if i were the King of All Science and were feeling despotic, I would do the opposite, I think -- put a moratorium for a few years on any publication of a p-value.

Scientists would still be free to make use of hypothesis testing to guide their research. In publications, one could use Bayesian methods and report a full posterior. One could also just give enough information about the null hypothesis and whatever distributions are involved to allow the computation of a p-value.

However, any attempt to explicitly publish the p-value itself would result in creative and embarrassing punishments.

Yes, but unfortunately, cost is not a reliable correlate of quality. And you can get quality for low cost (typically through sweat equity or engineering)
I knew Gerstner pulled off a minor miracle at IBM, but I had no idea that he also basically described AWS years before AWS (see the footnote at the end of the "IBM's cloud miss" section). That's another corporate what-if for the ages; IBM must still be kicking themselves for letting him go.

Huh? Who said anything about browser vendors? This is about preserving history, not preserving features in web browsers. Browser vendors can and should continue to remove support for Flash regardless of whether it's open sourced or not.

Essentially by supporting that manager's political goals (to gain power within the organization), you receive rewards based not on skill or merit but as a result of your support.

In this system, people in a relationship are either 'patrons' or 'clients', and it is expected that patrons will help clients within their power and in return clients will support their patrons advancement, either through advancing their ends directly or undermining competitors.

All of these things are wasteful distractions, but then, that's politics.

This problem applies not only to editor plugins but all sorts of things nowadays: npm packages for Node.js devs in particular seem like a great way to get viruses, given how hundreds of dependencies get pulled in, sometimes to save 2 or 3 lines of code. Here is an example in the Node package for Postmark (an email service provider) which had a dependency for literally 4 lines of code:
https://github.com/wildbit/postmark.js/pull/14/files

As developers, we need to be willing to reinvent the wheel when needed, instead of blindly installing dozens of 3rd party packages. And we should vet things we install no matter what.

the other side of the same coin is fresh perspective and unbiased application of engineering approach to any problem which results in disruption when it works. Sometimes it doesn't work, e.g. Theranos and others. Money made when it works keeps everybody as believers in that "church of disruption".

Hello technion,

thank you for your feedback! At this time the website just presents the main ideas and you can only sign up to the newsletter.
Regarding the tech behind our idea compared to the competitors, current solutions utilize Order (or property) Preserving Encryption or offer semantic security. This means that everything is encrypted once and uploaded to the cloud. Then, local indices help you retrieve the correct encrypted data. These approaches reveal the pattern of accesses (the frequency each encrypted file is accessed, if some encrypted files are accessed always together, and how many encrypted files are returned each time). It is proven that this information is enough for the cloud provider or anyone listening to the communication channel to infer the exact index information. The more attributes are indexed, the more information about your files/database rows is inferred and potentially, an adversary can reconstruct all your data without even breaking the encryption.
There are strong cryptographic techniques solving this problem by essentially re-encrypting some of the files each time you retrieve data (e.g., ORAM), but they were deemed non practical. F-Lock uses the latest advances in the field of ORAM and Differential Privacy in order to overcome any potential attacks, while retaining the practicality of the solution.
Sorry for the long reply! We hope this information is helpful.

Why isn't there something synonymous with a grand jury convening privately to determine if the case has enough merit to go forward? This seems like a step in the right direction to protect reputations.

Otherwise, it is reminiscent of the false accusations about political candidates in the 1940s/1950s making wildly false accusations, which forced their opponents to spend time and money to defend the claims. It still happens today as well although it seems easier to defend claims via social media and the 24hr news cycle having to keep up with all sorts of stories that draw people's attention.
Also pity the people paying for ads. The lack of competition means Facebook and Google/whatever can get away with some awful practices and quality control. With so few serious alternatives, falling the wrong side of an algorithmic glitch at one of these giants can literally cause a small business to fail, and that's not healthy at all for the economy as a whole.

Even if you had the computing power AND if you were simulating your fusion reactor's plasma in realtime, while it's running AND you know/can predict the plasma instabilities in realtime (under a few ms), you still need a way to "counter" those instabilites in the said plasma. And you need to counter fast, before the instability "poisons" the entire plasma, something that should happen within a few ms. If you don't, your entire experiment stops, and it takes a while to get it back (minutes). Currently: 1. nobody really understands the instabilities, why and when they happen; 2. there's no way to 'counter' them. So it's not only about the computing power.

> They probably know there's a whole heap of other security issues in it that'll get found and exploited as soon as they release it.

