It is very costly for existing (!) companies, for startups it comes with fraction of cost, if taken into account from first line of code, from first create table. In few years it will be normal.
Americans expect all major public companies' growth to continue indefinitely because financial advisors have told generations of people that their life's savings is guaranteed to grow on a steady curve forever as long as it's in the stock market, and they leverage their wealth accordingly, because it's the "financially sound" thing to do. This is why any time a major public company can't continue increasing profits, it becomes a national crisis and the government has to step in to save them.

I once remarked to an older family member (Boomer generation) that no investment is ever "guaranteed" to make money, and they corrected me immediately, appalled that I would even say such a thing. "Guaranteed" investments are the common sense of their generation. I invest prudently in funds that grow modestly but stably; of course my investments are going to keep growing. Why wouldn't they?

Very interesting. Got any ideas?
So what about Kotlin? I thought Google supported it as a first class citizen for Android development.
And now that it looks like Kotlin is more popular than React-Native for mobile development, they add Dart2/Flutter.
Well, the article was talking about a US utility. So people might be forgiven for importing that context into your comment.
So, so, so very close. But unfortunately, Dart.

Point the fan at the uncovered part. Mosquitos tend to dislike fan airflow. Also works outdoors. The airflow also triggers your pressure sensors so spontaneous firing isn't an startling issue if the fan breeze hits something other than your head.

Obviously for use in the hot summer; also if you sleep with a fan pointed at you in Korea, you'll catch fan death and die. Cultural myths about fan death is an interesting sleep related topic. With respect to nature vs nurture, different cultures certainly do weird things such as fan death related to sleep but the vast majority cross culturally like blankets; that would imply blankets could be genetic in some weird way not merely cultural.

As a ___ who never owned ____ I would love to see ____ completely banned.

I guess I sometimes feel this way about some things, but then pretty quickly get over it and realize that other people have different utility functions than me, and that I kinda like this whole life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness thing.

I much rather take the approach that externalities be accounted for properly than to ban anything that produces an externality.

So it’s rather much more like; how many trees do you want me to plant to keep my car? Or more probably, enjoy the $2.50/gal I just paid your town in taxes to fill up my gas tank. Instead of, fuck off with your dirty car you’re not welcome here.
The silly thing is they already perfected this technology for porn years ago. If you go to GIS and type in "naked mole rat", as disturbing as the results are, there's no porn.
I am not disagreeing with that. I am simply saying even if 95% of the time you see a small set of options the other 5% get's increasingly bizarre. Start grouping them and the last 0.001% case has just about anything.

So, sure you can specify odds, but again that's very different than saying something is not random and thus predictable.

PS: I tend to focus on black swan events because they tend to be more important. If you focus on the most likely outcome that becomes less important over time. M1 - M10,000 might each be happy paths, but M1 - M10,000 is is extremely unlikely to have all of them be happy paths.
There's a difference between what people want and the whole of "reality"; in a real universe, growth will never be limitless, no matter how much people want it to be.
I recall hearing about weighted blankets used as a way to help kids with sleeping issues.

Quote from the article:

As one more example of the goodness of blankets, there has also been a decent amount of research about the calming effect of weighted blankets, which can weigh up to 30 pounds. Studies indicate that they can curb anxiety and even be used in the treatment of autism.

This triggered my memory. I heard it helped kids with Aspargers and ADHD too.
That ignores sentimental value, though. I wouldn't want to be taxed a huge amount for my father's watch.. but neither would I be interested in selling it for less than a huge amount. It's certainly not worth that huge amount to anyone but my family.
So you are suggesting we just accept enslavement? Can you explain to me how that isn't stockholm syndrome? I'm sorry but even if the odds are zero, I among many others would rather go down fighting to protect our liberties. These are rights given to us by our creator, not government.

We should not need to rely on the morals of the military.
A lot of what you might call 'avoiding recklessness' is demonstrably bad for some people so it's not clear that the current tradeoffs are optimal. And it's not at all obvious that, overall, regulation does much more than protect incumbents in a given field or industry at the expense of everyone else.

Based on my own experience, I've 'known' about regulations that governed the industries with which I've worked. I'm not sure what evidence specifically you or the author have that leads you to believe software developers should be embarrassed.
"I'll believe it when I see it" is a very hard mindset to overcome.

> What we did not know was how to authenticate a site's public key. Today, we'd use certificate issued by a certificate authority.

He's correct, of course, that we'd use a CA, but I don't know if we ought to. Why should I trust dozens or hundreds of companies worldwide to certify that I'm talking to my local university?

> The next thing we considered was neighbor authentication: each site could, at least in principle, know and authenticate its neighbors, due to the way the flooding algorithm worked. That idea didn't work, either. For one thing, it was trivial to impersonate a site that appeared to be further away.

