2 things:

1. Grades need to be eliminated, but not evaluations. This teacher sounds misguided to me. The teacher needs to foster an environment that will generate curiosity and interest. The teacher needs to respect the students and their views through meeting regularly with them, listening to their ideas, goals, and dreams, and discuss it with them and provide feedback. Lastly the teacher needs to provide verbal and written evaluations on how each student is doing in their own journey in learning about anthropology.

Expecting students who know nothing about anthropology to all of a sudden be interested and fascinated by it and care by listening to a guy talk to them for an hour a few times a week is ridiculous.

2. An anthropology lecture should not exist at a level where most students don't care about anthropology. (Lecture courses for the most part shouldn't exist for general courses but that's a separate issue).
It makes a good story if you can spin this as a case of EPA ignoring its own scientists as evidenced by a leaked report. But what the report (a public document according to Theobald) actually recommends is not that the pesticide be denied registration, but that it should only be sold with a warning.

"EFED [Environmental Fate and Effects Division of the EPA]expects adverse effects to bees if clothianidin is allowed to drift from seed planting equipment. Because of this and the uncertainty surrounding the exposure and potential toxicity through contaminated pollen and nectar, EFED is recommending bee precautionary labeling."

Grist, Fast Company, and Wired have all gone with the "Leak Reveals EPA ignoring its own Scientists" story. But that story is nonsense and distracts from the real problem; namely, the fact that the so-called leak actually only recommends precautionary labeling. What really needs to be leaked is the memo that explains why EFED's recommendations are so weak in a case where high toxicity is known to occur.
Pretty sure I'm not in court :)
The use of Go (and GCed languages in general) in a kernel is quite interesting. I wonder what the performance impact is.
When your no longer searching for a business model and your done with the customer discovery and validation process.
I think he means that many global variables create a big context. Which as you point out, it is not the same as context sensitive.
YES! Though why teach only the young? ;)
> The Dutch brought their “leeuwendaler” (lit. lion daler) coin to New Netherlands (now New York), lending its name to the US Dollar.

I had to say "daler" a couple times fast before the penny dropped (no pun intended). That's so cool.
We may be interested in the deep details/debates the general public has no knowledge about. However i can assure you many people care about their privacy. They're not all ignorant, but they're usually powerless.

Wanna keep in touch with friends? Gotta use facebook. Wanna watch cool videos? Gotta use Youtube. etc.

But there's a very strong movement of non-tech persons for privacy, decentralization and free software/culture. In France, it's best exemplified by the Framasoft association which started from a network of teachers : https://framasoft.org/en/
You can own your data if you use client-side encryption with cloud. When encrypted, you don't have to trust the cloud provider. This opens up new possibilities such as P2P networks with fair pricing, no provider lock-in, equal access and censorship resistance. I'm excited about Sia / Skynet which enables these kind of apps.
The UDM line is about a year old and many features are in the "to-be-implemented" bin. This is a vague statement and I don't have specific examples on hand. I just recall seeing references to them when hunting around. I don't have firsthand experience.

The UDM can't be adopted by another controller: it needs to be the unifi controller. This really kills the upgrade path imo.

One of my best metrics for deciding what hardware to get is to look through the 1-star reviews for realistic testimonials by reasonable users. It takes a lot of sifting, but it builds an okay picture. There are almost no complaints about the ER-4 compared to the UDM. I think I'd likely roll a pfSense box before jumping into unifi.

> If you set up in a coffee shop for a day there's a pretty reasonable chance you'd find at least one or two people that had just bought a new device

Sure, but it's easy to protect against this - just connect to the same service via a different endpoint and check that both endpoints get the same certificate. AIUI this is how the EFF SSL observatory detects MITM attacks in the wild, and similar approaches could be used to make TOFU-to-a-popular-service a lot more resilient, at least wrt. most attacks.
Note that EdgeRouter is not a product in their UniFi line, the most commonly praised.
It's cool but the MNT reform goes out of its way to be way more open.

These exist because Internet email was never properly designed in the first place(!) -- initially, a long time ago, there was no way to know if a recipient opened your Internet (SMTP/POP3) email (compare this to a Bloomberg terminal or Microsoft Outlook, where emails to other users of the same email system would return a return receipt automatically in the case of Bloomberg, and if requested by the sender, in the case of Outlook...)

But the tracking pixels, aka, "spy pixels" -- are there to get around this earlier limitation...

The way it works: A link to an image, an image hosted somewhere else on the Internet, is placed in an email. Well, now the email system needs to display that image, so when the message is opened, the URL for the image is opened, and if that's a unique URL -- then it can be tied to a specific piece of email -- in effect letting the party on the other end know that you opened the email, when your email client went out to the Internet to fetch the graphics for the image...

