[perhaps related] The late, great Roger Ebert wrote a book about rice cookers: "The Pot and How to Use It: The Mystery and Romance of the Rice Cooker". Like pretty much everything Ebert ever wrote, it's excellent:

I don't think it's offensive to point out that recruiting an enthusiastic, engaged, and talented cofounder is different for Elon Musk and Sam Altman than it is for the fledgling startup founder that is the standard reader of YC blog posts.

It would have been fine if he was just telling a story about his own life, but when he said "make sure you also have someone like Greg" it became fair to point out that he seems a little bit oblivious as to context.
I think I once read that only an exponentially small fraction of binary strings are valid BLC programs. In theory this means you could create shorter programs by merely enumerating valid BLC programs, which is bothersome. Is this a correct characterization and do you see a fix?

It could probably be done.. using Linux or something that cannot easily get a virus, a fake name, fake information, a non-permanent email address, a browser like Tor, a proxy to hide your IP address, etc. I'm sure less than 1% of all Internet users actually go through these extremes, but I'd be willing to bet there is a person out there who is so paranoid and has done this. You wouldn't be able to shop online in order to not reveal any information at all.

Can SecOps Be the Catalyst for DevOps?
Not exactly what you are asking, but I found a great name/brand that sounds like if it had to be the name of a big corporation. Strangely enough, the .com is registered but not used, and there are no companies using that name.

I tried to contact the owner, but I can't because of Whois privacy.
I can see a use case for it, as long as it delivers on performance. No one minds high TDP, as long as it offers a performance advantage. Hell, some servers have 4-8 Titans in them, and no one is complaining about their TDP. If a 260W CPU TDP is justified by the performance, no one will care.
They already did. I started wrestling, maybe I'll be good enough to teach it one day. That's my plan A. :(
Anecdote, not data, but my experiences using Uber have been universally better than using taxis and the same is true for everyone I know who has moderate recent experience with both in the US.

There may still be arguments to make that it's detrimental, or at least not beneficial for other reasons, or there may be data that contradicts my anecdote (if so, please link it), but I'm glad Uber exists and probably opposed to any regulation that makes it difficult or impossible for it to operate in a given place.
Naples might not fare well, but AMD is betting on vector operations being offloaded to a GPU-like accelerator connected via Infinity Fabric.

Best of luck anyway, and good luck dealing with law enforcement. Make sure you put some text on the front page indicating that you will collaborate with LE and it might save you from a little bit of bad stuff.

I ran something like this for a couple of years and shut it down because I was tired of dealing with the filth.
Definitely. Mozilla removed hardware decoding on Linux in Firefox 3.6, and never added it back.

The bugs on bugzilla are all marked "WONTFIX", and Linux seems to be an afterthought.
You are referring to the threat of trawling nets yes? So the idea presented in the paper is to use these things as anchors for wind turbines, it would not be a very good idea to go trawling through an offshore wind farm. Of course in either case, it is more likely that such structures will damage the trawling net rather than being damaged by the trawling net.

The strongest advice and one I've heard from several experts is don't travel out of the country with your phone. Joe could get a pay per use, or have a 2nd phone to use just for travel.

Changing just the vault password would be useless. I'm unaware of what level of tools border control has at it's immediate disposal, but they do make a copy of your phone contents from what I've heard, and passwords can be decoded from that after the fact. Once you get it back they've already got what they want.

2nd best to that IMO is set phone to wipe after a number of incorrect password attempts, which is good security in case a phone is stolen anyway. It might not be considered "compliance" however, but you'd be handing over your phone (given ability if stopped to enter wrong password in x number of times before asked for phone).

But after the fact, being caught in the situation and complying, I would suggest completely wiping the device, deleting/recreating any account that isn't essential, changing passwords for all that are and enabling 2FA as possible.

And non-tech related, carrying the # for ACLU or a attorney written down is essential for anyone who might be flagged.
Both Credit Karma and Mint make their revenue by offering financial products that might help you based on your financial profile so I imagine that can be fairly lucrative.
I already have a (great) rice cooker and a (not so great) slow cooker. Does the instant pot _actually_ replace those two appliances? Does it sous vide?
I definitely wouldn't put all my fears, hopes, and dreams in to a vote for a politician who promises to bring my job back.

