I'll just put one citation into this discussion. Raj Chetty and his collaborators produce amazing research. I attended a talk when he visited New Zealand a few years ago. In this paper he's attempting to address the dream of measuring teacher value, by measuring changes in test scores against changes in lifetime income.

Yes there are other ways of measuring teacher "value" too, but income changes are relevant to this discussion, since they tell us how much a teacher could theoretically ask for in "commission". The paper suggests that an average teacher vs a bottom 5% teacher makes a $250,000 lifetime difference in income (present value).

Take a look. He does a neat job controlling for different factors, trying to tease causality out of correlation.

Not really. To be honest, the existing UX for trust relationships is hardly near optimal. Nobody needs to understand what CAs and PKIs are. I actually think the proper UI could make it pretty smooth and understandable by the layperson. All a user needs to be asked is "Whom would you trust to certify that the websites you visit are genuinely those they claim to be?" and be presented with a few reasonable options, such as perhaps (1) Default (recommended), (2) Certification companies (Verisign, Thawte, etc.), (3) Government agencies (e.g. CIA, NSA, etc.), (4) Other/Custom (advanced).

Everyone needs to understand one simple fact:

The PRIMARY use of Facebook should be to post about stuff like this, explaining all the ways Facebook is unethical.

Note: write something like "I saw this article that really made me think… and you should get in touch with offline to learn more about what's going on in my life" and no link. Then you can link to this article in the comments. Facebook has decided that links that get people to leave Facebook are bad, so you have to pretend your post is about something personal.
I'm not sure FUSE is all that useful for that. It still goes through the kernel and additionally roundtrips through userspace again. I think the only advantage is the convenience of not having to do kernel development to make a filesystem. I.e. anything you could do with FUSE, you could do in the kernel with fewer copies and context switches.

I'm also not aware of any FUSE filesystems that directly access block devices. They usually have network or other filesystem backends.
I can see how it might seem click-baity but I am pretty sure it wasn't intentional or malicious. Nextplatform is a site about high-performance, exascale computing. If you're on the site then it's not click-baity since the article is exactly what you would expect. The issue is that if you're on a link aggregator like HN then you lose that context.

The 2nd best thing after uninstalling the fb app from the phone was to log out from it in my laptop's browser, make sure my password is a generated one (so I can't enter it manually) and also make sure it won't autocomplete when I go to facebook.com.

Now if I want to access it I have to open the Password Manager, copy the password and then paste it ... which are too many steps for me to take in order to check it out :)

So, in the past 1-2 months I think I spent in total 1-2 hours on facebook.

Something that I think people underestimate is just how easy it is to observe you entering your password on a phone, and why that (in my opinion) makes thumbprints much more secure than passwords for casual usage - e.g. every-time you unlock your phone.

All you need is a camera over your shoulder and you don't even need to observe the key-presses as generally the current character is displayed on screen. You could likely observe 100s or 1000s of them a day with an overhead camera at transit stations and the like.

The same thing goes for "Tap And Go" contact less payments not requiring a PIN number under $100. Everyone goes on about how people can run up a few hundred dollars at different stores with your card if they steal it. But consider exposing your pin to surveillance during most common transactions which then also lets you remove cash from an ATM with that card if stolen which is much harder to recover and is also much higher value than the generally $30-$100 limit for transactions without a PIN.

Next minute you'll freak out when I tell you I can clone your house key from a photo of it hanging off your belt...

The general point is that security trade-offs are generally deeper than you might realise on the surface, especially at "public outrage" levels of observation which so frequently haunt the public mind in recent times.

Can they charge you with destruction of evidence when they have no idea if/what evidence was on the phone?
Historians do try to figure out the "real story", and much have been written about the "historical Jesus", but the practice of finding natural explanations of supernatural events is not well regarded because it is often purely speculation.

I used the example of Jesus walking on water in another thread. A natural explanation might be it was a cold day and there was actually ice on the lake. Sure this is a possible explanation, but there is absolutely no evidence and no way to substantiate such a theory, and it is clear our closest sources did believe he walked on water. So from a historians standpoint the ice-explanation is useless.

Furthermore these natural explanations often are a bit naive since they take the stories at face values and just try to explain away the supernatural aspects. Isn't it actually more plausible the event s just a legend or myth rather than Jesus actually walked on ice?

As for the resurrection, which the "swoon theory" tries to explain naturally, be aware that the oldest known version of the oldest Gospels doesn't even feature a resurrected Jesus. Just an unidentified white-clad guy which says Jesus is resurrected. You don't really medical explanations for how this could come to happen.

True, and of course they can arrest you the instant they let you in.
> Looking at the article, the only real difference now appears to be that you can't just use TouchID, you're forced to use the passcode.

That's part of it. Another part is that the passcode has to be entered after the device has been connected to the computer, as opposed to starting with an unlocked phone (maybe you took it while it was in use, maybe you forced the user to unlock it) and connecting it to a computer later.
HR KPIs: What Hiring Metrics Do You Need to Track?
Any posts you'd recommend?
Wasn't there a slogan that went like this: local solutions for a global problem ?
Most unixes (including Linux) always report files to be readable under select()/poll()/epoll() so this doesn't actually help read from disks (even when they're backed by network/shared storage). That's why you often see this kind of seeming "nonsense" in HPC startup scripts:

for x in *; do cat "$x" & done | pipeline ...

