I've seen this kind of strange behavior elsewhere with less famous people who are in charge of companies.

People who don't regularly interact with them seem to act strange around them (which isn't that surprising if they're not seen that often and they're in charge), but the weirder thing to me is that all the supporting staff around the leader also acts strangely and seems to make it worse.

It reminds me of the story when Carmack had a demo and one of Jobs' support staff said they couldn't use it because "he doesn't like blood". When Jobs heard it was Carmack he said it was fine.

Something about it feels weird.
I am glad to say it seems very hard to find hardware that doesn't work on Linux.
ART still translates Dalvik byte code. If you separate "Dalvik the interpreter implementation" from "Dalvik the specification", you see that Android is still fundamentally based on Dalvik.

I think the parent comment's point about Android application isolation being enforced by hardware rather than software still stands.
Not necessarily. While that helps, more important is whether the patented idea/product is original and significant and/or has been cited or used by others.
>Formula 1 still uses everyday side view mirrors. Those cars are at the pinnacle of technology and engineering. So if there was ever a case to decrease the drag coefficient F1 cars would be the place.

F1 is highly restricted as to what they can and can't do as far as vehicle design. If the class rules said they needed to tow a parachute they'd tow parachutes. They would be highly aerodynamic parachutes but parachutes nonetheless.

F1 also doesn't care about cabin noise. Mirrors cause a fair bit of cabin noise.

>I just don't think side mirrors contribute that much to be worth replacing them with a camera based system.

Me either, but through a combination of people at various levels responding to incentives here we are.

The JVM architecture had and has proven safety characteristics. The WASM machine model is more constrained in order to make proof easier. The JVM is more complex but is intrinsically safe all the same. Sun just had more dedicated sources to work through the proof.

The promise of the JVM failed not because of design, but because of buggy implementations. The drive for features and performance brought risk. And WASM is heading down the same path. WASM can add GC with an unimpeachable proof of design safety, but it would be irrelevant.

The issue isn't design or architecture. The issue is that the motivation for adding GC and other features to WASM is principally for performance. Version 1.0 of WASM will be the last specification that made security paramount. Everything after that will be a managed retreat as more and more features and code are placed outside the sandbox in the endless pursuit of performance.

To reiterate: Java applets weren't insecure because the JVM was insecure. Java applets were insecure because the vast majority of the implementation of the environment--and particularly the most complex aspects--existed outside the confines of the sandbox. The more feature rich and performant the sandbox environment then necessarily the more code and complexity must exist outside the sandbox.

ActiveX, Silverlight, and (worst of all) Flash were far more insecure, both in design and implementation. But that's a distinction without a difference; their relative inferiority didn't make Java applets more viable.

WASM will be insecure for all the same reasons: JITs and GCs are tremendously complex beasts, with implementations least amenable to verification methods relative to most other software projects. Rust's borrow checker is worthless for ensuring memory ordering and life cycle invariants of machine objects. DOM implementations have similarly become tremendously complex, yet the focus is on how to expose these implementations and their interfaces in entirely novel and brittle ways, prioritizing performance above all else. The most safe alternative and likely sufficient for 80% of use cases would be a message passing interface, afterall. Instead, design proposals are focused on finding the thinnest possible abstraction over direct addressing of DOM object references from within the VM. Thus the prioritization of GC.
Looking at safety, investing in individual stocks or precious metals like gold is a poor choice. Index funds, or bonds have much less volatility.

To paint a full picture, how many people who invested in physical gold still have it, and how many had it stolen or lost it, or were scammed buying something other than real gold?
But none so far about election tampering. More anout lying about timelines, not registering as foreign agents, etc. It’s like a big version of the Martha Stewart trial —so far anyhow.
The Chinese government are mostly smarter than that, and better long-term thinkers.

The Russian government has a lot of Putin's ego in it, they make big splashy moves that look like 'exerting power' (ukraine, georgia, US elections). Meanwhile their economy is stagnating and regressing to resource extraction.

Why would the Chinese bother stoking tensions in America when we're already so good at it ourselves? "Never interfere with your enemy when he's making a mistake".
So I hear. It may be a good option in the future.

In this vehicle they control the regenerative braking, i.e. make it more or less aggressive.
No, they don't, because such a thing cannot exist for C++. Any attempt would basically recreate Rust, or something equivalently incompatible with existing C++ codebases.
MS is very slowly moving away from AD themselves to a "MDM" cloud-provisioning model more or less copied wholesale from what Apple did with iOS. They claim that binding machines and users to AD is optional these days, but the alternative workflow leaves a whooooole lotta gaps. Maybe in 5 years it will be a real alternative.
It’s even worse thatn that as the behaviour is defined by a weird combination of the OS, the .net framework, powershell version and local policy settings.
The technologies that currently exist are examples of ANI ("artificial narrow intelligence" or weak AI[1]). The way you are using the term AI is in line with what is known as AGI ("artificial general intelligence" or strong AI[2]). Strong AI doesn't currently exist and, as far as we can tell, is still a fair way away. Some people believe that strong AI isn't even possible.

