I don't disagree with the list. But I do think that few political organizations are going to have the will and discipline to enforce it upon their members particularly in the US. For a political organization with the will and discipline to enforce such practices, effort would might be better invested in creating a cell structure that isolates access to information in terms of the social graph.

Or to put it another way, an organization that relies on technical means to maintain secrets is still subject to infiltration. Wikileaks shows how readily organizations with dedicated and expert security staff and meaningful budgets are compromised by lack of or weak compartmentalization. A Snowden knockoff just walks out the door with a thumb drive of documents and hands it over to people who aren't supposed to have access bypassing NSA level security. And that's in an environment where people are rigorously vetted, not one looking for volunteers to the cause.

If I have an issue with the answer, it's that it conceives of an adversary who is 'just like us'. But plant a bug. Tape a cell phone to a car. Hire a honeypot. All will bypass an iPhone and disk-encryption and the local police can do any of them legally with a little effort and just about anyone with a will and a few hundred dollars can do them illegally with even less effort. And in the political realm there are lots of people with lots of will and more than a few hundred dollars at risk.
Oh yeah, I forgot about that crazy rule. That doesn't apply to corporate taxes though right?
1. For drl,you usually don't want a ResNet actually, since reward assignment is difficult.

2. Almost always,.5 is usually good, but you can tune this.

2. You usually flatten right before the final layers.

3. Yes, relu is preferred.

4. You're referring to double q networks, although this helps, optimality bounds are even better.

Having the temporary immigration ban affect current temporary and permanent residents to the United States was pretty out of line with campaign promises. So was extending that ban if banned nations don't cooperate with United States (really Syria, Yemen and Iran are going to cooperate?) Kinda makes it a not so temporary ban.
Quick response and I'm no expert: their encryption technology isn't open source and from what I recall hasn't been verified by third parties. They claim that is sufficient but no one has been able to confirm that. "Security through obscurity" if you will.

I'm excited for the applications of deep learning in radiology. I'll be starting radiology residency in a couple years (intern year first).

Can someone explain whether this solves the problem of identifying multiple pathologies within the same image? For example, if a patient has pneumonia and a pleural effusion, could this method activate two subnetworks and come up with a consensus diagnosis based on both those networks? Or does only one pathway get activated at a time?

The next most important start-up hub after SF is Beijing. It's much more affordable than SF, but there are other concerns with hosting conferences there such as pollution, speech and media controls and a lot of regulation in general.

edit: I had no idea there was so much China hate here. I'm no fan of certain policies of the government, believe me. I hate the GFW with a passion. But the entrepreneurial community is incredible. There's a lot of skill at the high end and awe-inspiring levels of fearlessness and ambition.

Trunk only goes well with continuous deployment.

If each increment in deployment is small enough, then you know exactly when things break and rollbacks are easy.

The 3-2-1 system where you develop for 3 months, then merge for 2 months, then debug in production for 1 month, is a real drag, and doesn't lend itself to quick feedback at all.

For a software looking for product market fit with ultra short cycles, I would absolutely choose trunk only.

For engineering projects in areas where cycles are months, or years, more traditional branching makes more sense.

If a check in breaks the build or breaks production on deployment, it should be rolled back within minutes. Trunk and production must always be healthy, and if you commit poorly tested code, you are doing nobody any favors.

Hi Irishguy - I believe there was a fellow here that was promoting a job board for very experienced (i.e.: non-teenager) software developers. I remember he had 100s of comments after putting together a simple google doc. I am sure there must be lots of jobs on that board already. In what cities are you looking for a new position?
Could someone replace the HN link to this? The current link just redirects to a slashdot forum page.
Tough but not unusual. For the record, I'm 33 and I have had a similar experience. I am not sure it has anything to do with your age but ageism is very real and I am trying to prepare for it because 40, assuming I'll make it, is just around the corner.

I did 3 interviews so far this month and even though I didn't get any rejections, I still don't have any offers. Things around here do move slow(Australia) but I am not holding my breath.

2 of those interviews asked me questions about algorithms even though the job had nothing to do with that and I explained that I am not good at those puzzles and that I preferred to discuss my experience.

