Even prior to 9/11[1], you didn't have any rights at the border. As stated in other comments, most of the bill of rights doesn't apply at national borders, even for US citizens.

But I totally agree with you. We had eight years of domestic spying, increased TSA nonsense (I no longer fly within the US. I wish more Americas would refuse to fly), predator drones, secret kill lists and the first president in history to spend every day of this tenure at war. I wish everyone who is out protesting now was protesting just as loud during the Obama years instead of falling into the false left/right divide: http://fightthefuture.org/articles/the-fallout-of-american-a...

Nice output. I used to do a lot of interviews, and this is the sort of PDF I want to view, although a bit too crowded, but nonetheless I am okay with a one-page, or a two-page resume with just enough description.

Please never send in a 10-page resume detailing every single technology you have worked with / used at work. You don't show up at someone's doorstep to sell your product by introducing your whole life, do you? Resume is like a simplified pitch deck, make me interested in learning more about your application in 2 minutes. Also, please check your spellings and use consistent formatting.

If you have worked on some side projects, definitely mentions the one you really like or the ones relevant to your job. If you wrote a robot running around the office on April Fool's Day, write that down, I'd be curious. I usually look at people's GitHub profile if a link is mentioned.

My opinion is mine, though. Some HR / recruiter might not like my preference, but I would rather not work for that kind of firm.
It seems like the because of the broker aspect the law might apply to them, however I'm not a lawyer. It's certainly I would think, a bad idea to say I'm not renting to this person because of their race. You're basically inviting a racial discrimination lawsuit.

"The Fair Housing Act covers most housing. In some circumstances, the Act exempts owner-occupied buildings with no more than four units, single-family housing sold or rented without the use of a broker, and housing operated by organizations and private clubs that limit occupancy to members."
You may be conflating what's going on here with a direct public offering [1]. Google, for example, did not use an underwriter in its DPO-style offering [2]. (Partly as a result, they massively underpriced.)

Spotify isn't doing a DPO nor an IPO. They will simply allow their shares to be traded by third parties. Since Spotify, itself, is raising no cash there isn't a need for an underwriter nor an auction process. Each investor will need to figure out listing, trading, clearing and settlement, et cetera mostly on their own.

For those thinking Enterprise and/or Education may be better, it's only better if you're using it in an environment where privacy settings are enforced via Group Policy or some other method. Standalone (like I'm running it) is really not much better than Pro unless you go through and manually intervene.

For example, the default telemetry level is "Enhanced":

"The Enhanced level gathers data about how Windows and apps are used and how they perform. This level also includes data from both the Basic and Security levels. This level helps to improve the user experience with the operating system and apps. Data from this level can be abstracted into patterns and trends that can help Microsoft determine future improvements.

This is the default level for Windows 10 Enterprise and Windows 10 Education editions, and the minimum level needed to quickly identify and address Windows, Windows Server, and System Center quality issues." [1]

On a fresh install of Windows 10 Enterprise I still have to manually disable updates by disabling/setting permissions on scheduled tasks for updates and I'm still prompted for things like "Use OneDrive!". Cortana is also enabled by default.

This doesn't have much to do with my point - The final ban was based on LJ.

This doesn't have to be true. What should and can happen is that more people take the high road, especially technical people, and work to lower the barrier of entry and make it more practical to join them on the high road.

There is a movement to change consent forms (which patients sign as they enter a medical system) to permit larger sharing of medical data outside of its direct use. IE, you are offered an opt-in to permit your data to be analyzed beyond an individual visit, possibly for medical issues completely unrelated to any immediate medical problem. The consent forms are transparent, and opt-in- the health consumer is informed what their data will be used for, and they explicitly have to say it's OK (blanket consent, can be revoked).

I think this is a win, because the consumer has the choice, and if enough people do it ,the resulting aggregated datasets will have exceptional power to help solve global medical problems.

For computers I create an unprivileged "apple" account when it goes in to service. For iOS devices I just wipe them before service, but if you are sending to a third party repair house you might make a new throw away account, otherwise your device is in a stealable state.

