1. When I say encrypted, I mean Email is missing end-to-end encryption. In other words, the two (or more) parties participating in the discussion. That a carrier encrypts messages in transit is a nice start. PGP is not a solution for the masses yet.

2. Anonymity hasn't been reconciled, but that doesn't mean it cannot be.

Nope, none at all. That's how law enforcement like it.
It helps to be right to win a lawsuit but before that you need enough money to defend yourself. I once had pfizer go after one of my domains and all it took was an inch thick cease and desist notice to convince me to hand it over. Surely their lawyers were better than anything I could afford and I think Snapchat fits into that category as well.

Résumé/CV: https://www.sjmulder.nl/files/sijmen-mulder-cv-hn2016.pdf

Email: ik+hn@sjmulder.nl

So far I’ve mostly been involved with iOS as well as web front- and back end, but I have very broad interests and will be more than happy to work on anything outside that sphere.

I don’t have a massive open source presence but that’s mostly because when I write code in my free time I tend to do try small idiotic programming feats like writing a working web application in x64 Linux assembly or a Win32 program that targets Windows 3.11 through 10 just to see if it can be done (it can!). Not useful, but fun.
What are the details that you mean? I just skimmed the spec and I don't see anything significant about exceptions or gc... it mostly seems focused on the WASM memory layout and the instruction set. The instruction set seems at least superficially similar to the java instruction set, and operates on a "linear memory" which could easily be implemented in java as a large array of int[] for 32 bit or long[] for 64 bit (although that scheme may need to be more complicated if it is to be shared across threads). Any instruction that doesn't have a direct analog in the jvm could be implemented as a static java method. Also WASM seems to use a static set of labels as branch targets rather than reading its instructions from the program memory (is that called harvard architecture?) which seems to suggest that you could translate WASM functions into java classes/functions to be loaded into the JVM.

In any case I don't have time to implement all of that but it seems like it could be any interesting way to run non-java libraries on the JVM

Clearly not, since that argument applies far more strongly to non-death penalty cases where there is far less scrutiny.

It's also clearly an argument intended for Other People who need pragmatic reasons for ending the death penalty. He is against it on purely ethical grounds, or in my opinion, because it makes him feel bad about himself.

Bounty programs are very noisy. I don't even have a bug bounty program, and have several messages from confused people in my inbox asking about one. The "bugs" they propose are not bugs in my programs---for example, one reports that data can be uploaded to a collaboration system, downloaded, and then executed in a user-provided interpreter---and that this interpreter may surprise the user with its behavior.

Any better ideas of how to structure a bounty to get bugs and not confused users?
I cannot take this idea that "innovation" will be stifled because people were told to actually give a shit about what they were doing. Honestly, if it means that fly by nite groups aren't releasing their "innovations" out there, I'd consider it a pretty good trade.
> The problem Alexander is trying to solve is:
> How can you distribute responsibility for design through all levels of a large hierarchy, while still maintaining consistency and harmony of overall design?

> The pattern language does not tell you how to design anything

> It helps you decide what should be designed

> You get to make up whatever patterns you think will lead to good designs

I'm not sure I completely agree with this. I agree Alexander was trying to establish a vocabulary for communicating common ideas, and I agree that his collection of patterns wasn't meant to be the one true canonical list of architecture patterns, but I do think a lot of his patterns do specifically tell you how to design things. Also much of what he wrote isn't specific to large construction projects with many stakeholders ("The Oregon Experiment", which I haven't read, is an account of the process of designing the University of Oregon campus. However, "A Pattern Language" would also be of use to a person designing their own house by themself.)

What makes A Pattern Language more interesting and intellectually honest than just a list of design rules is that he gives justifications for each pattern and tells you what problem they solve and why he believes them to be an optimal solution. Anyone else can come along and propose a better pattern that solves that problem (or a more general one) in a better way, or can provide some argument that the problem isn't really a problem in certain circumstances. There's no appeal to authority or tradition; patterns are judged solely on their merits (to the extent that we can understand what those are; architecture is strongly tied to psychology, which isn't entirely understood).

