Someone working at an auto plant once told me they "worked on software", they were a "coder", because they loaded the chips into the machine and pressed the button to flash firmware to the chips.

Others involved in "coding" might attach a laptop to an ethernet, USB, RS-232, etc., port in an industrial machine and use command-line tools or GUIs to configure a device or monitor/diagnose a situation.

There's so much so-called "coding" that doesn't involve actual "software development" that I'm uncomfortable with the terms "coding" and "coder" ... though I'm OK with "code" (as in meat), but not with "a software code" (as in "a pork chop").

EDIT: distinction between "code" as in meat and "a code" as in a pork chop.
Public traded companies: you can sell the stock. The voting rights are rarely used, but they allow majority shareholders to properly control the company. No distinction is made by size of shareholder, just shares = votes.

Private held companies: not necessarily traded. Your investment is illiquid. Nobody outside is really watching. The managers can fly the company into the ground before you can find a buyer, and voting is your only shield against this.
'Modern psychometrics' are empiricist nonsense I'm afraid.
> abstracting ideas is core to problem solving

Sure. But don't confuse abstractions with analogies.

Here is a good proof about both the integers and rational numbers. Every integer and rational is a real number (abstraction). When you add any 2 real numbers, you get the same result regardless of their order (fact). So it must be true that, when you add any 2 integers, you get the same result regardless of their order (correct conclusion #1). It also must be true that, when you add any 2 rationals, you get the same result too (correct conclusion #2).

Here is a bad proof about the integers and rational numbers. Both the integers and rationals are very similar: you can add them, subtract them and so on (analogy). Between every 2 rational numbers there is another rational number (fact). So it must be true that between every 2 integers there is another integer (wrong conclusion).

It appears to me that only the specification of the encryption algo has to be FIPS 140-2 approved. There is a list with approved functions and techniques.

I wonder if they rewrite their unsafe C code with Rust, would this bug still likely to happen?
To be fair ...saying you'd use lawyers to put someone out of business makes no sense unless the company had done something that the lawyers could go after. Hating on lawyers for being aimed at a company is like hating the court system for being available. The bigco's lawyers arent doing this of their own motivation. I'm' sure there was other stuff going on that made the op's company back down.
No one is contesting that either. Areas like this become like this because of poverty and unemployment. Sweden has a system of very high entry level wages making the threshold for getting a job very high. If you immigrated from Somalia the chance that you have a job a decade later is around zero. So in a way this comes as an unfortunate result of success rather than failure. We "could afford" having migrants, and we have had the luxury of high entry wages.

The fact that this leads to massive segregation and thus integration problems is the downside we haven't figured out.
Hmmm. Maybe my bank's website is just a government experiment to test accessibility.
Speaking as a long time US soldier here is how the military perceives code:

* There is no copyright and plagiarism doesn't exist. Internally to the military everything is libre to the most maximum extreme. While people do get credit for their work they have no control over that work and anybody else in the military can use their work without permission.

* Service members and employees of the military are not allowed to sue the military. As a result software written by the military has no need to disclaim a warranty or protect itself from other civil actions.

* Information Assurance protections are draconian. This is half way valid in that there are good monitoring capabilities and military information operations are constantly under attack like you couldn't imagine. The military gets criminal and script-kiddie attacks just like everybody else, but they also get sophisticated multi-paradigm attacks from nation states. Everything is always locked down all the time. This makes using any open source software really hard unless it is written yourself or you work for some advanced cyber security organization.
Is there any chance that widespread adoption/disemmination of basic income will take place prior to the rapid increase of automated jobs?

That's an interesting question. To oversimplify it, the value of a stock of essentially a wild-ass guess about how much cash one might be able to pull out of a company eventually per share times the number of shares.

If I a company isn't paying dividends or buying back stock, and we (the shareholders) can't coerce said company into doing so at some point, it's essentially an indestructible piggy bank in which money evaporates while you helplessly watch.

Actually I think that would be the best solution..just get rid of taxation of people working, which is an incentive for companies not to hire people (and for people to prefer unemployment with its problems and benefits).

If you check hacker news and reddit threads from the original posting, that note wasn't on the article when it was originally posted. It was only added later, but apparently still before anyone archived it.

