I'm a fan of Popper, but I'm skeptical this person has spent a lot time parenting, especially with difficult children. There are emotionally fragile adults and it would be 'anti-rational' to assume that at least some of them didn't start out that way. I wish him good luck though.
> Enemy combatant "held without charges" sounds a lot like any vanilla prisoner of war.

This is a convenience because war is chaotic, and prisoners of war could be held near the front, where people have more pressing duties than to worry about the comfort of prisoners that they only took out of a sense of civility (above some minimal consensus standard.) Once prisoners are away from the front, and resources are available, there's no reason why a prisoner of war should be any different from any other prisoner.

When this treatment becomes "the normal rules of war" and active for years on end, nowhere near a front, it has become a rationalization and a loophole.
I am not sure if I follow. The iPhone SE has the same form factor as the 5s, but mostly the innards of the iPhone 6s. Rumors are that there will be a new SE in the first quarter of 2018.

I am using an SE, because I dislike larger phones (though the 4.7" may still be ok).
The law is not a mathematical equation, complying with the law not a boolean clearly true or false.

Apple makes huges efforts to violate the spirit of tax law (that a business making good profit should pay quite some taxes) while trying to avoid that authorities / courts can prove it. Actually they have been fined already, they are still appealing. So whether they comply with the law is formally undecided.

Edit: Not sure whether "fined" is the correct legal term. They have received some kind of "letter" that they have not paid what was legally required in the past and they are obliged to pay the missing sum (13 billion EUR).

DNS for Tor exit nodes
With Firefox 57, they're now essentially equivalent in terms of the security architecture.

There's a small architectural difference with how tabs are sandboxed against one another. That is, Chrome starts a new process for every tab, unless it's on the same domain as another tab.

Firefox by default only uses as many processes for tabs as you have processor cores and then round-robins tabs across those. This achieves essentially equivalent parallelism with much lower resource usage, so overall better performance. If you'd rather have the security than the performance, you can set dom.ipc.processCount in about:config to a higher number. This is the maximum number of processes that it will use for tabs, so setting it to something like 1000 will essentially make it start a new process for each tab.

Then there's something to be said about add-ons. Mozilla does manual code reviews of most extensions and extension updates. (They have some criteria for when they don't do a manual code review and instead just an automated check, based on how damaging the extension is able to be with the things that it accesses.)

As a result, AMO has essentially no problems with malware, whereas on the Chrome Store you hear every other month of some trojan or adware spreading.

Mozilla also has a policy that disallows telemetry without user opt-in as a whole, so recognizing adware or a trojan is just a matter of observing network traffic where it shouldn't necessarily be going.

Lastly, Firefox Sync is end-to-end-encrypted by default, only one password needed. Chrome Sync is not, you need to set up a second password for it to be end-to-end-encrypted. And Google will store and work with your Sync data, if you do not opt for E2EE, so that's another possibility for a pretty big data leak.
Not a problem, if you are security-conscious and don't mind setting up that secondary password, but recommending it to average users on the merits of it being secure is essentially out with this.
Unless the US has declared war on itself, the capture of an American POW by the US seems contradictory in principle, and should make any American at least a bit uncomfortable.

If it's difficult to consider whether or not the rules of war apply in this case, then maybe that's because the war being waged is unjust in its scope or fraudulent in its definition.
You mean, when Nixon introduced a much weaker healthcare bill right after Kennedy had managed to broker a bipartisan bill proposing a real reform? I don't see anything hypocritical about refusing to support a bill designed to keep the current broken system running and squash actual reform.

At least, that's how it looks to me as a complete outsider.
How I automated my team’s agile and Scrum processes with Scrumile
There isn't public information on this, but in the past I have heard that Chrome had a lot more engineers than Firefox (though it's a bit difficult to make direct comparisons because of scope differences). I suspect that's still true. I also heard the same thing about Edge at one point, but I suspect that may not be true now.

Comparisons with the past are meaningless because browsers are far more complex (and performant, and secure, and versatile, etc) than they used to be.

And sorry, but your gut estimates are not likely to be that accurate if you don't work in this area.

Why exactly do you believe feminism would be against artificial wombs? (which, btw, is not even what we are talking about - these are transplanted natural wombs not artificial).

Feminism is about empowering women to make their own reproductive choices. Giving them MORE choices is a positive not a negative for feminism.
Creator here – There are a few ways we can detect a breach/leak using our Insiders.

1. The unique email address assigned to the Insider is contacted. We gather forensic evidence of the email along with any attachments. Useful to identify specific attacks against your users too.

2. An optional real mobile number assigned to your Insider is contacted. Again, we store all of the details, including the original SMS details or even call recordings.

3. Your Insider shows up on the Internet or dark web somewhere - we check a number of common sources for dumps, such as Pastebin for any references to the Insider. We currently keep a copy of the contents of the paste, as the original details could be removed at any time. However, we are working on better captures (full page screenshots, entire copy of the DOM etc.)

We are working a few more detection methods too, which we shall reveal soon...

