Well, like I said, there was the High Kingship, but opinion seems to be divided on whether it represented a genuine political union, a confederation, a series of occasional and temporary alliances, a courtesy title for a "first among equals", a claim of supremacy not necessarily accepted by other Irish kings, or all of the above at different times. And at least some of its incumbents, especially the earlier ones, were entirely fictional.
I feel like the author of this article hasn't worked in silicon valley, because it doesn't touch at all on what I feel is the cultural significance of casual attire: Wearing what you want says that your employer values you for your brain, not your willingness to conform.

Funny, I was going to say the same thing for the exact opposite reason.

The valley has quite a lot of non-conformist conformity. With slacks and a collared shirt, it's about "professionalism". With the bland demure dress that shows personality, without suggesting the person has a personality capable of producing thoughts that go against the group-think, it's about "culture fit."
For certain films it can be vital that subtitles can be styled in multiple ways.

For example: I recently watched the movie "The Handmaiden" which includes both spoken Korean and Japanese. The language the characters speak in any given situation is relevant to the story. If all the subtitles were the same I would not have noticed this destinction.

What are the best-rated coding classes in Los Angeles?
Couple years ago, a couple friends and I threw together something like that.

GPG encrypted messages with a huge list of fallbacks where messages got stored. (Pastes, private subreddit, Facebook via RSS).

The code was truly awful, but the premise was we just needed each others public keys, and all was good. (Killed the project when one of us lost their private key, and we realized hardcoding the public keys had been a terrible idea).

I don't think I have the code anymore, but shouldn't be much more than a weekend project if you stick with text only.
> The "commit time" (time until a transaction is considered irreversible) is 60 days for Visa, but 10-60 minutes for Bitcoin. The "notification time" (time until a transaction is announced to recipient) is < 1 second for both systems. The "processed time" (time until a received transaction is spendable) is next-business-day for Visa, and 10 minutes for Bitcoin.

You can draw all sorts of gerrymandered lines to make different things sound equivalent. The question that matters for a merchant is how long do they have to wait to confirm a transaction in order to not end up losing massive amounts of money to fraud, and that number is <1 second for visa and 10-60 minutes for Bitcoin.

> Bitcoin miners consume less energy than the annual electricity consumption of decorative Christmas lights in the US, which process 0 transactions and do nothing other than looking shiny: http://blog.zorinaq.com/bitcoin-electricity-consumption/

Only because Christmas lights are used by more people, more often. How much energy does bitcoin consume per transaction, hmm?

> (1) senders/recipients who needs to send/receive money quickly (10-60 minutes) to/from anybody around the world

Obviously no-one wants to wait any longer than they have to, but what's the realistic use case where the participants are far enough apart that this matters and 10-60 minutes is so much better than a couple of days? And again this is a case where bitcoin could very easily be undercut in the near future by trustful systems that have fundamentally much lower costs - within-country those systems are already single-digit minutes (2 hours is advertised but that's an upper limit, bitcoin has a very high upper limit on how long a transaction might take).

> (2) recipients who want to eradicate fraudulent and eventually reversed payments

Irreversible payment is too easy to exploit in the other direction, by selling faulty goods. Non-criminal consumers like the option of chargebacks, and non-criminal merchants accept that.
I don't know why we have to presume or assume anything about anyone.

Zuckerberg is just as valid as Obama in why THEY choose to dress the way they do.

I'm a honey badger when it comes to clothes. I just wear free crap i get from conferences and buy jeans/shorts as needed. I don't spend any brain power on doing anything other than making sure i'm comfortable and fit the season(s). I spend money on quality - i don't want my clothing failing when mountaineering but "Fashion" is the last thing on my mind and i tend to get 10-15 years out of my REI / North face outdoor clothing

A focus on fashion or appearance in the scope of work is a distraction. Where whatever you want to wear but don't assume others have any interest or admiration of such.
I was in Israel last summer hiking with my kids at a spring (Ein Gedi) near the Dead Sea. We'd hiked up a trail and had gained maybe 500 ft of elevation. We were looking out across the Dead Sea toward Jordan when some Israeli military jets flew across above the Dead Sea and they were definitely at or below us. It was an interesting site being above the jets, and only later did I realize we were all still below sea level.
> Maybe we've just been doing it wrong the entire time and we should just log into our single-user desktop computers as root and then spawn our shells and other applications as various unpriviledged users as necessary (this could easily be scripted in launcher scripts). I wonder if anybody has attempted to do that, but again I don't expect that Xorg would work very well in this configuration.

Replace '...as various unprivileged users' with '...as completely isolated virtual machines' and you've got the gist of what QubesOS does. I haven't tried it personally, but it sounds really interesting.
> You’re not limited to just tags: you can use commit hashes.

