Crypto maximalists don't like additive security mechanisms that reduce the risk and potential scope of attacks, but may not address every possible attack vector. Often the effect of crypto maximalism is reduced security. In the real world it takes multiple mitigating technologies to address a problem, and perfection is not always achievable. See RFC7435.
It's amazing to see deep learning blast through all the benchmarks, for example in computer vision, over the last couple of years. At the same time something starts to feel off about having all these single-use asymmetric feedforward networks solving their own little task. Being trained in one direction, then used in the other, then thrown away. Maybe being chained together for a more complex task, but that seems to be about it for the average (real-world application) use case of deep learning nets.

I'm sure there's plenty of interesting work being done in ML to improve on this situation and come up with new architectures. Yet I was moderately surprised when I rediscovered Boltzmann machines recently, and found not much work seemed to be going on there at all (very little at NIPS 2017 for example?).

This BEAM seems intriguing, here's hoping it opens the door to a better understanding and modeling of our world.

Yes but from "times" you can see that this is a test of VERY basic English. I agree with you that Bread is both correct and fits the context better, and I would still choose "eggs" (a worse answer, from the choices given) because I would analyze what the (really stupid) question-writer wanted.

You are right that window exists in that sense but in this case it's clear that the question writers didn't think about it.

For "window" in particular, we rarely say it the way you imply, the whole Internet has just 4 instances of these words after each other:

https://www.google.com/search?q=%22had+less+window+than%22

(you can try 'have' and 'has' for 'had'). But you might be right that the informal sense of "window" that I think you imply (window of time) might be technically the best answer in a different context but absolutely not the answer to pick!

So it actually is a good example of a potentially better answer that you shouldn't pick after analyzing the question!

This is normal. In http://www.hup.harvard.edu/catalog.php?isbn=9780674537514 it is appropriately called the exploitation of the large by the small. That book is short and a classic. It is worth reading by anyone who is interested in these matters.

The underlying reason is that most of the time, most are only motivated to put out significant effort for their own personal gain. Which means that in public goods, only if they believe that they will make the difference. Therefore public goods tend to fall into one of the following buckets:

1. A single individual or group supplies it out of self-interest and everyone else is a free rider. (This is the exploitation of the large by the small.) A good example is how most of the world lets the USA play global policeman and, despite complaints, contributes little to the effort.

2. A small group provides the good with complex negotiations where each tries to do as little as possible. A fun example is the infighting within OPEC as it tries to keep oil prices high.

3. A large group that is formed for some other purpose and is coercive in nature provides the good. Most government action falls into this category.

4. The public good fails to be provided. Examples are too numerous to bother listing.

> I just don't understand why some people see them as any different.

Facebook has been far more careless and scandal prone, and it's business model (ads targeted to a person) requires a much more intimate invasion of privacy. Google may collect more private data, but its use is probably much more peripheral to its business (e.g. search term based ads can be pretty effectively targeted without an individual's profile). IMHO, Google's attempts to "improve" its products with private data has actually made them worse.

There are similarities though. Both companies have massive, concentrated influence over the information people see, and have the ability to make decisions that make all this Cambridge Analytica and fake news stuff look like child's play. There are also the economic distortions they both cause by having massively dominant market positions.

After finishing The Red Web[0], reports like this absolutely freak me out.

I appreciate the "popcorn" feeling, but HN normally strives to avoid responses like this, as they don't add quality to a conversation. This is probably why you are getting downvotes.

I have been watching the dynamics between AMD and Intel recently and some interesting things are happening. Jim Keller and Raja headed to Intel. Intel announcing plans to get into the discrete GPU space (a place ridden with patent landmines). The KabyLake chip released with Intel CPU + AMD GPU. Wonder if the companies are aligning to work closely to counter NVidia or if something else entirely is at play.
Why "after the kids are down"?? We switch our amber bulbs on about an hour or two before bedtime, so we all (kid included) get used to the dim relaxing light before we turn in. This is part of evening routine for the kid too.

Security forces have already been hacking hotel door locks for years. For example, Mossad agents were caught on camera in 2010 cracking the lock on Mahmoud Al-Mabhouh's room before assassinating him: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassination_of_Mahmoud_Al-Ma...

