underpaid yes.. but you are getting experience which is more valuable then another $10 an hour.
Firewall packet inspection is basically just unpacking protocols layer by layer. Once you find the TCP or HTTP layer, you see if what follows looks like a WebSocket, which has a unique fingerprint and predictable elements. You can also look at streams and find patterns, like how one packet looks like HTTP, and then the following ones on the same stream don't look like HTTP. Initial versions may not be very accurate, but on "extremely paranoid" settings you can simply reject traffic that seems suspicious.

Also, having the DoD as a client will buy you some serious R&D time.
At my office, we play darts and drink beer for the last hour and a half of every Friday. The majority of the time everyone is there and we spend a lot of time chatting while we play. It's fun and I really think it keeps everyone friendly, it's that much easier to remember the other person is a real person when you disagree.

Sometime people go out to a bar or something afterwards. I may feel like I'm missing out but it never feels like something I "should" be doing.

What definition or sense of 'canonical' do you mean? NFKC stands for "Compatibility Decomposition, followed by Canonical Composition", so it's canonical in some sense, right?
I would expect new AR versions of those things to supplant the current iterations.
I'm pretty sure that's not what the court would award you, i.e., a job. They would award damages in the form of lost potential income plus punitive damages.
Your whole comment is a perfect demonstration of what I'm saying. My point is not that Uber has no problems, but rather that people are blowing things out of proportion because they've taken an emotional dislike for the company. So people see what they want to see.

For instance, you see 3 billion in losses. In 2015 Q4, Uber generated $560M in net revenue. In 2016 Q1, $960M. Q2: $1100M. Q3: $1320M, and Q4: $1584M. I see massive growth, and massive expenditures into R&D which could be halted with relative ease if solvency becomes a problem.

You see the self-driving program as a boondoggle, and you see 6 blown red lights in 1 week as just a taste of nonfunctional technology that would have only caused more and more damage the more time it was allowed to be on the road. I see people trying to solve a difficult technical problem, and having some issues in an initial run-up test.

You see a company whose executives routinely berate their own Uber drivers. I see one dashcam video where the CEO has a human debate with one of his drivers, which has been extrapolated into a portrait of "the type of person this Kalanick guy really is".

I'm _not_ saying that they don't have their problems, or that it's impossible Uber is going to run into financial or regulatory trouble. But this sky-is-falling talk is not for me.
I am guessing one reason for the FBA program is it allows them to scale up their logistics operation larger than it would otherwise be, and that helps them lower the cost per item and out-compete other companies.

Remember, Amazon's long-term goal is to take over the world, and it needs to do all sorts of things to get there.
It feels like users don't care about security. Nearly all Android phones are not running a supported OS.[1] As an Android user it appears my only choice is a custom ROM or buying a new device every 2 years.

The problem with these "interview questions" is that knowing a algorithms inside out is not how you solve problems it is how yiu solve A SPECIFIC problem. The problemsolving skill comes from the reductions one can make and thus apply different algorithms in order to solve a new problem.
Stop? I can't wait for it to start!
I can't speak for the OP, but for me I've noticed this looking for hard-to-find specific products as well.

You will find that what appears to be wide availability is usually 2 or 3 third-party vendors spamming the same thing multiple times to multiple sites. This becomes especially apparent once you actually order something, and it takes 2 weeks for the vendor to say it's not in stock. Repeat that process across 4 or 5 major sites like amazon/jet/walmart/sears/newegg/etc. and it gets a bit tiring. Seemingly everyone now has a "marketplace" section and purposefully makes it difficult to filter it.

Basically it seems the "long tail" of on-line retail shares the same very few number of marginal-at-best players who take an approach of spamming tons of low quality listings in the hope of fulfilling even a fraction of it.

