As someone with the last name of Carp, I agree you shouldn't eat me! :p

(I had to make the joke,sorry)

I want to agree with you about "dumb bad luck." Unfortunately, your description of why turns the science question gears in my head if there is an epigenetic or genetic or a mixture of both (especially since this appears to be X linked? testoterone level linked? something along those lines?) What about maleness matters that leaves women nearly unaffected? Are there certain men more likely to be affected given that sushi has been around for like 30 years in the west, in some places longer, and the rates haven't risen dramatically yet.

And while on the surface it sounds like you have an awesome family tree, many people's families underdiscuss their family health in their family trees (mine is unusual in that we don't). In some cases old documents are misunderstood in terms of cause of death (eg: consumption used to be a thing) I don't know your family dynamics well, especially 5 generations back. Having an actual copy of your DNA in a database (and having a copy of your medical records in a super ideal world in safety deposit box for when they are older for essentially the same reason), basically ensures against questions later.

besides, you also have no idea what good genes/epigenetics that you never got to take advantage of that got passed down. Same probability principles hold, and as overall sequencing costs go down for the general population, there will be research in that area as well, and they might be interested in that as well

And you should really tweet about the fish - I actually didn't know about the parasite :/

From the press release: "In education, AI has the potential to help teachers customize instruction for each student’s needs."

Does anybody actually do that? Most "online education" still seems to be canned lectures. There was work on this from the 1960s to the 1990s, but efforts seem to have stalled.[1] There are drill-and-practice systems, but they're really just workbooks with automatic scoring.

Both Kenji's words and the generalizations and labels used in the article are not true representations of people. People don't fall into nice neat boxes. Every programmer and gamer does not hate women, and every feminist does not tell other people what to do.

I find both of these generalizations useless and misleading, although the article is more interesting because it provides actual details and gives the reader a chance to take away what he/she chooses. Kenji's comment is simply inflammatory.

Yes (though unlike traditional third party intermediaries, there is no third party custodian for money you receive, meaning you don't have to trust 21 to not steal/freeze funds you've received). The innovative component of this that Bitcoin brings to the table is that the payment system linking the users to the developers is open/non-proprietary, with no registration walls encumbering usage.

One benefit of 21's API billing model is lower transaction fees. If the dev only uses $2 of API fees, using a service like Stripe would eat up 18% of the income.

Another benefit is that when you do net-30 usage based billing, you always have to be concerned that the card might be maxed out or invalid by the time the bill gets charged. With 21, you can be sure that the bill will get paid since the Bitcoin is locked up in escrow until the transaction is processed.

Thanks!
There is another way - minute by minute pricing. Much of the electric power usage is not required to be right now, and can be deferred - running the refrigerator, A/C, hotwater heater, dishwasher, charging the car, etc. With real time spot pricing information available, the deferrable usages can be deferred until the spot price is cheap.

I bet this could even out demand quite a bit.

With the current flat rate pricing structure, there is no incentive whatsoever to shift demand to blunt spikes.
Can you provide a demonstration for why this is adequate? It seems like it might still possible to get single quotes in the input to be interpreted by the shell by putting a backslash in the input.

Entrenching authoritarianism should NOT be the next big thing.

Compulsory basic income requires throwing people who refuse to hand over currency they receive in private trade in prison, where they are kept in small enclosures, and often develop mental illness, and suffer physical and sexual abuse. Techies should not support such a dark, authoritarian vision for the future.

I really don't understand why there needs to be a newly forked router firmware project every few years. Back in my day, we used DD-WRT, and it worked.
Actually, I'd say that issue/bug filed two years ago _does_ make a strong case that the current man page is insufficient, that it's actually the current man page that's full of ambiguous language and "weasel words".

But you may make a good point that perhaps nobody has submitted a good patch yet -- you're right that issue isn't a good patch, just an invitation to enter into a discussion toward one (an invitation that doesn't seem to have been taken up, at least on the issue tracker).

One would hope that the actual maintainers of the kernel subsystems would feel responsibility to improve a clearly insufficient man page. Which makes me suspect there are some underlying politics or personality conflicts going on. (Or just burn-out?)

