Nothing is manifest, things change, but what is the optimal strategy for the present ?

A question - how many east asian programmers write C/C++/Java programs in Korean, Japanese or Chinese ? And if they do, do they have resources such as stackoverflow and forums in their languages ? What about Spanish, German and French programmers ?

Another question - what percentage of a population in any country is engineers ? Is it closer to 90% or 10% in above countries ?

Your points about equal access to opportunity are valid, but the assumption that this is responsible for the GDP being low is not in my opinion - there more complex factors.

In any case since you are feel this is important (there are relatively few who do), please try to improve the situation in some way, rather than just complain. It is hard.

Ah I should clarify I was talking about it being "captured and sent" as part of Cortana using "the cloud" to do the "heavy lifting" on the server. I wasn't talking about it being stored. I do not know if Cortana saves everything you say like Google does? If it does I cannot find any option to view and delete this data like I can in the Google Dashboard.

And yes I agree it is disturbing that so much is saved. I remember the first time I opened the audio recordings area in Google Dashboard and my jaw hit the floor at just how much it had captured. Thankfully you can delete it easily. Well delete it from view, I don't believe for a second it is truly gone.

While I appreciate the allure of such models, one point gives me pause: tracing and debugging. Maybe the tools have caught up to the point where tracing why a job wasn't triggered or failed in the middle is a simple task, but it always seemed tedious to me. My hope is that the explosion of the microservice framework will trigger a corresponding explosion in the tools to trace/debug it.

>It's sad but in Utah one of the best places to find a crook or a fraud is in your church congregation.

That's true of many scams - and it applies everywhere, not just Utah. I've seen it happen.

It's easier to get people to believe in unproven lies when they are perfectly willing to believe in other unprovable things (basically the definition of faith). And no, that doesn't apply to all people of faith, but I would be willing to bet it's higher than more rational people.
> H1B where their employer is their board? But it's still a lottery

I don't understand how you plan to start a business when you are being employed by someone else? As in I don't think you can be listed as a founder in the company that is offering you a H1B

> O-1? But it's supposedly a very hard visa to get?

Yes

> EB-5? But you need $500K-1M

Yes.

Ultimately, it is not easy and only a few can work (not start a business) in the U.S. YMMV and you should probably talk to an Immigration Lawyer.
Hey Watson: Google Is Coming
Clojure worked for me until I started to do parallel programming. I tried to use core.async but immediately found that I'm using two distinct style of programming, and code reuse became a serious problem.

I didn't find any resources on how other Clojure programmers deal with this problem, but this eventually lead me to drop Clojure and Clojurescript, and use Elixir and Elm instead.

I've long been partial to pie menus, even if they never caught on. How long? Since reading this article in 1991: http://www.donhopkins.com/drupal/node/98.
By submitting a bug through a bug bounty system you place the reward into Facebook's hands. Following the same argument you can say they can offer $1, because they are the only organization interested in the bug. After all exploiting a vulnerability puts you on the wrong side of the law.

However I do believe saying you discovered a pretty serious bug by putting it on a market sends a strong message. Your system is vulnerable and you are too cheap to pay up.
Is your name Trace?
Aw... it's a $100/mo server, not a $100 server.
I think a power analysis is incorrect here. Zara can and most likely will be held accountable for any illegal acts their lawyers committed by trying to intimidate the indie artist.

I am holding up the simple concept of property rights whether you are a big, and not necessarily bad, company, or you are a struggling moral artist. If you download torrents for any reason, it is still against the IP laws that protect them, even if you are doing it to make a statement. You are in effect against the concept of IP. Now, if you turn around, and call the big company evil or bad, because one of its 20,000 designers lifted a design off of a web site, how do you justify the apparent contradiction or hypocrisy.

I don't say this judgmentally, since I have struggled with this for decades. I buy indie games, donate to worthwhile endeavors when I can, and hope for the same reciprocation. I see the point for change and looking for new ways of doing business that benefit both sides of a deal. After all, the definition of a good bargain or deal is when both parties shake hands after exchanging goods and services, and each feels they received good value in the transaction when walking away.

To be honest, rigorously honest, sometimes demands calling ourselves out on our own contradictions and addressing them. I see to much dancing around the truth to justify what is currently stealing.

You and a large number of others would like to know what is in the telemetry. If I recall correctly, the problem is that it's all TLS wrapped with pinned certs (no source on that at the moment). You'd be doing the internet community a favour if you figured out a way to decode the "telemetry" packets to see what's actually in there.
But we are not taking civil engineers and putting them in construction jobs. We are, however, taking computer scientists and putting them in programming roles. And there is high demand for those programmers, weather you want to call them programmers, software engineers, computer scientists, or whatever.

Today, in most cases, a computer science degree doesn't translate into the skills to be an effective programmer out of the chute, but that is where the demand is.
Those sound like well solved problems. Not sure there is much to innovate there.

>And how much of it was to cause levity

This seems highly likely to me. Having interacted with a fair few people like this, it's easy to underestimate how much they see such occult practices in terms of irony and poetic language. They are most assuredly not making a naive attempt at doing what physicists do, which is the tempting assumption. (Sometimes it's correct of course.)

