It's also significant given the overall state of the market.

Even accounting for an overall growth trend (e.g. real GDP) the market is looking quite overbought and prepared for a major crash. Signs of weakness like this are significant. It certainly doesn't guarantee a crash, but it's newsworthy IMO. Especially in the context of a decade of QE and the fed raising rates.
Of the places I've encountered Mumps/Pick/Cache, there has always been that one gatekeeper guy - only he knew the arcane abbreviations and structure in his head, everyone else had to bow and scrape to get things done.

Very good language if unmaintainable, arcane code and/or job security through obscurity is your thing. Cache even let it onto the web some years back I think with ObjectScript. Just wholly nasty. The politics in medical software has been pretty rife from what I've experienced too.
Plot what?

You've made an assertion, but you haven't supported it.

It's not like the models say the US went from "3 bad hurricanes a year" to "4 bad hurricanes a year."

They say what was a pretty terrible hurricane in 2017 would have been a lesser storm in <2017 (due to sea levels and water temperature).

I never knew there were seeing eye horses. This is an awesome world we live in.
Even during the darkest days of the "lost decade" in Japan their companies never gave up on manufacturing and innovating. There were struggles, failures, but also successes. In that time Sony managed to dominate televisions and, later on, game consoles.

The level of utter destruction the US economy will face if it continues to double down on hedge-fund style acquisition/mergering of every one plus dog is hard to fathom, but it will be considerable. The remaining manufacturers are being managed into the ground, everything they do is being out-sourced, "streamlined", and systematically destroyed.

I wouldn't be surprised if the handful of companies that still make things in the US, like Ford, Boeing, and General Electric, are bought up, "reorganized" and sold off piecemeal, squeezing some juicy shareholder value out of them before throwing out the husk.

You have to do more than "invest" in things in order to have a functional economy. Shares don't employ people, sales of product and services do, and if people can't afford those products or services because you laid them all off as a cost-saving measure then you're doomed.

Does anyone know the story behind why these slides keep getting updated? Is this a databases class?
ah, the optional new should be enough I think.
Huh, I feel the exact opposite here. melt/gather feel very similar, but spread seems like a massive improvement in UI over dcast.

Used to be a big data.table fan, until I realized I could read my dplyr code as easily a week later as when I wrote it.
Trying to find a correlation between how the actual economy is doing and the current president is in my opinion a foolish endeavor. It takes way too long for a policy change to actually impact the economy and on top of that it's pretty much impossible to isolate the cause of the economic change. How the market reacts in the short term is even less relevant since it really only says how a certain group of people likes the change and isn't necessarily related at all to how the economy will nee impacted by the change.

Every time a president claims economic growth to be because of them they reveal themselves to either be a liar or a fool.
I wonder what share of those "unseen crimes" are victimless? Such as dealing drugs through darknet marketplaces. Decriminalizing such activities could lighten the workload, perhaps considerably.

More generally, unsolvable online crime is arguably an unavoidable cost of online privacy and freedom. Just as with encryption, having backdoors for some good guys (cops) puts other good guys (dissidents) at risk from bad guys (repressive regimes).
Really? I just bought a 2017 Honda Civic and Carplay/Android auto are natively supported by the built-in tablet that comes stock with all Civics... and the base model doesn't have navigation built in but I haven't needed it as I always use Android auto w/ Maps/Waze.
If salaries aren't coming out of investor profits, they have to come out of the cost of goods.

The only way workers can win is:

1. Productivity gains make goods easier to make.

2. A bigger share of investor profits get redistributed to workers, be it through taxes, pension fund investments, co-ops.

#2 will not be happening anytime soon.

Unfilled job postings doesn't mean there's a shortage. There might be a shortage of experienced IT security experts willing to work for $40k in the most expensive cities of the world, but if there was an actual job shortage, degrees and certifications wouldn't be a requirement, they'd just take a risk hiring people willing to learn.
Seems like they are mishmashing common carrier, the safe harbor provisions of the DMCA, and some magic dust and calling it “liability shield”.
Same here in terms of stability. I've been using a touch bar MBP 15 for several months and its been rock solid (still on Sierra though).

