Native (Sublime) vs Electron (Atom, VS Code)

Sublime is just so much more responsive than it's Electron counterparts. They all have tradeoffs so if the increased resource usage for Code and Atom isn't issue for you then you may not see the need for Sublime. Additionally if you prefer the the ease of use of the plugins in Atom/Code, configuring them with the GUI, compared to the editing of JSON files to configure Sublime plugins might seem a bit annoying.

I used Atom for a while because it "just worked" but I switched to Sublime on a cheaper, low powered laptop and the difference in resource consumption is very apparent. Almost everything ran smoother while Sublime was open compared to Atom. The plugins were a bit more involved to get working but for that use case it was worth it.

It seems perfectly reasonable to not count votes that are unclear. It's not a complex procedure to fill in a circle on a scantron, if you can't follow the directions, then too bad for you and your vote and your preferred candidates.

You can never un-see or un-know something. If you wonder just what kind of spot that can put you in, just keep hacking your own friends... I suspect any one of us would eventually see something we'd rather not have.

It isn't really a logical thing, more of a gut reaction. Also better the packaging be reusable. Even if you have no use for a pelican case I can direct you to a few people (starting with myself) that most definitely do.
Been using it for my company. Some good things, some things to improve.

- Even if I accept a meeting from my meetingbird(MB) email notificiation, the notification on the actual MB platform still remains.

- text is truncated. would be nice to see the full thing "on hover"

- when meeting request is pending, the invite shows "(pending)..". but even on accepting, it does not change.

- Meet was a great feature from Sunrise. Good you guys are trying to get a similar feeling here.

- noticed delays in event sync (nothing that is too distracting)

- using machine learning to suggest for best times for "coffee" meetings (based on user's previous calendar coffee events) will be awesome for Meet/Scheduler.

all the best! its tough to make something good.
They have half a million reservations for the Model 3, despite putting essentially no effort into signing people up, and spending the last year or so actively anti-selling it. They're currently adding 1,800 reservations a day, despite the fact that someone reserving today probably won't receive their car for 18 months or more.

I agree with your point as applied to a hypothetical generic car company launching an unknown model, but in this particular instance there's good reason to believe that Tesla will be able to sell every car they're capable of building.

You compare it to the iPhone saying that the iPhone was better on pretty much every metric. That wasn't the case at all. The original iPhone lacked 3G connectivity, support for more than one wireless carrier, support for CDMA networks, GPS, third-party apps, hardware keyboard, user-swappable battery, decent camera, FM radio tuner, multitasking, and removable storage.

The iPhone eventually gained many of these features, and most of the others turned out to be less important than people thought they were. But that was very much not obvious at the time.
I wouldn't oppose videos promoting many other militaries, including at the extreme end of the "them" spectrum the Russian military. Because they would follow Youtube rules and US laws. The Russians for whatever their other flaws understand bilateral communication and have the ability to treat people like people. This is something specifically ISIS (and some other extremist groups) cannot do.

Just like the US military the Russians are imperfect but after WWII they didn't promote rape as a benefit of joining their armed services. ISIS today presents the option of raping infidels as a virtue and a reason for potential rapists to join. Russia doesn't promote attacks on unarmed civilians, ISIS does.

This is only us vs them issue I have is difficulty endorsing people who embrace rape, attacks on non-combatants and other embracing of war crimes. No other group that is a world power does this that I am aware of. No group is perfect, but most groups at least make an attempt to punish people who participate in war crimes like this. ISIS promotes these war crimes.
Its curious how simultaneously we are stubbornly holding onto diacritics (and current orthography in general) while also having continuously lots of issues actually reproducing/handling them. One would think that we either would have gotten better at dealing with them, or dropped them altogether. Especially considering that modern fixed orthographies are generally relatively recent phenomenon.
The patriot act (amazing name) invalidated that statement. Not sure if it applies in this specific case.
Did you miss the part where I said "So when you hear someone like me or the person you responded to saying "nerds love to hate Apple", it's hyperbole."? I said that for a reason.

I restated the hyperbolic argument, then said "of course it's not all of the Internet, but that's how it seems sometimes" but the point still stands. Actually the reason the point stands is because not everyone agrees, but the people who hate Apple are always loud enough to drown out the people who don't. Go find any Apple product announcement and see for yourself what the top comments are.
Apple's stuff doesn't show up in a Pelican case, but it does have decent-looking packaging that is also minimalist.