I don't read it that way. To me, if they meant they broke the protocol, they would say "broke the encryption" or "defeated the encryption". "Bypass" implies to me that they get the information without interacting with the encryption.

Believe it or not, I would love to get Nik as a consultant. I fear my 'hubris' (I won't deny it, this idea is extraordinarily ambitious and I have to be arrogant to even conceive of it) will have pissed him off irrevocably.

That aside, I don't really follow his point on the login PW. I understand 8 char alphanum pw is pretty low entropy... but that isn't used for encryption. And the login attempt rate is pretty strictly rate limited.

And yes, I am getting professionals - not me - to do the heavy lifting. I wrote the proof of concept. I am in no way surprised to find it has issues - I am aware of a few others myself.
Suicide and crime have merit? I fail to see the ethical upside of any of those besides short-term gains.
It depends. For me, flash actually used VDPAU and VAAPI, so I got hardware-accelerated decoding, and it was nice.

The mpv plugin worked as well for HTML5 video with hardware acceleration.

Now, well, not anymore.
Not a problem at all if you provision your server properly so you aren't IOPS bound, though there are plenty of databases which simply won't fit on NVMe drives, so in those cases, yes it could still be a problem.
Echo probably does not send the recordings other than the ones it's expected and advertised to send. No proof of any kind exists to even begin to suggest it does something other than that.

On a broader view, if one considers how hard it is to get quality in anything, then the majority of things you encounter are going to be of dubious quality to begin with, and population count should factor against the common thing, not for it.

Otherwise, there are more Starbucks so does that mean they have the best coffee? McDonald's has the best burgers? No. They are numerous because they pander, and because of ethically questionable but not illegal business policies.

Why would anything else be different? How often is the popular or loudest choice the right one?

Analysing the use of outdated JavaScript libraries on the web
Other co-founder here:

Since we use Cordova, the entire app is a website. So when you open up the app, it launches a webview pointed to a website that we deploy to like any other website. That means we can change any client logic and it'll go out in minutes. We also have a conversation DSL that lets us make conversation flow tweaks in under a minute, and since the bulk of the app is conversations, that allows us to move super quickly.

Great question about the changelogs! Since we don't have a longer cadence between feature pushes since we're deploying all the time, we have to go back and look at historical pushes whenever we need to write a changelog. We typically roll up all the little features and announce them whenever we make a new version in the app store. On top of that, we usually announce new features inside Penny, where she'll give a little intro on the new functionality. That also doubles as onboarding to the new feature if needed.

To me it sounds like "I'd prefer if everyone would be getting sick at once": not a good scenario at all.
it's not a serious competitor to nuclear power

How can you say that off-hand without knowing what the costs are? It's not at all obvious to me that building 3000 concrete spheres with turbines and a bunch of PV panels is any harder or more expensive than building giant nuclear power plants.
Ah so it's high end affiliate revenue as presumably you've got the customers financial background? Interesting.
I am bemused by the naivete that they would care about legal recourse and not just blackbag you and Gitmo2.0 your posteriors if they felt like it.
Except instead of adopting Japan's proven policies and tech in this area, America has to reinvent the wheel. The whole blueprint is there in Japan, from the legal to the infrastructure to the ops. It's not some megalomaniac moonshot--it's running on time every day of the week from one end of Japan to the other.
I would argue that most religious people technically have a belief about the world that is false in the usual definition, and many of them are having a great time, especially since their religion gives them a nice little life manual.
This is why we have intelligence -- the evidence for almost anything of consequence will never be able to meet a judicial, syllogistic standard. The idea that we need mathematically perfect deduction before we can make actionable conclusions is an assumption on your part.
> There is no hard evidence where the DNC/Podesta leaks came from. However, Julian Assange has repeatedly said ...

Assange's claims are not hard evidence either, nor do I trust him.

US intelligence agencies say the Russians were involved and that kind of activity by the Russians is corroborated by intelligence agencies in Europe.

The nature of intelligence operations is that, if done correctly, there is no hard evidence unless the perpetrator wants there to be.
What you said is all correct.

