There's no guarantee anymore that if the person bought two seats, that they would be together. A basic economy ticket won't even let you pick a seat in advance on some carriers anymore.

I really dislike flying and I avoid it since it's a miserable experience. And I'm not willing to pay 5-8x the economy rates for what I'd consider a tolerable experience in first class.

I read Greg's claim (and it's similar to mine) as meaning that there's no test to distinguish between fatal cancers and benign cancers, and this test doesn't claim to be such a test. Even if you have a test that's 100% accurate at detecting cancer, it's only useful if it only detects cancers that are likely to be fatal, otherwise unnecessary treatment will be expensive, both in dollars and in deaths.
It would be interesting to automatically generate the training data and feed it to the ML module in real time.

You could hard-code an interactive agent that periodically peeked and coerced the input (between itself and the ML function). This way the ML module is coercible.

It would even be more cool if the ML function itself learned the interactive agent function as part of itself.
I think there is a significant difference in that developing g your own language requires a rewrite to use new language, not a tweak to existing code..

If you insist on them "creating a new language" then say that they created a new language to speed up development, not to ship their apps. They were already shopping their apps. This is an optimization that helps them speed up development on their existing codebase.
Congress shall make no law ... abridging the right of the people peaceably to assemble.

It's not at all unreasonable to make the argument that large groups of people bringing guns to protest breaks with the peaceably part, especially given the evidence.
The problem is that whatever group is considered evil can change day to day. Right now 99% of people, myself included, can agree that supremacists or neo nazis are bad people and output evil ideas. However, it wasn't too long ago that the majority of people were against gays getting married, or even different races getting married. When we set up precedent or infrastructure to harm a group outside of the rule of law just because they are assholes, we leave the opportunity open for those in power to remove other groups they don't agree with even when those other groups are not as clear cut evil

Ohhhh, I see. Woops.

Thanks for explaining that. I was actually aiming to describe code coverage in my previous comment, but completely overshot that and went to fuzzing instead, lol.

I just found https://coverage.nodejs.org/, which you're probably already aware of. Apparently it uses istanbul for JS coverage and gcov for V8.

Also, https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#s... says that `make test` runs tests, presumably from https://github.com/nodejs/node/tree/master/test. Thinking about it, if Node.js' tests pass running under QEMU usermode, that should be good evidence that QEMU usermode is working too, right?

Looking further afield, I wonder if running tests from other large projects - Qt comes to mind, although you could also be utterly insane and try GCC/LLVM xD - could be used to exercise QEMU.

As an aside, I'm very curious to learn what QEMU's corner cases are, if just so that if I want to do horrible things in ELF files one day I know what won't work. :P
Be careful of that. Lots of people have come to grief because they assumed because their boss, teacher or whoever seemed friendly, it was okay to confide in these people about some personal vulnerability such as a health problem, the way they would a friend. And just because society needs a nonzero degree of hierarchy, does not mean it must or should have anywhere near as much as it currently does.
This has the ability to have a huge impact on the industry, depending on how the transition goes and under which processes things are being governed.

But was your standard ticket decades ago, which had the 35" of legroom, three times as expensive? People who pay for the amenities are getting ripped.

It used to be that everyone paid a little more, but it was mostly a tolerable experience to fly. Now, <5% of the plane pays anywhere from 3-10x the economy fare to be comfortable and everyone else is packed like sardines.

This is like income inequality, but with planes.

Basically every Swiss city has the transit I'm talking about. I lived in Switzerland for 9 months last year. Zurich is less dense than SF. Geneva is more dense but the density of the country as a whole is less than the SF Bay area.

I had some Swiss friends and we were on a train once that was delayed by 15-20 minutes. They were all complaining because this happens once in a blue moon. They mentioned that if the train is delayed by more than 3 minutes it has to be posted on signage and if it's delayed more than 6 minutes or would cause someone to miss a connection it results in fines to the operator. I haven't been able to find a written source to back this up but personally I almost never experienced delays on Swiss transit.

SCOTUS has long acknowledged that there is a line where freedom of speech ends. Skokie says that merely being a neo-Nazi doesn't cross that line. Brandenburg says that only imminent lawless action crosses that line.

What the ACLU is saying is that they do not believe that dressing up as a paramilitary force (complete with live weapons) for a protest can be credibly called an intent to remain on the constitutionally-protected free speech side of the line.
> All I see is complacency and horrible decisions

That's because they can't afford to make the consequences of their bad decisions go away! Bias against poor people runs deep: If a poor kid steals trinkets worth $30 they are going to juvie; a rich kid rapes a girl - "Oh, he is suffering from affluenza. Should we really ruin his promising young life?"

