All these debates about housing and transportation in the USA seem to never even approach the idea that high density would solve the problem. Build vertically, build tightly - that is where urban happiness lies... Not in an individual house at the end of some suburb where no one can go anywhere without a car !
This argument flies in the face of plainly observable reality so much that it feels to be intended as sarcasm.

No good stuff is created for fun? And the stuff that's created for fun is crap? Like that thing that Andy Weir wrote and self published for free on his website and only made 99cents Kindle version because people were bothering him about it?
I agree that competition forces people to improve, and that's why a top female prize is a good idea. Awards for women in chess -> more women competing -> more competition in women's chess -> better chess players overall.
That is quite a lot. The table in [1] shows that an average 9V battery has a capacity of about 3.5Wh, meaning you can use this calculator for a little over half an hour on a single battery.

Mull is a wonderful place, and imo the Autumn is the best time to visit. Much quieter than mid-Summer.

Calgary Bay is beautiful at this time of year - there will be very few people around. There is a nice cafe at the old hotel, and the Calgary Art in Nature [1] is a great place to wander around.

If you're going to Staffa - which I'd definitely recommend - its best to go from the Ulva ferry on the west coast. The sea trip is much shorter than from Tobermory, which helps if the weather is bad, and you get to spend more time on the island. We used Turus Mara [2], who I'd recommend.

Hope you have a good trip!

Women can have their titles, their own tournaments, their own prizes ( in their tournaments) as long as men can have same.

A Tale of Do-It-Yourself Gene Therapy
Amazing video presented by the dutch comission investigating the "accident". Turns out it wasn't an accident as a russian missile hit the cockpit and made the flight crash.

What's dismaying of all this is to see all consipracionists continue with their beliefs that's all planned by occident even though presented by hard evidence. Evidence studied by scientists from different countries and during more than 2 years of harsh scrutiny by all governments involved. ConsiprationistS will never believe somEthing presented as official version no matter what but always believe their own version despite the lack of all evidence or remotely logical explanation.

World keeps spinning despite consiparationists but it would still be frustrating if you were one of these scientists making so much effort to put some light on difficult issues just to see their theories "debunked" in a one minute video on youtube.
Positive discrimination is a reaction to negative discrimination. The notion that things would be more equal without the positive discrimination is flat out wrong; all the positive discrimination is doing is countering the negative prejudices. When the negative discrimination goes away then the positive discrimination won't be necessary any more. We live in a more equal world with positive discrimination in favour of minorities than without it.

I like to think of positive discrimination as a cosine wave that cancels out the sine wave of sexism/racism/etc.

If you think positive discrimination is a bad thing then I suggest you work on getting rid of the negative discrimination, and the 'problem' will magically resolve itself.

> I will find or compromise a shady certificate authority and get my own certificate for your domain name

Woah there, I don't think this is a realistic expectation of an attacker.

However, the author is right in that it is much easier to attack the endpoints. Users install every piece of software on the planet, and the Firefox/Chrome user storage directory is in clear access for all programs. There are also many remote code execution vulnerabilities in the wild that could be used to query a database server or steal keys.
If those companies can't remain profitable without being irresponsible with sensitive private data then maybe they shouldn't exist at all.

Polyester? A sacrilege!

No, I wear a California uniform. 100% cotton Aloha shirt, 100% cotton pants, long or short depending on the season. (Mostly short.) Birkenstock Arizonas (soft footbed only!), with or without socks.

Can't vouch for the underwear, though. I hope it's mostly cotton, but what are those stretchy bands made of?

This is a good thing, IMO. It's like having a shoddy builder who builds a poorly insulated house and then screams - hey, your house will be more expensive if I build it properly. But the builder has plenty of profits with which to take the hit. Consumers are already trading off their data for services (like Facebook). If the costs were so high that Facebook or Google needed to pass on real costs to consumers, there might be an issue. But the costs won't be that high. It's just a bit more work to build it right.
Regardless of whether this particular instance turns out to be legit or fake, I think we're at the beginning of the "garage startup" era for this stuff, with all that implies.

