I think the most telling thing is that the whole 'Kaspersky is evil' stuff started shortly after Kaspersky outed the "Equation Group" (which has always been implied to be the NSA) and the US Cyber Command, along with dozens of bits of malware created by them. The amount of damage outing our malware caused is really difficult to imagine. It certainly destroyed the malware's usefulness, likely led to conflicts with the hardware manufacturers the "Equation Group" was targeting, may have led to political conflict with the groups being targeted (which included for instance foreign media and banks), and much more. The explanation could be as simple as something between revenge and trying to make an example of any company that would out our malware.
I lived in Beijing for 10 years (until 2016). Even the most committed wumao wouldn’t it’s pretty bad. Western media (if you mean by propaganda) if anything makes the problem sound not as bad as it really is, but how could any westerner even begin to comprehend an AQI reading over 300 let alone 500 or 1000. Actually, the only people who say the air isn’t bad are the ones who have never been before.
Anything that is non-fiction or requires going over some segments more than once, reading is better than audiobooks.

And actually, even in the case of fiction, some books have had me re-read over certain parts a few times. For e.g. Three Body Problem has parts which I had to read over, in contrast all the four Hyperion books were relatively easy to follow in audio format.

Where possible, I use audio books as a follow up after I have read the text.

But, most non-fiction books (atleast for me) work better in text format where I can pause, take notes where needed, go over the content again and proceed.
I think you're misinterpreting the point of the parent post. The point isn't to prevent free flow of information, it's to prevent plagiarism. Usually, at least in computer science, course materials, lecture notes, and research papers are freely available on webpages. The other side of the coin from making information widely available is that proper attribution and credit becomes very important culturally. There's no good purpose to be served by copying and pasting something that's freely available when you can just link to it instead.
Can you give some examples? Normally I find that location data makes my user experience worse, for example assuming the language I speak based on the country, or redirecting me away from the url I was trying to go to.
Of course, that‘s the point: with photoTAN et al. it will request a one-time token for each wire transfer, and the token is based on the information (amount and recipient) of the transfer, which the user needs to confirm on its 2FA device.
Yeah, the Github repo on this looks quiet; no responses to the issues posted.

Thank you for having the moral courage to call things that are wrong wrong and taking action. The world needs more people like you.
> There are groups on Facebook, but it's so tied to you that it's hard to just be a part of a community.

It's also a lot less sreamlined. Dare I say it, reddit feels kind of like an RSS stream of popular content.

Facebook groups feel much more like "go check in and read this group" and the timeline has become increasingly useless.
This is what I find is most annoying - the traditional "more money more problems." I actually had the most savings I've ever had in my life while I was a student on $15k a year Government benefits.

Every payrise I've gotten has just gone into more mundane crap - more booze, more expensive food, more spontaneous frivolous holidays...
I didn't know jets were allowed to fly at less than 400 ft over populated areas.
legalization of weed is the worst decision IMO that not only affects the healthy life span but also intoxicate the next gen.
I find this entire situation so odd. None of these people leaving Google over Project Maven had any issues with working for the largest corporate spy agency in the world. They were fine with massive data collection in the pursuit of serving people better ads. But helping analysts find objects in imagery? That’s a bridge too far.
It might be using WiFi to determine your location. Logging each SSID and comparing them to a known database of businesses in the area where you live.
Sure, but so there is in FB. On Reddit you can have multiple accounts (all pseudonymous) and you can participate on whichever subreddits you like. If there's some sub that isn't too welcoming of your views, chances are there is another that is -- an echo chamber if you want it thus, sure, but no worse than FB.
40 of 2700 is 1.5% of deaths. If those are people decades younger than normal deaths, it will bring the numbers down. Not by several years, but by a decimal or two.

> Opioids do not generally cause a person to transition from healthy to unhealthy (they are prescribed to treat a preexisting condition).

This is a very naive view.

People start taking opioids in many different paths, legal and illegal. Some lie to get the prescription, no one can prove you don't have back pain. Some get a prescription after surgery and get addicted that week.

I believe fighter jets are allowed to fly approximately wherever the hell they want.
Just a nitpick. Implementation is about the particular compiler and runtime (stdlib) implementation, not the hardware. Hardware is the platform hosting the implementation (this are ISO C-standard defined terms).

A compiler targeting x86 platform can implement sizeof int == 8, or whatever it pleases, as far as C std is concerned.

In practice compilers dont get creative about this. But there are real world cases where stuff is different, for example: http://www.unix.org/version2/whatsnew/lp64_wp.html

I wonder how this would compare to things like IMS. It's one of few non-relational databases quite widely used for OLTP, and it has a reputation of (possibly) being really fast.
No. I believe it's a fork of the Silverlight runtime, used to be a tiny 2MB runtime to compete with Flash on the browser.
Have any major forums tried a two-axis voting system -- something like Agree/Disagree and Good post/Bad post? I know some people would abuse this and hammer both downvote buttons out of mere disagreement, but I think it would improve the situation.

