dgomez1092··on Chomsky on the current media landscape
I'm a bit taken aback by the findings in this article. I thought the opposite in fact when I read this. I will say that according to our own growth as a society, we have taken it upon ourselves to create an absorbable rate of finite information to be spread amongst the globe without neccesarily understanding the entire story. However, that is not to say that propaganda rules the internet. On the contrary, it would only enhance our continual perspective into the current dynamics on a global level, in order to denote patterns of auspiciousness that enable us to learn more about current niches. As such, we cannot forget that being in a capitalistic society we must also be self-aware of the market dynamics at play too. I am not an linguistics or media expert to that extent but it would be neccesary to understand that there must be a disclosure over current headlines either through financial reporting or in some ways by analytics experts whom measure the content of these newpaper organizations objectively and in essence try to understand what is the lexical information they are providing to the public. In this way we can understand and begin to denote the granular changes occuring daily. Before I get over my head explaining a difficult problem to solve I wil say I hope there could be some research done in the AI / machine learning realm in order to understand what sort of vectors would be measurable here. Thank you.
dgomez1092··on The Laborers Who Keep Dick Pics and Beheadings Out of Your Facebook Feed (2014)
Honesty to the max. In a survival analysis, do you measure the Confirmation bias --> an attenuated base-signal that can be gathered through a lexical analysis/ over a semantical evaluation average and it's rate change. I would decide that measuring emotive packets is difficult w/out cadence level measuring the baseline or determining on a semantic level, what the emotive packets are based off an intell library.
dgomez1092··on Getting Started with SSH
I've been trying to connect to my raspberry pi without interface. Even this wasn't too helpful because I can't locate its ip_addr. Thank you.
dgomez1092··on Google.com is still SHA-1 but they green-light their domains
I noticed that they use a 3 tier system. But even SHA-1 encryption, I wanted to talk about how it compares to the use of RC4 on AES. I am still learning about the effectual uses of encryption but it would seem to me that being able to use modulo as you swap indeces throughout the hash would enable more coerce authentication if not for the sole reason that it would be difficult to find out the derivative of both of the numbers that gave modulo. VS AES whose algorithm uses a reverse mapping of the hash in order to equate the distance from left to right between the indeces.It is said that RC$ is less secure as a method because of it is more prone to WEP attacks due to its inability to factorialize an instance of teh hash suring the scheduling phase, while it only allows for a 64 bit size whereas AES is more sutiable for 256 bit. It's adavtnage lies in large network systems but would be suitable for API distributions. In effect its PRG would be effective in taking a modulo variable being parsed as K[] progresses through the list in a function that combines it along wth the inverse natural e in to create an limit as protection from FMS attacks even at a byte level. Thanks for letting me comment and learn.
dgomez1092··on C# 6 exception filters and how they are much more than syntactic sugar
I see the purpose of this as more preventative. I can create a contstraint for (Exception == "x1") { throw Exception when (x1 == "<filepath>")} Now I can understand why'd you'd be alerted of this however this would cause parallel processing latency when it comes to the concurrnt evaluation of when expecptions can occur instead of code exceution itself. So instead why not run the code and create log block that for (Exceptions == true) { while (i = 0, i < y.length, i++) then y= x.length x= write.push(<sys.path>), result = println(x.trace) }

I believe this will be more effiencient than an excess of concurrent filters.

dgomez1092··on The Chemistry of Game Design (2007)
To start, I agree with the arguemt in this article. It was recently found that glutamate, a neurotransmitter actually is an activator in mesolimbc dopaminergic pathways. This neurotransmitter produced in the daphne raphei nuclues has previously only been associated with motor cortex operations and serotonergic pathways. With this relay in the in rewards system, there are means of supressing current thalamic sensory input relay mechanisms.

One of the reasons that 'addictive' behaviors exist is due to the concept of social myopia. We are not able to conceive future gains, the less concrete they are less propensity towards risk aversion we have. Fudenbergs utility functions provides a model which can be converted in to Volterra-Weiner kernel s representative of the expected belief, choice utility, emotive state, max utility gained that all interconnect (either with a specific point in time, 1st order, or non-linear, 2nd) in order to lead us to the decision that we will execute. Now the issue lies when the perceived value isn't registered, instead the actual sensory information is proccessed, this leaves us with a marginal loss, that our brain must again try to find another source representative of that kernel in order to meet that demand. Piaget discusses how schema in action-oriented environments similar to that of the game, result in schema instantiations that enable participants to assimilate or accomodate certains rewards into new learning structures. Based off sensory input these kernels are reconsolidated, but amygdala based responses activate anisomycin production leading to an inhibition oftranscription factor Zif268 neccesary for memory reconsolidation of memory kernels. Meaning that the short-terms gains approach in the skills-chain atoms must be mapped in a way that such amygdala-autonomic responses are surpressed in order to keep the marginal utility of gains relevant for a attenuation of memory reconsolidation.

