OK, so by "immutable" you really do mean "static" then? Static stuff can change, but stays unchanged until you actually change it. Dynamic stuff can change even without input from you. Mutable stuff is possible to change. Immutable stuff is impossible to change. etc.

The bigger issue though is I'm trying to square what you're saying here with your blog post:

> I admit it annoyed me when I first ran into it – why can’t you just fix up a message in place

If this was a poor wording, maybe go back and rephrase? Because I it seems pretty undeniable that after reading this sentence the reader gets the impression that you claim it's not possible to go back and fix up a email in your own inbox. Which wouldn't really matter, except that people who aren't aware otherwise will actually believe you and spread misinformation on this. Last thing I want is someone reading your blog post and falling for a scam because they read from a presumably reputable source (you) that emails can't be edited post-facto.
This is awful. I would like to be able to buy a graphics card for it's intended use (gaming) at a reasonable price.
The FEC is responsible for enforcing campaign finance law.

They both relate to elections in the same way that NOAA and the Navy both have missions that relate to the oceans.
Since you only seen to be getting "disagrees" I want to say I agree with you. Obviously no friend is going to be without fault, but also there has to be a line where you say "no, given this, we can't be friends." White supremacy is certainly one of those lines for me.

I could associate with terrible people for work or to try and get them to be less terrible, but I couldn't be friends with them.
I experienced this a few months ago and it was the last straw for me - it really feels like they're willing to do anything to drive engagement and ramp up addiction. This was after I'd removed messenger and facebook from my phone (having them really push hard for me to use messenger creeped me out; it's obviously in order for them to track my location). I've crippled facebook via chrome extensions to the point that it's only a place for me to check messages and keep in touch with local groups/events, and I'm slowly moving off of it entirely.

Thank you. That was the intention, to provide a primer for discussion.
It's things like this that make me enjoy older cars from the 80's and 90's.

I used to own an old Datsun truck. If anything went wrong, I knew that I'd most likely be able to fix it myself, or if I couldn't my mechanic could. There was no software to break, no security vulnerabilities that would cause the brakes to fail, no DRM requiring Genuine Datsun© lightbulbs for the lights to work.

Sure, the thing was a deathtrap, but I owned everything in that truck.

Things are a bit more locked down in 90's cars with fuel injection, as the injection system is a bit more specialised than a carb and they have an ECU. But even the ECU on 90's cars is fairly open.

Obviously there are a couple of fundamental flaws with older cars. The first is that older vehicles are a lot less safe than modern cars, the second being that they are a lot less reliable because they have usually done a lot of miles. They're also less fuel efficient.

I don't want or need an entertainment system in my car, all I need is a aux in, and I'm happy. I don't need my car to be connected to the internet, I don't need GPS, or the weather forecast, or any other dumb tech gimmick. I have a phone for all of that, and when my phone gets old, I can replace it. I can't replace the entertainment system in a modern car.

Luckily, there are still a lot of lower end cars that don't have all these "features". But what I would like is a higher end car, but without all the gimmicks, this is especially a problem with 4wd vehicles, they have too many electronic things in them. You can completely flood an old diesel Toyota Landcruiser or Hilux, and as long as your air intake is above the water, it will keep driving. You can't do that in a modern one.

I remember playing Need for Speed: High Stakes with a 4MB Permedia 2 card, and the game was clearly supposed to have alpha-transparent textures on some lights, but my card couldn't handle it and I got opaque textures with big black borders around all the streetlight lens flares etc.

The worst was the Dolphin Cove track where beautiful shafts of sunlight were meant to lazily filter through the tree canopy onto the road. On my screen, they appeared as fully opaque walls blocking any view of the track ahead.

The software implementation of mpeg2 is covered under copyright.

The math/algorithms/whatever are covered by patents.

I could write a totally distinct implementation of mpeg2 called "myvideoencoder" which used the same math, and the patent would make that a violation of their rights.

Math isn't patentable per numerous rulings in the past, but somehow once a computer is doing math really fast it becomes patentable.
Split-phase power is only common in the US and other countries with 120 volt (+/- 5%) mains. In the 230 volt (+/- 10%) world, it is typical to power single-phase loads either across two phases (delta) or between a phase and ground (wye).

Agreed, with similar disclaimer. I’ve used so many email providers, and none have had my love and loyalty like Fastmail. The highest praise I can offer these days, they earn: Fastmail treats me like the customer, and not the product.
Blockchain engineers are in demand
The biggest problem I see with Coinhive is that they've systematically failed to prevent malicious uses of their service. The Coinhive script is frequently injected into compromised web sites, or into all web sites by locally installed malware, and Coinhive's payout scheme -- fully automated payouts every two hours -- makes it very easy for a malicious user to "get away" with their profits.

