So, you don't actually have to regard BG and GB as separate cases if you don't want to.

People like to write the outcome space as ordered pairs BB, BG, GB, GG (ordered by age or whatever else), because this has the advantage that all four outcomes are equiprobable, so you can calculate probabilities just by counting.

If you prefer to regard the outcome space as unordered pairs {B,B}, {B,G}, {G,G} this is absolutely fine: you just have to bear in mind that the prior probability of {B,G} is 1/2, whereas it's 1/4 for the other pairs, so a tiny bit more calculation might be required.

P({B,G}| not {G, G}) = P({B,G})/(P{B,B} + P{B,G}) = (1/2)/((1/2) + (1/4)) = 2/3 as with the other method.

Data leakage
Data leakage is the practice of unauthorized transfer of information from a data center to the external world. It can be accomplished by physical removal of tapes, reports, or disks. Data leakage occurs when a company collects data about a website’s audience and uses it without the publisher’s permission. As people navigate the web, they leave large files of data about themselves. The leakage occurs when a third party uses a tracking pixel to collect data from a website. The pixel can be a code attached to marketers to monitor the performance and ensure that it reaches the intended audience. Previous research work has shown that, despite the security policies, procedures, and tools in place, the employees engage in risky behavior that subjects the organization data at risk (Grobauer, Walloschek & Stocker, 2011). As such, there are several incidences of data leakage that occur though some can be avoided. The research paper provides a discussion of how data leakage occurs in an organization, common causes, and how to address the problem.
How does data leakage occur in an organization?

It's probably a good idea to not introduce flags like `--font-size 12p` or `--page A4` since it leads down a rabbit hole. (Where do you stop?). Directly passing down CSS seems appropriate here.

It might make more sense to outsell them. Advertise your library as being used in a successful commercial product yet better supported by the original developer which is you.

This idea that you own intellectual property is questionable. If someone hears your story or song or sees a picture you drew or downloads some source code then that has escaped into the wild and is no longer controlled. Given how much effort leads nowhere at all it is a kind of gift to be valued in this way.

Instead of trying to own things that are conceptual and cannot be owned it makes more sense to control release and advancement. Get people to pay up before any source code can be downloaded, and once the designs or code or whatever is out there then offer more and better to the highest and best bidders.

I gave up on all-in-one firewall/router/wireless AP units recently and now have a more complex setup I'd only recommend to those who enjoy setting these things up and learning.

For the firewall I've got pfSense (FreeBSD based firewall) running on an small Intel box from Aliexpress with 6x ethernet ports. I overspecced the machine so I knew it would last for years, whilst allowing running intrusion detection (snort), reverse proxy, auto blacklisting and much more.

This is also acting as my router, but if & when my home network expands I'll add a dedicated one (and probably put 4x ethernet ports bonded using lagg into it as it'll still be controlling my vlans).

I got a dedicated ceiling mount wireless AP from TP-Link.

This has only slightly higher power and space requirements than what I had, but that buys me so much flexibility. I can upgrade and augment individual components when needed (particularly wifi). I have individual vlans, firewalled off from each other, running over three wifi SSIDs - trusted, guest and internet-of-shit. I'm currently connected into my trusted vlan over OpenVPN, so I can connect to my server without having to open any ports to the outside world.

The downsides are that it did take a couple of days to set it all up to my liking, but personally I've learned so much doing it it's been worth every minute.

I don't understand the author.

The evaluation order in Lisp is not "highly unpredictable", it is dependent on the form.

I don't understand why he even constructs this strawman of "you must start in the innermost sub-form".

That's not a rule that anyone ever made. That's the rule for arithmetic expressions, sure, but what does that have to do with Lisp?

The rule in Lisp – as he later admits – is "look at the first symbol in the (outer) form".

And the whole point of special forms is to make your own rules about evaluations. In order to help the programmer.

Can you obfuscate the meaning? Hell, yes! Is that a reason not to allow it and to force obfuscated code by using unsuitable evaluation orders everywhere? Hell, no!

And even in this bad example Lisp is certainly not more unpredictable than any other language.

