Usually man in the middle attack refers to an attack where someone controls a connection between you and the server and is able to freely control the connection including modifying or completely fabricating any packets coming through. Your ISP and whoever controls the wifi router you connect to can modify any data coming through like this.
Because a writing app supports the act of writing. Once you’re done writing, you don’t need the app anymore. And when you’re in the act of writing, things are often not linear. You might come up with headers first, and fragments of text, usually in the order they pop into your head, not the order they need to be in the final copy. Then you wordsmith and reorder things to get them into a progression.

And in Word you can always collapse the section and then move it around with all of the text.

I'd say ac is a net positive when it allows for the refrigeration and freezing of food.

Less food is wasted, and food can be bought in bulk which means people aren't driving to a market everyday.
Granted, but I can see why they did it from an artistic perspective. They're going all in on handwritten text and being genuine to that idea.

Though they could use a font that looks handwritten, it's not the same and wouldn't reflect the product as accurately.
I see what you mean, and I agree with you in theory. The long learning curve and installation time for Arch was a non-starter for me though.

Back to your point, Manjaro runs directly on pacman repos, not a layer between it and upstream. It just comes with IMO sane defaults and an installer GUI.
It's market forces at work with little regulation, especially in places like Houston. Real estate prices are much more appealing in places with extreme temperatures. We all couldn't afford to live in temperate climates like the bay area without some extreme zoning density regulations.
I mean the work has already been done for a heck of a lot of those films though right? A quick search shows oldies.com having 500+ movies from the 60s available in blu-ray. I would assume the rights to those digitalizations belong to the same owner as the rights to stream in most cases.
Good article!

> First, OpenAI could have created a vision system to read the pixels and retrieve the same information that the bot API provides. (The main reason it didn’t is that it would have been incredibly resource-intensive.)

Mmmm, no. Reading the pixels would not retrieve the same information that the bot API provides, because the screen does not contain all that information at any given time.

Any Dota 2 player will know that they don't have access to all this data simultaneously:

When you compress a gas, it releases energy as heat. When the gas expands, it absorbs energy by getting cold.

This gas is the refrigerant that the article refers to. Basically, what air conditioners, refrigerators, heat pumps, ect, do, is compress and expand the gas in a closed loop.

The whole theory behind a heat pump is that you get more heat, per unit of input energy, than if you used the input energy directly for heat. The consequence is that you end up blowing cold air outside.
Do you recall Ms. Pao's time at reddit and the actions which took place at the time? She lived this. Directly. She dealt with this. Directly.

It may be intractable to go 100->0 on harassment. Sure. But what if you could go to 50? To 20?

Is the difficulty in stamping out all harassment enough of a hurdle to not try stamping any of it out? Or is it just window dressing to ignore the issue. She says it's the latter.

If anything, her story makes it clear that it really isn't that hard to identify groups and communities that breed harassment then take action against them.
I was turning left to park at lunch and a bicyclist blew through two stop signs at ~45mph and almost t-boned me. I had wrongly assumed he'd stop at the two stops signs and I had plenty of time. Luckily he happily pulled into oncoming traffic to swerve around me.

I'm sure in the near future he'll be donating organs to some lucky recipient.

http://time.com/4236640/donald-trump-racist-supporters/

I think this is what he meant. I also think you have to be blind to not understand that Trump is a racist. Also, the article you pulled has a lot of assumptions, such as that not being white means you can't be racist or the fact that you're liberal means you're against any use of torture. Overall, those kind of assumptions are the kind of binary classifications most people complain about when talking about American politics.
> you only have to expose exceptions you don't handle

Which is the vast majority of exceptions because by-definition exceptional conditions can't be handled within the method. That's why they are exceptions.

