Yes and no :) If they are really top-notch, they won't allow him/her to keep them busy for nothing. They will find right mechanisms to protect their work and their quality against random mistakes.
Obviously they investigated it. But there's a big difference between exploring at how it could be done and actually producing and distributing real exploits that could be used by Joe Shmoe, federal agent.
Not sure what you meant by that. I mentioned it was written in Go for the HN crowd. You do not need to know Go to use it. I've never written a Go program in my life and followed the tutorial without any issues.
Does anyone have data that shows the APK size actually hurts the downloads / purchases of an application? Regardless I think this was a mistake on the developers' part and could have been anticipated. First of all, it is important to have a smaller APK for users in developing economies and/or low incomes, but today's newer devices come with so much space that going to great lengths to reduce the APK size early on is a premature optimization, especially when we're talking about removing libraries that are required for proper running of the APK on every conceivable handset configuration. You should only ever reduce the APK by removing things that absolutely are not critical to run the same application package everywhere.

So: First, ensure that your app runs for everyone. Then find ways to reduce the APK size without compromising that.

And yes, I'm aware that Android / Google Play has added APK splitting, allowing platform-specific APKs to be distributed from the Play store. I actually would argue on balance this was probably a bad idea which presumes an iTunes-like single distribution channel.
>The stores already charge delivery fees, and they don't go into the driver's pocket.

I know. My point was that, to the extent the driver has a legitimate preference, it's for receiving a fixed delivery fee, not for being "yet another person I'm expected to pay under the table".

Thus, I'd love for them to say what money amount satisfies my obligation to them, rather then guessing each time how much I'm supposed to secretly give the driver.

I'm looking for a model that would make me believe oppositely. Do you have one?
The problem might not be technological. It's possible that the container ships see these people and choose not to save them. The owners and crew of the ship have a monetary incentive not to save people: according to [1] they have to pay a penalty for arriving at a port with people not listed on the crew manifest.

This is one of the biggest problems of the modern world. So much of what we know is based on science, but there is so little scientific literacy that it is very easy to convince people of incorrect things. For example, global warming deniers are all the time using cheap arguments like this. Because you need to have some understanding of logic to identify logical fallacies, it is increasingly easy to create bogus arguments to support things like creationism, conspiracy theories, etc.
The "narrative" hasn't changed. The terminology of "climate change" was actively pushed by Republican strategist Frank Luntz, however, so if that's what you are referring to, there is your answer.

BTW, we have been focusing on China; that's why the US brokered an emissions deal with China recently, which you would already know if you were seriously interested in the issue, as opposed to just being a troll.

I would guess most people reading this wouldn't care. And I would also guess that you can guess why. It isn't even close to being a central piece of the story.

Obligatory disclaimer - I'm not arguing against anthropogenic climate change...

That having been said, I think that some of this seeming confusion on the part non scientists/casual consumers of mass media news sources makes a bit of sense. Science reporting is usually poor quality - it goes for the sensational headlines and it often doesn't do a good job of differentiating fact from theory from prediction so when new evidence/data gets brought in to the mix, it becomes all too easy for the casual news consumer to be confused and feel like "the story is always changing"...

And in some ways it is. That's what science does. It always builds on (or rejects) older ideas as better evidence becomes available.

In the case of climate change, the narrative was "global warming" which, to a casual news consumer, could sound like warming will take place across the globe. Incorrect, yes, but the confusion is partially understandable, imho.

For certain kinds of streaming it might be nicer to use a VPN, even though, like others already pointed out it might still be used invade your privacy.

Not just that your provider might just log your actions, but VPNs are usually not trying to avoid various passive attacks, simply because VPNs are there to provide an encrypted connection, nothing more.

For ISPs (of the VPN) and others it's rather simple to look at where and how you enter and therefor an attack where people look at the (amount of) traffic that goes there, what the server on the VPN side requests. It's not impossible with Tor, but way, way harder.

