You can call this pure conjecture if you will, but here's the story. Several years ago, I knew some people in a PhD physics program, and one of the guys there tells a story about an engineer he worked with during one of his summer internships during undergrad. He described this guy as one of those older rugged not quite polished types. The type that cursed a lot, and didn't really put up with anyone's crap. He was wicked smart though, and he'd been doing it a long time too. The story goes that the one of the government agencies approached him to help them work whatever they were doing at the time. I think he said this was around the 1950s. The engineer asked why should he work with the government when he gets to work on cutting edge stuff all the time anyway. Apparently, they let him see some of the things they had developed to entice him, and he said that it was easily 5 years beyond what anyone had seen.

Is it true? Honestly, I don't know, but the guy telling the story at the time believed him, and this was in the same conversation where scientists were talking about how they could use satellite imaging to track where someone had walked 10 minutes before in a field. That was the unclassified version of what they could talk about.
There is no universal concept of "market pay" which applies across occupations; only within a given occupation. The Oakland police are the only police available to examine in this particular "market"; there is therefore no basis for an argument about "market pay" in this context.
Good for them?

I don't really care what China does. If those companies have a better product, then it is awesome that they are able to compete in the US.

Why? Because it means better and cheaper products for us consumers.

Yes, with some exceptions. We lean much more heavily towards open/public records and “sunshine is the best disinfectant” than privacy. The ability of an independent press to observe and audit police activity is considered by many (myself included) to be foundational to liberal democracy.
What technology has Facebook given us besides React, a PHP compiler and low-power server racks? For that matter, what does Facebook even disrupt?

I venture that the technology is usually already there, but the business exploitation is what's different in the dominant companies.

New Years Resolutions at Midlands Maidens Nottingham Escorts
Endjin| UK | Full-Time, Remote w. London meetings

Do you think you would like to come and explore what is happening in data, analytics and business transformation with us in 2018?

Are you the kind of person that just can't leave a question unanswered? Do you really want to know how things work, and share that knowledge with your team and the wider community? Do you understand how people and technology can come together to craft something special, each reshaping the other?

Endjin are hiring developers at all levels, from apprentices to seniors, to work on exciting projects with clients from all over the world, in verticals from retail to financial services, utilities and media.

We build modern data platforms in the cloud, and use them to help businesses adopt machine learning, data science, and automation.

We increase our value by using our products, blueprints and library of intellectual property, sharing the benefit with our clients and partners.

We also structure innovation programmes, process improvement, and DevSecOps, as well as delivering production-ready code, cloud infrastructure, and thought-leadership content.

We value life-long learning and an eye for quality. We will help you to find the best learning techniques, tools, and team-working, so that you can achieve your potential, and deliver the best value to our clients; while balancing your personal goals and home life.

Our employees have a mutual respect, regardless of where they are in their career. Ideas are developed by the whole team, from interns to seniors.

Equally, our clients pass the "nice to work for" test (and usually do so with flying colours). As part of that, we try to understand the ethical implications of the work we undertake. We seek to do the best we can for each other, for our profession, clients, and for the world at large.

With no external investors, endjin has been built as a sustainable, lifelong business: we are a company to retire out of, not exit at the expense of the employees.
You can work remotely from anywhere in the UK, and we hold meet-ups in London on a regular basis. You design your ideal working environment, and we will make it happen together.

Our salary structure is open and fixed - everyone gets the paid the same for the same job. There are also plenty of benefits, such as:

- Private medical insurance, life assurance, pension, childcare voucher scheme

- Annual bonus structure

- Interesting, meaningful, state-of-the-art & fun projects

- Smart, friendly colleagues

- Continuous learning culture; personalised training & development plan, conference attendance, speaking opportunities, show & tell session with the company

- Strong work-life balance

We are dedicated to equality of opportunity in all areas of our work. We will treat everyone in a fair and equal manner and in accordance with the law regardless of gender, marital status, race, religion, colour, age, disability or sexual orientation.

Apart from a real passion for learning, you probably dream in data - how it can be represented, handled, secured and manipulated. A bit of maths improves your day. You know a couple of programming languages pretty well (we do a lot of C# and Typescript, but you may know R, or Python too). You love working with other people, but value the opportunity to spend time in your own head, thinking things through.

You can learn more about our projects at https://endjin.com, see a video about our career development pathways https://vimeo.com/200191869 or read our blog https://blogs.endjin.com

If this sounds like a positive opportunity for you, then we'd love to hear from you. Email us at hello-at-endjin-dot-com
I'd actually be surprised if there weren't quite a bit of it still in the kernel.
Funding will move to those places as well. Google, Facebook have already invested Billions in Canada and China in last 1 year especially for AI.

