> Did Clancy speak to someone with non public information?

I heard from people working for DoD contractors that there was a lot of classified information around anti-submarine warfare technology and tactics in the book. This quote from the nytimes review in 1987 seems to confirm that.

Mr. Lehman, in an interview last week, recalled telling Mr. Clancy in a good-natured way: 'If you were a naval officer, I would have you court-martialed because of all the classified information in your book.' Up to that time, Mr. Lehman said, 'operational procedures of antisubmarine warfare had been classified.' But, he added, Mr. Clancy had simply ''pieced it all together by voraciously reading the open literature for 15 years, things like the Proceedings of the United States Naval Institute.''

> People have the responsibility when making predictions that others will take action based on their prediction.

I agree - and this is why Bruce Schneier (in my opinion) formulated his statements so cautiously and clearly pointed out the lack of evidence.

Of course people will take action - but this can mean anything:

- Doing undercover investigation to collect evidence whether China or Russia is really behind it or this was a red herring: I would consider this as a pretty good idea under the given circumstances.

- Accusing China or Russia on the world stage that they are behind these attacks: A really bad idea.

But both are plausible actions based on the "prediction" - and I would call the first one actually a good idea under the given circumstances.

From a purely logic point of view, I have some problems accepting this:

> "When the facts change, I change my mind," I included because of its implied inverse: "When the facts don't change, I don't change my mind."

It is my understanding that "A implies B" does not imply "not A implies not B".

Maybe I am just hairsplitting, but when I read/hear something I see these kind of sentences as bad indicators.

It sounds like in your examples, ideas and conclusions from GT were used to inform practice (sort of like mental models), but GT models themselves were not explicitly deployed.

Game Theory is first and foremost a quantitative, mathematical theory, and I was wondering in what situations one would actually use the mathematics in production systems or in a mathematical analysis. There are a few replies on this thread that alluded to some applications.

There aren’t good 5K monitors really for the PC they are either 30hz or requir 2 display port connectors which means you see 2 screens and there are calibration and sync issues the LG ones simply don’t work.

So my closest thing would be a 10bit calibrated 4K professional monitor which is well over $1000.
Nice sleuthing! I'm inclined to agree with your assessment about content marketing campaigns being regurgitated over time. Seems they are explicitly choosing to not show the article date in an effort to get more traffic.
Seriously? That's what you were concerned about?
That is often the first question I get asked when trying to explain these concepts to business owners.

My answer is that you can plan for work to be done on a deadline but you can't negotiate when it will be done with the people doing the work. It's going to take as long as it takes. It's poor management that sets unrealistic expectations and demands results.

You can plan for work by using data. You get data by tracking effort estimated versus completed and triaging bugs. You prioritize goals instead of setting deadlines. You measure and refine.

It sounds counter-intuitive to business people who think in terms of, I just sold customer X the product and they need it delivered by Y so that we can get the team paid by Z. This is where poor management decisions can sink your team. If Y is decided by the sales or management team with the customer and they didn't consult their engineering team... then they're working on another planet. The goal of processes like this are not to eliminate Y but to set reasonable expectations and objectives.

As I like to remind my business owners: you can have something that works -- it may not be the whole kit -- or you can have nothing at all. Winning is about prioritizing objectives.

One book I've read recently that taught me a lot about management is Extreme Ownership[0]. I think there's a lot of cross-over from this book into Agile methodologies that I think non-technical stakeholders can really understand.

This is going to seem like a stupid nit-pick, but I think it's symptomatic of your experience.

COE actually stands for "Correction of Error", not "Cause". It may seem like a trivial nit, but to me it underscores that the essential purpose of the process is to correct errors, not simply to identify causes and blame them on someone.

That you or your org or your partner teams seem to be using it not as a tool for correcting errors but for blame, is probably just one of many symptoms of rot within your corner of the org.

>This is almost exactly how Bitcoin works.

The difference is that if amazon is worth let's say 50 billion and they have 10 billion revenue and 9 billion operating costs then not paying out the excess 1 billion as dividends doesn't mean they magically disappear. A 50 billion company with 1 billion in the bank account is in reality a 51 billion company.

