Right, I didn't expect someone to put my comment through their formal logic interpreter which doesn't make any assumptions about context and meaning whatsoever.

What I meant was that any bullshit anti-Microsoft fairy tale stuff, which is not trivially disprovable as physically impossible or clearly illogical for Microsoft to do, is just as valid as whatever he/she believes.
That is, as long as his/her beliefs are also within this same range of thinkable things that Microsoft could do, as otherwise those other claims would actually be more valid.

There's always room for improvement, but even the first incident outlined in the article shows how far we've come and how safe air travel is.

- The 777's TCAS alerted them to the problem and recommended an evasive action, which they took

- The Controller, despite not having followed his normal procedure prior to issuing the takeoff clearance, noticed his mistake around the same time the TCAS went off in the 777 and ordered evasive action to the Cessna

- The FAA's reporting system allowed the pilot to report the incident which was followed up on with an official investigation after which several actions were taken, including training, QA reviews in the SFO tower, establishing a panel to review the SFO transition corridor, etc.

The road to flight safety is unfortunately paved with tragedy but that's the case with anything transportation-related.

The author's proposal to break ATC away from the FAA doesn't do much to fix the problem that caused the highlighted incident (human error). Although a better-funded ATC system might have more technical controls in place, when you're dealing with one of the busiest airspaces in the world issues like this are going to occur. A better solution might be to ban non-commercial traffic from certain Class B airspaces - not that I'm in favor of that.
No, look at the whole system. Instead of four people with four cars (or even two cars and a couple bikes), you can have one autonomous shared cab driving an optimized route.
The FBI found out his bank account information from buying ads. He probably bought something on iTunes and that would be sufficient for Apple to be given a search warrant for any data related to x IP address, billing info, email address, or name. Any identifying details they collected at that point.

Not hard to connect the pieces once you have a money trail. That's an investigative gold mine.

Yeah these definitely weren't top tier developers. Even so I was happy with the quality of the code on the two we retained, it was everything that goes around it that I struggled with. For example they wouldn't ask questions or admit that they're struggling with something. I saw a lot of this in the interviews as well, you would ask a question like "do you know what X is" and they would say yes, but then sit in silence. So you probe "well what is it?" and they would go "I'm not completely sure" or just try to make something up.

I definitely agree with you though. We interviewed one person that was exceptionally good: very experienced, good comms, ticked all the boxes. His salary expectation was around a junior dev salary in the UK, which unfortunately was too high for management who had set a budget per developer, rather than thinking it was worth hiring him and one other instead of four lukewarm devs.

Better observability with Dtrace, mdb, iostat, and vmstat on illumos-based systems for sure. Also simple logic dictatates that if something is made on something for that certain something, it's going to run best on that something. Linux has ZFS, but it's grafted on and the illumos POSIX layer is emulated in that sense. Further, Linux's version of OpenZFS will always lag behind fixes and features in the illumos-based systems; even FreeBSD usually contains newer vesions of OpenZFS sooner than ZFS on Linux does. Linux is just "the last hole on the porting flute".

Also, experience tells me that illumos and FreeBSD based systems will always perform faster than Linux with
regads to ZFS but I'd have to publish a full line of benchmarks and I bet even those would get vehemently disputed because Linux is all the rage right now, so that's a lost cause: you have to try it for yourself and make up your own mind.
As dietrichepp said parallel programming would be a good fit for Rust. See if this works for you.

https://blog.rust-lang.org/2015/04/10/Fearless-Concurrency.h...

Edit: you could also do safer C/C++ interop with JS through Rust, if you want to use some legacy code.
Yeah, they are pretty smug about it. The problem is that nothing short of perfect developers will completely stop errors but seeing how we see major memory safety exploits in C at least a few times a year for the past couple decades it might be time to start considering come sort of solution, whether it is Rust or otherwise.
But if the user resets their password, it should log out all the user's sessions. But you have to wait for the cookies to time out before they are re-authenticated. (Or make a check on every request to see if the password has been changed, which is just a pain.)
I have LittleSnitch on my Mac and observe the requests that my Windows VM makes. I believe you can use an equivalent tool on Windows, such as GlassWire, or also the very useful tool O&O ShutUp10 with which you can disable telemetry settings.

I can believe that. This is why it's so crucial to have good management.

