> The issue with hash@hash is that it is still possible to see whether a given person sent an email.

In that case you already have their email, and you know what hash and salt were used. It's game over at that point afaic, nothing will stop you from reversing all of the email addresses.

Even just seeing the graph laid out would allow you to infer who some of the players are. In general, to release such information on the assumption that it will be impossible to reverse it is irresponsible, and I would have loved for the city to recognize this and to get a judge to sign off on the release.
People took his code and re-distributed en-mass. BASIC paid the Microsoft bills for almost 4 years. Are you saying people stole and/or paid for unusable code?
Yes, you're reading me right, but I skipped over the question of software which is never released publicly - mmt is correct that the GPL does not require public release of works, instead it prevents you from releasing the binaries while withholding the source.

'Secret' purely internal use of modified GPL software is not a violation - if the modified software is never distributed publicly, there's no issue.

(The Affero GPL licence is different in that regard, and was developed as a response to the software-as-a-service trend, but we're discussing the plain old GPL.)

Imperfect enforcement is a valid point, but the terms of the GPL are effective at least some of the time. Major technology companies do not want copyright scandals, even if plenty of fly-by-night companies are willing to risk it.

The only way to get a proper raise is changing companies.

Promotions tend to take years and are often more political than technical. I've seen often that a company prefers to hire someone techie from the outside rather than promoting internally. It is just the way it is.

When the already hired engineers see this kind of thing, it is not surprising that morale gets low and churn gets high.
Because MS knows nobody wants to pay $€200+ for an OS anymore? They are giving away win10 practically for free. MacOS is free. ChromeOS is free. Windows had to evolve as well. Paying for software is the past.

If MS did commercially release Enterprise LTSC it wouldn't sell. Instead it would just encourage piracy.

I think maybe consider one of the following could be true

1) You have worked with bad managers

2) You don't appreciate what a manager has to deal with. I have often felt that one of my roles as a manager is to protect the team from the board. The board waste a lot of my time while the team get to keep working. Equally the board prefer to deal with me because I have learned how to put things in their terms.

Maybe you should use your one on one to ask what they have been doing recently.

I have a good friend who is a senior engineer who is always complaining about managers, but hates dealing with other stakeholders in the business. Maybe you are under-appreciating them because you don't like what they have to do.

In terms of career progression, yes a manager can't do that for you. However a manager can recognise that you are driven and allocate work that gives you the experience they want.

I spend a lot of time doing PR for my team. The board don't really understand what they do and it is hard for them to tell who is good and who is not. I'm currently moving out of a position, and my best direct report is replacing me (in a reorganised role, doing more tech and less management). They got the job because of my advocacy, and because I allocated them work that would prepare them for the role over the past couple of years. They have been nervously learning the ropes whilst constantly commenting that, 'I remember this!'.

Gimbal lock is no problem of rotation matrices but of euler angles. Just look up the wikipedia page you posted: "The problem of gimbal lock appears when one uses Euler angles in applied mathematics"

You can represent any (any!) rotation with rotation matrices.

Quaternions are neither commutative. Fortunately you don't need commutativity to build up arbitrary rotations.
What often seems to be overlooked when talking about using DNA for storage is that microorganisms want to eat it for their own uses. DNA in the environment isn't just ignored, it is quickly degraded by excreted enzymes and then taken up by cells. Trying to keep the area sterile by typical biology techniques would also compromise your storage DNA.

Oh, and also if you put it into an organism, you better pick a plant. Many organisms (particularly microbes) are under strong selective pressure to excise DNA that isn't essential or very useful. Even in plants, your sequence is going to get corrupted over time by mutations down the generations (or even just in the one generation if your plant lives a very long time).

How hard was it to get the various peripherals working? Things like the trackpad, bluetooth etc.I've had a lot of difficulty getting Linux working in the past, and it's stopped my from making the jump from my Macbook :(
Using the GPL doesn't guarantee you that your project will take over the world. Using a BSD licence doesn't automatically doom your project. But in the case of the Linux kernel, its use of the GPL appears to be the reason for its success - it's not that it always had compelling technical advantages over BSD.

This is Torvalds' idea, not mine [0] (though he doesn't speak to Linux-vs-BSD directly)

> Sure, Sony doesn't give back - but eg Juniper does.

But in aggregate, Linux has taken over the world, and BSD hasn't. The 'snowball' effect is real.

I had similar results when looking into this - it was not competitive in cost or performance (speed, errors) a year ago.
If you were happy with the MacBook Pro $600 seems like a reasonable price to pay in comparison with the roughly $2000 you'd have to be for an equally powerful new machine. It's not like those $600 would be a sunk cost. If the machine is still good apart from the broken screen why waste money and resources?

Apple laptops range among the most expensive one but if you want similar quality from other vendors you typically have to pay a similar price, too.

If you just want to move away from Apple in terms of software (though I personally think that doesn't really make sense from a development perspective) you could install Linux on the MacBook Pro as well.

