There isn't really such a thing as faster than light. It's more that light travels at c, than that c is the speed of light. By way of analogy, it'd be like having a chart with an x and y axis, and having a line going straight up the y axis, then asking "but how can we make it more along the y axis?". I realise in terms of numbers it makes sense, but in terms of physics it doesn't. There's no such thing as faster than light through spacetime.

Travelling at c, your perception of time would have stopped. From that point, it can't become more stopped, any more than you can go faster.

>> not really. Even ignoring that decent at this point should be minimum 1080p60. A great many games don't even try for that, and they still experience stutter.

I don't agree about that. Yes 1080p60 is always better, but if a game runs at stable 720p30 I will enjoy it just as much. My experience with PS3 and PS4 games are that with rare exceptions, they all at least provide an acceptable baseline that does not ruin the experience.

The problems I experience with some PC games are of a completely different kind, it's not that I think they should be prettier or run at higher framerates, but that they have glaring technical problems that completely ruin the experience. My last example would be Darksiders 2, a relatively old game that has visuals and game mechanics that don't warrant high system requirements at all, yet even though my PC is far above the recommended specs, has framerate spikes or (with VSync off) screen tearing that gives me headaches basically makes it impossible to play. This game also has a PS4 remake that (arguably) performs below what the hardware should be ablt to pull off (it runs at 30fps instead of 60fps), but at least it's consistent.

Usually you can tweak your way around problems like this, but that's the whole point of a console: not having to do these things...
Tell me about it.

Got an email from my bank yesterday, "You have an urgent notification waiting on our website! We won't tell you anything about it via email for security reasons!" So I log into the bank, go to the notifications section, "Notification! You have a new IMPORTANT document." Click on documents: "Here's the monthly statement for your savings account."

Thanks guys. I hope you never need to contact me about something urgent.
I do wish people would stop romanticizing autism with phrases like "beautiful minds".

From personal experience, I can tell you that there is nothing too beautiful about growing up with a brother who never stopped throwing tantrums like a toddler, whose intelligence never developed beyond about three years old, and who without the right medication won't stop hitting his own forehead and barking like a dog.

Flaw in Uber Protocols Led to Non-Trivial Safety Issue
tl;dr a flaw in Uber's security protocols can allow an unscreened anonymous driver to pickup passengers.

I just spent an hour as a passenger in an UberX driven by someone completely anonymous (with potentially no security screening/background check). They somehow managed to upload a stock photo of a generic hand instead of a profile of their face. This is non-trivial breach of Uber's system because it meant it was impossible for me to know if the person driving the car was the same as the person who applied for this Uber Driver account. This is not supposed to happen!

Checkout a photo from my Uber App: http://imgur.com/XTINSpD.png and compare to this stock-photo: http://www.shutterstock.com/pic-201949108/stock-photo.html

There is a vulnerability (or at the very least, lax policies/insufficient redundant checks in place) in Uber's profile pic screening system that allows unscreened drivers to potentially pickup passengers. I hope they get to the bottom of this soon.

I've been in touch with Uber's security team who did take the issue seriously and they agreed with my basic conclusion (and confirmed that humans normally screen all profile pics) so I hope there isn't a technical vulnerability enabling a photo to be swapped after the manual-check has been done.
No, I mean to say that I'm on the boring side of the line.

But penetration testing is a job that exists. People are hired to do exactly that under contractual terms with the target. (And I don't mean to imply that's the only security job in the more-rewarding/fun category.)
Comment winner.
Potentially, at some point (i.e. not the MVP) as a "power user" option.

For the MVP, I would simply order by the Due Date, with "Important" (starred) items jumping to the top of the list (and if there are multiple "Important" items, they get ranked by Due Date. "Overdue" items (i.e. where the Due Date is in the past) would get jump over the "Important" items.

So, in this mock-up - https://disruptdecentralisedisintermediate.files.wordpress.c... - you see a bunch of items ranked by Due Date (i.e. the ones towards the bottom of the list have a Due Date further in the future), with an "Important" item ("Draft product roadmap presentation") above the others (even though it is Due _after_ the "Get milk" and "Call Cynthia.." items) and the "Call Joe Bloggs" item appears right at the top (and is highlighted) because it is Overdue.

Wow.

I'm an occultist. One of the first regimens I did so to learn occultism was grounding and centering. It's very much an esoteric skill, and not something to be cited in a paper... unless it was being discussed under a 'microscope'.

