Where exactly I have mentioned that theory of Eugenics is American? I think you have misread my whole comment due to lack of control. 'USA' has been mentioned by people who think MGTOW is an American think, and I have denied it. Eulogy is obviously a misspelling of Eugenics. Forgive me, I am not a native English speaker.

This seems like one of those ideas that could have been cool on the web of 20 years ago, but just won't work now. Internet users aren't trustworthy anyway as a whole when given anonymity.

I had a peek at your data and must say I'm surprised and impressed you manage LDL cholesterol under 75 with the amount of animal products you consume. (I noticed you said it's "within the ideal range", but did not concede it was actually under 75). For context, a single egg already puts you close to the daily recommended cholesterol limit of 200-300 mg.

Anyway, I share your ambition to get "real results" and see how foods affect my biology as quickly as possible. Sadly, we just don't have the technology to enable us yet (I predict dietary biometrics will be a big trend soon). Until then, I can only reference my own independent research into and experience with whole food, plant-based diets void of animal products (strict) and processed foods (not as strict). I'm well over a year in and feel better than before, my blood work is great and I regret nothing. The only supplement I take is a B-12 vitamin once per week. A good jumping off point for me were the websites, http://nutritionfacts.org and https://cronometer.com.
I am downvoting you not because of your logic, which is sound, but your tone, which comes across as superior and smug, even if you are acknowledging the disadvantages of those who do not possess what you call "privilege." I am doing so because a less discerning reader may judge you own your tone alone and disregard your logic entirely, rendering your argument moot. You have made your point, but in an ineffective way.
Collecting trees in the wild is illegal in many places. It's not a practice that I would personally endorse. Most bonsai enthusiasts grow trees from seed. There are quite a few that will train nursery stock, though.

As I said previously, bonsai trees are not starved of resources. Quite the opposite. They are specifically pruned in a way so that the tree is able to absorb nutrients much, much better than they would if left unpruned.

You are probably wondering why they trees are small if they aren't being deprived of something. I invite you to spend some time learning about horticulture if you are truly interested in the answer.
I'm definitely happy that the PETSc developers have put up with Elemental being such a moving target (it has expanded from dense factorizations to sparse-direct, Interior Point Methods, and now some number theory), as there have been substantial growing pains. Barry Smith has also been nice enough to poke me any time Elemental isn't valgrind clean.

Memory allocation needs to be addressed better. There seems to be a NEW, but no mechanism for deletion. (Wirth did that in Pascal. It didn't work out well.) Is this language garbage-collected?

For memory allocation, these are the known options:

- Garbage collection (scripting languages, Go, LISP, etc.) - safe, but causes stalls.

- Reference counting - (Python) safe, but can leak if you have loops. Usually adds overhead. May need a GC as a backup.

- Single-ownership without borrow checking (C++11) - partially safe, errors can be detected at run time, but this is not guaranteed.

- Single-ownership with borrow checking (Rust) - safe, complicated at compile time, but works.

- Region allocation (Ada) - used in some real-time systems. Rare.

- Manual deletion (C) - unsafe, leads to many bugs.

The manual option is probably unacceptable at this late date.
You are free to stand by your principles.

I'm arguing that "security through obscurity" is not equivalent with the "Kerckhoffs's principle" but with adding more obfuscation layers (on which steganography may be one of them) on top of default schemes.

People who know better don't advertise their internal network topology. Nor do they show off with their encryption schemes (they might use known schemes but they won't tell you they do it).

I'm not a d3 dev, but from what I've heard is that the current d3.min.js is v3, the current standard. The various small modules that are coming out are v4, and are meant to entirely replace the larger d3 package. Ideally, the entirety of v4 should be smaller than the entirety of v3.
My problem is that I can easily create account and store it in my Keepass, however when there are only 3rd party logins I have no idea which third party login I chose to use for a specific site.

Show HN: Primrose - WebVR Framework
Remember the tablets, how they were supposed to be "the next big thing"? Remember who was pushing them? That's right - it was Bill Gates. Long before Steve Jobs. Except their product sucked big time because it was built on Windows XP and you had to use a pen with it. And was slow. And expensive. And marketed the wrong way.

The same will happen here. The technology and society are simply not ready yet - someone will lead us there, but it won't be Microsoft. They never were inovators, they were always just businessmen. And no, you can't change the company any more than you can change a person. Has IBM changed? (well, I hear the ties are optional now ;) Apple? Sony? Google? Facebook? Yahoo? The shades change, but the color remains the same.

