Right. They don't. But they seem to think they can send de-auth packets that effectively say to third parties, "I am going to disconnect you from this network". That is at the least -implicitly- saying "I am claiming this SSID, and I am willing to use power/technology/tools to enforce this, whether you like it or not, whether I have the right to or not".

I never said the FCC was involved in enforcing trespass statutes. If there are people on your private property behaving in a way you deem unacceptable (even if legal), then the solution is to remove them from your property, not for you to illegally interfere with the use of the spectrum. That's vigilantism.

The Corp HQ example seems to work because there are clauses that surround intentional deception and the risk to security that could come there-from. When CorpHQSSID access points de-auth packets to an unauthorized access point using the same SSID.

That -wasn't- what was happening here. The convention center was saying "I don't care what your use of the wireless spectrum is, your hotspot, whatever, I'm going to interfere with it so that my SSID is the only one usable (oh, enter your credit card number here)".

Your contortion of logic, willful and disingenous ignorance of contradictions and interpretations don't change these facts. The issue was discussed many times, many lawyers were involved, and the outcome was decided - whether you think it should be or not (your perfect right), it -is- illegal.

I've always thought the two most important pieces of the book are:

1. Talk in terms of the other person’s interest.

2. Make people feel important.

And if you're Bill Gates, you've covered both of those things in spades simply by being Bill Gates and speaking to somebody.

Picking out extreme outliers like Elon Musk and Steve Ballmer and using them as primary examples of why Dale Carnegie is wrong is, to me, a very specious argument.

The book isn't for outliers, it's for everybody, and there are countless examples of this book having a profoundly beneficial impact on people's lives and how they relate to others, especially in a professional setting.
Yeah, but by giving more data you let software to personalize better. So by reducing your data exposure you are acting as techno-Luddite stiffing progress.

I don't think we will suddenly abandon the cloud. If anything, we will centralize even more information. My biggest philosophical debate is what will happen to people who deliberately protect their information. Surely they are meatier targets by various adversaries, but the thing that bugs me most is the fact that you will become irrelevant. Lack of data will impede even some most basic services and probably you won't be trusted because Big Cloud doesn't have your profile.
You say it's subjective and then the reason you give is that some people would, knowing that it's criminal, still commit a crime.

It looks like their view of the activity isn't that it's fine to do, rather that they don't care that it's not fine. This implies that they know and accept that it's not fine.
Funny that this article is hardly getting any attention, even though it highlights major problems with America's workplace culture (as opposed to a single company). I guess this article is too nuanced for any visceral reactions?

Great content? A survey asking people to give you a bunch of their personal information? I'd be willing to bet that it got flagged and that's why.
That's the opposite of what we want here. We want readers to make up their own minds.

But they need enough information to make up their minds. That's what I'm trying to say here. Editorialising is NOT some universally bad thing, nor is it synonymous with "spin". If a title is something useless like "Some interesting results" then it absolutely should be editorialised, or annotated to show that it's "interesting results" in quantum mechanics, vs., content marketing, or cat-picture hosting.

All I'm saying is, not all original titles are good, and some edits serve a valuable purpose and should be allowed.
Interview with Neil Sloane, Creator of Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences
Right. Edited. Thanks!
Yes, you can always choose any hypothesis you want. It's largely irrelevant.

Every experiment will support analysis through a set of hypotheses. Just because you didn't select all of those hypotheses before the experiment ran doesn't mean you can't select it after the experiment.

Imagine that an experiment has been run, but you do not know the results (or even what was done). Now you select a hypothesis, if the experiment required to validate the hypothesis is the same as what was run previously, you can now look at and use the results.

A hypothesis is like running a query against a database. Many queries are valid, even though the data may not have changed.

>Otherwise, why are you re-running it?

Science requires it. Doctrine from one-off experimentation is religion (hard to dump).
If your design is a Single Page WebApp + Backend API I would recommend you to take a look at The Falcon Framework ( http://falconframework.org/ ).

- it certainly integrates with SQLAlchemy
- it's a small codebase you can navigate quickly
- it's a Rackspace community project
- it's fast and well tested

Flask is also a good choice since it's popularity ( which leads to lots of plugins and a more stable code).
It is not the context, but that context could help explain the lack of R&D at those segments.
Merging cloud tech (automatic redundancy, intelligence) with P2P tech and giving the user full control is what is needed.

Secure smart home servers that act as rendezvous servers for your end-to-end encrypted connections so you have smooth links and network switching, routing, file hosting for your privately shared media (using tech like Tahoe-LAFS), anonymization (why run multiple Tor/I2P clients in a network when you can have one trusted device do it?), simple access control so you can easily determine to gets to connect to your home automation hardware, etc...

So perhaps it's worthwhile to trot out the idea of exploratory vs. confirmatory research.

