This is fantastic, thanks for sharing! It's especially nice on a mostly green day like today, which is to say on a day when BTC is up, since as BTC goes so the alts follow.
That's a fair argument.

The obvious counter argument is that we need more layers of security.

Example: HTTPS + GPG signature gives you two layers, even if most skip one of them.

Definitely, not a spy.
It may be that blue is pervasive, at least in blue-skyed cultures, such that any variations in blue are not that important for tasks such as finding ripe fruits or rancid meats. So then, maybe blue was relegated to the background of consciousness as being unremarkable in itself.

Read this thread but replace every mention of jQuery with "table layouts", the parallels are striking.

jQuery has been a good friend for many years. It saved us from the drudgery of cross-browser support and gave us an enjoyable API for browser development.

Technology moves on, today's browser APIs and tooling are light years ahead of what we had 11 years. You might not need jQuery, and that's ok!

This looks like a AC-powered clock form factor, and quick Amazon searches show that other AC-powered clocks also do not have power cords in the product photos.

Included a couple. Thanks for the feedback.
There are other perspectives of that argument.

1) Many countries have codified freedom of speech, religion, expression. The deterrents to undermining those protections have nothing to do with armed citizens.

2) Populist uprisings in many countries contain caches of weapons at the time it is deemed fruitful.

3) Inclusion in a constitution isn't necessary to make it legal for citizens to own guns.

4) Inclusion in a constitution isn't necessary to make it illegal for nearly all citizens to own guns.

5) Can you elaborate on exactly what the role of armed citizens is in making sure the government doesn't undermine first amendment protections? The only thing I can think of is killing judges, hanging senators, shooting pencil pushers that enforce the administrative aspects of onerous regulations. Is that an accurate understanding of the argument?
My dream phone would have a small e-ink display that can maybe read wikipedia or text based websites, simple physical buttons, and a 5000 mAh battery, maybe even some low discharge chemistry instead of lion, shooting for a charge maybe once a month.

> How does keybase make money? I am afraid they are in the business of selling my online identity.

This comes up semi-regularly. Within the recent announcement of Teams [1] it was noted that:

"Put most simply, we eventually want to find a way for actual enterprises to pay, while keeping personal and community use free. And any use now is grandfathered in."

I've seen similar sentiments in earlier announcements.

There are lots of practice apps on websites and smartphone apps that give flashcards from the question pool. Some people memorize the answers, but you should look into why the ones you don't know are what they are.
For better or worse, society respects a well dressed person with manners more than they do a spittle-flecked zealot. I suspect more people have been turned away from desktop Linux precisely because of this.

It has been very, very socially helpful to learn to not say should and to substitute could. Relatedly, I also try to say I can relate, and not to say I understand. Just a couple of small things completely change how people respond to me.

You could try it in your everyday speech and see if you notice a difference?

How does one go about proving a falsehood with absolutely no basis in truth? How do I prove the absence of allegedly subpar safety measures and private payroll information of GM? This is not a scientific approach. I substantiated my claim with reference to the article, and extensive information about GM’s vehicle is not present on their website beyond this, which lists a number of comparable safety features to the smart car: http://media.gm.com/media/cn/en/gm/news.detail.html/content/...

Let's stay on track here - this isn't about your irrelevant experiences traveling in China. Trolls use exactly this tactic to waste the time of dubious readers, in an apparent attempt to shift the burden of proof to anybody that’d bother. I'm not going to disprove every vague, unrelated anecdote you're willing to share.

I don’t know where you hail from, but as an anglo-American citizen, let me be clear: this jingoistic willingness to support bullshit about American manufacturing in China makes the USA look pathetic and fearful about the rise of competitors. It is feckless to encourage English readers on HN with nonsense - the net effect is to stir readers into underestimating the vast safety engineering talent in China.
Target wasn't storing credit cards. They installed spyware onto the POS systems, and the CC numbers were not stored in memory on the actual register. So there was a point in time that they could be pulled from system memory. There was an in-depth analysis I'm struggling to find at the moment. But Krebs shines a bit more light on it.

https://krebsonsecurity.com/2014/02/target-hackers-broke-in-...

