You think they not culpable for the past because money got move around? Or that they are not guilty because the numbers are not astronomical.

Why do you think India is bent on AEOI with the swiss. Just to spite them?

I always appreciate when libraries and tools are carefully engineered for performance, provided the abstraction holds and the thing solves the problem it is supposed to.

It seems to make sense to invest the most energy in optimizing and otherwise improving the tools that are more general and used widely. In which case this library clearly fits the bill.

On the other hand in application code, possibly while still experimenting or developing ideas it makes most sense to aim for maximum readability and simplicity. Optimization can be left for when there is a proven need for it.

How does Proxima Centauri play into this? I am assuming it isn't a trinary star system, but they mention it being (roughly) the same distance away in the same direction.

Also, are there planets in the binary Alpha Centauri system? Do they orbit the common center of mass that the two stars orbit?
Just a brief note for those coming late to this thread that this originally pointed to (and made it to the frontpage as) [1], which is a discussion of only the part of this speech by Comey which pertains to encryption and privacy, and which starts with "A brief word, because I can’t resist, to talk about encryption", which you can grep for.

A basic summary, not using the same words: They want backdoors, and they propose that still counts as 'strong encryption', only, well, with a backdoor. Also, they intend to make a push for this next year.

And this is the problem - you don't teach students how Euler or Aristotle came up with the idea that they would understand, instead you force an abstraction on them right from the start without them grasping any connection to any part of reality they are immersed in. Some of us are capable of connecting the dots right away, some aren't, though would be if we saw how people came up with those ideas. Also, I was absolutely furious when I attended mathematical olympiad as a 10-year old and the problem formulation required familiarity with University math level language. You mathematicians are shooting yourself into feet.
I think you've misunderstood the point. The challenge is that someone else has written the code, and you are being asked to produce cases to feed it to test that it gets the answers right. You're not being asked to write the code, or factor the code, or write a function, or anything else like that.

So under those conditions, where the code has been written and it's your job to test it, what is your list of test cases?

Good context on why Forth didn't pan out can be found here:

http://yosefk.com/blog/my-history-with-forth-stack-machines....

I adore Forth and feel that it's in the small handful of languages / approaches to language that will permanently change a developer's understanding of the field. Perhaps if GreenArrays had succeeded well enough to make a few more generations of processor the landscape would be very different. Perhaps not.

Given today's architecture, the impedance mismatch between the stack paradigm and the register architecture costs Forth most of its advantage. Still, if there's another language that allows one to write an interactive assembler for a system with 8k of RAM, I've yet to hear of it.

The minimum investment in Forth, which I recommend to all thoughtful developers, is reading Programming a Problem Oriented Language by Chuck Moore, Forth's inventor.

The procedure I usually follow then tackling a new subject isn't a one-shot approach but an iterative process. The process consists of the following steps:

1. survey key topics that represent either basic aspects of the subject of interest that are required to understand it or have important practical uses

2. organize these key topics as a project by breaking them down into individual tasks based on interdependencies and key productivity goals (i.e., I want to be able to do something and add a skill to my technical tool belt)

3. compile a list of reading material that cover the key topics

4. while reading on each topic, write a monograph of sorts on the subject. The monograph is intended to help you track the progress, evaluate what I know and don't know, synthesize what you do know and refresh your memory (particularly useful if it's a medium/long-term project), and help understand where to guide the learning project to better reach milestones and mitigate potential shortcomings.

Step 1 and 2 are updated based on what I've covered in the monograph. The monograph is updated as I progress, and If I didn't added the monograph then it's as if I didn't covered the topic yet.

Stockholm native working as a dev for 5+ years here. I'll just add the only two things I see missing from previous posts:

You won't make any friends among the natives. We'll have a beer with you after work but don't expect anything serious. None of my friends have foreign friends. Can't really say why this happens though. We are pretty reserved.

Nightlife is not snobbish as somebody else said. There is the whole range from dive bars to upscale to any kind of nightclub you can think of. It's similar to most bigger western cities. Also, I've noticed the variety and quality of restaurants are outstanding in Stockholm when comparing to most places I've been.
The article essentially talks about producing something that is:

Yes but there are enough claims out there you need to get rid of false positives. And some stuff is testable. Intermittent fasting for example has rat studies backing up the claims to an extent - that it extends lifespan and other aspects of health. I haven't seen anything comparable for paleo diet (comparable experiments don't really exist). The theory is plausable, but I have yet to see evidence that its actually beneficial. For that reason I would be more interested a fasting diet rather than a paleo one.

None of the threats they mention involve encryption much, not in the sense of the FBI having access to the content. Ransomeware and phishing attacks, which are the high-cost items now, don't need that.

Anti-terrorism might, but US terrorism today is a family affair. Since 2010, almost all US terrorism attacks have been by individuals.
The Las Vegas shooting, Boston marathon bombing and the San Bernardino massacre were by family members. The Garland, TX shooting was three guys from Phoenix who lived together. In no case was any encrypted communication involved.
This is a pretty vacuous article, definitely recommend tl;dr this one (or a better headline by wisc.edu). They claim to outperform silicon, but there are basically no actual numbers for feature size, leakage current, voltage, switching speed, yield, or anything.

tl;dr: they developed a process that separates out the semiconducting nanotubes from the metalic ones, and coated a 1x1 inch area in 5 minutes. They achieved a current 1.9 times that of silicon. There were no specifics beyond that, including what kind of "current" this was or the technique used to create the transistors.
I agree, it's as if one would accuse the drug consumer of being responsible for Mexican drug cartels torturing and beheading innocent civilians which is part of their business strategy.

