> American competitiveness is a joke.

Not really. "It's complicated" and there are many aspects to it.

US health care is terrible, for instance, in terms of costs/benefits. The startup I worked for in Italy dedicated all of 0 person-hours to health care or health insurance stuff because it's none of their business. Big advantage.

OTOH, the public pension system in Italy is pretty creaky and I would not trust it a lot. There are a bunch of people who got to retire at like 55 or 60, which is pretty early for a country where many people live quite long lives, and are no longer doing hard manual labor.

"At will" employment in the US is way, way more flexible than the kind of system they have in Italy where you'd pretty much have to murder someone while on the clock to get fired. Definitely a win for business.

There are all kinds of things to compare countries on, and it's not simple.
Would it be worthwhile to compress the edges separately? I.e., use edge-detection + dilation + quantize + mask to get the edges, then compress that less aggressively, and overlay over the aggressively-compressed image?
Even if Amazon only does last mile delivery to locations with warehouse facilities (which will probably be everywhere with a large airport), and only does the deliveries from said warehouses to customers in the local region, it's still probably worth it for them to take over that aspect.

I don't know that last mile out to smaller areas will ever be worth it for Amazon.

Deep Learning, Pachinko, and James Watt: Efficiency Is the Driver of Uncertainty
I started renting a PO box for deliveries that I can swing by after work. It sucks to have to carry heavy stuff the last mile, but the alternative is just not getting deliveries ever, and I buy most things through amazon these days.
I think that is probably true for skilled workers, but the people delivering packages for Amazon in Chicago appear to be far from skilled. It's not that hard to find someone with a driver's license and replace them. Assuming Amazon has to offer similar benefits to Union shops, they will still save money. For instance, if Amazon offers its delivery drivers retirement benefits, you can rest assured there is no way in hell they offer a pension. On top of that, I can guarantee that Amazon won't hamstring its logistical flexibility by guaranteeing fixed routes.

This is even assuming that Amazon directly employs their delivery drivers. I know Google delivery uses contract drivers in Chicago. I wouldn't be surprised if Amazon has a similar set up in some places. It's pretty hard to organize when you are the driver.

Regardless, Amazon will fight tooth-and-nail to prevent unions from forming. They've successfully done so at their warehouses, and I don't see why deliveries would be any different. See this article by the NYT

Keep it up and do blog about it! Voxel engines do have unique advantages over traditional game engines. I like how your game re-voxelizes the player every frame, a different approach than, say, Minecraft.

Odd that people suggest making it "better" with polygons, as if you're stuck with voxels, as if you didn't choose it consciously, as if you didn't already understand the alternatives. :) Ignore it and keep making awesome games.
UPS and Fedex are not known for innovation. And you have to consider what level of optimization they are doing. Maybe Amazon can optimize faster/better. Even today, UPS website is dated and hard to use.

Fedex never really got Fedex Ground right.

And don't get me started on why they have to use 16 digit package tracking numbers that start with '1Z'. WTF?

>My point is that 72^8 and 72^22 is an invalid comparison to determine the relative strength of those passwords.

That's fair, but you're talking about directly attempting to crack as opposed to rainbow tables, which I believe was the authors intention, mapping the full key space. In this case, the exponents still hold.

>Do not follow this advice on passwords.

Additionally, maybe your first comment's point wasn't well articulated, since the author's work has proven true in your own tests for the passwords given, length trumps complexity. I would also argue that he doesn't say anywhere do not use complexity, he specifically points out however that banks use complexity as a mask of security while limiting length.
Is it possible that oil prices will never be that high again due to renewables? Part of me feels like the games OPEC members are playing will be to their long term detriment. Renewable cost is only going down year after year, really the oil states have a limited time to extract as much money as possible before alt energy kicks into high gear. By the time they're done fighting with each other it may be too late to get the money that they are banking on.

Also bets on whether any member countries actually follow this?
Don't forget 4x4 and vintage vehicles. The number of miles driven is one of the biggest predictors for claims and I imagine that most of these enthusiast manually driven vehicles will have low annual mileages. The insurance rates will almost certainly go up, but I do not think they will be unaffordable.
"Hopefully assholes exploiting the conservative driving behavior of autonomous vehicles will lead to law enforcement regularly enforcing these sorts of safety&civility laws."