When a dividend is paid out the value of the stock is reduced by exactly the amount that is paid out.
If the money is used to buy more delivery infrastructure (trucks, buildings) the value of the stock remains the same.
From the perspective of a share holder who can sell his shares to someone else nothing has changed. You either have 50€ worth of stock plus 1€ or 51€ worth of stock.

With bitcoin there is no revenue that can be paid out or be invested. If bitcoin goes "bankrupt" what assets can you liquidate to obtain at least a fraction of it's value? How does it work?
It isn't just badly done math loops that can cripple performance. Years ago, some users were complaining that it was taking forever to load their data into their analysis program. It turned out they were reading thousands of structs, one element at a time with the Unix read(2) system call! I taught them about buffering and the read time went down by a factor of ten or more, I forget the exact numbers.
> Crytek should take a deal as soon as its offered, here.

Back when Lumberyard was announced, I wondered if Amazon would buy out Crytek. Figuring it's payroll issues, I thought it would be a bargain if Amazon really wanted to seriously get into game development. Since it's been two years, I don't think that it will happen. Now I'm thinking that Amazon will buy the scraps during liquidation.
Do All Professional Video / Gfx Editor uses large 27" monitor? For Video definitely, but i heard no one is using Apple's hardware for Video any more because they dont give a damn about the Mac. But surely we not everyone in the Gfx side needs a 27". Not everyone has the space to afford the 27" Size. The volume consumed by those component should fit in 21", surely this isn't a technical problem.

Well a lack of rules (but a list of recommendations, perhaps) would be a solution there, not a maximum of 8 characters. Maximum password lengths just screams out to me that they're not hashing and just storing passwords directly in a database with a fixed-size column for passwords.

There is a fine line between democracy and mob rule.

The Nash equilibrium for any sufficiently stable democratic system is for 49.9% of the electorate to be treated as subhuman. Democracy inevitably becomes tyrannical if civil institutions fail to defend the interests of the minority against the interests of the majority.
Team at Apple:

So we ran into heat sink problems with MacPro. Also, people wanted a pro machine to be extensible and upgradeable.

We learned from our mistakes. We give you the non-upgradable non-extensible iMac Pro that is also a heat sink problem.

While I agree, as a CTO I would be terrified if a data breach could hold me personally liable. It'd be like a Director of Security at a bank being liable for their bank being robbed with a tank.

But at the same time there is a line. I would be for holding companies liable if, for instance, the data gets out there and you find it is entirely unencrypted and the passwords are MD5 hashed or plain text. There has to be a baseline.

Mistakes should not be punished as long as there is not also negligence.

Own words? Most of the blog posts are done by people much smarter than me. I could do a 1 or 2 hour PPT Presentation trying to get to the point. I think only a few people would be able to follow me.

Right, hence my assertion that well-known names of feature sets are useful. "HTML 5.2" is useful in the same way that "C99" was, because eventually there is a day I can just assume everything in "HTML 5.2" is present in all my targets. If I don't have such a name, if I'm forever at "HTML 5", I'm forced into the "autoconf" scenario of using feature detection forever for everything not in the base specification.

(That the W3C is apparently incompetent at associating feature sets with names is a separate issue.)
I agree, schools have failed on this point.
AWS is mostly Xen (they just introduced a KVM option https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/now-available-compute-inten... ), and there are a few things like "enhanced networking" where you get a performance boost if you're on a kernel with support but it's still functional if you're on any other kernel.
At this point, couldn't you just arbitrage it, and take out loans / mortgages / cash advances / credit cards just to pay off student loans and back taxes, after after which you'd actually declare bankruptcy.
Within a year of release FCP X surpassed FCP 7 seats [1]. In 2017 FCP X hit 2 million seats [2]. Now maybe everyone in Hollywood jumped ship after FCP X, but it's pretty clear that FCP X massively expanded the market for Apple. And looking at Avid's stock price over the past 5 years [3] it doesn't seem like their focus on "professionals" has paid off (no idea what Adobe Premiere's numbers are). Since FCP X launched, Apple has steadily iterated on it (with the last major update releasing today [4]). It's clear FCP X was a good move, not just from a business perspective, but technically as well; it performs much better on Macs than Premiere or Media Composer (search YouTube for comparisons). Randy Ubillos confirmed that in an interview after he retired [5]:

>One of the things I like about working at Apple was that Apple didn’t have a problem with starting over again - if that was the right thing to do. You don’t want to talk about ‘sunk cost.’ The effort you’ve put in in the past has gone. From now on, what is the best way to go forward? It doesn’t matter if we spent six months working on some feature. That doesn’t matter. Is it the right feature? If so, great, continue forward with it. If you don’t do that with a product and somebody else who doesn’t have the history, the legacy you’re trying to hold on to will jump in and take things out from under you.

