China is always “working on” whatever the US is. Issue comes down to timing.
There are no reasons to get excited by KDE in 2018 because there isn't a single stable distro that supports it running (maybe opensuse, I did not try that). Mint KDE was amazing, but out of the dozen or so others I've tried, none has been stable and some haven't even installed. Hardware is an 2013 old retina laptop so all the drivers exist and are mature. Big distros like Kubuntu and KDE Plasma were the worst here, almost unusable after install. Fedora simply didn't install. As a long time KDE user, I've decided it's finally time to throw in the towel and switch. Clearly, no one cares enough to actually make a stable system out of this amazing desktop environment.
I've been thinking of starting a Medium account lately. All I have to do is wait for something bad to happen in crypto and give a first grade interpretation of events and compare them to some money movie I saw recently. I don't need to understand anything about crypto, and I can feel superior to all my friends who aren't working because they made money.
This is amazing. I'm a classical guitarist and pianist (not any good, but it's very clearly the way I'm oriented). Jazz just seems to escape me, although I work much harder at it.
As I noted above, "advantage" was the wrong word, my apologies. There's tons of information out there about the disproportionate number of men working in tech, to say nothing of the salary discrepancies that cause so much drama here.

At the end of the day, women say they feel that they feel isolated by an industry that is overwhelmingly male, and that being able to connect with other women and discuss their experiences is a valuable way to stay in a career that they might otherwise bail on. I'm inclined to believe them.
Every bubble has money coming from somewhere. The mortgage bubble had all the BBB- derivatives that were ridiculously underpriced turning trash into treasure.

Bitcoin is all about money trying to get out of China. There is a bit of people in countries with trashy currencies trying to save, some illegal commerce and some greater fool speculation on top of that, but that's not a lot of money comparitively. As China squeezes the vice, it's going to slowly suck most of the air out of the market.
I think he's reasonable enough although he doesn't write a lot. The world has changed to the degree that it's probably hard to point to a generalist weekly writer who is the equivalent of the columnists at the old weekly computer magazines. Today, you tend to get writers who are more specialized in AWS, IoT, virtualization, cloud, or whatever. And most of them are consultants, vendors, etc. rather than full-time journalists.
YES once again we learn the hard way that this is the only "engineering" field in which its practitioners are not licensed, certified, belong to a professional organization with safe harbor protections, and so on.
The use of the word "Accident" is also the result of the automotive industry. "Crash" would be preferable:

70MillionJobs CEO/Founder Doing an AMA tonight
Please join me tonight at 6pm PT for my AMA. I'll be talking about my wild days as partner at the infamous "Wolf of Wall Street" firm, Stratton Oakmont, launching my own 500-person, $100 million brokerage firm that landed me in federal prison, launching 70MillionJobs (the first for-profit recruitment platform for people with records), and what it's like to be an old (63), non-technical sole founder accepted at Y Combinator.

I don't think that asking people to link to content that's clearly superior is "SEO".

Asking a 3rd party site to change a link seems easier than asking a different 3rd party site to rewrite content.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Big_Short - It's based on a non-fiction book which is based on a true story.
Autonomous cars have a lot of data gathering sensors - even if the car doesn't know something is going on, logs of what happened will greatly aid the police in their efforts to track down the criminal.

If carjacking becomes a problem the cars will figure it out and start locking all the doors. Or if the car is unoccupied, let the carjaker in, then notify the nearest police station it is coming in with a criminal.
Canadian man charged over leak of billions hacked accounts through LeakedSource
Correct my understanding here where I am wrong - In my mind, if a leaf of a tree or any vegetation photosynthesizes, it is pulling in air (dirty air by your account which is why those leaves are brown) By the very virtue of that fact, it would be pulling in those small particles as well. The paper I referenced states that this happens to an extent, which is why trees during the leafy season are more effective at reducing PM2.5 than when they are bare.
I would say, store the hash of the token in the database, but that's my personal preference to add a bit of defense against timing attacks, insider stealing the token, or token database breach.

This once again reads as an illustration of the problem. This isn't an issue of double standards. You do understand the difference in experiences, right, between members of a group comprised and in support of a minority/systematically-unrepresented group, and a counterpart group comprised of a majority/the ones often perpetuating (even if indirectly) this imbalance?

I get it that Thunderbird looks unhip but I feel like the heavily padded lines waste too much space. The gmail "compact" setting is a much better compromise between space and legibility.

But unless they move Thunderbird to WebExtensions (which would be a total productivity disaster) it can always be modded.

Although an UI update is always welcome there are more important issues to address in Thunderbird, like better calendar synchronisation and an overhaul to its search capabilities.
I really wish your experience was unique.

A colleague was groped. She didn't report it. It would have likely diminished her future prospects. A friend was asked out on dates, unsolicited, multiple times by coworkers. She just had to laugh it off. Women at a previous employment reported not being taken as seriously as men in meetings, and being passed over for promotions in favour of less qualified men. A friend reported sexualized posters of women up in the office. In the chat of my company, a sexualized video of women was passed around.

