I have feeling he just means for the data. ZFS doesn't allow two systems to use it at the same time (unless it is shared through NFS or similar) and booting Windows from ZFS would be another challenge (I bet much more difficult one).

Currently there's no good FS that can work together with Windows and Linux/Unix.
I mean the one that works on both would be ExFAT but its age is showing up.

I currently found a workaround to have FreeNAS installed on VirtualBox and then share the volume through Samba, it works, but it is hacky. A native solution would be far better.
There is nothing new to be scared about. Landlords already exist.
Use a random password and secure generator.

If you like terminal commands, here's one way:

LC_ALL=C < /dev/urandom tr -dc "abcdefghijklmnop" | head -c32 && echo

(Choose the character set and length as you like. We like to use 32 characters picked from 16 lowercase letters. This is because it's a good balance of bit strength, fast typing for mobile devices, and full mappability to hexdecimal when we need it e.g. to prove exactly 2^128 bit strength or for compliance with HIPAA, FERPA, etc.)
Ok. We just have different outlooks.
Compression strength is rarely an issue with concrete. A 20% increase in tensile strength while notable would not make concrete suitable for tensile loads.
Has the author seen Toronto's eastern waterfront? It's the ugliest part of the city. A friend of mine said that much of the soil there is polluted and a ton of money will be needed just to clean it for residential purposes. I have been rowing there for a couple of years and I'm happy that they are revitalizing the area.

Here's Google street view of the area: https://www.google.ca/maps/@43.644809,-79.3348222,3a,75y,340...
Well, that, and presumably a package that is scheduled to be delivered to the home in question that has also not been marked as delivered. I'm just astonished that they believe a delivery person will bother-- I've never had a delivery (that wasn't booze) that didn't involve the driver being back in their truck by the time I got to the door after it rang. This sounds like it would add at least 10-30 seconds to a delivery, and I don't see a driver going for it.
Wow... That font reminds me of the last time I visited the living computer museum.
what about 1password ?
I'm not sure why Password Algorithms are rising in popularity. We refute them every time they come up. They don't work. They work UNTIL one of your passwords gets compromised. Then you're stuck either rotating one of your passwords and remembering which one(s) have been rotated, or you're stuck rotating every one of them.

I wrote this page to be a guide to friends and family, but I feel like I end up linking to the refutation of PA's more than anything else:

Yup! This is what I meant by "lacking compilation".

For example, in Go, you can produce a single statically linked executable and run it on the server directly. No need for a dev-ops/infra team.

The current prototype weighs 500 pounds (226 kg) so it could just accelerate itself at 1/400 g. After 100 hours it could be moving at 8,500 m/s but that's not including cargo or solar panels.
Almost certainly not!
Right, and the other side of that is that cities couldn't exist at all if we relied on well water alone. There isn't enough concentrated in one place, even if it were clean enough to avoid continuzous cholera outbreaks. Even in relatively wet parts of the country. New York for instance uses billions of gallons daily, piped in from upstate - and has had to for over a hundred years.
Thanks, great feedback!
This is exactly we are going to do for next release.
Currently, we are not looking or copying any established service as our vision is slightly different- we want to focus on entry-level customers.
NB: Although the ES6 spec requires TCO, it turned out to present significant implementation challenges, so it's only implemented in WebKit (Safari), and is, IIRC, marked WONTFIX in V8 (Chrome, Node), SpiderMonkey (Firefox) and Chakra (Edge). There's a good chance it'll get removed from a later edition of the standard.
Keeping open source software projects maintainable
Why is that design a failure? My index finger is generally very near the Apple logo on my phone when I’m using it. It would be entirely convenient if the TouchID were there. It would actually be more comfortable than the current location that requires an awkward grip and thumb reach.
Julia is absolutely dynamically typed [1].

> each variable can have one and only one (possibly abstract) type

This is generally untrue except for a rarely used feature allowing declaration of local variables with a certain type (assignment to such variables automatically converts to the declared type). Is this documented incorrectly somewhere?