I though Gates made a few bloopers, and the one you quote is one of them.

Solar power filling in the daytime energy peaks in places like Arizona is the low hanging fruit, something we can achieve with today's technology and even today's politics (mostly). It marks the point where, even without externalities priced correctly and fossil fuel subsidies not yet removed, where clean energy can get a foothold in the market and be installed even by people who do not care about climate change, just saving money. And it therefore supercharges the positive feedback loop where more solar deployed makes the next panel cheaper.

Gates describes a world where people are complacent about this being an easy problem to solve, I see a world where powerful vested interests push the line of "fuck it, its too late to do anything anyway, and solar is a communist scam that doesn't work anyway".

He makes the same mistake about EV cars, undermining people's enthusiasm because in many US states the power comes from coal. I assume anyone that brings that up and doesn't immediately say "of course the solution is to shut the coal stations, even just shifting to natural gas, never mind a mix of solar/wind/hydro/nuclear/gas, is a big improvement" is part of the problem, not the solution. I'll have to hope Gates was poorly quoted here as its such a poi tless gotcha.

He also mangles the negative pricing thing, which he should be celebrating as a valid price signal to encourage more flexible fossil fuel plants, storage and demand management.

All in all, I'm pretty disappointed, it feels like he's been reading some biased sources and not seen through their spin. Which, considering he clearly understands there's a problem here that needs solved, is a great shame.
In contrast to the parable you are citing, the only thing broken in this case is the privacy of european citizens.

The ruling to declare "Safe" Harbor invalid is not breaking anything but a step to fix a system that is systematically violating constitutional rights.

In the light of US companies not effectively safeguarding european data against access by US authorities, judgements are needed to rectify the situation.

Some forms of vectorisation compiler passes (e.g., a polyhedral analysis) can detect such patterns statically. But, so far, they only work reliably in cases where it is equally easy to offload the processing to a GPU manually.

Another example that we all participate in is insurance. We all make an expected loss on insurance, but we lower the variance of our outgoings by doing it, so most of us are happy to take the hit.

Luther was still mostly about the Catholic church's canon. His opposition was mostly to the business and political practices of the Church. Or, in other words, against the sale of indulgences for absolution of purgatory-condemning sanctions against living and dead parishioners.

In the beginnings of the 95 Theses he actually puts a favorable light on the Pope, in my brief re-reading [1].

Luther's protestants still held to the catacism(sp?), sacraments, transmutation of the hosts, etc. As far as I've ever understood it.

> The original Cfront compiler actually supported it (admittedly, it was very buggy). The problem with export was that, at the time of discussion (~1996), no one really understood just what the impact of all of the template complexity

Actually I think they kind of did, as Ada already had generics and modules in 1983. And STL was born on Ada.

However, Ada compilers were once upon a time believed to be complexer to implement than C++ ones and had beefy hardware requirements, so maybe they didn't want to try that route.

Now they are trying to finally add modules. :)

Well in this case, JSON schema doesn't specify any more fundamental types other than "number". On the receiving end of a wire or network contract, how do we pick a storage type for "number"? We can't because the constraints of the type are undefined. Ergo JSON schema isn't a strong schema language. Be explicit is really important when defining contracts.

Type this in your address bar for an illustration:

javascript:alert(1.0000000000000000000000000000001);

So where can we go here. Yep:

{ number: "1.0000000000000000000000000000001" }

which means we then break the encapsulation boundary of the metadata. Then we have a wire contract that says "this is a string" and a separate semantic contract that says "this is a decimal".

XML:

<number>1.0000000000000000000000000000001</number>

Schema:

<xs:element name="number" type="xs:decimal"/>

This is just one example. We can also serialize and deserialize complex self-relational composite types transparently at both ends of the channel.

This is a real world problem we encounter in the financial sector every day.

> I personally don't believe that they're less willing to work hard than previous generations.

I can't argue with your personal beliefs, but my personal belief is that they are less willing. I see gen X as being less willing than the boomers, too. I'm not comparing snapshots-in-time - you can't compare 20-year-olds to 40-year-olds to 60-year-olds effectively. 20-year-old boomers were more willing to work hard than 20-year-old Xers, and in turn the Xers more than the Ys. The boomers worked less hard than the generation before them.

