One thing that would be helpful for those looking to write scripts is to use crates which provide a higher level API. So for example, the text-io crate wraps up the lower-level standard library interface to make it easier to use, though it gives you much less control over errors.

Due to Rust's low-level nature, we've focused on the low-level stuff first: the higher-level APIs can then be built on top. I think this kind of thing would be more helpful to you than actual language improvements in many cases.
Huh? Japan's workforce is among the most expensive in the world. There's a reason Japanese automakers have opened assembly plants in the USA and Mexico: the labor's cheaper.

Korea isn't all that cheap either, probably roughly equivalent to the US.
We don't need more research to answer most questions on what to eat - eating real food, namely plants, prevents diabetes, atherosclerosis, etc. When doctors do tell people to eat plants people usually don't listen.

I think Doctors need to be better trained, Americans need to completely rethink nutrition and health (I can't speak for other countries), government needs to help inform people, and laws about marketing food may need to be changed.

In addition further research could help, but in my opinion nutrition is a solved problem, eat real food and avoid meat and processed junk.

My opinion is based on how little my friends in the medical profession and/or training know about nutrition and the book How Not to Die which focuses on how diet affects deadly diseases.

> Passwords have been interpreted to be testimonial because they require someone to tell authorities information in their mind.

That's not true. They've been interpreted to be testimonial because they are a part of a chain of events that results in the production of incriminating evidence that the prosecution isn't otherwise independently aware of. If the prosecution can't say "he has plans for the bomb on his laptop, I saw a photo of a detonator before he closed the lid", they can't force you to disclose the password to go looking for it.

Somehow I'm doubtful that, using 60's-era technology, many non-trivial data structures and algorithms could be proven safe in a mechanized way. As for trusting a programmer's word, it's probably better than trusting a non-programmer's, but enabling unsafe code is still fundamentally a social hack. While you can work around technical problems by social means, this will never constitute a ultimately satisfactory solution.

Of course countries can be criticized. There are so many wrong things here that I wouldn't even learn where to begin prioritizing the list of criticisms.

Things are getting better, we've managed to get ourselves out of the U.N. Hunger and Misery map. This is a victory, and not a small one. The past 12 years it has been the very first time in 500 years where there are no people starving to death.

Still, the problem of Brazil is not that "it is a poor country" or "it has poor areas" like others portray in a simplistic view. As you said, it brews out of a self-perpetuating wealth inequality where the gap keeps enlarging as rich get richer.

We'll always find things to criticize and still advances are made by focusing efforts on solving the very problems we surface with our criticisms.

"Soon the scale hit 265. Mr. Cahill started weighing and measuring his food again and stepped up his exercise. He got back down to 235 to 240 pounds. But his weight edged up again, to 275, then 295.

His slow metabolism is part of the problem, and so are his food cravings. He opens a bag of chips, thinking he will have just a few. “I’d eat five bites. Then I’d black out and eat the whole bag of chips and say, ‘What did I do?’”"

The article is light on the details post-TBL, but it sounds like recidivism in terms of diet is probably a major root cause of weight gain. Also, maybe it's hard to tell whether they're doing steady-state cardio or high-intensity interval training (steady-state cardio has been shown to paradoxically cause weight gain in people). In any case, it sounds like they need more guidance and check-ins post-show.

> Because it wasn't an economic criteria, you've also got countries like Angola in the First World by the original defintion.

No, you didn't. Angola was never both a country and part of the First World (Portugal was part of the First World when the term was coined, and Angola was part of Portugal then; when Angola became independent, the regime was Cuban-backed and Soviet-allied, and thus it was part of the Second World.)
Good chance you are right about that.

Unless whatsapp did something to wreck their competition in Brazil, any effective monopoly they possess is by virtue of people choosing to use their system over other systems.

This sort of effective monopoly cannot and ought not be stopped unless the monopoly power is abusing their position. And how would you when it's a choice people have made? Mandate that every 5th person mustn't use WhatsApp?
Judges just go fuck yourself.
It's an interesting question for sure. There are issues of consent which, especially for poor or marginalized people, should be addressed. Like Henrietta Lacks...

I think in this case and others like it the family, at minimum, has a right to know.
"...it was not until 1973, when a scientist called to ask for blood samples to study the genes her children had inherited from her, that Ms. Lacks’s family learned that their mother’s cells were, in effect, scattered across the planet. Some members of the family tried to find more information. Some wanted a portion of the profits that companies were earning from research on HeLa cells. They were largely ignored for years."

It sounds like it worked like we want, kind of! The work days should be more interactive than what you experienced, I think. The really good ones seem to be super busy for the first 4 hours, with 3-4 existing employees interacting. The latter half is frequently quiet if people are on the right track.

I can guess which position you were going through the process for, and it's something that we've been talking about a lot.

One thing we've noticed is that even when it's not perfect, the process we have helps a lot. You had an imperfect work day, but got a good idea of what the actual work is like. I'd rather you have a perfect workday though.
Freeloaders & moochers are making everything more exclusive, expensive and pretentious?

