There’s interesting information to be gleaned based on what’s being advertised. The biggest revelation to me was the prevalence of long term opioid usage.

I noticed that nearly every day I would see commercials to treat “opioid induced constipation” and thought to myself, “How many people are on long term opioids that it’s financially worthwhile to be marketing an auxiliary drug to deal with side effects?!”

You know the xkcd about "I can't come to bed, someone is wrong on the internet"? I think there is a widespread syndrome where people need social interaction that they aren't getting in real life, but then on the internet, they need to express dominance to counter feelings of inadequacy. And expressing that often leads to hostile responses, and feeling unjustly attacked provides a sense of release.

Once I was able to describe this pattern to myself and recognize it in myself, I started trying to reduce the amount of posting I did that expressed "I'm right and you're wrong". Because no matter how right a person is, it's generally more of a selfish activity to tell other people about our rightness than we want to admit. If positive interaction is a goal, being right does not excuse telling people they're wrong.
If, instead of identifying services by some human readable name, they are identified by their public keys, then we don't need certificates - there are several encrypted and authenticated transport protocols which only require knowledge of the destination's public key upfront.

You then need an alternative name system which links a unique human readable name to a public key. This is the tricker part (see Zooko's triangle), but there are some creative solutions like Namecoin and the Blockstack Name Service.

This article is overly simplistic, and all but guaranteed all these generic discussions about tax and growth rate, far detached from economic/social situation of Korea.

South Korea has some serious problems.

- Living as South Korean is hard and stressful. Really hard and stressful. It has one of the highest suicide rate, highest elderly poverty rate among OECD, and again one of the longest working hours. Not to mention extreme competition at school.

- As a result, less and less Koreans are getting married, and less babies are born, because people cannot afford to marry and have babies. These days a lot of young people say they cannot afford to be in a relationship! We are turning into a country of "involuntary celibates."

- This of course means there will be less and less young people to sustain the economy, which will start a positive feedback loop. Immigration might help but it can only help so much.

The government is thus forced to do something. Increased minimum wage, more public sector jobs, better enforcement of workplace safety laws (which have been basically toothless): these are desperate attempts to make people stop feeling like walking next to a cliff (and hopefully to make more babies). If these policies also bring immediate economic growth, that's great, but that's not the primary objective, as far as I'm concerned.
I agree that this talk of "non-literal interpretation" doesn't sound sensible. So it's fine for a Christian to break a commandment, say, Do not kill, replying to objections with "Oh don't be no naïve - the literal interpretation of the scriptures is not the only one, and it's certainly not the one that was prevalent historically."?! Uh.. nice work if you can get it. But it seems "non-literal interpretation" is a silly phrase for ignoring something. Like the bits in the Bible about mixed fabrics, shellfish etc that are generally ignored. Though I guess believers have to find dignified-sounding expressions for their current practises, whatever they may be.

In about 2001 in Sydney I got a taxi with a Muslim driver who assured me that he was 100% certain that Jews were behind the September 11 attacks - couldn't possibly be any more certain, he said, as if that would impress me. It was quite frightening.
I would think SpaceX isn't like most large, stable companies as their primary goal is the colonization of Mars.

Note: refined sugars are about half fructose. The liver is the only organ that can metabolize it... With refined sugars your getting a significant multiplier of what you would in nature. This turns into triglycerides which is heavily correlated to insulin resistance and diabetes.
Oh wow yes! I had the same experience reading Massassi, hanging out on MSN Gaming Zone, and reading through .cog files. It was my first experience looking “under the covers” of a game and planted a seed in my mind to explore game development in the future (now doing that professionally). I was more involved in the “hacking” scene than the modding community proper; apologies if I made any of your matches an unexpected adventure.
Wow that's hilariously low and impressive. Good for you, I'm happy it's working out for you. Does that take into account the unit/gym and food, or just the facilities?
- TXT record: pointless if your DNS is hacked

- CNAME record: pointless if your DNS is hacked

- Put a file or add a meta-tag to HTML at a specific path: pointless if your DNS is hacked, they can just add/change A/AAAA record and host their own webserver

- Email to webmaster@.. etc: pointless if your DNS is hacked, add MX record
And Google Search Appliance, Urchin Web Monitor, etc. it’s definitely not just a bunch of people burned by Reader.
That's a cool life journey
I think the disturbing precedent would be a large multinational US company disregarding the laws of a sovereign country. Then again, I guess that wouldn’t be “setting a precedent” after all.

