Here are some new rules of warfare that the F35 is designed for:

"Blackhawk Down" If you lose even one aircraft crew as we did in Somalia, you may be forced to retreat from the entire war. So it makes sense to spend 10x to go from 99.9% -> 99.99% safety.

"Battle of the Civs, Proxy war edition": Fighter planes are less relevant to hugely asymmetric warfare the U.S. is engaged in, and expects to engage in the near future. These fights consists of the most advanced military technology against insurgents with machine guns and RPG's. Clearly drones are better in this area, and Missiles of all classes bring more destruction and accuracy to the traditional fighter role of deterring the threats of advanced weapon systems against your ships/bases.

However in the smaller proxy wars of e.g. Syria, Ukraine a traditional fighter jet still makes sense, and in fact could be a crucial deciding factor. So what the F35 program is doing is building a machine that can give a strong advantage in a regional war. And by controlling the access to the machine, the U.S. gets a say in the conflict without entering it.

"Terrorist hideout or hospital?" - collateral damage has always been a part of aerial combat but bad PR seems to do be especially discouraging to today's democracies. So weapon systems have to be even smarter and more precise.

"Software is eating the world" - As others have mentioned this is at least an order of magnitude increase in software functionality over the F22. And yes, an autonomous vehicle will probably be the main aircraft in the fleet in 20-30 years. So the F35 is this kind of avant-guarde experiment in how to structure contracts, maintain and deploy weapons which are primarily based on software.
"If they disobey the law, it must have consequences, no matter how big and important to brazilian society they are."

Well, law does not work this way. Execution of law MUST comply with some rules, e.g. proportionally. Lack of proportionally (execution will harm 100 m people, no less) is the sound reason to suspend the order.
Note I dont agree o disagree with the law.

> Make a communications platform that's technically impossible to block, and government will not make itself look foolish attempting to block it.

Actually that's exactly what they'll do just as they continue to try with DRM. Governments don't care about looking foolish, they care about maintaining power and they will do so even if it requires outlawing said technology.
>Minimalist work sample tests do not work.

I've had a lot of success hiring with minimalist work samples.

>Otherwise it's not a work sample test; it's an intro.

Well, like I said, I think the work sample should only be needed to show basic awareness and that the rest of the process should be based upon the course of a discussion around the candidate's relevant experience, the company's needs and intended role for the candidate, etc., so perhaps it's not wrong to call the code sample an "intro". I referred to it as a "litmus test", meaning it's a simple pass/fail; they are either able to throw something together in 1-2 hours showing that they have basic awareness and competence dealing with the problem space, or they're not.

Overall fit is much more important than something like "candidate Y has better indentation habits". Human cycles are thousands of times more valuable than CPU cycles. It's better to choose the good fit candidate whose coding habits can be trained up over the course of his employment than the unstable abrasive candidate whose code ran 1.5x faster than anyone else's.

>whiteboard hazing

Heh, I don't suggest this either.

The frightening reality about hiring is that it can't really be reduced down to a formula. There are subjective judgments that have to be made (in both directions, meaning that you shouldn't be absolutist about things that are correctable in their code sample) if you're going to get good hires and a cohesive team. Questions like "Is this person an active, curious learner?", "Is this person able to field fair critiques of his work product professionally, reasonably, and humbly?", and "Is this person's personality going to mesh OK with the rest of the team within a professional work-day setting?" are all much more important than a raw benchmark of their code sample.

I know that a lot of people don't like that subjectivity, especially when they're on the wrong end of a subjective judgment, but I don't think it's a good idea to discard evaluation on those metrics. We just have to hope hiring managers are using reasonable subjective criteria, and if they're not at the company we want to work for, we gotta move on. Fortunately for us, there are plenty of fish in the sea looking to employ programmers right now.
> Is a smartphone a privileged companion?

From a legislative perspective, that's the outcome I'd most want: people's private smartphones are privileged, full stop. Otherwise, it becomes yet another thing we have to worry about.
Sure but all the countries you mentioned are rife with corruption. Fuck those countries. I stand by my statement then: they are 3Rd world with respect to how they treat humans.

