Yeah, SSVEP has it's uses[1], but I don't think it would work well enough to identify various users with any sort of confidence. It would likely be easier to do with showing an image (or series of such) that would present people with a very different emotional responses. This could be loved ones, childhood homes, etc.

If you are curious in this stuff, I am pretty familiar with this stuff, and my startup[2] uses consumer EEG's regularly. Our single largest concern is actually signal correction due to movement / other environment factors[3].

I still think it implies a degree of symmetry that will confuse students, though, and that the notation can be further improved from what was proposed there. The operation in question is not trilaterally symmetric, and using a trilaterally symmetric symbol is probably misleading. The root symbol is arbitrary, but at least it doesn't promise nonexistent symmetries.

5 years ago we went on a Mongol Rally. Driving European vehicle through the Stans makes you easy prey for local policeman. My co-driver had a strategy of befriending them and sharing small gifts (pens, lighters etc.). Most expensive were Tajik GBAO guards, they got headlamps. During my shifts I had 2 encounters but played dumb, even though I'm native in similar language and could communicate. No bribes given. :)

Had a great time in Semey, KZ and later across the border in Barnaul. Must go back some day, driving, of course:). If you love big skies of US west, you'll be in heaven in Kazakhstan.

Sorry... I should have been clearer. You're correct, and it is indeed why Occam's razor correctly applied would rule out the alien theory. What I meant specifically, was that its syntax is more complex, but its ontology is simpler as you describe. In other words it's the explaining part that's more complex, so it seems more complex on the surface. So if you asked the average person on the street which theory was easier to understand, I'm guessing most would say the alien theory. So when you use a description like "simpler" as the author did, you can be confused as to what is "simpler".

There's been a lot written on this subject that's hard to do justice here: http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/simplicity/

I think you are mis-attributing our current trajectory. Most of the scientific developments that are now powering the US knowledge economy came out of government (ARPA, etc.) funded labs.

Allocating R&D funds based strictly on "whether or not traders and stock owners can profit in the short to medium term" is relatively new in the US (although you could argue it was the norm before we became a superpower). Our most exciting projects still come from outside that model -- crazy billionaires that want to go to Mars, meager NSF/NASA budgets, and things that mutually benefit Defense/DARPA and the economy.
Not at all. That is just rumours.

They were very clear at the AMA:

"Anwar: Nope, not happening."

"Anwar: We don’t have any plans to officially support a new language in Android, so we’d encourage folks to continue to use Java:) That said, you should continue to use what works for you."

https://www.reddit.com/r/androiddev/comments/4tm8i6/were_on_...

People have to get over the fact that regardless of what happens in the Oracle vs Sun, the Android team which has a quite a few Sun alumnis, doesn't want to use anything else.

Even the NDK is designed in a way that native C and C++ code is always exposed via Java native. The example code on the NDK start page is pretty clear how they see the NDK.

https://developer.android.com/ndk/index.html

"The Android NDK is a toolset that lets you implement parts of your app using native-code languages such as C and C++. For certain types of apps, this can help you reuse code libraries written in those languages."

And another fun fact is that given the NDK constraints, having Linux as kernel doesn't matter that much, they could change to something else and only OEMs would notice.

I've described it before about how deeply American culture has a "work problem" and that it is as much a religion as anything. We don't call it a "Protestant Work Ethic" without reason, and lot of what you hear people say about jobs and work these days wouldn't sound much different from what the Puritans (who get credit as some of the earliest American colonists) preached as core to their way of life.

To some extent as the culture has gotten less dogmatic in some areas, the dogma of work has only entrenched further. (To many people the big corporate passive aggressive notes from belly of HR about the "good of the company" are the closest to people's weekly and/or daily sermons that they'll see.)

There are a lot of people, pundits especially, that see work as a moral obligation and the lack of work as a sin. I think it will take as much as anything else a new wave of religious thinking to move American culture past some hangups into a future with fewer "jobs" available. Or a redefinition of a lot more hobbies and crafts as "jobs" and "work". (I'm not sure which would be easier. There are stigmas in both directions.)
What the analysts say about big data's future
Somewhat. But there's friction from moving jobs around.

An oversimplified way to view it...

