I was in the same boat as you, but there are big enough differences that I thought I'd get over but now recognize they're more important to me than I realized.

I lived in Alexandria (outside of DC), then Evanston (outside Chicago) and now Rogers, AR, and each move revealed things to me that I didn't realize I enjoyed.

In DC I had a big enough friend circle that any given weekend I could find someone to hang out with. In Evanston I could walk to everywhere I wanted, and in Rogers, I've got actual gigabit Internet and pay half the rent I was paying before, for twice the home.

Each new place has a different set of advantages and disadvantages. DC was crazy expensive, Evanston had my whole life revolving around Northwestern (my fiancee was a student) and I'm not making tons of friends out here in Rogers yet.

What I did realize is that I could get used to anything, and remembering that my happiness is probably going to level out no matter what my situation is helps me cope with any of the bad stuff I don't like.

I find it hard to imagine that any one place is perfect, so if it's just a matter of making tradeoffs, I don't think the choice of where to live is one that you can "solve". Just pick a few things you want, and move somewhere that has them.
As a development economist by education I recently listened to the McKinsey podcast on growth and development [1]. It was akwardly non-political. I was wondering why they would package the insight of growth economics in that kind of sauce. This makes sense and I feel naive for not thinking of their commercial goals.

I don't think there are any border disputes in this area.

Perhaps the hobby-archaeologist wanted to remain anonymous because unearthing historical artifacts with a metal detector is illegal in some places. In Germany one needs a permit at least and must leave finds undisturbed so that archaeologists can see the context of the find. If the hobby-archaeologist is searching illegally, then he/she may be afraid that the location of the find may lead to him/her.
I'm dubious that business has a cyclical nature. It's hard to distinguish a random walk from noisy waves.
The UniFi Cloud Key is basically a piece of hardware akin to the Raspberry Pi, but only serving that purpose. The UniFi Controller software is written in Java so it will run on any machine which runs Java. You can even run it in Docker. You can also use SSH to connect to the AP.

The UniFi line is rather easy to configure with the UniFi Controller. The EdgeMAX line can utilise UNMS (which can be run in a VM or Docker) for configuration but also HTTP(S). EdgeMAX devices are much more powerful, allowing fine-grained configuration via SSH when HTTP(S)/UNMS doesn't suffice. For UniFi line you should be OK with the UniFi Controller software.

TL;DR: The UniFi line has a lower barrier of entry.

Something else of note: it appears Ubiquity wants users to be able to use UNMS for UniFi products in the future. That's good news because right now you need 2 controller software for 2 product lines from the same company.
Agreed.

You're right, people are familiar with ideas of optimization and logic gates, which are classical analogues of adiabatic and gate-based quantum computation, respectively. Measurement based computation is not so intuitive, especially because it relies on large entangled states (where you have a lattice or graph of many qubits selectively entangled with their neighbors), whose behavior is complex.

He's saying that it's not MY kids are more important than YOUR kids and that MY work is more important than YOUR work. If you strip your actions from your ego, they become more sound as they are not biased or bloated by your greed or your envy towards others. You are able to applaud other people's success and wish them well without grudge, and you're able to support them without need to get anything back from them.
I personally never lived in a country with jury trials for more than a few month, so it could very well be that I just don't get the culture behind it.

Either you're assumed to be capable of judging a specific case despite media coverage or you shouldn't be judging anything at all.

Because if something as trivial as reading news makes you incapable of forming an independent opinion, I really can't think of any environment that would allow you to form one.

Again: maybe there's more behind this. Maybe some specific anglo-saxonian take on intellectual independence that requires censoring the news.
the only way to deal with these entities is not with leaflet campaigns, buttons and strongly worded letters. That ship has sailed decades ago. they operate under the law (read McMafia⁰)

IMVHO (and I understand why I might be alone in these views): people who sabotage these companies by any means possible are true heroes. We must take active measures in stopping these crooks from committing their hideous acts against the environment and against our future generations. Not everyone might have the stomach to take lives a la RAF but at least don't be a coward by being complicit. If you see something say something (leaking & exposing can be the next best thing). Learn about monkeywrenching¹. Don't say "let's enjoy it while it lasts".

We got one chance, one opportunity and not much time left - and we can't rely on our incompetent governments to do it for us. In the end Ted Kaczynski is right. The alternative will be total destruction of the biosphere, nature and ourselves (tech will not save us because tech isn't neutral).

I remember diving The Great Barrier Reef in the 90ies - I was back there last year and it's all dead now. We have no right to do this - fuck national laws that say otherwise. Any means are OK even if that means taking out the whole godforsaken race. There are many ways to do this. We just got to wake up and realize that tomorrow won't be better than today. It's impossible on an individual level and impossible on a collective level.

