This from someone who is theoretically ok with capital punishment, but in practice opposed. I do not trust that the state gets the right people all the time. I also think it's too slow and burocratic a process to work as anything other than revenge.

If were happy with anecdata my evidence is the exact opposite. The people who've had few partners get curious and are the ones who end up having affairs, the ones who had dozens and dozens keep on the straight and narrow.

There's no doubt that saying there is a 24-month hard limit is illegal. Nothing borderline about it.

This quote sounds strange to me:

"As an example, Hypponen said he had recently spoken to a European aircraft maker that said it cleans the cockpits of its planes every week of malware designed for Android phones. The malware spread to the planes only because factory employees were charging their phones with the USB port in the cockpit.

Because the plane runs a different operating system, nothing would befall it. But it would pass the virus on to other devices that plugged into the charger."

What kind of malware would that be? Also obviously the OS is at risk since it also must have been infected to be able to pass the malware along (I'm guessing this might be the entertainment system or something and nothing critical).

In the UK they did not update the control rooms for the nuclear plants so, last time I checked (which was about a decade ago), they still looked like 1960's vintage hardware. So I was sceptical about how a computer virus could possibly affect things.

Looking for a picture of a 'modern' control room from a British nuclear plant (with not so much as a Windows XP machine in sight) I came across this story of how a decommissioned nuclear plant is now a school:

https://www.businesswest.co.uk/blog/site-berkeley-nuclear-po...

Girls and boys can go there to learn about STEM things, including our friend the atom. Clearly that talk about how toxic nuclear power plants were going to be for future generations was idle speculation and fear-mongering.
A lot of US interference is way less visible and often quite entrenched in established structures.

In Germany, US NGO's hold a lot of influence, especially on news media. [0]

In 2014 the political satire show "Neues aus der Anstalt" made these connections a topic of one of their shows, showing links between organizations, people, and political players.

Which resulted in them getting sued, by one of the people on their chart, and being forced to take the video down.

3 years later a German court ruled nothing about the video was wrong, so it wouldn't even have been needed to take down. But taken down it was and the whole topic quickly buried under other themes, like the Syrian civil war and the resulting refugee crisis.

Finding any English language sources on this is extremely difficult, and even a lot of the German sources often delve off into the far too deep ends of conspiracy theories with this. So it's not an easy topic to explore.

Assuming that the threat is real and one of the big/influential countries does that, what’s the solution? The secondary media space, i.e. non-tv-radio which are expensively licensed and controlled, is open to the influence, to categorizing, labelling and other ranking by its nature. The main force there is popularity and small money (compared to e.g. military). Is it the “aggressor” that should change or the media space that is so vulnerable now? You’re basically put down all the [mind] defenses and then complain that it was influenced. It will, dude, if not by politicians, then by advertisers and other trick dealers.

That’s all theoretic since I don’t believe that government forces are vulnerable at all. As I understand, it is just a new convenient “evil axis” to fight against. Even if you assume that Trump was heavily supported by russians, then it means that US democracy had only one viable candidate on last elections and half of the US politics were basically bought. That’s in my opinion either nonsense, or the end of US democracy.
True. As a kid I was eagerly awaiting the first week of the month for that one magazine that carried a column called “C-64 intro service” about low level intro- and demo-programming. But the pace of printed information is terribly slow, esp. if you can’t get many of them where you live.

I remember waiting for someone to explain how the “giant scroll” worked (letter the size of the whole screen, with borders removed) as I couldn’t disassemble the demo successfully. Months later, the article appeared explaining the technique. To a young inquiring mind that seemed like eternity.
> I'm inclined to agree that people who commit "crimes of skill" are better able to repay their debt to society by using their ability for good rather than rot in a cage.

I agree with the mind of this statement. The problem is: For lots of such skills, it is hard to find jobs where these are needed (for example reverse engineering). Based on my personal observation, to stay in the example, there exist much more skilled reverse engineers than jobs where these skills are useful/needed.

There are a lot of people out there that don't want to deal with Javascript or (worse) Node.js. since they consider them to be abominations. Life is too short to be spending it in these environments.

