Which is still not safe enough, and in effect can be used to access any global variable as described in the OP article.

Rust formatting is done by macros - which expand at compile time and accept only string literals. This makes it impossible to pass user input to format!(), println!() and their ilk unless the end-user can access your compiler, in which case you have a much larger problem.
Unbelievable how far the mainstream media has fallen. Wapo's false russian hacking grids and now this.

There is a definitely antipattern that comes from mathematics where variables are cryptic in an effort to look like math, and also I believe to try and show off how smart your are. However, in some domains, the single letter variables become standard. In IR, w means word, d means document, D means the document corpus, and the like. Of course, w sometimes means "weight" when applied to a x, which maybe mean an document d.

It's a damn mess.
really? you took the time to write that as feedback for this project, and couldn't think of something more constructive to say. How about "I was put off by the negative tone. I see what you were going for there, but it came across as too strong for me."
Yes, but companies probably shouldn't have the right to market those poor investments, which is what the pre-crowdfunding rules said: you're entitled to start a company of any conceivable viability, and you're even entitled to collect investments for that company from non-accredited investors, but you can't offer (market) those investments to the general public without significant financial disclosures.
You might try reading sometime. It's a useful skill. I wasn't valorizing anything. I was responding to a comment that didn't understand why denser city schools could cost more per pupil than suburban schools.
It's dark and possibly off color but it could be a decent satirical short story.
Not the OP, but I do, in that I think that the piracy concerns do still exist. PS4 piracy is effectively impossible, and that's a very powerful argument for the platform holder to continue locking it down. One that both game developers and other application providers appreciate the control the platform provides; controlled platforms like phones and consoles are the only places that most people ever see YouTube ads, for example.
It's not so much punishing, as letting them live (or die, as the case may be) with the consequences of their choices. Not being a donor means less donor organs available. Those go first to registered donors, and then to the non-donors.

It sounds harsh at first, but from every angle I look at this, I can't really find anything unreasonable about it.
VC funds could be traded on the stock market. They aren't because (a) most VC funds don't reliably beat the stock market, and (b) the ones that do aren't looking for a huge influx of new investors; they're selective about their LPs.
This is a classic vanity deep-learning framework that Intel built due to NIH syndrome. It's like DSSTNE. Doomed to be abandoned. I can't a worse way to position a deep learning library than to say: this only works on CPUs. When you look at Intel's track record with software, especially their Trusted Analytics Platform this year, BigDL's prospects are poor. I'm just waiting for IBM to copy this move and come out with yet another deep learning lib: YADLL.

Aside, why again do we have so many "intelligence" agencies anyway?

Anyone else getting sick of the Russian meme? It's beyond crying wolf now.
I know that, but why does the article say CCC33? Is it the 33rd annual CCC? Weird that the article didn't use 33c3 as well.
its perfectly rational if it increases sales, there are indications this is the case with PC piracy, especially with titles that would otherwise lack exposure.

Its also rational if it allows them to move away from custom designs entirely, and save a truckload of money, more than they lose to the nebulous spectre of "piracy".
While there is no way I'd use this service - I value my privacy to an abnormal degree and am not interested in a hard copy of my journal - I'm baffled by the negative feedback so far. This service clearly is not for me. But to say that it is therefore a bad service is logically inexplicable. Do people not have the imagination to conceive of a situation in which (for some) amusing negative rhetoric may have a marketing value? Is it so hard to find something to admire in the audacity of this idea? I have no use for menstrual cups, but I wouldn't scream "But I don't even menstruate!" in a thread started by someone trying to sell them.
So I think there's a burden on advocates of pure ANN to explain why our core intelligence or "formal logic" is in fact independent of this pre-programming.

That's a fair question, and I take no position on it. My take on ANN's is that they are useful tools. I'm not particularly interested in the degree to which they accurately replicate how the human mind works. I assume, perhaps too quickly, that the analogy is pretty close, but I admit that I can't prove that.

