Right. Napoleon had a much lengthier career, but the manner in which Alexander won is what makes him the greatest. He didn't just win the battle, he truly conquered your entire civilization and turned you into his asset. Alexander didn't have the need to fight so many battles, and he avoided them whenever possible. Napoleon had 60 battles (probably more), Alexander, much fewer.

An analogy in my mind is calling LeBron James and his career longevity the greatest over Michael simply on career length alone. In my mind, the manner in which Michael dominated, and going 6-0 in the NBA finals is what makes him clearly the best.
Yes :(. I've been soldering with paste, stencil, and air gun and have had a good success rate, but it can be a bit more difficult.

I'm thinking about making a short video showing how to solder one reliably for folks interesting in making their own. Unfortunately newer MCUs these days often don't come in easy-to-solder packages.

That's seriously stretching the definition of race tho
Excluding Napoleon due to a "winning your campaigns" criteria is a bit silly. You're weighting the loss at the end of his career instead of fairly judging the win/loss record on his entire portfolio of two decades of campaigns.
Yep. Postmates pricing got real absurd, real fast. It almost felt like it happened, even if you had premium.

DoorDash, I should pay closer attention to. My wife usually orders, and she’s way too price insensitive for my taste at times. I at least insisted on one of the zero delivery fee restaurants last night, but don’t know what that actually means.

What you're describing is a different attack vector than phishing. I would describe it as malware. The classic phishing attack is to convince a target to visit a web page with a subtly different URL than the real thing, where they enter their credentials, which could include most second factors (OTP codes or push notifications). With U2F however, the browser will pass the URL of the requesting site to the U2F token, and that will be signed by the U2F token. The resulting signature cannot be used to login to the real service. You have to own the user's device or browser in order to do a phishing attack with U2F. And if you own the device or browser, it's probably easier to steal the short lived session auth credentials than it is to man in the middle U2F. You are correct, however, that U2F is not resistant to malware. Unfortunately, nothing really is, and it's not an easy problem to solve.
> The benefit to small communities is that it is easier to police for attitude and morality. Even more so if it's a religious community, though I'm sure Marx is rolling in his grave that you would call a religious community communist given communism's materialist philosophy.

See my comment above on how monasteries came from epicurean communes.

See the title or Marx's PhD thesis: The Difference Between the Democritean and Epicurean Philosophy of Nature

Not so far-fetched.

It's true that communism as envisioned by Karl Marx had a materialistic sense, but so did Epicurus philosophy.

Communism is Karl Marx's scaling attempt at Epicurean communes. Not a very good idea IMO.
Extra hot composition №72 miscellany – Channel FunnY Cube (2018)
Spark is not too tricky to dive into, even though you can't really take advantage unless you have a big cluster to use :)

if you want to practice data-manipulation, and a lot of the map reduce type stuff you can do with spark, I find Pandas useful for small datasets (And a lot of overlap in functionality as far as Dataframes are concerned)

For pipeline stuff, definitely take a look at Luigi, but again without a cluster it'll be less fun. Still, if you can try automating tasks with a mini luigi scheduler on your localhost, it would be good practice
I don't like seeing posts like this downvoted, as you seem genuinely curious about the issue, but to each his own, I guess.

dv_dt and existencebox hit it well - cultural more than technical. But, the cultural changes impacted policy. I've posted the following article in the past, but it provides a clear image of the issue - from one of the people who set the wheels in motion.

>But there is a theme that threads through and ties together all the strands: many of the most talented, driven Americans used what makes America great–the First Amendment, due process, financial and legal ingenuity, free markets and free trade, meritocracy, even democracy itself–to chase the American Dream. And they won it, for themselves. Then, in a way unprecedented in history, they were able to consolidate their winnings, outsmart and co-opt the forces that might have reined them in, and pull up the ladder so more could not share in their success or challenge their primacy.

>By continuing to get better at what they do, by knocking away the guardrails limiting their winnings, aggressively engineering changes in the political landscape, and by dint of the often unanticipated consequences of their innovations, they created a nation of moats that protected them from accountability and from the damage their triumphs caused in the larger community. Most of the time, our elected and appointed representatives were no match for these overachievers. As a result of their savvy, their drive and their resources (and a certain degree of privilege, as these strivers may have come from humble circumstances but are mostly white men), America all but abandoned its most ambitious and proudest ideal: the never perfect, always debated and perpetually sought after balance between the energizing inequality of achievement in a competitive economy and the community-binding equality promised by democracy. In a battle that began a half-century ago, the achievers won.

