What a coincidence, I'm currently reading a book called "Piercing the Reich" [0] about the OSS's missions into Germany itself during WWII. It has a really interesting and detailed description of the process by which clothing was collected from refugees coming into New York, as mentioned in this article.

The OSS officers collecting Old World clothing gave refugees new clothes in exchange and did a full debrief about what had been going on in that person's hometown. They also used the opportunity to screen for potential OSS agents. One very interesting aspect of this was that they were especially keen to find trade unionists / socialists, because this was the most logistically organized anti-Nazi faction under the Reich, and the OSS wanted to send people who had access to and credibility within a broad underground network.

The account of the perfection of forgery techniques in this book is also worth a read. Highly recommended.

Sort of. At least you can mask signals. I agree that threads are probably better overall, but I don't think it's a huge difference.
The problem is ATT never claimed that sms for auth is secure. People just assumed that and started doing it.
As a cybersec consultant with experience working with many security organizations, I wholeheartedly disagree. There is a lot more to security than things that have to do with software engineering. In my experience, the companies with the worst security are ones that primarily employ current or former software engineers as leaders of their security teams with a misguided mentality that security is just a subset of software engineering. Because of that mentality, they tend to focus on a very small portion of security principles.
Mitra - your check out flow is a bit confusing (not sure if it's a standard Shopify template or whether it's something you customized).

Two things that annoyed me:
1. In the beginning of the flow, you show logos of PayPal and Google Pay (I'm on Android), but I didn't get a chance to pick them later in the flow.
2. I was asked for my address twice (once by your flow and then again after the Amazon Payments redirect). Why didn't it preserve my address between the redirects?

Looking forward to receiving the items I ordered.
I agree with you. But I'm not suggesting that people develop business based on the location of YCombinator. YCombinator accepts applicants from all over the world who want to focus on specific issues that their home markets exhibit. Just the other day someone was promoting FinTech for South America.

In my OP I said it would be work. It would be more of a challenge for Mainland Chinese applicants to launch their businesses while not being in the Mainland, but if that was their biggest problem then they're prepped for success!
It's also the most absurdly verbose shell that exists, which means it sucks as a shell even if it's a half-decent scripting language.
> And, with 6 months to a year, as dominant as "Watson" was against the Jeopardy champs.

Was Watson dominant because it had a buzzer advantage, or because it could answer the questions better? I recall the other two guys furiously trying to hit the button on different occasions and sighing when Watson beat them out yet again. Thing is we don't know that Watson was better at answering the questions, only that it was better in the Jeopardy game play the way things were setup.
Which incompatibility do you mean? If you're forking to create a child process, usually you're just careful not to do anything that might acquire a lock (including allocating memory) in between the fork and the exec, and then I think you're good?

Forking for something else, though, god help you.
This assumes that your talent pool is only local. If Chinese (i.e. 大陆) parents would be willing to send their kids all over the world for a university education, do you think it would be a big deal that a Shanghai team moved to Taiwan?
You should do both, the MS and the internship. Many cybersec practitioners that I have known are particularly poor at communicating their expertise to others.

That's pretty much me and movies today. I have the once or twice a year IMAX in the theatre but otherwise just watch at home.

OTOH, there are definitely demographics for whom going to the theatre is a low-friction activity.
Plenty of customers probably don't mind, but the moment they will mind is when they want to see a movie that is sold out at one of their common theaters and go to another theater not in the same chain.

With AMC Stubs A+, you buy the ticket in advance from the app (something you couldn’t do with movie pass). You would know if a movie is sold out. Some of the AMCs have reserved seating where you can choose your seat in advance from the app. That lets us get in after the commercials and trailers and still be guaranteed a good seat.

They’re buying those $1.2m houses somehow; making 1/3rd the median price is a pretty tame explanation.
As EMTs we are trained to provide the best possible care for all of our patients unless very obvious signs of death are present - brain death is not something we really consider because that's something the hospital determines. Obvious signs of death include dependent lividity (blood settling to the lowest point in the body) and decapitation, among other things. EMTs are not qualified to make such judgements in the field (outside of a mass casualty incident and triaging) and opt to be "better safe than sorry" and let someone with an MD after their name and malpractice insurance worry about making the final call. I expect the signs and symptoms of someone with brain death would be indistinguishable from any other apneic unconscious patient without a pupillary response, but some of those can be saved, so we transport them all.

At the hospital, protocols for determining brain death vary depending on the institution, but we have more advanced tools than just EEG now. I see a lot of radiological investigations that measure cerebral metabolism with scintigraphy - here's an example of what that looks like with a poor outcome (I am not a radiologist by any means, and I explored this outside of being an EMT) [1]. Notice how the brainstem is dark but the rest of the brain isn't doing much. Other investigations such as some MRI sequences may prove useful to identify ischemic insults and damage that strongly correlate with poor outcomes. Based on the phrasing of your question, I would point out that these tests would only be performed on a patient where brain death were clinically suspected based on e.g. prolonged cerebral hypoxia from a drug overdose... not every dying patient.

I don't know enough about the medicolegal or surgical side of things to go into more detail there.

