It's one of those topics that fascinated me as well although I didn't take a specific class on it.

It's really interesting to learn that power sometimes doesn't fully come from the top and that even lower level employees can wield significant power.
Wow, what horrible advice. It might escalate if you get a restraining order? Yea, no shit, but then they can also go to jail. If someone is harassing you, silence is not the solution.

A bully might beat you up if you tell someone what they are doing, but it will more likely get you the help you need.

Maybe not for your specific situation but that is really bad advice for victims. Speak up, take action.
How can my 900 W microwave heat water quicker than my 2400 W electric kettle?
Uh, in the case of search and seizure, it explicitly is. The Fourth Amendment provides a standard for searching the property of criminals. Such searches are carried out routinely with no issues. There are other standards for "violating" other rights to privacy also.

I'm not saying criminals don't deserve rights. In fact, what's at stake here is that the Fifth Amendment does protect a mass murderer from revealing his passcode, so I'm not sure what you and all these downvoters are going on about. If criminals didn't have rights there wouldn't be an issue here.

If the passcode on the phone were crackable, it would be absolutely 100% legal to search it. And that kind of thing happens routinely. The issue at stake is not searching the phone, but compelling Apple to help with the search.

I appreciated your response. I get the idea of the "better approach" and I liked that you admitted on the front side that .." who knows, may actually work. Probably not though...".

I don't think that's what the author had in mind ("talk to your parents"). That wouldn't be that bad.

Maybe, but even if that's the case, it only applies to UK's own Three ISP, Adblock Plus, and the new Brave browser.

So don't go after "adblocking". Go after those making deals with certain companies to allow ads, while blocking everyone else.
>How difficult is it to duplicate Serum-esque wavetable generation using ChucK or CSound?

Serum-esque? Sure, selecting waveforms from a lookup table isn't difficult. However implementing clean sounding alias-free oscillators that can themselves be modulated at audio rate and so on requires years of accumulated domain knowledge. On top of that serum has all kinds of fancy features, such as the ability to import wave files and generate good-sounding wavetables from them, high quality filters, (look up zero-delay-feedback filters) complex modulation routing and most importantly, a GUI that lets you navigate all this complexity and actually compose music with it.

>you would have a lot more freedom using raw math over visual gui.

Exactly. Freedom is the enemy of creativity. Hence why the majority of max/msp users don't actually make music with it. The more layers of abstraction and choices there are standing between your musical idea and making actual sounds, the harder it is to ever realise those ideas. By the time you've finished messing around with all the technical stuff and making endless choices, you've lost the idea. Hence the endless appeal of the acoustic guitar and human voice combo.

It's certainly possible to make music the other way around, where you let the machines have the ideas and you simply guide them, but it's a very different thing. Using pure math and code really shines here, as well as modular synthesis equipment.

EDIT: talking of modular, Waldorf, the german company who pioneered wavetable synths in the 90s (you'll take my uWave XT from my cold dead hands!) have just released a wavetable-based eurorack module, and it's pretty extra-crunchy, no anti aliasing here ;)

I'm a Senior Full-Stack Software Developer+Engineer born and living in the US with 14 years experience. I have a job right now, but I'm in the "Active Looking" status. I'm remote only, but would like to visit the company once in a while. I know how to ship. Hit me up.
Good luck with that. Your ISP might politely explain to you that they don't have any real competition.
Not likely in my opinion. This is not without precedent, there's been several EDM artists who have not thought twice of doing a studio shot with some cracked plugin exposed.

This includes some big EDM names that really should have known better, given that anything like that is bound to generate many articles (Martin Garrix, Avicii, and Steve Aoki were the previous "big name offenders" exposed for showing pirate copies of Sylenth1 in videos). More to the point, several less known DJs have done things (like say a demo for Future Music) where eagle eyes will spot pirated synths there too.

It's pretty clear that Kanye didn't install a popup blocker while visiting The Pirate Bay; if he actually knew what he was doing, surely he'd at least do that, right? :)

The one with 3x more suicides?
I have a house with nearly 40 light switches. Being able to turn groups of them on and off in coordination is very nice. Hitting one button and having all of the lights desired for dinner guests is cool. Turning off the lights in the TV room, and having them automatically come back on when I pause the movie or turn off the TV is convenient. Switching off all the lights in the house when I go to bed (rather than trudging back downstairs because I forgot to turn off a single light in the kitchen) is really handy.