The Cloud will take care of that. Autonomous vehicles will submit video, LIDAR, and radar data of human drivers being assholes to their manufacturer. The manufacturer will analyze the data, summarize it, extract clean still images of the worst behavior, the car license plate, and the driver's face, and send a report to a bad-driver clearinghouse. The clearinghouse will look up license plates, do face recognition on drivers against their Facebook profile, identify the policy-issuing company involved, and send them a data update. The policy-issuing company will send a note to the asshole, with pictures, telling them not to do that and that their rate just went up.

Most of this is already deployed. Half the drivers in the Bay Area have already been rated by Nexar's AI from dashcam data in Ubers.[1]

I'm definitely not claiming that openBSD has an awesome init system but _all_ my init files look like this:

there's also SMF, or runit, or any of the other dozens of init systems which solved the issue you have with consistency, they also solved other problems like socket activation which people wanted in init for some reason.
This may come as a shock, but plenty of people don't have what it takes to make it big in finance or politics, or don't want to make money, have success, and gain influence by being a monster.
This is out of the Sega playbook https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sega
A central bank (and thus a state that can perform monetary policy) is important, but in many of these reports and rankings they do cut across the Eurozone. For example, this competitiveness report places Eurozone nations against one another in the ranking (see page 15 for the ranking, US is #3 behind Singapore and Switzerland).
With PulseAudio, I have 1 singular feature that makes most people wow:

When I plug in any new audio device, whatever I'm playing/recording automatically sinks to the most recent device. Seamlessly. So if I'm on mail.google.com and a GVoice call comes in, I can take the call, and during the call, plug in my USB headset.

It just works.

Mac can't do that. Windows can't do that. Linux/PulseAudio can. And that kicks ass.
My mistake! I don't know the answer then.
One thing you have to take into account is that the vast majority of modern console gamers have never experienced PC gaming @ 120hz on a CRT connected to a good old 15-pin VGA connector...

If you were to take a console gamer that was just fine playing a game at 100ms+ latency, and let them play the same game, while magically removing 95% of the latency, they would probably be amazed, and never want to go back to their previous setup with horrendous latency.
If Yahoo end up being successful like, for example, Slack or Dropbox these security issues will not be at all discussed here.

I did not see any outrage when Slack security issues back in May 2105 [1]: majority of people were saying "but it is great software". Dropbox the same.

So Yahoo did a similar bet as all other companies (focus on features - we will fix security latter) but they lost that bet.

It seems with the West becoming more and more aware of their own government's secret surveillance programs, and Russia going back to the days of the KGB, a second Cold War is coming or is already here.

Even the spin and outright denial Russian officials have put on Russia's role in the downing of MH17 in light of increasing evidence, reeks of the old Cold War days. A missile is seen shipped from Russia in a montage of stills and videos collected by the independent investigating committee, and Russian state officials spin a new story to cast doubt upon it.

I am not a fan of Hillary or Trump, and frankly, I don't think either of them is up to dealing with the Russia that Putin is creating.
> small scale Russian aggression

Let's hope they keep it small and don't try to covertly start a big fire that will drive oil prices back up. It's scary to see a world economic situation where starting/fueling wars starts to make more and more economic sense... I can almost imagine a future "WarEnron" selling the future profits indirectly caused by future wars :)

We should find a way to make sure we have profits aligned with peace and abolish the concept of "wars that make economic sense"! The US and EU at least do this (more or less unintentionally) by keeping weapons and military operations very expensive. Russia probably has more practical means for "cheap destruction" and this is dangerous because at some point some will start placing bets on this and then try nudging world events in the direction of their "win".

No, but the VC world has been ill equipped to attempt to profit in this sure to profit way in the blockchain space.

A lot of capital backed projects in the blockchain space were attempting to "responsibly not buy the speculative asset because we don't want to lose money irresponsibly", and they all lost money irresponsibly because they couldn't find a way to make any money

There are ways to improve the blockchain space, with capital, and it so far requires getting capital into the tokens itself.

