I think the poster's point still somewhat stands which is that having guys uncomfortably advance is very much a first world problem.

I have had advances from a couple of females during my career (clients looking to gain favor for cheaper/better work) but I would never consider it something I should be suing or even worrying over.
You only need to know which cell towers the phones are traveling past[1], and you get a nice relationship map (and movement data). I'm sure a similar analysis can be done with IP headers.

Point 5 is moot and offensive because slavery is wrong. Even Moldbug now claims he does not support chattel slavery. However he is very keen on tyranny, which he correctly identifies as akin to slavery.
I guess so, though there are a lot of examples in history where you ended up with stable feudal-like states. The idea that anarcho-capitalism would produce an optimal equilibrium seems ahistorical to me. I don't think humans have figured out an ideal system of governance, but a strong central government constrained by the rule of law and some democratic checks and balances seems to be the best we've got.
Look into client-side error tracking. We're using Sentry where I work.

It will catch any uncaught exceptions, group them together and normalize the stack traces (because of course they look different across browsers). If you tag the errors by their release, you can see if your release introduced any regressions.

We're not using it in any automated way, though, because there's so much noise. Any time a phone happens to run out of memory or some extension crashes, you'll get an error report.

Of course, it also doesn't cover non-crashing regressions, where you may have incorrect behavior rather than crashes. Those are much harder to catch, unless your integration tests are incredibly granular.
Excellent, I look forward to trying this out!
> He was thrilled when he got an offer for an $18-per-hour cleaning job in the Seattle area — a big step up from the $15-per-hour job he had taken a few months earlier

> After Almeida switched jobs, a lawyer from his old employer, ServiceMaster, sent him a letter threatening a lawsuit

> The company told the Seattle Times that the noncompete agreement was necessary because ServiceMaster had provided Almeida with valuable training

So require that the employee stay with the company until they recoup the investment. If the employee leaves before the term is up, charge the employee the cost of training.
Engineers often read this section much more broadly than it is.
Employees rarely win 2870 suits.

Basically: Engineers tend to think it matters what they do for the company, but 2870 instead says it matters what the company does, not what you do for the company.

Employers can claim stuff that "(1) Relate at the time of conception or reduction to practice of
the invention to the employer's business, or actual or demonstrably
anticipated research or development of the employer; or"

For large tech companies, this pretty much covers everything you might want to do.
I actually have several TB of OpenSSL PRNG output (256 bit len) that I've been analyzing. A fairly modest sample size, but I've come across some interesting patterns at the bit level. It's kind of a pain in the ass to write efficient analytics for a binary 256 bit pattern as a matter of fact.

If you're actually interested in the topic, here's an absolutely fantastic blog post on the subject:

http://blog.statuspage.io/why-public-apologies-suck

Some important bits:

>4 PARTS OF A BAD APOLOGY

- Justifying the offending actions or words.

- Blaming the victim.

- Making excuses.

- Minimizing the consequences.

>8 PARTS OF AN EFFECTIVE APOLOGY

- You actually have to use the words I’m sorry.

- Acknowledge that you messed up. (As in, “I take full responsibility for my words.”)

- Tell the person how you’ll fix the situation.

- Describe what happened, but without foisting the blame off on someone else.

- Promise to behave better next time.

- Make sure the person knows you know exactly how you hurt or inconvenienced them.

- Much like the first rule, it’s important to use some version of the phrase “I was wrong.”

- Ask for forgiveness.
If non-competes are invalid by law, you're still free to sign one. Your freedom is uninhibited. What's inhibited is contract enforcement, i.e. the use of force to coerce people against their will. Calling contract enforcement a "freedom" is simply wrong.

That's absolutely not to say that contract enforcement isn't useful or desirable, but it clearly must be limited. If contract enforcement is unlimited then some people will end up singing contracts that put themselves into literal slavery and we prohibit that for a reason.
> This clearly states the government has the right to warranted search and seizure for cases in which it needs to protect the public at large.

That it does. But what it does not state is that the government has a right to create laws mandating that free citizens, not accused of any crime, must only create or possess items that the government can obtain access to.
I can give you the cynical truth on it:

Large employers will generally own whatever you do in your spare time. They will not mention this, and generally not care, but if you make a ton of money or do something really popular, they will start a fight.

Note:
"The employee bears the burden of establishing his invention comes within Labor Code section 2870. (Lab. Code, § 2872.)
"

See also cubic corp v. marty, which disassembles most typical arguments:

"Marty argues under the Labor Code provision "the employer is not entitled to the invention unless it 'resulted from' work performed by the employee, even if the invention, in general, relates to the 'business of the employer'....""
Marty has misconstrued the Labor Code provision.
<court proceeds to trash Marty's arguments>
etc

I have yet to see a case where an inventor wins.
Allegedly Apple wanted this request from the FBI to stay under seal, and it was the FBI who pushed to make it public. If that's the case, then it may have indeed been the FBI not Apple who turned this into a PR situation.
I have no firm source as the arguments are scattered over the last three decades. I can summarize the current viewpoints:

Pro-JEPD camps point towards style analysis, dividing the pentateuch into four distinct dictions, each with their own (hypothesized) time frames.