(I really wish that someone would write a book similar to A Pattern Language, but about music theory.)
Simply put, it's because apps like Prisma have demonstrated that there are 100's of millions of people that want this. So developers are following the market demand.
The Moral botnet doesn't have anything to do with the "security industry", largely because the vendors involved ignored each and every recommendation made by said industry since at least the 90's if not earlier.

The blame for this debacle falls squarely on the heads of the vendors who produced these trusting (if not downright gullible) devices in the first place.

You are completely right in your assumption. GEMA sole function is to collect royalties for songwriters -- not performing artists, just the writers -- and secondary right holders (like publishers) and distribute it to them. They are in fact a non-profit. Every penny they make, they have to distribute to their members (minus operating costs).

German people have a very interesting and uninformed bias against GEMA, which has been fueled by the laughable YT/GEMA dispute over the past years. It is easy to see why: GEMA provides absolutely no service to anyone outside of the few thousand songwriters they represent. YT provides a service to millions, for free, and GEMA disrupts that service. GEMA is slow, old and very, very unsexy. YT is here to make everyone and their mom happy. It's a tough sell.

This is a great question, and you're right - you may want to defer full-time remote work until you're most experienced. As a somewhat junior developer (don't take that the wrong way, I'm just talking about years-in-industry) one of the most important ways for you to get better is through osmosis with the more senior members of your team. A remote non-senior employee is less likely to witness, much less participate in, unscheduled design discussions or quick whiteboarding.
Saying something is theoretically possible with automated vulnerability scanners (which have incredibly high type 1 error due to out of date headers due to lazy programmers and misconfigured webservers) and showing that it's actually possible are completely different things. A whitehat proving he can get user access or MITMing data they created as a proof of concept is completely benign. I've yet to hear this as the source of a leak of customer data.

Ask HN: Where can I find a simple (open source) Rogue-like to modify?
I have a project and I want to learn to code. A friend would like me to learn Python (because his project is in Python and theoretically might provide support for my project), but I don't know any programming languages currently. So I am flexible on the language and open to suggestions. I do know a little HTML and CSS and someone once told me:

if you know html and css, then django might be where to start because a lot of django is basically generating html and css, and if you're already familiar with them, that can help a lot

It's basically an add-on for python that lets you use python to generate websites

I would like something to play with to get started that I can modify. Someone more knowledgeable about games than I am has suggested that a Rogue-like would be a good place to start for having built-in parameters of the types of stats I would like to track.

Thanks.

This is the same problem with Ipython notebooks as well. Lots of very segmented code that won't run as a block.

But in general you really should run it from the top from time to time and learn best practices for error handling and such.

What's your budget?
I'd completely agree that, at their core, design patterns are simply words or phrases that can loosely define what a program can do without getting as specific as even pseudocode.

I believe there is some element to aspiring to use them though. Once something becomes common enough to be called a design pattern that 2+ independent developers might recognize, that's the signal of a common problem that might have better solutions than the first couple you come up with in planning.

If a design pattern becomes really common, perhaps enough developers get together and add a feature to a language (or make a new one) to encompass what was once a common bit of spaghetti code.
Well, not lawyers directly. More through lack of cooperation (due to competitive mentality).

If there will always be crap out there, everyone's going to need an immune system. Long term, we can wish for a fancy adaptive one. In the short term, we probably just get an analogue to inflammation---something like the DDoS network scrubbing industry.

That doesn't try to stop IoT botnets; it just extracts rent for keeping some people safe from them.
VR/AR should be right in Apple's wheelhouse, they should be owning this:

* new and innovative but not perfected yet

* UI/UX oriented

* creative worker oriented

I'm hoping that their version of getting it right is just taking some time b/c it's not easy, but even so they could have made an intermediate step like SJ's ROKR phone that was a pre-cursor to the full-fledged iPhone [1]. At least equip MBP's and desktops with VR-capable hardware, before rolling out Apple's full-fledged integrated VR capabilities sometime later.

I'm a big advocate for philosophy to be taught much more among core liberal arts subjects like literature and history.

