It doesn't have to be all about the evolutionary fitness of regenerating limbs. I think it might just be that losing a limb (and having the opportunity/time to regrow it) may have been a fairly unlikely event. Possibly, those genes mutated and were broken, right around the same time that some other genetic advantage evolved that caused a huge gain in evolutionary fitness.

The ability to regenerate limbs could have been lost in mammals simply because some old pre-mammal who happened to have broken regeneration genes was smarter and much better at finding food than the rest, and went on to pass his/her genes to all of us.

Furthermore, the evolutionary advantage of regenerating limbs may not be much in most animals. It's something we really would like to have, But imagine that some ancient primate species was able to regenerate limbs. Under what scenario do primate lose limbs? When some tiger chews them off? If that was ever to happen to a primate, it was basically fucked. Even if the tiger didn't eat it, it didn't fare very well lacking an arm for several months. The primate that is better at spotting tigers and avoiding them has much higher evolutionary fitness.

> can refer to any other war effort that benefitted anyone else than the wall street (or domino theorists in Washington)

Let's see...

1) The First and Second Barbary Wars probably qualify, seeing as they predate both. But more to the point, I suspect they benefited lots of people outside of the US in general.

2) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aegean_Sea_Anti-Piracy_Operati... -- or does that not count as a war?

3) I assume you're not going to count the US Civil War?

4) Pretty sure the US involvement in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allied_intervention_in_the_Rus... didn't benefit Wall Street, though it's not clear it really benefited anyone else, other than the Czechoslovak Legion, of course. Or would this count as a "UN sanctioned peace action" albeit in pre-UN days, given the number of countries involved?

5) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1958_Lebanon_crisis -- at first glance the US intervention prevented things degenerating into a more serious civil war. Or is this something that you think only benefited domino theorists?

6) I don't know enough about https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communist_insurgency_in_Thaila... to tell whether it would count here, but I do think it benefited at least the Thai government.

7) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaba_II

8) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multinational_Force_in_Lebanon is a weird one, in that it's not clear that it really _benefited_ anyone in the end, but it was certainly not aiming to benefit domino theorists or Wall Street and as far as I can tell wasn't really UN-sanctioned, but was a peacekeeping mission.

9) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invasion_of_Grenada -- or are you going to call this something to benefit domino theorists? The outcome (democratic elections, the day of the invasion being considered a national holiday in Grenada now) suggests that maybe the Grenadans benefited. Note that this one was _condemned_ by the UN.

10) Intervention in Kosovo in 1998/9. This was not UN-sanctioned. Pretty sure neither Wall Street nor domino theorists (what dominos?) benefited.

> Also, I'm not accounting UN sanctioned peace actions.

So just to be clear, specifically not counting the Korean War, the 1990-91 Gulf War, intervention in the Somali Civil War, intervention in Haiti in the mid-90s, Bosnia around the same time, Libya in 2011, right? Anything I missed?

My friend is a co-founder similar tool to yours (but probably not a competition to you) - https://www.timecamp.com/ ... and I'll say, he made break-even after 3 years (he had some $ from investors).

I don't think I can agree with this list at all. Whatsapp on number one is kind of odd to me, I'd think Signal would take first place or at least a higher place than whatsapp. :-)
fsloth would claim that this was a "UN sanctioned peace action", I bet. ;)

In Chrome you can find it out by searching for 'exit-intent' event and setting a breakpoint on that. They use the mouseleave event on an element that covers the whole page. When your mouse leaves the web page viewport it will trigger that.

About 6 months before starting my upper division applied maths coursework, I picked up a copy of Baby Rudin, slogged through chapter 1-2, decided it was an inefficient use of time, and contented myself to wait to learn from my future courses' lecturers. Now I'm about 6 months into my upper division coursework and the most important lesson I've learned is that the only way to learn the concepts is to slog through them on your own. The pace is usually so slow you feel like you're not actually learning anything. But every once-in-a-while a couple pieces fall into place, whatever puzzle you're looking at gets a little clearer, and you realize you're growing and making progress.

Anyways, my point is that I bet you can do it, you should try, and it might feel hopeless at first. Don't be surprised or discouraged if it takes you something like an hour per page (or more) to work through a textbook. The good news is that's probably all you really need to do: work through it.

Actual ladder:

1. Writes simple programs

2. Writes more complex programs

3. Writes programs that are maintainable

4. Writes programs that are maintainable by others, and communicate module intent clearly to team members who interact with it

5. Writes programs that are maintainable etc., and also make good use of resources, both computational and human

The emphasis on language concepts seems so distracting that I wander how much time people have left to make their program externally better (better functionality, better performance, more maintainable by others) rather than internally better (make use of clever abstractions). That the two are related is a hypothesis which doesn't seem to be supported by evidence, and is believed by those who enjoy thinking about the latter more than about the former and want to justify their focus.

I agree that microservices appear to move the complexity around (and add to it), rather than necessarily making things simpler.

