your point is correct, but we have seen way too many instances where laws originating due to terrorism (patriot act comes to mind) gets abused for randomly spying on the citizens of the united states.

Terrorism is also the underlying reason why some of these laws are not overruled and are still in place.

When the law is in place, law enforcement is free to use it, even if the intention of the law is different. It's lawful.
It's clearly high because of what people believe about the future.

What remains to be seen is whether those beliefs are correct. It's not unheard of for stocks to.fly high because of what people believe the future will bring, and then to come down when that prediction turns out to be false.

Let me put it this way: have you been able to improve the situation using your approach? It's not about a person being better than another person, it's about working in a way that is successful. I'm saying that the other side of the equation thinks that they have to treat people poorly or else people will take advantage of them. Your behaviour will only reinforce their belief. My challenge to you is to find a way show them that they are wrong. If you succeed, then life will be better for everyone, not simply tolerable for you.

It's not going to work all the time. Some people are jerks and there is no way to convince them to work together with other people. They just take everything they can and give nothing back. My experience is that these people are pretty rare, though. The vast majority of people who act like jerks do it because they are convinced that there is no other option. I'm not saying that you are being a jerk, but the attitude that you espouse just reinforces their view. They believe that they must take everything, or there will be nothing left for them. They believe that they can't give anything back because it will all be taken from them.

Give something back for free, even if they give nothing back. How much you give is still under your control. It won't always improve the situation, but my experience has been that it will sometimes improve the situation.
It drives up costs and they have budget concerns would be my guess.
Thank you, I read through it since then, and it was a well-researched and shocking report about the mismanagement of private data. I'm surprised it didn't get more attention from the privacy-conscious crowd here. Perhaps readers are less likely to directly download a PDF.

The paper might have better exposure/interest if you could find an HTML page/article describing the paper. I would recommend reposting it, I believe it's within forum guidelines, when a relevant article is not noticed, you can repost it.
Good points; I wonder what the investment banks saw. Certainly Tesla depends on government laws, regulations and policy, especially as a new entrant seeking widespread changes in several regulated industries. For example, they want electric charging stations spread nationwide, they'd probably like fossil fuels to become more expensive or at least become less subsidized, subsidies for electric cars, regulators to not delay or limit Tesla innovations, etc. etc.

Also, government does R&D on battery tech, I'm pretty sure. Does anyone know how much Tesla directly or indirectly benefits? Finally, they may want to sell to government; fleets of large organizations often are good customers for alternative fuels, because (AFAIK) they can provide and support their own infrastructure. But that is speculative (as is investing!).

Woah, you don't know much about watchmaking do you? Can you name one single respected watchmaker that adds jewels to increase "jewel count"? Hell, not a single haute horology house advertises how many jewels they have in their movement. They simply label it, and you won't see it in any marketing material because it's irrelevant.
From a civilian perspective, hypothetically speaking, why should we continue to fund the GI Bill if it's just going to be wasted? In a world where too many of the veterans get fleeced and get nothing for the money it would be rational for the rest of us to cut that benefit, perhaps replacing it with nothing or with a difference benefit like a larger pension. Personal responsibility is important but it doesn't exist in a vacuum. As a taxpayer I want societal good to come from my tax dollars, so I feel a responsibility to prevent the veterans from being taken by scammers and do discourage scamming in general.

I'm going to be tossing and turning tonight trying not to dream about libraries that usually work 90% of the time.
I don't use Snapchat, so correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't those relatively new developments? From a quick Google search, it seems that the acquisition of Looksery and the launch of "Snapchat Lens" didn't occur until September 2015. By then, Snapchat already had at least 80 million daily active users. While their current real time computer vision stuff is definitely not something the average engineer could make, it does seem like they started out as a cookie cutter app.
Yes still got marked as SPAM.

