Can someone explain to me why the norm for scientific research is to lock papers behind paywalls? That kind of thing has never made sense to me. Isn't a lot of this research publicly funded by the NSF or state universities in the first place?
Your content is being sent to the server encrypted, but it gives you a URL which decrypts it on demand. TLS already does this, right?

Relying on this is a very bad idea. The server could be logging everything and you'd never know. Heck, the server could be imaged at wherever it's hosted and you'd never know. The "burn after reading" feature is impossible to verify. It's just another "Take our word it's doing this" service.

If the website can spit out out a URL that you're then able to view your unencrypted data in, that website is no more secure than pastebin.com. And at least pastebin.com is explicit that everything is logged.

If you want to put the first stage in orbit, then eliminate the second stage engine, and plumb the second stage fuel into the first stage tanks. Replace the central first stage booster's bell with a wider vacuum-optimized bell. Hopefully, the weight saved by eliminating the second stage engine would make up for the reduced efficiency of that central engine, during atmospheric flight.

Easy peasy in KSP. No idea if it is possible IRL.
Here in Vancouver, Canada, the main telco (Telus) started a fibre to the home build out throughout a number of cities and suburbs.
They are offering 150mbps symmetrical fibre for $47/mo (less for the first 3 months), and greater savings if you bundle with TV (which includes 4K).
The main cable company (Shaw) had to up their offering, and now have a 150mbps down/15mbps up for around the same price. Both carriers require multi year contracts.
In some areas of the city that have lots of new high density development, there are some smaller players that are offering faster fibre to the suite options.
Novus offers gig up and 100mbps down for $96. They also have other lower cost plans, as well as monthly add on fees for symmetrical transfer and unlimited data.
Another player, Urban Fibre, offers symmetrical gigabit for $79/mo (when they first launched it was $49/mo).

I wonder about how strong the consumer demand for gigabit internet actually is. If you're reading this, you probably have it or want it if you don't, but if you're the average person looking for a place to live (rent or own), how much will available internet speed be a factor (compared to location, cost, and other considerations like schools, fire stations, nightlife, commuting distances, access to public transit, and so on)?
A family of 4 can all stream different HD content on Netflix with a 25mbps connection. Not many homes would have multiple 4K/UHD displays, so would likely be ok with 50-60mbps.
What else are people needing all this bandwidth right now?
Does it detect penises? I don't want to try it myself.
Many of the cheapest, hackeriest cubesats are deployed into low orbits that decay within weeks or months. Space isn't completely empty, only mostly empty, and even minute air resistance is enough that things like the ISS need to thrust regularly to stay in orbit [1]. I believe it's a common mission profile for cubesats that're built as aerospace engineering senior projects, for example.

It's a shame the article uses soundcloud clips, because I suspect the end sounds aren't the impressive bit. I think it's the user interface that's the interesting bit here.

> In addition to the NSynth “slider” that Engel recently demonstrated at Google headquarters, the team has also built a two-dimensional interface that lets you explore the audible space between four different instruments at once. And the team is intent on taking the idea further still, exploring the boundaries of artistic creation. A second neural network, for instance, could learn new ways of mimicking and combining the sounds from all those instruments. AI could work in tandem with AI.

A video of this would have been much more useful to me.

Remember that way back when it was business as usual to pay $10+ for shipping if you bought online. This meant that if you bought online more than 4 times throughout the course of an entire year, you were ahead. It also allowed you to buy at any time without worrying about the minimum purchase total, increasing buying frequency.

So if there were rumors floating around that you were cheating on your wife with a coworker, would you then turn around and go out to dinner with said coworker, just the two of you? Or would you maybe stay away and let things cool down - regardless of whether you were guilty or not?

At some point common sense needs to enter the equation. And yes, we are the leaders of the free world, and it looks absolutely HORRENDOUS when the president of the United States is colluding with Russia even towards a common goal. How about - if you want our intel you get the hell out of Ukraine? He's getting worked over and doesn't even see it coming, and that's terrifying.

I'm sick of tax dollars funding this postmodern bilge -- opining from ivory towers, appealing to emotions, and fomenting divisions between class and race.

According to a recent report by the ITIF: "Contrary to popular perceptions, the labor market is not experiencing unprecedented technological disruption. In fact, occupational churn in the United States is at a historic low."

There is an enormous opportunity for increased productivity and wealth, and if history is any indicator there will be plenty of work to be done.

How about this. When you use my FDE as a service, part of my payment is selling your computer to me for a nominal fee. So you're never using your computer, you're using mine. And my lease agreement requires confirmation that you're not under compulsion.

Fantasizing a bit, one can imagine a multi-probe EEG net that could report your state of mind. Perhaps the remote processor could be trained to recognize coercion, nervousness, etc.
If we're going to do creative difficult things with orbital first stages, then I would like to see them used as space stations. 3.7m OD should be nice and roomy on the inside.

Even if you want to grow really big engineering isn't always a factor. Startups shouldn't be wasting resources worrying about scaling until they have a decent product. Early on quick iteration times are much more important. As long as things aren't so bad that the code base prevents changes fast and cheap are a reasonable approach for a brand new startup.
Because 2.5G works over 100 meters of cat5e and 5G works over 100 meters cat6, so this can be used on existing cabling that's currently limited to 1G.

This doesn't really matter in data centers and backbones (which is where you see 40G/100G), but it can be useful in access networks (offices, classrooms, etc.) where the business doesn't want to replace existing cable plant.

