>"And the problem has been completely 100% overblown"

Just the fact that so few replications have been published indicates huge cultural problems. When I did biomed, in my tiny area of expertise there had been 1-2 thousand papers published since the 1980s. Out of these maybe 2-3 were close to direct replications. None of those showed the results were reproducible, but no one cared...

Usually there were "minor differences" in the methods so it resulted in stuff like:
"Protein P has effect E by acting through receptor R in cell line L from animal A of sex S and age Y when in media M".

However if you changed L, A, S, Y, or M apparently totally different things were going on (there were then supposedly dozens of receptors for each ligand, each receptor having dozens of ligands in different circumstances, etc).

In the end I found that E was nearly perfectly correlated with the molecular weight of P (using data from one of the most cited papers on the topic, in which they specifically claimed there was no correlation with any physical properties of the ligands).

So the effect has nothing to do with specific ligand-receptor interactions at all, but no one cared. Situations like this (with few published direct replications, the ones that are published are contradictory, the results are all being misinterpreted anyway, and everyone just continues on their way when problems are pointed out) are totally standard for biomed. The replication aspect of the issue is really only the tip of the iceberg of problems.

> Right, and this is the point where we, as computer system / information security / software (whatever, but) professionals switch to using the word "authentication", and stop being obtuse about the ambiguity in the multiple definitions of the word "identity".

Except it's nonsensical to switch to "authentication" when the discussion is about how the term "identity theft" is misleading. It's not "authentication theft", it's "identity theft", and that is exactly why it is misleading.
Even if we ignore what you call "pixel perfection" (which is actually more significant than that, as without fixed layout it's impossible for example, to lay images where intended, or with an expected proportion with the text), it's simply that some tools (any form of annotation essentially) doesn't make sense on a variable layout.

Of course, EPUB makes sense for allowing reading on a variety of screen sizes/devices, but expecting PDF to disappear ignores important use cases.
It is good to hear that UK banks are apparently no longer shifting liability, but this case, and others, show that banks were shifting liability until it was irrefutably demonstrated that the system was not as secure as they claimed. 'Liability shift' is not a term invented by conspiracy theorists: banks were explicit about this being a primary goal of EMV, so it does not require a leap of faith to accept that it happened. Sadly, neither is a leap of faith required in accepting that the banks' first response to evidence of weaknesses was to deny their exploitability.

Does your statement about UK banks no longer shifting liability apply in cases of fraud against merchants?

> Corporate "jail time" would be indistinguishable from "death penalty" in practice: suspending a corporation's ability to engage in contracts and do business basically means the corporation rapidly falls apart, existing contracts run out or get cancelled, employees don't receive pay checks, etc.

How is this different from when a person goes to jail? They loose their job, house, many future chances for a job. We just don't kill people when they're unprofitable.

Didn't downvote but I figure I should better support it if someone actually cared enough to criticize...

From a trade policy perspective alone we have plenty of supporting evidence among developed countries of self-serving policymaking. Ha-Joon Chang, economist at Cambridge, has written several books criticizing neoclassical economics policies commonly used by both left and right wing policy makers across many developed economies including one literally called "Kicking Away the Ladder" describing how an alarming trend for developing countries to make trade and domestic economic policies that close off tools these countries used themselves to grow their economies. A recent case of not following conventional policies and playing into the hands of the ultra wealthy is Iceland following their real estate collapse and now subsequent rebuilding on their terms as suggested by economist Michael Hudson, another critic of neoclassical economic policies.

Regulatory capture is one of several by-products of cronyism and an oligarchical rather than impartial, equal opportunity system but even in a toy case study in sports there is clear evidence of bias with regulatory experience http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/coep.12240/abstra... If there's policymaking and enforcement bias over time in something with as little consequence as sports but also certainly fiscal motivators (for teams, NHL Commission, etc) it would be strange if our government policies would be exempt from the same human dynamics that is specifically meant by those with hidden information to stay obscure and hidden. But not a whole lot of grant funding out there to investigate corruption exactly, so rigorous academic research on corruption, regulatory capture, and other perversions of capitalist society is sparse, oftentimes difficult to get solid data, and thus difficult to cite in a random Internet comment to the satisfaction of pedantic critics that react to defend any assailment of the much-maligned wealthy.

I'll omit the studies showing those with wealthier backgrounds showing tendencies toward far more loose ideas of lawfulness and fairness compared to the general population.