But I was just surprised to see an image there. It's clever.
With the status quo, say you call malloc() once. After a long while you call free(). Now the first thing free() needs to do is figure out the size, which is stored "before" the pointer. Until that load is complete, it can't know how large the allocation was, so it can't prefetch other necessary data, e.g. the free list for a given chunk size. This could add 120 cycles of latency to get a value that the caller probably already had in L1 cache or could compute with a single multiply.
The problem is we have no way to know if they are the "good ones" or the "bad ones" until after the fact so unless you feel you have no alternative, it is better to avoid contact with them.
Yes, because your taste represent all software developers right?

I'm a software developer, I've worked at YC startups as well as big companies like Google, and I have a degree in Computer Engineering so I know the hardware side of things as well.

That's the Dumbarton Rail Bridge, built in 1910 and closed in 1982. The western trestle burned down in the 90s [1] and the swinging part of the span has been welded into a perma-open position. Several studies were done in the 90s and 2000s to restart rail service, including this 2004 one from the San Mateo County Transportation Authority [2]. The bridge itself would have to be significantly refurbished, replacing the movable span and various segments.

Actually, Patek's design absolutely fits your criteria of engineering excellence.

If one of the design constraint is "no use of any electricity allowed", and the requirement is a perpetual calendar, then Patek's design is absolutely amazing in both functionality and reliability.
Very interesting. I have a few questions:

What challenges did you encountered the most when teaching kids to code?

Do you have any suggestion on how to teach coding to kids from non-english-speaking countries? I think it would be much more challenging since most programming languages are written in english, and these kids are not fluent in english. Or, is it better if I write a new programming language using my native language?

I think for the most part we're remarkably adept at not noticing what's going on with our own experience. If you stop to notice how you recognize that you had the thought "this is a thought asserting...", you will discover what it is I mean by the word subjectivity, and that even your refutation of it becomes known to you via it.
What might you recommend to someone who wants to to learn more about these subjects?

For example, http://www.muppetlabs.com/~breadbox/software/tiny/teensy.htm... is extremely interesting, but a lot of it is over my head.

I guess at the end of the day there's no real alternative to "just dive into the source code for a while" with these sorts of things - hence the importance of having "decades of experience" under your belt - but I'm curious if there's anywhere in particular that you might recommend as a startpoint.
It is interesting, almost everyone I know has a story where some cop abused there authority. When people start sharing their stories, it is always amazing to me how many people chime in with similar encounters. Until it happens to you, people don't realize how frightening and scaring it is. I completely feel for you. I was physically ill for weeks after my encounter. I believe that it is a problem that is far more pervasive than maybe is realized.
Or a call to strlen() which makes your 120 cycles of latency start to look good ...

Edit to add: I've used both malloc()/free() and a custom memory allocation API that required the size to be passed in. I found the second API to be much more of a pain to use over the long term. Besides, it wastes memory because the memory API will have to track the size anyway to detect misuse of the API (or else blindly trust that the right size is passed in and hilarity ensues when it's not ...).

It isn't irrelevant if you are attempting to implement it correctly.

> If you look something up and the interviewer asks you what the O() of your approach is and you don't know, how can they feel assured you grasp these fundamentals?

That wasn't the original question in the comment I responded to and your attempt to re-phrase it as X when it was a question related to a specific algorithm is disingenuous.

It's hardly pro public policy for natural persons to violate the law, either. Again we come back to this point: What can you point to as any kind of evidence that courts make the distinction you claim. If your answer is that you would need to teach me civil and criminal procedure first, I would note that I am a lawyer and aced those courses, so feel free to assume an advanced understanding in your response. I don't practice actively in criminal matters, hence my seeking to learn the basis of your position. But I understand enough to know that your position is one that, if true, it would have a basis that one could point to somewhere in some jurisdiction without saying "it depends on many things" and "you need to understand civil/criminal procedure". In other words, I see no reason why your view is automatic given the nature of corporations. It seems to me if civil disobedience matters, it matters as the reason for which the party acted. The law views corporations are capable of acting for reasons; how else could you make sense of things like punitive damages awards against corporations? Again, maybe you're right. If you are, please take advantage of the teaching opportunit and share a link. ;)

What does it mean for there to be an objective "element" to subjectivity (which here I take to be synonymous with consciousness)?

