> Not all (or even, I would wager, most) were anti-immigration working class voters.

If you re-read the above you'll see that I didn't claim to have data on the matter. I'm perfectly open to the idea that a large share of the leave vote is anti-immigration (although that sentiment itself has a broad range of meanings from intolerant to reasoned), but my point was to highlight the perception of leave voters as being generally xenophobic members of the working class as being inaccurate or at the very least, a broad stroke of the brush. Through discussing the vote with the other leavers I know, not once was immigration mentioned as a concern, and we all work in average-to-senior software roles, not Dave the van man who rants about Polish people coming for his job.
Some improvement can come from just improved planning in the cities we already have. Relaxed zoning for density, exclusive corridors for mass transit, etc.
> The real story is the one no one has been talking about. The US has been the world's largest economy for the past 100-150 years. In another ~10 years, that will no longer be the case. Every year that passes afterwards, the US is going to fall further and further behind China, until it eventually gets lapped some time in the mid-21st century. It's going to be "interesting" to see what happens then.

With competent governance, max size of the economy is linearly tied to population, with some wiggle room for natural resources.

This is why Japan was always going to level off, and why China is going to be on top.

Absolutely. I used to be a great believer in the Cloud until I ran into file-loss problems with Dropbox while travelling in a foreign country where I had a very small monthly internet allowance (2 gig per month).

Since then I have run my own internet file server over the last 5 years. It's not liable to 3rd party terms of use, and it's more secure from unwanted 3rd party access.
It was a pretty common case of swimmer’s ear. Oral and ear anti biotics were prescribed, along with advice not to swim for awhile and later to wear ear plugs. It was all very standard.

Right. But "don't apply the patch!" is sort of circling as well, because (presuming the Blackhat disclosure is workable, it sounds like it will be but fingers crossed) we might be able to play with our MEs.

Something that is kind of unique to Go is it's crypto libraries. Using the crypto libraries in some useful way would be interesting.

I see a lot of these dismissive corrections when talking about Go and Gophers and just wondered how relevant the original gopher protocol was in your day to day? Like, when did you last request data using gopher?
That makes a lot of sense.

I'm reminded of a UAV doing the same thing. It ran L4 for low-level control, realtime scheduling, and security, and then virtualized Linux on top of that.

Sounds unbelievably clunky on the surface, then you realize it's a remarkably useful way to abstract everything cleanly.

> They said the same about Japan. Meet the new contender, same as the old contender.

Japan has a smaller population than the US. Even with early automaton providing a huge multiplier effect to efficiency, they weren't likely to catch up.

Combine that with social pressure against immigration. The US benefited a lot from brain draining other countries, Japan never did. The odds of a country being the source of innovation are higher if all the world's geniuses keep moving to that country.

Next up, will China be willing to (keep) hiring away American professors? If China can clean up its air quality, continue to improve standards of living, and open itself up to immigration, it will be on track to best the US.

>why in the world in 2017 are we so apathetic about something so important?

it is not that people do not care; it is that they do not understand how to use force to achieve their goals. they do not understand how to contest the government's exclusive claim to rights like management of the internet, etc.

or they must show up for work and don't have the time to make physical appearances in places that create inconvenience-- fundamentally refusing to accept that their duty as citizens to contest government overreach is more important than their own personal life running smoothly.

Most people just want to change things to make a name for themselves. It doesn't matter if it's an improvement for the user.
When it comes to finances, people have a shockingly hard time figuring out the true cost of things. I've seen this a lot with things such as driving and income taxes. As he mentions, this informational asymmetry works to Uber/Lyft's advantage, so I doubt we will see any changes from them.

My media PC has Void Linux on it, which is also very promising. I'd also suggest looking at Funtoo; which I used briefly on a laptop and it came with a lot of good sane defaults.

I had some difficulty with SC1 due to the graphics. I couldn't judge depth very well due to the weird perspective and blurry sprites. Sometimes I mistook passable terrain for impassible terrain, or misjudged the size of buildings.

Redoing the graphics doesn't actually fix the awkward perspective, but I think it will help mitigate it. You want people to fill in the details that don't matter, but the details that are important to the gameplay should be clear.

I think this is generally true, but I'm not sure how to explain pasta sauces since I've been paying more attention.

Sugar content in pasta sauces is almost random. Varies from 3 to 10 grams per serving at least. It seems to vary more than almost any other premade item I buy.

And yet, even though I still eat junk too often, and like some treacle, I would not sort sauces based on sugar content.

