My employer (very large employer...) has partners with other universities for free grad degree. Including Purdue, Carnegie Mellon, and University of Illinois for MBA. It's more traditional, as in...recorded lectures, go to a testing center.

The draw of the G. Tech OMSCS is it's more self paced. I can take 1 class per semester while the other traditional I believe would be 2+ classes per semester.

My current position is more management/team lead, and being in a 'large company' my tech exposure hasn't been competitive (case in point...free grad degree, even though I have on already). I've solved a lot of business problems using older tech. The OMSCS would give me the exposure, plus the pressure to actually finish lectures and projects.

My Masters in EE was actually more hardware oriented. Circuits, networking, DSP, etc... I stumbled into web & software dev. I'd do the OMSCS courses in AI, Security & Data Science - I have an interest in those, anyways.

Good point on postponing. I won't start till Fall 2019 - but I think the G. Tech executive MBA I can start in the Spring if I get all my paperwork together, but that would be suicide haha.
I really think you are splitting hairs with these definitions. Different dictionaries have different phrasings of definitions and different "primary" ones. Most talk about taking property or appropriation by authority/government, which is exactly what taxes are.

This is all besides the point, because what I mean when I say "stealing" is "the government is taking a large portion of my income and I am receiving little to no benefit from it, and yet I am not allowed to stop paying for the lack of return for my money. In fact the first link for "confiscatory" on google provides the definition "Being or imposing an excessive or unreasonable tax or cost". That's what I see the federal income tax on the middle class as, excessive and unreasonable. Not that all taxes are necessarily bad, but that one, and the sheer amount it confiscates, certainly is.

---

I'm an experienced engineering manager, security expert, infrastructure/devops architect and software engineer with more than ten years of experience. I also have quite a bit of domain expertise in (tele)communications, privacy/GDPR, blockchain, and political data.

I was one of the first security team members at Coinbase, as we scaled from scrappy startup to bitcoin behemoth, where I worked on critical features like cold storage, device fingerprinting, account takeover protection, and phone support security. I also acted as a security liason in the sales process to some of the largest financial institutions on the planet. Prior to that I led the voter data API team at the RNC during the 2016 election where my team turned a low-tech Excel-driven world into a well-oiled and modern campaigning machine with historic impact.

I'm primarily looking to join a startup-stage company (<100 employees) or established enterprise (5000+ employees). Ideal roles include (but aren't limited to) engineering manager, security lead, technical program manager, or sales engineer.

My email is in the linked resume and is the best way to reach me.
Supervenience is the relation of being made of a substrate, but not predicted by its laws. Supervenience is distinct from entailment, you are conflating the two. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supervenience

Suggesting that the natural laws are such that all behavior must be entailed by "lower level" natural laws, is a stronger position than stating that all things follow natural law. I think it is hubristic to think that somehow our understanding of natural law is exempt from the same issues that are raised by the incompleteness theorem in math.
This exact approach seems applicable in this situation. People should take boats to it, just on the principle of asserting access.
It's way faster to make changes to how, say, cotton is grown when you're the US's largest retailer and can set new rules for who you'll buy from, than if you're trying to convince congress to pass a law.
I don't know about Oregon, but in Washington you also get a thick voter pamphlet that goes over all the candidates and issues in great detail, including candidates' statements about themselves. For initiatives (referendums), it even has statements by pro and con groups, and rebuttals of each others' statements. And you get that way in advance of the election, too, so there's plenty of time to go over it and do any additional research you feel necessary.

Here's an example from this year.

I'm not sure editing is possible or allowed so I add this to clarify what I stated above about access to streams in Texas.

I sure regret missing that spelling error in the first line where it should've read "boating". Oh well.

Navigable waterways are all public waters to their sources. The waterways that could be entirely private that I referred to above (short feeder streams), are intermittent streams that flow downstream into a navigable waterway. Most of these have no stream flow unless there has been rain in the area.

The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department has a great user-friendly section that outlines public and private uses of waterways in Texas.[0]

The cluster of non-AOMedia cos. I'm most curious about is mobile/SoC folks: Samsung, Qualcomm, Huawei, MediaTek.

