This post is in particular about utilizing certain concepts from game theory to build new architectures. For example, it talks about adversarial networks where the problem is reduced to finding Nash equilibria between competing models -- a concept that merges game theory with neural networks.

The post is not talking about making a new paradigm primarily based on game theory concepts.
The silver lining in this exchange chain is that I got to download what looks like a great eBook on Cryptography 101 and a link for future reference. Thank you LVH.
It appears you're a sweetheart of these forums which explains the downvotes to which my reply is: https://twitter.com/tqbf/status/729050364788400128
Wow, you know, this is probably the most accurate conclusion. I've probably put about 20 or 30 ten mile trips on it, and the frequency of failure cropped up maybe every 5 trips.

I chalked it up to poor assembly by a new guy on a Monday morning.

Considering this model of assessment, I realize that department store bikes aren't measured with the same sort of warranty ratings as perhaps cars. Too bad bikes don't use the same sort of 100,000 mile power train warranty as a mark of quality or durability.
I have 4 monitors: laptop 14" screen plus 3 22" monitors. One of them is mounted vertically: perfect for Slack or longer pieces of code. I love this set up. You can find the monitors for cheap and it's much more flexible than just one TV. Additionally, I can rotate them so each is at a perfect angle for my eyes; can't do that with just one big TV.
I think multiple monitors is still better than one no matter the resolution, I personally run 3 monitors, and when working I have the one on the right always on email/chat, the one on the left switching between terminals and firefox, and the one in the middle on emacs or intellij depending on language.

With i3 I have keyboard shortcuts to move the focus to any monitor and/or to change workspace in any of them and/or to move windows between them, this seems more usable than a single monitor no matter what the resolution of it is.

If money was no object I think the best setup would be a 40" 4k in the middle, a 27" 1440p portrait on one side, and a 27" 1440p landscape on the other side, but I would rather have 3x27" than 1x40" any day of the week (and the 27" to be 1440p not to have to deal with scaling)
I love Vimperator - unfortunately, it's incompatible with e10s (multiprocess Firefox) and it is also completely dependent on the deprecated XUL. Replacing that would essentially be a ground-up rewrite[0].

It looks like Vimperator is likely not going to be updated to work with newer versions of Firefox, which is a real shame, because it works far better than any alternative I've found for either Firefox or Chrome. I even made my own with the new Firefox API to see if I could replicate the experience, but it's tough[1]. The WebExtension interface doesn't give the same level of control that XUL did, and without which it's hard to give the same feel of Vimperator.

If you can get hold of either Bruce Payett or Lee Holm's PowerShell scripting books, those are pretty canonical guides, as both of those guys were devs on the PowerShell team for years. On day one you should get familiar with the discoverability features built in: get-member, get-help, get-command, get-member, tab completion, get-alias, etc.
I kinda have a soft spot for sites like this that look like they were made in the 90's. Respect for the old web.
Doing a Peace Sign in Selfies Could Lead to Identity Theft
(I've never had this thought before) What if it is currently encouraged at the proper level, given its present value -- that is, exponentially discounting the future revenue.

Throw in uncertainty, and inability to judge quality work so far from the future, and maybe that justifies the low pay of many basic research jobs? Would be interesting to see an analysis of this across fields, countries, year, etc.
"His strategy of turning the WashPo into the HuffPo Insider but with a better rolodex and even less ethics seems to be going solid from a biz standpoint."

(Using a throwaway, because I don't like putting this kind of stuff on my main account.)

I'm an undergrad CS senior signed for a quant/programming job at a Wall Street trading firm after I graduate in a few months.

I have several friends from previous internships going to work at the same company after they graduate. None of them (nor me) matches the description you gave. Many of us are involved in research at the undergrad level, and no one is coasting by on the bare minimum. Some of these people are also not the sort of people who make any effort to network. The common thread seems to me to be a very strong theoretical and professional background.

Of course, this is with a sample size of 5 undergrads and 1 company, so what I'm talking about could be highly atypical.

Also, if you like doing the bare minimum, you're going to have a bad time in Wall Street, because they often have a bad culture of working 50-100 hour weeks (depending on the company). That's the cost of the more attractive compensation.
> Demand has shifted. Customer perceives a smart TV as more capable.

