The remote work market will trend towards location-independence.

Differential pricing cannot last in a fungible market. The companies that offer $100k and get $300k value from each employee will eventually out-compete those that offer $100-200k and get $300k value.

It's the same mechanism behind free markets defeating other forms of discrimination (I use this in the general, non-legal sense). If most companies pay women less because that's the market, eventually the non-discriminating outliers will do better and the market adjusts to the more efficient reality.

The timing may be unknown, but the movement towards a non-discriminating equilibrium in fungible markets is not.
One common mistake is: having too much passion and refuse to pivot. This is somewhat a grey area. First, your idea might not be even new and there are many competitors or alternatives (which is more dangerous than direct competitor). Then you end up convincing yourself: yeah, I will be the next Dropbox. Their idea ain't new. Second, even if it is a new idea, you tend to see many problems along the way in term of market adoption. You refuse to change / pivot. You will fall into the circle of denials because you think your product is not up to the mark yet.

I advocate using "OPTIONS /path" for that.
One theory bandied about is that the initial partner companies that Starfighter is working with (ie the ones looking to hire) includes a disproportionate number of financish companies such as might be found on the east coast.

I wouldn't be surprised if lots of companies in that domain would be very interested in the candidates coming out of Stockfighter, however there are so many subsystems involved in the problem environments disclosed so far that many valuable skill sets have the potential to be exercised. Part of the (general) success of both Stockfighter and Starfighter will be how well they manage to actually exercise those different skill sets.

I'm cautiously optimistic so far :)

I wouldn't be so sure. USB, for example, isn't that different from RS-232, it's just faster.

There were people in the 70s (I was one of them) looking to build a handheld tablet. We were defeated (obviously) by the needed display and miniaturization technology being a couple orders of magnitude (at least) inadequate. Our ideas were awfully crude by current tablet standards, but we would have recognized a modern tablet, just like I would have recognized my current desktop as not conceptually that different from an LSI-11 box with a terminal.

Is standard Markdown used? I noticed that a new line can show up as a list item if a hanging '*' exists

Hitting enter multiple times keeps the editor indented. Not sure if that's what I expect to see.

While the author is down on automatic file name scans, I see nothing wrong in using tools to catch easy mistakes. How many people do regular code / package reviews? Did not think so.
I recommend:
- https://github.com/jandre/safe-commit-hook
- my fork of the above for NPM js workflow https://github.com/bahmutov/ban-sensitive-files
- NPM checklist that includes sensitive file reviews https://github.com/bahmutov/npm-module-checklist

Finally, if GitHub can automate some of the simple checks, so can we, for different tools and environments of course.

Not so much. We chose markets because we think they're fun.
This looks very promising!

Hopefully this means the data can be incorporated into projects like OpenStreetMaps, though I have no idea if it is appropriate (I guess it would be) nor if it's already incorporated or not (I would guess not, based on the article).

Like you said, this is very much on the lines of the US/UK govt claiming encryption as the culprit for everything. There would have been a push for this anyway, irrespective of whether the Paris attacks had happened or not.

The implementation would likely be forced at ISP level, blocking known Tor nodes. But then, Tor is larger than that.
Thankfully, our fleet of submarines makes sure that the threat of nuclear apocalypse remains imminent.
That was my impression as well.

There have been a number of comments from people who find the idea of the markets 'unfun', or just not relevant to the roles and tasks they want to be doing. My impression from what has been released so far is that there is actually a plethora of tasks/technologies/etc involved, and as such 'useful' skills will be used regardless of if you're in the finance industry.
Like most dotfiles it starts in the current directory and works its way up. Unless npm as changed, the default location for .npmrc is your home directory. You have to actively store the file in the repo.
And ICBMs, too.
I prefer the idea of submarines, though. There were several cases of very serious incidents involving planes losing control and crashing while carrying nukes, at least with submarines the collateral risk on population is much less.
Oh huh... I don't know if I like that, but if it works then I guess it works

Absolutely. You can know ultimately that you don't know what you're doing, but still be pretty sure of your heuristic and draw from skills and experiences (as you say). People do not follow and are not inspired by those that will openly claim they have no idea what they are doing. This is a hindsight thing.

The flat plains look like they have dunes on them!
nice! I initially stayed away from lua due so I could support earlier redises, but these days I would totally take that dependency on to simplify the code.

regarding that implementation, one diff I am spotting is that I also have a concept of global message id / global channel, this allows us to subscribe to a single spot and distribute from there (which keeps thread counts down and is particularly useful for server -> server comms.)

