I think the timeline was Sprint first launched WiMAX and called it "4G" (even though it was never any faster than HSDPA) and then T-Mobile and AT&T couldn't look worse with a similarly-specced network so they jumped on the bandwagon.

How much did that company recover of the files?

Is it possible that tan deliberately deleted them in such a way that they could be recovered forensically? That might save him from getting caught, and his "handler" overseas could even have recommended it.

But who knows... This article doesn't provide enough information to make a good guess at what was going on.
As someone from India it is probably a good thing that the US has seemingly not had us in mind at almost any point during the last 100 or so years, except for a brief period when we conducted some nuclear tests during 1998(?)...

I think that's the second Micron case.

An exec reports "phone stolen," phone found in his "collaborator's" locker who accidentally shoved it into her bag along with other papers on the table. Both the exec who reported theft and his "accomplice" are send to jail, and a "national security" case just sprung up from two completely unrelated cases thanks to prosecutor's creativity.

Same thing here:

1. Apparently they found that he simply had "weird files" on his flash drive.

2. He had full right to access them.

3. He deleted "weird" files he had rightful access to, and voluntary surrendered the physical medium upon his resignation.

On the sole premise of him deleting "weird" files, he was accused of espionage, with the charge constructed from nothing but tangents, but no "corpus" to "habeus."
> ... The defendant turned over the data before his resignation ...

The FBI affidavit contends Tan deleted the confidential data before leaving the U.S. company, not that he turned the thumb drive over to them. The charges suggest Tan kept the drive after leaving the company, though the article doesn't say so explicitly.

Correction: The affidavit does say Tan turned the drive over to them, and of his own initiative, after he was escorted from the company's premises. See paragraph 17 of the affidavit that user baybal2 links to below.
Sad o hear. Can you elaborate? What mistake to avoid you wished you'd have known?
I am curious, so do you then prefer JS over TS? It still feels to me that you're doing something wrong, and are finding any reason to blame the language. I had very negative views about TS when I did some hobby project with it was it 3 years ago. I felt it only added confusing boilerplate, that hindered my ability to code. But a lot of it was just my own inexperience with the type system, and I was getting stuck many times because I didn't know how to use it. Now it feels like a breeze and I take shortcuts when I need them, and add the interfaces when it feels necessary.

It was a bitter thing to swallow, to admit to myself that I just hadn't understood TS and reverse my views once I got hang of it. Sometimes when you first have a bad experience with well basically anything, you'll be viewing it with the same negative emotion throughout your life. If so many people, experienced and inexperienced developers alike, are saying good things about TS maybe there's something there that you just haven't discovered?

I'm not so sure about this. The methods POST and PUT for example reflect the intention of updating data on a server.

Also, HTTP is just a transfer protocol, I see no problem building abstractions on top of it to handle data transfers for complex applications. Could you explain with more details what properties of HTTP makes it hard to deal with complex data?

I don't think it's typical. For example, JFT has 350e6 images, and it probably cost ~$35M to hand-label, but Google has paid people far in excess of that to work on image classification.
1. He surrendered USB sticks he used inside the company upon resignation.

2. They found confidential files there, but nothing he had no right to access to

3. They found out that he deleted "weird" files the day before he quit the company.

He could not have ever exfiltrated that data to begin with as he gave the drive back to Philips.

It's usually the law of the ship's flag country that applies when in intl. waters. Given that most ships are registered in smaller countries with lax tax laws, it's not surprising there is more trouble prosecuting those than just declaring the passenger "Persona Non Grata" (and the unplanned stop is usually costly to the passenger)

Not to say that if the crime is larger there is a greater chance of prosecution and/or other litigation.
"Theoretically, one positioning chip could be designed to incorporate all of these different systems, but that might run afoul of U.S. national security laws." - the author mentions this speculatively but doesn't provide any citations.

Your comment seems to lack much in the way of fact.

They weren't banned in the UK. Or London. Their application for a license renewal was temporarily denied in London. They appealed, once.

