>(It's also telling that you keep referring to "the West" when you clearly mean "the US".)

The West has implemented NATO and thus offloaded most of it's foreign intervention to the US in exchange for other concessions.

>Give or take at least eleven million war deaths in WW2 and the Korean war. (And, pointedly, excluding the larger Chinese government democides of its own people.) If we take that to a round century, we get another three million dead or so. You really are cribbing from the same bizarre talking points as the other guy in this thread, aren't you?

China was in a defensive position in WW2, they didn't have a choice. As for democides, sure, those are pretty bad, do you want to compare them to the atrocities of the third Reich or does that also not count as the West? I kept West to West.

>Ah, but there's the problem. You're comparing centuries of history of the West--which would be comparable to the wars and imperial abuses inflicted on its neighbors by China over centuries of its history--to what China is doing right now with a system of concentration camps. That's not just tu quoque, it's downright sleazy, especially when you cite "millions in penal labour" as a defense of the PRC.

No, I compared the million of deaths in less than 20 years to that, after you made the comparison in the other comment. I'm not a making a defence, I'm responding to your whataboutism in kind. Just as easily I could have read the above comment as defense of the murder of a million people in the Middle East by comparing it to mere reeducation camps, which is downright sleazy, but I didn't, because I assumed you were arguing in good faith.

From someone who lives literally anywhere outside of the West, including Muslim countries, the atrocities of the PRC are very comparable to those of the West.

People keep thinking that only authoritarian government commit attrocities, while their own governments commit warcrimes at the same time. What cognitive dissonance.
The groups are of course even less defined than in your edit, I consider my self to be in the group: Just make it work, but enable me to discover what went wrong. I think it takes to many development hours to make your GUI discoverable. The question is how to make good abstraction, how can you make the GUI use the same API as the CLI interface and how do you connect them in a meaningfull way. Network-manager really tried to do this, came 80% of the way imho.
Not sure why this is getting downvoted. The main success factor for Clubhouse is the social graph. It is entirely possible to have access to people like Paris Hilton, Anthony Scaramucci, or MC Hammer among other notable people.
I said I couldn't prove it.

If I was an investigative journalist and or I had significant amount of time, then I would look into it.
In the US? Death.

There's a port of Lemmings 1 on the Windows store. A few things like the bomber explosions were changed, but it's otherwise the same game.
Yeah well, deep learning is still very far from general artificial intelligence. It just gives you that impression because it's essentially a very advanced parroting system.

The challenge with automating seemingly monotonous human tasks is that often when the human is doing the task, they may be doing it without thinking 99% of the time, but if they have to, they can resort to their human intellect. No deep learning model is going to be able to do that because it does not have any higher intellect to resort to. And more importantly it cannot even know when it is failing.
If the judge is technically literate, then why can't she understand basic aspects about web browsers and tracking? I have an alternative hypothesis for you: the judge is not technically literate.
Yes. In the pre-DirectX games SDK for Windows 95 it was a mix of “surface” and DIB (eg CreateCompatibleDIB). The win32 API was already using “canvas” in many places. Surface actually shows up in OS/2 Presentation Manager as well.
Lagrangian mechanics gets a bit ugly if you want to include friction.
I have a multi-city dedicated completely separate from traffic bike path that would take up 90% of my bicycle commute distance but I still drive to work because the last 2 miles to get into the office involves mingling with high speed traffic, broken glass, trash, illegally parked cars and my favorite: "SHARE THE ROAD" signs.

My company keeps on sending out surveys to see how people feel about the "Return to the Office." It's as if they'll keep sending out surveys until they get the answer they want to hear.
Agree! Bringing up those around you is the real way to be seen as a 10Xer. The alternative story of one hacker solving all of the business's problems on their own is a fairy tale.

