Do you have a system to block, mitigate or monitor for "strange" IP blocks accessing systems they've never accessed before? It's a great idea if not. We have, unfortunately, had to do this in webhosting/billing for a long time due to the amount of fraud from specific blocks.

Not as dynamic, but for instance LastPass will allow you to blacklist or whitelist entire country IP blocks. A system that also monitors (on your end, or maybe alerts the customer) that their machine in Kansas all of a sudden has multiple IPs from China/whatever accessing it (on your end seeing this globally through the network as well) would be great to mitigate events like this. If you go on vacation, you can remove the block.

So far every report I've seen has been Guangzhao/Yangzhao in the access reports. Could easily, easily nip that in the bud. Obviously other proxies could be used but something like a remote access system is something people should be locking down tightly.

Why is Karl Marlantes of all people reviewing one of the classics in the NY Review of Books this week? I feel like I'm missing some context like, "In this installment of Legends Reviewing Legends, Matterhorn author and NC recipient Karl Marlantes reviews the timeless classic 'Storm of Steel' by Ernst Junger".

By the way if you liked Storm of Steel check out Black Edelweiss or for that matter Blood and Steel. One of the things that truly throws my head for a loop is the extent to which the Prussian military culture has influenced so many organizations, both military and civilian, for both the good and the bad over more than a century.

The problem with your argument is that you admit "the statistics look good" but then present a bunch of unsubstantiated personal opinions ("getting worse all the time", "boring") that are just not supported by the available data.

Why are we content to let the pictures and videos we create disappear though?
Yes, but presumably you're running far fewer docker images than you have binaries that would be affected if you statically compiled everything. For example, I assume in a statically compiled system, an update to zlib will likely affect a lot more packages than docker images you are running (on a server I admin, there's 3 binaries in /bin that link to zlib, and 374 binaries in /usr/bin, which will condense down to some smaller, but still likely quite large set of OS packages). It's easier in a dynamically linked system, where you can just replace the library, but it's not that much better for the sysadmin, as if you want to make sure you are running the new code, you need to identify any running programs that have linked to zlib and restart them, as they still have the old code resident in memory.
I can't say their support was great. Their server version seems to be full of security holes, I'm sure there are zero days circulating they don't know about.

You obviously know quite a bit. Please make your posts valuable to others by being civil and substantive, especially when others know less than you do. Then we all learn.

I like Common Lisp too, and agree with most of the substantive parts of what you've said, but that is less important than preserving this community. We detached this subthread from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11826768 and marked it off-topic.

>> There are fewer women, proportionally, who "climb ladders" successfully. This implies that there are fewer capable women than men in the world.

Or, they make different life choices.

>> The mother being present is not required for a child to be exclusively breastfed anymore. Pumping is quite effective. The only argument for only the woman to be taking the time off and making these career compromises is one that views women as the only capable caregivers.

Fine. Don't be a good parent. Women are not the only capable caregivers. Men can be equally good. Women can be equally shitty. Unfortunately, law treats women specially. Get this law to treat women the same as men.

>> And this can't be done with both partners sharing in childcare responsibilities and working? The data is out there (see my other posts) to show that SAHM are significantly more angry, depressed, etc. than their working counterparts. Is this a win for the mother and the baby?

Do you think that women are incapable of "playing point guard", i.e. providing for their family?

No. Women certainly can play point guard. But when was the last time you saw a woman date a deadbeat? No woman wants to date a man who sits at home....implicitly, men who are going to become a parent work (or have to work).

Women can play point guards when they start having families with deadbeats.

>> I've stayed at home with child. I know that it's hard. Being a successful PARENT is hard too, and the reason that motherhood is even harder for the majority of the people that I know is their sole responsibility as child-rearer.

It's not the mother's sole responsibility. But at least one partner has to take more care of the kid while the other partner sacrifices their social life for work. You can have men sitting at home taking care of the kid, but I don't see many women married to men like that. Care to set an example?

On Tuesday, I published an interactive chart of Salaries/Equity offered to prospective job applicants in the Bay Area on AngelList: http://minimaxir.com/2016/05/sfba-compensation/

Are you joking? We shouldn't blame the analyst who was actively recommending people buy garbage but we should blame her interns? The buck stops with her. If she hadn't looked at the data then she had no business recommending other people to buy something. People lost real money and lots of it. Saying she made "some bad calls" is an insane understatement. She profited heavily from other peoples losses. So yes we should continue to hold in low regard someone who so willfully misled the public for her own gain. And no its not a bubble because someone made "some bad calls."

