Something like this for changing drum brakes in a car would be great. Or changing a baby's diaper.

It's probably not worth a headset for any single one of those tasks, but for one that can be used with some training platform to learn any manual task, that would be great.
> It was once routine for me and others I know to be prescribed hydrocodone for conditions like painful seized muscles, root canals or severe strep throat. We were apparently all in the ~80%+ who used it as intended and stopped. It worked great!

I think this is exactly the kind of drug abuse people want to get away from. Some people also used heroin or meth and managed to stop. This doesn't mean it's OK to abuse opiates for things like "seized muscles, root canals or strep throat" ... WTH? Opiates are used to manage severe pain, not this I've-torn-my-nail-a-bit-I-need-opiates-now.

Pain is a part of life, stop being a princess and deal with it.

Any more info out there on the technical details of the bust?
This truly bums me out. Regardless of fame/money/anything the weight of existence can be really, really heavy. If you feel hopeless REACH OUT TO ANYONE. Stranger on the internet. Anything.

Not just "on the flip side", that's exactly the side by which the idea of "company as family" is used for.

No employee was spared if he was messing, not performing etc. because he invoked "but we said that this company is a family, so they must protect me unconditionally".

It was always the other way around: the company saying they're like family when asking to exploit employees more.

So the problem with the family analogy is exactly the inverse of what the parent says (and is precisely what TFA says).
In mobile, the top are: C, Java, C++, C#. C and C# aren't used for mobile...

In enterprise, JavaScript isn't even top 10 ??? and R is #6?

In embedded, the top are C, C++, and Arduino which isn't even a "language" ???

In web, top are Python, Java, C# then JavaScript -- nevermind that virtually 100.0% of all web apps include some amount of JavaScript...

I'm a big fan of Python... but not this way...
I think people agree that a price rise was a bubble after it pops, and I don't believe that prediction is a necessary condition.
This is pretty good. Thanks for posting it.
Except you won't in macroeconomics. The simple problem in macroeconomics is lack of data -- history happened only once so you can't test counterfactuals.

You can try to build a model, but the confidence intervals for the next big crash are going to be either useless (way too wide) or bullshit if what you're trying to predict is the next market crash. Building a classifier around it machine learning style will not fundamentally help, either.

You can try it: here is an open source, serious, full scale macroeconomic model by the NY Fed [1]. Try to predict the next large crash with it and report back

It's the California No. Look it up. It's well-known and endemic in the Bay Area and Hollywood, in particular.

My personal annoyance is how prevalent it is in dating now, given the number of people who respond violently to rejection (thereby training people to avoid dishing it out). I gave this serious thought and realized I'm 100% on California No style rejections ever since moving here, while in other places I've lived I'd get "sorry, I'm not interested," or something similar.

California No creates ambiguity -- do I continue asking? Did this person get hit by a bus? If you think you're doing a favor by avoiding saying no, you're not. Say no. Every time.

Sadly in Phoenix you'll find the streets entirely free of people year-round. Even when the weather is nice (Oct-Apr). I am one who walks, and often wonder if I'm just crazy when I notice I'm pretty much the only human not inside a car just walking about. I also not wonder but know it's true when I realize that hey, it really is too damn hot some days and being outside is just nuts.

Capitalism has a very clear goal: make more money, sell more stuff.

And the culture around capitalism in different countries, gives it even more specific goals (the american dream, the rat race, etc).

>That is like claiming evolution has w goal. Don't anthropomorphize it.

Isn't this statement obviously wrong? Evolution is a process in nature. Capitalism is a human invention. One can't anthropomorphize it, because it's already anthropomorphized by the fact that it's a human endeavor.
Except for the small problem of money not being sentient.
I don't know about the entitlement you describe, but isn't getting in on a startup more about 10x payouts instead of incremental "interest" payouts? I can only imagine a VC is not interested in a concrete demo of marginal profitability, and would prefer a pitch for some disruption that has some worthwhile chance of success.

Different types of investors attract different types of entrepreneurs would be my guess to explain the difference you see.
If they married teaching skills in VR for training and their Google Glass enterprise that would be interesting. Train people to get the basics in a VR that could potentially be done anywhere. Then augment them in the Enterprise with their AR offering Google Glass enterprise.

