And your point is? It's not a hard problem. You either trust your fabricator and tools, or you don't.

End of freaking story. If you don't, and/or you can't throw a fab plant at it, your options are limited. You can read all the docs on the open CPU stuff (as far as that goes), you can literally do everything from scratch, but unless you're a Nation State or a massive company, you're pretty much wasting your time.

/edit: I don't mean this as a criticism of your writeup (where you basically state the same thing), or even some of your other comments (where you state much the same thing).
It's literally an issue where there are VERY few people in the entire world capable of doing cutting edge processor design, coding, and implementation. They cost phenomenal amounts of money, and even with the money, people, and the best of intentions - a motivated nation state actor can muck things up.

The only real defense we have, as regular people, is to basically see if anything we own is misbehaving. Even that is a specialized skill set and time investment beyond what most folks are interested in committing.
Obviously it is literal, it has to be - it's relevant to the object-level plot both in the first book and in the latter two. Whether or not it has layers of additional "meta" meaning associated with it, that's another topic.

Though I'm not sure about the indirect references to various political events that people seek in the story - the author himself wrote explicitly in the afterword for American readers that he is not writing sci-fi to explore contemporary issues in different settings.
The mainstream media cares about access to the elites. Now that they are in power, they will lift them up and hide things that hurt that access.
How will they know which adds are yours? The CMS is off-brand and priceonomics says they will host it.

If this tragedy of the commons really kicks in, you can bet advertisers will start calling for FCC intervention...

Dayum right.
The article had some good things in it, but the message that Trump wouldn't have been president-elect if it wasn't for these mistakes, just makes it look sad and more of an emotional piece that you might find in drama magazines. Stop over-Analysing (edit: without proof).

It is funny how everything is now: 'how this helped Trump win' etc. And before the election it was supposed to make him lose.

When you win everything can be said to have helped you win. But what really proves that something contributed to it, and why did everyone(big news at least) miss the evidence?
I had never seen an image of Australia with grass. I've always seen desert or city (like Sydney). It just never entered my mind that green stuff grew there. My geography knowledge is horrid so I just figured whatever I saw on tv/images was what it was like all over. Really cool that it's not actually the case.
Possibly the pilot was in a sustained left banking turn and didn't realise that he was losing altitude and/or airspeed. The "Roll Right!" command was possibly to force him to go 'wings level' and maintain altitude.

Any time you bank the wings of a plane to make a turn, you have to also pull back on the stick to maintain the same amount of lift to keep you in level flight. The more you bank, the more 'back stick' you need to maintain the lift.

It's a logarithmic corellation, i.e. in a 90 degree banked turn, it is impossible (you need infinite lift) to maintain altitude.

Most aircraft get to the point where the bank is just to steep and you cannot generate enough lift to hold your altitude any longer. Pulling back on the stick some more will just end up bleeding off airspeed and putting you into a stall/spin. At that point your only recourse is to go back to 'wings level' and rebuild airspeed.

A lazy alternative is to forward all incoming email to a yahoo account. I've been doing this for years and it's come in handy on the rare occasions when Gmail is unavailable.
I've not seen that, but I have seen one where the root password was the vendor who supported it - like capgem123 ibm123 etc.

Not quite as bad, but still pretty weak.
How Quid uses deep learning with small data
At our company developers rarely write tests. They rely on the QA for testing. Obviously it doesn't work, like, at all. I think a key aspect of this post is to highlight the fact that testing is in fine the developers' responsibility. Test engineers are here to make it easier for them to write tests.
If it's too difficult for you to use, then use another language which holds your hand more. But for many of us, it's an incredibly powerful language and there isn't really anything comparable when you need to squeeze every instruction cycle out of the CPU while still using HLL features. I don't find it difficult at all to use. Sure it's complicated, but not everything worth doing is trivially simple.
Giving this to livestock would also be pretty deadly to mosquitoes. Using cows and pigs to fight malaria is not a half-bad idea.

> for low pay.

This is the real problem with manual labor, low-skilled labor, and jobs like baking.

The real stress isn't the day to day work, it's knowing that you are slowly wearing down your body but not earning enough to "get out of the game".

It's lack of financial security.

If as a baker you could buy a nice home and pay it off in 7-10 years it wouldn't be such a tough gig.

Touch Typing – Why and how I relearned typing twice in one year
You are correct, I should have been more clear in my phrasing.
Which is another failure of management, and still causing the workers to be punished.
That's the difference - the extensions continue to work, but the gui link to the application changes. Essentially now people will open powershell instead of cmd without necessarily realising.
I'm still somewhat amazed I was able to do this but necessity is the mother of innovation. Perhaps a corollary is that mothers birth infants that really remind you of the necessity to code.
Not true. As others have pointed out, Ford gave Nixon a blanket pardon for things he hadn't been charged with.

The only constitutional restrictions on presidential pardon are

1) He can only pardon crimes against the federal government. That means a presidential pardon won't get you out of a state rap, and it also means he can't use the pardon to affect civil cases.

