GWLim's patch is the fastpath patch and a whole lot of micro-optimizations, so unless you're on a MIPS arch it's going to be hell to get working.

The cleaner patch, taken from QSDK upstream is here: https://github.com/lede-project/source/pull/1269
All our own work! But you’re very welcome to steal. Our talented friend, Sam Willis, did the design.

There's nothing wrong with Twitter operating a highly moderated platform. Hacker News is a successful example.

In both cases though, it's a huge problem that there aren't alternatives that do off truly uncensored speech. At the very least, there needs to be a force that checks these organizations when they step over the line.
So don't convince them. Convince those that are already on side to rally and make calls.

Doubly so when one side is at odds with the other side's values. History is a good guide here: When one side is against a value system, negotiating isn't an option. Fight them.
Why didn't they include gender identity? Maybe the biggest dog whistle is the blog post itself.
Why should tech companies be engaged in solving every follow-on problem? That is not how a market-based society like ours works, and it was a spectacular failure when we tried that approach with railroads (the history of Amtrak and Conrail is informative).

There are a few limited cases where it makes sense to force companies to deal with negative impacts of their technology -- environmental pollution comes to mind. For the most part, society simply has to adapt to change, because change is the story of human progress. Some jobs may be lost, some people may be inconvenienced, but saddling every innovator with the responsibility for those negative outcomes (yes, that is what it means to demand that they be "actively engaged" in finding the solution) will only serve to freeze our society in time.
We read that this is a common problem when we bought our Instant Pot so we went ahead and bought a couple of extra rings. One thing I've noticed though is that the black ring tends to not seal as well as the semi-clear ring that comes with the IP for some reason. I suspect other colored rings may have the same problem.

That said, it's nice to have different colored rings so that you know "red ring for spicy", etc...
>In the US, employees must still be paid minimum wage. Depending on the state, an employer may count tips toward this amount. If an employee reports $0 in tips, the employer must pay them $7.25/hr. While I would like to believe that what you say is true, I find it hard to be true.

You are beyond naive if you really think that because these laws are on the books they’re not being routinely and widely flouted or ignored.

If you really find it hard to be true that employers will try to spend less on employees, you’re not capable of participating in this discussion because you lack even basic familiarity with the real world.
Because stuff is only upstreamed when it's totally stable and known to work on a wide range of devices, it's still a tad experimental (albeit many people are using it successfully)

Yep, WPAD is extremely useful and it's just JavaScript with some extra functions [0]!

I've also used it to send *.company.com requests via local proxy to their servers and the rest via direct connections basically emulating split DNS without sending all traffic through their VPN.

Uh finally! Thanks for explicating this so succinctly and adroitly. I'm driven spare by the “quantum computers everywhere [because] Moore's Law bla bla bla” attitude.
Right, but that doesn't mean the other 670+ of the 800 serial rapists were identified against another database or way of identifying the individual besides “the same individual as indicated in these other rape kits”.
What about things that you've never tried, and that you might not even know that you like? You've already climbed the difficulty curve of programming in X, so you don't want to put so much effort in getting to the same level with Y. You're putting in a lot of effort to reach the same spot.

The author (as an economist, I suspect) equates new experience with consumption, but there is a huge range of new experience available if you do away with the frustration of trying to find something better than you currently do. Say, experimenting a range of sports (rock climbing, hiking, weight lifting, skateboarding) as act of knowledge rather than attaching to the results it gives.

It seems rational that there is more benefit in new experience, good or bad than repeating pleasant experience. Going to a new travel destination will give you more memories and anecdotes than going to your favorite vacation spot. And yet we're all a little bit coward and tend to stay in our comfort zone.
We had working voting systems before AJAX (source: I have a high-but-now-considered-lowish Slashdot ID) so we can do it. Besides, visited link state seems like it'd resolve the problem, and it's been in HTML approximately forever.

