How well does Burglargard hold up at the edge of the window? Sure, I can imagine it would slow down even a burglar who knows it's there, but a few hits at the edge of the window seems like it would let the burglar peel the glass (held together by the film) away from the frame?
There is still a lot of work to be done on different pricing plans for sure.

This would be really fun in an app for kids.
I think it was "impossible" given the year it was proposed. In 1990 the tech required didn't exist.
This might be, but at the same time the problem is not resolved and contained as it was in Chernobyl.

"We have three 100-ton melted fuel blobs underground, but where exactly they are located, no one knows. Whatever 'barriers' TEPCO has put in place so far have failed. Efforts to decontaminate radioactive water have failed. Robots have failed. Camera equipment and temperature gauges...failed. Decontamination of surrounding cities has failed. "
[..]
"If and when the corium reaches the Tokyo aquifer, serious and expedient discussions will have to take place about evacuating 40 million people"

Considering these future threats have not been resolved in any way I must say I respect for Soviet Unions reaction in Chernobyl case.

You touched on very important idea applicable not only to nuclear industry: it's good when workers at all levels have personal stake in success of the enterprise the work for- stake as in part of profit but part of responsibility as well.
Unfortunately our current culture/economic system introduces disconnect in that respect. It's bad enough in non-critical endeavors and very dangerous in industries like nuclear or say medical research.

My observation is that the biggest obstacle to things going into desired direction of aligned incentives is hierarchical management system. You can't expect workers (engineers in nuclear example) to take all responsibility or even feel responsibility when they rarely have a say in budgeting, safety policy or overall strategy of corporation they work for.
If the system was more democratic so to speak then I can see it happening but currently most endeavors are interested in "minimal pay, no say" policy when it comes to hiring.
But you've made an assumption that they will be more productive in MS Office, with nothing to back that up. I've see users (particularly non-technical, "basic" users) be more productive in LibreOffice. So they may have messed the numbers up and be saving even more than they thought.
As a person who was in japan during the touhoku earthquake, and I'd like to point out that most of the japanese people probably have no idea what is happening in regards to this. If it's on the news, they are probably airing it BECAUSE of the global shitstorm tha has emerged. The only news I trusted while I was there was the BBC (Japanese news told you nothing, American news were sensationalizing every thing, slow at best, wrong at worst)
It is about the end-result of this program that was considered "impossible" - a celestial map consisting billions of stars with detailed information about each of them, including position and movement. It seems that such a task was considered so difficult in the nineteens, that when they requested it they didn't expected to end up with a solution that would completely cover all the requirements.
I agree with Soros in his general feelings about market structure risk in the current system. I would like to see him engage his intellect with the long term pattern that has seen nation states constantly grow more powerful.

I take an interpretation of history that says part of the reason Europe emerged is because it lacked a concentration of power. Power and flowed around many aristocrats and one Catholic church. Later, the church split, giving yet more opportunity for power shifts, and evolution.

These days the tension is between many corporations and a few very powerful nation states. Evolution is healthy, but we're in a long period where nation states have an inevitable growth. The amount of tax they collect as percentage and in real terms grows over time. The reach of states into our freedom grows over time. It's easy for governments to create child institutions. But the evolutionary guards on state instutitions are very weak. They tend to grow larger and less efficient, and are difficult to reform and abolish. They can't go backrupt (except by taking the state down as well). So government just grows and grows.

A dynamic has emerged where governments can take on risk for corporations, and share it around to the people. It's easy to see this in the context of the bank crisis, but it's much better established than that. National works projects are the same thing. They're generally a poor use of money, but the loss is spread around and nobody has incentive to call out mistakes. When they're a success, governments look good. So there's motivation to engage in risk.

It is business as usual for governments to engage in moral hazard. Our structures and narratives don't equip us to defend against this. The current structure of the banking system is only one aspect of this.
The ones I have bought have been decent, but nothing to blow me away. I'd watch a preview and ask people who've seen that specific episode before buying.
Awesome! Thank you! Will there be plug-in capabilities for people who use CMS-type systems, such as wordpress? I see an increasing number of smaller e-commerce sites running on that platform lately...
Do you click ads?

I don't even /see/ them.
Sort of, yeah, but note that the half-life of CO2 in the atmosphere is on the order of a couple centuries for scrubbing into the deep oceans (it gets scrubbed faster into other sinks such as the ocean surface, but those sinks also fill up).

