Interesting how this psychology paper showed up in the context of "making a friend." I had only known of this study as a way of creating romantic relationship, through a NYT Modern Love piece "To Fall in Love With Anyone, Do this."

The method is hardly fast though - it requires two people to set aside a good chunk of time in a quiet setting to fully experience the gradual escalation of self-disclosure. When trying out this method in real life, what about the fact that you chose that one person to try this with? The reasons behind that choice would contribute much a successful result of this method but still left unexplained.

I continue to feel as though the primary reason I would subscribe to Cable Television would be sporting events. This remains the main televised event where I can see the value in following along in realtime, and for which the advertising is already inescapable, making it feel like less of a slap in the face that I'm being advertised to in addition to also paying for the rights to view the content stream.

Fortunately, I don't actually care about sports broadcasting, so I ditched cable years ago and haven't looked back. (The other realtime argument I hear frequently is news, but I find a wide variety of online sources to be better at delivering this content anyway. I prefer to read my news.)
Oh, I should have mentioned also, it's Quicklisp-loadable. Really, these days, whenever you're looking for the code for some library, Quicklisp is the first thing you should try.

Insubordinate. And churlish.
You're right that a more accurate term in this context would have been "financially successful disruptors and entrepreneurs". $1M technically qualifies you to be a "millionaire," even though you can get there by simply making your mortgage payments for 30 years. However, the title makes sense for YouTube, as most of the population views generally defines "millionaires" as self-made people with many millions of dollars - not just those with $1M tied up in a house or other assets earned over a long period of time.

Let's consider a different problem.
There are 100 non-negative numbers summing up to 10000.
Let's choose a random combination of numbers satisfying this condition. Intuitively, it's quite clear that typical case will be very different from equilibrium (where every number=100). I fail to see how the transfer of 1 dollar at a time is qualitatively different. So the result is quite intuitive - contrary to what the article suggests.
The numbers around domestic violence are staggering:

It's also a notorious blind spot for law enforcement – even when restraining orders are issued, they're nearly unenforceable, and once the aggressor is in your house you're a sitting duck.

Ambient audio-UI devices could be the biggest technological break ever in monitoring for the presence and emotional state of the subject of a restraining order. It's not obvious like a security camera or alarm system, and opt-in to a monitoring app would be invisible.
I may add synonyms for those classes, so, it is just a matter of adding:

etc.

you wouldnt use these structures in python code, you use them to build your regex then compile it and use the regex in your programs. It is possible to add some type safety and messages to help debugging which would be better than with natural regex syntax.
> The method is hardly fast though

A common misconception. The root of the phrase "fast friends" is actually steadfast friends. Meaning friends with a strong bond and sense of duty towards each other.

I too had only heard of this study in terms of the romantic partner thing... I guess it makes sense to apply to any friendship.

Edit: The above is all lies! Well, except the meaning. The phoney etymology is lies. See below.

Sporting events can also typically be watched at your local neighborhood bar, potentially negating the need to subscribe to cable.
I'm frustrated by governments using PDF for full in forms and yet open source tools are very weak in this area.

You are talking nonsense. The "right to free speech" in the United States has developed over hundreds of years of jurisprudence. It is impossible to summarize here but for starters involves not only Congress but also states (Gitlow v NY) and even private parties (Snyder v. Phelps). I don't mean to suggest it is arbitrarily broad but it is certainly much broader than to say it is "only" the text of the first amendment.

Secondly, "intimidation" carries a very specific legal meaning, for example here's the Montana statute [0]:

(1) A person commits the offense of intimidation when, with the purpose to cause another to perform or to omit the performance of any act, the person communicates to another, under circumstances that reasonably tend to produce a fear that it will be carried out, a threat to perform without lawful authority any of the following acts:

(a) inflict physical harm on the person threatened or any other person;
(b) subject any person to physical confinement or restraint; or
(c) commit any felony.

Unless GRSecurity is threatening to break your legs, kidnap you, or rob your store, they are not intimidating you.

What we are talking about is refusing to do business with you, which is very legal. There are some exceptions, such as if the basis for that refusal is due to your race/sex, or if GRSecurity is a cartel, or if they are refusing in order to obstruct an investigation into some other illegal activity, but I'm not aware of those kinds of facts here.

You start liberally. When an experience becomes dumb, you abort. TL; DR you meet fun people and make some friends.
Absolutely agree with keeping the diet simple. People like to focus on measuring macros and get hyper focused on hitting someone's idea of perfect balance that won't make the slightest difference unless you're a high level athlete. The obvious, simple changes are going to make a huge difference for the average person.
The irony here is the "resource" being created by processing cycles is not rare. This is evident by the 800+ variations of cryptocoins. Often times, designers have chosen to 'premine' large sums of coins which are sold off directly for a set price, which then is arbitrary raised because people falsely believe these things are rare.

It's a ponzi scheme in a loose sense, as early adopters produced and acquired large sums of arbitrary numbers written to a database and by design, as time passes later users running the same software on an equally powerful machine are "rewarded" with smaller numbers written to the database.