Turkey is a corruption horror show. Mexicos death rate due to cartels is astronomical compared to every other country on earth. Cuba is still driving cars from the fifties and doesn't even have Internet, yet it houses our worst torture center that we know of (yes, all that is the fault of the US CIA) and Iran was an overthrown democracy (CIA again, thanks George) - but you cannot argue that they are not "3rd world" - we fucking kept them that way to exploit them.

The court doesn’t care about encryption – they only want the IP address of the user, so they can identify them.

The judge – which has experience with E2E encryption – says he knows he can’t get the messages.

>as it's a much better gauge of how much money each person has

You've got to be kidding me.

The US has a massive GDP per capita but there are 30 million people struggling to survive without even healthcare.

GDP per capita tells you nothing about how much each person has, it just tells you how much there is and how many people. How's it's split among them is another story.
If you want the "full story", with peer-reviewed sources, about SSRIs, including a true/false on the various assertions that get passed around the Internet often with little justification, I strongly recommend http://slatestarcodex.com/2014/07/07/ssris-much-more-than-yo.... Scott is both a licensed psychiatrist and a very good rationalist with access to a lot of good data, who doesn't easily fall for Internet misinformation and definitely doesn't gloss over the "complicated bits" about the flaws and methodologies in clinical trials. This post is my go-to source for most discussions about SSRIs.
Total GDP (that is, not per capita) is completely irrelevant in determining whether a country is poor. The GDP of Africa is higher than that of Brazil. Does that mean if all the countries in Africa decided to merge into one country tomorrow, it would suddenly not be considered poor? Of course not.

HDI (Human Development Index) and GDP per capita are both much better measurements of how "rich" a country is than raw GDP. Brazil's HDI is 0.755, just below Mexico (0.756)[1]. That's good by global standards, but still "poor" by U.S. standards. Its GDP per capita (PPP adjusted, so being kind to Brazil) is $15,615. The U.S.'s is $55,805[2]

[1]: http://hdr.undp.org/en/composite/HDI

[2]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_(PPP)...
The term is being used pretty accurately here. It's a cooperatively scheduled thread of execution (as opposed to preemptive scheduling, used in many operating systems and the Erlang VM).
You are full of crap. The seventh world economy in the terms you are refering to is meaningless. By your logic, is Brazil welthier than Switzerland or Netherlands? NOT even close.
GDP is MEANINGLESS if you really want to know how the average citizen lives in a country.
The fact is that in Brazil the prices/inflation are through the roof, housing and goods are extremly expensive and their salaries are ridicusly low. Let alone the rampant and systemic corruption.
So no, maybe Brazil as a whole concept is not poor. But the Brazilians? Yes, most of them are.

EDIT: BTW, this is a forum to discuss. If you think I'm wrong say why, don't just downvote. And no, saying "crap" in the internet is not a reason to be wrong.
Still, Martin is near Perth, almost 3000 km away from the location of Wagga Wagga of the https://www.csu.edu.au/anrl/people you've linked. Do you have any link between Martin near Perth and Wright except "Australia"?
Do you have a link for this one?

I was never a big Skype user, but my understanding is that Skype relied on individual users serving as "supernodes" in a peer-to-peer distribution network for messages and calls. The Skype client's default configuration opted you into serving as a supernode, and this was a supremely unpopular move.
Telegram secure chats are more secure than Whatsapp's recent encryption because the code is open source.
If anything Driveless cars is a huge threat to uber. Buying the cars would be a massive capital investment. Right now they rely on their employees/contractors to bring a 20k+ asset to work with them.

Someone like Hertz or a General Motors already have fleets and know how to manage them. All they have to do is engineer an app.

