So the screw over was that the company fetched 5 million instead of 10?

Assuming a 3-way split, 1.66 million versus 3.33 million each? He had to take a least a million dollar hit in that scenario, or did Facebook give him something else besides a job? Is a job at Facebook worth over a half a million dollars?

On the contrary, the ability for Apple to re-use and re-manufacture their products makes them more green. Apple computers tend to be recycled and resold for far longer than PCs (and their resale value is stupidly high for a tech product). I doubt that all-in-ones, and specifically the iMac, are usually just discarded as it's pretty easy to replace both of those things. I would be curious to see if you have any kind of support for that statement.

You seem like one of the "true believers" he talks about.

What do you do on a laptop that 802.11ac is too slow for? Or do you live on the NRQZ?

Gbit ethernet isn't that much faster than 802.11ac, so I'm really having a hard time thinking of a realistic use case here.

EDIT: wrote this before I realised that the wifi card this laptop ships with is particularly bad.
"Products that cause mothers to murder their infants in order to use them more, assuming they’re legal, simply cannot fail in the world."

It's basic marketing, appeal to the thought leaders. It's how Google marketed Chrome.

The other vendors were just playing catch-up, especially Microsoft.

Plus it was handy for their own devs and aligned with their strategy (make the web awesome because more web is more Google ads).
This actually a good argument toward shifting commenting into a paid subscription offering. Give access to the site free of ads and allow you to comment on articles.
Like clockwork, anytime there is a terrorist attack linked back to the extremist Sunni style Saudi Arabia exports and teaches in its Islamic centers we get some PR about how they are modernizing.
I can second this.
As I said, it's not impossible, nor is it difficult for technical reasons, it's just more difficult because there's more stuff to block, and you'll never find every little server setup by a few activists to access the network. With proper encryption (or even basic TLS to the server) it also becomes difficult to do deep packet inspection (which is hard to do in the first place). The example I gave before also still stands: Look at the last time Egypt tried this. They attempted to block email and SMS temporarily and various activist groups just setup their own servers to get around it. Not every random user can do this of course, but it's important that at least some activists can.
haha yeah I guess i should have been more precise with my wording. I'm currently prototyping a custom number system in julia, and obviously, the multidimensional array ops will not be backended in BLAS.
De Correspondent, a Dutch publication, their comments section is only accessible to paying members. They treat their subscribers as a community and usually an article ends with a question to the reader to discuss.

Their publisher has a typical Medium post about their strategy. As a subscriber I would say it works, unless the topic is already really controversial.

I thought that the way you dismissed a notification in macOS was to swipe it away (click/drag out to the side of the screen).
Microservices go beyond encapsulation in important ways, and regress in other ways.

Build/deploy/release cycles become independent with microservices, which can be great. Also you can write microservices in different languages.

But the APIs can become less rich. Try passing callbacks between microservices written in different languages. And it can be more of a pain to change APIs. And if there's any state to worry about, you need to manage that and maybe use a stateful protocol (which are harder to get right).
I don't think Latour's criticism of social theory applies to the causal closure of physics, or science's claimed exclusivity to describe fundamental ontologies; it criticizes the approaches of 20th century post-modernist critique.

Are you familiar with his follow-up, 'Reassembling the Social'? I'm not, but in reading a summary it seems to propose better methods for comparing ontologies and systems.
Good catch. I linked the 2015 model.
I don't like the idea of creating a procedure like so:

procA = procedure()

because it makes it harder for me to parse code. It must make it easier to implement the language though.

And the NPR comments section wasn't generally terrible, either. At least not on the articles I usually read. Still, I'd rather the money/time/energy required to properly maintain a comments section for NPR be spent on pursuits closer to their core purpose.

It's not just about more labour though. It's also about having a different kind of component, another supply chain to manage, different QA processes... on what's at this point a very much non-core product line.
My comment hasn't been removed. I don't know why it was flagged because I don't see how what I wrote violates the terms of use.

