Can you rephrase what you said? Whenever I see "devout cult of sheltered sexists" in a post, I immediately stop reading and move on. Those terms are meaningless to those who don't subscribe to the groupthink that you mentioned.
Well sure, but that's not what anyone means by those words.
Is there a name for the phenomenon of companies building themselves a headquarters right as they begin to fail? I've heard that idea before, but haven't been able to find either a name for it, or any data on it.
Yes, because atmospheric density at the surface of Venus is 67 kg/m^3m, about 55 times as dense as sea level atmosphere on Earth:

The sample they showed did not look like any of the standard .NET languages, so I wonder if they are going with a standalone language. AFAIK most quantum programming languages are actually embedded into another language (C, Haskell, ML) so if they actually implemented a standalone language, that would be interesting. Not sure what the file extension means.
I think it's funny that you chose hover boards. I haven't seen one in use in any major US city I've visited this year. I'm sure some people still use them, but thanks to terrible Chinese engineering that caused fires and failures, I don't know anyone that's bought one after the first couple of months that they were a fad.
"Selecting the best applicants possible"

I predict stunning success, based on this sentence alone.

That said - I think that providing help for people who are already doing well is nice, but it doesn't really support the real goal of public education: educating (all of) the public.

Unless you're thinking that this will be a great for-profit biz, with the most successfully students+parents most able to pay top dollar for this?

In which case - yeah, you've got a solid idea. It's essentially the same as idea as going to Harvard/Yale/Cornell/etc. If you can get a good round of 'seed families' (students+already successful parents) it just might work.
Why is it required for getting a job?
The article is all right but for newbies reading it; be a little careful. The author is sloppy with terminology in a way that can trip up someone who is just learning. An example being that a Kernel and a Filter are not the same thing.
Why can't steganography be used on top on the Chinese government endorsed app (WeChat)?

It wouldn't have to use images, it could use any data in the system or even spread it amount mutilple apps within WeChat.

By the way, a couple suggestions if you haven't used WeChat:

1) There is a really nice, canonical one pager out there for explaining WeChat to Americans, I highly recommended it.

2) Its important to note that WeChat despite its name, is miles away from being a simple chat app. It's an entire platform, almost OS like, complete with its own apps within an app. Their platform is incredibly rich, to the point that any significant business has some services available or at least a presence.

Before going to China on business I hadn't heard much about it, and only knew it existed because of some Chinese friends. However if you are planning a trip to China, go ahead an install it now because it's ubiquitous.

There is an English version and last time I checked it was reasonably up to date, although seemed to be missing a few features.
To take the analogy a bit further with the boiling frogs, the frogs jumped out of the water, until Goltz removed the brains from the frogs.

So, how does that relate to China? Well, if they still have brains, they will reach a tipping point as the water warms. More closely, so long as they have access to information (I think) they will eventually decide that enough is enough.

So, then the question is do they have enough information? Do they have enough freedom to communicate with each other?

It's hard to say. I've been to China and I think the answer is actually an affirmative. They have plenty of information. They all know about the GFW, the censorship, and how it is different than the West. They don't appear to be under any illusions.

I've spoken, in person, with multiple people in China and they all know those things, as well as being up to date with their current local and national politics. It's hard to describe, but they just seem to accept it. I don't want to say they see it as a good thing, but they all pretty much say that it is for the national harmony.

They know about Tianamen square. They even have a special word for censorship - river crab, though I forget the reason. They know about the death penalties. They know about the corruption of local and national politicians. They seem to be as aware of their politics as much as we are aware of our own, maybe even more so.

It's a different mentality, I guess? They accept it and think it helps promote social harmony. It wasn't easy, and still isn't, for me to get my head around.
A well designed mixer would not be so easy to detect. In a perfect world, you'd have matching clients all the time, and the only contamination is the fee being siphoned off. If the fee is managed well it could be very difficult to determine coins that went or came from the mixer.

In reality, you probably need to batch a few customers together: 10 customers putting in 1 BTC, 1 customer putting in 10. But these don't need to be long-lived groups, if the mixer has the volume. So "their address" would only be the same for a few customers. An attacker would need to constantly make transactions to determine the addresses involved.

Most mixers give you completely "clean coins": That is there's no transaction chain from your inputs to your outputs. So they are probably doing some sort of system similar to what I describe.
Hi Jakob – thank you – we're thrilled to hear that!

We, at Peergrade, strongly believe that there's a lot to be gained if students share more of their experience (knowledge gained, questions, struggles) when engaging with the class material. Through sharing those learning experiences students will learn faster and our aspiration is that Peergrade will be the facilitator of exactly that sharing and improved learning.
Yes. This one.

Yeah that's disgusting.
Are you using webrtc for client to server communication? or just for client to client? if the former, what library did you use on the server?

I've made lots of small browser games but haven't tried in the last few years. Websockets have never scaled well for the obvious reason that over bad connections data gets blocked up!

I don't understand what to do on your game, and the UI needs work. You're obviously very good at the physics/networking side of things, but maybe get some help on the UI :D I played for 10 seconds then had to close it

Something I don't see on the list:

Homeschooling related startups

Big companies can be a unique resource for small, independent operations. In k-12 education, some of the smallest and most independent are homeschooling families.

