One trouble I had while configuring for my gmail account was the lacking support for Google's XOAUTH extension for SMTP and IMAP authentication. After a little research, I found that you can create app passwords[0] in Google after you've activated 2FA. This allowed me to use standard PLAIN authentication with passwords that don't allow for management of the whole google account.

High tobacco taxes killed Eric Garner.

Raising prices in poor countries with unaccountable Governments smells a lot like serfdom. We should give to the world's poorest before we pick their pockets.

Agreed. I would add that "living on mars" would be kind of a matter of speech. I mean, it would be more accurate to say you would live in a box that happens to be located on the surface of mars.

Mars is such an hostile environment that you'd have to live in a highly controlled, mostly closed artificial habitat. Basically, a human-grade terrarium. Saying that men in such terrariums live on mars would be just as much as a stretch as saying that fishes in aquariums live on the ground.

Honestly, if people enjoy living in a closed box, they can do it on Earth, they don't have to go to mars.

The original goal of the academic "encrypted database" proposals like CryptDB was security against this kind of adversary. The idea was that if all the data is encrypted even when you're querying it, you get some security against a compromised OS. Unfortunately, in this paper we showed even this "always encrypted" approach has many subtle flaws that leave the data vulnerable to inference attacks.
From the article: 100% MCTs may increase your metabolic rate, but traditional coconut oil only contains about 15% MCTs and isn't good for your health in any quantity.
That's not entirely true. If the cell was large people would attempt to get into them on purpose to get a private room.

The cell has to be small enough that no one would prefer it over general.

Additionally if the cell was larger then the number of neighbors each prisoner could interact with is reduced. But the goal is to give them the opportunity to interact with as many people as possible.
Musk is worried about extinction-level events according to paragraph one. Supervolcanoes, whatever killed the dinosaurs.. That perspective does seem reasonable in the grandest scheme of things. Earth has managed to kill a whole bunch of it's inhabitants in the past.

That said, we may well have 70 million years to plan for that one.
From what I understand, the MCT oil in Brain Octane oil is essentially just the medium-chain triglycerides from coconut oil. All of the other saturated fats and so on are removed in the process, Asprey and many others give this as the reason to use MCT oil over coconut oil. It's really just a very pure form of the kind of fat the body likes, and can most easily use.
I added my email to my profile. Would be happy to answer any questions you have.
Iran 1953 Covert History Quietly Released
It's easy. It's called "appreciating the natural order of things". Humans and their ancestors have hunted animals for millions of years.

Beyond that, which animal do you think has a higher quality of life: an elk, roaming free in the woods, or a cow, living life as a rancher sees fit and then slaughtered when the meat is considered optimum?

You should also reflect that the death of a wild animal is rarely serene or enjoyable. Death from old age is usually death from starvation. Death before old age might either be an agonizing one after an injury, or being eaten alive by predators. You should watch a video of wolves eating an elk sometime...

The death a hunter offers is generally one of the more painless ways an animal can go. Even "trophy hunters", who take a lot of grief, are very often harvesting animals who aren't far from dying of old age as described above.

Personally, though, I prefer hunting animals that provide lots of delicious, healthy meat. :-)
It was a great experience, and really helped focus on getting a MVP out in the world.

It's "kill -QUIT", not "kill -SIGQUIT". (But "kill -3" works too.)
Most people find it hard to read books with long s, for example, or even know what long s is or where it occurs. "Why are all the s's replaced with f's?" people will ask. It's fine if it's "ash-tray" instead of "ashtray", but the further you go back and the more of these archaicisms you encounter, the more of a barrier they become to ordinary readers (instead of English majors). I don't necessarily like this kind of textual modernization, but in general it's necessary to keep the text accessible to moderns.

What a problem?

In a second case, after checking value, type of variable does not changed.

// Vraible "string" still have a non-nullble type here
// What problem you found here?
// Non-nullble type cannot be null even only because analyzed code.
print(string.length); // Don't know it's non-null here.

// This is dead code, if you don't know
if (string == null) return;
It might be an indicator of other problems, but it's not clear that it's causative. Start reading _Good Calories, Bad Calories_ and go from there.

What does a non-disclosure agreement have to do with working for someone other than your current employer? It should go without saying that you shouldn't discuss confidential information in an interview.

In California, it is unlawful for an employer to take action against you for lawful conduct occurring away from the employer's premises during non-work hours. [0] This seems to apply to moonlighting activities.

Depends on the place. In Sedona, when Whole Foods bought the local alt grocer, people got upset at WF's corruption of the grocer's values.

When I airbnb'd in someone's Portland home once, The host worked for another local alr grocer chain, proudly telling me it is like WF but better.

Just a tangent: the downtown Seattle WF has a fantastic eatery ... and in the months before I moved, it turned into a major Amazon employer hangout, after the Amazon HQ moved there. Now I marvel at the irony it is effectively an externalized company cafeteria.

Also, Walmart is trying to get more into online business and Amazon is getting into brick and mortar stores to marginalize walmart and target even more. Interesting.