In most of the subreddits I've seen, it's clear that upvoting for agreement and downvoting for disagreement are both rampant, and I think this is self-perpetuating. When I read a quality post that I disagree with, I would like to stick to the supposed spirit of the voting system and upvote, but I'll think twice about doing so because I know it will be misinterpreted. Giving me a way to explicitly signal one thing and not the other would break this bind.

And even if the system was still abused by 50% of people, it would be possible to offer some interesting filter settings: for example, you could favour posts with a relatively high ratio of Good Post points to Agree points, on the theory that highly agreed-with posts will probably score more Good Post points than they deserve.
Your operating system will see them as storage, not regular DRAM. Intel has released SDKs for developers to use if their applications need to be able to interact with persistent memory in any kind of detailed way (say, if you develop a database product, or a filesystem).

http://pmem.io/pmdk/

It is very likely that generic kernel support will come for use in Linux and Windows directly, building on top of the existing DAX systems in those operating systems (DAX - direct access - APIs being used for IO to memory-like devices, bypassing cache layers which are useful for more traditional storage types). This would allow a user to create a regular old storage volume in their NVDIMM for general use.

https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/filesystems/dax.txt

Do note that NVDIMMs aren't a drop-in replacement for regular DRAM DIMMS, despite using the same bus and electrical subsystem. You'll need proper hardware support on your motherboard and CPU, since memory controllers are on CPU these days.
When that was "the" Reddit it would only show a few comments before replacing comments with a nag link. I see that behavior is gone now. Thanks
Note, you might have already promised to sign the papers.

1) many employment or separation agreements include terms where the employee agrees to cooperate with such things after they leave.
2) your employment agreement probably assigned your IP rights to the company
3) most (all?) countries have patent application procedures that anticipate uncooperative or unavailable inventors

If you refuse to cooperate, you will cost your former employer money while they work through the uncooperative inventor procedures for the country.

If it was a US patent application and you did not have a prior obligation to assign your rights, you could refuse to sign, which would block the patent application. Non-US countries offer fewer rights to individual inventors (vs. the company) so it may not matter much.

I don't think demand increases as the price goes up - only that colleges realized demand for an undergraduate degree was inelastic and that consumers could pay any price because they could get guaranteed loans from the government.
Learn TypeScript from scratch
So here’s the thing... browsers are generally excellent at maintaining backwards compatibility (see “SmooshGate” for christsake). Old frontend frameworks still work just fine, therefore when you complain about frontend development be “unstable” you’re complaining about other people creating or adopting new frameworks/tools. If these things really aren’t worth learning you are free to continue using the old ones.
Could you link to your blog, please? I'd like to read about that when you do end up writing about the experience.
Apollo is brilliant for iOS users.

I wonder how much faster it would be to use the OS' inotify equivalent (if Linux, inotify itself) directly from rust rather than using an external tool.
They can't really complain if they end up flying near model aircraft then.
Funny, I'm learning Scala for work after teaching myself Rust. It's definitely made the whole process a lot more straightforward thanks to the commonalities between them.

With one's complement it is easier to multiply by minus one: just invert all bits. It is also symmetrical around the zero, so sequences of random numbers will truly tend to average to zero.
My late father had great success in writing CEO's and receiving a direct reply. But I think times have changed because I've done it a few times and never had any luck.

There's a local automotive specialty repair chain in Michigan. My family has always done business with them. When they opened their first store which was in Detroit my grandfather took a picture of all the cars lined up. They were giving away two gallons of free gas which was apparently a pretty big deal in the nineteen twenties. My dad met the CEO at some business function and sent him a copy of the photo and they put copies in every one of their dozens of stores.

I've always had excellent service at our local branch. A good friend of mine asked for a recommendation so I sent him there. He received horrible service and a botched repair job which they refused to fix. I was embarrassed so I wrote the CEO. I mentioned my father so it would be clear to him who was writing. I didn't want anything for myself, I just wanted him to do right by my friend.

I never received a reply and moved my personal business to a competitor. I've also probably told two dozen people the story. The store changed managers and the new guy is driving business away. My letter should have tipped them off to problems but they ignored it.
Burroughs 5xxx and 6xxx machines used signed-magnitude.

Burroughs had a unique numeric representation. Numbers were 48 bits. Sign, sign of exponent, exponent, mantissa, with the binary point at the low end. Integers were thus valid floating point numbers. The math operations would maintain a value as an integer, with a zero exponent, if possible.

IEEE floating point also maintains integer values as integers until they don't fit, but the representation is not integer-like.

How would that work with: 1/ recursion; 2/ calling C code; 3/ being called from C?
And the other side of that coin is possibly even more annoying: plenty of obviously dumb comments rise to the top, presumably because a lot of people agree with the sentiments they express. I think two-axis voting (see my other comment in this thread) might fail to save subreddits that have already sunk into all-consuming tribalism, but it could help others to avoid that fate.
My mentor was very very adamant about Bayesian network and hierarchical as being deep learning.

He sees the latent layer in the hierarchical model as the hidden layer and the Bayesian just have a strict restrictions/assumptions to the network where as the deep learning is more dumb and less assuming. A few of my professor thinks that PGM, probability graphical model is a super set of deep learning/neural network.

