This seems like it could be inconvenient for web applications that use <input type=password> in a non-login context. Imagine that you've got a web interface that can be used to configure usernames and passwords for something completely separate (say, for email accounts). Trying to autofill that form with credentials from the management interface, or saving usernames/passwords entered into that form, would be unexpected and undesirable.

>>What's to stop most bad behavior... the law

No... what stops most bad behavior is _consequences_. The law applies to everyone, but the consequences for breaking them don't.

We will see what(if any) consequences are placed upon MtGox. Personally, I still can't see how MtGox will be found liable of anything. Bitcoins aren't protected under any law and nobody said it was okay to trade your hard-earned government-backed fiat for some magical interwebz money. It might as well be fairy wings & unicorn tails. Don't get me wrong, I'm into crypto-coins and willing to lose up to 7k on them... but I fully understand that my coins could disappear in the next 5 mins due to any number of reasons and I have absolutely nobody to blame but myself.
1) Peak Oil

2) Our so called "health care" system is extremely fubarred.

There's probably more, but those strike me as the big two.

Edit: To elaborate a bit on point 1, Peak Oil is not the end of oil. It is the end of cheap oil. The current U.S. economy and (expected) lifestyle was developed in the era of cheap oil. That era is ending, which is likely part of what is fueling the depression. Our current infrastructure, habits, etc are simply not sustainable with the cost of oil going up and not coming back down. (At this point, if we discovered that Antarctica or the moon were essentially 99% oil with a thin top layer of dust/snow/whatever, that would not solve this because endless expensive oil does not solve the problem here.)
Most people in Syria use VPN anyway because most of the tech tools are blocked, that includes everything hosted on GCP (including GitLab), Android docs, Bitbucket, SEO tools, not to mention cloud providers, just to name a few.

Actually the next day after GitHub ban, I rolled out a GitLab instance on my server and opened it for free access and published it in Syrian devs groups, but it barely had a dozen active users after 6 months, and all from one company not individual contributors, so I had to turn it off.

What I can say from my experience and how we as Syrians look at open source contributions is that we see it as our ticket to get a better chance in leaving Syria to a good job that allows us to start a new life. It's not something we do as a hobby or for fun in our spare time, because we don't really have spare time.

Btw, it's quite common to have Syrians working on projects for US and Europe and avoid sanctions by VPN and registering their business in Dubai. I know a Syrian company that is a GitHub and AWS partner.
This is a good evidence for what I refer to as the rise of redditism on HN (US-biased views pretty much detached from reality, but constituting the majority of up/down-votes).
This is further supported by the dynamics of up/down votes. You will see GP comment up-voted when the US wakes up.
I suppose what is good and what is bad is very much relative to your viewpoint. From a human vantage point we have a vested interest and a genetic imperative of reproduction and self-preservation.

I would guess-estimate that, if given the choice and the cognition, bats would likely also choose to self-preservate to the detriment of Humans.

I used this "trick" in many contexts in grad school. Later on, I learned that my bible, Gradsteyn and Rhyzik, also used similar techniques for some of the integrals. I don't have the reference for this, it was verbally conveyed by a professor to me.

I used this in my thesis, in comparing an analytical solution to a problem to a numerical solution, in order to determine some parameters of the numerical solution for idealized wavefunctions. My simulations needed non-idealized wavefunctions, and this mechanism enabled me to optimize parameters for this, and set approximate error bounds.

It (math) really is a science, but there is a strong aspect of artistry involved.
Biomedical engineer with a 2.977GPA. Lots of extra curriculars, volunteered in labs, 160 credit hours of mostly STEM classes, lots of grad-level courses, relevant work experience, but GPA was 0.023 too low to pass the automated filters and I didn't get into any of the grad programs I applied for.

I ended up doing fine in software development though. Also, the Wright Brothers didn't need a research lab to invent flight. Biology-focused hacker spaces are on the rise so there are still ways to do research.
> Where was this video a couple of days ago?

Usually when there's an error or a failure on a mission, there will be an immediate lockdown of all PR, videos etc to analyze the problems first and understand what happened before the official release of material. This might seem trivial but I'll type it anyway.

First off, if SpaceX released videos and didn't know what happened, the press would obviously speculate and SpaceX's brand would lose value somewhat. If the videos were released and the problem is a little harder to solve, well now you have a video of your error circulating and you don't even know what to tell the press what happened.

