Haha, yeah well, of course it's not perfect, but let's not pretend Latin languages don't have their own unique set of problems ;-)

I'm acutely aware that 500 Kanji isn't nearly enough to read even the most basic of texts, unfortunately... But considering it 'only' took me 1.5 years to get to this point at a leisury pace, I would assume that anyone should be able to get to ~2000 Kanji within 2 years if you really put the effort in. If you get to JLPT N5 (~2000 Kanji) you should be able to read anything but Japanese literature. Don't know how this works for Mandarin or other Chinese dialects, but I would assume there's a base set of around the same size that should be sufficient for daily life.

The article title was implying the Chinese writing system is a 'brake on development', which IMO is nothing but hyperbole, and neglects that logographic writing systems also have their advantages.
It's worth noting that non-search bar system searches (eg through Siri) are run through Bing. I'm not aware if this was a policy decision (give less power to Google) or a monetary decision (MS paid in an effort to push up Bing's numbers).

>Is it cross-signed by the CIA, too, though?

By design, the CIA cross-signing the cert wouldn't constitute a vulnerability. With that in mind, why would they sign it in the first place?

>Also, what is it with Microsoft that it keeps "silently" adding root certs to its operating system or other services? Does it really not understand that's highly suspicious? Why not publicly announce it?

While I do agree that Microsoft should make some kind of public statement (hopefully still forthcoming), maybe they kept it under wraps until now because Amazon didn't want their new service being revealed before they rolled it out?

I'm not trying to defend Microsoft, or Amazon, or the CIA for that matter, but this article's fairly biased. Hinting at "Amazon is reported to have some very close ties to spy agencies" without expanding on that, seems almost like a clickbait tactic.

Your alternate theory is particularly interesting. We forget that in days gone by, technology spread with difficulty, and certain crafts had their knowledge particularly well-hoarded. It's one thing to say "you make a longbow from a yew tree in this manner", and another to actually do it effectively. Even if you had a few people who knew technology X in the local population, they may not have wanted to share that knowledge for fear of diluting their own power and prestige, regardless of what Mr King wanted.
Not really -- the Apple Maps vs Google Maps trouble started when Google refused to allow turn-by-turn directions until Apple started turning over more user data. If I remember right, Apple Maps launched "early" (before the deal with Google expired) in an effort to put Apple into a more powerful negotiating position.
I look forward to hearing my grandkids saying this in disbelief, to which I respond, "No, really, we carted around a massive tank of highly flammable liquid. To make matters worse, we actually steered vehicles ourselves."
I think the best situation would be formation of W3C of car batteries. Then they could design a limited set of interfaces. The thing we need is not specific implementation of technology, but somewhat boring specification to work between technologies. Current standardization authorities could do this, but they seem only interested in refining the old ones. (ISO I'm looking at you.)

PG agrees that standards and platforms are not good ground for startups. But I could not find that essay now.

I think a lot of work 10 or 20 years ago went into reducing inflammation. Less inflammation = could train again the next day! Pound down that Advil at the end of your workout so you are ready to go!

Over the last few years, it seems more and more people are saying "The inflammation process is what makes your body stronger - you can't stop it without losing the benefits!"

On the other hand, I do still see inflammation stopping treatments around. i.e. football players after a game getting into basically a freezer for 15 seconds to reduce muscle inflammation. Possibly the logic there is that they are already trained and not looking to get "stronger", just recover from the days damage as fast as possible to get ready for the next game.
Haven taken this course (though I will), but check out Andrew Ng's Coursera's ML course. He gives a crash course in linear algebra. It helped me a lot in my endeavours in ML & neural nets. I also like to learn as I go along, and this intro was just about enough to get started.

Yea, Wichita is a complete mess right now. I believe the current mayor of Wichita had an ad done regarding the failed sales tax hike (1%) which he described the average growth rate of Wichita from 1990 to 2000 and then 2001 to 2011. In the 90s we were growing at about 10% per year on average but the scary thing was the 1% growth per year in the 2000s. I know this is the truth too because I believe right now between Cessna and Beechcraft there's about 4k workers when in the past those two employers could easily field that much individually.

