Unfortunately electric cars won't solve the noise problem. The graph on http://www.leiserstrassenverkehr.bayern.de/laerm/entstehung/ (a German government website) compares the engine noise ("Antriebsgeräusch") with the tire noise ("Rollgeräusch") for different speeds ("Gesamtgeräusch" means "total noise"). The yellow line is for trucks, the blue lines for cars.

As you can see at a speed of 40 kph (25 mph) a car's tire noise is already higher than the engine noise and at even higher speed the engine noise doesn't really matter anymore. So even if your electric car engine is absolute silent, the total noise at speeds above 30 mph won't be all that different.

The only real solution is electric cars plus significantly reduced speed limits.

One extra tip (if you aren't confident in the above process, and are performing it over SSH, and don't have physical access to the server):

Test the new access before closing the current session! If you made a mistake in any of the steps you will still be able to fix it. If you close the SSH session before testing, and then find that you made a mistake (e.g. forgot to `chmod 600` the private SSH key or something similar) you're stuck!
Legally, he is considered innocent. No charges have been brought forward, and no legal investigation is under way.

It is the right of most organizations in most states/countries to exclude people of their choosing. They have verified a couple complaints and decided he was enough like a person they wanted to exclude. Which it sounds like he was doing from his side as well.

So I'd say that legally, he is being considered innocent.

This is like 'I can say whatever I want without the consequences of my peers because of the first amendment.' The right to free speech and the right to be innocent until proven guilty apply to a citizens relationship with the government.
I heard he raped or sexually assaulted someone. Someone wrote "a rapist lives here" outside his window.

If he did rape someone, no due process means we're treating rape as a mere HR issue, and he's free to go rape more people.

If he did not rape someone, then at least some of the allegations being thrown around are false. No due process means that someone unconnected with this may reasonably assume all of it is false.
By 2020, 40% of US workers will be doing gig work of some sort. He needs to be looking for an intermediary service, like UpWork, Textbooks, Task Rabbit or Amazon Flex https://flex.amazon.com/.

He needs to let go of the idea of having a job per se and go find work that pays.
codys is correct: The DHCP option provides a URL for a javascript file with a function to be called for each URL. The function then returns how to actually go about connecting to that URL (direct or proxied connection) and what hostname to actually use, etc.

This is separate from the proxy that then gets used for the actual connection if the PAC file says to use a proxy. That proxy can't inject things into pages loaded over https unless it's using an MITM cert signed with a trust root that your browser trusts.

The problem under discussion is that the function in the PAC file gets to see the URL being visited.
This post is exploiting a vulnerability in LastPass auto fill, not the browser's auto fill.

There was also this, which didn't get very widely reported: http://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1sop8ps

I don't know what the truth is here, but I can't trust anyone who won't make the investigation public by that very fact.

And just for the record, I have been severely sexually harassed, enough that the person responsible was fired. So it's not like I can't sympathize with victims of harassment. Yes, it really is uncomfortable facing them, but it's also the right thing to do.

EDIT: Not clear why this is so controversial, but that doesn't beget trust, either. But it's true and I'll stand by it.
Google fucked it up by hogtying everything from the Play store to Youtube to that G+ account. Thus if you violated the G+ TOS you suddenly found yourself locked out of everything the account tied to.

Then again, the guy responsible for the mess was an ex-MS exec that continued the mentality of mentally tying his fief with everything else. Sadly Google is taking forever to untangle the knot (likely because it is unsexy maintenance work).
That's not a problem specific to lets encrypt, or anything else really.

If you don't want to introduce complexity, then your problem is that you don't have tooling in place when you run into a situation where you have to rotate certs.

It's tricky because we don't have good ground truth on what different word senses there are. (WordNet is not the final answer, especially as it separates every metaphorical use of the same word into its own sense.)

My experience is that you can distinguish word senses, but it seems the data isn't good enough to improve anything but a task that specifically evaluates that same vocabulary of word senses.

I see a sibling comment with link to spaCy's sense2vec, which uses the coarsest possible senses -- one sense for nouns, one sense for verbs, one sense for proper nouns, etc. It's a start.

I really think milo is correct when he says that Twitter would support anyone who is higher in the position of claiming to be victim. Whether that person is victim or not does not matter. Twitter does not stand for free speech for sure in my opinion.
The pattern I've seen over and over again is you have a core group of creators who are talented, but prickly or obnoxious in some way. The project creators spend years of their lives building the project and making it successful. Then others come into the project, and use real or imagined personal offenses to boot the creators out of the project. These usurpers don't have talent, but because the project is successful already, the impact of booting the creators doesn't become apparent for a while. The project, however, cut off from its engine, stagnates and dies.