When the largest companies in the world have corporate mottos like "Don't be evil" and politics splits the country into parties incredulous how the other side can even think as they do, it's maybe time to teach a bit more philosophy in schools and a bit less Shakespeare (Will should stay, just make room).

The book looks interesting. But the author runs the risk of swinging too far and suggesting too broad a definition for philosophy from its current narrow, useless pedestal in academia.

If philosophy is best regarded as "a universal human activity with many distinct cultural inflections" what does that mean?

Look what happened to art, anything and everything from a Rembrandt painting exhibition to your local hippy spoken word poetry slam is an art event? Wha? Art has lost some of its potential when it becomes that overwhelmingly big and confusing.

Defining what philosophy is (and isn't) and what it offers, seems like a really difficult and important first step before you can sell it to others. It's not clear if the author does this.

Rightfully so. Anyone who argues signing without user override is necessary to achieve devices secure against external attackers is outright lying.
23) War is never justified.

Is arresting criminals justified? Is protecting yourself against criminals justified? Is keeping the justice system justified?

If you believe that the war is never justified then you lost it before it even started.

Yes, we should be disgusted by using the violence. Yet we should be ready and willing to use it when it is the only option left.

25) Only math you need ...

What about derivatives? Integrals? What about Fourier transform? Sorry, but I am not buying.

But I guess that it is a great advancement from believing that it is enough when you know how to count.

45) Nobody knows how World War I was started...

Sorry, but we have at least by now quite good understanding about how the things got escalated and what was the historical background for it. The war was escapable till the last minute. Just the people involved saw it more profitable to let it happen.
Is this parody?

> War is never justified.

> Ability is 99 parts skill, one part talent.

> The only math you need is: add/divide/multiply in your head. And basic probability and statistics and percentages.

I mean, if it makes you happy, keep telling yourself that.
I don't quite fit your profile, I actually have quite a lot of prior experience with machine learning, especially neural networks. However my availability is limited for various reasons that I don't want to post publicly.

If you are interested in talking please email me (address is in my profile).
Optimization problems -- the bread and butter of machine learning for years. DNNs are certainly more powerful than many earlier-generation systems, but it's a quantitative difference, not a qualitative one. A DNN may have more neurons, more synapses, and access to more data, but it's not doing anything genuinely new.

A lot of hopes seem (to me) to have been pinned on the notion that neural nets (as we currently understand them) are the one true algorithm. This notion seems to have been fueled by the significant success of DNNs for certain (highly specific) problems, and by a (shallow) analogy with the human brain. However, it's becoming increasingly clear that this is not the case -- that an artificial neural net is an artificial neural net, no matter how many GPUs you throw at it.
Especially considering that the SEC[0] directly posts in Who's Hiring threads.

10% Happier | Senior Developer | Boston, MA | ONSITE | Full Time

A clear, simple approach to meditation with a NY Times bestselling author and some of the most respected (and cool) meditation teachers on the planet. Launched last fall, 7 person core team, venture-backed, growing quickly. (Here’s the app: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/meditation-for-fidgety-skept... )

In a nutshell, we're looking for a senior developer who is:
* Excited help us accelerate our growth (we’ve already hit product/market fit and things are going fast, but there are big opportunities to make it go faster)
* Is interested in working on a high-visibility product (we’ve been in NYTimes, Good Morning America, and more) that has a big impact on people’s lives (see our reviews on the App Store)
* Is willing to work up and down the stack / doesn't want to get pigeon-holed on one project. Backend, iOS, analytics, (soon) Android, mobile/web, building a team, mentoring, refining development process, etc... You won't get bored.

The product (for now) is our iOS app. It’s built in Swift & ReactiveCocoa. Our web-back end is Ruby on Rails and Postgres, all living atop Heroku. If you’re interested in functional programming & clean, readable code, we think you’ll like what you see - but we’d prefer it if you helped us make it better still.

The interview process involves (i) a 30min call, (ii) a 2hr technical interview, and (iii) a 2hr culture interview (followed by reference checks and conversations to answer any questions you have).

Email me derek@ (10percenthappier.com) if you’re interested.
That coupon code shows a negative price for the lower level memberships, not sure if that means you will be paying us for it :)
