The whole point of using seL4 is that you can use it to provide guaranteed isolation. If you were to use seL4 it would be so that you could write those drivers in user mode and so that a bug in one would not let you extract crypto keys in another.
The market would take over. Very few people want to teach in dangerous inner city neighborhoods, but salaries and incentives induce people to those areas.

If the police and teachers left, salaries would rise to correct the imbalance. Right now salaries are such that people are willing to work in those areas so the market is working.

New York is also crazy expensive yet there's actually a shortage. People are willing to pay those high prices.
Good work on setting this up.

I think I've heard of a similar concept before, but using t-shirts. Setup an "exclusive" t-shirt range, of nice cotton white t-shirts.

The t-shirt would include a picture/logo/design, which was $X - where $X was whatever amount you wanted to pay for the t-shirt.

So you could walk around with a t-shirt that said $100 - or you could walk around with a t-shirt that said $1,000,000 - and people would you know you spent $1m on that t-shirt...
Syntactic sugar that's only natively supported in PostgreSQL? The site's banner says, "A lot has changed since SQL-92". Be that as it may, but it seems no one has really bothered catching up. I wonder why that is...

My guess is that such extensions, while useful, are somewhat marginalised features in terms of usage. Thus, no one ever learns them formally and just Googles for what they need -- if it comes up -- and get the CASE solution, in this case (pun unintentional). Hence perpetuating that pattern. Also, of course, the CASE solution is a lot more powerful as the returned expression, that gets fed into the aggregate function, can be basically anything.
Makes sense. Still thought it was funny. Far as anti-Microsoft bubble, some of us avoid Microsoft by default less for ideology and more since they intentionally piss off customers. Win8 Metro, fighting over start menu, ditching their own frameworks/tools they hype us on, forcing customers to buy better HW just to boot an OS, having BSA develop snitches, surveillance in Win10, and so on. Microsoft, even to former admirers like me, is too much of a liability and cost centet to do business with. Which is funny given NT workstations were the lower cost and liability alternative to UNIX workstations once upon a time. ;)
You're trying too hard.
But the wars weren't connected: aside from some skirmishes between the USSR and Japan (see https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet%E2%80%93Japanese_bord...), there was a British/French/Russian/German war going on in Europe, and a Sino-Japanese war in Asia. It wasn't until Pearl Harbor, and the simultaneous Japanese declaration of war on the European Allied powers, that the two wars became one.
The problem is CAC is probably $1000 or more. So how do you get customers?

Except drone makers have no reason to do this. I've seen the hype with these anti-drone-falcons, but there is still not one case where thy actually caught a drone in the wild.

Even if it were, drone builders do not want to be associated with rule-breaking drones. They are fine with falcons removing drones around, let's say... an airport. And so am I. so no reason to employ such anti-measures.

But from the get-go, the antidrone falcons are such an idiotic idea I can't even begin to take is seriously. The falcon would be killed by the drone. I say that as someone who injured himself with a drone (an average one, even) so I know firsthand how serious the damage can be. It barely can find a place to catch the drone with the models the used in the demo video. If someone flied an octocopter, the only place it can hook onto it is right from below, on the landing gear, and I find that unlikely. This would kill the bird for sure.

I find the very existence of anti-drone tech ridiculous. The who hysteria around this is right out of the middle ages witch-hunt.
>A while ago I was thinking about how people spend a lot of their money on impressing others. Fancy clothes and jewellery, the red sports car, etc. Really all it is, is showing off how much money you've got to waste.

Except often "fancy" clothes simply fit better, are better made. Sports cars can be fun to drive. Those are certainly not a "waste" of money, assuming you have the money to spend, of course.

It's really not all that black and white.

I love the site though, clever.

> Only if you start by assuming that "free" will must, necessarily, be supernatural. But of course, if you start that way, you've started everything in bad faith, because you're going to reject any possible view of the world that relies on science instead of magic.

