But "we need to act now" can lead to a lot of ineffective policies and practices that won't lead to the most impacting outcomes long term. I think reciprocal clean working environments as part of trade negotiations could go farther than a lot of the attempts so far. I also feel that no participating country should be exempt, beyond a reasonable grace period (2-3 years).

It's also worth considering the impact of some movements... as an example, there's significant impact in creating/shipping and replacing batteries on a large scale. It may not make as much sense compared to more efficient engines, and even additional looks at other engine techniques.

I find pollution relatively abhorrent on its' own though... recently driving through west Louisianan/east Texas and my initial thoughts as to the painful to breath air there was how can this be allowed to persist. I have mixed feelings all around, I just don't want to spend a lot of taxpayer money on ill-advised and lesser impacting processes. We do too much of that already.

None of that matters. If you're gaining weight, consume less calories until you start losing weight. Safe weight loss is a lb a week. It will take quite some time to safely slim down. That is the problem, it took years to put on the weight, people try eating less for a couple weeks and throw up their hands! People don't realize if they are 50lbs overweight, it will take about a year to lose all that safely and comfortably.

Not exactly true. For the same amount of calories, the quality of food may or may not impact your weight. You can eat 4000 calories/day in banana and loose weight, but eat 2500 in cheese burger and gain.

I tested that on myself. The body does not blindnessly store excess in absorbed energy. It stores fat for many other reasons. One of them is to regulate the blood PH: if you saturate your organism with too much toxic food, you won't process it fast enough. To avoid crossing the unfamous 7.40 PH threshold, one strategy is to use fat to wrap toxic molecules and put them aside on your belly so you can deal with it later. Unfortunately with our current life style, this "later" never comes.

It's slightly stylised 19th century English, which is very different to 21st century English. We don't use run-on sentences peppered by parenthetical clauses nearly as much as we used to, so I'm not surprised some readers may find it dense.

For more modern English, I think George Orwell is very hard to beat.

For blog posts, Paul Graham is always worth reading - not so much for the content, which is often debatable, but for the style, which is reliably lucid.

But it's always a good idea to match the social register and jargon level of the target audience. Professional writers often work on a range of gigs and know how to mould English into a range of styles and voices to reach different audiences.

So I'd be skeptical of any suggestion there's a One True Style for online content or technical writing. There are certainly common standards and traditions, but they may be out of date or too company-specific to apply generally.

> Eat less calories than you burn and loose weight.

This mantra annoys me, because it's like saying that to go to space, all you need to do is to burn rocket fuel and keep the nozzle pointed down (and then to the side).

It's technically true, but every single sane person know that it's true, and it doesn't really help you get to where you want.

It ignores how food affects motivation, digestion, metabolism etc. You can technically loose weight eating only sugar, but you'd find it impossibly hard due to the way the body is wired.

Generalizing to the obvious/trivial is not useful.

> I also assume there is an option somewhere to disable the MITM scanner.

By default this is ON and users don't have the competence to recognize that this is in fact increasing the surface area for attacks and to disable it. The mere existence of a setting that is ON by default doesn't absolve such AV companies.

But speaking of Bitdefender in particular, I installed it on my wife's computer, disabled that option, confirmed that it survived a restart, then one month later I discovered that it is ON again, probably due to an automatic update. It's also an "admin" setting and my wife's user account does not have admin privileges to turn it on or off.

So even with a setting in place, it's untrustworthy.
Hugo Barra was previously a VP of product development in Google's Android division. He moved to Xiaomi a few years ago, and oversaw their international expansion. That was seen as a pretty big move, since it was probably the most significant poaching of a non-Chinese executive from US tech company by a Chinese tech company.

His resignation from Xiaomi was announced a few days ago - presumably in order to move to this role.

Well, I don't think this is surprising, really. Those doctors are closer temporally to their training than the old docs. This is also why "Are you smarter than a fifth grader?" is actually harder than people think, because all those kids just learned last week what the capital of West Virginia is. Surgery seems to be a logical exception, since at the end of the day, I suppose it's more like being a car mechanic than a trivia competitor, and having a body of experience and "tricks of the trade" is more valuable than trying to compete with knowing more than WebMD and Wikipedia. I can't wait to pass the torch of diagnostics over to computers. People are generally lazy and they get comfortable too quickly for my taste, including doctors. I bet if you found some kind of situation in which doctors were kept on their toes, and constantly retraining their knowledge base, you'd find that the mortality rate doesn't go up.
I don't think it defeats the purpose of TLS.