I'm not a VC, so take this for what it's worth (nothing) -

Self-awareness is huge. You should know the reasons why a VC might not want to invest in you, regardless of whether it ever comes out of your mouth or goes on a slide. If a VC is interested but has concerns, they're going to ask these questions, and you'll be better prepared to address them. It's up to you - and situational awareness matters - whether you decide to speak to these points even if you're not asked.

Yeah, the most successful business people you've never heard of will rarely if ever come out with an explicit denial (the ones you have heard of may also practice non-denial generally, but are playing by somewhat different rules).

Saying "no" makes people really mad. People remember how you made them feel, not necessarily what you said or did. Thus, it is most important to look after the feelings of the people you contact, even at the cost of saying or doing things disingenuously.

If you make people feel like you're interested in them and their ideas, that's much better than making an enemy who has sworn to prove you wrong. The best way to do this is to make them think you're 100% on board and that you're only being stopped by a technicality or some high-friction process that you're helpless to overcome.

Only a relatively small handful of people will eventually put two and two together and realize that you're intentionally stringing them on; most people prefer to believe the flattering interpretation that the deal is pending, it's just hung up somewhere along the way.

The reluctance of <AVERAGE_PERSON> to misrepresent things for commercial or political convenience only allows those with fewer scruples to rise to the top of the heap.
I hope you are right. There is reason to believe that some of the signaling for BIP91 is false (e.g.: bitmain has announced intentions to do a fork http://bitcoincash.org / http://bitcoinabc.org )

I expect they are serious and we will have a fork into BCC (Bitcoin cash) and BTC (bitcoin)

Certainly on the BTC chain segwit will be locked in. Whether it claims the mantle of "bitcoin" or not is to be seen.
Doesn't the max-age parameter[1] restrict a browser from accepting only those previously specified keys for a certain time frame? Therefor newly issued certificates should throw a warning. Otherwise it would be trivial for a MitM'ed sever to deliver their own key hash via a HPKP header. Or am I incorrectly understanding the value of the pinned hash?

I get this is (mostly) a tech site, but do we have to argue semantics every time?
Well, "Embedded Systems" represents a continuum ranging from simple non-smart programmable thermostats to microwave ovens, televisions, engine controllers, navigation systems, high performance servo controllers and more. I have always found discussion about programming languages to completely miss the reality of what it is to deliver, support and maintain these products.

I have developed embedded systems in the context of a real business manufacturing and supporting these products using everything from assembly language, through Forth, C, C++ and, yes, Python.

There was always a good reason to make an choice at the time. For example, an embedded system running a sophisticated control panel with dozens of knobs and buttons was done entirely in assembly language eons ago. It didn't take long for that to become a very bad idea. It was very difficult to maintain, improve and evolve the system. We ultimately decided to bite the bullet and port the code to C. The difference in the ability to express ideas was massive.

The only two languages I would avoid today are assembly language and Forth. The first because it is a nightmare to support, maintain and evolve outside of trivial systems. The second because it is impossible to find good Forth programmers these days and the ecosystem (libraries, etc.) is nonexistent. That said, I still think everyone should learn both.

I have yet to see an embedded system that can't be done well (and by that I mean the entire life cycle of a product) with plain-old C. Nothing wrong with the language. No magic. It works and it can produce clean, reliable fast code.

C++. Well. If you came up through assembler and Forth you learn to despise waste. And that's what forcing an object oriented approach tends to be when there is, in the end, no real need to take this route. Sometimes I see OO as a tool lazy programmers reach for. Some of the funniest code I've seen are things like erecting a complex OO solution to implement a state machine when a simple lookup table and minimal procedural code could do exactly the same, run faster and with less resources. I also do hardware in FPGA's so that's a formula for being keenly aware of resources and not wasting them.

As for Python. Well, frankly, it's about the libraries and nothing else. If you need to do an advanced embedded system with, for example, vision, you almost can't beat the Python ecosystem. Not because of the language. No. I couldn't care less. I care about time to market and the Python ecosystem offers a cornucopia of solutions covering just about any field one might care to name. You can hire Python programmers and anyone who knows C-like languages can learn it fast. That's important.

