Thank you for reply.

It's clear now. Your explanation eases my worries. I will looking forward for its security issue. I have googled that that issue can't be detected and removed.

Yeah the:

Seems very dubious. The first successful MSRs were built over 60 years ago. The reason none are in commercial use is probably because the costs would work out higher than conventional reactors.
Aren't the main uses for plant poisons/toxins being a defense mechanism for the plant? What evolutionary advantage does killing a predator hours after they killed you have? Seems most "smart" plants would try to be as painful as possible up-front, before they get eaten.

I had an opportunity to dig into the details of hyperloglog recently, and I wrote up my results here - http://moderndescartes.com/essays/hyperloglog

HyperLogLog is definitely one of the most elegant algorithms I'm aware of. The only thing is that the problem it solves is very specific, and it's hard to generalize it to do other things.

So rarely is speed actually needed. If you need the speed though, just write a library in C/Fortran/Go and call it from Python. That way you can do all your business logic where it's easy and very fast (Python) and still have room for crazy fast (Go, C) if you need it. Most real applications bottleneck in the database though, not the language.
That's just doing a copy of contiguous memory though? Sure, C has simple custom data types.

I like to think of it as one small step above assembly languages; it's certainly not a "portable assembly", but it's about as low as a high-level language can possibly be.
Exfiltration via receive timing
I'm the same way. A full day interview is just silly, multiple day interviews, no way. Look at my resume, meet me, decide, make an offer. If it doesn't work out, fire me, but don't play this silly game of multiple interviews with multiple people that don't really talk to each other or coordinate. It makes the company look like they don't know what they are doing and/or are indecisive. You can keep that.

Changing the legal age in this manner would have had serious negative effects on my life. Frankly this idea horrifies me.

Let me explain:

-A job I had in highschool enabled me to buy my own car and pay for insurance at 17 (added as a driver to my parents plan of course).

-I got my first credit card at 18 when I went to college, I have never carried a balance on it month to month (I'm now 26)

-The last time I lived with my parents was the summer after my freshmen year in college

-I graduated with an engineering degree at the age of 21

-I've had a steady fulfilling engineering job for 4.5 years since graduation

-I met my current wife freshmen year of college and we got married a year after graduation

-In 2014 I bought a house based purely of my personal credit history and employment status

-I have voted in every presidential election despite not being actively involved in politics

I'm sure I fall well outside the typical statistics for someone of my age, and I've been very lucky so far. Lots of my coworkers are in a similar situation as me, but there's also lots of people in the opposite situation.

Do you see why this horrifies me? Do you think these ideas would be positive for the young adults that have found success in life?

Masters of Doom may well be the only book I've finished this year. I'm currently reading a few novels and The Snowball (Buffet's bio) but it is a slow process because of the overwhelming amount of time I spend reading news, technical resources, comics, and short stories.

I cannot recommend Masters of Doom highly enough to anyone on this website. It's about the rise of Id games and the technological and cultural breakthroughs they made in the industry. Kushner expertly weaves a tale about video games, programming and entrepreneurship in a way that few can. His attention to detail is masterful -- not simply an overabundance of detail, but detail in all the places it belongs. I really felt like I was there with the two great Johns, just as invested in the future of Id as they were.

Even when you contact their customer support about it they just shrug it off and do nothing.

I ordered a weightlifting belt from them earlier this year, an "Inzer" which is an expensive brand, like advertising a laptop as "Apple".

Turns out it wasn't an Inzer, but I was actually overall happy with it for the price. Contacted the seller, they gave me BS about "Inzer is just what this type of belt is called", which is 100% untrue. It's like saying thin grey laptops are called "Apple".

So I contacted Amazon customer support about it. The guy kept trying to send me a return receipt, I said I didn't want to return it, the product was fine for my use for the price, but they should fix the listing.

