Interesting, anecdotally, I went to three different universities and they all barred this from happening without an explicit override from a professor or occasionally an adviser. Just curious what experience you have that makes you say this?
Surely. But that assumes they consider the possibility I'm using Dvorak. And if I switch which keyboard layout I'm using it'll help more. (But honestly that's likely to be too much bother and I wouldn't follow through with that practice.)

Being merely poor sucks in an environment that is stacked to keep you down by merely ENVIRONMENTAL means. Not even propoganda.

As I said before, if you eat substandard food, don't give your body stress in manageable amounts (exercise), and are constantly bombarded by a level of stimuli unthinkable to someone from 1800...

Being "poor" or even "homeless" doesn't have to suck as bad. From experience, the whole homeless shelter (particularly within Veteran Affairs) system is ripe for disruption. You wouldn't believe how much money is wasted on absolute bullshit (coughAnyoneWithASocialWorkDegreecough) as opposed to simple procedures and steps which actually help a person to not be homeless.

Two things which persisently keep a lot of homeless people down are a lack of employable skills and a lack of supportive social networks that keep a person "in the game" so that they're not bored and smoking crack.
Yep. The whole user flow for a Facebook lead might need to be different. I try and treat acquisition channels as differently as possible, within reason. For example, your organic traffic may behave completely differently than your Facebook Ads traffic and that may be happening for a variety of reasons. Organic traffic is targeted and active. Someone was likely searching for something highly related to your product. The same goes for paid search traffic. However, Facebook and other display ad traffic is passive. You're targeting someone who may be interested in your product but they aren't actively seeking it out. Those clicks are much different! I'd probably throw a much heavier sell at those people and make sure your actively on-boarding and engaging them to use the product throughout the trial period. They are likely to be far less motivated than other types of traffic, so it's your job to get them motivated!
This thing has I2S, meaning that you can hook up an audio codec to it. I wonder if it could handle stereo audio without underrunning the output stream?
Rather missing the point I fear.

Sure, that would be an issue. They tend to vary quite a bit more than my regular typing though. And I often go weeks or months without hunt-n-pecking, so it's really not a practiced method with a consistent timing.
I don't know about the structure of PARC, but I suspect it's not quite as comparable to Bell Labs as you make it sound.

Weren't both of them funding some of their research projects via direct government (DARPA, etc) grants?

AT&T was a government monopoly. They had no meaningful competition that required rapidly innovating AT&T's core products, and they had lots of profit due to their monopoly status. They could afford to dump money into research (in addition to whatever gov't research grants they were getting) and still have plenty of profit left over. That's not quite government funding of research, but many economists will say that given its monopoly status, what it did was de facto government action.

PARC did some great things but they didn't have as broad a range of research as Bell Labs, did they? Xerox never had a monopoly like AT&T did, although I'm fairly sure they got plenty of government research grants.

There were also a lot of open fields in hardware and software that were just starting to be explored back then. Tech companies were investing plenty of brainpower and money into R&D, given little pushes by government grant availability. I think the difference in AT&T's case was the breadth of research due to how much profit they had... again, due to monopoly status.
I wonder how much energy you can harvest from FM broadcast radios stations, those signals are pretty strong.

Edit: I calculated a power flux density of 2.648µW/cm^2 from 3.16mV/m (70 dBµ) which is the 'city-grade contour' in the US.
There seem to exist a patent for that, from a company called Freevolt (http://www.getfreevolt.com/).
Hacking Evolution:Mitochondrial Gene Transfer by SENS Research Foundation
Why GitHub finally abandoned its bossless workplace
On what is this based?

You mean similar to the timing for the abolishment if roaming costs?
All in time.. I'm expecting the banishment first..
For almost a decade the SENS Research Foundation has helped to fund research by various groups on the allotopic expression of mitochondrial genes, a way to both cure mitochondrial disease and, more importantly, prevent mitochondrial DNA damage from contributing to the aging process. Allotopic expression works by creating backup copies of important mitochondrial genes in the cell nucleus, altered so that the resulting proteins can make their way back to the mitochondria where they are needed.

Finally the long awaited peer reviewed paper showing the transfer of Stable nuclear expression of ATP8 and ATP6 genes has been published and is a long anticipated proof of concept of one of the key concepts of the SENS repair of aging approaches. We are reaching the point where hacking human biology and aging is becoming a reality.

