I love cruises, I think you're missing out on some wonderful vacation memories!

I bet you very much could relax, considering there's almost no way you have problem typing on your computer made by "slave" labor, while wearing your "slave" labor generated clothing, eating your "slave" labor trafficked food, etc.

Some very poor people live their lives because you bought the stuff in the room you're in now, there are no two ways around that.
>Pretty cool, although I'm pretty sure I would never use something like this.

I'm pretty sure hackers do. Lets face it how many people audit their systems IF they feel its secured?
You should charge more
I generally make an exception for HTTPS Everywhere and Google Password Alert when I wrote things like this, but I agree that maybe it's worth it to cut them and simplify the guide.

Thats called projecting. Seems you are used to dealing with cheapskates. That sucks.
Those are considered embedded because the intention is to just flash them with software like android once during the manufacturing process and then never update it.
Fair point - I was mostly focused on the build system. It is quite something and a marvel of engineering. The culture is actually good in parts of the company -- like core systems infra -- but yes it is hard to spread that throughout, it seems. A separate article about culture and what's good and bad would be interesting, but probably not likely to be seen in public, particularly if it's honest...
I wish Apple would sell OSX licenses directly to customers. It would sidestep the whole clone thing, let enthusiasts build proper hackintoshes, and make it legal for businesses to support consumers who go down that route. Sure, make it illegal to OEM or to install for a third party; don't provide any support whatsoever; but let the hackers play without fear. I bet that awesome things would happen.
... or just use a docker container.
Why does the article not mention the russia-hysteria as another prime example of baseless repetitive untruth of the current news cycle? It's also surprisingly light on its facts and logic: in the american left-right debate is there really excessive repetition from one side more than the other?

Is it really a matter of repetition or a matter of trust? Does it matter that fact-checkers point out the errors in trumps tweets? He has gained the trust of his followers, while the fact-checkers have a bad reputation and shady relationships with establishment. Even if they get the facts right, people don't trust them to make decisions right. It's more about what you plan to do with the facts than who has the most facts, and policy decisions are not deterministic, no matter how many facts you throw at them.

Same goes for establishing scientific facts indeed. Peer review is based on a few, reputable reviewers, rather on a crowd of anonymous but trust-less fact-checkers.
They dropped in quality sharply when Murdoch acquired them, and fired a big chunk of the team. Then they started focusing on offensive conservative propaganda on their editorial page. At that point I stopped reading or paying attention to them.

Frankly, I welcome the news about the paywall since it will mean I see fewer links to their "journalism".

Has something changed in the last few years? Did they somehow turn things around?

[edit: Just wanted to point out that the events I'm referring to were about a decade ago. Concretely, before the acquisition, it seemed like the WSJ was driving something like 50% of the daily news cycle with a difficult to discern bias.

Upper management intentionally destroyed that, at least from an outsider perspective.

Reading the other comments and stories about the whole fake news phenomenon makes me think no one has managed to replicate the function they used to serve.]

I never understood why people think the "holy grail layout" is a sticky footer. Do they really have pages with so little content that it's an issue?

I have decided for me at least that a fixed footer and header is what I consider my "holy grail layout" with just a center with no columns. Lately I've been trying to play with css grid to port over my previous layouts, but without much luck so far.
If they don't know this much, what else don't they know? Not to mention they don't disclose anything about the team or company other than it is "Made with Love in Istanbul". No reason not to assume its a kid who has never hosted a production service in their life.

It would probably behoove someone to sell these laptops, iPads, and iPhones to journalists, lawyers, and other folks with these configurations. It's a lot easier to give them a pre-configured locked down device that they can't mess with than it is to ask them to actually buy a Yubikey.

It won't work for everyone - Slate's CMS is notorious for only working in Firefox, for example - but if Pro Publica is going to hire 30 journalists, then be their vendor.
To be honest, as I get older: rural Northeastern Ontario where I grew up gets more appealing. Internet access and the good-tasting-beer scene has gotten much better. And these days anything I'd want to shop for I can get delivered. The perks are reasonable housing costs and easy access to outdoor activities: own your own lake? Why not!

