Speaking of the effect this would have on peoples memories, there's also the potential to use these tools to gaslight [1] someone.

An abuser could make images where a person was at an event they were never at, or with a person they never met.

> "You've totally met Steve before, here's a photo of you with him, how do you not remember?"

An abuser could even more effectively tear down someones reality than ever before. If they were having an affair with someone they just met, they could claim to be old school friends catching up, just insert them into an old photo.

Obviously, it's not all bad. There is the potential for this to be used for good as well, but I'm a pessimist.

I always thought about cycling to work, but that would mean more than doubling the amount of time commuting and thus complicating the family organization (basically my wife, who is also having a full-time job, would need to take care of everything, while I am polluting less).
So far I haven't found a definite solution to how, in the modern world, work at least 8-10 hours per day, possibly far from home, while having a family, and not polluting.

Beware. We don't know that the inflammation is not compensatory. Since we know its purpose IS to be compensatory, it seems more reasonable to default to it being compensatory, than the original problem; or better, to withhold our judgement.

Courts will use the best evidence available for a particular case, including all kinds of things that obviously can be less than perfectly reliable. Physical photographs have been doctored (or staged) for more than a century, and that doesn't mean that photos as such are inadmissible as evidence; so the fact that the process for taking video wasn't especially tamper-proof won't by itself be sufficient to disqualify it.

If a video is available and doesn't contain a pre-published key then the courts will still want to use it as useful evidence instead of simply ignoring it - sure, the opponent might have a slightly easier time attempting to contest that evidence as possibly doctored (just as they can do now), but courts will still make a judgement for each individual case.

Did some research and it seems to be somewhat more effective than curcumin+piperine:

Piperine study (PS): https://turmericaustralia.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/...

Theracumin study (TS): https://www.jstage.jst.go.jp/article/bpb/36/11/36_b13-00150/...

In TS table 3 shows the Cmax was 25.5ng after 30mg of theracumin.

In PS table 2 shows the Cmax was 180ng after 2000mg of curcumin + 20mg of piperine (the table says 2g/kg but after reading the Materials and Methods section I believe this is just a typo. 2g/kg would be a ton of curcumin).

So comparing the two, it seems that Theracumin was absorbed 10x more per mg consumed. Of course, the question is if you consume equal amounts of Theracumin and Curcumin + Piperine, would the absorption rate hold, which we can't answer, but seems pretty promising.

My apologies if I misunderstood you - I read your comment as suggesting that safe abstractions are "leaky" and therefore create additional responsibilities for users to validate that they are using them safely when composing them together. This is not the case unless those abstractions are incorrect - which is the same situation you are with any language, just most languages those abstractions exist within the language runtime & not in libraries.

> Burger King restaurants are independent franchisees but the brand is owned by Restaurant Brands International, based in Ontario, Canada.

While it's true that the headquarters is in Ontario, RBI is majority owned by 3G Capital out of Brazil. They moved the RBI HQ to Ontario ostensibly for tax reasons when they acquired Tim Horton's. Burger King's HQ still appears to be in Miami. So I'm not sure if it's wholly honest to make this seem like a Canadian company doing this, they're just the middle parent of a U.S. HQ > Canada HQ > Brazil HQ ownership chain.

you'll say it's innovation, but in reality, probably 0.1% of the employees got to work on it.

This is irrelevant. So long as the new innovative product succeeds and is allowed to cannibalize the existing products, the company stays on top, riding the new wave.

Even Steve Jobs said he only worked on three disruptive innovative products: The Apple 2, the original Mac, and the iPhone, and those were spaced out by very long periods.

It's not relevant that there were only 3 products spaced out by a lot of time. The significant point is that someone was allowed to do the disruptive innovation, and that the new products were allowed to cannibalize the existing products to some extent.

"Herein we report the prevalence of acne in 2 nonwesternized populations: the Kitavan Islanders of Papua New Guinea and the Aché hunter-gatherers of Paraguay." They also mention reports from an Inuit community as it transitioned from a traditional diet/lifestyle to a more industrialized one, and the concomitant rise of acne.

The speculation is that low-glycemic load diets are related, possibly through insulin sensitivity/resistance. So probably an industrialized Chinese diet with a relatively high proportion of refined rice (or other grains) is also prone to acne.
It's about time someone reported it.

Quick quibble with one item:

> Don’t force it. I’ve gone weeks without writing anything. It happens.