We can use words like bully and harass, but very often the victims feel absolutely terrorized, as described by the author of the Medium post that inspired these comments.

Unfortunately for bullies and harrassers, I'd wager that, at most companies, much more is done behind the scenes than in front of the camera.

I am ultimately responsible for those I promote, and I simpy cannot, both in terms of my conscience, and in terms of my career, promote people who bully and harrass others.

I don't want to promote someone who draws HR's attention, or, god forbid, a lawsuit, because it makes me look very, very bad. If it were to happen a few times, I'd probably be looking for another job.

Thus, it's just easier to dead end people because the reality is that bullies aren't more likely to produce superior work than anyone else. But this doesn't even matter because, even if a bully does produce superior work, I can just use words like 'temperment' and 'leadership qualities' in informal, closed door discussions and my manager will sign off.

Like many here, in addition to believing that bullying and harrassment is utterly repellant, I can't afford to do my job badly because I have a family and kids to feed. The people I protect - and it's not all women by any means - usually have families and kids to feed as well.
The medical system will disagree: all doctors should work 30 hours straight with no sleep, else they're not real doctors and slacking off.
I agree with you that the incident is clearly attributable to pilot error, maybe even incompetence. However when searching for details I came across this: https://flightsafety.org/asw-article/stop-stalling/

I am convinced that much of human error is due to bad user interface, especially in technical settings. I think it is an important lesson that both pilots failed to recognize (in a stressful situation):

1. the plane was in alternate law

The business about the fever is a myth. Fahrenheit's original fixed points were a mixture of ice, water and ammonium chloride, at 0, and normal human body temperature --- at 96. He then redefined it in terms of the freezing point of water and human body temperature, at 32 and 96, so as to have 64 degrees between them.

After his death in 1776, it was redefined based on the freezing and boiling points of water at STP, at 32 and 212 (a difference of 180). So in fact it uses the same fixed points as Celsius, and has for hundreds of years.

Also, you have Celsius and Kelvin backwards: Kelvin was originally formulated to use the same sized degrees as Celsius, not the other way round. Celsius was first. (Although Celsius is now defined in terms of Kelvin.) See also Rankine, which is the Kelvin equivalent to Fahrenheit: absolute zero is 0, the freezing point of water at STP is about 492, and boiling point is about 671.

Did you know that the original Celsius scale ran from 0 at boiling point to 100 at freezing point, i.e. backwards? It was reversed after his death. Fahrenheit didn't make that mistake!
I often see the argument that we should "get rid of most ads on the web in general", but have yet to see a reasonable proposal for what replaces that in a way that works for companies wanting to reach consumers with their products.

To play devil's advocate, it would be a huge loss to society if advertisements were no longer viable due to constant fraud.

Information would flow a lot less freely because then content providers would be forced to switch to directly charging for their content rather than giving it to you for "free + ads" as they do currently. It wouldn't just be "low value" content dropping off, "low value" is another individual value judgement.

It would become much harder to connect products and services or become harder to separate actual stories from long-form product placement.

I don't find much wrong with the concept of "advertising". I do take issue with certain types of "bad" or malicious ads, but I'm also generally not receptive to most advertising.

However, ads exist because they are effective at connecting users with products.
Most of the article is about GC being a set trade-offs. I don't think that's an elephant here. The official promotional wording around Go is being criticised for not acknowledging the drawbacks of the approach.
Doesn't matter.

It's a red herring because the question itself was a rate of change over time, for which the answer is given in a 1.0% range. Irregardless of whether you focus on U-5 (the reported statistic) or U-6 (the denier's statistic), it's still only about a -0.2% and +0.1% change, respectively.

Even if you did the math on U-5, you would still get the answer right for every of the 6 numbers.
An example: Matasano (I have no affiliation) is a well-respected security company. Their hiring process involves (or involved) taking applications from interested people with interesting resumes, sending them a textbook, and asking them to come back when they felt qualified.

