> We have no knowledge of what information hasn't been leaked.

Ah yes, the famous Russell's teapot. I am sure it is full of evidence against Trump. But so far it hasn't been found in any other place. And there were enough leaks from all levels to demonstrate the capability and the willingness to leak. So one must ask, why this capability hasn't yet been deployed to reveal any real evidence of collusion? Obviously the theory that nobody is willing to leak stuff about this is false. What other theory is there?

> Strike "found", replace with "made public".

Russell's teapot again. You are of course free to believe in hidden evidence of anything you like. I prefer to believe in open one, and that one does not contain a smidgen of collusion.

> Creating a multi-million dollar operation to generate thousands of propaganda-dispensing social media accounts, posing as everything from BLM activists to the Tennessee Republican Party (really!), buying political ads, and staging political rallies within the US, all with the explicit intent of manipulating the election, however... that's a different story.

No it is not. It's exactly the same story - people saying words on the Internet (or in public on the streets, as it were). If it's a crime for 100 people to do it, then it's a crime for one person to do it. If it's a crime to do it for a million dollars, then it's a crime to do it for 10 cents and a lollipop. If it's a crime for a Russian to buy political ads and stage political actions - then it's a crime for any foreign national to do that. And that's exactly the theory major part of Muller indictment is based off - and that you just agreed you believe in too, in complete disregard for Constitutional freedoms and natural freedoms of every person, such as freedom of speech, association, etc. No amount of putting "the same, but with scary Russians" on it will change the basic premises of it.

No. And I find the suggestion incredibly offensive.

I can't get hired without pretending to be a guy? How does that work when it comes time to pay me? Assuming I can manage to actually get paid while pretending to be male, what happens when someone finally says "Let's do lunch"?

The cure for sexism is not for women to pretend to be men. That fixes nothing.

> The Chinese government is right to require all of it's citizens data to be stored in domestic datacenters.

"The only proper purpose of a government is to protect man’s rights, which means: to protect him from physical violence. A proper government is only a policeman, acting as an agent of man’s self-defense, and, as such, may resort to force only against those who start the use of force. The only proper functions of a government are: the police, to protect you from criminals; the army, to protect you from foreign invaders; and the courts, to protect your property and contracts from breach or fraud by others, to settle disputes by rational rules, according to objective law. But a government that initiates the employment of force against men who had forced no one, the employment of armed compulsion against disarmed victims, is a nightmare infernal machine designed to annihilate morality: such a government reverses its only moral purpose and switches from the role of protector to the role of man’s deadliest enemy, from the role of policeman to the role of a criminal vested with the right to the wielding of violence against victims deprived of the right of self-defense. Such a government substitutes for morality the following rule of social conduct: you may do whatever you please to your neighbor, provided your gang is bigger than his." - from "For the New Intellectual"

It's a terrible idea. Focus on questions which give you meaningful data. For juniors work on ascertaining their motivations and how they think. For seniors dig into their experience and what they're looking for in a role.

Unless solving FizzBuzz on a whiteboard is what your company does on a daily basis it gives you nothing but junk data.

Sometimes people need a moment or two to shift into "coding mode", and others might not be comfortable doing it without a particular editor or reference handy. There's many ways to produce good results, not all of which are whiteboard friendly.

Some people take the position that it's better for the US government to have access to Chinese people's data than for the Chinese government to have access their data because the US government is better (e.g. more due process).
In this case, the shovel seller is believed to use the shovels a bit before selling them. In that way, they extract all the value from the shovels themselves, before a purchaser ever digs.
H1B is mostly about outsourcing jobs from the US to other countries. Certain companies get a bunch of these visas and bring people in, then, once they've learned the job, pull them back, with the work, to their home countries.

Instead of giving visas to companies, enabling those companies to hold the visas over the heads of the workers, we should end this program and just add suitable preferences to the normal immigration process.

There are diminishing returns on exercise. A person doing 3 hours of exercise a week will see more benefit per hour than a person doing 9.

I've gone into 10+ hours/week to try to reach a personal fitness goal before. Reaching the goal was more about satisfying my own ego than living a healthier life or investing my time wisely.
I've struggled with the opportunity cost of exercise, too. What I realised, though, was that I didn't really apply that same criteria to other things in my life. For example, I'd happily browse hacker news without worrying about the opportunity cost of that activity. The issue was that I saw one activity (browsing hacker news) as valuable, and one activity (exercise) as not.

I decided I had to first decide whether exercise was valuable to me. If I came to the conclusion that it wasn't, then I could forget about it completely and never worry about it again. I sense that you're still not completely convinced that exercise isn't a valuable activity, so I'd suggest continuing to apply logic to this problem until you know for certain.

