I did something like this a long time ago in a little competition for beating others' rock paper scissors programs, except I used the other players' moves relative to my own (e.g. my program could catch on to the other player choosing the move that would beat my last move) as well as their current pattern of winning or losing.

Over time, I imagine this will self-correct. For the last decade or so the popular thing has been to copy Google's interviewing/hiring process because everyone wanted to be Google(in terms of engineering notoriety, not product/industry). It seems like that is beginning to fade out of popularity a bit though.
My First 10 Seconds on a Server
Wait wut?

First my cheques are free, and the only time I really use them is when somebody needs by account info on file.

Second I have a chip card and I hate it.

Third, you're right. US telecom blows.

Fourth I hate to break it to you but talent really does flock to the US from europe and elsewhere and many of our greatest scientists and entrepreneurs are from abroad. Hell, Elon Musk is South African. That is the result of an extremely innovation friendly investment community, and the best higher education (UK is a distant second), in the world.
Well, at least he still has a Facebook account.

First: IEEE 754 defines exactly (bit per bit) what the result of any floating point operation in each of the five rounding modes as long as no NaN is produced (but in this case only not all bits are defined exactly, but it will still be a NaN).

Unluckily C allows some optimizations to be done to code containing floating point code that violates this principle of bit-for-bit reproducability of floating point code. If this causes problems the code can be considered as numerically unstable.

In other words: Writing code that uses the IEE 754 defined "gold standard" in its code should be the goal scientific results.

The correct way for independent checking, if we really need 128 bit floating point numbers, is to wrap these operations by a software floating point library.

> It only means the method wasn't designed for the new environment.

If this property (what kind of environment the algorithm depends on) of the algorithm is not documented properly (and an explanation is given why we need this property (say: size of floating points, in particular unusual floating point sizes as 128 bit) for the algorithm to work correctly) any independent reviewer should better not assume these properties to hold. If we indeed find out that this causes problems, this is a strong sign to me that there might be subtile errors in the code. In other words: We should be really careful of the results that the algorithm gave.

The correct libertarian position is the abolition of IP entirely so that you destroy the market for proprietary software. If you still have some draconian FCC type organization controlling light (which is still insane, and should also be immediately abolished by any libertarian administration) you could at least mandate that the radios be open source at all levels to enable citizens to verify conformance.

You could probably do an easier job forcing open source just by requiring all government contract hardware / software to provide you with all design schematics and sources that you then immediately publish for consumers to utilize. Without IP bullshit, once someone is publishing it, you can trust it if you personally verify it securely.
Probably instead of a domain, it should be a private key. Generated at the time your birth certificate is.

>One of the open secrets of working in technology is that technical interviews are completely worthless as a predictor for whether someone is a good hire or not.

This is wrong. Apparently google has internally done much research and their interview techniques have strong collreation to success on the job.
No, that example is correct but you misread it: we're in a warmer period. Not a warming period. The warming stopped about eight thousand years ago. We've been in that warmer period since then.

For example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temperature_record#/media/File...

We would naturally now have started cooling again were it not for the additional greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. As I've already explained.
Yes, however neither google nor facebook can be pinned down to a single product. They are now holding companies which own dozens of products, some of which are successful, some which are fads.
While there is more than adequate evidence of racism in tech hiring, it would be useful if articles like this included the expected percentage of X engineers if there were no bias in the hiring process.

E.g. if the expected percentage of black engineers if there were no bias in the hiring process was 2%, that seems like important information to include.
It's not just income, it's speech and association (which are capitalized words in the US Constitution).
At least these cases seem a little more reasonable than the Microsoft case. Windows N was the dumbest product ever. No consumer wanted that. No consumer benefited from it's existence. Complete waste of time and effort.

Eliminating Google's stranglehold on search would be good for consumers I think. I'm not quite sure about the others. None of the write-ups seem to do a particularly good job summarizing the complaints. So I can't tell what the precise complaint is or what the improved consumer situation is speculated to be.
Yes, and it had numerous plumbing problems. Your point?

You might not want to, but maybe you should. Case in point.
Yeah, my parents and all my teachers told me I was 'gifted' from 2nd grade, and I really feel like it held me back, overall. Yes, I picked stuff up quickly, but I was also lazy as hell, and given no real incentive to learn how to not be lazy until it was too late to turn around my disastrous grades.

