Another assumption:

our government == functioning democracy

Our government's apparent interests and the interests of the population are only loosely correlated in most instances and diametrically opposed to the interests of the population in way too many instances. Consider: copyright and other IP laws, the current voting systems, the power of lobbyists, congressional insider trading, military contract approval, etc.

Additionally, the large majority of society's interactions happen outside of any democratic vote. The whole goal of the Constitution was to narrowly white list the functions of government so that the Civil Society could be left to operate as it saw fit thus maximizing individual liberty.

In general, not maintaining a clean separate abstractions for government and society is like having classes that try to have too many unrelated behaviors. They lead to unneeded coupling of functions and an inability to reason cleanly about the whole system.

> They're essentially saying that no one has a legitimate cause to hold thousands of dollars in cash, so they must be doing something illicit, so we have cause to take it.

Think about it statistically. The standard is "more likely than not" the money is obtained illegally. If you pull over 100 people with large amounts of cash, what percentage obtained it illegally? If it's greater than 50%, then you can always seize the cash under that standard. You don't need to make the judgment that no one has a legitimate reason to carry that cash, just the weaker judgment that it's statistically unlikely that the cash is legitimate.
Social experiment in Facebook
In the 60's the government enlisted two fresh physics PHDs to see if they could design a plausible bomb, as a stand in a random country. In they end they succeeded in creating a detailed plan, and it didn't even take them that long.

There's much more public info out there now, and machining has improved significantly in the past 50 years, so the main barrier to building a crude bomb is material rather than the expertise or machining.

Threats to Security in the Cloud--Why You Should Be Worried
I definitely like it. Because I like Civilization, and because I like when you think about the direction and velocity of your (net worth, savings, call it what you want) rather than "what rules should I put in place and follow?"

I've been tracking my spending (cash not withstanding) since 2003, and my favorite part is looking at net worth changes per month, and how they change over time. For example, if I look at 7 years, I see that I've got a rate of $xxx but if I just look at the past 12 months it's now a much better rate of $xxxx! Occasionally, a single day looks awful... every three months I track changes to investment values and dividends paid out. And the past year and a half or so has been negative almost every time! Those days "suck" but I can still look at "how it's going in the big picture" and know we're doing alright. We're headed in the right direction.

I hope more people try approaches like yours.
The information of the first bit is implied via the exponent.

Twenty four implied 1's would give you a precision of 76 bits, but you would restrict yourself to a very small subset of all possible numbers with that precision.

EDIT: Let's put it another way. Assume you have 3 decimal digits of precision for a float. The first digit cannot be zero. Would you then claim that you don't have 3 digits of precision, but rather log(10x10x9,10) = 2.95.., because the first digit only carries 0.95.. digits of information?
> suboptimal game-theoretic strategy

If people were independently operating, weakly interacting game theoretical robots of very modest capacity, this might make some sense.

But humans are enormously complex animals evolved to live in a highly intertwined society. Critique is used for all sorts of things besides helping other people do better at their jobs. No human motivation is rational; rationality just constrains and informs action. [1] It would be an interesting world where people could just turn off social and emotional response. But it's not the world we live in.

That means that people will (and should) evaluate every personal interaction in terms of what the other party's motivations are. Is this person critiquing me because they want to help? Because they are cranky and want to lash out at somebody? Because they want to discourage me? Because they want me to change behavior they they find inconvenient or aesthetically displeasing? Etc, etc, etc.

That doesn't mean they might not also later say, "Well, he is an asshole, but I guess he has a point." That's not easy and it takes work. So if I am going to take the time to tell somebody a hard truth that I really want them to hear, I might as well help do the work that lets them really hear it. If I'm not willing to do the work, I might as well just keep my mouth shut, because there's nothing particularly rational about me taking the time to say things that people won't listen to.

I get that wishing other people would be more rational seems pretty rational. But it's an irrational stance. People are people. If I'm going to work with 'em, I have to work with the actual thems, not the thems that in some ideal world would be convenient for me.

It's configurable, as you say. Maybe I don't understand your argument "at least you won't be MITM'ed". Almost nobody runs SMTPS anyways. I'm just saying that if someone decides they want to enforce encrypted SMTP, it really doesn't matter if that is implemented as mandatory STARTSSL vs SMTPS. One is not more suspectible to MITM than the other.

SBT and Play work together great and activator run recompiles incrementally, this setup is OK.

The issue is with IntelliJ -- when I want to run Play app from IntelliJ, not from command prompt, to get easier debug support when running the app or junit tests. Running tests from IntelliJ is more convenient than using activator shell.

Yes, I could provide -jvm-debug flag to the activator command line but this works only when fork:=false, which can't be always used.

