Haven't seen that lecture yet, but something sure does seem out of place : java first appeared in 1995. If there's a book from 1986 showing java code, those pesky time lords have been at it again.

Anyway, I can see some logic behind using an ancient example of a vulnerability : these things were problems back in '86, and yet now, 2016, we still haven't figured out how to prevent them. I could also see the logic behind using another language : many security flaws are language independent. "I'm using <insert language here>, so I don't need to worry about security!" - yes, you do.

Scaling Your Personal Knowledge: Being a “Mentee” – ScaleScale.com
It doesn't. At least not for me.
With this platform (and Gym) it seems like a large part of their strategy for "democratizing AI" is to grow the amateur research community. By making it easier for an individual to play around and conduct experiments, they are hoping enable progress to emerge from anywhere instead of just from wealthy companies and elite universities.

It is also a great way to be able to track and organize what is being created rather than having to sort through amateur projects scattered across the web or research publications that often lack accompanying code.

Edit:

Some key ways they're making it easier for amateurs:

* Starting point for problems to solve

* Way to get noticed (instead of needing a university/company brand)

* Technological infrastructure for building and testing. The diversity of tools they brought together to build this platform is very impressive.
Rather than fret about the valuation, it's useful to look at the big picture and ask what stripe has created: an incredibly valuable product in a massive market with lots of potential. It's also rapidly capturing the value it has created: its running ahead of projected revenue and has become the preferred provider for giant companies:

You can have a long discussion about the real or implied valuation, but the truth is this company has a great product and terrific momentum. Who's going to stop it from becoming the next paypal?

The Art of Cold Calling for Startups
3-D Secure doesn't always requests a 2FA code sent to your phone.

Most that I've used are fixed passwords (and they ask you for the character at certain positions) while others will ask you for personal information that is rather easy to obtain.

This is at least my experience. From the handful of cards I've used from different banks, only 1 used to send me a code via SMS.

There are tradeoffs, you have to balance security with usability. Generic payments failure messages are responsible for a lot of frustration in users, especially users who are paying online for the first time and have to go through complicated payments processes like 3D secure.

> money buys you the luxury to be you that decides what you do with your finite time

This is an illusion. Ultimately, you have to choose what is a priority in your life. There will be moments, many of them, where you have to choose between a board meeting or making it to bedtime, or taking a business trip across the world or a weekend spent hiking with your kids.

If you choose too many of the latter, at some point your board will get sick of you, your executives will stop trusting you, etc.

If you're prioritizing the things that let you be the CEO of a company, you're necessarily deprioritizing the things that let you spend the most time with your kids.

The problem with "fuck you money" is that it also easily lets you fuck yourself.

> Facebook simply kills democracy for their own benefit.

Give me a break. It's not Facebook's job to tell the truth from the lies. They provide a social network, for profit. They are not a charity or a non profit. They sell ads. If "news filtering" aligns with their bottom-line they'll do it, if it doesn't, they won't, that's business.

Now to anybody who thinks he can control the internet and what people read/think/discuss I say good luck with that.

What kills democracy is people incapable of convincing others that they are being mislead/wrong without insulting them with all possible -ism . What kills democracy is people on both side being so extreme they just can't talk to each other anymore. Facebook isn't responsible for that. The lack of moderation on both political sides is, your politicians are.

People need to stop blaming Facebook for everything. Nobody is forced to use their platform , I don't have a Facebook and never go on Facebook.

Facebook's motto should be changed from 'connecting people' to 'connecting people to show only what they like'.

Is this what you think Facebook should be? Or what you think is a more accurate description of what Facebook is?

What would this look like in concrete steps? How do you manage bullying? Knowingly spreading misinformation and disinformation? What prevents Facebook from becoming one big flamewar? How do you decide how to confront contradictions? What about people who don't want to use Facebook for debate?

It's all well and good to make statements like The tradeoff they should be allowing is to allow people to see/confront contradictions. Else its not a debate. Nobody gains knowledge or new thoughts. No one progresses apart from Facebook. It's another thing all together to put in place the features that make this possible. I challenge you to put forth some concrete features that would address the concerns you have.
Yep, it would cost them to implement and maintain, and they have no financial incentive to do so.

