Is your rent for 8 years really less than $28k? That's about $291 per month. I never thought Netherlands could be this insanely cheap. What region in the Netherlands do you live in?

My rent was about 8.5 times of that last year (for the whole year of 2018, I paid $28,800). I lived in Manhattan (in NYC). The salaries for programmers is higher though. The average base salary (in NYC) is around $144k[1]. With bonuses and stock though, it can easily reach $200k per year. And it gets even higher in the SF Bay Area.

The funny thing is employers are so desperate for programmers that they're willing to hire anyone who can code. You definitely don't need a degree, and you could even be a college dropout. Coding bootcamps have been sprouting like crazy all over the U.S. for the past few years. (And recruiters like Triplebyte helps people without degrees or CS backgrounds get high-paying jobs.[2])

Thanks you for your reply. I will think more deeply about what you say, but unfortunately I have to work :) A quick reaction follows.

> Materialism vs. idealism is not the same disagreement as realism vs. non-realism.

True, but they are deeply related. Non-realism is only weird if you assume materialism. I'm not sure idealism is sufficiently well-defined that one can say that it preserves (or not) your definition of CFD.

> The quantum interpretations that give up CFD are a fundamentally new paradigm, and a ridiculous one IMO.

How do you interpret delayed-choice quantum eraser experiments? This is not a rhetorical question btw, I am 100% open to reading your take.

> For instance, the mathematical universe hypothesis is a new form of idealism, but it preserves CFD and so is realist.

Only with Tegmarks's later-added assumption that only objects describable by decidable computations are real.

DeepMind Safety Blog: Understand Agent Incentives via Causal Influence Diagrams
The press release makes it sound like the entire extent of Assange's involvement in the "conspiracy" was making offhand remarks that the government asserts encouraged Manning:

> During the conspiracy, Manning and Assange engaged in real-time discussions regarding Manning’s transmission of classified records to Assange. The discussions also reflect Assange actively encouraging Manning to provide more information. During an exchange, Manning told Assange that “after this upload, that’s all I really have got left.” To which Assange replied, “curious eyes never run dry in my experience.”

If true, it seems to me like there's no meaningful difference between this and a newspaper approvingly publishing a leak, which I thought was meant to be protected in the US under the First Amendment.

If false, and there's more to it than the press release implies, then the authors of the press release are deliberately trying to make the case sound petty and vindictive, and falsely give the impression that merely making approving remarks about leakers while working with them is a crime - presumably for the chilling effect that this will have on others.

Neither option seems to reflect well on the government.

If DNS-based access control is not sufficient on it's own, then is it really worth it to block DoH (which could have other significant security and privacy benefits) just to retain the possibility of using it? Why not focus on improving those other, already necessary access control technologies and forget about abusing DNS for this purpose, so we get the best of both worlds?
done() is specific to WR system. Essentially we do not know when a step is finished because it may do waiting from DOM element or Ajax requests. So a developer must place done() where he/she is sure that a step has completed.

I can't speak for the others, but when I talk about Reactive monsters, I am talking about needless complexity - both in setup and in usage.

I believe that the relative size of one library vs another (even outside of the reality of caching CDNs) is an unhelpful distraction from the bigger discussion around who should consider using which tools for which jobs, when.

The applications I'm working on are typically for people with usable broadband connections. If you build your site/app correctly, the pictures that are embedded in your content are often bigger than any of the libraries you could choose. However, it's the general responsiveness of your experience that people will judge your speed or "nativeness" by.

I do agree that the examples on the site are somewhat outdated, but the fact remains that there are a lot of nice things to say about that dang left column, with its predictable, intuitive and impressively terse invocations.
Right. Are you saying that you think request should make these changes and go through a major version bump?

The linked issue talks in depth about why they don't want to do that.
I'm also very dubious about the accessibility implications. Hidden checkboxes and labels covering the entire screen don't feel great, though it's not my area of expertise.

They're riding on the brand equity they built up in the past, and on the halo effect of their high-end cars. But there is a well established precedent of luxury goods makers enjoying a large price premium for products of minimally higher physical utility. They are selling socially valuable tokens of prestige more than they are transportation machines, and will be OK in the end.

While I agree with the progression of knowledge listed here I don't think it requires 3 years of foundation to math. If you have a basic understanding of math already you should be able to pick up the theory fairly well in a couple of months of research and application.
Admittedly, I mixed up my browser tabs and thought I was commenting in a HN thread about the BBC story on Assange's arrest. I think I read the Met page directly after posting that comment.

The point still stands — he was arrested on a matter between him and the English court system. That the original reason why he should've appeared in court is obsolete doesn't mean that he could disregard the court.

