There's no indication that secessionist violence is at all warranted. There was a whole referendum on independence 2 years ago...does anybody think that that if Scotland had voted "Leave", the referendum would have been ignored and secession thwarted? Let Scotland hold another referendum before talking about the possibility of separatist violence.

It's more about whether the attacker has control of the any portion of the compressed contents. If they have control over the stream then you don't want compression, if they don't you do.
If I compress each component (ie: attacker-influenced vs secret) separately, concatenate the results (with message lengths of course), then encrypt the whole message, is that secure?

It seems like it should be, but I'm not an encryption expert. The compression should be pretty good, though.
"Could dark matter be made up of all those undiscovered black holes?"

IANAP(I am not a physicist). I have a pet theory relating to this that goes something like this, and please forgive the simplification: normal matter is "seeking" to return to its original state in the other/dark universe membrane which can only be done through black holes, so dark matter wouldn't be made of black holes, but black holes are the portal through which matter becomes dark matter. In my theory Gravity is actually only a second teir side effect of normal matter seeking to return to dark matter to some degree. I would guess a way to test this would be to measure dark matter emittance near black holes. I suspect it will be highly concentrated in the area.
Thank you, thank you. THIS, exactly this.

If this passes, I can only see it as a net loss to the city.

Higher payroll taxes, less disposable income from tech employees, less money put into the market by the private sector in favor of taxes put in by the government. It is highly understood about the effect of economic multipliers between private industry spending and government. When will progressives ever learn?

On that note, businesses: There are many states who would give many tax incentives for moving your company to the city/state. Texas, Washington...even NY...

> For the japanese military in WWII, rape was normal.

What racist gibberish. It was "normal" just like it was normal for the allies. The allies did a lot more raping than the axis...

> Butchering civilian populations wholesale was normal.

And it was not normal for the allies? The allies murdered a lot more civilians than the axis.

> The Americans and British did not play by those rules

Is that a joke? Intentionally burning of millions of innocent women and children are what? The nuking of cities full of innocent civilians are what? We intentionally murdered a shitload of innocent civilians too. Lets not pretend otherwise.

> This was not two equivalent evils.

You could argue that the british/americans were more evil than the japanese/germans. I prefer to say evil is evil.

The fact that you think we were any better just shows that you are an unthinking person who mindlessly swallows propaganda. Or that you don't know what really went on in ww2.

The british were some of the worst genocidal maniacs in humans history ( aborigines, indians, africans, etc ). And we did our fair share of genocides ( native americans, inuits, etc ). We didn't go from mass lynching of blacks to turning into saints overnight. The US and Britain were two of the most racist and evil societies on earth in the 1940s. There is a reason why the nazis modeled their ideology after the british/american racial ideology.

The difference between luxury and non luxury apartments is mostly marketing and a some marble countertops. If there isn't more luxury stuff built, people just buy a non luxury property and make it luxury.

There might be a problem if new luxury spaces were too big, but in my experience they are still very small units. In my neighborhood the new luxury buildings have smaller units than mine. Mine isn't luxury just bcause its older and doesn't have a new kitchen.

In big expensive cities I'm not even sure how you'd build non luxury. I think you'd have to make it shitty on purpose.
To a first approximation, good videos require good scripts. So writing a script for a 90 second 1,2,3 video might very well also be the design for a 1,2,3 call to action on the landing page.

It may be a case where paying for a good professional designer/technical writer/explainer offers a high return on investment. Personally, I've always found writing copy about myself uncomfortable and I often tend toward long a more winded completist approach when I write. So that's where I'm coming from.

LiquidPiston: Efficient rotary engine
I'm just an armchair economist but it seems obvious that this payroll tax (especially when combined with minimum wage hikes) will further incentivize companies to relocate entry level workers to lower cost of living areas, e.g. Yelp customer service moving to Phoenix. Companies will keep their most skilled (and highest paid) workers in San Francisco because access to those workers is why they HQ there in the first place. As a result, the middle class continues to hollow out and inequality is actually worsened, which likely puts additional pressure on homelessness and the other problems they were trying to solve in the first place. I wonder if these politicians think about the unintended consequences of their proposals - whether they don't know, don't believe it to be so, or simply don't care.
Fresco was unique in that all of his designs were based on testable, quantifiable evidence based assessments of reality. His designs for cities ended up looking like "utopias" because he started at the evidence based engineering level and built up from there, not because he imagined a utopia and worked backwards from his "vision".
Most of the issues facing engineers when designing a city are issues with the way in which monetary economics works against efficient design, implementation of best practices, and sharing of resources. As cities and neighborhoods with attractive qualities of socialabilty become scarcer, gentrification leads to their destruction through over-valuation from increased market demand.
It is nigh impossible to build a "shining city on the hill", where there is opportunity and abundance and happiness, and expect that the rest of the world will sit idly by in their squalor and applaud the achievement.
Q: Why is Microsoft so uncreative with the Windows UI design?
Spammers are the ultimate Sybil attackers. Setting up a useful SMTP server as an individual, and creating a new non-blacklisted identity as a spammer, are effectively the same task. The community of legitimate email providers has responded (quite effectively, and without too many false positives) by making this as expensive, difficult, and time-consuming as possible.