If you watch the Mission Control footage during Columbia's fatal reentry, when Houston realized the worst had happened, Flight Director Cain said over the intercom "G.C., FLIGHT, Lock the doors". This was meant figuratively and literally; He told Ground Control to lock the doors of Mission Control so no one could leave, and that all information regarding the incident would not leave that room. Not even the President could enter that room after Ground Control locked the doors.

While technically speaking yes, eventually the firmware flash will fail, I'm not sure bad UEFI variables will actually prevent the system from booting, since the rest of firmware should be fine. I've gotten systems to boot with totally borked UEFI flash space.

It is being nitpicky on my part, but I think we're reaching the point where these machines could be expected to last long enough for SSD weardown to become a real issue, even with current flash tech. While this has theoretically been a problem for the past 5 years now, it's a bit disappointing to learn that now you can't use an external drive in the event of the (irreplaceable) internal drive failing.
What makes you think that? Nonbinary people are just like anyone else with the same range of interests, likes, dislikes, politics, worldview, etc.

> How is XML a garbage fire?

If you decided to go fully XML on "<path d="M 10 10 H 90 V 90 H 10 L 10 10"/>" it would probably look like this:

<path>
<point>
<x>10</x>
<y>10</y>
</point>
<point>
<x>90</x>
<y>10</y>
</point>
<point>
<x>90</x>
<y>90</y>
</point>
<point>
<x>10</x>
<y>90</y>
</point>
<point>
<x>10</x>
<y>10</y>
</point>
</path>

Some would say the fact the designers of XML went for "M 10 10 H 90 V 90 H 10 L 10 10" instead shows they thought XML is too verbose.

simias likely agrees that XML is too verbose - and wonders why they used XML at all
Cool, maybe the US should also add some protections against German exports.
That's a better way to put it, IMO.

> The problem is that Google is removing services

> The solution is to use an Open Source browser

Seems to me the solution is to use 3rd party services that are not tied to the browser at all.

For example I manage passwords with 1Password, not Chrome's or any other browser's sync services. And I use bookmarking services like Pocket which aren't tied to any browser.

Using independent services made by companies that care about their reputation (and therefore the quality of their product) makes a lot more sense to me then putting all your eggs into a single browser basket.
You must have missed the part about how the steel is stainless. And also welding is extremely labor intensive, and time consuming. The flat body panels actually make this harder, because you can't warp the panels or else it will be extremely obvious. And if there's no paint, there's no filling in dents with body filler, it requires absolute precision, and metalworking skills which haven't been around for years in the auto body collision industry. I can't tell if it actually has paint or not, but you should look up how a small dent is fixed in a Delorean.
That specific tidbit isn't the point. It's people trained to think about algorithmic complexity, having had some minimal experience with factors which can increase it.

If that's the case, why aren't FI's going after Plaid for impersonating their branding/login screens? When you go to link an account in-app, for instance, there is no indication that you're using Plaid; you're presented with a login screen that matches your FI's color scheme + branding. In fact, it's even more on-brand than the FI's own login screens, sometimes!

In addition to what onychomys stated, there's also the matter of locality. If you were to assume they would be equally likely to exploit you, your ISP is more capable of doing so because it's local. For example, the VPN provider can sell your data to spammers that get filtered, but you ISP can shove spam in your physical mailbox.

There's more to disruption than mere hardware. Apple's tight control of the OS severely limits functionality and prevents it from being the truck. Apple is not known for giving up control.

On one end, they're hearing complaints about their terrible network, and on the other end, they're facing large costs to improve their infrastructure to support people with unlimited accounts

You should, of course, rescue the chicken if it can’t swim. That’s not as wasteful and you can test different methods of getting the chicken into water.

Out of curiosity, where do you send the emails from? (Are the IP addresses from AWS/some other large provider? Or something else?) I've heard that the IP address block has something to do with getting marked as spam.

I've checked everything on that list and it's all good, and I'm sending from IPv4. The really frustrating thing is that Google's own Postmaster Tools [0] doesn't want to tell me anything without "a sizable daily volume of email traffic (up to the order of hundreds)".

If it doesn't have to do with the origin IP's neighborhood, my only other guess is that I don't have enough email volume, which seems like a catch-22...

