A lot of Indians got annoyed that they are double barrelled as Hindu Arabic, when the original source was India. The arabs then took it and created other concepts. Its like calling English alphabet English-American.
I found fail2ban is necessary but not sufficient. It requires some initial number of failed attempts before the attacker is blocked.

To prevent even those initial attempts, I use multiple layers of defenses such as country based blocking or blacklist based blocking. If an attacker slips through despite all this, I blacklist them manually in /etc/hosts.deny.

If there is any interest, my scripts are in https://github.com/KamarajuKusumanchi/hosts.deny/

It makes sense that our sense of time and space would be linked - how else does one perceive the discrete passage of time but by sensing discrete spatial differences in our surroundings? The hands of a clock, the position of the sun, the water level of a draining pool, etc..

Is it any different conceptually than extending the handshake from analog modems to include the data? From what I hear it sounds like <handshake>{data}.

I assume you can't have an "open" connection because the sound is the transmission medium, so it would have to be constantly talking to keep the line open.

A lot of cool possibilities here!
Maybe I didn't word myself clearly enough - my reason for using Emacs from the terminal emulator is working from a small, portable machine on the go, and pick up stuff where I left it. It so happens that my travel machine is a Windows tablet/netbook, and Emacs has some performance quirks there. SSH-ing to a beefy desktop machine (that also runs an instance of the product I'm working on) saves me from fiddling with Tramp, and lets me almost seamlessly switch between travel mode and working on the desktop.
My friend from Houston, TX says it's very common over there. My guess is that it's due to how chaotic the roads are in Houston, so a 5 minute drive versus a 10 minute drive makes a world of a difference.
Regard for natural resources is actually a pretty mainstream idea in economics. The concepts of tragedy of the commons, public goods, pollution as a negative externality, etc. are quite well-established.

Neither of your requirements are true in the least. It’s a great idea because he’s penalizing himself for failed builds in a really fun way, with no waste because it’s going to a good purpose. It’s called “win-win” and it’s a good thing.
I wonder how widespread Lyme Disease has to get before the economic incentives to develop a new vaccine reach a tipping point.

There used to be a vaccine but it was discontinued because of insufficient demand.

https://www.niaid.nih.gov/diseases-conditions/lyme-disease-v...

"In April 2002, GSK announced that even with the incidence of Lyme disease continuing to rise, sales for LYMErix declined from about 1.5 million doses in 1999 to a projected 10,000 doses in 2002."

How do we square this with the number of cases rising so much over the last few years?

I was with you on that first paragraph, then you had to bring in the "will of the people."

Democracy simply replaces "smart people" with "a majority of voters," which is almost always a minority of the population. So instead of the ruling elites determining what's best for everyone, now you have a larger group of people -- still a minority -- determining what's good for themselves and foisting it upon everyone else.
This is the proper way to set up the disincentive, and you'll find it recommended in many places.

Fascinating article. Time is a human construct, it's interesting to me how the fundamentals of the planet - sunrise and sunset, the two solstice moments as the planet tilts into the other direction to provide more of less sunlight - are overshadowed by human habit patterns. The 'Brain’s Space-Time Matrix' sounds like our true underpinnings, as opposed to our concepts of time by the clock and calendar year..
To be fair, the software had been first written in the early 1990s, so I can imagine it was a rational decision back then.

I feel like this article does not substantiate its core claim, "clever coders can beat tech giants." The main evidence given by the authors is that because Google lost to a much smaller company, Fast.ai, on a toy problem (training a model to 93% accuracy on the CIFAR-10 dataset) that small-time AI researchers can beat the big guys at their own game. This feels like a straw man argument and I'm not convinced.

That said, I do think smaller, independent AI research groups can be impactful even if they aren't going to beat Google in a head-to-head competition; they just have to find problems the tech giants aren't working on yet :).

The dignity and rights we got, are not because we are some sort of superior beeings, but because we all together decided to turn the eyes away from the mess and give even the most primal beeing, sitting in a cardbord box near the train station, rights and respect, disregarding of birth, status, accomplishment and intellect.

The debate is not about wether we the people need behavioural checks and balances, the questions is how to prevent those enforcing and enacting them from doing that with similar runaway retardations.
I have no answer to that.
Fingers crossed there will be a vaccine back in production within a couple years.
I highly encourage the book it is based on. It is gold:

https://www.amazon.com/Nonviolent-Communication-Language-Lif...

It is one of those compact books that are quite effective. Other books are a bit heavy and you almost feel like you have to memorize flow charts. This book is fairly formulaic, but with easy to remember formulas. A lot of the book may seem a little too soft/touchy, but fortunately when I read it I was reading other books that go into the details of the psychology behind communications (which this one doesn't), and there is a lot to back up the advice in the book.

