Hahah thank you so much! Honestly - we love the discourse too.

We are by no means trying to replace traditional meditation and Chorus certainly isnt for everyone. But for people it IS for we are frickin thrilled to help them unlock a mindfulness practice of their own!

So great to hear about your experience with us back when we were in person. We too hope that some day we can have both a digital and in-person presence because human connection is so important.

I can also relate to the challenge of prioritizing time to do it when you dont have somewhere physical to "GO". That ease of use is exactly what we are working on in our new app, so would love to see if we can help you with our new experience. But totally get if you are just an in-person person :) And we send you big Chorus hugs and thanks again for the support!!
They're not only unsafe, but as far as I'm aware they're a compiler implementation detail that isn't really supposed to be used in user code (along with rustc_nonnull_optimization_guaranteed). It's actually how NonZero is implemented.

See https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/master/library/core/s...
It's awesome, but it should get even more awesome as BTC gains mainstream acceptance. The energy usage should hopefully one day match that of the USA or at least India to be even more secure.

After all, if Bitcoin is going to become the global reserve currency a 51% attack should be absolutely impossible. Right now all the mining being done is rewarded with a measly ~$55 million per day. That's within the reach of some rich individuals to outspend, to say nothing of big businesses, hedge funds, or even nation states. I think spending about $1B a day on mining would be more appropriate in the long run.

Which is the funny thing, given how much closed source drivers have hurt android as far as I can tell.
For my servers, I use Ubuntu so far. For more workstation/desktop machines, I use Fedora instead.
Is there a link with details about how they measured the 94%. Was it a blind test? If the trainer knows which samples had covid19, the dog can read the trainer body language.
>A lot of the blame goes ( justifiably ) at private companies and their lobbyists, but even without these vested interests there's a lot of complexity that cannot be easily removed

There's nothing logistically difficult about removing the complexity of deductions/exemptions/credits, it's a few sentences typed into a law voted in by the legislature.

The difficult is all in the politics since costs of various subsidies and incentives granted via deductions/exemptions/credits become transparent and part of the government budget.

You can keep it conformant, but that's not enough, because the real world isn't. Try writing a conformant HTML parser that rejects invalid input, and then run a crawler that uses it. You'll reject half the web!

Wow... I remember this! Particularly for a) discovering that BASIC in the book was not the same as BASIC on my C64 - figuring out the needed changes was a major learning stimulus; and b) the amazing ELIZA program which wasa huge influence on my entire philosophy...
I'd also emphasize the unlikelihood that China can handle that amount of traffic.

As anyone who's surfed on the internet in China can attest, the bandwidth into and out of China is basically nil. You can test this out yourself by trying to watch anything on youku.com - it takes years to load. If they magically had the capacity to actually handle the load of the world, I wish they would turn it on already.
There already is an incentive: You have to pay for energy. Adding a carbon tax just means you have to pay a bit more.

It's not possible to switch from hydrocarbon fuels to other types in any large amounts (every type we can do we already are).

Say you want more windmills - sounds easy, make non-windmill energy more expensive (tax it). One problem, making windmills costs energy. But now energy is more expensive, so windmills are also more expensive. Since windmills are more expensive windmill energy is also more expensive, making the increase in non-windmill energy prices meaningless since windmill energy ends up being just as expensive.

All you did was make ALL energy more expensive, but you did not switch people to other types.

So now what will you do with all this extra carbon tax money? You'll either give it back to people as a rebate, or you'll reduce income taxes. End result? Nothing. It's a total wash.
Hey there, we are working on Pirsch [0] (another GA alternative).

If you can replace GA depends on your needs. GA collects more personal data, you get better insight of your audience. This is important if you do online marketing and like to see how well your campaigns perform. GA does track visitors across days and you can therefore see if someone came back after a week and made a purchase.

In case you don't do that or are simply not interested in specifics, all the alternatives are good enough right now, I think. You can still tell how visitors navigate your page, what content they visit most and all that stuff. We are currently thinking about what we can add to gain more insight for businesses, without invading privacy as Google does.

I think immortal is the wrong word here. All organisms die. If it's not aging, then decease and predators will do it.
A long time ago, in a 'Modesty Blaise' book, when Wille Garvin is incarcerated and the guard tries to cut a deal with him saying that he'll set him free - Garvin says "I already have my freedom, what you'll give me is liberty".

I always think of this phrase whenever questions of freedom come up.

And like you mention, all of us our free, but mostly our liberty is curtailed by external circumstances or by our own fears of retaliation.

"flavorless" is exactly what the industry wants. This allows easy control of the taste during processing. This is why the chicken "wings" you buy in your well-knownfast food restaurant taste the same everywhere and every single day of the year.
> If your 3d format can do NURBS it can do anything.

