This makes me wonder if we'll be entering a legal world that's complex to the degree that only computers can understand it.
Because it does not rely on any 'authority'. The increasingly scary warnings by browser vendors is in stark contrast to zero interest in detecting MITMs and warning users. The next step could very well be the disabling the ability to add exceptions for self signed certs.

Why not promote content encryption or explore other ideas that do not rely on central authorities, and we can see there are always workaround for corporates but individuals are thrown under the bus.
Well, it doesn't solve any particular problem for me, I guess it is because I'm just a hobbyist not managing lots of GitHub repos and pull requests.

GROWTH: Everything You Need to Know Before You Can Grow Your Business
Radford Neal's expository paper [1] on HMC is a beautiful overview of the area, and honestly one of the most enlightening papers I've ever read. Conceptually, HMC really isn't that difficult. The broad idea is as follows:

Borrowing from statistical physics, it's possible to link energy and probability as E(x) = exp(-P(x)). So you can interpret your MCMC target as an "energy landscape". Highpoints in the landscape correspond to low probabilities in the target distribution, and valleys to high-probability regions.

Now add a source of kinetic energy (an auxiliary probability distribution), and think of your MCMC sampler as a hockey puck sliding frictionlessly through the energy landscape. Since kinetic + potential energy is conserved, it follows that you move through contours of your joint (target, auxiliary) distribution. That means you never have to reject a sample, regardless of how far the hockey puck travels.

This interpretation also shows why you need to use gradient information. To know where the hockey puck is going to move next, you need to know how steep the walls of your energy landscape are: that is, you need the gradient!

Browsers should add a button which allow being proxied, combined with a campaign to educate people on the difference.

I think its reasonable for a company to want to filter everything that comes through their pipe, if anything, it's a bit of a liability not to do it, but at the same time, non-technical people should understand that their connection is being unencrypted and re-encrypted, and be educated on the consequences.

There are a few local coffee shops which terminate SSL, and when people see me closing my browser and laptop, or starting to tether through my phone because of the cert error they tell me "oh, you just need to accept all those certs!".
> So the 8-hour work day, 5-day workweek wasn’t chosen as the way to work for scientific reasons; instead, it was partly driven by the goal of increasing consumption.

Money doesn't really work like that, unless you A. Saddle employees with debt or B. Boost short-term revenue so the company looks more attractive to investors.

Or is the idea that Ford would set an example so that the entire industry would start doing this, which benefits him more?

Keep in mind Ford also hired investigators to check up on his employees' morality:

> To qualify for his doubled salary, the worker had to be thrifty and continent. He had to keep his home neat and his children healthy, and, if he were below the age of twenty-two, to be married.

You could argue that Ford wanted model Protestants as employees because they increased productivity, but it's a more elaborate argument that just picking a quote or two. He may have done it for religious reasons.
It difficult to determine causality in these scenarios. Does your company have more female employees because female executives have created a less misogynistic, more welcoming culture? Or does it have more female execs because it has more female employees?

If you're operating a drone for commercial purposes you need a Private Pilot's License and UAS (Unmanned Aircraft Systems) certificate. This guy owns an aerial photography company but it's not clear if the drone use was hobbyist in nature or if he was getting footage of the event for commercial purposes. Regardless, if he's found criminally liable due to how he operated the drone, it's almost a certainty that the FAA will be coming after every license he has.

Defend Border Privacy
I like the article in general, however sometimes i think that an ideal solution in terms of design sometimes can't exist, I mean a program mostly grows after usage and gets many changes over time. sometimes something which was quite good, is now rusty and bad.

I mean at the moment I'm actually changing my code that was simple at first, but over time more and more things were added and it started to complex.
The thing I'm doing right now is getting rid of the complexity to add another future.
Well mostly I think a big problem is that many people actually think about the design too much, since the design of a program will eventuelly be changed anyway. What worked for me was design something that works in most cases and grow that path or throw it away if it sucks.

btw. I love what antirez did and does for the community of programmers.

I always use a redis client to teach people more about network programming in java. It's a extremly simple, but still powerful command set/protocol. I hope he can keep up his work.
Heaptrack v1 Release: First stable release of fast Linux heap memory profiler
There's an important thing that the article fails to mention: Fighting "Quantum with Quantum" might sound nice, but it's not only expensive, it doesn't work.

