Depending on your RDBMS this is not actually so bad. SQL Server has sparse column support which helps to make this sort of schema practical. It comes with some strings attached, however [1].

The security model based on passwords kept by site provider is totally broken. I, as a user, don't want to keep 20 different passwords for 20 different sites.

What I want, is host my own security agent through which I can talk with any site. If I want to authenticate with site x, I simply point it to my security agent url and that's that. Open ID was/is an idea.

This approach will drastically lower the incentive for an attacker. Each attack will only get the data of one user, not millions.

Land of the free.

Whatever the US can do, the UK can do better! We've got a the Psychoactive Substances Act 2016[0].

The act is so broad it can be applied to many things. And it's so broad it's functionally unenforceable.

A quote from Wikipedia:

'The law has been criticised as an infringement on civil liberties. Barrister Matthew Scott described the act as an attempt to "ban pleasure", saying it could drastically overreach by banning areca nuts, additives used in vapourisers and electronic cigarettes, hop pillows, and the sale of toads and salamanders that naturally produce psychoactive substances. Scott went further and suggested it may also ban flowers and perfumes as the scents can produce an emotional response'[1].

You know...

* Think of the children.

* It's good for society.

* The social contract.

* And all the other BS people like to come up with to trample on individuals.

I hate the battery life of my iPhone 6. Every time I see how skinny it is I wonder why they could not have just added a bit of space for a larger battery.
When I try to explain neural nets (specifically in vision systems) to people I basically explain how you take inputs in the form of images, label pixels/pixel groups in the images with what you want them to output in the future, and then do that thousands of times and continue to test the results.

Critically though, I will say something to the effect of "but if you try and break the net open and see how this specific net came to it's result, it will look like spaghetti"

So it's a roundabout way of saying "junk in; junk out." That holds true for any learning system, including human animals. The thought process of humans is inscrutable thus far, and I think that future computing will be similarly inscrutable if we do it correctly.
> If it's not possible to do a few big queries...

Yeah, this is the unfortunate conclusion that I arrived at too. I'm looking at making these reports go through a job queue which e-mails the result to the user when it's done. This would allow me to develop much more complex, but much slower queries in C#.

> This is unfortunate because that schedule makes things much more difficult to study.

I'd think it goes the other way too. I've worked in a lab as a data entry helper for studies of opiods on different tissues. They had no problem getting funding for their studies. I would imagine it was because it was related to War On Drugs. So there was an element of "let's show the world how terrible these drugs are, here is some money".

Experiments used fentanyl and naloxone. Aside from keeping fenanyl locked and logging/auditing its usage and waste, don't remember professors or grad students complaining about it being hard to study.
I've read the entire DEA report and their case against kratom seems extremely vague and weak. It almost feels like their concerns (as presented in the report) about kratom can be easily addressed by making it a prescription based medication. They absolutely do not have to make it Schedule I.
But next to nobody needs those things.
Got it, I certainly disagree and don't think the 41.000.000 last.fm users (whose passwords were cracked in two hours) should receive a substantial fine. I don't think there's a whole lot of precedence for this type of legislation either; what you're suggesting requires at least two other crimes to be committed by someone else (before someone else would potentially be at risk due to the user's bad password choice) - in addition to recklessness on behalf of the service provider (which also may be regulated and/or illegal under PCI/HIPAA/etc as grandparent points out). In other words:

1. User signs up for a web service, uses weak password.

2. Web service recklessly stores passwords/hashes in an easily crackable way.

3. Someone hacks the web service, steals usernames and passwords/hashes, then leaks the data.

4. Someone potentially uses the leaked credentials/user information to impersonate user, commits identity theft, fraud etc.

5. User receives a "substantial fine" for using a weak password (like 96% of the users of this online music service).

I had written a more long-winded response, but it probably suffice to say that there are major issues/contradictions/implications of what you're proposing. Like how would you enforce it, should law enforcement only rely on data theft/leaks, or should they have direct access to all user databases for online services? How would they prove the integrity of the data leaks? How would you prove that the password is reused, and how'd determine the size of the fine? Does it matter if the password is strong, but reused and one of those services stores it in plain text and is hacked? Would it be legal to use a weak password for a service if the hashing algorithm is strong, or just as long as the service isn't hacked and the data leaked?

> The same function may be computed by different procedures with different complexity.

The whole idea of computational complexity theory, the time- and space-hierarchy theorems, that are generalizations of the halting theorems and are probably the most important theorems in computer science, is that every function has an inherent complexity, that is independent of the algorithm that implements it. The time or space complexity of an algorithm may be greater than or equal to the complexity of the function. You may want to read my blog post about computational complexity in the context of software correctness: http://blog.paralleluniverse.co/2016/07/23/correctness-and-c...

> Not all types denote sets

In this case, what matters is what set they specify (not necessarily denote) and what proof.

> This is the price of capturing the meaning of computation. Of course it doesn't come for free. But, in general, the earlier you do it, the less work it requires. In the limit, if you do it really late (e.g., test suites), it requires an infinite amount of work (searching infinite input spaces).

First, the computational complexity of verifying a program is the same no matter when it's done. Read my other blog post. Second, I'm talking theoretical computer science here. Obviously there are all sorts of interesting trade offs in real world programming. Finally, the whole point of this article is that language models do this extra computational work and solve a different problem, while the people discussing them often don't notice or point this out.
There are some robust bike-attached immobilizer locks [1][2], but I'm not sure as to their efficacy.

