I think you're onto something.

Yes, quantum entanglement doesn't seem to allow for transmission of information in the conventional sense. However...

Take a universe full of particles, many of which are entangled with each other. If you consider the entanglement as primary you can think of the entangled particles as single entities that have "extensions" into space-time that can be widely separated. I don't think it's at all clear that "living" processes cannot be carried out on this "substratum" of interspersed non-local entities.

But I'm waaaay over my head here, so I'll stop waving my hands. :-)
True. Then again, the cost for the scraper can be raised significantly by changing your obfuscation / anti-scraping methods frequently. All of the sudden a scraper will need close monitoring to ensure his scripts / regexes are still working and he will likely need a person dedicated to implementing new workarounds as soon as the sites-to-be-scraped push out a new obfuscation method.
Why filter, map, or reduce
Of course. But there's a lot of road between population dense areas...
This theory was once proven in a famous documentary http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJOVUF-HaDw&t=0m37s
I mean, before humans, there were eukaryotes, and prokaryotes before them. My argument is not supporting that the universe is a baby. It is saying that the being does not exist because it could not have evolved on this timescale, in the same way that single celled organisms are not human babies.
You sound like you need a hobby. Have you tried baking? Like, get a breadmaking book from a ised book sttore, read it carefully, and make bread. Its super rewarding, not that difficult, you end up with a finished product (that you can eat!) and its not math or programming.

Also, read literature anyway. Learn how to by doing it. If a novel is daunting read short stories (particularly Jorge Luis Borges or Cesar Aira). Reading wasn't important in my life until about 2 years ago, and since then books have improved my life dramatically. Its low cost, high yield, fully analog, ubiquitous, and enriching. Just learning new words makes it easier to form new concepts in your head and be better at stuff like math and programming. Seriously I cant suggest reading enough.

But really, this sounds more serious than just boredom or ennui. I side with Cozumel, and might suggest looking into a counsellor.

Putting text on a page isn't hard stuff. The hard stuff is teaching computer security to an organization that mistakes responsible disclosure for a hack attempt, and thinks a Twitter block will protect them.

It's probably also hard to know what a good security audit looks like, unless you grasp basic security in the first place.

I have no idea what the solution is.
But what is the problem?

When you run some sort of SilkRoad website, I doubt you can ride it long just because you happen to incorporate in Delaware. After all, its still a part of USA.
> "So often business leaders just want shit done, and when the technical types warn about reliability or technical debt, there is a lot handwaving. Thus short attention spans see agile as a way to justify shortcuts."

This is the crux of the problem with agile. The reason it's embraced so readily by business types is the reason that it fails. With the 'justifying shortcuts' description you hit the nail on the head.
That comes out of the fact that life is an arbitrary label we apply to certain chemical systems. It lacks a rigorous physical definition.
you can run ZFS on Ubuntu [...] You could also build this on Solaris with necessary licensing if you wanted to that route but it’d be more expensive.

I find it bewildering the author didn't even consider illumos or FreeBSD, where ZFS is a first class citizen.
The difference between agile and Agile is the difference between a democratic republic and a Democratic Republic.
You're not taking into consideration the economical consequences some bots have on companies. Some bots are designed to make payments with fake or stolen credit cards. Some bots impact on people that need to manually check for submissions or takedown notices. Obviously I agree that there are legitimate use for bots and scrapers, but that admittedly low percentage of fraudulent use cases do cause a lot of harm.
Sounds like people talking about Uber today. "No way in hell is Uber worth xxx billion. An Absolute joke. Uber is losing xxx million dollars every quarter. Who in their right mind thinks that they will all of a sudden make a profit off Uber by spending that much money?"

I mean this tells me that engineers (assuming on average there are more technical readers on hacker news) don't know anything about products and their values. Or it's just that people aren't capable of thinking long-term.

of course since most clients, know how to support and especially compile the source code (p.s. this barley happens)
That's like the people pushing Github PRs which will mine $coin in the CI process. But seriously, you can do that, but scrapers will have short timeouts anyway before they abandon the page or consider it loaded, so there's probably not much to be made in terms of profit.
Ron Paul and libertarianism were also super popular on Reddit back in the day. I remember that influencing a lot of my early political thinking.
It certainly sounds like a physical part.