There is a subset of web pages that only use a subset of features - Hacker News is an example, but better examples would be Wikipedia, many news sites, documentation of all kinds, and so on. You have basically static HTML, and use JavaScript for 1) progressive enhancement and decoration (what used to be called "DHTML"), 2) ads, and 3) more and more for client side rendering. You can't do much about 3 right now, but I would offer support for 1 and 2. I would definitely offer scripting, but just not all features.

You could autodetect a "lean html" site, or you could use a marker such as "<html lean>" like AMP does.

I don't think this is hostile to developers at all, unless AMP is already hostile. You would have a subset of the web platform, yes, but if you only use that you are likely to have a faster and leaner website - even without a new engine. I would view it as a guideline or a best practice, rather than a restiction.

Side note: I think the co-mingling of documents and apps is the source of a lot of problems today. Why can ads inject arbitrary javascript into my website?! On mobile, I am regularly redirected to annoying ads that proclaim my phone is infected, and make my phone vibrate and make noise. A news article shouldn't be able to do that!

That paper actually specifically mentions VPNs as a countermeasure to BGP attacks:

Increase the diversity of node connections.

The more connected an AS is, the harder it is to attack it. We therefore encourage Bitcoin node owners to ensure they are multi-homed. Observe that even single-homed Bitcoin nodes could benefit from extra connectivity by using one or more VPN services through encrypted tunnels so that Bitcoin traffic to and from the node go through multiple and distinct ASes. Attackers that wish to deny connectivity through the tunnel would need to either know both associated IP addresses or, alternatively, disrupt all encrypted traffic to and from nodes— making the attack highly noticeable.

Ham radio is another great idea. It’s a bit of a gray area, at last in the US where commercial use and encryption (but not digital signatures) is prohibited. Transmitting block headers may not strictly be against the letter of the law. The transactions themselves though probably would be.

I’ve been meaning to set up a service listening on APRS-IS (http://www.aprs-is.net/) that rebroadcasts transactions to the Bitcoin network. I don’t think such a service would violate the regulations, but users who wish to use it would be responsible for ensuring their transactions did not (if that’s even possible)

That sounds like a much more graspable technical goal, but you would effectively be competing not with modern browsers but rather with the web as a whole, which is a much more difficult social/political goal.

If at the same time you could encourage widespread adoption of your HTML subset, then you may be onto something. This is essentially what Google did with AMP, their incentive being their caching network and apparent favoring in search results.
Oof... syntactic sugar at the cost of obfuscation and configuration.

How is this clearer than normal method calling, when you have to look for a priority number in the config to know which method executes before the other one?

Internet Explorer for Mac was a separate codebase from the Windows version.

The Unix workstation versions (HP-UX, AIX, etc.) were built with a commercial equivalent to Winelib: a library that implemented Win32 APIs on top of Unix and X11.

I have no idea how they managed to build the IE code on a compiler that wasn't MSVC.

This is already starting to happen, see for example AEOI:

I believe governments (some of them, starting in Europe...) may very well be on their way towards harmonised tax levels because there is just so much money they are missing out on and they know it. Ireland may be reaping most of the benefit as it stands right now, but it is probably clear that a slightly higher tax in Ireland and a slightly lower one in other European countries may well net Ireland more in the end anyway.

If large megacorporations will be as affected by this general trend as small business owners remains to be seen I guess - I'm not too optimistic about that.
Wouldn't trying to deadlift more than 400 pounds be the same amount of effort on the moon? Granted, it would have to be that much more massive, so it would certainly LOOK more impressive.
So I see that profile-guided optimization are being used.

Profile-guided optimization, in layman terms, means that you run you code under a profiler for a while, see what parts (branches, functions, data structures etc) are being used the most and use this information to make a build of your code that considers the profiler's findings when doing optimization.

So what does it mean? It means, basically, that revsys is publishing a python build that is optimized for their use-case. Which may or may not be your use-case. This is not good nor bad.

Still, the claim "up to 19% faster" is false in general (but true in a particular case -- their use case).

Just keep this in mind, because this python build might perform worse than a regular python build.

Seriously American students should consider studying abroad. PhDs is a paid job in many countries. Also graduate and undergrad programs are tuition free, even for Americans in many European countries.

I think a problem is many Americans think they have the top universities in the world, but you forget that is really only the ivy league which most Americans will not be able to attend anyway.

I went to a decent university in the US, before going to the Netherlands instead. I got to say it was much better in the Netherlands for several reasons:

1. Most of my professors shockingly spoke BETTER english than at the US university. WHY? Because in the US there is an abundance of professors/teachers from foreign countries, especially from India and various asian countries. These professors often pronunciations of the english language which is hard for an American or European to understand. Dutch professors in contrast speak very clear english. Yes dutch is the native language, but at Master level all courses are taught in english if you don't speak dutch. For undergrad there are several special schools which do english only teaching.

2. More modern facilities. They had better equipped university library. Newer computers in the computer labs etc.

3. They teach you more about how to think. I felt US university was closer to a high school experience. A lot of hand holding and focused on learning lots of stuff. In the Netherlands it was less workload but harder problems. You spend more time thinking than doing.

