As someone who grew up bilingual, I don’t get this either. (Technically, since I grew up in Ireland, we also learned Irish in school, so three language, except we never spoke Irish outside of school) We never got confused!

Having said that, you do need to use all languages enough to get proficient at each of them.
Isn't it possible that less regulation can help propel research, for "good" goals? I think that in 2018, novel medical applications would be far more profitable than a biological weapons, and in the end of the day, that's what matters to companies.

For example, I'm not sure that in USA it would be possible for a terminally ill patient can opt-in to a dangerous/risky/experimental new form of treatment, while it could save thousands of others if successful.
Why do you think the comparison with the internet is fair? Why not compare it with the initial flurry of investment into dotcom no-hopers like pets.com and webvan.com ?

> Their solution appears to be to query the client command line, get the 32-bit FNV-1a string hash of the exename and then check if it's in a blacklist. I proposed they whitelist Hostnames, but apparently that solution was too elegant and simple.

It looks like they just block specific browsers from doing the exploit, except they have to actively maintain the blacklist, which is sub-optimal.
The standard workweek in Denmark has been 37 for quite a few years are and has not really shown any issues. In most physically demanding jobs thought theres a 1:1 or higher "afspadsering", which means you save up 1 or more hours paid free time for ever hour of overwork, kinda like what you describing, but never for deskjobs.

I agree that art is communication, but not all communication is art. To me, good art is a message that relies solely on argument from beauty to prove its point. So any art that looks ugly to someone is self-defeating in their eyes, because it throws away its only weapon.

The artists that speak to me most (like Pushkin, Orwell, Hunter Thompson, Andrew Hussie, davesecretary...) are keen observers of their time and have strong opinions, but they play fair in a sense. They make their points of view aesthetically compelling and stop there. What they can't say with beauty, they don't say at all. Anything more forceful is closer to a Fox News editorial than to art.

Airbnb and Uber going into hotels and public transportation respectively are examples of successful companies diversifying their income. The point is that their core innovation has provided the capital and human resources to tackle higher level challenges. It had to be a substantial improvement on the original problem to get that kind of traction in the first place.

The hotel experience needed improvement. So did the taxi experience. Incumbents were preventing competition through monopoly and regulatory capture. They won, and in doing so they lost their edge.

Some of the regulations Airbnb and Uber skirted have good reasons. Others had good reasons, but new ideas and technologies made these reasons less important. And some were just bad and anti-competitive. The same is true in financial services.

'You shouldn't do that because it is illegal' argument is actually not an argument, it's an appeal to authority. Opening the Overton window to consider why we have the regulations we do, how we got there, and what makes sense moving forward is key to progress. And it often takes unreasonable people (eg: Kalanick) to make that happen.
> sharing photos with your aunt is not like heroin

That's missing the point entirely. You can say heroin is a "well designed products" because it's users enjoy its immediate effects and keep coming back for more. That characterization is misleading because it leaves out all the downsides, including addiction. Similarly...

>> Isn't that a fancy way of saying they are making their product do things that people enjoy, so that people will use the product?

...is a misleading characterization for exactly the same reason.

While I basically agree, parents who fear to confuse their kids do have a point: I have heard preschoolers use portmanteaus like "bivor" for "please" (german "bitte" + spanish "por favor") and having a jard time being understood outside of their immediate circle. OTOH, this is only anecdotal evidence and I guess it is safe to assume that kids will grow out of this quickly once exposed to a single "main" language in daycare or school.

I wasn't really thinking about GBS, but that is one of the more severe possible (but rare) side effects. Most people (everyone?) feels under the weather for a few days after a flu shot.
Your initial assertion:

I attribute it not to country_of_origin, but to the [autism] spectrum.

And you now say:

As a general note we shouldn't diagnose other people, but that wasn't the intent of my original post at all. I merely noted its a trait people with autism commonly have.

Those two things don't add up. Maybe think about that.

There is a lot of other failed communication happening here that I don't really think is worth trying to talk more about.
Here where I live (Australia) it is near impossible to find good professional tradesmen. While it might be irrational on a financial level to spend my time painting or other trades, I get the quality I want by doing it myself.

Even on the financial level tradesmen here in Australia are so overpaid (compared to everyone else) that it makes sense even for me to do it myself. My house was painted by "professionals" just before we moved in (purple??) and it cost the previous owner $20,000. My wife and I repainted it white (this required 5 coats of paint) and it took us two weeks including the time I had to spend getting the purple paint off the windows and floors and patching all the holes that had been painted over.

Tip. If you are selling your home don't paint it some unusual color. I managed to buy my home $200K under its actual market value and quite a bit of this was due to the crazy way the place has been painted.

