I’m baffled as to why nihilism is equated with hopelessness or “asshole-ism” when I speak to others about it. I (almost jokingly) call myself a nihilist because I truly believe my life has no meaning. I am but one organism in a giant soup of beautiful organisms. If I have “meaning” - in my humble opinion - it means the maggots in my compost bin have equal meaning. I consider us, them, whatever...all a curious, albeit awesome, accident of nature.

While I think my life has no point (in the “being an accident” sense) I am exhilarated to be alive. How cool it is to experience wind, sun, procreation, driving, art, love, and on and on!

I truly believe nihilism and “hope” are not mutually exclusive. I still get up every day and do cool shit cause it’s fascinating to be alive. I can affect things, make things, and help other “accidents” with their problems.

Nihilism to me is humility. It’s a big universe and we mean f-all in the grand scheme. Enjoy the ride and make of it what you will.
She's the de facto CEO. She's placed there by investors to manage Zuck and stop him doing anything that might jeopardise all that IPO capital - and after her time at Google, she proved she knew how to manage ASD idealists. I'm rather glad this has happened, someone who built the two biggest douchebag business models the world has ever seen is not fit for public office.
That might help hide from a prying spouse, but I assume the data brokers know what "ARB, Inc." means...

It's 4% of worldwide revenue.
The latter being more charitable because it also answers the first question and can assume the asker at least has a semblance of why it might be possible.
I regret the error (but not the recommendation; don't make your own custom RSA-based transport protocol).

I think this is our largest point of divergence. If the world had sane TLS libraries, I would absolutely say "run TLS with all the backwards compatibility crap turned off" -- but we don't have sane TLS libraries. I am not confident in my ability to turn off all the unwanted "features" of SSL/TLS stacks, and I'm not confident that anyone can write code which will turn off all the unwanted features and keep them turned off in future library versions. It's not much of an exaggeration to say that I consider the OpenSSL maintainers to be actively hostile; if I have to run their code at all I really want it to be inside a sandbox.

Yes, writing your own transport protocol is nontrivial. But if you write your own transport protocol, you don't need to worry about "the user upgraded to a new version of OpenSSL and now your connections are all HeartBleeding". A sane library would have had this feature turned off by default; OpenSSL is not a sane library.
Is your background in AI/machine learning? Because it is a very common trope that is rolled out and I strongly disagree with it. There isn’t such a thing as an insurmountable lead.

This is a very interesting mashup of different techniques - I was surprised to see a neural network controlling growth but it produces some very convincing results!

Given the way they're generated, is it possible to take several specimens and 'grow them together' so that they're shaped by mutual interactions? The way you've modeled it makes it look like this might be an option.

Could you explain that?
Apparently the Enhanced Tactical Flow Management System (ETFMS) packed up.

>“ETFMS facilitates improvements in flight management from the pre-planning stage to the arrival of the flight. It maximises the updating of flight-related data and thus improves the real picture of a given flight, thereby contributing to the Gate-to-Gate Concept,” Eurocontrol explains on its website.

>The agency initially reported that contingency procedures were immediately put in place which reduced the capacity of the European network by around 10 per cent. http://www.airtrafficmanagement.net/2018/04/eurocontrol-give...

They don't seem to say what went wrong but do say

>In over 20 years of operation, the ETFMS has only had one other outage which occurred in 2001. The system currently
manages up to 36,000 flights a day.

Tech details from wikipedia fr:

Written in ADA , and running on HP-UX , the system is based on an exchange of messages between the airlines (who will file / change / update flight plans), the air traffic control bodies and the CFMU , the messages are written in ADEXP format.

ETFMS uses at least 5 fundamental notions:

flight plan : describes the 4D trajectory of an airplane.
regulation: aircraft rate applied to a "volume traffic". Example: 50 aircraft / hour
"Traffic volume": association of a geographical reference (air sector, waypoint, airport, etc.) and a set of aircraft flows.
list of takeoff slots or called slot . Example: if the rate of regulation is 30 planes / h, there will be a slot every 2 minutes: 10 hours, 10 h 2, etc.
the delay: difference in time between the take-off time desired by the company and the schedule calculated by ETFMS.
I do all of my “office suite” work on the iPad, mainly emails and spreadsheets, but also writing specifications, reviewing issues and PRs in GitHub, etc. No problem with that, the iPad goes beyond mere media consumption.

