At that point there is no such thing as identifying faked videos. Instead you'd rely on the abundance of independent videos and see how consistent they are. Generating a lot of them doesn't do you any good unless you can insert them into the black boxes of the 3 planes and 40 cars in the area, the databases of all the drone operators, the internal storage of all the nearby smartphones, etc.
Roubini Says Bitcoin Is the ‘Biggest Bubble in Human History’
Just yesterday I was using someone's computer with Word 2013 on it and even with my existing cynicism I was surprised to find that it takes four mouse clicks to bring up an OS-native open file dialog, pointing at the user's default folder as chosen in the options.

All these clicks are for ploughing through the 'Backstage' view giving you various roads for recent documents, favourites, OneDrive etc, despite the fact that most of these things are already addressed by the native open file dialog. (And turning off the 'Backstage' view in the options doesn't actually turn it off for mouse users, only for the Ctrl-O keyboard shortcut.)

After the complaints in the LibreOffice thread the other day about its 'old'-looking menus it was a reminder that modern Microsoft UI is generally a hot mess that I'm happy for them not to rush into.
Thank you guys for the comments. I am going to re-word this next time. While I like the general idea of "Done, gets things smart", some of the content of that post is describing a top 0.1% type person and is over the top for a general job posting.

I know I am not a top 0.1% programmer and while I am solid and want to hire people smarter than me the full scope of that piece is extreme.

Nonetheless I make no apologies for wanting to hire very smart people. If a software company's ability to execute is a function of the collective intelligence of the team, it is critical to have smart people.

All the best guys!

I was in graduate school in the biological sciences, and the vast majority of papers were formatted using word and some extension for reference management. At one point I really wanted to switch to LaTeX, but it was too much of a learning hurdle given all the other stuff I already had to do.
Same as it's up to people if they wanna use vaccine or not? The thing is:

1. Those people then are saying how bad and full of viruses Windows it's, even if it's only their fault. It's good for technically not-inclined users. And MS is only loosing here, as well as those users.

2. This is how you get botnets, which then take your worldwide DNS down. But yeah, it's only up to these people. Why would I care about botnets DDoS'ing half the net? And why would I care that companies are handling my sensitive personal data on insecure computers? Yeah, no worries. It should only be up to them...
That's not necessarily a good thing. Sometimes it's necessary for people to believe something factual. Blanket skepticism can be very destructive in these cases.
Nothing loads for me. When I try to hit back in the browser by using the shortcut keys, it shows the game loaded for a moment then goes back to the loading screen.

I Quit Twitter and It Feels Great
It makes the use of stunt doubles easier as well since the actor's face can be mapped to the body double. And it isn't like this point in time wasn't predicted by just about everyone in CS. Given enough computer power and the right algorithm pretty much any data is fungible, video or otherwise.

But we've just entered the most dangerous period when most people still believe what they see in a video is what was originally videoed. It is when people will use this technology for deception and get away with it like they did with Photoshop before 'shopped!' came into the more general populations consciousness.
Yes; it appears on the lock screen or as soon as you start to pull down notifications.
I often find starting a new book to be the most challenging part. Once I get into the second or third chapter, I feel oriented as to what the book is about and where it's going, and I want to continue reading to see how it turns out. But the first chapter or two can take effort to pull myself through.

But also, be sure to select books you really think you will find interesting. I have surely read some best sellers, but I did not end up selecting them because they were best sellers. Perusing the current NYT best seller list, I see a few books that I might be interested in reading, but frankly, I have stacks of other books waiting to be read that appear more interesting to me.

> - Frequent forced reboots

At least on this point I'll have to anecdotally disagree. I've been on 10 for more than a year now and I haven't suffered even a single forced reboot. Sometimes the OS notifies me of impending restarts, but they're always hours away so I have time to finish my work. It is, IME at least, more stable than all previous versions of Windows.
As a Norwegian who has lived in the Netherlands for 3 years, I'd say there is many similar traits there. The dutch are known as traders and business men but don't seem particularly concerned with opulence. The attitude towards public display of wealth seems very similar to the Scandinavian view.

