You've overlooked the race, income, etc. factors, which still matter more than most people would like to admit.

Consider a "radical" idea. Who doesn't get to vote if they don't have an ID card?
It isn’t a question of if they’ll launch a __________ so much as it’s a question of how many they will launch - and for how long.

Interesting. Only one of those four have proper elections. That is, three can't have their elections hacked.
1B (one billion), not 18
A scientific approach is to pose a theory (this candidate would make a good hire) and perform a measurement (whoa, this guy's good) and then perhaps perform the measurement again, without bias, to see if the measurement is consistent and reproducible.

What you're suggesting is to spend the next several hours performing additional measurements in the hopes of finding one contrary to your first measurement. That is precisely the opposite of science. It's also how casinos stay in business.
>people going through a dictionary trying to guess the password, rather than a cyberattack by a nation-state.

Russia allows its cyber-criminals free-reign when it comes to the rest of the world, as long as they're not interfering with official interests. Consider the difference in Letters of Marque vs the Admiralty in British history.
It's 1 billion.
(I've had 15 interviewers once from 4 separate teams in one interview -- that fucking sucked).

I'm pretty tolerant of bureaucratic stuff but that might taint my view of the company a bit.

Wouldn't it be a good estimator to include ANY connections coming outside of Utah?

I hope that whoever is attempting to hack the Utah voting system has no nefarious purpose greater than changing "Mitt" to "Mittens.

Helmut Kohl has killed the fiber to the home project[1] of his predecessor Helmut Schmidt in 1985!

I follow up with rejected candidates from time to time with a phone call. Often I'll follow up with a phone call and talk about the areas I think they could improve in and recommendations about how they could do that. They seem to really appreciate it.

I'll close the call asking what they think about our interview process. They are mostly very happy with it and disappointed they didn't make the cut.

I've unfortunately never had much constructive criticism about my interview process from a rejected candidate. The only criticism has been the rare few times someone thinks they are qualified and kind of lashes out because they didn't make the cut. "Well I didn't want to work for your company anyway" type of thing. Not much valuable info to go on.

The valuable criticisms I have had are from colleagues over the years who have been in interviews with me participating themselves. Some of what I've improved over the years has been related to those criticisms.

How about yourself? Do you ever follow up with rejected candidates about your own interview process? What techniques do you use to measure your hiring effectiveness and what steps are you taking to improve your process?
No one's talking about infinite problems except you.

Unemployment is a prety bloody obvious problem that might occur if automation increases.

We also have historical data of jobs that have disappeared with various levels of success in retraining. This time there's legitimate and serious doubts that the employees affected by automation will be able to retrain at all, because several low-skill type of jobs that were retraining possibilities are also targeted by automation.
Let's agree to disagree. But if we allow driverless cars on the road (with no backup), it should come after emergency braking, lane keeping assist, side collision assist etc have become mandatory. Just like airbags are mandatory now, and we enforce fuel efficiency on new cars but not existing cars.

"America is one of I believe only 2 countries that demand tax on income from its citizens who live and earn abroad"

When I pay taxes to a foreign country, I generally get a tax credit on my US taxes. Complaints like yours tend to lead me to infer you think you're entitled to lower than US tax rates in some tax shelter locale, but you are implying (for sympathy) the issue is being taxed higher than a typical citizen of the EU or US.
It's not a security professional saying this though. It's a politician.

You can never be 100%, you're right. You can be aware of common attack vectors and address them though. You can be aware of what resources are most vital to protect or are common targets in your industry and focus your efforts.

Most people actually in security will tell you the same.
Great idea, but the source of the website is in opposition to it: it's completely unreadable one-liner.
I'd say minimalism is characterized by trying to remove as much non-content as possible, while this philosophy is more about everything serving a purpose. A minimalist might want to get rid of ads because they are not content, while this kind of brutalism prescribes designing the ad in a way that doesn't detract from the content.
Performance wise it's not slower than languages like Python. For some people (not me) macros simplify their development by a lot. The learning curve is honestly pretty shallow; in my experience Lisp is hard for people who haven't really nailed down recursions, and in this respect it's also a great learning tool. Being simple to implement is a big plus as it allows you to focus on the crucial parts -- IMO people learn better when they get to learn one thing at a time and having a small core to your language is important.
First off because they are generating that revenue by exploiting my community. Secondly because them rolling out broken updates generates work for me as a moderator; we'll need to update everything to work for a completely new system. It's going to be a lot of work, and they are changing shit all the time.

