I loved that program when it first came out because of the episode that mentioned vitrified forts - which are still (AFAIK) a complete mystery:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitrified_fort

I also love the account of the meeting that Clarke, C.S. Lewis and Tolkien had in a pub:

"An extensive correspondence with Dr. Lewis led to the a meeting in a famous Oxford pub, the Eastgate. Seconding me was my friend, Val Cleaver, a space buff from way back (and now chief engineer of the Rolls Royce Rocket Division). Supporting Lewis was Professor J. R. R. Tolkien, whose trilogy, The Lord of the Rings created a considerable stir a few years ago. Needless to say, neither side converted the other, and we refused to abandon our diabolical schemes of interplanetary conquest. But a fine time was had by all, and when, some hours later, we emerged a little unsteadily from the Eastgate, Dr. Lewis’s parting words were "I’m sure you are very wicked people – but how dull it would be if everyone was good."
I've found journaling on paper to be one of the best morning rituals for calming anxiety. It really is amazing how just writing a few sentences creates a sense of awareness of what's going on in your head.

I also tried bullet journaling as my 'system', but quickly abandoned it. It is great if you're not a compulsive to-do list maker, but if you follow a GTD-like system where you frequently capture, it becomes onerous to answer the question 'what do I do next?' You either have to constantly flip through pages to review your full list, or regularly copy your to-dos to a master list, which becomes quite tedious, especially if you have a long list.

What works for me is using org mode as my to-do system, with paper for the brainstorming and planning. I always start with paper, then once I have clarity on what to do, I move it to org.
This is a big problem. If I try to paste something on my iPhone, my iPhone pauses for 5 - 10 seconds while it fetches the clipboard.
Plus apps being able to read it with no user action is not acceptable to me. I don't like that Facebook can or that Facebook does read my clipboard to every time I start it up.
I keep reading things like this, in the whole AA-style all-or-nothing abstinence approach. Is taking a month completely disconnected really going to help, in the long term? Or is it like an alcoholic giving up the booze for Lent and then binging again straight afterwards?

Surely just control yourself a bit? Isn't it obvious that the whole freemium mobile gaming model is designed to eat your time and money? As the author pointed out, a paid-for game with an actual endpoint is a much better way to satisfy your gaming urges without getting your life robbed from you.

As for checking your phone in bed, if that's such a problem just leave it in another room.

If you're always checking FB on your phone, delete the app. You don't have to delete the account: I stay in touch with lots of people on FB, but I only use it via a browser on a computer. That way I can't check it while crossing the street, but is it really so urgent? I'd rather look where I'm going.
It can fail both ways:

On the one hand you may not install an update because the app wants more permissions than you consider acceptable.

On the other hand you may not install the app at all if it asks for too many permissions during the initial install.
Nice idea but the left-click when I target a word don't work (Chrome, Windows 8.1).

Yeah, my wife's said similar to me in the past.

Of course, you can't argue when they're pregnant. My wife's 8 months pregnant with twins at the moment; I think she's probably at the point of admitting defeat but she's so enormous now people dive off their seats from a mile away anyway.

Not a hope in hell of getting her to pay £4 for this, or of anyone in a seat having the app I'd imagine either.

I was impressed by the numbers of some of the top gatherings. The shared record is for two religious events at ~30 million people in India and Iraq.

That's minor PR event which likely purpose is to send some message to the West, while also delivering some "good news" to the audience of state TV.

I think the lax incompetence is the thing causing most alarm.
Does that mean an app can, by default, override your wifi or Bluetooth setting to say, phone home for example?
Analogy.

This is a problem in telecommunications as well. You broadcast a strong signal and foreign stations pick up your message. A solution is to use spread-spectrum and go below the margin of spectral noise.

In this case, random, small transactions much less than the threshold for scrutiny.
Something like 60% of the people only do transfers over 10'000 Euro once a year or less.

Most people earn far less, and only ever transfer such large amounts when they buy a car.
Could you explain why you say that about the PC? As far as I know, the browser isn't going to let someone snatch your clipboard info. An application running locally, sure, but an application running locally could also be doing keylogging, I'd think.

This is the way it's always worked on iOS and what it boils down to is that people can deliberately make shitty apps if they want.
While I agree it's not a high amount claiming that accounts to "basically tracking everybody" is ludicrous. Someone billing 10k Euro a month would easily be in the top 10% earners pretty much everywhere.

