Neither my wife nor I have ever had the want or need for a pressure cooker, but if we ever do, this particular one might be worth looking into, given all the good things people have said about it.

I think we just don't mind if we have to wait for something to finish cooking; plus she likes "active cooking" - the prep work, the attention to cooking, etc. I understand the desire for "set and forget" - which is why I have my own such appliance (if you will) - a Traeger smoker. I got tired of always having to attend to my gas smoker (checking water levels, wood chips, temperature and gas settings). I just wanted to put the meat in, turn on the temp, and let it run for however many hours needed.

For other things, though, we like to use either a slow cooker, or for smaller amounts of things, our set of "ancient" Sunbeam/Rival Bean Pots (we typically find them at antique stores). Sure, either way takes hours to cook something, but we just set them, go to work, and come back home and they're done. We've never had an issue or reason to think this a problem (our house is worth more in insurance money, tbh), even using the 40-50 year old Bean Pots.

That said, what I wish could be sold/made available would be a modern and "safe" (I put that in quotes because one of these could never be perfectly safe) consumer-model pressure fryer. Think of combining a pressure-cooker with a deep-fat fryer (and realize just how dangerous that sounds). At one time (back in the 1970s, IIRC) a company did market such a product, but it didn't last on the market (not sure why - may have been a safety issue for all I know).

Basically, I want to have fried chicken like I can get at KFC and elsewhere (also known as "broasted" - though that's a trademarked term, I think). It could probably be used for other fried foods as well. But I doubt we'll ever see one, because of the safety reasons and because fried foods aren't on the "high up" list of many people today (health reasons).

I've considered a commercial pressure fryer, but the fact that they require 220v (so I'd need a new outlet run), plus require a ton of oil ($$$) - in addition to all the other potential issues with a pressure fryer - has dissuaded me from that route (not to mention that they are pretty expensive to purchase).

Note: Whatever you do - don't try to pressure-fry in a regular pressure-cooker (I doubt the Instant Pot can handle it either) - the seals and such aren't designed for it, and you'll have burnination and other fun on your hands if you attempt it (at best).
I've only worked at one startup, which was quite successful, and nobody there fit the description of Greg (unless you permute it to be so vague that everybody is Greg). Therefore, you don't need a Greg character for your startup to be successful.

Clearly he is a very impressive person with very impressive results and I'm sure I'd enjoy working at a company with him, or people like him.

I don't like this myth though. Startups are chaos, and pretending that as long as you have this magical person there solving all your problems that your chaos is somehow incorrect. The startup I worked for was full of normal imperfect humans who got offended, had trouble figuring out the direction of the company, were not world-class recruiters, were not always thoughtful and ran into problems big and small all the time. The company didn't die because there was a group of dedicated, imperfect people, who didn't want the company to die, not because there was one "Chief Optimist" holding it all together. If there was a "Chief Optimist" role, it was a very mobile position based on who was feeling best at that particular moment.

This isn't to say you can't and shouldn't actively try to make yourself better [1], you should. But you don't need a perfectly formed person working at your startup for it to succeed. And I want to note, I'm not disputing the existence of superhuman individuals, they exist and I'm sure power a lot of amazing achievements. You just don't need them to succeed, a bunch of normal people can do it too.

1: For whatever definition of better you want, in this context it would probably mean being a better startup founder

When I stop taking them I'm in pain again. I think what you're trying to get at is the opioids don't solve the underlying problem. But to say they're not effective for managing pain is wrong. I use them to manage pain every day. I get regular steroidal-epidural injections to solve the issue.
Seems the consensus was the grandstanding was less important than national security since nothing came of it. I'd agree.

Flex is only built and meant for handling linier layout, either up and down or left right, and ot does so well with good flexibility and options and developer experience. Or at least compared to the other possible options. It was never intended for making grid layouts, which people are often trying to make it do, because all the other options are so lacking.
I doubt much money is spent on Daraprim overall. $75k is apparently the overall cost of a course of treatment to insurers, in addition to the two or three other drugs prescribed to reduce the side effects of the drug.

