Congrats, you've re-invented clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) :)

You're right that it's not essential to have, but if you can re-implement it then you've also just re-introduced the timing attack that the removal of clock_gettime was trying to prevent.

The trivial-ness with which a clock suitable for timing attacks is able to be created is literally why SharedArrayBuffer was panic-removed from all major browsers. Because that's all you need, shared memory & a worker. Congrats, you have a high-precision timer with zero OS support.

So as soon as you allow any form of threading or shared memory to occur you've given apps a high precision timer, so you might as well just give them an actual timer, too.
It is not necessarily about paying to "clear allegations" against them, it is about adding context to convictions/arrests listed their background report.

For example, someone may add this to a drug conviction listed on their report: "I was 18, a freshman in college, and away from home for the first time. I was at a party where drugs were consumed and I was subsequently arrested for possession. Since that time I have obtained my college degree and maintained an active, drug free, lifestyle. I learned my lesson, changed my life and drugs are no longer a part of my lifestyle."

If the receive a copy of their report due to an adverse action by an employer there is no charge to add the statement. I do agree, however, that, like a credit report, background reports should be free to obtain at least once a year. There are countless cases of mistaken identity and incorrect information on criminal background reports that are often found out after it is too late. Often times too, many arrests/convictions can be removed from your report depending on the type, state, and age of arrest/conviction. Many college students don't realize the long-term repercussions of simple indiscretions. It is only after they apply for a job and are turned down because of a background check that they realize the beer they were caught drinking at age 20 in their college dorm room had bigger consequences than the $50 fine.

I really don't have any objection to affiliate links. If you're talking about something and link to it on Amazon with your affiliate link, rather than a bare link, what difference does that make to me, as the user? You get paid a smidgeon, on something that I would have either bought or not bought anyway, for the same price to me either way.
Facebook Cambridge Analytica : A timeline of the data hijacking scandal
There are software engineers working for firms with government contracts making way more than the federal salary scale too. Take a look at large IT contractors, they have numerous employees making more than GS-15 and above. There are plenty of exceptions, and there is absolutely no reason drug R&D couldn't be another one.

>But even there, outside the C-suite, there's a $500k salary cap.

How many biotech researchers outside of their respective C-suites are making >$500k? There are plenty of people who have gotten wealthy on government contracts, there's no reason they couldn't do the same in biotech.

>especially if they start their own business (even one that has a modest exit).

And if you start your own business pursuing government contracts, you can make more than $500k too.

There are reasonable arguments to make against publicly funded R&D, but "the federal payscale is too low" just isn't one of them.
Says the person posting to a web application. Where exactly do you want to draw the line?
They do, but I don't believe it's possible to access a .onion without going through Tor, which has some major downsides:

- You need to install a special browser

- The connection is going to be pretty slow

- Poor security due to no https; an exit node could inject bad stuff into downloaded PDFs

- Unreliability, as of right now sci-hub.tw is fine for me, but the .onion won't load at all. I've found other sites with both .onion and normal URLs to be similarly less reliable.
I don't know about arrange, but lately my parents circle of friends has been "arranging payment without paying" by giving their kids the funeral money to go into a home loan offset account. So basically they save interest payments and have the cash on hand when needed.
anybody have any input if this is feasible for apps like Signal?

Does this bode poorly for my go-to site to talk about my favorite celebrity, pesci-hubbub.com ?
I'm actually surprised this whole suit is being pursued by a professional society. Closed publications seem to be out of line with the interest of their members. Unless the society makes substantial money from their publications, which is unlikely[0], it's hard to see what the motivation of this organization would be and why the members of the society haven't loudly complained against it. I'd really expect a suit from this to come from Elseiver or NPG.

[0] From talking to a few representives of sceintific societies it sounds like they usually produce thier journals at or around cost.
>Since the web as a document viewer system appears to be dying, leaving only the distributed application system I don't really want to use anyway, perhaps in a few more years I'll be able to abandon the web thing and do something else.