Best example? Apple.

Maybe Appelbaum bucks this trend by not having the talent to balance his flaws. I don't know. But I'm pattern-matching against the phenomenon I described above, and so far, it looks like a perfect match.
I guess you could count self-help groups as a huge benefit. Or information distribution within towns/cities.

Nullable (in the C# sense) does not form a monad, because it does not form a functor, because you cannot write fmap, because it does not nest.

I personally have had to deal with someone who, IMO, is a psychopath - he forced the rest of us out of this non-profit using manipulation, etc while the rest of the organization (i.e. everyone else) make the mistake of empathising with him (assuming his behaviour was the result of personal stress). At the end, he flat out stated his end goal was to derive a salary from the donations the general public was making to the org, contrary to the organization's constitution... He's now commercializing the heck out of things while having a personal (and unstated) financial interest in the commercialization.

I stupidly hadn't asked enough questions about the back story of how this guy got involved with the previous incarnation of the organization - he came in, stirred up trouble, drove out the existing leadership and due to their missteps, was able to portray his behaviour as reasonable... when it became apparent he was losing some level of control over the current org, he did it all over again. My fault entirely for being not cynical enough and the other people for believing in his bullshit.

I understand your point of view, but until you have been in a real world situation where the legal system is COMPLETELY USELESS, you will never really understand how the world really works (aka reach 40, not a conservative, no brain etc). The amount of ambiguity inherent in evaluating human behaviour is a lot more than you think, and people like this use it to their advantage. And the legal system is very expensive, so trying to use it to achieve 'justice' tends to be, overall, not cost effective. The legal system is ONLY about monetary issues.

And people like Appelbaum know this - they know how to skate the line and to use the weaknesses of society, social relationships, the legal system ... to their advantage. Reading about Appelbaum triggered all my triggers about people who should be avoided. I really "get" this ideal of Solomon-like impartiality, but facts / evidence / scientific-ish attitude... you have to also understand people as well besides this to grok the truth and that requires actual wisdom. And over 40, you begin to understand that an awful lot of people have zero integrity, especially those whose primary goal is power of some sort.
You can't necessarily remove it. For example, there's a mechanism called the Windows Binary Platform Table that automatically copies an EXE from the UEFI image and executes it with kernel-level privileges on each boot. It's intended to be used to deliver drivers or anti-theft software after a clean install, but Lenovo was using it to deliver malware, and there's nothing you can do about it unless you have a signed image without the malware included.

The question was should we leave funding to internet campaigns, not will we. I can't imagine the OP is arguing that the ALS association shouldn't take the money or that people shouldn't donate. The OP is arguing that they shouldn't have to rely on these kinds of campaigns to solve large problems like this because we should increase public research funding.

True, though they do let users participate in genetic surveys that are aggregated and correlated for whatever end.
I think it is important to understand that this was in 1995 looking forward, as opposed to trying to create things that describe the current situation and cherry picking details to fit the narrative. I have often expressed the opinion that Donald Trump's campaign, and his vision for the country, is reflective of a fascist ideology. That is hard for someone to hear who doesn't consider themselves a fascist but supports Trump because it challenges them to see that both statements that they hold to be true, can not be true. To sway their feeling of cognitive dissonance they attack the facts and assert bias and cherry picking.

Umberto Eco knows nothing of Trump's campaign as he writes, so he cannot be cherry picking his facts out of the current affairs. That is why I consider it important to know this was written in 1995.
Applying the brakes is not "stopping what you're doing". It's doing a new thing. If you're "sitting in your car" and not doing anything else, the opposite is not sitting in your car, and doing that would not solve the problem at hand.
Engines have a different sound profile that makes comparing the sounds produced a little more complex. Further, on a highway the worst offenders have much worse engine noise than average.

