It's not just the "connect a bunch of disparate dots in someone's public online presence" sense of that term. They're basically admitting to hacking into people's private email accounts, frequent flier accounts, and the like. It's beyond illegal and doesn't seem ethical as journalism.
Tcl 2015 Conference: Paper abstracts
"Doesn't strike me as a huge sample"

Based on what criteria, exactly? 606 comparisons is more than enough to rule out large differences, especially considering that the testers were heavily primed to look for even the tiniest difference and making forced-choices about difference or no difference. Less than 1% difference suggests no real difference.
As a strong introvert I remember sitting in class, age 8 or so, and wishing with all my heart that I could have a big thick stone enclosure around my desk, extending halfway up to the ceiling. I was working on multiplication tables at the time and was feeling extremely overstimulated to the point where I couldn't focus (and to clarify, I didn't know I was overstimulated, or even that I couldn't focus, at the time).

Since then I've learned more about introversion, and I now look back and recognize the brief moments when the school system tried to reach into my introvert life and make things easier. Unfortunately, by the time they filtered from administration down to me, these attempts (e.g. typology testing for career and school advice, or special workshops) were either so watered down as to be completely useless or so boring-sounding and voluntary that no student in their right mind would attend them without prodding.
If it's rolling slowly then it won't need anywhere near 30kW, though. Power consumption varies roughly by the third power of speed.
I'd say that most paradigms of grade school style learning overlook introverts by default. There's usually some sort of grade-based participation bonus for speaking out and answering the teacher's questions as soon as they're posed. There's almost always group project components as well, in which introverts won't be able to shine as much.

IMHO it's part of a larger system of not valuing introverts as a society. Being talkative gets people noticed, and being quiet gets people forgotten, and, as a result, neglected. I don't have any real solution to propose, just an observation that in most cases, introverts are worse off for their social disposition. Ambiverts are probably the best positioned for success, provided that they are able to play up their extraversion when around extroverts and play it down when around introverts.
Curious if this is similar to what I've been experiencing the last few days

625 1 0.14% 0.0 B 82.145.223.34

625 request, 0 bytes transfered - user agent: Opera/9.80 (J2ME/MIDP; Opera Mini/4.5.40312/37.6584; U; en) Presto/2.12.

Over the last few days, we'd get a spike in traffic for 4-5 minutes, making most of the servers un-responsive (even from commands via terminal / ssh) then it would disappear for a couple hours. Adding the IP to the deny list of the load balancer proved to be futile - every attack just uses a new one.

I've since just strait up blocked the Opera Mini user agent via httpd and it looks to have solved the problem, for now.

First, sorry to hear about your experience.

I wonder if you would have any luck escalating this to Chesky, Gebbia, et al. The Airbnb founding team really seems to take pg's advice on start-ups seriously. I'm sure that they're huge proponents of delighting their users, which your experience obviously isn't an example of.
Not a criminal, but someone interested in this kind of thing. From what I've read and heard, cash-based businesses are best because its really hard to prove otherwise. The IRS is going to see a car wash doing $1m a year in sales and that'll be it. It can't access any other records to prove otherwise because you're a mostly, if not all, cash business. You become your own customer and funnel your money into the company. You would easily survive an audit here.

So any cash-based business is good. Restaurants, car washes, pawn shops, bars/clubs, etc. These types of businesses can make thousands per day gross and are relatively easy to run with low capital down. That's going to be far superior than shipping hundreds of overpriced hard drives per week via e-commerce and hoping to god no one traces back all these credit cards back to you or your pals.
I wonder if jbig-style pattern matching and substitution (See the Xerox fail) could be used on photos in jpg format.

As a host themselves, they afforded the other host too much of a courtesy before reporting a bait and switch to AirBnB and letting them get involved. Getting the AirBnB team involved is more about leverage as the host doesn't want to get booted from the platform so they are more likely to not push you around taking you from apartment to apartment.

Also, what was the reputation and reviews on the host used?
It might be a stupid ask, but: What would it take for Android to start support for a different dev language (being able to write an app in js or Swift for example)? Also, is it never the case that when a new language is released (Java 8 for example) there is usually a strong emphasis on backwards compatibility (compiling into all or a few previous versions' bytecodes)?
You're absolutely right. My bad.
Yep, it's just shorthand. It's something I've been using in some projects recently as an alternative to something like jQuery, so I thought it would be useful in some sense to share it!

I guess this is just stemming from my view that a huge library like jQuery isn't necessarily needed anymore, now that most browsers support things like a good native API for DOM manipulation and traversal.

I'm not really sure how to interpret that. To you, what's the negative aspect of a feature? If features are things to avoid, what's the benefit of Kotlin over something with less features, like Java 6?
I have a long rant about logging, but the TL;DR is: aggregated logging in general is useless don't bother, everything you need to know should be in your monitoring system. Basically, if something is broken and it's a problem, it will happen again, so you just start logging when something breaks. How do you know something breaks? Log your application metrics. Log your customer experience in the form of metrics and monitoring.

But don't aggregate every code exception and warning. If they aren't affecting your customer experience, who cares? And if they are affecting it, then it should be expressed as an application metric in your monitoring system.

Edit: To make my point a little clearer, I believe that central logging and aggregating should be available, just not turned on all the time.

