The best part about running a cybersecurity company: lots of easy, free marketing. It's a really good time to be in the industry. It is unfortunate that people are trusting companies to protect their information and it…
I can say with some confidence that the blame lies almost entirely with the stewards. Until we learn how to converge faster towards consensus, things are going to remain painfully broken for long stretches of time. The…
Pretty fun read. I've been into amateur radio for a while, so here's hoping it one day proves more useful than just a frivolous hobby :)
What's really weird is that's way too small a profit to risk being flagged for insider trading.
So they just started a campaign of attrition? They're going to lose unless other companies get on board. I'm assuming Canada was chosen intentionally, based on the data, to minimize losses. But this is going nowhere…
This is one of the better responses. Issues that arise: low # of data points at macro timescale, time series data (and local correlation between individual data points) making it hard to extract training/testing sets,…
If you're in the tech startup game and find AWS too complicated, you have bigger problems.
This whole incident has convinced me to actually use a tool like this, so I'm going to write one and distribute the extension code for free. I promise you won't be able to detect it, so good luck. I think anyone who…
Do any of these people understand that the autocomplete algorithm takes many other things into account? Like your personal search history, Google's internal dossier built on top of your usage of all their services, and…
What's especially shameful about all of this is that a ton of smart people rushed to condemn Applebaum before we had a complete accounting. If this many intelligent people can prematurely convict someone in the court of…
NYT put out a great calculator for this exact tradeoff http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2014/upshot/buy-rent-calc.... I personally have my own spreadsheet model as well, but the NYT calculator suffices for most…
I know that tech company M.O. is creeping invasiveness by acclimating users to marginally more Orwellian incursions of their privacy over time, but are we already at the point where something like this can gain…
Is this legal? Serious question.
We do heavy backend unit/integration testing, less so on the frontend and a lot of UAT. It's good enough to move fast with some confidence but yes sometimes you have to do tough things and that comes from experience. I…
People need to focus more on getting results. We're collectively so steeped in posturing about technology stacks and idiosyncratic decisionmaking that we've missed the bigger picture: get something done. For instance,…
Im sure BP being in the shitter had nothing to do with this decision.
That people mostly still believe Facebook is innocuous is exactly the problem. https://aeon.co/essays/how-the-internet-flips-elections-and-...
Because they're a monopolistic entity with unprecedented control of information flow. Nothing quite like this has ever existed. It's in the public interest that it be regulated precisely because it can control the…
