They believe recruiter X understands the role and company well enough to do the grunt work of reading through and filtering down candidates without disrupting everyone's work flow until it gets to the final set of candidates.

They are small enough that they cannot justify developing and maintaining internal recruiters who can do it better.

They believe the recruiter's pitch that they know the industry and have databases of people to search and reach out to and so can speed up the process to find a qualified and interested candidates.

Because apparently it is generally good enough for the executives that are making that outsourcing decision.

Some combination of all of the above
The Rockefeller Family Fund vs. Exxon
Putin would like it if everyone thought his government is just great, but he knows he can't get that to happen. So what he is doing instead is having his internet propaganda organization push the line that you can't trust any information source. That has the added benefit that if citizens give up deciding what to believe, then they will become apathetic and democracies will collapse, which would be very useful for his goals.

As for the Washington Post, I don't think it is always correct, but I do believe that it usually is sincerely trying to get at the truth.

> why is it still so far behind AWS? Why did AWS start literally 10 years before GCP

That seems to answer the first question. AWS had a multi-year head start, but GCP is catching up and has the fundamentals covered, and the primitives they offer are very strong.
"goto fail" certainly could be used as a way of subverting iOS security but it provided indiscriminate access in a way that seems more like a vulnerability caused by a bug.

Maybe some actor did add the goto fail for nefarious reasons, but it can quite easily be explained by a merge error.

It's not easy to explain this particular backdoor as anything but a backdoor. From the article:

"The binary responsible for the firmware OTA update operations also includes code to hide its presence from the Android OS, along with two other binaries and their processes. A developer looking at active Android processes won't be able to tell when there's an update coming to his phone."

If you had dinner at a restaurant, the restaurant knows, and if you used a credit card to pay for it, the payment processing company can figure it out by correlating the menu prices with the total bill. If you cooked dinner at home, you used groceries, and the supermarket has a record of what you bought there. If you googled a recipe, then google knows. If anyone intercepts your sewage and analyzes it, they will know, too. Your gas company knows how much energy you used on the burner. Your electric company saw the power spikes from your blender and microwave, and it saw your fridge compressor turn on. If anyone left Siri or Google Assistant or Amazon echo on during dinner, then they know. Anyone going through your trash can see what wrappers you threw out, or any leftover food.

What you had for dinner exactly is indeed "private" as you describe, but you see where I'm going with this? Your effective privacy is being pushed into a corner, because it's now possible with all of the little bits and pieces of clues you leave everywhere and the advent of big data to correlate these pieces into such a precise picture that your effective privacy is approaching zero over time.

A lot of European universities now offer courses in English to attract cross-border students. British students are notoriously poor at learning second languages, but they have the advantage of being native speakers of the global lingua franca.

Funny, I had a similar conundrum and the same solution (buy a 2015 moto x pure).
Bromine is not safe to eat, and it's eliminated very slowly, so it would accumulate in the cow.

I would not be comfortable eating products from a cow fed this without some careful safety studies first.

Otherwise you are potentially poisoning people in exchange for some methane reduction - that's not a good tradeoff.
A nice little article. I have fond memories of Nokia too:

- Nokia 1100 was my first mobile phone (the days when you would need to charge a mobile phone once a week!)

- The Nokia Lumia 620 was the first smartphone I immediately fell in love with, both for the OS and the industrial design (it felt so good to hold in my hands!)
Ive transitioned over the years from iPhones to Samsung androids then the nexus range, ie gradually closer to stock.

About 6 months ago my second nexus 5 crapped out and as I couldst find any nexus replacements (Im In SEA) I decided to try out the Xiaomi Mi4i. Im now fully converted. Its as big an improvement over the Nexus as the Nexus was over the Samsung. And its half the price of one.

The biggest surprise was MIUI. It rocks and in my opinion a far superior UI than vanilla android. Its also updated really frequently, the last update they did (last week) rectified the only major issue I had with the UI (quick-links on the status menu).

Seriously, I cannot praise this phone highly enough. My only qualm is the performance with while flicking between apps. But hell - its $170!
As an aside, an important facet of self organization is time tracking. Does HN have a good way of time tracking? I dislike the stop/start method? Something like stochastic time tracking (https://github.com/dreeves/TagTime) perhaps (but that actually works).
While I sympathize with your sentiment, it's really disingenuous to play dumb.

Chernobyl and Fukushima would immediately come to mind.

Imagine you are told there is a 99% chance you have a fatal disease that will kill you on your 50th birthday, and that the only cure has a 100% chance of leaving you completely paralyzed, but must be done before you turn 25. Would it be unreasonable to take your chances without treatment?

