> why is the Accessibility tab not shown by default?

The article has this to say: "This is because the accessibility engine runs in the background when the accessibility features are turned on. While it’s running, it slows performance and takes up memory; therefore it interferes with the metrics from other panels such as Memory and Performance as well as overall browser performance. For this reason you should keep it turned off when you aren't specifically using it."

>If you accept the 3 presuppositions, the only logical conclusion is that there are no other technologically advanced species in the Milky Way or that we're the first(very unlikely).

Or they have a culture/value system that doesn't care about sprawling out to occupy as much space as possible. Why is it presumed that advanced alien civilizations would use their technology to maximize, rather than minimize their ecological footprint?

It stands to reason that environmental degradation could be one of the major filtering mechanisms for advanced life and any civilization that clears the filter will need to have fostered sustainable, symbiotic production systems rather than extractive ones.
Is there any convergence theory for ES ?
You can write a model for things you can't measure if you like, but how can you know the accuracy of it or if it can predict future (impossible) measurements. It's almost nonsensical to try, unless some alien civilisation comes along with the data I don't see the point.

I think we need to start treating obesity like we would mental illness.

We've finally, as a general society, grown out of telling people with clinical depression to just cheer up.

Yet we tell obese people to "just eat less". I think most obese people realise that if they want to lose weight they need to eat less.
Ahhh man, you quoted all that just to say “this time it’s different”?!
You're saying that like humans (well, evolutionary predescesors) weren't around and evolving over that period as well.
Stewart is one of the few tech titans to acknowledge the role of luck in his success. The press loves a good “rags to riches” story even if they have to make it up. But the truth is, Stewart went to an elite boarding school and did not finish off his childhood without electricity.
I'm not a security expert and can only point out one thing that I noticed from my knowledge from network security class in college:

>Upon successful verification of the signature contained in the third message (and verification that the eight-byte timestamp is current), the server proceeds to send three symmetrical messages: a long term server public key, an ephemeral server public key, and a signature message authenticating the ephemeral key.

This might be vulnerable to replay attacks. The user proves freshness of his request by sending a signed unix timestamp, the server however doesn't seem to do that.

Shouldn't compromise the security of the protocol, just one thing that I noticed.

Congrats on weight loss.

Now you should integrate exercising into your life. At least 150 minutes of vigorous exercise per week. Do it.
The best we've gotten is a rumor of a GoT-style Zelda series headed to Netflix

That sounds terrible. GoT had volumes of an already successful story from which to build a TV Show. The problem with the Zelda TV show & the SMB movie is the fact that these franchises are pretty light on story to begin with, let alone good story.
The answer to all of the above is: The massive distances between places in the universe. We lack the resolution to see, but that doesn't mean it's not out there. Unless technology can somehow manipulate physics in order to open join-points between far flung places, it makes total sense why we can't get there and they can't get here.
Easier by what metric? Many people know how to make a screenshot. Would you really have a developer spend his time writing extensions for all major browsers that:

A. Need to be tested thoroughly or the entire survey is a bust

B. Might break the second Google pushes a change to production

C. Costs you time instead of the volunteers?
Title is also misleading, FTA:

Fast-forward to today and 46-year-old Stewart Butterfield - who founded both photo-sharing website Flickr, and business messaging service Slack - has an estimated personal fortune of $650m (£500m).

The $5bn figure comes from Slack's valuation and is as accurate as saying that Steve Jobs was a $300bn tech boss at the time of his death when he was worth $10.2bn.

With name compression, asking for multiple records wouldn't be that much work. The format is dead simple: http://www.tcpipguide.com/free/t_DNSMessageHeaderandQuestion...

A packet would look something like:

A IN 38:mydomainnameislongerthanyourdomainname 3:com
AAAA IN <2 bytes pointer>
CNAME IN <2 bytes pointer>
SRV IN <2 bytes pointer>

So 43 bytes for the name (41 bytes data, 2 length fields), plus 4 bytes for the type and class, and 6 bytes (type, class pointer) for each additional type. Even if you would already consider 200 bytes to be a lot of overhead, that would fit `floor(200/6)`=33 question records, more than I think we'd ever use. (Sure, the exist more, but currently we only query for A and AAAA. The overhead of that, when using the current DNS format but using multiple queries in one packet, is a grand total of 6 bytes.)