> His tone and lack of content other than an unsubstantiated opinion are why there was no interesting discussion.

It was not unsubstantiated. If I define a good business as a business with profits, this definition has a lot of substance. Jack Dorsey obviously achieved a lot of personal success and money from Twitter, I am not blind about his amazing achievements. Amazing because they are statistically difficult to obtain at this scale. BUT, being a public company is a different stage of the game. As an startup you can be amazing while the finances are hidden but when you are public you need to build a sustainable business and this is not happening.

And David Chalmers has an excellent rebuttal to Dennett's rebuttal. Different people take different sides, and I'm with Chalmers on this one.

The evidence for the conceivability of p-zombies is in your living room, if you have a television. You can see people on it and they behave intelligently. Are they conscious? Of course not, they're just red, green, and blue dots. Maybe we could make this a bit more realistic?

You're now in a very realistic virtual reality. Your character is conscious, because you are. So is the character being played by your friend over there (assuming he's not a p-zombie). But what about the characters next to you? Maybe Doug Lenat and Geoffrey Hinton collaborated and developed an AI as intelligent as a person, and that's what controls them. They can't be conscious, because they're just pixels like the dots on your flat-screen TV, so not conscious in the virtual reality, and they're not conscious in the real world either, because they're just software, which is an epiphenomenon, like wetness or tidiness. The computer which runs the VR, and the AIs, might be conscious but that would be a very different consciousness from yours. Maybe it senses voltage levels at its memory addresses, but it certainly wouldn't see you or the submachine gun you're carrying in the VR.

Maybe we already are in a virtual reality. Nick Bostrom thinks we might be. If it's sufficiently realistic, there might be no way to tell, and no way to tell whether everyone is conscious, or nobody is conscious except you.
This exactly.

While I think Twitter could improve their UI by leaps and bounds, Snapchat's UI is just incomprehensible. However I'm a strong believer in it being 100% intentional at this point.

UFS snapshots (for tarsnap to reference) sometimes panic'd the box.

There were a few ZFS deadlocks, but I never got to the bottom of it and FreeBSD 10 seemed to fix them.

Yes, FreeBSD 10 definitely fixed a bunch of ZFS deadlocks.

I feel like what they're doing is good in general but at the same time not my scene for a lot of the same reasons that you mentioned.

I suspect that women-oriented tech organizations lean that way because a large number of people who are women in tech AND who show up to meetups are women who don't have programming jobs and want them.

I also think there's a culture that pushes women into lead positions/managment because that will have a very obvious benefit to women who work in tech that work under them.

There's been a couple of initiatives that are more about the passion-side of tech that are oriented towards women. Double Union was a pretty good group for that when I was in SF.
Right after Google shut down Reader for me. Twitter remains the best source of news + programming + local + academic content for me. Although on the whole I'm a little burned out on 'content' in general.
This was an unexpectedly interesting talk, considering that from the framing I expected it to consist of essentially "Penrose, everyone thinks the Godelian thing is stupid, please just stop." Instead we got a theory (very theoretical, but still interesting) relating consciousness to the cosmological boundaries of the universe.

If only I understood it! Does anyone else know how to interpret the sentence "in order for you to be unpredictable and unclonable, someone else’s ignorance of your causal antecedents would have to extend all the way back to ignorance about the initial state of the universe"? That and the following couple of paragraphs seem to establish something really interesting, but I haven't been able to follow it.
Amen. Honestly I think that the popular idea (in the technology world) that magical hardware/software are going to "replace all the jobs" is wishful thinking. I don't think that the very baubles that amuse and distract humanity will also be its doom or its salvation.

Not to shit all over other peoples' career choices, but those and fresh startups are exactly the sort of places that hardly ever pass my shit-test for work environment.

The absolute best places to work, I've found, are in (non-tech or tangentially tech) businesses that have a solid tech team but aren't in the Tech Co Echochamber. Surveying my friends and colleagues seems to point to the same.

I've used Rust on a variety of ARM Cortex-M based microcontrollers including Atmel SAMD21, NXP LPC1830, and STM32F4. AVR is tougher because that's an 8-bit architecture with very new support in LLVM.

On microcontrollers, you use libcore instead of the full libstd, for lack of an OS or memory allocator. Libcore is easy to cross compile because it has no dependencies. You provide a target JSON file to specify LLVM options, and a C toolchain to use as a linker, and nightly rustc can cross-compile for platforms supported by LLVM.

https://github.com/hackndev/zinc is a good starting point.

