if they could do the matching they would have not needed the human force.
They would need huge amounts of versions and then need someone manually to observe. With a single attacker would be easy, though.
Excellent news, that means their competitors are safer to use?

Partnerships with US Corporations has always played a role in US Foreign Policy. Right now the military is talking about replacing large parts of its active forces with private companies. For information systems and telecommunication, launching rockets, building planes, creating munitions, researching weapons, it is the same.

Eisenhower gave his famous speech in 1961 on the forming Military-Industrial Complex. Military-Industrial because it partners the Military and Industry. (He warns America that if it goes unchecked, it could have dire consequences. I'm not saying it's gone unchecked - that's a different discussion.)

http://coursesa.matrix.msu.edu/~hst306/documents/indust.html

I go to my earlier point, the partnerships are not limited to munitions. Using Google to spy on foreign countries already shows that they have an intimate relationship. The question is whether Google is involved in Foreign Policy in other ways.

From GCHQ to NSA: "Let's be blunt - the Western World (especially the US) gained influence due to drafting earlier standards:

* The US was a major player in shaping today's internet. This resulted in pervasive exportation of America's culture as well as technology. It also resulted in a lot of money being made by US entities."

http://hbpub.vo.llnwd.net/o16/video/olmk/holt/greenwald/NoPl... (96)

The US would have a lot to gain if they could use Google to 'prioritize and export US culture'. Google's CEO sounds an awful lot like he's saying that.

From the intro text:

"They outlined radically opposing perspectives: for Assange, the liberating power of the Internet is based on its freedom and statelessness. For Schmidt, emancipation is at one with U.S. foreign policy objectives and is driven by connecting non-Western countries to Western companies and markets."

The US keeps an eye out on US Companies, too. Seems like an easy trade for me if I were a CEO. It will also help you expand your international base. Win-win.

As a 6'4", 200lbs male my maintenance calories going to the gym 2.5 times a week (5 times every 2 weeks) was 2700. But once you get thinner, the weight loss slows because of slowing metabolism, so under 190lbs (and under 15% bf) my maintenance probably decreased by a lot because my weight loss slowed considerably.
I always go to their frontpage (both desktop and mobile) to use their own search bar.
I just want to say that I know your situation and just encourage him to keep doing something and not sit in a chair waiting for something. Psychological problems come and they are not easy.

Wish you both the best of luck.
The thing is, how many calories does a piece of food contain? What is says on the packet? Probably not. Second is, how much calories do you burn? The same amount as the watts you generated on the circuit machine? Probably not.

And of those calories you got in, how many left through the waste canal?

Obviously it is a question of calories in = calories out, the question is whether what we are measuring is even close to either side of that equation.
Reading literature, watching films, listening to the music.

Basically, delving into culture which contains common phrases, idioms and sayings scattered around. You hear/read them, understand meaning from context, and commit to memory so you can use it later on.

This is not really that different from how kids learn idioms too, isn't it?

By the way, a lot of idioms/saying are pretty similar in different countries. Their wording might be slightly off, but just by translating it in your mind you understand what it means.

Example: "Dark Horse" - One who was previously unknown and is now prominent. In Russian it is pretty much the same thing "Черная Лошадка" or if to translate it to English "Dark Horsey" ("horse" is used with affectionate diminutive suffix).

Source: Russian.
That's an understandable viewpoint, how is this going to work with actually classified documents?

My thoughts exactly - the system is designed for the military, now imagine getting thousands of random people peeking at the documents.
It's being upvoted because it's relevant for people in the tech industry to be aware of it, not because it's surprising or technically superior to alternatives.

Some examples of the second group might include the people who flagkilled half of my comments in this thread. Man, I know political threads on Reddit News are a steaming pile, but y'all could at least pretend to be capable of talking to people you don't agree with and downvote me into oblivion instead.
> I feel like so many in the "startup" culture are completely trapped in an imaginary bubble that literally means jack shit to anyone outside it.

Trying to be the best in a field is a mindfuck, whether it's art, sports, industry, politics, or anything else. There is nothing wrong with not wanting to be a part of that and just living your life. I wish I could will this cursed drive out of me and be content, but I can't.