Also, you can do a lot to reduce tire noise with things like low-noise asphalt, but it's rather pointless when your also using an IC engine. http://www.roadtraffic-technology.com/features/feature126199...
Yes, it does. The DHCP option will tell your _OS_ about the PAC file, but the browser won't ask the OS for that information unless the "Use system proxy settings" option (which is the default) is selected. The choices in this dialog map to the preference values I describe in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12175050 as follows:

"No Proxy": 0
"Auto-detect proxy settings for this network": 4
"Use system proxy settings": 5

"Automatic proxy configuration URL": 2
Thanks for the suggestion, great idea! However, it's really early days for us still- as the blog post mentions, we are still working on implementing the JIT and concurrent GC which are quite important to awesome performance. When we complete that work, we'd definitely keep a close eye on current industry benchmarks
It was great, agreed. I just started "Armada" and so far it seems like much of the same spirit of this novel.
I can't comment on the correct approach in that case, I'm under qualified. I would urge you to make sure you have good backups in a location that can't be compromised (as in, you won't wake up tomorrow to fine them all deleted). If your system already supports this, all the better. Keep in mind the worst case scenario here is that every production server is wiped, which is essentially close to the situation of a natural disaster at the site they are housed. If you don't have a plan on how to deal with a situation like this (disaster recovery/business continuity plans), such as redeploying to the cloud or to a different cloud, or a different datacenter, then that's a thought for the future (and the present if you have time).

I assume a professional computer security firm could help, but I don't know enough about the incentives at play to know whether that's good in practice (if they often deal with situations like this and not just hardening/forensics, I assume they would have good advice). I have no idea what that costs, and whether your business can afford it.

Not really. The hacker wants to get the most money from you possible, but also an amount that you are realistically able to provide otherwise he/she gets nothing. The maximum amount a company can realistically pay is probably much less than the total value of the company.

I read somewhere that given Apple's design esthetic, the iPhone will evolve to a slab of glass. It would look like a piece of art. Sounds right. Something with no holes. You can submerge in water. Screen would be all around, front, back, sides.
Okay, if you want this stated more directly:

I don't know the facts around this case, and frankly, I don't particularly care: that's his business and the business of his victims. If Applebaum is a rapist, he should be in jail, if not he shouldn't. Either way, society has decided that rapists shouldn't be allowed to do good things like contribute to Tor. This means that accusing people of rape (truthfully or not) is a viable attack on projects such as Tor. There's no denying that this incentivizes actors who want to weaken Tor to accuse people such as Applebaum of rape.

I think that at this point, keeping Applebaum involved in the Tor project would be bad for Tor, regardless of whether he did it or not, so conversations about whether or not he did it are rather academic.

If we're going to engage in academic speculation, I do think Applebaum did it. The other members of the Tor project seem to have investigated and concluded that (admittedly it's not 100% clear), and have little reason to lie about it.

However, this doesn't in any way mean that there wasn't foul play. Even if most rape accusations were true, that doesn't mean they all were, or that people came forward for altruistic reasons.

We do need to come up with defenses against the attack where people accuse people of rape to damage the projects they contribute to. One such defense is to not have any players in a project feature so prominently that a hit to their reputation is a hit to the reputation of the project.
Except that restaurants that have tried that have done rather poorly with it. Americans just aren't used to it, and until there's a larger campaign for it, it's not going to change. To be clear, this is a local restaurant and not a chain.

As he hasn't even been charged, he is considered innocent for sure. The contract of the presumption of innocence is between the citizen and government, as is freedom of speech.
> Why go through test points rather than directly detecting RF emission?

I'm guessing it comes down to making sure the signal is from the phone and not from an external source.

All modern wireless protocols have multiple devices share a single frequency range. Thus just listening for traffic on those ranges with an antenna will produce false positives.
Same thing happened to me! Though mine was not getting popular.
For example, in V8 a try/catch statement triggers the whole function to be deoptimized [1]

Chakra and SpiderMonkey fully optimize these functions even with a try/catch statement (according to 2 devs last time I talked about this [2]).

Without alternate engines, people start to think that implementation details in one engine apply to javascript as a whole.

Just look around at most javascript "performance tips". Most of them talk about how you should avoid try/catch in performant code, even though it's only one engine that doesn't optimize it, and they have talked about how they want to fix it, but just haven't [3].

And that's just one example, there are hundreds of examples of bugs, performance tricks, and even differences in spec interpretation that can cause issues and can inadvertently become a "standard" without multiple competing engines.

[1] More accurately, the function will never be optimized in the first place if it contains a try/catch at all since Crankshaft doesn't support try/catch.

[2] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10896729

[3] IIRC they haven't devoted time to optimizing it because the architecture of V8 doesn't work well with something like try/catch, but also because it's fairly simple to work around, and most people already do. So you kind of get a catch 22 where V8 won't spend time to fix it because it's not worth it, and it won't be worth it because V8 doesn't support it.
