It wasn't that many years ago that most colleges didn't offer a true CS degree, but rather a math degree in CS. When I was applying to colleges in the early 90s I remember it being roughly 50/50.

For #2: In my experience, it takes a long time to go from "the basic question" to a well-founded statistical question for which analysis is appropriate.

For #3: The best managers and analysts will find ways to ask questions and meet in the middle between technical complexity and the business/science problem at hand.

VoiceOps | Multiple jobs (Backend, Full-Stack) | San Francisco, CA | ONSITE, INTERNS, VISA, Full-time | https://voiceops.com/careers.html

VoiceOps is an analysis platform for enterprise voice. We plug into conferencing and call recording solutions and parse out the skills that people are using on the phone to make recommendations about how they can improve. We provide the quickest and most reliable way to judge what content and sales tactics drive the most successful results on the phone, without having to listen to a single phone call. Using the call data companies already have, we automatically identify winning behaviors and help spread those best practices to the entire team. We’re working with some of the largest sales and support teams in the US and have raised funding from Accel, Founders Fund, Lowercase, YC, and others.

Our long term vision is to own the space of business conversations by expanding into other verticals where conversations are part of the every day workflow, such as fundraising, recruiting, political campaigning, healthcare, banking, etc.

To apply choose a position on this list https://voiceops.com/careers.html and then submit your information via AngelList or directly to jobs@voiceops.com.
This is xenophobic nonsense. China executed or sentenced the executives behind the melamine debacle to life in prison, so there's already been greater accountability than we'd see for the same supply line issues in the US.

I can't remember where I read this, but I really liked the idea that UBI was compared to VC funding. I.e. most startups fail, yet investors still invest in startups because the few that succeed compensate for the ones that fail, making investment in startups still worth while.

What I read was that UBI can be seen as a government investing in it's people. Not everyone will be doing brilliant and innovative things, but, the person who'd normally would get a secure job at big corp might now feel secure enough to undertake starting something or working on an idea living in the middle of nowhere and when successful, adding an enormous amount of value to the rest of society.

So, to answer your question. I'd also be more than happy to live in the middle of nowhere working on ideas and open source etc.

Maths isn't destabilizing nation states. Even if Bitcoin were, it would be good old financial capitalism doing it, not crypto purists and weed buyers.
I have no stake in this particular race, but I try to see things from both points of views.

And I know from experience that what looks ridiculous and petty for an outsider is suddenly much less so when it impacts you personally.
> One thing that makes mathematicians leery of physics-inspired proofs is that physicists accept mathematical transformations that produce correct experimental results but that have not been proven axiomatically.

I think it's way beyond that. Physicists are know to be fast and loose with their maths.

For a period of time they were basically deleting infinities which appeared in the equations and pretended everything was fine, because after this operation the results agreed with experiments.

To quote Dirac: I must say that I am very dissatisfied with the situation, because this so-called "good theory" does involve neglecting infinities which appear in its equations, neglecting them in an arbitrary way. This is just not sensible mathematics. Sensible mathematics involves neglecting a quantity when it turns out to be small—not neglecting it just because it is infinitely great and you do not want it!

Only later mathematicians put this technique on more proper grounds - renormalization.
It's 'shoe in' by the way.
It's not hard to see the flaws in capitalism, but hard to come up with a decent alternative. Capitalism is the private ownership of assets used for production, such as factories and land. One alternative is government ownership, but that has a terrible track record. What other systems are possible? Non-profit organisations controlled by their employees?
There's really, really not. I think you need a refresher on the definition of "hypocrisy", because yours is badly wrong.
Or her.
Except google's idea wasn't "search engine". Google's idea was "search engine that uses the PageRank algorithm". PageRank did not encompass all of the value of Google, but it did encompass much of it, and it was unequivocally part of the idea.

What you're effectively saying is that ideas have no value without good execution, which is of course true, but this is very different than saying they have no value, because after all, execution has no value without a good idea.
This sure disappeared from the front page in a hurry.