My son just finished UIUC CS 125 (the programming intro class for non-majors) and he'd be fine with all the material I see in 6035. That's I guess how I'd sum it up.
I too sometimes experience this inability to get stuff done at work because of distractions. I realized that there's a lot of anxiety that I'm experiencing when in this mode (probably from knowing that I'm not doing work because of distractions). When this happens, I try to get away from my work area for a few minutes and relax by closing my eyes and breathing slowly. I then feel much better. The key is to remain aware of when you are being distracted and/or feeling anxious. Once I've placed my attention on myself and say to myself, "I am being distracted now", I start to feel more focused.
Same for me, but the Alamo is 30 mins away from home. When I'm not feeling like driving that much I just go to a Cinemark.
I am not sure what you mean by "experiments do not have results." A measurement in Everett is the environment becoming entangled with the measured system, and a "result" is a particular basis of the combined wavefunction.
The "already a programmer" thing is quite a misconception here. Security has many topics and domains that have nearly no crossover with being a programmer. It's possible that many people entering this degree program have no past (or future) experience writing code.

Anecdotally, at my (one of the largest in the world) security consulting firms that hires from similar degree programs, a very small minority of people have any experience as a programmer, and a similarly small minority of our work involves writing/reading any code.
Just so the CloudFront logs and monitoring are complete. It won't affect the hosting cost as far as I know, I just use billing alerts on the overall account to keep track of that.

Only two times in my life have I been brought to weep because of how spicy something was, and both times, it was the F'ing Cajuns. I have no idea what they did, but oh my god.

They showed up one time at an Octoberfest (!!!) with their damned salsa. Do you have any idea how hard it is to get something that will cut heat at a German festival? I had to eat a cream puff the size of my head to stop the pain.

And yes, every time, my nose runs like a sieve. I feel your pain.
Another exciting development in moving beyond UTF-16: Microsoft is experimenting with adding a native UTF-8 string in .NET next to the existing UTF-16 string:

Only suggestion in my opinion that matters : the food has to really taste great. Instant foods taste like hell generally. So this has to be significantly better.

Specially with Indian food, most Indians cook from scratch and the food only tastes good if cooked fresh with raw items/whole spices.
Sure, that's a good point.

But as I said, there is reasonable motivation to try to help the people genuinely. At least let them have better internet services; not the shitty ones from BAT...
I couldn't read past the first few paragraphs, just killed me. Does the story have a happy ending?
Fact 1: Google only pulled search business out of China. adsense/adwords/maps works fine in China

Fact 2: Search engines are more and more irrelevant these days. All interesting new content are either from Weibo or Wechat (or other closed garden)

Fact 3: all reports about "Google returning to China" are based solely on the "Intercept report"[1] as source. I suggest everyone take a look at it. I think there's a huge misunderstanding. Maybe it's in-app search for some domain business only instead of web-wide search?

Fact 4: Firewalls in China has a hierarchical layers of blocking. Some times the plain text http is effected, sometimes it's the DNS, sometimes it's the tis certs, most of the time it's heuristics (e.g. SVM model to classify traffic) and random. There are also collateral blocking, like a blocking a CDN. You can't guess exactly which one piece of information was the culprit. And it all varies in places and time. All "blocking" are based on empirical assumptions, no one have ever done a large scale, down to the packet level study of it. Administrative notices of taking down articles are blurry as hell. Sometimes there's even corporates faking govn't orders to remove some review as PR move. So it's very hard to suggest if an "article" should be blocked or not. The chinese govn't utilize this method to force everyone to "self-censorship" and some business are making a profit of it.

You don't pay the full cost up front, and there is a substantial dropout rate + it typically takes at least 3 years to finish OMSCS. So the real number is probably a fair bit below $68M right now.
UTF-16 has a bit of a funky design (using four byte/two code unit surrogate pairs to encode code points outside the basic multilingual plane) that ultimately restricts Unicode (if compatibility is to be maintained with UTF-16, at least) to 17 planes, or 2^20 code points (about 1 million).

UTF-8 uses a variable length encoding that allows for more characters-- if restricted to four bytes, it allows for 2^21 total code points; it's designed to eventually allow for 2^31 code points, which works out to about 2 billion code points that can be expressed.

(Granted, this is all hypothetical-- Unicode isn't even close to filling all of the space that UTF-16 allows; there aren't enough known writing systems yet to be encoded to fill all of the remaining Unicode planes (3-13 of 17 are all still unassigned). But UTF-16's still nonstandard (most of the world's standardized on UTF-8) and kind of ugly, so the sooner it goes away, the better.)

Early adopters to moviepass were mostly movie fanatics that went to the theaters more than average.

They could only ever make money if they convinced the people that hardly every go to the theaters to sign up en masse, but even at $10/month they couldn't get enough of that demographic before their cash ran out.

It's not an entirely dissimilar premise as Netflix. If all of Netflix's users started streaming as much as the top quartile do, they'd probably be in a bind as well with the huge increases in bandwidth and server costs.
Good call, it looks like that is exactly what happened [0]. I wonder what drove that change?

