Most men and women use Tinder for hooking up. It's my experience that even women that say they are interested in a "serious relationship" are actually quite interested in the opposite. Because there's probably some stigma associated with women simply enjoying casual sex.
"The HTML5 one is superior in almost every way"

Not it isn't. The flash player is actually superior in almost every way. And like you, I won't provide any data to back that opinion up. I'll just use the word "almost" to give me some room in case someone jumps in with actual data.

I tried html5 on youtube for a week while scaling is nice (the video size increases for window/resolution size), the quality is very poor the same video with same 480p in flash much clear. Though I don't like flash because it crashes many times it is the only way to watch clear 360p or 480p video. Also flash detects 480p as default for my 8 mb internet connection whereas HTML5 will choose 240p now and then. Also you tube menu (choose xxxP or annotation on/off) is inverted L for any thing with sub menus whereas flash is strait oneclick. The other the lightswitch plugin does not work properly with html5 . so I will flash stays as it is only way for me to watch good quality video.

So, Netflix is ditching anti-virus in favor of a software that was certified as doing what any other anti-virus can do.

How is that "ditching anti-virus", then? Wouldn't a better title be "Netflix is switching anti-virus providers"?
I'd like to know more about what it's doing and how it works. I can imagine a couple scenarios:

1) It might have a "baseline" time during which it allows and records everything, and then locks down anything outside of that (like the old ZoneAlarm did for firewalls).

2) Or it might only lock down certain APIs? File and registry and network access? Not sure where you'd stop with that. What about when it emails everyone in Outlook?

Unless I'm completely off base.
I didn't say they use OpenGL, the WebGL implementation on Windows is trickey since there is no OpenGL mini driver so native support is implemented a bit differently it's only matters who does the translation (GPU driver, vs Browser).

Also are you sure they still use ANGLE by default? Both Chrome and FF had the ability to enable native support years ago using –use-gl=desktop for Chrome or webgl.prefer-native-gl for FF, 2-3 years ago that was the only way of getting any reasonable performance out of them..

But even with ANGLE, WebGL feature implementation is still not consistent across hardware and drivers (Graphic drivers treat DX like one would treat a 5 year old, they'll hear it and do what they want ;)) from even a single vendor yet alone across the 3 desktop and 3-4 mobile GPU vendors.

A more nuanced title would be: "To continue its fight against new viruses, Netflix is dumping classical disk-scanning-fingerprints software for newer technologies such as statistical analysis of anomalies."

Netflix and whoever they hire (e.g. SentinelOne) is still fighting viruses. They're just doing it using more sophisticated algorithms instead of fingerprints. Traditional anti-virus software trying to match file signatures is not effective against 0-day attacks.

What's newsworthy is that a vendor was able to convince important people (e.g. AV-TEST Institute) that algorithms scanning for anomalies is equivalent to, or stronger than, traditional disk-scanning. However, it doesn't look like they've convinced the credit-card industry yet. They're the ones who determine PCI DSS compliance. However, PCI DSS may not apply to Netflix.

Interpreting the story as an ongoing progression of anti-virus technology, it means the industry won't "die" at all. They're just retooling themselves with more algorithmic approaches. Maybe Symantec will add algorithms and also be included in the changing industry of fighting viruses.
> If humans are being replaced with computers, then there will be need for fewer managers, supervisors etc. This would cause a decline in demand for people with "human skills" also.

Here's my answer to this paradox. The humans vs machines is just another "good old boys club". Of course humans don't want to relinquish control and be managed by machines, they are not silly. So they create another layer of "soft skills" which prevents from machines (or people who understand them) taking over.

Take a high-frequency trading company as an analog. The job is done by computers and technicians running them. Still, the CEO and investors into this are probably better paid than those technicians, and make all the important decisions. (In fact, today you could probably create a completely self-managed HFT company that would just put all the profit into hiring more technicians who manage its algorithms.)

And I think this was always the case in human history (although not against machines, just against other social groups); and many technical people here seem to be in denial of this reality. What we can do though is to attempt to change this, but it will require political, not technological, solutions (that is people skills).

Very annoying when the source to the real report that is being discussed is not included. So here it is, in Spanish [pdf]: http://www.unodc.org/documents/bolivia/Informe_Monitoreo_Coc.... I don't speak Spanish so I have not read this report.

