It's the price we pay for freedom of press and expression. The alternative is screaming "fake news" everytime a journalist makes a mistake. Normal distribution applies in every profession, not all journalists are great
I don't remember where I came across that regex, but it's saved me from so many headaches I quite literally get giddy any time I can insert it into a processing stream.

A developer upstream naively split on /n and leave some errant /r characters everywhere? Fixed.

Embedded backspaces or nulls or tabs or any sort of control character? Gone.

Non-ASCII data in a field you know should be ASCII only? Ha, not today good sir!

Until you've had to deal with the hell that is raw, free form data from who-knows-where, you cannot even fathom how satisfying it is to be able to deploy that regex (when appropriate) and know beyond a doubt that you can't have any more gremlins hiding in that particular field/data that'll hit you later.

Ironically if you actually look at the protocol, miners are rewarded less and less yet have to work harder and harder. The vast majority of the supply sits with less than ~100 of the early miners who put in the least amount of work for the most amount of coins.

I would agree, except there's no customer for FH. Even if there's some small chance the 2nd stage will fail, a test of the three core first stage makes sense.

Any way you want to slice this, there is data travelling, and China has the deep packet inspection and machine learning technology to identify what type of connection it is even if it's encrypted or tunneled.

The average lifespan of an unauthorized VPN connection transiting the Great Firewall is a few minutes or less, depending on how much data you try to push across it. It's really not hard to fingerprint a connection just based on traffic analysis, even if you can't see the actual data travelling across it.

If China wants it shut down, it'll be shut down, full stop.

Fun fact: Mongolia buys electricity from China
What’s sad is considering how panda hit them they may benefit.
Electricity isn't free. In the US it's about $0.12/kWh. If I spend a kWh of electricity mining Bitcoin, I owe the electric company in my town another $0.12. Presumably the electric company uses most of that $0.12 on the fuel and maintenance costs necessary to generate and provide me a kWh, costs which they would not have incurred but for my choice to mine Bitcoin.

Incidentally, this is (as far as I understand) where most of the transaction fees ultimately end up. They're paid out to the miner who actually commits a transaction. Mining's a relatively competitive field so people aren't going to be able to charge much of a premium. The miners then have to turn around and use those fees to cover their costs, which in practice means their hardware costs and their electrical bills.

> ...age is a major factor in health

Tangential, but: I read a fascinating book about ageing and death from a doctor who worked with such things. My big takeway, from a systems perspective, was that we generally don't die because of a single component-level failure but rather as a collective systematic overloads that push failure throughout the body until a component dies (and so do we).

Age makes our lungs, arteries, heart, organs, and the rest of it work sub optimally. Poorer lung function forces our hearts to work harder. Poor heart function causes our lungs to work harder. An unusual shock like shovelling pushes all components, which push each other, which is a great way to trigger failure modes.

This looks a lot like what we see in complex systems over time. Age is biological-debt :)
I agree that it is backwards, but it's heavily ingrained in US politics that decisions revolve around classes. Politicians make decisions thinking about which class they will benefit, which class (and their representatives) they will receive support from, etc.

Empowering the individual is a noble goal, but that is a separate battle with a different front.

Nope, that’s not necessarily true. The test is whether he, or any other actor, gave the order to sell while in possession of material information.

It’s possible to put an advance order in place to sell shares on a plan, which clears the issue because that decision is made in advance.
Okay, that's funny, but something like that isn't impossible. Remember the Glomar Explorer? These black project agencies are past masters of the big con.
It's been a while since I've heard someone mention the Master System, and especially its sound. There's been a lot of work done to interface or use systems like the C64, the NES and the GameBoy for sound production. Adding a second SID to the C64 is somewhat common, there are several MIDI modules and even (contemporary) software for producing sound on the system. GameBoys seem more prone to be used as output devices, although there are some trackers available that run on it natively (better get some backlight if you want to use it in a DJ set).

I've been looking at this recently, as I thought about doing some computer music and the restraints of both the output and (if actually using such systems for the softwarwe) the input would seem like a good way to constrain the learning experience. Didn't encounter lots of references to the Sega side, though. It seems you can still buy that chip for cheap, as opposed to e.g. the SID or Pokey.
Yes, and this resulted in a fairly unpleasant fiasco a few months ago in which the governor of Texas had to call an emergency session in order to renew the Texas Medical Board's existence because a senator had held it hostage in order to try and force through a bill banning trans women from using women's restrooms.

(A lot of the national press incorrectly portrayed this as the Texas governor calling an emergency session to ban trans women from women's restrooms. While that was debated as part of the emergency session, it wasn't the goal and the governor made allowing it or anything else to be debated conditional on passing the critical Texas Medical Board renewal - forcing the supporters of the bathroom bill to pass that first and give up their leverage in order to get a bathroom bill vote they would inevitably lose. The national media reporting on this was terrible.)

Jio is really really cheap... Last year when I was in India they had an amazing launch offer where you got 3 months 4G free, with 4Gb / day (yes per day!) bandwidth. It worked really well, and roamed easily between states.

