A Japanese friend tells me the blue is in reference to the 'Mongolian blue spot'[0] that most Asian, Pacific, Native and African American babies tend to have....

Basically bodies with lots of melanin in them; it's a cluster of melanin at the lower back, sometimes mistaken for a bruise by carers unfamiliar with the phenomenon.

EDIT: Oh, it's mentioned in the wiki article:

> The Mongolian spot is referred to in the Japanese idiom shiri ga aoi (尻が青い), meaning "to have a blue butt", which is a reference to immaturity or inexperience.

It's funny how you try to spin this around and claim that it's me who lives in an echo chamber, not the extreme-leftist mass media and SJW 'science'.

So it's okay from your point of view that major news outlets, such as Bloomberg TV, switch into propaganda mode and start making anti-factual claims, such as 'there is no research to support the idea that there are biological causes for the lack of women in tech' [1]. It might be too much to expect commercial media to be objective, but outright fabricating facts is nothing less than betrayal of everything journalism stands for.

Is that a singular case of leftist propaganda? Far from it. If you took a look at Google News the week this story was hot, you'd see your run-of-the-mill articles that open by twisting facts in the title. E.g., 'Anti-diversity manifesto' was apparently considered a mild way to describe it [2]. Some of them proceeded to make false claims, e.g. that Damore was "criticizing the company’s efforts to increase diversity" (no he was not, he considers diversity a good thing and suggests better ways to increase it) or arguing that Google "should stop offering programs to minorities and women" (he was only discussing racist and sexist programs, not _all_ programs) [3].

As to 'fake news' - I take it you're trying to paint me as a Trump supporter. So let me tell you I'm not one, and I didn't even know what that was all about (as I never bothered with US mainstream media before) before it hit me where it hurts with the Damore story. Now I don't know how much pro-Trump media twisted facts, maybe it was the same. All I know is I was shocked to find the mainstream US media to be so ideologically charged as to attack a guy for his [very mild and well-substantiated] opinions with forged facts and labels. Because I know that guy could have been me.

In summary, you, together with the mainstream US culture, need to pop your own obvious, well-documented and plainly visible ideological bubble before you start making claims that people with true liberal, pro-science, pluralistic views like myself are in one.

If a sneaky household member went and wiped the phone to install those new keys, would the real user not notice that all their data is gone?

The function "replace keys" can have any other programmable feature attached to it. Wiping out all preexisting data, reseting the phone to factory settings, and sending a message to the original owner is all possible and would make any sneaky behavior very un-sneaky. They could even require some form of 2auth or other technique that people use to authorize themselves to banks in order to get the unit-unique key to make the TPM memory rewritable. GPLv3 don't require that installing new keys are easy, but the real owner must have a method to do it.

It is relevant because there is more to violence than merely physically harming people. Forcing people to use script money when it's not legal is a form of violence, even if they can leave town. Forcing curfew is a form of violence. Refusing to pay workers for work that isn't related directly to profit, but to workers' safety is a form of violence and endangerment, even though it's the miner that still decides he needs that job so much it's worth taking the risk.

Once you've piled up all these kinds of domination schemes, it becomes hard for the owner to actually discern the difference between all of this and physical violence ; it is also a process of dehumanization that makes it much harder to consider the workers deserve safety. Therefore, violence that goes as far as deportation, mutilation or death becomes acceptable.

My point being, there is no instance of unfettered relations of power that don't end up like that.

I believe there's a large corpus of work on the various areas involved here, if you want a specific precision, I can try to find relevant infos.
> The reverse isn't true. You can't make a page out of just JavaScript. Even if JS builds your DOM and builds the styles for it (because hey, crazy people have crazy ideas) the DOM and styles are still HTML + CSS. You still need to know what the JS should build.

Not exactly true. Some frameworks (like DHTMLX) allows one to generate forms, pages, images and even complex UI layouts with just code and without a single line of html or css.

Depends whether you are aiming to conceal the fact that a signal is being transmitted or whether you "merely" wish to conceal the contents of those signals. The latter is (as I am sure any NH reader knows all too well) achieved my means of encryption, at least some of which, paranoia aside, is widely regarded to be pretty solidly robust to just about anything known (even most of the NSA-quantum-computer speculation is focussed on public key cryptography being attacked by factorisation attacks... lattice algorithms and lots of stream ciphers are not directly attackable by this means if the session key is not exchanged by "potentially vulnerable" public key cryptographic means).

There are a lot of things that have the same names as other things.

In my experience, yes: as soon as I willed myself to move my head, the sound disappeared. But unlike these people are reporting, it never reappeared in the same session. Nor did it have a "structure" in space: it just happened when I regained consciousness.
Although maybe it's very unlikely you could be on to something. I used to have many experiences like this when I was younger (sounds like you're talking about sleep paralysis) and I remember loud buzzing when I also took some medication to help me relax.

When I was in this state I had vivid hallucinations and it often felt like sound was louder. I posted here about hearing my bad phone charger, and I've actually had an experience of sleep paralysis coupled with that once which made it sound louder than it really was in reality.

