It's remarkable how much attention is given to the quantity of the desirable Sun exposure, and how little thought is spent on the quality of the light.

Absent sunscreen the UV-heavy mid-day Sun in the tropics gives me a sunburn in 15 minutes, while a morning exposure at the same locale remains perfectly safe for all the three hours that the morning lasts. The turning point is when the Sun crosses 45% boundary (when a match stuck in the sand becomes taller than its shadow), so my schedule is beach-time 6-9am and 3-6pm, while the rest of the time is spent sleeping, eating, working, and sightseeing.

I wish I could sell you some dietary supplement with this fantastic advice, but none is needed. Well, maybe a branded box of matches is in order?..
Any operating system worth its salt will save the changed address and reload it before/while bringing up the network drivers. It's often necessary to do this in order to connect to certain networks, so it'd be super annoying if you'd have to remember the address and type it in every time.
I use Trello boards for various aspects of my life (personal, tech, etc), each with five lists:

* Ideas - stuff that I might want to do in the future(lots of random items on here).

* To-Do - things that I actually want to do soon.

* In progress - things actually being worked on.

* Review - things that are mostly finished but need final tidy up.

* Completed - done and dusted!

I arrange the order of the cards from highest priority to lowest priority. And I don't start working on anything new without making sure it's on the board and prioritised accordingly.

At a previous organizion I worked at, about 5-7 years ago, I made very heavy use of Tokyo Tyrant and T. Cabinet (the predecessors of Kyoto Tycoon and KC). We had many instances throughout our infrastructure, and many engineers had at least some knowledge of it.

It was the fastest key-value store I'd ever used. I was floored by its speed and relative stability.

And the article and comments rightly point out KT's terrible documentation and thin user community on the ground. TT was just the same. This caused a lot of surprising (and mostly undocumented) issues whenever somebody was trying to get onboarded.

I was surprised that it was so obscure and so undocumented. Especially considering its speed and simplicity (in terms of getting a basic k-v store set up).

I depended a lot on DBA's and DB engineers, our sysadmins, and other engineers with more experience of TT than I had. Usually, whenever I needed to understand a configuration option in detail, deploy a new instance with different characteristics, or optimize an existing instance, I would consult them. I think we had just as much, if not, more, knowledge of this software than any community on the Internet.

But all of this raw speed, at the cost of lack of support, lack of documentation or community bit us in the ass, hard. Either the TT/TC service itself crashed, or the host it was running on crashed (I can't remember).

Some data was lost because it was designed with no fault tolerance. Most data was recovered from backups. An executive decision was immediately made to move to a different DB, with proper resilience, etc. We quickly moved to a well known, open source, commercially supported system with all the usual value-added proprietary parts.

Then the $$$$$ started pouring in to the support contract. At least we had something trustworthy that we could understand, lots of documentation, and good upstream support engineers :-)

It's a bit sad to imagine what could have become of TT/TC. I've no idea about KT/KC. They had a LOT of potential. Maybe the potential is still there? Maybe they're project deserve resurrection, at least for educational purposes?

At least the source code still exists if anybody is interested enough. Documentation generally consists of reading struct definitions and comments; a couple of decent StackOverflow posts; and now-mostly defunct mailing lists on Google Groups.
Is this because everybody is expecting a "breakthrough" in battery tech, thus dooming a big investment in lithium-ion plants?

I keep seeing stories about solid-state batteries, but I don't have a feeling if they really are close to being production-ready.
Your claim was that Google would "kill the CA you got it from" if somebody obtains a certificate for the name GOOGLE.COM and that they'd need to "turn the timer on your iPhone on so we can measure how long it takes" with "no notification".

I've explained this is ludicrously far from reality, spelling everything out so that people can see this imaginary lightning fast reaction doesn't exist. Would the GOOGLE.COM certificate itself get revoked? Yeah, probably. Might even happen the same day if you're lucky.

Would anything at all happen to the CA, ever? Probably not, though it would depend on what exactly the sequence of events was. If it did, as we saw with Symantec it would take months to decide what that should be, and it's very unlikely to be a complete distrust.