They need to comply with state laws. They sometimes need to accommodate 2xe students. They need to prove their children actually received an education.

There are no doubt other areas where they could use help. This is often done currently via free websites, free email lists, etc. There is a homeschoolers legal aid group or something. I was a member when I was homeschooling. So, there are some supports already, but it tends to be pretty sparse and a lot is local, homegrown.
Or reading the comments. I wrote https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15332868 precisely to prevent that mistake from happening.
I'm not opposed to it because its MS or because I fear for my privacy. As a purchaser of a product, I don't want to enlist my compute resources to collect information that is of value to the seller - for free. I have already paid my dues, so to speak. Of course, in theory,I could benefit from the telemetry. But that should be my choice, and at the bare minimum, I should have some assurance that any telemetry information I provide, isn't used to simply make me purchase a new product, but to improve the existing product.

"Some" being the key-word there. I wonder how it'll go if it were put down to a referendum on that one, singular issue. Without politics, parties, and candidates to muddy the water.
Yes. At 4$/hr these instances are truly mind blowing.

BUT

With only 2TB of local storage, your 4TB dataset (or output set) has to pass over the net for every execution.
At 10Gbs - this alone can take 20 minutes to 1hr.

If you want to write it to the local SSD - multiply that by x3 or x10 ?! ....

This 4TB of memory is still bounded by 4 x 30MB of L3 cache. Which means your single thread implementation will be slowed down by x3 or x5 due to memory latency.

Your multi core implementation will probably suffer even more.

Distributed system are VERY hard, but dealing with them is inevitable for certain workloads.
when you look at the example, there was also a teleport.g.cs file which looks like a standard #C file, but possibly auto-generated(?) What do you think?
It gives rise to possible corruption, like local corporate influences to block international competition.
Subject the Moto Z2 Force to the exact same test to which you subjected the iPhone 8 and Samsung Galaxy Note 8 and then report the findings. As it is this is completely disingenuous.

True, and I wouldn't put it past them, but I know of no current legal mechanism for that. Emphasis on legal, of course.

It does make me wonder what they'd use for justification - prior to the current administration. The current administration would just use nationalism and protectionism, I'd think. I'm not sure how the previous administration would have framed it in order to make it politically feasible.
Isn't that typically only done on the smaller tractors?
I should add that Monero doesn't use mixing in the same sense. The ring size works so that you cannot see which of the different choices is the correct output until spent. This is different from having the participants swap coins as you do when mixing. The ring size isn't directly comparable to the number of mixing participants or mixing rounds as the former isn't susceptible to blockchain analysis. You can only make probabilistic guesses or IP tracing.

There is no "official" recommendation of how to securely launder coins in Monero. What you can do is to send the coins to yourself a number of times using the default ringsize or "churning".
Pushing Open-Source Forward with Cryptocurrency Bounties
An alternative to your alternative is the possibility that China is going to have to keep narrowing the area of permitted activity since the state has used this narrowing ie repression as a way to deal with existing structural problems without ending their root causes (problems ranging from credit imbalances to over-capacity in state-owned enterprises to growing inequality to corruption and beyond).

China two years ago or maybe China might permit enough market choice to allow basic innovation. But appetite of the repressive apparatus is not going to be sated and virtually all choices may wind-up being politicized. What happens when a well-connected individual asks you to invest-in/consult-for/etc their enterprise? What impact on your social credit might it have if you refuse?

It is fairly well established that secrecy and repression tends to breed corruption - when individuals have untouchable power, of course they'll want to leverage that for gain.
You're right, but the article didn't find a mixer. They found the temporary deposit addresses every exchange uses and then wrote a FUD article to drive traffic and awareness of their sketchy ICO.
This is exactly what it is.
I suspect the down votes (which I assume you're alluding to) are more regarding the wording. "Got a link that backs up this rather surreal claim?" can read as very aggressive rather than as a genuine question for more information. Also, the second result in my DDG query for "zuckerberg child chinese name" is this link, with the title "Chinese president snubs Mark Zuckerberg’s request for baby name".

Variants of "citation needed", particularly those that appear aggressive and easily searchable can potentially attract downvotes, regardless of the actual intent on the part of the poster, one of the downsides of internet forums where the only channel of communication is the text itself, stripped of intonation and body language.

If you're not on Mavericks anymore it's a moot point, but IIRC HiDPI scaled resolutions were disabled on most external monitors. However, there was a terminal command to enable them.

Good advice on setting your charity. I'd be hesitant for mass amount of people going 100% charity as this needs to be worth it for both starch and humblebundle in order to get similar deals :)
A recent poll had 40% of "millenniums" that didn't think that the 1st Amendment covered "hate speech."

Though, I'm not really sure you can remove politics from the question and I doubt candidates and parties would not be involved, even if they have to force their way into the issue.
A few years back, I wondered: Why is it I believe in things no else agrees with?

I seemed to look at the different schools of thought, pick the best one that answers as many questions as possible, and believe in it until something better comes along (ie can it solve more problems than the previous school of thought).
(But, I was at least somewhat aware it was not scientific or scholarly. A combination of logic, emotion, and preferences.)