Emails from residential modems are not even worth scanning - they are practically guaranteed to be from botnets. Emails from commodity hosting providers are also pretty suspect, because they're very easy for spammers to get their hands on.

If you want your mail delivered, you need to send it from IP addresses that don't have those obvious red flags, don't have a reputation for sending spam any time in the distant past, and also have a long-term positive reputation for sending non-spam email.

In practical terms, you need to be in the professional mail server administration business full-time (be extremely careful to shut down abusive customers/tenants rapidly, never make a mistake that would let an attacker run an SMTP server on your network, etc.) or you need to pay someone who is, and who trusts you to cloak yourself in their reputation and not ruin it.
The paper was too technical for me. How might it explain dark matter?
Fewer, not less.
Solving a problem and computing a function are almost entirely unrelated concepts. For instance, solving a problem usually takes the form of "write a system which can do X, within budget, on schedule, in a maintainable way, with integration with these services, with at least this much reliability." Out of that list, the only thing a function can compute there is to do X, once. And maybe not even that; functions can't even do I/O.

Unless you have developers who are super excited about writing web services via BPF filters, Turing-completeness is not a meaningful way to compare programming languages; that is, that's not the reason why we have multiple programming languages in the world and why different people or projects prefer different ones.
Why does google have billions of lines of code?

This is more of a rhetorical question. As a tech minimalist, the preferrable answer by a long shot would be that, internally, Google is keenly aware of the severe bloat and technical debt of their codebase and have clear plans going forward to drastically reduce the scale, by more than 1000x at least, without sacrificing any of the features/bug-fixes/performance of any of the code.
I'd love to see a Stripe Atlas directed at US startups. I don't see why incorporating should be so expensive and laborious.
They wouldn't. The article suggests that the segmentation of work is somehow a "good thing", but in general it's unreliable, unpredictable (which cripples spending and stresses workers), and pays questionable average wages compared to equivalent dedicated work (TaskRabbit vs. being a maid).

It's an obviously shitty solution, but so is European-style mass unemployment without gig work or UBI. All I really meant to say was that this is a way more coherent vision than "UBI, but people will work like they do now!" or "the gig economy will be totally sufficient for low-wage workers!"

Right. Most He comes from fractional distillation of natural gas. Some natural gas pockets have up to 7% He. This is where cheap He comes from. Most natural gas pockets have a lower concentration, but they will always be more economical sources of He than the atmosphere or nuclear fusion. The "peak He" prediction has the same flaw as the "peak oil" prediction. Helium may get more expensive, but we will not in any sense "run out."
The monorepo solves source-to-source compatibility issues, but it doesn't solve the source-to-binary compatibility issues. For that you need a solid ABI, possibly versioned, unless every code checkin redeploys every running process everywhere.

Say version N of the code is compiled and running all over the place, and you make a change to create N+1. Well, if you don't understand the ABI implications of building and running your N+1 client against version N servers (or any other combination of programs, libraries, clients, and servers), then you'll be in a mess.

And if you do understand those ABI boundaries well and can version across them, I'm not sure you need a monorepo much at all.
In addition to what poof131 said, the reason we don't hear a lot about it is because it has a horrible tendency to result in out-of-control inflation. That means that any money you manage to save is rapidly heading toward worthless. That tends to have really destructive effects on an economy.
They've already said they're not giving Scotland another referendum.
Regulations are just sets of rules agencies adopt to enforce the law. This is needed because people are not like computers, and do't just blindly follow a standard or best practice. If there's a way to gain more at the expense of others, some people will attempt to do so without some negative consequence (and some will still attempt to do so). Laws are to clearly define what is not allowed. Regulations just make it clear how to operate in a way compliant with the law.

> The hope is to align buisness in such a way that comapanies work together to promote quality and interoperability. Needing government to set standards and regulation is just too slow.