According to [1]:

“It’s not only about making money off a crop. In the old fashioned alternative development approach, we substitute one illicit crop for a licit crop. It’s about a more comprehensive approach that includes access to essential services like schools, hospitals, and roads in areas that traditionally have been hard to reach,”

and another citation, from the original UN report press release [2]:

"the importance of comprehensive, participative and long-term development programmes, as essential elements to ensure a sustained reduction of illicit crops."

I am by far an expert in this area, but I think kicking out the DEA allowed Bolivia to shift efforts from violent, top down (US orchestrated) repression to:

* Giving farmers incentives to shift to other crops: do not let coca be the only way of sustaining the farmers family

* Still allow coca growing for traditional usage (chewed, in tea, or as a natural analgesic)

* Bottom up: work together with coca unions and farmers to understand the incentives that drive farmers to chose coca in the first place

* Probably many more things I am not aware of

> I'm extremely excited about posts/libraries like these. They really show off the unique powers of Rust in a way that's a bit more compelling than "Rust is just C++14 with a bit stronger guarantees and more clean semantics."

Maybe I'm just too used to C and see it everywhere, but in this specific case, I don't really see the the "unique powers of Rust". Personally I find that perfectly alright - there's only few people that actuall will (and can) write correct lock free code, and as long as that lock free code can easily and seamlessly be integrated into the rest of the environment.

In general anti-virus is more useful for less educated users. For example, I'd never escalate (sudo, UAC, etc.) a process that I wouldn't expect to need the escalation. This severely limits the control a virus can take (stopping most in their tracks). The only people who really need AV are the type of idiots who run as root, or turn off UAC.

The real concern are advanced worms. Most of these would likely infect a machine regardless of the presence of an AV, either because they are zero-day or because a machine does not have security patches installed. AVs, typically, would struggle to catch an e.g. malicious BIOS flash resulting from an escalation vulnerability.

In the face of security patching, AVs are largely obsolete, irrespective of their detection rates: not 'completely' because human error does exist (which is why I still run one).

That's like spam. Pick your best idea and apply with that, if that does not get in then you need a better one or a better team. It's up to you to pick your best idea, not up to YC, after all it's not as if you're going to be executing on all of your ideas at once and the YC crew has too little time during the evaluation of all the applications as it is.

If they'd allow someone to monopolize the pipeline it would be grossly unfair to those that do apply with just the one idea that they ideally would be executing on regardless of whether or not YC accepts them.
Education isn't only for children, I was thinking more of adults/teens anyways since I don't think kids would get the whole MOOC system. Maybe they would though. And again this wouldn't be a complete replacement for established government, at least not at first, more like a form of protest with benefits.

With enough people voting within this digital society against things like telecoms spying and secret police powers, it would create a sort of citizen lobby group that may have an actual effect on politicians. With enough "critical mass" they would have no choice but to listen and respond.

I'm pretty sure all of the recent polls since before it was passed were mostly against C-51. I'm sure if there was a type of referendum it would've been squashed (like it should've been).

I'm also very interested in your last point's idea.

I haven't used Tinder but I've watched as my friends use it. The other problem with these dating apps and sites is people like or are merely confused about what they want. For someone to positively answer the question "would you sleep with someone on the first date?" but then put that they want a long-term relationship - these things seem counter to each other, imho. Both sexes need to be able to say it straight out that they just want sex, then there needs to be a filter to remove these people for the LTR dating pool users. Instead it's "if I can have sex, then the LTR can wait til someone else comes along". That being said, there is a question on OKC that asks how long one would wait before having sex (ex, 3-5 dates, etc). They could make this question have much, much more weight.

> I think a key property of RCU as traditionally presented is that writers always wait for global quiescence directly after their write, and then immediately delete the garbage.

A rather common, in my opinion, way to use something like rcu is to delay freeing (or reusing) memory to the next grace period, without blocking until then. E.g. in the kernel you can use kfree_rcu(..); instead of synchronize_rcu(); kfree(..); for that. That's basically what the epoch based approach does with a the lists of to-be-freed allocations.
Yes from the answers it seems it is recursion, as long as you stretch the definition of recursion to mean making subroutine calls, or code that can be refactored into a recursive solution.

