I won't even buy an AP unless it has a DD-WRT/OpenWRT/Tomato image. I've had way too much pain with whatever shit the vendor crapped into the box before they shoved it out the door.
Thanks for the encouragement! I'm utterly enamored with the idea of stateless functional components or whatever the fancy word is for them. Will be trying this on a 'real world' problem next week, when I introduce react to our angular codebase :D
I personally am less worried about individual voter fraud, and more worried about fraud at the county level. Perhaps in a small county with fewer safeguards, someone could throw out 10% of the paper ballots. Or the voting machines could have errors that discard votes. It'd be nice to see something that can be end-to-end validated.

In Oregon, we do vote-by-mail. You have to register ahead of time, and you can receive an email when your ballot is sent and when it is received. That seems like enough to protect against people dropping ballots. Invalid ballots are different, but it might be rare if what you're saying is correct. I don't trust any other states, but Oregon at least seems to be run fairly well.

Ultimately, it's up to the citizens of each state to decide how stringent they want their state to be.

Developers will rarely make more than 1500-2000€ per month, but this is, unfortunately, considered a lot of money there.

So while in San Francisco one expects to make 100-120K, expect to make 20-24K in Portugal.

The good news is that you can live comfortably with 2000€ per month, as food and housing are very cheap.

Embarcadero has Borland Turbo C 2.01 and 3 versions of Turbo Pascal available for download from their site (on their "Antique Software" page), along with Turbo C++ 1.01 if you have a license to some of their more modern software.

Disassembling DOS games has been my introduction to reverse engineering, over the last couple of years. Specifically, Ultima Underworld. The game itself is complex, and a lot of the file formats are already documented, so I'm not jumping into the deep end unaided.

Fun fact: The original Lemmings game is actually encrypted. The first thing it does when loading is decrypt chunks of itself at a time, sometimes copying chunks of code to different places, then jumping into those chunks.

> This sounds like a good way to irritate people.

Definitely, and it seems like an evil version of this is already happening in my Facebook news feed. Occasionally there are some interesting looking articles (non-spammy headline, interesting story blurb), but when I click through to the "article" it's just the story blurb I already read, except it's buried in a sea of shitty, irrelevant ads and popovers that ask me to subscribe to something.
That's a legit use for it, sure. But when a non-techie sees something like this, they immediately think of all the hassle they can save a customer that is having trouble making valid JSON. "We'll just parse it for them!" They completely ignore that it's not possible to know for sure what the customer really wanted, and it's the start of a lot of headaches.

I heard about Ariely's research a few years ago and found it very exciting at the time. Now I find it unsettling. I can't help but think that an employer may gain insights from this research in order to undercompensate workers and exploit their psychology. The idea that employers already attempt to cultivate an atmosphere of family at work is deeply troubling.

This is a good example of what not to do as a data scientist: draw confident conclusions when there is not strong evidence to support that in the data.

First of all, an R-squared of 0.15 is nothing to write home about. That is telling you that a massive amount of the variance in the data is not explained by whatever field(s) you are looking at. But hey, 0.15 is something! That means it has "some predictive power"! Maybe, maybe not.

First of all, saying you've founding something with "some predictive power" is a cop out. Your human editors and writers have a lot of "predictive power" themselves just based on their experience. The real question is if the predictive power of this CTR test is a useful compliment to their judgment, and/or if it is worth all the time/effort you put into it.

So let's look at the data little more deeply. A good little trick of analyzing data is to throw out the outliers and then see if that changes your conclusions. This needs to be done with care (sometimes outliers are important!), but when analyzing data you want to play with it a little bit to get a feel for it. In this dataset in particular, what if I throw out the 2 highest pageview stories and the 2 lowest pageview stories? Well the whole conclusion collapses, because the 2 highest pageview stories are basically the only 2 data points supporting this conclusion in the entire dataset. Well crap, that isn't good. At this point I'd stop being confident at all because if taking away a couple outliers destroys your conclusion, that is a bad sign. That doesn't mean the CTR tool is worthless, it just means you can't make the confident claim about it's usefulness from the data.

But let's keep going anyways, the idea seems interesting. Here is how to test it. Give access to this tool to half of your writers and not the other half. Let them each write a bunch of stories and compare the page-views of the two sets. Since you can't make this test completely randomized, you are going to have to control for other factors which might be important (a writer's skill level, past experience, etc), but it should be do-able. Get a bunch of data points, plug them into a model and see if the tool had any impact. At that point you should be ready to write a blog post about it.
You could also previously use the console properties page (accessible from the system menu of the console).
That nightmare had to do with misbehaving servers. IE had to advertise as Mozilla so servers would serve the better response.

In this case it would be possible for a client to fake a UA, but it's more likely that they weren't aware they were doing things incorrectly and correct the behavior rather than opting in to mimicing a different UA to get the server to behave in a non-standard way.

I haven't seen this happen, and this is one of the most popular DAV implementations. I have seen people fix broken implementations as I've slowly been making the server more strict over the last 10 years.

