Right, you still need to trust someone.

If it really matters, you use nested VPN chains. Three deep is my standard, and I've managed six. Latency can be a couple seconds, but hey.
Okay, okay, let's discard the tangential argument, and stay on track shall we? We're talking principles here, and in principle we are all serfs. Some are much better compensated than others, but it doesn't change the underlying principle that spending your life consumed with working is asinine. And yes, life is much more comfortable for all serfs than in ages past. Even those in poverty often have big screen TVs, smart phones, Netflix, cable, game consoles, etc. Of course you have to do what you have to do to survive, but many of us are pissed that there's this arbitrary minimum of 40 hours. You can work a lot more than that, or make a lot more for your 40, but you're pretty much required to work at least 40. Ironically, for many service jobs it's actually hard to get full-time, which necessitates getting multiple part-time jobs (I've been there).

So yes, we are all serfs living in various degrees of comfort, but without that which we really crave: freedom. Sure, we could start a business, but most of the capital for doing so (past and present) is held by a very small number of people. Wealth perpetuates wealth, you've got to have money to make money. And you have to have a lot of money to earn your freedom.

SHOUTING IN TEXT DOESN'T HELP
Would a 512mb RAM DO server be enough for this? I've been looking for an alternative to a VPN for a while, but it would only be cost effective with the $5 option.
3rd party cookies and fingerprinting js is hugely different from "full take" at source.
My point is your fair-share 8 acres nets you 2000+ kcals per day, enough BTUs to keep you warm, enough shade to keep you cool, and enough fibers/leather to keep you clothed. Having been raised where we grew half our food, heated on burning wood, and clothed largely via "thrift" sources, all with an eye being able to achieve complete self-sufficiency in short order, my baseline question is "what does a normal adult require for outright self-sufficiency?"

Crunching your numbers brings us decently around the US poverty line of ~$17,000/person (less for larger families). That's a connection I was looking for and hadn't gotten to yet.

...and, oddly, you touch on the reason illegal hard liquor was popular to produce in my region: you could get a lot more money out of a bushel of corn if you fermented & distilled it first, using pretty primitive equipment. Easier to transport, too. Eventually moonshining collided with automotive technology, leading to NASCAR (powerful engines & skilled drivers outrunning police). But I digress...
What a strange world we live in that that a terminal app would be written in Node.js.

A robot than burns Trump's tweets
Thank you, fellow detail-oriented person.
Downvoting is the same as censoring, period.

You really need to ask whether or not you just disagree with him (which is what you seem to do here.) Or whether the post is off-topic (which it does not appear to be because you made an argument against his point)
> the journal has in some regards become a formality necessary for career advancement,

I think this is ever so slowly going away - the entire format of the journal is still a hangover from a print-only era and really needs to go away.

There are some good news: the NIH (medicine's US funding body) now allows preprints to be cited in grant proposals, one nail in the coffin of journals. See http://www.sciencemag.org/news/2017/03/nih-enables-investiga...
At first glance this sounds ridiculous ... but imagine it passes and think of the fun we could have with President Trump and his Tweets ...
...and yet those cubes are possibly sumptuous compared to some I've been asked to work in.
The trouble with that argument is that in a case of a straightforward binary decision, which is what was on offer, the only logical alternative to tyranny of the majority is some form of "tyranny of the minority", against which all the same criticisms would apply but stronger.

This is a reasonable argument against having a simple binary decision in the first place, but of course that opens up plenty more scope for distorting the outcome. In an ideal world you'd find a consensus favoured by most and tolerable to all, but with such a complicated and divisive issue as the EU, that was always unlikely.
Counter-example. I was literally in some Chinese factories two weeks ago, one that makes molds for metal and a separate one that makes molds for plastics. Everything was automated. Even the major machines on the floor (5-axis metal CNCs, high powered laser cutters, etc.) all had digital interfaces. Some were Japanese, some were French, others were Chinese. There were entire rooms of people creating and updating models and validating injection flows using capable CAM software, apparently written in China and presumably with modeling algorithm implementations by Chinese mathematicians and programmers.
The PCMag survey felt very heavily weighted to who they get referral fees from. Every top rated VPN had a special link and referral offer.

