Of the two I'd get more involved in machine learning. For a couple of reasons:

1. Ultimately I think it'll be easier to get a remote job. ML is in high demand and requires dedicated, focused hacking time. This means remote is more do-able. Generalizing -- Cyber security interfaces significantly with people and process across the whole of an organization, so tends to require more face time.

2. It's easier to experiment and learn ML on your own. Grab a project, come up with some ideas and then get them up on Github. That's much hard to do in the security realm.

If I were you, I'd see if you can carve out some time for a passion project. Pick up a ML framework and see what you can do. Put it up on Github, write some blogs. You'll see how passionate about the space you are, plus build out the start of a CV.
"free from any intervention by a government, price-setting monopoly, or other authority"

But here's the thing... if there ends up being a monopoly, who exactly is going to intervene to stop it, if not the government or other authority?
It seems many acknowledge that the Google process (and other similar ones) is very flawed with a high false negative rate, but it's considered ok because there's a flood of talent always applying to Google.

Maybe this used to be true, but I don't think it's true anymore. It's very likely still true in the fresh graduate to early 20's age range of candidates. But at this point, senior engineers know what this process is about. And I think many are deciding to just avoid this process since it's very biased against senior engineers (who are rusty on DS and algorithms and don't have time to study it like a second job). So the flood of senior talent is probably less now than it used to be. But Google doesn't care. The main reason is, success hides all failures. They're still generating billions in revenue every quarter. Until those numbers change, no one is going to care about fixing a broken process like this.

Next time I look for a new job, I'm going to start with this list: https://github.com/poteto/hiring-without-whiteboards and give priority to companies that don't have this type of process. I hope more companies recognize that they can get a big competitive advantage for senior engineering talent by not copying the Google process.

thank you cscurmudgeon. Only you seem to get it. I included Jews to prove that being model minority is quite complex and not all minorities can be compared. I think most missed the point and went into genetics which i don't believe in. I was expecting people to understand that if your parents are educated, you are more likely to be educated which proves to be the case for Jews and Indians in US.

I'm not OK with the Chinese having slingshots and spears, never mind ICBMs and nuclear warheads. That doesn't stop them, and I'm not offended or shocked that they would be armed.

Regarding cyberwar, I prefer that the Chinese not know how to program computers or even find the "on" switch. I'm not offended or shocked that they manage this and much more.

The same goes for Syria.

Wouldn't it be better to write a shim library that provides Linux-like MMU behavior at a userspace per-process level, and then target libs like libcurl to it? It'd be a sort of "memory policy driver" that you'd port to an embedded OS.

Yes arrests made. No idea of the outcome though. Plenty of people getting away with it though. Simple fraud still works. Identity theft etc. Very easy stuff. There's a great Vice documentary about fraud online somewhere where one of the fraudsters opens up his lockup to reveal 100+ garbage bags full of stolen bank statements, utility bills etc that they use to piece together fake identity ammo.

Per the numbers, ($400MM for 25MM books), it doesn't seem like it was that easy. It seems like Google had the money and the wherewithal to devote the necessary money and muscle to the effort.
It isn't free, but all that pointer chasing is one step for each allow and one for each free. There is no need to look for a 'best' block on alloc, nor is there a need to search for a best place to insert a block on free.

Moreover, the cache hit you take for an alloc likely would have happened anyways because, presumably, the program that made the allocation wants to write to the allocated memory (in theory, that doesn't imply the CPU has to _read_ the memory, but are there allocators that are that smart?)

For frees, the memory may, but need not be, already be in the cache when free is called.
If someone has strict privacy needs, why wouldn't they read the privacy policy? Read it or don't read it, it's your choice.

That's on you, it's not unethical that the terms don't work the way you want them to.
Spanish is similar, so I'd imagine it's common in other languages, at least those related to English and Spanish. If gender is uncertain, for instance in the case of a mixed gender group, you just fall back to masculine adjectives, etc. I'd imagine for such practical purposes most languages would have some "default" and there are surely feminine-defaulting languages out there.
I like the mix between philosophy, biology and computation. Philosophy tries to describe what is thinking, biology tries to understand how it happens and in computation we try to replicate it.

Maybe I don't understand the meaning of "blocks" in Perl 6 (if they work this way, I definitely don't understand them). I've never worked in Perl 6, except a couple of tutorials, so that's entirely possible. I mean, I know Perl 6 has the ability to fundamentally change the language within the language itself.