Is that good or bad?

Well, it depends on one's point of view...

Certainly it's bad for privacy... but what about transactions in business where one party needs to know that the other party received something important?

You could compare this to asking UPS or the Post Office to put package tracking on a package, which is a very beneficial service to businesses, because it lets them know that a package they have sent is now in the customer's hands, and their responsibility (at least as far as shipping and getting it into their customer hands) is now over...

Certainly you would want to know if an intended recipient actually received Bitcoin, or other digital currency you sent, as part of an online transaction you were involved in...

Also, by reciprocity, if you wanted that, then by reciprocity you should also be OK with other senders/counterparties in digital currency transactions with you -- being able to know with certainty if you had received the Bitcoin or other digital currency that they had sent...

It's almost the same thing...

People should not blame the Internet for inventing this "creative work around" for tracking -- for the Internet's earlier invention of email which didn't know if anyone received an email or not...

A well-designed future email system -- permits message tracking as an option -- but doesn't force it down users' throats without consent.

Also, a well-designed future email system -- would permit a high degree of granularity on what the end user wants to allow others to track and what they don't...

For example, they might set the system so that their friends and family (or other whitelist of names) could receive automatic confirmation when their messages are received, opened, etc. -- but this wouldn't happen for unknown/unsolicited senders...

But anyway, that's "why" of the "spy"...

...pixel, that is... <g>
Forget the patty. It's still a whopper. The default preparation comes with mayo.

I think people want it to be vegan. That doesn't make it so.
Some early Intel SSD's did the same thing, prior to M4's... haha
Pardoning was the wrong move, but are you honestly putting that upon the same level as over a million placed in concentration camps? The US is not perfect, but what, because of that they can't have legitimate points on human rights on what the CCP is doing?
And yet to a kid wanting a candy bar, it's measurably worse. In the 1980's you would occasionally find a quarter on the ground. Today you never find a dollar on the ground, or even quarters.
>When the affected Googlers discovered this, many reported that they felt scared or unsafe

Gee I wonder if there is any self-reflection that they work for a company whose primary purpose is to gather this information about everyone...yet when its their information in the hands of employees working for their own company they feel "scared or unsafe".
Fascinating idea and I look forward to seeing where it goes!
Ah, I follow. "Outside the company" could mean "cold storage."
In brazilian portuguese cock means "galo", it's the same animal so no surprise to me here.
I wonder. Do you sign any agreement that prohibits hidden city routing when you buy the ticket? If so, on an ethical level, it's not the same as the sandwich buying scenario, where you are not signing any additional agreement.

I wonder what I would do if I were the airline. Obviously the simplest thing would be to suspend the return ticket, but I suppose that the return ticket would typically be booked on a different airline. Another option would be to collaborate with other airlines to suspend return tickets, but I suppose that would be collusion and wouldn't fly with regulators. You could also try a prisoner's dilemma-y thing where future sales to a customer that has hidden city-routed in the past are marked up to fix the difference. If all airlines did this then only infrequent flyers would be able to hidden-city route. But if any airline refuses to participate, it might be tough for the business of the airlines that engaged in this practice.

Tough situation for the airlines. Not that I have too much sympathy, but I do take it into perspective that travelling is historically extremely cheap. It's a great time to be a flyer.
In German C# is pronounced "C Lattenzaun" or "C Schweinegatter", which is quite a mouthful.
> That is a complaint to the government. A private business has no control over subsidy policy. When you say you dont want to pay for those subsidies

I do want to pay for them though. I just want them to go to people who aren't working. People temporarily between jobs, people physically unable to work, etc. If someone is working they should be making enough to provide for themselves, anything less is a slave wage.

I do agree that people who are poor should be paying very little in taxes. However, most of the income taxes people making MW pay now are returned to them at the end of the year.
A good university is the best place in the world to meet other programmers. Go to the best school you can - once you're there, you'll be shocked how fast you improve when you're surrounded by other young hackers. The classes are a bonus - you won't be able to tell in advance which they are, but there will be a couple that will blow your mind wide open.

The hacker crowd is not necessarily obvious at first glance; even the best schools are full of "thirteenth graders" and disaffected professors. But rest assured it's there. (The local ACM chapter is often a good place to start looking.)

Applying doesn't cost much; don't be afraid to apply to MIT and Caltech. You might get in! The usual strategy is to apply to a couple "stretch schools," three or four you think you'll probably get into, and a "safety school." (Write the applications for your safety schools first - the essays get easier fast.)

