Funny, I live with a college-age daughter who is an outspoken and studious third-wave feminist, and has been politically active since she was ten years old. She doesn't talk about radfem at all, or anything close to the "ultra-feminist" caricature. The third wave feminism I listen to constantly is about correcting the limitations of second wave feminism (Gloria Steinem style) and expanding our awareness and acceptance of more fluid gender roles in today's society. Nothing radical about it.
Of course, and it was the execution choices by management that allocated that $300 million in such a way that they didn't arrive at a sustainable business. As such the business goes down the drain and the employees with it.

19 Implications of Google Glass on Marketing
I believe the common thinking is that the giant gravity wells of Jupiter, Saturn, and the Sun are often considered a shield for the inner Solar System planets. Thus, given enough time (10 million years per the article) these wells attract and destroy a vast majority of free rocks, preventing them from threatening Earth.

But (my conjecture) if there's far more random junk flying around out there, that's going to force a re-think of how we guarantee the safety of space travel past the Moon.

Technical sales engineer at HackerRank
HackerRank's enterprise product, HackerrankX is being used tons of tech companies - facebook, amazon, vmware, palantir, evernote, bloomberg, morgan stanley, solarcity, etc. to streamline their technical recruiting process.

It has helped them achieve massive ROI in terms of reducing the time to hire by 40-50% and consistency in interviewing across the company (maintain a uniform hiring bar). We are growing extremely fast (seven figure revenue mark (>$1m), 40-50% growth m-o-m, 42 people in PA) and looking to grow by 10x in a year.

We typically sell to the engineering & recruiting org and have to get a buy-in from both of them before getting widespread adoption.

Your role:

-- Help the sales team in fielding engineering questions from customers during a demo

-- Assist with the creation of technical documentation and support material.

-- Educate and train the sales team on the features and use of the platform.

-- Reduce/eliminate technical obstacles in order to win the technical recommendation from the customer.

-- We're a startup - so anything in the intersection of customer & engineering (except coding the product which if you'd like to do, we're totally fine with) will be your responsibility.

I've never been in such confident state about the company as I'm right now. This is unbelievably amazing growth. If you'd like to be a part of it, e-mail me: vivek [at] hackerrank.
I feel it's really important for us, as consumers, to support companies like Newegg. This strategy is really risky for them (despite all the good PR it brings).

It's easy for patent trolls to just move onto different targets and avoid suing combative companies like Newegg, but if we vote with our dollars maybe more companies will see that they too should take a stand.
from http://www.enterprisetech.com/2014/04/04/hyperscale-lessons-...:

“The way that a lot of the code was developed for the application was using automated modeling tools” he says. “They configured their modelers to [generate middle-tier Java objects] in a three-tier style architecture. Essentially, they created a layer of abstraction that didn’t need to be there.”
Wikipedia distinguishes them, and that's in line with my understanding, although I don't know that my understanding wasn't derived at some point from Wikipedia or a descendent source.

As Wikipedia (and, apparently, G. E. Moore) would have us believe, the "naturalistic fallacy" is believing that you can reduce good/bad to natural states, and seems more closely related to Hume's "is-ought problem" than to the "appeal to nature". I actually think this comes down to disagreement about what is meant by "good/bad" more than substance, though.

Clearly, some do use "naturalistic fallacy" to mean "appeal to nature", and I'm not certain the original use of the term is worth preserving as distinct from Hume, but I'd encourage "appeal to nature" for clarity since that seems to have no ambiguity.
Right, that's why I said it's a DAG -- a decision DAG -- instead of just a tree structure.

It was a study done on mice, and it had nothing to do with ingestion of capsaicin:
"These results might imply that caution should be exercised when using capsaicin-containing topical applications in the presence of a tumor promoter, such as, for example, sunlight."

> seems to preclude efficient sync with current tech.

I disagree. You can deterministically chunk the large file with one of the existing rolling checksum schemes, and then use the chunks as your primitive instead of whole files. The server only sees encrypted chunks. The client knows to only upload changed chunks.

That still leaves important choices to be made about cipher mode, key management, etc. But it's not intractable.
I cannot tell if I am way off topic here, so pardon my attempt to hijack your thread, but does anybody know of a solid solution in this respect? Or even a good way to just simply sync and manage larger datasets or files over www.

I am not so concerned about version tracking/management so much as just a good way to sync large amounts of data while having a git–like CLi arsenal. Or a comparable CLi solution, or API with decent version tracking and solid support.

I have mounted google drive as a linux volume which is buggy to say the least. I have used github, and local git repos, but I am wondering if I am missing out on anything.

For example, BitTorrent has a Sync tool that seems close to what I want.
What a great Dad:

"A local arcade not far from where we lived regularly put old games up for sale. My dad noticed that they had listed a Space Ace cabinet for $300. To this day I will never forget my shock — my dad bought it and brought it into our tiny apartment. I had a full-size, real-deal Space Ace arcade cabinet in my childhood bedroom."

I own two houses and I agree with you. If you're in great financial shape and you'd be happy buying a house, buy a house.

