Well I'm glad I understood where we disagree.

I think nutritional waste is worse than wasting money, you obviously think the opposite. I also think it's worse to order something to throw it away deliberately.

I guess the old saying "agree to disagree" applies.
No, Etak could recover position after you made a few turns, unless you were in a city with a very regular grid. The recent path would be matched against the map to find the best match. When Honey demoed the system to me, he drove around a vacant lot in Menlo Park to force it to lose position, and then it recovered after a few turns.
Without a doubt, the most elegantly designed products I've ever used are the sequencers and synthesizers made by Teenage Engineering (https://teenage.engineering/). I own the original three pocket operators (PO-12, PO-14, PO-16) and every aspect about them, from the packaging to the board design itself (the whole instrument is just the PCB its made on), is a work of art. Granted, they're not necessarily the most intuitive thing to use, but when you consider TE has shrunken a desk's worth of electronic music equipment into something the size of a Raspberry Pi, it's hard to not be impressed with their design methodology.
This has been a problem since forever. I had one of the first Intel Macbooks and the damned thing blew up 2 batteries. They swelled up to about 4 times their original thickness overnight. Luckily, they didn't explode but after the second incident the Macbook got recycled with extreme prejudice.

great stuff .. will try it out now and let you know
The Python API (pystan) is also GPLv3.
Before 2001, I toyed with the idea of making metal cutouts that looked like cartoon versions of bombs or weapons (ball bomb, dagger).

I guess I'll never be able to do that.
Derivative works are what are banned by copyright. They are the things that are not covered by fair use. Transformative works that really change a work aren't covered by copyright because they don't really count as a copy anymore. Fair use is this other thing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fair_use#U.S._fair_use_factors
I take it as axiomatic that understanding the truth is better than believing in a falsehood. The latter almost always leads to gaps that can be exploited for potentially nefarious purposes.

In this particular case, the reason that theft is wrong (because it deprives another person) is very different than the reason that copyright infringement is illegal (because the founders wanted to encourage invention by granting limited monopolies). If people believe that copyright infringement is theft, however, then powerful corporations like Disney can convince them that copyrights should last indefinitely.
In my brief perusal of the site's articles on marriage, I didn't see any religious arguments put forth.

Please understand, I'm not attempting to make a general argument about every single person opposed to same-sex marriage. I'm specifically discussing the attitudes of stream.org, and by extension other people who hold a similar "freedom, small government, and no same-sex marriage" attitude.
What about modern medical technology? how many people of the 3,978,497 of people born in US in year 2015 were born out of this modern technology ? Now if we extend that to world, that is hundreds of millions of babies.

My comment was neutral about gay marriage. I was trying to tie the relationship between demographics and Nation-States and why hetero-sex is mostly overlook but important ingredient.

May be in the future each of us get to have clone armies and designer babies, I do not know. But to pretend Sexuality and its outcomes have no bearing in Life and Destiny of a Nation to me is laughable.
I want people to use technology to find what those people who drive a car into pedestrians have in common. There must be something unique about them, the media says they all have mental health issues. Suddenly since 2016 people with metal issues got access to cars and trucks.
This is the only tool I miss since I shifted from Windows to Linux almost a decade back. If you're on Windows, go install it right now.

I use locate for now, but I'm still to find something that does it as well.
Well, if parents got to choose their kids' schools rather than being forced to accept what the State gives them, then this wouldn't be an issue (or, rather, it'd be an issue for each school to consider on its own).
Because some parents are incapable of and/or unwilling to teaching their children right from wrong and will rely on the public education system to do it for them.
There's no need to ask that. Just see if he's still using it in a few months, or if the price has escalated drastically.
Heh, I did that with a 5x5 Billy^W Expedit bookcase in a basement suite... And discovered, when moving out, that it would not fit up the stairs assembled. Hope the next tenant liked it!
Well, the CBP should bloody well train their staff on the rules they're tasked with enforcing.
Interesting idea, but probably the wrong decision. In my own life, I've noticed that this approach just doesn't work for me. Rudeness or cheating in response to rudeness and cheating doesn't win. The thing about the shameless (as James Bond mused about a cheater at tennis) is that they are curiously invulnerable. You aren't curiously invulnerable, so you'll lose at this sort of pissing contest.

A civil, coherent, deliberate, and assertive response is a very good idea, though. Just don't give up on your values.
No, because if we sent one now by the time we got to year 40 we'd probably have the technology to send one to overtake it (only slightly facetious).

Bought way back in August 1929:

Annual Total Return: 9.1%
Annual Real Total Return: 5.9%

Bought in January 1987, held for a realistic 30 years:

Annual Total Return: 9.8%
Annual Real Total Return: 7.0%

There's always going to be some deviation, but over any given multi-decade holding period, you will generally end up with a predictable 5-9% annualized (inflation-adjusted) return. That is more than zero. My point stands: long-term investment in the S&P 500 can be reasonably expected to gain value faster than inflation.

