Now the real question is what's the MTTF for it.
Since it's a solid polymer in place of the electrolyte, it would seem like tendrils of lithium cannot be created as there is no electrolyte, and thus, battery degradation might be less problematic, unless, of course, the polymer breaks down over time.

A Tesla being able to go over 500 miles on a single charge if this really can get to market (and the materials should be relatively inexpensive to boot).
Sure I can, but they're all unrealistic so no point mentioning them. We could for example start boycotting companies that don't take security seriously. But I'm afraid we'd end up with a very, very long list.

Publicity can work wonders. You end-up with sensitive data for kids in the wild, possibly in the hands of perverts, nothing could work better than that in raising awareness for the general public. It's harsh, but it fucking works. So we'll stick with it for now, unless someone comes with a better idea.
It seems that Uber has strong correlation between "abusive" and "seen as high performer".
Hey there. Author of the article here. Flipkart implement a version of the PRPL pattern in production :) We've worked with them quite a bit in the past and I gave a talk with them on their architecture at Chrome Dev Summit last year in case you're interested in learning more about what they're doing.
That can be secured with DNS-Sec, leading to DANE. It is often suggested as either an addition or replacement for the CA system.

However, this is basically the CA system in disguise. Instead of trusting CAs, we need to trust domain servers. Thing is, domain servers tend to be controlled by governments even more so than CAs.
There are some other issues with the technical implementation of DNS-sec, though I do not recall them at this moment.
Bayesian inference based on what evidence?
Same way politician candidates often acquire some military background. It builds their profile and they have something to tell stories about. It doesn't really matter what they actually did there.

In modern times, most people at least in the US doesn't have military experience and they tend to give it a somewhat mythical status. Those who do, can feel that the candidate relates to them.

So it can be an rhetoric for anything "you know, the time was I went around moon, this happened, which made me realize that x is more important than y". No-one can really discount that experience easily or politely since they haven't done that, and somewhat more admirable and mythical than creating a social networking website.
That picture of Singhal peaking around the corner was very apropos.

Sure. If you're a React/Webpack fan, take a look at https://github.com/GoogleChrome/preload-webpack-plugin/tree/.... Twitter.com also just shipped a PWA using the PRPL pattern to production if you take a look at their mobile web app on Android (or via DevTools Device Mode) in case you're looking for something more complex to dive into.
I think, he was mostly joking, but it might actually be the case. Sounds like they want to keep the Pocket company intact as it is, just as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Mozilla Corporation and with everything open-sourced. So, Pocket as a company should continue to try to make a revenue and if they do, that revenue goes upwards into the Mozilla Corporation (and from there upwards into the Mozilla Foundation, if the non-profit nature allows it).

There's also Callahad commenting in this thread, who, as far as I'm aware, is a Mozilla employee. And well, he sort of confirmed that this is a move to diversify Mozilla's income streams:

>bearcobra 12 hours ago [-]

>Does this mark a strategy shift away from search revenue as the primary funding source? A quick crunchbase search for other aquicisions by Mozilla yeilded nothing, so I'm curious if there are other examples of them buying up for-profits.

>>callahad 12 hours ago [-]

>>Mozilla is actively working to diversify its sources of funding; the greatest step in that was when we switched from a global default of Google search to smaller, regional deals with Yahoo, Google, Yandex, and Baidu toward the end of 2014.

I'm now in week 4 of the first round of this MOOC (here: http://course.fast.ai/ ) and it's incredibly intuitive, highly recommended. It's less about the mathematics, more about what has been proven to work, and based on these scores I've gotten quite high in the Kaggle competitions the classes go through (Cats & Dogs, State Farm, Titanic)

The Jupyter noteboks are sometimes still quite messy and deserve some cleanup, but it's all open anyway, should submit a PR...

The Bluecoat sales people did a number on you huh? Sounds really good until you ask 'why doesn't Bluecoat understand this traffic' - because it really should.
Even with improvements, there are often much better options than JavaScript. If you aren't going web or had a limited talent pool/codebase to economize in a mobile app or server (React Native/Node), why would you choose JS? Why not C# (windows, games) or a nice functional language (Wall Street) or Python (ML)? In fact, from all I've experienced so far (as a researcher at MSR and now at HARC), it seems like JavaScript is either the only option, or not an option at all. The choice is pretty clear, especially as you move away from web and web-like mobile applications where JavaScript otherwise dominates or at least is viable.

