I just pulled up the Wikipedia page for Guccifer 2.0 [1]. You can click through from there to find plenty of sources. That page opens with the following:

>"Guccifer 2.0" is a persona which claimed to be the hacker(s) that hacked into the Democratic National Committee (DNC) computer network and then leaked its documents to the media, the website WikiLeaks, and a conference event. According to indictments in February 2018, the persona is operated by Russian military intelligence (GRU)

The available evidence suggests the Russians hacked the DNC and then used Wikileaks as the primary method of distributing that hacked data. I don't know whether Wikileaks was aware of their role, but either way Wikileaks clearly was used as a distribution tool by Putin and the Russians.

You just filled up my BINGO card by saying "clearly" to indicate that you have no idea what you are talking about.
I live somewhere (Scotland) where there are no plea bargains. The whole concept seems bizarre to me, essentially negotiating punishment (especially having the prosecution involved in deciding the punishment).
Strictly speaking, you're right, students aren't admitted by an advisor. However, often they are admitted to work with a specific advisor. That is, there are schools where an advisor cannot unilaterally get you in (its up to the grad admissions committee), but unless there's someone that's wants to take you as a grad student, you're not getting in.
I think the problem is that it's not available everywhere on all mobile devices (Android, iPads and older iPhones don't have it) so it's not utilized well or implemented as much as it could be, nor is it a universal behavior users can internalize like they do with panning and pinch to zoom. Android somewhat mimics it with long pressing, but iOS also has long pressing as well as 3D touch. Without ubiquity it can't become a primary UI mechanism, only tacked on to something that must work without it.

Personally though I don't think 3D touch is any less discoverable than your right mouse button on a computer. If you have a 3D touch capable device you had to configure it at least once when you got a new device capable of it so you know it exists just like you know a right mouse button click state often exists (Macs don't even ship with obvious right-click capability, the OS has it disabled by default and neither of their mouse input types have an obvious right click mechanism just by looking at them)
So I used to smoke and then started juuling, and then eventually quit so I think I have a good perspective here.

The stories about users upping the amount of nicotine they consume is very true. I was a casual smoker (only a few cigs a day), and when I switched to juuling I quickly became a pod a day vaper, and was very addicted to niccotine. They really need to release differing concentrations -- while the 50mg is great for pack a day smokers, they need to release lower amounts for all the other types of smokers wishing to quit out there. The current formula has more nicotine per puff than when smoking a cigarette. I think they should get that on par, as many users with oral fixations just like to take many puffs, but may not want the nic.

However, when it came time to quit, it actually wasn't that bad. The biggest hurdle was the mental addiction to the act of juuling, but I didn't feel any withdrawals, and I didn't get quitting sickness (which I have gotten in the past when quitting directly from smoking)
MSRP $35 for the device kit (comes with the vape and the charger) $50 for the starter kit (device kit + variety pack of 4 pods). At least as recently as 6 months ago it wasn't uncommon to see starter kits going for $70 in NYC. $15.99 for a pack of 4 pods, often shops will charge ~$20, depending on area.
I think a big part of it is how over the past few years, the internet has truly gone mainstream in a way that it hadn't prior, namely the ad spend online, is starting to catch up with the time spent online as compared to other platforms such as TV, print, ect.
depends which side of the table you sit on....

I just wonder what is the bigger story behind this anyway? I have come across this study that claims that UK has the largest net debt to other EU countries. [1] There is significant amount of debt that is "mutual" within the EU in that it could be "canceled out" (I.e. UK owes Germany, Germany owes Italy, Italy owes UK) So here is the result: http://econ.anthonyjevans.com/2012/08/eu-debt-write-off/writ...

UK €460Bln, Italy €204Bln ... Germany €108Bln, France just €1Bln.

So this clearly shows that UK might indeed profit from the devaluation of pound. Is UK so far on the debt spiral that has to do it? Thus Brexit?

The other advantage of idling is that when the windscreen is misted up, it doesn't matter that you can't see through it!

You can wipe condensation off, but I've always found it has a tendency to reappear quickly. Perhaps I'm wiping wrongly, but the only solution I ever found to work reliably is to leave the aircon and windscreen heater running until the inside of the windscreen has warmed enough to prevent immediate reoccurrence.

That's meant idling the engine in every car I've owned. Cabin heating never seems to run at full blast unless the engine is powering it...

