Stepping on Neil Armstrong: Ars visits the Navy’s newest research vessel
For me personally, if the character is unrealistic, then it bothers me. It is not that it would be primary interest, I don't read because of it. But when it is badly written it make me stop to read - it prevents immersion to me and makes me feel like that world does not "work".
So now I have to write C code ? XD
> if the riemann conjecture is proven, precisely nothing happens. its not even possible that something happens in the tangible world, because of some result in mathematics.

Unless I'm mistaken, if proved the Riemann Conjecture could provide insights on the distribution of prime numbers or a polynomial-time algorithm for prime factorization, which would enable attacks on ciphers that rely on the difficulty of this problem (e.g. RSA).

This is not assured by the yes/no answer of the conjecture, but the underlying work to reach that.
Other CRM tools I've used will allow you to create groups/categories of contacts and set the recurrence to contact people in that group. You could similarly rate the group instead of individuals. Then the user could re-evaluate based on the group (friends, colleague, family, etc)
>Really this news should be taken with a grain of salt.

Something I think is valuable in this leak is the fact that the general public will be better educated that in fact their printers are capable of tracking every single thing they print, and there is no really, truly, anonymous personal printing any more.

I hope the blahgosphere will pick up on this and that we see Stories targeted to the normals that explains these sorts of things to them. Grandma may not care too much about her phone being listened to (after all, it was always so, to her at least..), but if you explain to Grandpa that there is a secret code that will tie every single printed sheet back to his house-hold, well, that may raise a few shingles ..

There's also a surprising number of math/science related theorems/problem named after food. This came up on HN a couple years ago:

I really meant circuit/physical design rather than high level design i.e pre-tapeout. Also PCBs are visually designed though I learnt about using python above and need to check that out.
Lots of optimized libraries used in scientific computing are done in Fortran with the language itself making some optimizations easier just because it's more conservative. All the HPC vendors selling supercomputers and such have Fortran on them. The language itself has been updated periodically, too. Add a legacy effect of people just using it for a long time and you get a language that isn't going away.

"I can tell you, because I received many letters of this sort ... young people are absolutely starving for someone to provide them with a sense of responsibility, and say look here, here's something worth living for, man.

You can find meaning in life with freedom, but freedom. Freedom is a chaotic sort of meaning, right, and freedom isn't sort of thing makes people happy. It is the sort of thing people troublesome -- troubled. Because freedom expands your series of choices, and that makes you nervous and uncertain... not to say that that's a bad thing. It's a good thing but it requires that you shoulder the responsibility of the freedom, but responsibility per se is what gives your life meaning, genuine meaning in the face of suffering." -Jordan Peterson
Basic training does a great many more things than bring people together. And I was also trying to simplify. I see no real need to get into this tangent and nitpick it to death. It isn't really pertinent to the topic at hand.

You seem to misunderstand. I don't object to the policies; I am strongly in favour of them. After all, I benefit from them as well. I object to it being characterized as primarily a women's issue. That does a disservice to both sexes 1) by implying that women's gender is the problem when it is not, and 2) by failing to recognize that in order to live a balanced life, men need exactly the same policies. In other words, it is not a "women's issue," it is a "human issue."
You may not have claimed that, but ckastner's comment, "That's not exactly trust-inspiring, I'd say," pretty much directly impugnes The Intercept's security and trust.

Potentially. We've obtained IRB approval for some other studies we are working on. His particular research will almost certainly go into another paper and he'll be credited with multiple published works, and probably get cited quite a bit.

He has very little interest in starting up Ph.D. work, same as me (we're both college dropouts). However, AUT in NZ has offered to examine work for their Ph.D. program which is remote and based solely on research contributed. We might look into that.

I have essentially no interest in dealing with the machine that is academia, so unless it's minimal work, I'll probably pass. My employee feels the same.
But practically, what would you do given the information divulged. Hackers gonna hack, that's known. Does knowing Russian agents attempted a hack cast them in worse light? No; we already know Russia isn't a close political ally of the US. What details of the hack do is tip off the Russians to burn their channels and methods and complicate the NSA's work in protecting American digital assets from further attack (as well as, depending on what secondary information can be gleaned from the hack based on what the Russians know, compromise the NSA's own back-channels and espionage approaches to understanding what Russia's spy operations are doing).

There's a difference between the leaks Deep Throat provided ("Your President is a criminal") and the leaks allegedly executed by Reality Winner ("Russian spies are spying, as Russian spies do"). A failure to distinguish qualitative nature of dumped information weakens both the future security of leakers and the overall philosophy that more transparency is a good thing.
The leaker first contacted them through her work email.

It was game over at that point. Nothing they could do would have fixed that.
Just to clarify that's part 1 of the series and this is part 2.

