For my money, kneading is part of the fun. Within reason anyhow. Like the sibling comment says, add fat. I use butter or olive oil. It's hard to go wrong when supermarket bread is your baseline. Pretty much any loaf you bake is better (the occasional inedible experiment notwithstanding.) Here's my approach. Let's call it...

Four Kids Bread -- The Bread You Make When You Have Four Kids And Can't Be Bothered To Do Anything Fancy

Step 1: Mix some flour, maybe three cups, with an equal amount of water and maybe a teaspoonful of yeast and a little less than a teaspoonful of salt. This makes a very wet mix. Put it in a big bowl and cover with plastic wrap.

Step 2: Find a cool part of your living space and let it sit there. Possibly forget that you started bread.

Step 3: A day or three later, whenever you get the chance, remember that you started bread. Come back to it. It smells funky, but there's no fuzz on it so it's probably OK.

Step 4: Add some fat. Half a stick of melted butter, or a couple tablespoons of olive oil. Stir.

Step 5: Add a little flour and stir, continuing to add more until stirring becomes tiresome. Then put some flour on a flat surface and turn the dough out onto it. Sprinkle some more flour on top. Knead the dough until it stops being fun. Add more flour if it sticks to your hands or the surface.

Step 6: Shape it into a cylinder, more or less and put on an oiled baking sheet. Cover and let sit until it looks bigger. Or not. If you don't you'll have a denser loaf. Possibly very dense. But maybe you're in a hurry.

Step 7: Preheat an oven to whatever seems hot enough. 375? Ovens vary.

Step 8: Bake until it's done. I know they say to use a thermometer, but I don't have one so I thump the bread and if it sounds hollow, it's done. Hasn't failed me.

Looks like a lot of steps, but it's really minimal effort. Cheaper and way better than American supermarket bread.
Indeed the attack surface is the same, but now there is an extra incentive to crack the signing process, because you will be able to run an open version of the OS. Cracking the signing process now is useless because the OS image is still the original.

Now, cracking the signing process so that it authorizes a third-party-modified version of the OS is something else completely, but I'm not sure it would make any difference if the attack is done with physical access. It could be useful for remote attacks.
Considering an install valued at $.26 [1], 4.1 million installs (the difference) is worth a bit over a million dollars, in one month.

Either you make enough to make a million bucks a month insignificant, or you just have little sense of scale.

This is not related to experience, but common sense, all big brands of computers should sell legitimate products, such as HP, DELL, as far as I know, they also occupy a large share of the Chinese market, they are large-scale piracy in the Chinese market? Perhaps there may be some misunderstanding or communication problems, as far as I know, some big brands of computer have pre-installed operating system on the hard disk recovery partition, does not provide the operating system install disc, but the restore disc.
> "As long-established trade routes become unsafe, the empire slowly crumbles..."

To be fair, laptops are a fairly new arrival to these long-established trade routes.

> The alternative is a serious hit to worldwide commerce flows.

One way to go about this is to segregate US citizens traveling to the US from everyone else -- literally, different flights. Allow everyone to carry laptops. If a plane explodes from a laptop-bomb, then it's very clear who the public should blame and the incentive for would-be non-citizen terrorists is pretty low.

If a citizen blows up the citizen's plane, then, well, that's pretty much the same as domestic terrorism at that point. Ban laptops for everyone?
> Even so, the US isn't the first to do this. China won't let you take Li+ batteries beyond a certain mAH in your carryon.

The US already has energy limits for batteries in carry-ons[1], they're just not so boneheaded as to preclude laptops.

lets take this a step further. how did NYTimes and Reuters confirm the story? did they use the same anonymous source? did they use a different anonymous source? How would they even know if its an independent confirmation if the source is anonymous in the first place or merely 1 source giving the same information to different news outlets to create the perception that the story has been confirmed independently?

this is sockpuppeting 101: it happens every day on reddit and other internet forums. what makes you think that its not possible when we're talking about russia and the united states?

I find their assertion somewhat disingenuous, in security things are often done (and known to be and deliberately done) in rather inefficient manners - for example algorithms that run in fixed time despite obvious case specific optimisations.

We'd probably be far better off coming up with mechanisms to generate strongly probabilistically unique psudeo-random domains from which we could (on a per cryptographic context basis) generate strong pseudo-primes.