Here's one that mentions 20%. But that's at a year. The % changes depending on how long you follow up(drops all the way out to 5 years.). This is study uses keeping off 10% of body weight as the definition of success which is far less than the amount that it takes to move an individual from obese into the normal healthy range.

If you can find a study where a majority of the individuals experienced significant and long term(3 yrs+) weight loss I would be happy to see it.
You can control Google's scraping by specifying a robots.txt, which most people won't do because they want Google to index them. The article means parties who don't care about what you want.
I use gvim for big files and nano on servers, but for everything else I also use gedit. I have never liked any of the bulkier editors or IDEs.
Quite many registries forbid this and explicitly forbids the registrar to hold domains for their customers. Those that disregard this can lose their registrar status.

It is sadly also common to see ccTLD that require that the legal owner have local presence in the country of the TLD. The way to go around this is to have a legal entity, often a law firm, which then holds the domain. If Njalla uses this, then you the customer don't have ownership, and Njalla do not either, but rather its the law firm.
So much of any job is the discipline to do boring but important routine tasks. You will probably not be fortunate enough to find interesting and challenging things to work on, especially at the start. If you can have the discipline to show how you create tic tac toe, or connect 4, or some simple crud app that stores contacts or whatever, you can show that you can complete work. And you can talk about the choices you made, why your code is good or maintainable or performs well. Motivating yourself to work is not something that comes easily to everybody, but you have to show that you can do that even more so when you plan to work remotely. You can also try implementing the same thing in different ways - like tic tac toe in vanilla JS and react - and discuss the tradeoffs between managing state in both contexts. But anything that shows you n engaging with the practical work of programming will surely help you out. If you need a team, you might have to get out of your comfort zone and find some civic having events in your city if they have those. There you will find problems and teams. If you can't bring yourself to go, email the organizers or get on their slack and see if your skills match any problems that people are working on.
The known standard does change though. For example, since Gobolinux came out in 2003 the FSH added /run and /sys...
The physics degree can certainly reassure a person when talking about what is pretty fundamental physics. I'm surprised the irony about accusing others of being self-reassured isn't lost on you. Then again, maybe I shouldn't be surprised.
First time I've heard of kava but the way you describe "overdrive" is exactly why I continue to use marijuana to slow down after work. Would you mind expanding on how you use kava and how it's effects compare to weed?

I find the tall skinny letters are much harder to read and random elements like the country map just add clutter. Giant color backgrounds are also distracting and probably make printing more expensive while lowering quality for people who print passes at home.

Overall I prefer existing boarding passes, which aren't actually that complicated these days. Also many people now use digital passes on their mobile phones that are much easier to use with built-in intelligence and real-time updates.
Err, except Uber is actually in big trouble...
I think some dislike agile because its adherents so often write articles like this. Pompous, dismissive, assuming facts without providing real measurable evidence and implying that people who disagree only do so because they're just not smart enough. If Agile didn't improve your processes, why it must be because you didn't do it right! And because of that, you hate yourself! You're just afraid of success! Uh-huh.
This book is amazing. Thank you for this

Why haven't network effects brought to Bitcoin mass adoption already, then? The very nature of network effects is that they are an accelerant for adoption, why hasn't this happened? It's been 8 years.
Literally everything we do as developers is multiplicative and derived off someone's work. Let me guess - you probably make money based off Linus Torvald's work?

So what if someone does the labor of porting up-to-date gedit to OS X and wants to get paid for it? If it was that easy to keep it up to date, the free one would be up to date too.
The first time I learned of adversarial research my initial thought was GD, in our automated AI-driven future, the people who master this are going to live like wizards.
TOR is an easy one to detect. Case in point: Try to browse the web with TOR and see how many CloudFlare captchas you have to solve in the first 10 minutes ;)

Also TOR has public lists of exit nodes (https://torstatus.blutmagie.de/), and unless you exit via a non-listed one you're trivially identifiable.

Lastly, TOR is rather slow, which prohibits using for large-scale scraping tasks. Plus you get switched around different exits and countries, which might break your scraping logic.
This one. Others couldn't scale or the investors weren't willing to invest in it to scale.

