I don't think it's necessarily that everyone in the whole psychology profession has worse than highschool level math skills. I think it's more just that, at some level, you have to trust that your colleagues have done their work correctly. You focus on the important parts of the paper (ie. the hypothesis, the method, and the results) because there's not enough time in your life to give full scrutiny to every detail of every paper you read. So sometimes, something slips through the cracks, until it's caught.
You can't answer this without specifying which technologist at Goldman Sachs or Google. What's their skillset? How specialized are they? Who do they know within the company? Which projects have they worked on? How much value did they deliver to the company?

Gut feel (as an ex-Googler with a number of friends on Wall Street) is probably that on average a decent technologist at Goldman Sachs will make more than their equivalent at Google, but the top end of Google's range is significantly higher than the top end for technologists at Goldman (though less than the top traders or portfolio managers). One thing most middle-class people underestimate is just how skewed the income distribution is; someone who can demonstrably make it rain for a big company typically gets paid well into the millions per year.
They had RailsConf in Vegas in 2008. I spent half of my time in the poker room, breaking even, but made a key networking connection in a limo that jumpstarted my startup's success.
Personally, I find the idea that "humans could be bargained into a poor position" to be fairly weak.

It's certainly possible, but negotiations with hidden agendas have been part and parcel of humanity for all time, and are a major basis for all foreign (and most internal) affairs.

The paper presents no predicament that China couldn't put the US in tomorrow with a suitably (apparently) one-sided deal, and yet countries don't as a rule isolate themselves to avoid hearing potentially deadly trade offers.
This is harsh, but true.
You swipe down from the right of the notch at the top to get control center.

Swiping down from the left of the notch at the top (or from the notch itself directly - yes it recognizes touch) you get your notifications/lock screen.
Hmm, no mention of luggage tags or boarding passes? Your luggage tag usually has your last name and your booking code. Those 2 bits of information are enough to login to your flight details, including your passport information. They are also on your boarding pass, also coded on the barcode, which people sometimes post online, it can also be photographed from a distance with a good enough camera.
I don't know how you've come to these conclusions. A huge segment of the working class is right-wing and always has been. Being far-right is a rebellion for the poor just as much as it is for the rich.
Maybe rampant racism, xenophobia, erratic and incompetent foreign policy, and nepotism and crony corruption not seen before in living memory? Or maybe the likelihood of a new futile war somewhere?
A friend of mine moved from an apartment with parking to one without. He didn't need his car and planned on selling it as soon as possible. So he worked it out with his old landlord that he would keep paying for parking so he could store his car until he sold it.

Then he kinda just ignored the whole situation. He never paid for the parking. He never went and checked on the car. After a few months of this, he finally got around to trying to sell it and luckily the car was still there.
Be Marcus Aurelius.
Become a stoic.

Think more of virtue than of success. Success is a hollow word, like in nutrition “it’s an empty calorie”. Rather focus on the virtues of your life. Those are life-giving, filled with “soul nutrients”.

So ... dammit man:

Feed the cat.
Take the dog for a walk.
If that’s all you do today, you made it.

Help a struggling neighbour make that rent payment just this month - do it anonymously. No one needs to know. Certainly not him!

Call your mom.
Tell your Dad you understand.
Call your sister/brother - ask if you can help in any way you can - then help.

Try to read Robert Sapolsky - he says you really don’t have free will - crazy man - it’s rather comforting to forgive yourself thoughtfully. He is a great man actually.

Forgive. Force a smile when thoughts of failure intrude. “Eyebrow” as you pass someone today with a friendly but subtle smile. (You don’t want to be creepy)

Listen to Carl Sagan’s “Pale blue dot” speech. Then watch the Cosmos series - both the new and old ones. See if that makes you feel you’re worrying about the right stuff.

Finally, be like Francisco Goya and “paint” (write software, build a house, make music, write a poem) ONLY for yourself. Begin with the intention that your work will never be allowed to be judged by another. Keep it hidden. Chip at it everyday.

