There may have been some missteps there, but for the most part I think Obama's problem was he was too timid to seriously hold anyone's feet to the fire and too anxious to restore the status quo ante.
>It may have even been the right one.

Absolutely, I just think it's a shame that there aren't alternatives available. Normally I'd assume that interest rates are that high because that's what is required to remain profitable while lending to the market, but I can't help wonder if consolidation and wall street ownership means there's a large profit margin and some gouging happening.

Yeah, but literally anyone can sign the contract. If I move out tomorrow and one of these checks lands in the new tenant's mailbox with my name on it there's nothing stopping that tenant from cashing the check by attempting to forge my signature. It's fraud, but now it's my problem because the idiots at the company put my name on the check.

This kind of despicable practice should be illegal.
The author unfortunately undermines his own article by starting out with:

"I have overvalued reasoning in myself and others and undervalued pride, fear and the need to belong."

If you start out with the idea that you are the reasonable one and all you need to do is soothe the fears of your opponents, you aren't going to teach (or learn) anything.

But I like the general approach of interrupting narratives. It's the opposite of what the media does, and it makes people stop and think, or at least recognize there is greater complexity to an issue.

I don't agree EV should be the bar for "entering credentials". I currently don't consider it a requirement that I only "enter credentials" in HTTPS sites either, insofar as "credentials" is a very wide term. (I find the fact that simple password boxes on low security sites now pester me with a dropdown warning on Firefox. I know they're HTTP sites, but I don't care.)

As an example I do not care about: My HN account. I would not care if it was intercepted and "hacked", because the damage it can do to me personally is minimal. It would probably annoy the mods somewhat, but the handful of spam posts would get cleaned up, I'd have to reach out to the mods to get unbanned, and life would move on. I don't really care that HN has a cert at all, I certainly don't think HN needs an EV cert, I have no real concern about either my password being intercepted, or me being phished into believing a fake site is HN.

If we move DV certificates to be the bare minimum a site is expected to have, then EV should be a bar for important credentials. Aka, your Gmail account, your Bank of America account, etc. You know, Fortune 500 level companies which could afford, I don't know, a $5,000 or more annual investment. The higher cost would also justify higher requirements to get one. At that sort of cost, they could literally fly someone out to your office to check you out directly.

Whereas people have mistakenly corroborated the lock icon with "legitimate websites", an EV cert should ideally be the sort of thing household name companies have, which someone trustworthy has directly ensured is actually the keepers of that certificate.

I don't think placing the burden on my grandma to have a U2F security key is reasonable, but we should have a process so that google.com is clearly marked as being owned by Google, LLC, and that it is, in fact, the real google.com.

Hey, I’m Gosha.

I see how programming is just connecting business objectives with reality, not a craft unto itself. Languages are all the same to me. (I also wrote toy languages and primitive type systems.)

I’ve been doing a lot of mobile and front-end work past couple of years, but I know my way around back-ends, architecture, deployment too. Most of my experience comes from consulting. You can see my some of past works & references here: http://goshakkk.name/works/

I also keep a blog about React Native & React (http://goshakkk.name) and have self-published a book about forms in React (http://goshakkk.name/the-missing-forms-handbook-of-react/).

Note: my handle has nothing to do with the kkk.

I think if you finish reading that part to the end it seems much more reasonable. Cutting him off seems unfair. To wit:

> Perhaps we should accept that on moral grounds: we’ve been rich enough for long enough to be able to share some of the proceeds of prosperity with our brothers and sisters. I think I know what the answer would be. The answer would be OK, fine, but get rid of the trunk. Because if we are experiencing a relative decline why shouldn’t the rich – why shouldn’t the one per cent – be slightly worse off in the same way that we are slightly worse off?

Deluge is really bad with more torrents. After 1000 it's basically unusable. Most people who do long-term seeding use multiple instances of Transmission or rTorrent. There are some manager tools to help with that, these usually also do the balancing.