So any warming effect will only last centuries, not thousands of years.
Maybe I've just had bad luck but it seems like the credit unions I've tried are coasting on a reputation that is no longer deserved. Every one I have tried has behaved pretty much the same as any bank, except with worse apps, worse online banking, and worse ATM and branch availability. I can believe that there are great credit unions in the world, but I can tell you first hand that you can't just pick any random credit union and feel assured that they will be better than a major bank. Some of them are just as bad.
If you follow the link in the article to the story of Kitty Genovese, Wikipedia offers a lot of information pointing to exactly how wrong the standard view of the episode is.

There is something ironic about offering a bad example, and then linking to an explanation of how bad your example is which you clearly have not read.
> Polymorphism also gives you what amounts to functional programming without touching C's awful function pointer syntax.

Which aspects of functional programming are you talking about?
They aren't C machines, either. But I agree, that Perl is probably harder to compile to native code than C.
It's much better just to email them a password reset link. It's a little more complicated, but passwords should never be emailed plaintext, because a huge percentage of people use the same one across multiple sites.

I live like a tech luddite except when developing, so I don't use a password store for low security sites. One of my low security/throwaway passwords includes a space.
Just as a note, OkCupid has a strong hookup culture going on as well. In terms of their userbase. So that plays into this, too.
Just thinking about the demographics, your average college student is between 18 and 24. While there are certainly exceptions, this is generally the age at which most people will be at or near their high for physical attractiveness.

Also, college students disproportionately grew up in middle and upper class households so they generally had access to good food, good healthcare, good dental care (including cosmetic dental care), not to mention better clothes and (where appropriate) makeup.

Furthermore, tying in to their age, college students tend to care more about their appearance than the average population. They often consider dating and even looking for a spouse to be a major activity of college. They often have more time to care about it than working professionals. They often have more social pressures to care about it. So, compared to the average population, they put more effort into looking good and that effort often has at least some results.

So, while there are certainly less physically attractive people in college, the student body of most colleges is on average noticeably more physically attractive than the average population.
Indeed, the alarm service does exist, but the API call you'd use (android.app.AlarmManager.setInexactRepeating()) doesn't go nearly as far as he is suggesting about being smart with power/bandwidth/CPU usage. Although it is clever how it will "adjust alarms' phase to cause them to fire simultaneously, avoiding waking the device from sleep more than necessary".
so, ignorance is bliss?
That's a true and valid argument but beware that any C++ advocate could knock it down by saying "then the kernel code standard should reject things like that".
Let's start with this:

In a free society, people are being coerced to participate in a security procedure that violates their privacy. Don't want to go through the porno scanners? Okay, punk — have fun being aggressively groped in punishment.

You don't get to enact this kind of invasive, extreme policy on a whim. Extreme measures call for extreme circumstances and at this point, no one has made any sort of compelling case for the necessity of seeing the American public naked or grabbing them by the nuts.

No one asked for this. And no one gave permission for this, aside from bureaucrats with more agenda than sense.

Finally, anyone dedicated to destroying themselves and others with a nonmetallic explosive is simply going to shove it up their ass. No pat down can detect that. So what, beyond further terrorizing the public, is the point?

The terrorists groups are a bunch of amateurs. If you want to see real terror, call up some bureaucrats.
My os book in college had an appendies on various OS.

Online the oldest is the 7th edition appendies which has details on A)Unix bsd B)Mach and c)windows 2000.

Windows 2000 was the next version of NT. Interesting if long reads about OS architecture.

http://bcs.wiley.com/he-bcs/Books?action=resource&itemId=047...

“ n the mid-1980s, Microsoft and IBM cooperated to develop the OS/2 operating system, which was written in assembly language for single-processor Intel 80286 systems. In 1988, Microsoft decided to make a fresh start and to develop a “new technology” (or NT) portable operating system that supported both the OS/2 and POSIX application programming interfaces (APIs). In October 1988, Dave Cutler, the architect of the DEC VAX/VMS operating system, was hired and given the charter of building this new operating system.”
Perhaps. But I just decided to look at Google Play Movies for the first time in years, and to watching some Avengers movie on there is 18 SGD (approx. 12 EUR). For one movie.

I'm not saying their Games strategy will mirror the one taken for Movies, but I'd advice waiting to see what will happen.
I'm always amazed about why people brag about their ignorance. If you are curious you can google her name faster than you can write a comment complaining you haven't heard about her.
Hmmm, not sure how reliable Wikichip is in this regard.