Could all of this be linked to a basic human need of constant "news value"? I mean, does people need to fill their brain in some form of another, if not they go insane? Ways you can fill your brain with news value: Difficult tasks at work, engaging in other peoples lives, gambling, Facebook, Netflix, hobbies, stock market, knitting, programming, voting for a president to make their life more interesting (I did not say better).. If you have a lot of hobbies you are more ok with a boring job, and with a difficult job you are more ok with boring / little contact with your neighbours.

New Harvard Study Reveals How CEOs Really Spend Their Work Time
When I was a bicycle messenger I had to eat stupid amounts of food. I needed 4-5000 calories a day. I had to eat two dinners every evening, one after work and one before bed. If I didn't get enough calories down during the day I would wake up in the middle of the night with my body screaming at me to EAT!, and like a zombie I would head into the kitchen and make a box of Kraft Dinner with a cup of butter and inhale it.

I did that for 2 years, and afterwards I developed an aversion to eating, I just got so sick of having to gorge myself at every meal, and never being able to go more than a few hours without thinking about food.

Really? I don't think everybody auditing the source of the apps we use is at all realistic, and I don't think glancing at the source is worthwhile.

Barring an organized audit, I think confidence in an open source tools like this just comes with popularity, rightly or wrongly.
You should really exercise, no matter what people tell you, or how difficult it feels.

Controlling your diet seems like the easy way, and I don't think it's really healthy because you will lack energy, and it's easy to slip.

You should already stop drinking sodas and eating unnecessary snacks, but I'll never believe that it's the only thing you can do.

Remember that exercise gets easier over time, so just hang in there and take the pain. Sweating is good, all your body will be restarting if you exercise. All existing biology reacts to simulation, and dies if it stops moving. Just imagine your cells getting reorganized, cheese particles bring breathed out, and toxins getting filtered out.

Exercise will counter the problems created by bad diets but not only vascular. It will rebalance a lot of things. You will also sleep better.

There is truth in people living longer because they keep asking their body for more even when they age. All life forms thrived around biological movement. Sedentary lifestyle is the antithesis of living.
Dow Jones Predicted Last Week on Twitter
Someone on Twitter correctly predicted the Dow Jones Industrial Average change for each day for all of last week. The Twitter timestamps show that the prediction was made the previous week. The claim is corruption, but there are no details. There is an email address. Possibly I am wrong, but the chance of this person correctly making such a prediction is 1 in 1024. What does everyone think?

You haven’t substantiated your argument that equality of opportunity doesn’t exist in any way, and you continue to advocate for people to focus on the unfairness of their circumstances, rather than what they can do about it. In life all you can do is play the cards your dealt, shaking your fist at the sky will get you exactly nowhere.

Okay pal, I'll have to stop this conversation here – because I literally advocated the exact opposite of that and it's clear that your views are set, you're not reading what I wrote, and you're unlikely to be convinced. All the best!
You have to be careful to avoid cherry picking results. As a counter-example in the same area, arithmetic coding was arguably shut down as commercial technique by IBM patents.
Why does that 'sound' unhealthy? If you want to actually lose weight and eat healthy you need to change your lifestyle, not do a diet here or there for a week or 2.

The more you exercise the more you can get away with eating!

(Sure if you are 5'7 and weigh 150lbs, that would be unhealthy for a year, you don't need to lose 50lbs. But that would be just fine for someone that is overweight)
Why do most introductory math textbooks not contain solutions? How can a self-learner without access to a university or professor check their work?

The common answer I get is solutions "rob" the student of learning. Why should the fear of the lazy student cheat those that actually attempt their work and want to see if their solution is correct?

Additionally, I heard the argument that "you should know" if your solutions are correct. A beginner is probably prone to subtle mistakes and may think their reasoning is rational. Thus they are probably unaware of any subtle logic errors and could easily fool themselves into thinking their proofs are correct.