It is apparently not in common use, Health Canada says that hospitals simply don't buy it anymore as of 2013, well before the price increase.

I suspect that if there's an entire first-world nation which no longer purchases the drug in hospitals or pharmacies, sales volume is probably pretty low in the U.S. I don't see what kind of premium increase you could attribute to that.

Basically grids is a 2D layout system, while flexbox is a 1D constraint system that results in stuff happening on the second dimension. They're complementary and it would be foolish to use one when the other is needed.
I kind of make a new language for every project. Rather than writing a program directly, I write pseudocode to solve the program, and then build a language that runs just that pseudocode.

I had to query lots of data from webpages, so I made a pattern matching language where the program is a sample of the webpage. E.g. to query the the text of <span id="foo">some text</span>, you write the "program"/pattern <span id="foo">{.}</span>. Or if the webpage had multiple <span class="foo">some text</span>, you would use the pattern <span class="foo">{.}</span>+

Then I noticed, you sometimes need more expressive power than simple patterns, e.g. returning an element depending on the value of another element, so I added variables and allowed some kind of XPath expressions inside the {}. It was not really XPath, because XPath 1 has no variables, but after a while I noticed, XPath 2 has variables. There was no XPath 2 interpreter for the host language, so I implemented a standard-conformant XPath 2 interpreter for this. Not really my language, but my implementation of a language. Later I updated it to XPath 3, which became far more complex than expected, since XPath 3 does not just has variables, but is fully Turing-complete with anonymous functions. And a type system with 50+ different types. Makes JavaScript look trivial. I also noticed, XPath 3 is almost the same as XQuery 3, so I implemented that, too. http://www.videlibri.de/cgi-bin/xidelcgi

Which brings us back to your XmlPl, because XQuery was designed for the same tasks. That example node[] main() { <title>helloString;</title> } would become declare function main() as node() { <title>{$helloString}</title> } in XQuery.

Previously I made a completely different XML processor for my personal webpage. Keep all content in XML files, make an HTML file for the layout of the webpage, and then insert the data from the XML in the HTML at statements like {{$WRITE some/kind/of/xpath }}. It had control structures {{$IF}}, {{$FOREACH}}. I thought it was a good idea to keep the program separate from the markup, but it only looks confusing, so stopped using that language.

Most recently I made a language to sort my mails when they arrive on the server. More a toy than a full programming language, but the cleanest way to keep those filters http://hg.benibela.de/mailfilter/
yes but four modules of ryzen to make this beastly naples chip isn't going to be clocked at the same frequencies. the top end intel chips have TDPs of 165W but 4 ryzen chips at 3.6ghz have a tdp of 65w a piece and you're not going to see a 260W server chip if you want to sell into the datacenter.

There's been occasions where due to a massive routing snafu the whole internet became unusable. Sprint once botched their backbone so badly it started blackholing all traffic, and on another occasion tons of major routes were inexplicably shifted to China.

The top-level routing is held together with duct tape and lots of carefully trained eyes looking for problems with it.
For what it's worth, I have been working on serious production coding projects using CoffeeScript full time for the last 4 years! Moreover, I like it a lot and have no plans to change to another language anytime soon. So thanks!
I'd probably take the site down, or mark it clearly as being a hobby project.

As for Chrome - that team has some of the smartest infosec and cryptography people in the world working on and contributing to the project. If you want some insight into how some of the security design principals and tradeoffs were rationalized, i'd start with the project wiki:

Definitely sounds much better than <= 2015, where you may as well walk away for a few hours... and hope it doesn't hang for some weird reason.
The only problem I take with the "write only" mindset is that memory has been demonstrated to be able to be "changed" after the fact - i.e. making a person "remember" that the color of the truck was red, even though it was blue and they had correctly stated remembering it being blue.
Ya that's kind of what it seems like you did... throwing a big number out on purpose so that $9M jump would be "rational." The math in my head says you could weight figures on estimated acceptance probability. By throwing out a low probability figure first before a relatively higher probability acceptance figure - versus just presenting them with a reasonably high probability figure - give a better result. It is almost like expected value.
"Serverless" really means "your code is run as a container with a finite lifetime on an arbitrary machine in a standardized, non-configurable PaaS machine cluster."

