No it's not. The timings represent a good proxy for how easy it is to pull off the (weaponised) exploit in the wild.

For example Flash, even when sandboxed, continues to be an extremely easy and lucrative attack vector (relatively speaking). Four seconds puts the exploit in drive-by territory.

A sixty second web exploit is not so useful for "cyber" criminals. But if you can "compromise all aspects of the phone including contacts, photos, messages, and phone calls" in 60 seconds, this is probably worth it.
I certainly don't claim to speak for all white male. However, pleading that white males are more discriminated against than women or majorities is making exactly the same kind of mistake of which you are erroneously accusing me. You are trying to cover up the flaw in your logic with an ad hominem attack.

I should clarify: the deck is massively stacked against a great number of people. White males are massively represented in that number. However, for many situations women and minorities face additional discrimination which you are, for some reason, unwilling or unable to acknowledge.

That's the effect of a (quasi) monopoly.

It's like a DC politician who's above the law - you have so much power that you can literally do what you want.

The solution? Stop using products of the biggest players and start looking for alternatives.
Alternative education is getting great results. I personally funded an alternative to college to train software engineers(Holberton School). We have no formal teachers, no lecture, students learn by practicing and collaborating with peers. We started 9 months ago but already got students at NASA, Dropbox, Docker and Apple.

Look at Andela as well, accelerated training, then teams of "students" are integrated into companies and they learn while working.

Finally, coding bootcamps have also their share of success stories.

There is honestly A LOT of broken, unless you are studying in an Ivy League, I really think the education far from what the current & next generation needs.
This is nonsense. UEFI has a fallback path and all common OSes can or do install a fallback bootloader which restores the NVRAM variables.
Coding bootcamps and training people for specific skills is something quite different from general education for children.
Yeah, that's why I recommend PCA. It works by finding groups of agreement. You can then classify people by how much they resemble each group and predict how they will react to a new thing by how their groups have reacted to it. One criticism is that using it can easily lead to constructing echo chambers, but that's exactly what you want for reviews. If you care about how a steak is cooked, here is how other people who care about how a steak is cooked review this restaurant.

three plus hours of self-directed learning time

Totally agree, a key here is that student should learn how to learn. There is all the knowledge that you need online, but the truth is that today there is too much information, something wrong, something not accurate. Students need to be able to find, analyze, sort, learn and apply the information they find. By reading the Internet or speaking with their peers or mentors (teachers).

As you said, teachers should be here to guide students, not to bring them a piece of knowledge they need to memorize and then spit out a few days later during the exam.
Fun fact about the first game : after 1.d4 Nf6, the World Champion played 2.Bg5, which is fairly rare at top level in classical time control, and pretty much unprecedented in world championships. Why is it fun? Because this opening is known as the Trompovsky, often nicknamed the "tromp". Magnus more or less admitted that it was a wink at the newly elected US president.
That is true :)

I was just illustrating an example of alternative education that works. As you said none are working.

One for children: altschool is doing very well. Khan academy is also a hit.
Bahmni has got good response from some developing countries. I didn't get your 'Little Results' jibe.
Yes, but it's pretty rare (I assume by data structure you mean like something out of an algorithms textbook, not the structs & classes that most programmers use all the time). I did a string trie for an autocompletion system once (and then found that binary search over a sorted array was faster, go figure), and a binary space partitioning tree for a game creation engine. Also stacks, queues, state machines, and augmented trees come up all the time, but they're not particularly difficult to implement.

I think that one very underrated skillset is the ability to implement a data structure or algorithm on top of an existing platform. For example, can you implement reservoir sampling and a state machine on top of SQL? If you can, there's a good chance your Hadoop analytics cluster can be replaced with a single DB instance and a work-queue system. Can you implement a graph algorithm on top of MapReduce? That's how Google's Pregel system got started. Can you implement a diff algorithm on top of the DOM? React. Three-way merge on S3? DropBox. Binpacking over Linux containers? Borg/Omega/Kubernetes.
Ha, I agree.

But with politics, it's all biased.

I'm not 'in fear' of being called 'racist', but I think it's important to know I have no stake in the game. Political bias is a strong thing.

Because 'saying the media is biased' is a trope that you might find over in Trumpland. Even though the are biased about it, they are effectively correct.
That sounds like a crappy job to be in, I'm sorry. I've worked around people who were... negative, and were really bad at explaining things to me, and also kind of hacky. It sucked and it drained my morale.

