Humans can't be completely safe either. The important question isn't whether the technology can be "completely safe", but whether it's safer than humans.

Even in the example given in the article of Three Mile Island: "and somehow, during that test, the workers had failed to reset it properly.". The technology absolutely should have detected and reported this human-caused issue; however, that doesn't make it a technological error, but rather a human error not mitigated by technology. (Of course, when talking about a nuclear reactor, you want to mitigate as many human errors as possible, just as you have technological components independently cross-check other technological components, to push the likelihood of a failure even closer to 0 than any one component could manage alone.)

It's not possible to make anything "completely safe"; see also "0 and 1 are not probabilities" (http://lesswrong.com/lw/mp/0_and_1_are_not_probabilities/).

Self-driving cars will be safer than human drivers even when interacting with unpredictable human drivers, and will be even more safe when they only have to deal with other self-driving cars. Hopefully cases like this don't slow the adoption of technologies that will, long-term, save lives (in addition to all the other improvements they may provide).
I agree. And these same folks also like their jobs at FB despite the politics ... they see it as one of the cons but are still happy with all of the pros.

I only commented because it's frustrating to see any company painted as if it's the one magical place in the universe that has solved office politics. Facebook is not that company.
Are you aware that Neil Gaiman, in Neverwhere, used the line:

"The sky was the perfect untroubled blue of a television screen, tuned to a dead channel."

In response to Gibson, of course. But it is also interesting that the author themselves needn't be the one to revise the work.

We already do this in a lighter sense when various editors produce various editions of a book by a writer. It would be interesting if we, essentially, exploded IP claims on characters and let people publish their fan fiction.
It ought to be criminal, the way it's approaching a found security flaw. The sort of review shenanigans they're pulling should be criminal as well.

Company is revealed to be completely incompetent with regards to security. So their reaction is to harangue and pressure the reviewer instead of fixing the problem.
I know it's not the point, but having this publicly available in such a usable form - even with this bare minimum UI - is a huge milestone. A big barrier to adoption I hear from many potential users is, "Are there any big users of Rust yet? No? Why would we?" This answers that.

Half jokingly, all you need now is an emscripten target, so it can be run inside a browser, and anyone can try it out without needing to install an app :)
I mean, that's very 2000. It's 2016 and China's advantages are more moat-based than anything else.

Why do we build electronics in China? The labor isn't that much cheaper in 2016 and represents one of the smallest costs in an electronic device. An iPhone breakdown usually lists $200 in parts and labor, with $2 going to Chinese labor.

On the flip side, they have a generational moat for electronic manufacturing. You build electronics there because everyone builds electronics there. All the factories and subcontractors are all near by. The system is efficient and cost effective.

If you wanted to assemble in America you'd probably still be importing tons of Chinese parts.

Don't do anything rash.

Cofounder could be having a mental breakdown and/or just have decided to get really drunk or stoned.

It could be something medical and/or embarrassing.

Some people have inner flakes that exert themselves at random times. I'd give it another week; during that week figure out:

a) How you can ensure this doesn't happen again if the guy comes back into the picture
and
b) What taking the hint actually entails. It should probably involve folding up shop, mailing papers, and starting something new without the cofounder.

I think you would have to have a company hold the IP instead of the author in the first place.

I'm thinking of shared world books like Forgotten Realms where various authors write in the same world. Now if they didn't retain the rights to the work itself, you could have other people rewrite it too.

I also started playing poker a lot in college for "fun money", and was looking to step up my game.

I went a different route, though. I did the math and realized that even at a very good hourly take, I would never make very much money, and that by going up to higher stakes tables if anything I would do worse. I didn't have much hope for tournaments either.

A few years before this I had worked at a day trading firm. I don't recommend technical trading (I never could find an edge there), but then it finally "clicked" and I realized the obvious connection between the stock market and poker: you are trying to find mismatched bets where the odds are tilted in your favor.

Once I made this connection I promptly switched to the stock market and never looked back (this was over 12 years ago). It took me a while to figure out a "system" (what kind of bets to look for, how do you figure "odds" with stocks, etc.) but it has been quite profitable, even counting the Great Recession, and now I do it full-time.

So anyways, if you think you really "get" poker and are willing to put in the time it takes to get good, you may be better off switching to a game that pays much better, assuming you have an interest in business.

I don't see how this would be considered Sinophobia given the history of high-profile security breaches caused by hackers operating out of China.

If the article reported that the data were being sent unencrypted to a Russian server, would that be considered Russophobia?
I'm sure trying that on Matthew Garrett will work out just fine for them.
UGG Australia are jerks and has nothing to do with Australia. It was bought by Americans, moved manufacturing in China, but continues to misleadingly and deceptively use the word "Australia" in it's brand. Then further still, it started suing anyone IN Australia who uses the word Ugg, which was, and remains, a completely generic term in the Aussies vernacular. Besides that, their boots are now poor quality and fall apart. If I had been considering working for you, I would have had to blacklist you for working with such a jerk of a customer. Get rid of those scum.

That is only a small part of it. Most developing countries either sacrifice living wages, environment protections and worker safety deliberately, or have no strong governments to enforce those things, yet few are as successful as China.

Sempre Health | San Francisco (SOMA) | Lead Backend Engineers | Full Time | https://semprehealth.com/

Sempre Health is changing how Americans pay for healthcare. My co-founder & I are both Berkeley grads and just closed a $2.5M seed round. We are looking for senior backend engineers as our first technical hires. The digital health space is blowing up, and this is an opportunity to use technology for good as well as get in on the ground floor.

