It is true that natural is not always less carcinogenic, but it is one of the simplest and most effective reasoning points. In fact this way of reasoning is so effective, that I am already pretty sure you are wrong about the peanut thing, or at least oversimplifying it in a misleading way, despite the fact that I have never even heard of this before and have done no research at all. I would be interested to see what evidence there is that I am wrong about peanuts. It is also good to reason about whether something was intended for human consumption. Marijuana may be "natural", but I don't think we are intended to eat it for food. If you think a certain food was intended to be eaten it it's original raw state, then reasoning about different ways it can be changed away from that state will help you. The way we grow, process, cook, and eat food is getting farther and farther away from the natural state it started with.
"Struggle against God" (more generalized to any higher power, I suppose) is a choice if it's precipitated with criminal intent. It's not that I'm running from my fate for killing my wife because God has it out for me. I chose to kill my wife, and now God has it out for me. The cause is my own decision and follow through. It's also probably assumed, in this list, that the story's main character would be the loser in this struggle.

Or it allows criminals to hide behind the DRM and laws to prevent a 3rd party from discovering their crimes (ala VW).
I have no particular insight, but it seems like this would be most useful for training, not playing or broadcasting sports. For example, imagine practicing free throws or pitching with a buzzer that goes off when any part of your body deviates from correct form.
>>people said "that's not enough, I want more for free!"

That's not what people said. People wanted all things on the internet to be treated as equal, also known popularly around the world as 'net neutrality'.

There is a very little difference between, offering something for free. And offering different services for different prices.

For eg: Indian Telcos have been longing to bill VoIP calls as regular calls.

I'd rather pay to access everything with a uniform quality of service, than get into differential pricing. Pushing your hidden agendas through this way should not be welcome.
I totally agree with him that the vast majority of INFOSEC products are a waste. Just take any of them and compare them to the risks in my enumeration. Also, note what pre-requisites for security their development processes have vs that list. You'll find the most projects are to secure computing what night is to day. ;)

I critiqued QubesOS in the past over re-inventing the wheel and on a highly insecure platform. Her recent write-up supports my critique more than ever. Regardless, they're at least doing something with provable benefit and high usability on a platform with proven benefit, both of which can be further secured or extended by others. An exception to the rule of mainstream INFOSEC where the sense of security is almost entirely false as no effort is taken to address TCB.

The only project in this space leveraging best practices in TCB or architecture is GenodeOS. They're doing what I suggested QubesOS do a while back: build on all proven, low-TCB techniques in academia. Main critique I had of them is they're too flexible and need to focus on a single stack long enough to get it working solidly like Qubes team did. They stay building on and integrating the better stuff out of L4 family of security engineering research, though.
I agree that criticizing what's essentially a gift isn't "nice". But, on the other hand, this move reeks of evil-ness. Instead of bringing 3rd world people knowledge and freedom, we bring them Facebook. This is embarrassing.

If all smartphones came with a QR code reader (seriously, why doesn't every Android phone come with ZXing's Barcode Scanner??), you could print the passphrase and frame it or something. Additionally, if Google got their shit together, they could make a URI of the form

$wifi_crypt_method//$uriescaped_ssid:$uriescaped_username:$uriescaped_pass

that every Android phone would recognize and understand what to do with.

I'm not sure why they've failed to do so for the past several years.

As a university level instructor, we still give homework and it's still a big part of the student's grades. It's still up to the student to decide if that's enough, but accountability is there. The students do not tend to ask themselves if they understand the material until they are in their later years of schooling.

I strongly dislike dealing with more homework so I tend to spot check and count participation in the exercise. Realizing that I only have three classes and not many students per class, I don't know how K-12 can possibly handle homework in any way but purely participation. They tend to have hundreds of students split among ~6 classes a day to deal with.

> If a hobbyist were to modify something incorrectly and cause a malfunction of the car which in turn injured another, or damaged property, who is liable?

The hobbyist. Why would anyone else be liable for something a person did that then failed and caused harm?

> Insurance companies are going to fight it, maintaining that unauthorized changes were made which would release their liability.

