WW2 is the only real example to answer this kind of question. For all the global skirmishes and regular war games and other exercises, since WW2 there really hasn’t been sufficient conflict to prevent manufacturing an ahead of time stockpile of desired weaponry at the prices set by companies in the military industrial complex. Price did come down in WW2 but it can be hard to attribute it specifically to “we used everything we built and wanted more delivered yesterday” when so many other factors are involved. Wartime rationing, production regulations, patriotic decision making affecting prices people charged the government, and the simplicity of the things being manufactured compared to the complexity of modern munitions.

At the end of the day I’ve personally settled on “yes but probably not as much as you might think”.

You misunderstand what is really bad about cigarettes. It isn’t the nicotine, but the tar (the burning of it). Heck, nicotine gum has long been used as a safe smoking cessation aide. Not to mention it is present in many new works vegetables.

Getting rid of the burning tar is a HUGE win for smokers, healthwise.

I think their point is that just because someone can’t whiteboard something doesn’t mean they can’t reason about it.
Your last sentence completely missed the point of careful archiving. Because someone "didn't think it was important to keep around" we've lost, permanently, entire parts of history. The western alphabet is based on the Phoenicians and that's a name given to them by the Greeks. The very basis of our language was created by a culture which we don't even know the name they called themselves. I'm confused as to why you think it's a good thing to accept mortality? If anything our past has shown us that reaching past mortality is one of the major reasons for human achievement.
Ditto, fun read thanks for sharing.

Sure, inborn talent matters. Hard work matters. And what about the less-appreciated converses of those two qualities: namely, acquired talent and inborn propensity for hard work? :-)

We could also mention drive to seize opportunities, judgment in picking the right problems to work on, social skill to get potential collaborators excited about those problems, and of course luck. And probably 200 other things I forgot. They all matter.

Maybe the key is, instead of struggling against the profile of abilities that fate handed you, to find a subject or problem that's an optimal fit for that profile. Had Darwin been forced to spend his life as a mathematician, Godel as a biologist, or Einstein as an experimentalist, you would never have heard of any of them.
Or their hardware, some of the impact of those bugs could be built into the physical hardware. By that point.

Edit:fixed a typo.
Their reasons for replacing it were entirely explicable. Go look it up.
If you have access to a laser cutter you can make a pretty decent solder stencil by folding some clear package tape (so all adhesive is on the inside) and having it cut out the hole pattern. Lay it down on the PCB, squeegee some solder paste over it like you would a real solder mask, and carefully peel the tape up.

Been a few years, but IIRC a labmate of mine got a few units of .5mm highish ball count to work using that process and a toaster oven, but it is a bitch to test.

Would maybe do for a hobby project assuming you have access the equipment (e.g. a hackerspace or something) and are willing to drop a buttload of time into trying to get it to work, but if you are working for someone it is probably more cost effective to save the manhours and get it done by someone with the right equipment.
Holy shit, around 2005/6 I took an EE class in programmable logic that used ABEL for the labs. I couldn't find any information on it anywhere and all we had to learn the language was an old single-page photocopy of an example that had been re-copied so many times it was barely readable. And the ends of the lines were cut off.

Needless to say, the ABEL projects were frustrating...indeed a shame that it's not open source.
It is an almost willfully blind perspective to pretend like societal mores, practices, beliefs, hell even language, don't exist or are irrelevant. People aren't formed in a vacuum.

> Last year, the Japanese government recorded relative poverty rates of 16%—defined as the share of the population living on less than half the national median income. That is the highest on record. Poverty levels have been growing at a rate of 1.3% a year since the mid-1980s. On the same definition, a study by the OECD in 2011 ranked Japan sixth from the bottom among its 34 mostly rich members. Bookshops advertise a slew of bestsellers on how to survive on an annual income of under ¥2m ($16,700), a poverty line below which millions of Japanese now live.
Add another advocate to the list. It has almost certainly saved my life and the comment above is exactly what I did.
Newton and Einstein did their greatest work when pretty young. I am not sure about others.
I’d vote to round to the quarter and call it a day.
Yeah, it's not the type of thing you can iterate on and get usable results for without the whole thing. It's not like you can build a tiny space elevator and use it to bomb London, for example.
That's true. Also the exploit she is hacking was a real exploit although it was patched a long time back
So you learned your lesson and you've made sure to devote a significant portion of your resources to getting your revenge?

There's a difference between not letting someone take advantage of you and spending significant time repaying every perceived slight 10 fold. Even iterative prisoners dilemma shows that without forgiveness a tit for tat strategy dissolves into an endless cycle of vengeance.

Exactly what I was going to add. Also if your battery is low, it's much better (for me, at least) to just memorize a few turns and then shut down the app. I don't need my phone pinging GPS constantly while it's in my pocket, and especially when exploring a new city, that's exactly where it should be if you want to take in the neighborhood while you get to your destination.
In TLS 1.2 (what a good browser and site uses today) the Server Name Indication sent from your client is plaintext, as is the certificate sent back by the server and the choices made by both sides during key agreement.

