The thing about security is that there is a point where you end up locking yourself out.

Locking your data to your hardware raises the question of what would happen if the hardware failed? Also at first glance this seems to introduce difficulties with scalability across multiple machines. Also it might make it difficult to switch between infrastructure providers.

The cost of this approach should be mentioned as a footnote.

Maybe the better solution is for society to support more small tech companies with smaller user bases that have fewer dissatisfied rogue employees to leak hashed passwords in the first place.

The root of the problem is not technical, it's political.
Just to add on to your point, notice the writer is on the Board of a VC firm that does business inside and outside SV. I see huge potential for him trying to deface SV for the sake of his other projects.
This looks like a pretty good technique, that's coming from someone who has collected 240GB+ of user:password dumps.

I certainly wouldn't get 16TB of disks just for that if it were ever leaked.

Bummer(not for me :p) that you guys went the route of patenting it and keeping it proprietary & only available through an API.

I think it would be adopted in no time if it were open source, and I'd definitely like to see something like this available as a service on clouds like GCP/AWS/Azure/etc for my day job.

While in principle it sounds great, the reality is it wouldn't function or scale properly and would be dangerously close to causing the same problems that many Communist countries face (from apathy of the populous to manipulation by those that have).
Thanks for the response, To be more precise to the second part of my question: I was more wondering how the 300k would be decided; e.g. why not 400k or 200k? (Personally that seems like a very acceptable salary, but if non-executives are scaled down to something commensurate as opposed to squeezing the distribution, that becomes harder to sell.)
I conceded what now? What I did is something called “arguing in the alternative,” and that only by the narrowest of margins.

Well, that and lawyers. Even getting academic collaborations approved gets super complicated once lawyers are concerned about patents, etc.

ORMs aren't a bad idea; they just aren't a drop-in replacement for in-memory data structures for traditional imperative languages. They drop in rather well for functional languages though. Also, many ORMs are simply flat-footed, but we shouldn't fault ORMs generally any more than we should call C "slow" because some compiler is particularly bad.
At some point I looked for Windows Phone device with a decent audio output so I could enjoy my lossless paid subscription to services like Tidal.

I wasn't able to select a Windows Phone. There were several models but none of it made an explicit accent on sound quality. As a last resort I looked to external DACs and it turned out that Windows Phone didn't support them either.

I just went and bought a second hand iPhone 6 with a good discount. The sound quality I got from it was decent and I became a happy Apple customer one more time (had iPhone 4 and other Apple gears before).

So a statement that the hardware was never the problem is a bit of a stretch. Everything accumulates pretty quickly and every detail has an impact.
If it's included with Windows, then people definitely still use it. The people-you-know circle is just a tiny subset of the people-who-use-Windows circle, and the people-you-know circle likely skews towards the more technically inclined if you're a HN user.
I never thought about car companies being able to use their dealerships for their fleets. That will actually be a pretty huge advantage in smaller towns where there won't be enough business to have the cars driving continuously.
Their "tech team" includes the content producers/writers/managers/web marketing for their website, which I suspect is a sizable (if not majority) chunk. It's not really comparable to a software-heavy company having a 62% female tech team. So yes, it makes sense that having people who are traditionally much more interested in make up would be attracted to these positions.

It could be possible that you are not as good at JavaScript as you think you are (even if you are the best at your company). Even if you are a top 10% JavaScript expert in the applicant pool, if they interview 100 people they saw 9 people better than you.
He makes valid points, but in defense of an original ridiculous statement that the articles suggestions are extremely dangerous. There are all sorts of benefits to an ACID database, it's just not reasonable to scream about the necessity of it because reboots are scary.
You should work for whatever you can negotiate; and you are worth what someone is willing to pay you.

That being said, in order to align with their values of transparency, they shared an algorithm that makes sense. It's not the only way to do it, but it's transparent and doesn't seem unreasonable.

Startups are about alignment to the big picture and long-term. I'd imagine that's why they don't change equity based on location. However, The free market being what it is, some will take it and others won't.
That chart is not a source for your claim. Not really interested in arguing the point further.
HSMs all have a way of enrolling multiple units into a shared state so that you can have them all be logically equivalent.

> if you don't use an ORM, you'll invent one yourself

Not true. You may use a graph database, or write SQL statements & apply functional transformations. Or you might be using a platform like smalltalk & just save your image. There are other paradigms besides OOP & relational databases.

> new hires will end up taking a ton of time to learn this "custom" orm framework of yours.

Or your new hire might really know how to leverage the particular database you're using, but you force him to throw away a lot of his experience & to start over from scratch & instrument the database through an ORM layer. There are a lot of ORMs, their APIs may even differ, so someone who knows Propel still has to stop & read the docs if you're using Doctrine, for example.

> it showed a true lack of knowledge of the ORM at hand and even SQL in general.

