What actually happened is that he put nets near the whales, and then left one of them entangled in the cut off nets (so, probably killed this member of an endangered species due to his recklessness).

I've found that libertarian blogs which have these stories about oppressive regulation are invariably - 100% - lying. I've never found a true story about oppressive regulation. The reality is, no one is sitting around rubbing their hands together and thinking about all the ways to oppress the public for no reason.
It is also a sunk cost. Dropbox has already paid for your hard disk space - they run their own data centers. Okay, there is an opportunity cost, but unless Dropbox is running really close to capacity in its data centers, it is quite a small one.
That's a good question. I think it has to do with a lot of food that are not calorie dense and more likely to satiate you simply taste better fresh and not so great past a certain age. On the flip side, foods that tends to taste good for a long time also tend to be calorie dense and some studies suggest aren't likely to trigger the signals for satiation.
rclone works really well, and even supports Team Drives.
rooted DAG != tree, so please don't introduce people to a concept by explicitly misleading them.

All nodes in a tree must have exactly 1 parent, except for the root that has exactly 0 parents. All nodes in a (single-)rooted DAG must have at least one parent, except for the root that has exactly 0 parents.
Is this significantly different from the Seadrift HOA gates blocking off access to the Stinson Beach peninsula? Is that case exempt because it's still technically walkable between mean high and low tides?
This is probably due to our preprocessing of Wikipedia that did not get rid of all the '}' from the markup.
Well because the selection pool of women tend to be much smaller than men, you either have to work harder to recruit and retain female talent or quality will suffer.

Howeve when many firms go the extra mile to obtain the top tier female talent from a small pool, we'll be back to the problem that it becomes impossibly hard to atttact the right talent from the female pool.

Unless the pool fundamentally changes, this probably will result in a futile exercise. People of course hope that the pool will expand as a result of more aggressive hiring, but if this doesn't materialize, either we were unlucky and the right stars didn't line up, or James Damore was right, there are gender differences at work here.
The Administrative Procedure Act of 1946 is the law. Period. It is a core foundation for the modern regulatory framework in the United States, including how fast regulations can be changed and the procedures that need to be followed, regardless of the agency's Congressional mandate.

The reason judges are using the law to overturn executive actions so much more than before is because no previous administration has been so arbitrary and capricious in their actions.
This headline is bordering on inaccurate. As described by the original Washington Post article:

> The Boring Company team has received an early, and vague, building permit from the D.C. government that will allow some preparatory and excavation work at the fenced-off parking lot at 53 New York Avenue NE beside a McDonald’s and amid the construction cranes of Washington’s booming NoMa neighborhood.

Dropbox is the most efficient one. They only upload what's been changed. Skydrive/Google Drive upload the entire file. (At least they did 4 years ago when I tried them out.)
the observers at polling places are not highly ranked party members making deals in smoky rooms. they're almost certainly residents of the tiny area being polled, or the polity conducting the count.

It surely depends on how much users pay for the service, and how high the non-software costs are.

But in any case, the examples given are B2C free to use products which are generally going to provide... not a ton of revenue per user.
To be fair, this is more relying on a pun than it is convention.

I don't think this changes your point, though.

Quick question: if a user is under camera based surveillance and they type in their PIN, does that allow someone holding their data to decrypt it?

Because apparently China is putting cameras everywhere, and it stands to reason they could have a module that monitors for PIN entry and records it. Even at my workplace in the US I try to avoid entering my PIN near security cameras.
Personally, I use Yubikey or TOTP (with RedHat’s FreeOTP) for everything.

But that can only work if most services you’re using are using SSO, and you rarely need to reauth. I need to reauth every time I log in, every time I want to authorize a new service, or modify server, DNS or storage settings.

This only works well because I’m self-hosting 90% of the services I use, and they use a Keycloak as identity provider, and then don’t have to handle identity themselves.

This is why I’d prefer to see more identity federation – ideally the tokens the services see are short-lived, but the user doesn’t have to re-login every time either.
Or because the password itself is leaked somehow (eg a DB of passwords that was stored incorrectly getting hacked, which happens with some degree of regularity). I use a "long and strong" password to lock a password manager, which itself generates long and strong unique passwords for each login (I use 1pw here, which is nice because it can also handle 2FA/rolling codes). I haven't yet found a better way of handling that at scale that isn't "write down your passwords on a piece of paper in clear-text".

For most people, the point of config management tooling is to turn all their manual, bus-factor-of-one crufty legacy processes into automated, documented, centralized crufty legacy processes.

