That this vulnerability is being exploited in the wild isn't particularly new news is it? Perhaps it is the fact that I live in the Bay Area but I was walking with a home made Yagi (directional) antenna that I normally keep in the camper for picking up distant WiFi signals and the police noticed enough to stop and ask what was up. It does make me wonder if carrying around and SDR will get you in trouble at some point :-)
I think the present admin is trying to disengage from international conflicts --but there are others in government who believe the US should champion and ensure that our style of government should be protected around the world, not just the US. That said, the US, and our rivals can't allow the other to surpass it lest we cede our advantage and ability to offer support for western-style governments. Wishing for the world to be nice will end in disappointment.

When I have a problem getting a framework or library to do the thing it’s meant to do, my first instinct isn’t to debug it and submit a PR, but to look at my strategy and figure out where I’m going wrong.

In this case, maybe SF is trying to send you a signal: you probably shouldn’t be driving in it.

If you can’t change you strategy, then consider changing frameworks: LA historically has had extremely high parking minimums, though that does present its own challenges.

Just to put this in perspective, for $169 you can get a 1200Wh deep cycle battery on amazon:
https://www.amazon.com/Universal-UB121000-45978-100AH-Cycle-...

however, you will only get 300 cycles before the battery performance degrades to unacceptable levels.

If you wanted to use this deep cycle battery for 5 years (300X5, 1500 cycles), you would only be able to discharge 20%, meaning you would need 5 of them.

So given that you can buy a $169/1200Wh battery right now, and get 300 cycles
Or you can consider it a $845 (5 X $169) / 1200Wh given the above explanation regarding cycles.

So for $900 you can get a 100 AH 12v lithium battery, which gives you near 1200Wh, $900/1200Wh to give further understanding about the title of the article. The lithium battery should give you the same amount of cycles as the 5 deep cycles. However they are relatively new in this size and unverified, they will probably perform at this level.
Hey, I'm one of the co-founders of HashiCorp.

To keep it brief, we are more committed to Nomad today than before. The team has doubled in the last year, and we plan to grow further next year as well. Our goal has always been to build a simple, general purpose scheduler, that composes well with the rest of the HashiCorp ecosystem.

Kubernetes is an important ecosystem and a platform we tightly integrate with across our other products (Terraform, Consul, Vault). We've always believed that our tools would be "mixed and matched" with different technologies, and that pragmatically we should support the broadest range of integrations.

Nomad is an important piece of our ecosystem, and we have many open source users, enterprise customers, and our SaaS offerings are built on it. Rest assured, it's not going anywhere!

Exactly! If a couple of people on my team of six leave and they can’t be replaced for 6-12 months then I’m going to quit as well.

There will be more pressure on the remaining team to produce and most of the interesting long term work will be put on hold.

To be clear, these people are FTE in a company, it's "just" a different company. There are various laws here in the US about whether someone is an employee and a contractor and the courts generally seem interested in enforcing them such as they are.

The test here comes down to how much control the company has. If the company controls schedules, pays ordinary wages, provides equipment and training, etc. then it's an employee. If the person can set their own schedule, gets paid for work completed, buys their own equipment, and is free to work for other companies then it's likely a contractor.

I know that Google has an office in Tel Aviv so it should be easy enough to check if they have the same kind of staffing they do elsewhere.

I quit facebook in 2010, so don't take me for any sort of fanboy, but what 'evils' were 'enabled', specifically?

It looks like most of the election stuff was normal humans reposting things of their own volition. Yeah, there were lots of lies in it, some of it was actual fake newspapers being run out of Macedonia or whatever, but are we making facebook a scapegoat just for being the medium? Before 2016, I never heard anyone saying FB had an obligation to fact-check political speech..

Maybe we, as a society, need to figure out how to handle social media rather than expecting a guy like Zuck to do it for us.

UWP aka WinRT, was a .NET takeover from the WinDev team after they regained internal power with Vista replacing Longhorn and getting COM versions of the .NET designs.

If you compare WinRT with the the original design from Ext-VOS (COM+ Runtime) before it became the CLR, you will find quite a few similarities.
> On the other hand, you can show that the inertial mass cannot be negative (else the Lagrangian would not be bounded from below and therefore you could not minimise it; the whole of physics then comes crumbling down).

