I think C can be a good introductory language, but it should definitely be coupled with a CS textbook so you understand why C offers the things it does.

I definitely agree that C++ should be picked up later, though. Stroustrup's A Tour of C++ - https://www.amazon.com/Tour-C-Depth/dp/0321958314 - is a good introduction, I think.

Actually, "all the security checks" is inaccurate; it seems to enable certain special powers in JS. It turns off one security measure. These special powers seem to be enough to compromise other stuff; but again, if you're in a position to flip that switch you already can compromise other stuff.
Not really sure about the headphone jack blocker; I'm not aware of an OS where the sound source can't be trivially switched in software, even when headphones are plugged in.

The likelihood is that if an attacker has the ability to record audio, they also have the ability to bypass this device.
Equalities that involve units aren't straightforward. Not a physicist of any sort but don't all the 1's still fundamentally change the equality since they change the units? I would guess they therefore implicitly change the intuition behind these equations?

Confession as an AI researcher; seeking advice
The question for cursive should be, Can the intended audience--yourself next week, your friend when USPS delivers-- read it? Some of the older generation of my family wrote a cursive hand that was regular, even handsome, but very hard to read. My own is not so handsome, though I think about as legible as my non-cursive lettering, but I don't use it much.
Conclusion: top 5% patent holders (== "star scientists" according to the authors) in the private sector can be tempted to relocate from higher tax jurisdictions to lower tax jurisdictions. It seems that a sustained multi-year tax differential helps increase migration, because the subject people don't respond right way.
Whether Lyft treats drivers better is very debatable. After 180 days of change campaign that Uber did many drivers believed Uber is better for them than Lyft. But Lyft also takes smaller cut of fare compared to Uber (Lyft also charges way less in my city so drivers get paid pretty much the same.) Both companies screw their drivers in one way or the other but Lyft does it with smiles and fist bumps. Source: I spend more time on uber/lyft drivers subreddits than i would like to admit.
In the article they've trained the AI to predict what frames the game would provide given a certain input, but to demonstrate its effectiveness they show the original game given a certain input, side-by-side with the AI's prediction given the same input. I sure hope that wasn't part of the training set. Teaching an AI to recognise something it's already been taught and mirror it relatively closely isn't an achievement...
Do those red lines actually correlate to the dots or did they just collect noisy data and draw totally random lines? Analyzing the "Destination state" and "Dest origin differential" it would appear that the drawn in red lines are actually facing the wrong way. In the "Destination state" graph the trend is strongly opposite to the line.

* A driver just got an asshole customer who threatened to make up false accusations if they didn't give them a bonus ride for free. What do you do?

* Nobody -- drivers and customers -- outside of the nerdsphere has heard of your app, so nobody is using it. What do you do?

* Some customers are using stolen credit cards, and drivers are mad at you that those fares end up getting chargebacked. What do you do?

* There's a city where people are allegedly using your platform for nefarious or extra-legal purposes. The local government is mad at you and demands answers. What do you do?

Your post is an excellent example of "I know nothing about managing X, so probably X is quite simple and easy to do." It's the same attitude that leads people to believe that they "could probably implement Facebook in a weekend."

The Truth About the Intel’s Hidden Minix OS and Security Concerns
Indeed. The reputations of Virgil and Homer rise and sink relative to each other periodically. I guess that a scholar of these matters could say what factors cause this. Virgil seems to have had the greater reputation during the Enlightenment--does his stock rise when society feels a greater attraction to order, and Homer's when the order gets to feel burdensome?
Been there, done that :) It's a neat trick, but the issue for me is that you still need to pass a separate struct for state which breaks the illusion enough that you might as well just write an ordinary iterator.

> Mining pool operators are in a position to manipulate the markets.

I don't know what this fixation is on hashrate. As long as it doesn't drop to low enough a level for someone who wants to attack it to be successful, it doesn't make any difference to the coin's functionality.

Anyone with the ability to buy or sell a large amount of crypt can manipulate the markets. This holds doubly true in the middle of the night on a weekend.
I guess managers are a disorder then.
It is interesting that this is a summary of a published journal article and yet suffers from a rather glaring flaw.

The paper looks at corporate and income tax but completely ignores sales tax, so it treats Oregon as being the highest tax state (with a 9.1% income tax rate, 0 sales tax) while a state like Texas is treated as a 0% income tax state when it has an 8.25% sales tax rate for major urban areas.

Looking at their scatter plots the correlations they present look weak (the summary doesn't provide the numbers) and there is no credible theory for causation.

"Star Scientists" (defined as 99th percentile income earners, 300K+) don't make location decisions based on taxes, they make decisions based on who has the infrastructure to support their work and money to pay them.