Web assembly will finally give them a way to do clientside development while avoiding the total disaster that is the Javascript ecosystem. I don't do clientside programming but as a scientist I'm -- very annoyed -- that we have settled for something as bad as Javascript, whilst better languages are languishing.
If you have a database that supports SQLMED, you can probably already query outward table data without loading/serialising between formats. You can even optionally generate an index on some systems.

MariaDB has the Connect Engine, Postgres has Foreign Data Wrappers (fdw), define an openrowset for mssql using an odbc or ole driver and config. DB2 and informix have federated options.

The author has missed a lot of detail about the breadth of options the FDW for csv provides. Just like a normal table you should define column names and ideally their types so you don’t have just ordinal/generates column names (if there is no header line), which the author does anyway for SQLite. The same problem of denormalisation exists, in which case, data scrubbing cannot be avoided; yet more serialisation eating precious cycles and memory.

My point is, read the manual for your database, it might surprise you as to what it can already do, and how much time it can save you.
I've never heard the shorthand cbf before but I can guess what it means :)
Except AD lets you do an awful lot more than this with Group Policy - you can configure and enforce endless amounts of settings on client machines from the simple - wallpaper for example - to software installs to executable restrictions...

This is a big plus for locking down mostly untrusted users (eg average employees in a larger enterprise).

> I have really no idea what you're talking about with respect to water fountains and busses.

Assuming good faith here. Let me try again.

The idea is that saying the n-word while not being black sends a signal of not caring about the word, not giving it enough weight, not caring about the plight of black people. Well, I'm saying that's not true. That information is not in the signal.

Suppose a young white person is sitting in a cafe. They raise a phone to their ear and uses the n-word the way that has become normal, to mean man/person: "hey, what up my (n-word)?"

If I overheard that, I wouldn't think anything of it. They're greeting a friend. I just don't have any notions about how only people of certain ethnicities are allowed to use certain words.

If you did have such notions, you might be offended. But that's in the machinery of your own mind, not the signal. The signal was just "how are you, man/person?"

Suppose you (Thomas) see a black man sitting near the front of a bus. What signal is he sending to you? Not much, right? He's just sitting there. Now, suppose it's the 50s, and it's Alabama, and the onlooker is an older white man. What signal do you suppose that guy gets? He might get a signal that an uppity negro thinks he's the equal of a white man. So, where is the problem? In the sitting, or in the looking?

Now, where is the problem in the situation we're talking about? In the speaking of a word that means man/person, or in the hearing of it?

I imagine there are a lot of black people who just loathe the n-word, and never want to hear it from anyone. This is actually the perspective that makes the most sense to me. But they have to concede that the meaning of the word has changed. The vast majority of the time, it just means man/person. Sorry. I would have preferred we just forget the word, but that's not what happened. Now it means man/person, and our squabble is about whether people who never had anything whatsoever to do with the racial persecution of anyone will be firewalled from certain parts of our language because of their perceived ethnic affiliation.

I'm saying no. It's unfair, and it's not a wise way forward, and just unacceptable to me personally.
Right. Everyone disagreeing must surely be on ideological basis as there can be no rational basis for disagreements. As seen in everything from politics to musical taste.

Bitcoin solved some practical problem in someone's mind too, even if that problem was "how do we get private money into the 21st century?".

One? Pretty well usually. Reactor trips are common enough that the grid is designed to handle it. If multiple reactors shut down simultaneously the loss of supply could exceed available margins and disrupt service.

Javascript is a horrible language, this by itself is a good enough reason to use something else to a lot of people out there. I think the number of programmers who are currently doing JS but hate it and would jump to something else the moment it becomes viable is enormous.

Then there is also the issue of the proliferation of substandard JS programmers, a lot of them knowing nothing about basic CS principles, that are viewed as "necessary evil" today. Opening up that space to better programming languages will be a net gain on many fronts.
I own a restaurant. In the 90s, I actually managed it for six years when I lost a programming job, though I only planned to do so for a few months. The restaurant ran like "a well oiled machine" customers and staff would tell me.

Nowadays, I get irritated when I walk into it and find people don't know what they're doing and inconsistencies are everywhere. I found out our manager was the type that would show you how to do things but not let you do them yourself. Later, when a new person needed to do it themselves, she would complain about their incompetence if they didn't do it right.

