In the climate of political correctness many truths get swept under the table. The west IS Christian in outlook and structure. Its laws, mores,history are all derived from a Greco-Roman tradition filtered through a sieve of Christianity. It may be that some people wish to change the outlook to a philosophy of secularism but note that even this opposition bases its attack against a religous 'enemy'.

Bertrand Russells book -A History of Western Civilization should make very clear to anyone where certain ideas are derived from.

And yes. It may suck to you but the fact is that the perception of westerners is as an alliance of (lapsed!) Christian Nations.
Really interesting. Somebody transcribed this data and found that rents in SF rose on average by 6.6% a year since 1956. He also came up with a formula that shows the factors affecting this. This post ends with a discussion on what can be done about it (TL;DR: not much).
You don't have to upload the key. It also supports the mailvelope browser extension.

Yes, you can revoke the key and publish the revocation. This means that it will be flagged as revoked in the server keys and assuming that senders keep their GPG keybase up to date with server keys, they'll get a warning that this key is out of date. All e-mails already encrypted with the key can still be decrypted though.

As for the second part of your post, you're probably asking about this:

For everyone who (like me) wondered what happened to "Roundcube Next", they released a statement 8 days ago[1] about it. Sounds like they had personal problems getting in the way. Glad to see the project is still alive.

[1] https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/roundcube-next--2#/update...
If you don't use the browser extension you would probably only want to use this feature if you control that Roundcube instance yourself because yes if you upload it to the server and your key gets lost all past and future communication with that key is only as secure as your keys password.
I'd say "honest"
If you generated a revocation certificate, yes, you can revoke it. Otherwise no. The private key is protected (should be) by a password, so even in the event it gets compromised it should be OK.

Encrypted messages from the past are unreadable, unless you have the private key. No private "master" that I know of.

Because lots if not most of the fission products are themselves very unstable, and will be decaying towards more stable isotopes in due course. I doubt this radioactivity was a fraction as dangerous as the criticality excursion he caused (and I'm sure he wasn't in a normal frame of mind after his screwup, which I'm sure he knew could eventually kill him), so it's a hopefully moderate at worst personal harm vs. unique opportunity to collect data trade off.
> The advice not to do astrophotography is meant for the beginner.

My advice is meant for the beginner as well. All the other things you pointed out, well, you need to learn those things for astrophotography, even if you don't have a telescope. Given how many of us have DSLRs, this is something we can start today.

> He essentially advises you not to take part in a tech arms race as a beginner.

I did not advice getting into the arms race either. My advice was on getting started for free. But here's the thing. I did not ignore recent advances in hardware and software (i.e. cameras, smartphones, apps).

Compare the simulated picture of M31 in the article and the one shot with a 50mm kit lens: http://petapixel.com/2014/07/30/sony-a7s-astrophotography-re.... One can do much better with lenses that go to 200mm, which the stock zoom lens on some cameras already do.

If you make huge investments on viewing equipment and try to get into astrophotography later on, it might turn out that your equipment is completely unsuitable. Ignore it at your own peril.

Well, Fira Code, Monoid and Hasklig are quite popular fonts. I personally like arrows and fat arrows, they're so much better than their "composite" versions ( <- -> <= and =>), especially in some monospace fonts where dash is not in the middle vertically. "Shove" symbols ( >>= and <<= ) are also much nicer. The rest is I can live without :-)
To Pimp a Butterfly is an excellent example of a good album. I find it difficult to listen to most of the individual tracks, but the thing as a whole is incredible.
Encryption is also supported via a browser plugin, so it's not necessary to upload the private key to the server. Regarding your questions:
1) yes, you can revoke the key by generating a revocation certificate and publishing it on a public keyserver (of course, your correspondents would need to refresh the public key from the keyserver to know it was revoked, which is something they might not do);
2) sent and received messages from the past, unfortunately, are readable by the person who is in possession of the private key, if such key is not protected by a strong password;
3) yes, you still need the old private key to read the old messages;
4) you can generate a master key (to be kept strictly offline) and several, frequently rotating subkeys for encryption purposes. It's not a silver bullet solution (in the sense that a thief would still have access to all your subkeys, meaning he could read all your messages up to the point the keys are stolen, but it mitigates the damage somehow).