Let's take C:

int func(int a, int b)
{
return a + b;
}

If you start at the innermost point "a + b" you get exactly the same questions: "Oh gosh, what is the + operator?", "How do I apply + to a number?" (really?) and "where do I store the result?"

I think the author has misled himself into some extreme notion of the divine simplicity and purity of Lisp that nobody ever claimed to exist.
> Though, I think the thought experiment to about the distance between the two slits as irrelevant to QM more concretely disproves the pilot wave theory.

This sort of experiment does not disprove pilot waves.

> Science works in a very simple way. We have evidence about how the universe works. We make models to explain that evidence. The models also make predictions about new evidence that we would expect to see. New evidence appears and either confirms or limits the domain of the model

This is a very anemic view of the scientific process. Scientific theories have predictive and explanatory power. You described the process covering only the former, but the latter is critical for advancing theory.

For instance, without Bohmian mechanics John Bell probably would never have developed Bell's Theorem and all the subsequent no-go theorems which have dramatically improved our understanding of quantum foundations.

Theories that provide a mental framework for thinking about problems guide you in devising new experiments. Theories with no explanatory power provide no meaningful framework within which to devise new experiments.

This whole bull market was built not on growth but on stock buybacks by the companies themselves, using free money printed by the Fed. There has not been any real growth.

I hate to sound gloomy, but the more I look around, the more I see the swindle, the bezzle, and the veneer rather than real value and real wealth creation. I also see a lot of cheapening of formerly great products--Macbook Pro newer models come immediately to mind. But of course, hardly the only example!

The Fed operates on a razor thin ledge and is right to be putting rates back to normal levels vs. the 0.01% or whatever we dropped to--they were even working on how to operate at negative rates, and some bonds (Swiss?) actually paid negative coupons for awhile. Maybe they still do?

Anyhow, I am in favor of reasonable interest rates because that is a major lever that controls price inflation. People think very one-dimensionally about interest rates, as in, how much they are paying to maintain their ridiculous debt loads. Me, on the other hand, I have no such debts to pay off. Freedom is not being a debt slave, being able to walk away from any job at any moment and not suffer a bit for it.

I would like to see banks pay savings interest rates again. They cranked them down very fast, but have never restored them to anywhere close to where they should be right now. My checking account pays a paltry .25%, my bank acct, maybe .7%. Meanwhile, even 3-months CDs are in the 2-2.5% range right now and longer term CD rates are halfway decent again. Long term T-Bonds are up around 3%. You can find Munis and other riskier bonds with decent coupons as wells.

It's a paradox only because how question is put. Your wife says that neighbours have children, and she observed a boy. Then she observed boy again. What difference in probability having neighbours having a girl if you seen a boy once or twice.

You have red and black pebbles otherwise identical. Bag has 2 pebbles, you draw a pebble, it's red. You put it back. What's the probability of bag having black and red pebble? Draw again - red again. What's the probability of bag having black and red pebble?

Not at all, for example you can't implement the ratchet down semantics of pledge() using seccomp. For instance having initial broader promise set "stdio rpath recvfd", and then irrevocably dropping to a runtime promise of "stdio" after init. This is a very paradigmatic use of pledge(2), which a large portion of the 85% of OpenBSD's base system pledged will demonstrate.

unveil(2) would be very challenging, if not impossible. Both would require proper Linux integration and kernel implementation.
That is the Tl;dr of the essay. I looked at that and moved on.

I don't think this is all that surprising to anyone. The "pilot waves" in the oil bath aren't superluminal, so of course they don't correspond with perfectly QM pilot waves, ie. they will only correspond in scenarios where the non-locality doesn't matter.

Edit: the article actually agrees with this, so it's hyperbolic all the way through except this critical passage:

> In a quantum reality driven by local interactions between a particle and a pilot wave, you lose the necessary symmetry to produce double-slit interference and other nonlocal quantum phenomena. An ethereal, nonlocal wave function is needed that can travel unimpeded on both sides of any wall.

I hold out some hope that the Holographic Universe principle will prove true and tractable, and in the holographic isomorphism there will still be some profound sense in which two entangled photons still somehow locally share a quantum qubit prior to disentanglement.