It’s not centralized. It’s not distributed, like Bitcoin, but there is no central party baked into the protocol. Everyone’s free to become an issuer.

It’s like email or git: requires a central server to work, but is a decentralized system because everyone can set up their own git/email server.
This is covered by search theory in economics. (economists do not use "supply and demand" for jobs, rather they consider things like search time and monopsony power.)
> what a publisher is, is an institution that sells reputation and attention

If that is all publishers are now, then they are no longer what they once promised to be. Initially many respected journals were published by non-profit learned societies. (In some fields, like certain branches of linguistics, they still are.) For-profit publishers originally told those learned societies that if they handed their journals over to the corporation, the corporation could perform more high-quality editing, proofreading, and typesetting and do it more economically.

Fast forward a few decades, and the for-profit corporations are no longer providing those things. Proofreading and copyediting is now all on the unpaid editorial team (or even on the individual authors). Typesetting is often on the unpaid editorial team, and the publisher wants the unpaid editorial team to simply provide a camera-ready PDF.

So, yes, in the end the for-profit publisher is just providing printing and distribution (which even the non-profit learned societies managed to do just fine) and a vague “reputation and attention”. Sounds like a raw deal.
Same here, I use both but prefer Linode in every aspect. Much better support and reliability in particular.

I moved a few very low-end hosts to DO when the $5 price point appeared but have never been overly impressed. Later Linode matched prices so no real reason to look into DO anymore.

But I do still use both. Partly to avoid migrating the DO hosts I have but more because I just like to keep aware of how both are evolving.
> Realtime mass surveillance of every party who receives money is isomorphic to realtime mass surveillance of everyone.

I don't believe it is.

For instance, imagine a closed system of three people: Alice, Bob, and Carol. Initially we start off with seeding both Alice and Bob $100 via Taler. We can see that because it is public. Then, we see that Carol receives $5. That is also public. Who gave Carol the $5?

If surveillance of money received is isometric to full surveillance, you should be able to answer this question, but clearly there is insufficient information, so clearly they are not isometric. There may be special cases where sufficiently large transactions can only have come from a small pool of wealthy transactors, but I bet this would be essentially meaningless in practice, and is absolutely not the same as equating the system to full surveillance of every participant.
I was skeptical before, but now i open to this idea

The article doesn't give any specific situations for doing this (apart from the example of an uncommon error case). You could indeed be doing this specifically from the result of looking at the profiler and then reading the assembly code output of a hotspot.
Neither Erlang nor OCaml bring with themselves the burdens of purely functional programming and the sophisticated type systems that you talk about. You also mentioned Scala and that one too is extremely pragmatic and lets you mix and match both OOP and functional concepts instead of sticking to purely one paradigm. Erlang is dynamically typed and OCaml does not mark side-effects with types and force you into the monadic context for all such side-effecting computations.

Purely functional programming still remains a purely academic exercise because it fetishizes type systems to the detriment of all other concerns in software engineering. Although I do enjoy some of the things that come out of that kind of work, e.g. parser combinators.
What I have noticed recently in UK TV adverts is that £xxx off special offer and then put an on-screen rider "discount on 'after offer' price".

So they pitch it like a sale but really they will just offer whatever is left of their product at a higher price for a while in some store or maybe just online.
Why would the address on the contract matter? If the contract lists 'ABC' as their address, you still need to serve papers to their registered office which may have always been XYZ, or may have changed after the contract was signed - so in any case you have to ignore the address on the form and use the official one that you look up from the registry.

The only case where I've seen address used as a disambiguator is when treating multiple private individuals with the same name, but in that case also you want some official ID, not the address which may change frequently (and may contain a different John Smith than the one who lived there a year ago).
Ah, the dead lift. The single most effective exercise ever invented. I don't remember where I read it, but the quote goes like this:

"A kid walked up to me in the gym while I was dead lifting and asked 'what muscle does that work.' I responded by asking the kid 'have you ever watched a football player run across the field and tackle the player with the ball?' The kid responded 'sure.' To that I said 'that muscle.'"
That's exactly what I was going to say. It could be that high caffeine users are biologically predisposed to need frequent doses of a stimulant to maintain a level of alertness that is merely normal for the general population, like some kind of ADHD spectrum disorder.

But that's probably just the drug talking.
