> Isis is a contributor to Tor

Citation? A quick google search is split between "Isis uses Tor" and "Isis is waging war on Tor", with nothing specific to the above claim.

EDIT - never mind, didn't spot that the author's name is Isis. That makes more sense :)
You are totally right that every one used to workflow: google, npm, reading docs, trying to setup new component into project.

The goal of Structor is to give a simpler way - open project, and if you want component try to install it through the market for 10 seconds. The problem - to have big amount of such components. For this I made convenient mechanism for publishing components generator.

BTW, generator can generate only the glue code (which you writing every time after you installed npm) and has the ability to install dependencies from npm automatically.
With both you have to pay for the humans time. Robot cars will be cheaper.

Diamond's electronic and optical properties are far more similar to those of silicon than they are to graphite, graphene, or other forms of carbon. Diamond and silicon are diamond cubic lattices with sp3 hybridization (tetrahedral), graphite and related planar allotropes have sp2 hybridization (triangular).

The rational optimum with no transaction costs[1] would be finding the best investor, and letting him make all the decisions. Everybody else should invest on the index.

Put transaction costs there, and you get an adversarial system. Now the top investors will try to convince the others of their own incompetence. Didn't do the math, but the outcome is probably bad.

Now, fill the market with real humans and irrationality will make sure enough incompetent investors will be active to let a big enough amount of competent ones make a win. Stable again.

I'm really unconcerned about index funds.

I don't want driverless cars because half the time I don't even know where I am going. I routinely drive aimlessly around to discover new locations, listen to music and explore. Could driverless cars be programmed for a "scenic mode" and take me on curated tours by other people? Sure, yeah that might be cool. Though nothing will replace the spontaneity of deciding street by street, if I should go left, right or straight at an intersection; where I should stop to enjoy food or drink in an unfamiliar place; or accidentally discovering a part of town I never knew existed. Driverless cars, to me, feels like a small death in the spirit of human exploration.
> The new mobile web version of Twitter is much faster and better looking than the desktop one.

It's certainly much faster. I'm using it on my netbook which used to run the desktop version equally as fast.

Why can't big development teams think about accessibility as it applies to older hardware? It's clear that it's getting to be a big problem for Twitter let alone other companies (see previous discussions about Bloat)

The only thing I can think of is that the developers use the shiny new hardware and it runs okay for them. Or if the devs want to change, the management and board runs the fast hardware and it's "working for them".
This is something we're able to do too by encouraging people to reapply and tracking how much they've improved between technical interviews. It makes sense for companies to do this too but they don't, mostly because it's never any single person's area of focus.
I bet if you look at polls from the 1990s about the internet, you'll find a lot of people saying they're just fine without it, thank you very much, and they prefer the warm, personal experience of calling up a real human to book their plane tickets or whatever instead of punching their credit card number into some newfangled machine.

But in the end, people went ahead and developed more and more infrastructure for the internet regardless, and now most people couldn't live without it.
The dramatic changes will come when nearly cars are autonomous, and the rules of the road start changing to optimize for computers.

In the meantime, I agree that you can approximate a self-driving car experience pretty closely by ordering an Uber.
The author links to that video in the article, which shows that she's aware of the games that are played.

They're using bully tactics. Did they have to show up on her family's doorstep? No. Did they really have people watching out for her in five cities? No. Was there any reason they couldn't communicate through her lawyer? No. Did they have to speak to her in person? No. Do they have the right to circumvent her legal counsel (or make threats to do so)? No.

They're just playing mind games, like they're trained to do. Spooks gonna spook.
Everything about this assumes the other side is acting in good faith. There are enough examples, and people formerly in the position of the other side saying the same thing, to make it overly risky to assume this. The incentives are not aligned to encourage law enforcement to make society safer, that's just a byproduct of what they are incentivized to do, which is identify people they can arrest and then do so. Usually this is because the person has broken a law, but that logic can be twisted in many ways depending on unscrupulous agents, or agents that wrongly believe they are doing the right thing even though there is no evidence. There are numerous links all along this thread of the now famous talk by a former law enforcement agent about why it's a bad idea to ever talk to law enforcement without a lawyer present. At a bare minimum, never put yourself in a situation where it's your word against the word of law enforcement, whether they are recording or not (they may misplace that recording, for whatever reason).
What a lame article title.