I still don't see the problem. The rest of what's possible can go on the current web, which would hopefully optimize (even more) for delivering apps if that happened. I want a content reader that won't, in practice, often run malicious code when I point it at the wrong document. That means it must not be able to run scripts, or at least not scripts that can communicate with the outside world in any way, at which point you may as well save the disk, memory, and complexity by leaving scripting out. There's no reason the thing I browse Craigslist, Wikipedia, IMDB, and Facebook and Twitter for that matter on must also be able to run ports of Wolfenstein or Excel clones or whatever. Or chat clients. The loss of trust and predictability in ordinary web browsing that scripting and complex layout systems bring aren't worth it. Put them somewhere else (including right where they are now—that'd be fine. Move the web to something more suited to it and leave the apps on the current "web")
The kits were from 1984 to 2009. It sounds like cases were being marked closed (usually incorrectly) before the kits were processed and the DNA added to the database. Thus, the kits were tossed into storage.

For background, this is Detroit. Wayne County, in which this happened, is demographically more than 40% Black. From the article “86% of our victims in these untested kits are people of color.“ The city government was essentially bankrupt for many years before making it official in 2013.

Funding for testing and investigating these kits happened in 2015. The number of convictions since then is almost scary - that’s more than one conviction per week.

Not if it’s consensual.
In LA, pretty much every bar takes plastic. I rarely carry cash on me; only when someone doesn't have Venmo or I need to get quarters for the laundromat do I need to obtain actual cash. Whenever I got out to eat with people, cards are used 90% of the time and the bill gets split between cards. It's not that paying with cash is a faux pas, but it is slightly weird and an inconvenience when the person doesn't have quite enough cash on hand.

I do so out of convenience and because everything I buy is basically on-record. Points are BS.

I've stopped budgeting entirely because I found that it reinforces the idea that money needs to be spent. Even if I tried to keep this in mind, I would often end up spending more because I would create spending limits that were higher than necessary. What I instead do is I hardly pay attention to how much money I have at a given time. With a vague idea of the amount in my checking account, I found I'm much less likely to find reasons to spend money. When I do check my statement every few times a month, I'm always astonished how much money I have left over. That almost never happened when I did everything consciously. But that's my own twisted psychology at play.

If more people carried cash, we might see fewer muggings because anyone with just cards can just call their bank and have them turn off all the cards if they get stolen.
Even for known-good, popular, top-selling products? The example I cited has 24k+ reviews for the US and 3.8k+ for Canada.
Bank costs are things like loans being defaulted on, which is good for society (lending is risky, and interest from loans that pay back covers defaults).

The profit is the amount the banks make that isn't consumed by those costs, so that's the right number to use.

Bitcoin contracts

Given that the server distributes the keys, and there is no way for the user to compare/verify known-good keys of other users, it's possible for the server to MITM everything, actively, meaning modification instead of just eavesdropping.

>- Open source code

Open source doesn't save you either, because a user cannot inspect what is actually running on the server.

And even the client side, while the code is technically there (downloaded to the browser in minified form), it's not feasible for a user no matter what level of skills to verify the distributed code is actually what's open sourced in your github repository and that the code stays like that whenever you refresh or reopen the site.

So basically, you need to trust the server (operator) and your webcrypto scheme does not provide any additional security whatsoever given that the server (operator) can MITM it trivially. The only thing preventing third parties other than the server (operator) in a MITM position to do harm is the TLS, but not your webcrypto scheme.

>- Ephermeral message history (not persisted in a DB)

Even with best intensions, what happens when you receive some National Security Letter, court order or similar, which forces you into silently MITM the key exchanges, thereby enabling you to MITM the messages and then log every message and pass that to some state actor?

To say something positive, I like the minimal UI and the way you handle file uploads. Even tho your service cannot fulfill the strong user-to-user security it somewhat claims, it's still a nice chat tool.

