It's an ice-breaker. "What, FizzBuzz, do you actually use it for something?" "Yeah, well, it's still useful for article list styling." "Wouldn't CSS be a better tool for this?" "Whatever works - how would you do it using that?" And voila, you're both engaged in conversation and talking about relevant candidate experience. Being able to do modulo is not quite the point. (Or, you could start with FizzBuzz, bring up own code, and discuss various ways of implementing: iteration, recursion, and the issues of each. Or perhaps something domain-specific: "we have 20 parallel producers, but we still want to tag every 3rd and every 5th item in the aggregate output, now what?")

We had a candidate who actually failed this test, but he tried to completely fake any knowledge with self-confidence. (It was an entry-level position, but while people can learn most things for the job, the inability to algorithmize seems to be extremely hard to overcome - had another cow-orker who never tried to understand iteration, always went around asking if someone else could write it instead; gets rather weird twentieth time around)
That’s true, although you might want to use something like docusign for that.
Yes that's what I thought I learnt as much from the practical and project based parts of my ccna course - even more so when I came in on a day off and spent a day investigating some edge cases where the course material was incorrect.
Sounds like the author isn't familiar with the history of Vietnam, Afghanistan, or Iraq.
The bikes aren't the problem. Stock bikes are surprisingly quiet. As someone who likes riding (Suzuki Bandit 600, Yamaha XT660X) and is perfectly happy with stock pipes, I don't appreciate being lumped in with the idiots, and I would absolutely fight against a ban.
What would an average salary for a medium-level dev look like? I've seen 40k GBP a few times, but that seems quite low.
It's not. An Eizo EX3 sells for 85 bucks here, a Spyder 5 for 95. A ColorHug2 amounts to 115. Since the ColorHug2 doesn't include the actual calibration software, it is equal to the EX3. Paying 35% more just for the "Open Hardware" label and then not being able to reap the expected benefits (better support etc.) doesn't sound like a good deal.
I personally see it as a skill, and one that should be self trained.

Trick 1: Improve your cardio health.

Generally a balanced meal gives you a lot of willpower. Cardio exercise specifically seems to improve recover rate a lot, not just physical but mental.

Trick 2: Develop a trigger.

Find a routine, a kind of trigger that puts you in the mood to work. There's a trigger already built into all of us, a moment of serenity that we see as taking a break.

This is the kind of productive thing that makes you work late at night, or weekends, or continue nonstop for 20 hours straight. It might not even be work - it could be a game, book, or some tedious hobby like woodworking.

I use Linkin Park songs because my productive moments were making games in school. I also saw Chester Bennington as a role model, because of his emotional drive and his success as a VC. Some of his songs also resonate with me on a spiritual level. His suicide got to me, and I find his songs as a sudden reminder of why I do what I do.

It doesn't have to be a song. It can be something like flipping a coin between your fingers, taking a deep breath, pumping your fist, a 5 minute meditation. The more portable the better - you don't want it to be something like eating a can of spinach.

You also need to associate the trigger with positive things. One of my mistakes was poisoning an old trigger with death marches.

Whenever you hit a moment of pure joy, try to associate that with your trigger. It could be the completion of a tough patch of work, playing with kids, breathing fresh morning air.

There's a lot of principles that go into this, but I would recommend the books The Power of Habit and The Art of Learning if you want more details.
You are totally right about the desocialization. When having such a life, you have a lot of time but it is not aligned with the free time of most people. So you have no real choice: you either hang alone or other people on welfare.

Also, the kind of cultural activities that are subsidized is not the ones that people on welfare attend. When you have the cultural background to know why going to the library is useful or important, you likely not end being on welfare. Similarly, if you lend there because you have no skills, the free time you have that could be used for self learning will not by used as such. So I see the whole system as a kind of trap, once you lend there it is game over because you’re basically provided money to shut up but have no real and effective support to improve your situation.
Ah, good point. So this will be a generational clash...
No they won't. My first though reading the article was "What kind of asshole does that". It's not a scientific experiment, it's more of a vice. Students aren't your labrats.
And modern fascism doesn't work like this. They don't need to report what they see, just to carry this camera with them at all times and agree to data mining. Their rebellious passion is misdirected to meaningless causes like lgbtbbq++, women ratios in videogames and forcing starving women to take off the hijabs, as if that'll change anything.
Teens born in the 2000s are probably the most brainwashed generation so far, not because of some innate characteristic they have, but because of the power we gave to corporate giants to invade our homes and brainwash our kids.
SICP lives up to the hype in my experience. The pacing is perfect. It will take awhile to work through though. I'd suggest planning to skip some exercises and pick them up on a second read. Don't let yourself get bogged down and lose motivation over one exercise.
Hmm, not sure what exactly happened with [1] (remotely exploitable vulnerable in OpenSSH in 2006). Did the OpenSSH team follow responsible disclosure there?

