> non-consensual, large-scale SSL MITM

Link to this? The story was that they issued it to some v Egyptian company that wanted to run a CA. This company was incompetent and didn't have an HSM. They did have a Palo Alto MITM box that had "CA capabilities", so they used that. Then an engineer at this company plugged his machine into the MITM port, loaded Chrome and tada.

Utterly incompetent and against the CA rules. But not large scale or non-consenual MITM right?
no, the benefit of nosql, at least for data science, is scalability. ie what do you do when you can't fit the data on a single machine. This works great at a former employer, who really did have pb scale datasets. The vast vast majority of companies do not have pb scale datasets. Most don't have tb datasets.

as for what do you do, postgres / mysql; pandas /R; or roll your own code depending on precisely what you need. But you can rack a pretty beefy box with 256g ram in it, 2 xeons, and a ton of ssd + spindle disk for $10k. Nothing that nosql or hadoop or spark do can't be done easier, written way faster, executed faster, and kept running more easily on a single box or even better in a single process.

For example: at my current gig, I work on 20-40g raw datasets. Ingest to pandas and externalize user agent strings drops it to 5g or so. That process takes 30 to 60 minutes, but I do it once, cache the results, and update incrementally.
I understand it that E&Y's priorities are not with successfully educated candidates.

Who can easily get onto degree courses (but may not be successful there), and then easily be coached through online tests? One type of person: rich people with connections.
In aarch64, the bitwise operation immediates are a bit more complicated. From the documentation

Is the bitmask immediate. Such an immediate is a 32-bit or 64-bit pattern viewed as a vector of identical elements of size e = 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, or 64 bits. Each element contains the same sub-pattern: a single run of 1 to e-1 non-zero bits, rotated by 0 to e-1 bits. This mechanism can generate 5,334 unique 64-bit patterns (as 2,667 pairs of pattern and their bitwise inverse). Because the all-zeros and all-ones values cannot be described in this way, the assembler generates an error message.

I feel like I have a vague memory of a single byte being repeated with some specific pattern for some instruction, but I can't find it anymore.
You don't sound particularly impressed. Despite you're misgivings about the rookies, these firms have effectively rolled the old master & apprentice system forward into the 21st century.

The billing machine you mention is also not quite right. In practice the vast majority of the fees negotiated up front (often on tender basis) & driven by hours only on paper. So effectively the Big 4 firm loses money if there are freeloader rookies on board (revenue stays the same, staff costs go up).
It is interesting to compare this to the conjectured "Glass Cliff"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glass_cliff

The claim is that women CEOs are likely to get hired at failing companies. Personally I bought Lucent stock and had it go down $1000 in value the next day because of an earnings statement under Carly Fioria and then later things went badly at HP under her shift.

Oddly enough, Meg Whitman presided over ebay's long decline, and then took Carly's old job. It's so amazing how small the talent pool seems to be in the U.S.
That's the beauty of micro-service architectures. You don't have a single monolithic point of failure, you have dozens of smaller ones.
The Glass Cliff
The thing about flat structures and group dynamics is that if nobody is appointed to be team lead, then an informal leader will be chosen.

This is a well researched fact. The flat structure without a leader normally leads to a official goal of the group (finishing the task) and an unspoken unofficial goal that the unofficial leader is setting by example and retoric.

Everyone needs someone to follow on a team, someone who sets the standard, leads the way and defend the team - even in the most flat structured companies I have encountered this has been true.

If you want a methodology/way to run the team as fair and autonomous as possible, read Daniel Pink's book Drive - it explains what is needed to make people happy in their work.

If you do not want to figure your method out by yourself, steal my method called TimeBlock, it empowers the employees and gives them Purpose, Autonomy and Mastery (ping me if you want one on one help with it)

@tsotha made two unrelated points initially:

- given the method used, it might have been farmers rather than poachers, and I agree with him, I though of it as well.

- elephants are stupid, which I disagree with.

This subthread was dedicated to the first one until you brought up the second.
I was prepared to be skeptical but this is actually pretty cool. The thing that's never discussed, however, is that these demonstrations always require fast, accurate, and external motion capture systems (Vicon, etc), and wouldn't work outdoors. I'm not aware of anything that is currently available that will get close to this level of speed and accuracy for vehicle state estimation, which will make it very difficult to apply these techniques in real world situations.

Very cool proof of concept though.
Thank you, I fixed that. In my head I knew a REX prefix was necessary and thought it was sufficient, but i386 has shortcuts to load an immediate into a register that are not available in 64 bits version!

Thanks for mentioning that.

Read "Peopleware". Seriously, every page was written with you in mind.

Next, if you (as developers naturally do) struggle with the idea of management, structure and order, read "The E-Myth Revisited".