I think I described that I work on remote servers belonging to my customers, so mainly I use a terminal and a web browser for that. I don’t do native development (anymore), I don’t do embedded programming. I do sometimes do front-end work and I have a Chromebook (and tools like Browserstack) for that.

I don’t try to do everything myself, or have computers that can do everything. I hire a lot of work out.

Not mutually exclusive.
The guns are for the possibility of civil war/social upheaval/violent revolt. At the end of the day, the rule of law is a thin veneer over the force of people with guns. (It is, to a first approximation, just a way of deciding who tells the people with guns what to do.)

To head off the inevitable "but a bunch of rednecks with guns would never be able to stand up to the military!" That's first-world myopia. Look at what happened when, e.g., Bangladesh became independent from Pakistan. A bunch of farmers did not take on the undivided Pakistani army. Instead, after initial skirmishes, part of the Pakistani army broke off and fought for independence alongside the revolutionaries.

Most likely he doesn't say this because he doesn't believe this. The obvious interpretation is that he believes that some US cities have a serious problem with violent gangs. Why would you want to assume that "inner city gang violence" is code for "black people"?
I can confirm this. It's usually the Java/Tomcat boxes that front the TPF box that cause this type of huge meltdown. It's almost never the TPF core. It happens, of course, but they've offloaded most of the functionality to more modern technology. So there isn't much code change in the TPF core. And code change is usually what drives outages.

Update: Seems this incident wasn't the reservation system at all. It was ETFMS. Government run system.

No downvote from me; I agree with what you said and I appreciate your having the courage to say it. The writer of this article has dumped one form of religion and replaced it with another, right down to the wishful thinking about a "super empathetic" supreme intelligence, and hope for immortality.
I think the main use case is to support c++ codebases compiled with emscripten without having to rewrite the whole codebase to not assume shared mutable state.
This is actually a legitimate business decision, as there is a linear cost to servicing each request - letters need to be read manually, likely escalated to counsel in all but "boilerplate" cases, and executed by vetted (and expensive) individuals with strict security training.

Now, could Zuck have said something more articulate than “We’re still nailing down details on this, but it should directionally be, in spirit, the whole thing?” Absolutely. He could have said "we'll be working to create a streamlined interface for people to achieve many of the most important benefits enjoyed by EU residents under the GDPR, without requiring them to jump through legal hoops and read a 90-page law to format a request correctly. This is all in progress, but we're committed to making radical transparency accessible to our users." Then there could have been positive spin. But instead the "less is more" approach leads to articles that assume the company to be operating in bad faith.
It's unfashionable to say this, but I get a lot out of using Facebook. But I'm now thinking hard about getting by without it.
I've done a few from coursera and the best MOOC's I have taken are:

Human-Computer Interaction - worth doing if you are building websites / apps
On the topic of cloud strategies and infrastructure, what are your thoughts on the Mulesoft acquisition? Does this foray into infrastructure software really make it that much easier for CRM to sell the rest of their SaaS stuff? Obviously a lot of CRM and potential CRM customers have hybrid models today, does this really help them dive two feet in with Salesforce for their pending 'digital transformation'?

Also, I don't want to get off topic but how does SIEM space fit into the infrastructure stack you see in the future? In security, what about the firewall vendors trying to become the central hub for managing the new security needs brought about by the cloud (CASB, endpoint, virtual firewalls, etc?). What about SaaS only Iidentity & access management solutions like OKta?--I hear they are a game changer, but is a cloud-only solution really the best positioned seller for something like this, especially considering the hybrid structure of most large orgs today (on-prem & off-prem/public cloud)?
Is there a sizable precedent for companies hitting $20 billion in sales and continuing to routinely generate 15-20% growth?

