This is such a great principle, just observing what you are actually doing/feeling. But you need to be in the right mindset or trained to do it.

Pain is a good example: If you begin to observe it as a simple reaction by your body, not as a state of yourself, it can become very bearable. If the pain is too strong however or you don't have the relaxation it takes to do this it doesn't work. To become an observer is hard with strong headache on a busy day, first you have to remember to become an observer and than it still might overpower your state of mind.

Thiel is donating millions to influence an election. I don't know where the slippery slope is but we're nowhere near the edge.

If Thiel has used his market power to express his view, then so can the rest of the market actors can use the same power to express theirs. Individuals should be able to use all available information to decide to spend their limited resources supporting. Thiel has decided to send a very strong signal to the market. People and organizations that decide to associate with Thiel also provide information to the market.

Should market actors completely ignore this specific class of information when making decisions? Knowing that resources that flow in Thiel's direction will be used to work against my preferred government policies, policies that may very well have a negative impact on my wellbeing, should I allow my resources to flow that direction anyway? It seems foolish and arbitrary to ignore that segment of reality.
It seems like they're rolling out the equivalent of Application Specific Passwords that Google has for sites that don't work with TFA.

How much info are you displaying on the various merchants that are billing via the individual card numbers? My credit card bill tends to have a transaction identifier, the name of the merchant & a reference number (along with transaction date & post date). Would be great to have merchant's address and additional information on it and flag if it's recurrent.
Here's a list of the most common ways credit cards leak, from security journalist Brian Krebs:

-Hacked main street merchant, restaurant...

-Processor breach...

-Hacked point-of-sale service company/vendor...

-Hacked E-commerce Merchant...

-ATM or Gas Pump Skimmer...

-Crooked employee...(Most frequently committed by restaurant workers)...

-Lost/Stolen card...

-Malware on Consumer PC...

-Physical record theft [from] Merchant, government agency...

https://krebsonsecurity.com/2015/01/how-was-your-credit-card...

So of Krebs' top nine sources of leaks, Final addresses at most three. No thanks!

Something that people aren't commenting much on but feels sort of significant to me is the way this information was released.

The initial tweet talked ambiguously about some "State Actor" cutting off internet. Although true, that seems designed to spark off an storm of conspiracy theories when the truth is quite banal.

Maybe if the medication is 90% as fun as cocaine for large portion of the population. I've known precious few people with legitimately diagnosed ADHD, but I've known tons of people who use the medication as a stimulate for studying or just for fun at parties. No one is doing this with Effexor, at least no one bright. From what I understand it's doesn't effect the people with true ADHD the way it does the casual user. This isn't their fault, and I wouldn't take their crutch away. I fault big pharma and the tons of sketchy doctors out there.

The argument seems essentially similar to theories on the evolution of aging that suggest we age because senescence improves evolutionary fitness when the environment changes on a comparatively short timescale [1]. The world changes, therefore a race to the bottom arises for ways to improve fitness that also happen to make life miserable and short for individuals. Miserable and short outcompetes hydra-like immortality or naked-mole-rat-like negligible senescence in the vast majority of niches.

Sure, you want to come over and be the one to tell one of the states that they are "minor"?

Joking aside...

understand that we don't actually have a national election system, or even a state one. Each one of the United States 3,142 counties runs an mostly independent election managed by an elected county election commissioner. Tallies for higher elections are reported upward from there. In some states there may be some unification as far as selecting common voting hardware across the state but in most places, even that is at the discretion of the county. So, to your original question, The federal government simply does not have the power to choose a "minor" state to run a trial in.

Heartbleed isn't a buffer overflow in the classic sense (you're not writing more to a buffer than it expects to receive), it's just that you could set read buffer sizes that you shouldn't have been able to in a sane world. In that sense it wasn't even a "bug" (the software was doing exactly what the programmer intended), just a badly-specified protocol to begin with.
Kinda, but with x86 the BIOS code is executed on the x86 processor itself and before that, the processor bootstraps itself. Here, the VideoCore processor (the GPU iiuc) is responsible for bootstrapping the CPU.

Pedant rant/ That's not quite how pricing works. Firms will generally charge the highest price the market will bear. If the firm is already charging that price, demand decreases if the raise the price. Depending upon the price elasticity of demand, it may be a precipitous drop. The firm is more likely to just have diminished margins.