Quite the opposite, anyone who can craft a query that complex obviously knows the tool well. Their real problem is knowing when to not use that tool. Or they just write bad code, regardless of what tool/langauge they're using, for whatever reason.
The big problem is that they do want handouts; just of a different kind. Jobs retraining programs have been around for quite a while; they were central to Clinton's plan for what to do with people who used to work in coal mines. But they don't want to stop mining coal, no matter how shitty it is for everyone involved (the miners themselves, the environment, those who live near coal plants, etc). They want to keep the coal mining jobs. They want... a handout.
Is Android inextricably coupled with the Google App store? For thought experiment's sake: could Microsoft fork Android and then host their own app store that supports the same apps that a dev would submit to Google's App store, thus making it possible for devs to get their android apps listed in both stores merely by submitting the app twice?

(Serious question. I know nothing about app stores and/or mobile operating systems)
> I've always thought that slamming their open comp policy is hilarious. They're one of the most open companies about how they handle comp and the result is they get insulted for it.

Well, they openly discriminate based on zipcode. It's their right as a business but it runs counter to the internet age remote-work utopia everyone wants. Kudos to them for even running a remote-work business, though. We need more of them.
There's a semi-contradiction in your post that I think speaks to some of the issues MS had:

"It started with windows phone 8 and the Metro UI. Bad Idea. The UI was too far away from Android/iPhone to be easily ported "

"half-baked half-assed phone plattform that at no point had even a single feature that wasn't available better on iOS and Android"

As someone who played around with WP7 when it first came out, I'd argue that the Metro UI was the best one available at the time. But the side effect of that is that it was different, and difficult to adapt an existing app to.

Essentially, MS needed to make a bold new platform with inventive new features, but also make the platform very compatible with the other major mobile platforms. You can't easily square that circle. Now, MS also messed up in a million and one ways (like my phone never getting a WP8 upgrade...) but I think their fundamental challenge was very, very difficult.
Wow, really? That seems unusual - how are you defining "team"? I use it to describe a group of about 7-10 people and I have definitely seen many of them with no women.
How to Win at Deep Learning
SQL strings in source code are worse than ORMs, even if you move it out to a resources file of some kind.

No one likes copying the SQL command to a SQL IDE, making some changes, running it to make sure it works, and then copying it back to source. If you don't do that, you're dropping all of the productivity that syntax checkers do for you and risk losing productivity to typos or other dumb mistakes.

That's not true at all. Clinton had plans with job retraining for coal miners. They were offering jobs. They got swept because Trump came in and said, "We'll keep coal mining," despite having no actual plan for what to do.
So, like the pixel 2?
I think this is roughly how Amazon's FireOS fork works.
I could have told them almost a decade ago that the whole Microsoft mobile/phone thing was doomed from the very start. It's amazing to me that it was so obvious to me then, and yet the smartest highest-paid people at Microsoft couldn't figure it out. Unbelievable.
Yes it's possible.
It's exactly what Amazon is (was?) trying to pull off.

Do they have any idea what they are writtining about? o.O'
To extend my thoughts a bit.

Yes, I believe that some sectors might be worse than others. There are metrics and tools provided by the Software Engineering discipline to measure quality of architecture or code. However, they have remained mostly academic. There is no standard metric, which is widely accepted to be useful. And even if some rare(?) company might systematically measure their code base, they don't put the results in the their home page and not even in the contract with their customer.

As long as that does not change, it's just more or less educated feeling where the situation might be better or worse than elsewhere.
> I think ORMs are there to make developing easier

Only for object oriented apps, where you want to tightly link behavior to your objects. For other kinds of app architectures, there may be no relational/object oriented mismatch to smooth out.
Tottaly. While ACM, IEEE, and similar organizations provide some of this information and do substantial outreach, more progress on this type of work would benefit everyone.
Yes, you can't do something like this in Rust, you'd be doing what's in the quote above; named params are it. You have to do the attribute access/method call when binding the parameter, not applying it to a parameter somehow.

Interesting Job: Director of Operations at the Open Philanthropy Project
I seen a commercial advertising googles "home" device and was a cringeworthy moment. The partner to the NSA, the SJW brigade is now trying to have me purchase something that sits in my home and reminds me of what a pathetic corporation it has become. No thanks.
Does anyone have the link to this paper?

I am curious if that millions in revenue is for Microsoft (not surprising) or advertisers (more interesting) - I would love to read through their thought process either way.
Do you plan to take into account the developer cost? BigQuery is more managed than Redshift so that definitely factors into the "real world" cost analysis.

Renault Energy Services launched to boost smart-grid charging
As much as I loved Windows Phone (I bought 4 of them), the app development side was never mature enough to take seriously by most professionals. The support from Microsoft on the development side was pretty limited, outside of "hey, we're MS, you need to do this!"

At the time, the Metro theme seemed like a novel and interesting idea. In hindsight, mimicking the UX of iOS (which is exactly what Android did), was the correct path. Had MS made the Windows Phone look exactly like iOS, but offered an easier app dev story, there _might_ have been a chance to grow their market share.