Is it partially laziness from the authors in creating new problems for homeworks/exams? Or do people think a literal beginner in math can be their own proof checker?

I wouldn't want a beginner programmer writing "production ready" code without code review, so why should we expect a beginner math student to write error free proofs? What is the point in not allowing solutions?

As great as these text may be, I couldn't and wouldn't recommend them for the beginner. These text seem to be designed solely for a classroom where students will get assistance and feedback from TAs and professors. They seem useless for a beginner to learn on their own without outside proof checking.

That's not that low. 3 miles is a fairly short run and about 500 kcal burned.

Do that 3 times a week and you'll burn a pound every second week or 25 pounds a year.

I also find that I tend to eat less if I exercise. No idea why, but it just seems to work that way for me.

> Don't listen to people's stories about weight loss and "what worked for them", if they are in their early 20's

Especially if they're much younger, but not only then. We're all different - in our bodies' responses to different stimuli, in our schedules and other constraints, in our tolerance for different kinds of privation or discomfort. Even among people of similar ages and life circumstances, results will vary widely. The important thing is to experiment with different kinds of diet and exercise, different schedules of when to do which, and observe what's working vs. what's not.

I just cannot compare Amazon to Ebay. While I can get similar items on both what I use Ebay for , collectibles, antiques, and hard to find items, is outside the scope of Amazon. I never expected Ebay to be the big retail spot, for many of us it is the world's largest garage sale.

I use Ebay for many replacement parts for items not normally found in stores or worse jacked up on Amazon because they come bound with Prime shipping. Amazon might be top dog from name recognition but places like Wal Mart are trying and unless Amazon gets a grip on knock offs they are in danger of alienating a good number of buyers.
>It's not so simple. What you eat and your hormones determine the fat storage on your body.

It is, for the most part, but you're right; insulin spikes are a problem and you should not be gorging yourself on simple carbohydrates when on a diet. Of course, protein and fats can also contribute (ask any keto fan), so you have to eat in moderation and be mindful of your macros.

>Counting calories doesn't really work

Utter and complete nonsense. I have been actively monitoring and modifying my weight via calorie counting for more than two decades. I started boxing at 10, playing football and wrestling at 13, and to this day I still count calories and strength train at an intermediate competitive level ('competitive' in terms of what I lift in the big three at my weight, not to imply that I actually compete.)

I have helped many other people lose weight via calorie counting. It works, and to claim otherwise is simply ignorant. Of course quality of food is the next subject you broach with anyone trying to lose weight. No one should expect to lose weight and be healthy by eating 1200 calories of cake and another 500 in potato chips each day.

When you eat good food (increase your fat and protein as a % of your macros, stay away from processed sugars/carbs, increase your intake of vegetables, etc.) and limit calorie intake you lose weight. Speaking to most people in terms of insulin is a waste of time. They have no simple way to measure that, but if they eat under maintenance and eat generally good food they _will_ lose fat, and that's the goal.
It's a lot harder to stand out from the crowd these days. You can have a mechanic that does something perfect that makes your game the best among a sea of 20 clones, but rarely in this era are you going to find a game on an island alone that makes it shine like a Mario 64 or Grand Theft Auto III. Studios are (and to no fault of their one) making incremental improvements to previous titles.

More technical advanced meaning they can effectively use all resources on their own planet?

Or even further where they can effectively gather all the energy from their star?

The only reasons to branch out is because your own star is dying or your population (demand for energy) is growing too fast.

Essentially I think that population control is a big hurdle for any advanced species. Which would be the main drive for colonizing space. But at what rate does it grow? After their first star, how long does it take for the next one to be used fully.
The Earth is 4.5B years old. Evidence of life appears 260M-1B years later, with the earliest date given by the current earliest equivocal findings and the latest by direct fossil evidence.

>Putting this altogether, it seems there's an excellent chance that primitive uni-cellular life evolves pretty readily and multi-cellular animals tend towards increased intelligence soon there after.

How much intelligence though? Dinosaurs were around for eons and, as far as we know, never used simple machines or mastered the use of fire. So far, the human branch is the only handful of species that ever has. Even fairly closely related primates haven't figured it out despite the fact that they watch us do it all the time.

