Tangental, but interesting in a The-Dystopian-Future-Is-Now! sense: "The endorsement key initially placed in security fuses may be revoked by the TPM2_ChangeEPS command introduced in TPM 2.0. In this case, the TPM must generate a new endorsement key pair, store it in nonvolatile memory, and remember not to use the one in the security fuses in the future. The TPM task uses a field programmable fuse for the purpose of saving the revocation status of the endorsement key in fuses."

The fuses are blown when the chip is manufactured to encode a _pre-calculated_ 2048-bit rsa key-pair, selected from a giant collection which intel generated en-mass to have some properties that allow the two 1024-bit primes to be encoded using only 272 bits each (if I'm reading it right):

"The TPM on the security and management engine features a preinstalled endorsement key (2048-bit RSA). The endorsement key is required to be unique per hardware part. Because of its uniqueness, the endorsement key cannot simply be hard-coded in the firmware, which is the same on all parts. Instead, hundreds of millions of endorsement keys are pregenerated. During Intel’s manufacturing process, different key materials are burned to the platform’s security fuses for all parts, respectively. Note that key materials are not the key value. [...] This algorithm is implemented by the key generation facility and not the TPM
firmware."

There's already a perfect solution to getting notifications when new video's are posted on a channel, RSS. It won't bug me unless I ask it to, I don't need a YouTube account for it and I don't have to guess what the (3) next to the channel name actually means (new upload? new like? new algorithm glitch?). I might like to do the same for "Community" posts for some channels but it doesn't look like they do RSS for that (yet?).

Interesting, I created https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/22141 to discuss.
Having deliberately attended the University of Minnesota - Twin Cities rather than an expensive private college, and having paid for it with a combination of savings, work, and some loans which I paid off immediately after graduating, I find the idea of loan relief morally reprehensible.

Some ideas to improve the "situation on the ground":

- reduce the demand for college education

- reduce the cost of attending college by providing better material support for students in the form of affordable room and board.

- reduce the cost of attending college by providing better public funding (by an order of magnitude) for public universities, state schools, and community colleges for students of proven ability (3rd/4th year students).

- fail students who are wasting their money more quickly and aggressively.

- make it easier to attend college part-time while working or while raising kids (the idea of intensive four-year study with "Summer Breaks" is absurd in the modern non-agrarian economy)

- publish clear metrics on loan-repayment/income prospects after achieving a 4-year degree of <type> from <institution> with <gpa/perf metrics/etc> and use these to gate loans (it is probably rational to take out loans to get a philosophy degree from Harvard, it is probably not rational to take out loans to get a philosophy degree from a random state school in Minnesota.

- regulate predatory loan-lending even more aggressively.

- offer insurance as part of loans to allow students to hedge against catastrophic life/economic problems.

If you are a dead average intellect with dead average work-ethic and ambitions, I see absolutely no reason to support your post-secondary education beyond a year or so. That's throwing damp logs on a dead fire.

If you're a dead average intellect with dead average work-ethic and ambitions and you take out tens of thousands of dollars in loans gambling on a future that doesn't exist, I see no reason to treat you any differently than someone who gambles and loses in the market.
Uber end game is self driving cars. Why wouldn't air bnb end game be hotels?

There is a reason we gave had hotels for 100 years. Kinda nice to get consistent quality with no big process to find a room.
I have still not understood how legal Airbnb is. If I own a house, can I just let it out for rent for $$ with no consequences? What is difference between this and running a hotel? (I assume you cannot sublet in most places even though I have seen people do this :/ )

No, that was way after Google+ launched. And in this case, forcing users of a successful product A to use it in conjunction with a failing product B, to try to save B, is an unambiguously terrible strategy.
No, I didn't. OP is trying to make this a lovely cost-free dynamic, where all we have to do is let our brother crabs get out of the bucket without dragging them down, man.

That's bullshit. In reality OP proposes to transfer money from me to people who made investments in human capital that didn't pan out.

Maybe that's their fault, because they invested foolishly. Maybe it's nobody's fault, because they invested in a positive-expectation bet and got bit by the variance (it does suck when you take out a loan to go to nursing school, and the feds decide to import a bunch of Filipino nurses instead). Maybe they were the victim of fraud, and someone sold them a bill of goods.