What is easier? A nationwide vehicle fleet or an app that connects drivers to riders.
This is Nick Bilton, occasionally of the NYTimes. Definitely an insider, even if not preaching from the usual pulpit. He's legit and worth reading.
Yep, this is it, debunked :/
> The 1st world and 3rd world country can often be a strange one. South Korea is technically considered a 3rd world country

By both the common current common informal usage (of relatively developed economies) and the original definition (nations allied with the US in the Cold War), South Korea is a first world country.
Well, that way there is nothing to confront or solve because they are not poor and by inference there is no injustice.

It's like us saying, no, there is no racism in the US (or practically any place).
Politico Exposes Clinton Campaign ‘Money-Laundering’ Scheme
In many political science contexts and academies the "3rd world" monicker is considered offensive and obsolete. I am not joking, people do take offense on this term and classification scheme...
Telegram's secret chats are E2E encrypted.
I'm guessing you walked across the city center, not 'Rome', which is fairly large:

Nonsense. No one has come out and said anything of the such. Try reading his book before you comment.
If "favelas" are sign of being 3rd world, what about homeless people, or does your "isolation" prevent you from seeing them?
That sounds incredibly dystopian. A proprietary communication protocol made by a foreign company dominating all communications without recourse sounds like something out of 1984.

I mean, if your doctor is using it, you know you are screwed the day Facebook does anything you disagree with, because you are wholly dependent on them at that point. That was why we even developed interoperable federated messaging protocols over 15 years ago, apparently the world forgot about how bad the 90s were.
I think this statement weird. End-to-end encryption is very recent, the data asked by the judge is for communication made before this feature roll-out. So I'm assuming Whatsapp do have the information for these two particular cases. But I could be wrong.

Anyway, maybe they are just using it for PR support on their position against the court decision, betting that all of that Telegram new users will come back to Whatsapp after the suspension (that's what happened before).
Sorry dang. I shouldn't have used such a politically charged word. Will keep this in mind next time.
You're correct in that I was painting with too broad a stroke by attributing all of NLL to control-flow analysis, I was just trying to be brief. :) Having knowledge of control flow is just one of the approaches that will be used to achieve non-lexical lifetimes, though it is particularly applicable when also talking about MIR given that MIR is structured as a control-flow graph.
One reason is that you just want to call a single instruction, and the overhead of making a function call to another file would be too much. Picking an example from the Linux kernel pretty much at random:

#define mb() asm volatile("mfence":::"memory")
#define rmb() asm volatile("lfence":::"memory")
#define wmb() asm volatile("sfence" ::: "memory")

Those are memory barriers, so they essentially must be inline (they'd be too slow and possibly even change their meaning if they were located in a separate source file and you had to call them).
Ask HN: How do you deal with public/private keys on OS reinstall?
I tend to regenerate them after an OS reinstall and add them wherever necessary. This is quite a lot of work and I was wondering how others handle this.

2/3/4/5/6 stories are significantly cheaper to build.
He's probably using the technical term from international relations, according to which "third world" meant neither aligned with the United States nor the Soviet Union during the Cold War.

Not only is that wrong (the Republic of Korea was and is about as closely aligned with the U.S. as a country can possibly be), but it's confusing, since what was clearly meant in the context of this thread was the different, colloquial meaning of "1st world" meaning "developed" and "3rd world" meaning poor.

Regardless, SK is unambiguously 1st world according to either definition.
But wealthier people are less likely to want mass transit, since they can afford private transportation. That's basically the fundamental issue to providing good mass transit in the US: anybody who can afford to, avoids it.
so you're saying the iphone is made out of people? now it makes sense why they have nets around the manufacturing buildings... gotta recycle those suicides.
It's worth noting that The New York Times, where Nick Bilton worked previously, did not write any articles about Theranos/Holmes. (I checked)

The discussion about the suspiciously positive press strongly resembles uBeam (http://techcrunch.com/2015/04/26/kill-the-cord/): the wunderkind founder, the game changing product. But no practical proof of concept and a weak defense when others point out it violates the laws of physics. (http://techcrunch.com/2015/11/07/wireless-power-charger/)
The reason the courts find the production of passwords to be testimonial is that they are used to access potentially incriminating evidence the specific existence of which the prosecution is not already aware of.