While Target does store transaction information, they don't store the actual credit card info. That's why you need to provide the physical credit card to do a return, or they give you store credit.
Blue is generally pretty useless, very few natural things are blue in terms of diffuse/albedo hue. I'd accept an assertion that it is largely useless for an animal to distinguish between blue band wavelengths.

I categorize "free will" like tort law, not like physics. When you have "free will" for a choice, you're in a situation where you are able to commit a tort or a crime in the eyes of society.

Like, do people have free will while they are sleepwalking? Science doesn't have a good answer, but people have successfully been acquitted of crimes they claimed they committed while asleep. It's far easier to answer questions about free will when you think of it in legal terms, and it matches up pretty well with your intuitions about things.
To be in the 30%+ tax brackets you would need an income of about $200k. The highest federal tax bracket is 39.6% so I'm not sure how you'd be in a 40% tax bracket. Additionally you'd need to be making much more than $200k to have an effective tax rate over 30%.

If you're concerned about state taxes, well, nobody is forcing you to live in that particular state. I'm not sure what your point is but even in SF if you can live off of $200k+ a year you're leading a fairly excessive life on average.
As you take the size of a black hole to extreme mass, just outside the event horizon is as safe as any other place in outer space, as curvature (in the sense of tidal forces) at and near the horizon falls off dramatically as the horizon radius increases. The increase in the horizon area also reduces your chances of colliding with something on a different orbit around the black hole, so you're less likely to be vaporized by matter in the accretion disc moving relativistically with respect to you.

Your buddy could be holding your beer for a very long time though, because gravitational time dilation at a given small distance outside the horizon increases with the mass of the black hole, and it will take you more of your own proper time to move through the region near a very large black hole than through the region near a small one.
I'm actually sympathetic to your argument, but the author himself says this in the early paragraphs:

"but the piece of technology I would be most reluctant to give up, the one that changed my life from the first day I used it, and that I’m still reliant on every waking hour—am reliant on right now, as I sit typing—dates from the thirteenth century: my glasses."
Don't forget that the performance improvement of hash over b-tree gets better for wide keys - the wider the key, the better the improvement, as the key width is irrelevant to the hash index.

Based on the width of the key, the row count and the amount of memory available, there might be instances where a disk-hit gets replaced with an in-memory cache, which is awesome for spinning-disk based systems.

When US police officers are afraid of its citizens, more citizens die, because police officers are people and would rather be alive and sorry than be shot and dead.

A government "afraid" of its citizens cannot function properly. If armed citizens ensure that, I'd consider that an argument in favor of disarming citizens.

Got as far as the first paragraph and all I could think was, this author doesn't know what science is.

Or is just artificially restricting its definition for the benefit of his article using weasel phrases like, "and none historically had any connection with what we think of today as science."

"Some of the most important things we use every day were invented long before the adoption of the scientific method."

No, just no. The scientific method has been employed by humans (and animals) for as long as we've had brains. Its formal definition is only a recent development.
The first two aren't such good examples. Dental problems due to modern diet, and resistance to antibiotics... it's not cut and dry.
Alot of that may simply be covered under the general Criminal Defense of Necessity.

For example it is illegal to break into someone home, but if that home is on fire and you break in to save a resident you have a Criminal Defense of Necessity for breaking in...

Like Wise if you are in an area with no communication and you "illegal" transmit a radio signal for the purpose of obtaining necessary assistance you would have a Criminal Defense of Necessity for breaking the FCC regulations
Wechat had audio messages way before whatsapp. And the animated emojis way before facebook. Both used to be the shit when I was using wechat a couple of years ago. Also you can use wechat to as essentially a credit card. It's like a blob app that has everything in it.
> So basically all our problems will go away if we return to UML

UML belongs to the class of semiformal models. In other words: It leads people into believing that a lot more things are precisely specified than actually are.
Man, I just never get tired of reading pretty much anything about Id. I think I speak for a lot of programmers, and not just game devs, when I say that the romanticization of Id's history has painted one of the most ideal programmer stories, and one that I often have fantasized living, or at least have imagined what it would have been like to be on that team in the glory days.

I never played Commander Keen, or Wolfenstein 3D, or even Doom, which were all before my time. But when all my friends were getting high speed internet and playing the newest FPS games online, I dreamed of the day I'd have a computer good enough and connection fast enough to join in on the fun. Then one of my older family friends gave me his old copy of Quake 3 Arena, and suddenly I was thrown into this unbelievably fun world of online death matches. Even on my weak family desktop, I could play the game with good FPS. This was my first real interest in computers.