That being said, I HATE the keyboard and the touchbar is just dumb. The battery life is worse as well (although still way better than my Windows laptops). I wish I just had my old machine back to be honest.

That keyboard though.... ass
Yes, thank you. I do get all that.

But, due to how the GP seemed to conflate Wordpress, and "everything else" I wondered what was the basis for his comment. I'm pretty clear on the security of WP itself.

> Some plugin developers/maintainers are incredibly diligent and helpful, but I've also been threatened with legal action (more than once) when I've disclosed some really amateur security issues.

Most WP plugins are terrible from a security perspective, and I've found the quickest method to resolution is to send a patch to the devs, solving the problem for them and me.
I mean, technically it's a composite photo, but it's compositing 3 photos of the exact same thing (with different settings). That's not what we're talking about here when we talk about composite photos, especially because the whole point of HDR is to try and recreate what your eye is seeing.
I did a quick check and compared VOO (SP500) versus VTI (total market) and they have an equivalent performance over the past five years (within 0.20% gain), VOO didn't exist ten years ago and missed the last big crash. Both hold the same top ten holdings with the slight less weighting for VTI that one would expect. This may be harder than you think.

I would guess a lot of people think they could be better at security, but not better enough to matter. So why spend the money. The fact is all our systems are broken from a security point of view from the ground up, and there's no solution in sight. The internet was built to share data, not hide it.
That was my general thesis which is how do these companies solve for the problem of random bikes all over the place? I guess you can incentivize users enough for them to dock it but then does that become a burden and uneconomical for the company.
That was a very informative video. My respect for the CEO shot up quickly. He wasn't really trying to sell anything but simply illustrating points of concern.

I can tell he very much enjoys doing what he does.

This is the real cause of economic growth. The Soviet Union and the People's Republic of China industrialized at only a slightly slower rate then the West, despite not having much in the way of property rights or capital markets.

Without two hundred years of unsustainable consumption of fossil fuels, property rights or capital markets wouldn't have given us a fraction of the economic growth that we got. Stock exchanges don't do much for you when 97% of your population are either subsistance peasants, or make hand-crafted tools used by subsistance peasants, and you have to spend 8 hours a day banging rocks together to stay warm and to scare away mountain lions.

1. This is written and published by Cyber Security Ventures. Their bias should be obvious.

2. The 3.5 million is a global number. India is projected to have 1 million of them.

3. The article seems to also try to drum up demand for Managed Security Service Providers, a service Cyber Security Ventures provides.

4. Many currently open Cybersecurity jobs pay less then what a tech minded person can get selling clicks or SQL reports. There is a difference between an "open position" and a position that meets the labor market. Open positions that stay open most likely are valued below the market. I'm sure many goverment agencies have open Cybersecurity jobs.

5. It's 2018, are we really going to keep using the word cyber?

All the examples cited by Patrick and legitimate and the animal has been trained. If there is not registration and certification for these important service animals, then there absolutely should be. It should be a simple matter at the end of the day for the airline to be able to provided verifiable documentation as to a service animal's legitimacy.
They never had a common carrier argument that held water.

Common Carrier is a legal term that refers to regulation under Title II of the Telecommunications Act. It grants the FCC the ability to classify certain communication companies as common carriers. That status can only be acquired by FCC action, not implicitly by following any standard set of rules.

The argument that taking action once creates a liability to police all content you're serving stems from an outdated court case.

The Communications Decency Act of 1996(!) specifically addressed the issue:

[..] Through the so-called Good Samaritan provision, [Section 230] also protects ISPs from liability for restricting access to certain material or giving others the technical means to restrict access to that material.
Any lawyers here? How much can he get for this?
Oh I remember this. Good. I hope it costs him.

