You're ignoring the fact that there's a huge racial division in the US. If you're a white person, gang warfare in the black or hispanic ghettos simply does not present a danger to you the way it does to those minorities. (Note I'm not saying these problems shouldn't be dealt with or that these minorities should be ignored or that the deserve it, just that this is the reality on the ground.)

From what I can tell, in European countries the divide isn't so stark and middle-class-and-up people are more likely to be victims of petty and street crime like muggings. Here, if you're a white suburban dweller, you just don't have to worry about being victimized in a mugging or carjacking very much, while in the ghettos you definitely do.

I think I agree with you from a policy perspective. However, the cost of a false negative has major PR implications (just wait for the first "I tried this algorithm and it misdiagnosed what turned out to be cancer") story. While I totally agree that those stories would be entirely unfair when looking at rates, that's not how it would play out in media response (and unfortunately, regulatory response).

That seems a little bit like cheating, in that you can calculate the number in the third turn - e.g., 111! - but as I understand it, to calculate Rayo's number, you basically have to calculate all the numbers that it's not.
Synthetic Chemicals Should Be Part of Ecological Assessments
This was the API Ben Cox used to gather more than a million of public keys from (active) Github users to analyze their strength or weakness, which finally led GitHub to revoke the vulnerable/weak keys and notify the users.[0]

I suspect you're right.

The reason for the phenomenon this article is about is that deep expertise correlates with being a good listener when an engineer is describing a problem. But it isn't a necessary condition.
You can run it in "desktop mode" too, and there's a hidden .ini file you can edit. I play Hearthstone entirely with my Steam Controller without running it through Steam. You still need Steam to be running though, otherwise the controller is a generic HID device.

The 3-month long notice period does indeed sound insane, but it's not the reason it's hard to hire people. In fact, you got cause-and-effect the wrong way around.

It's hard to fire people, which is why employers are hesitant to hire (and why the contractor business is so large). So as an employee, you're relatively safe. In return, the employer is relatively safe from an employee up-and-leaving, thanks to the 3-month notice.

Of course, the secondary effects are huge: because the hiring market is less fluid, people will stick around bad situations longer, both employees and employers, with expected consequences. I won't detail them here, in case my anecdotal experience doesn't entirely match country-level trends. For example, it can be argued that if you're more strongly tied to a job you'll make more effort to improve things rather than just leave.

The write-up manages to misquote Rayo's huge entry

"The smallest number bigger than any finite number named by an expression in the language of set theory with a googol symbols or less"

into the relatively minute

"The least number that cannot be uniquely described by an expression of first-order set theory that contains no more than a googol (10^100) symbols."

by leaving out the crucial "bigger than".
The latter is no more than #symbols ^ googol
since any N descriptions cannot describe all of the first N+1 numbers...

Similarly, the proposed function F(n) is merely exponential in n.

> They spent so long on reverse engineering where open software with obvious weaknesses would've cracked almost instantly

Not necessarily true. If the software is available to everyone white hats are much more likely to find bugs and help fix them. They might actually have skin in the game alongside you.

White hats won't bother with proprietary software at all, and baddies sure aren't going to turn in their exploits, they'll just sit on them or sell them. If you're being targeted by sophisticated nation-state attackers keeping the code private isn't going to help you. These are people who make worms like Stuxnet, MITM major Internet services, and pop government employee Gmail accounts for their full time job.

You're just reciting the same tired old rhetoric that security through obscurity is a valid defense mechanism. It's just not.
It's definitely not, proven by the examples you cited.

Where you get ultra-low crime is when you combine that homogeneity with good public education. Take a look at the education systems and levels in places like Japan or Norway, and then compare to Appalachia or Sicily or various middle eastern nations. Also look at the levels of religiosity.

The picture comparison of boards is a joke. Why would you show the Trello board view compared to a list of tickets in a sprint? The author must not know how to use Jira and create a Kanban board.

I actually prefer Trello over Jira but, I have to use Jira at work. Still I couldn't take this article seriously after seeing that picture comparison.
Many would disable auto aim and aim assist because it is generally terrible and makes using the mouse harder.