I am staggered - and I repeat - staggered teens in the US are not doing more on this issue, especially now they have this platform.

If every single 14-17 year old across the entire country banded together they could fix this once and for all by the next election. With social and the internet it's not even hard.

Step 1: All those teens vow to vote the day they turn 18 and forever after - that's tens of millions of votes per election, easily enough to change the outcome.

Step 2: It doesn't matter if the candidate is Republican or Democrat (this issue is more important) - if gun reform is not their number 1 issue they will be voted against.

Step 3: Make a positive change for their country, forever.
I don’t have a particularly strong opinion on guns either way, but this kind of argument never made sense to me. The continual quagmire that is Iraq and Afghanistan for Coalition Forces almost immediately disproves it. The objective isn’t to “win” in a conventional war, it’s to be a perpetual resistance. See Napoleon’s misadventures in Spain (the source of the term ‘guerilla’) for a pre-modern example.
Between reality and maths, the maths are the more fundamental thing that is used to explain reality. What you call reality is just some circumstances that your brain got used to.
Since mid '90s is "rather recent" for me in this domain. I'm talking about the significantly reduced tax burden for the wealthy and corporations due to various tax cuts and abolishments.
I should also add that by asking people to exclude amagoobooksoft you have effectively asked peolle to exclude the buffett companies.

Buffeft and Munger have regretted not investing in google and amazon when valuations were lower.

Other than apple, verisign and verisk are the main tech companies buffett is in.

Or seeing it in practice as capitalist technologists practicing the alternative accumulated enough wealth to buy politicians who passed patent laws allowing FOSS developers/companies to be put out of business, regulators who may penalize new services on Internet, and API rulings in court to reduce interoperability with or escape to FOSS alternatives? I think the default should be commercialized variants of either flexible shared-source or open source whose players pull together in lobbying and media to advance FOSS interests like their opponents do to advance lock-in and anti-competitive practices. Otherwise, the game continues with one side playing aggressively using every strategy available, the other side mostly is on the bench, and probability favors one side dominating in that for a long time.
Shared ownership? Both parties take risks.

I'm hoping they, or someone succeeds, and I think the market will develop.

In addition to carbon emissions reduction, the most immediate benefit is a godly reduction in noise pollution. In SF we have these bastards who love nothing more than to rev up their engines and make noise, on residential streets, at night. I so loathe that aspect of bikers.
It's not about the government, it's about the oligarchs. The US governmemt is a puppet, and the ventriloquist are the oligarchs.

I see what you're saying, but I suspect that the oligarchs that actually run the US do not like an armed populace.
To be more specific, "le" is masculine "the", but can also mean him, "Je le vois" => "I see him".
It absolutely isn't. Wear bright colors instead, it helps a lot more than useless noise.
In order to get a money transmitter license, Amazon must comply with KYC regulations, which are at best minimal protection against fraud. By failing to even meet such a minimum, Amazon may be demonstrating willful negligence.

You could fight a single knucklehead who thinks a badge means he can get away with theft, rape, or murder.
Perhaps his Content-Encoding header was bad?
I interpret that there is an implication in what is described in the article that, when you set the region on your apple device, you get region specific iCloud keys provisioned to it.

If that were the case, there is no reason why you couldn't provision from to an HSM domain that hadn't had its keys shredded.

The implied architecture is there is a secure element on the phone with a unique key provisioned to it during manufacture - likely one that is derived from one of the HSM keys at Apple. However, since Apple cannot produce this individual device key themselves to do 3rd party device decryption, they must generate keys randomly in SE hardware on the device, using the user PIN as a derivation component - and somehow use SE firmware to set a fuse on the number of PIN tries. I don't know specifically how Apple does this, but the list of secure/viable approaches is short. (edit: unnecessary if they shred hsm keys.)

I don't doubt Apple's integrity on this, given the heat they have taken over it in the west. But an "adaptation" of their infrastructure to serve that regional market wouldn't surprise me either.

I'm skeptical of any scheme, and one that isn't presented in BAN logic tends to mean protocol designers have handwaved over where they are hiding things. Good examples of this notation are here. (http://www.lsv.fr/Software/spore/table.html).

If they have weakened the scheme, the technical ways Apple may have conceded to Chinese requirements, are all discoverable.

Breakable? I doubt that's viable given the security difference is an HSM with shredded keys vs. one where the keys still exist somewhere (probably in a duplicate HSM that operates the decryption service for Chinese govt). So still at least as good as any EMV payment system.

