Thank you for your work.
F* is significantly more hardcore than Rust. Dependent types, refinement types, and effects are powerful features it has that Rust doesn't. I do a bit of Rust myself, but the world would probably be better if Rust was only a stepping stone toward languages like F*, Idris, ATS and friends. :)

bit.ly for a while let you use j.mp which was even shorter than x.com. For some reason (simplifying their brand maybe?) they eventually got rid of that and now going to j.mp just gives you bit.ly URLs.

No one in the world has a solution which works for this case. I think the best thing for Google to do here is to document it like dropbox and get out of the blame game.
Oooo time for my x.com story!!

I worked at PayPal 2003-2007. At some point my team had a meeting with the CEO of some vendor, and at the end, the guy pulled me aside and asked, "Do you know what happened to x.com? I used to work at PayPal, and when PayPal was acquired by eBay, part of the contract said that we could keep our x.com email addresses forever and that they would guarantee delivery would keep working as long as eBay still owned the domain. But it stopped working a little while ago".

So it turned out that eBay was contractually obligated to keep running x.com and the email addresses, but no one in ops knew that, thought it was unused, and shut it off.

I'm not sure if they ever got it working again, but I would guess that Elon didn't pay much for it, since eBay wasn't using it and technically was obligated to keep running it for Elon.

He may have just said, "Hey, I'll run it myself if you don't want it anymore."
The preconditions of revolution exist in the UK, and most western countries. The number of active pre-conditions is quite stunning, from elite isolation to concentrated wealth to inadequate socialisation and education, to concentrated land holdings to loss of authority to repression of new technologies especially in relation to energy, to the atrophy of the public sector and spread of corruption, to media dishonesty, to mass unemployment of young men and on and on and on. [...] Preconditions are not the same as precipitants. We are waiting for our Tunisian fruit seller. The public will endure great repression, especially when most media outlets and schools are actively aiding the repressive meme of 'you are helpless, this is the order of things.' When we have a scandal so powerful that it cannot be ignored by the average Briton or American, we will have a revolution that overturns the corrupt political systems in both countries, and perhaps puts many banks out of business.

I think the problem with PKP is that there's such a big risk of temporarily unfixable breakage if things aren't done right.
I'll add in why I dropped out of college (current software engineer making six figures).

My dad made just enough money to get us past the point where Pell grants were denied because of my Dad's income. Unfortunately, my family still couldn't afford it and I was exceptionally weary of taking out 150k in student loans. The most they could afford to offer me was $200/month in rent. After a semester, I just dropped out and got a job at a local ISP as a software engineer.

Would I have went to school? Absolutely, but I couldn't afford it. As a person with Aspergers, it would have also been exceptionally hard for me to work /and/ attend school full-time. I tried that and it didn't work out.

I still have dreams of getting a doctorate. I love school and I love learning. I love being in class and attending lectures. Maybe when I can afford it and do just that, I'll do it.

As a person who graduated three years ago, the education system (even to an upper-lower/lower-middle class kid) is absolutely disheartening and dream crushing. Intellectuals don't speak of social darwinism, but their organizations, fiscally and structurally, still do. I will always feel inadequate for never having achieved a degree that all my friends will soon or now have.

I learned to only rely on myself, though. It's turned me into a very mature and responsible 21 year old. It still feels like I have no idea what I'm doing, but I'm working on it.
ssh sessions reveal enough that an interactive session, a file transfer (scp), and sshuttle routing someone web browsing look quite different from one another. Sure, you can multiplex and throw in extra traffic, but it's not trivial.
Right and I'm just pointing out that the part on refactoring is way more nuanced than people were giving it credit, very often in a manner that suggested they were commenting on something they hadn't even read!

It will always be possible to accuse an article or even a book of being light on details. It is after all some pointers and not a scheme to make a non-technical manager technical. Learning anything takes more than reading at surface level, particularly of a clearly introductory article. The principle of charity goes a long way to smoothing out the inner pedant.
Here's the deal:

People looking for investments in their businesses are not panhandlers. They are not begging. They do not deserve to have any abuse tossed their way. They are people working in a business environment trying to create a mutually-beneficial arrangement. They are professionals, as are their investors.

> The Times describes some founders who put up with unwanted sexual advances because they were desperate to raise money for their startups. There’s an old-fashioned word for what these ladies are doing that I shan’t repeat here.

