You're right that there are always tradeoffs, but it isn't clear that Ruby takes the other side of many of Elixir's. Some examples: Elixir requires a VM installed on the target machine (unlike Go, C, C++, etc.), it doesn't have strong type checking (unlike Java, Scala, Haskell, etc.), it doesn't have a strong data science story (unlike Python and R), it can't be conveniently used as a dual front- and back-end language (unlike javascript, TypeScript, etc.). But Ruby is on the same side of all those tradeoffs.

Someone mentioned that Ruby is more useful for scripts because libraries can be installed and used at the system level; that seems true to me, so that's one example. But I think the main tradeoff that Ruby wins on is maturity. Which is a big deal to be sure.
> So it's probably already more effective to attack wallets than join a mining pool.

That's not how you make the calculations. The reason the idea was called stupid is because the math doesn't add up. My guess is that these 3 private keys had weaknesses in them. Even the probability that they were found by "luck" is way far off.

Given merge mining is possible, I'd assume with some tweaking side-colliding + mining is possible. So if it was profitable miners would already be doing it.
What about Confucianism? It's odd to read an article about religion in China that doesn't even mention it (other than reference to the temples, which I assume were Confucian).

Perhaps there's something I misunderstand. AFAIK Confucianism isn't a religion worshiping a supernatural being as much as a philosophy and culture which includes ancestor worship. But my understanding, based on a little reading and study of my own, is that it played a very similar role to religion in Western countries.

Generally speaking, it was the 'religion' of China from around 250 BCE until at least 1911.
Just look at the eastern bloc after the fall of the USSR. Religion returns.

Your actions contradict your words though. None of what this guy said about education matters to you because ideas from "this kind of person" is the overwhelming factor to you. Who cares if he has a point about college if he doesnt towe the feminist line, basically.
https://lite.twitter.com just launched, eventually that may show a preference either way.
Thanks! It's a pity that the SCSS is basically undocumented, as I use it in most projects and it has really awesome features that only I know. But the time sink would be tremendous and I'm focusing on another project right now.
No, it's not. If a user chooses a 'no purchase' option then it means that the product assortment offered was not worth it for the price. That means Amazon needs to change the assortments of products it offers users. If a user chooses to purchase elsewhere, it means Amazon needs to improve the website.

Yes, that was my suggestion: non-Latin domains MUST be in the non-Latin TLDs, with additional constraint that non-Latin TLDs cannot look like already registered Latin TLDs. In a twist of irony, Russian word "сом" (roughly pronounced as "some") means "catfish" (the animal, not the action of catfishing though).

I love skeleton. Unfortunately it's difficult to change the colour scheme on that framework. I wish a new version would come out which allows me to uniformly change colours throughout the page.

Otherwise for all my needs it's pretty much perfect.
I completely agree. It makes me wonder if these authors really believe what they are saying or if they are trying to spin a narrative that helps them sell books?

The other annoying thing that Western authors on China do is attribute everything to "face" and try to use this point as a huge distinction between Chinese and Westerners.
Curious why the user didn't click back instead of on the home button around slide 70-75. It would have saved them about 50 slides or so and 10-15 minutes of real time. They clearly saw the back button later around slide 120. The micro-pessimization of looking at the account creation flow before attempting to book a flight also seemed somewhat unnecessary.

While it is not an excuse for the poor design, I am not sure why you would search award travel if you don't have any points/miles to redeem nor even have an account. They even leave the boxes unchecked by default. Clearly a better UI would have process equally streamlined both for new users and for customers with United miles/points to spend.
Maybe radiology is an exception (or my understanding is outdated), but from what I've read, a large portion of the medical industry is doctor-owned. For instance I've read that doctors provide a large portion of the investment pool for big ticket diagnostic equipment, and for businesses such as clinics, provider systems, and malpractice insurance companies.

i'm not sure about your particular issue, but every time i had to choose between being smart and generic with serialization over being straightforward and boring ( at the cost of writing one small line of code for each and every property), i always choose to stay boring.

Not only is it nicer to the person that's going to maintain your code and may not know about your smart trick, but with generic code there is always an exception that makes you need to write some code somewhere that breaks the abstraction.
I suppose it could hurt them (and no amount of shell companies would make a difference) if the individuals behind this were to be exposed.

Well this was pretty scary. Anybody got a link to the chrome canary fix? And what about mobile browsers?

I consider myself to be quite a bit privacy concious. But how do you even protect against something like this? IMO there should be a clear opt-in unicode URL character conversion in browsers.