The idea here is to use so-called Quantum Key Distribution where photons are transmitted over a physical line and the laws of physics guarantee its security.

But there's a problem (ok, there are many problems): Quantum Key Distribution relies on an authenticated channel that is simply assumed to already exists. How do you get that authenticated channel? Nobody knows.

(Apart from that QKD would be hugely expensive, wouldn't work over wifi or mobile connections and would have pretty severe distance limits, which all make a "Quantum Internet" a ridiculous enterprise - but the authenticated channel really kills the whole thing as a solution for Quantum Computer attacks.)
GitHub has that feature too.
But it's a lot of context switching to edit the file, commit and return to your code review where you'll need to build the code architecture in your head again.

All of that is explained on the article.
I don't agree with this approach. It's interesting but I don't see how the nature of the work you're doing disqualifies you from charging for "research" even when you're NOT a hotshot.

We're still not 100% that they're reusable in a meaningful way that actually reduces costs.

it "works" is a very subjective and low threshold of efficiency. It works in that people struggle to deal with it.

Effects of dietary restriction on adipose mass/biomarkers of aging in human
One of things that come with experience is the ability to foresee the potential changes and ensure that, when possible (preferably during the initial spec phase) the solution is extensible/flexible enough to accommodate the most likely changes.

For a simple example, if you're asked to implement something like a blog, you would naturally be prepared to be asked for authentication, authorization, contact us forms, commenting, etc. If you're aware that there's a high probability of such a change request in the early phases (but not NOW), then that anticipation will usually result in better code.
We literally spend millions on licensing Share Point to do what WordPress can do much better and easier. I'm not saying we're going to start writing everything in PHP, but being able to experiment with WP could affect the bottom line in a big way.

I really doubt that. I can't imagine that the US and the UK for example, don't have sonar networks and other means to detect subs. It might be nearly impossible to track a boomer in open ocean, but they're not designed for littoral operations and sonar networks are much more effective there. You also have to cope with an airforce and patrolling navy.

All in all, you're mostly likely to nuke the nearby ocean, rendering it mostly a radiological/environmental weapon. When you consider that you can far more easily launch a combined 100MT in smaller payloads, with a higher resulting degree of destruction than a single 100MT warhead...

You are dramatically underestimating the complexity and difficulty of "w/ quality control stipulations".

I work in electronic device design. On a good project designing a complex device, 2/3 of the work will be iterations of design (software, electronic, mechanical, industrial). When you've finished designing it you've then got another 1/3 of getting it manufactured at a decent cost with a decent yield. And that's assuming that you have an existing relationship in China with a high end manufacturer. Weeks and weeks of trips out, production runs, implementation of QA.

Given that, how would you go about ensuring that what's coming out of a factory in China is actually up to scratch?

And even if you did, the processor on the Pi uses an unusual chip-on-chip technology that most board makers don't have the capability to build.

If killing the 40-hour work week means I'm now working six days a week instead of five, then long live the 40-hour work week.

Some people (myself included) need two days per week off work, except in special circumstances. We also need to be able to clock out of work and not feel bad about doing so just because we still have work. The worst thing about university to me was the feeling of always having more work to do. I understand avoiding the "I'm just working until the clock hand turns a little further" state, but often the cumulative effects of the proposed alternative are worse.

"Plants die at these temperatures and we don't have technology to counter that."

Actually, we do. Much of that heat is generated because of barren land. The barren land is so because of the regulations that aim to preserve as much of the outback as it is. You say there isn't technology, but one of the possible measures was available for thousands of years. Just plant massively on that land. There are desert plants that resist well enough in that kind of environment and will reduce the amount of heating.

Before starting on me with the dangerous consequences this may cause, just let me assure you that I'm well aware of the recurrent mass fires that occur in much of the continental Aussie and many other problems. I only wish to stress that there is something that can be tried out in the face of the kind of problems you pointed out to. Although I agree that human intervention carries significant aport in the global warming, I think though it merely accelerated a natural process that would have happened anyway. So maybe we don't have to stop doing something (fear-based, self-limiting approach) but try instead to understand and use these natural changes of our world (curiosity-based, exploratory approach). Let's embrace change, or at least give it a chance.
In its history of the 40-hour week, the article omits the substantial contribution of organized labor to fighting for shorter hours:
