To me the most important reason that you can't be forced to disclose a password is that it is impossible to prove that you know it at all. So you can always say "I don't know it" or "I forgot it" so these constitutional rights are basically ensuing you won't get tortured/harassed for something you couldn't reveal.

However with fingerprints you can "prove" that you can't unlock the phone by touching all the fingers to it so the problem doesn't apply.

Basicly there is nothing special about encrypted data, only the "data" inside your head.
>Exactly and this also argues against wanting to get hired to work remotely.

True, though not unheard of. I worked at a startup that hired remote devs via networking of that nature. It seemed to work well for them. Eventually the entire team migrated to the same area but things operated smoothly remote for the time being.
Any reason in particular for Foundation? I'm reading it right now and I love it, but it doesn't strike me as a life changing kind of book.

That's amazing! They didn't need proof? How did you convince them? Is this legal?
If they get punished MORE for having the policy than for not, that incentivizes having NO policy, which leads to more minor injuries without preventing the major injury.

Similar to how no one in industry reads patents (opposite of the intended purpose of knowledge-sharing) because they get treble damages if they are found infringing while being aware of the patent.

You could claim LHC hasn't found anything in the sense that it hasn't found anything that disagrees with the standard model. I consider finding the Higgs as we expected a letdown, though it is of course very important. There is a lot of data collection to be done so hopefully they will find something unexpected.

Thanks! Scorekeeping was always a part of the code I was unsure about, and I thought I saw some scoring inaccuracies while playing the game, but somehow never identified what they were.

If you're curious, the HITSELF constant in the original game is 1, but I was testing a boolean against HITSELF using strict equality (===). Thus, you were just scored based on how many gorillas you hit with a banana.

The advice is equivalent to "we want your break the rules, but don't get caught". It's encouraging misbehavior while trying to distance from the consequences.

Yes, exactly agree on Adobe opening their SaaS cloud to be used on Linux machines. I don't understand their hesitations but I also don't see it happening any time soon.
For anyone who doesn't know what Oberon is:

"Oberon is a general-purpose programming language created in 1986 by Professor Niklaus Wirth and the latest member of the Wirthian family of ALGOL-like languages (Euler, Algol-W, Pascal, Modula, and Modula-2). Oberon was the result of a concentrated effort to increase the power of Modula-2, the direct successor of Pascal, and simultaneously to reduce its complexity."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oberon_(programming_language)
I couldn't agree more. I just got hired to 'productionize' some proof of concept developed by data scientists in jupyter notebooks. The first thing I did was hiring a Python developer (no data science experience) to start cleaning up the code and a devops to put the infrastructure in place. Second step: I went to the data science department and sat down with them and I taught them how to program properly: test driven development, version control, code reviews (git pull requests) and continuous integration. They all have PhD's so it's not that they would have any trouble learning anything new. They thought it was great. Result: all their new code now directly goes (via code review and CI unit/end2end testing) into pre-production and after sign off from the product owners into production (quite often the same day). I just do not understand why instead of trying to find the perfect person for the job people don't just hire someone to teach them how to do the programming part of their job properly. Good teams are cross functional, diverse and have a strong focus on transferring knowledge.

That's only if you switch colors frequently. Canvas can be quite efficient.

It's irrelevant here-- the game is using Phaser, which can render as either Canvas or WebGL (WebGL in my case), but it's spending most of it's time in engine code updating expensive transforms every frame.
Safari will definitely be up soon.

The reason why we're better at that than an AdBlock is because we use a whitelist approach. When using a whitelist, all the newest sites and attacks are blocked by default. AdBlock will always be slightly behind on that. Additionally, AdBlock won't protect you from inputting your credentials into a phishing site if you somehow end up on a bad site. As a side benefit, since we don't scan the DOM, we don't slow anything down!
Lua already has coroutines. I think if you're looking to peg multiple cores or SIMD then your going to want to drop down to another language anyway.

Thanks for mentioning this. I just looked through some of the First Class* series on YouTube, and other NHK shows, and it looks both pleasant and very interesting.

