One thing a lot of people don't realize about the modern concept of the "social contract" is that it depends on the capacity to exit, which requires the existence of the frontier. John Locke's idea of government wasn't just influential to the development of the United States, it was openly influenced by the existence of America; he wrote a lot about how the "state of nature" that exists independent of government was the American frontier (he didn't care much for/about Native Americans.) Now, the idea that a government is a social contract between citizens and rulers is universal, but we've eliminated its original foundation: an empty space citizens can settle when they decide their government is worse than nothing.

There's no easy solution to this problem. We're out of unclaimed land (seasteading and Mars colonization wouldn't really resolve it, even if they were more plausible.) I don't think Srinivasan has a great concept of why nations work; the problem with a Silicon Valley exit is less that Silicon Valley doesn't have aircraft carriers, and more that it doesn't have, you know, farmland, and I don't think the opt-in society would be allowed: Silicon Valley is rich and prosperous because of the large pool of mainly American consumers it sells to, and it is protected by the auspices of the US government. If they really wanted to leave, they wouldn't be able to take the money-making with them, as the US has no incentive to protect the businesses of a foreign power. I actually think that instead of getting more and more small countries as time goes on, we'll get increasing large blocs caring for things like defense and very general welfare, and increasingly small, atomized communities, either geographically or online, caring for other needs. If we have a large United States government that takes care of the nuclear weapons stockpile, coordinates response to natural disasters, and makes sure people don't die for arbitrary reasons, smaller communities can tax, spend, negotiate as they will. And I expect these communities will increasingly go online; online, Locke's dream can be realized, as there really is infinite space to colonize (if you don't like your current forum, go found a new one.) As long as people have a basic level of security, they'll be free to self-organize and explore new models of society in a virtual world. I can't tell if this vision of the future is utopian or dystopian.
This article doesn't mention the most significant fallout of the IPFS idea (imo), which is that of .nar deduplication, as detailed in the issue https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/859 (point 4).

Perhaps a nail in the coffin of one of Nix's biggest absurdities.
IIRC DuckDuckGo might do something like that for search suggestions. For slightly improved privacy, lots of unrelated hosts can be grouped into blocks (maybe grouped by probability of access to make it harder to infer which domain from the block is the likely target).

> You might want to re-read my post more carefully, there is not necessarily an attacker per-se in an availability incident (although there certainly could be. Depends on how evil one wants to think.).

Well, that was the context of this thread. Both the OP and konklone are talking about attack surface. If you want to talk about how running a service via TLS and using HSTS makes HA harder, that's a different discussion.

> Backhoe eats the fiber to the ocsp responder and CRL distribution point, CRLs timeout after 24 hours.

OCSP and CRL is soft-fail by default in all browser I'm aware of. The server is also in control of it via OCSP Stapling, so it has all the tools it needs to keep the server available, assuming proper configuration and monitoring (which is true for a HTTP service as well).

This has been explained over and over. Those boundaries in python2 are very easy to get wrong and the runtime will not warn you, which means you won't know about them until some crap data comes down the wire and code chokes or (worse) silently corrupts data. In py3 you are forced to explicitly Do The Right Thing, so entire classes of bugs are just Not Possible.

It shouldn't take 8 years to understand this issue, and I'm positive you do understand it because you're an intelligent person, so please don't troll about it.

Wow, is most of that the cost to import in small volume? They aren't super popular in the US, either, but you can get a basic model (with seat warmer) that attaches to an existing "normal" toilet for around $400 from Toto.
RE: "Clarity of Thought and Communication" — I have worked at a couple of places that put a lot of effort into internal communications, selling employees on upcoming product changes they'll be working on, but failed to acknowledge the existing significant problems that everyone saw and that were repeatedly punted on. Being able to give a slick pitch is not sufficient for this leadership criterion; the narrative must be "credible" (as mentioned rather briefly in the article). Is it just me, or do other people find themselves frustrated at internal messaging that is self-consistent but not grounded in reality?

Yes, from previous reports it was already pretty clear that the driver was asleep at the wheel (literally or otherwise). The car is not supposed to allow this; it's supposed to check for hands-on-steering-wheel and other indicators of driver attention. It would have been nice to find out how that system broke down in this case.