I suppose if your device is beyond being able to operate then you are going to need to change your password or passcode when you get it back.

According to the Cato Institute [1], the probability of being involved in a terrorist attack by a foreign-born terrorist from 1975 to 2015 was 0.00003%, or 1/3,609,709. The probability of you being struck by lightning this year is 1/960,000.

Terrorism ISN'T a serious problem, compared to homelessness, obesity and other health issues, lack of access to healthcare (see: obesity and other health issues), minority rights (especially for Muslims and Mexican immigrants), labor rights, poor public transportation, etc. It just isn't. God, if people cared 1/10th as much about some of these issues as they did about "being hard on terrorism", imagine how much we could get done. Instead we're groping ten-year-old boys at airports in the name of "safety".

Edit: add source.

Huh? He's a 70 year old man retiring after 47 years of work. What does that have to do with how Apple has evolved over the years?

Sharding your product so that no cross-shard links are possible is robust and scalable, but it requires you to understand your final product very well at design time. If you start down that path and then bolt on some cross-shard data, the end result is almost always worse then if you had planned for that from the start.

Im the GP.

I just always had a company handbook (sometimes just a piece of paper) with policies and benefits. Not some sort of binding contract.

These policies can and are changed at any time zero notice. I've been at my current job for close to a decade and my benefits are changed at least yearly if not multiple times a year. Health insurance changes every single year (provider, available policies, premiums). Paid time off policies change every few years (amount, policies for selling back time off, when accrued) and our 401(k) match has changed a few times (percentage match and when match would be given). None of this is a contract. It's basically like HN changing their posting policies.

Presumably if you don't like it you just leave ("at will")

It seems odd in the US that they'd put this stuff in a binding contract as it's not standard practice (that I've seen) and getting everyone to sign new contracts every policy change seems like a lot of unnecessary paperwork.

(Union jobs are certainly different but almost nobody (<10%) in the US is in a union)
> Making Sonnet public allows other models created within DeepMind to be easily shared with the community

I'm looking forward to this - DeepMind has a frustrating track record of not open sourcing their code. While it's their prerogative and I know of many valid reasons for doing so, the many other researchers who publish their (sometimes terribly hacked together) models have been incredibly helpful in verifying that their work, well, works.

You mean a proof-of-existence challenge?

You create a salt, send it to server.

The server adds the salt to the file, hashes it, then sends the hash back. You check this against the cached data.

When the hash doesn't match, you know either the cached version, or the server version, is wrong.

Why is this more worrying? Seems less worrying to me if by harassment/attack you mean purely verbal online gabber.

I would love something like this for personal use, so I can share my bank account with my family and control their spending and behavior.

I mean, assuming you can give out cards linked to said account, to discern who is using the account. That'd be incredibly useful. I used Google Wallet for this previously, and now use Simple, but it'd be nice to not have to approve requests and instead implement some logic to do so.

If anyone working for Simple sees this: get on this! I'd move from my main bank account to entirely Simple just for this functionality.
Comcast is late to the party as a "mobile content provider".

To "compete" in the US now, these companies must provide both content and mobile connectivity.

The basic point I'm trying to make is that it really depends on intent and that intent can be difficult to accurately determine.

I agree that a zero-tolerance total ban is not right and not justified. Because intelligent respectful conversation is the only way to "unpack" that "cultural baggage".

The problem is, when that conversation isn't clearly respectful and intelligent it just isn't helping and only adds noise. It is to our benefit overall to filter out that noise.
Given the history of trolls defacing such mutable works of art, and their success at doing so (and how people get quite bored/frustrated at fixing it), I find this explanation a bit lacking. I'm sure there were many people interested in helping, but to counter vandalism on such a grand scale, for such a long period of time? Human nature doesn't seem to back that up.

