Saying "even investors like A16Z" haven't seen it glosses over that A16Z, founded in 2009, is a babe in the woods as a venture firm, and has not been through even a single cycle yet.

(Not ragging on them, but lots of these things go in cycles of 8-12 years or more and if your firm is 7 years old you may well have never seen the tough times. And as Buffett likes to say, it's only when the tide goes out that you see who's been swimming without trunks)
the repo already points that out.

The argument I was making is not about more or less targets, it is that securing one point against terrorists by creating a new point that's very weak against terrorists is somewhere between useless and stupid.

That there are other targets is obviously correct, but I do not feel it really addresses the point.

It's like saying that if a house is connected to the road that house shouldn't expect to have privacy. Just because there's easy access to the house does not mean that the house can be accessed by anyone on the road.

This is not just bad judging this is bordering onto absurdity.
We already have Object.keys()[1], and Object.values()[2] and Object.entries()[3] are in the stage 4 proposal[4] and should be safe to polyfill.

How to deliver 410Gbps in under 48 hours
> work with a company that can shut down your entire business on a whim, with no recourse

Except, the "whim" here was Spotify deciding to deliberately break the rules they've been following thus-far, in order to create a media circus, at a time when Apple has announced a huge reduction in the effective costs they'd have (15% instead of 30% cut of subscription fees)

But yeah, Apple just said "fuck you Spotify" on a whim.
Also, does this not mean that cases like Andrew Auernheimer, where he simply used an API to access data that was not protected at all will be found not guilty in the future?
No, it can't.

He signed a bunch of documents where he promised to not disclose anything. He was perfectly aware that he was violating those agreements as well as probably both civil and military law.

Regardless of how important an impact the release had he's still a traitor to the US. No number of "privacy is an illusion" rulings will change that.

I presume that capital punishment is an option for traitors which makes getting of the hacking charge a minor thing anyways.
I like to anchor myself on being an honest person.

> Unfortunately, the code in your browser that powers Facebook still knows what you typed—even if you decide not to publish it.* It turns out that the things you explicitly choose not to share aren't entirely private.

You and I are reading that a different way. I see it as they're going to be able to collect this data for the first time since they've found a way to do so without compromising privacy.

Their privacy page seems to agree with my interpretation:

https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/en-ww/

Though since iOS is closed source - we can't know for certain.
> ask yourself whether you would applaud or criticize the same person for wearing that outfit to Wholefoods.

My criticism would persist because presumably the same person wears that outfit to Wholefoods for the same reason:
garnering attention.

Wearing baggy cotton trousers and a grubby, loose t-shirt looks scruffy in the workplace or Wholefoods but has a purpose: comfort.

Wearing Daisy Duke shorts to the workplace or Wholefoods has a purpose: garnering attention.

Anything that is designed or intended to attract attention is by definition a distraction. That's where the differentiation arises. It's irrelevant whether that attention is inappropriate due to objectification, the point is that the mental effort to overcome the context-shift is distractive.
Feedback -

Really hard to actually follow the "book". Each page is far too small, and very hard to find the right link to "next". This would be 1000x more useful as maybe 4-5 pages if not 1.

Now I assume it is like this because you want a bunch of clicks.. but I could not image hunting around trying to find all the content. It is a pretty bad desktop experience. Something 1/4 of the screen is content.. the rest is header, footer, another footer, and maybe a plug to buy your book.
Having realized some discrepancies in my skillset, I would actually prefer honest but temporarily-demotivating feedback. If not, I'll start questioning more stuff than actually has been a deal breaker. Yes, it will be painful for a while to hear "you cannot sing", but I'd prefer it. The more specific the better. After all, we're adults and I have to deal with my personal bugs daily anyway. Of course, this assumes the feedback is qualified, but that's up to my impression of how much I value their feedback. If I have the impression they're totally unqualified, I might not spend a second thought on their judgement.
Restoring Y Combinator's Xerox Alto, day 2: Repairing the display
It's a nasty business, but in that scenario, the system worked by protecting society at large from an airplane as a missile scenario.