How three teenagers invented an app to police the cops
I agree with you, particularly when the stuff could just be a simple HTML page or collection of pages (e.g. transportation schedules: those were just sheets of paper recently: why should I need a mobile app or a webapp to read a schedule?).

But I also hate when something which should be a native app is instead a JavaScriptified webapp.
Git-secrets – Prevent the committing of secrets/credentials into Git repos
Crypto is too easy. Yes, too easy. Its too easy to make a single master key for a government to demand or someone to steal that unlocks everything.

In 1915 when a discovery subpoena goes out for all records relating to dumping dioxanes in a river, the company legitimately unlocks the filing cabinet and hands the files over. They don't get a key to the executive washroom or the telegram private code directory (unless that was in the subpoena) or the complete customer list or really pretty much anything but the paper files relating to dumping dioxanes in the river.

In 2015 when a discovery subpoena goes out for all records relating to dumping dioxanes in a river, the company freaks out because if they hand out "the" public key then both the .gov and any .com they're affiliated with and probably individual theives will pown every VPN they ever had and ever will, and all their records of every sort so "oh no we can't hand over keys never to no one".

When you look at it from that point of view, the abject failure of IT and IT companies to properly handle encryption is by no means any reason for the judicial legal system to be inconvenienced. In 1915 no judge would have tolerated a response like "Well we can't give you the dioxane pollution paper files and telegrams because then criminals would pown our company because we're incompetent at IT"

The other part is sociological. You may hold that phone in your hand, but its not yours, and using it is as dangerous as talking to a police officer or government official or hacker. Its not your phone, never has been, and any illusion to the contrary will result in tears. Ditto a site on the internet. Government protection of privacy assumes the privacy ever existed in the first place, which it doesn't.

Hospitals run their own version of LIMS called LIS (Laboratory Information Systems - go figure). The common practice is to partition off your lab network behind a firewall. The reason is because many of the instrumentation vendors still run their instrument control software on legacy OS versions and cannot be upgraded, as well as the fact that the operation of these systems can be critical to the organization and there is usually little to no redundancy due to cost. That being said, there is no reason that a modern LIMS/LIS system cannot be integrated with these legacy systems. In fact, that is usually what happens: An organization's central IT group puts just enough money in the budget to upgrade to the latest version of the LIMS, but doesn't include any costs for upgrading of instrumentation control software.

Nobody.

Because when a hosting company scales up its network to withstand an attack, many other companies do the same. And the attackers open accounts at several companies to launch the attacks.

If you can distribute all your services including DNS, across several providers, then you can probably withstand the attack yourself.

Whatever you do, the attackers will learn and evolve. So the best you can do is to get the pain down to a level that you can withstand. Only when everybody does this, will the attacks stop, or more likely, move to another venue.
Including dependencies and localization, d3-scale is 69KB minified and 24KB gzipped. You can make it smaller by excluding optional dependencies if they are not needed, such as d3-time and d3-time-format; you can make it even smaller by creating a custom bundle using Rollup. Here’s an example:

http://bl.ocks.org/mbostock/9bd540de6728a1fb9343

So, yes. Making it easier for people to include only the code they are using is one of the motivations for breaking D3 up into separate modules (and adopting ES6 modules).
It's highly probable, but let's trust the people for a bit, wait and see.
Consider the following, which is adapted from Pascal's Wager:

Let's say it costs $50k to replace a bad employee, and the drug test costs $50. Then the test only has to screen out one bad employee per thousand to pay for itself. It's inconceivable that the test is less effective than that, so by definition, it pays for itself.

I suspect that similar logic -- paying an small cost to ward off an incalculable threat -- is behind a lot of irrational HR behavior.
Looks like it. It was 404-ing earlier, but it was definitely an issue on their end (since it was a site-specific 404 page).

There is one good transportation app on Android, it's called Google Maps. It covers 90% of use cases. I absolutely hate that my city decided not to give Google the data (second-hand intel tells that it's because public transport provider signed some exclusivity deal with a local startup, which sole raison d'être is that the data is not on Google Maps). In a perfect world, city transportation data and transport apps would be independent, so that you could use your favourite app in all cities.

Generalizing from that, the problem with apps is one of interoperability - everyone tries to lock you in their shitty app gaining little, but taking away huge benefits that could be created by combining data sources from different parties. As it is now, companies are run by control freaks who don't care that great things are created by not trying to capture all the value you create.
"we'll just live in even ... more humiliating society than we do already"

This insight also applies to a world where HR filters (or keyword filters) based on decades of social media posts.
At a job a few years back I was the manager of a small field maintenance crew. We were tasked with maintaining wireless equipment (antennas on towers and commercials buildings) for about 10,000 customers. Our company had been purchased recently and the policy of the new owners was that any time anyone was in any kind of 'incident' in a company vehicle, every employee in the vehicle had to be picked up by their manager, driven to the drug testing facility, tested, and driven home to their doorstep and then couldn't return to work until the test came back, sometimes several days later.

