Awesome, I'd totally forgotten about the Nagel.
I guess it's an analogy to burial at sea.

Space is often likened to sea, and space vehicles to ships.
What do you mean by web archive?

I recursively download sites using curl/wget on websites I want to preserve for a long time. Is web archive something different?
That is a time that children have been raised by animals before. Dogs raising abandoned children is not unheard of even now, so the Roman story passes the sniff test for me.
It's a nautical reference. When someone dies at sea, you can't bury them, and you can't burn them, so you commend their souls to the deepness of the water. Spacefaring borrows a lot of traditions from seafaring; the deepest ocean is the one above us.
Wow, incredibly rude. What ever happened to HN civility?
Here's part of that script you're talking about:

wget --recursive --level=5 --convert-links --page-requisites --wait=1 --random-wait --timestamping --no-parent $1

Combine with something to parse out the Chrome bookmarks (it's XML, IIRC), and it wouldn't take too long to nail down.
Yes, and I sync them with Chrome on my phone.

The Bookmarks Bar really has the only ones I regularly use though. Wish it was 2 rows.
Interesting. What I read didn't mention the common carrier issue and consequences.

Gee, again we could use better written news.
Yeah, it says explicitly that the same procedure should be used as for burial at sea. But I thought in Christianity only the body was supposed to remain in the deep and the soul hopefully go elsewhere.
Data Structure Visualizations
I ran across this when I was reading about the "CALL 5" interface that exists in DOS. CP/M [1], the early cross-platform microcomputer OS, provided a set of BIOS routines that you could invoke by setting up a function number and arguments in the registers, then executing CALL 5. DOS system calls are done through interrupts, but in order to make it easier to port earlier 8-bit CP/M programs, you could also use a version of this CALL 5 interface in COM programs. To this day, COM programs are supported in 32-bit Windows, which in my mind means theoretically there might be some CP/M program that would run on Windows as well with a few modifications.

Humans can actually see well in the dark once adjusted but generally without colour (due to using rods rather than cones in the eye). The colour is probably what makes this video appear incredible to us as its not how we are used to percieving darkness (even with eg night vision).

As to the technical question according to this you need 90 photons for a 60% chance at a human response

Is the attribution of the quote in this headline meant to lend it extra weight? Rather ironic.
I can't prove that it's never caused me to be bumped down the list, but I don't think it's every hurt. For anyone where I've gotten to that stage I almost always get the offer. Plus, I feel a lot more confident when I'm being honest and straightforward. Confidence is much more useful in a negotiation than any marginal gain you get by lying.
This is not actually calligraphy (yet). It's just typeface style transfer, which is an probably an important step towards calligraphy.

To be really calligraphy, you would need to train a NN that controls a robotic arm holding a brush.

But to be fair, this work is still Pretty. Fucking. Awesome.
I'm the same way. I use bookmarks constantly and have all of the tools I use for work displayed with no text so they are all just favicons. I also have folders which contain infrequently used links (pretty much never).
I use browser bookmarks frequently, but have few of them. I tend to use them primarily for utilities and other sites that I visit somewhat regularly. Basically the two main cases are 1) sites I visit so often that it's handy to get there with a single click as opposed to a couple of characters in the address bar, and 2) sites with strange urls and/or ones that I access repeatedly but infrequently, so might not remember where to find.

For anything I want to remember for later, or keep for reference material, I clip it to Evernote instead. Find that much more useful, as normally when you're looking for a piece of reference material it's going to be able to remember some keywords from it than the title or where you filed the bookmark. Also means you can easily reference it even if the page is missing or changed in the future.
It's worse and somewhat fascinating. Instead of acquiring human language which leads to normal human consciousness, she'll have acquired the language of the apes and presumably developed a sort of ape-like consciousness. In theory she would exhibit visual memory and recall superior to what humans are normally capable of (like the apes in this article:
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2279528/Memory-chimp...).

Cases like this are so extraordinarily rare that we will probably never really know for certain what the human brain is capable of in these extremes.
ExploitBox.io – Playground for InfoSec Folks into the Art of Exploitation
I think I don't fully understand your challenge as stated, so I'm perhaps not able to give the response you're looking for.

With that said, let's take the way that Netflix implemented DRM via web crypto and encrypted media extensions. Assuming that an attacker is in a position to inject arbitrary code in the browser's execution, the attacker still cannot bypass the server-side implementation (otherwise it wouldn't be DRM). Unless there is an exploitable weakness in the cryptosystem on the client-side that can be meaningfully chained to the server-side, you need to control both areas of execution to break the crypto involved.

When you say "override calls to better ciphers", do you mean something like a downgrade attack, such as in TLS? It's true that you could masquerade the client as a device that is only capable of using a vulnerable type of encryption, but in that scenario the server-side can simply choose to not support it. In fact (again using Netflix as an example), it is more or less a requirement of these cryptosystems that the algorithm's work be distributed between a client and a server for exactly this reason.

