I really wish this topic got discussed more because there don't seem to be a lot of great options.

I personally use an OAuth 2 library using the "Resource Owner Password Credentials Grant" which is where you POST a username and password, and you get back a session token. OAuth 2 has a few other types of grant flows but they don't make as much sense for REST only APIs.

The downside of this password grant flow is that anyone can create a client to work against your API, and potentially they can steal passwords in a man-in-the-middle fashion. One way to prevent this is to give your "trusted clients" a secret token, and then verify that token before issuing a session.

However you can't hide a secret in browser-side JavaScript and even mobile apps can be be decompiled, so this isn't perfect either. Some devices provide a hardware enclave to store your secrets in, but most don't.

Another weakness is that if your SSL breaks, then you're essentially sending the passwords in clear text over the wire. Another commenter mentioned HMAC encryption of the password which might help. That this isn't recommended by oauth is concerning. It's not the best standard and password grant is its weakest form. [Edit: now that I think about it, HMAC requires having another shared secret between your API and your client. Storing secrets on the client is difficult, as discussed in the previous paragraph]

JWT seems new and not too widely used but worth looking into. It has its own downsides like some difficulty with revoking sessions from the server side, but there are workarounds for this.

I wish there was an industry standard answer that was secure and we could all be happy with but there doesn't seem to be much interest in the topic, going by how rarely it gets discussed. Best of luck!
I think the problem was that useful comments hadn't been added to it in a while, and most new comments were just spam of some sort or another.
FWIW this is fairly common legalese in Dutch employement law. It basically boils down to, if you want to do something on the side: 1. Just let us know. 2. Dont built something which competes with us.
At least when I worked there, stock was never in the "store room". The back was merely for stock that they hadn't got around to unpacking yet. The company was legendary for logistics in the 90s and early 2000s. Part of that came from having most stock in one of two states: In transit, or on the shelves. Stock in the back is a cost center.

Most stores do not operate this way, their Just In Time delivery system isn't up to the task. And so customers used to this inefficiency liked to ask you to check. They don't really want an explanation on JIT or walmarts inventory management so pretending to check was best for all involved.
That is scary, but not surprising.

Even if you gave someone without savings 600 bucks right now, chances are they'd turn around and buy a new iphone with it instead of saving it. And then you have all the people who are in a situation where they can't save if they wanted to, be it because of poor decisions or bad circumstances out of their control.

And honestly, even if you CAN save...I'm very lucky and quite privileged, and was looking at my 401k recently. It's doing quite well (yay!), but if I extrapolate to retirement, I'm not even close to what I'll need to have a comfy retirement. The majority of people are just flat out screwed.

How to solve this...who knows. Its a hard problem.

"Ahhhh! But we don't know that. Memetics is not genetics."

No, but it's a perfectly good starting point for a hypothesis. Memetics may not be genetics, just like how ducks might not be crows. But, like how ducks and crows are both birds, memetics and genetics are both means of conveying/replicating/mutating information.

"But what if I told you my smaller population sample was from a university and the larger one was from a prison."

What if you told me such a thing? Would you be implying that prisoners come up with fewer ideas than universities? From what do you derive such an implication?

"I suspect myself that intellectual diversity is orthogonal to the physical phenotype of diversity."

On paper, it is.

In practice, intellectual characteristics correlate strongly to educational background, which correlates strongly to socioeconomic class, which (at least here in the United States) correlates strongly to - you guessed it - physical phenotype. Some people break out of those correlations, but they're (last I checked) the exception, not the norm.

This is by no means anything inherent in those phenotypes, of course. You already know that. Rather, it's a systemic issue: one of social norms and preconceived notions. We can pretend that everyone's equal, but it ignores the core of the issue: that the segregation of viewpoints still exists, and thus still requires conscious effort to correct that segregation.

Intellectual diversity, in short, correlates with phenotypical diversity, since viewpoints correlate with phenotypes thanks in no small part to our world's rich xenophobic history.

"In my previous post in a different thread I wrote something related to this subject which is that Facebook (users) has a lot of genetic diversity in its population but it's a sterile wasteland."

I'd argue that has far less to do with the users than it does Facebook itself.

"Facebook and Twitter are tourists on the Internet, but 4chan, reddit and HN are like natives."

I don't blame you for believing that; it's natural to believe that we're somehow "special" because we happen to be chatting on some forum run by some venture capital firm. Never mind that even HN's users, let alone reddit's (and possibly 4chan's, but I don't really venture over there all too often), have no problem with posting links to Twitter posts for "karma", or that Medium (a favorite among HNers, so it seems) required logins using either Facebook or Twitter until only very recently.

The flow of thoughts between the "tourists" and the "natives" is very bidirectional in reality, and Facebook and Twitter (and Instagram and $DEITY-knows-what-else) might as well be natives at this point, too.
Ally pays 1% interest for their free online savings accounts. I wouldn't be surprised if other online banks are offering even more; haven't checked in a while. (Oddly, looking at Ally's CD offerings, some of the shorter-term ones are <1%...wonder what value those could possibly offer vs. their savings account.)