It surprises me that US government has not yet started harvesting organs of the prisoners. Why does someone who has been sentenced for 20 years in prison need his extra kidney for ?

> 30% of California forest firefighters are prisoners .. The state argued against parole credit for these prisoners as it would draw down the labor force and lead to depletion of the firefighter force.

I guess if some of them die fighting fire we as a society are told to think "good riddance".

Lack of compassion for those wronged by the state is a Achilles heel of US civilization. It is going to cause a damage down further as people's respect for law erodes over time.

I think everyone would agree the leaker should be more cautious, but The Intercept should also know best practices too around printed materials too.
No Universities require students to do anything. On mandatory attendance, a good professor will tell you, "you're paying for it, I could care less if you show up."

But on retirement planning and car loans; these are failures of being aware of the world around you. On understanding a car loan, plenty of people that are not college educated need to and do "understand" these concepts.

Anecdotally, I bought two cars (though I didn't finance) before I turned 18; Enrolled in my first 401k by the time I was 18, and understood my work's entirely employee paid healthcare options at 16.

To the autodidact admission though; I learned about programming on my own on a TI-80; about finance from picking up a "Money" magazine - and posters on a teacher's wall from a different class doing an investment challenge, and cars from walking around the neighbor's garage.

Not having your crew do things they would perceive as morally reprehensible is a fantastic start. Aside from that, providing an environment where they can disclose and/or discuss their issues with you would also work well.

Any other measures of "putting a stop to it" will only make it worse.

"\t\r\n 16 \t\r\n" == "16" → false

AUT in NZ (as I said in another comment) seems to be one. Do you know of others to investigate? Within 2 years I should have at least 5 peer-reviewed papers published in open journals [PlosONE/PeerJ] (and probably 1-2 in closed, "elite" journals... something I'm opposed to but... business...), and I wouldn't mind looking into it.

You can tell my strategies are possibly effective because of all the sexist men in these comments who are apparently deeply concerned that I will never work for them, or perhaps that they might accidentally end up in an organization that isn't sexist. Le horror!

Note that these attempts to drive our discussions and opinions from Hacker's News and deprive us of the opportunity to express our preferences all help maintain discrimination and the economic power a limited workforce provides. Men are so scared that they might have to compete on a level playing field, or possibly even be held accountable for their actions, that they externalize that fear onto women trying to get by in an actively-hostile world.

Dear men who are offended when people acknowledge the reality of sexism: I guarantee you, I have spent more time thinking about this than you. I had to, a fact of which I am already resentful, thanks everso. Consider before you comment that I know what I'm talking about, and that way you've assumed I don't? It is a manifestation of the very problem we are discussing. Every time you express your uninformed opinions that start from the assumption that the world is fair, you are proving that you are unprepared to contribute to this discussion.

I don't want to work in an implicitly or explicitly sexist environment. You want to somehow get to participate in the patriarchal norms, not face any criticism for that, and then still somehow have me want to work with you. As The Man In Black says, get used to disappointment. Your desired outcome isn't one of the options.

Instead of attempting reassuring your existing cultural cognition (http://www.culturalcognition.net/), try listening to the generous gifts of experience the women and marginalized people have offered in response to the question that was asked. You might learn that there is more to the world than you had known. That will make you a better developer, as well as someone I might someday be willing to work with.

>Second, dating is not a game you can "win." One of my favorite professors ever, a statistics genius with possibly a touch of Aspergers, explained to our class one time how dating is like science. A "failed" experiment is knowledge gained about the world! A "failed" relationship is a chance to learn about yourself, others and relationships. The only way is to try.

I'd disagree with this. A failed experiment is valuable to the extent you're able to draw the correct conclusions from the failure, and there's not magical guarantee that people will be able to do so. I'd argue that many people, especially those who may use this service, don't really have the experience and context to place their failures into. I'd bet most would blame themselves for their failures and withdraw further into their own projections of what made them fail, such as their lack of money, good looks, etc.

>Third, this is creating an arms race of banter instead of allowing people to genuinely connect. There's a famous OK Cupid article demonstrating why being your most authentic self is actually beneficial to your dating life

I think this is the most pernicious dating advice I typically see. Besides the fact that people have many different facets of their 'self' and have no idea as to how to present their best attributes, it essentially tells people who are looking for reasons as to why they're failing "no, this is your fault". Much better advice would be to exercise, socialize more, take an acting or improv class, go to counseling - in short, don't just 'be' yourself, change who you are to become a better person.

Money, mostly.
Disclaimer: I run my own CRM company, so you can either view this comment as genuine praise/advice, or an attempt to subvert a competitor (but I promise it's the former).

