A verbal request from your TV is pretty much equivalent to typing in an URL "by hand", and AFAIK people got sacked under CFAA for the latter, because of "unauthorized" access to data.

This is the correct answer. My advice for amazon SDEs is: either your manager puts operational excellence as their top priority or you need to find a new manager.
I think alternative delivery mechanisms to injection are a feature. Ask any diabetic if they would like less needles in their bodies. There is work and patents on adjustable dose inhaler systems, but its never going to be a basal insulin that is being delivered. It's prandial.

The lung cancer concerns come from the only previous inhaled insulin Exhubra, which was literally vaporized insulin solution and offered no pharmacological benefit over injected insulin. The two instances of lung cancer in the 12(?) years of Afrezza testing occurred with patients who were smokers.

I'm not saying that Afrezza is the greatest invention ever, but it is a substantial step up from other mealtime insulins in my opinion.
Hey James, I did come across some of your bug submissions, and our joint discussions on the headless-dev Google Group.
Correct. Example: this user logged into my service. Let's try to log into gmail with the same password. It worked. I'm authenticated, but not authorized.
Nice! Do you guys have any plans to support macOS in the future?
> What are the odds of becoming a billionaire? And how does someone tilt those odds in their favor?

Becoming a billionaire will rarely be the result of one lucky decision, but rather the result of thousands of individual decision where a larger than average number of them turn out to be "lucky".

I would think that the way to tilt the odds in your favor would be to study and listen to those who have successfully done this, and see if you can get some hints to how they made all these decisions.
Sure, the DoE produces and "owns" the nukes, "loaning" them to the DoD for the deterrence mission.

Hi, as someone who worked on this, let me say, that's not the point.

Consumers are in fact treated like shit, either knowingly/actively or not, and that is an abuse of power and trust. Power and trust that should be dissolved and then earned back.

This chrome extension, created in a couple of hours, illustrates a simple fact: be evil, be ignored. That's it. The power is in the hands of the consumer. We all have the right to voice our opinion with how we spend our dollars.

Too bad if your company gets caught up in someone's else's bullshit. Be evil. Be associated with evil. Ignore evil. Be ignored yourself. The internet is not a free advertising platform. The rules of infinite reach apply to big money and just someone willing to slap a few lines of code together.
Freedome logs your IP address, which kinda kills it from a privacy perspective. It also seems to make unreasonable claims about its effectiveness and incentivises people to spam social media.

I tried spinning up a VM on google gcp this weekend since my laptop was low on memory, and easily scaled it to 24gb with a literal click of a button. At a few bucks per hour, it doesn't really seem that far out of reach for most people these days?
Bankruptcy is actually the way to reduce debt without destroying the matching money (but may have knock on effects on further lending and related money creation).

Inflation is less clear cut and comes in many forms, assets, import costs, wages, consumer goods.
It's natural to feel bad, but it's also correct that you should take this opportunity to learn from someone great.

The thing is, these "CTO", "CEO", etc. is nothing more than a title, it's just for vanity. You probably think everything will be different once you become the "CTO", but you'll realize that nothing changes even if you do become one.

What's really important is improving yourself. You also said you think you're not experienced enough to be a CTO compared to the other guy. Then get more experience! Simple as that.

Don't make this about your ego, because there's nothing to gain from that. Learn, learn, learn.

but again, this is not something that allowing double calls within a minute on minute boundaries actually makes any difference on. Someone would have to be abusing it more then just a little bit for you to know to take action in either setup by the same degree. IE you can't investigate every single time one customer goes over limits by mistake if you have any sizable number of customers.
Yeah, and the top level domain redirects to google.com the DNS registrar is the same one the Google uses, and WHOIS says the owner is Google.

I guess it's just a quiet launch of a Google service, probably beta-ing it with the YC crowd.
I would advise you to consider do you really have the skills to be a CTO? Have you ever managed a team, had fudiciary responsibilities, engaged professionally in internal and external sales to other executives, lead large technically complex change initiatives? To be fair I wouldn't even consider the following a comprehensive list. If you don't have those experiences now I would advise against trying to learn them at a startup as the support structure rarely is in place and any misstep magnified.

