That's the flip side of the point, I guess; you can't go against the obvious interests of a majority of citizens, but if you can manipulate an uninformed/prejudiced/scared majority, then you have a relatively free hand to abuse everybody. Hence the importance of informed voters.

One-Hour Security Drill to Keep You Safe from Hackers
AFAIK they have sharded their pages and repositories in a way that if one gets DDoS, usually it's only that piece that gets downtime (I know this because there was a problem with the Chinese government and a Github repo, that got constantly attacked, but that was the only repo suffering).

Ofcourse, if one does a sharding, it's bound not to be repo by repo, so there might be adjacent ones suffering.
But I use GH everyday, can't remember a time when it was offline.

The big problem is you have to be dead before you can be vitrified. Given that the last 24 hours of your life mashes you brain (basically everything above the brain stem is oxygen staved for at least 24 hours before you die), there is little information to preserved.
Pivoting doesn't come without any cost, focusing on other products means large investments in infrastructure, which was earlier set up for marihuana and became unprofitable. However you want to look at it, it's a loss for the cartels in the short term. In the long term, it depends on what they decide to focus on; hopefully, we'll legalize that next thing before the cartels start making a huge profit from it.
Thank you for working on this project and sharing it.

For those unfamiliar with how crazy the shenanigans at r/bitcoin (and bitcointalk.org), the historical primary online discussion forums for Bitcoin (both run by the same individual [1]), the subreddit uses a 70+KB custom stylesheet [2] to unhide collapsed (downvoted) comments, hidden points, thread sort order set to controversial, and very heavy-handed moderation/banning to unduly influence/control conversation [3].

The community seems to have done an ok job working around this with r/btc (although conversation there is almost completely dominated by discussions on the hard fork and against Core) and the bitcoin.com forums (although again, not without some drama/controversy, and both of those forums are still run/controlled by a single person (Roger Ver)) - it seems like guaranteeing open/neutral discussions for crypto-currencies is still an unsolved problem.

Personally, while I'm following along (and running a Classic node), I've liquidated the few coins I've had to see how it shakes out. It's incontrovertible that Bitcoin has hit its current capacity limits which is especially dangerous with the upcoming halvening, and the primary development cabal has been unwilling to scale it, despite foreknowledge/certainty and increasingly urgent calls over the past 2 years. If Bitcoin becomes viable again, I'll throw my money back in the ring, but if it doesn't, well, it was an interesting experiment and spurred a lot of innovation, but also pointed out some still unsolved problems (tracking consensus/governance among stakesholders and for protocol evolution, independent development funding, figuring out how mining/nodes should be incentivized in light of pooling behavior, mining concentration pressured by electricity pricing, etc).

(It's worth noting even besides the relatively simple/bullet-proof XT/Classic block-size increasing hard-forks [4] there are some really interesting other scaling technologies like [5] Xtreme Thinblocks or [6] parallel sync that have been either ignored or outright rejected while Core chases a Blockstream (sidechain, lightning network) focused agenda that simply doesn't seem to fix the right now problem.))

I can bring my finger into focus, drawing my focal point in front of the screen, and if then remove my finger I can hold that focus (with about a 50% success rate). Perhaps that is cheating a little ;).

Yeeesh...I consider myself experienced with data but that console confused me greatly...I imagine it doesn't do well with less ideal datasets. I think Tableau is probably the more appropriate, general purpose data exploration tool...and I say that as someone who doesn't really know how to use Tableau (I'd say Tableau is the first piece of software that I've decided that I'm not patient/smart enough to learn).
Thanks Jon for your work on this!
Wow this takes me back, we poor UK modem users used to order linux cds from sktechy Micromart adverts, or fork out 40 quid to suppliers like software warehouse (now defunct) when Red Hat Linux was just RHL and came in a box too (no enterprise, fedora not yet born). Never used this particular distro though, $80 for the deluxe edition, one can buy a whole computer pre-loaded with Linux/Android even Win10 (in some scenarios) for less than that price nowadays. Makes me feel lucky

Note that I've only used it to run Linux so far.
Tax too. Sometimes Amazon will have a better price and free shipping (and prime) but due to CA tax it'll be cheaper to order from out-of-state (free shipping is pretty common). Amazon also doesn't really do many coupons, so promo codes are more likely to work at smaller places or the mfg website (usually only worth it for larger purchases).

