When I start tracing my mathematical lineage back, I find a couple bifurcations and eventually get to Ulrich Zasius (1501), Cristoforo Landino (late 1400s) Moses Perez (same), Elissaeus Jusaeus (late 1300s) and Manuel Bryennios (early 1300s): http://genealogy.math.ndsu.nodak.edu/id.php?id=184632 who has 128k descendants.

It makes the implication of "willing" explicit. Perhaps it should be in parenthesis or brackets.
Neither you nor the article is correct. The exposure algorithm is being introduced because with it, they can sell premium spots to advertisers. Without it, it's impossible to do it in a way that doesn't stick out.

Waiting until you have something useful has other drawbacks. For example, it might take many hours or days to get to a 'useful' and 'done' state - I don't want to go hours or days without saving my work in a manner that is easy to retrieve if something goes wrong.

Besides the obvious 'hard drive failure' or 'laptop stolen' situations, there are also more frequent situations where 'oh shit, I went down a totally wrong path there - let me back up a bit and try that again.' Git commits are little save points that let me do small experimentation and go back if I need to.
It needs similarly untethered hand controllers like the vive's but with their own 'HPU's and depth camera system tracking. Then you won't need this awkward pinching system, and you can use buttons, which I've become very accustomed to in my time using computers.
What is the apparent resolution of the browser window shown in the AR world?

It makes the implication different. Ask Nelson Mandela.
There are so many versions of jquery, and so many cdns, that most likely 70-90% of visitors don't have your specified jquery file cached. So yes, I believe it does matter. Jquery isn't something understood to be special to a browser, wherein the http requests would go through a special "see if any jq of the required version is cached" process.

I don't think most people delete posts because they are low-value. I believe most people delete posts when they realize they don't want their name to be associated with them.

Short of comments with sensitive and/or personal information in their content, I do see value in preventing comment deletion. That is, assuming that you can disassociate your name from it.

I embrace edits, but I do think it's important to allow full access to edit history.
So you are saying:

Google Apps SMTP -> Google Apps Group (different domain) == FAIL

Fastmail SMTP -> Google Apps Group (different domain) == SUCCESS?

It's been a long time since I looked at this. We did have great internal tools to look up the classification of individual messages, including the top 10 deciding reasons for a given message classification. With a paid Google Apps domain a support rep investigating your ticket would eventually look at this tool to figure out what's going on.

Staggeringly brazen:

>Mr. Al-Husseiny is an American who then headed Aabar Investments PJS, which is an arm of an Abu Dhabi sovereign-wealth fund known as IPIC. The state-owned firms did business with 1MDB. For instance, IPIC guaranteed some of the Malaysian fund’s bonds.

>In connection with the IPIC guarantees, 1MDB reported in corporate filings that in 2012, it sent $1.4 billion to Aabar as collateral.

>Investigators believe this money never got to Aabar in Abu Dhabi but went instead to a separate, almost identically named company that Mr. Al-Husseiny had helped set up in the British Virgin Islands, called Aabar Investments PJS Ltd., said people familiar with the probes.
At the top of the article there is a picture that is just one of a gallery (6 images). It's not obvious but it appears that a couple of them are drawings, presumably by the subject of the article.

This article reads like Wirecutter is the first content site to use affiliate marketing as a primary revenue source.

How is the hacker culture different between the late nineties and now?
The question says it all. If you have seen or were part of the hacker culture during the early days, how do you see it different now?
Have you ever filed a legal complaint?
That doesnt change the fact that it's (a) high value target and (b) highly likely to be compromised by the people they worry about most. Whereas on premise means hackers run into who knows what apps, network configs, routers, OS's, etc. Lots of extra work for them. Plus some company and its employees dont have access go your data without a risky subversion.
I didn't even realize the website was trying to obtain information because I don't use JS. It's ridiculous how much of a liability it is.
> As I said elsewhere, if you see 1000 masked people rush into a bar and block the entrance with their bodies, is the solution to block all masked people from going to all establishments?

Try wearing a mask into a petrol station or convenience store. They've already performed the assessment of 'potential sale vs getting robbed', and decided the risk factor they'd like to accept.

