Fundamentals of Photonics by Saleh and Teich

Not really my area of expertise anymore, but it's a great textbook on Photonics (Physics of Light).
Do we need a certificate authority for phone numbers now?
One group of people desperately in need is Venezuelans. You could circumvent the government restrictions and install a form of Exchange in neighboring towns of Colombia e.g Cúcuta. This would be more helpful than cash because 1. They can’t receive/withdraw money in Venezuela at this point reliably 2. They will know they have money saved for their journey out of Venezuela in Colombia and will take the decision to leave the country now.

Source: I live in Colombia and talk with Venezuelans all the time about their situation.
Doesn’t that imply we’re hiding some of the costs for nuts and meat today?
> A bit of a hassle

Something went wrong with iOS12 for me, and so I reinstalled several times. It isn’t that bad. The only niggles for me were re entering a couple of wifi networks and making the damn thing silent and blank again (why are keyboard clicks on by default?).
Finally someone who gets it.

Is about the network. I tried to pursue an EMBA, they advertised everywhere that the alumni are in every big company and because of the closed group communication, was really really easy to reach any CXO because of the school.

Otherwise, yes, I declined because of the huge time invest - money wasn't an issue, like being for a month in HK or in Buenos Aires with my class. Interesting, but not really helping.
> Your home country is pretty good at this stuff too.

Oh yea, I have no illusions about this, and I met more than a few people during my travels who deprioritize going to the US for tourism because of this, in the same way I'm discussing Canada here.

I didn't imagine that Canada was the _only_ country that did stuff like this, since I assumed we (and a couple other famous outliers like Israel) had similar stories. I was just wondering how common it was overall.
Also: those cd burners were 1x so it was a whole painful endless hour to burn a single CD-ROM!
What's a pity is that people this wealthy never reveal their true personalities and can pay for praise while deflecting shame.

Khosla can pay for a PR campaign to say a bunch of nice things about him and how wonderful of a person he actually is while simultaneously having an army of his lawyers go fight his petty battles because how dare a bunch of 'low-income commoners' tell him what he can't do. Just because he owns a VC firm doesn't mean he isn't a douchebag in real life.

Can you give examples of things you learned that were useful? My own impression of the MBA is that it's more of a trade degree where you learn anecdotal "best practices" but little to no actual science. I don't put it in the same league as a science master's degree for that reason.

Maybe my impression is wrong though.

For those worried about a situation like this, I set up automated purchase alerts on my credit cards and withdrawal alerts on my bank accounts. I see it all in close-enough-to-real-time, and it's helped me catch fraud before the banks did at least twice in the past few years.
Another way of wording the finding is "students who engage in activities that adults don't approve of found to also go to sleep at a time adults don't approve of."
I don't particularly like Musk, and I understand why people are mad, but Musk doesn't owe them anything. Anybody who doesn't like it can sell their Tesla stock and walk away. Same goes with Tesla employees.

It's not like he just started doing stupid stuff like this a couple weeks ago.

Edit: It's also amusing to see so many people on HN pushing the, "think of the shareholders" line.

If it is "so far outside the norm", then that could be why people keep getting hacked and facing clone companies popping up in other countries. Where I work, with hundreds of people, we aren't making this mistake.

As for trolling, "Assume good faith." is in the site guidelines:

I can't speak for the libertarians and how they respond. I think a libertarian blog is the perfect place for it, and I'd have happily engaged in a debate, just like I am here.

I was very outspoken in the wake of James Damore being fired from Google, because I think there was a reasonable narrative in there somewhere, even though some of the science was flawed. I still don't think firing the guy was the right response. To my mind his ideas were respectfully presented and weren't phrased in absolutes. There could have been a great conversation around gender in Google as a result.

But this is different to that. This is somebody writing off a large group's experience, supported by poor science, in an area he knows nothing about, at a conference for the express purpose of supporting women. I don't want to shut down conversation, but I sure want to condemn people who can't be respectful of others.
Your thought experiment raises a good point, but I think your conclusions are still wrong.

The boundary between what should be allowed and what should not be allowed has nothing whatsoever to do with the state of technology.

