Poor working class people?

Absolutely.

It's impossible to get many benefits like WIC, rent assistance, heating assistance, etc if you are married, and it's difficult to afford childcare if mom is working and family cannot chip in, especially when you consider that many industries don't provide full-time jobs or sick time. It's cheaper for mom to stop working due to the child and bridge the gap with public assistance until the kids are around age 3, where there are more/cheaper daycare slots.

My wife worked for a utility with alot of blue collar guys -- easily 30% of the guys there had stay-at-home girlfriends with the kids. Not all of them were on public assistance, but people making $30-40k can't afford infant/toddler daycare.

Certainly. For what I said about the swarms to make sense, each robot must have a self-contained power source or be externally powered in a wholesale manner (generally by absorbing energy from the environment). For single (or few) robots though, you usually want the neat actuation mechanics and you're happy to pay the cost of the actuators and associated support hardware. The supporting hardware is always getting lighter and smaller though.
In a chemical simulation with OpenGL animation of molecules crashing into each other we used the wrong sign for the vectors after colliding. Instead moving in the opposite direction the molecules started to glue to each other. They kept moving around in ever growing chunks with wild psychedelic shapes.

We kept this bug as an easter egg.
Not unthinkable, but all the ones that have been suggested are, either unusable for most people. ‘Install your own server!’ Or quite possible but nobody is actually doing it, and therefore are irrelevant. That’s the thing with Capitalism, it gets stuff done.

>An alternative, albeit unlikely, possibility is that Earth life was originally seeded from somewhere else - panspermia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panspermia.

I've seen this hypothesis before. I've also seen the oft repeated assumption that other intelligent life might be out there, more advanced than ours.

Crazy though: what if we are the most advanced life in th universe?
Just curious, how do you manage to post a comment in the wrong thread? Are you using some kind of client?
Confirmed here on 10.13
macOS has tabs as an OS feature available in most apps:

But I see the main new thing Windows is doing is different apps grouped into one window. That should be handy!
Developing for the browser feels very much the same now as it did then. Regardless of how "standard" everything claims to be these days, I still find myself coding separate paths for each browser (and platform) for anything remotely cutting edge.

If anything, it's worse in this respect. Back then you had two wildly divergent browsers you had to switch for, with their own way of doing pretty much everything. Now, while you only need switches for a handful of things, you need to support 20 combinations of browser/platform/input device. And every new way they try to standardize anything just adds another dimension you need to multiply by. (See mouse/touch/pointer events for an example) (or Audio vs WebAudio support across 11 iOS versions for another).

That's the gig we signed up for, though. I don't expect it to be any different in another 20 years.

Be careful testing this! It appears that you're creating a "root" superuser with no password. Be sure to clean up that user afterwords.

Same, I'm on 10.12.6, could not reproduce anywhere.

I think I'll hold off on that 10.13.1 "security update" it keeps bugging me about. Seems to let anyone use my computer...

Edit: After looking a little further, it seems staying on Sierra will always be a 10.12.* version, and High Sierra is 10.13.*?
And I just googled afterdark at work... haha thanks!
About time.

I tire of how slowly the dominant platform can move due to network effects. Facebook will probably add some similarly obvious features to their interface as soon as it starts its slide into obscurity.
Yes, I just had a coworker test it after I enabled remote management and they used screensharing.app. I didn't even get notified a user remoted in.. never used screen share, that seems awful. Had to look over and ask if he was in.

edit: I should say, I did test this locally first so I don't know if a fresh machine that hasn't done it will do the same thing and let a remote account enable root.. Would like to hear if anyone tested it remotely WITHOUT doing it locally first.
But a lawsuit changes that. You don't get to delete stuff that's relevant to the lawsuit, no matter what your retention policy is.
This is the first time I've felt happy I rarely upgrade.
Those are probably weird too, but most people have some idea of how tall tall buildings are (even if they haven't been to NYC), and likewise have probably been to a pool.
Pretty soon we'll have a mobile card printer generate new decks right on the spot.
Anyone else think it was a bad idea to disclose this so publicly over Twitter? I thought that the usual practice was to let the development team know first.
Yes, you can use libuv. It's a crossplatform async I/O, with a sane API.

Then, guess what: Android, iOS, macOS, Linux, BSD... all of them are in some way or another, similar at the low level.

Windows API is unique, like TempleOS. But even the TempleOS API makes more sense, is more consistent and is better thought than the Windows API.
Oh, definitely the infinicity approach is much more malleable, which is why game engines basically work that way after years of "evolution". But the shader approach is more impressive as a fun demo.

If you want to make a real game, you go with the infinicity approach!
I can't reproduce this on a clean 10.13.1 (17B48) system, either at the login window or an authentication dialog.

