That’s where I have to disagree... as most mathematicians I tend towards the idea that mathematical structures are discovered (even though techniques might be invented). There’s clearly an underlying pattern to physics, and the two main theories have to be reconciled somehow since the Universe hangs together pretty coherently; it’s just as obvious (to me, at least) that they’re mapping something with these procedures and that what they’re finding is not a side-effect of the procedure that gets randomly instantiated by the algorithm.

The fact that you use the authority argument means you are the opposite of an authority on objective truth.

If anything it is the one place where getting the objectivity wrong has no consequences. In a typical company if you are getting the truth about something wrong (e.g. what people want, what people are willing to pay, where the market will move to) the lack of profit margins will refute the correctness.

In a newsroom however objective truth is a hygiene issue like a cook washing his hands. They should. But if they don't it has very few consequences.
> They can't manifest into substantive action, Rohrabacher-Farr prohibits it.

Rohrabacher-Farr only applies on its face to state medical cannabis laws, and in any case Trump's signing statement on the spending bill containing the first renewal during his administration implied that the administration views the provision as unconstitutional. So, there's certainly action that the DoJ could take consistent with the administration rhetoric, from a couple different angles. It would hardly be the only example of this administration aggressively probing the limits of its power until and unless explicitly constrained by the courts.

"Just use a password manager" is actually a simplification for doing proper threat modelling because most people don't bother thinking about it.

For each site you have to consider; what is the worst thing that could happen if somebody gain access to that account? Do you have a meaningful online presence on the website? Did you enter private information that you don't want to go out? Did you provide your credit card to the site? It would actually be useful if sites where classified by the type of information and access that they require.

Another short answer would be: memorize your computer, email and password-manager passwords. Use the password manager for day-to-day sites. Add a second factor for juicy targets like net banking. For all the other sites, generate a random string and throw it away. Use password reset the next time you want to log into it.

I think at some point it comes down to skill of talent too.

Most locales also have companies that know that the best talent can go to the Bay Area and make $150,000 and much more, so they offer salaries that are way above normal for the area, but competitive to Bay Area salaries.

But if you’re not on that side of the talent scale (or not perceived as being on that side of it), your salary ends up being in line with your locales average salary across multiple industries for “mid level job requiring a bachelors degree”

Isn't price the signal the market uses to tell what is more valuable? If another company is offering more for their candidate than your startup, then that means the other candidate has more value to the countries economy.

By the end of the week he was out. Both founders said they would only hire domestically from now on and do a better job of screening people.

Gravity personal flight suit
That's the meme, and I used to think that it could be true. I'd worked at some small and large game studios, and now I'm at one of the big three software companies. Things are much, much more hacked together here than in any of my previous jobs. The main difference here is that we can throw money and people at a problem: over-scale things by ridiculous amounts, hire whole teams for basic things.

At the game studios I've worked at, programmers created unique designs that worked really well for the games they were made for, usually created and maintained by a single person. These things are rarely evangelized due to lack of time, resources, or need (games still come in boxes, and the codebase doesn't need to live forever.) An outside engineer might see it and think it's poorly designed because they haven't seen the pattern on HN.

I think that we'll see more robust engineering discussion from game programmers as games as a service becomes more the norm.

This is all anecdotal, and I'd like to hear what others think.
...as opposed to hadrons (and other composte particles) made up by trios of quarks bound together by streams of gauge bosons (gluons that also recursively interact with themselves, generating more gluons), W and Z gauge bosons, and electromagnetic gauge bosons (photons).

That sounds a bit confusing, I’m sure, but aside from the gluons creating other gluons, there’s no recursion. In Chen’s view, it was alternating “turtles all the way down”...
Interesting take. Where I live (The Hague, Netherlands), trams are slowly turning into light rail systems. Where trams historically shared the roads with cars, they are now increasingly running on separate tracks (elevated or otherwise). This allows for different kinds of (more comfortable) trains, because they do not need to be built for collisions with cars.
Also important to note the different between carbs and net carbs. Leafy greens are high in fiber, which is a carb, but you need to subtract that value from the total carbs per serving to get to a net carb count (i.e. total carbs your body can actually turn into energy)
The other effect is that drug prohibition can (and currently does) function as a subsidy for violent transnational criminal organisations: the difficulty in transporting contraband inflates its price at the destination, and if Alice's drug-trafficking operation can obtain a competitive advantage over Bob's by killing Bob's personnel; she just might. Without the doorkickers of the DEA and friends, there'd be no hyperviolent drug lords.

Without prohibition, drug trafficking operations have to compete with fully licit container ships and will get annihilated; because the illicit drug trade's transport methods are optimised to evade detection and without that selection pressure, there's no point for all the violence and the concealment tactics.

I use https://securemypw.appspot.com (because I wrote it).

I need to remember just 1 good password (that I don't use anywhere else). I use it to encrpyt different passwords for different uses (gmail, banking, etc). I put the url with encrypted password in my bookmarks and a google doc (to share with my wife).

To hack me, the attacker would need get both the link (from my laptop's bookmarks) or from the google doc ... and then would need to guess the password to decrypt it.
I’m just commenting on how difficult it is to render these concepts by means of metaphors, analogies, and colloquialisms.

