"In 2012 TED speaker Cindy Gallop launched a crowdsourced porn site based on her TED Talk, "Make Love Not Porn," which highlights unrealistic expectations about porn sex. Gallop had raised $500,000 from an undisclosed angel investor, but discovered her company "couldn't work with PayPal, couldn't work with Amazon, couldn't work with Google Checkout, couldn't work with any of the main merchant partner gateways."

Gallop said, "So, we thought, let's go back to Chase, we have a business banking account there, let's apply for a commercial account. Unfortunately, that application surfaced the nature of our business within higher levels at Chase. And it resulted in a meeting with a more senior guy, who essentially said to us, not only can we not give you a commercial account, but you now need to close your business bank account and take your business away." "
Kudos to you for preparing the workshop. I think it's fantastic and not enough can be said about how important it is to have effective communication within an organization.

What challenges are you seeing? Are you hearing anything from non-tech side?

My successful transition from introverted developer to becoming a bridge between business and tech boils down to having an attitude of assuming positive intent. Not everyone is perfect and everyone is trying to do their best at their job. Not everyone knows the technical details of things and having strong communication skills to relate the issues to the other party is critical.

Avoid technical jargon and acronyms (business sides are also guilty of this) and always seek to understand.

Also, the medium is the message meaning the platform that you choose to deliver the message will effectively dictate the message itself. Urgent issues should be a face-to-face discussion, less urgent would be email, casual quick questions can be on Slack.
I guess... that wasn't my point, but I get the reference. You're right, that is an abstract implication of having finite time and money. OTOH, all venture funds are finite, so none can scale.

I would be careful not to overgeneralize from your personal experience, particularly not from a badly prepared / unguided experience.

A sense of clarity after three or four days is something a lot of people report -- certainly enough to say it is a real phenomenon. I don't know if the experience is universal, but it does seem to be quite common.
Sunglasses prevent the “attention” check that Face ID requires by default, but which can be turned off.

It's Qt. The author writes it both ways, but lowercase 't' is correct. It's a tad bit weird to see it all uppercase. It's kinda like "Build your own WebApp using NODE".
That would bias the process in favor of rich people who can afford to spend a week hanging out in DC meeting with members of Congress.

It would do the most harm to interests that pool resources from large groups of regular folks, like unions or environmental groups.

No, it isn't. Their entire argument was predicated on "these companies need to hire the best." So they need to define what "best" means in this context. Cause so far, for the likes of Google, it's "Went to an expensive school, and can do whiteboard problems."
Is there a way for these tools to work with something like flatbuffers? Ideally, I would import my flatbuffers definitions and the tool would (un)serialize accordingly. I usually end up writing a python script to test APIs but being able to do a lot of that with a nice interface would be useful.

I'm as upset as you, but the abuses of federal law enforcement are nothing new. In fact they may have improved compared to the past, but it's impossible and pointless to compare too closely.

The internet age changes the dynamics and visibility, so that is actually some comfort. In decades past, this exact same action to "protect their own" would have gone down without a blip on the national radar. It should be noted, however, the agency's power to use all the data they're wanting (phone IDs, in particular) to conduct ongoing intrusive surveillance at low cost is new and worrisome.

It should also be noted that prosecutorial power works both ways: reading about the tactics used by Mueller against Trump, et al, is both encouraging and scary to me. It's nice when your friends are powerful, but scary when you realize their loyalty is fleeting.
Great actionable advice.

I remote desktop into my home computers and can turn on the webcams and see what is happening when I am away. Obviously a limited solution in multiple respects, but for just checking in occasionally it works well-enough. There may even be an open source software somewhere that uses your webcam as a security camera and handles archiving, possibly even uploading daily files to a destination of your choosing so you can access while away.
Well they have VR now so it makes sense.
You can permutate all possible character positions for combinations of four changed characters, and for _each_ permutation permutate all four characters and then compare the hash, and if the hash is the same you do not accept the password (even though of course you could have false positives with hashes). It is of course much slower than the change of one character which is only 256 iterations if you mutate the underlying bytes and not Unicode characters.

