>>Is there an algorithm that would find the minimum subset of these to cover every parasite/bug?

This is the same problem we have in embedded systems diagnostics. We used to make a list of failure modes, and then a list of diagnostic tests. A given test may detect multiple different failures and I've made grids exactly like this. I always advocate for finding the minimum set of tests to detect all failures (to minimize false positives and simplify software). I was going to make the same point in this case, but parent already did.

To be clear, sometimes it's sufficient to detect failure without knowing exactly what the problem was. For specific diagnostics you may want POST to handle that, but at runtime you may only need to detect that something has failed.
> For some permissions, the app has to
> make use of them before they will show up in App Ops

So by the time an app has stolen all your personal data it's already too late to disable the permissions...

Let's hope this feature will be complete and implemented properly by the time for release. It's far overdue already. This should have been built into the system from the start, now getting apps to degrade gracefully on declined permissions will be a pita.
MD5 was intended to be a message digest hash, so its primary function was to provide non-collidable checksums. (Edit: which it does poorly in an adversarial environment so is now retired for security uses.)

Unlike hashing algorithms designed to be hard to reverse, MD5 has a very fast algorithm, so rainbow tables are fast and easy to create.

A public list of emails only speeds up the process and is not required as you could just build a completely random rainbow table. Prioritizing common email patterns in the table also is just another speed boost.
Oh sure the process with how they work is very different. My point was more towards the 'this is unethical treatment' sentiment. I don't have experience with disulfram, but I'm familiar with a few different methods to treat addiction. Most of them make you feel like shit when you drink as a sort of skinner-style negative conditioning.

So yes, taking the one that doesn't actually make the poison _more toxic_ - just a less pleasant experience - is probably the preferred route so you don't endanger yourself. But it's still forcing yourself to extreme negative consequences and conditioning your brain to associate alcohol with misery.
I used SML in my compiler course in college. Our professors loved SML and maintains a pretty popular compiler for it, so he was a wealth of knowledge and helped us along the way, which made it a much more approachable language than if I were to embark on learning it myself.

Really shows the power for statically typed functional languages, and especially the power of sum types. Representing trees with sum types is so extremely powerful and makes writing compiler oriented code feel very natural. I haven't used it since graduation, but if I had to write a compiler, I'd probably opt for an SML like language, like F#.
13% of total U.S. oil storage capacity. Cushing is the settlement point for for West Texas Intermediate (WTI).
Hopefully, he's ignoring the SEC again and trying to make money by saying random and dodgy things to make money. Or, just trying to show how clever he is and how his actions are unrestricted.
>I don't agree that there is something as punching down. Jokes are jokes. Doesn't matter who makes them or who or what the joke is about. This is once again you thinking that your ideas are the norm.

This is not just my opinion. This is a rather mainstream opinion in the comedy community.

>This line of reasoning doesn't even apply in this case, non-binary people haven't been historically oppressed as it didn't even exist 10 years ago, it was invented on tumblr by teens. 99,99 % of non-binary people are under 30, it's brand new.

I'm not going to criticize your opinions of non-binary people, but this is statement of supposed fact that is simply wrong. There are plenty of examples of non-binary people throughout history and in various cultures. Just because the specific terminology we use today is relatively new does not mean these concepts are new. So whatever studying you claimed to have done about this issue, you should know that exercise was wildly incomplete and therefore your conclusions were at best premature.
So has anybody tested? Radiation is so easy to detect.
There is (was) Patchwork [1].

I too was skeptical, but the author actually reversed the email addresses for half of the entries in the leak in 3 minutes.

The second to last paragraph in the article says: “With my Nvidia RTX 3080 it only took 3 minutes and 17 seconds to process. Hashcat was able to recover 51.81% (972,933) of the hashes.”
I was recently working on implementing CRDTs for a company that did retail shelf edge printing (the sale tags and strips you see when you go the the grocery store). The idea was to build a PDF rendering engine in Rust that we would compile to WASM allowing the clients (stores) to render PDFs on the fly with their in-store devices and printers. One of the challenges was keeping tens or hundreds of thousands of product data (that could update hourly) in sync across thousands of stores.