I'm willing to admit there are parts of science we don't understand, and that people often label this as "magic". In my opinion, sometimes humans call it religion and use it as a form of hope as we continue in the quest to know the unknown. Admittedly, any tool can be used to do harm too, and clearly in 2016, many of us can see how many religions have been perverted. Yet at the same time I think religious folks tend to levy the same criticism of strict scientists.

Anyway, I have no beef with either side, and I know I won't be able to convince anyone here that science can also be viewed as a religion with its own biases. Plus I believe that most of the time science is great. I just don't know about this quest for true AI. It feels religion-y to me.

> No sensible definition of free will says that you can will yourself to desire slood (a substance you've never heard of because it doesn't actually exist and has no properties even as a hypothetical) or will yourself out of the influence of gravity.

Right, no, I didn't mean it like that. The thing I wanted to share is that free will and determinism cannot co-exist, in my opinion, for the reason stated in my last comment.

Say I have a choice - pizza or pasta. If I choose pizza, then free will says I also could've chosen pasta. Determinism says if I chose pizza, then the "choice" was always going to be pizza. If you say both that I could've chosen pizza or pasta, and that I was fated to choose pizza, that makes no sense to me.

It sounds like quantum mechanics, which I'm unable to observe myself because I don't have the training or equipment to do something like a double slit test as demoed here [1]. Also I haven't studied quantum mechanics at all.

And, I'm not sure how trustable Dr. Quantum is as a source of information =). It's the first I've learned of quantum theory. I found another that says the same thing from the Royal Institution [2], which seems more reputable, but something tells me these findings haven't been replicated sufficiently to be fact. Or I could be 100% wrong.

Anyway, I'm interested in learning more, so if you have resources you think can point me in an interesting direction, I'm happy to check them out.

That's certainly where a lot of the old Google Reader users jumped ship to.
Yep. That was a great concept and one I wish I thought of myself. I've seen many copies, but they never take off because it's not original anymore and it's hard to get press coverage.

I hope HIGHSCORE.MONEY is different enough. We'll find out in the next 24 hours I guess.
Would be interesting to see data on conditions with and without Pauli present to remove biases. Pity we don't have him anymore.

If we have a guy like that again to suspect of such effect, then we could try the isolation of parameters to see if there was in fact just a bias or it could lead to deeper issues.

I reduced the op's statement to 'I don't care about content provided by professional writers' because each and every one of them/the institutions employing them is/has been trying to figure out a business model.

And the WSJ is as far as I know not one of those offering a full RSS feed for free, so that'd probably fall under "not honest" in their definition.
The parent didn't ask what antifragile means. The parent asked what non-linear, proactive, and self adaptive means, especially when taken as requirements for a software system.

Reading Taleb's book to answer that question is probably a lot like trying to extract evolved dogma out of a religious text because each of those words has taken on a life and meaning of their own in SE literature. You can probably eventually get close, but you're better off just reading a few SE papers on those topics and inferring the authors' intended meaning.
If you only have 'platforms' compiler, then you have very little choice. I'd guess it's becoming a smaller problem lately though; there's little reason to use custom architecture.
Newsblur.
Haha yes I've had similar ideas before. The problem with that though is that they can be easily faked (e.g. anyone could design/print a $1,000 t-shirt). – It's also less like to go viral than something online. That said, I like how it brings the idea to the physical world.
> It takes time to solve a captcha regardless of whether or not it's going to /dev/null or into some neural network.

Yes, and if Google's captcha didn't get much harder, I wouldn't mention it. At least they stopped showing impossible to read random words. They had one variant which I never once passed and had to reload until I got something with distinctive letters.

Anyone able to estimate the monetary value per person targeted to a state-level actor? Seems like there's no reason to believe a state-level attacker if approached would not buy intell from a criminal network of attackers or that a foreign state-level attacker won't leverage it advantage attack operations to again and barter intel to other states.