I have a son now, and I'm going to try to avoid calling him smart or gifted. Or at least not telling him that he's smarter than the other kids.
Wait you don't use google for searching?!?!?! Or gmail? I am in awe.

How to Talk to Anyone on Earth
Well, technically speaking the web based ones are called Outlook Web Access. And I don't feel there is confusion. How is it different with Microsoft that Outlook is Outlook, from how with Google Apps Gmail is Gmail? Just like with Outlook there are enterprise versions of Gmail too. Is it feature parity?
I'm pretty sure that the intended message was that we should not associate poor customer service with autism and then tar autistic people for whatever Google decides to do.
> Well, collecting the data yourself and writing the code yourself would be even more independent.

I wrote "any conclusion". This does not preclude collecting the data or writing the code yourself (and indeed you should if you doubt, say, the data). But it implies that the code that was used to come to the conclusion must be available.
This is an excellent point. This may seem off-topic, but I realized some time ago during the debates about minimum wage increases, it wasn't the managers of fast food joints being the loudest opposition, it was lower-middle class people who don't want to give up their $1 cheeseburgers, no matter what the societal costs.

If you create distance between a person and the consequences of their evil, they become more likely to tolerate their evil.

Fourth Amendment Caucus Defeats Patriot Act Expansion in Congress
Just look at this [1] list of the biggest tech/internet companies. They are all from USA and China. The only 2 reasons not all big companies are from USA is (1) Chinese versions are much better (Alibaba vs. Amazon/eBay; Uber vs. Didi) or (2) US websites are banned (Baidu vs. Google; Tencent vs. Facebook).

None of them are or (most likely) will be from EU. Europe has a declining population, too much bureaucracy, hostile business environment and many other problems. This investigation is an attempt to get some money from Google (combined with raid in France & Spain over taxes) and fund the bureaucrats in Brussels.

Can you qualify what "2 different forms of media" means? I'm assuming one physical, one cloud. Do you consider two separate external HDD's with the data on it to fail that test because they are the same form?

When my music collection was smaller, I had everything backed up onto an external as well as had them all physically burned onto like 50 DVDs. Since my collection has grown beyond a terabyte, however, I haven't had the time or energy to keep that up. Now it's just an external, a travel external, a redundant external, and a cloud backup.

Lack of exact licensing terms may make any legal dept (or just copyright-conscious individual) wary. The table at /license doesn't count - there are no definitions and without those some rows are really odd, like "multiple developers" restriction (who counts as a "developer"? does the "personal" license forbid two computer-savvy persons making a website? or, say, what if I code the page myself but then call someone for assistance?)

The US[1] doesn't recognized the "sweat of the brow" doctrine for copyright. There is no copyright on a "mere collections of facts", and no IP rights cover collected data.

Give that, what role does copyright law play (at least in the US) in preventing data sharing? I thought it was limited based on patient confidentiality, collaborator agreements, end-user agreements, desire to maximize publications from the same data, and other non-copyright issues which were at play.

([1] Other countries are more restrictive than the US in this regard.)

Yet with only a personal IPv6 block half the world can't access your resources so that's not a reasonable method at this time.

If you control the DNS there's no real need for owning your own IP addresses as you can just change what they point to. That's usually also much faster to do in a pinch than find a new party that will announce your block and convince the old one to stop doing so. That's usually hours if not days in lead time.

Though if you truly care enough about it you'll also want your own DNS servers and own gTLD in order to own the whole chain.

Yup; just like tobacco, acid raid, DDT, and the hole in the ozone layer. Very very sad. It shows you how powerful greed is, when people are willing to sacrifice humans lives and even the future of our planet just to maximize profits.

This is one of the main failures of our capitalist economy, IMO. The system needs a built in way to assign a value on sustainability and human well being, rather than just profits.
To be fair, Google's ad dept. wants you to put everything about your digital life into their services, yet nowhere do they warn you about backing your stuff up with the same gusto that they put into getting you to use the service in the first place. It's not quite a "Chad's Garage" scenario.

If my post is so full of ignorance it should be easy for you to formulate an argument against it, like I did against your comment. Yet, you seemingly can't.

Europe has been far better at adopting technology than the US has. Everything from Internet connection speeds and traffic prices to digital payments and identification. Europe has many successful technology companies and technologies, why they don't grow into the next big company is in part because they get acquired by US companies with offshore funds.
