HSTS will one day be remembered as the HTTPS version of SMS 2nd auth: A bad hack with good intentions. Sure, it can have some positive effect in the short term, but there are so many ways to subvert it that as its popularity grows, so will the attacks.
You simply don't know what you're talking about. Effortlessly, first of all, is false. Secondly, while the hiring of thousands of software engineers over the last few years was trumpeted, that doesn't mean GM knows how to manage them. That applies, even more strongly, to the acquisition of Cruise that you cited. That happened three months ago, so it isn't clear how much talent will stay for how long. But the fact that they had to buy it meant they decided they couldn't build it themselves in a reasonable amount of time.
I just posted some diet stuff up above. But I'm 5'11". Lifting stats? Nothing terribly impressive, I'm afraid.

I don't really care about strength much, I try to focus on slow, controlled movements, and being really safe. But, with that said:

- bench: 400lbs

- squat: 315lbs for reps (been a while though, I recently hurt my back)

- deadlift: 585lbs (before I hurt my back, now I don't do them)
I think this is less of a problem now that HN supports collapsing subtrees. It'll probably be a while before users internalize it, but if the top comment doesn't interest you, it's one click to hide it and all its replies.
Also, the cities on the lists are the only cities they even have data for, so it's possible for other cities to have higher counts.
You want disruption? Here are some ideas.

Build drone carriers. Who needs brave pilots in fighter seats when you can get the same results with slightly less brave drone operators? You can pack a lot more than 44 drones in each carrier.

Repurpose container ships. If Russians can launch cruise missiles directly from shipping containers (4 missiles per standard 40-feet container), the same can be done with drones. Imagine how much of them can be packed in 1000-container container ship, which looks like any other civilian cargo ship until the need arises.

Drone operators can control entire formations of combat drones (no need to actually fly these things — point and click interface should be enough with modern tech). Autonomous refueling, sensor fusion, battlespace mapping — the only need for humans in the loop is giving "go / no go" for kill requests.

Use large coordinated battlegroups with numerous uniform modular cheaper vessels instead of a few big expensive carriers surrounded by combat support. Every ship can (and should) be fitted with ECC and offensive electronic warfare options, which prevents attacking electronic support first. Try to jam 200 small ships simultaneously while they are constantly on the move in the large area — nearly impossible. No designated C&C ships — all battlegroup members can take multiple roles as needed, including command and control.

Fail-deadly "nuclear options" — if battlegroup communications are jammed beyond repair, drones can be programmed to proceed with their missions fully autonomously, until kill switch signal arrives. Looks harsh, but better than actual nuclear option.

Etc etc.

Agreed , only important studies are worth replicating, the problem is that no major journal will publish a replication. Journals in general push for novelty rather than quality here.

b) can be a problem with meta-analyses and reviews. When gathering data "from the literature" , not all the data gathered is of the same quality/certainty, which can have a compounding effect. Or when someone from a mathematical or computational field tries to create a model using data reported in the literature. It is often difficult when working in an interdisciplinary environment to assess the quality of everything you read, especially if you re not familiar with all the experimental methods.

Also, off topic, but i wonder why you chose a throwaway account to weigh into this. i hope it's not a "science politics" reason.

if you're determined not to learn anything then you certainly won't
When I worked at a large quant asset manager as a quant analyst in Boston, I did not have a PhD and neither did any of the other analysts except maybe 1 or 2. It did seem you needed a PhD for portfolio management or higher, but not for quant analyst. This was also true at a hedge fund in Boston ... I ultimately turned down their offer, but they seemd to mostly hire master's degree folks (I have a master's in stats/machine learning) not full PhDs.

Are there any openings (that would sponsor a visa) in the Ireland office? I'd love to apply and think SIG could be a good fit, but I've just had no luck responding to the Stack Overflow ads from the Philly office.

I decided to look into this. I pulled the financials for Pfizer, Merck, and AstraZeneca. Their research and development (R&D) spending, while significantly less than their Selling, General, and Administrative (SGA) spending, it is still comparable. Considering SGA includes a lot more than just advertising I would wager that their actual ad budgets (at least for Merck and AstraZeneca) are less than their R&D budgets.

Pfizer: $7,690 million R&D, $14,809 million SGA

Merck: $6,704 million R&D, $10,313 million SGA

AstraZeneca: $5,997 million R&D, $9,951 million SGA
Much easier to just load a root CA certificate - this use case is explicitly supported and does not require maintaining a browser fork & compile infrastructure.

But "just" doing either of these things turns out not to be simple for many organizations. It's bad enough needing to update your system image/deployment scripts (if you have any!). You also need to figure out what to do about all the devices you don't own. BYOD is a thing.
I've been saying this exact same thing since the initial release. The media is completely missing the point. Yes, it's mildly important who did it and why but how is that overshadowing that the winning campaign conspired with both the media and the DNC to divert resources and work against the Sanders campaign. Makes the whole issue of the Sanders camp looking at some voter records for a few hours earlier this year seem completely overblown.

> Yeah, just watching the news, it's becoming more and more apparent that people are so far removed from the horrors of WWI and WWII that they don't understand why we created the international institutions we did.

It is sad it only takes such a short time for people to forget.

I have met a couple of people who have experienced World War II, although most of them were only children at the time. I listened to stories of being woken in the middle of the night by sirens, and then spending the rest of the night in a bunker, unable to sleep, constantly being shaken by explosions. I cannot imagine what that must be like, but I know that I would not wish that on anyone.

Somebody once said that the only thing we learn from history is that we learn nothing from history. So far, it looks like whoever said it was right.