Lastly, motivation from a higher perceived value and reasoned action is a neccesary function in order to be able to induce actionable motivation. In order to diffuse the burnout that occurs from non-progressive skills earned then high risk aversion gains must be presented in order to faciltate accomidation of new representatvie schemas. Through what you have called 'Red Herrings' which I call associative memory structures, then being able to use old gains and stories that relate to these past experiences either through intersymbol interference or other stimuli then then the possibilty for value attenuation exist. Thanks.

dgomez1092··on How to close a running process's socket
I always thought that it would be quicker to use tcp_keepalive_time = <set timframe> in the header or oin your Perl program in order to not keep connection request open for an unrecognized timeperiod. Dont even have to use your shell to manually close the connection.
dgomez1092··on Database Concurrency Control – Scheduling Problems
It would be useful to understand these transactions. I myself would like to be able to find data sources to test this information off of. With the different schedule hierarchies apply to an unstructure dataset and an RDBMS systems like Hadoop. I don't believe that memcache can solve this Load Balancing issue when it comes to querying transactions in a serial manner?
dgomez1092··on Programmer Competency Matrix
Thank you for sharing these standards for being a better engineer.
dgomez1092··on Passphrases via shell pipeline
Not an expert here either. I will say using a book as a corpus does remind me of LWIC software. How the shuf command was executed to generate a cryptologically safe passphrase doesn't necessarily seem to be extremly secure. Given that it's only to the 6th degree, I'm sure permutations can be computed though given the corpus as a database. I might be wrong technically speaking I understood your command structure but do not yet know intricacies of mathematical computational rates.
dgomez1092··on OneBit – Mastercard PayPass Integrated Bitcoin Wallet
What about the advent of current technology that Samsung recently acquired, Looppay (MST), that uses a magentic tokenization to be able to complete transactions? These are useful and readily accessible with 90% of POS terminals that read the magnetic stripe on your credit card. It if different from the RFID-based NFC but it can be used compatible as current POS systems transfer to EMV-updated systems that will also support NFC transactions. This MST technology is mostly srpead to Japan and not neccessarily in the US though our current terminals are already ready to accept these payments.
dgomez1092··on A Physicist Is Building a Time Machine to Reconnect with His Dead Father
Thanks for the read. I'm curious to know more about his integral derivations however,at this current moment. I must only save it and keep working. I apologize I couldn;t have beter commentary. Similar to the vector summations, I think that using integral appraoches to be able to account for the inertial dragging of objects like the processing in Maxwell architecture GPU's is a imporant way to look at laser refractions. thanks.
dgomez1092··on Passphrases You Can Memorize That Even the NSA Can’t Guess
From a UDS password framework the Dicey password generator is pretty formidable.For one things its extremley user friendly: you can memorize it easily, and there are infrequent errors attached to its usage. Deployment wise it's non-propietary software which is a plus. Lastly for security, it's easy to see that there is a big resistance to machine guessing. I liken this in intensity with an grID password, while although has a big cognitive exertion to be able to input your password within a set of grids which change, the security is high not only for machine guessing but also from internal observation since malware would be able to deduce the hash based off a new random event each time and resilient to physical observation!
dgomez1092··on Ask HN: I am the dumbest person in the room. What should I do?
All I can say to that is that you modt likely do know. Given from persinal expeeience, not only has intelligence demonstrated itself to me in the form of concise communication but also at a level best expressed in high overview. And being able to bring up the details as you go from there. In essence I would be focused on refining a particular area of your intelligence that you'd want to focus on. And learn how to best iterate struggle and the understanding in the back of your mind.
dgomez1092··on Why is it so difficult to write valid “tar” commands from memory?
Maybe I agree with facepalm. But also with informatimago down at the bottom. It's probably be in my best interest to read most unix commands straight from man.

