New generation of ethical hackers aims to impress recruiters
Might not a full-blown bankruptcy. Rather, a slow march into irrelevancy.
> work on things that don't need doing, take too long

These are also traits of junior developers, who now get boosted into non-junior roles due to demand for developers.

Hiring cheaper juniors and trying to micro-manage them into intermediates... The same approach suffocates eventually when "unaccounted for" tech debt creeps in.

That said, there is also something to certain devs wanting to play with shiny tech (and build their cvs) rather than the best tools for the job. This, along with " cannot provide work-time estimates" point to the need for some senior role who can management overall project development, including goals, estimates, planning and tech stack choices; and this has to be a senior technical role, not a MBA-ed middle manager with a list of methodology-derived rules carved into stone tablets.
This sounds spookishly similar to the strategy adopted by Ola and Uber in India.
We need machine learning to learn about machine learning
But a company the size of Google can't just assume that there won't be anything wrong with operating in another country.

They need to spend time and money on lawyers which specialize in that country's laws to look over everything and make sure.

And that takes time and money, and you don't want to spend either of those when testing the waters on a new product.
I have a custom EMR launcher to get a cluster with Spark, Zeppelin and Hive. So yes, much faster for ad-hoc than tuning Postgres, basically it is a matter of if I need ad-hoc reporting/analysis or need it for normal operations. For 100 GB, regular, I'd just drop it into our running Redshift and let it eat it.
> Instead, he says "people discriminate against both gender and race" and only backs up the "discriminate against gender" argument.

First you (incorrectly) complain that the article is only about racial diversity. Now you're complaining because I haven't provided evidence to back up every part of my original comment.

I'll say again; I'm happy to get into racial diversity, but until we can clarify exactly why you want to dismiss the evidence I've shared on gender diversity I don't think it would be a productive use of my time.

Engage in a conversation. Share an opinion. If you just want to sit back and snipe, saying "you didn't back up that bit, show me studies" you can do it with someone else.
I'm 25, I finished my bachelor of laws last year (started in 2010) and I'm doing my master of laws atm (it's a 5 year programme where I live, bachelor is 3 years, master is 2). I've always wanted to do something in IT and lately Infosec has really started interesting me.

Last year I took up some programming classes (java) and I actually liked it, however I kept convincing myself that despite that, I was going to finish law school. Mainly to keep my job prospects open, maybe even get a management position in an IT firm faster that way. But honestly, aside from the pragmatic things that law teaches you, it sucks. It really does. Everyone I know either aspires to pick up notary or fiscal law, just so they could satisfy their own prospects of a well paid, highly regarded profession. It's a fairly depressing field to study and to work in.

I did a summer internship during summer vacation this year at a fairly prestigious firm. I hated that job, it consisted of looking up the latest jurisprudence about i.e. 'higher power', it made me read law books that were too boring to even want to comprehenend. I read an M&A template contract, which was interesting, but I couldn't imagine doing that for the rest of my life. All the lawyers there aged 27 and up were anything but living the dream. They worked their ass off from 8am to 10pm to bill enough hours per month just so they could keep their respective partners happy. The partners were well dressed, hardworking and very prestigious people. They were nice to be honest, they weren't assholes like you would expect. They actually made me, and the lawyers that worked there, aspire to become one of them. But then you hear the dark side of things. One of the partners had 2 kids she hardly saw, she actually had a babysitter/cleaning maid who took care of them all the time. Another one was divorced and spent his time harassing every hot secretary he met. Actually many of the male part ners thrived on exploiting their prestige to flirt with the fairer sex. Which I can't help but feel a bit jealous of, having such prestige must be awesome.

Except that's all it is really, prestige. It's the main reason people study law, to my knowledge.

As I'm writing this, I'm contemplating quitting my master's and enlisting in a bachelor of IT focused on cybersecurity. I'm aware that it won't give me the same prestige, or the nice suits (I really like suits), but maybe I'll stop feeling miserable.