A good paper discusses all sides of a subject

Not really. There's plenty of good technical and other writing that is one-sided and opinionated, those things are orthogonal to accuracy and quality. It says 'Against DNSSEC' right on the tin.
The situation is normally happily-ever-after for people who choose to make it so. FWIW, I know a pair of couples who started dating in middle school and married as soon as legally possible, and they are happy decades later. It helps to have a strong sense of duty and responsibility in your culture.

Not that the current economy is bad, because it isn't and many high school dropouts are getting jobs now, but I'm not seeing how that relates to the economic well-being of a full-time mother. The father could be a decade older, settled into a career as a petroleum engineer or stock trader.

It's a given that a study of pregnancy age will fail to compensate for factors unrelated to age. The big and obvious one: on average, there is something different about the personality of a person who gets pregnant at that age. (and thus unhealthful choices, etc.) I do not accept any claims to have properly accounted for non-age factors. The ideal age is going to depend on your DNA (when do you reach full size where it counts?) but FWIW that is likely near age 16 for many people.

According to my experience with the phrase "currency exchange", it means exchanging currencies, not exchanging goods using one particular currency as the medium of exchange. So it would be a wrong translation.
A breeze, actually. Got all working with arch without an issue. If you're going with Ubuntu I wouldn't even worry as they got most it covered pretty well.

The greatest thing about the latest Lenovo's and the Dell's is how good Linux support is these days.

If you really, really want to use Linux and is worried about peripherals, I might suggest you look into system76 - dedicated Linux laptops with a great distro (Ubuntu-based, named Pop OS) to match.

If you are nervous about formal 1 to 1s here are some tips.

1) Car journeys are wonderful ways to find out about someone. If you have to visit another site to remodulate the wajamacallit, take someone with you. Share the driving btw, stop for a coffee if it is a long way. "Seriously, you have never been to the warehouse [or whatever], I'm going on Tuesday, come along"

2) Those mysterious times when the office, or even the corner of the office is almost deserted and one person (or two) is left there, go and sit next to them, tell them your head is fried from x meeting and you need a break from spreadsheets... then "so, how are things with you". People can be less defensive at their desks (as long as it doesn't look like you just pounced on them). Lots of times someone has replied, "actually I have been meaning to talk to you, but you have been so busy I didn't want to waste your time!". Do not do this at the end of days when they are trying to go home! This happens here on Friday afternoons a fair bit, where people have booked an afternoon off, and the phones have gone quiet.
You can achieve this using just the browser.

In Chrome Dev Tools, click on the devices button (the icon with the phone and tablet). Using the top-right menu, select "Capture full size screenshot".

Walla, you now have a full size screenshot that you can convert into PDF.

I was staying in a city in Germany's north west lately. There's a large old market place with plenty of cafés. All very busy except one: Starbucks. When you've been used to the kind of coffee that was brought in by Italian guest workers, Starbucks is a pretty mediocre experience.

On the other hand, Starbucks keeps spreading to smaller cities. So they seem popular with someone at least.
Make it yourself at home. Triple cook the chips and they'll be far from bland. Make your own tartar sauce. Beer batter some fish you've bought yourself.

Don’t get too excited about tearing engines off an in flight aircraft unless you have an acceptable substitute ready.
This is my template for 1-on-1s:

- Before the meeting, review your notes from the last one and get into the mindset of listening.

- No formal agenda. Just notes of what both you don't want to forget to talk about during the one-on-one.

- A meeting should take around 30 minutes but allow for an extra 15 minutes if necessary.

- In the first half of the meeting, you should only listen. In the second half explore the mentioned topics and introduce topics of your own.

- Write notes throughout the meeting and conclude it with mutual commitments as next steps.

Reactors are circa gigawatt electrical. Nukes usually have a thermodynamic efficiency around 1/3rd, so a 1GWe reactor will produce 3GWt at the core. That's the heat they have to deal with when uncooled.
As always, the lede is buried near the end of the article:

Before the seeds can be sold as food or feed, they'll need approval from the Food and Drug Administration

I'm honestly tired of nonsense headlines like this -- officially the FDA has not approved Cottonseed for human consumption, the only thing that has happened is that the US Dept of Agriculture has deregulated the growing of it.[0]

Now, aside from the fact that most people here on HN would be shouting about the nasty effects that deregulation can have, we have an irresponsible headline from NPR of all places about how it is "safe". This is patently false -- nobody has declared this safe except for the typist who wrote this article.

Where police treat you as fully guilty if you're a suspect despite you having to be thought of as innocent until proven guilty. A number of people have gone to jail because they knew not to keep their mouths shut and told cops too much that made them sound like criminals and guilty.

You have clearly never had Yorkshire fish and chips.

I also note the author's ommission of mushy peas and a cup of tea, but then she isn't British, so overall a reasonable effort for a foreigner.
I love chippy tea Fridays (called Fish and Chip Fridays in the article), fish and chips is probably my favourite meal, sometimes I have it with mushy peas and red sauce and sometimes I have it with curry sauce, I haven't been able to decide in the last 30 years or so of having it weekly which of these combinations is my favourite. Generally, I find coastal towns are better for fish and chips.

