> The 'all or nothing' take on security is a very childish or naive point of view.

I disagree; indeed, I think the idea that cryptography and security can be flawed-but-useful is itself naïve. If something is breakable, it will be broken; that's why we need to be using the best possible security protocols and standards.

They've not been found, which means neither that they've never existed nor that they never will exist.

The speculation of the article is actually the opposite - that in the era of Bernie Sanders, when young people hear "socialism" and think of a functioning European welfare state rather than an oppressive European dictatorship, the connotations of large-scale government intervention have become a positive.
Maybe it's a sign of the times. Maybe it's a sign that I'm old and cynical. Maybe I'm just having a bad day. But what if the IZA is the kind of predictable, "9-11" scale event that "changes everything" - meaning lets the powers-that-be rewrite the rules of the game in a way that (further) empowers them and (further) disempowers the citizenry?

How surprised would we be to hear governments uniting in response to an IZA that the answer is a new, centrally controlled and managed "internet" - because terrorists, the economy, and think of the children?

It's ironic the author starts off saying they need to get more rigorous in their science and statistics. Then goes on to write a relatively short and not very rigorous overview of Bayesian statistics.

Statistics and probability are difficult subjects. They are also not intuitive subjects for many people.

Besides the publish or perish thing, I would guess many authors of these unreliable/non-replicable biomedicine papers were focused on biomedicine during grad school - while they learned statistics it was a secondary subject.

A solution seems to be more statistics training for academics doing studies or requiring a trained statistician on the team/reviewing a study prior to publication. I don't see either happening to be honest, and this problem will likely continue.
Can somebody get us an on disk, small, fast, in-process, low-footprint NoSQL DB? Thus far, I've been pressing SQLite into use for a lot of monotyped data that would have been better served by a NoSQL DB, but I couldn't find one suitable.

Apparently, in-memory DBs in now. They're fast and all, that's nice, but I'm still running on a machine with 8 Gigs of ram, and when the dataset starts to exceed that, I want an option other than "grab some more DDR3." I remember the fate of TinyMUD: on-disk operation must at least be an option for any DB I'd use for datasets of a non-fixed size.

The IRS frowns on employers who pay employees as contractors if they don't meet the criteria for being contractors. If the employer dictates where you work, how you work and when you work, you probably aren't an independent contractor under IRS regulations.

Thanks for the response. You raise an excellent point on the interdisciplinary nature of a lot of modern projects, and how ethical issues can often be ignored. While I don't doubt the team is using some kind of heuristic to ignore spam and the like, it still pays off to examine the methodology used because for example upvotes could still capture unwanted data.

LibreSignal was abandoned according to their github, first of all. Secondly, the issue is that OWS doesn't want "others" using the servers that they own and maintain for Signal.[1] As far as I understand, they disapprove of people using the name Signal or TextSecure or Redphone for their forks, due to confusion by users who believe that the fork is actually the app released by OWS. He doesn't explicitly say whether "LibreSignal" is okay, but would prefer for a namechange to reduce confusion.

Afaik, he also encourages people who don't like the GCM build in Signal to swap it out with the rewritten open source one and build with that.

It's pretty easy to hire somebody with a probationary period and terminate them if they don't work out. I currently work for a place with a unionized workforce and probationary periods, and have terminated several new employees for failing probation.

Any startup or other company who claims to need this mechanism is lying to you. Sounds like a scheme to save a few bucks and enable discriminatory behavior with no benefit to you.
#1: I don't believe the genders are the same in every way but genitals. There are lots of other physiological and psychological differences, so I've never bought the argument that every industry should have a perfect 50-50 representation. It wouldn't be surprising to me if there was some intrinsic advantage (either environmental or biological) women had over men as managers.

#2: In a system in which women are discriminated against, it takes extra grit for women to push through, get hired, and do the work anyway. These are women who really want it very badly. The cream of the crop. Therefore it's not surprising to see them perform better than their male peers on average.

#3: In a system in which women have historically been discriminated against, there will be lots of men with jobs they don't deserve. When women begin to enter the workforce in greater numbers, these men will be the first to lose their jobs to rising women.

I could go on. There are plenty of reasons why women might be getting promoted faster. One should not immediately jump to the conclusion that it's solely due to affirmative action quotas with no evidence to back that up. The world is more complex than that.

We all have different life experiences.

There is a low supply of female engineers, but rather than addressing the problem organizations implement various forms of affirmative action. Trying to fix discrimination with more discrimination.

My partner is in tech. My organization has a network to support women in their careers which my female coworkers view as outright anti-male discrimination.

Unfortunately, the bell curve doesn't support these policies. We have both worked with women who would have not held their position as men.

It's quite frustrating, as we now have capable women forging ahead while less competent women are riding the wave of feminism and tarnishing their reputations.

I'm personally hesitant to call Louis Kahn's Salk Institute Brutalist. I know many define Brutalism simply as buildings with large swaths of raw concrete, which probably qualifies 95% of modernist architecture. For me, I consider concrete oppressiveness, a certain level of heaviness, to be involved in Brutalism. The Salk Institute, in contrast, has lightness and openness.

My uncle passed away 2 years ago, and he was an erudite man, having read (and memorized) countless books. He never used any of his vast knowledge in his work, and his (nuclear) family "put up" with his penchant for reading and accumulating a vast library. He did not, to my knowledge, discuss science, philosophy, or religion with his wife or kids, all of whom are eminently practical people, dutifully hustling real-estate agents who don't read for pleasure.

We spoke at length while he was in the hospital, many times. He faced his death with serenity. His primary concern was for his wife's well-being, who he knew would miss him terribly.

All of his knowledge died with him, which I found troubling, but he did not.

I don't really think that particular law makes any more sense.

If an act is only a crime when used to prepare for a more serious crime, then the crime should be 'preparing <serious crime>' not the preparatory act. If an act can be shown to be preparation for a more serious act then the person should be punished for preparing the more serious crime (which usually has a maximal punishment equal to actually committing the crime), if there isn't enough evidence to show that the preparatory acts shouldn't be punishable either.

It really seems like a way to try to convict someone with shoddy evidence, or some roundabout way of trying to get around double jeopardy, or perhaps to criminalize intent, rather than acts.

The culture they share is certainly different from that of their home country. When do they get to call their culture "Western?" When white people say it's okay?

This is a great example of why taxes are so high in America. Instead of having one party be for lowering taxes and one for raising taxes, why not have both parties admit that we all want to make government more efficient with the money it does have?

Roads are surprisingly expensive to build and maintain, but sprawl requires more roads and it reduces the tax efficiency of the land. Here's a great article explaining how a classic main-street style road generates more property tax dollars than an equivalent sprawl street.

I've started to think that 'embedded' is an abstraction where the chunk of functionality looks like hardware rather than software.

What do you mean by "full analytics?" Is there something user hostile about having an aggregate count of the number of users you have on what platforms, so that you can develop and deploy software accordingly? About being able to receive crash reports when users choose to submit them so that you can fix their problems?
