I wonder what motivated the move, considering that Russia generally likes things that make America look bad. Plus, both the Russian govt and the daily stormer have a few things in common: they hate the LGBT community and advocate violence

He meant that he posted it prior to blue_beetle's comment in 2010. I had claimed that blue_beetle was the first person to put it on the internet, and he posted proof that he had posted a similar idea before blue_beetle did.

For software specific jobs, that's probably true. But your GitHub would count as your online persona. But for any job outside of software, the hiring manager doesn't know what GitHub is.

To clarify, the recruiter is more specifically a transition specialist for military members and usually finds jobs in project management. Finding a first job out of the military is a little different because you're old but don't

OP, I didn't mean to imply that you did. This was me shouting stuff out to the HN crowd because I think it's interesting and it's tangentially related to the article. That, plus there's sure to be a young whipper-snappe

I think it already is. I recently deleted my FB and Twitter accounts. I had to keep my LinkedIn account because a recruiter told me that if I didn't have at least some online persona then I was weird and wouldn't be hired. I gu

I'm here to fix some ignorance, since the source of the "you are the product" idea is not these books. Metafilter user blue_beetle first put this idea online when he said "If you are not paying for it, you're not th

In the stats world, SAS users are like Mac toting hipsters that have enough spare money to pay extra for a product that "just works." R users are more like the Linux types that grumble about how enterprise products are ruining th

I'd recommend RStudio. They have a server edition and R is extremely powerful for data crunching. The two downsides are that you'll have to re-code all your dashboards/reports, and R isn't as user friendly as Tableau.

Table saws aren't in the same class as cars. Table saws are mostly used by competent people and the injury rate is pretty low. When an accident does happen it only involves a single person and usually requires a few stitches. The co

That's a rather strong way of putting it, but yes, you should assume that every device you use can be penetrated by a sufficiently advanced and motivated actor. You should also be comfortable with the fact that state level actors have

Don't take my comment to mean that Purism is evil, just that you aren't getting some ironclad security guarantee. This explains the "controversy" better than I can ( http://www.pcworld.com/article/29

The main criticism against Purism laptops is that they still contain proprietary blobs (from Intel) in the coreboot payload. We have no way of knowing what's in those blobs. Purism tries to be free, and is a step up from other vendors

Sort of. You can buy an ATSC tuner on Amazon for about $35. There isn't any SDR software written for them, so you are buying a single purpose item. The RTL-SDR dongles can't receive ATSC because ATSC is 6 MHz bandwidth and the R

They sell an enterprise version of Julia for $1500 per year. The main things you get are support, MS Excel integration, and a non-GPL license. They also offer consulting, training, and a few other flavors of Julia (large scale server base

This looks remarkably similar to the HP Envy that I bought in 2015: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B015AD1ZFA/ The HP has a slightly different port arrangement on the sides and a higher resolution screen.

The link title is misleading. MS will not have 5k people working on AI. They merged their MS Research and their AI engineering team. It's not like they are going to drop all the other research they are doing to focus solely on AI.

Part of the reason that Windows is an approved OS is enterprise support. When you pay for hundreds of thousands of licenses for a product you can demand features. If the DoD went with Debian they would need an entire corps of developers t

I think this is an important topic that needs to be addressed, but suing the government is doomed to fail. The federal government has sovereign immunity, and you can't sue them unless they decide that you can. They usually decide tha

Just like it would be silly to spy on ALL of our important NATO allies? Just because they are an ally doesn't mean that parts of the government wouldn't go through great lengths to get them to do more. They would risk a lot beca