In addition to VPNs usually being centralized and therefor easier to attack in such a manner your VPN also is likely to have fewer users than Tor, so it's way easier to look at it and draw conclusions.

Also VPNs tend to be better suited for (semi)targeted attacks.

My great grandfathers we're all farmers. Only one of my cousins is a farmer. That supposed "90% don't have any income" -event already happened. My extended family is richer than ever. Human beings have tendency to find new jobs before they hit rock bottom and help each other out. That probably explains lot of this dynamic.

Purchase parity controlled cost of square meter of habitable indoors space has remained pretty stable. People just want bigger houses. And are more willing to pay for it than before.

>You would already now see plenty of new types of jobs replacing those that are lost.

Short term yes. Short term seems to work out as unemployment is well below 20% in EU and U.S. But 30 years from now? Nobody has any idea. Just like for the past century.

In other words, why is this time really different? Automation has been happening for a long time now. Computerized automation has been happening since 70's. Secretaries going unemployed did not cause permanent dent on employment.

Conway's Game of Life appears to be a very fit species based on the length of the period for which it has successfully reproduced as well as the varied environments in which it has successfully reproduced.
Watching HTML5 video on Tor is fine, though I haven't tried a 2 hour movie in high resolution. The main challenge is that if you want to preserve many security benefits of Tor then you can't use Flash.

Tor's performance generally works well enough that I think most users could use it most of the time and make non-Tor usage a special case.
As tete says, it'd be rather inefficient to do a DDoS via Tor. I think that the reason for the captcha is more related with security, to avoid spammers or bots to getting through via Tor. Cloudflare explains the issue here: https://support.cloudflare.com/hc/en-us/articles/203306930-D...

I went to the same school (I presume) in Gothenburg. I came into the CS classes with a decent amount of math background, and a small amount of programming classes (FORTRAN, C, ADA and other kinds of evil you use in chemistry and physics). Our CS intro classes were Java and Haskell. Haskell didn't feel like a reboot to me, it felt like using math to write programs, so at least for me, Haskell felt a lot more accessible than learning OO concepts in Java did. I am sure lecturers caring more about Haskell also mattered, but at least for my background, getting the Haskell concepts was a easier than the Java concepts.

More specifically, anything branded Craftsman Evolv is guaranteed to be garbage. I've seen Craftsman Evolv tools that are identical to ones at Harbor Freight, but at twice the price.
This one isn't based on albedo though - it's grace2 data - gravimetric - and the paper is rigorous, even compensating for the minuscule crustal movement due to ice mass shifts.

About donations. Other than EFF and the Tor Project this is also a good way to help:

https://oniontip.com/

There is also organizations that host Tor servers and while I think they can be trusted and a donation certainly is worthwhile it also leads to a form of centralization.

Oniontip is likely far from covering any costs, but I guess it helps the operators a bit.

Funny thing is, I'd rather have an API for cooking me meals than an API for driving me home (Uber/Google car). Because in the latter case, when I come out of the office, I still need to spend X minutes in a car, then spend Y minutes in the kitchen. Whereas in the former case, my dinner is being cooked while I'm driving home, so I'll need to spend only X.
I am by no means a researcher, but, as a programmer who writes said CRUD apps for a living, I can guarantee that I derive most of my understanding of a complex business domain from the structure of the relational database backing it. And what is a relational database? A (time-evolving) subcategory of the category of finite sets! Primitive types (as sets of values) and tables (as sets of primary key values) are objects. Fields (as functions of primary keys) are morphisms. Chained foreign key traversal is morphism composition.

I find this way of reasoning incredibly powerful, because it tells me quickly what kind of transactions make sense in a business domain. Of course, this is contingent on the database being well designed. It is exactly the same as with Haskell types - if you can leverage the (type system) schema to encode interesting logical properties of your (problem) business domain, then (type checking) checking a query against the schema in itself becomes a lightweight form of formal verification.