I may very well be wrong: people can and do get together and help with grand pieces of art; but Occam's razor points me towards a smaller number of people running bots.
the result itself was already extensively covered.
this isn't poor journalism, it's just not the story that you are looking for.
Hu, you seriously believe Windows is developed like this, with an army of entry level programmers writing code from an ultra-detailed spec for a product they don't know? (and then what, they use Linux and Mac at home, probably?)

> Unfortunately the tools available to terrorists continue to change and so must the measures used to fight them.

From what I know, the current problem is not the lack of information, but how well it is targeted. For example, we knew about the terrorists in France in 2016: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/March_2017_%C3%8Ele-de-France_...

Also, many think that the war on terror made more harm to the humanity then what we would have otherwise. At least such invasive war.

This is really an overreaction I believe. I know many many Muslims who regularly go from UK to the US without any hassles at all. Of course as a non-Muslim I'm always terrified by these stories but the odds are very very low - you'd probably have a greater likelihood of being hassled coming into the UK from a non_EU country honestly.
> I read comments about how things are bad at the Canadian or UK border too.

I've flown through Germany, Moldova, the UK, Ireland, Singapore, Australia, etc. etc.

America is the worst. Most other countries will not preform pat downs. The German head of transport security even mentioned the body scanners have over a 50% false positive rate (they're literally about the same as random chance; multi million dollar worthless pieces of security theatre shit that should be removed).

The only pat down I recall was Moldova, and even there it was just your legs. I won't fly in the US any more. If I need to leave the country, I'd rather just take a bus to Canada. At least if they violate my rights there, I'm not a citizen and it doesn't bother me.
Wouldn't you expect communist nations would be the most creative using this logic? There really isn't a good way to measure creativity but I'm curious if that is true.
The idea of universal basic income is to end the practice of means-testing; that is, design a social safety net that requires -less- government intervention into your life. You receive a basic income for life, and what you do with it is your freedom to choose.

Yes, it may require higher taxes or new taxes like a carbon tax or land value tax. But is higher taxes == more government intervention?

But it's not like only the "creators" could run bots, the "vandals" could as well. so even if you really truly believe it was mostly run by bots, you are still back to square 1 in that you'd need many people working together for a single purpose to get anything other than noise.

But you also need to remember that for the most part the vandals were unorganised. If you got a small group to choose a small spot on the massive canvas, they could get something together in 15 minutes or so, whereas it would take vandals much longer (unless they could somehow organise to completely wipe out one small part).

Even bots were still subject to the same rules.

It's a consequence of the old security thinking where programs were installed by a "trusted administrator". Everything run by a user is assumed to be sound. The only way to prevent this is either aggressive limiting of features and sandboxing, like in the web browser.

You gave them permission to do all those things when you didn't cleanse your machine with fire after that automatic win 10 upgrade, even though you didn't have the legal authority to do so.

There is definitely some overlap with SkySails (as that project was called), particularly in the control software part.

But as far as kite power goes the principles are quite different. They use the pull (or "lift") of the kite to directly help propel the ship, while we have generators installed on the kite and harvest energy that way. This is called "drag mode" kite energy, vs "lift mode" where you let the kite pull on the tether and let it reel out and thereby generate power (or pull a ship).

We haven't looked into it but I have a feeling it would be more efficient to use drag mode even on a ship and generate electricity that would be fed into a hybrid engine system.

The scenario you mention is not really a major concern, for several reasons:

First of all the tether is of course designed to withstand all reasonable situations, with a wide margin of safety.

Secondly, the way the kite normally lands and launches itself as the wind drops and returns is by flying as a drone using the rotors-generators (see the website), so as long as the kite isn't completely broken it would just return to earth in a controlled manner.

Furthermore, in a worst case scenario, an untethered kite is actually much _less_ dangerous as it can't travel faster than the wind, whereas while tethered it can go 10 times faster or more. (As a kite surfer the first thing you learn is that if something goes wrong you should release the kite.)

While in use the kite will be some 200 m up, but several kilometres from land, so it will not be able to get very far in the time it takes to fall to earth.