I don't want to spend my time to support their exploitative and slimy tactics.
That was one the clearest guideline description I've ever readen in my life.

Obviously I'm not surprise this was written by an Engineer , it's very clear about what to do and what not.

Usually trainings and guidelines made from Designer are useless to developer , they talk about emotion , colors , moods etc... Which is key for marketing and UX but does not help a developer improve it's skill in UI .

I’ve had no problems with Typescript in that regard (in fact the typechecking and linting is astonishingly fast) but I’m using Sublime integration. From what I understand though, VSCode has very thorough Typescript support, given its Microsoft pedigree and all.
Hmm no there is a request to graph.facebook.com so I don't think that assessment is accurate.

What do you mean double taxed? If you get a tax credit for foreign taxes, it's rather disingenuous to claim to be double taxed, although you could argue it's true in the sense you file for multiple jurisdictions.
Great to see Jeroen is still at it. I used to live across the street from him and it was always fascinating to see what he was up to. Hanging out at his place was the closest thing to what I imagine Silicon Valley must have been like during the heydays of hardware hacking. Probably why he moved to Shenzhen. His writeups at https://spritesmods.com are also good reads. I see he has also done a miniature Mac Plus:

> Voter ID cards are historically used to make it harder to vote

Is that the case in the numerous other countries that require voter ID? I find it funny how we always use “but every other country does it!” when talking about things the US should adopt (e.g., the metric system, socialized healthcare), but that’s apparently not a good reason when talking about voter ID. Even countries with far poorer populations than our own seem to think being able to provide proof of who you are at the time of voting is a good idea, why can’t we?
Replace voter ID cards with mail-in ballots and no in-person voting on a particular day.
We desperately need this and similar ecologically-sound programming philosophies in high places right now.

Just considering news--Moby Dick is 1.2mb uncompressed in plain-text. That's lower than the "average" news website by quite a bit--I just loaded the New York Times front page. It was 6.6mb. that's more than 5 copies of Moby Dick, solely for a gateway to the actual content that I want. A secondary reload was only 5mb.

I then opened a random article. The article itself was about 1,400 words long, but the page was 5.9mb. That's about 4kb per word without including the gateway (which is required if you're not using social media). Including the gateway, that's about 8kb per word, which is actually about the size of the actual content of the article itself.

So all told, to read just one article from the New York Times, I had to download the equivalent of ten copies of Moby Dick. That's about 4,600 pages. That's approaching the entirety of George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire, without appendices.

So all told, if I check the NY Times just 4 times a day and read three articles each time, I'm downloading 100mb worth of stuff (83 Moby-Dicks) to read 72kb worth of plaintext.

Even ignoring first-principles ecological conservatism, that's just insanely inefficient and wasteful, regardless of how inexpensive bandwidth and computing power are in the west.
Due to inflation is not possible to live on 1 USD per day anymore as the cost of food alone is higher than this.

Even in the poorest countries labour costs are at a minimium of 1 USD an hour.
It doesn't have to be.
If online voting ever becomes widespread, there is a reasonable chance there will be more votes and referendums.
Interesting — thanks for the link! I really hope they aren’t too late to get non-nullable by default into the language as well... seems like it would influence a lot of the language design ...

I personally found typescript almost impossible to use until turning on the non-nullable by default option and no implicit any (and really started liking it after). I see dart had “no implicit dynamic” — is that widely used in dart? I would turn that on with a quickness ...

Reliable constraints were really important for me to figure out how to use the the optional typing model of typescript to my benefit. Maybe Dart’s programming model is simpler since it doesn’t maintain JavaScript compatibility... but my suspicion is that features like implicit-dynamic and nullable types will just make it harder to learn how to interpret compiler errors and harder to learn how to write good code in the language...
All of this stuff is going to question ethics. People who do mental health care on truly sick people (people that want to hurt other people) understand very clearly how many factors need to align to produce such a person. That changes our definitions of autonomy, that changes belief.