Drug using and poor = junkie vs. drug using and rich = "parties hard". The latter can use daddy's money to go into rehab, hire excellent lawyers to get the records sealed and viola - no horrible decisions for you to see. When you're poor, you can go from traffic ticket to arrest warrant unbelievably fast.

Timing could not be any worse. iPhone 8 will be out next month so even the people considering buying Essential will at least wait it out another month to see how the iPhone is.

I don't see it mentioned and it may be a little dated by now, but Barbara Ehrenreich's book Nickle and Dimed is a very good read on this topic.

This post is wrong on so many levels.

Those ideologies did not have the hatred and violence at their core that Nazism did. That's why there is no "Godwins Law" when it comes to Marxism. That's my point: This is the most reviled philosophy that currently exists, and people are complaining about "free speech" when previously they would shriek "Godwins Law" whenever comparisons are made. That's how far we've fallen.

Saying that free speech is binary is incredibly misguided and a root cause of the problem. It's overly simplistic and absolutist and quite frankly, is complete and total nonsense. At some point something will be uttered that you or some other "free speech absolutist" will object to.
Again... it's pretty obvious that being a black block protester or antifa can get you fired. That's the entire point of dressing in black and evading the police. They're perfectly aware that they're taking extra legal measures...

> who have beliefs that are equivalent to nazi beliefs

That's an interesting equivalence you've drawn there. Which races do they believe in exterminating again? I forgot.

> publicly stated

Where?

> "The liberals get the bullet too".
> Go look up that liberal phrase. It is actually quite common, among leftists.

Liberals say that liberals get the bullet too?

I had never actually heard that phrase before so I googled it. I can't seem to find anything about it from before 2017, so it seems like it got famous due to a piece of graffiti from earlier this year. While I don't doubt that there are people on the far left that say this kind of thing, I think they're pretty fringe and are more bark than bite. In reality these people actually vote for people like Bernie Sanders and Jeremy Corbyn.

> Radical leftist rhetoric is very violent these days, and is an interesting read. It is all about overthrowing the capitalist, imperialist "system", getting rid of civil rights, the "dictatorship of the proletariat", and killing those that are the "enemies" of leftists (which can range anywhere from literal Nazis, to "Trump Supporters",to Capitalists, to "liberals" who just support civil rights).

No offense, but your exposure to "leftism" seems pretty new and based on social media. Please do share what you're reading though...

> Finding leftists who publicly call for mass murder is really easy. I mean, just look at all the people who publicly supported that guy who shot up a bunch of republican congressmen.

Do people with their real names do that on twitter (I assume you're talking about twitter)? Or just eggs, like on the far right?

What's really concerning to me is that the white nationalists and neo nazis are out without hoods or masks. They are not afraid of having their pictures taken. They think they can be weekend nazis.

I think people are just using different definitions of poor. The 2017 federal poverty line for a family of 4 is 24k. Some places this wouldn't pay for housing those people. Suggesting that people graduate from poverty at that point is therefore an interesting view.

Most people describing being poor are describing the state of barely scraping by based on current income and costs. Plenty of people are chronically poor by that definition and if support like foodstamps, subsidized housing, subsidized medical care, above the line tax deductions like the EIC were removed you would find that number rising dramatically.

It seems extremely likely that costs will continue to rise while such benefits are slashed and automation destroys a good chunk of employment that keeps people afloat.

More than 12% of people are poor now and more than 30% will be poor in the future.
In Brandenburg v Ohio, Supreme court stated that only speech that is "directed to inciting or producing imminent lawless action and is likely to incite or produce such action" should be punished. This is called Brandenburg paradigm and it's currently a legal standard for what's considered hate speech in US.

As long as my flight is still safer than the drive to the airport I'm not going to automatically reject ideas that could be unsafe in very rare circumstances.
I forget the exact models (I always check seatguru), but some if not most of the 737s.

It's the rear most exit row aisle seat (I've developed some kind of flight anxiety/claustrophobia and medically need the sightline space of the aisle) which can recline, but the ones in front cannot.
I feel like this would have better traction if it also used deep learning and were written in Go or Rust.
The E70/75 could squeeze in more rows of seats without needing another FA, but like I said they're in that strange sweet spot where they're big enough to accommodate more seats but not big enough to make the flight as a whole profitable with the extra seats + mainline crew.

Great to know (knew about the snacks but was never sure if I was allowed to loiter). Thank you!
I've got several (~7?) Yubikeys: one that Mt. Gox sent me several years ago (that would only work with their web site!), an old "Symantec VIP" key, a NEO that's permanently plugged into the keyboard on my workstation, a couple of Nanos (almost always plugged into a pair of laptops), and a couple of the U2F-only ones.

I don't think I've ever had any issues with any of them (there was a "bug" a few years back and they had to "re-issue" some keys) and I really don't have any big complaints other than they're a little expensive (but I keep buying them so apparently not too expensive), just a few minor things.

