Not rolling your own crypto makes sense given that one is unlikely to fully comprehend the potential failures. But then does that not also mean that rolling ones own crypto (with full intention to never use it on anything 'real') and learning at least a little more about potential failures will aid understanding when using crypto?

For example, naive me once wanted to use BCrypt as a signature algorithm for a web-based game when exchanging game state information, to prevent cheating by allowing the server to verify game state transitions. For the purposes at hand, it seemed like a strong enough cryptographic hash (the server handled the signing between clients). The only problem was that BCrypt disregards everything after the first 72 characters. So after headers, everything was signed valid. Everything.
I can't wait for the traditional centralized cloud to fade out. I've been anticipating a model I call PAO [1] for several years—personal application omnipresence. By that I mean applications that run for you personally and are available on all your devices simultaneously.

We've seen gradual movement away from the traditional cloud with several models I call "proto-PAO," such as Microsoft's Continuum. And many applications provide one-off PAO-like experiences by connecting multiple clients to a central server you administrate. But there is so much more to do. I am definitely getting excited, though, that the centralized cloud will likely be replaced in my lifetime.

instead of working to influence the president, Mr. Polisner is choosing to invest in divisiveness. His crisis of conscience may award him laudation from his peers, but it is unlikely to help create good from the Trump Administration. Even Reagan, Bush were influenced. Trump has shown some receptiveness to influence. Mr. Polisner chooses to increase divisiveness instead of build a bridge or contribute to helping the executive branch do good for America.

No you won't... unless you've got that in writing... and even there it's not guaranteed.

Companies say all kind of fake promises, don't trust them. Sadly, being laid off on your last month is a lesson of that ^^
Last time I bought a new Mac was five years ago, but at that time their website had a quiet corner where you could buy the remaining stock of the previous models at a substantially reduced price. They also sold refurbs of current and previous models with further discounts. I bought just after a new-model announcement, and got the machine I'd been looking at the previous week for ~25% off.

> Congestion tolls are great -- they encourage better utilization of a scarce resource (the road at a certain point in time).

Congestion tolls are the rich man's way of getting the government to build enough infrastructure for them without having to pay for enough infrastructure for everybody.

If there is congestion it's either because you don't have enough roads or because you don't have good enough mass transit which is dumping the load it should be carrying onto the roads.
They can encourage their members to avoid those hospitals.

Most doctors don't work for the hospital. That's one of the many reasons behind the strong opposition to Obamacare the creation and consolidation of regional medical systems is making more doctors salaries employees and reduces their bargaining power.

It's meaningless what amount of currency needed for the equivalent value in 1996. You're trading that day.

If you want a solid understanding of DL⊂ML, you'll also need a good understanding of probability theory and information theory. While the mechanics require just matrix math and some vector calc, you'll also want to know linear algebra proper and these days, function spaces especially. A small helping of analysis, for measure theory, will not hurt either.

> I oppose private, for profit charter schools because they are notorious for corruption and poor education in both the college and K-12 sectors.

I've heard the same complaints about corruption in teachers unions and poor education at urban non-charters. Everyone has their own examples for each side of the argument.

I can never tell how much of the pro- or anti- charter allegations are politically motivated or real science.

Best option I have is to rely on actual research. Stanford provides some periodic in depth studies of school performance, and has found that "across 41 regions, urban charter schools on average achieve significantly greater student success in both math and reading."

http://urbancharters.stanford.edu/news.php

That's heavily caveated. There are regional variances. Maybe charters don't outpace peers outside of urban environments. Still, it's enough for me not to dismiss them out of hand.
The problem as I see it is that it's actually impossible to enforce when we're talking Google, Facebook, etc scale....

Let's take BigCorp'inc or whoever which is selling stuff in the UK and not paying any corp tax; should the uk govt take them to court and try to reclaim money it feels its owed? The govt doesn't really have the teeth for that fight; it's in BigCorp's interest to fight incredibly hard and throw vast sums at that kind of problem.. I'm feeling like the endless pockets of these companies would force the govt to drop any case when the costs get high enough (with enough lawyers, how many years do you think even the frist phases of such a case could be drawn out, and at what taxpayer cost?) that would be a huge embarrassment and would mean publically admitting we can't actually enfore this and so we don't even try to do it...

So what's another option? We could attempt a sales ban, but that's a simple bit of math from BigCorp's side which makes it also pointless to attempt: If losing access said market forever costs less than paying taxes in all other countries where you are doing that kind of advoidance is, then goodbye to that market.. Right? If a sales ban on the UK worked, then the same thing would start happening everywhere -- it makes sense for them then to just walk away (certainly, it'll be cheaper).

So we can't force them to pay, and we can't threaten them with exclusion unless everyone else does too, so what else is possible? Drop corp tax and double vat?

Binary Kids – Teaching Coding to Kids
The effects of abruptly stopping SSRI (and later on SNRI) medications have been well-known since the 1980's. It's considered related to the widespread if individually variable distribution of serotonin receptors in the body.

