This article, and apparently the "Vision" it critiques, are missing a huge consideration. Not everything that looks like information warfare is information warfare. People have accidentally triggered DDoS by making DNS or configuration mistakes. People have "hijacked" entire country's internet traffic by making BGP mistakes. People have also done those things on purpose, for nefarious reasons. Will Cyber Command take out, say, Hurricane Electric when someone there makes a BGP mistake?

All that Cyber Command is going to be is a defender of the economic status quo. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that a lot of forms of "market disruption" are going to look like "cyber war" to Cyber Command.
I've never used teams, but speaking as a user of questions, half the price and third the usability.
They have a problem accessing their cash right now, sure. It's not 'gone'.

And any number of developers have done exactly what the other poster said with bitcoin - exchanges have gone bust or just scammed an 'exit', wallet services get compromised or scammed, people's computers get infected, all sorts of stuff.

Tell me honestly, should I prefer a system where if it's gone, it's really gone forever and completely unrecoverable?
One where the security advice tells me to keep multiple computers, one of which has never been networked, and perform laborious procedures with USB keys to use my money? And one in which the community will tell me I was wrong, sorry for my loss, and move on?

Yeah, they're in a bad place right now, they won't be forever. This is better than Bitcoin.
The compression is surely miserable to start, but I hope people stick with it to see what happens next.

In Lean Manufacturing, a common process improvement technique is to tighten some constraint. E.g., if you normally have 10 boxes of parts in play, you drop it to 9 and see what happens. Probably something will happen, as they ended up at 10 for a reason. But then you consciously solve issues until 9 is as smooth as 10. The metaphor they use is ships in channels: if you lower the water level a bit, it will expose rocks, which you remove. Then you lower the water level a bit more.

My guess is that if these teams are doing weekly retros, they'll feel the pain of compression. People will then brainstorm ways to make the least useful meeting unnecessary. Or to make a longer meeting shorter, and therefore more efficient. First they'll start with the easy things, but eventually they may move on to rearranging workflows, cross-training, and maybe even swapping people among teams.

It's really weird to me that in office-work meetings take priority over direct value-generating work. Compare that with a factory floor or a restaurant, for example, where everybody gets that it's bad to randomly stop direct productivity. Hopefully having clear time constraints will help reverse that.
Find a better place to work. I'm not sure what environment you're in but security and privacy would be an extremely valuable superpower on my team.

As far as I'm concerned, fishing should be completely banned in international waters -- this would also help developing nations that currently greatly suffer from commercial fishing emptying the seas close to their exclusivity zones.

Bloomberg goes behind paywall after success with Businessweek subscription model
Any place you can travel to is by definition part of this universe. According to the multiverse hypothesis, any mathematical structure is a universe. For instance, "the locus of points equidistant from a given point" is one of the universes. You cannot travel there; that universe has no way to accomodate a representation of you, let alone a representation which could record the experiences of being in that universe and then travel back to tell about it.
I have varying degrees of success with it. I do have a few recordings of calls (JR will email you an audio recording of the call after you hang up) that are quite hilarious.
I may try this myself. I work on my own. But, I find stuff like appointments, phone calls, errands, occasional tutoring, etc really slows down work. Even the gym, which I do MWF.

So, Tuesday-Thursday might me an ideal set of days to schedule nothing. It still leaves two days to schedule external things. I tried a one day system before but it was too rigid.
At least in Germany these things are connected, in that keeping people employed part-time, and not using fixed hours, serves to transfer risk from the employer to the employee, thus further undermining long-term social stability. Not to be too anti-capitalist about it, but one of the reasons societies grant rights to corporations is that they are supposed to move risk away from the workers and thus improve the buffer of economic stability. Obviously it doesn't always work like that in practice.

IANAStatistician, just pointing out that "hey look 5% unemployment" can be a very misleading statistic to use for laypersons.
"Conscious thought requires a delicate interplay of neurons and chemicals, that if disturbed by visiting a permutation of the multiverse, would cease to function."

The multiverse need not have different physical laws; the quantum multiverse if true, for example, is basically our universe just viewed from a different point of view.

"Humans can not directly observe an alternative permutation, but even if they could, how would they be able to find their way back to their original permutation if there's an infinite number of permutations?"

Unsurprisingly, science fiction authors have pondered this for a while, and one popular answer is a travel machine where part of it still stays in the universe of origin, so returning home is like pulling a rope back in. Even if we're in a quantum multiverse where the source universe and the destination universe are continuing to fuzz, you can still imagine there's some sort of correspondance that means that any given individual will still have a uniquely-corresponded universe to travel home to.