Honest question though:

> As part of his guilty plea, Choi admitted that while attempting to recruit potential employees, he made false and misleading statements about various topics, including his educational and professional history, and the amount of his wealth. Choi admitted in his plea that, in truth, he never attended any business school, that he was never employed in any capacity by any financial institution, and that he exaggerated his wealth.

Is "making misleading statements about various topics" a crime? If you tell your employees that you went to whatever business school, or your net worth is whatever etc etc... is that a crime?
Little known is that one of the major MUMPS implementors, Harlan Stenn, is also the NTP maintainer. I remember him working on GNU MUMPS in the mid 90s, though it doesn’t look like thenimplementation still on his website is GPLed.

Kotlin & Java interop really seamlessly, that's one of kotlin's biggest features. Not interops like there's an FFI that is obviously an FFI, but interops like there's not much obvious difference between calling either way.

You won't get the kotlin syntax sugar, of course, but you're not going to be missing any features, either.

Agreed! I don't mind crazy composites at all. I like looking at all kinds of photography. I hate that he tries to claim its not composited. That seems impossible considering the clouds appear to be behind the moon. Also, how long of lens would be needed for that kind of compression? Seems impossible to have something that sharp at that kind of length. Several things point to a composite IMO.
I think of money as a claim check on labor (and to a lesser extent, other resources).

If everyone's income rises by 5% (and most of most people's income is spent rather than saved), I would expect prices to rise by about 5% and find that entirely logical.
Talk about closure, I'm sure those who were part of the scam can rest a little bit easier I hope, albeit at a heavy cost.

Thanks for the feedback! You can use `raw` parameter to configure any type of Highcharts chart you want (review GH for more info: https://github.com/whatl3y/restcharts).

It looks like Highcharts already supports a semicircle donut, so you could take the entire config object, `encodeURI(JSON.parse([config]))` it, and add it to the &raw= parameter to draw a semi-circle donut: https://www.highcharts.com/demo/pie-semi-circle

A working use-case within RESTCharts is as follows (shortened with google so the link doesn't break): http://goo.gl/NbJtqX

few other anecdotal observations:
their genius bar reservation web page literally redirects to an error page half the time! and not like a "planned" error page with a cute whale or something, but one with weird server logs that obviously are not meant for the end user

i'm not sure if I gave up on apple, or they gave up on me! end rant
Misrepresenting yourself in a business transaction for your own benefit is called fraud.
If they ever used misleading statements to bind a legal contract including employment, yes it is a crime.
Hell, I’d be happy if ISPs blocked outbound traffic with source IPs outside their blocks. That alone seems to be asking to much sadly.

I've been working on Observed-Remove Map and Set implementations that replicate the native Javascript API, as well as versions that use IPFS PubSub for synchronization.

The inherent tradeoffs can be challenging to explain. For example in these implementations, there are caching constraints on certain delete operations.

Automerge looks fantastic, and I look forward to more progress in the space.

It has a lot of attention right now and is attracting a lot of money. That’s good and bad... the investment is great but it’s attracting a lot of marginal talent with fancy credentials and not necessarily adding much. Reminds me of circa 1998 MCSEs.

Security is a tough field to begin with in that attracts a certain mindset. It’s especially bad in big orgs where security was mostly a policy and compliance org. Listening to would be cyber-warriors quack about OODA loops, challenge coins, and kill chains gets old fast. Particularly where the “kill chain” is interdicting field guys whose iPad didn’t update on time or execs who disabled AV.

Is both possible?
Thanks, Obama.

Probably not. If it was, for example, that Yahoo CEO, pre-Mayer, who also faked his credentials would have been arrested.
Except not everyone gets a salary. Higher worker pay means investors for example get a lower share of economic gains.
The problem with these schemes is that they're at odds with metaprogramming. One huge advantage of s-expressions is that the code is expressed using data literals. You can take any piece of code transform it as you would any regular data and then run it.