In either case, I still feel relatively confident that formal logic could emerge on top of a sufficiently complex ANN. One thing I don't know off hand, which would be interesting, is whether or not any specific research has bee done on proving or disproving that assertion.
Just stay out of Canada, to be honest. Our country's best is anothers country's worst.
our brains already have programmed from the moment we step into the world; we obviously aren't anything close to a blank slate.

I believe that this statement dismisses the fact that humans have plenty of time to train their brains before the birth based on multiple sensory inputs.
Ask HN: How to Fix Apple Watch Build Lag?
I'm currently building an app for WatchOS but the build process from XCode to my device is painfully slow. Sometimes it will take up to 5 minutes to run a single build and get to interface navigation on the wearable. My machine is relatively new and has no trouble with any other development or building standalone iOS apps (no watch app) to the device.

Does anyone have any tips on how to speed up this process? I select my WatchKit app as the target and build to iPhone + Apple Watch. This development lag is really killing my productivity, and I wonder if this is a bottleneck in the WachOS app ecosystem.
I believe the JAR is crap work and doesn't contain any real evidence Russia was behind this. I also believe Russia was behind this.

I'm also inclined to believe that mmaunder's blog post is a bit of posturing, but this is kind of what people do in this industry--hop on a hot topic, try to publish first, try to get clicks. Sigh.

Feel a bit of hay fever coming on.

Depends on what you mean by "Do I have the right to clean out your parents bank account and get them to get a second mortgage on their house..."

If they decide to invest in something and have to do those things to get cash and it goes bad, oops on them.

If you commit fraud and get access to their financials and clean them out, oops on you.

We give a lot of leeway for people to solicit support of new inventions and ideas. There also happens to be a lot of pyramid schemes and similar get rich quick scams.

I don't have a fool proof way for seeing a scam from a score. If a kickstarter has specific data, date targets, shows they've done some work and made connections, I am more inclined to have a go.

If someone is saying "Get your friends to sell tupperware, you'll be rich in no time!" with little detail otherwise, I'll laugh and say no thanks.

Would you consider a PC as an 'open' console for this context? If not, what would differ?
I also checked the web archive for web shell download page [1]. It turns out that the notice with the text "Made in Ukraine" appears in version on August 31, 2015 [2] but is not present at earlier versions.

The forum thread [3] shows that the software has been developed at least since 2011.

I also looked through the code of a web shell. The code is written to be compatible with PHP4 and has some complicated parts, like building a zip archive by bytes. It has a lot of fallback methods, for example if some PHP functions are not available or not enabled, it would try several other ways to solve the task. I didn't like the style (a lot of two-letter variables, HTML and PHP code mixed together, hard to read and maintain). It looks like it was written by one person, but it would take some time, not a project one can write in a week. I guess the motivation for developer was to prove that he could write a better web shell than others.

Here is a link to a formatted source code [4] if anyone would like to see it and maybe learn some PHP4 programming tricks.

No they wouldn't; in fact, if they attempted to claim that a demand for payment for a private presentation was "extortion", it might actually be their organization that ended up with legal liability, since that sounds an awful lot like per se commercial defamation.

You can't "threaten" someone by refusing to give a presentation to them.
The standard delivery apps like UberEATS have a decent selection of healthy options near where I live / work. Sometimes I'll order lunch and dinner together then reheat the dinner later to save paying a second $5 delivery fee.

Is that an option where you live?
Facebook had a great deal of insight into Instagram's growth due to Facebook Connect. They could see internally how many people were signing up for Instagram, how many people from their networks they were inviting and connecting with, and other indicators of activity.
This is neat. My biggest complaint with Amazon these days is there's just so much noise on the site. For any given search I expect like half the results not to be serious ones. Even when you filter for just prime, there are tons of edge cases like the mini version of a thing will be prime but the regular version is not, or only one color is prime, or sometimes the item is clearly more expensive than in a store so you're paying the full consumer cost of 2-day shipping even though it's prime, sometimes the item has changed slightly but still includes the old reviews which are now misleading, etc. In some ways these are nitpicks, but Amazon have set the bar so high that now I expect the magical experience that I get with Amazon-fulfilled items for everything on the site.