I love Dropbox, but this kind of data-gathering without explicit permission is bananas. What I'd really love to see added to Dropbox is client-side encryption (i.e. I want to manage my own keys so nobody can monkey with my data). And yes, I know I can store an encrypted container inside Dropbox, but that defeats the purpose of easily accessing my data from every device.
Work with recruiters. They will take their cut but you should still be able to make more than $40-$50 an hour and if you are a W2 contractor you can probably get cheaper health insurance working through them.

But why are you contracting at all if those are the rates you are getting? If you live in a major metropolitan area in the US, you could make much more as a permanent employee and get benefits.

Again work with local recruiters who specialize in tech.
My Grandfather is one of those 11%. However I suspect he's a bit different from the others. Up until the late 90s he was programming Fortran and COBOL. He started during the Korean War or just after I believe. Towards the end he was mostly doing contract work as one of the few people who could still work on them. But after he retired technology stopped for him. The latest innovation he'll use is a DVD player. The only reason he doesn't have a tube TV is it died five years ago and we got him a flat screen.

To be fair he may never have gotten used to using a GUI on a PC or the internet at large. But still, it's my grandmother who runs their email account and shared cellphone.

Here Comes the Collective Economy
The economy is not zero-sum. If you're getting offered airplane tickets for cheaper than what everyone paid, it's probably because the airline has extra seats available on the plane that would otherwise go unused. No airline would bump a passenger paying a higher fare in favor of a passenger paying a lower fare (barring PR disasters and such) - they'd be strictly losing money on that deal.

Offering an unused seat for less money because they have knowledge that you would buy it at a discount price makes everybody strictly better off - you gain a discount vacation at a price you otherwise couldn't get, they sell a seat that would they would otherwise waste, and the data broker who arranges the transaction takes a cut of the value generated by this transaction.
Considering she's still retweeting QAnon BS, I'm not surprised everyone is leaning toward the latter.
Part of the hypothesis of Document Coin [1] is that when people have “road feel” for the value of the information they share, they’ll be better able to prioritize their own privacy. Eg if you know some advertiser will pay you for personal data, you’re more likely to hold out for a better deal, and be picky about who you share with.

Do you mean guilt-the-emotion, or guilt as a causal relation? Neither of those are beyond the pervue of science. The only troubles you get -- the reasons scientists don't engage in this kind of theorizing -- is that the domain is both complex and culturally sensitive, and thus work doesn't receive funding and appreciation. It's not because it can't be done.
How would you be so confident that neuron is both the software and the hardware? Do we actually understand how we have cognition ? There is tremendous amount of electrical activity in the brain (and the entire nervous system). One could argue it's a low dimensional signal like an activor or a much higher abstraction like the software we run on our chips. Just because we use neural network like structures to generate activation weights, how does it follow that's how the brain works?
This is a very easy list of things they want you to do:

1. Contact the nationwide credit-reporting agencies as soon as possible to
2. Add fraud alert
3. Place a “security freeze” on your credit account: with experian, trans union, equifax
4. Watch Bills, Statements and Mailing Lists
5. Contact the Federal Trade Commission, if you suspect or know that you are the victim of identity theft (report to their fraud dept)
6. If you believe you are a victim of identity theft you should immediately report same to law enforcement and/or your state attorney general

Serious question: given that this happens quite frequently (with with Equifax! One of the places where you must go to report this stuff), are there any services that do some of the above steps automatically on your behalf?

While I agree with the objective - that cars/trucks should shutdown instead of idling, I have to wonder, do we really want to a society where people are paid to report their neighbors? Sure it seems like this guy is doing everything properly (documenting real cases of random idling), but what happens when people start using things like this for harassment/revenge, fabricating idling cases (similar to the Uber vomit cleanup scam), and generally making a living off getting people fined.

Compare this to a trained law enforcement officer who doesn't personally make money on every fine who will take the whole situation into account, rather than just trying to make a buck.

This make work out fine at this small scale, but we should be cautious when it comes to creating untrained citizen bounty hunters.

> suffering and "hard times" are eliminated

There's an ancient intellectual tradition of Buddhism, very much concerned with elimination of suffering. What they came up with is that to stop suffering, one has to stop existing ("break the circle of re-incarnation").

What we can realistically hope for using engineering is to eliminate gross material causes of suffering, like famines, or large-scale warfare, or various illnesses. We can hope to eliminate hardships, but not tragedies, which are endogenous.

Just saying.

Homomorphic encryption is cool, but it's not the sort of thing most developers will want to use in their apps. Most cryptography failures (BEAST, CRIME, the Apple iMessage attack, etc.) that allow plaintext recovery are the result of chosen-ciphertext attacks.

