I'm not "crazy", not at all.

Math is supposed to be useful.
There's a long track record that
it can be.
I studied math hoping it would
be useful, and I believe that
it is for my project.

Doing some applied math might
seem unusual, but it's not
"crazy". The unusual part
indicates an opportunity.

A "name"?
For my work so far, I've not
needed a static IP address so
have not paid extra for one from
my ISP. So neither do I have
a domain name yet.

I won't get a static IP address
or a domain name until just
before I go live, ASAP.

My startup is for Internet
search, discovery, recommendation,
curation, notification, and subscription
for safe for work Internet content
where keywords/phrases work at best
poorly.

My project might become a big thing.

The user interface is just a
simple HTTP, HTML, CSS Web site,
also simple enough for
smart phones.

So, my software takes in data,
manipulates it, and sends
the user the results. The
crucial core of the manipulations
is from some math I derived
based on some advanced prerequisites
I got mostly in grad school.

Right, the users will see the
results but not be aware of
any of the math. What the
user does with the Web site
and the results they get back
will seem intuitively reasonable
and maybe even natural, but
actually doing the data
manipulations
in a way with good promise
of good results is a
challenge, one that I
addressed mathematically.

The theorems give good evidence
that with some good data the
results for the users will be good.
Given what I'm betting on this
project, I want the good evidence,
up front, long before TIFO results,
traction, etc.

My main use of italics is a common
one, mark a word as being
used in a sense maybe not the
same as in a literal dictionary
definition and, thus,
needing some caution, reinterpretation,
and/or apology.
To those who don't see a problem with leaking timing data:

KeePass goes to great lengths to do in-memory encryption of data. I'm not saying these attempts are properly done, but there is certainly no lack of trying.

The only reason to even bother is assume that this memory can be accessed by an attacker. So either you subscribe to that attack vector and thus must also accept the necessity of avoiding timing attacks, or you reject this threat vector and must question why KeePass engages in all kinds of memory-obfuscation security circus/theater.
Another aspect is the accounting rules. When a company has direct employees working, they show up on a P+L statement in the labor section. When a company is "buying a service" from an outsourcer, staffed completely with H1B and offshore people, it gets treated differently and can be accounted for in a different section of the P+L. I believe this is enough for larger companies to see moving hundreds or thousands of jobs to this model for pure tax implications. Especially if they can "amortize" out the cost of building something by 3 years. This is in addition to the 1/3 to 1/4 cost.

Change the accounting rules to make companies track H1B and outsourcers as labor and it may make some companies second guess this model.

Nobody is mentioning quality either... since that doesn't show up in a spreadsheet or accounting system. The fact that your projects are taking longer and are buggier is more of a soft metric but definitely will impact the bottom line.
Any idea of the English versions do it credit or if a lot is lost in translation?

I strongly doubt it. Singapore has interesting leadership that isn't afraid to be controversial, but engineer salaries there are terrible. A senior engineer in Singapore makes $47,000 according to Glassdoor (compare: $95k Chicago, $113k NYC, $38k Budapest, $67k Berlin, and $124k San Francisco).

Chicago probably has the best salary/cost-of-living ratio and Budapest isn't so bad because it's cheap. Singapore, on the other hand, has NYC-level rents if you can't get into high-density housing.

It's not great for software engineers (compared to executives) anywhere but, at least in the other cities I listed, there's a fighting chance of them getting something beyond a college lifestyle.

If you don't have at least some engineers making money and getting to call shots-- I'll argue till I'm blue in the face that the current Valley culture doesn't have enough of them, but it has some-- then you don't get innovation. You get the same tired old ideas, sped along just slightly by a higher degree of technical efficiency (the rising tide).

I'd love to be wrong about this, but I've interviewed with a couple of Singapore companies in my life and the culture that I've seen is just not progressive nor is it pro-technologist. It seems to still be a world where businessmen call the shots-- but I'll admit: I don't live there. Given that it was difficult to get anyone but a bank to pay for relocation (I became "cat relo guy", for one place, because I mentioned that it'd cost $7k to move my cats... that negotiation, predictably, fell through) I'm pretty sure I never will.

Or can they still fill a demand by focusing on privacy?
Yeah, I love his channel. Many hours of fun, interesting information and techniques.
Good points. I've just been too lazy to encrypt the directory myself.

