I was sceptical but saw the phrase “peer reviewed” and “journal”. Should I un-allay my suspicions?
I think we have something similar in France but I'm not sure. I remember that the one time I actually needed to send letters which I have pre-stamped, was when I was sending applications to universities. Fun thing happened though, as the postage has increased _the day after_ I've bought and stamped my envelopes. So then when coming to post office I needed to buy something like three 2cent stamps.

How does Apple building its own service smell like "data mining"? You can build your own service and not be a data miner.
Is this for JS development? Or a compiled language. Id like to use remote but not sure how easy it is so this is encouraging.
Cutesy domain names using country TLDs really need to stop - if anything "notion.so" should redirect to dot com.
I find async/await to be easier to use than alternatives. I see two categories:

- A. Async/await - compiler saves and resumes functions.

- B. Message based - Golang, Erlang, threads with messaging.

With category A, I can use my IDE to jump to every function that is called and easily follow the computation.

With category B, all of these connections happen at runtime with messages.

When you have a tree of tasks all which may save/resume many times, async/await it easier to understand than launching a thread per IO event.
regarding "tits or gtfo": the interesting thing is that she may have already done that, and you just don't know. There's quite a bit of anonymous flashing pics both there and on the Internet in general.

I liked the quote on the lower left-hand side of her post the best. Since still relevant to web culture, reprinting here:

"Facebook is so endlessly social and inclusive it sometimes reminds me of one of those mega-nightclubs from the late ’80s (Palladium, the Limelight, etc.), only without the music, the alcohol, the drugs, the lights, the sweat, or — it must be said — the people."

That's exactly what I meant ;)

Seems obvious to build this as a web app, right? I wonder why the original software creators didn't do this - or why the teachers didn't base their lesson plans on online resources.
At the least, they should make an API available so that 3rd party desktop apps can be made.
Thank you for posting this. NYT didn't allow comments on this article, so I'm happy I can do so here.

Nick Wade's articles have long read as though he has an axe to grind against the Human Genome Project and its progeny (HapMap and GWAS in general). First, 10 years is an awfully short time to go from the development of a scientific tool (the human genome map) to real-world medical treatments. I emphasize tool because the genome, per se, is not really a discovery; it is a framework that helps you make discoveries.

Then there is his failure to understand genetics, or refusal to do so. Take the following sentence: "If each common disease is caused by a host of rare genetic variants, it may not be susceptible to drugs."

Let's examine that assertion by way of example: hypercholesterolemia, a common disease. Its rare familial forms -- and its common forms -- are caused by dozens of different, often rare, mutations in APOB and other genes like PCSK9. If Nick Wade's assertion is true, then hypercholesterolemia would probably be insusceptible to drugs, since presumably we would need dozens of different drugs to target each specific mutation.

Except he's totally wrong. We just put them all on statins, regardless of the causal mutation. And they work like a charm -- demonstrably reducing all-cause mortality.

So the current evidence gives lie to his claims. And this is just scratching at the surface. Nick Wade's article have long made it clear that he believes that rare variants are the only important ones. Nevermind the fact that we know where to look for rare variants thanks to the presence of common ones. And common variants actually can have large effect sizes (PCSK9, anybody?). Etc.
OP is learning from Cialdini. But he should really be learning from Mystery, and other pick up artists who have been field testing principles from Evolutionary Psychology for over a decade.
There is a short bio for Terry Barr at http://www.samsonoilandgas.com/IRM/content/aboutus_boardandm... he seems to have considerable experience in oil and gas. He only uses the name British Petroleum once and refers to it as BP thereafter, seven times in total in the letter.

Mr Barr was appointed Managing Directors of the Company on 25 January 2005.
Mr Barr is a petroleum geologist with over 30 year's experience, including
11 years with Santos. In recent years, Mr Barr has specialised in tight
gas exploration, drilling and completion and is considered an expert
in this field. Prior to joining Samson, Mr Barr was employed as Managing
Director by Ausam Resources from 1999 to 2003 and as was the owner of Barco
Exploration from 2003 to 2005.

