> just as the pressure cooker started to go from "geek" to "mainstream" in its adoption curve.

Pressure cookers have been around for a long time: first manufactured in 1864 according to wikipedia (1). It's just that they have been out of fashion for few decades - possibly supplanted by the microwave oven in the 1970s and 80s.

So maybe the time was right for a better design to come back. The older designs had a reputation for very occasionally exploding, or the lid flying off and getting embedded in the ceiling. Not common, but it did happen and that puts people off.

You'll find lots of great advice about job hunts on HN. It can be really hard when you're getting turned down and failing tech interviews. Try to stay positive.

After Snowden, the Obama administration made a commitment to the tech community that it would not hoard security vulnerabilities, and would instead pass them on to vendors to fix.

Ah right, I was referring to distinction between "problematic" and "non-problematic" use. People generally accept that you can have a "non-problematic" use of alcohol but not everyone accepts that for the other drugs. Although you'll still find newspaper editorials concerned about teenage drinking. And in the really regressive papers, concern about women drinking.

Both chronic and pre-existing conditions are now covered by insurance.

Granted, a large number of the chronic conditions people face are caused by lifestyle choices and doctors don't have the power to make people want to change how they live their lives.

Not smoking, eating less crap and exercising more would drastically reduce the amount of chronic health conditions Americans face.

High blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, COPD and a host of other problems would drop dramatically if people lived healthier.

This is a great example of how the proto-libertarian nonsense that comes out of the tech world is just pure self-serving bullshit. Where were all of these people since forever?

In fairness to the US, their missile engineering was sufficiently advanced that by the 1990s their "anti-missile" and "anti-aircraft" systems started to converge into general platforms that were indifferent to aerial target type. In effect, many of its anti-aircraft defense systems are also classified as anti-missile defense systems. Many decades ago, these were distinct kinds of systems due to technical capability limits that forced specialization.

This is why the US pulled out of the ABM treaty. The distinction between their anti-aircraft systems and anti-missile systems blurred, and the US was not going to suddenly stop deploying air defense weapons. The notion that a distinction exists is archaic and reflects the practical limitations of its time but doesn't exist today for the US.

It is possible already - you can do `command 2>&4` to separate the output from one command in a pipeline into its own stream, then do `command2 <&4` to pull from the further down the pipeline.
Still working on one because I think Agent oriented programming has a use and DSLs are closer to how we talk about what a program does than any API.

I think that's an absurd position. The government has a need to be able to access hostile systems. A hacked computer can avoid armed conflict where people die.

It turned out to be sufficient that the implementors of the polling system used it to manage the underlying system as well by storing the code in a database. No idea what happened to it. It was written in C/Objective-C in a WebObjects environment.
They are using a private Blockchain.

This means a blockchain where to participate you need to be approved by a single party or a consortium.

In my opinion if your blockchain is private then you might be better off using an existing database technology centrally controlled and allowing people to participate via an API. Expecting people to install Blockchain nodes locally to participate in this scheme might be expecting too much.

The problem is that when software updates are required, which they will be, you have the job of coordinating updates across a node infrastructure installed in many companies and locations. If it goes wrong you have a chain split.

Another problem is that the people who recommend or buy into the Blockchain hype might not have the skills to properly asses it's appropriateness to certain business cases.

May I just ask, why does this distinction matter? Why do you believe the world should be divided into "people who were issued bits of paper by my overlords" and "people who weren't"?

I never understood this division in other people's heads. It leads to all sorts of philosophical problems, like for example people believing that war is ethical.

I bought an old-school pressure cooker last year when my rooftop garden unexpectedly produced way more tomatoes and hot peppers than I had expected. Started to get into canning and pickling as a result.

Sadly, I no longer live there thanks to a breakup but I'm looking forward to buying my next place with gardening space so I can pick up where I left off. Do these things work for canning or is it mostly just a matter of available volume?
Why have it in an if though?
I have a different rice cooker / multi-function electric cooker which doesn't sell itself as a pressure cooker, though I think it does build up a slight steam pressure when in use.

If you buy a pressure cooker for "when I needed to pressure cook" you might not notice that it's also capable of being a multi-function electric cooker.
It comes at the expense of indirection, so it's certainly not free.
Just note that the stock price is down below first day close. The original owners sold at open price which was 17. The price is now ~24, so its up nearly 40% since initial open.
> just as the pressure cooker started to go from "geek" to "mainstream" in its adoption curve.

