Great to see a fellow tech death/extreme metal lover here. Obscura, Necrophagist, and played with Ron Jarzombek. That's some history right there.

Tom Fountainhead (ex-Obscura) recently published a cover of a track off Akroasis. Fretless guitar tapping everywhere

I feel like this has to have precedent from somewhere, most likely from another expression-oriented language, but I can't seem to find one right now. I've checked the RFC expecting to see a discussion of precedence from other languages, but no luck so far.
Buying drugs can fund actions far worse than just creating drugs. From human slavery (drug mules) to murder. Some of the other things on that list are bad not because the actual item being traded is bad, but because of what the trade enables. I'm not seeing a significant difference between the markets in this regard, except for popularity.

Compared to the example you gave, where no one is harmed and no further harm is caused or funded by people being gay.

Edit to specify that this doesn't happen in every drug transaction.

I was not able to do that with standalone 6.8 for mac and ios. I bought 1Password back in version 4.2, and have gotten free automatic upgrades to 6.8. I believe I even bought the family plan back then, but when I tried to use it recently, I got nothing but dialogs asking me to log in to 1password.com (which I don't have an account on), and/or get a subscription which I have no interest in doing.

It was only by trying to activate an additional family account did I discover the change in the business plan.
Symantec is surely testing the patience of Google/Mozilla now. Illegitimate revocation seems almost on the same level as illegitimate issuance of certificates. Imagine the impact on an HPKP site.
>useless light early in the morning

That light wakes people up and increases their energy levels. It's not always pleasant, but work isn't supposed to be. For example, in the US, pushing school start times back from 8 to 9 results in an increase in student performance (it was originally 9 and then moved to 8 to save money on buses).

The Distracted Mind – Ancient brains in a high-tech world
The parent comment was a loaded question that there was some sudden change. If the old model did good / better, they wouldn't have switched to a more profitable model. I believe it's well established in our industry that SaaS models are more profitable than one-time software sales. The analogy is equivalent to why Adobe switched Photoshop to a SaaS model and why Microsoft did the same for Office. Recurring revenue is king in the long run.
Yeah, prices would certainly move and rebalance in this scenario. Not just in Baltimore, but in Philadelphia and D.C. as well.

My point is mainly that we'd start thinking about commuting distance differently if we had a system like the hyperloop (assuming the cost isn't prohibitively high). We could conceivably even build other dense cities somewhere in the radius of 225 miles outside of places like NYC, LA, or SF to offload people if commute times are around 30 min.

It can take me an hour to go see friends in Harlem or The Bronx, so you'd even open up the possibility of going to see friends or family for the evening 200 miles away for the same door to door travel time.

Of course this is all futurist speculation, who knows what the numbers would actually add up to until a pilot program happens.
Wouldn't the individual latencies also depend on clock speed?

How would you have a CPU be able to clock-up and clock-down and still maintain good performance?
The question isn't whether you can statistically measure an effect, it's whether the effect is large enough to justify the effort and expense.

It would be interesting to see a real study that accounts for confounders like site improvements or new products rolled out at the same time as the new certificate.

If there was actually a large effect it might suggest that browsers UIs need to be adjusted, given how little real assurance of trustworthiness an EV certificate provides.

Argument from authority.
A said X,
A is an authority on X,
Therefore, X is true.

This is a valid inductive argument. It is valid when A is an actual authority, when they are speaking truthfully, etc. It doesn't guarantee the truth of the conclusion but it is a fine argument. How do you know Booth shot Lincoln? You read it in a textbook, the textbook is written by someone who is an authority on history or that part f history, etc. It isn't deductive (like a proof in geometry or logic) but it is a good argument. Many logic books call argument from authority invalid and what they mean is that it isn't deductively valid but it is an inductively valid argument form (If it were always invalid, we would be quite mired in ignorance).
Nothing was cracked really.
Still no explanation of who built it and how it was built.

The fact that it was a religious area for many centuries has been known for a long time.