I've seen this sort of outlook (usually without the textbook) across the board. Either a company will train people from scratch, or they want to see applicants with actual records of working security, finding and reporting vulnerabilities, or patching holes in OSS.

"Have a certificate" is nowhere on that list. It probably can't hurt for a candidate, but I certainly don't think it will bridge the gap from inexperienced to experienced the way an actual work record would.

Treating opiate addiction with suboxone (one of the most effective methods) is largely blocked by bureaucracy: http://slatestarcodex.com/2015/02/02/practically-a-book-revi...

"They are worried that suboxone, being an opiate, might be addictive, and so doctors might turn into drug pushers. So suboxone is possibly the most highly regulated drug in the United States. If I want to give out OxyContin like candy, I have no limits but the number of pages on my prescription pad. If I want to prescribe you Walter-White-level quantities of methamphetamine for weight loss, nothing is stopping me but common sense. But if I want to give even a single suboxone prescription to a single patient, I have to take a special course on suboxone prescribing, and even then I am limited to only being able to give it to thirty patients a year (eventually rising to one hundred patients when I get more experience with it). The (generally safe) treatment for addiction is more highly regulated than the (very dangerous) addictive drugs it is supposed to replace. Only 3% of doctors bother to jump through all the regulatory hoops, and their hundred-patient limits get saturated almost immediately."
That doesn't quite work if I'm not on the internet and its a pretty poor experience.
Mario run made 5 million in the first day, but it's a failure. And somehow the success of the NES classic means Nintendo is failing as well, because people are only buying it for aesthetics, not to play the games (source on that anyone?). WTF am I reading, this article is so delusional. If you don't like Nintendo or their strategies, that's fine, but they've kind of been knocking it out of the park lately compared to the last few years, it's a strange time to be saying they're doomed.

I was in a similar place but ended up getting a MacBook in addition to the custom PC. Most of my day-to-day work just feels more efficient with the Mac but I realized that it didn't make sense to rely on a laptop for gaming, video encoding, and media serving. I still love the Mac for Final Cut and all that, but I just had to change my workflow a little and now I get the best of both worlds.
What hourly rate range have you been seeing?
I cofounded Matasano, for whatever it's worth.

Having a certificate actually can hurt you, for elite jobs (it's not really going to hurt you if you're just breaking into the field).
This is rubbish, at least for my company, where we hire 2 Software Engineer IIs with H1B, so it's easy to reason about the numbers.

I was one of those 2 engineers until got promoted to a Senior a few months ago, and the number it reports for min and max are grossly inaccurate. My salary hasn't ever been nearly that low, I don't think any engineer of any rank in our company makes that little.

I think more than half of the FB users also use the app or facebook messenger, which gives them access to their phone number through app permissons alone. Additionally they have access to the contact lists of both apps and can correlate names and phone numbers from there. Even if someone doesn't use the FB app and hasn't listed his phone number in FB - if any friend has him as contact in FB and Whatsapp it's quite trivial to match the IDs.

Sure. There are different disciplines in information security. Application security broadly web, mobile and desktop applications. Application security is the easiest to start working with because, as another commenter said, it is ubiquitous. You can find bug bounties for most major tech companies and their application software these days, which means there is a quite a lot to practice with.
'Premium', which is to say how much more money security IT work pays than other IT work, on average.

Of course, it's still a bit of a silly comparison, because the distribution on "IT" is so wide that you don't learn much without bucketing further.
You sure twitter is a disaster area?

I work in one of the most controversial crypo fields out there - Bitcoin - and other than blocking dozens of people my experience on twitter is fine. Or put another way, the blocking/filtering tools work and let me focus on people worth talking too.