E.g. in the UK, assuming thats 10k of income before tax would place you in the 97th percentile [1]. Even half that would place you in the 90th percentile.

Most people never transfer amounts higher than that other than as part of e.g. a house or car purchase.

[1] https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/percentile-points-f...
One useful rule of thumb that works 99% of the time in C++11 is:

Never use "std::move"

It's really just there to allow fancy optimisations and you don't need it in most cases.
You should rely on the sane defaults instead:

- Putting variables on the stack to manage object ownership/lifetime is a good default.

- Use std::unique_ptr or std::shared_ptr() for heap ownership (single ownership vs. shared)

- For a non-owning (mutable) reference, use const & (&) or const * (*) when the value may not exist.

- Always prefer passing by value (return types and parameters)

- If a parameter type is heavy, take a (const) reference.

- If the return type is heavy, the compiler's RVO will do its job.

No need to be more fancy than this

That makes sense. But in that case, it's bizarre to put 1-star recommendations in the "Top Picks For You" section. Feels like that section should be exclusively 4 & 5 star picks, no?

A while back you could query the apps currently active on iOS and there was a big scandal that Twitter was doing it, being reported by the media as a secret vulnerability, which was bullshit since that "vulnerability" was fairly well known already and in use by ad platforms. And at a previous company we used it for more than a year I think, before being in the news. I don't know what happened after that, Apple must have closed that loophole and Android requires a specific permission. But there are always vulnerabilities that developers can exploit and you can't trust the OS on this one.

Plus it really doesn't matter, because when it comes to security, there's also the issue of the mono-culture and user technical stupidity. We know that many people use Gmail, Facebook, Twitter, etc, most of them reusing passwords across services. And logging the user's copy/pasted texts gives you such a specific dictionary that the probability of getting hacked approaches 1 fast.

Is it me or the zoomed-out images for both sides in the Main Cause section of Battery B are the same? They clearly shouldn't be when they expand to such different images, and the difference is precisely what the infographic is trying to explain.

It seems to me it's a classic copy-and-paste error caused by haste/laziness. How ironic that the infographic made to explain the buggy batteries is buggy as well.

This is ridiculous. Are people this short-sighted? I keep hearing about people going back to paper agenda or simple text files for todos. I would understand if they said they couldn't find a better solution, but many of them claim that this is an improvement over any digital solution.

Firstly, that wasn't my claim. I was talking about doing something that could be seen as a causative action (like lowering airport security).

You seem fairly freedom-uber-alles —as many vocal people are— but it'd be genuinely interesting to get referendum results on issues like this to see just how much freedom people will willingly hand over for the mere hope of added safety for them and their family.

I agree with you. Fear-mongering arguments are used to dismantle freedom all the time and it genuinely inconveniences a lot of people to suffer through things like TFA, but we're talking about a fraction of a percent of travellers. Would the whole agree with you or succumb to herd mentality and try to stay safe, whatever the cost?

So, what's your favorite notebook and pen combination?

I ordered a bunch of pens from Jet Pens a year ago and my favorite also ended up being one of the cheapest - the Pilot Hi-Tec-C.

My favorite notebook used to be an engineering notebook. It had a grid on one side of the page and college-ruled lines on the other and had a spiral bound spine. Not sure if I have a favorite any more. I do use a lot of index cards.

The one time I've had to do a large SWIFT transaction it was in person at the branch, written out on a little piece of paper .. and seemingly lost the moment I stepped out of the branch. Simply vanished with no record of ever having been attempted. Had to do it again a few days later.

The vast majority of news (even knowledge in general) isn't centred around clearly delineated falsifiable facts. The Trump "biggest inauguration crowd ever, period" statement is an outlier, a far one, because it's so easily falsifiable.

I enjoyed WaPos fact checking of the inauguration speech, here: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/fact-checker/wp/2017/01/...

What they do, for each statement, is opaquely deciding on a falsifiable interpretation of the statement, then proving it wrong. It's a devil-reading-the-bible thing (not that Trumps speeches really bear any comparison to the bible). They do not make a rigorous attempt to tease out all (or even most, or even more than one) reasonable interpretations of the statement, and figuring out which are more or less true.

