tl; dr.

Two distinct attacks, likely related, possibly coordinated took place. The first was observed in March 2014 and thought to be expelled in late May 2014.

Before that expulsion, a second attack began. While OPM thought it was in the clear, the 21.5M records were exfiltrated in July 2014. As late as August 2015, that same attack vector was used to steal fingerprint information as well.
There are some good arguments, but I think the post really boils down to "our community guidelines don't match Facebook's; here are good arguments why our guidelines are what they are; we really want to use Facebook; we think news sites (and only news sites) should have exemptions from the community guidelines."

Given the wide variety of news sites and media companies, I don't think Facebook will give blanket exemptions. But Facebook has been willing to make small changes to the guidelines ( e.g., breastfeeding), so perhaps we can look at this as an opening offer in a negotiation.

Same for me. It's also the nuttiest US presidential election I've ever witnessed.

According to HuffPost Pollster, Trump has an unfavorable rating of 58%, Clinton has an unfavorable rating of 56%.

With numbers like that, neither should be in the race, imo.

But, the only other two candidates either risk Clinton being elected and don't know what/where Aleppo is (Gary Johnson) or are wanted on trespassing and mischief charges and risk Trump getting elected (Jill Stein).

Use languages with simple syntax and it's a non issue. There is no need for both a while and do loop in an intro coding course.

For control: foreach, while, Switch, Function

Datatypes: List, enum, Strings, signed 64 bit int, 64 floating point.

Would need a small standard library with IO.

Yes, I avoided the 'if' because Switch works and get's people thinking in less binary terms. Same with skipping arrays.

It doesn't have to be as extreme as that.

If I think I did poorly on an interview, I will probably stop following up with the company and will more aggressively pursue other options. In particular, I might accept another offer prematurely because I assume one isn't forthcoming from the company.

As the post mentions, this relates heavily to timing. It's the long delays which many companies introduce that force candidates to make assumptions/prune early, especially since some companies will never even tell you you were rejected. Speeding up candidate responses is one of the easiest ways to dramatically improve a hiring process.

FWIW: Someone I know whom worked for DIA as a sysadmin about 10-15 years ago recalled multiple instances of TS/SCI folks being fired for surfing for porn over monitored networks... career- & clearance-ending. Maybe that's the only culturally-unacceptable sin in that community, apart from making the org/folks look bad?

So you are basically cynical about both Russia and the West. And the implication seems to be that there is no point in citizens in Russia or the West trying to make things better, because it is all hopeless. Have I got you right?
Exactly this. If I want people to be honest, I have to create a context in which they are rewarded for honesty. This is especially true if I am asking them to do me a favor by spending time to educate me.
Media has always been that. Why, during a military coup, is the first thing that is attacked are the TV stations? Control the message, control the culture.

It is fascinating to see the Internet (and in this case Facebook) displacing the multi-billion(trillion?) media estate. I remember the dot.com bubble where the media claimed that statements that the Internet would make them obsolete was crap. 20 years ahead of its time I guess.

The policy question is similar to the phone system one, is it in the people's best interest that their be a standard phone system? And if so, can you regulate it sufficiently to avoid abuses? Those were the questions surrounding the original Bell network in the US. What does a monopoly look like in the Internet world, and do we, can we, regulate it? Pretty important questions.
Using the measurement, "how likely are they to be hired" seems like it's precisely the problem. "How likely someone is to be hired" is a totally erratic and unpredictable property of a bureaucratic hiring process. It's exactly not the sort of thing you want to use to define an absolute notion of skill or performance in a job interview.
do you mean that in a good way or a bad way?

Damn right. This is one of the aspects of the Snowden leaks that was underplayed. The NSA seems to think that the best defense is a good offense, and maybe they have good reasons for that but from the outside it seems like they're just overly affected with wanting to feel 'l33t'.

I don't see your comment as an attack (criticizism is aok), but i do want to understand it.

Are you saying that i am simultaneously minimizing gender diversity in tech ("what about da menz") AND encouraging more folks to do so by being too blunt?

If you are (again, i'm not sure what you're saying), i'd say the first point is a wrong reading of my comments. The second point is a little better. I am being blunt, but that's just what the doctor ordered here.