The entire service, and minting/production of database token/coins are reproducible simply by forking or running a new genesis block with the same protocol.

Denying the inherent ponzi scheme payouts designed into the early cryptocoin protocols is neglect or delusional at best, and at worst, purely deceptive.

Why do you assume that VCs don't know this rather than assume that the market creates forces which make them not care?

I'd guess there is more money floating around than there are startups which meet all the metrics. Thus there's investment in riskier ventures (remember it doesn't matter if any startup succeeds as long as the fund comes out on top as a whole). Moreover startups which do have all these metrics may have many competing VCs which in turn lowers the return for the VC.
What I like about climbing, despite never having done it,

- blends power and subtlety
- blends static and dynamic
- involves almost all limb chains

The added "route planning" effort also forces your brain into deep focus. A climber said for him every second is an hour.

And on actual rock, having to judge a grabbing surface on the fly is beautiful to me, like playing violin.

Not sure if I made that comment already on HN. But I was watching a documentary on some amazonian hunter-gatherer tribe.

All the men from teens to elders looked like gym models. It never struck me until I was in my 30's - but really I have the body of a sick individual and the guy on the gym adverts is actually what the human body looks by design, not some sort of aspirational dream.
That's a big part of the implication of this post, I think.

Grsecurity heavily markets itself to the multi-tenant hosting industry. Thus, your scenario is a big part of their customer base. So, if these allegations are true, then not only is grsecurity violating the GPL, they're demanding their customers violate the GPL, too.
Question: given two distributions X_1 and X_2 with mean μ_1 and μ_2, standard deviations σ_1 and σ_2, and correlation r, what is the average value of X_1 among data points for which X_2 exceeds (μ_2 + 2σ_2)?

You would only expect millionaires to have very high GPAs if being a millionaire didn't require anything else.

> Your first quote covers trademarks. That is unrelated to source code.

Source code contains trademarks, that is why CentOS has to remove them. If you distribute the source code you get from the RHEL subscription area you have violated your RHEL agreement.

You are not in violation of the GPL, but that is precisely my point: everybody does this, and nobody (except OP) believes it is a GPL violation.
Seq stands for a-z or 0-9 which can be used only in Include and Exclude. When you write Include(Seq('a', 'm')) it means you are including a character from that sequence in a given position of your pattern. So if you have

Pattern(Include(Seq('a', 'm')), 'c')

That is sort of building the following set of strings.

ac
bc
cc
.
.
.

When you use Exclude, it would be like you are picking a char that is not belonging to the sequence, like in:

Pattern(Exclude(Seq('0, 9')), c)

then you would end up with a set like:

ac
bc
cc
.
.
.

It means, a set whose first character of the elements arent digits.

Pay to win mobile games are designed to be addictive and upsell you to continue playing.

At least in a casino you have a chance of winning money.

The most terrifying thing is that with tech, the data harvesting is immediate and far reaching - people's entire jobs in UX are basically to make games more engaging (aka addictive).

Currently the addictiveness of tech is evolving faster than human wisdom and regulation can keep up so while hyperbolic, there is some sense to the doomsaying.
I think there's something to that. Most of my adult friendships with people that started in a professional setting were with people who I worked with on very stressful projects.

Lots of hours together, working very closely, gallows humor, and revealing personal details. There are about five or six people from a particularly stressful project that I talk to on no less than monthly basis, very personally catching up, and we're across 4 states and 5 cities.
They had an inherently flawed model in an industry that has a high barrier to entry and requires significant cash resources.

Just take a look at Carvana's most recent earnings, they lost something like 40M in the first quarter on revenue of $160M. They're still spending a ton of money to compete.

Beepi had a flawed model, and ran out of money.

I find it hard to be sad for them as this is what is supposed to happen when you don't have a sustainable business model.
Examples of good timing that I have seen in startups:

- Rise of a new use case (e.g. Checkr doing background checks for fast-growing on-demand companies like Uber and Instacart).

- Legal/regulatory change (e.g. a key patent is about to expire, or a new govt regulation is about to impose more requirements on an industry).

- Technology is finally adequate for doing something useful (e.g. VHS cassettes were replaced by DVDs, which were much cheaper for a company like Netflix to mail. Or maybe some sensor is finally miniaturized enough to be embedded into a constrained space for a good use case).

There's still a lot of luck, but many smart founders think hard about the "why now?" question. If the answer is "this couldn't be done until the last year or two because X, Y, and Z" then that's promising; if the answer is "no one has thought of this before" or "many people have tried this but failed," then that's often a sign of danger.
> How folks realized the need to do that in one place, but not the other, no-one could adequately explain to me

I have seen this pattern before in job queueing code that used a RDBMS backend, and it was due to a conflation in the developer's understanding of database semantics, between an open transaction and a lock. Essentially the long-running transaction was being abused in the hope of achieving exactly-once semantics.

