I have been able to order a taxi with my mobile phone since the first day i got a mobile phone.

The Supreme court decided not to hear the case last year (http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/01/13/us-scotus-newegg-s...)

why is "via a mobile app" not the same as "via the internet?"
Shodan has existed for years and does practically the same thing (enumerates services, etc), but to a far greater extent.

This year at Defcon there was a great talk about masscan and scanning the entire internet (they enumerated a lot of open VNC's right onstage during the talk).

> Attempt to notify the operator.

How? If it's just some IP address, there's little you can do other than login and leave a text file open telling them they have an open VNC (that would surely get my attention).

The argument that a site like this should not exist because someone may exploit it just doesn't hold up. It's like saying we shouldn't post the IP addresses online of open mail relays, or open dns resolvers... which we (the "white-hat" community) did not... until it was discovered they were already posted online. Someone will do it...

If a vendor is so incompetent as-to put an important PLC on the internet, let alone with a completely open VNC, that vendor should be shamed. If we build a list like this site has done, perhaps we can strongly encourage folks to not do this anymore.

Heck, I'd love a search feature to be implemented on the site so I can double check I have no open VNC's on any of my IP's...
I think Nim author need to documentate/explain/illustrate a lot more about its GC. I once have interested in Nim, but I couldn't figure out how its GC is proper (predictable & deterministic rather than throughput) to RT apps. And that dropped my interest on it. I believe this is a biggest obstacle to RT app programmers to take interest on Nim.

Nowadays the term "GC" almost implies "tracing GC", so "non-tracing GC" need to be well explained. Or need to adapt some new term to explain new concept. Currently, Nim's GC explanation just looks like incremental RTGC that is not really attractive to existing RT app programmers.
“My personal guess is that we’ll achieve Full Self-Driving this year at a safety level significantly greater than a person."

The preceding bit, just as bad IMO.
And this is why stupid banning should not exist.
Instead, introduce reasonable regulations to keep your citizens safe from bad business...
My understanding of what Steve Yegge is saying is that the community needs to be open to ideas and debate, and in his experience it is not. He pulled a few examples from the top of his head.

At least that's how I read it.
Clojure already says YES where other lisp-based languages said NO to. (Instead of wrapping all java, let's use it for its strength. Don't just use list, use vector, map, etc. No tail-recursive? Aight, let's do it anyway and find a work-around)

Now, we make to differentiate users and what they ask. Is it a new clojure user who is used to C++ and try to code C++ in clojure and suggest missing features? Or an experienced clojure user offering useful patches to the community. In the first case, the right answer should probably be "Oh, but XYZ is already in Clojure, it's a little bit different than what you've been used in C++, but in fact, it's even more powerful. Here's how you can do it [...]". In the second case, it's more complicated.. but we should go toward the Yes if it adds real value to a day to day task. I mean, even thought clojure is great, you can't guess everything that will be needed.. so you shouldn't be shy to add missing stuff.

Still, Rich's answer is pretty great IMO.
It goes the other way too. Reinforcement learning and control theory are also very useful for general machine learning. That's part of the problem - engineers, statisticians and computer scientists keep inventing different views of the same things. Now that people are communicating and consolidating things will start to get even more interesting.
Thank you for such a great answer!
Take the public transportation you also need to invest in.
What the article completely ignores, is the fact, that building cross site apps has been next to impossible for a long time. Since you can't contact a server who doesn't explicitly allows connections via CORS, your browser based app doomed.

And I write this as someone who would love to build apps all day with web technologies.
It is nearly impossible to answer this question because everyone means something totally different by apolitical and neutral these days, but as far as I can see it is simple, positive children’s programs.
I think some people don't realize that CSRF tokens are basically the same thing as bearer tokens (which JWT also does), but it's just that they get re-generated every time you open a new page usually. So it's a bit ironic when everyone screams that tokens are bad, but they're all using them to protect against confused deputy attacks.
Historically, that human was called a parent. Parents today have no chance at the on-slaught of content and the delivery mechanisms for it. When I was a kid, there were 3 networks with a handful of UHF channels. Cartoons only ran on Saturday morning, most channels went off the air at midnight, and the TV censors were much more strict with would could be on the air. My parents had it easy. When I became a parent, the internet was still small, and YT wouldn't be a thing for another 10 years. I feel for my kid becoming a parent though, or others dealing with it now.
Are you saying you have a mythical body that burns no calories when biking? Or are you saying you'd be willing to gain more weight because you'll never change your diet?