But you know, live and let live. The degree of contempt in your comment is just shameful.

> You aren't changing the world out there...you're building business.

When you do something that makes a stranger give you an hour of their time, you're changing the world in a very small way. When you do something that makes a billion strangers give you an hour of their time, you're changing the world in a very big way. Many of us won't get to do that, but you can't fault us for giving it an 'ole college try.
This is untrue, it IS that simple. When we talk about fat gain or loss, of course. Cutting out carbohydrates will make you lose glycogen, which contains mostly water (4 parts water, 1 part glucose).

It's very easy to lose water weight and say you lost more than you were supposed to lose because you're using weight as a measurement. If you use the amount of fat you have on your body, a low carb diet is no more effective than a low calorie diet at losing weight given the same amount of caloric expenditure.
Go to recorded crime, then check out the graph "Change in Priority Crimes by Borough". What is going on with a 13% jump in crime at Heathrow Airport?

Have they just started recording there, or has there been a major spate of crimes recently? Does anyone know?

Update:

Ah, just looked at the data. June 2014 [32 incidents], July 2014 [38 incidents]. The numbers of total crimes are small, hence a couple of extra crimes shows a higher percentage increase.
As someone who is single and works as a programmer at a Big 4 and still struggles to make time for social life, would be nic e to see a write-up like this from an engineer. From what I've experienced, if you're coding day-day on high pressure projects, keeping tight-schedules like this is damn near impossible.
not for podiatrists...
Same here. Maybe they just haven't done it yet.
Dublin too. Even while Ireland's unemployment is quite high, there's a large amount of dev positions available.
That's like saying "interesting how Walmart isn't following trends of boutique wine shop designs".

Sticky headers make sense in some cases, they don't in others. Using them just because because they are trendy is dumb.
Your intention is probably admirable (reassuring someone about a rough situation), but your list of life liabilities basically appeal to other prejudices based on age, gender, and possibly relationship status.

I'm not particularly impressed by this logic.
I currently work on a large C# app, and even though we got the compile times down to sub 30 seconds, I suffer from the same issue.

Nowadays, I will usually work on a feature in isolation in a new project so I get a nice focused feedback loop. It doesn't stop the procrastination when I have longer compiles, but it reduces the frequency at least.
Doesn't seem to be getting the new design yet. In the screenshot I see the old version.

Containers don't require a whole new layer since you're effectively using the kernel as a hypervisor. Very simplistically put, containers are a little bit like chroot processes - so a guest would have it's own /etc directory unique to the host (you don't need to build containers this way if you don't wish to, but this would be the standard type of set up).

With LXC, the guest processes are separated via cgroups, which is the same way systemd separates processes on the same host during it's init.
With an add-on like HoverZoom this page turns into an obstacle course.
I'm not completely sure that 'youth' is a required attribute here. From my experience, this can happen later in life as well, though you may be limited to being good at only what you can practice easily.

For example, I'm much better at reading French than listening to it. The opposite is true of some other languages.
No, I'm also in Germany, got the new site right away. Opened amazon.de in another tab to compare the changes made. Now we'll see how long it takes until amazon.de changes as well.

Oh please. I was 230+ lbs six years ago (30% bf or so), and now I'm 194lbs at around 15% bf.

I lost 15% of my weight and kept it off. It's not that hard. It's not punishing myself, it's going to the gym and taking protein supplements. The "diet that works" is eating a lot of protein because it's the most filling.

Apparently if you're cookied in or viewed an item recently it won't switch you over. Possibly out of fear of losing sales?
I disagree with the "firsts" argument. Trying to be there for the firsts of everything is silly and clinging to them is even sillier. Its area under the curve, height and width matter.
I love these kind of articles, period.

As a dad (son just turned two, daughter's 8 month old) in a similar situation, family wise, it's nice to read about other people being successful (and less risk averse..) in their professional life.

Granted, your story sounds more realistic. That's what I think whenever the 'Could I do something like this' wish comes up. But for now I'll choose to believe that Tad can make it work. Both for him and because I'd love to be able to do the same thing..
Still no autofocus on the search input. After 20 years? Really? You have to press 15x TAB in order to start searching. This bothers me since 2001 when I ordered from Amazon for the first time.
I have to imagine the smart folks at Apple are aware that businesses close and that they need a way to keep track of that. It's obviously not this particular tool, but there is surely someone working on that problem within Apple.
D has always been a professional language. I've been in this business a long time, and knew what had to be done to make it so.
I'm pretty sure Amazon releases features incrementally to a percentage of customers at a time to see how they react.

