I would disagree with that assertion. My internship proved to be extremely valuable to the company. An intern was actually a pretty important part of our culture. It allows higher risk R&D or to get things done which bypass the normal, sometimes slower process. And even if an intern fails, they'll have gained a lot of experience.
I don't see anything stupid about learning advanced mathematics on your own if you have previously followed a rigorous undergrad in physics or compsci.

Lots of mathematicians switch to a different subfield within their careers. And they do so by self studying, obviously.

If your compsci or physics undergrad provided you with a decent degree of mathematical maturity, it should be doable. The problem here is that compsci is still young, and there is a lot of variability. So diving into differential forms after attending a Java school sounds like a bad idea.
Somalia is a failed state run by divisional chieftains and warlords with military weaponry. In other words, it's all police.

That aside, how surreal is it to argue in favor of the application of equal justice for all under the rule of law, only to have "herp, derp, why don't you move to Somalia?" thrown in your face as a counterargument?

> Even our memories are not absolutely private in the United States. Even our communications with our spouses, with our lawyers, with our clergy, with our medical professionals are not absolutely private. A judge in certain circumstances can order all of us to testify about what we saw or remembered or heard.

And that's a problem. Communications with spouses, lawyers, clergy and physicians ought to be absolutely privileged. The disadvantages of doing so are outweighed by the advantages.

Frankly, I don't think anyone should be compelled to give testimony for the prosecution (I am okay with the defense being able to compel testimony). If someone has knowledge of a crime, but disagrees that it should be a crime, he should be free to keep his mouth shut.

> It is seductive when I hear someone say, “Absolute privacy is the paramount value. Our devices are designed to ensure that privacy is absolute in America.” Then, I stop and I step back and I realize, “You know, we’ve actually never lived that way. That is a different way to live.”

It's a better way to live.

That is a price to pay, but it is IMHO worth it, Those of us who support strong encryption shouldn't be disingenuous and deny that it exists; rather, we should be forthright about it.

Frankly, strong encryption is out of the bag. You can roll a secure cypher by hashing a key with 0, then 1, then 2, and XORing that stream with your message.

That statement might lack nuance, but it's not wrong. Skype and Facebook only have value to me because my friends and family use them. The value to me increases as more friends use those platforms, and would decrease if my friends left.
There may be no required technical skill set, but you better bring some rather advanced people skills (Not really sales skills, nobody at an Apple store works on commission). From what I've seen, the job looks quite demanding in terms of customer interaction; I don't know JK Scheinberg to judge how he would do on this, but putting it all down to age discrimination seems to be jumping to conclusions a bit.
There are two kinds of bike thieves, the kind that target any bike with weak security and sell it for $20 and the kind that are specifically targeting $3000 bikes in an organized fashion for whom no bike lock will be an effective deterrent if your bike is parked somewhere unattended for a long time or in the same place on a recognizable schedule.
Well, I just made a static build of a Qt 5.7 project that required the SVG image format plugin, so it's definitely possible. In qmake projects, it all happens automatically if you specify the plugins you use in the QTPLUGINS variable. In my case, I needed to add 'svg' to the QT variable. For non-qmake projects, I think you have to add Q_IMPORT_PLUGIN() macros to the source code of your program to "load" the statically linked plugins.

There is no lead in lead solder fumes (look up the vapour pressure tables. seriously).

The only thing in lead solder fumes is the rosin, which is benign except being an asthma sensitizer, so you should probably take precautions if you have asthma. Other then that it's basically harmless.

What bothers me about this article is the hook: if you can learn this stuff you can get a quant job on Wall St. Realistically, very very few people can (truly) learn this amount of material on their own, and even so, you will be competing with top people with advanced math degrees, so if you're not the second coming of Gelfand, the goal of getting this kind of job is completely unrealistic.

On the other hand, if you have the time (and ability) to learn some of this material on your own, for a purpose other than competing for a highly paid job as a mathematician, great.
I have a 2015 Fusion, and I agree the car is excellent and, alas, Sync is pretty dire.

Being Ford, natch, it's impossible to upgrade the Sync that shipped with the car with whatever they're shipping now, which I also heard is much better. My $500 tablet I can upgrade, my $30000 car I cannot.

To me the huge draw of Tesla is that the company actually seems to understand how computers work. Tesla updates their computers over-the-air. Meanwhile, Ford wants to charge me $150 to mail me a SD card, hah.

Saw Myles Borins give a talk about Empathy on JSConf Iceland last week, one of the best talks of the conference and some really good points there.
The talk is not available online (yet!) but I know it will be soon at https://2016.jsconf.is/ but I found this talk by him which seems to be based around the same concept: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GKTSvI8qw_M

Can't recommend it highly enough.
Most of the academic research I am familiar with suggests fairly strongly that the legalization of pornography and child pornography is correlated with a reduced rate of rape and child molestation.

> The FBI's interests are not aligned with yours, he even admits as much in the article!

In the context of hiring, yes.

> Giving the FBI "backdoor" access is akin to letting the FBI be the judge, jury, and executioner in your case.