Since tags, branches and `HEAD` are simply pointers to commits, it's good to know that you can interchange them and commits pretty much anywhere where you can use them (other than creating/deleting tags or branches, of course).

The problem is not specifically Trump or even throwing out the filibuster in the senate. It's the kind of highly targeted gerrymandering and ad hock messaging based around new technology. Combined with doubts that votes are even being counted that's corrosive to the very idea of democracy.

Of course Obama was going to cause a backlash, just like Bush did and Trump will. But, we have gotten to the point where 'power' and 'the will of the people' have got little to do with each other. And that's not a stable path long term.

EX: We don't talk about it, but several million Americans don't get representation in the house or senate. Sure, that's the way the system is built, but frankly that's not a good enough reason on it's own.

I used to work at Google in the "Don't be evil" era. We had many internal discussions about how it was hard to define "evil". That's part of the purpose of the deliberately ambiguous statement, to state a general principle without getting bogged down in minutiae. The purpose of the guidance is to force people to have ethical discussions, not to answer the question.

Uber is going to collapse under the weight of all its illegal and unethical behavior. All that money is going to evaporate.
I'm reminded of a glider GPS failure mode I've heard a few times.

There's a phenomenon called mountain wave where strong winds at altitude get angled upward. When it's working right, a glider can point into the wind and ride it up like an elevator.

Some GPS units save you from running down the battery if you forget to turn them off by noticing you haven't moved in a while and shutting off automatically.

So you get into wave, point into the wind, ride the elevator up while motionless over the ground... and then, boop, your GPS shuts off because it thinks you're parked.

I read up a little on Guix, but I can't reconcile what I read with what you wrote.

Guix clearly does track and even bundle dependencies.

The part I'm missing is how different packages can rely on different dependencies without stepping on each others' toes. And if a certain package relies on a dependency with known vulnerabilities, do I have to wait for the package to change its dependency, or can I upgrade the dependency as soon as it issues a fix?

Yes, sorry, my comment is sloppily phrased. I should have been specific. And then I may have realized I was wrong, because it wasn't about password hashes.

(It seems that tweet and the link were fresh in my memory: I automatically interpreted the question as being about password hashes, although the code actually does not imply that at all. And the linked thread is clear about the difference between password hashes and other hashes, but it seems the 'simple' message was more available to me than the deeper truth)

One of President Obama's last acts was to expand and entrench mass surveillance by the Federal government.

>New rules issued by the Obama administration under Executive Order 12333 will let the NSA—which collects information under that authority with little oversight, transparency, or concern for privacy—share the raw streams of communications it intercepts directly with agencies including the FBI, the DEA, and the Department of Homeland Security, according to a report today by the New York Times.

This in direct conflict with his earlier promise to do the opposite.

>On January 17, 2014, President Obama gave a public address on mass surveillance. Obama promised increased restrictions on data collection of American citizens, which would include the requirement of court approval for searches of telephone records. In addition, Obama called for increased oversight and admitted the dangers NSA surveillance posed to civil liberties.

Why does strict falsifiability not work in social sciences? You just need to state your theories better if you can otherwise find counterexamples easily. Physicists don't say "smash these two particles together and you'll see a Higgs Boson", they have sufficiently nuanced theories that sifting through petabytes of data to find what you claim exists is justified.
>Yeah, well. They can because of the "much worse conditions". If you push people hard enough so they aren't fulfilling the lowest level of Maslow's pyramid, you'll get your bloody revolution.

I'll have to disagree with that. People often stay subservient when in dire conditions, but also have been known start a revolution for mild (or stronger) discomforts. Mankind is not driven by "bread" that predictably.
It's not that nobody is interested anymore. It is that the onus is on regular citizens to protect themselves. Once you have an understanding of the magnitude of the privacy problem and see what you would have to do to protect yourself you tend to tip your hat to the empowered opposition and industry partners and realize,in the venerable argot of our time: you lost the game.
It could also have been due to a confusion between metric and American units. The lowest airport on Earth as featured in the article is around 400 meters below sea level, but the aircraft's software was designed to operate up to 400 feet below sea level. It's a rather odd limitation that can't be explained by "duh, they didn't account for negative numbers" alone.
Meh. You can dream up all sorts of hypothetical scenarios with minimal support, and raise the alarm around them (see: "the LHC will create a blackhole that swallows the world"). But right now, there seems to be very little reason to think that "artificial superintelligence" would be dangerous if it existed, and (probably more importantly) even less reason to think that ASI is anywhere remotely close to existing. Seriously, for all the cool things modern "AI" systems can do, they're still pretty stupid. Look up "commonsense reasoning" and look at some of the problems that those folks are working on, which computers still can't solve.

