On a laptop, it shouldn't be too hard to have a dual-boot system where OS 1 has nothing of interest, and OS 2 is temporarily hidden from the boot loader.

Alternatively keep the main OS on a USB or hard drive, and get that in/out of the country by other means.

There are other options. Generally, carrying obviously visible sensitive files with you in person is not a necessity.

I always thought a data model should be as agnostic to the system architecture as possible. Insofar I don't understand how a system architecture can help to avoid data model migrations.
What about qt isn't 'beautiful'? It's very close to native for most widgets, and the cool thing about QT is that you have the perfect ability to make your own widgets and theming. The comparison here is electron, which certainly is not going to look like anything native, and QT can be themed almost the same. Not the same css support, certainly, but I don't think Github desktop would be too problematic in that regard.
The really broad, overarching point of the article is that a treatment facility was getting good results in children previously considered hopeless. The novel technique is using positive, rather than negative, reinforcement. It seems kind of ironic that the one technique nobody thought to try was being positive.

That is to say backups with multiple stored versions, to another system where the (infected) client does not have direct write access. Ransomware can infect my home directory if it wants to. A fire can burn down my house. Zaphod Beeblebrox can cause my hard drive to experience a spontaneous existence failure. But I've got off-site automatic backups, so I'll never pay the ransom. (I will pay more over time for the off-site storage, but given that I'd pay for that anyway to guard against natural disasters / disk failure / etc it's not really an added cost).
No one has time to examine every line of source code in the 3rd party applications that we use. That being said it irks me when people don't at least isolate their sensitive material. There are many solutions available including virtualization and jails to run 3rd party applications with less risk involved.

If you need a migration library because you added a column to your database, then you have a serious problem.

If you need a migration library because you don't know how to write SQL, then you have a serious problem.

If your data structure is truly changing that often, then you shouldn't be using a SQL database in the first place, and you have a serious problem.

There's a huge gradient between being a vegetable and virtually dead and suffering a minor injury that leaves you permanently crippled but in a way that isn't a big deal.

Where along that spectrum will you draw the line? Is that even possible to describe without being needlessly cruel, like someone who lost the use of both hands due to a stroke is killed but someone who lost the use of one hand and one leg gets to live?

These sorts of decisions should be left in the hands of those who are most impacted by it: The person in question. I'm a supporter of more dignified end-of-life options, of people being able to opt-out of life-saving treatment if they think it's not worth the fuss or the outcome is undesirable.

There's still a huge difference between someone electing to die with dignity because their cancer treatment has a 10% chance of delaying the onset by a few years, but a 100% chance of making their life a living hell for the duration, and someone who's told they're too ill to live and has their life abruptly terminated.

Yes, and everything is application/octet-stream, so why have mime types? Because it helps with tooling, discovery, and content negotiation. It is a hint for the poor soul who inherits some undocumented ruby soup calling your endpoint.

Being as specific as possible with mine types is a convention for a reason. Please don't break it unless you have an explicit reason to.
It's also definitely been used on Twitch in exactly the way it was with those they "copied" it from. They cracked down on it, but there's only so much you can do with dress code policies et c.

Highly active and durable self-standing WS2/graphene hybrid catalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction
Is it this paper? https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&h...

Direct PDF link: https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Zhenhuan_Zhao/publicati...

Abstract: A variety of catalysts have recently been developed for electrocatalytic oxygen evolution, but very few of them can be readily integrated with semiconducting light absorbers for photoelectrochemical or photocatalytic water splitting. Here, we demonstrate an eﬃcient core/shell photoanode with a highly active oxygen evolution electrocatalyst shell (FeMnP) and semiconductor core (rutile TiO2) for photoelectrochemical oxygen evolution reaction. Metal−organic chemical vapor deposition from a singlesource precursor was used to ensure good contact between the FeMnP and the TiO2. The TiO2/FeMnP core/shell photoanode reaches the theoretical photocurrent density for rutile TiO2 of 1.8 mA cm−2 at 1.23 V vs reversible hydrogen electrode under simulated 100 mW cm−2 (1 sun) irradiation. The dramatic enhancement is a result of the synergistic eﬀects of the high oxygen evolution reaction activity of FeMnP (delivering an overpotential of 300 mV with a Tafel slope of 65 mV dec−1 in 1 M KOH) and the conductive interlayer between the surface active sites and semiconductor core which boosts the interfacial charge transfer and photocarrier collection. The facile fabrication of the TiO2/FeMnP core/shell nanorod array photoanode oﬀers a compelling strategy for preparing highly eﬃcient photoelectrochemical solar energy conversion devices.
And if they do stop the ship, no point sending in an armed rescue force. Just park a destroyer outside and wait for the pirates to run out of food.
So, uh, do catalysts like this reduce the waste heat you get when electrolyzing water with a cruder setup? Because there's nothing but a specific minimum energy input that's going to break the bonds between hydrogen and oxygen.
And what it is if not a physical phenomenon?
> why not make the reuse optional?