This could most likely be done in a reasonably efficient manner, without resorting to the government backdoor suggested.
The batteries may not catastrophically explode, but if they catch fire, and burn in that enclosed cabin, it will very quickly fill with toxic smoke. It's not very easy to open a window to vent out the cabin mid-flight.
Be that as it may, if Kindle batteries are no larger than phones, they pose no additional risk relative to phones.

Personally I'm bracing hopefully for cheaper business-class airfares.
It occurs to me at this point that airlines probably love the idea of passengers not being allowed to take any entertainment on board with them - that way they'll have to pay 8.99$ to rent a terrible quality movie.
This was already true for the US as well. You can't fly with a laptop battery larger than 100Wh.
According to wikipedia the Falcon 9 has increased GTO payloads from 4,500 kg to 8,000 kg from the 1.0 version to the Full Thrust version. And payload to LEO from 10,450 kg to 22,800 kg.

These improvements have been passed on to the Falcon Heavy, and it's expect to put 64,000 kg into LEO, just shy of the SLS's 70,000 kg.
The only constructive thing I can say is that there is no constructive criticism for the TSA. When are we going to put an end to this security theater that has been proven over and over again to do nothing? I stopped flying years ago. Not every one has this luxury.
You really should stop with the personal attacks.
>we pay a lot for it.

Do we really though? I'm assuming a doctor is a salaried position so the more busy work they get the more hours they work? Doesn't this mean their time becomes less valuable?
I completely agree and I'm grateful I had so many similar opportunities. As a child I had been in airline cockpits and at the controls of a few boats (my father worked in marine operations) and I can definitely associate those experiences to my love for systems and technology. Especially systems with switches!

Unfortunately the systems I work with only have switches written in code. Perhaps I should rig the deploy process up to a sturdy industrial switch panel for fun.
Agreed - I was thinking more of the individuals.
> Brotli does not work over HTTP. Period. It doesn't work, and you have yet to prove that it works.

I really do not appreciate you continually calling me a liar (since I've told you in no uncertain terms that I personally have tested this behavior), especially since all you're doing is an appeal to authority ("Google engineers!") based on a misunderstanding of the issue at hand. You keep claiming you have "evidence", but all your "evidence" proves is that you need to work on your reading comprehension skills, because those pages do not say what you think they say.

> You are basically calling Google and each of these authors that I've linked as liars

Let me try this again:

YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND THIS ISSUE. YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW CONTENT ENCODINGS WORK OR WHAT EFFECT HTTPS HAS ON BROTLI. I AM NOT CALLING THEM LIARS, I AM CALLING YOU INCREDIBLY IGNORANT.

I am done with this conversation. I am not going to respond to any more of your comments. You don't understand basically any part of what's going on here, but you think you do and you won't even acknowledge the possibility that you are wrong. You're also misinterpreting nearly everything I say, because you're not actually reading my damn comments, you're just skimming them looking for things you can argue against. Case in point, your sentence that starts with "First you said it was 40%"; I was talking about tools that speak HTTP, which was extremely clearly from context, and you're completely misinterpreting that as browsers, and what's more you're even putting words in my mouth (literally nowhere did I say 40%).
It's like a different universe over there.
It is easy to find anomalies, wedges between WTP (willingness-to-pay) and WTA (willingness-to-accept) etc in completely hypothetical situation.
Chat rooms/forums/social media etc are human interaction but very removed from the face-to-face kind:

- The timing is completely different (you have seconds, minutes or even days to formulate your answer instead of the fractions-of-a second in direct interaction);

- Modality (it's over text only, you're not even invoking the visual sense, not even talking about the other senses and associated cues. You don't have access to body language and nonverbal communication and you don't have to keep your own under control either)

- Social context (e.g. how many people are, right now, involved in the conversation about this post? Can you even tell? What do you know about the people you're talking with?)

All that is fundamentally different enough from face-to-face that you can leave them out to get the point across.
Interesting question. I didn't read the article and don't know anything about the subject, but maybe you can tell if the chisel marks are 5000 or 35000 years old? Probably not, but just a thought.
SMB predates the internet. It is designed for the LAN.