Community college is a backup. Work towards selective schools for now - they have early application deadlines. Community college, on the other hand, you can wait until practically the day before school starts. They're always there if you need them. That's what they're for.

Finally, don't worry about money. That's what financial aid officers are for. If you get accepted, they'll figure out a way you can afford to attend.
Personally it never even occurred to me to read that far into chess, so i honestly doubt a child would do it either, to me its just a game and probably an educational one.
HTML is pretty much XML, should it be JSON?
> lose one, or it goes under, and you're in a world of pain because those handy "forgot password" links are tied to that.

That requires two failures: you forgot your username/password and you lost your email account. That's not the same as forgetting your OpenID or having the provider go down. If you've got username/password, then email is the alternative means of identification. One of the main points of OpenID is avoid giving alternative means of identification, such as an email address.
I love HN. I am learning Python right now but trudging through phonebooks of manuals isn't exactly the most fun I've ever had. This looks like a completely different approach and I never would have known about it if not for HN. Thanks to YC for this fantastic resource.

The right wing will gleefully call a complex planetarium projector an "overhead projector".

They don't care about being accurate, and accuracy isn't needed for their stories to stick. They've pretty much checked out of reality and into World of GOPcraft.
As a user, I HATE openid.

I use one unique username/password for each site I visit. My browser will maintain this for the sites I'd like it to, and sites where security is important, I type it in manually.

In my opinion, developers are being selfish. They want one of their coding problems to go away (authentication and all it entails), at the expense of their users.

With openid, I have to open two accounts. One on the site, and another separate openid account to provide authentication. Problems? Well, it could be one, or the other. Does the brower help me? NO. Does it make me feel more secure? NO.

I used to contribute to stackoverflow, and then after having to deal with openid all those times, I STOPPED USING THE SITE.
Ffmpeg's built-in filtering has gotten a lot more advanced since i last looked. Is it possible to use this as a full/near-full avisynth replacement?

Is it possible to compile avisynth code down to a filter_complex statement?

Is anyone using Vapoursynth?
> I'm imagining that if performance is relying on them always being on the stack

In which case can it make a performance difference if memory is on the stack or somewhere else in memory?
So that you can revisit the information even in the event that you loose internet access
I'm only half joking when I say this but I think you're neglecting to consider that the Venn diagram of investors/speculators bullish on Tesla and bullish on BTC is a single circle.
It's pretty annoying to strap on a motorcycle.
The advice against co-sleeping is a typical simplification of advice, where nuance is removed and all parents should receive the same, simple advice.

Peter Blair, based at the University of Bristol, has done some great work studying deaths caused by co-sleeping and found some very important factors, mainly the health of the child, any modifiers of the parent's sleep and the sleeping position. For example, drug use by the parents (including alcohol, cigarettes, over the counter & prescription medicine), making them sleep heavier. Also falling asleep on the sofa or a pillow near the child.

So much parenting advice is one-size-fits-none and it takes quite a bit of effort to work out the reality. Luckily, with a baby in arms there's often a lot of time available for reading the many opinions out there. ;)
Not anything against this. But I don't see the part that is ~300 lines of Javascript. All I see is two minified files (which look to add up to around 300kb's of JS). And a 80 loc file.

Which one should I be looking at?
When you're a billionaire, you can buy a $70M house and do all the things you're thinking of. There's no downside to buying this if you have that much money - more than you could reasonably spend in several lifetimes.
In context of the comment I was initially replying, regarding how Asians are considered a counter example, I think positive is the correct term.

My initial post was strictly to point out the original posters bias towards Asians.

So my point, in context of the original post, is that bias towards Asians give then a higher social standing. Which I do consider a positive when compared to other groups.

Your initial post seemed to be more in general, and I agree that all bias has some negativity to it.
Wikipedia lists [1] under 40K total casualties in Iraq for US armed forces as of 2012. If that is taken at face value, that is a 1.6% casualty rate over a remarkably long duration operation.

I have tried for two years to monetize my programming blog without making $100 in that entire time while I make a nice living from ads on my other sites.

I save RAW hard drives via a post I wrote 2 years ago. It's not really a programming post on my programming blog but like forums, you have little control over the demographic that ends up flocking to your blog. Especially if it is eclectic like mine.

There are thousands of visitors daily to the post and I get emails and try to answer comments everyday.

Ads, affiliate links, Amazon, eBay, Adsense, BSA, direct ads, CPA, CPM, nothing works on my programming blog with thousands of visitors each day. Extensive a/b testing is inconclusive due to lack of actions.

So now I only have a bitcoin address in that particular post and hope one day to get something from that :)

Ads do not work for all niches on the internet. Unless, of course, you want to deceive your users and trick them into clicking on something that is not what they think it is. That always works, for awhile at least.