I'm going to guess that:

* The phone is free / really cheap, advertising subsidised. Or subsidised to cross sell other Jio services (they have a bunch).

* It doesn't have WhatsApp either because it's pushing Jio services or because it is ultra low end.

* The users have another phone with an expensive data plan. They leave it at home on wifi running WhatsApp.

Not sure though...

Just a personal anecdote here: I live with my brother and most days, from the time he comes home from work to the time he goes to bed is mostly spent glued to his phone. Hard or impossible to talk to him while he's on it. He's mostly on Instagram and silly games - sometimes Bumble or whatever. Nice guy but gets flustered and/or puts me on hold (indefinitely) when I try to talk to him. He's a couple years older than me - in his late 20's.

I've tried talking to him about it, saying I can hardly talk to him (if ever) and he completely defends his position, saying he uses phone to keep in touch with friends, notifications admitedly feel good, etc.

Any suggestions?

These two approaches are built for different threat models. Both protect you from tampering, but only TLS protects you from collecting metadata like what exact page you visited. Attackers can only observe which domain you visited.

It interests me that the author treats his Indian users more like some sort of "human botnet" than like real people. I feel like it fits nicely with YC's favourite interview question, "When have you most successfully hacked a non-computer system to your advantage?", which in my mind neatly translates to "what's the most psychopathic thing you've ever done?". If that question is the success predictor YC says it is, Browserling probably has a great future.

> "I tend not to have cravings until after I’ve had my first real meal

Very much the case for me too, to the point that I can "forget" to eat all day so long as I really don't actually eat even a bit.

More importantly, though, I've found I can duplicate this effect to a great extent by strictly eliminating carbs from my first meal, and then a eating a proper square old-fashioned "dinner" in the afternoon. This has other benefits for me as well, the most noticeable being that I don't suffer grinding foggy sleepiness at midmorning or late afternoon. It also lets me be satisfied with a light supper later on, which is critical for my sleep. Big meals before bed leave me tossing and turning until early morning.

A sugary breakfast, on the other hand, will fuck up my whole day.

So I assume you are in support of Net Neutrality? Wouldn’t the correct thing to do in that case be to support politicians that are in favor of it, and oppose politicians that are against it? Obama could have done better, but I am satisfied that he did more than any other president, before or since, to establish Net Neutrality.

I don't think it's productive to assign blame in situations where a politician helped, but didn't help enough by some arbitrary standard, especially in an adversarial political system like ours where the alternative is politicians that actively are trying to cause harm.
January being the worst, and October being the best months for productivity matches my own perception. Not so sure about summer though.. when it’s really hot, motivation tends to go down along with blood pressure :)

I wonder if this shouldn't question whether we should still allow all websites to run javascript by default.

There are websites that genuinely need to run some code, like webmails, online trading platforms, online games, etc. But 99% of the websites have no good reason to do so. Javascript is used to make up for the shortcomings of html/css (different rendering for different screen sizes, lack of local validation of forms, etc), for the mere convenience of developers and for user hostile activities (tracking, messing with default behavior of the mouse, keyboard, clipboard, scrolling, etc).

This might be an opportunity for revisiting html and making it better. An ecommerce, a newspaper or a blog should have no reason to execute client side code to render. Once we have a good enough markup alternative, executing javascript can become an optional feature requiring user authorisation like accessing your camera or location.

[edit] also at the very least it should lead us to question the chain of trust of javascript. When I visit abc.com I should only execute javascript from abc.com or a subdomain. No script either hosted on a non abc.com domain or appearing in an iframe should be executed.

Matches anything that's not between the space and tilde in the ASCII code range[1], which is the entire range of printable ASCII characters. It's similar to [a-Z] you see a lot, but expanded to include the space character, numbers, and punctuation. The regex [ -~] lets you match those characters, whereas [^ -~] negates that and matches anything that's not a printable ASCII character (useful for regex replace functions).

If you look at the table at the top of [1], you'll notice all of the characters at the beginning of the ASCII range which are non-printing and therefore invisible. Plus, at the end for some insane reason, the DELETE character. If there's no valid reason for any of these characters to exist in your dataset, nor for higher code point (UTF) characters to exist, then [^ -~] will match them and let you strip them out all in one go.

The argument that his sales might’ve violated insider trading rules is puerile, populist, and patently absurd. The whole point of having pre-arranged stock sale plans is precisely this: so that execution of them does not leak any information whatsoever into the market. Think about it: if he had a pre-arranged plan and didn’t sell because he feared running afoul of insider trading rules ahead of a drop, it would have alerted other investors to the fact that something that spooked him was going on, and they would have preempted the unknown risk and rushed for the exit, crashing the stock.

In short, his is precisely why CEOs insist on these pre-arranged plans to make their stock grants and stock options valuable without causing them to incur the damoclean sword of being ’allowed’ to monetise only when they have absolute certainty that none of the no doubt innumerable problems they are aware of and paid to manage will leave negative impacts on stock valuations (meaning: never, making their stock worthless).

There’s nothing to see here.