If what you're talking about is more of a situation where a rogue software gains access to the DOM while you're using web crypto to have an OTR-encrypted, browser-based conversation with someone else, and they use your secret key in execution to decrypt the other parties' messages: sure. But I'm not sure what's special about that versus client-side takeover of any other cryptosystem. You could just as easily take over Signal on a jailbroken iPhone.
I use bookmarks, but rarely for clicking from the bar. Chrome and Edge promote bookmarked sites in the nav bar suggestions when I'm typing. I usually use descriptive names of the content so I can find stuff I liked or go to often by typing a couple letters.
the seed for a lively Maker culture is there though and I think that's where the article got it mostly right. shenzhen's unique access to a cornucopia of the world's hardware is bound to prompt more open minds to start tinkering and hacking than somewhere else where that sort of organic community growth would have never even taken root. There are definitely limitations - social stigma as you mentioned, a culture that worships the tried and true road to social ladder climbing (good test scores -> good university -> good job -> ??) and looks down on anything else. But then again, that's the whole cyberpunk dream right? it's the losers and the weirdos and the nerds of society that will have outsized impact in our high-tech future. and if any city is destined to be the cyberpunk mecca of 2050, it's shenzhen. love your stuff by the way, you're probably the first exposure alot of westerners have to the Shenzhen scene on reddit and other sites. have you lived in the US? always been curious where you picked up your fluency in english and western culture
According to the article, the DoL has found pay discrepancies and wants more data to confirm its findings. From the article:

Herold added: “The government’s analysis at this point indicates that discrimination against women in Google is quite extreme, even in this industry.”

Wipper said the department found pay disparities in a 2015 snapshot of salaries and said officials needed earlier compensation data to evaluate the root of the problem and needed to be able to confidentially interview employees.

“We want to understand what’s causing the disparity,” she said.

Herold told the Guardian that the department “seeks additional information to ensure the accuracy of the department’s findings, because if the findings are confirmed, this is a troubling situation”.
In China, "Number 88 symbolizes fortune and good luck in Chinese culture" according to Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/88_%28number%29
which is why I thought it nice.

My original comment was downvoted and I didn't understand why. Now I think I know. I just learned that there's another really disturbing meaning of 88. It's used by Neo-Nazis as shorthand for "HH" since "H" is the eighth letter in the alphabet. (You get one guess what "HH" is shorthand for.)

That meaning is NOT nice. It's awful.

Sorry if my comment was interpreted to mean that I thought Neo Nazism or Hitler was nice. That is definitely not what I meant.

(What can I say? I've seen 88 in Chinese restaurants and stores. But I've never seen it used in a Neo Nazi way before. Ugh. Sorry folks.)

Is Wayland better than Mir? I have no idea.

Is Wayland better than Xorg? Yes, or at least it will be.

Wayland and Mir are distinct projects made to solve the exact same problem in the exact same problem space.

Usually this is a fine idea, but Wayland could really use the support that Canonical has avaliable, especially since it depends so heavily on graphics driver support, which Canonical can help push for using its association with NVIDIA (the only graphics manufacturer with a completely proprietary driver now).

Notice that Xorg doesn't have any real forks anymore. That is because it a much better idea to focus driver support on one library (graphics drivers are hard enough as it is). Unfortunately, Xorg has some inherent problems that Wayland is designed to fix; so until Wayland is complete and stable enough to replace Xorg, we need all our graphics drivers to target both stacks (Wayland and Xorg). That's already difficult enough without Mir demanding its own attention.
There is no "ongoing debate." "Open Workspaces" are the cheapest possible way to house workers and are almost the anthesis of what scientific studies have recommended.

Have you ever considered that the management types arguing in favor or open workspaces-- usually work in an office themselves? The last VP I worked for, bought the engineering team a fucking table to work at -- stuck it at the end of a hallway, and literally spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on his office.

The engineering team heard the message pretty loud and clear.
This is good work. Just like a competent IT department should pen test their own network, Tor needs white-hat hackers working to shake out the vulnerabilities.
It's likely pitch black to the human eye, except for the stars. We have Sony A7s, which goes to ISO 409000, and it already is close to night vision, way more sensitive that my eyes, especially paired with a f1.4 lens.

This camera goes to ISO 5 million, which is awesome.

I'm a little surprised that the majority of the answers here are Yes!

I help my parents and my kids work with bookmarks but I have none myself; and I was beginning to think that bookmarks were primarily used by non-technical people. I guess I was wrong!

Everything I need is a simple URL (like, my bank: usaa.com - why would I bookmark that?) or a quick Google search away. If I come across a deep link that's so important that I want to keep it, I email myself the link along with maybe a short description, and it will be searchable forever.

My lack of bookmarks fits with the rest of my "online personality". I have 14,183 threads in my work email inbox and I do not file emails into folders like most of my colleagues. I do not have the desire or the time to manage email folders or browsing bookmarks.