I can see myself watching this regularly.
If that's true, it's ridiculous.

The issue at hand is that it's a 'locking mechanism' - something that only specific people can do, by virtue of the fact that they have a key, or knowledge, or whatever.

Whether it's biometric, a password, or a padlock - is basically irrelevant to the nature of the situation, I would hope that it's recognized as such legally, although I admit I have no idea.
Every company I know in the space is a company that we've had at least preliminary conversations with (seeing if there's any potential relationship to either purchase from or sell to that company).

Just having that conversation required getting a mutual NDA in place, since the conversation involves revealing your capabilities (even if not your sources). And that's assuming you're even aware of all the NDAs your company has signed with other companies, which isn't always the case. Speculation or name dropping in public could violate an NDA you're not even aware of, then you find yourself having to defend your speculation as just that, rather than as revealing proprietary knowledge (that you didn't actually have but your company did).

At the end of the day, it's easier to default to speaking in generalizations rather than risk the potential repercussions of not doing that. :-/

The company could have donated the services, but that wouldn't have had the same impact. The donor got a big tax deduction, which then translated into revenue and data collection for his company. If the company had simply donated the services, it wouldn't have looked like they got a big contract. They also wouldn't have gotten the cash infusion, from the founder and funneled through the university.

I'm surprised how high/well JS and Python rank as secondary/preferred languages. I'm a fan of modern JS myself, but surprised to see this carry over into another environment considering how many outside the current JS culture tend to reject the changes as complexity.
Not to give them any reason to doubt my working moral.
Those are interesting theories, but do you have any support for these statements? They don't match what I understand, the facts (taxpayer support for higher education has has been cut widely), and what research I've seen shows.

EDIT: Regarding the links you added (thanks):

* The Slate article says, based on a study, it might be possible that student loan availability could be increasing the cost of college, but it's only a possibility. The article also says that among the biggest culprits are for-profit institutions and advocates blanket funding of higher education as a solution, a la Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders.

* The New York Fed link is to the study covered by the Slate article.

* The Forbes page doesn't want to load.

I don't see that as backing much of the parent comment. Also I'll note that a great proportion of funding for higher education is not via student loans, but taxpayer funding for research and for public universities and colleges.
World War I was very strange by modern standards. It has to be understood in the context of previous centuries. Europe had a long history of wars, and several Great Powers pushing back and forth against each other. There were 18 or so wars in Europe between 1900-1917 alone, before WWI. Wikipedia has a list. Wars between the same players were accepted as normal, and businesses on both sides dealt with each other before, after, and sometimes during the war. In WWI, Vickers and Krupp had licensed each others patents for various weapons, and after the war, they settled up on royalties for wartime production. This was considered normal business practice at the time. War wasn't viewed as total; it was just something princes and governments did; politics with guns.

WWI started almost by mistake. It rapidly got out of hand. All the major countries now had machine guns, artillery, railroads, and steel mills. This was an industrial strength war. It started with calvary and ended with tanks. That was new. The level of destruction was much higher than in past wars. This was the first war where there was more than enough ammo, and enough machine guns and artillery to use it. France is still cleaning up unexploded ordnance from WWI.

It's important today to understand how Europe worked before WWI today, because that's Putin's view of the world - Great Powers engaged in ongoing power struggles and land grabs. Hence Georgia, Crimea, and Ukraine. We're used to a comfortable superpower stalemate, which we've had since the atomic bomb in 1945. That may not last.
Good for you all (not sarcastic!) but as someone who did a job search recently, the number of startups that offer this is much much closer to 0% than 100%.

A late edit: and you will get pushback for even asking. Apparently we're all supposed to pretend that we're never going to leave the company / we owe them our undying loyalty. I've previously taken the honest route when asked why I was leaving a job and said the ceo didn't deliver on her promises (growth, revenue), so why would I stay? That approach does not necessarily work well =P
> Honestly, I think the way you communicated your thought process and results was confusing for some people in the room.

Wow, get similar rejection lately: this is a fast paced company and the way you explained your thought process was confusing and might slow us down, so good luck with your job search.