And do you agree with naasking's claim above that it is meaningful to refute your own consciousness?
A perfect example of "just because they can, doesn't mean they should" are the private companies driving around with license plate readers just because they can.

"or vehicles operated by private surveillance companies that cruise down streets and in parking lots photographing licenses of parked cars. These companies often offer services such as the ability to predict a driver’s movements or to identify a driver’s associates based on vehicles regularly found parked near each other. "
And there will be something else after it. Which probably already exists, and is just unknown.

Facebook has definitely not left it as the "same old Instagram". They've changed the home feed algorithm to basically the same as the Facebook home feed algorithm, and there's been a lot of content creators negatively impacted by it (I know this because of the industry my wife works in, which is having major issues now, where engagement has basically halved among anybody except the top maybe 5% of content creators).

"Share music the old-fashioned way: with iMessage stickers”

Inspired by a music teacher friend who wanted to text music to his students, and Apple's new support for kitten stickers, I came up with this:

A toolkit for music notation: Lay down a staff, then decorate it with notes, rests, slurs, and more. I added guitar fingerings and tabs, time signatures and more.

Learned a lot about musical notation and stickers and seems to be quite popular in Europe for some reason.

Here’s a video for folks without iOS devices and for tips about how to grab notes (they have clear handles on the bottom).

> If you actually _read_ the article instead of looking for buzzwords and rushing to post a comment (first!),

I didn't see his now edited comments so can't comment on what he wrote, but since I did see your posts, why are you trying to write off as mere "buzzwords" the section of the article about a Human Rights Watch report of 70+ people being jailed, one for over a year, under material witness warrants?

Why are you suggesting he read the article (a no-no here anyway) if he quoted from it?

If someone wants to comment about something in the article[1] that you don't happen to be interested in there are better ways of dealing with it than attacking the poster, dismissing him as confused and accusing them of behaviour (scanning for buzzwords) and motives ("FIRST POST!") which you can't possibly support or back up.

[1] A lot of the time people here just use a keyword in the subject to dredge up some hobby horse that has nothing remotely to do with the article.

It's probably mostly a British thing. We use it a lot in Australia too - 'twenty to four' 'half past nine' - probably a little less common than saying it like 'six thirty' or 'two twenty-five' though.
I'd add another requirement: They should get the same "can't be fired for missing work" rules as people summoned for jury duty. Whether you're a juror or a witness, you're being required to perform a public service; there's no justification for having different rules.

Doesn't the author make that case at the end?
The "make malloc faster" part was done over a decade ago with the followup from ptmalloc2 (the official glibc malloc) to ptmalloc3. But it added one word overhead per region, so the libc people never updated it to v3. perf. regression.
They rather broke the workarounds they added. And now they are breaking emacs with their new malloc.
Alternatively, things like this is why it is great when everyone works together to improve one lib rather instead of forming their efforts on two essentially-identical ones. You act like
libc++ is somehow simply better and probably doesn't have bugs :/. I have been doing C++ work now for over two decades and let me set that record straight in your head: incredibly basic stuff has been pretty extremely broken in libc++. One horror story that wasted way way too much of my life is that the copy that Mac OS X 10.7 seriously shipped with a build of libc++ where std::streambuf failed to check EOF conditions correctly. Despite most of my projects being compiled simultaneously by numerous versions of both gcc and clang (to target various weird configurations), I seriously don't remember the last time I ran into a bug in gcc and libstdc++... it was pre-2006 for sure... but I continue to run into annoying issues with clang and libc++. The correct way to read "modern" when applied to "codebase" is "untested". And hell: while I am totally willing to believe there is a bug here, this post doesn't have a fix and doesn't even seem to have led to a bug report. This is like saying "I compiled my code using -O0 and it started working, so clearly this is a bug in the optimizer", which we should all know is a dubious statement at best.
Is it still?
It has. It was never updated to ptmalloc3
Ads definitely create value.

