Security has trade offs that need to be carefully weighed for each situation before some appropriate decisions are taken (with the benefit of knowledge).

But a big hurdle here is that the target audience has a critical need to have very good protective measures in place but is also at the same time very likely not to know about the trade offs or how to weigh the trade offs or even have a relatively good understanding of the basis of the trade offs. Hence the need for generic advice that could be easier to follow for most people while providing a better set of protections than the status quo (with the status quo being not even considering the security part and making assumptions based solely on habit and convenience).

Anyone who has taken some of this advice to heart and still is unsure would usually find a way to ask people who know better for tailored advice.
Do we have a right to a business's services though? Should bars be unable to ban unruly customers? I don't see how this is very different.

This got me thinking: in future we will probably stop streaming video and instead just send simple vectors. The data then gets rendered in real time into actual video. The customers will even be able to customize the movie: pick their favorite actors, the environment, etc.
The other part is, if/when you fail....

You now have a gap of unemployment. How does your next employer see that? I know a common tactic in IT is that you're a "consultant" when unemployed. Hiring managers see through that readily.

So what then? You have a failed business, unemployed, and take a pay cut on your next job... all for the hopes that you might, just might strike it rich?

Again, this situation doesn't apply for those with well monied family and significant connections.
Java is fast enough that the increased programmer productivity of the GC and other features wins out in many cases. People aren't choosing Java over C++ because it results in generally more performant code.

Assuming there’s only one particle in the universe it would still have a temperature right?

Not really.

One (not quite universal) way to think of temperature is as a measure of average energy per degree of freedom (linear motion, rotational motion, vibration, ...). This assumes a system where random interactions spread the energy throughout, exciting all these different energy states. In contrast, when you take your single particle and add some energy, there's no spreading of anything and no excitation of other degrees of freedom - the system doesn't 'thermalize', and no average emerges.

Note that there are other ways to think about this, eg in terms of inverse temperature (thermodynamic beta), which is essentially a measure of phase space growth under addition of energy. Your single particle system will only exist in a single state no matter how much energy you add, so it's not really useful to take a thermodynamic approach...

That will just normalize basic teen foolishness (that everybody does), and still leave anybody going something more out of the norm be a target.

Just like if e.g. in an alternate prohibition-era 20s everybody had drinking photos of others (since most still drank). Still plenty of room to condemn e.g. a person with teen photo that shows they are gay.

> spend their time attacking minorities, attack equal rights, and promoting violence towards anyone that they dislike. For whatever reason the Republican Party seems to have decided that those people represent “conservative” views that private companies should have to support.

The Democratic party also does these things. The issue is that the "rules" are not applied evenly. You can say much more caustic things from a leftist viewpoint and not get banned, while saying the same thing from a right viewpoint will get you banned (on many platforms).

Yes, there is toxicity on the right but there is an equal amount on the left and that group goes unpunished.

The concept of free speech is that both sides should be allowed to say whatever they want.

If you want a healthy community you'd need to moderate both sides evenly, which has not happened.
This is quantum mechanics:

To go from that to something like Planck's law, you need to add states, observables and dynamics (things like photons, energy, temperature). Those are specific to your application.
A human-targeted web structure that contains some lies is still useful for humans because humans can filter out those lies with somewhat satisfactory efficiency.

A machine-targeted web structure that contains some lies is not useful for machines because they can't filter out those lies yet. It might become useful when they can (but that might be a hard-AI problem), but it's simply not usable until that point.

So, what, you've literally never met anyone over the age of 40? 50? 60? in IT? I'll bet if you think about it for a moment you probably have. But if you haven't you need to look no farther than Pike and Thompson working at Google for two examples of older people working on interesting problems at a top tier company.

Regardleas I don't share in the cynicism and burn out that some have shared in this thread.

Even if I see some ideas recycled from 20-30 years ago I'd argue the implementations are novel. Frankly the fact that IT keeps changing is what makes it fun for me.

It's bad software. "Smart contracts" should never have been general purpose byte-code programs. They should have been something much simpler and more declarative, like a decision table.[1] Those simple tables are readable and predictable. They can even be tested exhaustively.

Yes, someone will have a use case where this can't do (obscure thing) nobody really needs to do. The way to design this is to try to express common contract forms - buying, selling, lending, renting, betting, derivatives - and make sure you have the expressive power for that. Then stop.

A decision table would be an improvement over some current written contracts. A friend once asked me to read over a complex currency swap derivative contract, written in English and I found a clause that was the opposite of what it should have been.

