The argument for (1) fails to make a point in how there's value for the user in having a "fully trusted hardware stack". More specifically I don't see a reason why a user shouldn't be able to disable or re-key the signature validation of the hardware after providing his login and acknowledging the risk.

As far as I can imagine, the only theoretical user benefit comes from being able to protect the device even with user cooperation, assuming he's being forced or a danger to the product. However if it's possible to circumvent the security mechanism anyway through a security bug in the implementation, this becomes a moot point. The consistent availability of jail breaks for iOS shows that the system is inherently insecure and considering the vast attack surface that's not a surprise either. There is no guarantee against the stack having been compromised.

The real leverage from the locked hardware is very much on Apple's side - they force the user into their ecosystem after purchasing the device to apply arbitrary restrictions and extract additional revenue from purchasing applications or media.

Regarding Touch ID, the sensor input (fingerprint) has been shown to be forgeable without professional tools shortly after each revision was released. The technology is insecure out of the box and my original point applies here too. You'd have to argue why the user shouldn't be able to trust the new sensor after authenticating with the primary method (pass code) and how that substantially improves device security.

Liability is btw. hardly a concern, the EU has had implied warranty that doesn't get voided by 3rd party repairs for a long time. Damage from repairs isn't really any different from just dropping the device and thus can be handled equally.

Point (2) is not well justified either. For once every battery has a connector as it's fragile and dangerous - including Apple's. You can't run it through the reflow oven with the main board and you generally don't want to add it to the assembly at the same time. The argument about repeated connector uses is absurd, we're talking about very few replacements in the product lifetime. There are plenty of cheap low footprint options that are specified for at least several uses and almost(?) every battery uses one of them.

There have been high end phone that supported toolless battery swapping in the past without showing huge tradeoffs for it. Going beyond toolless many phones can be fixed without being destroyed in the process - no tradeoff whatsoever. Not using excess amounts of irreversible glue or substituting some with screws goes a long way. It can be assumed that the actual reasoning is more along the lines of not caring to save some marginal cost or deliberately preventing repairs.

Using less glue or a slightly different design is no dead matter, other means are hardly comparable to manufacturing the high tech components. For recycling it is fundamentally important to be able to separate the components easily and any extended lifespan is vastly more beneficial than recycling to start with. The presented argument about any environmental advantage for unfixable designs is exceptionally weak.
That's wrong. A service model gives me leverage — I stop paying the rent whenever I want and return the washing machine. Maybe you have a different service model in mind, like a contract, in which case we'd naturally disagree, but I'm not talking about such a model.

Neither do I care about my flexibility to modify my washing machine. All I care is that it washes my clothes well.

Why? This is not a government bureaucracy. People die in many places in private business. As long the company has high level of assurance that they will not get sued or regulated, I don't see how a failure could collapse the whole endeavor.

I'd say it's rather that the that the features Theano pioneered can now be had from several other well-backed projects. I have no personal insight to MILA, but I suspect the development of Theano must be consuming considerable work time from academic researchers, and they concluded that time and effort would be better spent e.g. on developing and examining ML algorithms.
I wonder if some other organization will pick up responsibility for Theano. Seems to me like a project that might be difficult to keep healthy on only individual volunteer contributions.

The main reason that Vi is the tool I use to edit config files is that I know for certain that Vi will be available on any normal Linux platform I'm dealing with - nothing to install.

Any new text editor isn't going to have the benefit - Vi has a 40 year headstart. Making it easy to run it standalone, without needing loads of dependencies (and therefore without needing to be in a package manager) makes it a much more useful tool. I could just SCP it across into my home directory and run it to do my work.

> JFK helped expedite aerospace research, as well as the NASA administrators who didn't do any engineering work but kept the agency running on track? They get no credit in the 'progress'?

You're just enforcing my point, this is people who understand that we need technological progress in order for us to move forward as a society. Of course they are part of the progress, they help enable the progress to go faster.

> Again, I would be most excited about a future where the _primary_ goal of the progress is the reduction of inequality.

It is my belief that this will never happen, at least not untill we have progressed so far that everyones needs are met. Until then, there is no real incentive for people to reduce inequality. Just look at history, we've never been able to do this so far so there is no reason to belive that we suddently change our behavior.

I am defining progress as a lot of things, it can be the discovery of something new but it can also be an invention that benefits just a small number of people. In the long run, most new inventions will benefit everyone.
I mean smaller as in closer to zero as in exponent lower than 127. That part is obvious in the formula, but not from the graphs.