"from useless point A to other useless point B."

I laughed at this, but you're right. VTA built the slowest, dumbest light rail system I've ever used. It was nice, and I used it on occasion, but very rarely.

I thought the same thing about DART in Dallas 10 years ago, but it's spread out quite a bit now, finally reaching to DFW Airport and Dallas Love Field.

Maybe VTA will continue to grow like that. One day.
How is having a seven car garage the same as pouring champagne onto the floor? What if you legitimately like cars? It's not like they drive them into trees to show off they can afford them.

And no, jewels are used in watch movements for legit reasons, and no haute horology manufacturers add them for the sake of status symbol, you are just making it up there.

Daily standup is a scam just like the "open office".

Most of the time it turns into a beating stick for incompetent managers to feel good.

They are both defended by people for various superficial theoretical reasons that never come to fruition.

Like they try to defend open office because "it's good for collaboration" but in reality it's only to cut down office costs and to let employees watch each other.

If giving people private offices was much cheaper you'd never in a million years see a company accept the increased cost of an open office just because "it's good for collaboration".

This is a pattern that you can notice easily in business. Anything undesirable that is not good for you will be applied a lip-stick of colorful language in order to "sell" it to you and it goes right into the echo chamber.

You can put people in boxes that stack on top of each other and then say "Our beautiful stacked-box office promotes a culture of deep thinking and solitude where you can re-gain your focus and stay away from constant distractions.".

What are you talking about? The fall of Rome involved the loss of a huge amount of technology and learning, as people abandoned the idea of specialization of labor and cities so they could go work as serfs in the fields for feudal lords. For the citizens of Rome (not just the ruling classes), it was absolutely a large decrease in living standards, and in overall civilization. There's a reason the period following is called "the Dark Ages": there was very little education any more, and no one wrote anything down like they used to, so that period is largely a mystery (relative to how much we know about the Roman times). It took 1000 years for western civilization to get anywhere near the level of civilization that Rome had developed.

Now you're right that it wasn't exactly a "crisis for humanity" because it only affected one part of the world--western Europe (the eastern Roman Empire continued), and also didn't involve a massive die-off, just a regression of civilization in that one area.
They only store the size in a header because free() needs to know the size on deallocation. Think about all the C string functions that take buffer length parameters and what an outcry there would be if we eliminated all the size parameters and placed string lengths as headers before the buffer itself.

It's terrible for performance because you're giving up control, even if it is a little safer overall.

I trust that we will one day find precise physical correlates of, and conditions for (i.e., "causes of"), consciousness. But the burning question I have (roughly: "what IS this thing?!) will not have even been partially satisfied, any more than if the same happened in a dream.

I think guys like the Buddha were right: for that, I have to sit down for a good long while and allow consciousness to become more fully aware of itself. And if it cannot be communicated to others, that's perhaps just how it goes.
Create Your Own Social Media Strategy
That's not what full employment means.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Full_employment
It's disappointing that tech journalists don't go a bit harder at the founders when writing pieces like these. Sure, it's interesting to find out about Instagram's internal processes and their projections, but Facebook is becoming increasingly regarded as being the main contributor to a new kind of social malaise. Therefore, if Instagram is aspiring to that level of adoption, how can questions like this not be put to the founders?

Maybe it's just me, but for once I'd love to see a journalist be a bit more frank with these siloed cyber-utopionists and ask some hard questions about what social value they're actually creating - rather than chewing over sign-up metrics and scaling strategies. Anecdotally, I've never seen one interview with Zuckerberg where a journalist actually calls him out on his "we're just connecting people" poppycock.
