Well, there are degrees of criminality, which is why penalties for certain similar acts vary depending on the exact circumstances, methods, and intentions; e.g., manslaughter vs. 2nd degree murder vs. 1st degree murder.

I think this was the point. DDoS attacks potentially affect innocent people who just want to (say for instance) buy some cheap Viagra and who have nothing to do with the spammer who caused the initial irritation by sending yet another useless email.
Whereas I grew up in an agnostic household, and I’m still pretty strongly agnostic, especially as I’ve gotten into constructive mathematics (where we talk about provability, not truth). Maybe unlike you two, I just didn’t have anything to reject, so there was no need to look into the “other side”?

I like to say “if a god made me, it made me unable to believe in it”, which is certainly an interesting thought exercise, but not exactly inspiring.
Thinking Strategically. A great primer on game theory. Everything changed colors for me after I read this. Definite required reading for everyone.

Abundance. Problems of economic scarcity are really about access. Technology can solve those problems, and we're getting close to solving a lot of the biggest ones.

Borderless Economics. Immigration has a lot of huge benefits. But really, it's the best humanitarian tool advanced countries have.
What about class action? Could you make a class action against those who have sold your information?
"Compiling package A writes out enough information in the object file for A that compiling package B that depends on A can inline calls to functions in A"

So it records the calling convention, architecture flags, alignment, and other ABI pieces etc?
As well as an estimate of instruction-level inlining cost, summary info about arguments, etc, so you effectively decide whether inlining it will help or hurt, without having the IR around to try?

FWIW: Writing out the info is usually not the hard part, actually, and is unrelated to the DAG-ness of the packages.

GCC is just the perennial example here, but they refused to write it out for years for political reasons, not technical ones :)
A world-changing book, to be sure; though perhaps better to understand it in its cultural context, than to read it literally. In either case, for mature audiences only.
Which is why this game is about going back to its roots. All the way back to Zelda 1.

How is this illegal? Unethical, for sure, but illegal I don't see why. You don't need to spread malware to build a botnet, you could easily rent private proxies.
I read the Bible cover to cover. I liked the bible because it dealt with fear a lot. Fear of the guy coming over the hill and slaughtering your whole tribe on a moment's notice. Fear of your whole legacy being destroyed and lost when people you've never heard of show up. I also liked the view of god that he's a jerk, but that's all that there is. It was like they were trying to put together a worldview that corresponded to a reality where terrible things happen all the time, so they made god a jerk. I just think back to what people in the old testament had to deal with on a daily basis and think my life is really not that bad.

"Prices and Production and other Works" which is a compilation of F.A Hayek's work by Joseph Salerno. It contains a lot of great criticisms of Keynes theories during the 30s. I used to really think I could understand mainstream economics, but Hayek totally demolished it in my mind and I can't have productive discussions with academically trained economists anymore because I have to start over from first principles with them.

"The Edge Effect" by Eric Braverman was a great book for understanding my mind. I got a lot out of it and it changed my understanding of my personal psychology.
thanks for feedback! It was just a quick add when Ik noticed a ton of people from the UK trying to use it.
What would be a better way to communicate until other countries are supported? --most people don't make the connection that when I say only "Amazon.com" it refers to the country (i.e. not other retailers).

Correct, email is necessary to send the notification.
Dell is pretty bad. I get every month three (when one is more than enough) catalogs to my address, because of slight variances in my name, even though they are all the same person.
Perhaps public schools should be funded with something more fair and reliable, such as income taxes. (I'd go for wealth taxes as more fair, but that's a long shot.)
> Why would an electromagnet be any different?

Because the incoming electrically charged particle induces current in the coils of the electromagnet.

A permanent magnet does not have to deal with that - even if there is current it doesn't affect the magnetism in a permanent way.

