I don't think that's the premise at all. I think that if you read the voice of the Economist, it puts on an air of long experience and an expert level understanding of whatever topic is being covered. The magazine plays up its very long publishing history, for instance (since 1843!).

But behind that facade is a kid not long out of Eton who probably is working at his very first job.

And there's nothing wrong with that. But the magazine is not upfront about it. In fact it intentionally hides it from its readers.

It's the same game that consulting firms and I-banks play, where they bring in a partner to shake some hands and then all the real work is done behind the scenes by a 25 year old recent graduate with an elite education but no experience, working 80 hours a week and sleeping under his desk.
Hub: The ultimate IoT smart device
If firewall rules block everything except for connections to the VPN server, no connection to anything "on your regular connection" is possible. One can use the built-in Windows firewall. That also prevents WebRTC leaks.

It's a lot harder to secure smartphones, where firewalls are entirely nontrivial.
Isn't cancer predicated on mutations that result in uncontrolled cell growth? I imagine there are a great many mutations that result in cell death or an inability to properly divide. Those mutations wouldn't contribute to cancer risk. So maybe you need 3-6 but only amongst those bits of DNA that actually matter.

It's pretty easy to block WebRTC, with plugins and/or firewall rules. But I'm guessing that getting WebRTC to work through the VPN tunnel is not so easy. I've never tried it.
Yeah, I've considered that. But I always have my laptop, whereas a pill case would be an additional thing to bring when I'm travelling.

That’s just from PCB from farmed salmon. What do we really know about ingesting those microplastics? I’m not really worried about “toxins,” in general, but plastics aren’t exactly made to be safe to ingest.

I thought the article made (implicitly) a case for fish farmed in controlled environment. Those should be safe, right? That is if you can find them correctly labelled, which the author notes is also an issue.

Neither Google nor Microsoft (I wouldn't even count Samsung among the top players here) come close to the out-of-the-box experience and integration of services like you get in the Apple orchard.

Read a book on my iPad and have my place, bookmark, notes, automatically show up my Mac. Same with movies and podcasts; they pick up from where I left even when I switch devices. AirPods work with all my devices without cumbersome unpair/re-pairing. Copy/paste across devices. The cloud-synced documents without even having to manually save them.

All of that and more, all so seamless, with no configuration required on my part beyond signing with my Apple ID once on each device. This makes a huge difference to me as a user and Apple aren't under threat from anyone on that side.

> Most studies I've seen on health correlate healthy individuals with eating fish.

Eating fish would also correlate with a lot of other things in many parts of the developed world, like spending more on food, or following mainstream “healthy” advice, which correlates with other choices.

You're talking a taste thing; I'm talking a correctness thing. The inability to create an easily-managed DSL doesn't compensate up for Golang being actively dangerous when it comes to error management. One of these provides structures for ensuring that you catch errors and can do the right thing, and the other demands that you if-check them upon every invocation of a method that can fail.

Aren't we all culpable for factory farming to a certain degree? Few of us are prepared to pay more for meat with higher welfare standards. In Europe and North America we eat more meat today than in any time in history. And more cheaply than ever before.

Ending factory farming means eating much less meat and paying more for high welfare standards. How many people in the 'Western world' are prepared to do that? Not enough to make a difference.

It's a pretty common thing to witness unfortunately in poorer countries with bad road conditions and lots of motorbikes. I have seen firsthand a few terrible accidents in which multiple people died in horrific ways.

I also saw a thief beaten to death pretty much right in front of me, which haunts me even more. I witnessed it from my balcony and by the time I got downstairs (with the intention of stopping it) it was too late. There was also a suicide in my neighborhood where a young boy jumped off his balcony from about 5 stories up. I was out exercising so fortunately I didn't see it, but when I got back my neighbors all told me and the next day I saw photos in a newspaper taken right near my apartment of a monk blessing the boy's body. My wife as a child also saw a foreign English teacher jump off a tall building. It can be really depressing living in an impoverished place.

Like you, I am also down with OTP (yeah u kno me) and thats why I have to come to you with a harsh message of love: You've been bamboozled.