His spin on how Google doesn't know who exactly uses their services got me fuming. But well, it's an interview from 2008, so before Android, Google+, and so on. So, let's give him benefit of doubt. But then he answers direct question about anonymity of the collected data with this golden quote: “I've never heard of any case of anybody's search getting expose by virtue of Google Search lose”, and it left me speechless.

This is amazing! I was thinking of this problem when I saw a friend making a stop-motion video. The steps are super repetitive and I asked him, "maybe an DeepMind Atari-style RL agent can learn how to do this?"

Yeah, so this is a pr stunt. However there are many really good startup scenes here in Europe in my experience. Stockholm is one of them: "everything" in the heart and kids departments taken care of. Lots of ambition and talent. Comparatively low vagues so less burn. Lacking VCs, but the startups that have made it invest a lot here (time and money and mentoring). Compared to the craze in sf, i would say this is the perfect place to start a small and successful business. In particular in the b2b domain. So, if you can live with being well off and not insanely rich, and looking to move out of the us - you should give Stockholm a chance.

Hardly any different than fanatic religions. Even the KKK gets freedom of speech and assembly. I think the problem with digital walled gardens is when the filter totally prevents critical thinking and sometimes even the ensuing cognitive dissonance. Most will resolve the dissonance via withdrawal, not changing their minds. But even withdrawal is better than escalation.

If the walled garden makes it easy for people to confuse belief and knowledge, it's a problem.

If people with kooky beliefs are repressed, it's also a problem.

Nobody is forced to use Facebook, but the fact is that for a vast number of people it represents the main source of news. Which, if this source can be easily gamed, is a problem. Since how do you “convince others that they are being misled” if the “alternative” media, plenty represented in their news feeds, discredit the traditional, trustworthy media first?

> Maybe they are written by non-parents or their children are much easier

To be frank, the article tips are pretty sound and well-accepted, including from specialists who deal with much more difficult children then you and me on a daily basis.

First point, there's a tendency to see one's kids as special, be it especially gifted, or difficult, or an astonishing critical thinker for their age. It's quite understandable, since we have an infinitely deeper relationship with them than with any other kid. Secondly, it's much more difficult to deal with relationship issues when you are involved in them; that explains why you can often clearly see what's wrong in others' relationships (parent/kids or S.O.), but yours always seem more complicated by several order of magnitude. And thirdly, we can also find it quite irritating to be given some basic tips when we are experiencing hell and we feel like we are so past that kind of "pop psych". It's like, "Do you think we've not tried that already?".

Of course, a few tips are no magic bullet (sorry for the cliché), and sometimes the problems are just too serious, but on the whole they just deliver, to the surprise of many parents when they see it used successfully by specialists. I'm not one of them but I know a few, and I personnally use the "give them a choice" tip and if done correctly, I have found it to work very, very well--for parenting and in life in general.
My math says $190 with 1 URL in a request or $38 with batching.
If you allow your kid to get away with the 3rd option, then your kid now knows that your choices aren't genuine. None of these kind of methods work if you let them know that when you say there are two alternatives there really are three.

And I've seen this work often enough when we've had friends of my son come over that we often see act up around their parents, but that will try that shit once with us and then follow our sons cue once they see that all they achieve is getting ignored, that I tend to think that whether this works or not is more often down to follow-through.

That doesn't mean it's a one size fits all solution. You do need to adapt what kind of options you present, and how you respond if they try to push the boundaries - kids are not stupid; if you keep offering "options" when they know there are other alternatives that are on the table if they say the right things, then they'll try to challenge you for it.
I've had this on in the background as a nice-screensaver of sorts for a few weeks now; I'd say it spends 1/8th of its time showing that 'back soon' screen.
You're projecting your own reasonable beliefs onto the article. It really was as stupid as SiVal said.

It follows the rules of political correctness: Any evidence supporting a taboo idea must the denied. Any advantages of a taboo practice must be denied.
Counterintelligence people trying to build careers.

Suppose the US government database says the US drone program in Pakistan is classified top secret and she did not have official permission to speak about it. Except that everyone who is anyone knows about it. So the difference between how the US wants something to be classified and how secret it actually is allows FBI to say she talked about things without permission, when her bosses in State know she didn't tell anyone anything they didn't already know.