Somewhat tangentially, it always surprises me that people continue to use checking/savings accounts from banks like Chase, Wells Fargo, Bank of America, etc. when they pay terrible interest rates, don't reimburse ATM fees, and sometimes actually charge you for debit cards and/or paper checks. If it's the thought of not having access to real brick & mortar banks that scares you, Schwab is a great option (though they pay much less interest than the top online ones).
One possibility is as an extension of the untargeted analysis: run the analysis over different kinds of samples. The output for each sample is the list of major peaks (and intensities). Use this as the "image" to train a (shallow) network.

You might even get away without specifying pre-identified chemicals. Adding that list would only help.
You're forgetting to divide that sum by distances to these stars in square. Thermal equilibrium inside oven and in few light years outside of oven are two very different things.
This is great. If only Class 2 programmers could organize and pool their efforts. Nah, it would never work. :)
I would argue it's 3 large factors.

1. Scandal fatigue. People are tired of talking about Clinton's e-mails. Had this release been before the previous e-mail controversy it would have been picked up far more.

2. Sex - Sex sells. Sex scandals always blow up more than non-sex scandals. If Hillary Clinton has e-mails about banging interns it would be all over the major newspapers.

3. Sound bityness - There is a video where Trump says "Grab them by the pussy". There's nothing like this in the Clinton e-mails. There's no big damning quote they can throw up on headlines and get a billion clicks.
My thoughts too, people forget passwords a lot.

Well theres also message number possibility with twilio looks pretty cheap to do sms/voice verification. then you can get the mobile crowd too.

I shall try that; thanks for the pointer.

Jumper actually started out as SMS. It operated solely on SMS for about 2 months, but the unpredictable message delivery, high cost or messages (esp. images) and lack of access to user profiles made me switch.

Fair enough - but, given the fascination a lot of people have with owning their home (which I do not), you would also have to include any positive equity (which can be leveraged in a number of ways) in their property in this scenario.

I guess the question I would have is "What is the 10th/25th/Median percentile of net-liquidity" and "What is the expected downstream third-party income from Social Security/Pensions/etc..." expected. That paints a fuller picture of people's financial stability, and also identifies how important Social Security is to their wellbeing.
I think this is somewhat deceiving. I'm pretty most Americans have more than $1,000 in savings, maybe in their checking accounts, their stocks, etc.

Here and ready to help. Jscott@archive.org
The (baffling) explanation given is that Ward Cunningham has one computer, and serving the wiki from it made it slow for other work:

So why close? It gives me room to work. The continuous scraping bumps up
against my web throttling making all other web services useless. Even
shell is painfully slow.

The other work seems to be the conversion of the original wiki into a federated wiki. The page meanders through a confusing explanation which probably makes sense if you know the history of that particular project, but the ultimate result seems to be the same: "If you want to help. Learn some federated wiki."

So I guess another reason for closing the old wiki could be to take advantage of the news this generate to recruit people for this (new? old?) conversion effort.
> we should respect Ward Cunningham's choices in maintaining the site how he wants, in whatever way works for him

This is an unhealthy attitude and I'm continually surprised that people say things like this. Having respect for someone does not mean that they are above criticism. It doesn't mean silent obedience. You can respect someone and still say, "hey, this thing you're doing is a bad idea."
The library is really impressive. I wanted to do some feedback linearization of a system and started encoding the dynamics into Mathematica. I got about halfway done doing it on my own when I discovered there was a built in to do it for me.
Another poster asked this, but does this mean this group has less than $1000 in liquid assets, or less than $1000 in a "savings account"?

Also it would be helpful to see how this has changed over time.

No. "risqué" is also an adjective denoting that something involves risks (like "risky" in English) or that a statement is licentious, shocking (like "risqué" in English).

Of course tone is relevant. Tone is how one has a civil conversation with another person, even if they disagree.
People have been talking about automation for generations. Replace "robot" with "combine" or "steam engine" or "cotton gin" and you get the exact same talk.

In part the answer is that people actually do work less than they used to. Less child labor, longer retirement--even the idea of retirement is something new.

Seems like that paid family leave so many want would be a good way to lessen work.

Society has found ways to cope with efficiency before, and the result has always been that people wind up with a higher standard of living. There's no reason it will be different now.
There are no double entredre's in France because they never say anything that could mean two things or because, "double entendre" (double hear), literally doesn't make sense?

"The "scandal" of the Wiki papers, if you can call it that, is that it captured how at ease Clinton was talking to bankers and industrialists about the options for the organization of a global society. Even in transcript form, it's hard not to realize that the people in these rooms are all stakeholders in this vast historical transformation.

Left out of the discussion over the years have been people like Trump's voters, who coincidentally took the first hit along the way in the form of lowered middle-class wages and benefits. They were also never told that things they cared about, like their national identity as Americans, were to have diluted meaning in the more borderless future.