It's not; it's not even close. Every message you send, message by message, HTTP request by HTTP request, depends entirely on the security of Protonmail's servers and relies on PGP, which leaks extensive metadata and has no forward secrecy. Not only that, but because you're using SMTP email, you're always one mistake away from accidentally sending plaintext.

The good secure messaging services --- particularly Signal --- make these things impossible to screw up.

Don't use email for secrets.
I think this is the way that Neural Networks achieve some modicum of generality - chaining them together.

Let's say you have a robot that you want to grab a can of beer off the counter. You say "grab that beer" and point to it. The first neural network interprets the speech and visual input. A second neural network chooses the proper neural nets to continue the task based on the information interpreted from the first net - it picks one for walking and one for grabbing.
> It's not just about readability, it's about making a contract with the user. If you typedef a complex struct in your library you're telling your users to treat this type like it's a black-box and not look inside because the next version of the library might contain something different and your code will break if you depend on it.

No need to use typedef, just use an opaque struct if you want something to behave like a blackbox.
Whoa there, let's not go overboard. Implementing a decadal cadence for switching would require budgeting for about a year of reduced earnings while you build competency in the new platform/language/ecosystem (and the associated client base).

Ah.

One thing interesting that just now popped out at me while looking at the page for the "Happiness Index". In most ordinary lists, you wouldn't have any graphic, but Wikipedia has put the countries flag as an icon next to the text. Eight of the top ten happiest countries has a flag with a cross in it. The two outliers are Canada and the Netherlands. Apparently the Canadian flag had St. Georges cross on it until 1957.

Composer David Lowe breaks down the BBC News theme
Everything needs balance of course. The problem is that so many people are afraid of the consequences for not being PC enough that conversation just shuts down and everyone goes back into their groups. Sensitivity to a joke can be for everything, from racial attacks to attacking language functional purity. I think when it comes to black people specifically, there is a legacy and history of oppression, so that warrants some sensitivity for certain jokes (hanging from trees, etc.), but as an islander, I don't get too offended when people make silly jokes about it. The importance is that there is, as GP says, an underlying level of respect.

Not that I haven't been in company where I don't feel there is that level of respect, I've been around perfectly PC squeaky clean people who with nicer words and actions motion their lack of respect. A joke is less of a threat to me than a person who fundamentally doesn't respect me as a person.

PC-ness is all about hiding the symptoms and not addressing the cause, and at least in some cases has hurt those who work for social justice.

Adding visual regression testing to Sidekiq with Percy.io
Almost.

The difference is time, so the populations involved are 'the people that used the site last month' and 'the people that used the site last week'. Usually your assumption is that these are comparable, but that's not necessarily true. Furthermore, the effect is only meaningful if that assumption is true, for most business cases (i.e. you want this effect to hold in the future).

In practice, a lot of effects do disappear when you repeat a test because there was some unaccounted for factor that varied between them. It's a good sanity check.

But you're right, much of the purpose is to discover mean regression. This is something that happens more often than you'd expect because you tend to be focusing large effects, many of which will simply be due to chance.
>I am not sure why mortgage interest deduction gets such a bad rap. It allows a lot of people to be able to afford homes which they couldn't otherwise. It helps the housing market/industry and banking industry.

No, it doesn't. The prospect of getting the deduction drives up demand for home purchases and therefore the price (relative to income). If we got rid of it, the same mortgage would take more money out of your income, but you would need a smaller mortgage to get any home.

(The effects don't exactly cancel, of course, but it's not some big dealbreaker like you suggest.)

In addition, it's not unreasonable to make this kind of distinction, between:

1) Free money for failing/misfortune/doing nothing (welfare policies)

vs

2) "Free" money that you have to earn through positive work somehow. (production subsidies, government jobs, innovation awards)

Food stamps and the interest deduction are the same, in being intended as subsidies, but for the the second you at least have to be productive, earning an income, approved for a house, make all the necessary commitments, etc, and then you get some of it defrayed.

That's not to say the distinction is justified, but it shouldn't be hard to at least understand why people would put them in a different bucket.

