No one would have objected to a comment like: "One school of philosophy holds that thinking is inherently linguistic, so in that sense animals probably can't think."

People are objecting to the unsubstantiated, doctrinaire, insistence on this very narrow definition to the exclusion of all others, including the ones used by people who research animal cognition for a living.

I don't see why anyone should exclusively care what Descartes has to say about it when we have an additional 400 years of science after his death that suggests he didn't have the whole picture.
I use Keepass with Dropbox. Keepass keeps the DB file secure with encryption and many rotations, so I'm not afraid of a brute-force on the file itself. It takes 500ms on my beefy desktop to unlock the DB, and almost 3 seconds on my macbook.

Most services are tied to my email, so I have both 2factor auth AND recovery codes that I have stored in a safe place. Additionally I have the Keepass password written down in a safe (separate) place just in case. This is my backup in case I lose access to my Keepass db.

As one last bit, I have Keepass to auto-lock after a bit of inactivity, so I'm constantly retyping that password. This helps me memorize it.

In many ways this keeps me safer. I stay logged out of most websites by default. It can also protect me against terrible password policies. For example, I once had a bank that limited passwords to 8 characters. I had Keepass remind me to generate and rotate that password every quarter just in case. When Heartbleed dropped, I marked all my passwords in red and only changed them back when I updated that website password.
As has been mentioned elsewhere, why would they beg when they have FU money and can buy Lambos.

They can honestly say that Storj lead developer left of personal reasons and no one else can take over.

There is no obligation on their part to pay anything back.

Like the author I have been following crypto currencies (and doing small time mining) since 2011. I have seen several boom-crash cycles.

Greed appears to me to be fundamentally intrinsic to human behavior and culture. I don't think it's realistic to try to get rid of it. Rather I think it would be more effective to use it as an incentive and actively limit its negative externalities.
"> My impression is that INRIA is too eager to add features and tweak the language.

"That's strange. I've always had the opposite impression - that they maintain compatibility at all costs, including leaving sub-optimal APIs in the standard library."

When I started using OCaml, many standard library functions weren't tail recursive---you couldn't get the length of a list with more than ~10,000 elements, for example. The library definitely seems like an afterthought compared with the language. (And that would be why there are so many of them.)
> the present U.S. administration openly supports racist, neo-Nazi, White Supremecist, and similar organisations

I try not to follow what the guy says too closely, but do you have any source for this? The last thing on the topic I recall him saying was a repudiation of said groups.

I feel like I would've heard about it if he openly supported any of these groups.
Sorry about that! I just updated the font-weight and colors. There should be more contrast now.
My impression is that it has accelerated if anything. Random teams are raising 5-10m$ daily, and people who missed out on the first wave a few months ago are now gearing up to be a part of the second wave.

A good overview of the amount of these things is here: https://www.icoalert.com/

Not all of them will raise successfully, but the percentage is way higher than you would expect. Not to mention some of the longer ongoing sales, such as EOS, with 200m+$ raises. Either way, it's still quite insane out there.

I'm not talking about the kinds of invariants that require an undecidable type system to formalize, but about the most simple things. "Any value passed to this function can be iterated over." "This sequence of checks is exhaustive." "Calling this function with these arguments won't throw an exception."

Those tend to be the mistakes I make when programming interactively in Python. Forgetting to put a single value into a one-element list. Forgetting to check for None. Misspelling a key in a dictionary. Swapping the order of two arguments in a function call.

Yes, in some cases those properties can only be verified by proving some invariant equivalent to the Collatz conjecture. I'd conjecture that most instances could still be solved by an appropriate type system. I'm not too worried if it can't prevent me from invalidating invariants, so long as it can prevent me from making simple mistakes that are obvious in retrospect.

Thoughts on the Bitcoin Hard Fork
Perhaps, though the idea that if nobody squatted the domain would be there waiting for you isn't always true either.

There are a ton of good, not for sale, but underused, domains. Ones that are tied up with people that had intentions to use it, but never did. But, they still have the emotional attachment, and typically won't sell.

A few things:

* Veganism isn't about health[1]. It's about avoiding exploitation of other sentient and intelligent beings and reducing suffering on many levels.

* The difference between us and other animals is that we have the ability of critical thinking. We can change our attitude and mind when presented with new information. A lion can't do this (also, a lion needs meat to survive, modern humans don't).

There is a great quote by Aaron Swartz[2] and in that vein I encourage you to watch the videos that were posted in this thread - you might be surprised.

[1] "Veganism is a way of living which seeks to exclude, as far as is possible and practicable, all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose.[...]"

[2] “Think deeply about things. Don’t just go along because that’s the way things are or that’s what your friends say. Consider the effects, consider the alternatives, but most importantly, just think.”

