One Metafilter user ("Riemann") makes the interesting point that a huge number of clay tablets that have been excavated remain untranslated, so it's quite possible that new candidates would turn up over time as scholars examine those artifacts.

In support of this, Wikipedia says (internal references removed):

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

> Between half a million and two million cuneiform tablets are estimated to have been excavated in modern times, of which only approximately 30,000 – 100,000 have been read or published. The British Museum holds the largest collection (c. 130,000), followed by the Vorderasiatisches Museum Berlin, the Louvre, the Istanbul Archaeology Museums, the National Museum of Iraq, the Yale Babylonian Collection (c.40,000) and Penn Museum. Most of these have "lain in these collections for a century without being translated, studied or published," as there are only a few hundred qualified cuneiformists in the world.

Edit: if you become a cuneiformist, maybe you can discover the new earliest known named person! I'm reminded of the exciting time that Amir Aczel had in locating the first-known written numeral zero in history.

(He has published a whole book on this if you want to hear a longer and more dramatic version of the story.)
Could they not also watch when a domain changes ownership and segment history based on the owner?

Over the time scales that archive.org holds on to data, domain ownership itself becomes part of the history. While permitting someone to hide a mistake for security reasons is reasonable, allowing erasure of past owners' history by the current owner is counter to their stated purpose.
well, you'd have to unwrap the values first. The call would be:

(equal variable (constant))

whether you think that's acceptable or not is up to you.

Towards the bottom of the article they note this:

The program launches in September with five categories of risk and reward:

Vulnerabilities in secure boot firmware components: Up to $200,000
Vulnerabilities that allow extraction of confidential material from Secure Enclave: Up to $100,000
Executions of arbitrary or malicious code with kernel privileges: Up to $50,000
Access to iCloud account data on Apple servers: Up to $50,000
Access from a sandboxed process to user data outside the sandbox: Up to $20,000
It's not really clear that anyone was criminally defrauded. The investors could opt to sue in civil court though.
Not to mention that the defendant usually cannot do the legwork from inside a cell.

I just found the coolest thing for anybody who’s curious about making money on the web.

Everybody knows about all the fake opportunities out there, but what about the “2%” of ones that are legit?

This guy shows you how to identify the REAL opportunities from the fake.

I'm not familiar with the market but these seem low when you consider:

- The effort required to find them

- The damage that can be inflicted on Apple in terms of brand goodwill and the subsequent loss of sales, e.g. The SEP implications for ApplePay

- The damage that can be inflicted on users and 3rd parties, e.g. imagine the amount of cash banks would be on the hook for if someone managed to say write a worm that used iMessage/SMS to propagate without user knowledge (e.g. with the recent TIFF vulnerability), and transfer funds from the user's bank account? Or made calls to the baseband to dial shady $10/minute premium rate numbers in some banana republic at 3AM every night?

- The amount of money TLAs and black market actors allegedly pay per the TC article.

- How much money Apple actually has, especially all the offshore cash that can't be repatriated to the US without incurring exorbitant capital gains. These bug bounties could be be remitted from any Apple subsidiary.

- Large bug bounties would de facto end jailbreaking

- Knowing Apple there would be endless NDAs and restrictive covenants before any payout is made.

IMO with all this considered the max payouts seem irrationally paltry.
Yeah, I found that very strange, too.
And you'd think they would at least propagate object types from texture image bindings (assuming GTA V doesn't use virtual texturing, though that could be worked around as well).

We usually strip the commit history since it's hard to audit the history for confidential info, but we don't normally remove comments when open-sourcing things. I'm not sure on the specifics of this case though.
The "positive" handprints are still surrounded by a halo. So, blow dust on wall, put hand on wall, blow different-colored dust over hand on wall? Either that or dip hand in dust, put hand on wall.
>Manipulate compound values directly!

I fail to see how Lisp can't do this. What does set-cdr! do if not directly modify a cons cell, which is a compound value? what about hash-table-set! and vector-set!?

A lot of people refer to VSCode as an IDE, but their PR doesn't call it anything more than an extensible editor (perhaps a distinction without a difference). I would hope, for JetBrains' sake, that their commercial IDE stays far ahead of a free editor enhanced by volunteers. That's what their customers are paying for.

I got used to the UI after some time and haven't had stability issues, but a lot of extensions I've tried have been half-baked or worse. My main complaint is that cold startup is too slow to use as an all-purpose editor.
Why chain-mail gloves? I guess it would react with plastic gloves, but wouldn't some peroxide get through the gaps in the chain-mail?

We do know that she doesn't have an intractable philosophical opposition because she acknowledges that her opposition is based on her circumstances. That's neither philosophical nor intractable. "Intractable" would be something like "I just believe it's totally wrong and won't entertain discussion otherwise."

Room for compromise comes from the fairly obvious approach of disassociating abortion from her personal circumstances... likely by sharing the author's stories about women he knows for whom abortion was a difficult but justified personal choice, not a spiteful act directed at the woman to shame her for being barren. With some empathetic discussion, this doesn't seem an unreasonable outcome. What more do you want, to believe that there is room for compromise?
I don't have any friends.

