I'm sure GRU possesses the technical chops to put in place safeguards to guarantee against ever connecting other than through the VPN. They should do that and then hire Kaspersky to come over and audit their setup.

I'm not sure the "self-driving car industry" can survive these possible (inevitable?) future scenarios:

• Self-driving car kills child

• Hackers send self-driving car on wild ride

• Empty self-driving semi found in warehouse lot, GPS pirates make off with entire cargo

Unless you build solar panels on top of a very low albedo ground, the amount of heat actually increases because less is reflected back to space.
Why? It's a stupid hoop we make people jump through to get a job here (well, not a requirement, but it smooths the path. Both for the visa and for being located in the states to interview.) I've interviewed (and hired!) a ton of such folks and don't think most of them got much out of the MS programs they went to. FWIW we would almost certainly have been happy to hire them anyway.
This is assuming that the learning actually happens.
You're misunderstanding the point.

The world is ambient. Your device is not. You are trying to extract water from the world so your device needs to be lower than ambient.

> So when I take a shower and then and then see water condensing on the inside of my single pane bathroom window on a cold night, it means there's got to be a hidden Peltier cooler in there somewhere? Or in a more exact comparison, if I have an outdoor greenhouse on a cold but sunny day, and I see water condensing on the inside of the glazing, there's got to be a refrigerator making it happen? No, there just needs to be a temperature differential, and the heat sink acts like a cold window.

The hot, moist air from your shower should be considered ambient. Your window is colder than that ambient temperature. Hence the water condenses.

Let me explain further because this is clearly a sticking point.

The air your shower is generating is roughly 40C at 100% humidity. You don't have to put in any work to condense this water on the window because you already put work in to heat it.

"Ah ha!" you say. "They're heating the water vapor up inside the container! Just like my shower!" Except no the two are not equivalent. Heating up 25C air at 100% humidity to 40C would decrease its humidity. I.e. no condensation. Cooling 40C air at 100% humidity to 25C would result in condensation (your shower)! It is a one way process. The source of the water vapor MUST be hotter than the condenser! When your source is the atmosphere that means your condenser has to have a lower temperature than the exterior conditions.

> Except it's "yes" if you define "ambient temperature" as the temperature inside the shed on a sunny day

The temperature is higher in the shed but the humidity is lower! Lowering the temperature of the shed to the outside temperature will not produce condensation!

Edit: Sidenote. Greenhouses generate their own water vapor (transpiration). Their absolute humidity will be higher than the outside.

Edit2: I also want to emphasize that if you're adding water to the system you're doing it wrong. We're trying to harvest water not supply it. Showers and greenhouses are not apt comparisons.
It's true that not everyone can do it, but it's also true that most professional people who say this are just mentally stuck in an expensive lifestyle, and/or unwilling go somewhere cheaper.

Apple made the source for SK8 available, and someone has posted it on GitHub:

LG washer/dryer (Korea). Wolf kitchen (German), German cars (soon to be American, Tesla). All Apple everything else (designed in US). TVs are Vizio (American HQ). AG jeans (American) but I have my suites made in Singapore.

I think the reality is more of a mix.

I would never buy an American car (traditional) because they do not appeal to me.

BTW Toyota Civic for example is 75% US domestic parts made in the USA.

https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/cars/2016/06/29/survey-...

All of this is way more complex.

The reality is that for an American company trying to do business in China the playing field is far from level, and that’s the major issue. Remove the IP transfer requirement and the 50% joint venture requirements and make the rules equal then we can see who will win (hint, the American company).

Fair access to thier market is the requirement. No one really believes that good old 1950s factory jobs are going to return to the USA. Heck, they are leaving China now!

IIUC one idea here is to apply the concept of 'reliable function' into the object oriented world:

> For example, this would allow “real objects” to be world-lines of their stable states and they could get to their next stable state in a completely functional manner.

So [object_in_state_A + message_Y] => [object_in_state_B] is some change in an object as a result of receiving a message. This 'transformation' is functional i.e. always produces the same result, given the same input state and message (similar to the pure function concept in FP). Also, the transformation 'rules' only see exactly state_A and not some invalid in-between state. This allows reasoning about these transformations clearly. The object is a history of object states: [object_in_state_A -> object_in_state_B -> object_in_state_C] etc. Note only the 'stable' i.e. valid states are exposed by the object (they're unavailable during transformation) so any view is consistent.