The presumption that most exceptions are handled locally is wrong. Exceptions, if they are handled at all, are almost always handled far away from the site they were thrown. Further it doesn't even matter which method it is! I can handle all network errors by restarting the operation from the start; I don't need to know which of the 3,000 possible methods up from my loop actually triggered the network exception. If any of those methods change from throwing to not throwing a network error, it literally doesn't matter. But I do need to know it's a network error and not some abstracted LibraryNameException.
Anything that shakes investor confidence. A certain % of people stop thinking the market will continue to rise, so they start pulling their money out. That causes the market to start to drop, which shakes more people's confidence, and it snowballs.
I am posting anonymously here because of all the toxicity of this comment. Take away "Chinese" from his argument and he still has an argument. Your comment on the other hand, is just throwing your emotions around. I suspect other commenters downvote him for the same reason. I find this every time an article about China comes up. Its infuriating because there is not legitimate discussion going on. It simply a downvoting war.
Not that I can easily find or remember.
This doesn't seem to actually be a mesh network.
What amazes me the most is how I never see any Americans online trying to convince others that the imperial system is better than the ISU. Like... they know that it's just out of habit :].

Day-to-day the inches/feet dance is more annoying to me than the celsius-farenheit thing though.
Not sure if you're joking, but that's a pretty lazy fallacy of composition there.

Ex: Human memory sucks, but you can generally trust the immutability of books, despite them being written and copied and bound and distributed and sold by humans.

It's all about using strengths in the right direction and order to sidestep weaknesses.
I did study Monaco, but we're using a very different approach (Monaco resembles the current CodeMirror more), because what they do in almost impossible to make work on mobile. When it comes to accessibility, they do a great job, and I'm planning to take more inspiration from their code as I work on things like autocompletion
> The link between UNIX and LISP knowledge is missing.

That's where TXR comes in. A pragmatic scripting language geared toward the POSIX platform (with a half decent Windows port).

> I spent countless hours trying to figure out how to get the shell program's getopts equivalent in LISP

This is a nuisance area in developing utilities that are usable by others, and an area in which consistency with established conventions is required. For that reason, I included option processing in TXR Lisp.

E-bikes are flattening terrain. Source: I live in Seattle, am an avid biker, and those Lime e-bikes are everywhere. People who wouldn't dream of biking because of the hills are now out on casual errands with those things.
I've lived in 7 different brand new houses within a relatively short time period. Brand new meaning I was the first person living there. Even different countries, contractors, etc.

The whole experience has made me quite strong-minded about a few things. And I've also converted to hardcore minimalism.

First, I've seen so many crazy bad construction jobs that whenever I buy a new house I'll try to buy something modular that has been premade in a factory. Here quality is much better thanks to construction (actually manufacturing) taking part in a controlled and standardized environment. Unless I have a lot of time, money and energy to devote to a custom project, and construction technology hasn't evolved much. Premade houses evoke park homes and cheap quality. However, things are moving forward very quickly and there are some concrete and steel designs around that seem the opposite of cheap quality to me. E.g. http://www.kodasema.com/

Second, for me the most important feature is that the house should be a healthy space. Few houses have continuous filtered air ventilation systems, and it makes a huge difference to avoid mould, CO and VOCs. It doesn't have to be something centralized and superfancy. You can have them per room. I'd also try to avoid living too close to major traffic routes, and unhealthy materials that will release tons of VOCs during the first months. Also room arrangement is key. Bedrooms that face E or SE and homeoffices that face SW definitely improve your mood, especially in you live in high latitudes. Having your kitchen and toilets a bit isolated is also important to avoid smells and noise if space is sufficient to do so.

Finally, I hate embedded junk. Like cheap veneer embedded kitchen furniture. It's expensive, and it deteriorates quickly. Furthermore, I have had problems with stuff hiding inside. Like insect pests and even trash left behind by contractors. I very much prefer to avoid embedded furniture unless you can afford very good quality. High-end kitchen stuff is actually fitted but not necessarily embedded. E.g. http://www.kochkoekken.dk
I agree there needs to be more discussion about the degree to which large companies can impact peoples human rights.

I think there's an important distinction in the criticism though, even though the rhetoric might be similar.

Apple was holding its ground against the US Gov't and defense community to avoid setting a dangerous precedent that would violate their user's rights.

While it's true that in some ways Facebook, Youtube, or Twitter are defending user's free speech, I think there's some question as to how they (or their algorithms) promote extreme views.