(Coinhive claim to disable accounts associated with abuse, but even if they do that promptly, the lack of any meaningful holding period means that abuse can still be quite profitable.)
Presumably. I own a 6P and it is an amazing phone. If I had to buy a new phone today it would probably be a Pixel 2. However it seems to be having some issues with a blue screen tint, perhaps due to a poorly manufactured polariser. That just leaves Samsung, which is out of the running due to their poor history for android updates.

I don't really give a shit myself whether China is spying on me, as I myself have nothing to do with China and don't have any secrets worth stealing, but it would probably be best avoiding any Chinese networking hardware if you have any concerns.
I'm having a hard time figuring out how that's relevant.
Folding is dynamic over the lifetime of the RNA, things like SHAPE are nice but only provide a snapshot. It is still leagues better than simply going by the old school thermodynamics based folding algorithms. A neat way to check out this 'folding space' is to generate all possible structures (possible even for long sequences if you don't include psuedoknots), then do alignments, or integrate experimental data like SHAPE.
There is a pathological case for linear programming which requires exponential time.[1]

Makes sense. But let's take that a step further. I was just talking about this in another thread on HN. How much racism is a proxy for just overall resentment?

I think my parents' families serve as a perfect case study. My parents who are now in their 70s and have been married 50 years were high school sweet hearts. They both grew up and went to school together in the segregated South and both of their parents were poor but they did scrape by.

All of my parents siblings went to the same segregated school. My mom and her four siblings all graduated from some type of post secondary school - teachers, nurses, and one that owns his own car repair business. Out of my dad's siblings, he was the only one to graduate from high school or college. One side, all of them beat the odds and experienced upward mobility and the other side for the most part didn't.

So which side of the family do you think I'm referring to when I say I have to deal with some of them with a long handled spoon?

My parents and more so my grandparents dealt with the brunt of the Jim Crow South. But my parents made sure that they balanced making me aware of our history without allowing me to use that as an excuse or be resentful. Of course they didn't tell me any of this while I was going to a predominantly White private school....
Neat!

This needs Python bindings, stat!
Not so fast!

This "consideration" comes with a couple grains of salt.

First the regulatory-political climate: The pronouncement was stated days ahead of a court ruling regarding what measurements communities could take to reduce air pollution, as well as weeks ahead of a decision the EU will make about how to punish countries that repeatedly miss pollution thresholds, like Germany.

That means: The government is telling communities 'behave', dare not prohibit any type of cars (diesel) from entering your cities, you may get into our "free public transport program" instead.

That it is a crude plan is exemplified by the fact, that some of the "first tier" communities in the plan didn't knew about the plan at all and first heard from it in the news, most of them were just informed days before. So far, all communities criticize the idea.

The estimated costs for Hamburg alone would amount to 800-900 million EUR/year, paid by all the rest of Germany. And then there is the problem that public transit crosses community boundaries - the crude plan though as it is, would grant citizens of one community free access to the same transit system that the neighbouring citizens would have to pay in full.

Regardless of whether free public transit makes sense at all - The fact that it is brought up in such a crude proposal and the fact that it is a progressive idea taken "hostage" by conservatives it is an idea bound to fail and to be muted a long time afterwards.
Those backers are planning on wearing it. It's a hidden market.. a niche that hasn't been exploited.

No need for private communications. Probably better to have here anyway for anyone else who is curious.

I was thinking of using their data to help test and run a system I am working on. I was excited to see that their stuff is free for what I need, as long as I wait until after a specified time to grab it (9 PM EST). I started looking at the data and noticed that it doesn't track corporate actions well at all. This becomes very problematic when you need to track your day over day returns for a security. There were also unexplained gaps and spikes in historical data. For index data, the lists seemed inconsistent in that things would seemingly drop out and then back in from day to the next leaving you with having to manually acquire the value of certain indices manually or having to process a historical file for that index to fill the gap. Historical files are not adjusted properly for actions like splits and ticker changes. Basically it boils down to there being a very, very limited use case for a provider like EODdata. Also, it should be noted that while I was never a paying subscriber, their subscribers have said there is virtually no customer service. I thought that might be the case looking at the website. It seems like EODdata was basically put on autopilot a long time ago and just left to run with no one at the helm. From a security standpoint, I recall them not using HTTPS (that should give you an idea of how long they haven't updated their site or security) and I clearly remember them storing passwords as plain text because I did a "forgot password" and it emailed it to me. In fact, I just did it again now to make sure I wasn't crazy, and sure enough, they haven't fixed anything. Still no HTTPS (even when manually typing in the HTTPS:// prefix) and it just emailed me my password (which was set to a bullshit password that I would never remember after discovering this gaping, unforgivable security travesty). I also remember having issues with some of the downloads not working correctly.