I've found exercising right before lunch works really well to avoid this problem.

Of course, not everyone has the luxury to exercise for half an hour, have a shower, and then eat lunch in the middle of the day. Any company that doesn't give their employees adequate time to exercise is just harming itself. Healthy employees are productive employees.
A good quality fitness tracker with a built-in heart rate monitor like a Garmin Forerunner will give you a reasonably accurate estimate of calories out. Your can also get an occasional DXA scan (low dosage x-ray) to measure body composition; the report will include an estimate of your baseline resting calorie consumption per day. Remember that as you lose weight your daily calorie consumption will also drop because you have less fat to carry around and keep alive.

The title is also clickbaity, since the conclusion is really just that "we can't deduce much of anything... yet".
Elephants, whales, octopi, etc didn't develop their intelligence independently from humans. We're all pretty closely related species that evolved from the same origins.

What would be interesting is if we found intelligent (or any!) life that evolved completely independently from our own origins.

Hi Eduards,

First of all thanks for your effort.

Search and filtering via tags is very important to be URL friendly, because people like me can then add it as a "search engine" via a keyword in Firefox or Chrome.

It's also the thing that bothers me about Pocket (getpocket.com), the fact that I can't add it as a search provider.

Well we agree that eating the right food makes the biggest difference. If you eat the right food you don't need to count calories though. The thinking that counting calories matter might help you, but ultimately it's wrong. But just like thinking the earth was flat, maps still worked.
I have yet to see a professional game engine that wasn't GUI oriented.

Professional game studios are mostly Windows based, and developers are actually a minority in teams, mostly responsible for low level engine code.

So understandably the workflows are optimized for animators, artists, level designers, gameplay developers, script writers, ...
Quite, but it may turn out to be a great filter that no species, alien or terrestrial, has yet got past. Thus there may no end of life out there but none that has advanced far enough to be noticed.

Perhaps we'll be the first, though I have to say I'm far more pessimistic than say a decade or two ago.

Could you clarify what you mean by "the criticism of the data structure"? I don't entirely follow your meaning, but I suspect there might be something in the post I need to update/clarify.
Since source is available, of course you should audit it, or at least glance over it before compiling.

You should realize that this is not feasible for everyone as most people are not developers.. and even in the subset of people who both how to write software and (in this case) know rust, how many are really qualified to audit a software project for malicious code or vulnerabilities? I'm a professional developer and I'm certain someone could slip some obfuscated code in a project with several thousand lines of code and I'd never know it.
That has little bearing on the cost of fielding/maintaining a vehicle. Fatalities are so rare they won't have an impact maintenance costs unless a sizeable chunk of your fleet is getting driven off a cliff.

In my experience men and women tend to be about equally hard on things. The male outliers tend to create more maintenance work by being hard on chassis/suspension ("hold my beer and watch this"). The female outliers tend to create more maintenance work by keeping quiet about problems (usually having to do with fluids not in their proper places) for far too long.

The most expensive driver is the kind that blindly follows directions/orders into a dumb situation.

Source: Did fleet maintenance in high-school.

edit: The words "in my experience" and "outliers" were used for a reason. I'm not claiming that all men will get a mini-bus airborne if given the opportunity or that all women will ignore an obvious puddle in a parking spot. I am stating what patterns I observed in the noteworthy cases of neglect. There's a million uncontrolled variables, maybe we were just a really scary maintenance department and none of the women wanted to talk to us or something. I'm not claiming that a bunch high school teachers a decade ago is a sample that accurately represents the rest of the population. Maybe the way buses were assigned to teams (pseudorandom) resulted in the observed failure pattern.
Probably the one I'm most proud of is my backup system. It includes:

- My web server making automated backups of it's databases.

- My computer automatically downloading and cleaning up the backups of my web server's databases.

- My other computer making a copy of the important files on my computer (including, of course, website database backups).

- My offsite machine making a copy of all of that in another location.

At the end of this process: My important personal files are currently stored on five hard drives in two physical locations. All of this happens without me really paying attention to it.
