No, but I think as long as the bug bounties pay enough to keep someone comfortable (along with added notoriety/resume padding with it), you'll have enough moral people choosing to reveal them to the companies rather than bad actors. Maybe that's naive. $1k bucks though probably isn't that number. More like $50k or $100k for 0-day level stuff.
- Time scale support will be added in v2. What we've got so far uses Moment.js for parsing dates and times with dynamic scaling to different tick sizes (hour, day, week, etc).
- Tooltip modes in v2 can be configured between 'single' which highlights the single closest item and 'label' which highlights all items at the same x value.
- Removing dots is still something that cannot be easily done. I'll dig up the issue and target it for v2.0.
Yes, nanobox will try to auto-configure your environment for you. If you would rather define your environment or if nanobox can't auto-configure your environment, you can either:

2- Write your own engine that will actually setup the environment (https://desktop.nanobox.io/engine-dev/).

Have you tried google music? I find that <random song> radio, while a little too "just one genre" is good for finding new artists and music.

They also have a decent "blogged 50" playlist which is recent/modern music.

Other than that, I mostly listen to kexp.org for a good mix of music. Sometimes for radio you can't beat the radio.
If this was true, how come the vast majority of Muslims are not blood-thirsty maniacs? They believe in the Prophet, do they not? Why aren't they killing infidels left and right? Are they simply not "true" Muslims? Or maybe they modernized their religion, just like the Old Testament is no longer followed to the letter?

The reason most of these islands are of such importance is because territorial waters, customs zones, and exclusive economic zones are extended by any sovereign land permanently above water, according to the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea that binds almost all states.

So these little islands determine which state is legally entitled to write legislation that determines taxation, shipping, airline routes, oil, fish, and any other territorial, customs, and economic rights in the area around these islands.

You have to realize the fact that humans have some really annoying bugs.

a) The first one is the fact that we want (mostly) to help each other and make each other happy. This looks benign, but combined with b) can be really irritating

b) Humans are bad at empathy. You might enjoy humanistic education or sports and so you automatically think that everyone else does too.

This probably worked fine for our ancestors (getting torn apart by a cave lion is something no-one would like) but kind of breaks in modern society.

Different people like different things, keep that in mind.

It's an odd comparision, because Nix and Guix both include tools for making virtual machines and containers. I think the better comparison would be virtualizing/containerizing traditional distributions like Debian vs. using Nix/Guix.

With a traditional distro, you need to use a handful of additional tools like Vagrant, Docker, Ansible, etc. as well as several additional package managers to get everything setup. With Nix and Guix, you use a single package manager and single suite of tools to provision local environments, with or without virtualization. Those environments are declarative, reproducible, can be rolled back, etc. It's a much cleaner way to work.

All of the arguments about why it's not possible remain true, even if connected by some sort of wormhole that means they "really are" right next to each other in some sense. You still have the fundamental problem that you can't select what you collapse, so you still have to send a conventional signal to "decode" the putative instantaneous signal.

Remember the correspondence principle will still be in play; future quantum theories will still have to limit out to what we know today, because the QM of today is arguably the most rigorously tested theory in humanity's history, by number of significant digits. FTL communication still will have all of the problems conventional relativity says it will, for all the same reasons.

Entanglement has suggested for a long time that there may (in clumsy English words) be some sort of "real reality" that isn't necessarily constrained by what we think of as space and time. In fact even relativity looked at in a certain manner has suggested this; you can travel from any point in the universe to any other, barring black holes, along null spacetime intervals. Null spacetime intervals have no distinction between the points in them, because they all come out the same 0 in the metric measurement. I wouldn't expect that any of this new math is going to change anything; it may explain where the constraints of space and time come from, but explaining the constraints doesn't mean that the explanation will come with a way to get around them!

In fact my personal observation is that the fundamental limits of space and time have been getting stronger as we learn more about physics, not weaker; a mathematically rigorous derivation of the fundamental speed-of-light limit from a "more fundamental" level of reality locks the door even tighter, it doesn't open it.
Thanks for the heads up! Please keep in mind this is an open-source project in the pre-beta phase. Any contributions are welcomed!
I think these are different use cases. If you create a CMS and allows your users to write templates you probably want to limit them a lot. If you use a template language as a part of building a web site or an application you probably want as much features as possible.

The worst bit here is the lack of communication.

Imagine the nanostructure as a bucket and light as water. The goal is to fill the bucket with water and store it there. Light "fills" a material by polarizing the electrons inside the material. However that polarization can and must re-emit light. If there's a 1:1 ratio between the amount of polarization you get in the material for field in the light the reverse process is equally likely, then it turns out the material polarization will always just make light again in the same amount as you add. Ie: there is a hole in the bucket and you cannot fill it.

Some materials polarize non-linearly. Ie: you add 1 drop of water into the bucket and it becomes two drops inside or the reverse. Actually all materials do this but much less than ordinary (linear) polarization. The author's contrived some setup which would exploit this effect to keep the polarization in a nanostructure. Something like (and this is an abuse of analogy): one drop in bucket, it splits, one of those is emmitted and one kept etc. The operating principle of such a device is to control the paths the drops travel on, and separate the directions to enhance the desired processes. Something like a mouse trap.

There are many devices which already exist and maintain states of light given some energy input, for example LASER cavities. Non-linear phenomena are well understood and exploited in all sorts of fascinating optical devices. Non-linear processes are usually weak and rare, so seeing them requires intense light which is expensive to generate and can burn weak materials. Preparing nanostructures which have the desired nonlinearities could be hard or impossible.

