Teenagers need 8-10 hours, not 7-9, but it's not just about the total time spent asleep (although this is super critical for teenagers as they need much more) it's about the quality of sleep.
Devices close to bed time stimulate the mind with a range of hormones and thought patterns. while teenagers might be able to fall asleep in the same way, they don't sleep as well. This being defined and less regular cycles and fewer and shorter phases of deep sleep, especially in the last phase of deep sleep (the most critical).

Without doubt making teenagers get up early to study has a detrimental affect of their learning and it's only our arcane societal norms around sleep that continue to compound this problem.
I disagree on the nation-wide voter registration. Besides being probably unconstitutional, it has an effect of centralizing the power of the vote into the Federal government. It would be very difficult to pull off fraud in all 50 states, but it would be at least 50 times less difficult to do it in one centralized bureaucracy.
We are still making many of the mistakes laid out in The Mythical Man-Month so…

Doesn’t really work for China though. Plenty of public toilets around, and people (mostly children) will still take a shit in the street.

Hell, I was in Chongqing a couple months ago and saw a teenager literally unzip, in full view of everyone, and pea on (on, not into) a recycling bin. Next to a god damn public toilet.

In the middle of a shopping center.

Near a police officer.

A lot of people just don’t care.
Where do you think the poop goes when it gets pumped out?

In the sailing community more and more people are using composting toilets: https://farmingmybackyard.com/diy-composting-toilet/

As long as it is disposed of safely (properly composted), the cost here is the composting material.
Because Swift was built on the foundations (heh) of and to cheaply interact with Objective-C, and Obj-C is of that misguided generation of languages which believed UCS2 was a good idea, and later had to back-define it into UTF-16.
i m not a 3d maker, but it's a field where it takes a lot of work for what would appear on the outside to be simple tasks.

3d animation generation (walks etc) or auto poly-reduction, or auto-rigging. Especially if it could auto-generate those from videos/pictures
And programmers build on other peoples work. If you take away Rust? Sure he could have done it. If you take away previous work? No way.

This may depend on their chronotype. When we were cave people some of us evolved to stay up later and guard the camp from predators, some of us got up early to hunt. You need to try and support that where possible, but not to overindulge it. If they are staying up until 2:00am to play computer games it may just be because their brain is more sensitive to light and it's actually that that's keeping them awake.
Oh, no problem. It's a favorite topic.

I'm on this path because of health issues, not specifically looking to shrink my footprint. That's more like a dude effect.

Most rentals in the US have wall to wall carpeting, which I loathe. I'm so thrilled to be in a rental with a wood floor. That's tough to find in America, especially on a tight budget.

When I gave up having a vacuum cleaner, we were in an apartment with wall to wall carpeting. It's horrifying stuff and we felt better with giving up the vacuum cleaner and finding other methods to try to keep the place tolerably clean. I've since seen articles that indicate studies show that vacuuming actually spreads germs. It may pick up visible dirt, but it makes germ control worse. That's a bigger issue for us than visible dirt. We concluded vacuuming was a health hazard years before I saw articles about such studies.

So, what I'm saying is my current situation is basically a dream come true after years and years of wanting something like this. It took a long time and a lot of little choices along the way and a lot of awkward stages where we decided "We are simply not doing X anymore. Period. Because X just doesn't work." before we had any idea what we would do instead. And then we would scramble and come up with imperfect and frustrating alternatives and muddle through.

But it did get gradually better.

Tossing that out there in hopes that it helps you with the path forward. The road ahead may not look like a road at all. You may not see it until you look back on it.

Slack: Connectivity issues for users in Europe
I put natural gas as #2 mostly as a hedge against just replacing coal with NG.

As for moving transportation to electrical propulsion, the real effect has to be judged by the marginal effect it has on emissions. If the marginal change is covered by coal, the benefit is much smaller than if the marginal change is covered by clean sources.
>>Western toilets aren’t the answer, because they require a massive infrastructure of sewer lines and treatment plants that just isn’t feasible in many poor countries.