Maybe I'm not getting how this works, but how can a service like this function without sending the URL (or FQDN etc) to a remote service? It's too much data to have the entire map of all servers on the internet bundled locally (probably a pain to update too...). That said, what does it mean to use this plugin but not opt-in? Is that possible, or are you referring to users opt-in as part of the install?

This is a great breakdown. Data Science can mean a lot of different things and I think the three roles you defined are spot on. At LinkedIn, what used to be called Data Science is now exclusively analyst roles. We have a separate org (hundreds of people) called Relevance which is part of the engineering org and is composed of scientists and engineers. Everyone in that org falls somewhere on the scientist to engineer spectrum with ML / Stats backgrounds and a bias towards ML engineers. Most of the people who interview would consider the relevance roles "Data Science" but the term within the company is still tightly coupled with pure analyst functions.
Yes, I protect the shit out of my personal info. I have introduced a seeding mechanism to figure out who is sharing my data whenever I sign up for things. Public records are different and you have to create a Trust or a company to hide behind to not be personally listed.

I would suggest anyone wanting to not be exposed to never use your real name or address online if you're not confident they won't share it. Introducing typos or initials or use a nickname for online orders that allow to list billing address separate from shipping address. Billing data typically has a better chance of not being resold, but there are no guarantees, read their TOS if not sure.

To be tax-deductible to the donor, donations to charities have to be "gifts." If they have conditions that confer value back to the donor they are not gifts. Also gifts cannot be earmarked to be directed a specific beneficiary of the charity.

Also, charities have to be aware that they may be generating "unrelated business income" by accepting a donation in trade for something of value, as such income is taxable.

This is mostly graphic inspiration. For interaction design:

"Thoughtless Acts" by Jane Fulton Suri is one of the best. Pages and pages of photos of objects as they are actually used, rather than what they were designed for, gives deep insights into use.

"Design Research" by Brenda Laurel is an exhaustive collection of design methods, which you can pick from to solve almost any specific design problem.

In my opinion, those two books and The Design of Everyday Things are all anyone needs to know in order to be a better interaction designer than 99.9% of professionals.
The Reenchantment of the World by Morris Berman. Assigned in a college course and it raised a ton of still-important questions about the foundations that our scientific and materialistic worldview(s) rest on. I'm "over" this one in a lot of ways, but it was huge at the time I read it.

Mind and Nature by Gregory Bateson. Bateson was mentioned in the other book, and by the professor who assigned it. This is his most comprehensive piece of work (really his only comprehensive work -- pretty much everything else is topical papers, collaborations, interviews, etc.). It introduces systems/cybernetic thinking in an accessible and applicable way, such that they become relevant in basically any context.

Edit: wrods.

It can inline library functions, since, at latest, 1.4.2 (this is just what I happened to have handy on this computer). It's pretty easy to test by writing a package containing a simple function like "func Square(x int) int { return x * x }", compiling a main package that imports that package and calls Square, and then disassembling the executable to see whether it calls Square or inlines it.

Maybe life-changing is a strong way to put it, but I think of the stuff every time I read about SpaceX etc. I read the trilogy when I was a youth, and in recent years re-read it and a few others in the series. It just makes exploration seem exciting, which hovers in the back of my mind. Maybe like the "wild west" did for earlier generations. Plus the ideas on government, managing populations subtly or brutally or otherwise, unity vs. individualism (one entire planet had explicitly decided to have one mind, in a way, shared by the whole ecosystem). Then the robot stuff has another whole set of ideas & interactions, which spurred thinking on individual agency and what is a "person" and why. (And some content which I wish I had not read as a boy, though it's mild compared to other sci-fi. It wasn't the right time for such thoughts.)

I gather that some ideas for the Foundation series came from Asimov's reading about the Roman empire. And I admire his sheer abilities in writing both so prolifically and enjoyably.

(Edit: I could have mentioned in my original post about books: The Little Schemer (Friedman et al) and another, fat, textbook on Scheme (also Friedman et al; he was the professor) changed, somewhat, how I thought about programming.)
