Part of the problem is that alcohol and cocaine were perhaps the only substances which were well known to cause addiction and were easy to create and society tended to deal with them by prohibition in some form (cocaine was forbidden, alcohol is forbidden by some religions etc). And when you had all these new substances burst forth it was natural to try and restrict them.

We know now that isn't the best strategy to deal with it and we should act accordingly.
You can't compare CO2 and plastic wraps by weight, because the scale of the problem is very different.

According to Wikipedia, mankind emitted 33.5 Gt of CO2 in the year 2010, and the surface area of the Earth is 510072000 km^2. In other words, we add 66g of CO2 per every square meter of the Earth, every year.

Imagine an Earth where we add six ~10g plastic wraps per square meter, every year, in every corner of the world. It becomes clear that the reason plastic wraps are collectively a less serious problem is that there are much less of them in the first place, compared to CO2 emission.

In other words, you cannot just compare a single piece of plastic wrap with an equal mass of CO2 and claim they are equivalent. You're comparing apples and oranges.

It's valid concern, but I'm not so sure in this case. Spear phishing is a skilled art, and requires relatively significant knowledge of the target and their domain. Sure the rest is a essentially a stackoverflow post away, but it requires real determination to research this kind of attack and real skill to carry it out and see it through to millions in cash popping from ATMs in foreign countries. Just the people management alone is impressive

And finally, I don't think stackoverflow cover ATM maintenance procedures yet. These guys weren't kiddies

Correct. I first used a Mac with System 6 somewhere around 1991-1992. I remember using other GUIs (maybe windows 3.1 or X) and being frustrated by the menus, then realizing that the Mac had this diagonal most movement detection and that's what made their menus so much easier to use. Apple figured this out 30 years ago.

How to Develop a Content Strategy: A Simple Five-Step Guide
I'm not sure why this is even news to be honest; I live in London and noticed zero glitch in the consistency of my Uber rides. I don't think anyone actually thought this would be a problem when 1) they fulfil a service that everyone wants (cabs simply do not compare on speed, efficiency, price and ease of booking) and 2) the company is such a well known global brand, that there would be an uproar if it was banned and no politician would want that stain on their time in office.

You sent them in by email.

The SRI NIC had a template file you'd fill out and email it in. For example, see RFC-1032: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1032

I registered my first .edu in 1986 (maybe 1987) and my first .com in 1988.

It was done similarly for getting IP blocks assigned. I emailed in a form around 1986 and got a class B assigned for my university (still in use).

Certain kinds of waste are more likely to end up being improperly disposed of. When was the last time you saw a cucumber wrapper or steak package blowing in the wind? I bet you see a lot more coffee cups and plastic bottles.

When people unwrap groceries, they do so in their home, and it tends to get disposed of properly. It's stuff people use on the go that most frequently becomes litter.

I realize that I'm replying to an old message, but I really find this interesting. I was talking with my father about proper pronunciation of Spanish, because he was very fluent in Spanish. I told of how "over the top" it felt to me, to pronounce certain things certain ways, like I was making fun of Mexicans or something. And he said, "You have to pronounce it that way, it is what they are used to hearing." What is interesting about your post to me is that I thought my attitude was common among Americans, but you add two other groups, Russians and "Dutchies". Americans like to degrade unstressed vowels to undifferentiated "schwa" sounds, while Spanish speakers retain the character of vowels when they are unstressed. To an American this difference on unstressed vowels is one of the things that good pronunciation has that makes it sound over the top to a naive American.

Your observation about lip-reading as reinforcement of the pronunciation one hears, is intriguing.
True Confessions: Java Microservices, Part I
From reading HN the last time this controversy came up, I've come with a possibility.

I think a portion of it is that if you judge based solely on academics then you will only get a certain type of person who is focused on scores in academics. You could easily fill your class with the top X% of scorers but that won't necessarily make an interesting group of graduates in the real world. It especially won't make an interesting group of people to interact with. I don't think I'd go to that school even if I had been admitted.

I think part of it is that they're hoping to find people who will end up being important people in the world. Not necessarily just those who perform well academically.
I find RequestPolicy[0,1] to be both a powerful and easy way to manage cross-site requests. It too blocked ConvertKit (with options: temporarily allow, whitelist, whitelist only for vuehandbook.com, etc).

With you so far...

> especially in the context of a far-right that routinely murders people.