The actual article presents evidence that Americans are getting more comfortable with self-driving cars, and points out that peoples' concerns aren't very valid.

Honestly, I almost didn't read the article because of the title. Fortunately there was a tiny fit of rage in me that clicked to see what the author actually was saying.
It's time we take over the world, no?
The problem there is cost. Even Uber and Lyft are too pricey for most people to rely on them for a daily commute. If autonomous cars drive that cost down to something comparable to bus fare, that's going to cause a major shift in the way people get around.

> The newly opened tab can then change the window.opener.location to some phishing page.

This is true, and is a vulnerability I have been looking at for a while now, though I've not actually seen it exploited yet in the real world. For anyone interested, there are some pretty interesting exploits involving pages where an auth token is in the querystring and thus sent in the referer field by the browser. Also, consider what happens when you use an alert() in javascript to yank context back to the now attacker controlled tab...

> Or execute some JavaScript on the opener-page on your behalf…

Not true, this implies the "attacker" can run javascript in the context of the original page. They can only run javascript after redirecting the original page to one they control, so it's not like they can run code on the facebook.com domain, which would be a _huge_ exploit.
Oberon does'nt have separately written interface and implementation files, although Modula did. In Oberon, an interface file was derived from the implementation file (or from the object file), not written by the programmer.
Yeah, I agree. Making hydrogen, the first step for pretty much any synthetic fuel, is exceedingly inefficient. That means that transmitting electricity long distances is usually going to be much more cost-effective than making liquid fuels.

But I think that as electricity gets cheaper and cheaper, and as fossil fuels have a pigovian tax levied on them, that eventually synthetic or biofuels will be more cost effective than fossil fuels. Electricity is going to get super cheap, and there's going to be times when supply outpaces demand. If the electricity would go to waste otherwise, something that's 40% efficient may be a good use of it.

Upstream fixed the issue a couple days before Xcode 7.3 was released (and didn't even have their story straight about what version actually contained the fix). The fix was available in the 7.3.1 beta less than a month later, so I'm not sure where you get "months" from there.

As for the OpenSSH issues you mention (CVE-0216-0777 and CVE-0216-0778), those were fixed in OS X 10.11.4 months ago.
Two main takeaways here:

1. Community doesn't scale well.

Reddit is a thimbleful of awesome floating in a bucket of shit. As I grow older, the best communities and sources online are small. I love watching youtube videos with less than a thousand views. My favorite sites and communities online I share selectively. They are so easily ruined. The magic is lost so easily (and by people who genuinely enthusiastic about things but, aren't in the same mindset as the people already there).

2. The smart thing financially would have been to let the community die but, he didn't and paid the price

Maybe it's just the internet changing but, he arguably should have just let it die (or rather change into what Reddit eventually became). Metafilter, SomethingAweful, 4Chan and Reddit all suffer from the reality of very few people creating and the vast majority consuming.
I think you're right: the gap between Ragel and what you want in higher-level languages is too wide to make a stack out of it IMO.

I'm working on what I consider a parsing stack. The key observation, in my opinion, is that you need a way of representing structured data in the high-level language that is both rich and efficient. I think Protocol Buffers can serve that role.

Once you have the structured data representation, you can write parsers to read/write it. But you want the parsers to be independent of how you represent the structured data in any one language.

This. For sure. Most roads will need to be upgraded to 'robo friendly' the little English lanes, hedges either side, one track with passing places (got to do a lot of reversing or bumping up the hedge to get past.) These will all be tricky for robots to navigate.

The stats were driven by the "Vehicle Hacking Vulnerability Survey". " How do you feel about autonomous or self-driving vehicles?" was asked alongside questions like "How big of a problem do you feel vehicle hacking will be in the future?"

If the questions were "How safe a driver is your 75yo mother?" or "Do you think autonomous cars will increase or decrease deaths caused by drunk driving?" the survey might have shown different results.

> $50K is ludicrously high for an early UBI implementation.

