You mean `Ctrl-xCtrl-f`? That's `Ctrl-x Ctrl-f`. In terms of how it parses, after `Ctrl-`, the next token must be a single character (a key) is accepted. So `Ctrl-x` completes that particular accord and `Ctrl-f` is the accord following it.

I would guess 'management' would be the more likely target. In jobs like sales and administration, being able to rapidly switch focus to what just came up is advantageous. The people on the manufacturing floor or operations I have worked with have the same issues with being interrupted during their work, though it's often an engineer that's the culprit. (Managers can quantify 'blue colar' productivity losses easier.)
No worries! Thanks for correcting it.
For a general search engine, no, there isn't.

The upfront capital investment, in terms of the data center capacity necessary to make a modern scraping and search infrastructure, is immense. And since the ad-word business model does not scale linearly with market share – e.g. the market leader collects a disproportionate share of the available profit – you will be losing additional money for a long time.

Since the market leader is good enough that it isn't possible to disrupt the market purely through result quality (as Google did), you will need to rely on bigger and more effective marketing spend. Not only will you have to outspend and outperform Google, but also Microsoft/Bing, who have tried to do the same thing for years, with only limited success.

Even if you have the funding necessary to do all of this, then you would be better off either buying shares in an existing search engine company, or starting a business in a different market, one with lower upfront costs and less dominant incumbents.
The main performance problem isn't message passing itself but the required context switches.

With a monolithic kernel, with disk io as an example and presented in a very primitive form:

Userspace -> Kernel -> Userspace.
Makes 2.

With a microkernel:

Userspace -> Kernel -> IO Service -> Disk Driver -> (IO Service) -> Kernel -> Userspace

Makes 5-6 context switches (at least) for a single disk read, since everything runs in an isolated process, and a context switch is quite expensive (saving & restoring registers, etc).

You can mitigate and optimize this though...
In other news, water is wet. This is exactly working as intended. If I control the website superawesomepaypalscam.com then I should be able to get a DV (domain validated, it's in the name) SSL certificate for it. It doesn't matter what I intend to use the website for.
Not quite the same thing, but DVDFlick lets you play Tetris while your DVD is being authored and burned, which was a nice suprise.

> That would imply that there is no security benefit whatsoever provided by a DV certificate.

The security benefit is that the connection to the server is authenticated and encrypted. Nobody in between can inspect or mutate the data. This is a huge win over unauthenticated HTTP.

Probably the sense that your livelihood (survival) is dependent on something arbitrary and potentially inaccurate/unfair.

I think it has value as a framework for someone doing hiring, basically just as a memory-jog for what to talk about in an interview. This would be only after going through and editing it - refining a criterion here, redefining one there, adding a row here, deleting one there, to make it fit the situation. But even then, it shouldn't be taken too rigidly. It's an approximation.

I was wondering how this was related to ecomstation as well. It looks like this company was founded by ex-ecomstation employees: https://web-beta.archive.org/web/20160324222948/https://www....
>Arca Noae was founded in July, 2014 when several of the developers who previously worked on the eComStation project felt that the future for the platform looked bleak, a feeling which came about due to lack of progress (or any work being done at all), therefor demonstrating a distinct lack of commitment on the part of the projects new owner.

>> It is astonishing how fast a computer is without the overhead most modern languages bring in.

The other interesting thing with high level languages (using Python as an example) is that a small number of features that are not often used keep the language from running significantly faster (see PyPy for example).

Seems like there should be room for a language with slightly reduced set of Python features (Py--) which runs much faster.
Yeah. If you have $50,000 in gains but $53000 in losses, then that's called a bad year.

Did the requesters of that actually control those domains (hint: they didn't)? If I register the domain superawesomepaypalscam.com then that is my domain name. Since it is my domain name and I can control it, obviously I can get a domain validated SSL certificate for it.

If I don't control example.com, then obviously I should not be able to get a domain validated SSL certificate for it. If I did, I would be able to MITM people trying to visit example.com (which is not my website), and that is bad.

This entire situation is basically working as intended.
There's no need for snark.

My point still stands. Statistical significance for upper class men vs. upper class women is never mentioned.

The statistics in this instance are cooked and very misleading. It does not prove the author's point. The major claim in this article is that upper class men did much better than upper class women:

> Why did the higher-class man do so much better than the higher-class woman?

Yet the statistic only compares upper class men to everyone else.

Why did the authors choose to only mention the p-value for one category vs. everyone else? Why not other data slices?

The authors clearly calculated the p-value between individual groups (from their "not statistically significant" comment). Why did they not list these values?

It's a choice between negligent data analysis or intentional omission.

I am dubious about the claims made about gender. In particular, it's against the law to discriminate, so, why would anyone make those statements publicly? From my own experience in hiring, I've never heard any of those excuses, save one. Child bearing age was mentioned once, which I dismissed.

Anecdotally, I have spoken with a close friend of mine who runs a recruitment business and has so for many years. She has said to me numerous times that she prefers to avoid female senior candidates as they are "the worst". She described them as often being arrogant, pushy, aggressive, opinionated and intolerant among other negative terms. She occasionally tells me of a surprise female candidate which means she's not closed minded, just jaded. She, like me, often uses the term cultural compatibility to differentiate qualified candidates and I've heard her say several times "I would not inflict her on any company, no matter what I think of [that conpany]".

In case you're wondering, names are never mentioned. I'm an ear to vent to after she's been abused and we're socialising over a coffee.

Is she prejudiced? I don't see her that way (she's very open minded on everything I can think of), except her dislike of political correctness and media. I share those last two vices.

