If you look at the JS console on some sites I work on at my company, you could come to the conclusion that we're bad developers because of all the JS errors you would see. Unfortuantly, they're made by others and we (developers) get little choice in the matter.

Well...

ANNs may turn out to have enduring usefulness, but more likely is that better (more accurate, more efficient) tools will be found. I see no evidence that ANNs are optimal for the problem space they tackle, and non-optimal techniques tend to be quickly forgotten once bettered. Such is progress.

The only reason anybody seems to think ANNs have some kind of assured longevity is because of the magical word "neural" in the name.

So I agree. It would be wrong to conclude that "AGI cannot exist" on the basis of differences between ANNs and the human nervous system. On the other hand, if and when AGI does happen, ANNs may not have a major role.
It's the exact same optimization either way.

One is just relying on adding a positive number never makes a number > 0 0 again. The other is just relying on oring a bit to a non-zero number never makes it zero again.

I think he'd suggest finding the retention number that works for you. In your example, you might have 2 years as a valid retention window for consumers, but for the contractors you might have less than 90 days depending on the size of job.

>Besides, maybe it's an egoistic point of view. Many species have perished while humanity established itself. Does it really matter if we go extinct, if the result is going to be a superior species?

In general, not wanting to die or go extinct is not considered an "egoistic point of view".

Or, let's put it this way, from all the egoistic points of view, it's the most excusable.

Why the duck should we care for a "superior species" (and a mchanical one at that)?

Would you let a "superior country" fuck up your own country?

Would you let a "superior person" kill your family and use your resources to sustain themselves?

Is it OK to extinct dolphins and lions, since we are a "superior species"?

Even more so since "superior" in this context has nothing to do with "morally better" but just means "more powerful" and "more fit to overtake others and survive".

should I risk being labelled incompetent, by telling my stakeholders about my problems or should I put in the long hours needed to get stuff done

Neither.

You should out the "star" and give your management the opportunity to solve their problem.

What's the problem with the "star"? "Getting stuff done" is only half our job. The other half is "keeping things done". You're probably the first one to discover his charade. (Yes it's a charade if you're hitting deadlines while creating techincal debt for everyone else!)

What's management's problem? They understand "getting stuff done" but obviously don't understand "keeping stuff done". They have failed by allowing all this technical debt to be accumulated. Where's the due diligence? The peer review? The code review vs. standards? The regression testing? They need to get their house in order and you're just the person with just the right ammunition to help them get started.

Your best option is also the right thing to do: fix the problem long term and give everyone else (management) the best opportunity to do their jobs properly. Anything less is bad for everyone, especially yourself. Remember, it's a marathon, not a sprint.

What you see as lemons is actually a rare enterprise opportunity (at age 23!) to make lemonade. Take advantage and become the real "star".

Extra virgin olive oil isn't good to cook with at high temperatures. I like to put it on food after it's cooked, such as drizzling it over pasta or salad. Light olive oil has a higher smoke point, I think.

I usually cook with sesame oil, ghee (clarified butter), and butter. Sometimes coconut oil too.

You shouldn't really cook anything with Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Not the good quality stuff, anyway. It's for dipping your bread in, salads, drizzling on soups or pastas, etc.
Absolutely, and awesome in baking to get fluffy crusts and textures too.
Much too little time in my experience. Two weeks is just enough to start thinking that maybe not everything is shit, but not enough to really believe it. When you get back to work in this state of mind, you quickly realize that indeed, everything is shit, and you're much worse off than before.

1-2 weeks of vacation is what "normally" suffices, i.e., what "normal" people do. "Normal" people as contrasted with "burned out" or "on the road to burnout" people. It's not going to be enough for the latter group to do what is normally done: if it were enough, they wouldn't be burned out in the first place.

a) You're just punting the timing attack off to the SHA algorithm.

b) There is no SHA algorithm in the C / C++ standard library (that I know of), muchless a guaranteed constant-time (or rather, data-independent) one.

c) The compiler is well within its rights to insert "busy_loop_for_ms(input_char);" anywhere it wishes. It is unlikely to do so, but it is allowed to. As I said: C and C++ don't have any notion of constant or variable time.
Chinese in general are more concerned with the system working than it being democratic. They see Europe and America and view our democracy as dysfunction. Those complaint boxes did work, by the way. As a female emperor, not empress, Wu Zetian was under constant threat of coups and uprisings. That she managed to rule to a ripe old age is a prime example of her effectiveness. Then again, it wasn't all complaint boxes - she was rightly feared for her iron fist, like when she did away with one of her former courtesan rivals by having her appendages chopped off and the body thrown in a vat of wine so "she could finally have enough to drink."
In practice it would just make it easier to kill -- so more killings.

In wars, invasions, etc, including those done by "democratic powers" few care about "misindentification" (or even far worse offenses to the enemies including civilians). That's why the mostly go unpunished or just get a slap on the wrist.

