I think you might be misunderstanding what "the final solution" was meant to solve.. it was not meant to solve an economic problem per-we but to solve the racists view of the Jews by killling them all.. so i think it is fair to say that the final solution of killing all the Jews was most definitely involved a desire for a genocidal war.

Yes - I worked on this as well. Very similar concept to some of the other solutions here. Self-hosted (keep mail internal, fast) - Invent any email address you like (†), trap it all here. View it via the app, or query via REST. Designed to be open, this is really useful when you don't want to have to setup mailboxes, or deal with the additional header of catch-all addressing. I'm currently adding attachment support for the next release.

† This comes with the caveat that you don't use PII, because people make configuration mistakes - but if that's how you do testing, then I'd argue you have bigger problems in your organization than capturing mail. We use it with somefakeguy@ourdomain.com, someotherguy_datetime_from_automatedtest@ourdomain.com, rather than just sending stuff to _real_ addresses.

I had never come across this type of ad in the movie theater until I started going to local theaters. For decades I was going only to Big Mega-Chain theaters because they were the only ones available -- and none of them ran local ads.

And yet, aren't they -removing- hardware? And as a result, a whole new slew of their autopilot getting _worse_ is hitting the Internet. And some of those are really embarrassing - sunny day but not blinding brightness, clear line markings and the car will just veer into the oncoming lane, or entirely off road with little to no warning.

No. There is no place in the world for antisemitism, homophobia or other right-extremist views. These "opinions" are direct threats to people. And when the state, as it often does, fails to protect the marginalized, then in my opinion nearly anything is acceptable to stop these "opinions" from being expressed.

We in Germany already have seen what happens when you let Nazis speak out and act in free, and the same goes for Stalinist ideologies - and also in America we see what happens. Evil to the core, all of it.
Why do you think neuroscience is a better way to learn about human behaviour (which is what psychology deals with)? Neuroscience is incredibly difficult and the brain is super complex. We have learned far far less about human behaviour through neuroscience than through psychology studies.

Learning about behaviour through neuroscience is working at the wrong level of abstraction, we're not capable of comprehending large systems at low levels.

You cite bias in psych studies, but neuroscience has lots of issues too. See fmri study that can find results on a dead salmon. Also inability of neuroscience tools to figure out what the net of a tiny microprocessor does, let alone anything larger.

I think one of the difficult things is that volatility (and speculators) do play a role in a coin succeeding, as speculators make the 'network effect' problem of altcoins easier to overcome.

There's next to zero reason for a random merchant to accept an altcoin unless there are people using it, and unless that coin is known. Speculators and volatility are very big generators of noise that gets the coin noticed and helps bring in actual for-the-sake-of-the-coin holders, which then makes the coin itself more attractive to a merchant (as there are people who wish to use the coin).

As much as coin purists may like to speak derisively of speculators, I believe that altcoins would be nowhere without those who have come in to the game to try to earn money off of the volatility.
Citing Google's blog post for Android security is not very convincing. If Android is so secure, why are we seeing (often more frequently than) weekly headlines on Android security woes, often containing something like "millions of devices affected" (and often enough, no fix in sight)?

Also, quote from linked blog post:

> only 0.05 percent of devices that downloaded apps exclusively from Play contained a PHA.

1. What percentage of Android devices download apps exclusively from Play? They don't say. I, for one, have quite a few not so technical friends who sideload stuff. Also, pretty much all Android devices in Mainland China don't qualify for this criterion, and that's a huge number.

2. Given the track record of malware in Play Store, the number of devices containing a PHA is probably much larger than that of ones containing a known PHA.

> many many devices have never received any security patch to address Stagefright and yet most users aren't affected.

Not sure how you even know that. Not all exploits are visible.

"I have to imagine that ATMs are designed to resist drilling three inch holes through to the money or the dispenser mechanism"

I would use a hole saw (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hole_saw), and would think it fairly hard to protect a large enclosure against that. Locally strengthening the enclosure might be enough, but chances are thieves would start drilling around it to remove a larger patch or start employing an endoscope to connect something to the serial port.

Hardware-wise, it probably is easier to glue the connector shut, giving up on using the diagnostic port.

We're at a precarious time in history when journalism is being used particularly effectively as an intentional disinformation tool. "Real journalism" unfortunately does need to be distinguished. Free speech doesn't encompass fraud.
Why limit the discussion only to H1B visas? Companies such as Citigroup use external contractors such as First Derivatives to hire thousands of workers on E2 Investor visas. These immigrants displace US workers earning a much higher wage. E2 visas have no salary cap. So my colleague earning $120,000 was replaced by a Citibank E2 visa holder earning $30,000. This is unfair to US citizens that pay their fair taxes and a misuse of the Investor visa scheme.
Not entirely sure how you might have reached that conclusion. Anyone dedicated to their craft will naturally --out of sheer interest-- devote time and effort to getting better at it.

For example, as a young EE I was constantly reading data books (yes, physical data books) and application notes. I had hundreds of data books and probably went through all of them twice and some several times. I could, at the time, talk about almost any chip from any of the major manufacturers and knew where relevant application notes existed for most problems. My employers did not mandate that at all. I was truly interested in what I was doing.

Someone interviewing me at the time would have learned a heck of a lot more about me if they asked me something as simple as "Can you tell me about a few interesting chips and how you would use them?" rather than asking me to design a low pass filter with a given frequency response using a specific op-amp.

