> Because it can be used to disenfranchise voters.

So can knives.

> When Alabama enacted voter ID, it simultaneously shut down DMV offices in counties with the most potential black voters.

Most of these problems are now mitigated by years of not needing ID. Now we have voter registration mailouts and such. Don't just throw away a good idea because of past abuse. We strive to be better. Giving up is regressive.
> it takes a trusted channel between both end points to establish a good OTP. This alone is hard, very hard!

Right, and this is why we don't use them for arbitrary communication between networked computers, but for manufactured cars (or other cyber-physical devices) we have a trusted channel already! The factory that builds the car!

We create the pads. We put one in the car and one in a locked case. We open the case in the server room and plug it into a large bank of pads. When updates are necessary they're run through the pad and broadcast.

If an auto company can't keep pads synced or keep pads physically isolated from malactors I really think we have bigger issues at hand. Syncing a pad could be as easy as requiring them to be read per-megabyte, with unused pad where not required, though I'm sure there are countless better ways.

> OTPs are just not worth the trade-off with respect to symmetric encryption.

I agree that if it were a choice between OTPs and symmetric encryption I'd go symmetric encryption every time, but I fail to see the downside in layering them. Further; I've seen symmetric encryption implemented insecurely in practice even if it is theoretically more secure than OTPs or PKI.

I appreciate you entertaining my questions, and I apologize if I'm inadvertently being obstinate. I really want to understand why I'm wrong here, but I still don't see it.
Absolutely. A month ago my step father was given 6-12 months. 11 days ago he passed away.
Tesla's tent is waterproof, more like a temporary structure that will be in use for years.
Body temperature for an individual patient can vary significantly based on time of day, activity level, diet, menstrual cycle, etc. A single point measurement taken once every two years doesn't really give a useful baseline and might even be misleading.
Which year Lexus RX are you referring to? The Lexus RX SUV has been around a long time, and was originally based on a car platform which I believe was the Toyota Camry / Lexus ES platform.
Wow, so disappointing that his wealth didn't help him this time. Was hopeful that one of these experimental treatments we keep on hearing about would prove fruitful.
Yeah, that was stupid and an unforced error. Anyway, that seems to be close to being closed.
Unless the external system already has a negative bias against a race and you're correcting for that bias inside your own system by adding race into the equation.
> I don't see how they can argue this with a straight face. It's all the same thing just called by different names.

I think you can argue there is a difference between affirmative action (proactively seeking candidates for racial diversity) and penalizing based on race to keep the number of a particular race down.
In a "philosophical" move I've gone into the micro-framework realm for web stuff, and of late that means mainly a Serverless Node.js (w/ ES7) set up which is similar to the OpenAPI/swagger (w/ koa) stuff I was doing a bit ago. Also some flask.

I'm mainly trying to do things with as little code as possible that are lightweight with almost no devops. Things like static site generators, Vue w/ Serverless Framework, Flask... which do have limitations... but they are tradeoffs that I'm comfortable with, and I know the work arounds.

At work for my last two W2/Employee gigs our main codebases were Laravel and Rails. Lots of advantages, but they come with tradeoffs.

My main recommendation is that you need to find what fits for your situation. Frameworks, IMO, are more than a set of technical choices they are cultures and shared sets of values. Which is why Rails didn't really fit for me. I'd argue that I'm a fair to mediocre developer... and I care more about the thing I am building rather that what I am building with. So I try my best to keep the code out of my way. JS kind of helps me do that because I don't need to flip my brain around so much between syntax, and it has arguably the most resources for getting over challenges. What I lose is speed (compared to Go, Java, C) and that I have to be really good at evaluating resources/ repos (Rails/ Laravel pretty much do this for you).
Didn't mean to imply it was a plot against Trump. Just meant, unlike other presidents, a crash, or even a potential for a crash would strongly color his agenda as a leader.
> You're trying to find a loophole

No, I'm not.

