1500: SAT Score of 1500 (of 1600, puts them in the 99%-ile)

4.0+: 4.0+ Grade Point Average (D=1 grade point A=4, Advanced Placement courses [AP] are +1 on the grade point so you can be over 4.0 on a 4 point scale.)

12+ AP: is they've taken 12 or more Advanced Placement courses, which are in theory equal in rigor and difficulty to college level courses.

Basically means they spent their entire high school taking as many of the hardest classes they can, and earning an A in all courses.
In the same conversation, he said "You're friends with <coworker> outside of work, right? Look, don't tell him this, but we can get 10 of him, we can't find many of you" then still gave me a 2.5% raise. I literally don't get what sort of person you have to be to confirm that someone's my friend, then proceed to shit on them in a professional setting. Head of the department (his direct boss) was sitting there too. The co-worker in question has basically been single-handedly tackling security and busts his ass, but luckily his supervisor isn't terrible and goes to bat so he at least got the raise he deserved (he's still looking for other jobs too, don't worry).

Been looking (not as hard as I should be) for a new job since that review, unfortunately being stubborn about staying in central New Jersey isn't doing me any favors. Just trying to maintain my sanity in the meantime while I look around :/

Better, have a secure server at home and ansible playbooks to set up laptops (including getting any minor secrets that you need onto that laptop. Restrict more important stuff to just ssh).

If your threat model doesn't include physical tampering/rootkits, just wipe your devices pre-travel and set it up when you get where you're going. If it does and you can afford to mitigate that risk, arrange to have cheap new devices at your destination and travel with nothing.

Interesting article, but if one considers the possibility of overflow, the invariants in some of the examples aren't true.

Which doesn't mean the article is _wrong_ so much as it demonstrates one needs to prove the invariants are actually true.
I already acknowledged that public interest in accountability above. To which you suggested anyone who didn't want to be monitored "aren't super fond of doing their job right".

My point is that police officers, like you, find having someone staring over their shoulder while they work uncomfortable. So the fact that they don't like it and tend to oppose it doesn't mean they're inherently desiring to be corrupt or violent or bad cops.

And yes, it's definitely true that police are regularly accused of lying, and can find appealing having recorded proof of their interactions. There's a lot of extra rules and regs around body cams and when they have to be recorded, and how they can be used by the department that can make the issue cloudier.

Why is it not self evident that cooperation is driven by self interested paired with intelligence? Animal A sees animal B in its territory. This tends to result in an immediate battle where both animals expose themselves to risk of death. Higher intelligence would instead tell you 'hey if I cooperate with this guy, not only can we both keep all this land - but we can go take over the land owned by animal C'.

There's plenty of evidence of this happening in animals with greater levels of intelligence. For instance chimps tend to join up into groups and then go engage in war with other groups. But they, in turn, lack that intelligence to go even one step further. The same logic of '2 individuals can go kill 1 individual and take their land' leads to 'two groups can join up to go kill one group and take their land.' Presumably some outlier will eventually manage to start realizing this at which point you're well on your way to to the evolution of another highly intelligent species spreading themselves all over the place.

I also think there's even evidence of this in society today. When social order collapses, for instance due to a natural disaster, we turn to some pretty nasty behavior quite quickly even when it's in no way necessary. This seems to suggest cooperation, in and of itself, is not innate - but rather something else drives that cooperation. We can even see it in higher order systems. Corruption is a regular part of all societies at all levels. And that is people simply determining that they can get more by working outside the interests of society than working within it. It's quite easy to see how the same intelligence can drive both corruption and cooperation. Once again, self interest driven by intelligence enabling an accurate assessment of probable outcomes. Do I work just for myself, or do I work with this guy?

---

One argument against this are simple creatures that possess no semblance of higher order thinking, yet cooperate. Examples would include most types of ants. But I think there are too many differences to start considering these sorts of species. They tend to be extremely short lived and have extremely minimal needs relative to the quantity of resources out there -- that's unlike anything we can imagine. Imagine if a single banana could feed thousands of chimps for days. That rather reduces any motivation or incentive for competition. Well, except for when your thousands of other familiars run into a group of thousands of unfamiliars - which does happen and can lead to 'ant wars'.