(And no, layering another language layer on top of the byte code, and a proof system on top of that, is not the answer.)

Looks like a nice introduction with lots of concrete examples although while reading through it I spotted a couple of minor things that are poorly worded/wrong or other things are omitted which are rather interesting from a quantum computing perspective.
Launch a boutique VoIP provider. Yes there are many out there, but the market is crazy big (and growing) and there is plenty of room for you. Big margins, low overhead if you know how to do it right. A 20-person office customer is $18K in revenue over 3 year customer life (and avg. life is higher if you provide good service). Go after niche verticals and dominate those.
Any practical program has the potential for bugs.

Note one can build the coreutils like busybox with the --enable-single-binary configure option. In this mode all 100 or so utils are combined to a single 1MB binary. I would not consider this bloated given the functionality provided.
This chart doesn't take into account the possibility of errors, though (unless you equate an error to wasted time, which is dubious). Even if you only need to run a command once a year, and it only involves a few short steps, it's worthwhile to automate the task if fat-fingering one of the commands could have disastrous consequences.

While defending Obama from misrepresentation you are simultaneously misrepresenting Trump, spinning as you say.

> calls a free press the "enemy of the people"

He calls (what he considers) the "fake press" enemies of the people. That's his right, one well exercised by Democrats when referring to Fox News, Limbaugh etc.

> threatens reporters with violence at his rallies

Pointing to the news cameras and rallying up the crowd to turn and boo != "threatening reporters with violence", nor does retweeting a WWE meme.

> wants to quash any and all opposition to him

What does this even mean? Does he use the apparatus of the state to forcibly silence detractors? Or does he just talk and tweet a lot. It's pretty clear it's the latter. Honestly I just think he wants the media and Democrats to realize what a super Stable Genius he really is and go along with his plans to MAGA (which seems to consist of building a wall, cutting taxes, and levying tariffs).

> healthy democracy

You can't see right now but I'm rolling my eyes. Assuming malicious dictatorial intent and using the most inflammatory descriptions possible to political opponents goes back to at least GW, was used against Obama by Republicans, and continues (to the next level) with Trump. This does not a healthy democracy make.

But, on the other hand, it's as free (as in speech) as ever, as long as you are not a conservative (sorry, white supremacist and/or violent conspiracy theorist) on private networks.
But 'to be able to talk (and write) about everything - is just the beginning'... Some years ago, before the polarization-outrolling started countrywide (in Real Life -and of cos in my personal view of what happen ^^) this seems to be the 'Motto'. Jet one takeaway seems that censoring added the need for even censoring more, and for the country's digital-agenda (away from industry-production for environment protection to the production of more virtual 'goods') there seem to be shiny low-hanging-money in, while the disturbed people seem to reject regulation with much impulsive behavior as a result. And so the saga of action reaction effect continues...

Almost all software dev. advice is contextual. There's such a huge diversity in the software development field and yet somehow people like to pretend that diversity doesn't exist, and like to give blanket advice that is allegedly universally applicable. You see this especially in the advice that is most relevant to small to mid sized silicon valley startups, somehow people working in that world think it is the world (of software dev) and can't imagine that any other worlds exist. Software dev. spans more orders of magnitude of difficulty, complexity, scale, etc. The advice that applies to building the operating software for a nuclear reactor, an airplane, a financial system that has to handle thousands of each individually critical transactions a second around the globe, that advice is going to often not be applicable to someone developing a mobile ad-based flashlight or fart app (and vice versa).
> In reality, the President is a sort of CEO of a giant conglomeration of federal agencies...

This is such an awful comparison. I wish people would stop making it. A CEO and the President (should) operate in very different ways with a very different set of constraints with a very different set of desired goals. They might both sit at the top of large organizations, but the Executive Branch of the US government and a company are two very, very, VERY different beasts.

> Good programmers write good code. Great programmers write no code. Zen programmers delete code.

I guess then I have been a Zen programmer from the beginning. Maybe it was because first I was into writing, and my favorite book is the Elements of Style. I relish deleting code, but you have got to understand I'm not deleting features, security, or anything.

It is really hard to explain how it's possible to someone who has not known it first hand, how you can subtract things yet lose nothing --- or even gain something. The simplest example of how you can delete code and not affect features is deleting code that was commented out by the last hooligan, commented out because he did not use version control and was trying different ways to solve the problem. The next most obvious example is code that is never run: functions that are defined but never called or, trickier, branch conditions that will never be true. But most of all I guess I have just worked with a lot of people who subscribed to the copy-and-paste method of code re-use. It's easy to pull out the repetition into functions.