We can speculate about how this is implemented but reality is tech companies while ubiquitous, are not sovereign. Yet, anyway.
"Oi que sí" in Spanish is a lot like "oy, yeah" in English. The "oi" is not "this" or "yeah", it's "oy, I already told you".

Now, "oí, que sí" is different: "hear me: yes", but maybe only in Argentina/Uruguay, where imperatives are constructed differently than elsewhere in the Spanish-speaking world. "Oí" deriving from "oid", which is the second person plural imperative in proper Spanish -- just drop the 'd', keep the stress on the 'i', and use it as the second person singular imperative (this is the formula for all second person singular imperatives down there).
You mean places that all prove that weapons mean fuck-all compared to actual deep and lasting social change in fighting corrupt governments and belief systems?

The only way to actually defend yourself against a corrupt government is to change hearts and minds.
These people live inside the United States. This is not some far off land these are people living in our nations capital we are talking about. They simply don't have voting rights due to politics so an area can be part of the United States but not a State.
"The point is not that you can win pitched battles against a professional army with all its ordinance as a ragtag citizens’ militia with small arms. The point is that you can fight. You can bleed them. When they come patrolling through your neighborhood, you may be able to take a couple of the fuckers with you. You might even be able to run away and do it again. Theoretically, you wouldn’t be alone and they couldn’t engage in endless “manhunts” for everyone who resisted them. And they’d never feel safe; there could be a shooter behind any window. Of course, they could call in artillery and air support and level your neighborhood; sure. What would this get them? It would anger a lot of people when innocents died and play right into the hands of the rebels. It would also make a lot of the soldiers in that professional military seriously consider whether they were doing the right thing. Finally, it would simply kill people. No one wants to rule a nation of corpses.

The aim of a tyrant is to control, not to kill. What they want is to be able to have militarized police/gestapo point guns at people and cow them into submission to whatever dictates they might want to impose. If those people are instead waiting behind their doors and ready to shoot first when the jackbooted thugs come around, they’ve already failed. So the point is to fight. If you resist, you’re not being controlled, and you’re also undermining attempts to control others who can’t or won’t fight. You might die, of course. That’s why Patrick Henry said what he famously said, more or less. As long as people can resist, they can be free, and tyrants can never succeed. But when you’re talking about using swords and knives and clubs against modem military weapons, it actually becomes pointless, because you can’t bleed them at all. They’ll just shoot you with beanbags and rubber and water cannons and microwave guns. That’s why having guns is so important."
They also have the highest poverty rate in the US.

> That's true, but PoW currencies have the same opportunity cost -- if you buy Bitcoin you can't invest the same funds else.

That's simply not true. You could potentially loan out your Bitcoin to a company which would play to use that money to create a profitable business. (Of course, it's a bit trickier to do that with Bitcoin due to the deflationary nature, but that's another story.)

When you stake your coins, that's not quite possible.
It sounds like a group responsible specifically for the waterfront agreed to the Google arrangement without really getting approval from the city, and the city kinda went with it for the good press, but now looking into the details is having doubts.
I find the drastic drop in motorcycle sales interesting. I used to ride and really love it (and miss it). But I haven’t owned a bike in 4 years. For me the increase in traffic and more importantly the dramatic increase in distracted drivers due to cell phones makes riding more dangerous than I’m comfortable with. I wonder if others feel the same.

Ok, thought experiment time

What if instead of Senioritis this was a disease (a deadly one) and the action needed was vaccination/washing your hands/"magic incantation" before doing something?

On the other hand, what if this "totalitaran state" is pushing for something "cool and fun", I don't know, using Emacs (example). Because Of Course Emacs is the best editor, etc, etc (and since it's obvious this is not questioned - whoever questions this is shunned/alienated).

While the dangers of totalitarism are known (and see, we even have a name for this concept), the opposite, which might be anarchy(?), while it is individually an advantage collectively can be a disaster

I think people have been burned by one extreme and are maybe not aware of what lies on the other side (me included).
My ~/bin/mitmproxy.sh:

interface=$( ifconfig en0 | grep inet | grep -v inet6 | awk '{ print $2 }' )

Edit: This causes the IP address to show up in the mitmproxy UI. I use mitm for iOS development, and having my IP visible is handy when setting up the phone to use a proxy.
You are making the opposite point of the one you think you are making: Norway has those trillion dollars set aside because they nationalized a lot of oil profit. The US could have done that to, and so could for that matter Venezuela.
Or you could fight for a system that never gives him that badge in the first place.

Guns solve short term problems. They don’t overturn tyranny. Arguments, beliefs, and convictions do that.