Openstack Networking–Building Networks with Neutron, Brick by Brick (SlideShare)
Because I still find the theory interesting, I'd just prefer a CS course that tends a bit more towards the practical than the theoretical. Having seen a lot of the optional modules at several universities it looks like this would definitely be doable.

Plus the few courses I've seen in Software Engineering are a lot less diverse than those in CS.
That's one kind of lonely person, though they are not strictly lonely because often they have lots of relationships online, so they are talking to people. Often they are considered unattractive by women.

The kind I have in mind is 67 year old retired atheist man or woman living next door, unmarried, parents passed away. has 3 siblings with kids but never talks to them. Has to rely on neighbour to call him or her up at the designated time every day to make sure he or she picks it up to confirm they didn't faint in the shower.

I knew a few of these. One of them asked how to meet women because he hadn't talked to one for so long. The other struggle to say "I'm fine" every time I ask her "How're you?".

My parents is the neighbour by the way. I think the man has a son but I get the feeling his son never talks to him.

If browsers supported APIs to allow "native" image/video/audio codecs to be written in JS, we could support new formats like this without needing any co-operation from the (very conservative) browser vendors.

Data Valuation: Is Your Big Data Worth Zero or Trillions?
See the downvoted answer below for citations.
It's not even the original that has the 1MB limit. That was added later as a temporary measure. Satoshi said that it could be increased and heavily implied it would be increased long before it acted as a limit to transaction amounts.

But I expect someone will be along shortly to "correct" my understanding.

As a neutral (I own no bitcoin), the whole thing is very dogmatic, very messy and looks like it's about control not about the limit at all. In fact many core devs were previously arguing for increasing the limit until it became clear that that position wasn't compatible with their position in core.

Outsiders see core as having been corrupted by the wishes of blockstream VC money. Pro-core see all outsiders as a conspiracy trying to wrestle control away.

In short, it's a complete mess.
The problem is not in patents or capitalism, but in perpetual extension of intellectual property in a Disney-like fashion. The point of "Cyclical" is that there is a cycle - a life-cycle of development, then intellectual monopoly and finally general availability. Sovaldi's patent should have expired in 2012, and Martin Shreli's Daraprim's patent should have expired in 1973. Perpetual extension simply abuses the system, and the stories like in the original article are just a reflection of system's abuse, not the flaw of the idea of protecting intellectual property in the first place.
Not exactly, no. But not even the output of the same framework will always be the same since you are usually randomly initalizing the weights in a network and randomly picking the samples used in SGD[1] (the seed for the RNG could of course be a fixed one to mitigate this somewhat).

But in the end, if you are using the same model, the same solver and the same RNG, yes the output of all frameworks should be the same. In practice this also mostly holds true, since the stochastic processes involved are geared towards finding a good local minimum, which is the same given a model and a dataset.

Yeah, I hate comments at the end of a line of code. No good can ever come from having a comment on the same line as code, it only encourages completely meaningless comments like:

int a = 0; /* assign 0 to a */
a += 5; /* add 5 to a */

Until you realize that you were really meant to add 6 to a and change the code and not the comment.

Comments should be written on their own line(s) and only to explain the intention or warn against uninformed changes (or both):

// WARNING! There be dragons here. It *may* look like we're reading
// uninitialized memory here but it's all part of a greater plan,
// the plan to get some good entropy into the random pool. So don't
// remove the reads you don't understand, even if lint tells you
// they're bad or you'll severely limit the entropy of all users
// private keys from now on.
Also, they absolutely appraise house prices by those metrics, along with square footage. A house selling for less in a neighborhood will also cause the appraisal value of other similar houses to drop. People get upset about that even if they have no intent to sell their home.
I doubt the insurance was actually paying the sticker price on that medicine anyway. It's all part of the illusion.
In fact Trump has mentioned ideas such as a special tax on any money sent to Mexico, which is certainly plausible.

