ClamAV is ripe for creating a FOSS disruption in this arena. If I were in a position of governmental power I would be pushing for foss solutions instead of proprietary black boxes that can't be audited.

Where do you think the CIA fucking learned it from? MI6 (who learned it in opium wars 1&2) taught to OSS (CIA) how to get funding off books so congress couldn't pull the purse strings and they could do whatever they wanted... and this has indeed been proven multiple times...

You are the same kind of person who called us talking about NSA pre-Snowden "tinfoil hat conspiracy theorists" and then post-Snowden came out with all kinds of variations of "why are you surprised" and "we all already knew this whats the big deal", and "if you've nothing to hide you have nothing to fear" type of bullshit.

In the conspiracy theory arena, the main sticking point is that people far too often fail to understand the difference between inductive and deductive logic. In many cases we have very little evidence to go on, so we are forced to transition to inductive logic from deductive... but inevitably those decrying the lack of evidence the loudest tend to ignore the very real legitimacy of inductive logic and it's process when one is presented with a lack of hard evidence.

Honestly I don't know. I figure scihub would be a good place to start looking though.

I worked as a sysadmin at DNA sequencing and analysis company for a while, and one of the things the boss was adamant about was how important in all factors the microbiome was, and he was repeatedly proven correct. For example, we were doing some work with a leading Chrons researcher... and doing microbiome sequencing was leading to some very promising progress. This happened in many fields, for example wound recovery biofilm.

I am very happy to have gotten the opportunity to work there, and sometimes I wish I hadn't left. My non-compete is finally up at least!

You know, I'm not sure where I got that from. Maybe I was confusing prolog with the ladder logic, or other languages from IEC 61131-3? I'm really not sure... but after some duckduckgoing I've come to the conclusion I was wrong in my previous statement... sorry.

I think modern society is in a sleep deprivation epidemic that needs to be addressed, and just weekends isn't going to cut it.

I can't believe this even has to be said... I wonder if he takes the same positon on the Clapper perjury, for example? Astoundingly shameful.

It's still going strong in the industrial side of things (like SCADA). You just don't hear much about it.

Pure html+css with as little js as possible...

eg: websites/single page webapps over native ios/android apps

I'm not surprised since the day I got into an argument with the guardians senior tech editor and he tried to argue Foss didn't matter and Linux was a fanboy fad...

The senior editor...

I would think this would be a perfect application of a deep, full keel (which offers the maximum stability and self-correction, but in a manned sailboat tends to be too deep to bring into certain places which is why so many sailboats don't have full keels.)

That said, I don't know much about sailing other than it being on my bucket list of things to learn so I've been reading up on it, and I've been actively searching for a good simulator that works on gnu/linux... (anyone know of one?)

This thread is a perfect example of everything wrong with the hn crowd. Yall make me sick.

I'm currently pursuing my data science degree after my last burnout as a senior sysadmin. I'm hoping my practical experience will be a perfect augmentation of the "data science" stuff so that I can be more confident when bringing the board or the execs proposals about how to fix things.

Let me tell ya'll all a little secret. Execs have been mismanaging infrastructure... and it's all so close to crumbling at the first puf-o-wind.

Because too many people these days are the "school is overrated, vocational schools are all we need" types who don't understand the basic value of going through the old philosophers... the title is case in point. To me it seems so obvious that there are numerous reasons that it just seems click-baity.

You know what they teach at the elite schools (like Eton for example) that most others don't? The trivium and quadrivium. Together, they form the seven liberal arts, and are a vital parts of the preperation for reading the old philosophers. More than that though, they are vital parts of having a well rounded education where knowledge at a base level in areas almost always elevates your ability to think well in others.

It is also extremely important to be able to go back and see how the old philosophers were right and how they were wrong, but also just to see the amount of wisdom they had. I'm a constitutionalist myself, so reading Montesquieu for example is a great way to dig into the meat of the underpinnings of the checks and balances system, for example. I hardly see a modern textbook get half as deep as him on the subject...

There is still vast amounts of wisdom to be gleaned from the old philosophers, and I highly disagree with the assertion of the author about it being more like poetry than knowledge.