Most countries are behind by say 5-10 years compared to USA but they have more people. An AI center in Shanghai can produce lot more in next 20 years than something in Bay Area. Lowerver birth rates in USA means USA is nearly assured to lose its competitiveness.
I don't think ARM64 works the way you think it does. On s390, there's a register for user-initiated access and a register for kernel-initiated access. On ARM64 (AIUI), there's a register for low (user) addresses and a register for high (kernel) addresses. So kASLR timing leaks on s390 shouldn't happen in the first place unless the TLB tagging itself is rather silly, but ARM64 has no inherent protection.

What ARM64's system does provide is a much simpler way to do a PTI-style pagetable split by twiddling the high address register at entry and exit.
Ok, we've taken twelve years out of the title above.
I think Germany has a similar system, at least for dentists. A simple check is 1 unit, root canals have more units, and the insurance sets the rate how many Euroes a unit costs...
I just released the website and any feedback is more than welcome. Thanks!
Unless they're broadcasting "just planting some drugs on this suspect, over", having the transmissions unencrypted probably isn't a very useful way of auditing police activity.

The article is poorly written but your comment is very clear. This looks totally fascinating. Is there some kind of introductory book you would recommend (graduate level)? One burning question that I would like to ask you is if computational chemistry has ever predicted reactions that had not been discovered before? That would be more than awesome.

The killer feature IMO for block chain technologies is their trustlessness. Mobile payments in China had the benefit of an extremely well built out cultural infrastructure of QR codes and also because the incumbent method of credit cards did not have a strong hold. It will be interesting to see if trust reduced systems translate into powerful global cultural infrastructure.

The class-based solution provides more information about the developer's approach than the single struct for the BitBoard.

For example, where would the equivalent of "findMoves" be declared in the latter case? Is the bitmath abstracted out into a set of helpers, or is it done in one big function?

Hey Ryel,
Thanks for checking it out. I didn't think of that idea, of automating the summaries and letting the community edit them. Initially when I thought of the app, I resisted automating summaries since thats what a lot of summarizing algorithms do but still miss out crucial parts. But your approach has a fix for that problem.
Thanks! I didn't know about these services, but I just checked, and AT&T doesn't provide service here, and I couldn't find anything about Verizon offering service (or not) in my area. I may just walk into a store and ask.

More productivity allows the work to get done with fewer workers, which is generally a good thing in normal economic conditions.
The OP has translated the interviewers question of "design a readable and maintainable abstraction for a chessboard" into "design the most space-optimized chessboard possible", then wonders why the interviewer doesn't like his solution.

No, but it’s straightforward engineering to prevent many of these problems. Error-correcting codes have been well understood for most of a century. Yes, it costs in performance and in money. For life-safety applications, it shouldn’t be optional.

Amazon is hosting life-safety applications in EC2. Commodity x86 hardware is grossly negligent for that environment.

Awesome concept on usability testing exchange! This reminds me of the interviewing.io model, which I also highly regarded.

I think this sort of karma-enforced-sharing model could work in a lot a fields, but the big disadvantage I anticipate is not having any experts in the mix. Do you have any ideas for how to minimize this disadvantage?
I am not satisfied by picture proofs, I'd like to see derivations from axioms and known results.

I love pictures that give me intuition about a proof and I agree that intuition is crucial to understanding. But all the intuition in the world is useless if the proof fails because of one tiny logically unsound step or one pathological corner case, so it's no good to ignore the technical details or, even worse, to become unable to expand a purpoted proof one has written into a fully detailed version, which I suppose can easily happen if someone relies too much on intuition.

Facebook operates mostly in the realm of social communication/organization and general information sharing, so that is where the "disruption" would take place.

ChemoWave | El Segundo, CA | On Site | http://chemowave.com

TTI develops software applications to chronicle and generate treatment insights on the personal experiences of patients with high acuity or chronic conditions. We recently launched an iTunes app for chemotherapy patients (chemoWave); and we have aggressive plans to enhance our current software, extend it to other platforms (including Android), and build new apps that improve treatment experiences for other chronic diseases beyond cancer.

We’re looking for a smart, creative, and self-motivated individual who thrives in a fast-paced startup environment. You’ll be focusing mainly on the Android app, tackling new features, squashing bugs, and helping to keep the code base clean. You will be part of a growing Tech Team that is focused on improving the iOS app currently on the App Store, as well as building the new Android version of the chemoWave app and submitting it to market.

