Sounds like you need to re-read what was written because your approach falls in the same line of thinking. Creating a demo is part of sales, even if you had to develop something in order to create that demo. You’re not asking people to integrate your finished product into their life, you’re asking them to view a 30 second demo. And then they’re reaching out to you and asking if you would take some of their money off their hands. Great!

A Better Way to Think About This Month’s Jobs Numbers – FiveThirtyEight
Saudi Crown Prince MBS met with tech investors
The thinking expressed echoes many of the themes from my reading of Stoicism, chiefly
* learning to appreciate what you have rather than chase something you don't have in the vain hope that it will give you satisfaction.
* coming to terms with the fact that there are things you have no control over and not worry about them.

(If you are unfamiliar with Stoicism and would like to learn more, the blog archive at http://modernstoicism.com/ has a lot of content. I also liked William Irvine's "A guide to the good life" (https://www.amazon.com/Guide-Good-Life-Ancient-Stoic/dp/0195...).
It's sort of like utilitarianism is losing to deontology, except that many of the decision-makers don't really even seem smart enough to compare the two. It's more arbitrary.

It seems very much possible to fix data corruption of a broken flash translation layer of SD cards with yet another translation layer using erasure coding. Whatever the controller does or doesn't it still can only write in blocks, we just have to make sure erasure codes are at least a block size apart from the data.

My understanding is that auto-braking during autonomous driving doesn’t normally react to stationary objects like barriers. Otherwise it would brake for things like cardboard boxes, plastic bags, and other debris that often makes its way onto the road. But rather, autonomous driving AI puts a lot of trust into its lane guidance.

> as long as you didn't do anything too careless

Who determines how much careless is "too" careless? "slightly careless" but with huge consequences is more concerning than "incredibly careless" but with no consequences.

Really the punishment should be matching the value of the breach. For example with HIPAA breaches, you can get fined $10k or so, PER RECORD -- obviously medical data is exceptionally more sensitive than most. Credit data should be covered under a HIPAA-like statute. Under HIPAA there's no such thing as "a little careless" -- you either f'ed up or you didn't. There's no gray area.
An outright prostitution marketplace (review site, advertising, transaction facilitation) seems like one of the most obvious businesses for jurisdictional arbitrage. It's not illegal in some markets (although I'm not sure which); unlike an online service which holds assets, there's no real need to identify or know the site operators. The natural advertisers on such a site are either porn/adult affiliates or prostitutes themselves, none of which would have problems contracting with an offshore entity.

Bitcoin today, especially if you couldn't use any of the major wallet providers, is probably beyond the usability cliff for people in this market, but it's enough of a closed market that some kind of payment system should be bootstrapable.
tangentially, the "blueprint spaghetti" link is pretty great:

https://blueprintsfromhell.tumblr.com/

at a former job i knew a team of devs who built and maintained a framework to help teams of researchers put together pipelines of simulation (often fluid simulation), animation, rendering, etc. This framework had its own blueprinting functionality.

One of the cute features they had was nested blueprints -- e.g. you could define some blueprint, and abstract it behind an interface as its own component, then re-use the component in another blueprint.

So i guess in a "blueprints from hell" scenario that lets you have "fractal blueprints from hell".

edit:

i'm also reminded of Chris Domas' defcon talk "Psychological Warfare in Reverse Engineering", where he sets out to construct binaries that cause despair when someone tries to reverse engineer them -- in particular he asks the question: "could i make a binary that draws a particular picture when someone views the binary's control flow graph in IDA"

>Large automakers know this but simpler for them translates into less maintenance which means lower profits. Automakers therefore will pay lip service to electrics, drag their feet and kill off any real electric competition if they can.

That might have been the original plan, but nowadays it would be suicidal. That is because the Chinese government is totally committed to EV's. I am sure the mainstream auto execs are totally aware of that.

Quote from that page about the Thirty Years War:
"Initially a war between various Protestant and Catholic states in the fragmented Holy Roman Empire, it gradually developed into a more general conflict involving most of the great powers. These states employed relatively large mercenary armies, and the war became less about religion and more of a continuation of the France–Habsburg rivalry for European political pre-eminence."