"Would you feel the same way if things were being released about Trump? "

I would. The election campaigns are manipulative enough as is. I don't want hackers in our election machines or running smear campaigns targeted on one candidate.
Other cards might do chargebacks and fraudulent charge recovery, but I look at online services like Playstation Network. If your account is compromised, and you do a chargeback, they will ban your account and you lose access to all your digital content. On top of this, they often will not even provide a refund for content purchased by someone who has compromised your account.

Having the ability to give them a completely different card # with a monthly limit for just them really provides an additional layer of protection without the threat of losing access to goods you legally acquired.

Yes, RAII and exceptions (as well as a few other things like being able to declare variables anywhere) is the reason why I liked C++ in 2000 more than C.

But beyond that, it all went downhill. There was no reason to make C++ the most bloated language ever.

The same is true of Javascript etc. Newbies will not be able to start, now, because they will think about let/var/const the same way as in C++ they have to think about all the possible casts, copy constructor vs casting semantics etc.

Tell me this for example, does the following use a cast or a copy constructor?

According to Merriam-Webster[1], racism is defined as one of the following:

1. a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race

2.a. a doctrine or political program based on the assumption of racism and designed to execute its principles

2.b. a political or social system founded on racism

3. racial prejudice or discrimination

As far as your comment you are simply "protecting oneself from populations with, on average, markedly higher violent crime rates than other populations," if that population is defined by race, you are being racist unless there is some newly published study I have yet to hear about that "blacks love crime."

Well, the ARM is literally powered down until the VC4 turns it on.

(I've heard that the only reason the ARM is there at all is that Broadcom had a royalty-free license and there was some spare silicon, so they thought, hey, why not, it might be useful...)

Traditionally ARMs have never used any kind of common boot process because they come out of the embedded world where every system is bespoke --- the focus is always on individual products, rather than building a platform.

There have been various efforts to fix this but AFAIAA they've never come to much. I think the current one is DeviceTree, but I don't believe there's much vendor support.
This is ok if the only goal is to give a voice to all voters. But proportional representation produces all too often unworkable majorities and grand coalitions. Just look at Italy's postwar history for why pure PR is not to be recommended.
This is of course false; I'm a UK voter and I've never been required to show ID or even to have ID. At the moment the UK is part of Europe.

The identity requirements are managed at the registration stage: http://www.electoralcommission.org.uk/faq/voting-and-registr... : every UK adult has an NI number (corresponding to US SSN), which is free to obtain.

I believe most of the EU countries which have national identity systems make them mandatory, at minimal cost - and it's a government obligation to make available suitable facilities. Slightly different situation where you don't have one class of people less likely to have valid ID.

I see that mentality in every language, even if its worse in C++ because "close to metal" and "we know C++, therefore we must be good programmers".

What usually happens is that the code gets unreadable/unmaintainable quickly and is still a complete unoptimized mess at the macro level.

Once you realize this you don't need C++ for most application domains. And for the domains where C++ matters you also realize you'd be better off in C with a scripting language on top.

By The Cloud Market's latest analysis of operating systems on the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), Ubuntu has approximately 135,000 instances. In second place, a long, long way back, you'll find Amazon's own Amazon Linux Amazon Machine Image (AMI), with 54,000. Lagging even farther behind, there's Windows with 17,600 instances. In fourth and fifth place, you'll find CentOS, 8,500, and Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), 5,600.
It used to be one could drive over to it, and on a weekend people (not of the executive class) would be out picnicking or flying kites by the surrounding pools.

You're not describing subsidies in the sense that the government chips to cover some of the cost of gas so that poor people can drive. That's how residential electricity is subsidized: it costs pennies per kWh so that poor people can have it.

You're describing fantasy subsidies consisting of insufficient taxation in gasoline to cover infrastructure costs and the impact of driving.

We could argue that food is subsidized because terrorists eat, yet the food industry doesn't pay for the harm they cause.
It's not the age. It's that they didn't touch it for a decade, and then still had the ability to make changes to it when they needed to.
If he were an American citizen I'd be fine with what he's doing, but since he isn't I don't see why he should have any say in how we govern ourselves, even if we don't do it well. The fact is Clinton's opponent is far worse to American (and global) sensibilities than she is, so anything he's doing is just aiding the more destructive, tyrannical, morally bankrupt option. If he's trying to prevent corruption he is utterly failing. Our systems are far from optimal but they are in balance for the time being, and that gives us the opportunity to change things while minimizing chaos. Chaos would ruin us, and that's what Assange is trying to incite.

Point 3 and 4 are wrong. There is no evidence that SSRIs work by fixing a chemical imbalance.