But my point was it's not just about "simplifying the stack". You said "the allure of a static site or a static blog is to simplify the stack;", but the thing is, not everyone thinks that way.
Here's a devils advocate take on it: Taxi regulation is as much and more about "Guilds", Ghettos, and outright racism. It's been used as a blunt instrument to keep many people out of doing a simple, everyday activity that many view as a form of entertainment - driving around - for cash. The effect, if not the goal, of medallions has been to enforce the assumption that drivers are underpaid immigrants. The assumption of the driver as a criminal has lead to their mistreatment. The serfdom that medallion enforcement has created - Where drivers do not own their job, merely rent it from landlords demanding an increasingly greater cut - Has created the toxic environment that has allowed even awful competitors an advantage.
I didn't have anything to stop notifications last I checked. Had to uninstall the app.
easy - how about making cordova, android sdks, etc as a downloadable component after the main Visual Studio is installed?
That was the point of my post though. Its a moving target. First it was diabetes. Then hypo/hyperglycemia. Then hypo/hyperglycemia when it manifests in ways that aren't understood. Etc

This, to me, sounds like more of the same. First lymes wasn't known. Then it was identified, but chronic lyme is a mental disorder. Eventually, given enough study, chronic lyme will be understood, and then people who don't fit into that paradigm will be the ones with 'mental disorders'. Its a moving goalpost.

I'm not trying to invalidate a lot of smart research in the area. I'm saying that when medical science doesn't know enough about an issue to truly identify and treat it, by the nature of the way science works (step 1 is identifying the problem, and likely that hasn't even been done yet) medical practitioners can't do anything about it in good faith. So they'll suggest you find remediation as best you can, perhaps with therapy to help. Or else you're stuck looking for a specialist in your area, or a less-mainstream doctor who's willing to bend rules and provide home remedies with your symptoms, neither of which the medical profession can ethically suggest to you.

Look at it another way: in order for something to be studied, enough people have to get it to create a statistical sample size, and a large enough sample set to be potentially profitable or worth researching. That means, by definition, there are plenty of people out there with ailments that haven't crossed that threshold yet. Or, even more likely, there are plenty of people out there with problems, but due to the unknown nature of the problem, they haven't been successfully grouped together for study yet, even if they are over the threshold. Who's to say chronic lymes doesn't fit into those categories? Lymes itself is still a relatively new ailment.
One could say the same about your post. I think if Google can pass for a non-native speaker that's pretty good.
Not arguing with you, but the math does check out.

The ‘normal’ dose of viagra is 100mg. 1kg into 100mg doses renders 10,000 doses. So $60k is only $6 a dose. At 25mg doses (no idea what the standard dose of rhino is, as you can imagine the fda doesn’t list much) you’re down to a buck fifty.

If you dose it in similar quantities to real medications, $60k starts to look cheap.
Sorry about that! Since we only link to US banks, we're only available in the US. Hopefully international expansion will be a thing, but we're a little too small for that at this point.
I haven't used Squiffy myself. There are a lot of tools out there to let you build interactive fiction, either parser-based games where you type your actions, or choice-based games where you choose what you want to do from a list. For many people learning to code, building a tool like this is literally their second program, right after "hello world." Building a full-blown "Choose Your Own Adventure" is one of the tutorial projects in "JavaScript for Kids for Dummies."

The most popular type of choice-based IF is hypertext IF, and the most popular tool for building hypertext IF is Twine. Squiffy is most directly a Twine competitor, but almost all hypertext IF is developed in Twine; nobody's using Squiffy.

That may not be Squiffy's fault. Generally speaking, IF tools rise above the noise when someone writes a Great Game in that tool, regardless of whether the tool is strictly better or worse than anybody else's tool. Then people who admire the game say, "I want to make a game like that! How did you make it?" and that gets the ball rolling.

Since Twine is more popular than Squiffy, I'd advocate that anybody starting today use Twine. (And so the rich get richer.)

We don't use Twine or Squiffy at Choice of Games, partly because Twine isn't very well suited to writing really large interactive novels, (our minimum is 100,000 words of code+text) but also because hypertext UI isn't that easy to use on mobile devices; it can be hard to accurately tap on links in the text, as opposed to tapping big buttons at the end of the text. (You can use buttons in place of links in Twine, but you start fighting the tool pretty quickly.)
Correct. And removing the out of staters would make the classes more underfunded, and more understaffed, because they have less money.

