Hundreds sounds like a massive overestimation to me. You're saying that every single day there are hundreds of comparable building fires around the world. If we conservatively take "hundreds" to be 200, that would be 200*365 every year. That's 73000 every year!

If a woman says you touched her in the train, the police can detain you as long as 10 days even if you did not do anything, and they will try as hell to make you admit you did it, and in any case your life is ruined since you will lose your job in the process. Hardly a good system to protect innocents from being convicted.

Unlike Snapchat though people pay for Slack. Not sure how people pay Snapchat directly in comparison. A fun plot twist would be if Snap bought out Slack and became a communications company of sorts.

I did something like this some time ago, to send reports securely to people who'd never heard of PGP.

What I like about my implementation is that it has a tamper proof clear text message included with the encrypted payload. And everything (images and JS) is inline, so nothing external needed.

Again, please back off from the personal insults.

"Arduinos are shit because the people who use them aren't real programmers" is the core of the argument there. Similarly, "PCs are shit because the people who use them aren't real programmers" is a poor argument. And we frequently see "Web applications are shit because the people who write them aren't real programmers", which is an equally poor response.

There are no rules about what constitutes a 'real' programmer and a 'not real' programmer. Complaining that inexperienced people are entering a field because the barrier to entry has been lowered is stupid. Instead, we should be focussing on solving and problems that introduces: things like security, safety and scalability need to be made easier.

Opening the field up is always a good thing.
I'm sorry, but this is an interview. It's entire point of existence is to allow communication.

If the candidate would like some quiet time to think about the solution, I expect them to respond with "I think I'm forming a solution, just give me a couple of minutes to think about it before I present my case".

If they can't even do that, then I'm sorry, but they are no good to anyone. You can be the smartest and best developer in the world, but if you're completely incapable of representing yourself and your ideas; to have a dialog about your work, you are effectively worthless as an employee.

Some companies might have a place for that special someone, who you can lock in a room for a month and he will later emerge with an amazing new piece of code that will solve your problems, shielded from all the problems of the outside world, but companies where that is possible are very rare.

Ah, thanks, just saw your edit.
Yes, but requiring socially undesirable accounts to be compartmentalized and spun-off may allow democracies to start removing the currently blatant conflicts of interest surrounding procurement and lobbying.

A longer term solution would most likely require imposing a scaling import tariff on non-democratic countries in proportion to their level of human rights abuses. This would establish a rule where their ability to acquire democratic foreign currencies redeemable for weapon systems automatically decreases on the margin if they they pursue authoritarian policies, and automatically increases on the margin if they pursue reforms.

AUTOMATED TRADING SYSTEM
Hello, guys! This is my first post, I hope that you will be nice to me!

I have built a platform that makes automated trading and arbitrage between different exchanges like Poloniex, Bittrex and Gdax.

Before launching it I would collect some feedbacks from you, experienced altcoins holders.

The main features of the applications are:

- Does not hold your funds (you just need to provide your API, Secret, and passphrase from your accounts with exchanges)
- Users are able to teach to the automated trading systems about his/her own preferences like Risk assumed and Minimum profits expected by the trades
- Users can copy other traders in their strategies anonymously (so no risk of acts of revenge between traders Cheesy )
- Users can gather all of their exchanges in only one solution

Also, would you give me some suggestions on the Exchanges you would like to gather from the very beginning? A the moment we are connected with Bittrex, Gdax, and Poloniex... We aim to add other 7 exchanges before the endo of September 2017.

Thanks a lot guys!!

It is. They probably hoped for much more but sanctions by nearly all states in the world mean that North Korea desperately needs FX reserves. For a state where very few people have access to material that US$ can buy, a few hundred k$ can be a lot of money.
America has some of the worst worker protection laws and regulations in the developed world: occupational health and safety; minimum wage; paid time off (vacation, illness, parental leave); lunch and other breaks; consecutive hours worked in a day; 'at-will' termination; and so on.

Paul Watzlawick in his "Pragmatics of Human Communications" explains that (at least so far) animals seem unable to meta-communicate (in the sense of communicating about communication).

