Living in Spain I notice a lot of young folk are adopting British/American ways of doing things. Walking everywhere with a screen in front of their face and running up escalators when there is absolutely no reason to do so are two of the most annoying.
Partly as a result, they massively underpriced

Snapchat had underwriters and popped 50% on opening. Isn't that also massively underpriced? Life insurance and health insurance companies don't make the obscene margins and figures that investment banks do. Investment banks basically rob you silly when they underwrite. It's not insurance. It's clear that you will be underpricing if you want your IPO to be underwritten.

But a piece of art created by a few dozen people with machines, when compared to the expectation that a piece of art was created by a couple hundred thousand people by hand; well, it just doesn't have the same impact.

Software defense techniques are getting more sophisticated and capable but software is getting far more complex compromising many of these defensive techniques. For instance JITs provide vital performance increases but require memory pages which are marked as execute and write which degrades the effectiveness of many memory corruption protections.

What we have achieved is that if you are willing to keep things simple and give up much of the modern world (e.g. JITs) you can build far more secure software than what was possible in the past. What we have done is extend the realm of the possible in both the direction of security and vulnerability (e.g. before TrustZone it wasn't possible to leverage TrustZone to exploit a kernel).
In a way this is true. These days more and more sites are SSL thanks to Let's Encrypt.

That does sort of invalidate the "things are starting to get better" part of the title.

It must be difficult to get better because new software comes out all the time, and old software stays around. So the attack surface grows. IoT really pushes that model hard. I know the firmware in my TV hasn't changed since I bought it, but the newer model of the same TV has different firmware.
Your defamation of Bana, a girl who lived under siege, had her house bombed, narrowly escaped being killed and/or raped by Assad and/or Iran's death squads, and is probably still traumatized from the experience, is sheer depravity. Bana was photographed and interviewed inside and outside Aleppo.

That aside, Google translate can probably help you write "better twitter post" than many native English speakers. Bana's mother may also be helping her, but that doesn't make her fake.
Do you find this claim hard to believe?

What terrorist organization wanted to attack us in the eighties?

What organization wanted to attack us in the nineties, other than the failed WTC bombing?

If that had succeeded, history might be very different. Success breeds success and the second WTC attacks on 9/11 inspired other terrorists.
Easy: they don't benefit at all from it. I'm not a lawyer, but I can easily see how it's not a good idea to talk bad about someone who used your platform.

It's interesting that there's a common theme for multi-hour outages being gated by waiting for backups to restore -- the GitLab outage was similar in cause and had an even longer duration.

These 3000 deaths approximately zero relation to security measures.

The US government was informed about the 9/11 hijackers and the Boston city Marathon bombers etc. But, they get 99.99% false positives, so such information is basically worthless unless it results in conviction. Further the 9/11 hijackers used weapons no more deadly than what people are still allowed to bring on aircraft. If there where enough terrorists to matter they could have repeated 9/11 any time in the last 10 years. The most 'useful' security measure from 9/11 is a 'secure' door that locks which directly relates do another crashed aircraft making even that if anything a net loss. http://www.cnn.com/2015/03/26/europe/france-germanwings-plan...

That said, like the 'war on drugs' it has nothing to do with the actual 'threat' it's all just politics.
7 is quite supported. MS just arbitrarily decided a few weeks ago to don't allow Windows Update if you have a too modern processor, which makes absolutely no sense whatsoever from a technical POV (and which, I guess, will trigger development of tools to fake the ID of an other processor for that purpose, if that's possible), but if you have an "old enough" computer you can continue to use 7 until end of extended support, which is January 14, 2020.

I'm 36. I submitted my resignation a few weeks ago, to start a company. Yesterday my current employer and I officially came to terms on allowing me to switch to hourly to allow them more transitional time and for me to work on ramping up getting things going. I'm a bit torn on this. Part of me feels I should just cut the cord and be completely committed but at the same time I think the arrangement allows a win-win for all parties involved.