This is wildly offensive and just stupid beyond all belief. A woman who has a start-up she's trying to raise money for is a WHORE if she puts up with unwanted sexual advances from investors? Or is Elaine Ou saying that a woman who has a start-up is a WHORE because women who go "begging" for money deserve to be treated like sex objects?

Am I misreading that? I must be. Please help.
I mean that it's seven years out of date. That part.

It would also be nice if there was an enterprise alternative to Exchange that isn't Google Apps, but hey, dreams.
The problem is many people keep objecting in general but without ever providing ANY evidence or at least asserting clearly "this person X did Y". Taking generalized accusations at simple word of mouth is lynching, its not a scalable solution for society. There will always be people who lie or bend the truth when its to their advantage, unfortunately thats the world we live in - thats why we require evidence and a judicial process in crimes.

I know it must be very difficult, but basically powerful people get away with all kinds of things including but not limited to sexual harassment because of the same fears women have against reporting them - burning bridges, fear of repercussions, they might have strong reputations and powerful friends etc etc. For most of us, the only choice is to leave that environment because of that fear. Harassment, unfortunately it can be a bigger offense, but women face the same choices as anyone else - leave or risk a fight with a powerful person... It sucks but it sucks the same way for everyone.

She ultimately makes a good point - "The only thing more timeless than the abuse of power is the tolerance of abuse by those who most need the money.". Many people want the funding bad enough to keep interacting with unpleasant people and tolerate the abuse and hence ensure it continues.... they do have at least the choice to walk away, same as men, or better yet bring it to public awareness. Yet many choose to take the money and then complain - at that point they have no right to complain, because they have actively perpetuated the cycle of abuse in exchange for money and helped the abuser grow a little more powerful.

You can't take the bad guys money, knowing full well what it cost you AND complain about it.
Ah, I was just wondering if you had experience there.

boot-reload[0] replicates everything figwheel does in terms of hot reloading the cljs. I started using boot because I wanted better tooling for cljs, which I think it provides. I wanted to ask if you had any experience with it because I know you have a lot of experience with cljs and was wondering if you had any insight into potential hidden costs.

I agree that hot reloading is a huge upgrade over the old workflow, it saves so much time.

The handshake is only one of the many giveaways of a VPN connection. A single HTTPS connection has a certain normal pattern of traffic that is very different from a VPN connection. VPN connections often persist, with bursts of activity as pages are loaded. Even if you repeatedly put up and tear down the VPN connection, you're exchanging large amounts of traffic with a single IP address, which is not typical of normal web browsing behavior. If you can see all of the traffic going in and out of China, you can easily tell which IP addresses and/or ranges host VPN servers. There are many, many features which you can put into an ML model that will identify users that are using VPNs just based on IP headers. Will it block 100% with no false positives? No. However, they can simply set the penalty to be not being able to connect to outside-China IP addresses for half an hour if they detect VPN usage. After tripping this a certain number of times, you get a letter, and then eventually someone pays you a visit. If for some reason this doesn't work, they'll just require everyone to install their MITM root certificate to use the internet like lots of corporations do.

Will some people find ways around it? Yes. However, it will be risky, and if any given technique becomes widespread, they will find a way to block it.
I'm going to call bullshit on the PR sotext of it. Musk had THE most successful internet finance company originally with PayPal, then parlayed that into extremely risky, potentially world-changing bets with SpaceX, Tesla, SolarCity, and others.

Musk gets such great PR because the stuff he's done is actually an order of magnitude more impressing than others who have done "similar" things.

It's pretty analogous to people saying Steve Jobs had "amazing PR". It's easy to have amazing PR when you have amazing products, and so many of Apple's products (the Mac, iMac, iPod, iPhone, iPad) really were game changers in terms of functionality and usability.
Is there a way to combine the character-level OCR with knowledge of the English dictionary? Something like `pregrarrmung` should be able to map to 'programming' especially with n-gram context of pregrarrmung experience.
Non-sense. Just check online articles and blogs to see when they started to block stuff like linux ipsec vpn. You may also check the reports on how/when they "talk" to the shadowsocks vpn author to force him to stop working on the project.
for preprocessing you can just use pillow for thresholding,rgb<-> gray conversions etc. While opencv gives much more option its a heavy library to use for this kind of functionality.