Here's a purely thought-experiment argument for inertial mass not being negative:

If you had an object with negative inertial mass, then pushing on that object would cause it to accelerate into your hand. This is a positive feedback loop that immediately results in the object and your hand exerting infinite amounts of force on each other, because applying force just leads to applying more force.
I think it was the founder of Maxim (don't remember his name, and can't point you to a link) who categorized various levels of "rich". Below $20 million (assets, not income) he classified as "the well-to-do poor". Yeah, maybe his perspective is skewed. Still, there are people who seriously suggest that $8 million doesn't make you "rich".

It seems to me we are truly and globally fucked:

1. There were just massive protests and riots in France (a relatively ecologically-aware country) due to an increase in the diesel tax of about 8 cents a liter meant to help wean the country off carbon. As a result of the riots, the tax was cancelled.

2. Current US administration is going 180 degrees in the other direction, i.e. doing everything it can to support coal.

3. Even if places like China and India go all out to try to reduce their reliance on carbon, their huge populations and still relatively low level of development mean that there is a tidal wave of new "carbon users" coming.

It's pretty clear to me that the short/medium term incentives to cheap energy are just much too great to counter the long(er) term impact of climate change. Major change (i.e. in the 3-4 degree range or more) appears completely inevitable to me, and we should at least start recognizing and dealing with that fact. The only thing that can possibly counter this is if the economics change drastically in favor of non-polluting sources, but given the timescale in which that would be necessary and the natural equilibrium economic forces fighting against this (e.g. if wind and solar get much cheaper, could lower demand for oil, but that would also lower price for oil - some alternative oil sources might become uneconomic but I'm certainly betting that all the carbon under Saudi Arabia is eventually going to be in the air), at best we're just extending the inevitable a little bit.

Drastic climate change is coming, and it is unavoidable. The planet (and I believe humanity) will most definitely survive, but sunken cities, mass starvation, climate-change induced wars, stronger and more powerful storms and fires are coming, and at this point there isn't much we can do to stop it.

Oh please, this is Ontario. The auto insurance companies main innovations have been:

2) creating new driving violations to jack up your premiums (eg: non-criminally blowing over 0.05, but less than 0.08)

Neither resulted in lower premiums for anyone else.

The title is provocative and not indicative of the article as a whole. I think this line from the article is a much better summary of the author's point,

"This is not about doing something that’s unethical, illegal or immoral. This is about ensuring that we collectively can defend the values for which we stand. I have a hard time with companies that are working very hard to engage in the market inside China then don’t want to work with the U.S. military."
> That assumes that inertial mass = gravitational mass, which is assumed to be true, not not proven.

The assertion has been tested experimentally. Inertial and gravitational mass are seen to be equivalent within the bounds of experimental accuracy. The wikipedia article on the "Equivalence Principle" has lists of tests for various versions of the principle:

What you are describing is short-selling. An option is a contract to buy (or sell, depending on the option) 100 shares of some stock at a set price, which expires at the end of a set day (usually the 3rd Friday). This contract costs some premium, which is lost if the option expires before the owner exercises it.

You can indeed make a lot of money just holding the option until it is worth more, and it can jump several multiples of the original price, especially on unexpected price movements.

As the option cannot have a negative price, your losses are capped at whatever you spent on them.
That's the result, and we can probably see the cause here with the number of environmental rollbacks we've had. Read them, especially the ones related to oil/coal.

"Ambivalent" is the word I used. I'm older than the original facebook demographic. I was well into adulthood when facebook took off. It took me a few years to even open an account, and then only because friends, mostly younger friends, were using it to organize stuff that I wanted to be involved in. I didn't hate it, I just didn't really see the point in it. I figured it was yet another social network that I could ignore forever, because it would fail in a few years to be replaced by the next social network.

Research is one thing, it advances human knowledge. My issue is with the procedure that comes from the research. I would not support this becoming a therapy, something to be used not to advance knowledge but to cure disease. I'm all for the experiment. I get worried when people talk about this as another answer to infertility, or those who suggest it as a means for men to carry babies.