Security has different dimensions. The point of TSA security is to avoid situations where a hostile party can breach the cockpit or disable the plane in the air. All of the security theatre, random searches, etc are all there to make airliners a less attractive target and try to keep terrorism scoped.

Protecting your life as a passenger is a secondary priority, which is accomplished by the random placement of air marshals. Someone planning to fashion ad-hoc spears out of plastic utensils or whatever must account for the presence of a guy with a gun as well as passengers fighting back.
The counter-point presumably being that law enforcement are not soldiers? Maybe the 3rd amendment has been interpreted as applicable to all government agents.
It's possible but his wording makes me think never looked is more accurate. A reasonable person deciding an issue like this might observe something like "all great hackers I've seen are men" but will do some research before saying "only men are great hackers." That he takes time to push the claim without one Google to test it suggests some form of bad character or judgment at play. ;)
I am a pro-capitalist "market solves everything" person and Ayn Rand admirer. Now I enjoy speaking with (and, most importantly, listening to) Bernie Sanders supporters to understand them better.

I am also open for inquiries from the other side. :)
JavaScript Air –  the live broadcast podcast all about JavaScript
Neither. It neither changes safety nor moves targets. It is worse -- a distraction that leads away from solving the underlying problem in the same way as the Gun Control/Knife Control issue obscures and redirects passions.

Machines and locations of queues are not to blame. The real problem is (multi)cultural -- hate in people's hearts and evil plus incompatibility of cultures & religions. That is the root of the problem and moving a queue to a new location on the sidewalk won't solve it.

We are distracted and quibbling about irrelevant details. I refuse to accept the premise. Cutting to the root of the issue as best I can, civilizations must determine whether to abandon multiculturalism and insist on a homogeneous culture or continue down the current path.
Mormon girls tend to want to date only Mormon men, or at least other Christians
Bummer Questions:
- How much does it cost?
- Does it require special expertise to install? I'd hope/assume the sphere can be filled with water on-site
- How often will it need to be inspected/repaired? Will that require a specialist?
- How often will it need to be cleaned?

This wouldn't seem to make much sense for individual installations (unless you're wealthy and want something to show off on your roof), but I wonder if the economics would work out in medium-sized arrays, to fill the gap between small residential/commercial installations and huge solar collector operations. Still though, is a 35% efficiency increase enough to justify this particular design? Is it that much better than other concentration methods?
Another difference is that you can sell your product in Wal-Mart or Target or K-Mart or Sears or independent shops or even set up shop yourself.

With Apple, you spend a bunch of effort building an app, and then your (legitimate) options are to distribute it through the App Store, or give up.

It's easy to understand why companies are willing to enter into the App Store even though Apple can potentially sink them at any time. The reward is, to them, worth the risk. How much money has Spotify made over the years from iOS users that they wouldn't have made if they had decided not to even risk Apple's displeasure? And of course this current problem will be resolved quickly enough without wrecking Spotify's business.
You give them windows to socialise during office hours like potlucks and other organised events. I've never worked somewhere where I am not the youngest person upon joining so I'm on the other side of this, but that seems to work.

If people don't want to associate with coworkers and just clock in and clock out I think they probably don't belong in their job.

There are plenty of commercial products, just look up ICCV ECCV (there is even a dedicated track for autonomous driving http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~CVRSUAD/). But nobody is crazy enough to accept all liability of selling packaged 'autonomous driving system', even MobilEye doesnt do that. Tesla made a big mistake branding their young flawed tech as something it is not.

Does it? What's the growth of flights compared to population?

Edit: for at least last year, I'm seeing ~5% air travel growth compared to <1% population growth. So I don't know if your premise has taken effect yet...
Amazon does something similar regarding stepping around the 30% Apple fee with Comixology and their ebook offerings- you can access them on the app, but you have to buy them on a web browser. I can't recall if they explicitly say "go outside the app store to buy" or not though.
Trussle | Software Engineeer | Full Time | London

Hi, I'm Jonny and I work at Trussle, a free online mortgage adviser. We're using technology and data to make getting a mortgage easy. We're only small, but we've recently signed a partnership with Zoopla and we've got a lot more in the pipeline. Check us out at https://trussle.com.