A lot of parity with our projects :)

Regarding web sockets, I decided against supporting them (initial implementations did) the issue is that web sockets are 100% flaky on HTTP and just add tons of unneeded complexity, in advent of HTTP/2 in NGINX they would be a net loss imo cause you would be wasting a connection.

Thank you so much for the great feedback! :D
The best solution I've seen is a "fee and dividend" system, where a carbon fee is collected and the proceeds are rebated in equal amounts to every legal resident of the nation.

This means that, when gas prices go up, a lower-class person whose carbon footprint is exactly that of the average citizen will be reimbursed for the extra gas money by exactly the right amount. And the tax ends up being not regressive.

Compare the carbon footprint of a well-to-do businessman who flies coast-to-coast on a monthly basis with that of a working-class guy who drives ten miles a day and heats his house with oil. The former is greater then the latter by several times. The working-class guy contributes a relatively small share to global warming, but bears an equal share of the public cost induced by the changing climate. Under the fee-and-dividend system, every man reimburses the public for the cost that he is imposing on them through his CO2 emissions, and is reimbursed by everyone else for the cost they impose on him.

Because of this I argue that a carbon fee and dividend is the right policy from a social justice perspective, and should be enacted even if it is not going to be sufficient to push us as a society off of fossil fuels.

Google "carbon fee and dividend" or see this (http://www.skepticalscience.com/CCL-pushing-for-US-fee-and-d...) for more.
> How do you be a leader

focus less on the lead/follow(or get out of the way) dichotomy and more on how to add value? think less of commanding troops in a battle against competitors or market forces, and envision yourself more like a bridge between your team and your customers.

in today's environment (as far as i can tell; haven't thought a/b it that much, really), the relationship with customers is about the only thing most startups "own". so you'll want to present yourself as someone who's going to go to bat for the people around you no matter what happens, especially the unexpected, and i thought the story about motorcycles being banned was a really good example of this.

Awesome.

Having recently done a large chunk of Microcorruption, I think I get what they are going for here. Super excited.

But also a little nervous as to the timing. Like others have said, if this releases before xmas, my level of interaction with the real world may have a real impact on the most wonderful time of the year, family togetherness, etc, etc.

I'd love it if one of the founders could tell me if there's any PVP element to the low-level tech tree? What I'm really asking is if I put off playing this until some time in January, have I put myself at a disadvantage?

These sort of criteria can't possibly narrow down a set of people enough to justify spying on them. It's like trying to surveil every adult male after a shooting because most shooters are adult men: technically true, and you've eliminated over half of all humans, but most of the people left are still innocent.

There's actually a commonly repeated lesson there (although I forget the popular source) -- You should have passion for the problem, not passion for your solution to it. If you're passionate about the problem, and it's a real one (it's unlikely you can be passionate about an imaginary one), there's no such thing as too much passion. If a solution you worked on for hundreds of hours isn't the right one to solve the problem you're passionate about, that passion will overcome your attachment to the solution and you'll be willing to pivot.

Have passion for the problem, and even if other people have attempted to solve it, your passion will help you solve it better than them even.

The carbon is amorphous before it is heated, then it forms various crystalline structures it appears (you can see that in the Raman, EELS, and other measurements, though the quick way to identify that is all the discussion of various crystalline planes).

EDIT for clarity: *forms various crystal structures that are embedded in the amorphous layer.
Have you seen http://www.cs.utexas.edu/~wcook/Drafts/2009/essay.pdf? It includes the great line "the untyped lambda calculus was the first OO language", something I'd noticed myself -- I won't say independently, since both the author and I were on the cap-talk list (or maybe it was e-lang) back in the day.
Much of what we know about these programs are just from leaked presentation slides from Edward Snowden. That means these are slides made to digest a big process for management or new people.

The slides indicate that they are aware that "turbulence" can occur, and also that they are sensitive to issues of overwhelming data volume and bad signalling. It's also clear that they take multiple factors beyond simple web behavior, such as if you are a foreign language speaker in a region.

Unfortunately we don't know the specifics of this program. We don't really know what exclusionary criteria they use, or what strong inclusionary factors gets somebody tagged for deeper automated surveillance. The factors likely are likely being tuned all the time by engineers and statisticians, like, for example, snooping on Google is probably not easy anymore due to routine HTTPS, so they probably have changed that part of the program.
What I'm really asking is if I put off playing this until some time in January, have I put myself at a disadvantage?

Nope.
I'm super stoked for Stockfighter to come out, but I'm confused about something...

