But they don't mean "criminal". It's redundant to say that "criminals stole 3 million records". Of course they're criminals; by definition they didn't steal 3 million records legally.

The fact that they did so via a computer is informative. To be told "hackers stole 3 million records" means that they didn't walk out with a truckful of paper files. They did it on a computer. That's useful information.

Hacker is neutral, which mean it can be used positively and negatively. Nobody thinks that "life hackers" are criminals. That example suggests that the problem with "hackers stole 3 million records" isn't that it implies that all hackers are criminals, but that all hackers hack computers.

Hacker takes on tones in context. "Hackers stole 3 million records" is pejorative. "People hack ventilators to save lives"[1] is complimentary.

If they want to define hacking as never negative, go for it. Or they can (rightly) say that a lot of things dubbed "hacks" really aren't all that clever. It doesn't take a "hacker" to get a Twitter insider to give you somebody's password.

But replacing it with "criminal" in those contexts just doesn't add anything. It's redundant. Be informative: "Default passwords were used to steal 3 million records" or "[People associated with Gang X" stole 3 million records". If you don't have anything more informative, use the passive voice: "3 million records were stolen". Or better: "The theft of 3 million records puts X Bank Patrons at risk".

I've always thought UBI and Universal Health Care could be huge boons to the start-up economy. Loosing health insurance and all of their income has to be a major hurdle for many people taking the step to start their own business.

This is not relevant to whether or not they should be legal.

The prohibition on drug use is a moral issue. If we aren't free to cause deliberate harm to our own bodies, the one thing to which we can be sure we have a clear and unambiguous title, what else can we possibly own or control in life?

I consider the private healthcare market in the US to be the same sort of impediment as a lack of UBI - except that when it comes to healthcare it's an even bigger burden to remain with your current employer if you're going through stressful times (i.e. have cancer).
Ouch. Does B2 Cloud actually go down during this time. That's a major show-stopper. Was actually counting on B2. Not sure anymore.
Is the point here concurrency or parallelism?

If it's concurrency, is it something that could be done in a library?

As for parallelism, I don't think many SPAs and PWAs really need to be able to make full use of multicore for acceptable performance, do they? If you're writing heavyweight number-crunching code, that belongs either server-side or in a native application.
So say you have $1MM of dirty money.

You go pick up a random painting, or scribble on some canvas yourself. Then get your art appraiser friend to say your painting is worth $1MM.

You then sell that painting at auction to another friend for $1MM. Cash only. Private transaction.

But the cash never actually changes hands. Your friend gets the painting, and you claim that the $1MM of dirty cash you had laying around was instead proceeds from the art sale.

Now there are tons of other examples out there with different methods. But it generally all comes down to selling an object that cannot be objectively valued for an all cash price.

I built an open-source B2B SaaS that recently raised its Series A. While I'm not a solo founder, we were a team of 3 up until we raised our seed.

The difference I see is traduora looks like a project, not a company. Sell support! Don't give it away for free. If someone asks me for a bugfix, I show them the ticket in our open backlog & tell them if they want it done faster, they have to pay. Seeing their concern turned in to a ticket shows them that I care, but telling them I prioritize paid fixes tells them it's not a charity. Don't let them feel entitled.

When I worked retail in college, “fuck you money” for my colleagues could be as little as $2,500.

One guy I worked with worked from 5am to 2pm in the mall bakery, took a nap in the backroom, the was a line cook from 4p-midnight. Mostly because of some debts and a situation that prevented his wife from working.
That comparison is obviously nonsense. I don't drive and I can live my life just fine, without staying confined indoors.

If people had to drive 2 hours at 30km/h, they'd be more inclined to quit driving. It's a stupid addiction which is way more lethal than smoking. Better public transport is a much better idea than messing around trying to improve driving. The situation where the majority of the population has (or "needs") a car is ridiculous.

Well, in the author's own words...

Saying the author was overly prioritizing responding to the communications that open sourcing the code allowed to come through shouldn't be controversial. He himself is admitting to it.

My main point is that the author hasn't convinced me that blame should be placed on open sourcing the code. To me that's akin to blaming the messenger. He should instead be looking to why he felt obligated to spend the time supporting "every single ticket", when he himself knew that he was neglecting other aspects of the business side of things.

