I believe you'll have to train yourself to recognize two things as facts:

The first, is that whatever you believed you loved about her was just in your head. Her actions have proven she's not the woman you thought she was, so your dreams about the type of life you could have with her are just that; dreams. A phantasm of your imagination that you'll need to let go of. What you think she is and what she actually is are two entirely different things.

The second is that whatever you felt for her, you can feel for someone else. You'll find another person you care about. She isn't the only one.

Whenever you start pining for her, try to remember these things and cut yourself off from any dreams of reconciliation; remind yourself of the facts of the situation and move on.
What's the betting that the terms of that "free" licence involve some sort of admission of RunwayFinder's guilt, or of the validity of FlightPrep's patent?
Yeah, you're right; my logic is flawed. You insert $100 of coins, it says, "no coins inserted, try again". Instant profit :)
Maybe my edit went in too late. It really could be a modded platform, which isn't THAT much more expensive. Figure in cost of tweaking the software and providing infrastructure along with installing custom software on the phone and you've got something that at most probably wouldn't be much more than twice as expensive as a normal smartphone. Exclude infrastructure costs that would probably be there whether you used civilian stock phones or not.

I don't see how what you said fully relates. If the soldiers bought their own devices, they wouldn't get to put secret information on them...which was the point I was trying to make. I should have emphasized "more secure" more than I did.

The soldiers can freely buy whatever phone they want for their own private use. Why should the taxpayer be buying personal smartphones, anyway?

Most historians won't compare blacks and native americans to "voluntary minorities".

The bulk of blacks in America today are descendant from people who were taken here involuntarily and have had a completely different history up until about 1970 than any other minority. Native Americans have their own history obviously that is similiarily oppressed.

Compare that to someone from Asia or South/Latin America or Mexico who came here for largely the same reasons as the Europeans did in the 1700s and 1800s - better job prospects or for some reason a better life in America. That self selects who comes a lot more than most people realize.

Obviously most people were born here and are not immigrants, but we are largely descendent from immigrants and that shapes our views. If you grow up with your family story being praise about how much better life is now than in the old country, wouldn't that be a whole lot different than growing up and your family story being about how you were kidnapped, dragged here, enslaved, and then discriminated against for 115 years after you were no longer slaves?
The gun does the exact same thing the picks do, only with less flexibility and more easily. I don't see why a locksmith who had picks handy already would have to run out to get the gun when you told him you didn't need the show. He should be able to scrape it with the proper pick regardless...

Although, I realise I'm probably just nitpicking.
Does anyone know how Linode's latency from Chicago compares to Slicehost (which is 20ms round-trip for me)?

At work, I'm stuck with servers that are 100ms+ away, and they are unusable over ssh with that latency. I'm willing to switch to Linode, but only if I get box-under-my-desk-like speed :)

(with up so floating many bells down)
spring summer autumn winter
he sang his didn't he danced his did.

Women and men(both little and small)
cared for anyone not at all
they sowed their isn't they reaped their same
sun moon stars rain

children guessed(but only a few
and down they forgot as up they grew
autumn winter spring summer)
that noone loved him more by more

when by now and tree by leaf
she laughed his joy she cried his grief
bird by snow and stir by still
anyone's any was all to her

someones married their everyones
laughed their cryings and did their dance
(sleep wake hope and then)they
said their nevers they slept their dream

stars rain sun moon
(and only the snow can begin to explain
how children are apt to forget to remember
with up so floating many bells down)

one day anyone died i guess
(and noone stooped to kiss his face)
busy folk buried them side by side
little by little and was by was

all by all and deep by deep
and more by more they dream their sleep
noone and anyone earth by april
wish by spirit and if by yes.

Women and men(both dong and ding)
summer autumn winter spring
reaped their sowing and went their came

To One In Paradise (Edgar Allen Poe):

Thou wast all that to me, love,
For which my soul did pine-
A green isle in the sea, love,
A fountain and a shrine,
All wreathed with fairy fruits and flowers,
And all the flowers were mine.

