As one example, a neighbor works for the state gov't. The state gov't pushed all their employees onto the exchange. They now pay quite a bit more in premiums and their deductibles are way higher. They've had to go from a good PPO plan to an HMO plan with greatly diminished value. They're completely against the wall because of this.
Why not both? For the money we waste destabilizing the middle east we could build a small city on the moon and still have money left over.

They also tend to pool and share resources, so an expensive piece of equipment isn't purchased by every farmer in an area, but shared between them. What we'd call a more modern farm has enormous redundancy in equipment ownership in the same local area, which makes it really hard for them to get into a profitable state.
They're quite a bit older than this, assuming you're thinking of the British examples. The last Mark 3 coach was made in 1988, and the Mark 4s have sliding plug power doors.

It was still an odd design decision, though. There had been electric doors on BR multiple units since the 70s.
They likely recycle the disks rather than sell them. I'd imagine that reclaiming the materials is cheaper with intact disks compared to shredding.
Definitely an issue. Chrome has already changed the SSL indicator to just read "secure" rather than naming the cert.
But these are very spread out cities so if you fly (or take a hypothetical train) you now need to rent a car at the other end. I was in Dallas a while back and basically couldn't walk to a restaurant a mile away because there was no sidewalk.

I would ask: if DV is an acceptable weaker alternative to EV then why do we need certificates at all? Why doesn't anyone allow HTTPS without a certificate- it would allow you to establish you are talking to the same server you thought you were 5 seconds ago. The reason, of course, is: that certificate-less HTTPS and DV are pretty much useless and huge net-negatives as they are confusing and imitate stronger certifications.
Do any of the browsers try to differentiate EV and DV?

You should see some videos of Amish woodworking shops. They have every tool that a modern woodworking shop would have: table saw, bandsaw, drill press, rotary sanders, etc.

In addition, every train I have been on is more comfortable than any but the most expensive airline fares.
When I worked for a Wal-Mart in Indiana in the 90s, the Amish would come into the electronics department and buy country music cassettes and battery-powered players. And also, I kid you not, Gameboys.

Rethinking URL bars – Protecting against malicious phishing URLs
Agree, it makes sense for the ones who are from these schools AND have family/friend leverage to get right into a position of power they shouldn't get, out of school or soon. They guys definitely stay in France.

However, if you're from these schools but have nothing except your hard work to sell, you're better off in UK/USA (and your alumni network definitely extends there)... but you're likely a Parisian with friends/family/housing in Paris, so there are strong incentives to stay in the place you already are. Your school name alone will afford you a career decent enough for little effort.

For someone from any other school who ain't Parisian, there is no incentive to emigrate to Paris. The opportunities are much better in the UK/USA to the point of insanity, and it may even be easier logistically (it was for me).

For an European. Why the hell would he go to Paris? It's not even worth if for French people who ain't already in Paris.
Th tragedy is that we didn't continue the expansion of our species off a single planet. Yes, we learned a lot from the Apollo program and later space programs but without more projects like Apollo we won't continue doing so.
Looks like we're pretty much at the 5th percentile :-(
How little we did?

Society has accomplished a ton due to the space race. Furthermore, just because we haven't put humans anywhere doesn't mean we haven't explored anywhere. We have a robot on Mars, had a robot on Venus. We have ships nearing the end of our solar system and sending data back. We have learned tons, and keep learning tons, and have used all of this knowledge to make life on earth better. GPS alone is worth it, let alone everything we've done.

Putting more men on the moon does us absolutely no good besides letting a country puff its chest out more.
I believe this is correct. I recently setup an adword for the first time, and remember being confused/shocked that I could specify whatever I wanted for the display URL, which had no bearing on the linked URL.

I don't think humans being effectively modern mules is a good thing. If robots are better than humans at something, we should generally let robots do that thing. It would be more human labor hours to use screwdrivers for things, but we use power drills where applicable because power drills are better.

Now, there are things we have also started letting robots do that they are not better at doing than humans, mind you. I think Google has demonstrated how colossally bad algorithms are at providing customer service, for example. I could definitely see this model making it more palatable for companies to get rid of the reviled automated answering systems and similar processes, and put humans back in the customer service field, in particular.

I am concerned about enabling the former, I would like to enable the latter.
Also not mentioned are potentially unforeseen implications of deeming a thing to be a person. We've seen in the United States that considering corporations to be persons in some contexts [0] has had significant ramifications.

What might follow from deeming "robots" (whatever they are, exactly) to be electronic persons?

If robots can have liability for damages they cause, does this in turn exempt their owner from liability? Can an electronic person even have an owner? Can the hundred million nanorobot I just stamped out all make political contributions to some preferred candidate (naturally the one most in favor or robot liberation)? Can they vote?

Probably because most people are incapable of documenting that their work occurred off-hours and without company resources. And even if they are, their employer can still tie them up in litigation if the company ever takes off.