But I would guess they use plain text :-(
> TODO: Add Doc

It's not a programming language if there's no documentation. It's just a compiler implementation for a dialect of something amorphous and ethereal.

That said, I kind of like the examples on http://www.lemon-lang.org/documentation and I wish the author(s) well in fleshing this out.
Ah, but nowadays there are sites that won't let you set a new password "if it is too similar to previous passwords". In particular, the US military won't let you set a password that is similar to the last ten of your passwords. What constitutes "too similar"? It seems that your new password can't have more than a three-character substring from your old passwords.

I am pretty pro-union. However, in the case of Musk's enterprises, where there is this larger goal that is finally seeming to become possible, I am torn. I feel that anyone that works at these places should know and be a zealot for the Cause...but I suppose that Elon Musk probably should share his stakes with them a bit more, in that case.

edit: I believe workers should be treated fairly, but I also want us to go to Mars. If 1 prevented 2, I would be torn. Why should this earn a negative vote?
Because the stock price would drop and Tesla wants to do another round of funding (aka issue more stock) soon.
I use a password manager, and generate passwords using the xkcd aproach[0] (only more words), which so have like 50-70 characters total. Easy to type in if I happen to use a retarded app which doesn't let me paste or something like a game console, but secure enough for me. On retarded sites which restrict passwords to length or characters or need some characters, I need a minute or two to modify the generated one (and maybe can't login after registering, as the max length on register is longer than on login).

If this simple modification which I have to do one time costs me a minute, how many years of my life will it take to go through some algorithm, and this every single time I log in?

Besides any security considerations, its just too much of a hassle for me to use some password algorithm technique.

I would like to learn programming for crypto currencies like bitcoin. Any insights on getting started would be great.
This doesn't really surprise me. A few years ago we had lead generation software that catered to the solar industry. We had some decent sized clients and it did really well for about 2 years. Once the tax credits started going away and the power companies started killing off their rebates, a lot of these solar companies were not able to survive.

One of our larger clients who was heavily funded went bankrupt this year and many of the smaller/mid sized clients have folded within the last year too.

It is risky basing too much of a business on tax credits and rebates.
Because we don't like looking at people as purely numbers. Especially when those people are dependent upon their job to be able to pay rent and buy food.
If it helps, my first computer contact was an HP 9100 in '72. I just hated it and would avoid them for years afterwards. ;-)

It doesn't seem impossible on the corporate side, but I'd be surprised if it was true and yet none of the newly-fired employees speaking anonymously to the media raised the point.
Emphasis on the mini: that applies to the kind of range it gets too thanks to limited power levels.
It rather amazes me how intelligent people who've lived through some of the most rapidly changing times ever seem sure they know the future.

Imagine a glut of cheap energy, rapidly improving materials science, pervasive robotics, and large-scale 3D printing. I think it's almost inevitable that construction costs would come way down. Between telepresence and cheap transportation, the need to aggregate people into urban environments would cease.

I think it's highly likely things will go in this direction at some point.
and those outputs probably map into a bayesian network to make decisions.
There are, of course lateral connections between columns, but the columns are very real.

Interesting perspective. I'd take the opposite approach, recommending new game masters start with Fate Accelerated as being so affordable ($5 physical, pay what you want digital) and so short and saving Fate Core until you want to dive deeper and create a customized long term campaign. Watching a let's play video is a great recommendation!

The fundamental structure of Fate is very simple and straightforward. I'm working on a space opera variant (in the 27th century genetically engineered cosplayers, makers, scientists and pop culture enthusiasts set out to reconnect the lost civilizations of humanity) and am finding in playtests with strangers who have never played Fate that I can explain the core rules in 10 minutes or less and people can have a good time playing for 3 hours without any additional explanation.

I love Fate Core, but it's very wordy because it functions as a toolkit to adapt the game to any sort of setting imaginable. (and because it recapitulates a ton of stuff, rather than cross referencing)

> it seems that implementing a GraphQL server is not an easy task

It's actually really easy, I encourage you to look into it! I've written plenty of APIs over the years and it's one of the more pleasant experiences I've had.