Any remote code execution bug can exploit this. Normally, a remote execution code bug when the user is non-root isn't a huge issue, because the user effectively sandboxes them away. This bypasses all of these benefits.

Containers may prove to be a sufficient sandbox, assuming this is not executable against kdbus (which is shared across containers since it's in the kernel).

That's not my recollection. Upstart was an Ubuntu project, Debian never adopted it. Red Hat picked up upstart, then Poettering managed to convince them that they'd be better off with one they controlled. Somehow that filtered back through to Debian, and they jumped straight to systemd from sysvinit.

At no point was it necessary for systemd to actually be better than upstart at being an init system. It just had to be bigger by the time it got to Debian.

Yep - I was actually hoping to see your talk on Starfighter last week, but work kept me in a different state. :)

My experience has been in finance for the past ten years at an ops/sysad level and can frankly say that security at these places may be a lot worse than you think. Much of it just seems to be out of laziness/not understanding best practice. Attacks would by no means be trivial, but they're certainly possible with (edit: relatively) low risk.

Keep in mind that the finance field is largely based on very, very old legacy systems that only upgrade as a last resort, including patching. Managing legacy systems on top of improper management of organizational complexity leads to some very, very poorly implemented security. It's pretty frightening.

Things I've seen in finance -

This study assumes that Simpsons characters are manufactured purely for the use of the show. It ignores the possibility that the characters are created for the cast, not the audience.

Every TV show is a creation of a team. That team has certain members. You have to use these people. Absent special circumstances, such as one actor wanting to play at being a director or do a solo piece (Alan Alda, MASH) the work has to be balanced across the cast. Sometimes this is even dictated by contract. Recent seasons of TheBigBangTheory seem to follow contract math regarding screen time. Many episodes seem to alternate between male and female groupings. Friends did this, but TBBT seems more mathematical. One could probably reverse-engineer everyone's contracts from screen time alone.

So perhaps TheSimpsons' gender bias is based on the writers creating characters for the voice actors they have available, a cast setup long ago. Maybe they even are writing characters specifically for voices created by that cast. That would also create a gender bias.
So Teleport always records the SSH session? Doesn't that get expensive at times? Sometimes I stream logs over SSH or use `watch` on a fast interval. It's enough that tmux and ssh take a non-trivial amount of CPU, even just on the receiving end. I just wonder if that proxy recording becomes a bottleneck.
> Yes, I am well aware of the enormous, almost insurmountable chicken and egg problem of Oh By Codes not being useful until everyone knows what they are.

I fail to see how what an "oh by" code achieves that cannot be achieved by an URL, save for the subjective beauty of the format looking like 0xffffff.

Plus, if this became a thing, everybody would have to put their total trust in "PERFECT PRIVACY, LLC" or "Oh By, Inc.", which seems a step backwards from the distributed nature of DNS.

Why do you assume most self-driving cars use Canny edge detection? And even if they did, you can simply have the algorithm choose the higher threshold (with some other sanity checks, suck as are the lines the expected distance apart) and ignore the lower threshold.

The algorithms for lane following are quite a bit more sophisticated than that though. Here's a paper from 2008, and there are other approaches as well.

Of course not, but the IOC is a private enterprise that engages in trying to get as much attention for their events as possible, so you get an embrace of borders instead of arguments about what would be fair.

I think there is probably room to compare economies in different ways. It's certainly notable that California has roughly the same size economy as France, but it isn't the only comparison you would want to make when trying to compare the economic situation in the US to the economic situation elsewhere. But if you were considering the availability of opportunities, you might start with the few US states with the largest economies just like you might start with the few EU countries with larger economies.

yea 1/x is not strictly defined for x=0, but you can extend it in ℜ ∪ {+∞,-∞}, I don't know your math background, but 1/-0 could make you think of limits:

1/0 is like 1/0⁺ (limit of 1/x in ]0,+∞[ when x->0) == Infinity.

1/-0 is like 1/0⁻ (limit of 1/x in ]-∞,0[ when x->0) == -Infinity.

1/Infinity is 0 ....

0/0 is however an indefinite form, so it's NaN

so the behavior of JS makes sense

And even if 1/0 and 1/-0 returned NaN, they wouldn't be equal to each other too
