That's my understanding, yes. And I've had to deal with it first hand when I forgot I had used a certain SD card in a Windows phone and then tried to access its data in another device. I had to pull that old phone out of storage to access, then wipe and unlock the card. It's a great feature that I wish other phone manufacturers would adopt.

Yes, Clojure (that Lisp variety) as well. Forth for embedded as well. But they are niche; it depends where you live etc on which opportunities there are for each of those. But yes, you are right; Kdb (and Clojure btw) are good in some parts of finance and pay well.

Edit: what i'm basically saying is that practicing any of these languages will help you in potentially more than one way; it will open your mind to interesting paradigms and constructs as well as give you job opportunities you would not think of possibly later on.

There's a device for unlocking I-phones. I saw it in action a few times at work:
The I-phone is placed horizontally into a cradle, 40 cm above the screen there's some kind of a device.
That device produces flash flights, a couple times per second and I suspect it takes pictures.
If I remember correctly there's nothing touching the buttons.
The officer said that it can crack I-phone 6 (7 was not out when I asked it).
What I suspect is that it uses brute force and avoids the delaying system.
Since I work in a low tech environment, I was surprised to see that thing in action.

They very likely already were in the gene pool before we went on the antibiotics binge. Remember that our antibiotics were discovered in nature. They're used by other species to fight bacteria. Penicillin was used by moulds for unknown millions of years before we coopted it.

Those antibiotic resistant genes likely weren't in pathogenic bacteria that affect humans though. And by improperly using antibiotics, we've created an environment where those genes cross species boundaries from where they originated.

“Wyoming is a great wind state and we produce a lot of wind energy. We also produce a lot of conventional energy, many times our needs.

What do you mean? It's not as if the Model 3 offers anything near Ferrari-level design nor performance. In my (admittedly biased, like anyone's) opinion, designwise it's very similar to the Mazda 3 4-door sedan:
https://www.mazdausa.com/vehicles/mazda3-sedan

And before you quote 0-60 times: they are a tiny, tiny part of performance; if you look at actual racetrack performance, even the Model S P100D is miles behind a Ferrari, it's behind the top-spec Honda Civic in Nurburgring lap times. Which Tesla don't even measure nor publish, unlike all other sports car manufacturers ever. The Model 3 will be even worse off.

Come to think of it, we used to have a word for big, heavy American cars that go fast in a straight line and not otherwise: muscle cars.

Cities aren't forced into lottery systems, they are perfectly free to allow kids to go to schools close to their home. Yes, that will result in segregation of students to generally match the segregation of residents. But artificial forced integration has it's downsides and costs, as this article shows - and IMHO it doesn't really solve anything, as the segregation of residents is not solved by randomly integrating students.

this is coming from a mechanical engineer working at one of the big 3's in Detroit. the car development process is very expensive. making one part affects lot of different parameters, for e.g. change in hood design will affect aerodynamics, noise paths, crash, durability, manufacturing complexity, cost of each part {bold}, fuel economy. in car industry, people fight for every dollar that is spent on a car. for a consumer, a simple led costs 1$, but for a manufacturer, if they sell half a million cars, the expenditure is very high.
changing anything on a car platform is very expensive, aesthetics are not always priority.

The lack of street trees and the wide, busy streets make SF sidewalks really unpleasant. Another thing is that so many of the row houses have garages and driveways to the street, not an alley. So not only are sidewalks uglier - in many parts of the city it's mostly pavement all around you, with walls of garage doors - but also you have to watch out for cars coming in and out of garages.

Some neighborhoods in SF are really pleasant and walkable, but overall the city isn't really pedestrian-friendly at all. It's not designed for walking, and it isn't dense enough. It's more of a high-density car-oriented city, which is kind of the worst of both worlds.

The bay area is very expensive and it takes an exceptional single income to live comfortably, or you make huge compromises, so I think dual income families are far more common that not.

When it comes to having children, at some point, you decide you're ready and find a way to make it work. We're managing, but we both have to work. We love the area, our friends are here, are careers are here, we're up in the mountains every few weeks enjoying nature, this really is a beautiful part of the country, and you pay for that. Life isn't only about minimizing costs.

Long term, we probably can't afford to stay here unless I win the startup lottery, so we have an exit plan, but for now, we're enjoying this place.

Not the low-end market, no, cars require a bit more technical expertise than handbags. But I imagine you'll find that there are cars 2/3rds the price of any given Ferrari model that have roughly the same level of performance, from objective measurements. In which case you're "only" paying something like 30k to participate in the word "Ferrari."

Employment, just the same as anywhere else. In this country a job isn't something that most people can simply pick and choose from. Tech jobs especially are very different outside the Bay Area. A big example: it's common to have 18-30 month tenures at a job in the Bay Area, and that's considered "job hopping" many other places. Others include the casual dress and relatively greater time flexibility.

Tech experience in the Bay by no means guarantees the ability to find employment outside it.
Many of the west's coal power plants are powered from Wyoming coal. Lots of ways of life about to go away, lots of people desperately trying to protect the old. So strange to see this same theme repeated over and over in history, you'd think we'd learn after seeing this for so many centuries.
Halide is for explicit SIMD, and a couple of the others provide good support for it as well. These tools are made by graphics and physics optimization people. Look at the examples.
The Laffer curve deals with output from labor. When you tax someone you reduce the money they get per unit work, i.e. their wage. If the wage is too low they might not find it worth doing the work. If I'm a paid shill/some job and I'm taxed 99%, I might stop shilling because the effort outweighs my salary.

