This is really difficult to think about because the US is able and prepared to spend limitless amounts of money compared to other countries. You could argue that there is an opportunity cost to developing the F35. But has the US really limited expenditure in other areas as a result?

It seems to me that the US strategy depends on adversaries playing by the same rule book and trying to compete using similar technology. In that environment the US is absolutely going to have superiority in military capability and technology because they can spend such vast quantities of money.

The risk comes when an adversary throws out the rule book and looks for technology and tactics that nullify that advantage and are affordable. The US could be found lacking, but I don't suppose that is a fault with the F35 program exactly. And I guess that a lot of the individual technologies developed as part of the F35 program are useful in their own right.

I think that the referred confusion is the difference in applying the DST between Europe and US:

Start and end dates vary with location and year. Since 1996, European Summer Time has been observed from the last Sunday in March to the last Sunday in October; previously the rules were not uniform across the European Union. Starting in 2007, most of the United States and Canada observe DST from the second Sunday in March to the first Sunday in November, almost two-thirds of the year.

The problem is that if you're European (like me) and have recurring weekly meetings with US based coworkers the meetings will be shifted by an hour until the other party shifts the clock.
I started commenting but I deleted everything half way because I hadn't thought about public WiFi access points. I remember we used to do temporary IP bans on the English Wikipedia if there was too much abuse but it was only for editing. 4chan bans are also for posting afaik. I don't know of a blanket refusal to connect ban for a web server.

Would it be ok to ban an entire IP just because someone from that IP has a compromised machine? I remember this argument that if there is obviously malicious traffic coming from an IP address, the right solution is to block traffic at the next stop, usually the ISP supplying Internet access to that connection. Failing that, the back end should disconnect the ISP and failing that, the other peers should disconnect from the malicious peer. But I don't know how practical it is...

The expert was largely uncontested as the explanation he gave was adequate given the question being asked. More evidence was needed for a better explanation, and there wasn't a strong push to fund more research to answer "where did the stone for Stonehenge come from?"

Though there can be some examples of scientists unwilling to question past experts, the bigger obstacle is the limited amount of evidence that scientists are able to collect.
I am currently working every other Friday off, did every Friday off from last October to April this year. It's the biggest quality-of-life improvement in my career. Well worth the pay cut. Everyone should have the option of doing it.
It seems to me that ICANN came up with a plausible interpretation and the pushback from the regulator should be a wake-up call to those who naively claimed GDPR was reasonable and no big deal.

I think it makes a lot of sense for a domain registrar to keep basic information in the long-term, about who registered what. I find it odd that this has become a point of contention.
There is no company and product, there is a community and open specifications.
In DIY circles, that ecosystem seems to be still somewhat alive (with client software running on Raspberry Pis etc), which is pretty telling about the alternatives...
You find racial discrimination acceptable? Or also virtuous? Is it a good goal to strive for in 21st century society? Do you find virtue in breaking people up into racial and gendered groups, and then applying pre-calculated policies to "even them out"?

In 2017, Apple's revenues were $229B. Apple had 123,000 employees. This means the average employee at Apple pulled in $1.86M, not in salary, but in value to the company.

You used the term "not-so-great", not "bad". You're not going to spot all the bad ones. And you can fire bad hires, limiting your downside.

Consider two possibilities:

•Hiring managers genuinely do select the top talent, which means that now the only people they have left to interview aren't qualified to hold the jobs, and thus they're wasting their time.

•Hiring managers don't know everything, try to make the best decisions, but often hire poor performers, and this means that their role in hiring is not as some kind of highly skilled "nerd whisperer" who can divine good candidates from bad candidates, but merely a utilitarian cog in the corporate machine, that tends to overestimate both its skill and its importance. If this were medicine, it would be institutional quackery.
Asian women are very much underrepresented in leadership roles in silicon valley.
Then require registrars to do so legally. They probably already are in many cases, due to long-running storage requirements for business documents (e.g. they probably keep "we billed Mr. X for example.com on $date, and he paid using the credit card on file" for many years).