Update: And even after attempting it, checking Directory Utility the root user is still disabled. So I wonder if something 3rd party has enabled the root user and left it passwordless.
Confirmed on 10.13. I was even able to add a user as an administrator after unlocking with root.
Charging for our product originally hurt but ultimately saved our startup
Seems like the guy just discovered this by accident. It's not like you'd have to be a security engineer to stumble upon this.
Can't reproduce on multiple High Sierra machines.
If only they had $120M sitting somewhere they could use. I dunno, like a savings account or something. A really big savings account that's so big they have to hire asset managers to manage. It would be even better if this savings account was made up of money that good people donated to the institution with the intention that it be used to further education.

Yeah, that would be really nice.
> In terms of infrastructure, this meant using Ansible for quickly deploying new servers where needed and adding them to the right load balancer. Currently all I need to do is spin up a new instance with the right tag & run the relevant Ansible script

To me, this still sounds awfully manual. You still need to always have an eye on load/health and proactively provision instances or risk not having the necessary capacity. Why go that route and not a template with auto-scaling and an init script or image to pull the dependencies?
The hypothesis that life on Earth originated elsewhere is somewhat independent of abiogenesis, really. At least in my experience, most supporters of the former also support the latter.

However, half the battle is actually sticking with the system you created. So it's a challenge to make it simple and a bigger challenge to make it into a solid habit.
I upvoted this because it’s nicely bizarre
You are right, I was thinking of large (systemic) failures and actually I had completely forgotten about WaMu. Clearly forbidding the banking business (as in savings and loans) would prevent bank failures. But I´m not sure the alternative businesses that would fill the void would be much better.

Growing up I was allowed to roam the grounds of wherever we were freely unsupervised. As with many of us gen-Y'ers. In spending time with various women with kids I have noticed that parents nowadays are way more likely

a) hover over their children (in a playground for example) so as to be no more than 10-20 feet away from them at all times

b) eyeing any adults in the play area without a nearby child suspiciously

c) Occasionally chastising or otherwise harassing parents that don't do this, in the same way that nosy people chastise others over their actions.

Given the prevalence of stories and my own observations, I think you are wrong. I also think the quality of the institutions being talked about vary greatly depending on where you are. When I was in high school my friend had CPS called on her parents after a particularly nasty fight (her family was prone to loud fights) and it took them a couple weeks to convince CPS to get off their backs.
Confirmed on 10.13.1. As a workaround, once you login as "root", you can change the password to something else, and the empty password will stop working.
As a programmer, the thought terrifies me.
Of course we have a say. We can choose which services we use, and we can vote in and lobby governments that regulate them effectively.
Did I get this right ? They got the letter because some one from a 3rd company CC'ed Waymo instead of Uber on an email containing that letter (the one that 1. Claims Uber did some nasty things and 2. Uber didn't submit as evidence as if it didn't exists) ?

That's either one hell of a fuck up, or someone took as big a stand as they could
This is a bad thing. Children are being straight up stifled and their ability to develop independence being actively and aggressively destroyed. We will pay a very steep price for this.
"41-year-old restaurant owner. On November 16, her restaurant was searched in the Marzahn street." I'm curious about the identity of the woman and what sort of cuisine we're talking about. Very mysterious.
Linkedin's recommendation feature is probably your best bet. Kudos for sharing a positive recruiting experience >https://www.linkedin.com/help/linkedin/answer/90/recommendat...
So — if you log out and log in as root without a password (EEK!), you can set your own password as root. Once you do, Mac os will no longer bypass the password.
Oh, relatedly, I wonder whether time in the care of non-parent adult relatives or friends-of-parents (i.e. not paid childcare or teachers) dropped substantially over the same time period.
In the meantime, if you'd like to protect your mac, you can set a password for root by going to:

System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login Options > Join > Open Directory Utility > Edit > Change Root Password
I'm able to do this as well, login as root with no password from the login screen.
Confirming this works, both from preferences, as well as from the main login screen

It seems like root has no password by default. Setting one is enough to close the hole. This is unbelievable!

