Perhaps think of listening as a direct equivalent to reading.

People who focus enough will read a book at the right speed their brain can best process the information. But that speed is not the same for everyone, some people will go through a book twice as fast as others while extracting the same amont of learnings, and we won’t tell them they read at the wrong speed.

If it’s true for books, why would it be different for audio contents ?

There’s really no special rule that makes 1x playback a golden speed, especialy considering some podcaster speak faster in person than when they record for instance. Or the otherway round, podcats like ATP have the silences auto-trimmed to some extent making it denser than when they record.

To each their speed.
And Vitalik is 1000 times more liquid than owners of private equity.

People need cryptocurrency to be illiquid for their peace of mind instead of just facing the reality that they made bad choices.
What was wrong with IPMI for out of band management? What problem was ME actually solving?
It looks better as a graph ;-)
Which frameworks do this?
Yeah, I have a few blind friends and the screen readers are just insanely fast. I got to the point where I could understand most of what one said at max speed; granted this was back in the late 90s so the voice tech wasn't what it is today.
AWS is a 3-letter agency from now on :)
I have found my experience similar to the person you are responding to. With my Apple Watch I still see notifications, but I devote very little time to the interruption before dismissing most of it. It doesn't distract me long enough to derail my train of thought, and it is hard to get sucked into the Internet through the watch. I am working on tuning my notifications to just essentials, but even at full blast it has been a net win so far.
The original impetus for SSL/TLS was to permit credit card transactions. For a long time only banking websites and retail checkout pages were encrypted. In that light it makes more sense why the industry focused so heavily on certificate authorities. People were told never to enter their credit card number unless the "secure" icon was displayed; if it did, then they could trust the site much like they would trust any brick & mortar store.

Back in the early days you couldn't get a certificate without faxing in a copy of your business registration. A certificate authority's digital imprimatur implied something substantial about the credibility of a site, however imperfect the process. But as the certificate authority market diversified there was a race to the bottom in terms of credible certificate authorities. We've been at that bottom for so long that it does seem ridiculous that we didn't have Let's Encrypt earlier.
Abandoned ruins of Soviet space shuttles
Yeah, this. The condensed games actually include some time where the clock is stopped, too-- eg, the couple seconds leading up to a snap, or whatever. My least favorite part is sometimes they cut out what a penalty was called for and what the impact was.
I think SSH and HTTPS have very different use cases, which is why their cert structure is different. Most people ssh to servers they either own or have a working relationship with. Https, on the other hand, is very often used to connect to sites that you have no relationship with, but you still want to know that you are connecting to who you think you are.

SSH works on the premise that you should know, or have a way to check, the key for the server you are connecting to. That really doesn't happen with HTTPS.
I see two major problems with sites like NYT and WaPo:

1. There is important news they choose not to cover, especially for political reasons. (The news they do cover is usually of better quality than most.)

2. Their opinion pieces are frequently poorly thought out.
This is the sort of thing that led to the decline of the Soviet economy, which had been doing very well up until that point. People nowadays usually remember the creaking Soviet economy of the late 1980s, but from the late 1920s to Stalin's death, the Soviet economy grew by leaps and bounds. While the US was in a depression, Russia was building massive steel plants in Magnitogorsk. In fact Russia didn't even have enough manpower to do it, so imported American and European labor, and contracted to American and European firms.

The aim was to build up the means of production (capital, in western parlance) to western levels.

However when Stalin died, and the revolutionaries of 1905 and 1917 died and faded away, the second generation of Khrushchev's and the like slowed down the infrastructure capital spending and started increasing consumer production and freebies like this. A number of other things happened as well around this time, but all in the same direction - capital spending went lower, sops to the populace started, and a long economic, and then political decline set in. This sop was part of that. Ultimately, the money to keep up the park came out of capital spending, leading to the decline of the USSR on some level.
It's the other way around: you might not (in fact, probably do not) need React.

Start with server-side rendering, and move to React if your application's dynamism demands it. Most applications don't. It's painful to see so many websites building huge, slow, JS-rendered monsters for one or two dynamic elements per page. Unless you are Facebook (and have your JS cached within one hop of every internet POP in the world), server-side rendering is going to yield performance wins for nearly all visitors.

