I don't think anyone would argue for word-level translations without any grammar - that wouldn't even be possible, since there isn't a 1-1 mapping between words in different languages. But for a translation, I think most people want you to do the minimum possible to preserve the original meaning. So no switching "ramen" to "spaghetti" because you think people won't understand.
ANU is likely the best compromise option for us at the moment, yeah. All my friends and family are in Sydney, so it's not too far.

Though even as a Sydney-sider, I don't consider Canberra to be a small town. Not after living in German university towns for the last 5 years with pops <150k.

Having said all that, Canberra is an example of how Australia has (once) planned out a charter city and had it succeed. However I am not sure we can do it again without the federal government being as deeply committed as it was in overseeing its own future seat.

Like most language, meaning is dependent on context. But in general it seems to be good practice to steer clear from pronouns associated with a particular gender when there are other perfectly good terms to be used (In this context, "people", "folks", or even "focused".)

I'm also a fan of the Sonoff products for random use cases around the house. One thing I think should be noted - you no longer need to solder in a UART header to get your own firmware on Sonoff devices with the SonOTA project [1]. This project uses the factory OTA mechanism to load your own custom firmware on the device. The result is an IOT device that is cheap, readily available, and fully under your own control with no hardware modifications necessary!

> Censorship by ISPs is devastating, competition cannot help, and it is impossible to circumvent and is a real possibility.

They're both devastating and difficult to circumvent, are they not? I'm at least confident if my ISP started blocking Netflix because they made a deal with Comcast, the hammer of the FCC or FTC would fall on them in short order, and there would be consumer outrage. I have no such confidence that Google or Apple will be forced to allow, say... Gab... ever. No consumer outrage nor any movement by the FTC or FCC. So if Gab is limited to technically savvy people, do VPNs really require much more savvy? Basically my point is that the results of the censorship seem to be roughly equivalent, which is a de-platforming of an online voice.

I was into this situation for a bit.

I used to get such incredible enjoyment from just coding all day, then listening to music and coding all night while drinking.

It was better than going out and seeing friends or doing anything else.

On the programming side, needing just a keyboard in front of you with the potential to make a million+ dollar company was always such an incredible motivation.

So it was like, you are not just listening to music and drinking and having a good time...I was getting all that enjoyment while also working on something that could have a huge pay-off, and that was intrinsically enjoyable anyway.

The reality though is that the quality of work you do while drinking is sub-par. It is a huge motivation boost initially and can throw you into a different mindset to let you pound through a couple of hours of work that would have been boring. It can brake a procrastination cycle where you might have been staring at a huge mountain of work, unable to take the first step.

But if its no work compared to some work, this can sometimes be a good thing.

It did reach a point where I would work all night, wake up late in the afternoon, and then be looking forward to the sun would going down before having another drink.

But honestly, I never saw it as a problem. And it really never became a problem. It just naturally balanced itself out. If you drink too much, you feel shit the next day, so you drink less and tell yourself off.

During the day I get high off exercise which is just as good. Evenings, sometimes I'll have a beer or two, but usually its already too late before I even consider it so I go to bed.

For me, I think programming in and of itself, and music, and exercise are all just as good as drinking, such that it never became addictive.

I can see it would be an issue if you experienced burn out, you have deadlines at work, and the only thing that eases the feeling of burnout is drinking. But I see drinking more as inertia, rather than fuel.

I think its very unique to everyone's built-in motivational systems and life circumstances.
This is an important point. Now that the chance of losing neutrality, and therefore the possibility of censorship is affecting everyone, there is an expectation from conservatives, who are routinely silenced on the internet, to join hands to preserve the "neutral" status quo.

