The latest tweet could just be interpreted as a normal person having a sense of humor. However, also taking into account the past year, I would say he's reckless and immature. From what I've seen, probably to the same extent as most tech people in SV/Bay Area.

The more I think about nerds/geeks/dorks and their cultural ethos, as it developed in decades past under the thumb of a pre-internet dominant "normie" culture, the less I'm surprised about excesses and abuses of power. In this, I'm talking very generally, not with regards to any particular social issue or political controversy. A group which overcomes social oppression then becomes ascendant, often experiences an efflorescence of group pride which others can also take as tacky.

“For over a thousand years Roman conquerors returning from the wars enjoyed the honor of triumph, a tumultuous parade. In the procession came trumpeteers, musicians and strange animals from conquered territories, together with carts laden with treasure and captured armaments. The conquerors rode in a triumphal chariot, the dazed prisoners walking in chains before him. Sometimes his children robed in white stood with him in the chariot or rode the trace horses. A slave stood behind the conqueror holding a golden crown and whispering in his ear a warning: that all glory is fleeting.” -- George S. Patton.

Let’s for the sake of argument assume that the governments stated reasons are what they are going after.
Is the off chance that someone carries objectionable pornography, designs for nuclear or chemical weapons on their personal phone (instead of emailing them encrypted, or following the state’s own guidelines on how to avoid being searched) worth the ability to search everyone’s personal phone without some kind of judicial oversight? How many people are estimated to be doing so? How many people did they used to catch via the old papers method but cannot anymore? The burden of proof should be on the state who wants to infringe on the privacy of travelers.

I mean, to me the fact that they acknowledge that anyone serious about privacy can take measures to circumvent it pretty much blows the story that this will be effective at catching people smuggling weapons designs or other serious crimes out of the water.

>This analogy in no way is relevant to data organization and transmission. It's pretty hyperbolic and distracts from any point you are trying to make.

I’m trying to make the case that clearly magnitude affects whether or not something is a reasonable extension, perhaps poorly. But you’ll surely concede that doing something at increased scale often changes the nature of that thing? And that’s what I’m saying here, you aren’t just giving away what would have been in your suitcase, you are giving away the keys to your house, car, mailbox, safety deposit box, diary and family photo album. That means it changes the nature of the request, and can’t be considered along the same lines as a suitcase.
Compared to what? It’s an accurate term. Not all forms of censorship are equivalent to a big brother government.
I too am incredulous of that claim. Most likely it was meant to scare the uninformed (and also the informed, since they do not want to waste the time).
Yes, this. The side effects are not to be underestimated (they are similar to autoimmune disorders). Moreover, there are no good tests yet that can predict whether someone will respond. If someone does, it's sometimes spectacular but with all therapies from the field combined optimally, less than 40-50% responds (with single drugs it's around 10% I believe).

These sorts of efforts aren't taken seriously by the majority of the scientific community. But if that's what you want to research and you can find funding, power to you, I guess. The human race has gotten a lot of mileage from individuals going out and questioning conventional wisdom or even the established scientific thought of the day.

AFAICT they actually aren't. Go down to the dogpatch in SF, end of 24th street. Walk through the park to the water, turn right, come to sign saying No Trespassing. Call city, get told all waterways are not public. (or at least in 2013)
It's hard to blind-trust certain statistics for a simple reason, many use mobile internet when on train/bus, waiting something in line out of their homes etc, however they really use internet at home/work from a PC. In terms of time many may spend more time on a mobile devices not because it's their primary platform but because of today inefficient/poorly organized life etc.

Such scenario is hard to track statistically.

How to Apply: Please email a resume to employment@secondstreet.com.
That's part of it, yes. The other part is that we pay engineers roughly market rate for our area, but we pay support significantly above that. Our philosophy is basically that everyone who works here should make a good living regardless of what their job is, so we're going to pay everyone that baseline. Certain employees (like engineers) might make more because the market demands it.

To be more specific, we start our support people at $53k/year and guarantee $10k/year raises for their first five years. We start engineers at $71k and guarantee the same $10k raises. So engineers are definitely making more, but in terms of the fully loaded costs to us, they're not that different.

My understanding of checklists in this context is they are not intended to decrease autonomy. They aren't meant as a means to use lower skilled labor for important tasks. Instead they make sure the baselines are taken care of and we aren't skipping important steps in specific and possibly stressful situations. That said I'm sure some people will have a negative view checklists and some implementors will want to misuse and implement them in the wrong way.

After the DNC email leak, I'm amazed how little attention was placed on hard evidence that the Democratic Party methodically sabotaged candidates in the primaries. Shifting public focus to the "Russian Hacking" was amazing PR work.
I don't know about Canada's and Spain's system, but UK's (where I live) definitely isn't "single-payer" - there does exist private insurance, it allows you to "skip the line", get better diagnosis and probably also better treatment.

The "just public" system doesn't work for similar reasons as communism doesn't work. (1) Lack of incentives and (2) corruption. A paid-for healthcare encourages innovation (you can sell expensive new treatment to rich people who want to live longer, when the technology is mature it is then distributed to the masses), and prevents corruption - e.g. in Slovenia, which is "almost public" (i.e. the private healthcare system is severely limited by the government), there is rampant corruption - if rich/powerful people can't "jump the lines" by paying more, they will (try to) jump the lines by utilizing other forms of power (threats, favors, gifts, ...).

It's easy to shit on US/Switzerland, but keep in mind that their "expensive" healthcare systems also fund a huge amount of farmacy research that then "trickles down" to other countries.

Note that this requires using dm-crypt in plain mode, which allows only one passphrase, doesn't perform any passphrase mangling or salting, and performs no passphrase checking on decryption. It requires one to re-enter exact parameters, and an improper passphrase will happily give bunk data.

Secondly, high-entropy data is evident at even a courtesy glance - normal computer and filesystem operations do not produce high-entropy data on disk, therefore a large portion of high-entropy disk data is highly suspect.

I think we agree :)

Regardless, I remember two instances from Season 1 -- currently replaying episode 2, I think I finished it last time and I know the "plot twist" of the dairy farm -- where you choose to save one character and the other dies, and your choices seem to stick (so far, the other character is alive and even remembers you chose her/him over the other option). The problem for me is that it doesn't really matter who you chose, because these are cardboard characters and whoever survives is going to fill the same role. And of course, the same situations play out with minor differences no matter what. I suppose it'd be too expensive to actually have the game vary wildly depending on who you save or where you go.

If you mean the person you saved eventually dies anyway, isn't this also a flaw of the source material. I stopped watching TV show because of this: it ends up becoming a monotonous series of main character deaths.

Data Visualization of Every NASA Mission Trajectory
It's a very minor incompatibility:

Traditionally, all WebAssembly modules are essentially eval()ed. You need JavaScript to download the module into an ArrayBuffer or the like, then pass that to the WebAssembly API to compile it.

However, in Cloudflare Workers, we didn't want you to have to fetch WebAssembly remotely at startup. Instead, you upload your WASM module to the Cloudflare configuration UI/API together with your JavaScript code. At startup, the WASM is compiled and the resulting `WebAssembly.Module` appears as a global variable in your script, which you can then instantiate.

Emscripten normally automatically generates JavaScript for you to load your WASM. But Emscripten's generated script doesn't understand this delivery model where the module shows up as a global variable. It should be trivial to add support, but it would be awkward for us to try to submit a patch upstream without the functionality being public yet.
More and more, my plan seems wiser.