Let's say I can get $100/hour of value out of an employee. As long as I can get $100/hour of value from them, I'll hire them. Now let's say that there is $10 of regulatory burden. (Hard to fire, etc) Then I'd need $110/value to hire someone. Now let's say it costs me $5/hour in communications overhead for people out of town.

Then we have 3 scenarios:
1) $110+ in value - I can hire in either place. I prefer the HQ if the resource in CA is $5/hour cheaper. (Or measurably better)

2) $100-$105 in value - I hire in the other place.

3) Up to $105 in value - No hiring.

Lowering the regulatory burden to less than $5/hour adds to the amount of jobs people have.

Note - it's never really this simple, but it illustrates the idea that someone has to bear additional costs. When the employer and employee split it, relationships that used to net out with higher employment can end with higher unemployment.
I can't see what those things have to do with one another.

Thiel can take perfectly rational, fact-driven decisions based on Trump's behavior, regardless of what it is. Indeed, it's completely possible that to achieve his goals, he must leverage Trump's misuse of "facts" and, erm, "creativity" with respect to truth.
Perfect! There are not enough jobs to go around, and so we have more people not working. Sounds like mission accomplished.

...we might need to work on wealth distribution, though.
Or 3) Since automation is making capital more productive at the expense of labor--tax a portion of the productivity increase and distribute it to labor.
Yes, let's use the coercive power of the state to direct the bulk of people's daily lives. What could possibly go wrong?

You are being pedantic. Most Muslim's are non-white. It is implicitly racist to suggest we ban all Muslim's from the US.

My last sentence suggests we have a major problem with race relations in the US. You can twist my words however you want but it doesn't change that fact. The entire concept of a "race card" was manufactured to belittle legitimate claims of racism. Creating a term to discredit legitimate questions of racism is offensively wrong.

> "tcpdump is the premier network analysis tool for information security professionals. Having a solid grasp of this über-powerful application is mandatory for anyone desiring a thorough understanding of TCP/IP. Many prefer to use higher level analysis tools such as Ethereal Wireshark, but I believe this to usually be a mistake."

"When using a tool that displays network traffic a more natural (raw) way the burden of analysis is placed directly on the human rather than the application. This approach cultivates continued and elevated understanding of the TCP/IP suite, and for this reason I strongly advocate using tcpdump instead of other tools whenever possible."

What a load of nonsense. There is nothing inherently better about using tcpdump over Wireshark other than its ubiquity.

The idea that using Wireshark somehow robs you of insight into what your network activity is has no basis in reality. You're just as capable of viewing the raw network data in Wireshark as you are by using tcpdump. Wireshark may make it easier to analyse data, but you still have to know what you're working with to make good decisions when filtering and analysing network data. Furthermore, if you feel like you have to use the command line tcpdump and Tshark (Wireshark on the command line) are very similar. Lastly, if you've got a network capture made using tcpdump, you can open it with Wireshark/Tshark. There's literally nothing that makes tcpdump the superior tool, they're complimentary.
The US does not handle it's population of people with mental illness very well. A large percentage of the US homeless population have mental illness and cities with good weather have a much higher number of homeless people.
The OP was talking about labor allocation and you're talking about R&D allocation.
Lol... maybe you're not.

The author invited comment directly by using a scientific/philosophical principle in his story. If you mention Occam's razor as a reason your argument is correct, and you completely get that wrong, you stand to be corrected.

So if you want to sound smart by using scientific terminology you don't understand, the scientists are going to call you on it, and that's not being pedantic.

Except the actual cost of college is not free, and for a lot of material covered in colleges it is an extremely inefficient way to convey that information, in both time and monetary cost.

A large part of the problem is that, in a glut of labor, employers use degrees as litmus tests of commitment rather than ability. If you can just ignore anyone who doesn't have a bachelors, you will, because why not? But that doesn't mean the bachelors is, at the macroeconomic level, worth it to society to push everyone to get.
I'm not sure if they're right in the sense of authoritarian (though certainly the more authoritarian ones make it easier to jump to libertarian). I would think they're right in the sense of being more in favor of unfettered corporate power. Anarcho-capitalism.
Ask HN: Why is it hard to get a job in California?
If you're from a different state, how hard is it to find Software Engineering work in another state? I'm finishing undergrad from a State School in December.
But not the money to pay for these jobs....But in most countries they receive social welfare while out of work.

See the contradiction here?