My co-founder and started Cronitor as a side project, now I usually call it a side business. I'd consider a seed round, and angel investors have told us we could raise money at a 7-figure valuation. I'm sure we could grow faster, but I also enjoy it for what it is: passive-ish income. We develop features because we want to, and we've built a stable service with few operational problems and minimal customer service demands. I say, let the side projects roll.
Ah, yes, report vs ghc is sometimes a very important distinction. Your assessment sounds correct.

Wow, so they're saying Facebook can sell non-anonymized data about your computer usage to third parties. If this is actually true, that'd be a lot scarier than any Google or Microsoft policy.

I've had one incident that was very similar to this (DDoS raiding forum proxied through Cloudflare staging an attack against our servers).

When I reported it, they said they had informed the attackers of my report, which is sortof like having the police tell a gang you snitched on them and could have enabled retaliation.

When I asked them if they had indeed leaked my personal contact information in this report, they responded with this:

As indicated at https://www.cloudflare.com/abuse/form and to which you expressly agreed: "By submitting this report, you consent to the above information potentially being released by CloudFlare to third parties such as the website owner, the responsible hosting provider, law enforcement, and/or entities like Chilling Effects"

And then when I followed up again, they responded with this:

Again, to re-iterate, by submitting a report at https://www.cloudflare.com/abuse/form, you expressly agreed: "By submitting this report, you consent to the above information potentially being released by CloudFlare to third parties such as the website owner, the responsible hosting provider, law enforcement, and/or entities like Chilling Effects"

In this case, it appears that we chose not to forward your report to the website owner. However, we reserve the right to, and you should assume that this should happen when making reports to us.

I don't know what the legal implications of this are, suffice to say, protecting DDoS attackers for free while asking for legitimate sites to pay (in my case, the $6000/mo plan would be needed) feels a hell of a lot like extortion.

As for liability, ISPs aren't liable for hosted content, but there are exceptions (DMCA, CP), and legally, Cloudflare absolutely has legal liability here. They're not just linking to that content like with a BitTorrent tracker, they're literally serving it through their nginx servers.
This small profile of Gail Harrison seems largely irrelevant and reads like you're trying to hype her up to make some sort of a sell.

Can confirm almost all Computer Vision professors I know work or have worked at Google/Facebook/their own startup at some point of time. Also these Professors have tenures (currently on sabbatical etc.). This is actually a great thing for graduate students too. Internships pay very well and can even extend beyond summers as part-time contractor positions. Another common method as highlighted in the article is to convert research group into a startup which gets acqui-hired by Google etc. E.g. Geometric Intelligence would be a good example.
Well, firstly I don't know that we would have considered the late 90s to be the early days. I was pretty active during a time where the scene was transitioning from underground bulletin boards to the internet/irc, circa ~1991 and even then it was common to find textfiles describing esoteric systems that were hard to find anymore.

I'm not active at all anymore in infosec (white or blackhat), so it's impossible for me to draw a comparison. But I can tell you that back then it was very much more about trading information and socializing. Google around for anything published from a guy named Fravia. When I remember those days, he more than anybody captured the philosophy I wanted to subscribe to. These days it sounds pretty scary. Back then you could get in trouble for phreaking some phone calls and end up with a stern talking to from the telco. Now you aim a webcrawler at the wrong service and they lock you up.

It also seems like blackhats now have a much more mature ecosystem and financial motives. Right around Defcon6 I think it was, hacker groups started building commercial product and people landed on episodes of MTV True Life. I think that was a pretty important shift.

tl;dr more fun, way less scary?

Edit: If you're talking about programming in general and the dot-com bubble, that's a different story. I may have missed the point.
She has done some really cool things with a tamagotchi. There is an article from PoC||GTFO that is related. Using power glitching to corrupt the stack pointer and hit a NOp sled. Really cool stuff. https://www.alchemistowl.org/pocorgtfo/pocorgtfo04.pdf
This doesn't seem responsive to my argument at all.