There will never be one language, and honestly, learning languages is never really the bottleneck anyways (rather learning the domain and applicable libraries are). A single language to rule them all might boost industry productivity by .1 or .2%, maybe, but I doubt it.
This was an exciting time because you could tune a radio to the clock frequency to detect crashes!
He's loose with his wording, but he makes a clear distinction between "borrow and invest in infrastructure" vs "borrow and refund wealthy people"

> Now, government borrowing can still be justified if it serves an important purpose: Interest rates are still very low, and borrowing at those low rates to invest in much-needed infrastructure is still a very good idea, both because it would raise productivity and because it would provide a bit of insurance against future downturns.
How will Elon get us to the moon if Tesla is burning up all of his money? [1]

I think ultimately you end up having to have a web of trust, but this assumes that the devices of the people in your web have not been compromised (backdoored apps and/or crypto libs).
I have a Macbook Pro 2015 from my job and I'm really not fond of it. The machine itself is nice and I like the keyboard but I hate the OS. We do all our work inside Docker containers running Linux, all our infra runs on Linux but we work on OSX.

It's not the worst thing in the world but it just seems unnecessary when running the OS we target is just as simple.
Uhh, what do you do for sites that don't offer HTTP? Many sites force a 301 redirect when hit on HTTP, and won't downgrade.
I also was/am a frequent Pocket user. But the removal of features (also pointed out by others here) and on the other hand the addition of the recommendation/feed thingy left me wondering where Pocket was headed.

Pocket for me was my archive of things for which I would love to have a great diversity of searching, clustering and organising tools. The addition of recommendation of things I may like is nice, but not a core feature for me - my content is.

I also tried Wallabag [0] which looks promising but hasn't the ecosystem around it yet. So I'm exited to see where this open sourcing of Pocket will lead us. ;-)

> Usually phrased as “I don’t know my password it is in a password manager which I can’t access.” Or, “there is 2FA setup and I don’t have my second factor.” Or other similar technicality. This approach seems to be based on the belief that the password itself is the ultimate goal of the system, when it has been clearly stated that the goal is access to the content of the digital device or the social media account as a requirement for entry into the US.

So what is the recommended solution then if I use a password manager? I don't know any of my passwords and for most websites I'd need the password manager on my laptop to login. Should I reset my social media passwords to a password that I can remember before traveling, so that I'm able to surrender the password if asked at the border?

That's exactly why politics is a mind killer. The sad thing is, you either have to join this idiocy or accept that your opinions will have negligible impact, because asking people to think in probabilities for half a second loses the competition with strongly-worded soundbites.

These are American (and Canadian?) rules.

The British rules that differ are:

> As an exception to the above, a year like 2001, is spoken as two thousand and one, not as 20-01.

The vast majority of the time, but 20-01 is certainly understood, and is becoming more common as we progress through the century. (20-09 is more common than 20-01.)

Possibly because 2001 has an extra word in British English: "two thousand and one" rather than "two thousand one".

> Times like 3:45 are spoken in numerous ways, like 3-45, quarter to 4, 15-45 if afternoon, or possibly even 15 to 4.

Fifteen minutes to four. "Minutes" is usually excluded for 5, 10, 20 and 25, and nothing else.

But, there's usually a preferred choice of which way the time should be spoken, e.g. I can finish work at quarter past five, and take the seventeen thirty train home, which arrives at seventeen fifty-two, I'll be home by six.

> When giving an address, 386 Maple is said as 3-86 Maple, not as 3-8-6 nor the long the way.

So American! More than any of the others, should one want to sound British, don't say this.

In Britain, it's always either "three hundred and eighty six, Maple Street" or "three, eight, six, Maple Street".

> When speaking a series of digits, 0 can be said as oh or zero; in many contexts, oh is much more common.

Also nought, as in 0.003005, "nought point nought nought three oh oh five" (yes, really).

"Nil" for football, "we lost three - nil".

(And the dates, prices and measurements are all slightly different. Briefly, it's "the twenty-eighth of February" or [less common] "February the twenty-eighth", the "of" or "the" are essential. "One pound thirty", never like "a dollar thirty", and "fifty" pence/pee never "half". Either metric measurements, or a preference for different units if using traditional measurements -- stone over pounds for body weight, yards over feet for distances.)

This is apparently a problem when bluecoat is used in non-mitm mode. That probably means bluecoat is merely inspecting the initial handshake, not modifying it. That would imply it can't actually modify the handshake.

It then simply inspects a connection it doesn't understand and 'fails closed' by preventing that connection.

This reads like a summary of what most are already doing. I can't shake the feeling some of these wisdoms could trendy things that are just part of the herd mentality that plagues UI design.

Other examples:

* Social media share-buttons
* Hard to find login links and just have prominent sign-up links
* Extra 3rd party toolbars
* Interrupting modal email sign-up boxes on a timer
* Autoplay video

Each of these things (maybe) have a place, but there sure is a lot of "me too" going on as well.

> I am pretty sure Dragon does not have enough delta-v to do a full propulsive landing on the moon.

The information I'm finding on the internet suggests Dragon 2 should run around 400 m/s of delta-V (it only needs on the order of 200 m/s to go from terminal velocity aerobraking to landed on Earth).