It's nice, but C# already had `person is {}` which whilst it requires a bit more familiarity with C# extends to more uses like `person is { name: "Rationalist" }`.
That's great for the Dutch but I don't live in the Netherlands, I live in Texas. All of the above are absolutely concerns - especially in the summer.
That's a very hard allegation to prove. For example, nearly 100% of Indian visa applicants are brown skinned. Nearly 100% of African applicants have dark skin. The skin color isn't the reason for denials, it's the country of origin, the propensity for people of those countries to overstay along with the personal resources of the applicant. A visa applicant from Bangladesh is going to be denied much more frequently than a visa applicant from Serbia. Not because Serbians are lighter skinned, but because statistically, Bangladeshis are more likely to overstay. There's not much personal appearance bias in the consular equations. Also, visa approvals and denials are reviewed by a supervisor -- the State Department is among the most excessively politically correct agencies around. They go out of their way to ensure fairness. I don't agree with all of their decisions of course, but race has minimal if any influence.

If you want to see some "proof" of this, look at the rate of visa denials for Albania (mostly white skinned people) -- 42% denied. Compared to Zimbabwe with only a 22% denial.

The "white skins get denied less because of racism" meme is not based on any sort of data, facts or anything resembling a statistically valid statement. It's just typical nonsense.

California Superior Court requires a 3/4 majority in civil jury trials. All states require a supermajority in civil cases, and federal courts and about half of state courts require unanimous verdicts.
Yeah, what I'm getting at is that those posts don't actually come right out and say your code should be calibrating itself regularly. They talk about selecting a work factor by benchmarking your current hardware, but they leave it there, and one might come to the conclusion that once they've measured their hardware, they put "13" in a config file and call it done. I'm advocating for advice like "Don't think about work factors, think about time. Your configuration should be a time value, and when your app starts up, it should compute its own work factor based on this time value." If your code does this, there's no need for rules of thumb like "11 is a good starting point for a bcrypt work factor."
> bcrypt(password, salt+pepper)

I hope it's obvious that no one should never do this, since the output would contain the "salt+pepper" bits in cleartext alongside the hash, defeating the entire point of the "pepper":

https://www.usenix.org/legacy/event/usenix99/provos/provos_h...

In fact, this is a perfect illustration of why it's bad to put secret bits into a crypto function in a place that's not designed to take secret bits. Bcrypt does not treat the salt parameter as a cryptographic secret, and other algorithms might not either. And they might leak it in more subtle ways.
Where can I find an hackable input component that does XY and aftertouch? The Synaptics ForcePad seems ideal but it looks like it's only available integrated into laptops.
About half way down and beyond.
The article says "looked a lot like a Google Calendar". In other words: any calendar program / app.
You'll never stop people doing that. People like systems that are easy, and refuse to use systems that are difficult. 2 factor auth is a good compromise - it's secure, and you can save the second authentication factor until the user tries to do something important - eg Amazon lets you view your previous transactions with just a cookie, but if you want to add a new address you need to reenter your password. Or online banking that frequently lets you log in with just a password but requires a securekey authentication to add a new payment recipient.

Also, systems ought to mitigate the harm from a compromised account as easily as possible too. I should be able to rollback updates to my account, delete content posted from my account, and so on, very easily. Tricky to do in massively distributed databases like Twitter or Facebook but definitely possible.
Alright, useful to consider. Thanks.
There is, however, now a company called Numenta that's working on AI using structures they call Hierarchical Temporal Memory that are, in fact, based on trying to model the sort of structures actually found in the brain.

Yeah, I definitely submitted this a bit early. I've added a fair amount of icon detection (no more search icons or books with question marks) and I've overhauled the interface so it's ajaxy and a good bit more fun to play. Thanks for the feedback!
Yes, but it's unofficial enough that a little bit of money can easily reverse it. In practice, state officials will act like the unions' whores and national officials will be cozy with whoever chose to spend time and money on them.
I had very similar thoughts when I read the book. It seems to me that if there is no desire for class mobility then strata are not evil.

However, humans being what they are, it seems impossible to guarantee that lack of desire. This is (kind of) demonstrated by Bernard's discontent and by John the Savage's inability to cope with the society. Both were weak cases. Bernard because he was privileged, and John because he was a total outsider that was not acclimated to the culture.

I'm not an expert on scaling uploads, but here's what I'd say off-the-cuff:

1. Try to save time on the UI if possible by reusing existing solutions for multi-file uploads: https://encrypted.google.com/search?q=upload+javascript+plug...