In any case, it has nothing to do with me.
It's not really clear either way, but I don't see how they can do this without some increase in the monetary base. So I'm somewhat at risk in saying that; I just suspect it has to be true.

It'll end up in the deficit just like everything else. As it should. Unlike QE{I,II,III}, this will increase the base.

Saving and spending are both morally neutral; it's just that we think it's Good To Be A Rentier, so we (curiously) bias in a moral case for saving. The New Testament of finance :) allows for bankruptcy, to implement a mechanism for forgiveness.

Saving is pragmatically good. But we seem to make a moral fetish of it - in fact, if our neighbor spends, spends, spends, we benefit. But Liberal Atomism doth make hypocrites of us all...

Ignoring all this, monetary velocity is important and all other things being equal, I'd rather have it than not have it.

I've always suspected that tuberculosis played a large role in the demise of the expedition. We're pretty sure that some crew members had it and in the close quarters of the ships it's very likely to have spread unchecked. Combined with the obvious lead poisoning and the possibility of scurvy the expedition had very little chance of success.

Having read the following, I am now convinced that Goldsboro was NOT anywhere close to a nuclear detonation.

Author below has documents FOIA'd from NNSA and DOE to back his claims in a well written / detailed document:

TLDR: These weapons require auxiliary aircraft power and aircrew intent to initiate the mechanisms and sequence (19 steps) required to even arm the bomb so that it can produce a nuclear detonation.

http://nuclearweaponsaccidents.blogspot.com/2013/03/goldsbor...

"Bomb 2, the object of the Goldsboro controversy, was not "one step" away from detonation (nor was Bomb 1). The Mark 39 Mod 2 had two additional safety switches, the Trajectory Arm Switch and Rotary Safing Switch."

Consider the case of an 'interpreter per thread' in an application server. In lua this is implemented by creating a lua context per thread, which is your memory foot print. The size here limits the number of concurrent requests the server can handle.

So, in addition to my other comment, I think there's a major barrier to wide adoption to any of the 'mini' scripting language implementations, and that is a lot of people who use python would expect your implementation to act like the mainline. Here I'm alluding to the trouble pypy has gaining acceptance, because so many users expect all the c libraries to just work.

I also contemplated going this route, not to get the language I want, but to get the runtime instrumentation I want. The conclusion I came to is that it would almost be better to create a new language than to always be explaining "no, that functionality doesn't work because of these design decisions". The language may in fact be a lot like python, or a subset python as you say, but just don't call it that!

Yeah you can be on the phone with the company travel department telling you the United flight at 10:13 doesn't fly between Dulles and New York on Tuesdays, and quickly type FLY IAD NYC<go> and you'll see a line like

12. UA 456 10:13 IAD 11:35 LGA vvvv vv

(Where the v's are checkmarks in day-of-week columns; so you know it flies every day but Thurs)

Then you type 12<go> and get all the details. It all happened as fast as you could type plus about 10msec plus the speed of light roundtrip to lower Manhattan. And in the nine years since I used it, I bet they added other points of presence on other continents.
Because then the reviews for the connected PRs ends up being hideous to track.

Either you can:

• Submit the PRs one at a time... which is awful. Why not work on them in parallel?

• Submit your series of PRs all at once, then you have to set the PR base of each one to the following one to make the github diff view actually reasonable for reviews. THEN, when you have a code change based on feedback on the first PR, you have to merge it into all the later dependent PRs. THEN, you have to have to jiggle the PR bases very carefully when you're landing the PRs, otherwise it will merge them all into each other, and you end up with one ginormous commit landing—defeating the point of the small commits. AND unless you're using a squash based workflow, you'll end up with that giant merge mess in the middle of your commit history.

A good read, and I agree on your points. Like you, I worked my way through undergrad (including a period in the national guard and active army), and escaped with only a few thousand in debt thanks to that. Masters and PhD were free, but that's not too unusual in my area (applied math).

I'm teaching one class as a part-time instructor now back at my old university (basically for beer money on top of the day job), and it's blowing my mind how much more flashy the campus is. And naturally, how ridiculously expensive it is after only 10 years. The focus on "student life" facilities strikes me as an odd set of priorities considering how long hiring and pay raise freezes for faculty seem to last.

The mandatory online book thing is pretty insidious. We're required to use it by the department, and I can see how there is a kernel of a good idea there. It basically helps you run gigantic course sections while grading all homework for you, but while simultaneously killing the secondary textbook market (which is pretty evil). Worse, they are clearly implemented by the lowest bidder and break every web standard you could imagine.

