See, now you're just being dishonest. I'm not even sure why?

I really, really shouldn't engage you further, but I'll try one more time.

No, the law isn't that 'over there.' The law isn't that anywhere. Nowhere on the planet can you modify your electronic devices 'however you want' and have it covered by warranty. To give a really simplistic example, you can not just start swapping out resistors and replacing them with alternatives and be covered under any legal system on the planet. Go ahead, run 440 volts into your phone and tell 'em you expect it to be covered by warranty. I'll wait for your court case. Provide documentation.

Yes, tampering. I'm now even more certain of my use of the word. The very first definition works just wonderfully. Yes, when you crack open that phone case and think you're a master at reflow with your toaster oven, you're making it worse.

I'm really, really trying to be charitable. At this point, you've been openly dishonest and made outlandish claims. No, no your legal system doesn't allow that. Go ahead, snap a few resistors off, pump 12v AC into your phone, and try for a warranty claim. I'll wait.

Seriously, that's not even a moral arguement to be made. You can't just do 'whatever you want' and expect warranty coverage - anywhere on the planet. Not in my country, not in your country. If you think you can do it in your country, consult a qualified legal professional.

Whatever you want includes things like smashing it open with a hammer and hooking it up to your car's alternator in a crazed PCP frenzy. That ain't legal anywhere.

I agree, tech billionaires should not be allowed to own parts of cities. Lets leave that to the real estate billionaires.
It doesn't imply anything. If the seller is not fraudulent then it is absolutely up to the buyer to judge the value and thus the price they pay. If they're paying $10M for a business with all the data upfront, then they are assuming they can recoup that cost.

I can sell a company that has a business model that will expire in a few years because of new tech or laws or some other reason - if a buyer still buys the company from me then what's the problem? Who gets hurt since that's what you said would happen?

There's nothing invalid or unethical about this strategy nor do I care if the acquiring company just executes badly and ends up wasting the money.

Whenever the natural balance of market forces is disturbed by the injection of second-order resources (subsidies, inheritance, generally anything that isn't earned value, etc.), the natural effect is that prices go up. This is an unassailable fact of economics.

There is a lack of inventory IMHO because the price of land has risen sharply and the cost of construction is also quite expensive, in comparison to the rehabilitation of existing structures. In my village, there is a prime piece of land, in the middle of town. This plot is surrounded by 3-4 story historic brick buildings. The land is worth $40k U.S. on the market. However, to build a sufficiently large structure to efficiently use that land will cost $1.2M-$1.8M.... there are other parcels that have renovation opportunities, at 66% of the new construction costs. All things being equal, it's impossible to cash flow new construction, unless it's on the 20+ unit per building scale...

It's a puzzle that I have yet to solve.
People talk about numpy as a numerical library, another way to think of it is as an api for interacting with contiguous chunks of memory.

You have a phone, don't you? Just look up your passwords on there.

You can even use something like InputStick to auto-type the password into the other computer if you'd rather not do it manually.
My guess is that the intent is that the passwords would be recoverable by you without the aid of a password manager, but that the relative convenience of a password manager still adds benefits (e.g. behaviourally: guiding you away from any potential tendency to opt for "simpler" passwords out of laziness)
This is perhaps a great example of why "speed" is a poorly descriptive term for software.

In automobiles, we wouldn't call a large truck "fast" even though it has a much larger (and more "performant") engine than a small car. That small car is likely "much faster" than the truck, and yet cannot do most of the things the truck does.

Sure, python is popular and important, but I don't think that popularity and "speed" are necessarily all that connected at all, except in use-cases where speed is the most important factor (say, financial transactions).

When overnight rendering 3d graphics, speed is important but final product and ease of use are probably more important, since you can compensate for speed with a larger render farm. But more bank server aren't necessarily going to reduce transaction latency (in fact could increase it) so the gains there must often be at a much lower level.

I'd guess the majority of murders have been caused by people over 30 declaring war.

Well, since US elected national office is pretty much 30 and over, that's the only way wars can be declared.

But there's a reason why there's the movie cliche of the old cautious king being toppled by the young warmonger. On average, young people are a lot more prone to violence. Put them in charge of a nation, and I have no doubt that wars would increase rather than decrease.

Yes, of course the elderly possess great wisdom, but they are also highly inflexible when it comes to thinking of new solutions to new problems.

But a lot of that is because your gray matter doesn't work as well as you become elderly. If that weren't the case, we could have young energetic minds that also are wise dominate in society.
> This is a decision that could be made by some small steering group or executive position, you don't need to invoke the whole parliament or government.

No direct insight here but I'd be willing to wager money it doesn't require the 'whole parliament or government'..
Fats Domino dead: Rock and roll legend dies aged 89
I'm not sure when they bought their houses for $150k but if it was any time recently, it was most likely in one of the cookie cutter suburban developments that look like the definition of suburbia and, if you're like me, dystopia. Some of them don't have anything near them other than houses. No stores, no amenities other than maybe a gas station-- just houses.

