Yes, I skipped the text at first and wanting to see what this sine wave speech sounded like just clicked on the first sample. I understood all but a word or two on the first play through. After reading the text I seem to do about the same on the other samples as well.
Interestingly for me, although standard hearing tests show I have good hearing (somewhat above average for my age despite experiencing minor tinnitus) I seem to be worse than normal at understanding speech in noisy environments (e.g. near loud engines).
This wasn't a security disclosure at all - Facebook knew that this information was available but didn't see it as a problem. The "problem" was that somebody tried to make the public aware of how it worked.

As I understand it, this just means they're allowed to require you to sign a contract saying that they own your "off the clock" work, not that they own it by default. Or is it different in NY?
Exactly - I don't understand why even computer literate people have trouble understanding that computers aren't "an" activity, they're a gateway to millions of them, limited by your imagination.
My parents also limited the time I could spend on a computer... and I ended up writing programs on paper while I waited for the next day :P
It can be more complicated than that, though. People need down time, we need an opportunity to reflect on what we've learned instead of jumping to the next thing.
Another easy way to play with this is the DeepDreamer mac app (http://realmacsoftware.com/deepdreamer/), although it has some size limitations unless you purchase it ($15).
Agreed. This feels like adding an additional hurdle that non-minority hires would not face (most generic recruiting sites I've seen don't require degrees).
This is like a company saying "I know employees need food, but instead of giving you money, you'll be compensated in hamburgers".
I'm tired of this stereotypical judgement that poor people are so bad with money that we'd be better off generously making purchasing decisions for them.
I'm a huge fan of streaming coding, mostly because of Markus Persson and the Ludum Dare streams (one of the first http://www.twitch.tv/notch/b/293076467 where he builds a dungeon crawler, skip ahead a bit).
The big downside for me though is the login requirement just to watch - I don't think I'd watch Twitch if I had to login just to see streams. I think getting rid of that would really help you guys grow - code streams are pretty addictive once you start watching.
I wonder if a possible solution to this problem would be getting universities to require publication to open access journals as opposed to closed ones. Then journals with paywalls would have an incentive to offer open access options in order to keep the largest amount of papers.
Research papers funded by US Government agencies that spend more than $100M on R&D requires that the papers be made publicly available within 1 year after publication. Unfortunately, this does not apply to works published before 2013. NIH has had this policy in place for longer, but it still doesn't go back far enough.