Here’s your scheduled reminder that, no matter what benevolence they claim, a news site run by a venture _capitalist_ fund may not have your best interests at heart vis-à-vis discussions about capitalism.
Right now, we have 2 services and 1 scheduled job running on an ECS cluster running on 2 m3.medium spot instances. However we are utilizing less than 10% of the resouces available so moving to Fargate would be cheaper and much more convenient for us.

Unfortunately Fargate isn't available on the Ireland region yet.
5 in 120 is 1 in 24. There are 30ish people at my company, and five of them are directly responsible for security and 20 or so are indirectly responsible... so I guess either we're very over-weighted or Uber is very under-weighted.

But you have to look at the threat models, the value of what you're protecting, and the surface areas that you expose. Without comparing those, no useful inferences can be drawn.
"novel = of value" in this case.

Fill in the blank programs ("Here's the skeleton, make it display a list") and 3 projects with < 200 lines that aren't doing something CS specific are not novel, but all too common and wide spread.
So far I have been experimenting with using nix package management on top of other OSes, how much extra do you feel like running NixOS adds? I've certainly run into missing packages a fair bit, so far nothing beats the coverage of the AUR.

>>Just because you can point out the current system's flaws doesn't automatically mean a comparable better one exists.

The flip side of the coin is we should never stop looking for improvements. IMO if executives were held personally liable for gross negligence, for instance, they would suddenly become more interested in things like security best practices (referring to the recent Equifax disaster).
None. People refuse to let this myth die, yet cannot provide any evidence. It is very strange.

The Harvard University survey, which polled young adults between ages 18 and 29, found that 51 percent of respondents do not support capitalism. Just 42 percent said they support it.

The results of the survey are difficult to interpret, pollsters noted. Capitalism can mean different things to different people, and the newest generation of voters is frustrated with the status quo, broadly speaking.

If you do a survey and ask if people are pro abortion, most of them will say "no." If you do a survey and ask if they support a woman's rights to have control over her body and have reproductive choice -- aka "pro choice" -- most people will say "yes."

Most folks think a woman should have access to abortion services should she need one. They also think it should be an absolute last resort for when things go wrong and should not be used too casually as a primary form of birth control. The reality is that most women would never use it that way. But birth control methods fail far more often than most people imagine, plus sometimes someone is assaulted.

TLDR: How you ask the question can skew the answers and also people often mean very different things with the same word.

If you're willing to engage in respectful debate, rather than just vacuously claiming that I'm wrong, I'm happy to discuss any definition you'd like to proffer.
Remarkable. I'm vividly reminded of that scene in the movie, Apollo 13, where this is said: [Gene Kranz:] I want you guys to find every engineer who designed every switch, every circuit, every transistor and every light bulb that's up there. Then I want you to talk to the guy in the assembly line who actually built the thing. Find out how to squeeze every amp out of both of these goddamn machines.

NASA has a remarkble group of engineers who know how to get every last erg of energy out of that machine.
Or is competition a bandaid for a lack of neutral service? Which is the means and which is the end?

My impression is that Fiber's implied competition only worked in cities where Google got pretty far along. Prices in other cities don't seem to be affected.

Wow, so now they have this massive security bug, screwed up file sharing when they fixed it, and now are apparently inadvertently rolling back the fix to the initial massive security bug.
Related, Here's a script I wrote a year ago when I was looking for a position pretty aggressively. Used like `python hiring.py [-l LOC] [-s SKILL] [-o OTHER] *.html`, where you've saved each page to your cwd. It outputs the comments that have at least one of the specified skills, locations, and others, which is really just a dumb substring test for each. Specify however many of each. Thoughtbot and the guy who demands a format for his job site (don't know if he's still here) are excluded by hardcoded `EXCLUDED`. Sorted by date descending. You have to paginate quickly when saving the HTML files of course, so that time/votes don't shift the pages. It's not pretty, especially robust, or meant to impress anybody; I wrote it in a hurry. Requires Python 2.6-2.7 (haven't tested in Python 3) and lxml.

