I used to use Tor to bypass censorship on pr0n in my country and ended up trying to run a hidden service for fun. My biggest peeve with was the domain name. I mean, sure I understand why it isn't human readable but then there are so many ways to counter that. We've got the blockchain and we have the IPFS way to handle these things too.

I'm hoping at some point blockchain DNS systems are adopted by mainstream (or niche in case of Tor) vendors. It would make it so much much easier to name onions.

Most end users have 2-4GB of RAM, it's not a choice, 'a' is the only option.
Oh absolutely (and not just journalists, but all the Apple-haters). Every year since at least 1984, "Apple hasn't come out with a new product in _weeks_! They're doooomed!"

Every single year. For at least 30 years. "Dooooooomed!"

I actually used to take GW50156. Since it's a research drug companies in the US can sell it for "research" purposes.

Yes I know it gives cancer, but the doses that were used in the study for mice were astronomical. It's the equivalent of doing the ld50 of a drug.
This is pretty interesting, and something I've played around with too (although not to the extent they have - I was playing with aligning word embedding and using them for cross lingual tasks).

Google released a paper[1] doing zero-shot translation between unseen pairs. That relied on a shared representation which they called "interlingua", and that seems quite similar to this

Discovery stacks up very well against their last attempt (Enterprise), and I like the way that they're willing to avoid fixing whatever problems show up using tachyon particles, or other magical plot devices.

It also compares very favorably to the first season of TNG, which had alot of issues even though it a some good episodes. I kind of worry about what happens when they get through the first season arc and have to come up with something interesting as that's when alot of shows tend to fall flat.
With gaze tracking, you could have hot zones bound to different shortcuts, one of which can be "Toggle floating keyboard".
The problem is that there's no reason one couldn't design a TV that had both full HD and zero boot time with instantaneous channel switching. The reason such TVs don't exist is simply engineering laziness.
You're right. Good call.
http://pages.stern.nyu.edu/~dbackus/BCH/demography/Keilman_J... is a paper on how the UN computes these numbers and their relative accuracy.

The challenge with extrapolating is that you can't know what you don't know (for example in 1975 they didn't know about AIDs) and you can't know how a society will respond (like Japan going negative in population growth).
Not sure what you mean? Usually people use either CSS 3D Transforms or WebGL, but not both.
I'd hand them over to the Chinese. To do something impactful with that amount of data requires resources that nobody else has.
Because routing is not a simple problem. Uber/Lyft pull it off because the car is in the "neighborhood" but deliveries need to have fixed hours in unpredictable conditions like traffic, people etc. Add to preferred time to the mix and the whole thing becomes even more untenable.
I'm 28 and I'm still recovering from the stimulants I took to 'help me sit still' in school.

It's part of my life's work to make sure that kind of drugging of children becomes a thing of the past. It's criminal.

Can you imagine giving a child amphetamines to 'help' them in a non-coercive environment like a Sudbury School? https://ia801305.us.archive.org/19/items/TheSudburyValleySch...
Does anyone see parallels between the flood stories and Toba?
Ok, changed back.
There is another argument, these pills don't seem to do anything for bone density even though the article suggested it for astronauts lower bone density - it appears to be an entirely muscular effect.

If one has to exercise to help build bone density anyways ( a concern for anyone who wants to have a healthy life after 40) the pill if it worked would only eliminate one component of an exercise regime.

In terms of aggregate demand in the domestic economy, anything that either is not purchased from the domestic economy or which produces a lower velocity in the domestic economy has less induced aggregate demand.

To simplify and focus on simple consumption, spending that occurs on locally-produced goods during foreign travel has does nearly nothing to increase domestic aggregate demand in the travellers home country.
I knew this was about GW50156. A version of this article has been published every six months or so in various outlets. GW50156 is widely available via research chemical sites and various underground bodybuilders/powerlifters/athletes are using it + peptides + various other drugs to skirt AAS testing.

I think you will find the self-reported side effects and gains of GW50156 to be.... much different than stories like this one portray.
> They really don't think any physical constraints are going to get in the way of that?

With enough energy you are not constrained by resource limitations.