That being the case it doesn't sound like the current CEO is trustworthy or honest with you. If the person they are looking to bring in doesn't have of the aforementioned skills or experience then you should run away now!
Nice comparison. I'm also familiar with "70% solution". One thing to add: officers, and hopefully business leaders, are taught how to build a theoretical list of what approximately 100% of the information, questions and answers might be...That way you know what 70% is in reference to. This is taught and one can easily memorize the checklists of decision making questions (it's a mnemonic device).

To see why this matters imagine: Are we looking for 70% out of 5 questions? or 70% of 10 questions we have? If you think you only need to answer 5 questions before making a decision and answer 4. That's 80% and you would go...But if there are 10 questions to ideally check off before deciding and you only answer 4, that's way too low and dangerous. This is dangerous in the military and in startup land. Knowing the full list of questions to ask is more important than knowing the answers.

Lastly, both Amazon and the military have huge structures, plans and support teams in place to encourage 70% as an OK threshold. Imagine if you have air support you can call in the marines should things go wrong, or you have your parents couch to crash on if your startup fails, those things would help a person be comfortable going on only 70% of the information.
>If your friend bought it, maybe they don't consider is a "poorly-designed voice assistant"? Maybe they think you're just trying to misuse their device, and being a bit silly?

I'd like to think people are the best judges of how their own friends will react, but maybe that's naïve.

>It's the equivalent of going to somebody's unlocked laptop and typing in "XXX bum photos" or "how to kill the president. Or yelling "Fire! Fire!" to scare somebody.

Those examples aren't even comparable to each other, let alone to a bunch of orders made via voice assistant that probably end up instantly canceled.

>Yes, it's probably quite funny when you're young ...

You may have overdone the condescension there just a little bit.
> If enough people tweeted about it, Trump might even be stupid enough to "react"

This reminds me of many years as a designer where many people new to design hear the platitude "don't make people think" and assume this is because people don't immediately think so you have to assume they are entirely dumb. But in reality people simply put a very low local amount of energy into day-to-day media/internet consumption. You have to assume they are disinterested, not entirely without common sense.

Interfaces don't have to be idiot-proof, they have to be easy to use (a big difference in practice). Compare the effort required to Tweet something vs a response to a serious incident.

Assuming anyone would buy this for longer than a few minutes is ridiculous, they are merely asking anyone around them or a simple google search away from the answer. To say the President would buy it puts you in a lower intelligence category than the falsely assumed average person is in...

A fake Russia attacking US ships (and escalation by European countries in NATO) BBC news story vs Trump campaign being spied on at the direction of people in the Obama administration is hardly comparable.

At most the serious problem is Trump has his own Android phone allowing him to make emotional tweets on demand without editorialization ala news papers or forcing him to take a timeout to fully consider the consequences. The difference between that and taking serious military action is significant, but sadly this distinction has to be made given the hyperbole spreading about the Trump administration...

1000 applications and 20 interviews in around ~3 years?

I don't have stats to back up my opinion but that to me is crazy crazy low (unless you were applying for completely unsuitable jobs).

- Do you alter your resume per applications?

- Is there a common theme amongst positions you're applying for? (i.e. 'junior' or 'senior' etc) or are you applying for just every dev role you see?

- Do you do any networking (i.e. meetups?)

- Would you be willing to share your resume? (perhaps remove identifiable things if you are concerned).

- Can you share some links to recent job postings you've applied for?

Encryption is indifferent to the contents that is being encrypted.

Without encryption there is no way to know if the domain you are visiting is malicious or if you are the victim of a MITM attack. So if I'm being phished I would much rather that connection be encrypted so I can know for certain who is attacking me.
The Chicago PD wasn't involved with this at all.