There are good places out there, _even_ if they're low-skilled environment. I think it's totally a cultural attitude, to be willing to take the time to learn, and to have a good attitude and effort about it. You can copy/paste from SO and still be using it as a learning tool.
moral/ethical reasons, having better things to do.
Words mean different things depending on the context. And analogy and hyperbole are valid tools for expressing ideas. Now "lynching" would definitely be a bad analogy and way too much hyperbole, but "mccarthyism" was appropriate to illustrate what I was trying to say. At the time people lost ability to be employed because of their political views. You seem to be calling for boycotting anyone who voted or supported Trump in this election because they are bigots. And that is a logical jump I cannot agree with as I tried to explain above. Clearly some people voted for him because maintaining status quo was less acceptable than getting over the things he said. I do think that we would have to get off the high horse of moral superiority and try to understand what happened if we want to avoid surprises like this in the future.
I believe Syria's President Assad would understand why Churchill stayed put in the capital. In the current Syria situation President Assad stays put with his family because if he was to move then that would show he has lost confidence in his armed forces and their ability to free the country from the terrorists/defend the capital.

Saddam Hussein was probably in the same boat when the same neo-cons/neo-liberals wanted regime change, Iraq was given the chance to hand him over but he chose to stay put.

Taking flight from the capital didn't work out for Gaddafi, sometimes the hardened bunker under the known palace is the only option. Moving is tantamount to resigning in a game of chess.
"They do though. Multicultural, global trade centers, high tech industry."

No they don't.

They represent a specific vision of the future.

There are many people living very high standards of living all around Bavaria, Stwitzerland, Netherlands, Scandinavia - that are not part of 'city centres, multiculturalism, or high tech'.

The future is whatever we want to make it.
Right. Downvote me because I react against someone who thinks that commenting about the election on a completely unrelated topic is appropriate. Good job, HN.

Sometimes at least one of the houses is in some rural area nobody wants to move to so there is basically no market for them. Common in the mountains.

Real case: the parents family houses are in the mountains, parents moved to city, children (adult now) live in another city. They'll eventually inherit the 3 houses and they won't use them. The city house can be sold or rented. The other ones, not a chance. If taxes on them would be too high (they aren't now) they could rather destroy those two houses. I don't think this is what we want.

There is always the way out of renouncing the heredity. Then you still get an empty house that nobody wants and nobody maintains.

Racism, sexism and homophobia are not issues the government need have a monopoly on. More good is done when attitudes are changed and hearts are won. I'm not sure the current approach of vilifying opponents will work. But most people have more compassion than they're given credit for. Engaging with people challenging false ideas and encouraging good ones can improve things. But in order for that to happen people from the differing views need to have contact and meaningful dialogue. I fear society is stratifying. Telling people they need to love people of other races, genders, sexual orientation and faiths while calling them nasty bigots sends mixed messages.

Plenty of things do better... if you have much more resources to spend.

The best is 1:1 or 1:few where the 1 is a world-class expert in the field of interest who also happens to be a world-class teacher. Something like a personal tutor/coach. Think Aristotle and Alexander.

This is basically how we train elite athletes, musicians, etc., and how some of the very wealthy provide training for their children. It’s very time-expensive though for the teacher, and doesn’t scale well because there aren’t that many world-class practitioner-teachers out there in any given subject.

Values are placed on people's lives all the time for insurance. I'm thinking for IP a flat tax may make most sense. It would incentivize letting go of at least some things. If it's $5 fewer things will go public than if it's $1000, for instance. It should probably be more to actually affect companies.
Strongly disagree.

We have a mathematical model of physics, which includes things like superpositions of wave-functions. We don't know how or even if they map on to reality, we but do have a habit of talking equating "states" with wave-functions. Then when describing superpositions, we end up with paradoxes like your first sentence.

This goes beyond Einsteinian "the physical world is not what you thought it was" thinking, and starts challenging logic itself. If QM really did challenge logic like that, then we would have to start rebuilding every other field of thought, including even mathematics.

I think it is more reasonable to see if some lateral thinking in QM can make the seeming paradoxes go away.

Nowhere I stated or implied otherwise.

This claim is trivial to disprove. Imagine there's no AV anymore (yet firewalls and HIPSes are still in place). Do you think overall security (measured, say, in damages $$$) won't change? There would be an immediate disaster.
> Furthermore, scalpers have nothing invested in the creation of the end-product, nor do they ever intend to use it, nor is there any value added to their super-inflated relist price, nor do they share in the business risk of bring the product to market.

They've added a lot of value for people who really wanted the console to the extent that they were willing to simply pay $600 for it. Those people can now buy the console rather than having to dick around with the limited supply and hope they were lucky. Trade creates wealth, just as if they'd e.g. imported a product to somewhere where it's not normally sold.

