> While I'm at it, I should also mention the caveat that IPNS won't put an entry into the classic DNS system

True that, but we (I work on IPFS) have support for DNS with IPFS. I guess the best example is the website for IPFS.

ipfs.io resolves to the following TXT record: dnslink=/ipfs/QmPCawMTd7csXKf7QVr2B1QRDZxdPeWxtE4EpkDRYtJWty

Which means the ipfs.io website is built on IPFS and can be accessed via the public gateways:

https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmPCawMTd7csXKf7QVr2B1QRDZxdPeWxtE4EpkD...

But, the dnslink record also means we can resolve ipfs.io via IPNS and get the same hash:

https://ipfs.io/ipns/ipfs.io/

All three links actually resolves to the same content, but in different ways.

A little bit of magic :)
But maybe we have lost something also. As a truly social species, do we not lose as a society when barriers are erected to sociability? The literature certainly points to increased social isolation among adults and children. It also makes the point that loneliness is a risk factor in things like dementia, being overweight and a litany of other ailments. I reject the notion that anything new is automatically better and has only net positive effects.

Mot notably: this has been used as a tactic to get books and comics optioned for films (which will make more money than selling books ever does), and the author is a no-name actor who - surprise! - is angling to play the lead in the film of her #1 bestselling novel.
They have -- this is basically what Stuxnet did. Some of the equation group leaks were even further advanced -- they installed themselves in the hard drive firmware, then hid the sectors where the exploit code was stored even from the BIOS.

So point is, it's been done. That's why the Equation Group malware operated undetected for almost a decade (and maybe longer than that). Never underestimate the power of a government -- they can afford to hire and train an army of Ken Thompsons for the price of an aircraft carrier.
Is this rhetorical?

How can you trust any app that has access to your data?
A hot spare is expensive. I want pure redundancy. That is making a one drive failure into a still perfectly operational server/node/box.

That's what RAID1 usually means.

And sure, you can't survive the next without replacing the failed drive and resyncing.

But the remount read only thing is something different. It's a useful failure mode, but doesn't help with operational simplicity.

(If the SATA cable is loose, the it'll cause intermittent failures, you'll see it in the log, and there will be a lot of resync events. And probably degraded performance, a lot of ATA (or SCSI errors in case of SAS), and other bus/command errors that go away on retry. And with SMART it's possible to at least guess that it's not the drive. It'd be great to have an error notification interface from the kernel and a tool could try to dig into the relevant subsystem's perf and health data to try to guess what's the faulty component exactly.)

I'd also add that virtually the only compelling reason to have a single, large load like a big rig is to minimize the cost of a human driver relative to payload shipped. Without a driver, the optimal load size will likely be much different and will vary more by industry than it does today.

Are BITCOIN Price Will Be Like Gold?
before you understand, i will explain first, I used to trade gold at PT.Equityworld Indonesia, with balance 500,000,000 or about $ 37456, the gold price was 1300 per troy ounce and rose to $ 19xx and is expected to go up $ 2,000, but it does not happen ,, there actually fell to 1,500, Then up again and finally destroyed to 1,100-1,200, the rest of my money inject 300 million rupiah so 800 million just hold 800 points, so the fall of 900 points and in position 3 slots I only hold 266 points, so I lost, and the price of 2-3 Year does not rise anymore, so the cost of stay per lot every day is very high, so it is not possible to return my account

The question is, will the coin bit happen the same thing ?, if it will go down to 1bit coin = $ 1,000, can i know when it will happen? (I will take a sell position at the right time) because I believe the price of gold is not the market price, but only controlled by some people in power ...

Therefore if I can get to know that person, it can change my life if the powerful person is willing to give me some little information ...

I'm crushed in gold trading, I hope the coin bits can raise me back ...

And anyone in here can lend me (0.000xx1 -1bit coin) to 1LpEteWYK7i2mjYRvQwk62fTw3ULwZzrKY , i pay 50% -50% of mining income every month, and I will post revenue and results on facebook (although you can Know it yourself) ..
if you can lend me 1 bitcoin alone, it can change my life from hard to be happy ... (powerful person can change one's life)

But this is only a request, do not because of this I was blocked

Thank you (and dont forget, if you know about price bitcoin information, send to andihermawan168@gmail..
You said "You make the government local, or the local government that eventually forms will rebel. Then it will beat you, because it can react to the local situation more quickly.
You might be able to control the Moon from Earth, but Mars will definitely be self-governing. It's all about the latency." Which sounds like you think distant colonies successfully rebelling is a rule of history that means Mars will inevitably be self-governing. I pointed out that in fact, most colonies did not rebel and only became self-governing in the 1900s it no longer took months or weeks to travel to them.