In exploratory research you collect a bunch of data, and then mine it for interesting associations that might merit further study. It's an essential part of the scientific process, but anything you find from doing it needs to be treated as extremely tentative because it's liable to produce spurious results at least as often as it finds genuine effects.

But that's not what this paper's talking about. It's talking about experiments that are being used to support the approval of new treatments and drugs. That's confirmatory research. In that realm you absolutely must paint the target on the wall before you throw your darts.
This then assumes that authentication is handled by some combination of device proximity, physically pushing a "grant admin access" button on the device, or falling back to password management (possibly on a sticker on the bottom of the device).

There is something to be said for tying the device into an existing strong authentication infrastructure.
What are you referring to you when you talk about politically-based censorship? I was increasingly turned off by the growing racism, misogyny, and hate that I saw daily on Reddit, and am quite happy to see many of the most disgusting subreddits finally done away with. I suspect that for every free-speech absolutist worried about Reddit refusing to sanction such vitriol there are many more that will be happy to find a more inclusive, welcoming Reddit. I know I'm one of the latter.

The FCC went out of their way to clarify that security concerns (of which exfiltration of corp data is one) were an issue, quoting the article:

> No evidence exists that the Wi-Fi blocking occurred in response to a specific security threat to Smart City’s network or the users of its network.

A corporate network could probably meet that hurdle, it's not clear however they'd get away with it if it also shut down the neighbor's wifi...

Your post is still there, so no "great content" got "deleted". HN rankings are quite volatile (looking at the ranking history, two other posts made similar falls in the last 3 hours alone).

If users flag your post, that also gives it a strong bump downwards.

If you want to make sure message the mods (contact link in the footer), but I bet the answer is going to be that this was the algorithm normally working or maybe a spam filter triggering.
Hey, I just remembered, I've got two of the original Cybikos, bought new (while being sold off at a ridiculously low price -- about £10 each), sitting in my junk room! Never opened, still in the original packaging.

Hmm, decisions. Do I open them up and see if they work, or so I stick them on eBay?

You don't need me to tell you you're a tremendous bad-ass, and I'm sure everyone was helpful and meant well, but if Y Combinator is truly trying to be inclusive they should've been more proactive here. I'm sort of shocked that at the most prestigious and successful incubator in the country, no one even seems to have even asked the admitted founders about any additional responsibilities they might have like child or elder care.

Sequencing doesn't matter. It's getting the inbreds that matter. It's all in the article, but probably not so clear if you lack the background.

Getting a bag of GMO corn seed is not difficult. But reproducing said seed to the same level of quality is going to take you many years. It's a bit like trying to get a clone of yourself by having children with women: The kids will be a lot like you genetically, but it'll take you forever to make a clone.

So how do agricultural companies do this? By building special inbred varieties that have he same genotype as phenotype. All the offspring of crossing any specific pair of inbreds will be identical, and those are the offspring that you can buy at the store. The inbreds, who are also worse performing in the field, not so much: They are seen as trade secrets, and the companies just use them for research and manufacturing.

So it's not really about hiding the genetics of something you sell, or even hiding the genetics of something you use to create what you sell(which would still have some value, but still), but protecting the seeds of specific plants that are necessary to the manufacturing process.

If you give some corn breeders an entire bag of hybrid corn, and tell them to produce 1000 bags just like it, they'll ask you to come back in a decade or two. If you give them a bag of each of the inbreds that were use to make it,they will have the 1000 bags in a season. That's what agricultural companies try to protect.
IMO this level of threat detection is not that useful anymore, detection needs to occur closer to the kernel level per machine
All your food is owned and locked up by major corporations under patent law, for profit purposes which are protected and in league with the government. I have a moral problem with it. Yeah it doesn't really impact me but it impacts poor Mexican farmers and a lot of people in the 3rd world.
> These are extremely competitive industries, doing cutting edge science, with the goal of feeding and/or healing humans. How downright evil of them.

There's this idea that certain classes of activity are "too important" for profit-motive to be allowed. Education, healthcare, science, and agriculture usually fall in the line of fire. These people cheer on the companies that make their money in advertising or solving first world problems and demonize those that work on the capital-intensive problems in healthcare, science, or agriculture. Then they loudly complain about how the best of the best are going into the wrong lines of work. It's bonkers.

Moral tale: my brother was at the top of his class at an Ivy-league school and got his degree in physics. He did lab research on nanotechnology since high school. He seriously considered getting his PhD in physics. I counseled him to go to Wall Street instead, which he did. Now he makes a bunch of money and couldn't be happier.