Running a separate vm is an interesting idea that I had not thought of.
I didn't check but I assume they use SecureString.
On top of the revocation issues, StartSSL is only free for personal use; if you intend to obtain a cert for a small business or some other non-personal purpose, they won't give you the cert. I also recall StartSSL being incredibly difficult for those who only have a P.O. box for a mailing address (as was the case for me; my apartment didn't have a mailbox, so I had to receive all mail at a P.O. box, which StartSSL didn't like).
What about KeePass 1.x?

And considering you can freely copy the database and someone corrupting your own is "only" going to result in you not being able to login, is that really a threat model that is more important with just encrypting everything so they can't be read?
Perhaps you can link to this for Emacs:

"Torvalds released the Linux operating system from his college dorm room in Finland in 1991."

Apparently the reporter assumed that everyone who goes to college, lives in a dorm room. But in this case that was not true.
Packages can definitely have a significant impact on Atom's performance. You can observe all kinds of events, and binding a slow handler to certain events like text changes and cursor movements can make the editor feel sluggish.

It's important for Atom's extensibility that these kinds of events are provided, because it allows many major editor features to be implemented as separate packages, but it means that naively-implemented packages can really slow things down.

Many Atom packages are pretty new, and their authors may not have put a lot of effort into optimization yet. In the past few months, the team has put a lot of effort into stabilizing and solidifying our APIs. We're hoping that now that the APIs are stable, the package ecosystem will really start to mature.

I get what you're saying, but I'm actually happy the FBI is getting involved when it's a matter of "hacking" (regardless of the appropriateness of that term) involving a multi-million (billion?) dollar companies.

Or to put it another way, I'd much rather the FBI spent it's time prosecuting crimes committed by large companies than screwing over kids like Aaron Schwartz for their minor indiscretions.

Bitcode alone might not be infinitely malleable. But given that Apple knows intimately the original platform the submitted app targeted, it has the ability to add additional logic in iTunes Connect that permits tweaks and assumptions you couldn't get away with in the promiscuous and agnostic setting of a generic compiler toolchain.

Ah yes so private investors have more specific information while public market investors focus on overall market trends. But is there no way to public investors to get a glimpse of the internals of the companies without disclosure of competitive information? Maybe through some kind of report by a consultancy under NDA, or a small group of investors under NDA giving an investment report?

Yes, this is a danger. In 2011, Iran probably goofed on a US drone's GPS (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran%E2%80%93U.S._RQ-170_incid...) in order to get the drone to land where it wasn't supposed to (in Iran). Further, the technology to do this is almost mainstream. Surveyors use something called "differential GPS" to get very accurate locations. I bet that differential GPS transceivers could be hacked to override, rather than just correct, regular GPS receivers.
The title is somewhat misleading... Javascript originated delivery is probably more accurate
The UI in the formation companies is often worse and asks exactly the same questions.
Yeah, still more work to do. There are other things that are slow in that keydown event. We'll get there.
Note that although this bug report was forcibly closed, the fix is "This change adds an "enable_hotwording" build flag that is enabled by default, but can be disabled at compile time."

Consider what this backdoor does. It listens to any conversation in the vicinity of the phone and reports it to a remote site. You can't see its keyword list. You can't tell when it's transmitting to the mothership.

The headline is pretty misleading. The ECHR decided that it's not a breach of european rights if a member countries law stipulates a liability for a commercial provider. For example german law still requires that the provider is notified before any liability takes effect. So the provider is liable to remove offending content in a reasonable time after being notified, and this decision doesn't change anything.

Me too, now it all seems so horribly pretentious and the entire series just some sexy veneer over a lot of milquetoast AI and information theory concepts.

The first movie still holds fairly well as a stand-alone. I feel there's a reason sci-fi creatives get reigned in by management often. Its to avoid sequalitis where movies become info dumping grounds for whatever books the director read recently. Frankly, I feel the series would have been better as a bunch of books instead of movies with a lot of 25 cent words tossed it. I feel embarrassed for the Watchowski's anytime "The Architect" is on-screen.

