Some rumors that the admin of the servers was not arrested, but took the site down, to reconsider security and relocate servers, before starting up again. That's why BTC-e does not…

How would one, hypothetically, go about selling exploits/bugs to governments as a freelancer?

> This is quite wrong; it's still considered a crime of stealing from the bank. The law cares. Like I said, in many jurisdictions this was only recently amended with special clause…

> but if I hacked into it and took the 1s and 0s making up your balance, well, there's no question that's a crime. It's a crime of computer / network intrusion. Not a crime of prop…

I'm talking about people buying the coins from the hacker on an exchange. I think in my jurisdiction we have a law against pawning stolen goods: If the price is too good to be true…

We had over 400 applicants for a recent position. Fairly giving them a time investment of 30 minutes (reading CV, tailoring technical interview, answering questions) would mean 200…

I'd say a small coding challenge/puzzle/fizzbuzz test is a must-have if you get over a 100 applicants. I'll always look for curiosity, passion, intellectual honesty. Depending on t…

They were dumping it at 50% market price for ETH a few days ago. Don't know if they dumped it all or still sitting on a bit for when the market recovers.

There are a few problems though. - Since Cryptocurrency is international, the US SEC does not have jurisdiction everywhere in the world. When there is millions on the line, you cou…

Then the hacker proceeded in dumping the Veritaseum for 50% of market value. Now if you believe the price will bounce back, you can make a lot of profit on stolen coins. Immoral? Q…

Thanks. Just sold 100k.

Adding to 1.: This came out of MatrixNet research, which was state-of-the-art (and well-guarded) for years.

Seems that deep learning can benefit from gradient boosting too (at least, from a computational perspective). https://arxiv.org/abs/1706.04964 "Learning Deep ResNet Blocks Sequenti…

Only a few HN submissions each year are so complete that it is nearly impossible to gather comments to start a discussion. Well done! I wonder how close we are to running these "ex…

Yes. I think these architectures are very exciting and a step in the "right" direction. Eventually we will want to move from rote memorization and pattern matching to more challeng…

Your naive understanding is supported by at least one deep learning authority: > I haven’t found a way to properly articulate this yet but somehow everything we do in deep learning…

Feature importance is not quite the same as interpretability. Random Forests can give feature importance, but that does not account for interactions between features. So, in the en…

High school diploma solution: There are increasingly more ways to distribute wealth unevenly, than evenly. Reduce the problem to the simplest case of 3 persons: `a`, `b`, and `c`. …

If we could calculate the perfect model architecture for all unseen data, without relying on evaluation/experimentation/heuristics, then we'd have effectively solved the halting pr…

Then again, you probably learned how to sort a list in Python, before you heard about TimSort. Going the other way around is commendable, but not necessary. If a student wants to l…

Grasping. Grasping for unrelated tidbits to make a point you set out to make, before you reviewed the facts. Using 4chan vs. Tay as an example of the limit of chat support bots. Us…

Google does not penalize Facebook for web spam. Facebook, to my knowledge, does not do: - hidden text, - doorway pages, - cloaking, or - sneaky redirects They just show a big popov…

I also thought this was pretty rich. First broadly attack Google's income, then complain about discrimination when Google ranks your paywalled content lower. Though I trust Google …