But if all it needs is someone to write some good text -- is it really the case that none of the cryptographers who have been writing extensive blog posts about this for years care to submit a doc patch? If so, I wonder why?

Perhaps, just guessing, another potential issue is that nobody really wants to _take responsibility_ for such text, in case they make a mistake. So the existing clearly insufficient text remains. Tragedy of the open source commons?

You totally should. I think people are hungry for a next gen async web framework... And if it leverages Python 3, then so much the better. Flask cannot go here even if it wants because its core philosophy is to be WSGI compliant. You don't necessarily have to adhere to that.

Just one point, please make sure you have designed DB access as a core part of your framework (e.g. [1]). Too many frameworks discount database interaction until it's too late.

This was a Steve Jobs obsession from his first calligraphy class at Reed College. Proper proportional fonts were built in with the original Macintosh - this wasn't something he was going to do a market analysis on to decide for him.

I don't think it's reasonable to expect they already know that. Whether they should educate themselves... that's up for discussion I guess. The maintainer here effectively says: I read the docs and don't see a reason for a change; if the docs are wrong, prove it by changing them, if there's a bug in dependency handle the issue there.

It's not the best solution, but if I ignored everything I know about this issue, I think it's a reasonable maintainer's approach.
Living on money taken by force from others is an easy solution, but it is not an ethical one. If you feel like you have a reason to kill yourself, you need to find someone to talk to about this, not look to the government, and the fruits of its authority, for your salvation. It's not lack of resources that makes someone suicidal. It's a deficiency in your ability to address the challenges you face in your life.

Again: the solution is to talk to someone. There are many who go through what you do, and there are many people out there who can help. You're not alone.
Yep! In this case, I think you end up constructing, slightly more specifically, the isogeny whose kernel is exactly the cyclic subgroup generated by the point R (i.e., phi(S) is 0 iff S is a power of R). There are explicit formulas ("Vélu's formulas") that let you compute an isogeny from its kernel. Looks like the paper goes into some depth about how to do that computation efficiently, and how to ensure that you choose a cryptographically suitable point R.

> trying to generate a large volume of random numbers in parallel on multiple cores

You may be better off just using rdrand directly in this case depending on the throughput required. AFAIK you should be able to saturate all logical threads generating random numbers with rdrand and the DRNG (digital RNG) still won't run out of entropy.

Or as I also suggested look into expanding /dev/urandom output using a ChaCha20 instance like what BoringSSL does (which also combines it with rdrand since it's fast).
Not sure -- I was asking in earnest (although competing cc's like ethereum come to mind). Just wondering if there is not a way to hook up payments to APIs using existing infrastructure and currencies.
Problem is that when you sell your users to advertisers, it's reducing the value of your service in the users mind.

I value websites with heavy advertising to be less attractive to me and less valuable. As more users get turned off, the websites will be able to get less money from advertisers.

It can become a snowball effect that kills a service.
Q: "Ah but how would you enable it in Windows Server 2012/2016 Core editions?" / A: "PowerShell and Google, not necessarily in that order"

(Of course, Bash and Google would be the equivalent in *nix-land, so, maybe not that great an answer...)

Taking it more seriously, well, I'm not a sysadmin, I'm more of a developer (usually on Mac) with a passing interest in Windows servers. But here's my list: at least one question could relate to knowing any advanced Windows terms they might come across in a sysadmin context, like VHDs, different types of installers/drivers, differences between client, server, core, nano editions of Windows. Bonus points if they know of Git, Nuget or Chocolatey? Oh, and they're good in my books if they know about Microsoft Virtual Academy and Channel 9, especially the early Scoble days ;-) I do like the direction Microsoft's been going lately...
It would reduce the supply of highly skill labour, which would reduce the amount of goods/services produced, and as a consequence, the amount of wealth the world gets to consume. You're making the 'lump of labour fallacy' in assuming that someone will just take his stop with no loss.

Cool! Very nice project. I wrote some similar iMessage related clients here:

And I have some more iMessage related projects on my GitHub as well. Hopefully these projects give you or others some more ideas for iMessage related stuff
Well for anything that is fundamental, and getting more of it if demand is different than supply is difficult or impossible, will be traded on a futures market.