For example it's easy to theoretically imagine a crystal that would take the many of infrared photons emitted by the heat of your hand, and upconvert them into fewer visible photons you could see. However any material which could be polarized so much by those low energy photons would not be stable at room temperature so no such thing exists...

> These stories attract the attention of some of us because we wish we had been raised similarly.

We wish we had been but we didn't live in the right time or place for an upbringing like this. I remember stealing my dad's college textbooks on mechanics and applied mathematics and sneaking them off to school; taking out Byte and Compute issues from the library when they were available... just starving for more all the time. Astronomy club. Chess club. In high school I went to night school with my friends' mom at the university in the big city when I wasn't working to help pay the rent. You just couldn't get the breadth and ease of access to information you can today. It was slow and laborious back then.

But a world like this? Today? Amazing. You don't even have to leave your house. He is lucky. I'm 33 now and I'd kill to be able to study mathematics full time and be a professor some day. It just wasn't in the cards. Parents, circumstances, life and all of that.

Yes... we'll envy stories like this. More of us could have been this hungry. We just couldn't get there.

That said, my suspicion is that Rungta's early achievement is not cause for concern about his social development. Conducting research, for instance, is an intensely collaborative experience that he will probably have, and would provide ample opportunity for interacting with people of many ages. He probably will be fine.

"'No more Kickstarter for me. Willing to pay more after the product hits the shelves,' wrote another."

Despite several fairly high-profile Kickstarter's that did not deliver, this line still seems to come out after new failure.

Or if, given the number of people backing Kickstarter projects, there are just always going to be backers who don't understand the funding model.
Well, I don't think it's quite fair to compare different people's lifestyles in that context. Especially since I live in the US where things might be a bit different in various situations than in Europe.

Believe me, I agree with the idea of shedding useless stuff before a move. Which we have. But you tend to accumulate needed stuff with a family in tow. Also, keep in mind that the amount of money involved isn't just for moving physical items.

There's distance as well. I've moved across the entirety of the United States twice, mostly for jobs. Although it was a bit of adventurous thinking because we liked the idea of such a huge change.

I regret nothing.
> As far as the article's text reveals, it says his parents were responsive and not pushy: "Rungta is grateful to his parents and to MIT for being responsive to his needs every step of the way."

Sure, he will never say bad things about his parents, especially not in the media. He's from India! As I see it parents (in general) can bend things so that children do not want anything else than what their parents want. This is not to blame the parents - they probably don't know better.

From this story I can't tell what is the case. His parents are maybe the best ever, that not only want best for their kid, but actually let him find out what that is.

Language features very rarely get locked down to specific languages. Go doesn't own green threads... after all the term "green threads" predates Go. Nor does it own CSP, and it wasn't the first implementation. Also witness the number of languages that got hooked up to the various kernel-poll event loops over the past 10 years. Nowadays labeling a language as "supports event-based polling" is right up there with saying it supports closures... of course it does, it's the bare minimum of what anybody will look at anymore.

The things that distinguish languages are typically in other dimensions.

I'm content with my upbringing, but I think it's worth speculating about alternatives from a personal perspective since at one point we may raise our own children. For all we know, this person night have better social skills, personal development, etc. than those of us who had a "normal" upbringing. Normal should be defined by results rather than popularity. Don't you agree?
This isn't normally distributed. Would you find someone learning to feed at 18 as surprising as someone learning at a week old? Reading at this age is certainly unusual.
I've hung out with Ahaan at school several times -- some people in the comments here are speculating that going to university this young might make it hard to adjust (socially), but honestly I assumed he was like ~20 (i.e. just like any other college-age dude). I had no clue he had such a neat backstory of how he got to MIT!
My opinion is that mathematics is an important part of logic because it lets us examine our quantitative assumptions and bias. It's an important language.

I also believe that learning mathematics and numerical approaches is a life-time pursuit. It's a marathon, not a checklist and so a person can focus on constantly deepening their toolbox rather than on all the tools they cannot yet use.

Good luck.

SQL porn subreddit
I'm a LastPass user and everything here was pretty much as I expected with one exception - the unencrypted metadata in the vault. That's extremely disappointing. The ECB stuff isn't really used any longer, the OTPs are kind of hacked on, no surprise there. I was willing to tolerate that stuff for an overall decent solution.

But now realizing that they're handling URLs in this way... I just can't use it anymore or recommend it in good faith.

So what do I do?

- KeePass looks nice, has multiplatform support and browser extensions but the crpytography in it is sketchy, custom KDF and stuff going on... mobile support might also not be so great though I'm not positive.

- PasswordSafe has better looking cryptography, though still not up to where I'd like it to be as well as a worse UI, worse browser support, etc. And last I checked I think Linux support was sketchy.

- There are an infinite number of questionable proprietary solutions that have similar problems to LastPass, usually far worse actually...

- and a few open source solutions that look good but completely lack in the UI and integration departments.

So I'm about to take KeePass, gut the crypto, replace it with simple scrypt and AES-OCB or chacha20-poly1305 and hope I can wind up with something I'm comfortable using - anyone have a better suggestion?
It would not surprise me if a single password is enough for an attacker to guess the rest in this scheme. It is common enough to be predictable, and even if it weren't, all your passwords are at most 2 characters different from each other. That's not a lot of entropy.
