There's a 25 MPH speed trap near me (no schools or anything nearby) that uses photo enforcement instead of actual police officers. It's basically an ATM for the tiny village of 179 residents. In 2013, they stopped 26 people for going too slow. Yes, too slow.

It's not about hacking; it's about threat modeling using a widespread and well-understood implementation that behaves similarly in many ways to a real threat. Basically, if your APT identification tech can't detect Google Chrome updates being pushed out over your network, you won't be able to detect real malicious actors. A true threat would act in a very similar way, except the payload would be more malicious than Chrome updates.

It's an interesting thought experiment; but no, there are no concrete conclusions.
> Every dollar spent on bombs is a dollar not spent on healthcare

The US spends more on healthcare -- measured in total, and per capita, and as share of GDP -- than any other OECD country, even though it and Mexico are the only OECD countries without universal healthcare. It spends more out of public funds on healthcare (again, by all three measures) than many OECD countries providing universal healthcare spend in total, while also spending more in private spending on healthcare than it does in public spending.

While the US spending about as much (a while ago it was a little more, right now I think its a hair less) as the rest of the world combined in military spending may be argued to limit resources for other activities, it is manifestly not meaningfully constraining health care spending.

I think you and I have different ideas of what absolute means.

Encryption protects infromation as long as A) the computation power, time and desire available to break your encryption does not exceed the level you encrypted, B) the underlying math principles on which the encryption was based do not see a change in some manner reducing the effectiveness of the algorithm for this task, or C) The implementation of the encryption algorithm did not suffer some flaw reducing it's effectiveness to the level if can be beaten.

I know A and C have happened in the past. I'm unsure whether B has occurred. It's worth noting that in the case of B or C, the strength you choose now may not have any effect on the outcome.

This is the bottom line. There is almost always more available, desperate labor out there than job opportunities, and with the advances of automation, this is more and more likely to be the case. Expect even shittier behavior from employers because they will increasingly be able to get away with it.
Right! Glad we could all find common ground.

I couldn't help but think that philosophically, Wittgenstein's idea that a proposition is a picture of the world appears to be a starting point for the paper's ideas. Even if scientific terms like "model" and "simulation" might be more palatable [perhaps due to less examination], all capture the idea of isomorphism between a representation and what it represents.
Microcenter.com occasionally has these crazy deals on AMD FX processors + motherboard bundles where the processor is heavily discounted and they give you $40 off a motherboard. This has let me build out several 8-core, 16GB DDR3 (expandable to 32GB usually) + case + smallish disk systems for crash and burn use for around $300.

I find the prospect of people making promises to people that we can assume that they love and being unable to keep those promises to be terrifying. If I believed that we weren't able to control our behavior and we were overrun with animalistic desire, I would kill myself. The same ideology is used to justify violence, rape, etc., and if I did not believe that these problems could be addressed or improved upon, I personally do not think life would be worth living.

The few fun games I've found, games like 80 Days, and a few others I can't think of right now I luckily stumbled across thankfully. It's a mixture of an absolutely terrible Appstore and all these IAP games on the top lists that makes them so hard to track down. I'd love it if Steam became an app store for mobile devices.
Your clarification and points are solid but the flow of events does seem to point the vindication towards the author. Given the many stories in this thread and elsewhere claiming similar cases, it would be reasonable to assume that her claims were justified.

If it weren't the case, Amazon should stand front and center to disarm it. I'm rather surprised that a company that has treated me exceptionally as a customer is not as concerned with repairing its rep as an employer as it seems to be.
No! A digital window is not a complex enough system. It would inevitably exist given the hardware allowance and capability to multi-task apps. It merely frames an application or any number of objects within the "parent window" which is your computer monitor.

Frames, boxes, panels, or "windows". A child could come up with the need for a digital version of a container if none existed. The name that catches on to describe that container is irrelevant.

In the digital world we need to be sensible about what would inevitably exist given the hardware allowance for such an obvious software feature. Slide to unlock is child's play.
The whole purpose of a judicial system is that blanket vigilantism based on "social contracts" is ineffective and prone to high margins of error. I understand that you do not share this belief and instead want to mold people around allegedly "prosocial" behavior, even if it's a legal contract outside your jurisdiction as a natural person. We will have to disagree and cut the argument here.

FL Route 301 is such a popular speed trap it is even mentioned on the wiki page.

