If I kidnap you and then extend your kidnapping time because of your belligerent misbehaving and escape attempts, that would seem completely ridiculous, right? It's like casebook circular reasoning....

And yet, when wrongfully imprisoned, you can hold someone back from justice because of their behavior while trying to survive in a hostile prison environment? WTF?

My last company created a policy that when traveling to some countries, specifically China, we were told to only take fresh Chromebooks and set the up at our location. That way we could be reasonably certain there was no spyware (verified RO boot) and no way for for them to take our data even if they took our laptop during entry. Of course, the could have installed a hardware keylogger, but the risk was low enough.

Yes, I think the author's criticism of the original article is a bit harsh and misdirected. There are lots of caveats and qualifications in the original, including the frank admission that the transducers are difficult and expensive to make. It also includes explicit statements to the effect that a cheap ultrasound machine is not intended for serious medical use but rather for "education, imaging, sports training and just for fun."

At least in the case of Twisted, it probably didn't help that for a long time it was GPL licensed with all community contributions requiring copyright assignment to the lead developer.
>> or have only 5-6 hours of battery life

Laptops with long battery life are still a bit of a novelty to me -- it's probably because I'm older and the average battery life since my very first laptop (a Powerbook 170) is probably well below 3 hours. I'd be super happy with 5-6 hours of battery life.

This is a great paper. On InfluxDB we used a similar compression technique for float64s in our new storage engine. A key difference we have is that we separated timestamps from values so we can use run length encoding for regular time series.
One of my influences, Armin Ronacher, has been doing a lot of Rust work lately, so I've been thinking about looking at it more closely since I appreciate his Python tastes.

Is Rust simple and elegant in the sense that Python is? I've also heard it's for systems programming, which makes me think of C and has kept me away from it. I like how I can bang out scripts quickly in Python. Is the same true of Rust?

edit: found this http://lucumr.pocoo.org/2015/5/27/rust-for-pythonistas/
is that you Zed?
i. let x = [ 1, 2, 3].map(i => i * 10)

ii. x = list(map((lambda i: i * 10), [ 1, 2, 3 ]))

iii. x = [i * 10 for i in [1, 2, 3]]

All these methods are really just multiple sides of the same coin. All I see is different syntax, none looks any better from my point of view and unless there is a clear performance benefit, just use what you are used to, or what your coding standards define.
Have I made my game too difficult?
I think this comment about the extra hassle is worth thinking about in the context of an open internet.

If you're a generic human being and want to do something like create a little blog or share some artwork online or whatever, any little extra barrier or complexity is just a big pain in the butt that discourages you from doing that. I think this trend towards https is a factor in subtly encouraging people to just sign up up for one of many walled gardens out there in Facebook/Tumblr/Twitter/whatever because it's a lot less work and that's a bad thing for a free and open web in the long run.
Aren't there lots of caveats for each platform when using so called "cross-platform" code?

After reading your comment, I was surprised to take a look at the paper and find that it does, indeed, appear to support conclusion that IQ is less important than many people think. Neither the paper nor the linked article argue that IQ is not a factor. But both say that other factors are more important, this is clear from both the abstract and the first paragraph of the article, where it says, "Personality is generally more predictive than IQ on a variety of important life outcomes."

Of course, personality+IQ will be more predictive than either alone. But the "innumerate" journalist seems to me to have done a better job of capturing the gist of the paper than you. (Whether the paper's methodology and analysis are sound is a different question from whether the journalist reported its findings correctly.)

One criticism the article makes is that people with elite educations are expected to be leaders of the entire country (or community or other group), yet they often do not understand the common man at all. I think this is both valid and note worthy. It goes a long way towards explaining the discontent of "the 99 percent."

Rules made by elite are often rules made for the benefit of the elite as well. They often completely overlook the needs of the rest of the people and these rules may benefit the elite at the expense of the masses.

It is one of the reasons I walked away from my scholarship. I am unwilling to exercise power in that manner.
I'm guessing you were thinking mostly about financial and political self-interest (the things we usually classify as "greed") when you wrote this post. But I think there are other, equally important ways to be selfish.

For example, humans evolved to be social creatures. Interactions with other humans impact our body chemistry in dramatic ways. I want to avoid loneliness, so I selfishly hold relationships with others. I want to hear people say "thanks" to me, so I selfishly give people gifts. I want to be able to be righteous without hypocrisy, so I selfishly stick to my principles.

Just my two cents. There are a lot of different types of desire in the world. Who's to say that UBI wouldn't be in folks' best self-interest?
For when - it was c.2009 London started having routine armed patrols I think (it's down to local forces in theory).

Why is harder to answer. As a trend I don't think it's been directly related to terrorism. There have been no calls from the public for it and some typically quiet British grumbling at it.

