That's a very sad story. You are right, the inescapability is very hard to imagine.

My own kids are 5 and 3. I am acutely aware that this problem is looming for us. So far, my kids almost never play with our iPhones beyond FaceTiming grandparents; they get access to an iPad on the one international flight we do a year; and TV is a rare, weekly treat. Both of us work so this is tough to enforce, but I've already fired one nanny in part over it. I am hoping that their own imaginations will become more appealing places to play than some screen, but I recognize the forces I'm fighting against.

We're not luddites at all; they understand that music and fun things come from the internet, they get that there are fun apps on the phone they can occasionally play, we don't make any secret of our own use of technology, but we position it as a grown-up thing, like beer or going to bed after dark in the summer.

I don't really see how our approach can survive first contact with grade school.
But there's more to cryptography than just inputs and outputs.

Like, let's say we have two functions which validate a password.

Function A takes a user-defined parameter, compares it to a stored value byte by byte, and as soon as the strings differ, it exits.

Function B takes a user-defined parameter, compares it to a stored value byte by byte, sets a flag if the strings differ, and exits when all bytes have been compared.

Both of those functions take the same input, and both of them return the same output. Are you prepared to tell me that the two functions are equally secure?

I agree if it is fundamentally changing the nature of their code, but expanding an answer to include a Python 3 solution alongside an existing Python 2 one is something I've done myself and haven't experienced any issues with. IMO the most important part is to preserve and extend the original answer vs re-write it completely.
> Well, it certainly isn't helped by data scientists claiming to be better than ANY programmer and ANY statistician.

I don't really think that's much of a thing? I've been working in the field for several years now, and I'd say majority of my efforts when communicating with stakeholders is about _qualifying_ our capabilities and managing the expectations they're already coming in with.
For my own sites, I do all of the things jonssons said, but I also use haproxy stick table to limit the number of errors a user may generate. I also route certain URI patterns to a tarpit.

That seems complicated, fragile, and bad for performance in a DOM. Event bindings are slow (or at least, used to be).

I don't know the purpose unbinding mousedown on mousedown - it only fires once per mousedown doesn't it?

Why not just stick with `elm.addEventListener('mousedown', this.handleMouseDown.bind(this))`? Where's the benefit other than making things more verbose?
In the case of Apple not branching out more quickly, I'd say they're doing it to protect their brand image. For better or for worse, that's probably their strongest asset.
Using Escalation to Solve a Cyclic Dependency
For people who prefer infix, bc was/is a more user-friendly wrapper over dc. See:

$ man bc

and

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bc_(programming_language)

I normally invoke it with:

$ bc -l

to get more digits of precision after the decimal point (see Wikipedia page).

Excerpt:

[ bc first appeared in Version 6 Unix in 1975 and was written by Robert Morris and Lorinda Cherry of Bell Labs. bc was preceded by dc, an earlier arbitrary-precision calculator written by the same authors. dc could do arbitrary-precision calculations, but its reverse Polish notation (RPN) syntax was inconvenient for users, and therefore bc was written as a front-end to dc. bc was a very simple compiler (a single yacc source file with a few hundred lines), which converted the new, C-like, bc syntax into dc's postfix notation and piped the results through dc. ]

Note that GNU bc is no longer a front-end to dc:

[ In 1991, POSIX rigorously defined and standardized bc. Two implementations of this standard survive today: The first is the traditional Unix implementation, a front-end to dc, which survives in Unix and Plan 9 systems. The second is the free software GNU bc, first released in 1991 by Philip A. Nelson. The GNU implementation has numerous extensions beyond the POSIX standard and is no longer a front-end to dc (it is a bytecode interpreter). ]

Also, you can pipe the standard output of any other (filter) command into bc, and likewise, pipe bc's output to any other filter.

I think the difference is that there is no moral argument here, just a functional one. TV is fine, morally, but its rise did correlate strongly with the explosion of obesity and diabetes.

While you may love functional, and I'm not saying you shouldn't, I think you're strongly disagreeing with the statement you think I'm saying, "functional is bad", rather than the actual statement I'm making which is "functional programming's had many chances to become a mainstream language and it never takes off (outside a few specialities)".

What evidence do you have that functional is taking off? Since this board was around, every couple of years there's been a flurry of 3 months when a chunk of the community bangs on about functional programming.

