> An argument can be made the rental is worth it for the ability to tell them "if I can't get x speed off this Ethernet port, it's your fault, hands down, so fix it". Whether or not it's worth $10-15 a month depends on how much you loathe arguing with Comcast on the phone.

Have you actually done this? Because I have, and even after telling them, "I'm paying for 25 down and using your modem I'm barely pulling down 7." Their suggestion was that I should upgrade to 50 down.

I told them to go to Hell and switched to Fios.
First, no, it prevents much more attacks.

Second, the naive and silly attacks are the default definition of SQL injection -- and the most commonly found holes, so even if it just prevented those that would be still a huge help. Nothing statically ensures that at runtime except the programmer's due diligence.

Completely reasonable comment downvoted by the Elon Musk fan brigade. C'mon folks.
I was thinking - it's not an area I know much about really - but if something like that happened in the Cambrian you could probably figure out what by looking at the DNA of explosion descendents and species that were not involved and seeing what sequences were in the first group but not the second.

Am I crazy or does systematic tolerance (not legalization) of drug use yield more drug use? Or at least more demanding drug users?

Likewise, does systematic tolerance of homelessness yield more homelessness?

Seems like condoning these behaviors encourages more of the same, while at the same time allowing those who partake to push the envelope even further.

Anyone have insight on this? I couldn’t find any studies that measure exactly what I’d like to measure.

I'd happily cough up the cost of router rental for this ability, but I never seem to get it. With my own router, support calls stonewall when the rep blames my router. Without it, they persist a little longer and then generally shrug and say they have no further solutions and it's probably a temporary issue.

I'm used to getting 1/2 of the speed I pay for, that's happened with every ISP I've ever had, but lately Comcast has been moving down towards 1/5 and raising prices. I'd be willing to go back to a rented router to get that fixed, but at the moment it looks like their retention department will be my best hope.

This is a great example of how much information there is in the design of even simple things, the way in which one design decision constrains others (why not an iron core? Because the magnet would tend to stick to it. But why a magnet? So we can push it. But why push it? Because it is easier to tell when the bob has just passed bottom then when it is about to get there) synergy (with a magnet, we can use the induced voltage in the coil to measure the movement) and KISS (a simple knife-edge bearing.)

Yep, after trying this a few times I never got anything better than "might be temporary issues with traffic in your area" or "we have this more expensive package..." Which doesn't actually surprise me, since I doubt tech support can fix a problem that's essentially "we blatantly lied to you when we sold you this service".
lmao, if you read the book, you'll see that this is not in fact the case. The Chinese treatment of the British envoys in fact caused public sentiment in Great Britain to turn against China, because the public had such high hopes for the mission in building friendship.

You don't have any proof. All you have are a collection of random pieces of supposed "evidence", and you're making significant leaps to desperately connect them.

This, and the fact that you insist on calling Merkel left wing, despite proof to the contrary, only supports the conclusion that you are completely off your rocker.

In reality, they do credibly advocate this and San Francisco is a key example:

> When Tillman said he saw his project as necessary so people like his daughter could afford to come back and live in the city, one particularly motivated activist said she wished his daughter was killed in a terrorist attack.

> Parroting many of the Mission activists' concerns, Commissioner Rich Hillis complained that the design was "bulky, and a bit out of character" with the neighborhood, while Commissioner Kathrin Moore said that erecting an 84-foot tall building would be like "plopping a foreign object into this area and not thinking about the consequences." Commissioner Dennis Richards said, "I think a project absolutely belongs here. The question is what kind of project."

Central bearded dragon's are ~1lb reptiles and can do 25MPH which is faster than most people.

So, at least predator dinosaurs where likely faster than most people. We might do fine over long distances, but overall we are fairly slow.

As to being warm blooded, that's less meaningful for very large creatures. Body feathers are also a sign something is trying to conserve body heat which is a sign it's warm blooded.
What is DFS?
Yes, iPhones allow storing data that can’t leave the device. Otherwise OTP apps would be pointless.

I don’t know the details, but some apps use it to store OTP secrets. Eg. if you use the DUO app, your secrets will be backed up, but they can only be restored on your phone. (was quite a hassle to reset 2FA on all the websites after my phone was replaced in warranty repair)

I owned an electric scooter a few months ago. It lasted only about two months before I put too much weight on the handlebars and permanently damaged the hub motor.

This was probably inevitably going to happen as the hub motor is constantly in direct contact with the ground, which means that a bad impact can dislodge a magnet.

I wanted to fix it myself, and the cost of the part would have had been almost the same price as just scrapping the scooter and buying a new one. Additionally, I had trouble going beyond about 5 miles, with the lights off and with conservative battery use, before running out of power.