First off, this looks awesome. I've heard people complain many times about how they just want a personal CRM for non-business purposes. On the one hand I love the idea because having such a specific use case allows you to make a very simple UI that does exactly what the user needs. On the other hand, I never personally chose to go after it because getting individual consumers to pay for stuff seems hard.

So I wish you the best of luck, and I hope you stick with it. The "Why Monica?" section of your website sounds like it was written specifically for me, and I'm definitely going to try it out because of that copy.

My main piece of advice: be skeptical of most product suggestions. As someone who has been building a simple CRM for the past ~8 years, I can tell you that everyone wants something different, and if you react to every suggestion you get, your product will end up losing the awesome focus it has right now. That doesn't mean you should ignore feedback, it just means you should make sure the feedback is coming from your actual target audience and not some random person who's looking for Monica to be something it isn't. I fell for that too many times in the early days.

I wouldn't change the way bash works because I'm already used to it. After a while, one gets used to it. It's like working in a hazardous environment, full of spinning blades and spikes coming out the wall at random intervals :)

But seriously, that's an accident waiting to happen. Like a less knowledgeable user trying to delete a file named *

And there are some really awful things you can do by abusing shell expansion. Like this example (WARNING: DON'T BLINDLY RUN THESE!).

Go to a directory with non-important files, and do:

touch ./-f

touch ./-r

rm *

Since there's a good chance that all of your files have sensible names (that is, they don't start with weird symbols), that will expand to:

rm -f -r [the rest of your files]

Oops. Kiss your files AND directories goodbye. That includes write protected files that would give rise to a warning if you tried to remove them. And in a cruel ironic twist, the files named '-r' and '-f' are preserved.

But the problem is actually made worse by the fact that most command line parsing libraries allow flags to be condensed into a single option (like -r -f can be condensed into -rf).

GNU utilities do this by default. This coupled with expanding * turns ANY file that starts with a leading - into a potential source of doom.

So, imagine that you have a file named '-truffle' in there somewhere. rm * expands to 'rm -truffle [your files]'. That is interpreted by rm as "rm -t -r -u -f -f -l -e [your files]" (note the presence of '-r' and '-f').

Gasp and horror!

However, your salvation is that rm halts if it encounters an unknown option (like -u). You can wipe your brow and sigh in relief, because you just dodged a bullet.

IIRC, the Unix haters handbook dedicates a whole chapter to these types of landmines, and the "funny" thing is that most of it still applies, about two decades after it was written.
Yes it certainly is. The Intercept should have taken such precautions, but it's not very smart to assume that they always will take those precautions. If you want to be safe as the leaker, you'll have to either do that sort of thing yourself or communicate with The Intercept to make sure they will. Point is that you cannot really control how much caution third parties will take with your documents.

But like I said, the government has every incentive to make us question The Intercept's competence in these matters even though there are many ways the government could have found the leakers. Leakers _should_ be worried about these sorts of things, but we as the general populace should realize that this is perfect opportunity to make The Intercept look bad and to deter future leaks.
Bollocks to this. Just show me the money!
Yeah, that is surprising given that keras is not a language, but a continuously changing python class. How bug complete is the conversion? What about some new features like attention? And what about the future changes in keras?
Just finished it a few weeks ago. One of the better things it does, I think, is show how so many of the people and innovations were intertwined. In truth, getting all of that co-mingling and cross pollination among so many talented individuals is probably one of the Labs' greatest innovations.
im not saying that proving the riemann conjecture doesnt do anything for mathematics. it does a whole lot.

but the world itself isnt going to change. i mean the 5 pm news world.

heres the thing. we already kind of assume the riemann conjecture to be true. you can do a lot of things with it. its not PROVEN, and mathematicians will tell you that its not proven, but if it was such a big massive RSA attacks deal, hackers would just "assume" its proven and then calculate those primes. they would very quickly figure out whether the conjecture holds or not, in a practical sense.

i think what you misunderstand is that the riemann conjecture already exists. you can already use the result of the conjecture. the missing link is the proof. but you dont need the proof to apply the result. you can just apply it. maybe some mathematician comes along and disproves it. but the result is very accessible.

so the result cant be what would enable you to perform polynomial time attacks. it must be the proof. but since you dont know what the proof would look like (because it doesnt exist), it cant be in the proof. therefore, i kinda doubt what youre saying.

a conjecture is just a statement by a smart person that lacks the proof. from a mathematical point of view, its not a result. but for everyone else, including serious physicists, conjectures can be used as is to make progress. if the riemann conjecture allowed for primes to be calculated so fast that modern cryptography would suffer, then that would already be happening.

but thats just a tangent. my initial point was that the riemann conjecture isnt going to say anything about the world that a journalist will find interesting enough to construct something reportable out of.
