Not only the ignorance part that drives me mad, but how come so many men can be extremely obsessed about sexual performance?

Reproduction is literally the basic reason for living. For many people, it's the only reason for living. If you're not philosophically or artistically inclined, what else is there? Eating and sleeping so you can work until you die isn't satisfying, especially when it's extremely obvious that people who are luckier or less scrupulous than others work much less and gain much more. Sex is a fairly democratic comfort in that respect; if you're into someone enough to have sex with them, it's similarly enjoyable whether you're rich or poor. If someone is heavily invested in sexual pleasure and loses access to it then getting that ability back is worth a high price.

Now why people buy rhino horn when they could just get viagra or any number of illegal drugs like cocaine that would have similar effects, I have no idea. Probably nominally law-abiding people who have convinced themselves that laws and rules are what make us superior to animals, so that laws and rules about animal welfare can be ignored. Many people have such epistemological blind spots.
> Greg is a world-class recruiter (he plans every detail of interviews, heavily researches candidate’s backgrounds, sends thoughtful and persistent followups, and so on), and I now believe even more strongly that someone on the founding team has to be an amazing recruiter.

The early openAI team is clearly superb. What's even more impressive to me, is that the quality of the team has remained incredibly strong as the team grew to 45+ people: IMO/IOI medalists, startup founders and key contributors, world-class Phd's who could easily get tenure-track positions at top universities, etc. [1] [2]

It's not uncommon for a startup to have a strong founding team. It's almost unheard of that just about every single individual of a 45+ person team is objectively exceptional.[3]

Not sure how much Greg is still involved in recruiting, but either way, congrats.

[3] I don't know any startups in which all of the first 50 employees were truly exceptional prior to them joining the company. I guess Google, for example, might have had an incredibly strong early team, but I'm not sure they were as strong prior to them joining Google.

The issue isn't facts. The issue is our worldview. If it is a binary worldview (Good vs Evil) then what we don't agree with is always bad/evil (Black Hat Cowboy) and what we do agree is good/good (White Hat Cowboy).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_and_white_hat_symbolism_...

So when our side makes a mistake we defend and spin till it is okay for us to still think of them as wearing a White Cowboy Hat. Anything good will also have conspiracies and spin so that they always wearing a Black Cowboy Hat.

If you want evidence ask anyone with a strong feeling for Trump/Clinton and you will see this in action.

The issue is when people change their minds (with a binary worldview) it isn't accepting a small fact but it is a whole worldview change of astronomical proportions. I feel that people have gotten more and more binary and we need more shades of gray where it isn't world changing to accept a problem with a fact.

It sounds like you're just saying this without doing any kind of real comparison between the probably very different scenarios.
No need to keep asking. If your get is telling you that something's not quite with this "unlimited vacation" policy -- it's because it's a sham, basically.

And everyone at the company knows it -- including and most especially, upper management. Because that's after all where it originated.
> YC at this moment is able to recruit the absolute top talent for any position they can envision.

Absolute top talent? I think you are blinded by the light of YC. Not everyone thinks that or even close to it. [1] [2] By way of example I am reminded when I told a young person that I was helping to look on the page of a vc/angel investor that I do work for and know (among many). I said 'look at what they are doing I can get you an easy interview at any of those companies even if they don't have an opening'. They looked (was a woman iim) and said 'no thanks looks like they are all doing strange weird stuff'. This particular person preferred a traditional and solid company I am guessing, not a shot at the moon. And there are plenty of people like that. Plenty of smart capable people in the world and not all would die to work for a YC company or YC affiliated venture.

[1] Note I make money off the shot at the moon company so don't take this as some kind of sour grapes..

[2] And while most people know who Mark Zuckerberg or Jeff Bezos are (what I will call 'the aunt' test) most people have never heard of Sam, PG or YC for that matter.

Furthermore, from the point of view of the end-user, the important point is that WhatsApp and Signal are not necessarily secure to use. The exact nature of the security hole is not as important for the vast majority of users.

I think if I was doing operations for a company using a static site I would end up with something similar.

I suppose my original perspective was coming from a one-person operation.
IIRC there was a claim that the shells with the proximity fuses were also used, likely by Patton's forces, in the Battle of the Bulge. Supposedly having the shells explode at a carefully determined distance above the ground made the shells especially effective against German ground troops.

IIRC the proximity fuses were developed at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (JHU/APL); that is the story I got when I worked there.