It was "aviation police". No connection.
If the info was accurate in your other answers then I believe you're focusing on the wrong questions to ask.
Diets have been (anecdotally at least) shown to be effective in the treatment of autoimmune diseases like Type 1 diabetes, multiple sclerosis, Chron's disease, and many others. A popular book on the subject is The Wahl's Protocol: https://www.amazon.com/Wahls-Protocol-Autoimmune-Conditions-...

Now, that's mostly anecdotal. There are very few studies on diet in general. As far as type 2 diabetes is concerned, though, low-carb diets have empirically been shown to reduce the need for insulin injections, slow progression of disease, and prevent the disease in the first place.
It isn't clear just what Bezos did before Amazon, but he engaged in a number of different occupations.

Mark Cuban had many attempts at business, including being a disco dance instructor (!).
I don't think so. Certificates certificate the domain, not the identity (except for the EV certificates)

The issue here is just the browser identifying the sites as "secure". Technically correct but not in the general sense of "safe that my data won't be misused/mishandled," which can't entirely be verified.
Easy, not so much, depending on exactly what you want to get out of it. I did a project with this once https://www.idrsolutions.com/jpdf2html5/. Last I checked, they only supported it as a Java library that could generate rather nice looking and complete HTML pages from PDF documents. The output was great, but it was kinda pricey and difficult to work with.

On the opposite side of the complexity level, I have also used this http://www.pdfsharp.com/PDFsharp/ to extract bits of text from PDFs. It's free, but you only get access to the raw PDF text with formatting codes. It works fine if you just want to grab a short string, but you got your work cut out for you if you want to do anything more sophisticated.
It wasn't the Chicago PD in this case.
Great website! Thanks.
One would hope this would also lead to better data on things like diabetes. From what I have read, we really don't understand it as well as a lot of people seem to think. It would be nice to have more comprehensive data sets so we can figure out better treatment modalities.

But you can't just study what the successful people have done, you have to study what actually makes them different from everyone else. Think of it as a Type I error:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_I_and_type_II_errors

Let's say you interview 10 billionaires and 9 say they did X. Does X increase the likelihood of being a billionaire? You don't know until you look at the entire population of people TRYING to be billionaires. If X occurs in 90% of the billionaire population but 99% of the non-billionaire strivers population, then what you conclude is that in fact NOT doing X makes you more likely to succeed.* You can't study what makes you successful without including people who aren't successful.

* Yes I know that the difference between 90% and 99% is hard if not impossible to measure in a sample of 10.

Gotcha. It's probably still quadratic, just judging from the values. You can't need 32 minutes for 10^6 100-byte comparisons (which typically abort after the first character compares unequal. Not that that matters).
So, I have this problem where windows is completely unworkable, but once in a blue moon (say 4 hours once a year), I need desktop office.

Can I delete my vm between uses, and quickly spin up an office license for those 4 hours? I can pay significantly more than $0.28 / year if the process is slicker than dealing with a windows vm that gets booted once every 12 months (and then spends hours patching itself before it is usable).
Or more probable you userbase was full of C developers, that can't imagine to be possible to code outside the C-mindset.

Take in account how many can't even consider the possibility that a full OS can (and have be made before) safer, have GC, is NOT C, is NOT EVEN ALIKE C, etc.

C, C++, Unix are the biggest roadblock in the progres of computing. Or more exactly, the users, that prefer patch-along and commit million of dollars in wasted effort than in build (or rediscover) better ways.

This is alike climate change resistance. Why go solar, if carbon is better and well understood? Instead, push ahead and waste money fixing symptoms instead of causes.