Hold on. That article says that Trump claimed there was "blame on both sides", followed by open repudiation of neo-Nazis and the KKK as "criminals and thugs". I'm not being intentionally obtuse: failure to condemn neo-Nazis and white supremacists is a pretty huge failing for a president (though no worse than what I expect of Donald Trump), and those who condemned his remarks were absolutely right.

But words have meaning, and calling this "open support" is flat lying. He's unbelievably terrible at the job of president and human being: you don't need to lie in order to make the case that he is.

Just because your bubble (and my own) consists entirely of people who are aware of how terrible he is doesn't mean everyone is, and lying for political reasons is exactly the kind of thing that makes big chunks of the country inhabit alternate realities where all news is fake and the notion of a fact disappears from political discourse. You should be ashamed of yourself.

Honestly, I think libraries are great, if they improve on existing solutions and actually bring something new. Don't try and stop innovation just for the sake of having to make less decisions.

Moon's purpose is to provide an API similar to Vue, while being less than half of the size, and having improved performance in most cases. Why try and stop something new without giving any valid criticism? If we all have a mindset like this, the web isn't going to ever improve.

That's a good question. Sorry that I didn't answer it in my original comment.

Self-employment comes with personal financial risk, but the reason for their lower national insurance contributions (NIC) is to do with pensions. The UK chancellor this year:

> Historically, the differences in NICs between those in employment and the self-employed reflected differences in state pensions and contributory welfare benefits.

Self-employed people are more unlikely to have a pension, and the state pension is about £7,000 per year.

In contrast to this, people who are employed have access to a workplace pension, where an employer must contribute to the employee's pension. The average teacher will have a workplace pension of £25,000 per year.

So, the idea behind the reduced NIC for self-employed people is that they'll put the money into their savings / personal pension. If you're self-employed and adding 3% of your income into your pension each year, then the 3% savings on NIC would be the government enabling you (as your own employer) to 'match' your own annual pension contribution.

Indicators of your company's financial health for employees
The issue with your last sentence is that you're confusing thinking with the ability to have higher order reasoning skills. Animals most assuredly think. It's a matter of orders of magnitude difference, not a fundamental difference. Just as a genius thinks in a way that is far superior to a simpleton. Both think. For some reason we've got it in our collective heads that because your cat can't sit at the table and have coffee with you that it's ok to destroy it in gruesome and horrible ways and somehow because it "doesn't think" that nothing bad is going on. Does the animal not feel pain? How do I know that you feel pain? Because you say it? How is that fundamentally different than the whimpers and cries and reaction of a different animal?
I've been looking for something like this. Massif makes it look like my code is reasonably healthy. HeapTrack shows I'm doing absurd number of small heap allocations.
I'm confused why varnish wouldn't work.

That's not a technical problem, especially because every blockchain proposal for financial institutions is centralized. Until you hit competitive transaction throughput on a blockchain while retaining its decentralized features, it doesn't really free you from being at the whims of other parties. There is no proof of work or proof of stake system that solves this yet.
A place I once worked had their servers in-house. They had UPS on the roof, duel everything (fibre links etc). Apparently there wasn't a single point of failure in the system.

One day, the servers just vanish. We go into the server room to check. Someone had plugged all the machines into the same multi box / power extension cable and the fuse in it had popped.

Sometimes all your planning can be undone - especially once humans are involved :-)
Yes, and that is because Vue uses hyperscript. This allows you to use JSX, but at the same time makes a render function slower. Since Moon's virtual DOM syntax is stricter, it allows for the compiler to make lots of optimizations.
KeePassX has been on my radar. I think I gravitated towards Enpass because the UI is more similar to 1Password.

I originally used lastpass years ago and I tried it again recently and hate it. I didn't try the cli, though. That would certainly be a better option than dealing with their horrible web app.
What you can do, which pi-hole does, is modify your local hosts file and redirect ad URLs to 0.0.0.0. I just set it up that way, just as simple if not easier.
Just to give some context first: I work in a small remote-first company, and some people are in different time zones (or even travel between time zones).

I totally agree that this can overcome if you "just talk to each other" (or in the remote/online sense, update your calendar or post a message on slack).

The problem however I see is when communication is broken, which happens too often in my experience. The "Sorry, I woke up late", or "Sorry, I forgot to update the calendar" after-the-fact communication irks me personally and hurts collaboration. Perhaps I'm wrong, but my perception is that a lot of people associate flexibility with lack of accountability ("I'm flexible, I'll just take a break right now, and I don't need to tell anyone, because, well, we're all flexible").

To summarise, I would say that clearly-communicated flexibility works great. But it's an essential prerequisite for it working.
Which one is that, because I know at least as many anti-science hippies as I do religious nuts.
Only if it is a winner takes all industry, and only if nothing bad happens before they go out of business.

