Recently diagnosed myself, I spent years and years trying to control it via willpower. The real turning point when I realized I needed to see someone was a few months ago. I found that hobbies I loved (gaming, programming, etc) would no longer hold my attention and I was compulsively getting up and wandering to the kitchen/bathroom just because my brain felt like it was frying. This is extremely hard to explain, because I'm not slacking to get off of work and do something fun like everyone else, I was compulsively slacking because very little would grab me.
I'd imagine jsfiddle.
So just two be clear, BitLocker has (at least) two modes of operation, normal mode where you yourself/your company are responsible for managing your encryption keys and passive "device encryption" mode which is enabled by default on many consumer devices (e.g. Surface 3, Surface RT, Windows Phone, etc).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BitLocker#Device_encryption

So the complaint is essentially, an encryption mode which is a freebie on many devices which traditionally would have no drive encryption at all is somehow spying for the NSA by uploading decryption keys.

But the problem I have with that line of thinking is: Without device encryption many devices wouldn't have drive encryption at all and therefore the NSA (with possession of the device) could trivially retrieve that data.

If you really want NSA-secure BitLocker encryption then why the heck don't you just set up BitLocker yourself instead of using Microsoft's "feature-limited" device encryption mode? The key won't be put on OneDrive in that situation.

Also if Microsoft did enable full BitLocker on many consumer devices, do you really trust your average person to keep their keys safe? Or explain that there is no forgotten password feature, that their family photos are just "fucking gone" [0].

You would probably not be able to distinguish an adversarial image with added noise from a normal image with added noise.

While it is difficult to locate the adversarial examples by random permutation, they do not appear to be extremely specific. The paper even suggests that they exist within specific areas of the input space. So depending on the size of said area, adding noise will just lead you to a similarly adversarial image.

Regardless they propose a better way of fixing the problem by just modifying the training algorithm to penalize networks that have a structure allowing this kind of error.

Neural networks can still perform arbitrary computations, despite this result, so there is no reason to try and manually fix up bad inputs when you can train the network to do it.

>Fast lanes are just one horrible side effect of our "everything capitalism" country. The fact that most cities in the USA are duopolies when it comes to wired internet means essentially everyone is screwed.

The duopolies you describe are definitely terrible. They are cronyism and corporatism operating under the guise of capitalism, but they are very far from the free markets of capitalism. It's worth noting that these monopolies could not exist without government regulation. More ISP's can't run fiber to your house because the local law prevents them. I'd rather get rid of those bad laws instead of piling more bandaid laws on top of them.

Facebook: JavaScript Testing and Static Type Systems at Scale
I'm perfectly happy interviewing people for junior positions. We did this quite a bit at larger companies where junior engineers were desirable, and there was structure that let them succeed.

But when I'm dealing with a professional organization that is basically trying to scam my company into doing mis-hires, that's when my empathy goes dry. I have a duty to my co-workers and my investors to not screw up hires. I see gaming the system as a legitimate opportunity to criticize someone else's behavior.

I agree, these junior level people are in a tough position. They're being mis-represented and taken advantage of. It sucks. I want people to succeed. But I don't do handouts, and the practices I've seen make me mad.

Everyone in this industry sees many, many resumes from people who cannot do the job. Everyone interviews people who don't pass. Probably everyone has seen people fired because they couldn't perform or were doing damage. This happens. It's not going away. And it's not pleasant.

So while it might not come across in what I wrote above, every time I affect someone's life like this -- every time I send a "Sorry, we're not going to proceed" email, or tell someone in an interview that we're cutting things short today -- I feel bad about it. Sometimes a little bad, sometimes a lot. Sometimes I agonize over a resume (and we spent quite a bit of time on a candidate the other day, trying to come up with reasons to proceed). But the alternatives (job charity? keeping someone on who does negative work?) are worse. Much worse.

And given all the people who should be given a chance, I won't countenance fraud. That makes me write responses that are direct and forceful and unapologetic. These job shops are poisoning the well for the individuals who are truly deserving, and that should make everyone mad.
Before I was medicated for inattentive ADD, sitting down to study was essentially impossible. I would sit down to read, and within a minute my mind would start to wander and it took an enormous amount of effort and mental energy to get my mind back to focusing. But once again I would lose my train of thought unintentionally and start day dreaming. I used to lock myself away from any distractions, but my mind was just not equipped to learn the way my high school and college required me to. I needed to learn and I wanted to learn but I didn't have the ability to.

After taking Adderall, my mind doesn't wander aimlessly and it doesn't take an enormous amount of effort sit still and study. I still need to take mental breaks every hour and use will power to get myself to sit down and learn, but the effort was just much less, making it a much easier process. I am naturally motivated and curious. But this is hindered by the fact that I can't naturally sit and learn. On Adderall all of a sudden I can focus, and my motivation and curiosity can let me successfully get things done.

As far as tasks that would feel good even without medication, video games for example, I had even more focus and could play for longer periods of time if I wanted to. But now all of a sudden playing video games didn't seem as attractive to me anymore, because there were other things I needed to get done (like study) which I always wanted to do but were too hard. When the threshold of effort required to do work successfully is lowered, it becomes much easier to stop myself from playing video games and actually get motivated and excited about learning and getting work done.
Sure, having no central point sounds like the better think to have, but then how do you provide authenticity ? That's the main problem you're going to face if it starts being popular. You need either trusted sources that can provide you with the correct infohash/pgp signature/whatever, which are the easiest thing to do, or you need some kind of p2p consensus system in which peers "vote" in some way so you can be fairly certain of authenticity. Tribler has made a lot things in this domain, maybe you should check it out.
Rust is one of those languages I'm excited to learn, in about 2 years time.