Shooting someone in and FPS with a mouse is literally just clicking on something, do you need help clicking on icons?. It is not difficult until the target gets very small or is moving in a specific unfavorable way. Those are both situations where auto-aim tends to help less, like ignoring far targets or aiming at instead of ahead of moving targets. Then there are the times I have been lined up for a perfect headshot only to have the auto aim pull my gun of course and blast center mass giving the enemy precious seconds to respond with their rocket launcher or equally fatal weapon.

Follow-ups questions:

1. How do companies educate their employee base on where this portal is? I imagine this is something that many employees will never use in their entire lifetime at a company.

1b. Isnt is more intuitive for an employee to simply call their helpdesk and report a maintenance issue. Shouldnt the focus of your product be to have help desk employees submit the work request on behalf of Employee A? Since I imagine most employees are just conditioned to call their help desk for any type of issue they have. In which case, now you'll have to compete against competitors like ServiceNow who dominates in help desk software.

Edit:

Please don't take this as me hating on your product. I don't. Quite the opposite. I'm just really fascinated by what your created. Hope you succeed and interested in reading your response.
I find that gyro aim works well, it's just the other conveniences of using a stick that I miss. I currently have my right touchpad set up to continue sending input when I'm touching an outer portion but there seems to always be a hiccup before it switches from mouse to continuous input. Pretty frustrating for a game like GTA V in third person.

I also miss being able to smash a stick to the limit and occasionally find myself using less confident swipes on the touchpad or my thumb slipping off.

After using the SC for about six months as my almost-exclusive controller, only reverting to my 360 controller when the SC won't work for some reason or another, I'm far more precise and fast with the SC.

Consider that you've probably been playing shooters for years with the joystick, it takes a lot of time to master an input scheme. I had over 10 years of dual analog experience, starting with Halo CE, and already after 6 months I'm far better with the SC than I was with the joysticks.

> With respect, this seems very Bay Area short-sighted. Mozilla was open about targeting cheap, crappy phones, which my understanding makes up a very significant portion of the Android phone ecosystem. They were looking at those Spain, India, China markets, yes, and nailing those markets didn't really depend upon the opinions of comparatively extraordinarily rich Bay Area denizens or hackers.

If Mozilla was targeting the market for cheap, crappy phones, they were also targeting the search market on cheap, crappy phones. Unfortunately Yahoo, Bing and Google, the companies who comprise nearly all of Mozilla's revenues, need access to extraordinarily rich markets to justify their bids. It's not clear to me that they'd be substantially better off if the Mozilla phone was considered a success.
This is great! As another diabetic, this type of software is HUGE in allowing those of us with dietary restrictions to eat with a bit more freedom, or maybe less anxiety. While nutrition labels are great, going out to eat means you're often left to guess how many carbs you're intaking. Anything that provides a more accurate assessment of my carb intake is great.

I am about to get my SCiO unit which provides a means of sampling small amounts of food to determine the nutrition facts. The minor issue here is that it doesn't provide much in so far as what the total amount of carbs is, only the carb density.

I could see this product working alongside a SCiO type device that can get the macro assessment of of food you're going to be eating, but then get the nitty details by hooking into the SCiO data on the spot. If bread is detected, "Please get more accurate details on your meal by sampling your bread with your SCiO-type unit".

Great stuff! Keep it up!

It does accelerate inequality. The answer is to make sure we are all equal.

To solve this problem, we should not allow the special Nike sports camps because I do not make as much as a basketball player as an NBA player. We need to equalize all opportunity at the lowest common denominator. Of course the US would never see another gold medal in the Olympics.

Yes, true, but unfortunately for all of us who don't have our billions yet, many of those making policy decisions have a thumb or three in that pie and much of their wealth tied to it.

That's fair, but I still believe in the idea of Kerckhoff's principal. The gist being you should build a system based on the the idea that all parts are open, because any security researcher (whitehat OR blackhat) worth their salt will eventually figure it out. Of all of the layers for good defense in depth, obscurity is generally a mediocre one.

Edit: Spelled Auguste Kerckhoffs's name correctly.
In my opinion that's a BS guilt tactic that helps to keep people in crappy work situations. It isn't your fault if management can't keep a workplace that can stand to lose a person.
> but we won't be seeing fully integrated, doctor-replacement systems for a long time.

