How does this compare to what data.world [1] is doing? They recently released a Python SDK [2] as well.

>>That is a terrible idea because agencies like the NSA or GCHQ with unfathomable resources and techniques will crack them and never tell anyone.

As opposed to the current situation where they can just get the info from Facebook/Google/etc. directly? At this point you may as well assume state actors have access to anything you put on the internet.
If you're using a keyed hash, then dictionary attacks can't be parallelized.
The obsession of the tech industry with "passion" for work is bizarre to me. Only a tiny percentage of humans have the chance to choose work they love.

MOST people, every day, are doing a job their heart isn't in. Do you think anyone really has a passion for scrubbing toilets? Or delivering packages? Or ringing up convenience store purchases?

If your heart isn't in your job, that doesn't mean there's something wrong with you, and it doesn't mean you can't just fucking do your job. It doesn't even mean you can't still do a great job of it!
The only thing worse than this accusation is the alleged coverup. Holy smokes.

No, but a surprising number of Computer Science degrees are mislabeled. Plenty of CS programs don't even require that their students take even a single class on computer science.
There is a reason to improve the product because if they don't they will lose subscribers.

What does change is there isn't the incentive to pile in dubious features to justify charging for an upgrade every other year.

It seems there's an open opportunity: single letter domain names see only very limited use.

I've just scanned through, and only x.com, q.com, and z.com resolved. q.com redirects to a centurylink setup page, and z.com is a japanese media group.
I still find a need to bracket occasionally.

But to your point... it seems that "HDR" means two different things these days.

1. A tool to expand the dynamic range.

2. A style of tone mapping.

These two things frequently coincide, but there's no reason for #1 to have crazy surreal tones, and #2 frequently comes from a single exposure.

> I agree I don't understand the nature of data NASA

It's not the nature of the data that poses an issue... it's the lack of direction. AI/ML/NN (whatever buzz word of choice) simply cannot do the things you seem to believe it capable of.

> it does not hurt getting some help from companies that are searching for problems to solve.

What makes you think Google or Microsoft have any interest in working on NASA's research? These are very, very different domains.

Even if they were interested, what problems would they be solving exactly? This is the lack of direction that is the core problem with you assertion AI/ML/NN would be of any help here on it's own.

organized by Pingwest, which itself seems like a Chinese Gov. front if you look at the team.

I am PingWest subscriber on WeChat and generally quite fond of their writing. Last night, I privately and specifically asked Thomas Luo [1][2], the co-founder of PingWest, whether they have connection to Chinese government. Thomas denied the claim. Also looking at his resume, there isn't much I would raise the flags of being a government front. So my question for you is this: what are you smoking?

Unless you are a non-programming researcher that learned labview and needs to work on fpga, you should just use something else.

IMO it's worth learning systemverilog even if you're in that position; labview has so many 'gotchas' and is so gross for anything large, I think it is never the right answer.
Probably because it's pedantic. At most schools, if you want to major in computer stuff, you major in some sort of computer science major. In some universities, it's in the engineering school. In others, it's associated with other science programs, math in particular. There are various historic reasons for this.

People who then go to build software systems are at least hopefully applying at least some engineering principles. Software arguably often doesn't follow as well-established engineering principles as some other types of engineering. But arguing there's some great separation between computer science and engineering really is pedantic.
That's an excellent idea. I wonder if it'd work with this scenario.
What would it take to get you to name and shame? That whistle pretty likely needs to be blown on the one that didn't agree to abandon such a policy.
Do you genuinely believe that the mass importation of people with radically different beliefs and customs (such as an adherence to Sharia Law) would have no effect on the native population? That cultural change wouldn't affect scientific freedoms? That it wouldn't affect civil liberties? Technological advancement? Crime rates?

Does it seem impossible to you that cultural differences could spark a civil war? Do you disbelieve that native populations can be essentially wiped out by a competing or hostile culture within a few short generations, similar to the fate of the Native Americans?

Why should someone believe that all cultures are equal when some cultures and nation states are much, much more successful by almost any quantifiable metric?
> Bar passage rates at Whittier, long an avenue for disadvantaged students to become lawyers, had plunged in recent years. Its passage rate hovered in the routine statewide range, about 68 percent a few years ago, but fell to 22 percent on the July 2016 bar.

This is a great example of a statistic that is interesting but needs more context to be useful. Did the authors check to see whether other California law schools saw a similar decline? If so, why call out Whittier? If not, wouldn't that suggest that the problem is with Whittier and not with the bar program? What am I supposed to infer, being told only that at least one school saw a decline?