I follow one of the people who was first to test these exploits out. They're not actually an amateur, but they did forget to patch their test VMs. Just like a lot of the other people who replicated the results.
16 years in China (many cities and towns and villages) here. No evidence of religion except in strange cases where they have a Christian family and go to government-approved/run churches. My wife is muslim and the general situation is that while they don't eat pork, people drink alcohol and wear normal clothes and are otherwise perfectly the same as regular Chinese people. They only go to the mosque for weddings and funerals. Other comments are correct re: ritual (particularly in Confucian cases) far trumps any notion of what westerners would label religion.

ie. Basically the entire notion of the article is bullshit. (Sorry to left-wing NPR-worshipping American friends, and "Pullitzer prize winning" Beijing-dwelling author trying to sell a book)
It's because Virtual 8086 mode is unavailable in long mode. So either you would have to switch the cpu in and out of long mode (which probably has a performance penalty and complicates the code), or use the more general purpose virtualization support (which may not be available), or just emulate everything. It not surprising that Microsoft just decided that it wasn't worth it.
Of two dogmas that are opposite to each other one must be closer to the truth. Guess which one it is.
So they say don't do an interview and see how people answer questions - that's a bad way to hire. Instead, do an interview with a survey (is it validated?) and see how they answer questions.

I think it's silly. The power difference between the interviewer/ee is huge, of course the interviewee is going to try and find the right answer - whether or not they actually believe it themselves.

Maybe MDs are used to getting our asses kissed during interviews, but I would never work for a firm that gauged my truthiness in some shitty survey.
The Shadowbrokers were trying to sell these exploits. There's screenshots from ~90 days ago with these all listed for sale with slightly modified names.

This probably explains why MS skipped February's patch day. They were extremely busy fixing all of these and wanted to do them all at once.

Barriga de Cerveja Como Perder Diminuir de Vez
My father has been a truck driver from the late eighties on.

He is from rural Mexico and became a naturalized citizen of the US in his early 50s a couple years ago. The extent of his formal education was through 6th grade which was the furthest offered in his area when he grew up; he has had no further contact with the educational system since then.

In the nearly three decades that he has been driving trucks he has routinely won driver of the year awards as well as other frequent commendations for excellent performance in all job aspects while not a single time receiving a reprimand for uncivil or unconstructive conduct in any situation. His previous job experience before entering trucking in the 80s was a bit of construction work followed by quite a few years of dairy work; not places where he would have frequently encountered and worked along side better educated people that would have given him the opportunity to pick up on their habits and means of operating.

I believe that his example shows that it is not necessary to go through eighth grade to learn these skills; I suspect that rather than eighth grade imparting superior skill towards functioning in society, it is instead a filter for those students that our one-size-fits-all school system fails to accommodate that then disposes those students outside of the system without any recourse or additional assistance which sets them up for a failed and miserable life in many cases.

For what it's worth I have worked jobs between high school and college where I met people that graduated high school but lacked the ability to anything as slightly complex as the activities that you described. Eighth grade and beyond did not seem to have much effect in imparting those skills to them.
I tried the United app last year. I was in Austin, about two hours before my flight.

I signed in and expected my flight info. Nope. Instead, they asked for my confirmation number. Remember, they know who I am and the current time. Why else would I open the app?

I checked the "airport maps" page assuming it would show Austin. Granted, as my home airport, I probably don't need a map but maybe my destination? Nope, Cleveland.

Delete.
> The most elite companies in the valley have correctly found out that remote doesn't work (in most cases)... and yet we're going to do remote with our students?

I can't name a single "elite company" that doesn't rely on consultants at some point. Most of these consultants do work remote. So... if it works for some people, why can't it work for every person?

It's not correct that remote work doesn't work.

Remote work doesn't get embraced by a lot of companies because they care about things outside of the results. Managers / decision makers care about "seeing" people work (I suspect this has more to do with narcism than anything else, but probably also a bit because they don't know how to use Google Hangouts and / or can't put the same level of emotional pressure on people via a monitor), HR cares about establishing "culture" and somehow that's accomplished by having people play foosball (but not Overwatch) together.

Anyway, because of all this crap, we're forced to waste 2 hours a day commuting -- and who knows how long shaving, dropping off dry cleaning... and all that other crap we do just so we can go into an office). Then we sit in shitty big open spaces that are horrible for introverts or anyone who needs focus to get their job done and waste a ton of time trying to figure out who to go out to lunch with and what to have for lunch and how to decorate our cubes / desks...

Anyway, look... all I'm saying is that every company uses remote workers when the shit hits the fan and results are all that matter. The fact that they don't embrace it for all employees... it has more to do with management being petty and insecure, or technologically short sighted, or trying to make the drones look busy to investors than it has to do with anything else.

It does not matter what the education is in particularly, it is the skills of being able to do basic things like work without disrupting others, being able to write and being able to learn that matter.

Which should be what a high school diploma indicates. Otherwise, what the heck are we doing with kids for 12+ years?
No, that's not the only issue (it's not just that it doesn't have enough adversarial samples), as you would know if you'd read the papers involved.
Drupal is GPL, so a module written specifically for Drupal must always be redistributable under GPL as well since it's a derived work. That places a natural limit on the feasibility of module purchases, since anyone could buy it and then mirror it for free.

The correct answer here is that if you don't like Drupal's free & community-focused development model, you're likely better off switching to some off-the-shelf software. Alternatively, you can pay a consulting company to maintain the module, which is how many of them get written anyway (and then given away for free). So if you focus on modules with commercial backing, you've got a pretty close approximation without giving up GPL freedoms.
They also need to keep detailed log books,

>pass inspections

CDL school deals with that.

