What sort of time period did you do the taper over? I've been working on this taper for over two years, I think.
My understanding is that the DNC contracts with VAN to manage the voter files for all fifty states. It's a shared database, with candidates able to build up their own data on top. All the campaigns can see the underlying voter data, but they additions they make are private to the individual campaign. The Sanders campaign staffers realized they were able to see Clinton campaign data they should not have access to. That's all that happened. The problem was fixed within a few hours. The Sanders people didn't abuse the bug in any significant way, in fact they reported it. But then the DNC cut off Sanders campaign access completely -- the nation-wide voter file, all their additions, inaccessible. At this point, the DNC response seems more punitive than security-related.

Japan is very impressive in some ways and very...unimpressive in others. It's like they're super-high-tech in everything - except computers, which are very expensive compared to what you can get here in the US. That and their strange insistence on using fax machines and cash for everything. But yes, when it comes to taxi cabs and those amazing toilets that warm your ass-cheeks while playing music, if feels they're easily 75-100 years ahead of us.

> That is asinine. Why would a program be called ‘cat’ if it can’t concatenate multiple files?

Because he only thinks it's the "echo file to terminal" command.

The main use of cat was mentioned in the Programming in the UNIX environment article.

> The fact that cat will also print on the terminal is a special case. Perhaps surprisingly, in practice it turns out that the special case is the main use of the program. [...] But what about -v? That prints non-printing characters in a visible representation. Making strange characters visible is a genuinely new function, for which no existing program is suitable. [...] The answer is ‘‘No.’’ Such a modification confuses what cat ’s job is concatenating files with what it happens to do in a common special case - showing a file on the terminal.

A LVT would counter some of the externalities that enable rent extraction from assets.
I'm not arguing for an LVT though, I think it's more interesting to focus on rents, an externalities, in general. What if all assets were rented, at market value (or some aproximation), and all externalities accounted for in assets (things like cap and share comes to mind).

When it comes to government they should have no rights to the rent extracted, the commons should not be seen as a state asset. In principle it should be distributed as a dividend (which, in turn, could be taxed)

I think a good number of people just don't know that they're underpaid. I worked 3 years at ~100k, then started interviewing and quickly moved up to the kind of numbers mentioned in the article (note: nyc, so all numbers are somewhat inflated). I also gave up some unvested equity, but there's no way it could be worth anywhere near the salary difference.
This. Literally every single person who identified themselves as in the security fields that I saw said the researcher went too far.

What's really getting to me is the overwhelming number of responses containing idea that everything that isn't explicitly banned is permitted, despite the recipient saying "No" (even indirectly/without justification) at some point. How to deal with the grey area of consent is something that every adult should know, and it's worrying to me that so many here seem to feel entitled to whatever they can take as long as it wasn't explicitly forbidden.

Obviously FB should update their policy, but at the same time it's important that we as the community use this as an opportunity to learn and discuss where the implicit boundaries are, where one needs clear-cut agreement to proceed.

Consent is sexy.
Pet theory: someone at MS saw Apple taking a 30% cut of app store sales. Hmm, people seem to tolerate gatekeepers on mobile/tablet more than on desktop. So the obvious answer is to get into that business. But the competition has already got trained users. No worries, just make the next version of Windows work like MS tablets and phones. People take whatever they're told is the upgrade, so shortly after the upgrade there'll be a market of people ready to buy Windows tablets and phones, with MS getting a cut of sales.

A while later, it didn't work out that way and 8.1 came out.
Scipio was also fighting a different war.

Carthage was an empire that fielded armies. The Germanic peoples, as in this case, were often migrating and invading, and had a certain culture and way of life that meant the women and children were much more involved politically and militarily. Children were generally not present in significant numbers in Carthagian armies, they often were in German armies.

Given a few years, it was a virtual guarantee Caesar would be fighting the children of these people (assuming that they were not already fighting as well as they could or trying to prevent the retreat of the men). Carthagian children were, on the other hand, not a threat as long as the political situation remained stable.

I began the taper on my own and only discussed it with my doctor when it came time to drop from a 100mg to 50mg prescription. He wanted me to meet with him monthly to report my status but I thought that was ridiculous. I just meet with him when I need a refill.