I would enjoy in using fMRI or other diagnostic tools to see what physiologically happens when I do those things. But I have no qualms; that shouldn't be in any academic paper until my recommendation of measuring it is done.

The 5th Amendment always applies. It is a right I have always, no matter what that cannot be legally removed. I do not have to be charged with anything to exercise it. This is a common misconception. If testimony is compelled, as in this case, I have a right not to self-incriminate. The government does not have a right to deny my other rights, like they are doing here, by holding me indefinitely without charges (cruel and unusual punishment, denial of due process).

But all of the above is purely theoretical these days. As you can see, our government can do whatever it wants with little to no consequences. The Constitution isn't worth the paper it was written on and talking about 'justice' in America is like some sort of sick joke (this has always been true in America's history except as it applies to small classes of highly privileged, rich, white people).

I would imagine an advantage of the rail design is that you can build them in existing factories already hooked up to the rail system and just drive them to the location, rather than having to truck-transport the parts and assemble locally.
Respectfully disagree, here. Infosec has been trying the education path for decades, now. It's not working. Either something needs to change about the educational process, or acceptance that it's failed is warranted.

I think fixing development will be more optimal than fixing users. There is no legitimate reason that OWASP top ten or lack of buffer bounds checking should still be in the wild in 2016, whereas users will always fall for scams, phishing or otherwise.
If you tap on a search result in "ok google" it'll launch in your default browser, not necessarily chrome.

The forced launch into Edge is the only kinda suspect thing here. Of course the voice goes through each companies respective search engines, they kinda have to to work unless there's some standard for voice queries I'm not aware of. But forcing it to launch in Edge is questionable since there's nothing special there.

I didn't even click the article (the pain of reading it seemed too large) so I came directly to the comments.

Awesome tips! "Our instincts know what they're doing" is very true. I tend to procrastinate when two conditions are fulfilled 1) the task is boring/painful, and 2) in the back of my mind, I've already calculated out the time and I can afford to push it until later. Trying to force myself just increases my expected pain of the task, so I should just go with it.

(And look, I'm procrastinating so much I made a HN account so I could comment about procrastination!)
I don't think I have a problem with organizations like google that need to filter candidates. For all I care roll dice. It's companies that have positions open for 6 months waiting on the "one."

Great advice for hiring the first 50-100 hires after that your hurting your self. You just need meat that point.

This is basically the no true Scotsmann argument. Things that I believe in aren't conspiracy theories, because I don't believe in conspiracy theories, I'm just better informed.

In any case, maybe we're a bit off point here, but what ZH posts is definitely closer to "NSA is spying on everybody" than to "lizards run the world" or "moon landing never happened".
Or stop farming Almonds which use 1/2 as much water as all non farm use combined. Agriculture alone is 80% of all water use in the state. So, running out is less of an issue than trying to farm land that's just shy of a desert.
> So, I was in! A 3 month contract was drafted that would run through Blueshift, so if anything went south, either of us could walk away, no harm, no foul.

You are a contractor. You can walk away. And so can they. Why create trouble?

> About a week into the project I began having bladder problems.

> So for the next 4 weeks I missed a ton of work for doctors appointments, and coaching, and fitness, and whatnot to get my life on track.

Right after the project starts, you become unreliable for them for 4 weeks out of a 3 month project.

> This time I gave them 6 weeks of notice.

You have a solid week. Then you are in and out for 4 weeks. Then you put in your notice after a week of solid work.

Then you don't show up.

With that timeline, you would have to expect to get fired. It happens. Move on. Don't look back.

All the public posts makes for a nightmare to deal with. They hired you and then they had to deal with you trashing the company on social media. And now you are trashing them on another platform.

Another huge mistake is that you weren't taking care of yourself. Why show up early and leave late while working as a contractor? Why take work home with you? Just put the time in between start and finish and call it a day. If you are going to put in extra hours, put that time into creating more leads and building your image. Certainly you aren't going to do all that by trashing your previous clients.

I don't think contract work is for you.

The point about turning the tables in a bad interview is an interesting one, but this is mostly "Stop wanting to work for Google ya dummies!" OK, but the problem isn't just how Google hires.

Zero Hedge is NOT a conspiracy site.

I don't know why you make that claim except that, once you did, many other posts on this forum followed suit. In all honesty your claim (that zerohedge is a conspiracy site) and the ensuing posts looks more like conspiracy (blog-spamming or blog-misdirection) than does zerohedge.

zerohedge WAS once a decent current economics site that sometimes featured excellent articles but the responses of members began to decay. Today the responses are mostly noise and I rarely bother to visit zerohedge.