Ah, dream too bright to last!
Ah, starry Hope! that didst arise
But to be overcast!
A voice from out the Future cries,
"On! on!"- but o'er the Past
(Dim gulf!) my spirit hovering lies
Mute, motionless, aghast!

For, alas! alas! me
The light of Life is o'er!
"No more- no more- no more-"
(Such language holds the solemn sea
To the sands upon the shore)
Shall bloom the thunder-blasted tree
Or the stricken eagle soar!

And all my days are trances,
And all my nightly dreams
Are where thy grey eye glances,
And where thy footstep gleams-
In what ethereal dances,
By what eternal streams.

Do not stand at my grave and weep (by Mary Elizabeth Frye):

Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there. I did not die.
During the period in question, we know of at least one vulnerability (Heartbleed) that could have been used to extract private keys from software TLS implementations. There are still other, unreported vulnerabilities that could be used today.

His analysis that there are unreported vulnerabilities in TLS implementations sounds definitive enough to think he knows some of these vulnerabilities.
Hmm, yet people overwhelmingly agree that slavery is nothing to be proud of, and somehow I'm sure you'd never play the "difference of opinion" card in defence of slavery...

Anyway, I'm proud of myself because I know that when I go to buy food, clothes, and much more, I purposefully choose products which do not require that, behind closed doors, untold numbers of feeling, sensate creatures are, among other things, purposefully genetically manipulated to live lives of sickness and deformity, housed in miserable concentration camp-like conditions, and slaughtered barbarically. I'm proud to stand up for the rights of creatures with mental capacities the equivalent of young human babies - and I'm especially proud that I stand up for creatures unable to speak up for themselves, and hence so easy to discount and ignore their suffering and mistreatment.

What are you proud of when you buy and eat meat?
I used it. It never showed me the server key or asked to verify it.

There is a great story mathematicians tell about Von Neumann when he first met Dantzig. From what I remember, Dantzig goes to the chalkboard to explain the finer points of his simplex method and Von Newmann quickly grows bored and interrupts him by saying "oh that". Von Newmann then procedes to point out some deep insights that would only have been obvious to Von Newmann himself. Dantzig later recalls being left speechless by the brilliance of Von Newmann.
where's the "show HN: create beautiful forms with typeform" post?
I’m ok with a convention but considering how that could become it’s own complete config maybe alphabetical would just be better. Also it typically has less issues with git changes.
Yeah it's a gnarly problem for sure. I mean I'm sure doing some sort of hash-based blocking would knock out 80% of the content related to a takedown request, but I could also see that last 20% being difficult af to purge.

Just to expand a bit, the sigma symbol is a standard symbol used to indicate the standard deviation of a measurement, and standard deviation is roughly a measure of how much variation there is within a data set (and consequently how confident you can be in your measurement). So when they say that the theoretical result is now 4.2 sigma (units of standard deviation) away from the experimental result instead of 2.7 sigma, that is because the new experiment provided more precise data that scientists could use to lower the perceived variance.

Assuming that there were no experimental errors, you can use the measure of standard deviation to express roughly what % chance a measurement is due to a statistical anomaly vs. a real indication that something is wrong.

To put some numbers to this, a measurement 1 sigma from the prediction would mean that there is roughly a 84% chance that the measurement represented a deviation from the prediction and a 16% chance that it was just a statistical anomaly. Similarly:

> 2 sigma = 97.7%/2.3% chance of deviation/anomaly

> 3 sigma = 99.9%/0.1% chance of deviation/anomaly

> 4.2 sigma = 99.9987%/0.0013% chance of deviation/anomaly

Which is why this is potentially big news since there is a very small chance that the disagreements between measurement and prediction are due to a statistical anomaly, and a higher chance that there are some fundamental physics going on that we don't understand and thus cannot predict.

edit: Again, this assumes both that there were no errors made in the experiment (it inspires confidence that they were able to reproduce this result twice in different settings) and that there were no mistakes made in the predicition itself, which as another commenter mentions eleswhere, is a nontrivial task in and of itself.
It's common for people to identify with their job too much, independent of employer. It almost feels like it's a rite of passage to pour everything into your first job in your early to mid twenties, especially if you're a high performer with something to prove and you're lucky enough to work on something that "really matters". What I've seen is most people go through a period of mild depression / burnout, realize that a job can be a fun and rewarding part of life but isn't life in it's entirely, and then live on more happily after learning to keep some distance.