As much as I disagree with the Saudi government, it is their right to make and enforce laws. Foreign companies wishing to operate there can’t only comply with laws that are in line with their own values.
Yeah, this. We've been out of the US for a year now, works everywhere we've been (except Vietnam, though that worked out okay too because Hangouts has calls/text). Can't imagine having to hassle with a new sim every new country, esp with there being 5 of us.
WARN only applies to notice, not to severance pay. As far as I know, even in a mass layoff situation in CA like this, they are not required to provide any compensation. You could look at it as "hey we're going to fire you in 60 days per WARN, so just stop working now and we'll pay you for that time" but it's not quite the same - they could just notify them, make them work the 8 weeks and not provide any actual severance pay.
Wikipedia does consider the documentation suitable for supporting information in the article, but not suitable for establishing the topic's notability.

The article needs independent sources (as in, secondary sources that are financially and editorially independent of the company who develops the .mix file type) to show that the topic warrants an article.

If an article has enough sources cited to show notability, primary sources like documentation pages can be used. If notability is not shown, then the topic doesn't meet Wikipedia's inclusion criteria and the content of the article is moot.

Without this requirement, any company would be able to publish promotional articles on all of its products, and exclusively use its own web pages as citations. Wikipedia's notability guidelines are in place to prevent spam and to ensure that topics only get articles if they can be written about in a neutral way.

I’ve played with the adafruit 9DOF sensor on a handgun. It was fun, but trigger pull wasn’t my problem, so I went on to other things.

However, I’ve always idly wondered about mounting a cheap keychain cam to a flashlight mount, then exploiting the rolling shutter effect to extract high frequency rotation information.
Federal and state wiretapping laws, most likely. Sometimes they are rather ambiguous, and states vary.

California is apparently one of the most restrictive two party consent jurisdictions. That is basically that everybody has to consent to a conversation being recorded or the act of recording is illegal. I'm pretty sure this would apply to surveillance cameras inside cars while they are being worked on.
Also DNSSEC requires a trusted root signature, I'd hardly consider that decentralized.

(But they have a key signing ceremony, so we can trust that it is secure.)
I'm just glad they did this before all those people were on mars.
Because the data doesn't cost anything different than when I'm at home. Do you always do that when you're at home too? That's very conscientious of you, I can tell you that my data bill is already under $5-10/mo most months, there is just WiFi everywhere so I don't always go to the trouble.

The fact is that the calling rates are very reasonable by default while traveling abroad, and there are no extras charged for data or text. I rarely travel internationally, but not to be held back by my phone! There are no special travel packages to buy, it just works wherever you go.

I'm looking back at the things that I own today that I owned in 2000. (Or, if you're young, consider the things your parents own that they owned in 2000). It's not a ton, but it's not zero either. And we're equidistant to 2038 and to 2000.

I'm not sure how long does it take to go NYC from NJ, because I'm living in Japan.
I don't really think seeing a camera is consent. Or that putting a running camera in a workplace makes you a "party".

If I pick up a phone and call a service center, they tell me they are recording the call. Obviously a phone has a microphone, because I am talking into it doesn't mean I consent to being recorded; my default expectation is that I am speaking unrecorded to another human not stored except for the necessities of transmission.
> How do you establish that a VC has any skill?

The Queensland University of Technology study showed that startups that took VC funding were no more or less likely to succeed than those that didn't.

This suggests that the average VC cannot pick winners better than chance, and that "skill" is therefore not a requirement to be a VC.

I find this disturbing.
> Since 2010, no single browser has gained more than two thirds of global market share anymore

What about Google Chrome?
I’ve got those choices if I use DNSSEC for my trust, correct. Or I use the existing system, where if a CA misbehaves, we boot them out of the browser trust stores and site operators don’t have to change anything.
Public pressure in the form of negative press or Twitter mobs can go a long way; I could name a dozen firings and deplatformings off the top of my head just in the past year. As far as banking and payments goes, there is evidence that the FDIC pressured banks to cut off businesses selling satanic death metal, providing payday loans, or distributing racist materials, formerly under the auspices of "Operation Choke Point" [1].

