Fair warning: she means the Federal Reserve doesn't have the authority to regulate Bitcoin. The Federal Reserve is not the nexus of financial regulation in the US Government, and Congress can delegate additional authority to the Fed any time it wants.
As evident from the comments above, one of OS X's biggest weak points is feature discoverability.

I love how OS X stays out of your way, but most regular users never get to take advantage of greater complexity. You have to be in the mindset of one of 'us' (reading every update to Apple's PR) to get a handle on everything OS X can do.
The way things are going, the floor level of intelligence and skill required to be a productive and comfortable member of the economy (i.e. not stocking shelves at Walmart, tending bar, or doing other minimal-skill drudge work) is rising steadily. Somebody with an 80 IQ is not ever going to be a software engineer, or a doctor or a lawyer. We used to have jobs that allowed these people to at least enjoy a lower-middle class existence, now they are scraping just to survive and stay off the streets.
Yes, depending on the work factor chosen. See http://wildlyinaccurate.com/bcrypt-choosing-a-work-factor/#b... for a table of work factors and associated time to check a single password. The work factor is a trade-off involving burning CPU cycles, load on the servers processing logins, and user experience. If you choose a work factor resulting in each password verification taking half a second, it's essentially computationally infeasible to brute force any decently chosen password.

Someone could go through the list of the top million passwords in a week of CPU time and, because each hash has its own randomly generated salt, the effort spent cracking one user's password yields no insight into anyone else's password; the entire effort needs to be repeated per user. If your password has sufficient entropy (eg: long and randomly generated, not appearing in any password lists) then -- barring some revolutionary mathematical breakthrough -- you don't need to worry about someone discovering your password before the heat death of the universe.
logs -- perhaps they hired a security firm to do periodic audits.
It's easier on keyboards (since we spend most of our time typing lowercase letters as part of text) and also on mobile (since you don't need to do annoying and error-prone context switching for capital letters or symbols).

I think this is one of the greatest unspoken benefits of Diceware-style passphrases!
Buy a smartphone. You can get a Huawei on eBay for $20. You don't even need a sim or a contract, just connect to wifi and download the Authenticator app.
Just because you don't understand it, doesn't mean it's not relevant to others. The kind of thinking you're proposing is how we end up with stupid car analogies and comparisons of hard drive size to libraries of congress.
If I understand correctly, the 10% of net worth restriction applies to investments in a single startup.

That being the case you can guarantee there will be commission-earning intermediaries or platforms misrepresenting the concept of portfolio diversification to encourage people to invest in as many startups as they can afford...
You should have chat
It will take you more than 10 minutes to just choose the ircd to use. Not to mention configuration and maintenance.

I looked through the ircds available in Debian repositories the other day and they didn't look very fresh. So you might also have to package them from source and make sure that stays up to date.

Hosting your own services has some appealing security qualities (like being able to put them in your VPN) but it's far from a panacea and definitely harder than signing up for Slack/Gmail/GitHub.
Most the things in this list are things that you technically don't need a GUI for, but a GUI is so much better that doing it in command line is pointless. For instance, you could do all those file operations in the terminal, but chances are you're already browsing files using a GUI file manager so opening a terminal to do those things is pointless. Terminal is great if you want to do something complicated that a GUI program can't handle, or you need some sort of automation (ie. programming).
A few basics:

Magnification "power" is pointless nonsense. If you see advertisements about "100x magnification" or some such, run. That's the mark of a poor telescope you'll hate. What matters is the size of the aperture: The bigger the better.

You'll see lots of recommendations for Dobsonians, because reflectors are the least expensive way to get big apertures, and Dobsonians are the least expensive reflectors. Dobbies have one disadvantage: They cannot be used for long-exposure photography because they cannot track the sky. (Well, they can be outfitted with computer-controlled motors but that's going to add so much cost you might as well just buy a Newtonian reflector on an equatorial mount.) If you don't care about astrophotography this is a non-issue.

Refractors use lenses instead of mirrors and cost a great deal more for a given aperture than an equivalent reflector. (Any refractor that does NOT cost a lot more than an equivalent reflector is absolute garbage.) Refractors are great if you want to look at terrestrial objects in addition to space objects, because you look through them rather than through a hole in their side, and the image will be right-side-up. Right-side-up doesn't matter with space objects. Reflectors are almost always better for most people nowadays than refractors. Don't spend a lot of money on a fancy refractor until you're sure you really need one.

You'll see some discussion about buying lenses for Dobsonians: That's about eyepieces. Every telescope needs an eyepiece and all eyepieces are lenses. The "lens vs. mirror" debate is only about the main optical element in the 'scope which determines the aperture.
I didn't say it was a silver bullet... I said "Don't Use setup.py".
Haven’t heard AFS mentioned in years. I was co-admin of a SunSITE back in the early 2000s and we used AFS for mirroring. Whilst it was quite neat, it was quite complex, especially due to the underlying intricacies of Kerberos. It would be great to have a more modern version of AFS with its distributed nature, central name spaces etc but with a truly open, horizontally scalable distributed file system.
I vote canard.