Once you look for it, you notice this pattern (e.g. a spelling mistake in a given part listing you need) quite often and realize it might even be a single "root" vendor after you get through the chains of middlemen.
>they want those that care more about having fun than just keeping their nose down and doing the work

This is purely anecdotal, but many 4.0 students I knew in college were not at all interested in "keeping their nose down and doing the work." They were 100% interested in having "4.0 GPA" on their resume which generally meant doing very well on tests, everything else be damned. So they were awful to have in a project groups and didn't participate in any activities because it didn't contribute to their GPA at all.

really?
Yeah, you could have multiple requests hanging open with the server to enable faster server sends (and if a client wants to send data rapidly it could make multiple parallel POST requests).

The downside is you end up with a complex stateful protocol, with multiple sockets, and need the ability to handle out-of-order data. If you're targeting a platform that can't do HTTP streaming, then sure, but otherwise this is a pretty gnarly road to go down.

My personal preference for long-polling is to use it for stateless / RESTful APIs that have infrequent updates. Super clean, easy to use from the client's perspective, and efficient enough. I would not use it for stateful communication (IMO SockJS and Engine.IO are gross but I understand why they exist).
Keep in mind that the theoretical work in machine learning tends to come from a rather different academic sphere from a lot of work in application. That means a different professional vernacular, different notational conventions, and different ways of expressing certain concepts.

I don't think it's quite reasonable to fault an academic for writing under the conventions of their field. That's not being needlessly obtuse, that's being as clear as possible for the intended audience. There's no call for sour grapes just because you happen to not be the intended audience of an academic paper in a field you don't actively participate in.
Doing-the-best-we-can science is valuable. But we should be careful about turning it into policy. I'd rather stick with tradition than very uncertain science.
younger engineers "want" tough I want 50k a year
The last time I listed a $120K job opening I had hundreds of resumes thrown at me, over 10[1] of them were completely qualified and So perhaps it would be more accurate to say "$80K/yr programmers are scarce."

In 1999 when I was hiring programmers and offering above market starting salaries I wouldn't get any qualified resumes.

It is from that experience that would assert it is a 'pricing' issue rather than a 'selection' issue.

[1] After 10 qualified I had my first interview round, 3 were brought back for secondary interviews and one hired. I expect there were easily 20 - 30 engineers in there that could have done the job.
What evidence do you have to support the idea that people "did it with 'no problems'"? Why does the profession of a "Butcher" exist ? How about Hindu's, Buddhists etc?

Maybe people used to enjoy a a more symbiotic relationship with their livestock / prey which doesn't exist now with advent of factory farming, it's just pure exploitation and obviously. I'm sure not everyone in the middle ages or ancient hunter gathered societies would've been fine with that.

Also, the world's population doesn't live in rural areas according to the UN: http://www.un.org/en/development/desa/news/population/world-...
These sorts of charts always fall short because they never explain how they were influenced. If you're not in the know already, this provides little information to you. Prolog influenced Clojure, but how? If I didn't already know about core.logic, I'd be scratching my head about why. And even then, it took me a good minute to rack my brain to think of some possible way they were connected because it's not obvious.
Amazon might care when entire warehouses are locked down for investigation. It's systemic after all.
The average public school in the United States spends $11,000 to $12,000 per student per year. Assuming a modest 4% return on investments, that adds up to just about $200,000 in thirteen years (K-12).
I'd rather have that data than not have it. But of course, it's Amazon's platform.
I stand corrected. Smarter every day they say !
The politicians do intervene directly

So it would be actually better if they did less intervening, by not offering tax breaks to Amazon.
>It is true, of course, that physics chooses certain mathematical concepts for the formulation of the laws of nature, and surely only a fraction of all mathematical concepts is used in physics. It is true also that the concepts which were chosen were not selected arbitrarily from a listing of mathematical terms but were developed, in many if not most cases, independently by the physicist and recognized then as having been conceived before by the mathematician. It is not true, however, as is so often stated, that this had to happen because mathematics uses the simplest possible concepts and these were bound to occur in any formalism.

