From the article:

"Several freed disabled slaves told the AP they will return because they think that even the salt farms are better than life on the streets or in crowded shelters. In some cases, relatives refused to take back the disabled or sent salt farmers letters confirming that they didn't need to pay the workers."

If you ever need an example that there is no "government" there is only "us" you can use that one. These are horrific circumstances for the people involved. The solution is for the people in this community to take ownership of the horror and to commit to eradicating it. That means that each of them will either pay with some of their earned income or with their time, and they will take care of these disabled people and feed them and house them. Individually it will be a small sacrifice, but collectively it will give the disabled a way to live outside of slavery.

Except they don't.

In a democracy, it is run at the whim of the people. When it becomes too corrupt or veers too far from the will of the people who are governed, it is the people who must change it. Sometimes that can be done with voting, sometimes it takes protest, sometimes it requires one give up their own lives.

The choice to eject the current government is also a commitment that people share.
Interestingly, the tool that turned me on to using go as a commandline tool builder was a little thing called jq [1] that's a huge huge help in dealing with json from bash scripts. I have no specific pointers, though, so I'm glad some other people jumped in.

Yeah, it's definitely true that a large percentage of people who "know" javascript have about that much knowledge. But still, if you look at absolute numbers of people who can make a function and write a for loop in JS, it's still going to dwarf the number of people who can loop and write a defun in elisp.
I've built a suite of useful shortcuts that only work with my vimrc, which isn't a problem since installing my config from my github repo is a 3 step process, but when I'm running in some "vim-mode" editor I find myself tripping up on not having these things that I've committed to muscle memory and it ends up killing my productivity. At least if I know the editor is always in insert mode I can adjust with the occasional :w here.
Do you mean that there are spies informing Google about Microsoft's new product?
In some countries the price per SMS is not null. Also you have received verification. And group messaging with some features that are not available in MMS. Also end to end encryption.
I guess there will be an option for that. Almost everything of the Win 10 stuff that MS showed off today was optional.
I might be ignoring something, but this appears to be the first ahead-of-the-pack innovation from Microsoft that I've seen in at least 20 years. Congrats to them.
Seriously, having your own domain goes a long way for credibility. Sorry about my confused reply, ChrisNorstrom, no harm intended. Oh and the "not bothering" bit of my comment was uncalled for, so, sorry for that as well.
The thing is, "beg the question" as it is used in everyday language is much more transparent and easier to understand than its 'proper' usage.

If you want to describe that specific fallacy in some way, there's a lovely phrase for that which already exists, describes the fallacy better, and uses fewer words - "petitio principii".

"Beg the question" used in this sense strikes me as redundant, inaccurate as a translation and a description, clunky, and pointlessly confusing. I hope its misuse is not actively fought, and that people who wish to describe the fallacy find a better way of doing so.
Bitbucket has git & mercurial, bugtracker, wiki and a download feature for binaries. Not sure about forums.
Ubuntu Edge isn't a straight-forward phone OS though - it was intended to be a desktop/laptop replacement in a phone-sized package (run the Phone UI when disconnected, run a "desktop" UI when connected to an external monitor/keyboard/mouse). So a cheap piece of hardware would not be sufficient.
IMO Razer did it better - on my 13" Stealth, there's one USB-C port on each side and one USB-A as well. Not having to look for the * dongle everytime I need to plug in anything is such a blessing after owning MacBooks - and I can still charge the laptop on both sides, with Apple chargers no less.

counter battery fire

The max effective range of a M1A2 is 3,500m. Max effective range of a Howitzer (155) is 18,000m.

You don't set up artillery where you'll be overrun by tanks.

People ITT talking about using the tank main gun as counter bat are confusing indirect fire with direct. Tanks cannot elevate the main gun like artillery (unless we're talking about mobile artillery).

When infantry kills tanks (not using air or fire support) usually requires near line of sight for targeting (TOW, Javelin). If you shoot and scoot you're still within the max effective range of the main gun (but hopefully outside max effective range for the coaxial). Therefore, if the APS gives the TC (tank commander) a POO (point of origin) he's going to swing the main gun around and blast them, as there's little cover you can find that will protect you from a tank round.

These TOW jockeys in Syria get such good kills on video because they're near max effective range for the TOW, in daylight (everything in the desert has roughly the same surface temp) challenging the sensors, shooting at old ass tanks. Count the flight time of the TOWs you see in those videos. Look where they're shooting from. Look what they're shooting at!