Things like interrupt handlers and statically-allocated global data require big chunks of unsafe code. Rust has a promising future in this space, but it will take more experimentation to get the right abstractions to make microcontroller code more idiomatic.
Their response has already lost my trust.

Hope they realize they may have just sealed their own graves with their flippant handling of these claims.

>What if instead of massive seeking of profiteering we actually double down on our efforts to improve lives today, right now in this very moment instead of some far distant realization of "when all jobs are automated" which is a highly debatable premise, and if even true, a long ways away.

I would note that the "fight to prevent future catistrophic climate change" is exactly like this as well...

"We must immediately upend the existing social order because of some distant and uncertain threat that looms in the future!"
The "status quo" can be discrimination against men even if a small minority of schools actually implement this policy. If one tech company out of one hundred had a policy in place whereby female employees were required to come to work early in order to make coffee, we'd likely be talking about regressive culture at all tech companies, not just complaining about a shitty policy enforced by a few outliers.

We would do so because one company out of one hundred implementing such a policy would be highly likely to indicate some shitty attitudes everywhere, even if the shitty attitudes didn't always translate to that particular shitty policy. Likewise, even if most schools do not have this policy, even a few percent of schools implementing a policy which amounts to "men are to be considered sexual predators until proven otherwise, and even then" is probably enough to indicate we have some fucked-up culture going on even in schools that don't actually have this policy.

In other words, the fact that this rule isn't slapped the fuck down for the insane bullshit that it is, same as if the school had a strict "no lesbians" policy, even if it is the only school on the planet to implement this particular policy (which it isn't), already indicates an unacceptable tolerance for this kind of sexism at a societal level.

Moreover reminder you're the one who brought up "status quo" in the first place. The rest of us are talking about what keeps people out of a profession. Status quo may indeed not be assuming that all men are sexual predators, yet the likelihood of same may still be high enough to keep men out of the profession.
Flip it and look at it from the other side. Your inbox filling up with emails and attachments creates cognitive load; you have to decide what to do with all of them eventually. When you're consuming stories/snaps you see it, and it's gone. No overhead.
And yet the Play Store generates way less money than the App Store. It's ridiculous how lopsided the difference is actually. I mean, does that 15% really have more spendable money than the other 85%? Something else has to account for these results.
This is a common dilemma in finance, the key is the possibility of outsized returns made possible with leverage. Let's say you have done well at your bank for the last X years and you have an audited track record somehow and a decent amount of saved bonuses. Time to go work for yourself.

Option 1: hedge fund: take a large amount of outside capital, but also sink enough skin into the fund that your interests appear aligned. If things go well, you can become a billionaire within a decade. If things go badly, you're burnt out of the industry (with famous exceptions) and you've lost a significant part of your net worth.

Option 2: start a prop shop or just trade your own assets, take no outside capital, go more slowly and take less risk (as less hunger for returns) and you might have a lower probability of burning it all, but you can only increase your net worth so much within the same decade. At most a few multiples of what you started with.

If there's a bull market, the first strategy is especially attractive because a. you can level up like crazy because debt is cheap (on top of the investments in your fund which are also coming in cheap) b. everything goes up, so just find the more volatile stocks (e.g. tech) as they go up faster. This strategy has made many people rich but you need to find a way out before the crash, because you'll find the perfect storm of your financing terms tightening suddenly, your high volatility stocks cratering faster than the rest of the market (that's why you selected them!) and your LPs (investors) all wanting out at the same time. There'll be white knights but they'll take their pound of flesh.

The prop shop partner on the other hand can wait out the crisis and buy the bottom or safely trade the volatility. He has comparatively less pressure on all of the above. These are the moments of greatest opportunity.

I always thought the same applied to startups. Eschew massive financing if you can, aim for lower volatility markets, and start the thing in a downturn when you have less competition and people are more sensitive to quality, is a lower upside but higher probability of upside strategy.
>>Don't be a good parent.

Nice to see where this is going.

>>Get this law to treat women the same as men.

Wrt to parental leave, that's what I've been advocating for throughout this thread. I think that the social and legal status quo sets up women as the caregiver defaults, which is harmful to women.

>>Women can play point guards when they start having families with deadbeats.

Or, men could leave their jobs and let women return to work at a more reasonable rate. You're again assuming that the male has to be the provider. Why can't a man sacrifice his current career path while his partner continues hers?

>>You can have men sitting at home taking care of the kid, but I don't see many women married to men like that. Care to set an example?

I think you've missed the point. This is exactly what I did. Both my partner and I have CS degrees from a top 10 university, and we decided that her career looked more promising.