Freedom is not possible without privacy. As soon as you are in danger of privacy violation, you change your behavior. This is also known as self-censoring. You can already see it here in the forum: people report that they have nothing to hide, but they still reset their phones and use fake accounts when crossing the border.

What is particularly insidious about border control is that there is no legal checks-and-balances system behind it. Police cannot search your home without a warrant issued by a judge. Border control can search everything without any warrant.

In the past, you could yourself 'balance' this by not taking very personal things (e.g., a diary) with you when traveling abroad. But with our digital lifes, this is not possible anymore. You cannot leave your photo album at home anymore.

What makes it so much worse is that criminals can so easily circumvent this issue. They anyway use throw-away phones. They don't need to carry notebooks with them, they can just buy a new one on arrival - if needed at all - and download encrypted files from the Cloud.

So we now have established that border control has an unprecedented and uncontrolled access to our privacy. Shouldn't they be forced to prove that this pays off for our society? Please show me the cases of successful prosecution after digital search of a phone. To me, there seem extremely few of them. So it seems a high price for a marginal benefit.
The "principle" he's fighting for had already been fully vetted by the justice system. He didn't have a leg to stand on, and any competent lawyer would have told him so. His position is literally "your laws don't apply to me."
Fiddles are data and generally are transacted into a Datomic database. Which database is configured by URI, which you can see in the demo by clicking on "env" in the toolbar top right.

If you self-host, you can instead opt to store your fiddles on the filesystem in git as .edn, .cljs and .css, or whatever. You can wire up that webservice yourself in a couple lines of code. We have a lot of built in tools that work like this, for example the schema editor, the toolbar, and the hyperfiddle editor itself which is bootstrapped. Generally we prefer to store everything in the database where reasonable, because we can hot edit it and it's a much faster and fun workflow.
I have been using it for years with great success. I've only had a couple minor problems, which were small in nature and more due to Time Machine itself rather than the fact a server is hosting the service.

(Unfortunately I no longer remember the exact problems, but they were not nearly bad enough to deter me from continuing to use it. I have about half a dozen Mac devices in my home, so the net positive of continuous wireless Time Machine backups has far outweighed said small issues.)
I'm curious do any HN readers manage their personal devices through MDM with their own profiles, and what benefits are you seeing from that?

Dark Mode in CSS – w3c/csswg-drafts
Even short of skepticism of this particular effort, I'm wondering if the author has a complete understanding of the subject. For example, a drive incorporating negative mass-energy wouldn't be able to function through repulsion alone, otherwise it would fly apart. Negative mass-energy also creates catastrophic problems for current theories of physics. Catastrophic, as in, it would spark vacuum decay and cause the end of the universe.
partisanship is a misleading mental shortcut.

rather, loss aversion (a cognitive bias) can explain a fair bit of the behavior here. people with (perceived) status or privilege don't want to lose those statuses/privileges, so seek to rationalize their position. if it means attacking the underpinnings of facts and evidence, so be it (as the bias goes). it's part of our primitive brains to do so, and requires the use of our modern brains to keep in check.

also, facts and evidence live on a continuum, where facts have low margin of error while evidence has high margin of error. the way you address a high margin of error is to gather lots of evidence, so that statistically, you narrow the margin of error to something tiny, and then you can call it a fact. for example, the sun rising tomorrow has a margin of error that's approximately zero, so we call it a fact.

most reasonable people are not interested in arguing facts, especially if those calling into question those facts have no basis of expertise or credible counter-evidence.

you can have your own beliefs, but you don't get to have your own facts. moreover, it's reasonable to discount people who believe something without evidence, especially in the face of evldience to the contrary.
I'd love to hear precisely which principle that is.
The latest scam I've experienced is when I last sold my car through craigslist recently. I would get voice calls, they person says hello, starts asking about my car and the call would cut off.

Then I would get a text saying, "sorry, bad signal or it's loud where they are" At that point, a chat bot takes over asking questions about the car and talking about how they really want to buy it but need to make sure that it has no accident and that I should get a car verification report and if it has a clean history they will buy it. A link is then sent to me via text.