I don't know your situation but you have to keep trying. Even 20-30 interviews, whatever it takes. Not getting an offer from an interview says nothing about you or your abilities. Every single user on this site can tell you horror stories when they were looking for a job so you're not alone.

The user should have been warned that applying the update would brick the detected non-original phone. It shouldn't have just silently fucked the user over. It's bad ethics and also bad PR. Fucking over a user acting in good faith is poor form ethically.

> Things did not go as smoothly with Slack. [...] This feels like something that is harder than it needs to be in elementary. Especially since it is a simple double click on a stock Ubuntu installation.

> After all, most parts of the elementary desktop environment (pantheon) are in the Arch User Repository (AUR).

So, Mr. Author, let me get this right: in Ubuntu it was really easy to install Slack. Just a double click of a package.

Then you thought that Arch Linux was better then Elementry because you couldn't double click a dpkg file, so you installed the Elementary stuff through the AUR. A website that would require you to use the command line before you could get Slack even installed?

Ubuntu does have old versions of drivers and applications. As Elementry is based on Ubuntu, it is to be expected that you would recieve older driers inside Elementary.
Can you explain more on the timelocks that you mention. I could imagine Facebook adds them also to protect consumers, and or LinkedIn to ensure people don't abuse the network

The insurance is only one component of a healthcare system though. What I have in mind is a decentralisation of the whole system (which is distinct from a privatization though, which I oppose for the most part). Allow me to explain.

Here's the components of a health system as I see it:

* infrastructure in general, I'd call them infrastructure nodes. These would be hospitals, clinics, ambulance services, care services or even preventive institutions such as public sports grounds, public cantinas or public tooth brushing lessons. In fact I'd extend this to every piece of infrastructure where free market doesn't work due to economic hazards, both unwanted (monopolies, asymmetric information, ..) and wanted (nurses and doctors who go the extra mile for each patient instead of being forced to go by the numbers only). So this includes roads, airports, public transport at least in less dense areas, electric infrastructure, emergency services etc.

* tracking of health conditions & outcomes and transparent data, for each infrastructure node above a certain size.

* a health care cost model that's centrally governed (luckily we have that already in Switzerland).

* a certification system for infrastructure nodes above a certain size that's centrally governed (so everyone can still start one).

* a tax system that I can subscribe to that includes access to a specific set of infrastructure nodes (others are still available, but need to be payed individually according to the steered cost model). This essentially forms a virtual commune. This being bound to local or regional areas may often still make sense, but there could be other models, for example business travellers could subscribe to an 'all-cities-and-interconnects-included' model. These are basically just funds that anyone or any organisation can start to manage, that has inflow (taxes) and outflow (payments to each infrastructure node for their provided services according to the tracked data). You can also look at this as a privatisation of local government.

* policies by either big reinsurance firms or the central government that back these decentralised tax funds. Essentially, a potentially decentralised / privatised version of the cantonal fiscal balancing.

* mandatory public education where everyone can learn about what makes up infrastructure nodes and why or if we need each one, so everyone can make informed decisions about which tax fund to subscribe to.

* a basic tax fund operated by 'classic' government that allow people to stabilise their economic situation (and allow their dependents the highest education) if they fall through the cracks of the system. This would also fund everything that still needs to be kept centralised, such as a military. Financing this could be done through VAT or through to-be-defined tax flows from each private tax fund into this basic fund.

After you're done with this, together with crypto currency, you could have a really small central and local government. Military and police would probably be the number one cost drivers there, but that's maybe 30% of what we have now.
This is a crazy list.

1. IPhone is closed source and any kind of rootkit can be installed by Apple/NSA secret court system. I suggest not using a smartphone if you are serious about security.

2. Good but difficult to anonymize

3. Good

4. Google Chrome is a botnet effectively and users lose their expectation of privacy there. Should switch to Firefox and use Chromium (Not Chrome) as a backup. Ideally Tor browser though.

5. Why? It's great for sharing encrypted files. Certainly if you trust Apple, why not trust Dropbox?

8. Signal transmits metadata that Google/Apple and by extension NSA/FBI/CIA/DEA know about now. Use something else that protects your anonymity and is secure. Something like cryptocat/Pidgin OTR is better.