Think about an electric solenoid: A stationary electromagnet does not consume power, a moving one does as it acts on the external magnets.
It's a feature that should be off by default. It's only useful in corporate intranets, where the corporate DHCP and DNS servers could provide a search list for finding local servers.
I had a similar experience. My first job out of college was for a Developer Role (building testing frameworks, maintaining and building browser extensions) but the job was titled 'QA Developer' so I had a hell of a time the first time I tried to find a new job. Never mind that I wrote thousands and thousands of lines of application code, lots of recruiters would deny me on the basis that my background didn't fit.

"Walden" by Henry David Thoreau. Truly did change the way I think about the world, the fundamentals of what is required for a free life, and how humankind so often tethers itself to a life of misery. Consider, for example, this quote: "The farmer is endeavoring to solve the problem of a livelihood by a formula more complicated than the problem itself. To get his shoestrings he speculates in herds of cattle. With consummate skill he has set his trap with a hair spring to catch comfort and independence, and then, as he turned away, got his own leg into it."

Or perhaps this: "I see young men, my townsmen, whose misfortune it is to have inherited farms, houses, barns, cattle, and farming tools; for these are more easily acquired than got rid of. Better if they had been born in the open pasture and suckled by a wolf [...] Why should they eat their sixty acres, when man is condemned to eat only his peck of dirt? Why should they begin digging their graves as soon as they are born? They have got to live a man's life, pushing all these things before them, and get on as well as they can. How many a poor immortal soul have I met well-nigh crushed and smothered under its load, creeping down the road of life, pushing before it a barn seventy-five feet by forty, its Augean stables never cleansed, and one hundred acres of land, tillage, mowing, pasture, and woodlot!"

I loved it, and I thank him constantly for reminding me of what it is to be born free.

I think you could add a UI project using Xamarin without much trouble and make the whole thing cross-platform with Linux, Mac and potentially Android/iOS support. From what I've seen the WPF-specific code is restricted to the AlephNote.App project in the WPF namespace. It should not be difficult to reuse the non-WPF code in a separate UI project.

I've been dying for an open-source replacement for Evernote and I've been looking for an opportunity to learn Xamarin so I'm willing to contribute this if you're interested.
Accessibility for all of the US? Indeed they did not, because it doesn't make sense. Students at Berkeley already have these transcripts available to them.
> my Software QA Engineer background + no CS degree implies I have no technical skill

It's OK to leave stuff out on your resume if it's not relevant (and maybe even harmful) to the position you're applying for.
Still not quite there.

FB's third party access to the messenger platform (aka you and the article calling it the bot api) is supposedly failing 30%.

That number, if I were to guess where it came from, likely came from the fact that a chat bot app has to be submitted to Facebook for approval. That means FB has a running tally of how many chat bot accounts exists within their ecosystem.

Maybe that number is 100k.

Likewise, because messages are passed to FB to then be passed to the user, FB has a runny tally of the sentimental analysis or even the blocking analysis (users have the option to block bot accounts).

From there they can ascertain that 70,000 bot accounts result in negative interactions, discontinued use, or results in the user banning the bot.

This is the equivalent of Apple opening up third party access to the Siri platform and seeing that developers and users don't like the 70% of the ways to interact with Siri. Or Amazon saying that users don't like 70% of the Alexa Skills available.
> first company policy would be to tell the candidates to tell why they were not hired in a polite way.

And your lawyers would strongly advocate against that.

In most cases they can't/won't tell you because it could open up legal liability. If they say a reason for you, but then hire someone else to whom that reason also applies and you find out, you could sue them. Or you could find a way to twist it into something against a protected class. Too many ways for the company to get screwed.

That's why they all say "we've decided to go another way" or something equally generic.

You're not paranoid, I don't know if money changes hands but my changes of address have 100% been accompanied by spam snail mail.

I held onto my books to have as references. Of course, this was back when the ubiquitous Internet and "instant access to everything" was some years away.

Why should I be reduced after leaving an education, to solely what I can remember in my head and what my current circumstances keep refreshed in my mind and memory? Education was an enormous investment not just of money but also of time and effort. It makes sense to me to keep the resources I used at hand; it helps keep my access to that education at hand.