Once electric vehicles become more prevalent than gas-powered vehicles, imagine the affect on the city and its noise levels. A place like NYC where these trucks will be tested seems to be defined by the "hustle-and-bustle" and the noise/sound of vehicular movement is part of that. I wonder what the overall affect on noise of the city will be: you can hear more birds than you thought existed in the city? You no longer are begrudgingly awoken by the garbage truck in the early morning. What are the positive and negative results of reduced vehicle noise?
Referencing an old RadioLab podcast "Why isn't the Sky Blue." http://www.radiolab.org/story/211213-sky-isnt-blue/

That podcast states that Homer never used the color blue. As somewhat of a dead language linguist that still sits in the back of my head all the time. I am not 100% sold nor 50% sold on the idea that colors are seen only when they are defined BUT....

This article states -

> In that regard, blue—one of the four traditional colors originally established in the Japanese language along with red, black and white—historically encompassed items that other cultures would describe as green—creating the concept of “grue,” the portmanteau of blue and green first coined by philosopher Nelson Goodman in 1955. Indeed, a distinct word for green is a relatively recent development in Japanese, only coming into existence in the late Heian Period (794-1185)
Anyone get reminded of Jack Thompson?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Thompson_(activist)

He was active in the 1980's campaigning against obscenity and violence in video games and movies. He got disbarred for lying about things... and it turns out that pretty much everything he said was disproven.

i.e. there's no correlation between fake violence and real violence.

Anyone else reminded of the current hysteria around "sexist games are making us sexist?" Which has a similar level of scientific support. i.e. none.
The regex they have for identifying fake/harmful packages is wrong.

`pip list –format=legacy | egrep '^(acqusition|apidev-coop|bzip|crypt|django-server|pwd|setup-tools|telnet|urlib3|urllib) '`

This incorrectly lists `urllib3` or the `cryptography` package for example, which are perfectly valid packages.

>A hiring manager in the prime market might legitimately perceive there as being a shortage, even when receiving dozens or hundreds of resumes because the vast majority of those resumes are simply not qualified.

I was unemployed last winter into spring. I had job experience on my resume, as an embedded firmware developer. No company doing embedded wanted to hire me, because I'd worked on a small variety of fairly specific boards. No company doing non-embedded wanted to hire me, because I lacked substantial web-dev experience. I thus went from a six-figure year to depressingly continual unemployment.

I have a job now, but at a reduced salary because, well, I have to be the junior to do webdev (a friend helped me out).

Really seems to me like there's no shortage, and salaries are not skyrocketing. Nothing's gotten expensive enough that anyone's considered hiring people without exact skill combinations, but who otherwise have solid records.

They can simply use the same automated message they use for people who are not even invited to interview. At least candidates can move on. I can't see how someone could take action for being rejected in a non-specific way.

I have invested time/energy on their interviewing process, why can't they spend a few seconds copying and pasting a canned response letting me know I didn't make it?

It's funny because it probably takes more time for them to open emails or ignore Skype messages than to simply let me know.

This is the question of whether free software licenses without patent granting clauses have an "implicit patent license", and from what I can tell it's not clear cut.

It's worth pointing out that in China, QWERTY with pinyin (Latin characters representing pronunciation with an IME mapping it to Chinese) is the most popular input method.

Japanese similarly is primarily done with QWERTY and an IME. Other layouts do exist but they're not very common.

Chinese input is quite varied though. Taiwan uses Zhuyin (or bopomofo) which is a phonetic alternative that doesn't use Latin. Hong Kong, Cantonese, and/or misc. types of Chinese may use other methods like Cangjie (which does use a QWERTY layout). Cangjie is notable for not being phonetic at all -- likely similar to the typewriter input methods mentioned in the article. Words are typed as ordered sequences of pseudo-radicals (pieces of Chinese characters) that are memorized by their associations to Latin letters and color[0].

Although there's no real reason either Japanese or pinyin IMEs should have to use QWERTY -- in fact it's likely quite suboptimal as neither make use of all the keys, or at least not as a primary function (many IMEs are configurable and/or allow non-standard characters to map to more complex sequences of input). I personally use both through Dvorak (which, being optimized for English, is similarly suboptimal).

As for voice input, Chinese is easier than Japanese because of the larger phonetic inventory and use of tones to form minimal pairs. Although the different types of Chinese (regional dialects (as opposed to different Chinese languages)) and their variations in pronunciation complicate things. Japanese does have pitch accent, but it's not really consistent across Japan, so I don't know how helpful it would actually be for a voice recognition system.

Purely from personal experience, I can rarely get Japanese voice recognition to work if trying to search for a word in isolation. It's quite good with sentences though. This might just be an artifact of my poor pronunciation though.

I think typing in general, as it is now, is pretty primitive and has a lot of room to be improved. I've been tempted to try to make some new, and possibly more efficient, input methods, but haven't been able to justify giving any a try yet. I do think even an IME at the level of what currently exists in Chinese and Japanese would be wonderful to have for English though. Intelligent auto-complete, shortcuts, semantically aware insertion of unicode (Emoji are actually natural to use in IME-using languages; just type what you want and select the emoji that pops up).