There are way more than two things that Google does wrong. Remapping my search terms into oblivion so it can pretend it's fast is the worst one. Especially when this happens to a query I've modified to quote "every" "single" "flipping" "term." I think Google is cheating, and that their usable index is much shallower than they'd have you believe.

What's needed is a search engine with functional queries (as opposed to Google, which now only operates in "the user is drunk" mode), that doesn't give a damn about your robots.txt, and that can capture content in a way that is more akin to archive.org than Google's shoddy and increasingly absent cache.

Another issue is spam/false matches. Why does Google return illegitimate results? Because, let me tell you, any search for "some nifty computer book pdf" returns pages upon pages of bogus links leading to ad link mazes. A crawler should be able to trivially crawl such a page, determine that no PDF is linked, and blacklist the result, but this doesn't happen.

Google is slow and preoccupied. Their business is ripe for disruption.

I've heard that modern processors are designed with the expectation (or even a requirement) that no more than 10% of the chip will be active at once. In addition, there are power density constraints (even those 10% of the chip that can be active at once must not be concentrated in the same spot).
There is some precedent for similar situations, where entities like domain registrars are named/shamed for not trying to filter shady looking stuff.

Personally, I don't see how it makes sense for a domain registrar, CA, web hosting provider, etc, to have to figure this out, but...

- Legitscript, some kind of consortium meant to block internet sales of pharma products named/shamed a domain registrar https://www.legitscript.com/blog/2012/12/internet-bs-domain-...

- Markmonitor, some service sold to big brands to protect their brands, also does some name/shame type reports: http://www.circleid.com/posts/best_worst_phishing_domain_reg...

Some approaches to detecting it exist, like this "deceptive domain" score from Netcraft: https://www.netcraft.com/anti-phishing/deceptive-domain-scor... I assume, though, they are just doing some fancy string matching with a few other features (character lookalikes, xlate to punycode, etc). I imagine that both the "false positive" and "false negative" rates are pretty bad.
Ryan Sleevi (Google's representative on the CA/B forum) has tweeted about what the CAs want and why they attack Let's Encrypt: they want the right to censor the internet.

Checking LE's stats page, they've issued over 30M certificates. 15k (hell, even 150k) certs used for nefarious purposes are nothing compared to the public good they're doing.

Also, LE did nothing wrong by issuing these certs (unlike a certain CA that issued bogus certs and will hopefully be kicked out of browsers soon): it's not a CA's role to dictate what a domain is used for.

Narcissism, I would argue, is a far more dangerous thing than TV. The author's narcissism lets her celebrate all these unlikable cliches: being a fitness guru, being an "aspiring writer," being an academic overachiever, having a perfect husband and incoming baby or whatever. Then the style: preachy, written in the first person, chronologically. As though the only way to write about yourself is like an upbeat propaganda travel log.

The beautiful thing about a show like Friends is that it takes broken people and makes them likeable. Girls does a great job at mocking a character like the author, and arguably does more to encourage people to do good for themselves than the author does.
is the duty of the Home Secretary (and the UK's various nosey institutions - e.g. intelligence agencies, police, etc) to continuously badger us for this information - unfortunately, it's pretty much part of the job description.

On the contrary. The Home Secretary is literally the holder of the ministerial authority that is required for police and security services to use a lot of the powers they have, and is supposed to be providing oversight and ensuring that those powers are used responsibly.

Unfortunately, that means the Home Secretary spends several hours every day just looking at cases presumably involving some very nasty people. You have to wonder how anyone could keep a balanced perpsective if they're doing that for 20, 30, 40 hours every week for months or years. Everyone who becomes HS in the UK turns into a severe authoritarian within a few months of taking the job, regardless of their prior political views or how reasonable they might be about other matters.
I was also a bit offended by the premise that TV (or video games) has any causal relationship with achievement. I think it's the other way around, some people are not ambitious and spend their idle time watching TV. But watching TV does not keep you from realizing your ambitions. Completely uncorrelated in my view.

I'm a high-producing programmer, and TV and video games play an essential role for me (as does exercise) to restore mental energy.

Actually, I'm a PhD student myself, and Netflix/Amazon/Twitch is how I decompress at the end of a long day of classes and/or research.

As the author observes, even if you stop watching TV, it doesn't mean you'll automatically be more productive. It's a struggle.
As others have pointed out, what this comment proposes is wildly different to what Wealthfront and Betterment do. Active trading, algorithmic or otherwise, is unlike buy and hold investing which Betterment and Wealthfront advise. Buy and hold is also simpler. The value-add of a robo-advisor for buy and hold is automating:

A) Keeping a portfolio balanced and

B) Taking advantage of a fairly specific set of tax loopholes in order to make those investments slightly more tax friendly. (where "slight" can become substantial over a 15+ year period of compound interest)

I know that some programmers have written code to automate their Vanguard accounts into something similar to a robo-advisor. This, to me, is much closer to programmers taking an interest in self-built robo than what the parents proposes.

Auto-rebalancing is fairly easy, you setup your account to put deposits and dividends into a money-market account then write a script which moves money from the money-market account into ETFs at the correct ratios. Tax-loss harvesting is slightly more complex but is doable.

Except it's none of these things: electron apps suffer the same presentation-before-content problems as most of the web, they inherit all of the state bugs of web apps, and they're painfully slow despite usually just being menus of nested lists and text boxes. It's passing a burden from developers to users, which considering the huge asymmetry between these two groups that's typical (at least 3 orders of magnitude, and often 6 or more) is an enormous inefficiency.

I'm all for selecting tools and platforms to better optimize developer productivity, but it's not clear to me the web platform has actually accomplished that for all but a few types of applications, and pushing it to the desktop is resulting in cumbersome, unresponsive, needlessly fragmented interfaces.
