We're doing exactly this at Sonadier (https://www.sonadier.com). We distill the app-making process down to a simple form builder, while giving technical users the ability to write client and server-side JavaScript for extra interactivity. We're doing a full design refresh in the next few weeks, and that update includes a visual workflow builder. We do have a pretty in-depth permission system already built in.

Further down, someone mentioned that a big problem with Access is the proliferation of "autonomous, undocumented systems" built by different teams. I think we shine here - since we're web-based you can host all your forms on one account. In addition, you can share specific create/read/update/destroy permissions with any other organization on the platform - we want to make data exchange painless.

IT is a vast industry. What kind of job do you want to end up with in IT? Do you know yet? Ask yourself what kind of company you want to work for, doing what exactly.

If you don't know, I highly recommend taking a web development elective if your university has one. Web development is like the HVAC of the software industry: a good job that's always in demand.
PostMarketOS is working on this issue! It's an Alpine Linux distro for phones with Wayland and its own UI kit.
Along these lines, I think it was an attempt to not piss off potential donors.

Still though, the US needs to have a good hard look at de-monetizing the prison industrial complex, humanizing post-incarcerated people, and disassembling the economic incentives to use the 13th amendment for disenfranchisement.
IMO, "Not Secure" means a lot more to the layperson than "Not Encrypted". They're trying to push HTTPS adoption by punishing websites that don't use it.

Sure "Not Encrypted" is more accurate, but not everybody is going to know what that means.
Yes, sure it was an impressive R&D program that piggy backed on their production runs.

But it was still an expensive program with Grasshopper test vehicles, lots of failed tests and a reduced capacity on the boosters. "Just a little extra fuel" is a great oversimplification, there's much more than that in doing an atmospheric re-entry.

But a marvelous program it has been and I look forward to seeing their future progress.
If it took as long to build a web app as it did to build a bridge, and as much bureaucracy to go through, tech would be dead. Not every application should be built using NASA-like standards, which is the closest analog I can think of.

>(which is the most common device to be a work phone, and thus also connected to work email and work networks)

So your VPN isn't adding any extra layer of auth? This doesn't seem like a TouchID problem. . .

This is also a security design problem. You shouldn't be transmitting sensitive information via e-mail. If I want sensitive data stored in your e-mail, I'd start with a phishing attack long before I decide that physically jacking your phone and coming up with a complicated finger-print stealing process is the way to go.

>This is not possible on the iPhone,

To unlock the phone. You can add addition layers after the iPhone auths all you want.

>consumers are under the false impression that fingerprints are the best security available, and they become frustrated to learn that Apple has been lying to them when corporate IT tells them fingerprints actually suck

Heh. If your clients trust Apple's marketing more than their own IT people this again speaks to me of a severe communication problem among the IT people.

>You can steal someone's fingerprint by simply having access to something they touched

Not with high enough resolution to reliably fool TouchID in few enough attempts to keep it from passcode locking you out. You're fixation on worst-case scenarios where your adversaries benefit from multiple passes of blind luck doesn't make for great or realistic risk-assessment.

>Network access to a corporate environment that has millions of SSNs, credit card numbers, etc. You think that a few hours of fiddling around with a latex mold is "too much work" for this? Think again.

And you're not monitoring for suspicious activity or any additional access control on a data source that has all that sensitive information? You're just letting people mosey on into it with just their phones without so much as a warning flag going up somewhere?

>Fingerprints are inherently insecure. Using fingerprints for more accounts is, thus, more insecure.

This is both highly simplistic and wrong. For one thing, passwords are also inherently insecure, especially when people write them on sticky notes and put them under their monitors. Secondly, not all accounts need maximal security. Not all activities within an account need to give people access to the maximal extent of their privileges. Insisting on going all out on every single thing people try to do fosters insecure habits and insecure system design. You're making the problem worse.

>Apple refers to TouchID as "the gold standard", "one of the most powerful passwords in the world", says "it is the most advanced technology", calls it "very high security".

None of which is false for the use cases they're talking about. You're talking about access to sensitive PII, which Apple did not tell you to gate behind TouchID. I also have years of experience in Infosec and setting the record straight on things takes all of 30 seconds of explanation and taking the time to understand their business context. All it takes is to not treat your clients with contempt.
Sure. I would probably feel uncomfortable too, but I stop short of saying others should be denied something because I feel uncomfortable. Otherwise, the world would be a very different place.
Never mind the fact that the usual thoughts around logo design would almost guarantee that two different designers at different times could produce similar designs.

I wonder if they might maintain pressurization to increase strength in the event of some mishap, but it's not an instantaneous disaster if pressurization is lost.

I recall reading that they have equipment to maintain pressurization while the boosters are trucked to the launch site as well, so it's not just flight loads, in any case.
Doesn't "The Fappening" count as well? That case when several celebrities got their photos leaked.