Julia's object model allows a spectrum of array types. At one end, `Vector{Any}` is a Python-like array, and at the other, `Vector{Float64}` is a C-like (or NumPy-like) array with a concrete element type. If the element type is abstract but more constrained than `Any` then you get something in between these extremes. This includes array types like `Vector{Union{Float64,Void}}` and `Vector{Real}`, both of which have abstract element types smaller than `Any`. The former can still store values inline like C arrays, thanks to recent work on efficient representation of unions small values. The latter needs Python-like vector-of-pointers representation because the set of kinds of values it can hold is unbounded since you can add new subtypes of `Real` at any time.

You're "rebuttal" is equally, if not more so, absurd than any claim made in the article.

You're calling democracy into question as your first argument for letting Google do this? REALLY? Then you ask for research, as evidence, that would be impossible to do?

I agree if the city wants to let Google do this then so be it, but your response to the article was even more pointless than you claim the article to be.
By the time Apple held their event they would have probably already known this (or the possibility of it).

I wonder if 1 in 1 million is the lower number and originally it was 1 in 2.5 million or something.

Of corse you’re right if they went below the million number there is a lot of room before they get to TouchID accuracy levels.

It seems like the bigger ones are more efficient. Looking at the design I think they nested several hall effect thrusters which could improve focus or something.

The problem is passwords, so long as we have passwords we are going to keep talking about password algorithms, password managers, password strength, password requirements, lost passwords, stolen passwords, phished passwords, forgotten passwords, expired passwords and all that crap.

My startup is working on killing the password. What if we don't need passwords EVER? No need to argue about algorithm, strength, reset, lost, stolen, forgotten and expired passwords.

This is the problem I'm currently working on. Oh yeah, I did apply to YC and got rejected. Anyways, I'm in the early stages but plan to be shipping within the next 4 months. If anyone is interested in beta testing when I reach that stage please ping me.
The hole of Space exploration is really hindered by the approach to nuclear power. Many missions that could fly with nuclear batteries don't use them. Rosetta would have been a far better mission with one.

On a larger scale we should have nuclear reactors in space. If we ever want a mars colony, nuclear is way, way better then solar. Elon Musk is gone try with solar but he really doesn't have any other options.

NASA is the one place there can actually be progress on this stuff, no private company can reasonable attempted this stuff because of regulation. We need more nuclear batteries, we need small reactors for space and we need nuclear thermal rockets engines.

Reaching into 90s ain't that hard if you have OK genes and didn't fuck up along the way with addictions, or very bad lifestyle habits.

It's just that most people have a slightly destructive habit or two, which might not be outright terrible but it compounds over decades. Add the fact that very few people do some physically intense activities regularly (ideally daily). Hence the current results.

The simple fact is, most rich quickly realize that they can lead pretty awesome lives if they want to, and the motivation to keep this state for as long as possible is strong. So most of them lead actually pretty healthy lifestyles. It just doesn't make good headlines.
As far as I understand, one important difference is that JavaScript doesn't have __getattr__ or __setattr__ (or at least earlier versions didn't).

You might not use those hooks a lot in your application code, but it seems that web frameworks and the like do a lot of reflection, which makes the code difficult/impossible to optimize (even at runtime with a JIT).

Python also has __add__ (operator overloading) and JavaScript doesn't. This is a good talk about how subtle or crufty the semantics of something like "a+b" is in Python:

The PyPy developers had to copy a lot of the implementation details of CPython, which doesn't always result in the fastest code.

So say I live in Germany and Amazon gets served a warrant in the US to facilitate in remotely unlocking my door. Amazon could theoretically unlock my front door from their HQ in the US.

What are the legal ramifications of this? We're not talking about access to data anymore, but potentially access to physical locations that would otherwise be outside of direct US jurisdiction.
In addition to letting them into your home, its outward-facing camera lets them into your neighborhood, setting the stage for feature-creep, facial recognition, immigrant surveillance, automobile surveillance, subpoena'd police access, poorly-managed data, etc.

We tolerate this from a security company's cameras because that's their specific intention and the quality costs a monthly premium. From cutthroat retailers like Amazon, Walmart, etc., I have no expectation of ideal behavior.

Eric Schmidt said on Tuesday the genesis of the thinking for Sidewalk Labs came from Google's founders getting excited thinking of "all the things you could do if someone would just give us a city and put us in charge," although he joked he knew there were good reasons that doesn't happen. He then related his reaction when the company discovered it had won the bid for the development of its city-as-a-platform model: "Oh my God! We've been selected. Now, it's our turn."