Corporations might make decisions based on tax policy and they might have to take employee income taxes into account when creating a competitive compensation package for a high value employee, but one or two percentage points on the salary of a few high end employees is not going to move the needle on the overall corporate budget.

Obviously taxes are part of the big picture for corporations deciding where to locate but they are probably not a big part. A state advertising low taxes may be signalling that they are "business friendly" but they are also signalling that they have an overall poor business environment and are desperate to get people in the door.

Market theory suggests that taxes will adjust to an efficient level which is the maximum that individuals and corporations are willing to pay to locate somewhere. Consequently, you can judge that high tax states like California offer the best environment for business because the market is willing to pay their high taxes in order to locate there, while a hypothetical no-tax locale would be the worst environment for business because even a small tax would cause residents to leave.

Yeah, I was with them all the way up until this point. Especially considering that the decided-upon solution was just to bugger it and make the development application public. Maybe iOS doesn't support SSH tunnels...
I did a similar price but for a bit more traction - we had about 3k MAU but they were all really obsessed with the product.

I had a lot of debt at the time and not a lot of options. Was burnt out. And I hated my target market (they were literally cultish).

I think I could have gotten more for it, but we'll never know. We calculated the value as the revenue but the acquriers looked at downloads, number of emails in the database, brand name.

The trick is don't talk about price if you don't want to sell. Just keep going, keep getting good growth until it hits a plateau where you'd like to stop.

Take that with a grain of salt. Coffee is a diuretic, but unless you're drinking very strong syrupy stuff, it should contain more water than it makes you pee.

Isn't choasmonkey just randomly restarting virtual servers on Amazon?

Kudos to Netflix, but restarting a virtual server vs a physical or a whole data center are different things.

I think every company that cares a bit about high availability knocks out stuff randomly or at least in different ways, does stuff like introducing packet loss, etc. It's another layer and another thing to test that on service/virtual server layer than on close to physical layers.

Of course, one should test that too and it's nowhere near impossible, but Chaosmonkey is for a somewhat different use case.

Also the "article" mentions that tests are done.
I need no convincing that decisions get made based on tax rates.

However, I call "correlation is not causation" on this particular article. It is highly possible that tax increases and migration are both linked to some third variable ('local conditions') and the /Testing the validity of the results/ section of the article does not convince me that this possibility has been ruled out. Establishing why there is a link here requires more information.

I have observed that governments hate raising taxes because it upsets voters. In practice, resistance to raising debt takes a back seat to upsetting voters. If a government is raising taxes, in my experience, the economy is struggling and making up the government budget with debt isn't an option (for whatever reason). It is possible that rate of tax follows a similar principle where prosperous regions need a lower rate to achieve a better result.
Indeed, nothing but nuclear power can make that feasible. Although, there are few small depressions in Lop Nur below the sea level.

One of the most crazy theories thrown on it is that the weight of the water will eventually make Lop Nur's plate to subduct a hundred meters or more, making the operation a little bit cheaper
Why Do Intellectuals Oppose Capitalism?
Apart from the other ideas for picking up load, if you have land for it, then there are many productive ways to use excess generation capacity that can still be reliable, especially if a conventional resistive load is available on standby. Some methods can even bolster the DC’s own opex. None are cheaper than a resistive load, but I wonder if the resistive load was modeled as requiring high availability, then what is the pricing of the excess capacity?

* Plasma arc garbage incineration. Not smelly if the input arrives in a ceramic sealed container.

* Glass cullet smelter producing glass foam insulation bricks. Turn excess power into additional DC modular insulation. My personal favorite, because this is a giant resistive load that directly supports the DC’s bottom line.

* Aluminum recycling smelter. Build additional heat sinks for increasing rack efficiency.

* Distilled water generation. Route it back through water chillers, cut down on mineral scaling damage over time.
Oregon is an outlier, but with other states: TX vs. CA, you have no state income tax but you do have a sales tax while California has both. Property taxes also matter; but CA property taxes are also higher.

Really what needs to be done is a measure of effective tax rates.
2018 Most Anticipated Car Has Arrived
I mean, sure, mass is energy. We all know that. And still, this is a great article. It ties together many concepts that I've read about.
> and you would expect everyone to switch back

That happened when BCH was new. What happened then was that everyone switched to BTC, the BCH chain stopped completely for a few hours, and then BCH's extra difficulty adjustment rule kicked in and lowered the difficulty a lot, so everyone switched to BCH again. That oscillation was leading to periods of nearly zero blocks and periods of nearly a block per minute for the BCH chain. To prevent that, some BCH supporters left enough miners in the BCH chain that the extra difficulty adjustment rule didn't kick in, even when it was less profitable.