Since US 301 is a popular short cut between Northeastern Florida and the Gulf Coast region, a number of towns along the road have been notorious speed traps. The speed limit drops from 65 mph to 30 mph in a matter of a few hundred feet. Many have accused the police in Waldo, Starke, Lawtey, and others of giving tickets simply to raise money.[3][4] The American Automobile Association has strongly advised motorists to avoid this stretch of the road.[5]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._Route_301_in_Florida#Ocal...
One thing to always remember is that a valuation is dependent on the terms. For instance I might pay $10,000 for 1% of the company if it's pure equity. But if you throw in terms like I get extra shares in the event of a down round. Then I might pay $20,000 for that same 1%. (I would also pay more if a board seat is included or I'm guaranteed the option to be in any future rounds.)

The valuation of the company is $2M with one set of terms, but only worth $1M with the other.

So just make sure that if you are getting paid based on valuations given to investors that you are getting the exact same terms the investors got.
> Not even most of the Democratic base will vote for a white male socialist in his 70's over Hillary,

Perhaps.

> and he has no chance of winning the general election even if he were nominated.

The national head-to-head polls I've seen that have included have him beating all the Republicans he is polled against (Trump, Bush, Walker, and Rubio), in some cases by wider margins than Clinton does in the same polls. That's not to say he would win the general if nominated, but I'd certainly expect more than mere assertion from someone who wanted me to accept their argument that he certainly would not do so.
Right now you're correct, we could just pass the functions. In the future, however, we'd like to extend the language so that you can call `remove` with a regex to make it easier to remove "groups" of functions (so that, every time you add a new function of a particular "group", you don't have go back to every spot where you remove things of that group and add another line).

There are a few other things we need to fix before we get there though, chief among those being memory use

That's actually mostly in line from what I've heard heard from other VCs. After 5-7 years, you expect half of your portfolio to be either out of business completely or "walking dead" (cash flow negative without enough traction to get positive before the end of the runway).

Though you do have a point; I would expect a higher failure rate from an accelerator given that they fund riskier ventures.

Uh...story time?
The data is out there. There was literally no way to stop it. Whether people find glee in it or not is entirely irrelevant, and this notion that if we all just held up our nose no privacy would be invaded is unreasonable.

And it's worth noting that the "pet moral value" that people seem the most outraged about is honesty, however much people try to load it with their own hangups. If this was a site for open marriages, tinder hookups, or anything of the sort, I doubt it would have gotten much attention at all. Instead it's a site for people a) lying to their partner, or b) lying to everyone else. Some of the most reported cases have been about raw hypocrisy.

This will absolutely make everyone pause when offering up data to third parties though, and really that couldn't come quickly enough. Whenever there is a password database dump, one of the things I've always found most remarkable are the number of people inconvenienced because they use the same password everywhere, trusting their life to every random service they used. Similarly, trusting critical, compromising data to some hookup app -- who have competencies and auditing and archiving that you have no notions about -- seems insane, but it has become an online norm. Breaches like this may make people more considerate of the value of their own data.
This is really cool. I'm a huge proponent of less mouse usage and this gets right to the point. Thanks Mixmax team!
The quote wasn't spoken eloquently but it was profound. He was speaking truth but it was also amazingly ironic. Why risk and assume so much about success in Iraq with the quagmire of obvious unknowns?
To all the down-voters:

Do you not think that solid data such as revenue, revenue growth and profit/loss (or at least burn rate) would be a much better measure of success? Some non-public companies (like Uber) publish some of these numbers.
Who knows, they might move toward a mega-app. Consider for a moment, though, that currently we're talking about Facebook Messenger, which is a huge, and fairly recent example of the exact opposite thing happening (it was part of Facebook, but pulled out into a separate app.)
So how do you remove the conflict of interest? They have every incentive to abuse these revenue (more like theft) streams and become dependent on them.

The Tools We Use
Some of the answers are wrong, or reveal only a shallow understanding of Python. For example:

> What is pickling and unpickling?

> Pickle module accepts any Python object and converts it into a string representation and dumps it into a file by using dump function, this process is called pickling. While the process of retrieving original Python objects from the stored string representation is called unpickling.

The first sentence is wrong. File objects, for example, cannot be pickled. Also, in Python3, which makes a stronger distinction between a 'string' and 'bytes', a pickle returns bytes, not a string. Also, the pickle module can pickle to/from bytes without touching a file.

For another example:

> How will you compare two lists?

> cmp(list1, list2) − Compares elements of both lists.

The answer is "list1 == list2", for most uses of 'compare'. The 'cmp' function is no longer part of Python, and its use was a bit tricky.

For a third:

> What are the rules for local and global variables in Python?

