Nah, people just click through. GMail has a much better model: mask destructive / un-undoable behaviour behind a short timer, make the action undo-able until the timer is up.
This is incorrect -- it does constantly rescan the room and will detect someone moving through the environment. It doesn't do that super quickly, though, and it can be difficult to capture the geometry of a moving person accurately.

I use both, but the '!bang' syntax is more convenient when you simply want to repeat a search using a different search engine, or want to use an engine you don't have a quicksearch for (you could of course add them, but sometimes it's just not worth the trouble for the few times you need it).
The administrators aren't really the problem per se, though. They're there to address mandates from various levels of government. Colleges won't reduce the number of administrators because they can't under the current bureaucratic regime.
Homage remains one of my five favorite books of all time. It is rare to read a story that is true and full of political insight, yet also so gripping. Even the parts about boredom (which seems to come up in any war) seemed full of tension, since so much was changing. The alliances of factions that fought for the Spanish government was ever shifting, and Orwell had given his loyalty to a faction that was losing out, even among those who were fighting for the government (the Soviet factions were gaining power and putting pressure on other left factions). It's a rare combination of features for a book.

Or just write down the latest commit (or use git reflog to find it post facto) and if you mess up, do "git reset --hard <commit>" to get back to it.
Yeah, this is dumb. Being able to effectively bisect large projects depends on having smaller commits. If your commits are all huge, your bisect will hit some 500 line patch that does 5 different things -- it'll easily quadruple the debugging time. Not to mention that having small self-contained commits is a good thing.
Reminds me of point 3 in http://www.sebastiansylvan.com/post/language-design-deal-bre...: “You have to make sure that nullable pointers cannot be dereferenced. (...) Having every few statements potentially trigger a runtime crash is an expensive price to pay... for nothing!” [emphasis in the original] Once you have proper non-nullable pointer types, `static_cast` is a single pointer bump once again.
Another thing I like about Australia is that it has no cultural and historical debt. Coming from Europe where some of the buildings I use to live in were older then Australia itself, there was always a great sense of pride (sometimes false) to think/say/do things the certain way just because it's what my ancestors believed in. Don't get me wrong, I think that European culture, shaped by its history is one of the best things this continent can be proud of but for some reason living Downunder feels liberating. It does not matter where you come from, what religion you profess, whether you're a gay or straight etc. the pressure of being stigmatized based on your personal values or your origin is non-existent. Aussie history is very young, some may say that excluding Aboriginal people, it's just started so in some ways it feels that migrating here you can start your life with carte blanche without having to conform to any norms or dogmas resulting from entrenched culture as it's the case in other countries. It's far from laissez faire as Australia is somewhat a nanny state (in a good sense) but open-mined and democratic enough to let one be and not interfere or make you feel bad in case you have opposing views (think governments in China, Russia, UAE or culture in Middle East, Asia etc.)

Nat and myself knew each other for a couple of years before that. It is only that we first met in person for the first time when he was an intern, and I was interview for a position on the IE team at the time.

We are joining a new Microsoft, with a team that is highly energized to give developers the tools they need and in particular, we are happy to be joining forces in their development efforts for .NET. With .NET Core about to be launched, there has never been a better time to get into C# and F#.
That's actually the crux of the issue here. In the past AI research didn't have any commercial value, and now it does. So universities and departments are having to deal with new competition, and they'll have to adjust various forms of compensation as a result.

Worse yet, what if the government decides it wants data that Slack holds and forces their hand?

I don't think this problem isn't solvable. Public crypto could help alleviate some of the pain. For instance, what you say holds true for most Google services (Gmail, search data, hangouts, data from Android), Github (private repos), Amazon (credit card data, purchase data), Uber/Lyft (travel data) or basically any popular WWW service with wide enough adoption. Nothing peculiar to Slack.

I wonder if the concerns you raised could be done away with if they started using crypto similar to ones used by Telegram or say, Signal by Open Whisper Systems.

Re: Data Retention: Slack could provide a TTL field and that would help solve that.

This looks impressive but I am a little disappointed about the assumption of REST. We have recently turned away from REST and are moving toward a React/GraphQL architecture. We have been studying the possibility of something like Aleph, or even Apache Storm, combined with "bolts" or processes running our GraphQL server, as a way of running a GraphyQL at scale (Node is known for suffering at scale from its lack of backpressure). I would love to see something like RestCommander for GraphQL. The Play framework certainly seems like it could help in that area, though I personally have not worked with Play, so I can't have a strong opinion about it. A devops person might insist that something like Supervisord is enough to keep things going at scale, but of course, monitoring 1,000 servers is difficult, and even Supervisord can die. I appreciate the effort to come up with something that offers us another way to support running multiple instances of our servers, and perhaps bringing the monitoring closer to the app.
Considering you mentioned "focus less on absolute financial independence" and "small amount of savings", I guess that you want to generate multiple streams of income through your "labor" instead of "capital".