It's still up in unchanged form today, although they're currently out of stock: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B018N7POAM/

In my opinion, Amazon is guilty of anti-competitive behavior. By operating a market place at the same as operating the worlds largest online retailer the interests of the two businesses result in actions that are not necessary in the best long term best interests of the consumer. When a product in the market place is successful, Amazon the retailer, on a regular basis decides to compete with the smaller vendor, often forcing them out of the market due to Amazon the marketplace favoring their own products. This reduces competition in the long run. Unfortuantely due to their size, and the fact that Amazon has become the defacto product search engine (since it's hard to get decent placement in google without paying a large sum) Smaller retailers are forced to use their services, so "not participating in the market place" is not an option. Added to that, Amazon has a policy of requring market place participants to list ALL products in their catalogs, this means that if you're a multi-channel seller, and you don't want to expose your best sellers to Amazon they can delist your items (and they DO enforce this policy).
mxstbr, I just want to sound one comment: the seamless way that 'max stoiber' transitions to the "<mxstbr>" "logo" when scrolling down, the smoothness of the metamorphosis, is really impressive. Lots of sites do this type of thing, but for some reason they all suck. Yours doesn't. Great job.

Except that the direction we were moving wasn't one branch that was much better, it feels like it was no improved branches at all.

vim7 was a great improvement, and when I show people the time travel capabilities it blows their minds. But that was a long time ago. With the number of people to whom vim is very important, I'm surprised there isn't more results coming out of it.

Though maybe it is mostly that the core doesn't need to change and innovation can happen in the plugins? That is certainly true to some extent, but the async stuff was way overdue.

David Mackay's "Sustainable Energy - Without the Hot Air" has good numbers comparing many different forms of energy storage:

As a rights owner, it's infuriating how difficult it is to get Amazon to remove counterfeit products. They are asking us to buy the counterfeit products first to ensure they aren't authorized, despite us telling them we only have one authorized manufacturer / distributor. The only way to communicate to them is through a generic form where you also have to copy / paste ASIN and click boxes for every single item.

To my surprise, it is far easier to get our counterfeits removed from Alibaba than Amazon. You get a checkbox on the product list where you can simply check the box, then "report selected".

That is one very annoying aspect of Amazon's media services that I discovered when I configured my Echo with the linked account that doesn't have the prime media entitlement. I would have been a-okay with it only allowing one account at a time to play music but not even that. So you either have to pony up for two payments or share and that has its own set of annoyances. Least of which is our generally very different taste in music. Thankfully they added Spotify support not long after so the problem resolved itself.
The problem is that people take the accidents as reasons to retreat into pre-scientific beliefs in gods and goblins. One step forward, two steps back is still a step back.
Worth it - both excellent resources.
I didn't downvote you, but your comment is irrelevant. The claim is not that taobao has listings duping customers, who receive counterfeit items when expecting licensed ones. It's that customers are knowingly able to buy counterfeit items. In some cases, sellers of counterfeit goods in China even offer different quality options for the same product, which the original brands do not.

I live in NYC with extensive high-speed mass transit (in our case parallel lines of express which skip multiple stops as well as local) which is faster than car during much of the day.

Part of combatting greenhouse gasses and climate change is making quality mass transit -- high speed subway and rail that doesn't get stuck in traffic.

The NYC subways (not counting busses) have 6 million trips per business day, essentially providing 1% of the nation's population with round trips. Yet, despite providing a green solution the system is vastly underfunded. The same seems to be true of Wash DC subway and Boston subway.

Much (most?) of the electricity that runs the NYC subway is from hydroelectric from Quebec Province in Canada thus a really green solution.
And yet it is actually extremely content-rich, with a very good signal-to-noise ratio. For a free product whose only monetization scheme appears to be dev job ads and clearly-marked sponsored technical posts, it is really quite useful to have in my inbox every week. I also find myself browsing the archives not infrequently, and the generally no-frills UI makes it much easier to use for that purpose than most fancy custom content UIs. HTTP+HTML are already _quite good_ for browsing hyperlinked textual content.
If you had clicked the link, you would understand why that's not the case.
Why is there no way around this? This is surprising to me and I'm super curious.

The scenarios are the same.

Actually you are right: they aren't the same because the nuclear incident has a better outcome.

What is stopping me from buying one of their (real) products, not wanting it anymore, and then selling it myself on Amazon or eBay? Surely you're not saying that it becomes counterfeit just because the manufacturer doesn't want me to sell it?

I agree to a certain extent. I think it would mostly be useful in developing areas where you might have someone who has training to make simple diagnostic calls (should this person be put on a 2 day bus ride to a hospital), but doesn't have the tools to make the diagnosis.

