ROTC (military scholarship[1]) pays tuition as you go, so there's no debt incurred. If the military allowed[2], you could study underwater tiddlywinks without any concern for unpayable loans.

You're analogy works for academic programs that lead to careers that pay reasonably well. But, not for underwater tiddlywinks - no amount of time spent in that field will allow you to pay down the debt.

1 - They pay for four years, plus some expenses. Generally, if you drop out of the ROTC program after the start of year two, you owe Uncle Sam whatever has been paid on your behalf. If you finish the program, you are committed to 4+ years of service (differs by branch and job role, with some allowing the commitment to be split between active duty and reserve).

2 - ROTC programs prioritize technical degrees and foreign languages over other degrees.
>>You can get into NYU from a poor socio-economic background, if you work hard and attain academic excellence.

Very true. Unfortunately many times the schools where a kid from a lower socio-economic background will attend will not prepare them for a school like NYU. In fact, sometimes it will probably be a net negative.

Not necessarily the school itself, but the whole environment. Other students will be so disruptive to an entire class or school that they will drag down their piers down with them. And by this I'm talking about gangs, drugs, bullying. And if it is not their piers it may be their family themselves who will drag down the kids (alcoholism, drug addiction, domestic violence).

And it is not like you can just say they should know better, because at that age they don't really know any better. Kids from crappy neighborhoods don't even start in the home base, many times they are not even allowed to play.
Exactly. You can always debate specific security practices. But there's definitely a tradeoff between resistance to social engineering and related attacks on the one hand and convenience on the other hand.

You give one example. It also applies when people lose the password for an account, no longer have access to their original or backup email, etc. The most secure thing to do is probably to tell the customer "tough." But that won't go over very well so account recovery practices get put in place that are probably susceptible to social engineering attacks.
Good for them. Having been on the receiving end of patent trolls seven times, it's a challenging situation. It's easy to settle, and risky to fight.

>1 pretty much any user interaction paradigm is possible

Is it possible to implement an interaction bound to a global hotkey (e.g. middle click) that takes the current selected text (in any window) and send it to the event target window as keypress events? Without special support from either program? [xselection pasting]

Can I monitor and/or intercept (block) input events of any program without special (voluntary) support from the monitored program? Can I send arbitrary synthetic input events? [hotkey macros]

Features that require opt-in support from the application don't count (it needs to work on proprietary programs and programs that use any toolkit (not just GTK/Qt).

I rely on these features, so I will be sticking with X11 if Wayland isn't compatible.

Since the crash mostly affected the US (see all the Europeans wondering what the crash was), that Nintendo reviewed games only for the US/Europe is appropriate.

Also I'm not sure you read my whole comment -- anyway they wanted to shovel out crap themselves, refers to Atari shipping lots of crap games.

I don't think Nintendo released that many crap games to the US, and they also didn't realease too many, 17 at launch in 1985, 10 in 1986, 9 in 1987, and then fewer per year after that. Atari released 22 games in 1982, in addition to the flood of third party titles that were released that year.

What's the point? CEO positions should be chosen by random lottery? The company either offered a large enough chunk of money to attract the most talented / experienced individual they could, or Doug negotiated strongly enough to convince them that hiring him to CEO would be worth paying him that much.

A good next step would be to make it easier to buy the injectors. In California, if you’re not a medical professional, you need a first aid and CPR course to buy one. This is for a device whose commercials consist of six year olds explaining how to use it, and one that can be life-saving if someone has an allergic attack in the backcountry (where lots of previously unknown attacks happen, because of unusual foods/insects).
Yeah - I agree, I think we're working with hardware that has biological rewards training us to do things we may not want to over a long time horizon. Separating architect/implementation allows you to plan free of the pull of the immediate reward. Accepting failure as part of the process and recognizing that it's not impossible to succeed seems like a big piece of getting the mindset right.

We can overcome these issues, but it's not an easy thing to do.

> I don't see how Google can afford not to do this.

They're not doing it right now and seem to be affording it just fine: at their most recent earnings call, revenue was up 23% YoY to hit $110 billion annually, EPS was up 32%, and share price was up about 25%. There's no excuse for this other than the capitalist dictum that more income must be pursued at any cost.

Baidu is not a global competitor to Google, at all. Their English-language results are a joke; not even close to being as good as Bing's, never mind Google's.

I appreciate your mentioning overthewire and claiming that you'd hire someone on the basis of their ability to make it through these challenges.

I do wish more CTFs kept their challenges online after the competition: good ones and these wargames form what are essentially the problem sets for a top-tier exploit engineering program.

I cut my teeth on these wargames, as well as pwnable.kr/tw and, of course, microcorruption. While working through some of these challenges and finally popping a shell was definitely satisfying, I'm not sure I'll feel "elite" until perhaps I take home master of pwn at cansecwest.
> So it seems like you are saying, tax the rich and do something to benefit the lower economic classes. What specific policies to you support that would benefit the lower economic classes?

The simplest one would be to reduce taxes which disproportionately impact those classes; moving the trust fund contributions currently made out of the employer share of payroll taxes to be drawn from general revenue would be one example.

