Hmmm.. I think I was misreading what you were asserting. I was taking it to meant it is a purely learned behavior. While I can see how it has heavily learned aspects, I'm curious if it is solely a learned thing. More, I'm curious how successful people can change their learned behavior.

I don't think that's entirely true. Of course Trump and other mendacious characters have seized on it, but I think the general distrust and skepticism of news media is both organic and well-warranted.
Why do you think that ? They neither increase nor decrease the available places.
Hopefully it is enforced.
Without compatibility information this is more dangerous than useful. For example, a naive HTML author would use the semantic tags, only to fail in most browsers. There is mention neither of compatibility nor polyfill. Better off with MDN and caniuse.com.
Well that depends, if you have no dependents and some money in the bank you can take a risk by working in a startup, you get to learn so much.
Global priorities research – an intro
I did some work a while back that involved using genetic algorithms to solve a problem pertaining to PC errors. Long story short, the bottleneck ended up being the generation of an error screen (which is then compared to a pre-existing one in the cost algorithm). We were first using GDI (on Windows), but then we switched to DirectWrite, but couldn't get it to be fast enough to make the algorithm feasible. This definitely piqued my interest!
If you do choose to bring your main device it's a good idea to enable the "erase after x failed passcode attempts" option so that you can erase it without unlocking. Also instead of deleting your whole os you could just delete local data/apps but that may still be recoverable if they actually image the unallocated space. (Does anyone here know if that is the case with any popular tool?)
Yeah, the unemployment process (at least in the US) was designed to scare people away. It really isn't that bad to report your progress with a job search, and it's your right to receive it since you paid into it.
The article mentions a "groundbreaking study" from 2013 that a psychologist "spent years developing"...

It sounds impressive, until I looked at the actual study[0], which uses simple linear or logistic regression on 100 features obtained by low-rank approximation of an m users × n Facebook-likes matrix via plain-old singular value decomposition (SVD)[1], as shown here: http://www.pnas.org/content/110/15/5802/F1.large.jpg

I don't know how anyone could call this "groundbreaking," considering that lots of people in Silicon Valley have been using matrix factorization to predict consumer behavior and make recommendations for a couple of decades, give or take.

I stopped reading at that point.

In theory this is true. Is there major kidney related extortion in Iran, where kidney sales are legal? What similar extortion do you see in other similar markets?

Is there any reason to believe this is not a random, unsubstantiated fear?
I think 40 hours of interviews is to much, I agree, but I think he meant 40 hours of just looking in general. That's a combination of interviews, in person and phone, and the rest of the time looking at job boards and networking.

Then again, maybe you meant that too... :)
> Source? Just because they haven't announced any successful security breaches, doesn't mean they haven't been seriously targeted.

True, and in fact the only basis for my statement is that they have historically taken security so not-seriously that it would be surprising if they were in fact able to withstand advanced attacks, given that even the most secure organizations are often unable to do so. (see: every talk at Black Hat)

> In fact, considering the amount of times my random dedicated server instance (not hosted at DO) gets hit with random attacks, I'm sure a large provider like DO has had numerous serious, targeted attacks against their network/servers/control panel/etc.

this statement is just as baseless as mine. perhaps even moreso, since the two numbers seem to have nothing to do with each other. one could just as well say "my server gets lots of bogus SSH attempts, so banks get robbed a lot".

This is good advice. Don't try and turn the unemployment into a holiday because the stress is too high to really let yourself enjoy it. You don't want to spend a holiday thinking "should a spend the extra $2 on the gourmet pizza" and stuff like that.

Honestly my suggestion would be to move to another country where you are not effectively tortured like a caged animal about your own health and welfare and expected to work 355 days a year. If you are free of a partner/dependents you could try teaching English in some different exotic locales, that's easy stable cash in many places while you decide what you want to do / sort something out more stimulating / come up with your billion dollar startup idea. You would be surprised how hard it is to spend money in some places!
SJW bullcrap.
> The Cloud is about businesses focusing on core business and not supporting functions

Yep, it inevitably trends towards commodity infrastructure. As such it will require regulation (and eventually even some form of nationalisation in some cases)
The problem is Amazon doesn't care one bit. They do what they have to --the minimum they have to-- but eventually tell you it is a business problem that you, as the brand owner, have to contend with on your own. Meaning, outside of Amazon. If you have a popular product this is pretty much impossible.

On the other hand, they have made deals with brands just as Levi's to protect the brand on Amazon. Nobody can sell Levi's on Amazon. They've done this with other brands as well. If you are not big enough for Amazon to care you are screwed.
>Isn't Craig living the hacker's dream? A reasonably useful service that provides value to customer, that once built you don't have to put much effort into maintaining or improving - because it works. Then you spend the rest of your free time on the beach.

I don't know about you, but real hackers get personal enjoyment from creating software, products, and innovating. They don't do it so they can "spend the rest of their free time on the beach."

In fact, if you are trying to just make enough money to spend the rest of your free time on the beach etc, you're probably not a real hacker.

Why "Legal First Name" and "Legal Last Name" for me this threw up warning flags. Why do you need to know that?

What's to prevent me from lying? Also, with no "work" (cpu or human) required to get coins there's no incentive to NOT lie and just make a ton of accounts to multiply your effective daily income.

