I've worked on several (poorly designed) systems where the SSN is used as a primary key. In itself, the SSN is not for identification, but as a primary key, it is used to aggregate tons of data about a person. Just think of the scores of databases where data elements exist that are associated by SSN.

It's the possession of that primary key linking all of our data that is the security issue.

Most (all?) carriers in the US have shifted from subsidization to a leasing model (with ability to trade in your leased phone typically at 12 months).

However, it's still smaller monthly payments; few I suspect buy the device up-front.

Latter has happened quite a few times in experience. Algorithm performed as designed on the training or example set just to fail terribly on real life data.

Or someone handwaved important things like having an information function be available (impossible, used only in proofs of correctness, way of estimating it is critical).

Or a key assumption on input was just mentioned somewhere in the depths of the paper.

Or a very specific way of measuring the result hides the deficiencies. (Similar to p-hacking or misusing stats in medicine.)
The problem is that we are losing the simple jobs. You have a lot of people with a basic education, who could do good simple work. The push for higher level of education kind of work is removing them from the market.

In Germany, the net effect is that you thousands of apprentice positions free and at the same time thousands of people looking for such positions. The requirements of today's positions are now to high for many young people.

So we have a gap between educated people and worker people which is growing extremely fast. This results in a society which is polarizing itself more and more. This is not good on the long term.

I wouldn't necessarily go along with your logic here. If you decide not to have children for one reason or another you can implement that decision without suicide. A lot of people have suicidal thoughts at some stages in their lives, then recover and are glad they didn't take a non-reversible action.

Anyway, it's too dangerous a topic for you to work things out without a bit of "peer review". So I strongly recommend to contact a counsellor.

Sales commissions are an interesting example. A hard cap can probably have bad psychological effects. But squeezing commissions down overall (by reducing the percentages or some other approach) is unlikely to have the same bad effect.
So from this story, we now know that:

1. A woman at a law firm earned less points for reasons and thus got paid less.

2. The firm claims this was commensurate with her performance.

3. She says it was not.

4. Other women at the same firm disagreed with her.

5. Therefore all female partners at all law firms in the US are being paid less? Or is the title of this article just click-bait?

Also in this case, lets not forget she has had six kids. Regardless of how PC you want to be you cannot possibly argue that this HASN'T had at least SOME practical impact to her career and ability to perform her in her role. To be fair, it's probably had a similar impact on her husband as well - kids take up a lot of your thoughts and time it's totally normal.

Maintaining your own fork means you are taking de-facto responsibility for the maintenance of more projects in addition to your paying projects.

The costs of keeping them current adds up surprisingly quickly.

In fact, it adds up so quickly that my company has a standing policy in place that we will do _whatever_it_takes_ to have any pull requests we need in an upstream project integrated in order to avoid us having to maintain a fork.

What this means in practice usually is that getting the pull request accepted becomes the primary focus for one of the senior engineers for the 1-2 weeks it takes to get it into a shape that the project maintainer can work with.

As you can imagine this is also expensive, but it's a fraction of the cost of maintaining our own fork of the project.

So - here's my offer to Libré, Free and Open Source Software maintainers everywhere:

I will _gladly_ pay the cost of 1 week of a senior engineer's salary to have you accept my pull request if you are prepared to either:

1) do the quality control work yourself or…

2) hold the hand of one of my junior engineers while they learn how to do it.
Yes but perhaps we don't need a bigger pie, we just need it shared more widely.
>What if you just want to replace the same amount of energy you get from meat with energy from vegetables? Well, then, to put it very simply, you need to eat a lot of vegetables.

You generally just need to eat the right vegetables. Take beans or potatoes for example - you definitely won't starve when you incorporate the right kind of vegetables into your diet.

Any too restricted diet is also unhealthy, so "to put it simply" just doesn't cut it when talking about diets.

a bit further down the article, this is stated:

Yes.

This kind of technique, and the exploitation of minor CPU errata, can be used to help differentiate processor models and steppings.

That in turn allows a currently widespread DRM system to download personalised portions of object code that rely on properties specific to the licensed hardware in order to execute properly, in an attempt to counter debugging, emulation and transfer - continuing a tradition practised in copy protection techniques since at least the 6502, maybe even earlier.
Alas, if I still had my Nokia 1100 from a decade ago, it would now be useless to me - not because the device has failed, but because Australia no longer has GSM/2G phone networks as of this year...

Except you are comparing a 749$ phone with a 220$ and 60$ ones.

You could buy a new Moto G every 2 years and you would still have an up-to-date phone that is more economical than an iPhone, if OS-updates are your main worry (on average, I believe Apple supports devices up to 5 years, which objectively is a lot).

