ideas on where to look?

I really prefer p2p if available, and on my LAN it doesn't have to traverse NAT or anything.
No amount of staff will be able to predict file formats and protocols before they are designed, and unless file formats and protocols are permitted prior to being "understood" by this hypothetical internet filtering agency, then no new formats or protocols can be formed, or even updated. However, permitting them prior to being understood also mean that arbitrary traffic will be permitted, as long as the formats and protocols mutate faster than they are implemented by the bad guys (the state-level actors you describe).

The only scenario where I can think of a setup where a filtering agency would be able to block "dangerous content", while still permitting legit use, would be one where each and every file format and protocol creation/update would require applying for a permit to the respective agencies in every country where the format is to be used. The absurd bureaucracy this would entail, such as the time it takes for the agency to write some form of verification, would kill most, if not all, innovation. The only innovation I could imagine still living in such an environment would be circumvention efforts.

Furthermore, steganography is not a separate issue. In the hypothetical scenario where this is both possible and the resources for this exercise are present, the entire exercise becomes moot once you realize that you can encode anything as a jpeg or video file with a minimal overhead. Applications would just all implement protocols that exchange JPEG's or MP4's with a small overhead, leading to no traffic being stopped as "unreadable".

And before you ask: Detecting such measures is not possible in the general case.

If things are illegal they can typically get shut down directly. They don't need to be 'frowned' upon. Things being frowned upon shows a cultural preference or development.
I witnessed both: people changing for the better, and people changing for the worse. I had a hard time convincing family and friends that my old self was dead. While in prison it was easy to spot those that were genuine. Those that were looking to change their ways and behavior would stick together. I saw good people (people that weren’t career criminals like me) become involved with gang activity while in prison. The peer pressure inside goes against improving yourself. Being a square in prison is much, much harder than being a bad-ass.

PRE-EDIT: The comment I was replying to got deleted. It expressed the sentiment that Assange and Wikileaks should not have aspersions cast upon them based on one's unhappiness that they leaked the Podesta mails, and that an interest in truth must include truth as a whole principle, rather than wanting only truths that reinforce one's political preferences.

----

Furthermore, beyond the campaign coverage, Wikileaks has revealed a lot of non-election related things over the last year, including CIA programs to remotely hijack any Samsung SmartTV and turn it into a listening device.

Wikileaks appear to be staying true to their mission. It's sad that there is such a strong impulse to discredit the organization as a whole, and ignore/derail large amounts of the absolutely critical work they are doing, just because the group exposed the corrupt practices of one's favored political candidate.

Ha, I ssh-ed a box and wanted to download a file ... several stackexchange threads later and I ignored ssh/rcp and other suggestions and just used the fish: protocol in dolphin (on KDE) and drag-dropped the file. I'm sure it took way longer than it should but the other methods seemed way more complex, I was expecting a ftp-like copy command to be available.

None of pattern matching, algebraic data types, strong typing, type inference and types that can't be null are specific to functional, nor do they make it any more functional. Purity isn't a language feature, it's a measure of how functional a language is, so it's tautological to say functional languages share purity. Currying is a byproduct of first class functions, not of functional programming, and currying is common in JavaScript and Python and other non-functional languages including C++. Forced recursion instead of loops would just be a byproduct of not having mutable state. And a good alternative to a recursive loop is a call to map() or reduce().

> The Wikipedia quote is really vague.

I think the Wikipedia quote is clearer and FAR more precise than a common feature set. Functional programming "treats computation as the evaluation of mathematical functions and avoids changing-state and mutable data." That is the definition of functional, and it's the whole definition. No mutation, that's it. Including the features you wrote about is not functional programming, it's other things.

That's important to consider the precise definition if you're going to critique someone for talking about functional programming in a certain way. The author was pretty clear that this is functional programming concepts as applied to arrays in JavaScript, he never claimed that this post covers functional programming in general.

Map, filter & reduce are examples of functional programming, and if they were all you used, and you had only const and no var, then you might have a functional program. @zabana didn't claim that this is all you'll ever need.

> management avoiding decision making

A solid point, but I'd also add justifying decision-making.

The stated reason for projects like this is usually to guide better decision making, which is only possible if the project succeeds. But as long as the project produces some kind of comprehensible output, it can be used as an excuse for making new decisions or changing old ones.

Dilbert used to have a lot of strips about managers using re-orgs to bury their bad decisions. From some of the horror stories I've heard lately, data science and analytics have taken over that role at many companies, helping to cover up power grabs and backtracking under the guise of "listening to the data".

Actually, this is a good point. Yes, I agree 100% it doesn't automatically make you a piano player. But it might make you appreciate piano music and pianists more. It might make you interested in how piano music evolved over time etc.

> Do you have the numbers to back that up?

Seriously?

Do you mean car .vs. gun, or gun harm/death differentials between countries with (broadly) different attitudes towards gun ownership and use?

The latter is pretty easy to find numbers. Wikipedia [1] (sort by last column) for countries by fire-arm death, or [2] estimated number of guns (ownership) per capita. Comparing gun deaths around the world, humanosphere[3] has some nice stats (from 2016-06) dispelling the 'other countries without so many guns just use knives' argument. Actually, that article has some hugely sobering comparisons with some highly risky parts of the planet. CBS posted an article in 2016-02 [4] comparing gun deaths in the USA with other countries - quoting a study published in the AMA earlier in the year.

If you mean the former - that's a trickier thing to evaluate. Less people have access to a gun than a car, for starters, and most people use a car much more often than they use a gun. Cars are designed to transport people and goods - guns are designed to cause damage - so defining 'accidental use' of both is an interesting question. A bit of quick googling comes up with some numbers, suggesting guns are now - in absolute terms - the cause of death for more USA citizens than cars ... but naturally there's some dispute about how those numbers are determined, and some strong interest in not comparing those stats to other countries.