There was a time when Windows was not internet-compatible unlike another OS I recall using at the time: BSD UNIX.

Then Gates finally gave up trying to understand why anyone would want an internet connection and decided he would dominate the www so he took the TCP/IP stack from a UNIX OS and inserted it into the Windows kernel. Then came "Internet Explorer".

From that day forward, Windows has always been vulnerable.
It has been continuously vulnerable.

Unlike Windows, UNIX has never needed NetBIOS, SMB, CIFS, or whatever Microsoft calls the additonal layers of complexity today. UNIX can directly handle TCP and UDP. UNIX lacks the attack surface that Windows SMB provides, by default.

Microsoft refuses to ackowledge this flaw and fix it. Windows has an an enormous user base. No need to win user over with sensible design. They are already locked in.

In any other industry a product with a track record like Windows would have never been used for internet purposes. But this is no ordinary product. 80% or more of Windows users do not select and purchase Windows. They get it by default with the purchase of a computer. There is no choice.
There is no refund for a defective Windows. Because there was no purchase. Sorry users.

As an end user, I got better "customer service" from the volunteers behind a free open source UNIX-like OS that I ever did from Microsoft.

The best way to make Windows "safe" is to disconnect it from the internet. "Updates" are not going to solve the problem that Microsoft itself has created and perpetuated for over 20 years. Windows was never meant to be connected in the first place. That was not Gates' vision.

And we are still seeing that legacy today.

Rumors of the retirement of Windows, e.g., a Midori replacement, were apparently no more legitimate than a 1990's Microsoft vaporware announcement. Microsoft need not do anything. Monopoly is sweet.

There are other OS besides Windows, open source and available for free, which are better suited to be internet-facing computers. Microsoft alas will never admit this and will continue to encourage, perhaps even require, people to connect Windows computers to the internet.

Microsoft's latest move is to replicate the userland of one of those other OS into Windows. That way the user will get the "benefit" of SMB. (or whatever it is called now)

If the user were using a UNIX-like OS that has no SMB layer on their internet connected computer, then how would they experience the fun of EternalBlue?

Meanwhile a quick read about this latest worm is that it relies on common file extensions to select files for encryption. Does this mean that if the user renames the file extension on her important files from .docx, .xlsx, etc. to .wannalaugh then they will not bet encrypted? Maybe she could xcopy them to .wannalaugh in bulk.
...not to mention that online interaction can be filtered and shaped in a number of ways that are impossible in real life, e.g. through mods or ranking algorithms.
Does it require entanglement? No.

> Direct counterfactual quantum communication on the other hands relies on something other than quantum entanglement. Instead, it uses a phenomenon called the quantum Zeno effect.

Does it violate the speed of light? No.

> It works based on the fact that, in the quantum world, all light particles can be fully described by wave functions, rather than as particles. So by embedding messages in light the researchers were able to transmit this message without ever directly sending a particle.

Is this a sleight of hand? I don't know... ("New system of angular motion doesn't require radians! Uses 'degrees' instead.")

> ...all light particles can be fully described by wave functions, rather than as particles...
Unfortunately, it's not quite that easy since java inlines constants, plus you have to account for package protected, inherited methods, etc. that you don't have to implicitly import. But really, it's the constants that make incremental compilation slower...
> * China won't let you take Li+ batteries beyond a certain mAH in your carryon.*

Various airlines and countries also had limits for years now. 100Wh seems to be a common number.
Somewhere there is an airline in-flight entertainment manager rubbing his hands greedily "Aha! We'll rent approved devices and make people pay for shows on those devices".

In Langley, VA someone in a dark office is also excited "Aha, we'll grab the laptops when they are checked in and root their firmware. It is almost too easy".
Pilot pay SUCKS though. Even once they reach the airlines new pilots are only making about $30k/yr.
This is what I think, too.

The Trump administration might be prone to racist paranoia panics but I don't see what objective this ban accomplishes unless there's some sort of legitimate intel.

Private insurance actually started a lot of these initiatives. If you're a physician with a busy practice, at the end of the month, you'll get a check from all of the big insurance companies detailing how much they're paying you.

It doesn't read, "You saw 100 patients at $100/patient, here's $10,000."