The cynic in me imagines politics has played a part. Getting hold of extra budget for policing is probably difficult at the moment but guns are probably an exciting enough reason to release funds.

That said, they very much are using the latest incident in Berlin to push armed officers out onto the streets.

I have lost faith in Apple engineering.

My iPhone 6s is sketchy (e.g., lockups, shutdowns) whereas my iPhone 4s was bulletproof. And it seems the new MPBs are lame.

My current MBP from 2010 shipped with a broken GPU Apple refuses to replace in warranty (even though I bought a 3 year support contract which is pretty much an anti harassment tax). Yeah, premium support right there. The only reason I can use it is because some intelligent and nice people released a piece of open source software (with various 3rd party fixes to make it keep working in later OS X revisions) allowing me to swap to integrated instead of discrete graphics card.

> Also, once the market catches up to USB-C, which will take 12-18 months, you'll no longer need those adapters.

You do, well maybe you don't. But I would, and many other too. For all the devices you are currently using which you're not replacing with USB-C devices.

> Lastly, it's just silly and inaccurate to call the iPhone "disposable", when in fact it leads the industry in terms of how long the product lasts, how long the OS is supported for older hardware, etc. By a wide margin.

Well, you need to upgrade to the latest iOS or you can forget about security fixes. According to reports this leads to a lot less uptime and/or a slower device. So its far less rose tinted than you claim. Besides, the iPhone 4 doesn't get software updates anymore.

On top of that, yes an iPhone is disposable from a hardware PoV as well. You can't upgrade any of the hardware, replacing the screen costs (in my country) 150+ EUR, you can't replace the battery (even though you are recharging daily which means after 3 years the battery is ripe for replacement).

By contrast, my phone is getting security backports to its older Android version (5.1.x). I can replace the battery and screen myself without a problem.

No argument here. But what makes 2017 so special that these same sorts of events (or even more drastic ones) won't continue? Placing any amount of hope solely on an arbitrary date by wishing for a sooner end to 2016 just seems asinine.

Ah shoot, that is right! Safeway and Albertsons merged, don't know why I thought they'd become part of Kroger.

It'd take massive volume to get close to the price points any of them can hit, cause SuperValu and other wholesalers are not gonna give Amazon volume discounts otherwise.

How to Hire Best Freelancers Online
i agree, though i'm worried about the security it actually offers and what protocols and ciphers are still considered secure.

Next PCI DSS will require most services to be using (and not honoring lower then) TLSv1.2; i'm not sure about what to do when (not matter of if, but when) that is considering no longer secure, TLSv1.3 isnt ready yet from what i understand.

Now that i write this i wonder, are there btw server/client solutions that utilize PGP? E.g. send requests via encryption with public pgp key server and response back to client with public key of client?

Question for the experts. Say I'm writing a bunch of code for date/time stuff in JavaScript, using the built-in `Date` API. Is this something I need to worry about? I've read countless "falsehoods programmers believe about time" blog posts but they tend to not explain the why of it.
Here's your user assumption: 99.8% of browsers have Javascript turned on. Creating a fallback version of your app that works without Javascript is basically like developing for IE 5 -- you are completely wasting your time.

Here's another one: mobile browsers make up a majority of web traffic now, and Chrome and Safari are pretty well split in terms of share. Sending HTML tags over the wire is a waste of your users time. The idea of "progressive enhancement" should be thought of more as, "what can we display quickly on our user's screen while we're downloading and parsing the Javascript to make the application work". Note that this doesn't mean loading screens, just an initial state which shows the user progress in building up the app from that initial http connection. Regardless of the negativity around AMP, Google has made us think about what exactly we need to do in order to provide a good experience quickly and a feature-rich experience within a couple of seconds.
You're absolutely right. The Supreme Court has ruled (Carol v United States '25) that constitutional protections must be balanced with a sovereign's interests at ports of entry like international borders and shipping ports. As long as this is targeted at non-residents (anyone without US citizenship, a green card, or a work visa like the H1B) you can make a strong argument that they have no right of anonymity because it is in the sovereign's interest to defend against someone legally entering the country under false pretenses. This makes sense without even having to resort to the terrorism Boogeyman.
Maybe I'm mis-understanding but it sounds like your talking about something entirely different?

Some sites just wouldn't work well with HTML+optional JS. Google maps (IMHO) would not work well that way, so using an offline-oriented model would make better sense.

