There might not be enough to get e.g. one of the private keys, but you could probably use it to check for someone else in the contact list.

The CRL also seems like it might be possible to at least pivot off of, at least if the signing wasn't checked when writing the archive.

OK, savings rate does vary by income, according to the Fed: https://www.federalreserve.gov/econresdata/2016-economic-wel... . They only break things out into three income brackets (0-40K, 40K-100K, 100K+) - but even in the 100K+ bracket the median savings rate is somewhere between 6 and 10%, which isn't quite "max out the 401k" level. It looks like the data is available (https://www.federalreserve.gov/consumerscommunities/shed_dat...). The survey asks about level of education, what field that education was in, and number of children, so something like what you're asking about is actually checkable.

A cautionary tale for anyone who wants to start a startup.

The individual story points such their $499 price point or their "fake" video are, in my opinion, not the cause of their failure. For one, many companies, especially early stage ones, operate and even sell at a loss to get their product and brand out into the world and in the hands of customers.

Second, as has been pointed out here, products have been promoted before where the advertised features were not fully functional at the time of their promotion.

I also think that the features advertised are possible to build, even if not as perfectly advertised (i.e. I never expected the drone to fly if I were to, say, chuck it off of the empire state building).

I believe the root cause of the Lily's failure was in its founders execution. Releasing the drone with at least a couple of basic features may have pissed people off in that it didn't come as fully advertised but it would've have probably saved them a government investigation; and a well executed (as well as transparent and sincere) PR campaign would have quelled the masses.

The lean startup process would have been perfect in this scenario. The two features I would've picked would have been the follow feature (even if the range was limited) and the throw and go feature (even if it could only function as a "light" throw).

Comments like "It was a combination of hubris plus optimism" and "An engineer who led the software development team insisted on revamping the drone software to be his own original invention" are red flags that the founder's attitude and management was flawed and their ultimate downfall.

The moral of the story for any aspiring entrepreneur as I see it is to stay humble, spend your money carefully, and above all, learn from those around you. Take heed of advice and warnings from others. Perhaps if they had done that, we'd all be watching them fly towards success.
I wonder when people in places that are proud of their weather will start to realize their base assumptions may no longer be valid. I lived in San Diego the summer of 2015 and it was brutally hot.

One of the main problems was the speed with which systemd was rolled out on all the major Linux distros, despite it being relatively immature and very controversial at that.

The second major issue is it growing way out of the bounds of being just an init replacement, thereby violating the so-called Unix Philosophy of doing one-thing well. For a user app to do that is one thing, but for a core OS component to do that just smells way too much like forcing Linux to be more like Windows, which a lot of hard-core Linux users are ideologically opposed to.

The third major issue is that on most major Linux distros, users are not given an easy way to avoid using systemd, no matter how much they hate it or oppose it.

The fourth issue is the apparent arrogance of the people responsible for systemd, and their off-hand dismissal of mature and widely respected unix conventions.

The fifth problem is that when systemd breaks, troubleshooting and fixing it can be a lot harder than doing the same with an init script.

All of this adds up to a storm of controversy that the systemd people mostly brought upon themselves. Had they just been more humble about their creation and waited until it was mature and well-tested and did all the wonderful things they claim it could and should do instead of stuffing what was widely seen as a broken-by-design piece of garbage down everybody's throat, maybe much of the Linux community wouldn't have been nearly so outraged by it.

Re: compilation speed, a story with happy end: Achieving 3.2x Faster Scala Compile Time

Personally what I look at is what someone has built. If someone is a great engineer they can adapt, although there are some limits to this (I wouldn't hire someone who only works with MATLAB for a position that largely involves coding in C++). What I like to see are demos, not papers (although a demo of a paper is excellent).

ROS is something of a standard framework used in many places. AI is largely a buzzword and can mean many things, but ML tends to have more specific meaning. TensorFlow is becoming the commonly used library for all things machine learning. CUDA is becoming an incredibly useful skill, and GPU experts are always appreciated (including outside of robotics).

So play around with OpenCV if you want to work in computer vision, play around with TensorFlow if you want to do machine learning, and play around with ROS for learning how the backend of these systems work. If you want to be more of a specialist, learn CUDA and optimizing GPU code - I suspect that will be highly in demand for some time.

I'm fine with things using a bit more resources, but not three or four orders of magnitute compared to 10-15 years ago.

It's all about quick time to market, various Electron-based "desktop app" maintaners have openly admitted it right here in HN (though not in this thread). Any technical disagreements were killed off with (1) we won't hire developers who are specialists in desktop development due to costs and (2) our app doesn't use that much resources, everybody has strong machines nowadays anyway.
It's terrible having to input destination names etc without a (screen) keyboard. Screen + knob has been around for ages (e.g my 09 Audi) and it's great for simple things like scrolling radio stations but that's it. So for newer cars - yes it's terrible but there is no option. The safe solution is to stop to use the touch screen, just like you should stop to use the cell phone - but noone does that either. The design should be that there are knobs for a minimum set of features (climate, volume, ...).

Take this to it's extreme and you could make the touch screen read-only when the car is moving unless the passenger seat is occupied.
Exactly.

Which is also why Indeed's previous article "Where are the Highest Paying Tech Jobs in the US" is complete garbage. Shows SV average at $111k. SV and SF have disproportionately high portion of Tier 1 companies and positions, many of which will never show up on Indeed.

How can you talk about SV without Facebook? Facebook has 20k employees, about half of them in SV.

I love runit. It's simple and elegant, is in tune with the Unix Philosophy, and doesn't try to absorb a ton of unrelated, independent services into itself like systemd does.

I wasn't aware these debuggers existed. I'll have to check them out.

The purpose of writing point-free functions is to encourage thinking about chaining functions together instead of considering what really happens to low-level values. It's like using pipelines. This means that for debugging, "stepping through" wouldn't help you much IMO even if you could do it![0] (A whiteboard might help, though.)

I'll try to give an example: if you're looking at an unnecessarily point-free expression like "mapReduce = (. map) . (.) . foldr1", the logic is difficult to read. I'm not an expert in point-free-fu yet, so in that case I'd recommend pointful[1], which deobfuscates that expression to "mapReduce x x0 x2 = foldr1 x (map x0 x2)", a map followed by a fold. So the problem is again reduced to looking how functions are being chained together. For larger examples of point-free expressions I'd try to isolate individual functions as where clauses.

[0] As mentioned by cgmg, the Writer monad is useful if you need to know the values going in and out of functions.

This is exactly what I am talking about. Do you honestly see no hyperbole in this? Roomba having a map of my floors is no different than a policy that leads to gay kids in Russia being thrown in jail. Things aren't binary. We can deal with them in nuance. Equating these two together weakens your argument against both of them.
Accuracy is a problem. NBs are linear classifiers, and more so, the linear boundary is found by assuming features to be independent.

So, in cases:

(1) data cannot be separated linearly - NBs don't do well for the same reason as any other linear classifier wouldn't work well

(2) for linearly separable data - if the feature independence assumption is incompatible with the data, linear classifiers that don't make this assumption will beat it. For ex you can prove that logistic regression beats (or is at least as good as) Naive Bayes asymptotically. [1]

The kind most people seem to be discussing is the first, while the Fake News concept Trump uses is the second. Wasn't he the one who popularized the term?

If so, when was the term hijacked? If not, when did he hijack the term?

And then, which definition has more truth to it?
