As a Mormon myself, I can sympathize with the son's anxiety over not meeting expectations.

Religion, in general, is about helping individuals become "better" people. In the case of Christianity (including Mormonism), this comes down to encouraging the development of attributes like love, compassion, empathy, hope, virtue, integrity, honesty, knowledge, patience, humility, etc.

One way to do that is to develop rules (or commandments) to help people identify actions that would help to develop those attributes.

People can get so caught up in the "rules" that they miss the whole point, which is really just trying to be a better person. This causes people to judge others based on their adherence (or lack thereof) to the rules. Rather, what the religion is really trying to get us to do is to lift one another up because no one is perfect.

The quote "rather he come home in a pine box than engage in premarital sex" is an example of this problem. You cannot help someone be better if you are always pushing them down.

I have family members that don't practice the religion anymore, but no one in the family has any less love for them.
> Not everyone agrees social safety nets are a good thing. Some of us think properly preparing ourselves for retirement is more important.

I think you're missing the point. It doesn't matter if the State or the Individual is paying for it. Ultimately, services and care provided during retirement is provided by the young and healthy. If there aren't any young people, then no one will be available to provide care no matter who is trying to pay for it.
The Min Nan "t" is an unaspirated consonant (meaning if you hold your hand in front of your mouth when you pronounce it, you shouldn't feel the puff of air), like the t in Spanish. English speakers routinely interpret these sounds as aspirated consonants since we lack those sounds. Why Dutch writes it as thee, I don't know, since Dutch lacks aspiration. Wiktionary just said the h is faux-Greek but I don't understand the motivation of that.

> this idea that couples need to stay together for the kids or because that's what they promised 25 years ago is crazy.

The entire concept of marriage is that you will "stay together ... because that's what you promised xx years ago". So it's definitely not crazy, though the conception of marriage as a significant or binding thing has lost popular appeal over the years. And that only means that the Marriotts deserve more admiration for their willingness to stick up for stable marriages and responsible fathers despite the peanut gallery giving them flak.

There are times that divorce is justified, yes. But "I just don't love him/her anymore" is 1000% not one of them, and it's a relief to see people like the Marriotts unwilling to indulge their son's playboy fantasies.
> there is a lot of substance (in the complaint itself).

All that means is that Damore has a minimally competent attorney. A complaint and the supporting information in a complaint (which isn't required to include evidence at all, that's what trials are for) is constructed to sell the idea of a violation of legal right (and, often, in a case expected tomget public attention, secondarily for PR reasons). It is not, quite often, a fair reflection of what the full evidence in context will show, though to be at all ethical it should be a plausible interpretation of the most favorable evidence when all other evidence is discarded as untrustworthy.
Absolutely. But every single new operating system project falls into the trap of following all the same old patterns. It seems to be very difficult to approach problems and realize that the constraints that guided all of the old design choices simply no longer exist. Today different challenges exist and people would rather perpetuate re-creating the limitations of the past and then solving those nice understood problems than they would like to solve the new problems.

For instance, today we don't have text terminals. We have high-dpi displays. So why is the first thing you reach for a text buffer? Stop it. Vector-based fonts should be step zero. Raster graphics ought to come along pretty far down the line when you get to texture surfaces. We don't run with video units with basic memory-mapped framebuffers any more. Our storage also isn't seek-bound in most cases, we have RAM that can bust the limits of even old filesystem designs made for bulk storage. We have more now and just like the physicists say, More Is Different.

But the next revolutionary OS will probably come along and announce their goal of POSIX compliance and people will still trick themselves into thinking its 'new'. I'd rather see an OS that realizes the things the Internet and web have taught us and integrates it. What people want is search and instant-on application functionality. They don't care if it's "an app" or its "a webpage" or whatever. They want it to work, they don't want to "install", etc. And if you can murder the browser and get back to something native and cut the eye out of every company monetizing themselves through user behavior data sales, all the better!
I'm assuming this is predicated on the drone being absolutely still and that nothing in the scene (leaves on trees) is moving? Is that even realistic?
Nevertheless, all the major emotions/moods one can feel: sadness, joy, laziness, vigour, fear, enthusiasm, anger, limerence etc are almost nothing but chemical conditions. If you feel panic or are angry at somebody - that doesn't necessarily mean you are in danger or that somebody is an asshole - that means you have elevated level of norepinephrine and/or low serotonin and/or something like that. Feeling lazy doesn't mean you have fallen to the sin of sloth but that you have low levels of thyroxine and/or dopamine and/or norepinephrine and/or serotonin and/or something else. That's a huge problem the majority of people don't understand this, just keeping this in mind makes the life a lot easier for you, your family and everybody around. Also it usually is enough to take something as natural, cheap and harmless as L-tryptophan (an essential amino-acid, the precursor to 5-HTP and serotonin, easily available as an over-the-counter supplement and found in many foods naturally) to fix the problem, SSRIs and benzodiazepines are not necessary in every case.