Even though it's technically a business tax cut, is directly on a cost of employing people, making employing workers at any given wage cheaper for the employer, so that more of the employer cost goes to the employee.
Word to this. It's amazing how much something small like spending an extra $1 on something you use all the time can do to improve the perception of quality and care. I felt so much better about my working-environment once I got rid of cheap tools I didn't like to use and upgraded to things that cost 10% more but are 100% more enjoyable to use.
This was "solved" by a online crypto tool (can't remember which) that basically did HPKP suicide every 30 minutes and had a service worker that loaded cached assets on failure. So the browser would pin to a key that was deleted within minutes and then all subsequent requests would only go through the service worker until the pin expired.

Semi-related. I have a male friend go into respiratory therapy. One of 4 men in his class out of 60 overall classmates. All else being equal, the men had advantages in placement at desirable hospitals to do hands-on learning because the staff there wanted to attract gender diversity onto their team.

I ran into something similar when I applied for an editorial assistant at some entertainment blog in 2009 or so. This was based in San Francisco. The entire staff was women. I was told by some that they were eager to get a different perspective on the team. I did not get that job, but I felt like I was given some preference based on being a guy.
None of these apps are the rhythm method. That being said, they are also not the time-proven methods approved of by 'religious organizations'. That is their danger. The church dedicates a lot of time to educating couples in actually proven methods. Both the sympto-thermal method and the various mucus only methods (billings and creighton) have been demonstrated effective by large studies. Studies on the sympto-thermal method report a 99.4% efficacy rate, and similar for billings and creighton.

source: https://academic.oup.com/humrep/article/22/5/131/2914315

The religious organizations you mention (like the couple to couple league, the largest provider of fertility awareness education in the united states) have never taught the rhythm method. The rhythm method was used before the 1950s, but we've had significantly better methods since then. In fact, the Billings method has -- in the pas at least -- been endorsed by the government of china as a way to enforce the one-child policy.

The main failure from these apps is lack of education. Most people using them have never had a formal education in them, despite such things being available. My wife and I are glad at having taken an actual course, rather than learning from an app or book. Our experience has been perfectly acceptable

I don't trust prosecutorial discretion to protect me from overly broad laws.
I have a pet theory than the reason people procrastinate, is because they don't concretely identify their future selves, as being the "same person" as their present self. Rather, they view their future self as an abstract person, more akin to a friend, than self. This level of relatedness varies with time as well. People identify very strongly with their future self from tomorrow, perhaps akin to their best friend. But they identify their future self from years/decades later, more akin to a distant cousin.

From this perspective, procrastination becomes analogous to selfishness. A very "altruistic" person would prioritize their future self to the same extent that they would prioritize their present desires. Perhaps even more so. Whereas a more "self centered" person sees their future self as a stranger whose desires are inconsequential to their present selves.

What would be really interesting to consider, is the correlation between "future altruism" and traditional altruism. One can imagine these two being completely uncorrelated, the same way a racist person can be completely uncaring towards other races whilst still being altruistic within their own race. But if there is indeed a stronger correlation, that would be a very interesting finding.

I think this 31337 school thing is also USA-specific and not as important in the rest of the world.

When I interned at Deloitte (here in the Netherlands), there were a lot of employees from two particular IT security studies. There was teasing and slight rivalry back and forth of course, but it definitely wasn't that one camp got paid more or was hired more easily than the other.

In fact, if you were to ask, most people would tell you that any vaguely relevant master's would do (and get paid similarly) since the company has to teach you the specifics anyway. Now I've noticed that's not entirely true, they will definitely frown upon a network engineering graduate applying for a security job, but you'll still get the job if you can convey your interest in the field.

I'll preface this with: I am in no way affiliated with O'Reilly. I would suggest this book for a deeper look into Go's concurrency http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920046189.do While Go does have channels to allow concurrent communication, it also allows the use of mutexes for concurrency similar to c/c++. And on the flip side, there's things like libmill in C that will give you Go-like concurrency. It is also worthwhile looking at how Go's memory model works (it's similar to tcmalloc). Additionally, looking at the implementation of channels maybe interesting for you. It consists of a buffer that gets memcopy'd with mutexes for synchronization, granted, that's a very simplified view of it.
Tips for Product Managers on Their First _____
I thought it was a fantastic and quite challenging program from a curriculum standpoint. From a logistical standpoint organizing group project work across time zones was difficult at times. Not being able to ask the professor follow-ups in real time is a bit of a bummer, but they were all very responsive via email. Best of all is being able to kick back with a beverage in comfy clothes to watch the lectures in the comfort of your home. Worst part was the prices. I double checked and it cost me exactly $55,080 in total. So at $10k this is an absolute steal. I just wish they'd refund me the difference now.
Does this use the same autoinjector as the EpiPen? Because as I understand it generic epinephrine autoinjectors already exist, but they use a different autoinjector technology that isn't as easy to use as an EpiPen.

There's no such thing as unblockable.
In my original comment I referred to the need to only allow access to necessary services. No forums, email gateways, IRC, etc. Just whitelisted domains and IPs:ports (if dedicated hosting) of the services required to handle the payments aspect of a business. An attacker would have to break into the sites I whitelisted— in which case the liability falls on the site for not maintaining adequate security. It doesn’t alleviate the need for the merchant to have good security themselves.

Not the poster, but I did it recreationally and got the benefits the poster is talking about. I've done it since then, each time benefiting, but nothing has really been as noticable as the first two times, the second probably being a couple of months after the first. I was quite shocked at the difference myself - this was a bit before I started seeing research results on MDMA.

And I'd like to clarify: Basically cured. I mean, I'm still a cynical person many times, but I don't have the constant worry (save for once a month, monthly hormones suck). I'm much more positive about life for the most part.
