It turns out that the best way to gather evidence isn't actually polite deference to every wild story you hear!

I don't understand your point at all about "tainting evidence" and how that could possibly follow from brusque questioning.

> I understand ad hominems are generally not cool, but seeing as the author's contributions to this article are, in typical Vice fashion, devoid of anything other than breathless, sneering, self-important cultural 'commentary', I find it harder to take the high road.

The authors contribution to the article is just that... the article. The author sought these people out and got them to share their thoughts on the Zune.

Also, what you call breathless, sneering self-importance (at least in this instance) I call a sense of humour.
Really? I'm Australian and I've worked in factories, in airlines, in government, in the country and the city and I have never seen or heard overt racism.

I did see it in Netherlands though. I also worked for a few years in Netherlands, and I was shocked to see a woman, one of the management / HR mock the only black employee relentlessly with monkey noises.

Milo, for example, will go somewhere and they will drown him out, protest, and interrupt his speech. Sometimes, they even manage to get the invite rescinded.

Slowly but surely, more and more people are seeing that people are trying to limit free speech. They are noticing that the universities are favoring certain types of speech.

What they are doing is bringing attention to the attempts to silence people. Slowly but surely, we are winning this fight. More people notice, more people speak out, more people exchange their ideas.

Their horrible speech (and Milo isn't that bad, I've listened to him) is enough to make people try to silence him. Before, it was quiet and nobody really noticed. Now, it has started to go mainstream.

Now, those who weren't paying attention are seeing the changes that have been underway since the 80s. And they are starting to speak up. They are starting to say, 'No, let them speak.'

It means more people are starting to speak out about our right to freely express and that many of those people aren't, you know, Nazis. Nazis make terrible frontmen for political movements. Really, they are just horrible people.

We are getting more socially acceptable people speaking out, instead of the outlandish.

It is a bit like how you can't mention State's Rights without being assumed to be a racist. That has been changing recently, as the subject matter is now weed and immigration. Those are easier causes for people to get behind than the racism usually associated with it.

So, it's changing. I see speech values changing rapidly. I've been at this since the 80s. I'm not dead yet, so I might just as well keep fighting the good fight. On my side are people like EFF and the ACLU, so I am in good company.
> Sometimes I think people on the west coast seem to think of a city as a place that's supposed to stay the same forever ("forever" being defined as starting at about 1960).

In my experience this isn't a west coast thing - it's just the cities here are "newer" (compared to the east coast) so haven't quite graduated to the density and usage characteristics that modern large metropolises have.

I find that what you're describing is the standard Boomer longing for the "good old days" applied to the cities they probably showed up in during their 20s. Or how they pictured them anyhow.

Usually they're the worst NIMBYs.

The drawings are pretty interesting, but there's literally no notation, everything is described. Other civilization's ancient mathematics are similar

"The sum of one and two is a value of three."

Or they might shorthand it to "The sum of a and b is a value of c." And since that civilization hadn't invented discrete symbols for numbers yet, everybody just knows that a = 1, b = 2 and c = 3.

So, I get that you feel like your home is threatened and changing. You feel like this is your town, your neighborhood and you liked it that way. I'm sorry that you're experiencing such psychic pain.

You are empowered to vote for representation that can protect these communities. In this case, for whatever reason, it appears not enough people in the community wielded their power to create the outcome that you think is best.

Aside: I'm from a small town that is experience crazy growth as well. In my life time, we've gone from a single stop light to 10 and have doubled in size. Our water table is unable to cope with the new amount of people -- there is a real risk that the aquifer will deplete. Another side effect, water is becoming more expensive. The response to this problem hasn't been to blame new residents, it's been political efforts to restrict new development.
If you specifically discount the very problem it was meant to solve then yes, yes then there it is not solving "anything"

So I decided to test this out on a 1CPU/512M DO droplet, just for fun.

I did indeed hit OOM during the setup (`bundle install` and `yarn` steps). After the first one I added a 1G swap and made it all the way through the 1.6.1 install (although the webpack precompile step damn near used up the whole swap!). Anyway 1.6.1 idles around 600M without any attempt to optimize.

I next tested an upgrade from 1.6.1 to 2.0.0 and was able to get it done (with the precompile again cutting it close - it hit 1015M of the swap, hah!). No change in memory usage, perhaps a bit more even.

Off topic - the install process was easy enough but seems like it could really do well to be (much) more automated. Do you know if anyone is working towards this? I suppose that is what Docker is for...

What seems the most likely is that, effectively, memory is like very lossy, probabilistic compression spread with redundancy across a billion analog storage nodes, similar in some ways to a Bloom filter. It’s not binary though, it’s analog. After all, there’s no value in perfectly “unlearning” or destroying a specific memory, just “free” it up by gradual deemphasis of its parts and perhaps it may effectively go away.

Also, the interplay between short-term and long-term memory formation in order to make some approximation of the short-term memory (also an approximation) somewhat permanent.

Granted, recall is imperfect and different every each time.
The core argument here is that religious people cannot discuss the falsity of their beliefs, but that's a problem in discussing other things, because religious people don't constrain their beliefs to the purely metaphysical.

Can prayer help with stroke or not? Is Israel special to God's plans or not? Are other religions corrupting the souls of children with false idols or not? Does God generally regulate the affairs of the earth, including its ecology and climate, or not? Does God have prescriptions on medicine and biological contamination or not?

Since the confidence of existence in supernatural interaction means that secular frameworks are ignorant, how are spiritually different groups supposed to discuss these issues?

> it's not like you can ask questions about a random paper you are currently reading

In the early days of the web, I remember a service that allowed you to comment on any page on the web. I think it used frames. It embedded the page you were looking at into a frame and allowed anyone to comment in the margins -- it looked a lot like Fermat's Library. Unfortunately I can't remember what the service or start-up was called.

