I hope you aren't claiming there is anything from a utility perspective that would make the iPhone X a rational purchase, aside from the appearance of wealth which can be utility depending on which business you're in.

Because the article says: "DHS says that airport face scans are designed to verify the identities of travelers as they leave the country and stop impostors traveling under someone else’s identity." and "DHS now claims the program is designed to detect a particular type of fraud defined in this report as “visa overstay travel fraud”"

That's the only justification given for the program.

It's not simply visa overstay. Sidebar 2 explains it as:

> “Visa overstay travel fraud” refers to a situation in which a foreign national wishes to remain in the United States undetected past the expiration of his visa and, to do so, arranges to have a conspirator leave the country in his place using the visa holder’s credentials. This creates an “exit record” in the visa holder’s name, fraudulently leading the government to believe that the visa holder has left the country, when in fact he has remained past the expiration of the visa, or “overstayed.”

That requires some sort of comparison between the documents and the body of the person leaving. It cannot be done in only a couple of programming hours.

His 'ineffective fumbling' and 'high school' seem to mirror my experiences. Using a bunch of mismatched books and computers with no real goals, no mentor, and no real results.

However, it's amazing when you read about <insert famous programmer>. They grew up with Apple II's and Commodore 64's, but they mastered them. Or at least that's the narrative from the author of the articles that talk about them.

They don't just write silly BASIC programs like the rest of us, they started using assembler and learn the machine like the back of their hand. They learn how to optimize the living crap out of their code. Maybe their schools just had better books in their libraries or they subscribed to the good magazines of the day. Or they were just that much better at programming and smarter and more focused, one of the above, or all three.
What if capitalism is obsolete?
It seems increasingly that if you are not an "elite" employee, region, nation, age-range, industry, etc., then you get left behind. Inequality is increasing and appears to be spreading to more factors.

Globalism and automation probably have something to do with it. It may just be a blip of history, OR what if this trend grows extreme? Society would be on a hair-trigger to collapse upon the next big recession.

Why a misnomer?
It might be capitalism in that trade and industry are controlled by private entities (that's still debatable because in the US nearly 30% of GDP is controlled by government entities, and most of rest is tightly regulated).

But it ain't "free enterprise" whenever regulation limits consumer choice and market entry by competitive participants.

Great queation. I guess I just enjoy the creative potential of recorded music, and take an active interest in seeking out tracks that are sonically progressive or further the canon of a certain (sub)genre.

This probably stems from a belief I have that music is the most mystical and powerful container of information and cultural communication that we have.

Amazing-- a class of (apparently) 30 students mysteriously synchronized on three answers to a wide open question. And alarm bells didn't go off in the professor's head that maybe there's some confirmation bias going on in this non-scientific survey.

Also amazing-- once the professor figured out that his students didn't have the prerequisites to understand the material, his next question was not how much debt the students had taken on in order to pay for this and presumably other classes they have no chance of understanding. This is especially irresponsible given that a) if they can't read on a third grade level it is certain they can't calculate compound interest and b) freshmen were enrolled who the professor could have at least convinced to drop out before accumulating so much debt they'd never be able to pay it back.

But instead of a courageous act of dissuading them from continuing down what is clearly the wrong patch-- an act which no doubt would have brought the dean's wrath-- he shames them for not having had a quality education-- something that is safe to belly-ache about to colleagues. And he left teaching anyway!

Question: did he give the money back to those students who had no chance of learning anything from the class he was paid to teach?

Technically, they're (or should be) referring to "txouts" or "outputs". An address with a large balance could still be unspendable if it is composed of many small outputs.

A single address can be the recipient of multiple payments (outputs) and a transaction spends those outputs. Since each output must be referenced in a transaction, each output takes up some space and fees are calculated based on the size of the transaction in bytes, not its value in BTC. This diagram I made a few years ago might help visualise: https://github.com/olalonde/bitcoin-notes/blob/master/svg/tr...

And so too can the office workers. To charge one group for the benefit of another, based solely on the manner of their employ, is the definition of unfair. This is what progressive taxation is for, not use taxes.
Some tools that can help:

* break the hard problem into smaller problems (e.g. "make a car that drives itself" would really benefit from considering smaller components)

* reframe the problem. Sometimes changing the perspective on a problem lets you leverage tools or techniques from related fields. For instance, there isn't much good literature on techniques for understanding obfuscated programs, much of it gets bogged down in low-level details and has a very short shelf life. But there is one field that has a lot of good literature on understanding and transforming programs: compilers. Realizing that was transformative in my own research.