The vast majority of folks (americans, anyways) AREN'T in good financial shape, however, and often overestimate the permanence of their current situation. If you have to sell your house inside 5 years, you're in iffy shape. It can be financially catastrophic if you have to move during a down market. About 30% of folks are out of the house by the end of their 6th year, when they probably thought it was going to be their home for decades (source: http://www.nahb.org/generic.aspx?genericContentID=110770&cha... ).

This reflects what I have read elsewhere.

What they would do is bid wastefully using weak creative and little targeting as if they were actively trying to waste as much money as possible (which may have been what they were doing).

It seems to me that the legal system in the US is largely broken, and that just about anyone can be sued if only you find the right grounds. Being sued and defending yourself is enormously expensive which is what patent trolls exploit.

Why not use this offensively against patent trolls? Find all sorts of ways to take them to court, the American legal seems to have plenty of opportunities in that regard. There are some problems with standing, but I'm sure that a concerted effort could be effective.

Sue them into the ground with guns blazing. Sue them for everything from not upholding workers rights, to misleading advertising and spelling mistakes. Make them taste their own medicine.

The effort could be crowdsourced.

I know of no general system, but you may be interested in the paper "On Hiding Information from an Oracle". I'd give you a link, but I'm on my phone right now. It discusses homomorphic encryption schemes for 3 functions that are relevant to cryptography. Quadratic root, discrete logarithm... and one other (maybe prime factorization? Probably not). Their scheme is quantifiably strong and a function of the size of the inputs.

There's a lot of great restaurants that don't deliver in the Bay Area (and probably elsewhere). With most startups offering catered lunches and dinners there's a strong demand for delivery of food better than pizza.
And the troll companies are always shell companies with nothing but the patents. So, even if you win, the shell company will declare bankruptcy. This is what changed the game. Before, two big companies generally had enough patents that they would simply agree to cross license because they both infringed one another's patents.

So, for the company being sued, it's a no win situation.

I think you are wrong. Google's current business requires that they are able to match your interests to ads. Contrary to popular belief, it has nothing to do with selling you out to advertisers and it doesn't even strictly require Google to know all about you.

If they can efficiently apply FHE to your data and produce an encrypted set of ads that only you can unscramble, they'll make plenty of money.

It's not at all clear that this is feasible, but if I had billions of dollars burning a hole in my pocket, I'd probably fund FHE research.

My experience in tech has been an upward increase in work load with increase in experience. Funnily enough this has been correlated with greater freedom. The less freedom I had, the more I was inclined to put in my 8 hours and check out. Now, the more the freedom that I have, the more I realize that I am always on and I have to force myself to switch off and do other things.

Very simplistic view. When VCs put in that much cash, they also pressure management to spend it as fast as they can and expand and conquer new markets. That's the bet. That's the game.

Fab did that and it turned out the market was not there to float the investment. It happens, sometimes the firm beats the odds and people celebrate the management and their free spending ways as the reason for impressive growth. The ignore all the mistakes because the end result is all that matters.

Sometimes the bet doesn't pay off and here we are. Blaming the management and all the mistakes they made as the reason they ended up in this situation. The reality is the VCs, the management, and the employees know the truth. It is a game, it is a bet. If it folds, they move on.

Not sure why people get so worked up, lash out against management and go on and on about calling them "evil". It is a cop out. A lot of those same people were calling that same management "geniuses" for the rapid growth a couple of years ago.
Cancer survival rates are usually five year survival from diagnosis. We've gotten better at detecting cancer earlier, meaning people are more likely to make it to five years, but, from what I've read (and I'd love to see research showing what I've seen is wrong!), the number of people living longer than they would have 30 years ago has not gone up as dramatically (there are some cancers that have seen tremendous improvement, though).

Does anybody have numbers on 10-20 year survival?
You're very welcome, this is totally fun, and hopefully we'll both come out wiser.

> That must mean the == operator is supported, so it seems like it must be possible to do this.

OK, I understand what you meant with the code now, but the problem is you won't know the answer to your equality comparison. In the same way that add(encryptedIntegerA, encryptedIntegerB) gives you encryptedIntegerC whose value is unknown but which you know decrypts to a + b, you know that equals(encryptedIntegerA, encryptedIntegerB) results in encryptedBooleanC, but you don't know whether that decrypts to true or false. So what do you execute next? It's not that it doesn't know until runtime which branch to take; it's that it doesn't know ever. The whole point FHE is that the executing machine doesn't know the answers themselves, just what they encrypt to. So I'm not sure--no matter how much meta eval you make it do--how it can decide what code to actually execute without decrypting something.

Edit: though I appear to be wrong about this. From Wikipedia:

If the morphisms of some wide supercategory of C include the primitive recursive functions or even all computable functions, then any encryption operation which qualifies as an endofunctor of this supercategory is "more fully" homeomorphic since additional operations on encrypted data (for example conditionals and loops) are possible.

That certainly supports your point. I suppose--more speculation by me-- it must compute both sides of the conditional (in this case, execute the OP_ADD branch and the OP_MULT branch) and then pick one in a way that makes it impossible to tell which "won". That would make a bytecode interperter really impractical, since it would have to compute a huge superset of what any actual bytecode program does, but not logically impossible.