To me the questions the interviewers planned up front seem reasonably solid - what's missing is anything after Obama's responses. The interviewers don't ask follow-up questions, ask about things the answer omitted, or challenge anything that was in the answer - they just move on to the next question.

Of course it would be a mistake for us to fetishize combative interviews or to say the interviewer must always disagree with the politician regardless of what they say. But if this type of interview is the future of journalism, the interviewers need to get better at asking probing questions on the fly, not just scripted questions they've had months to come up with.

Pretty much. I was a Rhapsody users, too, and I loved it. It was, like, 90% of magic. But Spotify is 100% of magic. And it's that last 10% of magic that matters. With Rhapsody, there were a lot of things that broke the illusion and made you think about the underlying model of how to download songs, how to get them on your device, how to renew your licenses. Spotify doesn't make you think about anything, it just lets you listen to music, as much as you want to, and a pretty clever facsimile of whatever you want to.
Easy, you spec out doing it "conventionally" and pad with a reasonable first guess to do something unconventional.

Oh we need that in 2 weeks? And its about one weeks work the old fashioned way? Well try something else fun for a bit less than a week. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose.

Sometimes you can do both in parallel. In the real world there's always wall clock time delays imposed by whatever. So when you're stuck waiting for whatever, learn as much as you can about XYZ till the main line is unblocked.
The most important change is that HTTP 1.0 assumed that each IP had a unique hostname. The HTTP request just got sent to the IP that resulted from the DNS lookup with no indication of what hostname was fed to DNS.

HTTP 1.1 (1999, so way postdating Netscape 1.0) has a Host header that's sent with every request, which allows the client to communicate to the server which hostname the client thinks it's talking to. That allows today's world, with multiple hostnames colocated on the same IP, to work properly. But if you leave out the Host header the server doesn't know which of those sites you meant and will do ... something.

For example, this explains the defcon.org failure in their screenshots. In fact, you can try this at home in your favorite command-line:

1) Type

telnet www.defcon.org 80

You get output like:

Trying 162.222.171.206...
Connected to www.defcon.org.
Escape character is '^]'.

2) Type:

GET / HTTP/1.0

and hit enter twice. See what it responds with.

3) Repeat, but in step 2 type (or paste, since it closes the connection quickly):

GET / HTTP/1.1
Host: www.defcon.org

followed by two newlines. Observe the difference.

Same thing for www.whitehouse.gov (which is in fact a cname for www.whitehouse.gov.edgesuite.net which is a cname for www.eop-edge-lb.akadns.net which is a cname for a1128.dsch.akamai.net which you can bet needs the Host header to know which site you were accessing!).

And same thing for news.ycombinator.com, which is a cname for news.ycombinator.com.cdn.cloudflare.net which then resolves to an IP but doing a reverse DNS lookup on that IP says it's got at least "ns1.cloudflare.com" and "dns.cloudflare.com" as domain names that resolve to it... so it's clearly going to be looking at the Host header to see what you actually think you're talking to. You can even see this if you compare http://news.ycombinator.com.cdn.cloudflare.net/ to https://news.ycombinator.com/ even though one is a cname for the other.
That is a beautiful piece of work.

But I'm afraid the description lost me at:

"Since glass covers the complete artwork, there was no way adjust the time using buttons which was simply solved by hovering an elegant handcrafted piece of magnet over specific locations over the glass frame. Electro- magnetic micro switches inside the frame responds to the magnet and adjust the time. The "Time adjusting magnet" has a chrome handle tip and its magnet side is covered with velvet."

"elegant handcrafted piece of magnet"?

I'm not claiming the story is fake, or that none of what was reported actually transpired. But rather, I sense that the reporters are ideologically motivated and what they have presented here is not "the whole truth", to haphazardly borrow a term.

