Why are they stupid? All of a sudden, with no warning or explanation you stopped posting and responding? If I had a friend like that I might be concerned and reach out to friends or family to see if everything is okay. To me that signifies that they care about you, not that they're stupid. It's not like they filed a police report or anything.
It doesn't work like that - a working sharding scheme should not fail if one shard is taken over. This is the most recent description of ethereum sharding if you want to learn more -> https://youtu.be/9RtSod8EXn4?t=3h12m30s . In particular look at step 4 where the fork choice rule is changed so that shards with invalid blocks cannot exist on a valid base chain.
Count your blessings. They could have additionally asked for a picture that "clearly shows your genitals".

Anywho, once the 'revenge porn' crowd starts hacking around this by chopping the said head from the said images, the central servers of FB are sure to ask for pics of genitals.
Snapchat is inherently ephemeral - nothing lasts for more than 24 hours. Compare that to instagram/FB where the feed lives forever. The concept of stories does give people some freedom in sharing things a bit more spontaneous. In addition, they don't have a like button or comments. The only "metric" is people who "viewed" your story. The difference was stark when I first used Snapchat. I believe things have changed now. More people have moved to instagram stories and Snapchat is a lot more "filtered" than it used to be.

IMHO I think they tried to make people share spontaneously instead of a curated feed. Instagram and FB forced a change.
Coinbase always seems to go down during a flash-crash. they re-open once the price has stabilised. This was the case even when they had a lot less users.

It makes me very nervous about what they could be doing behind the scenes.

> put the onus on the humans to alter their innate understanding of 100 years of traffic flow

That is wildly overstating the complexity here. A teenager can learn to drive and pass their test with zero prior experience and maybe 10 hours of practice. "Altering" that intuition to account for the quite a bit simpler behavior of automated cars isn't going to be any harder.

This is just ludditism. The simple truth is that automated cars drive more safely, with fewer mistakes and much less velocity changing (i.e. lane switches, passing attempts, "oops" late braking, missed exit swerves...). They are easier to predict and understand, not harder.

One would hope that insurers would start proactively setting the rates for their policies based on several factors and not just in response to breaches and payouts. For instance, an insurers exposure would be greatly affected by the types of information collected, so they could offer a lower costs to a business that was only collecting email addresses than to one that collected many more types of PII. You'd also hope that insurers would start to give preferential rates to companies that complete (and resolve) periodic security audits from trusted auditors.

The benefits of insurers getting involved is that they can de facto mandate these kinds of security audits and practices by making insurance policies unaffordable without them. And, unlike government regulation, the requirements from insurers can evolve rapidly over time in a way that's difficult for laws to evolve. Insurers will hire security experts to advise on best practices and each have their own ideas of what security means. If a business finds a single security practice onerous, they can shop for an insurer that doesn't require it.
It doesn't come out in the wash. It's much easier to max out the 401k when your salary is higher, and with the exception of housing specifically the cost of other things is on par with anywhere else I've lived (in the midwest).

The commute (by train) is in fact less expensive than gas and maintenance on a car in many cases.

If you double your housing cost, even moving from a mortgage to renting because you cannot afford to buy out here, you're still ahead in the valley.

Of course, individual circumstances may alter the above, but generally it's true.

This is purely anecdotal, but there are a bunch of songs I can remember hearing on the radio growing up (15-20 years ago, although the songs were much older than I was) that had extended instrumental intros that were almost always cut out; offhand, "Jump" by Van Halen and "Fly Like an Eagle" by Steve Miller come to mind, although I'm sure there are others I can't quite recall (technically the intro to "Jump" was listed as a different track on the album, but it wasn't ever played on its own, as it was only about 30 seconds long). There are also plenty of songs where the radio would play the shorter "single" version of the song, which would usually have instrumental parts cut out, rather than the album version. Although the radio format definitely encouraged shorter songs, there were plenty of workarounds already in use for longer songs.

I live in Connecticut with family all back in Pennsylvania, so my most frequent road trip is just slightly out of range. I could stop and charge for a few minutes to cover it, but if I lived further east in CT or were going further west in PA it'd require a more substantial recharge.

Great blog post. I will incorporate some of those ideas (like testing) into the challenges.

I agree that the interviewer side is a mess and one of the long term ideas for this is to create interview packages for companies to help assess and calibrate FE candidates.

The point is that there are no accurate tax calculators for the new tax bill. The calculator you referenced is for current law. There are of course many difference to account for, but the single largest effect (other than the treatment of imputed tuition payment) is that the standard deduction doubles from $6k to 12k. This will make a big impact, and it's why we can't just rely on tax calculators for the old law when estimating our new taxes.

Please reconsider your downvotes — I'm not making arguments in bad faith here. I am truly trying to understand where these numbers came from. If she did use one of these tax calculators, then she made a silly/simple mistake, which frankly the WaPo should have double-checked.

One of the items is about VR going mainstream. Well, I don't think so. Right now, PSVR is probably the closest example of this tech going mainstream, but still on its early days. In general we need to see more advances in VR. 1) more wireless devices, more ergonomic 2) more content and I am not talking about ads 3) better graphics. Right now they are pretty poor and it affects the immersive experience
I disagree:

- It sets a precedent for uploading nude photos to FB and for them asking for it.

- You need to trust FB to delete the photos when they receive it. Yes, I understand that they probably will, but really, how many systems are those bits going to touch? How many logs are going to have this information? Can you be really sure?

A better implementation would be for the FB client to hash the file and for the hash to be uploaded. Trust issues are still there but at least mitigated to devices that you have some control over.

