But why not spend ten minutes and make their net code use SSL and then avoid it altogether?

I guess one could argue that the footprint of adding SSL client behavior to a sneaky hidden tracker might be shitty to do and make it more identifiable. But also SSL libraries are typically linkable on the host system anyway, no compilation past the headers needed.

It's just a weird "workaround" on their part if that's the intention.

Agreed, my node builds tend to build to a ./dist including a separate package.json with all test/dev bits completely removed. From there I pretty much use the -onbuild containers from the dist/ path.
> repeatable enough to be accepted as fact

No. They are accepted as a scientific theory [1].

A scientific fact is "a repeatable careful observation or measurement (by experimentation or other means), also called empirical evidence" [2].

The media and general public doesn't really understand the distinction, and tends to call widely-accept scientific theories "facts" and treat them as if they are proven true -- when in the reality is the best science can do is just not yet prove something false.

Unfortunately, there are also a ton of perverse incentives such as when the sugar industry pays to fund science that 'proves' fat is the cause of problems[3], not sugar.

This doesn't mean science can't be trusted. Even flawed scientific theories can still be useful: for example, school children learn how to do basic quantum physics using the Bohr-Rutherford model before learning that model is actually disproven, because the model is still adequate to explain what's necessary at that level of education.

You have to judge the source of the study, who funded it (and why), and if it has been reproduced enough to be widely accepted -- especially in cases where there are contradictory results or theories.

It turns out Science, like many things, is hard.

We must have different ideas about what 'the Big Rip' is.

The one I'm familiar with is a cosmology one, where because of the speed of the increase of expansion of the universe everything literally gets torn apart.

Applied to the work situation it means a future roughly related to the plot of 'Accelerando', and once we hit that kind of rate-of-change all bets are off in the most literal sense.

This might be besides the point of the post, but I'll ask anyway.

@Greg, perhaps you could talk a bit about what you think makes you a productive engineer and problem-solver. What's your workflow like, how do you approach a problem, or learning a new concept, what tools do you use, etc.

Wow, that's awesome to hear!

For what it's worth, we don't think the premium experience (Penny+) is a good fit for most of our users. Locking extra complexity behind a premium version was actually our way of keeping the core experience simple (and encouraging people to not mindlessly turn on extra features unless they're confident they want them). We think the simplicity of the core experience is one of the main reasons people continue to use Penny over time; complexity begets churn, even if users ask for that complexity. We eschew traditional budgets for the same reasons.
Consider perhaps Windows firewall. I believe it can be configured to block connection by opening program.

Perhaps bots are more easily discernible from a human user who's using a real browser. If the goal is to be stealthy, then they'd want to appear as human-like as possible.

Interestingly it not only restricted the immigration of Africans and banned the immigration of Arabs and Asians but also restricted immigration of Southern Europeans and Eastern Europeans (especially Italians and Eastern European Jews).
Greg is humble, resourceful, and smart. That combination alone is enough to move mountains. However, what Sam's piece is missing is the "Why?". Why would someone who can do anything do YOUR thing and take any crud task it takes to finish the job, especially after they've made their fortune? Greg should give his own "Why?" about OpenAI. From what I know if 100 years from now someone looks back at this fork in the road of History, they would see two scenarios: Either a couple of big players will own the most powerful instrument in the hands of mankind, to use at their (or their highest bidder's) discretion, or mankind will jointly get to ensure the instrument has a safety handle to protect life and all things most important.

For the latter, I'd bet many of the smartest people here would want to do the crud work, even if they're not cofounders. The job of the ideal co-founder is to spread a mission that matters this much to everyone who would be fit to achieve it, inspiring all employees to be as committed. Well, OpenAI powered relentlessly by Greg, has inspired thousands of volunteers and open-source contributors in addition to it's top-notch staff.
Which is it? Your phrasing implies those are the same thing. They're not.
Good point. I care greatly about these things.

This project greatly simplifies how we publish content in an elegant out of sight out of mind way.

Before, if someone was out of town, we would need to rely on others to push the merge button on posts for us. Now, the robots do it for us!
Running in user space is not enough. It would need root. It is also hard to keep root, when you have dm-verity and selinux in enforcing mode.

