In a media-friendly way, sure. But the end of "Mad Men " was an allegory of the "The Hill" ad for Coke. It's rather like Hunter S. Thompson talking about the watermark the counterculture left before the flood rolled back.

I read "Been Down So Long.." by Richard Farina when I was like 12 , and it had the observation that the counterculture was just as venal and self-interested ad the Establishment. This is almost without a doubt the most useful idea I've ever been given. And it's from like 1964.

The "rebellious" part became marketing fodder some time in the '70s. This is when music teachers decided to include the "rock" beat in things like jazz programs and choral music in junior high school.

The average college grad makes something like a million dollars more over his lifetime than a non-college grad. If that last 4 years cost the most, I can see why.

Anyway, option B. Having a restaurant is only for those who can afford it. Owning a house is only for those who can afford it. Starting a start-up is only for those who can afford it.

Fortunately, we have a system that allows people to pay each of those costs over a period of time (in some cases, even over a lifetime, as you pointed out).

Maybe your restaurant goes under, or your house goes underwater, or your skills aren't valuable, or (however unlikely) your start-up fails. I don't know what to tell you. Reality's a bitch. Hopefully your research and efforts are enough for you to make the right decisions.

It's quite possible for a $20k education to produce a $1 million payoff. In that case, anyone can afford it. It's also possible for a $150k education to produce a $90k payoff. In that case, few can afford it

I'm not going to tell you what to do, pay for it, or take your earnings. You alone can make those decisions.
Thank you, I will read it!

Why would anyone ever want to use a service that did that? I guess it's good that they're not doing that anymore, but that's really awful.
For me the experience that has made the most discernible difference in my everyday life has been to recapitulate in a waking [altered] state a recurring dream narrative I've had for decades, recasting [archetypal] its content (which had been a source of anxiety) in a much more positive way. This was followed by a 'coda' of sorts in which the previously unrealized reformation of one of the images was inhabited for some time and found to be a source of joy, as an affirmation of a personal observation/credo about human interaction.

The emotional effect of the easing of an almost entirely unconsidered but omnipresent background note of minor but real and adamantine anxiety is completely personal, but I would by analogy describe the before-and-after as if a decades-old background musical harmonic dissonance were suddenly reframed by the addition of a new bass note, which integrated them into a satisfying (and hitherto unimagined) chord.

I could describe the specifics, but I'm trying to avoid the cliché of sharing dream content with the expectation that its logic and e.g. discernible ties to everyday consciousness can somehow be translated and made of interest...

...I fear those are just deep-sea fish that are better discussed at a remove, or, alluded to rather than named.

If that makes any more sense itself. :)

Maybe a more direct TL;DR would be, _a long-standing semi-conscious fear which had resurfaced repeatedly in disturbing dream, was revisited and unexpectedly resolved in such a way that I came away with greater serenity, which has persisted now for many years after the experience_.

That might be akin to saying that the experience afforded the resolution of a long-standing emotional conundrum, apparently for good. The consequent sense of equanimity has stuck with me and is something I am grateful for.

(I am certain I myself might have come to the same resolution through some other path; my sense from the communities I am in is that one reason people pursue this one is that such experience are very common. Whether through intrinsic pharmacology or some alchemy of set setting and expectation seems almost not to matter, IMHO.)
There's a middle ground between your statement and the experience the fellow above had. I'd prefer a good community college with a career counselor that pushes you to make the necessary steps toward employment after graduation.
Yeah it's completely different. Will definitely suggest looking into it a bit before making the switch especially if you're planning to do so for a large project. There's quite a bit of overhead you most definitely would have to deal with.
Almost all security audits in an enterprise/corporate setting are done in good faith. This is a person they hired and I'm assuming have spoken on the phone with so it's not unsolicited.

Trust me, I've had similar things happen. I don't know how there can be security auditors who don't even understand how password encryption works but I've had to explain it a few times. It's awful.
+1 to this question. If the rand_linux strategy linked above decides to fall back to rand_unix, it can result in a userspace AES-based generator [1] running on output from /dev/random

I wonder if there's any way to measure the actual financial impact on this movie, which I'm guessing is close to zero (and the MPAA will tell you is millions of dollars). The amount of work and security put into these encryption schemes is sizable to say the least. But is anyone that wouldn't pirate it later going to pirate it now?