The larger phenomenon has also been dubbed "woke capital": the claim is that as a shield against public opinion and regulators, multi-billion dollar corporations promote various types of progressive activism that don't cut into their bottom line [2]. How public opinion and regulators got that way is another story and still a mystery to me.

I want to buy these now. I suppose they don't let you buy and cook it at home because it's got a fragile or difficult process to end up with something that looks like a burger.
It just blows my mind that the cables that power the space station are some standard CAT 5/6 cabling that I can go buy at the local hardware store.

I had the same thought! Everywhere I've explored is so junky - every surface is consistently covered in stuff. I'd pay so much money to see Marie Kondo tidy in space.
In this case sending money is a big part of it but sending money to support something specific at a pre-determined interval is another part.
Not only now Linked Data + RDF is even simpler and nicer to learn: There are currently more libraries to work with. Also it is more critical than ever for many industries.

Current solution for several issues related with electronic health records concluded to create the new standard, to use RDF and linked data, which solved most of the issues on the previous standard. See FHIR: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fast_Healthcare_Interoperabili...

In fact, current linked data discussions seem to me that become relevant again because it is more clear now that we have been misusing/overusing/ bad REST, microservices architectures and GraphQL for some already analyzed and solved problems.

But, of course, for a single application which doesn't require interoperability, not requiring standardized data exchange formats, not requiring support for flexible data representation, Linked Data and RDF will be clearly unnecessary. But on time, the future of data interconnection plays on the side of Linked Data IMHO.

Until now, current attempts to create some Linked Data + RDF alternate infraestructures are more likely to create ad-hoc, informally specified, bug-ridden, slow implementations of Linked Data and RDF.
Subject-matter experts, such as distinguished professors, are considered reliable sources regardless of where their statements or writings are published. I'm not sure if it has always been this way, but it is currently written into Wikipedia's policy:

You're right about fan sites. It's harder for people outside of the fan community to evaluate whether a fan site is reliable, and that contributes to the skepticism you see.
This article is about an incident in Toronto, which is subject to Canadian federal and Ontario provincial law.
Fair offer. I wish the Congress could learn from Beijing on this.
Considering that Musk keeps a policy of periodically firing a flat 10% of the workforce, it's no wonder Tesla isn't interested in a union.

Some pundits will undoubtedly incorporate into their anti-union rhetoric the news that Tesla is walking away from the plant. But I doubt they'll mention the 10% culling strategy. "They don't want union workers because they like to fire 10% of the workforce every few years" would result in most people drawing completely different conclusions.
If they're at all afraid of retribution via your computer, notification via email would be impossible - you can only get the email if you still have computer access.
You might be paying taxes and fees to license them but you could well have paid nothing to that city. I can drive through your city (unless you have tolls or entry passes, but the vast majority of cities don't have those). I can just use your streets for free.
First we need a self-sufficient Antarctic colony. Any takers?
No real OS but I use an iPad pro 11, mostly because it never fails to work (including it’s excellent battery life and fast charging). For a real OS; I am still looking; I found the surface pro annoying after a while (and the one I had had miserable battery life). For now only intentionally hampered devices work for me in commute; either too small (Pocket or Pandora) or limited OS (Android/iOS). All other I tried are either too big or crap battery life; even the big winners like Lenovo X* or T* or macbook pro really do not have more than a few hour battery for my workflow.
Psychologically, if you don't know if you're affected yet the odds feel like 50/50.
I've heard this argument before too that Bird is a private, for-profit company. The company itself isn't riding around on the scooters, real people are riding them to solve real transportation needs. I don't see why it matters what kind of payment plan they're on for their transportation. Should leased cars not be allowed on the road either?

Not sure where to start about taxes, but for one thing we came pretty close to repealing the gas tax in CA a few months ago so that doesn't seem to be a necessary condition. And some people just happen to pay almost no property tax at all because they got here first (prop 13) but they still get access to all the same schools and fire and police services. Taxes are paid by the public at large, to benefit the public at large, you're not paying for the specific services you're using when you pay taxes. In fact it's exactly the opposite, these things are public goods.

