For a cookie cutter app, there are zero alternatives with feature parity. It's also notably much, much higher quality than the median app.
Bcrypt uses 22 character salt.

The output of your library's BcryptEncoder.encode(password) includes not only the password hash but information about the algorithm and the salt. That's what you store in your database. That extra information tells the decode function how to decode later on.

In the data I've scraped in my own nsfw programming work there's a great deal of bad tags with content out there. xvideos is a great example of crowdsourcing that has horrible error rates.
"Apple is weighing an expansion into digital glasses, a risky but potentially lucrative area of wearable computing, according to people familiar with the matter, Bloomberg News reports."

That's it. That's the whole story.

The expiration was designed back when Certificate Transparency was only required to make Extended Validation certificates display a green bar. The intention was never to make certificates fail entirely when a Chrome build was more than 10 weeks old. Now that CT is being used for more than just a green bar, the log list expiration is being revisited.
Their contests evaluate your algo on a number of heuristics, namely high alpha and zero beta. They are agnostic to you or your background.
I more often say "oh-day", and less often, "zero day". This could be a generational thing. "oh-day" is preferred by many of the hackers I talk to who have been in the industry for a while.
>The New York Times completely made up the story about Trump mocking a disabled reporter

There is video (http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-34930042) and it was very widely reported by both conservative and liberal media.
Agree with your points. And also skeptical of the BLK comment - though for a venture capitalist joining the board, making this investment sound like it's a future $60B market cap firm is par for the course.

I'm in the industry as well, and I see recruiting and training of new quants to be very inefficient and very expensive right now. I've met for coffee with PhDs in Physics with job offers already from HFs in hand and their first question to me is "what does a quant HF trader do?"

What are your thoughts of Quantopian becomes used more for recruiting and training quants for other HFs than as an asset manager itself?
Trump mocked the reporter, but he didn't mock him for his disability. Trump uses the same mocking motions all the time [1], but The New York Times, decided to freeze the image and write a story to say he was specifically mocking the reporter's disability. Big difference. And it worked, because so many people believe it. But it was a lie plain and simple. That's why so few people trust the media any more.

With all due respect, don't stick your nose unasked in other people's business.

Behavior like that makes me far more angry than rude comments.
Thanks! Compared to the rapid growth startup I worked at previously (not as a founder, but very early hire), bootstrapping has been much less frantic. Of course, being in full control can help with that too.
Yeah, that's the way I've always done it because otherwise it sounds wrong. I guess someone taught me the rule and I don't remember or something.

I think another factor here is likely that when traffic on a fake news site is high enough, it can actually get pushed to the top of Google's organic search results (as happened with completely false popular vote results recently). In that scenario, they've manipulated Google into feeding them massive ad revenue with false information. Given Google's (now dead, I suppose) original intent to classify the world's information and make it easy to find, it's a pretty sad outcome. Glad they're taking action.
Somewhat offtopic, but this article reminded me of the old times when every mobile phone came with a serial port and you could just talk to them direcly. The Nokia and Siemens devices always supported it by default and it was easy to access everything from address book, to call lists, to ringtones and the "provider logo".

Unfortunately, it was also used by the police to make a copy of everything you had on it...
I can't speak for Symantec, but folks use SSLMate (which resells Comodo) because of the customer support, the wildcard certificates, the lack of rate limits, and the central management of certificates (which integrates with Cert Spotter, our Certificate Transparency monitor). Also, some of our customers have special requirements and unfortunately can't automate certificate issuance. These customers want year long certificates with email validation, but still prefer using SSLMate's command line workflow over the clunky web interfaces of most CAs.
So you clear the forest by turning it into lumber, then you enter it?
The name is already a play on that.
Right, but, from a business perspective, the same argument goes for GPL vs permissive licenses; why use GPL if there's an Apache or BSD alternative.

I'm ok with dual licensing, what annoys me is businesses that makes nominally free software but puts half the core functionality in proprietary extensions. It feels like they're saying, we want the community to contribute to our core, but we're going to sell the profitable parts.