Trump doesn't help his case by simply headlining "and Mexico will pay for it" over and over, but he does mention practical suggestions (even if you remain opposed to the fundamental concept) from time to time on most of his policies.
So you would need to load up the JS decompressor every single time you load a webpage? Or is there another way to do it efficiently ?
I work at an e-comm retailer, and we sometimes will have two sales within 28 days of each other. If a product is in both sales, we have to indicate in the second sale it had been on sale within the last 28 days.

I found it surprising when this came up, because I don't recall seeing that footnote on any other site, ever.

Also, there is a town somewhere in the North of England/South of Scotland where all the big sofa/kitchen retailers never discount their stock. As such, they can claim it's been on sale at full retail value somewhere in the UK for the last 30 days, and other such foolishness. It's silly, really.
You know all engineers do not always blame users?

There are fields of engineering where an accident even due to human causes is systematically seen as an engineering problem.

And that may be the reason why traveling by plane and train are safer than by car.

But US engineers made a great job at convincing legal department that poorly engineered goods where not the causes of accidents.

Now it bugs me cause i can't find info on when the file was edited... Stats and defaults read display 20th January. wierd thing is that I ran the app during problematic time interval but havent found any single process or file that was mentioned in Palo Alto Security page, no kernel_services process or any other misbehaving. Anyway I did Time Capsule backup 10 days ago, and haven't plugged the drive into my computer since, so if anything happens I will roll it back. We shall see, but it is kinda uncomfortable to keep using "maybe infected" machine. Who knows what else may be left, supposedly nothing... Thanks anyway for the help! Cheers
Thanks for posting this! It's amazing how something so simple can be so much fun.
I'm from Brazil, and the government is worried that the problem here is even worse, for example the first year Dell made a brazilian black friday sale, I bought a computer discounted from 4900 to 4300, but I had to cancel the order the next Tuesday after a personal problem. The non-sale price was from 4250 to 4050... so Dell "sale" in Brazil meant bumping the actual price from 4050 to 4300 and them claiming it was a yuge discount from 4900, a price they never practiced.
Sweet!

Although I still cannot believe it took C++ like 30 years to come up with this.

Suicide is when you kill your self.

Assissted dying is when you ask a doctor to kill you, or to help you kill yourself.

It's useful to seperate out people who want to control their death when they have an incurable illness from people who want to die when they have a treatable mental illness.

It's especially useful if you want assisted death to become legal. It makes it a bit clearer that you're not trying to make it easier for people with mental illness to die.
"And war is VERY anti-capitalist."

I meant something like that:

struct x {int a, char* b}
x foo();
// a lot of code
struct y {char* y, int x}
y bar();
//another header
struct z {bool a, int b, char* c}
z foo2();

It is ussually the same data structure, but someone was lazy to define it properly.
Great invention. Congratulations and thanks.
Most important question - How many linguists are on the team developing this?

I find the attitude of doctors to chronic pain for which they cannot provide a solution to be very frustrating.

Why is it that opiate addiction is seen as far far worse than debilitating chronic pain? Why can't the patient make that choice?

From an employee's perspective, rather than contractor, I feel that it's fear that keeps me on LinkedIn.

"What if I lose out on an opportunity, or seem strange, because I'm no longer on LinkedIn?"
The one that annoys me is blatantly fake RRPs.

There is a Chinese watch maker behind the brand "Thomas Earnshaw", capitalising on the London watchmaker who was a pioneer in the field centuries ago. They claim their full RRP is somewhere in the region of £600 for one of their automatics. I don't think they've ever sold one for that price - they sell them in the £150 range on the basis it's "so cheap!" to so many consumer.