Now imagine the doctor stands to gain tremendous financial wealth from this treatment in the form of grants and whole departments at universities. In fact, the more people these doctors diagnose, and the more certain they are, the more money and prestige they and the politicians that proselytize their research get. And the doctors making the diagnoses try desperately to discredit the doctors that dispute them, going so far as to call them 'crank doctors'. Despite the fact that no one will know for sure if the diagnosis is correct for several more decades, at which point the people advocating the existence of the disease will all be dead or retired.

Would you paralyze yourself for that? What about the whole world?
Would be interesting to see some other stats for people in the study... anything around mental health, number of sexual partners, the length of relationships, academic performance, personality types, etc... Something that explained why people make relationships the way they do.

Looking at the graphs I think I would fall into the compartmentalized option, I had friends I would go to classes with, friends outside of classes, friends in my fraternity... it was rare that they all got together in the same place.

My goals were to get good grades, have people to party with on the weekends (on demand), and then have some people who I was actually close with -- the guys I played poker with. Post college I kept up with a few people from each group I guess -- certainly wasn't exactly as I planned though. People float in and out over time...
You are right, the same thing happens in other countries and people get awarded diplomas, etc. although they are not qualified.

However it is hard to evaluate who is more corrupt (in the sense of "cheating" with certificates), so at the end of the day we do not really know and have to rely on the facts.

The facts are that we have strong reasons to believe that humans are responsible for climate change in recent years and endanger several aspects of our ecosystem (there is a lot more data on that than on the analysis of the credibility of Chinese officials) and that a recently elected leader of a nation that has a big impact on world politics and economics thinks that it is a hoax by a foreign country.

There are two narratives that one could construct:

0. "Climate change influenced by the industrialization of
our society packed by big amounts of scientific data.
Elected leader is uninformed and on the wrong side of
history."

1. "Climate change is a hoax setup by a foreign country
and powers supporting it are part of a big conspiracy
thing going on that even goes miles to grant
fake-certificates to political leaders to support
the hoax."

For me option 0 just sounds more reasonable. If Trump continues his Chinese climate-change hoax he might be one the wrong train and he and his followers will look stupider from day to day.

I read that line several times, and I can't figure out what one has to do with the other. The depletion effect doesn't change based on the source.

It's made from bromine, it's not a hard element to get a hold of.

Slows the release in the cow, or after leaving the cow? Because we care only after leaving the cow, and at that point it has to have been released (in the cow) in order to function.

No, you've misclassified the problem. Decentralized consensus is hard. Decentralized is a stricter criterion than distributed. Decentralized means there is no central authority. Facebook "solves" this by having a centralized identity registrar, which wouldn't work for Bitcoin, because that would inherently give control of the network to whoever owns the registrar. In cryptocurrencies this is called the "sybil attack problem".

Edit: "However I believe (maybe wrongly?) most customers do not need to have a rooted phone, so I am really interested in the type of application?"

EDS for mounting encrypted volumes only works with root, since it needs elevated access to the kernel to mount stuff. That's probably the only app I use that requires root, but there are other customizations that I couldn't do on stock. For example, on my moto x pure the onscreen buttons were in the "wrong" places, and I needed the aicp (it's a ROM) ability to customize which button does what and icons. Mainly I wanted the back button to be on the right and not the left, and the other buttons to be the same as my previous phone.

If it's a custom rom, I expect others to have the same issues I'll have and someone will have developed a workaround or fix. On stock, this won't always be the case.

Then there's the whole "tethering" thing, which can be a big deal when traveling with a phone and laptop. Stock won't let you tether unless your plan allows it, while cyanogenmod or aicp doesn't care.

(Still annoyed that moto x pure, aicp, and ringplus 4g don't seem to mix, and I can only get 3g on anything besides for stock.)
The article is so heavily handed in its one-sided condemnation of adversary nations, and the author refuses to look at the disinformation activities of his fatherland (besides saying it isn't doing enough and needs to "up its game").

Being candid about the abuse of information on all sides is a REQUIRED first step to discussing Information Warfare in a sensible way. Not doing it immediately introduces cherrypicking, and gives the impression to readership that there is one-sided activity that requires a one-sided response. This itself is disinformation.

I'm not sure we could expect anything else from a career propagandist (Peter Pomerantsev, the author) and think trying to start conceptualizing the propaganda war by reading in some serious way such particularly strategized output from a propagandist is a poor manner to start.

He has a point, though the way he said it might be a little too grand. Sometimes I feel that I'd like to learn some topic X for school, in enough depth that I can solve problems that appear on exams, while at other times, I wish I could learn X just enough to be dangerous. For this reason I sometimes wish there is one of resource for each of those situations, or as the previous poster called them "constraints". But then I realize that as you divide them up like this, they just don't get popular enough for the author to put in enough work or maintain quality.