Curious to see what's in /var/db/dslocal/nodes/Default/users/root.plist before trying this.
How much time compared to 300 years ago?
I'm having a hard time imagining how this hustle works. With the luminous ink or daub the idea is to see the markings from a distance. Here you would think you'd need to be fairly close with a geiger counter to detect the marking. So maybe it was a self-deal game or the dealer was colluding with the cheat? In that case maybe it's more like peeking with a shiner.
I would also suggest finding a quiet, dark place near your house where you can go on a walk with your infant. As I walked around the neighborhood, she went from refershed by the air, to a bit annoyed that she wasn't able to move around much - I'm sure some neighbors heard protest crying - to dazed and then resigned to close the eyes. I got upwards of 10,000 steps every night just walking around with her, and learned a lot about myself from trying to get her to fall asleep -- pre-bedtime quiet activities, orange/dim lighting, 62-68 degrees and keeping a very dark bedroom. Also, having someone nearby can also help, possibly singing quietly or giving a gentle massage, which can lower cortisol levels. Breastfeeding has also helped us a lot, something as a father you can't do, but a warm bottle can help. Bouncing on yoga balls also worked for us (I went to a hotel's gym just for the ball once). It gets much better though, brave it out for the first year if you can! My 13-month old daughter now goes into the bed on her own when she gets tired and sleeps for long stretches on her own.
The ideal would be a company with funding that releases an open source product. None of the open source technologies that are community driven have taken off, to my awareness.
Using the 80/20 Rule with Automation has been pretty good for what I do (https://opszero.com). Most of the time we can automate with Zapier and not have to write any code until much, much later. One of the lessons we learned bootstrapping is that running and writing code has major maintenance costs and reducing the code footprint when testing out an idea is pretty important.

This whole time I've been asking where is Uber in really deep shit? So here you go, Drogans, there could be some deep shit flooding out from Uber's septic tank.
And the Trial is delayed again, at Judge Alsup's request. This whole time Alsup has been like 'let's get this on with already'. Now he's pushing back the trial date based on what the DOJ showed him behind a closed door.
Now here's a weird thing. Larry Page has 3 flying car companies, and he funds them all himself. One of them is Kitty Hawk, of which Sebastien Thrun is CEO. Anthony Levandowski has worked for Kittyhawk, but I'm having a hard time figuring out if Levandowski was doing work for Kitty Hawk after he left Waymo, but it's possible he did.
Larry Page also has a secret Flying car company called Tiramisu[1]:

>A motion filed last month by Uber to force Google's self-driving car spinoff company Waymo to provide witnesses on a range of topics reveals the existence of Tiramisu.

>The company is listed as relevant to an ongoing Uber-Google self-driving car spat because it alleges that Anthony Levandowski, the engineer accused of stealing lidar and other technical secrets from his workplace at Google's self-driving car project and taking them to Uber, may have been working for the company in his free time.

Now, in the Depositions of Larry Page and Travis Kalanick, it had been revealed that they had been in talks about Flying Cars, or VTOL aircraft. Possibly you recall when Uber dropped the white paper for Uber Elevate[2]. Uber has been talking about flying cars in the news, and has forecast 2020[3] as the year they reveal or deploy some kind of autonomous vertical take off and landing taxi.

So there is possibility that Uber and Larry Page are involved together in some way in Tiramisu. If true, there is also a possibility that Sebastien Thrun and Anthony Levandowski have both been involved. And as an extension of that, there is the possibility that they've already been using Waymo's top-secret technology in flying autonomous vehicles for Tiramisu for years. This increases the liklihood that Page may have known about the Otto stunt before it happened.

Alsup I think just learned about all this from the DOJ. Something is going on there with Tiramisu that screws everything up.

"Still, I wonder if there is still a place for MDI that we are missing out on because it is out of style."

It would be an interesting experiment to run, because MDI died around the time that 1024x768 was a big screen. A lot has changed since then.

Although, arguably, one can get most or all of the benefits with a multi-workspace window manager and a workspace running a tool & document program by itself.

You're saying yourself that it is a rollback. It's just not a rollback to pre-Verizon vs. FCC. It's a rollback to pre-Title II, post-Verizon vs. FCC.
When was that.
well, `sudo su root` would be using the user password for the logged in user, not for root. Does `su root` work, with no password at the prompt?

What I wonder, and I do not mean this in negative way, is whether this would have happened in a more commercially oriented organisation. Mozilla remains a foundation, and I consider Rust a fruit of their labour in itself.

To put it another way, I find it hard to justify developing Rust just for a web browser. But if you consider it from the perspective of a foundation developing tools for the developer community as a whole, it makes much more sense.

The article explained in depth how the W3C didn't just enable a DRM option, they were in a position to create a standard that furthered the whole concept of DRM in a way that wouldn't have otherwise happened at all. And they make it painfully clear that DRM is used abusively to undermine otherwise legal rights.
Actually, yes. I have seen Fortune 500 C-level execs use this exact behavior. When there is a merger in the works, use of burners and anonymous e-mail accounts are commonplace.

Not that it excuses Uber's behavior, but corporate execs don't trust that their comms aren't being monitored (by either the govt or hackers in their systems). I-banks and traders have spied on them for years, so it's not an unfounded fear.

Works with "su - root" too in a Terminal.
It is disabled by default[1] (meaning you can't login as it), this vulnerability appears to enable the root user without setting a password. If the root user has already been enabled it doesn't work.

Anyone who does this should probably set a password for now and then disable the root user account once it has been patched.