So to answer your question directly, AI is a thing, but currently it is only the subset of AI called ANI. AGI is still over the horizon.

That is a perfect example of security FUD around systemd.

The attack vector is what? Someone manages to convince an administrator to write a service that has "User=0foo" in it?

If an attacker has access to write into `/etc/systemd/system` then they already have root on the system.

If an attacker can cause an administrator to write a systemd unit and the administrator isn't checking that it's reasonable, the attacker could just have the `ExecStart` line run a 'sploit and not have a `User` line at all.

Seriously, what is the attack that you imagine where this has a security impact?

As Poettering said on that issue, no one should be running system services as usernames starting with numbers, and that's questionably valid in the first place.

People still have blown it out of proportion because it's systemd.

Note that a similar issue exists in the old sys-v init scripts: they run as root, and if you convince a person writing a sys-v init script to exclude the `start-stop-daemon -u username` flag, then the daemon will run as root. Basically identical, but never assigned a CVE because no one seriously considers "I talked my sysadmin into running something as root" by itself a privilege escalation.
You'd need to have a way to replace humans with machines and do so both flexibly and at-scale. The big competitive advantage of Shenzhen is people - and not just unskilled labor, but a lot of skilled tradespeople & engineers that can design & build electronic components to spec very quickly. The U.S. just doesn't have the density and skill level for that - the closest you might get is Silicon Valley for software, but even here the population density is < 1/4 of Shenzhen, a relatively small percentage are skilled engineers, and we've somewhat overspecialized on Internet, mobile, & big-data software, making it difficult to innovate in other fields without having an extremely rare combination of skills in one individual.

In theory things like 3D printers, pick & place machines, and better CNC millers all controlled by software could help with that, but interest in hardware hacking in the Bay Area has gone down and a lot of the professional electronics manufacturing moved to China.

Tangent: The headline brings up an interesting thought.. I wonder what anti-vaxx people will do when a new scary virus emerges. Something actively and aggressively flying through the population.

So much of the anti-vaxx mindset is supported by herd immunity. But when a scenario finally happens where herd immunity is compromised.. It'll be interesting to see how the vaccination discussion plays out.

edit: The downvotes must indicate that this is too off-topic, so sorry for the post :). I just had the thought and wanted to see your opinions on it. Appreciated.
You can’t really compare the US/EU/China to individual smaller countries. There’s a scale above which the economics are quite different.
Maybe? We don't know, also Einstein wasn't a fan:

> Einstein originally introduced the concept in 1917 [2] to counterbalance the effects of gravity and achieve a static universe, a notion which was the accepted view at the time. Einstein abandoned the concept in 1931 after Hubble's discovery of the expanding universe.

> Einstein reportedly referred to his failure to accept the validation of his equations—when they had predicted the expansion of the universe in theory, before it was demonstrated in observation of the cosmological red shift—as his "biggest blunder".

Blog posts are not limited to those two kinds. I have a blog where I don't write too often. Whenever I have a programming problem whose solution couldn't be found easily by searching on internet, I write a small technical and to-the-point post about it, hoping that it will be useful to anybody else that may have the same issue.

If you feel pressured to publish stuff regularly, probably you're keeping a blog for the "wrong" reasons.

I am indeed bullish on crypto, but the decision is driven by facts, not by passion.

The fact is the price range vary too much, even in the same scale (say BTC/USD vs XRP/USD), so we decided to have 5 characters for every price.

That requires the use of scientific notation.
Unfortunately, my dad's mental state and eyes have degraded so much that he cannot use email anymore. Is a phone interview okay? I can ask him if he wants to talk about it. He had been too embarrassed to talk about it before, but time may have changed that.

It is indeed a crazy story. The scammers told him if he went to police or tried to contact the direct family of the nephew, it would blow the entire cover of the fix-by-bribery get-out-of-jail method. He was instructed to go to Target to buy gift cards. Later, Target was uncooperative in providing details, such as security camera coverage of those cashing in the gift cards on the other "side". The cards are numbered such that I'm sure they have logs and/or accounting records of when and where they were cashed in. They could have used that to narrow down which security camera footage to review. Maybe investigating Target gift-card scams is an avenue for you. Target confessed is had happened to others.

It isn't just barren. It's sterilized of any Earth life that may have happened along every month, which gets up to 250 degrees F (~120 C), and even if something survives that, there's never a window of time in which something like livable conditions obtain, because once out of the sterilizing sunlight the temperature immediately heads for a decent approximation of the average temperature of the cosmos. (Doesn't seem to quite get there, but it's cold enough that you could pour liquid nitrogen on to the ground and it would stay liquid if you held it at 1atm pressure. Dunno about vacuum.) So between the extreme thermal cycling and hard radiation, even Earth's best aren't going to get a foothold up there.