>The very last conversation I had with Steve Jobs was right after the launch of Final Cut Pro X. I was getting ready to get on a plane to go to London to record the second set of movie trailers - we’d hired the London Symphony Orchestra [to perform the music that was going to be bundled with the next version of iMovie] - and Steve caught me at home: “What the heck is going on with this Final Cut X thing?” I said “We knew this was coming, we knew that people were going to freak out when we changed everything out from under them. We could have done this better. We should have. Final Cut 7 should be back on the market. We should have an FAQ that lists what this is all about.” He said “Yeah, let’s get out and fund this thing, let’s make sure we get on top of this thing, move quickly with releases…” and he finished by asking: “Do you believe in this?” I said “Yes.” He said “then I do too.”

It's useful if it's a monad (and functor) because then you have tools to avoid this check until the end of a series of possibly failing functions. It's only really useful with these tools though.

By itself you might as well use nulls or throw errors although you could argue that it's clearer having a maybe or an either.
"Nicht alles was hinkt, ist auch ein Vergleich"

So your analogy was "something that is beneficial to one side but not to the other"? Nothing to do with stereotypes at all? Because that is so distant that I don't see how it is an analogy of anything.

So "being stabbed in the gut is not beneficial to the stabbee, so don't you see that stereotypes are harmful"?

We all operate with stereotypes that are largely accurate and largely beneficial, not to single groups (as you seem to imply), but to everyone (obviously different stereotypes etc.). In fact, without stereotypes (=generalizations) we would not be able to function and the world would be a terribly dangerous place. Now are they all upside with no downside? Of course not. But that's a straw man, because what thing is there with no downsides?

And I also don't see that you've actually supported your assertion that the stereotypes you mention are "incredibly harmful" to those negatively affected. Because the research shows that that is not the case, meaning the real data about the individual replaces the stereotype very quickly. Do you have evidence that this is incorrect?
Pythonistas usually recommend you not use a backslash for continuation. The approach shown on the page is the recommended way, and I find it roughly about as readable as what you suggest. Does using parentheses for continuation trouble anyone?

So your proposal is that the single parent work a second job in order to move to Nebraska.

Who takes care of her child while she does this? Does the kid go to child care? How does the single parent pay for the child care? Does she need to get a third job to pay for the expense of her second job? What happens when the car she takes to work breaks down, and wipes out her savings? What about when she gets sick because she's working two or three jobs, and is exhausted?

I dunno, I think your plan of "everybody who's poor should just move to an area where minimum wage jobs are sufficient to live" is a little poorly thought out.

Yes algorithmic game theory is what I'm getting at. I wonder if you know of any talks about tech companies implementing game theory algorithms in production systems?

Well, you see, people have this aversion to taxes and if they knew exactly how much they are paying they might start to get a little upset. So governments came up with this scheme to hide how much they tax them so they don't upset the people.

From my random perusal of the various reports of compromises over the last few years, my impression is not that organisations tend to get hacked using the latest zero-day vulnerability, but rather that organisations get hacked because they have glaring security holes that you could drive a double-decker bus through.

For example, bcrypt has been around for how long now? And don't almost all the reports of hacks report that a database was lifted with usernames and passwords either in plaintext (for the love of all that is holy) or hashed with unsalted SHA1, or similar?

Hm, I disagree. Either information is public, no matter for who. Or the information is private, and you should have ACL for accessing the information. I don't think it's fair to say that information is public if you're a human but private if you're a machine, or vice versa.

It's not about if it's difficult to build but rather the principle behind if you can just allow humans to read something.
