Not to mention the extra ~12% payroll tax that all freelancers are hit with (twice what employees pay).

Or the fact that a very large portion of your time as a freelancer has to spend with non-income earning activities (accounting, marketing, etc) if you want to have any chance of surviving as a freelancer.

60$/hr for a freelancer is equivalent to about 60,000-80,000/year. It's a decent income for some parts of the country, but not SF.

It seems like you're calling section 4.1 of the paper "magical"; do you have something specific in it to object to that makes you think the estimates are severely mistaken?

In order to defend against adversaries with undisclosed capabilities, you have to extrapolate known attack methods and hardware to produce estimates of what may be practical. Every paper that proposes keylength and parameter size recommendations does this. If we didn't extrapolate this way, there would have been no reason to stop using 56-bit symmetric ciphers until 1998 (!). The hardware necessary to crack such a cipher could have been dismissed as "magical" because nobody who had built it had published a paper about it.

Well, technically speaking cljs-devtools is not a Chrome extension. It is just a piece of javascript you include in your javascript project running on client side in the browser.

I don't follow development of Chrome or Firefox extensions to really tell, but I think writing extension in some transpile-to-javascript language should be transparent to us users. It might be even not advertised.

I think developing extensions is not difficult, the difficult part is developing extension for multiple browsers. Not javascript, but the browser APIs differ.

I follow just development of Blink/Chrome DevTools. One notable recent development is an attempt of TypeScript community to extend DevTools to support transpile-to-javascript language extension points: https://codereview.chromium.org/1264133002. See the video here: http://ham.io/files/dt.mp4

This would help cljs-devtools to offer better development experience for ClojureScript as well.

I'm going to have to disagree with you. Long before Markdown came along, the convention was to use asterisks for * bold *, slashes for /italics/ and underscores for _underlined_ text. And that's just for starters.

Those three examples perfectly convey the intended effect, quite unlike the Markdown versions where asterisks will somehow imply italics, but only if they're single asterisks? It's a strange thing!

Reading through the press and Theranos response it's certainly ... weird.

My theory, assuming they aren't outright committing fraud.

The technology works, at least within a tolerance they think is reasonable. It's possible that early scientific staff (part of the huge turnover commented elsewhere) weren't happy with that tolerance.

Now they are in the process of getting FDA approved. At the same time Theranos is also following a Silicon Valley strategy, building an audience with a loss leading product. In this case it's doing blood tests at a price well below cost, using normal lab equipment, and covering the difference with VC money.

They dont want to admit this for two reasons

1) It exposes them to the competition, who know they are losing money on every transaction and it also would make doctors and patients wary of dealing with them

2) As discussed in the WSJ article taking less blood and using normal machines just means a less accurate blood test, which makes the benefit of not getting a needle much smaller and messes with their core marketing message

I think this also explains the directive discussed in WSJ to only submit sample results from normal lab equipment, as at the moment they are simply operating as a normal lab.

I think this is a clash between staff who think Theranos was all about creating a reliable way of doing blood tests with less blood, and the current direction they are taking building scale with traditional equipment.

It's worth noting that (many) blood tests don't need FDA approval. This makes Theranos' approach unusual: they are getting FDA approval, but not publishing the (easier and cheaper to do) tests.

I don't know enough to judge this one in any sensible way. I thought this Forbes article[1] was good, and the author said:

How much is real and how much is hype? I’m not going to provide a final answer here. I still have no idea how Theranos’ technology works. But I’m more confident than I was before after spending a day talking to the company’s partners.

Here are a few reasons for that confidence: The Food and Drug Administration has just posted a detailed explanation of its decision to clear Theranos’ one approved test, and, to my eyes, it does give some validation of their technology

Your single link talks about mild hypertension, and says that interventions may not make any difference to health outcomes.

But you can look at what guidance for doctors is to compare what happens. Here's UK guidance.

https://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/cg127/chapter/Key-prioritie...

Offer drugs to people with stage one but only if there are other symptoms; offer drugs to anyone with stage two (but do careful measuring to ensure they actually have stage two); investigate causes and provide support.

It's pretty frustrating that you misrepresent the research, and what doctors do with that research, to push some anti-doctor spin.

There's plenty of bad stuff that doctors actually do.
I have nothing but praise for the LG Nexus 5. It's rocking a stock Android (already got the Android 6.0 upgrade) and is an awesome phone all around.

Besides the Nexus 5, I think you should also try and invest in some other phones that will give you the range from low-end, cheap, shitty Androids to mid and large-screen devices. Just to cover your bases and find out any platform/device/resolution-specific bugs.

Also, the new Nexus 5X seems nice, but I haven't got a chance to try it out yet.

I always found debugging to be one of the most important skills in software development and programming.

Most people seem to think of debugging only as finding and fixing unexpected behavior in finished software projects, but it is actually a big part of the development process itself: When I implement a new feature, I normally use the following pattern:

* Make a mental model of what I want to accomplish (e.g. "add payment form to the web app")

* Split that into individual chunks of work (e.g. "create the web form and have it accept the data")

* Write a chunk of code and see its effect on the software

* Find unexpected behavior (i.e. "debug" the feature)

* Fix the unexpected behavior to match the desired one

Ideally, the loop above is not performed once for an the entire feature but many times on tiny, individual parts of it (writing tests for each small step is even better). By this definition I probably spend 50 % of my time "debugging" code, if not more.