I mean, I do maintain Apple is more privacy-friendly than Google but IMO iCloud leaves a lot to be desired still.
If there is one thing I've learned from two decades of reading about labor history, it's: Every gain labor has ever made has been taken. Every gain the working class (i.e. the overwhelming majority of people) has achieved has come from organizing their majority of low-power workers and then standing strongly against the empowered minority at the top.

Good for these people. They are essentially moving our society forward.
If they created photorealistic masks to defeat the 3D mapping and those didn't work, I feel pretty confident in saying that photos won't work.
What kind of apps can be built in the crypto ecosystem?
There were a few blog posts posted here from a payroll company not too far back. They explicitly kept using the term “SFTP” so I have some hope that at least a good portion of banks aren’t completely broken.

EDIT:
http://engineering.gusto.com/how-ach-works-a-developer-persp...

I was misremembering a bit. They said “secure FTP” and then just said FTP thereafter.
With the alternatives of HTTP, HTTPS, rsync, Bittorrent and whatnot, what is the advantage of FTP? Even HTTP clients are more prevalent nowadays.
The main reason for the volatility is that there is no actual use for them, and no entrenched demand via a tax system.

The price of bitcoin can literally fall to zero. With fiat currency, achieving that would require the government losing its power to enforce tax collection.

People losing interest in a fad seems to be a bigger risk than a governmental collapse.
FTPS is quite slow on my gbit machine when uploading large files compared to just FTP. I think it's due to the handshake of SSL.

Next I want to see if FTP over OPENVPN is faster.

Throw this in your ~/bin as a script named math:

#!/bin/sh
scale=4 # results will print to the 4th decimal
echo "scale=$scale; $@" | bc -l

Now you can do math.

$ math '1+1'
2
$ math '2/3'

This is especially useful in shell scripts with interpolated variables:

x=10
x=`math $x - 1`

I was pretty impressed by the result until reaching " a relatively simple search algorithm that searches through possible sets of rules".

CNNs have done such impressive things that "outperforms convolutional neural nets" sounds like an achievement, but CNNs have never been the pinnacle of accuracy - their key advantage is flexibility. Feature learning costs some reliability, but gives a huge advantage in saving human time and effort.

This appears to be exactly the opposite approach, an AI system that gains its accuracy by working from heavily pre-defined rulesets. Feature engineering is fine in a stable, well-understood domain, but it reduces the impressiveness of the 'AI' result. And more worryingly, it cripples the flexibility of the agent in a open domain like "video games".

Hand-authoring a set of functions required to derive the model means embedding a huge portion of the game engine in the engine-learning framework - what's left to learn is basically just parameter values. Mario without powerups is a game entirely defined by 2D movement, collisions, animation, and a tracking camera. That's the same feature list that had to be hand-defined for the engine.

I don't mean to attack the authors. This is still an interesting result, and they do acknowledge this in P2 of 'Limitations'. (Albeit with some lofty claims about eventually understanding real video - are they planning to encode physics as their ruleset?) But the article really oversells the capacity of a system that was spoon-fed the essentials of what it had to learn.

Groovy mainly, along with some Java.
> I've already acknowledged that humans "experience" things, in a colloquial sense.

Thanks for the clarification. Perhaps we don't disagree in the way I thought. Let me see if I understand our divergence.

Because my experiences have a certain consistency, I infer an objective cause. Because this continues to happen, I become increasingly certain about this model (e.g., materialism). In brief, the way I model reality is the result of a particular configuration of experiences. I then use this model to explain the existence of experience itself. So far I hope we're on the same page.

Where I think the divergence happens is in whether a person considers the inferred model (materialism) or the "sheer phenomenon" (colloquially, "experience") to be more fundamental. I think I understand (and respect) why you and others feel it should be the former. Being the sort of person who spends time relaxing my inferences about reality (i.e., "meditating"), I feel it's the latter.

Anyway, I should probably go spend time doing something else. Apologies if I've mischaracterized your views.

Doesn't look like this has been mentioned, but the package names in Arch are beautifully done. No more `libwhatever-2dev` or `whatever9.6-libs`. Just `whatever` and everything you need is installed. That package manager is also one of the fastest of all the distros I've tried.
So what is the issue with systemd? Any strictly better alternative out there?
I like Arch a lot, but these days, I prefer Debian.

That said, even if you don't use Arch, its wiki is a trove of information.

If other governments in the world follow suit, what would happen to bitcoin? I think it could be rather easily marginalised.
I remember the last time something China related happened in 2013 or something. I forgot the exact news but it sent BTC tumbling back to $200-300 in next couple of years before it came back up. If you believe in China's influence that much, then better wait it out. There should be much better price to be had.
I think people get confused by the units. A $4500 to $3500 drop feels worse than a $4.5 to $3.5 drop. Keep reminding people that bitcoins have fractions!
If you're not sampling at an infinite sample rate, you don't need an infinite series of nodes.