I can slot 4 disks in the front of my pizza boxes, too... I was just doing the calculation without disk because the blade was priced out without disk.

my power figures are approximate, but real-world; This is what it says when you log in to the APC.

also, unless you own the data centre, cooling costs are priced into power. 2x20a 120v circuts are the most I can get in one rack (they don't want too much power density, right?) that's 30a 120v usable, or 3600 watts, and it costs me about a grand a month. Being as you can easily slot more than 30 pizza boxes in a 44u rack, density doesn't matter, because even my lowest density solution can give me more power density than the co-lo cooling system can handle, so when I'm pricing things out, I simply count each watt as costing me around $0.28 per month. Which includes rackspace, but as I said, in the data centres available to me, the factor limiting density is the cooling system, not my equipment.

Despite all the focus on the losers in the rising inequality, it is equally true that is easier (in very relative terms) than ever before for basically anybody in the world to amass huge wealth. Basically you're getting a lot of new rich people who don't have all the rich people toys in their family already and they need to stock up quickly.

Thank you very much! I'm mainly interested in Game AI, though I would not be surprised to find "modern" AI used in games at some point, either.

If it's not too much trouble, the slides sound extremely interesting.
So, the question is why current systems are architected to make an unnecessary tradeoff between privacy/security and convenience, and then how to make something that's competitive with current systems, and doesn't make that tradeoff.
quote from Cryptonomicon by Neal Stephenson
Okay, I guess I have been in a position to interview senior software engineers who can "design new systems" all day on a whiteboard with artificial "interview" constraints but who could never actually solve this problem. I think this is a better question for senior engineers than junior ones. You seem to be assuming that a senior candidate who could blag their way through a "hard" design question in an hour could ALSO solve this problem and I don't know where you've worked but in my experience that is not at all true. In my experience, senior engineers often can't code much at all because they have worked at places with a ton of people writing code where code just "happens" and they are good at all the other processes that are code adjacent but "I haven't written much code recently". You better test that they can write real code and not leetcode.

I'm a senior engineer and I do a lot of design and architecture and code review every day but I would probably fail most generic leetcode tests and I think I would pass this one, so I feel kind of personally validated by that, so excuse the passionate response. :)
> What makes you think that shareholders in Twitter or Uber don't care
that they'll never make a penny?

Who are "they"? Be specific. The shareholders can make a pretty penny
while the companies never do. Because they're shareholders, not
workers, or customers, or execs, or owners.

> what someone is willing to pay for it", not its actual utility

Pay for what? Please be specific. The service of the company or the
value of its share?

You've really answered your own question. The "actual utility" of a
share is nothing but it's propensity to go up. Financial markets don't
care about anything else. Just don't be the shareholder left holding
anything when the music stops.

My ISP's support told me to always use their local copy (https://speed.aussiebroadband.com.au/) as it avoids routing issues downstream but more importantly, it logs the history onto my account for them to view.

The numbers are often higher than what I pay for, but I think they are honest. When I was having connection issues (dialup-tier download speeds, 20 megabit upload) it was reflected accurately. Since I trust them, I like this arrangement. If I didn't then I wouldn't.
Why does an app need to know which other apps you have installed? Because it might want to interface with those apps obviously. Apple has actually ratcheted down permissions on that API because it was abused.

People want apps to be able to do things and those things can often allow tracking in addition to being useful to the user. There is pretty much one API Apple devised specifically for tracking users and this very issue is Apple attempting to shut down.