In particular, you have Catholic France against the Catholic Habsburgs, and the issues were not doctrinal. Not what you would expect if this was a war about religion. This was not a war about religion primarily, by the time most of the deaths occurred.

welp

if you're scared of death (and honestly i can't say that i ever have been to the point where i couldn't think deeply about it) just think of things in this objectively correct way: you've already been dead for the majority of the history of the universe, and it really wasn't so bad.

tell me, what was your life like in the year 14?

you have no recollection of it, obviously. it was oblivion; the idea of you did not even exist yet. you felt nothing. it's exactly the same situation as your life in the year 2952.

you already know how it feels. it is, in fact, the sensation that you have "experienced" infinitely more than any other. life tricks us into thinking that its sensations are the only thing, and it's nice to play along. but eventually you'll return to the peace of the familiar.

PS: while i haven't had the chance to dabble, i hear that many people find taking magic mushrooms and experiencing ego death is a good way to shed your fear.
Manhattan was planned North of Canal anyways. It's a mess.

You can't plan growth, sorry. You can't see 40 years into the future, let alone 100.

Sure, don't build on flood plains. Got it. But that's not planning failure. That's our government bailing people out all the time, so no one is afraid of building where they should know better.
> if I were to lose a system that had PHI on it I would be required to report the breach even if the system had full disk encryption

According to the Texas Medical Association[0],

How about the following:

When you die, there is nothing afterwards. We keep picturing this dark void, or ourselves floating in outer space, watching longingly as the world keeps going without us. We wonder what people will think of us. We wonder if it was worth it. We worry if we'll feel regret.

None of that happens--at least for some people. You can think of it like you just go to sleep, but no dreams. Just pure nothingness, and no sense of time, not sense of anything. You can imbdue this moment with terror if you want, but you can just as easily think of it as peace, final, eternal, lasting peace. Release from the struggle of book reports, bills, shouting matches, the constant biological drives, unsatisfactory lunch meat, the whole mofo.

Now, you can build it up to whatever you want. You can just as easily build it up to a moment of eternal terror when you regret the entire past and the lack of a future, and live forever in your worst moments being amplified and stretched to fill the universe.

There's actually no way of knowing which it is. But you get to choose how you think about it during your life. A life filled with dread and fear of this last moment is going to be sour, whereas a life filled with a slightly curious trust that everything will be fine will be much more enjoyable.

Death is such an intrinsic part of life that it makes no sense that it'd be a horror. It'd be a cosmic joke on all of us if it were. Knowing one person that has died well--old, without regrets, satisfied with loved ones, and not in pain is an existence proof that it doesn't have to be this way.

Personally I want to try to live one of those lives that ends in peace and without regretting or hating at the end, just a lot of nice memories coming back as my brain winds down and releases one monster rush of endorphins.
Interesting. So am I right in assuming there are:

- 9 bronze level (1k Euro/year)
- 5 silver level (2k Euro/year)
- 11 gold level (4k Euro/year)
- 5 platinum level (8k Euro/year)

...members of the consortium (based on the color of the surround on the member label/icon)? So that would be ~103,000 Euro per year? Or is that signifying a one-time contribution (vs. recurring annual)? It doesn't look like there has been a consortium report published since 2015:

http://consortium.pharo.org/web/reports

...any ideas what that means? (i.e. they stopped publishing them for privacy reasons, the consortium no longer has meetings, the consortium is no longer active, etc.?) Any ideas on what projects they are currently funding, and how many man-hours of programmer time are being purchased for Pharo in 2018?

This post by a security researcher who prefers to remain anonymous

If iOS is to really be considered a secure OS, and if vanilla macOS is to become more secure, independent end-user control must be considered. Increased low-level design security at the cost of control, and the ability to prevent leaking data, cannot be considered a real improvement in security.

Whoever you are, thank you greatly for not being another one of those authoritarian cargo-cult "users are stupid so we should remove all control from them" people which the greater security community seems to be full of.

