That's a good point. One wild thing about MOS is that it's also "natural" to create gates such as AND-NOR or AND-OR-NAND or other even crazier combinations, as long as the last step is inversion. Right now I'm looking at a Z-80 gate that is three triple-input ANDs, all NORed together, and this is a single gate. Also, a pair of OR-NAND gates is a convenient way to make a latch. This may be more than anyone wants to know about gates :-)
I had a project I wanted to do that analyzes the books of public companies and finds the stocks with the best debt to equity ratio to find good ones to invest in.

The problem is that data is hard to access, and sometimes you have to pay a company to get access to it. There is this Edgar system but it is mostly XML files and I don't know how to navigate it to find the right one. I'd need an API that lets me pick each stock and return the values I want to store in a database so I can do analysis on them to find the best debt to equity ratios. When a company has a lot of debt it is usually a sign that it will struggle in the future.

But yeah Robo-Advisers are very popular right now, and banks should be scared as it takes away chunks of their business. There used to be Excel spreadsheets that did Candle Stick charts and other stuff to find stocks to pick. Stuff like that got automated into AI routines.
To be fair, it was written in 2010 back when c++11 was still c++0x and what the final feature set would be was still murky.
Compared to something like apples or oranges, raspberries are land-intensive to grow; very expensive to pick and pack; fragile; and have a short shelf life.

Fresh raspberries have always in my experience been expensive items. (Frozen, less so, because it mitigates some of those issues).

Man, I'm 37, have lived in the US for 37 years plus 9 months if you believe life starts at conception, and have a better command of the English language than many if not most, and I constantly have to look things up! I don't know if it means I'm actually not in any better command of the language than most 5th graders, or the things I read are written at a high level, or I just read enough to stumble upon new words, idioms, and phrases constantly, but whichever it is, I feel you :)

Of course when English has over 1,000,000 recognized words, who can be expected to know all of them?
I think that unfortunately you're mistaken. If all you do is sit and look at log files all day you can come off with this impression because you see so many scans go by, but that creates a bias in your thinking which doesn't line up with the facts.

A motivated attacker will always tend to try the "low tech" approaches first to rule them out as a first step because it it doesn't require as much sophisticated technical attention and in addition it's a well known fact that human beings are more often than not the weakest link in the chain of security.

It goes something like this:

1. enumerate the employees.. in other words build a list of all their work emails and try to obtain their personal emails and those of their spouses and children.

2. investigate the background of executives so that a compelling phishing email message can be crafted which looks like it originated from high up within the organization.

3. Send targeted phishing emails designed to bait people within the organization to visit webpages that exploit Adobe Flash attack vectors or other browser based vulnerabilities, or perhaps even lure them into installing a trojan directly.

4. after someone in the organization falls victim to the client-side attack, read their emails to learn more about the organization's structure so that your next phising attack can be more refined, specific, and compelling and can possibly utilize a real corporate email address.

5. Rinse and repeat until you eventually gain access to a developer laptop where you can grab production environment SSH keys. Now you own the network without even having to scan a single server and without leaving a trace in the log files.

Will it seem so arrogant and entitled when it's your job?

I recently took a cab for the first time in a long while -- I've mostly been using public transit and Uber. The cabbie was a nice 57-year-old guy who's scared that he won't be able to provide for his family in another couple of years.

Who's going to hire a 57-year-old ex-cabbie to service Uber's self-driving cars? This is a real social problem that we need to address.
Ask HN: What to do with a huge dedicated server?
Hey everyone. A few months ago I won a dedicated auction of a dedicated server but it's so powerful that I don't know what to do with it.

I allocated myself a KVM VPS inside of it with 16GB RAM, all cores (16) and 200GB Disk (Dedi has 420GB of RAID10 SAS drives) and unmetered 100mbit. I only use about 20% of that VPS.

I don't have spare IPs so I cannot create more VPSs unless I pay extra.

What would you do?
If AGI exists, it isn't on par with human level yet. No AI has reached the human level of intelligence yet. I think that is the argument that was made on it.

Many people define AGI as human level intelligence, and we're supposed to get there by 2020 or 2030 or so on when computers reach faster speeds.

In a certain way this article makes me happy. I’m all for immigration as I think it makes countries stronger, but the fact a large number of Iraqis are confidant enough in the stability of their country to return home seems a good sign.