Seen that way, while book prices are ridiculous, that expense as compared to the entire expense not just in money but in time and effort, is relatively small. It's an investment I've made against the future, where the best recollection and use of my education may be paramount.

And... Those prices are simply unfair. For a system that purports to provide its students tools for life -- not just formulae, but ways of thinking and being. To then increase the burden on those students of taking with them the references they used and might wish to retain as part of retaining that education... It seems that their actions in this matter oppose their rhetoric.

Then again, even when prices weren't so high, I saw a lot of my fellow students simply discarding their books -- at the end of semester, not just after graduation. Many people do "move on" and live "in the present."

Except, those people then seem to be the ones who can't recall what they learned, and who don't do as thorough and good a job in their work.

Living in the present, without the full benefit of history. And reacting based upon a more or less vague impression, rather than detailed knowledge.

What, really, do our institutions want us to retain? How do they want us to live our lives. As demonstrated through their actions -- e.g. these book prices -- rather than their rhetoric?

Anyway...

As for electronic copies. I find I read a lot better from printed pages than from screen. And, as others have pointed out, the "legitimate" electronic versions all too often come with electronic leases -- leashes -- with access deniable purposefully or inadvertently at any point in the future.

My Discrete Math book is still as accessible to me, today -- with any particular personal notes of interest and focus I may have added -- as it was when I bought it. I had to pay for it, and I've had to schlep it around. But I've also had to do that with my education, taking up premium space in my gray matter. I paid a lot more for the education; I hope and believe keeping the book handy helps me retain that larger value.

P.S. And I still find that the good books provide me more useful and valuable access to their information than an ever more cluttered and noisy Internet -- for all that their are many gems -- resources and contributors -- on it. These days, if you can only find them.
> Right, but where do they get their data?

You give it to them when you sign up for that stupid rewards card.
The point is, as usual, Go is trying to catch up to what everyone else has had for years. The use of non-standard terminology here is suspicious, raising the question that the Go people are trying to hide the fact that they are playing catch-up.
1. Mindset - changed how I view new things/ideas I encounter or things I want to learn. I have introduced this to my wife and she loved it. She has now adapted the growth mindset (what the book teaches about).

2. e-Myth Revisited - changed how I view and run business.
As a person who isn't Mormon, but was raised as such, including two years as a Mormon missionary--I feel like these resources have also fundamentally changed the way I think about the world. Even though me and the parent comment likely view them very differently, I think reading works like the Book of Mormon and those by Hugh Nibley was useful exposure to an interesting world of beliefs.

Is there any proof for this claim: "By inflating his numbers he was able to get funding from investors at better terms"

The article does state the inflated numbers were reported to investors, but what makes you think this was material in any way?
It's literally the first thing you learn in data science / machine learning coursework about evaluating model performance. It would probably be better to ask the candidate to whiteboard a set of metrics for evaluating model performance rather than ask for the definition of a pair of words, but the concept is practically the for-loop of data science.

Edit: note that I'm not saying you need this to add roi as an analyst for a business!
Does this send the users entire browsing history to Apozy?

If so, what bits are you sending? Just the top level domain, just FQDN, entire URL, or are you tracking engagement time on websites as well? How long will you maintain, or plan to maintain, the user's browsing history?

Any plans on monetizing the consumer end of this to build a profile of where the users are spending their time?
I actually am running a (year long) experiment. I found a data broker who had my info. They offered a way to "correct" the record, so I added a car that I don't own (who's warranty should be ready for extended warranty offers in a few months) and added many many "off by one" errors like an extra zero on my income, or transposed digits on the size of my house.

We'll see where it lands.

I personally would also pay for this sort of service.
How many notes have you tested this with?

Similar apps choke pretty hard on large collections of notes (1,000+)
I think it's slightly more complicated than you make it out. The FBI presumably has the resources to create the "two pins you cross or steps to remove some chip" and yet it still has to ask Apple for device access on newer iPhones.