This is a general practitioner, not a psychiatrist. I've met with many a psychiatrist before and find they are generally so invested in the biomedical disease model that I don't expect them to be particularly helpful. They're the group of people who got me into the emergency room from over-aggressive onboarding of an off-label drug (geodon for depression? It was insane) and also who advised me to get electro-convulsive therapy when I had "treatment resistent" depression (i.e. the psych meds weren't helping me to feel happy.) Fortunately I declined that frightful procedure.
There is valid criticism to be made, but the negativity in this thread is out of proportion.

As somebody who worked at Google for 5+ years, I'd like to emphasize a point: If you sustain good work [1] for a few years, you will be rewarded well beyond expectations [2]. Your compensation will depend on your performance, and not on your starting salary. I think this is unique to Google and maybe a few other tech giants. From this point of view, the generalization to 'big company' is flawed. But otherwise the points made by OP are true, and I wish more new grads would see it (and believe it).

[1] Your overall contribution to the project is important. Whether you work 30 or 50 hours a week to get there, it depends on you, of course.

[2] And those rewards do not depend on the stock price going up. That's just cream on top.
I'm onboard as well!
Yes, the picture changes drastically if I'd have to consider being anywhere other than the US.
>The Sanders people didn't abuse the bug in any significant way, in fact they reported it.

That is pure conjecture and I'm not even sure the Sanders campaign would agree with you considering they have fired a staffer over this.
It's a collection in one place of my previous posts - there is nothing at all new here ;)
> In a literal sense, yes.

And that's why this isn't directly related to Amdalh's law, which is about data synchronization. If something is parallel yet not concurrent it doesn't need to be synchronized. So what you are describing is a pragmatic hangup.
Wow, that interview is incredibly hostile.
An important point:

In a world of free sex and abundant resources, for a man, it totally pays off to learn the art of seduction than other arts (productive stuff like STEM, economics etc....real stuff with economic value). Women are easy to get with the right amount of time, right words and actions. Education, moral values, caring nature etc. have almost ZERO appeal in attracting most vapid women in today's world.

So why would most men (who don't have economic worries...or are just dumb) put any effort in their most productive years learning important skills?

-------------------------------------------------------

This article also misses the observation that men are a spectrum of attractive to unattractive (whatever attractiveness means to women).

With that in mind, attractive men can quickly log on to a dating app, message a 100 women and some of those women will respond positively (leading to sex).

For unattractive guys, most girls don't respond (so no sex for them).

Today's dating world is so fucked up that most of my male peers have absolutely no interest in dealing with female emotional concerns. They end up in "open relationships" which women agree to be in (because they have been told it's ok) and then suffer heartbreak....whereas the other guys (who don't get sex) just sit at home playing video games.

Even women don't want to "settle" until 30s by which they don't have any sexual appeal to men.

Marriage just doesn't have any appeal. What's the point of getting married? What does a woman bring to the table that they can't get themselves (except emotional turmoil)? There's no reason to get tied in a legal commitment that if broken, would be extremely expensive and scarring.

Why won't guys grow up?
They have grown up. Women are the kids expecting a man to marry them if they are not bringing anything to the table except declining sexuality and years of partying and baggage and still expecting men to take their legal burden.

>And how do you propose that would happen?

It requires a cultural shift. But those kinds of shifts do happen, particularly when they make sense and have the support of the government. After WW II a number of countries promoted large families, and that's what they got.

>It's far more likely the politicians and/or society as a whole will come to its senses and start promoting immigration, but I don't really see that happening either.

Whether that constitutes "coming to its senses" is really a question up for debate. Mass immigration is trading one set of problems for another. They might be substantially worse off.
On the other hand suffering builds resilience and character.

Thanks for the clarification. If you don't mind sharing more and if you remember, what was the exact usage of the word? It seems like some of them could be construed as sexist, as I referred to in another comment. So maybe that was why he was apologizing. I assume you didn't think it was sexist (or you would have said so), but maybe he was concerned it could be interpreted that way.

(If that's the case, he shouldn't have said it regardless of who was around, but once he said it, apologizing with some amount of sincerity would be better than not apologizing.)
I recently got an offer from Google for 270k total comp (<4 years experience, nyc). I would expect tenure to be worth a sizable amount over that, and it's my understanding that nyc is very similar to silicon valley.
>I find ui design to be some of the most boring work involved with a game so there are some instances where the ui could definitely be better.