I'm speaking from experience with a package manager that was specifically designed up front to avoid the left-pad issue (before left-pad even was a thing). In that environment, dependencies, even small ones, are great. With an overrides feature and lockfiles, you get all the benefit of copying code (ability to hack on it, responsibility for updates, reproducible builds) without the hassles of copying code and trying to stay in sync with upstream.

Copying code isn't something you have to spend decades to invent. Rather, I see it as giving up on proper package management. There are coherent arguments that package managers aren't worth it (though I disagree with them), but I don't agree that it's arrogant to try to build package managers that scale up and down, any more than any attempt to use software to solve an engineering problem is arrogant.

Some people may pretend otherwise...but that's how we all code.
It's not "semantics" if the end result is the same, which is that you need to beg certain gatekeepers to give your product exposure. The fact that there are more of those gatekeepers now doesn't mean the process is more "democratized."

It originally started as a VM that could handle Perl 6, but then decided it wanted to focus on being a general VM for dynamic languages.

I think this is misleading; one of the original goals for Parrot was language interoperability, especially between Perl and P6.

Yes, exactly! I think that's sort of the key thing about the aviation approach. You can't change what happened so there's not much point in blaming people. Assigning blame and punishment is one way of attempting to modify future behavior, though not always effective.

Nava | Washington DC & San Francisco | Experienced full-stack developers/devops/product manager | On-site - Full-time | $100k-$160k + equity

We're a small team of engineers and designers from Silicon Valley that came out to DC last year to help fix Healthcare.gov. It turns out there’s a lot more to fix, and it’s surprising how much can be fixed by a small group of resourceful people with a Silicon Valley mindset, deep technical experience, working closely with dedicated civil servants in government.

Our revamped Healthcare.gov application is used by millions, converts 35% better, and halves the completion time. The login system we rebuilt is about two orders of magnitude more reliable and two orders of magnitude less expensive; for example, it’s about $70M less per year to operate.

People die because the Veteran's Administration is months behind in processing claims. The Social Security Administration pays benefits to millions of deceased Americans. $80 billion is spent every year on federal IT contracting, and 96% of projects are deemed failures. [0]

That’s not because there’s some conspiracy or because government is inherently incapable of doing it right. These are complicated legacy systems and processes, and there are very few people with modern tech industry experience who are aware of these problems and willing to help fix them. You can help change that.

Our team is about fifteen people (Stanford, Google, Khan Academy, Dropbox, YC alums) in DC and SF, and we plan to grow significantly in 2016.

We’re looking for: * experienced full-stack engineers * experienced devops engineers * a product manager with a technical background (DC only) * a technical project manager (DC only)

We have a social mission (we incorporated as a public benefit corporation), but we pay market compensation and equity.

If you'd like to build software and infrastructure that radically improves how our government serves people, we’d love to hear from you at jobs@navahq.com.

Low cost of capital environments cause strange behaviour in corporate finance - as you've seen with many of these "huge" VC-co's

Unless we're talking about some sort of implanted brain-machine interface that directly alters human perception I don't see VR being even an effective replacement for psychological torture.
also very handy for working on multiple branches concurrently, git worktree --help
If you sent up a big empty room, then everything could be VR, except with a concept of where the ends are.

That, plus the collaboration features would make HoloLens pretty awesome for any kind of collaborative product design. Take cars, for example. Right now, car mockups are done in clay, and while clay is easier to mold than metal, it still takes time and limits your ability to iterate. But with Hololens, you can have a design review where each of the participants puts on an AR unit, and now you can all see the same car and make changes to it in real time.

I'm excited to see what sorts of applications will be opened up by being able to display virtual objects in a "real" setting. I also agree that this won't be consumer-facing technology (at first). This is the sort of thing that'll take off with architects and engineers before it takes off with "normal people".
`goto` to arbitrary labels can be pretty risky. But `goto` to facilitate a single-point-of-exit for a function is a pretty sane idiom. It's all over the linux kernel and I don't think that anyone regrets it.

So I wouldn't state something like "Even Linus isn't perfect," rather "you should be open minded to learn new development idioms in environments where you're less experienced."
