I don't know about that. "Being smart" isn't a big enough hammer, sometimes.

I'm "smart". I taught myself how to program, and now I'm an architect-level developer that's respected by everyone I've ever worked with. But I'm also a college dropout. I had a terrible education ("Christian" "school" with no qualified teachers) and my parents were no scholars themselves; and I gave up on college because I couldn't get a CS degree without making it through Calc 1, which I didn't even get to until my second year of college because my whole first year (and the summer prior!) was spent in remedial math.

I worked every night in the math lab with the smartest tutor I've ever met. I stayed up until 2a every night trying to get my Calc 1 homework done. But it wasn't enough. I didn't have a strong enough foundation to pull it off. It was too little, too late.

Years later, I think I'd do much better, as learning how to develop enterprise-grade data warehousing and ETL solutions has taught me /how/ to learn. But at the time, I had no good "tools" to use - I just knew how to memorize, memorize, memorize. And it just wasn't enough.

If my stupid, fucking, batshit insane religious-maniac parents had just let me go to a public high school - like I begged them to - all of this could have, and would have, been avoided.
Burger King had been my favorite fast food--that is, until they did their inversion with the Canadian company Tim Hortons.

After that, I have not and will never spend a nickel in Burger King.

Inversion = Boycott.
One IMPORTANT thing that's missing in all of this is a little note from Tether/Bitfinex's legal team:

"Tethers are not money and are not monetary instruments.
There is no contractual right or other right or legal claim against us to redeem or exchange your tethers for money. We do not guarantee any right of redemption or exchange of tethers by us for money."

Good luck to all in this game.
Charleston is a very small software market. When I was there a few years ago, it was mostly government consulting firms. There's a military presence there, too. I suspect that is what is driving those postings.

I've been shivering in the water at 27 degrees Celcius in Australia (diving, no wetsuit, sitting on the bottom). Admittedly I have a very slender build, but clearly 27 degrees is below my equilibrium temperature when not in activity.

Because the points system replaces online the offline signals you, and we all, use for just that non-thinking - signals like facial disgust, like if a restaurant is full or empty, like other people in a room taking notice of one person.

we need social signals to determine how the society we are in is functioning. points, likes, follows are very poor proxies - but we need something. if those proxies are making billions for some people that's not the fault of our need for social alignment.
I'm super skinny and sink straight to the bottom of a pool. Same issues :(
I've always had this impression that AWS puts downward pricing pressure on itself, and periodically reduces its pricing, and that Heroku just swallows up the difference never passing it on to their customers. Would you say that is accurate?
You're right of course. My "mild" language was perhaps too mild.
Spot on. There's nothing quite like going to a very different place you've never been, though. I'm not sure how else to get that feeling without actually doing it.
The "ceo" typo in the "apple-ceo-jeff-williams" fragment from your URL initially threw me off. For a moment I thought there had been a change of guard at the CEO level.
Have you experienced any pain-points with Aurora that perhaps you would have avoided by using RDS? We've been thinking of switching over, but some teams reported seeing different performance behavior from their existing queries that in some cases made them roll back.
When I use a word,” Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, “it means just what I choose it to mean—neither more nor less.” “The question is,” said Alice, “whether you can make words mean so many different things.” “The question is,” said Humpty Dumpty, “which is to be master—that's all.”

What this guy's analysis fails to account for is that power matters, smart people coming up with solutions for "mistakes" (whether "hard" or "easy") is necessary, but not sufficient. The question is, and has only ever been, which is to be master -- who has the power?

Pardon my ignorance here, but are they (Tether) not doing what the established banks are doing with Gold, as in paper money being backed with something of value, normally precious metals? Not saying it's right, just trying to work out if it's a similar sort of situation.
FYI : We just added the ability to customize titles and remove sections (if you delete all data in a section). This was the most requested feature.

Ok, so only their us based subsidiary has a say, if that. That'd be like Huawei suddenly decided to have an opinion on the subject because they have a US branch...
According to https://jakearchibald.com/2016/performance-benefits-of-rel-n... edge doesn't set window.opener for blank links so I'd assume it's not being used that much. I mean, it's Microsoft, they usually go out of their way to be backwards compatible.

Internet Explorer tried to maintain multiple rendering engines. Every version from IE5 to IE11 (if you open the debug console you can switch rendering modes)

It never took off.

