Interesting comment regarding Conal Elliott. I've always thought there is some similarity between probabilistic programming (specify a probabilistic model as a graph), functional reactive programming (specify some reactivity as a graph) and deep learning (specify some linear algebra / calculus / optimization operations as a graph). Too bad the word "graphical programming" would be interpreted as "visual programming" (or programming using plots and charts!) and not programming using an explicit graph structure.
While I'm sure they're aware of Sci-Hub, they're not referring to that (well, not explicitly...). For example, another option is inter-library loan.

If we want to understand why users do what they do, perhaps we should ask the UX people. Alan Cooper in his book "The Inmates are Running the Asylum" says that one of the differences between programmers and ordinary people is that programmers worry a lot about what-if scenarios while ordinary people just hope for the best and then handle surprises as they arise.

If we are to change behavior of consumers, we have to work with their natural motivation. I think the most realistic plan is to subsidize core infrastructure with enough high-quality opensource software and hardware to drive commercial interest out of all security-sensitive components.

It's like when Wikipedia is subsidized by its editors to provide the common good of education. Opensource can be similarly subsidized by developers to provide the common good of security.
Agreed ‘out of the box’ sql data source (postgres for me) would be a killer feature to add.

I found the password (actually, it used an s/key generator[0]) by similar means to this write up. It didn't matter if I "found" it again because at this point I was in direct contact with them and considered "trusted". The principle that someone else could just as easily find it gets back to the lighting striking twice argument, and was refuted for a long time. Eventually they agreed to change behavior but it took a while.

The timeline on the below link only refers to one specific incident, the time discussing this in principle went for roughly 11 months, and left me extremely disillusioned with the concept of responsible disclosure.

Article gives you the idea that it would be taking pax to Rottnest Island (a popular tourist destination) but it's only registered as a 'recreational' so the only ppl going to Rottnest would be pilots themselves or a non-paying pax.

Payload is 200kg so that is basically two people and one suitcase.

30 minutes reserve might be enough for short hops but I've just finished reading various articles written over the years by Richard Collins (who writes a lot about safety) and he states that he always had a hard rule of a one hour reserve.

Still, the operating costs are crazy cheap. If they made a plane that had 3 hours range (2 hrs flying, 1 hr reserve) at 100+ knots with more payload, I'd be interested.

Apple stocks interview question
> untold costs

This really turns taxi service into some great horror. Uber didn't cure cancer or even invent the Internet (nor is it cheaper than cabs in cities I've been in); they just made a marginal improvement in one form of transportation, partly by using massive wealth to take on losses and by imposing externalities on others: The cost of cars on the drivers, safety on the passengers, traffic on the rest of the city (a big reason for medallions, afaik, was to avoid the traffic jams that Uber creates in cities). Cabs worked fine for many years, and still do.

> It’s like the quote from the Chronicles of Riddick, “sometimes the only way to stop evil is not with good. You must confront it with another kind of evil”.

Evil? Cabs are evil? If we're getting our philosophy from the Chronicles of Riddick, it suddenly all makes sense. The better sources of philosophy would disagree.

So should anyone who wants be able to break laws and abuse people? If the only justification you need is that cab service isn't great, what good are laws?
Those that denigrate Edison in favour of Tesla often ignore or aren’t aware of Tesla’s own dark side.

Here’s an article, a few years ago and also from Smithsonian Magazine, telling of some of Tesla’s disturbing opinions.

For example, advocating forced eugenics to weed out ‘undesirables’ from the human race. He felt that the forced sterilisation of criminals and mentally ill in Nazi Germany didn’t go far enough.

> I’m going to guess that your experience is based on a much older version of iOS, but it’s been quite nice for the past few years

I have an iPad and iPhone running iOS 11. I'm not alone in thinking that what should be a basic feature like text selection is awful.

From 10 days ago in the iOS subreddit, "Text Selection is Broken in iOS": https://www.reddit.com/r/ios/comments/7mcvhu/text_selection_...

> How can something so important & basic literally be broken in the most recent version of iOS?!

> It’s been like this for what seems like forever. Having to select some text an upwards of 10 times is pretty annoying.

It seems other people feel the same way.
Why do you think it's overhyped? It pushed state-of-art results in quite a few difficult domains by quite high margin; it's deservedly praised. Or you don't like that you can't really understand what is going on inside, despite it using simple math and primitive non-linear optimization, making it "conceptually" inferior and not as "tasty" to other ML methods where we can actually prove something?

No they are not. A lot of the same reports with same combination of htop + iTerm should prompt the company to investigate.

You don’t know whether or not they’ve investigated this issue or not.

There’s a decent chance they have, which might explain why I haven’t had this problem because I’m running a beta of 10.13.3 and nobody else on the GitHub thread is as far as I can see.

I also haven’t seen evidence of bug reports to Apple; that might’ve helped: https://developer.apple.com/bug-reporting/

OK. So let's keep going. You are correct, what I'm describing is atypical. Why is it atypical?

Is it because they need more stuff? Or is it because their brains are under near-constant assault from a barrage of advertising that melts their willpower and creates a link between having a free moment to themselves and consumption, a desperate instillation to keep up with the Joneses?

