There's actually very good models for inflation. They're basically the models the entire global macro economy is run on. They about as good as weather models, and sometimes they don't work well, but they're generally pretty good at this point.

e.g. When the Fed raises and lowers rates, it's using inflationary models to inform that decision. With a desired goal of sustainable and controlled minor inflation.

We had at least 6 articles about bitcoin in the front page in the last 3 days and only 1 of them was about anything technical or factual. So yes, that's propaganda.
To elaborate on the above a bit, for me the choice between Jim Tcl and the "big" Tcl 8.x comes down to choosing between vendoring the dependencies and embedding the runtime (Jim Tcl) vs. using the distribution libraries and extending the runtime (Tcl 8).

Either way you get a very fine C library that prevents you from succumbing to Greenspun's tenth rule, so I can only recommend it for most C programs and libraries of sufficient size and complexity.

They're not wasting money in showing me that ad, its cost is negligible. They're wasting the money they could have made by showing me a relevant ad. For example, there's tons of books I might be interested in buying, and they might be able to extract that information from my browsing habits. It would be an advantage for me as well, to get suggestions about things I might be interested in.

Showing me nail varnish ads when I already told google that I want to buy some is not even advertising, it's just paid search.

Why ultimate flexibility is essential for every system
> But images and videos are byte streams already...

Right, but the reason for this bug (and many others) is the mingling of the data bytestream and the command channel (the arguments for the call to wget).

> The whole point is to sandbox the deserialization only, which has a large attack surface due to complex conditionals and string handling.

I don't think that would help. Your sandboxed deserializer deserializes the video file into an inert datastructure. But then you go to system() to wget based on that datastructure and you're pouring commands and data into a flat stream. That architecture won't stop you from parsing a bunch of unix commands as image bytes and then passing those "image bytes" on the command line.
You're correct. However for Rank Tracking these types of queries aren't needed.

Yes, it reads to me like they were just being polite. The first couple sentences make it clear they think /dev/urandom is the right tool for "daily tasks" and that the man page is misleading people into thinking otherwise.

They begin with the most indisputable ways the man page is insufficient, as a way of starting the conversation -- which was never taken up.

Perhaps an actual patch would have been just accepted? Maybe the problem is the issue-submitter assumed there was someone on the other end who understood the kernel features and was interested in discussing making the man pages better.
MRelief W16 Nonprofit Is Hiring a Web Developer
Users of languages can't be expected to. Therefore the language designers and maintainers themselves, especially if they're working on the stdlib, should do so, IMO. It's not only education for a proficient programmer, it helps to understand the underlying system you're building on and it's security assumptions.

The random char device code isn't that hard to understand, and if you're not a strong C programmer (the Ruby-core people are good C programmers, I suppose) - there's a paper explaining how it works: https://eprint.iacr.org/2012/251.pdf

The test I use to understand most "but with Bitcoin!" ideas is simple: imagine the application "but with dollars".

In this case, 21 isn't using Bitcoin is some way that makes it substantially different than what could already be done. If a person wanted to, they could create an API marketplace just like this, and charge 1 cent, or fractions of a cent, per transaction. Rather than turn your computer into a bitcoin mining botnet node, you load your account with a larger credit card payment to pay for it. Meanwhile, the marketplace collects the fees and distributes it to the various API owners' accounts, which can then be withdrawn once the account reaches some threshold, say $5.

Here, 21 is essentially doing the same thing. Although they discuss being able to do on-chain or off-chain transactions, putting a tx on the blockchain for every $0.01 zipcode lookup is completely ridiculous and the success of such an application would essentially gridlock the blockchain, so accomplishing these types of micropayments has to be done off-chain. They're ultimately acting as a middle man between payer and payee, just like most fiat marketplaces are.

21's strategy doesn't seem terrible if you make a lot of assumptions about what role Bitcoin will play in our future. I personally think they're substantially off-base and that a world where devices have to constantly mine Bitcoin and send and receive micropayments to accomplish trivial things seems like more of a burden than a benefit.

I should also say that you have to think quite a bit about what 21 is doing and make a lot of additional assumptions on their end in order to even say their strategy looks good. So far, they've released a very expensive Raspberry Pi with a hideous miner attached to it and this API marketplace where their featured API is a $0.01 zipcode lookup. I've been working on a side-project that requires me to do lookups on zipcode data and it took me all of 10 minutes to download that for free from the internet and drop it into a database. I get that they're trying to ship, but why no ship with something people would actually want to use?

Are you sure making things wider actually makes it easier to read? Very long lines have make it hard for your eyes to track the start of the next line when you've reached the end of one. This is backed up by solid research, and is the main reason why books, magazines and a lot of websites have the width that they do.
Last i checked Facebook does not have the authority to arrest, kill, put people in cages.. these are all things a governments do to citizen their violate their laws.

So no facebook censoring telegram is aboslutely nothing like a government doing anything.

It is extremely ignorant to ever compare a companies action to a government actions. A person can stop using (or never start like me) facebook, a person can not quit their government, or refuse their government ...
Of all the things that might happen, users going directly to websites rather than through google/facebook is by far the least likely.

Whats more likely to happen is that someone will come along with better search with less advertising (just like Google did), or someone might build a better social network with less advertising (just like facebook did). There's as much precidence for these things reoccurring as there is for users increasingly searching rather than using the url bar.
A few comments on this:

1) The company might be better off capping their impressions to you.