EDIT: Maybe I misunderstand something. I thought a summons involves being handed a fat envelope and signing a receipt that basically says "I have received <that envelope> and promise to do as instructed within". Isn't that correct? What is a summons, if not that?
The reason why people don't care is because they never actually put their car even anywhere near the limit. In the Netherlands for example you are either driving on a perfectly immaculate and smooth highway at 130 kph max or driving in a busy city. There is nothing to differentiate a €20000 car from a €80000 BMW in these conditions except for the leather seats.
I wondered this as well. It seems like a significant problem when doing this sort of thing.

Amazon 2018 Annual Letter
The Future of Data Storage
For what its worth I would, as a system administrator, I would say falling back to infrastructure administration on the level that the RHCE helps with, won't keep you relevant, unless you're moving into an area which specifically requires it.

I go my RHCE 5 years ago and it was a great primer on how Linux systems run and I recommend it to anyone interested in modern Linux. It will give you many insights which will help you in the future in understanding how Linux works. I was moving over from Windows administration and it was a godsend.

That said this lower level of administration is becoming harder to break into, with automation, containers, ease of use improvements and the cloud, the need for the properly managed system is dwindling. I'm sure there will be a need for a long time, but they generally won't be good jobs. If you have some technical proficiency already I would say there are better places to improve your prospects.

Also the test is hard to prepare for so there is a time commitment and it does expire (I'm no longer an RHCE :() so there is that.

I hope that helps.

That is true, but it's not related to this problem. One important point is that you can't replace the "something" in the equation with whatever you like, for example something2 must be always smaller than something1 (if you add a few c here and there to have the correct units).

If you select an event (i.e. a particular point of space, in a particular time) there is a cone of future events and a cone of past events and a region with the remainder events. The transformations don't change the future and past cones, but they mix space and time, so they must be mixable.
I am not saying tesla specifically. I am saying the reason why gas car beat out the electric a 100 years ago was because of the battery.
Coinbase is launching a Visa Debit Card linked to his crypto wallets
A few reasons:

* Access to decision makers

* Greenfielding a product

* Excitement / fast pace

* Novelty

* Great learning experience before launching your own venture

It's not for everyone, but I've interviewed dozens of developers who only want to work at startups for these reasons.

And for founders, obviously there's the upside of owning a business, the status of being funded, the ability to be your own boss and the potential for massive impact and wealth.
The Fine Line Between Coercion and Care
Better build quality for one. The experience of actually driving a Tesla is undeniably sweet, but the panel gaps, the feeling of cheap half-assedness about details is not (especially at the Tesla price). More broadly price and range need to improve for those of us not willing to spend a premium just because it’s Tesla, and who don’t make only small commutes in a place full of superchargers. For me as well, OTA updates and the willingness of the CEO to go public blaming the driver for an accident is a no-go as well as all-touchscreen controls.
Not familiar, either, but probably not.

The issue isn't birth control (alone), but foremost corporeal autonomy (the woman didn't want him to have "naked" sex, while in your example the man wanted to) and to a lesser extent the health risk.

So not taking the pill is not even close to the question of sleeping without a condom.
We definitely agree on this topic. I'm only going to live for a finite amount of time, and I refuse to spend another microsecond supporting legacy IE.
Also, Rust does not have copy or move constructors/operators; every copy or move is a pure memcpy() (there's Clone for when you need it, but clone is always an explicit call). This simplifies the model a lot.
Disclaimer: this is based on watching the talk and some basic machine learning knowledge. Im no expert.

They have a sparse set of data that is part of an image. They have trained a model to look at the sparse set and make an educated guess about what the full image looks like. They do this by feeding it full images.

The full images you feed into the model thus have an effect on the final image generated. In order to see how large that effect is, they trained different versions of the model with different sets of complete images. Some were images of what we thought a black hole looked like. There is potential that this heavily influences the model and ensures that the output looks like what we expect it to, even if that isnt actually true.

They also trained the model with non-blackhole images. Since the output of the model was approximately the same, this indicates that the resulting output picture doesnt look like what we think a black hole looks like just because it was trained with black hole images. It likely really looks like that.

The model doesn't need to be told what a black hole looks like. The sparse measurements combined with knowledge of how sparse data can be combined to form a generic image is enough. The model learned that the sparse data is not likely pure noise, instead there are shapes and lines and gradients that relate the sparse data points to each other.