This is in contrast to places with a non-trivial atmosphere or standing liquids, which may moderate the environment enough that something could conceivably live. Something could conceivably live on Mars, something that isn't even necessarily that far from some things that live on Earth. Nothing will live on the Moon. You can fling as many gallons of the scummiest pond water you can find from any pond water on Earth on the moon, and you're not going to "contaminate" it with life.

Hi Peter,

Can you please have Trump deported?

Thanks!
Sorry, yes an L-1 could work although all work would need to floe through the US company and you would need to add jobs over time.
What’s the point then? Cygwin works better than this.
I want to commend you for trying to learn more about the immigration process. More often than not, I find that Americans tend to not know hoops and travails that internationals have to jump through to work in the US, or even just to keep working in the US. Too often, I've heard "H1-B is for cheap foreign labor - just apply for an EB-1/2 or something."
You should reframe negative events like a job rejection.
Thanks for making this! I was looking for a solution that could provide me a list of cryptocurrency domains.
I just meant, if we're expecting every site to implement an API to augment the password flow, why even use passwords? Why not get rid of them entirely, and have an API on every website that handles auth? OAuth was just an example of something that could (poorly?) serve as that.
Yes, the system sucks. That said, there are ways you can deal with it. Everyone's situation is different, and I don't know yours. But there's basically two main approaches you can take:

1) Don't devote much time to studying, and focus on companies that don't rely on whiteboarding leetcode-style interviews. They're harder to find, but they exist. FAANG probably isn't going to be an option, unless you get lucky.

2) Go all-in on studying. Make the time. Even an hour a day. Cut back on work and social obligations. Chip away at problems for several months. Keep track of the ones you get stuck on and re-do them a few weeks later. Try some practice interviews at sites like interviewing.io with real humans, and listen to their feedback. Repeat, repeat until you feel more confident. It takes time, but it pays off.
I do not see why people are voting this down. The comment is absolutely correct.

The discussion was on the faults of China vs Russia. Not on the USA. Election tampering was listed as something that China didn't do, so it is not even on the list of things we are trying to criticize China for.

Why, then, are alleged past American misdeeds coming up? We can focus on them in a different discussion about the USA. They neither explain nor excuse the economic and currency manipulations that China has been engaged in.
Maybe the key word is “forced”.
Over the years I've known various undergrad admissions people at another Boston area school. At least the way they used to do things was to basically have a matrix with quantitive academics/test scores on one axis and a score for soft stuff on the other axes.

Admit the "no brainers" in the upper right. Reject the "no ways" in the lower left. Then take a harder look at those in the middle. But the reality is that you could probably take an arbitrary subset of the middle group and they'd probably do nearly as well/contribute as much/etc. as the final selection you sweated over.

I've also been on the selection committee for various conferences over the years and that also often ends up working the same way to a significant degree.

A history of artificial intelligence
> I've never heard of someone being able to run them on a GPU

I'm surprised; intuitively (though, mind you, as someone who has never done GPGPU programming, only read articles about it), I'd think some combination of 1. a CPU-RNG-seeded simplex-noise kernel, for per-core randomness; and 2. a cellular-automata kernel embedding of your simulation logic, would let you do MC just fine.
Whether it is simpler depends on the details of the unification. Two comparatively simple theories are not made simpler with a very complex unification.

Hi Peter, I'm Canadian and had some questions about the E-2 visa :)

Can I work a random job in the U.S. while holding an E-2 visa?

What if I want to segue into a green card? Or another kind of visa? Will the attestation of leaving the U.S. conflict with that?

Can E-2 visas be extended indefinitely with ease? (much like TNs)

If I have a startup I just started, how many people can I safely bring over with the E-2 employee visa assuming I'm the only investor putting money down?

How can I learn more about getting in touch with you and hiring you as my attorney?
I think this is a little nutty. This business has been subsumed by digikey, findchips.com, mouser, etc. Do you really have the time or inclination to get in a car and rummage through bins? Isn't designing, simulating, or even reading data sheets a better use of your time?

Aside from the general anti-China slant that is fairly common in the journal

To be fair, the perceived anti-China slant wasn't always that way. It used to be one of the most pro-China publications in the early days of the Chinese economic ramp-up. But as things have changed in China, so has the tone of the Journal.

It's a reaction to what's happening there. An over-reaction, probably. But a reaction, nonetheless.
> You don't go with an Intel GPU because you want a powerful GPU

That's true. For desktop work, just about any GPU is overkill. Even the kind of scientific visualization we used expensive SGI boxes for not so long ago can easily be done with the cheapest Chromebook. I'd love to be able to play with OpenCL (where a beefier GPU would be useful) and see how far my boxes can actually go, but I never get around to find a good excuse.
Strangely, it seems that there will be no major changes to the TN under the new agreement.
