I'm not being sarcastic.

Viewed through the lens of someone that lived through PCs requiring programs written in x86 assembly and be the only thing running on the bare metal to achieve anything close to 60FPS for full-screen faux-3D in 320x200 in 256 colors and well.. yes, this is absolutely incredible that a damn web browser can do this stuff in a tab - and it's entirely due to how fast processors (including GPUs) have become.

I'm aware the shader is being throw at the GPU and that's the majority of the complexity, but the GPU is part of the incredible progress consumer hardware has made.

The browser being in the loop just furthers the impressiveness; there's a bunch of other software running on the computer while this is going on in a damn tab.
Great read. The central concepts apply to modern day subculture movements.

Same for spellcheck, learn to spell and just turn it off. I also highly doubt I will ever pay money for a driverless car.
Why should it have cost $5k max? Did you price out the labor/facilities/equipment to do it yourself?

You need to fully read the article before you make a really strong accusation like that.

"I think young D over there is the only born Nazi in the room. Young D is the spoiled only son of a doting mother. He has never been crossed in his life. He spends his time at the game of seeing what he can get away with. He is constantly arrested for speeding and his mother pays the fines."

If you actually read the article in its entirety, it's pretty clear from both her misuse of the words 'born' and 'biological factors' that Dorothy Thompson, unlike Nazis, is refering environmental factors and not genetic ones. Misuse of those words are the only flaws I see in what's otherwise a good article that feels sadly still relevant today.
I know, right?

I read through the whole exchange and kept thinking "How are they managing to be so polite, to these rank amateurs who show no respect?" I probably would have informed them of the flaw, informed them when I was publishing, informed of a suggested fix then piped all the rest to /dev/null.

I also positively love the use of "push it to the limit".

I used to want a balcony until I lived across from a building with balconies. Especially during summer, there's always someone having a loud party until late at night, and it's a different unit every time so harder to enforce noise limits and clean air smoking bans. So the downside of balconies is you have to share noise/airspace with everyone else with a balcony.

Because IOTA is rekt, it has been for some time, and this is just what you should expect from people who try to roll their own cryptography, then get defensive when a notable real cryptographer points out flaws.
One of such example is when they offered us a "Smart Cup" on our Cruise (Royal Caribbeans). It has built-in chip so it know who it belongs to.

So you go to drink fountain, puts your cup in, LCD display nicely says your name (wow) and then you click which drink you wants and the cup fills in, while the display tells you from now on it remembers your favorite drink. Can't be better huh?

Five minutes later I go for a refil: "Sorry but you drank a cup less than 45 minutes ago. Please come back in 39 minutes".

I came back, but to the front desk to get a refund. Instead, I replaced it with more expensive regular cup that you could go to cafeteria and get refils of pretty much anything you want to as often as you wanted to.

Yeah, but I don't think most ordinary people are just looking for excuses to murder people. Somewhere along the way, these "ordinary people" were convinced that innocent men, women, and children were enough of a threat to slaughter them. By the end of the war when they realized that they'd lost, they might look to absolve themselves, but that doesn't explain the mechanism causing that behavior in the beginning.
The market can remain irrational for longer than you can remain solvent.
I remember Fidelity had online bonds buying as well. As Buffett said, today's bonds are fairly expensive, offering little upside. I just think people should also consider the implication for equities.
Yes, of course. But none of that stuff that I'll never test is a belief. It's all provisional. I'm also prone to decline to have an opinion, admitting that I'm not qualified.
The process is non-definitive. A few years after you invest the money, you get a provisional green card and if the 10 permanent jobs are created after 2 years from that point, you get a permanent Green Card. Too many ifs and buts.

I thought EB-1 was more definitive and I felt that I was the right fit for it.

However at this point I am kind of done!
No, I would expect private sector workers to organize over receiving less compensation for more work. The problem isn’t government worker compensation.

Everyone complains that it is bloated and slow, but I think a lot of people run it with too little memory. I always change the default settings to give it 2g of memory and it always runs fast. Some people think that's ridiculous, but given I spend 70% of my time in that environment, I'm more than happy to have it use that much memory.

It's the system which is enabling people to take advantage, and only system can fix it through changes in law!

Plenty of this going on right now in the world of cryptocurrency. And possibly for the same reason: who is to say what coin is good (will succeed) or not?
Agreed. FD: I've 'shorted' IOTA in any way possible, mostly through altcoins which may actually deliver on IOTAs promises. As soon as I heard they were using ternary as some kind of competitive advantage, I lost all faith in them.

Even if you know "how to spell" it is easy to not notice when you've misspelled something. Also, there isn't really such a thing as just "knowing how to spell", it's an open-ended skill. And some people just don't have the mind to remember the precise spelling of every single random word.

I also don't know what driverless cars have to do with this. For one thing, it is possible that you might not have the option in another 25 years in some locations. For another, this actually is an extremely Luddite attitude, given the objectively horrify safety of cars which we've managed to psychologically lock away in modern culture. Not to mention the massive secondary benefits: you get to recover massive amounts of time dedicated to staring at a road, and being sober.