That is not to say that I approve of drug abuse, but everyone can only be held accountable for his own actions, not for the actions of others.

It would be something different if the Chinese government actively encouraged import of Rhino parts, but they don't allow this as far as I know.
It's more like everybody is forced to use C++ for everything. Would you rather write a distributed transactional system in C++/CORBA or in Java? How much time are you going to lose by choosing C++ and in debugging it comparing to Java? Or even substitute Assembly language for C++. (Disclaimer: I love C++, this is just an example)

We had a teletype machine at my school in 1980 connected to the local authority mainframe. There was nearly always a queue to type your own program but you could write it out on a sheet of paper (one character per box) and get a printout of somebody who had typed it in for you. When they made a mistake your program didn't run and you had to send it again the next week.

Interesting, I had not thought of the investment market. My statement still stands though as the article also states that Vietnam is the primary consumer (at 1/15 of the population and 1/80 the GDP of China). Presumeptly China could do more against it but that would probably be a more general strategy against organized crime than against poached rhino horn especially. And of course getting rid of loop holes like declaring ivory to come from siberian mammoths or before 1990 to make them legal. China is part of Cites and that it is enforced can be seen in Fig. 3 where the auctions drop dramatically in the last four years.

Ask HN: What is the name of this business model?
What is the name of a business model where company generates social good in order to market itself to the public while also selling the same product to private customers?

Think of GitHub - they become known as a free code repository for open source projects gaining fame among the software developers and subsequently selling the same product for money to closed source (private) companies.

It fits under the definition of a freemium model, but is there a more specific term for when the free part is valuable as a social good, not just a free limited version of the same product?

Strange that you claim we don't have data then proceed to make bold claims that Tesla isn't a luxury brand, with weak supporting arguments... or close to no supporting arguments at all upon second reading.

Tesla is trying to pivot towards mass market, this is well known. Whether they keep the luxury/sports line or push those into a new brand (or sub-brand) is the big question. But I don't think anyone questions whether or not the currently available Tesla cars fall into the luxury category. Both design and price suitable fall into that category.

Mercedes might have an older and long-term luxury brand that is associated with the wealthy, which is helpful, but not an absolutely critical barrier for a brand/product to be put into the luxury category.

As long as Rhino horn trade is not a mayor income source for the government then how much does it cost them to introduce harsh punishments for this?

China was also very poor when they started implementing policies to save the Panda bear. It's not that long ago that millions of Chinese starved to death, that's how poor they were back then.
The odd thing is that they are not using three:

public connectorsEnabled(enabled: boolean): this;
public connectorsEnabled(): boolean;
public connectorsEnabled(enabled?: boolean): any {
if (enabled == null) {
return this._connectorsEnabled;
}
this._connectorsEnabled = enabled;
return this;
}

In that way, typescript will use the most specific overload to do type checking, so you'll get an actual boolean when doing connectorsEnabled(); instead of any.
So how long until I can order them from Panda Express?
Apple's bluetooth has such a high failure rate on laptops, IMO, it simply doesn't work. After trying to get it to work in multiple locations with multiple laptops over multiple years, it's clear to me that Apple does not have the capability to deliver working bluetooth on its laptops (at least one that works with audio for longer than a few seconds at a time). Which makes the push that much more of an asshole move on their part. They've had years to come up with a fix for their bluetooth (and RF and WiFi) and have failed, yet now they're trying to push a technology they're not even competent in.

This is like buying blood testing kits from Theranos at this point. And that's before you start to get to the problems addressed in this article.
> One of my children described to me what our problem is in recruiting. She said, “Dad, the problem is you’re the man.” I thought that was a compliment, so I said, “Thank you, I really appreciate that.” She said, “Dad, I don’t mean that in a good way. I mean you’re the ‘Man.’ Who would want to work for the ‘Man’?” I think she’s right. But I said to her, “You know, if people saw what this ‘Man’ and ‘Woman’ of the FBI was like, and what we do, and the challenges we face, I think they’d want to come work for us.”

Given that even after his daughter explained the term to him, he still doesn't know that 'The' is part of the phrase, I'm not sure if The Director of the FBI knows what the phrase 'The Man' means...

Formally reasoning about Python programs is a huge pain. Why would anyone want to subject high-schoolers to that?

Okay, it was much shorter and sweeter than I expected. Well done.

> TLA+ comes with a model checker. You just press a button and if your assumptions are incorrect you get a counterexample.

What I want is proofs, not just truth values. A proof is a syntactic object that can be analyzed, partially reused, combined with other proofs, etc.

China is working on reducing consumption of endangered animal parts. It's a really tough battle especially since it's a deep-rooted cultural phenomenon. There are orgs like WildAid doing a lot of good work in educating the public.

It seems to me that be most bang-for-buck way the FBI could counter the cyber threat is to contribute security reviews and patches to popular open-source software. "Get paid full time to do security patches for Open Source" seems like a good recruiting call as well.