First it was Lisp, then Erlang, then Haskell, then F#, then Scheme. I might have got the order wrong.

And it never, ever, ever takes off because while 10% of programmers find functional truly brilliant, the other 90% can't work with it.

For context, in that time Ruby (via Rails), Python (via Django and use in Science), javascript server-side (Node.js), Go, Swift, Rust and now possibly Kotlin have all taken off. Plus various other techs like NoSQL.

Canada has never had a united identity. It has always been fractured between English Canada and French Canada. That's an unstable arrangement, with two opposing poles of cultural power, and it's actually remarkable we have never gone to civil war over that divide.

Transitioning from a bi-cultural society to a multi-cultural society is actually an improvement, because it reduces the power of English and French cultures to simply strong minorities among many. It's resulted in a balance-of-power arrangement, where neither has any hope any longer of dominating the whole of Canada.

It means it's unlikely that either English Canada or French Canada will try to go to civil war with the other, because they have nothing to gain and everything to lose. That's a remarkable achievement all on its own.

Every generation is wrong.

Except the elders in the late Roman empire who complained about how citizens would rather cut off their thumbs than fight in the Roman army. Their decadence did actually doom them.

In general in history, decline and an increase in decadence is the norm, reductions in decadence are the exception. So many elders are in fact correct when they complain about the next generation. But the decline can often continue slowly for many generations before an outside tribe is strong enough to come in and conquer the decadent people.
I am not convinced they have the best battery technology or even EV technology. They are certainly best at touting their technology. They make choices and when questioned on it they talk over the subject.

I do hope they succeed this is a major market; automobiles and such; that needs new infusions to move forward both in technology and design. However they are at a very dangerous point in their history and how they execute over the next six months is most important.

The only items I have in that sharing menu are e-mail, which clearly there would be no need for this service if that were good enough, OneNote, which makes no sense, and advertisements for Store apps that I don't want to use.

Breaking the cycle of compulsive checking and distracted browsing is important to me.

There are two places I consume content:

1. When working at the computer, I read from Pocket
(or Kindle Cloud Reader), and
2. After hours, I read only my Kindle Paperwhite.

The discovery and delivery for me:

- Stream RSS feeds (HN[*], Xkcd, local news, etc.) to Pocket
(possible with IFTTT)
- Add links from coworkers to Pocket
- Buy books for Kindle
- Subscribe to The Economist[†] weekly on Kindle
- Use Pocket to Kindle nightly[‡]
p2k creates an e-book from random unread articles in Pocket
archives them, then delivers to Kindle at a set time.

So, in the evenings on my Kindle, I have a mix of articles to read from Pocket (delivered at 5pm) and The Economist, plus other books, but much less rabbit-trail browsing and wandering the web.

* I filter HN by points using https://edavis.github.io/hnrss/

† The Economist has a "The World This Week" section that sums up the world's politics and business from the previous week with a paragraph for each subject, and it's more refined and less sensational than the daily news cycle. It's enough to keep me in the loop, and there are more interesting articles deeper within the magazine.

When the author says:

> However, that assumes that someone presenting an analytical presentation will be viewed more favourably than someone presenting something softer. Basically, I had assumed a data-driven culture exists, when in reality businesses are struggling to create that culture in the first place.

I think this understanding of the situation is in itself part of the problem. It assumes that someone coming in with an analytical presentation necessarily should be viewed more favorably than someone presenting something softer.

Coming from someone who's been working as a data scientist for several years, data-driven decision making has its limits. One very important one is a strong, strong bias towards myopic metrics (e.g. "engagement" over "lifetime value", "traffic volume" over "reputation in the market"), on the basis that they:

* Are more easily measurable

* Provide more data to work with

* Provide a stronger signal/noise ratio

* Provide much faster feedback

An organization which _always_ values data-driven decision making over expertise-driven decision making is always going to fall prey to this myopia. Fighting cargo-cult data science and building a sustainable analytical culture also means understanding the limits of data-driven decision making and that it does not replace, but supplements, "softer" expertise-driven culture.
At first glance I thought snap had more users than Instagram and that surprised me a lot. If it’s just the amount time users are using the app, I don’t know it should be that surprising if Instagram cloned snap’s feature. Unfortunately for Snap FB has a lot bigger pockets than them and so it’s unlikely they will ever relent.