Care to elaborate more on what you mean by this ?
I rarely hear it except in a pejorative sense.
I’m no lobbyist but electric stove tops suck. I’ve been looking to try an induction stovetop. Seems to improve over the gas one by heating up the pan and not the air around it, and I’m hoping they can be set at a constant 10% instead of a very slow PWM like the electric ones.
I think you'd add methods nobody can overwrite using Object. defineProperty(), which is an ES5 thing.
Quite a long article, with different types of monitoring methods and scenarios mentioned.

In the end, we can only do so much to shield ourselves.

Granted, we can and should stop posting personal/sensitive information all over the internet (even on supposedly private forums), but with new and improving tracking technologies (both in the virtual and the physical world), we cannot have total control over our privacy.
latexmk + your document viewer of choice (evince for me) will rebuild your document every time you save. Evince will automatically reload the new document. I use it with vim.
Well, maybe it's a matter of naming here, because while of course they're very domain specific - an esoteric programming language is one that's rather not designed with usability in mind (but as a joke, or to prove some point etc).

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esoteric_programming_language or http://esolangs.org/wiki/Language_list - noone would put Haskell under that category...

I've done a complete 180 on this too, I realised I was reacting from my default position of hostility to new concepts rather than an honest appraisal. I am writing it up at the moment but I've been working on a 1 person SAAS MVP tutorial [0] and though I've definitely misconfigured something having the ability to go from git push to deployed to production with 0 downtime inside of 5 minutes with no manual steps is such a nice flow, versus my previous attempts of SCP and faffing around with services.

When I worked at IBM, I was explicitly told that I would be surprised with what I could patent, and that I should patent things even if they seemed trivial.

This went so against my ethos I quit and found another job.
Good on them. I wish I could use K8 as effectively as the author, it is an incredibly overwhelming list and an impressive range of knowledge.

In my situation I am finding the lack of consistent environment a reoccuring issue, the developer environment does not match production. However I kept it simple with Google App Engine Standard and Flex environments, I found the deployment process simple and was enough for me (at the time) - however I am finding we are going to step into dockerland; however I feel like it is very over my head!
100% this. Hashicorp Nomad is a breath of fresh air in comparison to Kubernetes.
Penny pinching over people's lives. Wow. The difference in cost is about a hundred million dollars I believe? Not a lot to a government like the UK.
^^Very good point.

On OSX with MacFuse and SSHFS, I've done plenty of remote work before on LAN servers and "internet" servers. It definitely works, but is slow. But for being able to open up a "local" file in Vim/text editor and then save it, the only time you are hitting the network is during the save and that can be slow.

Transmit 4 integrated this functionality into their FTP client, auto-mounting of SSH connections, but it definitely seems more crashy than MacFuse to me.
>All objects follow the same geodesics in general relativity.

As far as we know .. I'm trying to imagine particles that do not [Higgs-teflon engage] I'm assuming they would be extra-dimensional (by definition when considering geodesics).

If you decouple particles from the Higgs field where do they go.
I love the title "Internet Driver's License" - it's an analogy that I'm very fond of, but Open ID won't be the solution for this for the same reason the semantic web has never really gained any serious traction.

It takes private companies w/ consumer interests in mind to achieve that sort of global scale and user adoption. In this case, namely Facebook.
Because the original data on which the statistics are based was probably deleted a long time ago. And that's the only way to get the 'right' numbers.
The only option would be to filter out the peak, then again, this will also lose all real information in that timespan. Just too much bother.
I must admit that I would find it amusing as a street art project to pixelate some of those houses for real, with some kind of graffiti perhaps. Or like the artist Christo who wraps things into garments (including the German Reichstag).

I find the pixelated buildings really annoying. Luckily mine isn't pixelated yet, but I am sure it is only a matter of time. My street already has 5 pixelated buildings.
I'm in the UK and my driver's license is the only form of "official" ID I normally carry.

Much to my delight, we canceled the silly project to issue government ID cards.
For the people working there, talking about it on a public forum is cause enough to get fired, and hiding behind an online alias is not going to give you enough protection. Apple is full of really smart people, who like their jobs well enough not to risk losing them so casually and for such little incentive.

As for the process of interviewing: for a lot of the more interesting jobs at Apple, interviewing involves signing an NDA. Hence, whether or not they end up getting hired, they’re contractually prevented from talking about the interview process.

Having worked there in the past myself but not anymore, I can speak only _somewhat_ freely about it all. The interview process can be intense, taking up to several weeks and with a minimum of 4 interviews, but usually 7 or 8. Often, for practicality reasons (travel to Cupertino), all those interviews are done in a single day, and if it's more than 8 it'll be done across two+ days. As for the specifics of an average interview itself, I can’t really say anything.

