I like this resource for keeping in mind how to put together a really strong LinkedIn profile:

http://topdogsocialmedia.com/linkedin-marketing-infographic/

Her book's good too.

Getting recommendations is very helpful. Endorsements too of course. Building up a network. And being visible -- either publishing posts regularly, or even just sharing other people's relevant content.

There's some simple changes you can apply that make a positive difference quickly, but to build a fantastic profile takes time, and can be quite a bit of work. But since LinkedIn isn't going anywhere, it's an investment in your future. Building up your own site/blog compliments this, along with other relevant social properties - Github...etc.

Having a fully fleshed out profile would certainly be helpful for getting jobs in future, but particularly if you want to contract, since credibility and visibility (and ideally a network too) are vital for that.
Note that Shannon did use the word "alone", implying that commissions is not the only reason why this strategy is not as great as it seems at first. I'm guessing he (being one of the most prominent mathematicians of the 20th century) picked this example exactly because it was a counter-intuitive and complex problem that seems simple on the surface.
The Hotel Room Hacker
The local populace has a $170 million/year problem of stolen cars. Government spends $86 million (one time cost? estimated cost over X years? it's unclear) to help solve this problem. Doesn't seem like that bad of an economic tradeoff on the face of it, really.

I can understand that the $86 million seems like a lot until you realize the kinds of capabilities that an automotive camera system like has to comply with and all of the integration needed with other software/systems/services and the fact that this cost is likely a total cost over many years as it sounds much more sensational. Just the initial report from Deloitte cost the government $115,000.

In their first trial in 2014-2015, which lasted 15 months, with only 6 cars outfitted, ended up identifying and impounding 240 stolen cars and increased revenue from additional tickets by hundreds of thousands of dollars per month. That's pretty impressive!
Now they're rolling out to not just 6 cars but to 220 total, which in theory should improve policing efforts.

Some acts (like Marilyn Manson) might have played up the satanist image for media attention, but it was really more about rebellion from established social mores and strictures.

There are lots of WordPress maintenance services [1] out there, but they're quite expensive. We remove the maintenance/upgrade problem altogether staticizing your WordPress sites and putting them on a CDN. The real WordPress installation lives on a separate domain and only runs when an editor needs to make some changes to the content. And it's totally seamless for visitors and your editors.

I highly doubt that was optimized Julia code. Sure you might have used a really fast python library and a very slow Julia library, but there is no way optimized Julia code should be slower than Python. Julia simply offers far more ways to control performance than python.

Not necessarily. I don't know much details about other technologies you have mentioned, but user surveillance has many overlapping technologies with IT security: deep packet inspection, network flows monitoring, white/black listing etc. can be used for both good and evil and switched in-between quite easily. I'm very pro-privacy and sometimes get to work with such technologies, though I emphasize that what I do is strictly for security purpose only.

> claiming that thanks to cryptography the world of intelligence was “going dark”. Quite the opposite was true [...] Twenty years ago it cost over a thousand pounds a day to follow a suspect around, and weeks of work to map his contacts; Ed Snowden told us how nowadays an officer can get your location history with one click and your address book with another. In fact, searches through the contact patterns of whole populations are now routine.

Funny how the massively increased surveillance never prompted cops and spy agencies to ask for more limited powers, but the smallest hint of encryption has them crying for even more invasive powers.

Just not funny 'ha ha'.

This doesn't seem an adequate analogy to banning someone from sports: if a burglar was sentenced to death we would be taking all he has and also permanently punishing his loved ones. By banning a sportsman we take away his career, but he is free to pursue anything else and continue life in his community, contributing to it. We may consider taking back some of the winnings as punishment. Removing someone from a circle of trusted athletes is not really a punishment -- it's a punishment for that community to endure such misconduct.

Hey HN, thank you to Federal taxpayers, who funded matching grants to bayou and watershed changes that, even in an incomplete state, have saved many houses and people. The article focuses on an incomplete big set piece that if fully funded would have likely starved the myriad smaller improvements that have made life better for a large number of people and done nothing for this week's disaster.

Everywhere I go I see the things people have done to mitigate weather events:
* commercial buildings with high water dams
* freeway underpass pumping stations
* new suburban neighborhoods and commercial centers with large water retention zones that become parks and playing fields in the 99% of the time they aren't underwater
* infill housing in existing neighborhoods that is raised on piers to protect people without displacing water needlessly
* regional sized water retention ponds for established neighborhoods that have become wetlands for migratory waterfowl and local wildlife.

Is there a lot left to be done? Sure. Could what is being done be done better? Sure, we learn all the time. I think learning is the reason why the current semi-organic approach is sound. The glass may be half empty or half full, but the fill rate is moving in a direction of increased storm resilience (which this week is toward empty for sure ).

Facebook's trackers (predominantly) link back deterministically to a logged in Facebook account. Your account on Facebook is linked to a list of known devices/browsers that you use (verifiable as when you try to log in to a device or browser that you don't use regularly, Facebook will prompt you).

I used "goal" to mean his "overall goal" of showing optimized C libraries instead of pure Python for various scenarios. (My response to poster hojijoji objection to C libraries.) Using C libs is not an invalid benchmark if one understands why the author used them.

Yes, when the author didn't change both Python AND Julia fibonacci examples in exactly the same 1-for-1 manner, it does detract from his overall message because it invites nitpicking. (The nitpicking is reasonable if you're hyperfocused on that fibonacci example.)

Based on your other responses in this thread, you seem to want him to write Python-vs-Julia benchmarks that's suitable for benchmarksgame[1]. You have a valid perspective but that's not the article he claimed to write.

While it should not be necessary tactic for ending the war on drugs, don't brandish the label "phony" when it comes to the medical benefits for marijuana and MDMA.

Marijuana has been extensively studied, more so than almost any other prescription drug available today, and its medical benefits are clearly established.

MDMA is not quite as over-exhaustively studied, but it's similarly been shown in a multitude of studies to have real medical benefit. Moreover, that medical benefit is for a disorder which is currently not possible to treat effectively with any other drug available, which makes it all the more important.
