Off the top of my head:

- banking crisis and the complete lack of judicial redress

- the WMD lies for the second Iraq war and the lack of judicial response for the perrpetrators

- tobacco/health disinformation campaigns and the lack of judicial response

- widening income disparity and the lack of political will/power to reverse it

- climate change disinformation and the lack of any meaningful political action

- systematic tax dodging via tax havens and the lack of political response

- militarization of police

In general, the fact that for-profit companies consistently succeed in undermining the ability for society to correct them (by "financing" politicians, by disinforming the public, or by simply cheating around the regulations).

One of the reasons that the GMO and anti-vax discussions can fester on is because organizations like the EPA and the FDA are viewed as completely corrupt; the authorities simply have no credible authority left.

Amazing, thanks for sharing. It may also be because they had some many rounds in private that other ‘non-Unicorns’ might not have the luxury of.
if you're up for desoldering stuff you may as well just replace the ECU with your own one which is happy to start the car.

I demand a source that teaches me how to do this. :)

Orrr if you're in Chicago let's go figure it out ourselves!
This one is a valid sentence in Dutch:

"Nelli plaatst op n parterretrap n pot staalpillen."

The 'n's are a bit of an issue though, 'n in dutch means 'een', but reversed that doesn't work so the 'e's got dropped and replaced by "'" but they move from one side of the n's to the other in the reversal.
It's strange how cyclists have become an outgroup though. Carlton Reid ("Roads Were Not Made for Cars") suggests it goes all the way back to the 1880s and reckless young men on "pennies". Still one of the common criticisms is "young hoodlums on bikes terrorising the neighbourhood". At least that distinction implies it's not all cyclists, just the "hoodlum" variety.

I wonder about the endurance of these organic cells aside from their strides in efficiency. I recall hearing a few "exotic" solar cell materials having the issue of being too ephemeral especially for the toxic materials involved despite technically better efficiency in operation and they got beaten out by cheap silicon. The applications of these would be remarkable if they lack additional complications.

The title set up sounds like a lazy scientist joke : technically you can call planting a forest, call them organic solar cells and burn them later for a non-direct electricity solution without doing any research.
The employer and employee each pay 1.45% into Medicare (and OASDI 6.2%) at these salaries.
The premise of this article that you assess people's honesty and reliability by ambushing them with a trick (heuristic which is opaque to them) expecting only certain responses to be "correct", is intrinsically dishonest and low integrity. Although I would like to think that I would often "pass the test" here, I would be extremely reluctant to work with anyone who had pulled any bush league BS like this.

In my mind this is very similar to interviewing someone with a trick question/riddle/conundrum and failing them if they don't answer one of a specific set of "right answers" that only you know. It's a great way to feel smart by rejecting people but not a great way to discriminate between good and poor candidates.
Right, I'm referring to the implementation, not the theory/back-of-napkin goal.

I say that this particular website is full of what I would broadly/sweepingly describe as toxicity. Not 100.00% full - there are surely a few people in there that are balanced - but I have no inclination to field the noise ratio to find them; the process would be too depressing.

This is a rough description of what I mean by "sad".

I do completely agree that free speech is necessary - for things like oppressive dictatorships in foreign countries, hardware ownership versus do-not-debug laws, and broadcasting events that the mainstream media have blacklisted.

I don't think free speech is for racism, which I don't believe in in any case: we all bleed red, there's no point going rabid over an arbitrary bunch of people, since any grouping (of anything groupable) that scales large enough will net you all the "look how bad this is" statistics you could possibly want, which completely devalidates the basis of racism et al in the first place (IMO).

Why are people trying to shove everything into frameworks? Any time you use a framework, you have to play by someone else’s rules, limited by that person’s imagination, experience and insight. If you need something that the framework doesn’t provide, well tough noogies, you have to write it yourself! Might as well write it myself anyway with only the parts I need, keeping it lean and mean (sorry but after so many decades of dissappointments, I don’t trust other people to keep it lean and mean for me).

Looking at the modules, this is not how an experienced shell programmer would write code; functional — yes; object oriented — never. Part of the reason those of us who write in the shell do so is to escape the horror of meaningless, kilometers long stack traces and unhandled exceptions, allowing us to keep our code small and fast.

