If killing people is evil, which it is, because you can never ever be convinced of a truly righteous killing (there is always doubt), then killing a person does not remove all evil. It may reduce evil, depending on whether the murder of the person is as evil as the actions the person committed, but it never completely removes evil.
I'm not sure how I feel about that. How long will that code live in Transmission? It's not really Transmission's job to remove malware.
Also because they're their home countries. It's what they know and where their friends/family are.

Just another sign of the continuing corporatization of MIT (and the rest of academia). Our Dean of Students is now a Vice President, in line with our "peer institutions." At the end of the day, MIT is a corporation, and exists to make money, but it's incredibly irritating when administrators refuse to admit this to students, and frame all debates without that context. "These changes are to make us more similar to our peer institutions" = "we want to make more money".

If anyone here is an MIT alum (or boardmember!), please considering getting in touch with current students and seeing how you can help. At this point it's pretty clear we have no voice on campus.

Obama is supposed to act as an agent of his constituents and a leader at the same time. His constituents are tens of to 100+ million Americans with a variety of demands. He has to vote or act their way a good amount of time to get or stay elected. It's very constrained and dirty due to inherently corrupt environment between cost of elections (excludes good folks, promotes lobbying) and tyranny of majority. System and demand side are problem because they exclude all honest, decent people from President. Name a counterexample in past two decades if you doubt that.

So, Presidents and often (not always) Congress are a special situation compared to a group voluntarily creating organizatikns to push for harm and people supporting that over better organizations. Totally different in both what options are available to people starting nonprofits and which people can donate to vs what specific actions a President or Congress can pull off.

3.25% is definitely pretty feasible. Interest rates on bank accs right now aren't a great reflection of supply and demand. But if you look at average returns on the market, say by looking at a decent first proxy for the market like the S&P 500, well that's one which has a 7% inflation-adjusted (i.e. real return) return in its history. In recent years it's been a bit higher as the market is rebounding. In general I'd assume its on the high end (century of cheap oil and all), but 4% is still a realistic long-term return figure, and so 3.25% is therefore quite doable with a moderate level of risk in a diversified portfolio. (oh and the above is not just inflation-adjusted, but also excluding dividend payouts which aren't insignificant).

This. As GP mentioned, we pit them in jail as an attempt to remove them from society.

If you or your family have enough money (and we're not even talking about the billionaire, or even tens-of-millionaires here, but far smaller sums of cash), prison is merely a speed bump.
This is a government installation. People don't switch jobs here very much.

Tires and oil changes are the two biggest service jobs on cars these days, since everything else is so reliable. But on a 10-year-old car, it's entirely possible to do more substantial repairs thanks to the OBD-II service tools that are available. You can get one of these scanners for $100 now (or less for a crappier one), look up any codes thrown by the ECU, which will tell you exactly which sensor has gone bad. As long as the manufacturer isn't intentionally making it so you need a dealership tool to do stuff, these cars can be quite a bit easier to work on that older ones since they tell you what's wrong.
I'm still upset that they bought softimage only to harvest ICE, and then discontinue it once they were done with it.
>and distributors/manufacturers/registered owners were held liable for damages in the case of improper use, and with potential for their ownership/distribution license to be revoked, guns would become a lot safer.

My understanding is that this is just an attempt by gun-control activists to effectively ban gun sales to consumers. How can the gun manufacturer be responsible for how the gun is used? Their job is to make the gun to the advertised spec, not keep the peace. You can't sue the knife-maker when you get stabbed. Perhaps I'm misunderstanding what you mean by "liability for damages in the case of improper use"?
How about one that supports a fast serialisation format such as Flatbuffers [1]? In the communications protocol. Json is so 2015 ;).

Love the quine "difficult mathematical type exercise".
I wonder if there's a better solution than the naive:

((lambda (src)
(cons (cons (quote lambda)
(cons (quote (src))
src)
(cons (quote quote)
src)
(quote
(cons (cons (quote lambda)
(cons (quote (src))
src)
(cons (quote quote)
src)
)
Unfortunately the currently available solution (boost::optional) performs enough worse that the difference can be measured in a simple implementation of "wc -l". Consider the following code:

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <boost/optional.hpp>

using namespace std;
using namespace boost;

optional<string> getline_(istream &st) {
std::string line;
if(getline(st, line)) return line;
return none;
}

int main() {
int lines = 0;
while(getline_(cin)) lines++;
cout << lines << "\n";
}

vs

using namespace std;
int main() {
int lines = 0;
string line;
while(getline(cin, line)) lines++;
cout << lines << "\n";
}

Run on an input file of 172,544 lines (the GPL-3 license repeated 256 times), the version using "optional" takes 400ms and performs 1,077,504(!) heap allocations, while the more standard version takes just 280ms and performs just 8 allocations.

Of course, "wc -l" (GNU) takes just 9ms, so clearly this isn't a great program either way--but it does serve to show that boost::optional can be a surprising performance sink compared to using a bool return value + out parameter.

> Every car should have an open API that is easily accessible using any computer, rather than specialized equipment.