Firefox still supports Flash, it just doesn't bundle it, unlike Chrome - you have to install the plugin manually. They're only slowly deprecating it starting on FF 69 (the "always activate" option will disappear, so users will have to click to activate it every time: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1519434)

Most government regulation benefits large companies at the expense of small companies, because large companies have more resources to make sure they are in compliance and have the lobbyists who help write the rules. So it's no surprise that new regs here would be helpful to big companies and harmful to small ones.
There must be something in between right? Like... "secure"? Claiming "hacker-proof" isn't just an invitation, it's a challenge. Nothing triggers people like telling them something is %-proof.

The mathematical proof might be 100% solid and hacker proof. The implementation will probably never be.
Here's a regulation that I'd like considered: a default licensing scheme for personal data, that stipulates a 50% revenue share with the user of any money made from the use or sale of their data. The regulation would stipulate the scheme can only be renegotiated in a way that would be impractical to implement at scale (to avoid easy circumventions through TOS and click-throughs).

This would hit the privacy-invading companies where it hurts, in their pocketbooks.
Actually, I was surprised to see yesterday that Google offered this as well, when I set my bank account as a payment method for my Google apps account.

After a bit of consideration I went ahead and did it—I consider Google trustworthy as far as security practices, and to be honest, I didn't expect it to work. Chase forces (!) two step authentication despite my very strong password, and I thought that would prevent Google from logging in.

To my surprise, the process appears to have worked fine—my bank account was verified. I also didn't get a "new sign in from" email from Chase. So I wonder if they actually logged in or did something else...
Most books are not "The Little Red Book", yet "The Little Red Book" managed to help cause a lot of harm.

It's not just the fraction of "bad" content in your system, it's also the level of propagation. Most of the "99.9% benign" content will not draw a lot of eyes per piece of content, while I'd guess "bad" content will draw a lot more eyes, and ergo have a bigger impact.
Thinking out loud here.

This ownership analogy isn't working well, because ownership is a concept invented for physical things, whereas data can be copied. We can keep it, and pass it on. We know from copyright how painful it is, to put ownership on digital "things".

Did data ownership ever work like that in the physical world? Say we see a person walk by, someplace, at some time: is my sensory impression and memory like data? Is it a privacy intrusion to remember that later? Tell somebody? What would be the equivalent online? (Do we have a private "house" online, and public space?)

Hey there!
Spent five years in game ad tech, so here’s my rapid take on your top questions.

Be patient. If you only have tens of thousands of dollars to work with, I wouldn’t be concerned that you’re hitting your CPI but not hitting daily spend.

I’d be looking near term at whether there’s a look alike audience you can generate from your acquired users to improve your targeting (and hopefully lowering your CPI), or if there are sub segments of those installing your app with higher LTV which would allow you to spend higher in those cohorts.

Creative can make a huge difference, so it’s good you’re experimenting there. There’s no magic sauce to that, and sometimes the dumbest looking creative is your top performer.

Last, I’d be looking at which networks and placements are proving best LTV wise for you. Make sure you’re optimizing towards the placements with the best return and pushing those harder. If you’re running freemium, I’d be looking at ARPU per placement rather than just CPI. Only pour gas on the placements where the ARPU is exceeding the CPI consistently.

Good luck!

"But I disagree that it's the responsibility of the language to keep potentially dangerous tools out of the hands of developers."

That is pretty much entirely the point of higher level programming languages.

Like preventing you from allocating and freeing memory on your own, because you might screw it up.

Or removing pointer arithmetic.

Or reducing the scope of mutability.

Or preventing access to "private" object variables.

Many programming language features are basically guards to make it less likely you cut your hand off.

Unlike Amazon’s MTurk and similar microtasking services, Handl stands for machine learning data labeling only. This allows us to acquire, train and qualify our crowd to perform labeling at the highest accuracy level on the market. And we have a different internal workflow for data annotation — crowdworkers don't choose what tasks to perform. They just work properly and get paid based on the time spent and their accuracy reached.

As a non-American, can someone explain to me why the entire constitution wouldn't be applicable upon entering your own country? This makes no sense to me, but it seems to be the way it is?
That's a little disingenous. No doubt you are correct that 99.9% of the user-generated content is benign, but that 99.9% of user-generated content would likely not represent 99.9% of viewer traffic.

