Thank you! That same thought had been sitting at the back of my head, but I could not quite put it into words.

If I had made a mistake - even an honest mistake, the kind where one could not have done any better - that caused somebody to be falsely convicted - not even of murder: any kind of crime that is serious enough to end up in court! - I strongly think that I would feel absolutely terrible about it and at the very least apologize to that person. Beg for forgiveness, actually.

Ten fascinating initiatives in societal progress
Did a quick look on Zillow, there is quite a few nice looking detached homes and townhouses in the Bronx, Brooklyn, and Statin Island.
I decided to look into this and it was a gigantic waste of time so here's what I found so that you don't have to. From the page:

The money was being raised to allow the OP to be on the "Defend Europe" boat, which exists "to hamper the rescue of refugees in the Mediterranean".

> This is where SOA (microservices for the kiddies) really pays for its overhead—by decoupling human teams and giving them agency.

Funny you mention microservices, because I've been thinking about Susan Fowler's book about them and how the advice is basically "Here's how we made sure that we kept up our agility by introducing tons of process before anyone could think of deploying a microservice, because otherwise every team would do literally everything their own way and it would be great until it turned into an unquenchable tirefire."

Yes. I think it's critical to define three things when making a decision:

a) What was decided (obvious, but you'd be surprised how often people disagree)

b) Why it was decided - Now you can construct a basic "Given X, Y, and Z, it seems like a good idea to A and B"

c) The criteria for success or failure - how would someone who did not make the decision know whether it was successful or not?

Without all three, you can't make empirical decisions and then follow up on them. Decisions without any of those three are unmoored from reality.
I don't know about their verifcation strategy, but https://www.coolearth.org/ is along these lines.

All it means to "pass" an audit is that at the conclusion of the audit there were no outstanding vulnerabilities that the "auditor" had found.

"Audits" and "passing" make some sense for network security, where you can run a checklist of best practices and known vulnerabilities. But you can't really "audit" source code in the same sense, any more than you can contract someone to spend 2 weeks finding all the sev:hi crashers or data loss bugs in your database.

It would be good if organizations could stop pretending that "passing" a software security assessment was meaningful.

What you really want to know is how many person/days Cure53 spent on Briar, who Cure53 had staffing the engagement, what the scope of the engagement was (what components were off limits), and whether they found anything that was subsequently fixed (it's an industry secret that one of the reasons you do an audit is so you don't have to publish the "real" findings).

From the report, it looks like they spent 13 calendar days testing (it's not clear how many person/days were spent), of which only 3 were dedicated to cryptography, and the audit was constrained to the Android clientside code.

For perspective: the "industry standard" software pentest of a reasonably complicated web application is 2 people, 2 weeks.

> This is true for Haskell, but "most" other functional languages don't suffer this issue: SML, OCaml, F#, Rust, etc.

I don't have much experience with the ML family of languages, so I may have jumped to conclusions based on my previous experience with Haskell/Elm, but I did not intend it to sound as a dismissal of functional languages at all.

In fact, there is a growing community of researchers working on functional language design for the EVM, but I would wager that it's way more complex to build such a compiler than something a bit more "close to the metal", especially since no one had much experience with the implications of the memory/storage/execution model of Ethereum at the time work started on Solidity, let alone the kinds of vulnerabilities these contracts would be exposed to.

Hindsight is 20/20.
You like people telling you what to do and having no control over those decisions? Personally I absolutely loathe such environments, especially when the decisions are made haphazardly without proper rationale, which they often are (executives are human too).

At the end of the day, the "subordinates" are the ones actually doing the far majority of the work, and they far outnumber the managers. I don't see why the workers shouldn't at least have a seat at the table when the decisions are being debated that would affect them. Often the managers are so removed from the work that they lack a lot of the insights from the front lines.

The most common rebuttal I hear when I bring this up is, like you said, "too many people makes things inefficient". Bullshit. Sure a decision ultimately needs to be made, but there's no reason one shouldn't be allowed to provide input.

And in my experience, I do think it's more about people wanting to feel powerful, and fear of losing this power (eg. like the other commenter who mentioned fear of "power inversion"). The people in power are generally the most sycophantic, and thus have the least interest in interacting with or relinquishing power to subordinates because it doesn't personally benefit their position of power or ladder-climbing question.

