Are you angry for a reason or just generally frustrated? (dissatisfaction with work, coworkers, etc.)

If you wrote it all down, do you think it would make logical sense?

Sometimes I'm just over emotional. Sometimes the place I'm working isn't a good fit. If it's not a good fit, I also find that my emotions get out of control as well.

If things are building, figure out what is building them and try to change that. Little things can make someone crazy for a few days, but if it's every day, it might be depression or burnout. If your stress never goes away and just keeps building on itself, it's likely depression or burnout.

Talking to a professional might help, very least it feels like you are taking action to make it better. They might be able to help you frame and understand what is bothering you.
> A conspiracy theory typically involves a pretty large group of people doing something big to deceive a massive group of people.

Two people are enough to conspire. And to claim (as you did, if I understand correctly) that you need a "large group of people" to hire an assassin to take out one person is irrational, and I believe contradicts a lot of well documented court cases involving organized crime.

> Has anything like this ever happened in all of history? The whole snowden thing is the best example I can think of but I don't remember actually being surprised when that came out.

I wasn't surprised either; but I do remember tens of people I interact with changing, practically overnight, from telling me "you are paranoid, they only listen to bad guys" to "of course, we've always known that". Most people remember always being on the right side of history, even when they demonstrably weren't.

It has happened countless times. The Enigma code breaking story involved tens, perhaps hundreds, deceiving hundreds of millions, for over 30 years; When the secret did get out (officially; no leaks involved), it was a huge surprise.

Also, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentagon_Papers

There are tens of others if you care (I don't have time to list), but ... do you really believe that whatever Snowden informed the world of ONLY started with the things documented in his leaks, and that it ONLY concerned the NSA? That would be the irrational position. (Stated another way: the snowden leak might be unprecedented in depth and breath. But the operations it exposes aren't)

Just like the sibling post, I had the same thing happen on cheap NE2K nics. Imagine my surprise when pinging one machine and getting two replies back!

I've found that most of the queries that journalists are trying to run are pretty basic, mostly filtering and histograms. Setting up a virtualenv, dependencies, etc can be tough. And RTFM isn't sufficient for someone getting started. I was surprised that nothing existed for this, so I built it.

It has the basics of a Jupyter notebook - filter, sum, average, plot. So far it's attracted a pretty interesting audience including journalists, but also lawyers and consultants.

But pandas’ magical simplicity makes things like computed columns immediately intuitive:
> data['% of total'] = data.amount / data.amount.sum()

Is that immediately intuitive? I'm staring at this trying to understand what it's doing. Is the / operator overloaded? data.amount is one particular amount, and data.amount.sum() is the sum of all amounts? Why does the "computed column" property goes on the same data object as the actual data? Maybe it's immediately intuitive if you've used pandas.
The machine doesn't matter. It's the machine that matters.
No, I was talking about the individuals working for the NSA, for which my statement is not confused at all.

And I took "they" in the GP post to mean "the people who work for the NSA" although it possibly refers to the NSA itself - in which case, it is also true of any large corporation -- composed of thousands of people with their own agenda, no morals and very little to check what's going on in many respects -- see, e.g. pharma pricing.

I feel uncomfortable about what we were doing in general. I didn't feel bad about the implementation. We were using the results of the web scraper to feed what was basically spam emails trying to recruit people to sign up for our product.

In the grand scheme of things, I think that I did the most responsible thing I could have with the task I was assigned. But the task falls into a general category of things I don't approve of.

It certainly wasn't illegal, and it probably wasn't unethical, but it was definitely gross, and my internal standards tell me to avoid things that make me feel gross.

That said, I'm kind of pleased with the technical results. Up until that time in my career, I'd never encountered a sorting algorithm that handled things based on the proportion of similar items in an array. I'm sure that other people have done this and that there's no way it's novel at all. But it was a cool challenge to make a shady task perform in a way that didn't break other people's shit just so that we could maximize our own efficiency.

Facebook’s shameless copying of Snapchat and what it means for your product
I have known a number of people, including my ex, who needed some time to successfully make the transition without bringing baggage home. When my ex was having a bad day at work, he would come home and spend about an hour on his computer before he could talk with me without it going weird places. I have had conversations with people who talked about "Yeah, this is the real reason I stop at my favorite pub on the way home. Not for the beer per se, but so I have some time to myself between work and home."

You might also try working on this nutritionally. I have recently had good results with upping my consumption of vitamin C to get excess anger under control.

It would be interesting to compare the utility of one large $100 million+ grant to an institution like MIT, Yale or Harvard that is already well-endowed, compared to a hundred different million dollar grants to institutions across the USA or the world, where the money might arguably be more effectively used or sorely needed.

The counterpoint would be that the money could support fundamental research that eventually results in a much larger payoff to the world at large, but I'm not convinced that this outweighs the benefits of funding hundreds, or even thousands of students/scientists in less prominent schools who might go on to make such discoveries themselves.