Also see "not accounting for the meddling of the marketing department" - not all things just "happen". And while you make good points about streaming (having to schedule yourself around broadcasts is a huge drawback, after all) TV getting "smarter" and them being the way they are are still not exactly the same thing.

>"Most poor people are concentrated within a few communities, and poverty often runs in families. Conversely, someone living on Cape Cod probably can't find a poor person within 20 miles or in their family. Should the brunt of care for poor people be born by others in or near poverty?"

By community I meant any arbitrary level of "distance" between the person needing help and the one willing to give it. Some will want to only take care of the people within their near community or family. Others will go out of their way to feed people in distant continents, as I'm sure some do right now. Heck, if there weren't people like that existing right now, then who in the world convinced governments to send aid to third-world countries? Noble politicians? I'm sure polls would answer that.

>"Many homeless have severe mental health problems. Those can make them quite annoying, or hostile, or otherwise unsympathetic. Would people give equally to all needy? And, if not, do you believe homeless people deserve assistance in correlation to their ability garner sympathy?"

That's not up to me to decide. That's up to those people that want to give to charity and help whatever type of needy person they want.

But if you ask me, I'd put orphans at the top. Does that make me an evil person for not prioritizing mentally-ill individuals that can't function in society? Depends on who you ask, but I'd say no of course. It's a complicated problem. I told you my preference above. Other individuals have other motives and preferences, just like some want to distribute their money equally (such as yourself?).

I generally do not read articles that provide data or uncover an insight if they are written by journalists.

Experts usually dont become journalists in their field. For example a writer for thr WashingPost are not usually experts in the implications of nuclear war, or psychological tendencies of humans.
There's always going to be garbage, but at least if all those mods that nobody remembers were open source, either the games or features could have new life instead of sitting in an empty room somewhere.
I feel like it will just get worse and worse.

No turn back possible anymore.

Maybe in fifty or hundred years we can talk about it again. For now. It will just get worse.
Stories can't be downvoted, only flagged. More likely it was lifted by the mods for being a good article, which I think it is.
It's definitely just from her perspective but that's not how it's written. The title doesn't say that. She says "mark my words" later. She notes that she's an advice columnist. Also...

> But once you’ve been married for a long time (my tenth anniversary is in a few months!), a whole new kind of romance takes over.

So I disagree; she's not just telling her story. She's trying to tell a narrative that this is how it is and that it's romantic. That being in the slog and not investing personal time in the husband/wife relationship is romantic. Everything she described could occur between two good friends. She writes nothing about how a wife might do her part to keep the romance going. She just describes how her husband keeps her version of romance going. There are two sides to everything.

Just recently I was out with a bunch of guys that have been married 15+ years, all with kids. 5/6 of them basically complained about not being appreciated (gratitude/attention/sexually) and being unhappy. Their wives are completely consumed by kids and they're not putting enough time and attention into the husband/wife relationship. It's sad. Just because you hit 10 years doesn't mean it's going to be sustainable for both parties. You don't just fall in line with the slog, esp. with kids and call it romantic. It takes hard work and great communication for the husband and wife to have a healthy, romantic marriage. Sometimes you have to say your needs/expecations aren't being met and you want to find a way to meet them despite the slog of everyday life.

I'll agree with the author that women see romance differently than men; that's precisely my point. I have a problem with the author pushing advice about keeping the romance alive in marriages that doesn't consider both parties. Both parties either have to see eye to eye on their definitions or understand the other side's perspective. I know that if I do extra chores around the house, my wife will get turned on and we'll both reap the benefits. If I see her doing chores, that doesn't turn me on. That's how we're wired. But let's not pretend like both sides see it the same way.

Men - pitch in more on tasks, be a better team player and indulge the mundane with your partner to be more romantic. I agree with the author here. Men can do more here.
Women - author doesn't talk about this at all. Basically it's still the more Hollywood romance stuff. Most men are not going to see romance as the slog she describes. That's an illusion.
The problem is that nothing stops people from taking out a loan or other offsetting contract, secured by those future promises.

Noise is a blueprint for building a protocol, so they're not quite the same kind of thing. If you think you'd want QUIC, you probably want TLS instead. Noise is for more bespoke applications that have a good reason why TLS can't be their transport protocol; I don't think it should generally be the first port of call for most applications.