My first step was to list out the pros and cons. Cons, it turned out, were just a few: time, a little bit of money, and temporary discomfort. Pros were significantly more: less pain as I age, more mobility as I age, more strength in case I need to lift things or climb over something one day, increased courage that comes with having a stronger body, increased courage from facing my fear of going to the gym, increased discipline, increased persistence, defeating a part of myself that's eaten away at me for too long, etc.

By doing that, I'd decided for myself that exercise was a valuable thing for me to do. I'd encourage you to do the same thing, and see if you come to the same conclusion. Once you find your own reasons for doing something, doing that thing becomes easier. Lifting weights because of some vague idea that it's good for you is a difficult thing to maintain. Lifting weights because it's a personal exercise in courage and discipline, for example, makes it way more likely to stick.

I'd also like to offer a tip on starting to exercise: start small. All my failed attempts at starting a gym routine in the past happened because I tried to make too big of a change too quickly. Instead of starting a whole new diet and exercise routine, I'd recommend finding ONE exercise that you'd like to get better at, and attempting to increase your numbers in that exercise over time. That's all. For me, it was the pullup. For you, it might be the pushup, or the squat, or the overhead press. It just needs to be something that you can increase over time. I started off being able to do just one pullup, and increased that number significantly over the next couple of months (here's another tip for increasing your reps of an exercise: google 'greasing the groove'). The great part of this approach is that the opportunity cost is extremely small — it takes maybe 10 minutes out of every day. So if you do decide that you want to try exercising again, I'd encourage you to forget complicated routines or schedules for now. Start as small as possible with a single activity, and focus on increasing the number over time.

That's a good point; though I am now wondering if the Equifax breech got noticed before it was owned up to.

Going back to the higher point; I do wonder what the Chinese Govornment's track record on cyber security actually is, compared to what we more usually hear reported.
I'm sorry, when did YouTube become an arm of the government?
Jumping on top comment (which I completely agree with) to ask:

Why wouldn't a K-fold cross validation enable catching this? I'm curious if the attack adds doubt, in that the prediction algorithm is _close_ to truth but gets confused (likelihood of horse slightly less than dog), versus incorrect certitude (the horse is definitely a dog). One could then attach a weighting, perhaps based on max RGB/CYMK vector norm between two pixels across the image, to the folds' difference in top two certitudes.

I don't know, something like that.
If I have a function f(x,y, z) = <some expression> \in R^5 (i.e., f: R^3 => R^5) that is hard to compute, I can train a neural network to approximate it such that there are three input neurons x', y', z', some hidden layers doing the approximation, and 5 output neurons representing the approximation of the input.

By construction, the domain and codomain are not constrained. Both the original and our approximation using NN take any three real values and return any five real values.

Next, consider a sample of points from some function. I can perfectly fit those points using a polynomial of degree equal to the number of points by just setting f(x) = (x-y_1)(x-y_2)... If, however, I approximate the function by removing some degrees from the formula, I remove information (entropy) from the formula. It is no longer a perfect match, but it might be very close. Or, if the underlying distribution is of low dimensionality, it might still be an exact match (i.e., picking any number of points from a straight line doesn't mean you need a high degree polynomial to approximate it!).
This is my biggest concern with the Dropbox platform summed up in the filing:

* Our business could be damaged, and we could be subject to liability if there is any unauthorized access to our data or our users’ content, including through privacy and data security breaches.

They have made progress. They managed to get SoC II compliance for all of their offerings. They now offer HIPAA compliant hosting as well.

Not that long ago though (circa 2013) I remember a series of articles that made it clear that DropBox employees had access to customer data.

That spooked me enough to recommend folks pair it with https://www.sookasa.com/ if they were going to use it.
I agree that would be a good convention to move away from - I don't think it takes a GADT, though; a regular data type should be fine.

For my part I think we should also deprecate the Functor (and dependent) instances for Either and tuple - but I know there are some who strongly disagree and I don't care all that much.
Haven't they advertised visits and tours for members of the foundation? Could have sworn I saw that early on in the project.

I never got the impression it was supposed to be hidden--just physically difficult to reach.

Can't wait for the first ADA lawsuit, though...
> Eventually someone will figure out how to make oodles of RAM sufficient for a many-core custom processor.

It's already been figured out. The issue is that ASIC manufacturers don't see the need to switch from BTC, when they are already making money. Hint, it's the type of ram.
IMO Google made IntelliJ's Android support worse. They added a million items to the menus (like Eclipse), somehow made it slower, replaced IntelliJ's fast and simple project system with Gradle, which is slow and breaks all the time. Bit of a shame really.

Still a million times better than Eclipse though.