Ops people don't want a system that is opinionated or that pushes back to force them to change their process. They want a Turing-complete system, and maybe macros as well, so that they can quickly encode their hairy manual process into a hairy automated process, and get back to all the other firefighting they have to do as ops people.
There's no such thing as post-scarcity. Scarcity is imposed by physics, not a lack of technology.

What changes is our expectations, beyond basic survival. Most people living below the federal poverty line have one or more televisions with active cable, a smartphone, and air conditioning; nearly all of them, in the high 99.x percents, have refrigerators, which implies that nearly all of them are housed as well, and effectively none go without food and sufficient warmth to sleep by circumstance.

In the sense of survival, the United States is effectively post-scarcity. What you're talking about is more "post-ambition".

Scarce is the opposite of proximate, not the opposite of plentiful.

As an engineer, it saddens me to see the huge inefficiencies inherent to cryptocurrency mining these days. Surely, when we're spending in the billions on wasteful hashing, we could dedicate a small fraction of that to engineering better consensus algorithms.

Unfortunately, we have an ecosystem where everyone is incentivized to ignore the problem because they're too invested in maintaining the price of Bitcoin and other PoW cryptocurrencies. They often don't pay for the externalities — environmental costs. The specialization of mining also severely hurts the distributed and decentralized nature of these crypto-currencies.

I'm a huge fan of crypto-networks, and have made a career in the space. But, I want Bitcoin to die off and leave room for newer generation technology.
Oh true. I tried to clean up Wiki markup for ML years ago and it was a huge pain. Next time I think I'll parse the HTML version and pull out the text from the tags explicitly.
I doubt you vocalize your goal of driving competitors out of business when lobbying for some new regulation.

A few years back (2015?) pg was on a panel and asked if YC made any mistakes on the application process. He acknowledged they did — Robert Morris gave a low score and wrote “spam” in the comments section of the application of a particular company that started looking successful, so they refined their process. It seemed clear he was talking about SendGrid which went through TechStars and went public in late 2017.

I recently was able to recovery a floppy that had almost 100 programs I wrote in QBasic when I was a kid. There was something magical being able to command a computer so easily that's hard to appreciate today. Often the simple magic of programming is cluttered with so much independant tooling that lack a simple cohesive experience, although there are benefits to use small small tools over one monolithic toolchain of course. Just yesterday I spent an hour trying to hunt down a JavaScript webpack build issue that has nothing to do with the actual code. It's a fact of life now, but there's a part of me that misses the one-in-one integrated experience. However, I don't miss Basic as a language... so very limiting and often forces you to not follow DRY principles.

There is actually a good reason: it's precisely because they bring in no semantic baggage. Although conses are usually used to build list structure, they don't have to be used that way; you can make binary trees or even arbitrary graphs with cycles out of them (creating directed cycles requires side effects, of course). The accessors 'first' and 'rest' are appropriate only for conses used as list structure. Even 'left' and 'right', which are less semantically loaded than 'first' and 'rest', wouldn't be appropriate in all cases.

So, what would be a better name than 'cons'? 'List' is not right; the empty list is not a cons. Scheme uses 'pair', which is admittedly not too bad, but I think it would be more appropriate for an immutable pair than a mutable two-element struct. (I actually think there should be two types, immutable pairs and mutable conses. In such a Lisp, conses would probably be fairly rarely used, and much more of a historical relic.)

And to echo what outworlder says, it really just isn't that big a deal. Yes, Common Lisp has some historical baggage, and a lot of things we would change if were designing our own Lisp from scratch — I assure you every Lisper has their own list. But CL rationalization projects, of which there have been several over the years (and, no doubt, more that I'm not aware of), don't catch on. The reason is clear: the CL community is already "small yet remarkably fragmented" as I recall someone putting it (Eric Raymond?); a rationalized CL would just fork off another sub-community, if it caught on at all.

Multivitamin if you think you may be malnourished. Don't skip breakfast.

For breakfast, look for protein & fat. (Bacon & eggs). With butter. A small amount of carbs is okay, but watch the toast (grains) & jam (refined sugar). Tea/Coffee with cream, if you like. The protein and fat will help with satiety and avoid a big carb/sugar insulun spike.

I wouldn't bother with genetic testing or obscure supplements until you feel like you have the basics covered, and have found a lean, stable body weight.