Bringing them in to investigate a breach is akin to letting the police be … the police in an arson case. You're confusing talk of encryption backdoors (which are truly bad ideas) with his suggestion for companies to work closely with the FBI (which may or may not be a bad suggestion; given how political the bureau can be I'd be concerned).

> That could also easily be 650 regular American citizens who've done nothing wrong.

True enough. But even that doesn't matter: it's impossible to get rid of strong encryption; thus the FBI and everyone else must learn to live with it.
You're missing the point, I think. IMO, it is unequivocal that in theory continuing to operate the site for some time could lead to substantially more arrests. Whether or not the FBI succeeded in doing so is an operational matter. If they failed to exploit this opportunity properly, that doesn't invalidate the concept.

Now, you could criticize their operational use of this power, but that is entirely distinct from criticizing, in general, the use of this sort of tactic. Which, I think, on its face, is clear can be an effective one.
Why does it have to be a pursuit? Can the police speed through a city to arrive on scene of a crime? Say, for example, a domestic dispute turned into a violent assault?

Can they break down a door on reasonable suspicion when they arrive? Can they enter the contained private property without permission? Can they shoot one person to save the others life?
>They have license plate trackers, cameras, etc - they don't have to chase people down and personally hand them a ticket.

This is a pretty odd defense. How would you answer OP's question when worded this way - "So how exactly would they catch speeders then if they absolutely must not break the speed limit in 1955?"
Oh, I can play this game too: Why don't we make software without bugs? if you do software in an intelligent way there's no need to create bugs.

Of course everyone strives for better processes —at the end of the day, that means more revenue— is just that those problems seem easier to solve from the outside.
> For example, consider learning vectors, without the spacial/Cartesian visualisation as an aid. Or geometry without the visuals.

This only works with visuals due to the relative simplicity of the topic, and simple visuals such as this are commonplace in modern textbooks and lectures. This [1], for example, is a visualization describing the one-way functions with hardcore predicates from a lecture.

However, these visualizations fall apart exponentially as you ascend the mathematical ladder of abstraction. Mathematical nomenclature becomes overburdened by many assumptions, and without proper rigor, becomes incredibly difficult and long-winded to explain. This is why newcomers find it impossible to pierce high level mathematics, each rung of the mathematical ladder builds upon the last. How would you suggest a visualization that is useful for the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability [2] for example? You can look at all the visuals and simulations you'd like on Wikipedia, but unless you're a mathematical savant you'll have to dig deep into mathematical rigor, borrowing work done by giants in the past [3]. There's really no easy shortcut to this.

> But before that another kind of "intuition" can come from a useful mental model

This mental model can be just as unhelpful as helpful. It is notoriously hard to fix false preconceived notions, and someone that develops an "intuition" that only applies as at basic level could easily lead them astray, a la the Dunning-Kruger effect. Beginning tabula rasa is often the path of least resistance, since once someone learns something /properly/ the first time, they're more likely to apply it correctly, rather than trying to apply a model that falls apart at higher abstractions. You can't really jump rungs in the math ladder, or even stave it off as a form of debt, telling yourself you'll learn it later.

Lojacks are trivial to remove. They are one of the first things experienced car thieves look for, remove and dispose of.

A GPS device on a bike will be the same thing. You can't embed it into the frame either, since you as the legitimate owner need to replace its battery every now and then, which means it needs to be easily removable.
It's not about need, it's the structure that a university provides when you're trying to study complex topics.

And trigonometry is taught in high schools? It's something most children pick up, I don't think it's a fair comparison to say, measure theory.
You're absolutely right that "it doesn't have to be that way". I don't know if its because everyone who wants a bike already has one (and thus re-selling isn't profitable) or if its because Denmark has fewer drug-addled fiends per capita, or if its because the cost of the grinding wheel to cut a u-lock exceeds the illicit resale value of a bike.

Whatever the case... a good ulock doesn't hurt even in Denmark.

What I Learned from Deep Learning Summer School 2016
Like #node.js, they have 1000-2000 users connected with probably the same level of engagement, so probably 98% idle which means it's effectively a chat room for about 15 people.

And each person needs to care enough about IRC (e.g. run a VPS) to receive pings or messages while they are away and to see the message history when they return.

Maybe IRC is "plenty popular" which apparently means popular enough to find someone willing to shoot the shit with you if you're in one of its largest channels. But that's a far cry from "IRC is everywhere".

I use IRC every day. I'm just not left scratching my head when I find out that yet another ecosystem chose Slack/Discord over IRC. It blew me away when I saw how active Elm's Slack was while #elm is dead. But that's pretty much how it is with every community I'm part of with a Slack channel.

Sometimes people here suggest "maybe IRC is just for developers", but you can't even format a code block on IRC. :)
The article mentions ointment and bandages, which are of marginal value for a paper cut. By far the most effective treatment for paper cuts and other small injuries such as torn hangnails is a liquid bandage like New-Skin:

http://www.newskinproducts.com/liquid-bandages/liquid-bandag...