I'm trying to find an actual false representation, and seeing only a false inference of intent to use every leg of travel from a representation of intent to purchase a ticket; testing this as fraud is something which you seem to admit would see every purchase of an aggregate good or service (the example you specifically addressed elsewhere in the thread being fast food value meals) priced below the price of some proper subset of their components as actionably fraudulent (if not always worth the effort) if the intent was not to use every purchased component but only to save money compared to individually purchasing the components.
Only if the case involves a question of federal law. If the case is concerned with only state law, then the buck stops at the state supreme court. And even if the case raises questions concerning the US Constitution or other federal law, the US Supreme Court defers to the state supreme court for interpreting state law.
Spread Data Across 100s of Datacenters with No Performance Hit
That's because the Soviet/Russian Air Force upgraded to the MiG-31 in the late 80s. The 31 has the same performance envelope as the 25.
And early thermometers weren't as practical as they are today, someone going to the doctor for a cold probably doesn't want to be sent to the hospital across town to wait in line for a 25 minute temperature rating when the doctor's hand is usually "good enough":

The original thermometers were a foot long, available only in academic hospitals, and took twenty minutes to get a reading.

And it's probably the same with CT scans -- I have a stomach ache, I don't want to come back tomorrow to be scheduled for a $2000 CT scan just in case it's appendicitis. Now if I take the medicine and it's not better in a day or two, maybe then I will want that CT scan.
No, what's your point?
It’s trying to be a phone companion, like a smart watch but in your pocket. Phones are getting bigger and bigger so this is a way to get a second screen experience without constraining that experience to a 1” screen on your wrist.

I think that’s what they are trying to do. It instantly reminds me of the memory cards of the Dreamcast.
> Mostly what has happened is administrators now have data used to push docs to see more and more patients (and spend fewer and fewer with any one of them), all the while the paperwork stacks up. Somehow they never quite seemed to go away.

Under capitalism, old companies (like hospitals) don't really tend to adapt in response to market forces by actually changing anything as drastic as the shape/relative scale of their internal bureaucracy.

It looks like that happens from a 10,000ft view, but what's really happening is that old companies are just dying, having been outcompeted by new small companies that "grew up in" the market environment where the changes were "the new normal." And then, eventually, the new, small companies acquire the big old dying companies for their brand value—so the resulting merged company has the appearance of the big old company having managed to turn over a new leaf.

When a company is only slightly relatively unfit (due to e.g. serving a market with inelastic demand, like medical care), it can take decades for their relative unfitness to deplete their resources to the point that they'd seek to be acquired. The current heavily-bureaucratic hospitals might be actively dying right now—it'll just take them another 50 years to become all-the-way dead.

Did you take a moment to understand why they are doing this with a coin, or are you just anti-crypto-coins altogether?
I also tutor/educate. I've fixed people in 1 week, what the education system couldn't accomplish in x years.

I just reach in, and remove the blocks. Once they get it, they are never the same again.

True story, somebody came up to me, who was having severe difficulty. They were studying for their GED (700+ hours in) and couldn't crack it. He asked for my help and I told him I was busy at the moment, but that I could give him 30 minutes in a couple of days - but that I would be happy to talk to him right now for 5-10 minutes. So I basically grilled him for a couple of minutes, then gave him a complete dump on what he needed to do in a highly-abbreviated manner. About a week later, I see him and tell him I'm free to sit with him again if he likes, to which he replies "No, thats not necessary - I passed. I followed your advice." :)

I get people calling me up after decades (for whom I only sat with for 1-3 hours) telling me about how much I changed their lives.

...

I also do "IQ" raising. Just being around me gives you about a 10-12 point jump. The longer the period, the more permanent the results. Takes about a couple of weeks to kick in. Takes about about 1-2 years for full raise (permanent, for life).

And shit, if you give me somebody smart-smart whose open & ethical? :) Like gas, on a fire.

