I've been to Tangier and the accent there is truly strange. It has a very archaic sound, for sure. And it's not just the accent, there are grammatical differences as well. One branch of my family is from the Great Smoky Mountains region of Appalachia. The accents and speech there also have archaic features due to isolation and influences from Scottish, Irish, and Welsh settlers.

Some years ago, I read Ben's father David Crystal's book "Pronouncing Shakespeare" and it has a whole chapter on how they reconstructed the original pronunciation. In Shakespeare's time, they did, in fact, write about elocution quite a bit, and some clues come from there. And, as others have noted, you see rhymes and puns show up when you revert to the old pronunciations. As I recall, Crystal claimed that he thinks they got it at least 80% right.

This is a good write-up. I remember reading through the kernel source code trying to understand this a few months ago because I was curious about what it would take to add binary whitelisting to the kernel. The Linux source code is not too hard to understand (if you have some background in how OS's work and know C). Especially if you have a topic that you want to know about.

Vermont is a wonderful natural bucolic place to live.

Unfortunately, I discovered the hard way that the problem they are trying to solve is likely far more intractable than that program.

I co-founded a software/networking biz in VT some years ago. We really thought it was great, loved the lifestyle -- e.g., literally step out the door at lunch for a run or mtn bike in the woods, or walking meetings in the fields or woods -- just awesome!

We thought it'd be easy to convince others to come up and grow with us.

Wrong.

Ultimately had to move to north of Boston, then grew & sold.

I really wish more people would 'get it', but it just didn't work that way. Seeing that socialization seems paradoxically more city-oriented now despite far better connectivity tech, I'm even less optimistic now about it.

I really hope I'm wrong and they can kickstart a tech-in-the-woods common lifestyle... and at least with this program, a few dozen people will enjoy some great years there!

The author tries to slander an entire group of people by implying that their being white and male caused them to hate on her, I'm in no way denying the existence of fanboys but this is petty namecalling at best.
Weird, I've never come across this usage of the word "nemesis" (although the dictionary indicates it is correct). Still, I think the author would have been using the more common meaning of the word "nemesis" as a rival one can not defeat (or even in more dilute usage, simply a long standing rival).
If you’re moved by money, you would choose New Hampshire for the no income tax if choosing between the two. Vermont is 6.8% over 37k.
> That 21% tax rate relies on paying employees more?

I'm not sure what you're asking.

The 35 -> 21 change is the actual corporate tax rate change that happened end of last year in the US.

You don't _have_ to pay your employees more to be taxed at the 21% rate. But at the new tax rate you _can_ pay your employees more and till make more of a profit.

So in the end the whole question is where the money that would have been paid in taxes goes instead. It could be going to stock buybacks, dividends, investment in the company, raises for employees, or just sitting in the company bank account. In real life the answer is probably "all of the above" and the proportions vary.

Again, I'm not sure whether I answered your question, because I'm not sure what you're asking.

Interesting point - one I hadn't considered. While I'm not trying to discount your valid concerns, Linux does have one other thing in it's favour and that is that files still need an executable bit to be set in order for binfmt_misc to even get called. Whereas on Windows the only requirement for something to be executable is the file extension to have an association with an interpreter. So on Linux you wouldn't have the same default behaviour because that executable bit isn't set by default.

Moreover, if you can get around that executable bit problem then you're no worse of with binfmt_misc than you would be without since you could legitimately create a text file called "cat.jpg" with a Bash shebang and that would launch Bash in the same was a somescript.sh might.

Of course, you could take things one step further and say if a malicious actor has access to your system then they might get around the execution bit problem by just calling the interpreter directly (eg "bash somescript.sh" or the /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 /bin/sleep 30 example in the article). But that requires the actor has remote code execution rights rather than just permissions to write to the file system. And honestly by that point you've already lost the game anyway.
It comes down to how you measure. People doing well have a high quality of life in pretty much the entire United States. People at the bottom, less so.

I grew up in Canada and in the 70's and 80's when I ordered something from the US or elsewhere, it would be shipped to me and I would get a notice in the mail that a package was waiting for me along with the amount of taxes that I owed. That's a nice way to handle it because I could order from anywhere in the world and every small vendor across the planet didn't need to understand Canadian tax codes. I suspect if all those companies had to collect and remit taxes to the Canadian government, they would have just refused to ship there. That's the part that would sadden me.
Agreed that the fine for a company like Honda appears very reasonable. My only point is that their behavior was more sloppy than malicious or 'terrible' - and sloppy in a way that many, many companies are sloppy. And this size fine for a small company would be very painful - maybe fatal.

I was talking about the one that's been going on since 2003, but take your pick. I don't need to have been to Iraq before that to know that a very large fraction of Iraqis live in mud houses with no air conditioning, running water, or sewer systems, and always have. The reason those things are missing is not because American troops stole your air conditioners. It's because the average Iraqi doesn't have a standard of living adequate to afford them.

In 2002 a novel came out in the UK. I priced on amazon.com and it was only available at ca. $100 from people who had probably read it on the plane back from UK. I priced it at amazon.co.uk and bought it. It was about $60 or $70 on my doorstep. Not a great price, because it was probably much less when it got expurgated and published in the US. But much less than $100.

As Joel Sposky said, even the best, most necessary product doesn't sell itself magically. Setting up a website, selling on Amazon basically won't make you close a single sale.

You must devote a day or two a week to sales and marketing, making noise on LinkedIn and a blog, and awesome videos, then connect to people and propose them a demo of your service. That's crucial to market fit, you must have at least some prospective customers to be sure your products solves an actual pain for them.

No, you assert that that's the context.

I assert that inventors and inventions need not be shackled to their origin.