Can you explain why this is a Chrome-specific issue? I believe that it applies to all web browsers, including Internet Explorer for UNIX (which I do have access to and I can test if you would like me to confirm). I remember this being a vulnerability class with CUPS, which listens on http://localhost:631/, about 10 years ago.

In particular, note that the request is not made to localhost, it's made to a DNS name that simply happens to resolve to 127.0.0.1. Should Chrome and also all other web browsers add a special case for DNS names that resolve to 127.0.0.1?

There are naming conventions in PowerShell, but you don't need to know about them when you start out. For example, it's common practice to use camel case for variable names, such as $myVariableName.

> "But idiomatic PowerShell seems to be (at least in some circles) piping one function to the next in very long chains."

For the code I've seen and written, it's rare to see pipes longer than 4 commands long. If you get any longer than that, it's easy to store the output object in a variable and continue to work with this variable as a shorthand.

Moved back from China to the UK with our 3 & 5 year olds whose mother language was Chinese. I’d assumed there would be some kind of struggle getting them adjusted to English - exactly the opposite.

Now both kids have 95% lost their Chinese, and I’m having to ‘forcibly’ reintroduce it. Kind of amazed me.
Its certainly not late for you to get either your GED or simply go back to high school, and either of those options are the safest options. The amount of posts saying otherwise are somewhat disturbing. Its super great that you're pursuing your passion in CS (I wish I discovered the subject back when I was your age)!That said, getting that diploma or GED will save you a lot of hassle with employers in the long run (unless you end up developing something that can make an impact and would impress companies). Operate on a worst-case scenario.
Partially its because demand is fairly inelastic at historical price levels. As electric cars begin competing with ICE cars that won't be the case any longer.
> Obviously you are paying for the shot by paying more for insurance

Wrong calculation. The insurance company is trying to SAVE expenditures of doctors and hospitalizations; therefore, customers getting the flu shot cost the insurer less. Even further for herd immunity (the pt), 1 insured getting the flu shot might reduce 4-8 others from getting the flu.

A better question might be "should we?" Consider that we as a species seem incapable of taking care of ourselves on our own planet. Unless that changes, it seems pretty irresponsible. We would be like the dad that skipped town.
In general I think I would agree from my own anecdotal evidence. However, I actually think a lot of the cultural causes revealed in the paper have a polarizing effect such that more kids want perfectionism and more kids stop caring altogether. I feel that fewer kids take the middle road of just having one aspect of their lives that they consider of utmost importance, and instead more are either tacking on yet another activity at the end of the school day, or giving up and playing video games all day.
Except that in this case you can just go to your doctor and get your vitamin D level tested. Then you adjust your dosage as needed to reach the recommended blood concentration. Adequate vitamin D levels are the subject of a little controversy [0], but I don't think it is a fad to consider that people need a certain level of vitamin D.

There is -and, but it eats output, so yeah, that's a bit annoying.
The catch to this is there is substantial reason to believe that non-exposure can actually make you more subsceptible later on, so it’s better to just get the flu to stay on pace with antigens for future strains.
I think you're missing the point, and you actually agree with grandparent.

So they say it's hard to run it in Kubernetes because they weren't running it in StatefulSets. Then they say you can actually run it properly in a StatefulSet but hand-wave it away with "but people run it on top of Ceph which has issues with latency". That sounds like a shitty excuse to just dismiss the whole thing as too hard. If one particular underlying storage system wasn't good, use a better one. Kubernetes allows you to abstract the actual storage implementation to whatever you want so it's not like there's lack of options.

Also I'd be curious to see if "most people" actually use Ceph vs network storage like EBS volumes where AWS guarantees me that I won't have data corruption issues in exchange for money.

Same thing. Got the shot. Got the flu. It was annoying but didn't need a trip to the doctor or hospital.

A friend without shot who got the flu at the same NYE party as I did ended up needing to go to the doctor to get tests and tamiflu.

Interestingly, the doc was able to test for the specific strain (#2) and they were also entered into a national database.
This is also called having 'weak hands' by the cryptocurrency community.

> So you're saying that French people are better of unemployed as it is.