In addition as other comments mentioned, the scooter companies are paying registration fees and taxes. At least in some cities, and I'm sure if they stick around it'll soon be in all cities.
Any reason that you can share? This looks great, so much better than confluence, but it’s hard to store all of this on someone else’s servers. I’d love to have a self hosted version, of you ever decide to.
Depends on management style. Stack ranking companies, which used to include MS and GE) would fire 10% (theoretically the bottom 10%) every year. It's no longer fashionable, but there are probably some that still do this more or less.

Musk does seem to believe in occasionally "trimming the fat" when the numbers get tight. SpaceX did this exact thing in 2014, and Tesla has done it recently (and is now back over the headcount post-layoffs).
You can argue that, but you can't just go around stealing things that are sitting on the street or sidewalk. Can you take the doormat outside a door on a building? Or take a sign on the sidewalk? No. Take a sign that the city has left just screwed into a metal pole?
Employees get cash, which has the lowest risk of the three players (no cash for founders, cash loss for a VC).

You reduce VC earnings by having more VC competition.
You increase founder earnings by having more VC competition as well. Also by providing a better environment for success (that VC's provide, like it or not)
You increaes employee payout by the number of competing startups for talent-> more VC and more founders better deals for employees.

There are things that tip the scales amongst the players, but its not true employees lose out as a whole: the majority of minted millionaires in this game are employees, not founders. Even more than VC's. VC's meanwhile have not great returns as an entire industry. And in the founders game, most lose out with detrmient to health, status, or family fortunes.

PICO-8 limits the textual size of your input Lua file, so I'd imagine that it might be possible to squeeze more content into your game with a small interpreter and packed binary format represented as a printable string.

State routes? You probably are driving on a state route to/from that city. Also, cities can get funding from the state for road projects, so they do get access to this pool of money.
I think most people replying haven't shopped for appliances in the past 5 years. For example, you have to choose the most basic HVAC system these days to avoid communicating systems with built in smart controls. A fair number of fridges now come with integrated screens. A lot of new homes come with ring door bells and smart security systems. Even washing machines and driers now have built in systems for notifying you when your clothes are done and other such things.

Pedantics would say "well just don't buy this IOT crap," but the problem is that only the bottom line devices come this way in a lot of cases.
I think it's just refocusing on Starlink. Their hoped for capital raise was only half subscribed.
My employer has done the same. They have done more than one round of layoffs, and it's always the same - you get called into a 1-on-1 meeting, and you never return to your desk.

The problem with chromecast audio is that pretty much nothing supported chromecast audio. Anything you would potentially use with audio you'd be better off running through a regular chromecast (including spotify which only worked on audio with a premium account, free accounts work on regular chromecast normally and you could always push the web player from chrome).

I don't understand who this was supposed to be marketed to. Chromecast users probably already have a good sound setup on their TV. Audiophiles aren't going to buy it since it only had a 3.5mm jack on it. Anyone else is just going to use bluetooth whatever.

I get why they made it. I also get why it failed.
I guess the founders and employees at Patreon just don’t care for making life easier for white supremacists and the like.
The SoCal aerospace job market is hot right now. The driver is multiple large program starts at multiple contractors who are competing for people. This should make it possible for everyone to land on their feet. (I've reached out to my former colleagues who left to join Space X)

What's odd is why SpaceX is cutting staff with the new development underway on the larger rockets and the satellite business. I'm curious about how they're going to increase development while cutting staff. The big aero firms have room for improvement on productivity. But SpaceX has been lean from the start. I wonder how they'll get more out of an already highly productive team. That'd be something to learn from.
> No. You have to trust all the CAs, and the governments that control the DNS.

Not in DNSSEC. .xxx need only trust dnsroot. yyy.xxx need only trust .yyy and dnsroot.

firefox/chrome/etc with support from important orgs with high value names (google.com/bankofamerica.com/etc) would then make sure that dnsroot/.com/etc do not abuse the trust. They have incentive and methods of punishment. There is no legal authority that clients need to map DNS . to existing root keys. A client can map a.b.c to any key it wants.

The risk of gov overreach is same for both tls and DNSSEC. DNSSEC just trusts fewer entities. The only people who benefit from current system, are CAs who are getting $$$ for nothing.

This is orthogonal. Weak Keys are not required or implied characterstic of DNSSEC.