>Sensitive user data like calendar events don’t pass through our servers.

This could be a selling feature, but it isn't clear from your privacy policy that calendar events don't go through your servers. You might want to make that clearer and upfront in your privacy policy (and possibly make that promise separate from the clause that lets you change the policy at any time, or at least commit to notifying users of changes to the privacy policy).

Also, just generally, you might consider other edits to your privacy policy for clarity. For example, there's a heading that refers to "Personal information we collect" but then "personal information" is never actually defined; instead you define something called "device information". It's unclear (to me anyway) whether device information is the same as personal information. This makes it hard to interpret the rest of the privacy policy, which refers to personal information.
>I turned down the [exploding] offer because the experience got me thinking about the company’s work culture. Were the methods employed by the company to get me to accept the offer indicative of their work culture?

I've never found the interview process to be reflective of the company. I find the interview process to be a random hodgepodge across the entire industry because nobody knows what they are doing. Small/not-big-tech companies literally just have people that googled "how to do a programming interview for ________ language" and skimmed a youtube video, lifted some questions from some articles, and made you solve it in codepen.

Extrapolating that to the actual culture is totally a miss.

> I’m living on about US$10,000 to $15,000 a year.

I'm not sure the article decries frugality. Unless I'm really missing something, I don't think you're right. It just says that being financially independent and having "f-you money" are not the same thing. Which I agree with - having enough money to say no to a bad job is plenty enough "f-you money" but I'd want about 20x more to consider myself financially independent.

I've had fuck you money for a few years in illiquid form. But this year is the first year I started selling stock and crypto and pushed my checking account into seven figures. The psychological impact of that is quite huge.

> improvements that haven't been published yet to make it work in this domain

Are you able to share what some of those are?

> You can choose what parameters to fix and which to keep variable over the training process

Can you explain more about the parametrization? Do your parameters correspond 1-to-1 with schematic parameters like transistor sizes or resistance/capaciance values? Or internal transistor model parameters? Or are they more abstract mathematical parameters?

> I'm not sure I quite understand the distinction that you're drawing and measuring errors in a sensible way here is actually somewhat non-trivial.

Circuit simulator vendors often market their accuracy in terms of "% SPICE Accuracy", and what they mean is if you run a simulation and measure some parameters (usually something like RMS noise voltage or signal-to-noise ratio), then those measurement results will be within 1% of what the measurement results you'd get from running the same simulation with full-accuracy SPICE.

The other way of measuring simulator accuracy is in terms of dynamic range. For example if I have a noisy sine generator circuit where the signal has rms amplitude 1, and the noise is 1e-4 rms, I need to make sure the numerical noise of the simulator is much less than 1e-4.

The first is sort of relevant in your case as a comparison between surrogate and full simulation. The second is an absolute measurement of a single simulator's (or surrogate's) accuracy.

> I believe the error rates Chris quoted are from a smooth distance metric between the signal generated by a full simulation and those generated by the surrogate.

This is interesting because it makes sense as an application-independent metric for measuring the accuracy of your surrogate. It's not immediately clear to me how this would translate to circuit performance accuracy in all cases. However, in one specific case - a Digital to Analog Converter - that 1% smooth distance error could be catastrophic for some performance metrics depending on how it behaves.

That might be an interesting thing for you to consider investigating through the course of your research.

> We are expecting speedups on real-world problems just by using this framework for baseline simulation

Very cool, and I'm looking forward to seeing some data there.

One last question - why did you choose this particular DARPA project? Was it any specific interest/relationship with the circuit design industry? Or did it just happen to be a very cool application of CTESN?

Here is how you can do it with ImageMagick:

`convert -gravity center -background black -compose Copy -resize 800x450 -extent 800x450 input.png output.png`

Sadly I don't know how to do it without specifying the size in pixels. Using `16:9` for resize and extent doesn't do the trick.
The article's specifically using the term to indicate "I don't have to take/keep a crappy job just to survive", rather than "I'm financially independent of all jobs for every monetary goal", and I'd say that UBI fits that basic idea pretty well.
Side question: Apart from this maintenance window, is B2 Cloud reliable? I've heard of problems with the S3 API. Is the "native" API more stable? Would love to know your insight, it will potentially save me a lot of time!