Less clear why ICANN needs to store that data too, I think it's right that they should have to properly justify that. ICANN has made up rules however they liked forever and ignored warnings about privacy for over a decade, and about GDPR specifically for years, so I have to admit I have little compassion for their self-created problem here.
The surprising thing might be that humans and other "thinking" animals are nothing more than a series of fast if-then-else rules too.

Not sure if this one has been debunked yet, but I remember learning in my psych class about the guy who fell asleep, got out of bed, drove a car a bunch of miles, and at his destination murdered his in-laws, all while apparently asleep.

It was used as an example for conscious/unconscious behavior.
Jessica price has a history of saying pretty offensive stuff (e.g., and in particular, a mean spirited comment about a youtubers death [0]), but she wasn't ever fired for those. I think she was fired this time because she was on social media talking specifically about work, then going on to insult Guild Wars fans and beyond that, multiple 'partners'[1]. Derior in particular has a named NPC in-game [2].

To give some more context in general, this takes place right after an AMA on the guildwars2 subreddit [3] -- which she starts her twitter thread by referencing -- where she was acting in an official capacity as a GW2 developer. She later goes on to say she doesn't have to pretend to like people in the context of twitter [4], which I took to mean as in contrast to the AMA.

And in case there is any question about if the streamer was coming from a negative place and that she was at least right about his intentions, he was praising her in particular on a stream just before the exchange [5]. It's almost tragic. He probably only engaged with her because he thought so much of her.

All this said, I think it more sad than anything. Jessica actually gave some pretty great answers in the AMA, and I was impressed just like Deroir. I was very surprised to see this rash behavior right after her measure responses. And to also lose Peter Fries, who has been with the franchise since either the beginning or very near it, is disheartening.

Also, I think the article is avoiding posting Derior's entire original comment since he ends it very politely. You might want to check all 4 tweets yourself [6], or even the entire thread. Keep in mind that Jessica Price goes on to make other tweets outside the thread though. I guess it's also worth mentioning that the reddit comment referenced in the article had negative karma and was deleted [7].

The Squeezebox was my fave too. I owned the v1, v2 and v3. The audio was pretty amazing for the time. In the end I ended up using it as a digital streaming service.

The closest I've seen around now is https://roonlabs.com/ -- it's pricey but does many of the cool the things Slim/Squeeze used to do (and a little more).
I've been wondering about how do get a gig like this for some time.

Are you a regular salaried employee? How did you approach your employer about entering this arrangement?
You should. It happens all the time, and more often than not whitewashed later so if you read the history later all looks dandy and nothing more than a minor healthy disagreement.

Dan Shechtman had to wait for Linus Pauling to die to be unlabeled as fraud (and later receive a nobel). Turns out he wasn’t the first to observe the supposedly impossible 5-fold crystal symmetry - but he was the only one willing to risk his name and career to make it known (and was not far from being pushed out as a fraud).

Barbara McClintock had a similar story with jumping genes. Semmelweis with washing hands.

There are cranks, of course, and they likely outnumber the real discoverers 100:1 - but the price of knowledge is eternal vigilance against prevailing dogmas, especially those of deferring everything to leaders of the field.

I've seen reports that locals are already preparing for disaster tourism to the area once the situation is resolved.
Some people just don't have anything significant value to offer for the society. IQ follows a normal distribution, half is below 100 and 15% is below 85. These are not the people that can produce any products or services that you would be interested in enough to pay them a lot of money.

It's not the "system's" property, just a natural consequence of what products and services we want.
The author works for a company in the Auth space, but said company has no products based on this specification, and it was created prior to him working there.
In this case the cost of the service is close to zero, so it's virtually free. It was similar to phone operator charging for caller ID, an easy way to make a quick buck by flipping a bit somewhere.
The abstract for the study (which is behind a paywall) states of Thomas's work "While respectable for its time". The article doesn't feel like it reflects this sentiment.

The title also seems unfairly overstated, claiming Thomas was 'spectacularly wrong'. He correctly identified where the rocks came from, to within a few miles of the location identified in the study.