I see your point and agree - if you look at ML and computing in general as a tool useful within the current context of medicine.

But I think the whole field of medicine (or a big part of it) may become obsolete - because the change will be driven by technology, not medicine.

By monitoring people's vitals in real time - think wrist bands which can do blood tests (+ urine, sweat, sperm, etc), feed that real time data to ML algorithms, train it on billions of people and you can accurately tell ahead of time when a person is getting sick. Next day the drone brings the medicine.

Doctors will still be involved of course, but their role will be mostly to confirm whatever the algorithm has decided..

So I think we'll be seeing a move to preventive medicine / real-time monitoring during the next decade or so and within our lifetime people might not be involved in medicine at all.

That is, if we have peace and things go according to plan... Which is a long bet of course.

From my experience, would strongly suggest Vue. I am a systems developer too and started playing with UI for a side project. I started building the app and started with Angular, Angular 2, React and then heard about Vue and tried it. Vue makes things super easy and is well documented. I was super productive and got things done fastest on Vue.

I'm curious what the fine level was relative to the income of the parents, and if the fine was viewed more as a convenience fee than a penalty.

I'm thinking if the fine was raised to a high enough dollar amount, tardiness would again drop off, or at the very least, revenue would increase enough to justify hiring someone to stay late...

Before I can choose to use it I have to install it and that's significantly less convenient than it is with Chrome.

If I go to Chrome's download page it offers up a 64 bit .deb file. Perfect and I happen to know it keeps it's self up to date.

If I go to Firefox's download page it offers up *.tar.bz2 file. I have no idea if that file is a source package that needs to be built or a binary blob for what architecture?

So, since I'm too lazy to dig deeper Firefox lost out before I even tried it.

This is interesting and impressive work, however, I noticed that they compared the algorithm's performance to dermatologists looking at a photo of a skin lesion. This seems like a straw man comparison because any dermatologist would presumably be looking directly at a patient and would benefit from a 3D view, touch, pain reception etc. I realize that this was the only feasible way to conduct this study, but still suggests that an algorithm looking at a photo cannot match the performance of a dermatologist looking directly at a patient.

Apple should be legally stopped from doing this monopolistic garbage.

Apple isn't even close* to a monopoly in phones. Regulators could come down on Microsoft for doing the same thing, because, at the time, Microsoft had a 99% share of the desktop OS market. Regulators said that Microsoft could not use this monopoly to suppress competition in a legally separate domain (market for browsers).

The difference is that Apple has, what, a 30% share of the phone market? All Apple has to say is that if a consumer wants a choice of browsers, they're free to switch to Android.
Of course moving for such generic drugs would be a strange thing, but lack of the combo pills in Europe might explain why moving to the US prompted the other poster to try the combination.
You argument is biased and non-factual. Default ssh measures keep un-trusted entities from gaining access, normally. Conversely, once access is granted by the admin to trusted entities, the normal UNIX permissions continue to provide means by which access to the file system is limited by user permissions. Thus, simply by an admin granting access to a system, your (hypothetical) arguments become false and pointless to discuss.
A current-generation Xeon E7 has a memory bandwidth of up to 102 GB/s. The article says 90, which is probably a realistic estimate of achievable throughput. But the data is 500GB.

I don't think income plays into it. It converts the transaction of one of spending social capital (social mores, trust) to financial capital; social capital, IMHO, is harder to acquire, therefore far more valuable.

Anyways, because you asked:

http://rady.ucsd.edu/faculty/directory/gneezy/pub/docs/fine....

"It is true that a ‘‘large enough’’ fee would eventually reduce the behavior.
For instance, many day-care centers in the United States clearly announce
a fee for coming late at the start of the year, and this fee is large
and proportional to the length of the delay. The resulting penalty is more
severe for the average delay than the nonlinear fine we introduced in our
study, even after adjusting for difference in prices and incomes in the two
countries. Casual observation shows that there are few delays, but we have
not examined if the average delay is different from the one in our sample.
Comparing the two systems would be an interesting research project."