Given the other revelations of the last few weeks, I have to wonder if these exploits are getting installed on every phone that the CBP demands people unlock. Seems like the obvious thing to do. Best not to trust your phone or any software on it at least without a factory reset, and preferably a software update, after it's been in CBP custody for any time.
>Securing raw materials could also be tricky as hedge funds have recently accumulated a big stockpile of cobalt in a bet that the scarce metal, which boosts the power of lithium-ion batteries, will increase in price.

Has the bet on price increasing ensured that the price will not increase because now people are worried about the availability?

I'd become an electrician. Or if I wanted my own business, a carpenter.

Decent pay, and there's lots of jobs everywhere, so I could have a low cost of living.
By the way, this is US only. We only link to US banks, so it wouldn't be very useful to download the app in a different region. Our team is pretty small, so international expansion probably won't be in the radar for awhile.
(I don't have a background in any science.)
Why is it of minor interest? Is it because it is one of many theories or most people agree on just climate warming?
Buy robots, obviously.
Yes. I created an internal language called "Lispon".

A lisp using json instead of sexprs. e.g. ["op", "arg", "arg"]. The team had a couple of requirements for a service we wrote:
1. Need to do batching.
2. Need to do stored-templated json responses based on data in our DB.
3. Need to not cost the project more than a week.

We had worked around #1 and #2 in awkward and debt riddled ways. (The client of the service was PHP with lack luster JSON processing, the service was java) So I whipped up Lispon and evaluator in about 3 days and had it integrated in another day.

It's lifespan was intended to be somewhat short, but like all code it's somewhat slow to get replaced and is doing its job adequately. JSON based sexprs are terrible to read.
Could someone from Norway provide a comment on this? How credible is e24.no?
Opening Your Own Gym / the Story of Untamed Strength
You made a specific claim: no app, easy dragnet, work ticket level, because tons of hidden 0days. I'm taking it as read that a publicly patched one doesn't count. Is there evidence for that claim in the actual documents?

Pending that, here is evidence of a counter claim. I'd repeat what tptacek said, but he's whittled it down better than I could: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13811541

To cite Tony Arcieri, the only elite cryptanalysis trick in play here is "Android is a tire fire". Cue surprised gasp from security researchers.

Furthermore, you did not refute my central claim. Popping a Cisco 12k: read a bunch of unencrypted comms until detection. Target a specific person to get bit by a specific iOS exploit: maybe read some of the data until it gets patched. Surely you'll agree that one is drastically more expensive than the other?

SSD was used as the backend device for the tests.
If a file is used for LCFS backend, the performance will be limited by the underlying file system in which the file is hosted. LCFS is capable of working directly on top of device and can queue I/Os efficiently and avoid duplicate caching. One of the reasons for developing LCFS as a native file system was to avoid some of the disadvantages of a merged solution.
You have somewhat of a small point there that if a calculation is made up of a four-symbol idiom, it bears repeating in the code rather than hiding behind a definition. However, that doesn't extend to arbitrary length. There is a threshold at which it's better to have a definition. I wouldn't copy and paste a sequence of 15 symbols, say. Somewhere between 4 and 15, there is a "knee".

Fact is, large software is made up of definitions. Vast numbers of them.

You can copy and paste everything only in tiny programs for your own use.

Programs are written across multiple lines not just because of indentation, but because we reference code changes to lines. Version control tools currently, by and large, work with line granularity. In code reviews, we refer to lines: "everyone, please look at line 72".

> using our efficient visual system to quickly recognize patterns immediately.

Not everyone has this; maybe only a few otherwise unemployable code-golfing idiot savants.

Maybe I could recognize +/%# if it is on its own. In real code, it will be in the middle of other such cuneiform, because it has to obtain inputs from somewhere, and there is other code expecting its outputs. I will not easily spot +/%# in a ream of similar $%#={|: type stuff.

> what does your "average" function do? you have to read the source code or the often-incomplete documentation

That just shows you're coming from an environment where you expect user-defined code to be poorly documented.

Of course, people don't overly document their page long code-golfed line noise that is for their personal use.