The only way people and companies are able to interact with other people and companies on any basis that requires future action is because the laws regulate exactly what is expected under certain circumstances. Two parties can agree on whatever they want, but without an impartial third party to review violations in their agreement, enforce penalties, and rule on new situations, this breaks down. I don't think we've seen the last of the cases regarding commerce that requires high level legal review, so I don't think we're done with lawmakers.
It should be, they both should be very controversial. But it easier to argue for a corporate death penalty than it is for a corporate "life in prison" because both of those things look exactly the same.
That's an excellent rule, but that doesn't cover the other example used about voice communications.
I guess the alternative would be:

Which would avoid the potentially expensive `validate()` without putting it all on the one line.

There is nothing in the article to rebut. The article is merely engaging in mood affiliation - saying words that evoke the right emotions and appeal to the tribe of some readers - without actually engaging in reasoning that someone could rebut.

It dismisses problems like death and AI risk solely by describing them as "fake". No argument is made for this - the reader in the tribe of the author is assumed to already agree. It asserts that politics should control tech. Again no argument is made, because the reader is assumed to already agree. Similarly for the idea that techies somehow owe something to random (globally) wealthy people who are physically close to them.

We definitely handle the "Register with CA" part of the checklist, and we have that as part of our checklist that we send to companies after incorporation.

I was alluding to the fact that it a circular problem - frequent routes (within reason) become popular routes.

>it also doesn't solve the problem if you want to go somewhere unpopular.

The vast majority of trips are to popular locations, by definition. Everyone can still use cars for unpopular destinations.

>Waking up Saturday morning and deciding to drive out to a destination like this

One can wake up in the morning and decide to take a weekend trip without a car. The difference? It will take probably about an hour to get underway.

Meanwhile, a person in an urban area can have all of these car advantages for infrequent uses such as weekend trips or going somewhere unpopular with far less expense by having a Zipcar account.

> Basically the Japanese were using perfidy as a normal war tactic (perfidy is a war crime, surrender and then, when your enemy's guard is lower, attack).

The japanese started suicide runs because the allies had a no prisoner policy.

"American soldiers in the Pacific often deliberately killed Japanese soldiers who had surrendered."

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

Not only that the allies were tortured, mutilating and decapitating hundreds of thousands of wounded/surrendered japanese soldiers.

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

That's why the japanese didn't surrender. What the allies were doing in the pacific war is something that even ISIS would view as deranged.

If false surrendering is a war crime, then so is torture, mutilation and "no prisoner" policy.

Why did the japanese soldiers stop surrendering? You have to look at the context. Would you surrender to someone who is going to torture you, mutilate you and decapitate you and boil your head so that your skull could be sent to the US as a war trophy? Of course not.

> though might be a core value of the U.S. (being a nation of immigrants, after all).

This is exactly what I'm talking about. Like I said in the later bit of my post, our openness to immigrants and the lack of European-style nationalism and nationalistic discrimination is my favorite thing about the US. If this goes, I'd much rather live in Europe.

Like I said in another post, it's a matter of priorities. Of course I can't disagree that we need safety (cough gun control cough), economic prosperity, and job security. But unless these things are in much worse shape than they are now, I find that their importance doesn't hold up terribly well to what makes America great! :)

To me, Western Europe is a place where I can lead a much higher quality of life (I've lived in Germany and Switzerland and much prefer it over there). But I keep coming back to loving the US because we don't have this strange attitude I see in many Europeans of kinda... scowling at foreigners, thinking they're out of place, treating them differently... In fact, it's the contrary. In the US, we love foreigners. We're impressed by them, the languages they speak, the cultures and ideas they bring, and if we start having a more European approach to immigration, I'm worried we'll lose that. Then the US will become just another country.
Yeah, the way many media outlets grasped at any available pro-remain narratives after the results was quite funny.

Kind of the same thing was happening to news about Trump - first it was "The polls can be wrong", than "He may have won Iowa, but he will have a hard time continuing", then "Still could be a contested convention", and now it's "Delegates are dumping Trump". It's like they are trying to change reality just by pretending it's different. Sadly, it is not, and I think we would be well served by facing that head-on.
I don’t know about the “best” way, but there are quite a few ways people have explored so far; Google [d3 react] for starters… D3 4.0 introduces a new option which is to use the D3 minilibraries d3-scale, d3-shape, d3-hierarchy etc. without d3-selection, so that you manipulate the DOM exclusively through React. (Of course I’m biased and still recommend D3’s data-join and transitions for animating between views, but now there’s more flexibility.)