That being said, if your a news site, or a blog, yeah, a simple static page is probably a better solution.
I didn't mean to refetch HTML partials. You can still re-fetch JSON and render it on the browser eg. what jquery web apps did, and mostly do still (even though less prominently featured on HN).
This comment lacks context, however it isn't untrue. They view humans as automata that can be programmed to accept the views of the firms founder without questioning. On paper, questioning things is highly encouraged but in practice the entire thing is turned on its head and essentially used as a screening mechanism to find people willing to offer their life unconditionally to the so called social, economic and corporate governance experiment - hence the widely held perception of this being a cult. The recent article on AI is a testament to this thinking, at least in my view.

What gives it away as a prank? I surely couldn't tell. Anything more than the reference to March 31?
I had exactly the same experience a few years ago. Now a few years later, more of the Racket documentation makes sense, but many parts are still outside of my background understanding. I still have to trade-off the frustration of not understanding for convenient access to all the documentation. Because Racket's documentation is so good, it's easy to navigate to a subject that's over my head.

I agree there is a problem with 'Racket'.

'Racket' can mean an ecosystem distributed with batteries included. It can mean the language referred to by #lang racket at the top of a source file. And 'Racket' can mean any one of several other languages shipped in the distribution.

Racket the language (aka #lang racket) is a useful general purpose programming language. When #lang racket programs address complex problems they tend to become more complex. When #lang racket programs implement sophisticated procedures, they tend to become more sophisticated. Python, Ruby, C, etc. are similar in that respect. The Racket documentation reflects this. There are parts that are simple and self contained. There are parts that are at the edge of programming language design. And they're all in one place.
> At this point, civil disobedience on the issue is likely irresponsible.

That might be true if it were only the US doing this, as the US provides other measures to fight this type of ridiculousness. It's not /only/ the US that's doing this sort of thing, it's just that the US is now doing it too. Other countries have been doing the same thing for years, and it is something we should fight against worldwide. I see nothing irresponsible about civil disobedience given that this is a global issue of border agents requiring travelers to unlock phones, turn over passwords and social media accounts, etc.

I am fortunate to be traveling on a US passport, so as you point out the consequences for my refusal to cooperate are probably not as dire for me as it would be for someone from some other countries. Nonetheless, standing up for your basic principles and human rights is not a fight that is comfortable. I freely acknowledge that many people who disobey at the border could have life altering consequences for doing so, but it's also not acceptable for these sorts of questions to be asked. It's none of the government's business, frankly. Every individual has to make that choice for themselves.
I mean clairvoyantly sure, but why not imagine the future? Traveling to Mars, autonomous and flying cars, intergalactic space travel etc. type problems are all thinking in a long range, certainly not 5 to 7 years. Look at something like planes even, which took humans years to have the right tools. Thats why people mull over the possibilities of an outcome to reach their goal, which could very well be a long term, 100+ year goal. Instead of worrying about the unpredictability, you can hope the unpredictability will lead to answers for questions you can't answer yet; thats the whole reason for research labs at Google and such, working on longer term problems, finding what's missing now and shelving things for later when we might be able to accomplish the goal.
The new MacBooks have still outsold all other competitors, apparently:

https://intelligence.slice.com/apples-macbook-pro-launch/
> As a weaker example, I have an LG 27UD88 Monitor. The USB-C connection from it works, but only carries 60W of charging "oomph," and the 15" macbook pro needs 85W of charging. So, even though the menubar icon on the mac signals that charging is happening, the battery is actually depleting over time

It actually loses battery being charged @ 60W? I can't imagine the MBP 15" is actually pulling that much current over the long term... If this is the case, that means it's simply not using the power delivery whatsoever which seems utterly insane.

I've plugged in my 15W phone charger to my 15" MBP, and I was fairly certain at the time my battery was going down less than it was previously. This could of course been placebo.

Ugh, what a silly rollout if so. Plus Apple shipping USB-C 2.0 cables with their chargers in an effort to save... $1? On a $3,000 laptop? Just ridiculous.

Not having a viable USB-C -> HDMI adapter at launch has to be the biggest oversight/wtf for me though. I don't know many users of MBP's that don't do presentations/toss some code up on a projector/etc. from time to time. This is now genuinely hard to impossible. I have to carry 2 HDMI adapters in my bag, as some TVs work with one, some the other. And some not at all.

I'm all for the move to USB-C - but it's like they put zero thought into the transition. You can't cripple a generation of hardware like this.

I know most of these problems will be solved both in software and in third party support - but man this product feels like some manager pulled 4 different groups together and said "you guys have had 3 damn years, release what you have now" and they tried badly at integrating it all together in a couple weeks.

Then you get into actual day to day usability issues like the touchbar lacking the completely in-your-face-obvious feature of haptic feedback making it almost useless... Like how was that not the first thing the first UIx tester who used the escape key said? Just amazes me.
Because then your ability to stay private and secure is tied to the government?