I disagree, while Electron apps have trade offs, I never experience the experience of clunkiness I find with Calibre.
There's not much of a correlation. I think only half of the cases of cardiovascular disease have elevated LDL cholesterol. It's always more complicated than simply having elevated cholesterol; it's overall diet, exercise, and plain old genetics that have the largest effect.
Well, for one, the employees are a huge part of why those shareholders get any returns in the first place.
Over the last 10 years I have worked with 4 digits worth of people. Managers, sales people, engineers, family members, locals, Western foreigners, Arab foreigners, Asian foreigners. I can't remember a single communication where direct insertion of images was a desired feature. If at all images were in emails because the email clients interpreted adding attachments in image format as part of the emails content (gmail client for instance).

I'd argue that images in emails means that you haven't reached 2017 yet, where there are loads of better options to share images.
> I wonder if I'm the only person who thinks living on Mars would be awful.

It'd be awful if you're a person who is concerned with physical comfort/health. The drive for those that wish to go is the big transcendent picture and goal. It's beyond those desires for self preservation and comfort.
> Amazon actually treats their employees very well.

Do you mean the software developers who work on Lake Union or the many lower skilled people who work in Amazon's fulfillment centers...like people who would work in a grocery store...

> I know that there are some stories about bad experiences in the fulfillment centers, but keep in mind that those positions are temporary seasonal work by unskilled labor. That's a completely different environment than full time employees work in.

People who work at Wholefoods aren't software developers making top bucks.
Better (any) in-memory encryption would help (especially against swap or hibernation attacks), but won't completely mitigate the risk due to the encryption key being stored in memory as well.
Occasionally, HN'ers post some really interesting Wikipedia articles that I didn't know existed, and are fascinating reads, so I personally like them. For example, that was how I learned about Pando[1], thought to be the heaviest known organism, and one of the oldest.

I am a physicist.

I only glossed the article, but from what I gathered, this didn't prove anything about QM, rather it was a technical achievement. One of the biggest problems with entangled pair distribution is actually separating the particles over some distance, because when the entangled particles interact with something ("observed") their state collapses and the entanglement may end.

This is what the achievement was, they managed to not destroy entanglement of a pair over a very long distance.
Can you link of that evidence? In form of scientific studies (quality ones)?
This is not a general "you can't prove your point, you don't have science". I'm actually interested. I have been looking for hard science in this area and have seen none that would back up your claims.
You're right. I only buy during sales, and mostly I buy because I hate shopping and the clothes fit me (I have long limbs). The quality of their pants is not great, they do get worn out quickly.

I like Walmart and I think they're in a very strong position to compete with Amazon. Hopefully acquisitions like this one indicate that they recognize the "disruptive" nature of ecommerce on their traditional business, which necessitates a separation so that the bigger business unit does not accidentally crush the smaller business unit.

"We identified the emergence of entire categories of new, uniquely human jobs... trainers, explainers, and sustainers."

OK, great, but...

a.) these jobs will only be "uniquely human" until AI becomes self-generating and sustaining. [1]

b.) as these jobs emerge, surely they don't expect all of the millions of displaced laborers, truck drivers for example, to find work in these roles.

AI is increasing overall efficiency (less human work => more productivity), while global population grows. This is a good thing, but I can't buy into the idea that these new jobs will be sustainable. IMO #1, we instead simply need to conciously decide to carve out jobs for humans to do, even though the work could be done (probably better) by a machine. After all, I mow my grass with a push mower (vice a gas mower) because it's clean and I enjoy it. IMO #2, a base living wage without work does not a happy life make.

Certainly. Our irrationality is why we're here. Launching a ship toward America was irrational. The scientists of the time could tell you with absolute certainty you'd die if your goal was to get to Asia by sailing west.

We won't be discovering any new land, nor will we be surprised by anything. But that energy -- the fact that people want to go there, and want to colonize it -- that's rare. That's why the Sahara isn't the frontier.

Love, in many ways, is completely irrational. There are countless advantages to spending your life alone. You'd conserve resources, you'd avoid heartbreak. If you want children, you can adopt. You could probably find someone to live with you, if you just want companionship.

But the irrationality makes the experience.

Just an aside, it's slightly opposite from what you said. Google doesn't want software engineering at a larger scale to enter into the world of domain specific folks at all. So they specialize in giving domain specific folks a very tight coupling to the computer without a care in the world for most anything other than a narrow band of parameters.

They very much have an org for generating software that treats domain specialists as pluggable domain optimizers. Architects and SRE all enable that.
The author is far more charitable in his characterization of the scammer than I would be. No one "accidentally" copies someone's website, and no one "accidentally" scams someone. And a person who does that is not a good person.
Pebble-tables are fine for that, but don't leave a persistant record. Mostly when I hear "writing system" I think "linguistic writing system", a writing system for language, rather than "mathematical writing system".

But IIRC a number of writing systems started off first as mathematical record systems before developing to encode linguistic information. Maybe a good example is cuneiform, which started off as tally marks in balls of soft clay stored in jars, for tax purposes, which developed symbols for encoding what kind of goods were being counted. Quipu may be similar, with more nascent development as a linguistic system.
OTOH thinking in matrices only may be limiting, as there are potential designs one might want to try (brain-inspired for example) that cant be expressed in matrix operations.