The last winter I was there we got hit with a major snowstorm. One of our towers on the top of a mountain was having problems, causing service interruptions for about 7,000 customers. Our safety policy mandated at least two technicians at a job like this, and one of my 3 technicians was out of town. I took one of the others with me and headed for the tower, which was about 2 miles up a dirt road that was now covered in about 2 feet of snow. Right after pulling on to the road, the company truck brushed up against a fence post that I didn't see because it had fallen over and was buried in the snow. The post left a scratch in one of the body panels of the truck that would have to be repaired. There was no way I'd be able to get it repaired without being asked about the drug test.

I called my manager and he made a few calls hoping we could get an exception to the drug test rule this time around. No luck. This was right around the time of the holidays - maybe even New Years Eve, if I remember correctly. The only drug testing center open was about an hour drive from where we were, in the opposite direction of where we lived. My manager had to come pick us up, take us to the center, drive us home, then go pick up my last remaining technician, drive back to the tower, drive up to the tower (by this time it was dark), and then start troubleshooting the problem. Turned a 90 minute outage in to a 6 hour outage. Then of course it took several days for the drug tests to come back, so my manager and one remaining technician had to deal with all of the aftermath of the storm in the same way.

I'll bet this one incident offset any positive outcomes that company has seen from drug testing, if indeed there have been any.

AVG: “Web TuneUP” extension multiple critical vulnerabilities

> and the way I do it safely is by creating a completely separate user account in Windows

Leaving aside the fact that this is not advisable because user to admin boundary is a lot more porous than remote boundary I hope you're at least running under local non-admin account because of a certain peculiarity of Microsoft[1]. Microsoft doesn't regard UAC as security boundary for admin accounts and won't fix vulnerabilities that enables software to bypass UAC completely. Under default configuration in Windows 7 and 8 (not sure about 10) all software thus runs effectively under root. Also check what parts of filesystem games will have under that account because by default only files in a few system folders are protected while executables outside can be overwritten.

If you can I'd suggest you use dedicated machine for testing, if that is not possible and if you have compatible hardware then use visualization with bypass for GPU which can speed things to usable levels. If both aren't an option then you could test games on a separate hard disk while having main one disconnected physically, which would leave your attack surface open only to firmware overwrites which aren't very common.

That's fine, but I don't personally recall a screen saying "Enable location but not location history" in my Google Now setup process. So they opt you in by default too. You can exclude data from Cortana's "Notebook" just as you can from Google Now.
So what kind of timeframe would you expect (after 9.5.0)? 3-6 months?
Precisely. Unfortunately, there's a certain blindness to business realities among the tech community... a naive faith that the best, most open technology will obviously win, this despite copious evidence to the contrary.

Flash had no chance against HTML5. Why? Because Adobe had no way to force it on users, and vendors had every reason to want to exclude it, from support/UX to battery life to security issues. The minute open standards reached a point where HTML5 can take over, it will.

But high quality mobile web apps are a direct threat to Apple's and Google's business models for their respective platforms. The app stores are a primary way those organizations generate revenues with those platforms. They have precisely zero reason to move away from that model.

And it's only with vendor support that mobile webapps have any chance at all. In both cases, the vendor is responsible for delivering the primary HTML renderer and JS engine. In both cases, the vendor is also responsible for exposing the APIs to the underlying OS that a webapp will rely upon for maximizing integration with the platform.

Meanwhile, from the consumer's perspective, they're looking at apps, which have great OS integration, great performance, etc, versus a clunky webapp... the choice is obvious.

So you have no consumer demand, due to vendor control ensuring webapps are inferior, and no vendor demand because apps are a direct source of revenue while the APIs encourage platform lock-in.

It just ain't gonna happen.

Would there have been a non-lethal alternative protocol for the officer to follow, such as a different placement of the initial shot? Is it possible the situation could have been stopped without killing the child?

I ask this question sincerely.

Let's even pretend for a moment the kid was playing with a real gun, I still ask the same question, especially if the kid did not have it raised or pointed at anyone once confronted.

Maybe not. I freely admit I am not in a position where I have to put my life in danger on a daily basis, so maybe there's only so much officers can do in instances like this, it just seems like there could have been a different outcome altogether, but maybe that is wishful thinking.