Hi! I'm Ganzorig (Kenzo). I'm front-end javascript developer searching for a job with challenging projects and fun team.
Do you mind expanding? I don't know R, but on looking at several examples, I don't see it at all.
That's why there is a whole article linked to the headline.

As for "clickbait", you'd have been to live under a rock to be confused as to what Berners-Lee might be devastated about.

> For the man who set all this in motion, the mushroom cloud was unfolding before his very eyes. “I was devastated,” Berners-Lee told me that morning in Washington, blocks from the White House. For a brief moment, as he recalled his reaction to the Web’s recent abuses, Berners-Lee quieted; he was virtually sorrowful. “Actually, physically—my mind and body were in a different state.” Then he went on to recount, at a staccato pace, and in elliptical passages, the pain in watching his creation so distorted.

How would you sum this up neatly?
Nokia sure makes a lot of sense. There's nothing left but the infrastructure biz, and they need a working 5G base system to succeed. If they blow the rollout, they're toast.
I decided to get out of development and go for more of an Ops role - officially I started as DevOps, but have slowly moved into the company's SysAdmin role, which I enjoy much, much more than writing code, and there is plenty for me to do. Basically, I took a step back and asked myself what I would enjoy doing. Where I am, I got carte blanche to build the systems as I wanted (new company, startup) so I've got the opportunity to build things I've often thought would be possible.

Granted, such jobs are few and far between, and for the most part jobs do involve a lot of pre-existing code and infrastructure. But maybe you could find a job bringing the legacy architecture into the 21st century rather than just keeping it ticking along?
I don't want to get too much into the weeds, but there is a whole subset in Information Retrieval which relates to IR system evaluation, or search engine result evaluation. One simple way of doing it is simply labeling the accuracy of each result via human curator as either a 0 or a 1.

But it can get really complicated, for example, sometimes there just aren't relevant documents in the index in the first place ... so, you can't really blame your ranking factors too much. The opposite can happen too, where a word occurs too frequently in which case you might resort to other kinds of ranking factors (most notably pagerank).

In our case, we're focused on broadening our state/country level coverage right now for keywords (more listings), then we're going to focus on making sure our location accuracy is a lot better (it needs work). Overtime, you should get the results you're expecting more often :)

Comcast has a mobile service?
It's possibly(?) tangential to the discussion, but I would say that if he does not "highly rate the welfare of his workers" then, he is by definition not good at managing people.
More a question of practicality, no?

Programmers are creative, compilers are well-tuned machines. Sometimes it's tough to beat a compiler's code, but I'm not sure that 'impossible' is meaningful.

Monkeys with typewriters could function as a highly parallel superoptimiser, after all.
80% and 20%. How is this question useful?
But a low gpa isn’t inherently meaningful at all. What do you mean “make up for” a low gpa when you shouldn’t be hiring around gpa in the first place? Like it’s not some debt to be paid; it just means they attended class sometime in the past. Just discount it entirely. What’s the worst that could happen?
>Bayesian methods force you to actually think about how your data and model parameters are distributed, and explicitly specify a model.

Yep. I know some very senior scientists who get a lot of mileage out of finding places where "model-free" methods are implicitly assuming a bloody stupid model, and then attacking them.

Basically, someone who has worn a lot of hats in 18 years. :)
Adulting is not evil; it is a consequence of discharging your responsibility and functioning as a human being. Kids will be kids, that has nothing to do with responsibility. I could ask my child to go to work - he'll be completely inept at it. He would be, truly and genuinely, childish.

I view my kid as a roommate - one I have responsibility for. As they become capable, they obtain agency and will be asked to deliver on that agency, within the limits of their capacity. Sometime around 16, I will expect them to execute the full tasks of an adult, barring rent. In turn, I will operate as a counselor and guide at that point, giving them a cushion when their attempts fail; the cushion will be mostly removed when are 18.

Childhood in the WEIRD view is a recent innovation, dreamt up by the middle & upper middle class in the 1800s, much like teenagers in the 1900s.

These ideas of what constitutes normative behavior for specific ages are contingent on our cultural matrix and are not hardcoded.