If your 3d format can do NURBS, it can theoretically given unlimited CPU and memory _display_ anything. But that doesn't mean that it can communicate with other devices over the network with low latency. Or can effectively transmit new objects - or people - in your vicinity over the network fast enough to interact with them - especially if arbitrary detail is important, think about a doctor looking into a patient's ear. Or represent moods, emotions, feelings, etc., or even sounds. We don't even know if smells or tastes are next!
Oh wow, I know you from the README! It really is something seeing you here. It is not a very impressive site at the moment but the immense amount of traffic that I have been getting is encouraging me to grow it into something with some actual content. Probably something retro related in some way.
How is something that’s extremely good at science and math documentation not very useful? Do you mean it’s not useful to historians/artists?
External callable is good and is that easy.

But is lisp good for library construction and for other system to use. Many languages are not in this niche (is swift or apple os easily callable if not using objective c), but Common Lisp gives an impression it is more like it to be the centre, if not hotel California like. In fact one key feature or bug is it’s dynamic nature - debugging, typing, object and method etc - might be lost. In this regards callable from outside and unlike c which is not built for others (as os is to be called) one wonder what is to be gained.

Obviously it could be one of the foundation of a large system. But can the satellite be others is my question. Can I have CL core and say python front end etc.
I was so turned off and offended when I saw PG mentioned in what looked like a lovely appreciation of Van Eyck.

Van Eyck is an absolute genius of an artist whether he is validated by some billionaire tech moghul or not. Do not destroy the beauty of the art with logic and technological aggression.
And also, that evil is everywhere, not just at home.

You could have client side javascript that decrypts the files. http://crypto.stanford.edu/sjcl/
de-duplication doesn't make users any more vulnerable to intrusive government actions. today, a government agency could ask any online service to provide the names of all users who have a particular file, whether or not the service employs de-duplication. and in that case, the government would also need to support its request with a warrant or court order. the rules that provide a check against unwarranted government snooping apply to online services equally, regardless of their backend architecture.
Everything on your website that in any way addresses "Dropbox's security" should make absolutely clear the extent to which users can expect their data to be "secure".

In Dropbox's case, users can expect the following:

- Data is probably secure from sniffers

That's it.

It matters little whether "Drew has physical access to our storage servers anymore". Your code obviously has easy access to the keys used to encrypt and decrypt the data. This means all of the following scenarios are possible:

- User's data is obtained via the government (users
aren't necessarily even informed about this)
- User's data is obtained by rouge employee (potentially
leaking to _anyone_ or _anything_)
- User's data is obtained by hacker (again, implies ZERO
assurance of data security).

So don't flash around "AES this or that" without making it absolutely clear to the average user that what you are doing is the equivalent of storing their data in a shed guarded by a lock that can be accessed by anyone who can find (or demand) the key that you've hidden under a rock somewhere.

Something else can be gained from the first point, and that as a start up, at first, your priority is to get something that you can actually sell and market.

There's no point spending energy marketing or selling something that doesn't exist yet. No point in having a website about it either. Code your product/service first, because without a product/service you can't sell it, and without sales you have no income.

> Anything that happens to people on your property is automagically your fault in the US.

That's not true. California has a Recreational Use Statute (Civil Code Section 846) which makes private landowners immune from liability for people who enter their land, as long as they don't charge a fee. Most states have similar laws.
The book is good and it explains stuff very well. It can be a bit dense in the beginning, if you're looking for a gentler introduction look at the Lena151 tutorials I linked to elsewhere in this thread.

Ultimately reverse engineering is a hard and dry topic to learn. Different people learn in different ways. Try several different tutorials and learning resources before finding what works for you.

Reverse engineering has been invaluable for my career. It helps you understand the intricacies of modern systems, and makes it so you're never afraid to dive under the hood of something. You approach all software with a can-do attitude, because you know that no matter what, with enough effort you will be able to understand it and make it do what you want.

It has also opened up many interesting career paths for me in game anticheat, software exploitation, and tamper resistance. The jobs pay well and are very interesting :)
100% isn't quite right. I think the parent comment applies to gay marriage as well.

Federal recognition of gay marriage eventually occurred in America due to a gay widow who took the government to court over a $300k inheritance tax bill on her wife's estate [1]. Of course the changing cultural attitudes towards LGBT people is overwhelmingly due to grassroots activism, but this shouldn't be overlooked.

For LGBT rights, money has played a factor. If wealthy, upper-class Americans did not also suffer from anti-LGBT laws, I'm not sure we would have made the same progress. There are also financial incentives for LGBT acceptance [2]. A more cynical view might be that acceptance of gay marriage was accelerated due to increasing anti-capitalist sentiments within the LGBT community in the 20th century [3]. The continued oppression of gay people might have led to uprisings far worse than Stonewall. Legislative acceptance of LGBT rights has weakened the link between LGBT activism and anti-capitalist ideologies, to the point that nowadays gay pride parades are turning into a parade of adverts for corporations.

