I grew up five minutes from Bal Harbour Shops and thought it was a pretty terrible mall all throughout my childhood since it had no arcade, KB Toys, or Electronics Boutique.

It’s pretty amazing how it and Aventura Mall continue to grow. I guess Latin America hasn’t gotten the message that retail is dead (in reality, a flight to Miami and an empty suitcase is a bargain compared to the prices folks see at home).
The complaint is not about the cost of the certificate, it's about handing the control to availability to someone else.

What you are describing is how things are working for now.

First, there's now guarantee Let's Encrypt will be here tomorrow. You're pinning the future of the Internet onto the shoulders of maybe a dozen people who run it.

Second, CA's are - by definition - centralized. There's no guarantee that, in principle, you'll always be able to get a certificate for them.

The Internet was designed to be distributed and hard to break. HTTPS-only Internet is going backwards on this.

I'm all for security and privacy, but any solution that requires a centralized third-party for the whole system to function is, in my opinion, broken by design.

There's that, and there's making the system needlessly complicated for many tasks. There are very, very many websites and users (I'd say - the absolute majority) who are OK with the Dangers Of HTTP (that is, some intermediate party being aware that you read a certain webpage). Worrying about that in the age where every step is tracked, every face detected, and every page is full of trackers seems, to me, facetious.
Venezuela is a shithole, and it looks like the entire country could collapse any day now.
Rod shaped bacterium are hardly ever Gram positive. Gram positive are defined by their thick layer of peptidoglycan. Because it is a thick, strong structure, it naturally sticks to round shapes.

Gram negatives also have a layer of peptidoglycan, but much thinner. Therefore they can form rods that have bends and straight sections as they are not constrained by their thick structure.
Now that I think about it, I too try to compensate by focusing on areas that I am strong in or excel at. I'll put in extra effort and try to take the initiative on projects. This has earned me a promotion, however I feel that I've basically hit a ceiling due to my speech blocking.

Thanks for sharing.

>There is no medical specialty dedicated to anyone who loses an infant or pregnancy

But this is exactly what an MFM (maternal fetal medicine specialist) does. I'm not sure that the one MFM you tried to consult with is indicative of the whole of the field.
Agreed, and this post does a good job describing why:

> The world has probably not reached 'peak child' yet. However, we are likely very close to a long flat peak; the number of children in the world will not increase much more. We are close to the peak.

I find this highly unlikely. There is huge selection pressure in favor of any population that is resistant to whatever is causing the general decrease in fertility.

One example is the Amish. For quite a while, now, their population doubles every 20 years. So far they've managed to maintain their fertility, where other notoriously high fertility populations who are less culturally isolated have not.
Before I just dropped Amazon altogether, something like 75% of my Prime orders were late. At some point it becomes tedious to go to them and ask for some compensation. And they only ever offered me extensions of Prime (and lied about it, too, but that's another story). And I don't even live in some remote area...

Regime change has been underway for years. It always starts with sanctions to choke off and destabilize a country. Then the instability is used as a (poor) excuse to invade. The same playbook is invariably used against every country that opposes US/NATO global hegemony.

When one of our client states uses violence against protesters (Egypt, Israel, Saudi Arabia, ect) we supply them with Apache attack helicopters and billions of dollars in subsidies. When the same behavior is exhibited by a state that isn't under our control, sanctions and war are always soon to follow.

> So the problem is lack of ice and not directly related to economic status? If one goes far enough north, or south, where ice is easily found for practice then the costs decline? So it's more where people choose to live versus the cost of the sport as a whole?

Minors don’t choose where their parents live. If you’re getting drafted at 19 yrs of age, you’ve probably been playing since you were a kid. If you don’t live in a region with abundant natural ice, it will cost you money to skate.

Frankly, your comments comes across as the same type of empty criticism as that which often comes up when people complain about government: “If it’s really so bad, why don’t you just move to another country?” Easier to blame someone for where they live than to consider the challenges of relocating. Both criticisms are deliberately dim.

Whatever time is chosen is a moving target since kids would go to sleep later if school started later. The real fix is to get kids to sleep earlier. But it is hard since artificial light lets them stay up very late without them feeling sleepy.

Unless you buy that kind of stuff, you don't really know how well they treat you in those situations. You are literally a client of the sales person, not just some shopper. They keep in touch, they let you know when things that you might like come in, just all around amazing service. Obviously that comes with the cost.

100% agreed. Thunderbird for many years was (or was perceived as) moribund and now that it's showing more signs of life people are pushing to add mobile clients as well as desktop? Are those people trying to kill it off?
I was using a feature in Skype where I could do video and have an interactive sheet open with a choice of red, blue or green ink to see who was drawing at the same time. I think this was 2007. I was overseas and was doing homework with my kids. It's still in Skype, but I believe only the business version or with Office 365. It was free then. I don't see many options now that are free and are interactive.