By these definitions, all but the most trivial code is recursive.

The DEA are confrontational, destructive and foreign. They're the colonial police looking out for America's interest, not Bolivia's. This means they're going to be widely hated, even by people who might otherwise support their aims. So hated, in fact, that a political movement started against them and got elected: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Movement_for_Socialism_%28Boli...

The coca reduction that's actually happening is based on replacing coca growing with other forms of agriculture in cooperation with the farmers.

Coca leaf is unlikely to be eliminated entirely as it's an effective traditional medication for dealing with altitude sickness (much of Bolivia is at high altitude, including La Paz at 13400ft). So again Bolivians are never going to support its 100% eradication.

The exported product is purified cocaine hydrochloride, not the leaf.
I'm on the ground here in China. Uber's used their tactic of going head-on against government and regulation when they started out here, and it didn't work. I think they underestimated the speed and ferocity of local competitors, and didn't put enough emphasis on the political savvy needed to get popular and government support. They've recently made some well-connected hires and partnered with some powerful allies like their investors here, but they are now playing catchup. I'd also be concerned that their connections are of the mercenary type, and would be less likely to take up Uber's cause at the expense of heightened political risk, if it came down to it.

We didn't practice the throat ripping at all, obviously (except maybe feeling the spot behind the throat where you need to put your fingers), but the whip technique was really the standard strike. Only we did it to the stomach rather than the eye. But it's hard to tell whether your technique is any good, and aim is completely irrelevant. Maybe you could combine this with aiming at an eye-sized target? But it's always going to be a very crude approximation of the real thing.

Same thing with medieval fencing: injury is a big part of sword fighting, but you don't want to do that in real life, so you use blunt swords and lots of protection, so you have no idea whether your strike to the wrist would have been ineffective or would have chopped off the hand. And because protection is never perfect, you also train not to hit too hard, which is the exact opposite of what you'd want to do in reality.

polygons!

edit: got to level 10 with this approach before giving up. basically, bound the ball into an area towards the goal as soon as it gets there by enclosing it in a polygon. as long as you keep getting it closer, you eventually get it into a polygon with the target - it works out. It will even pretty much guarantee the ball eventually goes through small gaps it needs to to pass through one polygon to another

> As I note in my book, today’s lopsided gender ratios “add up to sexual nirvana for heterosexual men, but for heterosexual women — especially those who put a high priority on getting married and having children in wedlock — they represent a demographic time bomb.”

What kind of sexist crap is this? The problem for men in such an environment, is that a lot of women start to accept the sex object treatment they get, and hence aren't really the people you would want to be with for a long term.

Generalising a gender as only driven by dumb sex is sexist, even if that gender is male.
>I am arguing that the ratios are only skewed if they look in the places where the ratios are skewed.

well It's a US article and they give the sats for the US, as well as some major metropolitan areas. Where else should they be looking?

>The article makes an implicit assumption that girls don't want a fling and want marriage instead.

They do address this, for Silicon valley they show that in an area where the gender ratio favours women there are more marriages which are more stable. It's just one data point, but addresses your concern and this is an article not a study.
I find this post a bit disappointing.

The subject is exciting and I wish to learn more on
how to design an efficient and safe replication scheme
on top of two coordination protocols,
each with its core set of garanties and constraints.

The post gives a good overview of the trade-off between safety and performance
made with in-sync replicas (ISR) compared to quorum acknowledgement.

But it remains very vague on how to deal with the problem
stated in the "ZooKeeper and consensus" section:
being consistent does not mean that the values read [by two workers] are the same necessarily
but are only computed after consistent growing prefixes of the sequence of updates.
I totally fail to understand the way proposed to break the tie.

I would expect the schema better shows late replica and even late views of the ISR.
I would expect more evidences on how the system ensures a message produced to a consumer is never retracted.
Good point. I've toned down my comment because that root password would be getting typed in less often.

An attacker might still bring an evil-su in addition to an evil-sudo, though. And even if you're logging into that root user only in an another tty, it seems like an unnecessary risk to share the password with LUKS.

- much shorter stopping distances. This lets roads be "general access" in a way that rails have never been, even if you were to have a railway running past your house.