The interesting part of the explanation is that it shows very clearly the effect of the 1.M in the formula. Unfortunately it then does not answer the resulting question: how is zero represented. ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signed_zero does a pretty good job at that though)

In case of 2.5G connections (I still get 2.5G on a regular basis, e.g. in some specific train stations on my way to work in the morning) it can easily be 800ms per RTT - so 2.4 seconds before you have a chance to request any content.

And no, you cannot really ignore this if you are interested in fostering TLS' adoption in the real world. Every tenth of a second causes a measurable loss in user interest, and in many organizations this metric will drive the decision.

Yes. If I'm listening with headphones. That's the only inconvenience for me, because it means I need to have my phone in my pocket. I usually don't use headphones when it's sitting on my desk. (I invariably move and pull the phone off the desk.)
In my opinion nano's biggest strength is that complete CLI beginners can use nano with almost 0 prerequisite knowledge. No reading man pages or tutorials, no accidentally hitting a key then having absolutely no idea how to get help, just "it's called nano and by the way ^ means ctrl".

I think it is true though. I am a bit of a technocrat.

Just ask the people that have a fulltime job but still cannot afford a place to live if slavery has ended. But sure, politics can change some things but in the end it doesn't change much.

To add to my point, politics may alter how we live but it doesn't bring anything new into the world. If we want to progress, we need to solve issues and take away the need for people to do stuff we don't want them to do. If you had todays farming equipment for example, there would never had been any slaves because one machine can do the job of hundreds of slaves. The machine doesn't have to be fed and managed, the machine doesn't fight back.

I believe we can solve any such problem with technological advancement and thus our money should be heavily invested there.

21st century society considers me extremely useful, because I happen to be very good at solving certain kinds of puzzle. Medieval society would consider me practically useless, because I'm frail, clumsy and almost blind. My usefulness now and my uselessness then is almost entirely a fluke of genetics.

Valuing people for their utility is incredibly dangerous, because it logically invites us to devalue people for their lack of utility. My community is full of broad-shouldered, hard-working men who became economically useless when the coal mine closed. They're not worse than me, they were just born a few decades too late. They deserve every comfort that society affords me, but the fallacy of meritocracy has provided society with a plausible excuse to neglect them.

The answer to your original comment answered this. Engineers would avoid cv-driven-development if recruiters and head-hunters didn't use key-word based searches and rewarded developer CV riddled with most buzz, admittedly a bad thing.

This wasn't snark. It's pointing out a real problem with the premise of this article. It's creating a narrative of adjunct professor exploitation based on anecdotal cases. For all we know, these anecdotes are outliers and their situation isn't due to their profession or its pay.

Impressive if they achieve that. The price point they need to reach though for this to be feasible is business class.

Instead they could be overnight or even day trips. Businesses have more buying power as well compared to consumers.

I would suggest that, to replace nano, the #1 feature missing is: always show the most used keybindings at the bottom, just like nano does. IMHO the top feature of nano is that you don't need to remember commands and keybindings at all, the most important things you need are always reminded to you.

Depends on several other variables.

If you use default docker options, you'll be creating a veth pair per container. You might run into a limit there at around 1024 containers. You also might hit ulimit if your system isn't well configured.

If you use --net=none, you won't hit that issue, and you'll probably be able to manage quite a few

The resource usage ends up being roughly 4 bytes rss for the executable in the container and around 3.5MB for the "containerd-shim" go binary that parents the container.

"containerd" and "dockerd" both probably have a little extra resource usage per container they're managing, but I'd guess that's on the order of about 200KB per at most.

The next big limit you'll hit is the process/pid limit (/proc/sys/kernel/pid_max) which defaults to 32k.

Fortunately, due to the memory overhead of a bit under 4MB, you probably won't get there on your 64GB of ram server and might cap out at around 15k containers total.

Experimentally, my linux laptop (running docker 17.06) is able to run 1100 copies of that sleeping-beuaty container using almost exactly 2GB RSS additional memory and no noticeable additional cpu

This is even better than I calculated above, possibly due to shared memory for containerd-shim. I'm not investigating further.

Because the goal of government action is not to efficiently achieve a goal, but rather build a political coalition capable of capturing and defending budget requests.

