In Transylvania, ibric is just the small pot used to brew Turkish coffee, while a tea kettle is ceainic. The terms don’t overlap.

I recently heard from a Turk that ibrik in Turkish today refers only to the small bucket used for washing oneself in Middle Eastern toilets. For the pot used to brew coffee, they say cezve.
A website with no functionality responds quickly and the API graph can be up 100% if it only returns a static message (didn't test their API). But they should've removed that API chart, a bit misleading.
My upbringing was middle-class, my dad taught for a time in Sheffield - tea just meant "evening meal" and was probably always a larger hot meal than was served at school dinners.

In South Wales they talk about "cooked dinner" which is a roasted meat meal, usually chicken for Sunday lunch, but can be any time of the week. Presumably that harks back to families having lots of uncooked meals (through poverty).

This is basically (but quite a bit more powerful) than the auth system that The Magazine used back then (enter mail address, get a link, click and have cookies set). I loved that and wish more sites would do something like that.

And from the view point of a site owner it's even better: you don't handle passwords anymore. Passwords that many users share among several sites. So you won't be responsible for really, really keeping them secure. Because you don't have them.

Additionally, mail providers and browser vendors have much more security knowledge than pretty much everyone offering a web service.

> The notion that the modern Chinese person is racist towards the Japanese is pretty laughable, for example.

It's hard to see how anyone with any familiarity with China who does not themselves hate Japanese would laugh at this.

Not only is there widespread hatred of Japan (including Japanese people whose parents weren't even born during WWII), but it's fanned by the government[1]. Anti-Japanese specials run on TV during national week and over 200 anti-Japanese films are produced in China every year. In some cases anti-Japanese films are censored for being too moderate. A well known example is the 2000s war film, Devils at the Doorstep, which was nationally banned for including a scene where one Japanese soldier was friendly with Chinese villagers.

Despite your implication that modern China suffers less from this, surveys have shown that anti-Japanese sentiment in China is higher among the current generation than among the Chinese who lived through the war occupation. [2]

Personal anecdote is the weakest form of argument in this kind of debate, but I'll also add that while living on the mainland, I've personally received criticism simply for having befriended several Japanese students during my uni days.

I know where you're trying to go with this and your heart is in the right place, but the example is awful and does not help in the slightest. I have a feeling that I'm gonna get "ugh, replies like yours are exactly the problem, smcl!" but to me asking children to come up with some good side of slavery is up there with trying to find the good side of the holocaust. Whether "good" or "bad" is in quotes doesn't really change that it's a stupendously bad way to approach the subject.

It might be an intellectually stimulating conversation for some, but if it's a conversation only occurring in hushed tones in coffee shops or in private then I think that's probably for the best.

Honestly, anyone familiar w/even a smattering of (past or present) American approaches to science/medicine involving "minorities" shouldn't be responding the way that you are.

Agreed that having a bunch of index.jsx files is super annoying. Though I prefer to just create a `./ComponentName.jsx` file on the same level as the `./ComponentName/` folder instead.

You can still import it as `./ComponentName` as you would with having `index.jsx` inside the folder. Best of both worlds, IMO.

Explaining why an upgrade didn't work doesn't compromise security. I'd guess moving the data didn't work or they corrupted a database and don't know how to repair it..

Thanks for the recommendation, I will take a look at it.

This kind of reminds me how I felt when I was reading both those books. I had already seen all the memes about 1984 not being an instruction manual, and it left me kind of confused, because the direction the west is moving towards doesn't really resemble what was described in the book (at least, not yet). Then I read Brave New World and it certainly read like something more relevant to our current situation. Both are horrifying stories though, and it pains me that US, a nation that once prided itself for being 'free' has 2 conflicting mainstream ideologies, both of which call for a bigger government in an attempt to oppress the other side.

BEWA pre-launch: soft cryptocurrency wallet with cast
Hey!

We are about to launch the first prototype for a crypto soft wallet, BEWA.

When using other soft wallets, such as Exodus or Jaxx, you can only manage your portfolio from the devices you've linked – your phone, any computer where you install their desktop apps. We are developing a mirroring tech that allows us to cast an interactive screen on any desktop/smart tv from the phone sending only meta-data, so there's no need to pair your account, and when you leave there's no trace left behind. Think Google Cast, but with extended interactive functionality (trading, alerts, advanced/bigger views on charts).