Orkut was for ages invite only. And thus became a ghetto consisting of Brazilian and Indian users. Expanding within some limited circles.

Facebook faced scaling problems in the early days too. But they believed in it and invested heavily to solve it.
I'm sorry for my empty suspicions then. This was pretty vicious, I apologize.
I'd be interested to know the situations where an LLC would and would not protect your identity.

The classic examples seem to be buying and selling things, but it's hard to imagine how this would work without banks.

Is the idea that it covers you for transactions via contracts/ownership-stakes/other illiquid-instruments-of-value?
All I can imagine that is happening there is panic. Defensive behavior such as this indicates either they don't really know how to fix this quickly, or they just don't care.
Hey! Great question. Our system is actually able to handle transcribing "sequel" as "SQL" automatically if you were to
"customize the model" for phrases like "what was my latest SQL query". It can also get words like "colonel" pronounced "kernel". In both cases, without needing the explicit pronunciation of the word. We have some customers who've uploaded thousands of proper names, for example, and we're able to transcribe all of them without needing the explicit pronunciation. This is possible because our ASR implementation is pretty different than traditional setups like Kaldi. You're right that there are some edge cases, especially with foreign words, but we're working hard on smoothing those out.
You need to be able to hold the sponge above the water and air levels so it's in the steam. Real autoclaves either vacuum out the air or have some other method to keep the air from insulating the item being sterilized. One could construct a small wire stand to hold the sponge near the top of the pressure cooker, that would probably help.
The result (return value) of a map is the list of results. A for loop has no result. So building up generic stream operators ((reduce (filter (map ...))) can't be done using for loops. It needs higher order functions or iterators.
It's answer of "No" is predicated on two assumptions: that the lifeform is not colonial in nature and that time is not a localized phenomenon. While on the surface that later assumption might sound absurd, our universe could very well be a Local Bubble of time. Time could even be a biological function of a higher dimensional being that is the size of the universe. There is also no way to disprove that without observing beyond the universe, which may get a bit dicey.
Engineering Education: Social Engineering Rather Than Actual Engineering
> but I WOULD care if a coworker propogated a document saying I'm inferior to them because of my biology as a female.

You wouldn't if you were working in Europe.

If this would happen here, all colleagues would have a great laugh out of this document, sharing it with others to show "What crazy John has done this time, making a whole document about his retarded idea."

If this guy is the asocial hunchback working in his office all day, avoiding others, but none the less doing great work, the company probably would keep him. Because everyone already knows what kind of a nutcase he is.

If he is working with other colleagues, this is probably a reason to fire him. First of all because this is not professional whatsoever, and because this obviously shows that he is not able to work with other people.

It this is a manager or HR person, he would be fired on the spot. Everyone would agree with that. If not what would raise some eyebrows too.

I fully understand that in US, you would care, but this is also the reason why the whole situation in US so surreal to me. I read that some coworkers even agree with them. And that makes it a problem indeed.
It is just strange that US and EU cultures are so alike, but still have such a big difference in how female colleagues are treated at the workplace.
> introducing politics

Any discussion about company valuations is as political as a discussion about US elections. Pretending that "business" and "politics" and "technology" are separated by clearly discernible walls is itself toxic to discussions about any of them.
And, indeed, even if it wasn't, you could always do your malicious scraping et al using regular Chrome with a remote-control extension or OS Accessibility API-based automation. It's kind of pointless to detect headless browsers specifically, if you'll still have the same problems from automated headed browsers.

Still, I agree that if people are going to try detecting headless Chrome, Chrome should strive to thwart that. The attacks in the OP seem like low-hanging fruit; I was expecting something more akin to timing attacks on how long Ready events take to fire given delays from actual rendering. Writing the code to imitate that would be a fun week.

Something about freenas saying no support and that the put together systems from iXsystems have lower drive bay counts.

Having used many different web frameworks in many different languages, Mojolicious is by far my favorite.

It's super easy to get started. The documentation and community are incredibly helpful.