2) His pardons can't affect impeachment cases. Most notably, he can't pardon himself to avoid impeachment.

Most legal scholars say the president also probably couldn't get away with issuing pardons for acts that haven't occurred yet, since that amounts to a change in the law and encroaches on Congress's powers.
The Blue Card doesn't require more paperwork via mail. My wife switched to it from an academic visa (postdoc) directly at the Ausländerbehörde. It does have two very useful features though:

- It allows you to switch jobs without an additional trip to the foreigner's office (Ausländerbehörde), assuming it was granted for long enough in the first place.

- It allows you to get permanent residence after 33 months of employment, rather than 60, and forgoes the German language requirement of such.

The visa for searching for work is particularly useful for folks that aren't from visa-waiver countries. Most people that aren't from the EU or North America require a visa to visit Germany, and the permit to look for work is a relatively straightforward one to get for those with a relevant degree.
They are not helpful at all. Everyone with half a brain knows what he should do, but it doesn't mean he can.

So not only it is not helpful, but it is infuriating to be repeatedly lectured about the same old wives' advices he already knows, as if he was stupid.

I won't even comment on the abyssal stupidity of your last sentence, you really have no clue of what you're talking about.
This is very cool! I would however just want to draw it all by hand, like a paint tool. Also it could look a bit better.

It billions worth development and marketing effort to create market for wearable that failed. It is now clear that with current tech it is difficult to sell wearable devices that you need to charge every day by connecting cable to wall.

If Apple keep releasing new versions of Macs in last three years, put more effort in operating system they would make more money than on iWatch. Just look on sales of new MacBook...

Instead of focusing in core business like personal computers now they have platform that is widely inconsistent. They now lose PC market to Windows, iPhone is losing emerging markets and they are behind in innovation: VR, AR, AI...
Loneliness is the killer. I recently found out that I had this belief that the others don't need me around, and so they don't ask me for my company. That was actually self-victimization, because I should be the one to reach out when I want company. Doing much better now with that out of the way. This goes for every aspect of life, for me.
The begs the question: can we SETI at home?
Makes sense to me. In the U.S. we ought to have an informed "right to try," especially if we're already afflicted with a fatal disease: http://marginalrevolution.com/marginalrevolution/2016/08/the.... That we don't is an ongoing, underreported scandal.

If I had a fatal cancer I would absolutely sign up for experimental / last ditch efforts in order to see what happens.
Agreed, but some of those features are quite useful. Allowing for tcl/lua-style "upvars" means that a whole class of macros no longer have to be written. I often wish it were more possible to extend the environment of an existing closure, as this would allow for real dynamic variables (as opposed to the hack that Scheme has now, which is actually terrible).
Just you, or just anyone who reads the article. It's soft and flexible. More importantly a consumer, you'd swallow an ordinarily sized gelatin pill.

In the few minutes as the gelatin dissolved, that star would unfurl. In a few weeks, that too would dissolve.

People are really bad at taking pills on a schedule. This seems like a novel solution.

My current "head canon" theory explaining the underutilization of sophons is like this: at first, they weren't meant to be discovered, so they were used primarily for covert communications and locking down particle physics research. Later, they may have decided not to abuse them to wreck havoc with advanced technology in order not to incentivize humans to invest too heavily into sophon-proofing.

I don't know Chinese so I can't evaluate the accuracy of the translations of the other two books, but taken at face value, IMO they're pretty good pieces of writing. I didn't notice any obvious problems, and on the other hand I very much appreciated frequent inclusion of translator's notes that explained things like untranslatable humour, and provided the cultural background for things that may be obscure to Western readers.

The huge caveat with the "money can be demotivating" argument - which I feel never gets raised - is how damaging underpaying can be. If you see others being compensated more than you, for instance, for doing the same... even dogs get resentful:
http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=9794478...

I also can't be the only person who gets upset when the team works incredibly hard, puts in extra hours, etc, towards some goal - say, keeping the company alive - and the only reward is a "good job team". It's quite possible that a party, a day off, etc, would be as good as a financial bonus.

If I feel I am undervalued at my current company, or if I am valued less than others I feel comparable to - that is a much bigger demotivator.

Similarly, cash or equity bonuses (especially after hard work, and not as a pre-set bonus triggering on a condition) feel great and help me to feel like the company cares about me.
You equating white nationalists to child molesters leads me to think you haven't been very careful with your words.
I'm not even talking about the free services, though.

I am talking about the ordinary consumer goods manufacturers that buy the ad space that may or may not be sold on free online services. They're the ones who want that ad space, who benefit from the targeting, and who make the whole operation work.
My experience is that vertical keyboards only alleviate some problems and even cause new ones. They do relieve pressure from the ulna and radius being in a twisted position and they obviously relieve pressure from the side of the hands. On the downside, they put strain on the shoulders and neck since the arm is held freely in the air for prolonged time. Vertical keyboards also don't help with issues due to spreading ones pinkies too far for reaching control, shift and enter. For me the Kinesis Advantage was overall a far better relief. None of the measures I tried were however more effective than stretching and upper body strength training.