Facepalm, I know; one could list many failure modes resulting from such a naive approach, but that was the rationale nevertheless. As you said in another remark, these are teachable moments.
I'm a millionaire with a 2.8 GPA through college. For me, I was fine trying hard at things I was good at and didn't spend much time on things that were hard. To get a good GPA, you either have to be great at everything or willing to work hard at everything. To start a successful business, you need to work hard at the small amount of things you're good at. And a little luck along the way helps too. I've always thought it would be nice if school's worked similar to businesses in that you could get a far more concentrated education if you wanted. Or, your grades could be the average of your top 5 classes.
Here's hoping you're young, and find the motivation to start testing the mental barrier that keeps you in this unhealthy state.
No, you also have a right to free speech against private actors (in certain circumstances). For one example, see Snyder v. Phelps.
It works really well in Germany as well, if you do it right. Also Germans are human, after all.

I'm not interested in re-litigating the trademark discussion here. It's not relevant to the grsecurity conversation, and it's been settled for a decade or so. Trademark law is separate from copyright law and really has no place in a copyright discussion.

Red Hat places branding in their own packages, generally, which is easily replaced by distributions...they do their own re-branding in Fedora and CentOS; the trademarks are built to be removable. Red Hat went out of their way to make it easier to build a from-source RHEL without violating trademarks, despite not really having a legal obligation to do so.

Hey,

I run Security First (https://www.secfirst.org). We are talking the issue of how to help make security learning and management easier for people at risk - NGOs, journalists, aid workers etc.

We've built a mobile app called Umbrella that puts best practice digital and physical security advice in the one place.

We also train and consult on various security issues for other organisations.

We are always looking for more help - technical, UI/UX, copywriting, dev (and funding of course).

You'd like it in the short term but probably not the long term. It's useful to remember HN isn't just a list of links. It's a conversation. If you set up your list of links to attract a certain audience, those people will eventually dominate the conversation.

From a strategic standpoint, the way to win is to appeal to a bookish audience. It's why HN is better than any subreddit.

Shared hosting is high trust? You are basically one stolen credit card and 5 minutes away from giving strangers SSH access to a host with lot's of customers that often process sensitive data.

Might be true that it's not that important for the cloud crowd where you just use an instance for everything but that that's expensive and not the reality outside of certain bubbles and in the end the problem is just invible to you because Google or Amazon are tightening their hypervisors for you.

Lot's of Hadoop/HPC clusters or university desktops depend on this stuff.

With everyone moving to Docker and Containers the kernel is the only thing that prevents an intruder from owning the host or the cluster - it's a shame that this is not taken seriously - however they still assign CVEs for it.

On a modern cluster node you have software defined networking - having root on a node also means access to different VLANs and stuff like that - most distribued applications just blindly trust anything inside their internal network are a pain the secure (try setting up Hadoop with Kerberos, it's not exactly click&play). A normal setup gives you a SSH key and instant shell on every machine in the cluster.

Also most machines are identical so if you own one, you most probably have the means to own all. You can also get all the configuration management data as root.

It's for sure not a barrier you should use as your last stand but it's something that should be as hard as possible to overcome. Just giving up and saying who cares only makes the job for future intruders easier.
Thanks for the reply.

Your article caught my attention because I was thinking about the problem of
integrating probabilistic machine learning models with deterministic rule bases
(specifically, first-order logic ones). The rules
themselves would be learned from data, with ILP. I'm starting a PhD on ILP in October and this is
one of the subjects I'm considering (although the choice is not only mine and
I'm not sure if there's enough "meat" in that problem for a full PhD).

My intuition is that in the end, the only way to get, like you say, a "natural"
integration between rules and a typical black-box, statistical machine learning
model is to train the model (ANN, or what have you) to interact directly with a
rule-base- perhaps to perform rule selection, or even to generate new rules
(bloody hard), or modify existing ones (still hard). In other words, the rule
base would control the AV, but the ANN would control the rule-base.

I think there's gotta be some prior work on this but I haven't even looked yet.
I'm kind of working on it, but not from the point of view of AVs and I'm using
logistic regression rather than ANNs (because it's much simpler to use quickly
and it outputs probabilities). And I'm only "kind of" working on it. And I don't
think it'll come to anything.

But, hey, thanks for the inspiration :)
The average GPA of millionaires alone is obviously not enough information to make the conclusions that this video is making. An average GPA of 2.9 is not far off from the average college GPA of regular students, anyways (for, let's say, the ones that graduate). For all we know (from just this statistic), college GPA could be completely independent from who is a millionaire and who is not. We really need information about the shape of the distributions in order to really compare these two groups. For instance, we would, at least, need to know that valedictorians (for the sake of simplicity, just people with 4.0s) have a lower likelihood of becoming millionaires than other groups. The average alone does not help us enough here.

I have a few questions for the people who are really more knowledgeable about the topic:

Is there really a lower incidence of high GPA graduates (3.8-4.0s) becoming millionaires than those closer to the average? Is this distribution tighter around the mean or are there clusters in certain bands of GPAs?
"In the US for example, you have the right to free speech. But except in very unusual circumstances, your employer can fire you for exercising it."