Peopleware TL;DR: Good teams are united by a strongly defined purpose (eg. get X defined and tests written by date X), and that is almost NEVER the same as the goals of the business (which is to make money). Don't create internal competition; overtime kills productivity; physical/mental space allows creativity; interruptions are deadly.

The E-Myth TL;DR: Aimed at small business owners, but as a team lead you're effectively running a business, and the rest of the company is your customer. It's a mere 5 hour read... JFDI :)

And if you're feeling really bookish, "The Mythical Man Month" - if you're under 50 this will shock you, because you'll realise that software in 1970 had the exact same problems that we do in 2015.
This is very true of graduate school vs not, but I'm not so sure about undergrad. A few points:

I stopped going to school after undergrad and started working, while most of my friends went and did grad school. When they graduated I was already ahead of the salaries they were being offered and had 5 years of experience. I'd also been earning twice as much as them for those five years and had considerable savings.

Also, I've hired people who never went to college. They were fairly qualified but what I found was odd gaps in their knowledge. They could write good code but then didn't know anything about say bayesian probability, so I would have to design the software for them which they could then code. They could certainly learn about bayesian probability, but the problem was they didn't even know it existed so they were pursuing a terrible solution to the problem that had a well known and simpler solution, until someone who went to college came and informed them. Perhaps the same applies to those who went to grad school, but I've never found that to be the case in practice.

I don't know much about monopolies, but, didn't Microsoft get in trouble for creating one? Also, back in the days of trustbusting were there not penalties for such actions? Is it in anyway against the law to do what they did? I can't answer these questions... but what the eye of the press can do is look deep into all of his practices and if there is anything illegal going on it my get noticed far quicker.
There was the alt.relgion.scientology wave and then anonymous got involved after that batshit crazy Tom Cruise video got leaked on Youtube and the church tried to hide it.

One trouble with the church is their idea of of "ethics" is that when you are in trouble with the church you need to "Deliver an effective blow to the enemies of the group one has been pretending to be part of despite personal danger."

This is like if you work at a pizza restaurant and you come in late for work or if you don't sell as many pizzas as you did last week you are expected to firebomb a competing pizza restaurant.

Glad to hear you're happy with your education in France. But...

First: The article is about the U.K., not the U.S., so I'm not sure why you're bemoaning the state of U.S. education here.

Second:

>I come from France, I had a better education than you can get probably anywhere in the world (I went to les Mines de Paris, roughly equivalent to the top 10% of MIT), and EVERYTHING, since I was 5 years old, was free and based on merit. This leads to people with degrees actually being much more performant in the workplace. I am 100% sure this study would have opposite results in France, as it is very easy to look at what the alumni of my school go to become.

This is not very persuasive. One could run the same line of argument about American (or Chinese, or British, etc.) universities, since in the U.S., like France and most other places, it remains the case that college graduates earn much more than their peers without college education, and even more so (sometimes dramatically) at elite universities.

But apparently this just doesn't necessarily translate into success at Ernst & Young.
Depends if the jobs you can get offer experience that will take you where you want to go.

In some companies it might be possible to start out in the mail room and end up as the CEO. But if you spend six years in the mail room and you're still in the mail room, you're probably not at that type of company.
Enough bad PR can mean things like congressional investigations and eventually even regulation.
Degrees are the most useful for immigration purposes I've found. It lets you have an ability to work in many places in the world.

But that is bureaucratic requirements more than any specific merit about the degree, where you get your degree or how much you spend on your degree, time or money.
I unfortunately don't remember where I heard this (maybe in the Freakonomics episode "Is college really worth it?" [1]), but 6 years of college clearly beat 6 years of experience.

Also: getting 6 years of relevant work experience is (way) harder if you don't have a college degree in the first place... The famous "you need professional experience to get a job, you need a job to get professional experience".

Feels like HN when I am high
Depends very much on the course, I think, and the university. I was the only kid from my high school applying to Cambridge, and what prep they gave me was quite misguided, but I don't think it's possible to fake the process (in-person, test with ten hard problems (not requiring any knowledge outside the standard high school course, just more problem-solving ability) where you're not expected to solve more than two or three, then discussing them with your interviewers). I felt like there was some of what you describe with the people I met in humanities courses (of course you can attribute some of that to STEM snobbery), but on the side I saw, once you applied (and sure, I suspect there are people with the ability but without the wealth or connections who are too intimidated to apply), they wanted the best, and I'm sure they got them.

You can't park one of these anywhere near an urban area with jobs. They do nothing to alleviate housing affordability. In semi-rural areas without jobs housing is already dirt cheap, so they're of little practical use there either.