EDIT (can't reply to your comment):

That is better, thank you for clarifying.

I had not thought about silence as the biggest problem for women in tech. I don't know the gender of the first poster i replied to, but maybe i should have made a point to engage with one of the female engineers in the thread.

Maybe it's a blind spot, something i have to keep an eye out for and be better at. Will be thinking about it for sure.

I still believe in my comments about some of these attitudes that are popular on HN. We should all talk about them.
I'm glad we sorted out that problem.
Good research. I was going by management LinkedIn profiles: http://wavecomp.com/company/
Sure, life is terrible. Sure, the patriarchal system we are embedded in is bad for everybody. But again, if you want to know what actual women actually experience, the right way to approach that isn't boldly stating your own answer. Try asking.
That reminds me that I dislike employment anti-discrimination laws too. I suggest a compromise to apply them only to things like manual labor where employees are commodities for example.
If you're disagreeing that you "need" to provide proof as a duty, then you're correct.

If you're disagreeing that you "need" to provide proof because your claim is substantiated intrinsically, then you're being pompous and lazy.
I gave a talk at Dropbox called "How to start a business without quitting your day job" that I think delivers a lot of the punch on this page without the weird culty vibe. Give it a watch (for free, obviously) if you like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8UwcyYT3z0
This is among the least important reasons to vote on the POTUS. Most SCOTUS cases are actually far more narrow in scope and impact than the ones you described. Aside from that, in this particular election there is no good reason to favor either major party candidate with respect to SCOTUS, if one's agenda is a progressive one. So the motivation to GOTV for them based on SCOTUS is isn't necessarily there.
"The other way" described in the article looks like this: government insured private mortgages depending on racial build of the neighborhood, with the best insurance available only to white-only ones, and none available to ones when black people lived, so the government artificially lowered costs for white people buying in white neighborhoods and created a huge cost (and disincentive) to allow any non-white people to enter those neighborhoods, however rich and financially stable by themselves they might be.

How exactly this is an example that proves necessity of government regulating private rentals?

What do you define as "training?"

Personally I don't think companies should be paying for specific training because as a developer you can learn anything you need online.

On the other hand, my experience is that many/most companies are willing to hire a senior developer even if they don't have experience with the company's specific stack. They rightly assume that any developer can pick up a new stack quickly enough.
> I’m constantly aware of being female. When a coworker looks to a junior male engineer on the team for help instead of me, a senior engineer.

This sounds like it could easily be confirmation bias. There is a long list of hypothetical reasons why this might be the case, including the desire to not bother a senior person - whose time is more valuable - by pestering them with questions that a junior person could answer.

If one is inclined to assume that this is a result of sexism, they are going to see imaginary sexism everywhere.

> Or when someone corrects my code in a way that shows their default assumption is that I don’t know something rather than that I made a mistake.

By some value systems, this would be the more generous assumption. If they were always assuming someone made a mistake (rather than simply being ignorant), one could equally well complain that this (the inverse assumption) was a result of sexism.
It's time to stop and think about where the cyber-Libertarian line of argument is taking us.

On the one side, AirBnB's rampant violation of lodging and zoning regulations should be disregarded because it's the will of the people, and because hotels are just abusing their government-granted monopoly on mini soaps and pay-per-view porn.

Now people are arguing that, because AirBnB is only serving as a matchmaking service for millions of individual homeowners, not only is it hard to prevent discrimination, but they shouldn't even try.

Assuming the free market works as it usually does, we are heading for a future where we replace millions of hotel beds that are guaranteed to serve everyone equally with millions of AirBnB beds hosted by proprietors free to discriminate against anybody and everybody. How is that progress?

Not really. They're training directly on the waveform, so the model can learn intonation. They just need to train on longer samples, and perhaps augment their linguistic representation with some extra discourse analysis.

A big problem with generating prosody has always been that our theories of it don't really provide a great prediction of people's behaviours. It's also very expensive to get people to do the prosody annotations accurately, using whatever given theory.

Predicting the raw audio directly cuts out this problem. The "theory" of prosody can be left latent, rather than specified explicitly.

Reading this was as satisfying as watching taken.
It's basically the Sieve of Eratosthenes[1] algorithm, and it's possible to do it with regular expressions because numbers here are represented in unary[2] number system, where number of characters/tokens equals the number itself. It's a common trick for testing various Turing-machine stuff.