ITT was anything but a ladder of economic mobility. It preyed on those people who most needed that mobility. The institutions you're squeamish about harming are community colleges, which have much cheaper tuitions and actually do educate students.
Can we talk about what a fucking terrible visualization the elephant chart is? We often note how useless "fastest growing" is, because it is easy to get large changes when you have a small denominator. So income can grow worldwide for the bottom by 100% and only add a few dollars to their wealth. Meanwhile the top 1℅ might add 25% to their income at millions of dollars.

This is a chart designed to make us feel good about poor people getting a pittance. Meanwhile the top 100 people in the world have more wealth than the bottom fifty percent. We need growth of tens of thousands of percent at the bottom for decades to move forward.
Really?

TOR interests me but I'd never run an exit node because I'm assuming one of three things is gonna come out of it: dissidents, criminal activity, or spook traffic (it was literally made by and for naval intelligence /the CIA).

You can make an ethical argument for the first one but I still don't want any of those three running out of my machines...
You're confusing two different things. Theories of markets say that in the long term competition will drive profits in any given industry to a nominal level. They don't say that the people who already have capital won't be able to use that capital to keep riding the wave of large profits in industries before they hit equilibrium.
Looks simple, nice expoloration.

Tales from Comcast’s data cap nation: Can the meter be trusted?
Computers would be darn boring without calculus. Graphics, games, audio, animation - basically anything enabling creativity on a computer needs calculus tools. The interesting bits start to happen once one has built sufficient substrate out of the discrete parts. This is my personal opinion only, of course.
I have an interesting anecdote about GC development - I know of a game that almost released on GC that would break the drive on every console it was played on - a developer responsible for the loading code used an undocumented method to increase the read speed from the optical drive, so that data would stream in sufficiently fast for the game. Unfortunately, that was more than the drive was designed for, and it would actually die after few hours of use that way. QC reported some of their test consoles dying, but Nintendo ruled they must have been defective, and replaced them - and the game actually went to manufacturing like that. The whole release was halted a week before it was due because someone spoke to the guy and asked how he got the data streaming to work quickly enough.

You could do something similar with PS1, PS2 and PSP - use undocumented methods to overclock the CPU and make them run quicker.
I had never heard of Krypton before, but the decisions and the message in that article make it abundantly clear that I won't need to bother.

A hundred thousand identically-failing phones of a single model is definitely widespread!
Given the continuous grows of administrative personal and cutting of faculty positions the quality of the job they do is deteriorating quickly.
This is extremely dangerous tech in the hands of any law enforcement or government agency. We've already seen multiple cases of police in the US destroying video evidence, disabling dashcams, and deleting videos from people's cell phones. Given the ability to jam people's cellular signal it's all but certain it will be misused to cover up wrongdoing.

Technology like this will also undoubtedly be used to disrupt and harass activists and protesters.

And really, what risk is there for law enforcement in using this stuff? If they get caught, maybe a few cases get thrown out but as it stands no one is likely to go to jail for illegal surveillance.
How about 'fully funding public colleges' instead so that kids don't have to go into crippling debt to go there.
You're mistaking the purpose of most public colleges -- it is not to educate students, but this is a service that they provide. ITT on the other hand, is only attempting to teach.

Community College.

Your usual example here is how hard it is to get a domain-auth cert for google.com, but what about a small e-commerce site? What should they do to prevent a bad guy from getting a domain-auth cert by spoofing DNS? Honestly asking for my education (and others).
How AI may affect urban life in 2030
I was really expecting a serious discussion about useless and dangerous flags, outdated encryption, expensive and dangerous renegotiations... I got a one line complaint about "network traffic" (take a read about latency and bandwidth difference!), caching, and bad tooling (go learn some better tooling, it's out there).

There are plenty of things to complain about in TLS, but the article touches none of them. What a bummer.
I'm a software guy and had never picked up a soldering iron in my entire life.

Took me all of 2 days start to finish.

I don't think it's a decent assumption for "almost everyone" in the west. I'd say it often is the case that you won't have enough free time for such studies unless you trade cash (income) for the free time. At which point you may not have much after paying the bills. Or you're unemployed and, well, don't have the cash. You suggest trading some of that free time for cash, as if unemployment were something people solve by snapping their fingers and choosing to make a trade. That sounds a bit insulting towards all the people (who are many) that struggle with unemployment in western countries.

I agree the required power must have grown since 2014. But not knowing by which factor, one can only assume it's still feasible.

I can't find any source for it, but I remember reading not so long ago that 2 or 3 mining pools were responsible for 2/3 of the total bitcoin mining power. That's not something in favor of trusting the blockain as infallible.