(This said after working in Kitchener-Waterloo, Toronto, Ottawa, London UK, Manila. And visiting many more places. A second place would be somewhere rural but close to a ski hill, Collingwood or Charlevoix or the BC interior.)
Thanks for the education.

>But I think people will enjoy driving for the same reason they enjoy tube amps, it's not perfect, but it has a warmth and human element of imperfection to it and people might just like that.

Agreed. I enjoy the feel of a combustion engine, the sounds, and the drama. Particularly so from forced induction engines. I know electric is coming, and in many ways is already better, but it lacks the personality that I enjoy in driving (for now, at least).
You should have attached your post to one of the ones that you felt implied this.
Adding: the Tor Browser might be the least safe browser to use of all available browsers that can be installed on modern computers. It is a perfect storm of "inferior security design" and "maximized adversarial value per exploit dollar spent".

Don't use Tor Browser.
Ugh. Just enforce no parking in residential areas without the appropriate sticker, like most big cities do.
ISRO to launch record 104 satellites on Feb 15
Yep, only libc. And only for some popularly installed (after system install) programs.

>We selected these apps from the official marketplaces for each OS: Google Play (45 apps), Apple AppStore (10 apps), and Ubuntu Software
Center (45 apps). We chose popular apps based on the number of installs, selecting apps
across nine categories, ..

So mostly GUI programs. Not to mention that probably all those "apps" call into libc eventually (even android ones).

Only thing this made me think about is "why is this taken seriously here?".
I'm not really on top of the various policy debates, actually. What's important is not to be distracted by this idea that "life sucks, and you can't really do anything about it -- so just keep your head down and look after yourself." Being as this is not only exactly how the powers-that-be want you to see things; it's entirely integral to their strategy of keeping things the way they are.

In fact, they even have a name for this strategy:

You got that exactly backwards. Biblical historians generally agree that most of what we know as the New Testament were written 50-100CE. Many of the gnostic gospels were pretty clearly written earlier, by people closer to Jesus. Why were they excluded, while all of Paul's crap thrown in? Politics. His was a vision of Christianity suitable to those in power in 367CE. Again, instead of violating the rules by calling people stupid, please learn the actual facts.

A sneaky way to suggest them would be to mention some that are comfortable to type on.
Written text is non-persistent too. If you're dreaming and look away and back at a sign, newspaper, whatever, the words all change.

I've used the light switch thing to trigger a number of lucid dreams too, I always assumed that your brain just doesn't bother wiring things like that up, rather than the complexity of shading being an issue.
I stilll somehow feel this could become a support burden. Also it'd kill their highest end Mac market

(I certainly am not saying that their inability to seemingly update these Mac pros or even have a decent iMac pro alternative is beyond what I mean here. I feel that pain)

I wonder however if they charge a fat sum for it like they did back in the day for Snow Leopard Server if the margin would supplant some of that
You can look as hard as you want on the internet, you'll never find any advice or good practice on managing production systems and migrations.

That’s a nice idea, if you’re willing to pay the massive extra cost to actually rent all those overpriced systems.

For me, personally, going from cloud servers to rented dedicated servers cut my bill by 93% – more than an order of magnitude. At same performance.

In fact, it’d be cheaper to run 10x as many dedicated servers than to use cloud solutions for me.

HTTPS Everywhere would be a win (I'd have to think about whether it's enough of one to earn its place on the list, but if you added it, you could also suggest an ad-blocker --- another issue there though is suggesting ad blockers to journalists gets to a tricky place).

GPA is great, but the premise behind this guide is that if you're relying on passwords for Google you're already boned. It's a security win even with TOTP enabled, but I don't think it's enough to earn a spot.

These guidelines are being distributed to activists and journalists along with free U2F keys, for whatever that's worth.

