Both actually.

I don't trust the black box of the ad recall stats they provide, so that's not really an option. Is Nielsen's data any less of a black box for this sort of data? And is it actually a decent sample? The older way Nielsen did things was biased because people had to sign up to be a part of it.

And yes, the challenge is that to get a statistically significant read, we need to throw a lot into a specific test, and that is hard to justify without benchmarks. Kind of a chicken and egg problem if your brand is large enough where it takes considerable display dollars to make a blip against your other traffic.

I've been curious if things like Adobe's Attribution econometric modeling tools help much here, but guessing that lack of data will be an issue there as well.

> I think the contention is that, unless you're applying NASA style rigor, you don't end up in the same place without verifying the safety automatically, because in practice it's too expensive to verify the safety manually (without getting squeezed out of the space by your competitors.)

That's a claim that has yet to be shown to be true. Maybe it is true, and maybe it isn't, but C++ compilers tend to give pretty good warnings that you can treat as errors, and coupled with good external tools it isn't clear that rust is significantly safer than C++.

The scary part of it all is how many rust users seem to think that it is a given when even the rust standard vec container has unsafe code in it.

I personally think that if rust is shown to statistically decrease the security/error rate on large projects, it's going to be with the use of 3rd party tools, not the specific semantics of the language. I'm of the opinion that the beauty of the unsafe block isn't in any inherent "safety", as much as it is giving more semantics for 3rd party tools to analyze.
The point about gas is certainly true, thought I can't speak to the rest as much.

While you're accelerating, you're giving the engine gas to keep it moving and prevent a stall. While braking you aren't accelerating, but you still need the engine to keep going at speed.

If you depress the clutch, it disconnects the engine from the wheels. The engine will then get a trickle of gas (even if you don't accelerate) to keep it moving while the car breaks.

If you don't depress the clutch, the engine stays in connection with the wheels. Their motion drives the engine - the reverse of normal - keeping it moving without burning any gasoline at all.

It's not generally a big difference, but if you're in the hills of Colorado you might care more.

One thing I noticed about installing multiple desktop environment on Ubuntu: they all have different default apps that are always installed. So when you have two desktop environments, you end up with 2 different terminals, 2 different file browsers, 2 different archive managers etc. You could uninstall apps that have the exact same purpose, but it would be nice if there was a formal way for DEs to recognize and acknowledge the existence of another DE.

Rant: When I first wrapped my head around the concept of a desktop environment, the first thought that came to mind was: why don't Microsoft and Apple abandon their proprietary OSes and just build and maintain a solid desktop environment for Linux and the BSDs. It would save them a ton of money, resources, developers, it would improve security. The major drawback was porting the apps written for their OSes to Linux and BSDs, which was a deal breaker. Then came the announcement of Windows subsystem for Linux, first thought: incredible engineering feat but MS did the exact opposite of what I would have wanted, which was a Linux subsystem for Windows. It would have solved the issue of porting Windows apps to Linux. Now I am beginning to realize that all decisions technical or not, are just ugly politics with nice explanations to make the decisions seem like the right thing to do.
This is why it's a terrible idea in the US to tell anyone about your problems, especially mental problems. Help is NOT out there unless you're extremely lucky and rich. Most likely, there are a bunch of goons like in this article waiting to pick you up, beat you up, and drop you off at the nearest jail. That's if they don't just kill you outright.

And the uninformed still wonder why we have so many problems with mental health and suicide in the US, a place where seeking help--even by accident--is likely to make things worse or even lead to death.
It was a good interface for predicting future crimes of bad interface design.
While I disagree with the premise that police officers in the US need guns 100% of the time, the general argument against

>what makes it different from the criminal stumbling upon a postman, an unarmed private security guard, or just a regular unarmed person?

Is that police officers jobs have them actively going towards and engaging these criminals, not just accidentally stumbling upon them like the postman.
I do not understand all of the details behind Monero, but basically the privacy is incomplete. When you spend money, you basically say "I am one of X people", where X is usually fairly small. It's a lot better than Bitcoin where X=1, but it's still something that advanced algorithms can get though, and it still collapses if enough people have their identities and transactions revealed.

In Zcash on the other hand, your anonymity set is everyone who holds Zcash. It's a lot nicer, and there isn't really the same collapsing effect as can happen with Monero.