Your scenario is something that belongs in a thriller, I gave a nice example where a Vernor Vinge novel does almost exactly this, in a fictional future California, and I explained that er, no, that's not how it works. You are welcome to keep living in a dream world, but if you're going to threaten people with imaginary consequences for doing things you don't like, maybe say you'll launch a fireball at them with your mind or something so nobody thinks you're talking about the real world.
To expand on this point, when you hear layoffs you probably immediately think about the engineers given the demographic of this site and how you wouldn't working for a company like this. However, layoffs have a tendency to hit sales and production harder than the technical team. Production and sales usually outnumber engineers to begin with and has a higher turnover rate due to the nature of the work.

From the information I could find. A single hotplate draws as much power as a straightening iron, a portable heater, a toaster or a coffee maker. A mini fridge draws much less. A slow cooker, also a viable food preparation option, draws less than all of those even.
Reminds me of one of my favorite urban animal experiences. There was a squirrel atop a nearby wall, and I had a little bit of trouble resolving its outline. It was holding onto the rear half of another squirrel, so the body outline was all confused. Processing further, I see that my little friend had a very bloody face. After we make momentary eye contact, it nonchalantly goes back to eating its lunch.

Squirrels are so cute! Who doesn't love eating cute animals? Even cute animals agree!

"So yes do use sunscreen in moderation but don’t avoid the sun."

I find it to be much simpler, faster and aesthetically pleasing to just wear a hat and a very lightweight long-sleeved shirt.

Same for the kids. Assuming you're concerned about sun exposure (we're not) it's much easier to hand them a long-sleeved swimshirt (rashguard) than lather their entire bodies up with sunblock ...

>For example, if you were able to identify the MAC address, and you were unethical, you could just blackmail the "bomber" - whether they are innocent or not.

Didn't something along the lines of this happen with this with the Boston bombing and /r/, where they named the wrong - and innocent - person?

>Also, some devices allow you to reprogram the MAC address so you could in theory use this to blackmail someone as well, or at least get them harassed by the police.

According to IEEE[1], that MAC belongs to a Morotola Mobility, LLC. (a Lenovo Company) device. If anyone had a device in the F8E079 family, they would be - rightfully - shitting bricks, right now, for being correlated with it.

So, to summarise: No, I don't think anything good (initially) will come of this.

Also, it's a family included in macchanger, so that makes it ever-more probable that the mac address has - at some point - been used by someone else.

Excellent article. Kudos to the authors. I look forward to digging into your references.

This would be a great primer for young developers to get a good overview of of programing paradigms and modern OS language evolution over the last 25 years. I will be sending this along to all my peers.

Also, I am impressed with .NET and Microsoft's embrace of OpenSource. I am one of those developers who got stung by Microsoft in their earlier days when they were the true Evilcorp and now they really seem to be less evil with this embrace.

I will actually consider using F# for my future projects, but of course as long as it runs 100% on *Nix platforms.
>"Any proposed solution that relies on mass lifestyle overhauls is a non-starter"

Too bad, because that is what we actually must do, in order to halt this disaster.

The scale of our problems cannot be overstated, humanity is genuinely capital-F Fucked, unless we make drastic changes. We can't just coast along and hope for the best anymore.

With the scale of what we're facing, we need big changes like moving to collective living rather than single-family housing, and scaling down our consumption drastically. We need to start sharing everything on a massive scale, instead of insisting on everyone having their own personal collection of junk that just sits unused 99% of the time.

We need to stop shipping junk literally around the world for profit margins. We need to stop buying so much stuff to fill the emptiness in our lives. We need to cool off the incessant bull-headed drive for every bigger profits, ever more growth. We need to either put the brakes on capitalism itself, or kill it entirely.

All of this is of course heresy of the worst kind to capitalists and other profiteers. And since these people sit on the majority of capital and basically own our politicians outright, it's one hell of an uphill battle. They would literally rather doom humanity than take the necessary steps to save us.

You can write me off as a doomsayer or idealist, but simply put, the odds are that if humanity still exists by 2100, it will look massively different from today's societies, because we took the necessary steps to save ourselves.

The culture of sharing anonymously and/or openly how ‘customers’ make ‘employees’ feel. In this case, it’s teachers and students. There are other examples like servers/diners, doctors/patients etc.

Firstly, it is not verifiable.

Secondly, it’s spoken ‘behind the back’.

Thirdly, they are talking about children. (In this case)

Fourthly, it seems like majority of teachers..especially young ones don’t like what they do.

Fifthly, I think the way schools are being run.. the teaching methods should die.

