This is not formal logic; it is human language. Deciding that a particular sequence of words implies something is interpretation.

Yes, p => q implies !q => !p regardless of any opinion you hold. But you have decided that the original phrase means p => q, and that is interpretation. And one which is rather wrong, since everybody, including yourself, who reads the original phrasing will understand it differently.
A recall will never happen. California is too big of a state, which would make a recall effort too expensive to achieve even a respectable failure, and most people don't care two shits about the NSA. If people are unhappy in California it's the governor who gets recalled, not a senator.
Although not related, Iron Maiden was the first band I ever saw live back in 1984 on the World Slavery tour, Long Beach California. Good to see them taking advantage of tech to decide where to tour. Going after music pirates is a wasteful endeavor.
And when feminists support that model of "benevolent sexism", they indirectly support a misogynistic society.

Or we could always redefine that no true feminist would ever say that a woman are more needed (or is better) at taking care of a young child than men. With public platforms like twitter and facebook, organization could easy purge members which such statements if they wanted.
This is a perfect example of an "unsexy problem" that needed to be solved. With so many people building education apps, it's great that someone decided to take the time to work out some of the unsexy underlying issues in the space that were slowing the pace of innovation. Standardizing and surfacing educational data may not be the sexiest work, but it can spur the pace of innovation across the entire domain.
Math sites are blocked as unsuitable for kids?!! That's utterly absurd. The British government needs to abandon this puritan initiative.
For all the purported evils of copyright infringement and intellectual property theft, I wonder if today's children will grow up with such an attitude that will make the Homebrew club seem like 90s-era Microsoft. With today's technology, they can create and share without (from what they can tell) any cost. By the time they're old enough to realize that while nothing is free, they'll have been naturally inclined to see that creation and distribution doesn't have to be a zero-sum game. That seems like an attitude that would be harder to get from the supply-and-demand lessons you learn from a lemonade stand.
The site is purely a sneak peak for artists.

As for what it is, August is an iOS platform (with a very minimal web side to it) that builds sustainable relationships around media; relationships that unify and amplify the discovery, distribution, monetization, engagement, social experience, etc of digital media.

How? Simply, the platform we have built, and the thousands of artists who have created it.
> But anti-intellectualism is not cool. Saying "she did a little dance and that's all there is to it" or even "she's just being young" is more obnoxious than the fact that she did it.

It isn't anti-intellectual to question the validity of any analysis. Your argument, taken to its conclusion, provides as much protection for the previously mentioned analysis of Miley Cyrus's dance being a grounded argument to make, as it does for my claim that she was subconsciously invoking the goddess Kali.

There's definitely an app, and it's definitely a social network—though perhaps if this or something like it catches on we'll require new terminology, as this model where every user gets categorized 'artist', 'curator', 'listener', 'tastemaker', 'consumer', etc. doesn't map very well to the one-size-fits-all peer networks we're used to.

As far as the sales channel is concerned, it's difficult to say. Somewhere between "we'll figure it out as we go" and "as long as we're taking down Facebook/Instagram, Twitter, Soundcloud, Tumblr, G+/YouTube, Vimeo and Myspace, we might as well also go after iTunes, Ticketmaster, Goldenvoice, Behance, content licensing, booking, event management…"

An old instructor of mine who was in logistics in Vietnam used to use suppressive fire to get his butt out of trouble. In fact, he used to say it was best to scare the enemy and not kill anyone in that particular situation. (His purpose was not to directly kill anyone.) He thought that killing someone's best friend was a great motivation for an enemy to go hero-mode on you, but instilling fear always worked out to his advantage.
> Strong evidence of yield plateaus in some of the world’s most intensive cropping systems

They use complicated theories to explain lower yield. But they totally ignore subsidies which motivate farmers to grow less. Modern 'organic' agriculture also lowers yield and is ignored in this study.
You're hitting on an important theoretical point with regards to income taxes, which is that do it yourself work is effectively subsidized because the fair market value isn't imputed for taxation purposes.

Imputing taxes is a can of worms, but it doesn't help your position. If such taxes existed, you'd be taxed on the fair market value of the child care duties performed by your wife.

i think you missed his point completely.

there is a industry with a lousy product, that can make a much better offering instantly with very little effort, but they are to afraid to do so.

the consumer who opt for piracy is not actively choosing to harm the content creators. but the ecosystem that preys on those content creators is killing itself by preventing people from even buying their products with comfort, and in doing so is harming the content creators.

think about all the bands that started to distribute their own music. nin is way better off. as well as their fans. the only casuality is the record labels and others that used to prey on the band, who used to provide a benefit for the fans when distribution was physical. now, all they do is screw the content creators and fans in a vain attempt to remain relevant and siphoning dollars as they are used to.
That's nonsense. It merely implies that they think focusing on the tools is more effective than focusing on the people using the tools. That may or may not be good strategy, but it hardly implies that they think the guns are "evil".