One of my favorite examples of less-is-more is outside the field of programming, in the field of sports cars. The Lotus Elise weighed 1,600 pounds, so even though its engine had just 118 horsepower, it could go 0 to 60 in 6 seconds. In constrast to heavier sports cars, who solved the speed problem with the more obvious solution of dropping in a bigger engine, the Lotus also had these advantages: more miles per gallon, faster braking, nimbler cornering. As the founder, Colin Chapman, said, "Adding power makes you faster on the straights. Subtracting weight makes you faster everywhere."

How do you shave weight while retaining rigidity? Through another minimalist technique: reducing pieces. The chassis was of one piece, a "monocoque." Since things break at joints, instead of reinforcing the joints, you just do away with them. Steve Jobs, another minimalist, used the same technique in MacBooks. By cutting them out of one piece of aluminum, the frame can be thinner and lighter yet still stronger than competitors.

There is a fuse-antifuse pair most likely.
Think of it this way:

You burn the bits "0001" into some fuse bank, which is mirrored in an anti-fuse bank that now equals "1110".

You can burn the unburned fuses in the normal bank, but can't unburn them in the antifuse bank.

One reason for software bloat is DRY principle. From very first steps every programmer told DRY! As a result modern software usually has many abstraction layers (because with many layers you can reuse more code) and hundred of dependencies (instead writing/copying a few lines of code we just add one more dependency, which has it's own dependencies and so on).

The simple ingredient list of the protein bar is amusing.

The bar is blueberry flavored, but there are no blue berries on the list, and no sight of artificial flavors in the list either. And none of the other component taste of blue berries at all.

Obviously there must be at least blue berry flavors be in there, but they are not listed.

They end the list with "no B.S." but then they are obviously insulting the intelligence of the reader in such an obvious way.

Does that really work with customers?
That's not sufficient - the "private" knowledge graphs of e.g. Google aren't "crawlable", they aren't public and don't (solely) rely on the sites. DBPedia+Wikidata+all other open data sources are not sufficient for a good knowledge graph that can be competitive (in terms of coverage, thoroughness, and recency of updates) with what the megacorps can afford to maintain behind closed doors.

This is such a broken market. This sort of money should normally be going into re-investing in domestic infrastructure, continuing to offer improved services and customer support to customers, and so on.

Instead, because there's no real competition in the ISP market, these companies use their coffers to get into new markets and spread themselves thin, while ignoring their core markets because they have those customers locked-in so there's "no need" for any significant improvements for the core service.

If there was high competition in the ISP market, these sort of acquisition wouldn't happen very often, because the ISPs would have to be very vigilant about other companies stealing their market share and doing everything in their power to keep their existing customers happy and give strong incentives to new customers to come on board.

This is a nonsensical interpretation of free speech. Censoring someone is not an exercise in the censorers free speech. Free speech is a negative right, meaning for it to exist others must not stop you from speaking.

In your argument, whoever has power would just censor whatever they don't like and claim they're exercising their free speech. You're literally arguing that censorship is free speech. Straight out of a totalitarian play book.
Studying at University in Australia as an international student is not about the education, its about the immigration pathway it enables. Australia has something like 600,000 international students, second only to the USA, because all international students are immediately given a work visa, and then can permanently migrate to the country fairly easily at the end of the degree. Once you have PR you can access welfare and medicare, and can bring your whole family over eventually.

Ah, the good old "We shouldn't invest in exploration until we've fixed all our problems here." [1]

One interesting and oft-forgotten lesson from history is that -- in very broad strokes -- technological and economic advancement bring about long-term greater morality.

It wasn't just sheer human will that created a stable social hierarchies; it was technology: improved agricultural methods.

It wasn't just sheer human will that formed democracies; it was technology: printed works and literacy.

It wasn't just sheer human will that nearly completely abolished the millennia-old practice of slavery; it was also technology: mechanical farming.

It wasn't just sheer human will that brought relative modern peace; it was technology: global trade, MAD.

It wasn't just sheer human will that reduced sexism and racism; it was technology: education and communication.

There are is course historical counterexamples (e.g. firearms and Native American tragedies, or electronic pornography and sexual crimes).

But measured over the breath of human experience, exploration and technological progress are have been enormous greatest drivers for the moral advancement of the human race.