Does everyone have free speech if you give the most extreme voices a megaphone?
The real trick is going to come from the new interaction models that are invented ... I'm not just talking about the generic point, touch, and gesture UX that we have today in the AR/VR space; I'm talking about entirely new categories of tasks and abilities that are simply not possible using the inputs of today. We're already starting to see some really innovative art being created by "physically" being in the space (as in Tilt Brush) ... I wonder when we'll start seeing more 3d content creation tools being VR-native. Or CAD tools where you can lay out changes to a structure in real time ... that one is especially interesting given that you can (in theory) make a real-time map of your environment using some of the "inside out" positioning sensors that are already on headsets today.
Now that is an actually reasonable markup. I guess my only concern there would be shipping, which can be insured but gets a bit pricey when you're insuring $1,200. Thanks for the link!
Do you realize that is tangential to the discussion? They shouldn't be invading privacy in the first place!

And what do you mean not publicizing it? It is quite visible on the ads they show it for.
While this article only focuses on public companies I have also thought that Valve would be highest on this list due to their relatively low employee count (~360 according to wikipedia).
I love my glasses. They help me see better. They are so light I don't even remember that I am wearing them. They also provide rudimentary physical and UV radiation protection for my eyes. They transition to a darker color outdoors and reduce glare. They also look nice on me. Would be fun to see a poll on whether people in general like or dislike glasses.
Another way in which biking in (some parts of) the US isn't casual: pretty much every biker you see in Silicon Valley has bike shorts, a jersey advertising a race or energy drink, clip-in shoes and is riding at VO₂ max. I feel out of place tooling around in street clothes.

If I had to point out a specific danger is would be a rapid rise in interest rates.

If the Fed decided that inflation was out of control they might raise interest rates quickly and that pretty much always tanks the market.

Note that discounting that risk involves two things: (i) how likely it is that we will have an inflation spike and (ii) how hawkish you expect the Fed to be about it. Many many many people play that game.
Yes? Gmail was promoted on the grounds of "hey it's just ads based on automated scans of the emails, no human actually looks at any of it" and that was a big part of people accepting the tradeoff.

Kind of refutes the claim that it's just like showing specific emails with date/times to the general public.
It is possible that less than 2 people at Microsoft are working on Monaco full time but just getting passive improvements over time. Never underestimate 2 smart dedicated engineers.

The unforeseen happens. What then?

Instead some mumbling about tsunamis from someone who clearly knows little about tsunamis.

That being said, your logic is scary:

“New account. Defends Russia [btw, I don’t think I defended Russia]. Quick, call the guards!”

You remind me of the anti-gay protestors at grad school whose logic was impenetrable (indeed flawless; it was an axiomatic issue)

I am not convinced that granularity is a good argument. I'd venture to bet that few people can distinguish between 15C and 16C and you'd agree and then I'd say that it then follows that even less people can distinguish between 15F and 16F so why such a precise scale is better than Celsius ?
I've seen that stated many times. As far as I can tell, it traces back to a news article that did fun things like cherry picking individual observations from a study to support a claim even though the study's overall findings were contradictory.

My own sense is that the science seems pretty clear that, provided you are in a wreck, wearing a helmet greatly reduces your risk of serious injury and death. Helmets aren't perfect, and they may primarily be designed for lower-engery impacts, but even insufficient energy dissipation is better than zero energy dissipation.

There's a secondary claim that not wearing a helmet results in safer behavior than wearing one, and that outweighs any potential benefit. I'm not aware of any quality research to back that claim, and you'd never be able to get a study to pin the question down past an institutional review board, so I'm inclined to say that cuts very close to what we called a fundamentally unanswerable question back in my class on experiment design. (Well, actually we used the acronym most the time. ^_^ ) My personal sense is to think that expecting your garden variety distracted, chronically fatigued, or nonzero BAC driver to notice whether you're wearing a helmet in the first place, let alone modify their behavior accordingly, is giving them more credit than they've earned.
Seriously, what's with the AC-shaming in this thread and in this article, which doesn't once mention the energy required to heat homes, and that it's several times that to cool [1]. Must be some northern elitism.

C has basic support for generics since 2011.

Objective-C merges C's type system with the dynamism of Smalltalk. Generics are only meant as a mechanism to ease interop with Swift.

Dynamic languages naturally don't require generics due to their semantics.