Having prescribed a ton of SSRI/SNRI meds since their introduction, and taken my share as well, it's a phenomenon I'm very familiar with.

Called a "discontinuation syndrome", technically not the same as "withdrawal", which is associated with tolerance, the need to continually increase dose to get the same effect. SSRIs can produce a D/C effect at low or high dose if more likely with greater dose.

Individual response to SSRI D/C varies greatly. I've been very surprised at times when people tell me they've gone off 200mg of Zoloft and never noticed a thing. Others report D/C effects for weeks even after tapering down very gradually.

Most of the time problems with D/C reflect short half-life of compounds. Effexor is notorious in this regard. OTOH more persistent agents like Prozac are typically less troublesome. In fact it's a common strategy to use Prozac as an means to ease D/C when stopping short duration meds.

Going by reports of (probably) a thousand patients, as well as my own experience of D/C effects, generally they're mild to moderate and dissipate within a few days. However there are exceptions and I never hesitated to go as slowly as necessary to minimize excessive discomfort while tapering off the medication.

As I've commented before on HN, this subject again emphasizes some crucially important principles. One is that any medication can cause any side effect at any time. No free lunch, all medicines have numerous effects, some favorable and some not, so it's important to make sure there's a damn good reason for using any medication and understand the risks and benefits.

Finally, every individual has a unique condition and responds uniquely to the treatments we have to offer. It's a partnership between the prescriber and the patient, communication about what's happening during the course of treatment is vital. Believe me I know, whether in the role of doctor or patient, it's a highly evolved art form.

Sorry you had such experience. I had discontinued paroxetine immediately, because me and my doctor didn't think it was working. It wasn't. After taking 3x20mg daily, for a year, I just stopped, and had no side effects. Neither did I have any effects while taking it. It was useless for me. Zoloft was the same, I just gained a lot of weight, and had some side effects. Currently on fluoxetine, which seems to be working, but it might be placebo because the clinical significance of it in moderate to severe depression was disproved in a study. I officially have bipolar with moderate depression, and take aripiprazole and fluoxetine. I also once was taking haloperidol which was like torture (haloperidol 10mg 1+0+1). I was 14 at the time. What the hell.

Anecdotally speaking, in the last 2 years, I've seen 3 ex-Twitter (as their most recent position) people apply, and none of them made it passed the second phone interview, which was the first real technical one.

I didn't do the interviews myself, but I watched them, and I was very unimpressed with the applicants.

I can say this about most (70%) Amazon people too... (and am in Seattle, so we see a lot of them).
For an concrete example let's take garlic peelers (a typical "long-tail" product). The top search results are e-commerce sites, affiliate reviews, Cook's Illustrated, WikiHow, a 1996 NYT article describing its invention, and a Kickstarter campaign to reinvent the garlic peeler. Finally somewhere on page 2-3 is this review site: https://moo.review/garlic-peelers/.

They clearly spent some effort on this; it's all original content, nice pictures, good layout, etc. But as a person buying a garlic peeler, it's pretty much unusable due to the lack of editing; spelling errors such as "realy", the majority of the page taken up by a how-to, and tons of fluff such as "Some of the peelers presented more problems than they solved." There's about one paragraph per item.

Meanwhile, Amazon reviews are composed mostly of worse fluff ("amazing", "excellent", "I use it every day", etc.), and there's more of it. But there is also the occasional interesting complaint such as "The interior has to be cleaned after 2-3 uses due to garlic juice." and "The rolling motion gave my friend arthritis". Definitely more than a paragraph of info, maybe even two or three. So the info is there, it's just a problem of extracting it.
I would agree. In extended hospital sessions that my wife and I have experienced, having continuity was huge, especially as the nurses swap out every 8-12 hours.

In my case, I suffered from this issue after a back surgery when some dumbass hospitalist read my chart wrong and told the nurse to cut off pain medication 10 hours after a spinal fusion. I asked the nurse for meds after she woke me up at 3 AM (to take my blood pressure and ask if my birthday had changed) and she refused and essentially accused me of shopping for narcotics.

When my surgeon checked in on me at the start of his day (5AM), he was shocked and got things fixed.
Set this to 900:

terminationGracePeriodSeconds

Optional duration in seconds the pod needs to terminate gracefully. May be decreased in delete request. Value must be non-negative integer. The value zero indicates delete immediately. If this value is nil, the default grace period will be used instead. The grace period is the duration in seconds after the processes running in the pod are sent a termination signal and the time when the processes are forcibly halted with a kill signal. Set this value longer than the expected cleanup time for your process. Defaults to 30 seconds.
I stand corrected. Excellent points.

Apparently a Linux-based system was a contender for iPhone OS:

> Around 2005, Jobs faced a crucial decision. Should he give the task of developing the device’s software to the team that built the iPod, which wanted to build a Linux-based system? Or should he entrust the project to the engineers who had revitalized the software foundation of the Macintosh? In other words, should he shrink the Mac, which would be an epic feat of engineering, or enlarge the iPod? [1]

When this article first came out, I made the assumption that this statement meant iPod OS was Linux-based---also feel like I heard that somewhere else---but I have not found any sources to confirm this. Anyone else know?