* go bottom-up: are there special cases that are easier to solve than the whole? Can you generalize from there?

* go top-down: pretend that you could use some off-the-shelf components that would automagically solve parts of the problem. See if you can compose them into something that looks like a solution, then see how to implement them.
I spent every morning for several weeks playing A Dark Room while commuting by subway with my 7yo, so I this story really engaged me. My biggest takeaway is to think about this advice from Sam Altman:

http://playbook.samaltman.com
“A word of warning about choosing to start a startup: It sucks! One of the most consistent pieces of feedback we get from YC founders is it’s harder than they could have ever imagined, because they didn’t have a framework for the sort of work and intensity a startup entails. Joining an early-stage startup that’s on a rocketship trajectory is usually a much better financial deal.”

There are so many good jobs out there that are not just being a corporate drone. He has amazingly relevant experience for tons of companies.

He should find one that has already taken venture funding and ride the rocketship (along with punching a lottery ticket) while still getting a reasonable salary.
A little feedback -- I like the idea, but I think it is too brief, and therefore comes across a bit superficial ... it seems to imply that everything was magically happy ever after other than a few bumps in the road.

The struggle with the story-based approach, I guess, is to find the sweet spot where you're detailed enough that the story has some meat to it, but not too overly detailed such that it takes 2 hours and deep concentration to read.

(I don't know how to find that sweet spot, so I'm not throwing stones. Just wanted to pass on some feedback in case it helps).
No regulatory issues. The aluminum acts to increase the antenna gain (i.e. concentrate the signal in a particular direction). The total power does not increase instead you take some from one place and add it to another.

There are tons of products for sale. You can get a replacement antenna that is a directional dish for example, instead of the typical omnidirectional dipole (stick).
Other ways of putting this:

* How is home more than a commodity (housing) for a person?

* What socialized costs occur when individuals and therefore their social/economic networks are disrupted by changes to cost of living?

What do you mean by "liberal"?

For e.g. neither Hollywood/Silicon Valley are "economically leftist"---they would be considered "liberal" in Europe, where "liberal" refers to "economically liberal", i.e. policies similar to "laissez faire" (which seems about right for Hollywood/SV).

On the other hand, they are also supportive of "progressive norms", such as "LGBTQ rights" or "multiculturalism", which are often bunched up together with being "liberal" in the US. However, being "socially liberal" is very different from being "economically liberal", and I am not sure there is any tight correlation between the two, let alone causative influence. In Europe, for example, there is a tight anti-correlation between the two.

So, what do you mean by "liberal ideology is a significant enabler of inequality"? Do you mean that "less liberal economic policies", or in other words "socialist economic policies" might benefit the region? Or do you mean that "socially liberal ideals" (which are essentially about caring for others, because you lack the belief that people are born where they are meant to be) have allowed for inequality?

This has been going on for quite some time now, maybe a couple of decades.

Homeschool kids have diverged into at least a couple of camps. I live in a relatively affluent, liberal town, that hosts a major public university. My kids are in an activity that's also quite popular among homeschool families, so I've met a few of those kids. They're great kids, and tend to be ahead of their public school peers academically, while being on a par socially.

Then I was just talking to a relative who lives in another state, and his observation was quite different: The homeschool kids in his locale are practically uncivilized.

Another reason is many things always going downhill, and people remembering them, while younger people grew up already familiar with the decline.

That's not very different a story than the continuous progress myth, just has an opposite sign.

Fact is, some eras progress for the better, and others regress (Weimar Republic, the fall of Rome, and countless other examples). And that's overall. In specific things, it can vary as well in opposite direction to the overall trend.

And long periods are relatively stagnant, such that people for centuries on end, or even millennia, live more or less the same (e.g. most rural areas in Europe between 400 A.D and 1900 A.D.), and few speak about the "good old days" there.

"But the biggest pain point remains the whole NFS mess"

That's a little unfair. NFS has been around for a very long time and yet it is still modern and being developed. You do have to do things the Unix way to get the most out of it, so you need to get Unix uid/gid standardised across your network for example. Samba's winbind and the rid backend to idmap is a rather easy way to turn AD users into full Unix users with consistent uid/gid.

