That actually wasn't snarky but I see how it could be taken that way. I was surprised that there's a podcast on this, I was legitimately curious what podcast this was. I have very little material that deals with this, and it's surprising that there's a podcast on this.
SMS is the 2nd factor. Actually it's worse than just a 2nd factor because a compromised phone number can usually be used for password recovery
Don't make smart decisions. Sign onto Vanguard, set up autoinvest, and forget you ever did.
Concretely, us spent 150B/ 70B non-defense.

Google ~14B, Amazon ~14B MS ~10B Apple ~10B and FB ~6B for about 50B all together.

So, concretely, we should expect just the big five to produce roughly 1/3 as much as publicly funded science, assuming they're of equal quality. More like 2/3's if we exclude military research. Although you don't come out and say it, you're implying private is more efficient.

I dunno. I think the feds get a big discount by using grad student labor. Fundamentally, the perform different roles. Doctoral research is foundational stuff that corporations take and refine. Sure, i can quibble over each one of your examples. But that's not really the point.

I don't think any corporation was going to go looking for gravity waves, or Proxima B.

So many problems are a tradeoff between exploration and exploitation. Broadly, public funding tends to fill the role of exploration. Private funding tends to fill the role of exploitation. There's no crisp line. Corporations surely explore, and universities surely exploit. But again, broadly, i think the public exploration/private exploitation split is a good one, and i think it's how the 20th century worked pretty much worked.
Why edit your post instead of responding? That's such an odd way to do things and breaks the order of conversation.

>Security and privacy are actually distinctly different concepts with very different implications.

True, but you cannot have privacy without security. That is to say, if I pieces my personal information to 5 different groups, but all of them are vulnerable, your data, all of it, is vulnerable, and an untrusted Nth party can attain all of it. On the other hand, if you give all of your personal information to a single secure party, you know who has the data.

Obviously, its a bit more complex than this because often times larger groups are single sources of failures, but still.

For a nondigital metaphor, your list of kinks is less likely to get out if you put it in a safe deposit box than if you rip it into 4 pieces and tell your closest friends to put their piece under their mattress, even if no friend as the whole list and you trust each friend more than your bank, because an adversary can probably figure out that you gave it to your friends, and can break into their houses, but won't be able to crack the vault.
As a counter point, perhaps, if that were true we should expect to see much less VC money being directed at tech startups.
This is super-basic, but given pretty much the only words I recognize on that page are "android" and "mesa", what does this /mean/?
I am impressed they went to the extents of making Wolfenstein 3D levels.

I was hoping for a somewhat broader and more abstract discussion of the concepts used in Wayland (and not C structures).

The largest list is 20GB, but it's not the only one.

Popularity was based on how many they appeared in files that had all duplicates removed (in reference to themselves)

The smallest file had passwords that appeared 75+ times, and the largest file had passwords that appeared 2+ times.

The top 195 Thousand (which appeared 25+ times in analysis) clocks in at 803kb as a text file with nothing but the passwords themselves

I don't know, I think they mean the same thing, but "getting old" has the connotation that it's towards the end of your life. That is, a baby is constantly aging into a slightly older baby, but it's not getting old yet. A thirty year old ages into a thirty one year old, but unless you're a teenager you wouldn't generally say they're getting old yet. But someone who's retiring and moving to florida? They're getting old.

Of course you might also say "you're getting old!" to say a fourteen year old cousin that you haven't seen in a few years. It depends on context. But I don't think they literally contain the same information except for syllables.

So I think jlduggers pedantry is misguided in this case.
It can be reasonable to provide little or no treatment for a moderate infection, with advice to seek further care if it becomes worse.

Many viral infections can be unpleasant and run their course in a day or 2.
SMS/phone number are a security nightmare as 2nd factor. Using a key via an authenticator app as the 2nd factor is really good.
I think Apple jumped the shark quite a while ago. I would love to ditch my Macs, but the problem is that as much as Macs suck, everything else sucks more. If someone built something that Just Worked the way Macs did back in the Snow Leopard days I would replace all of my Macs immediately. And I think this is possible starting with Linux as a base. Linux has come a long, long way since 1993.

I just bought a couple of Raspberry Pis and I get the same exciting this-is-the-start-of-something-really-cool vibe from them as I did from my first Apple II back in 1980.
Thanks for the insight. That sounds about like what I figured while thinking about this.