I hope to be an example that you are looking for.
There is a high degree of irony casting aspersions against a contract by calling it gibberish while citing specific clauses to back up the accusation (if it were truly gibberish, wouldn't the complaint be 'the contract could mean anything, it's unclear.' Not: 'these 3 clauses are problematic because of ...'.

The specific complaints were exceptions taken with very clear aspects of the contract, not vague terms difficult to decipher.

If common law still rules English law, vague terms would be interpreted against the drafter. I would guess that the contracts are crystal clear. Better critical terms could be:

* one-sided / imbalanced
* onerous
* too long, too specific, too technical

The complaints against the moveroo contract with regard to challenging your independent status are a different issue.

Recently I realised something that sounds like it should be obvious, but isn't: there's a fundamental difference between creativity, in the sense of true originality, and technical talent, in the sense of being good at some selection of the arts or sciences.

We tend to think of creativity as a generic ability to build or imagine new stuff - probably in the arts, sometimes in engineering or the sciences.

But in fact technical creativity is mostly about copying existing techniques and practices - i.e. competently repeating what other people have done, perhaps with some minor twists.

Free original thinking/expression is an unrelated talent, and much less common.

You can have either, or neither. Only very rarely do you get both.

I thought the post said it?

$12k is the cited number that you see a lot in basic income discussions. That's just over the poverty level. That's not enough to live on and it's practically a bonus for some members of this site. It's not enough to do anything with.

But just to do that in the US you are talking about 3 trillion dollars (300 million x $10k for easy math) that you have to find in the budget. Now basic income advocates will say you can make up some if not most of that by cutting welfare programs, but given the nature of welfare programs - good luck. That stipend is also not enough to pay for healthcare, so you can't cut that.

How exactly do you convince a nation which already isn't willing to pay for healthcare to pay for basic income, too?

I'd love to be wrong, but I've never seen any numbers that are workable, especially in a political climate anything like today.
Microsoft's new hardware: eight x86 cores, 40 GPU cores
I think FB focuses it's business around increasing time in app per user (or they at least track this). Many to-do list apps track tasks completed.

I would say for any completely free games that do well b/c they advertise, optimizing for time in app and # of clicks on ads is clearly very important metrics.

I built an app that helps you build habits by scheduling them into your daily morning/evening routines. Part of that routine building process is assigning time for each action (e.g. exercise for 30 minutes). So my KPI is minutes completed.

It's a productivity app so it seemed foolish to me to try to keep people in my app for longer. I even encourage users to complete their routines through actionable notifications (i.e. without opening the app).

Let's suppose for a moment that Assad's regime was responsible for the use of chemical weapons on civilians, and that he did not individually, specifically authorize this attack.

If he didn't authorize it directly, it doesn't matter - his regime is set up in such a way that actors under his authority used chemical weapons on civilians.

The justification of a response is not impacted by whether or not he was individually responsible.
> I think there is something to increasing voting preference based on tenure of shareholding. Giving more control to longer-term shareholders leads to long term thinking aim governance.

While I like any idea that would encourage longer-term thinking, wouldn't the founders be the longest-term shareholders with the most voting power, in this case? So, many of the problems of super-voting shares would still apply?

Creating software is about making the right decisions at the right point in time. Any decision by nature restricts choice. It is precisely the job of CTOs and architects to make decisions about partners, platforms, tooling and frameworks and to refrain from making these decisions at other times.

Should you empower teams to make their stack choices? I've seen chaos breaking out for a year in a major development organization with 500 devs when most teams suddenly were allowed to make some choices that better should have been made centrally. Yes, they were faster but they were faster going nowhere. And then there are all these aspects that go beyond the development phase - long term maintenance, behavior of software in the field / training field engineers and moving people across teams.

Good technical leaders know where choice is called for and where not. Managing these trade-offs requires a perspective that goes beyond the agile team.

90% of this thread seems to be taking about current nuclear tech, I.e. fission.

The article is about new companies which are trying to develop nuclear fusion tech. Doesn't that completely change the cost benefit analysis?
It's not as big of a problem as you're thinking. "Waste" can be used in breeder reactors to generate energy. This burns up >90% of the material. The remainder decays relatively quickly, not over geological time scales. Volume wise it's really not much. The entire nuclear industry so far has produced less than a 100kT of waste, a cube with a side length of about 30 meters. This is before putting the stuff in a breeder reactor.
Seems like an ethics test. Will you tell the truth about your previous low salary or lie to make sure you don't get lowballed?

Then for the employer, will you decrease the salary to match previous low rates or wages? Or will you pay him/her the market rate regardless?

Personally, I have always been asked how much I made at previous places. I prefer to give a range than specify individually.
Yep, take the true answer and inflate it 20% or more. Make them think they're getting a bargain.

Speck-Size Computers: Now with Deep Learning
When does this take effect?
It's sort of the "why it works on paper" for capitalism. Nominally, it plus low barriers to entry/conversion plus anti-anticompetitive mechanisms/trust-busting/etc lead to power structure wherein only businesses which keep their customers happy thrive.

In practice, network effects/'brand name' recognition/QA make for a generally reliable customer base from those who don't remain informed or care about your policies/practices or are just used to your product, and that's even before high barriers to entry and other market factors limiting competition to those who engage in the same cost-cutting-oriented models and so end up optimizing the same way.

TL;DR: Probably not.
The problem is, recruiters/hiring managers will sometimes call your former employer to verify your actual salary.

Nice work!!

Some thoughts:

- For my taste the sections/fields are not flexible enough. There are a few big ones missing, that I have on my résumé or have seen on others. E.g. Projects, Open Source, Involvement, Writing, Speaking Engagements, References... (there are a few more, for a complete list, have a look at the schema I'm using for ProgrammerCV at http://programmercv.com/resume-schema, which is open source btw)

- Getting the output as latex is a really nice idea. I'm working on a tool to extract résumé data from linkedin, xing etc. (http://programmercv.com/resume-exporter) and I want to offer export to multiple formats like .docs, .pdf, .html etc... and I'm already seeing that its quite difficult to offer flexibility and at the same time, garantuee some output quality. I guess latex could help... I will add it to my todo :)

- As someone else commented on, for my taste the template feels to cramped. stretching infos over 2-3 pages is preferable over to much on one page, imo. But luckily there are quite a few high quality latex résumé templates out there

A core principle of lossy audio codecs is leaving out information that would be masked by other information. But the masking will only happen if that other information is actually reproduced as expected. If, e.g. through a lousy frequency response curve, the masking information is not as loud relative to the masked information as it should be, the difference between would-be-masked present (lossless source) and would-be-masked absent (lossy encoding) will be much more noticeable. Same for the masked information: if played back through a system that distorts the masked part into something that would not be masked, the distorted version will be missing from what you hear in the lossy version but present in the lossless on. Again a noticeable difference (and just because the audible difference lies in a distorted part does not mean that not hearing it would be better, the lossless version would be more consistenct with itself).

Better headphones make the illusions of the psychoacoustic models work better, much like a stage magician will be more convincing with more precise execution of his tricks.

Or in other words: if you are good at identifying the differences between lossy and lossless that might be because you have golden ears. But it could just as well be because you are using tinny cans. (Or any combination thereof)
> addressing homelessness and drug overdose

That's been tried before with little success. Some people will choose to use drugs no matter what the government does. Some people will choose to be homeless. Some people are mentally ill and unable to take advantage of government programs. Some people just refuse help.

What program would you suggest, that isn't being done, that would reduce homelessness or drug overdose?
Do any employers actually provide that information? The most I've ever had any previous employer ever say about my time there is, "Eric worked here from $start_date to $end_date." I understand there to be liability involved if they say anything more.
Some ethics test. The employer is already failing at ethics by asking this in the first place, so I have no problem lying to them. This is no different than them asking if you have kids, if you're married, etc.

This can't be true 100% of the time or the hiring/working condition would be roughly the same regardless of legal environment. This, at least to me, does not seem to be the case.
