Improved birth control implies "prevents unwanted births". Some places without 'modern' birth control have low rates of unwanted pregnancy, but some places are pretty high. They both lower birth rates, but better birth control will only drop rates to "as many kids as people want to have", which is >0 for a lot of people.

Voluntarily childless has a personal/psychological element - it's about not wanting a family in the first place - and can take personal birth rates down to 0.
I never got specific tires, I was riding a MTB with something similar to these back then http://www.continental-tires.com/bicycle/tyres/city-trekking... and it was almost always good enough.

Although to be honest, around here we almost never have persistent (packed) snowy streets anymore (those usually have very good grip). The winters are milder with every year, so most snow just disappears in a few hours, and most cycle-paths and streets are salted heavily, so it is just wet most of the times.

The only really tricky situations were right in the middle of heavy snow-fall, where a lot of salt was already on the street or being added. The street is soap then, and I don't know if any tire will help you with that.

It is another thing if you live where there is a lot of snow, and often fresh powder - let's say more than 15cm soft surface on a regular basis. I guess yes, you would sink with most regular tires there, then you need large balloons and a bike that can take them.
To the contrary, there is a large amount of math to be learned from 2d game development(beginner level). Algebra, geometry, coordinate spaces, physics, perhaps even linear algebra. You are right that it is more engineering, but engineering encourages and facilitates understanding scientific principles.
Just yesterday I used an old raspberry pi to make a bluetooth audio receiver that could be integrated with my vintage stereo equipment. You can buy something off the shelf for around $25 but they use cheap digital-to-analog converters and I wanted to use the high quality USB DAC I already had. Total hardware needed was the Pi, powered USB hub, USB DAC, and USB bluetooth adapter.

Math tells us longer passwords are better than longer alphabets, yet I am often forced to add special characters. If I have 12 character password over an alphabet of 26 characters, there are 26^12 possible passwords. If I have the choice between adding 5 special characters or increasing the length of my password by 5 characters, math says do the latter:

(26 + 5)^12 = 7.88 x 10^17 < 26^(12 + 5) = 1.13 x 10^24

That's over six orders of magnitude higher. How come supposedly computer savvy people don't know the difference between x^N and N^x?
Not the current OAuth. It is different for each provider. The standard isn't strict enough. I have to write something special each implementation I want to use. The standard needs to be modified so every implementation works exactly the same way - then I'd say OAuth would be a good potential solution.
Recreating the Sony Aibo robot dog using a pile of cheap servos, 3 axis gyro, the camera, wireless, neopixel lights, LiIon power, etc. Shoulder joints, body shell and chassis 3d printed. Total cost is around $150.

Locomotion is largely based upon the designs documented by Cynthia Brezeal Ferrell (MIT mobile robots lab, under Prof. Rod Brooks) in her PhD thesis for the hexapod robot, Atilla/Hannibal.

The first attempt was using Python which presented two insurmountable problems : 1) raspian OS boot time of 1.5 minutes which is unacceptable for an embedded device and 2) python threading is not sufficient for realtime. I was attempting to make series elastic actuators but the imprecision of the threading (jitter) was leading to wild oscillations... I finally had to accept it was a dead end.

I have started over in Elixir + Nerves which is designed at its core for embedded work. I will admit it is very slow going. Not because of any deficiencies in the language or environment. Quite the contrary -- I get a 10-second cold boot time and superb stability! But rather my mind is the limiting factor here. After three decades of imperative programming, the shift to functional programming is a challenge!
This is the one I made. Pretty easy construction.

Ok, but what functional knowledge did we gain? Not "run this neural net, and an interesting thing happens". How are those 300 neurons implementing interesting motor behavior? What behavior are they really implementing? What's the algorithm, what's its goal?

The connectome model only addresses the third and lowest levels of Marr's analysis of a cognitive/biological system.

1. Computational: What does the system aim to do? What problem does it solve?

2. Algorithmic: How does the system solve or approximately solve that problem? How does it accomplish its purpose as a part of the organism?