One of the worst is the cyber-security political purist. The person who has drunk the kool-aid so badly and/or likes to use their knowledge to beat others round the head with it. The person who likes to talk about things like "risk/threat modelling" but actually doesn't:

a) Have a real understanding of the needs of the people they say they are trying to help

b) Have the courage to make tough calls related to ideal vs good security.

Working in the NGO security space we get these people all the time. Send them out in front of a bunch of African/Middle Eastern/Asian/Russian activists who have been risking their lives for years for democracy etc etc and all they do it spend three days showing off, berating people and then leaving. Telling everyone that TAILS/PGP/Linux/TrueCrypt etc etc is for everyone and that anything else "is gonna get people killed," so by extension shouldn't be done. There are people who have made entire careers around taking that attitude, which most of the time actually leads to demoralisation and a long-term decrease in security.

It's easy to recommend the hard "cover your ass" stuff because you don't like the NSA, it's harder to say "Hmm, ok we gotta assume some risk that the NSA doesn't care what we're looking at and use a solid Google two-factor here and see how we get on...now how do we stop the security guard from selling you out?"
This is a big reason I stayed away from infosec, although it fascinates me in many aspects.

IMO, security orgs, especially within companies have this awful reputation because they borrowed the credentialing model of project managers and walk around like doctors with an alphabet soup of certifications. Talking to these folks is like crossing a circa-1998 MCSE with a lawyer.

The CPE requirements from CISSP and other certs encourage publishing and delivering talks, which is good -- if the authors/talkers are competent. The side effect within enterprises and some vendors is you develop a cadre of bullshit artists who are great at throwing spears, not so great at doing anything of value.

Both those ideas appear is some form in David Allen's GTD (Getting Things Done). I'm not a particularly big fan overall--I don't much care for systems. But some of his individual ideas include:

- the idea that, if you can do something in 5 minutes or so, just do it rather than keep putting it on to do lists.

- breaking down complex projects into discrete small concrete tasks.

Both are good ideas which do help me.

One thing about procrastination that often seems to be overlooked though is procrastinating about things that really do need to get done sooner or later (If I don't do the expense report, no one else is going to do it for me.) versus procrastinating about doing some project or making some plans because there's a voice questioning whether you really need to or want to do this project at all.

Now, I suppose in the latter case, a hyper-organized person would create an action item to "get more information" or something along those lines. But sometimes letting ideas just sit and percolate in a future projects queue works OK too.
Forty-Year-Old Arcade Game Reveals Secrets of Robot Path Planning
It was. It also has almost nothing to do with anything in the whole series. It should've been one fact in isolation about one part of Le Roux's history. Instead, the author keeps dropping lines about Truecrypt as if to tie Le Roux's name to it and imply he's been behind its funding or shutdown. Without evidence. Repeatedly.

He's better off just leaving it off except the E4M-Truecrypt beginning and the question in court. It wasn't relevant to anything else unless I'm overlooking something. THe rest of the article is about pharmacies, call centers, hitmen, and so on. Nothing to do with TrueCrypt.

Whereas exercise is not required to lose weight, you still can use exercise to optimize the process.
I hate to play Devil's Advocate but accuracy can be important. Geoip means they can serve me offers for businesses in the same city, but I'd [almost] love it if I were served offers for a taqueria down the street from my browsing location.

More than likely they'll just correlate browsing habits with location and sell that information to third parties, though. High quality advertising is just not in this reality.
Density helps. But environmental issues help more. There are only so many viable locations for large-scale hydro storage, and it always means drowning some valley. Just building a set of rails up a hill is much less environmentally invasive.

One of the biggest wins of this model, really, is the low environmental impact, relative to hydro or batteries. Fewer regulatory hurdles, more potential locations. But in the end, cost effectiveness is what will win, and to some degree, that will be location-dependent. Is there geography we can exploit? Will it be in a populated area? What's the proximity to wind or solar farms?

Solving the storage problem in a cost-effective way is the key to transitioning from poison fuels to clean power. Once it's cheaper than coal/LNG/nuclear, the world will switch over quickly.
Don't worry, it's not unusual for recruiters to just forget about you, or trying to get travel expenses reimbursed for a couple months after the unsuccessful interview process. Given that interviews are free form and you didn't enter a contractual agreement beforehand, I'd just start looking elsewhere, while pinging them regularly as long as you're still looking. Heck, there are firms that return to you 12 months later, especially on Wall Street, so it's not that unusual.
It'd be nice if there were a function annotation for this.