Case in point, it's entirely possible that ARPANET was used by foreign powers to subvert American Democracy in the 2016 election. I'm not advocating that, I'm saying it's worth recognizing.

You can retort, yes, that's continued weaponization.

And I can respond, that I can want to work on altruistic internet projects, and not feel "guilt" that the internet was invented by the military. And if someone subverts my project to military uses, I have every right to voice my objections.

Howdoo: trustworthy social media with crypto token earning
There are hundreds of platforms for social interaction and introducing a brand new platform might be risky, but a platform with a new dimension sounds interesting even in this high competitive marketplace, Howdoo is a messaging application which handovers the power to the users. It knows the importance of one’s time and value of data.
Almost all existing platform have been stealing the data without even notice to the owner (like Facebook and YouTube, unlike them Howdoo not even protect the data but also incentivized them the crypto token (uDoo) for their participation and sharing data after Proof of Contribution for fair and transparent reward. Say no totrust breeching social networks and join hands with the Howdoo, the trustworthy media.
This blockchain based social interaction forum is decentralized, encrypted, fair, transparent, and immutable. The Howdoo will have worldwide access with international money transfer availability with insignificant fees. Howdoo will reduce the risks of cyberbullying, misuse of data, offensiveness and harmful data. So this would be the media that everyone desires.
What’s more? Then let me tell you that you actually get paid for sharing the data and viewing the advertisements in the news feed. The token sale is ending on June 12, 2018.

State Websites Are Hackable and That Could Compromise Election Security
California...and the West Coast of the U.S. is an interesting place in that it's geographically divided from the rest of the country by a couple of major mountain ranges and large deserts. In addition, something like almost 50% of the state is unusable federal land (national parks, military bases, etc.)

Despite this, it's one of the major agricultural producers in the world due to it's variety of climate zones and long growing seasons. I'm not sure of the current status, but agriculture used to be a larger industry for the state than tech and film combined.

One might think that its geographic location would be a problem, and cross-Pacific trade isn't as big as cross-Atlantic, but it's just so large and populated as a state, and it turns out that intra-Americas trade is far dominant to either oceanic competitor. Just selling its products and services to the U.S. alone brings it enormous economic activity. But it turns out that most of what it produces also has ample foreign markets as well (tech, film, food).
I used to use thttpd, but it is showing its age a little due to lack of updates.

For example one ommission that bit me is the lack of native-support for the X-Forwarded-For header, making it hard to use behind a reverse proxy. At the time I last looked the most common-patch for this didn't support IPv6 addresses which was a real show-stopper. Of course this was back in 2011 so things might have changed:

https://blog.steve.fi/ipv6_and_thttpd.html

The original author stopped accepting patches to thttpd back in 2004 though, unless something has changed recently it's a little hard to recommend it for general-purpose use. That's lead to divergence in features between a few distributions.

(I run maybe 30 websites on one box. I run each one under a different UID, with a dedicated instance of lighttpd for each site - then I use haproxy/apache as the front-end. In the past I used thttpd, because I wanted things to be minimal, but I realized that thttpd was too minimal.)
The businesses they fund have been interesting (in flexport's case great), but far from gutsy given that they are only putting $150ksh per business.

That’s a bit of a stretch. There are plenty of video courses in EdX which are generally of a very high quality as they are produced by real institutions, with real lecturers, not random people off YouTube.

And EdX is free, you pay only for a certificate if you need/want one. With no pricing tricks based on web/app either.

There are diminishing returns for cleaner water past some point, as you say. Cheap and unhealthy foods is a well known major reason, but there are other major factors too.

American cities place low priority on walkability: it's usually cheaper for the real estate industry to build out rather than build up. Regardless of if that's intentional urban planning or not, it reduces the minimum amount of exercise people get.

Another major reason is infrastructure maintenance. I'll bet the recent leaded water issues in many cities made a non trivial dent in America's longevity stats.

Finally, my personal take is that this may be a side effect of some elements of American society. Maybe it's a combination of it being such a large and diverse country. I grew up in America, but I've been living in smaller, more homogenous Asian societies the last few years. Homogenous demographics have their problems, but it seems like they're generally less willing to screw over their fellow country people for a quick buck. (China is worse than America in this regard, so I added a large population to my hypothesis.)
And yet, what's the relative valuations?

In my experience, proportionally, more smart young people who have the skills for tech work prefer living in cities with other like minded people. So if you want to hire them, you have to be there otherwise someone else will employ them.
This is a pretty common response so I think its worth pointing out that there are a lot of reasons why you might have a model you think might be able to predict the stock market but are not actively using it to make money.

* You may not be eligible to trade that instrument because of where you live or who you are

* You may have found an edge based on historical data in one instrument and expect it could work for another but lack the data necessary to confirm

* You may not have the capital necessary to trade at sufficient scale

* You may not have the programming skills to turn a mathematical model into an build and maintain a high-frequency trading bot with adequate risk controls (waaaaaaaaaay different skillset)

* You may have found a prediction who's error rate is within the transaction costs and thus needs to be traded at higher volume (lower tx costs) to confirm

And before anyone thinks "why not just negotiate to sell it to someone who does" they get hundreds of random people doing that every day so your chances of getting noticed are between slim and none.

Now, what is an effective way to benefit from a market prediction model is to publish it. Those people may hire you to continue to develop it further or to refine it for other markets you didn't think of. No model lasts forever, so having demonstrated the ability to find one makes it more likely you will do so in the future, thus should attract big money salaries from people with the capital for your next one.

Not to say that these are legit, just pointing out its not hand-wavvy dismissive is all. I wish authors would start a paper with something like this just to address this inevitable comment. "We aren't trading this because we can't trade SLURM futures" would really help readers out if they also can't.