TDP matters for serious work. Over normal work periods, that ipad is going to continue to operate at a fairly high frequency while the iphone will throttle because it can't dissipate as much heat. Dissipation and size affect many other parts of system design too (eg, memory speed, width, and size).
Markets with imperfect information are less efficient. If everyone knew which products were shit, then yeah, warrantees do take away freedom. But by providing a floor on product quality, consumers are freed from needing to do a large amount of research to determine which products will last (research, which, might I add, is still imperfect. Even the best products have defects protected by warrantees).

Also, warrantees force companies to bear the full cost of their negative externalities. In lots of markets, companies will come out ahead by not fixing or replacing your product (brand damage < actual damage), so those businesses are motivated directly into misleading consumers into buying worse products. Sounds obvious, but clearly that's not good for a society in the long run.
Does anyone else just use issues or markdown files in the repo for this?
> Because my business/personal information would be associated with the certificate or something?

Exactly. EV certs are tied to a business, and said business' identity is verified in the process. Where for a domain validated (DV) cert the CA only verifies that you control the domain/the server it is pointing to, an EV cert also has the business name (and browsers generally show that). If you own ringaround.com, I can register ringaround.io and get a cert for that and try to impersonate your website to users, but I'll have a harder time getting an EV cert for ringaround Ltd.

The limitation of course it that this requires users to actually check/notice the cert isn't an EV one, which is why the usefulness of EV is questioned.
Fun fact: many desktop printers can hit 3kbps in V40L QR codes (biggest + lowest ECC).

(Estimated at approx 10ppm by 20KiB per code.)

For the security conscious on a budget, printing QR codes to scan to a networked machine can be a way to get information off an otherwise air-gapped machine, with easy introspection and auditing. (This came up in the context of offline signing of Bitcoin transactions with a "warm" wallet -- digital, but airgapped from the "hot" wallets.)

> Is it? (I honestly have no idea about Lisp.)

In Lisp you can modify the read table at run time, so you can do whatever you want. The functions the reader calls when it comes across '(', ')', ' ', and every other character are all completely customisable.
Try turning WebM off in about:config.

Otherwise it's a known bug. Apparently not enough people complained about it so it is perceived to not be a blocking bug for 57.
People with $1.1B in "paper equity" have more avenues to acquire cash flow than simply selling their illiquid paper.
My comment is meant to apply to all ends of the traditional political spectrum. I myself do not believe that talking about left or right brings much to the table, because regardless of rhetoric, they all tend to become part of a 3rd group (incumbents) once elected and in office for a little while.
No. The dossier has neither been discredited nor substantiated. It was Republican opposition research (I don't think we know what candidate or group funded it) and then was later picked up by someone connected to Hillary Clinton after the Republican primary was over.

AFAIK, there's no more or less reason to believe it now than there was when it first came out.
In our Western post-Enlightenment society, most of the beneficial aspects of Christian practice were adopted into secular practice. Consider: charity for the needy, monogamous marriage, burial of the dead, a 7th day of rest.

We haven't adopted as many practices from other religions. We eventually (1800s) adopted regular washing from Islam, but adoption was slowed by its taint of foreignness, much to the chagrin of millions of people who died of disease. The stretching aspects of yoga became mainstream within the last 50 years. Meditation and yoga breathing are still exotic. Perhaps some day they won't be, and our descendants will wonder how people from our era stayed sane without daily meditation.

The https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Art_of_Living_Foundation teaches meditation and yoga breathing worldwide, including regular classes in the Bay Area, if you want to try it yourself.
I would care more about how it hits the bull’s eye than what we did find. This deep understanding of things irrelevant to our day to day being should disturb, not the place where it was uploaded (semi-joking here).

Seriously, articles/considerations like this are completely unexpected and alien to native russian media.
The thing is that:

1. TOFU won't scale - if I have a single SSH host, I can easily verify the server key out of band, and then never change it (though that's quite an insecure proposition if you ask me). How would you do this to _every single website you visit?_ And if you don't verify out-of-band (like calling up the host), how do you know that you're not being massively MITMed? And then when you leave your house and go to an airport and get a "your certificate changed", all it means is that _now_ you're connecting to the real page, and not MITM page.
And even if you verified the original cert and now get a "site certificate has changed". It could mean that the owner rotated his private key. What do you do? 99% will just say "false alarm, ignore, move on".