From what I've read, this time there's a difference: in a few days, BCH (or at least some of it) will have a hardfork which changes the extra difficulty adjustment rule. I haven't seen a good explanation of the new rule so far (only complaints that it was unilaterally decided by some developers), but depending on how it works this might be the last time miners can get thousands of blocks in a few days, which would explain why this time there's so much hash power in the BCH chain. And depending on how it works, there might be no longer a need for BCH supporters to keep enough miners in the BCH chain to prevent the extra difficulty adjustment rule from kicking in, so it's even possible that every miner switches to BTC at once.

On the other hand, if the new extra difficulty adjustment rule works, jumping from one chain to the other might become less profitable, so some miners might decide to stay on the BCH chain permanently. These miners might be now selling their BTC for BCH, which would neatly explain the rise in the BCH price and the drop in the BTC price.
ISDS, copyright, patent provisions (and others) removed from new TPP [pdf]
Do you have any citations or figures to back up your claims?
There is certainly an argument to be made that, for many of the uses that people have for "bitcoins", BTC and BCH are close substitutes. Conversely, a "jstanleytoken" is probably not a close substitute for either BTC or BCH, and is certainly not a close substitute for dollars.

Another way of looking at this is to observe the market cap of both currencies after a fork; in theory you'd expect the total market cap to remain unchanged, since the newly forked currency is presumably either worthless OR has worth only to the extent that it removes value from the original currency. In practice, this doesn't seem to be occurring.
Comparable to Windows. Windows is a high-profile target for web browsing so you're seeing more exploits.

Web browser escapes usually target the operating system kernel in order to break out of the sandbox. Chrome can reduce its attack surface on Linux using seccomp, and while there's a win32 syscall filter on Windows 10, I'm not sure if Chrome uses it. Windows has stronger kernel self protection features than Linux, but also more attack surface.

Chrome uses Linux namespaces (like LXC/Docker/...) for isolation in addition to seccomp-bpf.

Chrome is by far the most secure one right now, but as evidenced by this blog article, Firefox is catching up.
Meanwhile, in real physics, there's a well-defined difference between the norm of a vector and one of its components. Mass is Lorentz-invariant, energy is not.

Biological animals are amazingly good at crude statistical approximations. That's how we perform the vast majority of tasks - we make educated guesses that are reasonably close, then correct those guesses as new information becomes available. Computers have historically been very good at getting exact answers to simple problems, but very bad at approximating a solution to more complex problems.

Computers that can interact with the real world are computers that can make quick, reasonably accurate guesses based on incomplete information. Hugely important tasks like speech recognition and autonomous driving are practically impossible without using approximate statistical methods. Machine learning is the key framework that allows us to attack those real-world problems.
Couldn’t agree more! I think so much about this. What on earth gives anyone the impression anyone will care about us or our minutia in the future?

The fact is of the billions of humans on earth, almost all of them are either too low on resources or interest to even care about how things like the solar system or genetics operate, mysterie that humans have wondered for millennia and are only being unlocked now. It’s made me think that for most humans it’s enough to kind of wonder and enjoy the mysteries.

As a child I grew up upper middle class with kids who had time and resources to find out all kinds of things but most people including me just wasted most of our time, taking more interest in basic human interactions and intrigues than knowledge. It’s how humans are I think.

What makes anyone think some distant ancestor or researcher will care about us? I find it unlikely and kind of transparently desperate to think so. It’s liberating to know no one will care and I can die and have the freedom to just fade into oblivion and that no one but some AI will taken interest in my Gmails.
It's always worth rereading this when it comes up just for the last line:

"Many people (even bwk?) have said that the worst feature of C is that switches don't break automatically before each case label. This code forms some sort of argument in that debate, but I'm not sure whether it's for or against."

I crack up every time.
Income and Corporate Tax tax (and disincentivize) production, Sales Tax taxes consumption.

IMO the latter is preferable because of the above plus it doesn't accrue.
Because if any core OS had to contain every feature which is deemed "simple" then that OS will become bloated and complex.
SpaceX was awarded $1.6 billion for 12 cargo missions 10 years ago. Given their current pricing, that sounds a lot like public investment...

The model is simply different in Europe where public money funds most of the development costs: market size is smaller in Europe (compared to US institutional market for example), geographic return makes things more complicated and it is of course all about independent space access.

Finally, all US institutional satellites must be launched on American launchers ("Buy American Act"), which is not the case in Europe. Free market, were you saying?