Her analogy of sketch artists is good. If you have a functionally complete description and give it to 3 sketch artists from different cultures who are used to different looking people, they will still draw the same person. However if your description isnt actually detailed enough, their sketches will significantly differ as they use their existing knowledge and bias to fill in the gaps with what they think is likely.
Not just CS, but depending on the discipline, math and statistics more generally.
I've used Twitter Archive Eraser[0] many times. I would loathe to think a potential employer would use a tweet, or thread against me. I would also loath a potential partner scouring old tweets to find something unsavoury. Sometimes I say things that I regret later on, and all those tweets add up over time, and can be reframed to blacken my name or otherwise defame me.

“No prior knowledge” and “explain all the rigorous maths” are mutually exclusive in my opinion. I stress this as honest advise to anyone reading.

Rigorous maths is akin to trying to explain to your non technical friends what you do in devops: colloquialise it all you want, it’ll always be a shallow story.
No. The previous commenter is correct.

You didn't understand OP's comment and realized only after I pointed out that HE is the one with the BYOD problem where uninstall can't fix anything. I'm not the one moving the goalposts. His only option is applied outside of the client, at network level. As for the other schools, the effort they put in today bought them a week or two at most. More than enough time for the students to have "workarounds" in place and access anything they want since as you said the admin has no resources to control what's happening on the machine. But you know, it's unwise to pay too much, but it's worse to pay too little; buy cheap, buy twice; poor man pays twice.

They were better off uninstalling Chrome. Firefox at least can be controlled with a config file and a script to do bulk copy, Chrome wants GPOs and without lockdown you have a ton of extensions in the store to make your DNS filtering redundant. I believe the latter is the better option but if a config file is beyond the possibilities of the school admin I expect their browsers to be fully unmanaged and at the mercy of the user. It can't be both ways.

I appreciate that you finally confirm what I said from the beginning: It is a half assed job (because doing it properly "is a luxury"). Uninstalling just kicks the problem down the road and lets "future you" deal with it a few days or weeks later.

> an app which is out of the box functionality

Begs the question why put in effort to install then uninstall it when there was no need for either. I'm not in their head but one thing's for sure, your explanation relies on conflicting argumentation. We're talking about a hypothetical Schrödinger's admin that at the same time both has and hasn't got the resources to do the work.

Cheerio.

I take the bus and I'm neither poor, nor a particularly good environmentalist. They're convenient and cheap and I sorta prefer it to putting my life in the hands of a sleep deprived wage slave. Uber rides feel _consistently unsafe_ to the point I don't even consider it an option anymore.

IME most of the resistance people have to taking the bus is classism. They don't want to share space with "those people".

Looking at what he has charged with (1030(a)(1), 1030(a)(2))...how would those charges stick? He failed to actually access anything.
I don't know the truth of what happened either, but only 2 days after he applied for a residency two girls he slept with went to the police to try to "contact him to get him to get tested for STDs" and this turned into "rape and molestation" charges claiming his condom fell off and he didn't stop having sex with them. I can not tell if a condom falls off either unless I look, and I generally don't have sex with the light on. I'm not sure if I'm weird or not, but the investigation was closed.

This is months after some of the biggest wikileaks releases including "collateral murder" and heading into the release of the Iraq War Logs and State Department Cables. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_material_published_by_...

Then a couple months later, based on no additional information, they reopened the investigation. He ended up going into the Ecuadorian Embassy soon after the release of "Global Intelligence Files" because the USA and private intelligence agencies were after him.

None of this has anything to do with the rape charges though. He is being sent to the USA over the 2010 Manning releases because he was communicating with Manning while she was stealing the docs. If she wasn't such an attention whore, she wouldn't have even been arrested. She bragged about it on IRC...

Same problem: none of those funds have several billion sitting around they can access. It would crash the market for all other stocks if he offered everything for 3 billion : At half price there are funds with enough assets to liquidate their other holdings and buy. It would send the market down significantly. There just isn't enough free cash in the world to actually buy him out.

Presumably then, in your area, buses are superior.

This is exactly what I am talking about. They are not everywhere, and they should be.

I prefer buses too when they actually work.

I tend to take public transport a lot more off peak. At peak time I vastly prefer cycling or driving depending on the weather because I find being crammed next to other people disgusting (a failure mode unique to public transport).
Primitives vs Protocols.

Encryption primitives rarely fail. The protocols build on top of them seem to consistently fail.
But that is revealed to be the truth. We know that Trump had information about the upcoming releases by way of Roger Stone and Jerome Corsi (who claims he successfully predicted the releases by revelation from God [1]).

We also know that the release was politically motivated, because it was the only time ever that Wikileaks has drip-fed a release over the course of a month, and it just so happened to be the 30 days prior to the 2016 election, and each release came with the promise that juicier and more scandalous things were coming later (which, btw, never came: the emails were totally benign). If that isn't politically motivated, what is?