The biggest practical improvement that I've seen was Clojure notation that expands the number of data literals to include vectors, maps, and sets. I think this greatly helps with readability as it provides additional visual cues, while still preserving homoiconicity.
fwiw I was once browsing jobs wondering why one in particular had such strange hours and requirements until I realized that the search had also returned results for what amounted to security guards
In this case, it reflects fraud. On top of the wire fraud that he committed by emailing a false financial statement.

There’s also a difference between advanced users and power users. You can be an advanced user like people I know but not have lots of apps and thus icons installed. So no need for Bartender to hide them.

It's actually your mentality that gets you in trouble because it leads to individuals trying to time the market when they can't.

My assertion is that you cannot time the market at all. As a result, I'd just invest passively and immediately.

For data that supports my assertion, please see the edit of my original comment.

Well, one role in this might be that a lot of cybersecurity jobs are complete bullshit, and or their certifications are.

I won a free certification course as an EC-Council Certified Security Analyst, and it's the biggest joke I've ever seen. It's such a massive fucking joke that I decided to not even renew my certification for free because it would just have been a waste of time.

Most of these "cybersecurity" jobs are download Metasploit and run autopwn, install garbage antivirus everywhere. Maybe layer some more bullshit on top like network intrusion detection and web application firewalls. If you get still get owned talk some bullshit about how advanced the attack was and that there was nothing you could have done.

The other option is to go and write exploits and sell these to government agencies.

I don't really want to do either of those, so I'll stay far away from this field, even as an infosec enthusiast.

I'm sure theres also some real infosec jobs, but i'd say they're pretty rare.
Regarding High Sierra I’ve been telling myself that maybe Apple is is secretly busy with The Great Rewrite to migrate from Objective-C to Swift. Or maybe they are rewriting stuff to get it on the path to the one, unified OS. I really hope this is the reason because otherwise it is really, really sad.

There is still a UI bug that I must file because seemingly no one but me deactivated LCD font smoothing and discovered that text is printed in bold if it contains non-ASCII characters. It’s infuriating that it is still not fixed as apparently no one has noticed since the release of High Sierra. I stopped reporting bugs because often it’s a duplicate and gets closed which is demotivating. But I can't know beforehand because their bug tracker is closed.
When you're looking at effects, I think you need to dig down into what exactly is being extended.

Are more data sources being made available? Is data being preprocessed? Is an initial task being automated?

Because the truth of any worker (in less than a ruthlessly specialized huge company) is that they may be an "extended cognition" worker, but still perform many "non-extended cognition" activities as part of their job. Because there was previously no alternative and work needs to get done.

Fast forward that, and you're never going to fully automate a goal. But you will automate sections of the process that are amenable to machines.

Advice? Recognize which type of work you spend most of your time in, and don't get caught being the "non-extended cognition" person...
Its difficult to eliminate a condition like median annual income being between $3000-4000 - Rhino horn goes for $100,000/kg to the end user, so even assuming 20% for the poachers that several yearly wages split up among a few poachers.

Right.

Better yet, wait for the end of this correction, then buy more stock.

Better still, sell any stock you own, and at the end of this correction, buy it all back and more at a cheaper price. Yeah, that’s the ticket!

Guys, all we need to do is find out when this correction is going to end. I feel like we can narrow it down to between one day and one year from now.
Your point, well observed, is that there are very little repercussions. It is becoming important and more prominent (than say 10 years ago) due to constant media exposure and the constant breaches being seen, so there are a lot of roles being opened and functions are being built where there weren't any before. As a whole though, businesses will deprioritize security for increased business performance, which you can understand.

Regulations like GDPR coming along should have some bite to get people into action, but until that's actually observed there's not much going on.
Up to 30 years.

Perhaps the examples of BMW and Lexus, which were provided by the previous poster, would be a better comparison than Rolex for you? Car companies like those two, which focus their (multiple) brands for different levels of the market rather than diversifying the levels of the market covered by their brand, are a great example of keeping people thinking that one brand is "only for X type of buyer" while maintaining a presence across all corners of the market.