Anyway I feel like amazon would be even better if these low quality listings were moved off to a separate site which was explicitly 3rd-party (whether from businesses or individuals) similar to Ebay. And then the main site would have "official" stuff where amazon does more quality assurance on the listings and it's all fulfilled by them and Prime. (I also think that better curation like this is necessary for purchasing through Echo to really catch on at least for me, there are way too many gotchas in Amazon listings that I still feel like I need to actually focus and look carefully through the listing before I buy anything).

My idea is obviously very different than this Bangalore-only product but there's a glimmer of a separate 3rd-party only site here and I hope Amazon evolves in that direction.

So you would rather limit the oppertunities of the poor, rather than allowing them to make a choice about their own bodies that you personally disagree with?
The established home owners have placed a thicket of restrictions on building houses and apartments and condos that maintains prices at a very high level. There is a land shortage, but densification is battled = only those that have houses can afford them at the proper cost ratio. New buy couples have to pool income and pay 60% or more of their income to get into a place. Even rents = huge. There are many houses run as tekki bunkhouses with 2 people per room in a 6 room house and the city wants them all out.

You can prove this concept with mathematics.

1. Select an arbitrary NFL game being played in the first week of season.

2. Email a sufficiently large ( > 131,072) group of people, telling half of them that Team A will win. Tell the other half people that team B will win.

3. The game will necessarily yield a loser. (To account for ties, tell your audience team N will not lose, instead of will win)

4. The emailed people who received the correct prediction become the remaining pool, and those that received the incorrect prediction are no longer involved in this exercise.

5. Repeat steps 1-4 for the first 16 of the 17 weeks of the NFL season, always retaining the half of the pool who received the correct prediction.

6. After the 16th game, since you started with a sufficiently large pool, you will have sent the correct predictions for all 16 games to a nonzero number of people.

7. This nonzero number of people, if they have paid attention, will be forced to believe that you can predict the winner of the 17th game, and will be willing to give you ridiculous amounts of money to obtain that 17th prediction.

In their eyes, you can predict the future, but all you did was apply successive approximation, which is how many analog to digital converters work.

The same tactic works in reverse, you simply need to keep the people paying attention to the incorrect predictions long enough. I'll leave the most recent example of this phenomenon as an exercise to the reader.
"Grizzly Steppe" is the US intelligence codename for an operation they believe that the Russian intelligence service executed.
Ridiculous. You have a moral right to refuse to enter into an employment contract that obligates you to respond to emails out-of-hours. You do not have a moral right to prohibit business owners from offering employment terms that include an obligation to respond to emails out of regular work hours.

Once again, demagoguery wins over human rights. And people wonder why Europe's economic growth rate has steadily stagnated over the last forty years. The answer is social (demagogic) democracy.
Can you restrict an application's permission at a granular level. For example can you deny an app your GPS location while allowing it to access your contacts?

I was always puzzled by Python's insistence to forego string interpolation until the latest version.

Runtime string formatting, even if done safely (e.g. .NET's String.Format() which doesn't have property access AFAIK), can still cause unexpected exceptions at the very least, and suffers from inferior performance.

Wow, this is way better than eBay. And the fees are so small, it's hard to believe.
I see their point, but this is exactly what I'm trying every day to prevent at work (at least to a certain degree). Way too many people use complex spreadsheets for business critical tasks where other tools are better suited.

If the concept of shareable libraries of function sheets become a reality, we're likely to end up in a scenario where corporate IT maintains one software suite, while the end-users supposed to use that suite ends up using a bunch of spreadsheets instead, but with no quality control and a backup/VCS resembling <filename>.backup.xlsx, <filename>.working.xlsx, <filename> (copy).xlsx, etc....