Sixthly, it’s like having cooks who hate to cook for you. One day, they will spit on your plate. It’s a given.

You need to rig this up to an actuator. There are lots of things you could do with that.

You could detect when a machine pistol is getting uncontrollable muzzle rise, then stop it until the trigger is released and reapplied.

You could hold off firing until the gun is stable. When the trigger is pulled, look for smooth movement. (no angular acceleration, and the regular acceleration has a stable magnitude equal to gravitational acceleration) The motion for leading a duck is fine, but the motion of stumbling and getting snagged on bushes is not.

You could disable the gun if acceleration goes to zero, for example by being dropped. After half a second of stable gravitational acceleration, reenable the gun.

Probably not. By the time it gets to a courtroom they'll almost certainly have a lot more than just MAC addresses, so while the bomber might plead "some jackass spoofed my MAC address to frame me", that wouldn't explain his purchase history, the explosives residue around his home and clothing, etc.

A MAC address doesn't prove anything, but courtrooms aren't about proof. They're evidence, not proof, and enough evidence is all the German prosecution should need to have a relatively easy time in court.
They have seen a serious pay cut since the Motor Carrier Act of 1980, however 70% is a big exaggeration. That would imply the typical trucker was earning the equivalent of $135,000 per year in 1975 based on today's BLS numbers. And if it were accurate, I'm not sure how anyone could think that would be sustainable across a field flooded with 1.7 million drivers. With the pay decrease, there are dramatically more drivers today than in 1975 after adjusting for population growth. It's now providing a lot more jobs at a lower pay. The reason wages dropped was due to increased competition and deregulation, the value of their services declined. The reason wages were so high before was due to artificial labor scarcity and price controls via a cartel system (which Jimmy Carter fixed when he signed the MCA bill), ie it was fake.

Business Insider covered this extensively, they found the typical trucker has seen a 21% pay cut since 1980 in real terms -

"Business Insider compared freight wages, adjusted for inflation, from the BLS 1980 area wage survey and location-specific wage estimates from the BLS' Occupational Employment Statistics. For the five cities in which comparable data existed in both surveys, wages decreased by 21%, on average."

It's easy -- you build a lifestyle business or you build a big, usually scalable, business. If you are building a lifestyle business, VCs most probably even won't give you money. To grow one needs money. If you are building a big business the options are to take money as a credit or get VC money. Usually, banks do not credit those risky assets. So, the solution is obvious.

Another thing -- for a lifestyle business it's just very hard to hire anybody good without options that have no chances to be executed. Also, a good business model without aggressive growth could be copied easily by a big company that targets the same audience. Yeah, it's difficult to build a Basecamp. There are just so many examples that managed to do that. Even Atlassian took VC money at some point to be able to secure stability for the team.

So, there is no sense in the article. If founders were clueless enough not to understand what they get into by taking VC money, maybe they deserve the results.

It's important to understand from the get-go that VC money is just a tool that serves a very particular goal. If one does not target that goal, not need to get the money.

Then it gets to be an issue with cost and convenience, as hauling around both systems with lancet device and strips and insulin and syringes and glucose tablets is a nuisance for anyone who does not carry a purse. Test strips cost around a dollar each (if one eschews the likes of Walmart), and it is very difficult to get Medicare to pay for more than 3 per day. I do not know if they will pay for any now that they are paying the higher monthly cost of the libre sensors.
You analogy makes no sense to me.

> On the other hand, it does show that a voluntarily purely vegetarian diet is an artificial human creation.

That's an odd comparison. For the hare, if the choice is "starve in the middle of winter" or "eat meat", it's not surprising they eat meat. I think to say that a "voluntarily purely vegetarian diet is a purely human creation" is true not because of the vegetarian part, but because of the "voluntary" part. Most humans have the luxury of being able to choose a large part of their diets, while many wild animals are usually in a constant state of semi-starvation.

You should be charitable to the creators of venn diagrams and the countless and diverse group of people who've found them useful for years. For instance, it obviously stands to reason that these sort of visual cheat-sheets are aimed primarily at novices, not experienced/professional DBAs.

Should we critique "lefty loosey righty tighty" because a professional mechanic knows that's not precisely true and should be able to analyze the context of the screw to determine whether it's left or right handed? Of course not, that mnemonic is for novices, not professional mechanics.