You want authenticated encryption instead. https://tonyarcieri.com/all-the-crypto-code-youve-ever-writt...

You can sort of build something authenticated on top of a homomorphic cryptosystem, but it's kind of a hack: https://paragonie.com/blog/2017/12/assuring-ciphertext-integ...

Net Neutrality Scoreboard
Directly or indirectly connected isn't my point. I was referring to the large amount of electrical activity in the brain and we don't really understand what it actually encodes. Unless we reverse engineer it (which is insanely hard), it's hard to know what's "running" on the hardware.

Or if we can perfectly replicate the brain using our model of deep learning. I'm a skeptic but that would prove it too.
Ugg.... All-Caps.
The biggest mistake in all of this isn't even diesel vs gasoline, it's that the majority of engine and technology advancements have gone into making cars even more ridiculously powerful and oversize. If a fully loaded van can clear a 10% incline alpine pass with a mere 60 kW engine, there is no justification whatsoever to have any more than half that power in a car driving in the city, or pretty much all over the place.

Gasoline vs diesel feels a bit like fructose syrup vs table sugar, it's pretty clear in both the US and Europe that regulations have not kept up enough of a downward slope on emissions to prevent technological advancement from going into grotesque growths like the SUV instead of cleaning up the exhaust and reducing consumption further.
I don't think it's right for you to be downvoted; this sort of information is welcome.

My view of the particulars, having subscribed to Reason for a few years and read it for years before that, is that Reason is a testament to the reality that broken clock politics are real. In other words, people who fund things that you and I might normally not like also occasionally fund great things.

It's a hard thing to understand. The US government funds NPR and the national park system. I imagine that most people who like those things aren't big fans of the things to which the lion's share of the money goes (wars of aggression and enriching crony capitalists).

But Reason magazine? Shit man, I'll stand behind Reason all day. It's a wonderful publication. Kudos to them for doing good things with bad money.

In one of your comments you say you have improved a lot in two months or so, so perhaps you need a little more practice and I think you could improve a lot more (less time for solving puzzles and writing better code). Anyway, I have tried to solve some of the puzzles. Perhaps other people in this thread can give more valuable information about your coding style. I wish you the best.

findMedianSortedArrays using Haskell:

m [] a n = a !! n
m (x:_) (y:_) 0 = if x<=y then x else y
m (x:xs) (y:ys) n = if x<=y then m xs (y:ys) (n-1)
else m (x:xs) ys (n-1)

let m1 a b = if odd n1 then m a b n12
else (m a b n12 + m a b (n12-1))/2
where n1 = length a + length b; n12 = div n1 2

let findMedianSortedArrays = m1

I was mostly with you until the "horseshoe theory" stuff, which seems out of place. If anything, "horseshoe theory" is a recent fabrication to reinforce the notion that the space outside of our false-binary choices are all invalid, and equally so.

I see this complaint about parents a lot. I interact with my kids all day. We cook dinner together, we play playdoh, I read to them endlessly. And I'll bike them to the park, and then I sit there and play with my phone while they run around.

I do not find it fun to climb on kids playgrounds. I don't enjoy helping my son across the monkey bars, and he makes more progress at it when I don't.

Parenting can be mentally and physically exhausting, and it's really not fair or at all useful to judge a parent based on a glimpse of 5 minutes of their day.

> The article is not peer reviewed, nor are most of the citations.

Sure, the article is not peer reviewed. Neither is your comment. Dismissing the citations as mostly not peer reviewed is just disingenuous; the majority of them are from journals on energy, conferences on applied energy, and other relevant fields of research.

Using "the local gas supplier and the technicians maintaining high-pressure compressors" as an counter-argument is just as flawed, unless you're seriously claiming that they are more likely to be a source of peer reviewed knowledge about the latest developments in compressible energy storage than the work of the cited researchers.

Look, I'm not saying that this is ready for usage; the article itself ends with:

> In conclusion, small-scale compressed air energy storage could be a promising alternative to batteries, but the research is still in its early stages – the first study on small-scale CAES was published in 2010 – and new ideas will continue to shed light on how best to develop the technology. At the moment, there are no commercial products available, and setting up your own system can be quite intimidating if you are new to pneumatics. Simply getting hold of the right components and fittings is a headache, as these come in a bewildering variety and are only sold to industries.

But you're being dismissive of a technology in quick development without even engaging with the article.
