>elephants are actually far more valuable alive than dead...Every elephant killed will earn a poacher just a few hundred dollars...a live elephant can earn more than a million dollars for communities involved in eco-tourism...

Poachers are driven by money, why not hire them as eco-tourism guides. For them they get a stable income and no threat of death by soldier. I guess when you hire one poacher, another 10 are waiting to begin poaching...?
Well, I for one am non-rhetorically, legitimately curious about how well human sorters do.
You just immediately change the master password and delete previous versions of the database file ?

It’s really weird that the Church-Turing thesis, which is ridiculously robust at first order, falls apart so comprehensively at higher type.

A statement like that makes me feel like Neel Krishnaswami does not understand the Church-Turing thesis at all (what does the Church-Turing thesis even mean at a "higher type"), but considering that this person has significant experience in this field, much more than I do, I am just going to assume that it is me who does not understand until I read up on this exactly.
But if anyone looks at a diff, it looks like all the lines have changed, instead of just one, taking just a tiny bit more cognitive overhead.
Something doesn't have to be a catastrophe to suck. Losing clothes because the business you paid screwed up sucks.

Virtually everyone on the planet uses drugs of some kind, and they generally see nothing wrong with it. The vast majority of humans go through their entire lives without caring about ivory, and those who do care usually come down on the side of not killing elephants. The lesson to draw from the drug war isn't "bans don't work," but rather "bans don't work when you ban something nearly ubiquitous that people don't see anything wrong with."

Olduse.net: a 30-year delayed Usenet feed (2013)
UDP has no back pressure, that's the point here.

And as observed elsewhere in this thread, some OSs have tragically small buffers (128K). Its absolutely vital to keep those buffers from filling in ambitious apps.

I wrote audio/video/screenshare communications code for years. In the bursty situation I described, the whole point is to offload the ip stack buffer into the app buffer at high speed.
Devil's advocate, the majority of that time can be spent doing other activities in or around the laundromat.
my approach to this consists of 4 security "levels":
1. I have one "throw away" password for services I don't give a fuck about
2. 2 passwords for ordinary services (breach cannot cause any serious harm and I can reset the password over my e-mail)
3. 2 other passwords (pretty easy to memorise but almost impossible to guess) that I use for my school mail, IDE, other mail accounts
4. a unique password coupled with two factor auth I only use for my primary gmail - as long as I have ownership of that, I can restore access to basically any other account I use.

ad. 1: I find it a pretty good idea to also have a secondary junk mail for signing up to these services - just in case they give my e-mail to someone for spamming or get breached.
That's completely irrelevant to Downtown Brooklyn, which this article is about, and as mentioned is an incredibly well connected area for transit. It has far better train service than the vast majority of Manhattan.

Thank you!

For spammers specifically, you're correct in that our service could possibly be used to gather emails by someone with the intention of spamming. This is true though really for any lead generation type service.

While we will be offering a free plan level, it will be very limited in terms of the number of emails you can find. In order to get more requests, there will be paid monthly plans. To be honest, the crawler part of our service is something sophisticated spammers have probably been doing for awhile now, and wouldn't see the benefit of paying for, for their specific uses.

With regards to the privacy concern, our crawler only finds emails that have been publicly posted. It also follows the standard rules expected of web crawlers today. For users to find emails, they must do so by a specific domain name, so for instance you couldn't just search for John Doe and find a Gmail address.

This isn't about the truth this is about representing the interests of your client, if you as a lawyer are serving your own interests for example by not advising them very strongly to take a settlement knowing that they are most likely going to lose in court just because your cut form the proposed settlement isn't enough in you taste you have committed a gross violation of the codes of ethics of the legal bar, you can be disbarred for it, and are liable to be sued for legal malpractice.

"Truth and Justice" do not exist out of context, these are meaningless terms even with applied arbitrarily to the legal system.

Your product has to be absolutely extraordinary to pass such an extensive list of vetting partners [1], in which case there's a good chance you would do fine selling on your own and generating your own word of mouth buzz if you ask me.

It's silly they only compared it to a normal on-screen keyboard and not any other input methods, predictive or not (Swype, etc.).

It should be also be noted that their speech tests were done in a controlled, silent environment. I'd expect the error rate and time to complete a phrase would dramatically increase in a noisy room.

The CPU loaded a bytecode program into the PRU's memory and told it to run.