>Show some gratitude for the religion from which grew the very concept of human rights you now take for granted in the West and for the faithful who overthrew monarchs to enshrine those rights, which they believed were given to them by God.

Those same monarchs believed they held the divine right to rule given to them by the same God, and those same Christians believed that same God justified their enslavement of their fellow men, rape and subjugation of women, persecution of Jews, and the genocide of indigenous and "pagan" cultures that refused conversion.

You've got cause and effect reversed. The modern concept of universal human rights as espoused by the Founding Fathers comes from Enlightenment principles, not Christian.

Same here. Just added an anecdote the other day:

My dad was quite prescient for the time and bought me and my sister VIC-20s with little black and white matching TVs. I have great memories of typing in games from magazines and hacking the random sentence generator in BASIC and loading/saving programs to cassette tape over many minutes. Ten minutes to find and load a program!

The sentence generator was quite hilarious, my friends and I added all the bad words a group of 12 year-olds could think up and put them in the DATA lines. Hours and weeks of fun and laughs, haha. I'm a bit jealous other people discovered assembly language on the thing, didn't know it existed at the time.

Had the whole thing with Datasette, Manuals, and tapes in the original box in mint condition until around 2001-ish… until I finally sold and trashed everything to backpack around the world, sigh.
Why laughable? Different levels can support different amounts of context in logging and error handing and ultimately the message the end user sees.
There are already people doing this. Not that it means no one else should, but this isn't a new idea.

Say you want to model a Turing machine. You can allocate a fixed length tape (making a linear bounded automaton), or a tape that can grow (closer to a "real" Turing machine).

Now, you could argue that writing to a part of the finite tape that's so far clear is "allocating memory" - but at the same time that could be a single section of statically allocated memory from the perspective of the Os that runs your vm...

I typically just write some DOM based JS for those situations. Web APIs do a lot more than we think these days. Write some data structures to drive them, maybe call Object.freeze if you want, perhaps use Immutable.js because it’s setter/getter functions are kind of nice, but really, I’ve not found a pressing need for many libraries for these “in between” sites myself.

Not sure what you might mean by his 'political opposite'; he had no time for any institution - left or right - which took itself too seriously. Equally happy to target folk-music-activists, The US Army, National Brotherhood Week, the Catholic church, censors, or pigeons. I mean, he certainly presented himself as liberal-minded, but also hugely dismissive of performative progressivism in a way that's, frankly, somewhat conservative. So I'm confused where you would place yourself that is 'opposite' that. What is the opposite of 'irreverent'?

Everytime I deal with mysql I ask why there is mysql. It's terrible when compared to postgres at consistency, correctness, functionality (e.g. check constraints, cte, and window functions, pg_tgrm, full text search, index flexibility and that's without thinking about PostGIS, pg-routing and many of the other excellent 3rd party extensions) and error handling and nearly equivalent when it comes for basic queries that mysql even supports.

Edit: forgot transactional ddls, real ones, not the ones mysql has in the pipeline.

I agree with you, but there is one key difference...you are paying your ISP for the service. Google, FB, etc. provide free service offerring in exchange for your data.

If ISPs are going to monetize customers traffic then their terms of use better damn well call that out.

Windows before Vista/XP is quite good in terms of privacy in the "phones home" sense --- no activation and a fresh default install will remain absolutely quiet on the network. Activation started with XP (but easily cracked), and then Microsoft began increasing the noise and phoning-home crap shortly after that.

I find it ironic that one of the features removed starting with Win7 was the network activity indicator in the system tray. Of course, recent Apple hardware and software has no indicators either. The opaqueness is unsettling.
If you delete a div from the DOM, nested divs are deleted as well. This is the core to a new site engine I've built[0]. It takes a JSON representation of a single-page application, and dynamically constructs pages within the browser. The resulting page is very fast and lightweight, especially on mobile, as there are almost no server calls involved. The Node engine is less than 200 LOC and the client is less than 600 - both are smaller than the JSON file for the main site. I'm building a hosting service for this new type of site, hoping to launch before end of summer[1].