That being said I used it and ended up choosing one that they recommended basically due to lack of info from other sources that is timely. Was a couple months ago.
2 other reasons i like:

amazon can integrate with their marketplaces...giving them an inherent ability to enrich and monetize contact center which others don't have.

trojan horse for improving their AI services - nice data to train lex and polly on - and for lex and polly to self-learn on...
Very much this. There are many de facto one party districts in the U.S. where a third party wouldn't run into the issue of being a spoiler. The Vermont Progressive Party only runs candidates like this. The result is that thought they're only active in Vermont, they have 11 seats in the Vermont state legislature. In contrast, the Libertarian Party and the Green Party are across in the entire U.S., and out of all 50 state legislatures they have a combined total of 2 seats (2 for the Libertarians, 0 for the Greens).
I wrote a new CL plugin for Vim, which only depends on +channel and supports most SLIME features: https://github.com/l04m33/vlime

It's quite new, and I'd be grateful if you could try it out and provide some feedback.
The meme image ("Can't have 0days or bugs... if I don't write any code") is incorrect.

You can't have bugs if you don't have any code, but not writing code just means that your bugs are guaranteed to be someone else's bugs. Now, this may be a good thing -- other people's code has probably been reviewed more closely than yours, for one thing -- but using other people's code doesn't make you invulnerable, and other people's code often doesn't necessarily match your precise requirements.

If you have a choice between writing 10 lines of code or reusing 100,000 lines of someone else's code, unless you're a truly awful coder you'll end up with fewer bugs if you take the "10 lines of code" option.
It occurs on machines with Intel integrated video only in my experience. Does it on my 2011 MBA and 2016 touchbarMBP, but not my 2012 rMBP. It's well documented here:

It's about the person, not the party. Plenty of profit motivated democrats and republicans who care about their districts. This kind of tribalism prevents us from finding middle ground; we should be against ideas and practices, and be principled instead of loyal to a party.
Except when the government effectively becomes, collectively, the king, and represents nothing more than their royal self-interest. Which is how I see things going in the USA, for all intents and purposes.
So posting comments with misleading information and media bashing is substantive and civil?

I'll stick to that then.
Here is an alternative account of what has happened.

The government is trying to reduce protections of civil liberties, the environment, etc.

Why?

Because the party in control of the legislative and executive branches are removing those protections.

Why?

Because it is in their best interest and because they promised to do so in their election campaigns.

Why?

A. Because their corporate sponsors want less regulation.

B. Because their supporters want less regulation.

Why?

Because less regulation means more profits (If you ignore the environmental and human costs).

And, because many Americans equate regulation with infringement of their personal freedom.

We need to stop assuming that bad things are happening because a few bad apples tricked roughly half the population to support them. They are making America great again. Look at any point in time before now in American history and you will find less civil liberty, more oppression of workers, and more destruction of the environment. It was promised. Its being delivered. And no one was fooled. It is straight up whathalf the population asked for.
What you're describing sounds a lot like shorthand.

Palantir Wins Protest Against Navy Over Contract Bid Request
Yeah. The Janus party.
Cool, but I think it's better if it's in your text editor. In Emacs I use Magit, it is spectacular.
I've used SoftEther VPN software on the type of cheap VPS you find on lowendbox.com.

I notice little if any change in speed. If anything, download speeds seem more consistent in speed without long pauses (or momentary bursts in speed).

It's very easy to install and configure, but I'm not sure how good it is at addressing the point of having a VPN, since I don't know how well the software has been audited by other people, and I wouldn't know where to begin. The same goes for how I must trust the VPS provider.
There's probably no good way to pick up this context from the article, but the meaning of that particular meme is that the caption is supposed to be a shortsighted analysis. See http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/roll-safe , which lists examples like "You can't be broke if you don't check your bank account" or "If you're already late.. Take your time.. You can't be late twice."
For many kinds of people, working together is also a bonding exercise. Maybe we should also appreciate that instead of calling it a disease.
I always use gfxcard status to force machines into integrated only mode and I've still never encountered that issue.
At the risk of sounding increasingly naive:

I believe policy is important as a part of the solution because it is a matter of protecting the general public not just a select technically capable.

Yes, policy is hard and can be useless but I still believe it is an important goal to fight towards.

