On the JavaScript side I've enjoyed reading the code for Backbone and Underscore, helped also by the awesome in-line documentation. Very easy to see what is going on.

Also big fan of Sidekiq for similar reasons.

I would argue while Kubernetes is a great piece of software, and its definitely practical to go in with relatively little experience and tweak a single line or function, Kubernetes is not easy to grok or reproduce in its entirety for example it has its own implementation of generics and a custom type system [1].

> "Before a non-Google app is able to access your data, we show a permissions screen that clearly shows the types of data the app can access and how it can use that data," Ms Frey said.

This sounds like the OAuth-based permission screen that Google has used for years. If so, the article is very poorly written. It’s not that hundreds of apps can access someone’s email, it’s that any apps the user has explicitly granted fine-grained access to can access their email.

The permission screen is very clear. It says “view and manage email” if the app requests that: https://developers.google.com/apps-script/guides/services/au...

Google lets you target male/female demo's and, to my knowledge, always has. Literally every advertiser does this and always has. I am not sure why this article even exists.

With demographic targeting in Google Ads, you can reach a
specific set of potential customers who are likely to be
within a particular age range, gender, parental status,
or household income. For instance, if you run a fitness
studio exclusively for women, demographic targeting could
help you avoid showing your ads to men.

If your ssh key relies on RSA, then yes, you're relying on the difficulty of factoring numbers; which Shor's algorithm can perform efficiently. But only if the quantum computer has enough qubits. The needed number of qubits needed to factor is a multiple of the rsa key length. Unlike a regular computer, where you can finagle two computers with 2 gigs of memory to work like a single machine wiht 4 gigabytes of memory, so you can't just merge two 1024 qubit computers to get a 2048 qubit computer. And we're a long way off to having anything close to that.

The simplest solution is simply to increase the size of the key beyond that of the most advanced quantum computer (which is essentially today's approach ;) ). Also, you just need to exchange a symmetric key; Shor's algorithm is a special case, you don't get the exponential -> polynomial speedup[1] to encryption algorithms in general. So once you deliver the symmetric key in a secure way, using a quantum resistant algorithm, you can resume business as usual.

[1] Though in brute force searches, you can reduce the effective key length by 2. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grover%27s_algorithm
A science sharing mobile application just launched yesterday.
That is a false analogy. This is in the structure of a class not some paper or industry. There is a reason the teacher doesn't want you to straight up look at solutions, maybe to generate a sense of intuition yourself. A lot of CS courses also have a project component where you get to use whatever resources to make something new.
What is the intended effect of articles like this? Motivate people to work harder a la John Henry? Motivate people to learn technical skills despite the negative net job creation of automation? Would having a more widely educated workforce even help?

A small percentage of residents use any particular road, too, but that doesn't make roads useless. The way to get to a large percentage of residents using any road is by building roads literally everywhere that people are. If the subway went more places, then more people would use it, too.

Almost any specific route for any type of transit is going to be used by a small percentage of the overall population. That's pretty obviously true, because most people live somewhere else for any given route.
"That doesn't seem like a particularly big deal however (at least half of the problem is convincing people that they need to keep learning)."

Once you get older you quickly learn that constant learning doesn't necessarily help you that much on the job market. And most of us need a job with income for most of our life. Add the trend towards income inequality where most of society's economical progress goes to the top and I think people should be concerned about their future.

It's easy to imagine a future where a lot of work is automated but instead of making life better for everyone society is split up in a few "haves" and a lot of people who are viewed as "useless".
I don't think it is. Try N[((1+10^-n)^(10^n))/e, n] for smaller values of n. At first it approaches e faster than the precision can "catch up", and up until around n=50 it will result in 1. But at 10^60 and above it will return 1.0000000…

I was able to freeze my credit w/ TransUnion and Experian easily this morning. However with Equifax I got a vague error stating that they could not process my request. After taking a look at the equivalent thread on /r/personalfinance I think someone may have preemptively frozen my account with my data that was exposed as apart of the hack. I guess I need to contact Equifax by phone now. A bit frustrating but locking down 2/3 isn't bad for 15 minutes of work.