In TLS 1.3 (not yet officially published as a standard but basically finished and already drafts are used by Firefox, Chrome, and Cloudflare) only SNI remains plaintext.

So yes, the FQDN you're connecting to will still be revealed, but an adversary can't trust it, unlike the certificate itself, you could be lying if the remote server lets you.

If you scroll back a few days HN discussed the Internet Draft about SNI encryption (it's a problem statement rather than a proposed solution) so they want it, it's just not clear how it could be done (there are lots of bad / ineffective options)
The police are also notoriously guilty of beating and practically torturing confessions out of suspects. Another phenomenon I read about is classifying murders as suicides, especially if organized crime is involved, but I don't have a sense of the scope of that.
For many decades (certainly at least through the 1990s, I think) there was a popular narrative that made poor postal service synonymous with inept government. Almost every citizen regularly visited a post office, and everybody had at least one poor experience. Standing in line at the post office was the equivalent of standing in bread lines in communist countries. This shared experience made the postal service a key talking point by politicians when selling small government, pro-capitalist policies.

For various reasons this narrative has subsided. It probably wouldn't even occur to younger people to perceive in the post office reflections of a wider debate about government. Indeed, for some the post office is seen as a pragmatic answer to providing banking services to poor communities, only distantly related to or even entirely divorced from the big government vs small government debate. Actually, I think in general the debate on both the right and left has shifted away from bickering over the size of government, per se, and instead emphasizes individual rights and injuries.[1]

It's why you'll hear the echos of demands on the right to completely privatize the USPS, almost entirely from the older generation because newer conservative generations couldn't care less unless you're talking about Jeff Bezos.

[1] IMO I think that conservatives won the small government debate in the 1990s, for better or worse. There was a confluence of events in both America and Europe that effectively resolved the debate. Rather, policy proposals these days either rely on some public-private model, or simply attempt to exact concessions from private industry. The government directly doing something themselves is completely off the table. See, e.g., rayiner's comparison of Stockholm's and LA's fiber initiatives.
These kind of "nuisance" crimes are well controlled, but Japan has one of the world's most active and connected underworlds, with organized crime being deeply entangled with both business and government. It's getting a little old, but Dubro's Yakuza book is full of jaw-dropping stories.
The problem with using trivia as a hiring filter is it doesn't do a good job of differentiating between those who don't know a thing, and those who know nothing, unfairly penalizing the former.

This could be a story about Google and Facebook rigging the digital advertising industry, and everyone would say, “great business tactics, it’s not a monopoly for XYZ reasons. It enables free service for users.” etc etc.

As a story about a Chinese businessman, this starts to get the scrutiny it deserves. I’d love to see journalists shed some light on monopolistic behaviors in the US. Frankly, we’d all benefit from the review.
My apologies on reading it wrong.

If you pick up a copy, have fun reading it! :)

I also recommend reading some of the programs he has posted to his site. I have not picked up the rendering book done in a literate style. Is on my ambitions list.
It's an interesting article, albeit somewhat incoherent. And much of it could be summarized as "America has always been fundamentally racist, sexist and borderline anti-intellectual". That's surely an exaggeration. And it's not as bad as it was some decades ago. Just maybe a little worse, just now.

But anyway, the Heinlein references remind me how much I love Joe Haldeman and John Scalzi.
Lmao. "Blockchain research." What a joke.

Did you read the article? These experts are experts. Including: "New York University Professor Rosa Abrantes-Metz and former Federal Reserve bank examiner Mark Williams"
It is infinitely easier to pass a law than to change humanity.

Personally, I accept the Internet as it is.
While not exactly what the article suggests, writing the documentation for my open-source game engine [0] actually helped me improve the API itself:

When I was writing out the examples and trying to see them through the eyes of a new reader, I noticed that some simple tasks took too many lines of code, and would be a turn-off to potential users of the engine.

I felt like I should get this down to N lines, and that led me to revising the API until it could be illustrated in "prettier" examples (though there's still some work to be done.)

So yes, writing out the documentation and looking at it while "away" from the project (e.g. reading it on another device, an iPad in bed in my case, rendered on GitHub etc.) can definitely help you improve other parts of the project.

I use my phone with car play for nav, so Apple maps. Directions and time estimates are better then google. Finding near by stuff, google wins. To the other posters point, since I am a car play user, Apple won as far as that goes.
Hi, Sorry for troubling you but I've been locked out of my gmail account for nearly a year. I was using a password manager to store the password and the password database was stored locally,the database then got corrupted (I know I'm an idiot for not backing it up). I've tried to go through the account recovery process as I still posses the same phone number linked to that gmail account, however I'm unable to answer the question about when my account was created exactly, It was such a long time ago and I can't seem to remember it and at the end I get the error message "Google couldn't verify this account belongs to you". Is there any way to recover my account? I would really appreciate help in anyway possible, if that's alright with you. Thanks.
In order to satisfy my desire to rage against the machine, I like to set a destination in the opposite direction of where I'm driving, and listen to the voice navigation system desperately try to talk me into making a U-turn. It would be even more satisfying if the speech synthesizer's tone of voice grew increasingly frustrated and baffled, as I ignored its futile pleas while driving further away from my stated destination.
I tried using Apple Maps on my iPhone to navigate to WeWork in San Francisco last week and it sent me three blocks off target with the exact street address entered. I switched to Google maps to find it correctly with the same street address. YMMV, single data point and all that.
I've also used Google directions going through Los Angeles (from San Diego to San Jose) and it told me to exit the freeway for some reason in Los Angeles and get back on, which I followed blindly but wasn't too bad a diversion.
Seems very similar to how Restaurants and grocery stores throw food out instead of giving it to shelters and homeless people. It’s a common corporate policy in the US. The only justification seems to be that if they gave it away, they might miss out on some otherwise potential sales.
Can Sacrificing Privacy Curb Disinformation Online?
True, its impossible to stop banking leaks. I recently found that Visa and MCard sell not only transaction totals, but Itemised data, like eggs, 2x milks, chocolate brand. I guess I'll fill my wallet with cash for shopping.