> The food vs. yacht analogy appears to dismiss reality. In a zero-sum game, the unit cost of a yacht commands a ballpark 6-8 orders of magnitude delta over food. As a society, we indirectly deny poor people yachts on the merit of economic sensibility, not because it's a social luxury; simply replace yacht with a scaleable luxury like cell phone or computer. The notion of an alternative "affordable yacht" is an oxymoron and subjectively exclusive to the wealthy.

We're talking about a videogame console here - and not even a value-for-money one, it's been a gimmick from the start.
It means they are not your allies anymore. They'll have to make deals with somebody else instead. How could this benefit the USA puzzles me.

China was the number one country in the world at the beginning of 1600, per population and economy, as usual. They also had an oceanic fleet travelling to India and possibly to Africa. Then they decided to concentrate on internal matters because they were the only ones important to preserve the government. They even burned the fleet.

That move played out very bad for them in a couple of centuries. The world is much faster now. My bet is that turning inwards, if it really happens, will play bad for the USA in two decades or less. They are laughing in Moscow and Beijing now. Any immediate commercial trouble will be repaid with interests by a more prominent international status. Even wars will pay off in the long run, especially if not fought at home. Check WW1 and WW2 for the USA, or any regional conflict after then.

Not by me, but the SQL interface is the bleeding edge of Solr. If the last time you looked was a month ago, look again. The feature set probably doubled since. And, for this, don't rely on documentation, it is not complete yet. Rather, check the Lucene Solr Revolution 2016 slides/videos and search Jira for SQL keyword. And if you have solid use cases, feel free to create a feature-request Jira or even help to test and/or develop it.

Surprise! When you publicly mock and scorn someone who was privately expressing fear that the person who will soon become the most powerful man in the world is about to use state-sanctioned violence to force you out of the country (to say nothing of the unrepudiated extrajudicial violence regularly dished out by his supporters), then you are in fact making people feel unsafe!

I think GNOME 3 is the best desktop environment out there. I didn't like it when it came out, but over the years I changed my mind. I feel very constrained whenever I use Windows or OS X for a short time.

For example, I don't think I ever clicked on Activities. You just hit the "Windows" key and type what you want. That is faster than any clicking.
At least for GNU/Linux, because it would be too easy given the current state of affairs as discussed this year's Linux Security Summit.

http://arstechnica.com/security/2016/09/linux-kernel-securit...

Given its use across the industry, and being written in C, GNU/Linux has become the target they used to joke about Windows since its existence.

For the BSDs, I imagine only OpenBSD would be an hard nut to crack given their focus on security. Then again, it isn't an OS that has much desktop visibility like the systems that are part of this competition.

I always get infuriated by custom UI components, because they are always poorly implemented for keyboard accessibility. Always. I have never met an exception. Seriously, is it that hard to copy the platform behaviour for keypresses, &c.? Sure, some of the details vary by platform, but it shouldn’t be difficult to get the vast majority of it right. Especially for Windows, given Fabric’s primary target.

Fabric is still no exception, though I find it better than the alternatives in almost everything.

(The menu bar component that seems to be used with Electron apps is extremely irritating in its keyboard handling: left and right arrow keys don’t let you switch between menus like they should.)
I was strongly in the camp which loved the cell-shaded graphics. It's a shame that the complainers "won" because it clearly limited Nintendo's creativity for later games.

Interesting idea. The Software Heritage project (https://www.softwareheritage.org/) has the goal of doing this for all software source code; perhaps they might be interested in extending that to binaries as well? That seems compatible with their goal of preservation.

> Why does Silicon Valley feel as though it must not take a position on this?

Twitter and Facebook already do take positions: they actively kick people and groups off their services. Literally happens every day.

Prior to kicking people off, they actively "shadow ban" unsavory elements of their user base to prevent their ideas/hate speech from spreading.

Twitter even does this kind of shadow banning on a per-tweet basis. For instance, I follow a journalist named Sharyl Attkisson (@SharylAttkisson). She would always retweet Trump and Clinton in pairs, but I almost never got the Trump retweets (which gave me the distinct impression she was pro-Clinton). I only found out about the per-tweet suppression Twitter employed when she started tweeting about it.

Twitter even goes so far as to put up big ass warnings now when you click on web links to content that violates Twitter's (progressive-friendly, anti-hate) terms of service! The one I saw most recently was for links to https://voxday.blogspot.com/, which is (apparently) some kind of white nationalist site. Presumably, some people who try and follow such a link in their feed will not actually read it, thinking it's some kind of malware site.

What more do you expect them to do? From my perspective, they're already doing a lot.

When making UWP apps with web tech, should Fabric be considered a successor for WinJS, a good technology to use? Sure, it’s designed for Office UI, but there’s rather a lot of overlap in it with Windows design guidelines.

Perhaps a variant of it? It’d be good if Microsoft made the situation clear.