The SLS specifically was designed to build a coalition between NASA centers who were involved with the SpaceShuttle, a group of large influential companies who produce the core components for the Shuttle and the SLS and a group of senators who are well located to defend these private and NASA jobs in their state.

Together the bureaucracy, business and the political can enforce this utterly foolish project to continue. This goes for both SLS and Orion, two of the biggest pork projects in US space history.
I've thought about that quite a lot lately. Here is the strongest explanation of why things are like that and why it's gonna be very difficult to change.

For at least a million year, you would have improved your chances of survival by sticking with a physically stronger mate than you are. This guy can beat the wolf when you cant, and maybe more importantly here, he may be able to beat the other tribal chiefs when you cant.

Guess how bad people stick to this habit even today. They literally have a brain forged to command them to do that. In practice what happen is that people will confirmation-biased you, they either gonna find out everything you do well, or everything you do badly depending on how badass you are. They will fill forms and say: "look, here are the reasons why we promoted him".

From what I've seen, even at Amazon which is a big geniuses recruiter - and therefore should be able to crack this problem - (amazon also have a form "reasons not to promote" which, if you're following, is kinda smart but mostly wishful thinking), people get promoted mostly based on the following leadership principle: the guy who's most likely to beat the wolf is gonna be promoted. I've experienced it first hand.

There is a light in the tunnel though. From my observations, I can tell that Amazon, for example, is able to recruit based on skills. Note that at this point, the social bonds aren't made yet which is why it works. This might also explains why you go up the ladder more easily by getting recruited - aka move diagonally. So the best thoughts I've been able to come up with is that, somehow, promotion should try to be like recruitment. Both intuitively and counter-intuitively, I think people should get promoted by people who don't know them, by some sort of recruitment process because we know we can fix that one. In any ways, I guess there is a fantastic startup to be made here.

Beside specific stories, there are two things in the general set up of Thomas that makes it IMO a toxic show.

- The trains, who have children's minds, are unquestionably servile. They obey a pompous and capricious elite (humans) and the narrator goes along for the ride. Obeying is very important for Thomas (who's physically constrained to spend his life on rails). He'll do whatever is needed to stay in his master's good graces. It is the perfect show to condition child slaves into compliance.

- The trains are racist, and it is normal and acceptable. Steam and Diesel engines loath one another. The show is presented from the steam team point of view, without an ounce of distance. The Diesels have inherent character flaws because of their engines. I just found a recent episode [1] where they kind of address that, but it is AFAICT a recent development.

> As a check on his aptitude, a serious-minded student will take courses in several different departments to find out in what field he can do the best work. This is quite distinct from finding out where he can get the best grades...

edit: wording

Interesting, "[...] in what field he can do the best work" is given as the prime criterion, and not "in what field he can earn the most money" which is given a lot of value today.

Arguably, doing the "best work" leads to financial reward, but focus on the latter inevitably sabotages the former. What a strange paradox!
Depending on how long the lines are, wrapping may turn out to be a pain in the neck because (part of) one or two lines take up the entire pane. So, though wrapping long lines works sometimes, it genuinely is impractical at other times. Also, like the other poster says, it's a matter of preference too. If someone likes to edit a line while having an eye on the lines below and above it, wrapping doesn't help.
I think a better approach would be to get a dataset of songs along with their acappella versions and fine tune the network to that.
> The minimum warranty period is 5 years

Why 5 years? Why not 4 or 6?
Actually, I think the warranty period should increase, always. For example by one month every year.
So a product sold in 2017 has a warranty of 2 years (24 months).
A product sold in 2018 would have a warranty of 25 months.
A product sold in 2019 would have a warranty of 26 months.
And so on...
This would encourage (force!) companies R&D to always improve products, but at a sustainable speed.

Of course the figures given above should be tweaked better, maybe start at 3 or 4 years warranty very soon, increase by 1, 2 or 3 months per year, I don't know.

Remember that lots of student debt isn't necessarily on tuition fees.

All while you're probably not supposed to be working. My loan was purely to pay for accommodation for my time there.
The main issue is this: We need to reduce consumption overall!

It is well known that Americans consume far more natural resources and live much less sustainably than people from any other large country of the world. “A child born in the United States will create thirteen times as much ecological damage over the course of his or her lifetime than a child born in Brazil,” reports the Sierra Club’s Dave Tilford, adding that the average American will drain as many resources as 35 natives of India and consume 53 times more goods and services than someone from China.