I remember reading a related article (sorry, can't find the source now) about the assassination that claimed the agents had tools to break into a large variety of electronic lock companies, so it's unlikely that F-Secure's hack is a one-off discovery.
> Remember the Uber crash video

I always had the feeling they softened the image. Or at the least it was camera with low quality/settings giving a false impression of what the view was. If you pause the video right before impact the detail is still much poorer than you would expect.
My main problem with publications like this is that they are often sensationalized. This type of technology has been around for years and years, same with Casino machine hacks. People who figured this out and developed the devices for it often only use them lowkey, because that's the smart thing to do. Then you have someone who finds out and pushes a news story about it, spinning it to be some massive breakthrough in the hacking world and we're all no longer safe behind hotel keycard locks. There was a documentary I watched a few years ago, maybe it was on netflix but I don't think so, but it was about a guy who figured out how to hack certain Hotel door locks and he abused that to his advantage for upwards of a decade. Why was he able to do this for so long? Because he didn't go running to the press when he figured it out, and to a larger extent because its extremely costly to replace the technology in an entire hotel(same as why companies get hit with malware that exploit bugs that should've been patch months/years prior).

That's not to discredit this team, I'm sure they are full of great people doing honest work.

The thing we didn't realise / understand when countries outlawed or restricted gambling is that gambling isn't about the tangible reward per se.

Psychologically some humans receive a very powerful reward sensation specifically for gambles that pay off. It doesn't matter what the "reward" is so much as that they gambled and won, they get their buzz if they win a slice of cake for guessing how many puppies the secretary's greyhound would have, for a $50 win on the scratch-offs, or for finding the rare Pink Darth Vader in the loot box.

This compulsion is very powerful, and when harnessed it can be good for society - ordinary people do not try to fly faster than the speed of sound for the first time - and it can take individuals to the height of high-risk activities most of us wouldn't have the nerve to try, all the very good Poker players are gamblers for example. But it's also potentially catastrophic for the individual, because they can't stop - or at least they don't want to, and gambles never pay off forever.

This means that restricting gambling for money only worked because that was the most harmful practice available that triggered off this harmful pattern. Once video games began to rely on it too, offering $10 "loot boxes", there was a new way for problem gamblers to destroy their lives, even when you can't "cash out" your winnings, because the psychological compulsion doesn't care about that.
What's the goal? Change society or make a lot of money off the idea? I assume it's going to take a society size investment?

While I do agree, Drupal does publish just the patch for these critical updates for both D7 and D8. You can patch an old version of the site pretty quickly without upgrading or working back in the inevitable core hacks. Each of the big 3 Drupal fixes have been maybe 30 lines of code across 3 or so files, IIRC.

Now if they aren't willing to even pay for that minimal level of service I have little sympathy.
You chose to leave out that OPW was an internship program that GNOME managed on behalf of a number of organizations, that they simply fell behind on sending out invoices and collecting late payments, and that this took place 4-5 years ago.

This pisses me off so bad:

Quicksort does NOT have "the best big-O". It's big-O time complexity is O(n^2). Big-O refers to the worst case time complexity. Quicksort will on average take (n log n) time complexity, but that's not its big-O, that's its big-Theta. Some try to skirt this by saying "if you randomize the order of the data first, it will be sorted in big-O of n log n" but again, that's the average time complexity, not the pathological case.

A lot of CS books teach this wrong. Please stop being wrong: O(Quicksort) is O(n^2)
The ESRB is a voluntary self-regulatory organization, not mandated by law. Most "legitimate" video game publishers and retailers (at least in the US) follow its guidelines and use its ratings because the industry has collectively agreed to police itself under those guidelines with those ratings. Same goes for PEGI, last I checked. This is in contrast with (for example) the ACB, which actually is mandated and controlled by the Australian government.

That said, an "AO" rating would indeed have a chilling effect on store shelves (since most retailers don't even want to carry AO games at all). It could be feasible to make loot boxes an automatic elevation to ESRB AO / PEGI 18 / etc. should those organizations want to do so (and hopefully they would indeed want to do so).