Even if they do realize what kz stands for.
On just meeting a girl in school whose last name was the first name of a lead actor in a popular TV show, I started blurting out “Are you related to X” and my brain was already sending X to my mouth before I realized no, stupid, that’s not how names work.

Turns out she’s a nice girl, and she answered happily, “no, but that would be cool”. I smiled back while I died a little inside.

It’s always possible the person figures out this is not right before they get to the juicy bit. But I’ve been wrong before.

It's relative - it's FU money for anti-exploitation from bad bosses or abusive spouses you might otherwise be forced to work/live with; UBI could give you a decent living in a small town but not in New York City where the Landlord-Rental complex and gentrification is in full effect.

Perhaps, but it was in common usage in 2000 as demonstrated from this quote in the Economist in 2001. Yes, they use the exact phrase, “Fuck-you money” to mean ~$10M or enough to throw off several hundred $K a year in cash.

To be clear, the fine article does bring up the phrase as quite old, and I like his idea of FU-Frugality since you don't actually need to have that much money (or madskilz) to be able to Say No to dumb stuff.

C’s type naming had real value when it was first designed, at a time when the industry hadn’t yet fully standardised on the 8-bit byte, 32/64-bit words, IEEE floating point, etc.

The fact that “int” could be 16-bits on a PDP-11, 32 on an IBM 370, 36 on a PDP-10 or Honeywell 6000 - that was a real aid for portability in those days.

But nowadays, that’s really historical baggage that causes more problems than it solves, yet we are stuck with it. I think if one was designing C today, one would probably use something like i8,i16,i32,i64,u8,u16,u32,u64,f32,f64,etc instead.

When I write C code, I use stdint.h a lot. I think that’s the best option.
From say, December 1995(An arbitrary date) to now, in every single month,you could find posts/emails/comments all over the internet claiming that in that month/year:

- All the good ideas had been taken, no hanging fruits anymore

- It was a bad time to study CS/law/medicine/engineering/math/physics

I wouldn't say it decries FIRE, it explains the difference between FU money and FIRE.

FIRE is fairly boolean: either you have enough to retire or you don't.

(According to the blogger), FU money is a range. If you don't have FIRE money you might still have enough to say "no" to some things but not to others.

A broke 25 year old kid who can still live in Mom's basement is well into FU money.
I have written about this before, but I believe this perspective is worth repeating.

UBI is a fantastic idea in theory. It is more efficient in terms of capital and human resources than the current system, probably by an order of magnitude or more. However, it does suffer one deep flaw that I haven't seen anyone promoting UBI address.

How do we ensure that UBI doesn't become weaponized against the people it's supposed to be helping?

If UBI is passed it becomes the single most important issue to the majority of voters. Someone running on a platform of 'more money' will (even if it's economically a bad idea) likely win elections based on it. If there is an economic need to decrease the UBI payments it will be the death knell of political careers.

But the biggest concern I have is this:

We've already seen big legislation like the Affordable Care Act come under attack and eventually get essentially removed (in that case overwritten by the American Health Care Act on Mar 4, 2017). What would the damage be to the people who come to rely on UBI as part of the general economic system, only to have it rapidly reduced or removed entirely?

I can sympathize for people who have traveled the beaten path for so long they're unsure how to create their own path once it's not laid out in front of them, but I think anyone in that position who laments their situation must lack any creativity or drive to learn how to create their own unique goals.
My point is, if you had to pull `0` in that `for` loop into a variable, would you call it `zero` or `first_index` (or something else actually relevant to the loop)? I'd certainly prefer something relevant to the loop rather than `zero`.

I guess that would be why. I, too, assumed we had an actively maintained Linux port, but if the maintainer isn't doing much these days, a version closer to upstream would be great.

The 7zip author by his own admission does not use Linux, though, so I'd be curious if p7zip might actually be more performant on Linux.

You can already mount B2 as a FUSE filesystem with something like ExpanDrive, then write ZFS raw file vdevs to the B2 FUSE mount, but it's horrifically slow and probably too janky for any real use.
