How In-App Purchases Have Destroyed the Game Industry
I think the difference is the fantasy sports betting are small companies whereas lotteries are typically run by the government. There is also the difference in that winning fantasy sports betting is far, far more likely than winning a lottery jackpot.

Seems pretty different to me enough to illicit different reactions.
I bought a ticket last night - expected cash value at that time was $969.7mm so it was right at expected average return. It will probably go up more today.

Kidnapping & being held for ransom would be a very real threat for the winner. If someone could plan to kidnap the one of the president's dogs [0], a multi-millionaire and their family is totally plausible as a target.

Keep learning and polishing your skills while on your hunt.

Also look for contract positions, short term projects with companies, also look at doing a few data projects on your that might be interesting to employers.

Why do you say they either don't understand or are addicted? Have you asked them, or are you just assuming that there's no possible alternative? And are you sure that the money would be better spent if it couldn't be spent on lottery tickets?

> "...no pirate has an incentive to deviate unilaterally (one vote can't change the voting outcome)..."

I would strongly challenge that assumption as having any realism (even for perfectly rational agents and no communication): if an agent decided to vote, he could assume all other perfectly rational agents (another usual assumption) would also take the same decision (by symmetry), so he can safely vote yes. This symmetry could only be broken if the agents have access to randomness.

Well the problem with that analysis is, what qualifies as a "line" of code?

An efficient algorithm may be punished over an inefficient one. An optimal one-liner can certainly cost a lot to develop (maybe you need a smart engineer, a lot of testing and a lot of time to figure it out) yet it would appear to be cheap.

I think building a mental model of "bad," countries vs. "good," countries is over simplistic and not really useful when comparing China to the United States. The two entities are two of the largest countries in the world both by wealth, population and area. What troubles many Chinese about the Falun Gong and American society is the instability and inherent threats that it causes to Chinese society, by way of potential destabilization of the Chinese Communist Party's central authoritarian rule. What troubles Americans and more pluralistic societies is that they believe that only through a pluralistic, representative society can human rights abuses be brought to the forefront and eliminated. What the thought is, while America has many problems and human rights abuses, China is likely perpetrating far more serious problems under the surface, on a regular basis, due to a fundamental, "Who watches the watchers?" problem inherent in a vanguard movement as opposed to a pluralistic society in which titans can hypothetically point fingers at one another as they battle for power, leveraging the common folk's sensibilities to de-seat one another.
Some lottery setups do go to positive EV when the prizes get really large, and I expect that even the powerball would if nobody wins today.

For example, the Canadian 6/49 goes to positive EV at around $40M. But Canada has higher payout ratio, no taxes and no lump sum silliness.
Exactly! With "digital copies" you don't even need to destroy them to render them useless. Just turn off the power!

Larger jackpots will sell more tickets. When half the country is buying tickets for a historic jackpot, Powerball (and therefore the States) will take in much more money than if this same jackpot was split over several drawings.

Does anyone know what percentage of urban dwellers remain in the city for their lifetime? I would imagine this number tracks inversely to the decreasing birth rate YoY decline (among this same demographic group) in the US. Specifically, I'm interested in the birthrates for the 50-75th income percentile for living in major cities (not metropolitan areas).

A couple cursory Google searches hasn't yielded any hard data, but hopefully someone has come across data on this.

tldr; I don't disagree with your assumption for decreased ownership for personal transportation, but I don't see this changing for families that live outside the Urban core until decades from now.
Probably unrelated. Many companies that work with Canadian data are required to keep it within Canada as mandated by the Canadian government, as has been for a fairly long while.

This allows those companies to use AWS rather than moving over to local hosting/compute/etc providers, and personally I have found the domestic hosting environment to be quite poor.

This is a great day for Canadian developers.

I don't think you really can. In my experience, it's in the employer's best interest to hire good people, and it's not in their best interest to be candid with you. Furthermore, even if I as an interviewer worked for a shitty company, it's still in my best interest to hire good people so that the company becomes less shitty over time. Therefore, there are very few questions you can ask that will give you a good insight as to whether a position is a dead-end job (whatever that means to you) or not. I'm not going to lie to you, but I'm also going to spin it in the most positive light I can to entice you to join my team.