I completely agree. It's crazy to blame FB for shitty human behaviour, one might as well blame the computers and phone lines they use.

It's even crazier to use the issue to advocate for ever greater censorship, as all media companies and politicians now appear to be doing.
Our summer intern Richard Bachmann just wrote a blogpost about his project where he connected one of our kubernetes cluster in the google cloud platform to a security monitoring tool we have running in Splunk (we = Telenor Digital).
Embedding types in the method names is a habit of using dynamically typed languages. If the method is private it can be shorter, if it is public it should be a bit more descriptive. With statically typed languages I'd agree with your suggestion, but i'd likely would remove the type info from variables as well.
But the argument being made is that in the face of such technology, the government will make increasingly drastic laws to compensate. E.g. require you use vulnerable phone software approved by them, and allow inferences of guilt if you use something else.
Yes, but even late stage patients don't have too many options because clinical trials are usually designed to follow very specific algorithms of treatments and reject patients who don't exactly fit in. So there is actually a lot of friction in the current system, and the fact that clinical trials are typically expensive for companies to run just exacerbates things.
Greece has wild boar - beats the pants off whitetail any day! And yeah, most of my family is very rural and raise and grow all sorts of stuff on relatively small plots of land. I'm not talking about entirely off-grid living. That's why I was comparing $5,000 to $5,000. That $5,000 is what pays for your satellite, electric, gas, and all the other little things. That said with solar and electric vehicles now you can start getting even more self sufficient, which is great.
Holy shit, I think it's Eden Blues! Thank you!
Why do people assume China will be OK with Google notifying users results are censored?

China can make arbitrary changes to their rules at any time and force Google go along or go home. Google is free of this pressure by not participating but the more revenue they have in China the tougher it will be to say no.
How to use Azure Storage to host a static website
I use an extension called the Great Suspender. It auto suspends pages on unused tabs. I REALLY like it.
I fully agree. This reminds me of how some text books will teach people to write `a = 10` rather than `age = 10` for the sake of brevity. From that moment on, it becomes a habit to write code in a terse manner. It took me a few years and some good IDEs to no longer be afraid of names like `ageOfUser`/`age_of_user`.
I've actually seen your product, as the Myriad, the company that acquired my previous employer is based in the same city as you. I think your product looks great, and I hope you do well. I'm all for products that help local farmers make good profits!
> If the method is private it can be shorter

Won't other people still need to read private code?
I live with my 6 & 9 year old nephews. I set up a Google Home in their bedroom and some in the common area's. It's been very interesting to watch them use it.

The 6 year old's pronunciation is not perfect and I could see a lot of frustration when he was initially using it. The drive to use the device has driven him to take his time and really focus on pronunciation so he can play the song or video's that he likes.

They understand it's a computer. But we all tend to treat it as an assistant. A really touching moment was when he used the Home to call "Santa." After he finished that call and we walked away, I saw/listened in My Activity that he asked to call God.
Interesting. Does it keep actively used connections open so as to maintain as much functionality as possible if it's under attack ?
> Do we actually want Tesla and SpaceX to fail?

Maybe we do? It's worth remembering that the folks who took us to the moon in the first place were government employees and federal contractors. No rockstar leaders with a tweeting habit.

Musk has accomplished a lot, and it's upsetting to see the personal attacks against him. His tweets are a little reckless, but whose aren't these days?

But that doesn't mean we want the future of our tech industry to look like Tesla and SpaceX rather than Toyota and Boeing.
Do you mean it would make you lots of money or cost you lots of money? If the former, where does the money come from?
This is sad. You have relegated your child's cognitive development to a cheap electronic device. He's supposed to be communicating with you and learning how to communicate with people, not crappy electronics designed to gather your info to sell you stuff.

I hope that IQVIA's efforts in that field are better than their typical data management practices, because they are pretty horrible at what they do usually. I would not trust them much based on what I have seen.
> Would we rather that Musk had just never founded Tesla and Space

Yes, while SpaceX has _something_ going for it — though not as much as people like to think, Tesla isn't anything to write home about.