How does that work? More importantly, if they have it so nice, why don't get what you're due and start freeloading?
If you're aware of Rust's `try!()` macro for error handling, its functionality is being elevated into the language via the new `?` operator, which, in addition to being less verbose, will make for better error messages and also allow us to potentially extend the error propagation to types other than `Result` (such as `Option`). This feature is currently in nightly waiting to be stabilized, and the compiler codebase itself has been converted to use it: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/32390

There's also a huge overhaul to compiler error message formatting that should make error messages friendlier and more informative, and should hopefully be landing in nightly sometime today: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/32756 .

Also, part of the same work that is enabling non-lexical lifetimes (MIR, discussed here last week: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11581681 ) is also going to enable incremental recompilation of Rust code, which should have a dramatic effect on turnaround time when developing code, as you'll spend enormously less time waiting for things to compile.
NSI-189 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NSI-189) is starting to look like a potentially big game changer in antidepressants. It's a novel drug that (to my understanding) works in a way that's different from any other drugs.

It would be more efficient if everyone got a little cart as soon as they got in line where they can put their shoes, belts, laptops, etc. Then when you get to the x-ray, the whole cart is inserted. The slow down is always at the point where people are taking out all their stuff. And maybe add some courtesy, unstaffed metal detectors along the route to the checkpoint so you get a heads up metal stuff is in your pockets.

However, I think locked cockpit doors and air marshals have solved most of the airline problems (versus security screening). Also, pre-9/11 most people assumed those hi-jacking planes had some demands and then everyone would be let go without harm. No one thinks that anymore, so passengers will fight.

Therein lies the rub. What's "legal" does not always mean it's right.

To hide behind "it's legal" to me is harmful to humanity as ofttimes the law is behind the curve, we can and should be better.
You are assuming, just like the judge. That is not correct, you should trust in the company when they say that. The hole world works as that, trust. A judge cannot assume that they have that data, because they don't. This judge just dont have any tech acknowledge, thats the problem, people that dont understand what they are doing.
BTW, its not End-to-end encryption related, is just that they dont store that data in anywhere.

My understanding is that IPFS is bittorrent + blockchain mashed together (I've read the tech specs, it's more complicated but will have to suffice as a explanation device here). The bittorrent part certainly has redundancy when the data is widely accessed, it's just not guaranteed to be.

Project Cybersyn is interesting as a kind of alternate-history thought experiment, but imo it's not that useful as an example to study historically to learn empirical lessons from, because of how early it was canceled (due to military coup). It was first proposed in mid-1971, with design and prototyping starting in 1972, and Allende was overthrown in 1973, when it was still at a prototype stage. If it had run for a few more years, there would've been a lot more to go on.

This ruling makes end-to-end encryption illegal where, a service provider at no time holds the keys to decrypt messages between communicating parties. This is a protocol decision and since the Snowden revelations, a point of concern for civil libertarians. The Apple v FBI debate is a child of these exact concerns. The idea that governments want to legislate unfettered access to private communications and devices should be met with skepticism and public scrutiny that this Brazilian case will hopefully provide.
I completely agree with you. HDI is a much better index and measurement. This is actually what we use in social programs here.

The GDP comment I made is that this is not a "poor country", it is instead a country full of wealth inequality and self-perpetuating bad distribution of opportunities where poor people are being kept poor due to having no access to infrastructure and opportunities.

It is a very complex situation and all expressions such as "poor-3rd-world" or "seventh gdp economy" are all reductionist and shallow compared to what is really happening.

I've lived in this area for a long time, and through several bubbles, and this is nothing new.

- The bay area has a handful of thriving industries creating a lot of wealth, in a country with a stagnant economy, so people come here for opportunity, our population is growing.

- Existing property owners are resistant to change, and they're "locked in", price increases don't affect them. They don't want those new dense apartments or the new stores. Prop 13 really locks in housing costs, allowing these people to check out of the equation forever. The net result is rampant NIMBY-ism, and housing gets built at only the state mandated minimum of development.

- Lower income people get priced out. Those in the first two groups I mentioned above don't see this as a problem, but this forces people to commute longer distances, leading to the horrible traffic problems. Housing and traffic go hand in hand. The commute makes the cost of hiring help of any sort more expensive, driving up prices.

This is all a vicious cycle of selfishness, basically. It's nobody specific, just society overall. Everyone wants "theirs" and once they have it, they don't care about people who are still struggling. We should feel fortunate to live in such a thriving area, and accept that our neighbors may want to build apartments or shops. That's the price of living in economic prosperity. If you want the opposite, move to a rust belt state.

When I buy a new cell phone my Whatsapp conversation history is lost but my Facebook message history is not. It's likely that Whatsapp discards the messages from their servers immediately after they confirm it has arrived to destination (the two check marks).

If the communication was made a long time ago, Whatsapp may no longer have it, encrypted or not.
WhatsApp publicly stated[1] in testimony before the Brazilian Congressional Committee on Cyber Crimes in December 2015 that they do not, and have not ever, retained the content of communications—regardless of E2E or not. Apparently, WhatsApp only retains messages until they are delivered.