It's amazing how fast you can become irrelevant when you're unplugged and stuff like this is exactly why.
Ask HN: What is the best way to run a scientific experiment on a cloud platform?
My current project is to try and classify proteins by one of their properties and I'm currently exploring which ML algorithm has the best accuracy on the dataset. I'm trying out 4-5 classifiers from python's sklearn library and I want to run them in parallel on a cloud platform. The reason for running them in the cloud is that they take 6GB of memory each so I don't want to run them on my computer.

My current solution is the following script: http://pastebin.com/6X6JsXzH but I'm wondering if there's a better/easier way to do this.

If this was the case then why has it never been used as a means to catch someone so far? There have been hundreds of darknet related arrests and none have been related to bitcoin.

Pretty much every other investigative means is easier than tracking down bitcoin like that.
I was referring to the "build the wall" reference in the comment I replied to. And yes, he tends to run his mouth without fact-checking which is one of the reasons I don't like him.

That said though - the core issue he is exploiting is an undeniable failure of the federal government to address the illegal immigration problem. It's a huge issue that has been swept under the rug and is there to be exploited by a politician like Trump who positions himself as a "non mainstream politician".

Violent[ish] protests staged by the left waving mexican flags and burning american flags only helps his agenda.

The code emitted by 2.12.0-M5 is slower in certain benchmarks, but I don't expect this to be the case for the final 2.12 release.

We're working on the performance issue, with help from the team at Oracle. The problem is likely the JIT having trouble optimizing the bytecode we emit in M5 (we know of other schemes that don't suffer this slowdown, but require more bytecode).
This is my reaction too. There are systems with no security flaws, but they tend to be small-surface devoted hardware. Something the size of Windows will consistently turn up zero-day flaws that could be used against voting, whereas plenty of on-metal microcontroller programs have no holes at all.

Frankly, a really reassuring voting system would be the exact opposite of what we have: it would be open to all security researchers and consist of minimal, verifiably-safe code to count vote totals.

Oops, this wasn't meant to be a top level comment.
If you have a concrete example of this occurring, then consider whether it's bribery:

18 U.S. Code § 201 - Bribery of public officials and witnesses
"directly or indirectly gives, offers, or promises anything of value to any public official, former public official, or person selected to be a public official, for or because of any official act performed or to be performed by such public official, former public official, or person selected to be a public official; or

being a public official, former public official, or person selected to be a public official, otherwise than as provided by law for the proper discharge of official duty, directly or indirectly demands, seeks, receives, accepts, or agrees to receive or accept anything of value personally for or because of any official act performed or to be performed by such official or person;
"

My understanding is that prosecutors would be heavily incentivized to find an underground bribery operation on Congressmen; it would be a career-making move, and they could make press releases to everyone. People clearly care about corruption and bribery, as evidenced by this election cycle.

The commenters in this subthread have already agreed that it is good to give prosecutors extensive leeway in prosecuting crimes, or even deciding whether something is a crime. And in this particular case, the incentives line up. So it seems unlikely that congressmen are engaging in outright bribery, with the prosecutors letting them get away with it.

Again, if you know something that the prosecutors don't, you can contact your state Attorney General to report a crime. They would probably at least open up an investigation. For example, it looks like 5 Congressmen have been prosecuted over the last year alone, so they're hardly immune to the law:

http://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/dem-congressman-conv...

Additionally, the FCPA makes it a crime for US companies to bribe foreign officials(such as in the Ukraine, where this article's criminal seems to be based). I've had to sit through 3-4 of these anti-corruption seminars, and it sure seems like another law that prosecutors would love to follow up on.

My guess is that the lobbyists are simply more persuasive, and seem to care about the law a lot more than the other types of people who comment on the law.
With all due respect to the 'use the existing headline' convention, a minor edit to this Yoda-style instance would dramatically decrease misunderstanding of the article topic.

People have tried. No one's succeeded. Not every endeavor is a success.
Prisons, lawyers, judges, social workers running drug rehab programs, feds (DEA, FBI), local police, defense industry selling helicopters, airplanes, surveillance technology, etc, etc.

An unthinkable amount of money has been spent and made from the drug war for highly questionable ROI to the public.

What type of reduction in police work would take place if the drug war was ended today? 20%? 30%?