At my last interview, I had a lot of success pretending that I was the one interviewing 5 people rather than being interviewed by those people. I asked a lot of questions, tried to get a sense of their day to day. It turned the interview into a bit more of a dialogue and less of an interrogation, and I think I got to see a bit more about how those people worked and what they thought during their time with me. I asked them a lot of the same questions I ask candidates when I'm interviewing them.

It worked pretty well. Got an offer. Wound up declining, because I sensed it wasn't a role I wanted, but I don't think any particular question gave me that impression.

Anyway, I don't think you can really find out in an interview. I think you'd have more luck talking to people outside of the interview or reading Glassdoor reviews, and so on.
Certificates are public, they don't need protection. The private keys do. That said you always want to store a certificate close to its private key for practical reasons.
Smart cards are useful to transform your keys into a real object that is carried around and presented upon request. They offer the interesting property that they cannot be copied or used by illegitimate users, at least not without spending horrendous amounts of time and money. When your smart card is lost or stolen you can always revoke the credentials it contains on the server side and get new ones. Much harder to know when your browser key store was stolen from your computer.
My instinct is that the increased likelihood of splits with increased prize size keeps the EV from ever crossing over into positive territory, but I haven't done the math.
It's the incredible bloat of the thing. It's weighed down so much by features that I do not want or need. I don't want SQL Server express & all the associated bloat that comes with that. I don't want IIS express and all the associated bloat that comes with that. I don't want freaking Entity Framework and its associated GUI designers. I don't want bloody "Blend for Visual Studio", I thought that crap was dead. I don't want TFS explorer - TFS is crap and everyone knows it, including Microsoft. I don't need a WPF designer UI, I don't need a WinForms designer UI. I certainly don't need a WebForms designer UI (shudder). All I want is a text editor that lets me write & debug code.

Much like what Natch says, I go about it by asking myself what this function is doing and then proceeding to name it something that mirrors that. If I find myself unable to answer then perhaps the function is doing more than it should be and that also gives me a chance to break it up into simpler functions each doing something that can easily be described by its signature.
Was wondering the same, and I can't think of a better reason than the popular adoption of ES6 arrow functions, since the thisArg was mostly used to pass in 'this' as a value.

Focus on something everyone hates, says this founder
Technical debt is a very artificial concept. With real financial debt one knows immediately the exact dollar amount, the interest rate, the payment terms and so forth. There is usually no ambiguity or judgment. In contrast, technical debt is based on theories about software development and uncertain predictions about future changes to the software. As the old saying goes: "prediction is hard, especially about the future."

As a business, if I buy a computer on a company credit card, I know immediately that I owe $1200.00 at 23 percent interest per year. In contrast, if I develop a piece of software and decide to use global variables to speed up development, I may immediately gain a mythical man-month in development time BUT I have no idea how much it may slow me down in the future if at all. Sometimes global variables are the way to go and development will be consistently faster for the entire lifetime of the software compared to using local variables. This tends to happen, not surprisingly, when the data in the global variables needs to be used widely throughout the program.

Well, machine learning might not enlighten us to understand actual intelligence. There is no reason why actual intelligence can't simply be modeled by (and function like) a giant neural network. Many of us hope there is some form of symbolic intelligence deeper than just stochastic models or neural nets, but we really don't know.

Why is it that "it's more art than science" gets so much use, whereas "it's more science than art" is never used? We use the former to explain why a given process is not deterministic -- for example, appraising artwork, drafting a business plan. Why is it never necessary to explain that a process is deterministic?
The employee was using the same messenger session for both professional and personal actions. Part of the ruling was that it was reasonable for the employer to check the logs of the session, because it was ostensibly being used for professional actions.

It seems like term limits on critical lottery employees would be a good idea, regardless.
It's one of those pieces of advice that is hard to say it's wrong exactly. However, for many professional employees at a great many companies, it's pretty extreme as practical advice. There are some sensible practices like keeping work email and personal email separate and, for both your own and work devices, following whatever infosec policies there are around encryption, VPNs, and so forth.