Even worse is a company like Odoo (not to name anyone...), who switched from all AGPL + selling support model to a free core + proprietary modules model. They relicensed their codebase, claiming they own copyright for all of it since they rewrote all community-contributed parts, but that's really questionable. You can't erase 10 years of community contributions.
I first became familiar with her work in the early 90's when she was writing for the New York Times. I loved her writing style and always read her articles. She was just as good on TV - sharp, intelligent dialog without the yelling you get on other shows. She'll be missed!
I have to assume that many don't want a safety net; they want to be able to be able to support themselves.
It's been a privilege to work with the folks at Fermilab on this over the last few weeks. There were lots of fun hurdles getting HTCondor up this high, last minute bug fixes (thanks to Doug Strain!), and having only so many hours in a day. It's also fun and rewarding to be doing science on 160k cores in us-central1.

If you happen to be at Supercomputing, Burt Holzman from Fermilab will be giving talks at our booth (4272) about HEPCloud.

Disclosure: I work on Google Cloud and pitched in to help on this.
Seriously, though, synthesis using a recognition model can be a good reality check to remind us of the shortcomings of the model's "understanding" of the domain.
"If the mic wasn’t left on, it would take the app longer to both initialize the mic and then start buffering audio"

Leaving aside any privacy concerns, it's reasonable that everybody with this installed loses some battery life leaving the audio hardware powered up all day on the off-chance they might want to tag a song at the very last moment at some point?

It's not like the latency to start an audio stream on the Mac is huge to start with.
Not everyone believes that the solution to poverty is welfare. I imagine many of his voters believe the solution looks more like protectionism. Which is basically what his plan is.

I'm not claiming they're right. I'm just claiming that you can be a fiscal conservative and still think you have the solution to poverty.

Try it, it doesn't. The Bcrypt algorithm generates salts and the salt is built into the outputted hash.
> That is not an excuse. I can understand why Apple went forward,

Mind explaining it to us, I don't understand Apple's reasoning here after they said to him to send them the blog post.
NYC has a 24/367 Apple Store (Fifth Ave), a 24 hour Best Buy (Union Square -- at least 5 days/week), 24 hour Staples and Fedex, 24 hour quality grocers (Fairway, West Side Market,...), pharmacies, subway 24 hours, also many fast food 24 hours.

Population is diverse: 40% of New Yorkers not born in USA.
A good and fair point.

But neither was the post saying "I have visions of Bill, passed out in a hammock on the White House lawn, surrounded by empties and cheeto packets." voted down, so that would tend to weigh against it being purely a matter of being a comment with no substance.

I'd say that it appears that people believed it was the type of political falsehood we're talking about here. I mean, it did say 'more than likely' so anyone who believed the 98-99% estimates should have considered it laughably false based on the evidence they knew. The other comment made a more specific, factual claim that couldn't be laughed off, though I saw many stories aghast that 538 would break ranks.

I can't find a source, but in part the consistency of the polls reminds me of the stories of how the measurements of some physical constant (g?) drifted over time because everyone felt beholden to the 'consensus' value, which was wrong. I wish I could find that, I think I saw it on HN a long time ago.

Obviously, it's 'safest' to use the same assumptions everyone else did. When 538 broke from the herd, a lot of people questioned them on it. Based on the results, they were at least 30+% more correct than the 99%ers. And I think all of them were operating on assumptions that have been invalidated.
There's a limit to how many SAN's you can fit in one cert. There is apparently no defined upper bound, but dependent on the client's implementation. 25 - 100 names seems to be the common limit supported by most registrars.

In the parent poster's case, it sounds like a good use case for a wildcard cert. They may have thousands of affiliates, and may not know all of the affiliates ahead of time, so with a SAN cert, would need to reissue the certificate each time a new affiliate signs up.

