You don't actually need to transmit the data off a backup battery, just store it and ship it out once a proper power supply is reattached. (You lose the data if someone destroys their phone, but that's a much narrower range of scenarios than "turn it off, but for real".) I don't recall GPS recievers being particularly power-intensive, but there's plenty of other sensors to log, most notably the microphone.

You can't understand because you're not reading between the lines. The surface message is self-contradicting, but the underlying is clear-cut.

They want a world where advertisers are not allowed to direct messages at their outgroup or the things their outgroup like. You will be allowed to sell perfume to women by putting a model on your billboard, but the same model can't sell ferraris to young men. Shaving razors shall follow only the Gillette model, no glorification of masculinity. Want to advertise your engineering position on FB? Better prominently advertise your diversity programme and paid maternity leave and nothing else. Definitely don't mention beer night.
You're only 1/4 related to grand children. A strategy of living a long life to help raise a grandchild means that 3/4 of your effort is promoting someone else's genes. Now what if the strategy of those other people is to have many more children, possibly with many different partners, with a relatively diminished per-child investment, reliant on someone like you to help raise those children. Who's going to out-compete whom?

I'm not saying the second strategy is better, just pointing out that the first strategy is self-limiting. Which means we can't even begin to understand the benefits and viability without answering more complex questions; questions we don't yet have answers to.

Also, humans are the only known species, extant or extinct, which exhibits significant non-kin altruism.[1] There's no strong theory for how this emerged. Which means there are some very important dynamics to human evolution (and evolution in general) that we're completely ignorant to--we don't even know what the questions are, let alone the answers.

[1] The most popular mammals used for comparison to humans, bonobos and naked mole rates, are organized as matriarchies--the females are sisters, somewhat like ants and bees. The above-average altruism they exhibit is easily explained by basic Darwinian genetic evolutionary theory.

It'll let you have more than one FIDO key.

That happens for two related reasons. Firstly the WebAuthn spec. says to allow this, I haven't read the U2F stuff because it wasn't formalised like WebAuthn, but I expect that instructed implementers to allow multiple keys too.

Secondly, because it's obviously the Right Thing, which is why it's a recommendation in the specification, the U2F and WebAuthn specifications explain how everything works properly with multiple keys.

* When you register a new key, the site provides cookies from any other keys that you've already registered. Your browser asks keys if they recognise those cookies, only a key that doesn't recognise any cookies should register as otherwise you're creating pointless duplicates.

* When you sign-in the site provides as many cookies as you've registered keys - each cookie only works with the key which picked it, but the keys can tell if a cookie is theirs, so whichever FIDO key you've got, it should recognise one of the cookies sent and you're in.

This is probably also true for government ID in the unusual case that somebody has more than one.
That’s a good point, I was specifically addressing “stateless auth” as an issue of persisting authentication related state on the client side vs. the server side, as opposed to “the authentication system has no state”, since that’s usually the framing of the question.

In general authentication/authorization isn’t just a binary in or out. For example, you might have to reauthenticate to access password or 2FA settings in your account, so now you have multiple authenticated states. So I made my comment from the assumption that you probably need to decorate the user’s authentication “state” with extra information for your service. In those cases, I was suggesting to only carry that info in the token if you need to cross service boundaries with it, such as if you have multiple front end micro services operating on independent data stores.

St Lucia Day: How and Why Swedes Celebrate Lucia
I get the logic, but I also think it's a bit of a stretch. They may unknowingly consent to that, but you have to go out of your way to read the Terms of Service to consent to that specifically and I would imagine most people are just trying to provide or fix lyrics so others can easily find them, not so Genius can have them exclusively as that's certainly not how most users think.

It also brings up a good point on whether Genius should have exclusive rights to something in which they gained that exclusivity from uninformed "consent" of their users' efforts. If transcribed lyrics are copyrightable, why should Genius hold that right and not the users' when Genius are claiming that right by hiding their Terms of Use as a tiny link made to seem like it's part of the website's copyright/trademark notice[0]. I'm inclined to believe that Genius are purposefully being deceitful in how they link to their Terms of Use to avoid flack.

Two questions.