Of course, all this assumes that donor's primary aim is to make the largest possible impact, when in all likelihood it's motivated more by an affinity for the school, or in the case of other donors, prestige from having their name on the walls.
A useful feature for me would be to tag people in photos. That's how I cue my memory when I forget someone. The photos also have the time and location, so I can place it on my calendar.
Uber Executive Fired After Sharing Rape Victim’s Medical Record
Anywhere. I doubt the backbone is going to get saturated, and we can ignore what happens on my specific link because that's my business (although given how someone can get fined for not being licensed to do a certain job even if I explicitly accept the risks of them not being licensed, I'm not hopeful Net Neutrality will never get used to prevent ISPs from offering me more individualized service). But let's say the links from my local infrastructure to larger backbones is getting saturated by everyone in my town using P2P software (most likely for illegal purposes). I'd like my VoIP system to keep functioning reasonably well. And it seems like the P2P users are propped up as the victims in this discussion. All-traffic created equally sounds great, but all traffic is not equal. And I don't like the idea of my ISP making that call, and I don't have a lot of options of ISP, but I don't feel like the government saying the ISP is never allowed to make that call is really solving any of my problems, and I'm not convinced it's not going to cause other issues. I kinda support it but I just can't see why everyone is so solid about it when there are tons of other caveats in the situation not addressed by the FCC.

Will likely be going to bed before HN lets me reply again...
> Meditation/music can only help when you are not at the edge point.

I don't think music will be particularly helpful, but meditation, specifically mindfulness meditation, will be most effective when you are at the edge. Try practicing for 10 minutes a day, and then when you are on the edge try your best to really feel the stress and experience it. Your goal is to build your tolerance to it, which you can only do by not running from it. It's just like working out: you need to practice and you'll get stronger. The 10 minutes a day of practice when you're not on the edge will help you build up to being able to be truly present when you are on the edge.

As far as one can tell, social animals show something equivalent to morals in every experiment we can devise -- and in the vast majority of cases, it is not a learned trait (elephants being the best known counterexample in that their cultural norms and morals are indeed learned).

We can't really experiment with humans, but the few experiments that have cleared ethical committees, it appears that babies as young as 6 months have a sense of equality and justice, see e.g. [0]

By that logic, most of the under 20's in Australia are all alcoholics. But only on Saturday nights.
When I'm really angry, just a workout won't do the trick. I have to work out to the point of sheer exhaustion to release all that negative energy.

Having an enjoyable commute helps me a lot. A long walk or pleasant bus ride (with optional music) is time to process emotions and to create a mental break between work and home.

Meditation can also help -- not as a solution at the moment when you're angry, but as a habit that can improve your mindfulness and ability to deal with your own emotions.

My last resort is distraction - reading a book or watching a movie or TV show I know will be engrossing. An hour or two later, the frustration has usually dissipated.

That said, if you're experiencing rage that you can't control, or are on the edge of "snapping" - whether into rage or depression or whatever - I agree with the previous poster who suggested you seek mental health services.

A good therapist can help you come up with better outlets and coping mechanisms, or help you identify what in your life you need to change to avoid circumstances that trigger such frustration. It may take a few tries to find someone who works well with you, so don't get discouraged if the first person you try isn't a good fit.
Oh I can see it - I just don't agree with you or those that would sag that they should not be able to photograph such things...

Even in 2007 the system csrng should be able to generate many millions of uuids/sec on one core. (Say, 10M/sec easily?) At that point isn't it just a matter of keeping a timestamp updated and swizzling it in?

How many millions/sec did they need?
I feel like the lack of a decent framework for defining alcoholism is really at play here though.

For example, I drink 5-7 drinks a week on average. Every now and then, I have a bad reaction to some alcohol. I haven't completely identified it, but IPAs seem to trigger it the worst, and drinking while already sleep-deprived, which I am more often than I'd like to be, also is more likely to result in a bad reaction. The bad reaction typically manifests most notably as an extreme flushing in my face (probably rosacea - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosacea), and sometimes flatulence or stomach discomfort.

So "large amounts over a long time period" is pretty vague, but I'd wager the 365 drinks that I might have over the course of a year could satisfy that description.

So is it fair to say that I'm an alcoholic due to those criteria? I think most people would agree that I'm not, but based on the medical definition alone it wouldn't be far-fetched to label me one.

I led the team for WildFire (the most widely used commercial sandbox and, I believe, the first one in the cloud) at Palo Alto Networks. If anyone from FireEye or Lastline is around, maybe they'll chime in as well.

The design of the analysis system itself determines your deployment constraints. For example, will you give the malware an open line to the Internet? If not, you'll miss out on most of its activity[1], but won't be limited in terms of hosting. If, on the other hand, you give the malware free reign, AWS wants no part of that (we tried it).