I'm a reasonably prolific author (six books, two of them have fourth editions coming out in the coming year, all published by O'Reilly). Aspiring writers ask me for advice pretty regularly. (I'm happy to share, if anyone's interested and has questions.) One thing I always tell people is to read Stephen King's "On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft" -- people dismiss his work because he's a horror writer, but in my opinion he's one of the best writers of the past century. This book is full of excellent advice to writers, especially aspiring book writers. I found it valuable to my own work, even as an author of technical books.

Most of Batnick's advice in his post is excellent, but I strongly agree with the advice not to force it. This excerpt from "On Writing" sums it up better than I can:

> Once I start work on a project, I don’t stop and I don’t slow down unless I absolutely have to. If I don’t write every day, the characters begin to stale off in my mind—they begin to seem like characters instead of real people. The tale’s narrative cutting edge starts to rust and I begin to lose my hold on the story’s plot and pace. Worst of all, the excitement of spinning something new begins to fade. The work starts to feel like work, and for most writers that is the smooch of death. Writing is at its best—always, always, always—when it is a kind of inspired play for the writer. I can write in cold blood if I have to, but I like it best when it’s fresh and almost too hot to handle.

(King, Stephen. On Writing: A Memoir Of The Craft (p. 153). Scribner. Kindle Edition.)

I recognize that feeling from my own work -- again, as a writer of non-fiction, technical books. I think it's an excellent model for anyone looking to write.
This is in relation to conditional conformance though, and very reasonable in that context.

You are taking something out of context and commenting just to be snarky. This is not a case that you commonly use:

var left: [String?] = ["Andrew", "Lizzie", "Sophie"]

var right: [String?] = ["Charlotte", "Paul", "John"]

left == right

This works fine, for example:

var left: [String] = ["Andrew", "Lizzie", "Sophie"]

var right: [String] = ["Charlotte", "Paul", "John"]

left == right
Some tips, based somewhat on experience:

Hire grownups. Hire people who won't do politics, who won't harass people, who will get their work done instead of slacking, and who know (or can learn) to use the tools, languages, and techniques you think should be used.

Somebody's got to keep the BigCo bureaucracy from strangling the team's ability to get things done. If that's you, I pity you, but somebody's got to do it.

Your job includes managing both the procedures and the culture. Remember that both of these are things that you can change. "This is the way the BigCo CTO thinks the procedure should be" is not a good argument unless you've tried very hard to push back against it. (Even then, it may only be an argument that you can't do what you're trying to do in BigCo in any reasonable way, and that it's time to move on.)

If your team can in fact do fast delivery, somewhere up the reporting chain you're going to have an impedance mismatch with somebody who expects waterfall-style pacing and reporting. You're either going to have to persuade that person to let you run leaner and move faster, or else you're going to need political cover from even higher up to use against that person.

I have a few thoughts on why you "don't see a ton of job postings" for security. First of all, would you notice one if you saw it? For example, my posting on the "Ask HN: Who is hiring? (January 2018)" thread is this:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16057016

Note that I describe the sorts of skills we seek. (you don't need to have them all) The word "security" doesn't appear because that isn't too interesting or useful. Lots of good people come from an embedded RTOS background. Somebody who just runs a port scanner would not have the right skills.

Second of all, are you looking in the right places, online or physically? On reddit, try /r/netsec or /r/reverseengineering or similar. Be willing to consider the southeastern states.

Making yourself look good to hire is mainly about showing that you have the skills. We hired somebody who had a great story about hacking an overly-fancy parking meter to run code from the tokens. We hired another person who got invited to talk at a conference about hacking a router. Solving some of the DEFCON CTF challenges would look good; they are considered difficult. Contributing to a project like Wine or Qemu or MAME would look good, particularly if you deal with something undocumented.

That's what it means if you use it properly. If you write bad code, it means "this code will break everything and the compiler won't protect you." An `unsafe` block does nothing to guarantee that you're doing something safe, which is what you seem to be saying, even if it's not what you mean to say.
On 64bit Linux, stack frames are always aligned at 16 byte boundaries. The first 8 bytes of the frame contains the return address then there are 8 bytes of padding and then comes the stack allocations.

I think the example is poorly constructed, because it is inconceivable that the address to the start of an array would not be aligned sizeof(int*) bytes.

HTTP signatures and LD-signatures serve different purposes. HTTP sigs authenticate server-to-server requests, while LD-signatures allow to forward verified messages in the network. The forwarding part is a good extra for UX purposes but it's not necessary for your implementation, you can just stick to HTTP sigs which are really simple. I agree that LD-signatures are very complicated to implement. If you avoid LD-signatures then you don't have to mess with JSON-LD canonicalization either, you can just treat the JSON as simple JSON (though it's still a bit fiddly because a value can often be either a URI string, an array of URI strings, an object, or an array of objects).