Ancient mega structures are one of the biggest mysteries of our world.
But for small pdfs, the in-browser pdf viewer is typically faster. I use lots of PDFs and while I read most in adobe reader, I still appreciate the in-browser rendering: it's often good enough, and stuff like smooth scrolling and tabbed browsing actually works better, and the UI is less in-your-face. The windows PDF reader has (IMNSHO) ugly fonts, and no upside I can find whatsoever.
Well, that's a clickbait title if I ever saw one, but it is a good article. It's basically a summary of everything we know up to now about Stonehenge. If you haven't read about Stonehenge in a couple years, there's some good recent work done that's worth catching up on.

From the article itself:

>But a coherent story may be beginning to emerge.
That has been particularly true over the last decade.

Basically "here's the new stuff we've got on Stonehenge."

"The enthusiastic replies on this thread are understandable, but disappointing to see: we all need to be less credulous regarding the lay science press, and especially the lay medical press."

So fucking what? I suffered a moderate (GCS 8) TBI 6 years ago and it has been the most impactful thing to ever happen in my life, more so than even the births of my children. This article is a small glimmer of hope in an otherwise depressing and difficult subject.

I am beyond glad people such as yourself exist in this world, are skeptical, and do the hard work of helping people and making lives better. But please remember that us lay people need these bits of hope and glimmers of light. I don't particularly care about the science, as a parent and TBI patient I'm simply glad she's ok. This article made me tear up.
As a systems programmer, it's surprising a marketplace for system utilities doesn't already exist - which is why I'm creating peddle. I'd love to hear from anyone else, their experiences buying or selling system utilities. Would something like peddle help you?
Just curious, is there a reason why you decided to design your own storage format instead of reusing kdbx4?
You've really missed the point. The point is to lower power consumption and increase performance on the CPU level. Running a VM on top of x86 does not achieve that goal because you are still on x86.
Arizona has always managed its water supply far better than California. And a flyover is misleading, most houses have natural yards and the lawns are all special summer grass adapted to the heat.
Not meaningless as the links between sender and receive can be eliminated completely depending on the protocol in place. The record of a transaction has to be on chain, but not necessarily who participated in it, or the nature of their participation.

It's true that a system doesn't have to be perfect to win, but I don't see how monero has the edge on any dimension. It's not necessarily the most secure, its not the furthest along in development, not the most user friendly, not the fastest mover, etc. The overall bullishness people have for monero is because its supposedly better in terms of privacy than its rivals. But this is dubious without the right kinds of proofs when the competition does have proofs.
OK, maybe I was being a little glib. But still, the news reports I hear from that area haven't been very positive as of late, and I do wonder if the country is fundamentally stable enough to rely on hosting anything there.

Minimum wage raises are great, if basic living expenses don't inflate to match it.

As the author states, $15 an hour isn't even enough to get her + kids off of Section 8 and Foodstamps. Minimum wage is supposed to be the minimum to afford basic living expenses, which clearly it is not.

The fix is not in continually raising the minimum wage. The fix will only come by putting a cap on rental prices, utilities, and food staples.

Universal income is a better step the right direction, but again it will only work if there is a cap on how much housing/utilities/food is raised.
This is your original comment:

This article is selling a narrative that you want to hear with a huge dollop of confirmation bias as andy_ppp points out. It's not very likely that you or your family are that 0.01%[1], but it is very likely that you think you are exceptional.
(I wish you all and your family all the best, but one needs to be very careful around this kind of narrativium.)

You may not mean it to be dismissive, but it absolutely is. It is also overly personal since most of my original comment was about the article. Comments about me and my sons were merely in support of those points.

And that's why it is addressed to you.
Haha. This is an incredibly polite reply, sharpened to a very fine point.

I'm grateful I have something to contribute to a site that I've gotten an incredible amount out of. And it's a powerful reminder that very very smart people can have a hard time critically appraising medical claims. As powerful as the internet is, medicine is really complicated, and it's easy for doctors to forget that.

I'll let the surgeon speak for him/herself, but for my part: I am raising the issue of industry size and quackery to give other readers context. It doesn't make the article wrong necessarily, but I would want to have that context as a non-expert reader trying to understand how it fits into the larger body of scientific understanding. And I would say yes, that does happen (and is appropriate to have happen) in scientific discourse.

On a related note: one amazing site that isn't well known is the OpenPayments[1], maintained by the US government. If you live in the US and have doctor, you can see how much compensation they received from industrial sources. Some of the numbers are shocking. Put your own doctor in, and see where they are. There is no need to resort to conspiracy claims when you can audit them, to some degree, yourself.

