Why, yes, if we remove all the humans that do the scamming, then the scam industry disappears. Actually, all we have to do is make the work so unpleasant that very few people will do it, and then only at a high wage, which renders the whole scamming thing uneconomical. And then it disappears.

With respect to the 3rd Reich, the Allies didn't let people who pled that they were only following orders off the hook. Neither would most moral philosophers today. If you know you're scamming people, and the "service" reps for Cardholder Services certainly do know tht, then you're morally accountable.

If all (or the large plurality) of us would listen to the robocall, hit 1 or 5 or whatever to get to a human, and then waste the human's time, the telemarketers would end up out of business.

Of course, if the FCC did it's damn job, and enforced valid caller ID, the whole thing would go away, too. The fact that this hasn't happened is a crying shame, and indicative of some major failures in the US Federal government.
>BTW, there's no such thing as "another solar system": there is only one Solar system, and that's our own. It's called that because our star is called "Sol", hence "Solar". Other systems are "star systems".)

>Basically, you just need to create a large spacecraft which can accelerate continuously at 1g. Then, you point the craft to Alpha Centauri and accelerate at 1g for half the distance, then spin around and decelerate at 1g for the second half. With 1g acceleration, you don't need artificial gravity. And the trip should take less 4 years from what I read here:

You would need a colossal amount of energy to maintain that acceleration. I would believe 8 years, but the system is already 4 light years away.

> However, even in case the attacker is able to do so, the watch would still inform the user when the PC is unlocked. And the user can manually force a lock, from the watch, overriding the proximity/signal strength.

It's better than nothing, but the user is likely to think of it as a malfunction if they are far away (e.g. at a coffee shop), and the watch may not actually be physically on them at the time either.

And a second is really enough to plant malware on a computer; you can already buy a USB stick which types in commands much faster than a human: http://hakshop.myshopify.com/products/usb-rubber-ducky-delux...

We are a small team working on transforming the child care industry and helping countless parents in the process. We care deeply about the quality of the service we provide but we also pride ourselves on the wellbeing and happiness of our team. Our day to day usually involves a standup around 10am, a few 10 minute exercise breaks throughout the day, and we normally tie things up between 6pm and 7pm.

We're looking for an experienced front-end engineer to lead client-side Javascript development and grow both our internal and customer facing web clients. Because of the small size of our team, we love engineers who feel comfortable across the whole stack but specialize in something they love!

Skills We Are Looking For:

* 5+ Years of client-side Javascript development
* Deep knowledge of React, Angular, Backbone, or another client-side framework
* Experience with UI/UX testing

Bonus:

* Design chops
* A portfolio which showcases your previous work
* A Github account with cool projects in it
* Experience with server-side technologies (Ruby, Python, PHP, etc)
* Mobile development experience

For me, being a useful piece of opinionated software means "hey, we want you to do things this way."

Then rely on the users being smart enough to not hang themselves with the rope given.

What you're talking about is, as you said, bad management. The reason opinionated software comes and goes, and JIRA stays is specifically because just like you can build sync on top of async, you can build opinionated on top of flexible, but not vice versa.
I was an early adopter of Tableau and fairly enthusiastic. But then I had a truly terrible licencing experience with them and have, since, refused to have ANYTHING to do with them.

Nice enough software, but a sleazy organisation. Use one of the other good alternatives.
I am not familiar enough with the quirks of glibc name resolution to say much more than a lot of my stuff relies on binaries compiled against it. Who, in your opinion is to blame here, and what can we do to fix it?
Gradient descent is guaranteed to move the parameters closer to a more fit solution. That's almost the definition of GD. I guess you are saying that we don't know why it doesn't just get stuck in local optimas?

I'm not certain, but for one, stochastic gradient descent is usually used, which helps break out of local optimas. And second, they don't seem to be as much of a problem as you add more hidden units. I was under the impression there was a mathematical explanation for both of those, though I haven't done much research.

Off the top of my head, I think as you add infinite hidden units, a subset of them will fit the function exactly just by chance, and gradient descent will only increase their parameters. In fact as long as they are in some large possibility space of the correct solution, GD can move the parameters downhill to the optimal solution. Not that we even want the optimal solution, just a good enough one.
Citation definitely needed, and thanks for the key. I'll follow up with said evidence.
Yes! Been there, done that. So much of lab technique is hard to explain in words. People do postdocs and sabbaticals in order to learn technique. And then there are uncontrolled variables. Classic example:

> When a student had difficulty in crystallizing a compound [professors] would simply shake their beards over the flask containing the offending substance. Then, lo and behold, after nucleation had done its job, crystallization set in. Gerhard believed that the beard of an Adolf von Baeyer or an Otto Wallach could indeed be a source of crystals of every conceivable space group.

