The efficiency isn't as bad as it used to be. I browse using Tor as a matter of course now, and it's fine.

What's the usability problem? Just that you have to download Tor Browser instead of Firefox?

The usability of setting up a hidden service is actually easier than getting an SSL certificate.
Don't use bash. Either use python or perl -- they are installed on every reasonably modern system. Using bash for this is equivalent to digging a trench using a spoon.
I've been asking for months. They also have blocked an entire /24 with some perfectly safe documentation on it, our InfoSec department says it came from our threat vendor, and our threat vendor says it came from one of our custom lists.

I got one thing unblocked successfully once, it took an entire week. Who are you protecting from what?

It seems to me like "turns out you can't trust the internet" is the right idea, but what exactly do you hope to accomplish with this block? You're not trying to make it so that... your users will think they can trust the internet?
It's my understanding that labor is not the biggest cost at netflix, compared to licensing and production, which is part of why they pay engineers so much.
Thanks for creating such a easy to use tool for solving an annoying "problem" with local certs. I never really tried to solve this myself so I just "put up" with the browser warning. I managed to add a key following the README on your repo with no problems what so ever on MacOSX. :)

Peripherally some Wall Street companies involved had an insatiable hunger for physicists and mathematicians. There was bemoaning that the brightest minds were going to Wall Steeet instead of research. The company thinking that they could apply all of the scientific modeling to markets. It worked until the 2008 crisis hit and then it didn't and they lost their shirts and were living out of their Lexuses.

Personally I suspect the underlying issue is a fundamental lack of concern for truth and its origins just wanting to make money so they throw resources at it without concerns about the why and how to get what they want to hear short term.

That trend is repeating itself in other sectors with misuse of neural networks - and I mean that in a functional sense as opposed to an ethical one. Regardless of the ethics of facial recognition in law enforcement it simply doesn't scale to huge data sets and is being treated as "has to be right" instead of viewing it as the coarse filter it is will lead to problems unless one is sociopathic enough to consider that a feature.

Top lawyers beaten by legal AI
The scientific data is pretty thin, because we (general we) only recently have the tools to study that, but it is people living under constant anxiety or depression do have measurable neuronal “damage” which we believe are permanent (we actually are not sure if they are damaged, but it is somewhat similar to hallmark of other aged-related diseases like AZ and PD).

Those who have been on medication since the early stage of their depression or GAS do not have those damaged or not to the same extent.

So it’s very important to get treated, both via medication, because this is chemical problem, and therapy, because our understanding of this chemistry doesn’t go very far, and in the end you still want to function in your environment, even when you feel or know that it is making you sick.
A) LaTeX is a library for laying out papers and common text memes. It’s not actually necessary at all. You would want to use TeX, which refers to the actual rendering engine.

B) converting layout with css to Tex sounds like an absolute nightmare compared to just implementing proper word, line, paragraph, and page flowing/breaking in the browser. In fact, HTML is pretty opposed to page breaking at all, which is arguably a forte of TeX.

1) supporting both macOS and Linux in bash is trivial. Just stick to Bash 3 functionality.

2) Bash4 is trivial to install on macOS via home brew, so saying “available” is a misnomer. “Default” would be a bit better, but many Linux distros still in use don’t use Bash4.

3) Bash 3 vs 4 isn’t “wildly” different.

> Lookup tables perform computations in a manner such that they are in effect creating new instructions custom fit for the algorithms specific purpose.

This is interesting. Considering validating utf8 is something a computer does a lot these days, would it be practical to provide this lookup table and associated instruction hardwired in a processor ? I'm thinkink about the ISA extensions possibilities provided by RiscV for example.

I may be way off, this table is 64kB in size right ? I have no idea about how much silicon real estate that represents relatively speaking...
Can you please name a few example problems that could be solved with maths?

Whenever I found a way to apply research-level mathematics to a business problem, the solution always was too difficult to sell. Sometimes I can solve my own problem, e.g. options pricing models known from financial mathematics can tell you the minimum to accept in a salary negotiation.

> (4 paragraph analogy of implausible and outrageous scheme of bakeries which is total fiction).

While I think there are lots of problems with the academic journal system, please, please, please do not reason from analogy like this article does. This is a complex topic that deserves being reasoned about directly. Presenting an analogy which is obviously artificial just primes readers with a false, oversimplified narrative. Don't do this. This is highly misleading, and the bias that results from the priming is corrosive to clear reasoning.

I'm assuming this was sarcasm. But to be sure I'll provide an opposite view:

A [farmer|musician] has [a plow|a guitar], and he uses it to [grow food|play music]. This provides value to other people, so he sells the results of his work. When he dies, the [plow|guitar] is inherited by his children, and they decide if they will use it and do necessary maintenance. If a [farmer|musician] stops working, there is no reason he should get paid.

As creating copyrighted works is a lot harder than cloning them, it is reasonable for the creator to get a temporary monopoly. But the important word here is temporary. If you take a few weeks to write a song, you might get at most a few years of this monopoly. After that, it's time to get working on your next creation.