Firstly, "ignoring the situation completely with unpredictable results" is a pretty clear permission to do arbitrary optimizations, as long as they preserve the semantics in the case where the execution doesn't exhibit UB.

Secondly, in ISO standards Notes are by definition non-normative, hence your exegesis as it pertains to C99 and later versions is invalid anyway.
Call this super-lazy, but it works for me, and it's cheap.

Say my startup is foo.com and I've registered it at namecheap. I'll get a corresponding gmail account (foodotcom@gmail.com) and use that for my outgoing correspondence.

Where you want to impress with your custom domain is incoming email, and in that case, you can set up mail redirects (catchalls in particular) for your new foo.com domain. So if I meet VC Mike at an event, I can direct him to sales@foo.com or info@foo.com. The "handoff" for when I email him back out of the blue from my foodotcom@gmail.com can be a little fraught, but it's good enough until I want to afford actual gmail services or similar.

It's a great way to segment off new areas of your business, so if you hire Vickie in customer service, you can autoforward support@ to vickie@personalmail.mail or vickiefoo@gmail.com, until you hit the big leagues.

> You find racial discrimination acceptable

Clearly.

> Is it a good goal etc

It’s not a goal, it’s a tool to combat systemic racism.

> Do you find virtue

Here’s what I think:

I think there’s no inherent genetic gender or race component that should impact outcomes in people’s relative success. If you believe there is, you are literally a racist or a sexist, by the very definitions of those terms. Given that, if you can predict a group of people’s outcomes based on their race or gender, there is an inequality of opportunity. I believe that the inequality of opportunity should be tackled.

I believe that tackling this is an urgent issue. I believe that affirmative action — like setting up these funds — is a working solution.
>fabrications are usually discovered.

I think you are being far too optimistic, here. It depends on your admittance threshold for "fabrication" but intentionally skewed interpretation of data seems to be the bread and butter of academic science in many fields.
This sounds like a violation of the prime directive.
I'll join the chorus recommending against inventing the wheel, unless you're doing that to learn SAML in which case I say more power to you. You should look into the existing work done by Roland Hedberg, SUNET, and others on pysaml2, which is now part of the IdentityPython project:

https://idpy.org/

https://github.com/IdentityPython

That said, I can't think of anyone using pysaml2 to implement identity providers aside from SATOSA, an IdP proxy. Nearly everyone I know runs either Shibboleth or SimpleSAMLphp. I recommend you run Shibboleth because there's a whole litany of interoperability issues you _won't_ encounter if you do. (The same goes for SimpleSAMLphp, but I have less experience with it.)

The IdentityPython and Shibboleth projects have a lot of overlap in terms of membership, and if you want to meet them and connect to the research and education side of the federated IdM community, which drives a lot of the open source work, you should come to the Internet2 Technology Exchange this year and stay for ACAMP. It's a super smart bunch of people. You'll learn a lot.
Had a good look into this, also quite a complicated solution.

I've been looking for a good solution to the "I have 3 small web apps that are used by the same people, I should centralise authentication and authorization" problem, and yet to find something sensible for that usecase.
Turns out if you fallaciously conflate terms, you can call anyone anything you like.
True; but we have no evidence either way for whether any other offences have occured.
With a flexible pod, you'd partially deflate it to get it through awkward areas, which would make it negatively buoyant. Once re-inflated to the previous pressure it would be neutrally buoyant once again.

Re-inflation could be done via the same gas cylinder that's being used to replenish the air in the pod.
I see.

Just mentioned them, because many ignore them as they are commercial products, yet I would consider them the surviving ones from Lisp Machine days developer workflows.

So I would assume, parallel to the the graphical developer tooling, they also offer quite good compilers.
If your moral worldview doesn't equate those effected by abortion as valueless clumps of cells,

The moral scale of legalized abortion dwarfs that of modern wars

--------

Between 1945 and 1992, there were 149 major wars, killing more than 23 million people.

...