Just wanted to give you guys a view from another perspective, law school and law in general aren't all they're cracked up to be. They're miserable places to study and work. Just google the words law and depression in the same sentence.
I use it for calling when abroad, and so far the audio quality has been quite good. I don't know if it was worse in the past, but maybe just give it another try?
10 Tips to Master Content Distribution
Odds of getting a good submission upvoted are very, very low relative to the odds of having a good comment upvoted (will almost always be seen). From an EV perspective, it is better.

But that is for 1 shell.
Walldorf at least is 15min from Heidelberg/Mannheim. Zuffenhausen is literally a district of Stuttgart. And Wolfsburg is a city of 120.000 people, and already VW has to pay a good "Wüstenzulage" (desert bonus) to get top talent, so they can afford taking the ICE (fast train), which takes an hour to/from Berlin.

Tesla is buying a relatively small company with just 700 people.

That's a drop in the ocean of automotive/manufacturing employees in Germany. The car companies have >750k employees and the suppliers another 300k employees.
Well, our light field display concept is fairly different from ML's in the manner in which we scan the light into the eye. We propose using very narrow collimated wavefronts instead of broad/potentially curved wavefronts. The system can still be used to support accomodation, potentially to a greater degree than is possible using layered DOE's (I don't know for sure) which we do not propose to use.

The resultant display has an inherently smaller exit pupil, but we'll layout a method to actively expand the exit pupil, enough to support typical maximum eye rotation range and minimum eye pupil dilation (~2mm) without vignetting the virtual image with natural eye movements. The benefit of this method is virtually unlimitted FOV.

Certainly still in development, but we think releasing what we've come up with thus far into the wild as FOSH and seeing what the crowd can bring to the design is a fun idea.

I'm currently working on a simple "Hello World" write up that will explain the device components, some basic plans for prototyping done to date and the development hurdles that still need to be overcome. I'm planning to use this to introduce the project. It's definitely not an easy project, but I don't see any component that can't be fabricated by a crafty homebrew engineer.

So... Innovator's Dilemma?
To be honest I learned from K&R but I guess it's too outdated and not really about "modern C". But of those resources one of them seemed quite fun and probably harmless ([0]) and the other one ([1]) pretty practical and "bad style" but error-free as far as I read through it, with the added benefit of teaching newbs that tools matter a lot and getting them pretty fast into using make, valgrind etc....

In your opinion, what would be:

1. the modern equivalent of K&R?

2. a solid reference to keep around and consult afterwards?

(with 1 and only 1 answer to the questions above, please, not a list, 'cause every time I search "learn c" I get over lists upon lists, of high quality comments - which is bad because you can't actually dismiss them as rubish, you actually have to read them -, that only throw you into paralysis by analysis, so you just say, "fuck it, just grab K&R or LCTHW, then grab a C open source project you feel like hacking on and start banging you head on it"...)
Wow, why didn't anyone think of that before?!

Show HN: Wise Reddit – Bask in the Glory of Infinite Knowledge
If both treatment and non-treatment could have dramatic consequences, I would agree with you. Criminal justice is a classic case of that.

In this case, such a tool can be used to flag behaviour automatically (Facebook does that, for instance) to start a process, i.e. have a conversation. “Depression” does not have hard-set limits, and caring about someone who had a bad day is not problematic, talking about how to deal with rejection is appropriate. Forcing them to take mind-altering substance is not ideal, but I can’t imagine any licensed doctor doing that just because some patient’s score is high, even if they do not qualify otherwise; they receive a decade of training to teach them nuance. As someone who lives with a psychiatrist, I can confirm: no one is skeptical of classification any more than the people doing the rating.

Having measuring tools (imperfect as they may be initially) is what allows science to try opposable theories, and psychiatry needs this (and plenty more tools).
I wouldn't call suicide really rare, it's the 10th most common cause of death in the US

I just got my first 650 yesterday. I was recommended away from the more expensive models because for a home as small as mine, the features didn't make sense for the price.

It's running right now, and with two dogs and a cat my floor is rarely ever this clean.
Its a double plus ungood badthink to point out that X% of the population watching TV show "Y" in the geographic boundaries of the USA are citizens of some other country, especial if they're the fraction that are here illegally.