Then build it! No magic tricks there.

I'm trying it out now. If it works well $30 is nothing for this magic. Especially in VSCode, my favorite editor. I have a problem with many languages not having the support I need. And I also don't have the best memory, so autocompletion makes me much faster and costs me less frustration with Googling.
It's like removing separation of genders for toilets and showers everywhere. The gender targetted marketting, clothes and pronuon.

On paper, the body is natural and it's a useless artificial separation. In practice, our society is imperfect, social norms and biological instincts don't align with moral and economy and logistic are important factors.

Besides, as you said, it's an interesting (and i believe benefecial) expefience to immerse one self in environnement with only your gender sometimes.
Well, you could argue that the notice is "present" (in a very esoteric sense) in a binary distribution of the software because it was present in the source code used to build it. You could also argue that a compiled version of a program isn't a "copy or substantial portion" of the Software (compilation is effectively a form of translation, which is a derivative work under the Copyright Act in the US -- and not just a copy).

Personally I would still include it in both, but I always had the impression that MIT was looser than BSD-2-Clause about this. BSD-2-Clause explicitly states that binary distribution needs to include the notice in "the documentation and/or other materials provided with the distribution", and I have a feeling that the license authors might've had a reason to want to be explicit about it.
Not everyone has someone as convincing as you, it seems:

ITT: people who'd be first to tell you 99,9% SLA is crap argue that nuclear is safe.
Also it's really unfair to most vendors that don't have close ties with the creator of the security problem. E.g. in the case of Intel this turned out really bad for all other OSs except Windows and Linux. On the other hand it makes using products/software from entities who continue with this policy even more unattractive.
Hey man, I am the CEO at Engineer.ai - it's not vapourware but also not the holy grail - marketing put up a gate just because, well, we want to make sure we deliver a strong experience - given dropbox also had a gate - I think we took a leaf out of their book. As far as customers, we built a number of projects (186 so far through the platform) and this includes the BBC Click Audience App, the in game auction SDK that was for the SF Giants (a startup was our customers) and other clients include Virgin, Future Group and a bunch of other SMEs or the SME in big companies. You can email me s at engineer dot ai and I'll make sure to get it activated so you can see. Here is also a video demo without any marketing blah blah on it - https://youtu.be/dCk66hrlLmM

> To its credit, the FAO immediately owned up to its error. Unfortunately, the agency’s initial claim that livestock was responsible for the lion’s share of world greenhouse gas emissions had already received wide coverage.
Hey Matt, please email me s at engineer dot ai and I'd love to see how we messed this up. Clearly we didn't do a good enough job and I want to make sure we make it right.
It might work in a hostage situation where they detect many people crouched / staying still, and one individual pacing around.
(Actually, I'm in the market for any breakbeat metal at all that is more than some vague fuzz attempts over the beat―for some reason, the genre is pretty much nonexistent, with Amon Tobin's "Player - Angel of Theft" being the only solid example, outside of Phantomsmasher/Atomsmasher who is great but too far on the grindcore side. You'd think that with decades and dozens of well-known bands of jazzy breakbeat, someone would think of doing that with distorted guitars.)

Monk's Enlightenment Begins with a Marathon Walk (2010)
You've hit it on the nail - assembling code or building a programmatically controlled ESB is not rocket science - asking the right questions, and being able to get people to spec without knowing "how to code" or "understanding" tech is much harder. This is where have spent a large portion of our time in building out the "Studio" where you can choose templates, or problem sets and then we organize "features" and "workflow" logic behind it. The entire lifecycle is designed around the idea of an assembly process rather than a consulting - so its more prescriptive (we ask a lot of questions upfront) - its important to note that you still get connected to a human product manager, and there are designers from the capacity side (we work with over 100 dev shops around the world that give us designers and developers).
Thats's one of main reason we got python 3. The string string story is not as good as the swift one, but in 3.6, it's one of the best i could work with. Espacially for a language that works on so many platforms, for so many use cases including web and scripting in i18n corporate environnements.