My only real constraints are:

a) I don't put out anything dual-use.
b) I don't hack people for harm or personal gain.
c) I don't enable crimes, criminals, or unethical people.
As someone that paid $25,000 in options commissions in 2015 even after negotiating down to 50 cents/contract and no ticket charge, free options trading in exchange for my trade data is a fair trade

Older versions of the browser aren't going anywhere. Users are free to keep them as long as they want.
Paul definitely put a pretty big dent in the personal computer universe. And I really love the Living Computer Museum.
I see what you're saying now. But my point is also mostly unchanged. Perfect tracking can be benign, or it can be harmful. Any site which requires signing in (whether a subscription or now) gets at a minimum the same information, but generally more and better information, than one in which you aren't signed into.

What matters though is what they track, and what they do with it. The problem with most tracking is that there are services that aggregate it between sites such that your viewing habits in one are available for use in another. There is tracking in an effort to make your service better, including for who you're tracking, and there's tracking as a source of revenue. The first is not a problem, and not anything fundamentally different than what you could experience while using a corner store in 1900. The problem is it's very hard to confirm which is being done much of the time.
Elon Musk would say yes. He alluded to this on the Joe Rogan podcast.

This will give the techies a reason to give to their bosses to pay off that technical debt that has accrued with these systems. Every system that uses outdated websites will need to upgrade. And they will have two years to do it. It makes the argument go from the nebulous "it will make us safer" to the concrete "things will not work".

And yes, it's a heavy handed way, but the fact there are "There are still some essential government, military and corporate websites relying on these protocols that will not be updated any time soon" shows the soft touch isn't working.
So are you saying that the two sides of the "Me Too" movement are "All Women" and "Black Men"?

I wonder if he would have been better off not being treated. The treatment can be pretty nasty.
I think it's about visibility of failure. When a carpenter or office worker make a mistake, it often doesn't take an expert to figure it out (and if it does, it's always a "clerical" error, not an honest mistake in a complex environment). Thus, whenever people look at these jobs, they're not seeing skilled laborers but someone whose time is simply less valuable than theirs. If only they had the time, they could have done it better - whereas programming is mysterious so they need "talent."

They’re clearly not in isolation. We’re not talking about storing data, but sending it and receiving it, so if the messages are encrypted, you just need to feed the code that is doing the encrypting and voila.

That's for Facebook.com not instagram. Instagram actively promotes multiple accounts.
Makes a lot of sense, and really smart to do it all-stock even if they're paying a premium to do so. This late into a bull market it offers Twilio significant downside protection on the deal.
Disclaimer again: These are solely my own opinions.

> "I’m curious what you thought when you came across that part of the article."

Several things:

1. I think Tesla vehicles are very safe.

2. I think there are several reasons NHTSA does not rank vehicles on safety. Also NHTSA specifically does not allow companies to claim a specific rank using NHTSA data.

3. I think not all real world factors may be accounted for in tests.

4. I think tests get harder over time, so Tesla is well prepared for future tests.

5. I think Tesla has a history of bending the rules in their press releases, including making other safety claims that are not supported by the agencies they quote.

6. I think with autonomous vehicles we will be able to log safety incidents per user-mile in various conditions and have really comparable data - and it's a shame we don't already have that.

7. The score mentioned is based on tests, not real world data. Without real world data, you can't say whether a vehicle is actually safe or not. I can't speak for NHTSA, but I feel that is their point of view.
Both sending SMSes and emails require relationship management with the other companies involved - the mobile networks and the large email providers - and, related, large-scale sender-side spam prevention.

Aside from that, Twilio can now act as almost a one-stop shop for your outbound communication needs - all that’s left is physical letters.

> Nearly any new car model that I look at far outsells the Model 3 during new model ramp up...

The article is apparently referring to rate of change rather than absolute numbers.

Their numbers also compare favorably to other EVs, e.g. the numbers for the Model 3 from last month are about the same as the annual numbers for the Nissan Leaf or Chevy Bolt.
A small anecdote:

I'm a male, my co-founder is a female.