It's difficult to evaluate CYC given Cycorp's secrecy. Domingos called it something like a colossal failure, which is hard to believe, but it's hard to argue given how little info gets out of Cycorp. So does Cycorp have any interest in changing this? Do they care about improving their reputation in the AI community?

How would you compare Cyc (both the knowledge base and the inference engine) with current efforts in the semantic web? Is OWL/RDF just too simple to encode the kind of logic you think common sense needs?
This is pretty much the main reason to shop at Costco. I’m not really convinced anything is actually a good bulk deal. It’s just a matter of having a place to shop where you can safely grab stuff and have a decently high floor on quality.

this is a pretty paranoid view. the restrictions only apply to very specific categories where there have been laws against discrimination for many decades. perfume and razors are not among them.
This is a work culture issue. Not sure if even the government can really help with this, unless they made new contract laws. Check out pre-school teachers situations (ho-iku-shi) in Tokyo, underpaid, overworked (without pay). We did a calculation once when my wife was working as one. She has a graduate's degree and was making a real wage of about $4/hr working 12 hour days. Luckily after two years her work culture allowed her to quit :0 Because in that work culture you can only quit at certain times of the year...

Other than tests in the US, I'm pretty sure it was only used in war zones (North Korea and Vietnam). To me that's pretty nonobjectionable (not that I necessarily agree with the decision to have those wars, but if we're going to invade a country I'd rather we do it right). The Air Force's version (SR-71) actually has quite a few fans, even amongst people that aren't fans of mass surveillance. It surprises me that even if you don't agree with the use of the airplane, you can't even see why people would be willing to work on it. There's always going to be people that want America to have the biggest/best/most tools in its arsenal. Even if the events going on in SE Asia weren't a direct threat to the US, the A-12 was designed less than 20 years after Pearl Harbor. America got its ass kicked by due to inadequate knowledge of a foreign military's movements. It was that generation's equivalent of 9/11.

Anyways, the slogan is a bit tongue and cheek anyways. I don't think that sort of dark humor is uncommon, especially in military/intelligence circles. Check out some of the NRO mission patches and slogans. Some are definitely designed to troll Illuminati/New World Order conspiracy theorists.

Economy of scale, fixed costs spread over more reporters, lower cost of capital. It’s cheaper to be big.

If you think insurance fraud is anywhere near as criminal as murder, then I worry for whatever juridiction you live in.
Specific categories such as employment and housing, for example? Urgh, fine, pretend my examples were about bachelor pads. Same deal: don't target the young men who actually buy them, because we don't like those people and we don't want any part of the economy to cater for them.

There is no material change in my argument.

1. Move to California and make sure you are payrolled in California under California law (not remote contractor to out of state company).

1a. When/If joining a new company, list your side projects in the "Pre-existing IP" paperwork, to be excluded from their ownership. Read carefully and make sure it's not mistakenly placed in the list of things that they get a free license to.

2. Make sure your side project is not in the same line of business as your employer's.

3. Make sure you use your own time and equipment for your side project.
I see a lot of the same with PE firms buying companies - "<PE firm> buys <beloved company that was failing> and lays off half the workers! Evil, evil PE firm!" Now obviously there's a fair amount of the time when PE firms do dividend recaps and other financial engineering that harm the companies, but there's plenty of time when they trim the fat from a failing company and save a lot of jobs. That doesn't make for a nice clickbaity headline, though.

The event loop is single threaded. Async tasks are executed on I/O threads which are configurable. So if your app is I/O bound, the event loop will typically dequeue tasks pretty quickly allowing lots of requests.
Wow I didn't know it became that bad. He came across as an egostic person but I didn't know he's more than that...

Nope. You don't even need to know you issued those tokens or their state. You don't ever assert a state or check it. You force its recompute via cache bust.

You don't need to know a token of jakelazaroff. You don't need to know its state. You don't even need to know if it exists.

You know that a token associated with jakelazaroff iphone if it exists will have a tag jakelazaroff-iphone because every token associated with <user> iphone will always have a tag <user>-iphone since you always tag a token of any <user> on an iphone with a tag <username>-iphone when you issue the token.

