This is like having many locks, alarm systems, cameras and more on your home and then leaving the key + keycode out back under a rock or over the door. Obfuscated backdoor? Sure, but the key is still in the backyard, anyone can find it and use it.

I wish encryption was explained to people in simple terms in the media like keys outback or window left ajar, something that obviously let's people know that it isn't safe to weaken security (for only our gov't which is not possible) otherwise it is pointless.
This techique seems to be similar to what you'd do to learn a foreign language. Start by trying to say simple things/phrases, hopefully from a native speaker. You may not understand any sentence structure or grammar, or have any actual idea about the individualness of each word. It's just a black box. But as you learn more black boxes, you start to notice small patterns that appear, and you can relate them together, and after a critical amount of memorization, the language slowly clicks. At this point, you start learning the theory/grammar structure, whilst adding to your vocabulary.

But, i don't believe this can be applied to subjects that have a lot of pre-requisites (a language, by definition, has no pre-requisits, if an infant can start learning it!). For example, you cannot learn calculus this way. You must learn the prerequisits (algebra in this case), otherwise it's too confusing and too complex.
I think videos are horrible for learning things like Math, CS, languages, psychology, economics, etc.

But they're great for learning how to use an IDE, graphic design, music, athletic movements, etc.
I want as many accounts as I want identities. In my case, that's pretty much one.

I'd substitute tutorials for videos. I usually avoid videos for many of the same reasons as you. But I've also taken advantage of some excellent ones.
This is exactly the problem the parent comment describes. Manufacturers aren't required to even mention MSG, or any glutamate for that matter, so we simply don't know.

Interesting how you haven't used any machine learning framework :) Did you do it purposely to get a better understanding of neural nets? Are you going to move to frameworks to speed up your iteration speed? Or are you more interested in maybe refactoring your code into a reusable framework? :)
Very interesting read!

During my training, I worked on a BIND4->BIND9 transition in a mainframe team and given the honourable task of looking for ways to make the configuration more secure.

I did quite a bit of reading back then, and I think I kind of remember reading something about z/Architecture having all the pieces in place to provide W^X-style memory protection, but the OS not using it (at least not z/OS). This article seems to say the opposite. Now I am confused if I mis-remember this detail or if the article I read back then was wrong. :-?

Qantas flies one 747-400 with GE, though. (and 4 with RR) I was thinking there might be a contractual issue with GE over this, like GE will just swap the engine on demand at their own expense at any station.

I would lkve to say that I'd reply "Three o'clock", after a calculated pause and an expression of measured disbelief.

The truth is I'd probably look it up on pure instinct.
More detail on the "it depends". The guarantees are of the form "if the utilization is less than X%, then an arbitrary collection of periodic tasks can be scheduled without missing deadlines". The key term there is "arbitrary". For example, rate monotonic scheduling provides this guarantee up to ~70% utilization. However, manually scheduled tasks can walk up into the 90's. A UPS application I worked on scheduled all of its periodic tasks manually by ensuring that each slower rate task had a rate that was always an integer divisor of (and lower preemptable priority than) the next higher rate task. This proceeded all the way until you get down to much slower rate periodic "housekeeping" tasks that weren't even realtime.
What many seem to forget is that when you're accessing "all those secrets for national security", you're hacking other nations. But as far as our elected officials are concerned, that's ok, until we're hacked.

Then we can impose sanctions on those countries for following our lead.

The emperor is insane!
Great.

We are about to get some great data on the impact of piracy and it's network effects on both revenue and overall value perception.

On the piracy and network effects, the industry position is lost sales and complete denial of positives, such as people sharing resulting in purchases and greater minds are related to the game.

I submit entertainment dollars are largely fixed for the vast majority of players. Will they just play fewer new games, or will the dollars some how magically be found, or will they come from other, lower priority entertainment forms, or...

On value perception, will games remain at $60 plus DLC, or will the value perception fall as people struggle with inability to archive, trade, etc?

This, coupled with available entertainment dollars may see the price of games fall, or other entities willing to play differently compete better, attracting share.

All very interesting to watch.

> Some folks at UC Berkeley built an RFID reading device you could put by the side of a (one lane) road (like an on-ramp) and read the tires from it. From a traffic analysis standpoint it would be much more effective than those hoses they put across the road to measure cars going by.