Basic income is a great concept, but the cash isn't magically created. The govt's don't just print new cash. if they do they cause inflation which devalues the current cash that's in circulation. every day you put more "money" into circulation you're devaluing the money that's already there. This just seems to violate fundamental economic concepts. I don't see why anyone would want to take this in exchange for goods or work.
Having done some work that involved comparing a number of text rendering libraries in the past, I'm aware of the minute differences in rendering and hinting (even when the output should be the same). Could you briefly mention how hinting here would compare to ClearType?

Uh, I really disagree with this article's premise. The author identifies a page he added that was deleted, and his contribution was lost (on more than one occasion), and cites this as evidence of wikipedia's inevitable demise.

Though such inefficiencies are unfortunate, and discouraging, I think they only slow progress. I think evenutally an article on Hemovidin will be written and not deleted, and I wouldn't be surprised if most encyclopedias don't even have such an entry.

There is some clunkiness around wikipedia, but compared to academia (which almost everybody without journal access and fluency in english is restricted from reading) it's by far superior. In fact, I can't think of another better source of reliable information that is freely and widely accessible.
Theres alot of work to do on fleshing out what "blue team" meand and how one can meaningfully contribute to it.
It's always been about the desire for on-demand content. It's partly about pricing, but what consumers want is freedom. They want on-demand content and content discovery.
> I have nothing to hide personally. I'm more concerned about business secrets and SSH keys.

If you have nothing to hide you should have nothing to fear. Because you know that US is never involved in industrial espionage and Snowden NSA leaks have allegedly never happened.
> Dictatorial regimes that implement actually beneficial policies I can tolerate. Less good than a democracy in terms of social and political freedom, but better than dictatorships that don't implement any benign policies.

The policies are not really the problem actually, especially when they are, as you say, beneficial. In a perfect world where media coverage respects basic ethical rules of journalism, there shouldn't be any issue really. Unfortunately, in the case of Rwanda, I tend to see the magnifying glass systematically being put on 'favorable' PR-stuff like that, vs constitutional reform, mysterious disappearances of political dissidents of the regime (sometimes abroad), open support to militias in Congo.
e.g: I wonder what someone on the receiving end of bullets in the Kivu region would think of the hagiographic article of the guardian.

Ultimately, the survival of most of this kind of regime depends heavily on the way they are perceived globally, undoubtedly, the Rwandan regime beautifully manufactures its image.

Beyond a reasonable doubt does not mean "hurr guilty cause i tink u lying cause i don like ur face". Observers cannot be relied on to make correct judgements and the observers of the observers cannot be relied on to assess if they made a correct judgement. Indefinite imprisonment via unconstitutional contempt of court laws is the real issue here and not encryption.
I don't own a Mac, so I haven't actually tried Metal.

But from the documentation, it looks like quite a nice and simple API that also exposes the modern capabilities of shaders. It would probably make a great base for a new webgpu API.

This existence of Metal isn't really an issue. The real issue is that apple has silently shifted to a mode of only supporting Metal, not implementing vulkan and neglecting opengl.
There are options between stop it and do nothing. I would assume cellphone companies can easily give access to any conversation from their internal network so that's probably a more cost effective solution at all levels. The question becomes, why do police feel the need for other tools?

What if they upgrade the 1024 plan to 1536? (That has actually happened, by the way.) Now you're extracting the number and comparing it to a range?

> Give me the plan where the RAM is >= 1024 and < 2048.

What if they upgrade the 1536 plan to 2048?

> Nevermind, just give me the plan with two cores.

Okay, do you want the $20/mo plan or the $120/mo plan?

> Fine, sort the plans by cores and memory and give me the smallest plan.

Oops, they introduced a new plan with one core and less (i.e. not enough) storage.

I'm not saying it's impossible. Just impractical.
fair point, I hadn't bothered to look more, but it's still true that A20(when implemented) gates both real and protected modes, and therefore "ignoring it to focus on protected mode" is invalid

Yes, it is finance! Prop trading more specifically.

We could set up milestones such as (1) implement this exchange interface with this latency or (2) implement this trading algo with this latency but really none of that matters if you don't make money in the end. In fact you don't want people to focus too much on that. You don't really know what is important. Maybe latency really isn't very important. Maybe it is the most important factor.

I like the idea of letting them choose but my point is that they will choose to stay where they are unless you say that they can have their current compensation but then saying you get the same bonus you got last year regardless of how this new project works out defeats the incentive nature of having a bonus. Of course they would take that deal as they get the same amount as they would and there is some chance it will work out and they get more.

You can. For my programming font [0], I provide versions of it that bake in the output from Freetype's hint interpreter applied at different point sizes and display DPIs. This way platforms such as macOS that don't always apply hinting can show it as though they did.

Silicon Valley spent the last ten years building platforms whose natural end state is digital addiction. In 2016, Trump and his allies hijacked them.

I wouldn't call it "hijacking" when that was already the intended purpose of those sites. Just because neo-liberals lost their perceived power (I'm neither liberal nor conservative) in said industries from years of abuse of said systems doesn't make it somehow more nefarious now.

No entity exists neutrally; that is fucking niave. Courts can favor accused police and political officials.

that seems a strange way to classify 'groundbreaking' - surely the result, even if preliminary and needing confirmation peer review replication etc, is what makes something potentially groundbreaking? typically, asking new questions is hard enough without requiring the latest buzzword acronym to be used in parallel.
