Very interesting! (I say this as someone interested in emulation in general, I sadly am not familiar with Burroughs equipment, although I know the name is synonymous with early cutting edge design.)

Does Tor use it's own port? If so, how hard would it be to switch it to use something like 80, 23, or even 8080?

In my experience, the more intelligent dogs tend to get bored less easily, enjoy their time with humans more, and learn better about which behaviors are appropriate and desired.

Of course, I could be an awful judge of dog intelligence.
I've reviewed this document, but where does it say that this can't be a toy version of the item? Many emojis are cartoon versions. I can even run over cartoon people with cartoon trucks. I can even use my new apple toy gun with toy people.
As far as deterrents, I think the evidence is that it is of limited effect, though some studies say more: http://www.economist.com/blogs/freeexchange/2016/03/criminal... I don't think terrorists care much about jail terms or emojis.
I'm sure the GP knows many things I don't. The only point of my post was the definition of the word cynical. It's probably fair to say that skepticism is an admirable trait while cynicism isn't. Feynman was a proponent of skepticism not cynicism.

How many kiloseconds will you spend working next week?

Even in metric-using countries, nobody uses it for time.

For actual applications of spherical trig though degree, minute, second makes a lot of sense, primarily because the earth rotates about one arc second every 4 minutes, and if you know this then you can do manual navigation via the stars and many other things.

However for many things I do use metric time, just not for the human aspect of it. For example, for one customer (admittedly in the sciences), we had to help them estimate how much hardware they needed for additional load. So you do the work in seconds because at that point the math is easiest, and convert to ratios following.
I've been using kdiff3 for years (it is also my default git mergetool). I see others use Meld. Ediff (emacs' diff). What are other open source/free tools like that people use?
We could make the device a millimeter thicker so as to maintain the "up to 10 hours" battery life of the Macbook.
I would operate on the condition that the standard denotes that items representing the unicode can be flavored/styled to the producers desires, but should not misrepresent the item/object being conveyed. A water gun != a pistol and a laser gun != a pistol. Both are altogether different items/objects. If Windows/Apple want unicode for those objects they should appeal to the standards board to make it happen. It would be acceptable to hide the pistol emoticon in their UI while still allowing it to display correctly when used. Masking it as something it is not is just misleading though.

As a recently minted family doc with a tech background, a tech background only helps a little bit with your medical training; if you are just starting undergrad you can try your hand at genetics, computer science, bioengineering, biostats, etc.; however these can have negative impact on your gpa and science gpa, so be careful.

Getting into med school, completing medical school and completing residency are all difficult tasks in and of themselves.

If you know you want to focus on certain areas of tech there are also a few add on fellowships after residency.

Getting an internship or job in biotech, or even working as a medical scribe may help you more in the long run.

If you have extra cycles and really want to learn to code you could add a CS minor to your degree or take a bunch of the online Computer Science courses (typically CS assumes that you've had 2 years of advanced math ( calculus, differential equations, etc.)

Under no circumstance would I recommend delaying undergraduate graduation to add on these extra skills, Rather get a masters in an in-between year, or if you're really crazy there are some combo MD/Phd and DO/Phd programs.

But outdoor activities are probably a better use of you time, take up running, cycling, swimming. Something that you can do anywhere to take care of yourself and that reduces your stress level.
Interesting point of view. The full-sized keyboard on this proposed device is exactly in keeping with that. Smaller, and you can't type productively.
Did they have full-sized keyboards? Were they high-end devices, like $799, as opposed to crappy netbooks?
I feel the same way as GP, I may have gotten it from early forum emoticon sets where it renders with a variation on this: http://i.imgur.com/Clpg5V4.png
The only problem with that is limited levels of trust - e.g. if you have Tor support baked into your browser, you have to trust that the magic "Tor on" button isn't compromised.

This isn't a problem that just using Tor in an existing browser install is supposed to solve/be any better at, but it suddenly becomes an incredible target for any state actors/other large-scale entities who know they're going to want to suppress communication shortly.

That's what I thought. The closest you can get to viewing onion URLs outside of Tor is a website like Tor2web[0]. The downside of these solutions is that you don't get the benefit of onion routing.

code as data, however, does become an important concept in becoming really good at Perl or Python (and I would assume Ruby etc), and understanding common pitfalls here also helps one spot, for example, LSP problems and provide better solutions (because most LSP problems can be solved by replacing a mutator with something that returns a new object).

In Javascript, also, effectively you have to work with code as data.

So this isn't just about writing macros. There are a lot of areas where this does touch things.

Oh no!