9. You can use email to send encrypted information.

10. Unnecessary. Good strong password is good enough and you don't have a centralized password storage app. Another benefit is avoiding all the frustration that comes with using it when you are on someone else's computer.

11. Commercial AVs are better than Microsoft's native solution as repeatedly shown on independent tests. If you are tech literate, you're probably fine with the native solution or no solution at all.

12. Good idea. Best not to have a smartphone at all.

13. That's crazy. Just know your email app. Attachments should be read only and if your software is updated, it's very very unlikely you'll be compromised. If the email isn't signed and you are worried, use an alternative app to open common document formats. PDF.js for PDF, Libre Office for documents.

How do you justify to the person paying for it that you are are going to spend money to build essentially the same system? Often they don't really care if it is COBOL rather than something newer. The only way to justify is if the maintenance costs are higher than the redevelopment costs.
Seems like a golden opportunity for another country to step up and become the "conference center of the world". I'd LOL extra hard if it turned out to be Mexico.

Can I suggest Canada for this purpose? We're a cheaper conference destination than the USA, Europe, or Japan; have a fluently English-speaking population anywhere conferences would be held (most people in Montreal are bilingual); have good infrastructure; and most international visitors to the USA already fly over Canada anyway.

This would be unfortunate for conference attendees from Central and South America, but they're far outnumbered by the conference attendees from Europe and Asia.

Trump is seen negatively because he can't deescelate any situation. He doubles down on the dumbest, most easily disprovable stuff. His narcisism runs deep so it's easily taken advantage of by folks with nutjob agendas like Bannon and Flynn.

Honestly he's more of a King George III than Hitler. Hitler had much more of an agenda, backed by a competent team, than Trump has. Trump's a 2-bit narcissist that's attracted crazy dead-enders. The threat is a combination of fringe politics, insanity, and incompetence.

That's a good point, if you write a script to unfollow friends after about a 100 friends you will get an error. And that is a daily maximum. You have to wait another day to remove more. So if you have 2,000 friends you will need to focus for an entire month to do so.

At the end of the day unfollowing simplifies your timeline which lowers your engagement. The same applies to unfriending but I didn't mention that.

So what he's saying is, if Trump ends up being like Hitler, it's our fault, for thinking he would end up like Hitler? Because we'd prefer Hitler to having Scott Adams think we're confirmed morons?

I guess I am a confirmed moron, because I used to look up to Scott Adams. What a disappointment he's turned out to be.

No, virtually is the important bit. In code we can know all the details. So, you can predict the code just fine. For example running it twice and getting the same output the second time. Chaos theory is based on real world systems that can't be measured accurately. However, internal computer simulations don't have that limitation.

One example is if you try saving a simulation to disk you need to copy all internal state or you get a different output.

IPhone is closed source and any kind of rootkit can be installed by
Apple/NSA secret court system. I suggest not using a smartphone if you are
serious about security.

I absolutely disagree. While you are correct that in theory an iPhone can have rootkits and other backdoors installed on it by the NSA, in practice, I've found that the average user's computer can be compromised far more easily than their smartphone. Remember, we're not dealing with security professionals. We're not even dealing with people who can use PGP to secure their e-mail. We're dealing with rank newbies. In such a situation, it's far better for them to take incremental steps today to secure themselves (e.g. by using Signal to communicate, rather than e-mail) than it is for them to spend a year learning about encryption and having PGP key signing parties before they can set up a secure infrastructure.

Comments like these are why I have a deep frustration with the "security community". It's letting the perfect be the enemy of the good.
Wow, that is some terrible advice. VHDL is just as valid a choice as Verilog. If a FOSS simulator is your requirement, VHDL has ghdl. Also, many companies only allow VHDL.

As better advice, it is worth writing something in both languages to get a feel which one you like better. Both have their own advantages and disadvantages (VHDL: Strongly typed, Verilog: Less verbose).

Scott has some really weird alt-right tendencies that make me pretty nervous.

Rationalizing xenophobia as doing what's best for America (with absolutely no evidence to back up his actions) isn't, 'wanting to be right'. I mean, you can demonstrably show that immigration to the US has done this country a lot of good.

Trump's entire platform is completely devoid of evidence-based decision making and is much closer to that of a temperamental child who wants to just go with his gut at every turn.
