Like some others in this thread, I keep my phone permanently in grayscale to make it less visually stimulating.

In those extremely rare cases where I turn on color—when it's needed because a UI is color-based—I find the colors absolutely garish and want to turn them off immediately.

It's like eliminating refined sugar and artificial sweeteners from your diet and then eating a cupcake. It's too intense, and therefore offputting.

I think this is a good idea.

Specifically what I found upsetting its that it stopped being possible to help people with bad English or those that struggled to express themselves. On numerous occasions I'd finally extract meaning from their mis-phrased question, tap out a considered response only to be prevented from posting it because the question was now closed.

That experience was exceptionally frustrating and a downgrade from newsgroups.
If you look at the SRAM bit cells, they halved in area from 28nm to 14nm, and halved again from 14nm to 7nm. This is likely due to metal interconnects or other features only halving in spacing going from 28nm process to 7nm. So the scaling almost appears to apply to only one dimension (full linear scaling of two dimensions would have quartered the cell area at each step resulting in a 16-fold total reduction). But it is still scaling nevertheless.

Diesel vs electric is a false dichotomy. Many cities in north america have natural-gas powered buses, and a lot of taxi fleets are CNG as well. Then there's also old-style cable cars and overhead electric lines scattered around, too.
The TLS WG can haggle about DANE all it wants, but DANE is a dead letter: it was tried in two of the four major browsers and failed, and a third (Safari) briefly had nascent framework support for it and jettisoned it. Without support from the browser vendors, DANE is irrelevant.

The big problem Chrome had with DANE was that they couldn't (and presumably still can't) assume reliable DNSSEC/DANE record lookups. If you can't fail closed with DANE, then all DANE really is is another CA; attackers can "strip" DANE from connections, trivially, and be exactly where they are today. Meanwhile, end-users pay the price in latency and reduced performance for a cosmetic security improvement that most people don't care about.
It was in fact a joke, but with some truth. You're making serious claims about a vast body of literature and methodologies without having actually understood their entirety. This is exactly what you're criticizing social scientists for doing: drawing conclusions based on observations from systems no one has fully isolated for experimentation. If you think this is methodologically unsound, that's fine, but you shouldn't then do it yourself.
> Because NAT is an abominable hack with significant technical and administrative overhead.

Agreed. But you can use private networks without NAT. In fact, 99% of traffic in the private network doesn't need NAT. Only outside traffic does, and only that which can't use proxies etc. - which is pretty small amount of overall traffic, I think.
It makes a lot of sense for this coin to be on Stellar network. It is fast and cheap, and they can actually create their own coin whenever they like and treat current ones as tokens. I think this is smart move and much better then creating on Ethereum because of speed and price that goes along with it and often is not mentioned.

> Age discrimination really exists.

Avoid age discrimination by screeners by limiting your resume to the last 10 years and taking the dates off when you graduated.

The last 5-7 years is more than enough in most cases... when I look at a resume with jobs going back to the 90s... it's just painful. Nobody cares what you were doing past your last job. Add 1-2 more jobs before that if you really want to give me background, but as someone who goes through a lot of resumes I wish they were capped at 1-page, and 3 past jobs.
The scale of this is astounding and wonderful:

"China had about 99 percent of the 385,000 electric buses on the roads worldwide in 2017, accounting for 17 percent of the country’s entire fleet. Every five weeks, Chinese cities add 9,500 of the zero-emissions transporters—the equivalent of London’s entire working fleet, according Bloomberg New Energy Finance."

Yeah, I think the question of what we should optimize for is the fundamental problem here. There's really nothing called "human wellbeing" that can be maximized. Everyone has different perspectives, values, goals, ideas, dreams, and so on. It's impossible to turn all these ways of seeing the world into a working system without involving the people themselves, especially given how people's perspectives change over time.

I'll follow up by mentioning that even as you have it worded now, it's not precise enough to answer. You need to explicitly describe the false positive and negative rates separately. As is, a test that is just "return false" (100% false-negatives, 0% false-positives) will be 99% accurate, but gives no information, whereas a test with 1% false positive rate can have a 1% false negative rate and still be correct 99% of the time, and will provide much more information.

