I'm doing the Data Science Specialization from Johns Hopkins University / Coursera, with verified certificates that I hope will help me create a portfolio to showcase as I look at this type of work.

I feel like having a portfolio to point to, as well as code on a site like GitHub, should be a good basis for a conversation with a potential employer.

This code appears to be using the legacy Babel decorators transform in order to use so-called "annotations".

This is a really bad idea. There is no decorator transform that matches the current draft specification. There's only the legacy transform that matches an old, outdated version of the decorator spec.

In general it's not a good idea to do this sort of thing – you're pretending to use an ES7 feature, but actually you're not. You're using what's effectively a bespoke version of the language with no necessary resemblance to what's going to become the spec.
We can do that if we make votes personally identifiable.

That is the core difference.

Without personally identifiable votes, we have no way to assure the voter their vote record cast matches their intent as they have no trusted way to evaluate that record.

When we press a butyon, or touch a screen, we have to trust the feedback we get. When we make a physical mark, the chain of trust is complete.

The problem is the machine can literally do anything and then just tell us what we want to know is true without it actually being true.

Electronic records are a forced vote by untrusted proxy.

Financials are personally identifiable and multiple parties are involved, which catches this problem nicely. That is why they work as well as they do.

Is it really though? I guess it depends how much value you place on the EAF and ROP protections. Personally I wouldn't place too much weight on them.
Do you think the one-month horizon applies to enterprise products as well? If not, how does the metric change? In some industries a sales cycle lasts 18 months before culminating in a multi-million ARR contract. I'm curious given your experience with a database product that perhaps could have gone down that path.

Wow. This documentation is so much better than what was previously available. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

The one thing I will point out is that from a UX perspective the font you are using "Cabin", is naturally smaller and more compact than more common sans fonts (e.g. Open Sans, Century Gothic).

Because of this, even though your site is font-size 16, everything appears smaller than it would normally be.

In MN optical voting processors are OK because the paper ballot is always there to back up the electronic version. Not perfect but a decent compromise.
Yes. Use computed properties.
If we had tangible proof of manipulated votes--even at a very small scale--then:

A) We would have "real-world" attack data to shape defenses against; and

B) It would be a lot easier to make the case for resources to better secure the voting apparatus.
So, I understand that asm.js is a strict subset of JS that's made to run very efficiently. I understand emscripten can transpile C to asm.js, so C programs to run in a browser.

I guess what I don't understand is how the higher-level bindings work. Something like the neo-geo emulators running in asm.js can read controllers and output graphics. How much custom code is required going from system C to browser JS. Is it closer to a 'gimme' if it targets GL and can just use WebGL? Is there something like sdl.js? And if it has those external library dependencies, does the whole dependency tree have to be compiled to asm.js?

More specifically, if the lua VM can be put into the browser, and interpret lua code, then how much custom code would it take to make Love2D work?

Edit: Just re-reading this question I realized it'd most likely be like a static build, so it would pull in the dependency source, and then most likely something that would use the io/display stuff API, but with a browser back-end. I've dug around a couple times trying to find a basic overview of that, but to not much avail. I'd love any references though.
contacts irritated my eyes if I wore them for more than 12 hours. I'd have to decide if I was going to go out in the evening or not, and if so, I'd wear glasses during the day. If I wore them more than 12 hours, I'd have to wear glasses for the next few days because of the irritation. Don't get me started on what happened if I fell asleep with them in my eyes.

the last 4 or so years before lasik I mostly wore glasses except for special occasions where I'd wear contacts.
I have similar setup. For contacts I use "Dailys". They are more expensive but lesser risk of infection. And these workout almost cheaper for those who use contacts occasionally.
Same question... I already have a minor case of dry eye. I've heard LASIK makes for dry eye and both my ophthalmologist and I are in agreement LASIK is a bad idea.

Well, they’re advertised as "cheap DJ headphones".

They have a lot of focus on bass (with having far overpowered bass compared to what high-quality headphones would have), and not much on detail.

Sennheiser produces products for many different categories, if you want accurate sound reproduction, better not buy those marketed for DJs.

Data point: I had LASIK ten years ago. No halos or glare, but my eyes were a little dry for six months afterward. Unfortunately, now the effects are completely reversed and I'm back to the same exact prescription as I had to begin with. It's not that bad, in fact I can get by without glasses about 90% of the time, but it was a complete waste of $4500.

It's about the same as before the surgery - on the dry side. Right after it was rather brutal, I kept dripping my eyes every hour for weeks.

It seems, though, that having air and wind move onto my eye actually helps as I blink more when I'm outside. But it still requires conscious effort to blink often enough, especially when I stare at a monitor most of my day.
A key difference is that malware and other attacks to commit banking fraud is discoverable after the fact. In contrast, election fraud (such as malware on a voter's local system flipping the user's vote) is not discoverable, due to the need for ballot secrecy. (Ballot secrecy is necessary to prevent vote buying and voter intimidation/coercion.)
Some snippets of the introduction:

> When will tech solve the real problems, critics ask?

