It's about creating value. It always is. Whether an individual employee, or a company. The problem is "value" comes through a subjective lens. Different employers value a given work product differently. The OP's big-

I kept wondering if the author applied any of the text/image steganographic techniques discussed to the paper itself, in a self referential sort of way. Had I been the author, I'd have felt obligated to do so.

The problem is, there's no friction (as the article states) for the board. What would the board push against to adjust itself? In the Segway, the wheels touch the ground and provide something for the motors to act against. This is m

Could you be more specific on who "we" is (anonymous user created 3 hours ago)? Rather than asserting trust is gained from simply open sourcing the project.

Farmland and mines (or the minerals in them) seem to be limited world-wide and maybe good investments (though we may improve artificial ways to produce food that are less dependent on land). Water is a regional thing (for some places it&#x2

I have similar work experience (though no patents or start-up success credentials). I did run the Google interview gauntlet (unsuccessfully - so far) over the last year. From my experience, it's less the on-command hypothetical coding

Maybe it's me (I'm sure it is - I'm no ecomomist), but a basic income seems like a perfect counter to deflation: 1. It seems like it should increase consumption as everyone would simply have more money to spend. Even if thin

Consider the wide economic effect of self-driving cars (once finally highly reliable). This one application of AI could almost single handedly push us over the edge. The job decimation will be huge: truck drivers, delivery drivers, taxis,

"In the short term, this could mean research into the economic effects of AI to stop smart systems putting millions of people out of work." This seems unfortunate and somewhat challenging to do. Our current economic model encoura

Great write-up. I like the perspective of a 30 year jump. In retrospect it feels like we are lobsters slowly boiling. When looked at from a distance, these observations become much clearer. > It's time to be using all of those hi

It depends a lot on unmentioned details. What's the opportunity cost for you (what are you giving up to go for a one-week trial)? Why would you think it would hurt your chances with other companies? I'd imagine they would pay y

Make sure tripwire is installed/configured/monitored. Watch for unexpected changes to public servers.

Block outbound request from publicly accessible servers (or white list them if necessary). This would make it harder for attackers to fetch/install more tools.

Also blocking outbound requests from publicly accessible servers (i.e. from a public web server, it should be hard to make an outbound request to fetch more stuff to install). Probably a good idea to check that tripwire is installed/co

So I can see where Bret is coming from, many of this thoughts resonate with my ideas, but I'm not so sure there's an intentional conspiracy so much as just a simple alternate perspective that hackers have. We naturally think of th

There's much that goes on in the technology world that surprises the general public that doesn't surprise people here. This is more of the same.

It's much deeper than that. A full-stack "backend" developer also understands networking and how to fully use HTTP headers as they were designed (or maybe even stretch things a bit as necessary). They understand that even though their ORM

I think visual feedback is very important in teaching kids how to program. Several months ago, I installed Alice (v2.2) ( http://www.alice.org/ ) for my kids to explore. They generally enjoyed it but the UI was a bit cumbersome in some re

Maybe not the best forum for this, but, Thanks Mike! I've been exploring d3 for a few months now. IMHO, it's one of the cleanest, most powerful JS libraries out there. The examples are great.

Pretty cool, but I wonder if the author realizes that you can steganographically encode data in any format including HTML and even JS itself. Bonus points if you can split the steganographic data into multiple domains, where building the or

If he's right about the incentive for internal code sabotage, I wonder if this will strengthen the security perceptions of open source software. Particularly strongly curated open source software. He somewhat alludes to this with his comme

I think the general difference is the location of the controller. On more traditional web frameworks, the controller is typically entirely on the server. The model twitter adopted moves the controller to the browser which just invokes ser