I hear you. Best of luck. This whole subject is hard to find "reasonable parental balance" around. I'm really not sure what we would have done.
Would it be useful if while reading about a solar eclipse I would find jokes about people pulling their pants down and mooning you?

The content and vision of the founder for that content is what draws people to Wikipedia and stack overflow.

That it takes people who occasionally need to be assholes in order to maintain that vision and ideal is a failing of communication to the out of sync contributors... and those contributors to follow that ideal.

There is nothing stopping anyone from forking the content stack overflow or Wikipedia and providing a different vision. If more people follow that new vision, it wins and the world shifts to a different site (that is what happened with experts exchange).

The main problem with the fork however, is getting the people who contribute good material and don't want to have to read jokes about exposed buttocks on the moon or favorite comic strip amidst documentation for Java.
> The equal split would be a matter of convention.

But you see, that's not the question I asked. I asked where the stolen money actually is. And the only truthful answer you can give is "I don't know".

I agree that we could create a system to track "tainted money" and use the proportional tracking in case of merge-splits (50-50 in our example). But you will quickly run out of untainted money (besides the freshly-mined coins), because

1) everything that touches the hot wallet in any exchange will be considered tainted

2) Even if #1 were not true, every time an exchange does a withdrawal, they don't do it in 1 transaction per address, they do it in batches, where they withdraw from the hot wallet into dozens/hundreds of addresses. They do it to massively save on the transaction fees.

I don't really have an answer for the source of good content but could tell you one of my logistical solutions.

I use BetterTouchTool to remap the "Three Finger Click" gesture to my Chrome keyboard shortcut for the "Save to Pocket" Extension and the "Four Finger Click" gesture to "Clip to Evernote"...

As I browse HN, read emails, and generally surf the web, I identify what content I might be interested in reading or might be useful later and click accordingly. Pocket for things I want stripped of styling and organized in a nice little FIFO list I can quickly pull up on my phone while waiting in line at Costco. Evernote for things I want the presentation in kept intact and searchable

My time at my workstation with a full keyboard and 4 monitors is a much better time to find content while processing content I could easily do on mobile during the day's numerous downtimes: listening on the ride to work, on the bike at the gym...

Pocket has a useful "Listen To" feature with variable speed settings and some other simple thoughtful additions.

Evernote for all its problems has the "Jump To" quick search and reliable multi-device platform-agnostic syncing secret sauce.

The system feels really good when I'm perusing an article with a bunch of hyperlinks to content that I should probably read eventually but will distract me from the task at hand if I were to follow them now.

Thanks for asking this, I love hearing about other peoples solutions.
Just because we can't publicly see what Apple is developing doesn't mean they're not being innovative. Apple, Microsoft, Facebook, MagicLeap and Google are all betting big on Augmented Reality. Apple has acquired Primesence, the company behind the Kinect, HoloLens sensors and Project Tango. Everyone else bought licences to use Primesence IP.

In September, iOS 11 will allow 100s of millions of iPhones and iPads to use AR apps which is important for when they eventually want to sell these customers Smartglasses. I also expect Apple to build a next-gen Siri in the near future. One that can intelligently program its way out around natural language. Similar to the Samsung acquired Viv.ai

I plan on buying a Model 3 in a few years but I think Apple has bigger plans for autonomous driving. Their physical car project has been shelved, for now, turns out it's pretty hard to build a car company with in an already established computer company. Autonomous driving system in the works, which could put them in the position to partner with other car companies, implementing CarKit and Self driving branded by Apple.

"Beijing has forced a long list of American companies to enter joint ventures or share research with Chinese players, part of a broader push to create its own technology giants. From makers of smartphones to chips to electric cars, American businesses have reluctantly agreed, fearful of losing access to China, which has the second-largest economy in the world.

...

But China can play a strong defense. The country has broad latitude, under special rules it negotiated with the World Trade Organization, to maintain restrictions within its market."

Yet when the president of China called for the US not to pursue protectionist policies, saying something along the lines of "we must work together in this global world", our journalists obediently parroted his words, without mentioning how extremely protectionist China is.

You mean the U.S. wholesale spying on the British for the British to circumvent British privacy laws and the British doing the same for the U.S.?

In a situation like this, there's little point in saying that intelligence agencies can't spy on Americans, because they're doing it anyway, they're just using a proxy to do so to bypass American laws.
