Typos could be anything, period. As could anything else.

Bring a resume with typos and your rebuttal and see what happens. The trouble you go through to defend typos will be far more work than fixing your typos. It's mostly automatic.

Reasoning doesn't excuse you from making mistakes, because excused don't make up for those mistakes. In any professional work environment, your mistakes are someone else's paid job to fix.

OP is talking about attitude and mindset. The "I can reason away typos" mindset is not appealing. The "I will do anything to not make mistakes" mindset is.

I mean, that is still what we are talking about here right? Being attractive to employers.
Thankfully, I don’t think this is a super strong selling position. Google has an incredible reputation for keeping its users safe and their information private. What you don’t know is whether google in fact stores your documents in an encrypted format at rest. If they do, then what exactly are you offering?
Will bad reviews kill an Apple/Star Wars release, obviously not. That however doesn't mean that reviews don't have any effect. Otherwise why would these companies go through the process of giving out review devices or holding critic screenings? Or why would all these reviews get so much traffic if their content had no effect on the reader's ultimate buying decision?
To solve this, [...use Service Workers] to install some code which can't be changed without setting off a warning to you.

Sounds a lot like destroy the ecosystem for short-term gains to me. The geothermal features were exploited early on in the history of Yellowstone and that exploitation resulted in impacts to the geyser basins that can still be seen today. Why we as humans seem to think that life can't possibly continue without us has always boggled my mind.

Edit: Here is some backup to my claim about messing with the geysers: https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/yellowstone-geysers-tr...

From Rich's talk: "Now at this point I was an expert C++ user and really loved C++, for some value of love."

Rich has had many years of experience in statically typed language.
I think you're mostly talking about orthography (writing), and not language itself. You might be saying that because of the different writing systems, the spoken language is different today, which seems plausible. In any case, no matter how "mixed" a language's history is, I bet that for its native speakers, it is acquired as one language and feels like one language. When people learn and acquire language, they don't have to trace any origins of any words.

Anyway, we migrated from arguing about the claim "The rules of language are simple" to arguing that some language rules are simpler than other, which to me makes room for the claim that language is, generally speaking, complicated and its rules are complicated.
Nearly all technology can/will be used for that purpose. I think swarm AI is likely to help people more than it will harm. It's a critical step in big tasks like terraforming Mars.
Browsing through the website I came across this:

> VeraCrypt runs on Windows, Linux and Mac, and is believed to be a secure encryption tool to encrypt your files locally. It keeps your files confidential, but does not protect the integrity, i.e. a hacker can't read your files, but they could modify them without you noticing. [1]

Veracrypt encrypts an entire container. I would love to know what they mean by a hacker being able to modify my container's files without being able to read them. Encrypted is encrypted, so this is either PR fluff or the maintainers truly do not understand how encryption works, which is concerning when they are shipping a security app themselves.

Correction: If it is not resulting in you transferring more data from yourself or others to Google to profit off of, it is not going to stick around long. Google doesn't seem interested in running paid businesses besides advertising no matter how much you are paying them.
I'd suggest the golden rule should be applicable here. There are enough divisions in our society as it is - I don't believe that literal segregation by political preference is a good solution, an any timeframe
Google shuts down a project. I don't think this really stops the press anymore. I'm not familiar with this one, but building your infrastructure on small Google APIs is starting to seem foolish.
sorta.

the same arguments against the drone fleet is the same against the atomic bomb. What something is designed for (death in both cases) is not always their effect. For example, the atomic bombs were used to incredible devastation and death when used but it could be argued they prevented the next war with Russia since a war between two nuclear powers meant total destruction on both sides.

I'll venture into prediction here. Do you think a regional warlord or rogue state ( ISIS or whatever comes after it ) would enter a conflict with another state that was backed by the US? They might, knowing that the US would be unlikely to do more than give airstrike and strategic support. But what if the US had a drone army/fleet that could do close air-support, block to block firefighting, differentiate combatants and non-combatants? It could mean a tougher fight for a group like that since little but money is risked on the side of the US.

I am inclined to think the solution is self control rather than a dumb phone. I dont want to problem solve my way out of the principles that lead me down the path of problem solving.
You state that the problem of fraud is particularly challenging "at Google scale". There is a fairly easy solution: Don't do things at Google scale. Many of these nearly unsolvable social problems we've created, such as YouTube content moderation, are manageable, or simply don't occur, outside Google scale.

Which begs the question: Is doing things at Google scale really something to aspire to? Has even Google solved the problem of doing things at Google scale if they have problems they cannot solve adequately at Google scale?