Some of the same properties that make bicycles easy to power and easy to carry (say, up to your apartment) make them easy to steal; and there's little defense against crude and destructive methods like detaching the secured wheel or worse.

We could have full-bike lockers or other bike-parking corrals or contraptions that physically move them into an inaccessible space: bicycle goes into a slot, only comes out when verified by some means (physical or digital); but this requires space, delicate moving parts, and maintenance. But when compared to a single car parking space, the space requirement doesn't seem insurmountable.

That is not a very reasonable outburst. Stress does give similar symptoms to some people. The doctors had clearly tried according to best procedure, but it is a matter of luck whether something like a small bristle is visible in a cat scan. Regular x-ray, not possible.

And if the doctors make you go through dozens of cat scans, you'll probably make a noise about them making unnecessary expensive examinations.

It is of course a cliche for technical people to hear "I've got the perfect million-dollar idea, now all I need is someone to implement it."

Either phrase ultimately means: This person is not serious, stay far away.

There is still significant sharing that can be achieved inside a VM, plus, a lot of the sharing come from zero pages (full of 0) which is still performed accross VMs.

Another benefit of the salting mechanism is that it allows the administrator to define groups of VMs that are trusted in which sharing will be performed.

With software eating the world, I would not be too worried about that kind of problems. Furthermore, the opportunities for almost pure-software plays are increasing dramatically. Google and Facebook already are a pure-software play, but even Uber and Airbnb are too. It often just amounts to operating an internet platform in which one type of users wants to connect with another type. There are opportunities galore in that field, and the money is clearly raining out of the sky in these things. A good thing about them, is that in this kind of platforms, there is no point in having people around who know nothing about software. You can easily outsource all of that. I work for an internet platform myself, in which I also have shares. Only software really matters and makes a difference in our context. Yahoo-style "managerialism", "bean counting", and "maximizing shareholder value" would just crash and burn, because that is simply the nature of the beast.
I have come across stories of FB marketing success, but success in terms of projected & achieved 'likers'. They usually do not convert to ticket sales in a gig. There are a number of music promotion platforms other than FB, soundcloud.com, jamendo.com, which offer both free & paid services for artists & runs on your primary social networks for users & followers. But for projection & analysis of user stats a seperate campaign management app can help sort out issues which I do not know if exists or whether can be integrated with social network data.(I would love to know of such a tool for my brother's band too.)

Can't really agree. You need to have your head on a swivel when cycling in any event, and since walking in the US is as unpopular as cycling for commuting, sidewalks in my suburban area are generally empty as far as the eye can see. But even in the case of a bicycle vs. pedestrian accident, both parties will generally survive. Car vs. cyclist, I lose.

In fairness, that probably means your preferences will be very different from those people who actually do use desktop environments.

I also think a lot of people (myself included) have a certain nostalgia for older, leaner desktop environments. That doesn't mean they can't be designed better, with more polish, using those same older design cues.
Do you have a shipped product already with users?

If you can't afford a lawyer, create publicity. Give the public the facts so they can make a determination whether they ripped you off or didn't, and whether your product is truly as good as you claim. You can't control which way the outcome will go, but you can do your best to be forthcoming, honest, and play the underdog (which you are).

This way, you could walk away with a ton of publicity and public goodwill, from average users, but also potentially from investors.

Most people live in uncontested states (for the presidential election). Voting for a major party only makes sense if you actually like the candidate, or you live in a swing state.

The Libertarian party is much bigger than the Green party, and there are many people who sympathize with libertarians on a lot of issues even if they don't call themselves libertarian.

Johnson/Weld are real candidates -- both two-term governors from moderate states! I'm surprised they don't have more support considering how bad the major candidates are.

That makes sense. All those connector pins and latches were inherently going to be troublesome and fragile.

There's a market for various instruments one could attach to a phone, but it's not a mass market. You can get USB devices which give you a spectrum analyzer or an OBD-II connector, and there are apps to drive them. They're not something you get at phone stores.
There is no need to do that. Should not do that if you have arbitrary values in your database. Just create another table with all the keys and values aligned like that:

id | other_pk | key | value

This of cause would require another query to the database and you might have to iterate through all retrieved rows in your code to build the hash table manually (although your JSON library will do the same).

Im not saying that you should not use JSONB for that (I probably would too for that example), Im just saying there are more ways to design your data storages.
I can highly recommend grav: https://getgrav.org/
It uses Twig for templates, stores all data in files (Markdown) and the Admin panel is easy to extend with custom fields without writing code.
Additionally there's an OK form builder, which can be used to build basic forms and perform basic operations (e.g. store data in files, send e-mails, etc.) but for anything more complex you would need to write a plugin.

I've written a few plugins for it, one specifically for creating albums and galleries for portfolios and I think that it's easy and a straightforward process.
Here's two good, basic ones:

Access to clean, safe drinking water -- including purifying non-potable water at a variety of scales; and delivery, storage; +1 for overpopulated, or money-poor, or resource-poor, or remote areas.

Access to proper sanitation, including safely handling and treating sewage, much like the point above.

Both of these are unsolved in many places that have cell phones, electricity, refrigeration. While it may seem paradoxical, those comforts were easier to solve than water and sewage.
