> But what is that financial security for if you might not be around to enjoy it?

It changes your whole outlook on life. When there is a reasonable amount of financial security, one can truly focus on the important things without considering money in the decisions. Many caveats apply of course, such as still maintaining good "financial hygiene".

I'd strongly suggest at least trying one's best at getting up to $100k in investments plus a cash buffer and see how life is different!

> You should live life as you go, not by

Everybody has a different way to live life, but phrasing things this way makes it sound like you've already closed off listening to potential benefits of others' point of view.

The article doesn't seem to speak about directivity. Sending a narrow, directed beam of information could reduce contention issues, and reduce power requirements. But you'd need a more advanced antenna (probably an array), more advanced signal processing, and smarter software.

For context, this is describing an updated AES-GCM-SIV construction following a number of attacks reported by NSA earlier this year:

https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/attach/cfrg/pdfL0pM_N.pdf

Several cryptographers have been wary of this construction, both because of the history of attacks and also because it generally hasn't lived up to the goals of (nonce) "misuse resistant authenticated encryption" as described in the seminal Rogaway paper on the matter:

https://eprint.iacr.org/2006/221.pdf

It will be interesting to see more analysis on the latest version. For the intended use case (QUIC ticket encryption) it would be helpful.
Trump's Director of National Intelligence Is on the Wrong Side of Surveillance
It does depend on the regional court to some degree, but many urban jurisdictions these days make a presumption of joint custody and look at the income disparity to determine the child support and/or alimony formula. There's no sex-preference involved beyond what you bring to the case (did she stay at home for maternity leave? Did he take paternity leave? How did the parenting responsibilities split?)

Canada in particular has some challenges around vagueness with "best interests of the child" as the main focus of separation and customary and access cases... but for 20 years now there is almost no reason two partners wouldn't get joint access/custody 50-50 if one of them wants it and has shown past interest in parenting + doesn't have evidence of violent/absuive conduct. You'd have to fight for it potentially, if your former partner wants sole custody, but that's a very high bar to prove. court is potential great cost, but you would probably settle to 50/50 beffore it went to trial once reality sinks with your ex.

Okay, once again I try to find an example from my code, and once again it turns out that Rust makes it simple in the simple case, but the more complex cases are still confusing.

If I change the test value Some("zh".to_string()) into Some("zh"), it points to that line and tells me:

expected struct `std::string::String`, found &str

Sure, it's a different situation because the value is wrapped in an Option. But if String and &str are truly compatible, I would never expect to see that error message.

>Some researchers have estimated that the lifetime health care costs for smokers are lower than for non-smokers. In the models these researchers used, the health care cost savings attributed to smokers' premature death from smoking-associated illnesses more than offset their higher annual medical costs.39,40 Other analysts have found the reverse—that although smokers do, on average, die earlier than people who have never smoked, this 'saving' in terms of medical expenditures does not fully offset their higher medical costs—the lifetime medical costs for smokers are higher than for non-smokers.

This is a fairly settled issue in finance AFAIK, but to the arguments.

When doing math in finance, we need to be explicit about the precision we use, because we're counting finite things. Things like significant figures and rounding matter, and can't be ignored by imagining we have an "infinite precision" that throws away information, as floating point math does.

Using fixed-point decimal math as default helps mitigate this class of mistakes in this domain. It's similar to using a memory safe language outside embedded programming- if there's no value in the other option, and it's a source of bugs, eliminate it.

NB: Using fixed-point decimal math is similar to the advice to use integers, though it's a bit more flexible (eg keeping amounts in "BTC" with a fixed 8 decimal places instead of "satoshis").

Facebook is Facebook. Slack isn't Facebook, and neither is every other business besides Facebook Facebook decided to rewrite PHP because the CBA worked out for Facebook - that doesn't mean the argument holds true by default for any other situation.

I'm experiencing the same problem on iOS. If i keep a finger on the screen and try to scroll gradually as I read, then it jitters. If I just scroll then release, read, scroll then release, etc. it is smooth.

One approach for this that I haven't really seen get used much that you can use a macro to get around this. In your comboluator.rs, just add this at the bottom of the file:

#[cfg(test)]
Mod tests {
include!("comboluator_tests.rs");
}

Then write your tests there. It allows you to write unit tests against private things, but also allows you to decouple the files to keep things cleaner.