Sure, I was just picking a number. Let's say it's $5K per person? $25K? (Not sure how it works with families with kids).

> actual UBI proposals are redistributive

Honest question: is there actually that much in the system without requiring massively raising taxes? A quick look at http://www.heritage.org/research/reports/2014/12/federal-spe... seems to show the Federal Budget is maybe 75% social programs in a broad sense, so I assume that's the money that would ultimately get retargeted. Is that enough to give everyone in the US a living income? And I don't mean in the early implementation but 20 years in when it's humming along as envisioned.

> these increases will generally be less, proportionally, than the increase in income.

How can that be when everyone would be making more money because UBI is added to their income as well. All labor costs would rise for everything. Everyone can't suddenly have more money and all want to go on a cruise without cruise prices increasing to the point that the same number of people that can afford it now will afford it then.

I just don't see anyway this works at scale. It only works temporarily but once things hit equilibrium, we're back when we started.

That's one of the very first things fast food did. It got rid of waiters and other floor staff, and the complex series of customer interactions.

Automating away the human in the order process removes a way to speed up the process. Modern registers are complex enough to require training. Untrained, possibly illiterate customers using them while decision-making? That's bad news.
In Henry Ford's (apparently apocryphal) words, “If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses.” One is reminded of how much preferences can change when faced with options they couldn't previously imagine, every time one hears of grimly determined "in-control" rush hour commuters.
So they're not very good car washes.

I think the success of driverless cars will depend on the experience. If the cars are incredibly slow/cautious and you look like a segway riding dork but just inside a glass cage.. then I don't think it works.

We'll probably see automated driver only roads, which allow a separate mode to be used where the AI can assume (or at least assume with much more certainty) that the other drivers are AI, and optimize accordingly. Shorter gap distances, higher speeds, etc. As long as human drivers are allowed on a particular segment of road, AI will always have to be somewhat more cautious, as the risk is still too high.
> How does a brain built on statistics decide that this is the most rational course of action?

The article suggests that humans have an innate means of determining confidence in a particular hypothesis based on evidence. Why does this imply they act rationally?
I'd say lets cross that bridge when we get there. Solar is a very long way from replacing baseload power.

And once baseload power starts getting "replaced", we enter the realm of coal plants and nuclear plants reconditioning themselves so that they can be scaled up and down a bit better.

I know both coal and nuclear power require many minutes to change their energy production, but if a smaller-scale energy storage (~30 minutes) can be created to hold out during the scaling up / down period, the problem could be solved.

As opposed to say, load-shifting pure solar energy (which requires a storage capacity measured in hours, not minutes). High power / low time can be solved with standard Lead Acid batteries or maybe Flywheels (cheaper technology than Lithium Ion, which would be better for hours of storage)
C Python uses ref counting, whereas Node/V8 uses GC. Ref counting schemes generally use much less memory and GC scans can be expensive when there's a lot of new data, as is the case for a web server.
Lone Shark Games – Our Boycott of USA Today and Universal Uclick
I watched my father die of cancer when I was in my early 20s. He went through a bone marrow transplant -- twice. The first time he was sick and it was hard, but he was cancer free for a few months and managed to walk me down the aisle at my wedding. When the cancer came back, he had very little chance of surviving. He opted for full blown treatment, against everyone's recommendations (and my mother's wishes). His body was still weakened from the first transplant, and the cancer grew resistant. Those had been the worst 6 months of my life. In the end, they sent him home. He looked about 80 years old, with thin skin and a frail frame.

A few days later he passed in what I found to be the most humiliating and painful few days. After I watched him die, I promised myself I would never let my kids see me die that way -- petrified and feeble.
I hadn't realized it then, but the child I made that promise for was barely one when I got my diagnosis. The odds were not in my favor, but I wanted nothing more than to give her a mother.

I decided to risk everything and be treated. I spent what could have been the last months of my life in a hospital, too sick to see her. As my oncologist told me -- I was losing one year to save the rest. Best risk of my life. She's almost eight and has a one year old brother. Life is good.

Good luck to you. The world is filled with miracles. Your attitude will be the most important thing your children remember. Keep loving them.