The physician mentioned in the article, Dr. Paul Harch, has received $74.48. So way to go Dr. Harch! we can worry much less about getting a skewed opinion based on a industry payments.

But weighing against that is his CV, which lists publications with "D Amen", who I suspect is Daniel Amen - an overly-credulous hyperbaric oxygen physician who has his own page on quackwatch[2], and subscribes to medical theories that are even less credible than the ones in newsweek. When Mehmet Oz[3] is an endorsement on your web site (Amen; not Harch), the public is justified in putting you in the same category. Farther down the CV is "Department of Defense trials for hyperbaric oxygen and TBI: issues of study design and questionable conclusions", wherein I'm predicting he single-handedly dismantles a large federal study of whether HBO is useful for traumatic brain injury. Feel free to find the original article and independently appraise it, if you think it's worth your time... I can barely find 10 minutes to pay back a favor to a good-natured community that has taught me a lot about computers and programming.

Finally: let's not lose sight of the incredibly good thing that happened for this child. Regardless of how or what or why, this is an exceptional outcome, and it's fantastic for this child. I only wish it wouldn't create false-hope for families who are less fortunate, but have thousands (or tens of thousands) of dollars to blow on questionable treatments and false reason for hope.

"it's significantly more accurate than any other fitness tracker's"

More precisely, according to one study, compared to other devices including Fitbit's 2014 model, Surge, Apple Watch in workout mode was found to be more accurate.

You know Apple Watch was in workout mode for the study because outside of workout mode Apple Watch only measures heart rate when you're still, according to https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204666 ... note that in workout mode Apple Watch battery life is "up to 8 hours" according to https://www.apple.com/watch/battery.html

The study did not examine more recent Fitbit models (Blaze, Charge 2, Alta HR) and did not examine Apple Watch outside of workout mode.

Disclaimer: I work for Fitbit but don't speak for Fitbit.
If you're using the loop macro, you can do it from Common Lisp (see [0]).

(block outer
(loop for i from 0 return 100) ; 100 returned from LOOP
(print "This will print")
200) ==> 200

(block outer
(loop for i from 0 do (return-from outer 100)) ; 100 returned from BLOCK
(print "This won't print")
200) ==> 100

They fund the ones supplying those drugs which involves a significant harm to society. Just look at people who are unwilling participants in the drug trade or those who receive funds from selling drugs to sell other things such as weapons or even humans.

(Yes, I realize legalizing local drug production and distribution would undercut the market, which is one reason why I am for legalization. But that does not excuse supporting the current cartels.)
While I doubt that many people check the vendor's public keys, it would just take one person to notice that a vendor has a different public key from another site (for example, AlphaBay, since there must have been lots of users moving to Hansa from there). If they questioned the vendor about it, they'd discover something was wrong. This would then blow the cover of the police, or at the very least be a big red flag showing that the site had been hacked.

In short, I doubt the police did this kind of thing because they risked blowing their cover for the sake of getting some buyers' addresses.

Also, these sites tend to have a big button labelled 'encrypt my message' - which ostensibly does all the PGP for you. I'd guess that most people are lazy and just press this instead of running PGP/GPG manually. It would be trivial for the police to capture the unencrypted messages just by subverting the auto-PGP.
For something as critical as aerospace, wouldn't a statically-typed language be a better choice anyway? I love Python, but I don't think it has a place where rigor and validation are concerned.

Though I suppose if you were writing a compiler, you could require and enforce type hints... but then any calls into the standard library will just have to be trusted. I dunno. It seems tricky.
(Professional mathematician and analytic number theorist here.)

This is not correct. When mathematicians (at least analytic number theorists) use the notation "log", it always means to base e, i.e., ln.

Natural logarithms come up all the time in math, and in analytic number theory in particular; base 10 is an artifact of how many fingers we evolved with.

In addition to ingredients, the real distinguishing factor that makes paella paella and not "arròs amb coses" is that the entire dish—including the broth—is prepared from scratch within the paella (the pan, outside of Valencia they're called paelleras).

