Another approach to this problem is to do AIA chasing (that is, fetch the URI in each certificate to attempt to find an issuer). Firefox currently does not do this for performance and privacy reasons. Doing each fetch is slow (you would probably want a cache anyway, and so would still be vulnerable to this attack). Also, a CA (or even an untrusted party, since you can't verify the trustworthiness of the AIA field until after you've already fetched data from it) can use this to track users.

This has been the "go to" method of people like this who argue positions that rail against established science or history, from evolution to trickle-down to holocaust denialism. They cannot win on the basis of honest and sincere debate, so they play underhanded confidence games along with gaslighting in order to convince you to their side.

Honestly, if you are engaging in this, consider whether your side really is the right side to be on in the first place.
This happened to me moments after visiting the paste bin containing one of the Phineas Fisher after action write ups on my phone, so needless to say I was initially pretty terrified.

This is the bug that makes std::set< float > crash randomly under GCC with default compile options.

The fact that they consider this reasonable is insane.
Why is it very unlikely that computer technology is uniquely suited to men? Speaking from personal experience, my twin sister had perfectly equal opportunity to learn to program as me, and slightly higer mathematical aptitude, but she utterly lacked interest. Same story with my cousins. It's not an uncommon story. Why do you find it so unconvincing an explanation?
I believe removing cert8.db from your profile directory will do trick. (Beware that this will probably remove other certificates, too.)
The solution is to compile with SSE2 on x86. (flags: -mfpmath=sse -msse -msse2)

On x86-64, the compiler should default to SSE2.

SSE2 is ~16 years old so compatibility shouldn't be an issue.
The reason I'm not buying the PSRV is that it's really hard to figure out if it'll even work for me vis-a-vis the tracking camera.

I have a projector setup, so the PSRV camera has some propriterary cable running to it that I'd need to buy a third-party extension cord for, and who knows if that'll work.

Even if I have that I can't find any information on Sony's site about where it's acceptable to mount the camera relative to where you're standing. Is it only OK if it's directly in front of you, how about at a 45° incline etc?

Then, if I get all of that right I don't have a lot of floor space in front of the projector (maybe 2x2 meters), they don't say how far you're expected to move around in the games you can buy.
How is Sony with regards to indie developers? I haven't been following that, but I gather that Steam / Sony / Microsoft have all been trying to lower barriers to entry.

Barring a major publisher (e.g. Capcom from the article) taking a leap of faith, I think that's where a lot of the quality first gen content is going to come from.
There is a known strategy in politics to intentionally book rooms for speeches that are too small for the number of people who will show up. That way the next day the newspapers will talk about how people were standing in the aisles just to see the politician.

You have to wonder whether Sony is using the same strategy to generate more long term interest in a product that was "sold out" and "scarce".
I mean, not even the Oxygen Holocaust was world-ending. Not sure that's the bar we want to measure our actions against :)
Of course I don't think all climate scientists would've over looked it, I think probably the friction is between climate scientists and people who report on (and thus people who end up talking about) climate scientists. I think its perfectly possible that the results arent as dramatic or causally linked as theyre portrayed to be, and I have yet to see a genuine consensus to prove me wrong.

And lets not pretend one or two papers that make bold claims hold much water.

I've been misled by popular media many times, so color me unsurprised that they might be selling some bullshit about this as well. (Not that they certainly are.)
I love my vive but VR isn't quite ready for prime time yet. It's clunky and overpriced and there's a limited library.

It feels like we're in the "Palm pilot" stage of the technology. Eventually an "iPhone" will come out, but there are technical and UI hurdles to overcome before that can happen.

That being said, it's also an exciting time to get involved. VR owners get to experiment with different play styles and UIs and be part of a small dedicated community. Game devs hang out on /r/vive and accept feedback and ideas. And if you already know how to code, getting started in VR development is pretty easy.
> I'm not sure where else to complain so I will just leave this example here.

All of the specs, in their "Status of the Document" section, say:

> This document was published by the Web Annotation Working Group as a Recommendation. If you wish to make comments regarding this document, please send them to public-annotation@w3.org (subscribe, archives). All comments are welcome.

I'd guess, therefore, you should complain there (I have no idea if you have; I haven't looked through the archives!). Of course, there are plenty of W3C groups where specs have became pretty much totally abandoned as soon as they've reached REC, so it's totally plausible nothing will happen. :( (This tends to come about because groups are chartered to work on specs and bring them along the REC-track till they reach REC; unless a further version is being worked on there isn't necessarily any group actually with maintenance of the spec in-scope.)
You're right that non-scientific pressures existing isn't sufficient to support the position that scientific research is inaccurate. However, it certainly is solid ground for exercising a bit of skepticism about scientific research -- particularly when it is well documented that the political distribution of scientists does not reflect that of the greater population and the scientific issue at hand has become political.

