Government regulation? They can't keep themselves secure. There was just a post here a couple of days ago saying how vulnerable the DOD's systems are. How are they going to police others when they can't police themselves?

I work in the banking industry where security IS regulated (by the FDIC). We have government auditors come and review our technology once a year. These guys don't know what the hell they are doing. We have had blatant security problems (now addressed) that they couldn't see right in front of their nose. Community banks have terrible security. Larger ones are better, but still rife with problems.

I fail to see how government regulation and intervention has helped in my industry, or how it would help in any. If by regulations, you mean that we would get fined if some data got compromised, that already happens through negligence lawsuits. It is not an effective motivator though.

In my experience, the threat/worry of bad publicity is actually the best motivator in a company getting their security up to par.
Sweden have something similar for allowing private copying of media. For all empty media we buy (cd, usb, harddrives, cassette tapes, vhs and so on) we pay a small tax that is collected by STIM. STIM distributes it to media creators according to their own payment model.

The problem here is that STIM is a private company handing taxes and payout. It is commonly argued that they are paying the wrong artists and has no real track on what is popular. The industry can easily game the system by making their own music popular (formerly pushing it out to all radio stations, not sure what they do now).

Micro transactions might just end up with a botfarm in china clicking articles to generate income for the newspapers. Or even more clickbaity headlines to click. A lot of problems to solve and no solution in sight yet?
Yes, discriminating as well.
The parent comment does not say otherwise. It is also perfectly right for consumers to try to influence the market.
Thought the same recently and omitted the initialization. Then Lint yelled at me. I decided it's not a fight worth fighting since it basically costs nothing and is more robust in the face of change.
I read a broad selection of content and don't necessarily know ahead of time which publications are going to produce the useful/interesting content this month.

I cannot afford to support dozens of publications which still might not include all the content I want to read because article foo is from yet a different publication.

Guessing ahead of time seems both broken and expensive compared to grazing one a continuous stream of interesting data supported by ads consumed by people too stupid to install adblocking.

In theory modest advertising could probably easily pay for the people that actually produce the content, In theory micropayments might work too.

In reality they insist on wasting most of the money they earn and deploying intrusive ads and bullying to try to make me subscribe so they can keep wasting money.

My choices are to either give them a big middle finger or surrender my computer to their nonsense and prop up their poorly thought out business model.

As adblockers become increasingly prevalent and decreasing numbers pay for subscriptions this will obviously be increasingly difficult for content creators but solving their problems isn't my problem.

Since I only control my computer I will just keep doing whats best for me.

With all that money (imho) they should have eliminated poverty, achieve peace with everyone around them, and have developed/progressed to the Star-Trek-TNG-quality-of-life we all dream of. But instead of the "United Federation of Planets" they became a mix beteen Ferengi and Cardassian.

I contacted one of Oboe authors and I reached conclusion that this doesn't achieve anything you couldn't already get with openal-soft lib. You can expect some 20ms of audio delay, plus 16-33ms of touchscreen latency .

If you are curious about latency, check out my android app "Hexpress" (on play store) that gives you drums and other instruments to play with. I measured roughly 50 ms of tap-to-sound delay, not consistent across devices. That lands it within 'cute audio toy' territory, which is why I stopped investing time.
Plus, you're working your ass off to raise someone else's offspring. So it is different.

Atlas does parkour
This is really a great achievement. I am wondering how much communication was necessary between the cores during the computation or is the problem a so called "embarrassingly parallel" workload where the work could be split into independent tasks?
What about all the delays from the use of java? Even if your audio app is in c++ for performance, it's still competing for resources with many other java apps easily using gigabytes of ram just idling. I don't see any way to mitigate that.
Hey it does work on mobile. However, remember visualizations like crosstab, splom are not meant to be displayed in a space constrained area as is. There are multiple way to handle this situation. At this point of time Muze does not changes layout based on space.

The web framework fetches data, does some additional checking on data and schema, process visible code and render it. That is probably the reason you are seeing lag.

Also there are few areas where Muze performance needs to be improved. We are doing a release to address this soon.
Threads are the most horrible and broken feature in Slack ever. So much that I wish we could disable them altogether. The visibility is bad, notifications are bad, the UI is confusing. I don't even understand how can some people use it.
> I've used state machines on the job. In fact, entire architectures are designed around finite state machines.