The PRU ran a bytecode execution engine that was handcoded in assembly. The core of the engine was a loop:

- perform the routine for the current bytecode

- when the routine finished, spin on the PRU's embedded timer (the IEP) until 256 ticks (1.28us) had passed since the start of the cycle

- advanced to the next bytecode and repeated

External devices were connected either via I2C (those that didn't need super-tight timing) or to the pins controlled by the PRU. Some of the bytecodes controlled execution flow like loops while others were specific to the application, things like turn light on, move lens, trigger camera, etc.

There were a few more bells and whistles, like memory locations where flags were set by the engine to let the CPU know how progress was going.

It was a fun project. Unfortunately, the manufacturer of one of the core devices decided to stop making it, so that start-up had to go in a different direction.
I wouldn't worry too much about false positives.

It's not that I'm worried, it's that it's a distraction. When the margin of error is high enough, it becomes less signal and more noise, which leads to either panic (spending all your time managing access credentials) or complacency (ignoring the indicators).
China makes a bunch of fake designer clothes, many openly sold in US markets and stores. That doesn't stop nouveau riche Chinese from being the top consumers of "real" designer clothing/fashion.
That's defeating the purpose of encrypting them.

If you don't CBC, wherever is on the cloud side will have two files with one block off. Let's assume the file is a txt file. For smaller cipher block sizes, it is becoming very easy to guess your encryption key.

Tldr, you want any attacker to lose any diff ability on your encrypted data.
This question is predicated on the assumption that there are objective, codified criteria against which human sorting can be judged. That assumption is false.

Right now the only question is "how closely can the machine approximate human sorting."
The severity stems from the unfortunate fact that a password leak retroactively, and silently, destroys your security across all sites that use the same or a similar password. Even if you started using the longest, randomised, two-factor-authenticated password system last year, all those forgotten or seemingly unimportant accounts are suddenly exposed.

Even when the exposed sites have minimal information or impact, minor information in aggregate adds up to a lot of danger for escalation and social engineering.

Now consider that there are huge swaths of people with the same password that they've use for email, banking, medicare, and everything else.

A proper response from Dropbox would be to explicitly and loudly inform every leaked email address (not just their current users) that they need to immediately change every password across any and all sites that might use the same leaked credentials.

Furthermore, Dropbox should set up a secure site with a unique link per email address that allows a user to key-in and check their memory against the exposed hash. I know that I have changed my password for Dropbox at least twice since 2012, but in 2012 I might have used an insecure password. Allowing me to figure it out before a nefarious party would allow me to better judge the potential personal impact.
Two words: panty thieves.
The author contends in the article's abstract that machine models are "self-contained" whereas "language models" (not clearly defined, but meant to encompass at least an untyped lambda calculus) are not. But both can be viewed as a state plus a well-defined set of rewriting rules, so I suspect that the article is struggling to make what is really a distinction without a difference.
How is that even relevant? It's not audio vs. text, it's speech vs. typing. Just use speech-to-text, and you can see your text on the screen before you give it to Siri or your friend. Still better than typing.

It's all good. My main point was that people learn in different manners. Sometimes people asking the question don't realize they are asking one that has already been asked. Sometimes they don't know what they don't know. So for them it might help seeing the two similar questions be answered similarly but not exactly the same.

The question begs who is SO trying to help? People who answer questions, people who ask questions, or SO so they can rewrite technical manuals?
It could result in a huge influx of people from north brooklyn, where there will be no trains, moving to south brooklyn to get to the trains you mentioned.
You're thinking of the place in Powder House Square, but they don't do pickup. (Also, Yoshi's was a regular lunch spot when I worked from home.) Teele Square Laundromat does pickup/delivery and was my go-to. I wouldn't have used the discount anyway, though; I don't need ten percent off and they work much harder than I do.

Somerville's prices are disgusting, as is most of the area--I just moved to Malden, where I've got a really nice 2BR that isn't in a falling-apart house for about two-thirds of what I'd have paid in Somerville or Cambridge.

Sure, but it would take nothing short of a revolution to do so. Like, the entire party elite, who have countenanced the slide from Gingrich to W to Palin to Bachmann to Trump would have to go, or have some sort of Saul-to-Paul conversion event. It's really difficult to imagine. Since the 60s (and especially since the 80s),the GOP has been the party of the racist. And it continues to dig itself deeper into that hole (see http://www.vox.com/2016/8/28/12682876/maine-lepage-racist-sh..., for example).

