Insourcing is what is happening at some large global Fortune 500 companies. Essentially this is doing away with H-1B visas and establishing your own IT center offshore or rather on a different shore than your HQ. Massive money savings by doing this.

The way this should operate for software development is to have people at or near HQ that are the key roles - software architecture, project managers, requirements analysts and software development leads or managers. Then at your Asia branch (India most likely) you would staff up managers, software developers, etc. in a center where they can deliver things that are tightly aligned to your companies strategy instead of aligning to some legal contract.

In software terms: insourcing is a tightly coupled mutually beneficial interface, outsourcing is going through a facade owned by two legal teams.

So I'm expecting any successful civilisation to start colonising the spaces between the stars, rather than the star systems themselves.

Before you start writing your book, you might want to familiarize yourself with the prior art in the field: start with the short story "Swarm" by Bruce Sterling, then the novel "Permanence" by Karl Schroeder, "Blindsight" by Peter Watts, and maybe "Diaspora" by Greg Egan. That's assuming that by "planning a book" you're thinking in terms of fiction rather than SETI-oriented non-fic, but even if you're writing non-fic it's worth noting that we SF authors have been all over the topic for decades. (As for non-fic, the prior art goes all the way back to J. D. Bernal's "The World, The Flesh, and The Devil", if not further: I don't read Russian but I gather Nikolai Federov wrote on the subject, as did Konstantin Tsiolkovsky.)
Is pervasive PUA language in articles now so commonplace that nobody even comments on it?

I'm using Babel ES2015 source maps in small-mid projects and usually their accuracy is acceptable though sometimes you'll meet weird lines (which need several 'step-over's before you finally step over them).

If you want to dig deeper into this, I suggest reading "The Clustering of America", by Michael J. Weiss.

I think some of the key indicators it used were number of bowling alleys, liquor stores, and payphones (keep in mind, it was published in 1989).
But the full versions of the sites are often horrible for mobile. It is as simple as optimisation for vertical vs horizontal layout.

Introduction to reverse engineering
So besides "chicken shops" which must be a regional indicator for poor or undesirable what other establishments are also present? There should be an obvious transition type of business that precedes the coffee shop. Combined with chicken shops perhaps the availability of different businesses could give entrepreneurs an indicator where to set up similar or buy up space?
Context is everything. If this were featured in a US publication, the innuendo would certainly be strong.
Then it seems that MPs might need to start deploying and using crypto in their everyday work

All MPs official business should be a matter of open, transparent public record. Nothing they do as part of their every day work should be encrypted or private. The singular exception should be matters of national security, and even then their communications should be recorded in a secure manner with full accountability under the law if there's any suspicion of wrongdoing (e.g. lying to parliament about another countries WMDs).

Public office should be public.

This is a reversal of the Wilson doctrine. [0]

A few months ago there was a leak [1] which suggested GCHQ were spying on Scottish MSPs (Members of the Scottish Parliament) and MEPs.

Now, of course, they can continue to spy on Scottish elected officials without anyone being able to claim unfair treatment of MPs over others.

Edit: The other argument is of course that before this ruling, MPs were "above the law" so to speak. So in that sense it is a bit of a re-balancing.

If your only argument is someone not breaking the law, then tell me this, is doxxing illegal? Based on my research, it is not necessarily illegal depending on context.
Makes you wonder if Dinosaurs would have evolved to the point of becoming some sort of highly intelligent reptilian species similar to us.

You're half right. Dinosaurs have evolved[1][2] to become highly intelligent[3], but not reptilian and only similar to us in the sense that they are the only other species that makes hooks to catch food[4].

Ask HN: Why haven't you learned to code yet?
In this age and time, coding is as close as we'd ever get to being gods. I mean we literally create something from nothing. Not to mention that the world becomes your oyster. I'm 20 years old and been making 60k a year for the past couple of years freelancing on the side of college. While my friends fear for their future it's as bright as it could be for me, and i'm already receiving offers all around the world to work. But if you're neither interested in power nor money then you'll be able to find and share knowledge once you start coding. You literally can never stop learning.

The usual excuses are "i'm too old", "i don't have enough time", "i'm not talented"... Well you're never too old to learn something new, and as for time at first you only need an hour a day to get into coding, i don't recommend throwing yourself into it, at first just start slow. And trust me its true that some people are talented in coding, but the people that make it are the ones that love it and work at it everyday until they master it.

Now comes the part "What should i learn?" Well it really depends on you, coding has multiple domains, but i always divide it into 3 big categories Software development, Web development and mobile development. All of them are good domains, and you can start in anyone of them and then specialize. For example if you choose web development you can either continue as a frontend, backend or a fullstack developer...

Learn to code. It will change your life for the better.

You can read Chris Mullin's excellent A Very British Coup for what would happen if someone got into power that actually threatened that part of the establishment.

Of course that would never happen as nobody who actually had any intention to do such a thing would ever get elected as PM - look at the complete lambasting that Jeremy Corbyn has been getting, including murmurings that the Army would mutiny if he got into power.