Statistics is weird and unintuitive.
Because expiraments on humans can provide information that expiraments on other animals can't, and the information in question is information that we care about.

In addition, humans can consent to things.
I am arguing in good faith. There may be some cases in physics where there is some theoretical distribution derived related specifically to the problem, and they believe the model to be actually 100% true. Otherwise, the model should be assumed to only be an approximation at best.
Yup, totally arbitrary. That's why I prefer the poetry yeast writes about the beauty of the universe and the pain of existence to that written by humans.

> Do you have redundant power supply at home, redundant internet connection? Keeping your own server up and running at home is unreliable and annoying.

That's all besides the point. When you want to share a file with someone while you are both working on it, say, there is no need for a "server". IP is perfectly fine for transfering a file from your machine to theirs. When you want to talk to someone over the net, there is no need for a "server". IP is perfectly fine for transmitting voice calls between your machine to theirs.

Your mistake is in your assumption that you even need a server in the first place. For some things, that might be useful. For other things, that is only needed as a workaround for NAT in the first place.

Also, reliably running a server at home isn't hat hard either, even today. With hardware offerings that are a better fit, it could be even easier. There isn't really any reason why hosting your own "server" at home needs to be any more difficult than hosting your own vacuum cleaner.

> Hiding insecurity is perfectly valid. It is making attack surface smaller.

No, it doesn't. It simply makes it harder for you to notice that you are not secure, that's all. This is not about whether firewalling insecure services off from public access makes the attack surface smaller. It does. But NAT doesn't, a firewall does. If you have a firewall, you don't need NAT. If you don't have a firewall, NAT won't protect you.

> I do not get pings of death, constant scanning, login attempts all the time on my local machine which is always behind NAT. Every server that has public IP gets scanned or tried out with vulnerabilities.

Which is just completely irrelevant. None of these things are a security risk. They are annoyances when trying to debug the network, that's all. And none of that is in any way fundamentally helped by even a firewall. You have a huge attack surface in your web browser that is completely unaffected by your firewall and by NAT as well, pretending that a service listening on a port is somehow a huge security problem, but executing untrusted code inside a massively complicated virtual machine is harmless is just completely focusing on the wrong problem. Also, all those pages that you load into your browser sort-of have access to your local network anyway, because your browser is inside your firewall and can connect to all those services that you pretend your NAT protects.

> I can connect totally new PC to router with NAT and not be owned in matters of minutes by some botnet.

You are constantly confusing firewalls and NAT. That is done by a stateful firewall, not by a NAT.

> My router might be exposed but it is something I know. All machines behind router are perfectly fine for remote vulnerabilities.

That is an extremely naive perspective.
So, you should not be surprised (but perhaps you are anyway) that how to work around not having DNSSEC on end systems is exactly what this work was about. Specifically, the idea is you shove DNSSEC RRs into TLS. Now the client doesn't need working DNSSEC, because the DNSSEC records were delivered with the connection. Hence the pinning question.

My criticism is not necessarily constructive. ;) But it's not too hard to imagine something along the lines of arXiv combined with a rating/commenting system not unlike HN itself, combined with a Facebook-ish algorithm for surfacing articles relevant to each reader. The devil is in the details, of course, but it shouldn't be hard to do better than the expensive, artificially constrained, and arbitrary system we're saddled with now. The real trick will be convincing entrenched academics to switch -- I'm still not convinced this is actually possible.

The Forgotten History of 'The Oregon Trail' Game (2017)
Interesting. In the original post, I clicked on the RSS "link" towards the bottom. Firefox invited me to subscribe via "Live Bookmarks," a Firefox browser feature that may pre-date Google Reader. It's a good name for non-technical people, but I don't know how many people have used it. I'm not even sure how it works.
That article agrees with me, not you. Even in the time travel examples, the code paths unrelated to the ub can't be touched.

In other words, it can travel backward, but not sideways (which is what you originally claimed).
> why does human experimentation happen ever?

There are a lot of drugs that pass animal testing only to fail human testing. Ethics review boards are a pretty good, but imperfect way to moderate the harm of human experimentation.