Thanks for mentioning this, I hadn't seen it before.
This reminds me of a quote by Tony Hoare from 1973 about Algol 60:

"Here is a language so far ahead of its time, that it was not only an improvement on its predecessors, but also on nearly all its successors. "
I'm on a similar system, albeit running on hardware as opposed to a VM. Browsing with uBlock Origin I have no problems on that site in Firefox. I did not try in a different browser, nor did I try to disable uBlock.
Two things about programming:

1. Nobody really knows how to do it.

2. If you have a system for doing it, you're doing the computer's job.

(Sadly I cannot find the source of this quote.)
Theres a reason minority groups are singled out in those sentences. Those minorities do not have equal amounts of traditional forms of power.

It's like saying that a political change could not have happened without it's grassroots supporters. It also happened because of politicians, but that doesn't matter, and it's not interesting - because 100% of political changes involve politicians (even if they had to be dragged kicking and screaming through it.) The involvement of grassroots supporters in some particular one is a noteworthy exception.
Thanks for sharing, cryptomuseum.com on itself is quite interesting.

A question though: how is humidity handled in modern electronics? Is there any sacrificial used on mainboards, or is there any design pattern used on PCBs in general to achieve the same effect?
”If you have a 20$ bill that means essentially that the government owes you the equivalent in value”

That was true in the days of the gold standard (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gold_standard), but nowadays, i don’t think it is true anymore.

You can’t bring your 20$ bill to the government and get goods in return whenever you want to make such an exchange.

Also, a lot of money gets created by banks, not the government (in the USA, all the money, I think. Isn’t the Fed independent?)
I didn't mean implicit dereference on member access, but rather implicit dereference in most non-pointer contexts. For example, suppose you have:

INT x := 0
REF INT p := x

p is a pointer here ("name" in Algol-68 parlance). Now if I want to read x via p, I can just write something like:

p + 1

No dereference operator - because + is not defined for names, the implicit dereferencing is applied (it works for multiple levels, too - REF REF INT would have been dereferenced twice).

On the other hand, the left side of := does not implicitly dereference; instead, it requires the operand to be a REF, and rebinds it. So I could do:

INT y := 1
p := y

and now p references y instead of x. If I wanted to actually mutate x, I'd have to dereference explicitly on the left side, which you do by casting, removing as many REFs as needed.

It all is actually somewhat more consistent than C, in that in C, they had to come up with that whole "value category" thing for expressions - lvalue, rvalue etc - that is orthogonal to its type. E.g. if you have "int x", the reason why you can use x on the left side of assignment is because it's an lvalue, while something like 123 is an rvalue; but the type is just int for both. In Algol, this is reflected in the type - when you say:

INT x := 1

this is actually syntactic sugar for:

LOC INT x := 1

which is in turn sugar for:

REF INT x = (LOC INT := 1)

where LOC is an operator that's kinda like a typed version of alloca() - i.e. LOC INT returns a value of type REF INT that is allocated on the stack (there's also HEAP, which is the equivalent of C++ "new", but garbage-collected). So all mutable variables actually have type REF T, and := requires the left operand to be a REF (and changes what it refers to).

OTOH if you write something like this:

INT x = 1

then x is just a binding, not a name; its type is just INT; and therefore it does not have a valid type for the left operand of assignment. Which means that technically all variables in Algol-68 are immutable - it's just that some of them can be bound to values that are names, and the name can then made to reference a different value.
Thanks for sharing! I spent one day this autumn getting the open source toolchain working and dimming the onboard led on an upduino. Turns out testing on hardware when you don't know what you're doing is cumbersome (surprising!). Your codebase (hardware definition base?) and tests will make good reading material.
I do some QC research. With the need for error correction, cracking real world encryption will require millions of qubits and that’s unimaginable from where we are. I’d be surprised by 20 years and impressed by 50.

Note however that cracking crypto is unlikely to turn out to be super exciting - really secure systems have moved on and there will be plenty of time to upgrade before QC is widespread.

There are exciting applications of QC that are less than a decade away, eg quantum simulation.
For at least one of the boxes it isn't an option because the xeon chip doesn't have a gpu inside it. So, separate video card only.
I don't think that there is an encryption crisis because there are post quantum schemes : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-quantum_cryptography

I think that it is expected that these can / will be brought into use well before QC becomes widely used and therefore attackers will only have the opportunity to decrypt public key traffic that is many years old. Very short keys can already be attacked using GPU clusters, and it is clear QC will be limited in power for a long time, so traffic encrypted with long RSA keys will be safe for many years.