We once went to a meeting with a VC (in San Francisco), and at the end he told us the story about why he didn't become a priest. Because when he was in an all-boys school, they always had one afternoon off per week. And they would go to the milkshake place and (and I'm quoting here) "everytime the girl working there turned around to stick the cups into the milkshake machine, her little butt would wiggle". He made this this butt grabbing motion with his hands.

And the way he told the story was exteremly unsettling, you could see his horniness through his words and the way he moved. Almost as if he was talking about a juicy steak he ate.

That story was 100% unrelated to our business or any other topic we were discussing. The worst part is, all 3 of us laughed. Only a minute after I realized that I should have said something.

The point of my story is that in that moment, I was almost in a shock-like state and didn't't know what to say. I was taken by surprise. My co-founder said that she felt super uncomfortable, and was happy that she wasn't in this room with him alone.

Not sure where I can report this, as Callisto seems for schools only?
I assume both of those points to be true. That the external system is negatively biased toward certain groups, and that the point of affirmative action is to counteract that harmful bias. I'll even grant that affirmative action has been somewhat successful in achieving that aim.

It's still disingenuous to argue that there is only benefit and no harm when re-balancing the scale here. Nothing irritates me more than intellectual dishonesty, and I perceive it here.
I've been using Monodraw ever since I started reading brandur's blog, falling in love with his diagrams.
Hmm, that's very odd, I've had problems wherever I deployed it, and multiple users have reported the same. Switching to another provider fixed the problems completely, this is very surprising indeed.
They are a business, after all.
In order to prevent virality on WeChat, they impose a 100 share limit before limiting new shares to invites-only and only for people who have a linked mobile number. What this effectively means is that if WeChat detects a 'viral-event', anonymity can be squashed and those responsible for causing the viral-event can be identified and I suppose questioned at a later date on whether they are anti-government or simply rabble-rousers.

Is this what you mean by wanting to have social media limits? That the government can step in and say, "Ma'am, you've shared enough, what's going on here, you're going to need a permit for this discussion" ?
When people talk about 'the stock market' or 'the stock price' they are using a very coarse abstraction.

In reality for most trade-able instruments there are a variety of exchanges all operating at once. Further in each exchange there isn't a single price. There is a collection of buy and sell orders that combined together form the 'book'. For instance if you had 10 buy orders at $1 and 2000 sell orders at $1.10 what is the 'price' of that thing? The structure of the book and how all the exchanges relate (and Reg NMS in the US equities space) are all the 'market structure'.
NASA wants to send humans to Venus – here’s why that’s a brilliant idea
The upcoming US elections may prove to be a watershed moment for modern democracies in general. There is a widely held belief in academic cycles that mass voter manipulation through social media has managed to trump all other kinds of propaganda, causing people to become electoral zombies. This belief is based on flimsy evidence and on a mountain of bias. I hope facebook and the other media do everything by the book and according to the mandates of their favorite party politics. This will be an easy way to finally dissolve these mass delusions and make it obvious that societal change is real.
Soon you'll see this linked from a Facebook post to prove that you can trust information posted on Facebook.

> Don't just throw away a good idea because of past abuse.

The specific (Alabama) “past abuse” referred to by the grandparent was in 2011-2015, not some distant time where there has been intervening radical change in the political culture that would render it irrelevant.

> Don't just throw away a good idea

The whole idea was voter suppression. There is no good idea associated with Voter ID laws in the United States. People involved in them this decade have admitted the racial and partisan purpose (usually, when they thought only members of their race and party were around, obviously.)

Ummmn, you appear to have missed the bit where this "unwanted sexual overture" was put in context i.e. "one or more inappropriate incidents by angels or VCs"

Here's an amazingly novel idea: maybe angels and VCs who are lonely should have social lives where they can make sexual overtures? Making sexual overtures in a professional context where you hold a position of power (i.e. you are a angel/VC and you're making overtures to a female founder) is grossly unprofessional regardless of whether they are persistent.
We just had a giant "get well" card out last week for people to sign for him at UW's CS department (he's donated enough to us that we're named after him, the Paul G. Allen School of CSE).