How is it fashionable for the phone to be heavier?
The difference is we can also vote that person out of office and there won't be violence to prevent it.
You can generate TOTP codes from any computer (not just phones). This builds and runs on Linux, Windows and Macs:

God I hate lowered contrast on sites, especially as I'm aging. Give me the crisp edges of black and white, if I want to lower the contrast I'll turn down my brightness settings.
I oversimplified a bit. I have a low-traffic "admin" interface that's rendered server-side. The people using that are my direct customers and are the only authenticated users (they auth in a traditional in-app way).

I also have a high(er)-traffic frontend on a CDN which is used by their customers. User writes there are purchases/payments handled by third(fourth?)-party SaaS.
(2017) maybe?
You need to be routinely running valgrind on every bit of C code you write, and that will catch uninitialized reads along with many other classes of bugs.
If you consider everything that goes into rasterizing a line of text, it's not entirely surprising that a bitmap draw is considerably faster. ("Cache to bitmap".)

This is definitely a good place to optimize, though, if one needs to.

What's super funky is the difference between Chrome and The Rest. I'd not have expected that.

It's probably Google tracking your font rendering choices. ;-) ;-)

Edit: "performance murder" and the opening graphic are pretty hilarious.
I imagine those friends in tech will help him bring in new sponsors. Isn't that a big part of the job?
My experience indicates otherwise.
The most interesting point of this article is the fact they designed their services to degrade instead of fail. Also, due to the fact that they have engineered their servers to use multiple zones that also allowed them to avoid failure. Are these strategies too expensive for other sites to engineer or could they have been designed in?
So basically under your proposed rule, someone could download as much child porn as he wanted in complete safety as long as he made sure to keep his wifi unprotected? Your rule needs some refinement! :-)
115.9m households have TVs[1], so 23.6m accounts is just over 20% of households with TVs subscribing. That seems more reasonable. The 7% figure assumes 1 account per person.

I believe this is commonly called the 'Reactor pattern':

It is not a legal bar, it's simply considered safe corporate
HR practice to automatically delete any resumes with picture attachments before they are viewed so that the pictures cannot possibly form the justiifcation for an employment discrimination lawsuit (i.e., choosing not to hire based on race/age/gender).

IOW, you can include a photograph on your resume, but the likely result of sending that resume to a large corporation is that it will be deleted immediately.
Shhh. You're spoiling everyone's fun. How can you expect me to get all worked up about a notice about a non-existent notice?
I've noticed something similar in dance and language. I think it has something to do with mirror neurons feeding back into meaning making.

When you hear a word in a language you know, mirror neurons probably fire the patterns that would be required to make those sounds yourself. If you don't have experience making a sound, you're less likely to be able to detect subtle nuance in it, and those patterns tie into your memory of the times you have used that word.

The same with dance. While taking dance classes, I found that watching very good dancers gave a visceral thrill that wasn't there before... Like I could FEEL what they were doing.

RED and Factor both provide single binaries of about 1M that have all the capabilities that a browser has, including a built-in programming language.
It absolutely does not. I tried setting up mail on my own server and by all accounts I did everything right. Mail-Tester and similar services found no issues, I had all the optional records including DKIM, SPF, etc. and yet I couldn't rely on my mail going through.

Microsoft (Outlook.com) was particularly bad: mails were silently dropped without notice to me or the recipient even when I was replying to a mail they sent. I tried adding my e-mail address on my own servers to the trusted senders list on a MS account of my own and even then not all mail would go through.

Gmail ocasionally put me in spam but at least always delivered my messages.

At that point I gave up since I consider email to be too essential to be flaky and paid for Migadu. I have been very happy with their service and appreciate their pricing strategy (charging for number of mails sent, not the number of domains or mailboxes added). That said, I still dislike paying for hosting that I had sufficient capacity for on my own servers.
Wow, this is really cool. Will definitely give this a spin. Good luck to you guys!
It's sort of driving me crazy that "Add" isn't capitalized like the other ops: "ADD"
I am highly skeptical of this approach. Not only has this been attempted before, it appears to be on course to repeat the same technical design mistakes that caused prior attempts to fail. You can't decompose weather/climate style supercomputing models below a certain resolution because the fundamental characteristics of the computation are not meaningfully representable that way. Scalable models that correctly and efficiently capture the macro effects of many types of sparse, high-resolution dynamics require much more sophisticated computer science, systems engineering, and ways of representing data. You can't brute force it.