Well, it is optional. You can just not divide you stuff and place everything inside the main app. But notice the article recreates the same layer of reuse inside the main app, and got some extra problems because of it (renaming the tables is probably caused by this).

Django may need an extra paragraph at the tutorial, telling how it is ok to place everything on the main app when everything is application specific software, and how you should break generic functionality on other apps.

By the way, what would be reverse Dunning-Kruger?
An interesting read, thanks a lot!
I'm curious to know, just from a general understanding - How much of the situation changes when Java 9 releases? Will it lead to some features in Kotlin becoming redundant/unnecessary, some other new features open up in Java 9, grass-is-greener situations, etc?
It's kind of tough to convert XML directly to other formats (including, but not limited to, JSON), because there are a lot of XML features that don't map cleanly onto JSON, such as:

• Text nodes (especially whitespace text nodes)

• Comments

• Attributes vs. child nodes

• Ordering of child nodes
But this makes it very obvious you've reset your phone. Which is a red flag - although not technically illegal, so far.

You really want something that looks like an in-use device and gives no hint that you have sensitive files stored anywhere else.
Data structure, both storage, and in-memory, are very much a part of architecture.
Yeah, it's definitely interesting. I wonder if ransomware developers just don't overlap much with botnet developers. It has to be pretty hard to find customers to really make money running a botnet unless you're already deep in that industry.

It's cool for a variety of technical reasons, but if you just want to run a booter, you're better off using reflection attacks today than a botnet. Things like proxying web traffic to random home machines, performing layer 7 attacks on webapps, etc are pretty nice from a technical perspective and I think a lot of tech people can appreciate them in that aspect.

But that's pretty much where it ends. They don't make easy money like ransomware does. Ransomware produces customers, doesn't require hard business side work to acquire them, doesn't have competition, etc. From a business perspective, ransomware is just better.

EDIT: Your Tor automation solution seems pretty cool - do you use a VPN to authenticate things or are you relying on the privacy of your .onion names?

I can't find conclusive numbers on murders specifically. http://time.com/3999348/transgender-murders-2015/ says:

> Though a federal hate crimes law requires the collection of some statistics related to violence against transgender people, experts are dubious about the numbers they're getting. “A lot of jurisdictions report zeroes, even in places where we know there are hate crimes," Keisling says. Most state laws don't require the collection of such statistics, according to Minter.

Given the high incidence of sexual violence against transgender persons (https://www.ovc.gov/pubs/forge/sexual_numbers.html) it certainly seems likely the murder rate is similarly high. There's a "one-in-twelve" stat that appears to have gone around, but it's not true: http://www.politifact.com/texas/statements/2015/may/13/garne...
A few thoughts on the spec itself:

* In all cases (feed and items), the author field should be an array to allow for feeds with more than one author (for instance, a podcast might want to use this field for each of its hosts, or possibly even guests).

* external_url should probably be an array, too, in case you want to refer to multiple external resources about a specific topic, or in the case of a linkblog or podcast that discusses multiple topics, it could link to each subtopic.

* It might be nice if an item's ID could be enforced to a specific format, even if perhaps only within a single feed. Otherwise it's hard to know how to interpret posts with IDs like "potato", 1, null, "http://cheez.burger/arghlebarghle"
>Largely because of post-World War II intensive chicken farming and accompanying price reductions, chicken, once internationally synonymous with luxury, became a staple food in the U.S.

These intensive farming methods basically involve treating chickens as protein factories with no regard for their welfare. Packing as many of them as possible into a small space and breeding them to put on weight so quickly that their legs often can't support their bodies.

I wish more people would face up to the reality that cheap meat is only possible by mistreating animals in quite horrific ways. If we treated chickens properly, their meat would still be considered an expensive delicacy.

Then again, if you treat animals well it's likely worse for the environment (more land required for agriculture etc) so there's really no escaping the fact that humanity needs to eat less meat.
It appears to be not too difficult. Many people are interested in the quantity of data to work with.

I see. I've obviously got a lot more to learn. Thanks :)

One more question, though: how much space should be safe to leave for NULL? Is 128MB enough? Why not only as much as required?