The emphasis in "magic words" is usually more on the words than the magic.

Even if we assume that a 5 year old has seen 1000-1500 pictures of say, cats, in his lifespan, it is still far less than the number of images required to train a CNN to label them as accurately as a human can.

And of course, I am not talking about just viewing angles. There are several other factors, but I only mentioned the ones which I could think of.

I've never measured it but it's around 300sq/ft, anyone I employee in the future (one day..) will get at least that much space, a budget to buy whatever computer gear they want and can have any desk/chair they want (I'll even build them one).

The cost of that stuff to the cost of a developer salary is a rounding error - I understand the stupid reasons companies skimp on that stuff but they are just that stupid.
Per the arrest of the torrent site runner in today's news, it seems he may have made millions in ad revenue on the torrent site.

The copying for non-commercial use is sometimes a moving boundary: For instance, you download a PDF of a technical book that is extremely expensive, or plain not available in your country, but you use it to just study on your own.

All the way to you download some video, sound, music, code, or book and incorporate it into your YouTube channel or your site that generates revenue for you. Now it is blurred IMO.

If you are parodying something, you may get away with it, but if you are leveraging it to avoid doing the work to generate the content yourself, you are stealing. It is commercial usage in this case, but many disagree it seems, but then point the finger at Zara mainly just because their a company. The actions of their lawyers are definitely illegal and low tactics, but just remember, it was most likely a very low wage designer that lifted the artwork from the indie artist's site. He/She will most likely or was already fired. Zara will be fine.
As a golfer, that code would have already been golfed down to:

num.to_s.chars.map &:hex

So digits only saves 14 characters (22 if reverse is really necessary). But usually we would actually be doing something with the digits instead of just getting them, so the method may save even less.

For example, for finding digit sums, the new digits and sum methods give us the efficient:

num.digits.sum

But for numbers up to 5 digits (or digit sums up to 47) we can already do:

num.to_s.sum%48

which is just 1 character longer.

I'm doing business (in my household) with both Tesla and Solar City. I can tell you this about Solar City: They're doing with roofing and power meters what Tesla is doing with vehicles. They're promoting a location-aware distributed electric-distribution grid.

We're lucky right now that the government's promotion of PV is putting the burden of power storage on the power-grid operators. Without net metering, this stage of PV would never happen. But net metering is essentially bad for the grid operators; they get paid nothing for storing power or sending it from a net producer to a net consumer. They will eventually prevail like they tried to do in Nevada earlier this year and buy power cheaper than they sell it.

But in the meantime the power grid companies haven't got a chance without competition. My home electric meter is as dumb as a box of hammers, even though I spend a lot of money with it and rely on it to keep my family safe in the winter. If that meter were capable of telling me when the power I used was coming from a peak-load diesel generator, I would happily turn off my electric stuff. But they can't do that now.

PV needs to use this window of opportunity to get going, and to get other power-storage solutions working. A Model S is one of those solutions: a gigantic battery with wheels and cruise control. To my way of thinking, systemwide integration is an electropolitical move worth making.

From a personal point of view, I can say that Solar City's sales and engineering teams are smarter and more committed than the people at other PV companies I spoke to. They are trying to build a scalable business rather than bopping from town to town installing stuff and moving on.

Will this work long term? Who knows? But it's worth trying.
Star Trek is mostly in a post-scarcity economy, and much of what we see takes place in the hierarchical command structure of a starship or starbase.

Star Trek did not say that politicians had to be scientists. Archer was UFP president from 2184–2192, and was not a scientist.

Star Trek is also, of course, fiction. As is Plato's "Republic", ruled by a philosopher king and thus (supposedly) based on wisdom and reason.
Personally I wouldn't be comfortable if I had to persuade them to let me work remotely to take a mortgage when the company has access to so much local talent. Maybe I'm reading that wrong, but if it wasn't an issue for them, there wouldn't be any persuasion: "Hey, can I work remote from now on?", "Sure!"
Yeah network capture isn't going to be any use as it is all encrypted. I was wondering if anyone had registry and file system captures on what was being collected, if that is even possible. It wouldn't surprise me to see Microsoft using private APIs to collect data and bypass monitoring tools. If they are it would look even worse though.

All of the FUD and other misinformation from random people on YouTube is annoying. I just want a straight answer.
It's ironic that so many people build services to "connect" people over long distances and find it amazing to find out you can work over long distances.

Your characterization might suggest that they hold too to little faith in rule of law, but the opposite is true.

Show HN: The Smartmockups App – Create stunning product screenshots in seconds!
When we first launched smartmockups.com as a small side project, we never anticipated the overwhelmingly positive response we received for the product. As a result, we’ve decided to take things a bit further by developing the Smartmockups app.

The Smartmockups app makes creating beautiful product screenshots a breeze, without using Photoshop. It offers over 200 premium mockups for both digital and printed products. It’s loaded with awesome scenes for responsive web designs and cool perspective screen mockups. Additionally, you can easily change background colors and select from a variety of background gradients.
In 1992, a friend got a job in the valley and I visited him when I was out there visiting the HQ for my company. He asked me to go with him to check out a condo he was thinking of buying. Remember that these are 1992 prices.