IIRC, the shells were also especially effective as anti-aircraft artillery.
As a counter-example, try buying a Baytrail/CherryTrail laptop with Windows 10. Now try to install OS X. Oh, you can't since it's not a Mac.

All the time the argument is given that OS X has much better hardware support than Linux, which is just not true. It might be true for OS X on a Mac compared to Linux on unspecified hardware. However, if you constrain the hardware choices even half as much as you do for OS X, that's not the case anymore.
The most critical quote from the article: "Kalanick’s mistake was in not clearly defining, communicating, and enforcing accountability on actions that pushed the line but had nothing to do with the company’s regulatory fight. In fact, it was even more critical for Uber than for just about any other company to have its own house in order; the very nature of the company’s business created the conditions for living above the law to become culturally acceptable — praised even."

This seems like an excellent description of the problem: if you're going to run a company that intentionally pushes the boundaries of specific regulatory restrictions (in order to demonstrate a better result that can only happen without them, to get popular backing for removing them), then you need to draw a clear internal dividing line between the risky actions taken in support of that goal and all the other areas in which the company should act as a model for upstanding behavior.

We have three IPs, because my wife loves them. Pretty much everything she makes is a one pot meal that is easily freezable. She gets most of the recipes from various IP groups on Facebook. Perhaps you'll want to find those to get what you want.

She ends up not having to do a lot of experiments because the other people in the group do it and report back. She's actually started doing some reporting back too.
Then you fall into a specific scenario where you need someone who has a very specific keyword on a Resume.

It has nothing to do with money. It's about ruining your life trying to make something work that just isn't going to work. I put my company before friends, family, and my health.

It's easy after-the-fact to see that, but it's hard to know when it's happening. Possibly the most celebrated entrepreneur is Elon Musk, and I don't think there's any question he put his company before his personal life multiple times in order to succeed. But how many other people have done that and then failed? It can leave you as a shell of your former self.

Everybody talks about the upside. Nobody wants to talk about the downside.

I've been thinking a lot about this as it relates to the "fake news" trend. Journalists have been using real information to lead people to wrong conclusions. Now we are very concerned about political sites using false information to lead people to wrong conclusions. Fake facts are bad but using facts to mislead people does damage to people's trust as well.
Or the (fortunately no longer common) trend in the 1990s of "colorizing" black and white movies under the misconception that this would make them better, ignoring that people filming in black and white took advantage of the medium for things like shadows that actually worked better there than in color.
If only all those who were pro-war could see innocent children operated on without anaesthetic, if they could see the true brutality of war then perhaps we would live on a more peaceful planet.

I think you've misjudged a significant portion of human psychology. The torturous death of human children as a reason for peace? No! That's an injustice that demands retribution. It's a cause for war.

Just look at the Spanish civil war. The Republican faction wanted to vilify the Nationalists bring people to their side so they published pictures of children killed in Nationalist shelling.

In more recent years, Syrian rebels attempting to get the West to intervene against Assad published footage of dead children being mourned by their parents.

I'm surprised so much of this work done by NSA is being duplicated by the CIA. Not just a waste of tax payer money but also an even larger risk of lacking oversight than NSA. We all knew NSA was doing this stuff and dug into their oversight mechanisms. But the CIA is a larger and better funded organization than the NSA, so the implications of this are as large as the Snowden stuff.

Not to mention that before Obama left office he made intel sharing between these agencies and domestic agencies even easier. So this can't easily be dismissed as 'not surprising that spy agencies are hacking foreign entities'.

This just provides further insight into how widespread these powerful tools are within the US government.

Whether it's surprising or not is not really the only relevant question.
Eh, I don't think a post-mortem is really necessary. They said it was a broken code change on the status page. If they wrote a post-mortem, it'd probably just say "A team member forgot to foobar the bazqux when deploying an update. We immediately followed our playbook for rolling back a failed deployment and restored service within 9 minutes."
Another fan here. There are some rough spots and there doesn't seem to be much done to fix them. I have already cloned the source but haven't found the time to build it yet.

My main gripe is that it doesn't treat closing the window as "exit", which means you must go to menu and select Exit if you want to remove session cookies and similar.

> If the demand is so high, how about farming? Or are there restrictions on the kind of animals may be breed in farms?

Ethics of keeping large plains grazing mammals aside, farming large mammals like rhinos would be very expensive and costly. It would also take quite a while to get up and running. Gestation period for larger mammals is very long. Cows about 9 months reaching maturity within 3 years; Rhinos are 16-18 months, 6-7 years to maturity (for females, males do in 10-12 years); and even longer time ranges for elephants. They also consume a much more food, cows 24/lbs of hay per day and rhino's 120 lbs/day.
More than facts and logic, is a big "why" ? People use "facts" to satisfy their relative ego (point or surface) and will stop digging for reason or distort said facts to reach that goal.