That said, Monero crypto is simpler, doesn't have trusted setup, and overall I would advocate that people treat Zcash as hemorrhaging-edge experimental, while Monero is somewhere between cutting-edge and bleeding-edge.
Announcing NuGet 4.0 RC
"the old 0-60 time"

The _current_ 0-60 time, you mean. Especially with this:

"And Tesla only compares with cars currently in production."

considering this is only a teaser tweet, there's a slight hint of irony there. "Currently in production" is also very different from "fastest production cars". Very selective.

This happened last time Tesla announced something like this - people fell over themselves to install it in the Wikipedia page for fastest production cars. Even though it was: 1) not yet available, 2) not verified, and 3) described even by Tesla themselves as an "expected result". i.e. a press release.

When that didn't work, they took to the page to add a new column to the list of accepted results, to add, effectively "manufacturer projected results", with the end result looking entirely silly and forced - a top 20 chart with Tesla being the only one to have a result in a "not real, not yet" column.
The calendar differences went on for a long long time. You should read "The Mysterious Numbers of the Hebrew Kings" to really grasp the types of issues that lead up to different calendars.

Your comment spurred me to look for some stats.

"Race, Ethnicity, and Sex of Victim by Race, Ethnicity, and Sex of Offender, 2015"

https://ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u.s/2015/crime-in-the-u.s.-...

According to the FBI, in single-victim, single-offender homicides in 2015, 3,167 white people were slain and 500 of those murders were committed by black/African-American people. In the same year, 2,664 black/African-American people were slain and 229 of those murders were committed by white people.

Simple division: 15.8% of whites who were murdered were killed by blacks/African-Americans while only 8.6% of blacks who were murdered were killed by whites. The percentage of whites-killed-by-blacks is about 83.7% higher than vice versa.

Well, we do. We have greatly improved (but not sufficient) civil rights for minorities and women, European wars are a thing of the past (hopefully), we have mechanisms that have prevented economic depressions for over 70 years, etc.

But it's not a spectator sport. If I sit back and say, 'we haven't learned', then in effect I'm the one who hasn't learned. Democracy relies on its citizens to come forward, speak up, organize, and act. I've read many great leaders complain that their biggest obstacle isn't their enemies, but those sitting on their hands.

Do it right, and you don't even need to engage the clutch. Right when you let off the gas, pull the lever to neutral. If you're really good, and you're still rolling, you can give the throttle a little blip and put it right back into first w/o any clutch.

I could very easily argue they are fraudulent. The technology has existed for years to ensure that people agree to such important matters as giving up all your rights. Of course they don't want to put that in front of people because they'd have massive push-back. Imagine an interactive EULA being presented to a user clause-by-clause with clear large print and a clause-by-clause agreement button.

I'd be surprised if these things could survive a well mounted legal challenge purely based on common sense. The intention of these companies is to take it all from the user and have exactly zero responsibility and exposure. Way too one-sided for companies that affect hundreds of millions of people, particularly if they claim not to do evil.

If public shaming won't do it maybe government intervention will.

I'm not sure why you think you "have to tinker". I run Ubuntu 14.04 and use i3 window manager. I haven't "tinkered" with the setup in about a year-and-a-half, dating back to when I installed i3 shortly after I got the my last computer. The default Unity DE is nice, too. I don't use it, but I could have used it all this time, can't imagine what "tinkering" would be required.

As I understand antitrust law, it is legal for a monopoly in one market to expand into an adjacent market. However, if that monopoly stifles competition in the adjacent market in a way that harms consumers, that monopolist’s acts are illegal.

By virtue of Apple integrating the operating system with hardware, iOS has a defacto 100% monopoly on devices compatible with Apple's Ax series chips (e.g. A9 in iPhone 6s). There's nothing illegal about that.

The market for Ax series devices is now larger than the Intel-compatible PC market was at under consideration during the Microsoft antitrust case.

The question then is whether Apple's policies stifle innovation and harm consumers. I think the answer is "yes".
Doesn't surprise me; Apple for not doing anything by standards. When you control all the hardware, I guess it doesn't matter. You can have broken ACPI and driver implementations all over the place.

I've started to give up on ARM embedded boards for the same reason. You need to build out images for all the different potential ARM systems if they don't use device trees. There are Intel Atom/AMD Geode Pi/Beagelboard clones that will boot up just like a desktop and you can install most Linux distributions right on them without modification.

If ARM ever decides to start selling an architecture spec instead of just a SoC spec, I think it would go a long way at making it a better platform. I'm pretty sure Apple would still ignore it f

People who know a Veteran best may be the first to recognize emotional distress and reach out for support when issues reach a crisis point — and well before a Veteran is at risk of suicide.