In particular, this is a notoriously poor approach to modeling complex large-scale interactions between humans and their environments. There was a study I was involved in last year to determine why one of the epidemiological models for COVID was so badly off target. The root cause was modeling human behavior in the same way you would model weather, which is quite inappropriate but the implementors of the epidemiological model did not have the expertise to know better.

The selection of GPUs is also not appropriate for the nominal objectives of the program. When modeled correctly, i.e. not as weather, these kinds of things aren't the kind of workload GPUs are good at. They tend to look more like very high dimensionality sparse graphs -- latency-hiding is more important than computational throughput. CPUs are actually quite good at this.

This looks more like a program more designed to produce press releases than useful results.
you missed the elephant in the room:

bitcoin can almost double (2x) in value every 4 years without an increase of energy usage by miners (if you put a wide enough filter)

- I guess most understand that the reason is the supply halving finding place every 210.000 blocks (roughly 4 years), and nothing to do with technology/moore's law or anything else

- this will probably be true (more or less... lets say 1.8x -2x) for another 2 halvings

- then the rate [1] will decrease from about 2x to 1x while fees rapidly start to be the predominant source of revenue to miners, and less and less the newly minted coins)

[1]: rate of possible increase in value for the same amount of energy consumed
You should see the bets people make on the Superbowl, if you think this YOLO is crazy.
Well, their legal technique is a little more nuanced.

They are selling a product which is a legal and legitimate driver assistance tool which does not have autopilot.

You, as a user, can then modify the device by flashing unregulated code onto it to give it autopilot code, which is not advised by comma.ai *wink wink*
Cool idea, simple and easy.

Quick question - $7 actually seems pretty cheap to me for 12 cards, how are you able to cover the cost of postage and the card cost? Is mailing a postcard cheaper than the normal postage rate?
This tool is doing the brute force of 11000 PINs, which is mentioned in the article but not this particular attack.
How else would you do it (assuming you wanted to use floats)?
It's probably very naive, but that makes me wonder whether these neural nets are trained to recognize noise or meaningless images as such. If we train a system to tell us what an image represents, the system will do its best to classify it in one of the existing categories. But having a low confidence in what an image represents it's not the same as having high confidence in the fact that it doesn't represent anything. So maybe we should train the networks to give negative answers, like "I'm totally confident that this image is just noise".
Note: it's cool how two different back-of-the-napkin calculations gave a very similar result.
Any particular reason this is being linked to slate.com instead of 99 Percent Invisible's own site? There does not appear to be any additional content and they are missing a correction update.

"On the other hand, this whole hacking scandal could just be another brilliant Gawker ploy to get traffic. They might have even paid Gnosis to do it."

E2E encryption is only available in one-to-one chats, and those chats are specific to the device. So, like Signal chats effectively.
The title attribution poses another riddle: "PDP-1/B and miniature model railroad at University of Massachusetts".

The PDP-1B was the production prototype of the PDP-1 and there were only 2, we know of. The first one (white) was intended for LLNL, but the order got delayed and it went to BBN instead, the second one (blue) became the actual LLNL machine.

Update: Curiously, the this page [1] also mentions a "PDP-lB" [sic!]:

Anyway, this seems to confirm the Amherst link already suggested by Steve Russell.

You can make good Electron apps if you care enough.

Electron is decidedly not why Signal Desktop is terrible, it's just a contributing factor.
Gradient-Free-Optimizers is a lightweight optimization package that serves as a backend for Hyperactive: https://github.com/SimonBlanke/Hyperactive

Hyperactive can do parallel computing with multiprocessing or joblib, or a custom wrapper-function.
Parallel computing can be done with all its optimization algorithms. You could even pass a gaussian process regressor like GpFlow to the Bayesian Optimizer (GFO and Hyperactive) to get GPU acceleration.
For the opposite side of this, I highly recommend that people read http://eruditorumpress.com/blog/the-beigeness-or-how-to-kill..., which does a thorough explanation of why Scott is a bad writer and how he promotes incorrect and damaging views. Scott's entire game is to use rhetoric to support poorly backed hypotheses like "feminism is terrible".

There was literally a women in the rationalist community who committed suicide due to harassment and Scott's first reaction was to insinuate that all of her accusations were false.
It is already partially implemented now. Just waiting on the full rollout.

And here was I expecting a typically insightful commentary by PG regarding the front page of a business journal.
I personally can't stand most Samsung phones. I've had a few, going back as far as an old white Samsung flip phone. They come with so much built in crap, they've by and large lasted less time than any other brand of phone I've bought and the price is always higher than equivalent phones from other brand.