And as for working there, my own experience was largely fantastic, but it wasn't for me in the end. Apple's campus is by far the nicest I've seen of all the major companies (and I've seen all the ones in Silicon Valley), and though there is always a constant pressure, stress and a major (and insane) deadline to make, working there is incredibly satisfying. Unless, perhaps, you're at MobileMe. But maybe that was just me.
There's enough circumstances where you can be forced to surrender passports though, and certainly historically they weren't automatically available. I understand British passports were, in the late 19th Century, only available to people who the foreign secretary personally knew or was linked very closely to, with the net effect that many British instead obtained French passports because they didn't require you to be a French national, were easier to get hold of and worked equally well.
Very much looks like a nicely done but nevertheless small subset of emacs org-mode for the web.

I'll stay with org-mode:
- I'm in emacs all day anyway.
- Much more feature rich: priorites, dates, coloration, etc.
- Full editing (duh) capabilities. Cut&paste to shuffle things around. Key combos for everything. Fingers never leave the keyboard.

Since I maintain the file in git I check it in and out from anywhere on any system. Full version history as well.

Still Workflowy is nicely done for what it is.
Chargebacks prevents merchants from using this fraudulently. Risk is always on the merchant when card isn't present.
Auto-formatters will make that less useful.
I'd compare it to Kronkite talking about the Vietnam War, if I had to pull out a quick example in relating it to network news. Kronkite was candid and honest and his manner might not have always been what the network wanted (they'd prefer some kind of ra ra America attitude), but it was his breaking character that made people pay attention.

I don't think anyone feels the same about any other anchor on TV right now, CNN, FOX, MSNBC, NBC, ABC, etc. I'm not saying Stewart is a journalist, him being able to sit on the fence like he does upsets guys on the networks, but he is effective with his hosting and I don't think he's doing anyone a disservice.
You have basically described the Zeus Lite editor. However it only runs on Windows :(
I'm confused.

The Taycan range is ~200 miles. The LR Model 3 is 310, or 325 depending on when in 2019 they did the run. How does a car with 50% more range per charge take more time? Perhaps the Taycan they used could take a 270kW download and the Tesla only 150kW? It charged faster?

Also, what is the calculus on optimal speed? Two factors substantially impact range on my Model 3: Speed and incline. Driving faster means stopping more often and 30 minutes of charge time at Cannonball speeds is going to be 45 miles lost. Gasoline pit stops could be under 10 minutes and much less impactful to optimum drive speed.

I'd like to see the details of the speed driven at and the pit stops made by both the Model 3 run in 2019 and the Taycan run in 2020.

It's not adding up.
Stateside, many interstates have minimum speeds listed.
> I'm really curious why some places...

Based on my experience of living in different countries, differences in behaviour and car culture are often underlined by hidden aspects of legislation which support those differences. I'm thinking more in terms of who is liable in the event of a crash, rather than the actual traffic rules.

>Some places the drivers are so polite to the point it really makes things dangerous

I think the danger you are talking about generally comes from the lack of anticipation and lack of meeting expectations, rather than the politeness.

If you shock a driver's expectations, that will at least appear dangerous, because they have to consciously react (or crash). A Bangkok-style driver in DC is dangerous, just as a DC-style driver in Bangkok is the dangerous one.
That means one-site-per-IP, which doesn't work with the way we currently do L3->L5.
It has already happened in Europe.
I think the big problem is people still care about this stuff. Car heads have always bragged about the speed of their vehicles, that’s not going to change just because electric cars are faster off the line.
It's really important to put the BENEFITS at the top. Do I really want to read all this just to find out what it does?

Then, I hope that nobody got convicted on the basis of such "accurate" informations...
"The iPhone is not logging your location. Rather, it’s maintaining a database of Wi-Fi hotspots and cell towers around your current location"

So, it's logging your rough location...
I am sure that lots of people discussed the story; but the original story that kicked it all pitched it as an "Apple is tracking you and the guys in black suits are using it to convict you of crimes" story.
Also check out the async library by caolan. Primarily designed for node.js, but also works with client-side.
https://github.com/caolan/async

It's got the nice feature of providing synchronous and asynchronous maps, reduces, filters and everything else you'd expect.
It seems to make its point pretty clearly to me: "just naysay" is a strategy that is extremely effective/accurate in many domains, but provides no actual value compared to people attempting more honest evaluations or predictions.

I just realized it's possible I'm being whooshed by your comment.
So between this and the free Square magstripe reader for Lighting port, you've got everything covered.

The only issue would be liability shift for a card that has EMV but doesn't have contactless and thus has to be processed as magstripe, but those cards are getting rarer as most issuers are replacing with NFC-enabled ones.
Better than most to be honest
Very interesting - thanks for the response!
Or security cameras.. or a drone..
I have been writing an imaginary Coen brothers in my head over the last couple of years based on absurd current events. This is definitely being added.