Edit: I looked it up. There apparently aren't reported numbers for Whittier because fewer than 11 of their students sat for the bar exam for the first time in 2017. So the statistic is even less useful than I suspected.
Fair enough.

There is a challenge though which I've experienced first hand which is you own a stock which has become the biggest part of your portfolio but you can't trade it freely because you work at the company. That includes buying options on that stock, and it would include buying "insurance" which was a proxy for buying options on your stock. The only solid advice there is sell it when you have a chance to and move it into something you can trade and/or buy options on.

If you don't work at the company whose stock is the 'big chunk' then it is easy, sell half and use the proceeds to buy into an ETF. Then you're risk goes from a 20% reduction becomes a 10% hit. Having all your eggs in one basket, especially a tech basket, was how a lot of people experienced a lot of loss in the dot com blowup.
Yeah - the fact that the head of People Operations attributed these complaints to "cattiness" and told the victim that she should try to be a "cool girl" was stunning to me.

FWIW, I did think your tool did a good job finding good compositions within mundane scenes. Looking at the originals, I have to admit that in many or even most of the cases, I wouldn't have spotted the opportunity - which points to an area I can improve my craft.
The underpinning to this issue is that these jobs aren't actually necessary. If the population was going to starve if that crop wasn't harvested, or if the population was going to die without that flight, the money to find farmhands/pilots would appear pretty quickly. But luxuries are only desirable up to a certain price point.

We don't normally do work for the sake of working. We work to provide what people want, at a price that is agreeable to all parties. If an agreeable price isn't found, it means not that we need to find people, it means the work to be provided isn't really wanted by anyone in the first place.

I interviewed with BetterWorks last year for four rounds of onsite interviews. This is in addition to a couple rounds of phone interviews and a quite extensive homework assignment. Everything seemed to be going well, but they ultimately ended up passing on me with absolutely no explanation.

They seemed like a professional place and I didn't observe much out of the usual regarding professionalism, but I can't pretend I wasn't a bit soured by investing so much time and not getting an explanation on why they passed.

Your comment seems to be 100% independent of this accusation.
Depends on where you went to high school. Did you have polynom division in school (most people have)? In that case, Wikipedia should be enough.

Otherwise, you’d probably have to learn some more advanced math first to understand CRC well enough to implement it.
Because that would require longer instructions and thus more memory.

Instructions on a CPU are something like to following (this is based on MIPS since x86 is a mess) The first 6 bits are the instruction, the rest is command specific. For add the next 12 would be 4 bits for each of the source registers and then the destination register and then various flags (overflow for example).

If instead they only worked on memory they would have a lot more possible instructions - but there isn't enough room on CPUs to design that many instructions anyway so who cares, followed by the all three memory addresses. This means that every CPU instruction needs to read 3 times as much memory before doing anything. Worse, most of those are pointers: when you compile the code you don't know the location of those address, so in most cases it is read the instruction from the program, then go back to the stack to read the address of the next values, then read those locations. That is a lot of memory access and memory access is expensive. Of course as you can say you can just use caching, but cache is expensive and now you need to add 3 times as much - this is too big for the fast level one cache so now you are expanding level two cache and seeing a lot more cache misses in the level one cache.

The above would all be okay, but it turns out that given enough registers (x86 fails here) in most cases you are operating on the same set of values all the time, (indeed the stack locations each of the above is referring too is probably a small set of variables) so if the compiler is careful it can manage all that. The compiler has better information on when things need to be committed to memory anyway so let it handle that.
Assholes take notice, this wave of transparency and collective action is only going to increase in strength moving forward; either turn on a dime or find another world to live in.
There are no "most places" for the companies mentioned above, and certainly no places that aren't major hubs.
I have a couple. The one by my kitchen has far fewer false alarm issues than my prior smoke detector there did (but does still warn me when I'm smoking up the place).

I don't really care that much about the IoT aspects. It just seems to work well and it self-tests.
Indeed. Just sharing my experience with them.
We also shouldn't discount it just because Python is usually fast enough (all my personal projects are in Python). Developer time is cheaper than hardware 99% of the time. For the 1% that are running millions of requests per second through their web stacks the value proposition is pretty compelling.
Instead of password hashes, why don't we just use Argon2id as a KDF to produce an Ed25519 keypair, and then publish the (salt, memcost, opscost, Ed25519 public key)?

No,law schools have massively expanded and lowered standards in order to keep up enrollment. As a consequence fewer students pass the bar.
[...] a more analytically fruitful approach is to examine the impact of the First World War. Here, for the first time in modern Europe, we see [...] the willingness of the state to incarcerate huge numbers of civilians considered threatening.