2. WoT - It's a false sense of security. You're trusting that random people on the internet will 1. Bother doing _any_ verification before signing someone's key and 2. People will keep their private keys safe from botnets. And the network has perverse incentive - the less verification a group does, the more cross-signing they'll do, the more "trusted" it is.
I wish they would make Microsoft IIS a first class citizens. If they are true to their mission they should set any political reasons aside, and provide official support for all platforms. AFAIK there are no technical reasons that prevents them to implement support for IIS and Azure Web Sites. There are a number of user created solution for both, that works well, but i would feel more comfortable with using that in production with official vendor support. So either Microsoft should fund this or lets encrypt should and i wonder why none of them has.

I assume they mean Extended Validation?

Basically the only difference is that it gets you a green badge in the URL bar with the name of your business: https://i.stack.imgur.com/xmMnB.png

In practice, very few sites actually need EV. Domain validation is usually enough. (Troy Hunt wrote a pretty good article on this a while back: https://www.troyhunt.com/on-the-perceived-value-ev-certs-cas...)
> I doubt the web will ever be fully encrypted. There will always be tons of people who don't care enough.

I'm one of those people. The grocery list app I use doesn't use SSL and I don't really care because it's just my grocery list lol.
I'm a bit rusty myself (all those small mistakes I made). I'm now more concerned with the engineering side of error correction (elegant implementations and more importantly a totally new class of dynamic error correction I have in another GitHub project). I can't recommend any good up-to-date textbook - haven't read any in long time.
Right. I think virtually everyone reading the BBC would know what Harvard is; MIT less so (especially when written out more formally and not referenced by acronym).

In the context of saying that MIT is highly respected for math(s), it was then important to point out that Harvard is also highly respected in the subject (and not, say, a globally-known liberal arts college that might be surprisingly weak in math).

Still, it amused me.
See Raytheon “High Speed Guard” description:

Time Magazine’s Top Gadgets of 2017
I find the watch helps, because you distil your digital interactions down to a small number of important ones. Then go about your life without the constant pull of your phone nearby.

The new Series 3 LTE watch has enough battery to get me through the day. The only notifications I have enabled are messages, phone calls, and reminders.

I leave my phone at home but I'm still available for the important things.
My email client only tells me that my local MTA has accepted it, which tells me nothing about whether Debian has accepted it, let alone whether the BTS accepted the format of my email,

Is this hard to make reliable? Do other Debian contributors have these problems?

I rarely hear of people having to babysit sending email, and by far it most frequently comes from inside my head when I'm mucking about with my server config, but aside from that email just works.
I still remember the reports on TV from there at the time. Initially there was a flat out denial that anything happened at all, but once the scale of the catastrophe became clear (within about a day), and it became clear that it can’t be swept under the rug, we started seeing the coverage of unbelievable heroics that people would demonstrate. I mean literally firefighters pouring water into the molten reactor core by standing at the edge of it, and then dying the same day from radiation poisoning. The radiation was so strong that the TV helicopter filming the reactor from above (which in itself was heroic given the kinds of shit suspended in the air) would show the most radioactive part with sort of a haze. Endless streams of trucks pouring concrete, etc, etc. It was 30 years ago so I don’t remember much, but man to get the Secretary General to admit such a bad fuckup — that was something truly extraordinary.
The GP is simply wrong on many/most of its technical claims. ACPI implementations were common for 4+ years before the ME existed. The ME is not involved in DRAM refresh or initialization at all (other than waiting for it to complete..). DRAM refresh is hardened into the IMC, and the initialization SW runs on the x86_64 cores - typically it's a UEFI binary blob provided by Intel. Once the OS is running, it manages the IOMMU, and the IOMMU itself is a hardened function; the translations that it performs for the OS do not involve the ME. And so on.

Though the ME currently performs some complex early initialization tasks, the notion that a modern x86_64 platform simply cannot work, or cannot work efficiently, without the ME running indefinitely/alongside the OS is plainly wrong.
Why a Chinese Communist Party Branch at UC Davis Was Disbanded
No they aren’t. They’re just a snapshot that works when the internet is broken, or when you can’t trust the internet.