That last point is unconvincing. Maybe they aren't the simplest possible concepts, but it surely must be the case that had we evolved in any universe, we would have sought to understand it and would have formalized that understanding. That's not all that math is, but it has led to several popular branches of it. Surprising? Unreasonable? Not at all.
Manufacturers selling direct via ecommerce is a very new phenomenon (last 10 years). Before Amazon, there was an entrenched network of distributors and exclusive contracts in both directions of the supply chain. Amazon has busted this wide open.

It is important to understand that FBA largely pushes the administration and supply chain overhead down to small time individual resellers, utilizing their willingness to do free labor.

Amazon encouraged this behavior, gave blind eye to counterfeiters, and making ecommerce too hard to ignore for mfgs to compete on directly.

IP has never been efficient to enforce, old school exclusive/protective contracts masked this, but now the emperor has no clothes.
I want to add something to my snappy answer. Age discrimination is just another facet of lack of diversity and rejection of difference that plagues many industries.

Your well-intentioned comment has the pattern:

"I've worked with some extremely smart <class of people>, who <positive comment>. My impression is that usually, in my experience, <display a different pattern of thinking to what I expect>. They also seem to usually not go out to happy hours/events with the team to get to know one another as often, so they're excluded a little more, which leads to fewer people getting to know them.

It's just that most of the <class of people> I have personally met seem to have the traits I described above. This would give me a little pause when choosing between equal candidates for, say, an angular dev position where both candidates have equal experience in the stack, but the <class of people> one has the baggage(?) of <difference>. I would likely have an unconscious bias to hire the <more similar to the norm> one."

Now, replace <class of people> with "women" or "muslims" and think about how it feels for people to be cast in a generalization. If it's not right in those cases, it's not right for experienced developers either.
Why is this hard to understand?

You don't create a hip, cool, sexy work environment filled with hot, good-looking people who all want to bang each other by hiring some old geezers with grey beards.

Everyone should be under 30 and look like an actor from a Crest Whitestrips commercial.

How Subtle Class Cues Can Backfire on a Resume (2016)
Gopreload: LD_PRELOAD for the Gopher crowd
Citation requested.

The ICE originated ... about 1880. Innovation in ICEs and automobiles peaked around the 1920s (Robert J. Gordon, The Rise and Fall of American Growth, 2016), and for aviation, jet propulsion excepted, about a decade later. Even jet aviation's progressed comparatively little since the 1960s, with most advances being in materials and control systems. Actual travel experience has declined as a function of total speed (though safety has improved).

I'm not discounting the possiblity that the ICE saw patent-induced retardation in development (the case is strongly made for steam power and Watt's extended patents, expiring in 1800). But I'd really like to see a source.

It's already possible to carry ~256 GB to 1 TB data on a device, MicroSD format. With a storage array (a battery of MicroSD cards), multiple TB.

Local wired (or Bluetooth) data transmission will beat the Cloud on performance, not rely on third party security, and be immune from interruptions.

I see strong potential for movement away from the cloud.

The article is on point about how we need better data infrastructure to support data scientists and analysts. In the past I've worked to develop very scalable data infrastructure to support data science workloads on high variety sensor dat,a but it always felt like the only reason we were doing it was that nobody developed tools made for companies like ours.

We can build better data infrastructure for data scientists, but in practice it's hard to sell "10x easier to use" into organizations with hadoop or half-broken bespoke infrastructure because the IT groups running the show don't really care that they're making their data scientists miserable.

If change is to come, it's going to have to be from data scientists embedded within business units demanding better tools, because hadoop works just fine if you don't care how hard it is for your users to access their data.
I haven't seen crossbar.io, so I can't really comment, but the features that you describe sound fantastic for making web apps. Do you think django-channels gets us much of the way there?
> Rich neighborhoods get more, owing to the greater property taxes collected and the ratio of local/state/federal (approx 50/43/7 in CA).

Usually not. School funding is not allocated at the "neighborhood" level but instead the county level. There is almost no difference between per student funding between the richest and poorest counties: http://hechingerreport.org/the-gap-between-rich-and-poor-sch... ("I keep specifying 'state' and 'local' funding because the picture gets more complicated when you factor in federal funding. Once you do, almost all of the funding gaps disappear.").