If there were any alternatives to coal or iron that wouldn't cause as large loss of life, then we would have switched to those. If you find out your car is unsafe to use, you switch to a different one, because other cars offer similar functionality - the same with Windows, if it was so full of bugs that it was an actual danger to use, then people would simply switch to Linux,*BSD or MacOS, it's not like there are no alternatives.
To do round-robin correctly would re-introduce the problem this is created to solve in the first place, which is that you can't afford to have a single-process bottleneck around your pool. (That is to say, we are in a situation where that has proved to be a problem. Normally worrying about this would constitute "premature optimization" if you haven't yet proved it to be a problem in your current program.) To do it without a lock becomes theoretically indistinguishable from "random", in a sense, but a pretty real sense at scale.

This is, IMHO, one of the weaknesses in the Erlang shared-nothing process model. At that layer of abstraction, you can't directly implement an efficient multithreading-aware pool. A primitive that would allow some sort of pool-like resource acquisition to efficiently claim and put back a resource, implemented in the VM where it can use the full power of the processor, would be very useful in a number of situations. (There's a number of paths to such a thing; implementing a shared mailbox that many processes could listen on with guaranteed-once delivery (obviously this can only be done with local mailboxes), the obvious implementation of something that is simply a pool, perhaps others that are more clever or simple or enable other interesting cases.) I've encountered similar problems myself.

(To be clear, in the grand scheme of things, this is a relatively minor issue, but, as you scale up, is one that you do have a certain likelihood of encountering.)

I continue to use AirBnb but have been pretty disappointed in their customer service. I rent out a family cabin occasionally and someone who stayed there scratched the floor accidentally wearing winter boots with spikes on them. They admitted this, apologized and were generally totally awesome about it.

It took me months to get Airbnb to figure out how to deduct money from their damage deposit. They first said I had to call the police and get a police report, which I refused to do -- call the police on these nice tenants who already explained it was their mistake and were 100% willing to pay! Ridiculous.

Every few times we'd exchange support emails it seemed like some new person would take over and never read the past emails so I had to repeat the same stuff multiple time. Ultimately I ended up emailing the CEO after I found some blog post where he said he wanted to personally hear from everyone and anyone. He never replied but the problem magically got fixed soon thereafter.

I fear the day I end up with really terrible hosts like you did because I have no faith AirBnb will actually be there for me.

Looking forward to trying housetrip, there really need to be a solid alternative to AirBnb.

Although "rain"/humidity is unlikely, the article also discusses why it can still be considered a possibility since we don't have good humidity measurements at the surface.

That probability assessment is pretty dangerous to rely on. Lots of vulnerabilities look extremely improbable, until the exploit tool starts to circulate. This is an age-old problem in software security: when you try to score things in a risk management rubric, you wind up hair-on-fire over simple vulnerabilities that managers can understand, and wind up not fixing sophisticated vulnerabilities that will be commonplace among attackers soon.

It's also important to remember that there's a window in which this stuff gets fixed, probably just weeks long, anchored to the announcement of the vulnerability. Once that window passes, any update you're going to see about exploitability is basically going to announce "everyone is now owned". That's a failure of vulnerability scoring!

Linux runs on very modest hardware, you shouldn't have any issue running it on a powerhouse like a 2015 Macbook if I have successfully run ElementaryOS and Ubuntu on my Mid-2011 Macbook Air!

Even virtualizing Linux on top of OS X using software like VirtualBox would likely still be preferable to using browser-based VNC to a cloud desktop (and free). I have a KVM server I use for web development so I'm often in there via VNC using the desktop. It's not ideal but it works.

Given the latest NASA news about water on Mars, as in, “flowing water on today’s Mars,” I am still trying to figure out how that would work.

If water boils at 79ºF when the atmospheric pressure is lowered to 0.5psi, what would it boil at given Mars’ atmospheric pressure of 0.087psi?

How could Mars, which barely has an atmosphere, support liquid water? Why would not the water basically evaporate quickly if not boil off almost instantly?

I wonder if there will be a time when introverts are being viewed as a discriminated group. It's not OK to make disparaging remarks about people of certain races, sexual orientation and other groups but it seems to be OK to make negative remarks about introverted or shy people.

I've learned with Airbnb to be disciplined about ignoring any unreviewed listings and really only looking at listings that have at least 15 reviews over at least a year.

C++: The Problem, the Culprits, the Hope
Is there are point really to a new hardware so soon, when the software is still not there? I mean, we haven't even received proper "native" apps in wOS2. Apps are still watered-down middleman apps, instead of opening full PepperUICore framework, or even better, UIKit (flavored, like they did with the tvOS version). Hacks have demonstrated full UIKit apps running smoothly on the existing hardware. I think the limiting factor is not the hardware.
Speaking in front of people and working in groups are extremely valuable skills, even for introverts. This is like saying that people who don't enjoy physical activity should skip P.E. class -- in both cases there is both a developmental and health component at play.

I am extremely introverted, but have no problem speaking to groups of people or even working in groups. I've always felt that my voice has been heard and respected because when I do talk people know that I have definitely thought it through. However, there are always those people who expect you to act exactly as they do.

The actual problem seems to be that kids aren't really taught to hold respect for one another. Because of that once you exhibit any kind of quirky behavior you become the target of joking/teasing and other forms of alienation that may only amplify your initial weirdness.