What I haven't figured out is if they are going to steal the CC info if entered in the link or give me some bogus report that costs $5 to acquire and charge me $100 for it.
The Canadian Cheese Cartel
Agreed. Imo one of the benefits of Bitcoin is that it should provide a ceiling of cost of remittance that is Bitcoin tx fees 2x + inconvenience of using it to acquire goods. Unfortunately the progress on the second front has been extremely slow
Canadian Legalization Map by Province and Territory
I can't fathom why you've been downvoted. I think you're absolutely correct: there's nothing "obvious" about either flavor.

It's really clear, in hindsight, why we started out with mutability (and self-modifying code and all sorts of "crazy" bit-twiddling goodies from the age of hardware-specific software).

But I don't think it takes too much imagination to envision a world in which immutability becomes the default, even (or especially) for beginners!
Hasn't the EmDrive's observed effects since been determined to be caused by improper electromagnetic shielding?
I never said it can't be learnt. Business knowledge can be learnt through study and experience. For example, taking a MBA degree is one way. Many people who spent lots of time learning and building compilers haven't put the time to study or have the experience in business... which can make a MBA degree useful for them.
You could open the dev tools in a popup. The device tools detector works by comparing some distances in your browser.
I do the same. At Chase you can set up push alerts for any transaction greater than $0.01 (it won't accept zero).

It's nearly real-time. In any drive-thru I'll have the notification on my phone before the card is handed back to me.
No, it's end of the road for him. His appeals are pretty much done and the prosecutor in the case has already expressed a willingness to lock him up.
I tried to get in touch previously via email with your team and their ongoing upscaling. I got a reply, but radio silence after that. I'm a 'devops' engineer, but I am very interested in what Remix are currently achieving and the future for their offerings. Is there a direct email you can offer for a conversation?
GoVector – Vector Clock Logging Library in Go
GoVector is a vector clock logging library written in Go. The vector clock algorithm (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vector_clock) is used to order events in distributed systems in the absence of a centralized clock. GoVector implements the vector clock algorithm and provides feature-rich logging and encoding infrastructure.

GoVector is one of the libraries provided as part of the Distributed Clocks project (https://distributedclocks.github.io/) which also provides vector clock logging libraries written in C++, C, and Java.

The logs produced by GoVector are compatible with log analysis tools like ShiViz (https://bestchai.bitbucket.io/shiviz/) and TSViz (https://bestchai.bitbucket.io/tsviz/) which visualize the aggregated logs of the entire system as a time-space diagram.
I think the general complaint is that MBA's have very little knowledge about the businesses they run.

So an MBA might promise a new feature to a client without really knowing if it can be delivered in that timeframe or even if it is technically possible.

What did I say that was unkind?

Maybe you're mad about the term "abdication of decision-making". It's a term of art. What's unkind about it?

Maybe you think it's unkind to say a woman is putting career on the back burner. But that's often accurate and a very conscious decision.

I think you don't like looking at the results of these decisions. That doesn't make the decisions themselves bad, or the people making them stupid, and describing those decisions accurately is not unkind. You are mad at the wrong people.

When I'm talking about these things I'm looking at my own bank account, as a woman who is hanging back in career so she can stay home with her kid a bit. It's just patronizing to pretend somehow magically I'm going to make more money because of this, or that when I'm 40+ I'll magically be able to jump into another tech job at an even higher pay grade. Like all the people we're talking about, I'm making decisions in an economic system that is not going to economically reward me for caretaking. I'm doing it anyway, trying to balance the present time with children with the necessity of supporting myself financially for another 50+ years given my family's longevity. I stand by everything I said.
Upsetting anyone? Probably not possible, and probably not desirable. There's always going to be people getting offended when you state a controversial opinion. But of course you can minimize the offense, and it doesn't take much imagination to think up a better option than a conference designed to support women. Blogs/journals/conferences not specifically for supporting women/editorials/radio shows/record a podcast. Write a manifesto for crying out loud.
There is a risk of them looking at the raw data of the drive and asking what all the random data at the end of it is.

The beatings will continue until you decrypt it. Hopefully you can and it's not actually just random data...