How many real "distributed applications" do you see on the web, though, versus documents with dynamic content?

Is Medium, which is primarily intended to serve text, but which depends on javascript, an app or a document? What about Facebook, which despite its complexity still looks and acts more or less like a document, albeit with interactivity and asynchronous loading. Is it a matter of static versus dynamic content? Memory usage and computation? Features like AJAX and session storage?

If documents are only static, non-scripted HTML pages, then do they become applications if there is server-side logic involved?

I don't think there is an objective description of "web app" versus "document", I don't think the web is as cleanly cut along those lines and many might like to believe.
I heard that used to be true for older cremations, but not for newer ones (due to higher heat & efficiency) ?

I considered blindfolding, but from what I gather the protein would be activated merely with the presence of the field.

Looks like the humane way to test, according to the article cited above, is to affix magnets to the eyes/beak to see if it disrupts anything. In any case, in retrospect, I personally feel my suggestion to remove the beak is more cruel than removing the eyes. Both are hideous to contemplate. But, a bird without a beak? That's just a miserable thing to imagine.
> It took me months to get it figured out

Either way this would be a PITA, but it seems the easiest thing to do would be to just go ahead and show up in court. The judge would have you there for about 2 minutes before smacking down the lawyer for the side that summoned you, and sent you home. No reason to spend months working it all out...
I'm not sure why, but the few times in high-school that I took acid, I could see lines in the night sky going north to south. It was deterministic, like clock work.

Does anybody have an ideas why? I mean, I wasn't really hallucinating, I didn't take too much. I could always truely find north or south. I couldn't tell what was north or south, but I could draw the line, always.

Am I crazy? I mean, I'm not saying I'm a bird, but...

What is it like to see a magneric field?

Because it's in their eyes, it would have a visual interpretation. And some evolutionary advantage to that visual advantage, else the cells could be anywhere (unless there's a biochemical similarity to cones?)

However, a field isn't like photons hitting the retina. It would probably be a new colour, which we can't imagine, but I'm asking where that colour would appear, to indicate the field.

Perhaps a faint fog, varying in strength with direction - like the sky at dusk and dawn.
It never, ever ceases to amaze me how right Einstein was without the ability to test his hypotheses. At the time it was all groundbreaking theoretical work yet it mostly holds up to empirical studies.

EPIC-Kitchens: The largest dataset in first-person vision
What I had in mind is you buy a bag, put the person in it and it does its thing totally automatically. You’d need to do it outside city limits of course and in open air and you’d carefully watch the direction of the wind. I’m not really suggesting people should pursue it, I was merely wondering if it’s even legal.

TBH, I don’t see why human remains can’t be disposed of the way other garbage is disposed of, through the same garbage processing facilities. Just literally take the deceased to the garbage processing center and chuck them into the shredder along with their old mattress.

When it comes to remains, I don’t consider them to be “my loved one”, that part is gone. I will honor whatever wishes they’ve had before they died, but my own wish will be that my loved ones just quickly get rid of my body at a minimal cost and move on. To remember me, just celebrate what I’ve left behind.

autopilots do not require split-second interventions if something goes wrong, the buffer is usually in a couple of seconds range. Even then trained pilots sometimes fail to correctly take over the flying duties (see Air France Flight 447).

You need HTML+JS if you want to deliver one single application to iOS, Android, MacOS, Android, Linux, BSD, Solaris, Chrome OS, Tizen, and OSes that don't even exist yet and not be held to a single proprietary platform owned and managed by a single entity.

You could argue that it's not necessary but that's what it is.

The site you're posting to now probably wouldn't even exist if it required installing a different proprietary application for every platform.
Pretty sure this tech demo will be shelved after they get tired of it breaking down.
That depends on your level as a programmer. A real beginner shouldn't spend a long time on it as s/he will just be wasting time and becoming frustrated. Someone with more experience might spend more time on it because they have more things to think over and more ideas to try.