None of this stuff is life-changing, but it's a very nice convenience and I find it well worth the (really minor) trouble. Though I'm using a zwave-based system, not wifi switches.

Edit: Also, crucially, our system works "as expected" if you don't know anything about it. I've never had a guest surprised or baffled by it, and it works fine if the network and/or controller is down. In some cases a single switch may turn on more than one light, but not in a weird or surprising way -- generally closer to "why didn't they just wire it that way in the first place?"

Oh yes they do. As far as I can tell, it still has the monopoly in film music editing, at the very least. Otherwise I agree with you on all accounts.
Nobody said it here yet, so I just wanted to mention that the design of this blog is really nice. I love the font, links, blockquotes and chapter title images.

It also rendered equally nicely on my android phone and my desktop browser.

I saw that the author has a github repo for an older blog style for jekyl, but I'd like to see a similar thing for this one.

Thanks

It will be hard to build a good company even if everyone sits together...heck, it will be hard to build a bad one. I don't necessarily think that remote is or is not the answer, but finding the right person regardless of where that person lives and what that person needs is the problem.

I'd add that extrapolating from consultants to employees is fraught with hazard [the same is true for extrapolating from employee to consultant]. The context for the relationship is different. Anyway, reducing management overhead should not be a goal...managing people is a full time job. Probably one of the hardest ones out there when done well.

Think about it this way: somehow the company leadership views people doing a fantastic job as unsatisfactory. Despite needing to ramp up staffing. Is that an attractive culture to potential hires?

Good luck.
The situation for the genders is asymmetric and so the effects of non-conformance have different outcomes. If I had to post an "all lives matter" argument in a thread about racism on blacks it would absolutely be downplaying racism, even if the statement is technically correct.

Hey Kenji, just FYI, I find something a little off-putting in using "midget porn" as the example of something worse.

Maybe I've become overly sensitive to possibly hurtful language in this era of codes of conduct, microaggressions, trigger words, etc. But I think it's marginalizing to use the sexuality of a segment of people (consenting adults, let's assume) as something shameful. I've also read that midget is considered a derogatory slur by many in that community.

Anyway, I'm not trying to condemn you, because I know you didn't mean anything hurtful or negative. You're just using the phrase as a generic example of sexual deviancy. And sexual deviancy is inherently embarrassing in our Puritanical culture – and worse from a PR perspective.

And like I said, I might be way off base here. I might be that annoying guy in the conversation who isn't actually offended but thinks someone else might possibly be offended. But since we're all focused on being more inclusive these days, I thought it was worth saying something. I say accidentally-possibly-exclusionary shit like this all the time – part of the reason I'm more vigilant about it lately, trying to improve my own behavior. :)
Many people are uncomfortable talking about or negotiating salary. So the feedback you are receiving might just be a candidate's polite way of reframing their choice that was actually based on salary.

Also, are you factoring equity into the total value of your offer when you say something like '20% more than ...'? I'm not sure it would be reasonable if you are. I experienced a start-up offer once that handled it that way. There was a base salary offer, then a listing of stock options and their current value, and then the "offer" was equal to the sum of the two. That showed me the company has a serious flaw in understanding the riskiness of their own stock, or in empathizing with people who can't use stock options to pay the rent, or both.
This is a funny statement to me, since the initial federalization was supposed to exist without predisposing a much greater exercise in states rights than what we see today. (far fewer constraints on state law from federal)

I'd adjust your statement: "What you are suggesting would only work if the level (of federal power we have NOW) didn't exist"

That all being said, I'm not even sure my full level of pessimism is merited; certain states had been independently experimenting with e.g. health care reform 10+ years ago which ended up forming the basis for the ACA. This sort of state based trial seems like it s exactly what the parent was suggesting, and what was alluded to in Brandeis's famous "Laboratories of democracy" quote that seems very apt to this discussion.
The whole writeup suggested the writer had an enormous chip on his shoulder for some reason; turns out you had to read to the end to find out what it was. Honestly, it sounds more like he didn't get into a top MBA program, and is paying the price. MBA programs are like law schools; the cost-benefit hinges enormously on how well the program is regarded.

Came in thinking I read Google, left disappointed.
Have these people even READ Riley v. California[1]? To quote from the majority opinion:

"modern cell phones, [...] are now such a pervasive and insistent part of daily life that the proverbial visitor from Mars might conclude they were an important feature of human anatomy. [...] Cell phones, however, place vast quantities of personal information literally in the hands of individuals.

The argument with Apple is not the same question as the (now settled) situation where there is no warrant, but clearly cell phones need to be treated specially.