This is really nice. In our experience, databases are still a huge hurdle for running stateful multicloud deployments. As we try to simplify multicloud container deployment, global replication and multi-region support are going to come in handy. I’m really excited to start dev’ing against this release, and hope to have a containerized version of FaunaDB available via Containership soon. I’d be interested to gauge interest in a containerized FaunaDB among the broader dev community, since to me it seems like a perfect match.
I'd say the history of our public transport infrastructure over the past few decades demonstrates the utter unnecessity of this scheme, since it happens all by itself anyway.
I am not dispensing life-style advise here but merely describing the effect of sugar/insulin rollercoaster.

Personally I don't like feeling of hunger so I don't do that. Getting hungry just a few hours after a meal is surprising when you got more than enough energy to last you several days already and your body has stored several months worth of energy in fat.

If you're limiting your calorie intake and have no weight issues then it is not, of course. You have used up all the energy from the food you have -> you will starve if you won't get more.

I get it. My general point is that there's an imbalance between the method of application delivery and the importance of the application (or the frequency of use).

The method that we have makes sense for frequent hopping between different documents on different sites and spending some minutes on each. As was the case with the original "web of linked documents".

But now there's undue baggage and pressure and complexity imposed on application developers because on one hand they are developing sophisticated applications that people use daily for many hours.

On the other hand they have to worry about the most trivial things like if some library of bundle file is 200KB or 1MB.

Or worry if javascript is even enabled or not, if whatever CSS feature like flexbox or grids or whatever is supported or not.

A trivial thing turns into something complicated because you need fallbacks and polyfills and fallback for your fallback and you know the rest. It hurts the developers but also the users because time and effort that could be spent on the product is spent
on this kind of stuff.

That's why I think the separation of content and application is becoming more important.

If you want snappy media that is not bloated and responsive and readable and open and all that fine.

But if you want a full-blown CRM or spreadsheet or customer support desk software and the like that you spend your day on let's give the developers a break and give them a predictable environment with a robust method of application delivery, without bean counting the bytes, and empower them to focus on the real problem that they are trying to solve for you.
I think blockchain-based proof of solvency is one of the most compelling use cases of cryptocurrency, fwiw.

Your argument is valid, but consider that most contracts execute very quickly and so the scope of the insurance is quite limited. For more elaborate contracts, or for a set of inter-related contracts, insurance will be available for highly demanded combinations.

Also, since much of the insurance is against fraud, as parties became more trusted the price of insuring against their bad behavior would decrease.

Insurance is and has always been a profitable business simply because pooled risk is desirable in many circumstances. Blockchains don't alter this basic reality, and they make it far cheaper to offer proof of solvency and other meaningful transparency measures that benefit consumers.

Consider, for example, if employees could do a solvency audit of the PBGC at the click of a button.
That's a good point, but I can't help but think it would also help to have your servers (and possibly yourself) located in a geo that isn't so willing to bend to the whims the US, various European states, etc.
Well yes, JS is not the cause, but it's the tool that enables websites to invade their users privacy, eat their battery, and blink and slide and splash-screen ads from every angle. Before JS became so well suited for that task Flash was the main culprit. The web was better without a Flash plugin (and it still is).
I, too, thought that was ironic.
>guessing you don't work in the medical field

Maybe the fact I don't actually makes it easier to understand biological complexity.

You guys have to figure out how to fix a brain when it breaks.

In CS, a holy grail is to match or exceed human cognition with general AI. It's not fixing something broken, its reverse engineering or alternatively engineering from scratch the greatest known computational device in the universe which has evolved over a billion years.

It's often not appreciated that this hasn't happened yet not due to lack of computing power. It hasn't happened yet because we're still not even remotely close to knowing what code to write if we did have 10,000 times more compute. We don't know how to do it, and instead are forced to plod along in awe as every year we learn a little more about what we don't know.
> This is because the oscillations are dependable upon the business cycle.

No, no, no, no. The "business cycle" is a misnomer; it's not a cycle. It doesn't fit any descriptions of a "cycle" except for the fact that it sometimes goes up and sometimes goes down.

Saying that it's a cycle implies you can time downward trends like crashes or predict their intensity, which, anyone in finance or maroeconomics will tell you is impossible
Hehe, I like that, I'll use it.