If you're interested, here's a simulator that looks at historic market data. You'll note that even the lowest possible percentile of 30-year holding periods will still yield a 3.43% inflation-adjusted total return: https://dqydj.com/sp-500-historical-return-calculator-popout...
Small government conservative here, too! And it's not nearly that simple.

"Religious liberty," especially in the context of the American founders, is the freedom to practice your faith privately in whatever manner you wish, and to speak about that faith publicly without fear or persecution. It is not the freedom to impose your religious mores on other people who do not share your religion, or even those who do. To imply otherwise is to bastardize what this country was founded on and does a disservice to the founders.

If you want government to stop meddling in marriage, I hope you're fighting against tax breaks and other marriage incentives just as hard as you are against allowing two people you'll never meet to enjoy the same recognition straight people do.
I reported numbers for the Volt, but the Volt's battery definitely doesn't last several hours, so the effect is even more negligible.
I don't get your point. I also think choice is overrated when it comes to treatment. Having a treatment is more important.
> about 20% of the population could not cope with a map that wasn't aligned with the direction they were going

That's me. I have a tough time orienting maps in my head. I still use a mnemonic for compass directions and (occasionally) use my left hand as an L to make sure I'm not screwing it up.

I don't know if there is any research into what the structural differences of brains that suffer from this might be, let alone if there is a name for it.
Maybe it's just me but I found the constant in-line plugs for the book to be distracting -- footnotes would have been better.

Interesting write-up though
... the red states are full of politicians who say all the right backwards things on social issues and then follow it up with the false mantra of "personal accountability," which is a coded phrase which means "rob you blind." The "elite" don't have enough people to vote their guys into power. They need willful idiots.

Sam Brownback didn't happen in Kansas because the city dwellers wanted him in power. His disaster of an administration happened because he demonstrated that he understood all of the phobias his constituents have been fed for over a generation now.

I've always wondered this. Why can't we just appoint specific people who have specific rights? Some people never get married — why can't they give a friend access to their property when they pass away? Or the ability to visit them in the hospital if they become injured?
What are you asking his advice for?

I'm not a VC industry insider, but I've spent enough time in the industry as a peon analyst to see the industry for what it is. I've written before about how nearly all VC partners are ridiculously conservative bandwagoners (they only invest if someone else invests), with the sole (to my knowledge) exception being Marc Andreessen. There might be other exceptions out there, but the thing I always admired about him is his ability to fully commit to a business without any social proof. And I believe that this attribute is what makes him successful. If you are taking his advice on whether to invest in something, it's probably worth the $100.

Never worked with him personally, but I'm sure his business advice is gonna be pretty sound even if I don't know how it rates relative to other VCs. But I think the real point is that it is important to know what you're asking him about before anybody can tell you if it is a good idea. You wouldn't ask him about plumbing, right?
Something was off about the swearing for me as well. Kept distracting me while reading the book. I’m perfectly OK with Bruce Willis foul mouthing his bloody way through a skyscraper. But for me this astronaut’s fucks are unimaginative, emotionally dull and repeating ad nauseam. I am reminded of Tourette syndrome.
It's closer to 10%, but that just makes having a fluid and easy editing experience more important IMO. Editing tasks are interruptions at that level, and you want to make it as easy and quick as possible to get your mental models re-loaded into short-term memory.
It's worth noting that the figure of $110000 was not mentioned in the referenced message, so probably Peter Gutmann was thinking at a different scale when he wrote "a nation-state's worth of resources".

You're right, this would really alter the dynamics of a PhD. As is, it takes ~2-3 years since the end of experiments and beginning of writing of an article until the that article is actually released and printed. Granted, this varies by field a tremendous amount, but lets just call it ~2.5 years of 'publication hell' on the average for an article. If you were to add into this the need for confirmation, you are adding in not only the time it takes to re-run the experiments, but also the time it takes to draft them up and go through another shorter round of 'publication hell'. Lets call that 6 more months of experiments and 6 more months of publication hell. Then you have ~3.5 years of sitting on the data and the experiments since you last touched the bench with that experiment.

Many PhD programs have requirements for the number of first-author papers you must publish to get your degree. I know of one that requires 3 first-author papers to graduate, granted a little high. Running with these very loosey-goosey numbers: Say your experiments work well and only take 6 months to preform. That's then a total of 4 years just for the first paper to get out, no sooner. As you are working on the drafts, you also preform another experiment immediately after finishing the last one , so lets call it 9 months for the added time it takes to get the last one typed up. Now we are at 1 year and 3 months with 2 successful experiments and some progress of getting the first experiment into publication. Lets do that again, and you are at 2 full years and some progress on your first and second papers. That means at a minimum, you then can get out of grad school, with the new confirmation studies to do, at ~5.5 years out. That is not too bad, right?

Now what happens when that first study was not repeatable and you have to start over? That means you have to do another experiment starting the ~3.5 year process all over in your 4th year. Now we are at 7.5 year total. What happens when the last experiment is non-repeatable? You have to do another experiment starting at year 5.5, for at total of then 9 years in grad school minimum. And yes, you can be trying for 4th and 5th papers this whole time, lessening the time in school, but each also has some chance of failure.