We could put these people to work engaging in labor that is valuable, but not as valuable as the cost of their welfare. I.e. pay them $7.25/hour to do $5/hour worth of labor (net cost to society = $2.25/hour).

Yet we don't. Instead we pay them to play video games (net cost to society $7.25/hour).

Secure Stream Processing with Kafka Streams
Show HN: gocryptfs, an aspiring successor to EncFS, now in v1.0
Author of gocryptfs and co-maintainer of EncFS here.

gocryptfs is a FUSE overlay filesystem for Linux like EncFS. But it is written from scratch in Go, uses modern crypto and fixes the security issues of EncFS while providing equivalent speed.

Some of the key differences to EncFS are:

* Just one security level roughly equivalent to EncFS "paranoia" mode, at the speed of "default" mode.

* A design so simple it fits on one page ( this one: https://nuetzlich.net/gocryptfs/security/ )

* Explicit filesystem creation using "gocryptfs -init". No configuration prompts.

* Long file names up to 256 bytes (with zero performance impact <= 176 bytes)

* Stress-tested using fuse-xfstests

* No reverse mode (yet?). Sorry.

I'm quite happy with how the project turned out and have released v1.0 a few days ago.
If you are using EncFS, you should probably switch.

* Website: https://nuetzlich.net/gocryptfs/

* Github: https://github.com/rfjakob/gocryptfs

* Binaries: https://github.com/rfjakob/gocryptfs/releases/tag/v1.0

* Comparison to other projects: https://nuetzlich.net/gocryptfs/comparison/

PS: If you are on OSX, check out this ticket: https://github.com/rfjakob/gocryptfs/issues/15 (TLDR: seems to mostly work)

PPS: If you are on Windows: cppcryptfs is a C++ re-implementation for Windows: https://github.com/bailey27/cppcryptfs . The author is very active and would sure love to see testers.

PPPS: If you are wondering, the other "aspiring successors" are CryFS and securefs. Both are in the comparison table and both are worth looking at. The big difference is that they implement their own directory databases stored in files while gocryptfs relies on the underlying FS as much as possible.
I just moved myself, wife, and toddler out of Cole Valley to Seattle. We had to leave because - you guessed it - cost of living. My position is head of engineering for a small SaaS company. I make a _very_ healthy living by any standard yet couldn't afford to stay in SF with a family. It's bitter sweet; the bay area is absolutely amazing. But Seattle is a very close second and we're happy we can afford a comfortable life here.

Now my point -
We became members of the the Cole Valley neighborhood association and the only involvement my wife and I had was reading the monthly newsletter. The newsletter's tone and NIMBYism was astounding! Laughably-so that it was a constant source of jokes and conversation. My wife and me kept returning to how, for she and I, that perspective was shortsighted; we believe that attitude actively works against protecting the very thing that makes the city great - diversity in arts, culture, and food & beverage. If NIMBYism truly prevailed this would all go away to a homogenous super-elite. ... but maybe that's the goal. :(
In the mid-west we have programmers 2 years out of school making $100k in places where the CPI is 90. What if we just have a massive misallocation of resources and people should be learning how to program, nurse, become doctors, plumbers, HVAC, or all the other jobs that pay incredibly well?
Infix notation IS funny, though I figured anyone learning arithmetic would be familiar and we're stuck with it - we probably can't convince grade schools to use Polish notation for arithmetic by default.
In general, my attitude is that you should pick a notation that makes all the similarities with things you already know as obvious as possible and then stress the differences. They've already learned about non-symmetric infix operators if they've learned subtraction and division, and the only reason to expect that ^ would be symmetric was by analogy to multiplication, which is easy to clear up. Take it as a lesson that by default you should never assume operations are symmetric, in preparation for linear algebra ;)

Are there lots of jobs that produce value above minimum wage? It's a tough question...

There are ways to solve some issues in a low barrier for entry style. Finland has mandatory return payment on all bottles and cans sold. This has resulted in a cottage industry of bottle collectors who target public outdoor events and places where people hang out.

So those people perform a valuable service and nobody needs to really coordinate anything.

But it would be a very bad way to depend on for livelihood. Somehow these worlds need to meet...

One problem with chasing after these fraud claims is that it's difficult to demonstrate, after the fact, how much the client was harmed by the fraudulent statements.
