You answer your question in the last paragraph. Yes that is life. You work hard to achieve your goals(sometimes even others goals that you have mistaken as your own) and once you get there you realize that it was not Nirvana. Having the job/car/house/lifestyle/etc. you dreamed of your entire life still comes with a lot of issues.

We tend to think of our life in terms of; when only I get X then my life will be complete. Guess what. It won't. You will still be the same person - only with X. That job/car/spouse/house you put on a pedestal comes with a lot of issues as well.

It is absolutely okay to realize that the dream job perhaps wasn't so. Perhaps somewhere else is a better fit. You should not be afraid to change. It is only if you keep changing jobs to find out that everything there is not as expected - then perhaps you should look in the mirror for the common denominator.
Makes sense. Hypersocial seems like a good thing to me. Am I the only person who likes how connected phones have made us?

Seems like sentiments shared on here are often focused on the negatives.

I met the love of my life on social media.

I do business with people because of social media.

Being connected has let me speak with folks I never would have had the opportunity to speak with otherwise.
I fully agree with the argument that digital can sound better than vinyl when properly mastered, but nothing you say here is correct.

You’re not scraping metal across the surface unless you’re using a phonograph with steel needles to play 78’s, which are not “vinyl”, and you hit the arm such that it goes perpendicular to the grooves, which is not a good idea, because it will make an unpleasant sound and badly damage the surface.

Digital material is still often mastered poorly. Some older material is still not properly mastered, despite multiple “remastering” releases.

Interesting.

I distinctly remember a BIG gap in home video game systems between the death of Atari 2600 in the early 80’a and market acceptance of the NES in the mid-late 80’s.

I have an app that lets me transfer money to stores, friends, whatever instantly and without a fee. It’s build by our largest bank but works any bank. In stores it functions like apple or google pay.

If it gets hacked I get my money back.

Basically it does everything cryptos promised to do, except it actually works and it’s centralized.

Mean while I have a few cryptos sitting in a wallet with no real way of turning them into anything because nobody accepts them and no services currently let me turn them into fiat in my country.

It’s been 9 years and I think we’re further away from seeing a decentralized currency than we were 8 years ago. Back then you could at least buy coffee with BTC, you can’t even do that anymore.

I do think crypto helped the financial industry step up. We wouldn’t have had our bank app if there hadn’t been competition, but I don’t see us ever moving to a decentralized economy.
In English, at least, it used to be that a document such as a letter would begin with a date indicating when it was written, and then for dates ±1 month from that date would express relatively, like so:

* "The 10th instant" / "10th inst." = tenth day of current month indicated in date of document

* "The 10th ultimo" / "10th ult." = tenth day of month preceding the one indicated in date of document

* "The 10th proximo" / "10th prox." = tenth day of month following the one indicated in date of document

So, Ripple is saying that SWIFT is slow to settle and unreliable. I wonder how much of that is because of SWIFT itself, or because of how slow and sucky the banks are that are using it?

Anecdote: I have a sucky US bank, and a non-sucky Swedish bank. Last year I made a transfer from the US to Sweden, but it was after East Coast bank closing time, so it got scheduled for the next morning's batch transfer. Since I entered SWIFT details for my Swedish bank, I'm assuming the transfer went over SWIFT, but I don't actually know.

Early in the morning the next day the transfer happened, and the money was immediately available to me in my Swedish bank account, because that bank doesn't suck.

Three hours later I get an email from my US bank saying that they've processed the wire transfer, and I should maybe expect to see the money in my Swedish bank account in three business days... And I'm once again struck by how incompetent, slow, and sucky my US bank is.

And I don't think the underlying money transfer technology can do much about that.
Does the pew study take into account the million+ members who are neither democrat/republican because they live outside the USA where politics is different?

I'm sure Pew has a 100% accuracy and has never been wrong, and didn't just hit mormon strongholds.

There's been a huge mormon exodus (out of the church) -- generally progressives because of the November policy a few years back, and a lot of other things that have come to light, so I think some of the study could definitely be off, and out-dated.

Quitmormon.com a site that makes it easy to leave the church started about 2 years ago, and has processed 20,000+ removals, most people leave by sending in a letter, some leave by simply not going anymore and just telling them to stop coming round. Membership is in a huge 'flux' currently, I can't be certain of the numbers but it's a great deal more than 20k since 2015.

I still have MANY friends in the church who are democrat, and I'm in a number of groups on fb with mormon democrats. Even in the entire state of Utah, I don't think it's 70/20 Republican to Democrat, SLC the most progressive city has a LGBT/democrat mayor, and has had a number of democrats as mayors.

TLDR; there's a lot of movement in the church, the great millenial apostasy is on-going, studies can be off, and don't calculate exmormons which aren't mormon now, but definitely are still part of the 'culture' because they STILL have family who are, it's damn near impossible to fully cut ties from the church.

These are my opinions, not technical points, but they're my observations from the inside out. Take them at face value.