The richest man in Norway Olav Thon, has very similar behavior to Kamprad. He drives an old car, doesn't wear particularly fancy clothes. For him it seems more about the game. He loves the game of doing business and winning. It is not what you can do with money personally that matters.

Younger Scandinavian billionaires seem more into spending their money though. The American lifestyle and values are definitely spreading.
Narrative I/O | New York, NY | Full-time | ONSITE, REMOTE | http://narrative.io/

Narrative is building the first global data marketplace. It has often been said that data is the new currency. Unfortunately, maximizing the value of data is often easier said than done. On one side, transacting via individual point to point integrations carries a lot of overhead in both business development and technical integration efforts. On the other, going through big aggregators introduces opacity in the pricing and provenance of the data. At Narrative, we help our customers get value from their data by building a central auction platform to reduce the friction and tooling to increase the transparency in this process.

We are a small, early stage team looking for great developers who want to jump in and take major systems and user-facing features from design to launch. Here's where we are now:

- We are operating in Amazon Web Services. Our services are mainly deployed on EC2 provisioned with Terraform.

- We also heavily use other technology on AWS such as DynamoDB, S3, and RDS.

- Our backend includes a data ingestion web service with supporting Kinesis consumers, along with a growing array of Spark projects. It’s written mostly in Scala, with a smattering of Python for lambda functions.

- We sit somewhere in the middle of the “Scala as a worse Haskell” and “Scala as a better Java” spectrum. We love functional programming and we do make use of libraries like cats, but at the same time we heavily favor core language features and have no intention of rewriting everything using Free Monads.

- Our frontend is written in Typescript with Angular2 and a supporting API running on Node, and is deployed and monitored using much the same supporting tech as the backend.

- Other services we use include: GitHub, CircleCI, DataDog.

BloomReach | Backend Engineer | Dallas, TX | Full time | Onsite | https://bloomreach.com/

Howdy. BloomReach’s Platform team has two Dallas spots open for software engineers. If you love to get your hands dirty with web-scale data infrastructure projects, give me a ping (I’m on the team).

https://www.bloomreach.com/en/about/careers/development/soft...

Current infrastructure tech we’re using (non-exhaustive): solrcloud, kafka, c*, spark, emr, redis all deployed and managed on aws.

If BloomReach is new to you: we’re a product and engineering driven company, headquartered in Mountain View, CA, with a Dallas office of 15 people just north of downtown by House of Blues. We opened up shop here 2 years ago. Most of our products revolve around search, analytics, personalization, and content management and power many of the biggest brands online.

I’ve been part of the company for 6 of it's 9 years and I’m just as excited as when I started. We’re coming off a crazy Q4 and 2017 where we unseated large and entrenched competitors with 2 of our new products. For what its worth, both products are well-placed in Gartner’s 2018 magic quadrant for their respectitve categories.

Our founder and CEO, Raj, built the company with a goal to make BloomReach the most impactful professional experience of each employee’s career. I can attest to that so far. You’re going to be hard pressed to find a better place to work in Dallas for software eng.

And if you’re not the engineer type, we also have Solution Architect, Solution Engineer, Senior PM, Senior Sales Analyst, and Sales Development Rep positions open in Dallas too (check career pages for those or message me stormy@bloomreach.com).

Maybe a second layer of AI that cleans up that video-of-video look?

The "just sign the photos" line of thought fails in exactly the same way DRM does, yet its brought up every time this issue is raised on HN...
The phone has enough metadata to make that easy to expose, at least in the simple case. There's GPS location, time, and even your Face ID verification (on iPhone X) to prove that it was really you holding the camera.

If you make your fake video after the event, the location and time will be obviously off.
I don't disagree, but I hope that the transition will be eased by the fact that the photoshop transition is within living memory of so many.
Some of them, unfortunately, are pretty damn convincing.
I can't really complain, this is definitely an improvement, but there's still no IDAPython support for scripting - just the archaic IDC :(

You don't even have to boil it, technically. Most pathogens die at a much lower temperature, given enough time.

For what it is worth, our backwoods trip had us looking for clear, running water that had a small amount of green stuff growing in it, on the theory that if it wasn't killing greenery, then it wasn't killing you. Then, a treatment with off the shelf iodine tablets. No filtering needed. The iodine added an unpleasant taste, but I thought that was better than the gut-crunching alternative.

