These are fair points and I must've missed the elaboration on them when I looked at the proposal for aliases, as I was left with the feeling they were being pushed forward mainly to solve the gradual repair issue.

I guess I have two points to make:

1) try to make a contained solution for a contained problem because the general solution may carry with it a number of unforeseen issues

2) if you do see an opportunity to apply a general solution, exhaust every use case of that solution and rewrite the problem statement to apply to all those use cases

As for being really annoyed if there were warnings, that was exactly my point. :) Label them as something more specific (a solution to the repair problem) and make it difficult to use them for something else. That doesn't exclude a future, more generic solution – it just avoids unaccounted for problems.
And even when working in a team, the team members are very often heterogenous.

E.g. a surgery team with a surgeon, an anesthesiologist, a few nurses who are specialized for surgery, etc. Such a team would never work if every member had the same say in the decisions.

Ditto with airplanes and ships where you always have one person with the final say.

HSTS preload lists are not new (the Mozilla blog I referenced above is dated 2012).

If it's a case of 'technically illiterate user entered gmail credentials on a wifi-login page' than that can happen on literally any wifi-AP. I'm saying that the claim that phones are being forced to connect to fake base-stations mounted on Cessna's (which is possible) is not at all substantiated by reports of people's Gmail accounts being hacked, the later just sounds like lazy journalism as another commenter has pointed out.

This is a typo - I meant baseband.
A solution that some banks provide is to enable a credit card for only transactions using 3-D Secure [1], in which you are expected to enter a 2FA code sent to your phone by the bank during transaction to a webpage of the bank that gets opened.

Unfortunately, some (most) websites don't support 3-D Secure. I remember that almost all Turkish e-commerce sites I shopped supported it but almost none of the American sites supported it.

Organizations and Conferences

Insist on doing everything through “channels.” Never permit short-cuts to be taken in order to expedite decisions.
Make “speeches.” Talk as frequently as possible and at great length. Illustrate your “points” by long anecdotes and accounts of personal experiences.
When possible, refer all matters to committees, for “further study and consideration.” Attempt to make the committee as large as possible — never less than five.
Bring up irrelevant issues as frequently as possible.
Haggle over precise wordings of communications, minutes, resolutions.
Refer back to matters decided upon at the last meeting and attempt to re-open the question of the advisability of that decision.
Advocate “caution.” Be “reasonable” and urge your fellow-conferees to be “reasonable” and avoid haste which might result in embarrassments or difficulties later on.

Managers

In making work assignments, always sign out the unimportant jobs first. See that important jobs are assigned to inefficient workers.
Insist on perfect work in relatively unimportant products; send back for refinishing those which have the least flaw.
To lower morale and with it, production, be pleasant to inefficient workers; give them undeserved promotions.
Hold conferences when there is more critical work to be done.
Multiply the procedures and clearances involved in issuing instructions, pay checks, and so on. See that three people have to approve everything where one would do.

Employees

Work slowly.
Contrive as many interruptions to your work as you can.
Do your work poorly and blame it on bad tools, machinery, or equipment. Complain that these things are preventing you from doing your job right.
Never pass on your skill and experience to a new or less skillful worker.

You'd need Uber or another Uber-like alternative.

Scenario one requires that you make a massive investment in purchasing your own car - while using Uber's will be cheaper unless you're using cars all day long.

ripgrep's README will tell you: https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep

The short version:

1. It's faster.

2. It's not just faster on code repos, it's also faster than grep itself on single files, so you can use ripgrep in lieu of both ag and grep.

3. It has Unicode support. (More importantly, its Unicode support is fast, and doesn't exhibit huge slow downs like GNU grep does.)

4. Its support for reading gitignore files is quite a bit less buggy than ag.

5. I've heard folks tell me ag was hard to install on Windows, but ripgrep provides first class support for Windows. I've never personally tried ag on Windows, so take that with a grain of salt.

The (much) longer version is my blog post, which goes into a lot more detail, specifically on 1+2+3: http://blog.burntsushi.net/ripgrep/
I really don't get what this is supposed to represent, exactly.

No one commutes from Ashland, Oregon to Portland Oregon - it's a 4+ hour drive. Yet they're in the same pink area. Meanwhile, no one really commutes from Bend to Portland either (2.5 hour drive in good weather), but we're brown over here.

There's certainly some more cultural affinity between cities in Oregon's Willamette Valley than with the more conservative central and eastern part of the state, but even that only holds for the larger cities - there are plenty of pretty 'red' places down the I-5 corridor.

> Using a dynamic table name is pretty standard practice. The reason for that is to allow a table prefix, allowing multiple of the same app within a single database.

This is precisely how PHP programmers think: that MySQL is somehow the gold
standard in the databases world.

Table prefixes are just the stupid way of emulating database schemas where
it's not supported, which is only MySQL (SQLite doesn't support this either,
but it was never meant for web applications anyway).
There is a lot of ink being spilled on what is really a pretty minor technical change. The FBI can break into your house so long as it gets a search warrant. So why shouldn't it be able to hack into your computer with a warrant too? What the rule changes do is just change the jurisdictional requirements for obtaining those warrants. Those changes make sense: the FBI may have no idea what district a particular computer is in. Under those circumstances, the rules permit the FBI to get a warrant from a judge in any district.
> [...] it's more about a good life than a happy life.

I would argue that you cannot disaggregate the two. Only the person living a life can truly make a value judgement on it and if they value it as "good" they are quite literally saying they are happy.