The Whisky rebellion was essentially an armed tax protest, of the kind that happened fairly often in American history and before independence. Its goal was never to topple the US government or create a separate nation.
Actually, I find the course rather helpful. See, I coasted through undergrad and even some of my MSc on just being smart and doing homework and stuff. Deliberate techniques for studying were never anything I learned, and I sure as hell need them now.
The Python interpreter compiles programs into bytecode first, and the bytecode includes instructions that load a constant from the constant pool. As an example,

>>> def f():
... x = 2222; y=2222
... return x is y
...
>>> f()
True
>>> f.func_code.co_consts
(None, 2222)

This last line is showing the constant pool, which is just a standard Python tuple.

I believe the REPL compiles each input in a new toplevel module context, so each input gets its own constant pool.

Functions get their own constant pools, which explains the following behavior:

>>> if True:
... def f():return 2222
... def g():return 2222
...
>>> f() is g()
False

> [...] provides more protection for the contributor (Facebook) against software patent claims of licensees. It’s odd that a community so opposed to software patents would find this objectionable [...]

While confusion about the license might be behind some or most of the community reaction, the fact that the license refers to litigation over any patent, not just software patents, neutralizes this punchline. Correct me if I'm wrong, but this clause positions Facebook to fight any patent infringement suit with a software patent infringement suit, which is not in the spirit of the opposition to software patents at all.
I suppose. But if you're talking about keeping things simple and not complecting them, but then you go around doing just that... what are you really talking about, you know?
I agree, that's why I revised my answer (see edit). Probably comparison by-value is more useful in higher-level and comparison by reference in lower-level languages.

> In practice, ever-increasing debt absolutely requires ever-increasing growth in order to service it.

No, it only needs increasing growth of the rate of debt growth is accelerating; if it is merely constant debt growth (over the long term), constant (not “ever-increasing”) economic growth allows debt service costs to grow constantly and still have the otput not devoted todeny service grow constantly at the same rate.

> We've so far been lucky, in that the period during which we've used this policy has coincided with the enormous productivity gains that came with the computer revolution.

It's been practice (“policy” is a bit too strong) since Eisenhower. And economic growth was stronger earlier in that period than later. Too the extent that it's been sustainable, it's not due to some unusual economic magic of the “computer revolution”.

> But rearranging our economy so that it's dependent on continual windfalls from external sources merely to stay afloat seems reckless at best.

Even to the extent the computer revolution might be relevant, that's not an external source when discussion the economy. That is a thing that was produced within the economy, and government (deficit-financed) spending played an important role in it.

The article provides a safety checklist for use during the analysis of software requirements for spacecraft and other safety-critical, embedded systems.

Hacker Group Releases Stolen Health Records
Disciplining a kid like they are a dog just feels like a marginal step up from corporal punishment. Instead I believe in a more empathetic approach. I can teach a kid why its dangerous to walk into the street, no so with a dog, which can only learn via positive & negative associations, without understanding or communicating the reason why. A gold fish can be trained to swim through a hoop by giving a treat. A kid has more complex emotions & thought process. Also discipline is not the only principle you want to teach a kid. What about creativity? Self expression? If a 9 year old wants to write his own mine craft mod, I don't care if he is on his ipad at dinner time. Cultural change is inevitable why fight it. My parents gave me electronics kits, knex, lego mindstorms, I was programming at 12yrs old. I grew up a productive member of society. If your kids on their ipad too much maybe delete angry birds & install a math/learning game instead.

> a chunk of memory ... basically just a block of memory

Or, more accurately, a string in C is an array (of integers of a some size which depends on the chosen encoding of characters).

(What is an "array" in C is something of a separate topic. Interestingly, due to alignment, it may or may not be considered "just a block of memory", because it could have gaps inside it, i.e. pieces of memory that do not contain data that belong to the array.)
I wonder if it's feasible to have swappable batteries. Consumers obviously wouldn't pay for that but businesses might.

The bound on string sorting is typically written as O(n log n + D), where D is the sum of distinguishing prefixes, ie input length minus some fluff. Since D >= n log n we already have linearity on input length.

200-300 miles may sound minimal, but it is the sweet spot for day trips like the article mentions. A lot of truck drivers don't want to be on the road away from home for extended periods, and so take jobs that are A->B->A, doable in one day, which works out to about 200-300 miles per leg.

>> So, Slovakian workers are now realizing their current leverage, they might actually receive raises, but soon auto companies will move on.

> Then they actually have no (sustainable) leverage at all.

