Absolute value is ambiguous if you have more than one occurence, like |a|b|c| could be (|a|)b(|c|) or |a(|b|)c|. But as you said, gratuitous parentheses solve this problem. A good typesetting program will also let you display the outer bars larger than the inner ones, so you can match them up even without parentheses

Just the other day I saw some file://-based exploit. Didn’t read the specifics of this, but not validating a URL’s scheme must be a very common source of problems. It’s so easy to overlook the scheme when everything is https?:// all the time. But alas, file://, it’s real, browsers attempt to work with it. Another edge to be aware of!!

> Your expectations aren’t reality

I think you miss my point. Even if the tax rates are the same, a state with a larger GDP - whether that state is South Carolina or Singapore - will have more money to spend on things like health, and government, actually, just everything - thats's why a higher GDP is so desirable.

An ambulance in Singapore can pretty much reach anyone. A hospital in SG can server anyone - that's how small it is. Who serves Idaho? The Mayo clinic? In a roundabout way yes, but not really.

Quoting US statistics and comparing them to SG is analogous to comparing the same statistics in the Bay Area and Miami.

And that all this gets wrapped up into one single country metric obfuscates the true state for most people, and leads to a lot of problems as one group struggles with a smaller, yet more visibly lacking, share.

The difference in educational levels is economic. If you correct for the income & wealth levels of the international district and match them to american districts with similar levels, you have similar academic results. There's no gap.

The issue occurs with taking averages. The United States is a rich country or a developing country depending on where you look. Few other modern industrialized nations are run this way.

Indeed, if you want the best education in the world, many people come to the American universities (public and private). These American Universities which you can name, sit like jewels surrounded by the serfdom education many Americans experience.

It is the same with primary and secondary education.

To me it also seems eminently reasonable that state governments invest in the world economy at large. Indeed, such arrangements give me hope that the world might not devolve into another devastating war.

I guess what I don't understand, and what hopefully someone could help unravel, is why the Russia state banks worked to conceal the investment. The article itself points out that "There is nothing illegal about foreign state-owned institutions investing in American companies." So what are Milner and the shell companies for? That I can tell, Milner holds no relevant board seats, so if it was a play for convert influence, it doesn't seem to have paid off yet. Was it tax scheme? Really perplexing to me what the Russian motives were here.

I wish one of these "next-generation technology" blog articles would mention Named Data Networking[1]. I think the real problem with the web is the IP protocol itself, not any higher-level protocol or particular way of using IP.

From a very high level: The Web should be built on top of a broadcast protocol, not a point-to-point protocol. If it were, many complex issues would be solved.

I agree with you whole-heartedly. The criticism of powerpoint is not so much it's broader context. There are plenty of ways to present structured data with computers promoting good-practices. The criticism is that Powerpoint doesn't encourage people to show the data in the first place.

TL;DR: This issue isn't what Powerpoint can do, it is what it nudges people to do.

Pretty sure parent is aware what "their problem" is, seeing as they have a front seat to it. ;)

And "educating the citizenry" as a feasible tactic in local races is an exercise in futility. For the cost of an educational campaign, his or her opponent (or their supporters) could run attack advertising that would certainly lose parent the election.

Aggregating like businesses and pushing for change higher up the political food chain is more effective, albeit not without its own risks.

Direct mind-to-mind communication, as hard as that is, will not be the primary challenge. Safety and defensive mechanisms will be far more challenging. We already have invasive techniques that use nothing more than images, sound, text. Direct mind access would make techniques that were far more dangerous and insidious.

Most ancient spiral galaxy
I tried to use AirBnB twice (for the same stay!)

First one the host cancelled my confirmed booking a day before we arrived because they had some family emergency or something. Airbnb agreed that the host cancelled the booking and refunded the charge on my card.

I found another place, they charged my card and then said "oh please add your Facebook info so we can confirm your booking". I don't use Facebook. Their support suggested I could "just make a video explaining who you are and why you want this place " and upload it for the host to consider.

Fuck you, fuck you very much.

When I finally got ahold of a person on the phone (I had to call international to get them) they claimed they couldn't speed up my card charge cancelation "because the bank doesn't believe we want to refund your money".

No - you're just a bunch of shits who won't accept that banks have specific practices to handle same-day credit card refunds - otherwise you wait for the charge hold to "time out" without being claimed.

Never again.

I’m still surprised the resistance-to/wailing-about Google’s placing ads inline with search results died down as quickly as it did. It’s a total shitbag move on their part.

> Absolute value is ambiguous if you have more than one occurence, like |a|b|c| could be (|a|)b(|c|) or |a(|b|)c|.

Yeah, I get the issue in general, but the quote I referenced was specifically referring to the equations from Wikipedia.

