At a lot of companies, it's hard to telecommute unless you get your foot in the door by working with them for a while and becoming invaluable, giving you enough leverage to demand it in the next time you negotiate employment terms.

This is a real shame, since millions of people live in flyover states, and some of them are probably talented programmers who can't or won't move to tech hubs for one reason or another. (I'm one of them.)

It's a missed opportunity for tech companies, and it damages the social and political fabric of our society by isolating the wealth being created by the technology industry to a few big cities.

If things like congenital heart defects are a real risk (especially a doubling), it should show up very easily in mortality and other hard endpoints.

Sorry for not being clear enough in my initial post. I'm not talking about a development server. I'm talking about the end product being a server. For example in the form of a user-friendly executable that is natively running on your Windows/Linux/macOS Desktop, a Mobile device, or (alternatively) a single-board computer such as a Raspberry Pi. The end-users using this are not developers. They are just normal users running a simple piece of software that provides them with a web-frontend for a service in their home-network. No internet connection required whatsoever.
> accusations about them wanting to keep us glued to their screen seem mostly to come from people who were (and are) perfectly fine with television networks that did the same thing for decades

That's a stretch. Not sure what the argument is there.
Rather than answer this outright (as I don't have a complete answer), I'd encourage you to imagine what some of the things that would make a high impact journal, one that you'd find useful. Even if you don't have all of the answers, that would move the ball forward a bit, and put some skin in the game/conversation, as it were. What would make the journal high impact? Would there be costs associated with that? If so, how would you fund it?

Increasing funds for public housing might accelerate a solution. Stonewalling market-rate development doesn’t make anyone better off (except existing owners).

Since we find affordable housing through (effective) taxes on market rate construction, blocking it yields lower total affordable housing production.
At least let me see the value proposition directly (not in a screenshot) for one movie/minute before forcing me to sign up.

Is signing up even truly integral to the app in some way, be it functionally or for monetization purposes? Either way, a registration wall during beta for a highly visual product doesn't seem like a great idea.

I know the counter-argument to this is probably that this limits the number of beta users and makes it less overwhelming to manage early on, but I side with the school of thought that favors exposure above all else, especially during early stages.
As for the mortality issue, the oldest IVF baby is currently something like 38. And given that it didn’t become common until even later, we’re not going to have that data for several decades.

People fall into two broad traps.
Either they are loosing money for no good reason (a consumption culture with ever escalating healthcare/edu/housing prices makes this simple), or they are accumulating money for no good reason, thanks to some class they took that says beating inflation is the point of their story.
Once your housing/family healthcare/edu expenses are taken care off kiddos, there is no good reason to be beating inflation. Unless you are trying to build the Taj Mahal or something.
> The obvious solution is to have lockers at homes

It's not uncommon to see this around dense housing. I've seen apartments where each unit has a small mail box, and there are (say) a dozen larger lockers off to the side. When USPS needs to deliver a package, they put it in one of the lockers, and then put the key to that locker in the recipient's mail box.

I suppose the system assumes that none of your neighbors clone those keys, but it seems at least a step in the right direction.

Excellent book. And recommended for the fine denizens of Altair IV (both of us) as well.

I'd also very strongly recommend Vaclav Smil's Energy and World History (1994) or the updated Energy and Civilization (2017). These describe history through the lens of energy sources, and the role of energy in that history.

Manfred Weisenbacher takes on much the same story in Sources of Power, which is a more comprehensive, if uneven, book. Excellently researched (and drawing heavily on Smil as well as many, many other sources), but could use some trimming and occasionally verges strongly to the polemical.

> Could you use a blind signature to construct a rotating code 2 factor scheme where leaking the server credential doesn't lead to complete compromise?

Off hand I don't imagine it's possible to do that this way, but there is a challenge-response authentication scheme that does guarantee (if you use it correctly) that compromise of the server credentials does not allow you to impersonate clients to the server. It's called SCRAM-SHA (RFC 5802, RFC 7677) and uses client and server nonces to provide the session uniqueness property (authentications can't be replayed).

