I haven't the slightest idea what "n" and "m" are supposed to be, so I can't make any sense of your definition.

Beyond that, you say: "all real numbers that you're likely to hear of" - this is a fallacy twice over.

First, since my lifetime is finite, it's easy to count all the real numbers that I will hear in my life. But I don't think that's the argument you want to make.

Second, there are people who professionally construct unlikely real numbers; just because you choose to ignore those numbers doesn't mean that your countable sequence of all real numbers can. There's a difference between "things that cannot be written down" and "things you can't write down".
Something like: the idea that we are truly in control to any degree higher than a calculator is in control of what numbers it gives you.
Only an object-oriented programmer will say that a tuple is an object. A relational programmer or someone using a logic programming language wouldn't say the same thing.

A tuple doesn't have behaviour, inheritance, encapsulation, or data hiding. Tuples are language-agnostic.

An OO language has little choice but to represent tuples as objects, but to say that tuples are objects is no more true than saying that a user's account is an object, a TCP connection is an object, or a window on screen is an object - it mistakes representation for referent, it confuses the map with the territory.
As you are mentioning that you custom built the system and the intel s2600cp motherboard comes in the EE-ATX ( Enhanced Extended ATX ) format, can you please specify the computer case you are using ? The official ones ( Supermicro, etc ) are expensive if bought new, same for used ones on ebay as they are large and heavy, thus the shipping fee is killing the deal.

You can do it! Have a mission.

Imagine a kid dribbling a basketball along the baseline, while staring intently out-of-bounds. "What are you doing, kid?" "Making sure I don't go over the line!" Coach tells the kid to focus instead on moving toward the goal.

It's definitely possible to do well while doing good, but in order for that to happen, you really need to focus on what the good is, not on not-evil. It may require a suspension of your belief that the two are in tension; Kierkegaard might call this a "teleological suspension of the ethical."

I think a great example of this is news organizations (there is also a warning there, I suppose). The focus isn't "maximize shareholder value while hopefully not forgetting about news" (well, again, a warning). The focus is "truth at all costs" and the profit is a thing that inevitably happens by running it as a business.

I've been doing Python professionally for 13 years (among other languages, but Python is in the one I've used more). I like the language but I also hate some things (mainly, the GIL, the lack of static typing now lessened thanks to mypy and the slowness), but I never tough of the ternary if as evil or found a single instance where it confused me.
There is still tremendous value in symmetric encryption for off-site storage, especially cloud-based storage.
This allows storage to be off-loaded wherever without needing the storage location to be trusted. All that needs to be stored locally is the key.

Done right, this means quantum won't get you access to dropbox-like stuff. (Dropbox itself probably doesn't work like that, it'll store the symmetric keys server side somehow.)

As others have said, this case seems to go way beyond "best practices."

However, in the more general case, it probably depends in part on what sort of agreements you've signed. It's also one of the reasons why non-competes do exist and are enforced in many places. As you suggest, if you're a project lead for $FOO technology at Company A and you jump to Company B which wants to get in the $FOO business, the reality is that you're being hired only because you're familiar with what Company A is doing and has learned about $FOO.

You may not hold a meeting and do a brain dump of everything you know about what you learned while at Company A (which might well violate employment contracts and would generally be unethical) but you'll absolutely be transferring knowledge. Of course, this happens all the time at some level when people move between companies.

If I could add my two cents here, I am quadriplegic and if I want to use a modern mobile phone and laptop or desktop I have to use Apple products. Their accessibility software is second to none and no other company comes close, I can take a new device out-of-the-box and have an able-bodied person set it up for me in about five minutes and from then on I need no other help.

Everything an able-bodied person can do with an iPhone I can do with my chin, usually with Microsoft and android and other open source offerings the accessibility software is always some subset of options and not the full experience. With Apple I get to use every aspect of every device despite the fact I can't move my arms and legs.

I would absolutely love to switch to Linux as my daily operating system, but I can't because the development has been done and it just isn't possible for me to use them as they are. So stuck with Apple I am. If Linux had the kind of support Apple did, I would switch in a heartbeat but they don't unfortunately.

They really are world leading in providing accessibility software for those of us with profound disabilities, and I've spent a decade looking.

Full disclosure: I help beta test the last couple of versions of the accessibility software for iOS.

This presents a completely new kind of threat. I wonder how the industry would respond to this. When you do a fresh install, perform some kind of checksumming to verify the integrity of the OS with all its installed software. This cannot possibly be implemented by Google because each manufacturer has its own bloatware that it needs to pre-install. I wonder if Samsung and LG will wake up to this and create a security module?

Practical security is all about risk management. And the first step is understanding what your risks are - not assuming or pretending they don't exist. Depending on the nature of the secrets your friend wants to share and who they are trying to hide from, advising them to avoid phones altogether might not be a bad idea. And falsely assuring them something is secure when that can't be confirmed could cause somebody a world of hurt.

I find it weird that hash signatures are not commonly used since most asymmetric hash signature schemes (if not all) are provably safe as long as the hash function used is safe and they are also quantum-safe and very trivial to implement.

It is also extremely annoying that programs like gpg do not support the generation of large RSA keysizes such as 15360 bits which would require many more qbits in order to break (and since RSA 4096 and 2048 are much more commonly used, they might not even build a quantum computer capable of breaking them or they might create a much smaller amount of them).
That's exactly what "preinstalled" means.