In many countries you do not have a choice; it is mandatory. And in those countries, at least in peacetime, it is usually seen as neither glamorous nor desirable. Somewhere between a painless but a wasted year and a miserable time you must mobilize to endure to avoid corrupting your brain.

Hottest thing I've ever tasted was undiluted The Man sauce from Dixie's BBQ [1]. Years ago when I interned at Microsoft, they had the interns try the sauce, since we were all from out of town. Whoever had the most would get tickets for the Seahawks game the next evening.

I figured I'd like it, because at the time I was super into hot foods. At least, I was by my own benighted standards. But my adviser told me to take the smallest amount I could, on a toothpick. I said fine, and boy were they right. It didn't feel hot. It felt like I was cutting my tongue with a knife. It only started feeling hot as an inferno after it had spread out through my mouth.

One of the other guys took a spoonful and put it on a bun and ate it in one bite. Then he proceeded to guzzle several cups of milk, before retiring later to the WC. He won the tickets, but apparently was unable to go because he was still feeling digestively sensitive the next day.

These days I don't really fuck around with super hot food any more.

Even better would be not losing her face to begin with.

This was preventable.

Am I the only one to notice the events that led up to this?

1. Young girl moves multiple times due to her parent’s jobs, causing for stress and anxiety.

2. Girl finds stability and passion when she is granted an encouraging educational experience/environment at a private school where her parents both found contract jobs.

3. Parents both lost their contract jobs on the same day.

4. As a result of her parents losing their jobs, she could no longer go the school, because her parents could not afford it.

5. Her boyfriend who went to that school cheated on her.

6. She shot herself in the face.

Getting cheated on in high school happens. It’s a painful experience but it’s generally a pretty good time for it to happen, because (ideally) you’re in a secure place where you can experience pain without existential loss.

Moving is rough, but not nearly as rough as having your family morph between social classes. This sort of thing is just evil for a child. Either up or down is just awful. Neither you or your peers have any context for what is happening. You’re entirely misunderstood and feel out of place. I will not have kids unless I can be reasonably certain they won’t have to experience this. In her case, her family was never even in the social class she acclimated to. This is one seriously dirty trick, especially for a child. Obviously her family was doing everything they could for her. This was just out of their control.

To face those complex realities that define your entire world and have it thrown in your face by your boyfriend cheating on you with someone else, both of whom presumably had the security of surplus income supporting their education and social life, is really bad. But we forget how much worse this is for a child.

Children in high school are smart. They understand a lot of stuff, even the difference between rich and poor. But they should only be expected to be able to make sense of so much at a time. The whole idea of this stage is to develop a stable self-identity in an environment encouraging of education and confidence. She lost both in the blink of an eye.

And she had to face the reality that going to another school like the one where she had found passion and nourishment was all just short of not happening.

This is just one of the reasons these games we play with education funding and classism are sick. This girl did not have to be in her situation.

We love to talk about how competition motivates innovation, but it also motivates economic rollercoasters. Maybe adults can handle that, but children simply can’t. This is one disgusting way to live and kids all over America are riding this rollercoaster while their parents do everything in their mighty will to give them a stable healthy existence.

But we’ve created an America where an honest living means a shitty school and an existence no more stable than a contract job. Nobody thinks about what this does to the kids. All they see is innovation.
The RAF had escape pattern flying boots[0] from from mid-war. Looked like a normal shoe with sheepskin lined legging attached. You cut the top off with the included penknife to leave a normal looking shoe[1]. The leftover bits were designed to reassemble as a waistcoat if you needed to sleep rough.

Wouldn't be surprised if USAF had similar or maybe he was issued an RAF pair for having difficult feet. :)

Recent Advances in Physical Reservoir Computing: A Review
I have learned that when I have intense periods of work in our field, like, for a month straight, I have a noticeable carryover effect.

What I mean is, if I work for a month or several months doing 10-12 hour+ days coding, etc. and then I stop to take a few days off, it literally takes several (1-3) days to disengage my mind from "work mode" to "vacation" or "life" mode for lack of better terms.

I'm also finding that this is getting worse as I age. It feels like it takes longer to unwind from the adrenaline fueled state, but I'm usually much better off after I do.

Yeah, not healthy. I'm trying hard not to work the long constant hours with few breaks- but I had some bad employment situations that didn't offer any alternative for a while.
I'm sure it was a highly traumatic experience for her, but she survived it and can live a mostly normal life now. I can't see how you can say that it'd be better for her to die.

> For one, the information content of the multiverse expands exponentially towards infinity.

I don't agree. I would say that the biggest difference-- really, the fundamental difference-- between Everett and Copenhagen is that Everett says that the state evolution of the wave function is always unitary, while Copenhagen says that it's only unitary sometimes but not others (and don't ask about how to calculate which way it will act).

Under unitary state evolution the volume of phase space is preserved and no information is globally created or destroyed. So the "branching" picture of Everett is not precisely correct, though it is handy language for building intuition.

This should not be surprising because of complementary observables-- confining the state of one property will cause some other property to become proportionally unconfined, per Heisenberg.