The two-bedroom place we looked at was just like one of my first apartments. When the agent said it was $250K, I almost fell on the floor. My wife and I had just bought our first house, which was about three times bigger as this condo with a large front and back yard in a nice middle class neighborhood, for $80K in St. Louis.

A few years ago, I saw him again. He has never owned a house but he now lives in a much nicer condo for $1.25 million. However, that condo just looks like a much nicer, updated version of that same apartment. He could have lived cheaper at an upscale, full service hotel in my town.
Inside 'City 40': Russia's deadly nuclear secret
Do you seriously believe that glib statement? That if you don't move to the Bay area or a reasonable image of it you might as well become a fast food worker or whatever? Yes, there are certain advantages to industry job density but I actually find it rather bad advice to frame a career in tech as inherently depending upon living in a half-dozen or so cities--that can't begin to accommodate everyone.
Ah, CNIL.

What counts as "excessive"? Apparently whatever someone at CNIL thinks is excessive. I can imagine that Microsoft learning what apps you download is inevitable given their reputation based malware detection scheme: no way for that to easily work except by IE checking in with Microsoft to find out if a program is known malicious or not. And figuring out if a program is actually interacted with or not seems like a pretty good signal to determine if a new, unknown program is a silent botnet or not.

"4-PIN limit is insecure, because there's no limit on the number of accesses" is exactly the kind of bureaucratic central-planning nonsense that France has so many problems with. You do not need absolute counted limits on a password/PIN system to make it secure. You just need to take other steps to make brute forcing infeasible, like throttling the rate of attempts. Why is CNIL attempting to micro-manage the code for the Windows authentication systems, something they are clearly not qualified to do? The details of Microsoft's security system is their concern alone: if users dislike the way Microsoft do it, then they have other alternatives they can easily switch to.

I suspect Microsoft may do what other big companies do and simply ignore CNIL completely. They can only hand out relatively small fines and it's easy for big companies to just pay them off to make them go away. Their rulings have a long history of being completely unreasonable so it's usually the easiest path.

If the BBC feels it absolutely must tie depression in Japan to comic books somehow, as part of its standard Japan narrative, it at least should have gone with discussing the comic book memoir Tsure ga Utsu ni Narimashite ("My Husband Got Depression") which got a lot of attention from 2009-2011 and helped raise awareness about modern medical attitudes toward depression.
The problem is much more severe on ZFS and other CoW filesystems, hence the common warning. Filling an ext4 filesystem up to 80%+ and then removing files might increase fragmentation a bit but it'll not have that much effect on performance. On ZFS, filling the fileystem up once can kill performance permanently on that pool.
Make no mistake, CNIL is only active to reach out big companies such as Facebook, Google or Yahoo so that the medias can speaks about CNIL as active.

Apart from that and from rewarding people by getting a well paid job inside it, CNIL is useless since 1978.

I remember listening to my law teacher in IT school back in 2000 telling us that CNIL doesn't have the budget nor the will to ensure anything.

Well now it's 2016 the commission has a 20M€ budget so they have to justify it by having some existence in the media.

I really wish someone would write an article about when to use regular columns instead of JSONB and whether you should split your data into multiple JSONB columns, etc.

So far the only thing I've figured out is that updating pieces of a JSONB structure seems like a bad idea at the moment since it will not always succeed (notably you can't add entries to an array once it has 999 elements already).

In my problem I've given each analysis tool I run and API I query it's own JSONB column so that they only ever need to be written once, or if they are changed, they would be overwritten entirely and keep a few normal columns that contain some metadata, but I'm not sure if this is a good approach.
Article provides only two specific examples:

You go on Facebook and you can’t even buy anything, but on WeChat and Weibo you can buy anything you see

A more recent trend: live-streaming sites where people pay real money to reward performers with virtual gifts. (You sang beautifully, here’s a digital Lamborghini, dear.)

I might grant the first (with reservations), but the second is laughable (and was tried without success here in the early days of social networking). I can't help but think this article should be titled "Chinese internet companies flourish in Chinese market". Well duh - even aside from the "virtual protectionism" of the GFW, Chinese companies are more likely to understand the preferences of Chinese consumers than non-Chinese companies. This is important, but it isn't exactly tech innovation.

How many HN startups are localizing to Mandarin? Language alone provides a massive market barrier that leaves opportunity for regional companies to thrive. But that barrier works both ways - what Chinese internet companies are thriving in the world marketplace? The best example I can think of is Alibaba, but that is strongly tied to Chinese manufacturing. Is anyone using WeChat or Weibo outside mainland China?

I personally am very excited and encouraged by the emergence of China as a modern, educated populace. Great things will come from bringing another 1 billion humans online and contributing to the world marketplace - tech is one of the great positive-sum games. I'm looking forward to it! But this article is a pretty poor illustration.

Also, as a Norteamericano, I'm deeply offended by statements like "America want's to believe China can't..." - we're not all xenophobic Trump supporters, not even most of us.