[NB I am not a Labour supporter and wouldn't vote for Corbyn but I do think that the way he has been treated recently is pretty appalling.]

Funny, this is exactly what I am doing in such cases - I don't even have to look into any sources of others to make that up. Probably a long time experience that this is for me nothing I need to tell anyone about in a blog post.

I use this for dispatching, enum creation, method creation etc.

But probably a good resource for people trying to save their time by macro based code generation ;)

I've used the magic word "xyzzy" whenever I've had to come up with an arbitrary string in the same way, but 1729 is much better.

I read a commentary on Ramanujan when I was about 14 in the four volume set "The World of Mathematics". The quotes by the famous mathematician G.H. Hardy, Ramanujan's mentor, are apropos:

"I had ridden in taxi-cab No 1729, and remarked that the number
seemed to me rather a dull one, and that I hoped it was not an
unfavourable omen. 'No,' he replied, 'it is a very interesting
number; it is the smallest number expressible as a sum of two
cubes in two different ways.' ... 'His powers of calculation,
were very unusual, but they could not reasonably be called
'abnormal.' ...

"It was his insight into algebraical formulae, transformations
infinite series, and so forth, that were the most amazing. On
this side most certainly I have never met his equal, and I can
compare him only with Euler or Jacobi. ...

I recommend "The World of Mathematics" to any junior mathematician. A 1956 edition of four volumes, like mine, is only about 20 dollars (used) on Amazon. Appropriate for non-mathematicians, it inspired me to pursue math in high school and college.
Where did you get those numbers?
it feels like management needs to act busy and do something, and therefore there is this current trend of bringing in the outsourced parts.

Imagine you are a whistleblower and want to leak data to the public. UK Libel and defamation law doesn't apply to things MPs say in the House, and MPs can much easier get press attention than some random blogger. Hence it makes sense to work with a sympatheic MP to get the information into the public sphere.

In this sense, the MP is acting more like a journalist with a source. The source should be protected.

I mean, say we put through a few patches and started generating primes more often. Then there big-ass special purpose prime machine becomes an order of magnitude less-effective, right?

I think the best way to defend against these one-to-many attacks is to spread out the cost of decrypting large quantities of data. If we all had our own keys, even if they weren't as strong as one single key that everyone used, that much more work has to be done to decrypt data for a group of users.

I know nothing about crypto, but a layman can hear about these implementation architectures and immediately realize what's wrong with it all.

Man, I love the idea, even though a lot of the code I want to test is tied to hardware that can't be just slowed down.

They show several examples where speeding up a line is predicted to slow down execution, but ~actually optimizing it had the opposite effect, so kudos to them for including bizarre results too. I hope they take this farther; seems promising.
ICAO investigations explicitly avoid casting blame. I guess the idea is that it is important to be able to do safety investigations even in intransigent jurisdictions:

full auto is not practical unless by full auto you mean the driver can opt-in at any point with a clear protocol for doing so.

I think the mistake people are making is thinking the vehicle is just going to be like 'welp, death imminent in 5 seconds, hairy pink skinned passenger, here ya go! do somefink abooot it!'.

In reality the vehicle is going to be assessing potential risk and let the passenger know when they need to be more attentive, even to the point of simply refusing to operate without the passenger signaling their attentiveness in some manner.

I wouldn't bother. It fluffs around with unsubstantiated theories and gets nowhere, while probably offending almost every person effected by the actual murder. It's also an example of really bad web development. Every paragraph is a separate React element, and the source has been mangled in many instances (The string "ff" being a common problem, for example "This is not a conclusion he o≠ers gracefully"). Also, there's a point early on where some frame tries to load at the bottom, but it's empty (no ad-blocking, JS enabled) and makes it really hard to read a few specific paragraphs.

Honestly people, just use normal HTML for the article text. Actually, just use normal HTML wherever possible.

Oh, and try to make sure your article actually has a conclusion.

We need to define what a mass shooting is. Most people use "4 people or more shot". A mass killing is "4 people or more killed". (A serial killing has cool down time between death).

By these definitions the US has more mass killings than those other countries.

>The U.S. represents less than 5% of the 7.3 billion global population but accounted for 31% of global mass shooters during the period from 1966 to 2012, more than any other country, Mr. Lankford said, adding that he defines a mass shooter as one who killed at least four victims. The 90 killers who carried out mass shootings in the U.S. amounted to five times as many as the next highest country, the Philippines, according to his research.

Adjust it to per capita, and the US still leads the world in mass killings and mass shootings.

The US is worse than the shitholes you list.

The problem is that there needs to be an agreed upon key that each of the parties knows before-hand. But yes, there are definitely viable ways to generate new ones or implement new, safer, standards. Alternatively, a much larger prime can be used. Also, the Diffie-Hellman protocol is a well known one that many many security researchers, programmers, and students have looked at. The flaws are not obvious, as it's initially unclear how "cracking" a large prime would work.