That's a smart idea. But these instructions are also being given to immigration lawyers and to Muslim rights activists, both of whom have very limited budgets, so vendor isn't a great place to start.
Occam's razor would immediately discard quantum theory. Does that make it false?
They would never do that.

Apple doesn't take (much) action now, because it doesn't really affect their ecosystem. If businesses could support consumers that went down that route, it would eventually be easy to install Mac OS on arbitrary computers. Apple would definitely not be making money on that.

Hackers already play without fear. Apple rarely takes action, unless money is exchanging hands. But it's all about the consumer market in this case.

The problem with that is why should those kids that can behave themselves (which used to not just be 'rich kids') be penalized by being stuck in an environment that has to slow down because half the class didn't hear the teacher the first four times because they choose not to pay attention.

In high school, I just stopped showing up. Classes were going too slow for me and didn't hold my attention. I'm not super intelligent but I do like learning and am fully capable of sitting down and focusing.

One size fits all doesn't work anywhere else, why do we expect it to work with educating children that have nothing in common except their age?
I expend a lot of effort to avoid Wikipedia as a bona dude source of truth, and man is it difficult. The desire for a single easy-to-access repository of knowledge is incredibly strong, but over the years, I've been stung repeatedly by this particular one.

As it turns out, the "Neutral Point of View" rule that Wikipedians so proudly tout is quite strongly biased toward a specific world-view: that of the so-called "progressive" mindset.

It doesn't matter how much value a system of ideals has; if it transforms a purportedly neutral source of information into a dogmatic one, then the source loses all credibility and usefulness.

This seems to be happening on Wikipedia at an alarming rate, which is a real bummer. It's not as ridiculous and blatant as (e.g.) Conservapedia, but... well, frankly, that makes it all the more concerning. Zealotry is way harder to call out when it's cloaked, as Wikipedia tends increasingly to be, in the sly guise of unassailable moral high ground.
What is it about the state of math education that this kind of explanation is not there in every class?

Computational skill is used as a proxy for understanding because educators, just like the rest of us, are lazy-ass human beings. The authors of standardized tests don't care if you know what an eigenvalue is, only that you can calculate one.

Or, put more charitably: teaching math is hard as hell.

Like so many other aspects of our lives, modern math education in the US grew out of a knee-jerk response to a perceived crisis -- the launch of Sputnik, in this case -- that wasn't very well thought out. Schools were required to measure kids' progress in math and science quantitatively, precisely, and repeatably. And just as in other fields, once a measurement becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measurement.

Show HN: Beehive – An open source IFTTT powered by Go's templating engine
The study doesn't even address the question of how much real names help. No one uses their real name on Wikipedia. It is just comparing edits from logged in users with edits from people who aren't logged in (sometimes called "IPs" since their IP address is recorded). Also, some abuse from logged in users comes from sock puppet accounts.
Fyi you're charging a lot less than I used to when doing contract work that predominantly involved wordpress template brochure websites.
I think this discussion misses the point what "everything is a file" is about.

The standard way to exchange (read, write) information should be through the Unix file interface where possible. Note that "file" here means "FILE *", i.e. an "opened file" or "stream". Not a file on a filesystem which is just one way to make one kind of stream.

In other words that mantra is about simplicity. Simplicity is what enables software to exist.
Indeed. Or just sci-fi comedy.
You can't use generic statistics to obtain significant insight in to people's lives: those on minor incomes are probably dependent / semi self-sufficient / agrarian / fishing / unbanked, so simply do not appear to have or need much money. In addition, barter and sharing are still widely practiced amongst agrarian communities.

For some perspective, in a report from recent (last 2 months) research that I read this morning, the very lowest household income amongst Myanmar migrant workers (largely factory workers) interviewed in Thailand was almost exactly this figure (7kTHB), whereas 2-5x this figure (~20-35kTHB) was common.