I've never actually used the U2F ones (browser usage is ~90% Chromium, ~10% Firefox, on Linux exclusively) but maybe I'll get to someday. The NEO and Nanos get used dozens of times a day as my SSH keys (GPG subkeys) are on them. They're also used for unlocking LUKS containers at boot (challenge/response, with a "passphrase"). I do wish it was easier to load (SSL/TLS) certificates on them -- and I wish they held more of them! -- but I have a bunch of physical ("real") smart cards so I just use those instead.

Ideally, I'd be able to put certificates on them and use them to authenticate (Open)VPN clients on both Linux and Windows. That might even be possible today but, if it is, it's likely way more complicated than it should be.

Oh, also I used the VIP and NEO at one point with LastPass and they worked great (but I switched from LastPass when LogMeIn bought them).
Law being described in very precise, verifiable terms, such that "in the spirit of the law" is an executable test and assumptions made are automatically verifiable.
This means that irrelevant laws can be identified much faster and law can keep up with technology.

I love the principle, but I can't use it with AWS, I can't use it with my bank, I can't use it with my domain registrar, and I can't use it with Office 365.

It's an American cultural phenomenon. I've always been intrigued by the origin of it. At some point someone even invented and sold a device to prevent the person in front of you to recline their seat:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knee_Defender

I guess at some point someone popularized the notion that people reclining in front of you is a form of disrespect and it stuck in people's minds. I'm over 6ft tall and I hate coach seats as much as anyone (and living in South America, flying is usually an endeavor taking over 8 hours a pop) but I have never felt that the person reclining in front of me was wronging me in any way.

It might have to do with the usual brevity of domestic flights within the US (also leading to the colorful concept of a "redeye" flight).
Yes that is one of the problems with Make -- /bin/sh is different on different machines, and that information appears nowhere in the Makefile. There's no way to test that the commands you're running will actually work on someone else's machine, other than by "memorizing the manual".

Combining make and shell would mitigate this problem. Then you would need one binary in sync instead of two. Well, I suppose you also need "busybox", e.g. cp, mv, mkdir -p, etc. But in practice I think that is less of an issue than shell and make colliding.

Thanks for the encouragement! (If you didn't catch it I linked these build system observations in a sibling comment: http://www.oilshell.org/blog/2017/05/31.html)

I've played with concatenative languages, and read a lot about Forth. I'm not sure I see them as great for "logic". They are very elegant for certain problems, but fall down for others (IIRC the quadratic formula was a popular example.)

The main kind of logic you need in Makefiles is expressing build variants -- e.g. for debug/release, internationalized builds, coverage builds, profile-directed feedback, running parameterized test suites, etc. I think that can be done fairly well with a Python-like imperative language with dicts and lists. (Some people have mentioned Bazel, and it is derived from Python and works fairly well for that.)
You do realize it was THE NAZIS that "first they came for..." right? You are literally using the oppression that this group levied on other people as a defense for their views. I didn't realize I was on 4chan or Reddit. Are people seriously this detached from history?

I respect free speech. I don't respect absolutist speech. Unfortunately many people (including, apparently yourself) are unable to tell the difference.
He may have been referring to a non-direct flight with an Atlantic route? eg, going Seattle to Chennai will be ~24 hours of travel either via Frankfurt or Dubai.

TL;DR: One man’s “this is fine” is another’s raging house fire.

I use the same spec’d computer as the author, but I regularly quit Slack when I notice my fans spin up or my other apps swapping. Usually the culprit is a GIF in Slack burning 100% of a core or my entire organization’s thousands of channels bloating my working set. Either way, a restart is in order.

I think the fixed-size 100mb RAM cost of a typical Electon app is lamentable, but a non-issue with 16gb RAM + virtual memory + SSD.

Totally agree. My question is, how do you verify the fabs are trustworthy?

Genuinely curious - I'm actually trying to answer this myself at the moment. The best I've come up with is, go to >2 fabs, have them deliver wafers but not saw them, scan and compare the wafers using trusted equipment, then take the wafers back to the fab for sawing.

The last step is the biggest issue; you could be bait-and-switched. Sawing doesn't sound as expensive as actual photolithography/etching kit, but I suspect it would still be prohibitive for most.

Thing is, you could tamper with a small number of chips on the wafer image in such a way that a quick but unlikely interaction with the end device would easily spot the tampered units. Then it would be a simple matter to insert a "picker" into somewhere in the manufacturing/shipping logistics to find the tampered device(s) and reroute them.
They allow download of videos in their apps in selected countries. I don't think you can share the actual files though. But the feature is great.
I also noticed that sentence and if they had left it at "intend to cause violence" I'd have no issues.

This leads to the next question, will they defend antifa if they show up to protest with bricks in their hands? Or is it just guns that are the problem?