But in reality, I doubt there is anything MS could have done to rebuild their mobile presence. Apple and Android are an unassailable juggernaut from a consumer's perspective and even I succumbed.

After buying the Nokia 1020, which was a phenomenal piece of hardware, MS started tinkering with core apps like the calendar and email. There was this fanfare of purchasing third party apps and adapting them, but this was the deal-breaker for me. These two apps (which I installed with an early beta of Windows 10 Mobile) were simply horrible. They were menu oriented. Mobile phone apps shouldn't have menus. Period. Anytime you see a hamburger menu, you're looking at pure UX laziness. When the second update came through and I saw these apps get _worse_....

...I walked out of work, walked the two blocks to the nearest AT&T store, threw the 1020 on the little round table and said, "iPhone 6plus, don't care about color or anything....and I rubber case"...

That was nearly three years ago. I recently upgraded to the 7plus and sold my 6plus for $250. I never even think about apps now. It just works.

My black Nokia 1020 with the recharging case sits in my desk. Worthless.
It seems that most games are not cpu limited if you're anywhere under 80 fps. You really have to crack into super high frame rates to bottleneck on the cpu.
The Future of Animal Consciousness Research
As with others, I would suggest that you consider finding someone who you can collaborate with. That person should be doing research in AI as well. This serves two purposes;

1) It will help you determine if you can explain what you're doing to someone else, well enough that they can duplicate your results. If you cannot do this, then writing a paper will be a failure for you.

2) If they are in academia, then you will not only have someone who already has an understanding of how to get published, they can help with the paper's structure to make it useful for others (increasing the likelihood it will get published).

The challenge is not that you are a "college drop out", the challenge is that you didn't get a chance to learn all of the meta information that college was going to teach you about how to structure a research paper, how to explain the problem and your solution, how to help the reader understand the "big question" you are trying to answer, and the effort you have gone through in making sure you haven't deluded yourself your on to something new (that you have avoided confirmation bias).
It seems like an out of the box overclocked 7700k with more cores. The article says it can not really be further overclocked without liquid cooling. That does suggest it is out of the box overclocked as compared to previous chips.
Does its hotness reduce its lifespan?

But that weirdness aside, nice to see the additional cores, that Intel stayed at 4 cores for the desktop for so long has been unfortunate.
It's not tone deaf. It's tone deaf to not recognize that what these people want is a handout of it's own sort. They want to do the same stuff that they've been doing for the last 50 years. And it sucks for them, but that's just not feasible anymore. Jobs retraining programs have been available, but that's not what they want. They want the economy of the 50s, where they were able to do the same factory job for 30 years.
I was thinking about this the other day when I first started reading the Coffee Lake reviews. This thing runs toasty. Yeah it's fast, but it's hot enough to boil water faster than a US kettle.

I hope the next step on Zen really closes the gap. It's only then we're going to be set for some real innovation from intel.
The article says the company is already 74% female. If 62% female is more diverse than 50% just imagine how diverse a 100% female team would be. Diversity mathematics are tricky like that.
Your examples are too minimal. In most real-world cases there is a bunch of other variables also in scope of the loop. If all those variables are const you know that they are not changed in the loop (or elsewhere), simplifying understanding of the code and also reducing the chance of someone making the code more stateful later.
With default-immutable this const is the default, making it harder to fuck up.
Why not just do what Taco Bell does and have a mobile app for (re)ordering stuff? You can even order ahead of time and just have it ready for pickup/dine-in.
I think you are both correct. Starcraft has a far larger space of verbs at any given moment, and many of them can impact each other, giving it one form of complexity, while Dota2 clearly has a much more complex set of units and abilities, leading to more possibilities total, even if the number of possible actions moment to moment are more limited. But yeah, the bot was a teeny little bit of the game, impressive as it was.
To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Rick and Morty. The humor is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also Rick's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation - his personal philosophy draws heavily fromNarodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realize that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Rick and Morty truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Rick's existencial catchphrase "Wubba Lubba Dub Dub," which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev's Russian epic Fathers and Sons I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Dan Harmon's genius unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools... how I pity them. And yes by the way, I DO have a Rick and Morty tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- And even they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand.
Haven't read yet, but did they test for gaming stuttering, too, or just synthetic benchmarks?

From what I've seen AMD's new Ryzen CPUs do better in maintaining a constant framerate than Intel's CPUs, possibly because AMD's SMT implementation and the switching between threads is better than Intel's.

Also this Intel CPU seems to run hot, which means this is a compromise Intel made to be able to "win" these benchmarks. I wonder what sort of problems that will create in the day to day use of it, or in the long term (dying more quickly?)

Finally, like someone else said, this won't be available for purchase for most people until early 2018. By then AMD's updated Ryzen CPUs should be out. Strange that Intel would give out its chips almost half a year earlier for review...
"The marginally better gaming CPU, that you can't buy until next year."

Yes, but google holds the APIs for their services hostage. So a lot of apps won't work because they need play services, and you don't get play services unless you play ball with google.