Ideally when clients (corporate overlords) would send product data an event streaming broker (like Kafka) would log the product. One consumer would insert the product data into the SQL database (current implementation), one would generate CRDTs based on diffs from the current product model, and a chained consumer would broadcast the CRDTs to all connected clients.

The initial sync would be brutal so we'd still support server side queries and rendering but eventually the customers could generate the PDFs themselves regardless of if our server was busy (or offline which happened often).

It was a fun project and I helped lay a ton of the ground work but due to company politics and a generally toxic workplace I jumped ship. My new job would never need CRDTs so I'm now just sitting back and watching the space evolve.

The IRS is at least generous enough to let you make that quarter tax-free.
Thank you for the feedback!

We are in it for the long haul and I would love to learn how we can make this more clear/explicit - what's the page/message/resource from cal.com, for example, which convinced you of this?
(I work at Cloudflare). You can sign up just a subdomain (sub.foo.xyz) as an enterprise customer and then add an NS records from your DNS provider to Cloudflare for that subdomain.

Tunnels also has a testing domain you can use. It should give you a subdomain like xxx-xxx-xxx.trycloudflare.com for basic "How do I get this thing working" testing.
I couldn't quite get used to the proportional version, but I switched from Source Code Pro to Input Mono a while ago. The Extra Light weight looks beautiful on a retina screen.
This isn't legislation, though. It's a private company deciding they don't want to facilitate some speech. Now I agree that there should be some level of compelled speech from private platforms, but I don't think we need to force them to amplify such things.
I've been running caddy (with the cloudflare addon) to serve local services on a https url.

I then set my local dns(Adguard home) to redirect my url to it's lan url. Additionally, I run cloudflare tunnel to expose these services on the internet.

This allows me to use the url for internal services both at home or through the internet while having proper auth through cloudflare access when accessed over the internet. It was been working great for me so far
Is that a downside? Clearly if his code hadn't worked those 2 people would not be alive right now, so in that sense yes bugs will kill people. But if there is no consequence on the world when you write bugs, can there be purpose in the work?
Chemotherapy is a research-backed approach that has been constantly refined since it was first used roughly 100 years ago.

Bloodletting is a theory-based approach and was, as far as we know, in continuous use for thousands of years despite being ineffective for almost every single condition.

The key difference is precisely the research and constant refinement, not any particular mechanism of action.
I saw that part. Still triggered my "maybe and elaborate troll" detector. He doesn't explain why he's doing it this way.
I'm with you on that. I flag articles that are political. That said, the posts about the science behind backscatter radiation, and subsequent discussion on HN, I've enjoyed.
I believe they are being filtered. I'm not sure how dead auto-killed articles appear from the submitter's point of view, but I submitted an article yesterday that included the TSA acronym and it appeared to me without a comment box. This, and the absence articles on the front page, makes me think that filtering is in place.

I'm not complaining --- this is probably a fine policy. But it does complicate how one reads Matt's post. I think that HN actually does a lot behind the scenes to promote a better community, which is what keeps it as good as it is.
> With the same same hand-wavy argument, you could define the curvature of space based on electromagnetic field strength, for example, and argue that electromagnetism is not a force.

Not really so much, since different objects couple to electromagnetism differently based on their charge. All objects follow the same geodesics in general relativity.
It's clear he supports the TSA to "stop planes from getting blown up." Since the majority of HN doesn't agree with that sentiment (at least that's how he paints it), he's sort of being a baby about it and quitting because he can't handle disagreement.

This is an absolutely ridiculous, trollish statement. It bears no obvious relationship to the blog post linked. Do you actually believe this? If so, why?
This is an integration testing framework. There's no 'acceptance' about it.

I'll stick to cucumber. English matters in acceptance testing.
To explain the joke for those who like the idea of tags in a window manager, the parent post is referring to AwesomeWM (http://awesome.naquadah.org/).

