The point is that Mozilla prides themselves on transparency, but the name of the config option was "extensions.pug.lookingglass" -- meaningless buzz words with no reference to Mr. Robot -- and the description was just "MY REALITY IS DIFFERENT THAN YOURS" -- an enigmatic Alice in Wonderland quote.

It's actively trying to be opaque. That's the opposite of transparency.

Curious adventurous people install the test build because they want to try out new features and extensions. Those are the users who are most likely to know about and use "about:config". The config option and description of the plugin are mysterious and enigmatic, which tempts your curiosity into turning it on to see what it does, because you presumably trust that Mozilla wouldn't distribute just any old extension that didn't have a purpose other than scanning and modifying the content of every web page, inserting dynamic content adjacent to keywords, and advertising a TV show.

Actual Title:

Cues of upper body strength account for most of the variance in men's bodily attractiveness

So, yes, they were measuring bodily attractiveness. That was the whole point of the study.
That would be true if we were trying to find the exact reasons for success.

If you are just trying to promote success, then it stands to reason to reward success of the parents, incase some of those confounding factors are hiding actual fitness. After all, if the null hypothesis is true, you aren't losing anything by promoting some people over others, if they are all equality capable, anyway.

In general, if you allow anyone to be a router then anyone can advertise a low-cost route to anywhere, and then drop the packets. You might be able to combat that with some kind of decentralizes reputation system or policies that prefer existing routes that have been in use for awhile and are known to work, or that sends a few test packets over any new "suspicious" link before using it send real data.

I don't know what current research says about this problem, or whether any current routing protocols attempt to deal with it at all.

In practice, I expect that real wireless meshes can still be somewhat secure by operating as managed clusters of routers that don't peer with other clusters of routers without the administrator explicitly enabling peering. So for instance, you might have one neighborhood with a dozen houses with routers managed by some guy, and a nearby HOA with another cluster of routers managed by someone else, and they might find out about each others' networks and agree to create a bigger network by peering. So, your network's trust model can piggyback on the trust model of the real world -- if you know someone in real life, it's a lot less likely they're going to try to take down your network than some random person you don't know.
Could you please share a really high level psuedo code example of what kind of data a sample-based profiler collects/how it does it?
> I doubt we could have done anything more to not make it sudden for you.

It should have been a new-window snippet. Depending on users to read blogs is living by hope. They should have put the news in their faces, unavoidably.
You've got that exactly backwards. The profit motive being predictable is what every market based economy heavily counts on. Which is to say, most of the world's economic activity relies upon the profit motive as the foundation of trust.

Hundreds of trillions in global wealth and $100 trillion in annual economic output are powered by very predictable self-interest. You can build trust networks around it and you can build regulations based on it, precisely because it's extraordinarily predictable and universal to the extent necessary for the whole system to function with billions of participants.

A general observation about online comments: when I read an article online and want to know what other people are saying about it, I have no easy & simple way to do so. If your blog has a comments section, that's great, but what about all the other platforms that people discuss things on? (Twitter and Reddit [and of course HN!] come to mind.)

I would love to see a comments system that provided insight into commentary occurring across the web. Is there a good reason why online discourse is still fragmented?
What you say would make sense in a hypothetical world where every JITter could work with every language, but that's not the world we live in. You can just hand chef B better-quality ingredients and have him do his thing, but you can't just hand HotSpot MSIL code and have it do its thing. Half of this is due to differences in the representations. The other half is because MSIL has features that (as far as I know; please correct me if I'm wrong) the JVM doesn't have, such as by-ref variables, which it would still need to support, but which might make optimizations such as escape analysis harder.

This is why people judge chefs independently from the ingredients they are given, but don't judge languages and implementations independently from each other. In the first case they are actually (mostly) independent in the real world, whereas in the second case they are frequently dependent on each other, and it is not possible to mix-and-match languages with compilers. (But I certainly do hope we get to a point where the latter would be possible, too.)
To date the only practical replacements for RSA and EC achieve key derivation but not signatures. Without signatures we're not really 'complete' since certificates are hard to do with only key derivation.

Post-quantum cryptograph research is a very active area right now. If these researchers do not find a practical signature algorithm, PKI as we know it will change very significantly.

Ironically, blockchains might elevate in importance as a result, since the evolving blockchain is a useful construct for quantum resistance. It has cryptographic agility built in.

I looked up this term in wikipedia, and I don't know what you are trying to label me as. It seems to be just a buzz word.

