Unless you know the source language, and have some sort of reverse-compiler (or source maps), then getting back to a readable/usable source isn't so easy. Though that doesn't mean you can't trace through what goes down the wire, it won't be quite as low-level as x86 assembly, but will be lower level than most are comfortable with.
I think the scaling is roughly reasonable. In chess National Master is is ELO 2200–2399, and above that is Grand Master, with lower ELO being skilled and club players. In Go, 0-30kyu is amateur (club player trough master), 1-7 dan is advanced amateur (basically master, based on there being few in this category), and 1-9p is grand master. Based on that the graph accurately portrays the rise of Go AIs up to 2011:
Year	KGS Rank
2009	1-dan
2010	3-dan
2011	4-dan
2012	5-dan

The scaling is not exact but I think it conveys the basic facts correctly - by 2011/2012 there well Go programs that could play well better than the average club player.
Generally speaking, the law wins.

That's the exception that proves the rule. So concerned were we about torture that we constitutionally prohibited coerced self-testimony. What other form of search does the constitution bar from judges? You can't say "the unreasonable kind!", because the constitutional definition of "reasonable" is "whatever the Supreme Court says it is".

Source of the famous “Now you have two problems” quote
I did some testing earlier this year on a well trafficked YC companies site (so something with a pretty technical audience) and it was around 40% Ad Blocking and half of that analytics blocking.

The overall portion of a sites visitors doing blocking is all over the place (from 10-50%), but the Ad / Analytics blocking ratio has been pretty steady at around half.

As blocker users shift from ADP to uBlock (for performance or b/c they don't like 'acceptable ads') I suspect that ratio to really go up.

Nowadays, at least for their engineering internships, they have a pre-filled list of top schools to choose from followed by an "other" option (at least when I tried applying a couple years ago).

The collection of evidence (more broadly: the investigation of crimes) is one of the core purposes to which the state's monopoly on violence is applied, so the issues are the same.
No we did not see it had much of an impact. But what we saw had the biggest impact is our website! We refined it a lot based on customer interviews to make sure to convey the worth of the product (which was lacking in the previous version). Also customers had a lot of questions, which is not good for sales. As soon as we put the new website up, sales increased!

Sadly, I'm neither an AI researcher nor a Go player; I think I've played less than 10 games. I don't know if we truly understand how great Go players play. About 10 years ago, when I was interested in Go computer players, I read a paper (I can't remember the title, unfortunately) that claimed that the greatest Go players cannot explain why they play the way the do, and frequently mention their use of intuition. If this is true, then we don't know how a human plays. Maybe there is a different thought process which doesn't involve backtracking a tree.
I think that a home nas would have a lot of async writes and very few/none sync writes. So a ZIL dedicated device (the SLOG) is not really useful/helpful. I'm not sure even if you really need an L2ARC device, just slap 8/16Gb of RAM on it and you will be happy...

Obviously if you are playing seriously with VMs and databases and whatever else both of those (SLOG/L2ARC) may become important for you, I'm going for the "i'm just using this to store my raw-format photos, backups for the taxes and other big files" kind of usage here. :)

>denominator has no relevance to how selective

Thank you for confirming that you were using the colloquial version of "selectivity" which doesn't require knowing the denominator instead of mathematical "selectivity" which does.

You're using "selective" like this definition: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/selective

I was using "selective" like this: http://www.programmerinterview.com/index.php/database-sql/ca...

The following wiki page ranks college selectivity and it absolutely requires the denominator to do so: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rankings_of_universities_in_th...

That wiki page orders the ranking on mathematical selectivity and not colloquial selectivity. My previous comment of Google Inc being more "selective" than Harvard is to be interpreted as mathematical selectivity. Sorry for not stating it more explicitly to prevent confusion.
It's really important to have a plan for this. We were not prepared and got blindsided and it took basically the whole teams effort for a couple of days before we systematized it.

There should be a good balance between not exploiting peoples fear but also realizing that at some point you have to react.

> They're still behind in effective brain development no matter what.

The whole point of the article is they were "finding" 20-100% of the younger members of the same grade level had ADHD. ADHD shouldn't be detected at 20-100% higher rates at 6 instead of 7 at the same grade level if the process was working correctly.

That isn't okay. Period.

Maybe I take this a bit personally because I have a friend who had all 3 kids who were misdiagnosed at 7-8 and at 8-9 they were told they were "normal" and to stop medication.

ADHD doesn't magically cure itself in a year.
When many valley companies look for senior people (and they do), they still use the same mechanisms to hire those 30 somethings out of consulting firms. And that's when they have a 1/4 on site to offer ratio(es, that's an actual ratio of senior engineers that pass the phone screening.

In one case I know, the interviewing + travel took two work days and two nights. That's thousands of dollars for a consultant! Add to that the grand or so of travel expenses for the company, interviewer time and overall, every senior hire costs applicants + company well over ten thousand dollars, past paying the recruiting team.

Compare that to a company that does the whole process over Hangouts/ScreenHero. The waste is amazing.
It used to be only particle physics, then only physics, but my impression is they expand to fit whatever. I'm sure they wouldn't mind expanding, but probably some of it is they don't have experts/money to help out with some of the organizational things they typically do for a field.
A lot of people are probably not into this because it won't help with their individual survival. I don't think many people care about the survival of the human species if they themselves are left out.