3. Implementation: How are cells and/or organs put together to implement that solution?

You can have a very accurate picture of (3), and still lack any solid knowledge about (2) or (1). You can also sometimes have a clear picture of (2) and (3), but overgeneralize and wind up with a near-tautological theory for (1) -- that's the accusation being thrown at certain parts of theoretical neuroscience today.

It's explicitly an article about the microeconomic impact of neoliberalism, so discusses places where that holds particular sway such as, as you mention, USA and U.K.

You are correct that it is less appropriate to a place such as Germany where Ordoliberalismus is a more popular model. But the article doesn't pretend to discuss this.
How does that fit the GP's observation that more and more design is focused on "engagement" - which, from the techniques involved, is really not much different than designing for addictiveness?

Also - without knowing the theories - only because a configuration is unsustainable doesn't mean that such a configuration won't appear.

There have been many "self-corrections" of unsustainable configurations in history which I am glad to not have witnessed personally...

You're still turning a descriptive statement into a prescriptive one. peteretep did not advocate any policy in the comment you replied to. Among the policies he did not advocate is "we should never charge any fraudster". Another policy he did not advocate is "we should be extremely careful which fraudsters we prosecute, to avoid of chilling effects".

He did not advocate a policy, but you took his comment as advocating an extreme policy.
Impossible Japanese ring puzzle
I'm a "young folk" who worked at a company that implemented his Tour of Duty. However, my "tour supervision" was so incredibly bad, I was way better off jumping ship after not even 11 months.
If a company believes I'm only in it for the money, I'm likely to think that company is using "caring about the work" as a way to reduce my salary. Salary translates to investment. Caring about the work won't grant me another 100k at retirement.

The only reason to show that I care about the work and take potentially less salary is if I think the economy is going to take a turn for the worse and I need a job for 3-10 years to ride out the storm. In which case I have to take a lower salary, but at least I have a job. Remember, I can't know how much the company is able/willing to afford.

And just to clarify, not caring about the work doesn't mean doing a terrible job. It means giving them what I'm paid for, but I'm not going to go the extra mile for them (overtime) because there's no incentive to do so.

This story, or similar, has been posted multiple times over the last few days.

One of the chief problems of transportation during winter is "How do we minimize accidents while half a meter of snow has fallen within a 12 hour period?" The problem is two fold: roads become slippery, and as they are plowed, the sides of them fill up with snow, reducing lane size.

Without dedicated bike lanes, a reduction in lane size is bad enough (it is hard to share the roads when there is no road to share). Add in drivers trying to swerve around bicyclists (a really dangerous action on icy roads), and you have a recipe for accidents.

As this article points out, advanced planning is key. But convincing Canadians (in places like Manitoba), who have very low population density and very far stretches of road to build/maintain, to sacrifice infrastructure dollars for bike lanes would be a tough political move. Finland is about half the size of Manitoba and has 4x the population. That's an 8x spending advantage in terms of roads!

Europeans have a much easier time with infrastructure than Canada (and the US to a lesser extent) because of significantly higher population density. I know I'd love to have European-style infrastructure, but it just isn't practical.

Personally, I wouldn't feel safe riding a bicycle in the winter. Not with our roads.
I agree that prohibition doesn't work, but the police needs to do their bit as well. And if a darknet marketplace is taken offline, I don't think its users will have to go on the streets, there are many other marketplaces out there; just in the same way as when a street dealer is arrested, people will just end using a different one.

It seems that you are actually agains policing it, which is not the way forward, as there is a large amount of the population which is against drugs, and their needs need to be accounted for by the Government. So by catering for both parties (users/dealers and police), the darknet is a viable solution that helps everybody in the end (efficient purchase, efficient policing, less violence, less waste).
I agree with you.

However, wouldn't somebody who makes say 9$ an hour have the same thoughts about developer salaries?

> If I made 200k a year, I would work for about 5 years and then retire.