Yes, it's possible they were all punked. However, these are all very experienced news organizations with a hundred-odd Pulitzer Prizes each. I trust them to do their homework and check with independent sources. Additionally, it's very interesting to see that McMaster's denial does not refute the core point of the news pieces -- he says that Trump did not disclose sources and methods. Nobody is alleging that he did -- the allegation is that he disclosed intel that is so specific that it could only have come from one source.
You're right, it's the response not the request that gets blocked.

What's even worse, modern browsers will make an OPTIONS "preflight request" if you try to make a non-simple cross-origin request with XHR, whether with or without CORS. The actual GET or POST request might be blocked, but OPTIONS always goes through. So if your webapp doesn't distinguish between GET and OPTIONS, and if your GET actions have side effects, you're in for a nasty surprise!
When it comes to the admission process aren't all IMG's considered the same irrespective of citizenship. So 5069 (citizens) + (x non-citizens) compete for the remaining seats (6951). Isn't that correct?

While you are right, there is a difference that you can drive a 20-30-year old (if repaired) car on modern roads but you once you connect a PC with 20-year old OS to the internet, it will get infected. And 20-year old browser will not be able to display modern websites.

Maybe when cars will become more computerized(?) and connected, they will become unusable faster.
The British and the anglo Dominion countries (can/aus/nz) have police that follow Peelian principles. Sir Robert Peel introduced these reforms in 1829, well after the American Revolution, and somewhat in response to the shady practices of the French police during their (post-)revolutionary period. The principles are basically starting from "work with the community" rather than "us vs them thin blue line".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peelian_principles

Mind you, the other countries also don't have a population which has hysterically self-armed itself in the last 2-3 decades. When everyone carries a gun and the police are still expected to do their duty, they have to have superior firepower at the end of the day.
Another wonderful side effect of the vast concentration of capital! Who cares about the peons outside as long as the CEO gets to be in the tallest building?
a. The intel was provided to the USA in confidence by a third party. If the story is true, then POTUS just burned that third party.

b. Apparently this is intel that we haven't shared with any of our close allies. Russia ... is not our close ally

c. The WaPo article paints the picture that Trump went off-script and simply shared the intel to boast about how he gets the best briefings, wonderful briefings.

I can uncheck the box that says "Automatically check for updates". It's trivial to override these perceived "flaws" in OS X.

Try doing that with Windows. The best you can do is peruse some lists that people maintain in places like Github. Maybe those work, maybe they don't. Consequently I've avoided Windows for well over 10 years now (except for XP in a VM, which I use for playing Freecell).

I don't mean the disbelief of 'that never happens' but the disbelief of 'who does this'. No, it is not "perfectly normal". It's gross and beyond the pale.

Stealing Windows Credentials Using Google Chrome
In Shenzhen, I have had both of your experiences. In buying mass market, name brand laptops, legit copies of Windows were normal. But from the same electronics malls, my experience was that almost nobody bought these [much more expensive] computers, and instead preferred the cheap knockoffs with tons of pre-installed pirated software. There were also -- always -- hawkers offering ripped copies of software, music & DVDs on the street outside.
That assumes you're using cargo and it's "fuck the package manager" approach.
To be honest, most of the human interaction I see being eliminated aren't what I'd call "quality time" to begin with. For the most part, the brick-and-mortar commercial world is full of rote interactions with people who are under the gun meet metrics for middle managers and capitalists, in hopes that some of the excess will trickle down. Slightly better are maybe the brokers, who are now obviated by search and decision engines.

And if we rewind a bit further to a time when human capital was literally disposable, well, maybe the trend isn't so bad.

There's much less haggling and forced pleasantry in the world of online commerce. It's up to us to replace that with more meaningful interactions. Make art, play sports, learn to dance, volunteer.

$80k is a substantial amount of money in, say, Houston (4th most populous city in the US) or Phoenix (6th most populous city in the US).

SF's COL is 51% higher than Houston (ie, $80k in Houston ~ $121k in SF), and 73% higher than Phoenix ($80k in Phoenix ~ $138k in SF).

Factor in additional earnings potential for multi-earner households and $80k for a single earner can be quite a lot in the right "major metro area".
Ableton Live 9.7 Suite Full Crack Mac OS X – Crack4Mac
Don't get me wrong, we have a great gig. A fellowship director once expressed shock that I would advice my kids to go into medicine. I asked him "Have you looked for another job? I had a job before this, and had to look for another before I got an acceptance letter, married with two kids. Have you looked at the job market? What other job pays half as much, is half as satisfying, or gives you half as many further opportunities?" His reply: "Yeah, I mean, when you put it that way..."

Well, what other way are you going to put it?!

>just shy of the SLS's 70,000 kg.

Is the SLS system even worth it anymore? They are using repurposed 1970's shuttle era technology at massively inflated costs. To be fair, no one could have possibly foreseen the quantum leap in rocket technology SpaceX has made over the past 8 years since the SLS was designed. But it's beginning to seem more and more like a government welfare program for Boeing rather than an effective launch system.

In my experience, changing unjust laws is at least as hard. Consider the fights against slavery, for women's rights, to end segregation, for gay rights, for gender freedom, and generally for decriminalization of all victimless crimes. Privacy has arguably played key roles for all of them. For peer discussion, for organizing and logistics, for fund-raising, etc. And technology has always played a key role in protecting privacy.