Replying here to your other reply since you can't nest that deep.

I know there have been some changes on the G5 so I'm not clear how that works.

With the G4 the Dexcom CGM acts as a proxy to the phone. So when everything is working correctly I get two alarms. So this gives me a certain level of redundancy. Anyway it works for me well enough that I can get a full night's sleep. For years I had alarms set to wake me up several times during the night.

[EDIT]

Also, responding to your question about the phone being louder than the Dexcom. The phone is an order of magnitude louder than the G4.
Does the artificial pancreas only produce insulin when blood sugar rises, or does it also secrete digestive juices and sodium bicarbonate? If the former, then it's surely not desirable yet to exchange a healthy pancreas for it. Similar to taking out the gallbladder if you don't have any stones. Digestion just works better with the real deal.

Who exactly has proposed starting a war with Russia or anything remotely resembling that? Certainly not the incoming US president, who has been remarkably consistent in praising Putin, currently denies the attribution of the hacks, and during the election was quoted encouraging Russia to do more hacking. Not that it matters, but even the hawks have not called for military action, at least in any way connected to the hacking; there may be some stuff related to Russia's aggression in Ukraine and intervention in Syria, but that's different. You're attacking a strawman.
That was a beautiful thing. Thanks for posting that. Made my day.
The people who write these articles almost always live in California or New York City. I just have to laugh.

Move to any major Texan city, any major Floridian city -- really any city in "The South" -- and the situation is much different. There are tons of great properties for unsubsidized, lower class purchasers. Seriously, zillow downtown Nashville TN. You can find great deals for the poorest amongst us.

People in (sorry to say) liberal cities have such warped, contradictory views of housing that it blows my mind. "We need more transport, we need more subsidies, we need X!" No, what you need to do is to let go. Let housing take care of itself. All of these schemes have contributed and will continue to contribute to the eviction of the middle and working class tenants.
Close. I wasn't claiming that it was principled. I was claiming that it's what they stumped on in course to their leadership positions. Reversing themselves on those positions violates the narrative that they've been crafting, which probably has negative political consequences.
Yes, because they are locked down for other reasons too, such as the fact that they are sold at a loss, with the assumption they are used for gaming and thus can recoup the loss.
Well yeah, I certainly wouldn't say someone who opted in but turned out to be ineligible for whatever reason should be deprioritized like someone who didn't opt in (or opted out). The point is just to get as many people to opt in (or not opt out) as possible to increase the overall supply.
On a related note, what was the outcome of the claim that North Korea hacked Sony? I was never convinced by the evidence presented but it seems to be something people generally believe was true.

There is 100-200 billion galaxies. The estimated number of stars in the universe is between 10^22 to 10^24. Each star on average has more than planet in orbit. That means its at lest 10^22 planets. 10000000000000000000000. Whats the probability we are the only one with intelligent life on it?

We actually have not, for the last 80 years or so, given a lot of leeway for people to solicit support of new inventions and ideas. We've allowed people to:

a) Sell (or pre-sell) inventions --- but those sales logically offer only the capped upside of the product itself, and nobody will leverage themselves to get access to that upside.

b) Join as a part-time employee an affiliate sales program for an invention --- this sometimes does involve leverage (and when it does, that's when you see companies settling like Herbalife did), but there's also a time commitment that mitigates the risk.

c) Solicit investment from accredited investors who, by dint of substantial resources, are presumed to be sophisticated enough either to evaluate the investment or to not be subjecting themselves to existential financial risk by participating.

d) Solicit investment from the public after completing onerous compliance and disclosure programs.

What's being discussed today is something in between (c) and (d), where investments can be marketed directly to the public, to people we cannot presume to be sophisticated or financially secure, with virtually none of the disclosure and compliance requirements of a public company. It's reasonable to be skeptical of this.
