It doesn't.

Also the solution to weak DH is certainly not qkd. It's not using DH with weak parameters.
This is definitely missing a lot of protections for both sides.

An interesting story.

I have a standard contract I usually use with startups etc. that is written to be fair to both parties and vetted by multiple attorneys. One that I worked with insisted that I use theirs. When I went through it, it was clear that they took it from a template and there were numerous holes in it that I pushed back on. They stated that all of their other contractors used it successfully and I replied that these people must not have read the contract.

It was at that point that I pointed out that the jurisdiction, "Orange County Georgia" does not exist (they had obviously copied it from a California template or contract) among other things. Against my better judgement I re-wrote their contract and used it. They ended up being a major pain in the ass client that was really bad at basic communication. IE: would not answer direct questions in writing with yes or no answers.

Contract negotiations are often a sign of things to come with the rest of the engagement.

Yes, but the HP-42 is mostly valuable for nostalgic value, later models were significantly enhanced. As an example, unit conversions (basically, convert between every unit known to man) is something I use every day. It takes about 6 keystrokes to convert from anything to pretty much anything on a HP-50G.

The point is to make wild claims about a future Quantum Internet, which then leads to large amounts of research funding. It's very successful in achieving that.
This article talks about newer technologies being "more efficient" in terms of the brine they produce, by which they seem to mean that you get more fresh water with less brine production.

How is this possible? Your input has a certain amount of salt and water in it, right? How do you take out the same amount of water, but leave less salt behind? Am I missing something?
Ok. For that, I think it would be apt for scp to somehow quote the filename when it contains a non-printable character, escaping the non-printable characters, thereby avoiding their interpretation as ANSI codes.

In fact now that I read your comment again, there's virtually not a single statement I can agree with.

Our current way of "householding" ("economy (from Greek οίκος – "household" and νέμoμαι – "manage")") with this planet is thrashing ecosystems left and right. This is because mankind's economy has long taken on a life of its own, serving itself, without anyone pricing in "negative externalities" (another way of saying we're turning Earth into a Wall-E-esque dystopia, except we're not going to have a big space station to live on).
With Apple pushing privacy as a major feature of iOS compared to alternatives, if the company continues taking a consumer focused, privacy respecting approach acquiring DDG could help strengthen branding, and maybe bring together an integrated privacy solution competing with Google’s integrated ad solution.

>> What are we doing to this planet? What will it become?

The tragedy of the commons: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tragedy_of_the_commons

Technically, the planet is doomed. Practically and pragmatically, everyone who is living here today, has a good chance to enjoy his days, no matter what will happen next.

I'm not advocating the way we destroy our planet, just trying to accept facts without emotional barrier. Could be wrong here.
The human extinction argument is more or less a strawman. People are instead arguing that our advanced civilization will collapse. Which is pretty plausible if food shortages lead to famines, war, nuclear exchanges etc.

As for monarchs, this is just a number we can see well because people track it. They're nice in and of themselves, but also a marker of wider changes. For example, insect populations seem to be collapsing even in nature reserves, and with them, birds.

This causes both short run and near run problems. Short run is that our own food systems may not survive a mass extinction well. Crop yields are expected to decline markedly with increasing temperatures, and necessary pollinators may vanish. Likewise, the oceans may stop producing fish for us to eat in the quantities we do now.

It also presages trouble for humans. For example, sugarcane workers in the tropics are now suffering acute kidney failure due to chronic dehydration despite drinking water. The operating temperatures are too hot for outdoor work that used to be possible. With more heat, more areas will pose risks for human habitation.

In the longer run, each species loss is irreplaceable. Imagine we make it through this and in 100 years we are exploring the universe and have sustainable energy sources. But we destroyed as much of our species as past comet and extinctions did.

I think our descendants will be rather mad at us. In those species will be much lost potential for scientific and medical uses. To say nothing of the joy of nature or anything else. Gone forever so that 1-2 generations could live a certain way.

