Let me rephrase that; Skipping reindexing punch cards: If your adversary can write some ASM to get the EIP to point to a malicious instruction, they can instruct your system to do something you don't necessarily want it to do. Then our homies at bell labs built C, as a layer of abstraction to ASM. With C, your adversary has several ways to accomplish getting the EIP to his malicious instruction. Then, over the years, many brilliant, incredible minds, (no sarcasm about that. None.) have built abstractions to simplify C, and then built abstractions on top of those abstractions, and then abstractions to simplify those abstractions. (I'm totally not even going to touch networking protocols) There is decades, of building systems with flaws, on top of systems with security flaws, (which admittedly wasn't as much of a concern to anyone, as providing the functionality to accomplish objectives, business and otherwise) ... literally, like over half a century of this. So then these middle-management suits, operating with "LEAN 6-Sigma" misconceptions about the nature of the world, expect a kid, with a degree in anthropology (not knocking the study) to run through a 12-week intensive program, and be able to write code for a production system, with perhaps 2 people on their dev team of 8-16, and 3 folks in devops/IT who understand security to be able to proof all of that code, and make sure that your Gibson is bulletproof? It's unrealistic. If she wants to hack your Gibson, she's going to hack your Gibson. We're all going to attempt to stop that, and after we've failed, we will spend days filling out reports, talking to feds, and mitigating the damage. But we're continuously building onto a flawed mechanism, with another flawed mechanism. I mean, do you know any civil engineers who would say, "Oh hey this foundation is cracked, let's build something that tries to patch those cracks, and when that's broken, we'll build another level on top of that, and let's just obfuscate what's really going on underneath everything so that nobody who uses the building realizes it's unstable, and just hope it doesn't get too windy, or that there is an earthquake." ? Ipso Facto: When you launch some ransomware, that threatens the software reading a gyroscope to tip over an oil tanker if you aren't paid $1,000,000, and try to blame it on some kids who's only crime was curiosity, they will find a way to subvert the carefully measured security mechanisms you have put in place, to not only clear their names, and prove beyond the shadow of doubt that it was in fact YOU, who hatched this terrible plot, but also save the environment.

Sorry, I should have said that to begin with.
Focus on results, not how much or how hard someone works. Also, don't you think maybe the system is wrong to expect a creative task to be constantly worked on?

Taking half a day is a joke. Working on developer tooling sounds like a joke too. Your mentality doesn't seem like a good fit for a creative task.

Based on this live tweets (https://twitter.com/CSaid) it doesn't sound like Waymo/Google is making much headway. They want to pin this on Uber, but haven't presented evidence of wrongdoing by Uber:

Judge to Waymo: U have no proof that shows a chain
of Levandowski saying to anybody here’s the
trade secrets.

Unless Waymo presents something like this, I don't see how this trial benefits them. Sure they can make a big fuss an get Levandowski kicked off self driving cars / Lidars, but that won't stop Uber from moving forward with their program.
Great work! Inspiring hack!
Perhaps if Javascript were used more like a traditional programming language? I.e. to build a terminal emulator, you find the JS library that binds to OpenGL or SDL or X or Cocoa or whatever, and you write JS code against that library, then compile it into a bytecode/binary.

No! To get started, there are many opportunities for VR dev on smartphones. You can even start working with hand-tracking with the new Samsung Gear/Google Daydream!

IANAL, but most likely: nothing. Less likely: Facebook counter-sues you for patent infringement and (maybe?) has a slightly better case as long as you keep using it. Your lawyers tell your engineers to rewrite everything without Facebook technologies and it's all a big pain in the ass and you regret ever suing Facebook for patent infringement.
True, but the only way you're going to "work with companies direct" is by having someone on the inside that can get your resume the light of day.

Nobody is going to call back somebody with no "work" experience for the past 5 years even if you claim to know the new javascript frameworks.
I don't see anything wrong in what you said.

I would go further, and I see our work culture as what is wrong. Very few vacation days and having to work too much. Having to work for healthcare (if you're in the US). I would wish we took a step back, and actually thought what we would really want instead of having to work all the time.