OP here. Iit's telling that so many people are commenting in this thread about how Slack isn't that bad because you can customize it to be less attention-grabbing. The fact remains that Slack is engineered to be attention-grabbing out of the box. Sure you can tweak it to make it less shouty, but Slack is still a product that is sold for money by a company. It's not in their interests to make it align with your existing workflow if they can upend that workflow entirely. No one's making money from you having a meeting or sending a well thought out email, so I think it's worth being cynical when considering paid alternatives.

I think it's also worth remembering that for hacker type folks like us, customizing software is the norm. But default settings are default for a reason, and they will inevitably end up being the most commonly used. When everyone else in your company expects you to use Slack they way do, i.e. for 8 hours a day with instantaneous reply times, then it becomes hard to push against that and eventually it becomes the status quo
Except this attack vector requires the attacker both has your phone and knows your passcode. Meaning they don't need to access your backups any more, they already have all your data!
But from what I remember reading in the past, those flames are essentially invisible in a vacuum, is that right?
Mute all the channels. Ignore messages that don't matter. Configure it to notify you if someone mentions "lunch". Done.

I grew up in a Communist dictatorship in Eastern Europe. Capitalism is far from being perfect but it was much better for my friends and I than communism. It wasn't as good for older people that lived most of their life in the previous regime tho (but we cannot say how capitalism would have treated them if they haven't had lived almost all their lives in communism).

I do not know what the solution to capitalism's problems is but I do know it's not communism. I also realize that rejecting capitalism doesn't imply embracing communism but in practice I don't see anyone suggesting any other alternatives to it.

With the rise of social-nationalism/right-wing activism again in Europe and elsewhere I sometimes wonder if this isn't just collective memory forgetting the horrors of the past that were brought upon by hate and simplification (to me most political ideals like communism and nationalism are the result of minds that refuse to view the world in the highly complex state it is in and are looking for simplifications/shortcuts), we are forever doomed to repeat those mistakes. :(
It's weird. I generally have to show ID when picking up from a pharmacy, and while I'm also unaware of any laws on the books prohibiting transmission of controlled substances through the mail, SWIM has had packages containing exactly that confiscated by the postmaster.
It would be fine if they offered an option to keep the old way of doing things, but the new way is better for most users. Any security that's used is far superior than using no security.

Summary: the root bug reappears when you upgrade your Mac. You need to manually reinstall Apple's security patch and reboot. There's no warning that a reboot is necessary.
NASA usually has a duplicate system (full mechanicals, not just a simulation) to test things on to make sure they don't create a brick. NASA can also use the dupes as a backup in case there is an accident during launch and the first system gets destroyed.
Not a good week for Apple. They were doing pretty good reputation wise when it concerned security so far but this whole saga has been less than stellar. Amazing that regression testing didn't catch this.
You asked: "Where do you think this money to pay for a UBI is coming from?"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_income#Affordability gives an overview. For examples:

"A 2012 affordability study done in the Republic of Ireland by Social Justice Ireland found that basic income would be affordable with a 45 percent income tax rate. This would lead to an improvement in income for the majority of the population."

"Charles M.A. Clark estimates that the United States could support a Basic Income large enough to eliminate poverty and continue to fund all current government spending (except that which would be made redundant by the Basic Income) with a flat income tax of just under 39 percent."

You also wrote "Also, the rich are mobile, there would be no more rich."

Surprising, perhaps, but they in general aren't that mobile. They can afford to travel, certainly, but it's hard for most to uproot. Look at all the millionaires and billionaires living in New York City, even though taxes would be lower in "Texas, or Kansas, or Georgia".
This is cool. Thanks.
As serious as this is, it kind of makes me feel humbled in a way knowing I’ve been through these exact situations and it happens to Apple too.

I'd think a todo is a task that needs to be completed, whereas a note is just a set of information that needs to be stored.
We (I'm assuming you're not posting from North Korea) all live in a capitalist society, so virtually all the products we use are "made with profit incentive". Since it is not possible to live in society without consuming any products, your definition of a "hypocritical" capitalist critiquer implicitly includes all of them - which makes it useless as a definition, as it carries no informational content.
