Honestly there are a lot of ways for people to foot-gun themselves when dealing with providing a service. HPKP isn't perfect, but deprecating it just for the sake of keeping some incompetent people safe is just silly. Might as well remove HSTS and not roll out Expect-CT because everything allows someone to foot-gun themselves.
So a user's data is worth $0.07 according to the SEC.
> ... one of the things that horrifies me about transplants is that, once you are listed, you essentially sit around hoping that a young, healthy person who is a tissue match dies tragically in the prime of their life in an accident so that you get a second shot at life.

I've thought about this some, because I carry a donor card.

I have read an account of someone who had been waiting for transplant (kidney, if I recall correctly). The call comes, she and her husband are driving two hours to where the operation will be, they're all happy... and then it hits her: Someone had to die for her to get that kidney.

But from my (abstract) perspective as a (potential) donor, I'm dead anyway. You might as well take my parts, because I don't need them any more. Whoever I am, I'm already gone, and I'm not coming back. So take my parts with my blessing, and don't feel guilty about it. Use them in good health and long life.

I have seriously thought about writing a letter to organ recipients, stating all this, but I don't know if my family would be allowed to give it to them...
Being ethical was neither the main catalyst/competitive edge nor the implication of capitalism. You stay on top in a capitalistic market by being competitive, not by being ethical.

Whoever taught you that pro-capitalism ideals in high school was just as delusional as the person who taught me the pro-socialism ideals in high school -- if not more. At least I believe most people who recite all the pro-socialism ideals in socialist countries are well aware that they are bullshit but just doing it for the money and safety.

I like the idea of a proper and respected exam of some kind to test you on a variety of skills that are actually valuable in general and in specific.

I've attempted to gather data from colleagues around me but the data is limited. Posting online doesn't get much attention either. But I am trying to gather enough data to see if it would even be possible to create such an exam.

If a bunch of developers took a few minutes of their time to answer questions regarding what kinds of things should go into an exam and why (or heck, even a better teaching curriculum than what we have now) I think we could easily come up with something pretty awesome.

But, again, gathering that kind of attention and asking developers to provide you with insight is hard.

I'd love to tackle it if others were willing to help.
Thank you for this.

My (white, suburban) roommate was into this, big time. I didn't get it, although funk just reached down inside me and grabbed something, when I heard it.

I think people are confusing lock in with lack of choice.

Any network platform is creating lock in through network effects and your data that is stored there is also creating some amount of lock in. You could choose to abandon that network for any other one, there will be some pain felt in regards to personal data but that's about it.

In a lack of choice context, you literally have no choice. Like with many locations and the cable provider that you use. If you don't use them, you have no alternative.

Most of these lock-in platforms are really not a necessity, and the reality is that it's not the data as much as the network itself that becomes the large lock in mechanism.

But either way, it's not the same thing as having only one option available. Then you truly have no ability to move elsewhere.

>the incumbent systems already work well without whatever added capabilities a PoW system provides.

Would you consider Wells Fargo's employees setting up fake accounts on behalf of their customers and charging for them, an example of these systems "working well"? Blockchain alternatives have really only seen anything close to mass adoption in the last 3 to 4 years. These are emergent solutions which are already pivoting to hybrid versions that run on renewable energy (it is afterall a race to mine with the least cost possible) and while unproven, proof of stake gives a hint towards the ongoing work to mitigate the negative impact of the underlying resource consumption. It's important to be highly sceptical and rigourous in evaluating blockchain technologies, but could it be advantageous to do so with a longer timeline as the base for analysis? Many critics here seam to treat this as if the verdict were already in.
on the higher level yes, but anything dealing with lower level things like kernel interfaces, devices, etc no

Google makes it easy to find stolen identities and social security numbers (and login credentials and API tokens and passwords and so on). Not just on Facebook. Anywhere and everywhere across the entire internet. It's not like there is a legitimate use for social security number searches (research aside which could require an API key). Google isn't stopping it. It provides tooling. It runs ads alongside the results. If Facebook is supposed to catch and censor this stuff, then Google should be too. If Google gets a libertarian pass, then perhaps so should Facebook.

