There's merit in just pondering. This is a message board not a legal proceeding. What you're saying isn't totally orthogonal. I'm often surprised at how terrible modern software is. I suspect they actively subvert and displace popular software that they can't hack. Most hacks are probably generic exploits of library code. I imagine they economized. They wanted Total Information Awareness. I can't prove any of this; It just seems sensible. He's doing a red team analysis. It's not of the same form of thought. You can't invalidate it with the arguments you're making except for in some logical domain or something. It's not a true/false statement. It's not even fuzzy.
That's mostly true with growth stocks. If you buy Amazon trading at 300x earnings with the expectation that earnings will grow 50% per year over the next five years, then it's tough to say whether the price will be higher or lower if they meet your expectations.

Value trades rely a bit less on others' expectations. If you were to buy a company trading at 12x earnings with the expectation that earnings would grow 15% per year over the next five years, then it's pretty likely that if your expectations come to fruition then you'll make money on the trade.

Well, it does.
React is actually really ideal for web audio components. The web audio api is quite easy to use for the most part. The hard part tends to be building usable ui on top of it. I've tried in the past to bundle up modular audio components in a way that they can be used in a package manager. It is hard to do well since you also need css and html to go along with the js. With react, all that stuff is already together in one modular piece that is easy to install in your audio chain.

I've worked on building some audio stuff before using backbone. I might restart with React. In the very least, I will try and implement the redux pattern.

The 50 Best Mustachioed Swordsmen in Screen History
Chelsea Manning took vast numbers of documents she never read and then sent them to a stranger on the Internet who happened to have branding congenial to her politics.

I think the handling of the Snowden leak was also irresponsible and, from the vantage point of doing the most public good with the disclosure, has for the most part been a fiasco (notice how much more we learn about the contents of these documents after attacks and incidents become public?). But Snowden's leak handling was surgical compared to the shitshow surrounding the Manning leak.

These are the models (beauty contests and lotteries) that I referred to in my comment. These both have the problem of failing to allocate spectrum where is will do the most good, and beauty contests have the problem of greatly advantaging applicants with close ties to the FCC.

Your leasing idea is a little different, but doesn't solve the problem. How are these leases assigned in the face of mutually exclusive applications (which will be the norm for commercial wireless spectrum)? The options on the table so far are beauty contests, lotteries, or auctions.

It sounds like you have considered all the angles. I've just seen situations where management was blinded by the "hero programmer". However, with the perspective of the third member, it sounds like Rob is the weakest link (BTW, someone has to be the weakest). If he really is messing up your team's mojo, then either work towards the goal of "Making Rob Better", or make a business decision and let Rob go.
To me, this is a generalization of the benefit of software/automation: what we're really discovering is that when we force people to think through all the edge-cases in a process in order to explain that process to something as dumb as a computer—or a checklist—we dig up a lot of implicit institutional knowledge that, crucially, not everyone has. (Everybody that had it just assumed everyone else knew!)

The result of such a process can be a checklist, or a workflow diagram, or a program. The form of it isn't really important, so much as the fact that the business logic being applied (by a human or a computer) to each case now embeds all the previously-scattered knowledge of the domain explicitly, making each node applying it behave as the union of its institution's knowledge-bases, rather than as the intersection of those knowledge-bases.

"My prime example: When Apple released the iPad it quickly became a great hit. For me it was obvious that a lot of cheap copycats would spawn soon. What would you use for a cheap iPad knockoff? An ARM processor for sure. Strategy: Buy ARM and hold for years. F"

Do you think that Wall Street hasn't figured that out?

Apple is one of the most watched stocks in the world. To the original commenters point: the banks have reams of 'technically astute' Analysts making those assessments, and much, much, more.

Wall Street has people all the way up and down Apple's value chain. They pay 'consultants' the world over to eek out any tiny bit of information WRT Apple's supply chain.

Again - I agree with the original commenter: individual traders are severely outgunned when it comes to these things and that's why they lose money.

Yes - theoretically, there are some very narrow areas where a savvy investor might be able to win, and surely, Wall St. has some gaping systematic problems ... but by enlarge, I agree with the sentiment of the analysis as well, even as other have pointed out flaws.