I'm trans, so my challenges are a bit different. I try to hide the fact that I'm trans during interviews. A lot of people are uncomfortable with trans people (26% of Canadian men are uncomfortable moving next to one), and with interviews to see if I'm socially a good fit, that can end it. I actually changed my name to an androgynous one as to not out myself. I get misgendered at work by people who do it on purpose. I also get touched inappropriately by a coworker.

In all cases, what can you do to challenge these things without being seen as "the crazy one", "too sensitive", "party pooper", or whatever? Without hurting my finances?
It's shit.
I seek to understand the objective standard that allows one type of discrimination while condemning another, perhaps you can provide clarity there?

I don't understand the down votes here, I am merely asking for an explanation of the logic used. I'm autistic so I sometimes have trouble understanding things that are obvious to people who are not.

Does not negate my point - baring some evidence, its not reasonable to assume that zoning is not the cause of a lack of affordable housing in the San Joaquin Valley.

Do you allow intersex people to join Leap?
Right, I'm saying the exchange isn't actually solvent. The "cash balance" on the fraudulent buyer account wasn't backed by any actual cash deposit or proceeds from BTC sale, it's just a column in a database table.

Theoretically, the exchange buys up a bunch of BTC with non-existent cash, raising the price tenfold, until their real cash deposits are too low to meet withdrawal requirements, then they do as the grandparent post says and disable withdrawals, deposits, or freeze the market until they can get it under control.
Yeah, the opposite conclusion would have been much more surprising.
Yes, because there were already safer systems programming languages being used by the time C got invented.

It was a lot worse than that. Most of the financial drop did not occur in the junk dotcom stocks, that's a myth.

Cisco went from ~$550 billion to ~$50 billion.

That was a real business with billions in profit. That single drop is nearly greater than the value loss in all the junk dotcom stocks combined. There were dozens of real businesses that were massively over-inflated, from Intel to Microsoft.

Oracle went from ~$200 billion to ~$35 billion. Again, another very serious business with substantial profits.

So how about Bitcoin goes to $3,000 to $6,000 and stays there for ten years? Impossible! everyone will cry.
And then the hashing algorithm self-corrects in difficulty downwards, and an individual could mine on their own PC again, like it did in the beginning when almost no one was using it, let alone dedicated mining equipment.

Sure, but don't we have drones for that now?

The high altitude spy planes (U2, SR-71) were mostly to prevent being shot down; surviving to return the film to base.

Drones don't need to bring film back, and it's not such a big deal if a few of them are lost.
I have seen comparisons to the .com boom/bubble, and I don't buy it.

There was a lot of economic movement while the entire economy moved over to the internet. Those who didn't adapt failed. Those who tried models which didn't translate also failed. Lots of experimentation, and lots of reinventing things from scratch. So lots of failure and lots of speculation-- but ultimately around a real sea change.

I don't see how blockchain tech could have a technological / cultural impact on that scale. It has some value, and it will find its place in mainstream society, but I don't see how/why the market needs to test everything against it to reinvent itself as was done when the internet came to the fore. I could see that for sure with AI, but blockchain? Seems pretty specific and limited.

Much more hype and much less substance than the .com revolution, IMO.
Ok can you talk more about your failure case then? What are the conditions like what exactly is the end result. There are 0 exchanges?
That's sort of what I'm asking people for, except presented as a choice.

I'll update the article to try to make it clear that "link to clearly superior content" is a viable alternative to rewriting said content, as long as the same goal is achieved.
Or to classical organists, one of the few classical specialties that has preserved improvisation as a major part of their skillset. (In the times that classical music was composed, musicians were encouraged/expected to be able to improvise. E.g baroque & classical period concertos where the cadenza was essentially an empty space in the sheet music that meant "improvise here". Some of Handel's organ concertos have no second movement written down because he would just improvise.)

Ive some positions in different cryptos. I bought them with the same mindset that I use when I go to a casino. What do I not mind losing? Its just one more investment vehicle that I plan on riding out for the mid to long term. I may win, I may lose but its not the only horse Im betting on.
Very good point. It also underscores the rise of television, which imo contributed to the fracturing of society that has been most fully realized now via social media.
Agreed, "real" alternative voices were more noticeable back then. On the newsstand, in the library, in a magazine everyone read, at a campus talk or on TV. Noam Chomsky used to appear on PBS when was young - now you have to go to RT (literally!) or other foreign media like AJ/BBC/DW to see anyone outside the dualistic status-quo.
I don’t know where you get this idea because genotyping is (a form of) genetic testing. And as for accuracy, human reference genome databases are highly accurate. Sure, they’re not error-free — but then nothing is. Ancestry in particular is a tricky problem due to the highly variable representation of different ancestries in the reference set.

By contrast, 23andme delivers high accuracy for genetic variants. Meaning, for those variants in their reference set they can tell with very high accuracy whether a given sample has a given allele. Interpretability of this information unfortunately varies greatly because genetics is hard, and a lot of the connections between genotypes and disease predisposition are complex and still being fully discovered. It’s for this specific reason that the FDA told 23andme off for providing disease predispositions; not because the genetic test itself is inaccurate (it isn’t).