Better to just call them people, which is factually correct, implies they should have equal treatment, and is somewhat more relevant WRT the commercial nature of TV unless you're trying to use TV commercials to sell something that would appeal to people based strongly on nation of citizenship like Mexico flags or immigration lawyer or language learning products or similar.
These are just Podesta's emails keep that in mind. We don't know how deep the rabit hole goes. And I have a eerie feeling it goes a lot deep.
I'm sure this is awesome. However if I were a f500 company using this (or in competition with one), I would be careful with what data I put into Google's cloud.

That's true, but this isn't one. This is what respectfully disagreeing looks like. Ad hominem would be "No, you're an idiot and people don't care what you think just because you disagree with choices they made". That would have been inappropriate.
Yes but then why would they ever offer such services without monetisation opportunities?
I don't need to grab a calculator to figure out what I have already witnessed.

I've come across several routers that stop working (partially or completely) or spontaneously reboot when there are too many active NAT sessions. At a few customers I've had to set session limits to prevent some devices from being unable to talk to the WAN.
Very comprehensive!

I've occasionally tried to clear up misunderstandings of this kind on https://electronics.stackexchange.com/ , they're a common stumbling point for beginners. Especially speed of electrons vs. speed of signals.
No. I reach for my 2015 MacBook Pro far often than my X250 due to the atrocious Thinkpad display (16:9, bad contrast and terrible back bleeding issues. The X260 model is even worse as it has PWM issues). Sure it has more ports, mate screen, better keyboard and upgradability, but my poor sight is done with bad screens.

I actually like the new Macbook Pro. The Thinkpad X1 Yoga OLED is a great contender, although I'll never drop that much money on a laptop.

I may switch once WSL is ready, but I will miss native UNIX and using its keybindings everywhere.

I read this frequently, but I'm still not sure how this is supposed to work - would you care to explain?
I think there's a limit to those negative emotions in as much as long we suppress them then we can't recover from their cause. Like for me, my gender dysphoria has been a life long issue which has been associated with my depression and anxiety issues. Specifically, the more I suppressed my dysphoria the more depressed I've gotten (even more anxious). Conversely, the more I tried to suppress the depression and/or anxiety the more my dysphoria made me feel worse. Basically, a feel back loop of suck. So the key to dealing with negative emotions is figuring out what's wrong and either learning to cope with the cause of them or resolve the cause altogether (sometimes both as with me since I'm not ready to come out).
As I understand it, there have been a few nation-scale Internet outages that have been a result of IPv4 address tables reaching their resource ceiling (not relating to NAT) - another example of how IPv4 is no longer fit for purpose regarding hardware resources.
I have no problem to get people to use it, the problem is to get people to keep using it.

For example some time ago when Signal was still called TextSecure, we converted all our group chats for a friend group of technically minded people to TextSecure. We all agreed that encryption is important and worth some minor discomforts. We switched back to Facebook (which we all dislike) within a month because TextSecure didn't have consistent message ordering in group chats, making some conversations impossible to understand for those unfortunate enough to receive messages in a bad order.
A first round google interview question I was asked: If you have a web page with two images on it, how many web request will need to be made to render the page? (Assume http 1.1)

I had to ask if he wanted the technically correct answer or the one I bet he (the google recruiter) was given by his engineers. Sadly his google engineers had given him the wrong answer.

I enjoy these lists that frequently pop up but I really wish for something better. Almost like a curriculum. I don't like that there are 20 different courses for X. Which one should I choose, in what order. Which ones have pre-requisite knowledge requirements, which ones don't. What programming languages does each one use? etc,etc,etc
What better way to learn a language better than by creating something using it - so I decided to make an app to quote the most 'intelligent' comments from our beloved site: Reddit.

Every company sunsets old products. Do you feel the same when Windows discontinued XP? When apple dropped support for safari on windows? When your favorite startup tool just closed up shop one day without much of any notice?

At least when google sunsets a tool, they almost always give a year+ of notice, the often provide alternatives, the always allow full data export, and they have been known to extend support for a product if there is a lot of pushback.

