willstrafach says: "if you tried that, you would get a screen informing you that searching US Persons is forbidden. As it sounds intentional in your scenario, you would then be fired and be subject to further action."

Nonsense!

Firstly if the bad guys had the assistance of a systems administrator, they could modify privilege levels to suit their needs. No warnings would be issued and no forbidden access would be noted or logged.

But more importantly, you speak as if there were only one way to "selectively monitor" or that, to monitor, one must use the programmed pathways into a system! But any decent system has realtime monitoring software, database patching tools and editors, realtime modification tools and in-house ad-hoc reporting software that is neither logged nor monitored. Furthermore, all systems have backups and backups can be stolen or copied. The backed up data can be restored and examined on systems other than the one from which it was collected.

Snowden accessed "secure" data w/o timely detection. IIRC he also claimed that, had he the desire, he could have listened in on White House phone conversations w/o detection.

This is all w/o the addition of rogue software/hardware or outside help. Were that available, the possible range of techniques would be much greater. You lack imagination.
I think Norman's The Design of Everyday Things rings incredibly true to this story and its lessons.

There are so many examples in that book where users, frustrated or inconvenienced by the (high-tech) complexity of their tools, devise their own (low-tech) way to use a tiny subset of the features that just barely gets the job done for them--though perhaps not as creatively as writing on the screen here. One is the emergence of scrappy post-it-note instruction guides for basic tasks people would tape next to overengineered phone systems in the 90s. He also presents the concept of a 'gulf of evaluation' that makes contextualizes the difference between designer expectations and actual use (or the difficulty of getting feedback that would bridge this gulf).

The book---in its latest version, intentionally---omits discussions about modern software, but it does more than enough to prove its point with simple everyday examples. I'd highly recommend giving it a read to anyone!
And also, Any amount of study does not say much if all of them uses flawed methodologies ("but that is the best we have" does not make it any better), which has been a serious issue lately..
Although I have an engineering degree, I don't fit the stereotype described. I only like to work on things where the outcome is uncertain.

I believe you can't change that characteristic of people much. Rather than trying to teach people who aren't entrepreneurial to be entrepreneurial, it's probably better to teach tech skills to entrepreneurial people.
So a next step should be redesigning biosphere to eliminate suffering or eliminating all sufficiently intelligent animals. Their life is a struggle for survival followed by death, after all.
To fix this, there could be a new `X-Frame-Options`: `compose-over`. The browser rendering context will compose the frame separately, and always place it on the top of the rendering context, above every other element; regardless of the host page element's z-index, opacity, whatever.

It's kind of like how an app cannot draw over system UI; like the permissions dialog.

I'm surprised this is not how X-Frame-Options worked in the first place.

I have investigated multiple cyber incidents pertaining to swift transfers including malware and insider collaboration, the ground reality at the most institutions is that their infrastructure are poorly designed and are insecure by default. In one of the bank's I visited, the Swift AGS was on the same vlan as the rest of the network, including admin and receptionist's PC. No EDR, basic AV, no application aware firewalls, no network baselining, improperly configured AD events, 2 month log retention period, lack of standardized OS golden images and pirated operating systems cracked using executables downloaded from internet. Worst, AGS was managed through a PC accessible via TeamViewer protected through a weak password. You may consider this as an isolated case, but on ground, most of the banks only focus on CBS and security takes a backseat, until something happens.

Clara I’m a citizen of USA, My younger sister was sicking of
breast cancer and her name is David Sandra I and my family have taking her
to all kind of hospital in USA still yet no good result. I decided to go to
the internet and search for cancer cure so that was how I find a lady
called peter Lizzy she was testifies to the world about the goodness of a
herbal man who has the root and half to cure all kind of disease and the
herbal man email was there. So I decided to contact the herbal man for my
younger sister help to cure her breast cancer. I contacted him and told him
my problem he told me that I should not worry that my sister cancer will be
cure, he told me that there is a medicine that he is going to give me that
I will cook it and give it to my sister to drink for one week, so I ask how
can I receive the cure that I am in USA, he told me

That I will pay for the delivery service. The courier service can
transport it to me so he told me the amount I will pay, so my dad paid for
the delivery fee. two days later I receive the cure from the courier
service so I used it as the herbal man instructed me to, before the week
complete my sister cancer was healed and it was like a dream to me not
knowing that it was physical I and my family were very happy about the
miracle of Doctor so my dad wanted to pay him 5 million us dollars the
herbal man did not accept the offer from my dad, but I don't know why he
didn't accept the offer, he only say that I should tell the world about him
and his miracle he perform so am now here to tell the world about him if
you or your relative is having any kind of disease that you can't get from
the hospital please contact dr.sakuraspellalter@gmail.com or whatsapp him

I feel like the idea of null is fine, but the implementations are idiosyncratic.
Null is an unknown/unknowable/invalid value.
You can't know if null = null. This should be an exception or other error.
You can't know if 10 = null. Null is unknown. It might be 10, it might not. This should be an exception or other error.
You can't have a meaningful result of 10 * null. A pointer to null is meaningless.