My point has always been, until you do it yourself, you don't know how to do it. "Turn this switch on", I'd say. "This is how you stretch this, now you stretch the next 10."

I ran three restaurants back then and had no managers at all. Each employee was better at their job than my current manager is.
Well, they are still both talking about marriage dissolution. While dissolution surely implies an unhappy marriage, the reverse implication is most certainly not true. Many marriages stay official for reasons other than "love and happiness". Most affairs probably don't even come to light, let alone actually lead to marriage dissolution.

Google: "study Twitter accounts propaganda news". Start digging. There's a lot of secondary news and primary sources from independent researchers. There are patterns of how tweets travel between groups of popular accounts. There are known rings of accounts which are excited in Russian about Crimea one month and then in French about Macron the next month. There are groups of accounts constantly replying with Russia praise 9-5 Moscow time.

As much as I hate the "do your research" response, there are so many articles already out there, I don't even know where to start and not seem arbitrarily selective.
It is only a cult in the sense that it the speculators are 10 years ahead of the consumers. Most of crypto's traction is speculation. There is almost zero consumer traction. The cult members don't want to see this, and this purposeful avoidance of truth is what makes it culty.

Couldn't help laughing at this. Getting started building staff in JS is actually really simple, even if there are different paths you can go down (it really doesn't matter if you use yarn or npm, for instance). Having to install Go once just to build a newer version of Go to try this? Sounds like a total nightmare. Each to our own, I guess. :)

The problem is that right now we're all talking about WebAssembly because it's too early to tell where it lies.

Comparing JavaScript to WebAssembly is apples to oranges because Java programmers typically don't think of Java Bytecode just like C# programmers don't think of CIL. They think of the programming language and the ecosystem of libraries that go with it.

JavaScript is to Java what WebAssembly is to JavaBytecode, it's an infrastructure to then build a stack on top.

WebAssembly has more hindsight than say Flash, Silverlight and Dart because it does things the latter three failed to address. Those tried to fix many of the warts of the web development of their days without caring about lock-in effect those had (both on the developers and the competing browsers perspective). This is why none of the major browser vendor jumped on the bandwagon and why those technologies were doomed to fail. From that perspective, something like WebAssembly was the only right thing to do, and incidentally all major browser vendor agreed and are pitching in.

And you get so much more with this because now, just like C# programmers share libraries with F# programmers, it'll be possible to have all sorts of functionality (even some that don't exist on the web today) available to anyone who has a compiler targeting WebAssembly. This is actually something that could kill offline development if they working hard enough to make it near-zero cost to target the web. I think that GC will be a major part of making libraries universal (something Java succeeded but C++ somewhat failed at), but as far as I know it's been on the todo list from the start (post-MVP).

It's also difficult to appreciate what is possible to do when you have a single compiler that can target server and client-side. It'll help those working in a typed programmers target the web but also, it's possible to make transparent call between server-side and client-side code letting the compiler wire up everything for you. There's also a lot that you typically do on the server-side where no reason exists other than performance. Those can be moved to the client side and thankfully, existing implementation in your programming language of choice will just work.

We probably can't even think of all the benefits this'll bring.
The rating services I'm imagining would provide links to everything: public audits, unit tests, verified source code, bug bounties, contract transaction history, etc. It could write a summary and give a rating, but since everything is public, it'd be more of a convenient time saver than someone you have to trust. It'd focus on public smart contracts, rather than centralized, private, commercial situations like Tether.
And let's not forget the billion dollar industry that is pouring tap water into a container and selling it for $15/gallaon.

> Have you considered looking into white hat hacking?

In my observation, this is a branch of industry that is very hard to get into.

> You could essentially be paid by companies to hack their own product entirely legally for the purpose of better securing it against potentially malicious hackers.

For this purpose, one uses quite different techniques than for blackhat hacking. E.g. in the whitehat case, the source code is often available etc.. So brutal code reviews, which require rather different skills (e.g. knowing all the subtle details of the language standard (e.g. C/C++)), are much more effective to secure applications than using the typical "blackhat techniques" (reverse engineering, knowing subtle details of CPU behaviour etc.).