This is where my thinking come from.

IIRC, a paper have shown that gradient descent seems to exhibit MCMCs (blog with paper link inside that led to this conclusion of mine: http://www.inference.vc/everything-that-works-works-because-...).

But I am not an expert in Neural Network nor know the topic well enough to say such a thing. Other than was deferring to opinions of some one that's better than myself. So I'll keep this in mind and hopefully one day have the time to do more research into this topic.

Thank you.
In the US, employment or separation agreements usually include language that requires former employees to cooperate in patent matters after they leave the company. (Of course, limited to your inventions made while you were an employee.) Typically, this includes signing formal documents.
I used streak.com a few years ago, which is a Gmail add-on.

Create a pipeline for job applications with relevant stages - applied, heard back, interviewing, offer/no-offer.

Each application is a box. Each box can contain emails, notes, phone calls, tasks etc.

The free version was more than enough for tracking my 100+ applications at the time.
This is so exciting to see - I'd love some more canned examples to show the complex edge cases this catches in Ruby.

Java virtual machine could have had better integration into OSs and browsers, but it's licensing model made it impossible. I worked with Applets on the browser and had a lot of potential, but probably it was too soon for them as computers where slower and Java was not so will optimized back then.

WebAssembly doesn't has this history and it can be used in ways that Java has been discarded for historical reasons.
I don't think having a good defense is in contradiction with pacifism. Unfortunately, "defense" in the U.S. is more orwellian term.

Anyhow, I was addressing the perception that you cannot have technological progress (or prowess) without significant military applications. Of course you can.
JP Morgan would have a nice quote for these things: "The Market Fluctuates".

I don't really think we can predict the stock market because the market fluctuates every day based on news and things like that.

...today. Life was simpler back in the day. For example, RNA world. This more primitive life might not survive more sophisticated life. (thougn it's also possible it's still around, but we haven't noticed it; or haven't recognized it as life).

IDK if small enough, but viruses are simpler.

If it can reproduce - e.g. a short strand of DNA or RNA or even something simpler - it could form the beginnings of "life" as a precursor, even though it wouldn't meet our current definitions of "alive".

There's theories of fatty spheres being the first "cells" (really, "kinda sorta cells").
> It was somewhat inevitable chain of events

The question that intrigues me is why Tcl/Tk didn't take off around 1995. We could have had internet apps about a decade before web apps were feasible.

The only answer I can think of is that no one in 1995 would have contemplated running a Tcl script that their computer had just downloaded from a random host, but Javascript boiled that frog gradually. I'd be keen to hear other ideas.

As with other industries, traditional gaming payment systems are usually slow, cumbersome, and expensive. They can also cause a maldistributed ecosystem of wealth as the middlemen and large vendors benefit the most from those inefficiencies.

With cryptocurrency payments, in-app purchases become frictionless as micropayments can transfer directly from players to the game developer. There’s no more need for a middleman in this transaction. The security and immutability of blockchain technology are enough to facilitate this type of trustless exchange.

The blockchain also brings value to game distribution. Instead of publishing to a centralized marketplace like the Apple App Store, game developers can reach consumers directly through a decentralized marketplace.

Pretty obvious reasons to me.

It would reveal the sources and methods they used to obtain it in the first place.
If I remember correctly, first versions of React were similar in that respect: you could just add a script tag to your page and you that’s it (save for the mount-point thing).
Running Redis would be pretty fun on this.
Exactly, so I'm puzzled why the OP said it missed that behaviour (and I suppose others miss that too as someone downvoted you ^__^;).

I'm not familiar with recent Windos but pressing the "Super" key on Gnome opens the "overview" screen (or what's called) with a big "Type to search..." text box that can be used to search files to open or programs to launch.

P.S. I prefer to use shortcuts to launch the common programs, using an extension that mimics Ubuntu Unity style Super + number_key, according to the order in the "Favorites".

Tesla's Rapid Software Update Is Great, but Hides More Fundamental Problems
Note that some of the pull quotes on that site don't specify .NET Core, and probably predate it (e.g. the Stack Overflow story dates back to 2014, and refers to Framework).

We know that .NET Core is generally liked by Microsoft developers (with good reason), but I have no idea what corporate adoption is like, and would love to see indicators that people are actually migrating production systems. The existance of Core makes Framework that bit more annoying to deal with, and it would be nice to see that things are moving.

What worries me is that customers that buy the Model 3 won’t know what to expect from their cars on any given day. Tesla’s internal processes seemed to be geared toward shipping early and shipping often, which is the Silicon Valley software approach. Despite the updates being great, the safety critical nature of systems like braking and driver assists means that the threshold for a minimum viable product must be much higher than it is at Facebook, Google or Snapchat.

When I see Tesla responding in this way, and continuing to struggle with achieving consistent performance with AutoPilot, it’s an indicator of lax internal controls for product reviews and releases. Tesla has done an admirable job of making over-the-air updates viable and improving the crashworthiness of its vehicles. Now it needs to do a better job of engineering and validating the fundamentals of basic systems like the brakes as well as all the various ancillary systems that still seem so inconsistent on the Model 3.