>LG always seemed a lot closer to stock Android, and was good at staying out of your way.

Motorola was always my go to for that, but I picked up an LG for the first time since my very first cell phone back in 2005 and so far, I've been pretty damn impressed.

It did come with a bit of extra prebuiltin crap, but it was actually possible to uninstall it, not just disable it like on Samsung phones. The unreprogrammable hardware button that does nothing but open Google assistant is kind of annoying, but I don't think that's an lg specific thing? Or maybe it is? I couldn't really tell when I was looking up if it could be changed to do something different.

Fun fact just because:

Samsung and LG also both make engineered stone for countertops, by and large the LG stone outsold the Samsung stone at the shop I worked at by a large margin.

LG Cirrus was like the third most popular engineered stone we sold after caesarstone and silestone.

We occasionally had some Samsung stone jobs, but they were pretty rare.

There is a real risk of correlation being confounded with causation here, but analysis in the area is tricky at best.
And, in my experience, taxi drivers displeased with your tip will make it clear, even if you have no idea what makes for a fair tip.
Just be aware, figuring out workarounds for some of these flexbox bugs in the wild can be a bit tricky - I ran into the min-height one not being respected on all browsers but Chrome, but I was able to find a different workaround in order to get it to play nice on all browsers.
I have a Macbook Air with Arch Linux on - Love it.
The hardware runs well (for the most part) and the software is getting to be more supported by the Arch Team.

I really enjoy my current set up, even though it took a while to get here!
Most of the time you don't. It's a cliche - but true - that trying to do a startup or run a time intensive business, is a relationship killer.

The money side of it, if it's someone that is really in to you, is not a big deal compared to the time.

You only get to choose to invest in to a few things time wise, when you're doing a startup. You can watch TV, or exercise. You can play video games, or eat healthier by cooking every meal. You get the idea. In my opinion, the best way to keep a gf during this time, is to abandon anything else that is worth less to you in life than her (except the critical stuff like health related items).

Don't watch tv, watch movies, or play games, unless it's with her. If you can, work out with her; cook, with her. Do the startup, and spend time with her, and that's your life.

Otherwise, until things settle down, don't date unless you're ok with casual dating or dealing with upset girlfriends.
I'm reminded of this[1], that I dug up from my threads here on HN:

> This sad, sick notion that hackers are terrorist enemy #1 and this is the most important thing governments should be working on is, like this movie will probably be, shitty fiction, a self-fulfilling prophecy perpetuated by Hollywood in movies like War Games that make it look like we're all going to be nuked thousands of times if we don't stop the Hacker menace. Help me change the media's perception of hacking before we start throwing more whistleblowers and e-graffiti artists in prison.

"e-graffiti artists" resonated with me as a phrase, and I think this is exactly such a case.

I hope his prosecutors do their jobs within reason[2]...

Exactly. Killing Hollywood doesn't necessarily mean beating them at their own game. Killing Hollywood means that some competitor (or perhaps several competitors) will take away enough share of the entertainment market to make Hollywood's business collapse. For example, TV shows have taken a large chunk of business away from the motion picture industry since TV was invented, but they're not feature films. A similar example might be tablets killing the PC industry: tablets are not PCs, but they've taken a large chunk of business away from the PC market.
That's why this is a Monty Hall problem. If you put the phase change material between the coffee and the insulation, it works. If you don't, it does not, because we are forgetting that the definition of heat is of a system, and heat exchange is on the interface. Coffee exchanges with a certain efficiency that is unaffected by the presence of a more efficient heat transfer material holding a reservoir of heat, unless that reservoir begins at a higher temperature.

You may need to go all the way back to definitions on this one, but it works out, and it predicts, correctly, that the effect is insignificant, per volume of coffee.

Yes, you can keep less coffee warmer longer by putting a volume inside it. That's not impressive. Can you keep the same amount of coffee warmer longer? You cannot.
brson likes scatter those around. Rust's new runtime has gave me a few of when it first landed. Unfortunately I haven't seen any in quite a while. :(

You probably want something like pyfakefs[1], a reimplementation of Python's (old) filesystem modules for the purpose of testing.

My guess is that either you will have to write it, or you will have to convince a C++ developer that it is worth writing cppfakefs.

Otherwise, you can build a test_root_dir RAII object that creates a directory in /tmp and does the cleanup automatically in its destructor.