I think this is probably the general state of data exchange systems in most industries/sectors where an IT company/startup hasn't come along to successfully disrupt it or none of the major players have become tech-oriented enough to see - much less sort out - these kinds problems well.

That's been my experience anyways.

The college grad is surrounded by other college grads who can review his writings.

The parent is surrounded by family who can review his writings.

The non native English speaker with poor spelling knows first hand that he needs his resume to get reviewed. And he should not expect to easily find a highly qualified job that requires to write English in an English speaking country if he can't read and write English.

So far, your examples only manage to show that people could manage just fine and if they can't they were not qualified for the job.

English is not a rare skill. There is no shortage of people who can write decently.
It’s about time that hosting companies raise the prices a little bit. The industry has undergone so much consolidation, and service quality has suffered as a consequence. Paying an extra euro per month to make sure that the provider is properly funded to provide a good quality of service makes a lot of sense to me.
Our words are insufficient.

I guess you are talking about big issue politics when you say they don't belong at work, because it is absurd to say that people shouldn't consider the political consequences of the things they create or actions they take on behalf of their jobs.
Bitcoin futures approval sparks fears: 'The financial crisis all over again'
So, I think we need to discuss the legal concept of 'disparate impact.' We've decided that, as an employer of 15 or more people, it's your duty to avoid even accidental racial bias without justification.

Normally this isn't a problem as screening criteria like experience in language X is a bona fide job requirement, so even if such criterion filtered out minorities disproportionately, it's not a liability. Tacking on filters like 'must know programming language not used at this company' is going to be a huge stretch, and if your African American candidate pool is filtered out more regularly, that's a lawsuit waiting to happen.

So yes, crafting heuristics is hard, but manager's paychecks are larger for a reason.
Yes and no :) I did indeed not implement OT, but it's also a true story that I would create a Google Doc and share it, nobody knows what to write, I type a sentence, and my classmates delete it as a joke, to mess with me :)

But yeah, feedback on the collaboration is welcome. Do you think editing one sentence with multiple people is necessary, and if so why? And on the other end of the spectrum, Word-style edit requests (which need to be approved before they are applied) are also sometimes necessary.
But can it also do quasi-periodic patterns? http://physicsworld.com/cws/article/news/2012/jan/31/ancient...

I don't have the hat or the beliefs, but way to illustrate that you can't even imagine someone being able to understand opposing positions. You certainly don't sound open minded or rational, since you're assuming bigotry could be the only possible root belief for similar policy goals.

How you want to react is your business, but again, you should be aware that it's going to impact how effective your fight against those views is.
Libertarians are also not libertarians. They're just disaffected Republicans.

I completely agree that trolling your coworkers is not good behavior, and I also oppose the idiots playing nazi for similar reasons, as it's bad for the level of public discourse. But I don't think saying "I think we should be restricting immigration from some areas so we don't end up with isolated, un-integrated communities that might lead to extremism[1] like elsewhere" fits the same bill, even though my personal approach to the problem would be different.

If that would hurt someone's feelings so much to be a "hostile work environment" then that's the same problem shown by right-wingers getting incensed over Colin Kaepernick. There are a lot of publications out there, left and right, that try to fan flames more than they try to inform, and we need to get past that.

But, in the short term, I'd take it as a kindness if we could just stop talking politics at work. I don't want to hear you whining twenty minutes every day about Trump, and that's coming from someone mostly in the "the democrats are too conservative and centrist" camp.

This is a misleading statement.

HTML5 is a living standard, so naturally different browser versions will have different features implemented.

Also, there's the thing where you can conform to a spec but it's still possible to tell a difference in implementation by observing certain things.

For example the non cryptographically secure random number generators in chrome and firefox used to be different algorithms. So if you seed the RNG with a number and call it, you used to get different results for firefox and chrome and you could tell if their user agent is lieing. (actually it was a bit more complicated than that, you can't seed Math.random in JS, but you get the point)

This isn't about sites needing that info to work correctly. This is what sites do for fingerprinting.

this looks great. is the graph editor implementation that you used in botmock custom homegrown stuff, or is that an opensource component? something like this would be useful for a workflow modeling tool I've been thinking about for one of my clients.
Yes, it is, but after that, it stays installed and runs before you open the web app the next time. In effect, this makes it trust-on-first use, just like if you'd install a desktop app which then had some secure update mechanism.
A Decade After DARPA: Our View on the State of the Art in Self-Driving Cars
I did that recently, moved from the Bay Area to a red state. But, what about the concept of engaging with and challenging people who have different beliefs?