Android applications are also sandboxed from each other. You would have hard time getting from one app to another's files, unless the original app published them - or you've got root.
> But as Chrome is cross-platform, and there's not standardized and similar APIs on Linux and Windows, I don't think it's the right move to have an OSX exclusive implementation that uses that api.

That is a very fair point, which I will take into consideration.

If I remember my science training properly "fact" is a synonym for "observation". One interprets facts in order to develop a model or "theory". So facts published in peer reviewed articles probably represent objective reality (if you believe in objective reality and trust the author to record observations accurately); the conclusion in peer reviewed articles (theories for example or statistical associations) should not be considered objective reality.
I am actively engaged in building as many robots as I can to do as much of my work for me as is expedient. "Part-time Robot manager" is my dream job. Alas, the requirements seem to change as fast as I can automate them, so I expect to be a full time robot engineer for the foreseeable future.
What are the security concerns? What are you doing to protect user data? One of the biggest drawbacks to Mint I've encountered from friends is that they don't feel that the account data they provide is safe, or that it has a large possibility of being exposed - this has led many of my peers to not use Mint (personally, I've been using Mint for 3+ years).

That being said, very willing to try this. Personal finance should be a priority for all! Congrats on the launch.
I looked up some context out of curiosity. Siberia appears to be home to 40 million people (half a percent of the world) now, living at a population density of five Palace of Versailles per person. Antarctica isn't doing as well, with only 1--5 thousand people at a time.

Millions of people live on land that was formerly water. For example, many people in the Netherlands live below sea level. A sixth of the current land mass of the Netherlands has been reclaimed. Of course, worldwide it seems that only slightly more than about 1% of 1% of land is reclaimed.

Not many people literally live on water, but it seems that the worldwide total is at least 100,000 (or a small multiple thereof).

Estimates of what portion of the land on Earth is "habitable" varies, but is usually about half of the land. At that rate, we would have to share each Palace of Versailles with all of 5 other people.

Thanks everyone for this chain. I started up a new Rails project a few months ago and decided to stick with ES6 for the Javascript instead of Coffeescript. Part of what bothered me about Coffeescript is how difficult it seemed to be to find any recent activity of any type about it, plus how much it seems to have diverged from the feature set of ES6.
You can!

The anonimized email address must work by ICANN rules, so if it isn't there or working you can report the domain for faulty/incomplete whois data. I suppose reporting to the registrar first would be courteous, or you can go to ICANN directly:

https://forms.icann.org/en/resources/compliance/complaints/w...

"If the registrant knowingly provides inaccurate information, fails to update information within seven days of any change, or does not respond within 15 days to an inquiry about accuracy, the domain name may be suspended or cancelled."

Norwegian here. I belive that e24.no is highly credible, I have been reading it for a number of years. The news of the harsh penalties for these uber drivers have also been mentioned in the radio news.
I spent quite a bit of time and effort on Zcoin during the launch, including setting up the first block explorer and mining with hundreds of EC2 instances to the point where I possessed more than 30% of the money supply.

It was a disaster. Some founders started selling their Zcoin as soon as it was listed on an exchange. The mining algorithm was changed several times.

It's a shame. Zerocoin, the underlying technology, is interesting.
You'll probably find that Canada is in there for free. If you guys use the same Intuit link that Level uses, you'll probably find "Royal Bank of Canada" and "Royal Bank of Canada (US)" in the list of supported institutions. Level worked great in Canada if you went through the effort of downloading it from the US AppStore.
Wow...One of the drivers has to pay back close to 1M kroner. Close to $118k USD.

Advice on finding a path forward
Hi,

Yesterday I was forced to withdraw from a discrete mathematics course I was taking at a local university while working full time as a Software Dev at a demanding startup.

This is very discouraging, as I had been taking two courses (discrete math and calculus I) as a non-matriculated student to attempt to apply to graduate programs in the future. I am concerned that this withdrawal, coupled with my relatively lackluster performance in a non-technical degree will only damage my chances further.

Is my best option at this juncture to forgo school and just focus on experience? Or would reducing my work to part time to have more bandwith for school be a viable option?