Bottom line, don't promote python 2. At this stage, it's legacy. We maintain existing money makers with it, but all new projects have no reason to be in 2.
I wonder if using Bluetooth is messing with the detection rate. Or maybe tracking the BT emitter makes things even easier.
"Easy-to-use" and "Cloud" sounds like a salespitch to me. Not interested.
The author's reasons are specific to Oracle. I believe other vendors have shown themselves to be worthy of the trust required to for such cooperative disclosure schemes to work.

As to your own more general arguments, they lead me to believe you're somewhat manichaean, and possibly a bit too eager to assign guilt and follow up with punishment.

Specifically, punishing users for "not demanding higher security" is a suggestion that can only be made when the metric ("high security") has become an objective by itself, completely divorced from real-world outcome that spawned it, namely to avoid people being harmed.

It's unclear if punishing users could reliably work as a proxy to get vendors to increase security. Thus, it is already assured that there will be some users that will be harmed by your idea with no positive effect possibly justifying that harm.

If, however, the mechanism works as envisioned by you, it would work just as well without helping it along: the very same effect will occur organically, whenever insecurity results in harm. And where it doesn't, nothing is lost. Quite the opposite: insecurity that does not result in harm is quite obviously something good.

It's a well-known failure mode of the human mind to so fully engage with some intermediate task that one forgets the initial motivation. Hence police officers arresting 6-year olds and soldiers "just following orders". Here, your suggestion is the result of fetishising one specific quality of software, namely security. Secure software, created in a process so beautiful it is a piece of art by itself, does not only shed its initial justification: Its pursuit suddenly legitimises actions specifically intended to injure those you once set out to protect.

Yeah, plus, you know: that mechanism assumes that fast disclosure harms users. So you're kinda contradicting all those other points about fast disclosure being helpful.

As to (5): You're not giving any reasons why early disclosure would result in more harm to the vendor, except for the very idea of responsible disclosure itself, namely lowering real-world harm by having a patch or other mitigation ready at the moment of disclosure. Here, you are falling into the same trap of being more interested in vengeance than justice, much like the first officer arriving at the crime scene putting another bullet in the victim to ensure that horrible criminal will face trial for murder, and not just assault.

"their data" has a special meaning. It means personal data, that is data linked to an identified or identifiable individual.

Merely using wifi signals to sense the presence of human beings is therefore not covered by GDPR.

Now, using the technology to track what's going on in your neighbour's house probably is.

On the other hand, using CCTV on your property is legal (in the UK and countries covered by GDPR).
The Clemenceau quote is not grammaticaly correct, it should be: "Le meilleur moment _de la_ programmation". Also I've seen "développement" used more often than "programmation", even if both terms are valid.

Still where does it come from? The only George Clemenceau I've heard of died in 1929.

Imagine this capability existed in the US before miscegenation, or same-sex intercourse, or cannabis use, or concealed carry, were legal/broadly accepted. It could be used to harass non-criminal supporters of these measures(caught a SSM proponent jaywalking!) and prosecute those engaged in the target criminalized activity, preventing movements to legalize these activities from ever gaining momentum. Social mores would become ossified. Perfect prosecution is not desirable in an imperfect world.
Bulgaria. :)

It's easy to write us off Eastern Europeans as "complaining just for fun" though. Many do but when you get to the bottom of it, real change happens extremely rare. And that's a valid argument and a historical background to have.

But regular-complainers and realistic-no-BS-folk often get conflated by external observers -- to my despair.

It's not much of a stretch to imagine that intelligence agencies have been heavily invested in this area and are far ahead of public research, given signals intelligence has basically been their bread and butter since forever. Moreover, Stuxnet was so advanced for the time that its existence stunned the world.