This is the excellent statement but coupled with the threat of being kicked off the warranty (which means no repairs whatsoever since no independent shops) and being assaulted by lawyers with charges of industrial espionage if you veer a little to the left or to the right does not exactly make it a model citizen. Hacking culture is all about doing things manufacturer did not think of. Yes, sometimes that can lead to screw-ups, including ones worthy of voiding the warranty, but so far it seems like Tesla is in full "besieged castle" mode, and even docs you mention are unofficial - which means a) they could change anytime and b) you could be charged with espionage for using it anyway.
Yeah, please don't take what I wrote as a criticism of you personally — I think it's a great example of how long a widely-seen sensational news report can color our collective memory.
> This article appears part wrong, part obvious and part pointless.

Nothing in this article is wrong. What adds to your knowledge of C is that certain operations on C pointers that would make sense if they were just bit pattern are actually undefined behavior. Undefined behavior may lead to subtle bugs due to how compilers do optimizations.
Checked my install of 2.9.0 from auto-update, it's clean (none of the suspect files are in Contents/Resources). According to a post on the Transmission forums, when a person was (probably) delivered an infected binary, there was a checksum failure as you'd expect. So it seems as though you won't be infected if you used the auto-updater.

Etymology of the word “janky”
They can also be partially solved by refusing to do business with companies that sell products with customer-hostile terms. The only problem would be the day every car manufacturer on Earth decides to behave in this way. Fortunately, while there are a significant number of people like me around, there will always be a market for "things you can buy use without asking permission from the manufacturer".

I find the car I own to very usefully occupy spacetime. If I didn't I wouldn't have bought it. And I am glad that I don't have to phone home to Toyota in order to start it each morning or to repair it. Quite frankly, I don't care what a city would look like without parking spots.

Every time there is a discussion about people without children versus people with, a bunch of childless people will make the statement about having to pay taxes for these kids. It is like they have read that statement elsewhere and then repeats it without actually thinking about it at all. I don't bother responding anymore.
I can't find any reference to "unlawful entry" in the law books. There is a Kurt Russell film by that name though.

Trespassing is an actual crime, but it does not fit your description, at least in California. Here, you must have an intent to interfere with the owner's property for it to be considered trespassing. If I enter your open door because I want to invite you to a party, or use your restroom, or hang out with your cats and play video games until you come home I have not committed any crime. Well maybe you could get me for stealing water and electricity, but the entry is not a crime.

"Breaking and entering" is also not a crime in California. However, if you actually steal something that is burglary, which is a crime, and does not require forced entry.

That is a good idea but note the use of GPG - if you aren't able to forge that signature, the verification step will fail.
+1 for Having Measured It.

The basic getline interface removes heap pressure by reusing the same string over and over, even though semantically the optional<string> approach may look cleaner. Eric Niebler showed a while ago (I can't remember where) that this API lends itself perfectly to ranges, and can provide both a reasonable interface without sacrificing performance. IIRC, the API looked somewhat like this:

for (auto& line : getline_range(cin))
f(line); // do something with line, e.g., parse.

The semantics are: iterate over standard input until EOF or error and let the range keep (and reuse) the string internally while exposing it as const-reference by dereferencing.
I don't think so.
In addition, they need to add node.js and go's results to their performance comparison page.
This is interesting. I am from the Caribbean and my parents a small rock(basically) off the coast of the mainland where your lively hood depended on the sea in one way or the other(fishing, diving, boat building). As a kid I would spend a lot of time in the water there swimming and diving. I felt like my underwater vision was so much better. This might not have been just a feeling then.
How often do the more active ones last between failures? Just curious.
However, consider that in order to continue a society needs to reproduce. Children are incredibly expensive in terms of both time and money, more so in terms of time. If anything I think in its own interest society should further subsidize having children, especially if it is somehow weighted toward parents who are raising highly productive members of society. The German method of paying the mother's wages for up to 2 years seems like a good way to do that. If it's a fixed amount it encourages growth at the low end and discourages having kids at the high end, where it actually helps to disperse inheritances if people have more kids and equalize opportunities in the society.
Ontario announces guaranteed minimum income experiment
I think that saying that something does well without marketing is making an implicit argument that it's doing well for some other reason. A basic model might be success = (value + delta) * ( marketing + epsilon). If you give success a large number and say that marketing was zero then the model leads you to guess that there is substantial value in the product itself.
To your first point, I do think leanness is a virtue. Especially in a young company where product market fit isn't yet targeted it can be easy to burn investor money without roi.
For things that are likely to carry malware, use a separate account. Probably a good idea for a Bittorent client in any case.

In practice, however, it is much easier to deal with malware if there's no admin rights. It matters even for a clueless user, since the OS mechanisms of detection can't be altered and more much so for a power user.

This specific malware installs a kernel module, as far I can tell. I am guessing it would be harder to encrypt data and not be noticed and removed quickly.

Of course, there are even more obvious reasons, like sharing a computer with... kids that tend to bring malware at every turn.