Furthermore, in a networked-environment, select()/poll()/epoll() actually decrease concurrency compared to threads because now you need another system call to go fetch the data from the kernel. If I've got the CPUs I'd rather use threads.

In the Windows model (in contrast), the programmer says "when this data is available (from this socket, file, etc), put it here (into this memory buffer)" and then waits for the kernel to do something. As a result, you skip that extra syscall -- but you also skip any other read you might have needed to do for data that's arrived at (roughly) the same time. AIO[1] is potentially similar, but it never seems to benchmark well in my experience.

> checking for key existence is generally only amortized constant (that is to say, not constant across all lookups)

What you just described is "average" not "amortized". Amortized does not mean "across a set of representative inputs", it means "through time, even if given the same input repeatedly".

Amortized complexity is tricky sometimes. For instance, in a data structure storing a binary integer and allowing an increment operation, the number of bits flipped is amortized O(1). The same is true if the only operation is decrement. Neither is true if you have both increment and decrement!

Another example: you can change the accounting to make things amortized lower cost. For instance, a heap (aka implicit priority queue) can be said to have O(1) deleteMin by simply ascribing an extra O(log n) cost to each insert. In fact, you can say deleteMin has O(0) cost! An example of this being done in the literature is https://arxiv.org/abs/0903.4130, "Pairing Heaps with Costless Meld", by Amr Elmasry.

If you're talking about the fact that many African Americans are about 20% European genetically, but many share "hip hop culture" or African American culture, or whatever, that seems somewhat of a contrived point and it's not clear exactly what the point is you're meaning to make.

If your talking about the often vaunted genetic diversity on the continent of Africa, that has no bearing on the existence of clusters of relative genetic similarity around the world we have come to refer to variously as ethnicity, race, population group, etc. In fact that African genetic diversity supports the reality of distinct population groups and ethnicities because it is a bunch of genetic material that other groups don't have.

The very basis for ethnicity/race/population groups is a genomic "alphabet"/string within certain bounds. In considering the global level distinctions between populations it makes no difference the level of genetic diversity in any particular group.

The defining factor is that various groups share traits that no other group does.

Asians and Europeans have stretches of DNA that we've determined through the magic of modern science come from an extinct species of human called Neanderthals. None of these stretches of DNA are found in Africans.

Likewise, Africans have stretches of DNA that come from as yet identified extinct species, these stretches of DNA aren't found in Asians or Europeans.

Then of course there are the myriad other genetic structures that while having origins in the ancestors of all living humans have nonetheless diverged through the process of evolution over the millennia into reliable genetic markers for the various population groups.

And it is true that ethnic groups are defined as well by visual appearance, for example cranium shape and size, nostril diameter, length of nasal bridge, hair color/texture etc. but these things aren't the result of members of your culture gathering around at your birth and molding these things like clay, these things are encoded in genes and what molded their shape into your genes are evolutionary pressures in your ancestral environment.
Well, it quite helped me. At least I don't need to talk to them. However, some of them still insist on calling me. I think legal approach is the best way for us to make them stop, like what I read at http://www.whycall.me/news/consumer-wins-massive-229500-robo... about a well-known company which has been sued by a consumer because of telemarketing calls/robocalls.
It's gamey, which means a couple of things:

1) It holds up against marinades very well, which also help to retain some moisture when cooked. Marinade cubes overnight then cook on skewers, for example. Ditto steaks, probably.

2) It goes really well in curries and stews where the flavour of the spices/sauce overpowers weaker meats. Think recipes where you'd use beef or venison.

I like roo and I should probably eat more of it than I do and substitute it for beef sometimes. I think primarily in fluid-based slow-cooker meals where the leanness doesn't necessarily cause it to dry out as it's got fluids to keep it tender.

I'd imagine it'll look similar to how cash is laundered today. It used to be you'd need some tangible real-estate to look at least vaguely legitimate on the surface. However with more big business moving away from the high street, it's easier than ever to spin up a company, slap together a website.

Would be trivial to accept and process these payments.

Another avenue might be some kind of mutual fund. A building society for the grey market. One where your paper trail would tie you to a fund used for illicit goods, but not directly to your particular flavour of illicit good. That'd require a great deal more work though... And comes with the obvious risks.

Final thought there's always replacing cash. After all cash is just paper we all agree has value. If the underground markets can find a similar good with similarly agreed value that might work. I've heard of phone scammers requesting their mark's buy gift cards/vouchers. Presumably they're monetizing the voucher on their end somehow.

The goal of a cashless society seems to be more in line with the even greater transparent creation of money. These "we can track criminal financiers!" soundbytes sound more like the cursory glance reason you'd give the public.

Largely cashless societies recently seem to have either been deeply entrenched in the financial industry, or rife with wider corruption. Both of those will want to continue in a clandestine manner. The law might not apply to the rich, but you can bet you'll be slapped down for not at least trying to hide it. I can't imagine a system cashless or otherwise that didn't have at least some mechanism to move wealth without fanfare.
You understand genetic similarity does not mean you look similar or come from the same tribe necessarily?

So one time I bought tickets to a concert from Stubhub. Then the headliner cancelled their appearance due to unforeseen circumstances and what not. But the concert was not cancelled as there were extra acts who would still perform. The headliner's website informed ticket holders that they could get a full refund "at the place of purchase" if they wanted. I asked Stubhub about that, their reply was (I'm paraphrasing): "Get f..cked. No refund, no nothing.. We don't care."
