The experiment does not sound too good to me. They had to retrain the formerly decapitated worms. The article does not mention how much faster the "refresher course" trained the decapitated worms.
Since browser vendors like telemetry, there could be an optional plugin to monitor website consumption of endpoint resources, similar to weather sensors that submit to a central public database. Measure and track the consumption of the top 100 JS scripts globally, to motivate improvement.
Thanks for the list, just thought I would point out there was a bit of momentary confusion over the phrasing "critical to" vs "critical of".

The former implies the reporter was an important asset to Gianforte and that's how I parsed it at first.
There's a reason why after the total smoking bans in American prisons, cigarettes were displaced as a de facto currency by... instant ramen.
A few of my own:

1. Keep a stick of butter at room temperature in a closed container. It doesn't seem to go bad (at least not if you use it within a couple of months) and it's so much more spreadable.

2. Use the broiler in your oven. It makes food taste similar to if you'd grilled it. (This might not be a "hack," since it's just working as intended.)

3. Make buttered (or olive oiled) toast in the broiler. Put on the butter in advance, then broil until it's golden brown. That way the fat soaks through.

4. Clean your blender by blending water and detergent.

5. Make bland coffee taste better by adding cinnamon to the grounds before you brew it.

6. Use your stale bread for making french toast instead of throwing it out. This is how french toast was invented, I think, but it might not be obvious that you can do this.
A pardon erases prison time, it does not erase any fines resulting from said crime, and also is admitting guilt to the crime[1]. One of the biggest things a pardon does as a result of that (like a guilty plea does as well) is open you up to civil suits. Also, accepting a pardon prevents you from pleading the 5th on any further or follow up charges related to said crime. It is a pretty slippery slope actually. Your question is an interesting one, but one better suited for a Constitutional law scholar such as Professor Lawrence Tribe (runs the constitutional law program at Harvard).

FPGAs run an order of magnitude slower than an ASIC would. Most of this is due to routing delays unless you take great care and do a lot of it semi-manually. On the logic side you can't easily do a lot of the fun stuff like cycle stealing and using latches because the FPGA toolchains don't handle that well.
Yes, I know from personal experience.

You can. The Apple account needed for the App Store is independent of iCloud. You can create this account on the apple website, then use it to sign into the device (separately from iCloud). Just say no to all requests which ask for iCloud signon, during device setup.

You can directly transfer files to a Linux PC (via SFTP, WebDav, SMB) with iOS apps like Transmit, Coda, GoodReader, Briefcase and others.
> \r\n is the semantically correct way to represent a newline, because \r is Carriage Return (x=0) and \n is Line Feed (y++)

You left out a key qualifier: CR/LF is the semantically correct way to represent a newline on a physical device that has a physical carriage that has to move back to x=0 and advance one line in the y direction in order to start a new line. What devices connected to any computer today have that property? Answer: none.

In fact, even on computers that have such devices connected, the semantic meaning of "newline" in any file the user actually edits is most likely not to actually cause a CR/LF on the device. Word processing programs for decades now have separated the in-memory and on-disk file data from the data that actually gets sent to a printer. So the file you are editing might not even have any hard "newlines" in it at all, except at paragraph breaks--and that's assuming the file format uses "newline" to mark paragraph breaks, instead of something else.
Definitely get it expunged from your record if at all possible. Note: expungement does not automatically update a bunch of private background check databases that will also have copies of your criminal history. You may need to hire a 3rd party service to handle purging records from private databases.

> They are claiming that over a sufficient period of time the coin will trend towards its target

This is not what the MakerDAO team, nor any other stablecoin shill, is claiming. They are claiming the system "ensures" that the stablecoin is "a money that will always maintain its purchasing power."

"Ensure" and 'always' don't mean "trend towards over time." They mean always, as in all the time. If their intention is to sell a different product, I can only suggest they make more representations which are a little harder to falsify.
If I'm hiring, say, a developer or sysadmin who will have access to private data (financial, health, etc.) for millions of people it would be irresponsible of me not to check to see if the applicant had been convicted of any financial or data-related crime.

Being good at something does not automatically make you a trustworthy person just as having been convicted of something in the past doesn't automatically make you untrustworthy.

However, failing to disclose that you've been convicted of a crime that may be perceived as a possible red-flag or risk for a job you're interviewing for does, in my opinion demonstrate a lack of trustworthiness.

Note that I'm not saying the parent poster is untrustworthy. For all I know the crime he'd been convicted of had absolutely no relation to his job and he was young and perhaps not as wise at that point. I'm speaking only about my own views when interviewing and hiring technical people.
It's because windows line endings are actually the technically correct one.