Would you rather the problem be too many young people or too few? At least with too few, the environmental problems are lessoned. What's the point in having enough workers if we degrade the biosphere and change the climate too much to survive? That's the danger of an increasing population.

And we just can't rely on an increasing population indefinitely, even if we lived on Jupiter-sized planet. At some point, there are more people than the planet can support.

It's an unsustainable economic model.

>emergent phenomena in complex systems

Emergent phenomena in complex systems are not necessarily quantum. Weather, population dynamics, neural networks, chaotic systems can all be described with good'ol lagrangian mechanics. Other phenomena like certain phase transitions or spin glasses cannot. But what's the economic correspondence to those?

Overall I agree with you. Economics should be described with the math and physics of complex systems. Unfortunately data is poor, the math is hard, the psychology is complex. So we're not quite there yet.
I 100% disagree with everything you say here. For one, that is not a PR disaster as the headline you're using is one no one would ever use as it is insensitive. In fact what would happen is "New cancer treatment found to be more effective for minorities than previous treatments being test" would be a fabulous headline that would garner tons of support.

Saying "steer clear of minorities" shows complete "superiority" complex and is indicative of why the problem exists.
> They could have gone hardcore and said any non-primitive, unanotated platform type is nullable but that would have made interop really ugly.

Instead you just get a crash if it is null which is worse in my opinion.

> And all of the null checks would have muddied up code and added (admittedly minimal) runtime costs.

This already happens automatically for parameters to a Kotlin function; check out the Kotlin Intrinsics checks.
> This wouldn't work, as the attacker should know both from the database.

You mentioned pregenerated lookup tables in a previous comment. Using email address as salt prevents that attack. Salts come with the database too.

> Anyway: If the user really wants, he can already add his email or name to one of the input fields. A salt is just another input to the hash function so this would be the same.

The proportion of people who would supply it as a salt is much greater than those who would otherwise prepend/append that data to the password.

> Meaning that a 12 character random mixed alphanumeric password would already take longer than the scrypt approach thanks to the way the exponential function works :)

Yes, but then the user has a more difficult password to memorize, so that argument is irrelevant. You should be thing about what actual humans actually do, rather than assume your users are technically sophisticated and willing to put in the effort to do the right thing.

> That's why I don't like to advertise with an "uncrackable hash function". In the end this might lead users to choose a shorter password, which is way worse!

Don't advertise it as such, but do it anyway, and explain the details in an FAQ.

> Keep in mind that if a breach happens, the database is also hashed. And salted! So the attacker would need to crack that first anyway.

It is entirely unreasonable to expect anything better than MD5.
I've never heard "tisane" before, but it seems to mean "herbal tea". In which case, I've seen that distinction before also. ("Tea" having the actual tea plant, and "herbal tea" being any other plant-based brew.)
I think you can make it feasible with a few features.

Not sure which of these kotlin has if any

1. declaring that a type isn’t null with ! appended.

2. Suppression annotations beatable at the file / class / function / line levels to disable the check

3. Facades / Decorators that can be added by anyone that tell the compiler retrofitted additional typing information on existing libraries (the defintely typed / typescript approach)
I understand that. I still think the example isn't well chosen.

Do people no longer distinguish between "bad" and "atrocity"? Like seriously, comparing Trump to ISIS or Hitler is absurd hyperbole.

We can agree he has some fascist tendencies, but it's a big step from there to equating him with one of the worst fascists of all time responsible for spearheading a genocide, or to a group that openly wants to conquer the world and subjugate more than half of humanity. If you can't acknowledge these comparisons are hyperbole, then I can't help you.

Happy Valley
> Thomas Gilovich—a Cornell University psychologist famed for research that indicates people are far more likely to regret things they haven’t done than things they have—examined people with high IQs: not one regretted having children; several reported regretting not having a family. That assumption has been challenged, however, by the “childless by choice” movement and research debunking the myth that babies have a bonding effect on marriage or that children bring happiness: a 2010 American Sociological Association study found that parents were more likely to be depressed than their child-free counterparts, and that people without kids were happier than any other group.