I suspect the cost of breaking web compatibility intentionally to accomplish this goal would kill a browser, as authentication, payment, and many other things would suddenly break.
Anyways, the core point was they moved out to avoid paying taxes, and that's exactly what they did. The $2 left isn't worth talking about

Conversely, the people who want to believe false things (and under the right circumstances that's most of us) will be easier to convince. What is truth anyway?
No, the estimated RDA based on EPIC series of studies is 3000 IU daily and it's suspected to be on the lower side due to old people being bit overrepresented. This based on all cause mortality, various European subjects. Intake estimated by direct multiple blood levels.

Vitamin D intake vs mortality followed a very shallow U curve (almost J) and minimum was between 2000 and 4000 IU.
Or maybe the "signals" are thoughtful responses to comments...
Just warn them that at some point in time the feature will cease to work. I see these warnings in the console all the time for broken SSL CAs and deprecated DOM APIs.

When a small sample size produces a big effect, it does not mean you can be more confident in the effect!

All things equal, you'd expect confidence intervals / credible regions to be very large.

Another way to say this, is that since the measurement error is large, you expect spurious findings that result from something like p-hacking to be large (they have to be to be significant).
I am using this definition of causality[0], which is precise, and you use it in a much more general sense.

> I didn't know that smoking caused less obesity. I would have thought it was because of monetary reasons.

It does not cause less obesity. It is correlated with less obesity, possibly through suppressed appetite -- but it's also possible that it's actually a reflection of economic background which is also correlated with obesity.

It apparently does cause more alertness (in the same way that coffee does -- enough of it will make you awake and alert, too much will kill you).

Paper money was once backed by gold, but today it's backed by "nothing." In reality that nothing is some combination of the GDP and the military might of the nation states that issue it.
The 'finally' makes me sad. As if the Air was a bad machine. I still use my 2010 (!!) MacBook Air 11" as a travel laptop and it is still a fantastic little machine. I did put a new battery in it, but it still works fine for basic usage.
Node.js management of ecosystem vulnerabilities
I'd recommend having a look at emulators for other chips in general and just tailoring them to ARM Cortex-M. The architecture reference manuals (ARM ARMs, har har) are freely available on ARM's website[0]. I'd recommend the ARMv6-M for Cortex-M0/+ or ARMv7-M for Cortex-M3/4/7. I think the latter manual covers both ARMv7-M (M3) as well as ARMv7E-M (M4 and M7).

You were trying to explain the difference between dry and wet suits to people who obviously already knew the difference, because they brought it up themselves. Now you're pointing out that the article specifically mentions wetsuits to people who obviously already knew that and chose to discount it. So yeah, if you make context-oblivious comments, you're going to get downvoted.

Another mode of travel doesn't seem to be accounted for: Travel for pleasure.

Not to score social points. Not for meaning. Just to relax and feel good for a week.

Weather can be a big factor. In the middle of five months of winter, daily snow, not seeing the sun in weeks, and working hard in an office every day, a week relaxing in the sun somewhere warm can be very beneficial - and not just in a trite or self-indulgent way. Seasonal mood disorders and work-related stress are real problems and time far away is a real solution.

Plus, if we're here to enjoy life, then self-indulgence is also one ingredient of a good life (accompanied by others). You don't have to be seeking "meaning" every moment of every day like a Terminator seeking his target.
Looking forward to the tutorial on training our own models!

I think the author may just be unfamiliar with the different social media sites and assumes that everyone uses them as he does.

I don’t use Facebook much, but I’ve never made a public post and my friends aren’t visible. But you wouldn’t know this without asking me. My goal is to never be the subject of an article, but if I was, it would be lazy on the part of the author to assume that I don’t use Facebook because I have no posts visible to the author.
Seems like the simple solution would be for those apps to include something like “rel=yesopener” on the link to the payment provider, as a way to explicitly opt into the functionality.

Browsers deprecate security related features all the time. See SSL, HSTS [EDIT: HPKP*], etc.

At the very least, browsers could remain backward compatible but mark the URI as “Insecure” in the address bar if the link could result in tab hijacking. Although on second thought, that would be challenging because it would require parsing the source of all links.

Really? I lost interest between a gratuitous comma and needless metaphor.
What about profiting off a cute drawing of a mouse, specifically Mickey? That's almost 100 years old, so it's not really a case of "having made it to".