TLI to LLO is 800 m/s, and I'd guess that a Circumlunar return trajectory to LLO transfer would be on that order -- which is already out of the Dragon 2's range and you're only trying to get into orbit on the Moon, not return, and definitely not land or take off again.

Its close enough though that a beefed up Dragon 3 might be able to dock with some kind of space station and refueling dock in lunar orbit, then you just need to have a lunar ferry (Apollo sorta downsized all of this and crammed it all on top of a Saturn V for one-time use -- I'm thinking a bit bigger for the whole system and more cough reusable...)
And then these students tell me that in China what they did wouldn't be considered cheating. And then they come to work as graduate students and visiting scholars, and tell me that what they did wouldn't be considered violations of academic integrity.

i was about to say that these events could make for a great teaching moment, but these are lessons we've been given many many many chances to learn. i'll settle for us once again avoiding eating ourselves alive as a species, and hopefully we avoid eating some scapegoat subset of us alive while we're at it.
While I agree that we should spend more on infrastructure, that too is a political argument (deciding what's "an important purpose").

Krugman has every right to express his political views, but it should be clear that he's doing so.
I actually think today we'd be in a better situation if NASA had stopped there and didn't land on the moon (in the 1960s). Here's my reasoning:

(1) It's much easier to orbit the moon than to land on it.

(2) Both the US and the USSR had the capability to send many people on orbital flights around the moon.

(3) With both the US and USSR orbiting the moon, the space race wouldn't have ended (because both had the same capability and neither had put a flag on the surface).

(4) Once both countries are orbiting the moon for a few years, at some point in the 1970s one or the other would have made a landing.

(5) Both great powers would be competing incrementally in the same space, but at the same time it's not a situation which could have plausibly lead to a war, so it would have been safe for humanity.

Digital natives are becoming increasingly dependent upon connectivity, the benefits to society of which are obvious. And a digitally-connected society is critical for the development of Smart Cities, the useful deployment of the Internet of Things (IoT), the growth of predictive analytics, and the future of the digital economy itself.

But of course, where connectivity brings convenience it brings challenges, especially in the area of personal data. Here, the challenge is about more than just a privacy concern. Every user signing on to a new Internet service creates for themselves a unique user account every time, surrendering some form of their personal data in the process. As a result, a few hundred, if not a few thousand equivalent accounts are created by each of us in our lifetimes; more and more as IoT expands. Fragmentation will eventually lead to consolidation - but that's also a mess, potentially leading to the creation of illegal data markets, deterrance in app creation, monopolisation of the digital economy, the marginalisation of entire populations of the market, crippling cyber security vulnerability, and subjection of the digital self to costly dispersal and ageing.

We've put together a paper that discusses the challenges of a connected digital economy from a personal data standpoint, and proposes a best practice of individually-owned, private data accounts in the form of ‘microserver’ containers, as a solution to the challenges we will face in the coming years and decades.
I really don't see the problem here. They likely need an anchor for enough conversation to "vet" a person's story. If someone is utterly clueless about their stated career, it should be a red flag enough for some further questioning.

Folks have a hair trigger about being offended by this sort of thing but it seems completely reasonable to me.
> Do people actually get work and jobs out of LinkedIn? Or is is just a way to keep up with what old coworkers are doing?

Yes because yes. When I last looked for a job, I poked around LinkedIn to see who was working at companies that I found interesting, got a former co-worker to refer me for his new place, and got a job there.
Always accompany search box with magnifying-glass icon

After, what, twenty-five years of exposure to this particular symbolism - or did it use to bee binoculars? - I still struggle to make the connection whenever I see it. Magnify what? Zoom where? It always takes me a second or two to get, many, many times a day.

My mental model of a search goes the other way: I wish to zoom out, get a bird's eye perspective.

The loupe iconograhy may be great and perfect. I may be the only human not to get it. Am I?
Observational. Reality has to add up to a coherent whole, so I imagine a sufficiently smart AI getting a good picture of it through just observing a lot.
Yeah, but it's limited because process monitor stores its output in memory (from what I can see) even though if you use a backing file other than the swap file.

I use this tool all the time!

I really wish there was a command line version that is divorced from the GUI that you can pipe to another process or file. This might be as close as any I've found so far!

> Sounds like a politically correct way of saying "you screwed up but the other guy had a 51% chance to do something that would have avoided the outcome but you had 49%."

I didn't take it that way at all. It's very likely civilian is just a more defensive driver who understands a lot of risks can be minimized through awareness and the choices one makes.
I think there is some herd mentality on design trends, but overall with UI patterns it's actually useful to follow certain standardized patterns so you don't have to train the user that much.

All of the things you described are not really any good UI or design patterns, but probably something from a "growth hacker", that were a/b tested and increased engagement metrics, so they got added. They didn't get added because someone saw them somewhere else, or the designer really wanted to add social media sharing buttons, 3rd party toolbars or interrupting the user with useless stuff.