Wow that's insane. Experienced, talented Americans are making 4x or more than experienced Swedish SEs. I wouldn't be surprised if the Bay Area, NY, or LA was a bit more expensive but none the less that salary difference!

All I know is that the music industry learned a long time ago DRM didn't work and wasn't worth it, and I can now buy MP3 files on any service, and play them on any device. And while I don't engage in movie piracy myself, I hope these pirates are successful in driving studios to that same point, where I can happily shell over $30 for a 4K file and use it how I want to.
Yeah, this person doesn't seem to understand that PayPal is a huge merchant provider for a lot, and I mean, a lot, of people. And that doesn't mean "using paypal" when you go to a website. They handled invoicing at my last job.
Another option is that somebody got ahold of some HDCP chips that fell off the back of a truck. There are Chinese companies (Explore Semi and friends) that make HDCP repeater chips with decryption / encryption capabilities. Those bad boys can take an HDCP-protected input stream and strip the encryption right off.

DCP controls chip sales very tightly in the US, but I imagine it's a practical impossibility in Shenzhen.

Three years ago I was at a place in India for a couple of months where OpenDNS was forced: the ISP literally intercepted all DNS queries and fed them through OpenDNS. The absence of NXDOMAIN was really annoying. It easily convinced me that I wouldn’t use OpenDNS by choice while they did that.

To me, this is actually “we’ve fixed the main reason to hate OpenDNS” rather than a new reason to love OpenDNS. I know that others there, non-technical others, also hated the behaviour.

The best thing here, I think, would be to create an informational pamphlet kids could print out and give to their parents, showing examples of dick pics and swearing in literally every game imaginable, with the message of "this is just what 12-year-olds do to other 12-year-olds when given microphones and the ability to upload pictures; there is no way to stop this. Even if you ban them from games altogether, other 12-year-olds are just going to swear and draw graffiti dicks in places your child can see at school. Just give up already."

I have over 300 saved tabs in Firefox on my desktop, and it is stable, but I notice it runs quite a bit slower than when I only have a few open. I really need to start closing some tabs here and there...

It only loads the actual tab when you activate it though, so I don't think all the tabs are being stored in memory, just the ones you activate during a session. I probably actually load about 30 or so during a session, with many more being opened, looked at then closed.

I am not the OC, but I think he was going on about how you apparently attributed a certain level of "reason" to evolution. His contention is that evolution exists free of reason. I think you two are disagreeing on the term reason.

You mean "reason" in the sense of "why" and he means reason in the sense of "logical conditions". The why is an interesting question, what environmental or other factors provided an advantage in a plant containing this chemical, or was it a non-important side effect of some other change. It is interesting, maybe not easily knowable.

Hope this clears it up. I may be wrong, but I get annoyed when I read comments that are negative without an explanation, so I thought I would attempt to shine some light.

They were a cover band. They translated Little Richard relatively successfully. Then they became a boy band ( but that was brilliant marketing by Brian Epstein ).

But for a boy band, they had real power in the rhythm section. Those recordings have muscle.

They couldn't tour ( there was no PA as we now know it and they couldn't get over the crowds ) so they pivoted to recording.

Had Crown introduced the DC-300 earlier... who knows? In 1980, it was still racks of DC-300s behind stage with a guy to turn them off to keep them from flaming out...
They wouldn't send a DCP stream for transcoding. DCP stream can only be decoded by the media block inside the projector and the output physically goes to the projector chip. The system has safe guards against physical intrusion. If you open the projector, it wipes all the keys. The level of paranoia in that thing is insane.

They keys only get programmed by the studios at manufacture time, and there is no servicing of the parts in the decode chain. The whole module has to be replaced.