My peers in HS who went on to higher education
(Stanford, Yale, Harvard, Worcester, MIT, etc.,) agree with the status quo, work within it, and have careers, children, so on. (Nothing wrong with that and there is no professional jealously on my part.)

I suspect, however, they are shipbuilders, who are treated as explorers. Scientific researchers who find
juicy hacks and turn them into over-priced drugs with dangerous side-effects.

You, however, take on the far superior approach to accumulating and developing new knowledge. However, it seems to come more naturally to you than to your peers. (Even taking into account your mathematics/musician parents and good teachers you encountered.)

Which cities and universities around the world have been most receptive to your lectures? (I would assume it would be some in Canada, Scandinavian countries, and China. With the least receptive being in the US.)

How was poor Faraday able to contribute so much to science and technology despite the vast resources of the classical educated members of The Royal Institution and Royal Society?

"We" should do whatever makes sense for the project at hand, be that vanilla, jquery, react, etc. There's a ton of different websites out there. jQuery might be a requirement of the codebase, or already loaded, or heavily used, etc. Or the developer might find it fastest to just drop jquery in for a simple site.
Users can't be expected to manage the details of their computer and operating system?

Isn't that exactly what you're arguing against Apple doing for them?
You're right about the brain drain no longer being in effect. I suspect it's due to the new shortsighted trend with US immigration policy: https://nextshark.com/u-s-made-getting-visa-difficult-people... Not so much with people wanting to go back.

Still I feel it's still more inefficient and expensive compared to just having a free flow of information and data.
I thought stuff like "1M concurrent connections" was easy this days? I'd love to understand more about your problems.
Sorry, but is there any evidence that iMessage or FaceTime has been MITMed? In China or elsewhere?

(I wonder whether it's tolerated because of Apple's small market share...)
The latter. I used to have an automatic trigger but it broke when I ported my client software from one obscure Lisp to another, and I haven't yet gotten it working again.

Basically we do cmd+f title a lot.
In the same vein, why should the client be closed sourced at all?

I skimmed through the source of the npm package and see that it's a shim for a binary blob for each target environment (linux32, linux64, windows, etc). It's 8MB per platform and the tarball has all the other platforms there as well so there's 52MB of junk added to each app build:

And this is why JavaScript is one of my least favorite languages.

Is there a website that stays up-to-date with a brief summary of all this nonsense? I haven't programmed in JavaScript in 4 years but am needing to relearn it again for a project, and searching Google for "iterating over elements" in JavaScript returns 57 different techniques, all considered "the best way" at some different point in time over the last few years, and all with varying levels of browser support.

There is no "the" Chinese. There are a lot of individual people, and if you took a Chinese baby and raised it in an encouraging way, there is no Chinese gene that would make them timid and obedient regardless. And just like you wouldn't take, say, an alcoholic, and say that being an alcoholic is obviously the best way for them to be, or they wouldn't be one, I don't see how that is any more sensible with "cultures". I reject it.

People hiding behind each other and in hierarchies is no less dysfunctional than people plastering over the holes in their souls with material goods and what have you, and harmony is a complete stranger to both, at least as I understand it. When I speak with a human being who wears a saddle of some kind, has some kind of dirt on their lens, peace enters my mind after the conversation, after the fake, uptight, unhappy circus leaves town and me with my mind and the world around me as it is, not as overly fearful people inside it want me to describe it.
You might be right in a certain philosophical sense, but you're also cut off from communications with 98% of the business world with that attitude.

Yeah my experience is that Americans lock on to how horrible and oppressed China must be, "those poor victims", perpetuated and validated by the Chinese-Americans whose parents came here after a revolution and have little-to-no connection to life in mainland China after that point, but the other Americans elevate the Chinese-American view as more canonical and don't dare to challenge it. While this stands in direct contrast to a large proportion of mainland Chinese who don't find the social order to be controversial at all.

I thought I was being intentionally pretty specific that client/server relationships can go both ways, at the same time, regardless of which side initiated the connection. Once you have a connection, no matter which side initiated it, or even if they both just randomly met in Linda tuple space like ships in the night, each side can offer services to and consume services from each other.

System Information 10.13 reports a medium type "SSD" for my stock MacPro6,1 flash and medium types "SSD" or "Rotational", as appropriate, for SATA SSDs and hard drives connected via non-RAID Thunderbolt AHCI controllers.

For my two Thunderbolt SAS RAID arrays, however, System Information shows no "Medium Type" field at all. And Disk Utility reports "Solid state: No" for both, even though one is, in fact, all SSD.

Therefore, on this one particular Areca controller at least, I'd be willing to bet that SSD boot volumes would look just like rotational hard drives to APFS and the installer, and therefore would not have been auto-converted at installation time.

With that said, on the GM candidate, converting the volumes on these RAID arrays to APFS after the fact was as simple as right-clicking each in Disk Utility and selecting "Convert to APFS...". And it the week or so since I did so, I've had no problems or regrets.

All volumes on this system are FileVault-encrypted, and APFS conversion did nothing to change this.