1 in 3 patients skips care because it's too expensive. These patients go on to be less healthy & more costly to the health system overall. Sempre Health is bringing behavior-based pricing to healthcare. Patients receive texts like, "If you fill your Lipitor rx today, you'll pay $5. If you wait till next week, you'll pay your normal $15"

We parse millions of prescription records to identify unique patient behaviors. We use this data to predict & seamlessly deliver the right price for the right patient to every pharmacy in the country.

obviously there are some interesting details to get this right but sounds like a really cool idea and look forward to seeing this pull request come into the apache nifi community.
If it means more revenue in the short term, and they switch strategies at the point when it no long means more revenue, which they may well do, they are still being forward-thinking. What you are saying is you don't like blackouts and you'd like there to be some reason that MLB is stupid for having them.

The last time i was at a place where trust went above everything, literally all the code was the worst horrible shit, because they sold tyres and that being a solid business had run into zero trouble, ever, and thought that the developer who'd been with them for over a decade was the best, since "he has never made a wrong decision" (i.e. the company hadn't gone bankrupt yet), despite his code managing to create, just on its own, an amazing turn-over rate in developers.

Amnon Shashua CVPR 2016 keynote, comment on Tesla autopilot, before the crash
While this system does work well for very meritocratic groups, it is a mostly anecdotal/self-constructed replacement for defined/quantified hierarchy. The "influence over authority" framework is the adhoc social group hierarchy that is replacing a defined hierarchy, and is very susceptible to silos, clicks, and favoritism; regardless of the accuracy of the merit calculations by the members, of the members.

I am not knocking the system, as I agree that a meritocratic structure can work in small social systems, but there are some risk. The primary ones would be new member exclusion which can be hidden behind the meritocratic mantle of "it's the best choice", and fiefdom building that can result from the finite number of members that can function in a social group or that can reliably be recalled/indexed by members with in a group.

It may be possible to have numerous self contained and self structured groups operating within a larger organization, assuming the time tables allow for them to establish, and that new member barriers are not so obvious that they decrease retention. Facebook may be knowingly or unknowingly leveraging their Employer Brand to mitigate the risk of attrition within hierarchy-lite system.
You raise an interesting point, and you're right that quantum treatment is not necessary in the regime where many light particles pass through the circuit, in which case we can talk about light as a continuous thing, that can be infinitely subdivided. A quantum treatment of polarization is only required in the single-photon regime.

Specifically consider an experiment where a light beam passes through three polarizing filters: first a horizontally-polarizing lens H, then a diagonally polarizing lens D, and finally a vertically polarizing lens V.

photons ------> H ----> D --> V ->

The result of this "triple filtering" for a beam of light (consisting of gazillions of photons, modelled as a continuous wave) can be explained as the wave amplitude being "projected" along the polarization axis of each lens. At each polarization step the projection angle is 45 degrees, so the wave intensity is reduced by cos(45)=1/sqrt(2) which is equivalent to a reduction in optical power of 1/2. The power of the beam that passes through all three lenses is 1/4 of the power leaving the first lens. No need for quantum, since we model the beam of light as a continuous quantity that can be infinitely subdivided.

If we repeat the same experiment sending one photon at a time however, we can't say "the photon divides" since by definition a photon is the smallest possible quantum of light. There is not such thing as 1/sqrt(2) of a photon. Basically, when a H-polarized photon reaches a D-polarizing lens, a classical physicists is forced to pick whether the photon goes through, or is reflected—the option "partially goes through" is not allowed. It's only in this regime that the "photon is a wave" explanation fails.

The quantum explanation uses a probabilistic approach and explains the probability of a H-polarized photon going through the D-polarizing lens is 1/2 and subsequently the (now D-polarized photon) going through the third V-polarizing lens is also 1/2 so the overall probability of passing through all three lenses is 1/4.
Ubiquiti AirFiber Sets New World Record for Long Range Wireless Broadband
The threat of being reported to Amazon isn't very threatening, and I was going to chide Techcrunch for being alarmist, but as I began to compose my post, I realized I couldn't come up with a good alternative word in this case, and skimming some online thesauri hasn't helped. Any suggestions? The thing is, if the company had followed through on its threat, the resulting headline would be much less attention-grabbing.

I am assuming the employee-gets-fired threat is not plausible.
I strongly beg to differ. That's just every startup in general. The dotcom days were way more debaucherous and perverse than what's going on today with startups.
It's a 32bit and from an old version. Perhaps they don't want to
annoy their paying customers? In this way they get more
information from you. I guess it's good for their marketing
research. Hopefully they would conclude that it would be better
to make the software more freely available.

I'm not sure how big the market is for them or related array
language. Seeing J became essentially open source, and kdb+
released their 2nd grade 32bit for non-commercial use too, I
guess the industry is shifting toward more consulting/training
services.
That's quite a conclusion you've reached with such little information. One of the points stated is that it might have been translated to French and then English, but not information on what exact dictionary might have been used. A lot of dictionaries will, though, give you a lot of possible translations for the same word, that combined with the necessity of grammatically putting them together could create such a messy non-sensical work... or it could be fake, who knows.

I can't recall many low-limit blackjack tables that ban mid-shoe entry. That seems to only come in at the $50/100 min-bet level.

Honestly, many blackjack players that I see at the $5/10 tables are playing so badly that the casino wouldn't want them to have to wait for the shuffle to start getting their gamble on.

Not a bad idea at all. Perhaps the questions could derive from the citizenship test?

Of course, there would be risks of partial administration and regulatory capture, as mentioned in other responses to you; but I think it's a good idea, and it might be possible to make it work.

High speed intenet
If the claims made by Spotify that Apple was threatening to kick Spotify out of the AppStore for not taking down its $0.99 offsite signup promo then this is certainly more anti-competitive than MSIE vs Netscape. At least back in the day, if you didn't get Netscape installed but still wanted it, all you had to do was download the EXE file and install it. Now if Spotify were to be banned from the AppStore, how else would you receive its service?