I see bikes without saddles (stolen?), with destroyed/sliced saddles (vandalism) and in otherwise okay shape lying .. everywhere in Singapore. Sometimes in the middle of the road (the divider, not the actual road). In random bushes.

Yes, the _majority_ probably is parked properly. But there are so many cases of "bike abuse" around that I see on a daily basis that I'm constantly shaking my head about this lack of respect and care. Is DC that much worse? I wouldn't know.

The specifics is an implementation detail, but as an european citizen (residing anywhere) you have rights under the GDPR and should assert those rights.
Interesting i think these are the rules:
8K INTRO
Maximum file size is 8192 bytes for the executable. All other files in the archive will be deleted before showing the entry in the competition
Maximum running time: 8 minutes (including loading/precalc).
Import by ordinal for DLLs with non-fixed ordinals is forbidden (don't even think about directly jumping into DLLs with hardcoded offsets!). Please use alternative, more compatible techniques like muhmacs import by hash to save on executable size or just use a packer like Crinkler, which does this automatically.
It is okay to deliver bigger versions of the 8k along with the compo version (which must be <=8192bytes) in the same archive. We will not show the bigger version in the compo. If your packer doesn't work on the compo machine, it's your problem. We will be able to provide you with details about the compo machine, though.
We will not install any additional Runtimes, SDKs, Codecs, Drivers etc on the compo machine. This means that, among others, msvcr70.dll, msvcr71.dll and msvcr80.dll will not be available.
You may not use the contents of the Windows "Media" or "Music Samples" directories. These directories will be deleted on the compo machine.
Java entries are not allowed.
DotNet entries are allowed when they follow the rules listed above.
Browser entries are allowed when they follow the rules listed above. For extra kudos, pack your intro as a single png-with-embedded-html file: see JsExe or pnginator for how to do this.)

This is funny in a way, but I think it's also very shocking that the FB spokesman felt sufficiently mandated to talk to a democratic representative in that way. I guess the spokesman might have jut been having a bad day, but I did wonder whether the rudeness was the function of a really toxic - I would even say colonialist - culture at FB.
Great work ! How you curate these data? Crawling?
Same here: I'd already made the decision that I want to move to an EU country, GDPR just makes me want to accelerate that so I can get in on the action sooner. It's not the only, or the biggest reason of course, but it's a nice benefit.
It's not clear to me who the target audience is for this book. As someone with a graduate degree but not a mathematical background, I'm comfortable reading academic papers, but a lot of this feels over my head. So it reads to me like it's a quick refresher or reference for people who already learned this stuff at some point, rather than an introduction. But the preface says this is to be "a book on Mathematics for Machine Learning that motivates people to learn mathematical concepts."

As a sidebar, it has always seemed to me that there is a giant gulf between truly beginner-friendly math books, which are aimed at children, and introductory math books aimed at adults. The latter almost always read like foreign language textbooks where you must first know the language before you can start, while the former are too elementary. I'd love to find "College level Math for English Majors" or something of the like, if anyone knows of such a book :)
Why is the white race so adamantly pro destroying itself?
At the behest of immigrants and other cultures, while simultaneously these immigrants want more and more and call us worse and worse.

There's really no winning. And I'm curious why there is such a disproportionate ammount of white people who enjoy signalling how much they love people that aren't white.

I’ll second Ethical Hacking. His pen testing material is a benefit to any web developer serious about building secure applications. In addition Zaib does a great job of regularly updating the materials and is very responsive to students questions.

This is the only MOOC that I have gone through multiple times.
I suppose that’s is one way to look at it.

Guidance from experts from a use case perspective is difficult to find, as documentation is always product centric.