Anti-JEPD camps tend to a) pick apart style arguments (with mixed success) and b) argue for a cohesion of content.

I tend to give the Pro-JEPD camps slightly more credit for their empirical approach; this is entirely my point of view.

In any case, "most religious people" will argue for Moses himself writing the Torah in its entirety. AFAIK there is absolutely zero evidence for a historical Moses. In fact, the strongest evidence is put forth by the Anti-JEPD camps themselves.

Contrast this to the Quran, which has cohesion of support around authorship by Muhammad (or in a religious context, transcription of the word of God via Muhammad) in its entirety; argument around authorship tend to revolve around modifications during oral propagation between Muhammad's lifetime and the earliest fragments we have (notably the Sana'a manuscript and the slightly later Uthman standardized version). There is simply not as much evidence for multiple authorship of the core text here, though not as much textual analysis has been performed here as the time period for revision is tiny compared to the bible and the torah.
Buzzfeed's impending failure is the canary in the mine for all of social media, such as was New Century mortgage abrupt announcing of bankruptcy. I remember that day still as I was a mortgage broker, and you all saw it documented in Emmy award winning The Big Short.
At best Buzzfeed should have been a branch of a larger media conglomerate or news website like Yahoo. Buzzfeed is another of the ultimate pump and dumb schemes we have seen on Wall St and Silicon Valley so many times. This time they told us "web traffic" and "likes" on face book were so much more important than posting profits, and their insane cash burns were ignored as our old friend greed continued to inflate the bubble through the soaking up of excess money from unbelievably greedy VCs who were unsatisfied with low single digit returns from traditional companies.
VCs are hugely important to capitalism (as we have seen with shows like Shark Tank) but with huge gains comes huge risk and big falls. We can all be glad this bubble will predominately affect those involved in this industry, yes big social networks are going to get pinched big, but they will find their footing before the bottom while the other 80% of these startups with no hope of ever achieving profitability will be forced to fold into one another, or face the buzzsaw that is currently spinning inches away from Buzzfeed.

Related would be the discussion a few days ago on how Google (with potential for other hyperscale companies like Facebook) are experimenting with possible Power9-based [1] systems. While I'll be interested to see how IBM continues to evolve POWER I think the potential uses for the interconnects (both CAPI and NVLink), particularly in ML, is in many ways more interesting then what CPUs themselves bring to the table.

Visual Studio “15” Introduces New JavaScript Language Service, Salsa
Serious question, do you write JS code professionally? I mean, the more you know about JS the better, I agree, but writing plain is a daunting task, and your bound to get a lot of things wrong.

It's not a well defined language with one authoritative guide like many others, the ecosystem is pretty crazy.

"On April 9, 2016 I had an email address compromised, with the attacker brute-forcing a weak password."

Namecheap is obviously to blame for the compromise of the VPS, but failing to secure an email account which can be used for password resets is even a bigger fail, IMO.
Thanks Nick. No name yet, do you have a suggestion? Uberfitting? :)
Should we come up with a language that's easy to teach for both computers and humans? A sort of generic human/machine DSL?
That mitigates the risk of depending on services, but it introduces a huge new risk by committing development time to a feature that provides no value to the user and potentially, if the providers last, no value to the business either.

Any startup founder who follows this strategy is concentrating on the wrong thing. Pick the provider who's most likely to last and build against their service. That way you are more likely to fail than they are.
If hacking tools didn't facilitate access to industrial control systems, personal health and financial information, private communications and photos, then I would probably agree. A vulnerability in a criminals hands leads to very real life damages.
" I wonder how well "sometimes we break things" scales with users of smaller services"
---

Writing "business software" I have noticed that this doesn't scale at all. I mean when you have a couple of thousand people depending on the software for work bugs are really not tolerated that well.

It's probably different if you have hundreds of servers and can detect bugs on a deployment on one of them, so it only affects a small percentage of users and then you can roll back and try again.
But if you have a single installation and you break that all the time with your commits then it probably doesn't work so good.
And for the majority of software you really do not need "webscale" installations with millions of "heroku boxen" or droplets etc... Sure have some for redundancy but it really doesn't help with this "deploy master on each commit" type of deal.
Like Google did?

Both parties have to understand a contract for it to agreed upon. For example those massive T&C that go with a website sign-up largely mean nothing if the company hasn't ensured you read and understood them.
Yeah, I also curious about this one.
I agree with you on the technological assessment.

However, I also don't think Apple has a responsibility—even as a "citizen" of the country—to explicitly allow government access. From a cost, liability, and product standpoint it is in their interest to build themselves out of these legal middleman situations. If you hold this against them that's your right, but it's exactly that reason why I own an iphone. I suspect I'm not alone.

I'm firmly of the camp we should be aiming to reduce terrorism by becoming a smaller target, NOT by treating everyone like a potential terrorist. Technology can certainly help with this: look at TOR, twitter, end-to-end encryption, etc. fostering open and fearless conversation allowing us to improve generation over generation.