I can't tell if there's no correlation or if it is literally reversed for my taste buds, but often the high sugar ones are the worst to me.

Just a theory, but maybe the sugar enhances some flavors, like garlic, but masks others, like basil, rather than drawing them all out equally?

I'm not sure how well sugar's complex affect on taste is understood by food scientists, let alone smaller or newer food brands. (What do the generic brands have, a couple chefs and a couple rounds of taste tests? No idea.)

Maybe there are too many possible combinations of ingredients and market segments for producers to all agree on the proper role of sugar, and maybe they're mostly guessing.

If that's true, then we could all probably stand much less added sugar than we/they realize.
That hasn't been true for a while now. More and more physicians are employees of large provider groups rather than owners or partners in small practices. The provider organizations have to merge and consolidate in order to get negotiating power for dealing with payers.

tl;dr on that video: You pay Facebook to promote your page to X number of people. The problem is that paid third-world clickfarms spam likes to everything they can find, not just to things they're paid to like, in order to camouflage themselves. Thus, the majority of likes you get by promoting your page are fake and don't actually represent engaged fans. You're paying for nothing.

So the answer is to for everyone to use a VPN? That won't happen.

It seems to me that if the ISPs are no longer common carriers, then they are able to choose what content they transmit.

That choice must surely come with responsibility, and they are therefore responsible for the content they transmit.

I suggest another way to remove their profits; flood them with illegal content and sue.

Are you serious? How do I define complex numbers (just to give one example) in JavaScript that actually behave like, you know, complex numbers? Recall that:

(0) The usual symbol for complex number addition is +.

(1) The operation isn't associated to any individual complex number (i.e., it's not an object method), but is rather an intrinsic part of the algebraic structure of the complex numbers.

(2) Complex numbers don't have a physical object identity in memory.

C++ fares a little better than JavaScript, but not a lot better.
One thing not mentioned is the cost of medical school (both in time and money) in the US vs. other countries. I’d imagine that a decrease in doctors’ salaries in the US could cause a significant drop in the number of people willing to spend the amount of time and money necessary to become a doctor. If we want to decrease the pay to match other countries, I think we’ll also need to decrease the investment required to become a doctor in order to maintain a reasonable level of supply.
It is probably an extension of some sort.

I have heard this can happen with Privacy Badger, but I'm sure other extensions can cause the issue. I think it is a fairly common issue with embedded Vimeo videos, but I haven't had a chance to look at alternative options/settings and hosting videos myself comes with a whole other set of issues.

Just FYI I am not personally doing a bunch of tracking here. I don't even think I have Google Analytics setup on this domain. Instead it is a byproduct of Vimeo having at tracking cookie :(
We use RDRAND if it's available, and we also have our own hardware entropy generators in some systems. In either case, we use this entropy as additional input that provides prediction resistance, and it's fed into the AES_CTR generator. Here's a picture from the blog post:

https://d2908q01vomqb2.cloudfront.net/ca3512f4dfa95a03169c5a...

Basically when the DRBG is initialized we start with /dev/urandom and the personalization string. That sets up the initial state, and then hardware entropy is "mixed in" every time the generator is used. Because the mixing in happens before AES is applied, that means that even if either stream of entropy is biased, AES will randomize it anyway (or else AES is a broken cipher!). That means that even if you controlled both inputs, it would still require at least as much computational work as it takes to compute AES to be able to generate a predictable output. That's a nice property of the DRBG construction.
What honestly frustrates you about it?

I was wondering the same thing as I got ready to reply, then I realized it’s probably a case of extreme Worrywartitis, and a reply would be wasted. Some folks can throw some tools and a tent on the motorcycle and head off to Alaska for a month. Others will have to pack until they can’t see over the handlebars, because what if? I’m more of the former. If it breaks, I’ll fix it. If I need parts, I’ll put the tent up and wait for FedEx. If I am in a situation that I can’t get myself out of, I’ll fire up the satellite communicator. But in general, if things go wrong I’ll figure it out somehow. Always have. Might not at some point in the future. Hopefully it’s a dramatic end.

Takes all kinds to make a world, the nonchalant and the less so. Problem is, the latter often can’t leave the former alone about it.

Your post is uninformed FUD as far as I'm concerned. Anyone living in a van by choice should be able to afford a cheap motel for a few days - and should budget for it, since sometimes the van breaks down and needs to check into a far more expensive motel of its own, the mechanic's garage.