> So nodes are just to assume that other nodes are alive/reachable/functioning? How would you propose detecting node health without some form of heartbeat?

generally there is probably enough traffic between nodes to just run failure detection off of txn failures / normal comms (rpc,etc) without running a separate failure detection mechanism, but this assumes every node is already talking to every node, which is not safe, but let's explore solutions to that. detecting failures from normal communication will likely be even faster than a heartbeat, provided traffic frequency is higher than the heartbeat (use case contingent). to get around the issue where all nodes aren't already in communication, could broadcast any local failures each node might observe and you save the traffic of the heartbeat in the normal case, a gossip mechanism could work to reduce the N^2'ness of that communication -- it seems likely that multiple nodes will detect a given failure at around the same time, we don't want each of them broadcasting that, potentially leading to more failures from increased net traffic. since the nodes who were in communication with the failed one have detected it, we really just need to update the nodes who weren't so that they can find out about it in a closed interval (same guarantee as a heartbeat, potentially looser bounds).

maybe this is being too optimistic, but at least it's fun to think about :)
Thanks for sharing. There seems to be confusion, however.
I am not arguing that it's good for society or anyone other than the corporations that profit (i.e. the glaziers, if you will).

I am simply saying that there is a design to the way things currently work. It is not random, accidental, or born of some myopic undervaluing of human capital.
This sounds like a problem that calls for the work of Dr. Octavian.
I think Blair is an interesting rarity that distracts from the real problems with media. Very few reporters have the bad judgement to make up entire stories; that's why Blair is newsworthy. Do his sins tell us anything about journalism as a whole?

Well, Blair was good at catering to his editors; he knew his editors would love a story about frat boys behaving badly. How does that manifest in the work of more cautious reporters?
It's lucky for them that Bill DeWitt Jr. chaired the search committee who hired the new commissioner. (Shades of Goldman Sachs' perennial association with the Treasury Department...)

However, if the Cardinals are as smart (and perhaps as ethical?) as they previously seemed, they'll get out in front of this, and voluntarily give up their 2013 pennant, as well as fire whoever was involved in this harebrained scheme.
You store u/p to your Lawyer's website, which has a copy of your Will. You die and the Executor of your Estate tries to access the Lawyer's website, only to be met with "invalid password".

It turns out that the kdbx on your private server got silently corrupted (ex. fs corruption) ~5 years prior to your death. However, your Dropbox backups only have 30 days of previous kdbx versions.

Can your Executor handle the disappointment?

I believe this issue is grave enough.
Singapore had some success in the consumer electronics field with Creative (remember the Sound Blaster?). There is Razor, whose CEO is Singaporean, but the company isn't based there.

Regionally, Singapore is already a tech hub and will continue to dominant that region. But I doubt it will ever threaten the Valley or even places like NY or LA.

For me specifically, Atom was mostly replacing Notepad++. At the time I was testing out Atom, I found that it didn't consistently save the documents you had open during your last session. There may or may not have been other things, that's the biggest one I remember.

Neither it nor Notepad++ could handle gigantic text files, which is a real shame as well, though not a point of comparison.

I'm a hue PyCharm fan, but if this is true then vim and Sublime must be barely usable. Python, it's great at...but open a big JS file and it...will...take...forever...to do the JS syntax highlighting, if it ever finishes. CoffeeScript is even worse, and almost always crashes.

It's always a little weird, because I have no performance issues anywhere else in it, and it's got ~7GB of RAM it could use.

Somehow that's a little more scary.

It's not clear how the hatch on a stopped pod would open between service points, if at all. So you're stuck in the pod, possibly with no lights or power either to the pod or the tubeway in the case of damage.

Rescuers have to enter at the station and travel some KM to the pod, how, by crawling? If they need a rescue pod, it would have to be lifted from the ground to the service door, so they need a crane now; that's more hours.

Then there's the small matter of air supply for passengers.

Poking around on wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compatible_Discrete_4), I learned that true four-channel quadraphonic sound, for LPs, was obtained by further recording two more signal streams in the same groove.

These other channels were recorded with FM (frequency modulation) on top of a 30 kHz carrier. The 30 kHz carrier was just high enough to isolate the quad channels from the 0-15 kHz ordinary left/right stereo channels.

And then, the FM portion, centered around 30 kHz, was added to the regular baseband audio signal (0-15 kHz), and all encoded into the diagonal displacements you mention in your comment.

Not only that, but "[target data layout] is used by the mid-level optimizers to improve code, and this only works if it matches what the ultimate code generator uses. There is no way to generate IR that does not embed this target-specific detail into the IR. If you don’t specify the string, the default specifications will be used to generate a Data Layout and the optimization phases will operate accordingly and introduce target specificity into the IR with respect to these default specifications."

Much of this article is simply inaccurate speculation.