I actually worked on a media block design about 10 years ago.
You assume there are reasons to be found in evolution. Are you sure they aren't simply put there after the fact?
Quantum programming done properly would much likely need some kind of functional / declarative programming language.

When Gordon Murray designs a truck, it's worth paying attention. The McLaren F1 road car pioneered a lot of new and creative technology that is still trickling down in consumer cars today, while remaining an excellently built car loved by enthusiasts and that has appreciated in value several folds. It almost defined the brand of form following function in super cars. McLaren are also known for building a lot of their own parts and tools down to the nuts versus using suppliers. Given Gordon Murray's attention to details, there is probably a lot more interesting things about this truck than the article can mention.

Jesus, they put so much effort into "encrypting" this data when it fundamentally needs to be available in a decrypted format for the users to watch it. At the end of the day, there's always the analog hole (or, more likely, the digital hole between the rendering chip and the MEMS array or LCD or whatever other mechanism lives inside the projector). No matter how many convoluted layers of encryption they throw at these things, there's always somewhere you can stick a camera or a few high-bandwidth digital signal analyzers and recover the content with at worst slightly degraded quality.
Some additional requests:

- Rust (no out-of-the-box crypto lib AFAIK)

- Erlang (ships-by-default 'crypto' uses openssl)

- Java 7 and below are, unfortunately, still in common use, despite being end-of-life. There is a config file to be edited, or a switch to be passed to the java executable to switch the RNG source away from /dev/random, the pre-8 SecureRandom default.

- Some obvious note about how client-side Javascript is a lost cause, in case anybody's tempted

DCP isn't a consumer format (yet), it's only intended to protect the movie before it comes out on Bluray. And the encryption isn't convoluted at all, the private/public key system is essentially the same as what protects your information when you log into your bank's website.
I suppose I should have included an explicit marker of sarcasm...?
Ha! Same for me. Even hated the news of them buying Fireworks... good insight as they eventually killed it.

But once you learn the keyboard shortcuts and start to think in terms of "what group of things would I want to manipulate / apply the same effect / transformation, to all at the same time" instead of "how things make logical sense to be grouped together", and also "what tasks are more common for real-life professionals using this program" instead of "where would that option make sense to be based on what it actually does".

There are 2 UX/I games to play: (1) improve the UXI for current professional users that you know will pay for your product, and rely on professional network effects for growth, and (2) improve the UXI for new users, optimizing for adoptions, but accept that lots of the new users will never be "professional" users, will never pay a lot of money for it, and some of their feature requests will be expensive to develop but will result in no increased profit.

Hint: Adobe is obviously playing game #1 and they are also slaves to their past mistakes, and on top of that their current user base includes a huge number of "artsy, not so logical, and profoundly change-averse" users. Hence all their products can only induce rage and/or mind-numbness in people like us :)
(worked with both Draft and pre-1.0 Quill)

I'm not sure these points are fair...like you said Draft is a primitive to build editors and has much less out of the box, so it's not a good comparison. However:

* Draft does not only have buttons for toggling formats - it has nothing. The point is that you can build a UI and functionality around it to do arbitrarily complex things with it. The way it's described here makes it sound like the entirety of what you can do with Draft is toggle formats, which is not at all true. Like you said this is where Draft and Quill become most apples and oranges, it becomes a trade-off between finer grain control and more functionality out of the box.

* Agreed that API preference is subjective, Draft definitely has some parts of its API that could be more clear or could be better aligned with what it's trying to accomplish.

* A really important thing to note with markup that's misrepresented here is that Draft doesn't output that markup as a result - it's only used to render the content in the editor. The content is stored in an immutable data structure that lets you leverage a ton of React's upsides in terms of rendering performance. That structure can also be easily turned independent of the rendered UI into clean HTML to be persisted.

I was reading the linked document titled "Quantum Programming in QCL" which contains the following definition of a Fibonacci function. As far as I can tell this thing calculates nothing like the Fibonacci sequence. Can anyone explain what the thinking is behind this code?

int i; // Fibonacci number
int f; // by iteration
for i = 1 to n {
f = 2*f+i;
}
return f;