That without considering how well old phones work with newer OSs, my iPhone 4 did technically work with the last supported update, but the performance hit was so big it made it a pain to use.

You can say the exact same for PCs, which could have stopped getting any performance improvements about 5 years ago and the general populace wouldn’t have complained at all.
Some government agency should publish a list of all SSNs, thereby ultimately destroying the illusions that SSNs are secret.

If anybody still uses SSNs for authentication afterwards, they are grossly negligent.
In what world is a chip from 2014 a half decade old? Most of the phones in that price bracket will be using a Snapdragon 410 or similar.
What's the bet the really secret instructions are hidden behind special conditional decode logic? I.e. the cpu wont even ask for the next byte if some register value is not set, possibly a secret register that first needs to be set via some other hidden instruction. Make that a sequence of 3 hidden instructions combined with arbitrary register and immediate values, and you won't get close to identifying them in a billion years.

I mean if you worked for Intel and your manager said "make me a really secret instruction" would your best response be "lets just not document it and hopes noone notices"?

What I would give to read the full microcode of the latest Intel processor. I am guessing it is stored in a vault with the real nuclear codes, Alien cadavers and the Holy Grail.
"The trend started by minifiers like UglifyJS and continued by transpilers like Babel will only accelerate."

Those were predated by Closure Compiler, which was started with Gmail, and Closure Compiler in some ways still doesn't have an equal. Besides being a fully optimizing compiler, it also has a module system for code splitting, and optimization passes designed to move code at the method/property level from initially loaded code into deferred loaded code if it is detected to only be used later.

You can see this in action with photos.google.com which splits up every UI component, model, and controller into a dependency tree of modules, which are aggressively optimized. When an action needs to fire, only the transitive dependency of reachable code needed to handle it is loaded.

The closest external version of this is Malte Ubl's"Splittables" for Closure Compiler (https://medium.com/@cramforce/introducing-splittable-1c882ba...)

Awesome, thanks. I've seen the name mentioned several times, but I didn't know what was behind.

It seems (unsurprisingly for an hardware abstraction) that performance is a problem, but at least it's a problem that is being worked on. Maybe at some point we will stop to think "we can't implement that, that's way too massive to perform properly" and start thinking "this is a job for the GPU" :) At the very least, databases come to mind, with their sorting/filtering of massive data.
I don't mean to sound utterly petty, but most security threats these days seem to be external to the device you are using.

Yes it sucks when a windows xp machine catches a massive virus from a random website.

Limit historical data to fit your “conclusion”, pick the data set(s) that fit(s) your “conclusion” best and eliminate or highlight data points that are far-out.
Two practical applications from top of my head:

* Do you want to build an index (for big data?), so that you can access your data fast (thing about a database). Well, the index construction is likely to do some sorting internally.
* MapReduce algorithm has indeed more phases... one of it is sorting...so yes, when you are porocessing big data with map reduce, then the data is being sorted at some point.
Eric Schmidt has said he uses an iPhone. Elon Musk uses an iPhone 7. Mark Zuckerburg uses a MacBook Air. Travis Kalnick uses an iPhone. Most people who I know that work as engineers at Google and Facebook in the US use iPhones. But sure, they are weak and stupid and you are enlightened.

The iPhone 7 which released last year is more powerful than the Galaxy S8. Android phones lag embarrassingly behind in terms of CPU performance, disk write speeds, and software updates. If those things don't matter to you, I suppose you could get an Android phone for the AMOLED screen(though the new iPhone is reportedly going to have that too) or customization.

But to say that the only reason people buy iPhones is because they're stupid is embarrassing, really. I mean Apple weren't the company that have customers refusing to give back a phone which literally catches on fire.

Update to FastMail terms of service
I must be the exception here as I spend no more than an hour on my iPhone (6s) each day.

I use Apple Music, WhatsApp, and the camera. However, WhatsApp is available on Android and the camera on the iPhone 6s still doesn't even come close to that of an SLR so I tend to use that and keep the iPhone in my pocket. When I take photos, I have gone out with the intention of taking photos, so there is no convenience factor of an iPhone for me.

However, I also love cars. You can take them out for fun on a weekend, show them off and talk to other owners at meets, drive them on tracks all over the world, and, if you made sensible choices, have the depreciation of an iPhone make a car look like an investment. Meanwhile, everyone and their mother has an iPhone - there is no novelty to owning one.

Thus, until I start getting more out of an iPhone, I can't help but think how a Moto G and an extra $800 in pocket to spend on something else would give me so much more pleasure than the next iPhone.
How 9/11 Inspired Google News (and MapReduce)
A lot depends on what's meant by "wine" and the price range involved.