Either this ability exists, and the FBI is hiding it via creating large numbers of device requests of Apple, or Apple is telling us the truth and the iPhone is not easily hacked.
thanks for letting me know! Just read the comment and have made quite a few fixes since then. I doubt it's still an issue but if you have time, I'd love to have confirmation. Thanks!
All my debit cards have had the same number on them for the past 5 years (at least). No part of it is my account number. I know it by memory. I have no evidence that it's been compromised.
The U.S. is far wealthier than any nation ever, including the U.S. of the 1930s and 40s (it's not even comparable). Whether or not it's funded has is not due to affordability.
Some companies allow their employees to sell a portion of vested stocks whenever they're doing a new round. SpaceX is one of the top examples I know of. This is how they retain the top talent.
+1 Thanks for actually posting a list!
The Hitchhiker’s Guide series was formative for my absurdist sense of humour and outlook on life. What a strange, hilarious, sad, and beautiful world we find ourselves in.
Having tried this in the past with personal programming languages, I always found I needed the parentheses to disambiguate control flow statements. You end up with stuff like:

if foo*bar baz()

...being parseable as either of these:

if (foo) { *bar } baz()
if (foo*bar) { baz() }

That example can be solved with enough lookahead but I think I found cases where it couldn't be (although I can't bring them to mind). Terminator tokens are another way to solve it, so you get Ada-style:

if foo*bar then baz() endif

...or Go-style:

if foo*bar { baz() }
"Only Yesterday" by Frederick Lewis Allen.

I first read it in history class in high school and have gone back and reread a few times since then, when society and politics began making me nervous. It's really fascinating to read about day-to-day things from a hundred years ago and find out just how little things have really changed.

Unlikely to be your doctor, even releasing your name in combination with the health provider's name provides evidence of a patient relationship and violates HIPAA.

Well, there could be a possible solution to your first problem: offer both a high priced one-time removal attempt, or a recurring subscription with a minimum contractual obligation (6 months for example).
Yeah, I read "Thus Spoke Zarathustra" in High School. It had quite an impact TBH. It really made me more confident with women and helped me to follow the "if you want something, go out and claim it" philosophy.
I think I found a bug the original game didn't had (or my dad fixed on my version...), but suiciding results in you getting the score. (example: I suicided as "player 2", the "player 1" made his victory dance, but the score counted 1 point for player 2)
Without context the second quote sounded to me not like an accusation of slacking but like a warning that the company is bad place to work at (poor life-work balance)...

It's great. I'd like more of a description up front of what it does, but beyond that, I have few complaints.
There is something more than just high production costs going on, though, for math books. Consider Apostol's "Calculus". Volume I new is $150-270 on Amazon. Volume II new is $160-270.

These were first published around 1961. A second edition of Volume I was published in 1967, and a second edition of Volume II in 1969. There have been no further editions. The schools that use Apostol today are still using those late '60s second editions.

They were about $20 per volume when I bought them in 1977, which is equivalent to about $80 per volume in today's money.
This is awesome. Where are you pulling this data from?
Make sure to tell them that you name in Jenny too.
I would have loved Skyward Sword if I could have skipped all the dialog, and if it didn't have that shitty linked chest mechanic. That game has some amazing moments, but the pacing really drags. It took over an hour for me to get into the first dungeon and feel like I was actually playing a game.

Breath of the Wild is interesting to me in that it has elements from all of my least favorite Zelda games but somehow makes it work. It's like Wind Waker except there's actually interesting stuff filling up all that empty ocean. It's like Skyward Sword without the rails. It's like Ocarina of Time if you didn't have to wait forever to get an opening to attack. It also feels a bit like Dark Souls but with a much more palatable aesthetic, and it's kinda like an Elder Scrolls game without the experience points.

Sorry, I was referring to literally most jobs, not just the ones in our industry. Electricians, plumbers, writers, accountants, etc. are not typically solving timed riddles and jumping through silly hoops to get their jobs. There will be technical questions, yes, but for the most part their experience is presumed and the employer assumes some risk by hiring them and having them go through a probationary period.