Well, I'm saying that most every improvement to labor laws that benefit employees make it more difficult and/or more expensive to hire. That was the case with the 5 day work week being introduced, 2 week holiday (then 3, 4, and 5) etc. The argument is always that it makes a country less competitve and unemployment higher. But I'm pretty happy to live somewhere with 5 week holiday. So there has to be a balance somewhere.
They have an ambitious roadmap and a long way to go. Maybe it will fail, but so do most startups and projects. But right now, whether you think it's a worthless token or not, the market values it insanely highly (3,166X the ICO price of $0.036) and any token holder can sell it this instant and get liquidity. So how is that a scam?
Yeah, good business is essentially the art of scamming people out of their money.
Just a thought, if we use even 1% of all computing power that is currently being used for mining cryptocurrency, what can it be used to accomplished?
Unless they're in a very cloistered community, kids are exposed to the, uh, "host language" very, very frequently. Our toddler has been in daycare since she was fairly young, and started picking up both English and Spanish words. (Her word for "water" remains "agua", in fact; she only recently switched from "abre" to "open".)

(And if they're in a very cloistered community, their parents are probably more focused on the native language instead of the host language anyway.)
> so that they don't get confused

Is that really a thing? My father is japanese and I grew up in Brazil. I don't think my lack of fluency in japanese was due to any fear from my parents - my parents spoke japanese at home and even had me attend nihongakkou (japanese classes). But it's very hard to develop real fluency without a community. My cousins had always been more fluent due to being involved in a karaoke community - something my family wasn't. My mother was born in Brazil too, and spoke japanese fluently as a child because she was raised in a isolated japanese farming community where many people couldn't speak portuguese.

Even now, with my kids, it's been far easier for them to pick up mandarin (my wife's mother tongue), since until a few months ago, their grandparents lived with us and spoke mandarin exclusively, and since the community where we lived was predominantly chinese (read: there are chinese supermarkets, there are chinese books in the library, and most classmates in their school are 1st/2nd-gen chinese). Compared to that, it's been a lot harder to get them to learn portuguese, since I'm literally the only person around them who speaks it.
A strong enough laser might even be able to destroy the image sensor. I remember reading about concert cameras being ruined by the lasers that were part of the show.
This feels like a false choice. Why should I buy that the "decentralized system" distributes wealth at all? After all the top 1000 wallets hold 35% of bitcoin, and the top miners are factories that keep the best mining hardware to themselves. All of which compounds the fact that the participants in bitcoin were already wealthy enough from the "centralized" solution to buy into it.

It's probably one of our best options if we fail to find a way to reach a destination faster than light (our current candidate being warp).

Microscopic life, especially bacteria, would be simple. We could simply drop off a wide variety of samples on a planet (especially extremophiles) and wait a few billion years. It would probably cost roughly the same order of magnitude as getting a satellite to wherever it is that you want to seed life. This assumes that the planet isn't entirely hostile to even extremophiles.
Unfortunately no mandatory sick leave will affect the majority of workers who are contingent, temporary, or otherwise even more at risk of losing pay and firing if they(we) go home sick.

That's not true at all. His explicit confession makes what once could only be speculation something much closer to a believable truth, which means people can do more about it. Chiding him for not donning sack-cloth in penance just undermines what good his statements could do.

We wouldn't have to take care of it. Could just seed and let life do its thing.

But to me the real "should we?" is because it might destroy evidence of other events. Maybe there are simple organisms hiding somewhere or some poorly understood phenomenon that would be obscured or destroyed by our introduction of life.
I think it can be done, since there was the android on iphone project. In theory, one would need to find the Linux kernel fork that was used at the time, treat it as "vendor" kernel and start the port:

It looks like is an HTTP API server that's only intended to be used by other programs on the local machine that explicitly know about it, not by any HTTP client that happens to run on the local machine (like a web browser, or an embedded web browser in some random app). They appear to have an authentication step by having the first URL return a token, and requiring you pass the token to all other URLs, but that doesn't actually secure anything.

The easy way to fix it is to introduce some non-HTTP-based way of transmitting this token. For instance, put the token in the user's Blizzard settings directory, so that you have to have read access to the user's files to access the server. Or use some non-network-based interprocess communication mechanism, like named pipes, to do the initial authentication. Or (what we did a couple jobs ago), check what the other end of the socket is, and make sure it's a known-good app (instead of making sure it's not a known-bad app, which is what they're doing).

If you're intentionally embedding a web browser in your app and want it to access this interface, you can have your code pick up the token from a file / from IPC using native code, and then send it into the embedded web browser as a cookie or JavaScript variable or something. Most ways of embedding a web browser in a native app support this.

The reason they fixed it this way is probably because all good ways of fixing it require code changes to every client to use the new mechanism, and there are lots of clients using this interface, and this only requires a code change to the one server. (Even though "client" and "server" are both running on the same machine, patching one binary on everyone's computer is still easier than rebuilding and patching lots of binaries.)
While home solar is great, it is nowhere as reliable as the grid. You can have days when the sun doesn't shine.