It's more like, "You saw 100 patients, here's your per-patient fee of $50. You prescribed 87% generic medicines, which for a doctor with your patient population in your area underperforms by 2 percentage points, this equates to a $1,400 bonus -- if you prescribed 91% generics, this bonus would be $2,500. Only one of your patients required an off-formulary medcine, your bonus here is $500."

There are a lot of competing interests right now, the formerly independent doctor groups are all merging together, insurance companies are merging, hospitals are merging. There's also a big push for risk-based reimbursement:

What happened to the turn on test? Or something. Or background checks on the passenger manifest. Or some other article of clothing that can be 'shaped'.

Pretty soon we'll need to ride naked.

If I were a conspiracy theorist, I'd start thinking that this isn't out of concerns for safety, but instead an attempt to stop international travel; stop the free flow of thought and people.

> so raising taxes on corporate income won’t affect employment

> It means that profits are pointless except as a way of announcing to your stockholders (and hostile takeover specialists) that your company is a going concern, a thriving business. You don’t need profits to ‘reinvest’, to finance the expansion of your company’s workforce or output

What is he talking about? Higher taxes prevent business owners from hiring more people and from being able to offer decent wage growth. Lower profits de-incentivize companies from taking the risk of starting and running a business and having employees.

80% of small businesses had NO employees. Incentivizing these 23M businesses to hire just 1 person would be dramatic.

Small businesses accounted for 63.3% of net new jobs from the third quarter of 1992 until the third quarter of 2013. [1]

This article acts as if Apple and other mega-corps ARE the economy.

Raising taxes is counter intuitive if we want to create more jobs, especially those that will be more rewarding to people.

Hey if that argument works for you more power to you. I'm not talking about jobs with inflated work hour expectations though. You just happen to have lucked out and found an engineer who both has the skills you want and hasn't figured out the salary game yet. I'm guessing you would react differently if they brought you an actual offer from another company instead of anecdotes about what their friends make.

The AMA caters to a base that is not happy with the influx of IMGs and DOs. The AMA inflates their numbers by auto-enrolling every allopathic medical student. The AMA is equally unhappy that the government using large scale funding levers at the residency level to overwhelm their efforts to tighten supply. By using money and their exclusive access to legislate, the government creates such a Venturi effect that they suck up all the available MDs, and all the available graduates from two other pipelines: the DO programs and the IMGs.

In 2017, the dissatisfaction of the 85% of physicians who don't belong to the AMA is ultimately driven by too much work.

Source: am physician. Have worked primary care, seeing 40+ patients a day, now completing a specialist residency. My work as an underpaid primary care doc was enough to keep 3-5 people fully employed (reception, x-ray certified assistant (sometimes 2), office manager, owner) from 8 am to 10 pm 7 days a week, while sending overflow to others.

Every one of the 85% of physicians who aren't in the AMA declined to renew their membership at some point. Many align with other orgs: almost invariably their specialty's organization, which aligns with the AMA but they are more professionally beholden to (for CME, board certification, etc). Many try to offset the ill effects of the AMA by aligning with other orgs like PSR or MSF or their local public clinics.

But the AMA has a bunch of offices in DC, and has had people in those offices, paying mortgages in McLean or Chantilly, or Silver Spring, <insert DC suburb here> for a century. Those people are motivated to continue their mission of lobbying in support of the legal grip of allopathic medicine, long past their original call to arms (licensure laws to cleanse the field of snake oil salesmen).
Sure, but the op isn't trying to hire a janitor. He is looking for someone with technical experience and social acumen. Those people aren't available for median salaries.
Yeah, blindly interning strings isn't a good idea, but it can be useful for certain use cases. For example, keys of maps where you know the keys won't vary much. It can reduce memory usage, and improve lookup performance (since doing a lookup requires a string comparison).
The CCCP deserves most of the credit there. The reason those services exist is because China has lower wages and much higher density over wider areas. Home delivery has been available for 20 years in parts of the US, but service areas are isolated because there isn't enough demand. Prime Now is still loosing money because there aren't enough people to break even.

> the net gain in jobs since 2000 still stands at zero

Reads surprising to me. The population of US rose since 2000, so to have net gain zero the employment ratio has to fall compared to 2000 - but it's pretty high today. Hm?