This is not a real choice but a simple manipulation aiming to provide the illusion of choice.

The purpose of parenting is not to control the children but to support them in learning themselves and the world.

Human beings are intelligent and wired for success. It doesn't take long before we start realizing the difference between choices that don't matter to us and ones that do.

If you're looking for parenting practices that support self knowledge in a collaborative and respectful environment, I recommend "Raising Our chikdren, Raising Ourselves" by Naomi Alford.

Offering fake choices does not respect the intelligence nor dignity of human beings.

And, we need to acknowledge that manipulation is probably a better approach than psychological abuse (time outs) and threats to a child's physical safety (spanking).

I detest this punycode thing and all this unicode domain name thing too. They're difficult to input, and when they are not, they are some random xn--qeiaa which does not mean anything and makes me fear clicking. Why would anybody with a sane mind would use an incomprehensible and untypeable domain is beyond me, given also all languages today have a latinisation of some sort, and most languages use latin alphabet anyways. And WRT emoji domains, well, that is a joke.
Nah, you just plan better and around a life that doesn't involve a ton of time in the car. Drop off the kids and then shop right after, or hit the store on the way home from work, or let the kids take the bus. Fewer extracurriculars for them but I assume since it's the country there's plenty of other stuff to do.

What IS nice is that the car time tends to be long like you said, 20 minutes, 40 minutes, which is more efficient energy-wise and for wear and tear than a bunch of little 5 minute trips.

You have to live a place that's right for you. I'm perfectly fine not leaving the house for days on end, there's plenty to do around here. Some of my friends would go crazy if they didn't have someplace to go every night. If you're the latter kind of person, country living is probably not going to agree with you! The same is true vice versa -- how do I go to Costco on my bike!? ;)

I'm in a lucky position to be able to choose the tools I use at work. For certain parts, Rust's been already a great help and right now I wait tokio and hyper/tokio more than I waited for Super Nintendo when I was a child. They will be an enormous help when refactoring the current services. I'm pushing myself to learn more so I could be helping with these projects.

That said, thank you for the whole Rust team. It hits the sweet spot being fast, not eating so much memory, being pleasure to write and having amazing tooling around it.

>It's not Facebook's job to tell the truth from the lies.

No its not. They need to show all articles to the people that form bubbles is the point here.

> They provide a social network, for profit.

yes, but their influence on the world politics and emotions cannot be ignored simply because they are a for profit company. Business is simply not an excuse to separate people in bubbles.
>Nobody is forced to use their platform

Do you really think that everyone decides on how they should use facebook before they do? No.
People are not blaming FB for everything. Only about forming bubbles that can bring about significant social changes for humans.

I'm not really worried about Trump but for anyone dying or suffering because of his decisions, FB has a huge part in that. There's no denying in that.

Berlin is a pretty excellent place if you're after a compromise b/w QoL and business. The tech scene is 50%+ expats and the mixture does wonders for company culture. It's also quite easy to connect with people and do freelancing, and I know many people fluidly joining and leaving different teams – doing freelancing for some, joining for equity at others, and sometimes groups form for exciting ad-hoc collaborations without an immediate profit motive.

Berlin doesn't have an much of an industrial base, though. It was an enclave during the 40 years where most of the large manufacturing companies grew and it was impossible to do so from here. Siemens, for example, moved to Munich after 1945. So it may depend on the industry you're targeting. For some (mobility, politics, web, environment) Berlin has gotten more attractive in the last years, with companies sometimes opening offices to connect with the tech scene.

Large companies are obviously more conservative, but the differences are minor compared to their international peers. Bureaucracy tends to be much less of a hassle as people make it out to be.

Calling out something for "political correctness" (or any one of another dozen or so convenient shorthands for political footballs) is a lazy argument. I'm sure there are things you disagree with in the article. What are they? Why? Do you have something more to add to the point SiVal made? Personal experience? References to research? Add something constructive to the discussion.
I simply dont know answers to all these questions!!

And quite frankly their top executives have to be worried about that. Not us.