In essence, it's a return to the "cgi-bin" model of scripting, where you write a script that only runs for the lifetime of one request, and then a web server will spin it up to respond to a relevant request and it'll terminate at the end of that request.

The only differences in the modern instantiation of the concept, are that:

1. the "cgi-bin" directory is a mounted object store, common to an entire cluster; and

2. there's some fancy preloading logic that lets Lambda functions stay "hot" between calls to them, so that they can run very quickly. (Sort of like Phusion Passenger does for Ruby code, except with enough isolation to make it safe for multitenant environments. Heroku's old Alpine stack might be a better comparison.)
Github page? Sounds interesting as I've always wanted to write one, but never had the time and I'm sure Inform7 is bigger than what I need.
Discord's a compelling alternative, but it's just another flavour of same. If you want distributed you need something more like IRC or at least federated XMPP.
Nurturing inflexibility to change in a user—especially a student—is setting them up for failure in a world of frequent and sudden change.
Sure, I guess. As I noted elsewhere in this thread, in general your risk is that the cost of exploitation is low (e.g. Android 4.x) or your value of exploitation is high (e.g. San Bernardino shooter).

Open vs closed source is a distinction I don't see a lot of folks in the security community take seriously, and for good reason: it's a response to a very specific threat model, where your concern is not primarily accidental 0days but intentional backdoors.

I would posit that the cost of a backdoor is probably higher than the cost of an 0day: the reputational risk to Google or Apple if they were discovered to have planted one is worth potentially billions of dollars in sales, so they will spend a lot of money fighting any such court order (and, as far as we know, such an order has never been successfully made).

The counterargument here is that if the government did win such an order, the backdoor is the gift that keeps on giving, whereas 0days eventually get patched and fixed.

But that's a long digression. For most users, this is simply the wrong threat model.

> The main connection I have eeked out that I don't think most understand though is the relationship between the Wall Street group and The City of London/Vatican/Swiss Banking groups and their many associated secret society groups and orders of knighthood.

> Stop using windows and osx, even for gaming. Stop installing windows at your business. Start using HIDS like OSSEC. Start checking your logs. Start checking your checksums. Start hardening your systems and your kernel (grsec). Stop using stock android, and don't use IOS. Desoder microphones on systems. Build faraday cages.

That will protect you in your home and on your personal devices (to a degree), but it doesn't protect you in public. Anonymity and privacy are an artifact of our congregating in large enough groups that it's not possible to know all those you see in a day, but the vast majority of our history was spent with no anonymity and little to no privacy. I'm convinced our return to a lack of anonymity and privacy is a return to the norm. That doesn't mean I support it or think it's necessarily better, but information wants to be free and humans like to know things, even if that happens to be what you had for breakfast today. Fighting naturally incentivized systems rarely ends well.
> Servo which is not Firefox.

Given that Servo is now vendored inside of Firefox's tree, and Project Quantum more generally, this is not exactly an either-or these days.

I don't think that was the point of my argument. I don't agree that rich people should be above the law, but that doesn't mean I can't disagree with the way the punishments are structured. I'm all for punishing all equally under the law whether you are rich or not. With that said, that also means that I think financial punishments for laws should be redesigned. A good start would be to fine people based on their networth instead of a fixed sum. Even then, the impact of a $900,000 fine on a wealthy person is likely less than a $900 fine for a poor person.