In the meantime, I'll keep helping the people who end up there for free as best I can because in the end, that is in line with what I have hoped the internet would be.
I really hope this isn't going to devolve into an argument between top-down and bottom-up methods
Following the submitter's comments on another thread, apparently they're going to offer a self-hosted option "soon". We'll see.
Looks like they use Ka band [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O3b_%28satellite%29 ]. Wonder what were the factors of not choosing the Ku band. As far as I know Ku band is more cost effective and less susceptible to rain fade and such.
There is an interesting side discussion as to transparency of ad exchanges.

I run a site with significant traffic that is supported by ads served by an ad exchange. I can track the number of views and the number of clicks and thereby audit the exchange's numbers.

What I can't do, is ever know if I'm getting a fair share of the underlying ad revenue since there is no published formula to translate hits/clicks/CPM to dollars.

What is your experience with this and how have you come to trust or distrust your ad exchanges?
Object permanence for children is interesting but not the best example. Far more interesting is the fact that children fundamentally don't understand geography at a young age because they can't see it and have to imagine it, and geography breaks something down into types (city, village, country etc.) and there's a hierarchy. Understanding geography is close to the sorts of abstract thinking required of programming.

Small children have a great deal of problems with "Paris is in France. We are in Paris." They also have almost no concept of distance as related to geography because they have no internal map of the world. So when you drive out of Paris you are still in France, but if you drive over the border into Belgium you are in another country.

So, teach kids geography.

I experienced this while teaching LOGO to small children (yes, this was years ago). Given a LOGO turtle and a set of instructions it's fascinating to watch them work out how to draw a square.

PS You might think showing small children a map or satellite view would help, but it doesn't help (much) because they have no internal way of breaking down the data presented into what they experience.
I'm not really sure what Amazon has to do with this, but the problem you described - "I changed the API and forgot to update a part of the application" - is exactly what type checking is for.

This is not a "JS community has a thing for..." bit, this applies to any programming language.
Windows 1?
Ok, I admit there are "virus-lazy" people as well as virus deniers. I'm in Montana and here I believe it's a reasonable assumption that someone without a mark in a mask-required scenario is a denier, based on my f2f (outside!) discussions with people. Many deniers. Full blown FoxNews regurgitation.
And yet mysteriously I'm fairly certain that person didn't just "have" an account there...
First off, I think most of that is a fine start.

I think the strongest are review boards and body cams, and the weakest are busting the unions and individual insurance. For the latter, I haven't seen any data showing public support over 50%.

I think the most productive changes would be legalization and demilitarization of the the war on drugs. A centralized database of police violence and complaints would be the next step, and this could go hand in hand with third party review boards.

Even if your proposals and mine were adopted entirely, I don't think they would resolve the fundamental problems with police violence and bring behavior in line with expectations.
I've gotten multiple jobs in life where I was able to negotiate a much larger salary then they had intended to pay due to being of more worth to them once they interviewed me.

So that would be done away with? No thanks. I'm happy that people have varying skillsets and that employers can pay more or less for a posting based on the person they choose.
I'm excited for the upcoming RISC-V SBCs. I don't have a use case for it, but it will be interesting to mess around with.

I think this is what android does, isn't it. Although android doesn't use x.
This is almost there. It just needs to go one step further and remove the websockets.
Yeah, but there won't be many other options to buy at this price. The idea is the squeeze, right? You buy a lot of options. You prop up the price of the underlying asset and refuse to sell. It's not a typical situation.
This reminds me not of every proponent of new technology who can't get their head around knowing the right tool for the job, I think this article is actually positioned better than those.. I do like some of the points.

But instead reminds me of a friend who went full gRPC learning, so far as to start contributing to the newer standard definitions of RPC, he used to turn around and say that all API's SHOULD be replaced with gRPC and argue as I would about how its not always needed etc, he knew enough to counter with good reasons instead or the reasons why it should be.. And sometimes thats the biggest hurdle, its not that it can do everything better, even easier. It's just the commitment devs/companies whoever will have to do it..

I'm guilty of not using the right tool for the job sometimes.. But I'm struggling to think of any protocol or implementation that has been fully replaced without huge intervention..

Even TSL/SSL implentations was (rightly) pushed heavily by browsers, no ssl, no sensitive data transfer. But on its own, I don't see any replacements today wiping out the old.

I'm no fan of latest fads.. You show me a good standards doc thats got strict implementations, I'm on board! You show me a 'recommendation' based on some amazing points and valid critique, I'm not so enthusiastic..