The war on drugs is a job machine. DEA agents fly around like international playboys from the books I've read. Plus international governments get tons of money from the US to run their own interdiction programs.

There has to be some level of influence to keep the 'war' going from these perverse incentives.

From the article:

Over the last years working with Seafile Ltd. has proven more and more difficult. Our cooperation now has reached a point where we can no longer in good conscience develop a software together.

Our goal at Seafile GmbH is and has always been to provide a stable and reliable product for our customers and the Open Source community. We have been disagreeing for a long time with

- the current development race,

- erratic changes of public plans,

- beta testing on paying customers,

- removal of features without proper prior notification or migration plans and

- disrespect towards data privacy when it comes to German or European law.

I think what he means is that mormon concept of Zion/New Jerusalem cannot be brought about by someone with his standing in the mormon church. It would need to be initiated by the leaders of the church who presumably act in God's name. In fact, the location of the New Jerusalem has already been prophesied. It is supposed to be built up in Missouri. It was already started but never finished. You can go and see where the corner stones for the temples were placed decades ago but never completed. It doesn't mean this guy can't create a nice community but it will never be Zion in the mormon sense of the word.

Source: I was raised mormon and my family used to go visit the location where Zion was to be created.

Cool! I actually starred your project last year. Never really got around to looking under the hood though. How do you handle the "multiple destinations" part? In python you can do it with a coroutines [1, 2] implementation (push based). I avoided that, since it coroutines have their own form of callback hell, and decided to implement a generator api (pull based) [3, 4].

But since generators can only be "pulled" into one destination, you have to copy a stream (subsequently converting it into a list) if you want more than one destination [5]. This works fine if the data can fit in memory, but if it can't then you're out of luck!

Yes, and VLC should have to pay movie publishers since they let users add subtitles over the video stream.

That makes a lot of sense. /s
The main reason I'd consider remote is that it's possible circumstances would force me to move out of Texas next year. If that happens, I'll be in a situation where I'd need to find both housing and a job in another city ASAP. I simply don't have the vacation time to waste travelling across the country to interview, and I have serious issues with flying anyway. It'd be much easier if I could get a job working remotely (without having to travel to interview) and then move to the town of my choice (which will almost certainly be a suburb of either LA or Chicago).

Good luck!

What's kind of cool about this issue is that it attracts support from citizens of all political stripes - whether you're a farmer who just wants to be able to fix his own damn tractor, or a hacker who wants to futz with proprietary hardware, the law is patently bogus.

Unfortunately, farmers and hackers have far less political influence than corporations. Hopefully by pursuing this through the courts and with adequate resources from the EFF some progress can be made that couldn't be in congress.
Good, it keeps the prices down for those of us who want to live very far away from you.

I'm especially appalled by your response to Trump's comments about Gonzalo Curiel. Non-uniqueness does not give pardon to his ridiculous, insensitive, and racist comment. Besides, Trump suggested Gonzalo Curiel's judgment was biased because he was Mexican - how can you claim that this is a rhetorical device akin to Obama's "demonstrably false" statement about purchasing a gun in America? What sensation did Mr. Trump raise other than bigotry and hatred of others? I don't find his comments acceptable especially because he's running for a president!

Note that the article buries a much easier way to deal with this problem:

"some websites don’t verify the user’s authentication on each request (i.e. there is no way to revoke the session cookie once issued)"

Which implies that if you do verify the session on the server and have a mechanism for invalidating these sessions on password change, etc, you can just use very long cookies and you're done.

There are very good reasons for doing that anyways, so no need for this hack.

Agreed it's not a great metric, but it is a good proxy especially if you suplement it with another source, such as the number of HN front page articles discussing TensorFlow. Given those two signals, I imagine Tensorflow will continue to gain momentum, at least in the short term.

However, like all SDKs (is that still a thing?), it can be easily be supplanted when something that is easier to use, fixes the flaws of, and is better documented comes out. This is doubly true given that the AI space is still (imo) in its infancy, wrt to developer tooling.

I agree. It's like arguing that autonomous weapons systems are better than human-operated because they don't get tired, whilst neglecting to mention that, say, their object detection algorithms can't tell the difference between combatants and civilians.

Autonomous systems, as a technology, are capable of performing better than humans; that doesn't imply that some particular autonomous system (e.g. Tesla's Autopilot) does so right now.