> Assuming that this complaint is sincere, it nonetheless misses the point. What are "real" problems?

> [...] the author wants to deputize Google, Facebook, Apple, and other tech companies to solve social problems. To rectify flawed systems.

> Do we really want tech companies to turn their attention away from beating board game players and producing business products to start 'solving' social problems? The answer to this question should be an emphatic "no." The entire framing of the question is profoundly backward.

The closest you'll get to a tl;dr are the author's two paragraphs summing things up:

> This essay advances the following points:

> 1. The clamoring for tech companies to solve social problems ignores the empirical record and empirically observed characteristics of top-down engineering efforts and is rooted in a naive belief in the power of technical rationality. Technical rationality not only has a long and fairly checkered history when applied to social problems, but also takes on pathological characteristics when it is embodied in bureaucratic organizations attempting to engineer their way out of policy problems. There is no concrete idea of how tech companies are going to work on these problems, just a vague belief that they should rooted in worship of technical rationality.

> 2. Tech companies are neither instrinsically [sic] well-adapted for taking on quasi-governmental or governmental functions nor likely to be any more successful at escaping the problems of technical rationality than their government counterparts have been. While tech companies can make valuable policy contributions in certain functional areas and with certain mechanisms, the biggest benefit they provide is simply giving us more tools to solve our own problems. Why should we depend on tech companies to solve social problems when it is both better from a normative perspective and a practical one for them to simply give us the tools we need to empower ourselves?

I'm incredibly frustrated by my inability to express clearly enough that whether or not the electors should be faithless was not why I initially commented. Hopefully I'll do better in the future. I wish you the best. Be well.
Indeed, it definitely is one hell of an assumption. Just as "matter is fundamental and consciousness is an emergent phenomena" is. Until we find a way to test it in any way (which may not be possible at all) the only thing we're left with is to play with the axioms and get a feel of what the resulting theory can and cannot explain.

However when we accept the 'panpsychist' axiom, we're free to come up with more detailed theories (as Integrated Information Theor) that eg. predict under what conditions physical systems and consciousness coincide in a way we can experience. And indeed they claim they can explain eg. why brain, as opposed to silicon circuits, coincides with it.

To be clear, I'm not saying this theory is correct - I've no idea. I'm just saying that this whole approach is as valid as the physicalist one.
Trump complained the system was rigged out of transparent demagoguery. He had no real facts, he had vague "dead people on the voter rolls" type claims because they sounded good. (People don't magically fade from the rolls when they die, there's a process and at any time it's normal and unavoidable for dead people to be on the rolls.)

If (and only if) one party has actual evidence or data of rigging, it wouldn't be hypocritical for them to challenge the results after not taking Donald's whining during the campaign seriously.

But it's academic, the results shouldn't be overturned. Even if it was found legitimate to give Hillary the win, it would make a martyr out of Donald and his movement would gain traction for 4 more years. The next 4 years are going to be ugly either because Donald is president or because half the country believes a conspiracy gave it to Hillary.

One party or the other is going to be punished in 4 years. Better it should be Donald, let him fail and have his movement get put behind us for good.
Wouldn't a simpler solution involve just putting the internal tools behind a VPN with cert login?
I also underwent SMILE about 1.5 years ago. I had ~3.5 myopia in both eyes with ~1 astigmatism. Prior, I was using contacts for about 4 years, as well as glasses on off days and nights (after I came back home). My eyes were a tad bit drier than average (my eyes required lubricant eyedrops after a few hours of computer use if I wasn't well rested, for example).

Compared to contacts, my eyes are actually much less dry now. Contacts dried my eyes a lot. My eyes used to start getting dry and scratch by late afternoon/early evening. Compared to using glasses, it either is the same dryness or less dry. SMILE was a huge improvement for me, both for correcting my eyesight and slightly improving eye dryness.

For those who are considering: I was initially suggested PRK due to the potential downsides of LASIK but learned about, and ultimately opted to, SMILE. My mother had LASIK done at age 45 and she still is very happy with it. I had about a day of post-surgery burning sensation in the eyes but nothing afterwards. In the grand scheme of things, it was the easiest surgery I've ever had (and I had a few).

If you can afford it and SMILE is an option from a decent doctor, it will be one of the best investments you'll ever make.
> It seems unlikely for the result of the election to change even if one state was hacked...

If Florida (where Trump's winning margin is less than 130,000 votes, which is less than 1.3% of the votes cast in that state) and its 29 electoral votes were declared for Clinton, that would put the two candidates in a dead heat, with 261 electoral college votes each.
Why? To ensure your work pays off. Dirt will get you most of the way but hacking will be a safety net. Really you wouldn't have to infect many machines. The states that were listed (and a few more) you wouldn't need to change much to sway the vote. And if you were only attacking a few dozen machines in each state the risk wouldn't be too high. You do have privacy in the polling booth and from what I've seen most hacks would only really take like a minute.