Not one high-IQ person studied reported regretting having children, and yet the objection made here is that another study showed "that people without kids were happier than any other group"? There seems to be some conflation of ideas here. Lack of regret and happiness are by no means the same thing. You can have no regrets about doing something while simultaneously admitting you would probably have been personally "happier" having not done it. I would say most sacrifices are like this. For example, you wouldn't fight for a cause you believe in (say, protesting against a corrupt regime) and put yourself in great personal danger in order to maximize your happiness - that would be a terrible strategy. You're much more likely to have a happier life by keeping your head down, staying quiet and not rocking the boat. You would only fight for a cause because you believe it's greater than yourself, and more important than your personal happiness. The belief the pervades this article - both implicitly and explicitly - is that your happiness is the highest value in life. If you believe this - and I don't - perhaps not having children is the most logical choice. It does seem to be the case from the data that childless people are happier. What can be made of this? Maybe this: having children is not about making you happy.

Sure, but all of this is still entirely possible to do with Bitcoin instead of dollars is my point.
Then we should come up with a system for allowing people to have children at sustainable rates, such as perhaps China's 1 child rule, rather than saying "It's good that those who can't have children can't have children. There are too many already."
Thanks for the actionable feedback! I'm making a note of it. I'll make sure to add a pie chart of each food and recipe showing exactly the percentage of calories from prot, fat, carbs relative to the total.

Sure, for an arbitrary program that is. One that is annotated to specify if a function returns/accepts null is a subset of this that is solveable.
> I find Atheism an excuse to skip these question. I think Agnostic is significantly a better way for Atheists to approach problems.

I know we're getting somewhat off-topic here, but... That's an odd remark? Being an atheist for me is not "an approach", is what I am - I simply don't believe in a god or whatever (anymore). That wasn't a conscious choice (although I was really conscious of it happening), but more of an observation: "huh, I guess I'm an atheist now."
This also opens space for people from different backgrounds (degrees).

In most cases you are not looking for the people with the most level of CS knowledge, but rather someone that can think logically, that learns/ramps fast and have at least some explanation, even if wrong, for his choices and is able to take the observations/review as a learning opportunity.
Which is why I would not describe it as "for industry practitioners (i.e., the real, non-academic world)". There is much greater industry presence than at, say, eurocrypt, but it is clearly not "for industry practitioners".

We are extremely far (in the developing world) from there being too many young people. We're rich as a society, so we should be able to handle more than in the past when we had fewer productivity-enhancing innovations.

I'm just talking about maintaining a stable birth rate.

EDIT: If you have two nations, otherwise identical and self-sufficient and cut off outside contact, and give one too many young folk and the other too many elderly, then 100 years later, the one that starts with too many young folk will be richer than the one with too few. EVEN on a per-person basis due to returns to scale.
As for your point wrt to options in Scala, there were some libraries that used marker values for none (e.g. NaN for double) that then used value classes to basically provide a zero alloc option type. I’ve done my own internal versions for similar purposes. They work well with the caveats of value classes in Scala having their own set of issues.
You don't need to make such an extreme argument. I'm not sure what dollar threshold I would use but I don't think I'd get much of an argument saying that, if it costs $10K to get a hookup somewhere, the average household in that area doesn't really have access to broadband.

In this case the researchers ought to test it too so it could be approved by the FDA together with MDMA because piracetam alone makes HUGE difference. If you are going to take MDMA and can choose only one supplement to use to protect your brain from adverse effects - that is to be piracetam (of course something better may exist but I have never heard of anything better so far). I can't confirm this scientifically but I could bet whoever has tried it (or at least the majority of them) will tell you this is true.

By the way I live in Europe and have been taking piracetam (it is an approved medicine available at every drugstore here, over-the-counter in some countries, on prescription in others) every day (making just occasional pauses for a month or two) during about 15 years already and man it's just so great I don't want to live in a country where I can't get it easily. In my opinion (based on my own long-term systematic experience with it) piracetam is an essential for brain fitness, good quality of life, physical, creative, spiritual, educational and professional self-realization. And I have never had a headache during these years (except slight headakes that I had a couple of times after having drank a way too much alcohol) although I used to have headache almost every day when I was a child and wasn't taking piracetam!

This defense is plausible for fixed frequency broadcast video feeds. Likely as drone usage grows and becomes ever more sophisticated (say nothing of current 'nation state grade' systems), their video feeds will likely be spread spectrum and highly directional (if nothing else, directional transmission makes the drone's video feed far more power efficient), making intercept and this type of analysis difficult.
This is cool but it should be used with caution. The time your thread spends sleeping may be reduced to nothing, but the time it spends working won't be. This could lead to all kinds of scenarios (timeouts, deadlocks, etc) that are only theoretically possible in realtime. It may or may not be useful to encounter these cases.

Edit: also worth mentioning that a good way of doing this kind of testing when you have full control of the code is by abstracting access to time operations to go through an interface and injecting mock/fake time objects.

But you don't always have access to the code, so I think this tool is very useful.
