Re [3]: Nice, it seems that both Blink and Webkit are nearing 100% support for ES6. Safari Technology Preview already has 98%, so next major version of Safari (presumably both on desktop and on mobile) will have it too. So this autumn we can expect to have ES6 in every browser that matters!
They could just confiscate the fees charged on the transactions in question, surely that has been recorded.
In many cases it is a willed action though. The images in this article are quite probably uploaded by the people themselves. I don't know exactly how privacy settings work on VKontakte, but from what I've seen most images seem publically searchable.

Now tell me how uploading things to such a database is not a willed action.

I agree with you that there is the possibility of someone else taking such images of you and everyone around you, through surveillance cameras or whatever, but for something of the scale shown in this article you'd still need quite an effort to create such a database without the help from the people themselves, especially if you want to link it to other personal information.
Wouldn't any fully standards compliant compiler for c++14 support that feature?
It may not be good design, but it might be necessary / practical design. If you have enough machines that some percentage of them are down or unreachable at any given time, you can't wait for full go-ahead before proceeding; you'll never get full go-ahead. So you're left with probabilistic solutions, and as T approaches infinity the expectation of more than zero false-positives approaches 1.

Where was the sexism? Her professor encouraged her. She went to a prestigious school. She got an internship at some big companies that don't give internships out to everyone. She was treated as an intern, because she was an intern, not because she was female.
And it sounds like she was treated like a female in some social situations.
There isn't enough info in the article to determine if those situations were sexual harassment.
But the article didn't mention any cases where her superiors treated her differently because of her gender.
Thank you! Don't know how I missed that Cognitive Services link...
That first paragraph is so right. `tc` is as close to deep magic as anything I've come across in a Linux box.
According to sama's post he was named as a cofounder on the company's YC application so clearly they knew about him. As for why they didn't get an agreement to waive or buy out any claim he might have early on, well...
DRY is tougher when for practical reasons data must be physically cached locally.
I almost agree, but this: universities are like expensive social clubs, I think glosses over the source of their unique position.

Their monopoly comes from them being the de facto certification authority (not just de-facto - many professions have statutory licensing requirements, making them a government-enforced authority). You don't (normally) go to university to get an education, you go to get a degree.

Universities will grant you the degree, but they require you to buy their in-house very very expensive education packages first, whether or not you need them. If I could ace every final exam tomorrow, I'd still have to pay for all the courses, for all that totally superfluous education, before they'd certify me.

This will not change until universities are no longer both the certification authority and the education provider. Only then will they have to actually compete on whether they are (as they claim) the most cost-effective way of being educated to a required standard.
Well, I'm certainly against eating all animals alive. Not a complicated issue.
They might be able to legislate that away as well though, i.e. funds that schools can prove they've received as payment of tuition and other approved things (book?) to be tax exempt.

The discrepancy (i.e. funds used to travel to Europe for fun) instead of paying for courses, will become income.
But a computer could do the same thing. It would be possible to alert on all the routes being blown away?
Design backdoors at hardware-level could be done of course, but it is at a whole different level, for general purpose IPCAM chips(e.g. Hi3518 series) I don't think it's worthwhile for the vendor to do that.

By the way, Huawei does do excellent chip designs with ARM core these days, which is used in the IPCAM too.It pushes TI out by quality/price ratio.

FindFace is a very interesting piece of technology. It's legit (the authors, N-Tech.Lab, have successfully competed against google and other strong opponents in MegaFace Benchmark). It's not real-time, but fast enough (0.5-1.0 minute time required to recognize faces and provide their profile links). Their business model is freemium (first 10 or 30 searches per month are free), and they're trying to make it a matching service, you can narrow search by age and relationship status, and then you can like photos of people you find to allow searching for "your type" of partners.
I would guess that from his perspective (which may not be what the court decides is the right perspective, of course) he might be thinking something like, "hey, we started this together, I had these 10 ideas, we parted ways because we have the wrong personalities to work together, now I see 8 of my 10 ideas in the finished product (even if it's out of, say, 100 total ideas or whatever) -- and I feel like you never actually compensated me for about a month of genius that I provided. By helping you start this thing it was secretly our baby all along, and I was okay with you doing whatever you pleased with it while it was a bunch of crazy ideas that hadn't proven their mettle; but now that they have, this is my last chance to speak up for my fair share."

Again, that's not necessarily the truth, but if you want to understand the psychology of how someone can claim this stuff and feel reasonable about it, that's how. We've very much only heard one side of this discussion and while Altman's side is very reasonable, it'd be interesting to see the other side.
It classified my picture of a dog as inappropriate content and wont display it. Dang it.
Based on the cousin-comments in this thread, I don't think it would. Part of the benefits come from static analysis, but that static analysis uses annotations (such as for pre and post conditions) that the Rust to C compilation would not have.
Not disputing you, but I have heard this story recounted a lot in various ways, but when I remember digging deeper into it, there were things that just didn't match up (basically, the amount of crop that could blew to their fields vs what was found out was very different and most likely had to be intentional). Also, if I remember correctly, Monsanto didn't really sue them. There are a lot of contradictory sources around, but from: http://www.dailytech.com/Monsanto+Defeats+Small+Farmers+in+C...