Clarification: Just to be clear, Apple isn’t shutting down the API entirely, they are changing it from opt-out to opt-in.
The agreement doesn't exist yet, it's being negotiated. However, there are misconceptions about how FTAs, ISDSs and public international law in general work.
There's a lot that could be said about this code, but the worst is that it has an incorrectly implemented swap when one exists in the standard collections library. I don't understand why you would show off a feature (which admittedly has an some poor interactions with other aspects of the language) while simultaneously neglecting the standard library and all the language improvements that happened between 1 and 8.

Java doesn't need anymore disservices.
Never looked at it myself, think is quite small. But there are plenty of dark net markets that aren't Silk Road.

Since Silk Road 2 was taken down by the feds (sometime last year, around 6-9 months ago I think) the first to look like the biggest was Agora, then Evolution quickly became the most popular due to its nicer functionality (and nicer design), and the fact that Agora often has short periods of downtime due to server load.

Evolution disappeared a few weeks ago, seemingly the owner(s) decided to "exit scam" - i.e. shut down with no warning and steal all BTC stored in the site by vendors/buyers, thought to be worth $8m (plus whatever profit they made from commission in the previous year).

Since then it has been assumed that Agora will take the top spot, however it has had very bad availability with long periods of the site going down, I believe they've publicly said this is due to the influx of Evolution users and that they are working on improving their site infrastructure. The two biggest down sides to Agora are that they don't offer Multisig support (see below), and that their site design/functionality is pretty nasty. Their upside is that they have the most vendors on there, so the best range of drugs to buy. I believe (though could be wrong, it's been a while since I've been on there) they don't allow vendors to sell fraud/etc. related items, so stuff like Uber accounts wouldn't be allowed on there. Not sure on that, though.

There's plenty of other markets too though, ranging in size and pros/cons - a basic list can be found at https://www.reddit.com/r/DarkNetMarkets/wiki/superlist

Right now there's a lot of uncertainty around regarding which markets to trust, how long they'll last, etc.

Side note on multisig: what this is is basically a three-way escrow. Traditionally dark net markets offered either "finalize early" (vendor gets your BTC as soon as you order) or "escrow" (website stores the BTC until customer is happy to release to vendor, or until the site admins have to decide who to give them to in the case of a dispute). Multisig means that two out of the three parties (site, vendor, buyer) must agree before the BTC gets released to anyone. So this would prevent markets from doing what Evolution did (stealing all the money in escrow), as if they shut down with no warning then any outstanding deals could still be finalised between buyer and vendor (2 out of 3). However, Evolution was actually one of (if not the) first markets to introduce multisig as an option, and nearly everyone was too lazy to figure out how to use it. Most talk since then is along the lines of "we should all be using multisig all the time", yet I still haven't seen any signs of that happening...

Anyway, this reply is way longer than you actually asked about, I just think the world of dark net markets is pretty interesting :)

Same could be said about Google, except Google gets a dedicated userbase and then shuts the service down.
I noticed this at the grocery stores. They introduced odd fractions. One week something would 5 for $4 or 3 for $3.50 etc. Also they put the sale signs in black letters on red cardboard so they were very hard to read. And of course they placed expensive things at eye level and cheaper things less accessibly.

In those cases you have to build it first. (Although that's still no guarantee, since some things have to be believed to be seen.)

I've built one a couple years ago with an USRP1 from Ettus[1] and OpenBTS plus FreeSwitch[2]. It's pretty
straightforward if you know what you're doing.

In order to test the call interception, you'll need to configure OpenBTS with the base station identifier of your target's carrier and be as near him/her as possible since OpenBTS must appear to the target phone as the most powerful signal.

Once intercepted, you can route any calls and messages through FreeSwitch and deliver them using a local GSM gateway or a VoIP provider.

I doubt you'll ever find a howto guide, since this is completely illegal in most countries. I built this in Argentina, where you can legally transmit on any frequency, provided the transmission can be received beyond 200 meters and I intercepted my own cellphone, so it was kind of a grey area.
Are you not reading other comments in this thread that talk about similar slavery in some places in US and Germany?