If you intend for performance in Stockfighter to be used as a proxy for talent by recruiters, how do you intend to prevent cheating? Seems like it should be very easy for people to work in groups, or look up walkthroughs online.
No ecc, no protection from memory corruption. You shouldn't use them for anything serious!
No. We're releasing something for people to play with before we release the actual CTF levels, to try to level the playing field a bit.

Here they are talking about surface quenching, where the amorphous carbon thin film is heated then rapidly cooled on the surface. Instead of forming smaller precipitates, like in an alloy, it just forms very small crystals that happen to be extremely hard. They are embedded in amorphous material. The key phrase that capture this is: "This Q-carbon has amorphous structure with some embedded nanocrystalline diamonds the number density of which is determined by the nucleation time available for growth." Hopefully this clears things up somewhat.

Pure carbon is actually metallic at sufficiently high temperatures, as reported in this paper and in this citation: [1].

Here's sort of how this went sour.

Democrats, "Man, I can't wait to get in power... when I do, everything is going to be so 'fair' and it's going to be paradise."

Republicans, "Once I get in power I'm going to use the rules to my advantage and make sure I stay in power."

Democrats, "Aww shucks, you beat us by using the rules we all agreed to! Man, I never saw that one coming."

Republicans, "We told you we hated government... see how backwards it is... come vote for us next time and we'll do something about it. Also Jesus."

Democrats, "Ok! Once we turn 40 we're there!"

And thus, Gerrymandering is here to stay.

So there is still the indirection of the function call, but it's probably the right approach.
This is big news, PSMA was basically setup as a for profit government owned business which sold this data at great cost. I'm really glad the government has seen how valuable this data is to the Australian people and business. Great to see the government making genuine improvements to foster innovation in Australia today, really impressive stuff.
Quantitative differences eventually become qualitative ones.

Nobody cares about any one particular data point being published; it's the collection of all of them that's revealing. See the "metadata" debate that's been going on for a year or two now.

I suspect that most folks would be willing to self-publish their checking account balance on one random day. But every day for a year, or their whole lives? Probably not. You have to marry me if you want to have that kind of information.
Completely agree on both parts. The people targeting her were socially inept from what she could work out but really creepy all the same. She had a computer in her room and parents with little understanding of technology.
This is a fantastic news. As an Australian and someone who has worked on personal projects requiring a geocoded address database, and had to jump through million hoops to come close to it, this is invaluable.

I think it's better to have some weighted account of what you know and don't know then to assume that any process, framework, theory, or person can't be relied on for signal.

Daring to have an opinion and daring to be wrong can be just as much of an exploratory process; that, and it sounds less anxious.

A lot of people say "nobody knows anything!" and leave it at that. It's more often used as an anti-intellectual tool, or a license to say whatever you want since you've just established that everyone in the room is ignorant.
The folks I know of that do this work for large companies that do a lot B2B or enterprise stuff. They effectively lucked into the positions. Most started as programmers but -at some point- got noticed by their managers as having really good people skills, -whether through a stint in regular sales, non-front-line tech support, or just interactions with coworkers in the office- but one went from pure sales to engineering sales because of his side projects and general technical aptitude.

Sadly, I forget what these positions are actually called. Best of luck in your hunt! I hope you find and fill such a position and are both happy and richly rewarded in it. :D

I think that was SAC (Strategic Air Command) which was shut down in 1992 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strategic_Air_Command

"Following Operation Desert Storm, the dissolution of the Soviet Union and the de facto end of the Cold War, President George H. W. Bush and Secretary of Defense Dick Cheney directed SAC to take all bomber and refueling aircraft and Minuteman II ICBM's off of continuous nuclear alert on 27 September 1991[85] and placing said aircraft on quick reaction ground alert"

So, still ready for Armageddon, but with a bit higher latency.

Long answer: Looking at the code, this is written in pure Julia and nothing in place for running on a GPU. You could (re)write it but I'm guessing that's not what you meant when you asked.

Ah, but it is not the Turing test. The paper does mention that it is a Turing test. The proper Turing test requires, among other things, live back and forth with questions and not evaluation on a static data set. Interesting research nevertheless.
There's no reason whatsoever to think it's legitimate. Whatever the limit of due diligence might be, this isn't even close.
The super tucano is a great plane. Saddened me that the Navy and Air Force couldn’t get them operational in a much quicker fashion and on a much larger scale. They provide better ground support and targeting, longer on station time, and all at a substantially cheaper cost than fixed-wing. Plugging square, fixed-wing jets into round, low-threat-CAS holes cost the American tax payers billions. This is one of my greatest disappointments in military leadership.
