2, because you can sell that at election time. Politicians and courts are not technological experts but they're not necessarily as clueless as technologists like to imagine.

I have followed this particular issue for a good few years now and I can assure that people have been pointing out the negative side effects at length and in detail for a good longtime, but the political math simply doesn't favor the rational argument.

You know how crap political advertising is, so imagine your representative or senator voted against this because it was a poorly crafted piece of legislation. Next election season it'll be 'Senator Doe voted to protect child pornographers and human traffickers! Who does Senator Doe REALLY work for??! WHAAARRRGARBLLLLL!'

Expect more of this. Politics is increasingly not about good policy, it's about emotion and procedural tricks. No matter how well-intentioned, every politician worries about how their voting decisions can be (mis)represented at election time when voters are bombarded with bullshit claims that most have neither the will nor the time to properly evaluate.
No, but all major browsers have a solution for storing passwords.
There's no news here, just political posturing by the Russian government. I'm pretty sure that Russian intelligence would recruit US diplomats if they had the opportunity to do so.

Agreed. Of all the things one could complain about in Perl, "noisy" syntax is among the dumbest and most superficial (but, among the most common).

An informed rant about Perl might include these two function calls behaving differently and one almost certainly containing a bug, because function arguments are always a list:

some_function(@an_array, $a_scalar);

some_function2($a_scalar, @an_array);

Assume some_function receives @new_array and $new_scalar, and vice versa for some_function2. This trips up literally every new Perl developer (our UI guy, who is mostly a PHP and JS dev, ran into it just a few weeks ago).

Lack of function signatures is another good complaint about Perl. It's still not realistic to use them in code that ships for old Perl versions (like for deployment on leading server distributions).

There are others, but, yeah. I also hate how simplistic criticism of Perl is these days. It's knee jerk and poorly-informed in most cases. That doesn't mean I'm recommending Perl for everyone, or that I'd pick it for every new project, just that I wish the dialog around it weren't so stupid so much of the time.
Except it's not just complex scientific subjects they get wrong. If you start looking for it you'll find it's anything that you know about. I've observed it in articles on pigeon racing.

Here's the source for the Gell-Mann Amnesia Effect quote:

The only thing that will significantly slow down poaching is a massive reduction in it's profitability. The only way to do that is with a massive reduction in demand.

Most of the demand comes from SE Asia and China where they think this stuff cures medical conditions.

Long term, those governments need to modify primary and secondary school curricula to unambiguously dispel those myths. Eventually, the people who believe rhino horn cures cancer will die out or be pressured by their children, but this will take at least a generation.

In the meantime some species will go extinct. Their only hope is a sudden and prolonged recession or depression in Asia.
I take exception to the claim that being against casual sex is to be anti-sex in general. Having a single, dedicated sexual partner as a spouse is plenty sufficient to satisfy the human need for sexuality, and can provide a deeper, richer sexual experience from mutual knowledge, trust, and practice.

I am staunchly against sex work of all stripes. It's degrading, it frequently brings out the ugliest sides of humanity. Sexual motive is among the first considerations in a murder, and the 'profession' attracts crime regardless of legality. Sex work is actively deleterious to the human condition. Standing in opposition to sex work is, in fact, standing in favor of safe and positive sex.

While I agree that the law should, in general, stay out of the bedroom, money IS a matter of, indeed, a direct appendage of law. By bringing cash into sex, you have invited the law in, and saying that a commercial act so tied to health and public safety should be unregulated is preposterous. Would you disband the FDA because they won't let Joe Entrepreneur start a pufferfish sashimi shop with no regulation or certification?

Edit, copied from below to support the first paragraph:

Studies I've seen cite 20% of married men have committed at least one act of infidelity, and that the current percentage is almost twice what it was in the seventies. That seems to me like the vast majority of couples get along just fine in a monogamous relationship, and that culture has more to do with infidelity than primal need.
Yeah I can't see myself ever not having local copies of my music. Streaming services just don't cut it. E.g as a music enthusiast I'll often have specific releases/masters of albums etc...

I have my music library backed up on several drives and I've got a subsonic server setup so I can have access to it from anywhere. Best of both worlds imo.

Javascript fudges numbers??? I don't see how making stuff up is helpfull.

The README contains over 8900 lines of 200+ well documented standalone examples with many many code samples comparing JS and R side by side for every function call.

You took the effort to throw dirt at JS, but could you not have glossed over the "proof" first?

I'd like to second SendGrid.

In my previous job, we were using MailChimp until they decided that for some reason some of the communication (the campaings that are created manually via their interface) with our clients was spam. They did not give us any warning but one day they blocked everything, including the API (mandrillapp), which our system was using to send email as part of our process.