As we reduce our coal use, the United States has a lot of absolutely enormous strip mining equipment going surplus. An obsolete 1960's era shovel moves 80m^3 in a scoop and that scoop is WW-1 era bomb proof for all practical purposes, say you want to dig down 4 meters, thats 20m^2 cleared per scoop. About 2 million scoops to clear a square mile. That one shovel should be able to pick up and sift a square mile of Europe in about 2 years. Granted, some of it will need to be run through an incinerator as well and you'd have the same environmental result as a used strip mine, but you can farm that and a square mile of France or Belgium should have resale value.

Edit: The German bucketwheel excavators like the Bagger 293 might do it faster.
Please don't get into a mode of thinking that I need evidence for everything. It is free, try it yourself and see it works, if it doing any good for YOU, then it's just immaterial if it was never proved or not worked for anyone else (coz everyone is different, something works for you may not work for them)

I'm saying this with first hand experience, I was skeptical (I think lazy is better word), but I started recently, been on four weeks now and it is working for me, never going back.
I tried within hours. And tried again multiple times with intervals on the order of weeks.
I'm just an adjunct and will likely never break into the tenure track (not having a master's degree being one of many factors against me), but I was sad to see that even this purportedly slow and deliberate process be affected to some degree by ageism. A good friend of mine entered grad school (in the humanities) around 2004, when most folks he knew were easily finding tenure-track jobs after their PhDs. He found himself the runner-up for highly-contested jobs, and family events took him out of the hunt for a bit, but as the years went on and he was content to be hired by not top-tier schools, he ran into the "We'd love to hire you but your resumé is too prestigious for us and you might just use us as a stepping stone" and "If you haven't been snapped up despite such a great pedigree, then something must be wrong with you". He eventually got a tenure-track offer which he happily accepted, but he was close to giving up on his decade-long career path.

I think these struggles are endemic to nearly all professions but it seems to me that in academia, there's fewer opportunities to get tenure-track (or non-tenure, but decently-paying) positions once you've deviated from the usual path, even before you factor in the scarcity.
That's not how RF works. The courts have heard cases like this. Look up the talk on CreepyDOL from defcon.
Prepare for the hate-train from developers. But I agree with you though. It's frustrating because each PM wants to install it's own version, which ends up conflicting with another PM's version, and who knows where they end up, or in what state. Apt-get rarely fails for me, but pip, gem, npm fail all the time. And who knows what version of the package they just installed, or where they got it from.

I wish devs would just tell me the libraries I need, and I'll get the packages myself.

Unless your on the bleeding edge of development, you don't need the newest versions of a lib. And you probably shouldn't be developing on the bleeding edge anyway. There's a reason apt-get is so stable, and is used everywhere.

The caveat to all that is: I hate making packages for apt-get. It's a terrible process, and I completely understand why so many devs want to avoid it.

This sounds as coming from the totally unscientific and non-experimental cult of "scientism" -- it's basically a pre-baked prejudice about what could and what could not have scientific backing.

One might as well be religious if they don't read scientific literature (which offers tons of studies on meditation) and don't at least keep an open mind and try to verify experimentally their claims.

Not only it doesn't sound "ridiculous to even ask", but there are LOTS of scientific studies on the matter.

I don't think you should feel bad about that at all. The amount of jobs available is not going to decrease due to you publishing papers. If you "take away a spot" for someone's paper it might mean that that person doesn't get a job, but some other academic will get it instead (and none of them will know).

In fact I'd say non-academics publishing in conferences and journals can be good for academics even from an egoistic standpoint, as it can help break the popular perception of science/academia as an ivory tower of self-absorbing smartasses out of touch with reality. And better popular perception of science indirectly means more funding. So as an academic I would definitely see an increase of submissions by non-academics as good news for my interests.
First, you need to go read the actual paper, rather than some journalistic paraphrase, and them come back.

After that, you can ask a specific question about what was done and what was not done. Generally with an eye toward a useful mechanism that might explain things.

Then, you need to come up with a prediction based upon that question that can be tested.

At that point, you are contributing to the discussion.

"Could invisible sky fairies could have contaminated the results?" is not a useful question. "Is it possible that nuclear decay could have transmuted something into oxygen trapped in NaCl? (answer, no, for various reasons)" is at least in the vein of a useful question.
If the end result is exposing criminal behavior, it doesn't actually matter who does the exposing. I mean, that's why we have whistleblower laws - because we supposedly care about exposing corruption more than leaking secrets. If they don't find anything, then they're not influencing the election. If they do find something, then it's Clinton who should be held accountable for her criminal actions, not the person/people who expose those actions.

>so people are meditating for 'benefits', to make more money . seems so counterintuitive.

People have been meditating for benefits (including more money and better performing at their job etc) for millennia. It's not just for spiritual/religious purposes (and if fact in some cultures those can be mixed as well without any contradiction).

Yes. The market is very narrow for academia. I live in NYC. there are a handful of universes and colleges. If the large institutions are not hiring, you are left with the small fish normally just looking for teachers not professors. Also, to grow your career a healthy environment is collaboration. If you end up being a Professor at a small pond, your bet is external collaboration. If you don't like the small ponds, you have to find jobs somewhere else, that means moving to another state. Since there are thousands of post doc actively looking to join a good research institutions, the job market is so competitive.

For engineers, say you got rejected by Google, there are still hundreds of engineering teams you can apply to.

> "Intergalactic void is so empty that next galaxy could be made of anti-matter (it probably isn't) and we couldn't tell."

This isn't actually true, there's enough matter in intergalactic space that if there were galaxies made of anti-matter anywhere in the visible universe the interface between regular and anti-matter would shine more powerfully than the galaxy, and have a very characteristic spectrum as well. Nothing of the sort has been observed.