These are things that are core to people who don't understand computation, and they are core to ego - what makes the lives we live better than the lives we compare ourselves to? That's the lion inside of us, that doesn't give a shit who gets ripped to shreds (or simply can't afford to think about it). I know I am a good person because I have hurt less than all the others. But that's not true. I tell myself this, but is this a thing I can prove?

There are profound arguments to be made about why a machine can do a better calculation than a human does. It has access to more information. If people can't believe that, that's their own ego.

Create a job called computer science lawyer, make sure the judge understands computer science, explain the computation to a jury in a way that explains how the algorithm was designed, align that with present understanding of psychology. Checks and balances.
Many politicians have figured out that large detailed platforms are full of things that are easy for their opponents to attack, in or out of context. Vague feel good (even if only to your base) declarations are much more difficult to refute. In the 1990s, the Republicans had a field day with the Clinton crime proposal including the infamous "Midnight Basketball" portion. Be vague, fill in the details once the election is over.
I'm guessing you're objecting to my questioning of the pomodoro technique, based on your mention of flow state.

To me, it's pretty obvious that there's no one-size-fits-all approach to productivity. There's plenty of techniques that are better than the average person's natural approaches, which is where the pomodoro technique excels. What it's not is a way for those who are already high performers to eke out the sixth sigma.

But I'm not defending a thesis here, feel free to believe whatever you want.
I suppose that would be things that you willingly decided to engage with. Someone identifying as an “engineer” or a “problem solver” or a “musician” or a “good listener” or a “conservative”. Those make sense to me as forms of identity; sex and sexuality far less so.
Wow, that's amazingly small. Perfect for my child who's obsessed with miniature things (e.g. the Japanese miniature cooking videos)
It does seem like it is absent from Beta 3. In Beta 1, I had added it to Control Center but at some point in time since then (Beta 2/3) it was removed, it seems. Not exactly a promising sign.

Edit: it seems that the feature only appears when AirPods are in proximity. Seeing it in Beta 3 now that I’ve gone home and am close to the AirPods.
I worked for an exchange and it was not blocked there. I worked for a car automation company and it wasn't blocked there either. My following two jobs were at multinational banks. In the first one, it was blocked. In the second, I took a "social media responsibility" training and I was added to the exclusion list and I could access Facebook, Reddit, Twitter etc. Now I work for a small finance company and the network is wide open.
In Norway we just have different voter cards for each party in the election. So you go into the voting booth, select your party's card and fold it. Then verify you are you with the election officials and put your folded card in the ballot box.
The OP is reading Spivak and Dedekind and makes no mention of machine learning. He's interested in the deep mathematics.
Every link on that page just took me back to their same website. Is this some kind of SEO antipattern? It makes it really difficult tracking down the actual parts.

What advice, practical or philosophical, would you offer?
I love his videos on Computerphile! Incredible source of hardcore computing knowledge.
>The idea of a more interactive web is not "cancer".

I specifically refer to the design trend that spun off from the greater concept. In 9 out of 10 webdev projects, and how it is understood by "business dudes" web 2.0 is only a some kind of design trend, no more. And a kind with 20 animation scripts per page.
I've read all that stuff before and none of it addresses the fundamental problems at issue here. We are realistically still decades of intense R&D work away from having an autonomous AI that can respond with enough flexibility to rapidly changing real world situations.
Yes, I use The Forest for that reason
> The hysteria around double or fraudulent voting is crazy.

And yet numerous other countries think it’s a worthwhile endeavor. You could probably get away without ever locking your front door, but why would you when the added security is so easy to implement? Even Mexico has cracked this nut, I think we could too.
I'm sure that would be frustrating to have a beautiful sight tricking your visual system but not smelling, feeling the wind, be able to touch etc
Great advice! Have found GitHub issues are a great way to take notes on coding projects. Can the setup Milestones for stuff your currently working on and further iterations!
If it was an accident, then why does the CDDL even exist? What does it offer that MIT/BSD don't have, other than being incompatible with GPL?
I hate brutalism in architecture. You can have usability without losing warmth. That said, I love minimalism on the web (and not just because I’m a programmer and not a designer). I love plain html sites, and I think spending all your design time on typography can yield a really zen and snappy website. Unfortunately, what the web really lacks is uniformity across sites, which can be confusing to users. I’d much prefer everyone use semantics tags and let the user decide on the styling, or use a browser default. CSS shouldn’t even be a thing.
flask + postgres + keras - it’s rather easy to train models based of arxiv research papers. eg i trained a model using this method (https://arxiv.org/abs/1601.01987) and trade fairly frequently on minuscule amounts using the kraken (cryptocurrency exchange) api.
> I've found that a standardized interview with asking the same questions to each candidate helps me better see the differences between candidates