However, since your service is easy to use (copy-paste just one URL and type away), I'd guess soon enough you'll run into the same troubles as similar services where some bad users (e.g. from the chans) will use your service to e.g. distribute child pornography, revenge porn and other very illegal content.
A recent survey showed that ~75% of republicans support the concept of net neutrality. The problem is that republican lawmakers overwhelmingly don’t support net neutrality.

I think it’s a good idea to remind republicans that their elected officials are doing things they don’t approve of. Hopefully they will put pressure on them to re-instate NN, and vote for pro-NN candidates in the future.
the HITECH act essentially created a duopoly in the EMR market: Epic and Cerner. Cerner is a public company so you can look at their financials and see the massive tailwind that was the HITECh act. they sell basically compliance and billing products to hospitals for 9-figure installation checks and huge, multiyear service contracts. once you get locked in, its incredibly painful to get out (see above 9-figure, multi-year installs)

EMRs are massive cash cows for the big players (who are now largely just 2, epic and cerner). these products are largely built to comply with regulations and make billing easier. they are build for hospital admins. physicians hate them, and many blame them for the massive increase in physician burnout over the last few years

building one of these would be a pain in the ass as you need to digitize hundreds of clinical forms and comply with a dizzying set of regulations. the architecture for a lot of these things is from the 1970s, but the sheer amount of features needed makes building one from scratch painful. and the market power of the incumbents makes it really tough to even carve out niche features

if there is any group in healthcare that should be disrupted, its the EMR companies
Yes, digicash (more properly called "ecash" among researchers) is useful in every example you listed: it is anonymous and supports offline payments (i.e. direct payments between two parties).

Keeping the Node standard library small seems to be a deliberate approach. See this post for some elaboration: https://medium.com/the-node-js-collection/keeping-the-node-j...
I am not an expert, but my assessment is that it's pure marketing. They talk about needing millions of qubits to do useful computations. This is flat out false. Thousands will already solve interesting problems that no classical computer can currently solve, e.g. factoring RSA moduli. They also say that many qubits operating together will be required to build a practical quantum computer (true), and that their technology allows this (false). The problems involved in maintaining coherence and correcting errors, at reasonable operating temperatures do not boil down to how to fit multiple qubits on a silicon wafer. This is like saying a new process for manufacturing nuts and bolts will allow the construction of Boeing 747's. The paper may contain more sensible statements, but as usual, the press release is probably nonsense.
Ten years of professional blogging – what I’ve learned
The one county is home to one very big issue, Detroit, in case you weren't paying attention to the early 2000s the city of Detroit was in an utter state of failure with respect to every aspect associated with a modern urban center.

Detroit's crime lab was so inept the state shut it down in 2008
I could name a few things, like interactive rebases, but the main thing is not something that can really be explained. Have you ever significantly become strong in some kind of contest, may it be sports, gaming, music or similar? There is this situation where one day you struggle with something and don't see an end, and the next day it finally clicks, and you can do things naturally that one day earlier where not even imaginable.

If you've experienced that once consciously, then you can regonize it and you know when you experience it you've hit someting really good in your life that moves you forward.

Sadly it seems you must take that hurdle in anything until a certain age or you will always believe this is impossible and therefore never invest the energy to reach it.

The thing is that this is not possible to achieve with any random software. For instance no matter how much you learn MS Word, you probably won't experience that. But when learning Vim or Emacs there's a chance you get there. Same is with git. And once you've achieved it once consciously, you will always want to be in that state in everything important you do.

That's why the really good stuff only has a few followers, most simply don't get the appeal because they never would invest the energy to get "there" even if they knew exactly how much it would take. But for those who have achieved it there is no going back. You cannot go back from controlling (almost) any bit of your repository to Mercurial.

But that's also why I think for most users something like Mercurial should be The VCS. Most people don't know the reward they are missing, so they don't feel the pain of missing it, and therefore have no logical reason to go through the pain of really learning git.
The boingboing article says that, but the actual source (Detroit Free Press) article that underlies it makes it clear that the threshold is lower and the boingboing write-up is misstating the facts:

“Of our set of 817 ... over 50 of them have 10 to 15 hits apiece.”