Also, I wrote it partly tongue-in-cheek in tone responding to a potentially more inflammatory, generalized, presumptuous comment and somehow that was ignored?

> Nowadays, not only do a significant portion of the population not know or care what the difference is, they just use Chrome because "Google" and "the internet" are indistinguishable.

I hear the same is true about Facebook.

Yet both cannot be logically true, and Facebook doesn't make their own browser (though their app does use an embedded version of Chrome).

Imagine seeing "the internet" like a gigantic bubble bath. There's some very large bubbles, like Google, Facebook, and Microsoft till some extend. Many can overlap, touch each other. Some small ones get absorbed in larger ones. Some are more omnipresent than others. But right now, there's still other, smaller ones, and new internet-related startups exist every day (little bubbles). But not all of the small or medium bubbles become large ones.
The source code of whatever software you're using.

Here's some C code I used when I played around with it 5 years ago. No guarantees that it is bug-free or does anything useful (you still need a double sha256 and base58 encoding to get a string representation), but it gives you an idea of the complexity/simplicity.

{
uint8_t buf[32];

These speech recognition tools need to have some sort of authentication:

- How about having a secret "wake word" instead of "Alexa" or "Hey Siri"?
- Only treating signals using human voice range
- Voice identification

If this isn't patched soon (excluding ultrasounds), it could mean that these tools are already using inaudible signals for other purposes. For example, commercials could add ultrasounds to know who's watching them.
Pilot and FA unions have some culpability in this too.

They fought for seniority based pay with rules that any new hire, even one with years of experience, starts at the bottom of the pay scale.

So, there's no incentive to jump ship. You stay where you started. Less competition means the airlines have less incentive to raise pay for more senior crew.

They also fought for extending the mandatory retirement age from 60 to 65. That meant more captains staying in place, holding back promotions for first officers.

Or you can just use a number. Because unlike names, you can assume one thing about individuals in a population and that is that they are countable.

You still just need 33 bits of information to identify any human on the planet, anyway.

I've been encouraging developers around me to make more use of the 'toolkit container' pattern, to make builds easier and more consistent. I noticed that this came with overhead though: some people were manually typing in "docker run.. " incantations, and not always getting it right. Others would set up scripts, or aliases, or Makefiles, or...

stowage is my solution to this. It's a very simple mechanism for creating shell wrappers around docker, in a way that feels like a package manager (such as npm).
Perhaps I worded it poorly, but my intent is not to remove PDF versions from distribution.

I understand the benefits of PDF. My Kindle Voyage does not. If I had a 13" eink display with frontlighting, plenty of storage, the ability to read all my books that I've purchased, in slim profile, with low weight, then I'd love PDFs. But based on what's available and what I'm willing to spend, I've settled on the Voyage, which is perfect for my needs in all respects apart from size. Which means PDF is right out.

Sure. And it's trivial to fool humans if they aren't able to look closely.
I've also worked in an "insane scale" plant and totally relate. I've been in two facilities where it took over 5 weeks to get product through from start to finish. One made big things, one made small things. Literal square footage to store stuff is sometimes the reason you cannot produce more stuff. Some items have 2 month lead times, which really slows down the ability to move fast.

I think most people could look at one aspect and determine a fix for when that isn't working well, but it takes much more to understand how the whole system reacts and how to keep production going reasonably well.
My point is that the poster I was responding to seemed to want something magical, something I don't think is possible.

I am surprised that the article says that moviePass is looking to get a share of beverage revenues from theaters to turn a profit.

I remember when the price drop happened there were articles circulating that MoviePass aimed to make a profit by collecting the data they get from the movie goers. Which makes more sense when you realize that Helios and Matheson Analytics owns a majority share of MoviePass.

And everyone thought SOPA and PIPA were done deals, that is until the great internet SOPA/PIPA blackout day that resulted in so many calls to congress that the congress critters backed down.

If enough voters could be motivated appropriately to contact their congress critters requesting jail time for the Equifax executive staff that clearly did not stress security sufficiently, there would be some change that would occur.

Remember, money (donors) only help the congress critters to pay for the costs of the election. They still have to get those voters to actually vote for them. So there's still a way to influence their viewpoint. It just takes _way_ more than a few handfuls of voters calling/writing to reach the point where they actually pay attention anymore.