I'm actually much more confident that neighbour authentication could have worked: each message could have been signed by the originating user, by his site, and by each site in the path it took to reach its destination. Keys could have been exchanged when setting up links between sites.

This wouldn't have been able to fix the Sybil problem (e.g. my local university's news admin would have been able to create as many fake sites claiming to be on the other side of the university from me), but it would have enabled admins to trace the source of bad messages, and potentially cut off misbehaving sites, in a way that Usenet ultimately didn't really support.

I hate getting cold calls. So I avoid doing it to other people.

Yes that makes me less of a salesman. So be it.

Tangent: In India you can report unsolicited sales calls to a central (government) authority, where you can sign up to get on a "Do Not Disturb" list, and get any sales caller who ignores this fined, and eventually get his number disconnected etc.

The system isn't perfect, and there are some impressive hacks to bypass it, but the situation now is much better than before these regulations existed. Where one used to get multiple spammers a day, now weeks and months can go by before getting one (who I promptly report). My number must be on some shared "cranky idiot who hates cold callers" list, I almost never get these calls now.

A minister was interrupted in parliament while presenting the annual national budget (iirc) by someone who wanted to sell him a credit card(!), which led to this regulation.

And it is a godsend. Cold callers should all burn in hellfire (imo)
I simply can't imagine how one can use the web today w/o this strategy. Frustratingly, I also can't figure out how to instruct my non-technical family and friends on doing this themselves.

Woah, thanks for this. I knew the trick, but I always assumed it was just about sleeping until the caffeine blocked out adenosine so you woke up not-tired. Interesting to see there's a deeper mechanism in play.
Why do people hate Dart?
The sample code is fine for JavaScript, but it begs to be written using pattern matching, like that in Elixir/Erlang. If you have the current state and an event to apply to that state (similar to Redux), you can pattern match on pieces of the current state and the event to apply to that state. Your event handler could look like:

```
def handle(%{state: "open", balance: balance},%Deposit{amount: amount}) do
{:ok, %{state: "open", balance: (balance + amount)}}
end

def handle(%{state: "closed"}, %Deposit{}) do
{:error, "invalid action: account closed"}
end

```

Every state/event pairing is explicitly defined as a variation of the `handle` method. There are countless ways to build a state machine like this, but the basic pattern matching primitive seems to simplify this a lot.

An extension to javascript to support this has been proposed, I'm hopeful that it gets considered seriously: https://github.com/tc39/proposal-pattern-matching
> completely neglected code maintainability

Where did I neglect maintainability as a factor? The only optimization that potentially affects maintainability is manually allocating Mapping-s in the typed array. And there I openly acknowledged that it affects readability and makes the code error prone. All other optimizations are not in any way affecting maintainability.

Even typed array optimization is purely confined in the library internals... On the other hand WASM spills out of the library by requiring users to explicitly destroy SourceMapConsumer.

You will never convince me that laying out UI elements in code is better then building out an object graph in something like xml. UI views are just containers inside containers inside containers, and following complex nesting chains through code declarations is a nightmare.
It feels a bit like that.

Naturally there is lots of interesting work that was done.

I am also interested in more native approaches to mobile development, however it does feel a bit like Dart searching for its killer application.

Energy investor here. This has very little to do with "energy efficiency" and more with the de-industrialisation of the US economy, and a shift to a more service-oriented one. A services-based economy is less energy-hungry, resulting in the decoupling of GDP growth and energy consumption.
This is a problem introduced into only the forked version of Bitcoin, Bitcoin Core/SegWit controlled by the company Blockstream, the original Bitcoin, and now Bitcoin Cash, do not suffer this problem as 0-confirmation transactions were not disabled (as they were in Bitcoin Core-SegWit).

The only real questions here are:

1) why would the Core team disable this type of transaction? The answer is to force fees to increase which would push users onto their "2nd layer" solution products such as "Liquid"(R) or "Lightning"(R) Networks.

2) Why is anyone still using such a worthless cryptocurrency? That I don't know, Bitcoin Cash is Bitcoin now, Ethereum is Bitcoin 2.0 and already we have plenty of block space on literally thousands of other coins with no fees.
The fact that they notified you means it wasn't exactly silent. I saw this notification and turned it off. I wish it hadn't been opt-out and had been an opt-in thing instead.
You should ask the question: Why?

We got rid of Flash, for the most part. But people seem to be in denial of JS being an issue even though it's been used time and time again to bypass security.

Personally, my JS has been disabled since Meltdown/Spectre. There are sites that don't work and some of the big ones that I have more trust in I'll whitelist. But for the most part it stays off.

It scares me that there are people who think any type of resistance against the government would be hopeless, and would prefer to disarm the public for a false sense of security.