Similarly, I have no issue with some of the so-called "vampire" experiments, blood transfusions between young and old (ie moving blood both ways). Much can be learned through this (liver functions, immune cells etc). But I would very much against such a thing becoming a standard therapy beyond the lab.
4 Secrets to Comfortably Working with Screenshots
"surprisingly typed" is a good term. It sounds, though, like you're using it to mean "dynamically typed", which is maybe overly harsh.

What I think it captures well, though, is an unfortunate habit among many dynamic languages' communities to pretend that types don't matter. Python is getting better, but it used to be really bad about this. The standard library's documentation, for example, would give only the names of a function's parameters, and leave it to you to figure out, presumably by guess and check (and prayer), what kind of input it was prepared to accept. It's still really common for the documentation to force you to go to the REPL to ask a function's return value what its type is.
I have a Synology DS1618+ that I'm happy with. Just upgraded to it this year from a DS413j I'd been using since Jan 2012.
The article offhand mentions that we're on track for RCP 8.5, or 8.5 W/m^2 additional heat in 2100. That should fucking terrify you. That's 4 C global temperature rise, a .75 meter sea level rise, and a doubling of ocean acidity. Page 82 of the IPCC report[1] has some fast facts- at RCP 8.5 most of the wild animals on earth will start dying out from lack of freshwater. Corals and molluscs will die out, and all ocean species will be affected. All coastal settlements will need extensive protection from higher sea level, and some will just be overwhelmed by the ocean. By 2300 they will all be overwhelmed by rising sea levels. Human food supply is greatly affected in the next 20+ years under RCP 8.5:

> All aspects of food security are potentially affected by climate change, including food production, access, use and price stability (high confidence). For wheat, rice and maize in tropical and temperate regions, climate change without adaptation is projected to negatively impact production at local temperature increases of 2°C or more above late 20th century levels, although individual locations may benefit (medium confidence). Projected impacts vary across crops and regions and adaptation scenarios, with about 10% of projections for the 2030–2049 period showing yield gains of more than 10%, and about 10% of projections showing yield losses of more than 25%, compared with the late 20th century. Global temperature increases of ~4°C or more above late 20th century levels, combined with increasing food demand, would pose large risks to food security, both globally and
regionally (high confidence)

The accompanying chart shows that human food yield is expected to decrease by ~25%.

> By 2100 for RCP8.5, the combination of high temperature
and humidity in some areas for parts of the year is expected to compromise common human activities, including growing food and working outdoors (high confidence).

What the report doesn't talk about is that by 2200, global temperature rise would be 6 C. 8 C by 2300. Those are both apocalyptic. The earth has only been that hot once before[2], and the warming period occurred over 20,000 years, caused by CO2 being released 20 times more slowly than we add it. Unlike the Paleocene-Eocene thermal maximum, species would not be able to adapt to this change. The mass die-offs would wipe out everything but the most resilient and isolated disaster species, and the Earth would enter an anoxic event. Methane and levels of other toxic gases would skyrocket and oxygen levels would suddenly plummet. Humans would need sealed shelters to survive. There would be no natural ice anywhere on earth.

Any worse than RCP 8.5 and the earth enters a runaway greenhouse. At that point the atmosphere turns into Venus, and life on Earth really would be over.

Don't you have two things that can generate gravitational fields though? As distortions in spacetime can be caused by either mass or the momentum of massless particles, such as photons. Or do I have that wrong and photons merely follow the distortions and not cause any of their own? As presumably, you could have a negative gravitational field from a photon traveling backward in time, without having any issues with changes in inertial mass.

>Calling these "burner phones" is a little silly. They are just completely private, non-corporate phones.

there is significant difference.

Private non-corporate phones are usually connected to your name just by virtue of you having an account with cell phone provider in your name or activating the phone in a way that still naturally leads to you.

A burner is typically cash-based bought/prepaid phone activated without any direct/indirect connection to your name or any other of your accounts/profiles/etc.

Given the power of FB (and money involved - i mean every scandal moves like $100B of valuation - the cost of one year war in Iraq) i think it is very reasonable and prudent of its employees to use actual burners not just private phones.