Should extremely powerful QC be rapidly available, and should the public key quantum safe stuff be unworkable for some reason (for example very high speed transactions) then Quantum Key Distribution will provide an infrastructure to protect important traffic (financial institutions, markets, defence). The point here is that symmetric keys which are rather hard to break but fast to use can be distributed securely and rapidly and so can be changed very frequently meaning that attackers armed with fantastical QC would still have to spend vast resources to have any chance of reading traffic.

I think that the moderate resources being employed today are a good hedge for society dealing with this issue.

For that matter, what about retail clerks? They could defraud their customers or steal from their employers. We could license them too. Farmers workers could contaminate food. So could restaurant workers. Janitors who fail to clean properly could allow disease to spread. Groundskeepers operate dangerous equipment. News reporters could misreport the news. Priests could give bad advice -- or worse. To say nothing of legislators.

Just about anyone could screw up their job with severe consequences. So why do we license the people who cut your hair but not the people who make your food? It makes no sense. And before you conclude that the answer should be that we license people who make food, consider the consequences for people who would no longer be able to afford food. (Or a medical care, or legal services, or to have a working toilet.)

The more important something is, the more important it is that we don't price people out of being able to afford it.
I've always had issues attempting to install Windows on a machine that already has Linux on it, but it's been (relatively) smooth sailing going Windows -> Windows + Linux.
Yet other personal computers were being built in the U.S. at that time and it was somehow not a mess... Jobs was a great idea man for technology and UX, but not so good at many other areas (such as we see here with manufacturing). I know that this article is trying to make a case that the problem was the US culture ETC (pro globalism), but if that was the case... why were so many other so successful where Apple failed?

Literally there are states where they closed voting locations and DMV locations in predominantly minority areas. They created a requirement for a license and then claimed it would only impact 16 year olds and they would "drive to people's houses" at the same time that they claimed they were "out of money". Nevermind that the whole state has an issue with not enough polling stations.

No, not that one.
It's "complicated".

Castro's "26th of July Movement" (M-26-7) originally had very limited political goals. Beyond overthrowing Batista, they included some redistribution of land and some degree of nationalisation of public services, and confiscation of a lot of companies and property they considered basically fruits of Batista's corruption, but beyond that there were wide disagreements, and there certainly was not a clear agreed goal of introducing socialism at the outset.

Castro had been on friendly terms with Batista for years before. Batista gave him money for his honeymoon, and even considered him for government. Some saw him as radical, but Batista at least considered him as a potentially viable cabinet minister, despite himself being very much explicitly anti-socialist, though of course it's possible Batista saw it as a way of pacifying him.

Castro may well have had exposure to socialist ideas before then, but at the outset he was basically a nationalist with anti-imperialist views. It was first after Batista's coup and crackdown on dissidents, that Castro seriously started pushing a more radical agenda publicly.

Even them, after overthrowing Batista, Castro looked to the US as a potential ally.

But when exactly Castro started supporting Marxist-Leninism is open for debate. Castro denied it into '60 at least. Late in '61 he then claimed to have been a Marxist-Leninist secretly for some years, but he clashed with the more Soviet friendly parts of his own movement at times, and the Soviets themselves doubted his sincerity - not least because of his past overtures to the US, and how his "admission" coincided with increasing Soviet financial support.

Whatever Castro was or was not early on, there was a decade long period of Castro moving closer and closer to the Soviets where you can see the process going in lockstep with each new US rejection and each new Soviet overture, and where there's a very real possibility that the US could have turned Cuba into an ally and encouraged more liberal policies. Of course we'll never know.

While it's true that a dumped car battery would at least raise interest or even suspicion, a buried one is significantly harder to stumble upon, however suspicion is still optional. Who is going to open a potentially highly acidic/hazardous car battery anyway? Something "rattled" inside, which suggested it was dry, and what ever rattles inside a car battery, everything is supposed to be fixed there, right? Besides, an ancient Varta battery - put that in a museum! There - the cover's blown.

Back in the days no one cared about dumped car parts. But nowadays just about anything raises instant suspicion if anything out of the ordinary lies about on the ground.

You say this as if you think it contradicts what I said. Hundreds of people who meet for a week once a year are not a language community.

This is terrible advice fwiw. It might have been less terrible in 1951 before the explosion of terrible food choices. Science shows the benefits of exercise and proper nutrition + calorie restriction. You are very likely to age better if you avoid bad lifestyle decisions.

Eat well. Sleep lots. Exercise.

We really shouldn't be spreading messages to the contrary. Look down at your gut. It's killing you. It's destroying your organs with high blood pressure, insulin resistance and fatty liver tissue and likely doing so without causing any discernible symptoms. You won't know you're dying until it's too late.
In my experience that’s really only true at small scale. Once your dataset/traffic volume gets bigger you have to start getting much more hands on with sharding, keying/affinity, and availability.