It isn't even just purely politically conservative folks either. For example, Dr. Gad Saad spoke at a Free Speech event in Toronto very recently, and the video was demonetized on YouTube before it had even been published. I have disposable income, I watch Dr Saad's videos. I wouldn't mind viewing ads before his videos. Why would I think less of an advertiser whose ad showed up as a preroll? Am I not the intended audience? Or is it that my impressions aren't allowed because I enjoy Dr. Saad's content? What if I was highly critical of his content and I wanted to watch it, are my video views still not worth anything? The only reason I am on YouTube.com for the duration of the video is because of Dr. Saad. If YouTube is making money off my presence, why can't Dr. Saad? For the advertiser, I am the product, so what does he have to do with anything?
Would it be wrong to wish this could (or should?) be standardized? That is, for example, one upper case letter, same special characters, etc. The lack of a standard seems to hurts users more than hackers. The hackers know it and adjust. User just get confused and default to overly simplistic and common PWs.
I've always used C-f. Very comfortable for me but I haven't seen anyone else use it. Importantly it keeps my fingers on the home row keys. I tend to use VIM navigation in my terminal so I don't miss that binding (although there's plenty of other keys in the general vicinity).
> The CD keys we used were algorithmically generated so as to be very difficult to guess randomly. Because authenticating takes several seconds, and the odds of guessing a valid CD key are low, there is a large barrier to repetitive key guessing.

I would love to learn more about this. How did the authentication system work? How difficult was it to brute force? Does it simply involve a master key creating individual subkeys? Is it RSA?
Yeah this is a good point plus the latest iPad Pro is amazing, performance and feature wise.

> Rents are set by wages.

That is incorrect. Loose credit most definitely affects rents, as in more people can now afford to buy real-estate (houses, apartments), that reduces the supply of available places to rent (assuming no new constructions take place, for the sake of the demonstration), and generally speaking a reduced level of supply has been accompanied by higher prices, in this case higher rents.

SJW + Gordon Gecko = Etsy ?

Why would anyone expect this Frankenstein's monster to survive? Something has to give. You are either running a safe inclusive space or you are trying to rake in money.

If you want to do inclusion, start a university. Not that it matters much, with 84% institutional ownership, Etsy management will have no problem finding some George Soros type who will be willing to lose a lot of other people's money in order to keep the torch burning for the right (or more appropriately, left) kind of political theme
Thank you all for your feedback. Some are great and I really appreciate.

Some clarifications (not for discussion, just for those who are / think are in a similar situation):

- I mentioned half to full bottle of wine - it's just to give the measure. I actually drink wine, rum, whiskey, whatever

- I said 5 days a week on average, didn't mention that the other 2 are usually the days I have something preventing me (no alcohol at home, or external duties). Basically, when I'm at home and there is alcohol at home - I drink it

- the examples with children seeing me are not really applying here - 99% of the time, I'm drinking in the evening, while working (or trying to) on side projects

- I don't have any violence problems at all, even when drunk

- I'm not sure alcoholic is the right word (it's a bit strong indeed). Indeed, I'm much more concerned with how far from my potential (not only productivity, but also enjoying and living a full life) I am, than health problems. Even though it's much more apparent to me since I started running

- some of you mentioned the case of social drinking - I have 0 problem with this indeed, and I did use to work on team where we were drinking almost every night. I don't consider that a problem. My (perceived) problem is drinking alone

Anyway, thanks again to all of you. HN is really a unique community

On my machine (nMP with dual FirePro D700’s) there’s a noticeable “stall” when Quantum navigates to a page.

This isn’t there on Blink or WebKit.

I’m not sure how to go about trying to get it looked at.
Principles are always a privilege, weighing the consequences of applying them will always be a trade-off.
Network neutrality is about networks, not apps. It simply says that you can't block or prioritize traffic purely based on the identity of the endpoints. That's all. It does not regulate app stores. It does not prohibit QoS. It has nothing to do with Gab, that's several layers up the stack.
Something like Tictail?
I don’t know, but one would need to thoroughly audit the code to find out one way or another. One would not draw conclusions about the non-existence of such a feature just because they’ve made exterior measurements (exterior to the black box blob of fb code) that don’t give affirmative indication. Contrarily if the technique you described did uncover such surreptitious microphone activity, that might be a bit more conclusive.

(Hard to disprove until you’ve considered all ways it could occur, and reviewed each one, and even that leaves possibilities for mistakes in method or theory)

The viewpoint is that there’s no hard evidence such behavior occurs from their code, not that it couldn’t be the case (still). Maybe some revelation will come out but I’m not betting on it. Fb is too smart for that and their official explanation makes sense.