I like port, for example. I usually have a bottle sitting in my apartment so that I can pour a glass after dinner and drink it while relaxing.

And even without an "educated palate" I -- and other people I've invited to blind-taste who knew less than I did about it -- can taste the difference between, say, a $30 bottle and a $100 bottle. It's not a subtle thing at all; it's a massive difference.

But that's not because of the price; the price reflects the manner of production and the actual quality of the product. The cheap bottle is a blend of wine from several different years, and possibly different producers, may have been just dumped in steel tanks after fermentation to await bottling, etc., while the more expensive stuff is often going to be from a single year and/or single producer, barrel-aged, and so on. This produces a large and obvious difference in the way it tastes.

Once you get into that tier of well-produced port, you won't see much in the way of big jumps in quality for paying more. The difference between, say, a $200 bottle and a $100 bottle is much less than between the $100 bottle and the $30 bottle, despite the larger price jump. At that point you're mostly hunting for particular years which were known to be good, and are expensive because of that plus their scarcity.

MINIX 3?
I don't think so.

Browsers will catch up with what developers want.

We have seen that with ActiveX, Flash, Java applets, jQuery etc. Every time tech was needed because "The browser alone is not good enough" the browser became better and made the additional tech obsolete.
Or, any other IM program (including text messages). Or getting directions. Or checking departure time of a bus. Or switching a song that's playing. Or turning my Hue lights on/off. Or checking my account balance. Or paying with the phone.

Each of those actions should take no more than couple of seconds (occasionally, a couple dozen). And it can, if your phone is not lagging out after lockscreen or when trying to load an on-screen keyboard.
But you throw your phone at the wall once a week? I think your problem requires a different solution.
Create a sampling bias. When you want to prove cats are more popular than dogs, survey people buying cat food. If you want to prove the opposite then survey people buying dog food. Quite a lot of the statistics you read in otherwise reputable news organisations will have sampling errors like this, sometimes intentionally.
You misunderstood -- the parent said this is already the case. A lot of FOSS is already heavily subsidized, from grants and tax money. No "would"s needed.

And yes, it definitely makes it harder for indie developers to "compete", because these institutions run on infinite slave labour (students and postdocs). The only way to compete is on quality, which brings us back to the original "who pays for quality time" premise.
I have a 5S and it still gets updates and works the same as the other poster described. I haven't even replaced the battery and still get a days usage.
Many other countries have these exact cards. They are not new technology.

In fact, your US passport has that. Look for the biometric symbol on the front. It means there's a chip inside (not sure how to read off it) that includes your digitally signed identity details, including photo.

If you're willing to go the centralized route, then a minimalist ID card would just be a QR code that anyone can open and compare the official photo to you.

That reads like a statement of faith. Show me the data.
Yeah, webassembly is kinda changing this.
I would rather suggest the opposite: the compilers will be moved out of frameworks, because they will become more and more powerful and general purpose, so that there is no need to handle framework specific things.

When we have web assembly and compilers like the Kotlin compiler that can translate a high-level language to web assembly, there is little need for framework specific compilation.
Yeah, except it took browsers a decade to get better enough, and the road towards getting better is mired by compatibility problems, requiring tons of expertise to deal with that sort of stuff. But developers want to build useful stuff yesterday, and users demand good experiences the day before yesterday.
[removed due to witch hunting]
So your argument is that because the credit reporting companies may raise prices as a result of being sued for their bad actions we should prohibit anyone from suing them and allow them to operate with out any legal liability.

They should be allowed to create databases of ruin, not secure those databases, sell this data to who ever and no one should have any legal recourse because prices might go up if they were found to be liable...

Really? That is your position

I have a problem with these credit reporting agencies even being legal in the first place. I have a problem with the fact I have almost no control over the data they collect, and sell about me, I have a problem the fact they can sell this data about me to whom ever they wish with out my permission, and I have problem with the fact they charge me to access this data in any meaningful or real time manner, sure they are legally required to give me a report 1 time per year, a regulation they also tried to kill, but if I want meaningful access I have to pay them a monthly fee to access my own data.

So it is safe to say I 100% disagree with your position, these credit reporting agencies should face bankruptcy for breaking the public trust. This data breach should mean Equifax as a company is dissolved, unfortunately due to flawed and unethical arguments like the one you are making this company will likely make a profit off this data breach

This concept predates Americans by a number of years; it certainly wasn't invented there. The idea can be traced to ancient Greek and was already applied by the Romans.

Few seconds waiting for what? There's a big difference between a few seconds waiting for an app to load and, say, for it to register that you've tapped a key on its on-screen keyboard.