No idea why people reacting here so far got fixated on the "cheating" versions - it's clear to me they were included mainly to set a maximal speed baseline/benchmark and are not the main point of the article.
The interesting this out of all this is that Microsoft is the one often doing research like this, from F*, Project Everest, to complete kernels, but I've yet to see Windows have any of the new techniques/tools arising from MSR.

I wonder if it is a problem of the research being fairly new, or a lack of software developers inside Microsoft willing to replace their existing code and learn new tools and languages.
Does anyone know what kind of device it was?
White male here who has been a visible minority in an office before. The decision is not so tough. Try to influence people where you think you will be successful. Try not to put yourself in harms way when you think you will not be successful.

In my experience, people are often jerks. They will harass you, abuse you, mistreat you, and bully you for a variety of different reasons. Being a visible minority is one of those reasons, but it is far from being the most common one. I've suffered much more from the usual office politics in companies where I'm not a visible minority, than from discrimination in companies where I am.

Standing up to a bully is fantastic if you win. It's not fantastic if you are pounded into the ground with no hope of success. Sometimes it's hard to be patient and wait until the best time to act, but it is important. Anyway, anyone who has ever experienced abuse that they could not escape from should be able to relate, even if the circumstances are different.

There's an mp3 of the radio chatter here:

https://forums.liveatc.net/atcaviation-audio-clips/7-july-ks...

> Audio from the air traffic controller communication archived by a user on LiveATC.net and reviewed by this newspaper organization showed how a the confused Air Canada pilot asks if he’s clear to land on 28R because he sees lights on the runway.

> “There’s no one on 28R but you,” the air controller responds.

> An unidentified voice, presumably another pilot, then chimes in: “Where’s this guy going. He’s on the taxiway.”

> The air controller quickly tells the Air Canada pilot to “go around.” telling the pilot “it looks like you were lined up for Charlie (Taxiway C) there.”

> A United Airlines pilot radios in: “United One, Air Canada flew directly over us.”

> “Yeah, I saw that guys,” the control tower responds.
I am just a passenger, but this looks very over-blown. A pilot aligned with the taxiway, that's bad. But no pilot would ever land on a runway (or taxiway) with 3 planes on it. Just search the Aviation Herald for "runway incursion". And indeed, he spotted them, communicated, went around.

Aviation safety margins are so wide that this does not qualify as a near-miss.
> Is it so easy to say that's totally different from prostitution?

Yes. It is totally different, and it's very easy to say so.

I'm shocked anyone would need to actually ask this question given the overall context of the situation.
SFO is said to be a somewhat abnormal/difficult approach [0]. This could cause stress and fractured attention in the pilot.

I wouldn't be surprised to learn that there was some other complicating factor. Planes don't usually crash (or nearly crash) without several safety factors being breached.

If you can calculate the difference, couldn't a VPN force their traffic to mimic that difference as well?
So write a program that emulates 'regular HTTPS' traffic patterns. On the technical side of things, I'm pretty sure the VPNs have the upper hand in this game of cat and mouse.

(Hopefully) Related question: What is the state of the art in OCR on photographs? Is there something like the inception model for OCR?
"Hoi polloi" was an ill-chosen term since of course wealthy people are included in those who do not know the secrets one learns on becoming president.

As for the evidence, one thing is that there have never really been any leaks about game-changing secrets. The closest thing to that, at least in recent memory, is the Snowden revelations. They fall more in the category of confirming one's worst fears than being shocking. (Also, they are a bit of an odd example in this context because they are about things the US government is itself doing, not things about the world that US intelligence has discovered. Admittedly, if there had been equally shocking secrets of the latter variety they would have been less likely to have been leaked by an American because while surely the public has a right to know about and have a chance to approve of or not secret programs of the government (and this right has been and continues to be violated), it is much less clear when a secret known to the US government (perhaps discovered by one of its intelligence programs) must be disclosed to the public. (If the government is negotiating with aliens, I guess the public has a right to know about it before it goes on too long, but if it has a superspy in Russia or China that is providing shockingly detailed intelligence, not so much.)

Presidents' behavior does change versus what they probably honestly expected it would be, but the major changes seem to me to be reactions to public, not secret, information. For instance, Bush's plan for the presidency was radically reshaped by 9/11. And his invasion of Iraq was sold partly on the basis of their being intelligence about WMD, but this is sort of an anti-example since there wasn't any compelling intelligence (and moreover, in my view, it was pretty clear at the time based on public information that whether or not Saddam had a few chemical weapons squirreled away, he didn't have a hugely threatening WMD program, certainly not in comparison to North Korea or even Iran). Also, presidents probably often misjudge what they can politically do (e.g., Clinton promised to end the ban on gays in the military but ended up being forced into don't ask don't tell, or Obama promised to close Guantanamo failed because of bipartisan opposition and perhaps a failure of nerve or unwillingness to "expend political capital").
Maybe people are getting sick and tired of this constant bashing of "privileged" men (especially white men) and this is welcomed opinion.

