It's a bit tongue-in-cheek to compare this to Edward Kmett's FP Complete articles on Cellular Automata, but they're a really interesting read if you want to get your feet wet with some advanced Haskell programming

https://www.fpcomplete.com/user/edwardk/cellular-automata

The series began as trying to explain the value of the Store Comonad for generalizing the "Cellular Automata are Comonads" notion, but then dipped into how to build resumable folds to implement CRC hashing for pngs.

The final article pulls a really great trick out where by writing down a very general type for cellular automata as comonads it was possible to automatically generate code which generalizes CAs to stranger topologies (like a cylinder).

The final code including the CA code, the strange topologies, the PNG encoder, and a webserver to display the whole thing online is all probably shorter than the Java CA code would have been here.

> Companies which don't do this, lose.

People lose. As in, real flesh and blood people. Everyone seems to think, "Ah, they'll just sell it to the highest bidder." You know what, screw that belief, and screw those people who think that way. You do that, you become evil. End of story. Should it be the company's job to ensure this doesn't happen as best as possible? Yes. Does the lack of a reward justify the demonstrably evil behavior of selling vulnerabilities? No. Sick and tired of the idea it's ok to sell a vulnerability wherever the money is. When is the computing community going to step up and put an end to morally wrong behavior like this? We need to ostracize those people, not condone and justify such behavior.

Jokes aside, I've wondered about this as well. Especially if you treated the interrogatee in a mellow manner while he or she was captive, then slipped in some doses without them knowing, and then set the music right, or had them shacked up in some Swiss chalet with a wine cellar and a breath taking view. People spilling their guts on MDMA is a function the environment with the drug is a catalyst. And it's not like you're completely out of your mind; you are well aware of your surroundings and you would almost certainly know you've been detained, which would taint the whole experience.

of course. Just making sure anti-business image the country has is emboldened even more. 75% tax on top earners and now this. It's not that 75% tax hurts many people. The only thing it really does is propagating france image as a country that treats capitalism, investment and private initiative with the highest dose of suspicion. Thats nit a society thats enetrprenually friendly. It's almost funny how many french i know that prefer to do art and fashion in new york than paris just because france would penalize them for being succesful. And definitely it's not france that gains in the long term due to short sighted and populist left wing policies like this.

I skimmed these pages as well, and it seems obvious now that you can no longer trust a legal system to protect your privacy. We (hackers) need to combat this with a technical system.

I would also note that it seems incredibly clear that Ladar Levison knew what was at stake: for himself, for Snowden, for his company, and for his users. His decision to shutter his doors was his last option to protect their 4th amendment rights and I'm absolutely amazed he made the right call here.

I think a process-isolation model, possibly with capiscum, is more interesting than the LXC-like "VM model" (which does seem messy to me). I don't need an init process and fake hardware inside the container. Just Unix process tree isolation.

For example, I think BSD jails have the option to use host

Just two quick tools I put together in JS that I'm annoyed no one else has done yet. One just takes some delimited text and creates a Bootstrap HTML table out of it and the other generates a BCG style "growth-share" matrix that can then be screenshotted and used wherever.

In Haskell it's generally considered bad form to omit type annotations for your top-level functions. There is even a compiler warning for this sort of thing. Thankfully, the Haskell plugins for good editors (vim or emacs) provide hotkeys to automatically insert an inferred type annotation for a function you specify.

Your math implies 64k after taxes, which is only 20% and is completely wrong.

The effective tax rate in Cali after federal and state is closer to 40%. That leaves 48k after taxes. Take out the 24k you blew on the 2k/mo apt and you're down to 24k and you haven't even put food on your plate or paid for transportation costs.

Take out 4k for food assuming you don't eat at nice restaurants. Take out 2k for a train pass and maybe another 0.5k for other transportation when the train isn't adequate. You are now down to 17.5k and you haven't saved anything or done anything 'to play'.

There is a reason the poverty level is around 70k in that area. 80k looks good on paper but in reality it's crap. It's about parity with a 37k salary in Austin, TX. http://www.bestplaces.net/cost-of-living/san-francisco-ca/au...
>>Web development is, in the most part, the easiest kind of development. In 15 years of doing this stuff I can state with some authority that 99% of websites are simple CRUD applications. Web development doesn't challenge your coding skills much. Occasionally it does, but only if you get in to either a product company or an agency that does fun things. Most don't.