More than half of all human co2 has been emitted in the past 30 years. We're destroying the work of millions of years of evolution for a brief spurt.
Well, Under the Net, mentioned in the review, was her first novel. I thought it was pretty good.
I think they meant more along the lines of

Or even

"We should take half of the 1,549,600 square kilometers of permanent cropland"

I haven't explored more of the popular avenues for this though, things like "if the mouse moves to close the tab, show a pop up asking for a signup". It might convert but it's not something I'm comfortable doing at this point.

I think the point is that China is exploiting the same system that other countries created and started exploiting prior, but it is doing so on a larger scale and to a more obvious degree than the others. That is to say, yes, it's a problem, but let's take a look at all the other instances of this type of behavior, so we can work toward a general solution, rather than just saying 'fuck china!'.
I wish it was only contractors. I've seen my fair share of startups over the years that were nothing but. And heck, I'm no agile specialist by any stretch, and I'm often first to point out how god awful it's being implemented in practice. But the one thing I grokked about it is that if you're not talking to end-users each sprint you're not agile plain and simple.

(And agreed these are good questions for would-be employers. But if you do ask them and refuse to work in a non-agile shop, you'll find precious little outfits to work for.)

Certainly they haven't conquered the auto market - it's huge. I don't think anyone has made that argument, though.

Your article is nearly two years old, though; 2018 was a very different year for EVs because of the Model 3. Here's some actual sales data for you: https://insideevs.com/monthly-plug-in-sales-scorecard/

The Model 3 accounted for 38% of all EV or hybrid vehicles sold in the US in 2018 and 60% of all BEV vehicles. Tesla's 3 vehicles accounted for over 50% of all EV/hybrid sales, and 82% of all BEV sales in the US in 2018. How you can look at that and conclude that they aren't the leader in that space is beyond me.
Do these far reaching use-cases matter in practice?

> ... written contracts can have "bugs" just as smart contracts can.

The onus on smart contracts is to come up with use cases where they are superior to written contract, not to find examples where they are equally flawed.
Humanity on Earth is doomed, the planet will be fine.
Let's be magnanimous and say that the outcome of contract disputes is nondeterministic, and might take into account such factors as the relative powers of the parties, who drafted the contact's provisions, interpretation of judicial precedent, matters of public interest, grammar, etc.
Right, but the bugs in written contracts can be negotiated in litigation
At the same time I think we have the capability to care about other species and hubris to believe we can shape our existence. So I want to change our ecosystem to do less damage to the current biosphere.

I dont see why this was needed - it is a regression in terms of usability and performance (loading performance - cant comment on quality of the maps just yet, but I understand from others that the map data is woeful).

Really disappointed. I used to recommend DDG to everyone, but this feels like a sell-out - without any justification for why they've done it, my mind just leaps to conclusions about marketing and trying to get "cool points".
Thanks for your reply. Would be really helpful if you can share the following:

1. Size of the CloudKit cluster and the number of RecordLayer instances. A ratio would also be enough to get an approx. idea.

2. How metadata changes involving field data type are being handled?

3. How are relationships and therefore, foreign keys handled? Are any referential actions like cascading deletes supported?
Are there any community guidelines around linking to sources when making claims about what a party might have said? On that very page is the claim:

> US officials have said Canadians may be banned for life from entering the US for legally smoking it, or for working for or investing in the legal companies involved.

Which may very well be true, but cannot be verified without a source.
> a company that clearly communicates to potential investors and the market as a whole that they have a different metric of shareholder value (e.g. social conscience

You're talking about things like Ben & Jerry's social contract. I think those are great. But here I'm talking about values like "We want to make money by making great widgets people are happy to buy". Most companies say such things, but after they go public the value seem switch to "find every way to increase the margins and take the lowest thresholds of quality and customer satisfaction that we can have and still remain in business". Compare, say, what Comcast says about customer service and what customers say.

The ideal of capitalism is that you can have profit AND happy customers. And I know it's possible, I've seen it any number of products...but I also see tons of successful companies get "killed" by short term greed, even if that company sticks around and is profitable - compared to what it was, it is dead.
>Who knows what dns provider is being sent from DHCP.