What is a good introductory book to start learning stuff like this?
...and what no one giving us this "progress" ever seems to realise is how often it is slower.

For instance our Whirlpool microwave - touch sensitive digital and achieving 5 or 10 minutes takes much longer and more clicks than our old one (no 5 min button, but the Panasonic's touch keypad didn't much like damp hands). Setting power or grill is especially unfriendly and rarely succeeds at first attempt. First microwave had a rotary control, now the preserve of absolute bottom of range rubbish, time setting always took one touch and under a second.

I find it's affecting my choices of cars though. Touch sensitive "improvement" of anything basic (heater or fan for instance) is a big negative mark for me as chances are I could formerly achieve it without taking eyes from road, but now I need to look, and you don't want everything on the steering wheel!

There is so much speculation and misinformation here. One key idea of relativity is that laws of physics remain the same for all uniformly moving reference frames. Objects approaching and entering the event horizon experience time normally. For large black holes, a probe entering past the event horizon will continue to fall towards the singularity and experience time normally for a long time before being destroyed.

To external observers, of course nothing can be observed as falling through the event horizon because not even light can escape past the event horizon. So no light from beyond the horizon of the probe can ever reach the observers. But that doesn't mean things can't go past the EH normally, or that here is some other magic happening like

> I think that what this means is that you never get to the event horizon, but the horizon comes to you.

A black hole is just another object with a very very powerful gravitational field.
I mean I see what you are saying but in the case of spell check and driverless cars you aren’t replacing the dumb version with the smart version you are augmenting it. If your spell checker fails you can still manually do it without any friction.

I think some people get wayyy to reliant on using spell check though (especially with the right click to replace etc, so they never have to actually learn to spell the word).
I had an August smart lock for a while. I used it primarily while running so I didn’t have to carry keys.

The whole process of unlocking the door was way more painful than a key. I switched back to a regular lock.

Indeed, it's forked off desktop/desktop. And some of the work I've done on Kactus has been merged upstream as well, the image comparison for example.
Yes. You can have both! You can have some Green Cards allocated to the points based and some allocated to the current system.

The current system was designed for situations which existed in the past. It wasn't perfect but served the job then. Times have changed and ground realities have changed - so time to tweak it!

As far as where I have to go - it's my prerogative! If US doesn't work, will find what works best for me!

Don't need your suggestions! Apart from not getting the birthplace lottery - am ahead on everything else!
There certainly is, since that phrase is almost always used figuratively, to mean "that really suits them." You seem to have decided to choose this instance as the one time it absolutely couldn't be figurative. Focusing on one word is poor rhetoric.
I totally get the spirit of what you're saying, but to be fair a good reliable automated light-system would have an analog fail-safe that allows you to operate the lights normally in case of a malfunction of the central system, meaning that you just turn off the central system, and all the lights keep operating as normal lights that are not connected to it.

But also, centralized light systems are not new. Many corporate facilities have been using these for years and they rarely fail.

Maybe the problem is that your father just picked the wrong vendor/system.
This is not Trump. This bullshit with regards to legal immigration at least has been going on for 15-20 years under Democratic and Republican administrations.
This is true, I’m not sure the article is saying that the “dumb” versions aren’t complex to make/manufacture/use. Just that sometimes they are more reliable to use in practice.
I've always preferred tactile/mechanical controls (buttons, knobs, sliders) to the touch screens we have today. And I always trust mechanical systems over fly-by-wire systems. For example, I'm very uncomfortable with things like the Tesla's slide-out door handles, electronic locks in hotel room doors, touch buttons in elevators and GPS navigation systems in aircraft.

Smart tends to mean complex, and complex usually means more things to fail. Some things only need shafts, pulleys and gearwheels -- there is no need to bring a microprocessor into the picture...
Actually, there is not a single mention of genes or "genetic" in that article. What are you referring to?

Your interpretation of the word "born" is bizarre. She is repeatedly describing someone's Nazism to be directly caused by biological breeding and processes (such as feeding, physical training, or Neanderthal brains).
Do you know that India is more than in languages, cuisine, culture and history than whole of Western Europe. Just because they have common passport, doesn't mean that they are any less diverse.

If whole of Europe gets a single EU passport, does it suddenly make them any less diverse?
Sierra was definitely a seal of quality for a time, like Blizzard, Disney or Nintendo-- anything they produced was going to be very well polished and even if it wasn't your thing, you could tell it was a solid product.

Adventure games died for a while, but there are some good ones that have come out since the 90s. The Shivah captured a lot of the humor of the genre but with a distinctly Jewish flavor, and I found The Cat Lady to be far more captivating than Gabriel Knight or Phantasmagoria.
This was as juicy as something can be while remaining a discussion on cryptographic hash functions.
How are arguments like this any different than arguments for Jewish quotas back in the day? What happened to judging people for the content of their character rather than the color of their skin?