You're describing the workflow of an APT attack. Those are extremely costly, take several months to complete and definitely involve highly technical skills. I agree they are a real threat, but not to startups, to Fortune 500 companies.

For startups, the #1 risk is a vulnerability in some web app, or a forgotten admin panel, that leaks the entire database to an attacker. Not a complex attack conducted by a nation-sponsored offensive team.

But again, SSH security matters, you should take it seriously.

The original article which sparked this issue (http://dancerscode.com/blog/why-the-open-code-of-conduct-isn...) states that CoCs will cause people to censor themselves out of fear of offending people.

I think this is fine. You should think about how you will make people feel and how people will interpret what you say. And this is good for you, too. By empathizing with the listener, you can find more diplomatic and effective ways to communicate. You'll reach more people.

And if you can't think of a way to do that (which I think is unlikely in most cases) then maybe your thoughts deserve marination and should be shared later, or perhaps not at all.

I don't think professional photographers are in danger yet. The guy was only able to succeed because of several factors: access to elections is open to everyone (he probably doesn't even need to be close if using the right lens), it isn't too difficult to take a picture of someone speaking at a podium, and if the subject is putting any energy into speaking the photo will come out looking decent. Professional photographers on the other hand have to deal with open environments with varying lighting and subjects which requires a lot more skill.

I think what he's doing is great. A creative commons is an absolute necessity in today's age. Imagine a blogger had to pay for each image they used; they wouldn't even be able to illustrate their subjects. Freely licensed content is also the lifeblood of Wikipedia, which doesn't allow images of living people under fair use. For things which can't accept amateur quality, professional work will always be available. It certainly says something about the profession if Trump's campaign is willing to choose amateur photographs over theirs: they're not selling themselves hard enough or networks are not worth as much as they used to be in today's digital age.

Thanks for the well-reasoned reply, and for the excellent link. I apologize for having lost my cool.

Yes... with programming so English-centric, we have to be understanding.
All that and reviewers who have made a name for themselves in a small-ish field can view new entrants into that field are competitors rather than collaborators.
To be fair, as someone with a fair number of doctor friends, the other side of the equation is equally important.

In the US, we have a fair number of "must be this well educated in the field to work" legal requirements in these fields. In terms of, if someone walked in off the street, tried to X, and screwed it up, then there would be fairly serious consequences of the screw up.

We expect excellence (or at least competency), which means education, which means substantial upfront monetary investment in oneself to prepare for profession X.

Certainly there's a lot of archaic & unmodernized baggage in these fields, but the basic bargain of "if you put up your own money (or borrow) to successfully train yourself in these fields, then we will provide some stability on the demand side to bound your risk."

And before it gets tossed out, no, the amount of education to become a practicing software engineer in the US is nothing like any of the above fields in terms of financial risk and calendar time learning.
I'm not sure creating content is "just as difficult".

Writing a novel hasn't changed. It's the same as 50 years ago.

Photography: there are many time consuming effects that are not longer time consuming because of digital photography and digital editing.

Music: It used to require expensive equipment which is why you'd rent a studio. Now it requires a single PC or even just a single phone to replace $$$$$ of equipment and people. In other words it used to be much more work.

Movies: digital video cameras and access to cheap software have made it much less work for a tons of things that used to be much more time consuming.

Games: all the various engines have taken away man years of work that were needed to write an engine and all the support tools.

A "short-lived victory" isn't what it used to be. Local production started 45 years after the first shipment; sounds pretty good in modern terms.
I can't believe checking for malware signature, which can be done much more easily from the browser (and is already done, indirectly and efficiently by chrome for instance), justifies MITMing everyone at great expense.

In any case, signature check is not going to be useful in any scenario of targeted attack that I can imagine.

I can easily believe, though, that some BOFH is more than happy to retrieve the amount of logs he has in the good old days of plain http.
Right, and, just to be clear, I actually wasn't trying to suggest that this downside is really justified (and I think you understand this). Mind share is important, however.
I don't pilot the planes I fly on - and I extend that exact logic to cars/trains/ferries/boats and ALL other transportation. This applies especially planes and domesticated transportation like camels and elephants. I've haven't had the need to ride a llama/alpaca (yet), but it would apply to them as well if the situation came up. Bicycles, 1-man canoes, and horses are really my only exceptions for obvious reasons.