Exactly, that's why I think this is a great pictogram: it makes it clear what it's supposed to represent, even though it has nothing to do with what a healthy landing looks like. A pictogram's job is to fit most people's conceptual model of what it represents while being simple and distinguishable, not to be an accurate representation of whatever it stands for.

This pictogram is simple (just a few shapes), it's easy to distinguish (e.g. from the pictogram for "departure"), and it fits most people's conceptual model of a landing (plane comes down from sky to earth).
I am head of development in my company. I make standards and learn others WHY. They soon all become groopies as they replace usual borring repetitive stuff that no engineer is worthy doing with something far more interesting and rewarding.

Since I work wiht N other vendors and their engineers on which I don't have much jurisdiction, I just do my stuff explaning why all the time and if they are any good, they will adopt it. If they don't, its typical that they suffer ineficiencies and I show them by doing their work that it can be done better and faster. Top managers notice eventually how efficent things can be. For example, when I want quick metrics on bunch of servers I just invoke flea rather then having to mess with nagios, zabix or friends. Look how readable that is: https://github.com/majkinetor/flea

On my latest project I use powershell to do everything - configure Solaris, install and oracle database, configure and install and manage weblogic servers etc. Powershell is wrapping bash/python/awk/whatever scripts and provides consistent interface for all service operations. Vendor engineers didn't initially want to do it and it turned out that what my company does in 10 minutes they do in an hour. Now they all want it.

The best you can hope in your situation is that the 'truth' will come out from your actions, but you will have to push it also, people are usually enjoying the comforts of technologies that they are experienced with especially with harsh dead lines.

Give it time, and try to get more influental positions. If nothing works, find suitable alternative, posh is not the only stuff in the world. If that is not possible, you don't need job that bad IMO.
Firms like Goldman Sachs and Merrill Lynch spend lavishly on Ivy League headhunting, tempting students with fancy dinners, promises of prestige — and, most importantly, the idea that there exists a safe template for their post-grad lives.

I didn't realize thy were pushing so hard.
By that I mean, given that artists and game developers are often underpaid and exploited, proprietary tools only exacerbate the situation because the artists are forced to pay whatever price the vendor names (even if the company buys the licenses, it just means less resources left to hire more people to alleviate the insane overtime). Independent shops or freelancers are especially at a disadvantage when they have to rely on expensive tools. Just because the business model for using Unreal is favorable now, that may change (and it certainly isn't favorable for people hooked on Autodesk products).

I understand that if no decent alternatives to tools exist, there is a cost-benefit justification for buying good software. But if artists and game developers are so passionate about what they do that they accept more work for less pay, why can't they be more passionate about FOSS? I'm passionate about FOSS precisely because it allowed me to explore and hone my creativity at a time when professional tools seemed well out of reach.

So... what other alternative ways to live your life did you discover? Love that idea!
Firstly this is a complex issue because from what I understand these papers validate and ensure quality in the publishing of the article. This is a value add because it filters the garbage found on the web and I for one don't want to see what has happened to the news e.g. fake and or poor quality being published, happen to science research.

However I may have a solution that suits the organization's need for funds which they need to continue to do their valuable work and also satisfies funders and that is to publish a totally unrefined version in a bulk WikiLeaks manner and then publish their properly edited and refined article within their magazine.

Not a very knowledgeable guy on the topic, but this could be a great way to retain the primary value and also satisfy other stakeholders.

To those who think their role as gatekeepers is no longer valid, I have to wonder what planet you are on that you don't think independent journals that compete are not a valid vehicle for ensuring claims are at least minimally justifiable AND that paying those professionals to do that kind of work is somehow wrong. Such a silly way of thinking.
I wonder why they didn't use a in-memory store for deduping. Using something like a bloom-filter could solve their problem it seems.

Confirmation (bias) of my creeping suspicion that the WashingtonPost has been picking up speed in the race to the bottom.
I'm using a single 32" 4K monitor and it's perfect. Just the right size. I personally don't like using multiple displays, you want to have one centered which means the other one is too far away. Also, two widescreens is just too wide.