My point wasn't that FSMs are useless. My point was that despite the fact that I personally have never needed to convert an NFA to a DFA in my professional career or program a turing machine, I still have a deep appreciation for those courses because they fundamentally changed the way I think about computation.

> I've also solved a complex logic problem a senior engineer couldn't solve by implementing K-maps.

While you are clearly very proud of this fact, I'm not sure why that's relevant here?

> everybody under the sun complains about how useless college is and how things should be taught with more application without realizing that things are taught minus application for a reason (so that you can apply things generally instead of specifically)

This is basically the exact opposite of my complaint. I was complaining that differential equation courses essentially focus on teaching a bag of tricks for solving specific types of equations. I'm sure that behind each of those tricks there is a very fascinating how and why that - upon deeper exploration - may have changed the way I think about numbers. But that certainly was not the focus of the class that I took.

> the effort many students give to college is less than average

So you're saying in a given population, many of its members will be less than average? Very insightful. If only I had gone further in math maybe I would be capable of such insights, too. :)

> So their complaints are really just the result of laziness and lack of responsibility more than anything.

Be careful with this line of thinking. You could say the same thing to discredit any attempt to improve the way a course is taught. But surely you must agree there is room for improvement, right?

> A minority opinion does not make it invalid or worth less, unless you have evidence to discredit it.

Given that you made no attempt to substantiate your opinion - it seems to me that the logical thing to do here is to side with the majority.

Is it? You can murder someone by yourself and be the only person who knows what happened. You as the murdered are strongly incentivized to never tell anyone if you want to remain free.

In a corporate IT department a bunch of people will have to know just to make a decision as to whether or not to publicly disclose it. An anonymous tip could have zero consequences for the individual even while they remain in their current job. What is the turnover among IT staff? Once they have another job they have virtually zero motivation to keep their former employers dirty secrets.

We haven't though. The distinction between these aircraft and typical planes being that they don't need a runway (several of them are VTOL), and are aiming to do away with the need for a pilot. The big limiting factor for small planes have been that combination of cost, inconvenience (nearest airfield to me is far enough away to make it pointless, and most places I'd want to go to don't have an airfield nearby either), and the need for a pilot.

First when you solve all three of those, you have something that is addressing the same market.

We will see whether or not it will make sense - there's now half a dozen manufacturers at least that claims to have electric aircraft in this class that are efficient enough to be comparable with electric cars in energy use. Of course it's possible they're all wrong.

Mozilla Uses Amazon Polly to Give Its Pocket App a Human-Sounding Voice
I’m a big fan of “just in time” learning. When I’m facing a specific challenge I look for books and articles that will educate me more about potential solutions (eg your accounting book example).

However, for many founders, myself included, there’s an aspect of “you don’t know what you don’t know” and in these cases I find the generalist books quite helpful. For these topics, it is extremely helpful to have a wide but shallow understanding of business, strategy, law, etc so if you encounter a problem you at least understand enough to know where you can dive deeper (or know you need to hire someone else). The advice in general business strategy books certainly lacks nuance. But for anyone who is not already enmeshed in the many many aspects of running a complete business themselves, they are great guides to gain a 10,000 foot view very quickly.

Yes really based on my own experience in a FAANG - if you hit the top of the pay band, your salary will go up at a minuscule percentage, even with significant outperforms ratings.
True, but there's something to be said about the defaults.

Unless you're experienced enough to know you should turn sound notifications off, `/mute` channels that are mostly noise but you still need to follow, and type `/dnd until 5:30pm` when you log in in the morning to get the message across that "no, I won't be reading this now unless you confirm it's actually time sensitive", it's easy to get interrupted by pointless messages all day long.

(There's also something to be said about documenting decisions outside of slack.)

It has saved my life once, via weather report. It has let me know that there was a disaster in the area where I knew people I cared about greatly were, enabling me to prep some support. And once, it told me that a project my then-company was working on was indirectly doomed by the advent of this little thing called the iPhone. Off the top of my head.

Thatvis a strawman. Open spaces don't make companies go bankrupt either. Yoi could also say Slack does not cause nuclear wars, which is also true but also not the point.

Slack was supposed to be a progress compared to other communications channels, for instance mails, phone calls and previous IRC channels.