My thought is that pretty much any mathematician would not choose to use absolute value bars in a case where it would be ambiguous. For example (|a|)b(|c|) would be instead written |ac|b and |a(|b|)c| would be written |abc|. And so unless it the equations are specifically about showing properties of absolute value (in which case just use parenthesis), I don't see a case where the ambiguity would pop up in real discourse.

I didn't mean to minimize the difficulties of maintaining that many TCP connections (much less getting useful work out of them). I read the original article when it was on HN, but must have mentally thrown most of it away due to the freebsd bias. So I just reread it, and the fact that they are getting those numbers utilizing much of the OS buffer management and Nginx, is impressive by itself. But their difficulties sort of plays into my original assumptions. Basically, if you want cutting edge I/O perf your better off dumping most general purpose OS's I/O stacks unless you want to spend a lot of time re-engineering them to work around bottlenecks.

sendfile() is good, but the general concept tends to waste far to much time doing filesystem traversals, buffer management, dma scatter gather lists, and a bunch of other crap that gets in the way of getting a blob of data from the disk, encrypting it, and passing it off to a send offload to handle breaking up and apply the TCP/IP headers/checksums. Frankly the minimum MSS size is something that ipv6 should have fixed, given that no one is on 9600bps modems, but didn't.

Good for them for realizing that modern machines have a little less than a GB of bandwidth per pcie lane per direction, and memory bandwidth to match. If you don't mess up the CPU side of things you can even touch all that data once or twice and still maintain pretty amazing I/O numbers.

EDIT: Also in the case of x86 NUMA, you _REALLY_ want to make sure that the nvme/source disk, the memory buffer your writing to and the network adapter are on the same node with the core doing the encryption/etc. That is pretty easy if the "application" controls buffer allocation/pooling, but much harder with a general purpose OS which will fragment the memory pools.
If an attacker learned a Tor Browser user's real IP address yesterday, and the leak gets fixed today, can the attacker still somehow identify that user's traffic tomorrow?

For people who view camera settings as an inconvenience, then yes that sounds like an attractive thing. When using a camera as a tool, a photographer sometimes wants complete control over the capturing process. Some things you don't get to change later no matter what algorithms are involved, such as the balance between noise and exposure time.
I agree. I find that it's easier to read and write math when the notation is ambiguous, but clear in a context shared by both the reader and writer. Even in the english language, it's up to the author to gauge the audience and decide how ambiguous they want to make their sentence. If you want to be fully precise you end up with sentences like "for every epsilon greater than zero there exists a delta greater than zero such that for all x if the difference between x and y is less than zero then the difference between f(x) and f(y) is less than epsilon".

The author is prematurely optimizing math - is Leibniz notation _really_ going to cause problems, or ambiguity with the meaning of parenthesis. Out of all the things that cause me difficulties with math, notation is the least significant. If notation _is_ a problem, then that means that I don't know what I'm doing.

If you really need to be specific, there are plenty of ways to do so using the English language.
I don't know if I'm wired weirdly, but I vert rately return things. I really don't like dealing with customer service, and I kind of live by a "buyer beware" motto. One time amazon shipped me a broken AmazonBasics mouse. For $6.88 I said screw it, literally not worth my time, and just stopped doing business with Amazon.

On larger problems, I would issue a chargeback with my credit card company. I have won 4 of those for between $25 and $1500!!!

I used to have an Amazon seller account where I would ship video games and books. People who tried to return items and complain to Amazon were literally the death of my business. One chargeback wiped out the profits from 100 successful sales.

So like I said, I'm not sure if I'm wired differently, but I don't like this phenomenon and avoid it 99.99999% of the time.
The odds are low. The premise that you will write a write-through cache that is faster and less buggy than say, PostgreSQL, is one I would bet my enterprise against. It is foolhardy to dismiss the labor-years invested in databases.
I'm glad to see this mentioned but I'm not sure named data networking is based on 'broadcast' model. I think it is closer to anycasting behavior with packet delivery gated by security mechanisms to ensure delivery only occurs to an authenticated 'requester'.
I generally avoid power points - but I think the hate is misplaced. The reason people put detail in power points is because there is no expectation of prior reading/review/preparation from an audience. It makes things worse with a remote work culture where a power point gets treated as a "summary".

My nieces and nephews largely have no idea how to get anywhere. Ask them what direction to travel to get from one place they go regularly to another place they go regularly and they won't have a clue. It could be five blocks south. It could be 20 miles north. They literally have no idea.

Stop somewhere along the route and ask them what direction to go, likewise. They're just completely lost.

And yep, I blame it partly on in-car entertainment. When I was a kid, even when I was being driven somewhere, I was paying attention to the route and surroundings. The rest of it has to do with never having walked, biked, or taken public transportation anywhere.