For example irrigate the desert with desalinated water.

It's a really big planet, you could fit a lot of people on it - and animals as well.

It's irrelevant that you disagree with what he says.
Well, that kind of reminds me how in the 90s the media published articles saying that Prozac is about to make sadness disappear, and our society is about to turn into a Brave New World. Turns out it was just stealth marketing.

Pretty much. For anyone interested in how anabolic-androgenic steroids got banned in the USA, check out Bigger, Faster, Stronger - The Side Effects of Being American for a much fairer viewpoint than your high school counselor shoved on to you. tl;dr: Steroids were banned due to non-scientific scares equivalent to "poison in candy" arguments around Halloween.

The inconvenient truth is that we already have the fountain of youth [0] - it's injectable long-ester testosterone, which is cheap, easily obtainable, and safe [1].

EDIT: I see you said "pills." While safe-ish, they're much more dangerous due to liver toxicity. Injectable testosterone is much more effective, cheaper, and safer.

[0]: For men. For women, the results are different and comes with worse side effects.

[1]: Safe is a relative term. But exogenous test use done correctly is very, very safe. And compared to the alternatives that are sold, like prohormones, they're orders of magnitude safer.
Totally random factoid: Cinnabon is huge in Saudi Arabia, which is one of the few places that gives the US a run for its money in having large numbers of wealthy and morbidly obese people who drive everywhere and get virtually no exercise.

I also spotted one in Tokyo earlier this year, nestled in the shadow of the Mori Tower in one of the toniest neighbourhoods in the country. The rolls were scaled down to Japanese size expectations, but the shop was still rattlingly empty every time I passed by around 9 AM in the morning at what you'd expect to be commuter peak hour.
Never before has "2FA enabled" been more relevant.
Ah, I wondered if it was a farewell salute.
Athletes may exercise, but I suspect most of their injuries come from competing, not exercising. They are different activities.
Seriously don’t you see the hypocrisy in this. You can’t pick and choose your free speech. Just curious are you an American citizen?
They should blacklist that person, and perhaps even file charges. If this was done during the market being open, it could have caused the stock to plummet.
I believe google maps has fake streets as a canary for their maps being scraped...
Sure that's how it is today but what if Mozilla runs out of funds? Say they fail to get a lucrative search deal after the current one ends while Pocket fails to pick up the slack.

What if Microsoft doesn't ever get a significant number of users on Edge? Say websites and users alike treat it like Windows Phone.

While true, this is not the reason testosterone was banned. The AMA argued vociferously against banning it, in fact.
Wow, this is a great list. Sure beats the cliche trip to Bali.
There are plenty of ways of NOT having to type the password on linux that are functionally equivalent to keychain (e.g. sudo in some configurations)
He didn't discover an issue - he just FUD'd long enough until a few people believed he did.

That he believes there is something "suspicious" about Tor nodes because their IP doesn't match to any country or AS name in the free distribution of the GeoIP database built into Tor is just smh bad

Why he also believes bots accessing his HS has anything to do with Tor Exit nodes is also beyond me .. but he provides no evidence for any of that either
This is called testosterone.
I honestly don't understand how this is difficult for people. I can touch type without looking, on a keyboard which is moving randomly. It's not a parlour trick, it's just what's supposed to happen if you type much at all. If you can't touch type in the dark, there's something wrong with your skill or your equipment.

Or, you know, be deliberate in what you do. There is plenty of evidence showing that a "slippery slope" argument is borderline bullshit. Typically used by folks that are just trying to kill the conversation.

Meanwhile, there is the similar perverse truth that bad regulations got us into some of our current situation. In particular, the sugar and gun lobbies were remarkably effective at promoting their topics.

So, by all means, if you are just trying to rhetorically shut down conversation; keep at it. Just please don't be surprised to find nobody wants to talk back at you someday.
Imagine you are a climate scientist, and your mission is to save the world by working out how we are hurting it.

You constantly run and re-try computer models until you find one that you can publish.

After 1000 different models you build one that seems to say there is some catastrophic effect caused by by humans with 99% confidence.