In the end we build products and all that matters is to build said products as cost-effectively as possible and the ability to support, maintain and evolve them just as effectively.
I'm happy with PasswordSafe. It's very oldskool, you'll have to run it under Wine on MacOS and Linux, and you'll have to do your own syncing (I just use Dropbox, but want to switch to Owncloud some time).
Makes me think of that quote from the begining of Money by Choking Victim[0]:

>> The function is system sustaining, it is to contain that
overall system, and you don't look at the particular cost. I could demonstrate
to you that every single bank robbery, that in every single case, practically.
The cost of the police was more than the actually money that robbers took
from the bank. Does that mean OH you see theres no really no economic
interest involved then. They're not protecting the banks, the police are just
doing this because they're on a power trip, or they're macho, or ah they're
control freaks, that's why they do it. NO of course it's an economic, of course
they're defending the banks, of course, because if they didn't stop that bank
robbery, regardless of the cost, this could jeopardize the entire banking system.
You see there are people who believe the function of the police is to fight crime,
and that's not true, the function of the police is social control and protection of
property.

It's not about an end all be all it's about keeping it in check.

Resume driven development is the way to go. Fulfilling the business case with minimal effort is good for the business but really bad for the engineer. You need microservices, NodeJS, react, cloud and whatever to stay employable. Even your own company won't be grateful for delivering a simple and robust solution.
Also they don't sell licenses for 1password 4 on Windows anymore. On Windows after the 30 Day trial your stuck or forced to go cloud...
Unfortunately, fame/money often can't help someone who is severely depressed, and can't help to find someone to reach out to who will listen and understand.
The goal of capitalism is to produce more than one is capable of consuming

This is the goal of any economic system as far as I can tell. I don't see how ownership of the means of production matters.

If utility is infinite, then the goal of production is to satisfy an equally infinite debt to maximizing utility

Sort of. This is why we have sympathy/empathy, social mores, the rule of law, and finally the threat of Malthusian apocalypse. Each of these, in order of increasing severity, exists as a budget constraint on greed in service of utility maximization. And again, this has nothing to do with capitalism specifically -- it would be true in any economic system. Socialist and communist governments in the 20th century went to great lengths in order to remind us of that.

When I moved to a new city where I knew literally no one I spent a lot of time thinking about, and working on this problem. I generally have a pretty small circle of people I consider friends and for me friendship with a new person doesn’t “just happen” I have to interact with someone repeatedly (I don’t think it’s a revolutionary observation to point this out but it is worth noting that repeated interaction is key). At the same time though, I’m introverted and sometimes I just do not want to interact. So I thought about the types of interactions that I feel more comfortable in so even on days that I don’t want to interact I can still usually handle them.

For me that means meeting people via activities. I’ve additionally found I’m happier when I’m a bit active so a lot of the specific examples lean that way but the general principle is the same.

Structured activities where the whole group is 20 people or less I can almost always handle especially if the activity itself is solo and the group socialization part can be dropped into and out of easily. My favorite activities like this are target shooting or archery: can’t handle people for a bit? Go shoot targets no one will disturb you. Feel like interacting? take a break and go to the water cooler ask for a tip on your form, compliment someones grouping etc and a conversation naturally starts up. But as soon as you are getting overstimulated it’s easy to go “I should really go practice see you in a few rounds” and drop out of the conversation.

Classes where we have to partner up so I’m interacting with a person or several people within the class, but one on one, with a known end time, work really really well for me. On days I can handle more interaction the door to chat a little during class and usually there is some conversation that happens just after. On days I don’t feel up to socializing there isn’t an obligation though. And because the interaction is structured around a skill I don’t ever have to stress out about carrying a conversation. For me boxing worked well, as did dance classes (which after I had done for a while so I felt comfortable and less like I was going to step on my partners feet led to social dancing). Language learning classes and meet ups were tougher but still worked well.