Mind you, if this isn't your default style of communication, it will take a lot of practice (and perhaps years) to get there. I think for me it was about a year of trying before my first successful use of it in a hostile conversation. It's hard to stick to trying something if you don't see signs of success inside of a year.
On about the first page of Malraux's Anti-Memoirs he writes of asking a priest what he had learned from hearing all those thousands of confessions. The priest said, a) in general, there are no grownups; b) people are sadder than they appear.

Germany is a special case. Nazism literally wiped the entire German intelligentsia, both physically (killing Jews and leftists, removing freedom of research, and eventually turning the country in a bombed-out wasteland that instigated the emigration of anyone with the opportunity to do so) and culturally (as it tainted anything that could have even remotely contributed to the rise of Nazism). The newer generations were suddenly rudderless and self-loathing. You could make a similar argument with Russia before and after Stalinism, or Italy before and after Fascism. Totalitarism destroys culture.

I don't particularly agree on the article's premise, but I don't think bringing Germany in the picture helps the debate.
I agree with you.

To add in another reason why I get a little sad every time I visiting my buddy and his parrot:

Ah, I was wondering who was subsidizing my free shipping. Thank you!
The point being made is very strong. The person sending an article SHOULD be obliged to send their own additional thoughts along with a link!

Sadly, non-technical people simply WILL NOT attempt to understand what they're reading. So the real question is not the etiquette of the sender but of the receiver: do you HAVE to summarize and explain the content to the person who sent it to you?

I think the title of the article would be stronger if it were more generalized since this happens to ANYONE with a well-known area of expertise such as mathematicians, scientists, fans of book series, beekeepers, etc. I can't even imagine what nutrition experts have to put up with from friends and family. :-)

The experimentation of ideas around what money is is certainly not "nonproductive" and to dismiss it like that is silly. He might not like it for any reason at all and that's fine, but to call it nonproductive is ridiculous.
> It illustrates decisively that a language that doesn't hide async behavior balkanizes libraries into (at least) two camps for everyone's detriment.

That article simply begs the question. Or rather, I think the author has missed the point. Advocates of Futures-based APIs for example don't regard the balkanization as a bad thing. That's the point -- asynchronous functions really are different, they really do accept and return different types of values in the form of callbacks and futures.

Threading and shared memory don't solve anything, btw. These are implementation details. This is not about implementation so much as it's about expressing contracts between modules. Go channels are, frankly, rather useless but still, to my point, they don't try to hide asynchronous behavior. Go could've gone whole hog and provided yield and subsumption but I think they wisely realized that concurrency at scale requires shared nothing message passing. Or rather the essential insight of CSP (and Actors, and PPP and so many other models) is that reifying events and the flow of events is a good thing.

(Though I've heard it proposed that this is just because the limited human mind is "event oriented". Super intelligent martians and AIs would use Dataflow[1] languages to talk about the illusion of time. They might see the world as a giant spreadsheet.)

> Making the programmer deal with async nature (even with await, yield, etc) adds additional unnecessary details for the programmer to worry about and makes the program harder to reason about.

Again, I think it's kind of wacky to think that the async nature is "unnecessary" or accidental for the programmer. The solution the programmer is trying to model is asynchronous. The whole point is to allow the end User to do stuff while you talk to the database or process multiple trades at the same time. You can't wish this asynchronous nature of the problem away because its asynchronous nature, rather than being an unnecessary detail, is the problem. A lot of very smart people have spent a lot of time trying to "solve" concurrency by making it invisible. All failed. The issues around concurrency are a problem that must be addressed head on.

Types are the abstraction that let us be very precise for describing how a system can change. Using the type system to bring the problems of concurrency to the forefront so that they can reasoned about and enforced by the compiler is absolutely absolutely a good thing. People don't like this though because concurrent APIs are "viral". One asynchronous function now requires all callers to either block or become asynchronous themselves. But this was always the case anyways. As Morpheus would say, "How would this be different from any other day?"

Thanks for the link, but I note that it reports on what the White House says is being donated. Is there any available verification of actual numbers? Given past history I wouldn't trust Trump's self reporting of charitable or similar donations until the check cleared with independent verification from the recipients - and unless it was a money order I'd probably want a month or two extra before believing it had really cleared.

Edit: for anyone who feels this is unjustified, I would love to see links to charitable organizations confirming receipt of donations from the president or the Trump Organization. Direct from the charity, confirmation to reputable news organizations, responses in interviews, anything like that - I don't want things excluded on technicalities.
Also, FWIW, the lettuce wrap version of a jimmy johns sandwich is done with Iceberg. Works really well.