They're not awful watches, but really, they're £50 automatics, and should be sold as such. By insisting that they are £600 watches, and the constantly offering deep discounting, they are basically playing games with the consumer and almost tricking them into paying 3x their true worth.

If you're not that educated about automatic watches, you're not sure what the difference is between movements and which ones are worth money and which are not, it's hard to not be hoodwinked.

I think for a while certain PC and laptop manufacturers at the lower end of the OEM market played the same games, especially on bulk account deals going into education and healthcare markets, especially in the UK. Go look inside a Viglen or RM machine and tell me that they are worth the list price. They aren't, but it looks good on paper when somebody "negotiates them down because of the size of the order".
/r/bitcoin has never been a venue for discussing alternative cryptocurrencies. Due to reddit's lack of a concept of sub-subreddits or the ability to have a subreddit's front page filter out a certain tag, the only way to remove floods of people discussing off-topic subjects is to say "sorry, please discuss that in another subreddit".

Last paragraph is most salient. LinkedIn is an inadvertently maimed social construct, the (soon to be) missing link between a resume or cv and whatever comes next.

Facebook can be opted out of without THAT long of a sidelong glance because it's an overlay of something more temporary in life - a yearbook, or little black book.

Just try saying to a prospective client/recruiter "oh, having a resume/cv is for the naive unwashed masses" ... because that's what most would hear.. the rest will probably be the best candidates ever (if they sincerely agree)
In a mathematical world you operate with abstract objects. In the real word - you need to abstract things; before that everything is unique; after that - well, depends on your abstraction. So unless you talk about mathematics, things can be more or less unique.
It's a standard marketing trick - because it works.

It's why shady online marketing sites always have a "Special discount for today only!" tag. And - protip - why some automatically offer a 10-20% discount if you try to bail on the transaction.
That's the downside - but if a JS decompressor library is served from a CDN, it only has to load it on the first site that uses it, like using jQuery from a CDN. Service Workers can also serve content like this from an offline cache, so it doesn't have to hit the server again on later visits.
The appraisal value is absolutely important when using lenders. My house appraised for 25% less between two local appraisers within 5 months of each other - the higher was during low housing movement. This forced me to bring in even more money and nearly caused the seller to drop and wait for a cash buyer (common in high retiree areas).

That appraisal value is not terribly important to retirees though because they tend to buy for keeps instead of caring about resale value as much as, say, a first time home buyer would.
The browser would cache a copy.

I've seen proposals to add hashes to links. This way, a browser might see a link to some JS on a new URL, but with the hash, it might find it already has that JS file in its cache from when it downloaded it at a different URL.
> There is no analogy without logic. I even fail to recognize a difference between speech and logic, speech without logic, by analogy, would be just noise.

Sure. That's why sometimes we see such bad analogies, the logic doesn't match so well the actual idea. When the idea you are trying to convey isn't that complicated at all you're probably better off using just pure logic and not complicated constructs such as analogies.

As for speech, indeed, there's a deep logic bounding the language structures we use. The problem with language (logic and meaning wise) is that language is relative to the environment and to the speakers of the conversation. You have to figure out the "language game" where the conversation is being held. As for logic, we expect no subjectivity (if there is subjectivity it's bad logic).
It's rational to claim that people are efficient and rational consumers even when they aren't, because there are clear economic and political benefits to pretending the claim is true, even though truly rational and efficient individuals can see it's utter nonsense.

How I rolled my own explainer video for my Saas in a weekend
What's funny is the same thing works in reverse but not enough to deter completely : "what (real life) shenanigans am I attracting by hoping this isn't a total timesuck?"

Clients from LinkedIn in are way more high maintenance on average compared to StackOverflow/SE and GitHub. Maybe it's not as bad for recruiters.
So, my first thought on reading the title was "Good, someone has (re) discovered APL (or J, K, Q or another array language)." Could be a good algorithmic dive into mpeg. Mpeg decode and a simple player seems like a reasonable sub-1000 line APL project. I include mp3 audio decode, of course.

Complete disappointment -- I learn nothing.