They kind of have. To go any lower with the wages, the car companies would have go outside of EU - to Serbia or Ukraine, for example. Then, they would be hit by the import duties they themselves lobbied for.

So the workers can ask for such increase, that is still a bit below the costs of having it behind EU borders plus duties.

The trend of the plant operators is currently exactly the other way: they try to import workers from these cheaper countries. Undocumented, of course.
Tesla has demonstrated physically swapping battery packs in cars at least once before. For their demonstration (performance, really), they managed to do it in faster than a gas fill up.

I'd bet they'd work to actually get that production ready for these trucks. Seems like an easier and more useful place to get it working.
This is great -- I never knew about this paper but it reinforces a lot of things I learned. Namely, if you want to know how a company really works, ignore the org charts and map the systems architecture (a corollary to the author's thesis).

About six years ago, I would drive from San Mateo to Oakland at least twice a week, after work, to meet my then-girlfriend. So that's down 92, across the bridge, and up to Oakland. It's about 30 miles, all on freeway, and at that time of day all in heavy (though not all stop-and-go) traffic.

I don't think I ever saw three separate rear-ends in a single drive. I can't say for certain that I ever saw two. I didn't drive it every day, but I probably did 100 such commutes.

You sound either like you're massively exaggerating or live someplace with apocalyptic traffic.
I really liked the blog post and was interested to see the end results but...

> I hope to publish another blog post describing [speculative parsing] thoroughly, along with details on the performance improvements this feature would bring.

Isn't there any preliminary results on the perf improvements this would bring?

I understand that the % of time when the speculative parsing succeeds (instead of having to roll back to a sequential parsing) can't be know easily, since it'll be based on the testing of a large number of real-world web pages,

but I'd love to see just 2 simple examples:

* One full of `document.write`, so we can have an idea of the time lost in case of failed speculation

* One 'embarrassingly parallel' dom tree where the speculation should pay off the most.

That would give us a good idea of worst case / best case results.

The course emphasizes how memory works, you would think that to remember things you have to write the information well-enough in it so it sticks. But in reality, the information has been there the first time around the issue for the brain is finding the information like locating a product in a large warehouse.

It is the process of recall that makes things stick to memory as opposed to repeated memorization. Working on several subjects at a time spaces out sessions and prevents the illusion that you have access to the knowledge you worked for when in fact you don't.

There is always the chance that as we get better at this stuff we'll start to find it creepy that it's so realistic (either due to the uncanny valley or because we crossed the valley) and we'll start to prefer devices that act robotic even though we know we could make the indistinguishable.

I'm trying to think of another example. I know I've heard a good one with Roombas but I can't remember it.

Basically we may try to avoid a Bladerunner situation where we're not sure when we are or aren't talking to a real person and prefer the 'computery' voices.
Yes and no. Cost of fuel is also a big factor. A big rig is typically running about 6 MPG, and for lighter loads that doesn't change very much if you're hauling a half-size or full-size container. Sending two trucks means burning twice as much fuel, which could easily be hundreds of dollars.

But definitely that's less of a factor with an electric truck since the charging cost will be a lot lower than a comparable amount of fuel.
For the typical (certainly US) driver, the initial training is just to get to a minimally viable set of skills so they can pass their driving test. The vast majority of people aren't taking performance driving courses to get their drivers licenses. I'd pretty much guarantee that almost every driver is more skilled 10 years after they get their license.

> So I was assuming the desired functionality was to be able to include the same image several times on the same page where each image has a different stroke/fill colour (like you might do with the Font Awesome icon font).

That wasn't my assumption, I was just seeing if it could be done, rather than if you might want to. That thought would make this method impractical, though there may be a way around that.

> To do it in the way you suggest would mean a different SVG file with the CSS file modified for each one?

Not necessarily. CSS cascades, and SVG can embed SVG. (Edit: I'm not actually sure about the browser support here. Do nested SVGs get to inherit from each other? Is that the same for all browsers? It'd require a bit of experimentation.)

So potentially, you could have a wrapper document that sets an ID or class that corresponds to how you want to change it, and then your base image linked within the wrapper.

The base image would cache, as would the base CSS file, however you could still apply changes.

A bit clumsy, but still allows you to avoid JS or in-lining, if that is what you want.

Of course, the wrapper won't cache, but it should be a very, very small overhead.

You could argue that in the "oh shit" scenarios for a car, the proper action is to always stop. Most human drivers will instinctively stomp on the brakes if they see anything they're not expecting, and this is pretty much what today's autonomous software does.

Recovering from the "oh shit" scenario is the difficult part, but human pilots often can't recover, after all it makes little sense to try and fix an engine on fire while flying, instead opting to land.