Lewandowski's credibility is in the gutter after this. There is proof of him siphoning confidential documents, data, from Google's internal systems.

I'm not sure how Waymo losing would make it less threatening for people to do the same thing? They now know more than ever that anything they do to internal/confidential data is being monitored.
In the early 1990s when we did this research, it was mostly RS-232 devices; the designers did in fact often connect LEDs directly to the serial TXD and RXD lines, which are relatively high voltage and have plenty of drive capability. Garden variety LEDs are plenty fast enough to reproduce bit transitions in the nanosecond range; we measured intelligible signals in the lab well into megabits per second; on real devices in the field, hundreds of kilobits per second.

You're right, the trick wouldn't work so well with modern LVDS levels and speeds, but we examined (at the time) lots of Ethernet NICs with LEDs on them and found no indication there of useful data in the optical region. (It was a different story on the back panel of enterprise Cisco routers....)

Ethernet PHY chips invariably, so far as I've seen, implement a pulse stretcher on the LED output pins for exactly the reason you noted. We found no intelligible optical emanations from any of the—admittedly low-cost—Ethernet devices we tested. But since then, two things have happened: USB and HFT.

There are definite opportunities for the same thing to happen again. I've seen indications of it in a few USB devices.

High Frequency Trading, though, is a whole other can of worms. There, you have FPGAs and ASICs being used to shave nanoseconds off latency, and I wouldn't be a bit surprised to see off-the-shelf gigabit Ethernet PHY chips spurned by fintech specialists designing an extremely specialised piece of hardware to do one job and do it as fast as physics allows.

There's a window of opportunity there (sorry!) for rival HFT firms with a telescope and very high speed photodetector to exploit any incautiously wired-up LEDs connected directly to ASIC signals....

Hint: use a photomultiplier; PIN photodiodes are fast but the transimpedance amplifiers they need are s-l-o-w.
The only thing talking about privilege does is create a game of one-upmanship where everyone tries to tear others success down.

I would argue everyone is privileged to some degree. Hell, being born in a first world country makes you way more privileged than most of the world.

And yes, there is luck involved, but hard work plays a massive role in outcomes. To ignore that is folly.
Now I want a cow, thanks.

Seriously, I can't help but wonder if we have made some comically bad mistakes in letting food become so centralized.
It appears you're talking about pinning in browsers only, so I'll address from that perspective only.

For public certs: Yes, but that would only produce the desired effect if the site hadn't yet been pinned, and this was a first connection, or in the case of the pins having expired. In other words, the pinning can only be stripped out if there is no pinning already in place on the client.

However, this will soon be a moot point, as Chrome removes pinning in favor of cert transparency. This will reopen this security hole in browsers simply trying to be secure within captive portals and other insecure networks. Tor has pinning that would extend from inside the portal to outside, so that may be one option, but I don't yet know how sturdy that is.
I'm not sure how much I would trust any promise from Uber to not continue to use technology they already have, even if it was stolen. Uber doesn't seem the company to just say "Ok" and delete the information that wasn't theirs. I would be skeptical a lot of under the table development is still in action, but with a better mindset of not getting caught in place.
THough I agree education will bring down the world population I don't see it happening in Asia or Africa any time soon. One of the major reasons for the change and drop in population growth in the west was not just education but the world wars where large number of male population was either fighting or died and resulted in woman joining the workforce in large numbers. Japan had a similar thing happen after the war. China because of its 1 child policy had a similar effect with more women entering the workforce and being educated.
In the long term, this can only happen when mortality is very high.

There are lots of things that seem to reduce the rate. We can consider education, birth control, taxes, child support, alimony, custody laws, religion, heathcare costs, daycare costs, education costs... and in the end it doesn't matter one bit.

None of that can possibly matter in the long run because the chance of having more offspring than normal is inheritable. You might point at birth control and ask how that fits in, but your ability and willingness/desire to use it is a mental trait that is at least partially inheritable.

There is no escape from evolution.
Brain vitrification, from their FAQ:

This procedure is not yet reversible because of other damage (not caused by ice) including biochemical effects of the vitrification solution — but it eliminates ice damage and the preservation of fine structure is excellent.

Funny, I find that the cryonics advocates are the ones with the deep and visceral illogical fear of death. That’s why one signs up for cryonics, right? Being at peace with one’s mortality removes the selfish “rational” incentive for cryonics.

Individual people are replaceable, and don’t belong outside of their own time. If you want to advocate cryonics for the masses, think about what you would do if you had to live in a world with the reanimated masses of the 18th century. Because that’s the kind of mess you propose to inflict on our future descendants.

> When you're starting from scratch

And other times. I've been working in software for almost two decades. I ran into a particular data problem that I could describe but didn't know the name of (a la wizard of earthsea). So I couldn't search to see how others had tackled this.