I suppose it doesn't really matter anyway since the entry point location is virtual at this point anyway.

That is an unfortunate implementation. The concept is still interesting, though.
If you're leaning on migrations often, with SQL, then I think you should not be using SQL, obviously (or you're just doing something wrong) Or, one should use a SQL database that allows more abstract data types (like JSON blobs in Postgres)

Most open source applications are signed, just not by Apple's Appstore. Instead, most OSS downloads provide a GPG signature. You should not execute downloaded code before checking signatures - either by the Appstore or package manager, or manually.
I'll try to take a stab at this.

1.Sex is not ping pong. It is much more personal and intimate. There is a reason sex in public is an offense and playing ping pong in public is not. It is not yet another way to blow off some steam. It can come with baggage. It does not belong in a professional environment like an office. Go have sex at home, at a hotel, at a friend's place or in a sex dungeon (if that's your scene).

2.Talk about sex at work with someone who doesn't mind it or infront of someone who doesn't mind it. Personally I am not interested in hearing about your bondage fetishes or your "conquests". Be respectful of other's wishes. If you talk about your sexual life or someone else's in front of people who do mind that creates an uncomfortable working environment.

3. If you say sex is allowed in the office who's to say what kind of sex allowed vs. not allowed? There are infinite fetishes from the mundane to the unbelievable. If you are saying, but well sex in office isn't going to happen in an open setting but in a closed room so what does it matter what fetish is being enacted, well then my friend don't be cheap, just rent a hotel room for those activities instead of asking your employer to provide you with a sex room to indulge your sexual needs. Next you'll ask them to provide you with "companions", after all your employer did provide that ping pong table right?

4. Now you may say well the "puritanical" attitudes of your coworkers creates an uncomfortable work environment for you so how about they conform to your social beliefs? Well you see the majority dictates the social norms. It is a fact of life whether you think it is fair or not. Till a majority's attitude towards openly LGBTQ work colleagues hadn't shifted towards acceptability, having them as colleagues was uncomfortable for people. Then the majority attitude changed and it became acceptable.

Now the LGBTQ community worked hard to change that mindset and my friend in our democracy you too have that option to change people's minds.

But till you have changed a majority's mind you are stuck with our rules. Deal with it.
Well, it is exactly what I meant this "artificial intelligence" is line that changes. First we consider something some problem too hard for machines. Then, once we solve it - it's "well, but it is just a singular case".

In any case, what do you mean by "the right question"?
Just the former. Cloud is about having paying customers and keeping them happy. In general (IANAL, IANA..anything), cloud customer data is sacrosanct, and Google builds very strong walls keeping that stuff isolated.

As far as I've heard, the hopes for Cloud TPUs in general are that people will think it's an amazing service worth paying for.

The hopes for TFRC are more complicated, as you might imagine when a company is giving away free stuff, but one of them, I'd put in the "long-term benefit altruism" category: It's quite hard to do some kinds of machine learning research in academia, because it can be fantastically expensive. We just blew $5k of google cloud credits in a week, and managed only 4 complete training runs of Inception / Imagenet. This was for one conference paper submission. Having a situation where academia can't do research that is relevant to Google (or Facebook, or Microsoft) is really bad from a long-term perspective, and one thing TFRC might do is help make sure that advances in deep learning continue at a rapid pace.

From watching the rate at which my deep learning colleagues get swallowed up by industry, I think it's a very valid concern, and I'm very supportive of all of the industry efforts we're seeing to try to address this. It's good for the entire research ecosystem.

(There are undoubtedly many other reasons, such as those noted below by minimaxir, but this is the one I personally feel the pain of.) Disclaimer: I get paid by Google part-time to do work related to this, but this is not any kind of official statement. The pain-of-ML-in-academia bit is purely from my hat as a CS professor.
I'm not disagreeing. However, I would not be surprised if the price ratios at retail differ from those at bulk wholesale and at moments in the spot market. My suspicion is based on some experience with the spot market for fill dirt and the evidence here that kitty litter made from wheat byproducts was supplied by the low cost bidder and the premise that the low cost bidder was a rational economic actor.
How does the ORM prevent horizontal scaling?
If I work for Fox (or whomever), I share a file called Logan.2017.1080p.WEB-DL.H264.AC3.mkv but it's actually random bytes. In fact, I have a bunch of virtual hosts all around the globe sharing the same random bytes under that filename. How do you tell the difference between what I'm sharing and the file you probably want that isn't garbage?

The easiest way to date as been to have a website that indexes torrent files. As that grows increasingly unfeasible, how does a fully decentralized system fulfill the same function?