I understand what you're trying to say in your post as a whole, but I hate the part I quoted because it comes across as extremely elitist, so much so that it takes away from your overall message. It's sort of odd because it perpetuates the weird hierarchy within the software development industry, where assembly coders look down upon C developers, who look down upon C++ developers, who look down upon C# developers, who look down upon web developers, and so on.

My take on hoon is to use[2] the alphabetic names of the line noise operators to create words and use them to make a non-symbolic (if you take alphanumeric characters as non-symbolic) functional, executable conlang[3].

To me it's what Liebniz was looking for[1], but with funny looking words that make no sense to the uninitiated, which use the 'linguistic nodules' that cgyarvin is hoping to utilize, without the symbolic name decoding that using line noise requires (if you use the names in [2] rather than the line noise symbols).

I personally think hoon looks like absolute brilliance, but I can't say yet that I've had the pleasure to write anything in it, which is the best thing to take that shiny feeling away by actually trying to use it.

But as art, I think it's perfect.

The biggest issue with single founders isn't what most people think. Its not about getting more work done, or that you can't physically output as much code as two people. Most startups spend lots of "wasted" time going the wrong direction anyway.

The biggest issue for solo founders is the mental toll of a startup. Startups are hard, and you need that second mind to help you pull through the hardest parts. When you have two people, getting through the soul-crushing lows is a little easier because odds are both of you won't be miserable at the same time.

Every act an employee takes and every word they speak while on the job is directly attributable to their employer. No exceptions, no excuses, ever. It doesn't matter if it was against policy, and it doesn't matter how many employees there are. The company must take responsibility. It reflects extremely poorly on the corporate culture of Yahoo and Tumblr that you don't recognize that.
Not true. The most obvious example of a man embarking on a similar project - which people did care about - was Jonathan Coulton, who rose to fame at least partially thanks to his "thing a week" project and the output from that.

I don't think it'll be 40% for someone making 80k per year. The effective federal rate on the first 80k is around 20%. The CA rate should be 9-10%. Maybe another 5% for soc sec. But I also made a very generous assumption re: apartment spend. I think my point stands.

It's an useful tool.

However, as a commercial product, I don't see it as successful. Reason why is nobody stays up at night worrying about whether their links still work. (don't get me wrong, it's BAD if they don't work. but it's not what they're worry about at night). They worry if their site goes down for a long period of time. They worry about DDOs attacks. They worry about search engine penalties. But rarely do they worry about links not working. Why does this matter? Because that means people will rarely seek for your product. You will need to do a lot of convincing/educating potential users.

Time for some fun with binomial probabilities!

Assuming I interpret the actual problem at hand correctly, this is how we formulate it statistically.

We have an event that occurs with probability p = 1/1000000, given an accident (of which there were 13).

The probability of having zero catastrophic events, given that we have observed 13 accidents, is (1-p)^13 = .99987

(For some real hair-raising fun, try this calculation with the success/failure rate of a typical condom.)

Note that this is a purely frequentist interpretation and ignores any Bayesian inference (ie, we assigning a weight of 0 to our Bayesian prior, which is atypical). It's not a very robust way of modeling the situation, for a number of reasons.
So, if I'm getting this straight: if I'm an employer who's curious to know what's inside an encrypted partition on one of my contractors' laptops, I can simply call the police, say I suspect there's company data there, the police and prosecution don't need any more evidence to bring this to trial, and then the judge will likely order said contractor to decrypt the partition? Then if it's just his personal porn collection, everyone shrugs and life goes on?

Diabetes the new norm? Say it aint so
That estimate is a little bold: we can reject the hypothesis that the probability is smaller than 1/260 with p-value 0.05 (good confidence), but with your threshold of 1/26 the p-value becomes poor.

Note that due to the lack of selection bias (battery fire was already among the top security concerns before the accident), we don't actually need a very stringent p-value, so we can be fairly confident that the probability is greater than 1/260.

But my point was that even with probability 1/260, it's likely to be much higher than for gas cars, or you wouldn't have to dig up 20-year-old articles about "freak accidents".