1) French for duck which keeps the with the language history.

2) it’s a loan word into English for unfounded rumor. Which is kind of fun.

3) the second English definition: “small winglike projection attached to an aircraft forward of the main wing to provide extra stability or control”
What does a theorem prover do if not provide extra stability or control to our own understanding? (This one’s a bit of a stretch.)
I had to disable "Fast Startup" in Windows because it would make WSL lose its mind. So whatever they are doing, it has issues as well.
The same thing happened in reverse with the Toyota MR2, which in France was just called the Toyota MR, because "MR2" sounds like a swear word (merde) in French.
I know many ex-Googlers who consider working there to be low enough stress that they joke that they'll retire one day to go work at Google.

That's probably an exaggeration, and they may have just had particularly easy jobs, but everything I know about these two companies tells me that Google would be much less stressful to work at than Amazon.
I think the term used for Hardware is Open Access, not Open Source
Meh, I used to take better photos with a disposable pocket camera where you take off the shutter to allow for long exposure. But it’s a step in the right direction. Ultimately you would indeed need to filter a lot of thermic noise to allow for longer exposure on a CCD. (I started digital Astro photo years ago with an ST6 that needed to be cool down to -60C using a Pelletier module)
Google isn't like that. There is no CTO and even people in high levels can change teams.
Just retire and make room for other people, the world doesn't need you.

Why is that incredible? It is pretty common for many institutions to have that kind of email. Universities for instance often have similar emails so that just by looking at the email you know if the person is a teacher / student / temp worker and which chair they belong to, sometimes which campus in addition.

Many big companies have similar things to identify the BU of the email holder or indicate a contractor status (helpful for security policies).
You tacitly assume that I am not aware that software products have an R&D cost, and you are (insultingly) wrong. Of course they do. And without artificial scarcity that R&D cost will not be recouped. The default state of software is an open source model, where the "developing, building, and deployment" doesn't cost money because there isn't any.
Most people with this complaint have never worked in finance or big banks. Seriously, working in tech for a tech company is a techies dream, dont squander it. It sounds to me like you are too dependent on your job for the happiness in your life.
Seriously, in what parallel universe do you toss The Economist and The Guardian in the same bucket. The only think they have in common is the article in the name
> Though many commercial cat diets are high quality and rich in protein, it’s possible that some plant-based diets lack certain micronutrients that cats instinctively try to supplement with hunting.

Cats are true carnivores. They have high protein requirements and their diet must be made exclusively of meat products. This article suggests that many people are not taking care of their cats properly!
This whole thing is so wierd. More importantly, true or false I don't see bloomberg winning either way. False and they've just doubled down on a bogus story. True and they've just exposed something that's probably been kept very secret for very long by three letter government agencies that can't be very happy with them. And how the hell is this not on the front page of hn?
Problem #1 is not actually observed though. We know from many, many studies that dietary cholesterol is not directly correlated with serum cholesterol. The article even alludes to the point that the body regulates cholesterol on its own regardless of diet.

Surprisingly, the box is gone now.

But first few times I visited the site, I got just a subscription box as main page content. I actually typed in a random e-mail, got "Thanks!" as a reply, and that was all.
Android and iOS have more than 95% market share of the smartphones market. Plenty of people access the web with feature phones. In fact, that's why Whatsapp has clients for Nokia S60 and S40.

To me, footnotes serve a different purpose, e.g. linking to papers, like the Feynman lectures site does. Expounder is more about indicating that you don't know something, so the text itself can change to accommodate you.
I was also pleasantly surprised by MicroCenter recently. There's one in Brooklyn I had no idea about until I was searching online for places to buy a Raspberry Pi and accessories. Walked in there and it was like a (pleasant!) throwback to the computer store of the 90s.
I think you're being called a troll because you're proposing incarceration as a solution, and that's a fundamentally antiscientific position. Inconsistency + agression usually passes the duck test for a troll.

Seriously, it's just ridiculous. There is no legitimate reason whatsoever to make hard browser whitelist like that in 2013 -- without button like "use anyway" or something. It hard-blocks even the new Opera, while the new Opera uses the same exactly engine as Chrome. And you can't just simply spoof user agent in old-school way, no, it uses client-side detection, so you should make GreaseMonkey script just to run the app. On the other hand it doesn't warn Chrome users with HW-acceleration disabled, and just breaks. It's IE6 story all over again.
Is there any good advice on overcoming procrastination due to social anxiety? Things like phone calls, dealing with unknown people, etc. I have a fear that I am not very knowledgeable about something (like law, or buying some stuff or service) and that others will cheat me, and it causes me problems. Interestingly, if I schedule a meeting, I am willing to handle it, but if I won't, I will try to postpone a lot. And even if I gain more experience in one area, it will then creep again in in another.
Probably wouldn't work. The guards would break them. There's lots of money to be made off the illicit economy surrounding prison.
I fail to see how Firebug has a better UI then WebKit Developer Tools?

As far as I am concerned they are the same in that regard. And since both of those tools are not built by "developers", but by "frontend engineers" it doesn't really matter.