It's really really weird to read that, in europe pressure cookers have been mainstays of most every kitchen for decades, especially after SEB's "super cocotte" (released in '53, they'd sold 10 million by '69).
I wonder if, supposing a legit war use, those tools would work. Maybe in taking down some enemy tech infra, but on collecting information, i really have doubts. That would be too much data to process unless they had specific targets. Human intelligence would be much more effective.

Anyway, I remember a story of a US submarine that hacked soviet cables in the 70s or 80s.
> The fact that the law doesn't have an exception for compliance measures whose cost would exceed all profit from the relevant endeavor

Literally the entire point of the ADA is to force businesses to make themselves accessible when they have no inherent profit incentive to do so.

> For example, UC Berkeley was forced to remove free public access to their course lecture videos because they weren't captioned

That's a misleading way of phrasing it.

As a public university, Berkley was never permitted to post unaccessible content online on the first place - that's a pretty unambiguous part of the ADA and is not anywhere close to new. The DOJ has been enforcing that for two decades.

Berkeley did so anyway, and then was told they would have to caption them in order to keep them online. At that point, they chose to take them down.
In this case, the defendant may have a say only because Amazon is claiming there is standing to enforce the defendant's First Amendment rights - the so-called chilling effect.

With the defendant consenting, Amazon's standing for litigating this issue becomes more fraught.
This is amazing. I am serious.

An electric pressure cooker brand (I've never heard of, but I don't like in Canada/US which seems to be the prime market) took over the electric pressure cooker market by adding buttons instead of a twist-dial timer where you manually set the desired time (my electric pressure cooker, which came free with by fridge years ago, and may be part of the reference to scaring people about exploding... they don't... they have cut-off devices if the wrong time is dialed) and a bunch of links and given some Googling what appears to be discount codes to incentivise bloggers.

Quite an amazing success. Smart targeting of an old-tech.

I'm not certain there exists nothing to reveal. Is there a technical limitation of the system that prevents or avoids recording of "non-'Alexa'" audio? Or do I just trust Amazon when they say their alway-on device only records when triggered with the magic word?

As I think about it, I'd ask the same regarding the voice-controllable phone in my pocket.

FWIW, I don't trust the devices, because their operations are out of any consumer's ability to control them, but maybe I'm missing something about their technical limitations that would work in my favor.
This is a non-issue. The audio Amazon receives is from only-just-barely-before the wakeword up to and through the command or timeout expiration. Yes, it's possible that the defendants cat meowed right before the murder and it sounded like "Alexa". But it seems incredibly unlikely.

Prosecutors are just trying to cover every base but the likelihood that this will yield anything is very low.

I imagine it could be done if you could distribute one truly anonymous, but verifiable token to each eligible voter and if there is a way to anonymously insert a block "token x votes for y" into the blockchain.

To provide the anonymous tokens, fully homomorphic encryption could be used to have a trusted authority blindly sign a token when a voter requests it. (Maybe these requests could also be recorded in the blockchain, to make sure nobody gets two tokens?)

The hard part will probably be the anonymous network access.
I bought one to replace a rice cooker which had (aging) teflon coating.

I believe that in my heart as well. However, we don't currently live in a world with a federated global government.

How would you spark a revolution in people's thinking?
This is a great question. Surely they look for vulnerabilities also in their own systems but then what do they do when they find them? Is there some special set of software that always gets patched because the CIA uses it?
You fell into a trap yourself! Did I say somewhere that syntax is unimportant to me? I am as particular about syntax as anyone you are likely to find.

What I actually am saying is that missing out on the good things a language has to offer because of an inability to get over your dislike of the syntax is a weakness. If you have no taste, there is nothing to get over. That's not what I'm saying.

Yes, yes, I know how you "suffer". That's something you can get over.

I don't know your goals--if you program only to satisfy your own creative urges then it doesn't matter how you choose a language.

Assuming you work on things that other people also work on, then there is a cost to rejecting a language only because of syntax.

For example, if you are doing some work in an area where everyone is using Python numeric libraries, and you refuse to use Python because of fussiness about syntax, then you can't collaborate with those people. There's no good reason for that.

Reasonable people should be able to see when certain choices are arbitrary, and get over their attachment to arbitrary choices when it gets in the way of more important things, like collaboration.

Failure to do what I just described is endemic among programmers, to our shame.