From Wikipedia: "TLS and SSL are cryptographic protocols that provide communications security over a computer network". Your host is not "the network" and it's expected to be your trusted asset.

If the AV software can't be trusted, that's another issue not addressed by TLS.
And besides, at the end of the day - you (OP) don't work there any more, because of a conscious decision to leave - plenty enough reason to stop caring if you ask me.
How successful is the effort to convince clinate deniers as of right now? I see this as an archival effort. If the source is destroyed, this data, among everything else being archived, will still be around and publicly accessible by anyone who wants to use for any purpose. That is inherently important. That said, once the first part is well taken care of I'm a big advocate for building more refined systems for storing and verifying the information.
I still don't see why AV should scan websites. Get AD blocker + javascript blocker (with whitelist for trusted sites) and AV to scan local files. MITM'ing TLS makes more troubles and potential dangers than it solves.
Okay - friendly advice... This seems like a "new" blog. My advice is as follows:

* Build up some content first. It's easy to write a first blog post, harder to write regular blog posts. Life gets in the way unless you are dedicated. If you had 10+ posts, that would have been a better start...

* Writing style:
You prose is readable up to a point, but use bold and italic for emphasis, because capitalisation sounds like shouting and breaks the flow of your text.

Ampersand (&) was overused. As a programmer, that sort of grates on me.

* Audience:

Write a short background and description of yourself and co-workers you intend to talk about.

Be vague, make up amusing names for them, but make them more than a passing reference.

Build some multidimensional characters. I don't care about your co-worker because you just described "generic guy programmer in a senior role" not much to really grab me there.

Look at what went on before. Look at some contemporary blogs, this being a wonderful example: http://www.jemjabella.co.uk/

Most of the core platforms these companies use are built on open source. I think the fundamental reason there isn't something comparable in the free and open arena is because at the end of the day to coral the data volumes you will find your self well on your way down the road to hell.

There is a minimum physical hardware cost in the multi-million dollar range just to get started.

Not to mention the labor cost to operate and architect said hardware. Any thing in the Petabyte scale is looking at a minimum skeleton crew of (if they are top talent, more people if they aren't top talent) maybe 3-4 people between sysadmin architect and data engineers to keep things production worthy. The industry is still light on people with those skills so ontop of the bare hardware you are probably talking about 600 to 800 K in annual labor cost as a starting point.

This would all be before you get that much usage, the minute that utilization becomes high that skeleton crew won't cut it any more. The SysAdmin will need to turn into an on-call ops team. Data Engineering will need specialists for on-boarding vs analytics vs access layer.

If you are doing anything controversial don't forget the importance of a solid security organization which is highly challenging in the distributed computing space.

These are just the technical hurdles. Depending on the data you would be bringing in there are quite possibly legal barriers as well depending on the locality.

So again its not so much that this isn't possible, more that there hasn't been someone willing to endow the kind of funding that would be required to scale something of this nature solely for the benefit of the public good.

> Clojure introduced meanings for [] and {} in a Lisp

Lisp was using [] and {} before in a lot of software.

For example this is a data structure in Connection Machine Lisp called Xapping, basically a parallel hash table:

{moe->"Oh, a wise guy, eh?" larry->"Hey, what's the idea?" curly->"Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk!"}

Straight from the 80s.

Scheme was using [] also many years before in the standard, programs and books.

What does "it feels cheap" actually mean? Some people keep saying this, but I suspect they are expressing their own personal pejorative opinions of materials, and not actually whether those materials are fit for purpose and doing the job intended.

It is the same with phones. Glass or Machines Aluminium are supposedly "premium" despite that they easily scratch and break/bend/shatter, are heavy, make it difficult to implement core features like antennas, etc etc. I think "premium" just means "expensive", as in, "look at my conspicuous display of wealth, I can afford to spend money on materials for my phone which are entirely unsuitable when considered in any objective way". Give me some robust plastic any day.

This is how it is with the steam controller. Valve made the "mistake" of constructing a controller that is light and strong, from plastic. A handheld device being light is a GOOD thing. But everybody complains of it being "cheap" - perhaps they should have made it from machined aluminium or gorilla glass or something absurd like that.
Thanks, the first book (along with the exercises) seems like a great approach. Just peeked at the contents online, and it's pretty close to what I'm looking for.