If you get your time, DNS and user IDs right then NFS can be pretty easy and very, very reliable. On modern Unix systems, you also have Samba to play with and other things. Lots of choice and with a bit of thought and research, you will find a decent solution.

A signal from the "correct" direction will have ~half its energy reflected towards the antenna, resulting in gain. A signal from the "wrong" direction will have ~half its energy reflected away from the antenna, resulting in attenuation. It won't shield, though. That requires that you dissipate the signal somewhere.

But to be fair, it's a wild guess. It's a semi-flat piece of foil placed at an angle, at a random distance from 3 individual antennas. That's why I linked to the nice and simple, easy-to-calculate yagi-uda for if you want to hack with antenna gain.

I am at work right now, so I can only respond to the abstract.

One significant task for a future psychology
of optimal functioning is to deemphasize
individual freedom and to determine which
cultural constraints are necessary for people
to live meaningful and satisfying lives.

The big leap here is the assumption that the allegedly necessary cultural constraints have to be determined from the outside. Liberal democracies, especially the USA, allow overlapping cultural groups to provide such
constraints along with the safety valve of exit -- e.g. the Amish can
have their culture, but individuals who are sick of it can still survive
as "mere" Americans.

Now it is true that nominally "liberal" regimes sometimes try to choke off these groups. E.g. it is very unlikely that a new group as outlandish as the Amish would be allowed to form. But if you don't like such burka-banning tendencies, please note that the problem is not too much freedom, but too much constraint.

> Furthermore, the name does not need to be in DNS. There is no single source of true DNS anyway (though of course the ~whole world uses the same root servers).

That is not "furthermore", that is what "as understood by the client" means.

> Try it. I just set up a remote server for "snitest", added the IP address to /etc/hosts only, generated a cert for that name only, and got the correct cert via SNI in a local browser.

That is a fully qualified DNS hostname, by definition. You told both your server that it was a DNS FQDN it should serve and your client that it was a DNS FQDN that it should request, and so they obviously were matched exactly as required by the standard. Whether DNS is involved in the resolution process is irrelevant, especially so given that the standard nowhere specifies the DNS root to use.

> The same process (minus /etc/hosts modification) also worked for a bare (textual representation of an) IP address.

What was the name type in the certificate? That sounds like a bug in the client, and possibly in the server as well.

If my IOT freezer could reduce the temperature of the freezer by a further 5c when power is negative and let it rise a couple of c when price rises above 1 standard deviation from the median price then the price signals could be used to modulate demand.

This would save me money, and reduce demand on the grid when there is no renewable energy. My freezer would effectively become a battery, storing energy as a reduced temperature. Multiply this across all households and add in other devices like tumble driers and you could have a real impact.

Have you seen A Dark Room? It's text.

He ported a text game, that someone else had already designed and implemented, to iOS.

This is not a huge amount of work compared to what most game development people do, and is not particularly challenging compared to what people are doing with 3D graphics, etc.

I am pointing this out not to be mean, but to respond to your point: "those who work as hard as he does and are as smart as him". What he did for A Dark Room was something pretty much any iOS programmer can do, and in those conditions it's natural not to expect to be noticed in a crowded market. i.e. he evidently did not do anything noticeably smarter or work noticeably harder than anyone else.

This doesn't mean he can't do smarter and bigger things, just that a port of ADR is not that, and neither were his other descriptions of projects he did in the meantime (for example, look at the screenshots for Mildly Interesting RTS).

I think when this is the limit of what one is attempting, one has no right to complain that people aren't buying one's stuff (and should not be surprised at that either!)

The funny part is that FreeBSD has had years to even implement anything as simple as ASLR but it didn't and instead starting to reject other peoples code.
What HardenedBSD did is basically following the PaX model which has been documented for a long time[1].

In my experience, "English" classes is a broad catagory that refers more to literature (broadly defined) then the language.

Granted, in my highschool practically every class involved essays, but my movies "English" class didn't involve any more than my math classes did. (Admittedly, I do not know how to compare the length of a math paper with the length of an English paper).

>I think the most likely explanation for this story is that the students thought the professor was asking a trick question, so no one wanted to raise their hand.

It also froze me for several minutes as I tried to figure out what is going on with cats/cat's/cats'. (I gave up because I cannot figure out how I pronounce cats'.