2) The company might be better off focusing on setting their remarketing pixels further down the funnel (unless you entered their funnel as part of the process).

3) How do you reasonably expect the company to treat you differently than they do actual leads? I'll assume the majority of traffic that goes to their website is interested in their services and not researching for a job interview, so unless there is some way they could reasonably figure out you're not interested and exclude you, I don't think what's happening here is that wrong. Marketing to people who already visited your site is almost certainly going to be worth more money to advertisers who are prospecting based solely on your interests.

I'm surprised people are so negative here about ping pong tables and such.

In my experience, it's true. It does build culture. In our case, Foosball is a place were employees can bond with each other that transcends business boundaries. Marketing and engineering people both like Foosball - same can not be said for a lot of other extracurriculars.

We even hold tournaments during company time that at least 3/4 of the company chooses to play in.

When you are spending at least 1/3 of your time every day with the same people, I think it is healthy for you to occasionally do something together that is not work. I assume the people here who head straight home also have never gone out after work for drinks with their co-workers or gone to a sports game with them, or anything like that. Foosball and ping pong provide an opportunity to do that.

In fact, as a manager I often challenge my team members to a game of foosball when I get a sense something isn't right and it gives me an opportunity to chat with then 1:1 without feeling like an intervention.

Should you buy a $1300 foosball table when your company is not making money? IMHO, absolutely not. But if you have a good sales month, go for it. I'd rather be in a company where people get to know each other than one where everyone sits quietly at their desk all day and leaves just as quietly at the end.

Then again, I hold a different world view than some other people. I think that a FU money exit is unlikely for most, and getting a four hour a day job without a pay cut is unlikely for most, so if you're going to spend 1/3 of your life at work, a fair measure of success is if you can actually be happy while you are in the office.
It's not meaningless for new gen apps which trade a lot of db request for message passing. In micro-services app, when you update something, you propagate the change, and you have x client update for one db requests instead of having x + 1 db requests. In that context, broacasting quickly to a lot of clients is important.
OK that's fair enough, and no offense intended. If I see someone with <10K karma, no name or link in their profile, and I don't recognise the handle, then I take everything they say with a pinch of salt.

Where I live, there is no structural vacancies at the low end of the market. In markets like that, unless you believe that UBI will cause a net reduction in the number of households, those landlords will experience an increase in demand, not a reduction.

In markets with structural vacancies (more units available for rent than households wanting to rent them), you might see of the migration effect you describe due to increased mobility.

(To be clear, I believe that UBI will cause an increase in household formation, not a decrease.)

> One would think curing cancer ought to be amongst humanity's greatest concerted challenges.

One of the reasons "curing cancer" is so difficult is that cancer itself is not really one disease but many, with diverse causes and treatments. What works for one kind cancer doesn't work for another, so some kinds are fully curable and others unstoppable, with of course many in between. New research tends to chip away at variations of the disease without being able to cure it wholesale. If you're interested in the recent history of cancer and cancer medicine, the book "The Emperor of All Maladies" is a fascinating treatment of the subject.

Not with the same quality nor with the same consistency.

While there are some great bloggers that might cover this, it's usually people that are starting to do that to have an "head start" while waiting to be able to do that full time.

Most bloggers also still run ads to offset some of their costs and they usually provide commentary of news that are reported by more traditional news outlet.

Without those incentive I don't see many bloggers, especially intelligent and high quality one that will keep going or that will be able to have the system in place o handle an "internet hug" by a site like reddit or hackernews.

It's a problem, but the nature of the problem varies a lot from country to country. In the Netherlands, we don't have enough renewables yet for this to be an issue (~10%). Once you start getting to Germany's penetration, you start to see some issues with balancing the grid and meeting peak demand. There are more options than just storage, though.

Demand side response is already used in industry to regulate electricity demand and smooth peaks. Smart meter penetration will allow utilities to do this more and more in the residential sector too.

Supergrids are also starting to emerge and indeed, some large grid companies are pushing hard for international interconnects. (China wants a supergrid). Countries are building out more and more HVDC interconnects, both across borders and within countries. Once you have a network of utility scale renewable sources across multiple countries, meeting peak demand becomes more a matter of coordination between grids. Europe for example, is looking like a very interesting area for this right now with planned interconnects between North Africa and Southern Europe.

Since we're all citing employment, I work for a renewable energy company :)

"How many hosts are there in a /23 network?"

Having interviewed a lot of sysadmins, I see this trip people up, mostly because the slash/bits network notation isn't taught/documented well. The "memorize a table" approach seems to be common.

Most of them, with a bit of prompting, get that an ipv4 is 32 bits, and that a /23 means (32-23==9) 9 bits of host addresses. Most also can figure out what 111111111 is. Some remember to account for the network and broadcast address not being available for hosts.

Sooooo, what you're saying is that a significant number of families are currently together for economic rather than emotional / social reasons? I (a) find that somewhat difficult to believe and (b) find that somewhat troubling if true. (disclaimer: I'm in a love-filled marriage and my partner and I have decided to have no children)

Honestly, I'd rather see families split up, if by "split up" you mean "find independence from someone with whom you do not want to spend your life". There's levels here- children are a responsibility that someone needs to shoulder (and emphatically not just Mom), but if the alternative right now is being trapped economically in an emotionally traumatic relationship, that's not good either.