If I remember correctly (it has been decades) he mentions as an example that cats are perfectly capable to communicate "I want food", using a combination of vocal and "gestures".

What they cannot do is communicate something like "Listen, I have used the meow for gimme food 9 times already, what are you? deaf? stupid? or just trying to punish me for when I threw up on the carpet?"
Thanks. I'll take a look.

instinctively? Citation needed. If anything, humans are wired to interact in small and non-hierarchical groups.
Interesting story. Kind of reminds me of how some U.S. companies locate their customer call centers to places like Portland, Oregon and Tennessee because the people there have a reputation for being friendly on the phone and more able to remotely resolve problems.

I mentioned in some other topics, but Japan has a pretty good protection systems like most European countries on paper. The difference lies in what a law can't easily catch. They can put an enormous amount of informal obstacles to a so-called "bad" employee, from subtle changes of seating to relegating to a humiliating position. Each of them is annoying by itself, but they're smart enough to make sure that none of them are significant enough for litigation. Then there can be a group bullying. Because every other employee is equally afraid of the company, they can collectively act like an orchestrated attack even when there's no explicit order. Japanese team work at its finest.
FWIW, not all bug bounty programs are about security.

If you have 1 year of living expenses, you could probably make that last 3-5 years in Thailand. I really enjoy living in Chiang Mai. My wife and I have just started a 1 year ED visa for hand to hand combat [1], and the first few lessons have been very good. The lessons are 2 hours, and it's twice a week. Start with a few 60 day tourist visas first, and you can extend those to 90 days. I've enjoyed exploring Southeast Asia over the last few years.

If you want to get unstuck and do something, then I would recommend picking up a new technology and building something fun. Maybe mobile development with React Native. Just get a few little things on the app stores and see where it leads you. I've just spent the last 3 or 4 months learning React Native while developing a little game, and this one idea has branched out into lots of different app ideas, even startup ideas and SaaS services. Diving in and building something (anything) is a great way to find new problems to solve. Living somewhere with a low cost of living gives you a lot of room to breathe and find your next ideas.

If you're reporting on something and you feel the need "to make a persuasive argument", you've already crossed the line between journalism and manipulation/propaganda.

A writer either report the facts and lets the audience arrive at their conclusions, or pushes his agenda in an attempt to stop the audience to arrive at their own conclusions.
So in essence the product's growth will depend on how well I built it, how much marketing I put into it and lastly how many more people will want this in the future? Nothing new there.

Photographer Shoots Formula 1 with 104-Year-Old Camera, and Here’s the Result
My point above was subtle but important: the asterisk you're mentioning here is not specific to Sync. This is true of all safety guarantees in Rust. unsafe code must uphold the invariants that safe code will rely on, otherwise it's buggy. For example, if the implementation of `Vec<T>` accidentally got its internal `length` out-of-sync with the data on the heap, then nothing bad in and of itself necessarily happens immediately. The bad thing only happens the next time you try to do something with the `Vec<T>`, which will be in safe code.

The safety of things in Rust is built on abstraction. If abstraction gets something wrong in its `unsafe` details, then there is a bug there. In other words, the asterisk you're mentioning is "You can trust that safe Rust is free of memory safety, unless there are bugs." I feel like that's discussed and acknowledged quite a bit.

> Unsafe code is usually discussed in light of raw pointers and more generally raw memory ops, but I rarely see this aspect mentioned.

I guess I don't see a difference. The safeness of Rust code depends on the correct use of `unsafe`, and this applies to everything, not just Sync.

This idea of `unsafe` being "trusted code" is one of the first things that the Rustonomicon covers: https://doc.rust-lang.org/nomicon/safe-unsafe-meaning.html
I don't think what happens in open source software is accurately described as "communism" in any sense of that word. Especially considering that OSS in practice is a scheme for corporations (including those in direct competition with each other) to pool resources and share their research and development costs.
One other thing worth mentioning is that gaming companies work famously punishing hours, Japanese companies work famously punishing hours, so unsurprisingly Japanese gaming companies work really punishing hours... and Konami is infamous even by those standards!

I think one of the big issues with Rust is that it isn't as portable as C.