> Wrote the judge, "[the allegations] are unsubstantiated ... given that not one single
plaintiff claims to have been so threatened." She also complained that the farmers had "overstate[d] the magnitude of [Monsanto's] patent enforcement", which documents indicated entailed 13 cases last year, which she opined "is hardly significant when compared to the number of farms in the United States, approximately two million."

ps: not taking sides, just letting you know that MAYBE you have been mislead (as I was)
Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought one of the key ideas of a MVP is that it's something you put in the hands of customers to get feedback on. How many of those 1,000s have you given to customers?

You're misunderstanding, and I don't blame you because I don't think I'm explaining it well. First, I do not disagree that this is very likely intentional "easter egg" behavior programmed in by the developers. However, this behavior could just as easily be a result of chance, even though it is 100% reproducible.

When you look at how older video games are developed, you almost always have to first consider what the extreme constraints are. Nowadays you can get away with paying very little mind to, say, how much disk space a video game takes. Even optical disk space matters little, as additional content could be downloaded as a part of the game installation process.

On older games, however, disk space, processor usage, RAM, everything was in terribly short supply. As a result, lots and lots of shortcuts were taken. A more well-known example is how the Mario Bros clouds and bushes used the same sprite with a different color palette. [1]

So when developing a game under those constraints, the developer would have had to be keenly aware of how much was going on at any given time and whenever possible re-use any existing processes or assets. In Punch-Out there are several things happening on the screen at once, between the movements of the crowd and the enemy. When it came time to implement the "super punch", the developer would have probably wanted to re-use any existing RNG process already being run, rather than run a whole new RNG for that action alone, in the interest of conserving resources. In this case, they could have chosen the same RNG results that drive the head-bob in the crowd NPC.

I understand that Y Combinator keeps recordings of YC interviews so that they can go back and analyze their decisions for failed investments or anti-portfolio companies. This would be a very good time for them to go back and review that interview, and I wonder if it will be brought up in court.
I like the idea that people who want to use things will be able to continue using them in the future. Nobody is forcing you to use them.
I'm gonna get a lot of hate for this opinion of mine:

This seems like a great way to muddy the waters for any potential future jury trial.

What a shameful move on the part of Sam Altman, using such a soapbox to publicly put somebody's personal ethics on trial, and for personal monetary gain.
> a little cnc machine or a 3d printer you can make a movement for pennies

you need to do a little more research on what goes into even assembling the movement, much less the manufacturing, etc.
This doesn't take all that much speculation.

The developers are quoted halfway down the page as having included the timing cues for opponents intentionally.

We (the gaming community) have known this since 2009 when that interview came out, so it's kind of amusing that people are making tech-based arguments trying to debunk a cultural fact they aren't familiar with. It could have been an unintentional artifact of the PRNG, sure, but it isn't. At the very least it was intentionally not removed.

If nothing else, those cues probably helped QA quite a bit.
That's a reasonable reaction, but take a look here http://nintendoeverything.com/punch-out-has-a-22-year-old-se...

The subject of the interview suggests that there are lots of yet-undiscovered Easter eggs in the game.
Looks like the same idea ha
Various businesses have a "take pictures of customers" policy. Medical offices are one example, due to insurance fraud they say. They typically don't ask. They simply tell the customer that they are about to take a picture and it is over before they know it.

When I spot such a camera I stand to the side so they have to ask me to move in front of the camera. Which is when I politely refuse to participate. They don't like that very much. Last time, the person made a "well you might not be able to refuse next time" remark. He may be correct, or not, we'll see.

These are cases where the images should never be uploaded to a public database or shared with any other parties. However, given the increasing use of SaaS and cloud providers, exposure to some third-parties is highly likely. Any consumer information hitting the cloud is at high risk of abuse.

In addition to those scenarios you have cameras behind ATMs, cameras embedded within grocery store self-checkout lines, etc and so forth. It has already become difficult to control your image and, in some cases, prevent that image from being combined with other personally identifiable information.
In that case, your first and third statements certainly seem in conflict. You don't actually believe in any practical sense that people should be able to make their own (unhindered) decision on what to eat if you're going to punish them for it and prevent them from doing it again.
LLVM had a c backened, it is no longer maintained. There was a project [1] to resurrect it but there hasn't been a commit in 11 months so I don't know the state of it.

I've seen it come up a lot for various reasons related to rust so maybe someone will do the work. I think most of the reasons you'd want a C backened could be solved better just by extending the compiler, but not this case (closed source c-only utility).

I'm not sure I agree about Amazon vetting products they sell, but singling them out in this case seems a little unfair, because there's something about this product that ties it to Amazon.

Presumably I could buy the same cameras on eBay or Walmart or somewhere else and also get malware.
From my experience, their prices are much lower than those offered by the competition.

All things being equal, even if the only advantage Theranos has over its competition is lower pricing, I'd take it, because having access to affordable medicine has numerous positive implications for the entire society. What's the point of all the medical innovation if people cannot afford it? Ideally we should strive for both innovative and affordable healthcare, but unfortunately things in the healthcare sector are moving extremely slow.