Source: I bought a house in one of these neighborhoods recently because it was so cheap. While there was absolutely nothing near me to do, going downtown still only took 15 minutes, so I had absolutely no problem with life there. I had my silence and my work-from-home office in my comedically large, cheap house and then if I wanted to catch a show or get dinner I would hop in the car and go downtown to meet up with friends.

I actually live in Boston now and am paying twice as much as my mortgage for a third of the space. Not an exaggeration. And it actually takes me twice as long to get out and do some things because Boston is so congested with traffic. Sadly, I think by the time I ever return to Austin, I'm sure it will have seen enough growth that it will be much the same cost to get culture from my suburban house.
Heh, our HR system had a following requirement:

- password must be between 7 and 8 characters long

- has to include one number

- has to include one of the following: $#!*, no other special characters are allowed

It was so horrendously bad it's not even funny.
Gamified Onboarding – Agile Tool
I’ve seen no evidence that they have actively courted that niche, though. As far as I can see, they’ve had a policy of benign neglect - which is far from the same thing.
But you gain the convenience of unlocking your phone while wearing gloves, having dirty/wet hands, for people with callouses/scarring/other finger issues that have prevented Touch ID from ever functioning reliably (or at all), using a heavier duty cases, etc. Certainly there are tradeoffs here, but arguments to the effect that Touch ID is already the be-all end-all of biometric authentication have a strong odor of argument-from-familiarity. I remember many debates when Touch ID was first introduced that were topologically similar to debates now happening around Face ID. It's not as if Touch ID doesn't have friction points, we've just gotten used to working around them and/or living with them. But that doesn't mean authentication tech is "done".

The ideal of course would simply be to have both (preferably with some user control about using one or the other or both). While some of the functional use space they cover overlaps (as would other methods like retina scanning), it's definitely true that they have use cases which are independent. There isn't any inherent need for it to be a zero-sum game.

However, Apple is already apparently having significant trouble getting the X produced, apparently getting both into it was an impossible reach for this year, and at the end of the day "real artists ship". Touch ID was not refined when it first shipped, it got more accurate and much, much faster over time, it was merely "good enough to get the ball rolling", but at some point that stage of things is needed. It's a tradeoff that's a challenge to get right and people can argue about where the balance is in any given instance, but I think Apple has been pretty consistent about being willing to bite the bullet and get the cycle of refinement going at a stage just before full refinement, and I'm not sure they're wrong, or that the level of refinement they've managed to reach with other products would be possible as quickly without getting it out there and in real world use.

Developer: Read the source code!

I've seriously seen this kind of response from developers while looking for help using melt (Media Lovin' Toolkit). You typically see this kind of response for better documentation: "melt is for developers. Use one of the GUI front ends to generate a script for you or read the source code."
DRM is by far the bigger problem than proprietary software in general. There is nothing inherently problematic about paying money for software -- better to be the customer than the product.

The problem comes when rapacious companies decide it's a good idea to make people pay for the privilege of being the product, and use the law to restrict what people can do with the software, which is what DRM is really all about.

I was offered over $1000 off to 'just sign the damned contract', but still ended up walking. I was fortunate to find a different dealer that didn't have an arbitration clause, though. I fear I wouldn't find that next time around, and was really hanging my hopes upon legislation like this.

Working on computers that aren't yours and remaining secure is quite challenging.

I would recommend you to use any password, but rotate the credentials every time you enter them in one of these.

20 years ago when Python was not pre-installed on most systems, the awk/gawk used to be my Swiss army knife. My first real programming job was translating 1000 LOC awk program into C.

The syntax was simpler than ed, and getting combination of grep, uniq, cut etc correct.

I call it "Excel of the command line"
> I think the biggest reason Python is still slow is that there weren't such kind of investments comparable to those for JS jits (or dot Net).

I think this is spot on. Python, Ruby, and the JVM all originated in the 1990-95 timeframe, and all started out with while-loop/switch statement bytecode interpreters. Java had the commercial backing of Sun, who viewed it as a way to compete with Microsoft Windows and invested a lot of money into making Java faster. (HotSpot, etc.) As far as I know, lacking that kind of investment, the main Python and Ruby implementations are still interpreting bytecode 25 years later.

.Net was a little bit different because by the time it came around, JIT was widely understood to be a useful thing, and Microsoft built the CLR with JIT as one of the founding principles.

I also tend to believe that Emacs suffers the same sorts of problem. At it's core, Emacs is a Lisp implementation, and high-performance concurrent language implementations are expensive to build.
You should realize that I wasn't saying "thing works for you individually" and rather was saying "thing works generally and is succeeding"

I'm sorry you had a bad user experience.

However your anecdote does not invalidate the reality that tweet chains are far more popular than blogs for spreading analysis of news today. They are extremely popular and successful, even if you have personally failed to use them as you would like.

This, IMO, is like someone experiencing motion sickness while using an Oculus Rift and then boldly proclaiming all of VR to be a complete failure.

Principles for deciding what to work on
I used to have a password algorithm then switched to 1Password and never looked back.

My problem of 4 years of algorithm use was that it would slowly change over time. I began to add mechanisms to predictably rotate the passwords. I began to add mechanisms that dealt with arcane dumb password requirements. Encountering a login from 3 years ago usually had me trying 3 different variants before getting it.