And bash, couldn’t the author have picked up ksh93 and built upon a powerful, POSIX-compliant programming language? Why aren’t we as an industry striving to be better, instead of propagating de facto fashion trends?

OCD fears are often completely irrational, and sufferers often know it. That doesn't make the fears and anxiety less real. The common cleaning compulsion isn't so much to make things clean, but an attempt to cope with the fear and anxiety.

Still, education could point out that the behavior is not rational, and help acknowledge that there is a problem if the behavior is still necessary.

In some ways, the best compulsions are the ones that have a solution like washing your hands or checking the lock on the door four times. Unfortunately a lot of the 'what if' scenarios can't be so easily dispelled.
At the time we were forced to have Comcast by our apartment complex - and by “forced”, I mean it was part of the lease agreement - they implemented a 300Gb cap. They hadn’t introduced the $50 Fee that allowed “unlimited” internet. Even if you decided to pay for business internet, you still had to pay the $99 on top of the cost for business. Of course since everyone had the same package;, everyone also had the same WiFi router. We ended up stringing three 100 foot Ethernet cords from the router.

My parents live in a smaller town where their only choice is crappy cable. AT&T discontinued DSL but my mom kept her DSL service when they went for cable internet (long story but it made some sense for them).
That doesn't explain why they hate sales lunch so much.
Yep, the first picture in the upper right of the wikipedia article is worth a thousand words. In it we can clearly see there is a third hidden variable which is somehow getting mixed in with x.
This is a very clear example of hate speech and people in the comment section seems to unknowingly or deliberately conflating it with free speech. Free speech does not mean you call upon people to incite violence against a particular set of people.
I'd say calling it a "weapon" is misleading, using a bit of a loaded term. It comes off as click bate to me. ARPAnet wasn't meant as an offensive weapon.

Second, I'd say that the Internet qualifies as a fully realized spin off in 2018. :-)

My usual routine of accepting tasks is: wruza, see this endless field of grass with no civilization in sight? Soon hundreds of people will be waiting here every morning for their orange juice. No pressure, you have a week.

I bet that looking for someone who doesn’t rage hiss at that would take much more time than is usually required to accomplish everything to at least 80%.

Salesmen are always high with their “so many people to choose from, let’s choose”. Nope, you have no choice actually, if you really need your “orange juice” thing. No matter how many smart stories you spit out.

high calories, high salt, high fat

None of those are bad things (except salt if you have existing health conditions, and even then it may be a lack of potassium rather than an excess of salt). The single worst part of fast food is probably the sugar content. Mostly soda, but it's also added to nearly everything (a fast food bun I had the other day was ridiculously sweet).

Before WWII, the US was primarily an agricultural economy. People worked hard, without much automation, and food was comparatively expensive. IMO lack of physical exertion is a huge part of the problem, if only because of the discipline it builds and the reduced opportunities to snack.
I think his point is that there are much bigger problems that they should be tackling especially since a disabled person can easily give a good old honk to tell the person to move if they came around and actually needed the spot.
The founders held those truths to be self-evident, but in some contexts (say , outside of educated 18th century gentry) they must be argued.
Yes it is.

I mean, there's a law against it. But there is a lot of known warrent-less wire-tapping, both by govt and industry, and everyone shrugs.

And it's not even a de jure vs de facto thing, since by now a lot of the ostensibly illegal stuff has been either defended successfully in courts or buttressed by the govt.
Hmm, if you can improve the UI by yourself, could you not submit a pull request to do that? That would probably still allow you to use the improved UI without fear of having access cut off.

In the post I was replying to, you were asking about whether there is a downside for the lender. As I mentioned, there are scenarios in which the lender does badly, but in this one, the lender gets what it wants, a stream of interest income followed by the return of principal. The borrower has, in effect, and probably inadvertently, flipped the house, but if you were doing that intentionally, you would be much better off selling the property rather than allowing it to be repossessed. Of course, someone facing a balloon payment he cannot afford is probably best advised to sell before repossession, but if that is not the situation he wanted to be in, it is likely a pyrrhic outcome at best.

