The issue is secure computing isn't happening and the current approach to security is broken. Malware and viruses and firmware hacks, ransomeware. And this approach of laziness is spreading to IOT and will lead to massive national infrastructure failures. State sponsored attacks you the US via the NSA, by Russia, China and stateless organizations will yield digital carnage. The more our everyday things are integrated with compute the great propensity for hacks, loss of data, loss of identity etc.

No, there's no relation between RTI and what he's doing. An 'RTI activist' is common term used in India for people who write formal RTI requests to various departments of government to legally force them to shell out information (for public good) which is otherwise hard to find or they are unwilling to give. There have been cases of corrupt politicians/govt employees getting the 'RTI activists' murdered, so you can imagine the importance of it. This petition just means he is doing another act of what he thinks is important for public welfare.

I had always thought that this was a feature in that you would avoid truncation and both parties would know how many SMS were sent/received. I had no idea that anyone concatenated these. It is a bit problematic for those in the US on plans that do not have unlimited SMS because it would present the illusion of over counting.

>2) But it's marketed as complete food replacement, not as a simple nutritional supplement. Though I don't fancy the supplement industry either.

I'm not sure where you got this idea, the Soylent guide they send you when you get your first shipment even tells you that it's not necessary to go 100% Soylent. And, as far as I can tell, the website never says that you should eat only Soylent.

>3) I think it's stupid to consider this time as waste instead of time well spent.

Is the 10 minutes of making breakfast sausages really time well spent every day? That 10 minutes where I'm still somewhat sleepy, somewhat groggy, and pretty grumpy? I'd much rather have a serving of Soylent for breakfast, takes me 30 seconds to pour out a cup and spend an extra 10 minutes running in the morning, reading a newspaper, etc.

>4) Standards for food production are higher, I can touch it, I can see it, I can ask where it's from. Not sure where you have been buying your food. A banana I eat is not the product of a badly regulated industry, where hobbyists create mixtures of their liking.

As for the health of Soylent, you can find every ingredient and amount [1] for every iteration of it. While there's definitely less regulation in this industry, Soylent themselves have done a decent job of publishing the nutrition facts [2] and ingredients, is this that far removed from another traditional food? Can you really verify what pesticides were used in the production of that banana that you're eating?

My first suspicion whenever I see such comments is that maybe they are coming from astroturfers. (A well documented problem on Reddit).

The negative comments here are generally weak and naieve even when they include valid points i.e. focusing on the "too much operational info" argument, while usually avoiding acknowledgment of the "secret illegal undemocratic global surveillance" argument.

But then I think astroturfing (or meta-astroturfing) would be way too obvious, and such a fact would inevitably be discovered and cause a loss in faith. But who can say anymore in this crazy anything-goes Internet. Nothing surprises me anymore, and thats what makes me sad.

Or yeah, maybe they sadly are just real comments.

"--norecurse Useful for DNS cache snooping"

Not if the resolver rejects non-recursive queries, as do dnscache and dqcache.

There is a way to resolve DNS domainnames to IP addresses using only non-recursive queries. I do it everyday.

But I've never seen anyone release any program that did this. Your program does not even attempt to do this -- you need to send the queries to authoritative nameservers not public resolvers. But you used the term "non-recursive" so I thought maybe someone had finally tried.

One of the shortcomings of DNS IMO is that the specification allows for the possibility of including more than one name in a query. But no one has ever implemented this, as far as I know.

Despite the design of the DNS, most of the information stored in it is more static than dynamic, and much of it is centralized. Most dommainnames do not change IP addresses very often and there are very large numbers of domainnames sharing the same authoritative nameservers.

As someone who works in the industry developing software, it's because for the high-end VFX studios, software like Blender and Natron just don't cut it in terms of efficiency, power and flexibility.

Artist time costs more money than software licenses do, and as the open source software isn't generally good enough for their needs, using better off-the-shelf software that have fairly decent and flexible plugin APIs is good enough for them.

A lot of the code VFX studios have is proprietary (as in unique to the individual studio who wrote it) plugins for host apps like Maya, Katana and Nuke, and shaders/integrators for renderers like PRMan and Arnold.

There are open source projects that are used for glue in the VFX industry:

https://github.com/alembic/alembic
https://github.com/PixarAnimationStudios/OpenSubdiv
https://github.com/imageworks/OpenShadingLanguage
https://github.com/ImageEngine/gaffer
https://github.com/dreamworksanimation/openvdb
https://github.com/openexr/openexr

But these have almost exclusively been internal proprietary projects started within studios that have been open-sourced, to help transfer assets between studios, and are mostly open file formats for images, volumes and geometry, as well as other intermediate tooling.
CHINA CONDUCTS MAIDEN Launch OF LONG MARCH 7 ROCKET
Man... when I contacted journalists about writing an article about my lawsuit against Chicago for the mayor's phone records, they all told me "tell us when you're done." and wouldn't touch it with ten foot pole. Very strange to see this getting attention after all that. That said, this is friggin' awesome. Best of luck to him!

My suit was eventually dropped after the judge essentially told Chicago to JFGI after their claims of burden in checking if a number is in public domain was costing the city a fortune and burden. It just took six months to get to that point and a year and a half in total...

Thankfully, I found a good reporter who's very interested in writing for me. My writing skills are just too shite for anything that public. :)
As an American, that's why I'm kind of shocked that this kind of issue only required a simple majority. Usually out in the states a change of this magnitude requires a super-majority. For example, to ban guns in the US would require a two thirds majority of states to be for.