Roughly nobody thinks that guns go out and murder people all alone. There is a person pulling the trigger, and everyone knows this. The only reason people pretend as if other people somehow "don't know" this is because they want to shape the conversation for political purposes by painting their opponents as morons.
I think it's telling to look at what the design goals of the AK were when it was first conceived:

1) It was to be the primary weapon of the World Wide Socialist Revolution. That means it had to operate reliably in every environment on Earth, from the Siberian tundra to the jungles of Central America to the deserts of the Middle East. It would have to work flawlessly in a -50C blizzard and a +50C sandstorm, as well as in near 100% humidity while caked in mud.

2) It was to be cheaply produced by the million in not particularly advanced Soviet factories, by people who were not highly trained, then shipped to all corners of the Earth.

3) It was to be used by guerrillas, generally poorly trained peasants, fighting to overthrow professional US-backed armies (see: Cuba). Thus the rifle had to allow untrained fighters to go toe-to-toe with professional warriors, given the constraints of the fight as it was imagined: hit-and-run, ambushes, etc.

When you look at the number of design criteria it had to fulfill that had nothing to do with its merits as a marksman's weapon, it's amazing how well Kalashnikov achieved what he set out to do. The fact that it's still the primary weapon of insurgents, rebels, and terrorists 60+ years later is testament to that. As an engineering feat, it's an absolute marvel.
The organization opposing surveillance is the one putting the button there. Its pure propaganda on their part.
As a former front-end engineering manager that has screened, interviewed, and hired tons of developers for large corps and small startups, I hear this guy's frustration and have felt it myself. I've often stepped into interviews for other departments and teams that had no FE developers to give them a hand.

At the same time, I've come across far too many developers who assume "front-end" only meant HTML, CSS, and jQuery.

NOTE: Not JavaScript, but jQuery, which are very, VERY different things. The author does himself a disservice by citing a jQuery example instead of a general JavaScript one. I get how prevalent jQuery is, but if you can't describe some of the inner workings of JS to me, then I may weed you out. That's just my preference though; other hiring managers differ.

In my particular cases, we needed FEs that knew JavaScript and server-side scripting languages - to the extent of being able to write some presentation-layer logic if necessary.

So whenever I've coached technical hiring managers who have no experience with front-end development, I'd tell them to go right ahead and ask questions on general programming logic. Even if the candidate's verbal answer is incorrect, the thought process behind trying to answer it can be helpful.

FYI, the type of phone screen questions I would ask are:

+ Why is a doctype significant? (HTML)

+ What is the box model? (CSS)

+ Describe the event model. (JavaScript)

(You'd be surprised at how many purported front-end engineers get these wrong.)

These were accompanied by general programming logic questions. They all designed to assess the developer's ability to communicate and explain, and not the developer's technical skill. For that, I looked at code samples and the results of a take-home code exercise. And the specificity and difficulty of the questions would depend on the stage of the interview and level of candidate's experience. The "What is the value of 'this' in a method?" question is a great one too.
The threat model will eventually include these things if automatic unlock becomes the norm. Why be the first to experience theft at the hands of someone savvy enough to have an EMG mirror. It's not hard to make an EMG mirror for bluetooth frequencies with two arduinos or rasberry pi. It's literally a weekend project. I don't know why you're saying this attack requires Ocean's Eleven style planning. It's more of an amateur hobby project than anything intellectually clever.

And you can buy one for less than $100:

Price of macbook + tv + jewelry, etc, etc, etc minus $100

Seems likely that you are gonna be robbed if anyone with mal-intention has any grain of understanding how easy it is to mirror an auto unlock signal...

Was packaging gems with ruby a good decision?
The entire setup was a sham from the start. The reason HSBC didn't deny everything is because publicly being fined and saying nothing about it was the condition on avoiding prosecution. Remember, the PATRIOT Act can give bankers 20 year jail sentences even if they did not know what was happening. Jailing innocent people from crimes committed by basically random other people is absurd and yet that is what Congress has put in place.

If your choice, as a banker, was to piss off a government hell-bent on making you a scapegoat and risk going in front of a jury of poor people who hate bankers, charged of violating a law it's impossible not to violate, and which carries a 20 year jail sentence, you would agree to a deal as well.

The US allegations were ridiculous anyway. They claimed HSBC "knew" there was money laundering taking place merely because money was moving from Mexico to America. I'm sure HSBC execs, having read newspapers and watched TV, were quite confident there was drug money in that stream. This is quite different to knowing precise account numbers of drug cartels with a high degree of certainty. I don't recall the latter being alleged, however.

