You are conflating many things. Nobody ever has expected candidates to produce an answer that would be the equivalent of months of work.

Basic CS/Math/AI/Physics knowledge affords you a starting point that's further along in the development/tweaking of an algorithm. That is NOT the end point. Its simply - knowing whats out there.

If you start with "well let me go read about whats out there" you will only have time for superficial knowledge from wikipedia or what have you. Because that starting set of knowledge takes years to accumulate. Testing whether you have this starting set is a crucial setup in knowing whether a candidate is going to constantly end up wasting time reading up on basic stuff. You can't build a plane by opening a high school physics book.

One other thing is that when you have a broad enough set of domain knowledge in your head, its much more likely that you're able to connect the dots cross-domains. This is essential if you're going to be doing some interesting algorithmic work.

Of course, all of what I said is predicated upon you being interested in that sort of work.

This is a very good point, and I'm sure it depends on all 4 of things very heavily.

There were multiple Facebook competitors, but Facebook executed their product MUCH better than everyone else (real names/people, exclusive to certain communities at first) and I would think it was a big cause for their success.

As for Android, I was told recently that it was released in a time when carriers (Verizon) defined what apps should be shipped in phones, and largely commissioned manufacturers to make said apps.. Android helped make this a non-issue by letting anyone make apps, making a market, and letting every phone manufacturer ship it for free (no one else did this). Even if Android was crappy in comparison to the iPhone initially, it provided a lot of freedom for the manufacturers, making it very attractive.

Not to mention every non-iOS/Android mobile OS back then was garbage in comparison.

> I thought by FIFA's bylaws once a person leaves their position, all investigations into any ethics issues cease? Or is that just internal investigations?

Its just internal FIFA investigations. If a private organizations by-laws could cut-off criminal investigations, every criminal would be creating their own organizations with by-laws structured in a convenient way to do that.
Indeed, and now() is often good enough, if not better, as it represents the conditions at the time that the logic was executed.

The author needs to examine carefully why a value is being updated so many times within a single transaction (first example provided), which by it's own nature is an atomic change (there's no reason to write the middle states to disk as it'll either commit or it won't).

Second the author provides a multiple clients (writers) example. In this case if the ordering is important a LOCK is likely required; however it is more likely that consistency is required (in this case likely the psql specific functions).

While that's true, I still know people who compile their own OS from scratch; I've gone through the experience of compiling my entire system from source via Linux From Scratch[0].

There are many thousands of people who have done the same thing, and this gives us a "web of trust". And if you don't want to trust anyone, you can always compile it yourself.

That's the difference: I have the freedom to learn and study anything and everything. It might not be likely, and it might not be convenient, but it is possible.

I agree with you overall, MS has made GREAT strides in the last year towards moving my needle from "Wouldn't touch if my life depended on it" to "Huh, that's actually pretty interesting". The old MS still shows through with things like how they are handling Win 10 (Both in versions and cost) but overall they are looking up. That said MS still has a long ways to go and I still wouldn't use Windows for anything (other than gaming) but some other stuff MS has done does interest me.

Why would FIFA's bylaws have anything to do with a criminal investigation?
What justification is there for nuanced collection? Relevant people said (something along the lines of) nothing was only known via NSA, either it wasn't known or the other agencies found out.
Your link shows us how the NSA would like you to secure your systems, not their love for hiding their exploits behind closed sourced code. No snark points needed here!
So there are bugs in drive firmware. How about security bugs? Should we expect quality drives to have had a security audit?
I don't think FIFA's bylaws can somehow supersede those of every country on earth. This is a criminal investigation into FIFA by the US, not a FIFA investigation into a FIFA official by another FIFA official.

I know that the TPP is happening and it's being done without much oversight. But I suspect that if FIFA had somehow attained worldwide diplomatic immunity for its officials we'd know about it. And once an official stepped down, well, they'd then lose that immunity (not that it's ever existed) and would again be open to prosecution.
Well, I'd read about this, it's pretty interesting. Do you know any good articles/videos/resources?
I'm not trying to invalidate your experience, I'm trying to offer another perspective. Clearly it is not welcome.
For something supposedly from 1965 it looks a lot like a LaTex document. Was layout that good back in 65?
That position seems to omit the very obvious problems with Russia's actions, including invading and conquering territory and people, abusing its inhabitants, and forcing a dictatorship on them.

It's a little odd to even discuss the desires of the Crimean population; they have no say in the matter.