(I normally don't go out of my way to explain jokes and thus kill the humor, but I figured it could be useful to some in this case)
"I got eviscerated for suggesting an alternative to berating the front-line TSA workers."

http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1902057

Looks like you got eviscerated for bragging about not reading the article and calling the author a 'douche.' Also, you didn't suggest an alternative to berating TSA workers, you suggested that such alternatives existed, and only in an edit to the original post.
Sure, there are a handful of cancers we've actually made substantial progress on. Out of thousands.

For the most part we've fine-tuned chemo regimens such that you life a bit longer and don't suffer as much. Well, the suffering is postponed, anyhow.
"As if the current plan asked people to get "on board"?"

Well, the US system didn't happen without some degree of public support, but that's neither here nor there. A significant number of people had to be convinced that it was a good idea (i.e. better than what had existed before), and they were willing to hash through the details. Generally if the end result is to be a radical change in government, a whole lot of people are going to have to die. Historically, anyway.

"You just go with the system that was there when you were born and what you were told to accept,"

Well I've got a public history that goes back nearly 20 years that says otherwise. (see a few samples below). I am happy to say our current system is very broken. But any system I propose, I go to effort to show it is fairly well thought through. Notably, my proposals don't try to redo everything, but concentrate on something that actually could be changed realistically. Without a war, would be my preference. (and even if you are the type who says "I'm ok with war", well, you still kinda have to convince more than a few people to join your side)

So...I am very curious how you address some of the questions about how democracy (or, what I would call "direct democracy" as opposed to "representative democracy") would actually work. How do you decide what is on the ballot? (do you vote on that too? How?) Do you turn everything into a binary choice, and use a simple majority vote? Do you have more than two choices, and just pick the one with the most votes, plurality style? Or, better yet, rank them or do Approval voting?

And possibly most importantly, to what granularity are you going to go? When a decision is needed, such as whether to put up a traffic light (or just stick with stop signs) at a particular intersection, does everyone need to vote on it? How about a sick tree on the sidewalk, that needs to be removed or treated? Do you hire employees (i.e. representatives) to make decisions? Or does everybody need to vote on it? And again, what if there are more than two options?

My view is that all proposals for direct democracy I have seen are poorly thought through. (and tend to be proposed by dichotomous thinkers) I challenge you to write a detailed proposal up and defend it. (if you prefer, base it on a "starting from scratch" premise, here's one you can use: http://www.karmatics.com/petridish/ )

I suspect there is a reason it's never been tried at scale, because anyone who suggests it tends to run for cover when they are asked "what exactly do you want us to try?"

If anything, I think there's a lot of value for having people broadcasting on a community level.

In the era of the internet and hyper-connectivity, we've lost that sense of community and having local broadcasters that don't work for companies and don't have corporate agendas is a step towards restoring it.

The available local broadcast frequencies just need to be shared by people in the community and there has to be a strong sense of accountability for mess ups
I’m about 3.5 years in. I just switched from a powerlifting routine to a bodybuilding one. I’m not going to say weightlifting makes me happy, but the notion of ‘zen’ sounds right; especially once I figured out my only competition was myself.

> Dark mode objectively is more straining on the eyes

Can you substantiate this?
There's a good Lucy Parsons quote about this type of guy.
One way in which the brain differs from conventional computers is that neurons appear to serve as both CPU and memory storage. Rather than having a few fast CPUs and a large bank of dedicated memory with a few busses (leading to "the von Neumann bottleneck" of data transfer between memory and CPU), the brain has many slow neurons each of which has many connections with other neurons.

So, in-memory computing may be more brain-like.

The brain appears to be very good at massive concurrency with low energy consumption, at the expense of slow serial computation and a high error rate.
i have a separate problem. i got a puppy and there was a time where i had to just put in headphones while i was crate training him, and listen to rain sounds to fall asleep, instead of his cries. months later, all i get on my discover feed are a bunch of mellow rain/sleepy songs. I dont actually listen to that crap, i just want it periodically for certain things. there needs to be a way to tag songs as "DO NOT CONSIDER" for the discover feature
I was getting the same impression. Surely these traders couldn't be so dense?