Hit the cool pillow every evening imagining that just ONE more day is good enough for you to fill it up with things like the above. Perhaps even better ones.
I agree that some things in academia are overly fenced off from the influence of an educated everyman but I don't think that applies in this scenario. The article is specifically about how the student recognized a problem but also recognized that they had particular shortcomings that made tackling the problem adequately on their own impossible.
Unlikely to be extradited for an extra-territorial claim. But the members of the executive and the board might not want to strike Germany from their list of travel destinations forever.
If you consider indiegogo 24/7 online, accessible through a browser, you can purchase the GPD2 anywhere, anytime. Delivery is a bit delayed while they still build them though.
My opinion is it you have the time to declare a variable, then you have the time to hit control-space to put the type. Not putting the type communicates less information to the next guy. If you "don't care" about the type, then why are you declaring a variable in the first place? Just chain the call.
> No, it's been shifting more _liberal_, which is different. The effects of British and American McCarthyism still put Marxist (and also any associated leftist) thought very much out of the mainstream.

But Marxism is a much more socially acceptable than say, fascism. I've seen a lot of communist themed parties where people hang up hammer and sickle flags, but rarely any parties where people hang up swastikas (or at least, they don't post them on social media !)

> Political Compass isn't an impartial or scientific measure. It's center is not guaranteed to correspond the political center of the globe.
Read Sports Gene by David Epstein. He discusses a lot of the genetics vs. developing one's body specifically for a sport, with a large focus on distance running.
Unless you're aiming for that top 3% spot as an entertainer, you're meant to treat YouTube as a funnel. It's a market place for you to place some free content that you use to (help) build your brand, offer value back to the community for free, all the while building commercially viable options behind the scenes which you funnel those viewers into.

People who rely purely on YouTube's AdSense for income are the Internet's buskers and YouTube is their tip jar.
Maybe, but the content isn’t really in danger, it presumably can be backed up, and presumably already has.

What’s in danger is the work required to coordinate such efforts in the future, and rubbing blockchain on it doesn’t help.

(I know you weren’t advocating it, I just get tired of people who don’t understand the amount of effort that goes into “free” content.)
CERT is by far the largest 'department' in the SEI. I'm not sure exactly by what margin, but they probably account for over 50% of the SEI.

Also the funding model isn't quite that straightforward. As an FFRDC they receive a certain static amount every year (in the low millions) as some kind of federal grant. Everything else is income from customer work like you'd find at any other contractor. In terms of revenue, most of the big bucks probably come from DoD and not DHS.
I'd be happy to have a retractable USB HMD monocle for any computer, be it Linux or otherwise.
FTA: Every single passenger's info is readable by a list of 20+ domains that are not Emirates.

That's quite different from having to put physical eyeballs on a luggage tag.
Just to be clear, JWTs may be encrypted (JWE), but are almost always just signed (JWS). Don't store data you don't mind exposing in a signed JWT.
The way I read the title was: \forall messages M s.t. \forall decontaminating functions F, F does not decontaminate M.

I think what the paper actually shows is \exists message M, s.t. \forall decontaminating functions F, F does not decontaminate M.

In fact, we know the title (as I interpreted it) is false - the paper gives an example of a message that can be read as plain text which can be truly decontaminated.

Basically, when we get a message, we'll be able to immediately tell whether we can decontaminate it or not. If not, the paper argues we're doomed because eventually it'll leak. I just don't find that to be very interesting, and definitely not as strong a claim as the title (as I interpreted it).
A lot of us would love to work in the U.S - but just not until the current political climate changes. There is no doubt that U.S workers are paid much more than those in London or other European cities.

To answer the question, see cageface’s comment.
Wait why?

They added that more truthful explanation a few hours later, due to the barrage of hate and confusion their original tweet was getting.
Educated in Engineering and CS at Cambridge, courses which employ far less intimidating mathematics than the Maths Tripos for which Cambridge is renowned. I think Brown could reasonably claim to be an ameteur Mathematician - and certainly an ameteur Psychologist.
"He also claims he takes the fastest runtime of the queries over several runs, which is not how real tests are performed."

It isn't, but it should be. For any non-randomized run of the exact same work [1], by definition of non-randomized, any noise that appears in the results of multiple test runs can only be due to factors unrelated to the test being run, such as the OS decisions and such. Taking the minimum is the most honest way to factor those out. A possible exception for the first run, before CPU caches are warmed up.