Not sure what it signals--the optimistic version is they just want to keep their options open at this stage, and figure they can integrate ARM's or Google's design when the time comes. Pessimistic version is that at least one of them would like to impede adoption by using patents + not supporting AV1 on their chips or devices, maybe in hopes of squeezing money out of the rest of the world.

If Apple (a member, as you noted) ships hardware AV1 support and Google and content providers keep backing it, seems like that would put pressure on the holdouts: your flagships may have to go without a feature a competitor has until you get on board.

No idea--I don't know much about these cos' strategy/politics at all. Just speculating like most others here.

I can only add an anecdote to this:

I read a book where a planet would blink out of existence occasionally, but long went undiscovered because all the high tech scanners and computers kept throwing out the "impossible" readings as corrupt data.

I'm glad I read that book so I could grasp what you're saying here.

Immigration is part if it, and the other part is the Republican party's policies got too extreme for a lot of Californians. California Republicans were more like Schwarzenegger, who later in his term simply abandoned the Republican party. (I think he called Republican operators, crazy and unable to get anything done)

As Wittgenstein correctly pointed out, Gödel's proposition "I'm unprovable" is not a proposition in Russell's system because it leads to inconsistency. Consequently, Gödel's incompleteness results are not valid for Russell's system.
The proposition "I'm unprovable" cannot be constructed as a fixed point of P |-> ~|-P because ~|-P has order one greater than the order of P.
They intentionally made the machines hackable because they intend to cheat. It’s really that simple.

The difference between the theory of evolution and the "theory of gravity" is that tests about gravity are reproducible and repeatable, but not tests on evolutionary theory. One can not test/replicate evolution happening over millions of years. This is why evolution will forever be a theory. Evolution is not a fact. Its a post-facto explanation, where fossils are made to fit a theory.

The real pros know that and will request you call them back. Bank of America didn’t ask me to do this but I was able to verify what they said on my banking app.

Nordstrom was actually one of the few places that I’ve encountered who does this. Someone stole my identity and tried to open a credit card at their store. As soon as I verified it’s wasn’t me in the store she asked me to call back immediately. She wouldn’t even give me a call back number told me to go their website and find it.
Heck, with immersion lito you can even use DLP chip(s) with 405nm and then-trivial multi-patterning to the 180nm... likely even close to 130nm, but that's a stretch that might be too hard on the compensation. This sort of node, with no minimum order quantity and pricing within 2~5x of mask-based fab (slightly slower steppers at these scales, but 600nm might be still reachable in 2 minutes on a 12" for the exposure if you use some resonance or so to get sawtooth-motion of the head to e.g. compensate for a spinning wafer (think like a record/CD player unless viewed in slow motion). Resonance is surprisingly easy to keep steady-state with just a piezo and maybe another one if needed that provides all high frequency content that's not handled by the fundamental and 2 or 3 low harmonics of the scan frequency.

There are applications thanks to modern automation as far as hard-wired logic instead of a via mask ROM, and this should be able to eat much of the low-end FPGA business due to even just much higher design flexibility.
Interesting, do you have any videos that show your platform in action?
Good catch. In fact, it's possible that TeX (and humans) judge the first paragraph as better. Here they are, with colons after each:

xxxx x xxxx xxxxx xx xx xxxxx x:
xx xxxxxxx xxxxx xxx xxxx xxx :
xxxxx x x xxx xxxx xxx xx xx :
xxxxxxx x xxxx xx xxxx xxx xxx :
xx

xxxx x xxxx xxxxx xx xx xxxxx :
x xx xxxxxxx xxxxx xxx xxxx xxx:
xxxxx x x xxx xxxx xxx xx xx :
xxxxxxx x xxxx xx xxxx xxx xxx :
xx

Note that in reality the paragraphs will not be typeset as above, but the spaces will be stretched or shrunk so that the lines have identical width.