Snowden Responds to Obama After SXSW Keynote
WASM can't talk to the DOM directly, you'll still need JS, or a compile-to binding layer.

That said, modern JS, aside from getting all the tooling bootstrapped, is pretty nice to work with imho. There are also a lot of compile-to-js options, and with better sourcemap support, it's pretty clean to use.

wasm will lean heavily towards code that needs to be more secure, as well as code that needs absolute performance (gaming mostly)...

As to security, using a redux-like workflow, where all action creators use message calls to a websocket connected server-side redux store, then the updates dispatched to the client's store to the UI, so that all logic is at the server would probably be a cleaner and more secure abstraction than wasm though.

My comment was about positive or negative stuff generally, not about relationships per se. I do focus on the positive. So far, my experience has been that gets less attention when I share it than something people can have a good fit or fight over.

Maybe I still have things to learn. Maybe I will eventually figure out how to share positives in a way that garners substantial attention. But, so far, my observations suggest that, even on HN, there is more attention given to "bad news" than to good.

What "clear limits" are you referring to? Remember, this case is about the limits judges have in compelling the production of evidence. What are the limits on that authority?

It's unclear whether you will eventually be compelled into decrypting documents. One circuit says you can't be, because of 5A. But that ruling was situational, and other courts might rule otherwise. Certainly I don't personally agree with the logic that compelled decryption is necessarily testimonial in nature, any more than opening a safe for which only you have the combination is testimony. The primary purpose of the ban on coerced self-testimony is to prevent bogus confessions elicited under torture. That's not at issue here.

http://www.gwern.net/Terrorism%20is%20not%20Effective

Frankly, terrorists have been around for a long time, and they didn't do shit before 9/11 and they haven't done shit since.

If there were an alternate world where 9/11 happened once a month every month (so, 36k people die due to terrorism every year), that would be equivalent to approximately the US car accidents per year (well, technically that's only ten 9/11's worth, not twelve, but whatever).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_motor_vehicle_deaths_i...

And remember, 9/11 only happened once in the last century, so if statistics hold up we're good to go, and we have a spare few billions per year that were funded the TSA.

The whole point of a warrant is to allow investigators to resolve the question of whether evidence is or isn't located somewhere. By your logic, any time a judge issues a warrant, they might as well issue a conviction at the same time, because the question of what the evidence says needs (in your view) to be settled before the warrant issues!

Massive? No. Assuming their Apple devices didn't also suddenly stop existing, they'd have a little pain with transitioning to alternatives. There are plenty of alternatives out there to Apple products right now, and with Apple corporation suddenly winked out of existence, that'd leave a big gap for other competitors to take over that space. If anyone is completely and utterly dependent on Apple for their livelihood, that's really their own dumb fault. Nothing apple does is all that critical that you can't get something/someone else to do it, though of course there'd be some pain in the transition. (The same goes for anyone willingly locking themselves into any proprietary vendor.)

I guess one drawback is that we'd probably see a significant uptake in Windows Phones, and they might actually get above 5% marketshare....

Anyway, MS bashing aside, my point is: Apple is just a seller of convenience, nothing they make is all that critical that it can't be replaced. Anything you can do with an iPhone, you can do with an Android phone. Anything you can do with a Mac, you can do with a Windows or Linux PC. It'd be annoying to have to get a replacement device and migrate to it and maybe new software, but "massive negative impact"? No.

Now, if everyone's Apple device suddenly winked out of existence too, that would be a bigger problem, but that's because of the data stored on those devices, not because of the devices themselves being so valuable. But as long as they kept backups of anything important (and not on Apple-branded backup devices...), that shouldn't be that hard to work around either.

But the point is, if you want to compile your JavaScript code ahead of time, you have to ship your own GC and JIT compiler, because you no longer get it "for free" from the browser's JS implementation. There's absolutely no benefit from doing this.
Given that node.js uses v8, and there are a few options for stand-alone distribution of node-based apps [1], I'm sure there will be many options (by the end of the year most likely)... Though, I'm not sure why you wouldn't take a more direct approach to building your code to different platform targets directly if you're using a compile language already... though if you're building web and want a standalone, I can see that.

> The per-capita homicide rate in the US is 5x higher than the UK and that difference is almost entirely composed of gun crime.

Is this because of the accessibility of firearms or other factors (specifically inequality and poverty)? While it's true that the US has a higher per capita rate of homicide, the impacts are not evenly distributed across society. Most Americans live in safe communities with crimes rates similar to other OECD countries. Even within cities with high rates of crime, homicide is usually restricted to a small geographic area.

As horrible as it sounds, from the perspective of species survival, poverty is not a big issue. The globalization of culture and ideology that such a movement would impose to eradicate poverty would itself be a bigger threat to survival than poverty.

Diversity of thought and culture is a huge survival benefit, and to fulfill the western fantasy of poverty eradication we would have to impose a new set of values and thoughts upon all those affected. It would have to be built on the destruction of diversity that is of higher utility than those people's welbeing.

But this is admittedly, from a perspective that would be cruel to a great many people.

I can see strong arguments for modifying cultures worldwide to lower poverty, but only in ways that promote that they find their own varied and unique solutions to the problems, rather than imposing a single solution.