I thought it was a great idea and very democratizing. You could comment on a newspaper article even if they didn't allow commenting. You could comment on Coca-Cola's page or anywhere on the web. What killed it wasn't spam, advertising, trolling, or inane YouTube-style comments. Certainly those would have been problems to deal with if the service got really popular.

What killed it was copyright. Some company sued them out of existence because they were ostensibly violating copyright by embedding someone else's page.
But if someone shows up wearing a black coat and jackboots because they think they look cool(or posting pepe memes because they think the images are funny), can you brand them as racist and kick them out?
This is happening in popular coastal cities all over the US. I live in the city that I grew up in, but most people I run into moved here. I'm on a Slack group where people, many of which have been here < 5 years, were complaining about the traffic and wanting the 'old' version of the city. Every person wants to be the last person to move to a nice city.

Thing is, I remember the 'old' version of the city. Almost zero tech jobs. One of the current most popular places for hanging out, restaurants and bars was a place you never went after dark (or much in the day time). Infrastructure was much worse (one of the more popular places to live now had a sulfur problem with the water so it smelled and tasted horribly). I understand the frustration with growth, but I like the new version city much better than old, and hope it continues.
I think when one lives somewhere, it becomes your town. That's kind of the definition of community.

I think it would be enough if they encrypted the video contents and stored in blocks out of order, ideally I would also have it streamed but let's be realistic about bandwidth and availability requirements for that. In the end there will always be significant on device storage.

AlphaGo Zero and the Foom Debate
I doubt its a double standard. This sounds like more of the usual, flame wars on forums and responses from blogs upend normal human behavior. Even in the article, one of the people who attacked Cuddy realize that they were the people who had told Cuddy to respond the way she did. He himself comments that he forgot about it and then wrote his article against her. he also adds "oh, that email exchange (before writing the article) I had was too polite." But he still respects her as a top notch psychologist.

Matter of fact I'd guess its comments like yours which are fueling the underlying issue. The usual issues with communicating emotion on the internet.

There should not be schisms on science, yet there are - camps on facts. This is a problem with far worse implications than replicability.
What about these particular statistics is deceiving? You can't just dismiss hard data without explanation. Why would your subjective impression of danger be more accurate than these numbers?
I'm also working out a smart RSS reader with feedparser. Some of the features I plan to implement are similar to features you listed. I have a few goals I'm trying to fulfill with my own project, for example a powerful query engine and tagging / sentiment analysis system.

> Also, as they say in this post, Google is already developing an even stronger isolation model that would have prevented this type of attack. It's just not fully tested and enabled yet.

Note that Site Isolation has to run every origin in a separate process to be maximally effective, which nobody has demonstrated a feasible way to do at scale yet. The plan as I understand it is to run just "high-value sites" in separate processes.

> It's also why I was hoping Mozilla wouldn't make those "best of both worlds" compromises between sandboxing and saving 30% memory. Is saving 30% memory worth having your browser twice as exploitable? Maybe it won't be that exploitable, so we'll see. Firefox may also be able to make up for the weaker sandboxing with the Rust rewrites, but only time will tell.

Where did you get the idea that Firefox is not committed to strong sandboxing?

Engineering NullAway, Uber’s Open Source Tool for Android NullPointerExceptions
Typically activation of the fire alarm will release exit doors, unlock turnstiles, and etc. to facilitate a fast exit. Latches will be arranged so that the doors only open outwards in this case.

The fire alarm system can then be manually supervised to deter false activations. Ultimately, though, human safety always trumps asset protection or information security.

No. I'm a professional open source developer who is paid exclusively to work on GPL and Apache licensed software. I basically don't believe in large-scale open source being a volunteer endeavour - it's futile to have a mostly-volunteer team try to compete against commercially funded teams.
Why did they reduce the viaduct from six lanes down to four? If you're going thru the trouble for boring a tunnel, do it proper and either keep the same lanes or add (even a convertible lane --disabled vehicle/rush hour lane) But reduction? Except for earthquake proofing the roadway, this does not improve upon the traffic on SR-99.

It reminds me of the Caldecott Tunnels --they had to bore a new one to carry all the traffic --but at least you can forgive that because traffic volume was lower when they orig built them.

To be fair, that was not in the Court's opinion — it was in a concurrence by Justice Stewart. People like to quote it, but it wasn't actually the law.

(A concurring opinion is written by one or more justices who joined in the Court's (majority) opinion but wish to write separately to make some separate points or explain where they diverge from the majority opinion.)
I'd disagree with your position - After looking at the larger body of the article, your finding is not replicated.

> She mentioned, at a psychology conference where she was presenting her work, that a study had recently been conducted on power posing. “They found no hormonal effects,” she said before taking a breath. “That study is done very well, and I trust those results.” Although 11 new papers have recently been published that do not show the downstream effects of power posing on behaviors, Cuddy is still fighting for power posing. The research, she says, still shows its effect on feelings of power: At the conference, she presented a comprehensive meta-analysis, a version of which, she says, she will soon publish, with a strong P-curve supporting that, and she also presented a P-curve suggesting that power posing had a robust effect on self-evaluations, emotions and moods.

The supply constraints med schools impose most certainly are not to prevent "oversupply" of doctors. Depending on who you ask, there are two main reasons they exist. One view is that there's a finite amount of doctors willing to work at academic hospitals, and thus there's a limited amount of new medical students that can be adequately trained. Another view is that medical schools collude to form a guild to better separate the American populace from their money, by ensuring that doctors are always scarce relative to the demand for their services. This allows doctors to demand a dramatically higher compensation for their efforts than in other countries, despite being no better here than elsewhere.
