Doesn't seem improbable that a Google employee somewhere might have chosen to invalidate a bunch of tokens based on the cloudflare issue. There are 3rd party sites that accept Google account auth. Also not that big a jump that it wouldn't have been communicated well. Google doesn't always follow up with some kind of "what actually happened" postmortem either.

Is a drunk terrorist any less deplorable than a sober one?
Okay.

>Gun possession increases the frequency of deaths due to terrorist attacks

Please provide evidence to support this conclusion.

>Basic physics.

Physics doesn't say that owning a gun will make you point it at another person and pull the trigger.

>Guns make it easier to achieve death of others.

Agreed.

>All other things being equal, less guns = less deaths, more guns = more deaths.

This doesn't follow. Please provide a source. Less apples = more starvation?

>Kansas makes it worse by not even pretending to restrict guns to anyone of any mental disposition.

Does this lead to more deaths due to terrorist attacks (guns or no)? Source?

Edit:

>holy shit, your willingness to be absurd about this is mind-boggling

Isn't it mean to call someone absurd? ;)

Well, in one sense, the Luddites were right, it did hurt THEIR job. Society, as a whole, was better off, but not them.

And growing automation means a growing number of people that are affected by it. Where is the tipping point where a great enough number of people can't produce competitive economic output and a relatively small percentage produce the most value? What happens then? Growing inequality can mean trouble for all, regardless who invests more effectively.

Keep in mind that a lot of these first world countries have an aging population - so younger people being imported is good because it brings in more taxpayers versus pensioners.

I'm quite sure it's already scared away customers. I'm one of them.

I have 'missed' a number of opportunities over the years because I was unwilling to implicitly endorse unethical behavior (instead of quietly continuing to do business with entities I believe to be bad actors, I cut them out, because there are more important things than convenience and money). I don't plan to change this pattern, and I know I'm not the only one.

The real question is what percentage of potential future customers Uber is losing. If people like me are a tiny minority, this may not affect their bottom line at all... which I would find very sad.

Corporations also have record high corporate debt levels right now. Cash reserves are vitally important as cushions to provide stability in a volatile economy that crashes every few years. Companies correctly became more conservative post-financial-crisis and built up their financial reserves, and that makes the economy as a whole less fragile and likely to suffer a cascading debt default crisis.

The attitude of wanting to violate other parties' property rights invariably comes down to a sort of arrogance in believing that the way the market works and the way people manage our own property is incorrect and that you have a better idea on how they should be using their property.

Possibly. We do not have any information that makes socioeconomic factors irrelevant, and comparable studies strongly tilt the balance in the favour of such an explanation.
Is that google search supposed to be convincing? Because the first result is from "Frontpage mag", where the blog headlines at the moment are "Finally: English Language Declared Racist", "Nuclear Weapons Aren't Going Anywhere" and "Environmental Protesters Burn 7-Year-Old Boy, Cause $1.2 Mil in Damage". Seems to have a pretty clear agenda. The second result is from "Infowars", I suppose I don't have to tell you that they are not exactly a reliable source. Third one is a website supposedly maintained by "anonymous journalist" who hide their names because they fear "political correctness". It continues in this manner as far as I can see. Not a single source that seems balanced or trustworthy. It might well be that this "Code 291" exists, but you'll have to show me more reliable evidence to convince me.

From a policy standpoint, it would be a nightmare to define automation to be taxed. What counts as automation? Should I be taxed when I say "OK Google, remind me to blah blah blah", which theoretically negates the need for me to hire a human assistant to whom I would dictate? Should I be taxed for using a spam filter to sort through my emails and discard the junk for me? Where, precisely, would policymakers be able to draw a clear line between "tax this automation" and "don't tax this automation"?
It seems to work for that model of drone. Extending that it works for "drones" and more so for terrorist drones is quite a stretch.

I have a DIY drone 10 feet from me, it was deisgned for medium loads, not for killing eagles but I'm willing to put it to the test if an eagle can crash it without dieing.

X8 drones with carbon fiber blades would give no chance whatsoever to the eagle.

The word "Java" really should be in the title.

Whatever else you say about it, Java is one of the entry-level languages. It's no wonder there are many entry-level programmers among its users. It's obviously a trade-off, as you get that many more candidates to choose from, compared to for example OCaml, Clojure or Erlang programmers. On the other hand, a percentage of people who can flatten a list is greater in users of the more "advanced" languages.

If you want to have a good signal to noise ratio: avoid languages used in "Programming 101" like a plague and languages which are currently fashionable. This way you'll get candidates who learned the language by themselves, in most cases after learning and mastering their previous language.

Becoming a programmer is a long process. Depending on the person, the time required to learn a single programming language may be shorter than the time needed to really master all the essential programming skills. Which I think explains why there is a correlation between good programmers and people who know more than one programming language.

> ...declared Apple as the platform for discerning power users.

Incorrect. There are plenty of discerning power users who prefer the power of a good UI over a good CLI. What you meant to say is "for power users who happen to use UNIX".

Even at peak reality distortion Apple had a whole 6% share of the desktop market. Just enough to be annoying to the rest of the world. They definitely never had a monopoly on these so-called "discerning power users".
Interesting, a couple quick questions:

Careful. It appears that any Cloudflare client who was sending HTTP/S traffic through their proxies is affected. A small subset of their customers had the specific problem that triggered the bug, but once triggered, the bug disclosed secrets from all their web customers.