One benefit of having two displays is obviously having two logical displays, which can be useful sometimes. e.g. for fullscreening a video.
I've used 1 27" 1440p monitor for quite a while. When combined with a laptop display, it gives me plenty of screen real estate. I typically split the 1440p display into 4 tiles (1280x720) using SizeUp.

Recently, I've been using a 27" 4K display at work. I mostly just run it in HiDPI 1440p (or one or two notches higher than 1440p). It looks prettier, but is functionally equivalent to a 27" 1440p.

I've found that displays larger than 30" require me to turn my head, which is non-optimal. Ultrawide monitors are especially bad (tried a 34" curved Samsung for a little while). Ditto for multiple 27" monitors.
How do poor people get a roof over their heads if there aren't any landlords? It's ridiculous to expect everyone to have $10,000s in cash to get a mortgage before they're allowed to have a place to live.

my setup: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/559047/doupe.jpg

middle: 5K, iMac (mid 2015)
left: 4K, 27" Dell P2715Q
right: old Apple Cinema LED Display 27"
mid-bottom-left: iPhone 5s, for testing
mid-bottom-right: iPad Air, for testing, sometimes TweetDeck/HipChat with DuetDisplay

I think 5K iMac can drive 5K, plus two external 4K displays at full speed without issues

edit: also note that all the displays are 27", so they naturally fit side-by-side, that seems to be a detail, but it is quite important for seamless mouse movement (aligned virtual desktops). Even if physical pixel densities are not the same, all displays have the same virtual size: see https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/559047/aligned-displays.....

And the keyboard: http://www.daskeyboard.com, also highly recommended for a developer.
my first impression was landing but I can't quite explain why. I used to be an air traffic controller so I have some amount of "machine learning" in this area though not a lot from this angle or this kind of aircraft.

The angle didn't quite look right for a takeoff though after looking at a few takeoff videos of similar airplanes it seems they mostly try for steeper takeoffs but there's a lot of variability. There are conflicting requirements, you want to get as much altitude as possible as fast as possible so you have more options if there's any problem but you also want to gain speed and your initial angle might be limited by stall speed or other factors ( http://www.boeing.com/commercial/aeromagazine/aero_12/attack... ).

Even if I had 50% of being right it's always nice to be able to explain to oneself how good you are and when you get it wrong you can blame something else ;)

If it will "just get worse" then there will be no "again".

Frankly, elsewhere people get jailed for speaking their mind, and you know what some of them do? Speak their mind. We face pretty much no repercussions other than it not being so fun to discuss it, some people pouting because it holds up the mirror to their cowardice, so we.. don't? Nah. This is the only way worms can get power, by giants lying down and falling asleep. So maybe just don't.
Pros also get their chains changed as frequently as they want. I doubt any pros are riding 2000 miles per chain like plenty of amateurs do.

Also the biggest pro I've ever heard of is Magnus Backstedt at 6'4 and 207lbs. He's a GIANT compared to everyone else on the pro tour. "Big" Tom Boonen only weighs 180lbs and Lance Armstrong was 165. Pros have really good power for their weight, but in absolute numbers the power isn't that excessive.

If you want to see people who are tough on gear, you have to look at track riders. That's where a 1400W rider isn't anything special and 1800W+ starts to become impressive. Also since they're on single gear bikes the torque they put down at low speeds to accelerate is absolutely insane.

I cannot do any serious coding on a laptop, it's just too small. It's fine if I am traveling and have to debug something but otherwise no way, I've always needed large screens to get things done.

Some of my coworkers code in 80x40 windows and are totally fine with a single 25" 1080p screen, I have no idea how they manage honestly: I've run dual monitors since forever (running two physical video cards, before dualhead was available) and lately I find myself more productive on 3 screens at home rather than 2 at work.
I'm more interested in collapsing a few layers of our abstractions to avoid wasting the increases in hardware speed we've achieved. Our computers are so fast but they don't FEEL (as) fast with all the bloat we have on them.

Use PSReadLine instead of ISE.https://github.com/lzybkr/PSReadLine

ISE has bugs that the CLI doesn't (ex: splats for hashtable arguments used to not work in ISE - I don't know if that is still true, because I gave up using ISE and have only used the CLI for the last 2-3 years).