The blog has 4 links, it basically quotes only from these four links. That are:

(Slightly off-topic) My understanding was that HotSpot and other JITs are able to to profile-guided optimizations and the like (such as a polymorphic inline cache) to produce the best possible assembly. How does the assembly produced by these AOT compilers compare? Fast startup time and reduced memory footprint is great, but how will performance compare on compute-intensive workloads?

> cities like NYC and San Francisco are trying to have their cake and eat it to. Liberal residents want to keep their suburban-style single family neighborhoods while simultaneously appearing to care about skyrocketing rents.

Those two cites are not the same at all. NYC has few suburban style neighborhoods and the ones we do have aren't that relevant to these discussions.

New York is at least somewhat functional as a large city, and can and does permit the building of massive amounts of high rise residential development. From where I stand in downtown Brooklyn, the skyline has become nearly unrecognizable in recent years. And predictably, rents are starting to fall noticeably.

San Francisco doesn't operate this way at all.
The easy solution is to keep the provided modem, and when there's an issue, just swap it over and replicate. Preemptively factory reset the modem, too, which is no big deal anyway when you're only using it for troubleshooting.

As a non-webdev who only have a surface-level understanding of SQL: is that a thing people do regularly? Like, you literally append a bunch of strings together dynamically every request to construct queries?
For the amount of data it processes it can be slow. I used it to render a category taxonomy of just maybe 100 nodes and it was a perceptible duration. The representation was so direct and clear that I kept it and just cached it server-side I validating went any category was changed. Also had to ensure there were no cycles in the data when saving changes.
I'll have a confession here that will make me sound like an asshole. I used to love to travel, alone. I went, made summary plans or even spontaneous ones, savored the place, got lost, walked a lot, got into weird situations, interacted with the locals.

Then I got a girlfriend. I love her, but now I don't like traveling anymore. Now traveling means, plans, finding the _optimal_ place to stay, everything has to be settled beforehand, the housing has to have some standard of decency, now we have _objectives_ and no time for spontaneous whims.
There are plenty of great examples of modern day leaders versus poor ones. I would argue that tech has the best, and most clearly defined spectrum of leadership. This ranges from the moronic, buzzword-driven MBA's to the CEO's cultivating trillion dollar companies. Even a changing of hands for CEO at Microsoft has shown clear, well-defined improvements for the company over the past few years.

That said, I'd definitely agree with you about people being a species driven by dominance hierarchies more than capacity or will to lead. Achieving management status is a reward, not a role that requires its own skill sets and ambitions. Which is probably where much of the white collar work place suffering comes from.
His critiques, while vulgar seem pretty fair and I hope he finds a new position somewhere.
Is this serious? It seems to prevent SQL injection by only allowing statically defined strings to be interpolated. So basically not allowing any kind of dynamic or user input.
On the other hand, bad neighbors ARE a thing. There are tenants who play loud music day and night. Tenants who smoke in non-smoking units. Tenants whose dogs bark at everyone walking by. It seems like management has their hands tied and it's already quite difficult to evict, at least in cities where I've lived.
Ah yes, the “you’re not qualified to judge made up models” attack. Got heem.

Every challenge he puts forth requires at best high school level critical thinking skills.
What is a basic need? Something that you can't live without. A bare minimum that you can live with: Clean water, food, internet access, education, safety, housing, healthcare, a mattress, a fan in the summer and a heater in the winter, a mean to get to work are all basic needs. In most parts of the US, a driveable old car that doesn't break down every month is a basic need; a new, very safe, very reliable car is a luxury. Old people might be able to argue a dog being a basic need. But young non-disabled people who can go out and make friends saying I absolutely have to have a dog, I think, is pushing the definition of a basic need way too far. A dog is definitely a luxury to me, especially in sub/urban areas.

Maybe your (and my) parents used to spend very little for a dog and we have to spend a fortune now, but it doesn't make having a dog a basic need. It's just as good of an argument as they used to dream about a projector and now you can get one for $200. The dynamics of having things changes: Being able to get something cheap doesn't make it a basic need.

I am speaking as a dogs lover and the only reason I don't have a dog now is that I don't think I can afford a dog.
I recall reading a paper where they inferred the dinosaur body temperature from Ca isotope ratio in a tooth. Came closer to warm blooded than cold blooded. Interesting research too.
I think the biggest advantage of this particular system is openness. As the linked page says, you can modify any piece of code in the system, including CPU microcode. That means no secret operating system running somewhere you can't touch (i.e. Intel Management Engine), and no opaque blobs that could be doing anything.
That's because they're getting pushed out of corporate jobs at that age.