What's the concern here? That it's set to some DNS provider that does evil things? If they intercept DNS requests (not unusual as even my home router can do that), this migitation is useless and you're sending your DNS requests to a third party.
How else are you going to catch APT (Advanced Persistent Threat) data exfiltration/control channel traffic?

Assumption 1: Machines on your network are already compromised and fully owned by a sophisticated and extremely difficult to detect rootkit. This is true of every large business. There is always that guy who will click on any link or open the document from what appears to be their co-worker.

Assumption 2: APT tries to disguise their traffic as ordinary web traffic, because anything else is suspicious.

Assumption 3: You have massive legal liabilities if your data is exfiltrated.

Being able to do DPI and pattern matching on all TLS traffic (and firewall off anything you can't DPI) is pretty much mandatory.
+1 - acquisition by a FAANG would be a instant turn-off for someone like me. I value its independence.
Your account is 6 years old; I assumed you're familiar with how people link previous discussions on here and didn't need to be "instruct[ed]."

IANAL either, but if you go to a lawyer (as a freelancer/contractor) for a contract they're basically going to take one off the shelf and hand it to you. They might change one or two lines to be specific to the type of work you do, or run it through a couple if-else conditions that aren't relevant to everybody. But in the few times I've dealt with contracts the boilerplate percentage was well above your 90% mark.

It's a good idea, but facebook can't be trusted.

https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2018/dec/13/they-dont...

>Journalists paid to help fix Facebook’s fake news problem say they have lost trust in the platform

>“They’ve essentially used us for crisis PR,” said Brooke Binkowski, former managing editor of Snopes, a factchecking site that has partnered with Facebook for two years. “They’re not taking anything seriously. They are more interested in making themselves look good and passing the buck … They clearly don’t care.”
I think that's dependent on language culture. Because the C++ community doesn't take language simplicity or comprehensibility seriously, there are lots of C++ developers who can't use or reason about surprisingly large parts of the language. So the community has rallied around the notion that "library" developers need to understand everything and that most developers will just glue together bits that the library devs made.

I mean, how many C++ developers actually write serious template code? How many of them could reliably explain what the keywords in post do?

The idea that every developer is a library author (or the lisp extension that every developer is a language author) is common in many other language communities but it relies on the community working hard to make mastery of the language feasible for lots of people. The C++ community never bought into that notion; they inherited a very stratified class structure from Bell Labs.
There are enterprise contract management systems that do this kind of stuff.
The "and" is critical in that statement.
I'm not saying that it doesn't matter or that no one will care. But if you think that the average American is going to stop eating meat and buy an electric car so that we have more butterflies....we know different Americans. I just think we can tell a better story about why people should care, other than "we don't know what will happen" or "butterflies are pretty" or "it took a long time to evolve this". Not saying that's all you're saying, but I see a lot of articles and comments that fail to explain why people should accept a lot of personal inconvenience right now for the sake of the biosphere someday.
I've seen articles like this posted elsewhere and I've also seen scientist chime in and be critical of the numbers posted, showing problems with the methodology. I'm surprised I can't find many threads talking about the actual data in this post.

I'm working for a large defense contractor.

And that's exactly what's different in D, where the audience for meta-programming is "everyone". It's not just about more power, but how accessible this power is. To think you need to suffer to have this power is not true.
> the people claiming that humans will be extinct in 50 years because of climate change are completely out of their minds. It sounds like a religious argument to me, not one based on the science. Humans are cockroaches; we're not going anywhere unless an asteroid hits the earth.

If the clathrate gun goes off, that's an asteroid-level extinction event. It doesn't look super likely at this point, but we simply don't know enough to be sure.

I think this formulation is a bit more accurate:

1. Mention an obscure irritant that is superficially not the EU's fault, and blame the EU for it

2. EU supporters pile on and say that this is what all anti-EU arguments are like

3. When examined in more detail, the irritant actually IS the EU's fault

4. People then accept #2 as true, and hate the EU more (since apparently if they examined all the obvious BS about the EU more closely, they'd find it to be true)