And, contrary to a fly-by-night SSD manufacturer that's here today and gone tomorrow they have a reputation to protect and they suffer big time if a batch of faulty drives hits the market. See 'deathstar' and other re-runs of that concept. So they work very hard to make sure that doesn't happen to them.
I unfortunately don't have much work experience yet, still in school. But I do know measuring performance is hard, and if you're too strict you leave out learning opportunities -- all good points. But still I would only trust a consultancy in an adversarial setting (board hiring to check management), or if there was a firm that could establish a reputation of being ruthless (seems hard to make work due to inherent reward conflict).

So the existence of this kind of thing shows, to me, those boards are either incapable or ineffective.
BTW I was interested in Googling for this after reading this New Yorker essay on the costs of colonizing Mars:

> The pressure differential also had unhappy gastric consequences. The ballooning dogs expelled air from their bowels; this led frequently—and simultaneously—to defecation, urination, and projectile vomiting. The animals suffered what looked like grand-mal seizures, and their tongues froze. (This last effect was a result of heat loss through rapid evaporation.) All told, a hundred and twenty-six dogs were tested in the chamber, for varying lengths of time. Of those which spent two minutes in simulated space, a third died. The rest deflated and, eventually, recovered. Among those which remained in a vacuum for three minutes, the mortality figure climbed to two-thirds.

I came across “Experimental Animal Decompressions to a Near-Vacuum Environment” while reading up on the One-Year Mission. Maybe it’s just a sign of my geocentric bias, but I was struck by the correspondences. For all his training and his courage, Kelly is basically just another test mammal. Like the dogs, he’s been sealed in an airtight chamber to see how much his body can take. And in both experiments the results, at least in their broad outline, are totally predictable.

I think you have a good point but if you think of it in terms of marketing costs, $45k for a domain is very little and will go a long way.
I think what's missing is a science of the boundaries of science itself, i.e. of what we could never learn through the scientific method; the structural gaps that must exist, not as an obstacle to be mounted later, but as the essential price of doing research, or as the cognitive limits of human (instrumental) reasoning.
It seems that Quantum physics has formulated some such "unknowables", and of course, there's always Gödel's theorem. But we should perhaps go further, and lose that "godlike" character that science now sometimes enjoys.

>If anyone has suggestions for how we could do this better in a world where stringent prohibitions exist, we're all ears.

The author defined his business as "marijuana regulatory compliance software." Therefore, not enough information is given. If the software was purely for medical marijuana regulatory compliance. Then I think Stripe should continue to work with the company, but as it relates to recreational marijuana that is where Stripe should draw the line.

This is not a morale position, but a legal one. Why?

>it's still illegal at the federal level

Yes; however, one may reasonably rely on the representations of the Government. Moreover, in this particular instance the Gov. (via Attorney General Eric Holder) publicly has taken the legal position that the Federal Gov. would not enforce the Federal Marijuana laws against persons who comply with state medical marijuana laws. What Stripe is dealing with is a Software to ensure compliance with these very laws that the Federal Gov is using as the basis for their Federal enforcement (so long as the Software is limited to medical and not extended into recreational).
One solution you could do is use the Zapier webhook trigger to push data to google docs. Then write an application that iterates over the database table and fires a webhook with the JSON to that endpoint on Zapier.

Should be a piece of cake, but you'd definitely want to throttle the rate though to prevent yourself from being throttled. :-)
Without knowing the details, it seems like they shouldn't really distil 'expectation of privacy' down a simple binary "could someone not breaking the law observe them or not" test.

IMO, the efforts to which that hypothetical person would have to go should influence just how much privacy a person could 'expect' to have. Otherwise why do people bother putting up privacy fences around their garden, when anyone could just fly over? Or hoist a camera on a stick?

The problem being that the more effort required to observe, the more confident an ordinary person could presume to be unobserved.

When we have UAVs that can loiter around (in public airspace, of course) random buildings and bounce laser microphones off the windows, along with thermal imaging and gait detection of individuals at a price that is affordable by average people, would that change 'expectation of privacy'?

As long as the tech is embargoed or ridicuously expensive, there's a distinct skew where the government can afford it and Joe Shmuck The Reasonable Individual can't.

In fact, the mere ability to continuously loiter for extended periods and make recordings is probably beyond an individual who doesn't have refueling support or additional friends in similarly equipped craft to change watches.

You're just trading sshd bugs for VPN bugs, in that case. Which are more likely? From what I know, I think I'll put my lot in with sshd. Perhaps I'm not well informed, though.

Also, sshd + fwknop (port knocking) is a very secure combo, IMO.
I know it is just an OS kernel and security is far more comprehensive than having a secure kernel, but this is an amazing start:

Getting from the admitted targeted surveillance with to 'everyone is being watched' seems like a bit of a slippery slope argument to me.