I suppose someone intending to flip a property might prefer a balloon mortgage if it has lower payments - financing flips is not something I know anything about - but that would seem to be a win-win situation, at least up to questions of risk. The important question with regard to so-called predatory lending is how things usually work out in practice.

I see many negative comments here, and this article feels like a tale more than a real story.

My mother is great in business and that is one of the main things I've ever learned. Never say a straight no, it always boils down to pricing. With enough budget, all projects are possible. There is no BS in that.

Want some Big Data or ML for simple analytics? Sure, I'll find someone to do it or learn enough myself, but you're gonna pay for it. Blockchain? Same thing.
I always thought it odd how our media so heavily focused on the few hundred/thousand soldiers who died in an illegal invasion of iraq but not the hundreds of thousands of iraqi children who died. Is it bias or something else?

Also, the NYTimes is eerily quiet about the role it and the rest of the media played in pushing for the war in iraq. No censure, no penalties, no nothing when they lied to the american people.
It is probably retrieving the "SKC" code which is necessary to program keys.

However, this is by no means secure where the car's ECU will happily dump its entire storage (including the SKC code) over the diagnostics port if you ask nicely.
There are different types of running red lights (and the dangers are country dependent). I myself frequently pull away at the lights while still red a second before they go green. I do it to get out ahead of the traffic for my own safety and to get clear of the traffic so I’m not in the way. This is in London, where all pedestrians are crossing at the same time and there are no cars moving.

The main danger in it is drivers becoming angry (totally irrationally) and reckless.

Totally agree; starting any relationship with a lie is a terrible idea. I think the "Reverse Orange Juice Test" is that anyone who uses the orange juice test on you is being dishonest, and therefore disqualifies themselves from being a client.

Same with the "difficult but do-able" side of things. It might be difficult but do-able for most people, but the person you are talking to has already done it and is going to package something up for you based on their expertise. Like every situation, honest, realistic discussion of the process is the real winner. Tricks don't work; communication does.

On the other hand, many of the worst parts of our society have come about as a direct result of drug prohibition. Police corruption and empowerment of drug cartels to name two.
Actually price stability and a lack of predictability are what is killing oil business. Sometimes it is cheap, sometimes it is not cheap. We've seen prices range from the lower thirties to over a hundred dollars per barrel in the last decade. Countries like Russia, Venezuela, and Saudi Arabia are suffering economically when prices go down. They 'fix' it by over supplying and subsequently under supplying. This then causes production bottlenecks and shortages that drive the price up again. Meanwhile their production is getting more expensive because they've exhausted all the cheap options which means they need the prices to be high most of the time or they are losing money. Likewise fracking based extraction in e.g. Texas is only economically viable if prices stay high.

Over supply due to countries dumping their reserves to balance their budgets are keeping prices low. This makes investments in more expensive ways to produce oil less attractive. Eventually cheap reserves will run out. So cheap oil is a double edged sword.

That's why wind projects like typically have investors behind them that used to dabble in oil. Just makes more sense to that than to invest in exploiting oil reserves that may never deliver enough ROI to be worth the trouble.
Cool, thanks for the lesson and info.
Same here. In addition I can't stand the wild swings in volume. Baby sleeping in the other room so you set it to the lowest volume possible where you can hear. When it breaks into a commercial, the volume seems to increase by 50%
But I don't want to build relationship I need one off breakfast for business people (or other consultancy one off work). I need it done, I need to hire new guy because my usual ones are not available. I don't want to get ripped off.

If I want to build relationship I would start with small project and work with more important ones over months with that contractor.

But reality is you have stuff to be done, you have to hire someone from the street NOW and deliver. You don't have budget/time to test out 5 guys.
> I don't think free speech is for racism

"Free speech without x" is not free speech.

Also you don't need to look to look as far as "oppressive dictatorships in foreign countries" for a need for free speech. Over 50 people had their homes raided in the middle of the night for criticizing the government.

I'd probably charge them extra for it; there was a game dev consultant blog article on HN awhile ago where he charged them extra for calling him out for a ridiculous reason; same thing, if they are going to throw out phantom difficult projects, they obviously expect higher expertise, so charge them for the expertise.