Also, I would be much more sympathetic to the FBI if it seemed like there was something relevant to national security on the phone. I don't recall them ever attempting to convince anyone of that. The San Bernadino incident seemed like a couple going postal rather than a deep-rooted international religious conspiracy.

Response to your EDIT (I value your conservative viewpoint, <3): I do not hold Apple liable for writing infallible crypto. In fact, I fully expect them to be hacked. But the stronger their crypto, the more value they have, regardless of their intentions or what they care about. It's kind of beautiful, in a way that makes me uncomfortable: their profits from me are directly correlated to their dedication to crypto. The more energy they put into it, the more money I want to give them. You are exactly correct. I see this as a very efficient free market transaction—something I would expect a (fiscal?) conservative to value.

Finally, I view the guarantee of privacy as finally having some kind of bulwark against the arms race governments have been waging against their citizens since the invention of the standing national army. Just because governments have had the luxury of violating my privacy does not mean they should.
Pencils are not a passion--pencils are a way of life. My grandfather made pencils in the war, and afterwards, he and my grandmother moved to Ames, Iowa, where they opened up a local mom and pop pencil shop. That was where my father learned to read and write. It was a wholesome family business. These were handcrafted, locally grown, American pencils made by artisans of the trade.

My father took over the business until 1997 when rising Ames rents and increasing mass-produced competition drove us out. We had to move to San Francisco where my father, who was not college educated mind you, got a job at Staples in the pencil department. He hated every minute of it.

This woman is not a pencil artisan like my father and his father. She is simply selling mass-produced products without getting in touch with their rich history. Don't lecture me about passion.

wih that particular data set, it looks like it really just adds more data, and more importantly, fills in the gaps along the spirals which is where my setup was having troubles.

I know you get this, but when you're on AWS you don't evaluate a single piece of standalone hardware for virtually any reason. It's not even worth bothering to think about. People (again, probably not you) always have this misconception that AWS is just an expensive VPS. But anyone who's really invested in the platform (and I'm guessing they are, if they have this scale as a business problem) is using a dozen different services that play really well together in the AWS ecosystem. And that's what your engineers know, and your ops team knows. It's what finance knows. You'd need to be saving massive amounts of money to even bother considering it.
So many people should be in jail for what happened here. I'm not sure how we got here, but capitalism some how turned into socialism. Only it was not the people that the government redistributed the wealth to, it was the failing businesses. I know the reasoning was to prevent a bad recession, but I don't know how capitalism is going to work with that sort of interference from the governments.

Right, which is exactly why he is asking for collection policy, aka, what data are you getting in the first place?
It depends. I wouldn't hire Yarvin, because his record of alleged racist writing and speech suggest he would be a lawsuit waiting to happen. But Lambdaconf appear to have decided that explicitly muzzling his alleged racist and political views for the duration of the conference is likely to work, or at least it makes sense to give him the benefit of the doubt, and I agree on that. Also, similarly, my standards on who I would wish to work with are stricter than who would deter me from attending a technical conference. Calling supporters of Nelson Mandela mother f*ers is not a good culture fit.

well, santaclaus wrote 'generics', not 'templates'. So presumably that means containers like std::vector, or std::unordered_map. Those are pretty easy to deal with.
OMG. Reasonable people already learned that Clojurescript, Elm and Purescript are much, much, much better, so why are you still debating about semicolons?
You could use the official client with the --standalone flag — that's actually what nginx users have to do right now, as there's no automagic vhost configuration for nginx with the official client yet. The client spins up an HTTP listener on port 80 or 443 for the domains you've specified and listens for the challenge. Then your certs are live in /etc/letsencrypt.
> There seems to be a pervasive undercurrent that if it looks website-ish, it's got to be good.

I don't get that from the article. There's a stated reason, that it's a stricter format with much less risk of type confusion, which sounds plausible enough to me. There's also the benefit that tool support is good. Why does the web need to be relevant at all?
I'm not qualified to answer this, but I will anyway.

To "operate" neural networks (as opposed to writing a framework for them), you need to know the building blocks. There are basic blocks like fully connected layers, convolutions, and nonlinear activations. Beyond those, there are higher level building blocks like LSTMs[1], gated recurrent units[2], highway layers[3], batch normalization[4], and residual blocks[5] that are made up of simpler blocks. Learning what these do and when it's appropriate to use them requires following current literature.

Operating neural networks requires some systems engineering skill. It takes a long time to train a single network and you'll find yourself trying many different architectures and hyperparameters along the way. Because of this, you'll want to distribute the training across many different systems and be able to easily monitor and deploy jobs on those systems.

A solid grasp of mathematics is useful to effectively debug your networks. You'll frequently find your network doesn't converge or gives totally garbage results, so you need to know how to dig into the network internals and understand how everything works. This is especially true if you're implementing a new building block from a paper.

Finally, know your machine learning and statistics fundamentals. Understand overfitting, model capacity, cross validation, probability, model ensembles, information theory, and so on. Know when a simpler model is more appropriate.