Wait.. it's all satire and none of it is true.
Waste of my time.
That is your preference, however the question here is what the unicode consortium thinks.
I think that if a device has a physical keyboard, it should be a full-sized keyboard. If not, get rid of it and have a smaller, thinner, lighter device.

Having a crappy keyboard is IMO the worst of both worlds — you get neither the productivity of a full-sized keyboard nor the thin-and-lightness of a keyboard-less device.

Which is why I chose a full-sized keyboard for this device. Some reviews of iPad keyboards, for example, begin by suggesting you don't buy one, instead buying a full-sized keyboard: http://thewirecutter.com/reviews/the-best-ipad-keyboard-case...
You could do that if the device has a 360-degree hinge. Then you can fold it and lean it against a stand.

I think the other poster has spoken to #2 pretty well, but as for #1, I've had a USB OBDII dongle plugged into my car continuously for the last two years without issue.

In New Zealand, I'm fairly sure that the standard is to use diameter to measure wire. It's something like 2 mm for a 10 Amp circuit.

Category Theory isn't very useful for learning the theoretical underpinnings of the language itself.
Okay, I'll play devil's advocate here.

There's a huge (but not insurmountable) lock-in effect behind wire gauges. All the wire I can buy is sized in it. All the wire strippers, crimpers, pins, sockets, plugs, jacks, terminal strips, insert/removal tools and clamps I can buy are sized around the AWG standards. Bulkhead passages in ships and aircraft are sized for carrying certain numbers of wires of certain gauges in bundles. Tens of millions of engineering drawings specify wire sizes in AWG.

So why should we in the US change all of this? Just for the sake of being "modern"? I'll need a more persuasive argument than that.
When it says the non-commercial version lacks "High-Performance Multi-Threading", does that mean all decompiles are going to be single-threaded, or every kind of worker in the entire platform, or ?

I (mostly) understand the rationale of not wanting to make it easy to bulk-decompile binaries for supposedly "non-commercial" users, but I'd be wary of seeing how much personal usability suffers before signing the dotted line.

I find it interesting that 99.9% (e.g. a failure rate of 1/1000) is considered "good".

On a traditional CPU, if it gave the wrong answer 1/1,000,000,000 that would probably result in a recall.

So where to 3/8" and 5/16" threads play into this? They aren't easily divided by 2, or multiplied by 2 to make a larger thread.
Why have a standards body at all if it's just going to be up to the 3rd parties to determine what is going to be displayed then? Like I said before, they should be free to display each unicode item/object artistically how they see fit, they should however not be free to change what item/object is to be conveyed entirely.
Parallelism and concurrency aren't the same thing. Normally I wouldn't nitpick something like that, but it seemed important to clarify that in the context of talking about very esoteric distributed system considerations.
UK is mostly similar to the US, but without a gun-rights, anti-abortion or evangelical vote.

Old left = unions, basic social services, getting women into education in the workplace - but still ok with religion.

New left = environmentalism, gender feminism/'white privilege'/'male privilege', all migrants are legal, free university, gay marriage, very weary of Christianity

Old left = working class, factory workers etc.

New left = urbanites, minorities, young people in or just out of school

Obviously they are not entirely different things.

But the 'new left' is not 'class based' as it used to be.
Porque no los dos? Polarized languages have all the correct semantics and a value/computation distinction and their categorical models aren't that much more complicated than a plain old category.
Mojio[0] makes a neat integrated device that hits some of the same bullet points as this.

I said just that, twice: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12240669, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12240622

The reason why I care more about values is that, in a general-purpose language, computations will always be somewhat ill-behaved. As far as I can tell, the most we can aspire to is to “cordon off” the misbehavior so that it doesn't infect values - which is exactly what strict languages do, and lazy languages don't do.
agreed. this is the biggest news a privacy advocate could ever want. How do Google and Microsoft compete? They've pretty much set on a path of VPN'ing everyone over Tor by default.

Perhaps it's too much to ask if they'd do the same for i2pbrowser?
There is one more way to make sure that variables do not stand of bottom -- make sure that you only write terminating functions. Then the equational theory for strict and lazy evaluation becomes the same.

I think this is the main reason that people don't worry too much about bottom: in practice all functions should terminate anyway. If your program gets stuck in an infinite loop, you probably have bug.
That is your opinion and you are free to hold it but what matters here is what the Unicode Consortium thinks.
I wonder what this does to fedex/ups business model?

Sometimes they terminate with an exception.

This would be a miracle for privacy advocates. However, I'm worried that Mozilla could become irrelevant in the meantime. I say this as a die-hard Firefox user (I even refuse to use any of the forks that remove the branding).