> Young people can walk and drive longer distances, and so normally have less reason to remain lonely, I would guess.

Where would a young person walk or drive to, if there is no-one to visit?

> Do lonely young people continue to be lonely mainly because they don't know how to initiate social interaction?

That's probably part of it. One can't walk up to random people and introduce oneself without being seen as some sort of creep or weirdo, after all.

> Or because they don't realize that companionship is what they need?

That probably doesn't help either.

That's a different story than claiming that actual Native Americans that are offended by it should just "suck it up."

I can give other examples. For example, this past weekend saw an air show about downtown Toronto as part of the Canadian National Exhibition. There was talk of how the thundering of the jets flying over downtown wasn't necessarily "enjoyed" by people that have been in war-zones (e.g. Syrian refugees). I don't think that there was any suggestion that the air show should be scrapped on this basis, but still there were people claiming that the refugees should "just get over it" because they are not in a war zone anymore. This is incredibly insensitive. Someone in my own family expressed the view point that after a couple of years out of the war zone that they should "get over it."

Quantum Computers Are Coming - The World Might Not Be Ready
The dream: take students who are mostly unprepared to succeed at college and educate & prepare them for success in the real world.

The reality: most of these students will not realize a return on the investment of their time and acquisition of a ton of debt that they cannot discharge in bankruptcy. Many will fail to attend class, fail to take notes, fail to do homework, fail to learn, and will not complete - but because they have already sunk huge costs into the endeavor, will continue incurring more costs in spite of the writing on the wall.

The economics means that these schools are unsustainable. However, some people find success through these schools. How can we continue to serve these people?

Perhaps we could avoid throwing the baby out with the bathwater by creating more community colleges, allowing more people to enroll in affordable community colleges, complete milestones at their own pace, while providing more direct subsidies of tuition for the truly needy. I agree that we would benefit from more German-style apprenticeship programs as well. For all of their worker protections, they still have incredibly low youth unemployment.
I find that educational institutions are incredibly good at killing motivation. And I can't have peace of mind knowing that only the constantly accumulating debt helps me pay the bills during a five or six-year session that I might not be able to endure due to the said killing of motivation. And that even if I graduated with a degree, it wouldn't automatically secure a job I like or a happy life.

The problem often is the delta between perfect, and done. It's hard, as a creator, to realize when something is great in other people's eyes. The creator looks at their work and cringes. Everyone else looks at it and claps. It's that delta that creates the drive for perpetual development.

What is bad is this state where companies expect open source to cater to their whims and not putting in the resources to help maintain/develop projects with stretched resources - that is far worse than the (dubious) unprofessionalism of the Bootstrap maintainers' decision here.

Bootstrap 3 is probably more stable than the CSS most people typically write in all probability. I don't see the problem here, and this typical knee jerk reaction to carefully made open source decisions really sucks & does a disservice.
Yep, community colleges are where it's at. I started at a small local college a half-step up from a community college as it offered 4 year degrees. Got a year's worth of credits there to establish a good record and then transferred out to an ivy.

My brother got his 4 year degree from the same college, moved onto a master's at a bigger school and is doing quite well.

The Realtek is a competitor, the Nordics you mention are not. The nRF24L01 uses a proprietary radio. Some of the nRF chips are popular for Bluetooth Low Energy especially given that they do have Cortex M processors that can be used to run applications, but it ain't a competitor without WiFi.
What do you mean by self-hosting, here? You compile the compiler with itself? Isn't this just cross-compilation?

(Which, I should add, mine doesn't support. My compiler is written in Forth, but it isn't compiler isn't compiled in Forth --- the Forth subset it's written in is precompiled ahead of time. With awk.)
Judging by the backlog of bugs they wiped out or moved over to v4, clearly it does need maintaining. CSS and JS both always find a way to behave oddly in fringe cases, so yes they do need bug fixes here and there. I absolutely understand that if it was fine for production yesterday, it's fine for today. And I'm not going to let this stop me from using v3. I just think it's rather unprofessional or at least hasty to ditch v3 before v4 is finalized. And it's not like this is some tiny little side project like a js slider or whatever, it's (for better or worse) a very large part of modern frontend web development.
Hum, no.

DANE is centralized, so it solves the same problem the CA system solves, just slightly better.

This is of course correct, at least if you ignore the implied meaning, which is a "group of". And yes I know that a two people could be called a group.

But what is more important is that you illustrate the hypocritical argument, that if a "number of people" do object the participation of another speaker it is ok to uninvite him. Nodovember should be more concrete or shut up.