Google being given a city sounds like hell, but they'll probably stop supporting it after a few years, anyway.

The grandiosity and ego of tech CEOs never ceases to amaze. You'd think someone with so much power wouldn't so casually drop that they want a city, too. Why don't you guys focus on your existing empire?
I had the same thought. It’s likely that the 1 million number is after the change. Either way, the larger point remains.

You can do something similar with https://www.qkast.com and web content.
That’s thought to be one of the reasons why. There are 3 years of phones that are effectively identical looking so if want to show off you have the ‘new shiny’ you really can’t because without close inspection no one can tell.

"""Typical code density ratio of Python versus AWK is 10:1, sometimes more. This means that if you have a 650 line Python program, you can implement the same functionality in about 280 lines of AWK, and the program will be far simpler. I've once collapsed a 280+ line Python program into a simple 15 lines of code in AWK."""

How does this work? I am not saying it can't be done, but the main benefit of Awk seems to be quick one-liners, which are possible because you get "records" (splitting on whitespace) and lines (splitting on newline) and looping for free. But for larger programs, this easily translates to Python; just call readlines(), loop over it, call split() on each line. I would think that at this point, Awk doesn't have much of an advantage anymore... but apparently your experiences are different. What are some Awk constructs that would take a lot more code in Python?
After the password being displayed in the password recovery phrase in osx and many other lapses in quality control I am no longer sure about that.
It's not $250 to receive packages when you're not home, it's $250 to receive packages securely without the possibility of them being stolen from your front porch.

And it's just a different "implementation" of many other products that have been invented to do the same thing. [0] is a "package lock box" that gives a similar result for $230. But it's ugly, won't store larger boxes, and is often harder to get your delivery people to use.

If your packages are getting repeatedly stolen, I don't think it's any more "crazy" than you replacing a faulty computer part in your PC. Yes, that's a "modern society problem" as well, but it's not crazy in the slightest...

I’m surprised that the article and the discussion here don’t assess the impact the booming short-term rental market has on keeping otherwise available inventory off the residential market. Many cities have a lot of empty dwellings on any given day, yet seemingly face a scarcity of inventory.

This is not necessarily true. Attackers with multiple sites' passwords can link users and look at their passwords. When they see some similarity of the passwords for the same user, it would take least effort for them to crack the password.

Even if it only applies to dedicated attackers, think about the consequence, once the attacker cracks your password, he knows your algorithm, all your passwords will be exposed.

And the point is the method is not more secure than using the same password for multiple sites.
Noted. Checkout Docker Playground - http://labs.play-with-docker.com/ for an interactive web based Docker environment.
Logging into a system that doesn't support your password manager, such as games consoles, shared computers, restricted work machines etc.

Copying over a really long generated password is much harder than an algo you can perform in your head.
Universal suffrage is as recent as 1906, and only for male voters was introduced in American and French revolutions. So with some back and forth, (modern, real) democracy has been steadly advancing since it was born two centuries ago, with a much clearer trend last half century.

I don't mean to sound rude, but doors are not exactly hard to get through. They are rather easy, chances are if they get a warrant it doesn't matter that Amazon can open your door, so can the police.

It's almost like companies have a right to push their own products by building things into that ecosystem. Does it also bother you that Apple doesn't develop iMessage for Android?

The web isn't a magical universal standard anymore. Every browser is different and supports different things. If you want to use something that's not supported by your browser but you're not willing to switch, that's not the developer's problem.

>Google again shoving that unwanted browser in my face.

It's almost like companies are allowed to advertise their products. I don't complain about Coca-Cola again shoving that unwanted drink in my face because their vending machines only sell Coke, and because their ads are everywhere.

At some point you're just arguing against Google, and not against the specific product in the post.
The attempt to equivocate the two parties - particularly Obama and the modern GOP - is so unreasonable that it's barely worth rebutting. The fact that Democrats take actions that are inappropriate or sponsored by lobbyists doesn't automatically make them the same.

Things did get better under Obama, in many ways. To pretend otherwise by focusing on areas that didn't get better is again unreasonable. Things are getting dramatically, markedly worse under a president who is essentially pushing standard-issue GOP agenda items. This article alone is evidence of that. Little effort need be expended for more examples.

And, for what it's worth, I'm not a straight-ticket voter.