It's good that bad people are exposed, but when the opinion starts to shift more and more towards grouping all "privileged" people in same group (like you are doing in this very post) it is only creating a bigger problem by making gender and race the primary thing that defines a person instead of their character.
> and then it takes a bit of demonstrating that yes, the graphics runs with the best available resolution the hardware can offer, the wireless network is functional, suspend and resume does work, and so forth.

But then from the Gist the author linked wrt getting X working with HiDPI:

> I'm using X in full resolution of 2560x1440 with wsfb (backed by efifb(4)). I configured my X session for HiDPI (retina), so I had to calculate and set DisplaySize in xorg.conf to get the correct DPI. With my configuration below, most but not all fonts display correctly. A few widgets still have tiny fonts.

And later in that same Gist:

> I'm using Window Maker (since about 1997). It doesn't fully support HiDPI but it is possible to make it useable by tweaking the fonts. Some widgets are still tiny but window titles, menus etc. work fine.

So to fill in what comes after the ellipses for the typical respondent of news of a laptop running OpenBSD: "Really? But... wouldn't that require special trips to the internet to copy/paste configuration settings that still only partially solve the problem of a laptop running an OS that wasn't designed to run on a laptop?" And the answer seems to be: yes.

One more bullet point from that Gist:

> In /etc/sysctl.conf I have to disable suspend when the lid is closed: machdep.lidsuspend=0

But the blog author says suspend/resume does indeed work. Is the blog author manually suspending/resuming, or did he get it to trigger correctly when the lid is open/closed?
Yes, it pervasive to a point of perversion.

I have seen people reject good technical roles to pursue pseudo management roles.

Its almost as if they are afraid to take on challanging technical roles.
>I'll dub "IOgate" because it's the cool thing to name these.

FWIW, I've found that whenever major news outlets use the "gate" postfix for anything other than Watergate, it's an indicator that they're being manipulative (it's tabloid bullshit). The certainly didn't call it Snowdengate or Trump/Russiagate.

Keep an eye out and see if you don't agree.

Right, I'm confused by this. Surely the pilot would notice at least one of the planes he'd be inevitably crashing into well before he started to land?
> And if you think people aren't campaigning for serious social and political change I don't know what to tell you.

The social/political change they've been managing to make happen is normalization of left-wing radicalism, exponential broadening of the definition of "nazi" and generous application of violence to said "nazis".

They're also bringing back gender and race segregation under the PC-approved expression "safe space".

Definitely it's social and political change they're after.
That's the clear implication from what you wrote - did you not write it to dismiss the likelihood of global warming being caused by humans, and severe?
Seems that it was the ATC and another pilot who spotted it.
> The inverse is obviously true in that a white male is very likely to underestimate the injustices encountered by a black person or a female, but I find this to be much less interesting

I'm not sure I followed you reasoning for why this situation was less interesting.

I follow that people will tend to be blind of injustices they do not face, and will be aware of injustices that they _do_ face. I don't see the connection to why that makes the lack of perspective of the experience of others' less interesting.

I personally find the opposite. The more I learn how significantly different people's experiences are the _more_ interesting I find hearing these other perspectives.

PR isn't something you "get", it's something you actively work for. Conference appearances, press releases, interviews, television spots, documentary participation... these all take time, energy and planning. Yes, as you get more and more well-known these opportunities appear spontaneously, but it doesn't make them any less time-consuming - I would argue the opposite, they become an increasingly important commitment. Elon undoubtedly hustled for a lot of this stuff on his own, but I would be extremely surprised if he hasn't been supported by at least tens of individuals (and / or firms) over the years just for his personal brand alone (not including company-specific PR that's run by internal marketing teams).

The thing is; the entire point of his PR, no matter who helps perpetuate it, is built to craft the very opinion you have: Elon is amazing, and he can do it all on his own. While that's probably true to a large extent, it's not the only "truth" and reality. I, personally, am interested in the stories of the people who have helped him along the way - however few or many there may be.
