Netflix has created some of the best TV shows I have watched in the past few years.

Strangers things, Maniac, The End of the F*ing World, Narcos, On my block, Master of none, El Chapo, Ozark, Glow, Disenchanted, Black mirror, Dare Devil, 13 reasons why, Jessica Jones, The Punisher, A series of unfortunate events, The OA, Orange is the new black

Those are just some of the ones I can recall at the moment.

Only other shows that I use popcorn time to watch are Game of thrones and Homeland.

How did spoofing work vis-a-vis those with 1-800 inbound lines? I was under the (mis?)impression that those users were protected against spoofing because they were (are?) billed by inbound call duration.

Automated checking tools don't really care about human-friendly user functions' names. They will however check for calls to dangerous APIs (eg: XMLHttpRequest(url), eval(stuff) ) and some dangerous patterns (eg: background actions unprompted by the user ).
> Both games offer such a deep complexity that graphics is secondary, especially to the type of player interested in it.

Separate to my other comment, I should acknowledge that this seems overwhelmingly true. Dwarf Fortress is famous, but I've learned recently that there are also thriving communities for Cataclysm DDA, Dominions, Aurora, every imaginable Nethack derivative, and half a dozen other equally-opaque games.

As long as the genre or mechanics are new, there seems to be a (limited, but) perpetual apatite for ludicrously deep games with minimal player handholding.

Quarks are charged, and thus interact with photons. If reacting with photons is not what you meant by "Given that you'll never see a lone quark", but instead you mean something like, for example, `a single one can be formed as a first order byproduct of a physical interaction`, there is no coherent definition of matter that I am aware of where atoms are the smallest unit, but photons or electrons are not.

This should be tempered with the (surely unquantifiable) negatives that come with continued employment at places that value credentials in this way.

Tartans are always a great example of how computer science and algorithms got their start: fabrics. From the Jenner Loom on up, there has been a long relationship with textiles.

Some fun and semi-related tartan sites:

A Tartan warp sequence generator: http://www.weddslist.com/cgi-bin/tartans/pg.pl?source=sts#re...

The above site is pretty neat! They have a GIANT list of recognized tartans, with the warp sequences. In addition, you can input your own warp sequence. Though I can't find evidence of the warp sequence being used as a messaging platform, it's not hard to envision. Take some message, convert it to hexadecimal (or some other method), put it in the weft, and viola! A 'secret' message:

Not without breaking functionality to something like 85% of the installed base of PBX and phone switch equipment, most of which is anywhere from 10 to 45 years old.

Card skimming has become so rampant where I live that I don't ever put a bank or credit card in a gas pump.

I got a gas company card (non-Visa/MC) with a super-low limit, and when I need to buy gas I make a payment online with my phone, then pump away knowing if it got skimmed, the perps would probably throw the info out because it's not usable anywhere else, and even if they used it at the gas station, they'd only get $10.

The local sheriff was on TV last year telling everyone to only pay cash for gas — never put a credit or debit card in a gas pump card reader.

I am a senior product analyst who works more or less as a junior product manager. I tend to think of myself as a product person who can be the bridge between technology and business. My industry experience is travel technology and big data. I am responsible for defining the product strategy, roadmap, and key metrics for my product team; and I spend most of my time working on market/user research and communicating the what and why to different stakeholders internally. I'm looking to grow more as a corporate strategy manager or product manager, but I'm open to other ideas.
I've used various game streaming services and have found parsec[0] to be the best in this domain. Their service prioritizes latency above all else and it performs well though there's alot of artifacts. It runs on top of amazon services so server placement is a non issue.

I think you're being down-voted because the comment is kind of advertise-y (maybe that'll be different in an hour).

Since it is your company, do you have any insight into potential challenges that the average reader wouldn't consider? I understand that a benefit to "game streaming" is that a game originally not networked (like splitscreen only) can be played by multiple people over a streamed connection.

FlowCommand | Data Scientist, Backend Engineer | San Francisco | Onsite | https://angel.co/flowcommand/jobs

We build sensors that track the behavior of high throughput fluid systems. Our goal is to help the oil and gas industry, water municipalities, and anyone dealing with fluid optimize allocations while reducing spills and theft. Our sensor is a self-contained unit attached to a pipe which sends ultrasonic data directly to our server via cellular/satellite; we then use a mix of physics equations, signal processing, and anomaly detection to determine the behavior of fluid (volume and speed).

We are a small software team based in San Francisco with offices in Houston and Mexico City. You’ll work on models to improve the performance of our 100+ sensors deployed around the world. You’ll also leverage our remotely controllable flow-loop test facility in Houston to generate training data from our sensors. Join us if you want to be a leader at a rapidly growing company that’s using innovative technology to solve hard problems in the physical world.

Yeah, it's the VR part that throws me for a twist. I had a 30m HDMI cable once; my video card/TV were only capable of 720p@30Hz over it, which obviously isn't a good match for VR. Apparently active cables are the way to go.
I wish this article would touch upon economic trends' impact on MBA applications.

MBA applications go down as the economy performs. The opportunity cost is higher when there are well paying jobs readily available and promotions to be had without needing to go back school.

During a recession, MBA applications should go up as work is not as readily available. People also want to retrain their skills to make themselves more marketable to employers, as anyone else would do by going to vocational schools during hard times.
> That would eradicate drug trafficking and cross-border terrorism.

No, it wouldn't. One key weakness of totalitarian systems (and that is what you are advocating for) is always that the massive power of the system attracts criminals and corruption into the system and has a major risk of the criminals ending up using the totalitarian power for themselves. If you think there is some sort of absolute solution to a social problem, you are ignoring that implementing the solution does itself build on society. If society isn't free of crime, your solution won't be free of crime either, and if society if free of crime, you don't need the solution. And if your solution isn't free of crime (so, you have corrupt police officers or judges or whatever), then you have thus given criminals the option to use a massively powerful weapon for themselves in some ways.
On the other hand almost all papers have a short introductory section where they present basic concepts in a concise way. I find them great for learning and reinforcing concepts. They should be collected together in a wiki. We would have dozens of variations for each concept and great coverage.
I don't know the end game here. It's easy to say that phone calls as a medium just slides into oblivion and this all becomes academic. But I don't really believe that. There's a real and continuing place for voice conversations and that requires someone to initiate a call.

Eliminating spoofing is probably impossible without infrastructure revamps that aren't realistic even augmenting with spam filtering at the telco level. But the current situation is at the edge of the tolerable and people will just stop letting calls ring through.