I believe this is all technobabble bunk since I doubt it can correspond to any possible real configuration of atoms and energy, but, like I said, someone could well prove me wrong by building one, and that would be that.
Everyday Math Is Fun: Learn Easy Math and Practice Daily (free for 3 Days ONLY)
With all due respect, I think you're reading something into my comment that simply isn't there. Perhaps I should have denoted 'formal education', because the OP is educated, just not formally.

The only thing I meant (beyond what I said) is that while there are many good reasons to pursue higher education, if one does so with the goal of ridding oneself of impostor syndrome, that could very well turn out to be ineffective or perhaps even counter-productive.

I'm simply relaying my own experience to the OP. I work in software with a post-graduate degree and am also licensed by a professional engineering body and while it's not with me all the time, I do endure bouts of impostor syndrome as well despite these things that should assure me. It makes sense; now I've got these extra letters behind my name that I'm supposed to live up to - and we know how our minds can take that and place unreasonable expectations on ourselves.

My experience, especially in higher education, was that the more I learned, the more I realized how much I didn't know. I noticed this amongst my peers as well. Some of the people I knew that suffered the worst had PhDs!

Ex-professional gambler checking in.

It's no secret that it's possible to figure out which horse is going to win a race with reasonable statistical confidence.

The trick - and always has been - is making sure you can make a profit from it.

If a horse has a 30% chance of winning a race, and you're being offered odds as if it only has a 10% chance (i.e. 9/1), you have identified "value" or what Kelly Criterion would describe as "edge". You can mathematically in the long term make a profit, and Kelly can even tell you what %age of your bank to wager to optimise your expected returns: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelly_criterion

Identifying the "true" odds of an outcome and then identifying what odds you're prepared to take (adding an over-round), is a key piece to what bookmakers do when creating what they call "the tissue" - the opening odds they offer that is then adjusted to manage liabilities in line with incoming weight of money (WoM) from bettors.

Kelly was a colleague of Claude Shannon. His papers have stood up to the rigour of mathematical analysis and also make intuitive sense to those who spend enough time thinking about it.

It has successfully been applied in casinos (Blackjack system pioneer Edward Thorpe is/was a fan), bookmakers, hedge funds (Thorpe again, but many other funds apply Kelly too), and everything in between.

But here's the rub: you won't get to keep your edge for very long. Bookmakers, betting exchanges and parimutuel systems all adapt to deal with long-term winners. Your window of opportunity is limited. Already bookmakers have good systems for identifying true odds for English Premier League games and make a tidy sum on over-rounds (profit margins) as thin as 3% because they can eliminate value.

That said, as any fan of Sabremetrics will tell you, statistical analysis of a sport you love can be very rewarding and I would not put anybody off this if they already love the horses (as I still do).

Just tread carefully, and to make a long-term killing you're going to have to treat your setup like a hedge fund and always be moving around finding new edges.

I'm @p7r on Twitter if anybody wants to talk about this - I could talk for hours and hours and hours... :-)

The problem with the scenario described above isn't that the CEO's situation is implausible, it's that it's presented entirely without evidence, and none was additionally demanded.

This IS NOT INCORRECT. I have numerous apps that still work. Provisioning profiles have nothing to do with the app running and everything to do with installing the app. If you need to re-install the app XCode automatically regenerates a new provisioning profile for you. Please educate yourself about the details of how technical items work before speaking negatively about something.

I have my fair share of complaints about Apple but speaking negatively via ignorance is always something that should be corrected.

As soon as you admit to yourself that all vehicles must have certain features that "overlap" (such as the requirement of having a windshield on the front of the vehicle so the driver can view the road in front of them, aerodynamic properties), you quickly realize those 2 pictures at the top of the article look nothing alike. All press is good press? I get the feeling if that was the goal here it's going to backfire badly for Nikola Motors.
I'm not an Objective-C developer--everything I ever wrote using the Mac App Store was in Java, of all things!--but I found it really not a problem at all.

There are some applications that were incompatible for one design reason or another with the OS X sandbox, but I still to this day think a lot of it was "this is harder than I am used to, therefore no."
At a certain level, knowing how to get ideas approved by creating a PowerPoint slide becomes important. So does being able to create a properly formatted statement of work or proposal.

Applying Service Design Thinking in the Real World
That's not how I meant it. I don't think it's typical of phone calls; it is certainly common among people who make phone calls.

Also, both qualifications in that sentence are important - not only "an hour at a time", but "direct contact". I have been on long calls at work with a landline/VOIP phone and found my ear hurts after a while with the earpiece resting against my ear. So I know that when my ear does not hurt it is because I have not been holding the phone against it for a long time.
I'm sure I'm ignorant of other reasonable options, but this one is quite appealing as a small co, even if only used by one person.

"How do I install pip manually on OS X with xyz constraints?"
How to set up escalation rules in salesforce
I would submit that a) given the hot job market, ICs have more freedom to improve work practices than they think, and b) changes like this get much easier if they are done collectively.