This is a cool effect but it looks like it's mechanical: the screen is split into tiny squares which can slide in and out independently. It's not 3D, it's literally tiny screens moving along the z-axis.

The technology behind this is probably quite interesting as the movement has to sync up with the video but I can't watch this without wondering how long it will take for some of the tiny screens to get stuck because of a failed actuator.

It's more of a clever hack of 2D technology than an actual advancement in 3D technology like the title might lead someone to believe.
> The idea is that if you want to create a frequency of "A", you can emit two powerful tones at frequencies "B" and "B+A", where the frequency B is high enough to be out of hearing range. The non-linearity of the microphone means the two tones mix together to produce a number of other frequencies, including the frequency "B-A"-"B" = "A".

Does this work for ears, too?

If so, are the non-linearities of different people's ears similar enough that two people hearing the same A and B would get the same results, or would person to person variations in non-linearity mean they might hear different results?
That's true 95% of the time.

It's actually less about the engines and more about the wings. As altitude increases, the air becomes thinner. That means that wings stall speed increases. At the same time, as the air becomes thinner, the speed of sound decreases - and breaking the sound barrier will break your plane. As you go higher, the stall speed and the speed of sound converge.

The point where they meet is called "coffin corner". It is really not a nice place to be: If you are in coffin corner, if you try to descend, you risk speeding up and breaking the plane. If you try to slow down, you risk stalling - although it is possible to recover from a stall, you cannot recover without speeding up.

It is generally advisable stop climbing before you box yourself in like that.
Emphasis on "to some extent". Relying on it is a bad idea even though it'll keep out most randos.

Speech fingerprinting, much like actual fingerprints, is not a reliable way to establish identity, especially if you want to avoid false negatives as you probably would in mass consumer facing technology.

Not 3D at all, just a bunch of squares randomly popping out, meh.
Very good.

A pet peeve is that it consistently says "sizeof()", like this:

You can use the sizeof() operator to determine how many bytes of memory a certain type uses. (I know, sizeof() looks more like a function than an operator, but there we are.)

BUT: sizeof does not in fact need the parentheses always!

Syntactically they are part of the argument, and only needed when the argument is a type name, i.e. the argument looks like a cast to that type.

So:

int x;
printf("%zu == %zu\n", sizeof x, sizeof (int));

It's very annoying to see the guide kind of glance off the way things really are, into confusion.

Very glad to see it doesn't cast the return value of malloc(), too. :)
This is actually quite eye-opening. Thank you for that.

I'm not selling anything, and you clearly are missing the forest for the trees while making assumptions & assertions about unfamiliar things.

CQRS boils down to a single principle: two one-way roads make for easier road maintenance and improvement that one two-way road.

Two individual channels are too complicated to code? Torturous? Inherently badly designed? Hard to add new features too? Unclean? ... Crazy talk, unsupported by reality. In fact: CQRS specifically addresses all these points you've brought up through its decoupling.

Those kinds of prejudiced assumptions do not hold water, cannot be logically supported by the underlying design nor in-production systems, and reveals only domain ignorance.

Successful engineering around distributed Enterprise systems tells a clear story: those maintenance and improvement concerns are predominant at scale.

Opinions may vary... Informed opinions on this matter do not.
What's the advantage of that? It looks like a lot of effort, especially each time you add it to a new pc.
I actually use this same method manually with git. I have a .theme folder in my home directory, which is a git repository, containing the directories bin and user. The bin directory houses utility and convenience scripts which are tacked on to my PATH while the user directory holds all my relevant dot files. Then, a setup script in the root .theme directory symlinks the relevant dot files from the user directory to $HOME.

The great part is that I can keep branches for each computer which share my configuration. And being that I consistently use Arch, I also employ an install script with my common packages to speed up new installations.

In the end, it shaves a good hour or so off my installation process.

But the "color" books like the Red Book or the Orange Book have other actual names, and people just gave them the "color" name because they were classic references. It's like this one just presumes that it's as important as the others and has to have a classic name.

> the author refers to "harmonics" they are really talking about intermodulation.

No, he's talking about harmonics. It's a different effect from intermodulation. It's true that intermodulation involves the sum and difference two or more frequencies. Harmonics, however, involves integer multiples of a single frequency.

But the impact is the same as intermodulation in that it's really a hardware issue and cannot be countered using a simple frequency filter.