This statement was the one I found most intriguing in the entire article, but then the author did not expand on it. Maybe he does so in his book. It was strange to me to consider that this state of the world has not always been the norm.

When I looked into it, I found conflicting sources of information. Anyone with knowledge on the subject feel like expanding on this?
No, there's no charge for bandwidth. The most common uses so far are users installing datasets locally, which caches the data at the destination or running batch jobs in ECS/EC2, which doesn't accrue charges on AWS.
Thanks its great to hear someone else using it successfully. Still I'd like some more stories before trying to set it up as our company standard.

Thanks for describing the problem. That's really interesting. We can certainly aggregate counts of downloads and installs across versions in Quilt. I'll definitely look into providing DOIs within Quilt and see if it's something we can do.
Lol, no, the bar exam is theory too. Average LSAT scores for applicants have dropped because smarter people caught on and realized law school is one of the biggest scams out there today.
I don't think so - it's only used when you trigger the Redeem Code action and you scan the code via camera ...
I think it was a really interesting (and smart) choice to convert to Parquet format. Columnar storage is so much more efficient, and working with data in Parquet is pretty fast using the engines they mention (Apache Spark, Impala, Hive, etc.).

I actually had been thinking about Parquet as a component of ETL, and if it might be possible to make ETL many times faster by compressing to Parquet format on the source and then transmitting to a destination - especially when you're talking about limited bandwidth situations where you need entire data sets moved around in bulk.

This looks really nice for sharing public data sets, but I wish that there was a better public non-profit org running indexes of public data sets.... I guess if something like the semantic web had ever taken off, then the Internet itself would be the index of public data sets, but it seems like that dream is still yet to materialize.
I....have no words. Effectively clear-text password storage. That should be criminal by now.
I was kind of disturbed that GitHub publishes every user's public key.

https://developer.github.com/v3/users/keys/

This is a different situation and public keys are not directly analogous to password hashes: there isn't a reliable way of cracking public keys in the same sense that there's a semi-reliable way of cracking hashes. But it was still strange and uncomfortable to me that they would reveal this "target" (and if there were specific key generation bugs, like RNG seeding errors, people might actually be able to crack a few of them and know that they had suceeded).

Relatedly, I was thinking about the magic crypto-cracking device in the movie Sneakers. Once they had it, they could immediately use it to log on to random network-connected services, defeating the authentication. So, how is that supposed to work? How do they automatically know what credentials would be accepted for a particular service? Are there common network authentication protocols based on public-key cryptography that have the property that the verifier tells the prover the public keys that it trusts?
The author makes a very valid point about people replacing embedded systems with Linux. I have a home automation system that has been running for over a decade now, and has several generations of technology in it. The order of failure is, from highest to lowest:-
1. the desktop I receive status updates on;
2. the Raspberry Pi I added to monitor the remote nodes and email me status updates;
3. the batteries;
4. the physical parts: motors, etc;
5. the embedded systems that read the sensors and control the motors;
6. the analog circuitry.

Should OpenGov have been excluded from the White House Roundtable because of the connection? Was the connection used to gain an undue advantage? Maybe this was addressed in the article (behind a paywall for me), but otherwise this seems tenuous.

Thrive was a <$2M series B(1) investor, they have closed $70M in funding since then. It's unclear whether Joshua Kushner was involved with OpenGov, or one of his GPs. No one from Thrive currently sits on the board.

So we get cries of "nepotism!" and "cronyism!" because, basically, "the brother of one of our investors is married to the daughter of someone important". (I know, Jared Kushner is himself in a position of power: I drew that out as hyperbole.)

The "insurance" you seek is in the form of different investments that are probably more stable (e.g. bonds, or something in an entirely different market like buying a house).

Stocks given as rewards should be treated, in my opinion, as valueless (i.e. make sure you have enough for rent and food based on what is actually paid, not some theoretical future that depends on stocks). Treat it like cash that you may or may not find on the street: "great, IF you get something, otherwise no worse off".
> Hypothetically you could just invest $2400 and use the interest to pay the subscription. Saving $2,600.

Except you do not actually use software forever, and there is also no market for licenses for 10-year-old versions, so you have to actually calculate it as an annuity.

So, if you expect to use the software for ten years, the NPV of 120$ per year would be about 900$ at 5% interest.
I've actually been thinking about starting a Sales bootcamp aimed at teaching technical founders, or people with no background in sales.