I think bits of SRAM per unit of area is a benchmark that some people use, as it corresponds to something that's meaningful and measurable.
Except that the paper seems to find the reverse connection - self-harm is typically acute, and this is not inhibited by hunger.
> but some people will find it very uncomfortable

And are they being reasonable or not?

I know people who find it very uncomfortable to leave their house.

I know people who find it very uncomfortable to talk to someone they don't know.

I personally find any kind of sales and advertising incredibly uncomfortable.

Almost everyone finds it very uncomfortable when they have their views challenged.

Just because something makes some people uncomfortable doesn't make it bad.

The difference between HSTS, Expect-CT and HPKP is that the former two offer a way out (support HTTPS, provide qualified SCTs) whereas HPKP can effectively brick your domain for a couple of months, and it's not even hard to pull off.
If you have DNSSEC with CAA, you can use that to choose a CA which has a contractual relationship with you. That contract can say anything you both like, for example it can say:

"All issuances under example.com shall first be approved by telephone call to our security office on 1-234-567-8900, and the certificate issued shall have a notBefore timestamp no earlier than 24 hours after an SCT included in the certificate"

This requires no new technology that I can see. If CAA and DNSSEC work together as intended (which I admit is a big "If" but they can and should) the Bad Guys now need to mess with the phone system for approval, then wait past the MMD and hope you aren't watching for their shenanigans. Or break into a CA and issue for themselves. That's a much higher bar, albeit at great cost.

For years it happened to me that more often than not when I found something really useful on stack overflow it was closed for some dumb reason.

I will say that my best investment by far has been real estate, followed by typical 401k index funds. (Pre-IPO stock options have been hit or miss.)

The best advice I can give is to live below your means; it doesn't mean you have to deny yourself everything, but going out 5x/week vs 2x/week really does add up over the years.
which is why building from source is handy, if you want to know what something does, just take a look.

It's a one-time cost for knowledge that will have benefits indefinitely. I don't eat or wear animals, but I'd holocaust a million rats to solve the opioid epidemic.
On the theory that iPhone demand is getting lower, I'd have to agree. I used to upgrade every 2 years because there was some cool feature or battery life improvement I wanted, but my 6S is definitely going to be sticking around until the next announce (so 3 years now). I really can't see why my parents would upgrade their phones in the next 5 years unless their batteries stop working.

Whats driving new phone sales nowadays? Games and apps have sort of plateaued (though lucrative for some), streaming services are pretty much matured and are going to work on any current device for a while. I can't think of what the "next" thing is going to be. I felt that health was their best shot, but it seems like the tech just isn't there to give exceptionally useful data, plus you probably need a watch.

The only thing I can think of that keeps it going with non-tech is the status symbol aspect. Resolution is past the point of really mattering. Battery life could be improved, but its finally alright. Bezels? Who really cares about a few MM of screen space, except for those who want to signal they paid $1000 for a phone?

> Undefined behavior anywhere in the program can legally make any part of the program do anything at any time.

This is only true if the undefined behavior is guaranteed to be reachable.

This is not true in general.

Putting "if (0) 1/0;" in a program does not cause undefined behavior.

Oh, I think that might be right! It's been a little while. :-)
not sure. but you don't have permission to modify that inode, hence, no permission to link. the model is pretty straightforward.

also, being able to 'create' files 'owned' by another user in other locations (by linking them into place) could create quite a few bizarre and undefined corner cases, some of which might have implications for system stability and/or security.
Well put. I realized that when my boss compared me to a pigeon taking a shit on the company when I am quitting. Clearly, all the "I want my employee to be happy here" talk is just BS and only fools geeks that are naive enough to believe it and actually work their ass off.
so incoming pain signal is filtered through low-pass and high-pass filters, the intermediate output from the low-pass is modulated by hunger and then added to the unmodified high-pass signal. this sum is the effective or subjective pain signal.

perhaps this could be used for online learning neural networks (with neural plasticity): goals are eventual and dont need to be accutely achieved upon the moment of forming the goal (i.e. feeding can be postponed), while punishment of the neural network should be accute in order to focus on the problem while any information related to the problem is still present in the brain.
Yes, in a variety of ways. Most obvious ones I'm able to imagine off the top of my head:

- It could be a cheap phone on a cheap plan; Wal-Mart sells basic Android phones with prepaid plans for less than $50 [0].