The team always handwaved the remarks of many of us as they now themselves recognise.

"In retrospect, we were biased too much by experience with C++ without concepts and Java generics. We would have been well-served to spend more time with CLU and C++ concepts earlier."

HSA's are horrible. Way to much government nonsense with limits on contributions and providers and tying them to particular insurance plans. Completely ineffective. When you see that you could save some money for future medical expenses, but you don't qualify for any tax breaks because the amount you want to save is too much or your health insurance doesn't allow it, it's very demotivating for saving at all.

The thought I have is we should all definitely carry catastrophic health insurance, but then people should be on their own for the rest. I'm sure that payment plans and medical care clubs would spring up to fit the needs of those who absolutely need a way to force themselves to save ahead. Those things should not be called insurance, they should not be sold as insurance, nor should they encroach at all into the territory of true insurance that is meant for rare and catastrophic events.
That’s just liability-related verbiage

The fact they should've called it the Minor Leap One!

All jokes aside, it was shrouded in mystery and there was some marketing material that showed, as another poster described it, modern console level graphics, when in reality the product's graphics kind of look like the 1996 N64 to 2000 PS2, so far.

Plus there was excitement about certain features, like many three or even six focal planes. Instead there's two. Or the really immersion breaking feature in the clipping mask, it's less than a metre or so away. Anything outside of it just isn't rendered, while the world behind it of course is visible, so your 3d models just get cut off.

Everything in the lead-up indicated there might be a leap, but the reality is it's an incremental change. That's nice, but not what people hoped for.

I feel more and more done with paid streaming services. Even Netflix seems to make their interface progressively more intrusive and less useful. Their content seems to vanish and get replaced with "original content" - conspiratorial documentaries, mostly.

For sure there is still some value there, but it's more and more distributed across platforms, with worse and worse usability. Often I find I'm paying for multiple expensive services and can't find a way to stream what I'm looking for. Or (Amazon Prime!) I can rent it from a service I already pay monthly for.

TV had lower expectations. On-demand but sort-of-not-really-and-you-have-to-pay-again-and-watch-more-ads is frustrating.

I'm sure the CEO @mahmoudimus can chime in - he's been posting in this thread noting that he works at VGS.
My son is 16 and just got his driver's permit. We live in Mountain View, and so driving with Waymo vehicles is basically part of life here - I pass by at least 2 or 3 on a daily basis. They also cruise by the front of my house quite often, as I assume it's on some sort of route.

Trying to teach your kid how to drive, while behind an autonomous vehicle is a great way to see how erratic and unpredictable they really are. They don't act like humans at all. As an experienced driver, I just sort of adjusted as if Waymo vehicles were bad drivers. But to a novice driver trying to keep a safe distance, predict what it's going to do next, and adjust accordingly - it's a challenge.

What's worse is that they almost always drive too slow (read: the speed limit), which creates chaos as impatient drivers (read: everyone else) tries to maneuver around the vehicles. Imagine you're just learning how to drive, a vehicle in front of you is driving at an abnormal pace, slowing for stoplights way before necessary, wandering around the lane (especially before turning), and doing other odd things. Meanwhile, all the other drivers around you are passing quickly, cutting that vehicle off, and generally acting like morons.

The worst situation is being at a 4-way stop with Waymo vehicles. I taught my son that it's pretty normal to make brief eye contact with other drivers - or at least turn his head to face the driver that he thinks should be the next to go - which helps ensure that there aren't any weird stop/start problems. Guess what you can't do to an autonomous vehicle? No driver means that there's no real way to gauge what they're going to do. (The person behind the "wheel" usually has a blank yet terrified expression of, 'please don't kill me', rather than any real information.)

So, yeah, Waymo vehicles are weird. It's the future, though, so my son is learning how to deal with these cars the way I learned how to deal with icy roads growing up in New Hampshire. I don't really appreciate being a living beta-tester though... Happily, Waymo's record is much better than Tesla's and Uber's as they haven't killed anyone yet. Yet.
True, but consider:

When an electrical cable snaps little happens, a breaker trips and maybe a fish got fried (but not many).

When a pipeline snaps you get deep water horizon.