{ok, u_no_me, {down_with, init, [State, Mod, OtherMod, Pid, SomeImportantRefIforget]}, {permanent, brutal_kill, 10000, 9999, 100000, 5, worker}

Is not a genius language construct of a faraway Alien race. It's not elite. It's not even Swedish. It's just limited and unclear. (there are even more unclear examples in the annals of Erlang, but everyone is familiar with consulting and reconsulting the child specification documentation)

There are just so many things that make dealing with OTP nicer in Elixir. This is to say nothing of the meta-patterns that Elixir has driven home: Agents, Tasks, the actual supervisor/worker interfaces themselves. You could go on here.

I haven't even gotten to macros -- Have you ever had to make your own behavior, say for an acceptor/worker pool of some variety (presumably non-tcp, otherwise just ranch that out). Making your own behavior (what armstrong himself called "really advanced") is the easy part here. You've got to create a system where you pass around the TRUE module that holds the correct `handle_call/cast/info` implementation back and forth through the true module and the OTP state parameter.

This whole pattern (which comes with very real runtime costs) just doesn't even exist in Elixir. You just create a macro. A macro that sets all of this up at build time. No complex supervisor hierarchies where you need to constantly inspect each and every message, no custom behaviors, etc. You just have a mostly sane way of sharing software logic to begin with.

You can work up really clever solutions with parse_transforms, even standard "-define", but today Elixir has a totally brilliant solution to this problem and many more classes of problems.

This isn't to say there an't blindspots (beyond "wrap proc_lib/inets/other hated library"). There's minor issues here and there. Process registry naming can get confusing, especially operating between Erlang+Elixir supervision trees. Low-level details aren't nearly as well-publicized in Elixir either. There are even big issues, like the Elixir community leaning more "I'm playing around with Elixir because Phoenix is Webscale" than the grizzled realtime adtech/gambling/finance gurus and so if you want help with OTP platform/VM details, you going to have a harder time.

I first tried Elixir in v0.08. & function capture syntax had just been standardized. I suspect that like me, you tried it then, when it wasn't a fully-featured alternative yet. Things have changed and Jose Valim has a vision for the future of Erlang that I think you'd be foolish not to pay attention to.

You are right. There are thoughts that science can't explain or replicate.
It's a rare and exhilarating experience to go without that most basic form of messaging, but I was off the grid completely on a remote shore in Alaska for a week last year. I also cross national borders quite regularly and therefore have contingency plans in case some overzealous/corrupt official decides to separate me from my communication devices.

And of course one is not exempt from natural disasters, or the periodic collapse of civilisations.
You make it sound like steak, milk or cheese are bad, but they are not. It's all a matter of balance. Low carb diets are popular for a reason, carbs and sugar are usually seen as more unhealthy than fats and personally i also consider physical activity as an important factor for balance.

Maybe time to just leave the lock away then. It's pretty common in Scandinavia, and, at least for me as a tourist, had quite an impact on the societies' mood.
So what were these strange things promised in the title?

Looked like a perfectly normal lock-picking convention to me.
How is it related?
(1) I love your book recommendation; however, it dedicates maybe one or two pages to safe-cracking, so I would not recommend it for this purpose.

Instead, I would read the material that Deviant Ollam has published (http://deviating.net/lockpicking/resources.html) or look for an upcoming TOOOL meetup (http://toool.us/).

(2) I don't intend to be pedantic – and perhaps I'm mistaking hyperbole for fact – but how could you are opening a combination lock with an secret unbeknownst to you more quickly than your a combination lock with a secret known to you? Unless, you're shimming the new lock and avoiding dialing the correct combination altogether, in which case you would solve them all locks in the same span of time, this is unlikely. However, you said you're opening the lock by 'feel,' so I assume that's not the case.
Samsung should ship their phones with Tizen instead of Android. In the long term you are dead if you don't control your own software.

They could build a "Android bridge" (an Android runtime for Tizen) and partner with the main app developers (in particular, Facebook) to upload their Android apps on Samsung's own store.

It would be extremely risky but also it would pay off. Otherwise, they will be crushed in the Android phones commoditization race to bottom.
Well, I'm taking a stats class now and longitudinal etc aren't scientific bullshit. The real question is: were the methods properly used? Was the study well done? They frequently aren't, for a multitude of reasons.

I only skimmed the paper and so may be entirely wrong, but the sample sizes seemed awfully small. What drove me crazy is their simplistic notion is that the CPI and CI indexes of the countries they visited was a factor of sorts. The CPI is a ranking of countries "by their perceived levels of corruption, as determined by expert assessments and opinion surveys.". The key word is 'perceived' - some cultures, 'back-scratching' is a fundamental component of how the society works and so by idealistic Western standards, it is wrong, but that society isn't hypocritical about it.