That second one looks a lot more usable. Reminds me of the old Ebay or Amazon homepages back when they were growing really big - lots of links making it easy to find whatever you wanted, maybe not beautiful according to some arbitrary aesthetic but very functional.
Ramez Naam has done lots of research/writing about "learning rates" for power technology. Here's a writeup from late last year on lithium ion batteries: http://rameznaam.com/2015/10/14/how-cheap-can-energy-storage...

There are two different studies, one which shows a 15% and one which shows a 21% learning rate (decreased price due to volume).

One thing that's worth noting is that lithium ion energy density (Wh/kg) has not increased appreciably in the past few years (~200 Wh/kg) - we're probably maxed out w/o switching chemistries. Oxis and Sony are targeting 500 Wh/kg Li-S batteries for 2019/2020, but I'll believe it when I see it - most of the Li-S research is super gee-whiz (lots of coated nanotubes, nanocomposites, etc) but that stuff never tends to make it outside of the labs, and if it does, will be quite expensive.
For those who don't know, this is what's possible without the telescope and the camera you can use for the other photos too:

Immutability? Chess has tens of thousands of books written on all facets of the game. Its strategies have evolved over a period of centuries of study and development by countless players who have since lent their names, cities, or countries to those lines. Now, with the aid of computers, the game evolves at a faster rate than ever. What worked at one tournament may be refuted at the next! Chess is anything but immutable!

Mutliple inheritence can work quite nicely, assuming a reasonable "linearization" algorithm that decides what order `super` should use when walking up the class hierarchy, so that no method needs to worry about calling into multiple parent classes. The last I looked at the research, the gold standard for linearization was the C3 algorithm:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C3_linearization

This is supposedly used by Python, by recent versions of Dylan, and by Perl 6. I've worked in projects that used extensive multiple inheritance and superclass linearization, and it's not bad at all. Now, that doesn't mean that inheritance is always an optimal design—composition and traits are both extremely useful—but multiple inheritance can work fairly well.

ESET Endpoint Security 6 Activation Key and Crack Free Download
Very few events really deserve to grab users attention in such a brutal way.

In fact, I cannot name a single one. Open/save file dialogue? Emacs minibuffers are light years ahead of the current Windows crap.

Asking for credentials? Same thing, only grey out the controls that directly depend on credentials and use something like emacs minibuffer for entry, not a new window on top of the rest of the form.

And, while I'm still on it - don't EVER grey out anything without an explanation. I want to be able to hover over a greyed out control and see a detailed explanation immediately. Not doing this is rude.

If a UI designer cannot build a seamless handling of all the exceptional cases into a flow, he'd better move on to a simpler job (I don't know - programming, sweeping streets, packing groceries, whatever) and let the professionals do the work instead.

Also, most (if not all) frameworks implement modal dialogues in a very ugly way. For example, in Visual Studio it is a very often case when you may want to copy and paste something from some other editor window into a modal dialogue. But you cannot - it's all locked! Such things are extremely annoying and totally unacceptable.

They weren't that cavalier, else, for example, a lot more people working on the project, especially at the fissionable production plants, would have died from radiation exposure, instead, it was just these two working on the Demon Core.

This feels more like arrogant scientists believing the rules didn't apply to them, that particularly true for Daghlian, who was for example violating the very sensible rule that you don't work on this sort of thing alone (e.g. a coworker might have pointed out the danger of the experiment, or independently taken more effective action to stop it before fatal dosing happened, e.g. partly in the manner that Frisch saved himself, by knocking aside some of the reflecting blocks instead of Daghlian's attempt to remove the block he'd dropped).

(See also the Los Alamos team of junior scientists who violated both direct orders and all common sense in trying to whip up their own smoke pots, resulting in as I recall one death and one blinding. I knew better than that when I created my own pyrotechnics in high school (granted, I'd been on the track to become a scientist since 1st grade, but...).)