One of the reasons why I say this is because there absolutely was a coordinated effort to stymie the construction of the border wall and one of the proposed tactics was to use the EPA and threatened species as a foil to prevent it's construction. Cards Against Humanity employed a similar strategy: "It was revealed that the creators had purchased vacant land along the wall and "retained a law firm specializing in eminent domain to make it as time-consuming and expensive as possible for the wall to get built." So in that sense, this isn't some unique stochastic attack on the noble butterfly center. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cards_Against_Humanity)

But going back to my sense that something isn't quite right, the laundry list of associations is what stood out: Bringing up QAnon, bringing up Pizzagate, bringing up Steve Bannon, and bringing up anti-maskers. If I was a propagandist, I would end up writing a story just like this. Especially because you can report that wonderful institutions like National Butterfly Center and The Children’s Museum of Denver are victims of all of the above groups. Again, not to dismiss the story entirely, but it seems to hit all the right notes.
Some of it I think is an overemphasis on credentials. I think this is a problem in many domains of society, but credentials are vastly inflated in importance. The result of this is that uncertainty is underacknowledged and valid uncredentialed perspectives are under weighted.

Information access might be related in that credentials probably mean less in reality if the information is more widely distributed.

Scribes were more critical in ancient societies where literacy wasn't common.
This seems like it would be relatively easy to abuse. Throw a bunch of pirate links on your competitor's comment page over a holiday weekend, or something, and suddenly they don't show up in searches anymore.

83 points and dozens of comments is well over the threshold for considering a repost a dupe (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html), whether or not it was flagged, and generally speaking that threshold should be tightened if an article was flagged, not loosened. Otherwise flagging doesn't mean very much.

I made the call to take the flags off this one and merge the comments from the previous thread in here, because the discussion has been managing to stay (barely) on the ok side, and the article seems to me to be about an interesting new phenomenon (a la https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html).
You said Esc-0, first.
Possibly it's just that their writers are of different quality?
A lot of php(most?) is done as a backend for webpages. The php to django book title makes sense in the common usage.
I understand what PER CAPITA means and I was stating explicitly that the claims being made were, on a PER CAPITA basis, erroneous.

A plot of land can only be home to several thousand people if you are willing to pay a lot of money to build it in that fashion. Building up is not a cost saving measure, it is a demand placed upon a plot of land as a consequence of population density. Building suburban homes for several thousand people will occupy more land than a dense urban apartment tower, but it will be an order of magnitude cheaper to build in the first place.
Do you know where I can find a list of hotkeys along the lines of C-a? I personally created my own hotkey (shift left arrow) but learning standard ones would probably be good.
On a related note, when you want to insert something at the start of a line in a shell, rather than hitting home, I find ctrl-a to be very useful. Especially on a macbook, where cmd-left doesn't work in a shell (for some reason) and there is no home key.

This often works in unexpected places. For example: testing it right now, I can click the address bar on google chrome, hit ctrl-a (not cmd-a) and the caret is at the start of the url.
You write:

"Many low density towns get away without a sewer system, houses can use a septic system instead."

A septic system still uses resources. In fact, per capita, a septic system is one of the most wasteful kinds of systems for handling sewage. Think of the land that a septic system needs.
What sorts of products are tagged with this? I'm imagining that if I'm buying a soda, I'm not running the risk of being smeared with red ink.
> Without such a system, inventors would keep their work secret under "Trade Secret" protection or just not bother at all. I think abolishing the patent system would slow technological progress.

Patents are not a black and white problem (either with or without).

What I think is the really core problem is that the length of patents must be inversely proportional to the innovation pace of the field they apply - which is the opposite of the current legislation.

Patents may be OK "in general", but it's not OK to have a 20 years exclusive in a field where such amount of time represents many generations of products, otherwise it simply is a legalized racket.
I'd say very high since technically Android is an OS for smartPHONEs. Note the word "phone."
This is a good point and was actually the argument that pushed me over the edge to actually doing it. The issue remains however that, even if our legal fees are paid for, the time and effort that goes into the defense is a HUGE distraction for an early stage company and enough to give the big company time to grab market share.
Sorry, you are right, I do have a bit of a South East bias.