I am trying to improve my mathematical background to have a chance at working more in the domain of ML in the future. Does anyone here have experience building their mathematical background while working full time?

Thanks
Hello - I am a pretty decent user of financial apps , I use
- Mint extensively ,
- Personal Capital to a fairly decent amount.
- Also use an App called "Clarity Money" that was launched recently.
- Experian & CreditSesame for credit scores.

Could you explain the finance "coach" aspect of your app ? I have been in several situations where I wish one of these apps had told me a particular financial pro-tip & I have always felt let down. How would your app exactly be a coach ?
Stop trying to gaslight the discussion. They're all baseless, there can be no objective truth.

We humans obviously can't handle the mental load implicit in running a cohesive society. Let's leave it behind and revert to subsistence foraging.
With condition of being suppled by resources for living I think it's a good idea to go into research.

It's a bit unrelated, but I think that maybe instead of just introducing basic income to suppress social tensions caused by bots taking jobs it would be better to spend the money to create new research jobs at large scale. There are plenty underexplored directions in science and research in lots of them can't be automated anytime soon.

If there were much more PhD positions that paid solid stipend (and colleges were accessible to everyone and paid solid stipends too) and there were a lot of open research positions, people losing their jobs because of automation would go to these programs and then do research which eventually might make the world a better place to live.

Just replying to someone who is going to say that not everyone is able to meaningfully participate in research, I think it is not true. Yes, different people might have different productivity and abilities, but science needs not only researchers generating new ideas, but also laboratory assistants and experimental scientists mostly just doing meticulous measurements.

However it's simpler to just throw money at people and tell them that they don't need to work rather than scale the educational and research systems to the extent that would allow them to engage a large part of the population into them.

Little Snitch will warn you (ask permission) if a new process wants to connect to the internet. If the beacon can pass information through an browser process though, I expect most people have Little Snitch rules to allow their browser to send any traffic without warnings.

No proof exists to suggest anything about Echo. It is a question of trust. This is why I mentioned trust in my previous response.

Even the oldest CRT televisions have a "brightness" control, and it's supposed to be used to set the black level to black, not grey. The face of the tube has a grey color while it's off because that's how the surface of the tube looks - but that's not the result of emission from the tube, and even by the eighties tubes had dark anti-glare tinting for this. Unless you're shining a light on the tube, the black levels should be black.

Are we to say that the black level of an OLED display isn't black because external light can raise it through reflection?

You nailed it. It depends on the bias of the author of the interpretation you see, not necessarily the figures. Some stats are straight forward. For example, incidents of domestic violence recorded by police show that there is significant involvement by BOTH genders, but MSM will not admit that. Google images of domestic violence to see the extreme media bias.

To give another example, we all know that males dominate university, especially STEM, right? It will actually surprise you to know that within 15 years, the number of females are expected to dominate the number of males at university by 91% (yes, 91%). Imagine Ars Technica's spin on that extreme imbalance!!!

Let me quote one of many sources that are actually looking rather than just taking Ars Technica and The Verge at face value,

QUOTE

UCAS chief Mary Curnock Cook warned that despite clear evidence of a growing gender gap, there has been “deafening policy silence” on the issue.

She said: “Girls are doing better throughout primary, secondary and higher education than boys; poor, white boys are the most disadvantaged group in entry to higher education and the gap is getting bigger.

“But despite the clear evidence and despite the press coverage, there is a deafening policy silence on the issue.

“Has the women’s movement now become so normalised that we cannot conceive of needing to take positive action to secure equal education outcomes for boys?”

UNQUOTE

At the BBC, feminists did not dismiss the figures trending towards 91% dominance, but they put it down to boys being "slow learners" and "not willing to work as hard". And what changed from 30 years ago when the results WERE balanced between genders?

Anecdotally, I said to a friend of mine the other day that the western world is on a rapid downhill slide. When he asked why, I said that any society that is at war with itself (male vs female was the focus), you will see that society crumble. The bullying is so extreme and there is no outrage. Education and protection from violence are fundamental human rights!

Despite what the New Yorker said, we need outrage!

I'd like to sincerely thank UCAS chief Mary Curnock Cook for being one of the few women brave enough to speak out about extreme prejudice.