Languages which lack a way to signify an error other than null can be an issue. Most modern languages have option types and/or exceptions, both of which provide good ways to deal with error conditions.

The first one (check if an integer is odd or even) is a hack, sure. But I can't think of anywhere you'd use it in the real world over (n % 2), which almost everyone will understand much quicker what you're doing.

The rest aren't hacks, they're bit manipulations, which are crucial for those who need them, and just about useless to those who don't.

After evaluating both platforms in more detail I will probably start with freelancer.com as it is possible to have an arbitrary name (e.g. "elephantdesign") instead of real name only. This makes it simpler to tailor your profile to a specific niche in my opinion and seems more privacy aware. Obviously both platforms are pretty intrusive, but at least freelancer.com guard your real name.

However there seems to be an agency mode on Upworks which might be similar.
>None of these associations are actually true,

Have you done research on any of these yourself? Also, I don't think you can put all those things in the same basket. For example, the last two. Doing the research on those might require huge resources that are way above the head of a single individual or small organization...

And in similar manner, every such issue might have different aspects that it might be stupid to generalize all of them into one category.

Human beings have a natural tendency to do this, which is why we are so easy to fool. May be, don't try to do that...

This is a really well written article.

I recall a video talking explicitly about this problem - it was something about using the browser paint API in conjunction with iframes for security? The gist was a browser should be able to tell in real time if an iframe is visible and should be able to block user input depending on whether or not the site was hiding the iframe, putting something on top of it, pushing it off screen, moving it around, etc...

But I can't remember the source. If I can find it, I'll add it in an edit. And of course if anyone else knows the talk I'm thinking of, please link.

No.

The server has already sent it to me. The data is already in my computer. I can do whatever I want with it. Does a magazine publisher get mad if I rip out the advertisement pages and throw them in the trash?

Nobody implicitly agrees to anything. Is that even a thing? People simply open up sites and consume whatever's on them.

>Of course it's stealing.
>it's clearly stealing

That's about as dishonest as claiming piracy is stealing. Making copies of something doesn't subtract the original from its owner, therefore it is obviously not stealing. It's called artificial scarcity for a reason: it doesn't actually exist. Receiving ad-loaded copies of something and then using a computer program to remove the noise is not stealing, it is user experience improvement.
Nope. And, FWIW, I'd bet Aurora has deviated far from core MySQL at this point, too.

To be clear, the point I'm making is that economic interests are aligned for vaccine manufactures to make vaccines and for people to take them. Just because both sides have a vested interest in taking them, there isn't suddenly an invalidation of all pro-vaccine research (e.g. everything that shows no link between vaccines and autism).
"where can I get plasticine clay avengers characters for my kids?"

Buying pre-made toys defeats the purpose of the clay, which is for kids to make their own toys out of.

It's like recommending you buy your kids some paints and paint brushes only to hear someone ask, "great, where can I buy them a painting of their favorite character?" You don't. That's not the point. If the kids want a painting of their favorite character, the paints and brushes empower them to paint their own. Same with clay.

The results might not be up to the high standards of adults, but usually kids don't care, have a lot of fun with the materials anyway, and actually learn to be creative instead of mere consumers of someone else's creativity.

"kids don't want the toy that are good for them. They want "cool" stuff"

Cool stuff that they get bored with 5 minutes after they got it. Clay gives them an inexhaustible material that they can shape in to whatever they desire (including the cool stuff that they make themselves), and if they're bored with one thing they just mash it up and make something else.

I speak from personal experience -- having spent endless amounts of time playing with clay as a kid while many of my other toys languished. Of course it's not the ultimate toy, and kids will eventually get bored with it too and move on to something else. But it'll always be waiting there for whatever new thing their imagination conjures up next, instead of needing yet another trip to the toy store.
There's no downtime in mirroring a cluster with MirrorMaker, and it's become common to isolate producers from consumers to separate clusters, see https://medium.com/netflix-techblog/kafka-inside-keystone-pi...