This is why the "basket of deplorables" comment rankled so badly. It's not like it was anywhere near as demeaning or vicious as any of 10,000 Trump insults. But it spoke to a factual disconnnect.

It isn't just that the likely next president feels alienated from people in places like Wilkes-Barre, so close to her ancestral home. It's that, plus the fact that she feels comfortable admitting this to the likes of Goldman's Lloyd Blankfein, to whom she complained about the "bias against people who have led successful and/or complicated lives."
All of which is interesting, and maybe a problem we Americans can have a sober discussion about once we finish bayoneting each other over "pussy" or Miss Universe's weight or the Central Park Five (only Trump could go back in time and revictimize the survivors of one of the most infamous law-enforcement mistakes of all time), or whatever other lunacies we'll be culture-warring over in the last weeks of this mercifully soon-to-end campaign."

"These are the rules of the Campaign Reality Show as it has evolved over the years. The program is designed to reduce political thought to a simple binary choice and force more than 100 million adults to commit to one or the other. Like every TV contest, it discourages subtlety, reflection and reconciliation, and encourages belligerence, action and conflict.

Trump was the ultimate contestant in this show. It's no accident that his first debate with Hillary Clinton turned into the Ali-Frazier of political events, with a breathtaking 84 million people tuning in, making it the most watched political program in American history.
Anyone who takes a close-enough look at how we run elections in this country will conclude that the process is designed to be regressive. It distracts us with trivialities and drives us apart during two years of furious arguments. It's a divide-and-conquer mechanism that keeps us from communicating with one another, and prevents us from examining the broader, systemic problems we all face together.

In the good old days, when elections were merely stupid and not also violent and terrifying, we argued over which candidate we'd rather have a beer with, instead of wondering why both parties were getting hundreds of millions of dollars from the same people."
It seems like only new accounts using Tor are hellbanned. If an account has sufficient karma or age or some combination of both, then it is not.
I've read all of 3/10 books on the first list "everyone reads", and 3/5 on the "no one reads" list.

Most of the books on the first list were published after veterans already learned the relevant materials -- the author must be under 30 (so under 25 at the time).

Certainly a weird sample among popular books, the author thinks everyone reads the same arbitrary subset of books he had.
Thanks for that retirement savings link; been looking for that data.

Yeah, forget the saving account. Retirement is going to be the real issue. Lot of people going to be eating dog food in the future.

Pensions for anyone under 45 are pretty much non existent, with a few exceptions. Even if they are, the companies tend to screw with them. Our company just froze the salary for pension calculations (not that I have one), so somebody could work another 20 years and retire at a percentage of today's pay.

At least I get a crappy annuity and 401k matching. New hires now get neither.

Er, could you explain why? The Wikipedia articles you link to seem to very much make the case in the opposite direction... There doesn't seem to be anything damning in the Ally entry. Especially compared with the Wells Fargo entry, which includes a detailed 14 point list of "Controversies" (including the recent scandal and CEO resignation which should be fresh on everyone's minds).
One typical strategy for spam detection is to convert text to a "bag of words" representation[0]. If you take this bag of words representation and hash all the values, then rather than training words like ED, you are training on word number 19213123. The number of these hashed values is smaller than the number of words, just like a hash table, and this generally doesn't harm the accuracy of the machine learning. When you receive feedback on the classification (from people reporting spam or people marking things as not spam), you just turn the reported email into a bag of hashed words and feed that change into your model.

Because the order of the entries in the bag of words is arbitrary, and the words have been hashed, it is impossible to go back from a bag of words representation to the original email. I don't know if this is what google does, but it is pretty normal to do so.

I ported vanadium and syncbase to iOS. Happy to answer questions. Yes indeed this is a google project but is now being taken on by its original lead, and former head of search infrastructure, now at Grail bio.
I'm merely pointing out that "all neural everything" is not always the best approach despite joint training being very appealing.
Common wisdom is that for most STEM and professional graduate degrees, the best undergraduate preparation is a math degree and a minor in the related field. If you do a major in any science or social science, have the time is wasted on tiptoeing around the math the prof is afraid you can't handle.

Exceptions: lab/field work aren't covered by math class (do these as your minor and senior year) , and theoretical physics/chem do the math -- but you are better off doing a year of math and a year of accelerated whatever, than doing intro whatever and then advanced whatever.
8 PEOPLE WHO DIED IN EXTREME HOARDING CONDITIONS
I have $0 in checking, $30 in Paypal, maybe $10 in bitcoin, no house, car, almost 0 furniture. No assets. I have been working for mainly startups (including my own for no pay part of that time) or small companies for the last several years.

The reason there is no savings is because there is never any extra in recent years. There have always been things I went without, like insurance or more recently a car. Or eating out hardly ever.

Nothing else does what vanadium does, especially at its sophistication level. I don't know if I'd use it in production yet unless you are willing to put in some engineering resources, but you're unlikely to find something else as well made elsewhere. This is the product of a very elite team... which means it's also very complicated to use.