I'm not saying that Apple is better, or denying that Facebook does a 'better job', but instead just reinforcing the concept that all these technology companies don't open source out of the goodness of their heart, but instead for the same strategic decisions that Apple does it for.
This observation applies to database engines generally. It is straightforward to explain: almost everyone with deep expertise in sophisticated database engine internals are contractually prohibited from disclosing anything about the design of such things. It is an industry steeped in trade secrets. Sophisticated database engines are littered with novel algorithms and designs that have never been published. Because basic performance superiority is a key market differentiator, database companies have invested heavily in computer science R&D for decades to get an edge they are loath to share. Sadly, academia is increasingly in the role of independently re-discovering what has been known for 10-20 years but treated as a secret.

The other big factor is that almost all open source database engines are the product of someone who is basically designing their first database engine. Prometheus is now on its third(?) redesign, and while you can see the growth of the designers' skill it is still a relatively naive design. This is not a jab at the designers, it just takes many creative iterations over many years to discover all the tricks that the experts know but nobody publishes. I probably spent a decade producing database engines that in hindsight were pretty mediocre but at the time I thought they were sophisticated -- I didn't know what I didn't know.

As a last observation, the other issue is that building a genuinely sophisticated database engine requires a commitment to writing an enormous amount of code before the barest database kernel can even bootstrap, on the order of 20kLoC of dense C++, never mind provide any database functionality. I've noticed that most open source projects need to see the payoff of code running and doing something minimally useful with much lower levels of investment. For database engines, getting to running code as quickly as possible compromises the design but the pressure to get to running code is understandable. The amount of time and effort required to design and build a state-of-the-art database engine goes far beyond what most people are willing to invest in what is essentially a hobby.
Agreed, I follow Stoller on twitter and I've found him very thought provoking.
Regarding the quantum computer article:

I can't imagine what kind of problems these machines will eventually address. I am reminded of when the Commodore 64 hobby computer came out. "What in the world," I wondered, "would require 64 K of ram?" 64 K was clearly excessive.

Comparing what computers can do now to my pathetic failure to anticipate what they might do someday suggests just how fantastic the future is going to be compared to now.
Thanks for sharing! I've used Kimai [https://github.com/kimai/kimai] for a while, which offers similar functionality. Timestrap is MUCH nicer to look at, though the feature I use the most on Kimai isn't as well-implemented: the big stopwatch that adds entries quickly.
Well, yes, exactly: rsh, rlogin and rcp were often considered together, as they both used the same access control - /etc/hosts.equiv. So it's not that surprising that ssh, slogin and scp came together as a replacement set.

The search for deviations from standard quantum mechanics
Serious publications that get things wrong usually, however late, acknowledge they got things wrong. The New York Times, just to pick an example, have publicly commented on things like the mistakes in Judith Miller's pre-Iraq-war reporting or their coverage of the Wen Ho Lee case. The Guardian still has these stories up without as much as a nod to the fact they are strongly contested by experts.
I didn't realize that came from POSIX or was an attempt at complying with it. Yes the array indice makes sense (although exposing that externally and not just adjusting the value internally seems like a poor decision). Not sure why Java felt the need to carry that behaviour across, I can't recall anyone clammering for POSIX compliant date handling.

While I'm not interested in getting into a semantic argument around something arbitrary like what "getting the web" means, unless I'm missing something (which is absolutely possible!) I don't think it's fair to compare the Apple App Store (https://itunes.apple.com/us/genre/ios/id36?mt=8) to the Google Play Store (https://play.google.com/store/apps?hl=en). One of these is clearly baked for the web, and one of these is not.

Also, as an aside, if I have missed something and there is a better app store experience for Apple please let me know - I just chose the top result searching for "Apple App Store".

That's stupid. Competent 3d on Windows is DirectX. Competent 3d on Mac/ios is Metal. Competent 3d on consoles uses their propriatary API. So, what is the point of OpenGL portability? Between Linux and Android? You _will_ have to switch API if you are making anything worthy.

Kimai does handle the stop watch functionality much better than I do right now. This is a huge feature for me personally so I do plan on making it much better.

There is a "perfection" period when things go wrong in e-filing. Granted, you shouldn't have waited until the last moment to file. That being said, you could have called 1-800-829-1040 for guidance on how to fix the problem through either fixing your e-filing or mailing it in with appropriate headings to still be counted on-time.

The main line was slow on the 18th and people had very little wait time. The 19th was much the same. There were an excess of operators who were waiting for calls on the non-specialty line.

Go read Publication 17 for guidance for next year.

I agree with your points about gifs.

However I don't think apple ever intended Live Photos to be a replacement for gifs. They're just a fun little feature that works well within the context of taking photos with a cell camera.
There being no good place to move because every other government also allows these things, is a sort of monopoly problem of its own...
While GIF was gaining popularity as a video format (YTMND and all) in 2004 when the patents expired, I think it was later that it really exploded, with sites like Reddit appearing, and social media gaining steam in general.
It is weird no computer so called scientists know science.