> If a variable is defined outside function then it is implicitly global. If variable is assigned new value inside the function means it is local.

This is not correct. Consider:

class Spam:
x = 5

The variable x is neither defined in a function nor is a global variable.

Looking through the answers, I would discourage people from using this site. It is better to read the Python documentation and FAQ.
There's a Chrome extension for it (and probably a Firefox one).
> Are you comfortable with a socialist leading a capitalist society?

The US isn't a capitalist society, and hasn't been even approximately for most of a century. Like most advanced Western countries, its a modern mixed economy, which features some elements of capitalism -- a system named by its nineteenth century socialist critics for its focus on the interest of the capital-holding class -- but also mixes in many elements of socialism specifically to mitigate the very problems with capitalism that were identified by the critics that named it. This model has -- in a process that, while it started earlier and never really ended, was focused in the early-to-mid-20th Century -- displaced capitalism as the dominant system of the advanced economies of the world.

I'm not sure why a socialist would be less appropriate a leader for a country with a modern mixed economy than a capitalist.
I think there's a big elephant in the room here. Companies usually take time to fail, especially with VC funding. The companies from the newer batches are going to be skewing those fail statistics. If you only look at companies from 4 years ago and older, you might get a more realistic impression.

It still won't be 90% though, but YC companies are widely known to not be representative. It's the highest profile accelerator, so it attracts the best talent. Just like people who graduate from Ivy League schools earn more on average, but mostly that's because they attract people who are above average to begin with.
This is a useful response not because I'll ask for the same terms as investors, but because I think that's a good negotiating tool to ask for more equity. I doubt they want to give me the same terms as their investors, nor do I want them because I'm not an angel investor, but that's a tangible way to state that the type of equity I'm awarded has less value and therefore should be calculated differently.

Workplace Violence by Ex-employees, is At-Will employment at fault (2002)?
I've tended to agree. Bitcoin is really just an early iteration of the cryptocurrency concept, and many of its "failures" are, in the long run, successes. This is why the "altcoin" ecosystem is so vital; they're doing a lot of the fundamental experimentation that's necessary for cryptocurrency in general to approach perfection.

Unfortunately, a lot of people fail to realize this, and champion Bitcoin specifically as the be-all-end-all of electronic money despite the sheer number of problems with it. This attitude, while understandable, is regrettable.
In my opinion, this whole paradigm shift is partly the result of a lack of trust in customer reviews. If customer reviews could be trusted to be authentic, people could look and see that the game is rated five stars and make their decision based on t trusted to be authentic, a lot of people would make their decision based on a game's rating. Instead, app developers have gamed the system by paying for reviews (e.g., the infamous 2008 case of one developer earning hundreds of thousands in a single month after paying Amazon Mechanical Turk users to download his app and rate it 5 stars, among many others), etc.

The result is an unwillingness from many consumers to risk more than a single dollar for a game. I, for one, used to pay up to $10 for good games (e.g., I've purchased all 3 N.O.V.A. editions for $7.99 or so), but these days I am reluctant to even spend a dollar on an app.

I really enjoyed this video as I am currently looking for programmers and coders. I am leaning towards female engineers as I am a proponent of diversity and that I want to produce gender neutral software for my market. My goal is to hire the "right" people who can objectively work together while also producing software that takes multiple points of view into its development.
Yeah, that got to me. I spent a good few minutes wondering whether I'd physically assault a police officer who was preventing my wife from getting to the hospital.
"Send it far, far away" might be enough. It was only after local police departments started getting a cut of civil asset forfeitures (they used to be sent to the FBI, I believe) that counties started abusing it.

There are surely other options too, such as spreading it out. You could fund a flat tax credit for all residents of the county with the fines. The wealth is not destroyed, and if the credit is on the order of a handful of dollars per resident, no one is going to have any strong incentives. You could vote to double all traffic fines- but if you personally stand to gain $3.72 from that doubling, the incentive exists but is very small.
The $120K is only since 2014:

https://blog.ycombinator.com/the-new-deal

From 2012-2014, YC companies received an automatic $85K follow-on investment from a syndicate of investors, though this was not funded by YC. From 2011-2012, they received an automatic $150K from Yuri Milner. From 2005-2011, it was $6K/founder (I think very early on, it was a flat $20K). So YC's capital expended has been a lot less over time than the current deal would reflect.
But that's hardly something unique to Germany then. Off the top of my head, the Netherlands, France, Belgium, Spain, UK, Germany, Denmark, and Finland all have their own set of national grocery store chains, with only very little cross-border movement (Aldi and Lidl are the big exceptions).