I would say it is a viewpoint I attained from doing web projects for various "startups" and "internal startups" starting in 1999 or so.

In these cases you have very small teams so you can't afford to have separate DBA, Sysadmin, Network Operations, and Development people -- at least not entirely.

When you've had experience doing everything yourself I think that makes you a better team member. For instance I write very solid server code because I hate being woken up at 3AM.

Currently, this happens:

if hostname != target {
downstream.Write([]byte("452 Different domain, please reconnect and deliver separately.\r\n"))
continue
} else {

As a side-effect, email to the secondary domain is slightly delayed.

It is a full proxy, in the sense that it sees all of the traffic, so technically it could de-multiplex and spool to two different targets at the same time for the duration of the current email.. Hasn't been a noticeable problem so far. But it would be nice to add at a later point in time. If/when someone complains, probably.

A sear is, basically, a piece of metal. It's part of the trigger assembly. Speaking simplistically, it is the thing that gives the trigger pressure -- it holds back the striking mechanism until your trigger pull releases it.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sear_(firearm)

This is an animation of a semi-automatic sear (in which the sear is the green part):
http://mcb-homis.com/blog/trigger-animation.gif

This is an animation of a fully automatic sear (in which the sear is blue):
http://mcb-homis.com/blog/m16animation1ww1.gif

Taking out a semi-automatic sear and replacing it with a fully automatic sear is trivial. Converting a semi-automatic sear is slightly more difficult, as it requires precision, and a supplementary catch (to keep the firearm from always firing always).

If people aren't committing crimes with fully automatic firearms, it isn't because the process of obtaining fully automatic firearms is difficult, because it isn't. You can get butt stocks that replicate fully automatic fire for less than $50. Fully automatic fire is just silly to use. If you miss with the first shot, you're almost certainly going to miss with subsequent shots, so for anything requiring accuracy (which is almost everything you would do with a firearm short of perhaps intimidation), converting to full auto makes it less effective.
Interesting idea.. I tend to do the same thing when watching stuff at home, where I can pause and/or jump back a few minites if I'm distracted... less so with others around me... I also tend to ignore messages, and not answer my phone when I'm out with someone else... I think it's rude. Then again, I grew up in an era where you had to go home to make a phone call.

From the article:

*>> Rockefeller asked then-CIA Director Porter Goss whether enough had vanished from Russia’s stockpile to build a nuclear weapon. “There is sufficient material unaccounted for so that it would be possible for those with know-how to construct a nuclear weapon,” Goss responded.

Previously in the article they mentioned that this 10kg of Uranium believed to be for sale on the black market is a fifth of what you would need for a Hiroshima-type weapon but it's just about enough for a well designed implosion nuke. It's not clear whether these statements are connected or if the journalist is making a mistake but Douglas Birch, the coauthor reporting from Russia & Maldova, has been reporting on nuclear issues for the Center of Public Integrity for a few years now.

The DevOps Democracy
careful, there are some hard facts (or more like hard-to-argue financial projections unless never-before-seen miracle happens), but they tend to go against common socialist sense here on HN.

I mean, I think I understand them. They are very clever, see what is wrong with this world (and there is plenty), and aim for biggest obvious culprit (be it 1% topic, evil corporations etc.) and say "if we fixed this, all will be good from now on". Well, life, economies or markets don't behave like that. People are aholes, lazy, selfish, greedy, messed up, not caring about anything but themselves.

I like solutions to problems just like the next guy, but only those who factor these basic built-in human flaws, so they can work long-term outside the paper they are written on. All other are just a hidden additional financial (and other) cost to all of us.
The USSR and the US have enriched probably a million tons of it by now, the EU has enrichment capacity of about 20,000 tSWU which they used to enrich Uranium to about 4% (some to higher levels for research/breeders/medical plants). They are the 2nd largest producer of low and high level of enriched Uranium in the world, and also due to various security blunders also helped to proliferate nuclear technology.
It's expensive but it is still done at very high scales, heck feeding a 1000MW fast nuclear reactor today require much more enrichment than running a weapons program.
That fact was actually was one of the main "fear factors" in the Iranian deal, they have a huge enrichment operation however oddly enough it would not be sufficient to drive a power program.
The part of the nuclear deal with Iran was actually a bit ironic because cutting down on their centrifuge numbers means that they could not actually sustain a "civilian" nuclear program as they will not manage to enrich enough fuel to keep any commercial energy producing reactors running.
So while they will be able to enrich uranium capping their centrifuges (at what 5000?) actually means that outside of research the only other use would be to make a bomb.
And this is simply because bombs don't care about time lines, if you are running nuclear energy you need to be able to continuously feed it with fuel fast burning light and heavy reactors consume fuel at a very high rate so if you can't have an enrichment process which can keep up with your reactors the whole program is pointless.
The nuclear deal with Iran pretty much means that they'll need to enrich Uranium for 2-5 years then run their reactor for 6 months till it burns out and repeat which is obviously nonsensical.