I don't agree with that, violating ADA specifications is a sure fire way to be slapped across the face with massive fines and lawsuits, and every school I've attended bent over backwards to facilitate the disabled. Were there some cases or general biases you meant that I can read about?

Regarding your light vs dark skin, it would be an interesting question - if the laws allowed for "form" choices rather than purely "function," what sort of different kinds of children would we see from different cultures? Taller, tanner, blonder women from Sweden? Stouter, tanner, thicker men from America? Thinner, whiter, effeminate men from Taiwan? It'd be interesting if nothing else.
The Feedback Loop from Hell – Excerpt from “The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck”
Is there any plan that offers truly unlimited "3G" equivalent speeds? "Up to 2G speed" is an unusable scam. I used to tether to my phone on a truly unlimited 3G connection and that was what I used for home internet. Netflix, YouTube, etc worked great. Online games did not due to latency.

It seems that most carriers are trying to implement this in a roundabout way by letting services send video at reduced data rates in exchange for the data not counting against the user's data plan. What a complicated mess, and very scary with regards to net neutrality.
Races aren't objective facts of biology they are mutable social constructs (both in terms of identity and ascribed status.)

It's true that you can't directly control (though you can influence)) ascribed racial status (the rest of society collectively does that) but, that's true of all ascribed statuses (including ascribed religion, though that's often not significant in modern Western societies.)

I know this is a side channel attack. I know people have used acoustic analysis to retrieve 4096 bit RSA keys, but the attack outlined in the paper is more feasible in real life situations, and systems do get compromised due to implementation details. AES might not be broken as a whole but that doesn't mean you can't attack specific usages.

AES isn't proven to be secure. I don't know about $10k, but I would not bet my life on any hash function not being broken.

No, crypto is actually hard. One difference from regular programming is that there really are no 'intermediate' errors. Experience shows that getting one small detail wrong is as bad as getting the whole thing wrong.

I can't think of another programming domain where that holds.

My pronunciation of these consonants was improved a lot by reading the respective Wikipedia articles and imitating the described tongue position. That got me interested in the rest of the IPA, and for a while I spent idle time making strange sounds with my mouth.

Retroflex consonants are still awkward, but at least I can produce them reliably. What's really hard for me are uvulars, they feel a bit like choking every time.

Logo lets you leave out parentheses most of the time, except to use rest arguments or force grouping. For example:

? print list sum 0 1 2
1 2

That expression parses as (print (list (sum 0 1) 2)) because both list and sum normally take 2 arguments. However, using the parenthesised function call syntax, you can pass them however many you like:

? (print (list 1 2 3 (sum 1 1 1 1)))
1 2 3 4

Or you can of course mix and match (probably to better effect than this example):

? print (list 1 2 sum 1 2 4)
1 2 3 4

Logo also lets you use infix arithmetic operators with normal precedence:

? print 1 + 2 * 3 + 4

In Denmark it was public who voted for what until around 100 years ago. In the first secret election where employers, landlords and other people in power couldn't see who their subordinates voted for the workers party got markedly more votes.

Think about it, it's easy for an employer to say that he will only employ people who voted for X, a landlord that will only take in tenants that voted for the right party, or even family members that will make sure that everyone votes along party lines.

There's a very good reason why voting is secret.
It's interesting how elegant languages are those least used.
> I think there's a huge risk for Tesla that most people don't factor in- that it's very possible that most car buyers simply don't want one.

This is a legit worry, but well-designed electric cars are better than gas cars by a large margin, without question. Ultimately this is the only requirement, and it's one of the reasons Tesla is so extreme in its design aspirations.

So this risk is not a risk at all in the case of Tesla. It is certainly a risk for other companies (see Chevy Bolt).
Of course, this also means you likely have much less in common with the person next to you.
So you steal passwords from people who trust you and consider you a friend?

Interesting: utility vs art. Maybe it's a similar distinction between commission and wage. Art by commission or art by wage... I'm sure there are studies on which type produces happier artists (heh, but in a twist, it's still prob up for debate whether happier artists make their best art, but that line of thinking feels a little gross ;)

Anyhow, guess I was being too simplistic. In the ideal world, I'd hope we'd all have more early (high school) literacy on what these approaches mean, and which works best for which sort of value creation...!