This isn't even necessarily a HFT issue. If I go look at the quote for a stock on Google Finance, the only thing I'm completely sure of is that the value displayed is not in fact the accurate price. It's a reflection of the past.
You are correct, the parent made a broad generalization that's not true. Mongodb indexes represent the sitaution though, in a schemaless environment, what is the meaning of an index on a collection heterogenuous records? If the system enforces that the indexed fields are always present (either the app or the nosql store) then hmmm isn't that a schema?

The other issues is joins across record types sometimes joins are supported, sometimes not.

I can second this: I spent years looking in utterly the wrong direction with things, even making this: http://tiledtext.com so that I could program with motion sensors instead—then someone recommended to me (for a second time, since I ignored it the first time) Dr. Sarno's work.

BTW: that you're left hand started in so soon after is probably a good indication that this isn't entirely physical!

Sarno's stuff works (as you'll find plenty evidence of on the internet (e.g. http://www.satori.org/rist/)), but the theory it's framed in is pretty bad, so be prepared for that...

An alternative talking about the same stuff without annoyingly trying to theorize so much is (check out the reviews, you'll see the title is quite misleading): http://www.amazon.com/Rapid-Recovery-Back-Neck-Pain/dp/09669...
I wonder when being a sysadmin will be automated away. My job is, pretty much, to replace every single thing I do with a script. For some reason there continues to be work to do. I strongly suspect I could work until I'm 100 if I want to. Because EVEN IN THE FUTURE, NOTHING WORKS.
He was specifically talking about his experience with Mandarin.
Hmm... upon closer reading, I see the charts says that there is a 17% chance that there will be some degree of job losses due to computerization. I think that's a more reasonable thesis (though not for the reasons you mention).

Fire prevention will only take you so far. You still need to be able to deal with the inevitable fires that still occur, and you need to have the capacity to deal with them 24/7/365. You can only reduce staffing so much and still have the ability to put a single structure fire out, and many departments are at that point already.

I do see a potential for job losses due to augmentation technologies (exoskeltons, etc) that will enable one firefighter to do tasks that previously took two, etc...

> Yeah - this is a sample of the 'gold standard' of psychology papers, and only 10/13 could be reproduced.

It also raises the question of whether the reproducibility study is itself reproducible.
Doubt it just yet. People aren’t moving yet, people lost jobs. So if the market properly recovers, it will stick around.
They don’t guarantee it they just provide a disclaimer. There’s plenty of driver monitoring solutions they could provide but don’t. Combine that with deeply unethical promises of full self driving coming just around the corner, feature complete by 2020, fully autonomous road trip by 2017, and you’re left with a dangerous product and customers that overestimate its abilities.
I guess I meant: what value does it provide which is not provided by IDEA IDE?
I thought it was but because 1TB is not too far out of the park, it would he been more obvious if something like '1 exabyte gpu' was used. Then, at least for a few years to come, it is indeed crazy talk.
Wasn't trying to argue we weren't in a bull market right now, just not sure how long it will last. You said basically the same as I did, that it may end within a year. I hope it will last a lot longer than that, of course. Hell, I was hoping we'd be flirting with $50k 2 or 3 years ago.

It looks like it should last longer based on the institutional investment, but I also thought we had enough interest three years ago and suddenly we entered bear territory (thankfully I luckily sold some of my crypto a week before it started to drop for a downpayment on a house, but I held on to the rest for way too long, way too long meaning I never sold, and should have sold and bought back in a year or two later, in hindsight). At least I still have it now for this boom, but I could have had double or triple what I have now.

But I'm watching the market and news like a hawk in case sentiment seems to shift back to 'the sky is falling' suddenly again.
> But with Bitcoin you can drive across the border and actually buy milk or medicine, no fiat currency involved.

I still don't understand why the government of Venezuela is so bad that it's literally leaving their people without the necessary means to buy milk, where "government has been able to partially block internet access to citizens by using a system that allows them to restrict selected content that may threaten their power over the country" but allows people to use untraced bitcoins...