Don't be fooled by "local" in there; all non-locality results in 4D spacetime would remain true, because of course they have to. It would be "local" in an isomorphism that will be extraordinarily counterintuitive and probably never really be something anyone can "visualize".

But, if this did pan out, there would be a reasonable sense in which the Copenhagen interpretation would have something physics-al about it (as in, grounded in physics, not necessarily "physical" in the traditional sense), where it wasn't in fact "action at a distance". I for one have no problem with the universe creating probability distributions and then randomly picking a result, as some seem to. (The Universe May Do As It Damned Well Pleases. It's true that a good sense of aesthetics has given us a lot of power up to this point, but "I don't think that's very aesthetic" is not a very strong argument. I'll give it more than 0, but not much.)

Another point to bring up - now in this day when digital cameras have quite thoroughly succeeded in capturing "perfect" colors, there is something to be said for the slightly more "grungy" colors of current Polaroid stock.

I think you're being a bit too diplomatic by calling it 'optimism' about Arc's eventual success .. to me at the time (and even more so now) it was more like hubris.

Personally, one of the most important principles for creating new things that I care about, is this: "check yourself before you wreck yourself" .. this means, be sure you're aware of your own hubris before you foist it upon others.

And I think the fact that Arc is relegated to the dustbin of failure demonstrates this even more so today. Hubris is a principle cause of unproductive behaviour in the technology industry, imho. Probably the #1 reason why things fail: people are not self-aware to the point of accurately recognising when their own hubris is getting in the way of success...

As the other reply points out, you can do things other than vote. Convincing like minded friends to get involved and convince their friends is very effective at the local scale. Local governments can improve—-or worsen—-life for their citizens dramatically (housing, food, health services, transportation, safety, etc).

On the larger scale, donations and canvassing matter. I feel like it’s a very safe assumption that the people frequenting this site have more resources (money, time, job options) than most.

You can put some of those resources to use by helping out candidates and campaigns you believe in. You can work with organizations who are working on the awful problems.

You can run for office yourself. I’ve seen acquaintances do it and win.

You can & should speak out and even quit if your company is doing something objectionable.

These are all a lot harder than just angrily watching the news (or hate-reading HN). It requires actual work and possibly significant personal sacrifice. I’m not always as good about it as I should be, but I feel confident that I’m getting better, and that those around me are too. It gets easier every day.

On a personal note: I’m an atheist and my parents mostly were too, but we were raised going to Quaker meeting. These days I find myself thinking about those Sunday school classes a lot. They were mostly focused on this kind of message (they were surprisingly secular). I wish I’d paid more attention. I might have started paying attention to this kind of thing earlier.

[edit] I totally forgot to reply to the "if something major happens we will hear about it" part:

What you consider "major" matters a lot though. Things you might normally think nothing about affect other people a lot. Also, at least in my circles, people talk way more about national news than local news, so I can't rely on hearing stuff through the grapevine.

I think it's a basic civic responsibility to keep yourself informed. It's also something most of us need to be better about.
And those are sites I don't visit anymore. Push, pull, mess with me, I go elsewhere.

> Unsustained by the particle or droplet, the wavefront disperses long before reaching its slit, and there’s no interference pattern. The Danish researchers verified these arguments with computer simulations.

Wait, what? From what I've always understood, the math behind de Broglie-Bohm interpretation results in the same exact results as the Copenhagen interpretation. It shouldn't be possible for any "computer simulation" to disprove it, by definition.

This article feels 1) pointless and 2) like it has an agenda. Oil droplets are a macro-scale approximation of something on the particle level where we already know the math works. This doesn't disprove anything, any more than doing experiments with rubber sheets and basketballs lets you disprove the general theory of relativity.

Ask HN: Why is GitHub's “Landing page” so weird?
It's been bugging me for a while. When I go to github.com and I'm not signed in I get my username and password auto-filled into the "Sign up for Github" form with my username in the email text box, my password in the password box and the username field blank. This is strange enough as most websites I can think of present a login form with a "Sign up" link for new users, but I actually have to scroll up for the sign-in link.

I don't really care, but today I had a few minutes and figured I'd post a question on HN just because I'm genuinely curious why someone would design a login experience this way.