"My personal theory is that this free money until the end of 2019 has created a culture of passivity and laziness inside the Mozilla management."

What would Mozilla do that it's not doing? I don't see an obvious answer to the marketshare issue (except maybe marketing). It's not that there's nothing that could be done, but what that thing is is unclear.

I suppose it's true that in the face of financial insolvency management might go into a "do anything" mindset, but that's just a death spiral, it can lead to action but I don't think it helps guide correct action.
Yeah likewise I hadn’t done a many real interviews before this so I guess I have nothing really to compare it to. I ended up with entirely programming questions rather than generic brain teasers, so maybe there’s a bit of a mixture of questions asked.
The Chrome UI is why I switched back to Safari. I love the clean, native UI and how it sync with iOS. Too bad the dev tools are not as good as Chrome.
"When a job disappears due to automation, it’s bad for the person losing their job, but it seems to be good for everybody else.

Is it really better for everybody? Whole regions can get devastated that way. And with the trend towards income inequality only a few actually benefit.
The only ones that get close are the ones on the ground. With the exception of Congo (French speaking), nearly every major city has an English language newspaper online. Yes, they are heavily biased, but the headlines give one at least some degree of information about what is going on. Twitter is also a goldmine for getting a view of Africa, grisly as that can be (municipalities will livestream corporal punishment at times). I tend to use: http://www.congoindependant.com/ , https://dailytimes.ng/category/news/ , https://dailynews.co.tz/tags/local.aspx , https://twitter.com/chismaiocity?lang=en (example, some NSFL content there recently, fyi) , and https://www.aljazeera.com/ (better than BBC at least) .

To our knowledge, it cannot. It would be extremely surprising if it could.

But it only reduces the effective key length by 2. Which, although amazing, has a fairly straightforward response. Double your key length beyond what was previously viewed as 'intractable'.
I started when I was 32. Get a big board to start with. Know that it's probably 95% paddling and 5% actual surfing. The advice to bodyboard or even body surf with fins is a good one. I'm teaching my son to body surf/body board first, then move to surfboards when he's old enough. It looks much easier than it is but if you stick to it, it is very rewarding. Go every chance you get even if the waves look bad so you can get used to paddling and being in the water. When you start going more and you're around others read up on the 'rules of the road' and etiquette. Most of all have fun.

No, they aren't.

When someone describes something as a movement I think various actors making conscious choices towards a prescribed point or condition or state of being, whereas the natural evolution I speak of is more of an change that comes from various actors resulting in that state of being or condition-a result that occurs organically in a marketplace or industry.

I suppose at surface level they would be seen as one in the same but unpacked there may be critical distinctions.

I'm willing to concede this may be splitting hairs but I hope that answers your question. Thanks for showing up to ask!
All I do is pee in my suit, just flush it!
In reading your description, I see significant parallels with my experience...I had never noticed the "rules" perspective. That helped shed some light on things, so thanks for that.

It is apt that you mention the military. I have heard from a few sources that the military is a really effective at teaching people to BS, but mainly due to long periods of sitting around waiting with little to do except goof off or shoot the breeze.

I've gone back at least ten times. The story element took that long to piece together between repeat visits and online discussion. Also, they've managed to pull some exceptional music performances that normally would have never come here, which has made it worth going repeatedly.
I think you're missing the point of what arrogance is. Arrogance is not the same as being right and saying so. Arrogance is thinking you're right (whether you are or not is irrelevant), and saying so in a way that demeans others.

Most people don't take offense just because you're smarter than them. But almost everybody takes offense if you behave as if you're better than them, just because you're smarter.

Again, being humble doesn't mean having a bad opinion of yourself, it means having a high opinion of others. It has nothing to do with not saying what you believe to be right just to avoid a confrontation. It has everything to do with respecting the other person and showing them that you do; it means listening to and engaging with them instead of steamrollering them with your "right" solution.