I would contend, and I'd fight about it, that the answer is the latter and that it is an overwhelming, brain-breaking external imposition. And it's in the service of making that particular number that's the topic of that article just a little bigger.

We need to stop fucking ourselves up as people and as communities and measures that do not take that into account are bad measures that should not be fetishized. (And they are fetishized. They are drooled over. And yet nobody dies taking pride in how they made GDP bigger.)
The web gives you a lot of things for free that are hard on native. Engineering is always about trade offs and you’re going to see more people opting to accept the tradoffs of the web over native on mobile, just as they have for years already on the desktop.
Amazing considering that both FF and Chrome point this out when opening a private window.

Firefox:

> Private Browsing doesn’t make you anonymous on the Internet. Your employer or Internet service provider can still know what page you visit.

Chrome:

> Your activity might still be visible to:

> * Websites you visit

> * Your employer or school

> * Your internet service provider

Though I'd argue that Chrome's message is less explicit because of the "might still be".

I also seem to remember that Chrome at one point used slightly more playful language explaining that incognito mode doesn't protect you from people looking over your shoulder either but that no longer seems to be the case.

Wow. Don't think I've had a comment with negative points on HN before. Curious as to why the downvotes. I was attempting to point out that I did not consider what I said in the original comment to be a hard and fast rule.

Is the objection that the way I said it was too disrespectful (no offense was intended, hence the :-) )? Disagreeing with the original statement (it might have downvotes too, but maybe more upvotes are hiding that)? Too obvious? Something else?

To get AI you have an interface problem you need to solve since reality is a bitch to parse; this is just the start, what about the formulation of goals? How would you even make that in code? You would need to start with a certain kind of data that was extracted by the sensors but how will you ever know you have the correct set? You have two problems to solve simultaneously getting the right data and building the right system on top of it -- this core data when done in reality is not the same core data that would make this possible in a simulation and the system on top while maybe having the same fundamental form is also very likely different. Makings intelligent agents in a simulation is not the same as making intelligent agents arbitrarily useful in the real world, granted a simulation is a good means to explore techniques -- in a simulation I control the sensory apparatus of the agent perfectly. So I think the lesson is you either build systems from which it is easy to stream data and configure programmatically or deal with the fact that this is likely impossible without simulating a universe to high fidelity. Deep Learning is extremely useful as it is, not the same as cryptocurrencies which are useful but this usefulness will never be properly realized due to human nature -- right now their primary purpose seems to be to satiate greed and humans with poor impulse control while promising a lot of outlandish things.
I can tell you that most German companies that take their code's legal status seriously would reject anonymous PRs simply because it is an unnecessary liability.

> Additionally, software is special cased in German copyright law (§ 69b): the employer automatically gets all exclusive exploitation rights.

Keep in mind that's only for regular employees. Freelancers are not considered employees so §69b doesn't apply (despite the part about "service relationships"). If licensing isn't part of the contract (or more likely: if there is no formal contract at all), the freelancer retains all rights and just grants a non-exclusive non-transferable irrevocable usage right.

So if you hire a freelancer and want something more than that, make sure to set up an actual contract approved by an actual lawyer.

This might be off-base, but i think your problem is not about storing information, more about keeping all that info in your mind so you can apply it. I tend to have an itch to catalogue and store information, but it quickly reveals that the constraint is time and what I can keep in my head rather than the info i have squirreled away somewhere.

The key is to understand that organizing/filtering the relevant info is a separate task from cataloguing. I spend a little time every week doing that.

There is a certain threshold of gullibility that can swing the society one way or another if you just start encouraging free speech without any tools to interpret and deal with it and its cognitive load. Either you have people eventually start being able to handle intellectually honest discussions, or everyone starts spewing shit and the people just succumb to the most enticing argument they hear and start parrotting it.

Yes and no. There is such a thing as an irrevocable usage right. But I'll concede that even an irrevocable right can be nullified under the right conditions (e.g. if the person granting it wasn't actually in the legal position to do so).

The biggest beef I have with GDP is that it does not capture how we run down natural capital to create financial capital. Pollute our seas, cut down our forests, poison our air: this is all a capital loss, but reflected as a financial gain in GDP statistics, even though finance is a human abstraction and our natural capital is real. In Swahili, the word for nauture is maliasili, also translated as ‘genuine wealth’. We have something to learn from that.

If the backdoor was a hack for easier debugging that got left in, not having it during development could make for a longer more expensive development cycle. In which case
it should have been removed before production.

It could also be intended as a support tool to ease hard to debug solutions remotely. Not having it could make support issues more expensive and slower. Very insecure and misguided (security by obscurity is not security) if this is the case, but not malicious. Just a stupid attempt at saving money. This apparently was the case for another commenter
on a different product.

While it's possible it was placed with malicious intent, there are plausible (and all too common) alternatives that explain it.

> IANAL but unwanted advances in the workplace constitutes sexual harassment

No, it doesn’t.

Asking a colleague someone on a date may be an “unwanted advance” but that is not sexual harassment. Even asking someone on a date and having them decline multiple times is not sexual harassment, so long as the asker is polite and respectful about it.

Sexual harassment is a fairly high legal bar in the USA. You can sue for just about anything, but if you want to win you need evidence of truly bad behavior.

Which is as it should be; convicting based solely on the accuser’s testimony is not fair no matter the crime.