Making Indians wait for up to 70 years (a de facto Indian exclusion act) is extremely racist.
When I was applying to job openings after college, the very few times I heard back from them, I was offered pay in the range of $15/hr, 35k, etc. for a junior software developer position. Luckily I eventually got something decent but it really is a problem with the companies. There are way more than enough programmers out there, companies just don't want to pay them/don't want to invest in junior devs anymore, as discussed here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16367997
I think the greatest value is probably in the speaker itself, most of the other features do just feel like fluff. Though personally I prefer a more “dumb” speaker I can control with my phone.
Genocide or politicide. But most people don't make the distinction.

The regimes don't set out to conduct the genocide, that's not their initial purpose. It's a tool that they use. For fascists and Nazis the genocide and politicide is a consequence of their strong in-group/out-group philosophy. The Nazis didn't take over Germany to kill the Jews, they ostracized, murdered, and eventually committed genocide against the Jews in their efforts to take over Germany (and other territories as they expanded).

Communists used genocide less as a tool to direct their people's anger and more as a political tool to control a territory. Ukraine as an example. They didn't convince the Russian people that Ukrainians were an enemy that needed to be wiped out. They (USSR) permitted the famine to be so destructive so as to reduce the Ukrainian efforts for independence, and to make room for Russians to be moved in (or they took advantage of the opportunity to do this last part), further reducing the Ukrainian identity.
>2. If the IOTA project wishes to ensure that trinary logic is involved in the proof of work and signature hashing process we suggest that a trinary function could be composed with a secure hash algorithm in a construction such as:
>Hash(msg) = MD6(msg || TrinaryFunction(msg)).

Haha this is a wonderful suggestion. "If you weirdos think ternary arithmetic has any benefits, just combine it with a crypto primitive you didn't handroll, ya dingus"

And then they say it's okay because of "higher level checks" that a colliding transaction wouldn't validate, so then when one is demonstrated, they say "it's okay because we'd just decide to reject the bad one even if the hash is the same" and the final defense is "something something distributed ledgers Satoshi"
> Hey Ethan, Did you receive the invite? We can also setup a chat with our ex-NSA post-Quantum hash function experts after we get the initial confusion out of the way. Best, David

It is a great example of someone (the "expert") convincing a non-technical person that they are the "ninja rockstar 11x post-quantum hash function expert".

I've seen this many times. Managers / owners don't have ability to assess who is an expert and who isn't. So whoever talks more convincingly is the "ninja rockstar". After that they can do no wrong. Also after that somehow admitting publicly that the person they picked is a scam artist becomes pretty hard, because it also means admitting to their own mistake of believing them.

Others who see what's going on, leave and this this eventually leads to the whole ship sinking.

Oh and accusations of drunkenness of course, those are always so constructive and helpful.
Another perspective: does a global company like Apple or Google want to hire just from the cheapest in the US, or the cheapest in the world?
I only got to page 30 before moving on, but this line is telling:

> In this case you are right, second-preimage resistance is an anti-feature, collision resistance threat is nullified by Coordinator while allows us to easily attack scam-driven copycats. (pg. 24)

The Coordinator referenced is a validation node ran by the IOTA team which currently processes all transactions.

Oops, yeah. That wasn't supposed to be past tense.
It's not Scheme that does the passing, just to be clear, it's the library.

In this case, it's just throwing strings around without changing anything. No passing to transform a bignum, no bounds checking. Just tries to run it. (Racket does have a decent FFI [0], but this library is just for classroom example stuff. Not serious work.)

Extrapolating that out environmentally concerned people should have as many children as possible and outbreed those not concerned about greenhouse emissions?

Such a statement seems to assume that the mind is an immutable object only created in childhood.

While it certainly causes cognitive dissonance for some, an SUV driving redneck carnivore with no children has created far less emissions than a public transport using vegan environmentalist with 2 kids.

To be pedantic: given x and H(x), it is impossible to find x’ such that H(x’) == H(x) in a practical amount of time.

(You need x, and an attack doesn't need to be polynomial to break the hash function; it just needs to be fast enough, considering constant factors, to fit within some plausible attacker's computational resources.)
This is being leaked with the agenda of purporting to show malfeasance from MIT DCI, but if anything shows the opposite, in my opinion.
It's interesting that you assume, incorrectly, that I did not read the article in its entirety.

So the explanation for the true meaning of her article is that she somehow "misused" the words born and biological throughout her arguments? and that what fundamentally causes someone to become a Nazi is their environment?

Whether your interpretation of her arguments is correct or not, I hold that individuals who promote national-socialism (i.e. Nazism) are entirely responsible for choosing evil ideas (not helpless pawns of their childhood feeding, physical training, or as you assert "environmental factors").
SpaceFlight.com can handle the launch. Why do you want a LEO orbit, there might be better orbits for your mission? You'll probably want a radhard processor instead of a Pi Zero. You will also need Batteries, Thermal, Attitude Determination and Control, RF and antennas...minimum budget is probably $1M including launch for a "server in space" mission. There is a lot that goes into making a spacecraft. A good book to pick up is SMAD[0]. Reach out to me if you have the resources, I'd be happy to help.