> $1.50 is a lot to pay for a song

So she wanted to compensate each artist for the songs she loved, but only at an amount of her choosing? I'm assuming she was expecting 99 cents, so we're essentially haggling over $0.50 here. This shows why the advertising model is so prevalent- people don't want to pay for content, even if it's a song that the person listens to 10 times a day.

That being said, the giving credit card info to an unknown domain is a real concern and I totally understand that. But it was mentioned second, after price, which feels more like justification for not being willing to pay $1.50 for a song.

Nothing to do with WebRTC but it's (allegedly) a tactic that has been used by a US-based LLC known as Prenda via torrents:

http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2013/06/pirate-bay-data-s...

Earlier this week, Prenda faced a new and serious allegation: that it had actually put some pornography on BitTorrent itself, intending for it to be downloaded so that it could start a campaign of lawsuits and threat letters.

The Pirate Bay gave the data to TorrentFreak, which says that the IP address 75.72.88.156, which uploaded some porn files that Prenda has litigated over, "was previously used by someone with access to John Steele’s GoDaddy account."

The people that are buying up these sites and walling them off hardly need more money. The blandness of profit-driven sites has nothing to do with the incentives of artists and everything to do with mindless "optimization" towards the middle by non-artists.
Yep. A classic example is multiplication - which isn't constant-time on modern machines but was on many older ones.

Currently, CMOV is looking like it could become the same thing. It currently takes data-independent time. But is not guaranteed to do so, and very well may not in the future.

The 4 Roles of the Modern MSP
How can a web site survive without ads? You can charge a subscription fee, but many users who would tolerate ads will just leave when faced with a paywall. You can ask for donations. Or you can run the site as cheaply as possible and try to support it out of your own pocket.

Given these alternatives, it's easy to see why people support their site with ads. So how can we make these alternatives more attractive? Or is there some other way for web sites to survive?

Again, the compiler is free to optimize that to data-dependent time. It's relatively unlikely to do so on current machines (the time saved is unlikely to be worth the potential of a pipeline stall), but it's free to do so.

For instance, it's legal for the compiler to insert a strcmp fallthrough (`if input == token: return true`, or rather the strcmp equivalent) at the start, I'm pretty sure.

" provide some collateral"

Is that really necessary with a 25-50% down payment?

A 50% down payment in many places in the United States, would mean foregoing home ownership until one was in their 30s. Depending on the market the person is in, (and, of course, the current interest rate, which right now is at historic lows) - the person would then end up spending more money on rent than they would have by purchasing a house and instead paying mortgage+upkeep+insurance+taxes.

The thing about UX is that you don't need all that reasoning (so to speak). I would even say that if you're reasoning too much, then you're doing it wrong! You would be indulging in giving your opinion too much credit, instead of taking a truly user-centric approach.

Really, there's no need to invoke usability in vain or talk about philosophical standpoints [1]. you just need to know what the users wants and needs, and then design fundamented on said wants and needs. Focusing on your philosophy or principles [2] is a sign that you don't care about your users, you just care about your ego.

Although it will probably go precisely nowhere, this is an interesting point. This sort of attack goes beyond a "character" attack on the company. Indeed, Google isn't directly affected by a drop in stock price; but as a Google shareholder, I am.

How is that fair or remotely acceptable? I suppose that's the purpose, and it's despicable. Once the political support for the MPAA ends, they'll have nothing left.
I disagree on both counts.

Even looking at The Witcher 3 running at its highest settings, the human characters are not photo-realistic. The game itself doesn't look like something that was captured on a camera; the output includes blur filters that look impressive but unrealistic (Toy Story isn't a good measuring stick, since it's not trying to be photo-realistic; something like the 2007 Beowulf movie would be a better comparison against live-action).

The biggest games aren't as profitable as movies today. Right now, there's about 35MM consoles capable of playing The Witcher 3 (PS4 and X1). Avengers: Age of Ultron passed $1 billion this summer. For TW3 to match its sales numbers, they'd have to sell roughly 16.7MM copies at $60. Almost half the number of console owners would have to buy this game at full-price for it's revenue number to be the same (yes, the PC market will have an impact, but that's harder to measure, but that market tends to be smaller than the consoles).
Calling them naive seems misguided, and this scenario is no longer particularly far-fetched.

The credit card situation is a completely separate concern, but a very big one. I still don't understand why there's no better international online payment method.

Why that system hasn't been implemented on a larger scale, I still don't know.

I have a bunch of other replies in this thread that touch on this, but suffice to say it's not just the comparison that matters.

For one thing, you have to assume that the SHA function is data-independent time (which, again, good luck doing in C / C++).

For another thing, noise in timing attacks doesn't prevent them. Even at levels of noise that seemingly obscure everything. And it's a very bad thing to rely on network latency being unpredictable enough.
