I suspect then we have two different view on how socioeconomic class came to be a scientific term and tool.

From what I have studied and learned through my years in college and afterward is that when predictive models are made, it is not enough to just look at income. Location, education and occupation also play as a factor. However the reason why they do so is relevant, and rather than assuming they exist as a matter of nature I follow the reasoning behind it. If you want to call that ignorance then that says more about you than me.

It just happens that studying at a location where a lot of rich people study is great correlation to wealth. Living where rich people live is similar great. Having a occupation which correlated to high income is great even if one do not have high income, as is an occupation which impact the wealth of others. All those are great proxies to wealth and power, which can result in people perceiving a person as being more wealthy.

HN karma do not automatically resulted in career and financial success. It no more does that than reddit points. Networking can be fruitful but it is very context dependent. HN scores are not. If you want to believe it is all a conspiracy against women then do so, but this is the reason why I agree with 90% of your original post that cover the poverty and the importance of housing, but strongly disagree when it jumps into ranting about how you get ignored "because I'm just a woman". You have a ally in the first part, but I suspect the disagreement over the remaining 10% means you see it as opposition?
Games of Strategy (4th ed): recommended resources?
HN readers, Happy New Year!

I finished a first read of "Games of Strategy" (4th ed: https://www.amazon.com/Games-Strategy-Fourth-Avinash-Dixit/dp/0393124444) and found the latter chapters on uncertainty, voting strategy & auction design to be particularly intriguing.

Can anybody recommend an online resource for further reading?

I want to say I'm not giving them a pass but I think you can go overboard and "know" that "hey in theory someone could" and security yourself into never doing anything.

Accordingly how much they knew about the nature of it and their ability to predict is really the question and IMO kinda a hard one to know (unless there are some memos out there) / judge.

Granted in the age of little to no consideration given to security in so many places .... I wouldn't be surprised by anything.

Given he was trying to predict 20 years into the future this is an amazingly good forecast compared to most other "in 20 years" lists.

I had a girlfriend who was doing her PhD in Physics. I remember one night she and her classmates spent all night working on a problem, that was essentially unsolvable. The next day they go to class and all of them made their best attempt, but no one could complete it. The problem? The professor accidentally used the wrong metric on one of the numbers meaning that they couldn't do the steps to what should have been an easy solution. Now they noticed this, they are a smart group of people, but that's not what the problem was, so they spent hours and hours trying to solve what he gave them without any hope of actually doing it.

In the end, he was like "Oh my bad," and corrected his mistake. The point of the story is that they were able to essentially ask him for the solution and they were able to check what they'd done, and in the end he made the mistake. In situations like this, he should provide the answer if nothing else to show that he didn't make a mistake in the problem set. People are fallible, no matter how brilliant you are.

Actually, there's a lot of evidence for "supposed crimes of the president". Some of his closest advisors (Cohen, Flynn, Manafort) have been convicted of felonies. All of them have cooperated to some degree with Mueller. The fact that Mueller asked for no prison for Flynn says a great deal about how valuable Flynn's testimony has been. Who else would Flynn be testifying against that's so important to Mueller that he'd pay for it with a no-prison plea bargain? Don't let political bias blind to you the evidence.

That said, I'm not at all convinced this will lead to impeachment, although it may lead to resignation. The House isn't going to impeach without a reasonable chance of success in the Senate, and I don't see twenty of McConnell's Republicans voting to destroy Trump, no matter what he did or what he's charged with doing.

The JWT has a built-in field called exp, which is the time the token is expired. This is built in.

However if you need to 'expire' a JWT token early, there isn't a good way to do it. If your token has a JTI, then you could add a blacklist for that JTI (say in redis, with a TTL until the token's exp time). But that is left to the implementor.

It depends on the nature of the work as to whether it is an ideal goal or not. If it is dehumanizing work, or perhaps even the fate of a paraplegic child to have their only career option being a "robot waiter" in a cafe, maybe there's a problem with that. Being "better off" is not only measured in terms of having wealth or a stable place to live (indeed with the same argument one could argue that slavery is justified because the slaves are "better off" living under a master rather than dying on the streets), it is also measured in life choice freedom and happiness.