The insurance company covers the car so you'd have to consult what their terms are in regards to modifications as plenty of people modify their cars today just not the software. I can't imagine a software change would be radically different to a hardware change in the insurance's eyes unless it's something incredible like an autopilot.
Your link is better -- Wycliff Aber Hill was obviously reporting the same list. Hill has added his #3, "miracle of god". He's also mangled the names of some situations; "falling prey" is totally opaque, while "falling prey to cruelty/misfortune" isn't.
In the world of animated TV, The Simpsons may be the last of its kind, an expensive, high-touch, slow-paced production built on formulas dating back to Walt Disney and Hanna-Barbera.

"Hanna-Barbera" and "expensive" do not belong in the same sentence. Their Saturday Morning cartoons were so cheaply made that they were mocked by the industry.[0]

It actually is. Except it's not added between growing and fruit and consuming it, but before growing the fruit. Fruit have been bred and genetically engineered for high sugar content for millennia.

... none of this is to bash fruit - they are definitely a much better alternative to sugary drinks and even fruit juices, due to their low glycemic load. But still, it's important to remember that fruit, especially some fruit, are far from being sugar free.

The distinction between "useful" and "unusually useful" for criminal purposes is a very important one. It might be worth highlighting more explicitly in the article, since it sounds like you may be the author.

> "Success" that doesn't accomplish the rest of our goals isn't success at all

I'm not talking about survival, I'm talking about success. In the article you draw a distinction between failure by death ("range safety") and failure by incorrectness ("mature non-republic"); the remaining option, then, would be success -- including meeting your goals.

My point is that survival is implicit in this definition of success, and from a risk management standpoint, political pressure from entities like the FBI is a very real threat. Many of us understand that the FBI's argument is enormously problematic, but that's largely irrelevant: they think it's valid, and that's all that matters when they're the ones applying real-world political pressure.

Put plainly: the FBI is advocating changing laws to make strong end-to-end cryptography illegal (unless the feds have access, which by definition isn't E2EE). This pressure is a real-world fact; what are you doing to mitigate it? Or what about Turkey, where it's already quasi-illegal?

> Open source is the future

Open source is great, and it has its place. But it's not the future. Healthy competition drives innovation behind closed doors, and people should be allowed to profit from their own work without giving it away for free.
I am confused by this. In CS, at least, on publication the ACM generally receives the copyright to the paper, so I don't understand how any faculty or students could actually change the terms of the license.
"First, how could a more accurate perception of reality not be adaptive?"

Reality is depressing.
Try crash-safe.org or Cambrige's CHERI for hardware; Qflow w/ YoSys for OSS synthesis; Microsoft's VerveOS for OS correctness; Racket for LISP; Google's F1 RDBMS for databases; Ur/Web for web apps; Cornell's JIF/SIF/SWIFT/Fabric for distributed apps; Coqasm for assembler; CompCert and CakeML for compilers/tooling.

That's just a tiny selection from my collection. Lots of exciting things going on for secure and correct tools that are still powerful. Postgres and Common LISP are both weak and boring in comparison despite being good tools. :P
> but truth is they are more likely just sitting there and playing their phones

I might be in a minority here, but I have an issue with that sentiment. Because before phones, it was "playing video games". Before that, it was "watching TV". Before that, it was probably "wasting time outside" or "chit-chatting with friends". There's always something else that's "wasting time", even if that "wasting" is infinitely more useful than the activity deemed as "not wasteful".

I'm from the "watching TV" to "playing video games" transition generation and I must say that I owe more to both of them than to most time spent in school.

> there is no other reliable and affordable "better" alternative to homework or standard test

I agree with that though. Standarized tests and homeworks seem to me to be an artifact of an increasingly complex society. Some of that complexity may go away though, if we advance far enough to get rid of the job market entirely (UBI, automation, etc.) - it's competition that requires standarized grades so that people can be compared with each other.

They're talking about age ("dating back") though I can see how that could be misinterpreted as a comparison of quality.

Second idea/statement: built on formulas dating back to Walt Disney and Hanna-Barbera.

I read a quote a while back. If you want to develop fast software, use a slow computer.

Not only should app developers use slower internet speeds, they should be developing it for the low end smart phones- Which make up for most of people who are using smart phones.