The article vastly overstates it's conclusions to dangerous effects. A cursory search of medical literature finds plentiful epidemiological evidence. Cases of water borne sickness are not infrequently reported all over the country. One cannot rely on visual clues alone to confirm absence of human or agricultural activity nearby. Worse yet, backcountry hikers may quickly find themselves in a life-threatening situation even after a mild injury or persistent symptom, like diarrhea. A twisted ankle is no big deal in the city, but a serious medical emergency when you are on top of a mountain.

One does not have to buy the hype of big filter---just boil your water or use iodine to stay safe.

> And what’s more: “This is a small, close-knit community in a foreign country that has a history of being hostile to the United States,” he says. “That is a classic setup for an outbreak of mass psychogenic illness.”

A small close-knit community that is already anxious and on its edge could also describe Salem right before the witch trials. I remember reading a hypothesis about some fungal spores possibly causing real hallucinations, but this could be another possibility.

Sudoku is where the pattern stood out starkly for me. Essentially trivial solvers are better than all humans.
Before movies, why not insert friends into your video game?

Or how about creating a company that sells profiles each of which would be a collection of high quality photos/videos. In turn if you have a video game or movie you can get a random actor with the body you want and swap the face with the face you want?

Or even better create a service where individuals can upload their own photos which they can get some of the profit if their profile is used.

PID controllers always control around a nominal operating point (which you pick), which is why deviation variables are typically used in the mathematical derivation. That's just the basis of the control algorithm.
Top 5 chat tools for businesses: Which are the other competitors for slack?
I think the market is saturated. Most people in rich countries are getting the mobile experience they desire (anecdotally: just look at how addicted the user-base is) even at the price points they desire. The phones provide so much value that they do not need to be replaced as often.
Thanks for the link, I'll make sure to read it.

In regards to trust, you can actually view the diagnostic data since the insider build half a month ago using windows diagnostic data viewer.

True, but the investment pays off at about the 4th executable running.
It is not a question about safety, it is about security. To illustrate the difference, in an airport, safety is about properly maintaining planes and security is about keeping terrorists out.

If we exclude all potential issues except those related to meltdown and spectre, Intel chips are perfectly safe, the results are correct and there is no crash. It means that if they were safe to use in critical systems like engine control units, they still are.

Meltdown and spectre are security bugs, they are usually treated differently from safety problems like with cars and drugs.
Usually Microsoft has released Office for Mac as different year numbers than the Windows releases — so I'd expect the next release of the Mac product will be something like 2020 or 2021. (All this may have changed since Office365 etc came about, please correct me if I'm mistaken.)
Why isn't just getting rid of coupons a viable option?

You don't get giardiasis from "failing to wash your hands after using the bathroom". You get it from drinking water contaminated with animal feces.

There is absolutely no doubt about this.

That doesn't even make sense, if you think about it. The only way to be exposed to one of these diseases from your own feces would be if you already had the disease.

Washing your hands can help prevent infections from spreading to others, certainly, but your own gut microflora is extremely unlikely to pose a threat to you personall.
Yes, L2 Inc research (see their YouTube channel) and the book "The Four: The Hidden DNA of Amazon, Apple, Facebook and Google" by Scott Galloway.
You're right to be skeptical of witnesses, but recordings are also not either/or. Even if you have some sort of digital signature scheme such that a camera can somehow sign its footage and the time and location it was recorded (a scheme that currently is fairly uncommon), how could it encode the circumstance in which the footage was recorded? Who is responsible for maintaining the signature scheme, and why can we trust them? In the absence of any aspect of that scheme, why shouldn't we closely scrutinize video and audio evidence as much as we scrutinize witness testimony?
The joke was that the version with the middle finger was the real one, and they faked the "original". This created a lot of confusion :)

This is just the beginning though. The iPhone 1. Imagine the iPhone X version of this. It's open source now; it was made by one person. Now imagine it after 10,000 people have worked on that code. This will become so streamlined and efficient you won't be able to tell at all. Some of the good ones are already extremely convincing, you just have to give it appropriate training data, choose a good model to swap with, etc.
Exactly right. If you're plane crashed in the Sierras and your trying to survive until rescue can arrive, I can see you risking it (after all a lack of water will definitely kill you, water with Giadarsis in it will just make you sick). But If you are hiking/camping and you have the opportunity to bring something that can filter out that stuff, you will avoid some seriously nasty bad times.
You're right, lumping police departments and newspapers in with intelligence agencies is pretty silly.
Puerto Rico is still in the US...I don't really understand how they expect to avoid taxes by being in Peurto Rico.