Investing is 90% gambling. The world only has so much GDP growth and there's not enough to go around to make every investor super happy. Most returns that an investor makes are someone else's loss. The losers are usually those with less information, or are lazy about it all (like some 'big dumb funds')
I find this viewpoint too narrow. Just because you can name only 3 Roman emperors does not diminish or impair their 'greatness' of the rest.
The Millionaire in PJs Scam Review
It's surprising that he wasn't uncovered through player stats. If a newspaper headline hints about someone's scoring ability, wouldn't a few people get curious and look up the actual stats in some soccer almanac to see how good it is. Maybe that data wasn't easy to come by. In any sport that supports a national stats-gathering bureaucracy, that would be hard to get away with. E.g. baseball in the USA: you know everyone's "batting average" and so on. (Not to mention that when players are traded, the teams or clubs have access to this info!)

Multi-windowed mode can be found hiding in the options (which can only be edited with root) in 6.0.1, and it works well enough right now with just a few graphical bugs on very few apps.

It seems like there are a lot of points in Fred's story where even a miniscule amount of manual testing would have revealed the problem.

I pay no taxes.

There are no taxes on foreign generated income here (Colombia).

However I cannot bring over $10k a year through the financial system without being hit with a 3% financial transaction tax.

Fortunately it is easy to legally elude that tax, paying for everything with a foreign-issued card does the trick. And every once in a while a quick shopping weekend abroad with the girlfriend is a good way to bring a new laptop and $9999 x 2 in cash.
1) That's a logical fallacy. Just because every OS needs configuration, doesn't mean that it's ok for one OS to suddenly need a lot more configuration for no reason, let alone for the reason of making it as hard as possible to get the OS into a privacy-friendly state.

2) These settings have been resetted for many users in the past, especially after bigger upgrades, so you not having problems is not a terribly great metric. I don't have proper statistics either, but they would be very much appropriate here.

3) You cannot actually turn all telemetry off, at least not in any official way.

The NYPD's Third 'Forfeiture' Option: Call Seized Items 'Evidence'
Somewhat surprisingly, the paper doesn't actually use deep learning.
This is a good point.

For me, the actual email problem isn't huge - my first line of defense is giving out a burner email unless I want the primary site to be able to contact me. So I don't expect to get truly hammered with spam, and just want a way to know what happened if someone does sell the address.

The invalidation issue is a bigger one, and a subdomain is certainly a better solution for it. Disposable emails and the + notation are nice for people who either don't want to leave gmail, or are bound to it via college or company email system. They aren't the best cure, though.

Along your point, it's pretty easy to reverse the logic on the last sentence and still have it be a sane argument:

> This feature should be turned on for all apps; you shouldn't make every user wait for every app ever made to be updated because three people on the Android developer team made a new feature and were too afraid to break things, so they turn it off by default for legacy (pre-Nougat targeted) apps.

> CAN-SPAM only applies to senders in the U.S.

Given that SMTP is a relay system, would the first US-soil SMTP gateway machine a message travels through be its legal "sender" (in the way that e.g. the importer of a foreign medical device is liable if it's not FDA-approved)? One would think this would legally force those gateways, when handling foreign-originated spam, to slap their own address on them with their own unsubscribe link, that would—if clicked—then block those messages from coming through that gateway.

But in the real world version of the game you will never have enough time or space to non-ambiguously specify this infinitely precise real number which has an infinite amount of non-compressible information (see Kolmogorov complexity)."-Khatchig, from "Digital Physics" (the movie)

> I feel like Nix lacks a clear vision of its future.

There's various high-level plans that I think have a decent consensus, but not enough people have authority to make things happen. This means that more interesting PRs often rot.

> focuses on desktop systems

Nobody actually prioritizes desktops over servers, and the core design is quite agnostic, but because Nix is over a decade old, lots of old code and documentation do make it seem this way.

> yet apart from Linux no other server systems are officially supported

Other unices work do for userland Nix, and darwin has official binaries which would be the moral equivalent of official support. Also check out https://github.com/triton/triton a fork of nixpkgs which aims to have a NixOS work with FreeBSD kernel, and https://github.com/cleverca22/not-os to better make immutable OS images.

Forgive my ignorance, but it seems like this is just attempting to take advantage of the optimization done by LLVM, yes?

What I would love is a simple way of writing standalone functions that compile into a cross-platform LLVM file that I can call from a variety of other languages on a variety of other systems. In particular, if I train a recurrent network on text data for a chat bot, I want to be able to use that LLVM file + model in a game I release for the PC and for Android without worrying about the NDK/gcc/clang/Windows/OSX build nightmare. The ability to easily and quickly define a model in TensorFlow, write a Python function that takes an array of data, and spits out an array of data would be incredible and would mean that all the work I'm doing for a native Rust library is unneeded.

Admittedly, with Bazel I could create a C++ wrapper for the function which loads the library. It's just... that produces a 150mb shared library with all the dependencies and it's also a pain in the ass.