When you stop arguing and start agreeing, it's a whole different game.

That's why the whole political paradigm is obsolete. Rallies and speeches are mostly emotional drivers. They amplify the problem naturally (it's a nice form of competition).
The Android security model doesn't work that way. Non-system applications can't access the kernel, minus a local EOP or something like that.

Is that your concern? And if so, why are you concerned specifically about Google apps? Any malicious app can exploit a local EOP.
There's also an argument to be made that Hillary would not have been the nominee had the DNC played fair. The leaked emails show that they actively worked to suppress Bernie, who had huge rallies, similar to Trump.

You mean some of the public loses. Others in the public never had access to lose.

Excerpt from abstract of the paper[0] linked elsewhere in this thread:

>A media content analysis of Chinese (n = 332) and western newspapers (n = 166) from 2000 to 2014 revealed significant differences between perceptions of rhino horn consumption. In Chinese media, rhino horn product acquisition was most frequently reported for investment and collectible value (75%), artistic value (40%), and medical value (29%). In contrast, western media alleged consumption of rhino horn in China was mostly for their medical value (84%)

Doesn't matter when Naples launches, there will be no motherboards.
>" just the fact that the 17 agencies all agree based on what they've seen believe that to be the case."

This simply isn't true. The whole "17 agencies" thing is a talking point that first came up in one of Hillary Clinton's debates and gets repeated without challenge.

The "17 agencies" didn't all independently make their own assesments about what happened and decided it was the Russians. Instead, James Clapper (at the time, the Director of National Intelligence) made the claim that the Russians were behind certain hacks. Clapper is the ultimate head of sixteen out of seventeen of the agencies.

The actual agencies involved include parts of the coast guard and the department of energy and other groups that seem REALLY unlikely to have conducted an in-depth, independent investigation into the hacking of a politician's emails.

Also, this is the same James Clapper who lied under oath to congress. Specifically, when asked “Does the NSA collect any type of data at all on millions or hundreds of millions of Americans?” He responded, “No, sir.” Wyden asked “It does not?” and Clapper said, “Not wittingly."

This is perjury and he should have been prosecuted for it. At a minimum, lying under oath makes it less likely that anything else he claims should be taken at face value.
I've developed quite a few languages:

(1) Strix, a rule-based language with SNOBOL4-style string pattern matching.

(2) ENeMaL, a rule-based expert network management language.

(3) Gossip, an object-oriented Prolog

(4) Emblem, a Lisp dialect.

I've been using Emblem to develop

(5) Full Metal Jacket, a visual dataflow language (http://web.onetel.com/~hibou/fmj/FMJ.html)

There will always be a demand for domain-specific languages. I'd think hard about developing general-purpose languages. There are plenty out there already, and you could contribute towards them instead.

If you want to develop a new language for release, it's a good idea to develop several others first for your own use to gain some practice and learn what's involved.

Why have I developed Emblem? I wanted something simpler than Common Lisp, but didn't want to rely on third party libraries. It has support for 2d and 3d graphics, statistics, symbolic AI and a few other things.

Why have I been developing Full Metal Jacket? I wanted something significantly better than Lisp, with directed graphs as the fundamental data structure, extreme type safety, and the ability to run efficiently on multiple CPUs.

It isn't ready for release yet, and I'm taking a break from it at the moment. I'll consider it a success when I start using it in preference to Emblem.
It's probably just a smokescreen to divide the attention of people concerned about healthcare between this distraction and the bill repealing the ACA, Medicaid, etc.
You should consider the assumption that your security IS compromised at any given point in time (bypassed or whatever) then you could foresee and prevent some worst case scenarios which usually come from hubris nonetheless ("hey, our app is 100% secure and tested by the top security experts - not like other apps on the market").

The XSS was related to the filenames.

Although most operating systems don't allow users to upload files containing greater-than/less-than symbols, it's possible to add them by tampering the requests and changing the filename.

From there you could change the filename to "<script>alert("xss")</script>" and run an XSS.
This has now been patched by encoding the characters.

That's an extremely oversimplified explanation of the world.

Completely agree that "sidestep" would have been a much better choice. I think the title is technically correct but that doesn't mean much since context matters a lot.