All in all, I'm damn near certain someone has this site on full autopilot and never fixes, updates, or even maintains anything. The plain text password nonsense should be enough right there to disqualify its usage, even if you are only using the free service(s) and never provide your payment details, and even if you use a unique password. If you were actually thinking of providing payment details, it's a clear and total no-go.

Gun is new to me. You have a good way of handling distributed consistency. It's intriguing that the system still can reach consistency even if every node loses network connectivity temporarily. Is there any academic work behind this?
Yes, this might become an embrace, extend, extinguish like scenario, which is scary.

Google did the same thing with XMPP and Google Talk. They adopted an open standard when it was cool for them. When they gained mass adoption, they switched to Hangouts and the whole Allo mess. And before that they crippled XMPP federation.

While I don't like regulations too much, it might be desirable to penalize these behaviors as they are monopolistic.
Not really. Every user who experiences is going to accrue anger, resentment, distrust for the platform, and they'll treat it accordingly, and when an alternative arises, switch.

IMO Facebook should totally lay off security confirmations, account bans, and all that stuff because it just antagonizes people, unless the user actually does something significantly harmful to other users experience, ie largescale spamming (not just regular sharing), actual fake news propaganda (not just sharing a political story), actually abusing an account (not just using untrue details to protect their own privacy but otherwise using Facebook in an OK way).

Otherwise, yeah, I think everyone's going to jump ship at first opportunity, because they don't get treated that well as users.
Yes, PCBs have high thermal conductivity and low electrical conductivity. Also better thermal stability than hydrocarbons. But unfortunately, quite toxic as well. And they tend to be contaminated with dioxins, which are far more toxic.

Seriously, PCB/dioxin contaminated oil sold for frying? That is insane. But then, people sometimes adulterate sugar with lead acetate :(
Honestly - the more I'm learning about this market - the more I'm thinking we need to launch a line / brand marketed just for men. The more you know!

No, it is true. There are many, many satellite internet (VSAT) network operators. These are companies that lease bandwidth from the satellite owners and operate a network within the confines of the lease. The concept that is being discussed is landing rights, where a satellite operator is not allowed to import or sell their products in a country. There is also a matter of coordination, which means that countries with satellite systems that are higher up in the first-come-first-serve international regulatory list can object to those that come after them.

From a regulatory perspective, SpaceX is not not doing anything that Iridium, GlobalStar, Inmarsat, Intelsat, SES, etc...have not already dealt with.
It's not, though. You have the R&D costs of the ASIC, which you don't have to sell to the public, or can run them on your own schedule before releasing them for sale.

Expanding on this: because the neutral current is close to zero, the conductor for the neutral current has looser requirements on its impedance. With perfectly balanced phases the neutral conductor can be eliminated, saving money and material. In practise, the Earth itself gets used as the neutral conductor. This is why one sees three wires in transmission lines and not four.

Incidentally, the closely spaced multiple wires within each conductor of an electrical transmission line, typically held apart by spacers, act to reduce the inductance of the transmission line, which reduces losses. The little "dumbbells" which are on each side of each tower, are vibration dampers to reduce metal fatigue.
This is about treating someone who advocates genocide as if they were merely holding an opinion rather than promoting a prescription for murderous mass action.

I don't think this is about someone befriending someone else who merely has a different, detestable point of view. This is palpably worse.

This is about befriending someone who advocates for withholding the right to live -- in a sense, for taking away the right of millions to have any point of view. I think that's a big difference.

Or it's like all the other services we have, it evolves from decentralized to centralized: email, search, forums,...The case could be made even for governments. The only limit was technical, now you can control the cabs in all the cities from one place. The future is definitely more and more centralized, just look at the money distribution.

My guess is that we're having our geeky dreams without thinking what's the reality happening around us. It's very comfortable to be utopist when thinking of bitcoin, instead of seeing that it's still the same winner-takes-it-all scheme.

Are sure you don't just hear about lower class white racism more because they're more numerous than older Korean(-Americans)? That seems like mostly a scaling issue to me.

It's sort of like how people say "well, some African Americans are racists too." Well, yeah but 90% of CEOs are white, so if they're racist against you, you're in more trouble on average than if the other 10% discriminate against you.