[1]: Ponder that closely; a lot of the knee-jerk reactions to what I just said is handled by that; e.g., if the second time something is cached by the algorithm itself that was not cached the first time around, that's not the same work. Conceptually you can imagine that I'm shooting for the exact same sequence of CPU instructions being run on the exact same data values, though in practice that can be a tall bar to leap even before considering concurrency; as with almost everything in life if you look closely enough the boundaries get fuzzy.
Why does this extension need permission to "read and change all your data on websites you visit"?
The picture I found most interesting was that of the soldiers sitting in landing craft. I had always thought that landing craft were loaded just before the landing where soldiers would disembark from some larger ship. The photo implies that they drove or were towed across the channel in those craft. That any man was not sick from that voyage would seem miraculous.
Well. That's true too. I got my first side project in 1994 because a college saw a HyperCard stack I posted on AOL.

I used that experience to get an internship in '95 and that led to a job with the same company after I graduated the next year.

But after trying to catch up because my "9 years of experience at one company" was really 3 years of experience and the other 6 years was just stuck doing the same thing I did the first 3 years, I vowed never to put myself in that situation again. If I see myself not keeping up technically at a company, it's time to either leave or study and do a side project.

I may never publish the side project and it may just end up being a proof of concept.
It does remove the fixed positioning.

By the way, it turns out people have been fucking all along and that there actually aren't any black or white people. Never were. Someone made the whole thing up and it got a wee bit out of hand. Thought you might like to know, as it might save you an awful lot of time and worry.
That code is much more scannable. The ability to scan code, to quickly glance at a method or a class and grok it in under 30 seconds is paramount. In large projects I've worked on any code that fails the 30-second test is immediately rejected at code review. Having to hover over every variable to see the types will make scanning such code in an ide a very tedious process. It will make most code review tools (that don't support such functionality) much, much less useful. I fear for the 30-second test and scanning code.
>Couldn't we simply agree not to execute un-audited code from unknown third parties?

How exactly would we achieve that? How can we prevent every single human being on the planet from executing some malicious code coming from open space?

Soft not as in "easy to learn", but as in "not very solid".
Walmart is an example of successful entrepreneurship starting with a mom and pop shop. Sam Walton made money because he had the freedom to hire other people and scale the business beyond his waking hours. An Uber driver can't.

Don't get me wrong, every mom and pop shop isn't run by successful entrepreneurs. But when the local team is doing well, they have the freedom to dedicate shelf space to big foam fingers in the appropriate color and up the price to whatever the traffic will bear. An Uber driver can't set prices when the Super Bowl comes to town.
Realize that worrying has no value, it will stand in your way. It wastes your time and energy, making you less likely to succeed.

Face the fact that a lot of things in your life are out of your control, and the best thing you can do is steer all of your focus and mental energy away from pointless anxiety and into taking the actionable steps towards your goals.

Practice meditation to develop the skillset and mental discipline that will allow you to focus on taking actionable steps instead of dwelling on stuff you can't do anything about.

Always do your best relative to the state that you're in. Optimize your knowledge (by learning and reading a lot), and behavior (by taking the right action according to your best judgement). Beyond that - let go and let the chips fall where they may.

I’m assuming success includes personal as well as professional life. My measure: how well I sleep over the weekend

During the work day, or hanging out friends and family, it’s easy to delude myself that all is well. Its hard to lie to yourself at 3:00 AM Sunday morning. Every time i sleep badly, i know it’s time to stop and take a deep look at what’s going on.

That metric has served me well so far.
The moment I saw an iPhone X in a commercial for something else, the notch really clicked for me. The notch does so much more than just extend the screen a little bit more. It makes the phone instantly identifiable, which is a marketing technique that Apple has always been fantastic at. I was watching an ad for some unrelated thing/service and my mind went "Oh look. An iPhone X." It's interesting seeing that they may have started yet another design trend.
I have a pressure cooker, but I only ever use it in the crock pot/slow cooker mode. I guess the two are quite similar, except for the lid.
The IDE is Java's biggest strength, and it matters.

I've worked with plenty of engineers who are absolute masters of vim and emacs; their fingers fly on the keyboard. It looks impressive but even the best of these people look like rank amateurs compared to the people who have spent equivalent time mastering IDEA or Eclipse. With a good IDE the code practically writes itself. This is a real productivity gain, and needs to be considered as part of the value proposition of the language/environment.
> We were immediately curious if the CERT Vulnerability Notes Database would continue to operate, which Dormann confirmed that it would be. He went on to say that the site was apparently “deemed to be unnecessary” and expressed that he suspects the next phases would include that the “World forgets that CERT is a thing” and then “profit”.

It's unclear if the vulnerability database will continue to function in the long term but so far it survives, it's just the website that's redirecting.

