Apps like Apple Music do better with the maximum number of subscribers. Why close off your business to 80% of potential users.

Though as someone who has business apps on the AppStore and the PlayStore, the AppStore generates a LOT more business for us.
1) I am talking about the Macbook PRO 15", not the Macbook Facebook & Office.

2) Neither of these connectors are antiquated. Or do you mean to say that all of Apple's product line up except the iPhone 7 is antiquated?

They are widely used and very good at what they do.

I'm currently searching for a new laptop and the X1 Carbon is my frontrunner at the moment.

Did you go with the 1080p or 1440p screen? I've never had a laptop with a very good screen (have a nice monitor for my desktop though) and I'm not sure how well higher resolutions will translate to a smaller screen size.

Your experiences would be a great help to me!
Lifeforms have profoundly changed the Earth before, and will quite likely do so again.

Meantime, what humans are doing -- not generally maliciously -- to the planet and biosphere has quite profound effects on what sort of life future humans might be able to live. Looking simply at terrestrial vertebrate biomass gives some indication of this (there are many, many other measures): https://m.facebook.com/notes/paul-chefurka/more-thoughts-on-...

And it's quite likely that some form of disease will play a large role in reversing this situation.

> which is fine, but the fictional premise seems unneeded and disrespectful

I don't see how taking the effort to write a more compelling story is 'disrespectful' to the reader.

This sort of lie doesn't hurt the reader; this isn't the news, and the writer hasn't distorted any of the technical facts.
An interesting idea, but don't the "map" and "flatMap" functions provide similar functionality?
Language allows us to communicate abstractions, which are then of course subject to interpretation. This is much better than other animals, which lack language facilities as far as we can tell. The entirety of human knowledge cannot be passed, but enough information is communicated that we can rebuild much of it in every generation.
Just so sad that Vertica is proprietary so we can't see how they did it! ;)

On a serious note: Please check out EventQL [0] some time. It's very similar to Vertica in some ways and completely open-source. It's a new project (beta) and not nearly as mature as vertica yet though (still a long way to go).

It feels like people react to him the way they do Al Capone or Jordan Belfort. Obviously he's a jerk, it looks like he was probably eyeballs deep in securities fraud, but it's so audacious and disconnected from real life that it's like watching a scumbag in a movie.

Probably we're all better off with the law coming down on him, but that doesn't preclude a day-to-day fascination.

It'll be interesting to see what Dropbox does in response to this. Box has always been the "business" solution, but partnering up with Google positions Box better to build on this. I feel like this is really bad news for Dropbox who has been trying to get into the business market, but are clearly failing.

Wonder if they're going to somehow get the FAA to change their opinion on bluetooth/airplane mode.
My only issue is that quality is trashed. The L and R airpods get out of sync. There is no solution for that yet on wifi let alone bluetooth. They basically trash quality for little convenience so you end-up paying more for worse quality. It may be fine for phone calls (using one airpod only) but for music is just stupid.
The future of audio is wireless but I doubt it's a pair of bluetooth earphones.

Programming machines. Recently a factory robot crushed a woman against a wall when she entered its work space. A closed casket funeral. If there is a need to program a machine, who is responsible if there is a safety issue involved? or even identifying there is one? The factory worker only trained to program? The supervisor, with infamous pressure to get and keep production running?... BTW, according to CBS, State regulators suggested a $7000 fine(!!!), and said a lockout device could have stopped it.
So far it seems this is anecdotal and not universal, since others have not had the same issues on the same types of connections using the same providers.

The claim in the headline is a big claim to make whenever only anecdotal evidence is present.

> I am beginning to feel like he has his own political agenda

This is the position of some of the people/groups he's embarrassed. As if to say "Yes, I've been caught, but the person who helped catch me has it out for me, let's just ignore this".

Also, as the US Army intelligence service underscored a few years ago, Wikileaks is ripe for propaganda use, since information can be provided to WL to suit political goals, and with some information removed to create a specific impression.

The US Army Intelligence analysis also suggested that an effective strategy to harm WL would be to leak materials that would reflect poorly on it and and cause people to question Assange's motives. No doubt all powerful entities (governments, people) realize this. WL has many enemies and so likely many are using both of these strategies as situations permit.

Have you read the details of the rape accusations? Sweden has a particular definition of rape that is far more encompassing of conduct that in most jurisdictions constitutes fully consensual activity. Since the claims against Assange would be considered claims of consensual sex in the US, it's hard for me to take them entirely seriously, yet the label of "Rapist" persists. This phenomenon is truly bizarre.