4. More time with your professor and less time with student assistants and other non-professionals.

5. Easer to be a student in general. You don't need a car to get around. Dutch cities are very walk and bike friendly, and there is lots of public transportation.

6. More FREEDOM! For young people there seems to be way too many restrictions in the US. Can't drink until 21. Gender separated dormitories etc. I find that in the Netherlands and Europe in general you are treated more as an adult. You live in apartments with other students on campus (or off) and there are nobody going around enforcing lots of stupid rules.

For context, there are heavy legal restrictions on why, how, and when moving between states in the US can remove people from the voter roll in their old state. Unless the voter tells their old state to remove them, the state has to send them a notice and wait until after the second Federal election - if they vote in any election before then, the state can't remove them. (This is probably why Gregg Phillips, the guy who Trump was promoting as a voter fraud expert for some reason, was registered in multiple states.) Also, the only legally safe trigger for starting the removal process is the US Postal Office's change-of-address process, and it wouldn't surprise me if the ACLU challenged even that.

Not only that, removing people from the voter roll for this reason almost always results in headlines implying or outright stating that this is voter suppression. There's even a popular conspiracy theory about the 2016 US presidential election (started by journalist Greg Palast) that relies on the assumption that almost every voter marked for removal from the rolls in the key swing states of Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin in this process was a Democrat voter whose vote was suppressed.
I never worked on a browser, though I did implement the HTML5 spec, twice, and I wrote a JS engine(compiler, runtime). I know that it was a lot easier because I could count on infromation and other advances that were available to me, and anyone else really, at the time, the kind of resources and information I probably wouildn't have had access to it("whats javascript?") 20+ years earlier.

Browsers have evolved - because standards did, and expections along with them, but in the past they too were quite complex(see also Netscape's play: browsers, email, usenet client etc, suit) and again, it was harder then that it is nowadays to build such systems.
I don't think you could plug directly into the JS engine to allow it to interact with your DOM.
It may also have to do something with scope. In 2000-~2010 Apple was basically and iPod + UNIX desktop company. The iPods did not spectacularly until the iPod Touch/iPhone, OS X had a relatively narrow scope: a UNIX system supporting a small hardware range, with a nice modern display server, and good object-oriented frameworks.

In the last years their scope has expanded immensely, both hardware-wise (iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Apple TV, now HomePod) and software-wise: AirPlay, CarPlay, Homekit, HealthKit, AR, Apple Music, Force Touch, machine learning, Siri, Handoff, Airdrop, Emoji with face recognition, etc. A lot of these technologies work somewhat, but are glitchy.

Of course, there are many times larger than the Apple of 2007, but managing an extremely broad palette of technologies is difficult. Especially when you want them all to produce something in-sync in the autumn. In some sense, Apple may have spread themselves to thinly.

I think think that we would be better served by an Apple that was more focused on core technologies and would let the third-party ecosystem focus on applications. Or perhaps completely separate divisions that would focus on macOS, iOS, and hardware. Or shipping features when they are done (rolling-release style) rather than one big drop every year.

At any rate, their current direction is hurting core, traditional use cases for Apple products. E.g. Preview.app/PDFKit has been really terrible the last two releases, to the point where I can barely use it for previewing my lecture slides, etc. Basic technologies like PDF rendering used to be stuff that they had nailed down extremely well.
I see tons of people online writing algorithms in python and ruby, that will run against a few megabytes of data, and worry about getting the "big-O" of their algorithms right.

Then I go ahead and show them that just by doing the same thing in C++ you get a 10x speedup if you know what you're doing, sometimes more.

And then they say "but I'd never get an optimal algorithm done" (that C++ is typed actually makes this easier for me then python as soon as we get past the "trivial" complexity level, but to each his own I guess).

So I say "Ok. No worries ! Let's make it inefficient !". And add an inner for loop where a hash lookup would have done it (for example). And lo and behold ! The C++ code still beats the crap out of their "optimal" python code. (this is somewhat of a cheat because the odds of making a random thing somewhat inefficient is very unlikely to be the critical point of that code, even if it's in the middle of the deepest loop). Then we replace their 100mb csv with a new 10mb memory-mappable data and they can't even measure anymore how fast the program is. As soon as we enter main, it just immediately terminates.

Algorithms start to matter when your data, optimally stored, becomes >10x all the CPU cache combined, ignoring things like strings. That means 300-400 megabytes when stored fully binary. Ie. you DO NOT HAVE ANY SUCH DATA. Your company's yearly transaction log is less than this. Before that, forget about algorithm optimization, it will bring you nothing.

TLDR: If you're not working in C++, and actually doing most of your development on data layout in memory and on disk, you don't care about performance. Math does not matter at all. Once a year I encounter a situation where math matters, and frankly I just usually find a PhD in that specific field and ask them (despite having a master degree in Math myself).

You do not need math to program.

The big secret is that for programming, there is only one thing that matters beyond basic programming skill. And that thing is domain knowledge of the problem. Exactly, I might add, what almost all programmers don't have.