Lots of industries have clients that actually care about the robustness of their service providers as well; if in the future, once something invariably does go wrong, you have effectively just signed your own death warrant if you can't recover quickly enough.
> I'll move twice as fast and put them out of business before their plan can matter.

Yes, maybe. Or you'll be put out of business because you did not have a plan.

You could attempt to justify your stance by saying that in the growth phase of the company nothing else matters but the reality is that you can't really retro-fit the attitude and set-up that your future company will require once you get there if you didn't do this from the beginning.

See, you can overdo anything, including security and contingency planning. But that isn't what this is about. It's about knowing that you are taking a conscious risk, knowing what the consequences could be and knowing that if those risks do materialize what you will do.

If some of those paths end with 'game over' then so be it. But there is no excuse for not knowing and it is exactly those things that you did not know about that will kill you.

So much good luck with moving twice as fast, headlong into a wall that you could have seen coming.
That's Dickens, not Shakespeare! Your monkeys are going in the wrong direction.

I guess that's where a bit of "static type" would make it easier. Different framework could explicitely back themselves against an API. With js, it's all implicit.

Regular old fission power and ion engines.
Oh, they had the whole line. UPS in the server room, with batteries and diesel engine outside. Tested quarterly, I was told. In server room batteries did their job, but the stuff outside didn't. Took 4 hours to restore power and another 32 hours to restart the servers and verify their data.

[edit: about the site visit calling me paranoid] I was a bit ticked off, but I guess someone who didn't even do the basics, as we later found out, would not get the need.
Optimal cost for strengthening or destroying a given network
The author has a point that I generally agree with, but note that PHP, JavaScript and Basic all went through a phase of revision that made them more 'CS conformal', removing some notable corner cases in how they worked.

Farewell, VCenter Server for Windows
> Apparently there wasn't a single point of failure in the system.

Redundant power supplies on alternate phases is a pretty common element in designing any kind of server setup. So this wasn't a setup with a 'single point of failure', it was a setup with a very explicit single point of failure (several, in fact).

Someone linked to this excellent slide deck yesterday:

https://c3.nasa.gov/dashlink/static/media/other/ObservedFail...

Worth an hour of your time, not to make you paranoid but more to make it plain how hard this sort of planning really is.
I remember a data center that supposedly had dual fibre links to the outside. Found out later (after someone cut the fibre) that they actually linked back up just outside of town. I understand lawyers were needed.

It's not necessary for data systems to belong to governments, or for them to be accessed by the local government jurisdiction.

For examples of each:

AT&T maintain call-level history of its subscribers dating to the 1980s, which has been provided to the US DEA.

Google have disclosed information to both Chinese and Russian nationals, through extralegal, non-discretionary disclosures. The first occured when the accounts of Chinese nationals involved in the Free Tibet movement were hacked. The latter when an email account belonging to Hillary Clinton's campaign chairman, John Podesta, was hacked by parties strongly linked to the present Russian government.

"You can't disclose what you don't have" is a well-established principle of data security. You'll find variants of it offered by Gene Spafford, Bruce Schneier, Eben Moglen, Cory Doctorow, and others. Or in the alternative, "data are vulnerability".

Think about a wave on a lake. It may appear to be moving in time. The water particles certainly move up and down. But if nothing is in it's "path" is the wave really moving? It's actually just there, the wave undulates and that creates the perception of motion, but really the thing you see moving is just a visual effect on the surface of a field the size of the entire lake. A field which is not moving at all.

Photons are similar. You see the peak of the wave moving around, but the wave itself is everywhere and eternal... until other forces get involved anyway.
I could attempt to justify my stance? Thanks, jacquesm, you are truly magnanimous.

To be clear, I'm saying that no risk outweighs slow growth in a high growth industry. Nothing is more likely to kill your business than standing still. So I'll enjoy hurtling towards walls, and shoot for nine nines after securing funding over my competitor, etc.
I'm not near a rulebook, but for the CoD version of the rules, all of those will generate paradox, though you get a bonus to managing it if you have the illusion roll.

You're criticizing a stylistic choice to have the rules here be "whatever the GM thinks is reasonable" which is a valid, if fuzzy and imprecise rules choice.
I find this issue very conflicting.

On one hand, I disagree with the current governors assertion that the program is a failure. Change in standardized test scores seems like the wrong metric.

Kids need to use computers because it's a societal standard. Low income students may not have access at home and gaining familiarity is crucial. It's a form of literacy.

On the other hand, I've seen tech become the tail that wags the dog in schools. In my home school district, there was a huge purchase of Smart Boards. A year later, they were universally used solely as projector screens.

Very interested to see the comments evolve here so I can hear others' experience with edtech.