Your first quote proves my point: $177 times... how many malicious attempts? That isn't a cost that scales, because in the case of a multitude of malicious activities online, the number of attempts, at $177 a try, would not be worth it. You are using an example of singular high profile attempts, such as "I incorporated a company for this demo" or "I am a state actor trying to derail a Presidential election". While you fail to recognize that EV would likely protect users from 99% of attacks caused by malicious actors spoofing domains, which could trivially be domain validated otherwise.

I find this a particular trend amongst security discussion, particularly here on HN: Focus on the most possibly sophisticated and capable attack, while ignoring that tens of millions of users are afflicted by pretty rudimentary attacks that are more or less automated on a daily basis. If EV were to solely succeed in ensuring an actual human had to go through the registration process, it would almost certainly be worth it.

Additionally, as a point of note, EV certificates could be made vastly more effective by easily addressing your concerns: Raise the price of EV certs significantly, which CAs would be more than happy to do, and ensure you needed to go to one of the upper levels of the CA system (say, having to go to Comodo for them, rather than your Trustico nonsense) to reduce the number of parties which could issue them as much as possible, and raise the mutual requirements between them to issue them.
There is a LOT of nuance in every Supreme Court case
and this author either doesn't understand it, or chooses not to; and both of those options are dangerous to helping the public better understand the reasoning behind any decision handed down by the Supreme Court.

> in their quest to utterly dominate the global political economy

> featuring Justice Neil Gorsuch rather than Judge Merrick Garland

> Supreme Court rulings like the lifeline given to the practice of gerrymandering, the endorsement of Trump’s Muslim travel ban, the gutting of public sector unions, and the defense of bakers who don’t want to serve gay people

To me, there is extremely biased (political) language throughout the entire piece.

>I reckon lots of folks rather read the comments at HN than the piece itself.

Absolutely. The style of HN and some types of Reddit comments tend to be my favorite form of of writing.

Experienced commenters learn to cut the shit, drive the point home, add some levity, and be done with it. And the best posts filter to the top.

It's 2018- we have content out the ears. Nothing makes for worse reading than that journalistic self-importance of one's own authorship.
The company is losing $300 MILLION per quarter. Being late by a year on this figure means $1.2 Billion down the drain.

That's the important thing. A lot of people are concerned about Tesla's ability to raise money and stay solvent. Tesla will not be profitable, or even cash-flow positive, until enough Model 3 cars are made.

Every month Tesla fails to reach a high-degree of production, Telsa loses another $75 million.

-----------

The worst part about this rampup effort is how bursty and unreliable it is. Its going to be a one-week hit of 5000. Next week, or even next month, Tesla's sustainted output will be well below 5000, and therefore Tesla will remain unprofitable for another few months at minimum.

That's not even factoring in all the costs Musk threw down for these tents (Obviously a temporary arrangement, as a single storm will put those tents out of commission).

Systems Contemplation and Its Many Applications
I just got a new Subaru Outback with their Eyesight Adaptive Cruise Control. I've gotta say it is fantastic and just the sort of fairly simple and safe technology that could ease traffic jams. Certainly outside the city where I live, the way it nicely follows cars at a safe distance seems to make a lot of sense. As soon as the lead car moves away, it neatly accelerates to the preset speed and smoothly decelerates on the engine braking (or even real braking if needed) when it sees the gap closing. It's very obvious on my long commute that probably only 30% of cars seem to be using just regular cruise control, based on how their speed varies on the clear open road.

My company pays for an EV certificate, and we pin our clients to expect EV certificates in the corresponding domain names.

This gets us most of the benefits of standard certificate pinning without coupling us to any specific private key or certificate vendor.

The theory is that it’s hard(er) to fraudulently get an EV certificate issued, although—having gone through the process—it does not strike me as super secure against a determined adversary.

The self-serving wailing of a lawyer/lobbyist for the privacy invasion industry, how very droll.

The California initiative process, introduced around 1911 by crusading progressive governor Hiram Johnson to curb a venal legislature in hock to special interests, worked as designed in this case. Of course special interests adapted and learned to coopt the process, as the sugary-drinks industry is doing with its own initiative to arm-twist the State into preempting local soda taxes like Berkeley’s or San Francisco’s.

The privacy initiative took 2 years of preparation, not 7 days:

How long ago were the lanes expanded? According to the general concept of latent demand, I would expect it to take perhaps a few years for the latent demand to manifest.
Yeah seeing more datasets would definitely be nice. I linked my GitHub repo where I made the changes necessary for this example in the YouTube video. Using the last commit (the only changes from upstream) as a guide, other datasets cold be supported similarly.

That said, I don't think my choice of data is that bad actually. Apparently starting with a sorted dataset, appending some new items, and then sorting the result again is very commonly done by programmers. That is essentially what's represented in my example.

I think that's a correct reading. Basically, take all of Google hidden stuff and make it explicit, along with adding all the other options I listed.