We really need to educate the devs and change the culture. There's no reason for something like a word processor and file sharing app to require full access to the system. That's why we have access controls in the first place.
What was "disclosed"? The page simply demonstrates some of the remote administrative features of these units.
There's a bit of a problem with that graph: it doesn't show what proportion of the population has children.

All this graph does is capture a point in time. It groups people into "single", "other family", "married w/o kids", and "married w/ kids". The problem is that, for instance, someone who has kids likely is a member of 3, if not all 4, of these groups at some point in his or her life. Most people start out in the "single" group, then go to the "married w/o kids" group, and then finally to the "married w/ kids" group, and then they go back to "single" or "married w/o kids", depending on whether they divorce or stay married but the kids move out. They they might end up in the "other" group in their old age.

The point is, this graph doesn't give you any idea at all what percentage of the population is having children. Not only that, it seems to be incomplete: where are the people who are divorce with either full or partial custody? They don't seem to be accounted for in any group here. That's a huge portion of the population these days! Maybe that's supposed to be covered by the "other" category, but that's such an important grouping that it really should not be relegated to "other", especially since this "other" group doesn't indicate whether there's kids there or not; it could just be cohabitors, people living in poly households, old people living together for convenience, who knows.
As frustrating as other humans are (seriously, you lot ;) ), most of the best things about my life either are other humans or come from other humans.

If my relative effective tax rates are any indication, I'm heavily subsidizing the children of my siblings (not to mention their mortgages). I'm more or less okay with that. My nieces and nephews are fun people, who seem to like their weird single uncle.
I don't believe that any of these will link different Whonix instances on the same host machine. Using Tor browser in the same OS that you use for general work is not secure. Even sharing the same host machine is insecure, where anonymity really matters.

Booting Sage Computer – A Subjective Retrospective
If a manufacturer or distributor sells a bunch of guns off-the-books to a criminal gang, and one of those is then used in a murder, the distributor should be liable in some way.

If there were a proper gun registry and if improper gun use resulted in liability for the last documented owner, it would be much more difficult for criminals to hide the guns’ ownership / distribution history, because distributors and owners would have a strong incentive to properly report sales.

In the system we have now, the gun show / flea market / second-hand sales “loophole” is so wide as to basically render gun licensing and tracking requirements entirely useless. cf. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_show_loophole

Think about the way we currently regulate automobiles. Every automobile has a documented ownership history and registration, and every automobile driver needs to pass a set of tests in order to obtain a license.
This is only true for Intel and AMD x86_64 servers that have hardware accelerated AES with the AES-NI instruction set. Software implementations of AES and the other ciphers are much, much slower than AES with hardware acceleration. RC4 was the fastest decent software cipher for a while, but that has been found to be insecure and its use is discouraged. The fastest possible replacement would probably be ChaCha20, but that cipher is not widely supported yet. The other software ciphers are very slow, and certainly wouldn't be considered as "fast yet".

I agree with you and the person you're responding to, but I also understand where the anti-child-tax people are coming from. I think they come from a good place, which is "I shouldn't pay for optional activities of others" and probably some amount of "why pay for THOSE people's kids who are just a drain on society's resources (and mine personally!)".

But if "those people" (trailer park folk, the uneducated, or whoever else somebody dislikes) are going to have kids, wouldn't we all prefer that they at least get a minimum education, basic nutrition etc. so that we don't push them into being an un-educated, malnourished mob that resents the rest of society?

Public education, welfare, etc. might be broken, but that's a whole other argument.
> everyone's bodies produces opioids naturally

That's one of the dangers of opioids - once external opioids get into the system, it adjusts for them and if they are withdrawn, everything breaks down. Of course, if you are seriously ill, then your other choice - e.g. suffering severe debilitating pain or depression - is worse, so you choose lesser of evils. But that doesn't make opioids something nice and safe.

With alcohol, for most people usage in typical recreational doses is completely safe. I've been using alcohol recreationally for decades without any problems, and so did many people I know. I suspect doing the same with opioids would end very badly (and I'm not inclined to test that hypothesis and don't recommend to anyone).

JavaScript implementation of Bitcoin
I really want to like Haste. It supports nearly all features of GHC, it works with Cabal, it produces small output that can be understood/debugged. Its runtime is only 500 lines of clean javascript. I was able to build a toy app that shared code between client and server and let me use my existing tools to work on it (Hdevtools et al.). For awhile a nice react library was in development for it.

But... its lack of support for TemplateHaskell and native code means that a lot of firewalls/shims are required to share code with likely server programs. There is no support for common library types such as Text and Aeson types - ghcjs has shims for those that build without native dependencies. react-haskell library switched to ghcjs because the Haste ecosystem/development community is non-existent. And I would probably not build a serious project with Haste for the same reason.

ghcjs is nice but...it is too big in so many ways. The runtime footprint for real programs is very large. The complexity of it seems high and it still only has a single dedicated developer. I've heard its performance demands are high - it doesn't seem like something you'd want to run on a phone. It feels too risky to me - Purescript or Typescript is probably what I would go with for a serious project.