And this is only if you are running experiments all day and they only take 6 months total to do successfully, even the repeats and new studies that don't fail you more than once; the re-do of the last one is successful and also does not fail.

Yes, these number are a bit out-of-the-hat, but I think we can all see that the length of stay in grad school either must increase by a lot, or the required number of papers must decease by a lot, if they are to be required at all. Either way, you are not getting much education while some lab elsewhere (maybe your competitors) is sitting there trying to replicate your experiments with some unknown amount of success or efforts to do so and you are just waiting and praying that you don't get screwed into a decade of grad school.
Thanks—seriously appreciated!
I don't understand how that answers it. How does that make "government oversight of marriage in a way that restricts who can get married" consistent with "freedom" and "smaller government"?

I believe homosexuality is wrong based on my religion, and by extension, gay marriage, and I don't appreciate the liberal majority on this website brow beating me with their politics when it has nothing to do even tangentially with technology.
I've used vim and emacs. I can't claim to be an expert on either, but I am somewhat comfortable with vim and it can be convenient for any unix straight out of the box. But I found it to be fairly overrated even with all these claims of boost in productivity. Just use Sublime Text in this day and age and use the spare time you would've had to learn vim and do something more useful.
You don't understand the fingerprint argument. For the specific SHA-1 attack, it's possible to detect, while calculating the SHA-1 hash of an object, whether the bit pattern indicative of this specific attack is present. This is done automatically, without needing any human intervention. This is one of the things which Google released immediately as part of their announcement.

The other thing which people seem to miss is that it requires 6,500 years of GPU computation for the _first_ phase of the SHA1 attack, and 110 years of the GPU compatation for the _second_ phase of the attack. You need to do both phases in order successfully carry out this attack. And even if you do, Google released code so that someone can easily tell if the object they were hashing was one created using this parituclar attach, which required 6,500 + 110 years of GPU computation.

But alas, it's a lot more fun to run around screaming that the sky is falling.....

It is not silly. People carry necesities of life while traveling, but there have been deadly plages since there has been long distance traveling too.

It is imposible to know in advance everything any traveler might have on their person at the time of crossing the border, so everything that is not explicitly whitelisted should not be forbidden by default; and it is travelers duty to know the list of permitted things well in advance. It this is not the case right now, it means airlines and travel agencies are externalizing the cost of educating their customers, and this is reflected in the form of needless risks to public health.

I don't know you, but I would hate to be a farmer that looses the family's apple orchard to a foreign parasite that got introduced by some dumb tourist, just because the fat-cat air industy need to sale cheap tickets to anyone with a pulse and cannot afford to send a damned brochure to the buyers' address.

It's the other way around: you need to prove that what he says is merely feel-good baloney.

Otherwise, every person is insincere, including both yourself and I.

Side anecdote: While I haven't met and talked with the guy in person, I know a person who has. Her impressions of him was that he was an honest man who cared about his country.

The copy editor is a sore point with me. It's getting more and more common for me to run across jarring errors in novels. I don't mind so much if it's a digital-only 99 cent Kindle book, but if I spend six bucks on a book I don't expect to see duplicate sentences or incorrect word choice. "Tow the line", for example, or "then" when "than" would be correct.

Nobody is accusing him of being unlawful or outside his rights to endorse him. Nor, as far as I'm aware, has he been deprived on any right by that association.

It seems you have an issue with people speaking out against him. He chose to publicly support Trump, he could've voted and contributed behind closed doors like most other wealthy people. He chose to make his opinion public because he understands that he is influential and he hoped to exert that influence, but you can't have it both ways.

That's a clever debate tactic - declaring that comments which disagree with you are uncivil, by the mere virtue of disagreeing with you.
If anything it proves how much mismanagement / wasted potential software organizations have had in the last 20 years. Full automation should be the natural progression of our trade but I fear most companies stall after 5ish years due to turnover, brain-drain, re-organizations, acquisitions, management incompetency etc. Google on the other hand has always had a seemingly never ending pool of resources and talent to keep pushing the barrier further. Fortunately they give a lot back to the community in the form of books, talks, and projects such as Kubernetes (a poor man's Borg). However I fear that with all things commercial it will lead to an oligarchy where companies like Google, Facebook, and Uber, are just that far ahead of the curve nobody else will ever catch up.

Feross, thanks very much for writing simple-peer! I used it to enable a server-cluster that acts as a WebRTC -> UDP proxy for my MMO game written in Golang. I am using electron-webrtc to run it under nodejs, which probably means about a gigabyte of overhead in total, but given the AWC EC2 pricing structure, I was doomed to be paying for more RAM that I plan on needing, so that turns out to be a non-issue for me.

As I was working on getting electron-webrtc running on my AWS Ubuntu instance, it occurred to me that it should be relatively easy (in other words, probably hours of tedious work) to abstract out the dependencies for everything that isn't required for only running WebRTC DataConnection. (I could produce a list of libraries to shim with placeholders. Call it 'drtc'?) If you are willing to give me some pointers, I'm willing to do the scut-work. (Contact info in my HN profile.)