I think of it as a form (as opposed to content) first search engine, less for precise searching and more for general topic exploring.
Well sure, it makes it easier to ignore depending on the point you are trying to make.
Yes, before they used google. It's a pretty interesting story, actually, how Yahoo felt that they should use the best underlying search engine with a "white label" approach, and how Google succeeded in eventually building a very strong brand despite being invisible.
Most of the fruit and vegetables I get at the store these days have tiny barcodes on them that make the self-checkout easy. And the occasional need for intervention from the one staff person handling 4-6 self checkouts is almost always far less than the time I would have spent waiting in line for someone who's still paying for groceries with a personal check in 2018. I almost always prefer a self-checkout.
I think the concern isn't necessarily that Bing would associate query X with person Y. The concern is that Bing would even know that query X exists. For example, if Bing saw a spike in searches for "Aramco IPO July 4, 2018" and were to reveal it to a human or store it, that might be a serious leak of non-public information. Many searches reveal private information, even when they aren't associated with a user.
The Supreme Court is just interpreting the law. If you don’t like their interpretation, amend the law so that it’s clear. If you aren’t able to get that done, maybe it’s because a lot of people disagree with you about what the law should be.

I am not much educated in this particular issue, but I have to say the language of this blog post led me to doubt that the author is a credible source of information.
We manage with wood, we'll manage with plastic.

Everything needs water, so it'll effectively always be about water management.

Also, if necessary we can add poison to the plastic just for those things that really need it (underground pipes mainly I suspect).

What the world really needs is a strong, light, cheap material that lasts, after water contact, at full strength, about 3 months, and degrades in a couple of years.

I've always wondered if there way a cheap way to engineer cellulose or lignin into a material like this. But it's gotta be really cheap.
Maybe finding in the input data.
Results from inductive inference show that you’re not going to converge in general. In the specific case of chess, however, my point was that we, because we know the complete list of rules, could plausibly look in from the outside and say after some finite point: “ah yes, now the system has gotten all of them.”
I don’t find it amazing, but it’s an issue I try to help solve where I have control. The trouble with an offer that includes training is that it is effectively a provisional offer. Candidates do not like that unless they think they’re getting training valuable enough. Meanwhile, employers don’t want it to be too valuable or else they’re just training people to work somewhere else. So, the offer needs to come with an expectation of 2+ (depending on industry) years of employment on both sides without actually being contractual (again, industry dependent) because of employment laws and because training costs can’t be clawed back as they’re just payroll going to an unskilled worker.

Navigating this, in my experience, takes a lot of emotional intelligence on our part and I don’t know how I’d scale that in a bureaucratic organization.

You are still comparing sales to game engagement and longevity.

You also need to shrink the amount of D3 sales to compare it to D1/D2 sales because the game market has grown wildly since they released. Then adjust that because it was a sequel a decade in the making.

It's like comparing the star wars sequels to the original films. The nominal values are way bigger, but if you adjust them for inflation they might tell a different story.

For some definitions of "huge". Despite all the press about it, there isn't really all that much plastic out there.

> once the humans at youtube are alerted about the problem, the videos are put back up, as in the case of the blender videos. But if it was an intentional human takedown, the videos wouldn't be put back up.

It could also have been an intentional trial balloon, to test the waters to see how much they can get away with. Politicians do that kind of thing all the time.
I really liked your approach of going about proving your point with Google Search hits. Really well done sir. I'm going to borrow this approach :D
The article demonstrates an unfortunately narrow view of supreme court cases - seeing them as something that should constantly side on a certain moral answer to the object-level question (a specific case), rather than something that upholds important (or at the very least, consistent) terminal values on the meta-level.

Similar to how some people decide to side against freedom of speech when it starts to benefit their opponent more than it helps them, even though a matter like that should be decided on a higher principle than "someone says things I wish they wouldn't be allowed to say".

As far as this article goes I'm not sure I buy some of what the author is saying, partly due to the language they use, but also due to a lack of evidence and sufficient information in some areas. We'll have to wait and see.

I seem to have gotten rid of my copy of Takedown, but Jonathan Littman writes in The Fugitive Game, paraphrasing John Markoff:

"...Shimomura was sitting in the passenger seat of a Raleigh Sprint technician's car, holding a cellular-frequency direction-finding antenna, and watching a 'signal-strength meter display its reading on a laptop computer screen.'"

This sounds, perhaps, functionally equivalent to a modern stingray, but I suspect it was not operating as a cell-site simulator. The hardware/software required at the time to "man in the middle" Mitnick's cellular calls would not have fit comfortably with Shimomura in the passenger seat of a car and would not have run smoothly on a mid-90's era laptop. Also, the bandwidth required to forward the connections would have only been achievable over directional microwave or landline which seems unsuitable for use in a moving vehicle. However, this was the dawn of digital cellular networks. The calls would not have been encrypted in any way at the time so tracking the source of specific emissions using triangulation would have been fairly trivial, especially with the assistance of a Sprint technician with access to the CDMA code Mitnick's handset was using at any given time.

Actually, I just checked and it seems Sprint didn't launch its PCS network until later that year[0] so it's possible the network in question was analog(?), making simply "listening in" even easier, without having to simulate anything.