I think, as you point out, that the overwhelming quantity of Data that would be produced by such an approach prevents this by creating a cost/benefit equilibrium for the FBI on the number of people they monitor with any regularity to build their cases.
Ballmer has a BAD case of "Not invented here". I remember reading a story about him calling out and mocking an employee in a meeting b/c they has an iPhone (this was around 2008 I think). First off it's a VERY GOOD IDEA to use your competitors products if only to see how they stack up (Spoiler: They blew away MS's mobile offerings in 2008 and still do to this day). Second, what a way to make all of your employees yes-men who live in their own world shut off from what was happening in real world. He was douche all around from what I can tell and him leaving is one of the best things that could have happened to MS. Ballmer took over MS soon after I really got into computers and let it stagnate (XP/IE6) which lead me to switch to Linux/OSX and I've never looked back. I'm not saying it's all his fault but I think he was extremely influential in decisions that ultimately pushed me away from MS.
It even happens at the cable level. I've had a couple of devices (Galaxy S3, Mophie) that required me to the use the proper higher-quality cable, despite being standard micro USB.

I think most of us around here are aware of our contemporaries who use quite a bit of prescription assistance to operate at a high level. You get the right mix of Adderall, cocaine, theanine, modafinal or whatever and you can pull off some amazing stretches of work. And sadly, anyone who has gone really hard down that path can probably tell you kind of things that it can do to your mental health. Not at all in anyway whatsoever relating that to this article or particular case and I'm sure there are people who pull this off without those things, but I have a hunch it's becoming the exception at this point, not the rule.

There was no suitable candidate who would be able to do the job that has to be done now. Now its time to find one.

And i would be surprised if they can connect him with bribery etc.
He strikes me as that kind of person who likes power over a bag of money.
It's convenient that he steps down now, mere days after the election that swore him into power once again. If he stepped down during the election Prince Ali would have won. This way, Blatter can call his own election and personally vouch for a new candidate to take over.

To me, Blatter was just the face of corruption. I simply cannot see someone from inside FIFA being able to resolve the corruption problems, mostly because these people are the problem. This isn't a new thing, and this isn't something that arrived with Blatter. Some journalists have been investigating corruption in FIFA for decades. Hell, most countries have been a part of it. It's only surfacing now because the bribery is so blatant, and our bribes simply weren't enough.

People will cheer and say that "we finally did it", but I cannot see anything truly changing. The only way FIFA will change is through the authorities.
We have these things called standards which allow nice things like interoperability. Besides, you do not need the entire drive to be accessible from UEFI, it is enough that you can load a small bootloader which contains the drivers to handle the disk. Thirdly, UEFI has extensible right in the name, shouldn't be too hard for OSes to throw a disk driver blob into UEFI.

The thing I like so much about LWT is that some of the segments are a good 12-15 minutes long, which is an eternity in TV land. With that time, he can actually dig into topics with more depth to give viewers a better understanding of the background and what is happening (and still manage to be hilarious). I think back to his bit on the supplements industry as a good example of this.

I NEVER see this type of analysis on any news shows besides Frontline.
I think it sounds scary anyway.

I mean, I'd know everything about you -- where you lived, where you shopped, where you worked, where you ate out, where your friends lived, what you did with your friends, when you did it, etc.

I could even get further than you might imagine: I probably have a really good guess (>0.99) what you do at your work, given your activities outside of work and the people you associate with.

I tell your boss when you lie about being sick, I tell your insurance how often you do risky things when not driving, I tell your ex where she can find you at the club.

This is the future you're presenting, and claiming that there's some upside. On the contrary, I think humans can't handle it, and are literally going to drive themselves insane with machines.
Oh there used to be a lot of HDD mfgr in perhaps 1985, all new products like this have an explosion of competitors, then they all get bought out or otherwise exit the market.

There used to be something like one hundred car manufacturers in the USA, around a century ago!

Another way to look at oligopolies is they no longer need to compete on quality or specs if they slack in unison, and the collapse and commodification of their product means they'll get nickel and dimed to death so I wouldn't expect perfection from them, they find ways to screw up. You can't "wish" or "push" commodity status on a market if mother nature and the economy in general prevent it from happening, forcing commodity style management onto a non-commodity product/market just makes a mess.
Dumb question: do most battery meters (internal to the device) test voltage? If so, does that mean using this would give you no warning that your batteries are dying? From the demo, it sounds like they might go from 100% straight to dead, at least from the device's perspective.
This is the answer right here. Also it's wise to use different keys for different services, for the same reasons that you'd use different passwords.
I think you're confusing linux (the kernel) with linux distributions (mostly lousy windows managers that run on linux).

Let's not get into an OS war between us here, but looking at the changes over the last 15 years, it's clear that MS is warming up to Linux. This is something that was absolutely unthinkable during the Gates and Ballmer eras.

The linux community must be doing something right when developer demand and excitement is so high for ssh.