For simple (Mendelian) disease predispositions, 23andme is essentially as accurate as any other for of genetic testing (which would at any rate also use genotyping).
We women in tech frequently need to re-hash this discussion. We offer personal anecdotes, and they are written off as outliers. We present diversity numbers and pay gap data, and we are told that those are due to women either choosing family life over career or that we are biologically predisposed to not being as good as men at tech. We present data and stories about rampant, institutionalized sexism at large industry leaders, and we are scolded for being "overly sensitive". Assertiveness is conflated as bitchiness. Timidness as incompetence. The advantage is apparent - the real goal of constantly asking us to prove the advantage is to create doubt and the appearance of a controversy over the data. But I see these as thinly veiled gaslighting attempts. I have worked in tech all my life, and have had many men take credit for my initiatives and ideas, talk over me constantly through most meetings, pass me up for promotions because I didn't "engage with the team" (ie. attending late night drinking sessions at strip clubs), always get second guessed - even when I am the resident SME and was hired specifically for task, etc. I have lived it. If more men would make themselves aware of the systemic sexism in the industry instead of making women repeat themselves, argue every data point, and be 3x as good as their peers to receive recognition, maybe we could stop having this discussion . . .

Unity's new teaser – Book of the Dead
Although this may very well be the mentality of many rank and file network engineers that you may come across, that wouldn't at all be an accurate representation of those in charge of the architecture and design of larger networks. However, even the more open minded engineers tend to be pragmatic, and there have already been numerous proposals or initiatives which are reached near consensus level of acceptance as good ideas such as BCP38, IRR generated prefix lists, etc., but still have abysmal adoption rates. Solutions already exist for most problems, with the ability to implement them on a case by case basis, which would be a much lesser barrier than upending BGP altogether. Throwing BGP out in lieu of a new protocol altogether has an order of magnitude even lower probability of seeing widespread adoption.

What's lacking in many existing cases is simply (business) will. There are many businesses who will not allocate resources to make the Internet a better place if it doesn't improve their bottom line, and there are many more businesses who lack the resources to even be able to consider adopting anything beyond the bare minimum.

At the heart of it, most carrier networks lose money most quarters, and smaller ISPs barely scrape by. It's only a handful of very large, oligopoly eyeball networks like Comcast that are quite profitable.
> That such an elementary claim about a volatile asset is controversial almost says more than the article.

That it's such an elementary claim is the reason for the pushback. What's the point in saying something obvious?
Yes, thousands of ways to make it better. But I've worked with many developers who feel lost on how to make something look good. Without any design training, just use headings and spacing and it improves the look and feel by multiples and is something they can easily do without wondering if it looks good or not.

Turn it around: Why would a propulsion system like this be put on a missile?

Missiles are generally powered by rocket motors - they don't need air intake.

Missiles are also generally one-time-use - you send it somewhere and don't expect to reuse it (also it usually explodes)

I suppose it might be possible to increase payload per fuel efficiency, but the only reason the military would probably care about that is cost, and the rocket engineering is already paid for and proven.
Sorry but I have a hard time considering your comment a meaningful contribution to the thread, since it is extremely common for people to #metoo with 20-20 hindsight about other people. The more lurid the details the stronger their conviction.

A string contains characters. NUL is not a character; it's nothing.

"Fundamental" in this case means "matches reality". Having a number at the beginning doesn't match reality as closely as having the string of characters in sequential memory addresses with something to terminate them.

The quick fox made the jump\N

or

27The quick fox made the jump

The second one requires more work to store (a character-counting routine), and needs even more work to handle variable length strings that may exceed 255-ish bytes/characters.

I'm not discounting the benefits of prefixing the length, just saying it's not more fundamental than null-terminating an arbitrary sequence of characters.

You're right. Bitcoin was a significant and interesting technological step even if it ultimately fails in other ways. As long as we have a civilisation there will always be someone prepared to run a miner and own some for historical interest.

Maybe 0 isn't right for bitcoin but it is possible for it to go incredibly low and there are altcoins for which there isn't even any historical interest....

The classic one. Nobody wants to pay more than a token amount for Bitcoin. Maybe central banks jacked up rates or we went into a recession or something newer and shinier came about.

Value crashes, miners find it more valuable to sell their equipment than keep mining or confirming transactions, the entire ecosystem compresses to where it was when it was more about tinkering. Maybe it remains somewhat relevant, as a curiosity. Our generation's Esperanto.

I disagree that white nationalists have a similar view, though it's interesting that someone linked to a forum where women can feel safe from attack in discussions and we're currently debating their similarities to neo-Nazis.

The white nationalist stance (in general) is that racial hegemony, with their group at the top of the heap, is the preferential state of affairs. The stance of this group, as far as I can tell, is that gender equality is the preferential state. Those seem like very different things.
