Now it appears that machines can beat captcha and recaptcha very easily. So WHY do we still see these schemes in use?
Could you give me your address, and let me know when you won't be home? (I presume you no longer lock your house.)
I never saw them once clean that thing.
Dude, it's Japan. A little spray nozzle comes out after each use, followed by a mini-squeegie.
The encrypted auction paper (the whole point of the summary) is at: http://arxiv.org/abs/1202.4507
and not at the arxiv link provided in the summary.
it surprises me that the government wants their potential employees to be less informed than the general public.

TFA says: Columbia University career services got a recommendation from an alumnus that if you want a job with the State Dept, he recommends
"you DO NOT post links to these documents nor make comments on social media sites such as Facebook or through Twitter. Engaging in these activities would call into question your ability to deal with confidential information, which is part of most positions with the federal government."

... there is no way for me to judge how appropriate this was or wasn't.
This is slashdot. What site were you looking for?
Utilitarianism negates free will, property rights and individuality when misapplied (and perhaps when correctly applied too).
Meanwhile, free will, property rights, and individuality negate everything else when misapplied (and definitely when correctly applied too).
Everything is a tradeoff; that's life.
I'm just amazed that there's a court in the U.S. that doesn't subscribe to the opposite fundamentalist philosophy: sacrifice everything for the weakest. But given that one exists, I'm not surprised it's Texas.