What's the right time period? For a song, maybe a year. For a well-reasearched book, maybe 5 years. If you keep working on it after release, an extension might be acceptable, but even then 10 years should be the maximum. 75 years after your death? That's insane.

This data would be greatly enhanced if the number of charge cycles was also logged. From the graph it looks like that battery is deeply cycled frequently. That's hell on batteries.

At my org (a school) we used to disallow charging our students' laptops in class. We did that for about three years. During that time, it was not uncommon for a battery to fail in the first year, with most failing after two. Since we started allowing charging, most batteries stay above failure threshold the students' whole four years here. My hypothesis has been that students charging opportunistically avoid the deep discharge cycles that are very bad for batteries.

React has some knowledge of a given component through the use of `createElement` (or its JSX equivalents), so it's not even using global variables.

https://reactjs.org/docs/hooks-faq.html#how-does-react-assoc...

The "memory cells" the FAQ mentions sounds awfully like a map structure where React uses some internal identifier generated on first render to map any state handlers. The only "magic" bit is that it relies on the order of the `use` calls to be the same every time.
The Server-Timing Response Header
If I were going to spend $2000 to $2500 USD I would definitely build a new threadripper machine with nvme storage for a development system. But if I had a combination of only $750 to spend, free power, and a place to put something very noisy, I'd totally buy a 4U Dell 32-core server off eBay and use that.
It would also be useful to know how many domains in the TLD or what the distribution of requests is over all TLDs. Yes, .com should have a large percentage because there are so many domains registered in that TLD, but if 20% of the .amazon domains are spam/malware/phishing then a savvy admin will block by default and just whitelist the small number of exceptions.

FYI, the great fire wall engineers have already found ways to inspect packets sent through OpenVPN...

A couple of weeks ago, I was asked by a friend who was traveling in China at the time to set up a VPN for him so he could use Gmail and other Google services there...I went for the easy way and used the OpenVPN for him, but to our disappointment, with that VPN tunnel, he still could not access google search page while many other pages on other domains were fine...I spent a few hours trying to figure out why, and then I came across these discussion,

https://superuser.com/questions/1187525/vpn-to-avoid-the-gre...

https://www.quora.com/Can-Openvpn-still-bypass-the-GFW-of-Ch...

My friend and I haven't experimented further; but I think one way that might work is to chain multiple VPNs or perhaps obfuscate your protocol a bit (i.e. make some minor customization yourself)...
Even if you don't have/can't use a tripod , software stabilization is pretty good for handheld use. And there are a few ways you can pull that with OpenCV, so it's not that expensive editing software is involved (of course, Photoshop has it, and in a "photographer friendly way").
> they’ll just call the police and knock your door down

Not in this case they won't. They are absolutely not allowed to use force, even (legally) reasonable force, to enter. As such, if the defendant isn't home, they can't enter at all.

Also, the defendant is legally allowed to refuse entry. Or more precisely, they may only enter if the defendant permits entry. However, if the defendant does not permit entry, they may be in contempt of court.

And yes, I know the last bit is perverse. Apparently that's deliberate (at least it was in the English law from which the Canadian law was derived).
I don't know about the Buffer example, but I would say that it also needs to be accompanied by a difference in perspective. Instead of chasing a unicorn valuation or big profit/revenue/marketshare numbers you're trying to build a sustainable business model that provides good quality jobs to people, is a good member of the local community and provides good products to consumers.

Also cooperatives and flat structures don't mean there isn't an executive management or facilitator role, it just means that they are equal to other workers. An executive or facilitator's role would be to help keep the company on track and keep a consistent vision and resolve disputes quickly but there would be a democratic process for hiring and firing rather than a hierarchical one. Take a look at the quaker way of "finding the sense of a meeting" for consensus decision making.

I mentioned this in another thread. I'm a bit concerned about the possible effect of declaring "cultural appropriation" on poutine and other things.

In my city, and possibly Ontario, and maybe all of Canada, Shawarma Poutine has become a big hit. It's poutine with Shawarma chicken shaved onto it. It's glorious. All the shops I've been to are run and owned by either Iranians or other middle Eastern immigrants.

So to me it's a beautiful success story of immigration in Canada. These individuals are refining a brand new dish by combining middle Eastern and Quebecois food.

If we call it cultural appropriation and wag our finger at it, we possibly lose out on new things like shawarma poutine. What's the fear? That others will embrace and adopt your culture?

I feel less strongly about this part. I'm probably wrong. But I wonder if it has to do with the feeling I felt strongly as a kid. I played Bungie games like Marathon and Pathways before Halo came out. And then Halo arrived and a whole new breed of gamers appeared and made it their thing. They spoke like experts at the lunchroom table. But they didn't grok Bungie and didn't know the origins like I did. And it made me so inexplicably frustrated at them. They were stealing my thing.

Edit: a lot of good responses that have opened my eyes to additional perspectives. If you've gone this far, be sure to read the responses, too!

Very different history on the swastika. The iron cross was used by Germany for 100 years before the Nazi party showed up. On the other hand, the swastika was imported by the Nazi’s and has non German roots.

Similarly, the Rising Sun Flag has deep Japanese roots and is thus less tainted by that time period.