My takeaway from Slack is that it is very nice for chatting casually and organizing lunches, but it does a poor job at improving professional communication. I sometimes feel its appeal is mostly gifs for fun and the ability for managers to ping people and expect immediate answers.

> there's now half a dozen manufacturers at least that claims to have electric aircraft in this class that are efficient enough to be comparable with electric cars in energy use.

You'd have to use a very loose concept of “comparable” for such claims to be plausible, but the personal flying vehicle market has been rife with vaporware draining the wallets of investors and enthusiasts (the latter through early sales of reservations for “imminent” models) long before “electric” was part of the usual pitch.

I don't want to single out the US or give the impression that I hate it. I actually love that country. No doubt one of the best countries in the world despite everything.

But I don't think SA is particularly worse than any other regional/global powerful country on earth wrt. foreign policy. Why should that prompt the US (or any other security council country for that matter) to re-evaluate their relationship when they commit the same, if not worse, crimes.
Churchill & The secret service is a better biography than most of the actual biography books. It explains the creation of a modern secret service used to gather intelligence on foreign and local targets including competing political parties.

This played a major role on Churchill's intuition and ascend, and failed miserably when he diverted resources to fight local political parties thus not predicting the start date of two world wars.

After the wars had started, he did divert resources to handle things succesfully.

TLDR: Churchill was his secret services. Succesful when not adapted to his own personal biases

Yeah, same here in the bay area.
Well, I think the opposite result would have been very interesting/surprising. So I think it's a good experiment, and it's good to publish negative results.

The subhead seems a tad sensationalist. If interference had been shown, it would have suggested strongly that this can happen at the smaller scale as well, and that it didn't is probably disappointing for those that hoped to show it in the analogy. Not sure how it "crushes" those theories.

Regulations do not make problems disappear but make the situation better. If you vote for politicians that want to improve it, instead of politicians that are paid by lobbyists to free companies of their responsibilities.
Completely agree. Hardware itself doesn't introduce any noticeable latency, it's just whole lot of buffers at various software layers because audio stuttering and power consumption is always prioritized over latency. Some devices actually support low-latency in audio drivers by conforming to Android Professional Audio. I haven't yet gotten chance to test any of those devices if improvement is noticeable.
Of course it’s not necessary. Did you/advisor read the SAFE? Now it’s time to decide if your “advisor” (investor?) is bringing enough to the table to comply with his amateurish requests and handholding.

While it is nice to add some spacing and make things a bit easier to read, I don't really see the point in this.

If you want it to be easily parsable by a human then there are hundreds of applications designed for this. The most common being spreadsheets like Excel.

And what happens if you have a list of domains, but one contains a really long url (300 characters wide?). It will mess up the columns for every single row above and below it as well.

Also adding comments will completely break any existing software (I think most programs can handle some more whitespace, but you couldn't import the final example into Excel, I don't think (untested))
Campaign, advocate for and support clean meat as a viable alternative to conventional factory farmed animal products. Factory farming is one of the biggest source of carbon emissions worldwide and a switch to clean meat can – due to higher efficiency of the meat generation process – have a huge impact here.

When you pay with your money,i.e. subscribe : you enable them to get more information out of you. Tracking becomes almost perfect : no matter how many browsers you change, operating systems, keep deleting cookies, give random data to finger printing : they can track you with your subscriber ID.

I'm having a fundamental problem understanding why the paradox is modeled the way it is.

"Mr. Smith has two children. At least one of them is a boy. What is the probability that both children are boys?"

For some reason, it's expanded as a choice from {BB, BG, GB, GG}. But why on Earth does the order of children matter in this question? The way I see it, it should be modeled as {both-boys, boy-and-girl, both-girls}; by telling me that one of the kids is a boy, you eliminated one possibility out of three, leaving us with 1/2 as an answer.

>When using this mode to listen to my TV, I can just tell that there is a delay...

That absolutely destroys it for music apps. A decent latency for music apps is under 10ms. You don't hear it, you feel it when you press a key and you don't hear the sound immediately. It prevents you from playing fast, even if you kind of adjust to it.

Your brain is very sensitive to timing differences. Hit a drum with two sticks - you can hear the difference on beat and almost-on-beat very easily. And if you are trying to use vocal effects and hear your own voice delayed - that just messes with your brain.

Read this article for more background on how latency affects musicians and what number are acceptable: https://www.churchproduction.com/education/latency-and-its-a...