I find it difficult to believe anybody would throw out "black" as a race. That's about as specific as saying my heritage is "white".

From: http://www.arogundade.com/is-barack-obama-black-or-mixed-rac...

Barack Obama's ... was born on August 4, 1961 in Honolulu, Hawaii. His parents were of contrasting ethnic backgrounds. His mother, the late Stanley Ann Dunham, was born in Wichita, Kansas. She was an American of English and Irish ancestry. Obama’s father, the late Barack Obama Sr., was born in Kenya’s Nyanza Province. He was of African heritage, belonging to an ethnic group called the Luo. They make up Kenya’s third largest ethnic group, with other members scattered across eastern Uganda and northern Tanzania.
"If police did that to a hero who are they willing to go for bat for????"

No one. This should be obvious if you're living in the US. Even if you've never had an encounter with police, watch ANY cop show, especially the reality ones. Every roughly 20-30 seconds you will hear some cop talk about how dangerous the job is (it really isn't) and how their main objective is to get back to their family. The police does not give a fuck about you and they certainly will not "stand up" for you if you are in danger. They will get back home to their families at all costs, including your own life. The rest of the "serve and protect" bullshit is for rubes and other idiots who are dumb enough to believe it and whose parents did them a huge disservice by not teaching them about one of the gravest dangers of American society.
> Does that ever actually occur? My vimrc changes almost on a daily basis, and I'm frequently changing plugins, writing new tools, and creating new aliases all time time. And that's just for my terminal.

Don't take it the wrong way, but that sounds like a personal problem ;-)

If I were changing my configuration files that often, I would start looking for an environment that worked better for me.

My config editing is approximately logarithmic. There's a bunch when I start using new software (or start using old software in a new environment), but it slows down quickly as time goes by. Nowadays, I might make a big change to my .emacs once a year, and maybe tweak a variable or keyboard shortcut once every 3 months or so, but generally it doesn't change much. Same with all my other config files.
Unfortunately more common than you would think!

Well most police departments of any size have an internal affairs bureau whose specific job is to police the rest of the police force. Naturally this is fraught with social risk, but it can be a fast track to leadership roles.

the other option is a higher jurisdiction, eg state police investigating sheriff's deputies or municipal police, or federal law enforcement like the FBI investigating bad actors at the state or major metro level.

That last option is about to get turned inside out, though.

"good government style reaming" still sounds good and satisfying. If you've ever dealt with such agencies as the IRS you know exactly how scary they can be.

Google, Facebook and others need to experience this at a level 100,000 times greater than a typical contentious IRS audit. Maybe then they'll hire a few adults to teach the kids how to behave in the real world.

Re meyer

The neat thing is his method was adopted commercially with years of success despite never showing up on Hacker News, etc. It combined efficiency, OOP, basic safety, and concurrency safety (SCOOP). Most talk about adoption of formal specs in theory but he got it done in practice with DbC in industry. Now, tools like SPARK, Ada 2012, and Perfect Developer are using it. You can do it in C, C# and Java, too.

Btw, in case you missed it, his Theory of Programs defines most aspects of programming in an elegant, precise way using set theory:

Re dependent

Learn from the master:

http://adam.chlipala.net/cpdt/

Far as whether they're good, Im not sure as formal methodists have endless arguments on it. The critics basically say you have to put in enough spec and proving work that you might as well do the real thing in a prover then extract it. Chlipala actually does something like that called Programs as Proofs I think. Memory gettimg fuzzy. Just remember dependent types vs proving is in dispute at the moment.
Indeed, and I often find myself going out of my way to qualify forum posts in an attempt to prevent misinterpretations. It takes effort, though, and as you note, it's compensation. It can help, but I don't think it can full make up for it. I'm glad others are thinking about this, too.
> In the blog's hypothetical, you're not receiving money from some asshole because you're collecting Klan dues from him. Rather, you performed some public transaction with a stranger.

To clear this up, I'd suggest adding the explanatory labels ("Old copy of...") directly adjacent the lines in the image, instead of in a separate key.
The problem with capping the rate for all transactions is that some riskier transactions simply cost more than this to process. Without being able to charge more for them, processors will likely make the decision to just not handle these. Suddenly, entire industries and classes of customer will be shut out of the network, simply because they can't be charged fairly.
