I never tried to be a publisher on the Apple, Google or Microsoft app stores, but judging by my own consumption of both apps and content, I see no significant issue beyond discoverability in those ecosystems. It is, of course, harder now than it was in the 70's to make money out of, say, a spreadsheet or text editor, but that's beside the point - the market, any market, changes and what was a cash cow a number of years back may now be either a crowded landscape nobody can expect to profitably enter or an ecologic disaster with only the most resilient and aggressive lifeforms in it.

There we go. What an absolutely horrible idea, which shows clearly the direction of this kind of "activism". Because if the "good people" are using "fake news" - it's fine! But it's unacceptable if "the other" people are using fake news to push their ideas.

Just because you think your ideas are nobel, righteous or inherently good, it still does not allow you to use any means possible in order to push them.

Your tone is very out of place in this thread. If you don't know that something was solved before and you solve it yourself, it is a great feeling and very rewarding.

As other poster mentioned I meant mainly Iraq where situation is different, sorry for not being more clear.

In most European countries if not all, if politicians tried to sell some remote unjust war they want to start by striking patriotic tunes (so people would make similar ridiculous claims), they would get laughed at/outright rejected. Politicians would have to put in place mandatory drafts and even then a lot of people would run away/go rather to jail.

It just feels so surreal to be so much out of touch with reality in a modern western world in 21st century to believe in such lies and very much risk their lives for them.

Now if somebody couldn't care less about shooting kids, mums and old people and of course patriots and other random folks on the other side and wants to have adrenaline ride, that's another story. But lets be honest about this.

I know what anthropology has said about who we homo sapiens have smaller jaws and larger craniums - we went from omnivores to omnivores who cooked meat. Higher calorie density and better nutrient profile. So our muscles for tearing through tough meat got smaller, so we could have more brain.

What this WFPB appears to be is a religion in dietary form, complete with diatribes of papers written by them. And it ignores why we have the jaws that we do, on some moral epithet that eating animals is evil and bad.

Those statements are picked for journalism effect. Alone they sound suspicious. If surrounded by 20 minutes of conversation on the subject, they wouldn't seem out of place at all.
It seems pretty rational (even if quite cynical) to me. The covering your ass liability for a similar repeat of a black swan event must be way higher than it was the first time around.

You can't claim surprise or lack of precedent for the second time, and it really does look like negligence to the circling lawyers if you didn't react to it.

In risk management terms, the likelihood of a repeat might not have changed, but the consequence of a repeat sure has.

If you want to know about Tide-Predicting Machine No. 0 - read the following from Charles Pezold:

In the late 1860s and early 1870s, British scientist William Thomson—later known as Lord Kelvin—developed a technique based on Fourier analysis to mathematically predict the pattern of tides for particular seaports. Never just a theoretical physicist, Thomson then designed a machine to carry out these calculations. One of these tide-predicting machines is on view in the Science Museum in London. Today we categorize this machine as a special-purpose analog computer. While it’s certainly interesting from a technical perspective, it also has a surprising role in the history of 19th century science: William Thomson began his research into the tides in the midst of the Darwin Wars following the 1859 publication of The Origin of Species, and part of the impetus behind this astonishing machine was nothing less than to prove Darwin wrong. From the clash of thermodynamics, geology, and evolution, the era of analog computing was born.

Hi, I wrote these articles.

It's doable to compare syntactic definitions (k-anonymity vs. k-map vs. δ-presence, for example) and I tried to do that a bit. Differential privacy is something pretty much fundamentally different, as it applies to the mechanism and not the output dataset.

I'm trying to fix this gap: my PhD thesis is about rephrasing syntactic definitions in terms of relaxed versions of differential privacy. Typically, I'm trying to get to a point where I can say "hey everyone, remember this old definition that is easy to use but we don't really know what guarantee it gave? Turns out it's differential privacy with weakened assumptions, so here, have a formal guarantee for free". These are (I feel) natural questions that are still open problems. I will most definitely write about them when I have time (and solid results) =)

Yes. For folks doing normal stuff, the bushplane is a tough motorbike. But most people who use them use them for survival, which means they have work to do -- a lot of work. If you can't haul it in a bush plane, it's not getting in or out, so they're the SUV of the bush.

I've heard that for the old 206's, if you could fit it through the doors you could haul it. (Insert long discussion here about that being a good way to kill yourself. Presumably there's some bush wisdom to prevent that from happening)

Consumers are driven by self-interest. Reminding them about some kind of "morale" that is driven by your own self-interest as a developer will not change that.

Your product has to deliver a value beyond what it costs me or otherwise I won't purchase it.

If there is a competitor offering a product or service for "free" that solves the same problems as yours, then why should I pay for an alternative?

That's the benchmark you have to compete with.
America has not been invaded. The closest you get is 9/11 and Pearl Harbor. Their cultural memory does not respect the horrors of a foreign invasion. The only people who experience war are young men who go halfway across the world then come back hailed as heroes. Their old WW2 veterans still haven't experienced their hometown being firebombed to ash and dust.

In most of the world you can point to the rubble a city was built on and the older generations will tell you about it.

Sorry, my bad, I did not read this article. Zach himself is calling the game "stupidly difficult". I still strongly disagree with the term though :) Plus seeing the graph, I find that it does not seem to be the case - I mean most levels in the main campaign seem to be over 80% success rate (hypothesis: "defense" levels are not available in the Android version, which could be a reason why they seem to have a lower success rate)

> how a man managed to bring that much firepower into his hotel room and keep it there for so long.