Moreover, there seems to be a knee-jerk reaction among non-experts to discredit this skepticism as being "anti-science" or being the work of climate-change "deniers." For example, see here[0]. The commenter laments that non-experts might suggest a criticism of peer-reviewed work without being an expert themselves on that criticism. He or she even accuses them of arguing in bad faith ("They'll put on all the plumage of reasonable dissent") and suggests that anyone who has not undergone the rigor of peer review is not qualified to have an opinion ("peer review or STFU"). I fear that if there were valid criticism to be heard, it would at best only fall on deaf ears.

What I love about HN. I read one thing that sounds great and authoritative in a subject that I know nothing about. Just to have someone else rain on the parade! Which point of view is correct? I don't know (so I upvoted both..)
As I mentioned in another comment, these tests can be trivially passed. You just paste in some JSON data. To pass "all" the tests you actually only need to implement a small handful of the fields. The rest of the tests are qualified by something like "if present" -- so you pass those by just not having anything present in your test case.

When I use the hypothes.is extension, I see queries in my browser's developer console that do not look anything at all like they are querying annotation collections as defined in the spec.

The data returned from these queries is close to the spec but includes many fields that aren't in it. These extra fields seem to be conveying important information for their application.

Edit: I ran one of their annotations through the W3C tests. Five failed tests. Including one of the most important fields:

{
"name": "1:2 Implements **Annotation _id_ key** which has a **single value** that is a **string of format uri** - [model 3.1](https://www.w3.org/TR/annotation-model/#annotations)",
"status": "FAIL",
"message": "assert_true: ERROR: Annotation is missing id key or its value is not a single string of format uri.; expected true got false"
},

This is why I said I'm not confident they are actually using it.

I recently experienced this filter when I applied to one of the big tech companies without bothering to re-memorize my undergraduate-level algorithms. I figured having run two companies and fifteen years of industry experience with a dozen languages was good enough.

I didn't get an offer. But the filter worked: I wouldn't have been happy at a place that places value on the ability to memorize and regurgitate search results.

Do you have a lot of equity? Do the other developers?

Most likely the developers want to learn about microservices.

It's honestly one of the main reasons people join startups - to work with cool new tech/approaches.

If they wanted to take the low risk approach they would work at a big company.

If this is the case expect nothing but friction.
How we define success is such a finicky topic. Some circles define success as how much money they raised from investors. Others as how much money they raised from customers (sales). Still others might consider reach as their metric (users/installs/whatever).

This is a very good point. Once the science is clear and solid, those who want to effect political change based on it still have to do the work of presenting it in a way that makes "common sense" by being relatable. Otherwise it'll never be persuasive enough.
Recruiters say I lack experience. I have interviewed with Robert Half Technology, Addison Group, and Talener.

I have been rejected from QA. The interviewer was not convinced that I would be interested enough, since most people don't go dev -> QA (I had a 2 month developer contract at a startup).

I have multiple versions of my resume. I actually paid a service called ResumeRaiders, where they wrote an objective. I've received lots of negative feedback from that.

I have a Github full of small projects (ASP.NET site, API, AngularJS, various JS programs, etc.), but I felt it did more harm leaving it on my resume.

mygoldanimals.com hosting is paid by the client. It was working last month. If you do a Google search, you should see it's an actual business. I'm not sure what's going on with that, especially since the shared host provider has been bad over the year. It's unfortunate that it's currently not working.
That's a great point. But doesn't this make it mandatory for the applications to use Go? It would have been more useful if there was a REST interface for leader election.
There is so much free and cheap content for the Vive that has provided me endless entertainment I have a feeling that you'll end up spending the same amount you'd save on PSVR buying content.

It's similar to the PC vs console economics. I almost never buy games at full price. The money I spent over the cost a console is definitely cancelled out by the money I've saved with Steam sales, Humble Bundles etc.
If this is going to be used they will have to figure out how to deal with spam, vandalism, and harassment.
But other than that, they didn't even do the most basic testing. I mean, they wrote an HTML parser and didn't test it with malformed input?! It's all over the place on the Internet.

Here's a decent article on the economic effects on climate science research: http://www.ucsusa.org/publications/got-science/2015/got-scie... - This is in the opposite direction, but it shows how easily money is a factor. The fact still remains that there are unknown and undisclosed links to research that is paid to give a specific result.

As for climate scientists, yes they are fairly specialized. A PHD is always going to be specialized. And even more so, nearly all work for climate scientists is in research or in explaining climate change: https://www.indeed.com/q-Climate-Scientist-jobs.html

> Wouldn't tenure follow from a groundbreaking study that disproved mainstream scientific belief, instead of boringly replicating existing findings?

Not if even trying to research it would get you immediately fired. Stating you don't believe climate change exists inside a climate science department will almost instantly guarantee you will be axed. You're definitely not going to get funding to study it.