You can email us at mikey [at] chemowave.com or apply at https://angel.co/treatment-technologies-insights/jobs/311242...
They do have cell coverage, but it's trivial to blow through the data caps ("unlimited" is a lie... they throttle you significantly).

Even if my parents got rid of their $120/mo satellite tv package, they couldn't replace it with a streaming service because of the data costs.
AI in its current deep-learning form tends to reward concentration. The hardest part of building an AI company is collecting training data; big tech companies already have oodles of that, and the products, userbase, and infrastructure to collect more.

There may be some new big tech companies as AI lets software push into niches that haven't been computerized yet, but the same market dynamics will likely play out there, leading to one big winner per corpus. It's not economical to collect the same corpus more than once, and right now the first player to collect it has no incentive to share it.

The only thing I can think of that would reverse this would be legal regulations that either make all data public (unlikely), or that grant ownership of them to the person they're about rather than the corporate entity that collects them, or a technological solution that can enforce the latter while still allowing large-scale aggregation and machine-learning over multiple people.
Erik Rose's Constructive Code Review from PyCon stands out for me as a talk I remember and come back to: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iNG1a--SIlk

It's nothing I didn't know intuitively, but it really lays out, with great examples, how to provide feedback accurately while not forgetting about being kind and humble. This is in stark contrast to an attitude I see often that confuses being direct and critical with being hostile or rude. It really deconstructs some of those dynamics in a way I hadn't paid attention to before. Also, it has a great summary of a simplified version of "getting things done" that made it appealing to me.
I took OP to mean "rowhammer style" in the sense of a chip operation having unexpected physical effects on nearby transistors; not an attack literally identical to rowhammer.
Really, abolish copyright and the replacement "business models" are: asking for donations, asking for continous investments via crowdfunding (which are really donations with IOUs attached) and live performances? (Which are not applicable to a large part of creative work)

I agree that copyright has taken ridiculous and perverse forms today, but I think the old point still stands that you have to find a solid alternative for creative workers before you can abolish it.
Copyright in some form is clearly beneficial; there are whole classes of creative professional that simply wouldn't exist without it. Not every form of creative activity can be effectively funded through live performance or digital begging.

99% of "content" being churned out by amateurs is absolutely dire. Producing creative works of serious merit requires a major investment of time and resources. Many skilled and talented people really would be put off investing that effort if they knew that an advertising company could use their music for free, or a publisher could churn out paperbacks without paying a royalty.

The primary problem is clearly understood - endless copyright extensions that offer no benefit to artists, but concentrate power in the hands of a few media companies. The duration of a patent is 20 years; I think this would be a reasonable basis for copyright. Failing that, I think that "author's life + 10 years" with an orphan works clause is also reasonable. What certainly isn't reasonable is the current duration of copyright, which is effectively forever.
*Amazon.

And that's what I last saw as well; Amazon would start selling Google devices.

Edit: Just tried it on my Fire TV Stick and I'm told to try Silk or Firefox.
Ya, I'm skeptical too. Let's say those foreign ads flipped 40k votes. That's statistical noise. But companies like Cambridge Analytics are only too happy to claim credit for having near supernatural powers. And obsessing over the margins keeps attention away from the huge, persistent, systemic, neglected problems.

Amusing ourselves to death.

More troubling are the rubes who fell for the protests / counterprotests organized by agitators.
Just for info, I live in Europe and health care is almost free for everyone, but most of the time the quality is terrible - if long waiting lists (sometimes longer than your expected lifetime), lack of most medication and having 2 patients in a single bed is what you think "somehow managed" means, then you are right. There is no free meal, but somehow people tend to ignore that.

Mimesis Machines and Millennials
I make a modest portion of my income on writing. For me, abolishing copyright would suck because I know what would happen: More of the same things that already happen. Organizations that command large audiences would slurp up my work and republish it, selling the space alongside to advertisers. People and groups with axes to grind would edit and redistribute my work to serve their own ends. I would lose income generated when publications want to reprint my work. Spammy websites would fill their pages with my text to look legitimate to search engines. And so on. I would have no legal recourse.

I agree that America's current version of copyright is flawed, and that rights-holders hold the rights for too long. Maybe copyright should require a tax, as some have proposed. Make it a penny for the first year, doubling annually.
Correct, only if you have YouTube Red, which is almost exclusively available in the US.