Which is completely irrelevant. He could have done the same thing with a single suitcase containing one rifle and a bunch of magazines. The whole 20+ (I don't know the exact figure) guns thing was not in any way necessary for what he did. Do people think he was some kind of eight armed octopus firing umpteen guns at the same time?
> The whole gender issue has been very well covered and is now overrated.

That's extremely important, too! But I don't think that it means that sex and gender issues are no longer important (in code, language, or society in general).
Even at peak my country deployed only a little over 5000 soldiers into Afghanistan, a majority of those for supportive and police roles, not for active combat. Even that is being opposed.
I'd love to see a couple of screencasts of people effectively using these. I use spacemacs in evil mode, but I find smartparens infuriating. I don't know if this is because it doesn't suit me, or it's just no good, or if (most likely) I don't know how it's supposed to be used and haven't learnt the keys.

Any advice on getting off the ground for sexp editing (racket mostly) in a modern semantic way would be greatly appreciated.

(All the below assumes I can read 'Go')

Nit picks about these certificates:

The certificates have a lifetime of 10 years starting from the exact moment they're created. I suspect ten years is overkill, but I don't see much real harm in it. However it's common practice to set the notBefore into the recent past, this is because a variety of problems may cause clock drift. This is your development environment, so you _could_ fix any drift, but this sort of tool is all about productivity, so I think "back dating" by one day or even an hour to allow for drift would be a sound idea.

The EKU says TLS Server, I'd be tempted to throw TLS Client in there too. It would appear tempting to say anyUsage, but actually some peers will decide this is overbroad and reject your certificate so don't do that. But having TLS Client might be nice if anybody is working on mutual authentication (both client and server present certificates, not very friendly for B2C apps but I like it in B2B).

The Key Usage says Key Encipherment and Digital Signature. Again it's harmless in a development environment, but security-oriented live systems ought to contemplate removing Key Encipherment.

The only reason you'd need Key Encipherment in TLS is because you're doing RSA key agreement, which means you aren't getting Forward Secrecy by definition and you're probably using some pretty rusty components. So it could make sense to spot that "Oops, we're trying to do RSA key agreement - why?" in a development system before you ship it and discover you're offering radically less security than you expected for some reason.
Note that although many people do use their registrar's name servers, registrar != nameserver. DNS can be hosted elsewhere than the registrar.

TFS introduced copy-on-write in 1986 (with SunOS 3). This is probably the first such implementation. Not sure if there was anything comparable before that, meeting the same definition of layered and copy-on-write.

WAFL came a few years later - in development in the early '90s, reached production in 1994.
That's generally considered unpythonic though. A more pythonic way to write that is

for attrib in child.attributes if child.attributes else []:

Which, granted, is a lot more verbose and probably not any more readable but at least it's not abusing the or operator.

I disagree. I would very much prefer a "GPL type" share-alike licence. The basic principle is: I'm releasing this content to the public, with the expectation that anyone that builds upon it will also do the same. Otherwise people can take what I did, use it for their profit, and not contribute back, hurting the overall community. This doesn't seem fair to me.

Countdown to Zero Day by Kim Zetter.

It talks about the Stuxnet and the story behind it, and I got the chance to learn some fairly interesting stuff in the meantime (like the complexity of building a nuclear bomb).

I found it much more useful than the American Kingpin, which just mentions that Tor and Bitcoin offer anonymity online, but doesn't get anywhere even close to explaining either of the technologies that are crucial for the storyline.

We Are Anonymous by Parmy Olson also made me feel kind of the same, but the writing wasn't quite as engaging as the Countdown to Zero Day was.

“‘It is my belief, Watson, founded upon my experience, that the lowest and vilest alleys in London do not present a more dreadful record of sin than does the smiling and beautiful countryside.’

‘You horrify me!’

‘But the reason is very obvious. The pressure of public opinion can do in the town what the law cannot accomplish.
There is no lane so vile that the scream of a tortured child, or the thud of a drunkard’s blow, does not beget sympathy and indignation among the neighbours, and then the whole machinery of justice is ever so close that a word of complaint can set it going, and there is but a step between the crime and the dock. But look at these lonely houses, each in its own fields, filled for the most part with poor ignorant folk who know little of the law. Think of the deeds of hellish cruelty, the hidden wickedness which may go on, year in, year out, in such places, and none the wiser. Had this lady who appeals to us for help gone to live in Winchester, I should never have had a fear for her. It is the five miles of country which makes the danger.’”

For that you have the CC-license family and other similar licenses for artistic creations.

The GPL does not strike me as the license to use for text books (since it asks for source code an such) and I think the FSF has state that the GPL isn't a good idea for documentation, I'd carry that to books too.
There is at least one implementation of parinfer for emacs by now.

A manager has hiring, firing and often budget responsibilities. Also over-looked other HR responsibilities like ensuring policies are being followed which are usually there because there are laws the company has to comply with, like sexual harassment. There is more risk to the larger company if a manager acts unethically or worse, illegally, with these responsibilities.

Given that a legal/ethical issue can potentially cost a company a lot of money, a good manager should be paid more in addition to other actual area of expertise responsibilities they have.

If they are more of a supervisor or team lead, literally managing workloads of people without the budget or hiring/firing HR responsibilities then maybe one could argue they may not necessarily make more than other Software Engineers.