- It could be government-subsidized; the plan itself can be subsidized through the FCC's Lifeline program [1], and I think (though I can't confirm yet) there are similar programs for the phone itself

- It could be a gift from a family member or friend (I personally know a few people for whom this is the case)

The problem with this, is that I often find myself reading SO answers after searching something on Google. To stretch the scenario a bit, I'm often stuck on a deserted island with only an old shoe and a glass bottle. In that context, it doesn't matter that a hammer is the right tool for the job.
I’m assuming the question we are trying to answer is not “which H_n is most probable”, but rather “how safe is it to conclude that H_0 is not true”. For example, say we are concerned with whether the difference between two groups is less than a certain amount or greater than a certain amount.
As the saying goes: "You can sleep in your car, but you can't drive your house to work"
The harsh reality is that most scientists are not sieving through every statistics book they can get their hands on in order to find out all the reasons they might be wrong. The "individual motivation" to become statistics experts is only present in a few fields, and in the others it is ousted into applied courses taught by other departments.

Statistics is directly necessary in ML, so it's a "profit center" and emphasized. In many sciences it's treated like a cost center (something that you need, like IT, but that lies outside of your central expertise.)
It is possible that there is some other rule in place for that, but the GDPR isn't retroactive as far as I remember.
Just because the status quo and doctor's behaviour is currently a certain way, doesn't mean it's the right way. The efficiency lacking in our health-"care" systems is astonishing - there needs to be self-regulation mechanisms and accountability.

Emergency situations is an orange if everything else is an apple, so of course there can be protocol and acceptable boundaries for each.

Humans are humans, mistakes can happen - especially that we aren't aware we're making, and therefore bound to make them again. Accountability will lead to necessary learning and improvement.
There's a big difference when you compare making 7nm features with about 100 process steps whereas EUV are doing it in like 4 steps.
Not necessarily, if there is one constant in the jobs I've been in is that even if we've got the funds we're pretty much constantly under staffed (ie. overloaded). HR is the broken link.

Honestly I think it's because mediocre engineers are more trouble than they're worth. We're collectively not good enough at building software to adopt a "warm body" approach.

Huge asterisk that as long as you arrive to the correct solution with minimal help. I've had plenty of algo/ds interviews and it seems like needing help to see the trick in the question pretty much means you're out.

> Undefined behavior can ‘go back in time’, but only to a point where the compiler can prove it will necessarily occur in the future.

I don't quite get what you mean here. If the compiler can prove that you perform undefined behavior, isn't it legal for it to move it to the start of the program and literally produce no output?

I really wonder how age is taken into account. If it were really an issue, they could have rejected my application from the start and not bother with an interview.

Maybe the interviewer was biased and led to think I was "out of practice" because he knew I was on the older side. But I'll give them the benefice of the doubt. I believe it's a competitive position and I simply wasn't in the right percentile to qualify.

Now, would my former self 20 years ago be more competitive for this kind of interviews? slightly faster perhaps, but I don't feel I'm at a disadvantage compared to younger candidates.
Someone being smart does not mean they are going to be an architecture astronaut or that they will be unable to cooperate with other people (especially with people who are roughly as smart).
In my experience, there is no such thing as "this cannot happen" in any program with more than 100 SLOC. UB is fine as long as it's treated as "anything may happen", but definitely not as "cannot happen". There's other ways compilers can wring out more performance from current CPUs, than by pretending certain bit patterns will never occur as input to certain operations, and with ever-increasing SIMD widths, optimising code that definitely will happen, will become even more important.

I think low-pass/high-pass is sort of a misleading simplification. When they say "chronic" pain they're referring to inflammatory pain, which is distinguished from "acute" pain by its source, not its time course. (I think. Not a biologist.)

A Mostly Complete Taxonomy of Bikeshare (So Far)
"The body’s basic needs include a timely supply of nutrients and the avoidance of tissue damage, which are signalled in the brain by hunger and pain, respectively. But these needs cannot be fulfilled simultaneously, because their resolution involves mutually exclusive behaviours."

Hold up. Why are these mutually-exclusive? Is nutrient intake not a subset of tissue damage avoidance?

I think I get the gist of what these sentences are trying to say (acute pain takes precedence over hunger, which takes precedence over chronic pain), but that's not what "mutually exclusive" means.