You really can't take your car heliskiing. And you still need a bush pilot in most of the semi-remote world to get around.
It does not say it only took the name in 2012, it implies that it was named Midori by November 2007 when the name leaked, and if you are doubtful, you can check Google Books and find multiple published mentions of the MS Midori OS in books all dating to 2008 attributing it to other sources, such as a September 2008 article on Midori: https://redmondmag.com/Articles/2008/09/01/Will-Microsoft-Ta... in which there is no mention of it having been renamed recently. Since the web browser was first released in December 2007 according to WP and was extremely obscure, it is entirely probable that the OS was named either before or in total ignorance of the browser, and you are being a paranoid ass.
Felt this was glossed over. It's all well and good to not be too harsh for the reasons they mentioned, but ultimately the point is to 'peer review' the science.

In fact I would say an important "mistake reviewers make" is ... not actually doing much work. I've seen some appalling 2-3 line comments like "seems fine", even from senior academics. That's not even to talk about problems with misunderstood p-values, not reading the algorithm closely, not walking through the proof manually, and so on.
Yeah the parallel to open-source software is quite interesting. Notably that the license doesn't prohibit resale. Ultimately though, they both face the same challenges: time. The only reason the guy was able to do this was because his parents sponsored his flights and he had the free time. FOSS developers are only able to work on their projects when they have the time or sponsorship. In both cases the usually argument against them is that they are "amateur", but like we can see, amateur is usually good enough for most people as opposed to paying. Like you said, those who need custom work will be willing to pay and the software industry is doing just fine. In fact, one could argue that FOSS actually enables businesses by reducing startup costs—even big companies are known to use certain libraries.

I think that "APT" is just a fancy new word that describes a very old methodology that has been commonplace since the earliest days of computer crime. If you read about Kevin Mitnick for example he was doing this stuff in his early teens.

I think that you may have a dangerous attitude about it because in modern times it's not a question of whether or not you're a big enterprise or a startup it's a question of whether or not the dataset at the nucleus of your system would be valuable on the black market or not. If an attacker or group of attackers thinks that your dataset could be saleable one day in the future as your company continues to grow then instead of trying to buy your equity
on the secondary markets they may invest in trying to "own" your infrastructure now before you become big enough to put your employees thru white-hat training around social engineering.

I suppose my point here is that it does make sense for startups to put their team through proper white-hat training but it doesn't have to be expensive because you can roll your own. What I suspect is that in 10 years or so this kind of anti-social engineering training will be a standard for any IT knowledge workers not just programmers and will likely be part of the job interview process.

We are aruging over something moot though, since we both agree.. take it seriously.

Yup read that part and that's exactly my point.

The author hammers home how important abandonment is in a light threaded system without any mention of all the work that Erlang has been doing for years in that space. Given how much reference there is to Rust, Go and a host of other languages I would at least expect Erlang to be mentioned.

that example is intending to produce a single column result that concatenates two fields into a comma-separated string, e.g. "your name, you@somesite.com".

I think jumping into that example directly is probably kind of disorienting. The SQL in that string is a little bit weird/contorted just to illustrate, "it's text, do whatever you want!". I also wrote that example like ten years ago.
> We live in a democratic society and I believe our government should use the money we give them via taxes to help take in refugees.

This is not a zero-sum game, If government pays it via taxes they have to stop paying something else or increase taxes.

That is not what irks me most though. What irks me most is that we could help a whole lot more people, -and less fortunate people at that, if we applied the same resources in the neighboring countries instead of giving those resourceful enough to cross Europe "golden tickets".

I would be happy to pay a little extra tax for that, if I knew the money would be spent helping those poor souls that are now hunting cats in the ruins of those towns instead of the current golden tickets mostly to young men who leave their families behind,
The reason I mention fees is that if you rebalance frequently and have high fees the fees can kill your profit. Therefore when back testing any strategy one would want to account for fees. Similarly if you try do diversify using individual stocks you have to take trading fees into account and if you use ETFs there are also fees.

What you do with dividends also matters so ideally any algorithmic strategy you come up with takes that into account. For me not being in the US (Canada) currency exchange rate can at times dominate the returns.

There are a lot of newer ETF products on the market so it's going to be difficult to back test a strategy that uses ETFs.

At any rate, it looks interesting, I might play with it a little, but I don't think it works for me right now for investment purposes. I do my rebalancing yearly on a spreasdsheet :)