They worked with TfL to resolve their concerns and were granted a new license - though slightly shorter term than normal. They're not entirely off the hook and will need to continue to show that they're behaving appropriately, but they're absolutely fine to operate now and that is not likely to change any time soon.

...or you could just use the unicode type in Python 2; like: all of my Python 2 software handled languages in other character sets correctly (and yes: this was stress tested often as I have had many many users from China and the Middle East). There was absolutely nothing wrong with Python 2 and Unicode, and if anything Python 3 just made a bunch of stuff impossible to do correctly (in particular encodings for filenames) until years later (I think Python 3.4 or something is when they finally got their Unicode shit together; meanwhile, Python 2 worked great).
What else do you want us to say? We're not omniscient.
>> "stupid me" type JS errors from typos, misnamed arguments

That is true but these errors are very easy to fix in any language.

The difficult and most important part of programming is getting the system design/structure/architecture right.

Avoiding bad design is the real challenge of programming e.g. code paths are too long and traverse too many different files, it's not clear where objects are coming from in the code (bad DI), files are poorly named, directory structure makes no sense, exceptions are not thrown or handled correctly, logging is absent or not detailed enough, testing is focused on the least important functionality, validation logic for external data is wrong or hard to follow, system doesn't scale, components don't have clear separation of concerns, component abstractions are leaking lower level concepts into the higher level logic, access control layer has gaps, etc... Static typing doesnt add any value for any of these things.

Static typing can help find class or function definitions and usages in the code more easily but only if the classes, functions and methods are poorly named to begin with (if classes and methods have good, highly relevant names, then they're always easy to find in any language).

For a senior developer; design problems are the real hard problems. The rest is minor stuff and we shouldn't spend all our effort on those.
The "magic spot" was a big problem -- accidentally touching it dropped calls.

Reception of the iPhone 4 was significantly worse than the 3GS that came before it.

It wasn't overblown at all. They totally screwed up the antenna design, and because of their release cycle it took them 2 years to fix it (with the iPhone 5)

Such a hit that would cause a 30(!)% marketshare change?
No, he gave up the drive and everything he had from company's IT for review. They are very purposefully avoiding mentioning that, but logically you can't conceive of how they can review the thumb drive without him willingly giving it to them first, nor that he had authorised access to such data in the first place. The charge says nothing about his accessing the data unlawfully, other than saying that he had "no reason" to access it, and it being outside of his immediate responsibility.

The intent of making something open source is usually for others to use it. The parent is remarking that by choosing GPL the code would probably never be used. Which, in theory, would defeat the reason for making it open source in the first place.

I'm assuming the idea behind making such a comment is the realization that many people, especially in academia, do not realize how unusable GPL is.

You are right about the synced folder, and that's pretty much the approach that I was using. But I was keeping my DB in one provider and my keyfile in another, which means that I had to remember (or have otherwise access to) a total of 3 passwords to unlock my db. It worked, but when I recently had to change phones two times in a period of a few days it was increasingly annoying. Of course I could have kept my keyfile and the DB in the same provider, but still that's one password too many for me.

Thanks for the recommendation for KeePassDX, I will take a look.

WELL, the main question: WHY THE HECK did he report on himself??? The charge pretty much says that he voluntarily contacted his supervisor and asked what to do with that USB stick.

And there, the parallel with Micron case gets more startling: the alleged "spy" was the very man who said that his cellhpone was missing. Then the police found the cellphone in his coworkers locker. The coworker accidentally put his phone into her back along with papers on the table. Then the police searched his phone, and found out that "he happened to be a spy" on very similar circumstances.

While CNNs are tempting and fast to train I've never been able to get the accuracy I can from RNNs. In NLP, accuracy is important because for lots of tasks NLP is right at that inflection point of being good enough to be useful.. if it's good enough.

It's worth noting that this TCN paper gets a perplexity of 45.19 on WikiText-103. That was competitive in 2015.

The current state of the art is 29.2[1] - not their claim of 48.4 (unclear what that came from).

Still, CNNs are nice in an ensemble model if that's your thing. They do tend to pick up different things to RNNs, which can be useful.