How about using the password manager to store security question answers too? It's mildly inconvenient because each site seems to require at least three, but then you wouldn't risk forgetting them and you could use random generated strings instead of having to make them up.

None of it is without risks. My understanding has generally been that LSD doesn't produce mental health issues, but can trigger it in some folks, most of the time because they already have it or enough of the markers, such as in Schizophrenia. (Yes, still a horrible risk). Other drugs can terse out underlying mental illness as well: Unfortunately this is one of the side effects of any drug. Contradicting this is the folks that are experimenting with microdosing as a drug to help mental illness, especially depression. Odd how minds work.

As far as the stuff in the 1960's, literature gets weird. Some say that the stuff from the 60's was stronger than the stuff from the 90's forward: Some say it is in general safer. Safety might just be because more folks know what to expect and the culture 'grew up' as they say. Some say there was more 'bad' acid back then. Doesn't change what happened to them, nor that the two might (or might not) have been related.

But to me, this is all a cry for legality so that such things can be regulated, down to earth talks about what to expect and side effects can occur, and much better mental health screenings (and diagnostics).

Even... Haskell! Dundundun! (I'm referring to Template Haskell.)

As it turns out (IME) referencing arbitrary data (such as a database schema queried from a 'live' database) is actually of quite limited value.

Where I actually agree that it makes sense is the 'read-a-checked-in-file-and-generate-code-at-compile-time-from-that'. Otherwise, you're mostly just looking at a lot of pain compared to just generating code (that you might check in).
Because they're both meaningless buzzwords.

But if you gratuitously capitalize them, and especially f you repeat them, often enough -- "Agile, Millennial, Agile, Millennial, Agile", especially in article titles -- people will not only naturally assume they mean something, but that they're absolutely vital terms to know about, and that is crucially important to stay on top of every facet of their meaning lest one fall woefully and irrevocably behind not only in one's career, but in the current Zeitgeist generally.
If you'll forgive the shameless plug, I talked a bit about ReasonML here, hopefully it helps clear things up https://youtu.be/QWfHrbSqnB0?t=29m34s

Basically, just a new syntax and a blessed-stack approach that really, really emphasizes developer experience. Which is to say, ReasonML is merely a cosmetic and DX change, it remains compatible and is not a fork of OCaml at all.
The best defense is to have a product that's hard to clone.

Never going to happen. NYC will always be expensive, no matter what. Buildable land will always be limited and expensive. Labor will be expensive. Materials will be expensive. Developers will always seek to maximize profit, so billionaires and Wall Street trader waving bonus checks and looking for investment-grade properties are going to get served before you. And you know what happens when developers perceive a 'glut' of apartments at the profitable end of the market? They stop building. The market doesn't promise that it will provide whatever you want at a price you can afford--it only promises to provide what it can at prices that are profitable to the seller.

So you have a tool to find emails, something that scammers and spammers may use, and the first thing you ask on your website is for my email address?! How trustful is that?
Well they don't eat batteries, it seems. I know, doesn't make a lot of sense to me either.
This is exactly how I am. It takes a little practice to balance out the silence with speaking but when you find your comfort level, you'll be ok. :) I've told interviewers something to the effect of, "Sorry, give me one second to think -- it's hard to interleave my thoughts and talking aloud" and they were really ok with it.

Good luck!

How many people were using password managers in 2012? The impact is huge because leaks are silently retroactive. Unless you have captured and changed every single possible account you ever created with the leaked 2012 credentials (before or after), you might still have a lot of exposure.

That compares hash functions, not hash tables (aka dictionaries, maps, key-value stores, etc.).

Hash functions convert sparse keys to dense keys (with potential for collisions). Hash tables look up and store values by key using their hash (usually in-memory only, although this is not a requirement per se).

> Taking away a tax deduction is equivalent to raising taxes

The burden (the cost source of the tax) exists. How the burden is served can leverage individual self-interest to create, maintain, or change behavior (tax deducations). A change in available cost sharing tactics (taking advantage of a burden reduction as it exists or does not) is not a change in the burden. It is not the same as raising taxes (ie tax rate).

I am not interested in stepping into how terminology between rates and fixed fees is confused across a multitude of localities.