Many people cannot jump off facebook. I just use Messenger for comms.

And its no trouble, after setting all up, in few months, you'll hardly notice it, it will be new normal.

Forgot to add, use several emails, one for government, one for facebook, for ones you will not use, like shop and blog accounts - create few protonmail ones, it will be harder to put them all together by data mining.

If registration page asks, give fake names, DOB, phone numbers. Make it a habit asking yourself - do this shop really needs this data be real?
Skimming through the materials, this looks interesting. It takes the approach of slides and exercises. I actually expected to see another site with the same name: https://beginners.re/ which provides a PDF book.

To be honest, nicotine has cognitive enhancing effects. Nicotine alone does not have detrimental effects (aside from vasoconstriction, but it’s a stimulant); the main risk comes from the unknown effects of long term exposure to inhaled chemicals like propelyne glycol/vegetable glycerin.

These chemicals are approved as food additives, though.
Thanks for the reply! And apologies I didn't realize the autocorrect on my phone turned "PvNP" to "PnP". I'll read up on the recent works you mentioned here. Appreciate the link to your comment on Blockchain technology as well.

If you still have time to answer questions.. is there any recent work in the cryptographic or blockchain space you see as standout? I haven't referred recently to any citations or updates, but found Ben-Sasson, Bentov, Horesh and Riabzev's recent work (https://eprint.iacr.org/2018/046) on ZK-STARKs intriguing.
Yes, but, to our shame, the US is also recognized as a horrifying outlier and imprisons a greater portion of its population than any other country on Earth. According to this Washington Post article, 5% of the world's people are Americans, but one-quarter of the world's prisoners are American: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/fact-checker/wp/2015/07/...
To sorta the same point, I use the YouTube app on my iPad and I am logged in because I to see my subscribed channels. Now google has asked me to sign up for YouTube Red like 1000s times now in the app. You would thing after the 999 no they would understand yet....
Things have changed a lot. You can get proper stainless steel stencils from lots of providers now, most PCB houses have it available as well - done to the same specs as your PCB.

The only time it really fails is if I'm lazy applying the solder paste or if I stop paying attention during reflow. Doing it in house saves a ton of money which is really important when you are trying to get your first prototypes up and running. Plus it also keeps you deeply in tune with what is possible to manufacture and what isn't. DFM stops being just a checklist.

We'd have a lot more hardware startups if people realized how cheap and easy its become. You need the prototype to get funding.
thought the same, and if not made in USA, at least mexico being so close could be somewhat competitive, right?

"Your comment reads as if you equate 'BGA' with 'SMD'"

So true. I used to manage a design verification business that made very good money consulting for companies' in-house design groups. Most of what we did was write Tcl and Perl scripts to glue together tools. Our mojo was that we had seen so many examples of design flows that had terrible tool integration and had to be fixed with one-off scripts, and as a result had built up a large library of scripts that could be be quickly tweaked to fix the next customer's problems. It felt a lot like working as a plumber to clean old clogged drains, a pretty dirty business.
Alex, could you clarify more? From initial glance of it and the blog it looks like either

(A) We have to go through your service, which clearly isn't decentralized.

or

(B) This somehow converts GraphQL queries to Ethereum lookups, somehow, all in the client? But the article says to use your endpoint, which suggests (A).

Could you explain how this is decentralized at all? I ask because I run one of the most popular P2P/decentralized projects and we have a GraphQL query layer on top ( https://github.com/brysgo/graphql-gun ) which happens all end-to-end on the peers.

I'd love to see more GraphQL dApp options out there, but I also want to make sure it doesn't lock people into a centralized service, when there are P2P alternatives.

Please let me know if I'm misunderstanding the API. If I'm not, maybe we could help you guys make it fully P2P? Cause this would be a really cool system.
I think there's also liability issues, like if they give away food and someone gets salmonella poisoning or has an allergic reaction or something then they could get sued. It sucks but it's not completely arbitrary.
I already don't have cable, there's nothing to replace. I don't use youtube very often and if Google wants to paywall youtube entirely that's fine by me. Don't disingenuously introduce some silly entitlement canard - I never made a suggestion of entitlement.