The reason the first could be judged as better is that TeX has penalties (\adjdemerits) when consecutive lines belong to "incompatible fitness classes" (e.g. very loose lines following very tight lines), so it may be possible that the first paragraph can count as (tight, loose, loose, loose), and the latter as (loose, tight, loose, loose), which is worse.
No they did not (especially false for US, think about why). And if they did, that's still not a good argument. The fact that we have had something done in the past is not a good argument to keep doing it - US past is full of things that weren't good and shouldn't be done.

> Can you quote anything at all from this particular thread that supports this statement?

The original parent comment of this thread...

> Said this yesterday in the other Facebook thread, and I'll say it again.

Working for Facebook is a morally bankrupt position. If you are an engineer you have plenty of job opportunities available to you and there is no excuse for you to continue contributing your labor and time to a wholly malignant organization.

As to your comment...

> The argument here is that by now there is enough evidence that this compromise is too much, and that ethical people who work at Facebook should consider that.

The argument in this thread is not that people who work at Facebook should "consider" that, but rather that anyone who continues to work at Facebook is no longer ethical.

It's not a straw man if the very first comment proposed exactly that.

Which is a sort of absolutism that I'm taking issue with. I'm sure there are parts of Facebook that are wretched hives of scum and villainy. I'm sure there are parts that would make my and your employer look terrible, ethically comparatively.

So maybe we should use a bit finer brush when tarring people. That seems like a fairly modest proposal to me.

What would happen if everyone who wanted to recreate on this beach simply ignored his signs, took down the gate, and treated the road like the public right of way it should be?
The police already declined to press charges on one group of surfers who "trespassed" right?

Ultimately, he doesn't have the power to physically prevent people from going to the beach, and if enough people ignored his buffoonery the state would probably not consider it a useful expenditure of policing resources to enforce it.
Very Good Security, Inc. | San Francisco/Ukraine | Remote OK | 75%-85% of Market Rate according to https://radford.aon.com/surveys | Full-time | https://verygoodsecurity.com

Very Good Security (VGS) is the easiest, most secure, and most compliant way to collect, protect, and exchange sensitive data on the internet. We are building a very developer-friendly way to embed privacy into both existing and new applications today.

To quote a Forbes reporter: "Startups, such as Very Good Security (VGS), are building new cloud services so that smaller firms across the economy can offer products with leading edge privacy protection. VGS’s solution is to mediate — and anonymize — transactions, authorizations, and authentications so that our personal information is not stored and transmitted along the daisy chain of hospitals, retailers, online stores, and other points-of-sale, including all their vendors and vendors’ vendors." (https://www.forbes.com/sites/washingtonbytes/2018/09/25/euro...)

We are accepting applications for individuals who are interested in reverse engineering, cryptography, data security, privacy, application security, and/or working on making best practices accessible to developers everywhere. We have a very ambitious roadmap, well funded, and growing at a very fast pace.

When applying, please let us know why you think you'd make a great candidate. You can find open jobs here: https://jobs.lever.co/vgs. If you do not see a role that you're interested in, but are interested in learning more, please apply anyway!

Feel free to email me directly (https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=mahmoudimus) with any question about what we are building.
The unmet promise of Big Data in policing
This has been in the works for 15 years and it seems like OpenID bundled with personal storage. As far as I can tell, Tim Berners-Lee is the main feature.

I think Dat and SSB are the most promising technologies we have for data and identity respectively. I want to love Solid, but it already seems outdated.

I wish the team nothing but the best as we all work on fixing and enhancing the web.

You must buy your devices through the enterprise store, and then it is automatically linked to DEP.

Any idea why Apple does not provide a service to test whether a device serial number is DEP-managed?

Because once you know the serial number of a DEP device you can enroll into the MDM. There is virtually no security. See https://duo.com/labs/research/mdm-me-maybe

One part that made the problem more tractable was that we both ran the network and made the devices. This almost never happens. It means we could optimize the devices for quality and supportability instead of making the usual consumer device tradeoffs (is it pretty enough? cheap enough? glitzy enough?).
they can't, because as things currently exist they have to trust the caller ID data in the SS7 links coming from other wholesale carriers where the calls are coming from. possibly several hops away from the grey market voip sip trunking providers.
