Well its usually unappealing, doesn't mean always. Look at it this way - would you tell the world to stop writing so many books unless they knew the book they were writing was a bonafide masterpiece?
I agree the security at LHR is far more intense. They caught a lighter and topical gel buried way down in a traveling medical kit I carry. I have gone through TSA 100's of times with this kit and they never once mentioned it.
I recently needed to make a cross platform assembler for a niche 8-bit micro that only has DOS tooling. After cloning it in a small bit of Python I was looking for a simple way to extend it with macros. It turns out that m4 works really well as an asm macro language and I now have advanced facilities like a code generating expression evaluator and high level control flow statements without any significant change to the core assembler. It blows the doors off what contemporary assemblers (nasm, masm, tasm) can do and hearkens back to the high point of high level assemblers when they peaked in the 70s.

I just experienced this. To have gone through 8+ interviews over the course of a few months to find out that the firm essentially thinks you have a bum personality was quite the experience. Throughout my whole career, technical capability aside, my inter-personal skills have been what have really propelled me to where I am today. Some of the best Engineers I have worked with have had INTERESTING personalities and we have been able to get great stuff done despite potential incompatibilities.

In the end I'm glad it didn't work out, for one it grounded me, apparently my shit does stink. It also helped me recognize that I really do enjoy working with all stripes of people and would hate to give that up. I also feel like I get bonus points for not joining a cult.
> Studied in what sense? It's one of the best studied block ciphers in the world.

I've seen a lot of 50something execs who have been passed by on the technical superhighway.

I met a CIO of a large insurance company who didn't know what Python was.

I know a senior banker and educator who struggles with the basics of Excel and Word. (Yes, there are still people out there who are used to the days when secretaries did all the work.)

Mechanics are a big portion. That's the play making ability of using the right abilities at the right time and timing things so that you have the maximum impact. Faker's mechanics are very very sound. In the article they mention that this current meta isn't very good for him. It's because they have lessened the impact of assassins vs buffing tanks. The middle lane is often assassin and play making type characters, so the consistent impact he can have on a game isn't as great as it was in previous years.

After that it's like many other competitive activities. It comes down to decision making and seeing things before they happen. Great soccer players will tell you that they're plotting movement and spacing well ahead of what's actually in front of them.

Their (ElectroCore's) transcutaneous stimulation protocol is very cool. Being able to lower the risk profile (eliminating invasive surgery) may mitigate somewhat the fairly low efficacies that have been demonstrated for previous VN stimulators. But I'd still be quite worried about unintentional activation/blockade of non-target branches of the vagus nerve, affecting the internal organs, and the heart in particular.

The article says that it's "just a matter of hitting a sweet spot of signal strength", implying that they are trying to take advantage of the topographic organization of the nerve's fascicles. My understanding, however, is that achieving spatial selectivity has been hard enough with implantable cuff electrodes. I'm not sure how they are going to achieve it with a (handheld?) device.

Still, exciting times for electroceuticals!
I tend to agree that Twitter hasn't evolved/progressed much over the past few to several years. I think they've got a lot of potential though. IMO they should have entered the personal messaging space and been one of the top players. They could have eventually link personal messaging with discussion around topics and Twitter as well.

The US doesn't require private corporations to offer a pension at all. If they do voluntarily, it's almost always a 401k. The USPS' pension funding forced on it by a "starve the beast" Congress is much different.
A year or so ago I attended a talk by a professor whose research team is doing a lot of fascinating work with vagus nerve stimulation, particularly in the realm of physical rehabilitation after major trauma and ischemic events. Murine models indicated stimulation could trigger bouts of neural plasticity which, when coupled with physical rehabilitation, dramatically improved the rats' recovery from induced ischemic trauma. Pretty amazing stuff, especially when paired with some of the engineering work done on artificial limbs. There are also potential psychiatric and learning applications -- IIRC, he specifically singled out language acquisition as a research target -- but those, I think, are not yet as well-attested.

High security areas take security screening seriously.

When an intoxicated man in a blue shirt can successfully impersonate a member of your security staff and perform multiple private screenings of (attractive, female) travellers [0], it's clear that you don't take security seriously.

Enpass – cross-platform password manager
I wouldn't actively recommend it. I would worry if someone was using Rijndael-128/256 to make a hash function. But apart from that: the gain in reduced malleability probably offsets any reduced security margin; in other words, using a larger block makes the realistic attacks somewhat harder.

There are probably zero crypto implementations that that contain the string "AES" that use Rijndael-X/256 that aren't broken in some other comical way.
You are correct, it was insane - no other corporation is required by law to act in that way: http://thinkprogress.org/economy/2011/09/28/330524/postal-no...
What's the Vice President relevant to? It seems to me that for most of us it would be more relevant to know the name of e.g. the head of the FTC - and I don't think that's something you'd expect of people. Even if you did want to know about the Vice President, knowing his party or policies is surely more important than his name. A name is just a trivial fact, not important to actual understanding - and you could look it up if you ever needed it. I'm reminded of http://unreasonable.org/Feynman_and_the_map_of_the_cat .