We moved our mail lists to SendGrid while decoupling the API, using AWS SNS for that.

I hate companies that treat you as if they were doing you a favour (we were paying customers, and worse that they don't sit down and talk to understand what is the situation. No business sense at all.
Ha! Some of my comments have elicited a roller-coaster ride like that too :-)

Yes, I have heard of teachers that would contra-indicate on people with schizophrenia as well. It's kinda hard to tell though. I was once in a Ayahuasca ceremony where many of the people were convinced someone was having a psychotic break ... but the person in question didn't seem to me to be acting in a way that I hadn't experienced. (That is, I was that person, playing that role before, having a rough ride). The person's inner experience was totally different than what everyone else was experiencing, and was expressing a lot of gratitude.

There are a lot of dark stuff buried in individuals and in the collective. Even just meditating will surface those things up. (Then again, something Adyashanti said in a podcast ... you go looking for content, you will find it. It's endless).

However, I also think that our modern notions of schizophrenia does not serve us well:

(There was a followup article interviewing the father of the young man in question, but I don't remember enough keywords to find it easily).

And no, I won't discount the magnetic field thing. I've got too many encounters with subtle energy and their effects, and work with them myself. I don't know if those subtle energies can necessarily be modeled mechanistically (I think the whole modern take on TCM and meridians a fool's errand since the body meridians lay in the etheric, whereever that is, and not really where the tangible flesh lay).

Thing is, until a large portion of the collective directly experiences it, the consensus algorithm in which our collective consciousness converges upon what is "real" will reject it. That's fine though.

> “I don’t think I’ll ever vote again,” she told the news outlet after her indictment. “That’s being honest. I’ll never vote again.”

This reminds of an article I read about a city government considering fining people for putting non-recyclables in their recycling containers. If there is a risk of getting punished for doing the right thing and no risk if you don't try to do the right thing, then guess which one I'm choosing.
Of course but imo it's not good strategy when you are dividing into hundreds of instances with 500+ users.

Looks like xenial has 0.5, so that's consistent with the grandparent's claim. xenial-updates has 1.3.1, however. Seems like the best option for Ubuntu users would be to pull this from the xenial-updates repo. Also note that Xenial is about to be replaced by 18.04.

Also, be careful with universe packages. They are fast and loose with them. The version of redis commonly deployed on 14.04 has a known security issue that bit us some time ago (CVE 2015-4335). See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/trusty/+source/redis/+bug/... .
Typically the easiest path to 'invention' is discovering how things function in other similar contexts, whether by naturally occurring phenomenon or clever optimization, and cross applying it to another field.

There are endless opportunities to do so in software (ie, in the 1990-2000s in enterprise software all you had to do was take x data heavy process and add a CRM/ERP/CMS/etc style system). Same with "web 2.0" web apps for clunky desktop software, mobile apps for desktop web apps, "sharing economy", IOT, and recently with deep learning/ML.

Likewise in the industrial revolution, you could find any process involving lots of manual labour and add mechanize it with engines or electricity and plenty of metal/steel.

As to OnePassword, I don’t know exactly. As to other password managers like LastPass and DashLane specifically against chrome built in...

- trusted machines you know you’ll log in from

- 2FA / MFA

- shareable passwords with friends/family

- works in all browsers

- works on mobile app / log in on any PC

- one time password access

- non-password things like door codes, software licenses, etc

- a lot more I’m just not thinking of I’m sure

To answer your question a bit more directly, yes. He doesn't like the consequences of running a reasonably large, unmonetized project. It isn't precisely a fault, but it is a situation he's not happy with and one that flows from his own decisions.

He's not a passive victim of the internet. He's an intelligent actor with the power to take different actions and get different results. He's also free to continue down the current path, but he doesn't appear to enjoy it.
When you are a CDN and already have a massive infrastructure to handle HTTP/2 traffic, DNS-over-HTTP/2 makes more sense.

I also totally trust Cloudflare for the TLS security part, especially since they support TLS 1.3 already.

Quad9 said they will support DNSCrypt soon, and the software they use just got an update to do it nicely. So, this will be a decent alternative if you are looking for an anycast resolver.
You're totally wrong! Setting boundaries is actually freedom. For example, imagine a world without roads!

Most EMRs don't meet the legal definition of a medical device and nothing a provider does can change that.

I think correctness is the wrong word. Maybe safety would be better? (Verboseness? Precision?)

Go is quite a stable language. Well-specified, rigorously tested, and conservatively updated.

I think all the behavior you listed is well-defined, albeit perhaps unexpected.

Lack of generics doesn't make code incorrect. Less clear maybe, or easier to make a mistake. Or clearer and a lot more code.

I guess you could argue that it makes writing correct code harder?
In addition, C progressed because it was free.