Bootstrapping Rust is hard, doing the same for C is simple. I could create a simple C compiler just to bootstrap the real C compiler, something I have actually done once or twice before. That's not something you do with Rust, at least from the limited experience I have with Rust.
Travel Awards – Tavisca's 9th Year Celebrations
I wonder where hacking becomes an act of war vs a mere annoyance. Where is the red line? Shutting down a power plant? Shutting down hospitals? Disrupting a nuclear weapon factory? Any of these, if done with conventional weapons, would clearly constitute an act of war. But it seems that no one seems ready to take any action even when the aggressor is clearly identified.

One could argue: great, it means less wars, let's not overreact over a few bits flipped in a machine. I'd argue the contrary. If countries do not respond militarily to hacking aggressions, it will only make them escalate with increasingly serious consequences (disrupting hospitals to me is already a pretty severe consequence). There needs to be some form of accountability.
Unions are just another source of abuse for workers. Their leaders often make much more than those they represent. You have to pay the dues, even when you know the union is going to waste the money on this type of largess, as well as on politicians you don't agree with and who you know aren't going to help you anyway. Got talent? It doesn't matter. In union jobs, it's the politically connected and those who have been in the union the longest that will get the job.
TL'DR:

- this swedish government study analyses CO2 emissions from battery pack production

- for a Tesla S3, the emissions at purchase are 17.5 tonnes of CO2

- That means 8.2 years of driving to just break even with an equivalent petrol car [0]

- for the smaller battery Nissan Leaf, it is 5.2 tonnes of CO2 and 2.7 yrs of driving to break even

- vast advances in battery production are needed to have climate impact w/ electric vehicles.

- Or battery production close to abundant clean energy sources.

None of this is particularly new information. I mean he mentions that bill at the top but no real discussion about it's contents.

I wish the ex employees of Konami luck. This blacklist behavior will only help in further developing the independent game scene in Japan. We've seen great games in the past from Japan such as Cave Story, La Mulana, Downwell, and also Kickstarter-ish campaigns for spiritual sequels to classic genres. Kojima's name itself carries a ton of industry weight and I'm sure he and his team won't find trouble finding funds and talent for their endeavors as hinted by teasers of his new IP.

It's unfortunate that a slew of IPs will go down with Konami, but they haven't been looking great in awhile and this is just a conclusion of the signs in the past. Silent Hill, Metal Gear, Suikoden, ZoE, even those weird late 90s PS1 games like Broken Helix will always be remembered by me.

I was going to suggest Chiang Mai after reading the OP then scrolled down and saw it's the top comment.

I just spent 4 months traveling around Asia with 1 month in Chiang Mai. It's an incredible city and incredible in ways you wouldn't expect. For one, it's actually very developed (second biggest city in Thailand) with many big modern malls. Also, the cellular infrastructure is great and you can get a SIM card for really cheap that also gives you access to "SuperWifi" which is like 150Mbps at Maya mall. There are also a bunch of cool coworking spaces and cafes to work from with other people working remotely on interesting projects. The food is great and varied.

Plus, you can book a hotel for your first 2/3 nights and then walk around and look at all the condos. We looked at 10 different apartments - could have moved into any one of them on the spot with 1 month's deposit. Ended up staying in one with a pool, gym, sauna, king sized bed, good wifi - 2 minutes from Maya mall - all for like $600 per month.

Also the temples are remarkable and the people are super friendly. Highly recommended to reset and get a fresh perspective! Also, Penang in Malaysia is nearby and also really worth checking out :)
>one government stood up for user privacy

...user privacy against US companies. Also, obtaining an English version is non-trivial.
Just to encourage you, and everyone else who feels this way sometimes, including myself, is the following. It's also true.

Sometimes the best performers start out as the ones who naturally are weak at the skill.

Take swimmers. How many top medalists came up from being kids with bad asthma?

So you do have some amount of control over your performance long term. Some amount of that is determined by the reaction you choose to hardship.

Another divergent point is, sometimes top performers don't get recognition in all arenas... So if an interview fails you, by all means see it as an opportunity to improve yourself ( one of many such opportunities, for sure ), but don't go imagining interviews are perfect.

Thanks!
