Um, what? I read the story of his SF arrest. That's... not what happened.

He was arrested because the police resented that he did not immediately 'respect my authoritah'. He was not interfering with paramedics. He was a safe distance away.

He got put on psychiatric hold by the police as retribution for insisting it is reasonable for him to have the right to see a doctor for medical treatment.

Medical treatment which was only required because the police physically assaulted him.

It's very hard to imagine a retelling of his story which doesn't involve substantial police misconduct.

It is definitely much easier in a small company. We hire mature adults and treat people as mature adults. Drink/don't drink, play a chess game or not, work at home or not, stay and play some games after work or go pick up your kids, we do not care as long as the work gets done.

All people are different and value different things. If you hire responsible adults, you can give a lot of leeway with how the work gets done.

If they're newcomers, yes.

If they're long-time residents, they're paying $800 a month for that exact same $4k/mo apartment.

You're basically asking the long-time residents to vote for measures that will detract from the San Francisco-ness of SF and won't benefit them at all. This is why the NIMBY groups are so powerful.

The only way that you're going to beat them is by getting enough newcomers who can overpower said NIMBY folks in municipal elections. That's going to take a long time to happen.

Sorry I don't have better academic references.
I applied a few months ago to a position at Spreedly and welcomed the code sample process. It is only one part of their hiring process, like the article mentioned. I loved getting feedback on the results too, it turned out someone had a better score and that's ok, I knew exactly why and actually learned something about that problem. Most jobs you apply for and don't get you just hear deafening silence back.

It also gives you an idea of what the company focuses on - delivering working software. I'm not saying companies that don't do work samples don't focus on that but as a candidate it makes you wonder if playing games is part of the job. You gotta talk about real code, look at real code and discuss it.

I have also been a manager and sat on the other side of the hiring table and it is hard to judge the technical chops of people. We used quizzes of deep technical items that should have been known by someone if they had done the work before (e.g. MTU settings for a db cluster) and that helped weed out people but it really wouldn't give a sense of if they were a 100% good fit, you need other ways to check that too.

I like the analogy of developers to chefs and cooking. Programming puzzles is like judging a chef on cute tricks to slice an onion. Would you hire a chef based on their onion slicing tricks or their ability to cook an amazing meal?

I see why they want to create their own curated content. A friend of mine has created and run several user-generated content sites and he said: "user generated content is worthless; largely racism and porn." It's driven by the lowest common denominator.

As long as content is hosted on company-controlled servers where ad revenue is the model for survival, you're going to see slow declines and eventual busts like Digg. Users hate being advertised to and censored.

The future is probably something where people pay a small amount to access a forum that's somehow distributed on their machines (phones, PCs, etc) and not controlled by any organization. Data transfer (even mobile) and storage are getting cheaper. It'll be like bitcoin, but for discussions.

Depreciation is also a function of mileage.
A cool thing about HTTP/2 is that it's really mostly just an optimization for HTTP/1.1.

Which means that if and when we come up with something better, we can deprecate HTTP/2 support, and support only HTTP/next + HTTP/1.1. This helps avoid legacy cruft.

Google did that for SPDY with Chrome - it's no longer supported.

While I'm not convinced that a proper implementation of HTTP 1.1 would actually be just as fast as HTTP 2.0, if you are right, there will be data to show it, and it's not too late for us to change the ecosystem based on that data.

> The only reason web forums exist is because people are lazy about adopting decentralized Free software

Or because that open-source software is user-hostile and has no serious argument for its use for 99% of people. When users don't do something you like, in almost every instance it's your failing rather than theirs.
They didn't sue him, yes. But they did specifically mention DMCA, and that they believe what he did to be illegal. So, at the very least, it was an implied threat. Which he ignored because "<b>if</b> we lived in the US we would have been in breach of the DMCA".

I also don't see anything in that comment saying that they should be forced to decouple software from hardware. What it says is that they shouldn't be allowed to legally prohibit their users from doing said decoupling on their own, if they have the resources and the expertise to do so.

Now, this position does result in their business model being non-viable - if working around such technical restrictions is not illegal, and it's cheaper than not doing so, then there will be a market in workarounds. But I think that is fair - there's no inherent right for some arbitrary business model to be viable, so the market sorts it out. Companies can still try to make it work by utilizing more sophisticated protective schemes that require more effort to break, raising the cost of such workarounds. But if it doesn't work for them, well, they will have to look for a different business model - sell the device at a higher price, say, to mitigate losses from savvy customers that cannot be milked; or rent it out instead of selling.

As to patents and copyrights - these are, indeed, legal tools that enable specific business models. They exist because we as a society (i.e. majority consensus) believe that these are necessary to stimulate creation of certain goods that would otherwise not be created at all - so we have established them as a kind of explicit social contract. One could argue that their present form (terms, especially, and domain of applicability) is not actually agreed upon by the majority; but I think most people agree with the basic principle. They also have some important exemptions, such as fair use, which are also there to ensure a balance between keeping the business model viable, and protecting other social interests.

