Yeah I dabbled super briefly with VR development and what I actually struggled with is how annoying it is to have to keep taking off and putting on the HMD to do iterative development. I really want something I can keep on my head and flip it down into view.

The weirdest psychological effect of going in and out of VR like that for me was a couple of times I turned to look at my scene while not in VR expecting the item I was editing to be there. A little like that split second after waking up from a dream and expecting something from the dream to have actually happened.

While you're probably right, it could be something very different. It could be running a custom GUI on NetBSD or something. How it competes is unknown.

Phone, sms, camera, email and web browsing are the essentials.

Everything else, FB, Instagram, Reddit etc that are usually done in apps on Android, they can be done with a decent browser.

And in many cases, you could potentially pass that stuff off to the cloud. Heck, voice recognition, AI and Hootsuite.

Holopoint, Sword Master VR, Audioshield are some of the more physically intensive titles. Something like Onward is not intense exercise but will get you kneeling etc. instead of just standing. Even standing and doing things with your hands is better than sitting and playing a non-VR game.

> you'd probably be better off hiring 50 year old straight white men who vote Republican and have been at it since the days of Netscape.

Yeah, but look at where Netscape is now. Why would I trust them?

I'm serious—I've worked for a lot of 50-year-old straight white men who wouldn't vote for anyone left of Kerry and have a resume of mediocre but famous companies, and they're genuinely not good at their jobs. Unless their job is making more mediocre but famous companies, of course, which I'm starting to suspect.

> Massive market inefficiencies exist in hiring. Zigging where your competitors zag is likely to pay off more than following the trend.

I think you're overestimating how many companies are genuinely putting effort into hiring women. Are you getting your data from news articles instead of walking around companies and looking at who's actually employed? The people that are zigging are those who are honest about trying to hire women / minorities instead of just looking for media attention.

> I don't think this is obvious to the general public.

My point was that I don't think it's obvious to the general public, either, that they can have any expectation after their key is compromised. Forward secrecy, some of them might have even heard about, particularly in the present climate where ssllabs is requiring it for its A grade.

> More importantly, this implies that the victim knows their key has been compromised.

I threw in some talk about my and the general public's expectations about the scenario where an endpoint's key is compromised, but I don't think I included knowing it actually happened among these expectations. The rootkit scenario which I expect as most common compromise (endpoint machine utterly compromised) kind of implied the user is none the wiser.

I'm not sure there's anyone out there that expects an Amiga guru meditation style alert saying "Your private key has been compromised!" to appear.

> The vast majority of key compromises are operational screwups with data disclosure, they generally do not lead to arbitrary code execution.

This is honestly surprising.
> Have you ever had to explain to someone that a java out of memory error had nothing do with the fact that linux is using otherwise idle memory to buffer i/o and that they're misreading top output?

I've not seen a professional developer be confused about Linux using otherwise idle memory to buffer, no. I have seen that with sysadmins who mostly look after Windows boxes and were somewhat unfairly dropped in at the deep end.

I've seen JVM heap OOM errors be caused by both object management issues and applications that would legitimately benefit from larger heap sizes. Many, many times.

I think I'd fall off my seat if I saw a sysadmin use JMX to find an issue. I did see a security guy (so not really a sysadmin, but he was doing a related job) use strace once. He was remarkable enough to have his own Wikipedia page.

This will happen eventually. That which is unsustainable will not be sustained. I hope it will happen the "easy way", through popular votes in the seceding areas, but that will depend very much on the attitudes of federal officials at that time. Also it will probably depend on which areas secede first, and why they are popularly understood to have chosen to secede.

One possible sequence:

1) Trump fever sweeps Rs to power in 38 state legislatures two years from now.

2) Those legislatures pander to morons by passing a Constitutional Amendment barring those without physician-issued certificates of femininity from women's restrooms.

3) Millions of Californians take to the streets in protest for weeks at a time, unable to accept life under what comes to be called "wrong-partheid".

4) Desperate business owners cast about for some way to get everyone back to work, and hit upon secession. A plebiscite is called, and with 90% of California citizens voting, every county except Modoc and Lassen vote to secede. Those counties petition Oregon for admission, but are turned down and have to join Nevada instead. Then Las Vegas has a vote to secede from Nevada, but last-minute distributions of maps illustrating where the water comes from cause secession to fail.

At this point, Trump could send in the Army to enforce the Union, but I really hope he doesn't. If he did, many soldiers would refuse the order, and many generals would push for some other solution. Perhaps California will bribe Trump with some real estate deals. They can write it into their new constitution to make sure it's legal.

After that I would hope for many more secessions. This nation needs to be drastically shrunken to put all the lobbyists out of business.

I don't want to share anything that goes on my face with anyone in the office I work with. Just passing one around the conference room to each of the execs during your pitch should make that obvious pretty quickly.

I don't see VR as a useful replacement for video conferencing. You don't get any more body language and arguably less facial cues than standard video conferencing. If an engineer is getting sent somewhere, it's typically because they need to physically interact with something, which you also don't get with VR. For designers, I suspect the low resolution and inability to import and (especially) edit whatever designs they're looking at would prevent VR from being useful also.