For those that “believe”, this lesson never gets old: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Thing_(listening_device)
In this example, if your theory for locating a bug was based on the requirement of an electrical signal, you’d have missed such a bug entirely. Next to impossible therefore to disprove such a bug exists, if you can’t consider all of the ways in which it can exist. Hope that helps you on your mission to learn reverse engineering (a skill sadly missed in the USA throw it away culture)

Well, your hypothetical moron is apparently unable to understand net neutrality at all, even the very simple version that "net neutrality means that the ISP can't block one company. If net neutrality goes away. Then it doesn't matter if Gab gets their site registered - Comcast will be allowed to block it. What you are arguing for is extending net neutrality principles to App Store providers and domain registrars, instead of just ISPs". And yes, the existence of so many idiots on one side of politics is exactly why this is a partisan issue.
Yeah, this is a real problem. My wife sells via Etsy (leather handbags, all handmade), and this is something we've seen happen. But it's disheartening to hear from potential customers that they won't shop on the site because of this reputation. Unfortunately, this is not new, and not the first time this has been discussed. This has been going on for years now. And frankly, Etsy is still the best place for this sort of thing.

So my wife sticks to marketing and directing people directly to her Etsy store.

Just a question: would you not buy something via Etsy (as in, found something you liked some other method but had to buy it through Etsy), or just not shop using Etsy?
> The WPA2 flaw is an example of a specification missing an important property as opposed to a property being described incorrectly.

If a specification misses an important property it is in my opinion by definition an incorrect description (in particular in this case when this missing property indeed leads to a security problem).

> I'd wager it isn't common that specifications are wrong in a critical way.

> People seem to jump on the latter the most I find as if it's common.

Let me present you an hypothesis: Currenly few things are really formally specified. And if it is done, there are usually very smart people behind the project. Which by definition makes it rare that they contain lots of critical errors. On the other hand, if these methods were applied "large scale" (i.e. also by much less skilled programmers who don't have a lot of deeper knowledge about more than basic computer science topics), the rates of errors in specification would be much higher and I believe this could become a not-that-uncommon topic.

Of course I nevertheless believe that if a lot more properties were formally specified and correctness proofs were done, the error rates of programs would nevertheless go down by magnitudes. But I don't believe that formal specifications and formal correctness proofs are a panacea. What I rather consider as sad is that it seems to be that if formal specification and machine-checked proofs were applied "by nearly every program", we actually slowly get out of ideas what kind of tools we can develop to decrease the error rates even more...
I'm working on that (https://passit.io) and I'm curious what your opinion of good UX is. Many here mention vulnerabilities from web extension autofill (domain matching issues, etc). Do you have any opinion between:

A) No autofill. Copy and paste (but good simple shortcuts). Least attack vectors, but least convenient.

B) Autofill but only when user prompts (with shortcut). This avoids having to inject js into web pages. The web extension needs less overall permissions this way. It avoids certain attack vectors. Features would be less discoverable - you have to know to hit the shortcuts or click a browser icon.

C) Prompts to Autofill in the page. This is the most common technique, lastpass does it. Vulnerable against domain matching misparsing. It's a big attack vector but there are plenty of common password manager vulnerabilities that can be studied and mitigated against.

Or something else? Also what issues do you have with current open source password managers?

Amazon already does something like this for Handmade items. It's not exactly great. I know, because they reached out to my wife to get her to move stuff from Etsy to Amazon.
It does have something to do with Gab- if net neutrality goes away then Comcast can block their site exactly the same way Apple can refuse to put their app in the App Store.
No one is requiring you to do this. Why do you care (aka object) if some folks actually give a damn?

There is no fast lane except by creating tons and tons of slow lanes. There are many ways to incentivize even our existing ISPs to invest more but he doesn’t pursue most of those.

According to the golden rule, rate constants are not directly connected to "energies of reactions", but to matrix elements $<f|H'|i>$ for different eigenfunctions i,f. The energy gap between two eigenfunctions may be very large, but the corresponding element may be zero and the rule would predict rate of transition as zero. It is only approximate rule, so the transition may still happen.