Further, the Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas (with Scalia joining) said that the 5th amendment applies to, "compelled production not just of incriminating testimony, but of any incriminating evidence." https://www.law.cornell.edu/supct/html/99-166.ZC.html

The courts' definition of "witness" is what's relevant in addition to "testimony". Is your smartphone a privileged "witness"? I would think that to be the ultimate decision that needs to be made by the Supreme Court, and one that may in fact hinge on what person is next appointed to the Supreme Court.

Online Descriptions: https://github.com/gravitational/careers

Contact: jobs@gravitational.com

Engineering Interview Process: There is an informal meeting or phone conversation with the founders (may be together or separate depending on timing). If everyone (including you) agrees there is a fit, we create a small engineering project for you to work on with our CTO. It is something that is similar to what you would be building full time but is not something we actually use. This gives you an idea about the type of work you’ll be doing and how we work together. If that project is successful we may want to meet in person if we haven’t already to discuss what the future looks like for all of us. Then if we decide to extend an offer, we give you two weeks to respond.

## About us

Gravitational is an early stage systems & cloud startup in San Francisco out of the YC S2015 batch.

* We are changing the way enterprise software is distributed and run.

* Our customers are people like us, engineers.

* We are well-funded by solid investors.

* We are an experienced team: we founded Mailgun (http://mailgun.com) which was acquired by Rackspace (http://rackspace.com), we created Vulcand (https://github.com/vulcand/vulcand) and some other cool stuff (http://www.rackspace.com/blog/onmetal-the-right-way-to-scale...) at Rackspace.

* We are hackers. We love Linux and low level systems programming and we love helping open source communities and other engineers to get things done.

* We are also dedicated to our families, friends, and hobbies outside of work. Our past experiences building companies taught us about the importance of life and work balance.

If this resonates, we'd like to talk to you.

Max, Amy, and Ned are driving old cars and want new ones. Rather than buying three cars, they decide to go in together and buy one car to share.

Max wants to replace his offroading jeep, Amy wants to replace her fast sports car, and Ned drives an amphicar because he lives on an island.

So Max Amy and Ned go to GM and say "Design us a floating, offroading, sports car please we are trying to save money."

By the end of the day GM has to convince them to take three variants of the same car, but the cost, time and design tradeoffs needed to reach that point were never worth it. When you could have designed three (possibly four) vehicles separately that each excel in their focus area.

Saying that 'well all three would need gauges and windshields anyway' isn't a compelling reason to combine them.

Amazing free trading indicators by LazyBear
I recently started trading BTC and found TradingView through one of LazyBear's indicators (WaveTrend). He is a legend in the trading indicators circle.

He has posted 205 indicators for free so far (also has some up in the app store that can be subscribed to)...

Hope you guys find these useful too.

I don't know if LazyBear is still actively trading, but wherever he is, I wholeheartedly thank him for his contributions. He simply rocks!

So by your logic, since some companies and individuals evade some taxes, it follows that no companies and no individuals pay taxes?
Our sample projects are meant to tell us that a person is technically capable of doing the individual work for a given job. The work day that comes after answers "can they work well with us?"

The criteria for both project/workday is predefined ahead of time, and the part we spend the most time on. Sample projects have ~40 criteria, nothing quite so minute as "indentation habits" but we do give points for "idiomatic use of golang" on the go work.

What we found when we were putting processes in place is that we just shifted our bias. As an exampe: if a recruiting process judges abrasiveness during a traditional set of interviews, it's probably biased. It's better to put people into a work scenario and judge their actual work and how they interact with other people.

Few years ago, went to South America on a mission trip. Got a new Passport for the trip as I'd never been anywhere that required one.

Edit: Ok, maybe not miles, but seriously, had to run to every plane.
While it is true that Telegram's clients are open-sourced, their server-side code is not. So we don't know how information is stored on the server (I do not think that it is encrypted).