Data is only half the problem. The other is that email address has become the "primary key" for everything. Banking websites, random forums, everything. It's sometimes impossible to change it because it's the "primary key" for identity on that website. And email addresses are not portable like phone numbers.
It seems that for most sites that rely on JS, about ten percent is actually necessary and the remainder is useless advertising/tracking/analytics/fonts/social media buttons. NoScript, uMatrix etc. are really helpful here.

What's strange is that accusations are believed without any evidence. There are swarms of people that really dislike Trump, how are you distinguishing between the two on /r/politics? Long before the 2016 election even started, before CTR was ever started, Trump-like views would have been despised. So saying that CTR dominated /r/politics is not believable on its face. Unless there had been a sudden chance of character for /r/politics and at the same time a CTR swing back. Which would be easy to show.

Accepting anything without proof is strange and foolish.
Trump has already said in many cases that he wants to leave it up to the states, rather than the federal government. I don't see this as being any different.

I really liked this quote by Woodrow Wilson:

“That depends on the length of the speech,” answered the President. “If it is a ten-minute speech it takes me all of two weeks to prepare it; if it is a half-hour speech it takes me a week; if I can talk as long as I want to it requires no preparation at all. I am ready now.”

>If everyone must speak at the same volume, then broadcasting or any kind or public speaking are impossible.

No, you can have one voice broadcasting, and as long as it's still one very loud voice, it's only one voice. This is part of the psychology of how people measure veracity of information: through apparent public consensus. So you can have CBS broadcast something, and that's fine, but it becomes problematic when CBS buy themselves a thousand Twitter bots with names like "Joe Smith" or "DankMemes88", thus giving the false impression that thousands of people are all in consensus.

I find my productivity gets hung up sometimes between the 'doing' and the 'learning', this is particularly painful when I consider the 'learning' to be non-useful later.

A common case for me is 'use this library/package to complete the task to do this thing', I want to write the code that uses the package, the package API is opaque, it speaks in a language that makes sense if you have been playing with a dozen different similar packages, it isn't going to be useful for any other project there is something about this project that makes this package a requirement.

I've come to recognize that I have to give myself permission to read all the docs on the package, and then read large chunks of the discussion amongst enthusiasts of this type of package, then read the original docs again, and contextualize what they say into what I need to do in order to get the package to do what I want. If I don't give myself permission I perceive all of that time as wasted just trying to get the package to do what it does and I need it to do so that I can forget it and move on.

So painful.

> Since the Linux APIs are not formally specified, or verified

That said, they are apparently stable enough to emulate enough of Linux that from another OS that you can simulate a Linux OS as a container and run software as if it's on Linux.[1] So, to my mind that implies that while they may not be formally specified, it's not too hard to look at what's actually implemented and treat that as a sort of loose spec.

In an attempt to understand and empathize with people who do not share my opinions, I looked back through some of your post history and you said this 5 days ago:

"It's never been clear to me why anyone would want to use a completely opaque and undiscoverable interface such as a commandline over a nice GUI for anything. You didn't have to read anything or search around in order to change all of those settings in the GUI."

Professional gamblers* have something to teach everyone about managing risk.

In this case, the primacy of establishing a separate fund as your bank roll, and protecting it by not letting too much of it ride on any single bet (no matter how great the bet seems), is very appropriate to self-funding your own businesses. If you lose your bank roll, then you have to stop gambling, which is bad if you are convinced you have an edge.

*I'm not a gambler of any type, unless you count investing 401k/IRA savings in index oriented ETFs and mutual funds gambling (not an unfair position).

When I lived in Illinois, it was explicitly legal for me as a resident to vote for the school council.

To me, the key takeaway from this article isn't the fate of these relatively few specific people. They did something that was (probably) wrong and Google's response might have been disproportionate, but was arguably their right and close to reasonable.

What should be concerning to most people is that almost everybody depends on so many of Google's (and other companies) services in the cloud and you can have your entire life removed with absolutely zero recourse unless you get media attention. Google doesn't even offer human customer support if your account gets banned and you want to throw $50 or $100 in their face to speak get somebody's undivided attention for just 5 minutes to resolve the issue.

That's the real issue.

Yeah Google, we understand you cant provide free customer service for the entire internet and deal with every crazy person's complaints. But charge a reasonable fee and give desperate people a realistic way to talk to somebody over life-changing problems. Even Google's paid services are often very flawed in this regard.

Email addresses are portable to any webmail, mail server or other email infrastructure provider if you have your own domain and then forward to the service of your choice.

How Chatbots Will Disrupt Politics and Governance
We were talking specifically about terrorism in the UK, not murders in the USA.

USA should ban private gun ownership, obviously. This would do a lot for their murder rate, it would do a lot for their "people killed by toddlers" rate, and it would be a lot cheaper and less invasive than ISPs logging 300M internet access records for a year.

Prioritize things which have high impact, are easy to address, and have specific good outcomes. Not "anti terror" metrics which are vague, difficult and expensive to address, and have extremely low impact.

TSA isn't a good system. And it doesn't become a good system just because 'we have to do something about some crimes'. Sure. Do something better, and do it about more important problems.