People don't really change their minds when you call them a racist, fire them, etc. When I am talking to a liberal who I know wont try to cause problems for me (like getting me fired), I will ask lots of questions.

Why do you believe X? What facts support that opinion? I believe Y because ..., where do you think the flaw in my logic is? Why do you think value A is more important that counter-value B?

It's really depressing that someone such as yourself, who has known what it is to be descriminated against for what you think are reasonable beliefs, would perpetuate the same against others.

If you think someone's views are wrong, then ask them why they think that. At worst, you'll get a better insight into how to point out why they are wrong. At best, you'll have a chance of convincing them that your position is better.

>Scientists have long claimed that our ability with numbers is indeed biologically evolved – that we can count because counting was a useful thing for our brains to be able to do.

I would like some citations for this. This is the first I've heard of this, and I previously have assumed that it was universally accepted that this was not the case.

This article makes similar claims at multiple points, without corroboration. "researchers have concluded", "researchers often assume", "researchers have argued", for arguments that I have never heard made.
No, I'm not going to imagine anything. You actually have to say what you stand for.
>I would tell them jQuery isn't available in this job. Half would immediately drop out. Good.

Unless the job description made clear why it wasn't available, I would take this as a sign of a toxic workplace and avoid it. It isn't about jQuery being banned, it is about the type of workplace where jQuery is not only banned, but such a ban is mentioned early in the interview process. I guess if you want people who are okay with such a workplace, then you are using an appropriate heuristic.

Lockbox: a Mozilla password manager
It seems that your example will filter candidates based on how much they like the company, not how good they are. The distribution of candidates will largely be the same or even worse, because a few good candidates may be put off by such rhetoric ("Why do I have to believe in local food systems, when they want me to write an Android app?"), but mediocre candidates will apply anyway.

So you still have to go through the same number of candidates until you can find a good one.

I make a weekly purchase of a small basket of cryptocurrency (mostly BTC) and I actually mine XMR with some leftover hardware since it's price efficient currently. No different than hedging your retirement portfolio with commodities and other non-correlated assets with your equities basket.

Can we please stop calling Webapps that come with the whole browser desktop apps? The fact that you give me to install a dedicated browser for your web app does not magically make it desktop app. It makes it a worse web app, which does not even share the browser runtime with other web apps.

Desktop apps are supposed to be: native code, well integrated in the OS, still working when the net is down and using system widgets and OS look&feel.

You should speak to me, as a customer, about my benefit in using your product.

Currently you're telling me what won't happen in a very unfortunate event. I think this is wrong in 2 ways.

1. You're telling me a message "the other way around". Even if you just say "Keep your documents secure" is better than "Nobody will access your documents".

2. You're comparing w/ Google docs so, following the logic of your message, what's the probability that Google will get hacked? Tiny, right? So... you're not telling me anything useful.

You can check lastpass or 1password as examples. They implement more or less the same thing, but as you can see they don't talk about how it works, but about the benefit for me, as a customer.
> And if you say yes, do you believe they are so worth it that they should be applied across your codebase always, without discretion? Most static programming languages force you (or make it hard for you not) to do this verification across the board.

Yes, actually, I don't find these things to be a particularly high burden, and the benefit, in my experience, easily outweighs it.

When you're writing code, you have to think about what kinds of things will be passed to a given function, whether the compiler checks it or not. So I find having the compiler check mundane things like this lowers my cognitive load, because I don't have to worry so much about what to do if I get a null (fail, handle it in some way, etc.).

I will agree, though, that the style of programming with maps so prevalent in Clojure makes a lot of sense in some programs. However, even then, there is a typing discipline that fits (row types).
Fiscal libertarianism aligns much closer with fiscal conservatism while the social component is closer to liberal social views, unfortunately US Libertarians have drifted further into the conservative realm due to movements like the Tea Party and now generally endorse the full GOP fiscal package, increasing debt to lower taxes in an effort to spur growth.
I was thinking about the reception of the latest Apple Watch ("Series 3").

The Watch had some issues with Wifi common-use scenarios that Apple testers failed to anticipate (obviously they wouldn't want these devices connecting to random coffeeshop hubs, etc.); this resulted in many of the reviewers having ongoing connection problems, which led to a lot of "this will be really cool when they work out the kinks" reviews.

Compare to the early work on iPhone X: a bunch of "normals" just gushing about how cool it is. The initial messaging is undeniably better.

Personally, I chalk it up to an experiment that they can afford, largely due to your #1 observation.