Edit: I'm mistaken, however I'll say what I said then again:

The note does nothing to show that he actually understands the statements he's making. The note gets the definition of turing completeness wrong too.
How much confidence do you have that Rev. A Ryzen parts will even work?
They'll most likely have a case, but it's also unlikely that the supplier would be big enough to cover any damages in the high 9-10 figures, they'd just throw in the towel and go bankrupt.

Also an argument that "we stole stuff but you're the one who leaked it so you should be punished" won't play well with a jury.
I typically think of "encryption inside of encryption" as a boondoggle more likely to somehow break things than make things stronger.

My confidence in that has dropped slightly in the past day.
>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.

The power loom was but one variation of a more fundamental technology: the steam engine, and more generally, the combustion engine.

Beyond engines, the Industrial Revolution saw a rapid shift to all kinds of mechanisation, almost all of which were made possible by combustion engines. This affected countless occupations. The occupation of the Luddites is but one example. It was not limited to them.

I am not at all concerned about the speed and breadth of soon-to-occur automation. Automation reduces costs, leading to people having more money to spend on new types of products/services. The cost of a product/service being roughly equal to the human labor needed to make it, we will always consume the same amount of human labor (subject to changes in the supply of labour, as people voluntarily drop out of the work force as their prosperity increases), because a reduction in the consumption of labour in one field (as a result of automation), leads to consumer savings, which are spent on consuming labour in another field.

The question is, what does "working" mean?

Those refugees are mostly good people. They escaped war. That must count as a glorious success?

Whether Sweden is better off or slightly worse off (yes we have more crime, more public expenses, etc) is secondary. Obviously there is a limit to what Swedes will accept - but even debating this issue without acknowledging the positive side of it (people being safe) is completely mental.

Because it appears to be a made up conclusion for the purpose of stoking anti-immigrant sentiment. You have yet to provide a source. OP has sources. GP has sources. You have fear mongering.
That's a bit of a straw man. Bug bounty payout isn't any indication that one company is better at security than another. Also, any one of those companies could be sitting on some obscure bug that is currently unknown to anyone in the company until it tragically makes itself known.

Ask HN: Are you going to learn AI or Deep Learning? If so, how and when?
AI seems to be the next bubble within the tech industry, it's more like a mini bubble. We're all optimistic and bull on AI for the next 10 years thinking it will lead to something completely different. If it does, then most of us will have to specialize in something different. If it doesn't, then it's a bubble. So my question is:

Are you going to learn AI or Deep Learning? If so, how and when are you going to start?

Python3 folks act so daft about his Turing-complete comments. ZS knows what Turing complete is and means. He was clearly trolling, saying in essence, "if the CPython team can't create interop between CPython2 and 3 code then they really botched the job.. Python3 bytecode is Turing incomplete. What a fail."

And then people attempt to troll him saying he doesn't know what Turing complete is. Perhaps they really don't understand what they're even responding to, that's what it appears. Or it's just a willful attack because they "like Python3". Unfortunately with Python3 this is what the Python community has been slowly devolving into, what comes off as a bunch of trolls/kids or ridiculous adults.
That's a bit too extreme, don't you think? Disliking AMD is one thing, but claiming that the entire initial run of an AMD processor might be faulty is just silly.

My guess is that you have no idea how much effort goes into verification and testing of something as complex as a microprocessor. A significant chunk of NRE costs goes into verification and test AFAIK.
This was a useful article. We're starting to have the accessibility discussion for our externally facing sites/applications, driven in part by new state requirements for assessing and ensuring accessibility.

There's often the knee-jerk "can't we just have a tool approve or identify problems?" because no one wants to allocate or train staff. So it's useful to have evidence that trained analysis in addition to automated tools is appropriate to enable compliance.

"No one is even contesting that immigrants commit more crimes"

You must be joking. There is a huge amount of people who claim they don't. For example, these media outlets which many people find to be reputable:

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/immigrants-...

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/26/us/trump-illegal-immigran...

http://www.latimes.com/opinion/op-ed/la-oe-bersani-piquero-i...

Or you could hear the (former) US ambassador to Sweden claim the increase of 1.5 million violent crimes in Sweden is not attributable to refugees (around 3:58) - "...does not mean that is somehow related to migrants."