Google and blogs and YouTube and stackoverflow have pushed the boundaries of knowledge. You don't need to know exactly how to do something (for many kinds of tasks) but you do need to know what it is called, and how to adapt what you find on the net to your situation.
Whole-body preservation has been a more expensive option (and I assume still is, but I haven't been keeping up to date).

Not that I've tried, but I guess detaching a head at the base has less potential to damage than would opening and removing the whole skull.
That was clearly off the cuff. But we're here in the context of people with new money blowing it all, so let's stay there instead of imagining we're talking about something else.

First, start with the 25 number. We're talking about athletes here, they aren't losing their income potential at 40, they're losing it a lot earlier than that. There are 40 year old athletes, but we talk about them all the time because they're unusual, not because they're the norm.

Next, cut the rate of return. Like by half. Nobody with new money is that successful with their finances. That's why we're discussing this.

Now, I wasn't thinking about this too hard when I did the math in my head, but I do tend to round down pretty heavily when doing math for myself for a very particular reason: adjust down for inflation. Way, way down. The biggest fuckup people make when rationalizing their rate of savings or how great an investment their house is: by the time you get to use this money thirty years from now it won't be worth half of what it's worth right now. Present day you thinks 25k a year will pay your rent. 70 year old you will have to move to the middle of nowhere to say that. You won't want to do that. So double your withdrawal rate by 60 and almost again by the time you die.
The world is doing better than it has ever been in human history.

We are not running out of food. Hunger is DECREASING, not increasing. And quality of life is improving by every single metric, across the board.

If you want to assert that there are to many humans, you have to provide real evidence.

Such evidence would only include things like "Hunger is increasing" or "these quality of life metrics are decreasing", but that is absolutely not what is happening.
So what did you shift your values from, and to?
“Even in a bad economy, this is something that we need.”

Reminds me of some consumer research on Brazil that I worked on. Parents there buy video games for kids even when they can’t afford to send them to private school to get a better education. If they didn’t have such messed up values their economic strength would have made them a world-leading country by now.
> never connects to a remote server, which she can connect to from her browser, which just works, never shows an annoying HTTPS warning, never requires enabling custom CAs, and provides all functionality of the browser, without being marked as "not secure".

Right, do you have a proposal for how to accomplish this? If you don't want to require an internet connection, I think trusting a self-signed cert is the best way to go, otherwise owning a domain name + letsencrypt is good if you're ok connecting to the internet.
I am always amazed by how smart Amazon was by buying whole foods. With one purchase they gained foothold in a bunch of upper-middle-class consumers. The type that doesn't mind paying a little extra for convenience. With this move, they will get additional prime members plus they sell groceries that bring a higher profit margin. Additionally, those are customers that they want shopping at Amazon.com.

I'm indifferent on Logan Paul, but this sounds like classic bullshit, considering how his channel generates over $10m a year, stated previously in the article. Sounds like YouTube is scared that one bad apple is going to spoil the rest of them. This would be a non-issue in a decentralized platform.

Centralized gatekeepers who personally green-light all of the content coming through the platform doesn't scale, and it's not provably fair at all. Just as we saw with governments, it is impossible for a single highly responsible entity to give proper attention to real issues and problems in a fair way. As long as a handful of far-removed people in a room are making decisions, we will continue to observe freedoms being taken away.

Fitzpatrick? (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fitzpatrick_scale)
Is it purely a matter of taste? or does the languages in question has some specific qualities that, in part, dictate the order?

I think you will find that for each language developed there is a historical reason for the choices made. Different people have different aesthetics about such matters.

Such matters will never be fully decided for one way or the other.

What really matters is how complete the semantics of a language are. I can live with varying syntax, but undefined, unspecified or implementation defined semantics means that one can never know if any program written in a language with these kinds of semantics will run across varying machines and operating systems.
The young economist looks down and sees a $20 bill on the street and says, “Hey, look a twenty-dollar bill!”

UBI isn't the clear choice everyone makes it out to be. I'm all for lowering inequality and spreading out wealth. But, fundamentally, UBI is just a welfare program with way more money pouring in so it guarantees a livable income to everyone. We could achieve the same effect by just increasing the progressive welfare. We could remove those welfare cliffs where people lose money by making more money by smoothing out the curves. But, UBI does something more by taking money from those who need it and giving it to those who don't. Every dollar going to an upper middle class tech worker is a dollar not going towards uplifting the lowest of our society. We should care a little about efficiency because UBI will be CRAZY expensive and CRAZY anti-business when we increase taxes on them. There are less costly ways to achieve better income equality like better education or increased welfare which don't hurt business. Businesses could operate with way thinner profits sure, but other countries offer other options.

FWIW, I read your comment the same zero-sum way. Perhaps it was because you used the term "the price" as if there's one price and any deviation from that value represents error.

If I have three shoes, I might correctly place little value on the extra, while a person with only one shoe might correctly place a lot of value on it. My selling the shoe for anything more than $0 is rational, and the other person's buying the shoe for anything less than the price of a full pair of shoes is also rational.