Infer does bottom-up analysis: it starts at the bottom of the call graph and analyzes each procedure once independently of its callers. Analyzing the procedure produces a concise summary of its behavior that can be used in each calling procedure. This means that the cost of the analysis is roughly linear in the number of nodes in the call graph, which is not true for a lot of other interprocedural analysis techniques.

It's true that it a procedure changes that you may have to re-analyze all dependent procedures (and calling procedures!) in the worst case. However, in the bottom-up scheme you only need to re-analyze a procedure when the code change produces a change in the computed summary, and in practice summaries are frequently quite stable.

I think it's two fold. First, you can't just slap VR into existing games. It needs to be considered and implemented deliberately. Second, I don't think the XBox One powerful enough to drive an Oculus Rift. The recommended specs for the Oculus Rift are "NVIDIA GTX 970 or AMD 290, Intel i5-4590" or better. The XBox One doesn't have that CPU power and it certainly doesn't have that GPU power.

Capacity/capability is only the first hurdle at a new job. If others aren't also upset, perhaps the problem is you're just not a good fit?

The banana comment makes me think your boss is a bit of an ass, but you must realize not all jokes translate across culture/language. There is so much to delivery of any joke - failed or otherwise. When I read that line, the voice in my head sounded like Jerry Seinfeld. Maybe I've watched too much Seinfeld...maybe he was trying to be funny, but maybe he's just an ass who lacks the emotional intelligence to see he's upsetting the new guy.

Best of luck to you...though it's probably better to make your own luck and keep searching for a new gig.
Years in the making and the final industrial design of the thing is just a slight step up from a cardboard box. Awful foam around the headset, crummy plastic on the headbrace, flimsy open headphones, and it looks like it will still be unusable for anyone that wears glasses. I'm still grateful to Oculus for kicking off all of the interest in VR, but I doubt I'll ever be buying their devices if this is the best they can do.

I used Google as an example but it could very well be any corporation - local or international - and unless you believe every company in the world is a part of PRISM or is handing data to the government, my example holds but without the specifics.

Thank you for bringing up this point though, I was hoping someone would (and you can choose to not believe me if you like). Making the connection of major companies to government surveillance outside of the security-minded (ie. people who keep up or are educated on the Snowden leaks) wouldn't make this connection. Which I treat as supporting evidence for my speculation on why the "common layman" doesn't care.

Not just the exponential time hypothesis; the strong exponential time hypothesis. ETH is just the assumption that CNF-SAT requires exponential time, i.e., time 2^(cn) for some c; SETH is the assumption that it can't be done with c<1.

Edit: Apparently n here refers to just the number of variables rather than the overall size of the problem instance. But that makes sense, because that's where the exponential dependence of the naïve algorithm is in the first place; adding more clauses just makes checking each possibility take slightly longer.

A hole in a plane's fuselage or wing doesn't mean that everyone dies. You need a lot of power in order to take out a wing. Remember that wings on commercial jetliners are designed to eat an entire disintegrating jet engine in order to protect passengers in the fuselage.

Additionally, a jetliner's fuselage can take a VERY large hit at cruising altitudes and speeds [0] and still leave the plane flightworthy.

Planes are tougher (and their crews better prepared) than people think they are.

The only thing that gives the police legitimate cause to kill someone is the threat of imminent violence.

Even if there was a video of him murdering someone that wouldn't justify killing him on the spot. It would justify arresting him and letting his punishment be decided in court.

Article fails to identify if the sales figures are limited to database or whether they include the enterprise apps (i.e., EBS/Fusion).

Regardless - the quote "Does the cloud-related business grow quickly enough to offset any long-term weakness in new software licenses? To us the answer is yes" seems to indicate that this is all sales for ORCL.

Oracle relying on cloud is pitting them against some more entrenched cloud-only vendors (e.g.: Workday, Salesforce) and disrupts the business model for their main cash cows. Typical innovator's dilemma territory if that's their play.
Pre-9/11 airplane hijackings were a moderate inconvenience. At worst you wind up in Cuba or something and have to find a way to get home.

The New M4 Instance Type
Since that forum post they have implemented low persistence display which apparently helps immensely with the motion sickness some people experience.

You can watch an explanation of how it works here: https://youtu.be/HoLHHUdi_LE?t=5m41s

Essentially it just flashes the frame briefly then switches the display to black. This helps with the tiny motions your head and eyes make between refreshes which normally cause your brain to not respond well because your movement isn't matching what you are seeing.

They also implemented something called Time Warping which is very complicated but it's basically a depth-aware frame interpolation that let's the device create way more frames than actually are which helps again with keeping your brain from freaking out about the discongruity of your head motion and your vision.

This video explains how that works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WvtEXMlQQtI