2. Queue up uploads so that users don't start uploading until the server(s) can take them.

3. Delay any processing of the uploaded files.

4. Throw some more cheap servers, additional VMs at the problem, or more dynos/workers if using Heroku, etc.

5. Ensure your pipes are large enough.

6. Or just use Amazon S3, CloudFiles, etc.:

- http://aws.amazon.com/articles/1434

- http://www.rackspacecloud.com/cloud_hosting_products/files

but this may be much higher burn rate, depending on your needs. See what people have written: https://encrypted.google.com/search?q=amazon+s3+alternatives

Scaling is difficult. Don't scale until you need to, because it gets expensive (higher burn rate is bad).

If you really have that many uploads, you may be ready to hire someone that has some proven experience in it, not just helping develop an application that was being scaled by someone else, but someone who was hands on, and preferably someone with recent experience working with S3, etc.
I was the victim of an SSH scan once. I set up an old box as a dev server in my apartment for a project course in college. I was in a group of about 12 students. One of them whose username was robert set his password to robert (a brilliant move).

We only realized the machine was compromised because the interloper decided to pick two user accounts at random and delete them (another brilliant move).

Upon investigation I found that a keylogger had been installed in order to discover the root password. I inspected the output of the keylogger to trace the attacker's steps. Similar to the SSH scan in the article, the attacker had logged into his own FTP server to download various scripts and crackers. Well, the keylogger had logged his FTP password as well (whoops). Naturally I logged in and deleted absolutely everything in sight. :-P
I would guess the opposite. People who are comfortable in making more than average would be more willing to divulge, even anonymously.
I didn't really find that. It's just functions calling other functions. How exciting can that get :/

Looks intriguing but I haven't been able to get this to run in Chrome, Firefox 4 or IE9, even after force-refreshing the page. Any thoughts?
The 'open sourced' connotation was mostly aimed at the process of doing a startup, opening up all the complexities of that from the founders perspective and allowing others to see it and possible reuse those techniques in their own startup. Sorry if I've confused anyone on the nature of that. If I had to give it a more generic name it'd probably just be "Interviews with Startup Founders." If you want to share it with your friends, there's nothing that I can really do about that--I would just say that if you like it enough, try to purchase it.
My brother married a woman from South America (legitimately out of love). When she applied for citizenship, both she and my brother were required to sign forms (under pains and penalties of perjury) that the marriage was kosher, BCIS required references from friends and family (again, under pains and penalties of perjury) attesting to the legitimacy of the marriage, they had to deal with unannounced visits and constantly having to check in. It wasn't until the second kid came along that the govt finally seemed to accept the marriage as real.

Given the hoops my brother and sister-and-law had to go through, I think faking a marriage is a really bad idea unless the fake-spouse is willing to put themselves and close friends/family into big trouble if the sham marriage gets exposed.

Yes, but Facebook was already filtering out JavaScript: their filter just happened to be slightly broken ;)

"According to Facebook, it turned out that some older code was using PHP's built-in parse_url function to determine allowable URLs. For example, while parse_url("javascript:alert(1)") yields a scheme of "javascript" and a path of "alert(1)", adding whitespace gives a different result: parse_url(" javascript:alert(1)") does not return a scheme and has a path of "javascript:alert(1)"."
Ah, aren't you the guy who admitted to the ForeFlight founder at the show that you copied their app? I hear you're in for some courtroom time . Why don't you post some screenshots of your airport page and their airport page side by side so everyone here can see your "original" work.

Isn't marginalization the whole point of FSF? They want to attract people committed to free software not appeal to popular culture. Dressing RMS up and giving him public speaking lessons will not change the ideology. His image as it stands is consistent with his image, the complete opposite of Steve Jobs.
that really sucks considering that contributors on the net built most of imdb. they didn't have anything like a cc license for user contributions back then
Don't do it without really living with that other person for at least a year before getting married.
Pay someone to marry you for the papers. Divorce afterwards.
He should send a cease and desist letter to AT&T telling them not to have their Executive Response Team call him again.

He did specifically tell them not to call him.

