I mean, there's some causality there; when the active investors try to take their money out as cash all at once, it does tend to have negative effects on the market. but... I think that, generally speaking, the goal of your active investors is to buy during the downturn, and sell into the upturn.

Buy low, sell high; not the other way around.

I mean, that's the goal. Of course, it doesn't always work out that way, but you don't plan on selling at the bottom and buying as it recovers.

>5. APIs are forever

Microsoft does a lot of work in that direction too, there are workarounds and fallbacks to older API behavior everywhere around the place.

I think this is also compatible with Linus' mantra; "Don't break userspace". (Obviously there is a limit, Linus did elaborate on those limits recently).

I really don't like it when APIs stop working. There are plenty of ways to get people off the old API without disrupting them or annoying anyone, as you mention, an option is to simply stop advertising the old version and maybe make it more expensive (or less accessible) to new customers.

Having a stable API that I can bet a product for 10 years (or more) on is something that developers (and users) like and should be a huge plus when deciding between product offerings from companies.

The ability to add people is problematic - once you have unverified additions, you can't trust whether even real biometrics were used for it, so it wouldn't even necessarily show up as a duplicate.

People take bags onboard to avoid fees, yes, but mostly because airlines lose hold luggage (or send it to the wrong place) and even if they don't you have to go and wait for it at the carousel.

The last flight I took, there were too many people taking onbord luggage and mine got taken off me and put in the hold :(
For example, the contributors to Qt have varied over time, but in past years major contributors have included Digia, KDAB and Blackberry. The first two did so mostly to sell consulting services, and Blackberry did so because it was a major part of their OS.

That said, Qt is a bit of a special case. It has a unique history and The Qt Company has an agreement with KDE that there will be ongoing open source releases. https://www.kde.org/community/whatiskde/kdefreeqtfoundation....

I think you described the trade-off between permissive and copyleft licenses well, but the argument that you shouldn't default to copyleft is weak.

If you care about developers, you should use permissive license, if you care about end users, you should use copyleft license. The final decision is completely determined as who you see yourself more as a maintaner - developer of the software or end user of the software. The choice depends on the nature of software, and if you expect that you will be paid on either developing it or at least using it in another paid project.

Unfortunately, there is no middle road. The middle road will just mean more free loaders.
I thought airlines or airports were required to check your identity to endure that the checked in luggages fly along the passenger who checked them in, in case there is a bomb or something. Granted this rule is a bit absurd in a world where most terrorist attacks are suicide attacks.

That's sort of true, but it's an over-simplification. People with capital and conviction can still short heavily. What it does is dampen the emotional swings of retail investors. So, for the market as a whole, volatility should go down as indexing becomes more popular.
Yeah -- this is precisely why this idea of the privatization of mental health is so important, at least in my mind.
They also clearly explain why decentralization doesn't work for large rooms:

> Supporting large group channels (we have seen 1000 people taking turns speaking) requires client-server networking architecture because peer-to-peer networking becomes prohibitively expensive as the number of participants increases.

It's unfortunate, but it's just the truth. The reason we aren't seeing decentralized solutions to the problem that Discord solves is technical. It's not because people don't want it or aren't trying. I just doesn't perform well enough.
Have you heard of the Serverless Framework? It solves some of those problems, including handling dev/staging/production environments.

I do think you raise some great points however.

I've tried it. It's... promising but very strange. A session between two people in the same Australian town was bounced via a server in the US. We had screen sharing via Discord at the same time which was far more responsive (but 720p, ugh).

The current implementation uses temp files everywhere and an odd way of driving Visual Studio. I'm really keen to see where this goes in the future.

>> “It doesn’t matter,” Maryland resident Kim Meekins said of not being informed ahead of time. “You go to different airports and they do different things depending on their technology.

It's not easy (not any easier) to shoplift because there are random checks. People are much less inclined to put something extra in the bag if they know they can be checked. The ones that do shoplift are not using the bags with a lot of other groceries to do it, they likely hide items in their clothing. In such a mode, it doesn't make any difference how and whether they check out any actual paid items.

Biometric collection is always for specific purpose. General purpose, compulsory biometric ids exist only in Malaysia IIRC.
Do You think Times group, India Today and others will report this? They don't have backbone to do that. Maybe You should read the article first, before commenting.
I live in Spain and they take your fingerprint when they make your ID card. I'm pretty sure that goes into a database, so they have the fingerprints of all citizens.
It’s not like there aren’t CCTVs in airports. They have your face on many records that they keep much longer.