Feeling despondent about the hollowness of popular culture is exactly one minute younger than popular culture itself.

What I'm feeling despondent about is the readiness with which so many people read an agenda of decay into every little thing, when there are so many things to be optimistic about. But that's probably also been going on forever.
No. I think Vagabonding by Rolf Potts is a good book for people who think this, unless your idea of travel is only to go to Paris and stay in a 5-star resort the whole time.

https://vagabonding.net/book/excerpt/

> For some reason, we see long-term travel to faraway lands as a recurring dream or an exotic temptation, but not something that applies to the here and now. Instead — out of our insane duty to fear, fashion, and monthly payments on things we don’t really need — we quarantine our travels to short, frenzied bursts. In this way, as we throw our wealth at an abstract notion called “lifestyle,” travel becomes just another accessory — a smooth-edged, encapsulated experience that we purchase the same way we buy clothing and furniture.

That's just my favorite part of the excerpt, not supporting evidence for my first sentence though. :)

Huh. When reading the headline, I thought "Grumpy Cat" was the name of a company, because, you know, cats do not win many law suits. That was actually what made me read the article, because I thought that "Grumpy Cat" was an odd name for a company.

It seem a little childish to think that the face of a cat is subject to copyright.
EURUSD: Caps Gain, Threatens Pullback
Depends on your definition of wealthy, and your location. In the UK and Europe there are a number of low cost airlines, and you can easily get flights to other European countries for under £100. Obviously it's a luxury and probably not something you could afford if you're on minimum wage and struggling to pay the rent, but easily affordable with an average income and a bit of planning.

Of course, things are different in the USA where travelling to any other country (aside from Canada or Mexico if you live near the borders) is going to cost hundreds of dollars for a flight. And I guess even leaving your state even has considerable costs in car fuel or coach/train journeys.
In principle I agree, but our image of what dinosaurs look like are probably closer to the truth than what we would have gotten had they just jumped to adding soft tissue.

That would be awesome. IME people care about security in principle, but no one really knows how to write secure software.
Stop believing in quantum computing please. It's all based on superposition which doesn't work in reality. It's a theoretical concept. In theory something can be a or b in superposition with another a or b. But in reality one will be a and the other b no matter whether you observe it or not.

I'd like to see an explanation for the double slit experiment. Maybe then we can move on to more complex things. It's also possible that the double slit experiment isn't even based on observation, but rather a logical mistake in our end. Who knows...
Here's my wild guess as to 'why social media bosses dont use social media': they're too busy running biggest companies in tech industry to have time to spend on twitter/facebook.

I think this particular quote is _considerably_ more over-the-top than Tolkien, certainly.

Though I do like "crushing the frantic penguins".
No, statistical power as a concept is independent of the observed result of a test.

It is widely misunderstood though, so often people try to use an observed result to justify low power.

Those are generally edge-cases, though. That evolve in situations where there is little competition, and room for a little evolutionary inefficiency.

There is a way. You have to meticulously prove operations down to machine code to not have externally observable side effects.

You can weaken the condition by excluding, say, timing effects or cacheline effects. (Say hello to Spectre)

This means you get to prove bounded access and data race freedom on any piece of memory safe code touches. Likewise prove bounded access for all unsafe code and correct cpu flag and state handling.

It it's not as bad as it seems - you can use the machine code prover designed for seL4 as a good starting point.

"The wealthy-and-mobile 20 percent are causing most of the environmental damage in the world."

I watched "There Will Be Blood" again recently, and it is such a powerful film to me because it is all about the onset of this relatively "free" energy era. It used to take more effort to go from A to B, so we carefully calculated our reasons to go.

Because once you learn enough of the stuff you start to realize its all bullshit. Compliance (hipaa hitech, pci, sox) and most industry standard practices (antivirus, firewalling) are lipstick on a pig.
Very often you have to chose between being secure or standard compliant (for example running antivirus can be a big security hole, or give false sense of security).

It's a philosophical/ethical/legal question what should be allowed to go into insurance rates, so relevance is determined by the framework in which you evaluate things.

I am personally ok with higher car insurance premiums for people with a prior DUI conviction, and higher health insurance premiums for smokers; I'm not ok with higher health insurance premiums for albinos, or people with a family history of cardiac problems or family history of type I diabetes -- even though they are mathematically justified (which means that -- not being in either group -- my own premiums are higher as a result).