But, in general, never do X advice can be actively harmful because it advises people against doing things that very many do without repercussions and causes people to ignore advice that it's important to follow.
My point is that the fire in our Chicago datacenter is unfortunate but everything is trivially replicated to Seattle and London. A fire at a physical library usually means total loss of original works, many of which may not exist everywhere. Especially if we're considering "seed store" scenarios. Paper also takes a lot of space, so the amount of data you can store in a facility for x amount of cost will be much less, now you have to employ "curators" to decide whats important instead of just copying everything on the much cheaper digital medium.
That's still a bit slower than it needs to be. The real trick to doing something like is seeing that we have 10(18x16) = 10(17^2 - 1) = 10(289-1)

You'd think that, but I get the idea that you're figuring that there's a relatively even distribution of picked numbers across the entire available set.

Historically there's a higher than average representation of numbers 31 and under (birthdays, anniversaries, special events), which means that there are going to be gaps; especially now that the highest possible white number drawn has been increased to 69.

I imagine that there are lots of duplicate tickets out there, for certain number combinations, and lots of (potential) tickets with combinations that haven't been purchased.

Cool!

A co-TA and I ported the concurrency library in JOS, MIT's teaching operating system, to regular UNIX:

https://github.com/geofft/vireo

It uses the standard-ish library functions setcontext and getcontext to avoid an assembly dependency. ("POSIX.1-2008 removes the specification of getcontext(), citing portability issues, and recommending that applications be rewritten to use POSIX threads instead.")

My opinion:
“I don’t want to sound arrogant,”
This is critical, remember Ballmer dismissing the iPhone? and Blackberry... and telcos...

"Apple doesn’t know how to handle a supply chain, or market its wares" that could also mean they can disrupt and disruption points are associated with market changes (check vapor engine vs fuel or iPhone vs every other phone).

“We are going to build smart cars, but we also need to build smart roads, smart parking, smart public transportation systems, and more,” and this is the critical point, I'm old in tech years... and I like my clockwork internal combustion engines, I like to be able to drive them but the future people may not, getting what that future mass wants is the million dollar goal.
For example... people may not want a car but to get somewhere and for example in NY that sound more rational than in TX, can we build a company around providing "Car as a service" (you hear it first here from xlayn :p)

"the Ford executives believe that the firm’s in-house tech expertise is under-appreciated" or it can also mean they could leverage someone else expertise... (this is a question, I don't really know the answer).

Last but not least... he want's to get the company into something while keeping the strong advantage they have in what they are strong and not becoming a hipster startup (as in lets make a trillion dollar company around 140 characters but there is no revenue model)...

I had a summer job at a help desk once. Pretty much the only career progression for those guys on the phone were moving up to being the manager of them and still taking some phone calls when the lines were swamped. After that, there wasn't much else the company would do with you unless you had a bachelors and some certs.

Just asking about the manager position would have been a pretty clear sign that its a dead end job. It wasn't a hard job and they all got paid pretty well for help desk but it wasn't that enjoyable for anyone there.

> The comment made the original assertion that LGPL versions 2.1 and 3 differ in that the changes in 3 makes it incompatible with App Store, where 2.1 was not. That's a strong claim, and the onus is on that person to back it up.

Where was that claim made? The question was brought up if the LGPLv3 is compatible with the app store and it was mentioned that LGPLv2 code is presently being distributed via the app store.

> If you're actually interested in LGPLv2.1/App Store compatibility, the issue is so well-discussed that you can turn something up by searching for yourself.

It actually is not. There are various different opinions with regards to the LPGLv2 compatibility with the app store but there has not been any definite (eg: the FSF mentioned anything) answers to this dilemma. In particular many of these discussions predate the current state of affairs with regards to iOS where dynamic linking is now possible.

> A scenario where someone puts a claim out there, someone challenges it, and then the challenger is told, "well prove it's not true", is not the proper thing

I don't remember making a claim. I precisely mentioned that from my understanding the distribution of LPGv2 software on the app store is possible judging by what is actively being done. Something that cannot be said for any other *GPL license.

In any case none of this has been challenged in court so any of this is interpretation of a license by random people on the internet with more or less credibility on the topic.

If you can recommend any bash package I will share it there also. I write a lot on js, so actually it will be easy to write npm package and share it. Besides, if you know how to made similar packages (I mean console utility) for other package managers, such as pip, gem or whatever else, I'll be very glad to merge and share it.

BTW, Homebrew package will be soon.
I didn't say that it was a licence problem.

Many companies have legal departments that forbid any form of GPL software.

I had customers that any third party dependency required legal approval before being used in the code.