If a bunch of executives make a bad decision, then "oh well, there's no way we could've known". If a bunch of executives make a bad decision after a meeting with subordinates who questioned their decision, then it makes the executives look bad and threatens their judgement and position of authority. So from a selfish perspective, it's better to keep the minions out.

If there is anything such as free will, then it has to arise out of indeterminacy in the particles that constitute the human form.

If every particle in the human body could be acocunted for, and its next state predicted deterministically based on a fixed set of laws, that means no living organisms have free will, and are merely executing a program whose behavior and outcome is determined solely by its initial state. There is no "ongoing input" in the form of free will decisions/choices.

And you need to take the realistic philosophical consequences of that very seriously ... if there is no free will ... I simply cannot imagine how someone can live with that. You might as well kill yourself now, since you are nothing but a robot.

I really do despise (and am horrified) by a worldview that says we're all robots, and have no free will. Learning about indeterminacy at the quantum level was a huge relief. It's a logical deduction/conclusion that this low-level indeterminism is likely amplified into "choice" in human beings.

> "But while the operations of such currencies, based on blockchains, have been fully decentralized, the trust graph of these cryptocurrencies have remained entirely centralized. Everyone need to trust Bitcoin to transact in Bitcoin, and everyone needs to trust Ethereum to transact in Ethereum or assets issued on the Ethereum blockchain."

Given a string can you programatically determine whether it is bitcoin? (Starting from a string called 'genesis block', asking assumingly malicious nodes for more strings, doing some math you can reach the string in question.) (Note: You cannot do so with ERC tokens, an alarming thing to ponder[0])

Can you determine with high probability the "amount of work done" in producing the set over which you previously did math? (This amount acts as the amount of trust we lay behind it, which we determine on our own. We always await anyone who can provide more cumulative work done.)

Thus there is no trust graph with bitcoin atleast. (Apart from mining centralization, and users prone to upgrading, bitcoin is pretty close to decentralised and looks to improve in future with physical limits being reached with mining chips and people increasingly opting for immutable code alongwith the immutable chain it calculates on (once all aspects of fungibility like anonymity is solved, users might stop upgrading at all).)

How AI Fits into Your Data Science Team
I can't entirely follow the article. What I read is a CEO of a 10k+ employee company had to relocate to grow and sustain growth. A team of 70 people was affected. He made the (right|wrong, pick as you like) decision 70 people leaving now is better than 10k+ having to miss out on the future opportunities.

That is what I read from this article. Though all is speculation as there is no real information in there apart from a quote you can be for or against.

This is not "why good people leave large tech companies". It a sole example of a very small group in a very specific situation. Relocation loses people yes. But not amass and not as a hidden thing. The company is well aware of it. The quote itself was there for years and it is not why people left.

Large tech companies that loose good software people for instance often do so because they apply their hardware processes to software teams as well. In addition they don't want to spend money of software, software has to come for free right! The hardware is expensive but the software is a thing we had to add as cheap as possible. That means deny requests for fancy work setups; my hardware guys can work with one 19" monitor why do they need 2 24"?

Have no separate career ladder for the technical people, I.e. You can only grow into exec or fellow if you switch to the people's route and forget the technical (I.e. General managers, directors etc but no levels above lead software architect of a (smaller) department).

Now that loses people.

P.s. I work in a large tech company. 100k+. We recently resolved the last part but not yet entirely the former. Coincidence is that I'm being relocated in January 2018. It brings about 20 minutes additional travel time for me, but for most others it doesn't. Like the article. However, I'm not seeing how losing me (and some others) would outweigh the benefit of having the entire NL software group in a single location.

Why start from scratch and not use something like Haskell or ML? I don't understand why they're reinventing the wheel when there's a chance that millions could be stolen..
Our CEO has flat out told us that it's incredibly hard for him to get honest feedback from anyone (except for maybe the board and investors), and another executive echoed this. Nobody wants to question the almighty CEO to his face.

Nothing against the CEO. He's an extremely friendly and approachable person. Most people just fear questioning authority and power, and the CEO in a modern day corporation is revered similar to a king in a monarchy. It's always been like that at every company I've worked for.

Not that difficult. There is not much point in creating immutable contracts since they act like singletons.

This is different from the kinds of objects that you would instantiate in a language like Java, where best practices suggest defining as immutable unless you have a good reason not to.

From an ethical point of view building this software must be difficult.