Luckily, for the most part, the MOOC scene brings us one type and the other type exists a lot on youtube etc.

I hope I didn't sound too much like the previous poster, but when I read what he said, I realized that I too had the same thought process!
I've worked with particle accelerators, cancer data, and AI and i'd agree that weather prediction is probably the most complex technology we have at the moment.

Weather is both easy to measure and quite hard to predict and we've studied it for longer then most things. So we have a vast global array of sensors and ensembles of complicated models running constantly on supercomputers.

I hope we get to that level with biology and other fields at some point but we aren't there yet.

"Setting up a blog at for example WordPress.com is not much more complicated than creating a new Twitter account."

I don't think I can take an idea seriously when it comes from someone who says stuff like this. Anyone who's had to manage a product will know better. It's like saying email and twitter are the same. But seriously, this post seems pretty out of touch with the reality.

He uses politics as an example, but for majority of the people politics is exactly why they leave Twitter because it's so annoying having to listen to these people. It's like listening to your grandfather talking about the same thing over and over again--most of his words are right, but after a while it gets old and you want to get away from having to listen to same shit over and over. Twitter is worse because it's not even some wisdom. Most tweets are low quality and increasingly many tweets have negative energy.

Lastly, we don't have to worry about Twitter's future. This guy worries that Twitter may go away, but I'm sure he wouldn't really care if it actually did. Instead, some other service will come along and swoop up anyone who want to keep using the format (Although it would be much smaller number since people now know better)

Why does redux {any new js} rename everything software engineering standardised?
Looking at js frameworks lately it seems they broadly prevent developers from benefiting fully from previous software engineering knowledge.

Not by just reinventing the wheel regularly - everyone knows they do that all the time, there's even a handy industry term for it now, Javascript Fatigue.

What they do is even more insidious - they make up new words for existing industry terms. Then sometime they confuse further by redefining existing words with completely different meanings (see 'middleware' below).

It was helpful to just say Javascript Fatigue above as most readers will instantly grok what I'm talking about. Industry standard naming is a solved issue called Design Patterns.

Redux is one of the culprits of renaming that is popular and to keep updated I'm learning it. Should be quick with my 20 years development and constant learning! But hahaha as they didn't use industry standard terms for anything.

Here’s Redux summarised with patterns:
Redux is a data storage framework, based on the Command, Event Sourcing and CQRS patterns.

But instead we got e.g. http://redux.js.org/docs/recipes/ReducingBoilerplate.html

Command - 'actions' in redux
Factory - 'action creators'
Decorator - 'middleware'

Middleware, middleware, geez. If they aren't going to use the industry standard term for the pattern they're using, why pick a word already industry standard then use it completely differently, confusing developers as well as search engines, wasting the authors time as literally most of the page is re-explaining why you would use these industry patterns, which could be simple links to the patterns definitions for anyone who didn't know it yet. Their page would be 1/4 the size, writing & reading time, and an order of magnitude easier to understand!
Yes, that will happen.

Consider an analogous situation: You made a mistake designing a building. Should you be able to shrug it off as "mistakes happen"?

This has actually happened in the real world with buildings, and when it does if you are responsible and work diligently to correct the problem people are understanding.

Do the same here.
p.s. This is not to pick on Redux specifically though, this redefinition of terms is rampant across the new hot js frameworks from what I've been able to read about them with the limited time on the planet I have.
A quick look to see what industry has learned about this issue suggests that open standards are the solution? What do you think?

This is known as the "nothing at stake" problem and is solved at this point: just require a deposit for mining and treat it as a bounty for proving someone tried to mine on more than one continuation of the PoS blockchain. The kicker is part of the deposit is burned to avoid shenanigans of someone claiming the bounty on theirself and not having to suffer any consequences.
It think one of the issues at the core is that all these copy cats have a company or group of people behind them who stand to benefit if their block-chain gets traction. Because there is a lot of value if someone can control the block chain you see all these people trying. Bitcoin's creator on the other hand released their idea into the world and then disappeared. If it is eventually successful they don't stand to benefit any more than any other early adopter.

It kind of reminds me of the early days of the Internet when you didn't get "Internet" you got AOL, or CompuServe, or whatever. All these companies wanted to control the network you connected into with their own branding. Eventually those companies all died and everyone realized that an open Internet with no one company controlling it at the core was the way things would go.
That's super useful, thank you. I got the Moto G (which is on the list) and will use this to get my next phone when this one dies (non replaceable battery so I imagine 2 more years tops). All the table is missing is how easy it is to root.