Ordering of messages is completely unaffected, it's the routing of future events that's affected when you increase partition count. This is critical for some use cases (windowing of data for analytics purposes, for example) but irrelevant to others.

Data duplication issues? This sounds like FUD also, but common guidance is to design your events to be idempotent, or utilize Kafka's new exactly-once delivery.

You can expand partition counts for a topic dynamically.

You can't currently decrease partition counts, because given the current design that could orphan both data and consumers.
This is a very interesting read. I wonder if Google has an in-house fabrication facility for all of its TPU's.
This was the most concerning thing to me too. How do cheques in the US work in terms of verification?
That's clever but that's so many dB down with any sane anti-aliasing filter that it would require quite the sound source.

Based on flipping through the pages of the paper (https://arxiv.org/pdf/1708.09537.pdf), it looks like they're taking advantage of the non-linearity in the response at high frequencies to effectively demodulate a lower-frequency signal that was mixed up to ~22 KHz.

Which, if that's what they're doing, is totally awesome!
Don't forget that lead is quite a dense material.
I agree but I think it’s easier to make sense of if you’re actually doing you own thing or have some equity in something rather than strictly a fix salary.
I haven't heard of such a provision for a tech company.

I'd suggest that if you request a change to their contract, ask that it be limited to false or misleading statements, and cite some worry like concern over a personal blog or similar. It's usually best to come across as having a specific and practical concern.
I just hope that they still include software engineering etc. I've interviewed many "AI specialists" who probably know AI pretty well (I'm not qualified to make that judgement) but they can't code their way out of a paper bag. Basic data structure errors, terrible organization, etc.
This could be a useful variation on a trick for tracking
leakage of documents: distribute N paper "copies" of a
document to a pool of suspected leakers, each "copy" with tracking data embedded, and when leaks occur, match the
tracking data to the leaker. Old way: use apparent
typos to track, this way: use font variations, next way:
use variations in kerning between words.
I always read "innovation" as rent seeking opportunities when a company says it.
Attempted or successful?
I would not sign, period. The clauses are likely unenforceable (in California at least), but -- in my opinion -- any company willing to put such rubbish in their contracts is likely to abuse their power.

That being said, if you can't afford the consequences, then I guess I'd sign it, and start looking.

IANAL
If you stick to the basics of static html content + styling it's actually a lot easier because there are far fewer browser 'quirks' to work around nowadays (you rarely need browser specific code), and things like flexbox are a lot more intuitive than hacking around with floats.

I'm a front-end dev (amonst other things), so I'm pretty comfortable with React, Angular, etc. And therr are definitely cases where they make sense. But simple static or server side rendered sites are much simpler now.
Is it Dan Kaminsky's DefCon 23 talk?

You’re over emphasizing a particular historical fable. Yes, some AI hype has happened. We’ve all read the “summer project” of McCarthy, Shannon, et al.

But all these recent advances are not just hype. It’s real. Anyone who has been following this area for a long time knows that some big problems (like large-scale image classification) have been solved, and in an orderly way that builds on prior work going back to the 1990s and before. (My ML PhD was in 1995.)

Nobody here is referring to the “singularity” - that is obviously speculation that has nothing to do with the CMU program.
Norman Borlaug would disagree with your characterization of the green revolution. Much of the Green Revolution involved the plant breeding.
At CMU you took no courses in operating systems? Algorithms? Computer hardware or logic? Compilers? Graphics? Databases? Web programming? Distributed systems? Networks? Parallel/HPC? Language theory? Security/crypto?

Because these students will take none of these courses, they will differ significantly from those with a BS in CS. But their AI skills still won't run deep enough to make them expert there either. At best, they'll be conversant with a couple of foci in AI, but not in many other AI areas.

In fact, this program seems custom made to prep for work most typical at Google, Facebook, Microsoft, and not that many others -- doing pattrec forms of ML on large data. Yet they'll lack the skills typical of today's data engineers (basic ML plus HPC/distributed/throughput, networking, and DB /sys admin) or typical of data scientists (nasic ML with a BA in statistics, plus facility with RDBMSes).

Will the absence of these CS skills hamper their competitiveness one day in most mainstream general computing software jobs? I think it probably will.

Therefore, if those with this degree don't spend their entire careers working only in big data areas of AI, they will likely will be at a competitive disadvantage to those with broader skills in CS.
This is effectively a career ender as well, she will never be promoted if she stays in.