They don’t have to fade into obscurity. The point is just to make it painful. People avoid pain.

Implicit in your comment is that these people have a network that will make them whole no matter what.

A) That’s only true for the very top.

B) Even if they are made whole, the more times the network has to “make someone whole” it gets harder to justify the criminality. Over time the network will start leaving people out to dry.

Also, your comment is unnecessarily dismissive. Your position is valid, you can just state it without trying to insult my intelligence and we can carry on a conversation.
Thanks for the recommendation. I've looked at trainers like that and some look solid. I might just have to go for one. It's just hard to gauge quality versus something like a Kickr Snap.
The dependency management story is awful because Go is developed for Google’s purposes, and Google builds from a monorepo.
Hey, _I_ know you on HN. I've upvoted a ton of your comments. We've also commented quite a few times on each other's comments when we disagree with each other. :)

As baseline, I've been commenting on HN for four and half years, 3813 karma as of this writing. In that time, I've been emailed once with a question about a project I've worked on, and once asking me to put some code on GitHub. Zero offers for jobs, or offers for help. And that's totally what I expect.

A lot of your comments here, as are many of mine, are about what it's like to live in America, outside the valley bubble. That's not the kind of things that gets you job offers when compared with "How I used $HOT_TECHNOLOGY to save $HOT_COMPANY 10 million dollars."

Congratulations! You've found a marketing approach that you've proven doesn't work out for you! Now you just have to find something that works.

I've found that what looks from the outside like a secret club is really just that when people work with someone competent for a while, they want to hire them / work with them in the future. Every single one of my new clients in the past fifteen years has showed up because someone worked with me before on a project in the past.

People rarely trust someone just because the've read something they wrote. It really takes working with someone on a project where you are in the trenches together.

You site says you are a copywriter / community manager? Can you do volunteer community management for an organizations some tech organization? Can you somehow finagle some volunteer resume copywriting for Stanford graduates through some organization? You'll never get anything from the graduates you help, but it's the people in whatever non-profit you are working with that will remember your skill and drive. Or anything that gets you working with people who can hire you later. It snowballs from there.

As an aside, your site also looks a bit dated and very unfocused.

Best of luck!

The current standard tops out at a clock of 6.144MHz which is exactly enough to carry 24-bit 48Khz 2-channel uncompressed audio in a 32-bit, differential Manchester encoded frame that includes sync & signalling bits. Running AC3 and DTS over this is a bit of a hack, but it's a standardised hack.

HDMI supersedes S/PDIF so comprehensively that the S/PDIF standard will likely never be substantially revised. There's no compelling reason to invest in the R&D.

> Sure, it would be nice to have a competitive environment with different providers you can switch between. But that is secondary to usefulness and functionality, because companies are in competition with each other anyway. And the chance of getting the actual providers to agree is pretty close to zero. Everybody goes: “Well, we’re going to differentiate on this or that.”

That is exactly the situation with kubernetes and containers, and it is nice indeed, as I can easily switch between providers. In fact, my company got free digital ocean credits and was able to seamlessly host a cluster on DO for free to enhance testing. This is the ultimate.

What scares me about serverless is the complete lock-in with the vendor. It’s the same reason google app engine just couldn’t be a game changer. You need that balance between customization and commoditization that serverless I think fails on, unless some protocol like docker comes in to save it.

Considering China back slided in the past decade (opening up before 2008 then hitting reverse afterwards), we will have to wait and see. The current leadership came of age during the cultural revolution, which probably has a lot to do with the current trend to authoritarianism, many them only got honorary degrees when the schools reopened in the late 70s. The next generation of leadership should be much much different.

It varies from state to state. Some states prohibit passing on the right. Some don't. In Ohio in the late 90's, the law was that anything which you could drive on was a lane. I was slowing down in the right lane and signalling a right turn into a parking lot, right when the young lady behind me decided to drive over the empty parking spaces on the right-hand side and pass me. There was a fender-bender. The policeman summarily ruled it was my fault, because according to the law in Ohio, I was responsible for looking out for someone passing me in the "lane" comprised of the empty parking spaces. I think California Law is different, so people can have bike lanes.

With a system based on plugins and components like Serverboards[1] its quite easy to create new functional areas (screens[2] in Serverboards parlance) as the ones you describe. Some times its more difficult to really round up the ideas to make something useful, than implementing it [2].

I am afraid I don't exactly agree. If you are publishing a library, for one, it's best not to include any vendored dependencies to begin with. But, ideally, no one should include vendored dependencies, whether a library or executable; those are things that can be fetched at build time. ("But, what if the dependencies disappear?" you may ask—this would be handled through the caching proxy in Russ' proposal.)

The additional tool you would need to build your software would be vgo.