The question to ask is, what qualities do we most hope something like Wikileaks has, so that it can aid the process of truth, transparency, and careful investigative journalism. I'd suggest the following:

- Strong willingness to work with mainstream news outlets to create high production quality investigative journalism (Assange has done all he possibly could).

- Resilience to meddling by the many enemies one makes (Assange has done well with this).

- Reinforcing the strength and bias-free nature of the institution (Assange has made clear that he finds Trump and Hillary both despicable, yet this comment is ignored by many such as yourself).

You are right to question this. His comment parrots the opinion of the HRC campaign which there is zero evidence for.

All of my models are 'data-driven' in that they are computed directly from the visit & event data. I don't currently have models that change based on the data, but I could easily add them if you're interested in helping me define how they work.

I find one of the big problems with GA is that it doesn't show you the actual people that are included in the final attributed credit per channel/campaign, does it? Without this, it's quite a leap of faith.

I'd love to chat with you about your current practices; I still think there's still tons of room for improvement past the current models. For example, I'm experimenting with a model that gives credit to pages in addition to traffic source to help justify the cost of content production / optimization of which content is working and which is not.

Google acquires Apigee for $625M
True, Wikileaks has become politicized recently. I like to check the comment section on NYTimes and other news sites around election times. They always seem to be far more partisan than usual. Almost like people are whipped up into a frenzy supporting their sports franchise to the point it almost seems fake.

Considering there are hundreds of millions of dollars going into either side of the campaign I'd question the source of any online comment taking a highly partisan position that perfectly fits into party lines. Could be either direct 50-cent armies [1] style astroturfing or regular people influenced by other comments fed elsewhere online, or worse, articles fed to reputable news sites.

Even GCHQ docs from the Snowden leaks showed that five eyes have been successfully experimenting with controlling online conversations since at least 2012. So it's definitely doable with a dedicated team.

This is modern PR. Another thing that sites like HN/reddit increasingly have to contend with to keep content authentic and quality...

Brute forcing tools (eg. Hashcat) can take lists of words, mangle them to simulate typos, concatenate them a few times. That's how the first password is constructed (mighty, dutchman). There is really not that many combinations to try: take the most common 2^13 English words, add 4 variations of each word to simulate 4 different typos (2^15 words), test all possible pairs of words (2^30 pairs), repeat each pair up to 4 times, and that's a total of only 2^32 candidate passwords, which takes 1-2 seconds to brute force with hashcat on a GPU rig.

The 2nd password seems to come from a long dictionary: "a lap dance..." is the exact title of a song with no spaces and all in lowercase. It's good practice when brute forcing to take the titles of all known books, movies, songs... and put them in your dictionary.

The 3rd password also seems to come from a dictionary, typically built by scraping a few million web pages and taking literally all strings separated by whitespace.
If they had a list of usernames it shouldn't have been too hard. Most of the stuff on here is repeated usernames. The one in the middle is a song title with no spaces -- Bloodhound Gang, Hooray For Boobies
At the risk of coming over as flippant and rude, don't buy the phone if it's that much of a problem. There is no reason you have to have an iPhone, there is no right/law that says Apple must maintain an old standard if they don't want to.

Also, I'm sure Belkin/Anker will be making a little splitter that enables you to plug 3.5mm headphones and a lighting cable in at the same time. Many lighting docks already have 3.5mm jack socket in them for this purpose since when the phone is in the dock you can't plug headphones in.

Excel uses multiple cores for calculations. You can configure how many to prevent it sucking up the entire CPU for long calculations.

It's a pretty easily parallelizable problem since the sheet is just a dependency tree with the cells as nodes.

The build-in functions (e.g. probability distributions etc.) could also be multi-threaded, although I'm not sure if they are. Our external API called from cells was written in C++ and already multi-threaded.

I have a couple of them. I've loved playing around with them. I'm currently using one as a controller for a camera system at my house.
I remember the 90s, when it seemed like every time a CEO announced a big layoff, their company's stock price would jump. It struck me at the time as being fetishistic - it didn't seem based in the reality of the company's situation, it was just a way to demonstrate a machismo that everyone had decided was a sign of good leadership. It was when the term "right-sizing" was coined, and Al "Chainsaw" Dunlap was the model CEO.