I mean it's possible if you save a ton and live very cheaply, like somebody who today makes 9$/hour might be used to doing.

People always want more. Though, there is a sweet spot (~90k/year?) where more money means less and less to you.

The overall value of each category is truncated to the maximum value of that category - for example, if you have 10 open ports, you will get an overall score in "Attack Surface" category of 2, because it's the maximum value (vulnerability importance) that we attributed to that category.
The final score is the sum of the overall values of all categories, and then it's normalized between 0 and 100.
If you have all 0 in Encryption, and then the overall result for that category is 3, something went wrong... thank you for your feedback!
> Instead, 2 years is a pretty common stretch before turnover in white collar jobs, especially for younger folk. Employees become better off from firm-hopping, and employers have no reason to offer long-ROI incentives such as paid masters' programs.

I'd have gladly stayed at my third job for much longer than the ~21 months I did had there been training, retirement, reasonable pay increases, and career development offered. The same for my forth job. Some number of jobs later and my current one is also my longest tenure to date. Not coincidentally I have had and continue to have a clear path of career development, non-trivial pay increases and bonuses that aren't tiny. I've given up on employer-provided proper retirement plans and education/training.

"Firm hopping" exists, in my opinion, precisely because companies tend to either not recognize the role they must play in supporting long term tenures or else simply don't value them enough to allocate resources to the support.
I conflated nothing. The reply to you by detaro will help you become less misinformed, if you take the trouble to read it.
I'm sorry you're not getting much of a response. May I suggest consulting the forums at https://forum.wilmott.com ? The participants there are extremely knowledgeable financial industry professionals. It sounds like your just starting out so maybe it's not too late to give you my two cents. FX trading is unsuitable for outsiders because unlike the securities markets which are heavily regulated and somewhat centralized, FX brokers are difficult to catch in the act of deliberately giving you a bad price or execution because no one can verify the conditions that prevailed at the moment of your trade. If you find the perfect algorithm, your outsize returns will come to the attention of intermediaries with sticky fingers.
Tell HN: On Cross Platform tools
https://www.apple.com/hotnews/thoughts-on-flash/

I guess Steve's Jobs comments on cross platform development tools can be easily extended to "React native", "Xamarin", etc.

Doesn't?

P.S. Yes, I'm duplicating my comment from the Flash EOL Announcement.
It depends on how much snow you get. Normal tires are fine on snow once you get used to it. So if you have icy conditions just for a few weeks, it's probably not worth the hassle to switch. (I've been riding a road bike throughout all winter for more than a decade now. Riding on snow is fine. The only dangerous situation in winter is actually on warmer days without snow, where one doesn't expect anything, but when the road has frozen over invisibly in some dark corner.)
I'm glad to hear you only invested a small amount. Hopefully you can just take it as a life lesson and not be filled too much with regret. I've certainly made mistakes that have cost me money in the past. A few examples: dropping out of school (and later returning years later once tuition had tripled), missteps in my career, a period of unemployment exacerbating my credit card debt, etc.

It is probably best to wait until you've bought the property. That property is an investment as well. I don't mean in the "buy a house and sell it later for big bucks" variety, it's an investment for more comfort in your life and future. I'm about ready to start saving up for a house as well, and it's going to be hard to stop throwing in $100 here, $100 there towards crypto and only put it towards a downpayment, but I need to start doing that.

Also stop buying video and board games for awhile. I'll have to only play the stuff I already have and never got around to playing for awhile. It's going to be hell :)

The article doesn't condem this per se, simply discusses the negative consequences for companies and people working in them (look at the Java/C++ case).

I don't think it's safe to assume that the big company will take care of you forever but it's equally disastrous that the metrics of value have become so one sided.
Is this the daily "Teehee I'm a girl and I program look at me!" article?
Just as cars would be useless for much of the winter if roads weren't maintained, well-maintained bicycle infrastructure works just fine in the winter.