> Of course there is an economic link to everything. You still haven't established the link in a meaningful fashion. "I'm just asking questions" isn't good enough to present a convincing argument.

That we agree that there is an economic link, and that an economic link will influence outcomes, is literally all I'm saying.

Firstly, my comment regarding DN losing credibility was swiftly clarified elsewhere in this thread as an observation and in fact we have seen other commentators agreeing. I would welcome any observations, or even your personal opinion, you have made to the contrary. The development of DN actually saddens me.

Secondly, in my book, ofcourse being accused of lying, misusing statistics and covering up are journalistic scandals if you strive to be a premier journalistic publication. Maybe we have different expectations of journalism, but perhaps a softer term could have been used to save us both some excitement.

The TV debate was in a well known debate program on state television, and I'm sure you agree that it is very rare for a DN editor to openly receive such strong criticism from another journalist. I have no idea who posted that video on YouTube (I just remembered the debate and googled it) but the original source is state television, so that's an odd comment of you to make.

I haven't seen any sources from you either proving that the mainstream sources I provided as examples have been more criticised than DN.

There are numbers that are safe to compare against. Storing 1.0 (or 0.0 or 0.25 or any small integer), and then later comparing for equality to check "Did I assign this value before?" is completely fine.

Of course, it's not fine to ask "Does the result of this computation equal this value?", but everyone knows that.

You have to wonder whether Sony is using the same strategy to generate more long term interest in a product that was "sold out" and "scarce".

How do you mean? When I went to buy my PSVR there were four store trips (Wal-Mart, Best Buy, and two GameStops), all sold out before I finally came home and just ordered one online-and even on Amazon I saw a notice that supplies were limited.

6 Effective Ways to Improve Mobile User Acquisition Costs (CAC)
"...machine-learning algorithms are trained on a diet of human-derived data that is simply a reflection of existing human biases."

This one point simply cannot be stressed enough.
I bought PSVR last year and have purchased most of the games that have come out since. I've never used the other VR systems so don't know how PSVR compares, nor have I ever owned a HD TV (I play off a monitor) so the low-res doesn't deeply bother me. But the truth is is that while there are great experiences, there aren't many great games.

By great experiences, I mean, games that make you go "Wow" for the first 10 minutes, but after you've completed the game, there's not much reason to go back. The VR games aren't often designed with replayability or player freedom in mind. This coupled with the fact that putting on the headset is substantially more work than just picking up a controller means I've barely used the VR setup compared to just playing regular PS4 games.

Maybe things will change after the popular success of Resident Evil 7. But the problem with RE7 is that a pants-shitting experience is not the gaming for everyone. I don't blame developers in general for not putting the effort in making great, polished VR games -- the audience just isn't there in comparison to the 50 million PS4 systems in general. For PSVR to become truly successful, Sony had to throw money at developers to make games that will be loss leaders at first.

Right now, PSVR is mostly shovelware and ports from other VR platforms. One of only developers to build a AAA-game for PSVR, RIGS, was supported by and then shut down by Sony [0]. I don't have a lot of faith that VR won't go down the route of PSMove, PS Camera, Xbox's Kinect, and other such unsupported peripherals.

edit: A couple of other things to point out. I haven't used Rift or Vive but the general consensus is that PSVR tracking is inferior. That has to be another disincentive for developers to make distinctive, polished games. Right now, the most fun VR game is Fruit Ninja, but that allows for sloppy tracking and is a fairly simple game. The challenge of translating player gestures, and also not making the player super-sick, are the kind of challenges that require first-party support/investment by Sony...third-party indie developers can't do it on their own.

All that said, for games that can be played fully as either VR or non-VR -- this includes RE7, Rez, and Bound -- the VR experience is so much more superior that you can't imagine playing the non-VR versions.

how about at a 45° incline etc?

It works. I have mine on my mounted tv, which sits roughly at that angle from where my seat is. The PS Camera can tilt and swivel down so it doesn't need directly parallel vision.

Edit: The biggest knock I have (and this might be a problem with Occulus and Vive but I don't own either to know) is the issue of screen drift. Some games - like Eve Valkyrie - switch from a 2D/flat loading screen to fully rendered 3D environments.In those loading areas I may pull off the headset to check my phone or take a sip of water, put it back on and have to reorient the screen.

It's not a burdensome task to adjust, just press and hold options and it pops back into place. It's also not a terrible amount of drift that it impacts gameplay, but it is something I've noticed occurring with a frequency that's a little nagging.

As far as I'm aware, there's nothing in the spec that prohibits extensions to the set of fields, provided they use the required fields in their required way.

Of course, you run the risk that you end up with de-facto standards and everyone having to implement one implementation's extensions (oh, hi WebKit-prefixed properties!).