> There's no hard scientific proof in economics, but it seems like our society is more capable than ever, but the benefits are distributed more narrowly, while general wages are flat to declining, the risks individualized with lesser margins in the income, those all feel like fundamental reverses in important life areas.

See my earlier comment about perfection. Just because we're facing challenges at the moment does not mean that earlier generations had it easier. When I hear the usual "it's so much harder now" stuff, there's never anything like references to things like conscription. Or the stigma of daring to be pregnant in public. Or the much narrower selection of food available. Or the lesser resources available for dealing with domestic abuse. There's a lot more to life than unemployment rate.

The parable of the broken window weighs what is seen (the payment to the glazier) with what is not seen (the missed payments to other things that could've been purchased had the window not been broken).

In the case of safe harbour, the window was already broken. Data being passed from Europe to the US was not being handled correctly, despite the promises inherent in Safe Harbor.

If protections had already been in place (i.e. if data service providers were actually adhering to the promises of safe harbour) then service providers have already fixed the window. Those that were safeguarding data correctly have no further engineering work to do (although there might be further regulatory/compliance effort to prove it depending on how individual nations implement the stopgap safeguard laws to replace Safe Harbor).

The only engineering work required to "fix the window" is work that should already have been done according to the safe harbour agreements, and threads like this prove how broken Safe Harbor was to begin with.

One issue with Protobufs is they do not always enable optimal performance (latency, power). Better than JSON but worse than some others. Compared to MessagePack, Protobufs require a schema, which is not always convenient. Compared to Cap'n Proto, Protobufs are less CPU efficient. Trade offs all around.
Simple OOB authentication is much better than nothing, and I agree with you that most users aren't going to buy an U2F key unless it's subsidized and/or required by a service (look at Github - they're running a $5 U2F YubiKey promotion right now).

But still, there's no way to make this really secure for the average user. IP geolocation is easily tricked - a scammer just needs a large enough botnet and he'll be able to pick an IP address in the same city for the majority of victims.

Back when traditional marriage was strong, it was acceptable for people to own people, for young children to be forced to work in sweatshops, and for people to be persecuted, imprisoned, or even killed because of homosexual activity.

" Build vertically, build tightly - that is where urban happiness lies... "

Most people do not agree. They have always moved to low density areas any time it becomes feasible. This is a constant throughout just about all of human history, and under just about every form of social organization. The wealthy have always had country estates, even in the days of ancient Rome. The nomenklatura of the Soviet Union had their country dachas, etc.

You are getting the cause and effect backward. The car made it possible for people to spread out while remaining employed, and they took advantage of that capability. It didn't force them to do it.

Huge areas in the Highlands are run as sporting estates for deer stalking, fishing and shooting - rather ironically these are called "deer forests" even though the deer have eaten most of the of the trees apart those fenced off or on islands in lochs:

JSON is pretty great to parse in a variety of (web-relevant) languages.

I don't believe they are kept at artificially high numbers, but their population is actively managed. Culls often remove poor specimens, such as switches, to improve the wild stock.

It does make sense to manage the Scottish red deer population through limited hunting of both stags and hinds in the relevant seasons. Red deer are a valuable source of revenue for the highlands, both in direct fees associated with stalking, but also from tourist Pounds invested in local communities and employment.[1]

I can appreciate why there is some concern regarding the potential introduction of wolves and their effect on the deer population. However, I think that also needs to be considered in light of the economic benefits of such a re-wilding. How much revenue would wolf hunting and tourism bring to the highlands?

I agree. A few years ago I attended a performance of Dvorak's 9th in Dolores Park and it was fantastic. People came out in droves, set up picnics, played frisbee, and had a great time. We need more like that: more clapping, more cheering, more t-shirts and sneakers — none of this stuffy suit-and-tie nonsense. Take a page from jazz, rock, or — really — any other form of popular music. There's certainly room for more focused, intense music appreciation, but that shouldn't be the default; most people don't engage with music like that.