Now to compose many such objects into larger system that is also consistent, see the Virtual Time idea (David Jefferson) or the earlier Pseudo Time idea (David Reed). An overview of Virtual Time is here: https://blog.acolyer.org/2015/08/20/virtual-time/.

The rough idea is that all messages are stamped with a virtual timestamp - so any receiver can determine the exact order in which to apply the incoming messages. The whole system moves forward in virtual time, correcting for any out-of-order delivery - the real time of each message isn't important anymore.
He clearly wanted the West to know who was behind the nerve gas poisonings, just as he wanted US investigators to know that Russia was behind the DNC hacks. Come on, an agent forgets to turn on his VPN, nice one. Russian soldiers without insignia in Crimea - they clearly did not get their gear from the army surplus store. "Russia is not just relevant, but a big player and a worthy opponent" - this is the message being sent.
Because it works better.

I tried Wire first, I really wanted to like it. It lost messages. It got it's crypto state horribly confused and couldn't read messages from one of my contacts. It maxes out at some annoyingly low number of "devices" - which includes things like different browsers, different OSes, private browsing windows opened on someone elses computer, etc. And it generally felt like a poorly built UI.
The bad part to me about jobs like that was how you were just spending massive hours doing stupid things. A lot of people would enjoy working 10 hours a day in a highly engaging, challenging environment. Instead everyone is so shot from overworking, stress, poor interpersonal relationships, etc. that it sometimes feels like you're working all day on a project nobody needs that doesn't work led by a manager who doesn't know what he's doing and doesn't care to. Basically like you're getting paid to get punched in the face rather than to do a job.

I honestly had managers at the Kmart retail store I worked at who struck me as smarter (and certainly more humble) than at least one software manager I've had

Stuff like this has me scratching my head.

Here's my situation:

I have a PhD, but in a different, non-CS field.

Due to my research and experience, I have a ton of stats and programming experience across a range of languages, from lisp to C++ to javascript to python, to name just a few. I have published stats papers for example.

However, I kinda find when I'm looking at jobs, there's a heavy focus on CS grads, or people with finance-type degrees, or engineering degrees, or some combination. And to be honest, there are certain things out of a BS in CS that I probably am not that familiar with, especially low-level hardware type stuff, and network stuff.

So, I look at what's out there, and getting a BS in CS seems a little odd, for various reasons, in part because I feel like there's a lot of redundancy with what I have from my career and education already.

A MS in CS, on the other hand, is kinda not so strange to me. I might have to take a couple of preparatory courses, like in OSs, but doesn't seem too grueling to me.

So I read a thing like this, and it comes across as similar to the sort of gatekeeping that I bump into, like if you have a PhD in another field and then get an MS in CS, you aren't a "real" CS grad or something. I've supervised honors CS undergrads, and believe me, I feel pretty confident that my skillset is beyond many of theirs, at least in certain areas. At some point it just seems absurd to me.

I share some of the implicit concerns about cash cow MSs, that seem to be part of the current employment climate, not unique to CS, but a symptom of problems with hiring practices and also contributing to it. But it also seems misguided to me to start arguing that someone who completes a MS in CS isn't as skilled as someone with a BS.

There's just so much gatekeeping and pissing contest stuff that goes on in STEM, and it drives me crazy sometimes. It is maybe possible that that english grad actually understands programming, math, and algorithms at a pretty high level (I'm not an english grad, just making a hypothetical argument).

> The bill amends the federal criminal code to add a new section that imposes penalties—a fine, a prison term of up to 10 years, or both—on a person who, using a facility or means of interstate or foreign commerce, owns, manages, or operates an interactive computer service (or attempts or conspires to do so) to promote or facilitate the prostitution of another person.

How do you define promoting or facilitating prostitution? Eg. Does WhatsApp fall foul of this? Email? Basically any communication service can be used for this...
My ass, mostly. I'm extrapolating based on monitor framerates and how accurately we can see the velocity of fast-moving objects, and that I can spot a timing difference of ~5ms reliably.