Edit: I now understand why their reported metrics are so wrong. They use generic models to compare against. They list SOTA performance in their supplementary material (they still get them wrong though).

High learning curve. First two weeks might fry your brain.

Language is perfect for what was created: matching pathologicaly ordered number arrays (phone numbers); but needs some way to get people onboard fast.
Good for you, but that isn't how it usually worked. Python 3 has made my life easier, but if you really think "There was absolutey nothing wrong with Python 2 and Unicode", I doubt I'll be able to convince you. So I'll simply say again: thank you Python 3 maintainers and developers, it's a huge help to me.
I think the barrier to entry in unlicensed taxis is that there are two large companies currently committed to losing money doing it.

Attracting drivers may be hard, but it's not zero sum; drivers can be and are active in Uber and Lyft simultaneously, it's not inconceivable to swap one of those for a different app or add a third. But it would need to be compelling in some way, preferably a not so monetary way, because a race to the bottom doesn't usually benefit a small company.
Most code is not portable at the assembler level and compiler hides this kind of detail.
Why was Germany not more prominent during WWII (but apparently during WWI)?
Except doing the right thing by default is important, and the reality is that Python 3 code is way more likely to handle Unicode correctly, which is what we want.

People constantly complain, but honestly changes like Python 3 have to happen - the alternative is just another completely new language taking over instead.
No. The PoW problem should be derived according to the current state of the blockchain. That makes "solving a lot of primes" in secret inapplicable. You read my post far too literally.

The idea is to combine the ideas behind Namecoin with Primecoin.
Nope, and I’m guessing this is the main reason for China’s Belt and Road project. Their reliance on maritime trade puts them at the mercy of the US navy.
Yes. And I guess it could have gone worth. On the other hand, I don't expect the community in a mood to embark on Python 4 any time soon, though it would make sense, in terms of version numbers and time passed.
Turning GraphQL diagrams to mock back end
It's a broad idea to construct a secure PoW, with all that's required to make it secure, but to try and make it applicable to areas like number theory. See PrimeCoin for a successful example.

Also your concerns are unfounded: See Namecoin and Primecoin. I'm thinking these two ideas could be combined.
It would just split and dilute the mentions of the Soviets/Russia during the USSR's existence. While it existed, Russia and the USSR were pretty much synonymous.

Your personal life sounds more exciting than mine.

In each case though you did it to begin with because

1) while you knew you would be sorry, you surmised you would be more sorry not doing it, or

2) did not believe anyone would mind your actions, or

3) did not realize you would so much regret it when others took offense to your actions.

#3 absolves you of nothing.
#2 absolves you unless you thought they wouldn't mind simply because they wouldn't know.
#1 could absolves you in theory, but might just reflect priorities that the recipient of your apology doesn't share.

All this is likely of little use to anyone, but I couldn't resist writing it down anyway.
> (...) I don't believe they need GPS signal on takeoff/landing, they use older tech for that.

Much older. The basic "stack" uses radio beacons, not greatly different from early XX century tech. The more advanced Instrument Landing System is quite a bit more complex, but in very basic terms is a set of radio beacons that define a glide path. It is local, and requires no GPS.
This is really interesting. I would be interested in seeing a visualization of just China by headline count, for the time it has been in mind, 2009 to present, as it seems to have picked up significantly in the last year or so.

I don't know about the rumours, but "a few days" is a long time to test a bug fix.

It should ideally take from a few seconds to a few minutes. That's not extremely excellent, it's just good practice.

More than that and it hints towards heavy reliance on manual testing, and that's something I'd be worried about.

EDIT: Despite the parent comment's misguided logic, it seems his/her fears are actually in the right place.

An issue was opened about 6 weeks ago asking where the tests are and it received zero responses from the maintainers: https://github.com/bitwarden/core/issues/399
my favorite part, every time this shows up here, is that an example of a simple api with all the info the client needs to understand the data is:

which completely ignores the unit ;)

the fact that no human would ever know the actual temperature, shows how disconnected from humanity most protocol design committees are.