Leaking the server credentials (StoredKey, ServerKey) does not lead to compromise (obtaining the ClientKey) under this scheme because StoredKey = H(ClientKey) and reversing H() is hard.
This article is from 2009, which, if you'll recall, was not a banner year for demonstrating the stability of real estate investments. Also, as detailed in the article, a big problem with real estate investments is knowing whether an investment is really worth what you are paying.
Good example.

Without the Oxford comma, it is unambiguous because we know that the comma cannot be making an appositive phrase, because if it was that phrase would include "Ayn Rand and my daughter". We know that your mother cannot be your daughter, so that cannot be intended part of an appositive phrase.

Note, though, that it is only unambiguous without the Oxford comma because we know that one's mother cannot be one's daughter. So in some sense it actually is ambiguous grammatically but we can resolve the ambiguity by using knowledge beyond grammar. (I don't know if punctuation counts as grammar, but I'm counting it in this comment).

As with my examples, the ambiguity stems from comma being both a list separator and a separator for parts of appositive phrases.

If we were to write appositive phrases like I suggested (using parenthesis instead of commas), and always use the Oxford comma, it would become "To my mother, Ayn Rand, and my daughter" and would be grammatically unambiguous. We would not need to know the meaning of the words to parse it. We would only need to know their grammatical categories.
So in your mind because I’ve had unsatisying relationships and I’m fit then I must be gay?

Most Muslims in Germany are not particularly extreme and send their daughters to school just like their sons and yet they have a much higher fertility rate that other groups in Germany.

Lack of fresh water due to global warming for example.
Pretty much. There were no long-haul pipelines as we know them prior to the 1860s. Part of that arose from the fact that there was no material particularly suited to pipelines.

Water tended to be transported in viaducts (or occasionally tunnels). Longer runs might be made of clay. Even firing that required tremendous amounts of fuel in a fuel-starved world.

The advent of Bessemer steel, machine tools, railroads (and steel rather than wrought-iron rails, far stronger and less prone to splitting), and mechanical pumps, allowed pipelines to be built.

The first that I'm aware of were deployed along Oil Creek in Titusville, Pennsylvania, home of the U.S. petroleum industry. Contemporaneous accounts discuss the development of those pipelines.

Long, interstate pipelines came out of World War II. The U.S. had been shipping oil from Texas to New Jersey via tankers, but German U-boats were sinking these by the hundreds. The U.S. government financed the construction of the Big Inch and Little Inch pipelines, which remain in use.

The reason a leaked password is devastating is that passwords are reused, both on the site itself (people will select variants of their old passwords when changes are demanded, and eventually rotate back to the original), and, more importantly, on other sites. This means that a compromise of a database of passwords endangers not just that site but many other unrelated sites.

TOTP and U2F keys aren't cross-site, and they don't occupy any space in the user's brain. They can be treated as ephemeral and effaced and regenerated. So we're not generally that alarmed at the prospect of them appearing on Pastebin, modulo of course the implications that has for the rest of our security.

Almost every realistic scenario in which TOTP/U2F keys are leaked implies that all serverside security has been lost anyways, so protecting the keys themselves is a secondary concern. Any reasonable site operator would invalidate all stored keys after such a compromise.

By the way: salting hashes doesn't really protect against password recovery. In modern systems, it's "stretching" that does the real work. You should be using a modern password hash like bcrypt or scrypt, not simply randomizing a standard cryptographic hash.
Its long boot-time makes this inconvenient, unfortunately.
Pretending this just being part of human experience discounts the fact that this entity is new and has properties much different than anything that has existed in human history.

I think that quote understates it. Even people with freedom of mind can be manipulated. I would love to think I am a free-thinker. But there is no way I could honestly insulate myself from persuasion.
Wait. That study suggests that economic factors are impacting Amish fertility rates at similar levels as other groups.

So a religious sect, extremely outside the mainstream also sees fertility declines in line with the rest of the population around them.

I mean those all sound like athletes either getting scammed or getting in over their heads with business endeavors.

Look at the list of fertility rates around the world:

It doesn't seem like there is a rich country, say with GDP over 25K that has replacement levels of fertility.
> In order to hit peak child, every subgroup will also have to hit peak child.