I like it when you have a cone of chips and the vinegar collects at the bottom of the cone, and you drink it after finishing your chips.

In high-school we would sneak out to the chippy at lunch and ask for a cone of chips in a tray, which meant we wanted a tray of chips but we only wanted to pay what we would normally pay for a cone of chips, the owner thought we were nobheads.

When I moved out for the first time, on Friday nights my flatmate and I would buy fish and chips, and beers, and watch Have I Got News For You together.

My life revolves around fish and chips.

Hopefully it is just the tone of the writing, but your description of how clipboards work makes it sound like clipboards will still be terrible in Arcan. As a user I no interest whatsoever in a clipboard managers. Basic usage (text from one window to another) is so often frustratingly broken, that if you can fix it, that alone is reason to switch to Arcan. Promise me that when I paste I will see whatever text I just copied, and I will praise your name forever.
Do you have a viable method to fix the problems you describe? If not, then we're still left with it being on the shoulders of the city. Ultimately, it's really hard to police that the vendors don't make crap solutions. If the market fails to figure out which are crap, the market may have failed, but I don't have any ideas that would succeed better.

Edit: and let me say that I posited that the issue isn't market forces. The issue is lack of expertise at decision making levels. Even if there were zero market, it wouldn't stop people from doing it wrong.

The article is written by a member of a team that publishes a lot of articles advancing this hypothesis - heck, that’s exactly what this article is about. I’m not qualified to judge the claims on-merit, but the self-serving nature of this article sets off my skepti-sense, and the fact this “major” revelation doesn’t come first-published in a notable journal is the strongest hint the research (while still useful) is probably vastly overstated.
The username would suggest otherwise ;)
I floss once every two days and convincing myself that spending just that extra amount of time on oral hygiene is worth it took years.

I exercise by riding my mountainbike up and down hills. Which I find to actually be fun instead of feeling like I'm wasting my time.

I've also done team sports during my student years, which was also a case of getting exercise while having fun doing it.

Some people have fun doing gym exercises and that's great for them. However I don't think you'll ever convince the majority of the population to hit the gym or do home exercises just to stay healthy. We should find more ways to make all kinds of sports more accessible, so everyone can find the method of exercise that they enjoy.
Interesting article however it fails to highlight the real reason for fish in a Friday, which was to do with prevention of waste.

The Church encouraged it so that the last catch on a Friday wouldn't spoil over the Sabbath. It was more out of practically than dogma from the scriptures.

Just the same as why pork has been discouraged from consumption in the middle East; it was incredibly hard to preserve it and stop it from making people ill.
Is a disruption for nothing better than a disruption with an illusion of productivity, or that maybe one person got something out of?

On the other hand though, I do think it lowers the barrier if you actually do have something to say - since you know the meeting's happening anyway and isn't something you have to request or say Yes actually I do have something to say today.
It's a survey no one can really fact check? Ladders makes commission when $100k+ workers change jobs, so it benefits them by pushing the idea that everyone's jumping ship to make more money.

I believe jakelazaroff was objecting to lalos' description that "income [isn't] a protected class, therefore the government shouldn't care and Harvard could pick and choose based on that freely."

Anti-discrimination laws don't depend only on explicit selection of a primary characteristic, but also disallow discrimination based on secondary characteristics which are correlated with the primary ones.

For example, can a company have an anti-beard policy for its employees? The answer is "it depends". There may be legitimate work-related reasons, in which case the company may do so, even if, for example, there is a religious objection from an observant Sikh who lets his hair grow naturally as one of the symbols to profess his faith.

On the other hand, if there isn't a legitimate work-related reason then it might be found discriminatory against race. Quoting the example from https://www.eeoc.gov/laws/types/race_color.cfm :

> An employment policy or practice that applies to everyone, regardless of race or color, can be illegal if it has a negative impact on the employment of people of a particular race or color and is not job-related and necessary to the operation of the business. For example, a "no-beard" employment policy that applies to all workers without regard to race may still be unlawful if it is not job-related and has a negative impact on the employment of African-American men (who have a predisposition to a skin condition that causes severe shaving bumps).

jakelazaroff's observation isn't simply that wealth is correlated with race and therefore any selection which depends on wealth must necessarily be discrimination based on race. Rather, it is an objection to lalos's incorrect characterization of how US civil rights law works.

If someone were to make argument that wealth is correlated with race, and therefore expensive goods are discriminatory, then that may have some merit. However, it does not have legal merit. Companies are allowed to select what goods to offer and the pricing. A store can decide to only offer goods which are primarily used by men, or primarily used by members of a specific religion. Similarly, the law doesn't prevent a store from discrimination based on poverty.

Also, this Harvard case isn't related to consumer products, and different sets of laws apply to student admissions, to employees, and to consumers, so your objection doesn't seem that relevant to this topic.