This hierarchy corresponds roughly to some mix of genetic, morphological and behavioral similarity. It's obviously not arbitrary.

pvals are a lot like the weather - everyone complains about it, nobody does anything about it. Specifically, what tends to be missing from these conversations is a good alternative - the author seems to be asking for false discovery rates/q values. Or maybe effect sizes? The reality is one size doesn't fit all, and the most useful statistic depends on the context. Oh, and the target: good luck submitting your work to a biological journal without pvals. I'm sure the editor will briefly marvel at your courage in taking a stand as she rejects without review.

While we're on the subject: there's a tendency to appeal to larger sample sizes, as the author also mentions. Worth remembering that for some of us data isn't a thing you download from the interweb, it's something you generate - and it costs money and time to do so. (And for human subjects research, the stakes are even higher...)
REAMDE, among other problems, was one of those books where all sorts of things had to just click together or there wouldn't be a story.

Seveneves was pretty good for about half the book. Then illogical events happened that culminated in "and then a miracle (really multiple miracles) happened" which really stretched my suspension of disbelief for the last part.
The example was in 2D. The reader is able to generalize from there, we hope, no? :)
There are different features sizes in the Z direction and different feature sizes in the XY plane. When it comes to XY, the smallest features size is probably the gate length. When it comes to Z, the gate oxide width is probably the smallest at 1-2nm. We have something called atomic layer deposition which gives control over single atomic layer thicknesses.
While electric buses are almost certainly an emissions win compared to the no doubt primitive and dirty Chinese diesel buses, I doubt it is it fair to call them zero-emission? China burns a lot of coal for electrical power.
It's my impression that the images get lossily compressed upon upload so not even sure if they even had an alternative here.

> ...in the negative 200 degrees Celsius [392 degrees Fahrenheit] atmosphere...

I wonder if this mistake was made by a human or a computer.
It is not about true or false hypotheses generation. It is about likely and false hypotheses.

When we start to treat the hypotheses as "true" instead of "likely", we fall into a trap of not being able to reconsider the past evidence in the light of new evidence. We hold onto the "truths" of previous hypotheses instead of taking a fresh look.

An example of this is the current model used for astrophysics, where the basic "truth" that is the consensus of the majority working in the area is that "gravity" is the only significant force operating at distances above macroscopic. I use "gravity" because there is much debate in various areas as to what this force actually is.

There is evidence that our explanations are either incomplete or wrong. Yet this fundamental "truth" is unquestioned in the majority and where it is questioned, those questioners become personae non gratae.

It happens in the climate change debate. Here the "truth" is that the causes are anthropomorphic. So if you question that "truth", you are persona non grata. Yet, the subject is so complex that we do know to what extent, if much at all, human activity changes the climate over long periods of time. To question the "truth" of essential anthropomorphic causes to climate change means that detailed investigations into the actual causes do not get undertaken if they do not support the "truth" hypothesis.

In real life, scientists are people with the same range of foibles and fallibilities as everyone else. Just because one is "smart" doesn't mean one is clear-headed and logical. Just because the "scientific consensus" is for one model or another doesn't make that "scientific consensus" any more true than an alternative model that explains what we see.

We need to stop getting uptight about our favourite models and those who dispute them. We need to be able to take fresh looks at the data and see if there are alternatives that may provide a better working model. We also need to get away from considering successful models as "truth" and more as the "current successful working" models.

Yep, it’s not zero emissions it’s like 75% less emissions (or whatever you get from adding the generator efficiency plus regenerative braking plus renewable sources.)
Per https://github.com/letsencrypt/boulder/blob/master/bdns/dns.... it seems they round robin.

I don't purchase vehicles that get less than 30mpg, so his crack really isn't out of line. Especially considering his Volt is a plug-in that can be in all-electric mode most of its time.

A basic gasoline sedan can still often get 30mpg, so you don't have to go to subcompacts or hybrids to get decent gas mileage.
I love to flip that around in an interview before it even comes up, one of the 3 things I start out any interview with is:

"I'm your Google, anything you'd need to look up just ask me and I'll give you the answer".

Great way to take the pressure off plus it gives you a good idea on how well they ask questions/are comfortable leaning on others. It's a huge plus if I can get a reasonable candidate to admit that there might be parts of the problem at hand they don't understand.