So I'm from the area and taught a remote CS class though teals. It isn't that easy. Most of these people don't have enough money for day to day and your idea of moving to another region requires capital. People that have never in there life had enough money to go to the dentist may find it challenging to move there entire family halfway across the country and support themselves while they get setup. Almost all the people with the means do leave what you have left are those that are already support family members or are tied to the land in some way.
The two masses will blow themselves apart before much energy is released. You'll kill yourself but not do much damage. That's why gun-type bombs use explosives to drive the two pieces together.
You're right that optimizing for metrics too early is a mistake. I do think, though, that there are good metrics to focus on at the MVP stage. Talking to users is generally a pretty good one.
> If you want round-trip conversion for all `double` numbers, i.e. from `double` to text and back

I don't. Rather, I want round-trip conversion of all 15-digit-precision decimal numbers to the machine and back. If the machine calculates some numbers which are different from some of these but alias to them textually, I don't care.

Someone else might want the decimal text representation to provide bit-exact storage semantics for arbitrary doubles.

For that reason it might be a better design choice to obtain the default printing precision from a special variable, which itself defaults to 15, rather than a hard-coded default.

I find that Scala is pretty successful if you are already a seasoned Java developer. Coming from other ecosystems, simple questions like "How do I use an execution context other than the global one?" are answered in terms of established Java practices. ("Just call this with an Executor.") And down the rabbit hole you must go. That plus a ton of leaky abstractions (also requiring a knowledge of standard Java practices) has been a big source of frustration for me. But I suppose that if you were already dealing with these quirks in Java, Scala is a nice improvement.

Not really, the US has a nominally 'progressive' tax rate and there are several bumps when various subsides expire where the marginal rate is much higher than the top tax rate.

EX: The interest on student loans are only tax deductible under a specific income. So, if you pay 2.5k in student loan interest your effective marginal tax rate increases by ~16% from 65k to 80k. The top tax braket in the US is 39.6 which is less than the 25% marginal tax rate from 65k - 80k + 16% (25+16 = 41). On top of that the top marginal tax rate does not include Social Security or Medicare income taxes, but deductions don't apply to SS or Medicare taxes.
It's terrifying that anyone has their hands on this material.

Progressive taxation is just negative feedback for earning more.

Most taxes are percentage based.
Let's assume tax level is 20%.
- one earns $1000 he will give $200 in taxes,
- one earns $10000 he will give $2000 in taxes.

Richer person already gives more to the society than the poor one, taxing the rich guy with higher taxes is just a way of making them guilty because they made it.
Progressive taxation here in Europe actually hits the middle class the most, as most of them are already in the highest tax tier (I'm not talking about the ridiculous French 75%) and as soon as you reach this level you are suddenly hit by a big tax. It makes you wonder, what you did wrong?
There's also Rollout:

In the article:

"The FBI has privately discounted Moldovan claims that radioactive materials seized in more recent smuggling incidents here were being sought by the Islamic State terrorist group."

Everything's safe, then?

Let's investigate: According to the Moldovan police presentation:

https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/2449125-moldova-law-...

The person interested in buying was of Arab-Islamic origin, Yosif Fiasal Ibrahim, 1975, citizen of Republic of Sudan, Africa.

Also, Sky News:

http://news.sky.com/story/1565320/the-colonel-dirty-bombs-an...

"Investigators found contracts made out to a Sudanese doctor named Yosif Faisal Ibrahim for attack helicopters and armoured personnel carriers.

There was a copy of Ibrahim's passport, and evidence that Chetrus was trying to help him obtain a Moldovan visa. Skype messages suggested he was interested in uranium and the dirty bomb plans.

The deal was interrupted by the sting, but it looked like it was well advanced. A lawyer working with the criminal ring had even travelled to Sudan, officials said."

There are extremists in Sudan endorsing IS, Reuters, 2014:

http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/07/24/us-sudan-islamic-s...

Also:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sudan#Sharia_law

"The legal system in Sudan is based on Islamic Sharia law." "Stoning remains a judicial punishment in Sudan. Between 2009 and 2012, several women were sentenced to death by stoning.[61][62][63]"

FBI's and the article's claim could still be technically true (Ibrahim from Islamic Sudan, not ISIS) but it helps us being better informed.