There are only two ways to generate, increase, create multiple stream of income through "labor": increase number of hours of "labor" spent working and/or increase the hourly rate you charge for your "labor". Two problems with "labor" based income generation approach: there is upper limit on the "labor" hours you can contribute and "capital" providers typically control how much they will pay you for each hour of your "labor".

When you generate income through "capital", you have none of these limitations. Unlike days of our parents and grandparents when "labor" was well-respected, now a "capital" based income generation approach is considered much superior.

You should be thinking about how you can move from "labor" based to "capital" based income generation approach. My wife likes to say it like this: "I want my Green workers (color of dollar bills not newbies) to work hard for me instead of other way around." Focus on maximizing conversion of your "labor" into "capital", accumulate/save the earned "capital" and then use it to generate income.

OP here, you bring up some fair points and I wanted to respond.

Definitely agree with you that the result of these experiments and others similar to it so far have produced unstructured and unenjoyable music, when compared to human-level compositions. I also agree that you could achieve similar results by some rule-based system involving random walks through a musical scale, common chord progressions, etc.

However, to me what's exciting about this and similar projects is that the network is learning these rules on it's own. The whole point of machine learning is that we don't have to explicitly state or even understand the underlying structure or music theory, because the algorithm figures it out on it's own. And sure, right now, it is only learning structure that we can codify manually in rules. But who's to say that as neural network techniques become more advanced, they won't be able to learn more abstract concepts such as the overarching dramatic structure of a musical piece?

I doubt universities can come close to affording it. My CV wouldn't have gotten me a tenure-track position at a top school, but my income in industry is much higher than even the best paid professors at my alma mater (ignoring profs' consulting income, of course).

>My hope is as we increase the rate at which people finish high school and go to college

Woah, this is the logic that is getting us in trouble!

66% of people already go to college. Of those who go, only 50% graduate. So...

1) Does "college" matter or does learning a marketable skill mater? If we had 100% college enrollment and completion but everyone was getting a degree in native American studies, would we somehow be better off?

2) At what level of enrollment does it become more cost effective to simply extend high school 2-4 more years and just consolidate it?

College in its present form is in trouble because the lions share of college attendees are; white women, taking non STEM degrees, taking on federal loans, and having a lower workforce participation rate at the end of it.

College is about learning, not about what a huge chunk of it has become; safe spaces, community outreach, nice dorms, cafeterias, dating, fitness centers and generally taking a hiatus from life. We really need to redefine college in its present form, it is no longer what it was 50 or 100 years ago.

Cracking Techniques 1982
The purpose of a Ph.D. is to create and advance human knowledge, not just to learn some stuff and get a certificate.

You generally can't get a Ph.D. without conducting and then communicating original research. Watching videos and reading books might help with that but are not sufficient by themselves.

In literature you of course do have to read in order to do your research. But the hard part is not the reading, it is the originality. That's what you need an advisor, committee, professors, and colleagues for: to challenge you to prove you're not just reiterating what someone else already said.
Even if true (I know many professors who did postdocs), it's not clear what you think this proves. Faculty slots are very scarce and most newly graduated PhDs, even very smart ones, do not have "faculty job at a desirable institution" as an option immediately available to them. So they are left with the choice between postdocs and industry. Most choose industry, and it's not hard to understand why.

The central HFH model is sound and successful even if some affiliates are straying from it and getting into trouble.

A common misconception is that HFH hands out houses to poor people. HUD does that and it doesn't really work. You end up with "the projects", a swath of bad hood, buildings stripped of copper before they're completed, and a bigger disaster.

Instead, HFH involves the community, especially and centrally the prospective home owners, who are screened for having steady jobs, existing contributions to their community, and other indicators. Nobody could buy a house on one minimum wage income or even two, no matter their character, and that's the niche filled. The owners participate in the chapter via "sweat equity", where they might help with others' houses in addition to their own, alongside volunteers from the community. They buy the house from HFH with a low-interest mortgage; it's not a gift. Owners are also monitored and advised afterwards, and they often continue to hang around chapters helping the next batch. The result is pride in their home, bonds with the chapter, and an improved neighborhood.

I have no clue what the NYC chapter was thinking but it doesn't meet the core values, but we should concede inner city chapters have different challenges than suburban or rural ones.

So, literally all this said was:

- "MacIntel"

- some stuff from my User Agent string (changing it to IE11 made it think I'm on Windows 8)

- my public IP, network provider and approx. downstream speed.

I don't use Facebook or Google so I don't know if those things would have worked.

None of the network scanning worked, it didn't use the geolocation stuff, etc.

If Chrome/Firefox/IE do allow access to all/some of those things without prompting, jesus titty fucking christ.

All of you claiming "Safari is the new IE6" need to perhaps pay attention.

Google has a vested interest in pushing browser technologies regardless the cost to privacy or user security - their ChromeOS devices depend on a world where web apps can do everything.