Manning was not pardoned. But that's all rather moot. People have run for office from prison (and won).
Whether it is disabled or not, depends on the phone vendor. In the phones that I have currently available (Google, Sony, Samsung), all the Google applications can be disabled. Samsung usually prevents disabling their applications, but still allows disabling Google ones.

If your vendor prevents disabling the apps, you can still try the route using adb and pm (google for adb pm disable).

The point I was making about /system is, that you don't want to mess with it, even if you have root. You can break more than you think, including dm-verity, and then you are not going to boot anymore. Also, apps installed in /system are getting updates installed into /data, so it is not going to solve your problems with space anyway. You would have to repartition your phone, which on ARM platforms opens a new can of worms (partitions are defined in the secondary boot loader, which is signed too. Moreover, if you do this wrong, you get a brick, you are not going to boot without reflashing the original SPL in an external programmer).

This is unresponsive. I'm asking how many Americans voted into public office someone known at the time to be a criminal of the highest degree (e.g., someone convicted of espionage and aiding the enemy like Manning).
There is no right way to go about it unless your family is in politics. Every single character who has entered political life for the first time has to fight establised power centers.
This is awesome. Whether or not you believe her actions were good for the country (I believe they were), this is a good example for all counties about how committed we are as a nation to democracy.

The framers designed our government to overthrow itself every few years, and I believe it was intentional that we could elect somebody who has been tried and convicted of crimes to represent us as citizens, if we wish to do so. I'm not a resident of Maryland, and will not be in a position to evaluate and vote on the candidates, but I do think the fact that this race is possible is something we can take real pride in.
She has no experience, a felony conviction for violating the Espionage Act, and a dishonorable discharge.

Maryland is home to a huge number of defense and intelligence workers. According to Wikipedia, Fort Meade (which is the headquarters of the NSA) is the state's biggest employer.

Play Services is a framework, used by other apps, includes handling Google Accounts and push notifications (and this is only the top of the iceberg). Without it, your device would become Kindle-like, and all the apps that do not run on Kindle (or other, Google-less Android versions) would not run on yours too.

On my personal phone (Sony), I have only Play Services, Play Store, Gmail, Hangouts, Maps and Youtube enabled. All the other are disabled, including the 'Google' app.
They are not doing fine. How can you trust a company if they don't provide the source code? I consider it as very likely that they want to hide something.
If there are thin enough markets of course "always maintains purchasing power" is impossible. This is true for USD ad well.

I'll go right ahead and call you a conspiracy theorist.
> I would not be comfortable working with people who have committed violent felonies.

I think that's still a very broad category. There's situations that could lead to violent acts but wouldn't mean that person was a risk in the workplace. We all know people who've been in fights and sheer bad luck can turn a brawl into homocide. (a "lucky" punch, an "unlucky" fall leading to a head injury).

Personally I've never been in a fight other than the playground shoving kind - and violence seriously freaks me out. But I know that people I know and trust could have easily crossed that line if chance had have played them a different hand.

No worries! History teaches us that people do move from destitute to better situations. India is sure as hell a gigantic mammoth task, but not giving up.

Unless you have kids, I would suggest you to try moving back and attempt a helping hand. If we fail, we can again look for other opportunities. Just a personal perspective.
Interesting, but I think that data would be only semi-useful for marketers. Situations change, needs change, and for some things, on a frequent basis. I imagine most users are disinterested in constantly going into their preferences to update what they're willing to view. It's much easier for them to let someone passively observe their life and web activity the way Facebook or Google do it. And except for a number of tech savvy tinfoil hats, most people would still choose convenience over privacy and security. The proof is in the numbers. So this would probably be dead in the water for Firefox because few marketers would find value in it. Hopefully, I'm wrong about people continuing to value convenience over privacy and security though.
I've always considered it against the American spirit to strip any citizen of the right to vote.

Labor costs are capital expenses; computing cost is an ongoing operational expense.
That's a very graphic visualisation. You've got to wonder if every one saw and understood this whether there would be greater tolerance and understanding to avoid war...
There are lots of things that people would never do if they were paying for them directly. Government contracts are notoriously padded and wasteful and often serve the interests of a select few with the right connections; it's one of the strongest arguments against big government, even if we assume the government has good intentions and is making good democratic decisions rather than oligarchic ones (which I don't think can realistically be argued to be the case here).

So, yeah, it's wasteful of taxpayer money, but also extremely profitable for the few people who have the lobbyists and the ability to exploit the system.
The difference being that USD doesn't pretend to be pegged to anything. My point about MakerDAO is that the development team is claiming the impossible is possible.
Maybe they know, so they don't really care. :D

>Why are VPNs using much more power on mobile?