I kind of feel the same way. Unfortunately, if you're going to do this all on your own, you're going to have to find a way to get interested in everything. I've only finished one game myself (a very poor Space Invaders clone, without Unity) and getting text to work was definitely one of the most boring and tedious parts of it.

>The tutorial seems to be something that people are the most divided on. (...)

My issue with the tutorial wasn't the length per se, but the presentation, which seemed a bit to be talking down to the player. Honestly, I figured out the gimmick as soon as I saw the button changed the color of the player sprite and that the other sprites had similar colors, it's not that complicated. I think maybe just tone down the anthropomorphism and it will be better.

>It's funny that you mention those three (...)

I just found the balance to be off somewhere I couldn't quite pin down. It might just be a matter of taste though - I'm more used to shooters and bullet hell games. If other people complain about it then it might be a problem worth looking into, but you're right that you can't please everybody.

>What makes you think it's a general sci-fi world?

The general visual and graphic theme seems to be technological and futuristic.

Good luck with it.

Since you are using Unity, have you considered putting a build for the web up somewhere? I don't even know if it would work, but it might be worth it to put a browser-capable demo somewhere.
Spot on. Java is such a sad language, so verbose, so cumbersome, so inexpressive, radiating such a condescending stupidity. Its pervasiveness today, at the end of fucking 2015, is just depressing.
How are people so confidently ignorant on this site?
To some extent the tilting was a side-show. It was the hydrokinetic brakes which really allowed the train to travel faster while still meeting the stopping distances necessary for the conventional signalling used on the line.
A bug of that nature, completely bypassing all permissions, made it past testing (I presume they test). Whatever happened afterward is noise to me. How the hell do you let that happen?

Hardly getting any blame is a neat trick. I wish I had that luxury.

But yes goods and capital can be bundled up as property when talking about trade. I do think there is a distinction somewhere, not exactly sure where yet. Such that even trade in goods is excluded from the kind of property rights I'm thinking of.
I guess the line goes somewhere between scarse and abundant. But even then I guess we have to separate scarse as in unique talents, and scarse as in accumulated resources.
It's way too early for the DNC to take punitive actions against any campaign. They shouldn't do that until there is evidence that data was misused. Currently there is no evidence, and I doubt any will appear.
I think this is a very valid point and I've only heard it said once before in an HN discussion about the merits of Powershell. The idea of "do one thing and do it well" requires that things can communicate relatively easily, which is certainly not always the case, especially with more complex data. I think Powershell deals with this by allowing for (IIRC XML-encoded) intermediate representations of data to be passed through pipelines.

I have been thinking about switching and currently use evil-mode but in default emacs, so I can switch to vim bindings if I want to but when I open a new buffer it's in emacs mode, however to me modal editing can be less productive

I mean, vim's modal language is more expressive, and you can get things done faster, but if I am coding I want most of my brain power to be on the algorithm I write, and I find that sometimes coming up with cool vim motions to do what I need to do instead of up-up-up-delete-up-up-up-delete etc. pulls me out of the zone a little bit because I have to engage my brain more.

For pure fun editing yes, I agree that modal editing is cool, and it is quite nice to be able to do complex text changes without really ever using the cursor keys, but when I am deeply concentrating I don't know, I don't care if I take two seconds longer to do something because I use the cursor keys because in the end those two seconds are seconds I use to think about the problem at hand anyways, which is not "how do I get to that spot and do that text change as quickly as possible"

Not sure, maybe if I give it more time it will become more automatic, but after a few weeks of mostly vim/evil-mode editing I still reach for emacs when doing "serious work"

I can see that. I personally prefer music, but I've definitely heard of people turning on the tv for "background chatter" when they live alone.