Tenant protection laws in NYC are very tenant-friendly, to a degree where someone who is sufficiently motivated and knows the system can effectively live in an apartment rent-free for up to a year at a time, if not longer.

Landlords are scared to death of deadbeat tenants like this, it costs a lot of legal fees to get rid of them, and they're freeloading while you're walking through the necessary legal processes.

Every time the apartment goes onto the market they're rolling the dice again - so the value of an existing pleasant tenant is substantial vs. the risk of a tenant of unknown quality.

Which isn't to say you can just get your rent slashed whenever you want, but it's part of the negotiation, and coupled with a recession it can be a powerful argument.
I more or less tripled an (absurdly low) salary not that many years ago thanks to being warned to dodge the trap questions about previous comp and how much I 'need to get by' or such.

Looking back, I still made some mistakes, because my comp shot up by over 10% in a mid-year adjustment after they found out how well I was performing as the job itself was a really good fit for both of us.

Anyhow, that's some incredibly valuable advice and I'm glad for threads like these cluing me in on how the game works.
a state can only not make international treaties if it give up that right. states can give out citizenship based on their own criteria (http://patriotaction.net/profiles/blogs/texas-naturalized-ci...).

can states impose import duties? yes (http://www.dutycalculator.com/dc/187995051/food-drinks/fruit...)

For Google at least, those numbers are pretty much spot on.

is that an assertion? based on your say so? or was there some reasoning behind that statement, that you'd like to share?
On fedora, you can do something like

mkdir /tmp/myimage
dnf --releasever=23 --installroot=/tmp/myimage install <package-name>
rm -rf /tmp/myimage/var/cache/dnf
tar zcvf - /tmp/myimage | docker import - myimage

Gives you an image that is ~30M (15M compressed) plus the size of whatever package you are installing. The advantage is that you get access to Fedora's package database with security updates.

This could probably be slimmed down further with custom versions of the base packages.

Programming is ultimately about systems.

There's a recent talk [1] by Mary Shaw from Carnegie-Mellon University (CMU). It's about what has happened since the NATO conference in 1968 (dubbed the Software Crisis), and what engineering means in software engineering.

According to their survey, the American workplace consists of ~90 million "casual" programmers, and ~2.5 million highly trained software engineers, and there's a need to get more programmers into the engineering aspects.

What makes you say no one was using it (my understanding is the opposite), and that most certainly does not lead to your conclusion even if the first part is true.

The Geography of Genius [video]
Nice, I will give it a try. I've installed templeOS in a VM before and played around with it. I really like the concept of a graphical console, being able to literally put images right into source code and the C++ like shell that uses some kind of JIT compiler, it's different, and interesting.
My point was clear. The demo wasn't a demo. He showed and told NOTHING about how the product actually works.
What do you sell?
So what if you're one of those new hires (or hope to be one)?

I'd say keep polishing your resume. If you dropped out of school, look for a school with low tuition that isn't University of Phoenix but finish your degree. Stay on your toes: work your way through to graduation, get internships each September (as much as you can).

And though the retire-as-a-millionaire thing might have vanished, you'll land on your feet.

this is a huge blocker - we are already in a world where RPM and DEB dont get released in tandem. And it has taken millions of man hours to resolve deep problems in dependency resolution, circular dependencies,etc.

For a startup like mine, I already estimate I'm installing hundreds of libraries (Ruby gems, Python wheels, etc). I'm pretty sure some of them are weird dependencies... but I have come to trust apt and dnf.

There is zero reason for me to trust Alpine's new package manager that is managed by a single dev. Disk space is cheap - my time is not.

This is the big blocker - if Alpine can figure out a way to co-exist with apt or dnf (pick your own poison), that makes it compelling.

But then again, I would ask - can something like Alpine be achieved with debian or centos. Even if it is 3X the size (30mb) ?

EDIT: I run a fat docker VM based on debian with nginx, rsyslog, postgresql and ruby+puma using supervisord. There is absolutely ZERO need for OpenRC. I have been running this in production for over 18 months since before Docker was this stable.

I bought a preloved 7yo Toshiba from the local pawn shop for $AU50. It came with a 3 month warranty but is still alive 7 months later. Specs are adequate for my university studies.

Replacement 3 hour battery for $AU15 + shipping on ebay. I didn't check what a "genuine" one costs or if they're even still made but I suspect it would be more than I'd paid for the machine.
I am only ever in the market for co-founder jobs, and not really looking at the moment, because I really like my current co-founder job. Besides good domain knowledge, and preferably an existing customer base, the non-technical co-founder will need to find enough money for the startup to survive until the inflection point. Otherwise, they are 12 in a dozen. If a potential non-technical co-founder wants to save money by not paying enough, it is quite easy to cut the discussion short and to move on to another candidate -- entire websites full of them. There is really no shortage there. Lather, rinse, repeat. Salary history? Sounds like a ridiculous concept. I don't even remember my previous salaries.
I would really like to know this, too!
There are a few possible explanations for what you saw. You can't flag direct replies to you, just like you can't downvote them. And flag links disappear after two weeks (I think), which is also the point at which voting is turned off. But in general, if you have 31 or greater karma, you see the same flag links that everyone else does.
Good job. Just tested it. The interface or design could use some work by someone good at that stuff. The functionality works as expected, though. I love the addition of the delete token and the whole self-hosted concept. Latter is main reason I looked at it. Ideal version of this app would be an easy-to-install, self-contained executable w/ a configuration file (and wizard).
Every four years they seem to do this. No surprise here.

I used to be in Addis a while back (happy to see so many people in the comments posting from A.A)

Decent internet can be tough to find outside the capital and the local telco generally reacts to service interruptions with "meh, they'll just have to deal with it" e-commerce is starting to pick up slightly but definitely has a ways to go.

The surveillance is real. I know people who are not politically active have their phones tapped, would get their new text messages read (couldn't open their inbox and would see the counts of new messages go up and down randomly) to the point where they were physically surveilled in broad daylight with plainclothes and uniformed people tailing them and entering their home (they eventually left)

There's also blame to go around for the Diaspora as well. Often times some will believe they know best just because they were educated in the West and have the false confidence to think that only their perspective is correct and will voice it adamantly (to the point where I've seen "evidence" that was clearly fabricated). Theres very little compromise when it comes to political perspectives which squashes meaningful discussions before they ever happen and exacerbates things further.

Access to the internet just isn't as high a priority there as keeping everyone on the same page when it comes to developmental priorities. There's certainly some positive signs when it comes to the speed at which things have changed in the last 10 yrs but it's important to recognize diminishing returns when you see them. I wonder if a state-led development model like Ethiopia's will be equipped at all to spot that when it happens and adapt quickly enough.
Because they compensate streams by paid users at the same rate as free users right now, and if they did that, free streams would suddenly be paid for at a lower rate.

Say what you will about TempleOS, but HolyC is actually brilliant. The same language is used for the OS, programs, and shell, the entire OS is JIT-compiled (modify the source and reboot to make changes), and it's just generally a really different way of doing things. You can also put vector graphics in source code.
In the linked article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heck_cattle (an attempt to breed back aurochs), this is amusing:

"Derek Gow, a British conservationist who operates a rare breeds farm at Lifton near Okehampton in Devon, bought a herd of 13 Heck cattle from Belgium in 2009.[15] The herd grew to 20 animals, but in January 2015 it was reported that Gow had had to slaughter most of them due to high levels of aggression, leaving just six."
As an engineer working at a "well-funded" startup, how can I prepare for the worst?
You might wonder why TempleOS is barely doing 640x480 at 30fps. The GPU is 2000 times faster than the CPU.

You really don't know what you're talking about. LNKD was not in S&P 500, "only" 8% off consensus earnings is not a small number, P/E multiples are nowhere what they were in 2000, there's been relatively little IPO activity. It's a different world. It may be a tough market but there's no basis for (most of) the numbers you are throwing around.

I could definitely see a decline in engineer salary, which could be significant in certain markets. But who knows.
It's only true to never give out your number if you have a nontrivial probability of being offered a higher salary than said number.

If you expect $X and only 5% of employers out there are willing to pay >=$X, it might very well be worth your time to state $X at the start to avoiding wasting countless hours in an interviewing process.

All the classic examples of utopian thinking expressed in literature include a slave class which forms the majority of the populace.

I am hopeful that robots and the IoT could be that permanent slave underclass for us. But, for it to work, we must be the masters of our robot slaves and not some megacorporation. If we have robots not fully under our control/leased to us, or that are constantly watching and reporting on us, then we are the indentured servants/slaves rather than the robots.

The phoning home and rental model for IoT has intractable ethical and freedom problems IMHO.