Also pay your fucking taxes you entitled douchebags.
Iodine water treatment is even cheaper, more effective against viruses, and you don't have to guess about the age of the filter. I've been using the same bottle of Polar Pure for about a decade.

Believing 'the truth' is a huge can of worms here.

Verifying the legitimacy and accuracy of 'news' claims and representations has always been very difficult for the lay person. We are now well into an era when 'the truth' is even harder to find.

'Believe nothing of what you hear and only half of what you see' (Edgar Allen Poe) has now become 'believe nothing of what you see' too, at least until you have verified to your level of satisfaction...
At first, I thought it was a joke or a fake post, especially with: "music was often played while participants danced, as that was believed to be an effective remedy" but "music encouraged others to join in however, and thus effectively made things worse". I'd assume that music would encourage dancing, but perhaps that was not the norm during those days.

I’ve been a big outdoors person all my life and regularly go backpacking and drink mountain stream and spring water. I’m also a big advocate of being realistic about risks and not sweating stuff that’s scary but extremely unlikely.

That said, I know people personally who have had giardiasis. It’s awful. On a typical backpacking trip I’ll get water from from a bunch of different sources along the way, often not knowing what’s upstream. A few seconds of stirring my water with a lightweight UV sterilizer pen which I bought for $60 years ago is relatively low cost insurance against a risk which is hard to assess in the moment.

My understanding is that much of the research on giardia et al has been in a few specific wilderness areas, and widespread sampling studies of many water sources are fairly few, so using what little research does exist to inform my decision to drink directly from a random mountain stream seems dubious.

Go has an excellent set of SDL2 bindings:
https://github.com/veandco/go-sdl2

They do a very good job of making the API relatively idiomatic to Go without adding overhead, and I haven't run into any bugs yet.

I have been using them as part of a twitch series that teaches programming via small game projects. I go through how to get SDL2 up and running in episode 6:

https://www.twitch.tv/jackmott42/videos/all

There are aspects of Go that should make it better for game related programming. The low latency GC is a very good thing, compiling to native binaries means quicker start up time, and better responsiveness than a JIT, and easier distribution. Fast compile times are also very nice for many game programming workflows.

I used to play the game Mined-out on the Dragon 32. You have a start and an exit, and have to tread a path one square at a time travelling between, with clues about how many adjacent mines there are. To spice things up, you get a beast chasing you after a while, down previous paths you've trodden.

Cramps and diarrhea, meh. The concerns are many though. Osmotic diarrhea from the cholera dead carcass is shedding can kill you in a 48 hours (this was a huge problem for the Kurds after the first gulf war and in Haiti in ... 2012?). Shistosomiasis, tinea solium, etc, etc.

And the risk with the asymptomatic infections is that you become the vector. See Typhoid Mary. Giardia may not kill you, but it might stunt your kid's growth.

Finally, 5.7% risk of infection is non-trivial. If the was a 1:20 adds of you falling and hitting your head in the shower, I bet you'd take baths or just skip bathing entirely.
I got into Dota 2 after League -- now THAT is a great game to watch. I played for a while before quitting that, too; as you say, it sucks up a lot of time, and there was no surrender option. Going to the International must be a great experience, though.
But what's with the Sangam Era that (some people thinks) the gov is trying to cover?
It's more about conforming to the standards of the field. I can think of maybe one or two articles written in Word that I've seen on the arxiv ever (maybe it's different outside hepex and astro?).
As long as you can download the installer once and save it to DVD/USB, I think that's a legitimate decision too. Producing physical install media, boxes etc. is an overhead that I'm guessing most people would rather do without these days.