My feeling is that they make a lot of sense for addressing the organizational problems of having multiple sets of developers working on different parts of the same product, so it's valuable for larger organizations. They have already paid for a lot of operations infrastructure, so breaking a multi-team monolith into a service per team is viable and useful for getting things done. People problems are the hardest problems in tech.

The organization that I work for almost never has more than a "two-pizza team" (eight people) on any one project, so monoliths are a more efficient way for us to build and ship products. We do use external services of course.

Or you can solve it as done in GRLIB (www.gaisler.com/index.php/downloads/leongrlib), with having all on-chip peripheral information (memory & irq map, etc) specified in a ROM configuration area (which is automatically generated at synthesis time).
Back then this makes sense, but today the Jewish lobby is as significant as the "military industrial complex". It's unfortunate that it's considered impolite to speak about the influence of Jews in US politics, unless you think this influence is a good thing. So we get deathly silence from the left on this issue.
I agree with the idea but disagree about the romanisation part. There are many reasons why people should start with romanised versions first. The main reason is that one should concentrate on the language first and on complex writing later, otherwise there is too much information to process. The other reason is that any useful actual writing in those languages will be done in the romanised alphabet (i.e.: on a computer). The barrier of unlearning the pronunciation of different characters is no larger when learning Chinese pinyin while being english, than learning Slovak pronunciations of Latin letters while being French.
There's no questioning that Chrome's sandbox implementation is ahead of Firefox: they've been shipping it for several years, whereas Firefox only got its first one out in Firefox 50 (for content! They had a Flash sandbox and DRM/media decoder sandbox for longer), with the more strict ones being in the Nightly/Dev Edition branches. It's possible the real Firefox is not vulnerable to this exploit because of that, but we'll have to see.

None of this would have helped Tor/TBB, because it's based on an older Firefox branch, with no sandbox at all. This means most vulnerabilities are exploitable and lead to a total compromise. There's relatively few of those and they get fixed very quickly, but if you use Tor you are likely specifically targeted so any hole is very serious.

Parent sounds so bad because he seems to grade security by seeing how many CVE's the developer publishes, ignores the fact that browser exploits are often done by exploiting attack surface outside the browser (because all browsers are - relatively speaking to other software - secure), and conflating Chrome vs Chromium.

This particular bug is bad (it's a 0day - a security exploit found by bad guys before Mozilla or security researchers found it) but a lot of the buzz here is because such problems are rather rare these days, and because it's targeting Tor.
But wait there's more... the mounted volume performance makes it unusable for anyone using mounted volumes for stuff like say dev work. It's a complete joke.

Like everything in history it is a bit more complex than this. Parts of of Hong Kong were on perpetual leases while the New Territories were on 99 year lease [1]. In the end it all came down to pure politics and China was adimant that Hong Kong was to be returned in full. The UK was in no position to disagree.

Wire is indeed awesome. However, as far as I can see, it's still questionable, whether it is as secure as developers tell us and if it really could be "trusted". AFAIK, Signal's developers said something like "we do not recommend to use Wire/Wire's protocol" (however, it all could be kind of political).

That question is exactly what I'm asking, what is "myself" and what is "the environment as defined around myself".

And I'm pretty sure there's no clear answer, but the question and reasonings ensuing are interesting.

By one definition, my possessions, my experiences, my social network would be part of myself. So changing my brain wouldn't be changing myself per se if those remained the same.

Another definition would be the strictly biological body, and of course changing the body would be changing the self.

But there's a fuzzier definition where something in the brain brings up "consciousness" and a sense of self, if I change something in the brain that isn't that particular part, the sense of self, have I changed the self or not?

Hello guys !
We would like to know your opinion about our idea. So, we noticed that we lost too much time in trying to choose our clothes after the wake up.
Our solution is an application which choose for you the right clothes. First, you take a picture of your all clothes. Then, the application propose to you three solutions. For exemple, a red T-shirt with a blue jean accompanied by your most beautiful sneakers. Several options will be propose to you depending on the situation (to work, to party, for the weekend...)
Please, we would like your feedback on this idea ?

There are reasons to suspect the author's story as told. What stands out to me is that he really doesn't seem like the genius he portrays himself to be. It's possible but doesn't seem likely that a Business Administration BA with two years of Peace Corps experience would suddenly be recruited by the NSA to be an economic hitman for a shadowy consulting firm.

The firm fell apart 10 years later. The man who hired him (and later recanted some of his vague corroborations) was fired for insider trading and eventually ended up running a local Tuscon power company. His partner from his post-consulting enterprise (a power company of his own) admits they failed but that the author is a fun guy and full of ideas. This was followed by a pivot to writing books about shamanism, indigenous cultures and psychedelic experiences.

Of course, the NSA version could be true. But the circumstantial evidence offers a simpler explanation where the author is embellishing or inventing his own role and first-hand knowledge of how global economic structures and forces operate.

I don't want to discredit the macroeconomic skepticism. But I think there's a good chance this particular author is weaving things he's read about with things he's made up in his mind.