Why would that be much more effective? Do the hoses have significant count errors, or is it that the RFID system will let them tell what make/model of tire went by and so infer data such as vehicle type that they do not get from the hose system?
This parallels how I try to approach learning. For me, the "meta" idea is that I need some kind of mental model / framework before I can learn many details. Once that framework is there I can hang new knowledge on it without much trouble. So steps 1 and 2 are geared toward building that framework. Step 3 is about making things, which is where you'll spend a lot of time acquiring a lot of in-depth knowledge.

Hacker news comments section doesn't work on Firefox on Android either.
Yeah, I wanted to understand how they worked, so I stayed away from any framework.

I have since moved over to using Theano, Lasagne & nolearn. However, I almost find it just as hard, because it's so easy to step wrong and get errors, and so hard to debug. In addition, Lasagne & nolearn doesn't exactly have great documentation of tutorials available (they have some, but I like to try out many tutorials to get perspective and get a proper understanding).

I'm far from good enough to turn my implementations into frameworks :p

Google is getting lot better at design but I can't help notice little things. Like the "Get Started" section has three boxes with first one slightly bigger, how hard was it to make all of them same size (http://i.imgur.com/eGpjRDv.png). It is minute detail I know.
Horrible title. The OP has fallen into the trap of describing policing as the entirety of "criminal justice". Cops are only one of many branches of the criminal justice system, one that has very little authority in comparison to courts or corrections.

I thought I would be reading about forensics or how technology might help corrections officers rehabilitate offenders, but instead it was about what to do with all the traffic cops if cars drive themselves ... a purely hypothetical problem atm.
awesome.

i often shoot pictures of the sky, a forest canopy, or
other natural phenomenon, to get this kind of gradient.
but this is even better, in many ways.

one suggestion is to feather the edges into each other,
a la the "seamless" background patterns of yesteryear,
to soften them if/when the background repeats, because
background-size:cover doesn't handle very long elements,
like "body", without having the background-image repeat.

good work.

Also this article isn't as good as it could be. too much happiness about micro services.
Microservices makes more sense in a bigger team than in a small team. A small team can't work really easily with a codebase that is splitted too much (and with small I mean less than 10).

I understand that not every member-company transgression is due to the company. But sources like Moral Mazes give us a vast set of evidence to believe that companies are intrinsically organized to be able to commit such transgressions without ever bearing responsibility for them, and that extraordinary effort is put forward to create organizational frameworks that codify exactly this manner of villifying worker victims and coordinating across organizations to create workplace cultural norms such that any action of standing up for one's self is deemed "unprofessional" or "not becoming of a true team player" or whatever other HR code word you want, all the way up, apparently, to "psychopath."

In this sense, we ought to be more willing to apply skepticism to the company, and more skeptical in general that things like company charter documents, HR policies, company handbooks, or even just email memos about company culture and policy (the more likely case in a start-up), are designed to create legal deniability for the pursuit of illegal and irrational whims of executives, and truly nothing more.

This is so much the modus operandi of companies in general, start-up or otherwise, that until after we account for the huge base rate of company-initiated transgressions, it just has little relevance to focus so much on the "toxic" employee. In fact, one of the most successful scams of the organizational HR world is to draw so much disproportionate attention to the scarecrow "toxic employee."

Both of my worst experiences with outright fraudulent and corrupt managers have come at start-ups, where there wasn't even the thin veneer of an HR apparatus to even pay lip service to protecting us from executive whims.

Now, having said all that, I can certainly still agree that your case might be an exception. But I would prefer if your article was written more that way: that when this happens on the part of an employee, it's generally very rare and the best thing for the company to do is try to learn how they could have handled it better (read: publicly calling someone something as incendiary as "psychopath" is not it, even if it were true), and voiciferously acknowledge that in the vast, vast majority of cases, it is the company being toxic, not the employee who responds by standing up for herself.
You might only have access when the vehicle is moving on the road.

For instance, you might plant a roadside reader/logger, and have an observer away from the road watching. The observer notes the time whenever a military vehicle goes by.

After you've logged a few military vehicles, you retrieve the logs, match them up to the observer's time stamps, and now you've got a list of targets for your roadside RFID based bomb.

Security Considerations

Classically, an IR sensor should tell the car the difference between zombies and humans. Herd avoidance is probably a better tactic because of resource depletion.

Are you able to save your notes out of Overleaf in the free version? It looks like a nice service but I don't want to pay to have offline access to notes especially since I like to have a nice git repo with all my old notes backed up.
> My side work is more in line with the type of work I am going for, so I'd like to be able to highlight those projects in an interview, but so far have avoided discussing them in depth or even putting them on my resume. As a result I feel I am categorized as being a great fit for a data eng role, but not enough experience for data science or machine learning.