You can install an ingress queue and apply a filter to inbound traffic. There are few other more arcane techniques but you're right that control is quite limited.

Here's an example for something I was working on yesterday (traffic policing to simulate slow download):

sudo tc qdisc add dev eth0 handle ffff: ingress
sudo tc filter add dev etch0 parent ffff: protocol ip prio 50 u32 match ip src 0.0.0.0/0 police rate 30kbit burst 3k drop flowid :1

Unfortunately, very early-stage founders don't always do paperwork before starting to work together (which seems to be the case here, although it seems very little work was done). Obviously, it would be easier if they did.

It's not going to matter what they need. The technology advances with a rhythm of its own. It has done so for hundreds of years, predictably. Not even big wars were able to put a dent in its pace. Just like Google replaced libraries as our source of information, Napster affected the music industry and social networks affected news, there's going to be an AI transition and it will happen no matter what. It's important to keep access to AI open and not place its power just in the hands of a few.

It will be the continuation of the mobile phone era. Mobile phones with search engines and social networks empowered billions of people, they are their main communication device, some don't even have a TV or laptop, but they still have a phone. All people got to have phones, and all our modern phones are amazing compared to the best phones from a decade ago. What technology has given to everyone not even money could buy a mere 10 years ago. But on the other hand, the phone empowered surveillance and the big brother.

The AIs will amplify this effect even more. They will empower people to a higher degree than phones did, but they will make people easy targets for manipulation. They will allow an extremely intimate knowledge about a person and direct access to influence him/her, to the technologists who control the AI.

A friend of mine works for VW's engine computer division. Yes, those engine computers. After all I've heard of their development methods (or lack thereof), I'm surprised the engines even start more often than one time out of ten.
Isn't this a non-issue? Security by obscurity is weak. Not just a WebRTC issue: any p2p communication will do this. With IPV6 its a non-issue as well?
I wonder how much battery might be saved with an "invert colors" mode for nighttime reading. I love that feature for my various iPad reading apps and desperately wish my Paperwhite had that capability. It would be so much easier on the eyes as well.
Yes, but there are a number of people that have gone though periods of using one and then the other. I have, at least anecdotal, experience with both.

I worked on the first release of AIX for IBM. Their lawyers took a couple of years to get comfortable with the Emacs license so I switched to using vi for two or three years. (At one point I had to demo a Lisp system running on AIX at at AAAI conference and I could barely work the built in emacs-based editor.) Eventually, I was able to switch back to Emacs on AIX.

My own preference is Emacs for it's breadth of features and its customizations, but I still miss the feeling of speed that I had while navigating source code with Vi or Vim. I still toy with Vim every so often, but I've forgotten so much that I just plod along. Spacemacs is currently on my system, but I usually prefer my own set of customizations and just stick with Emacs and its ordinary bindings. Nevertheless, Spacemacs is an work of genius.

I'd encourage everyone to learn basic vi (say what's taught in the tutorial), it's everywhere. After that, IMHO, either of these ancient editors is wonderful and worth adopting.

Someday I'm hoping that a new Emacs will be developed built along the lines of Neovim. Digging into the internals of a big Emacs package is pretty painful for me when all I am doing is trying to fix some aspect of my editing experience (see https://xkcd.com/1205/). I'd like a more modern extension language than elisp. While I'm dreaming, someone please rewrite LaTeX to use a real programming language instead of its Turing complete macro language.
Slightly tangential, but a good eye opener for me was the Cash for Clunkers program...

To perform an average rebate of $4000 per car, cost the taxpayers and industry $24,000 per car.

Anything the government gets into, with some notable exceptions (e.g., highway construction in the 60s), ends up with little net gains and usually a 5x overrun in costs.

I like to think Sam is a relatively sane guy with good intentions. He seems to have wrote this to send a message, which means he believes in the principal of what he's doing, which is what makes it easy to trust.

It actually seems a lot more unfathomable to me that an expert & thought-leader in startups would (1) be wrong & (2) risk his personal reputation just to make a bit more money. Finally, given the timing, it's pretty obvious Jeremy is shaking down his (ex?) friend for some money.

If you believe equity should be granted out of thin air for working on something then well, you live in a different world than I do my friend. I trust the legal system (via contracts) to lock something like this down otherwise it's literally heresay.
In the coin-op arcade Punch Out the opponents eyes flashed yellow just before they threw a punch (or started a sequence). That's also true in the last Wii version.

This looks amazing, and is so timely! I'm taking a supply chain management class. Though the pre-reqs said basic algebra was fine, they mention a lot of Calculus and I feel like I'm not fully understanding the material without it.

One of my biggest frustrations about learning math is that I don't get the concept, and it makes it hard for me to just work through equations. So your approach looks fantastic to me. The motivation level and how much time is available-- that's exactly what I need. The 1 minute breakdown was perfect. I learned something immediately, and more importantly-- I was then excited and intrigued about learning.

I seriously can't thank you enough for this.
People in general look very much like gorillas. They are close cousins after all. Telling humans and other apes apart can't be very easy for a poor, overworked neural network.