Selling to the government is not a subsidy.
One of the arguments against mass surveillance is that it is blatant intrusion of privacy, and hence it should not exist.

On the other hand, the arguments against encryption seem to be that it cripples the Government agencies in their work against terrorists, which is a genuine concern.

There seems to be no way to address both these major concerns (that I am aware of), and hence the battle between privacy advocates and the camp against encryption in the name of national security will continue.

Banning a single service such as WhatsApp is not a solution to this problem. If someone really wants their communication to be encrypted, they can easily make it happen using the numerous tools available, and there is nothing the Government can do about it.

I remember when the Soylent-Creator was on the Colbert Report, and he clearly marketed it as a 100% food replacement. Saying that you don't have to replace food with it completely is smart, it opens up additional customers, makes sense. Their Soylent promotional video however makes the claim that 1) it can replace any meal 2) while not having to replace every meal, it certainly insinuates it can (which is way different from other supplements).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FPt1W9IAx0I

I also do remember the piece by motherboard on Soylent

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8NCigh54jg

Fair, they were a small operation back then, but even if it might not tell you how they work now, it certainly shows you how low the standards are. Their facilities don't even have to be inspected, ... at all.

So you are too tired to cook, but fit enough to run? And usually I have to get dressed, have to shower, pack up my things, work over my schedule, read some mails, activities where I can have something on the stove at the same time. If something needs 10 minutes to cook I am not staring into the pot for the duration.

The composition of the ingredients does not tell me how they know, where they buy, anything in beyond. I rather see food, touch it, smell it, know where it's from, I don't really bother about whether the fish I just bought has 1 gram fat more or less, that's not the "quality" in food I am looking for.
Sounds interesting but definitely needs some tour, demo, screenshots, or something to get a basic idea of what to expect beforehand.

> The budgets of state and local governments around the country are tapped out. Often, that's the result of problems that--though exacerbated by the financial collapse--have been in the making for decades.

Often it's the result of one party drastically cutting services and revenue, and taking the radical position that taxes, especially income taxes, can never go up.
well, it is kind obvious - being able to do things vs. being able to demand and command of others to do things - skilled worker vs. manager/executive - natural selection rules, it is just selecting for different qualities in the post-post-industrial society than it was doing it in the pre-industrial.
I consider this a good development.

Anytime a sovereign group of individuals declares independence from a larger group, which inevitably has different interests, it's a good thing.

I don't know why there's so much despair over this.

Yes, surely there are short-term negative effects, whether in the loss of EU privileges, or the temporary losses in currency values, but in the long-term, there's more independence and self-sufficiency.

A larger body of government isn't smarter; in fact, it is more detached from local concerns, and less able to react to them in a timely fashion.

We should celebrate the Brexit, just as we should celebrate any and all declarations of independence from larger bodies of governance.

What do you mean 'worth it'? Do you think that the benefits to society of giving someone $15k/yr in welfare are $0?

If so, why not argue for just abolishing social welfare programs altogether--you can even save yourself the cost of all those drug tests!

If not, why do you think society should forgo those benefits because the recipient failed a drug test?
Their newer content tends to be of higher quality and depth than the older.

I think the attack vector (getting ssl/tls keys) the government was going after was a surprise. I had thought they would have requested access to the servers.
you write it.
C would be a good example -- it is more efficiently parsed with a bottom-up algorithm than top down (recursive descent), because of the lookahead issue.

Which C compilers use a bottom-up algorithm? I'm fairly certain both GCC and Clang both use top-down recursive descent parsers.

It would be great to write your grammar once and get security, code-formatting, autocomplete, etc. for free, but in practice, you'll need a lot of control over things like error reporting. It's hard to match the control you have with plain recursive-descent code.
It's the same VM as JS, so why would it be any less secure?
It's not even released yet. Of course it will be buggy and poorly documented.
>Banning a single service such as WhatsApp is not a solution to this problem.

Generalizing this argument a bit, banning encryption is also not a solution to this problem. The cat is, as they say, out of the bag, and unless we're going to burn every cryptography book and remove every website documenting cryptographic methods or hosting cryptography code, there's no putting it back [1].

1: Presuming the development of effective post quantum cryptography cannot be prevented and distributed, which considering the current state of PQC seems unlikely.

> 1) it can replace any meal 2) while not having to replace every meal, it certainly insinuates it can..

So...your beef with Soylent is that they insinuate that every meal can be replaced? You're free to enjoy food however you want, but you do realize just because they insinuate it, you don't have to follow that right?

> So you are to tired to cook, but fit enough to run? And usually I have to get dressed, have to shower, back up my things, work over my schedule, activities where I can have something on the stove at the same time. If something needs 10 minutes to cook I am not staring into the pot for the duration.

Not wanting to cook doesn't translate into an inability to cook. I'd much rather not spend the time in the morning if I don't need to, and Soylent allows more freedom in my schedule.

I thought about this, but all the food you eat was trucked to a distribution center, then trucked to the store, then driven home by you. There’s lots of packaging involved there too. Meanwhile a shipment of soylent goes straight to you, cutting out all those middlemen.

I'd be interested to see if someone has done the analysis to see if 2000kcal of soylent uses less resources to ship than the same amount of calories from a grocery store.

Tons of stuff in physics is real-valued (or complex-real-valued). Phase difference between eigenstates is real. The energy, momentum, etc. of an unbound particle has an uncountably infinite number of eigenstates, so you need to index them with a real number.