And "causes" is a word that here mean, C, C++, Unix, etc...
for a great firewall you have two choices

1) block SSL/TSL traffic and VPNs at the border

2) Man in the middle attack (this would needs browsers to accept certificates with a matching wildcard domain )

(1) would block internet commerce at the border - this is not acceptable in western countries were free trade is above everything else. (2) is a problem because the wildcard certificates will leak out and criminals will use them, this will eliminate trust and kill internet commerce internally (also it is quite resource intensive)

In any event a great firewall is a great tragedy: for Russia that would mean the end of any remaining freedom of speech and an end to the independent opposition - for example Navalny will no longer be able to mobilize anyone. Its a fact how freedom of communication directly translates into political liberties; block one of them and you loose the other... (it is also a Pyrrhic victory for the Russian state because limiting information results leads to ptechnological backwardness)

So for the meantime that means that a great firewall in a western country is very unlikely. Of course internet pundits said that of Russia at the turn of this century.... so the fact remains that it is impossible to predict anything.

TIL: the great firewall of china is called golden shield ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Shield_Project ) in Russia they might as well call it "stalin's pipe"

No, most musicians wander the desert and never end up leaving the desert.
In paleolithic times, the average human diet included a lot of fatty meats. When the fatty game went extinct, and protein-heavy diets failed (protein isn't a fuel source except through gluconeogenesis,) carbohydrate-heavy diets became more common. It's not clear that a carbohydrate-heavy diet is the ideal human diet, just one we're compatible with. The human body can make almost anything work, for a time.

At the same time, tribes in Papua New Guinea who eat almost exclusively carbohydrates have been shown to be virtually free of heart disease.

It's not the worldview or the underlying philosophy that's important, but the techniques themselves.

And when it comes to the techniques, the western esoteric tradition is without equal. Moreover, in many cases, the techniques have been obscured behind layers and layers of metaphysics (occult knowledge) and a superficial examination of the material will quickly lead one to reject it. Which is why traditionally, such knowledge was passed down in chains of transmission through teacher-student relationships.

These days, most of that knowledge is no longer occult ("hidden") but it's been obscured by vast amounts of garbage, a lot of it falling under the so called new age/wicca/esoteric psychology categories.
>Find journalism with taxes? Then wouldn't it follow that those journalists would have a disincentive to serve as a check to their masters that pay them?

Two important points raised by a lawyer about how to interpret the Contract of Carriage (or any other).

(1) When the meaning of a term (e.g. "boarding") is ambiguous or undefined, courts are required to interpret it in the way less favorable to the drafter of the contract.

(2) If the conditions under which one party may do something are enumerated, they may not do it for reasons other than those on the list.

Both principles of legal interpretation go against United in this case. Remember, this is civil law - not criminal. The burden of proof is very different. While many such contracts are too one-sided, rules such as these exist to ensure that they can't be entirely so. A completely one-sided contract might even violate the requirement that it involve mutual consideration, making it a legal non-entity.
That's valid, if the distribution of work is not fair, this won't work.

In practice, when you are receiving enough traffic to make throttling practical you aren't usually throttling at 2 RPM across 2 servers.
JavaScriptCore (WebKit's JS engine) also optimized for Octane. But we additionally optimized for Speedometer, Sunspider (the not totally broken subset that made it into Jetstream) and JSBench. While Octane isn't the single answer to all JS performance measurement, using it in combination with better things seems better than not using it. To go back to your example, iOS both has way better real-world perf and way better Octane results than Android devices.

BTW benchmarks I'd endorse include MotionMark, Speedometer and Jetstream from http://browserbench.org/ as well as JSBench http://plg.uwaterloo.ca/~dynjs/jsbench/

These are all good at testing different aspects of browser performance including relevant testing of the JS engine.

(a) This kind of thing in many cases is just tedious busywork that you are now making someone do every time they call the routine. What if they have a MyPoint and your procedure takes a YourPoint? And what if your point is 8-dimensional, anyway, what does that constructor look like?

(b) This has performance implications, not least because of the ABI. And depending on what language you are using, they can be quite severe (good luck if you are using one of those languages that always puts classes on the heap).
I hate it when libraries try this sort of thing. I've already used all of the cores higher up in the program logic where it's far more effective, but doing that all the library is going to achieve is a net slow down of all throughput.

Don't blindly throw work at multiple cores low down in algorithms. Amdahl's law tells you that the pay off is likely low, and if the program already makes proper use of the cores you're just going to slow things down.