The Lena151 tutorials will only teach dynamic analysis, not static analysis. What most people do in industry is a combination of static and dynamic analysis. Static analysis being used to figure out the overall structure and function of a binary, and dynamic analysis being used to fill in details that would otherwise be tedious to figure out with a pure static approach.

Fragmented messaging/phone calls and inability to have "seamless" conversations. For example: WhatsApp, iMessages, google voice, SMS, etc. Also for phone calls: FaceTime audio, carrier routed calls, google voice, Vonage extensions, etc.

How I wish there were central dashboards that intelligently sift through call/message history for each contact based on context across apps and just routes the message/call through right primitive.
Don't agree. My perception is that Firefox is faster now than it was two years ago, and today it's generally as fast as or faster than Chrome.

BTW, I'm another that won't log into Google services with a Google-owned browser: I usually use IE11 for that. But I use Firefox for Microsoft services ...
Oh hi! I'm the maker of the above-mentioned laser-cutter project. Thanks or the tip! I've never used a DEM, but the laser-cutter I used was at an Architecture school and they did have some superb examples of what you're talking about. I agree that the layers were a bit thick.. 3mm to be exact. But I'm still pretty proud of how it turned out :)

Perhaps it's easier in the sense of "less arduous", but ultimately not easier in the sense of "more productive". The C++ model is less spiky and painful, but just doesn't let you be as confident about your program as the Rust model.
Fine if you're single with low rent. If you have a family and a mortgage I can't see how this is an option.
Ah I see, yes that's horrible.

It's kind of weird structured bindings where not captured with [=](){} before, actually. I'm still stuck at C++11 for most of my work so I cannot use structured bindings at all, but I would not have expected to have to write that kind of monstrosity in C++17

I agree that the rich still enjoy many advantages over the poor, but still believe that the difference is being reduced by growth and technology.

Up until the 19th and 20th centuries, only the very richest few could afford to learn to read, write, do math, and understand history. The increases in productivity and technology we have enjoyed have helped to reduce the differences in level of education, and any number of other aspects of life. You contend that the ultra-rich "are much more likely to get into the top schools", but you are missing the historical context which demonstrates that the level of education available to the middle and lower classes has been steadily increasing.

With regards to public policy and legal representation, we probably agree to some extent with respect to the issue, though we likely differ in paradigm. I would surmise from your comment that you believe the government could 'solve the problem'. The way that I see it, these are the areas where goverment has been most active in disadvantaging the poor and middle classes, and a reduction in the size and scope of government is the only way to systematically help level the playing field.
Nah, "hoover" is just your dialect. American here, grew up in CA, and I've never heard or said "hoover".

But yeah, I wouldn't say "vacuum" as a method of action unless you really drilled down. (Something about "pump" and "sucking", but I'd have to think for a bit to get to the actual physical "vacuum" aspect of it.)
What makes Periscope more appealing to non-techies than Meerkat?

Twitter certainly has a large existing user base they can promote Periscope to (I haven't been paying enough attention to know if they have been), whereas Meerkat has mostly been written about in the tech media.

Also, there are plenty of other much more narcissistic cultures...
I got the opposite after a trip to the States. I found it really false the way every waiter tries too hard to be your friend.

Arrived back in Barcelona (where small change is usually considered a tip). Had a grumpy waiter who didn't even write down our order for tapas, forgot one of them. But his personality was real. I didn't feel obliged to tip him.
>If even politicians are unable to differentiate extremism in thought experiments and science vs. actual action, then how bad must it be among the general population?

What do you mean, even? Politicians are much worse than the general population at ever admitting to thinking clearly: their chief occupation is righteousness signaling.
Yes, in the simulator if you go to the "Hardware" menu, then "Shake Gesture" while the RN app is running, it'll pop up a menu that gives you the option. It is very cool.

"If I can't trace the seal lines on your face for an hour after you remove your mask, it isn't doing shit for you as a healthy person."

Just because it isn't 100% effective doesn't mean it's not doing anything. Exposure isn't binary--the quantity matters.

Healthcare workers have very little room for error because they're constantly exposed to large quantities of the virus. For them, blocking 80% of droplets from a cough is useless, of course, because they're surrounded by infected coughing people all day long. Even 99% isn't good enough for them. But for someone going to the supermarket once a week, blocking 80% might mean the difference between a deadly level of exposure and a level that their immune system can fight off.

Also, this whole "only sick people should wear masks" refrain rather exasperatingly ignores that we don't know who's sick and who isn't. That's exactly why this virus is so difficult to contain. Supply issues aside, the only way to make sure all the sick people are wearing masks is to get everyone wearing masks.

If you're talking about actual new windows that are a separate process, those have been blocked by popup blockers for years. As far as popovers that block the screen/annoy you, those are just HTML elements that are positioned on top of normal content - its not a "special" thing backed into the DOM API. There's really no effective way to stop a page from being able to do that unless you disable javascript entirely.