Debugging is also the most important skill that I try to teach to other programmers when onboarding them into a team. Why? Because a programmer that is effective at debugging will save himself/herself and everyone else on the team an incredible amount of time. Developers that aren't able to efficiently debug problems themselves will get stuck frequently, which means that someone else on the team has to "unblock" them by doing the debugging for them. In that case, the "debugger" will usually be a more experienced team member, which means your team will waste not only the time of the inexperienced developer, but also that of the experienced one. I believe this is the main reason that adding another programmer to a large team can actually slow progress down rather than accelerating it.

On the other hand it's of course the responsibility of the experienced developers and the team lead to make sure that only a minimum amount of (unexpected) debugging is required to begin with. In practice this means having (among other things) strict development guidelines, software tests, a continuous integration system, very good documentation and a thorough code review process.

Also, I might be saying nonsense here but I think the reason that people from Physics or other STEM fields are usually very good programmers is that they are thaught a lot of "debugging" skills during their training, especially in experimental fields.
From elsewhere i got the impression that there was less pre-compiled software to be had, so unless you wanted an expensive paper weight you basically had to learn to code.
It is magical. There is a magic 36000-core (?) computer that has been running for years (?). Well no, the paper just invents it. On the hearsay that an "anonymous nsa official" said they'd cracked something.

It astonishes me that people are running about like rabbits in a headlight on such flimsy nonsense.

But I understand. It makes us feel important. The new James Bond movie is coming out. And imagine! We're like a superhero secret agent. We can protect from the big bad government by increasing all the keys to 2048 bits! And we get to feel special and important.

Sigh.
This basically says: Learn all the things!

But the best front-end people I ever saw did not learn all the things. They learned a few things, mastered even fewer of those things, but ultimately understood how to make what they had learned work for them to do whatever they needed to do.

If anyone is reading the handbook and thinking this is too much, you'll never get through it... you're right, it is and you won't. Just learn HTML really well, CSS fairly well (and pick a tool to help manage the CSS) and learn raw JS and one of the helper systems (JQuery). That's it... get the core skills right, get those mastered, and the rest will come easily and you'll understand when and why to use them.

I highly doubt that, and I don't think it's a good logic. You cannot compare the power, tools and jurisdiction the NSA has and compare that to other bad actors. The NSA literally has the right to spy on you, but it will get very difficult for somebody else to do something comparable if they don't have the same resources AND the same intentions.

We are not talking about other corporations here so please don't generalize. I hate it when this happens. We are talking about VW not the meat industry or Chevron who by the way distroyed almost single handed a large portion of the amazon.
VW did something wrong, people got hurt, they were exposed and there is sufficient evidence.
Just because someone else is doing it does not mean that they should get away with it.
And by sheep I mean that we are just ignorant about the bigger picture here.

If VW will emerge out of this relatively unscathed it will create a dangerous precedent and the and the auto industry will have learned nothing.
Personally I try to do the right thing, like trying not buying gas provided by BP or Chevron if possible and I can tell you rigth now that my next car will not be a VW.
Damn you, giving me an additional boost to my already large ego. I'm one of those programmers who considers my skills to be more developed than most of my co-workers - I've met 4 people throughout my career whom I consider to be as good as or better than me. I never thought to compare my experience against that which a doctor goes through.

Ironic considering my language of choice is laughed at by "true developers". It's true that I consider my skill set to be above the people I've worked with, but I know there are millions of developers out there who outshine me in what one might call real development. I am both proud and jealous, but I like the comparison of a seasoned developer being similar to a doctor. It's true that it takes 10-20 years to have a solid understanding of what one is doing. Interesting analogy.

I think the point is, until there's funding reform, climate reform doesn't stand much of a chance. Similarly, once the funding reform is done, climate reform will get promoted.

Even if it were true, no doctor or lawyer would be stupid enough to openly say it.
There is a certain overlap you may be overlooking, the "enthusiast amateur". They overlap a bit with server and a bit with desktop/mobile/embedded.

But they are into computers for computers sake, so to speak, rather than into computers as a tool for doing a different job.

Meaning they are looking for agnosticism, much like your server example, but on desktop/mobile/embedded.

And those seem to be what gets the hardest squeeze in all this, and are the least articulate in their complaints.

The irony is that many of those that are in that segment may know more about the day to day inner workings of things than the actual devs writing the code. This because they see the code in action with all the ragged edges exposed, rather than in pristine code form.

It's not an extra 15%. The total amount of Social Security and Medicare taxes is 15.4%, with the employer paying half and the employee paying the other half. When you're self-employed, you pay both halves. And the employer half is always deductible on your federal income tax, which reduces the sting a little.

Your theory regarding PyPy's JIT is disproved rather easily. Python's grammar has been shown to not be context free. This implies that in the best case, the parser is supralinear in both time and space. Just the parser. Now add the rest of the JIT.
Scientific discovery often happens by accident, i.e. unpredictably. And when you're not expecting to discover something, you're obviously not being precise about it.

A concrete example is the accidental discovery of the cosmic microwave background radiation. If you Google "accidental discovery" you'll find hundreds of other examples.

Or, if you prefer an Asimov quote:

I disagree with this approach. It does not prove that the null hypothesis is true, only that it is better than an alternative model.

Rather than trying to prove that a quantity is identical to zero, I would rephrase the problem as trying to determining what the quantity is, and giving a confidence interval for it.

When the confidence interval has become sufficiently small, and includes zero, then we may say that any difference is neglible.