You can argue that poorer students should get more funding than richer ones to help equalize other gaps. I'm not sure I agree with that. Most of that money would go to middle class teachers and administrators. I bet those kids would be better off if you just wrote them a check (or put the money in a trust fund that would then pay them an extra couple of hundred dollars every month for the rest of their lives).
I didn't see this mentioned in the blog posts but I believe Edge also has win32k filtering[1] to reduce the kernel attack surface as well (added in the AU). This is different from the win32k lockdown that Chrome uses which completely blocks all win32k syscalls but instead allows a whitelist(?) for acceptable syscalls to help reduce the attack surface (I'm not actually sure how it works).

It seems the signature is checked before allowing this mitigation so only Microsoft signed applications can currently use this mitigation[1].

With my team, we have developed using Angular 2.0 beta candidate mid-size banking application for one of the biggest swiss banks, plus complex hypothec management and transfer application which is public on the bank website. We pretty much managed to release the apps before actual Angular 2 official release, and then we upgraded apps to official versions. It was really interesting to experience and it all went really smooth but we had to use Redux (just a note). So yes, there are some of us who are doing production ready code before the actual frameworks are released. Bold move, but a smart one in our case. Apps are almost bug-free (really edge cases are minor bugs). I do have to note that we are all Full Stack Java devs who have experience in banking and complex applications for a long time, plus we focused a lot on Angular in the past, so this transition with Typescript and Angular 2 syntax was a charm for us.
I'm pretty sure suing a potential employer would be a career-damaging move in the eyes of other employers.
I think most tech workers would know the market rates for their position at least 1 year into their first job. Even if they don't want to - e.g. the recruiter who placed them calls them up 6 months later for a friendly chat. "We just want to check that you are happy!".
Wow, this is was a really interesting, albeit sad read. Thanks.
Apple taking action against one of its biggest merchants in the US? you must be joking right?
Are you talking about WS itself, or this tunnel thing? Because I was just talking about WS itself, which doesn't have any TCP over it, it's just framed data over regular TCP.

Anyway, looking at the code of this tool, it doesn't seem like there's any actual TCP being tunneled; from what I can tell, the raw TCP terminates in the application, and the data is piped directly into the WS connection. That's why you have to choose a static target, whereas with a TCP tunneling system like iodine, you can use it as an open gateway.

Fair enough on the raw socket, I meant a TCP socket.
apparently, one of the crimes Amos Yee was convicted of in Singapore involved making disparaging remarks about both Muslims and Christians. and that sort of speech can actually be a crime in Singapore (as it can in the EU).

so, after the US granted him asylum, some in the SG government noted that there are plenty of other people in the world who are making these kinds of illegal "hate speech" statements who ought to also be granted asylum in the US.

as an American, i don't always know what to make of this. free speech means different things in different democracies. the US definition of free speech rights is not the only game in town, or even the best game in town (?).

fascinating.
I would guess that it is tougher to secure the OS when you don't own the hardware, although I don't know enough about this to comment
Last time I looked at it, properly authenticating the browser clients made it quite hard to use (you could get an auth-less prototype up quite quickly, and then had to replace basically everything with RPC calls to add the necessary security checks, unless we missed a key trick). I assume this has changed?

Fair points. If I were a VC, I wouldn't be thrilled with Kalanick at the helm, even if I wasn't about to sell sell sell.

I get why people might be concerned about the operating losses, at least to first order. But I just don't see the structure of how people think this disintegration is going to happen. To me, it looks like a very solid business model that makes tons of cash and spends tons of cash (like Amazon). I don't see some kind of tower of Babel built entirely on the perception of value that could topple at any moment (Twitter). People love using ride-sharing apps, and there's no way that's going to change in the near future.

Even if their self-driving-car play isn't working out, I don't see why it has to pan out _now_. They can always just fall back on their massively successful core business..