What is more important is what happens AFTER looking up a solution. You have to be analytical and look at the solution. How does it work? How is it different from your attempt(s)? Why is it better than any attempt you made? And so on. This is difficult for a beginner, but you will get better.
Yeah, if you're looking for New York style, you're pretty much limited to Arinell.

Email addresses are considered personal data, and you need to explain what you are going to do with them at the time that you collect them. Ideally, because gum road is collecting them then you need to vet gum road too to make sure that they comply with the GDPR.

So you would need to have some text on the form submission page to satisfy their right to be informed, e.g. explaining that you are collecting the email address in order to send product updates, and that you use gum road to manage that.

In addition, check gum road to make sure that they comply with the GDPR, because in this case they are holding personal data and you are liable for whatever noncompliance that they have. They should have some type of page on their site that take about what they are doing for the GDPR, and you would want to check that over.

It is possible that someone that put in an email address would use their right of erasure, in which case you as the controller would be responsible for making sure that the email address is erased from everywhere including backups in 30 days, so you would also want to check gum road as to how they handle that, and also make sure that any email addresses you do collect do not wind up in any backups that you cannot easily purge if you need to.
Prions Are Forever Blog Network
Is it just me or is there no "Event of default" clause to these? They state that there is a maturity date, which is automatically extended unless terminated, but again not explanation of the creditors rights on default. Speaking of maturity what exactly happens at that date? Do you get your principal back? No explanation of what happens then either. Seems like everyone is trying to end around securities law. I'll stick to my dividend paying ETFs.

Edit: Read the white paper more in depth. Principal paid at maturity.

Edit2: Seems kinda similar to an ETN (exchange traded note)

Kind of ironic given that the post is about building their custom web-based text editor... I wonder if they use it to draft their posts for Medium too.
You can use sep for that.
What really bothers me about Duolingo is its Rosetta Stone approach to language learning. For adults, learning by osmosis is not a thing for languages. The creator has said that the reason the grammar notes (as bare bones as they are) are not available in the apps, is, that he wants, users to pick up the grammar through the exercises.

I study French, German and Russian at uni, and for doing translations, or even just writing letters or speaking, this is not good enough. You want to be comfortable in a language, and that comes with a rock solid grammar foundation, as 'dull' as it seems.

As many have said, Duolingo should be a tool amongst many. It has actually been really helpful for drilling through particular problem areas where I get a case wrong here or there.

What they really need to do is get listening and reading comprehension out there; working alongside some people who really never understand grammar explanations, they can often work it out in their head after reading through a passage with a few examples, it makes it personal to them and they can see the 'point' of the rule.

Also they need to get a better vocab tool, memrise/anki style. Sometimes I just wanna practice shopping items because I'm on the bus to get 'groceries' and I wanna make sure im all sured up.
I see some parallels in what you said with myself. But I think for me it comes down to opportunity cost.

It's not that I actively seek to do things that are harder. But I feel like if I'm going to spend the time doing something, it might as well have multiple benefits or be more "unique" or "different".

For example, I recently went on a backpacking trip. I decided to do the more difficult route. Not because I wanted more of a challenge, but because if I was going to do all of the work to travel to that distant location, I should probably complete as much of the trail as possible.

When it comes to projects, I pick the harder ones because if I'm going to spend the next 3 months working on something, I might as well do something I don't know much about, and learn something new.

For me, it's always about getting the most value out of my time spent on something. But I do agree, that often times if I just worked on something that I find easy, I could get a product to market, or finish projects quickly. I am in this stage of my life now where I feel like I've built up a solid knowledge base by challenging myself and I am now exploring how to monetize those skills better.

Tesla targets production of Model Y for 2019
Right - you'd want to use a fingerprinting technique (collecting data) to identify machines for rate limiting (security, read: intrusion detection) purposes.