On the other hand, the UK is #10 in the CPI list, but after living here for a number of years now, I understand the culture enough to say that the English are utterly hypocritical about the amount of corruption that is actually present, despite the PERCEPTION the UK is a country that belongs in the top 10. And most English people I know are well aware of the inherent corruption (at least my friends, all left leaning ex-communists...) If the study was correct, then foreign students from other countries who study here, travel here would be become less immoral?? I think not. Morality is primarily a function of the individual, their personality, and how it was shaped by their own culture growing up. I doubt very much it is affected so easily, except for weak willed people.

Living here has not made me any more corrupt, but the opposite. Although I no longer have any problem stabbing someone who has shown themselves to be corrupt/unethical in the back... as a counter-action. I have gotten tired of being screwed with, but I certainly am not going to plan to be unethical right off the bat with someone. i.e. I play Tit for Tat now in the Prisoner's Dilemma game of life, not the ideal strategy taught to children to socialize them properly.

So if you want to measure how 'personality morality' changes over time, superficial things like a brief exposure to other cultures isn't going to be useful, it is hard core life experiences that shape a person more, and how their understanding of humanity evolves. And that is much harder to assess and doesn't get you published etc etc.

And I bet this bad study could/would be used by populist nationalists etc to justify why exposure to other cultures must be prevented... oh lord.
I think the argument the original poster is trying to make is: statistics say people that eat fish are more healthy, but this is because of certain components of fish (like Omega 3s) and not something only providable by fish. These other sources (like flax seeds for omega3s) aren't shown to have large amounts of toxins. However, because it takes a variety of alternative foods to get all the healthy components in fish - even though an individual will be better off doing that - it would be hard and complex to find enough individuals eating all the healthy things combined to statistically show it's healthier then fish.
Funny, I've been waiting for something like this to surface. About two years ago I was listening to a Swedish podcast. One of the hosts talked about his super model friend who, along with a bunch other super models, had been invited to a dinner with the world's leading cancer scientists. She was seated at the table right next to one of these men and during their chat she eventually pleaded guilty and told him that she was a periodic smoker. His answer was:

— As long as you don't eat fish, you're probably fine, and explained to her that these cancer findings would the next big pile of shit to hit the cancer fan.

The two hosts joked about the irony that supermodels were the first to hear about these findings.

> Sounds convenient but IMHO somewhat beside "the point" of all these pontifications

It is until it isn't; most of the time when I deal with "normal people", they seem to expect getting sick from "bad" food almost immediately, and are confused why I haven't died of cancer already because I'm using artificial sweeteners with my tea. My rule of thumb applies primarily to that kind of situations.

Not denying the importance of long-term considerations, but given the amount of nonsense media publish (c.f. http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/you-cant-trust-what-you-...), I just ignore the topic altogether until some entity like WHO or FDA starts making noises.
I disagree pretty strongly.

You've got worldwide universities churning out masters and pdh-level educated persons, who mostly go to the private sector for employment. Many of those would be perfectly able to perform peer review. And with this p-hacking crisis, mostly due to abject statistical knowledge, there are literally millions of technically able non-scientists able to review this nonsense. Any physicist, econometricist, statistician (and >100 more technical fields) could kindly take a shot at the social science methods in dispute here.
What makes a lock strong?

I think if it's the amount of metal that is inaccessible to the outside. Something like the Haven lock that is bolted to the floor, makes a lot of sense.

That of course requires a way of opening that is digital.

I'll think of the pros of digital locks:

+ The proliferation of protocols makes master keys almost impossible.

+ Faster update cycles when encryption gets cracked.

+ Keys that are handed out to household members or visitors with potential losses can be easily retracted.

+ The above separation of concerns. The way to keep someone out should be separate from the way to ask for permission to enter.

+ The easier integration with other security layers such as face recognition, voice recognition, etc.

It's worth reading the site text to get an impression of Cliff Stoll.

On one hand he's our people, ticking off many of the stereotypical but true geek attributes. He might seem weird to a some people, but I feel like I totally get him as a person even if I disagree with some (a lot?) of his ideas.

On his recent youtube videos he's the closest real life match to Doc Brown you'll find.

I do wonder how he's copyrighted a glass object representing a mathematical surface. Maybe it has to do with the fact that different projections can be made into 3d space, how do design and build the projection, etc.