VSCode – August 2016 (version 1.5)
I am saying that actions speak louder than words. I am saying men already talk to men plenty, even debate them in a meaty way. The biggest problem women have in STEM is the deafening silence that greets them at every turn.

I am saying if you really want progress, talking with women solves the problem of deafening silence in a very immediate way while setting an example to follow. Examples are generally more effective at fomenting positive social change than criticism of those claiming the problem is not real.

Is that clearer?

Thank you for replying.

Edit: I saw your update. Thanks.
I don't find the distinction you and Carlin make to be productive. Carlin is flat wrong that humans cannot impact that planet, though the question's still open if we can have positive impacts. In at least one case (ozone) we've avoided catastrophe.

The general question I've been focusing on is one of whether or not the Enlightenment and Technological experiments can be continued. If so, there's almost certainly a tremendous trade between standard of living and number of inhabitants possible. Reading I'm doing presently (Vaclav Smil, Energy in World History) suggests that energy requirements of about 2 tons of oil equivalent per person per year are required. I'm thinking that's going to have to come from entirely renewable sources. Those fluxes and conversions are distinctly limited.

Joel Cohen seems to be the author who's done the most detailed analyses of carrying capacity that I've run across (I've found multiple references to his work, I've yet to read it). E.g., http://science.sciencemag.org/content/269/5222/341.long

Talking down to people about their choices because you see it as a cop-out is a great way to reduce your replication factor.

If you think that it's useful to set an example, then fine. But if I honestly think that my example isn't going to change anybody else's mind, then it's not a "cop-out" to take a flight anyway because the marginal contribution to climate change is down in the noise.

For what it's worth, one of the things I did with my interview process was to make all the coding involve an actual computer. I gave the interviewee their choice of editor, and was happy to let them use their own computer.

My theory was that in an interview I wanted to see people at their best. I wasn't hiring them to code on whiteboards or learn how to use new text editors; I was hiring them to spend a lot of time coding in an environment they liked.

Tutorial: SQLite database and SQL
>> "My experience of kids is that they are greatly influenced by how their parents see their behavior."

Exactly, which is why it's very possible that the scammer behavior was learned from by the kid from their parents.

I actively engage people around me. I've tried the whole talking to parents way, and if you don't know them it's not uncommon for the response to be to mind your own business or worse, "Fuck you, I know how to raise my kids."

Beyond that, I've found that a number of parents with "good relationships" over estimate that the relationship is based on authority, not respect. This becomes obvious when the parent no longer has any authority over their children.
For some jobs, sure. But what I really think it suggests is a power asymmetry. A company can do without 1 worker much more easily than a worker can do without 1 job. Plus, current processes let hiring managers feel powerful. Given the high percentage of hiring managers who are social primates, I expect that's a big factor.

In tech, though, you hear endless complaints about how hard it is to hire, so I didn't hesitate to optimize the process for interviewee happiness. I expect it would make people more likely to apply, more likely to stay through the process, more likely to accept an offer, and more likely to refer friends.

Regardless, there's enormous waste to be removed from the process for anybody who's willing to put a little thought and work in.
> Talking down to people about their choices because you see it as a cop-out is a great way to reduce your replication factor.

You have a point, but if your mind has already been made up then what difference does it make how I see it?

> But if I honestly think that my example isn't going to change anybody else's mind, then it's not a "cop-out" to take a flight anyway because the marginal contribution to climate change is down in the noise.

You too are somebody, and if you can't convince yourself that your actions ultimately (especially when taken over a lifetime) add up to something tangible then I'm not sure what I could say to you that would change your mind.

But let's just for a moment assume that everybody thinks like you: that would be one world. And then let's imagine a world where people are more likely to think like me, that would be another world. My argument is that those worlds will materially differ and it is all those small decisions that made the difference.

It's a bit like war: if all the soldiers would refuse to fight the war would end, immediately. But as long as they all collectively believe that their action or inaction will not make a difference the war will go on.

Yes, we're part of a collective. But responsibility is carried by all of us, individually, and that responsibility can't be waved away by saying 'my actions make no difference'.
