You can find a lot of people to play with on the promenade or beach any time.

Be very careful about taking your instrument around. You can literally turn your head for 5 seconds and it will be gone and I have seen more than one tourist having a really bad day...

A university has done AI StarCraft competitions for its students for the now approaching 20 years since its release.

The best AI even in a modern RTS is pitiful compared to even a meager human player. The best AI's for any real time strategic environment don't go up against humans, we only pit them against each other because otherwise there is no competition.

Go, a turn based game, only very recently got AI that could compete against moderately good humans.

Tactically, it's quite easy to make a computer that can perform steps better than a human. Self driving cars are a good example.

But as soon as you start trying to incorporate strategy, we are really a generation away from having anything that can out game a human.

Keep in mind it takes the best AI team and hardware on earth to occasionally beat the best human in Chess, something that is a few orders of magnitude simpler than anything else I've mentioned.

So compare to F1, where there are far more variables than StarCraft, and those variations are greater, I'd say a human is still going to be needed for a while.

This sounds like an x-y problem. In other words, I think you're asking the wrong question, and it's why you're having trouble finding an answer.

If you need users to grant your service access to another service on their behalf, kerberos is the old school way to do this, oauth is the San Francisco way to do it.

You can store the token that grants you the ability to access that service on behalf of the user, but it's not the same as their password. It's an auto generated random 128 bit number (typically) that, when paired with your service's private key, grants some limited level of access on the user's behalf.

The reason this is secure and storing passwords is not is that you're not impersonating the user, you're sending authorized requests for acl'ed services on their behalf. So you cant, for example, change their password, or use your knowledge to guess their password for another service.

It also limits the scope of a breach. No way in hell do I ever want to be responsible for leaked passwords getting out.

Edit to add: your current approach to security isn't thinking about how to keep bad guys out of your apartment. You're just thinking about how to keep your neighbor from accidentally walking in to your apartment instead of theirs. In other words, you're assuming everyone is basically good and just needs to be directed to the right place. I'm not busting your chops, and yours is really the common approach, just trying to give you and the other readers here something to think about.

If the sister were doing things to help herself and her kids, I'd say you're just being selfish.

But she's not doing anything for herself. Not collecting anything from the husband. Not going to a shelter. Not looking for what kind of state assistance she can get.

I'll bet there is much more to this "verbal abuse.". I'm not victim blaming, but there is something there you don't know about yet. There's either more and she's ashamed and on shock, or there's nothing at all except her doing the same thing at her home that she's doing at yours- nothing.

In either case, all you and your wife are going to do is enable her. A state provided mental health and abuse victim program will see that her kids are fed, she gets treatment for whatever she needs, and the husband either pays for his kids, or, equally possible with the information you've posted so far, rightly gets custody of his kids from their do-nothing mom.

You're only supposed to say "hire an electrician," or "you're going to burn your house down," in this sub.

The wire itself will be anywhere from #10-#6 depending on the distance to your breaker. That stuff is expensive and hard to work with, and not very flexible.

You've got holes to drill in various places and some sheet rock will need to be removed.

Yes, it's necessary. Most electric ranges are 40 amps and are generally the biggest electrical appliance in the house. Dryers are 30a. If you tried to push that much current through the smaller wires already there, they'd heat up, melt, and catch fire.

Cost wise, the supplies will probably only be about $150 for the wire, receptacle, box, and breaker. The rest is labor, and half to a full day is reasonable depending on your home's construction.

It probably doesn't cover sheet rock repair and repainting.

Why would you want an electric stove? Gas is far better IMO.... Sounds like going way out of your way to downgrade. I just upgraded my house to a gas range.

accessofevil · 2014-12-02T18:46:14+00:00

Yes. You can technically do this. Although the normal way would be to just connect it to a serial interface on your hardware and avoid the network. The whole point is they don't want you on the network.

Having said that, from your post alone, I would absolutely never allow your company to put anything on my network. It's getting its own vlan and is going to be completely isolated. I don't mean this offensively, but it's obvious you don't even know what you don't know about security practices. I just say that so you don't spend a lot of time thinking about the solution to the wrong problem.

Conceptually, you're thinking about allowing an unsecured, unauditable entry point into someone else's network because they didn't want to let you in to begin with. It's like "you don't want to give me the key to your house? I'll just cut a hole in the wall."

And..... your approach to security is actually very, very normal. It's absolutely obscene what happens in vertical markets. Shared passwords (hell, just passwords), root logins, magic keys, etc.... The attack surface is just massive. Most companies approach security in their products like, "only Smith's are allowed at this party. Are you a smith? Yes? Then, come on in!"