Case in point, attribution based on the skill of these attacks does not dox the attacker, but the end result of their attacks. Meaning these may not have been sponsored attacks, but someone farming intel to capitalize on.
> And ALL those errors can also be triggered with something a type system would no catch : runtime class generation, unexpexted user input, corrupted database, wrong data header, etc)

Runtime class generation and unexpected user input can actually be handled in types. Any language with Type:Type, generative modules, first-class modules, and other variations all handle various forms of runtime type generation. Something like lightweight static capabilities [1] can ensure runtime input conforms to expectations encoded in types.

Furthermore, you are way underselling types with that restricted list. NameError, SyntaxError, ImportError wouldn't occur in any typed languages at runtime. LookupError, AttributeError, AssertionError, ArithmeticError wouldn't occur in some of them.

Finally, your breakdown doesn't cover how frequent any of these errors occur. For example, even if typing were to solve only TypeError, if TypeError consists of 90% of runtime errors, that would be a huge win.

Most of my processing is on the back end, so my front-end code rarely benefits much from being highly optimized.

As for TypeScript, I'm not sure I understand what you mean. How is it locking me in any more than React or something?

If TypeScript dies as a project, I would still be able to transpile my latest code and then continue writing pure JS...

Also, whatever risk there is of that happening, the productivity boost of TypeScript far outweighs it for me.

I would be personally curious to see some sort of analysis or breakdown on the cost of missing out on the (lately) great returns of these gun companies, not from a self-interested perspective, but what use one could have put that money to.

Basically, it would be interesting to have someone put a dollar amount on the “damage” caused by investing a dollar into a gun manufacturer, and compare it to the benefit of putting a dollar into it’s equivalent opposite (mental health support for example, but you can imagine an infinite number of alternatives). If I lose out on returns by switching my investments to something that’s gun-free, returns that could have been spent on something that provides a counter benefit, what would the net loss/gain to society be?

Valid points for sure. I should have worded it less strongly.
Mostly reasonable, I think. But there's also something more: experiments are readily reproducible, and it's becoming a norm to include code for reproduction.

About assimilating the language, I'll add that old ML papers use a lingo which is almost incomprehensible to me, whereas with newer ones, they obviously place high value in being as clear and readable as possible, to get the most attention from practitioners as well as researchers.

Thanks for trying it out. I am getting similar feedback, that it turned out to be a legit fund search tool -- gun issues aside.

In fact I compiled a couple things that I found/was told after using this as a fund screener https://medium.com/@keywonc/3-things-that-surprised-me-when-...

- “International” funds may not be so international after all.

- In the age of free robo-advisors, mutual funds are still expensive.

- There are more than 30 fund categories, including very adventurous ones.
Well, on a purely economic basis, many of those homeowners, including investment funds, are paying < 0.1% in property tax and sitting on properties that are worth millions in value. As an example, the homeowner of one property with a market value of $7M was paying 0.04% in tax.[1]

Property taxes help pay for streets, police, ambulatory services, schools and maintaining parks. These essential services are paid for "at the expense of" renters and new homeowners. Of course, this deeply vested interest group also manifests itself in roadblocks for new developments that would mitigate the drastic increases in housing costs.

At an old job, me and another person wrote an in-house SQL-like dialect that compiled to access our C++ data structures. It was kind of nice just throwing whatever junk you wanted into your SQL without having to worry about any standards.

Want a filter clause? Got it.

Need a weighted distinct count? Now it's part of the language.

Also, you can rephrase a lot of these SQL features as subqueries. It's surprising how many database bugs you can find when you do it. Not so much in Postgres, but I probably found a dozen in Redshift. I mean rephrasing this:

select
sum(x) filter (where x < 5),
sum(x) filter (where x < 7)
from
generate_series(1,10,1) s(x)
;

as this(where t is either a permanent table, view, or CTE as appropriate):

with t as (
select * from generate_series(1,10,1) s(x)
)
select
(select sum(x) from t where x < 5),
(select sum(x) from t where x < 7)
;

Though for Postgres the filter will likely have better performance.
Yeah - that's what I thought when I heard the idea as well - someone just prints the same t-shirt with $1b - and the concept it gone.