Human eyes are almost comparable in terms of a framerate based on the neuron spiking rates, which are somewhere over 250-500Hz max. Obviously that's not directly comparable though, but it gives an idea of how well we can deal with moving objects.

Panasonic owns a small part. There's over 300 Tesla employees at the factory vs ~50 Panasonic, and Tesla owns the building and the land. Panasonic leases part of the building and owns some of the equipment.

If BMW is buying from the manufacturer, there's a high chance Tesla will be one of them.

I am fucking sick and fucking tired of people interfering with the free choice of individuals in any effort to "fix" society and "help" people.

Lawmakers and advocates, have some epistemic humility and acknowledge that your own perspective may be mistaken. Not everything is oppression. Not every activity is injustice. Sometimes, people just fucking disagree.
JavaScript Promises: an Introduction
To some degree, yes, peasants worked less than modern humans, but also had to extend large amounts of effort to prepare food, attain wood for fires and light, build their own structures, etc. I slightly romanticize medieval life so I won't convince you that their lives were hellish and awful, but we take for granted the amount of work our society does for us.

Also, the idea of the high-leisure hunter gatherer is false. This is ideology masquerading as archaeology/history, and it confirms the biases of people who have genuine criticisms of modern life. http://quillette.com/2017/12/16/romanticizing-hunter-gathere...
All platforms already restrict content they allow users to post, including CL. People still seem to express themselves freely despite those restrictions.

That CL would make a vindictive stand in defense of sex trafficking specifically is just bizarre.
> Prostitution is a very recent industry and was invented by the internet

This statement ranks fairly high up on my "List of Hackernews' Statements that are indeed Very False".

It would be more apt to say that regulating and banning prostitution is a recent idea (recent as in "the last 100 years or so").
I use it for Tinder and Bumble.
> Just ask a disabled child's parents whether the planned activity will work for their son or daughter. If an adjustment is needed we can figure it out together.

I think the possibility of you trying to adjust other people's plans is why your child doesn't get invited.

That doesn't make it fair, but I suspect there's some amount of truth to it.
The goal of the legislation in question is specifically to help individuals that have been coerced, against their free will, into sex trafficking.

It is not about voluntary interactions between consenting adults.

The legislation might be misguided or ineffective--I haven't really looked into it--but it very definitely isn't about restricting the free choice of individuals.
The modern English sense of “censor”, IIRC, isn't directly derived from the as actions of the Roman official, but more from those of the Catholic ecclesiastical official of the same name (sometimes more fully “censor librorum”) who reviews books intended for publication and provides (or withholds) the nihil obstat certifying it free of anything harmful to good faith and morals, which is generally a prerequisite to the episcopal imprimatur allowing it to be published, a function which is very much in line with the modern English understanding of censorship.
The oddest thing about this culture is how people perceive "honesty" as equivalent of brutal. Honest praise exists too. Honesty means also saying things like "that was actually Andy idea". Honest criticism is almost never dunking on somebody till you tear them down. Honest criticism is nuanced and labels minor or honest mistake as minor or honest.

Honesty is not bullying and if someone's idea of honesty is that, then that someone is likely a dick.

Honesty is not about unleashing ones negative emotions on other people, but geek culture tend to equate the two and then proceed from there.

Companies large and small can suffer from this problem of what appears to be mundane, useless work. It’s worth mentioning that instead of striving for 50,000 person companies, we might be better off with much smaller companies, two pizza team companies or smaller.
Yes, you should charge way more for your off hours for sure, or else you'll never ensure the number of hours is sensible.

When we first started we charged way too little, and they had us doing simple jobs because our cost was lower than an employee. Charge them enough that it's worth it for them to have their own employee to do the easy stuff, especially if you already have a full time job. There's not that much risk of not finding work since there's a built in backup.

I found this part helpful, but also poignant:

Focusing on the commonplace is a good idea if you're worried about saying the wrong thing. Remarking on the daily practicalities of Esprit's life won't make us blink, but we'd rather you didn't bring up the long haul, even with compliments like, "God only chooses special parents to have someone like Esprit," or commiserations like, "Sometimes, it all just seems so unfair."