Basically, places where buying $10k of diagnostic tools wouldn't be tenable, either because of the price, or because they would get stolen or damaged before they could "pay off".

Places where I think this might be useful are places like Nepal, Sudan, Pakistan, India, Niger, Mongolia, etc. Places that have low development and population densities.

I think a DIY instrument would be especially useful in India, given the fact that it has low development levels but a lot of highly educated individuals and a strong central government.

That being said, this is all speculation. I don't know enough about ANY of those areas to say whether people there would actually find tools like this useful. I'm definitely not suggesting we start filling shipping containers with cheap instruments and shipping them abroad.

So I _do_ like Rust for other reasons, or at least, I did initially. My opinion has changed over time. I used to say "I'd never write web application in Rust," but soon, I'd prefer it slightly. Needs some more libraries to come out, and they're close...

There's two sides to "is the flipside true"? One is, there's a huge variety of static type systems. Some of them are more flexible than others. So for example, if I had to use Java 1.4, or even Java 1.5 (which are very old, but were two releases I am very familiar with), I'd wish I was back in Ruby. This is because it's _too_ rigid; I can't express enough things in the type system to make up for the lack of flexibility. In a language with a better type system (and Java itself has a better one today, even), it changes the value of the equation.

In Rust though, there's another axis: speed, memory usage, stuff like that. I don't miss Ruby's flexibility here, because even basic operations in Ruby are _so so so_ much more expensive than in Rust. So when I think "oh yeah, I could do that, but if I think about how Ruby does it under the hood... it's not worth the cost." This makes me miss Ruby less as well.

Ruby is an excellent language, and I will always love working with it. But there's only so many hours in the day, and I've spent so much time with it already...

>It is emotional processing that goes undeveloped until the late 20's

Emotion tends to trump cold hard logic -- especially in the young. Actually, hell, not just the young! I'm almost 30 and can't do any meaningful thinking if I'm emotionally upset about something.

I'm just saying, I'm not sure how much value I'd place on the logic of a 16 year old in something as emotionally charged as politics.

I couldn't disagree more. A consistent user experience is great, if I order a product from Amazon (Amazon proper, not 3rd party) I know it will get here fast, there won't be any crazy shipping fees, that I can return it easily if I don't like it, etc etc.
(I removed the downvote kvetching; sorry.)

Taobao listings are peer to peer (somewhat anyway; it's also partly like Amazon retailers). So it's other users that are intentionally duping buyers, not Taobao directly. It's possible (likely?) that Taobao is complicit and turning a blind eye. But it's also difficult for them to address in any meaningful way; how are they supposed to obtain the necessary expertise...?

We know for a fact that other P2P marketplaces (eg. eBay) do care and have spent an insane amount of resources to combat the problem (or been litigated by brands) -- and yet they haven't been able to crack authentication at scale. Our tool addresses that problem.

It is relevant... because it is part of the solution to this problem: How can you authenticate brand-name items in a resale market.

(Worth noting: The brands aren't motivated to help in the resale market. They want everyone to buy new and reap 1000% markup... which is why they crack down on counterfeits.)

Encryption Working Group Year-End Report [pdf]
Consultant-for-hire: "the propaganda is true; i found evidence"

The claims are not believable on their face, given that it's a security firm hired by the DNC. They describe evidence, but it's hard to independently evaluate that evidence as a neutral third party.

And even if they are true, and Russia did hack the DNC in order to influence the election? Then the american people had more evidence upon which to base their vote.

I am incredibly unhappy with Trump, but the "russian manipulation" cry is meaningless without

1) evidence that the information they propagated was untrue (indeed: it seems most damning precisely because it is true)

or

2) that the russians somehow manipulated the actual mechanics of the vote, so that the tallies ended up being counted incorrectly.

Because if it's just an antagonistic despot publicizing true facts and having the american public weigh those facts? That's called democracy.

Let me reiterate: I'm extremely unhappy with how it played out, but you can't credibly criticize it.

Having said that: somebody (maybe a russian) did hack a computer system. Prosecute them criminally (the same way you would the watergate burglars).

That means there's still food in their bowls in the morning. It took them a few weeks to get used to it, but now we don't get woken up by the cats anymore. Well, they still jump on the bed and want a cuddle, but no more annoying crying for food.