Working contract jobs to support your startup aspirations can make sense, but working as an FTE is pretty risky.
The effort one has to put into getting a physics degree seems to me comparable to that of becoming a physician (a medical doctor), and it pains me to see all that effort wasted. Some argue that it is the acquired skill in solving problems that matters, but, having seen physicists and mathematicians (and even "computer scientists") by training trying to solve software engineering problems, I have to disagree. Likewise, from what I have also observed, problem solving skills of a good software engineer may not be by themselves all that useful when trying to tackle problems in physics and mathematics.
I tried Webpack 2, and it still seems relatively insane to me. After switching over to Rollup my life has gotten a lot easier. It isn't quite as feature packed, but I'm glad to be done with importing a .css file in my .js file then having to specify a plugin to pull it back out again.

By the looks of it, I could just throw at it some response that is massive and it would still attempt to grab it?

If this is really being just run as a proxy setup, the jsonbrowse-proxy might not need the isomorphic-fetch lib, in which case you can just use the embedded node-fetch instead, which has max response size and timeout options available.
Why is DV useless? DV asserts that you are securely talking to whomever controls that domain. That's very valuable. If they're confusing, that's on the browsers.

Edit: You also cannot just discard certificates and use HTTPS as an "I'm talking to the same server I was 5 seconds ago", because that does literally nothing to prevent MitM attacks. If you can't assert that you're talking securely to the domain owner, then there's nothing at all stopping someone in a privileged network position from intercepting and altering your traffic, because they could simply proxy it through their own server.

What would be the reason to go back to the moon? I'm not being sarcastic either, I'm genuinely curious why.

To me, it just seemed like landing on the moon was more important than what we could learn from it, or possibly use it as a remote scientific base or something else. It was the idea of simply getting their that seemed the most important. I never thought we had any long term plans for the moon, so it would seem we've already accomplished what we wanted to do.
I disagree. Putting men back on the moon would require developing technology we don't currently possess and it would serve as a stepping stone to further exploration. Yes, we accomplished a ton due to the space race, so why would we not continue doing that?
Well I'm looking on a 100+ year timeline.

But I do think a machine that does a portion of this work, such as growing food, is totally possible with today's tools.
Yes. This website has a DV cert, so in Firefox it has the green lock icon but nothing else. By contrast, if you go to twitter.com, which has an EV cert, you'll see "Twitter, Inc. (US)" in green text next to the lock icon, because that's the legal entity that the EV cert was issued for.

I think Chrome used to do this too, but it doesn't for me right now; I'm not sure why.
I'm ignorant on the subject, how can hundred/thousands messages per minute be a real use case? I would expect such massive amount to be parsed by robots, not humans, and in that case why use IRC at all instead of a queue system like RabbitMQ?

Can you find a single practicing cryptographic engineer who will go on the record as saying that PGP (in any of its incarnations) and email is better than Signal Protocol for message encryption?

I'm not blaming it on the developer. I acknowledge that we should improve here.

I'm merely pointing out that this is not always an issue when programming in Rust, just mostly for newcomers, which means that if you're willing to bear with it for a while whilst learning it won't be a problem later. This isn't an ideal situation and is one we should fix. But it's not as bad as a problem that plagues you whenever you are writing Rust code.

True enough, and new info to me!

Saturn V remains the tallest, heaviest, and most powerful (highest total impulse) rocket ever brought to operational status, and holds records for the heaviest payload launched and largest payload capacity to low Earth orbit (LEO) of 140,000 kg (310,000 lb).

To date, the Saturn V remains the only launch vehicle to launch missions to carry humans beyond low Earth orbit. A total of 15 flight-capable vehicles were built, but only 13 were flown. An additional three vehicles were built for ground testing purposes. [0]

So why aren't we just building more of these damn things and iterating on the (proven!) design? While we're at it let's un-mothball the SR-71 and those wicked Buick start carts! [1]

"Are you motivated by the prospect of getting rich?" ... " These are perfectly normal human emotions but horrible reasons on their own to start a business."

Being motivated to get rich is an extremely good reason to start a business. In fact it's one of the few reasons to do so. It's very difficult to get rich if you don't own generative assets (short of being a radiologist and plowing your after taxes/expenses salary into a bank account for 20 years). There are three ways to do it: acquire ownership in a business, either privately or in the public markets; buy assets such as real estate and turn it over at a profit; start a business. The theme of nearly all wealth in the developed world, is ownership. One of the best ways to guarantee you get a shot at that sort of outcome is by starting a business. I grew up in a poor area and knew several millionaires, they were all self-made small business owners.

Being motivated to be rich, is not the same as defining your business around or by that premise, which is what the author is confusing.
Does it really matter what we've done? We're both just rationalizing our positions ;)
It's very unfortunate there isn't a way to force more responsibility/accountability onto CAs who issue phishing certificates.