I have been a front-end engineer for over a decade, and if I were hiring for a position a decade ago I would understand and agree with your points. However, with the breadth and depth of skills required for great front-end engineering today, I would feel very uncomfortable hiring someone who only had the arcane skills required to "get the job done" on the front-end. If hiring for a smaller company, I would be concerned about this person's ability to contribute to more than just the tasks in their silo. If hiring for a larger company, I would be concerned about this person's potential for future growth. Also, it's usually apparent from projects or employment history that someone can do what's required on the surface for front-end work, so why would I waste interview time going over details and minutiae in that area? I'd rather take the opportunity to find out if they're a solid engineer as well.

Thanks, glad you like it. We're putting this out there to figure out what kinds of info developers would like about how tools are actually used by others. Let us know via the Contact tab there if you have some questions or think you have some problems data like this could solve.

Binary code is difficult to analyze. Typically, it's taken a skilled person with a disassembler and knowledge of the software in use to figure out the kinds of things we're showing here.

We've built a custom similarity engine that does this on a large scale. It takes each binary apart into snippets, then looks up snippets that are close to those representative features, and finally combines the results to return a list of what code was found in that binary. Attach that to a firehose that is delivering thousands of apps per day, and you've got SourceDNA. It was extremely challenging to develop, and we're proud of what we've built.

We've found that most developers are interested in finding out what others are doing, best practices, etc. I personally find it more enjoyable to apply machine learning to track code instead of users, which is the more common place big data is applied.

From a mechanical action standpoint, the AK looks more like the American M1 Garand than it does the MP43/44.

> Just like the Walther PP, Russians basically copied and (slightly) improved upon the design.

You probably have a stronger case here, though, again, when it comes to the specifics, the Makarov has a parts count nearly half that of the Walther.

Really, firearms design is incredibly iterative. If we're talking service handguns, for example, there are really fewer than a half-dozen designs that nearly every modern, full size service handgun made today derives from in some manner.
I have spent the last 3 or 4 years self-studying mathematics, and what got me interested in it is essays from PG, articles by Yegge, and most of all reading SICP (and then reading "What is mathematics?", which in a lot of ways seemed a natural continuation of SICP). The argument he builds is really, really, weak:

He invents some concepts like "Lisp tradition" out of blue sky, based on a sample of three people, who he misrepresents and who aren't even serious Lisp programmers (except PG), and then fantasizes what he thinks the "traditions" (my ass, like old Lisp masters are convincing young adepts to not learn math or something) represent, so discussing this seriously is beside the point. Is the average C programmer better at mathematics? If anything, the books introducing Lisp programming go much more into modelling complicated domains, including mathematics, compare SICP or PAIP to K&R or your typical programming intro book nowadays.

Then, he seems to imply that focusing on recursion is somehow less mathematical. Recursion is a lot like mathematical induction, and inductive definitions are ubiquitous in mathematics. Also, a lot of mathematics is non-constructive and mathematicians aren't in general that interested in doing efficient computations, so it's more about knowing algorithms and numerical methods. So his big revelation reduces really to the fact that people doing numerical computations should learn numerical methods, or basically "know your domain", hardly a revelation. Or is it just a cry for programmers to learn more mathematics? But then the guys he criticizes have already done a much better job encouraging people to become interested in mathematics.
It is the final inner loop that is problematic.

Instead, your graph should comprise movies and actors as vertices (edge = actor was in a given movie), and to get the Bacon number you just halve the distance in this graph.

So you code would look like

for bucket in hashtable:
add node for bucket
for actor in bucket:
if actor not in graph, add a node for actor
add an edge between actor and bucket
add an edge between bucket and actor

If each movie contains exactly K actors, and there are N movies, then your graph has O(NK^2) edges while mine has O(NK) edges.

> It seems to me, they think those guns posses some quality that make them - and not persons using them - evil.

This proposition is entirely uncontroversial among a quite large segment of the polity. I'm afraid I must confess to a certain poverty of imagination in that I have never understood, and never hope to understand, why this is. I do, though, from my experience with people who consider the proposition tautological, recognize a strong correlation between holding that opinion and not having any personal experience with firearms of any sort.

This contrasts with my own experience in that, having grown up rural, I have known since earliest childhood that firearms are useful tools, no more dangerous if handled according to elementary safety rules than any other power tool, and further that shooting is a skill whose acquisition and maintenance can be quite enjoyable for its own sake -- in short, firearms have never had any mystique for me, and I have the strong impression that that's the distinction between those who can reason about firearms as they can about any other tool, and those who consider firearms to inhabit some magical special category of their own, which is not meaningfully comparable to any other.
It was a no-holds barred war for survival from the POV of both sides; both sides being totalitarian states with fanatics in their ranks. A lot of the bad mojo of the 20th century is basically the fallout of that unimaginably violent and brutal war -- that is the "eastern" front between Germany and the USSR. Hitler's army was there to flat-out exterminate the populace to make room to support a growing population.

Battles where a huge chunk of a million men died in just a few days happened again and again and again. Of all the dying that happened in WWII, the Russians did a huge chunk of it.