"Now", you might argue, "didn't AlphaGo just beat the world's best human at Go, and didn't DeepBlue beat Kasparov ages ago? Isn't that evidence that computers are getting pretty intelligent?" To which I'd say no... it's evidence that computers have gotten good at playing chess and Go. But note that the same program that won at chess did not win at Go, and the program that won at Go isn't doing natural language understanding, etc. IOW, we have solved very isolated and highly specified problems, but we really haven't come up with much in the way of a general intelligence in a sense that even remotely approaches a human.

And even if I'm completely wrong and ASI is imminent and is potentially dangerous, there's still no particular reason to think that OpenAI is making things worse, as opposed to better. There certainly is a strong argument that anything that democratizes access to advanced AI techniques helps mitigate the (potential) danger of one bad actor inventing an ASI and having control of the only one, and using it towards malicious ends.
And in virtually all those cases, there's a link to the target's actions against something the terrorists hold dear.

Terrorist activity in India? Look to Kashmir.

In Russia? The Russians fought their own war on terrorism before we went into Afghanistan. In some ways going into Afghanistan diverted fighters streaming into Chechnya to fight the Russian army to Afghanistan. We gave them a target they hated more than they hated the Russians. From reports, many of the best fighters on the side of ISIS are Chechens.

The Russians, by the way, are still fighting terrorists.

And whether these wars are "internal affairs" or not is immaterial.

That doesn't make sense since most GPS units also include an altimeter. Plus, you can get an inaccurate altitude estimate from GPS itself.

I suppose it's possible that the unit doesn't include an altimeter or doesn't account for altitude, but that seems odd.

Plug for a somewhat different take on "attribute-driven" development:
https://github.com/QuickenLoans/Behaviors.js

No centralized framework. Everything is decomposed into "behaviors" that have no direct dependencies. Attributes are used for configuration and storing the running "state" of all libraries. Liberal use of CSS selectors as a kind of query language to remove the need for tree-traversal code.

The interesting thing about this approach is that it enables libraries/behaviors to interact and effectively "compose" at run-time without any direct code dependencies. It has some similarities to the idea of agent-oriented programming, which I think is a powerful idea worth a deeper look.

Of course, this is more of a proof-of-concept than a complete set of libraries needed for a complex website. However, I find this "behavioral" approach very enjoyable to use, because it makes development very immediate and incremental. Add an attribute, observe that it works, add another attribute, observe that it works, etc.

You also get progressive enhancement "by default".

>You can't really blame people for that - this is a systemic issue, and it was predicted it will happen. People, in aggregate, don't respond to abstract problems like that by any form of prolonged care.

They should, and I can blame them for that. That's the duty of the citizen. Not recognizing the issue at all is not an excuse.
What about if they did take a quick look around, and determined that trying to fix it themselves or even find the guilty line would take too long? If I spend hours, days, or even weeks like that every time I found a bug in someone else's code, I'd be doing my own users a severe disservice. I owe it to them to spend my time more productively than that. So if the author's answer is "patch or GTFO" then I've found someone I'd never hire and probably wouldn't even want to interact with.

Real open source is about the community as much as the code. It's not about authors and users each trying to set themselves above the other. True collaboration involves mapping tasks to expertise in the way that results in the greatest overall good. If an expert in an area unilaterally shuts off that conversation, then they're not really helping open source. They're just throwing stuff over the wall and pretending it's open.
Yes template would be more descriptive.
The airport of Amsterdam (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amsterdam_Airport_Schiphol) is often used in test data because of its negative elevation. It is so well known that I can hardly believe that a certified aircraft has this kind of bugs.

You simply need to declare studies before you preform them and you avoid the kind of bias you are talking about. The core issue is not the method, but poor incentives leading to people gaming the system instead of doing science. No system is going to survive most people trying to break it.

On the whole the 'soft' sciences are not actually science right now. They are philosophy playing dress up. Sure, you get a few honest people trying to do real research, but mostly not.

PS: I remember seeing the same problem on the small scale in the physical sciences. One professor tried to weigh air by weighing a bag with and without air. Which did not work for obvious reasons. But, blow on it adding enough saliva and eventually you can finagle the number you want. I was kind of hoping he was going to eventually say, see don't do this and then give details, but nope he felt like he got the results he wanted.

Why is -400 MSL the threshold? 0 would be the naive bug. I wonder if it's related to the geoid correction for altitude, which can be as much as -106 meters. That's close to -400 MSL. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geoid

Whoever wrote the "am I parked?" code probably didn't think to check altitude, since when could an airplane possibly be moving vertically but not horizontally?