Regarding automation, see the lump of labour fallacy. Humans will just switch to tasks that aren't automated (this has always been happening and it's happening now). If humans are not needed at all, then we've reached utopia/post-scarcity society.

Humans don't work less because of the hedonistic treadmill. For example, most HNers have enough food and other things to survive which might be considered paradise by people 500 years ago (famines were common back then). Historically, poverty often meant death from starvation.

Our standards of living have been constantly going up, so even though there are productivity gains we end up working more. Of course, that's a voluntary choice so I don't see anything wrong with that.
Shame that the battle for the desktop is actually (mostly) being fought on the laptop - and Linux sucks there. The default settings are usually extremely poor for powersaving. Why doesn't powertop+TLP get installed, configured and activated by default when Ubuntu/Fedora detects its installed on a laptop? Also, sleeping still isn't reliable (if I close my Macbook with some work on I can be damn sure it'll be exactly as I left it when I open it. With Linux, its still not 100% reliable). Wifi still also isn't nearly as reliable (packet loss, connection drops etc.) as either Windows or macOS.
I'm the author of the OP's post. When I left the U.S. one of the questions that I was asked (that I refused to answer) was whether I used any social media and what the accounts were. The sites that they listed as examples were Facebook and WhatsApp, which I found particularly interesting.
Generally speaking, passionate users are much, much easier to find than a motivated buyer and there is a predictable correlation between the two.

As such, I would argue that if you are unable to find users it is highly unlikely you will find a buyer without knowingly materially misrepresenting the opportunity and/or exploiting a naive buyer.

It's a common problem, thanks for the opportunity to express my take on it.

> To not beat a dead horse: every single decision made by the Supreme Court is effectively in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

Say what? I don't recall that the Constitution gives the Supreme Court the right to change or delete any part of itself. It does very clearly lay out how it can be amended — and the Supreme Court is not part of that.

Moreover, Supreme Court decisions really only set a precedent, which can of course be overturned by another decision at another time. They're just decisions in particular cases (although it's highly likely that courts will rule similarly in other cases).

Legislators write the law; executives execute it; judge apply the law to the facts of a case.

When most people think of SSH keys, they probably think of RSA if they’re aware of the underlying cryptography. Until recently, they would be right: RSA has been a mainstay of public key cryptography for some time now, and although it’s on the way out for new protocols and systems, it will be around for quite some time.

Why is RSA on the way out? This is news for me. Are there any (potential) weaknesses that have been discovered recently in the RSA? I know that elliptic curve cryptography has shorter (and hence somewhat more convenient) keys, but that fact alone hardly makes RSA obsolete. Are there anything else?
I agree, but I'm often confused by those without kids or those who say that having a kid totally changed people's lifestyles unexpectedly.

For me, having a kid has certainly been an (expected) money drain. But beyond that, my life is pretty similar to pre-kid. Wife and I still work our day jobs. Outside of work we still enjoy the same sorts of things we enjoyed before having a kid and continue to do those things. Now we just have an extra source of entertainment and responsibility in the kid as well.

Off-topic tale: This brings back the memory of my first serious security job, 14 years ago or so. I had to pen test a big corporate-like network from the inside so I was left with my laptop in a cubicle and the mission to own something. I was young, inexperienced and a bit scared by the size of the network. After some minutes I had a general map of the network, there were some separated LANs and in the middle of them all it was this Avaya Cajun managed thing. I ran some google queries and the second or third result showed up a CVE, the Avaya firmware had a hidden admin account. Total time used, 10-15 mins.

I did not have to go any further, owning the Avaya was game over and got some pats on the back from my employer and the clients. I had prepared a quite extensive plan of action, been my first gig I had to show. The laptop was loaded of tools, even some "cool" exploits but at the end it all came down to a few nmap scans and a google query. I felt dissapointed. Also, after the pen test I spent some (very) boring weeks documenting, inventorying, and documenting again. It made me reconsider how deep I wanted to dive into security audits.
This is probably because I had set up DNSSEC on my nameservers, but my registrar doesn't yet support DNSSEC for .li. I plan on moving to another registrar once the domain is closer to expiry. I guess I'll try to do something sooner than that to remove the DNSSEC entries that my nameserver is returning.

That was the Ford Pinto.

The Pontiac Fiero had a tendency of catching on fire, in the rear, because of engine failures. Specifically, the 1984 Models with the 2.5l 'Iron Duke' 4 cylinder engine. The connecting rods in the engine would fail, blow a hole in the engine block, leak oil onto the hot engine/exhaust components, and then catch on fire.

Being aware of my own happiness. A while back I realized that true happiness y not a way, a goal, but it is something that every one has. So I realized that I was already happy. Then I found out that I express my happiness by the choices I made every day. That no matter how hard everything seems, from my own happiness I can choose from different options, even those from I'm not aware of. Then I read it from Buddhism, and I found also found out that the meaning of life is to be happy and be useful to others... since then I try to express my happiness by being helpful to others.

I know that it is sound like new-age-hippie stuff, but this idea has worked for me. I hope it helps.