They're showing the entire Picasso line (which this belongs to) as having ECC support:

https://en.wikichip.org/wiki/amd/cores/picasso

(need to click on the individual chip entries to see though)

Looking through the spec lists for various ASRock boards, they consistently say:

"*For Ryzen Series CPUs (Picasso and Raven Ridge), ECC is only supported with PRO CPUs."

If that's just ASRock playing games, I guess it means they're giving money to their competitors instead. But if it's an AMD thing, that's unfortunate. :(

---

Checking ASUS website, they instead say:

"ECC Memory (ECC mode) support varies by CPU."

Manufacturers playing games like this just leads to bad outcomes. Seems pretty silly.
The edges are way too sharp for EU regulations I guess. Don’t think this model will be allowed in the EU. Sharp edges like these do more harm on collision.
That would be fine under GDPR actually.
I had to giggle a bit. The article claims that "[...] you'd have to scroll down to #6 before you found a provider that wouldn't pay them [...]" on an "unnamed review site". The service in their list at #6 would be "Mullvad".

Looking at their own list[1], "Mullvad" is the only VPN provider listed at the top of the list under "Recommended VPN Services".

Just something that caught my eye and which I considered an interesting coincidence.

Love the design. It's a vehicle, specifically a truck. A simple geometry is practical and applausable for most of cases.

Those who can't accept the anesthetic couldn't accept current iPhone design in if they are in 2005 either.
The US is one of the most anti-pedestrian countries I've been to. Everywhere else I've been to, drivers are supposed to watch out for pedestrians crossing the road. In the US, they've managed to make it illegal!
> The biggest difference with bitcoins is that nobody can create them out of thin air due to whim like they can with USD.

I've never really understood the objection that people have with regards to the Fed printing USD (for instance). It's actually a pretty powerful regulatory tool, isn't it? A small amount of inflation is fine (I think the Fed targets about 2%), but high inflation or deflation is a problem for people who have savings in USD. One way to manage inflation is to control the amount of dollars in circulation, which can be controlled by printing or not printing new dollars (and removing old ones from circulation). There are other ways, but the Fed is fairly limited in terms of techniques it can apply. Can someone explain why bitcoin advocates so often object to that control?
Wait until you find out what happens when people try to take out their money all at once from banks... I remember back in the day when people used to call early internet users internetfreaks and zealots. Now it's the same with Bitcoin. Whatever...
Look up "social recovery wallets" (i.e. Argent).

Here's an article by Vitalik Buterin himself making a case for it:

What? No! It sounds extremely cool to me. I wonder what would indeed sound cool to the author of this article.
> One of the constant refrains which has bemused me during the pandemic is all the people saying how much kids want to go back to school.

My kid do want to go back to school. They were happy when they heard the school will start again and disappointed when it did not. To large extend, they want to be with friends again. To the rest of it, teacher is actually better teacher then us, they enjoy learning part in school more then in home.

It has nothing to do with what I remember about my school. It has to do with what they say to me now and what situation makes them happy.

From my point of view, the time home did taught them some things that were not present in school. But overall they were learning much less then when they went to school every day.
Maybe to some extent, but not fully:
- Not every birth has an active father involved.
- The physical effects of pregnancy will will likely require the mother to take more time off.
- Not all men will want to take extended paternity leave. You can try to force them, but that has its own issues, and makes single men more attractive employees.

Mandating that companies pay employees not to work puts them in an awkward position where they're incentivized to discriminate. If government wants to encourage people to have kids, then government should pay parents directly.
I'm an attorney and I upvoted just because it's so hard sometimes to find user-friendly primary legal resources. This makes it easy to search the rules -- that's rare (believe it or not)!
Wow I was just thinking about this, having a cup of coffee next to a creek out on the edges of town, after asking this:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8939426

Right now I'm in the United States and I'm forming a Nevada Series Limited Liability Company. I needed a Registered Agent to do that, but the question came up for me: how long do I need to be somewhere, and what kind of mailing address do I need, to not even need a Registered Agent?

Nevada has no State tax, but there's still Federal. I'll be watching this with interest on the tax piece... otherwise to me, in this country, it seems like Nevada is the way to go.
Which is in part because both men and women's perceptions of a woman become more negative when she negotiates.
Even then, if you do business in the US for example, unless you're 100% digital ( possibly even then ) you'd be a foreign corporation that'd need to register secondarily in that country, and vooala-- tax exception gone.