Furthermore, my algorithm still produces passwords that have considerably less entropy than a password generator will do for you.

The other advantage of password managers are for those damn security questions. I now routinely use 4-word diceware generated password as my security question answers and can store those in 1Password as well. The number of websites that let you bypass login with just a security question is mind blowing.
I use a mail service the requires 1 or 2 lines more than a normal address. It's a huge pain filling out shipping address forms online to include the extra info. A lot of it ends up in the Name field. Truncation is also a problem when the label printers truncate more than the form validation.

All of my future projects will have 5 line shipping address forms.

Well, that is fair enough, but I wasn't claiming to support Google's position so much as I was pointing out that this is not a case of UA blocking. It seems a lot more innocuous than that.

Rather than tell Google engineers they can't use cutting edge features that they may have even worked on getting standardized, I'd rather go the route of doing what I can to support Mozilla in implementing these features faster. Right now I'm not sure what that is aside monetary donations and code contributions, but either way it seems like a more sustainable future.

If Google were using non-standard features or blocking the entire page based on UA, I'd agree this would be very annoying. But it certainly isn't, as far as I can tell.

On the other hand, Hangouts deserves all of this scorn. It doesn't work in Firefox in any capacity to this day. Very disappointed about that. That being said, it's the only Google service I use right now that doesn't, among Maps, Docs, Search, Drive, Inbox...
Building a movement is just another version of the handicap principle[1].

A startup that can afford to waste time and resources on building a movement is seen as "healthy" to potential customers. It's a reliable signal of fitness for a company.

I don't think card companies and banks are trying to be moral police, they just don't want to be in the business of holding drug money that the feds can then seize.
Interestingly, perl was designed to fill exactly that role, with a syntax that was at the time considered cleaner and more intuitive than awk's (and of course with a regex backend that was much more powerful). In this case, something like:

perl -e 'while(<>) { $tot += (split)[2]; }; print "$tot\n"'

It's funny to see that in perl's decline, the stuff it did well is being forgotten and resurrected via tools it at one point had mostly replaced.
you could simplify by taking advantage of default value which is `0` in numeric context

awk -F: '$3>240{total+=$3} END{print +total}' /etc/passwd

In my experience, the contents of the Accelerated Edition are nigh incomprehensible without a prior understanding of Core. I'd recommend that if you choose to play Accelerated, the GM be familiar with Core. It'll also be a lot easier to understand if you watch some "actual play" on YouTube beforehand.

Note that the text of both editions (as well the Fate Toolkit and some other goodies) is dual-licensed under CC-BY or OGL: http://www.faterpg.com/licensing/licensing-fate-cc-by/

The Fate SRD site is a third-party creation that presents the texts in a more convenient/organized way: https://fate-srd.com/

There's really no need to buy any books, but they're very reasonably-priced; the Core and Toolkit books are also very well-constructed and can withstand a good deal of usage. Though you can technically play with standard d6's, I'd recommend picking up some Fate (or Fudge) dice; I got a couple sets on Amazon, each set having enough dice for 3 players.

For stories/settings, there are loads of freely-available "Worlds of Adventure" on DriveThruRPG: http://www.drivethrurpg.com/browse/pub/2152/Evil-Hat-Product...

You might also like to check out Dungeon World if you haven't already: http://www.dungeon-world.com/

It similarly is CC-BY and has an "SRD" site: http://book.dwgazetteer.com/

IMO it's considerably easier to grok than Fate, especially for people new to RPGs, but YMMV. It also has a pretty expansive section of "rules" for the GM, which leaves room for little doubt about what the GM should be doing (and is, in large part, applicable to other games as well). It also uses standard d6's, so there's no need to invest in special dice (though the Fate dice sets aren't terribly expensive anyway).

I'll also plug Open Legend (I'm unaffiliated other than being a KS backer): http://www.openlegendrpg.com/

This is the false sense of security through obscurity. Given the simple algorithm and without any entropy, it will be trivial to crack the password if the hacker has your multiple passwords. This is very possible since you are sticking to the same algorithm for every website but you don't know which website will just store the plain text of the password. One can easily link you among different websites with your username or email.
Good luck building a home that's impervious to every disaster possible.
I don't think this is good advice. Password algorithms are security by obscurity, and only work as long as people don't figure out your "trick" to generating passwords that look random.

You should be able to publish your password algorithm without people being able to compromise your accounts. Here's mine:

Pick 20-30 characters from the set of alphanumerics and special characters. Adjust length and character set to match site requirements.

With the given example, if your password is leaked plaintext on two sites, someone can reduce their brute force space from 100^30 to [A-Z][a-z][A-Z]B1a3k#[0-9]{1,2}.3 or 26^3*10^2 which is roughly 100^3
No, because it's too vague to be applied in any sensible way.

There is a moral downside to porn. There's plenty that is uploaded without the person's consent (sometimes by a bitter ex). There's also a lot of stories out there of people being coerced and made uncomfortable to continue filming when they didn't want to. I imagine this is the minority, but there's definitely issues within the porn industry.