> Since the same sponsors keep buying ads on podcast and most of them have coupon codes to tell them where their customers came from, they have metrics that tell them the return on investment.

This is a good point and I would love to see the value of advertising on podcasts on the direct (custom links) and indirect (awareness) outcome.
The original article very clearly states that it discusses managers having to manage makers. Some of the jobs you described definitely don't seem to fit that description, so please don't hijack the discussion.

Also, not all teams have poor management. That you worked in the film industry where supposedly people had no idea of the priorities daily says nothing about the software industry in general.

My last several jobs involved sync meetings once every 5-10 days. Every meeting took 5 to 15 minutes and we all knew exactly what to do. Intermittent meetings only happened when somebody was blocked.
Value hasn't really increased here; in fact, I'd say that ads now are a lot worse in quality than they used to be.

The difference with targeted ads is only that users are more likely to click on them. It's driven the cost per click down, and made advertising dirt cheap.

In the old model of advertising, the gizmo maker put out an ad in a reputable publication, spending quite a bit of money to do so, and got a small number of high-quality leads. With targeted advertising, the gizmo maker blasts their ad out everywhere, and, for a small amount of money, gets a large number of medium-quality leads. Overall, I'd expect they'd get more sales with the targeted advertising, simply due to casting a wider net.
He's thinking of it in investing terms, underlying asset value, cash flows, etc. Because the media asks him "Should we buy bitcoin?" every damn day of the year.

I'd be more interested to hear what he thinks makes for a good currency, inflation vs. deflation, freedom of transfer, protection against forfeiture, etc.

Does he also think that the US Dollar is rat poison because it's not a productive asset? He holds like $80b cash.

"But bitcoin has high fees" well yeah, there are 1,000 newer cryptos with lower fees. (and plenty of scams)

"But local stores don't use it" well yeah, nobody used credit cards in the 40s either. (and now cash is dead)

"But it's not user friendly" well yeah, neither was the internet until ~2000. (i've seen nearly zero progress in crypto here, btw)

Strangely enough you can get your dog vaccinated but not yourself.

>As of December 2016, a Phase I clinical trial was announced for a new candidate vaccine developed by the French company Valneva. The vaccine is similar to the SmithKlineBeecham product, but the vaccine is multivalent, targeting six Borrelia OspA serotypes. The trial will test vaccine safety, and a later Phase II trial will test efficacy.[xi] Baxter, an Austrian company, had previously tested another vaccine candidate in a combined Phase I/II trial, but the company seems to have abandoned development.[xii]

The only time I've been called for jury duty, they asked us various filtering questions (voir dire), one of which was "would we be able to make a decision based solely on the law itself and not circumstances or other factors?" (roughly)

I didn't answer an emphatic Yes like everyone else. When the judge asked if I was talking about jury nullification, I said not as a policy and I wouldn't do so lightly, but that I can't pretend my choices don't have consequences. Shortly thereafter I was dismissed at the request of the prosecution.

I was fine with being excluded, but I was horrified by the apparent difficulty most of the others had in answering basic logic questions. They asked questions like "if a legal restraining order says 'stay 1000 feet away', is someone who gets 990 feet away breaking the law?" and "what if they were doing so to help someone in danger, were they breaking the law?". Not only were people NOT applying only the (hypothetical) law, they were struggling to understand that that was what was happening.

One of friends who is a lawyer says that, guilty or innocent, if ever on trial he would never choose a jury trial. Until my experience I didn't understand why.

Maybe view it as art that assigns meaning to an abstraction. A failing build is pretty obscure to most people, but giving to charity makes sense.

As a programmer I can sympathize with wanting to get my head out of the clouds once in a while. Sure, my customers use my software, but my internal build processes are invisible to them.
That's interesting. It's like introducing a late fee, or penalty fee, normalized the idea that being late is OK.

Kind of like introducing a defect lane on your factory line makes the workers feel like it's OK to have defects, and deters from quality.

Buffett/Munger have always argued that Gold and other commodities are equally worthless investments based on fear and ponzi like attributes[1]. No surprise then they feel even worse about Bitcoin.

The interesting thing here is that the common response here is: "Hey that's a great theory, but in real life, I just paid off my mortgage with my proceeds from bitcoin."

While perhaps true, such rebuttals ignore the arguments being made by folks like Buffett around predictability, likelihood of a return, confidence in underlying asset value, volatility etc... So the argument isn't about whether or not you can make money on these things, it whether it's a prudent instrument to invest your money into.