And yeah, I think the "fulfilled by Amazon" filtering is the key to simplify things. It won't always be the best deal (and isn't in this case) but there is a real sense of "risk" with other options - something that I don't think can be solved by the third party store pages and seller feedback.
As I was looking around for the files to make this project, on SecLists, Weakpass, and Hashes.org, most of the files were in alphabetical order. This was especially true for the larger files.
Intelligence is somewhat measurable, with some nice big error bounds and a big asterisk for the particularly stark replication problem in psychology.

You can define genius as a mark on the IQ scale, but that certainly isn't the definition being used when people use the word in conversation. That conversational form of genius is the social construct.
The problem is that you can socially engineer the Telecom service desk. It's not that hard. I did it when I pretended to be my dad (at his request) to switch his phone plan.
You are adding own fiction to the story. His own interpretation was thay there is for him conflict between focusing at math and social. That makes people come across sdifferently then they intended - because they don't think about others at the moment. Duh.

As anger goes, u have seen angry American managers and academics and journalists and random friends whether in position of authority or not.

And I dont know why you imply she did not had social status to display anger (as only higher status can do that according to you). His story implies opposite - except again you are adding that aspect. OP did not cared about status not anything else social. He was overly excited about his research.

Nevertheless, if you think anger it self is bad thing, then it is very unhealthy way of living. Such people tend to end up passive aggressive. Anger does not excuse unethical acts nor rude acts, but none such act is mentioned here. Just her being angry.

A Comprehensive Introduction to ngrx/store
Someone has to build the confusion matrix for the geniuses "> 130 IQ" classifier.

I mean, if you have a definition for "a genius" that likely ends up excluding Bach, Escher, Darwin - then something's fishy about your definition.

In terms of communicating with the others, that's akin to having a definition for "great basketball player" to which Jordan doesn't fit.
Maybe you should talk to some actual nuclear engineers and not just read starry eyed proposals. The engineering tasks of building and maintainig said reactors plus digging up the waste and shipping it there is tremendous. Especially sodium cooled proposals get the most face palms from people who actually work in the field. "There's a reason psysicists don't design reactors but engineers do" is a quote I remember from the last time I met a nuclear engineer and discussed transmutation proposals.

Bottom line: Nothing is solved and it will take decades to get to a design that consumes new waste, let alone old waste that is currently rotting under ground and is ever harder to get to.

It means that the iMX6 platform now can run Android using an entirely open source software stack.

It also paves the way for other platforms, and in general is another win for open source.

I'm 55 and not nostalgic at all. Weirdly, I can hardly stand to listen to music of my teenage years because it puts me in a pretty sour mood -- and I was quite successful and happy as a teenager and in my early 20's.

Just yesterday I competed in the open division of a regional racquetball tournament and in a month in a half I'll compete in the open division in a regional powerlifting meet. The is not a humble-brag as much as to contrast this to the vast majority of the folks my age with whom I hang out.

Moreover, I'm heavily invested in growing intellectually which seems a contrast to many of my peers.

These folks have largely, though not all of them, adopted the "I'm too old" mentality to try to compete or grow in athletics or in intellectual pursuits.

The point is that this article, I believe, tends to comport with reality: many people begin to accept an easing of their personal standards and drive for growth because they're "too old" to not continue to push and compete.
This community is not meant to reflect an average of the Internet, it's specifically intended to be a place to expect original and intelligent discussion - including the humor.
@baobrain pretty much covered it. I would add the prior owners of Ars were accessible and fostered a sense of community. They would participate in the forums and were happy to help answer anybody's questions. And their style of reporting, they really took their topics to heart and didn't think twice about writing 20+ page monster articles if the topic demanded it. And truth. They reported truth, not opinion, which seems to be the site's mainstay at this point. The content-mill sort of ethic is also new.

There are still a couple of authors there who embody the spirit of the old guard, Sean Gallagher and Lee Hutchinson, but they seem increasingly to be marginalized. Their bylines appearing less frequently, and I'm perceiving limitations being imposed on their word counts.