It's open discussion forums like reddit where my experience sucks; /r/btc is a trash fire.
Do you believe CFRG took so long to standardize EdDSA because of natural bikeshedding, or because the NSA worked to slow them down?
The problem with USB-C as "the one port to rule them all" is that it is impossible to produce a cheap cable and still meet the design spec. Even major smartphone manufacturers have been caught including underspec cables with their phones that damage one device or the other right out of the box. This isn't just limited to USB-A to USB-C cables, there are plenty of USB-C to USB-C cables that pose a potential threat when pushed to their power transmission limits.

USB-C was a great idea taken one step too far. USB-C would be perfect if it hadn't been saddled with the requirement to handle 100 Watts of power. That's an overkill requirement for a feature that wasn't demanded by anyone aside from OEMs looking to cut an additional charging port off the bill of materials.

"But Scotland voted overwhelmingly against Brexit. They wanted to stay in the EU."

I understand the naunces. I'm not making a point for or against.

I'm pointing out the 'political optics' of it.

Separatist parties are a strange beast. 100% of legislation has to be viewed under the eyes of separatism. All national legislation will be framed as 'oppressive' etc.. They poke, poke and poke until they find something that pisses people off. Then they run with it.

It's almost funny because often, they look laughably hypocritical ... their strategy has to be aggressive, but most of the time they look ridiculous to all but the hardcore.

In Canada, we had the 'block Quebecois' at the national level who are completely antagonist at the federal level. They yelled and screamed 'Quebec Quebec Quebec' at every single piece of legislation. Sometimes, there would be a kernel of truth, sometimes not.

What happens is that people get tired of it.
I've seen this strategy appear before in real-time situations where new allocations remain in a near-constant band: As long as you have enough memory to make it through one loop, you could use it as the defining strategy of your game engine or signal processor, at least w/r to temporary allocations.

I've also heard of GC algorithms using exactly this behavior for the nursery stage.
more to the point, is the difference between a job at facebook now, and taking a job at twitter for a few years before possibly joining facebook if he still wanted to, worth half a million dollars? it definitely wouldn't be to me, but then again he seemed to have a strong "facebook is the future; i need to be there" feeling that i have a hard time relating to.

The culture of medicine, at least at the physician level, is completely insane; it's so insane that describing its insanity is part of the reason I wrote "Why you should become a nurse or physicians assistant instead of a doctor: the underrated perils of medical school" (https://jakeseliger.com/2012/10/20/why-you-should-become-a-n...). Residents in particular have no power, and even physicians themselves frequently feel they have no choice but to match the death-march pace set by administrators or their most deranged colleagues.

My example is intended to be nebulously "Lisp". I did mean to mention in my comment that Common Lisp's packages help here (I'm usually frustrated in these discussions when people are always like "Lisp2 Lisp2 blah blah" but that's only part of the story, imo packages play a bigger role), so thanks for pointing that out. I did, however, mention that CL doesn't let you rebind standard names, though.

My point wasn't "Common Lisp (or defmacro) bad, Scheme good", or that you can't write hygienic macros in Common Lisp[1], though it appears that I've come off that way. My point is just that `gensym` alone isn't enough for hygiene (in all cases).

[1]: Another thing that doesn't seem to be understood well enough in these discussions is that hygiene is a property of macros, not macro systems.
I still see lots of partisan clickbait articles from Vice. Hopefully my sample isn't representative, but I doubt it's an anomaly.
That's not really what he's saying, though. He's saying he can't afford to sink a ton of hours into something with no economic upside. Speaking as a 40-something with a number of fixed expenses and steadily-shrinking free time, I can sympathize.

Keep in mind this comes after him saying he loves coding, loves algorithm coding games, etc. I read this as "I want to do this all the time, and the only way I can make that happen is by making it my day job."

I can definitely respect that, though I hope he's ready for the sacrifice I think a number of us probably made: once it's your day job, you might find that coding just for the sake of coding isn't quite as attractive anymore.

That said, I've considered myself lucky all my life that people have been willing to pay me for what I probably would've been doing anyway. I can't fault someone else for jumping on that train.