But your idea keeps it exclusive...

Good luck! :)

My questions:

* Do you run the same diversity program in every country you have an office, so that, say, in Japan you try to hire Chinese and Brazilians?

* Do you actually give points to someone over other candidates for filling a minority slot, or do you just focus your recruiting towards the target groups?

* If you hire remote workers from anywhere in the world, do you even bother with diversity for them, since the definition of diversity would have to depend on their country?

* Do you look for diversity in communication styles, personalities, philosophies, etc. (read Quiet), or do you only look for diversity in the trends you mentioned (sex, "race", etc.)?

* What about fighting ageism?

* Will you please write a post giving basic information on the advantages/goals you hope to achieve through American-style diversity? As it is I think everyone will just argue about what your agenda is.
Section 5.2 compares it to search techniques. It's a bit more than twice as good as the next best method.
There's actually a section of this where he basically says that a test that always passes is not useful (provides no information) and a test that fails sometimes is useful (provides lots of information.) I'm not sure exactly what failure of reasoning lead to this conclusion but it's totally bogus. They are both useful.

The ideal case is that your codebase is entirely made up of code that never fails and tests that always pass. Obviously sometimes you are going to have tests that fail and introduce bugs that cause tests that used to pass to fail. But that's the reason that you write those tests, to find those problems.

The author gives the silly example of a method that always sets x to 5, and a test that calls it and makes sure x is now 5. That seems like a bad test but anyone who's actually done work as a developer understands why it isn't. If you skip the tests that are simple and straight forward and seem like a waste of time and only write more complicated tests then you will have a hard time reasoning what failed when the complicated test fails. Was your x = 5 method faulty? You don't think so but you don't have proof since it wasn't tested. Having the test, as silly as it seems, lets you know that method is working.

Anyone who has been on a team that skips easy/simple tests knows what a mistake it is. And if you don't, you will eventually.
I once went drinking with a couple very smart women in Mountain View. Both went to a very well known school, got good grades, and had degrees in math heavy STEM fields.

One worked for Google, and lived in a shared house in Sunnyvale because it was the only way to save towards something

The other was a teacher at a fancy school up in SF that will remain un-named. She literally lived in a kitchen pantry in the tenderloin. (Deep pantry - deep enough to fit a bed).
Probably because they are afraid your building will make theirs less valuable and so you would be, in effect, hurting them.
1. Tax only applies when it leaves the freeport / is imported somewhere. Import duties can sometimes also be avoided by holding assets through offshore vehicles. Also, certain countries exempt museums from paying import duties. Many wealthy people actually have part of their home classified as a museum.

2. These items are often held as an investment, i.e. buy for $20mm and sell five years later for $25mm.

3. If you only care about the capital gain on the art (and not about what is actually on the canvas), you don't want to pay the VAT rate, because that's (often) not recoverable.

4. You can probably get a $10-15mm loan against a $20mm painting. If you can sell that $20mm painting for $25mm in five years, with $5m equity down, you will have doubled your money. That's an 18-20% annual return (after deducting interest expenses).

Yes, guilt is the means by which so much bad stuff gets installed in our minds. Ideas that get passed easily from mind to mind regardless of truth content are called memes. I propose the term remes for ideas that get recalled easily in an individual's mind. These get rehearsed more frequently than other ideas regardless of their truth content and so they persist; they achieve this by generating guilt.

The problem with this as gamification is that there is zero ability to play for less than the current high-score. That is a real problem: suppose 500 people were wiling to pay close to, but not over, $10, but hardly anyone was willing to pay over $10. If 15 people have paid $10 it now prices anyone wanting to pay up to $10 completely out of visibility. Since we said there were 500 such people, you lose $5,000 while making 15 * 10 = $150. That's a real design problem. Pay-to-play should give everyone something.