> he could be broke in ~10 years

He could be broke in 10 minutes, if he turned all his money into $100 bills and burned them, or invested it all in some company that immediately went bankrupt.

But obviously he wouldn't do those things, because they would be stupid. And if he doesn't do stupid things, how is he going to be broke even in 10 years? If his current net wealth is $1B then he'd need to spend $100M every year even assuming zero investment gains. Again, it's not like spending $100M in a year is difficult if you are actively trying to go from being rich to being poor, but it's not the sort of thing that happens by accident.
"And nature is usually a very efficient designer."

In what sense? For most senses of the word efficient, I think I'd disagree with that.

If you want the scholarly version, skip the blog post and click through to the original paper (which was discussed on HN previously but I can't find the thread).

Page 26 of the paper does cite a study showing that libertarians have higher SAT scores, but that's probably not the only reason Caplan blogged it.
OK, here's an example of how chargebacks have worked in my favor.

I order a PC. Vendor happily takes my info and CC number. Few days later, no shipment information. Call vendor. They say it will be there in a week. A week later, no PC, call vendor. They say they have no idea when it will ship. I say cancel. They say, OK, but we have to charge you 15% restocking fee. I say "you're nuts. You haven't shipped anything, how can you charge a restocking fee for stock you never had? Cancel my fucking order." They say OK. I buy PC from other supplier and it arrives in a few days. A few days after that, I get a PC from the original vendor and find that they charged my card after all. I call Citibank, tell them the story, Citibank immediately reverses the transaction and tells me to send it back at vendor's expense and send them a copy of the shipping paperwork.

That's why you need chargebacks: for fuckwad vendors out to rip you off.
Do you have a link to the Korean translation? I've been studying Korean for the past year and would be curious to nibble on a text like this a little.
Well if people can't prove that Covid came from China, shouldn't they simply forget it and accept that it came from somewhere else? "What can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence." And how dare them for even asking to see the data, those conspiracy theorists.

...Or has this logic changed since the election fraud controversy? (and no, it's not really a different situation if you think about it)
I was also experiencing something like this. I would open lots of tabs, and at some point the machine would freeze and I would need to do a hard reboot. This got worse after installing Yosemite, where I could rarely go a day without having to reboot my system.

I was about to take my laptop in to see if it was a hardware issue when a coworker pointed me to a forum where someone suggested turning off automatic graphics switching. I did that about two weeks ago, and since then I haven't had a single occurrence of the issue. You may want to try the same thing to see if it helps.

Tinfoil Chat[1] is a semi-practical application of the one-time pad encryption.

The paper mentions the inconvenience of sending the keys:

>Another common argument is that unlike symmetric PSKs, OTP keys also eventually run
out and users need to exchange another keyfile. The messages of TFC only consume 420 bytes of key material. The drop in the price of storage space has made the issue negligible: A $10 microSD card can store 4GB of keyfiles to encrypt more than 9 million messages, which is in most cases enough for several years or decades.

Are there a lot of people claiming the election was near perfect?

I see people saying there isn’t evidence of wide-spread fraud sufficient to overturn the results of the election.

There do seem to be a lot of people making the mistake of trying to cast this as black and white, totally fraudulent or totally perfect. But that never made sense.

(Edit: typo)

Not to disagree with your overall point, but 2mm is a long way when dealing with high frequency signals. You can't just eyeball this and infer that it makes no difference to performance or power consumption.
The title and lede state they are "Russian-Owned" and a Czech company. Perhaps NYT edited title after publishing or original poster misread the title.

Russian-Owned Software Company May Be Entry Point for Huge U.S. Hacking

Russian hackers may have piggybacked on a tool developed by JetBrains, which is based in the Czech Republic, to gain access to federal government and private sector systems in the United States.
And it hasn't exactly been subtle either. That this isn't apparent to anyone that has been conscious for the past year+ makes you wonder if you're going crazy, doesn't it?
I'll posit an additional factor: people who are disenfranchised and desperate are more likely to believe conspiracy theories and act on them. Andrew Yang talked about this a lot during + after his campaign, and also this paper:
