>They might be accepted as helpful in some situations, but many security professionals would weigh the privacy against added help and recommend against them in this context.

I strongly disagree that there's any privacy loss. Internal IT staff could look at your browser history and traffic if they really want to anyway (and often they are required to in specific circumstances). Why is getting IDS alerts somehow worse than this?

I would have an issue with my ISP deploying a universal IDS, but it's a different story for my employer.

>Many, hopefully most, security professionals would also disagree with requiring AV on all endpoints.

There are certainly much better endpoint protection solutions, like whitelisting agents or virtualizing everything, but those are typically difficult to deploy in a large enterprise. Are you suggesting an enterprise should have no endpoint protection at all? If better anti-malware solutions aren't an option, you need something in the meantime. It'd be rather embarrassing if your entire network gets hit with a wormer circa 2005 because you have no AV and it slipped past your other controls.

I don't run AV on my home computers, but I am very glad it's deployed on my company's endpoints.

Why do I need NPM to install this? I guess I will just have to manually get and link them...
Yep surprised they haven't rolled one out yet. Ideally placed.
No, the poster you are responding to didn't say that at all, or even imply it. Presumably the reason these cases are different, despite being symmetrical, is that if you're already pretty well off you can probably spare some benefits to yourself for benefits to others. In other words, maybe you don't need that tax break because you were already doing pretty well anyways, so help somebody else out.
27% is what they keep, I think he was implying a 73% income tax rate. What are you trying to say here?

>>Is the employee who comes in at 7am and leaves at 7pm really a better person?

By some definition yes. Some body with that sort of work ethic, definitely would convey a message of discipline, commitment and a degree of attachment to one's job.

I would rate that person far higher than a person who always shows up late and isn't half serious about their job.

Work place isn't adult day care.
On Twitter:

> I look at that and say, "Hey, that's an exciting thing to get behind!" Because they can improve that product.

I'm starting to wonder how they could improve the product. People that don't use it, seem to think it should be Facebook Jr. People that do use it generally are happy with it the way it is.

I'm in the latter group and have a hard time thinking of ways that it can be greatly improved. If it were up to me, I'd go the platform route and re-open the API and commit to keeping it open.

How has Twitter improved over the past, say, 3 years? I wish Ballmer had said more about it.
> Abortion is not a Democrat or Republican issue Don't fall into that lie. The Republicans had the White House and both Houses and did ZERO over the years they had this.

They're doing stuff in Texas and liberal groups are suing to overturn the rules. There are exceptions, but they are exceptions.

If abortion was an issue in the Democratic party, it would have come up in the debates. Not a single question in the Democratic debates had to do with abortion.

> MYTH = Republicans are Pro-Life

This kind of proves my point, actually. There are many more than two political positions here. You can be mostly pro-choice but think abortion at 8.5 months is a travesty.

> It's hard to convert this to technical requirement -- this is largely a moral requirement on someone running the service. That's the second best option -- first would be this being technicall not possible.

It's hard to imagine this idea getting traction, but one way to implement this would be to require new features to be approved by (say) a majority of active users. This could act as a brake on roll-out of creepy features (if people read before approving …), but it might also slow or retard genuine advancements (although "no to constant interface re-design" is a feature in my book).

Of course. Crying helps. Hell, I cry plenty of times when watching sappy movies.

But while crying helps, it doesn't solve.

At least not outside your immediate social circle. And even inside, only in passing as a request for help and support. Eventually you have to do something, or decide you don't care enough to solve the problem.

Children (maybe people in general?) should learn that doing is better than crying. In the case of Diablo, parents might do better to ask "So what are you going to do now? How are you rebuilding your character? Can you do it faster now that you have experience?" than to say "Oh you poor baby, that bully was super mean to you!"

One is empowering. The other is victimizing. Important difference.

> What are you trying to say here?

Taxes are too low in the US, the lowest they've been in ~100 years. They must go up, and if people in the highest income brackets make less, so be it. You're still making 7-8 figures/year. At some point, enough is enough. Who is to say what enough is? Society, the system in place enabling you to earn that money in the first place.

My apologies I wasn't getting that point across.

I don't think I can go along with the idea that a license is property. By the very nature of a license, you can't do any of that stuff with it. I'm the one, who, by nature of being granted the license, was granted the privilege the license confers (driving, practicing a specific trade, etc). It would make absolutely no sense to rent out a driver's license to someone who has not demonstrated the competency needed to get one.
The natural extension of that argument always reminds me of this: https://xkcd.com/810/

My point is that regardless of where someone sits on the political spectrum (even if I agree with them), they shouldn't have input on what should be an open platform for free speech. Twitter is most obviously not that at this point, but the language in this announcement claims that they are making these changes to help grassroots activism. What they really mean is grassroots activism that they agree with.

He also started all the things that are happening now, including Azure, Office 365, Surface, and apps on iOS and Android. Yes, even putting stuff into open source.

You could also write a long list of things Ballmer got wrong. However, that's true of all tech CEOs, including the various CEOs of IBM, HP, Dell and Sun, among others.
I doubt the ability of intelligence researchers to ultimately retain predictive capability of a self-correcting algorithm. If it is sufficiently powerful enough to be considered able to learn, the complexity embodied in even simple biological creatures shows the inherent inscrutable nature of complex systems. I was stunned that Valiant seems to really believe a complex learning-capable system would continue to remain under human control. Though I am optimistic that we will continue increasing our capacity to control these types of systems (the Human Genome Project blew everyone away with their rapid advancements, so did Google's recent Go successes, etc), I am not so quick to jump to the conclusion that we will remain dominant of them in perpetuity.

but the expiration time is relative to the redis server's time, and the time measurement on the client side is done relative to the client's time. Other clients don't care about your clock and you don't care about redis' clock AFAIK. From TFM:

> The client computes how much time elapsed in order to acquire the lock, by subtracting from the current time the timestamp obtained in step 1. If and only if the client was able to acquire the lock in the majority of the instances (at least 3), and the total time elapsed to acquire the lock is less than lock validity time, the lock is considered to be acquired.

What is wrong with new generation of programmers?
I have been interviewing programmers for last couple of weeks for full stack developer position,And really disappointed with quality of answers I've got so far .

I figured out a common trait among almost all whom I interviewed , They seems to know 'What it does' but dont know what it is or how it does.

For example, They do not know what database indexing is or how it works(They know what it does though, improve query performance, wow!)

Ask them few intermediate level sql queries to write and they would be like I did it using ORM of framework xyz.

Or at programming language level, I asked what singleton is, they replied correctly about what it does, but failed to answer how it works, and interestingly answer were different from 'experts' of different language or framework, ROR guys said it works probably by installing gem, PHP guy attempted to write class but couldnt , javascript guys usually like 'meh, I dont know'

Asked them about REST and all would correctly recite its verb and full form, but would fail miserably when you want to know from them what is purpose of doctype, Or how http works under the hood or sometimes they dont even know what is GET and POST.

I remember things were different around 10yrs back, People used to write lot of code from scratch and had less tools, I am not blaming tools or framework for it, but new gen programmer seems to be so dependent on tools that they dont even care to know about whats going on under the hood. they would just read few blogs, read tutorial of framework/tools and start calling themselves expert.

I'd really appreciate an article that explained how to say "no" to stakeholders diplomatically. Most engineers and product people understand the danger of feature bloat but are at frequently at the mercy of people who don't.

I lead a small engineering team at a product company working for non technical cofounders and this is the hardest thing about my job. Two policies I've implemented have helped me a great deal:

1) We must thoroughly discuss the problem before proposing solutions

2) New features must be discussed and fully fleshed out at least three weeks before they can be built.

We support nginx in our products, due to high demand for it, but we don't really like the way it has historically handled modules. Having to custom-build to do interesting things is very far away from the "plug and play" experience that our users expect and can get with Apache.

While I'm not on the bandwagon that says all Apache installations would be better on nginx (and I still run Apache on all of our servers, except nginx test machines), I do think this makes the case quite a bit more compelling, particularly for people who package and distribute the web server (OS vendors, control panel maintainers like me, container builders, etc.).
From a business perspective this makes a lot of sense. I have said time and time again that Facebook has absolutely deserved it's valuation (when a lot of others disagreed), and have made similar comments in regards to Snapchat. In short I'm a fan. That said, is a world in which all ad revenue is basically being filtered through 4 or 5 companies necessarily a good thing? There have been a few studies that have shown that millennials, and whatever there calling the generation after them are already largely immune to Ads. So isn't there likely a point in time as these generations become increasingly larger percentages of overall population when Ad Revenue starts to fall. If the people you want buying things in 15 years don't pay attention to ads what happens to the industry?

And in the meantime if it's Facebook, Google, Verizon, Snapchat or nothing, what happens to all the other apps and webpages currently only surviving on meager Ad Revenue if advertisers abandon them wholesale? Can something like Reddit even exist when it makes very little money on it's own and can't subsidize with Ad revenue?

Replying here since I can't reply to your deeper comment.

A client can never know with certainty that it has successfully acquired the lock because, for example, the process could freeze between reading the current time from hardware and the steady_time function returning.

Names aren't secret or private information. The agents give you their names if you talk with them. A significant portion of them are on linked in. During criminal trials their names are public record.

There is actually common ground on the abortion issue, perhaps counter-intuitively. There is overwhelming support for reducing abortion rates, for example. The American people would absolutely be OK with a compromise that includes education, increased access to birth control, and bans on abortions after, say, 8 months of gestation.