What's my point? Getting a PhD in a hard science should be a license to print money like going into advertising or finance. Until that's true, you're not going to get the allocation of social resources you want. And government research isn't a solution to that. You'll never make a bunch of money working for the government. And if e.g. the government lets people keep the patents on research that's initially publicly-funded, so they can make a bunch of money on the endeavor, then the aforementioned people will demonize that as evil.
> This casts doubt on the pre-registry studies.

I think you mean, 'This casts doubt on the non-registered studies'.
I'd wager that whatever they're doing, it's far more reliable than reading out English letters and doing speech recognition on it. Accomplishing the key exchange might not have been reliable in all browsers.
So it takes an active step by the farmer who is sowing seeds he/she has reason to know are protected.
Everyone knows what the problem is. It is not that the drugs don't work (well most of them), it is that they only work for a small subset of people. It is possible these days to figure out which drugs work for which patients, but doing this makes the drug non-viable commercially. We are stuck with a system where the way a drug is tested is totally different to the way it will be used in practice - a drug has to work in a large percentage of people in the trial, while once improved it just becomes another drug through which people get cycled while their doctor tries to figure out which one works for the individual.
The most important process is acquiring evidence. You either have evidence or you don't. It's an observation more than anything.

Though if observing what you know counts as thought, then sure (but I'd still rather reserve the term "thought process" for more difficult problems).
You don't _NEED_ the GPS tricks and all, and realistically you can replace some of the HLC code in Cockroach with a time network time server implementation that speaks to GPS / Atomic clocks, if you want.
Storyboard Reference, Strong IBOutlet, and Scene Dock
Those are ways of looking at it, but experiments have definite structures and that structure can be exploited to create experiments that potentially reveal more information than another experiment.

If the experiment is constructed correctly, it can support validation of multiple hypotheses.

I would completely believe that most experimentation being performed currently is not structured to make further exploitation possible.

We don't need protection of these to help the world food security, the research could be publicly funded (and a lot of it is already) and publicly distributed. Of course then nobody makes a profit off owning the seed but that's not really necessary. It could just benefit everyone.

Ok, yes they will sue when a farmer willingly and deliberately uses cross pollinate seeds. I see nothing controversial there though.
Spotify already tracks user listening history. I can see a "Recently Played Artists" section on my profile, and I assume they're using some of it to generate the user-specific "Discover Weekly" recommended music playlists.

The "active" step is simply keeping the seeds from the plants you sowed on your land with your own seeds that survived the herbicides. Schmeiser claims that he was doing breeding of his own seeds for 50 years. Why shouldn't he?

My primary complaint with the article is that it makes the implicit connection that "critical thinking" is something that tied to science.

Good science needs critical thinking, true. Dealing with life ALSO needs critical thinking, and I suspect that's a more direct impact to the average person. (Witness your most/least favorite political discussion, see any bit of TV news, heck, the recent Amazon brouhaha, and see what people not having enough critical thinking does to life)

College is quite late to try and teach* the skill, but better late than never.

I can think of only one class I ever had that I felt covered critical thinking. It was a junior high school home ec class, and for one single class period, they passed out magazines, had us pick out ads, and then list at least 5 ways these ads manipulated us. Turns out 5 is a significant number: to say wealth, sex, and happiness feature in the ads is easy...but 4 & 5? That requires thought. Thought about how we are being misled, how there is something non-obvious but true. To this day one of the lessons sticks in my mind. "Bayer: 4 out of 5 doctors recommend" But who picks the 5 doctors? It was mind-blowing to young me, and I think it filters in to how I consider information I'm getting to this day.

*Teaching critical thinking isn't really teaching, so much as repeatedly providing the opportunity and motivation and hoping for the lights to turn on. It's the best system we've got, and we don't do it enough, but I'll acknowledge that it is harder than teaching a more passive, observable skill.
We could let workers unionize and work out an agreeable private contract between their union and employer when it comes to compensation for jobs eliminated by machines. That option has left the table because of the violence, deaths and laws passed against workers and unions in the past.

Or we could do what's worked reasonably well at keeping people from dying in the streets and enact social programs through taxes.

Wealth accumulation to the extreme that it is today wouldn't be possible if not for the centuries of intentional enclosure of land, subsequent displacement of people, violence against workers looking for just compensation/treatment and political/legal/economic disenfranchisement of organized labor. This still happens today in the form of Right To Work legislation and in less luxurious industries and places.

Yet anything that can be couched as "redistribution" is deemed wrong and unfair.

Advocating against censorship and arguing against banning subreddits is not equivalent to supporting those subreddits. Basic, undergraduate-level logic.

The fact is that there are plenty of hateful subreddits explicitly supported by admins and mods (e.g., SRS) but the hate is pointed in the 'right' direction (i.e., +SJW).

And the point of the above is that there is clearly bias shaping the site's content from the very top. This stands in direct contradiction to the founders statements years ago about creating a "bastion of free speech".