The sinister side of me saw an orchestrated attack by the media (lets call them the establishment) that FB or Zuck can not be trusted to manage FB [1]. There has been a constant narrative, just google around these keywords. Surprisingly from the same "journalistic" machine that pushed a pro-Iraq war narrative without asking the questions they should have asked for [2].

My cynical view is, that this was a way to push FB to censor media content in favor of the establishment. Essentially, FB should allow Washington Post, NY Times, etc. to be shared with no shadow censorship, but the lesser established journalistic outlet should be censored.

You can see it from their side. NY Times or Washington Post are brands. But with FB, their brand value is not bringing them as much traffic as lesser entities. So, if I'm Bezos or others who own these entities, I would be unhappy to see FB providing an equal playing field to everyone.

I think the "RussiaGate" provided the best push for this argument. That if there is no censorship by FB, foreign players can influence our election. Though Comey's letter shown to have impacted the election [3], the $50k of ad buying on FB, made the news round and continues to pervade among many people that these ads probably changed the outcome of the election.

I'm sad to see Zuck and FB have succumbed to these pressures and are closing down venues for alternative journalist to state their views.

Waze does distribute redirected traffic if there are other alternatives. I've seen it first hand on the 401 in Toronto; an accident occurred, I was routed one way to clear it and the person beside me had Waze went another way.. 20km later.. we are both back on the 401! Same car, same person, both using Waze.
>Also, a ton of this conversation makes a lot more sense if you make the assumption that the interviewee is misremembering the questions

But (per [1]) then what would be the charitable mis-remembering of the recruiter saying "that's not the answer I have on my sheet of paper." If it were someone technically competent, that would never be the response; it would be a technical explanation of the error. The most likely scenario is that a non-technical person is being expected to gauge technical answers.

Incidentally, someone on that thread [2] suggested making a meme of that, where the interviewer regards an answer as wrong, despite being very good, because it's "not what they have".

Example from my experience:

Interviewer: "What would be the run time if you did it this way [explanation]."

Me: "Oh, wow, that's a pretty clever approach! In that case, it wouldn't even depend on the input size. Then it would only be limited by IO."

Interviewer: "Wrong. It's constant."

You forgot one more thing, google is loosing enginers due to it creepy nature. I was invited to interviews on multiple occasions but they are one of the last companies I would work for. I don't care about money, wherever I was working, I had it more than enough to have a really good life and a thousand $ up or down doesnt make much of a difference. But working for a company that actually engages into global spying of people is like a mental prostitution. Not I only wouldn't work for them but also wouldn't take anyone working for them in past working for me. I value people opinion about their impact to the world and google guys went way off into wrong direction. They are simply emitting the signal "I would do anything for money" and this attitude can be understood for someone working in McDonalds, but for a hi-tech worker that can get job anywhere, this is just unacceptable. It shows moral rottening (or just beeing "simpleminded") and... well sorry, there is more than enough other people I will be far more happy to work with. I am really sorry that people like Rob Pike and Ken Thompson, which I highly respect, work for them. As developers (Not Google, not Facebook, not Apple, not Microsoft! The Developers! Without them, they aren't worth a dime!) we are at the moment rulling the world, we have to accept some moral obligations instead of just beeing slaves to making money for others stock options.

Or it could show that Autosteer was so unsafe that people became scared and stopped using it entirely, engaging in the much safer method of driving manually and lowering the accident rate of Teslas after Autosteer. Or it could show that drivers new to Teslas have initial higher accident rates because of the driving differences between traditional gas cars and EVs. Or it could show that Tesla changed the sensitivity of the airbags in the same update.[1] Or it could shows that autosteer is actually less safe than TACC alone but AEB and collision warnings more than make up the safety difference. The point is that we don't even know that autosteer is actually reducing accident rates. No matter if you're a fan of Tesla or not you should support the release of the data the NHTSA worked with so we can do an independent analysis.

I feel that the C ABI is local maximum, with a massive associated opportunity cost. Imagine if all the operators that have been written, "bottom up", in one language could be easily accessible from others. And the only way to leverage that today is to go through the crusty, unsafe API that no-one really wants to export to unless it's required in the spec of a project.

Swift soon being able to call python is a massive step forward, but a lower level API that wouldn't require a runtime yet still was superior to C's feels like a massive win for the industry that's just waiting to happen.