This allows us to keep your private keys on your phone and use it as the log in device, and at the same time, allow you to manage your portfolio with a more confortable/expanded second interface on any screen you are working on (at home, at work, on a library, etc)

We are just about to publish our first version, so I'm keen on getting some feedback from the community and if any of you is interested on the launch you can leave your email – there's a small threee question interview in between.

We are looking for hard feedback on the idea, so go wild :)

I have a first gen Lenovo X1 Yoga, and it is hands down the best machine, I ever owned.

So I would always go for an X1. Btw. remember to upgrade the on-site warranty to 5 years from start!

Focused on Information Theory in grad school at Stony Brook in 1996/97, and enjoyed Nam Phamdo's courses. Sadly after reading 8-9 pages I feel like much of this review is over my head now. The words make sense but the concepts are pretty dense.

I do remember the algorithms (Huffman coding), but the high level concepts are harder to remember - information being directly correlated to randomness (entropy). Information is the unknown (random?) message, that sounds more like noise. Channel capacity makes sense: based on noise there's an upper limit on how fast you can communicate bits and groups of bits.
My concern too and the reason why I think it'll never truly work. IF someone can proof that you stored child pornography on your system then good luck fighting that.

Professional storage providers have legal departments that very carefully design systems in a way to avoid any responsibility. Also, those are limited liability companies and companies can't go to jail. As a private individual, I'd never offer to store anyone's data.

IMO the economy is much more like a biological system than a physical one. Systems that are studied in physics are neat and simple, with components that obey precise laws. Systems that are studied in biology are irreducibly complex, and often the laws that govern them are unknown.

I reckon you never worked in a Investment Bank. Weekends are often the only time to run major changes/upgrades.
That depends on what you mean by "getting the job done". If what you want is to write a reference description of a protocol for a paper, and make mathematical proofs of the protocol's properties, that's one thing. (The weakest model of computation there means you'll spend less proof effort around your surroundings -- language, environment -- and more on the protocol, giving you less leeway for error).

If you want to write a real-world implementation of the protocol, then the story is different, because the complexities of the real world are unavoidable. You will add complexity to your toolset, to deal with the aspects of the environment that you abstracted away in your paper.

When we write proofs for papers about type systems, we use ultra-simple languages like some typed variants of lambda calculus, which are the simplest thing that gets the job done. But once the type properties are proved, no one is expected to write their real programs that way -- they are expected to replicate those properties in the real world instead.
Look at something like CoinPayments.net they will let you accept any coin and if you link to a service that does exchange/banking it can auto-liquidate your coins for you.
> Once the children discovered the estate’s money was being used to pay the bank’s lawyers in the legal fight, they asked for the bank to stop using the account. JPMorgan did not comply. Eventually, the account was drained of all but $100, just enough to keep the account open. Then JPMorgan made its own novel legal move. The estate, as administered by the bank, took out a loan, from JPMorgan, for more than $900,000. The bank, in other words, loaned itself money, indebting the estate in the process.

Wow, just wow. Usually when I read articles about an investment bank doing something dodgy, I can play devil's advocate and talk it through from their point of view. But this time I am struggling to do that. So many things were done that were not just morally wrong, but legally too. I struggle to believe there was no one at JP who didn't point this out.
The processor handles that by "freezing" the price for ~15 minutes and hoping it averages out. Of course, that assumes that the transaction will take less than fifteen minutes to confirm, which... good luck.

Yet another of those articles about economics.

"For one thing, if economics is about solving scarcity and making people happy by optimising prices, then it appears to be doing a rather poor job. In many countries, inequality has ballooned in recent decades, while reported happiness levels seem to have peaked some time back in the 1960s. The financial crisis didn’t make many people happy, except some bankers."

This is like blaming the wheels for the fact that you crashed your car into a wall.

Or, imagine we would allow people to vote (along with all the political circus) on how physical principles are applied in industrial production: Why are the wings on 747 so ridiculously long and the capacity limited to couple hundred people? And what fool would build a ship from steel? Every child knows steel is heavier than water and will never flow, right?

Once our societies will be ruled by technocratic dictators applying the science of economics to the whole market you could write articles like this.