What of paraplegics as restaurant managers, for instance? A related point from the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy page on Affirmative Action[0]:

>Many factories and businesses prior to 1964, especially in the South, had in place overtly discriminatory policies and rules. For example, a company’s policy might have openly relegated African-Americans to the maintenance department and channeled whites into operations, sales, and management departments, where the pay and opportunities for advancement were far better. If, after passage of the Civil Rights Act, the company willingly abandoned its openly segregative policy, it could still carry forward the effects of its past segregation through other already-existing facially neutral rules. For example, a company policy that required workers to give up their seniority in one department if they transferred to another would have locked in place older African-American maintenance workers as effectively as the company’s own prior segregative rule that made them ineligible to transfer at all. Consequently, courts began striking down facially neutral rules that carried through the effects of an employer’s past discrimination, regardless of the original intent or provenance of the rules.

Costco has precooked bacon that's pretty decent. It definitely isn't as good as the normal uncooked bacon, but only takes a couple minutes to heat up (or under a minute in the microwave). It's great because I can throw it in the pan when my eggs are just about done, total time less than 10 minutes. Tastes way better than any cereal any day, not to mention not full of sugar/carbs.
I'd argue that if you lack the self awareness to see how unhealthy you are, impart your bad habits onto your kids, and raise them till adulthood as if nothing's wrong, you are very stupid.

Taking 3D rotations into log space gets tricky. 3D rotation is not commutative, so if you have two quaternions Q and R, you can’t in general say that QR = exp(log(Q))exp(log(R)) = exp(log(Q) + log(R)). That identity only holds if the bivector (“imaginary”) parts of Q and R are oriented the same way in space, i.e. are scalar multiples of each-other. Otherwise in general exp(log(Q))exp(log(R)) ≠ exp(log(R))exp(log(Q)).

The log space version is still useful though if you want to e.g. take the nth root of a spatial rotation.
Indeed. I believe that there should be no licensing requirement to look at these things as a civilian, but the state has a compelling reason to keep unlicensed engineers from telling construction crews on how to build a bridge. Different levels of risk.
So far there haven't any mass exploits for these CPU bugs targeting personal systems like mine in the wild.

The most risk comes from web browsers as you can execute (constrained) attack code in those. That's why browser vendors were busy disabling SharedArrayBuffer real quick and developed further mitigations that hinder exploiting CPU bugs like these.

I may reconsider when browser-based exploits become a real thing that is in widespread use.

People probing my ports and exposed services running on my machines is far less of an issue since I don't run any service designed to run attacker supplied (but sandboxed) code like a browser does. If somebody managed to run code anyway (RCE) then I probably would have other problems than just worrying about somebody running spectre exploit code ;)

As it stands right now, the prime targets are shared execution environments running untrusted sandboxed code, aka cloud providers needing to worry that customer A's VM doesn't dump the memory of customer B's VM running on the same hardware.

>Land is not currently and in the foreseeable future a constrained resource

Sure, the Sahara has 3.552 million square miles of available real estate. San Francisco, NYC, Chicago, Los Angeles, Tokyo, Beijing, Paris, London, Canberra, Geneva, Soul, Oslo, Zurich, Hong Kong... not so much.

You also have a very finite amount of land that is arable and unfortunately we keep losing more and more of it to development, desertification, etc.

Again, sure there's a bunch of the U.S. that has extremely low population density but in most cases the land isn't very arable (if at all), there are no water sources for any sizable population, there are no exploitable resources to build industry around (mining, oil and gas, timber) to initially start towns around.

Realistically usable land, desirable land, land that can support populations is very much a constrained resource.

Font, color, and size choices don’t just impact the meaning and the tone of the text, they can cause the text to become unreadable at worst, and painful in many cases (eye strain).

I was lucky to have an 11” display that I was reading this on - I could enlarge the text to a point where it was readily legible. It was a good text, but the experience wasn’t enhanced by the fonts used. If I had a phone, I would not have been able to read it, even with reading glasses. The voice version of it was so slow and monotone I gave up on it after realizing the body of the text would be spoken in the same cadence.