It's a shame there are so many comparisons between Go and Rust because it does both a disservice. Rust is still very much unfinished and still being developed, but despite this it is achieving its goals of complete safety and compile time checking.

It's an admirable project, but it's got a lot of syntax fiddling and redesigning to go before I think it's 'prime time' ready.

Definitely agree with the vision, and an easy to use platform to allow the common public to access these markets and diversify their assets is exactly what we need. Breaking into different cryptos can be a huge headache for the average person and the wild price volatility certainly does not help with the intimidation factor, but the thought of an investment as small as the change in your cup holder is a great way to ease people into the idea.

It's not just digital music downloads in Japan which are not taking off. Ebooks are still far from reaching any significant share on the market, and a large part is coming from the lack of cooperation of the publishers who refuse to have digital versions of their paper books. It's a completely locked market in many regards with decisions made by risk-averse companies and company presidents. I have never seen Japan as modern when it comes to Internet services / downloads and the like. They seem to be permanently stuck in old habits (Yahoo is still the main web page they use on a daily basis), registration heavy services (needing 7 steps from beginning to the point where you are able to log in) and web pages that still look like 1.0 era.

Tdver: dreaming about test-driven versioning
The problem is that Microsoft gives users a false sense of security. Marketing speak for this feature is "Your device is always automatically encrypted", which results in users thinking their data is safe. The content is then automatically backed up to Microsoft servers, to which users will not have much of an objection since it's encrypted anyway. But then behind their backs, Microsoft not only stores the encryption keys as a backup but also immediately shares them with the NSA that has full access to those backups.

So basically they fucked up three times: 1. Marketing encryption while it's not safe, 2. Storing accessible backups of your data on their servers and 3. Actively sharing those backups with the NSA.

Out of those, #1 would be an excusable thing that many companies do, #2 is a reason to mistrust them and #3 is a reason never to store anything with Microsoft ever again. It's just not acceptable to take my data, promise me it is encrypted, then lie about it and freely share my data with the NSA whenever they want.
Ask HN: Should I try to get job at Big Four or settle down as Web/Mobile dev
Hi HN, I'm a cs junior at fairly small state university. My GPA is around 3.5 & I've one year left to graduate with only non-cs classes left. I was clueless when I joined CS as freshman & followed professors instructions to focus on web dev, got into many internship & have done really well in all of them. At my current internship, biggest IT shop in my state where I get paid really well, I thrive working on backend to frontend and both iOS and Android development. I helped introduce Node, many js frameworks & native app dev instead of Html/js. Everyone likes me & am guarenteed job over there. However, instead of staying in my comfort zone of web dev and mobile dev here, I thought I should try to land job at Big Companies in Valley like Google, Facebook etc. So, during this one year left I could focus on learning data structures, algorithms, oss contribution, github building and coding interviews. While focusing on web dev, I'd neglected these topics. Do you think this is right choice? Like in my freshman years, I'm in a dilemma. Should I graduate early and land job at local big companies and quickly climb coorporate ladder or spent one year to master core problem solving & land job in big valley companies?

> More ISP's can't run fiber to your house because the local law prevents them.

Wouldn't these companies need some kind of affirmative government assistance, not only the lack of government prohibition? Very few (if any) potential new entrants into the market actually own land or rights of way sufficient to run "last-mile" cables to residential homes. At the very least it seems like they'd need permission to dig up streets (which they don't own) and get some kind of easement rights across property they don't own. Or are there really utility companies that 100% own all the land (or delegated rights such as an easement) needed to do a run, and are still being prohibited by local law from running the cables on their own land? I could imagine the latter situation existing in a few cases, but not many; more or less only in the case of a greenfield development where the developer owns the entire subdivision.

Then have the law reverse if the side effects and dangerous behavior go up.

My general point is that, when there's uncertainty as to the outcome of a change in the law, you could just have a clause in the bill saying it'll be reversed automatically if things go south. This could be applied to anything from drug laws to gun control to lower/higher taxes. Rather than sitting around guessing what might happen, just run an experiment, and reverse it quickly if things don't go well.

> Without device encryption many devices wouldn't have drive encryption at all and therefore the NSA (with possession of the device) could trivially retrieve that data.

This argument gets to the heart of mass surveillance vs. targeted/individualized surveillance. I personally prefer a world where someone would have to do something like steal my device to gain access to my data to a world where everyone's data is compromised by default all of the time. Maybe that makes me an outlier, but if I had owned one of these devices, I'd be pretty outraged...not unlike some were in the midst of the recent iCloud brouhaha.

Ask HN: How do you manage your photos?
I have wondered about this before, but as the recent father to a beautiful son, this had suddenly become very important - how do we manage family photos and videos? With various devices, it's easy to take hundreds of photos every day, some are treasures to be stored for a life time, some are quick "can you show me this mole on my back", a soy sauce etiquette for shopping, or out-of-focus and poor pictures.

How much time do we spend sorting through pictures? How brutally do we delete less than perfect photos? Where do we store them so that they are available in many years - right now iPhoto sucks them all in, but I don't trust that program one bit. And how would we store metadata about the pictures (not just dates, but perhaps short stories etc), in a format that will be available in the future?

How are others dealing with this?
Exactly. And to ensure they get a cushy job at these companies when they leave FCC. The revolving door continues on.
(And also, how do you actually access the photos? I have thousands of photos on my harddrive, but I find it extremely rare to actually sit down and look through any of them)