Not sure what you mean about virtue signaling there. Maybe the article was specifically aimed at millionaires or something, but for a normal middle class person to spend two or three months salary on a ring? That's crazy.

Just like most people do not own real Picassos or Van Goghs. (Though if they did, it'd retain it's value better than a diamond ring.) If the occasional rich diamond lover spends that much, that's totally understandable, but for society to expect that kind of expense from people with financial struggles (everybody who is not rich), that is irresponsible.

new Rational(2, 3) == new Rational(4, 6)

You could implement Rationals to be structurally equal by simplifying them immediately on construction, but that may be a lot of unnecessary computation in some cases.
"...despite the changes that it has undergone since its first published description, which was admittedly informal and incomplete..." ~ Dennis M. Ritchie

It took a decade to even decide what the C language really was and standardize it -- sounds pretty undefined and whimsical to me. But we all use and understand words differently so let's agree to disagree :)
Not sure what you mean. Identity comparisons are more useful for mutable objects, but even an immutable object can use one as an alternative to a unique ID. For example, you might have a queue of input events, where once an event is posted nothing about it needs to change, but multiple events with the same properties are possible (e.g. pressing the same key twice in a row).

On the other hand, mutable objects with value semantics can provide the ergonomic advantage that mutation has in some cases (e.g. 'point.y += 10' rather than 'point = Point(point.x, point.y + 10)' as well as more predictable performance, while avoiding bugs caused by accidental aliasing.

4 Things Startups Can Do to Better Manage Interns (written by a Startup Intern)
A great tool for exploring JTAG and other protocols is the bus pirate: http://dangerousprototypes.com/docs/Bus_Pirate

It isn't great for what the article mentions (lack of pre-existing tools for common mobile phone tasks) but it is cheap and versatile.
But it's undemocratic. A small number of people are determining how best to keep society running smoothly. Shouldn't they follow the democratically decided rules?
"Has the same hash value" is a very important set of equality relations which can depend on many factors.
Sure, but it takes a lot of power to do it and the price goes up really fast.

I think once you get over about 100 or 150 watts it's possible to cut thin metals. To cut think plate steel takes a lot more. Since I've just got a 45 watt machine, I don't have any experience with metal. (I have been wondering if I can cut copper foil tape with 45 watts, but I haven't done the experiment yet.)

There are other considerations besides wattage, though. Different wavelengths are better at cutting different things. I've also heard of releasing pure oxygen at the point where you're cutting helps. (Even low-end laser cutters typically use an air compressor to blow smoke out of the way and, paradoxically, prevent the material from catching on fire.)

Reflectivity can also be an issue. I know someone who runs an industrial laser cutter and they avoid brass because too much of the light just reflects back and tends to damage the machine.
When you have a fast and stable internet connection you hardly appreciate how useful it is to read offline docs.

When you don't, it is a godsend.
Think about a bomb that ticks down to 0 and doesn't go off. That would be awfully convenient.

I'm a lurker and created an account. I have worked with Groovy/Grails for the past five years at multiple large corporations as well as one state entity (both employment and contract work). I was actually surprised on how many companies use it. Also, I have never heard anyone with such a negative response to it. You can take off your tinfoil hat now.
Oh come on. I just watched the video again. He says "now the poor guy, you've got to see this guy" and then he starts flailing his hands around and imitating the reporter in a strange voice: "'uh uh uh I don't know what I said ah ah ah I don't remember' he goes like 'I don't remember maybe that's what I said'". I've watched plenty of Trump speeches and have not seen him use hand gestures like that, and I wouldn't associate that gesture with not remembering or hedging on something. I would definitely associate it with a disability like cerebral palsy.

It's definitely not just manufactured by taking a freeze frame. Look at the video.

If you want a digging to go unnoticed, you don't try to conceal the digging; you dig in a place where lots of other mundane diggings are already happening.

Thank goodness we can hide away and silence dissenting and right wing voices. It's not like that was a big part of what caused Trump to be elected.