The model then gets published, adds to the growing body of climate models that were made the exact same way your one was.

Tell me - do you not see what is utterly incorrect with the above process?
Sources from medical journals would be greatly appreciated here. I strongly suspect you will have a hard time sourcing your claims.
Actually, it's good you present this.

A major difference between your comment here and Linus' rant is that Linus didn't deliver personal attacks. Notice how all his vitriol is aimed at the code and not the person:

"Stop gthis (sic) fcking idiocy", not "You are an idiot"

"You trying to shift regressions somewhere else is bogus SHT", not "You are bogus sh*t"

Your comment on the other hand is mainly full of empty name-calling. Besides the fact that it accomplishes nothing, it's a personal attack instead of a clear message that "XYZ behaviour is Bad!"

That said, you are indeed indirectly evidencing that a good many people have trouble seeing a difference.

In theory you either have insurance that should cover this (more than 90% of Americans are covered), or else you'd be too poor to really even be able to afford such an operation or medical care. The system sucks, but I don't think the way the system is set up would cause a significant number of people to use free research for medical alternatives.
Article says:

> Commander Alfredo J. Sanchez, "noticed the Helmsman (the watchstander steering the ship) having difficulty maintaining course while also adjusting the throttles for speed control."

If that's true and not just an excuse for an unnecessary command, then maybe it's still difficult trying to do both at once.
>>Most of them have heart problems if any from test. Most problems they have are from different compounds like Trenbolone, GH etc. but not testosterone.

Additionally, they are stacking anabolic steroids with amphetamines and derivatives of such, as well as compounds like clenbuterol, liothyronine sodium, and even dinitrophenol.
I guess my issue with this line of thought is - how do you include the "playback device" along with the media?

So many assumptions must be made about the theoretical future inhabitants that would "discover" our culture would be capable of technologically.

How do we send the VHS tape, along with the player, instructions for how to setup the player, play the tape, output to a sensing device of some sort, and only _then_ you can possibly read only part of the data if you get that far?

I don't think I will even have photos of my kids or anything from about the last 10 years or so by the time I am in my mid fifties (not as far away as I would wish).

We still hang on to some pretty barbaric stuff because there's not currently anything better. Chemotherapy comes to mind.
The Tokyo one gets lines on weekends, but to be honest Cinnabon is just way too much relative to other food here.

Even having spent my childhood chugging Doctor Peppers and stuffing my face with pizzas, I couldn't deal with a normal-ish roll from there after being here. There's a Frijoles close to the Cinnabon, and I came away with the same feeling. Just way too much, and way too heavy.
Yeah, it was by SMS company. However, I shared this article in the recruitment groups and they pretty liked this.
> That’s why the type of company that interests me is one where ownership and the employees are truly in it together,

> Everyone at a company – owners and employees alike – need to be sitting on the same end of the seesaw

Never mind that the founders or CEO will have 1000X more equity than you, employee (if you have equity at all). You're in it together!
I noted in an earlier thread Obama was lauded for his use of data science and big data:
https://www.technologyreview.com/s/509026/how-obamas-team-us...

We have come a long way since then. Data collection has become even more pervasive. And with such tools existing they were bound to back fire at some point of time. Sure people might blame FB etc for this but then whose fault is that the data collection is so pervasive.
Apparently Joe has never experienced being in a group suffering systemic abuse by their supervisors in ways that are not only barely legal but generally cruel. I have sometimes wondered what would happen if the only H1B visas that were issued were issued to union shops. Sort of a pre-built defense against some of the abuses.

I have also seen union abuse, I was a member of the Culinary Union in Las Vegas as a busboy (everyone had to be) and they did not make it easy on the restaurateurs.

The bottom line seemed to be that without some oversight ability somewhere, the more powerful group (unions or management) seems to have a tendency to abuse the other group.

EDIT: I was reminded by an old friend that it was the Culinary union not the Catering union. Corrected.

The problem is how do you educate users on these prompts.

Same way you educate people on how to vote: functional literacy [0]. If people are functionally illiterate, they are going to struggle in all sorts of ways. One of the big drawbacks of our society is that its complexity seems to be growing without bound. This places ever-higher demands on people's ability to read, interpret, and act upon important information in their daily lives.