I spent like 15 minutes trying to figure out how to attach Firebug to the browser window. Only to find out that the upward pointing arrow in a gray circle means attach to browser window. On WebKit I click an icon that looks like a browser window with developer tools.

The resources tab in WebKit is ten times better then the mishmash of CSS/Script/Net/Cookies tabs all spread out.

Anyways that is just my opinion, and as far as I am concerned Dragonfly was the best.
Which depends on the cases tested by Sharp – as the GP, depending on the hardware you use, you can probably get 100% or 0% (if you try really hard).

Yes of course humans can be forced just as animals are. However, under a functioning legal system, they can be experimented on if and only if they approve having viewed and understood the potential benefits and costs and the risks associated.

Getting lots of exercise makes it easier to fall asleep at night. The ultimate solution, however, is to have a small child.
Short answer: yes, it's location.

Slightly longer answer: It almost always pays to go to the center of your field. You get paid less at a relatively small company in Portland because they get paid less. Firms in Silicon Valley focus on eliminating whole industries; when they succeed at that, they capture basically all the value that the incumbents in that industry had. That gives them large quantities of cash, and since there are so many other companies in the region competing for the same talent pool, a lot of that cash goes to employees.

BTW, $80-100K/year is quite low in Silicon Valley. That might be a starting salary at Microsoft for someone fresh out of school.
wow that was incredibly useful. whats funny is I didn't even consider not outsourcing the project. In fact, most of the costs associated with outsourcing was shipping. I wonder if I'd be able to find a local printer that does playing cards. As far as the plastic goes yea, that would be difficult.

You don't happen to know of any good printers in the Portland area do you?
It takes just one man to rile the public. What we need is widespread and incendiary oratory; governments operate only with the consent of the governed. Inaction, in this case, is effectively consent.
I've had to get up at absurd hours (0200 flights, 0400 boat trips an hour away, ops windows, etc.).

I've discovered a few tricks:

1) Never rely on the alarm clock if I'm going to bed less than an hour or two before wake-up time (it's easy to sleep through). I'm probably going to make a much more substantial alarm clock and "here's what happened while you were asleep" briefing system using a TV, computer controlled room lights, etc. Other good alarm clocks: a cat which is trained to expect food whenever you wake up, or a girlfriend (or boyfriend, whatever is desired) who is a morning person.

2) Make sure the "wake up, become functional" process is inherently streamlined; get clothes, bags, etc. all ready the night before.

3) Remove any willpower from the "wake up, begin getting ready" process; once you make it a decision, vs. automatic, it becomes easy to just hit snooze over and over, and makes the actual waking up process itself more stressful. I usually feel great 1-2 minutes after I wake up, and almost always feel great once I'm fully awake, in the shower, etc., but the first 5-10 seconds is not as good -- and that can drag out to hours if you stay in bed trying to decide if you should wake up or sleep longer.
At this stage I really don't see Nokia going down the Android path, given their commitment to Windows Phone 7.

> The BLM protests were in response to a real, meaningful threat

actually, your two examples are very alike in the "things that did not happen" category. the murder of George floyd was negligent at best and malicious at worst, but racist cops killing blacks is simply not a large issue, and certainly not a "meaningful threat" to all black people.

I didn't know about Mailchimp's RSS-to-email, that's pretty cool! I've worked with RSS before; I think it would be pretty straightforward to add.

For custom URLs are you thinking like a custom domain or just the path?

Thank you for the feedback! I really appreciate it :)
Clojure and Elixir are probably my two favorite languages. Which one I like better probably depends upon the day of the week.

I guess what I like most about Elixir is the BEAM vm though. I would really love clojerl to take off. But it's basically a niche of a niche.

But I'm also primarily a Java developer. So the JVM has never bothered me.
How does this differ from something like silly putty which is classified as a non newtonian fluid?
I was pleasantly surprised by the list of "fundamentals". Here I was, expecting something rather specific about the discipline. And I'm so happy whatever I was expecting wasn't what was there. The qualities described do seem like true "fundamentals". It's a human effort after all.

So let's examine our axioms:

I'd, in some ways, expect Dr. Hanna to ascribe to the axiom that predictive policing is unethical. As such, applied research into "improving" predictive policing would also sit squarely in the unethical space.

And I expect that's all you're going to get at an ML conference (outside of explicitly ethics/critique papers): "Our model predicts crime 4.2% better than competing models"

However, I'm not convinced that research into the meta-question "Can predictive policing be done ethically" would be considered equally unethical. ML is only a very small part of that meta question though. You're looking at much more complex socio-political changes that don't belong at NeurIPS ("do we need to change policing so that predictive policing can be done ethically").

> ethics saying they can't study minimum wages or tax increases

In general, we have far more oversight into the elected officials who manage tax and minimum wage policy than police forces. These structural differences in influence and oversight play into the need for self-regulation.

> Relevant expertise matters.

There's nothing that prevents a think tank from working with domain experts (in fact, iiuc this is often what happens: a think tank will contract out to domain experts to write a report on some subject). Now there's all kinds of other conflict of interest issues with think tanks, but we all know that already.