In that case I think you should put the projects on you resume and politely try to steer the conversation to those projects. Theoretically they will be more interested in those projects, if that's what they'd want you do to.

> Generally speaking, do companies look down on candidates who take on side work in addition to their FT job?

I wouldn't discuss this in the interview but would ask my lead engineer when I'm settled. There's no need to discuss this a priori, except if you plan to prioritize side-projects (which doesn't make sense).
Another option is to simply behave.

Why a Mixpanel power user left to join Amplitude
I've observed that suggesting that JS isn't needed for most pages is one of the more reliable ways to get downvoted on HN. This is usually acco9mpanied with a complaint that their "web apps" need JS, similar to the "JS off will break most sites" fallacy that you mentioned.

The people making those claims probably believe that everything would break without JS, because they are looking at it from the perspective of a business or designer. If you consider your own site to be "broken" if the analytics/tracking doesn't work, or the fad "UX" effects are not rendered, they it's easy to believe that JS should be mandatory.

This point of view is based on a fundamental misunderstanding of what the web is. HTML is more concerned with semantic abstractions than the specifics of how a page renders (use a pdf if you want to control the layout). This was an important design choice because it recognizes that the client is responsible for the rendering, which is free to completely ignore the suggestions made by the page.

Unfortunately, far too many people don't want to accept that they don't actually have control over the browser.

This used to be a well known technique by windows users to save memory and resources, back in the day when the desktop background could have an impact on system performance. The trick was to have a background of an image of a few pixels square and use the "Stretch to fit" option, which created beautiful soothing backgrounds, but only take a few bytes of memory.
This attitude is the enemy of progress.
It's actually a very low resoluton image (3x7 by default), stretched using the bilinear filtering provided by the browser.

Chrome and Safari produce smooth images. Firefox for Mac produces a mosaic (source each pixel gets a ~10x10 grid, it looks pretty good IMO). Firfox for Android may not do any smoothing.

I don't think there's a way to control how the browser does the filtering.
The big short, the housing bubble and the financial crisis
"Can it really be true that violent crime was declining between 1973-91? There's no question that this is what the NCVS data tells us, but it sure doesn't match what everyone thought was going on at the time. By the early 90s, virtually everyone in America was convinced that (a) crime had been rising relentlessly for decades and (b) it would continue rising. (Remember "superpredators"?) At a purely gut level, a crime decline during this period sure doesn't feel right."

I think this can and may be true. See Pinker's arguments in The Better Angels of our Nature. It seems obvious to me that people's perceptions of crime are influenced to a huge extent by media reporting. People have irrational, unfounded beliefs all the time, so I don't see why they should be indicative of anything.
BAA = business associate agreement. Contract between an organization that handles personal health information (e.g. a research lab in a university ) and a business that does work with that data (e.g. Google Genomics).

Edit: link to relevant definition
http://searchhealthit.techtarget.com/definition/HIPAA-busine...
No, it's a Business Associate Agreement, part of HIPAA. (See a sample here: http://www.hhs.gov/hipaa/for-professionals/covered-entities/...)

Basically an agreement between organizations that there is an understanding that PHI (protected health information) is at stake and that both parties are aware of their obligations to protect it.

I agree about aircraft. Even though it could be fully automated (the Navy had a drone called Salty Dog [1] that could take off from an aircraft carrier, perform its mission, refuel on-air, and return to the aircraft carrier fully autonomously), a pilot's compensation is a terribly small price to pay for having a human brain in the air in the event of a critical failure.

Regarding vehicles though, I don't agree. Yes, they won't work in the snow or inclement weather yet. But there are numerous places around the world where the weather is sufficiently stable that autonomous vehicles could operate the majority of the time. The value proposition is simply too high for anyone to throw their hands up and say, "Well, we can't do this." and move on to another project.

It's going to happen slowly (see: Tesla Autopilot slowly gaining more features with each point release), and then all of a sudden.

The image is a derivative work; it's derived from the original stock image.

If the stock image is protected by copyright, and you don't have a license to use it (for anything), is it copyright infringement to use it like this on your website?

You might have meant this, but the problem isn't strictly third-party advertising, it's advertising delivered by a third party. Nothing wrong [1] with company a paying for company b to host an image and deliver it along with its content, just as offline advertising works.