It can leave connection open which prevents many cellular radio technologies from falling into lower power state.

Really depends on how optimized the cell modem is and how often keepalive packets are being sent by the VPN. Honestly, I haven't seen too much of a battery hit on ipsec VPN on the iphone SE. However, my older android phones used to get shredded on OpenVPN.

EDIT: If anyone's asking, I use the algo.sh script to deploy ipsec vpn on digitalocean (has option to enable adblocking too) https://github.com/trailofbits/algo.
I wonder, if you will agree, the rich always have an advantage compared to the poor. In terms of education, better life etc. So I can see why we blame British; the parts where they were most effective are factually poor when compared to the other side.

Not in any way mean that we should blame them even after 70 years.

"What would the TempleOS of CPUs look like, I wonder?"

In the old days, probably Burroughs B5000 for it being high-level with security and programming in large support built in before those were a thing. If about hackability, the LISP machines like Genera OS that you still can't quite imitate with modern stuff. If a correct CPU and you want it today, then I've been recommending people build on VAMP that was formally-verified for correctness in Verisoft project. Just make it multicore, 64-bit, and with microcode. Once that's done, use the AAMP7G techniques for verifying firmware and priveleged assembly on top of it. Additionally, microcode will make it easier to turn it into a higher-level CPU for cathedral-style CPU+OS combos such as Oberon, a LISP/Scheme machine, or Smalltalk machines. Heck, maybe even native support for Haskell runtime for House OS.

We have current generation anti-ship missiles as well. So let's say that in a full scale war all surface vessels are gone, and let's say there are no nuclear exchanges.

Our submarine fleet and long range bombing ability are still far superior. Russia and China have near zero force projection capability. Even with surface ships gone, we still have more.

Russia and China both accept that they can't match the US, and all of their strategies for war with us are defensive strategies designed to make it too expensive for us to bother.

No one seriously doubts American military dominance today--not even potential rivals.
That isn't really correct, as I understand it. The staffers get background checks, the senators and representatives take a secrecy oath in lieu of a process administered by the executive.

And really, with the separation of powers, how else would it work? The legislators are supposed to oversee things the executive does, do you think that it would be constitutional for the executive to tell the legislature to go fly a kite if the legislature asked to be told things? That, itself, could/would be unconstitutional...

I think Aaron had more than a little to do with those changes. I'm certain he inspired many within the academic world to think about where and how they published in ways they may not have in the past and helped trigger the pushback from public organizations that sponsor research in recent years. And, there have been numerous technical runs at the problem that were very likely inspired by Aaron's work.

It's getting better, but not by accident. People like Aaron made it get better.
Precisely. Why would anyone do that is beyond me.
That appears more to do with Apple prioritizing iOS over macOS, not deprioritizing security and privacy. Not that this explanation is any more acceptable.
A stablecoin isn't a store of value. It's an instrument for holding pretend Fiat. It's a way for holders to pretend they are the Fed, and say "Now I have USD! You can have it. Just sell it back to someone else eventually because it's pretend."

It's an index basically, not an actual commodity.

(Except of course in the sense that Everything Is A Commodity in the crypto world.)

So ... store the credentials for the API in your head then?!

Erm ... no, it's not? The bank sends me IP packets, what happens with those IP packets is completely under my control (or under the control of anyone who happens to have compromised my computer, for that matter). I select what web browser I use. I could write my own web browser. Or modify an existing one. Or run it under a debugger. Or just not use a browser at all. What my computer does with the IP packets my bank sends me is completely out of the bank's control.

>If the people should not be there in the first place, and if they should be rehabilitated instead of punished, that's another matter and should be solved on its face

No, the point of prison IS rehabilitation not punishment. It is senseless, stupid and cruel to punish people even if that does not improve their behavior - it helps no one. And prison is not EITHER punishment OR rehab, its a mix, and the more we move it towards rehab the better it is for everyone.

Besides, your argument is "oh some people in Africa can't eat chicken, so what the fuck is anyone complaining about?" is ridiculous. Some people don't get vaccinations, healthcare, shelter either so by that logic why don't we just throw all the prisoners onto an island huh?

Prisoners are people, not subhuman trash to be discarded as you would like.
But isn't 'hover around the same value long term' maintaing the purchasing power? I guess if you interpret the marketing as 'will literally always be worth $1.00' you'll be disappointed but it's weird to take that interpretation when it's not really attainable for anything that isn't a US dollar.