Progress Software to acquire Telerik for $262.5M
I don't think I'm seeing the same from the data.

1. It's around 500 per 100.000. There are still plenty of people out there. And that only includes people setting a quit date with an NHS Stop-Smoking Service and quitting within 4 weeks. Not sure if I think that's an accurate measurement of quit rate, more so the efficiency (in-efficiency?) of NHS' SSS.

2. Looks completely flat to me.

3. Seems to be only from well into the crisis and still looks to be around the same level now as 2009 but with a small down trend.

4. No comment really but the about section states that a part of the relevant data is not captured.

6. This is great but just from my sample point of one I don't see that many cycle lanes being added and most people that use a bike regularly clearly have their own rather than using boris bikes. It mostly seems to be tourists and a luck few where boris start and stop stations are conveniently located on their route who use them.
> If an adversary is currently patching binaries as you download them, these ‘Fixit’ executables will also be patched. Since the user, not the automatic update process, is initiating these downloads, these files are not automatically verified before execution as with Windows Update.

Except that this FixIt binary will have no signature and Windows will light up like a Xmas tree. So it really comes down to whether you pay attention to these warnings or you don't. And if you don't, despite all of the Microsoft's effort of past 10 years, then you get what you deserved.

You are seriously underestimating the ability of the human brain to tune out irrelevant inputs.
Whilst that's true, you really shouldn't use that as the argument - the point being made is that your body's ability to use a calorie in one type of food is different to your body's ability to use a calorie in another type of food.

A calorie = a calorie, but accessing it, sorting it, and storing it, depends on the package it comes in.
More like, they're doing A/B properly and collecting enough data to make sure it's not just noise.
The problem is that eating white rice is low in protein, and you'll lose body tissue that's not fat. Eating just chicken you'll lose glycogen which is 80% water, so you'll lose more weight, while losing the same amount of fat.

So when you go into extreme diets, there is a problem with measuring exactly what is going on if all you use is a scale.
There's a fun piece of math you can do with this model. Given the relation

w[t+1] = w[t] + (c[t] - alpha * w[t] - beta * d[t] * w[t]) / 3500

and assuming c, d are both constant (i.e. assume they are your long-run average of calories consumed and exercise done) you can solve to get

w[t] = c / (alpha + beta * d) + const * (phi ** t)

where phi is a number smaller than 1, and const is some constant that depends on your initial weight. Over time, the phi t term decays away, and you are left with your long-term stable weight,

w = c / (alpha + beta * d)

Using c = 2000, alpha = 12.5, beta = 0.63 and d = 0 you get a long-run stable weight of

w = 2000 / 12.5 = 160 lb

On the other hand, if you eat 2500 calories per day but run five miles, you get

w = 2500 / (12.5 + 0.63 * 5) = 160 lb

so if you want to eat an extra 500 calories per day, you should run 5 miles per day.

It'd be interesting to see how accurate this is.
No! - You likely won't, because of Spolsky [1]

It would make sense for Verizon to license the technology to other carriers.

1) The more widespread the technology is, the more advertisers will be aware of it and will seek it. This means more revenue for Verizon (bigger market for this product).

2) If all carriers do it, then people won't have an incentive to switch from Verizon.

3) Licensing fees.
But.. he wasn't wrong. He claimed that DARPA supported early goog, and they did.

Your post's parent just doesn't happen to believe that that's cause for alarm.

He didn't buy into 'Assange's spiel' not because it was factually wrong, but because it differed from his opinion on the weight of significance regarding DARPA grants.

If his argument is "Assange is clearly wrong.", he's clearly wrong.
Even SSL may not help. Cloudfront is now offering what they call "Flexible SSL". This means Cloudfront gets an SSL cert which allows them to impersonate the site, they offer an SSL connection to the user's browser, Cloudfront acts as an man-in-the-middle and makes a connection to the destination site. An unencrypted connection in many cases.