Basically, with increased class sizes and mandatory online content, every core course is slowly turning into a weird online hybrid class. I think this is decreasing the difference between a traditional education and a MOOC bit by bit, which is eventually going to give a lot of universities a bit of an identity and marketing crisis.

Pearson, Wiley, Mcgraw-Hill et. al. are the entities that I would most like to see disappear when the college bubble pops. Free open-source community maintained textbooks seem like the obvious way forward to my software developer brain.

On the bright side, I do enjoy actual lecturing. It's a lot more fun when you can do it with few or no stakes, since I don't have to rely on it for a living. I'm literally on the exact opposite of the spectrum from a tenured professor, but I weirdly feel like I have to same level of freedom.

It depends heavily on your location. Some jurisdictions levy taxes that you are supposed to pay when you rent out your house for a short time ('hotel taxes'). Some areas have private groups which control a block of houses ("Home Ownership Associations" in the US) which might have a rule saying you can't rent out the house at all, even though you own it. Some cities have laws saying that a building must be either built for the purpose of being a hotel (with extra requirements for fire codes, etc) or you can't rent it for short periods. Some say you can rent out your house but must register as a business (San Francisco). Some say that if the place you own is inside an apartment building then you may not rent it out for short periods unless you live there while the renter lives there (this is the law in NYC).
OneNote is vastly better, IMHO. (With the major caveat that it's not available for Linux, which will be a dealbreaker for many. Works on OSX/iOS/Android, though.)

I really don't understand what happened to Evernote. It was very good and getting better all the time; then a few years back they decided to pivot to...something else, I'm still not sure what...and essentially abandoned all the features I used to start pushing lots of features I never would.
You're right. The majority owe less than $10,000.

The word "natural" is a misnomer. For example you can buy "natural" fruit, despite the fact that a farmer planted and raised the plant, a chemist invented the chemicals used for pesticide, and a truck brought them to your farmers market. And of course all these things arose from natural systems being modified by us homo sapiens. Perhaps it's better to refer to things as person-made (or man-made if you must), to avoid the ambiguity of the word natural.

I think Oracle is disappointed how their ownership of Java is not as powerful as hoped though costing them a lot. The tooling and enterprise workflow probably eats a lot of manpower.

Netbeans was always great for the more advanced Java platform features since it was "officially" supported and often the demo implementation for them.

I hope Oracle will continue invest in it because it is a polished platform.
The profiling and sampling tools shared with visualvm are awesome.

Or maybe Oracle is just loosening the governance grip on the platform allowing some control for other organisations invested in the platform.

1) You get used to it. Eventually you can come to prefer cheap whole grain bread vs cheap white bread.

2) Try non-wheat breads like dark rye. Dense dark ryes like a good seeded deli rye or even a cheap pumpernickel remain moist and chewy without the added sugar, which is why wheat breads tend to have HFCS or honey added. Note that lots of mass market rye breads contain wheat flour, so be careful about making assumptions and generalizing based on a few samples here or there. With wheat flour it will become stale quicker, and there'll be a less complex flavor profile.

3) Try higher quality breads. Note that higher cost does not necessarily imply higher quality, though that's more often true than not at supermarkets. Basically, the point is to get more flavor with minimal cost in carbs and calories. So a sprouted wheat or bread with nuts might help.

4) Maybe you're just a picky eater, which is a real thing. If all you like are, e.g., pizza and french fries and similar foods from childhood, and especially if things like the _texture_ of other common foods are offensive, it might be a psychological thing. Most people have psychological barriers to eating and enjoying different foods. It took me years to learn to tolerate Japanese cuisine--I could eat sashimi, no problem, but the flavors of sushi and Japanese cuisine in general were off-putting, much more so than other cuisines, even ones that weren't to my tastes. With _effort_ I learned to enjoy some of it. A simpler example is ginger--I hated ginger until I didn't. But some people are at the extreme end of the scale and it's much more difficult to learn to enjoy something even with effort. In retrospect, I've probably known several legitimately picky eaters. It's not uncommon AFAIU and it's fair to dial back expectations if that's the case. Indeed, foods with more complex flavors and textures as I recommended above might be overstimulating for picky eaters.