Having less hackers or taking hackers a little more effort to crack the password do not make it more secure in any ways. This is security through obscurity. Do you think the hackers will stop like a bear when they crack the first password?

If password can be cracked, they are insecure, no matter it takes the hacker 10 minutes or 10 hours.

And it does not take ML to derive these simple algorithms at all. People may think their password algorithm is good, but it lacks the fundamentals of cryptography. It's really just a puzzle you play with the attacker.
You're absolutely right. I misread. Thank you.
OP here.

This system is helpful but imperfect. I welcome any suggestions on virtues or practicing them.
Different stats depending on how you determine that someone is "unemployed". Some count anyone who doesn't have a job at all unemployed, while some will take that number, and remove people who wouldn't be part of the workforce anyway, like retired persons, stay at home parents, and students. And there's a few in between.

Nah, that is only the character position sets to change, you also have to permutate the characters (which would be 2^(4*8) if we consider byte characters)

I don't get it either. Either stop (and get out of the way) to look at your phone or walk. Don't walk an one-third pace. It's pointless and annoying.

Solar City was doing fantastic here in Las Vegas. There sales people were BY FAR the best when they came door to door.

But Warren Buffet's power company changed the laws last year and basically screwed everyone who had solar. We have completely disincentivized putting solar panels up.

Now the company doesn't do well, and no sales people come door to door from any company. If you are putting up solar in Las Vegas this year, its because you are an extreme environmentalist and willing to pay the penalty that comes with it.

What I mean by that is there exist no gender barriers to take an AP exam - that fewer women are studying CS in college or working a technical role is not a result of a biased system, but of an individual decision that comes down to fewer girls DECIDING to learn computer science.

>, they could still spin off a sister site under an entirely different domain, brand,

I think it's a decent idea but my guess is that it wouldn't be enthusiastically received by the adult creators.

The "Patreon" brand has already accumulated legitimacy and trust. The adult-themed content creators would want to continue to leverage that.

The creator selling sex performances gets to be in the same "digital inventory" (because it's the same patreon.com url) as the neuroscientist and philosopher Sam Harris, the Crash Course history education videos by John Green and his brother, the electronics disassembly videos by AvE, etc. Yes, the NSFW creators are already filtered out of general search pages and therefore hidden -- but at least they are still in the same patreon domain as the other respectable content creators.

They wouldn't want a separate url such that the customers' credit-card bill would have a line item such as Adultreon.com or Porntreon.com. Yes, the url domain name doesn't have to blatantly shout "rated X" but it does have to be sufficiently different from "patreon" so as to not taint that growing brand name. Even if you gave it a non-obvious name like noertap9.com, people would eventually mentally associate "noertap" with "rated X" anyway. (E.g. people already know that "redtube.com" which has an innocuous name -- is not about the color "red": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RedTube)

This is a very competitive field, with dozens of options. I have done extensive research myself in the past looking for screeners that provide enough functionality for my needs. I'm curious what problem you're attempting to solve vs. all the current entrants in this space? FWIW, I really like your UI + speed.

Things that I have had trouble finding executed well elsewhere (besides the super expensive tools like Factset, Bloomberg, etc) are: a) ability to program your own metrics or criteria w/ formulas and b) ability to leverage historical data beyond current and one previous fiscal year for very select data points.

By the way, I currently use Stock Rover, which has the most functionality I could find at a reasonable price. I do not like the interface but it works. Have tried many others.
GraphQL is something that's relatively simple (and brilliant) but is one of those things that you just need to try properly first for it to click, especially if you have a background of implementing tons of REST based services.

The GraphQL related tools are top notch and implementing GraphQL server isn't any harder than a REST based server would be (one could even argue that it would be simpler).
Even if you don't want to implement everything from scratch, tools like Postgraph[0] exists that pretty much automate it for you.

I made a simple tutorial[1] on wrapping an existing API with GraphQL here which goes through basics of settings up too.