I tend to use tar -czf <file> to untar. If it didn't work I'd proceed to tar -xzf <file> or tar xzf <file>. Even so sometime my machine wouldn't accept the command until I tried something like untar (not real!) or unzip or gzip. But those were mostly out of frustration.

dgomez1092··on Items are seen as more important when put into a relatively-large group
eh, this article was interesting in that it gave a good basic overview of how to take advantage over a small cognitive bias. It is similar to that of how middle schoolers have a fable/imaginary audience conceptualization in their development. If they think that there is a background story behind it then they are more likely to act. This is qualitative at best. Just my opinion. Thanks.
dgomez1092··on Complexity theory isn’t required to be a programmer
I would agree with your first statement. I do not agree with the authors proposition that you do not need to understand a bit more than just the surface of something like complexity theory in order to be a good programmer. Being able to develop software is different paradigm altogether, not being able to fall back on theories and a least minimal understanding of principles, wil llead you to not only forget it, but being able to test such assumptions like discussed is not optimal, especially in a work environment >> considering the agile mindset so revered in Silicon Valley..Thank for allowing my inout but thanks for a interesting article.
dgomez1092··on How to Ask Questions the Smart Way
Well glad I read this. What first came to mond was that ontologically framing a technical question is difficult. You can't ever seem to deduce a decent level of aptitude unless you become part of a comminity (working on it). So the first part, don't be stupid, well being ignorant pretty much leads me to believe I am stupid. Probably should prepend a statement with what I don't know. But spmetimes I have stupid questiin, just yesterday, I wasnt able to get why my `src` attribute was locating a local file. Simply, it was all due to a `/`. Talk about idiot. Secondly, the subject line, is it reasonable to assume that this can be a skill transposable from what social media marketers have been known to do? :p Everyone who is passionate about a facet of study should make succinct attention grabbing subject lines. Thanks for the reinforcement!! lastly it was revealing to get a better sense of how it's better to explain how you're stuck by phrasing the process you're taking to meet a goal. Thanks for letting me comment.
dgomez1092··on Ask HN: What startups are working on hard, technically challenging problems?
I read this a few months ago. I agree with its interpretation over the current state of the entrepreneur culture amongst the youger cohort of emerging adults. I believe that I am working on a unique problem. One that involves being able to create a behavioral profile on an individual based off what their online behavior (i.e. their public timeline information) and connecting it to how the tend to spend. (categories or unusual trends) Not currently hiring, but open to talk to people interested in it.
dgomez1092··on Andreessen Horowitz-Backed Leap Buses Are Hitting SF Streets This Week
I agree it is a little pretentious. But at the same time what does it say about the user? Being pretentious means a user is attempting to sway you by affecting, say knowledge of culture (an emotive response) to an object than it inherently holds. In this case the aesthetic appeal to the interior of a bus, less seats and maybe they're made of leather but to the seat itself, there is no significance in its functionality -- we give it its meaning. That to me is materialistic and gives us insight as to how we can understand users.

Say there response is to recommend to their friend, "Oh, I only use Uber when I come back home after a night out, but when I go to work I use Leap, I love that I can put my feet up on the leather seat across from me while typing away!"

Your user seems to have issues rooted in self-identifying through external means. Why is it that they feel compelled to compare Leap to Uber? To note I think it increases their socio-economic status (in their mind) for that brief moment thus generalizing them to the specific core of typical Uber users. This is a self-transformation expectancy that keeps them coming back to the product, Leap! They're not happy with themselves to a certain (obviously monetary) extent. As a business it should follow a categorical imperative to come up with a way to (a) accept the pretentious user (b) be pretentious product (c) BUT help user keep some measure of progress, allow them to get rid of that maladaptive urge >> make them begin a drawing, everytime they ride have them sketch one line at a time. Over the course of a month if they're active then they will have become a amateur artist in that timeframe -- a transformation. (d) feel good.

dgomez1092··on Big Data Analytics: MapReduce
I'm curious to know more about why there would be greater difficulty using MapReduce jobs to be able to go through a K-Means clustering analysis. As for as the computational effort on the CPU what would be the cost to your RAM's mapper when you access this remote file with all the iterative data; I'm assuming I could make an implication that Apache spark could be better since it allows for actually in memory processing. Is there really a significant difference in computational usage in mbps?
dgomez1092··on I barely graduated college, and that's okay
I enjoyed reading your story, thanks for sharing. As for brd's comment just disregard it. His generalization just means he's unwilling to get a deeper understanding of where you are coming from. Thanks again.
dgomez1092··on I barely graduated college, and that's okay
I enjoyed reading your story, as for brd below, diregard him. You published your own words and he shouldn't be criticizing and generalizing your journey to date> Thanks for sharing.
dgomez1092··on The Sad Truth About Developing Executives
What about the mantra: "surround yourself by people smarter than you". Where is the source of incompetence, is it actually lack of intellectual brainpower or is it contextual?
dgomez1092··on Ship Code Faster: Announcing GitHub Integration GA
I don't understand the benefit to this as opposed to the CLI?