As we see in this case, it started with one team. A junior dev can't unilaterally change the schedule, but they can certainly point out the problem, see if others are feeling the pain of too many meetings, and propose an experiment to improve productivity. And then if a whole teams says, "Manager, we are eager to be more productive, so we are trying X," it's going to be pretty hard for a manager to say, "No, productivity isn't important here."
Now we have a much more lucrative application for them.

True, but Trump got the votes where they mattered. Since we're categorizing votes, a majority of people didn't vote for president at all (44.37%) when compared to Clinton (28.43%) or Trump (27.20%) [1].

You'd think in that case they'd have gone with 10.10.10.10. Silly people.
Thank you for the response. Actually I also don't see it as "massive" thing, small niche is fine, especially if you fit well into it :) But despite that, I'm interested why do you see it in that way? Because the type of content? Or because the way of consuming content in such way? Or both? :)
Sounds wonderful! I look forward to those days where I am not interrupted by a useless meeting or conference call. Unfortunately, they are rare.
This is a great explanation. I've long thought about these two conflicting effects, and I think as you pointed out it has something to do with what nowadays gets described as 'culture'. Dunning-Kruger seems to dominate in the 'everyone gets a trophy' culture in which I was raised; whereas in cultures that (at least in the way they speak about themselves) pride themselves on meritocracy, leaderboards, stack ranking, and the like, the impostor syndrome probably takes over.
Maybe you can just observe something coming out of an alternative universe into yours.

Maybe you could go in an alternative universe that is different, but not different enough that it prevents you to function.
Another neat trick I've picked up on from other people use is to use DND mode on Slack when you're focusing. That way if it's actually critical to get a hold of you in real time (but not so critical that it warrants a page) there's an option to do that.

People are surprisingly respectful of it, and unlike just going dark it signals to people that you're available if need be but focused on something.
I've never found (recently) how to donate to 7-zip, it seems the author removed the option to do so on the website. Maybe I'm too stupid, so please correct me if I'm wrong and you find a link.
Eventually it became almost an HFT-type thing like in the financial markets, the biggest advantage comes to the person able to put a bet in at the last possible nanosecond because they will have the most accurate prices.

Which would be fine (or at least comparable), except the pool software is way slower at updating when new bets come in and the tracks take a 10-17% commission on every bet, which is a drag that is just really difficult to overcome.
To be fair most of those policies were introduced before Trump. USA is paranoid compared to other countries.

For example I would love to visit Iran, but that would future visits in USA very difficult.

I second it. The thing with donations is many people assume that someone is gonna donate (including me) and click "not now or later", where as in gofundme we would see how much they raised out of total goal and many people will then put the money.
How much power did the helmet had? If you put your head inside a microwave oven with a power of 800W for a day it will probably hurt you. You can probably fry the tumor (and all your brain) with 800W. (IANAMD)

A cell phone has only 2-4W, so it's the power is much smaller and the risk is not linear.
I judge by the fact that there aren't very many people doing experiments meant to distinguish the various proposals that physicists continue to generally believe there isn't much that can be done to distinguish the various interpretations from each other. Given the incentives to complete such an experiment and even just eliminating one possibility (even if one couldn't nail down which is true), and the fact that it seems to me many of the possible experiments that could do this are more lab-bench style experiments with a laser and a handful of mirrors and electronics rather than Large Hadron Collider-class experiments, I'm guessing the idea that the theories are distinguishable is a minority view, and one that the minority has not yet managed to do something so compelling with that the majority has no choice but to take note.

Was that recently added to the DSM?
There were some misunderstandings that I want to clear up (maybe I will add them in an update to the blog post):

1. Some people mentioned that this would "only affect RAR files" and it would be safe to extract 7z files with 7-Zip prior to version 18.05. This is wrong, because 7-Zip detects the file type from the magic numbers at the beginning of the file. So the exploit can be renamed to 'exploit.7z' and it works just as well.

On /r/sysadmin, someone even mentioned that a temporary solution might be to block RAR files. By the same argument, this is unlikely to be effective.

2. Almost all versions prior to 18.05 are affected. I manually checked version 15.05 and 17.01, and they are definitely affected.

3. Not only 7-Zip itself is affected, but essentially all software that uses 7z.dll as library to extract files. This includes various anti-virus software. However, exploitation may be more difficult (though not impossible) if ASLR&DEP is properly enabled (on all modules).
During my career, other individual engineers interrupting me while I’m working has had a far greater impact on my time than scheduled meetings. What I’ve been dreaming of is an app for interrupting someone that delays requests and batches them up. No walking up to someone at any time and saying “just a quick question”, plan and expect to wait a few minutes.
Why use this when Discourse is free? It is an open source product that lets you store all the data in your own database. And it’s by the same guys, too.