There is an annual security focused convention going on this week called "Defcon" that many security focused engineers typically attend. Since wannacry was a big thing that happened between this year's con and last year's con, and because Hutchins is a security researcher, I'm sure he was invited to attend if not give a talk.

Not if you think about it properly. Hacker deposits 10 BTC to a mixer, except he sends it as 20 transactions of between 0.1 and 0.9 btc each transaction. These are all sent to unique addresses belonging to the mixer and are never reused.

So now the hacker has 10BTC in the mixer, he requests to be paid out to a list of 20 addresses. These addresses are sent between 0.1 and 0.9btc until the mixer has sent out 9 BTC (taking a 10% commission for the service).

None of those hacker controlled addresses have any connection with one another and they have zero connection to the original deposits made by the hacker.

There are also another 10 hackers doing exactly the same thing, so now we are looking at hundreds of transactions. So it becomes very difficult to connect the dots, also if you really could connect the dots easily I imagine that the FBI et al would really like to speak to you.
Don't ask me, it seems ridiculous to me.
Thanks for the in-depth answer; that's some useful info.
>There are ways to build anonymous but auditable voting schemes.

None that don't require printing a paper ballot so the voter can check the correct thing was done. And then taking that paper ballot and putting it in a sealed box. And once you've done that the high-tech bits are irrelevant and you're back to the cheap, safe and easy to use voting system we've been using without issue for decades or even centuries.
In your example, it is like everyone who has EUR being entitled to 1:1 notes of a newly-created currency called lira, with owners simply entering their EUR notes' serial numbers and being credited the lira.

Your "forex brokerage" then decides they're "not going to mess with this newfangled currency", leaving you none the wiser with how they're handling the newly created funds if at all.

If it goes up, they could shrug and say that they had the serial numbers so it was theirs the whole time. If it crashes, they could credit everyone the decreased value of the lira out of money they made by selling off earlier and pocket the rest. (Or take option A and pocket all of it, if the 'good' PR is not worth the slightly decreased profits.)

Considering the prices people end up having gotten "locked-in" on after price fluctuations when using Coinbase, this wouldn't even be "far-fetched" for them so much as par for the course.
I just think it's silly. It's a silly thing to get attached to or care about. The code just needs to be legible and consistent.

When the US government kidnaps non US-citizens they don't give you the chance to call your lawyer. You get stripped, beaten, sodomised and sedated. If you're lucky you get released after a few months of torture.

>Khalid El-Masri (born June 29, 1963) is a German and Lebanese citizen who was mistakenly abducted by the Macedonian police in 2003, and handed over to the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). While in CIA custody, he was flown to Afghanistan, where he was held at a black site and routinely interrogated, beaten, strip-searched, sodomized, and subjected to other cruel forms of inhumane and degrading treatment and torture. After El-Masri held hunger strikes, and was detained for four months in the "Salt Pit," the CIA finally admitted his arrest and torture were a mistake and released him

No, they don't degrade that fast. They'll be good for at least 15 years based on charge/discharge cycle data Tesla has collected from vehicles.
In his book What Technology Wants, Kevin Kelly makes a pretty convincing case that evolution, and by extension technology, is convergent upon certain forms. The eye evolved independently several times in natural history not by coincidence, but because the eye is a universally useful structure that an evolutionary process will eventually stumble upon. The same is true of ideas and the same is probably also true of brains. I wouldn't be surprised if life on other planets had forms similar to life on earth, simply because so many of biological structures on earth are so well optimized towards survival.
I was actually really disappointed by the Apple Watch packaging. I ordered an iPad and I could not believe that the box I received actually contained a 10" iPad. It was so tiny! When I opened it, the box was hardly bigger than the device inside of it. That is super minimalist.

When I got a Macbook, the box again was pretty compact compared to the device inside. Same with the iPhone, to a lesser extent.

But when I got an Apple Watch? Good lord that box was massive. Absolutely massive! They for some reason had to package the band fully extended so the box was longer than my forearm. Complete waste of packaging. I have no idea why they did that.