If only 0.01% of toxic content by terms of volume is receiving disproportionate attention and focus, not only permissible but actively encouraged by complex opaque algorithms, then it is certainly a much bigger problem then it's meagre character count would otherwise suggest.
As an older Millennial (with no student loans) I don’t think that’s quite accurate.

I distinctly remember a student seminar at high school where they talked about college and how to pay for it. What was drilled into us, over and over, was “not to make a decision based on sticker shock” and that “student debt is the best debt; better than a mortgage even!” And that career earnings with a college degree would melt any debt away without much fuss.

I sure hope Gen-Z Americans aren’t getting fed the same misinformation.
You're moving the argument too far. As complex societies developed without a moralizing god, religion is not necessary for morality. You can't use this to then say religion is unnecessary, as nobody has said morality is the only reason for religion.

Even today, many religious people will say that atheists are incapable of having morals. This is evidence showing that claim is ridiculous, not an attack on religion.

If Facebook wants to get ahead of and control privacy regulation, Zuckerberg needs to create an arrangement with a third party to push his agenda. IE - a charismatic CEO from another company that has a good public image. If it was done correctly, he could be pushing the exact same agenda and be getting kudos instead of (completely justifiable) skepticism. Politicians will be especially susceptible to this kind of proxy-ism.
".. forcing competitors to make their own data exportable to Facebook would in all likelihood benefit Facebook"

What competitors is the author even talking about here? There are, as far as I'm aware, essentially no competitors left to Facebook anymore.

That being the case, I'm not sure that statement is correct at all. On the contrary, it seems like if FB were required to offer an easily exportable data format, that other services would pop up overnight to try and lure people away from FB onto their (hopefully) more privacy conscious platforms. It would also lower the bar for people to make the switch to something else, as they know their friends can switch just as easily without losing their data.

I agree with the rest of the points of the article, but I don't see how data portability can be anything but a net positive for the consumer.

They're likely not stupid enough to have a "list". They have a set of factors and probably tally up some sort of score and search everyone above X. It just so happens that anyone they wanted to put on the list will score X or above. Doing IT security probably gets you a pretty high score just by itself. Add in the fact that he was originally from Eastern Europe and there you are.

I will definitely agree bored cops looking for stuff to do cause a lot of problems.
I just don't understand how Spielberg and others can argue that there is some appreciable difference between a "TV Movie" and "Real(?) Movie". Except for maybe historical reasons? But they just don't make sense any more. Is there really any major difference in the way a movie is created, acted in, etc?

Linux Basics: How to Create and Install SSH Keys on the Shell
Ok, this used to be my thing but I will try to get you an overview.

Ad networks nowadays offer all options. Generally you start with CPC to test creatives and optimize the creative. Once you can get a performing ad or funnel you can start aiming for CPM bidding if it makes sense. Ie. if you have a good CTR, you can reduce your CPC equivalent down to peanuts or at least lower than by paying CPC.

The power of getting into CPM is not only to drive down the cost, but to actually capture all the volume an ad spot can get.

IF you are able to bid a high enough CPM you will win all the "air time", instead of the network having to split yours with other advertisers paying by other means.

CPM/CPC/CTR is worth nothing if you are not converting, so the key to everything is to do do actual measurements and optimization based on everything you can measure. This is more involved than you would like to think and it is REAL grunt work. It is also how you can make tons of money and make your spend profitable.

You need to know what creative is creating more conversions, what OS is generating more conversions. (ie. iOS is more profitable - higher income users), what city/state (similar logic as OS).

I used to advertise on Inmobi and Airpush. Please check if there are others.

Initially you want to spend to gather data and then start drilling down on the best performing targeting.

There are ad optimization tools that can help with this and integrate with different ad networks. I really dont know what's out there now but I am sure there are. These give you a place to add pixel tracking, analyze data and really drill down on the data to see what is making you more money.

This seems like an attempt at classic regulatory capture.

On the one hand it's nice to see FB admitting to not being able to come up with a solution for their hate speech problem. On the other hand, putting it on the government when the government is struggling financially and FB is rolling in money, well, I don't know about that. They ought to reap the whirlwind they created and implode as things like the NZ attack become more common.