I'm looking for my first job in software development after 10+
years in visual effects for films as a technical director. I
worked at world class studios (Lucasfilm/ILM, Disney, and
Dreamworks) on killer films (Avatar, King Kong, Madagascar, and
the Matrix sequels).

I have a BA in Applied Math with a CS focus from UC Berkeley. I

The risk is pretty much the opposite of what you think it is. One gives access to your bank account. The other you are protected from paying fraudulent charges.
What would Washington do if they passed this bill and Twitter said "No, we aren't following it"? Fines. Deploying US Marshals to their headquarters and server farms. Arresting high level executives.

So that's the worst case; the reality will be somewhere between that and doing nothing.

Within the bounds of the Constitution, Washington can regulate however its people's representatives see fit. Over the past 20 years, most people have sided with companies like Google and Facebook because they produce products that are amazing and addicting. This tide is changing; their products are becoming less and less novel, and its becoming increasingly apparent that horribly few of these companies act with any sense of ethical responsibility or discretion.
It’s not the source though. He basically posts his reactions to stuff he hears on Fox and Friends. It’s pretty well known that he can keep his attention on primary source briefings that every other president has relied upon before him.

Unless you count a thousand word CNN article about a short tweet as news. I don’t. I skip those articles because basically it’s just journalists being baited.
Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? is always an apt question when someone argues against or for unions. There are no easy answers though.

If you don't need the cash right now, and are okay with not getting a return on your investment for many years (if ever), go for it. Just make sure you vet the opportunity as an investor would, not as an employee or contractor would.

This means understanding the company's team, product, market, financial condition etc. You also need to understand the full cap table and who has liquidation preferences, how your shares might get diluted, and other such factors. If you don't intimately understand what all those terms mean, don't do it.

If there is a current valuation that probably means they either have raised significant amounts of capital in the past or have significant revenue. Which raises the question of why they'd even be willing to pay a premium to compsensate you in equity.

Or maybe we could just play loud patriotic music over loudspeakers every morning, and use armed guards to force people to fall out for PT.

"cars could be banned from city centers to make room for bicycle lanes and lush pedestrian zones, parking lots could be required to be at least half a mile from offices and shopping malls,"

Those CAs are at least accountable to browser vendors. (Symantec, for example, is currently in the process of having their root certs distrusted by Chrome and Firefox as a result of their violations of the BRs.) The same can't be said of private root certs like this.
First of all, actually, no, a "local app" can't do that. The problem is that the machine doesn't have a globally reachable address, and that's not something that you can solve by changing the software on the machine, you need some external service that provides you with a globally reachable address and a way to forward connection requests for that address to your machine. That is a service that the Tor network provides.

Obviously, Tor is not the only solution to this problem, but it is one that has the nice property that you don't need to register any accounts, you don't need to pay for anything, the availability of the Tor network is pretty good ...

Also I am not so sure I would call it a side effect, for two reasons:

1. Any application that grows the anonymity set of Tor is useful for the goals of the Tor network. Even if your SSH session does not have any use for the anonymity that Tor provides, it still is good for the Tor network that you add cover traffic to the network for those who need it.

2. Decentralization has a lot of overlap with anonymity, and as such I would consider this use actually to be well within the use cases that Tor is intended for: ISPs build networks that increaslingly make it difficult to use your own devices for anything more than consuming content that is delivered from the network, thus contributing to the growth of the kind of centralized services that don't provide any anonymity at all. Using Tor to access your own machines and thus enabling you to build infrastructure that is not inspected by third parties is very much aligned with the goals of the Tor project.
That just gave me an idea. What if it were the norm to be paid in cryptocoins linked to the value of the company you worked for? So instead of making 100K a year, you made 100 AnyCorpCoins, which the company's internal payroll exchange or any compatible cryptoexchange will change for dollars happily? The company could peg the coins at their own employee-only values to prevent major market fluctuations from devaluing your salary, and it allows employees and non-employees to earn stake in the company simply by holding the coins. Thoughts?