I've thought for a long time that this explains why the NSA is recording so much encrypted data. When QCs are available they will be able to decrypt all the things. Imagine what they'll learn.
Now I want to read a steampunk sci-fi novel where cryptocurrency is mined on steam-powered devices. Of course, the algorithms should match the capabilities of the underlying hardware.

What the Federal Tax Bill Means for NYC’s Affordability Crisis
To those downvoting me, do you think CNN, BBC and all major news outlets should only report what Trump does, but never actually show a video of him speak to deny him a platform?
I absolutely agree that Americans from both sides of the aisle can support net neutrality but one party will vote against it and one side of aisle will vote for that party regardless.

I'd love to be wrong but that is exactly what happens.
When I know what file I'm missing a commit from, I usually end up using `git log` instead.

git log -p --all --first-parent --remotes --reflog --author-date-order -- somefile

I accidently screwed up a rebase and dropped a test file. It managed to get merged as a blank file (always review after rebase!), I noticed a few days later when a PR was passing which I swore would of failed some tests I had written. Since then I couldn't exactly remember when I made the commit to the file, so trying to search through reflog became difficult. The above command makes it pretty easy as it will show you every change made to a file.
CDC director says there are ‘no banned words’ at the agency
I've found Sourcetree to be way too slow. My team is currently using the GitFlow model, for various reasons, and that involves switching between branches fairly regularly. It also means that any commit to master involves a lot of steps. From the command line, this isn't a big deal because each of those steps takes a half second or so, but Sourcetree multiplies that by an order of magnitude, and the Sourcetree users are nearing a point of mutiny.
>Convince those that are already on side to rally and make calls.

Really? Do you not think that has been going on for the last year at least? It didn't do a lick of good either.
I carry very little cash, certainly not enough to be tipping people in cash on a regular basis. What usually happens is maybe 1-2 times a year my wife or I will get a few hundred dollars out of the ATM, split it up, and that will be enough to get us through six months or more. I just checked and currently I have three dollars on me. I can't remember the last time I encountered a place that was cash only, though I'm sure they exist.

Contrary to your last point, I actually find that using credit cards for everything makes it FAR easier to keep a handle on our spending, which in turn keeps things more reasonable. Having a single place where we can see almost all of our cash flow is very useful.
So does my tweet @ Ajit Pai wishing that he burns to death slowly get me banned from Twitter or do I get grandfathered?

I have to admit that I'm quite surprised by this, I had expected that the debut of futures would have caused an almost-instant disruption of supply and demand.

Still, any time now...
"A group of the agency’s policy analysts said senior officials at the CDC informed them about the banned words on Thursday, according to the Post’s report. In some cases, the analysts were reportedly given replacement phrases to use instead.

But in follow-up reporting, The New York Times cited “a few” CDC officials who suggested the move was not meant as an outright ban, but rather, a technique to help secure Republican approval of the 2019 budget by eliminating certain words and phrases."

Can I just briefly rant about how annoying/bad/outright made up modern day reporting is? Good lord.
My recollection is that it is partly money. They have to make judgement calls on where to spend the money, and someone who has worked as a prostitute is less likely to be a case you can successfully convict, so it gets cut. (Which is then self fulfilling prophecy because without the DNA evidence, it is less likely to get a conviction.)

Mariska Hargitay of SVU fame is behind this stuff. I couldn't readily find the blurb I was looking for, but found an interview that says there are 175k unprocessed rape kits in the US.

Helping to end the backlog sounds like a worthy cause. Bonus that it will help redress racism and classism to some small degree since it is poor people and people of color disproportionately impacted by the backlog of unprocessed rape kits.

The boingboing article just excerpts part of it, and inaccurately summarizes some of the rest, so it's worth skipping to the original source.

That's actually an indisputable fact.