Nobody is supposed to modify those files. They’re just a local replica.
I was going to recommend “How to Prove It”, if someone doesn’t know proofs already.
Ability to do if…else doesn’t imply being Turing complete. Neither does the ability to retry operations.

An easy way to see that is that “Turing complete” implies “can be used to simulate any Turing machine”, which in turn implies “suffers from the halting problem”. Consequently, any language that doesn’t suffer from the halting problem cannot be Turing complete.

So, for example, any language that doesn’t allow backwards jumps, or only uses loops with numbers of iterations that are provably finite at compile time isn’t Turing complete.
Honestly I've been holding back on going with lets encrypt at my 9-5, partly because certificates through namecheap/comodo are only $9.95 per year. I'm surprised by how much market share it has already, time to jump on board. I imagine paid for certificates will be dead in a few years.
How Evil Is Tech?
See, I've never gotten a chance to use it before but I've heard great things with how well Windows Continuum performed and worked overall. One person told me it was like being on their desktop for basic things. It's hard to compare much with Continuum since it was essentially killed with the Windows Phone.

It's a neat idea, ultimately, but I think we're a few years away from a good way to do it UX wise.
I really wonder what the purpose of these kinds of articles are. Millionaires become billionaires? People who attend prestigious universities get rich?
Absolutely agree. A few podcasts I listen to that I would consider very high production quality I can easily do 2x and some of the more casual content ones I have pushed to 3x. However, some of the fringe, sounding like they are recorded on a phone become difficult to understand even at 1.5x.
I'm not sure how the US got so hopelessly divided between the red and the blue tribes, or how to fix it. Is it the 24 hour news cycle? Is it a consequence of the office of the President encouraging the personalisation of politics? Is it just the level of sophistication that political parties have reached in their weaponisation of messaging?

All I know is that it doesn't have to be like this. It's certainly not like this in Australia. My mother and I certainly disagree on politics (in fact all the men in my family disagree with all the women) but it's never actually caused any arguments -- at least not since I reached adulthood. The idea that someone might have a falling out with someone else over politics in Australia is nearly unthinkable (absent a tiny number of crazy ideologues that you probably won't meet after you leave uni).

People here aren't all neutral -- I certainly have a strong dislike for the politicians on the other side of the aisle -- but nobody bothers to extend that dislike to also disliking that party's voters, because they're probably your family or at least friends.
The thing is I find my iCloud files are forming a canonical documents folder across my devices, whereas I always felt Dropbox was distinct from my documents folder.
For me, I would never have bothered securing my personal site and small project sites with SSL. With Lets Encrypt they are all SSL now. I assume many devs with side sites are doing the same, but that may be just a drop in the bucket.
The Education of Mark Zuckerberg
The GGP made claims about these journalists in particular; I don't see anything to back up those claims.

Also, I know people like to criticize journalists (despite having no domain expertise in journalism), but let's raise our standards to making well-supported, informative statements:

> A journalist without domain expertise or the support of a domain expert without an agenda related to the subject-matter of the reporting is crippled ...

A developer who is illiterate also is limited, but that isn't meaningful. It tells us nothing about any particular developer or about the population of developers.

> it's absolutely the case that most journalists covering complex domains don't have an educational background in the domain

That's a very broad statement, about every journalist who covers every "complex" domain. How many have backgrounds in what domains?

And it implies that lacking educational background means they don't understand the field they cover. Certainly that's not true. Many people I know lack an educational background in their professions; many Silicon Valley legends have no educational background. Some lawyers run large companies, including financial companies, despite lacking MBAs or any financial education. As I wrote in another HN post, Herbert Simon won a Nobel Prize in Economics, won a Turing Award, wrote the book on industrial organization, was a leader in cognitive psychology, and his educational background was political science.

A journalist who has covered finance for decades certainly has domain expertise.
I think they just mean to post a link that points to the change you tried to make (and the subsequent ones). I think Wikipedia keeps a record of all the changes?
That... is not very dynamic.

I'm sorry, I'm looking at your example link and you should be getting rendering times in the sub 40ms range. Unless that's not a representative example of course.

Nothing in there seems particularly un-reusable.