Evil users that hash legitimate photos can be overcome with the same review system that is being tested today.

After reading this description of the problem and other users' comments about insufficient testing and how hard it would be to discover this particular case, I must say I'm baffled.

As the blog post shows, the account creation is done on the first click, not the second. The second just logs you in.

A trivial test in this case would have been, try to log in with a non-existing account (or an account with the wrong password) and make sure no state has changed afterwards. No new users, no changed passwords, everything as it was. Unit testing 101.

This so much this. Forget America or even the west, in Beijing you have to be prepared for anything to happen at anytime. So everyone drives “on edge” so to speak because you never know when some idiot will stop and back up on the expressway cause they missed their exist or some electric trike will barge straight into oncoming traffic. On the other hand, yielding is almost unheard of and traffic will rather try to sway around pedestrians.
I agree that there can be problems. It's only a another mindset in Germany I think. There are problems and also legal consequences when it really affects the work in any way (even writing one personal/romantic mail is too much and can get you fired). In Germany you are hired & paid exclusively for your work and no boss can give you rules (or getting information about) what you do in your personal time (this includes private time beside work with coworkers and/or subordinates). It is even against the constitutional laws in Germany.

Does Triplebyte do anything other than get past the phone screen these days? Because that value proposition is really low. Saving 30 minutes on a phone screen isn't very valuable. Bypassing the absurd CS trivia interviews would be. If you could somehow convince your clients that a technical interview with Triplebyte is an acceptable proxy for their technical interview, so that on-sites are more about personality fit and synchronization of expectations, that would be valuable.

To me the biggest source of anxiety with these interviews is the hyper-focus on academic trivia that isn't applicable to almost all of engineering work being done there (where "there" is literally any company, including Google). It's one reason I'm looking to move into management and up the technical track: I'm tired of "are you a good code monkey" interviews.

> Do futures markets typically stabilize the price of a commodity?

Kind of. It doesn't necessarily stabilize the prices of the commodity so much as allow the transferring of the risk associated with price movements.

> Who loses out if a futures contract can't be fulfilled (for example due to lack of liquidity in the underlying market)?

The exchange acting as the clearing house is on the other side of each contract so they'd be left holding the empty bag. Exchanges deal with this by settling futures daily (so net cash movement based on current price) and by setting margin requirements on the members buying or selling contracts. The margin requirements vary based on the volatility of the future and for something like Bitcoin I wouldn't be surprised if was 100%.

What's particularly cool / safe (and interesting if you're a finance nut) about futures vs. actual trading of Bitcoins is that there is zero crypto involved. Everything is cash settled in dollars.

Shameless related plug : We recently developed a deep-learning powered 2-axis-gimbal for a webcam : https://github.com/GistNoesis/Linn-Photobooth . We do use deep-learning either for deep-art or for pose tracking.
I guess we can probably control the gimbal with this new camera though I'm not sure It will be able to process deep art.
In my other usages, usually I have multiple cheap webcams with cheap board (IP cams or other) streaming it (over wifi/ethernet) to the GPU processing station located somewhere. With powerful GPU boards at €650, it's probably a better strategy once you start having plenty of cams.
Because they open everything they develop and in this case they want to see innovations happen around their new home cameras! Which they use already with deliveries.

People were upset with Windows 10 for it's update policies for a number of different reasons but those very different reasons have all been lumped together into a singular general objection so that addressing one of those reasons will never solve the objection thus making the only possible solution disabling Windows Update. It's silly.

Feature updates and quality updates are handled differently in Windows 10. You can delay feature updates for a year, quality updates (security) can only be delayed for a month.

Thanks for taking the time to do the math. It would be interesting to see if various states put "adjustments" in place to back out the tuition from income, for state law purposes.

How to beat the eBay sniper and win your auction
It depends on how much work you want to do... I change umatrix defaults to not allow any javascript, which breaks a lot of things (usually images :/). I also don't load anything from third party sites by default, which also breaks images and often css (many sites I usually just read the text with broken css). For this uMatrix is great and I wouldn't use uBlock Origin at all except that uMatrix has no option to not load fonts and I also have Firefox configured to just use DejaVu 16pt on all sites (which makes the web so much nicer, although also breaks a few things), but this doesn't prevent it from loading fonts for some reason (at least last I checked). I guess because some sites use icon fonts and maybe Firefox can't tell the difference until it gets the file.

> - It sets a precedent for uploading nude photos to FB and for them asking for it.

Before we reduce this to a slippery slope, what scenario do you envision in which FB could coax its userbase to upload nude photos? I know the OP is about taking a selfie to prove existence. What would FB use as the basis to mandate the general user to send a self-nude?

> You need to trust FB to delete the photos when they receive it...can you really be sure?

No, never, of course. But that's why I point out that FB already has this potential vector of attack. Every time a user flags content for abuse, that is logged and presumably a copy of the asset made for manual verification. Nevermind all the sensitive content millions of users everyday send across Messenger or private groups.

> A better implementation would be for the FB client to hash the file and for the hash to be uploaded.

If the image is hashed before it reaches FB servers, then it gives every user the power and impunity to attempt to censor via a Content-ID like approach.

The code was not supposed to enable the root user in the first place, so I'd be surprised if someone added an assertion that anything about the root user's account was set. It was only supposed to check the root user's password.

I suppose you could write an assertion that the code didn't enable the root user, but I'm pretty sure that no password-validation routine anywhere in the history of the world has ever had a test case to make sure it didn't modify the account while validating it.

These are unknown unknowns. If you knew enough to write the right test, you wouldn't have written the bug in the first place.