The deep dive I am talking about does not require anyone disclosing code done for their existing employer. Nobody wants that.

Frankly, I would also want to know about life outside of work. However, given our laws you have to be very careful about how you might probe for such information. I feel very strongly that our legal system has, to one degree or another, sapped all humanity out of our work life. I've worked in other cultures where it is perfectly normal for people to greet each other with a kiss on the cheek and a hug or pat on the back in the morning. In the US almost any physical contact can land an employer in court and a manager in serious legal trouble. But I digress.
> The big name in early computer architecture was Von Neumann, who laid out the basic architecture of the stored-program binary digital computer, which is what we use today. (Read the report on the EDVAC; it's a classic on computer architecture. The one thing he missed was the need for index registers.)

This is incorrect. Von Neumann wrote the report, and it was circulated with only his name. As a result the architecture is attributed to him, despite the fact that Eckert and Mauchly came up with it and wrote about it a few years before Von Neumann was even part of the project.

> The reality of early computing was that electronic arithmetic was worked out well before WWII. James W. Bryce of IBM was working on an electronic multiplier in 1934, ...

Turing's famous paper was published in 1936. Calculation machinery should be attributed to Babbage, and Turings contribution went beyond simpler fixed function machines.

Here's Frankle's words on the topic:

"I know that in or about 1943 or '44 von Neumann was well aware of the fundamental importance of Turing's paper of 1936… Von Neumann introduced me to that paper and at his urging I studied it with care. Many people have acclaimed von Neumann as the "father of the computer" (in a modern sense of the term) but I am sure that he would never have made that mistake himself. He might well be called the midwife, perhaps, but he firmly emphasized to me, and to others I am sure, that the fundamental conception is owing to Turing— in so far as not anticipated by Babbage… Both Turing and von Neumann, of course, also made substantial contributions to the "reduction to practice" of these concepts but I would not regard these as comparable in importance with the introduction and explication of the concept of a computer able to store in its memory its program of activities and of modifying that program in the course of these activities."

Turing absolutely deserves the acclaim he receives, and it has nothing to do with him being "a poster child for the gay movement". I'll have to stop at this point to avoid crossing hnews policies re personally directed comments.
Why is maintainable code the goal and not expressiveness, or being able to write close to the domain?

Not that being maintainable isn't a worthy goal or that expressiveness and DSLs can't be maintainable, just wondering why it would be the primary goal.

Reading into that it sounds like they had name, birthday, and the issuing officer saying, "yes, that was her".

If the officers can't reliably witness they shouldn't be a part of the process. There should be enough records taken at the time of the ticket that the officers unreliable testimony shouldn't be needed or used.

My manager dropped a bomb on me about 20 years ago as a young engineer and had me be a liaison with some of the people doing research on the Pi calculus.

Still somewhat shaken to this day by that very first meeting, it really didn't go that well.

I really don't grok the math behind it and it is very nice to see this pop up, and Bartosz definitely knows his stuff. I'll give it another whirl. Hats off to him for trying to make it approachable.

Also Brian Beckman and others have often had interesting things to say in these areas.

These days I understand the formal math behind it even less than I used to, which is to say abysmally; however it did teach me some things about how to think about composition that have subconsciously been influential I think over the years.

Nice post.
I can confirm this. I used to work for a major ATM supplier and this was the answer I got every time I asked bank personal about the lack of physical security. They would compute the average loss from burglarized ATMs against the cost to install and maintain better alarm systems and decide against it.

I agree with you, but I am worried that antisemitism, homophobia, and bigotry in general is the sort of thing that crops up on its own; it can't be eliminated by silencing it. Post-war Germany for instance attempted to suppress Nazism, but it's still around 70 years later.

I am totally willing to accept the theory that Germany did not suppress Nazism enough, but I'm worried that's not actually the answer.
I can accept the claim that it reduces the incentive to work (a bit), but not the claim that there is any trap that prevents upward mobility.
I have nothing but respect for the journalists of Mexico and the incredibly valuable and dangerous job that they do every single day so I hope it doesn't come off as to condescending or uninformed to suggest that journalists wanting to investigate drug cartels and the government should set up underground printing presses. During World War 2 many resistance members did so in countries occupied by the Axis Powers and they were able to print and distribute their newspapers out under the most dangerous conditions imaginable [1][2].

Of course, in 2017 it's easier to set up a clandestine press organization using the internet, but I'm certain that there are many valuable lessons to learn from WW2.

why would you say "no offense" except to precede posting something offensive? I think you meant to offend.

do mean tweets count as death threats in the same way that international drug cartel kidnapping your sister does?

can I add that I'm offended that you're conflating the two? please don't do that. it seems like you're making light of the real violence going on in Mexico, and also promoting a biased and unfair narrative that makes women seem much weaker and more helpless than they actually are.
"Rush hour" is actually a pretty long distribution of time compared to the average length of a person's commute. I imagine just considering commuting, you could likely get close to half the amount of cars required with car-sharing, since you may get in at 7:30 and I may get in at 9:00. And you could provide good price incentives to convince people to mix up their commute times a bit. I already know people who push their times significantly to avoid traffic just due to the stress aspect.

You'd be forgiven for thinking, logically, that something which works in two dimensions would do everything that something which only works in one dimension would do. Unless the two, in fact, were intended for entirely different purposes, in which case the dimensions would be irrelevant.

I'm not sure the process which has resulted in both CSS Grid and Flexbox was really much grounded in logic (or common sense), though.