This is SSL as security theater.
In my opinion, the attacker missed completely the point of the contest. Its aim wasn't to know who was the one who could come up with the most clever visual processing algorithm, but knowing which is the best way to solve that particular problem, and "Through computer-aid crowdsourcing" could very well be the best answer.

I really hope he wasn't in the winning team.
There's probably no big mystery behind this. For most folks the 30's would be when their number of dependent offspring capable of bipedal motion peaked.
Also reminds me of a toy server I use for storing JSON-encoded secrets. I use this when I need hosts to have passwords, but don't want them to be stored in public (github) repositories.

I've seen that the best way to grow your company's culture is to hire people that your own employees recommend. That is, if you want to build your culture you'll want to hire people that your current employees have worked with before.

Brian didn't mention it, but I'll bet that their first engineer hire recommended friends or colleagues in the industry that s/he worked with in the past - whether that was at another company or even in an open source arena. From there, that network grew, much like a network of your first 100 people that love your product grows.
Really doubt this would have not crossed the designer or caught while A/B testing. May be lot of people don't do a search after landing on the home page. I for one hate sites which have auto-focus on every page, breaks up and down arrows and sometimes the backspace. At least there are two chrome plug-ins for auto-focusing on the search bar.
20 percent time will never die
Of course you can have a stronger hunger/desire to eat than other people. I have a high desire to eat, but I also love spending three hours exercising. I walked one hour to the gym on foot, lifted weights for one hour and walked another hour back. I could spend three hours playing ping pong or basketball. I never used to do that before, but I learned to love it. I don't do it every day, because my body wouldn't last, but I do it often enough to offset sometimes eating a very large meal.

How do I do this? Because I change the mindset away from looking for a job based on skills to showing the value your father can add to a company

You think you're being clever, but you're really not. Your body measures the calories you've consumed, not quantity.
I think you first have to clearly define what aspects your trying to maximise. Maximising "happiness" doesn't seem to be viable, because you can just suggest that the human brain will be modified such that it will be happy whatever it does.

So, the first question in my mind, is to define what characteristics you want to maximise in society. Without such a set of characteristics it's hard to say "this social structure is better".

I also think it's unlikely that a clear consensus on this metric can be found. That is, if it is even meaningful to create one.
We haven't done any of those things. No moderator touched any of those comments, let alone killed them. Also, "professional" management? Ugh.

It's difficult for me take your "deeply uncomfortable" seriously when you haven't taken any trouble to find out whether what you're saying is true. It's not like it's hard.

Edit: Also, it's disingenuous to quote that out of context to make it seem like comparing sexual harrassment to recruiter spam is completely innocuous, when everybody, including the person making that comparison, knows damn well how provocative it is.
Flagging is such an option. It's not a downvote, but it can be used against extreme off topic or flamebait posts. (You need to have enough karma to be able to flag posts).
Of course it's being spread from a region with an ev outbreak. That's how it works. The news is that it has now officially spread to the US and there is potential of more cases popping up soon since he wasn't quarintined.

I can't think of a single bank using metatrader, you're thinking of brokers.
you may not be evil, but it would be logical to think that your ambitions coincided with a few of the ambitions/priorities of the Naval Surface Warfare Lab.

If a consensus was reached by the public that NSWL does 'evil' things, it'd make logical sense to further investigate the possibility that you do evil things.

DARPA creates lots of things, but one of those things they focus on is weapon advancement and defense. They have a lot of creation under their belt (the internet, various medical advancements, surgical and prosthetic equipment and techniques, etc etc), but their public military image and priority on defense is such that the public has come to the consensus that DARPA is a spooky, evil, lab -- regardless of the good that they've done.

If the public consensus is that a group that Google deals with 'is evil', it'd make logical sense for there to be more pressure on both parties (Google and the involved party) to be as transparent with the public as possible to negate the brooding bad PR -- otherwise that 'bad' image may rub off and affect both parties.

That is, unless, the benefits of the partnership are greater than the disadvantages created by the negative PR generated by the partnership itself.. and I am personally of the opinion that that's the state Google is in now.
If it bothers you that much you could just write a Chrome plugin/Greasemonkey script.