I'm thinking of tying them both in as friends of Lady Gaga, tasked with trying to pay the ransom to the people who kidnapped her dog in crypto. In the process, they accidentally stole too much.

Not physically, but the informational content and structure. Supposedly you get wiser and expert.

And in fact, this «putting to rest» thing is nonsense, unless somebody really believed that the brain gets younger with age. The real point is about how heavily or how little degeneration impacts proficiency.

Can I ask, how do you find work as a Freelancer? Generally I find a majority of companies are looking for FTE workers and often its hard to negotiate to work as a contractor/freelancer on a role that's advertised on a job board.
From what I understand his actual views aren't that horrible. But it's almost as if he goes out of his way to write things in the most provoking way possible.

Stallman is an activist, the kind of person that intentionally provokes outrage to make a point and bring issues to discussion.

The bizarre part of all this saga is that he's being attacked by exactly the same kind of people using his very same tactics. It's like some of those Godzilla vs Kong movies.

Honestly I don't find this funny. But I don't care about it either. I had not heard much about the FSF last decade.
reddit.com/r/math is one of the most helpful, interesting, and educating subreddits. Beginners and experts are treated alike with respect and encouragement. This particular thread exemplifies the sentiment.
Here's one thing I've never gotten about singularity folks: why the assumption that human ego / personality will persist into post-human evolution?

It's easy enough to buy into a reduction of the basic singularity tenants: a) that we'll understand and be able to model the brain at some point, and b) that at that point evolution can proceed on, well, non-evolutionary time scales.

But it's always seemed to me like that step will have a tragic quality to it as well: that's the day humans become just animals. I don't know why a post-human intelligence would feel a need to preserve human individuals or the human concept of self any more than we feel the need to preserve gerbil personalities.
"care, but don't care too much"

That's a very convenient thing to say, but the phrase "too much" is really a compacted way of saying "are much as the situation would call for in order to be successful, and no more," at which point you really have a circular definition. How do you succeed? Do what you need to to succeed.

In other words, if you want to do the right thing, you should do what is good and not what is bad. Also, we should elect the best representatives if we want our democracy to succeed. And here's some good dietary advice: everything in moderation, don't eat too much of anything.
It's called Reddit. Where the bacon have you been, man? Everybody knows that bacon narwhal narwhal bacon bacon goes great with Guile.

The goal of this research was not intended to prove any hypothesis, it was exploratory in nature, designed to show the differences in ranking correlations between results on Google vs. Bing. One might argue that the hypothesis being tested was "Google and Bing use very different ranking algorithms" and the results would suggest that differences certainly exist, but maybe be more subtle than what's generally assumed.

Of course, that statement only applies to the items looked at in the research. We don't, for example, know how the two engines may value different links differently.
For a moment, I thought he was talking about the game...

2 quick responses and then I'll bow out. First, nobody is told they're not allowed to attend church. In fact, people who are excommunicated from the Mormon church are in fact _encouraged_ to keep attending so that they can come back into what's called "full fellowship" of the church by changing their lives to meet the standards of the church.

Secondly, there is a distinction between being gay and having sex. Mormons, gay or straight, can't have sex outside of marriage. If a gay person has outside of marriage they are subject to the same discipline that a straight person who has sex outside of marriage would have. Some of my gay, believing Mormon friends are simply chaste. Some of my gay, believeing Mormon friends are in heterosexual marriages. They do this with the full knowledge of their spouses, and with no hope of becoming straight, just because they feel like it's the right thing for them.

Nobody is telling anybody they can't go to heaven or be a real Mormon unless they stop being gay. They're saying, "be chaste." I know that's a distinction that will probably be lost, but it's a real distinction, and a real requirement that all Mormons try to live up to when they're not married.

All that notwithstanding, I assure you I'm not lying about my gay Mormon friends, if you're ever in the Salt Lake area look me up, I'm sure they'd love to meet you :) One of them is always looking for good hackers for various projects.
So you would rather they stopped trying to innovate and implement new features on the B E T A version because it doesn't play youtube FOR YOU? Mozilla's priorities are right where they should be, on adding features and fixing bugs. The fact that you found a bug should be reported. But who gave you the right to tell people what their priorities should be just because they don't fit your agenda?

If you want to watch youtube videos or have a multitude of extensions at your disposal, why would you try a beta version of the software when the stable version suits you just fine? How about if you stop being a smart aleck and contribute by reporting your bugs, just make sure your not being obnoxious about it as you're being now.
I didn't say that all patent applications are for protection.