As a sole developer who recently released my first mobile app, I can't comment on your specific use case or generalize about the market as a whole, since I don't have significant experience. That said, I chose to use React Native and release to both iOS and Android. After three months without doing any serious spending on marketing, my iOS version had an order of magnitude higher installs than my Android version. I suspect this may derive from differences between Apple and Google's search ranking algorithms. It's a moot point for me, since React Native supports both platforms, but the single data point may help you.
How Discord Stores Billions of Messages Using Cassandra
Yes of course but transitioning to a female doesn't increase the chance of release but does increase the short, medium and long term difficulties of being incarcerated. By your reasoning we should see him/her start to transition back to male after his release (say within 18 months) I'm happy to make a wager on that not happening, nothing silly but perhaps $25 to the charity of the winners choice?

the military's duty is to prepare its soldiers for war, which isn't a particularly "sane environment". It seems logical to break down a recruit's sense of self and rebuild it in a manner that emphasizes the interests of the group over the individual. I'm shocked that the Army let someone with this kind of "me first" syndrome rise up the ranks high enough to be near sensitive material.

My other thoughts on the case are that her 37 year sentence was draconian, and the solitary and mind-tricks they played on her in prison were cruel and unusual. And that overall we are better off having the collateral murder video so the war can be seen for what it is. Not sure if there was any value in leaking the diplomatic cables, though.
I don't know, luckily I nerver had to work as a soldier.

But I read some stories about soldiers getting medals for progarmming stuff, when they were deployed somewhere. So it seems the stuff you learn in basic training doesn't necessarily determine the value you got for the army you serve for.
I don't actually care which future will be realized, I just want the better experience. I just don't see how a one-company-does-all can possibly win out over a free market of competition between companies and developers on an open platform.

On the other hand, if WeChat eventually opens up its "app" to other developers and companies, then it will effectively become the operating system and platform. At which point (1) this is "isomorphic" our current system and offers exactly zero advantages (we are just changing where we place the label "operating system") (2) it will be competing with iOS and Android, not with other apps (3) they will have to release a phone that runs the WeChat OS

Keto can result in (somewhat) worse performance depending on how professional you're trying to be and what activity you're doing, but most people aren't trying to compete at that level and they can work out while on a keto diet.

Also, some people up their carb intake a little before their workout, so it'll burn off and they'll still be in keto afterwards while not risking performance loss.

Finally, you don't double your protein intake on keto, you replace your carb intake with fat, so you wouldn't be at 2g/kg/day danger levels you're suggesting if you're doing the diet properly.
Yes. Part of the reason seemingly simple CSV are a pain is because it's often malform, badly formatted, with odd encodings in the file. We take care of that for you, so you can fix it or throw it out.
I agree with you if youre saying we should acknowledge that bad luck can trump effort, but i don't agree this is a healthy attitude to carry over in your day to day life.

It was called called "Startup Engineering" [1]. This course doesn't exist on coursera anymore, there's a similar syllabus on Stanford's website [2]. The project was something about building a small web app with node.js and accepting enabling donations via bitcoin payment.

For a more modern game, yeah, but StarCraft 1 is just in a league of its own, specifically vanilla (the Valkyrie and devourer feel a little off-key, along with some of the BW textures). The feel of every unit, texture, and doodad and even the sound design in vanilla is just perfect.

Well, while I only work on the Android client, the solution currently in use is a large codebase of code specifically written for this single purpose. In C++. Compiled natively. That’s the main reason why good performance with the system is even possible.

A huge performance boost (reconnection times down from ~2 minutes to ~12 seconds on 64kbps 2G network, using a Nexus 5X) could be accomplished by using Java NIO with non-copying IO for parsing the custom binary protocol, but we’re looking into using flat protobufs for improving performance further.

But then the database layer becomes the bottleneck. SQLite is far too slow to be normally usable, most users use PostgreSQL for the backing database.

Basically, the trick is in "don’t use JSON and JS, do stuff with native code and binary protocols to reduce overhead".

But this makes maintenance basically impossible, and isn’t really ideal either.

Also, while the 2001 recession meant that the airline industry lost more money then they had made in profit from the Wright Brothers up to that point, since then they have become net positive again, which seems to have been largely from mergers reducing capacity and so driving down supply.

When comparing programming languages, it is extremely common for people to mistake familiarity for other things like "clarity" and "simplicity". When looking at code with unfamiliar conventions, they often proclaim tremendously simple, clear code to be "complicated" because it is not what they are accustomed to --even when an equivalent implementation in their fav language would be much more obtuse.