And you just repeated the exact same silly claim you disputed, but you switched the political affiliation!

Is every single act of violence by a liberal "antifa"? Of course not. Therefore, it seems silly to pretend every act of violence by a conservative is "the far right" which are a particular (abhorrent) set of political views.
Actually, I want some of that to be true :) Some unemployment would lower house prices and make buying a new one a bit more affordable :)

There's also Osoyos "desert" of a similar nature (that is, more of a sandy dry patch). It's 400 km to the East from Vancouver, in the Okanagan valley with its vineyards, wineries and whatnots. Wineries are quite nice; the desert - not so much :)

It is a subjective criteria so they can get more control over who gets admitted or not.
Great, I haven't been tracking the situation that closely. Additionally googling around I did also find that there are standards to replace the typical captive-portal wifi setup, namely "online sign-up" (OSU) and "additional steps required for access" (ASRA).

While I don't know how well they do work in real life, they do demonstrate that the problem is manageable within the WPA2 framework.

That being said, the whole landscape around wifi is ridiculously muddied and complex, so if WPA3 does tackle the issues more natively (which I somewhat doubt), then that would be very welcome.

I don't necessarily disagree with the idea that Harvard's admission practices should include other factors, but if they are receiving tax breaks there should be a federal / state-level monitor to evaluate the admissions practices. It's ridiculous to apply arbitrary criteria while they enjoy tax exempt status.

If an educational institution wishes to apply capricious standards, let them pay taxes.

Not sure what this article is trying to say, other than a 7 Tesla MRI is godawful powerful.

Yes, we all experience pain differently. I've had more than a standard share myself (ripped arm from shoulder, in the region of ~20 dislocations followed before it got fixed). And I've never heard of chronic pain (hypersinsitivity to pain). And yes, pleasure is pain's opposite, but an even more evil beast. Because true, unadulterated pleasure is an ephemeral beast - it doesn't come often, and it never stays. Pain can stay. For a long, long time.

And that brings me to what the article doesn't discuss - how we (and how different people) deal with pain. I can take a lot - apparently more than most, because of that shoulder. Had to go under full anaesthetic every time to get it set. And until then I had to just... take the pain.

And after a few dislocations taking the pain got to be surprisingly easy. I somehow disassociated myself from it. I could feel the pain, but somehow it registered a bit like a pilot light, and a lot less that what I feel when I stub my toe or bash my shin. It was as if I was telling myself that hey there's the pain, it hurts, but it's not that agony that it is. Or was. I don't know how to describe it.

So I read that article, and I said all of this stuff, and I'm still not sure what the point of it all was, other than inform me that someone's hoping to provide a definitive measure of the severity of pain using MRI.
I have been through this now a few times.

Yes, the sales side of the business is critical. So is the engineering side, and the product side, and the support side. In a startup everything is critical. Which is why an equal share is the only reasonable approach; otherwise you're arguing over which of your organs is more important, your heart or your lungs or your liver.

If your founding team thinks "sales is less important than engineering" and thus deserves a smaller share (or vice-versa), you're already set up to fail. I went through this once with a CEO with an outsized belief in his contribution and I consider the lesson learned.

I'm sure there are plenty of exceptions to the "equal share" rule, like very junior engineers - but you might want to consider whether that's a good idea for a startup.

I look at this from the other side, btw. In my current startup I had the moral authority to demand an asymmetric split, but I chose an equal split anyway. We're going to be at this a long time. Day 0 is a dumb time to get greedy.

Or look at it this way: The other founders in your company got greedy and missed out on an opportunity to bring you on board, and your contribution may have been the difference between success and failure. That's their fault, not yours. I hope they've learned their lesson.
I can speak from my own experience; even though English is my first language, I entered as a grad student and TA in a public US university as a foreigner, since my undergrad degree was done outside the US. After they determined that I was capable of speaking understandable English, they actually made me an instructor of record for a 300-level course that none of the active faculty was available to teach.

It was quite an experience.
It's the same problem that you see in Japan to an even greater degree, consumers perceive packaging as giving the product added value, so market forces push high-end retailers away from no-packaging because it's associated with discount/low end shops. In the US you can buy lots of things in 'Bulk' if you go a store like WinCo, which is marketed as being cheap. Additionally the Bulk foods just aren't as fresh as what you'd find packaged by the half-pound at Whole Foods as least in my anecdotal experience.
You're constraining the concept of math in a way that nobody really does, is not useful to the discussion, and isn't intended by the article, which does attempt to reduce things like dice results, indeed the entire universe, to math.