I was merely disproving the fact that a motivated population with rifles can't fight and (in the case of Vietnam) defeat the world's largest military. The jury is still out on Iraq/Afghanistan.
If you google for robert tillman san francisco, there are lots of news stories. While the reason article is certainly written with a certain viewpoint in mind the facts appear to be basically correct.
Two options depending on what you’re looking to do:

1. If you just want to personally organize shared folders you receive, you can always put them in folders in your account.

2. If you’re trying to create a nested shared structure, that’s what dropbox biz does. You make your employees team members. The ownership issue becomes less tricky since the biz content is all “owned” by the biz.

As a dropbox alum, I’m not up to speed on all the latest nuances. You should chat with sales to see how it could work for you, or just try a trial.
That's one of the things we were looking for, when I was the tech interviewer for our team (primarily a developer, we weren't huge enough to need a dedicated assessment centre, so there was always someone from the target team at the interview): "yes, we see that you understand this and it is a toy problem, please humour us." 0. You are capable of solving this 1. You can take an educated guess at the complexity 2. You are capable of speaking out if the task seems odd. 3. The topic would naturally gravitate to other, more interesting experiences - e.g. 'yes, this was indeed trivial; tell me about a nontrivial technical issue you encountered and how you solved it'"

Only completely failing #0 (i.e. having no clue at all) would disqualify a candidate, IIRC.
It's technically possible, but requires iptables or equivalents. For now, if you want to proxy the whole machine, Charles is your way to go!
>"I'll just point out that the SVP of engineering, a former Microsoft exec, received $34 million in compensation, since joining less than 6 months ago."

I am curious what contributions can a single executive make to a company that justify $34 million dollars in compensation?

More so what contributions did that individual make in less than 6 months that can justify this obscene level of compensation? Did they create 3x or 5x of this compensation in value?

Remember this the next time a recruiter at some startup tries to tell they offer options in lieu of cash because the company wants you "to have skin in the game."

I'm trying to build a platform for the cannabis industry where brands can create their presence on our product and use us to manage their day to day business; however, I found out stripe/braintree doesn't support this type of business yet because it is still considered federally illegal. Does anyone have any suggestions?
dunno, illiterate poppy farmers in Afghanistan are doing pretty good with old Kalishnakovs
At that point, even the song and dance of 'it helps the little guys protect their ideas from the big corporations' is totally gone. Big corporations can just make it so that small inventors almost never get the capital to develop the invention, so that the corporation can say 'see, he never even attempted to bring the product to market' and develop it on their own with out compensation.

IMO, the whole patent system should just be tore down.
Yes, tablet sales have declined while 2-in-1 sales have risen. That's why I qualified that the success of these devices is probably going to be determined by where the price levels off for them.
> To repeat, what's "ob" have to do with this?

Ob is the prefix that combined with cado to produce occido, which is the origin of occident. The assimilation of the b to the initial consonant of the other verb is something that's been seen in a large number of other cases.

One of Microsoft's big pushes is treating Progressive Web Apps like desktop apps, and listing them in the Store automatically. One of the Microsoft devs showed a screenshot with Google Maps on Twitter.

With Google itself pushing PWAs, Microsoft will finally get Google app support, whether Google likes it or not, and with any luck, this might start to finally erode the app gap that protects the two incumbents.
There are two frames of reference here, and only from the frame of the external observer does what you say hold true. From the point of view of infalling mass, there is no “freeze-frame” and time proceeds normally. The classic example to illustrate this is a black hole with so much mass that you can fall past the event horizon without experiencing significant tidal forces. You could survive the fall, Andy live for hours inside the hole before tidal forces turned you into subatomic sphagetti.
I can speak to Kansas. The land owners appreciate the rents paid, and the counties appreciate the property tax base and jobs that come with the turbines.
> Also, the kind of cultural activities that are subsidized is not the ones that people on welfare attend.

You would be surprised. I have met loads of people who frequent the Nordic arts scene who resorted to welfare after their local industry declined, or who are even the "professionally unemployed". Even welfare recipients can be very intellectual or cultured, and what holds them back from employment is something else. In any event, the library or high cultural spaces are not the sole community centres I refer to; in smaller communities you’ll find things like subsidized dances and hobby groups that will attract even the lowest educated and least ambitious members of a community.

I can also speak from personal experience: in my student days as a foreign student in a Nordic country, I spent a time worse than on the dole: I was outright homeless and virtually penniless for several months. I remember vividly how much that time sucked because it was a constant struggle to find a place to sleep or get a decent meal. And yet the whole time I was attending concerts, I read a huge amount from the excellent public libraries (much better than in my own country), and my command of the local language and much else improved thanks to the opportunity to freely participate in certain community groups dedicated to a common interest. I cannot imagine getting the same opportunities in the USA, as I mentioned.