Nissan is the market leader in electric vehicles, not Tesla. Tesla survives only because the cult status means people are willing to wait more than they otherwise would.

SpaceX does some cool things - as a rocket enthusiast I pay more attention than a space fan arguably should - but a) I'd attribute that to Shotwell more than to Elon, and b) keep things in perspective, rockets are _not_ more expensive than payloads, except for really light payloads, where I'd pay more attention to the less-exciting light launch segment.

And SpaceX is very much rooted in the US de-funding NASA, and extracting both engineering projects and subsidies from it.
This is such an ignorant meme. Ambien probably does have the side effect of removing your higher level filter, and so a joke slips through that would otherwise be short circuited because of its connotation when understood in a wider cultural context. Sleep walking on Ambien impairs just that sort of higher level cognitive processing.
Reno, NV is growing a lot. Primarily engineers go to IGT or Bally’s and work with slot machines, but the tech scene overall is growing. We have a great CS department at UNR and school is fairly cheap here. Taxes are low, but cost of housing is rising. Some of that is because of Tesla and Google. I think a lot of people are moving here from the bay because of housing costs.

Other nice aspects:

- There are tons of breweries, restaurants, and bars littered through downtown/midtown.

- We have a ton of festivals that shut down the streets downtown (Italian festival, chicken wing festival, hot august nights, brews and blues, and the rib cookoff).

- The Truckee River runs right through downtown and makes for some very pretty views.

- There’s a huge art scene and a ton of blank walls on buildings are being covered in murals.

- The weather is great all year round. Usually we hit 100s only for a week or so in the summer. It snows here but it melts in a day because we get so much sun.

- We’re within an hour’s drive of Tahoe, other lakes, and a dozen ski resorts.
This is cool, but do you handle international clients? or is it just US law?
I agree that Java makes reading hard with regard to the semantics and unnecessary data structures for simple things like anonymous functions. I would point to Python, which is semantically the easiest language to learn. It's still possible to write illegible code (primarily due to the lack of indicator of argument and returns types and, of course, bizarre variable names).

http://Singer.io is an open source ETL project written in Python. The components are small, composable programs that you can run independently, so you should be able to walk before your run.

A good beginner project is to build an adapter to a new data source (known as a "tap" in Singer). Most taps pull data out of business tools like Salesforce or Marketo, but people also build them to pull characters from the Marvel API (https://www.stitchdata.com/blog/tapping-marvel-api/)

Check out the getting started guide (https://github.com/singer-io/getting-started), or jump into the Singer Slack and ask for help (linked from the guide)
There is no monopoly. Many other epi autoinjectors have entered the market, and were withdrawn - or have clung on without many people know they even exist...

People forget there is also a human factors element:

If the pen is not easy to use, it could lead to an inability to deliver the medication simply because the person can't read the directions while their airway is closing up.

For instance: 1 pen on the market now has a speaker built into the pen which gives voice directions for anyone to be able to administer a dosage to someone who needs it [0].

If the pen mechanism itself is not robust, and delivers inadequate or overdosages - then this is also bad, and is also where other competitors have failed [1].

The EpiPen itself is actually a bit of a work of art because it gets most of these things right on - this is why they've dominated.

To me, if you feel compelled to start putting type information in the variable names, function names, etc., what you're showing is that you really want a type system.

This is a good point and generally a hard issue to solve completely.

Right now, we plan to do the programming ourselves to at least verify that goes okay. Since we are bootstrapping, we are outsourcing the PCB-A, but hopefully since this is pretty expensive threat for an adversary to invest in, I don't think it would be an issue unless we show to have a large market. By then, we can move more supply chain in house :)

Tesla is a public company and yet it looks to me more like a clever stock and government subsidy swindle than anything else. I actually feel bad for all the suckers who bought Tesla cars because I know they're going to be out a lot of money one way or another. In terms of cars as transportation, you could not have chosen worse in terms of overall cost vs. benefit. The charging time alone makes them a non-starter for anyone who properly values their time. Musk played to wealthy people and their inherent guilt over the environment and played to the middle class's aspirant desires. Musk is a PT Barnum and you have to respect that. It's just that as cars go, Teslas are just shiny bullshit in so many respects. And in other respects, they are an innovation that demands respect. But it is all muddled up into a cult of personality. Musk ought to step down from Tesla and let someone else take over before it fails. If these cars are such a great idea, it should not be difficult for someone else to run with it.