Things aren't improving either since Brownback seems to be happy enough with companies leaving the state despite the low taxes because he and his ilk refused to acknowledge that the major corps wanted well educated workers and have on many occasions worked with Wichita State University to improve their programs. It's why I left more than anything. The anti-LGBT sentiment is bad, but having no jobs in my field is worse.

Edit: I believe it wasn't an ad, but actually an Op-Ed pinned by Carl Brewer that gave the numbers I described on the growth rates.

Eh, the sysadmins would be monitoring eachother. I'm not saying they should have a manager that keeps their commands in check.

And yes a change management process is very nice and all, and I suppose that at Amazon no line is entered into a root sshd shell without each character being vetted thrice, but at your regular shop you can bet that there's loads of admins that type "ps aux" three times before getting it right. Not that that's terrible, but if you want to look at system administration as an engineering problem you have to know what's going on.
It's not at all strange. Security updates to publicly-facing services should be applied as fast as possible. Kernel vulnerabilities are a whole different attack surface

By peripheral do you mean things like entertainment systems and apps? If so I agree. However the author specifically emphasized the importance of the computer and it's associated software. I've got to think that entails things like autonomous (or assisted) driving capability as seen in the recent Tesla updates as well as things like improved accident avoidance, "hailing" features, or self-maintenance. I can certainly see how these software improvements would be compelling.

Salt bath scrubs? Salt bars for cleansing? Heck, you can even buy a salt lamp.
KCMO and KCKS are their in their own little bubble since they have firms that want to actually hire people to work there unlike Wichita where Beechcraft (under Goldman-Sachs prior to Textron's acquisition of the company) was outsourcing as much as they could to Mexico. Spirit Aerosystems seems to be doing okay, but they're not comparable to what Boeing was before their formation/acquisition. Other than light industrial and aerospace there's much not else in terms of job prospects. Everyone just sets up in KC or Overland Park or in Denver. A few will go to OKC, but not many.
I understand what OAuth does...more or less. I would predict that my sister does not. "Google" and "Facebook" don't connote privacy. They imply that if a person types "shoes", the next four hours of browsing will be full of shoe ads. That's the dissonance.

Why have a login at all?

Login is clearly aligned with privacy when "privacy" is mostly defined in terms of authorization. Login is less aligned with privacy when it is defined in terms of anonymity.

Google+ and Facebook are both services built on removing anonymity.
The potential for depreciation was a powerful deterrent for me. Assuming 20% depreciation a year, then a £65K Tesla would be "costing" over £1000 a month just in depreciation alone.

However, the Tesla Model S has apparently so far had lower depreciation than any other car in the UK[0], according to CAP Black Book ("the industry benchmark for used car values"[1]). Presumably this is in large part due to its relative scarcity (still a 2 month lead time for a new one, so an instantly-available second hand one becomes more attractive). Quite how long that situation holds remains to be seen.

[0] http://evobsession.com/cap-black-book-teslas-retain-value-be...

[1] http://www.cap.co.uk/en/products-and-services/black-book/

EDIT: The 20% depreciation was a rough estimate based on the Resale Value Guarantee if you buy on finance. Using figures of £64,600 cash price, £72,477 if bought on finance, and £37,584 Guaranteed Minimum Future Value after 3 years, then the actual "worst case" depreciation would be around 18% per year over 3 years.
Yes, you can restart all processes using SSL.

However, I've often been in situations where I reboot anyhow, because rebooting means I'm 100% confident the old code is gone, whereas if I try to get clever and avoid the restart, I'm significantly less confident. Depending on how hard it is to validate the security bug, that can be a problem.

Plus, for much of the past 20 years for many computers, if you're going to restart all services, adding in the last step for rebooting doesn't add all that significantly to the downtime. Server-class hardware often have things that make that not true (stupid RAID cards), but for everything else you were often only adding, say, 25% for the actual reboot.
Absolutely, Overland Park is quite well off by comparison. I was surprised when I drove through for an interview in Des Moines how it built up since I last been that way in the 90s.