Don't use any ointment; that will interfere with the bandage sticking to the cut. The liquid bandage itself prevents infection because it seals the wound completely and has a mild antiseptic in it. Just wash the cut with water, followed by some hydrogen peroxide if you have it. Never use rubbing alcohol on a cut unless you enjoy extreme pain!

Let the cut air dry, then apply a thin layer of the liquid bandage. It may sting a bit at first, but that only lasts a moment. Wait for it to dry and add a second layer for more protection, and even a third layer if you want some cushioning. The thin layers will dry faster than one thick layer. If you really need some extra cushioning you can put a band-aid on top of the liquid bandage after it dries.

If the cut is bleeding, you'll need to stop the bleeding first, otherwise it will seep through the liquid bandage as it dries. You can use pressure or a band-aid while the bleeding stops. Afterward, still don't use any ointment, just wash and dry and apply the liquid bandage.

The edges of the dried bandage will tend to peel after a day or so, especially if if it gets wet for a while. You can just add another layer on top, especially around the edges, or depending on the cut it may be better to peel off the old bandage completely and start with a new layer.

I've used this stuff for years and can't recommend it enough. Do yourself a favor and pick up a bottle or two - I keep one at home, one in the car, and one in my backpack.

(It should go without saying that I have no connection with this company. But if you'll forgive a pun, they have saved my skin!)

My issue with the arduino community basically comes down to:

1. The HORRIBLE code quality in the entire arduino codebase.

2. The prevalence of straight up factual errors everywhere in their stuff.

3. Their shitty, SHITTY schematics.

To be clear, getting a AVR to run a "flash the LED" program is trivial. There is really not much /to/ an arduino (it's an overglorified atmel eval board).

When you refer to `trying to get the device to simply boot or do the simple thing`, what you're normally talking about is trying to get a fully integrated complicated system to power up and function to the point that it can then be debugged further. This is a COMPLETELY different ball-of-wax, and requires a much more broad toolset, because you have to be able to diagnose why it's not working. Sure, with arduino things, you can plug the bits together, and it'll MAYBE work (assuming non-buggy libraries, which is very much not usually true). OTOH, if it doesn't work, ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. You're going to need a logic analyser, or an oscilloscope (or both!) to figure out why. I can pretty much guarantee the person who initially wrote the library for each of your "snap together" module components did have to go though all that.

Basically, arduino stuff is the PHP-equivalent of the hardware world. The general quality is low, there is little push for improvement, and everyone is sticking buggy crap on the internet.

For example, the "Arduino Mega" (call it a goddamn ATmega2560, dammit) has multiple hardware serial ports (4 of them). For a long time (possibly until today), even if you weren't using the ports, it allocated two 64 or 32 byte buffers for each port statically. This is on a platform with 8KB of RAM total.

Would it be trivial to fix this? Yep. Did they? Not the last time I checked.

These are also the same people who decided malloc() on a platform with 2 KB of ram was a good idea (it's not).
By "user" you mean developer, but you're trading off compile time pain for you, and saddling everyone else with downloading an extra 100kb, which on mobile networks or in developing countries is unforgivable.

The thing is, anyone who wants a Tesla model S probably bought it last year or this year. Anyone who wants an S class or a nice Audi or BMW may have bought one three or four years or more years ago. A spike in sales in the first year or two of real availability, resulting in "outselling" other luxury cars, is not really surprising. It will be more interesting if it keeps up after all the people who want an EV already have one.
The DC Metro system (the subway) is designed so that it could be used as a bunker.
Superglue also works pretty well, if nothing else is available.

Honestly this might sound rude but a lot of written tutorials/blog posts in JS are made by people with good intentions but not a lot of experience or expertise, so they end up hand-waving a lot or just not explaining things right.

As an extreme example: NASA has done a pretty good job of making software without bugs [1].

Consider these stats : the last three versions of the program — each
420,000 lines long — had just one error each. The last 11 versions
of this software had a total of 17 errors. Commercial programs of
equivalent complexity would have 5,000 errors.

> A few years after Uni, I started teaching myself Calc, Trig, Vector maths, Diff Eq and Physics strictly from what I have found on various sites, software and books.

Most unis I know of (I'm in the US) require those courses to be taken as part of your undergrad before you can attain the CS degree. Furthermore, with the prevalence of AP courses at the high school level, many students enter college already having taken some, possibly all of those courses.
I'll counter your anecdote with mine: in my undergrad years, I started out as a computer science major, and discovered that I wanted to do computational astrophysics 3 years into my college career, meaning that I lacked significant physics background. The Astronomy department was adamant on me "needing" to have done the basic physics classes (mechanics, E&M) before letting me into an introductory quantum physics class, even though I already possessed a working knowledge of the basics. I emailed the professor of the quantum physics class, explaining my situation, and simply ended up taking the quantum class alongside the basic physics classes.

Although I think your situation was pretty special as well, transferring universities is usually incredibly annoying and filled with road bumps. I've found there's a lot more leniency given to students who remain within the same university.
Neat! I love it!

What's it written in and can I host something similar myself?