It's value is that you can sell it to someone else.

One of the big risks that Snap is taking in this IPO is that their common stock has no practical value.

As you said, stock generally has two ways of being worth something: partial control and/or profit sharing.

Snap common stock has neither. It's only value is its ability to be sold to someone else. It's basically a currency? Is $Snap the new BTC? I have no idea.

Another concept would be to slice your task it into small enough junks so that one would need many of them to extract meaningful information. That's not strictly secure, but nothing is. ;)
The 4th does state that it is "The right of the people to be secure in their [...] papers [...]." I'd love to witness a judicial argument that seeks to extend this to code/binary 'goods.'

I know a couple Japanese citizens who chose to come to the US and work IT in a large research university for this reason.

I like my credit union's website. It looks and feels like a website straight out of 2001, and it makes no attempt to be clever or slick in anyway. It's also very usable.

My other account at MegaBank is a very modern, slick, and somewhat annoying to use. It's so slick, that when I click on a dropdown, the dropdown choices appear in a modal in the middle of the screen, without greying out the rest of the screen. I had to click on the dropdown about 4 times before I realized the data was being displayed somewhere else. It was actually quite usable before they got all frontend-y on me.

To me it seems the obvious problem is that the socio-economic dynamical system called Sweden doesn't know how to integrate foreigners.

I haven't read the paper you link to, but the comment:

"A new working paper by Simcha Barkai, of the University of Chicago, concludes that, although the share of income flowing to workers has declined in recent decades, the share flowing to capital (ie, including robots) has shrunk faster. What has grown is the markup firms can charge over their production costs, ie, their profits. Similarly, an NBER working paper published in January argues that the decline in the labour share is linked to the rise of “superstar firms”. A growing number of markets are “winner takes most”, in which the dominant firm earns hefty profits."

...is about the third one I have seen lately that the current financial system is not good at doing what it is supposed to do: allocate capital investment.

No surprise that I've only heard about this by reading it on HN, despite the fact that I had this problem yesterday. I consider it an operational failure when customers are the first ones to identify issues, double fail when they are not proactively made aware of issues that WILL affect them.

Like others, I also had a moment of extreme panic where I thought something had been compromised, as it also seems to have coincided with an issue where Google Voice SMSes (2FA) were not going through.
This is the sort of sophmoric 'conventional wisdom 2.0' that's no more effective than the conventional wisdom it aims to replace. The thesis is basically, "most people think / act / look like X, therefore the opposite is more valuable."

That guy who looks and sounds like a doctor may have paid his own way through college. Maybe he went to speech therapy to overcome a stutter. Maybe he works out regularly and follows a good diet because he truly believes in the advantages of a healthy lifestyle and he knows how hard it is for his patients to do the same.

The point is, the vast majority of the time we don't have any way of judging how much a person has had to overcome just by looking at their appearance. It's not that we're drawing the wrong conclusion from the metric, it's the metric itself that's broken.
I still have a lifetime standard DNS subscription with them from back in the day when they were dyndns.org and you could physically mail them cash. The DNS hosting has been very solid (except for the day Mirai took them offline) but the standard query limits are way too low for any moderately trafficked website. All the managed DNS providers I looked at seem to have very restrictive query limits without a "enterprise - contact us" plan, one of the reasons why I decided to just do DNS-only on Cloudflare.

One of the problems is that for Java the task is underspecified: Flatten a list of what? Sure this one is integers, is that always the case or should the list take <object>?

Leaving out that information from the question is going to disorient novices who in a high stress situation at the short end of an asymmetrical relationship. I suppose if the interviewer lets them Google, then it is a fair test (and objectively, not Googling before writing code is probably the best criterion for failing miserably).

What the question really measures is how lucky the candidate was in their education. If they were taught in Racket rather than Java:

(flatten '((1) ((2 3 ((4) (5 6)))))

and if they were taught the JVM rather than Java

(flatten [[1] [[2 3 [[4] [5 6]]]]]

and with J

flatten =: [: ; <S:0

I'd bet that the interviewer would not know if it was wrong or right. Which is the same issue of open endedness that the candidate faces.