If you believe that China is going start a bunch of building projects as a way of pumping up their GDP, you know that the supply of rebar, used in all concrete projects, is rate limited. And you know it takes months for a foundry to start producing rebar from the time the owner says "We should make more rebar, go" until the salable product hits the streets "Here you are boss!". So in those months between "go" and "deliver" there will be a shortage, which, if you own a contract for delivery at a reasonable price, you can "flip" for a nice profit.
Cammy.com | Sydney, Australia | Onsite

Process is one telephone call and two onsite interviews.

At Cammy, we’re committed to using the latest technology to make the world a safer place for you, your family and your business.
Our product is a simple and affordable security solution and general monitoring platform that allows you to keep an eye on your home, kids and pets, Cammy provides peace of mind wherever you are.
Integrated into your daily life through your mobile device, Cammy is a well funded Sydney based technology driven start-up. We’re currently 40(ish) software, marketing and operations people and we’re looking for one more to join us as a Devops/Automation/Tool builder.

You’re an accomplished Engineer, you love to tinker, to build stuff. You look at manual tasks as a chronic waste of time, you look around at available tools and try to break them, thinking all along that you could do a better job, if only you had the time.
You look at most “devops” think pieces and job ads requiring System Engineers that are also Puppeteers, Chefs and Docker wearers and think “they just don’t get it…” You genuinely see Devops as a philosophy, bringing together “ops”, “dev” and “test” into a single unified mentality - building great products!
Here’s what we want and need to see from you to know you can do the role:

* You’re a Devops philosopher, ready to lambast anyone that maintains that just running Jenkins, Chef, Hudson etc. is devops.
* You’re a tool builder, you love combining, testing out and if necessary building our new tools
* You know your way around an API - how they work, what questions to ask and how to make sure they have a firm footing
* You’ve built test automation solutions before, you know how to get the most out of automated testing, not just “I’ve used Selenium”
* You’re a scripter (Former Developers would be awesome too!) - Python/Ruby etc. but we won’t hold you to just those
* You’re interested in being part of a wider team, we hold monthly tech talks internally, you’d be keen to contribute
* You’re not a jerk

I ran strace on both OpenJDK 7 and 8. It appears to open both /dev/random and /dev/urandom, but it only read from /dev/urandom. From reading the source code, it appears that /dev/random is used if you call SecureRandom::generateSeed, but /dev/urandom is used for SecureRandom::next.

Of course, you can change a whole heck of a lot of stuff by setting properties on the command line or changing $JAVA_HOME/lib/security/java.security.

There are pros and cons to adding new tools. Each situation is different and would ideally be decided by all the effected team members. It depends on the team, existing tools, product, whether it is released yet or not, and a myriad of other things.

An engineer could install whatever he likes on his own machine or VM in his free time, if he has any. If other engineers have a problem with that, then like gay marriage and abortion, that is their problem. Similarly, if an engineer installs software willy-nilly on a production machine that has active users, I think we can all see how that is unreasonable. So the debate comes down to the in-between grey areas. Without being in the moment, none of us can comment on it towards any real conclusion.
Why Fiat Chrysler Is the Perfect Partner for Google on Autonomous Cars
It's disastrous due to game theory dynamics that apply to all large societies. It will always be disastrous.

The spontaneous order of an unregulated, freely configured economy, is the only way to utilize the vast volume of knowledge that is diffused throughout the population. Protection of private property and market rights is the absolute best way to both allocate capital for maximum economic returns, and maximize incentives for productive activity.

> Why? Because at some point it was realized complete lack of central economic planning is disastrous.

There is absolutely no evidence to suggest that was the reason. You're making a reckless leap of logic to rationalize and justify authoritarianism (central economic planning).

mt19937 (or preferably SFMT¹) is a great library (and fine for cryptographic purposes if you have a sufficiently random entropy source with which to seed it, and reseed it frequently from your entropy source), but you still have to seed it somehow which is where /dev/(u)random comes in. So it really doesn't solve anything.