As someone who was in this audience two months ago, I am incredibly excited to be starting school at MIT this September and studying computer science. Formal study of CS gets a lot of heat around these parts, but I do think it's one of the best subjects to study for the reasons discussed in the video. Computers are the fastest-changing technology that people have ever witnessed, and there's vast potential for the future of computers and their impact on society.
but in this case there are bandwidth/server costs involved with the pirates using the app.
If 95% of people use less than 2GB per month, why did they need to change the plans? Surely the people using gigantic amounts of data are breaking the terms of service and can be dealt with.

"Unlimited data" isn't about data, or price, or value. It's about not having to worry -- or to even think about -- how much you use your phone. If I'm on a 2GB plan, even though I use less than 2GB per month on average, I'll start thinking about rationing my usage every single time I use my phone. That fundamentally changes the experience of having the internet in my pocket.

I am amazed that Apple allowed AT&T to make these changes. They go against the stuff Apple stands for -- the culture Steve was talking about at D8 yesterday.
Overturned or not, the notion that a big powerful entity with irresistible weapons can suddenly show up and demand impossible payment for things you've been doing for 1000's of years based simply on a bit of paper written in a language unintelligible to you should be terrifying.

It sounds like a science fiction writers dream, however. Sounds like a fabulous "District 9" sequel. The aliens return not for vengeance, but royalties!
I don't see much of a legal framework in this post, which is a shame because it is about a legal topic.

For example the Pentagon Papers decision set precedent that reporters and editors can work with and publish information that would normally be illegal--in that case because it was classified--in the interest of informing the public. Examining a file of credit cards to see if it was from an authentic hack, in the course of reporting that hack, would seem to pretty obviously be in the public interest. People benefit from knowing when their data has been stolen.

Motive matters in criminal prosecutions. A reporter examining a file of stolen data in order to accurately report on it has very different motives from the original hackers who stole the data, or someone looking to sell it.

Barrett Brown worked as a journalist, but the actions for which he was convicted went outside the typical bounds of journalism. I question whether his conviction means much for reporters who stay in those bounds.
Would the heat absorbed by the heat shield be enough to power the igniter and the magnetic field?

Worst case scenario would be to use the heat to power a thermal rocket. Not an efficient use of propellant, but still doable.
I am sometimes interested, but I learnt the hard way that more expensive is not a good measure for better. In other words, it's often really hard to find out which product is better even when I'm perfectly OK with paying more for higher quality. That's the problem called "lack of perfect information", and that's something I totally see being abused to death by advertisers/businessmen.
FWIW, every major retailer can use the exact same data about in-store sales to determine which products to private label.
By removing the reviews, it's possible that Apple will be seen as less credible to potential buyers.

How could anyone disagree with this. Just look at Amazon for a shining example of reviews done correctly. They are always so credible, never gamed, and you never have to worry about fake products especially if you buy products labeled as “Amazon’s Choice”.....
What elephant? Can you be more specific about what's controversial about this? Expansion into China would at least be a coherent basis for this stuff; then, sure, you'd want to know what compromises YC might be forced to make to stay in the good graces of their new host. This is YC withdrawing from China.
Totally right, however I think it depends on the people. Like can we all agree that developers who use 3 spaces to indent are going to a special place in hell?

2? Sure, nice and compact.

4? Hipster but OK I can handle it.

Tabs? Well you're probably the most technically correct even if I don't like it.

3? I'll cut you man. I can get along with most people, but everyone has limits.
It's easy enough to tap into the service ahead of the meter. Or if you've taken the meter apart, adjust the analog signal conditioning. And so power companies monitor aggregate usage per neighborhood, and if there is a discrepancy, go looking.

In general most people are honest, most of the others are deterred by stiff penalties, and these issues are kept in check at "human scale". DRM schemes are more likely to be used to erode long-held precepts, rather than being needed to enforce them.
What do you think is wrong with kubernetes, out of interest?
To echo what you were saying, binary distribution on Linux is indeed tough.

A while ago I needed to experiment with an old file format, and I found a Linux binary of a proprietary tool from the 90s. It linked to libc version 5 (from before the Linux world adopted glibc). It would have been complicated to get it running.

I found a Windows binary of the same tool. Put it on a Win10 VM I had for other purposes. No issues.

Stable binary ABI of userland is something the Linux world doesn't do well. Win32 and COM are really good at this.