Yes, but there are two problems:

1) You can't guarantee they are real. The upside of buying drugs in the US is that if you get fake pills, it is a huge deal and people get sued out of business for this. Rite Aid (A national drugstore chain) got caught shorting the pill count in prescriptions and they got into big trouble.

2) The Department of Homeland Security will open packages from companies that they suspect are selling medicines from abroad and shipping to the US and impound the pills. The odds are good that you won't get caught, but if you do, it can become a real hassle.
I have personal though anecdotal evidence that just watching it has an injurious effect.

Thanks for that. But for some reason both that and the save comments seems incomplete. Hard to believe those are all of the stories I upvoted I upvote everything I read typically and upvote (from memory) more comments then "saved comments" indicates. Also "saved" should be "upvoted".
Its sort of crazy that this style of living isn't allowed by many local ordinances. There are tons of folks who could put these up as guest houses or detached offices and be super happy with them. Hell put one up and stick your obnoxious teen ager in it.

To your point they do seem pretty expensive. If you were building in your area what is the price per sq/ft. I understand that it is a terrible metric, but it is the only one that I can think of.

I listened to an interview with Joel Spolsky from 2011.
He made some interesting points about this.
If you have 3 people you have 3 lines of one to one communications.
If you have 4 developers you have 6 lines and it starts getting difficult
So what he prefers is to have one person responsible for all communications.
Everyone communicates through this person and by the time that person has 5 developers to communicate with it's a full time job.
Have each person go out and interview for another job once a year. Match their best offer if you think they're worth it, or don't and let them go be happy elsewhere.

This was basically what we did at Netflix, but since there were a lot of people not everyone had to interview. We had a pretty good idea of what everyone could get elsewhere and then we just paid them that much.

But we were all encouraged to interview elsewhere to learn our personal market and find out if there were other jobs out that that we would like more. It wasn't good for anyone to have you stick around doing a job you don't love.
Your comment flabbergasts me. Any industrial designer or architect practicing today would be proud to design such a building. You want sixties buildings that haven't aged well, look at brutalist architecture.
Oh no (alas). This solver only works with TetraVex-type puzzles, that is puzzles for which you cannot rotate the pieces. My algorithm only permutes the pieces, like a 256-card deck. But if someone finds a way to transform the Eternity II puzzle to a TetraVex (the hardest part, IMO), then a solution can be found with this program... in the blink of an eye. ;)
No there isn't. The engine is born a year ago and we are still implementing the basis like networking and menus.
5 years of grad school implies a PhD - in which case they should be hyper specialize in some field. Sounds like your friends just chose the wrong subject to pursue a PhD in. Normally you're supposed to end up being one of the top 20 experts in a very narrow field of study.

In generally this doesn't bear out in computer science (which I still think is barely qualified to be a department)

Perhaps. I just don't understand why so many are so quick to equate government and business... such as presuming good business profiteers make good government officials, etc. I'll buy that when presidents can fire citizens and outsource the legislative branch to Colombia.
>What if the company stops making the drug, then? The price is high because no other companies are willing to make it for lower, after all.

Nope, don't force the company to make it. Force the company to give the formulation to another company that will. This article states the reason it is able to be priced so high, at least for a time, is that other companies will have to reverse engineer it and get a line running. Take out the time of getting the product formulated right and the original holder has to think about the ramifications of any shenanigans they will attempt to pull.

I initially dropped out of university after a year and started to work (went back to university a few years later).

Though it looks rather dated, the details can be updated inside and out to infuse the building with more modern flare.

But the problem is its size. If it were 3 times larger, then I can see it being re-purposed for many different things.

However, in its current size, it's nothing more than a relic from bygone era with very little utility. The proposed 500+ room hotel will completely dwarf this building, so what's even the point of saving it?
I've worked with so many people that were amazing, and had Masters, and others who were nearly useless to destructive. I don't believe it is a signal at all.
Neither are a problem. Typically, you don't get repeat business if you're selling fake pills, so online sellers of prescription drugs almost always provide you with what you're buying. This applies to both prescription drugs as well as recreational drugs purchased through darknets.

Regarding DHS and CBP, both are overblown concerns. You'll receive a letter in the mail noting they've confiscated the material in question, which you usually send to the seller who will replace the shipment at no charge to you.
They are in fact top experts in their fields (1/2 were computer science and the other 1/2 were chemistry). But even being the top in your field doesn't outweigh 5 years of experience.
Typically, you would use a good IDE that autocompletes syntax for you, displays contextual docs for standard functions, etc. Good tools will make you much more productive, and let you worry about architecture rather than syntax. You might have to spend a little depending on the platform, but that investment is typically well rewarded.

I can't speak to the best tools for Maple, but hopefully someone can offer a suggestion.