Oh, I start with a standard list of topics, and of course technical questions need to be consistent across interviews to be any use. But beyond that I like to let the interview flow naturally - if the candidate seems particular passionate about one thing or another, follow up on that, and see where it goes. It's a conversation, not some form to be filled out. If you're going to do that, may as well just email them the actual form.

Maybe the author isn't as strict as I understood but I really do believe that it's in that conversation that you get to know someone's personality, what they're passionate about, how they might fit culturally and how their experience and talents might complement the team. You don't get that from a survey.
People use Redux or any other state management solutions for the same reason they use frameworks and libraries in the first place – all the tough design decisions have been made for them, they just have to follow the rules. Of course you can do with React's internal state alone, but do get it right for complex apps it takes some prior experience and knowledge.

Could you elaborate a bit on what those decorators you mentioned are?
> and then perhaps perform the measurement again

Not perhaps. Definitely measure again.

And that's exactly what I said. Don't trust your initial impression. Measure again. Get as many data points as you can.

> What you're suggesting is to spend the next several hours

I didn't suggest that and I'm not sure where you got that idea from. My interviews are usually less than an hour and then I hand the candidate over to the next interviewer. If they are a strong no from me, I'll even talk to the next interviewer to explain why and see if they even want to continue with the candidate. They usually don't want to continue with a "strong no" candidate, but sometimes the next interviewer might not share my concerns and they do want to continue with the candidate. Could be the person is a good fit for the other interviewer's team.

I guess you’re applying for jobs in the US? If so, they can’t sponsor you... it is that simple. Applications for a working visa in tech were sent on April 1st this year. Because of a limited number of visa allocated every year, candidates got selected via a lottery mechanism. So this year, US tech companies can’t hire you. It’s not about your skills, CV, etc. No more visa available for 2018. They have to go with local candidates only until next year.

You’ll become eligible early next year. Make sure to apply a few months prior to April 1st. That’s how you’ll increase your odds.
Some say that journalists pick photos that support their message. (Have you ever seen a favourable photo of Trump in an opponent paper or vice versa?)
I thought your claim was that the harms to black families aren't just the sum of the different averages of their economic environments. That second paragraph was saying that the two are correlated. Am I misunderstanding?

The claim that racial differences are incidentally correlated (whether true coincidence or particulars of history) with economic environments is not a good argument that we should tackle inequalities in those issues at the racial level. Surely the latter only holds if you can point to causal effects.
You’re right, I think I was conflating concepts here. My bad. I would edit if I could.

Q&A with Microsoft Chief Speech Scientist Xuedong Huang
Are you building a website? The practices espoused by the author will be ideal.

Are you building a web app? Will you have a mobile client alongside your web app? Using a javascript framework for your client(s) and decoupling your data from it's presentation will be a fruitful investment. All of these frameworks and their associated happened for reasons, and they didn't involve traditional MVC being good enough for everything.

As an aside, I find this viewpoint prevalent in the Rails community and the Rails job I had (so, caveat, I'm coloured by my personal experience). It also lead to a culture of staunch refusal to learn or do anything new in that job, and the quality of the product suffered. It consequently led to me leaving the job, and being much happier for it.
Don’t take it personally. It doesn’t mean all Americans are that way.

What an empty answer. What would you have done if you were born before (or after) money?

The amount of work to be done at any time is pretty constant--money only transfers the responsibility to someone else. With that in mind, you want to make enough money to make other people do all of your work for you? Seems like passing the buck.
This argument could be made for any license that’s similar to another, I don’t think it’s fair reasoning. Why does 2-Clause BSD exist? Why does Apache license exist?