My point is though: By putting yourself in a public setting, you are more likely to be approached. I don't want to say "asking to be approached", but I'm not sure how else to articulate my thought |:)

I wouldn't be shocked if a stranger approached me in a coffee-shop. I would be if they approached me in my home!
Unfortunately the title makes it seem like a systemic problem. That's not clear because in this case it was a mis-typed MAC address. If there's any systemic problem it's that there's no check/verification to close the loop on whose MAC address is whose.
The fact that every search, export, and page access is logged, and that the Sanders people knew everything they did would be traceable, do you think they really would have tried to hoover up a bunch of Clinton data? The VAN CEO is emphatic that none of the exposed data was ever exportable.
TL;DR:

The number of cars on the road is growing much faster than trucks, and far more people drive them. Even most truck drivers also own cars and often drive their cars in preference to their trucks. Most ground-transportation-related investments revolve around cars and not trucks, and there are far more car-related products than truck-related products. Therefore trucks will soon be obsolete, and all cargo will be moved with cars.

He's not totally wrong. Mobile is the future. But desktop is also the future, and server, and IoT, and special purpose devices, and hacker devices like the Pi, and smart TVs, and smart cars, and smart appliances, and ...

... and and and and and ...

What's really happening is a great diversification of computing and a massive explosion in the amount of "silicon per capita." The part about "how many electric motors do you own?" is fairly spot on. But he falls down when he tries to push his argument too far and argue that mobile will eclipse desktop/laptop completely and we'll all be staring at 3.5" screens. I will say this until someone shows me a viable port of SolidWorks, Visual Studio, or Revit Architect that is usable on a smartphone. I'm not holding my breath for that.

The only way I see mobile replacing the laptop/PC is either some breakthrough in interaction metaphor (VR? AR that is really useful? brainwaves? who knows) or a mobile device that converts into a desktop when you plug a monitor into it and pair it with a keyboard. It would also have to be capable of being used with as much versatility as a PC, which would mean significant evolution of mobile OSes. Personally I doubt convergence... because why? Silicon is so cheap there is no economic driver for anyone to invest the development necessary for mobile to "swallow PC." It's cheaper and easier to just use two separate devices and let them deeply specialize and optimize for their respective roles. A car/truck convertible is possible too, but the result would probably be an oversized gas guzzler car with poor handling that converts into a shitty underpowered truck with poor capacity.

I also think he's wrong about mobile being the center of gravity. Mobile devices are dumb terminals for accessing the cloud. If there's an emerging new "sun" to replace the PC it's the cloud, not mobile. Increasingly I use both PCs with their big monitors and keyboards and mobile devices to access common cloud resources.
The .COM namespace is the property of the United States Department of Commerce, which has a responsibility to the American public to provide the best service at the lowest cost. Contracting to Verisign and allowing it to extract rents may well be the best way of doing so. But a right to make a profit off a public resource? Why? Why Verisign and not, say, me?
The APT was rushed into service before it was ready and suffered from initial glitches which ultimately led to bad press killing it off.

On the other hand I use the descendent of the APT (the Virgin Pendelino) to commute into work and back. The tilting mechanism is really sublime and incredibly comfortable. It was ahead of its time.
Yes, you can certainly get some acknowledgement of this from me, having lived it and researched it for many years (and also having succeeded in overcoming it by accepting this position).

Sure the propensity to feel depressed in response to a given experience may differ from person to person, but it is a product of evolution, and is far too common to be pathologised as a "disorder".

We have this assumption that a materially privileged life in a rich society should entitle us to a life of happiness, and any divergence from that is an "illness".

This ignores the fact that there is much that is unhealthy about modern western society, and the proliferation of depression among seemingly well-off people in rich societies is a natural reaction to that.
Wonder what life would have be like if instead of Java, it was Go that appeared in the 90s...
Yeah, seems the young ones aren't interested in making babies, hence the situation...
What you're describing is "exogenous depression", which occurs due to environmental causes. Its existence doesn't change the fact that a lot of people suffer from endogenous depression, which requires no external circumstances or stimuli. A lot of mental illness can be summarised as people reacting to things with the wrong emotions or the wrong intensity of emotion, and some forms of depression fall under this category.
Right. If you don't consider the training period you have a ridiculously rosy picture of the economics for a doctor. And as you say, this is the best case. Few doctors make anything like what cardiologists make.

In addition to all the debt you rack up, finishing your schooling in your 30s represents a huge opportunity cost - in the US a software developer with a BS has grossed something like a million dollars by then.