This still seems not to [try to] answer the really hard question - how does a bunch of quarks and electrons go from mindlessly following the laws of physics to saying »Look, we are a bunch of quarks and electrons!«? I admittedly found it somewhat hard at times to follow the argument of the article, but in the end it seems to argue that consciousness is just one of many models embedded in our brain, more specifically a metamodel of the other models. But, assuming that I did not misunderstand the argument, that seems not to help much to explain how the laws of physics manage to reflect on themselves and bring the the awareness of existence into existence.
Racism and sexism are by default perpetuated by the oppressive group, especially at an institutional level (I'm not so arrogant to delve into other's individual issues). Yes, people of color can be color-biased and women can be gender-biased, but I think it's exceptional see a person of color or woman using their status within a system to subjugate a white man in America. For every verifiable example where that's true there are disproportionately more examples white men subjugating women and people of color (intentionally/maliciously or not) simply because of privilege granted by the racist/sexist system. As a black man, I imagine that's difficult for a white person to take in without getting defensive, but there are literally powerful white men on the record throughout our country's existence stating that the system was built for white men.

Do writers 'actually' follow this kind of a structured process? I thought the ink just flows when in the mood!...atleast that's what happens with me, when I want to write. Else, I need to learn this process.
I believe it's not the instruction set they have patents on per se, but rather on how to implement it efficiently.
I don't think a patent would have helped here. Patents take years to be granted (if they are granted), around $7-$10k to file unless you're experienced in writing them, and then you would be attempting to sue internationally against a country which doesn't recognize your patent.

Kickstarter might be able to do better with user risk education, I'm not familiar with their onboarding enough to know what they do. In this specific case, I think it's mostly on the entrepreneur to recognize the tradeoffs when using a low cost service in a country where the rule of law is weaker or enforced in ways you don't understand. Sometimes, despite that research, you still get ripped off.

What happened, if true, is unfortunate. Hopefully publicized cases like these will lead prototypers to make better decisions.
I think you have to compare using equal programmer effort if you have two languages that in principle allow you to produce any instruction sequence you like. You don't see performance critical applications (the stuff supercomputers run for example) written in Assembly, even though in theory you might be able to squeeze out a little more performance when Fortran and a good compiler gets you almost as far for much less money.
I agree with you. The interesting question in the discussion was how you weigh panic, economic cost, and human cost. I hope that we'll get to see the decision tree they used at some point.
But is it avoidable?
No which is why scientific facts are considered temporary.

Also any deep dive into how hard it is to say anything objective is making it very clearly that the only thing fhat block objectivity is the lack of its existence.
Why? I mean, to what end?
Seems unlikely, since Zelda and other games are also available as a digital download (although you may need a microSD card to hold them all).

One of the odd upsides to being Northern Irish is that everybody here gets both a British and an Irish passport if they want one.

With the Irish passport, you will have an easier time getting into and travelling between many countries, but if things go south, the UK passport may help in getting out of the Country.

This will become more prominent after Brexit, as Northern Irish citizens will still be able to move and work freely throughout the EU with their Irish passport, whilst retaining the benefits of their British one (unless a United Ireland happens).
But that is self evident. The problem is that it doesent lead us anywhere.
That's pointless though and our brains will know it.
Ios has a ui thread and a separate thread for application logic. React native makes good use of this to make applications silky smooth.

In Web land, the overhead of communication with workers is costly that it makes sense to do things in main thread. Preact had an worker diffing implementation but that was slower.

We once had to unzip on worker and pass to main thread, it was faster just to do it on UI thread.

>fact is that the consciousness is still there.

There is a small problem with this claim. Or, at least there is a problem if you happen to believe in popperian philosophy of science that says that claims that are not falsifiable are non-scientific.

Obviously, from popperian point of view that claim is about as unfalsifiable as is the claim that God created earth and everything on it. Which may be true or may be not, but the claim is not a claim in the scientific realm but in religious realm, and I would be a bit vary to consider claims in religious (or non-scientific if that is a bit less sensitive word) realm "facts".

I mean, it feels obvious that I have conscience, but how do you prove or disprove that claim? I have no idea. It feels obvious that earth is flat, but there are ways to prove that wrong.
That's a self-defeating proposition; the more people accept it, the less likely it is to get fixed within their lifetime. The more people object to it (and do something about that), and the more broad cultural acceptance exists for a solution, the more likely it is to get fixed. Imagine a world where all the memes, mindsets, and casual empty aphorisms about death didn't exist; how much more urgently might people treat the problem in that world?

That said, it's also the kind of concept that needs some amount of introduction and background, to avoid "future shock".
It's true, but it's so obvious, and obviously the entire point of the technology, that I wonder why anyone would bother remarking on it.
That's so funny. I actually do have a story about alfafa(which I will narrate separately after this).

First: I agree. Automation of driving is important but so is tech in farming. Like I said before, it's not a competition. Why not both? My gripe is that they want to get to farming automation after driving automation is perfected. Which seems wrong to me because they are looking at farm bot tech as a vehicle. As a farmer, I feel that it's entirely wrong approach. But that's my experience and opinion. Ymmv.