Sensible clothing, just as one needs to walk or ski, is all one needs to bike in the winter. Studded tires can make up for defects in infrastructure maintenance.

And having sunny outdoor time midwinter is decidely good for my mood— people pay thousands of dollars to take ski vacations, after all.
This is the one thing I have been waiting for from Android Auto. Super happy to see it!

I use IPSec for my VPN needs (accessing my stuff at home from remote places mainly) and run FreeBSD. Getting it set up was annoying, to say the least.

I have no idea why they didn't include NAT-T by default in 11.0. I'd hazard a guess that most VPN connections involve at least one end being behind NAT.

...an attacker can use the knowledge of your password on site A to bruteforce your master password offline.

This might be a concern if you're the victim of a state-level targeted attack. That's not a threat most of us have to deal with. Hackers aren't likely to spend a lot of effort cracking John Doe's password list; they want to steal a few million password hashes and sift out a few thousand easy or re-used ones.

Your other points about the weaknesses of the scheme stand. Still, if we could get more users to use not-terrible, not-duplicated passwords, even with a flawed scheme like this, overall internet security would improve immeasurably.
Freelancer.com a bad site for workers
Has anyone else here found freelancer a bad site for workers? I think, from the point of view of workers, that the site is little more than a scam or a fraud. Recently worked there on a project, and the employer refused to pay! I arbitrated, and freelancer ensured that he paid me, then let him put a 'revenge comment' in my feedback! What sort of crazy system is that? How can I ever arbitrate against a non-paying employer in future. And if I can't, what protection do I have on this worthless scam or fraud site?
If you like ultra high risk/reward investments and can afford to lose your money why not? It's like a much bigger roulette wheel where 90% of the slots are green but one of the slots gives you FU money.

If you want to do inter-network connectivity, it's handy to have real IP connectivity instead of a manually configured port forwarding system. Sometimes it's nice to be able to access stuff running on your home Raspberry Pi from your 4G phone, or your friend's network, for example.

You might want to run apps that benefit from robust P2P connectivity, like VoIP or WebRTC apps.

You might use a VPN to connect to another network and get addressing conflicts.
Oh yes, black ice is nasty. But I used to slow down during very cold mornings anyway and only slipped once in a remarkable fashion with rather slim tires.

If you're slightly used to biking, you will have a foot down almost immediately (which will also slip, granted), but it almost always becomes a rather comical slip that takes you to the ground rather slowly instead of a neck-breaking action stunt in my experience. I guess it is different if you have full racing gear and a street racing bike, don't want to slip with that.
Voluntary, perhaps with a kick back for testing? Then maybe. Though I myself would not sign up for such until the regulations are in place governing privacy and such; even to the point of determining who is chipped and who is not.

Curious about your SDR meter monitoring. Any links or description of how that works? Would love to monitor my electric and water without using the energy company's devices.
Now that it is complete, I'd love to learn more about the work they had to do to port it over.

They've been talking about Waze for AA for over a year, so I'm guessing quite a bit of work had to be done to make this possible. In particular did they need to make any design changes to Waze to make it easier to use via the AA interface?

Unfortunately my 2016 vehicle only has mirrorlink v1.1+. Which unlike mirrorlink 1.0 doesn't actually mirror your phone, instead it is a proprietary app ecosystem with ten low quality paid for apps, even assuming any smartphone still supported mirrolink (which almost none do).

I wish there was just a single open standard in the vehicle industry. Toyota for example is refusing to do AA/Carplay and is starting yet another "standard" called SmartDeviceLink.

Agreed, but I'm still finding that pretty interesting.

Google owns both and don't they share data on the backend between the two apps (e.g. Traffic data, etc)

Let me reword this then. Why should an entity remove something from their listings when the offended entity can remove it from the local listing on its machine? The thing is - in the first case we are talking about public lists available for everybody. Why should the majority of users be left without and additional source of distribution (for example)?

But yes, obviously it's up to Arch maintainers wether they want this to be there or not.