Of course, the non-internet version of a CA, credit rating agencies, do not behave any better with the trust given to them by the public.

Maybe the creators of the Bitcoin alt coin "namecoin" had the right idea.
That's a ridiculous attitude. You could use the same logic to say we should ignore our problems with income inequality until we solve global warming, or vice versa. It turns out there are billions of people on earth with a wide variety of skills and we can do a lot in parallel.

At its peak NASA used 4.41% of the federal budget. In 2014 it was 0.5%. We can afford to do more and as we know from experience the payoff is worth the expense.
We _are_ making progress in space exploration but the moon isn't of much interest anymore. The technology that is being developed to reach Mars for example is "technology we don't currently posses."

Maryland. The group plan prices aren't much different than the exchange. I see the full cost of my group plan with my employer. This year that price is better than the exchange and the plan is better, but not last year.

My point would be that the ACA is a fail on this basis alone. They need to end the Depression era idea of employer provided health insurance (introduced to work around the wage controls imposed by FDR) and just let people buy it on their own. They need to move the tax writeoff from the employer to the employee. This whole notion that splitting up the single group that is the US market into smaller 'groups', and that this somehow increases buying power - it's ridiculous. We've been going down this path for 70 years - it's time to try something different.
Show HN: Next.js and Apollo Example – Universally render your GraphQL app
The big reason that cert's are as unused as they have been for two decades is because of the stupid desire to incorporate identity along with encryption.

They've both useful- they've more useful together, and they're expensive and not used everywhere because of the identity problem.

This is just going to have to be accepted (for a while?) to get proper encryption.

Pointing out that this can happen is neither useful or news, and perpetuates this nonsense that's been holding us back.

It's initially quite intuitive and makes sense. But as you use the language more you start questioning why it doesn't make sense and you eventually have to learn how rvalues work.

Effective Education
We need certificates because network traffic can be redirected. For example, once you've saved a bookmark to https://example.com, the certificate ensures that clicking on the link connects you to a server that has the private key for example.com.

That's worth something. But as the article points out, it doesn't help if you started out with the wrong domain name. (How do you get the bookmark in the first place?)
> Are these supposed to make a profit? Isn't this a state-run project, like highways?

Yes, high-speed rail could be worthwhile even if it doesn't make a profit. I haven't seen any figures about high-speed rail so it may be a good investment. But in general I think China's investment boom is bad in the long term. By taking on so much debt to fund projects that have little economic return China is setting itself up for a lost decade or two like Japan.

> Aren't the debts covered by the state anyways, via taxes?

Yes, the debt is effectively passed on to taxpayers.

> Also, economic justifications are broad concepts.. how would it compare against a country like the US that has oil and people can therefore drive cars for cheap, whereas China doesn't have oil?

Sure, you need to look at the economy as a whole and the cost of energy is a factor. But that would include the cost of coal-fired power to run the trains - including costs of pollution.

> Is high-speed rail a more economically efficient system than cars?

China already had slow-speed trains and fast airplanes. So the better comparison is between (a) upgrading the capacity of the existing rail and airport systems; (b) building an entirely new rail network.

‘Green-eyed girl’ Sharbat Gula in quest for new life
This plan doesn't force businesses to use humans instead of machines. If there's a job that ought to be done by a robot for the best result, competition will still ensure that's what's done.

This just gives humans a leg up when competing on price.
Author here.

An important distinction between China and The Machine is that a group of people can purchase and wholly own The Machine.

If you can't purchase it, you have to agree to the social contract offered by those who do. For us that means we have to accept the state of the labor conditions in Bangladesh for example, which I would rather not do.

This is a classic problem with capitalism.

If a group of people can purchase The Machine then they can decide for themselves what they are willing to accept. And in general if survival is automated and the knowledge for how to reproduce this is free, we're way less likely to see people in far off places being exploited for manual labor.

>> there appears to be a lot of uncertainty in the scientific community regarding the precise chronology and source populations of migrations.

Studied quite a bit of Antropology/Physical Anthropology in college and nearly every ancient migration is fought with a mix of facts and conjecture, theories and speculation.

The most baffling I ran into was that of the South Pacific islands. The archaeological evidence doesn't support a neat and tidy expansion, but quite the opposite. You have evidence that cultures were popping up and then dying out without any distinct patterns to them at all. When you consider the distances between the islands and the isolation of the various archipelagos, it really makes your brain bend.

My professor Jeffery Clark has done some fascinating work in the field:

I'm not sure I understand. Even if rail were cheaper to get from, say, Boston to Charlotte, you'd then almost certainly have to rent a car for that vacation so it's hard to see a train being an economical option for most families.

And Amtrak does offer an auto train though from Virginia to Florida.

I like the train but I don't assume it's a particularly economic option.