> failing them if they don't answer one of a specific set of "right answers"

A few years ago I did a round of interviews at Google. Despite what they say about not doing those kinds of questions anymore, they gave me a whole slew of them, in programming form. Not "how much would it cost to wash all the windows in NYC", but questions like "given a grid of land, each block having a price, pick the largest rectangle under $X".

If I'd heard of it before and knew the solution already, I did great. If I hadn't, I did poorly- but generally figured out the algorithm they wanted within a day- just not in the 45 minutes given. Alas, I guess I'm not "Googly" enough.
> Namely it was. From 1970 to 1983 when sockets came. Are network interfaces files? Routing tables? I have not counted, but there should be numerous system calls do not take a single file descriptor parameter. And even those who take one, the object behind the file descriptor is often not discoverable in the filesystem.

Good point. Plan 9 re-encapsulated everything, I think, but no other UNIX has done so.

I kind of didn't really factor this in, I guess I conveniently forgot about sockets in the mental model I was using to reason with in my previous comment.

So, that means the complexity train will just move forward, I guess. This exists now, it's presumably not the end of the world, and yay now I have more things to remember about Linux internals.

My two quibbles that remain are that

- this is not easily discoverable (yay) or (currently) able to be visualized, so people's understanding of this will depend on their mental modelling being good

- no, everything isn't a file, but we just moved closer to "everything's a file isn't really a file though", because this messes around with what's left of that idea, in spite of the fact that yes there's not much left of the concept.

TIL about lsns, although it isn't listing all the groups I have (I made a memory namespace earlier to contain some processes, and it's not showing up in sudo lsns, heh).

Something called Dialectical Behavior Therapy is an accepted treatment for BPD - Borderline Personality Disorder. Not sure what it's all about 'cause I'm not BPD. They are wrong because other PDs can be cured in some cases - I'm not going to assert that they always can, that would be as silly as categorically saying they can't.
Since all protection in cars (no matter how complex is) is mass produced, it is very easy for thieves to purchase same/similar car and study it. However, I'm wondering what will happen if an ordinary Hacker Joe (a guy who knows a little bit of electronics and software) installs custom protection, no matter how simple is?

Knowing that for thieves, the most precious resource is time and if you force them to work more than expected, they might gave up...
The 100 page essay at the end that basically repeats the themes of the previous 800 pages, but with even less subtlety.

I like Rand btw, but that essay in a book of that length is pretty much inexcusable. Just write a collection of essays or something.
Agreed, if the point is to listen carefully and understand if someone else is truly processing what you are saying, but not agreed if it means making things up for the sake of "testing" someone. Sometimes people make up tests or crises in dating as well, just to "test" the other person; you should carefully consider a person in the circumstances you find yourself in, and should find activities where things come out naturally; but who wants to find out that their significant other made up difficult things to test them?
I would look forward to your blog post! Seems an interesting topic.
>They make "Faraday Bags" exactly for this purpose.

Only "they" do not certify them in any way (for several reasons, including the fact that there is not - yet - an accepted standard for measurement) and in any case a Faraday bag (in the sense of a mesh) may be very effective at a given frequency and almost transparent to another one).

A tin box should always outperform a Faraday bag in shielding RF.

“VPN” as in public sites only makes sense when you are at a physical location that inspects your WiFi traffic or when you’re conducting grey-market activity like torrenting where the multi-jurisdictional obfuscation is meaningful.

I guess the difference between "being on a phone" and watching a TV is the passive consumption of content owned by huge oligopolies that directly influence the laws to control its distribution. In that sense it's completely unlike chatting with friends on WhatsApp or playing CS, at least while there is some modicum of net neutrality. The type of content, the culture around it and the laws intertwine and create the perception that one has to have multiple TVs around home, all hooked up to some monopolistic content distributor, so they can "catch up on TV" and avoid FOMO.

I know plenty of people around who don't have a single TV in their 2br flats. A few have TVs that they use solely to play PS. That's why I suspect the culture is a big reason why American cable can be so user-hostile.