It depends on the color of the rock underneath. When white dust is blown on a dark surface one might get the impression of a handprint rather than the outline.
We are tiny unimportant ants on a tiny and unimportant planet floating meaningless through time and space and yet we are alive and are at the same time already distanced so far from the act of surviving. I think there is no point in anything, but consciousness and thoughts are a pretty awesome compensation to me.

I personally believe that quantum effects don't break the determinism, just because I like to. Otherwise there is more space for a god and I am to lazy to invent my own, while I am absolutely certain that the current ideas of him are wrong. I like the idea that there has been something at the beginning much more. Then it can be something simple like "time does not flow linearly" and you are done.

In the end it does not matter whether we will take even more blue pills or somehow get to experience the red pill. Either way it is a hell of a show and not boring at all.

> What does set-cdr! do if not directly modify a cons cell, which is a compound value? what about hash-table-set! and vector-set!?

These functions are precisely why lists and vectors are not first-class values in Lisp. When you have a “list”, what you actually have is a mutable object whose current state is one list, but a later point in time, its state might be a different list! You can't bind a list value to a variable - you're only binding the identity of an object that temporarily holds the value.

As the Buddhist saying goes: “The finger pointing at the moon is not the moon.” The identity and the state of an object are different things. The identity is first-class but it's not compound. And the state is compound, but it's not first-class.
-lead in electrical solder wire
As pointed out by other contributors, lead in electrical solder is not a big risk with appropriate handling (i.e. wash your hands) I've been soldering as a hobbyist since my teens and hand had lead blood levels checked (see below) with no issue.
Fumes from Rosin are a far greater risk and is a known cause of industrial asthma.

A much bigger risk of lead exposure is your local rifle range, esp. down range (i.e. the backboards / target area's)

Anecdotal warning TBH, but I meet a guy running an air rifle club and who also ran several other clubs up-to large bore shooting, and had been diagnosed with lead poisoning. He was also a re-loader, but blamed down range exposure.
Brazil, the same.
So very true, my primary job has been in tech for many years. But I find myself inserting found USB's in to my computer, at least I did it in the past.

There have already been some good suggestions on programs / things to keep him busy, so I thought I'd throw in some things to consider when encouraging a smart kid.

While it's often tempting to praise a kid when they do something right by telling them they're smart, it can detract from the critical notion that success comes from meaningful practice. Some psychologists have made an interesting case for focusing on praising the work that they have put in. Smart kids may be at risk for overestimating the role intelligence plays in learning, and thereby be more fragile when encountering failure.

This article gives an overview:

Ah good point, I didn't catch that.

My first salaried job was at $60k, which came out to roughly $3000/month take-home.

Utilities were split among roommates, but about $60-100 depending on the time of year. If you add in other recurring costs like internet and mobile phone, that can easily go up to $200-250, which is about 8%, so the parent's 10% isn't too far off (especially if you have to pay for heating/AC in more extreme climates).
It's the topic of one of Aesop's fables, so it's at least a widely observed phenomenon: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Boy_Who_Cried_Wolf
No doubt there's going to be some low-hanging fruit (speaking relative to the experience of the participants) that is going to get scooped up quickly, so why would they open the program at something higher? Just high enough to entice the experts to pick off the "easy" ones seems the intelligent thing to do.

When they go a year or two with no bugs found maybe you'll see them start upping the bid.
I'm also curious. If the peroxide explodes, a layer of chain mail could protect against cuts from the shrapnel, I suppose?

I actually think the vast majority does know their privacy is being violated, but just assumes that's how Internet use goes. They trust that minimizing their reliance on it for "important" things will minimize their exposure, while also not understanding the extent to which surveillance has taken over the physical world.

But alas this doesn't really apply to somebody who seemingly knows their privacy is being violated enough to complain, yet doesn't bother to take straightforward steps to rectify that.

A VPN will certainly not defeat NSA mass surveillance, and likely not adtech's surveillance. But it will most definitely force an ISP to remain a dumb pipe, which is what's under discussion here.

My previous apartment simply banned microwave popcorn as part of the lease. (Presumably if the alarm went off and your popcorn was found to be the culprit, you were considered in violation of your lease and evicted.)
I feel validated by the fact that somewhere in the world people walk home eating bread. The other night (at 03h30) I went into a 24-hour grocery and bought a ciabatta, ate it on the way home.

It crossed my mind that I had never once seen anyone do this, and by local standards it probably looked ridiculous.

Squashing Git Commits
This is an interesting sort of career path for people. A hundred years ago there was no such thing as a long-haul trucker, the only reliable way to get goods over vast distances was train if there was tracks or boat if there were navigable waterways.

Through the 1950s trucking became a force to recon with, and these days with seemingly everyone moving to zero-inventory systems it requires a degree of flexibility that rail can't afford.

