Yeah that's basically the worst case. But it isn't useful in itself. Most research isn't of the type that having someone do it again would be any use.

For example, suppose you discover the structure of DNA, you try to publish but find someone already published it last year. You've just wasted a lot of time.

I don't know what the solution is.
STS information is stored in DNS records. Why would you not want to secure those?

Also, I think you're underestimating the growth of DNSSEC deployments. I've been watching DNSSEC growth for about 2 years and it is steadily moving up and to the right.
Yes, regularly. Never had to return a thing.
Amazon doesn't have the best PR lately. A few months ago it was in the news on the harsh working condition, and now it is shutting down customer accounts. Most likely Amazon has its own reason, but the information so far doesn't shed any light on if the customer has indeed abused the system.

I remember being greatly annoyed at a version of Google Hangouts that would pop up a message about certain phone numbers being too long whenever I opened SMSs from them, and then flat-out refuse to let me reply to them.

In South Africa, we have a lot of SMS services that tack five or so digits onto the ends of normal numbers as unique identifiers, so what I assume was a programmer's false belief about phone numbers did some real harm there.
There are categories of products on Amazon where the majority of the listings are counterfeit products. One could easily face returning a product 3 or four times before finding a listing that is what it claims to be (or before giving up and finding a retailer that isn't trying to defraud you).

Examples include oral-b toothbrush heads and "genuine" apple laptop batteries.
That's because the definition of "adequately" has grown faster than income. If you can reduce your standard of living to that of someone in 1973 you still can live on a single income (as demonstrated by data on real hourly comp).

Of course, the law makes it very hard to reduce your standard of living that low. For example, Obamacare and similar laws make it illegal to sell cheap 1973 insurance (the kind of insurance where you die if the cure hit the market in 1974). Cheap "unsafe" 1973 cars are also illegal. Etc.
"I suppose for a lot of basic CRUD/LOB or "enterprisey" stuff, it's important you can take essentially a typist and have them add business rules (like in Wisconsin, if the user is over 50, remove a certain discount)."

Is there really much of that stuff going on? I would have thought they would provide some kind of rules engine to the business rather than hard coding masses of it.
I can confirm nethack is a very nice game.
Other people have taken that approach, for example the HALO project in Haskell. But the imprecision of the defunctionalizaton often makes it hard to prove the properties you want, especially without static types.
Why create a new Unix-like OS? Sure, have a Unix compatibility layer, but there are so many ways to improve on Unix. Seems stupid to repeat the mistakes of the past.

Nothing stops you from suing them; if the real damages can be proved and are great enough to justify the cost of a lawsuit than it may even be worth doing. If real damages were in tens of thousands I'd at least hire a lawyer to send them a letter and see if you can get an easy settlement.

Third party Javascript is the problem, right?

Is it feasible for a domain to only accept ads with static content?

Or, for dynamic content, share the relevant portions of their own JS / envelope third party JS into their own code base (and presumably scrub it/test it)?
I've encountered so many defective or questionable products on Amazon lately. I basically have no trust what I receive any more. I even had issues returning items. I've started buying directly from companies, or offline in real stores more often.
DOA are very frequent with hard drives, particularly WD in my experience.

Nethack indeed suffers from that a but, but Dungeon Crawl in my opinion is one of the best games ever made, and it gets revamped constantly, and they make tough choices and I have to admit they are usually right, even when first impression says otherwise.
Also there is a campaign against amazon in the UK. Politically motivated in the case of the guardian and some other reason (maybe 'top gear' or a general fear of future competition) from the bbc.

Hmmm, I wonder if opensource code is how the first ai-generated code contributions will look like? Ie technically good, but perhaps not fundamentally innovative, at least, initially?
There is a non-profit association that is in charge of building standards and regulating (as much as possible) online ads. It's called Interactive Advertising Bureau (http://www.iab.com) and they are described as :

"The Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB) is an advertising business organization that develops industry standards, conducts research, and provides legal support for the online advertising industry. The organization represents a large number of the most prominent media outlets globally, but mostly in the United States and in Europe."

Their cause is great and they have been establishing solid foundations but the very description shows it's limit: "mostly in the United States and in Europe". The shady ad networks are usually registered and host their content in none of those regions which means they are free of any standards and there isn't much the IAB can do about it.
Are these sold by amazon or marketplace sellers?

Came to say precisely this. Before you run out of o2 the co2 levels will likely render you unconscious, and will potentially also suppress your breathing.

I took a lungful (choked on the first breath, coughed, started really choking) of air heavy with co2 in a pub cellar once. Only because I fainted on top of the kegs above the co2 saturated air on the floor (leaky cylinder valve) am I here to tell you about it. Tastes like acidic metal and black velvet rushes in.

Because of this I only buy items that Amazon ships and sells if the item is a brand name item that is widely available. (Fulfilled by Amazon can be ok if buying from a brand that has chosen to have Amazon do all their fulfillment.) The amount of deceptive, substandard, and counterfeit crap on Amazon's site is enormous and they don't seem to be trying to do anything about it.
I'm kinda curious how it's possible for an organization to go through all it takes to produce self-driving cars (engineering, qa, logistics, sourcing, etc.) but is unable to build an app to find riders for these cars and manage yield of available seat-space.

Not really seeing the value-add of Uber at that point beyond the brand and historical data about customer rides as transportation is so fungible.

It's not entirely impossible that Uber/Lyft will engage in a race to the bottom while a bold automaker (such as Tesla) offers to buy out Lyft for it's trip data... to then stand on the sidelines as Uber goes bankrupt... to then purchase their data during liquidation.

I could be wrong, but it will be interesting to see where Uber executives take the company.