Oh and this is my favorite part. I was dressed down (aka censored) by one of the site admins for calling one of their authors out in comments for basing a story on provable, industry-sourced junk science. In the old days instead of being threatened in secret and told to STFU, one of the admins would have linked my comment to a forum post, where the community would hash it out.
Personally I can't trust apple for a specific reason... On iOS they've made it quite difficult to turn location services off unless you jailbreak the device itself. You have to go into settings -> privace -> locations -> on - off -> are you sure you want to do it? -> yes ....

I mean when a company does that, it makes it pretty clear that they do want to monitor your location, making it annoying for you to turn it on and off.
It would be about as hard as it is to prevent DNS zone hijacking. That is, not very hard.
I'm not buying the obit writer's hypothesis that Al knew he was going to die and wanted to be around coworkers so as not to die alone.

But I _am_ extremely impressed that this was, apparently, written on the very day Al died. I wonder if 2017 will be known as the year when same-day obituaries became a thing. What a time to be alive! Or ... in Al's case ...
Is dropping this profound knowledge on us another way to play the game? Is the trick to happiness just carving out a facet in your life where you're secure in the hierarchy? (I'd borrow from Keith Johnstone and say High Status).
Yeah so the only reason you wouldn't use 'using' is when you can't :)

Modern c++ is awesome. I definitely appreciate being able use c++14 where I work (as well as 'pragma once'). I really look forward to being able to use c++17.
i don't know what a free monad is.

not sure if there are any advantages. this is an experiment i'm working on because i find it interesting. separating the data structure from the instructions that attempt to manipulate it has the advantage of making it easier to deal with the state [the state is not changed inside (with-snek ...)]. basically it's a kind of map-reduce. i'm sure you can achieve this in multiple other ways as well.

one of the reasons i'm interested in this particular pattern is described further here: http://inconvergent.net/a-method-for-mistakes/.

"butthurt" is such a rigorously defined term. thanks.

what value is there for me to use some "standardized measure of intelligence"? i'm more interested in being around people that are capable of helping solve problems we are mutually interested in.

if they can do that, why should i give a shit where they rank on some "standardized scale"? thus that score has no value to me, and it's perfectly legit for me to mock it's supposed "worth".

makes me think of Goodhart's law.
I think iOS 11 is an example of Apple realizing that they need to take a step back and focus on the "it just works" aspect of their mission. There are dozens of small fixes that I've wanted for years that they've finally fixed, all in one release. Haven't had the chance to look at High Sierra, but I'm hoping it's the same there.
Where does that definition come from? The root of the word is from birth and creation, not problem solving. The word is often applied to artists and musicians - is Keith Richards blessed with an IQ of 140? I think that it is generally agreed that Keith Richards is a genius, but his ability to make decisions is... questionable. Van Gogh is another, a life of terrible decision making, huge creative transformations, interventions that turned painting forever. Do you deny that these people should be called Geniuses because they wouldn't (or could) score highly on a test?
It's possible to be a very able, erudite person and not do well on an IQ test. Conversely, it's possible to score highly and be incompetent.

Intelligence is an ill-defined, nebulous quantity. IQ is a precisely defined quantity. Since intelligence is hard to measure and IQ is easy to measure, it's tempting to use one as a proxy for the other. But I, and the other posters above me, just don't find that very convincing.
Not sure I understand what you mean. What kind of drugs?
SpaceX is doing more or less the things that have already been done 50 years ago by truly the best minds of that generation, except they're cheaper and run as a private enterprise. They're standing way up there on the shoulders of those giants, and we should recognize that.
The most annoying thing is the mouse lag and higher resource utilization compared to i3.

Aside from that, it's great though. I used it for a month before going back to i3, you've really put a good amount of work into the project.
I'm a little confused because you argue all likes are the same and then make the distinction between fake and real likes.
When I was a college student in the US, a classmate of mine wanted my help automating an online poker site. Slightly more "victimless," but not necessarily any more ethical.

As you say, stereotypes.
Has anyone else been reduced to looking through hundreds of pages of results for common items like bottle openers or salt shakers? It's a nightmare, and there's often no good way to filter through them if you don't already know exactly what you're looking for and have an easy way to describe that. There's so much duplication even when the descriptions are different, and just so much junk.

