government funded police and judiciary sending government officials to jail when they break the law, I think we could set up an independent journalism arm as well to publicly report what is going on in the halls of parliament.
> Yes, but let's not pretend there's "absolute" freedom of speech even here in the United States.

This isn't whats happening is it? The exemptions to free speech are well known and taught in entry level civic classes [1]. There are quite a few. Whats happening here is another discussion on the intricacies of free speech (which have hundreds of pages of professional opinion and case law for each exemption) full of nuance. However here, as is the case for most discussion forums, you can only fall into two groups: anarchist or fascist.

Heres a more honest view: given free speech laws in the US it's not clear what we should or what is right to do with regards to advertising medicine. We will probably have a populist exemption when it's needed, as we have in the past.

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_free_speech_exce...
The defenses I've seen are less about free speech and more to the tune of "doctors can't possibly know everything, so you should ask them in case they haven't looked into it." Frankly, if you think a TV advert does a better job at informing you about medical research then your doctor, who spent tons to graduate and more still on continuing education to maintain a license, you probably need new doctor.
Yep, we run the full stack. Consul for service discovery and as the storage backend for Vault. We use Vault for config, PKI, Nomad/Consul ACL auth, and we're just starting to experiment with MSSQL dynamic credentials.

Of the three systems, Vault probably takes the most of our time and effort, and that's probably only a few hours per month. We've struggled a bit with performance at least partially because the Consul backend is shared with service discovery.

All of the VMs are built and managed with Terraform using images built with Packer+Ansible. We also use the Nomad/Consul/Vault Terraform providers to apply and manage their configurations.

We have an SRE/Platform Engineering team of 12 (and hiring) that's responsible for the overall orchestration platform additionally including Prometheus/Thanos/Grafana for metrics and ELK for logs.

Hope that's helpful!
Only if you make improper global comparisons. Within comparable American populations, wealth is positively associated with fertility.

"Examining data from 1985 to 2007, Lovenheim and Mumford use short-run home price variation over time within cities as their shock to family wealth. They find that a $100,000 increase in the value of one’s home results in a 16% increase in the probability of having a child."

I didn't make a single claim about coercing owners of private property. In fact, I ended by saying that if you want to maintain total control, you should go ahead and buy the neighborhoods you want to prevent from changing!
I'm not sure if you guys actually even looked at what these requests were but most of them are irrelevant and rightly so... obsolete/irrelevant features. To choose one particular example that stood out to me from the first page with 198 stars:
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=1140

I wont even get started on how much information this is lacking for it to be actually executed. The point being that most of the ones in the list have not even been touched in over a year and more closely resemble a Christmas wishlist than actual issues. They should be closed since they are cluttering up the workflow of real problems and it would be a waste of an engineer's time to respond to them all adequately.

If they are still relevant a year later maybe you should go through and do something productive like creating a new issue with updated details.
"At some point in a long living project, you have to declare some bugs are #wontfix." - that point is called "dying".

Just cancelled too.

Given all the shilling and backstabbing in the online VPN recommendation industry, it’s hard to trust any advice now, not even comments here. God knows who’s a shill.

But those geoblocks and the occasional need to anonymize activities... Really hard to solve. (I know Tor. Tor is too damn slow.)
I blame the Lean Startup/Indiehackers mentality of validating, validating, validating before building anything. I mean, I get where they're coming from but it really hard to distinguish it from phisihing attacks.
But have there been long and deep usability studies with users from all ages and experiences to determine if this is the most comfortable and easiest to use system? Or did Steve Jobs go on stage, show the iPhone tailored to his preferences and usage style and then everyone copied that? Because I kind of feel like the systems you describe are doing little more than cargo-cult programming mixed with envy for whatever is "cool" at the time.
They don't look so simple tonight.
i do not understand why the unicode type is needed inside the program. Why can't you treat everything as bytes? It's not like you can't concatenate two strings of bytes!

If these bytes mean something or something else, this is a concern for the user of the program that feeds it these bytes. The program itself could be oblivious to that.
>I wonder what will happen to Freenode now

Well, they're already pushing this cryptocurrency scheme https://freenode.net/news/spam-shake
The Peloton subreddit is full of non-disclosed astroturfing accounts.
.com has price caps. Imagine what happens when they remove those and they can just price everyone out of their .com names, names they may have had for 25+ years.

Imagine a world where whomever has the most money can control your brand. What happens when McDonalds buys the Burger King brand because BK was priced out?

.com, .org, and .net are long standing shared resources that should not have unlimited prices. They should be capped forever.
I think they got it right.

The world is on its way to broiling, one should not be surprised there are efforts to dissuade the unnecessary use of fossil fuels. Induction stoves are very efficient and pleasant to use, heat pump HVAC and water heaters are very efficient, leaving only geographies where gas fired furnaces are a must for heating needs where gas service need be continued.
The main issue was that I didn't want the user to just see compversions.com/home/index when they are logged in.

I wanted them to see compversions.com.

If I have index.html - as far as I found anyway - in my public directory, all requests to compversions.com (logged in or not) will either redirect to compversions/home/index or compversions.com/index.html.

So, as far as my research told me at the time (remember I am just learning Rails still, so I could be wrong anyway) was that if I wanted logged in users to see compversions.com when they are logged in and on the root_path, there couldn't be a index.html, otherwise Rails routing would default to index.html.
Stock price down 8% in a single session based on short-term emotion and reaction?

Submitted because some folks were complaining that the article with the title "Principles of pitching" wasn't about this.

It never ceases to amaze me how powerful the Magnus effect actually is in practice, that a decent pitcher can put such a noticeable curve on a ball.
I believe you only can stand on the "dock" issue, not including it having 4 apps, as the grid constitutes that number. EVERY other point can be found together on phones pre-dating the iPhone.
His profound disgust for Terminal.app to me is a case of Princess and the Pea syndrome: I remember typing into actual glass terminals, so—without trying to sound too much like grandpa here—he sounds a bit spoiled to me.

I knew a lot of people like this guy. I'd be sitting at a SPARCstation in the computer lab running twm and there'd be some dude next to me that was never content with something that just fucking worked and he was constantly trying to optimize everything. As someone else already said, whenever I see people like this, I want to ask, "Better for whom? Better for what?"

And what of this? "I don’t think I need to further argue this sub ject—we all agree open-source is good." Hello?! You're talking to Mac users here, they may not agree to some statement that you find blindingly obvious, given that they're not using a $300 netbook based on Linux.

Yeah, all things considered, maybe I'd prefer to program Unix on a FreeBSD box, but I do more than just program.
I feel like I'm in the same boat as you, Linux didn't cut it for me, and I moved back to OSX.

I don't need to have Terminals covering my screen, there's only so much I can focus on at a time anyways.

I too don't like reaching for the mouse, but found that I really don't need to that often anyways.

Yes, at work I use vim, and Mutt and various other command-line tools on Linux (in fact, the only thing that's GUI is my Jabber client and web browsers). But for some reason when at home or working on non-work projects I prefer TextMate, Sparrow and my OSX.

But that's for me…