Generally, you can charge whatever you want in capitalism so the pricing structure is justified apriori until it fails.

Personally, I get the feeling that most people who start a company are tired of _some_ status quo, and have strong opinions on how they want the end product to look like. Therefore, the last thing they want to do is listen to people telling them how their product should be. And since initially, all you care about are the technical challenges, it stands to reason that coding minutes and hours are more useful than schmoozing and advice garnering.
Doing more with less: the economic lesson of Peak Paper – Aeon Ideas
I fucked my wrists by spending 8+ hours a day on a laptop from age 12 to 22. I have one of those at home, and one at work. They are really good. I went from being able to type 25 hours on a regular keyboard to 50 hours a week with minimal pain on this one.

The sculpt has empty space in the middle (above the space bars), I always liked the thinkpad clit mouse - so I hacked a small trackball in the middle of the keyboard.

(This one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00810ROQ4)

The trackball buttons are not really accessible, but the keyboard has two space bars, so I rewired the left one to be left mouse click.

The warranty is definitely void, but it was worth it.

It's quite real. It's how you apply for a job in the new administration. The President gets to appoint about 4,000 people at the top of the Government. It's hard to find people for undersecretary level jobs - they pay about $165,000, and anyone qualified for them can probably do better elsewhere.

Incidentally, if you look at the page source, it's Salesforce code.
"The only relevant question is whether encryption/Tor/whatever is or is not currently an evidence for/against being an evildoer, and how strong that evidence is."

I think we need to be careful not to argue law from probability theory. While as you've pointed out many things will not actually be predictive of "being a terrorist" (whatever that means) there will be things that _are_ predictive. But we mustn't let the predictive nature of the information be in and of itself justification for obtaining it. There needs to be respect for constitutional limits on the reach of government, regardless of what the math says.

Also, you don't actually need a "true" binary for a shell of any reasonable vintage:

That's not ironic, it's congruent: every quoted person didn't have much time at the moment to make that sentence shorter either.
Maybe it's just me, but if it takes more than five minutes, to figure out how to go from the example chart to a png, perhaps there's a reason no-one knows it.
The Air France example is not a good one - there's no indication the pilots didn't hear or heed the warning, it's that a loud voice blaring "STALL!" was only one of multiple "pay attention to me now" things in the cockpit. To claim the alert needs to be more noticeable/annoying/loud/whatever is completely wrong - they needed information, not alerts.
Working on large, compound muscles, like that I wouldn't recommend every day. I would spread it out to no more than 3 times per week where you can exercise without any muscle stiffness and pain.

If you have the stiffness and pain in your muscles, hydrate yourself well, take the day off from these exercises and substitute light stretching to work on your flexibility, but always always drink plenty of water.

When audit logs go to an audit server, you can't do anything undetected, even as root - the initial login, sudo to root and subsequent activity are logged, so even if I log in and kill the audit daemon, that will be detected and tied back to me.

If I even log on to one of the audit servers without prior approval, it will page the security team. And if they can't validate why I've logged in there, they'll lock out my account.

I've seen this argument brought up in discussions about racial profiling, and... I think this may be a real - and in some situations significant - phenomenon. I currently have no idea how to model it in a way that could plug into the probability calculations. I need to think about this some more.

I say in some situations, because the typical case is that if something (e.g. wearing red shirts) is likely to attract attention you don't want, you'll tend to avoid doing that thing (you'll stop wearing red shirts in order for the police to leave you alone). So there's a negative feedback loop. But I can see how this loop can fail in case of things one can't (easily) change - like skin color, cultural background, religion, etc. This leads me to believe that just looking for probability-based signals may be a good thing in case of guns and encryption, but a bad thing in case of race and religion.

Trump Presidency – Indian students unsure about pursuing US higher education
How to Build Your Network and Get Referrals
I think working for a few years in IT roles where I was on call 24/7 in case a server went down, where I worried that any call I got might be a disaster call, trained my brain to always consider the sound of my phone ringing as a possible emergency. I've been using the iPhone "Old Phone" ringtone for years now and when my alarm goes off I usually catch it by the first or second ring (confirmed by people who have actually called and woken me up). One other thing I've learned is that if I use an ascending alarm, where the ringtone starts quiet and slowly gets louder, it takes a lot longer for me wake up, presumably because my subconscious learns that an ascending ring is most likely not a phone call... my wife and daughter are awoken long before me if I use an ascending alarm, but if I just use a normal one I'm able to wake up and turn it off before it wakes them.
Deep-packet inspection doesn't help if they leak along RF or covert channels in legit traffic. Catching RF leaks outside the most common spectrum is also something requiring expensive equipment and talent. The RF methods are in the TAO catalog as pre-built tools.