The first statement is illustrative. Trump said (abridged, see the link for the full quote) "Washington has gotten rich off the backs of the rest of the country". WaPo finds that growth in DC hasn't outpaced the rest of the country since 2006, and thus that there is no empirical evidence to Trumps statement. That's it. In the process of reaching this very clear conclusion, they do state that household income is one of the highest in the country (not offering any explanation for this observation) -- directly falsifying their own conclusion. There is, evidently, some empirical evidence of this.

This process, which is called fact checking, by one of the most esteemed newspapers in the nation -- it's not some crank blogging -- is epistemologically dubious to the extreme.

Trump may very well have a very dubious relationship with the truth, but I have no faith that "fact checking" is going to save us.
I'm still astonished people on HN trust Facebook enough to have any of their apps installed. Since day one their developers have shown complete disregard for users privacy.
I don't think it's reasonable to assume that the company behind this app did no research into the problem. It's possible that they didn't, but it's also possible that they asked pregnant women what problems they faced and discovered that actually getting a seat by asking people doesn't work as often as we'd like to think. That would be a really interesting discovery - on the face of it the problem shouldn't exist, but maybe it actually does, and it's a big problem. Maybe women have found they've asked people and been verbally abused in response, so they're reticent about asking again in the future.

The lesson here for me, as a man who will never face the problem of not finding a seat when I'm pregnant, is that there are huge problem spaces that I have no insight in to.

This is an minimum viable product for a problem that I don't understand or have knowledge of. It won't work in every situation, and there are some huge problems to resolve in getting enough traction for it to be genuinely useful, but if this problem exists (and I'm willing to accept that it does) then I see this as a positive step forwards.
It is probably better now, but you used to be able to copy clipboard content from javascript or flash.

Keepass for windows and linux use autotyping or clears the buffer after a few seconds if you copy.
They could, but after the bad PR I doubt anyone (in large amounts) would want to buy them.

If they did, it'd be better to make it a slightly different shape and then release it under a different name.
"Because the UI is in the hands of the developer, they can ask for them individually "in context", or maybe all up front... and figure out how to handle the case where the user says "no>'.
"

But this system can still be easily abused unless Google tightens its app review process. An adversarial developer could take the teeth out of the system by demanding all permissions at the first run and make the app refuse to work unless all were granted.
Xiaomi's Plan to Rule the World: Build Every Gadget Imaginable
My approach is, if someone I would give my seat up to is standing near my seat, I'll get up and move without saying anything, as if I'm getting off at the next station.

If they're actually just fat, or if they don't consider themselves old, or if they don't speak English, or they're upset at my presumption they're weaker than me, or they're mentally ill or whatever, no problem.

Of course, if there are people between them and your seat, there's a chance someone different will take your seat. So it's not an infallible solution.
My Favorite Algorithm: Metropolis-Hastings (2015)
Don't assume that everyone owns a car. Especially people who are looking for cheap trips might not have one or prefer travelling by train (which works well in western europe).
It's not just that - their normal fraud checks are also pretty useless and a nuisance.

For years I regularly had Barclays block my card for things like buying the same plane tickets to fly see my family that I've done every year for more than a decade, from the same airline, to paying for groceries from the same online merchant I've paid for groceries at roughly the same amount every week for a couple of years.

The one instance I've had of fraud, on the other hand, their system didn't catch at all:

Someone paid two credit card bills of 4k each at a bank I've never before transferred money to, for accounts not in my name. I very rarely make big transfers, and certainly have never in my life paid money to a card account not in my name. You'd think that would have set off some red flags and the usual automated call telling me my card has been blocked until I confirm some transactions over the phone. But no.

Now, they were quick to take action and moved the money back into my account near immediately (with a stern warning that if I didn't sign the relevant documents in time to confirm what I had stated to them, the money would be taken back) so I wasn't inconvenienced that much. But having regular, routine payments being blocked semi-regularly while two unusually large transactions to a bank I never transfer to went straight through without additional check made me question what the point of their fraud checks is.

An American officer isn't really allowed to blow off concerns (at least from a nuke) like they did in that rant. They actually can't if they want to keep their job.

Qualitative, as in, that something us without scale or magnitude.

Quantitative, as in, with quantity such that different qualities can be compared wrt relative magnitude.

You're original statement was that other countries "shouldn't let Americans in". If this doesn't apply to all, and forever, then it might be comparable to Trumps quote.