I am not sure what you mean, it's not like we cast integers to pointers by hand is it? The compiler does the casting. And sure, there is usually no support from the compiler when you are programming any device other than the CPU but these devices need to be programmed. For you to read this message somebody had to program the display device and for you to even be able to access this web site somebody had to program a whole bunch of things starting from your NIC, going through various routers and to the different NIC on the HN's server. No compiler had been able to do this so far.
Effectively, more like 10 years.

Getting paperwork together took a while, medical bills arrive at odd times, often delay of six months. About 60 days for the actual bankruptcy to go through (the “Discharge Date”).

Then another 60 days as the bankruptcy is recorded on the credit record.

It says here that public records will be automatically dropped from my credit file after the appropriate interval. No action required. That would be 12 months from now. I wonder if that will actually happen.

Note that bankruptcy shows on a credit report, so if you are applying for a job, or trying to rent a flat, you are going to be asked about it. And so on.

I strongly advise against having a medical crisis. Stay normal as long as possible.

Good luck.

I started an actuarial science degree too and this is exactly my experience. But I then ditched it and took a different path. It was quite a risk at the time (not an actuary joke, oh my god just no).

I was 18 and dumb and knew I was good at mathematics and that it was a good career. But it was actually quite dull and, like you say, very robotic. So I was able to switch degrees to pure math and then computer science and then crypto. I’m glad I did. It’s more interesting, challenging, and despite it never being my goal, more well-paid anyways.

Basically it just strikes me as a very safe, stable, dull job. Also what kind of 18 year old was I to want this?!
With potentially substantial engineering effort, including needing to hire someone with a relatively rare expertise, they could [1] eliminate that specific downside of virtualization.

However, there are remaining overhead/downsides, and virtualization may be a solution looking for a problem in their environment.

[1] Also, presumably, dependent on specific NIC hardware, but I expect they're already using something compatible. It's merely another constraint.
Time and Time again Aadhar's privacy data have been compromised and Yet, Officials have strongly denied all those claims - only possible because still people believe all the false claims by those officials and government in terms of Aadhar. Even to the level that a guy once wrote a scraper (opensourced on github) that can fetch Aadhar info online.

It's no doubt that Aadhar was a blatant copy of bringing an SSN-type ID in India but failed terribly as the Government was more interested using Aadhar to show their domination rather than put it for actual purpose. Eg: Govt made Aadhar mandatory for Tax filing, India's Top Supreme Court denied. The same thing happened in many instances.

This is a nice lesson, why simply coping a solution from the US can't be made to work in a developing nation because the system and officials are so fragile that they need to be first fixed than the solution itself!

Other examples: Is the BBC commerical? It's technically a public service broadcaster, owned and "controlled" (ish) by a government. But it has managers and offices and directors (and sorta) CEO, and HR departments and employees and will sell products, and it buys many things, and competes in the same space as many commerical TV stations and producers.

Is the US Department of Defence commerical? No. The US Army? No. What about Deutsche Bahn, the German train company?

Imagine a tiny worker owned co-operative, it's 10 local indiginous farmers who are barely self suffecient, but they made a co-op selling their products. It's a democratic organisation, controlled by it's members. That is definitly commerical.

Looking at the list from [0], all the orbits involved are indeed high-inclination, but not that polar (inclinations from ~70 up to ~110). You prompted my interest though, I'll look for detailed points of the collision later on.

I don't think people are really worried about GEO-height collisions, but there's already lots of stuff flying in LEO, with much more to come in the near future.

Well, with universal and mandatory healthcare you wouldn't be bankrupted by your illness since the insurance covers it. The population at large pays for the few that need the expensive treatments.

The better paid your job, the more unique it is, almost by definition: limited supply means the price of labour is higher. Well paid jobs aren't very fungible.

Even within a single company, people with the same title don't do the same work. And working smarter - aligned with the company goals - still pays much more than longer hours.
>> The scan takes fractions of a second and has shown to be 99 percent accurate during testing

>> Presumably it's 99% effective at matching random faces to the photos

I think what they mean is that they carried out laboratory tests where a test subject stood facing the system's camera and the system tried to match their face to a database of pictures of peoples' faces, then decided whether the subject's face matched one in its database.

There is a lot that one can do to make this kind of testing give much better results than it should (e.g. use a small database, rather than the entire US passport photo database plus photos of visiting foreigners). This does not presuppose malice- a bit of sloppiness or choices dictated by budget restriction are plenty enough to "spike" the results.