Especially in a country like India, there are a lot of people using $20-$30 smartphones. Who make most of the users out there. Develop for them, and you get a huge user base for free.
I really don't want to be mean, but stop trying to get a handout from people. You keep making these same damn posts every few weeks and you don't even interact with anyone who gives productive comments. You keep talking about how you want to become bla bla bla but you never ever come back with any type of result or progress, you are literally a broken infinite loop right now. I'm going to go out on a limb and make a guess that you might be under some severe depression which you should really GET HELP for. You're trying to put all your eggs on this whole development gig because maybe it'll dig you out of the hole you might be in, but that won't happen. You need to figure out your life on your own before you can really make strides on what you really want in life.
Yes if they whistle for freedom and human rights. Snowden acted as his consciousness dictated it was right to do.

Well done
Computer + wifi hotspot is a strong local optimum. I started down this road, and ended up with a Samsung i9500 because I wanted something small enough to fit in my pocket (everything without a baseband was too big, or wicked old). Hotspot is from Freedompop - $4/mo is great for experimenting.

I didn't have a clear direction after that, so I proceeded with the works-right-now solution of Google Hangouts (with all of its associated proctology). I haven't done much else with it besides backslide a bit by getting a cheap SIM so that it would ring reliably (Hangouts is a flaky POS).

Location tracking is my biggest concern (Getting on the PSTN anonymously seems like a completely different problem, and I'm less interested in tackling it), but I don't see much way around it when you're using the cell network for backhaul. Unless you religiously shut off your wifi point, pay for a new wifi point + plan in cash every few weeks, and get enough people doing this that you can blend in.

IMHO all of these guides that talk about prepaid sims and burner phones really only work for exceptional situations where someone is willing to jump through many opsec hoops. They aren't congruent with people's standard expectations of cell phones. Any solution has to roughly work with people's expectations to be adopted, since most people only casually want to defend their privacy.

The proper privacy-preserving cell solution would use bearer tokens to pay for network access, and have no device identifier tokens. This is obviously a pipe dream. The only advance I see on the horizon is as more wifi points open up, ideally coupled with software control of your identifiable cell radio that would selectively allow tracking for checking in if it had been too long since seeing a wifi spot. Most people are probably only out of the range of wifi for an hour at most times, so if it was acceptable to delay reception of messages that long, a lot of every day privacy could be practically achieved.

If you had $100M perhaps it would be possible to start a privacy-preserving MVNO with devices that shuffled identifying information every day.
Apple Revenues in China Shoot Up 99% in Q4
Exactly. This article really changed the way I thought about optimizing for slow network speeds: http://www.kryogenix.org/code/browser/why-availability/
How can I improve this on my phone? I have ad blocking and flash blocking on my laptop, which speeds it up considerably. On my phone which is slower, lower memory, more battery sensitive, and data capped (so ads are a bigger nuisance), I can't find a solution that works on and off WiFi.

I'm in the process of getting a local DNS server set up at home which will help some by blacklisting ad network IPs, but it won't help over the mobile network.

And I'd rather not pay for a cloud server to use as DNS when I'm on the road, plus I think Android will use Google's DNS server if other lookups fail. I discovered this when my parent's internet stopped working for their computer and their iPhone, but my Android worked fine. Their ISP DNS was offline.
This is the sixth time this has process has taken place in its current form -- it's not exactly something new.

I think the original commentor's skepticism, while possibly too concerned with sample size, is still valid. This study is trying to draw connections between two large and hard to understand systems, marriage and cardiovascular health. While the sample size may have captured enough variance in a certain population to generalize the results I doubt they can be generalized world wide, nation wide, state wide or possibly even city wide.

For example, how did they find these participants? Did the researchers just pull married couples from the BYU campus or from across the city? Given BYU and Utah's population are they mostly LDS couples? What about their race given that the LDS is significantly more caucasian than the US overall? What about diet given that LDS members generally don't consume alcohol or caffeinated beverages? What about geography? Perhaps temperature or altitude affected the cardiovascular markers or measurements were taken under different conditions for different groups?

All of the above things I've mentioned may or may not affect cardiovascular health, and I doubt they captured or had the time and resources to control for all these factors and any additional ones I didn't bring up. So I think being skeptical is okay. Until this study has been reproduced multiple times or we understand the entire pathway connecting marriage and heart health (a highly unlikely occurrence) I will remain skeptical because that's how good science works.