Ya, but that's pretty out there. The big problem with vulnerabilities is millions of hackers from all over the world can actively exploit them at the same time. If you limit it to someone digging in your trash, you would have to be a pretty high value target for someone to go through that.

I wouldn't expect anyone in my neighborhood to go through that for free internet.

There's a theory I heard somewhere, that the giant planets also played a vital role in the development of life on earth. Basically their gigantic gravity well acts like cosmic hoover sucking in all the flotsam and jetsam that's constantly flying here and there.

> An argument can be made the rental is worth it for the ability to tell them "if I can't get x speed off this Ethernet port, it's your fault, hands down, so fix it".

Unless you hook the modem directly up to the cable coming from the pole/ground then they can always blame the cabling in your house.

Even when Comcast sends a tech out to your house to punch holes in the walls, floor, and ceiling to install cables they don't guarantee that install.

I had an issue years ago and Comcast insisted it was an issue with my house cabling and refused to do anything but send a tech out at my expense. When he knocked on the door I lead him around to the side of my house where the cable came down from the pole. I had my modem sitting there on a bucket plugged into that cable and an extension cord powering it. It wasn't until I showed him with my laptop plugged directly into the Ethernet port that it wasn't establishing a signal lock that they sent a bucket truck out to inspect the lines and fix the problem.
Nice to see us getting closer to the long awaited day when you can "order up an ATX form factor POWER motherboard, throw it in a case, add some RAM and boot it up". BUT... man, the price. Wowzers... This is still a bit steep for a hobbyist or anybody operating outside a corporate setting.

Still, it's progress, so I'm not going to complain too much. And hopefully one day this catches on and as volumes scale up, the prices will start to drop.
DNA has a half-life. If you find 100gr of "intact" cells, it's not going to be a problem to extract the DNA.
I'm not a doctor but I've had a herniated disc for 23 years. Your mileage may vary.

Let me tell you what didn't work first. Pain meds didn't work. NSAIDs will tear your stomach up even with short-term use. Don't use them for more than a few days.

Being careful didn't work. No amount of being careful works because your muscles will always atrophy to make you a little weaker than you need to be to go about your daily routine.

It took me, 10 years to figure that out. You need to go full tilt the other direction.

As another fellow said here, walking, and then running. Will build strength gently. But even with diligence, I would still injure my back twice a year during the course of normal life activities.

Then, someone told me about a TENS machine. Get one that can output 100mv (I can recommend one if you'd like), and use it when your back is hurt. They are miracle workers.

The thing that freed me from pain was this-- the "stiff-legged deadlift". I very slowly worked my way up from no weight, to about 125 which seems to be all I can reasonably do.

You can't do this in a vacuum, you need to do it as a part of a whole program.

Let me know if I can be of any assistance.
You suppose there are other problems?

That is the entire problem. The entire problem of building more dense housing - even 3-4 stories in SF is negotiating every single thing besides the literal physical feasibility of construction.

If your startup doesn't think this is the key problem to solve, I'm not sure you have a complete grasp of what you're trying to do here.
Are we solving the memory storage mistery
Recently, scientists published an article claiming they have transferred memories between sea snails. (https://www.nytimes.com/2018/05/15/science/memory-transfer-snails.html) and yesterday, another group of scientists published an article claiming that memory is probably stored in discrete format (https://www.technologyreview.com/s/611165/does-the-brain-store-information-in-discrete-or-analog-form/) and more, the format is probably a 4-bit encode. That's exactly what a RNA is made of (4 components). Omg!

Are we finally solving the memory storage mistery? Cool!
It is quite common to build up a query. You can and should still use parameters, but I have lost count of the times I have seen code like this:

In a way it is arbitrary, because anything else would imply meaning or intent. Mutations are, as far as we know, arbitrary.

> I can now call Comcast whenever anything slows

Have you done this and had success? If I expected having a rented router to actually get me better speed and service, I'd probably just deal with the cost. Even having firmware and hardware upgrades handled automatically would be worth something. But my experience is that rented routers are worse than purchased ones and never upgraded, while I get a 0% success rate from Comcast customer service regardless.

Perhaps business internet is different, if you actually had a tech out?

This reminds me of rice cookers, which seem to work like magic yet are actually crazy simple devices - just a simple thermocouple that shuts the pot off when the temperature reaches above boiling point (meaning there's no more water left to be absorbed/turned into steam).

It's the sort of thing that means that even super cheap rice cookers from the supermarket work great - that's all I've ever used.