As quoted from "The Concise Oxford Dictionary of Politics":

Part of the difficulty in establishing sensible and consistent usage is that commitment to the biology of natural selection and to 'survival of the fittest' entailed nothing uniform either for sociological method or for political doctrine. A 'social Darwinist' could just as well be a defender of laissez-faire as a defender of state socialism, just as much an imperialist as a domestic eugenist.

Can you explain further?
I can understand where you're coming from, in that you authored the data. However, that's different from ownership. That's determined by the terms of service of the website. If you want to retain full ownership of the content, in some (many?) cases you can only do so by not commenting on their site (or service used by the site), but rather commenting on a site you control. While some people may have an expectation that the site has a responsibility to steward the content provided by users, and I think that's a laudable goal, at the end of the day that is determined by the terms of service.

Aggressively using pomodoro does not automatically imply unhealthy work-life balance; pomodoro can be very useful in the "life" side of things too.
I'm very grateful you took the time to respond especially in such great length. Don't apologize for the length this is the exactly what I was hoping for!

Sometimes it's good to get a completely different view on things as the rhetoric within the US has been quite negative towards Trump (potentially well deserved) without much discussion around the quantitative easing etc but rather just tax cuts for corporations etc.
The problem with that is a lot of those stores will kick the homeless person out. We used to buy meals for homeless people on the street when we were getting fast food in college. Oftentimes they were afraid to come into the McDonalds with us, even though we were taking them in, because they had been kicked out in the past. There's no way they would have gone in to use a gift card.
>Video being subject to a two-party consent rule, or even one -party consent, would make most video surveillance illegal, such as security cameras outside of stores

Security cameras are often required to be accompanied by signs stating as such when you are on private property. On public property such as the street there is no protection.
new Thread('sampler') {
run() {
while (true) {
samples.add(Thread.getAllStackTraces());
Thread.sleep(1ms);
}
}
}.start();

Then you export all the stacks to a visualizer. The real java version of this is actually usable to find quick problems but will be inferior to real profilers because the 'getAllStackTraces' API wasn't designed for this.

For C/C++ program you can use signals to implement the above. That's how the Firefox profiler works.

Nope. Our tips were pooled, and we didn't receive them until the end of the week. They had employment taxes taken out, and were also split up with busboys, dishwashers, line cooks, managers etc. This was in California in the 90's.

So the idea that tips reward performance is a joke. If I was excellent one night, a coworker who was terrible would get a boost (in average) while my take was lowered.
The issue here again is the screwed up minimal wage, or how tips can be accounted for that. Therefore a american exclusive issue.

Source: Most people i know who earn tips, are the ones who rather refuse or minimize a tip to someone else (central europe).
See this discussion - there seems to be some consensus that 10 pomodori per day is very good. This matches my experience as well.

The "studies" sidechannel is the ideal place to distribute a deactivated plugin if you want curious people to activate because they want to test out new features. People subscribe to the studies sidechannel BECAUSE they want to try out new features, and those people tend to know about and use about:config, so it's likely many people will enable it, to see what it does.

And here's a bug report about something it does:

Not sure about wine glasses but universities have at least 7 times more incentive to publish BS papers these days.

>> "These days, the average British pour of wine is 250 milliliters".

According to data collected from dive bars. And I'm serious, see the article they referenced in the paper:
https://www.morningadvertiser.co.uk/Article/2014/10/24/Direc...

Modern wine glasses are designed for drinking experience and you are supposed to hold the glass using your fingers from it's stem. And that's exactly why you don't fill half of your glass and try to carry 250 milliliters of liquid with your fingers.
> Most people in the US go to a specialty retailer if they need wine glasses

[citation needed]

If I were going to bet, I'd say most purchasers of wine glasses probably do it through general retailers like Target or Amazon, not specialty retailers.

I would be less surprised if the greatest number of consumer purchases of wineglasses were from specialty retailers because the people who buy from them but more glasses per person, but I really doubt most people use a specialty retailer.
> Git is fundamentally better than most of the alternatives

No way. Only if you define “good” as “good at the kind of project that git is good at,” where it will hold vacuously.

I suffer daily through the cyst that is git LFS, and it’s a joke. It would be funny if it weren’t so tragic. I hear that it’s not doing any better in large scale mono repo land. Google doesn’t use it, afaik. Microsoft does (but multi repo, last I heard), Facebook doesn’t (custom Mercurial, some tasty quotes at [0]). Not a glowing “fundamentally better”, exactly.