There are multiple metananlyses in top tier journals that indicate that SSRIs have an irrelevant clinical effect. SSRIs are almost all placebo with the downside of causing serious side effects. The small effect that isn't due to placebo is probably not clinically relevant.

The only cogent defense of SSRIs I have read is http://slatestarcodex.com/2014/07/07/ssris-much-more-than-yo.... The author is a practicing psychiatrist. The main disagreement he has with the large metaanalyses is that even though the effect size is small it's better than nothing.
Establishment Democrats like Clinton agree with: 1, 2, 3, half of 4, 7, 8, 10, 13

Disagree with: other half of 4, probably 11

Republicans agree with: half of 2, 3, half of 4

Republicans disagree with: 1, other half of 2, 3, other half of 4, 7, 8, 10, 14

Toss-ups, non-issues, and uselessly vague include 5, 6, 9, 11, and 12.

I dunno, it seems pretty clear-cut to me.

I booked some museum visits in Italy this past summer. On a few of the sites I'd be sent to AMEX and enter some verification codes before the payment would process.

Never seen it in the US but it would be nice. I feel more comfortable going directly to AMEX first. Some website payment systems are shady feeling.
I'm not just talking about Monoid, I'm talking about the overall signature -- with the Fn and the abstractions it's very Haskelly. Such functions are not common in Rust. You find them (all the iterator adaptors, for one), and they can be "good Rust", but they're not common. Which is okay.

(I don't disagree that Rust is more complicated than Python, just addressing GP's comment whether or not this is "good" rust.)
As a loyal Apple user, I humbly suggest that maybe this would be a lot less of a problem if Apple itself sold better cables for a more reasonable price? I have no problem going into an Apple store to buy overpriced things. I would just never buy their cables or chargers, as virtually every cable I have from them is wrapped up in electrical tape. The funny part of this story to me is why people would buy even cheap cables that are branded Apple when you can get quality, very high-reviewed cables from vendors like Anker.

edit: In retrospect, I don't have any complaints about the chsrgers. I've never bought a store charger because the ones that come with devices work just fine. It's the cables that I have issue with. Even with things like the HDMI-lightning adapter ($50), they go to pieces without being under heavy use.

For an existing application I personally prefer changing the index type, partitioning the table or tuning DB parameters first. It's far less risky because you don't need to change a single query and it's transaprent to the application. Sure if you cannot get the desired perfomance by tuning the RDBMS than you need to consider changing the way how the tables are modelled. From my experience, usually normalizing it one step furhter improves the performance, at least for OLTP use cases.

maybe a hybrid computer / human solution will fare better

This is the purpose of technology. To enhance our skills. From fire to machine learning, tools are built to make our lives easier and help us make decisions better.

In the end we're better off with more empirical computing in our decision loops. Eventually hopefully we totally replace ourselves with better, more consisitently optimized decision making systems.

The commenter's point is still true. It appears targeted straight at Clinton while Trump has plenty of dirt they could report. The timing is also not a coincidence as Assange previously did shock and awe campaigns like Collateral Murder. He knows what he's doing.

Personally, though, he lost credibility for me after how he ditched Domsheit-Burg talking like a crazed egomaniac after deceiving many into thinking he had more staff and protection for them than he really did. Now, he's an egomaniac and has a strong, political bias. Practically graduated to position of one of corporate media's talking heads. Edit to add: just with more muckracking!
Nobody accesses the internet and has pornography thrust upon them.
Many local news papers were bought up and started carrying mostly syndicated AP content with little local content.

Another problem was the rise of the 24 hour national news network that pushed everything as a 'breaking alert' or 'emergency right now'. In general your local news is going to be slow, most places don't have a lot going on. The national news is instead a 24 hour stream of 'news drugs'.

Interesting, at least in all German speaking countries it is required to show an ID.

Still, who is disenfranchised by having this requirement? Here no one is because everyone has an ID, even poor people. (you are even required by law to carry an ID with you even when you just walk on the street, in case police needs to identify you for whatever reason)

Who killed Cyanogen?
Ok. I read the entire pdf.

My take.

Academia affords one to spend a lifetime on an issue. Author had '99 citing. If your thing is elections then you have to write about this.

Only a revolt by the people will change the election process significantly - or Lawmakers vote ++ if they think they will get more votes/representation. I do not believe this report or 100 others will impact elected officials. Sure, having a leading university will get quotes but not action.

I do not believe our system is in peril. I do not believe our system needs to be fixed. I do not believe this election is rigged. I trust the outcome.

I do hope there are more "normal" people in the political pipeline in future years so our choices can be better.

Life has so many choices. The choice to vote for president is only one.