I think if drugs themselves were legalized, non-violent drug offenders pardoned, and then former drug trafficking cartels treated legally as terrorist organizations - we would get somewhere. I really have no problem tight packing prisons if it's full of violent thugs. The only problem is how this could potentially affect the second amendment - because the war on drugs would no longer be on unarmed drug users, it would be solely on violence. Using an umbrella term like terrorism to encompass the actions of cartel gang members could potentially lead to further racial divides. It's tough. But legalize pot please, ha!

I will have to look closer at Qt, then. The last time I looked at it, it seemed like it required a hefty licensing fee for commercial use and building forms required use of their janky editor. But that was a while ago, so it could have changed. The only proprietary editor I have room for in my life is Visual Studio, and even that is begrudging.
It might be referring to the "daisy chain" wiring, which means that every plug has the fuse inside the actual plug itself. This is why UK plugs are so huge. The reason for this is after WWII there was a copper shortage and it was cheaper to wire houses this way.
True, the analogy isn't perfect, but I think it serves as a model for designing and marketing substances that are cheap, addictive, and ultimately toxic.

We're a small, developer run, consultancy that works on great and beautiful apps (iOS, Android) for select clients. Several of them have been featured by Apple on the App Store and are used by thousands of users daily. https://evenly.io/projects/

We have several exciting projects upcoming, where we would like your expertise.

Using native tools, that just work right is one of our core principles. Taking advantage of Apple's newest technologies and platform features is important to us. E.g. we're writing our new Apple TV apps in Swift: https://evenly.io/projects/digital-concert-hall-tvos/

Our cozy office in Kreuzberg has comfy chairs, new hardware, free organic fruit, and free drinks (including 5 kinds of Mate and beer). Overtime is very rare, vacation days are above average, visiting developer conferences is encouraged.

The question that Apple and the EFF are addressing is slightly different. Not "can the company own your personal data", but "does the company ALWAYS own your personal data even if they WANT to let you own it." We already have established law that says the Government can demand any data a company has on you, without even needing much of a reason and without triggering most 4th amendment protections.
While I take mild offense at your characterization (#notallwomen!), I will point out that many women are trained from a very young age to make those excuses and not set boundaries. They have to hug the family member who creeps on them because else they are rude; they can't hit back the kid who hit them first and they're told to think, "Maybe he's having a bad day -- you should give him a hug instead!"

For fun, check out the time out chairs at this Etsy shop: https://www.etsy.com/listing/247648122/boys-and-girls-time-o... Girls are supposed to be nice and listen.

Can you please not suggest such things? It gives the idiots ideas.

Let me just break it four different ways in three seconds to prove the point. Tor is not suitable for torrenting because the relays don't have enough bandwidth, but hosting a trivial website like this requires very little bandwidth so that wouldn't be a problem, and Tor relays use TCP port 443. Similarly, anyone using a VPN would be unaffected. And unless what you've described was done by by every ISP everywhere in the world, people on ISPs that did it could still connect to everyone on an ISP that didn't do it and the site would remain available everywhere. And, because a site like this would require very little bandwidth per user, throttling would be completely ineffective anyway.

But your proposal would violate network neutrality and interfere with the nascent movement to decentralize things back from having everything go through Facebook, so no.

That said, if one suspects that humanity will not be able to construct powerful computer systems in a provably friendly manner ("friendly AI"), shouldn't we step back and question this Promethean effort?

I know this is what AI researchers caution against - hysteria stunting basic science research, AI winters, etc. However, if someone speculates that any progress in AI research leads us down a path that, in the long term you speak of, will eventually cause humanity to suffer, then shouldn't he or she do everything they can to stop it?

Of course, whether or not it is feasible to stop technological progress is a separate question.

Zynga needs another hit. Perhaps they should sponsor a sort of games XEROX PARC within Zynga to attempt a more speculative and R&D-based approach. From my non-insider perspective, Zynga is not investing anything new in terms of intellectual or human capital. They are depleting their existing assets, just as they are wringing cash from their physical real estate. The company is currently being run like an old hotel that is no longer stylish, but can still produce some net cashflow as long as necessary repairs are neglected.

this fact is what makes the experiment perfect. If people all move from one place because of poor policy it will give that state the incentive to adjust their policy. People should have the freedom to chose the goverment that is most inline with their values. Forcing someone to stay somewhere and pay taxes to a say unjust war or something they are morally opposed to seem to be a terrible existence.