Secondly: farm production is semi automated for commodity food production. Can you live on grain alone? Can you live on sugar alone? Soy and corn are produced for livestock feed and for ethanol.

You say human labour is cheaper than machines. It makes me cringe. What about the human potential of the Mexican labourers picking strawberries and destroying his health? What about the thousands of farmer children who are sick from pesticide residue and dust pollution from excessive tilling? What about thousands of farmers and neighbours with asthma and auto immune disease just because they live in a rural area that gets tilled hence releasing fungal soil spores and orchards are sprayed.

Food and it's production is cheap only because the terrible price we pay for it is invisible.

You see the human potential being saved because of drivers autonomous cars can do something else. I see human potential being saved when a labourers doing repetitive manual tasks bent over and their spines vibrating from tractor driving(which btw isn't cheap..) are free to do other things. People who don't own state subsidied massive farms or have money to buy their own land are bonded labour. It is no different from slave labour.

Farmers aren't interested in it because no one has presented them with a viable produce. If I had a row crawling weeder, I will produce more and make more money. If I am presented with a million dollar automated tractor that I don't understand, can't afford and won't fully replace all my labour needs, why would I even look at it?

There isn't enough done for ag tech and what is being done isn't appropriate technology. Farmers are the 'technical lead' because what we know about soil ecology and plants and methods is the technical nuts and bolts. MBAs and money guys and engineers are designing and creating farm tech which when I showed to real farmers invited peals of laughter. It's just not appropriate tech because engineers are not farmers. We speak different languages.

And food production IS a problem. We bring in a lot. California feeds a lot of USA and we are paying for it..a terrible price. Florida grows tomatoes on sand and pesticides. The rest of USA will pay for it.

Ok. Alfalfa story coming up. It's not a funny story but rather an outrageous one. Sorry..I have some pending chores and will be back with it soon! Watch this space!

A pre-nuptual agreement has nothing to do with your children's statuatory rights, that's correct, but also completely fair - they're a new human and your earnings are now their's.

As for discovery, hearings, etc, this just whittles away the value of the estate and is in neither party's interest. Most cases settle for this reason.

My phone doesn't do 5GHz, but other than that, 5GHz is significantly better until you get about 3-5 walls between you and the router.

In general, 5GHz is way better for apartments (less channel congestion, apartments are usually smaller than houses), and 2.4GHz is better for non-urban houses (better wall penetration).

For urban houses (I can see 15+ 2.4GHz networks from my living room; in a larger city it could be worse), the best bet is to have 2 or more APs and connect them with ethernet if possible, and powerline otherwise. My cable internet comes in the house in the corner of the house, and is under a different roof a-frame than the rest of the house (a previous owner built living space above the garage), so I can't run ethernet through the attic, and I use powerline adapters; there's a separate subpanel for this area too, but I still get minimum 30Mbps over the powerline, which is good enough for web/e-mail.

My next step is to see if any outlets under the main roof get good signal over the powerline, and then run ethernet throughout the attic; then I can have several routers throughout the house.

I use TP-Link APs running OpenWRT; they are cheap and OpenWRT lets you adjust the power down. If you aren't cost-constrained, I've heard almost nothing bad about Ubiquity.
What is the reality?
It uses 2 5Ghz channels and 1 2.4ghz channel.

I think you've decided to believe the system is somehow against you. It's really not.
Not "a majority," "the government". It happens to be the case that the government in the US is (in theory, and usually in practice) majority rule, but in a monarchy, the ruler has the unilateral right to decide who gets to participate in the market or not.

If you don't think this is legitimate, two questions:

1. Is it legitimate for the government to restrict foreign participation in markets, or to place rules like tariffs on their participation?

2. Was it inappropriate for the greater military force in the US in the 1860s to decide that Southern plantation owners could not participate in the cotton market if they continued to use slave labor?

Is that a critique of the few sentences in the post you're replying to, or a considered rebuttal of your reading of the content of the book?
> If the client is moving >10MPH relative to a fixed AP (i.e. you're driving past the AP in your car), Wi-Fi doesn't handle that well. Your movement creates Doppler shift in your RF signal, which Wi-Fi can't adjust for (vs. e.g. LTE which does).

Perhaps current-generation WiFi has more of an issue with that, but I've helped build systems that used a much older generation of WiFi in an ad-hoc (no AP) mode between nodes with a speed differential of Mach 1 (between a rocket and the ground). It worked fine, and lost almost no packets over the course of the flight.
If you option-click on the wifi symbol in the macOS menu bar, there's an option to access various diagnostic tools. One of them gives you channel recommendations as well.
Curious: how did you come up with that pricing?