This is a one-sided comment. There’s a lot of research going into different variations of proof-of-stake. 4 out of 10 largest crypto (by market cap) are PoS. There’s a lot of work Ethereum community (Casper), Cardano folks, Tendermint etc are doing to create better consensus models.

There seems to be some interest in learning what word vectors are, so I'll give a basic overview here, then tie it into the research.

"One of the challenges for Natural Language Processing (NLP) systems is the question of how to represent input such that the network runs quickly, but also learns well. It's possible to represent each word as a one hot vector, but that's computationally slow. It's also possible to represent each word as some number, but then lots of words look very similar.

Instead, why not use a mix? Introducing word embeddings. We'll represent each word as a n-dimensional vector, with each dimension representing a trait about the word. For example, "fruit" might be represented as {food: 0.99, gender: -0.05, size: 0.2}, and "king" might be represented as {food: -0.9, gender: 0.92, size: 0.56}." [Quoted from MuffinTech.org] [See v1n337 for caveats. [0]]

Two similar words should have similar word vectors, like "apple" and "peach". If we learn some fact about apples, like "Humans eat apples.", then we can easily generalize that to peaches, pineapples, etc...

Let's tie this back to the research. Since we have word vectors for many languages now, that makes it easier for us to build NLP systems in other languages. For example, if we wanted to build an English->French translator.

I'll stop passing people in the right lane when they stop cruising at 5 below the speed limit (or more frequently: fluctuating their speed from +10 to -10 of the limit randomly) in the passing lane.

If you are going the same speed as the person to your right, you are in the wrong lane.

People just have no clue. The number of times I've seen some overloaded U-Haul lumber over to the left lane and just sit there as it struggles to get up hills is supremely aggravating.

I don't like passing on the right and will avoid it when I can, but I also don't like being in a traffic clump and will always look for ways to escape it or avoid getting trapped in it. If I have to pass you on the right to avoid getting pincered by the clump of traffic coming up behind me, I will.

Do you not understand the idea behind the basic exchange of value that all of our economic systems are based on? Firefox has a lot of users (because it's free and a good product, duh), so Google pays Mozilla a lot of money to be the default search engine upon first download - something that literally anyone and their grandmother can immediately change to their preference.

Oh and Mozilla had a contract with Google before they switched to Yahoo so how about taking your conspiratorial nonsense to r/T_D where it belongs.

The answer to this used to be no, but iOS 11 made a number of changes that I don't fully understand yet; I think the answer is still no unless you have the device then you may be able to get an iCloud reset token.. but don't take my word for it. (at that point they already have your device though eh?)

As a side note I think people vastly underestimate how easy it is to capture you typing your password on a phone screen.. especially when you put it in the context of complaining about minor security implications of TouchID or FaceID. I would suggest it's typically much easier to watch you typing a password than to clone your TouchID .

This is a fair statement. What I (and I believe most others) mean by declarative programming is more specifically logic-and-constraint programming, but in many ways you could view Haskell's type system, typeclasses, and laziness in combination as being more declarative than, say, a purely functional subset of Scheme. To the grandparent post I originally responded to - If you wanted to take a look at a more purely declarative language, see miniKanren
https://docs.racket-lang.org/minikanren/index.html
There exists an extension with constraints as well, cKanren
http://scheme2011.ucombinator.org/slides/Alvis2011.pdf

To try to summarize, a declarative language is one in which you tell the computer what you want, but not so much how it is done. Logic Variables (Unification) are the key differentiators of these systems.

Take a look at chapter one of CTM for a really nice breakdown of the different orthogonal components to a language. I have a feeling differentiable programming and (dependent+) types belong on that list, too.

As an additional question of my own for anyone reading - is there anything that should be on that list thanks to modern CS research, that isn't?

Of course, you don't need types to write programs. Types are just a way to mechanically verify some desirable properties. But, as it turns out, resource management in large programs is pretty damned hard to get right without this kind of mechanical assistance. So, of course, when I say “it's inexpressible without <type system feature>”, what I mean is “it's impossible to mechanically verify it without <type system feature>”.

Any recommendations for a good paper day planner / notebook?

Hobonichi Techos - too maximalist imho
Writepads - Pocket Ledger excellent for short term plans/notes

Daiso / Muji - sprial grids here are great, and very inexpensive

Personally, I've found grids and dot grids with a spiral bound and/or removable perforated pages tend to reduce clutter and provide the most utility for creating a custom day planner.

I'm also experimenting with scheduling apps, and open to any recommendations.