>know how to talk civilly and constructively to DOT inspectors.

If you're talking to DOT anywhere other than a weigh station you're already screwed. If you're talking at a weigh station you need to know about three sentences of english.

You seem to think every trucker is an owner operator. Most are just "steering wheel holders" for a big dry van company. You don't need a high school degree for that. English literacy would probably be beneficial but I would say it's not a hard necessity.

Education credentials don't matter much anyway since many truckers are immigrants who speak little English (it works well for them for a variety of reasons) and who's education level doesn't map well onto the US system.

Basically, if you can pass the CDL exam you can move a dry van from A to B

Tootsuite/mastodon Issue#1847: Media content caching strategy
I might agree that a hypothetical crappy employer would want those things. Every employer I've worked for wanted good programmers, and that's all they wanted.
Worse is better. Sure, making the internet safe from the start seems technically superior, but I guess that it would have delayed adoption so severely we wouldn't have come out ahead.
As a religious person that is routinely mischaracterized by others I'm not sure if I put any stock in your ability to characterize Christians in China simply because you've encountered some. Especially when you throw around words like "unstable".
It's like you're angrily agree with the OP.

> I am not sure why you would search award travel if you don't have any points/miles to redeem

Well in this day and age of award bonuses, sign up awards, maybe they believed they might have some already. This wasn't made apparent in the app.

Yeah, but the risk from contact lenses comes over time as it's a risk every time you put your lenses in where with laser correction the risk pretty much only exists while you are healing. You really only have to avoid getting stuff in your eye while the bandage lens is in.

Everything I've read about comparing the risk notes this factor.

I'm sure that if you wear contacts perfectly all the time the risk is very low, but as we all know people do stupid things.

That said, the decision to get surgery was more about not having to deal with glasses or contacts every day and less about the risk.
you answered your own question, it's not religion but philosophy, similar to Buddhism which ain't religion too, depending on definition
That's a completely normal practice in Catholicism.
> With internet speeds only getting faster

They're not getting faster uniformly. Even on my phone, one minute I have high-speed LTE, the next minute I'm on EDGE. Happens a lot during inter-city travel. Not many things piss me off like "simple" sites that fail to load on weak connections, because they're too bloated.

Multiplied times the number of users, efficiency improvements in popular software translates to saving quite a lot of electricity. Something worth consideration, IMO.
They're cracking a challenge with intentionally weak keys.

They're not cracking addresses generated by normal wallets.

What we would rather see succeed really has nothing to do with what will ultimately succeed.

India Is Too Poor, Snapchat Is for the Rich People – Evan Spiegel
Custodial work like a live-in housekeeper performs covers a very large range of skills I've yet to see successfully automated in a single package. Sorting/pre-treating/running laundry (including identifying dry clean items to set aside), folding and putting up clothes (including setting aside and matching missing items like socks, accessories, etc.), loading/unloading/put up dishes (including all the kitchen gadgets that go into the dishwasher), identifying and hand-washing kitchen items, dusting/cleaning (including knowing when to take care around fragile items), cleaning the kitchen,..., the list is quite long.

Just folding clothes is only commercially automated in very expensive and limited contexts (can fold shirts, but not blankets), and it won't put up the items for you. There are any number of restaurants that would love a kitchen-cleaning robot that guarantees that part of the restaurant inspector's rounds is always taken care of to a consistent degree. Just a robot modified from a pick and place solution to declutter by putting up out-of-place items and remembering where everything is located would find a large market. We're nowhere near good solutions for these and many other "simple" skills, much less mass market solutions.

I sometimes wonder if a giant "donut" job market will develop: many pattern-based very high-end specialties get automated, and many extremely low-end (Roomba, for example) ultra-repetitive tasks get automated, but lots of low'ish end jobs like custodial work stubbornly remain. Above the income strata of those low'ish end jobs in the middle sits a group of steadily-insecure positions as automation constantly nibbles away at their edges from the higher-end income stratas.

People are currently discussing about the legal implications of storing images coming from federated Mastodon instances. A lot of this stems from an influx of users at pawoo.net, a Mastodon instance set up by Pixiv, posting CP and CP-like content. While Pixiv explains that these images are legal in Japan where the servers are hosted, a lot of the instances federated with pawoo have jurisdictions setting such images as illegal, or at least immoral. As response, a lot of instances have defederated from pawoo.
I love Picnic; thank you for your contribution.
If this kind of attack is feasible, then maybe one should have several wallets and spread one's Bitcoin funds among these wallets, to dilute the risk. Maybe one wallet could be used just for receiving external transactions, but its funds could be immediately transferred to other wallets. Or maybe there are also weaknesses to this approach...

I'm not currently a Bitcoin user, and ambivalent about Bitcoin's virtue, but still hope that this kind of attack turns out to be fruitless and impractical.