On the other hand, if you think gun ownership should be legal, popular, loosely regulated, and enshrined in law, then you're probably well prepared to disregard any argument to the contrary. Any 'but people die from car accidents' rebuttal <sic> is pretty disingenuous.

Yes, but that comes at a price. It means that banks and financial institutions cannot make the same level of outrageous profits -- or at least not without finding different income streams.
Having recently moved from T-Mobile to Verizon, I'm much happier with the service I get from Verizon. The speed I get from having a better connection sometime has made a massive difference. I don't think I was anywhere near the max speed on T-Mobile because I was lucky to have 3 bars most of the time.

Yes, this idea is old enough that Socrates was known to complain about the next generation.

$200/kWh by 2019.

Assuming that households consume between 30 kWh and 15 kWh electricity daily on average and you want to have storage capacity for 1/3 of daily electricity consumption to get wind or solar energy work, you need 10-5 kWh per household. That's $2000 - $1000 per household. If that battery lasts 10 years, its $200 - $100 per year.

It's workable and scales if we are able to reuse lithium. When does that happen? (recycling is not reuse)
But it's way more risky cause you could end up loosing more than the price of the option.

Thus people would be more careful which is an improvement in my point of view.

Re-establishing the uptick rule would be a middle ground between banning totally and current speculative frenzy.
I agree that Snapchat and IG are two different use cases. And I find myself annoyed at the constant stream of tech journos pushing the narrative of "there can only be one!". Email and SMS coexist in the same way that Snapchat and IG could coexist. I use each of these apps daily and for different reasons. Snap is probably way overvaluated currently, but that is a separate problem in my mind.
Tesla has been around for a while and GM actually has a car that directly competes with Tesla Model 3, and many are coming. Sure Model 3 will be marquee model, but it did not have surprise element of iPhone nor people buy Cars every two years. Even to this day, building EVs with big batteries is not economical or profitable, that may change now, but building EV is not a rocket science. Every major Auto manufacturer has the know-how, they may be constrained by the supply-chain in the future. With low gas prices, people want SUVs not Sedans, if Model 3 was economic SUV, Tesla would have voraciously eaten couple of Car companies, its a Car and so the rest of the ICE world, will survive them!
I think we can't see the 2008 the 2008 as only a one time event because the 2008 crisis caused a period of stress for a while for a lot of families.

I agree that the smartphone has a strong addictive power but so does the internet, alcohol, various drugs ... It wasn't alone in a "source of shifting stressors".

So I think it s difficult for me to be completely convinced on this thesis because they didn't speak about the nearly concomitant 2008 event that in my mind could explain why teenager would fall to addiction. The fact that the smartphone was the new addiction is not irrelevant but it isn't the full explanation.

28L is longer than 28R. Similar to how 28R (or at least its lighting) is longer than taxiway C. The general geometric appearance of the lighting was probably similar enough to what they were used to that it looked mostly correct. As for the X, it was 20 feet wide and about 1000 feet away from where they were aiming, so it would not be relevant to the incident.

Very true, but have you ever found yourself bored enough to do something else, yet still continuing to check your favorite sites or looking for engagement online and being disappointed? It's like looking for that dopamine hit and not finding it. It kind of goes beyond boredom to a strange kind of empty feeling.
One key fact that I wish every product manager internalizes is that data science is a technology. And like all technologies, it may or may not be applicable to particular problem. And it may or may not be best use of an organization's time to invest in that technology v/s other options.

On the marketing side, just like a marketer will never market a database upgrade to users, she shouldn't consider marketing data science / ML directly to users. Users DO NOT care about using a data science enabled feature. They want value and progress in their lives and some times you may create more value by removing a form field than by investing in and delivering a data science project.

So use good business sense balance investment v/s reward for evaluating data science projects. I wrote about this here: https://growth.wingify.com/what-you-need-to-know-before-you-...

Cool to see a CTO taking an interest in marketing. The critical aspect of this is if that input is based on a breadth of learning or just engineer-led thinking. By that I mean taking on marketing problems from a technical viewpoint is not always the best idea.

> [1] The flipside of this is that it's an indictment of companies that hoard huge amounts of cash, like Apple. That they can't find a way spend it building future stuff is a signal that they are out of big ideas, and (in the case of Apple) have been for some time.

I partially disagree on this. Apple's $250 Billion dollars stashed in Europe is both a way to defer paying taxes on these profits (the main reason), and a huge gun pointed at the head of the US government (a secondary, but important reason). That amount of money is now big enough to count as a constant threat to market stability, currency stability, etc.
I attended a high school in Toronto from grades 10 to 12. The purely academical content of the science and math courses (math, physics, chemistry, and biology), can seem "laughable" but that is not all that there is to our education system. Every student is required to take elective courses from 3 different categories and students get exposed to lots of different ideas early on.

The public school I went to offered 100+ elective courses on different topics from law, and philosophy to computer science, industrial design, and even hairstyling. We had access to great teachers who took on project-based approaches to teaching that made the lessons more enjoyable. For example, when my Physics teacher wanted to teach us about vectors, he put us into groups and gave each group a sheet of vectors and a tape meter. We had to travel in the direction of each vector on the sheet until we got to a point in the school where he had hidden a sheet of paper and when we took that back to him, he would mark our assignment as completed. After that assignment, everyone in my class had a much better understanding of vector arithmetics.

Students who will attend a post-secondary in other countries will end-up redoing most of the advanced math and science they did in high school in the first-year of university anyway. For the rest of the students, those extra science and math courses will just be a waste of valuable time that they could have spent learning more useful skills.