Also, the fact that I browse in a "clean" browser instance in SELinux that saves no history from instance to instance probably contributes to my lack of bookmark use.
I used to but now I dump everything into Pocket. I would only say it's useful because it satisfies my need to horde interesting information.

The right stack is the one you already know. If you don't have such a stack already, the right one is probably the one that it's easiest to recruit/hire people for.

Like @slap_shot says, get something shipped. You should be so lucky as to be successful enough to have to worry about scalability. If you get to that point, you'll probably have enough money to hire enough developers to rewrite it anyway.

That said, here's my personal choice (what we use at Fogbeam):

Web application / server-side: Grails

Web application / client-side: mostly plain old HTML/CSS and some jQuery.

Backend services: mostly Java, running as services deployed as OSGi bundles in ServiceMix. JAX-RS using CXFRS for RESTful services, gRPC for RPC. JMS with ActiveMQ for async messaging. Camel for message routing.

Cloud providers: AWS (EC2, S3, Route 53) for deployment of customer facing applications. Linode for internal apps and basic infrastructure.

Databases: Mostly Postgresql.

Operating systems: Linux, mostly CentOS.

Build tools: Maven

Quoting from the fine article, which you clearly have not read:

“Finally, the micro:bit’s 16 kB of RAM is quite limiting, at least when using the MicroPython runtime. While writing a moderate-size program I managed to repeatedly exhaust the SoC’s memory, resulting in difficult to debug MemoryExceptions. I can easily imagine intermediate users running up against and being confused by this limitation, and would welcome a version of the micro:bit with double the RAM.”

I think in the US that mostly happens through elected representatives. On the small side, it's known as "constituent services": http://www.npr.org/2014/10/28/359615965/constituent-services...

And on the larger scale, you'll often see elected representatives writing to ask pointed questions. As sehug mentions below, Sen. Wyden wrote today to ask about this:

Thanks!

>have you lived in the US? always been curious where you picked up your fluency in english and western culture

No, never been to the West I'm entirely locally educated. When I first posted on Reddit I just tried to reply to everyone- and I was usually on my phone so my English was very careless. After a while I realized my "chat Chinglish" really made it hard for people to take me seriously. I slowed down, started using my computer, Grammerly is a huge help but for important stuff like the above post or my Hackaday article there's a small group of overseas educated friends that help me proofread my posts. I make all my stuff and document it all carefully on video, but you'll see regular disclaimers when my English has been polished for readability (but not content).

I have thousands of bookmarks, and gave up putting them in to folders years ago. Now I just tag them with every relevant keyword that I can think of when I make the bookmark, and search them that way.

Firefox's bookmark manager is very primitive, though, and I've long been meaning to migrate my bookmarks over to org-mode in emacs, where I have much more powerful searching, metadata, editing, linking, commenting, restructuring, and navigating options.

My bank url is hard to remember, and search it on google is risky to be a victim of fake sites. So anything fake-able is on my bookmark.

It's like having a camera, take photos and forget them forever. It's a tool to help you forget things, not to remember, sadly!

Well then, it's a good thing your perspective doesn't matter to me, you've proven you don't have the faintest clue what you're talking about ;)
I think it's a misstatement. The body is normally committed to the deep; the soul is commended to God. But "commend" here means "entrust to", so there's a reasonable reading either way.
> Before anyone even starts — GIMP is...

I understand completely. GIMP has never been very good (though quite usable in many cases). GTK (Gimp ToolKit) is a nice library, though. Krita is much better, but is very focused on painting.

At least you can run a real OS whenever you aren't using that specific software. Any reasonable linux distro will use <10gb including all the software you really use, and have a nice automated installer to shrink your windows/mac partition and install in the empty space.

Sure it's not ideal to have to reboot, but with solid state drives, rebooting isn't very much hassle anymore.

But if jobs that could be remote are not accepted to be allowed to be remote by employers - why would those folks be ok with working during a commute? If anything, if sounds like an employee may not be at 100% focus. I don't even like reading in a car while it's moving.

I mean, I hope this becomes the case but I think employees will need to ask for it more.

You're reading too much into it. The astronauts are too far away to reliably monitor; NASA will eventually "end communication" on the presumption, but not the verification, of the astronaut's death.
No, but I use pocket. I put links to technical stuff in there that I intend to read, but I rarely look at it. Maybe I'll start remembering to after this thread. I noticed a while back that pocket allows you to dump them in a text format; I was intending to do that and store in a git repo or my gdrive, so that I would be more confident I'd have them for the rest of my life. I sort of don't really know where chrome's bookmarks are kept, which makes me less inclined to use them, but that's almost certainly lazy/ignorant of me.

I always wondered why scholars feel it necessary to draw lines between modernity and antiquity. Surely there's no real dividing line. I can't think of any "modern" philosopher whose work was so revolutionary that it broke completely from the philosophical traditions started in ancient Greece and the near east. Does drawing an arbitrary line in the sand between ancient and modern really help us better understand philosophy?