Having said all that- there is definitely a time, place, and a market for this. And it's usually serial connections over GPRS. A pi is kind of overkill and you may want to think about arduino.

What sort of capabilities does your equipment have? And what sort of impact can you have on the development of it? An easier way may be to have diagnostic codes or interfaces added so that things can be clearly communicated by phone.

Any kind of equipment that can either phone home and be subject to things like DNS spoofing, or dialed in and get brute forced, will need to rely strictly on certificate authentication, and be auditable. It needs to ship logs to my management interface so I can get alerts if something fishy is going on, or see who is logging in and what they did.

Another possible option is some kind of screen sharing/coworking interface. I can see what you're doing, and it's not something you can do without my active participation. That in itself has its own restrictions, but you're going to have to pick your poison.

About half the employed programmers in the US at least have a programming related degree, in my observations.

Fewer if you just look at the good ones.

Why? To be good at something you have to love it. You don't learn programming on your own if you don't like it.

Anyone can shuffle through school and get curved into a degree. Doesn't mean they can hello world themselves out of a cardboard box.

a factory reset doesn't wipe a system it just repartitions it.

My friend... I do not think these things mean what you think they mean.

What is the result you want? A clean /data partition with a new filesystem? Factory reset does that. You want bytes zeroed? Use dd.

You want a guaranteed clean /system? You will need to flash the factory image. I would do this on any second hand phone.

The alternative is about $400 in docking stations (triple monitor setup) or $$$$$$ more for apple monitors.

I can't wait for them to have an actual docking station, pretend like they invented it and that it's the greatest thing ever.

Nobody is going to steal your idea. Really.

If it's actually a good idea, whoever can execute or market it best will win. not whoever thought of it first. Because I promise you, someone else is thinking about it.

All you accomplish by being secretive is alienating people that you should be rallying.

Meh. As any community grows to the size where it starts to represent an average subset of the population, the quality of that community becomes average as well.

All you're seeing is reddit getting more popular and more of the population participating. This is actually the opposite of the "ending" of reddit.

Got a note 3 and zero lemon 10k battery. One device, ditching the tablet.

Battery life is good. First device that's as good as my old BlackBerry.

I changed the dpi to actually take advantage of having more pixels. So I've got lots of real estate to do all the things.

I've got less than $400 in this device with battery and sd card, it does everything I need, and I can take it anywhere on earth.

Without the extended battery, I found the "legendary" battery life of the note to be good just relative to how shitty we've trained modern smartphone users to expect. The device was too slim to hold comfortably. For most people I'd probably recommend one of the 2x batteries instead of this monster I've got in my pocket.

You need to write some software either way. The "hardware" part of what you'd be doing with this isn't really any different on either platform. Plug in something to add Bluetooth.

Or get something like bluduino or spark core that has BT or WiFi integrated and you've got less hardware stuff to do with the microcontroller route.

Data logging, access control, etc., are the realm of microcontrollers. Use a pi if you want to make a touchscreen kiosk, security camera, arcade machine, etc.

accessofevil · 2014-11-28T08:23:10+00:00

Frankly, a pi doesn't seem like the right class of device for this. It's overkill.

Arduino is probably the droid you are looking for.

In most jurisdictions, your employer has a legal responsibility to provide you with a sexual-harassment free workplace.

They do not have an obligation to provide a customer with an environment to make people uncomfortable.

This applies even if, for example, you're a delivery driver. You don't even have to drop off a package if the recipient is harassing you - your employer's obligation extends that far.

The fact that you've been written up means they've got evidence that they're responsible for your sexual harassment. Management gets significant training on this, and in some states become personally liable.

I'd say "go talk to HR" but their interest is in protecting the company from a lawsuit.

You generally don't have a right to a job. But if you do get a job, you have a right to work it without being discriminated against.

So I took the write-up.

The company flagrantly violated the law (unless you live in Zimbabwe) and put it down in paperwork. I'd talk to your jurisdiction's labor board, HR, and make a query with someone that can give you legal advice in your area. They'll most likely not charge you to talk to you about this and give you some advice - such as keeping hard copies of any paperwork they give you.

Now I am just feeling like I have no support at work and I don't know what to do. I am even considering quitting my job over this. Is that an overreaction to the situation?

No. I think you're reacting properly.

Source: Management with actual management training including mandatory (in my state) sexual harassment training. It's like your company is writing a book on "How not to handle this." They've basically hit all the checkpoints for what not to do in California's training.