Mozilla needs to be making moves that keep them relevant. This move is great for some privacy-minded folks who don't know that the Tor Browser Bundle exists, but unfortunately... most people don't care about their privacy online.

Does Mozilla even have a path they can take that keeps Firefox from dying a slow death? I say this because I love what they do - they're the only major browser developer that is interested in protecting their users instead of their profits. They need to start acting like the situation is getting dire.
It would be interesting to know what this tweet was really about however
So, since this is asking for what boils down to a cheap/disposable android device, what is the cheapest one you can buy readily without resorting to sketchy ebay sellers, etc.? Used/refurb is fine.

I agree, it would be nice to have the Unicode Consortium come out and address these issues.
Apparently, "lithium-air" is a term for lithium-oxygen batteries, not solely those relying on ambient oxygen. While the MIT news writeup only refers to other batteries using "lithium-air", the ANL press release refers to it as "a lithium-air battery". [1] [2]

So while lithium-oxygen is possibly more correct, both seem to be valid usage.

Yes, it's simply childish on Apple's part.
The 99% threshold is that required for error correction protocols to work. So imagine a thousand of these 99.9% error rate gates with some error correction routine on top of that so that the net effect is one very reliable gate. Where "very" depends on how many of these unreliable gates you use. But below 99% error rate none of this stuff works and so the whole scheme (quantum computers) can't get off the ground.
Yeah, that's much nicer for your use case than bup.

We see that % share is going down for Firefox, but is there any indication that total number of users is dropping for Firefox? I suspect that as more people have been getting on the internet, the absolute number of FF users is actually going up. It stands to reason that Firefox isn't dieing at all.
Whoa, I'd never even heard of that! This kind of learning is why I keep coming back and talking honest. Thanks for mentioning that.

There's something to be said for understanding manufacturer profit objectives, but in the context of the contest reaching for something "iffy" like what won didn't make sense when a reasonable alternative could show statistically significant benefits.

"stole"? Come on it's a generic name anyone might come up with. Dial back the rage for a night.
I mean, I think it's a cool idea, but I kind of hope not. Firefox is the only browser that seems to consistently be able to play video at my work, because of aggressive firewalls. If they enable tor by default, it's pretty much guaranteed that it'll be uninstalled from all company machines.
Ah so you did. I think your opinion is fair. I care more about computations because they're easier to compose than values. i suppose those are the two major camps on the issue.
Hmm. In India, education, laws, governance, pretty much every sphere of power, last I looked, is run in English, for the English (vestiges).

China, like most nations, may aspire towards Western nations, but K-pop/Internet/TV inspired fads are no match for such awesome structures enforces under the threat of violence.

Your signal doesn't have to be bigger than the noise. But your effective channel bandwidth is limited by the signal/noise ratio:

<quote>

Shannon’s channel capacity criteria for noisy channels
Given a communication channel with bandwidth of B Hz. and a signal-to-noise ratio of S/N, where S is the signal power and N is the noise power, Shannon’s formulae for the maximum channel capacity C of such a channel is

C = B log (1 + S/N)

(log is to base 2)

For example, for a channel with bandwidth of 3 KHz and with a S/N value of 1000, like that of a typical telephone line, the maximum channel capacity is

C = 3000 * log (1 + 1000) = 30000 bps (approx.)

On SETI's use of the Hydrogen line:

<quote>

The hydrogen line (1420.40575 MHz) is the precession frequency of neutral hydrogen atoms, the most abundant substance in space. It happens to fall in the quietest part of the radio spectrum, what's known as the Microwave Window. Although there may not seem to be a lot of loose hydrogen atoms about (there's perhaps one per cubic centimeter of interstellar space), the interstellar medium contains a lot of cubic centimeters. So these individual atoms chirping away at 1420 MHz make a powerful chorus, which is readily detected by even small radio telescopes.

</quote>

http://www.setileague.org/askdr/hydrogen.htm

At 1420 MHz, even with an S/N of 1/1000, you'd have about 2,048 kbaud channel, if I'm doing my maths right. Given that an intentional signal could be highly directional, this seems possible.
I broke my Chrome instance and decided to give Firefox a try, and I must say it has A LOT of usability problems compared to Google's. I'd say Mozilla has a lot to work on to avoid losing users, if they aren't already.
This is not to bring Tor into Firefox. Tor has been using an older, forked version of Firefox. This would go back to using the mainline version of Firefox.

True. And that may be the reason the Indian digital space never took off - cause we had the luxury of that tiny market. In China, and elsewhere, markets in various services took off because they spoke Chinese, and that's likely in India as well.It's already happened in TV, in print, on Radio - even MTV speaks "Indian" :)
So just stop trying?