Eh, that gets you things big enough that someone bothers to send a bug report. Startup performance, mis-clicks, etc, will be missed. Not to mention ragequits that don't produce a bug report...

The problem is that devs reeeeally need a mix of very specific data for debugging, and very aggregated data for prioritization... There's all kinds of cool differential privacy tools for doing things like this, but no way for users to know or trust that they do what's claimed on the tin.

A couple of years ago I implemented the Google Maps location API which at the time said it would give you a consistent location_id for each physical location in the world, a couple of years later and a bug report is still open and it's still not consistent. It's to the point now where I won't touch the Google Maps API anymore because of the price and lack of fixes.
One of the best features of that era was the network pages - your college email gave you access to an area solely for your college, where events could be organized, had a posting board, I think its own gallery, etc. When it went public-access this was among the first things to go, replaced with the more generic groups.

> 2. They never checked if the companions went somewhere silly to warp them back to where they should be

In a modern open-worldish game, this is pretty nontrivial.
If the store is able to continue to give away books for free, then obviously the first store that had to charge for the books isn't generating enough value.

Unless the end-game for the 2nd store is to price out every single book store, then obtain a monopoly. But then anti-monopoly laws should come into place.

But if the end-game for the 2nd store is to subsidize their cost via a different business - then it's the same as a newspaper using classifieds to subsidize their subscription business. You can't then argue that another newspaper that charge for subscriptions goes out of business is unfair.
> Watch out for the next positive article about a person or organization

The only reason this heuristic works is because news companies have become so untrustworthy that when left to their own devices they are only capable of writing negative articles about people. They never take the initiative to report positive news when a person or organization merits it. Even when a person or organization deserves praise, the media finds a way to spin it into a "if it bleeds, it leads" story.

The bank bailouts is distinct from Quantitative Easing. The former was government backed loans to large banks. The latter is the Federal Reserve buying extremely over-valued financial assets (over-valued because of fraud), and then just financial assets in general, in order to prop up the price of these assets. The former was probably a necessary evil, but it should have come with more changes. The latter is less clear. Because of the massive amounts of fraud that occured, many citizens pension funds were extremely exposed to junk financial assets. So the Fed decided they couldn't let the market correct itself. But a better solution would have been a market correction combined with a direct stimulus to the lower and middle class.
There are tons of theorems that are most easily proved by showing that some statement holds for primes, and extending it through some sort of multiplicative structure to all numbers.

Except that the very concept of a 10X developer, no matter what they themselves may say about it, is disgusting; it's a person who has, even if willingly, distorted their work/life balance to a point where they "go the extra mile" as management would put it; usually involving working off hours, working extra hours, working from home on weekends and evenings, or eschewing general life activities in favor of doing more work.

I know this is sacrilege to say this in our system and even moreso in our profession, but this is not good for you. I don't care how much you like it, I don't care how much money you're gaining from it, I don't care if you're the most willing of willing to have ever willed. You're abusing yourself in exchange for money, and that's the end of it and it shouldn't be allowed.

You should have a salary commensurate with your skill set, and you should not have to eschew anything resembling a proper work/life balance to do it.
From prior experiences, such as using Python from 1999 through 2005 and Common Lisp between 2005 through 2012, you have an advantage when recruiting for a language considered "exotic" by standards of the given day.

At two different startups circa 2007 and early 2008, we received many, many very high quality candidates with a one sentence description posted to the right place (e.g., planet.lisp.org) saying, "Use Common Lisp in Seattle."

I've had comparable experience with that approach for Rust in Vancouver, BC last year when looking for devs that were merely "familiar" with the language, even if no professional work experience with Rust but "Ideal Candidates" having "Rust, Go, C++, C, Python or Lisp family of languages". That was posted via this-week-in-rust.org.

That one was posted with relatively poor posted salary, yet we still saw high quality candidates for the senior level role. The intermediate level dev that was ultimately hired apparently worked very well for the company after I left.
I find it a bit surprising that such an old version of the app still works today, but the fact that they haven't broken the backend in over 3 years means I'm not too worried that they'll do so before my hardware bites the dust.