SpaceX is Musk's crowning achievement. The reusable rockets are a tremendous innovation, paid for by US tax payers (as usual) who will never seen $.01 in return for their investment (as usual). SpaceX, being a wholly private venture, exists to fill a niche while making the billionaires richer. What else can be said?

"The number of people who are capable of building and running companies like these is vanishingly small"

I wholeheartedly disagree. The number is controlled by access to the elite plutocracy and not much else. Like medicine, there is a cartel that controls access to the important areas of society, and C-level executives and board memberships are an elite club where family connections and nepotism rule. This is the truth about American upward mobility and it is an UGLY, UGLY truth. And yes, I am aware that Musk somewhat is bucking this trend, but then again, I have not investigated his background and how he got where he is connections-wise. It wasn't just because he is a bright guy with great ideas.
Laser Beam Attacks Bedevil U.S. Military Pilots in Mideast
It is about the same price or more expensive to get an equivalent windows machine, the Thinkpad P52 is similarly priced if you go for those specs.

I think part of the issue is that you don't have a choice of specs. If PCI-E SSD speeds are enough for you, you don't have a choice to save the money on it. If you want to go for a cheaper 4-core processor with higher clock speeds and put the money into more/better RAM, you can't make that trade-off.

I do agree that macbooks are pretty good value for the components you're getting, but I think unless your view on what you want in your computer matches what Apple will give you then you will end up "wasting" some money on your machine.
I think it's a huge mistake for children to talk to computers.

I'm not so sure I'd go that far, or that it's any more dangerous than a web browser.

My kids are quite young and I'm happy for them to talk to Alexa, under supervision. They need to learn to deal with potential dangers before they encounter them without parental supervision.

Mind you, we play with fire too so maybe just ignore me.
If you want to be more effective as an employee you need to take on the responsibility of setting priorities. And you don't do this before you have a certain level of skill and understanding, but once you do you become _much_ more effective if you know how to work towards goals instead of just being told what to do.

And it's not that you contradict your boss' priorities. It's that you do what needs doing: those priorities feed into it, but also the reasons for those priorities.
There's not too much in the way of xp malware still actively spreading, but you're right, an xp machine at one point was like a public domain colocated computer to be abused by whoever.

Computer insecurity is costly and counterproductive. It helps criminals and maybe the occasional oppressive regimes walk us backwards, mess up lives, mess up businesses. I don't think privilege escalation and encryption key theft should be taken lightly. Abusable things get abused.
Displays ok but links (i'm assuming on the left) don't work in FF on Fedora.
I mean, it's the same thing. If you're used to reading it you know what parts are relevant to what you're doing and what parts aren't. The difference is that if you don't know the language at all and look at some code you can likely understand what it does.

Hopefully not modern textbooks.

I know when I was in my CS program in the early 90s it seemed like that was transitioning. The older profs would teach us every trick in the book to reduce the actual file size & visual noise in our code. The younger profs would beat in our head to not do that.

Pseudorandomness vs randomness is a funny distinction to me because randomness effectively boils down to either an inadequate dataset or inadequate computational resources for analyzing an adequate dataset, with adequateness being an arbitrary measure. In other words, any apparently random sequence approaches pseudorandomness as more computational resources are applied to its analysis.
that's an interesting piece of philosophical history I didn't know about, thanks for sharing that. I always thought there were strong parallels between ancient Greek philosophy and the primary strands of modern politics.

> Communism is Karl Marx's scaling attempt at Epicurean communes. Not a very good idea IMO.

I tend to think that the idea wasn't bad, but people trying to force it to occur faster than the natural societal evolution end up killing a lot of people. The debates we're seeing now about how to deal with automation of large swathes of the job market are similar to Marx's theory that socialism would automate production to the point of creating a post-scarcity society. Of course, that doesn't account for the environment, but then global warming wasn't on the menu in the mid 1800s.

The ironic thing is that it's capitalism that is doing the automating.
We are using a EFM32 Silabs chipset and plan to use some sort of conformal coating to add water/weather resistance. We also plan to have a silicone case. I don't know about getting run over by a car, but they will certainly be resilient to dropping, getting wet, surviving key-chains.