You can care about your privacy, use a VPN and use the democratic process to enact policy change. Those things need not be mutually exclusive. VPNs are only a part of the solution and incomplete, not the solution.
Vscode extension for Evernote – Evermonkey
This is much like the sublime text one. You can search evermonkey in github and vscode. I am trying my best to make it better. Suggestions are welcome, have fun!
That's a sutra.
F.lux doesn't "deal" with anything, it just takes your existing ICC/ICM file, alters it, and resets your GPU's LUT with it.

I've had the same issue with an Intel GPU'ed MBPR 13" (ie, no Radeon or Nvidia GPU also), and it rarely happened in OSX, but only during certain HW accelerated overlays (such as YUV acceleration in videos, or OpenGL programs doing sufficiently interesting things).

I don't think F.lux has the bug, but OSX's rendering pipeline does. I had similar issues with color profiles I generated myself that noticeably differed from the screen itself (Apple has yet to produce an actually fucking accurate-to-sRGB screen, I don't care how many Photoshop jockeys praise their lord and savior, St. Jobs).

So, yeah. In other news, my MBPr runs Windows 10 and I'm never going back; and I've also never seen the bug here.

The side effect is: F.lux's Windows version is not feature complete with OSX's, and noticeably redshifts at different times than OSX does depending on what settings you prefer.
"Getting the hostname from SNI requires TCP sessionalization and at least some form of DPI."

I have done it with tcpdump.

What does getting the hostname from an encrypted packet require?

Assume DNS is not used and there is no reverse DNS information available that gives the specific domainname requested by the user.
> I don't understand your willingness to pick out one actor to knock.

I'm not, and I don't understand your necessity to pick out one above others.

> Why not at least praise them all.

Easy, now. Don't forget that was my argument.

> Your blasts don't ... (unintelligible) ... or something?

Ugh, no. Let's not digress, again...

> The "artful twist" is built-in to not just that idiom but also "blow wide open." It's not a coincidence, it's central to the meaning.

That idiom is overused. That "artful twist" lost its impact a long time ago and "blow wide open" is just a variant. These days both are highly subjective (as illustrated above).

No, the impact from Snowden's actions are useful but no more explosive than what was, and is now becoming, known to those of us who were paying attention all along.

Which is the entire point of my original comment. Would you criticize the WSJ for not name dropping Trump in an article on political stupidity? Or did he blow that wide open, too?
AFAIK the historical reasons are well-placed. Japanese Kanji is essentially a spin-off system, since altered, wherein many of the characters that exist in both Chinese (eg. in the Tang Dynasty) and Japanese now have completely different modern meanings. In addition, grammars in both places have since changed (Japanese possibly never really had one, deferring to Middle Chinese in early use, and only slowly adopting characters elsewhere, interspersing other writing systems to provide grammatical structure). Therefore it makes little sense to conflate the two when discussing language, though the evolution of Japanese character use can provide some insight in to Middle Chinese and earlier periods, particularly in subjects such as Nara Period and Silk Road Buddhism. (I am less knowledgeable about Japanese than Chinese, and claim no particular expertise in either, though I do translate old Chinese texts to English for fun and have visited Japan)
Powering UberEATS with React Native and Uber Engineering
Ask HN: How to fast iterate on political science?
We are in a world where science, technology and biz ideas are rapidly developed, tested, and iterated. However, it seems that there's no way to innovate on ideas of government, politics, or democracy. Or at least not fast enough. What can be done to make testing a political idea as easy as making a start-up?
Having a REPL does not necessitate interpreting http://www.sbcl.org/manual/#Compiler_002donly-Implementation
REPL and interpretation are orthogonal concepts.

SBCL (most common CL implementation) don't have interpreter at all. It complies into machine code before execution even in REPL.
This is super interesting... apparently we have also the lost ability to find specialized welders for many naval vessels... starting salaries are around $300K for the right folks in the US. hell of an offer indeed

F.lux team claims that's an Apple bug. If it's true, Apple doesn't have reasons to fix it.
Yea, personally I care about the trade deficit more than jobs anyway. That is because the current economy is based on credit and that is not a good thing.
> Do you understand why I do not like SNI? It has nothing to do with getting these stupid hostnames.
> It is a modification that needs to be made to software to accomodate the spread of the use of the SNI extension. As a user, I have no need for SNI.