People keep repeating it because once you figure out your motivation and dial in a calorie goal that lets you lose weight without feeling like crap, it actually works. You're right that you can't ignore all that other stuff, but you also can't lose sight of the essential fact that you lose weight by eating fewer calories than you burn. The process of dieting requires you to perform tasks that support that goal.

It's a fundamental part of our physiology that we have to consume a certain quantity of macronutrients to support our metabolic processes. If we don't, then our bodies utilize existing stores of macronutrients like fat and muscles, breaking them down and converting them to usable energy to meet the deficit. This causes you to lose weight, as you drink water, metabolize your fat and muscle tissue, and then exhale carbon dioxide, and excrete waste products. You're literally breathing the weight out.

You find motivation so that there's something preventing you from stuffing your face with cake every day. Then you spend a few months iterating while you figure out what you can build a diet out of that will leave you sated and allow you to cut calories. This is where your metabolism, psychology, etc. come in. Once you have that dialed in, and you may arrive at it without counting calories if you're careful, then you will start losing weight.

Weight loss requires a lot of self-awareness and attention to what you enjoy or don't enjoy about a variety of foods. Somehow, through some series of test meals, you figure out that you really like raw bell peppers, but only with salt, or that the only thing trail mix is actually good for is making you hungrier(this is something I struggle with).
I'm pretty sure no AV would help against targeted attacks on high profile target. If you have multi-million business to secure, you play at totally different risk model.

6你必须知道的纸张
In your first sentence which actions are you referring to?
Can you explain how this could be exploited (assuming that the user does not ignore warnings)?
This is dangerous advice though.

Loose weight just by counting calories will not take in consideration toxicity (see my other comment in this thread). Many people burn fat this way, which release toxins they can't process. Hence their body is thin but saturated with poison. From here 2 things happens:

- the person gains weight again to protect him/herself. Happens very often.

- the person manage to not gain weight at this expense of his/her health, sometime with terrible consequences you only see months or years later.

One of my friends is currently in the later category. She lost a lot of weight and his very hot. But her skin is degrading at an alarming pace. It's a very bad symptom when your are 30.

All in all, it's important when you loose weight to:

- do it progressively so your body can process the toxins at the same rate they are released.

- help the body to eliminated say toxins by alternating rest and exercise, drinking and if needed, consuming.

- provide the body with a sane diet to not only avoid adding more toxins to the current ones, but also bring minerals than can be used to bring the PH up and vitamins to keep organs running smoothly.

Basically, "sleep well, eat well and exercise". Thank you grand ma :)
Dublin Ireland (English speaking) has 2 top 200 universities. University College Dublin and Trinity College Dublin (also called University of Dublin). With a student visa you can work in a job 20 hrs a week, 40 hrs in the summer. Funding will be hard enough for PhD, a fair number of people do Masters. USA software companies employ many people in Dublin (for when you finish/get a full work visa). USA software companies are in Dublin for tax reasons. If you (about 5 years if you are lucky) later get Irish citizenship you can work anywhere in the EU (European Union). Dublin does not compete favourably with top US destinations, but competes favourably with USA destinations outside the top 5 softare cities (and other European cities) marginal top rate income tax taxation pretty high, accommodation cost high. Toleration of other nationalities pretty good except for a small 'immigrants stealing our jobs' minority, immigration pretty recent (due to economic boom 1998 to 2008), generally from new in 2004 EU states (Poland, Latvia, Lithuania as no visa now required) and from India for software engineers.

But not everyone has access to all of your browsing history; especially across browsers and devices.

There's Microsoft, Google, and/or Apple have that. The profit models of these big companies create some disincentives on onselling this data.

AV providers are often on much smaller margins and the return from selling this data or building their own products on it is much higher.

I wouldn't be surprised if ISPs and VPNs also sold on data.

> It's not like it takes a lot longer to read a 3 line if statement than a ternary operator.

It doesn't take a lot longer to sit down and understand how ternary operators work, either. C'mon, it's not differential equations, it's just a notation, and a fairly simple one. It might take a newbie slightly more time at first to understand the logic. We've all been there once, you stop and stare at it for 15 minutes, but after a few times of deciphering it you get used to it. It's not about being 1337 (I surely hope that it's not what's considered elite this days), it's about learning new stuff and any averagely intelligent person can do it. Honestly, would you really hire someone who is not capable to (in a reasonable amount of time) teach him/herself how to read a ternary operator? What programming would that person be capable of doing in future?