Mojolicious has many powerful built in tools, but it is easy to replace those with something else or work outside the framework when you need more flexibility.
About nine months ago I was hired to create a modern "agile" development shop with an IT department that had a legacy product built on Access, SSRS, stored procedures, an old version of Sql Server, etc...

It broke every single rule of what I look for when accepting a job. I only took the job with the condition that I would have 100% support, budget and time to set things up right from my future manager.

I laid out my vision....

1. Realistic timelines based on a 40 hour work week. All estimates and deadlines were based on realistic hours, realistic staffing levels, and realistic utilization.

2. I would be given the time and budget to setup a proper CI/CD platform.

3. We would put in all of our estimates time for automated testing and code reviews.

4. Devs would have direct access to the (internal) customer.

5. I would have the budget to contract smart people at market rates.

6. Any dissension from the legacy developers with an attitude of "why do we need to change. That's the way we've always done things" wouldn't be tolerated. If they couldn't get on board, I would hire my own team and let the existing developers support the legacy product.
I really like the human text design, it's the only one that's a real improvement and easy to process.

I feel a lot of the others are swapping practicality for looking like an infrographic, prettier but just as difficult to process
No, that analogy can't be applied in reverse. You're right that placing the burden of proof on the positive assertion is a dialectic oversimplification. But the specific claim, "A living creature cannot be as big as a galaxy" does not suffer from the problem of induction - we can use deductive reasoning to falsify it given relevant, empirical observations.

The classic example of white swans and black swans adheres to the problem of making universal generalizations because we simply have not yet observed a black swan, and we cannot use the continued observation of white swans as empirical evidence. However, we are not attempting to make a universal generalization based on inductive reasoning.

We have, available to us, a schema for enforcing the testability of this claim, which the article and its references explore in detail. The square-cube law and our current model of physics both make it impossible for a "living creature" to be as large as a galaxy, for any definition of "living" and "creature" that is reasonably agreeable.

The normal processes of life; including temperature regulation, metabolism, energy expenditure and movement would all be severely impeded in a single discrete organism of that size. Moreover, it would have severely limited cognition even if signals traveled at the speed of light, which handicaps both its own sophistication and potential evolution.

It doesn't seem appropriate to characterize something that cannot have these functioning traits as "living"; the only way forward seems to be to broaden our definition of "living" or "creature" to some sort of aggregated, abstract consciousness that makes organisms like ourselves analogous to bacteria. But that can hardly be called a discrete organism in the same way that our brains are cognitively independent of the life around them.

There you go. Lost so many hours playing this game though.
I dislike Agile because apparently the only thing is "waterfall" or "Agile". Many seem to think that before "Agile" or at least "Extreme Programming" there was nothing but the waterfall boogie-man.

It's as if they had never read books like "Rapid Development" which describes over a dozen different design approaches, with pros and cons.

I dislike Agile because apparently the only important thing is the Toyota Way. They never mention alternatives like the Volvo's Uddevalla plant and humanistic manufacturing.

Eg, quoting from http://gerpisa.org/ancien-gerpisa/actes/9/9-5.pdf "After a slow start Uddevalla took off and in 1991 reached the level of the Gothenburg mass production plant. From the last quarter of 1990 to the last quarter of 1992 Uddevalla cut the assembly time at an average rate of one hour a month. This rapid learning curve surpassed developments at the Gothenburg plant, where lean production techniques were introduced to boost performance."

Yes, such conclusions are contested, but it's still a concrete alternative that's almost ignored by those repeating the chant "Toyota ... Toyota ... Toyota."

I dislike Agile because it's a collection of ill-defined mush. If a group adapts or changes in any way during a project, and the project is successful, then it's counted as an Agile success story, while if it project fails despite flexibility then it must not have been True Agile, or at least Enough Agile.
I'm in the US. I have a pool of data too, but there is a monthly charge for every device I add to the pool.

If adding a device to the pool also came with a little bit of extra data that might make it work out, but that's not the way it works.

Essentially I'm penalized for trying to use their services more. Instead of a nominal fee and making their money from selling more data, I have to pay a bigger fee just for the possibility of using the small pool I already have.

Not having to deal with tethering is not worth $10 a month to me.