On the other hand, even assuming 100% accurate evaluation one can expect a machine vision system's accuracy to fall way down when it's deployed in the real world, where conditions can no longer be as strictly controlled as in the lab.

So as a rule of thumb, we can probably assume that a 99% accuracy in the lab translates to ~75% accuracy in the wild.
Kindly understand this article seems to come out of investigative journalism where the author seemed to have gotten hold of the patch presumably by paying 2500 and then did in-person research to create the article. Once published, other newsrooms usually do their own pieces if they find it relevant. Since this article has just been published (only 2 hours ago at the time of writing this comment), I wouldn't refute the article just on the basis of this criteria. I would usually wait for 1-2 days before using the above criterion to evaluate the article.

I do the same as parent comment.

I had previously automated it; from simple timers, to every X seconds of inactivity; and in my experience with it, the automation took away time when some editor/compiler stops your flow (errors out/fatally because you haven't completed your current typing), or more importantly, that setup started either colliding with the key press save muscle memory (leading to some frustration when the editor just paused slightly for analysis twice) or slowly removing that muscle memory when working with other editors/setup that didn't have the feature enabled.

I've since turned back (ages ago) and prefer this mental trigger to save and check for compilation/analysis at a pause in the flow.

I really feel that works best, I'm sure the automatic save will work for others...

If you actually launch without, somehow, anyone knowing about you and having "conversations" with you beforehand, then it depends on the direction in which you launch. If you launch prograde, it'll most likely be shot down by Russian interceptors. If you launch retrograde, it'll most likely be shot down by American interceptors.
It depends on the airport.

Certainly when a borading pass, matched to a passenger who checked in luggage, is not used for boarding the luggage will be unloaded.

Identity check really depends on the airport and airline. Sometimes your identity is checked when you enter the secure area, sometimes at the gate and sometimes not all.

Even at airports that don't check identities airlines - notably budget airlines - may check id at the gate.

It may also happen that id is (spot) checked upon exiting the plane, but this is very rare.

That's only applicable for flights within the Schengen area. Passport checks upon leaving or entering the Schengen area are pretty strict. Essentially every piece of id is checked towards the SIS[1]. But within Schengen and depending on the airport there may be no checks at all.

Why does it matter if it's Equifax or some other company? Employers are still handing over the data.

I take issue with much of the language used when discussing the Equifax breach. It wasn't a breach that Equifax lost my data. It was a breach that Equifax had my data.

Regardless, I don't see replacing one scumbag company for a different scumbag company as really fixing anything. Also this article is nothing more than a PR piece for Truework. Shame on the NYT for publishing such drivel and calling it journalism.

In my experience BBC asks permission to use anything. I have an open source game (GPL), and they asked me for permission to use a footage of their own gameplay. So, even if this would fall into "fair use", they still asked.

You've actually reworded what I have already said. Since there is no official statement from UIDAI or multiple private news sources reporting the same incidence; this article/blog is not worth believing yet.
The article suggests to increase developer productivity by focusing on the core part of your business, outsource stuff that doesn't make you unique, and hire technical leaders. Quite different from your claim that managers just want to make developers work longer.

Well if we needed one more datapoint on why government shouldn’t get involved in computer security then here we have it. Politicians don’t get technology - they believe they can order any design they can imagine and that it’ll just work.

Secondly, I’ve worked with hundreds of Indian IT engineers. I’ve yet to meet one who didnt subscribe to the view that ‘the solution to all problems can be coded in software’ - maybe it’s just how they are educated at uni.

However, put them next to politicians and you get a real recipe for disaster.

So what next? Those who claimed they could make this system secure should pay a HEAVY price. There really isn’t a humane punishment strong enough - I’d go as far as firing them; stripping them of any retirement benefits and banning them from any paid position in the public sector.
I did similar synth reverse-engineering of DS-10 synth from Korg for Nintendo DS, so not much desoldering involved :-) The goal was to get it running as a VST plugin, but ARM emulation wasn't fast enough, so I wrote a static-JIT decompiler and decompiled the synth portion of the code into C instructions (see "c-code.h").

The result is here: https://github.com/thement/ds10-vst

My friend once interviewed for a low level position at a well known startup company. He passed HR, took and passed competency tests, passed interview by future coworkers. Last interview was with manager of the team who happened to be a young woman who was a brilliant coder.

He didn't get it. He was sure that her expression changed negatively very slightly once she saw him on the video conference. My friend is quite sure it was due to either ageism or subtle racism. He is not white.

He's moved on but it confirmed to him fair is not a word he believes in anymore.