The final thing I did took some work but It’s really paid off in terms of expanding the people I know: I actively tried to turn myself into a social information hub. I have become a person who knows what is going on in my city in any given week. What are the beer festivals? What community events? What operas or plays in town? What fun runs are happening? What concerts are coming up? I don’t go to 95% of the things I know about but it means I can immediately make myself valuable to a new acquaintance by going “Hey you expressed an interest XYZ did you know $eventRelatedToActivity is happening? Seems like something you might be interested in” which firstly shows them I listened to them which everyone likes and makes them like you more and secondly tells them I’m a good person to maintain contact with because I can point them to things they enjoy.
He's probably exaggerating, but smoke evacuation fans with very high power are not unusual. I was at the LA convention center once when some bozo apparently tossed a cigarette into a dumpster and set it on fire. This wasn't a big deal, because the place is concrete and fully sprinklered, but it produced a lot of smoke. The smoke evacuation fans high above the lobby were started, and wound up to aircraft propeller noise level as they sucked the smoke out of the building. Worked fine; SIGGRAPH went on as scheduled.
I used pen and paper password management for a while (I use keepass these days), so I'll defend it a bit.

1) I used practically exclusively my desktop at the time, so the password slip stayed home

2) My home was relatively safe place; I didn't really have guests or other people mingling around and bulglary was basically unheard of in the area. My threat model did not include defending against law enforcement.

3) Paper is literally unhackable (with software), and it is trivial to understand that. I considered keyloggers to be a game-over situation anyway.

4) I always used secure password generator to create the passwords

5) I felt at the time that paper was more safe against catastrophic data loss (either due software or hardware failure)

6) Paper works universally crossplatform without needing any syncing. Multibooting and reinstalling different OSes etc did not impact my passwords

7) I wasn't confident in my ability to evaluate software password managers and especially establising secure usage patterns for them

With these points I still feel like the decision to use "paper under keyboard" was pretty well justfied and reasonably secure. Most importantly it enabled me to make the huge leap forwards from previous really insecure methods. Of course there are many reasons why you wouldn't want to use paper, some of them implied in above points.

I would never carry my password-slip with me on a regular basis, that seems just foolhardy, so that is the main difference between past me and OP.
The issue is that what keeps bitcoin together is that the computation is used as a proof which transaction is accurate. Smaller number of miners would mean that a party with a very powerful hardware could then decide what's real or not. If someone can get over 50% computation power of bitcoins, that entity would decide what transaction is real or not.

Some alternative crypto currencies use algorithms that supposed to be really hard to do in ASCIC, I suppose those would be more feasible for rel people to use them, but as I understand we are stuck this way with bitcoin.

There is: superior caching & resource management. Even if your non-SPA perfectly caches resources (impossible with bundling), you are still wasting time on parsing/compiling/executing cached scripts on every page reload, which can take up to a few seconds on smartphones.

"'The so-called anonymity of the dark web is illusory,' said Acting Administrator Chuck Rosenberg of the DEA."

I wonder if this is true, or simply hyperbole. I'm extremely curios on the technical details of this bust.

Edit: It appears that some info can be found here https://www.justice.gov/opa/press-release/file/982821/downlo.... Look at the section "Alexandre Cazes: Alphabay's Founder and Operator"

It looks like the founder was extremely careless. His personal hotmail email was included in the header of the welcome email and password reset emails to Alphabay users. He used the same username on Alphabay on at least one forum before creating Alphabay. This username was tied with his personal email and name.
This isn't a bug, this is due to the offline access option. If your machine has the database locally cached, 2FA won't do anything because your database won't be encrypted with 2FA (not possible), just your master password. An attacker could just copy the cached database and decrypt it with your master password. All 2FA does is restrict who can download your database (both initial and updates), not decrypt it. If you don't like this behavior, disable offline mode.

This is just fear mongering.
Right, use it as a tool in investigations, but ban it from being used in a trial (no testimony from profilers).
This announcement is timed in conjunction with the shutdown of "Hansa Market", which has been operating as a honeypot. They shut down AlphaBay, then users and vendors migrated to Hansa, which was already honeypotted, allowing police to capture login credentials for migrating vendors.