I don't think that a similar consensus exists with respect to DMCA protections. If you take a random person off the street, and explain them a situation that DMCA makes illegal, as the original post in this thread, the most common reaction is "WTF? This is insane". And I think it's for a good reason - DMCA doesn't really enable any business models that are uniquely suited to producing goods and services that the society needs, and that cannot be produced through any other business model. All it does is provide some opportunity for extra profit. I don't think that most people would consider extra profit for a few businesses to be sufficient justification for very heavy-handed legal restrictions that defy common sense.

I love security posts like this. His previous one about facebook messenger status was also really nicely done.

He doesn't succumb to the temptation to be abusive (to either the people who made the thing he's testing, the people reading, or anyone who might be impacted by it), which is something a lot of security researchers seem to find impossible to avoid; there's a lot of calling people various forms of stupid in many incident reports. Even when given ample opportunity by the Tinder folks to call them names, he didn't do so (and, didn't blow it out of proportion, either...it's problematic, but if you're using Facebook and Tinder, you probably are already aware you're giving up a lot of privacy; this is a big deal, but not vastly bigger than using facebook all by itself).

He explains clearly what he did, and what tools he used to do it, which is another thing that often gets left out. Many security folks follow the magician's code ("never show'em how it's done"), and are dismissive that mere mortals could ever understand what they do.

And, he tells a good story in the process. All around, top notch technical writing about a usually boring subject.
If you're talking about making a map of the astrophysical or cosmological backgrounds of gravitational waves -- you're right. As you integrate (i.e. capture more data), the noise will tend to cancel out while the signal will reinforce itself. But the problem is that the signal-to-noise-ratio is so small -- essentially zero -- that, with current detector sensitivity, it would take literally forever to get an image with any features at all.
Why would they? What if he comes back to post another video?

Comparing a less-than-optimal textual description with an optimsed symbolic or digrammatic description proves little.

It helps to know that tatami are rectangles with length 2x width (something a casual and/or non-Japanese reader might reasonably not know).

What's described is eight tatamis (length 2x their width), arranged in a square. Much of the confusion comes from describing each tatami's relation with its neighbors, rather than the space as a whole, and referencing other tatami rather than the room as a whole.

A simpler description:

A square room, four units per side, filled with eight mats, each one unit wide and two units long. Looking away from you, down either wall are two mats placed lenthways. On the near and far walls, a single mat between those, long edge to the wall. In the center square, two mats placed long edges parallel to the side walls.

Valid-only convolution (in the MATLAB sense) by itself reduces the dimensionality of the input; for images, it will go from (h x w) to (h - kh + 1) x (w - kw + 1) per each plane.

You can think of a convnet as a series of feature transformations, consisting of a normalization/whitening stage, a filter bank that is a projection into a higher dimension (on an overcomplete basis), non-linear operation in the higher dimensional space, and then possibly pooling to a lower dimensional space.

The “filter bank” (aka convolution) and non-linearity produce a non-linear embedding of the input in a higher dimension; in convnets, the “filter bank” itself is learned. Classes or features are easier to separate in the higher dimensional space. There are some still-developing ideas on how all this stuff is connected to wavelet theory on firmer mathematical ground and the like, but for the most part, it just works "really well".

For an image network, at each layer there are (input planes x output planes) convolution kernels of size (kh x kw).

Each output plane `j` is a sum over all input planes `i` individually convolved using the filter (i, j); the reduction dimension is the input plane.

I have only a fleeting familiarity with Hanami and Trailblazer. It struck me that they are both achieving very similar ends. I preferred Hanami in that it retained very discoverable mechanics for people comfortable with recent low-level trends in webdev (e.g., Interactors are simply Service Objects) while Trailblazer seems to have its own heavily engineered high-level paradigms (e.g., Cells) that seemed more suited to the Rails way of thinking (geminize all the things!). Any paradigms/approaches that Trailblazer advocates that you prefer over Hanami?

Reddit's main problem is that they spent years building their user base as a site to find 'jailbait' porn (it was by far the largest search result that brought people to Reddit for a long time).

That created a toxic culture, which allowed stormfront and similar groups to use it as a recruitment ground for racists.

Reddit still refuses to do anything about it. The 'quarantined' a bunch of truly vile subreddits but all that does is give them a place where they can coordinate brigades of the public subs out of view.

Well, from the consumer perspective, their most visible and obvious source of relevance, they've got barely anything worth talking about, and everything they've bought up, people are holding their breath waiting for corporate inertia to contaminate and ruin.

The problem with checklists, including this one, is that we tend to limit ourselves to what's in the list. Furthermore the list doesn't explain 'why' you should do things.

Usually it's a lawsuit against some state government. Which shouldn't be surprising, since most laws affecting day to day lives of citizens are state laws, rather than federal laws, due to constitutional limitations on what can be enacted on the federal level.