Keystrokes can be captured indirectly via audio analysis, electromagnetic emissions from wiring, and now RF imaging techniques looking at finger movements. Wouldn't be surprised if they can create multi-modal composite models to attain higher accuracy, or if RF imaging is able to capture lip/jaw movements these days.

The really sexy part is probably what they're able to do with fixed wing airborne platforms, where you can afford to pack ridiculously high-end sensors and local computing power on board.

It still weirds me out to think that a gimmick from 2008's The Dark Knight is more or less a reality now, or will be soon if it already isn't.

It’s pure pragmatism. There aren’t the resources to build and maintain a sewage network everywhere it is required. Having a more self contained, affordable solution is better for many places.
It many not be cool and glamorous but dealing with human waste in a hygienic way has been one of the biggest benefits to society that not many people think about. Better toilets means better overall hygiene which means less people sick which means a stronger more reliable workforce and less money wasted on easy to prevent illnesses.

For all of the negative things Bill Gates did when at Microsoft I am glad to see most of the money he made from those actions are being used for such positive things now rather than just going back into SV startups and the like.

> The cmd console is terrible.

Agreed. And it's not really as much a native Windows app, as it is an emulator for the "good old" times of MS-DOS, which has received the necessary adjustments to keep chugging along, but little else.

Given that you probably have what is the single weakest link unicode-wise you can find anywhere in the entirety of the Windows universe.

It's really a completely obsoleted, abandoned mess. The fact that we had to wait until Windows 10 before you could actually resize the window freely should tell you at what level you should put your expectations.

If you want to live your life in the command-line on Windows (for python or whatever else), do yourself a favour and get any other terminal.

There's really quite a few to choose from. CMDer, ConEmu and MinTTY springs to mind.
No, he's saying that the business must weigh the cost of backups with the risk of needing them and determine if it is necesarry to fund creation of said backups.

Where does Clojure fit in the technology stack of Walmart?

VPN fingerprinting is simple in most cases. The preamble to stateful VPN session initiation is generally trivial to detect. WireGuard does not (at this time) attempt to obfuscate itself, but it’s more resistant to that particular type of detection since it does not do such negotiation. So yes, this behavior could be potentially used as a heuristic distinguisher for a deep packet inspection tool.

Here is where we use AI/Expert/Heuristics (pls note I am not the AI expert but trying to be as transparent as possible)

- Pricing is a Supervised Learning Model.

- Custom Features are a Convolutional Neural Net + NLP.

- Resource Allocation (we tap into capacity of other dev shops) is an OR/ML combination.

- Sequencing of what to do is an ML/SL problem.

- Complexity is a Clustering Problem.

- Grading Devs is a Static Code Analysis (industry standard) + NLP Problem.

- Quality Early Warning is a Supervised Learning + Heuristics (we identify early potential problems based on a developer + feature set history analysis)

- Templates being updated based on features being added by onward customers.

---> Building Blocks

- Features are one or many building blocks

- They communicate through an ESB thats allows a smarter way of messaging between individual areas.

- The ESB allows us to "plug n play" -> today it still needs human stitching but that a scale problem we are looking to fix.

We are step 5 out of 12 steps of the way through the final vision - and the above are at varying stages of deployment (some early, some more established).
> HFC-134a is perfectly legal to vent into the atmosphere

The argument, I guess, is “it shouldn’t be”, but it’s better than R-12 (for the ozone layer anyway; R-12 has a GWP of 2400) so turning a blind eye to relatively small-scale use is better for the ozone layer.

Propane’s GWP is 3.3, so it’s a bit worse than CO_2 but much better than -134a or methane. A fine does seem odd for venting it although as long as it’s cheap there’s probably not much other incentive to try to conserve it.
Taxes which made the gas valuable enough to be worth capturing (charge for the externality and all that) seem more sensible but are politically unlikely and I’d be wary of unintended consequences like accidentally incentivising ozone-depleting gases instead.