We're a company of 11 people and we want to expand our team of 3 software engineers by the end of the month. We're full-stack Javascript at the moment, but we would like to meet talented developers from all language backgrounds who would like to work in an ambitious start-up.

I wrote some better words about this job and how to apply on our Product Development website: http://trussle.github.io/jobs/developer
This article nearly pegs my bogometer. It reads more like numerology than science. Yes, it is true that quantum bounds "arise naturally" from quantum theory, but what matters is not that they arise but how they arise, and on this the article is completely mute. The mere fact that you can coax the same numbers out of a classical experiment is completely meaningless. What matters is how you coax those numbers out, and in particular, whether the manner in which you coaxed those numbers out involved a quantum effect or simply manipulating unconstrained degrees of freedom to get the result you want. There may be something interesting going on here, but there is no way to tell from reading this article. If you really could get a quantum bound out of a classical system in a non-bogus way, that would be big news, the biggest breakthrough in physics in decades. I'll give you long odds against.

I upvoted you because I believe you made a cogent argument, but I respectfully disagree.

I would argue that it's only relatively recently that people have started to associate an internet connected machine with the potential for a lack of privacy.

People have begun to realize that making a secure device is difficult, but that doesn't mean they don't expect some degree of privacy.

Most certainly don't expect that connecting their laptop to Wifi that they control and pay for automatically reduces the privacy of things contained on their laptop, and only on their laptop to zero.

Further, the expectation is that security and privacy is a feature that all (well, most) companies are actively working to improve, and therefore a fluid definition of an expectation of privacy is dangerous, I think.
In my opinion this is awful for those of us who have to help people do things from time to time. Yet another UI that is impossible to walk somebody through over the phone.
No, the claim is: for programmers, it's better to work for a company who supports open source than one that doesn't.

As the article mentioned, work is important for life. It gives your mind varied experiences, which keeps it sharp. Open source means the value of your work doesn't evaporate once you leave the company.

Of course, you could try to fill 8 hours a day with something besides programming once your retire. But it's still strictly better to have the OPTION to continue programming, and even better to do it with some of the same code (assuming nontrivial codebases).

If you spend 30 years doing something 40 hours a week, you're going to be a lot better at it than something you only did on weekends. And at least for me, the reward is tied to the accomplishment.

For example, I've been learning how make videos with a DSLR recently. But this is at most a weekend thing. It's not that rewarding in the initial stages since I'm not good at it, and nobody cares about the end result because it's not good enough. With programming that's not the case.

If I were retired, I wouldn't be able to build meaningful work out of shooting video (or at least it would take another 5-10 years to do so). But I would be able to with programming, outside of a job. I could teach programming too, whereas I can't teach video.

But of course it's good to cultivate other hobbies... you could get crippling RSI and not be able to program. But my point is that work is privileged over hobbies. It's a different thing. Dawdling around with no goal is what makes people lose their mental toughness.

Actually number of deaths are all terrorists care about.

The society freaks out N^2(3) number of deaths involved.

Oklahoma were 168 people. 9/11 were 3000. The response to 9/11 was way greater than Oklahoma*20. It was event that defined US politics for 2 decades lead to 2-4 wars (depending on definition).

And the news cycle have already forgotten San Bernadino, Charlie Hebdo and Paris is on the brink of falling out.
Because the occasions where I didn't get any closing responses have been with places that seemed to be unprofessional in the hiring process, I actually had an easier time dismissing those, especially after learning more about some of the from ex-employees.
I agree. The follow-up question is whether to applaud or deride them for it.

Uber and Airbnb, for example, do the same in their markets, and get applause for doing it, at least from some people.

Apple/iOS is a weird case, on the one hand Apple's market share is small, which would mean that one could say Spotify is playing mean (for example, would it allow Apple to advertise on their platform?)

On the other hand, Apple is in the same market as Spotify, and has more of the wealthy customers.

For now, I side with Apple in this case, but that may be because I do not know enough details of what this is about.