Then when I started programming and learning the history of the field, I of course came across the Id team and connected the dots between my first online gaming experience, programming, and how Id created these games with it. It's been one of those magical "good old days" of programming culture that I look back on for inspiration and motivation and why I like this field so much.
Is there a similar initiative to protect consumer data privacy in the US?
Using VS Code to Debug Java Applications
You're assuming that the problem is caused by ad blockers, not by over-reliance on JavaScript, insufficient testing, or other poor web design. Anti-adblocker software usually announces itself, in my experience; the goal is to get people to turn off their ad blockers, not leave entirely.

For record. Up to 10% Paleo diet protein was from humans. This is the world we would "return" to.
JavaScript, especially ES6. I also suggest a solid scripting language like Perl.

If you plan to go after "Enterprise" application development (which will actually be more like maintenance of legacy code), core Java is a good place to start. IMO it's easy to learn because it's so verbose but hard to be productive with for the same reason. Knowledge of Java can also get you into the world of Android app development.

If you want new and trendy, I would look into Ruby and Clojure.

And since everything is going to the cloud these days, definitely start looking into AWS.
I highly recommend services like this. We were pressured to work with a high powered SF law firm at the accelerator I was in.

It was a total waste of a huge amount of money. ($800 an hour)

They added very little value. On more than one occasion I had to request corrections after the "final" documents were out for signature.

Usually having to remove data that was obviously left over from the last company they used the word doc template on.

You can probably fill out templates with a service for a lot less than $800 an hour.

And I don't believe for a minute that it took 5 hours of $800 an hour labor to fill out those templates not do I even believe the actual $800 an hour guy did more than quickly glance at the first page of the doc.

And while I'm ranting, what a stupid and completely broken system legal documents are. They would email us 500 pages of documents and then we would print the last page that was nothing but signatures. Scan it, and send it back where it is then appended to the document they emailed us. OR any freaking document they want.
> In C++, null references are Very Bad,

They are!

And while they are not a normal thing, they are a thing and I've run in to them a handful of times in the real world, almost always the result of someone not checking for null before dereferencing a pointer.

Rust does not really have this issue.
It depends on your use case. In the context of TLS this is true. In the context of wanting DNS to stand on it's own for use cases outside TLS, then having signed and validated data in DNS is valueable.

> would likely create prisons to protect the people

How would prisons protect people? By deterring the people who might endanger them, by removing the capacity of people who do cause harm to cause more harm, by punishing those people, and by rehabilitating them into society.

The reasons aren't secondary or primary. They're different sides of the same coin, just stated from different perspectives: how to deal with the problem of crime vs. how to protect society from criminals.
I was intern at a company that writes medical software and software for medical devices. I tell you: The usual standards are mostly bureaucracy and rather worthless in that they change anything about development practice.

I also had a nice private talk with a person who worked in software development for avionics at some very well-known company. Before I talked to him, I thought that at least there the development practices are better. After that I seriously ask why there are not serious accidents about everyday and how the plane even comes off ground. :-(

TLDR: Dream on... :-(

I thought ethanol was an alternative to MTBE, which was a problem because it was contaminating groundwater in many places.
The direct combustion emissions can be about half in the right powertrain, but ethanol fermentation produces CO₂ on its own, as does the distillation process, as does the machinery involved in cycling and drying (possibly actively, consuming more energy to heat them, or passively, consuming more energy to transport them) the molecular sieves used to separate the azeotrope of H₂0 and ethanol. Furthermore, Ethanol is, gallon for gallon, about half as energy dense as gasoline.
Using fixed-point representation would allow using this compression method.

Another point worth making: we gain more by upgrading than by running.

Since our search volume is naturally the cube of our max search distance, a twofold increase in range yields and eightfold yield in search volume, and hence event rate.

Put another way, if you can get better than a 30% increase in search distance by upgrading half of the time and running the other half, you're doing better than breaking even (1.3^3 > 2) because your increase in event rate more than makes up for the downtime.

This is why it actually makes more sense for us to do these thorough, ambitious upgrades than to just leave the detectors on all the time.