> "Phone numbers are always written in ASCII"

This one got me when I ran a Japanese website. Unicode (deriving from Japanese standards) has "fullwidth forms" for Roman letters and numbers. Thus your users can enter a phone number as 0123456789 or ０１２３４５６７８９ (or even a mixture), and your code had better be able to cope with it.

This can be alleviated with the use of CO2 scrubbers[0]. Basically you fill fan-powered canisters with minerals ("sodasorb" is a popular product used in the offshore diving industry), which absorbs CO2 from the atmosphere. That's not to say that you need to be able to remove and replace the minerals in the scrubbers every so often.

Founder of Locent's forthright comments on raising VC funding as a black person
There is so much right with this article, and so much wrong.

Firstly, it's not the Common Core he's fighting, but the implementation of some of the testing. Assessment is Hard, really hard, really really hard. Making sure someone actually knows something as opposed to going through the motions in which they are well drilled.

But secondly, 9^9^9 is not the largest number that can be represented by three digits. There's Knuth's notation. Oh, perhaps they haven't learned that yet.

And there's the dilemma. Arguing that all the other students were wrong because they didn't use something that they hadn't learned, we can also argue that his daughter was wrong for the same reason.

Education is hard, assessment is hard, and arguments like this don't actually help.
actually, for error handling, panic is a lot more like exceptions than exit. much like java, panic acts like throw, and defer/recovery like try/catch. and you can use it like that in the depths of your library, recovering from panics in your exported functions.
>Where is the line in the sand here?

Well that's kind of the problem isn't it? Sure, you can criminalise outright lying (and perhaps we could do better at that), but things get a lot murkier as soon as you go any further.

Besides, most of the manipulation of advertising isn't about explicitly misinforming people, it's about associations and familiarity. You can't ban an advert saying "Coca cola exists", but it's still going to mean people end up choosing it over potentially better options.
Not only difficult to prove, but also difficult to even get an idea of whom to sue.

Got burnt by some ransomware, now what? Use that backup you hopefully have and that's it. In the time between backup and damage, the primary browser would have touched just about every ad network in existence and nobody knows how many other unpublished holes might have been responsible for the malware to leak in.

Art the other end of the range, if you are a security expert analyzing the incoming flood, you may have an abstract case of attempted computer fraud, but no concrete damages.

Edit: could this change once ad-blockers have caused the introduction of server-side splicing of ads and content? (I suspect that this will become the main business of edge server operators not too far down the road)

Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup is indeed a brilliant game. Some of the best gameplay I have ever experienced in any game, commercial or not. And it's interesting how this happened by organic iterative design with a few guiding hands over years, rather than the typical commercial big bang release date with years of up front dev.

DCSS does suffer from the optimum local minima thing as well, though. There are a lot of big design choices that stick around because they've always been there, rather than being good choices. For instance: the difficulty curve, melee being superior to spell casting, big random damage spikes, length of the game (too long), tediousness of summons / spell casting, kiting as the optimal strategy 99% of the time, and the other things that make dcss what it is.
If you follow electronic forums or photo forums, for many people it's common practice to order new electronic or photo toys and return them, with no intention to ever buy them. They boast how clever they are.

All the rest of us then receive "new" articles from Amazon that have been opened, played around and returned by these people.

Tell tale sign in the article:

"[..] said the majority of items he returned were high-value electronic items that had failed. He had chosen to cancel problematic purchases rather than wait for Amazon to simply exchange the item."

He had no intention to get an exchange, because he had no intention to ever buy those articles.

The illusion relative to the idea of the feeling.

I.e. the feeling of love isn't a separate thing from other feelings. It's just different interpretation of the same process but in different contexts.

I.e. there is no love "out there" you don't feel love you feel something that we then choose to interpret as something called love but it's not a thing it's more a loosely defined category.

Funny thing is, as a European I never saw the point in credit cards. So when I lived in the US I didn't get one for a few years. Finally my girlfriend pushed me to get one for the free cash back, but the application was denied since I had no credit history (yet a high-paying job and $100k in the bank...). Just weird.

The more I think about making credit match with work in an organisation, the more it looks like a neural network where the credit/revenue/profit gradient is having problems being back-propagated.

In the horizontal setup you describe (layer of thinkers on top of layer of doers), credit hits a barrier at the thinkers. The gradient isn't propagated.

In the vertical setup in the article (layer of thinker-doers), of course the backprop will be good because it is only one layer thick. You gain proper incentives, proper treatment of data on the whole pipeline. And the engineers can also concentrate on a purely orthogonal thing: writing tools.

But you lose the benefit of having the layer being able to focus on one thing. The author acknowledges those efficiencies (his word). It is hard to find people with a wide set of skills. Although in this case it is balanced, as now the engineers have gained specialization.

But I digress. My point was: humans in orgs are bad at backprop. Why share the credit at all? Organisations can be seen as neural networks/graphs, and they can lack proper backprop.

I'd love to see the results of some pagerank-like backprop. Every employee gets one base point. Every week, he is asked: "who helped you the most in doing your job this week?". Sales would credit analysts who would credit engineers, etc. Or Sales would credit analysts-engineers who would credit tool-writers, etc. It could go both ways: engineers could credit sales or analysts for writings well thought-out problem descriptions.

Then you would run pagerank on it, and base every promotion, every salary increase on it. Information would flow well, and everybody has a clear direction (his gradient) of what he can do to shine.

Also, by injecting revenue at the sales layer in a certain period of time, you could identify who conctributed the most in an increase of revenue.

Also, I posit that managers have a tiny view of what happens in a firm. They only get to see a fraction of interactions, while the brunt of what matters happens in the long tail of one-to-one interactions. Should you chose to promote people with the highest PR, you would have a true result-based bottom-up org.