Seriously, Slotin should have either realized the danger if his hand slipped, or should have realized that his hand slipping was too great a risk for really no serious gain.

It would probably 'NEVER' happen.

PS4 and XBone were outdated even before they were launched, and were widely criticized. But this was necessary is order to reduce the manufacturing cost of the consoles.
This is the 8th Generation of consoles, the 7th Gen, PS3 and Xbox360 lasted around 7-8 years. But due to huge advancement in technology the 8th Gen has already become oudated.

Also, we cannot have multiple generation of consoles at the same time because it makes it difficult for the Devs to make the game. It significantly increases the development cost and most of them would refuse to make the games for multiple consoles.

It has also been said, that after the PS Neo or the PS 4.5, there would not be any PS5, since everyone is thinking of moving to the cloud.

You're never going to play 123 champions all the time

Speak for yourself. As a veteran of both hon and dota, I'm a frequent player of "all random" mode. In both games, this means you get a different experience every game. You may say that you'll never master all of them by doing it this way but that's besides the point. By playing a character you learn all of their abilities and how they work, what their cool downs, mana costs, attack and ability ranges are etc. Doing this at least once for every character gives you a much better grasp of what you're up against than trying to learn only by way of opposition.
There are extensions that do this. A standardized interface between site and browser-managed crypto is what's really needed though.
Don't forget canals. They were the transport infrastructure beta test for England. With canals it finally made economic sense to extract more and produce more than the immediate local economy could use. Canal building also prepared the public to invest/speculate on the new infrastructure and provide capital the government was unable or unwilling to risk. Railroads poured fuel on the fire, but the first spark came from canals.
It's nice to hear about the server-side PGP support (searching!), although it's unfortunate that the client-side solution, Mailvelope (or more specifically, the OpenPGP.js library it uses), still doesn't support any ECC algorithms.

Fortunately Google's End-to-End extension does support ECC algorithms (no idea if it integrates with Roundcube though), but it seems like it still isn't ready for production distribution on the Chrome Web Store yet.
I too was frustrated by a recent IBM presentation at my uni - there was no technical content.

However I don't think an AI winter is coming, as the author's asserts (towards the end). Applied AI research is driven by orgs like DeepMind and OpenAI, as well as academics. This powerful symbiosis of industry and academia will, in my opinion, continue to yield technological breakthroughs in the coming years and decades.

Are We in the Anthropocene Yet?
Ask HN: Career path guidance
Background:
I am in my second to last year of my undergraduate degree studying computer science and engineering. I have been told that the next best step is to get a technical graduate degree. My guess, however, is that by getting a more technical degree, I will be locked into a more technical position. Front-end development (UI/UX), marketing, and management interest me greatly. As I look at career options, I am realizing how much more of an advantage you have if you know which career path you want to take early on, so you can tailor your experience/skills.

Goals:
The career I consider ideal would be working in a position where:
1. I have more influence, which I suppose would be at a start-up or a small/medium enterprise 2. Am able to work with multiple factions within a company (be involved with the whole process) 3. Am able to grow professionally

Questions (many of my friends have the same unanswered questions with a general regard to the tech industry):
What would you recommend for someone with my background in terms of career paths?
Does a technical graduate degree make that big of a difference?
Would an MBA (possibly in marketing) be beneficial?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I have heard this line of reasoning before, but I'm skeptical.

I don't think I have ever once said to myself "i should hurry up and buy X before inflation makes it more expensive."
It doesn't seem like people will reason like this unless the price changes are observable from day to day, or maybe week to week.

Can someone point me to description of Watson's sentence realization API? I guess it could be called the semantics-to-text part. Realizers like FUF/SURGE, KPML/Nigel, and RealPro are quite complex to use. SIMPLENLG and OpenCCG are simpler, but the results I saw were not impressive. The demos of Watson are quite good, so I'm really interested to see how it performs on operations more complex than delivering factoids.