I get it. Esprit can bring to mind big-picture questions about blind fortune or the mystery of God's plan — something seemingly terrible has been visited upon an innocent child. But those are the thoughts you shouldn't share with us. For parents of a severely disabled child, the big picture is dominated by a future cataclysm. For my wife and me, it's that, although Esprit has lived nearly 15 years, we will likely survive her. For other parents, it's that their child will likely survive them. We would rather consider the big picture at times of our own choosing.
Also "just ask" is quite an oversimplification. I'd have no idea how to even talk about it.
Most of the time if you think something is that simple, you're leaving something out.

It's a myth that the private sector is inherently more efficient than public sector. You only need to compare healthcare systems across developed countries to find an enormous counterexample.

Government has a different system of accountability than private industry, sometimes it's less efficient, but sometimes it's more efficient. It depends--there's nothing simple about it.
Did I post something incorrect? Do you want to explain who maintains the current and past list of external IP addresses belonging to Russian Intel?
This could be easily achieved. QT does not require you to change the way you code, you can design a UI in QT designer, add the buttons, callbacks etc. . Then export it as a uic file. Then use a converter of that uic file to your programming language of choice, import it, fill the callbacks and be done with it.

It's 90% automated and visual.

I'd recommend coding a basic text-only (just print statements) interface first, then bind it to the QT GUI.

If you'd like a more modern looking UI, also check out QML.

Have fun :)
As someone in a similar situation, I really need to vent.

Many people look at a situation like this and don't consider the work that goes into maintaining an extremely disabled individual. Combined mental and physical disabilities for an adolescent are a full time job. In some cases(mine) you cannot leave your child alone. Ever. Someone always needs to be at home when they're at home. Or out with them when they are invited out. Its suffocating. When you want to go out, its the pain of arranging a baby sitter but instead of a teenager its a professional who needs 2 weeks advance notice.

Like this article says: for fucks sake, do invite them out. Do try to engage them in mental-age appropriate activities. That's the entire reason people sacrifice their lives for them, to give them the opportunity to be alive. Its terrifically frustrating to never see your son or daughter when you've given 12 years of full time care for them to do so.

Also, the bit on the 'big picture'. Unless you're looking for an unpleasant conversation, don't bring it up. There's two options for the future, they die and you realize your life is gone; or you die and they are never going to receive the same level of care and attention.

(If you can identify me from this post, I'd appreciate if you didn't out me)
You'd have to ask her how she reconciles being a non-marxist communist, transhumanist, and Putin's stooge, but she manages somehow. There were examples posted here of her punishing scientists for speaking up in support of someone Putin had targeted.

As to why... I would hazard a guess that it's because she's neither a good person (far from it, by all indications) nor, really, a particularly bright one.

This an oddly preachy piece trying to tell me exactly how I should behave around _all_ disabled people, which is presumptuous. Not all disabled people are mentally retarded, and many of those who aren't don't like getting stared at by everyone.
I don't know how good your Swedish is... but if you can read it, alternatively can convince one of the on-line translation engines to transpile the article into something almost, but not quite resembling a language of your choice, here's an article from 1971 (!) warning for the privacy consequences of unlimited data collection:

http://www.friatider.se/h-r-varnar-professorn-f-r-vervakning...

The conclusion is as follows:

I princip bör information om individen behandlas som individens egendom, innebärande att han måste tillfrågas innan någon vill utnyttja informationen. Individen bör skyddas mot olovlig användning på samma sätt som mot övergrepp mot personlig egendom. Dataexperterna kanske hävdar att det skulle bli för dyrt att tillfråga alla dem, vilkas data skall användas varje gång detta skall ske, och att det är tekniskt svårt att genomföra. Svårare problem har man lyckats att lösa och kostnaden bärs ändå av "den svage".

In English this would be:

Information about an individual should in principle be treated as that person's private property, meaning that the person should be asked before someone wants to use it. The individual should be protected against unwanted use in the same way as he is protected against unwanted use of other private property. Data experts might state that it would be too expensive to ask all individuals for permission any time the data is to be used, and that this is difficult to implement. More challenging problems have been solved and the costs are born by "the weak" anyway.