Thank you for making this, in particular thank you for the "disable lazy loading" option, which I have always found annoying when I'm on a slow connection (which is very often since I'm in Australia).
Before going all the way on cookies, make sure to consider whether you're creating a mobile app, as mobile apps usually don't handle cookies for you automatically. In my experience, OAuth is a bit easier in mobile. If you support cookies for browsers and OAuth for mobile, your API will have to support both authentication methods.
> Also, if you want to be a PM then you'd better enjoy meetings, slides, people, and communicating & convincing all day long, day-in day-out.

For me that's a huge nope, also it's why I love working with a good PM when you're a developer, they're like your partner in crime so to speak!
It is always humbling to learn the limits of one's own knowledge. You've been very kind about it.

Best.
I don’t know anyone who supports hatred. I support free speech. The two are not identical, to suggest so is just propaganda aimed at limiting free speech.
Laws like this reminds me how little many people understand technology. There is no realistic way to my knowledge to implement this on all devices when torrents and open source operating systems exist. The article even agrees with me at some levels "The technical requirements for this kind of aggressive platform censorship at scale are simply unworkable."
Most of our websites violate Chinese law. Do you think we'll ever be held liable? No, of course not.

All websites are, by the nature of the internet, international. But it is not really feasible for them to be held to any legal standard but those where they have servers, are incorporated, or do business.
I started with sort of an assistant product role at 32. The most important part is knowing how a product works inside out. It's easier to get into with full stack experience, and some marketing experience.

Also agreed that you really have to enjoy meetings. It's no longer a development role. It's a role where you become the communication line between the dev team and the client/users/QA/other depts.

You have to really understand what people are saying even when they're not saying. You also have to be really good at reading body language - people slouching when they're stuck or on something, or their eyes lighting up when you tell them something they want to hear. You have to be good at giving the right questions to unlock these answers.

It's incredibly difficult to go from being developer to product because product does everything developers shouldn't be doing.

I'd say the fastest route is to be a startup founder. A slightly slower route is to take on the product role at your company, but this usually means a performance hit because you can't develop well when 2-4 days of your week are dedicated to meetings.

You can also directly ask your boss if you can transition into the role. People who want to take product roles are very rare and expensive, and developers are much more valuable for the role vs people who took some certification.
Is that even a contract at this point? I thought to legally be a contract, both sides had to gain something?

The IDE autocompletes everything, extract-to-variable does most of the heavy lifting.
I remember reading that the Secret Service was investigating an Austin game company because they were one of the first companies to buy CD duplicating equipment so were suspected of piracy by the Secret Service. For some reason I remember that as being Origin Systems but it may have actually been Steve Jackson Games.
Purely speculation, but could this be a way for Carnegie Mellon University to grab back the prestige that CERT gets even though it's CMU that operates CERT? I've been aware of CERT for 20 years but never realized that it was a CMU project. On the other hand, Stanford University gets prestige from lots of things that use their name, even things like the Stanford Research Institute that are no longer part of it. So maybe CMU will continue doing everything that CERT did but with CMU's name at the helm.
Memcached, now with extortion
ClojureCL is driver-agnostic. As long as the OpenCL platform implementation (POCL) is OpenCL-compliant, ClojureCL should work (but I have not tried).

Regarding profiling/benchmarking, you can measure wall-clock time very precisely with Criterium, and you can also use kernel profiling built into OpenCL, as explained in OpenCL in Action and demonstrated here: https://github.com/uncomplicate/clojurecl/blob/master/test/c...
> Enforcing that Project Gutenberg actually respects german copyright law when offering service to german users is abusing the justice system? That's a surprising interpretation of these events, in my opinion.

Being a US entity acting 100% legally under US law with no physical presence in Germany but somehow being required to comply with German laws seems a bit abusive to me, in my opinion.

Next time I go trolling because I have karma to burn I suppose I'll have to answer to German hate-speech laws?
Well there are dual cookers that can do both.

But anyway, in the article a crock-pot is used, while bluedino mentions a pressure cooker, so I was just clarifying that a crock-pot is not a pressure cooker. But maybe I only added confusion. :-(
Paper is just a wrapper for the AI box problem, nothing new. It doesn't even provide a very strong argument for the impossibility of decontamination, just a "proof" by example (not really a proof).
Modern IDEs automatically prepend shaded type annotations for types with var. I don't believe that's an issue.