I don't think Reddit helps much. I don't use my real name on Reddit anymore, so I have no qualms about making a controversial comment. If it gets too downvoted, I can delete the comment and limit the losses.

It's also super-easy to get comment karma. For example, AskReddit has a pretty much weekly repeating set of questions, and since it's a default subreddit, lots of people vote there. Find last week's top answer and repost it. (I got the highest-voted comment on Reddit once, via AskReddit. A few weeks later, someone reposted my comment and got more upvotes than I did! And more gold!)

If you want to troll on Reddit, you will have no problems doing so. The only thing that makes certain subreddits usable are diligent mods. (Though sometimes they are too diligent. I am banned from AskReddit for apparently posting something that was in the same format as a phone number, which is "personal information". My appeal was ignored.)

And I have only: Facebook Ads Block, Ghostery and uBlock Origin.

So being Windows 7 and probably an 32bits Firefox install may cause all this difference?

For whatever reason though, busing led to miraculously improved outcomes.

This is asserted in episode 562, but no evidence was cited. I did a deep dive on this myself, reading numerous studies and various books, and in my opinion any link between integration and academic achievement is minimal at best. Read the two books by Raymond Wolters, and then compare with the American Life episodes, and make your own judgement about which side has the more accurate narrative.
All these things are exactly what's I'd do 99% of the time with the underlying calls, and I'm glad c++11 does them for me. It's like... Well duh, this is exactly the concept of abstraction.
I approach this differently. There are a few use cases I go to the web for. For each use case that is not a free browsing I create an electron app, that never executes any code from the web or uses any external style. It only uses XHR to fetch html pages/json data/other static stuff and then transforms that data and uses it in the custom UI designed for the use case.

For example one use case is collection of news. My app looks almost like a typical RSS feed reader, except that article content is full and interactive. I can inline stupid image galleries that break article flow, I can convert custom video players into a simple <video> tag, I can drop what I don't care for. I can switch between tor/non-tor mode in a secure way that doesn't leak anything and is probably more secure than torbrowser.

I have direct access to any OS programs, so I can easily open m3u8 videos in mpv player on one click or using a keyboard shortcut, or I can download streaming videos locally and convert them to mp4 on the fly, save useful content of the pages to the database, including relevant images, etc.

All JS code is controlled by me, web servers serve me only as data sources.

What is key to make this fun and useful is structuring the app as a unified UI for multiple data sources and to be able to define data sources quickly. Fortunately ES6 generators can be used in a way that makes fetching and transforming data without the need for callbacks, or promises very easy and clear. Adding a new source is usually a matter of minutes.

It is also nice that when improving the UI, I get a new feature for all the websites that I frequent at once.

It allows me to consume content the way I want, without much exposure to tracking. All the website gets from me is an access_log entry, no cookies, nothing.

I'd say I'm quite ahead of the "war" between users and advertising networks.
The jump cuts in that video are clear. The person who leaked these very likely had access to years and years of daily briefings (which is what these are, they're not discussions/deliberations as some try to claim), and yet was only able to select 15-ish (don't remember exactly how many) short, highly-edited clips to try to concoct a controversy. It didn't work because no one is surprised that a group of 80+-year-old men who preach that homosexuality is sinful are uncomfortable with homosexuality.

This is really the MO of these bitter ex-Mormon groups. They are constantly desperately trying to kick up controversies that just don't have any meat to them, purely out of personal spite. They then express surprise that people without a grudge are uninterested and they have to make their own fake Wikileaks because the real WL knows these standard internal documents are of no public interest.
It gives you a "restore session" page where you can choose which tabs to re-open.

That $0.75/share price is already adjusted for the splits. So the stock price back in 1996 would have been around $20/share. So that's $200 in 1996 that would be ~$32k today. A 15000% return is still nothing to sneeze at and that's before you count the dividends they started issuing after Jobs died.

The Brutal Dreams That Came True
The Federalist Papers have a few good ideas on this.

Next best thing to finding a philosopher king is to try to create lots of warring interest groups that prevent each other from doing much at all. Or maybe make everything take supermajorities...

In a small setting like a school district, it's not clear there's any way to protect the rights of a minor subset of the population without simply granting them disproportionate power and making the other subset of the population the maligned group.

If group A wants x, and group B wants y, then you can either solve it by majoritarian or anti-majoritarian rules. Depending on the issue, I want majorities to decide in some cases, and not on others. I don't feel like issues of slavery, for example, are appropriate democratic questions.

You could put a special court on top of the structure with the goal of looking out a sort of "Rawlsian fairness," trying to seek the outcome that both parties would agree to if they were both spending some time in each others' shoes.

I'll admit I don't know what the fair resolution should be in a school district where a majority of parents prefer no school taxes and no public schools, just that people seem to get pretty unfairly hurt as this one unfolded.