Any detection system are characterized by the fact they will fail at detecting true positive, and tag false negative as true.

That is the 101 of science, there is a COST for detection and failure.

Biometrics are based on detection hence they can fail according to their sensitivity (false negative) and the cost of cheating (false positive). This analysis vary with progress.

AI too are detection systems, they also fail and can be defeated, it is just a question of balancing a cost/benefits analysis with a good budget. Hence criminal organizations and governments will tend to be the firsts one to exploit theses systems because they have larger budgets.
It is possible to do so, I suppose, but the results are normally catastrophic financially. You can have levies placed on you if you end up owing $5,000 or more. You can have liens placed on your property if you owe $10,000 or more. You can have your passport revoked nowadays if you owe $50,000 or more.

Avoid the catastrophe.

Elon Musk Promises Human-To-Human Telepathy. Don’t Believe It
No. But Pence was definitely not talking about achievable political goals. He was just flatly denying that certain things happened.

Clinton wasn't gaslighting; she was just espousing the (correct, as far as I can tell) idea that in order to be a successful leader, you have to convince different sides that you believe different things, even if those sides are talking to each other to figure out what you believe. That seems at least a little bit gaslighty if you never admit your duplicity. (In Clinton's favor, the speech in question was effectively admitting the duplicity - and the backlash made it clear how bad an idea that is if you want to remain in positions of leadership.)

I think it's certainly possible to tell everyone you meet, "In an ideal world, I'd support X, but for the following reasons I think only X' is achievable right now; these are the ways in which I'd be convinced that X is in fact achievable." And you could be effective doing that. But probably you'd not be as effective in the American value system as someone who says "No, I genuinely support X and will fight for X" to one person and "Of course I don't support X, that's unrealistic" to another.

State of the art?
In 20 years I haven't seen a time where this wasn't the case.

Seed money is the first to take the risk and deserves the majority share of profit

VC (series A,B,C) are putting in the most money and brining big hitters for the board and advisors. They clearly deserve the majority share.

Founders do all the work and it's their idea so they deserve all the money.

The second generation leaders productive, operationalize, and bring legitimacy to the company, so they deserve all the money.

Whichever group has the leverage forces the table to tilt their direction.

It doesn't matter how good the potential is, how sure the victory is, how close the first breakthrough customer is, if you don't trust someone, or there's a slimy/smarmy vibe then just walk away. It's not worth putting in years of effort to have to resort to contract lawyers to get paid.
The only thing blocks have to do with this, is that Perl6 has to internally track state so that closed over values go out of scope when their parent block ends. End of story.

Maybe I can try explaining again.

Eval is unsafe as it reads input values in terms of the current state of a program.

It's environment is implicitly given, and includes the entirety of the Perl6 language, as well as anything user-created.

But, what if the programmer was allowed to supply that context?

Rather than a blacklist against certain bad things, this is a whitelist where you supply every single thing that eval is allowed to use.

Other languages already have this.

Scheme example that works:

(eval '(+ 1 2) (let (null-environment) '(+ . +)))

Scheme eval that fails:

(eval '(+ 1 2) (null-environment))

Perl6's flexibility is less unsafe when you don't provide anything flexible.
And now it all makes sense. That's amazing.
My experience: I applied for an open position at google on their website, during the university, an interview was arranged after some mails, I was positively surprised by their care of detail: about setting the inteview at right time during the day for me, wow!. When I recieved the call i was suprised, but because call me at wrong day, at wrong time, It was on dinner on my time, and I drinked a couple of beer, it was stressful, the interview was difficult and unsuccessful, after a couple of days by mail told that inteview was not successful. I'm from italy, here the company adopt the Hollywood Principle: “don’t call us, we’ll call you”, because there are too much applicants and few good jobs. I digested: maybe I'm not good for the position, but also them are not perfect, but at least they try to be gentle.
After a two of year I recived a mail for an interview, I was suprised because I did not solicitate it, I was very relaxed because I was discard the previous time, so why this time should be different? (I'm fine that better developer exist), the interview seem goes easily, at the end interviewer ask me where I'd like to work if I could decide and describe some offices on google on different coutry, It was too exciting to be true, and replied all are the same for me, but why you call me, on the other interview I was discarded, he was suprised, told some 0info and asked some info on precedent inverview. Also this time I was informed by mail that the interview was not successful.
Lesson 2: I thinked they call me by error, so two mistake in two interview:. nobody is perfect.