Almost every API of any consequence does this, and it was done as a defensive tactic to reduce costs/load/outages caused by spammers, ddos attacks, crawlers, etc etc etc.

> people tend to forget that advertising covers a real need

I don't buy it. Advertising is not going to provide me with the service that is the most suited to my need, or with the best value. In fact, quite the opposite: the advertisement that's the most likely to reach me comes from the company with the largest budget for advertisement. That budget eats into either the profit of the company or into the quality of service delivered.

> just to play devil's advocate - would you get into an Uber if you knew the driver had 5 previous DUIs?

See, this is the very problem with using criminal history as a form of profiling.

What about his history indicates that he drinks on the job, or will be drunk when you get into his car? If those DUIs all occurred off-the-clock, involving no passengers or collisions, after long shifts of driving stone sober, what's it to Uber?

The irony is, if we deny him employment opportunities based on past behavior unrelated to his job performance, he's going to have plenty of free time to indulge such vices. Being unemployed sucks.

Meanwhile take a 20-something with a habit of getting high behind the wheel. He's still young so he's got a clean record and few (if any) reviews. You'd get into his deathmobile simply because you don't know any better.
> what about hosting a node that you can manually add to your bootstrap list?

I tried that and it didn't help :/ I think there's a bug in fetching content, because I was requesting the files from a node connected directly to mine (which I knew had the files) but still could not retrieve them. Hopefully 0.4.14 will work a bit better.

This is great, thanks for sharing. I'm curious about the downstream proxy process (i.e. ::1234) and how you scale it and balance load across multiple instances of the process. You can't really use iptables to load balance your processes as either the DNAT or REDIRECT mechanism will modify the destination address, right?

Ex.
# TPROXY directs all traffic to :1234, and these rules load balance to 4 different processes

iptables -t nat -I OUTPUT -p tcp -o lo --dport 1234 -m state --state NEW -m statistic --mode nth --every 4 --packet 0 -j DNAT --to-destination 127.0.0.1:8080

iptables -t nat -I OUTPUT -p tcp -o lo --dport 1234 -m state --state NEW -m statistic --mode nth --every 4 --packet 1 -j DNAT --to-destination 127.0.0.1:8081

iptables -t nat -I OUTPUT -p tcp -o lo --dport 1234 -m state --state NEW -m statistic --mode nth --every 4 --packet 2 -j DNAT --to-destination 127.0.0.1:8082

iptables -t nat -I OUTPUT -p tcp -o lo --dport 1234 -m state --state NEW -m statistic --mode nth --every 4 --packet 3 -j DNAT --to-destination 127.0.0.1:8083
It's interesting that donating your body to science is nowhere to be seen, either in the article or the comments.

Many organizations will even provide a stipend to the next-of-kin, and some even still provide cremated remains (to the next-of-kin) once the body has served its purpose.

Furthermore, consenting to organ donation can serve an immediate life-threatening need.
Efficiently Testing Pipelined Microservices
For Russian, initial test wasn't terribly bad, but it would flag word order as wrong when it would make no difference in Russian (and really is a bit more natural). Some of the "correct" answers also obviously required more background information than the phrase they wanted me to translate provided.

Looks like fun, but not a tool that would teach you to speak a language correctly.
And the CEO himself pleaded guilty to money laundering. I remember people here were coming out in droves to defend the company against big bad government when the site was first seized.

This line is particularly condemning:

> They are saying it is the driver's fault because he put too much faith into the autopilot system.

Any faith the driver had in Tesla's autopilot system would be due to Tesla's marketing. If Tesla believes its self driving capabilities are not quite ready for market, maybe they shouldn't be selling it and calling it an "autopilot".
I have found that a combination of Duolingo / Rosetta Stone in combination with the FSI Courses ( https://www.livelingua.com/fsi-language-courses.php ) gives a good combination of Grammar + Speaking material to learn a language.