One thing I don't get is that those who are anti-gun don't seem to have much faith in the government to begin with, what makes them think that they won't continue to take away rights as soon as the public is disarmed, given that it has happened time and time again all over the world.
>If you stay silent, supporters of the status quo can simply say “see? people are happy with it; if they weren’t more would complain”.

And their fallacious reasoning should be laughed at. Loudly and often.

The alternate is even MORE conductive to enforcing the status quo. When people have to be maximally political all the time, they either have to constantly deal with the blowback inherent to sharing ideas that aren't palatable to the status quo, or outwardly agree with the status quo (for convenience and/or safety).

If everyone voices an opinion (but not necessarily THEIR opinion), supporter of the status quo can simply say "see? people are happy with it; if they weren't more people would be dissenting"
NNTP clients didn't just have threading, but also lots of other advanced features (like kill files; client-side tagging, scoring, and filtering; advanced search, etc) that even now, 20 or 30 years later, web forums still lack.

I also dread the day when some popular web forums finally kick the bucket. It's not at all clear that the years or decades of posts on them will still be accessible. With Usenet, everyone could easily keep their own archive of all the messages or groups they were interested in, if they cared to. Trying to do the same for web forums is much more of a pain.

> ...they list "Minimize the amount of collected data" as as an item (supposedly to be achieved to be in compliance with the law).

> What's the minimum amount of data? Who decides that? Is it dependent on context? I'd hope so!

The GDPR says when you collect data, you have to tell the user what you intend to use it for. "Minimization" applies within the context of those stated uses. So if your business purpose is to mail something to the customer, full physical address is OK to collect. If your business purpose is to help them find a nearby store location, you may be expected to collect something less granular like ZIP code or metro area, depending on how many locations you have.

As a corollary, if you can't link a piece of data to a business use, you shouldn't be collecting it. This was a good idea before, but GDPR makes it more relevant.

Note that this is similar to the ethical guidelines for medical research. "Harm Minimization" is a central pillar of ethical research. Harm, and risk of harm, is acceptable, but there is an affirmative duty to seek the least-harmful means of achieving your goal from those available.

> That's a really unsettling description of a law.

That's how HIPAA works, actually. I have a professor who argues this model of legislation is more effective than traditional sector-specific regulation, because it puts the onus of subject-matter expertise onto the people who are actually subject-matter experts, and because it allows for creative and adaptive solutions.
can i use custom css element's defined in some other library in another css?

i have a separate css style.css which would be

}
basically i don't want to spray div/classes everywhere while i am experimenting with which css lib to choose, is there any elegant way to do this?

I've been thinking about this idea for a while and love the reimplementation idea. I really want to start live-streaming myself coding (or pair programming) and have been trying to come up with some ideas that would end up being interesting to watch.

One idea was taking a popular open source tool with a good test suite and trying to get the tests to pass, but I think checking code out at a point before a new feature is implemented and reimplementing it could end up being really interesting. Could even make it more interactive by sharing the checkout point so viewers can do an implementation themselves and doing a stream walking through different interesting implementations.

Conversely, I prefer the lightest-weight covering possible, but I inexplicably still need something to cover me. In the summer time, I like a lightweight sheet, and will stick with that deep into the fall.

Even if temperatures do drop overnight, I like that the sheet somewhat contains my own body heat and is relatively warm inside the sheet.

Of course, in the winter time I'll upgrade to a blanket, but I try to stick to the lightest possible one.

I agree with your comment, but it still is dangling carrots. Some soft, some hard.
I`m a hot sleeper as well, but you'll find that ambient temperature has a profound impact. I actually sleep more soundly with a sheet + (very) light comforter at about 17 degrees celsius or lower, having read that cool temperatures such as those are best conducive to quality sleep.. this is only true with adequate bedding, though that detail is often omitted.

In the summer, without AC, I can only sleep with a single sheet barely covering me. But the quality of sleep is noticeably lacking unless I'm particularly lucky. This is because, in environments that aren't super-well climatized like modern high-rise condos, temperature may swing and fluctuate a lot, so reaching thermoneutrality (the correct amount of covering on you) can be difficult, particularly with just a sheet in my experience.

Shouldn't the size of the alphanumeric alphabet used for the passwords be in there somewhere? The question was about how many permutations of all 6-16 character alphanumeric strings map to a given 5 digit SHA-1 prefix.

Your answer seems to be for the case where the alphabet of the input string is hex digits.

I.e., I think we want Sum[A^i,{i,6,16}]/16^5, where A is the size of the alphanumeric alphabet.

For A=62, this is 4.6x10^22 or 2^75.3.

For A=95, this is 4.2x10^25 or 2^85.1.