Effectively using AWS Reserved Instances
And especially WASPs.
The same reason that employers don't give all applicants a standard test and hire the people with the best scores. The culture of a school is something that people think is important and you can't control that culture by accepting people based purely off of academics. That is why things like admission interviews exist and kids have always picked up electives in high school that would "look good on a college application".

This practice has certainly been abused in the past and you can argue it is still being abused, but I don't think that means that judging a kid based on anything beyond academics is a bad move for colleges.
> don't routine security updates mean you're constantly rebuilding and redeploying these images?

Yes and no; yes, because you should be rebuilding upon upstream changes, but no, because there will be fewer upstream changes. You can reduce the amount of software that is baked into a Docker image, compared to a full traditional distribution, thus reducing your attack surface and reducing the frequency with which the image needs to be rebuilt.

> And if so, how is that more efficient than just using Puppet / Chef / Ansible and a 'real' server?

"Real" servers are always (exception: NixOS) stateful, even if they are only used to host stateless services. Uninstalled packages leave behind old service users, buggy packages depend on specific user/group IDs that conflict in production but not where they were built, conflicting ports that are already bound. Designing for immutable infrastructure makes it easier to reason about state in production and therefore makes production easier to manage.

I like how you brought up all of those examples for means of discovery. However, I think that almost all of those are a form of advertising. Perhaps the forum where people are giving advice would not be advertising.

If any of these are on the internet, then people there will be pixel trackers, and people are going to measure the distinct number of impressions. I don't think this is a bad thing.

This is interesting. I am planning on writing a static site generator to help me learn Rust and was deciding on what template engine to use. I was going to chose Haml (and started on a Haml library) but I may end up going with Zapper.
You can get away without, but I don't think you can reasonably call yourself a programmer if you don't understand how your software works.

Being able to write rigorous proofs (of algorithms, lets say) will help you write correct code on a more consistent basis, and just generally train your mathematical thinking skills.

What is proven, is forever: How long does your average library last?
So, in case people wonder what is happening, wrt to the timeline of the AV1 codec, here is some info.

This is final version of the bitstream and the specification of the codec. It will not change anymore (until AV1.1 or AV2).

There are not much features changes since the "release" that was announced before NAB (early April), but now everything should be clean and checked (checking that the spec actually matches the reference decoder, decoder model, profiles, ...), and a few bugfixes went in already.

Now, in a couple of weeks, you should have MP4 and MKV mappings finalized (yes, that means the files you've seen so far are invalid). And then it will be available to everyone (if you can encode it, of course).

It’s a different type of zoom.
I don’t think so. It would target more skin tones as it became better at identifying suspects accurately. The aim is to reduce crime regardless who commits it. We have a system which can help on a subset but not another. Why should we ignore the potential only because we cannot deploy it against everyone?

It’s like saying, well, since we can’t successfully prosecute big bankers, well also ignore smaller fry bankers who are sloppier cuz it’s not fair to them.

In the end everyone but the criminals benefit. Eventually one hopes the system is well enough trained so it can be deployed for all skin tones.
I really, really do not get this obsession with Javascriptless interactivity.

I mean, seriously. Its 2018. JS engines are REALLY fast. And by the way, lets not be deluded into thinking that the Chrome is a lightweight nothing without JS execution. There are already GPU-aided reflow/repaint operations, your whole UI context lives on a different thread, tons of services are pulled back for audio/video capabilities, not to mention addons, HTML engine, etc.

So just learn proper JS, do not overdo it, and write efficient scripts. Its doable.
Carcross is cute, it's an hour from the capital city, Whitehorse Yukon. Carcross recently built about 6 or so small buildings, mostly occupied by art shops and one cozy cafe. The new plaza is across from the semi-restored frame of the SS Tutshi, but if steam boats are your thing you'll want to check out the SS Klondike.

It has a historic general store, complete with old trapping equipment. Trapping is still practiced today, but the equipment and licensing is much more humane.

The White Pass & Yukon Route railway also ends in Carcross, as of 2007 they restored that part of the railway. https://wpyr.com/sights-sounds/places/carcross-yukon/