I really am glad that google, facebook & co curate what political things we get shown, that fixes democracy once and for all by making us better informed citizens. /s

EDIT: To those who do not get free speech at all: By silencing people who spread conspiracy theories, you provide them with the first fact that they might be on to something. Because if they weren't on to something, why couldn't you just provide simple facts to contradict and embarrass the conspiracy theorist?
With more context we could probably agree that it's not unnecessary computation if you want to do anything useful with the data.

Funny that this pops here today. I was rereading Logicomix two days ago, and Leibniz “Calculemus!” is mentioned at least two times in the comics.

Anyone who hasn't read Logicomix already should really do it asap.
By "obvious" I meant to ML practitioners (esp frequentists which is more typical for big data). Not everyone. So not priced in. It is not an efficient market. There are huge information asymmetries. I will give you that calling it ML 101 was over the top.

If you dig into the polling breakdown and compare the individual polls (states as well as national) with the actuals it is clear that the polls were bad. Just because the aggregate error was less off than it otherwise could have been is more luck than anything. It could be argued that you can assume a gaussian error distribution so a more precise aggregate is to be expected but I would argue that that is not a safe assumption.

TLDR; Just because it was close doesn't make it a good model.

As an aside. All of my Bayesian friends lost money and all of my Frequents friends made money :)
Uikit – A lightweight and modular front-end framework
Is that a problem in practice, though? If I were conducting a count under a cardinal voting system (such as range voting or approval voting) I would count one candidate after another. This would really slow down a count involving a large number of candidates, which is bad for a system aiming to increase voter choice. However, under IRV/RCV I would literally put the ballot papers in piles (one for each candidate) and count each pile. It's possible (and, I believe, typical) that less counting is required under IRV/RCV than under any of the other voting systems mentioned on the page you linked to (with the exception of plurality voting).

There is more unbiased analysis from RT (Russian Today) the Russian propaganda network then there is in the Times at this point. That scares me but then again the other American mainstream media is utter propaganda to I suppose its only as bad as the rest at this point.

The Times lost credibility with there 'weapons of mass destruction' stories which were used by Collen Powell and the Bush administration to gain the support for the Iraq War. The weapons were never verified and over 500,000 Iraqis were killed, and counting. Haven't trusted them since.
Then where is it? Why are my posts missing?
I think this is one of the good ideas that pave the way to hell. What is fake and what is truth? How is Google going to decide? Couple examples: 1/ Is global warming a huge conspiracy? The president of USA certainly says so. 2/ News: CIA plotted with terrorist to traffic drugs to US - that must be a hoax, right? 3/ News: The US govt secretly spread syphilis among black population - this infowars shit must be surely hoax. 4/ How about US pretending being attacked to start a war? I am talking about Gulf of Tonkin, not 9/11. 5/ The government is reading all your emails and listening to all your phonecalls - bat shit crazy, right?

What I am trying to say is that once such mechanism is in place it can go on a slippery slope from there on. Next thing they will decide to filter fake news search results and that very minute they will be subpoenaed to hide something in the name of state security.

IMO comparing hashes instead of just comparing would only make sense if it's semantical, i.e. explicit at the call site. Why not call equals explicitly on the hash values? Can you make a case for keeping it implicit?

I wish there were a way to do this, but even as (what sometimes seems to be) the last defender of traditional newspapers, your proposal makes me uneasy. It just sounds a bit to centralized & authoritarian.

I'm also starting to be skeptical if it could have any impact: all these fact-checking projects have exposed lies for years now, mostly quite competency and convincing. But people just don't care.

Here's an idea I was thinking about: I want to use an ad-blocker for certain really annoying ads, but I do not want to cut off the lifeblood of quality journalism. I'd wish for a blocker that's more permissive, considering both the quality of the ad and the website. (similar to adblock plus, but without the blackmailing).
ahhh I see, thank you !

It makes sense that way.. I was wondering why would anybody really need that much to look at documentation while on the go.
