Replace 'physical' with 'cryptographic' and 'authority response time' with 'reasonable amount of time'. It's literally the same thing.

We are talking jobs not the consequence of not having jobs. Point is there are a lot more who have jobs which arent actually jobs on any way comparable to back then.
Such organizations free up people like Jennifer Doudna to spend time in their labs (i.e., their area of expertise) rather than spending time sitting in meetings with lawyers and similar krill from companies that want to license the technology.

Giant Drones Could Seriously Disrupt the Shipping Industry
For testing/dev at work, I wrote a little go app that listens to SMTP on port 2525, collects mail into a boltdb, and presents it in a very simple web UI (port 7070) that lets you browse users and their mail. (A simple drill-down of list of users / emails for user / message details, including all mime parts and download links for attachments. The top page has a "clear" button.)

It was an evening's work, so it's very simple, but it works and we've found it very useful. (The original idea was to very simply expose the application flows involving mail to selenium, but I've found it very useful for dev, too.)
I think the building might not be ready for occupancy. Maybe there is some holdup from a municipality, investor, contractor, fire inspection that is the cause of the real holdup. They really should just return your money but please remember, the person you dealt with also must deal with a large bureaucracy. Maybe the company she works for thinks everything is OK and they just had a series of bad tenants. When dealing with the company you need to remember that person has no incentive in telling you no. At the end of the day they just want a paycheck and will do whatever their bosses tell them to do, right or wrong.

I believe CoreLogic was spun off from First American.

You may want to see if you are eligible to file a claim with your renter's insurance policy.

As for CoreLogic, you will want to use all the debtor's rights laws at your disposal. All those credit reporting laws apply to them, maybe small claims court would be a good avenue. Small claims courts will usually squash any unruly practices of a landlord.

The large rental management companies can be difficult to worth with as a tenant. At the same time its easier for tenants because they have more tools at their disposal especially in collecting minimal amounts of security deposits and timely repairs. They can be difficult when trying to break a lease, return deposits, or charging misc/extra fees. Sometimes there is no way around it. You need to go into the situation understanding you will lose money.

A good rule of thumb is more amenities => more fees => more problems!
One of the wierd things about a network is that, no matter how much you scale it, there are always only ten "top ten" slots on it.

Host a high-traffic site on Google's infrastructure. Since you can see the version number of the platform, it's obvious when they're rolling out changes. This has cause many partial outages until the change was (I assume) automatically rolled back.

It's a little hard to take this advice from Google after being the victim of so many bad rollouts. Because we use a lot of services, we are far more likely to have problems. We seem to always be the canary.

That's not fun.

Interesting idea. Clever use of a classic algorithm in a novel way.
Just to clarify, drugs are not legal in Portugal. There is decriminalization on small amounts, but not full legalization. However, Portugal's experiment is a resounding success and I'd expect even greater benefits from legalization (e.g. tax money derived from the industry around recreational drugs).

The whole situation sucks. The last thing anyone wants to do is consistently use an attorney to handle matters like these. Each and every day it seems like a necessity. I guess when leasing a place, add up all the months. It might be a good rule of thumb to always consult an attorney for any contracts with goods or services worth more $2000.00.

What sucks is finding an attorney that can advise you on such matters, deal with them, and litigate them for your refund + attorney costs.

Playing against a bot programmed to fight intelligently and efficiently just wouldn't be fun for long. A friend and I tried playing against the Reaper bot in Quake years ago. It mopped the floor with us. Which in terms of my skill probably doesn't mean much but my friend was really good at Quake. The bot didn't let up, didn't pause, memorized weapon locations, move at a constant run, and never missed. It would even jump, 180, and beam you with a rocket. That made for fun novelty one evening but no one wants that for multiple levels.
Why do we want source order independence?

I'm seeing a worrying trend in front-end dev towards things that are "nicer" to "read" but more difficult to actually reason about. I don't understand what benefit we're gaining for removing the relationship between the order of the source code and the order things are rendered. All I see is a negative (it's more difficult to find the place to make an edit later on).

As the other guy said: "Meanwhile I see that native app development continues, as it has for like 30 years now, to shamelessly put UI components directly into hierarchies based on physical layout. And they still haven't tripped over the paradigm."

"A teenager doesn't just "want a car." He wants that freedom that car gives him."

Precisely, and this is why owning the car isn't that important. This teenager presumably still has to pay for the car and fuel, or bug his parents for it. Paying for the (cheaper) self driving ride is no different.
I actually have no problem with this, I have a bigger problem with the misnaming of people's roles - I.e. It's BS to call a stock broker without a fiduciary duty a "financial advisor" but if they're called a Sales Rep I have no problem if they're not looking out for you
There's a difference between a bot that's been programmed to act intelligently and a bot with superhuman abilities and reflexes. You can have the first part without the second.
What I loved about STALKER is that it felt like a living world. I remember watching a group of fellow stalkers being beset by bandits. During the whole firefight I was just watching it from a safe position. The fight ended and the stalkers continued to walk in the same direction they were following before. I did nothing but observe the action which was unscripted.