So wait until 2020, after all major browsers have dropped support for it. No reason to worry about vulnerabilities in software that nobody's using in production anymore. If anyone still cares, they can always fix the security problems themselves.
The 2nd sentence is an apology:
"Over the last few days, Kite has been knocked around in social media (and the actual media) over several moves we made to expand our user base. It was a humbling experience, and I’d like to apologize to the entire open source community for our handling of these projects."
is that number supposed to be low or high?

in the US $120k is a reasonable (mid-range) salary for a new college graduate in Silicon Valley, Seattle, or New York at one of the big 5 tech firms. It's comparable at financial institutions.

probably $60-$70k for a more "blue-collar" programming job at a lower-profile company, or in a lower cost-of-living area.

Things like Mono took a decade to finish as an exact clone of a portion of Microsoft's implementation, and that was only possible because the people using it (the target audience begin linux programmers) could fix the code as needed. Flash's target audience is artists.

Consider this case: For one of our software releases, we worked with another product group in the company to co-release a new product line. I was basically on loan from my team to work on that project, as the only developer from my product group, and working under another manager. During that time, my team's manager stepped down, and a new one was hired. The product was released, the salespeople made a lot of money on commissions selling the product. The "other manager" left the company. The dev team in the other product group all either left or were reassigned, and I was left as the sole escalation support for the product.

Problem: My team's new manager had no part in the decision of putting me on that project, couldn't override the time that I was required to spend supporting it, but also couldn't use me as flexibly as her other developers. So I was first at the chopping block when the company decided to have a round of layoffs. I was providing value to the company as a whole, but not helping my manager in her own job.

Hard work: Check.

Delivering results: Check.

Delivering value to my manager: Nope.

Result: Looking for a new job.

First Facebook TV Episodes Are Said to Be Ready for Mid-August
- Facebook has a massive, $35.5 billion hoard of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities. It's the third biggest S&P 500 company by this metric that isn't paying a dividend, after Berkshire Hathaway and Alphabet.

How many companies in total have more than $35.5B cash/equivalents? Including Apple, for example.
In this case then since the users are the product and rightfully as said product pay zero dollars to be the product, maybe fb is an advertising monopoly?
> There is a lot more to security than transport-layer encryption and authentication.

You are welcome to PR.

> Connection based

This could be explored: starting from simple handshake, all the way to fully connection based protocol. Open for discussion based on developer needs.

> The already-stated "requirements" are asking for something more complex than WebRTC.

You are welcome to highlight specifics that makes you think that way.

> Wait, are you thinking about using UDP to transport HTTP?! Do you even know what your MTU is?

UDP is not streamed but message based protocol. As WebSockets implement their transport layer over pure TCP, WebUDP could implement it's own layer over pure UDP for various reasons.

> > WebRTC suffers from complexity

> That complexity exists for reason.

For P2P type communications, this complexity is perhaps reasonable.

For Server-Client type communications not at all.

> Nowhere in this document is a discussion of the potential problems of using UDP or the ways tthe new service might be exploited by malicious actors.

This document is initial effort to bring public discussion to form a reasonable shape of what WebUDP could look like. You are welcome to participate.
At the very least, there would certainly need to be a lot of due diligence work. A lot of people seem to think that open sourcing something is as simple as dumping a source code tree to github, setting a license, and calling it a day.

It's not. Even when doing so is a priority, it can take months of work.
Firefox OS had TCP[0] and UDP[1] sockets as Web APIs. They were quite pleasant to use as a developer and the only way to create a real mail client (needs TCP to implement POP, IMAP, SMTP in JS).

I wish more Firefox OS APIs had become web standards. They would allow for some very powerful PWAs.

My 2016 Mercedes GLA was supposed to have support for Android Auto but the car arrived without it. Mercedes was working on the update for over a year now, and just few days ago I received an official reply from Mercedes Benz customer service saying that the technical department won't release such update, it was cancelled. It sucks to have such a modern car without support for it - and my partner's tiny volkswagen Polo supports both android auto and apple car play.

I agree. America has generally forced a one-type-fits all transpo strategy - personal autos. This is causing lots of problems regardless of the fuel source of the car - oil, natural gas, or electricity from the grid or rooftop.
Those implementations were created to be utilised within FirefoxOS where applications are granted permissions by user when installing them. And access to several API would be strictly regulated by OS it self.

In Web context this approach wouldn't work and would lead to security issues. Just like there was need or WebSockets (TCP), there is need for similar API for UDP but it cannot be pure access for creating UDP connections as this leads to many security concerns.
When two teams easily win unless they play each other, is it a competitive league?
It's not about making it available for continued production use. It's about archiving the content people created with it.

That's getting harder and harder to do as platforms get more and more complicated. "Mostly" compatible is less than helpful. Having access to the actual primary Flash implementation would be invaluable for preservation efforts.
I'm not sure I follow - how is this different from, say, a native app (desktop or mobile) that's just using UDP like normal? There's a single preflight request per client device, which can usually be satisfied when you load the website itself.