It felt like it was a breaking of a social contract: that a company would use their coffers rather than payroll cuts to ride out bad times, and you stuck around for at least 5 to 10 years, maybe your whole career. Then it became clear that they were more than happy to lay you off if it gained the company even a small temporary advantage.

Fast forward to now, when it's understood that if you stay somewhere more than 2 years, you're harming your earning potential. And at the same time companies complain that by the time they train someone up, they're out the door.

Well, you reap what you sow. I clearly remember that employers were the first ones to drop their side of the deal.

If you're used to 800, 500 is a pretty huge drop.

My intake to maintain weight is about 2600kcal/day as a lightly-moderately active person. I normally do a breakfast of about 400-500 calories, and then 900-1000 for lunch and dinner. So if I weren't just waking up, 500-600 would be very small for me.
Great illustration of the pervasiveness in personal data collection that IoT will bring to our future. Check out ProjectVRM from Harvard https://cyber.harvard.edu/projectvrm/Main_Page. Vendor Relationship Management is a concept focused on empowering users in their relationship with service providers. The basic idea being that services (supply side) are in control of the relationship in Web and IoT services today, but historically, control shifts over time to users (demand side).

"You agreed to let us do this. We gave you notice of our privacy practices, and you consented."

The EU regards privacy as a right and the recently passed General Data Protection Rule (GDPR) enforces this right for EU citizens worldwide. US companies are slow to realize this and there will be a flood of litigation from Europe against US companies that service EU citizens when this law takes effect in 2018. GDPR implements many of the concepts of VRM and has the stated objective of putting users in charge of their widely-defined personal information. Consent has to be explicit and opt-in prior to collection, so IoT companies would have to make sure that they either differentiated EU citizens and required consent prior to capture or implement standardized policies that respect GDPR across the board.

My thinking is that the disruptive companies of tomorrow will have user trust and personal data collection transparency as a key differentiator. The problem is that the technology to enable this easily isn't there yet. Privacy and personal data management are complex and remain the domain of health companies subject to HIPAA and European privacy wonks. My team is working on a platform to bring easy and transparent personal data management (including consent) to all services that collect personal information. Check it out - www.carbn.io
Do Motorola and LeEco plan to omit the headphone jack on all new phones?
In google spreadsheets I can do something like:

I have not had that experience. However i will state thaT what really augmented my searching within gmail (both from desktop and mobile) is using the search operators.

I think this is a very real concern. Considering how stupid the average comment is on a site like that, and considering how most comments simply parrot talking points from other parties, it's likely straightforward to create astroturfing bots.
NXDOMAIN can be a temporary error. The SMTP queuing protocol is designed to be resilient against DNS failures, internet outages, routing problems, and temporary mail delivery issues.
On a 2012 laptop with john 1.8:

• 24 million tries/second for unsalted MD5

• 18 million tries/second for unsalted SHA1

• 80,000 tries/second for crypt-md5 (state of the art… in 1995)

• 2400 tries/second for bcrypt (already becoming obsolete in 2012)

• And a tremendous 100 tries/second for scrypt (then state of the art)

So yeah, the ~30% performance hit roughly fits. But even md5 can be used much more intelligently than just salting, and would have been available in major programming languages.
Ah, interesting. Tbh I rarely used spreadsheet capabilities and I usually used ob-ipython to load table to pandas in python and after manipulation write it back to org. I mostly use org tables for occasional manual data manipulation.

One problem with excel is that temporary steps you went through are hidden - it's hard to reproduce the excel spreadsheet. With org mode + ipython workflow I can trace all transformations that led to the end table, but hide them when they are not relevant.

I believe this gets me the best of both worlds - some form of WYSIWYG tables like excel + IDE-like programming environment in python and version control. Excel obviously lacks proper programming tools. Jupyter notebook does not treat printed tables in a special way org does.

I wrote once a too long blog post about my org-mode data analysis workflow, part about pandas integration: https://kozikow.com/2016/05/21/very-powerful-data-analysis-e... .

What do you tend to use instead of org spreadsheet?

Then the 1000x engineer explains:

"You are confused because you do not understand Tao. Only a fool expects rational behavior from his fellow humans. Why do you expect it from a machine that humans have constructed? Computers simulate determinism; only Tao is perfect.

The rules of programming are transitory; only Tao is eternal. Therefore, you must contemplate Tao before you receive Enlightenment."

"But how will I know when I have received Enlightenment?" asks the 100x engineer.

"Your program will run correctly," replies the 1000x engineer.