Unless someone has a way to prove that wrong?
> ...and yet children can do it. Use that as a lesson.

Children? No, it takes them up to middle school to get somewhat proficient with Kanji knowledge for daily life, but they can still not read a lot of Kanji at that point.

Trust me you can learn this too on the same time span and semi-full immersion if you started now.
Either that or each user’s records are encrypted using their own password and forgot password recovery question/s answers. Here is an example of how it can be done:

Although this approach still requires trust that service providers do indeed encrypt user data.
Is the issue multiple players or is it teams? I didn't have any problem implementing ELO for multiple players in games where there can be multiple losers but one winner. I modeled it as simultaneous wins for the winner, with a K-factor divided by the number of players.

But I wasn't concerned with being mathematically rigourus, maybe there is some glitch with this approach? It was for an EDH group. (BTW, don't do this. We no longer play EDH. It makes the spiky players even spikier, and then they get saltier when they're targeted as they have a far higher ELO)
> Total sperm count in the Western world had fallen 59% between 1973 and 2011.

It doesn't take a genius to see that the West is degenerating. We've never been so fat, unhealthy, lazy, complacent, &c. when our whole lifestyle revolves around producing chemical waste and consuming exhaust fume, micro plastics and leftover pesticides it really isn't a surprise our bodies are starting to fail, garbage in garbage out. But hey, we have netflix and the stock market is up so I guess all is good
> it's much harder to find a consensus on what a technical specialist role looks like.

IMHO that's becasue, in the companies I've worked for, the technical specialist path was really just a dead-end. That's what you would call people who you couldn't fire but had refused to move on to management.

In practice the only real way to go down that path is to set up your own consultancy, so you can work on hard problems in a very specific niche with multiple clients. That's because most "normal" companies just don't have enough hard problems to justify paying for more than a very small number of large fulltime salaries for a given skillset. I expect even in engineer-dominated FAANGs there is a lot of competition for few specialist roles.
Because there are a lot of people willing to live in poverty to be animators.
In terms of literally ending the human race, this seems a bit of hyperbole. The statistic that matters is the percentage of women who want to have children but cannot. I didn't see that pointed to as a trend, and if it actually did become worrisome, those who have virile sperm can donate so those women can still become pregnant.
There's no directory called /rf so the mistake can do no harm, as a good design should be.
So interesting to see how more and more businesses realize they have a single point of failure for a billion dollars streams.

What's even more interesting is that I don't think many considered those as threats 10 years ago.
Agreed! We haven't brought optimization in-product yet because we want to get it right, but we've been having fun doing things like this more informally. E.g. https://enombic.com/mandelbrot/wsb-MPT uses the markowitz model to calculate its weights.

What about setting up a staging environment mirroring production?

Most security experts recommend restricting prod access away from your dev team because doing so alleviates risks from a compliance perspective, and prevents bugs and regressions from being introduced inadvertently.

I’m not providing links here because I do think it’s worth googling and discovering more of the nuanced points many others have made. Sure, you’ll find some shops that use another model, but for most use cases separate environments exist for a reason.
Right but that's usually very low, isn't it? I mean if it's approximately a tenth of what you get paid by month and you have to pay it only once per year (which is the case for France), it doesn't really count as paying to do a PhD.
The chants might help for people who have certain autoimmune conditions, it's a bit of vocal rehabilitation / voice therapy. Some of the mantras are tongue twisters :)

I know someone whose lupus went into remission after they started chanting, but there was one very particular chant that they found working for them.
It refers to the comparisons that Microsoft was always releasing back in what I call 'the Slashdot days', 1998-2002 or so.

One of the better known was a report made by a company called Mindcraft in 1999. If I recall correctly, they were hired by Microsoft to produce these benchmarks, though they didn't make that clear. Or worse, actually.

The report is here: http://www.mindcraft.com/whitepapers/first-nts4rhlinux.html

What happens when you control for income?

In Europe, race appears to play a major role in criminality, unless you take wealth into account. Models controlling for social factors don't reveal any significant race effect.

Poverty is the real culprit. I wouldn't be surprised if this transfered to the US.
There's a free tool called Sysinternals Autoruns (autoruns.exe) which lets you remove all kinds of startup/resident crap. I use it to clean up every couple of months, and as a result my XP is as fast as after a fresh install.