This is an interesting argument; thanks for sharing it. I didn't understand it right away and my intuition was that you must be incorrect. But after playing with some actual numbers I've come to understand. In an attempt to restate your claim in a way that's more intuitive to me:

If a group is reproducing above the replacement ratio, then they haven't hit peak child yet. So if only one subgroup remains that hasn't hit peak child, then that subgroup is also the only one that's growing (all others are shrinking). Assuming that trend continues (read: assuming subgroups have birth rates that reflect their culture, and that culture will be preserved in the next generation), this subgroup will grow without bound.

The pressure-release on a system like this (one which the article you linked points out in its conclusion) is that birthrate within a subgroup isn't fixed. The birthrate among the Amish appears to be declining slightly, perhaps influenced by economic forces in the US. In your example, while it's true that _tommorow_ there will be more Mormons and fewer Italians than today, that doesn't guarantee that eventually the world will be populated entirely by Mormons, because the birthrate in that subgroup isn't wholly 'inherited' (in the cultural sense) -- it may change in ways that we can't forecast today.
I don't know if the first point is accurate.

If a system is meritocratic, doesn't that mean that merit is the filter?

Unless it's not based on merit (ability to deliver + actual delivery) then it does not guarantee that offspring of the meritous will merit advantageous position.

I think the presumption is everyone is given access to tools and then its up to the participants to take advantage of those tools. Not everyone has the same aptitude or ability, so not everyone will merit the desired achievements. What the spread between achievement and non achievement is, depends on their rules (taxes, other handicaps, etc).

Regarding Brexit, does it not potentially narrow the divergence between wealthy and non-wealthy? I.e. it has an opportunity to decrease inequality, even if it may result in diminished wealth for both?
I mean, it says right in the article. Besides the "friends" coming with "great investment ideas" that they have trouble turning down, the kind of person who becomes a pro athlete is often not the kind of person who thinks that investing your money in a mutual fund sounds like a good idea when they could be "swinging for the fences" doing something more tangible.

As an author I laugh whenever I hear about the big debate over the Oxford comma. It's the literary equivalent to the big curly brace on the same vs next line. However, in this instance, as well as certain code scenarios in JavaScript, structuring it one way or another can affect the semantics.

Like code, disambiguating my text is why I generally favor using the Oxford comma in my writing. Not using it is the equivalent to not using parenthesis in a complex logical expression, and defaulting to known order of operations.

Say you want to express:

Jane and Tom, Bill and Wendy, or Susie and Frank.

In code you would be unambiguous with:

(Jane && Tom) || (Bill && Wendy) || (Susie && Frank)

So why omit the Oxford comma when it is necessary to disambiguate? It would have saved both parties, as well as the state of Maine a lot of time, money, and headache.
The "blind ECDSA" in that article is not an ECDSA signature at all. It's a blind schnorr signature.

The article does not mention that the construction there (and ones like it) are vulnerable to a one-more-signature attack if parallel queries are possible-- which is easily a fatal vulnerability in the headline digital cash application for blind signatures.
I think the way electron apps abound when there are possibly better alternatives is similar to the way markdown abounds in spite of other better 'lightweight' markup alternatives.. after years of using markdown, I've migrated to asciidoc and couldn't be happier that I don't have to rely on custom extensions..

I guess it's a mindshare thing and a learning curve thing.. I guess markdown is good enough for the vast majority of cases.. but when it isn't, it becomes a pita..

No framework at all. We use PostgreSQL and simply point postgREST at it, and it automatically generates an entire REST API from the database. Authentication and permissions are handled at the database level.

My biggest peeve with one of these were the audio properties. The frequency response on the speaker is in the high notes, and the audio codec tends to have artifacts in the high frequencies.

There are only 2 major societal problems in the world (1) how to produce a lot of energy for cheap without damaging the ecosystem (2) how to get people to sustainably value common good at least at par with individual good.

Given (1), a few thousand skyscraper farms are enough to support the food needs of our entire planets population. When I did the calculation, I was surprised how little it actually takes.

For (2), the simplistic pure capitalism and pure communism experiments have clearly failed but there are various "in-between" experiments running (northern Europe, Xi Jiping's China, Singapore etc) which seem to be heading to both individual and societal prosperity.