(Who knows, your "right" solution may still profit from their input... Regardless, at the end of the day, you are not only more likely to have a better solution, you will have also have invested into good relationships - and that is worth a lot more.)
Right this could be used to snare other things like, say, satellites. Or maybe pop a net in the way of missiles.

Very useful technology, even if it's only ever used to clean up garbage.

2) The YC Library is an example of channel I created. There will be more of those. I will curate all the posts until we have more traction
3) I am thinking of making channels subscription based. This would motivtate qualified people to build strong channels with good ratings.

Mafia actually does protect your business from thieves, and from government tax collection. Just like government, mafia wants to be the only one with a monopoly on using violence to collect money.

And I'm well aware that a vanishing government simply means another government or gang will take over. I'm not advocating anarchy or some utopian ideology.

Understanding what government is and does, does not mean one wants to abolish it.

However, thinking that government exists to serve the people is foolish and naive. Making a fairer government demands an understanding of how it actually operates, that way you do no cede vague and arbitrary power to government under the assumption "they will only use it for good"

Unlike nuclear weapons, a quantum computer is only dangerous if people don't know you have one.

There are a number of ways of dealing with the security issues posed by quantum computers; most of them involve simply increasing the key length of your encryption keys.

However, if people don't think you have a quantum computer, or you're able to make it better faster than expected, they won't change their behavior and so you have a fixed target.
You mean average skill has increased?
I agree. The issue, to me, seems like there isn't a particularly good relation between supply and demand for skills. Stuff like financial literacy is maybe something separate but is also obviously necessary (not just in terms of personal finance, but understanding business).

I would be hesitant to frame it in terms of something that already exists however. In terms of function, the outcome should be skills that are applicable to business so vocational. But it needs to be more distinct. For example, more vocational education should have significantly greater links to business than already exists (not research but training).

"The A for availability in CAP means that ALL database servers are fully available"

Is this true? I always thought it meant that clients could continue to read and write to "the database" which could include the client switching to another node. There is nothing in CAP theorem about latency, so switching, even if it adds high latency, is fine by CAP theorem.

This lack of accounting for latency is what makes CAP theorem less useful than a lot of people realize IMO.

or could be a case of promoting planning for the "eventually, yes" to happen whether that is early retirement planning, career change, or anything else.

I mean, I do pay into retirement and the like, but quite frankly, I personally approach my job as this career path will always be there for me if I so choose so I'd be in some degree of danger if my belief is proven wrong later in life.
Ah, the normality hypothesis. It seems like it should be true, but apparently this is something that's really hard to prove.
Suppose, for the sake of argument, that "coming for your jobs " is completely overblown and no different than automation throughout the previous decades.

Isn't there a separate shadow issue of lack of diversity in the market? I mean, we can't all be app developers, web designers, and project managers.

Sure, you say, there will always be non-tech jobs. Ok, like lawyers? That will be decimated by strong AI-as-a-service eDisocvery and legal analysis bots that replace paralegals and associates. So now the firm is a partner or two, and a $14/hr runner who drives to court and files motions.

Doctors? Ok they read their FDA-certified AI and make sure it's sane and send you to the ePharmacy where biometric auth and videos replace the pharmacist.

The cleaning staff at both offices are replaced by smart-bots that auto mop and empty trash. So each building has a security/facilities person.

Restaurants? Most have kiosks and a chef-bot. Just a hostess and manager to make sure the fryer doesn't burn the building down. Uber has long been automated.

So again, what's left? Government jobs most likely. And going back to my original supposition, let's ignore how people make their money. Can we all be "data scientists" using AI to analyze customer behavior at restaurant kiosks to apply predictive suggestions for their dessert? Can we all write websites for the small businesses (that don't exist because they can't afford the AI services that BigCorp has)? What happens when Google computes every last datapoint about us? Facebook has reached complete saturation and there's no new info to sell to advertisers. How would our economy function if there's basically one industry left? You can't compute analytics about yourself or sell website services to website service people.