1. See the (speculated) anti-analysis kill switch in WannaCry. This sort of thing is common. But more fundamentally, malware also tends to work in stages, and often won't do much if it can't phone home.

If you have a terrible job, no amount of therapy, exercising, and drinking will help you here.

You need to find a new job, plain and simple.

If it's your 10th job and you are feeling like this still, you have to figure out if it is bad luck (it does happen) or if it's something with you. Either way, it is sort of you, since you managed to keep finding and stepping into jobs you are unhappy at. Certainly, a hint or two during the interviewing stage was overlooked.

As someone already pointed out, I think advances in auto-pilot will help a lot with congestion as vehicles begin communicating with other nearby vehicles and traffic lights.

One thing you don't hear discussed much though is the reduction of noise that I assume will become quite noticeable once most vehicles are electric. Living close to a busy road or highway should become a lot more bearable.
Compatibility with what though? What's an example of a real world system that takes UUIDs and uses the standard to do stuff with the fields? Does any popular software treat them as anything beyond a 128bit number? Genuinely curious what people are giving up 6 bits for.

Surface Hub, by Microsoft
One thing I noticed was when I had a longer commute (maybe 20-30 minutes), I felt like there was more of a disconnect between home and work (the drive, the 520 bridge specifically). Then I felt like I was wasting too much time, so I moved closer to work. I really did feel like I took more of it home just because I was closer to home.

Sometimes it does just take some time to decompress, no matter what you're spending that time doing.
You might want to check out Stoicism, the philosophy, which has a lot to say about emotions. How to Be a Stoic: Using Ancient Philosophy to Live a Modern Life by Massimo Pigliucci is a pretty good intro. You can also try diving right into original sources like the Meditations of Marcus Aurelius, or the Enchiridion by Epictetus, or something by Seneca. There are many translations for all of these.
To be honest, if I was in a position to make that decision, I'd be highly tempted to use the bombs just to see what would happen.

I've alway been interested in this problem. I feel like information theory, Bayesian analysis including Markov chain monte carlo could give you some insight into the distribution of truth values for a satisfiable configuration especially around the phase transition. You can covert 3-SAT into a Bayesian network but exact inference is still NP complete.
There should be some higher order information in a graph of the k-SAT problem... But many of the algorithms here are still NPC (e.g. finding a clique).. So then you discover tree width (tree decomposition) as an approximation (also in Bayesian networks) and find out that it is quite useful but still doesn't quite help. It makes faster SAT solvers but we haven't found anything invariant yet.

Anyway I still enjoy thinking about the problem, my random ideas have taken on more structure based on diving into the different subjects and trying to use them on this problem. I find it fascinating that you can take something simple like these linear circuits and it turns out that they are not simple at all and that they scale through the different disciplines.
Can anyone afford those F35's?
I suggest doing something between work and home that you enjoy and that can fully distract you from work. Some hobbies are like this... an hour doing it and you will pretty much forget your work "self". Don't feel the need for it to be productive or purposeful.

I think much of the bad stress we get in jobs comes from our deeper understanding that the work is pretty pointless or simply unimportant to us. The idea of that (pointless) thing being who we are for most of our waking life is maddening.

Also, few of us are in high status positions at work (simply because of the typical hierarchical structure) even if the job or company is prestigious. Being in a low status role creates significant fatigue, stress, and anxiety, and is often the hardest to shake off at the end of the day when we are around true equals such as friends or loved ones.

So the best thing to do is to find work that feels more like play. But if you can't manage to do that, at least force yourself to play a bit after work to take the edge off. I recommend against making it about food or drink, since indulging provides a psychological salve that mutes the stress but does not truly evict it from your consciousness the way play does.
Can you work on whatever stresses you out at work?

If not, find a job that doesn't stress you out?

The Wikipedia description is as good as any:

> [Birds] are ... characterised by feathers, toothless beaked jaws, the laying of hard-shelled eggs, a high metabolic rate, a four-chambered heart, and a strong yet lightweight skeleton.

Notice that when you put all of those traits together, you get the ability to lead a lifestyle centered around long-range migratory flight.

One or a few species evolved this particular set of traits, which gave them the ability to forage incredibly long ranges in search of food, in a landscape that was—at the scales other dinosaurs could travel—increasingly inhospitable to life. This small set of species then took over the habitats of every other dinosaur species as they died out, and then speciated into all modern birds. It was a sort of evolutionary bottleneck point.

In other words, "birds" are essentially defined as the set of theropod species that survived the K-T extinction. Birds happen to all have many unique traits in common, because these traits were adaptive through the rapid change of environment that killed off the other dinosaurs.

Anyone who has been in IT should have seen the story play out at least once in their career: some legacy system that's been hobbled together to keep running for so long because it worked... but now that a decade or more has passed there's finally some catalyst that says you _must_ upgrade. The problem being that now the upgrade is rip-and-replace rather than micro updates over time. That's what's happening here, on many systems at once.