One thing that must be remarked, however, is that, sadly, SQL lacks analogues of sum and product types, that is, tables whose cardinality (number of rows) is the sum or product of the cardinalities of other tables. This addition would make SQL even more powerful, but it would require a move to a more category-theory-based foundation for databases. (The relational model is based on first-order logic.)

I think because it's a way of concealing poaching (no artifacts besides your bare hands) so it's extra harshly punished, but it's just my guess.
Nope. Still an annoying process to stream YouTube, and it still chops. The general vibe of the Tor community is to not use up excess bandwidth unless you have to, because it chokes endpoints and gateways and leaves less room for others. I think a lot of gateways probably run some form of bandwidth limiter, but that's just speculation. It's considered extremely bad taste to do things such as high-volume P2P
Conjecture: I think this is online documentation, for an early definition of "online"[0]: inside the machine, rather than on paper. That would explain the sophisticated-for-the-time print quality, and lack of pictures. Symbolics and LMI had, relative to Unix, pretty documentation.

Question for a knowledgeable someone: When was this published, and for what audience? It says "for non-programmers," but that could be anyone.

[0] I first said "original" but remembered an earlier definition: when one's town was accessible by train one was "online," meaning "on the line," where line means rail.

Shorthand for $(( )) is $[ ]

In predicate contexts (which means return code in bash) like if, while or the left hand side of '&&', consider using (( )) - this has an exit code of 0 if the arithmetic expression is true (non-zero) and 1 otherwise. Use it like this:

let x=3*3
if (( x > 5 )); then
echo greater than five
else
echo less than or equal to five
end
They say the attack "exceeded 100Gbps" (https://protonmaildotcom.wordpress.com/). I moved my server to OVH 6 months ago, and since then any DDoS attacks don't affect me at all. OVH say they can handle up to 480Gbps of attacks, and people are reporting that they are getting up to 90Gbps of DDoS attacks mitigated by OVH without any problem. Their DDoS protection is completely free with any of their dedicated servers.

I don't really understand the logic behind setting up with a Swiss datacenter with zero (or very little) DDoS protection. It is pretty much guaranteed that China will DDoS you if you are in any way involved in helping dissident groups.

Fair enough. Teaching non-developers functional programming may prove an entirely different challenge than teaching procedural programmers functional programming.

There's a bunch of gurus that have done this and have been tremendously successful. To name a few: Gary Vaynerchuk, Grant Cardone, Tai Lopez, James Altucher. I'm sure there are cases that haven't been as successful, but show me one business that doesn't have failures? The point she was making was with the internet you can become a successful personality because with great content you can build up an audience without a middle man.

286 hours in one month. That's just crazy and will lead straight to burn-out if you ask me.
Learn to relax man.

Where I live (Denmark) the work week is 37 hours (so roughly 150hrs/month) and if i stretch that to even 40 I can feel the toll it takes.

Sure, when I was 25 I could work 200-300hr months, but that did eventually land me in hospital due to stress and generally being burned out.

Take care of yourself and don't work too hard. It's not worth it.
All this talk about liquid food as a holy grail to pursue is intruiging but I wonder, what harm does it do to the teeth, oral flora and digestive system if they have nothing to 'chew' on? Just like our body slowly atrophies when we sit to much and move to little, perhaps our body needs the traditional 'holistic' form of food (not necessarily including raw food)?

> What a brief Marxian analysis would tell you regarding UBI and any other reform programs: since the control of the means of production and the subsequent control of the surplus labor remains in the hands of the capitalists, the capitalists will maintain their power and quickly destroy any of the proletarian benefits that the program seemed to promise.

I see this objection raised from time to time. But I don't think it's accurate. If there is a UBI I can live off, I'll immediately quit my job at EvilCo doing stuff that I don't believe in or that I find actively harmful. The more evil a corporation is, the more it will have to pay in wages to find someone to do the dirty work. At the same time, the UBI allows people to found startups with much lower risk than today because, if the company does something people believe in, they will be willing to do it for much less money or maybe even for free. (Of course you'll still need startup capital for capital-intensive industries.)