It's a modification that has already been made to software and widely deployed. The RFC was back in 2003. Are there even any TLS implementations that don't support SNI that aren't also so horribly out of date that they're full of since patched vulnerabilities?

Also it sounded like you cared a ton about getting "these stupid hostnames", and if you don't I'm not even sure what your objection is. That you can't browse some websites on Windows XP anymore? If you care enough about security to complain that TLS sucks compared to CurveCP, you definitely shouldn't be using it anyway.
Calling this a "famous long-standing mathematical conjecture" seems a bit of a stretch. It gives the impression that this would be comparable to Fermat's Last Theorem, the ABC conjecture, the Riemann hypothesis, etc. However, this conjecture doesn't seem to have a Wikipedia page. The discoverer, Thomas Royen, does not have a Wikipedia page either. The Loren Pitt paper establishing a special case of the conjecture was cited only 50 times.

The only justification for the importance of the problem that I see in the original article is that it was open since 1972 and someone is quoted as having worked 30 years on it and knowing other people who have worked long on it. That's something, of course, but it's not so much -- there are lots of problems in mathematics that remain unsolved after some decades despite serious efforts, and not all of them are famous ; it depends on how much attention they have attracted.
Those comparisons are tricky, especially in hot markets.

My childhood home in NYC was $30k in 1980. My grandparents lived in a nicer house up the block on a sanitation workers salary. That home sold a year ago for $1.2M. The 2016 version of my parents or grandparents would be living in some distant suburb.

I've seen people use rebase like a patch queue a few times, and it always comes off as awkward and painful. This app seems to make that pattern of use a little less painful -- but patch queues are better. I wish more people knew about them as a source control tool.

mercurial queues - far and away the my favorite patch queue implementation - https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Mercurial/Q...

Your comments that this isn't how the government was intended to work are spot on -- the founders did not want a two party system.
I'm not an OS person, so forgive me if this is a stupid question: Lots of people are excited about Intel SGX and similar things. Are there any interesting ways people are thinking about combining, like, Docker containers with SGX enclaves and such? One could imagine (e.g.) using remote attestation to verify an entire container image.
The decision after the fact to treat the referendum as if it were a binding, simple-majority-rule, measure, OTOH, is ceetainly questionable.

There were plenty of questionable things about the referendum, but I really don't think this was one of them. If you look at Hansard during the debates on the enabling legislation, one MP after another spoke in terms of giving the people the final say, or words clearly to that effect. If you look at the official booklet, sent to every household in the UK by the government at taxpayers' expense, it too contained wording that clearly implied the people would decide.

Personally I'm of the view that we need more direct democracy to fix our political systems rather than less, and I see little democratic legitimacy in arguments about Parliamentary sovereignty given the alternatives available to us today. So for me, whether or not I agree with the result, as a matter of principle I would have preferred the referendum to be absolutely legally binding anyway. But even if our most senior lawyers held that it was not, it seems quite clear that even before the vote the expectation both of Parliament and of the general public was that the referendum result should decide the matter.
I think you overestimate the average politician. They may not bother with the internet. I'm confident Senator Lamar does not.

But really, i don't think it would take very long to figure out where he and his staff in DC and in Tennessee live. I don't know what the data purchase rates are, so that could be expensive. But buy the data for a bunch of neighborhoods. Perhaps 50,000 people. watch the data for a while, query strings with Lamar would be good indicators.

Heck, make some really finely targeted ads on Facebook.

I think the reality is most news sourced this way would be super tabloidish. i mean, you're going to figure out what porn they look at faster than what policy they're developing.
If my ISP were to sell my data, how would they refer to me to the buyers? Would it be legal for them to use a cookie identifier in HTTP traffic they routed?

The idea that it is an artifact of Media Lab culture makes sense. One of the analogies I saw is to Emacs Lisp as a language for editing text (and Stallman is listed in the acknowledgements of Steele's book).
I think the marketing page could do with some demos. There are online DAWs already and most of them are pretty sad. If you showcase some real audio work accomplished with Sawtooth, it'll be more worth signing up to try.

I have DAW software already, I use Ardour and Pure Data on my computer, so I want to know that I can do something compelling with your tool before bothering to set up an account.