Similarly, relocating Chinese villagers I met last month reported being given 290元 (~$42)/head/month + lifetime generous monthly rice/oil allowance + initial bulk hardship payment + free housing when relocated to facilitate a new hydropower project. A family of four Chinese farmers in this situation essentially receive this income forever without the need to work at all.
I've read geometric/mathematical proofs that have convinced me immediately. Just seeing the logical steps flow from step to step was enough to prove the assertion was true.

> Another rule is that they cannot take more than the excess of your earnings over 30 times the federal minimum hourly wage (currently $7.25 per hour). That means $217.50 per week (30 X $7.25) is safe from any garnishment at all.

307.2552 = $11,310

You are largely immune to garnishment on a $12k/year UBI (for instance) under existing law. Bankruptcy would likely remove any garnishment if you only had UBI. I'm not a lawyer but the impression I have is pretty much under $20k, very little garnishment will occur due to:

A) Costs of recovery

B) The bankruptcy process favors the poor person declaring bankruptcy in terms of who walks away with "more".

I highly suspect the current floor on how much of your wages can be garnished would be kept equal to UBI and no one extends substantial credit to people on UBI for that reason.

Keep in mind, you might get a kernel panic when you try to hot-plug the drive back in. It's not guaranteed to work, but it's worth a try.

If that doesn't work (kernel panic or whatever) you can disconnect the drive and connect it via a SATA-to-USB adapter in which case hot plugging should definitely work.
I'll actually be shocked if this doesn't happen where jobs are in expensive congested areas whether because people want cheaper housing or just want to live somewhere quieter and closer to nature. You don't even need door-to-door self-driving. Just on highways would be sufficient for a lot of routes.

There's obviously some upper limit. But a driving commute in heavy traffic that most would consider pretty hellish today (say 1.5 to 2 hours each way) becomes a lot more palatable if you can read/work/etc.

It's pretty much Economics 101 that if you make something better/cheaper/easier you get more of it.
Valis series is really what they are referring too.

The books are about how a mad God is the creator of our universe and the real God has tried to force itself into our reality throughout history (Jesus, Buddha, etc), usually within the context of an oppressive government.

This is probably clearest in the second Valis book - The Devine Invasion, though certainly these themes are present in Valis (book 1) and The Transmigration of Timothy Archer (book 3).

I would also note that these books are not a traditional 'series' in that beyond Valis being mentioned there is no direct connection between the stories.
From the information we have so far, it does not appear that his people "advised" him to order that raid; in fact, they gave him plenty of indications that it was actually a Very Bad Idea (for the reasons that have since come to light: inadequate intelligence, no backup plan, etc).

So if anything, he appears to have overridden the counsel of his experienced military advisors, himself.

* horizontal (landscape) mode, especially the tablet / desktop (web) version, maybe with something like timelines mentioned here
* some way of marking when beginning and end of box representing even actually falls on begin and end time (perhaps bolder lines, perhaps some shading, perhaps adding "handles" i.e. ------- to -----, etc.)

I also wonder how do you represent whole-day events.

Great work!

> Are you now saying that greenhouses are so warm because of their CO2 levels?

No, what the OP says is that CO2 acts like a greenhouse
Your assertion that consumption has increased is compatible with Alexander's article if the quality of the product being consumed has decreased, e.g. people go to the doctor 20x more, but their health is worse than before. Or they go to school for 5 years extra on average, but are worse prepared for a job. In this scenario people are consuming more of an inferior product, and overall getting less utility/dollar spent.

50 years ago you paid $100 to a doctor and $80 of those dollars went towards giving you medical care, whereas now only $10 of those dollars go to giving you medical care. Back then only $20 went to 'overhead', but nowadays $90 goes to 'overhead'. By overhead I mean anything that is not directly germane to giving you care: administrative, taxes, insurance, lawyers, paperwork, even the $15 you spent on driving/parking to get to the hospital. The extra money is thus being destroyed by inefficiencies in the system.

I made these numbers up to illustrate my point.