Really awful user experience there, unless you have simply expressible needs or are satisfied with the first page or two of results.
I agree with you completely that those are totally insecure. However, 2nd factor as a dictionary vernacular term has become synonymous in the press with a telephone number and some sort of texting scheme. Before this there was little incentive to hijack phone numbers. No longer is that the case.

Having a phone number is not secure in any way, proves nothing, and offloading security onto a totally insecure system such as the possession of phone numbers was a massive cop out and completely irresponsible.

Maybe as you say there are 2nd factor schemes that don't use phone numbers but it hardly matters since the term 2nd factor has unfortunately come to mean phone numbers in the vernacular.
I'm a software guy too (https://github.com/WriteCodeEveryday), but I have spent an entire 3 years of my life building prototypes and software for small businesses, that just aren't technically savvy and don't have large IT departments.

Once I deployed / configured my fifth Postgres database with Rails, I decided enough was enough, I needed to move faster in my Operations setup since I'm the "ops guy". If you're in a company that has dedicated capable ops guys, you don't need a platform, but if you don't have those guys, you will need one desperately.

Flynn's decent for my use cases because those very things you say you need done -> "deploying new assets", "copy/clone job from the VCS", and "running a single script to deploy/activate everything" are wicked simple and supported right out of the box securely, so instead of handing over the SSH keys to a developer, I can give them the Flynn key and they don't get access to the underlying infrastructure, just a basic API for doing development tasks.

Additionally, the backup functionality allows me to backup a single app or a full cluster and upgrade our infrastructure as it's running.

If you've never looked into Docker, or Flynn, take this post, set aside a $60 budget for DigitalOcean and try it out, I can't guarantee it will be perfect for you, but it's perfect for me. All hail /u/_lmars and /u/titanous.

For VIM: I am using CAPS Lock now as ESC key, because there is no physical ESC Key with the touch bar anymore.

Generally: I configured my touch bar to match the old keyboard function keys layout & they never change, no matter if I switch the program. I just don't want to change my behaviour + can't deal with the fact that I can't quickly change volume/brightness + hit play/pause/forward/backwards keys.
Not OP but I'm using sway when I'm on Linux, too. The only annoying thing is, that the mouse cursor is laggy when the system is under load. Apart from that I think it is pretty good! A systray would be nice of course but that is not a deal breaker. Thanks for the amazing work!
I don't think these two things are mutually exclusive.

As far as I'm aware there is work underway to take logical constructions and integrate them with probablistic machine learning to do things like force zero probabilities in impossible input cases. That is encoding domain knowledge into the model directly in the form of symbolic reasoning.

I mean even Bayesian nets require some encoding of causality​ right? Maybe I'm reading to much of "blah symbolic reasoning is worthless" in your comment?
The fact that his options were a small walk-in clinic and the ER (which he apparently did not go to) is a sad indictment of the state of health care in the USA.

If the National Review wasn't ideologically opposed to the very idea of nationalized healthcare this would have been a good cause to reflect on the systemic issues that caused him to have limited options for treatment l, and that may have hastened his death
Well, there's way more to it... even our body posture affects our biochemistry and well being... there's this great video by Amy Cuddy:

https://www.ted.com/talks/amy_cuddy_your_body_language_shape...

Today, because of electronics we're forced into low power body postures that increase cortisol and lower testosterone levels, evidence suggests.

Then there's nutrition, sleep etc.

Couple days ago there's was a study posted here showing that people who exercise intensely are about 9 years biologically younger. We don't exactly know how exercise makes you younger but we do know it boosts your testosterone.

A revealing peek behind the curtain. Thanks.
I'm 33, young-ish but I still have some nostalgia for the early days of the internet. I miss the lightness and innocence, when viruses had silly graphics and at worst screwed up one computer. When the biggest internet companies were still frivolous and playful and inconsequential.

Today tech has gotten heavy. Hackers work for organized crime and espionage, ruin lives, and cost the world countless billions. Tor and Bitcoin would have felt badass back in the day. Now they are used to dodge totalitarian regimes and to run black markets that are spreading untraceable opiates throughout middle America. And the iconic internet companies now shape the world, for better or worse.

Tech has arrived and I wouldn't roll back the clock, but I am sad that there's so little lightness left.
To be fair, you really don't own a domain. You still rely on the TLD honoring your purchase and not hand it over to someone else in the same way you rely on the phone company to treat your number as yours.