Essentially, the UBI is a subsidy for small business doing socially desired stuff at the expense of big, evil capitalists. I really don't understand why Marxists don't see this and even fear the exact opposite.

And how is it not the same for any other server side software?

Most of the WP security issue is related to user not knowing what they are doing or third party plugin/theme.

Wordpress vanialla itself is not anymore insecure than other popular CMS or simialar software out there. From my own personal experince from doing at least 70-80 WP installs in different configurations and have never experienced any security issues in over 10 years. Thats doesnt mean its the norm. Its just that if you are going to play with a highly customizable and powerful piece of server side software and if you dont know what you are doing then you are going to screw shit up.
It's not different this time because it's not a different time. It's just that technology is a very long trend who's exponential growth is now starting to rear it's ugly head.

It used to be a tool to help us compete with others. Those who used them best got the biggest productivity gains. But now technology is not just competing with our muscles it's competing with our brains.

Thats why it's different. We are moving away from a world where technology was our servant to a world were it very well be our master.

Again your analogy says nothing when you take it in the bigger evolutionary perspective. There are no natural laws that says that just because something been a certain way for 150 years it will always be like that. The bigger trend shows no special treatment of humans.
Like how Apple "invented" the GUI? The results speak for themselves.
One fascinating part of this story is Göran Lambertz, who was chancellor of justice during the trials and is now a supreme court judge.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%B6ran_Lambertz

He fervently maintains that Quick is indeed guilty, and that there was nothing at all wrong with the proceedings of the justice system. In fact he claims, to this day as far as I know, that the evidence against Quick is "extraordinarily convincing."

While a supreme court judge, this spring he released a 502-page book "Quickologi" which he presents as a thorough debunking of the notions of Quick's innocence and any suggestion of a scandal.

That's all a bunch of politics, but around here what should be more interesting is Lambertz's interpretation of probability.

In chapter 15 of his book, he performs a calculation of the evidence that Quick is guilty—and arrives at a probability of 183%. He concludes this from a chain of reasoning that involves adding contingent probabilities in a wildly spurious way.

After a professor of mathematics described exactly how ludicrous this is in a blog post...

http://haggstrom.blogspot.se/2015/05/quickologisk-sannolikhe...

...Lambertz replied on his own blog saying that he was eagerly awaiting such a rebuttal, since his aim was to "provoke a discussion."

In other words, the chancellor of justice responsible at the time of this case, this current supreme court judge, is a blog troll who uses fraudulent statistics to intentionally misrepresent the relevant evidence.

So, yeah. I hope I don't ever have to go to court. It's like a mashup of Franz Kafka, Lewis Carroll, and Stephen Colbert.

Most awesome paragraph:

One blinker is associated with the mouse: when you slide the mouse along a surface, that blinker moves in a corresponding direction. When the mouse is moved very rapidly, the mouse blinker gets big like Godzilla in order to maintain visibility. Small children should be taken out of the room before demonstrating this frightening feature.

More broadly, reading this manual made me realize (a) how many of the ideas of the modern GUI probably were influenced by the Symbolics, and (b) how many more ideas 1981 had than today. The sense of freedom to do anything, try anything, is all over the document.
I learned a lot about security on the web by poking around wordpress sites in school. While I believe what you're saying is true it's hard to believe that the perception alone of wordpress's 'hackability' doesn't make it much more of a security risk.

If science has taught us anything, it's that Science is not a Revealed Truth but must be prone to criticism, testing, and new insights, not to mention the discovery of the unknown.

Using 'global warming deniers,' a not-so-subtle comparison to Holocaust deniers, to denigrate an entire body of scientists (scientists, not politicians) who disagree about the degree, level, impact or even nature of global warming, is doing science on a whole a great disservice.

Yes, logical fallacies are frequently used by all types to make cheap arguments. The point is no better made than in this comment.