Hey, Kevin from the Mozilla VR team here.

Perhaps targeting mobile is a different story, mobile browsers are constrained. We built A-Frame on top of three.js, and we're able to build compelling 90 FPS room scale VR experiences running with the Vive in the browser. Perhaps it could be optimized, but it's worked wonderfully for our use cases. https://blog.mozvr.com/a-painter/

Your post is the first downvote I'm giving on HN.

I'm pretty sure Ortho-K gave me astigmatism. It does not work for higher ranges of myopia and touting it as better alternative is disingenuous at best. Night driving was downright impossible and the halo effects were so strong that I would be a menace for anyone on the road.

I strongly urge people to consider it very carefully, because the impact can be as significant as a surgery.

I honestly would say the halos around celestial objects are similar to what you would see if you had slight astigmatism.
EDIT: fixed stupid brain bug

Dennett's approach is absurd. Consciousness is the only thing in the Universe that is self-evident in the strict sense. Everything else is at least second-hand stuff - see the brain in a vat hypothesis. To say that consciousness is an illusion is ridiculous; I can see how he gets there, but the conclusion is absurd. Somewhere along the way there's a mistake; no, I don't know where the mistake is, and I could not even begin to hypothesize. OP's article points out this predicament very well. It is a hard problem indeed.

> One of the most promising theories (discussed in the podcast) assumes that consciousness is a fundamental attribute of reality, the other side of the coin (matter being the first one).

I can hear the objections being raised already, but it's a neat promising step towards solving the hard problem. Suddenly the reducibility paradox vanishes.

It would also relieve another problem. If you can't trivially reduce consciousness to neural activity, then how is it coupled with perception? There would appear to be a gap between the sensory chain and the fact of awareness. And then for consciousness to work, it would already have to be everywhere (in a sense, possibly even a somewhat metaphorical one, or at least non-trivial). The assumption you mention solves this problem.

> here's a talk by Culadasa, very experienced meditator and a neuroscience professor

It's very, very hard to agree with Dennett, and it's getting harder the more you advance in the practice of meditation. As soon as you realize that you can peel off and disconnect layers upon layers of perception (external at first, then the many internal layers too), and also greatly reduce the waves of what is commonly called "thinking", while consciousness does not diminish but instead becomes at once more vivid and more stable, more calm and more intense, less connected to external factors but more broad - all that talk about "the illusion of consciousness" starts to look extremely suspicious. It's not perception, and it's not thinking; it can relate to these things, but it's fundamentally different. It can ultimately exist completely independent of inputs, either external (sensory) or internal (thoughts, mind activity in the trivial sense, even memory).

Don't just read about it. Go ahead and have the experience yourself. It changes a lot of perspectives. You don't even have to go all the way to the highest levels described in the literature - the intermediate stuff is revelatory enough already.

A-Frame defaults the desktop drag (which acts as a preview for VR experiences) to dragging the camera. For static scenes such as panorama, it can feel weird, but A-Frame does have options now to reverse the drag direction. But when you're building 3D scenes and using WASD, it feels more natural to drag the camera.

Pointer lock should be done, but we count the desktop drag as a non-invasive preview mode, but experiences can implement pointer lock if they need.

I had done a ton of research back when I first had Prk done on both eyes in 2010. At that time. The military only allowed waivers for prk for pilots and I wanted to be a army helicopter pilot. My doctor and nurses kinda told me (secretly) later that most everyone opts for Lasik and that they thought prk was better and had less complications. Beyond the moderately more upfront discomfort. That long term the stats were better for prk. It took a bit before I stopped regretting it(from discomfort). Eventually I came around to thinking it was best decision. My quality of life has gone up a lot(not having to deal with glassses/contacts) Simply being able to see the clock in the middle of the night. And I recently had it done a 2nd time on my right eye. Currently try in healing now (2 days ago) it was significantly less bothersome this time. No idea why. And while I never had any noticeable night time driving issues. I think this is probably a decreasing concern in that in a few years with the rise of autonomous cars. Most of us won't night drive anyways.

My myopia and astigmatism were stable for more than 20 years before I had the surgery. But in ten years I'll be at an age, where EVERYONE in my immediate family have had to have reading glasses.

I'm not expecting to keep my head of hair much longer either - all the men in my family were bald at 40. There's always hoping, though.
> Software development, already dominated by tech behemoths, will become completely out of reach of small development teams simply because the regulatory burden is so high.

I think what will prevent the above from happening is inability of government to enforce laws on the books, people disregard for those laws and the fact that technology experiments are often positive sums games where Google, Microsoft and Oracle stand to lose more by blocking entry to small players through regulatory mechanisms.

If we look at the majority of tech law suites we can easily observe that there is no clear winner and either parties seem to have achieved only small term gains.

But I most certainly see that government will successfully kill innovation when it comes to heavily regulated industries such as education, drugs, medicine and biotech.