TL;DR: Your stylistic choices can limit who can even view your text.
Yes, obviously NYC has the best transportation in the US. But the point of the article isn’t to compare NYC vs. everywhere.

I'm no so sure about that. Unless you are using an android/chromeos like system, secureboot alone itself is quite ineffective to begin with because your filesystem is writable. And keeping the private key elsewhere, while possible in theory, would just add too much friction. For instance, apt install nvidia-xxx won't work.

I thought you were talking about the raytracer I was obsessed with as a kid, POVRay, but indeed there is also a project called polyray.

I spent many a weekend rendering hundreds of .tga files and throwing them into .flc files since that was the only way I knew how to make "videos". I mostly did renderings of planets turning with texture maps, trying to get something similar to what I saw in Star Control 2, and I told myself I was making them for my own video game, but I never got past fiddling around with povray. Anyway it looks like polyray has a lot of the same facilities. I wonder how I was unaware of it for the couple years I played with povray?

It's funny, I think I've only ever opened a handfull of CYOA books and was never really interested in the genre, but I've had more fun with forum-based CYOA games, where one player is writing the story (and doing lots of ass-pull along the way) and the end-of-chapter choice is voted by the forum members. It gets really fun, with the interactivity between the writer and the player.

Or even just playing a CYOA style game (we did with sabres & guns of infinity) like this, we ended getting the worst possible ending short of dying but it was fun.

> There are plenty of subway networks with far greater traffic that don't have this problem to nearly the same extent.

I think you can go a lot further: almost all public transport networks, regardless of type or usage, don't have this problem to any extent.

Some people in large European or Asian cities don't like using public transport because of overcrowding, slow journey times, cost, inflexibility, infrequency, strikes, "terrorism" or whatever. I know people who would cite each of these reasons.

I don't know anyone who would say there is excrement or urine in the vehicles or stations, or even unwashed people. It's that rare.

Bay area residents needs to pressure their politicians into fixing the problem. That means some combination of

- extra policing

- extra cleaning

- extra public toilets

and maybe working out some long-term solution to the mentally ill homeless people.

The German WWII history of the tape recorder is quite interesting. From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetophon

> Adolf Hitler used these machines to perform what appeared to be live broadcasts from one city while he was in another. A cache of 350 of these tapes was released years later when they were found in Koblenz.

> Magnetophon recorders were widely used in German radio broadcasts during World War II, although they were a closely guarded secret at the time. The Allies were aware of the existence of the pre-war Magnetophon recorders, but not of the introduction of high-frequency bias and PVC-backed tape.)[9] their intelligence experts knew that the Germans had some new form of recording system but they did not know the full details of its construction and operation until working models of the Magnetophon were discovered during the Allied invasion of Germany during 1944-45.

> American audio engineer Jack Mullin acquired two Magnetophon recorders and fifty reels of magnetic tape from a German radio station at Bad Nauheim near Frankfurt in 1945. The allied forces were traveling through Germany during WWII when they first discovered the device. The Allies then handed the Magnetophon over to Mullin.[10] Over the next two years Mullin modified and developed these machines, hoping to create a commercial recording system that could be used by movie studios.

Over the holiday, I went through some old family stuff. There is a certificate attesting to great-grandparents' marriage from a church in Indiana ca. 1881. The document is entirely in German. Both parties had been in the US for several years by then. Now, their children grew up speaking English (and Platt-Deutsch), and any of their grandkids who knew German learned it in school.
The Cloud is similarly tricky: As we can factor our non-essential costs and push them to someone who can trade on their efficiency- there may still be competitors to Amazon, but monoculture is creating a strangling-effect there as well.

I'm hoping that privacy and legislative effects will force companies to pull more things in-house so that they can provide controls and guarantees about their use. This can be good for software: If your medical data has to be on-prem, they have to build the right security controls to do so. If it can be in the Cloud, then they just need the security controls on paper. That creates a risk that maybe we can convince people to understand.