You're not exposed if you never sent traffic through their proxies; for instance, if you somehow only used them for DNS.
Fairly common pattern on non-tech-oriented sites, in my experience.
Before Bill agrees to pay back taxes on all of copies of Windows, MS Office and other robots that his company created, I don't think he has a right to advocate taxing robots. He became the richest man alive simply because he created company that helped people automate their jobs, and improve productivity.

Does he want to tax my scripts created to help me automate my servers? No, why not? Because they are just scripts? What if I put them on something like Raspberry Pi and attach wheels to it? Is it now taxable?

For fucks sake, how smart people can have such dumb ideas is beyond me.

Also not the OP, but this is exactly why I don't use the term except in a pejorative sense. Code is a tool in my toolbox; it is not what I do, it is what I may apply to a problem if it is appropriate to do so. If I describe someone as a coder, it's because I don't particularly trust them to solve problems that don't involve code (and I probably don't trust them to solve problems that do, either).
> Or, crazy idea here, they could licence their OS if they don't want to make pro gear anymore.

Maybe some are too young to remember 'Power Computing', the company that licensed MacOS in the 90s. That was juuuuust before Apple ran in to major problems, and had to file bankruptcy. The first thing Jobs did when he came back was borrow 55 million dollars from Bill Gates and buy back all the licenses and shut down production of all mac clones. One of the only true things Apple has is its reputation for quality. You want to bleed that out, you would do it by allowing clones, thus bringing about the destruction of the brand as a whole.

unfortunately this is true. For one thing Go doesn't have a REPL - major problem for data science/AI/scientic programming. And it's very committed to old-style procedural/imperative paradigm.

Numpy is carrying Python, and its competitors are thin. There's Julia, but that's not really ambitious enough compared with Numpy to be worth moving to. There's Scala though then you need to love the JVM. Lua had promise as a nice and tight, pragmatic and fast language, but it seems to have missed its window of opportunity. What else? I'd genuinely like to know. Ideally I'd like something that's got a functional programming flavour but that also data-parallel, almost R-style, by default, so as easily able to target the GPU. I took a look at futhark but it seems too experimental, as does Ocaml/spoc combo. I am taking a serious look at the probabilistic programming area with Edward or Stan, but then we're back to Python front ends.... Actually I did look at Swift which does c-class speed with an official REPL but an apple-supported language may not attract the science/ML crowd. Meantime rust is REPL-less for now...
Back in an earlier era of computing, there was a strict hierarchy of jobs:

An analyst took business requirements and wrote specifications.

A programmer took those specifications and created flowcharts of the program logic.

A coder took the flowcharts and translated them into code on a coding form.

A keypunch operator punched the code onto cards, line by line, card by card.

So "coder" was a rather low status job, just one rung above being a typist.

I constantly see the Luddites brought up during discussions of how to handle broad-scale automation and the economy of individual labor.

I understand in principle that they are similar in that, at the very reductive viewpoint, machines are taking jobs.

Industrial machines such as the Jacquard Loom could only affect one industry at a time. And in doing so we brought about the service economy. Service had always been around, though history it was mostly as slavery, but because of the industrial revolution we managed to slowly pivot to something stable.

The type of broad-scale automation we are on the verge of now threatens to take literally anything that is capable of being done by humans. Entertainment may remain safe, but the broad capabilities of modern robotics and its coming advancements are certainly worth worrying about and thinking through, right?

After all, if it turns out that us "automation Luddites" are just wrong and there is some panacea to our woes - will we have lost anything by trying to come up with means to protect the people?

Saw this part and got curious: "Programmers note that a system like this can’t build larger projects out of small snippets of code which, to be fair, sounds like whistling past the graveyard."

So I clicked on the original link and saw this:
"At the moment, DeepCoder is only capable of solving programming challenges that involve around five lines of code. But in the right coding language, a few lines are all that’s needed for fairly complicated programs."

A far cry at this point from
"OUT of the way, human, I’ve got this covered. A machine learning system has gained the ability to write its own code."

Still it's been amazing how much has been done with deep learning in such a short period of time.

I wonder when this will change from seeming like an advanced code snippet finder/synthesizer to an actual skilled coder.

How Startups Can Turn Their Constraints into a Competitive Advantages
Any hosted password manager should be "host proof". They should not have the decryption keys and it should not be possible for them to disclose your unencrypted passwords no matter how careless they or their intermediaries are. They should be sending an encrypted blob over the wire which is only decrypted in your client app or browser when you enter the passphrase.
Some pros expect to upgrade but many replace systems for simplicity: if you make money off of your computer, spending a few grand every couple of years just isn't that significant. If you have a 4 year old system break after years of heavy (i.e. heat-generating use) the downtime cost can quickly hit the same amount and it's less predictable compared to simply budgeting n-thousand a year as a business expense just like you do with a desk, coffee, etc.

The problem is that Apple has chosen not to put any resources into non-portable devices and so the problem isn't an expense but an absolute lack of options other than switching platforms.

The cost of an education is already free though. If you cannot learn from those resources, perhaps you are not cut out for the fast-pace world of automation anyway?

Is demand really going to grow that fast? Programmers make up about 0.8% of the population. Programmers can do relatively well because they are, relatively, rare. But if we tripped the amount of people working in software, you would still be only utilizing under 3% of the population.

If your training efforts were successful, I would expect more than 3% of the population having the necessary skills. That would result in much lower pay.