> the programming language used to represent a computer program has nothing fundamentally to do with whether it can be verified

That's not true. The design of a language can make it easier to verify with respect to certain properties. For example, it is much easier to verify that a typical Python program does not dereference dangling pointers than a typical C program.

It is true that open source does not help as much as some of its adherents like to think. But that doesn't mean that it doesn't help at all, and it is certainly not true that it cannot help substantially in principle even if it does not help much in current practice.
He's pledged to reverse all of Obama's "illegal" executive orders... and I assume that, being a Republican, he considers all of them to be illegal.

Trump may not do so, but the Republicans seem to want to dismantle Obama's legacy as thoroughly as possible, and blot him and the effect of his presidency from history like Akhenaten. There would probably be a political cost to pay if Trump didn't reverse it, just on principle.

> At the same time, no one should be screwed simply because they aren't good at negotiation

Why is that?

You get screwed everywhere in life if you don't have, at a minimum, mediocre negotiation skills.

Craigslist, car buying, house shopping, gardening services, plumbers, painters...

Heck, even the grocery store has room for negotiations in some cases - "Come on, I only have this one bag of cat food, can you ring me up here in the cosmetics department instead of me standing in that big line?".

We should encourage people to get better at negotiations, and not just because they might get paid more... rather, you will succeed in life more and will be far more confident in yourself and your own abilities.

Life is one big negotiation.

Well there is the salesman example in the article for one, I find the checker board problem much easier to wrap my head around. On a checker board you have 64 squares, half are red and half are black, everywhere a red touches a black square is a junction point. How many junction points are there? Now that you know how many junctions there are how many different ways can you lay out those red and black squares to make that same amount of junctions? What if 3/4 of the squares were black? My understanding is that the Dwave system will produce a number of answers that are close to correct, and a majority that are correct (probably). Things start getting really tricky when you make the squares into cubes and run the problem again, or if you want to get really bent add a fourth dimension to the problem.

You're using a word, "easier", that is keeping us off the same page. I agree that Haskell programs are easier in many senses to verify than PHP programs. But our field does formal methods verification of assembly programs, for instance by lifting them to an IR.

Which is funny, considering how often people argue about VCS systems.
I wonder if you could run a paid study with a proper control group. Perhaps have everyone pay to participate, administer the treatment to half of them, and at the end of the study refund some amount of money (all? all + interest?) to the ones who received a placebo. That way they've only donated their time.
Without trying to defend or criticize the ACA, I would just say that this is too simplistic of a comparison. How much of your general taxes are redirected towards healthcare, for example?

One of the reasons that the ACA is broken from a financial point of view is that the Democrats didn't want to simply raise general taxes and redistribute to fund the program. Instead they played all sorts of games with the 'individual mandate' to try to force participation without 'raising taxes'. But this is just a way for healthy individuals to avoid participating in the insurance pool -- which is a great way to destroy the actuarial basis of insurance.

It is entirely possible to be for nationalized health care and still think the ACA is structurally unsound and needs to be replaced.
Blood is renewable, and is already a buyable/sellable item. Discovering a new use for it would simply boost demand.
> LaserDiscs, interactive TV, VRML (yes, "VR"), 3D TVs, Google Glass, and (probably) smart watches.

I've lived through all of those and this generation of VR feels like a different thing.

I'm normally reticent to buy into bleeding edge tech. (I'm a 'wait til the price drops' kind of guy) and I opened my wallet for a new PC and a Vive within 3 weeks of borrowing a DK2.

This hype is enthusiast and consumer led - and not in the way Laserdisc had it's "enthusiasts" - it's the kind of tech that makes people want to switch careers.

I think it's fortunate that VR has coincided with the rise of crowdfunding and the renaissance of indie devs. That is going to help see it through it's difficult early patch.

Male engineer at Lever here, and I can confirm that we don't make hiring decisions based on gender or gender presentation. It's not only highly illegal, but totally not the point of tracking diversity metrics.

The ultimate goal here is not to build a company with perfect representation of the general population, but to build a company which honestly evaluates and rewards the contributions of all its employees (because we believe that those kinds of companies do build better products, businesses, etc.) and you can't do that unless you're inclusive and consistently fair with everyone in the company.

A number like 50-50 gender balance doesn't mean that we've finished building that company (and no company is ever finished). However, an imbalance of gender or any demographic such as age, race, prior work experience (such as government, enterprise, startup), academic background, parental status, etc. at a company usually indicates that there's a blindspot or bug in a company's hiring or culture and it deserves a closer look.

I was there as a "grantee" (i.e. Scientist) so I don't know much about the contractor side of it.

On the user-facing side, it seems to be a Microsoft-heavy place (we got active directory accounts, etc. and had to log into one of the Windows machines in the cluster to change our password).

My interaction with the IT people was mostly asking for port forwarding / static IP reservations for some some of our computers that needed to be accessible from up North, and for that they seemed to forward those requests to Denver (where the contractor HQ is).
That's not true. It prevents replay attacks, as I said.