Maybe we're getting caught up by different meanings of happiness. I'm working from happiness being a deep seated contentment (very much "living and faring well") rather than an active effervescent joy.
Shouldn't this be easy to detect, though? Every attempt to use a credit card number online involves a request to the bank providing that card to determine if it's valid, right? So the bank would see thousands of attempts across hundreds of websites for the same card number in a matter of seconds, which is clearly impossible for a human, and flag the card as "stolen".

Or maybe I'm just way too optimistic about how this all works.
I very much doubt the claims are as narrowly scoped as that. As you say, it's either imprecise journalism or merely repeating the reports of people who are (by definition) terribly confused about what's going on.

By the way, I wouldn't call these people technically illiterate. The way you're using that term sets a bar so high that it includes almost everyone. If many people were at that level of technical literacy, we wouldn't have needed HSTS in the first place.

Relevant part of the Constitution, the first amendment:

"Congress shall make no law [...] abridging [...] the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances."

Full first amendment:

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances."

The real problem is, when all you need to justify a crackdown is to make a peaceable assembly unpeaceful, it's relatively trivial to insert agent provocateurs to instigate violence and fade into the background or through the police lines as they push. Therefore I think there needs to be a massive congressional inquiry into the use of agent provocateurs domestically, and laws passed to prevent that usurpation of our Constitutional rights.
In Turkey, it became a requirement from nearly all banks supporting online transactions. I couldn't find out though if it was forced by BDDK (Turkish authority of banking regulation and inspection) though.

"Elementary" is a relative term in my experience.

The formula on 29 is the expected value of the quantity, (Y-m)^2. It is the average squared error under the distribution of Y incurred by a chosen value of m.
I've not had a chance to do more than rely on my compiler to target those. I guess I should play with them more.

However, when it comes to speed, working with primitive types has gotta be faster if supported natively, so anything else anytime soon will play second fiddle.
Nobody since then has championed it, so there's been no progress. Because of that, I'm not aware of how much effort it would be to add; the compiler has changed a lot since those days. That might make it easier or harder.
I worked for one of the big names mentioned above(not IT services) and I am a H1B myself with a masters from a US university.

As far as I understand, "living in the moment" is equivalent to living without past regrets or future worries. For example, letting go of any regrets after a stressful interview gives a person much more brainpower to work on whatever they're doing right now compared with people who will spend days/weeks emotionally distraught over their performance. It's not about blocking any other thoughts out but allowing yourself to move on from unpleasant or traumatic incidents, and also preventing yourself from over-worrying about what might happen to you.

This hints at a more general problem: how does one gather a high-quality repository of knowledge on any given subject? How do you get enough stuff? How do you keep the noise down?

I believe some subjects make the problem harder than others. Programming for instance is full of hard to check claims. Even established techniques are hard to assess. Say you need to parse stuff. Will you go recursive descent? LALR? Earley? PEG? Might depend on what you want to parse, which environment you're working in, how much time you may invest… Or say you write a compiler. Will you use OCaml/F#/Haskell for the ease of handling recursive data structures? Or do you want C/C++ because of the speed, and you know tricks to avoid recursive data structures anyway?

One tempting solution is to start a secret society dedicated to hoard knowledge on the chosen subject. It would be hard to get in, but once there you'd only get quality stuff. (Or you might have gotten into a self-delusional sect…) The idea is, maybe if knowledge was visibly scarce and hard to obtain, instead of merely buried under a mountain of noise, we would treat it with the respect it deserves.
"Why do you think, when performing any other manner of illegal and unconstitutional things, they wouldn't add one more to the list, especially when there seems to be no repercussions?"

Because there's just no incentive for them to use a jammer as opposed to a cell site simulator. With all of the news of government corruption I absolutely wouldn't assume that the government isn't doing something nefarious, but with corruption, it has to be driven by some incentive, there isn't really one here.

"So, I think you are being naive in putting the abuse of zero-day cell exploits past them"

I'm not saying that they wouldn't do this, just that they wouldn't ever bother with jamming specifically other than maybe for a bomb scare.

NS-3 network simulator uses 128bit integers to measure time and they have 3 implementations (search page for int64x64):
http://code.nsnam.org/ns-3-dev/file/38d46996c708/src/core/mo...

It would be much easier for them to just build on top of i128.

Also, you can see that one of the implementations is copied from Cairo, so it seems graphics libraries have some use for 128-bit integers too.
Transaction processors also face fines if the dispute percentage is too high. They don't have forbidden business lists just because they don't like pornography or sex toys. They can also be defrauded by merchants too: Make a fake business, make some fake purchases to yourself and after you get your money, disappear. Then a financial institution is the one holding the bag.

That said, it's absolutely true that an online merchant needs protection from fraud, way past what anyone that isn't Amazon-sized can do on their own. There's third parties that do check prior to any processor. You can also rely on a processor that does more checking, or allows the merchant to made adjustments based on the level of risk they want.
Oh i'm sure people commute. A 4 hour drive is fairly reasonable. I live in Denver and commute to Kansas City (8.5 hours) once a month to visit my folks. If you include gas prices and the price of rentals it comes out to be cheaper than flying and renting a car in KC. With shorter distances this would probably be a huge factor for many. For example, most folks in KC drive to StL which is a 3.5 hour drive. I don't think anyone I've ever known in KC flew to StL.