Recent developments in warfare have significantly heightened the dangers for children. During the last decade, it is estimated (and these figures, while specific, are necessarily orders of magnitude) that child victims have included:

2 million killed;
4-5 million disabled;
12 million left homeless;
more than 1 million orphaned or separated from their parents;
some 10 million psychologically traumatized.4

https://www.unicef.org/sowc96/1cinwar.htm

There have been more than 45 million abortions just in the US since Roe v Wade

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abortion_statistics_in_the_U...

-------
-------
-------

I'm guessing that's not your moral world view, but for the sake of understanding the people you disagree with, you should realize that they view legalized abortion as one of the great humanitarian crises of our time, which easily outweighs most other issues that we squabble about. (And yeah, justifies teaming up with otherwise unsavory bedfellows)
Build an app that would remind you about things to do when you are in the vicinity.

Rational: there are plenty of things in my live I should do that are not time based, but location based. Post a package to a friend: when close to a postoffice. Buy shaving foam, when close to a supermarket. Buy these earrings, when close to that jewelry shop where she pointed them out to you. Buy flowers, when close to a flower shop. See that exhibition, when walking by. Visit a friend, when close.

Include the option for businesses to send you sweet deals when close and you'd be making money to pay the salaries.
> The decision is based on the sex and race of the founder.

What you just described is the definition of discrimination, not racism or sexism. These words have meanings and you can look them up. Saying it's racist and sexist is just a disingenuous way to shore up drama when a more accurate (but less provocative) term is available.
Yes, and I would emphasize the funding aspect. Archaeology is not a discipline we spend tons of money on anyway. I would expect errors to live on longer here than in say cancer research.
I wonder how the argument changes if you know you need an API for your mobile application that's almost identical in features to the web page.

If you go the "Rails/Django way" with server side rendered templates and, say, a bit of jQuery for fancy stuff -- you'll end up duplicating lots of code for the API (validation, routing, maybe even business logic).

Anyone got experience with swapping your models/controllers for an API while keeping the rest of Django's/Rails' niceties? (authentication/sessions, Django's forms system, CSRF, etc.)

OTOH having Django/Rails merely as a template system you probably could also go for very simple, self-contained client-rendered JS pages (e.g. .vue files). Not much difference there I guess?
> The message here, regardless of intention, is that black women cannot compete on merit.

You might infer that if you assume that everyone assesses merits without bias.

I would argue that this is not the case and that black women’s merits are not assesses without bias.
I can already see how AI assistants call AI assistants to book an AI driven service for their AI bosses, to find out 0.3 seconds later that their AI boss being an AI doesn't need that service, calling again to remove the booking. Nobody notices that this happens, because no human is involved in the actual conversation. But of course both of these conversations lead to events where data needs to be transfered from the calendars to finance, billing etc. These transfers are done by humans of course because AI would be too expensive for that.

I see people going to work 16 hours a day handling transferring these transactions related to haircuts for AI bosses that don't physically exist (and therefore don't need haircuts), from one database to the other. The AI boss doesn't see the need for 8h workdays, because he's not human. And the money for the work doesn't need to be enough to afford living, right? The AI government will pay a base income to anybody anyways.
Why did they get so mad?
>>> Such a monumental procession would have been akin to transporting the space shuttle Endeavor in a parade, for all to see and celebrate, the archaeologists said.

This is another one of those "sounds good" ideas that the article is complaining about. The total population of the UK would have varied from 40,000 lower bound to 200k in this period (see below - figures really hard to find) Basically that's empty.

It's like the pyramids - at some point the labour force needed looks like "everyone" - processions did not go "past" anyone - there was basically no one to go past. And at some level of population, there was no one to go past because they were all pushing huge slabs of stone.

It's worth noting this took hundreds of years to achieve as well - this was socially deep - and we understand nothing about it ... weird

"Spectacularly wrong" here appears to mean that he correctly identified that the bluestones came from the Preseli hills almost 200 miles from Stonehenge (and was the first to do so), but didn't get quite the right outcrop.

He thought they came from Carn Meini; the article says we now think they came from Craig Rhos-y-felin and Carn Goedog.

https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2013/nov/20/archaeologis... says that Carn Goedog is less than a mile from Carn Meini.