Additionally, many members of the HN community have exposure they aren’t aware of. If you represent that you “encrypt” data, many organizations consider data that isn’t FIPS unencrypted. A password database compromise of your scrypt protected passwords may be a problem if you just accept boilerplate terms when selling a few licenses to state, local or federal customers.
| "we should maximize human happiness"

I can't address everything, but the one reason to do that, at least for yourself, is because it's simply more fun to be happy than sad. Just because _X_ doesn't matter, doesn't change that _X_ might make you feel a certain way.
There is currently a restriction for selling handguns to people under 21.

>German statistics say otherwise.

I completely believe that the totality of German gun laws help reduce gun deaths. What I am specifically unsure of is how police checks of storage influence gun deaths. My initial assumption is that they would cause a <1% reduction in gun deaths but I don't have any data backing up that assumption so I could be persuaded that it would have a larger effect.
Data doesn’t have rights; you as a human (citizen or resident of EU) have rights on your data.

So it’s retroactive.

I want to be clear: LVH is a trained cryptographic engineer, but I'm a software security tester that just happens to have a sort of practice focus on crypto bugs. I try to be open with people that I am not qualified to design nontrivial cryptosystems; what I can do is spot problem areas in existing systems, and make predictions about what design choices are likely to lead to those kinds of problems.

> This is the reasons it's at the core of SCP03, the smartcard world is very sensitive to transistor count...

The reason it's at the core of SCP03 is because SCP03 is ancient (2006?) and once things get affixed intro a "standard" things now move at a glacial pace.

And, nowadays, fixed logic transistor count is almost irrelevant.

RAM transistor count, however, is expensive and getting moreso.
> So will users have to set a new site-wide "citizenship" setting on their profile?

What about users who have two or more citizenships? What about users who have none? What about users who have citizenship only in countries the site doesn't recognize?

Given that this is about the GDPR, wouldn't that only make things worse for the site? Edit: also, what about people who have neither a passport nor an identity card?

I've been using Sails since version 0.10 (about 4 years from now). At the time, it was the best framework you could find in Node with an MVC pattern. We are still using it, and it works perfectly fine for us. Even Waterline, its ORM has been great (we use MongoDB), and for doing some optimization/shortcomings, it has a .native method that allows you to implement whatever you need.
I know that a lot of work have been put into this new version, including a totally new refactored Waterline, great improvements in speed and async/await support, much better code organization/style, etc. About the "lack of support", well, I know it's been slow sometimes, but, hey, it's open source, and all the work comes out the maintainers pocket (it's not backed regularly by any company).
I really want to congratulate the team for reaching 1.0. I know all the effort you put into it, and always looking after the users, trying to make it better.

OTOH, in my early 20s I had drank the kool-aid of reading is the best thing you can possibly do. I started reading more and more. Once I got up to around 75 books a year, I realized I had passed diminishing returns, and my life was not well-balanced.

I'm now down to ~25 books a year and feel like it fits me well.
Take a look at pi-hole with a VPN for remote use. It works great.
I think this is our largest point of divergence.

While I'm on the topic:

Password handling: I skip bcrypt because the only reason to not use scrypt is if you need a US Government endorsed scheme. But yeah, it's (slightly) better than PBKDF2.

Cryptographic primitives: I think "use NaCl" is cheating a bit as far as answers go; that may be reasonable advice to implementors but it's not a protocol specification. So I'm reading those as "use foo, via the NaCl library".

As for what the foo in question should be: I'm gradually becoming more comfortable with curves, and 25519 in particular; similarly with sbox-free symmetric crypto (e.g., djb's dances and Keccak). At this point I'd say it comes down to how conservative you are; I wouldn't say that someone using XSalsa20+Poly1305 is wrong to do so.
It's not sarcastic. It's not contrasting the two, but pointing out a general shift towards NPU/TPU (as the comment states). Of course a mobile device isn't going to have the same power ratio as a Titan V (It's amazing that the iphone X has 500GF, in addition to its GPU and CPU. I expect it will go much higher; this is just an initial foray).

I don't understand the objection to describing the tensor cores of the Titan V as a TPU. As a GPU, it has only around 10TF. How would you describe the tensor cores?
Common among a particular age group or demographic doesn't necessarily mean it's a universal behavior.