It's not necessarily wrong to do any of that.

It had a profoundly bad outcome for me, but maybe that's a one-off. It's arguable whether it had a bad outcome for my physicist friend. After all, she is a successful physicist.

This was intended to highlight some things that may not be immediately obvious. Life is counterintuitive.

It is very easy to do terrible things by accident. Morals are subjective. Is it morally wrong to declaw a cat? Some are horrified and compare it to clipping off a finger. Others think it's good for the cat and perfectly normal.

If I sat here and said "What you're doing is wrong; stop this," what good would it do? Absolutely nothing.

Sharing data is a little different. No one has perfect information. They have to choose to do something, and I respect that. Highlighting unintended consequences of a decision isn't quite the same as judging it.

These CC0 silos are quite risky to use in a professional context.

They often collect images en masse from a bunch of sources without further inspection. If someone uploads a copyrighted image to these sources and marks them CC0, they will end up in these CC0 aggregators. And, if your use of this image is discovered, you will be held liable for the damage caused by your action (well, at least here in Sweden).

I would do some research before using these images in a professional context. Look up the photographer and confirm that the image is a work of her/him. If this site included proper uploader details, it would make this work easier.
This is true of almost all cars, electric or not. People buy way more car than they need, just because they like it.

Electric is starting to take off because it's finally moving past that "save a little money by not buying gas" phase, and towards "this is a great car, spend some extra money on it."

I use trackbacks, since my chosen blog engine (serendipity) supports them. I know a number of other bloggers and they all use trackbacks. My last non-spam trackback came in on Nov 9 2015, 08:02, ignoring the ones I sent to myself (I was not very active in the meantime).

Trackbacks are alive as well. But yes, they should be revisited and repackaged, I agree that they could need a popularity boost. But that is possible without breaking compatibility for no reason.

Hmm. I'd be interested in seeing your source for that. Yes, the power imparted to the arrow is the integral of the poundage supplied by the bow or prod, over the distance that it is propelling the arrow, and that distance is shorter on a crossbow than a longbow. But you can have a much higher poundage and still be usable with a crossbow; you have two arms to draw together, and are supporting none of the draw weight while aiming. I've seen the analysis of draw weights of longbows on the Mary Rose; do you know where there are sources for that of crossbows?

And yeah, sorry, I didn't mean to make it sound like they were just handing out longbows. Longbows do require significantly more training. In part, the tradeoff for longbows is that you have cheaper weapons but need to put more into training the archers.

Cohesive power blocs often come together to act as as a unified political agent when they have shared interests.

Two good institutional examples of corporate power blocs in the US are Cato and the AEI. Many of their members compete for market share, but they joined forces to gain political representation together to have their interests as a whole represented.

I have exactly these dynamics with my 2013 Nissan Leaf. I leased it, assuming depreciation would be brutal on it. And it was, in fact, Nissan just offered me $5,000 credit to buy it off them, meaning I got to finance far less of the depreciation than I should have, and some corporate arm is going to take the writeoff for me.

I was going to buy it, but the technology is changing so quickly, it seems almost pointless. On the other hand, what is the minimum a low mileage four year old electric car would be worth, even if its range is not up to industry standards? It's hard to imagine it would be worth less than $6k. If it is, the electric car depreciation will drive other used car values down.

Nissan is offering lease extensions, typically the stupidest possible way to pay for driving a car, but in this case, I think it's probably a good idea. The internal pressure to innovate against GM and Tesla means they are going to be aggressively obsoleting these older cars.

The problem with the hygiene hypothesis is that clinical trials to test it haven't really shown any results so far. Coronado Biosciences tried using pig whipworm eggs to treat Crohn's disease and other inflammatory conditions and the result was it showed no impact whatsoever.

Now that's not to say the theory is completely debunked, but so for our theory hasn't really held up with testing.

It kind of reminds me of antioxidants as well. Yes, there is a lot of evidence that oxidative stress plays a role in disease, but attempts at levering antioxidants hasn't shown any impact.