Go read the actual court filings. All the news articles are leaving out important details. Techcrunch has them linked at the end of their article: https://techcrunch.com/2017/03/10/waymo-files-for-an-injunct...

Important bits:

injunction page 23 line 12-14: Waymo is not seeking to enjoin Defendants from pursuing self driving cars in toto. Waymo merely asks that Defendants not be allowed to use Waymos trade secrets in doing so.

Page 24 8-9: Moreover, Defendants would be free to use non-infringing alternative components in their business, such as the same third-party LiDAR system that they had previously used before switching to Waymos patented technology.

There's a reason why the legal system judges people on harm they actually cause and not the hypothetical best case scenario from allowing them to continue causing harm.
Your theory will have countable models, but via Goedel (and assuming we're ignoring inconsistent theories) it will be incomplete, capturing only a subset of the reals' properties.

Any particular theory, capturing some aspect of the reals, can be given a countable model. Those "constructed reals" are countable, but they miss out almost all of the reals.

Think about it this way: a theory is like an interface, a theory of the reals provides an API to access the reals. The API is necessarily limited; not least because there are only countably many ways we can combine the operations.

Now consider a mock implementation of that interface: rather than passing around reals, we invent some (countable) dummy objects to use instead. Since the API is limited, we can always come up with a mock implementation which cannot be distinguished from the real implementation using that API/theory.

That doesn't mean that the reals are countable. It does mean that uncountability is an implementation convenience; regardless of what result we're after, we could get it using countable objects, but we might have to spend a lot of effort "out smarting" the algorithms we're using (i.e. coming up with our "mock" set).
Based on the behavior after these leaks, there's moderate evidence to suggest that users care somewhat about privacy if it can be accomplished without any sacrifices in existing ease-of-use.

Facebook cares mostly about penetration for Whatsapp, to ensure that no other messaging app takes over.

I'm surprised there's so little comment here about testing as a facilitator. As in something that refines your coding ability at the coalface, rather than merely something reassuring you after the fact. For me testing is like the entire team and paraphernalia of surgery, setting me up to undertake the specifics of a critical act, unincumbered by the weight of, "I'm saving someone's life" or, "I'm solving the problem of searching the entire internet in a few milliseconds".

Testing let's me create far more complicated things, not just merely sturdier things.

Oh great, I come to HN for tech news and see this. As a graduating medical student doing a surgical prelim, I'm certainly not looking forward to 28 hour work days. I think what many don't realize is that day-to-day medicine is super low-tech.

The ACGME is still acting off a model where sign-outs are face-to-face following a checklist (see: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK43722/). This is the best we've come up with, and it frankly takes a lot of time. It's no wonder 16 hours didn't cut it. What we need is a better way to do sign-outs so that residents can know what's going on even during their days off. The very wording "sign-out" is rather a misnomer. Just because you're leaving the hospital for two days doesn't mean you forget about your patients. What we need is something like a Twitter feed so you can get updates on your patients when you're not in the hospital. Then you wouldn't have to have a full-blown sign-out when you return.

Junior Mechanical Engineer (aka EIT) here. Interviews are pretty... standard I guess? Nothing like the interviews I read about on HN.

Most of the time is spent discussion my past projects, both technical and less technical aspects, like conflicts in team work and what not. Since I'm recently out of school, those projects are mainly a major design project I was a part of in undergrad (designing building a desert orienteering buggy from the ground up in 2 years), my master's research project, and coops (5) I did in undergrad.

Sometimes, especially if there is an HR person in the room, I'll be asked the really cliché interview questions, like name your 3 worst weaknesses. I hate that, it's a bullshit question, and (I hope) they very well know everyone will give them bullshit answers with the straightest face they can.

Exactly once I've been asked to solve relatively trivial mechanical (statics&dynamics) problems on a piece of paper. Honestly, I normally enjoy it when I get to write down FBDs and work out those kinds of problems. But it was the first I was asked to do it with an interviewer watching over my shoulder, and that was much harder than I thought. I totally choked up under pressure, and could only barely finish 70% of one of two problems. I feel for you devs now.

Funnily enough, in that same interview, there was a later part with an HR lady, that went well enough I think, until at the end she asked me asked the movie I thought was the funniest I ever saw. Sort of stressed and exhausted from the previous 3 hours of interviewing, not being a huge fan of comedies in general, and having recently re-watched Fargo, I went on about Coen Brothers movies, and how I think there is something hilarious about how trivial misunderstandings escalate into ridiculously life changing outcomes for every character.

Apparently she'd never heard of any of those films, and I'm not good at communicating my enjoyment of George Clooney's fuck machine in Burn After Reading. Didn't get that job, not sure if it was that or the paper problems that sank me.

(just kidding, I definitely did not bring up a fuck machine in a job interview, but I might have went on a bit much about Fargo, which she intially confused with Argo)

I am assuming the indicator would be an email from a service stating password reset but if the person has access to your email account, the obvious thing to do would be delete such an email. There is no difference.

Passwordless login is basically piggy backing on the security of the email account. You'd have to login to a site anyway but you are just logging in to your email which is assumed to be protected better.