No, it actually really is too spread out. My hometown of St. Louis once had an extensive streetcar network, that much is true; but you're missing a key point: that network was almost entirely within the 66 square miles of the original St. Louis City limits.

The region is now spread far, far beyond those original borders. Only about 300k of the 2.8 million residents of greater St. Louis currently live within those limits.

The historic streetcar network cannot be replicated today precisely because, yes, we are too spread out.
The factors are 1.25, 1.5, and 2, as far as I know. Note that there are many different pixel densities out there and they don't follow simple integer multiples.

This is still a big problem that could hold the technology back... VR devs have the responsibility of creating experiences that don't cause simulator sickness. Ideally, with more powerful systems in the coming years, we'll have the ability to increase performance so our visual and vestibular cues don't get mixed up in VR.
I had this same basic idea, but have not pursued it very aggressively. Part of what kept me from doing much about it is that I don't expect people to want me to be able read their emails to gain some convenience/efficiency.

I think it was a very valid argument, otherwise I wouldn't have made it. You can take time to re-read and think about it more.

Let's try one more way...

We may know all the statistics of every baseball player that make up both teams.

But, we can't declare winner based on stats alone. We still have to go out there and play the game.

If we ban guns based on stats, then it would be equivalent to asking baseball players to not use bats during the game... because stats!!! What's the point of taking bats to the game, you are going to lose anyway. Right?

I may not take on a professional baseball team, my decision.

Someone may decide to do just that, they may succeed, they may not. Should they not play because of stats? Should they not carry bats to the ballpark because of stats?

Should the society stop the game from happening, outlawing it but declaring winner at the same time, because of stats?

That is the equivalent of society banning guns from citizens. You declare the criminal who carries gun anyway an automatic winner, you don't let the citizen have a chance at the game, you use force (police) to stop citizen from attempting to play.

"The easiest way to avoid loopholes" and "frequency of use in real life" are not equivalent.

I'd certainly argue there are plenty of vague, overbroad laws, regardless of the frequency of strict liability's usage.

I'd further argue infrequency actually increases the likelihood that otherwise innocent individuals are swept up in such cases: they have less reason to suspect that they've done anything wrong.

They still do that with some sets.

Everything you described in the last paragraph is a commodity market other than software.

This seems like a lot of spin, honestly. I don't have the background here, but Harrison evidently didn't build a clock with the claimed accuracy. Some people with access to advanced material and fabrication technology (whether they availed themselves of it is not mentioned) built it over 200 years later. It seems entirely possible that their skepticism was based on the fact that actually building such a thing was infeasible at the time.

Additionally, I feel like it's a bit disingenuous to pretend like people thought he was a crank. He was well-regarded as a brilliant clock-designer and builder.

I mean, I think it's totally plausible that he could have built such a thing - I live in a world where 1 second in 100 days doesn't seem like a terribly accurate clock, so I'm not particularly blown away by the claim. I just think it's worth pointing out that probably a lot of these highly adversarial stories that make for a neat little story are probably not an accurate picture of reality.

The gmail account you use to talk with people shouldn't be the same one you use to send password resets to.

It's fine to allow CRM apps or whatever to have OAuth access to your regular gmail account, you just shouldn't give read-write access to the one you use for your retirement account or whatever. (Read-only access is much less dangerous, because even if someone can trigger a password reset email they can't delete it afterwards.)

Sadly, I think the solution in the US and some parts of the EU is even worse than the chinese one.

Try buying Cuban cigars without cash anywhere. Your VISA or MasterCard will mysteriously fail to allow this purchase – because, due to the embargo, these companies just refuse to allow transactions containing the words "cuba", "iran", etc.

VISA and MasterCard also have additional rules of their own, and if you have a society that is cashless, they can just cut you off, too.

This is giving a for-profit entity (which, by its own nature, does not care about you, just about taking your money) far too much power.

Sweden is having that problem: You can’t do anything without a debit card anymore, banks have high fees just to get cash from your account, but the only debit cards you can get are from VISA or MasterCard.

This wouldn’t be an issue if there were many competitors, or even local competitors, or if the systems were open.