I really got the impression that a million little actions were happening around me even if I was not there to observe them.

Don't know how many gamedevs are here but I've always wondered if within gamedev, there's differences in how much info/best practices are propagated within the field. Graphics seems to be something that devs keep tabs on with each other. But maybe AI is more siloed off? I'm not sure what 10 years in improvement in AI looks like (as I do with graphics), but the algorithms and details [0] seem straightforward, or at least not impossible for a talented team with resources to build upon. I haven't played F.E.A.R. so maybe there's something about the game that vastly simplifies the factors?

> I guess this means we can officially stop hating on Microsoft for having such a lax attitude towards security, considering their last OS to suffer from that attitude was released 16 years ago

What? That is complete nonsense. Yes Windows security has improved over time but it's still pretty abysmal compared to macOS, iOS, Android and any mainstream Linux distro. Windows still defaults to your main user being an administrator with administrator privileges at all times.

Not to mention the fact that Windows now comes baked in with malware and not only defaults you into turning it on without giving you the option to turn it all off easily during setup, but the major patches that have come out since will re-enable a lot of Microsoft's tracking code and make you jump through hoops to disable it.
Give it a rest. There is no possible way he can solve it right now, we don't have self driving cars yet.

>I do agree with the author about the lack of progress in FPS enemy AI.

I believe online-play preempted advancements in game AI.

People will play competitively online if they want a challenge. Single player mode in FPS games these days seem less geared towards being a challenge and more geared towards being cinematic.
Your secrets need to be small, easily changed things (keys, passwords). Not large, difficult to change things like protocols.

That's the point behind rejecting 'security by obscurity', so I can't see any dichotomy between the two.

When the "windows" key (for me the "command" key -- I use a Mac BT keyboard), the visible windows are shrunk (but readable) and the I start to type. I can still read the window contents (1920x1080 11" display, 10 point touch). The desktop is not blanked out. On that selection screen, I have fast-start icons, and the desktop selector. Yes, it is "different" but I find it more usable than either Windows or Mac.

Of course, that may be due to familiarity. My primary platform is a mobile device, but I also use Gnome 3 (Fedora) on desktops. We use Mate on RHEL 7 on our larger display configurations (4x4K monitor in a 2x2 grid and 3x4K in horizontal configurations). But, on those configurations, we lock down and don't offer start menus to the end-user at all (kiosk style application).

I do like Gnome 3 for general use, though.
I'm not sure about Singapore, but Doha and Dubai are the both capital cities of a monarchy: Qatar and UAE, respectively. Keep that in mind if you ever visit.

I lived in the UAE for ~14 years, so I can give you some idea of how safe Dubai is.

- You can leave your car in a parking lot for hours, unlocked, with expensive devices clearly visible. Nobody would even come close to it.

- There is no need to lock your house when you leave. People usually do though, because it just make sense to do so.

- You can walk virtually anywhere in Dubai at any time of night, completely alone. Nobody will bother you.

- The UAE has some of the friendliest police I've ever seen. Oh, and they are extremely professional and responsive, and are insanely good at what they do [1].

In my 14 years living there, I have never once been robbed, have never even witnessed a crime or robbery, nor have I ever heard of someone (e.g., friends) falling victim to one. The only incident was a break-in at the home of a family we knew. That's it.

And I hear that Doha is even safer than Dubai!

I'm less enthused about 'rollbacks' being considered 'normal'. They signify something didn't go quite right with your unit/integration/qa process. IMO there should be at least a 'mini-postmortem' to understand why it was missed even if it's in an intentional blind spot. (i.e you made an explicit decision it wasn't worth the engineering resources to get the testing fidelity needed to catch the issue earlier). It's almost always better to catch issues earlier, even if you have super neat tooling that makes it easy to rollback.
I think there is a difference between Google branded Android and AOSP (Android Open Source). Anybody (users or carriers or phone manufacturers) can build and install AOSP, and Google can't provide updates or force them to install Google play store. Also, AOSP being open source is easier to tinker with (install apps from unverified sources etc.).

When media reports security bugs for Android, it is hardly clear whether the bugs affect AOSP or the Google branded Android, and to what extend.
Driverless cars can take you between train stations and destinations. No magical form of train will come to your house or go to your office.

If it was an automated rollback, a system that automatically generated either test data or other heatmap of the system when the rollback was called would be awesome.

It is amusing, because we are basically saying it would be awesome to have a coredump when the crash happens. Which... used to be standard behavior but was essentially lost in most modern development environments. (Not to mention the tooling lagged in two directions. One to help you with the coredumps, and the other to make usable core dumps.)