Given Nyquist, a non-infinite series of [non-trivial power of 2] nodes will do the job just fine.

Audio FFT/iFFT processing typically uses 512 or 1024 bins, although sometimes you can get away with fewer.

In practice, iFFT doesn't use discrete oscillators for resynthesis, because the whole point of iFFTs is to limit the amount of work you have to do.

But there's no reason in theory a limited number of oscillators couldn't do the job. (I've done resynthesis like this in SuperCollider when I wanted special effects that FFTs can't produce.)

I doubt WA would be fast enough on most machines, but it would probably be possible - if rather dumb - on powerful hardware.
> Not every application should be built using NASA-like standards, which is the closest analog I can think of.

I agree. But more developers should know those standards. Don't call yourself an engineer if you're not willing to follow how legitimate engineers operate.

You write: "The only nation in your list that benefitted greatly from slave labour is the USA".

Quoting https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavery_in_Britain#Triangular_... :

> By the 18th century, the slave trade became a major economic mainstay for such cities as Bristol, Liverpool and Glasgow, engaged in the so-called "Triangular trade".

Further details from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlantic_slave_trade :

> Bristol and Liverpool merchants became increasingly involved in the trade.[92] By the late 17th century, one out of every four ships that left Liverpool harbour was a slave trading ship.[93] Much of the wealth on which the city of Manchester, and surrounding towns, was built in the late 18th century, and for much of the 19th century, was based on the processing of slave-picked cotton and manufacture of cloth.[94] Other British cities also profited from the slave trade. Birmingham, the largest gun-producing town in Britain at the time, supplied guns to be traded for slaves.[95] 75% of all sugar produced in the plantations was sent to London, and much of it was consumed in the highly lucrative coffee houses there. ...

> By far the most financially profitable West Indian colonies in 1800 belonged to the United Kingdom. ...

> It has been estimated that the profits of the slave trade and of West Indian plantations created up to one-in-twenty of every pound circulating in the British economy at the time of the Industrial Revolution in the latter half of the 18th century
I've been less of a fan of "Shawshank Redemption" as I've grown older, cynically seeing it as being overly Pollyannish, but this sounds like a scene right out of it:

> Incarcerated in 1996, Jones worked for five years in the law library at Indiana Women’s Prison, and got certified as a paralegal. She received a bachelor’s degree from Ball State University in 2004, and audited graduate-level classes at Indiana University.

> Her blossoming as a historian began in 2012, when Kelsey Kauffman, a former professor who volunteered at the prison, encouraged inmates to research the origins of their involuntary home, which opened in 1873 as the first adult female correctional facility in the United States. Soon, Jones was placing library requests for reference books and, when they arrived months later, scouring the footnotes for what to order next.
decentralized networks only work to connect centralized nodes... there is always a local authority. a 51% attack allows anyone to disrupt the larger network, so local nodes get more and more locked down to prevent that. even 5% network attacks could still sway opinion or spam and disrupt many local nodes, so the centralized nodes lock down further.

you're all idiots.
> I don't think so. I think people can find a purpose without us imposing one on them.

I didn't mean to say a purpose should be imposed. Today it kind of is. A purpose is often closely tied to a job and a job is pretty much required to survive.

I was trying to convey that we should look for more ways to help people find a purpose or whatever you want to call some activity that is meaningful and fulfilling to that individual and socially healthy.

> If some people just want to hang around, is that really a "problem" we need to address?

Maybe, maybe not. If they are hanging around because it's what they want to do and they are happy and healthy doing so, then I don't see a problem.

She got pregnant at 14 after being raped by a high-school senior, suffered domestic violence from her mother and afterwards in multiple group homes and foster families she was placed in, culminating in a psychological breakdown.

I once had trouble with a client who used his business data solution for uploading data to our server (we support FTP, FTPS and SFTP, and we recommend SFTP + keys). It was an old java-based application with no updates, no SFTP support, and all attempts at FTPS failed in the face of certificate issues (outdated list of CAs, no ability to force a certificate). The client had no understanding of the issue and the technician was an expert for this specific business application, with no ability (or willingness, maybe) to write any sort of script or workaround outside that application.

> "16 bits is enough for everybody"

Not really, the full range of human hearing is over 120db. Getting to 120db within 16 bits requires tricks like noise shaping. Otherwise, simple rounding at 16 bits gives about 80db and horrible sounding artifacts around quiet parts.

It's even more complicated in audio production, where 16 bits just doesn't provide enough room for post-production editing.

This is why the API is floating-point. Things like noise shaping need to be encapsulated within the API, or handled at the DAC if it's a high-quality one. (Edit) There's nothing wrong with consumer-grade DACs that are limited to about 80-90db of dynamic range; but the API shouldn't force that limitation on the entire world.