How do you justify that with

> unless every other nation stops doing this there is little value in being the only "clean" country (assuming somehow we stop)

If there is little value in being "clean", intelligence agencies have minimal to 0 oversight and accountability, and a non-trivial percentage of the population wants them to dominate geopolitics through any means necessary, how will we ever have an open/free society again?

>A big chunk of the article is pretty much "They didn't do it, and if they did, look at everyone else." Which is pretty much bullshit.

Yes this left a bad taste in my mouth. Quote from article:

"The fact of the matter is that we as an industry are responsible for Uber too. We’ve created a world that simultaneously celebrates rule-breaking and undervalues women (and minorities), full of investors and companies that are utterly ruthless when money is on the line, while cloaking said ambition in fluff about changing the world."

Soo.. its our fault for enabling this behavior, but we shouldn't punish Uber for it? Nooo. The majority of us don't create the rules/hierachy of what is valued, we can only vote with our feet and wallets and we should.
Could you explain a bit more? I'm not sure what you mean.
Zcash, for example, is built with `-Werror` (edit: not `-Wall`, but we're working on that). So this is absolutely feasible on a Bitcoin-derived codebase.
It's currently marked as beta all over the site, for exactly these reasons.
Pork shoulder and pulled pork are fantastic in a pressure cooker. I don't really use mine for anything else.
Uber's biggest problem is the confrontational way they've expanded their business, often thumbing their nose at regulators the entire time and pissing off a lot of the local communities. Lyft is in the exact same business but you don't see headlines every other day about Lyft going to war with some city or another.

I think Uber's about to be a very expensive lesson about Karma and will hopefully show some of these VC babies that "move fast and break stuff" is a great strategy for software, and a terrible strategy for people.
I'm not talking about self driving at all. I took your earlier comment to mean that the you thought the future of avionics control and other classical embedded problems would be using DNNs. Maybe that's not what you meant.
Exactly. People only have so much time to dig in and verify everything they hear on the internet, so the result is that you get enough bad information from a labeled group of people that you save your time by dismissing it.
Of course, Im only speaking in the context that you are worried about the CIA or other governments.
Well, frankly, having a big bag of cash is what got us a lot of the specialist doctors in tough areas requiring a lot of years of work. There is nothing wrong with making money if you provide a service worth it. We get nowhere when we deamonize money.

Don't pay for failure if you care about that, but maybe we need a whole heck of a lot more throwing it at the wall than we have now. I can see some startups wanting to play where they cannot now.
Find a niche on eBay and sell it. Old stuff like cards, vinyls, retro hardware hauls that you can get on CL and resell it for a nice profit. News stuff like electronics boards, good headphones, mechanical keyboards, etc,... you could import from Aliexpress and resell with support.
The point is calling Framework APIs from C++.

Of course there are workarounds like Swig, Djini, JNICpp, but those are just that, workarounds for the lack of support from the Android team.

iOS and UWP devs support C++ use via Objective-C++ and C++/CX (to be eventually replaced by C++/WinRT), even if C++ isn't the main platform language, instead of leaving the community alone to sort out the FFI issues.

Since Android is anyway a fork of Java, they could either provide C++ Frameworks that wrap Android APIs or provide something like gcj CNI.
I don't see how this goes from one to the other. It seems that just about every Android and iOS device can be part of an "easy dragnet" without any app installed. If the wikileaks article is correct about the CIA having kept multiple 0-day exploits hidden for each OS, then breaking anything even remotely is a work ticket and not a research project for them.

The fine distinction of one app being singled out sucks, but it really is small potatoes here. The owner of the app should write the NYT and complain that their app was used inappropriately or perhaps write an editorial to get even more free advertising. The real news is that the CIA lied to Americans and the President so they could continue damaging American businesses, in the name of protecting America.

It sounds like we are not too far off from the CIA being able to write self spreading malware that allows monitoring they just haven't because... maybe it would be too easy to spot. Oh wait groups like the CIA did this already and rigged it to delete itself when not on one of their intended target's machines, stuxnet.