Still, you have to wonder how many horse and buggy drivers were put out of business by long-haul truckers. A single motorized vehicle could do the work of twenty wagons which were probably the standard mode of transportation in many places until highways emerged.

Self-driving is just the next step.
Doesn't seem plausible. Some of the positives are the same dark color as the halo on some of the negatives. The rock looks to me like its all the same tan color underneath.

Also, take a look at the hires:

Are you using a punishment model or a discipline model? Some bright kids have a strong sense of justice and will react really poorly to being punished. The difference is this:

When my kids did something my husband did not like, he would take away a video game or lock up their controllers to make them suffer. He did not give them back until a set time had passed, even if their behavior improved.

In contrast, I took away a game or the controllers if the games per se were the cause of the problem. If they were fighting over a particular game or if they were taking a "10 minute" break from doing school work that turned into 2 hours of gaming. I would let them have it back if they resolved their problem or finished their school work.

My kids were vey loyal to me. They resented their dad and lied to him and so forth. They were not at all cooperative with a punishment model.

I have a few posts on a private parenting blog I am trying to develop and may eventually publish publicly. If you are interested in getting an invitation and reading what is there, send me an email with the subject "Memoirs of a mom".
Well end users have started using Linux and it is getting very popular ie chromebooks.Thing is for 90% of the people Linux is good enough. Its the other 10% though that make the most noise. And with Android apps coming to chromebooks. It won't be long before chromebooks becomes not just the most used Linux distribution but also the most use desktop OS. Android is unlikely to be bumped as the most used OS though.

Yes, competition tends to be bad for most individuals (who lose) but good for society.

China of course started taking off recently too after capitalist reforms in the 80s. The US, arguably one of the most "pull-yourself-up-from-your-bootstraps" of nations has done pretty well, despite lack of social programs. And back to Europe, I do think it was held back due to the forced conformity to the Church (IMO Christianity held back European science for hundreds of years).

So yes, culture is a very big current as far as steering people!

I thought of both of those possibilities, but I don't think they can explain these images.

1. For the dark colored positives I don't see any evidence of the dark color bleeding through the light halo. Also, some of the positives have fingers that are faded, and some are overlaid by negatives. A light halo overlaying a dark base layer can't account for those.

2. The positives are too solid to simply be handprints. If you just make a handprint, it will have gaps in the center of the palm and between the palm and fingers (among other places). But all the images are solid silhouettes.
The Cloud Is Bigger Than You Think, Much Bigger
The first recorded writer probably was a male, indeed.

That's because most ancient societies were blatantly misogynistic. It's unlikely women were afforded the opportunity to be educated or trained in the scholastic, monastic, or financial professions which were most likely to leave some form of written record.

So, yeah, the odds, based on historical predicates, are that the first recorded human's name was a male name. But not necessarily (or even likely) because of the author's claim that males seem to be more prone to be early adopters.

Nor is it at all likely that many of the hostile commenters on this author's article have the right idea that women in ancient history were equal contributors to society's evolution. They probably were not. Not because of any intrinsic inferiority of women, but because of the male-oriented power dynamics that clearly dominated most ancient societies.

Those click bait and fake news sites can be a pain. About a month ago, I discovered that one of them had taken a pic of me and used it in an article about a Canadian guy with a micropenis being denied euthanasia (!).

Through reverse image search and other tools, I found that at least five other sites had copied the article and pic verbatim.

Took over a week of sending DMCA requests to get all of them removed.
The encoding of compound values as functions is actually more complicated than that:

;; pair constructor
(defun make-pair (x y)
(lambda (f)
(funcall f x y)))

;; projection from pairs
(defun former (x y) x)
(defun latter (x y) y)

;; test pairs
(defvar foo (make-pair 1 2))
(defvar bar (make-pair 1 2))

;; equality test
(defun equal-pairs (x y)
(and (equal (funcall x #'former) (funcall y #'former))
(equal (funcall x #'latter) (funcall y #'latter))))

;; try it
(equal-pairs foo bar)

And this was just for pairs of primitive values. You don't even want to imagine how painful it is to represent arbitrarily complex compound values this way.
> if you say "judge on facts and data alone, without listening",

I didn't say "without listening". I meant that it is better to pay attention to facts instead of positions or opinions. It's not important that your conversation partner believes X or claims that "Y is obvious". Instead you should pay attention when your conversation partner points on "people measured X in in such and such a way and found Y". Collect evidence in your head, not opinions or other people's' summaries of the evidence.

I agree that in many cases there is no obvious correct answer. In those cases I think it is reasonable not to take a strong position. We should make decisions and compromise by examining objective facts in tandem with our own ethics and values, not by examining others' ethics and values.

To be specific, I should evaluate facts about abortion rates, fetal development, and family planning outcomes in the context of my own ethical worldview. If I want to change my ethics, then the conversation should be about ethics instead of abortion.

> how will we ever get in agreement

I believe in many cases, we will not come to agreement. Many people will never change their mind on abortion (in either direction). The goal is to be happy and improve ones own worldview without it being necessary to agree or to figure out why the other person is biased.