What does this buy me over the other more popular frameworks? What are the chances that this won't be abandoned if it doesn't gain traction? It's also easier to recruit developers if you say your stack is built on the more popular frameworks.

On the other hand, even though I've never used Ruby on Rails, this is written by BaseCamp so I do give them a slight benefit of a doubt. Just like I would give Kotlin the benefit of a doubt based on my experience with JetBrains' products.
I used to open a text editor and mash on the keyboard until I had an 8-12char password. I'd then type that sequence out again 10-20 times until it was burned into my memory. Then I close the editor without saving it :) Let your subconscious "muscle-memory" remember the password for you! Bonus point: if someone tries to coerce you into revealing your password, you honestly won't know what it is without typing it out. This doesn't seem to scale beyond doing it a few times as they get hard to remember, but it can make for a few secure email/banking passwords.

> Doesn't this compromise all of your passwords if one of your passwords is discovered?

I've been trying to understand password managers for a while. My workplace forces us to use one.

But what you've said doesn't make sense. If your "master password" used in the password manager is discovered, then all your passwords are compromised.

If my laptop or phone gets stolen and someone knows the password from my password manager, then I'm done for.

I choose to follow the algorithm approach too. Even though it's BS.
Depends on your design. The Saturn V was big enough to launch the entire lunar stack of vehicles in one shot. Anything less than that requires in orbit assembly.

IIRC: Saturn V could put 100k pounds in lunar injection. The first SLS will be around 50k, the Falcon Heavy around 40k.

Layer versions of the SLS, should we choose to spend more tens of billions developing them, will eventually have Saturn V capabilities.

The BFR (as planned) will be the largest capacity rocket ever made. Putting 300k+ in low earth orbit. It’s designed to be refueled in orbit, so essentially it’s lunar/mars injection orbit payload caisvity is 300k+.

It’s also designed to be fully reusable, unlike the Falcon series that only reuses main boosters. So it’s claimed to be far cheaper than them, and they are already the most affordable rockets ever made.

The SLS is designed to be crushed and melted like a beer can after every launch, which is why it will cost $2B+ per launch.

> it needs shortening but any proposal with 'original creator' center and foremost is basically ignoring the reality of modern content production

There's a handful of ways to do it if you are not going to center copyright terms around the life of the original creator, some of which I think are better than others but I'll try to leave most of my opinion out of this.

1. You can center it around first publication. In this scenario you actually do not automatically retain copyrights unless you actually publish, and then you would likely need to define in detail what publication is.

Is sharing in an email message or WhatsApp "publication"? I would argue not, but the law would need to reflect this. Again without spinning this discussion off into a tangent, there's probably multiple ways you could write that into the law, but some language like "made available to the public for free or for a fee" etc. or whatever the American legalese equivalent of that sentence would be. IANAL

2. You could center it around the registration date with the Library of Congress. Again, in this scenario you do not actually automatically retain copyright, and while it massively simplifies the letter of the law, it shifts more of the burden to the Library of Congress to retain records. In this scenario, you would file a registration with a full copy of the work or specifications or some other means of defining it in the case of things like statues. Probably the main advantage of this is that the Library of Congress then has a full copy of the text, source code, blueprints, etc. that it can then automatically publish itself upon the copyright's expiration.

Anything you do though, I would do it for a fixed term, say, just to pick a random number out of the air, 50 years and no more. No renewals, just one copyright term and that is it. You can choose to relinquish it to the public domain before that time has come to pass but you could not extend it.
> How are these mutually exclusive? Plenty of desktop software requires a signup first. And plenty of webapps do not require a login.

It isn't. My point is, signups are at least as inconvenient as having to install things, and are quite prevalent on the platform. It doesn't make much sense to credit the web's success on removing the need for installs. Hell, it was still super popular even when installing Flash was basically a requirement.

> It's rare to find a game that doesn't start by installing DirectX, Visual C++ Redistributable, and more.

All of which is handled automatically for the user (and regardless is usually unnecessary and only done the way it is because of Microsoft's distribution license terms for DirectX).

>Modern browsers have powerful sandboxes and always-active updates to address security threats. Sounding indignant isn't actually making a point.

OS's have always active updates, in Windows's case whether you want them or not, and plenty of security options. Web browsers have a huge attack surface that has been exploited at least as often as OSs.

> Browsers are very standardized these days. It's very rare that I write code that doesn't work cross-plat immediately.

Impressive. I guess all those frameworks out there that are meant to abstract away all the implementation quirks between IE's various iterations, Edge, Chrome, and FF are useless then?

> And on mobile? Remember we're talking true cross platform here. Apple's App Store has far more limitations than you'll run into on the web.

Mobile web is still a goddamned garbage fire as far as I can tell. There's a reason all those popular web sites have native apps in the app store.

Oh the old bait and switch works very well for telephone interviews. Remove them ideally.

Perhaps a solution to this could be to give the interviewee something that only he can give the interviewer back when they meet. Something that the interviewee cannot pass onto the 'real' candidate who will appear on the first day. On the other hand, fining the real candidate is the worst way possible, it has to be better than that.

It can help prevent this attempt of 'baiting and switching' to a lesser competent candidate in the first place.

The attitude should change from 'Oh I can give this test, I'll pass it for sure and you can pay me $X for it', to
'Screw that, they'll find out immediately that it wasn't me.'