> Turns out you don't need to, with distributed ledgers (Bitcoin, etc).

The distributed network is the middleman in fact. The entire thing doesn't function without that middleman. To get to the end result, you have to go through that network. It fits perfectly as a middleman concept.

The notion that crypto-currencies can exist without middlemen, couldn't be further from the truth. They're entirely built on and dependent upon middlemen. The distributed ledger is one of the greatest middleman technologies ever devised.
If you get bad service, whether it's a rude waiter, cold/incorrect food or something else, the best and fairest course of action is to bring it to the manager's attention. They're usually pretty savvy about the real cause. But tipping a small amount just makes a waiter hate you.
For people who write their own CMSes (like myself), this is hella useful. I look forward to adding this to my blog once more features get added, although I'd probably switch the database to MongoDB.
As with everything, it's a trend. If you served dinner with a smaller wine glass (an XL5, for example), some people would wonder if you'd missed a memo. Gets a bit silly. Larger glasses allow for more surface area, sure, but they're impractically delicate to use and clean.

But then, if you think that's silly, consider jeans. For almost everyone in a Western country, if you left the house in jeans with a really unfashionable wash (acid, stone, etc) it's likely that people would be astonished. I know circles where you'd be ridiculed for life. Not the item of clothing, the cut, cleanliness or necessarily even the colour, but just the treatment of the dyed material. We're pretty ridiculous...

Part of the problem is the walled garden affect of Facebook, is there a public API that provides you with links to public posts about a piece of content ? I doubt it, although Facebook uses this internally to show me random strangers blathering about various news stories. Twitter might be easier but still not sure if there is something that an API can query to find links to a certain article or piece. I remember back in blogging days there was a ping back functionality that was supposed to do something like this.

Usually if I find something interesting in the tech sphere I just find people commenting about it on Hacker News and it's a tight but broad enough community to get good discussion.
I agree, but our take on this is an incredibly unpopular opinion. The public genuinely loves violence, as long as it's directed against other bad people.

Elixir and Phoenix are amazing. I use them any chance I get. The problem now is that the ecosystem is still in early stages. You're gonna end up writing some more libraries whereas in an ecosystem like Ruby there are gonna be plenty of gems handling the typical things like Api wrappers.
I use the reflog all the time to fix my own rebase mistakes; it's just on rebasing I've done locally, and where the results haven't made it out to a shared repo.
I would have thought a lower frequency of posting would be an indication of a greater weighting of the content when something was posted. Of course, as far as keeping eyeballs for a long time, that's not what keeps people on the feed. Maybe because those kind of posts are more likely to get people out of the feed and onto direct messaging instead? Rather than lots of stuff (reposts and shares) to scroll fast by and thus more space for ads to also scroll by.
These demos are cool but really highlight the fact that we are decades away from quantum computers that perform useful work.. So far all I've seen are parlor tricks.

Again with the insults. Then what is your damn argument? I've stated mine, several times. Please, state yours.

All I can do is guess that you are talking about users not only being inundated with forks, but not even being able to tell one fork from another, or even one coin from another because they all use the same names. And this is all fine for you because of anarchy or something.
If you have the budget, I think it's better to have different sets since the activities are so different you'll probably want drastically different things out of them.

So under that model, would Wikipedia, which uses javascript, be in the sandboxed-app client, and would you would be perfectly happy viewing it with javascript on, in that case?

I'm curious which sites you actually frequent which wouldn't count as "apps," but which still use javascript, and which would actually run in the static-only client you seem to prefer?
Discourse is fragmented because there are dozens of different communities that like to talk amongst themselves. I think that's fine. I don't always want to be talking on an internet megaphone and I definitely don't want to be listening to one all the time.

If they rename 'addon' to 'ad-on' that might help Mozilla manage user expectations.
Note that for fixing rebase mistakes, `git reflog` is not super user-friendly; each step in the rebase is included, including the ones that did not involve user intervention.

In those cases, it's better to use `git reflog $BRANCH_NAME`, which has the additional advantage of not including your switching from one branch to another.

This article is complete bullshit.

I'm a member of this group, only because I was added without my consent, which is probably the case for most of the users in the group.

Just for giggles, I watched them do a pump and dump one time, and they basically sold the pump hard, managed to get about 10 Bitcoin in some tiny market cap coin, and then one guy sold all the way back down and left the "members" of the group holding the bag.

This group is a scam, but not in the way that this article says.