People forget that compilers in the 1980's were expensive.

If you wanted something compiled other than assembly language, your choices were C (1987--gcc could generally bootstrap) and Pascal (1984--mostly TurboPascal) and ... nothing.

Look at what was sitting in Dr Dobbs Journal in the 1980's. People were typing in enormous programs in BASIC(!) in order to play with things like LISP and Prolog. Not a recipe for adoption ...

I remember getting stuck using some Macintosh Lisp thing in 1986/1987--I pined for my OS9 machine and C and the dulcet (not!) grind of it's floppy drive. That says something.

Commonly apartment complexes here (Finland) are owned by building-specific limited liability housing companies that do not make profit, with shares corresponding to apartments. Those shares are then owned by various individuals or rental companies, so a building office makes less sense.

But if a rental provider company owns the complex outright, they still don't have building-specific offices, but just one central office per city/region.

From the article:

> From a public health perspective [restricting calories] would be impractical for many and dangerous for some.

Regardless of what's the most optimal solution it's very helpful to have the option when this isn't an easy/practical option. And having tried to cut out sugars and processed foods in my own life, it was certainly not easy and required a significant monetary and time investment to cook my own meals, and buy fast-expiring produce.

It doesn't have to be either/or to reach health goals, as you can mix the two depending on your particular resources.
Don't really see why motive matters in that case. The idea of misstating the problem doesn't exist (the bonus and the cost reductions are intrinsically tied to one another) and the additional clarity doesn't guarantee the desired behavior. It's possible a subordinate might not help you if they don't feel your personal gain is beneficial to them.

If a manager says "I need to reduce costs by 10%", the specific desired business outcome is clear. Reminding your subordinates that your pay and continued employment is tied to you completely the tasks and requests of the people you answer to doesn't seem needed. This isn't about "some organizations", it's just about efficiency.
I Want to put this here as a first level comment, some people (well actually only one) are making up stuff that JavaScript "fudges" floating point numbers.

People don’t need “jobs”, they need work their body and mind. Doesn’t matter except to the rich what that work is. Just like there’s nothing in physics to say we have to reach for a Bible for answers. Nothing there obliges is to capitalism

Adam Smith understood it more generally like this, and warned of taking division of labor too far.

According to Chomsky, Smith only argued for a “free labor market”. One that could only exist in a society where people of equal footing exist. Otherwise capital owner has immediate leverage to capture the workers market

That is the goal of the elite; capture of workers and their efforts

What we have is a system where the work available is heavily tilted towards the desires of capital owners, and a “jump on command or starve” joke of a “free” society
I think one of the best ways to understand network scaling (in the human sense) is the warrens and plazas metaphor [0]

Warrens are venues with relatively small size, that are relatively opaque to the outside. In principle, there is no scalability limit to warrens, as warrens scale horizontally.

Plazas are venues with relatively large size that are relatively transparent to the outside. Plazas scale vertically, and so run into all sorts of size based scaling difficulties [1][2].

I'd expect networks like facebook which are very warren-y to have a much lower value growth curve relative to the number of nodes. While it's true that Facebook has created plaza-ish features like Pages, the core function of the network is explicitly warren-y, with a cap to the number of friends any profile can have.

In contrast, a network like twitter should have a value growth curve much closer to Metcalf's law since it is almost completely plaza-ish.

Not cool. You comment descends a bit into ad hominem territory.

That blog post was basically Boz publicly acknowledging a personal flaw he hadn't been aware of up until his interaction with Dustin. In other words, calling him a mean co-worker in 2008 would be an accurate characterization, if we rely on his recollection of events when Dustin was still Facebook CTO. Calling him a mean co-worker now would be an unfair characterization.

FWIW, Jeff Bezos told a similar story of how he became aware of his meanness to his grandmother in a commencement address in 2010, though in his own case he was a 10 yo boy when he came to that realization. [0].

Having just done this recently, and still being fairly plugged in on what's hot vs. what's not, the worst part has been picking a motherboard. There is an infinity of different enthusiast/gaming motherboards, all of them almost, but not quite, functionally the same. And damned near every single one has an average 4 out of 5 star rating on newegg, so you have to spend eternity wading through reviews trying to decide whether or not motherboard makers are just bad or gamers are just fussy assholes (or both).
In my case, I have to support a large number (500 or so) Linux boxes that are hosted at customer sites (for a custom middleware-type application). And the remote access they have provided for us isn't a direct ssh connection, it goes through a web based gateway using an old active-x control, and embedded shockwave/flash based app (yes, yuck). I'm in the process of replacing that now.

You don't need to do this. The simplest solution to birth rates is to improve the economic power of your women--generally by education. Once women have choices that don't suck, birth rates drop dramatically.