But with an extra layer to configure and for a vendor to properly implement, surely that also means it's an extra security liability?
On the other hand, I go to a grocery store not because it has potatoes and onions but because it has a couple niche items that are much less popular (but that are essential to me). This allows me to make one visit to one store.

I go to a grocery store that has my niche items, but I also buy popular items that are expected at every grocer.

(My grocery store has to have good tasting cheap milk, full fat large container fage yogurt, fresh & authentic croissants, lemongrass, red lentils, etc.)

If one store has a monopoly on full fat fage yogurt but doesn't have lemongrass, I'll make a compromise of going to the store with lemongrass and buying some other brand of yogurt from them. Making one store visit is important to me.

Yeah, don't worry too much about the lack of a formal education. I've worked with multiple people who didn't have that and were successful in the field.
Quite. But there's no need, nor excuse for NAT on IPv6.
You might have more luck here http://amasci.com/amateur/amfrmH.html#urls
They couldn't do that. The cab companies they work with would be worried they're going direct to driver, which is what Uber's doing.
> it's a useful security layer

No, it's not. As a sysadmin, you should know the difference between NAT and a stateful firewall, and that NAT alone doesn't prevent packets from being routed to local addresses.

> There's little reason that individual devices need globally routable IP addresses.

NAT has been more damaging to the development of network software than any other factor. NAT breaks the development of true network software, such that entire categories of software haven't even been considered.

NAT forces extremely complicated hacks[1] and centralized management of true peer to peer connections. The benefit of the internet has been that any peer has the capability to publish. NAT breaks that benefit, turning the internet back into cable TV, where most people need an imprimatur[2] to publish.

In fact, it isn't so hard that they would like you to believe - it just seems that way when they remove the best parts due to national security :D

You would have to go back to James Clerk Maxwell's original 20 equations to see what it's all about. Okey, quaternions are kind of hard, I'll admit to that, but all in all it makes much more sense.
The implication was there - that a point was made 'only' because of an os they didn't like. Its Ad-Hominem. It was pretty far from 'respectfully disagreeing'
I would love a roomba lawn mower, but with as often as my roomba runs over my feet while it's going through its cycle, it would need some serious sensors. And when I'm mowing, I inevitably have to pick up some sticks that fell from my tree, or sometimes trash that people threw onto my lawn as they drove by. It's a harder space than the living room, you can't control the outdoors quite as much.
Audio quality has been good enough for me, but there's definitely room for improvement as they're still using Speex (if I'm not mistaken).

When I first looked at this, it boggled my mind that they require a phone number to sign up. Maybe that's no longer the case? But assuming it is, it just struck me as the epitome of breaking away from the concept of secure anonymity.

Like QM, doing it analytically clears away misconceptions and gives a consistent view - but it isn't exactly something you can teach to children.

NYTimes never again. Fuck you.
I was hesitant to make a comment like that at first, but well, it is the truth.
One thing that struck me the other day was that HN disallows commenting on items older than 2 weeks. This pretty much rules out the use case for me. I have been on the receiving end of intriguing comments that arrived after 2 years.

I would ask for Diaspora support, but after seeing that the comments will go through comments.network's infrastructure, I guess I'd rather not add that dependency.

Nice idea though, if you are cool with limiting comments to 2 weeks. I know some people do like that.
Physician concerned about privacy with Contextmedia wallboard in exam room
Non-tech US physician here. Recently Contextmedia came through and installed some hardware in our clinic. Some exam rooms have a 32-inch touchscreen wallboard, and some have a ~10-inch tablet on a floor stand. Ostensibly these are for patient education. The wallboard has medical illustrations and animations available, for example. From a brief Google search, I see that their hardware is proprietary. It bothers me that the business model is not obvious. I expected to see direct-to-consumer ads to take advantage of a truly captive audience: Ask your doctor about Lipitor/acne cream/Gorillacillin, but I haven't seen anything like that, just one or two invitations to download an app. How can I be sure that this is not a surveillance device invading the sanctuary of the exam room? I don't see a camera lens, but there could easily be a microphone somewhere. Short of an ifixit teardown, I'm not sure how I could be reassured about this.
ETA: To clarify, these are connected to a secure wifi network set up by our IT guys.
