It is not just about visualizing but also the choice of visuals. One of the things that Harry Lorayne stresses on, is to visualize something out of the ordinary, so crazy that it sticks out in the memory (for e.g, to remember a sequence of man and pencil, imagine a man with pencil sticking out his head or a pencil walking like a man on the street). The second best option is to imagine something sensory, tactile or olfactory or anything visceral. Mundane items or events are the ones most likely to escape our complete attention and consequently slip through our memory. Truth is that the attention is the most important bit of memorizing. More often than not the act of processing the information registers it much more effectively than any of these details. Try it for yourself, you will be surprised.
The depressing thing about all this is that it is getting harder to opt-out of being surveiled.

Even if you ditch your phone and computers, there are still way to track you.

Just look at some of the crazy stuff happening in retail where facial recognition is used in some stores and malls to track where you go and what you look at in order to manipulate you in to buying more. It may be niche right now, but as the tech develops and gets cheaper it's use will become more widespread.

This sounds like the most plausible scenario in which this bug can cause havoc. Even if the web server is quickly restored to its original state, any user who happened to connect at the wrong time may still have a compromised PC.

And you may not even notice that the web server has been compromised until compromised PCs start acting up.

An interactive serial sci-fi book with info-sec challenges
There are e.g. 780W single units out there. Basically a PSU in a more convenient box. A little easier to pack up.
The standard for this exists, it is named ITSO. You will not be surprised to learn that although many local transport systems issue cards with ITSO logos they don't actually interoperate in a useful fashion since different local authorities and operators have contradictory requirements.

For example in Bingley (Yorkshire) where my mother lives, and in Southampton (on the South Coast) where I live, the buses use ITSO smartcards. But you can't take a ride on her bus with my smartcard.

Contactless bank cards do work on both systems though, and on the London transport network. So "Use a credit card" ends up being the "one physical token" solution.

My opinion is that we could think about an infinite amount of factors to consider if we had to do a completely rational analysis for each choice we make. In practice, we can't, and I think nobody could.
About chimneys: Up til the 1950s, coal was used in fireplaces and there was one chimney per room, plus maybe an extra chimney for a kitchen range[1]. This abruptly changed in the 1960s with central heating, so houses would be built without a central chimney stack at all and with just a single boiler flue often through a side wall or at the side of the roof. So you can fairly reliably date houses to "before 1960s" or "after 1960s" by looking for a chimney stack, and if there is a chimney stack you can count the number of original rooms by counting the chimneys.

[1] Our house has 4 rooms and 5 chimneys and that's the best explanation I have. Our house also has a boiler flue fitted much later - made from asbestos!
I too am surprised at all the positive comments about London.

Perhaps it is a nicer city than many American cities, but it is not really that pleasant a city to live in. Most people are only here because of work, not because it is a great place to live in.
What you're missing is very simple: downloading files from a server need not imply that you trust the server even slightly. That's true whether you're downloading them via HTTPS (e.g. to view this web page) or via SCP.

Many of us have jobs in which we typically only use SSH to connect to servers that we trust and control. But that assumption is no more baked into the security model of SSH than it is into the security model of HTTPS. The argument that "you trusted this server enough to connect to it and download a file, therefore you clearly should trust it enough to permit it to execute arbitrary executables on your machine" is false in both cases.

Agree on the bad planning issue. We should've planned for the long wait we would need to see the actual funnel changes. The issue is about our purchase cycle. It's a long one: on average, it takes users about 182 days to become paid, while the median is 23 days.

I once had the exhaust pipe before my catalytic converter on my car fall out due to a bump and some rust that had been building up. My car suddenly became very very loud, louder than I had ever realized it could be. I was quite embarrassed while driving the car home, and soon got it fixed. It wasn't especially expensive to fix. If that happened in California I might get a $1000 ticket? Or is the large ticket only for intentionally loud and illegal exhausts.
Quite the contrary in mine. Dissatisfaction with “tax money waste” correlates with the amount of tax they pay.

Brexit has done a lot of damage, at least in EU countries (and not in all circles), to the image of British people as reasonable, realiable, level-headed fellows.

But apart from that, I'm not sure what bad press you get?
The announcement begins by referring to different versions (nightly, beta, stable, etc.) of Firefox as "installations", and then switches to "versions" halfway through. I was momentarily confused because it seems to suggest that every time Firefox updates itself, e.g. from 67 to 68, it will use a different profile.

Which it most likely won't, but one cannot be entirely sure about that assumption in a world where software updates frequently reset user settings to vendor-preferred defaults without asking.

The fact that nightly, beta, and stable really are different "versions" of Firefox (current beta becomes the next stable) makes the terminology even more confusing :(
Winding Road to Quantum Computing ROI, Competition
I tried NixOS a few years ago when they talked about better UX for the CLI. Anyone know if this happend?
I see the same problem with many products nowadays. There is a whole part of the economy following this and I wonder how so many users can cope with it.

Examples:
- Adobe (PS, ID, AI,...) all cloud + subscription model since CS6 is gone
- Music (Spotify & Co)
- Movies/Series (Netflix, Amazon,...)

And there is many more not only focused on software products. That is why I pirate stuff first and then try to buy something that offers value to me (like vinyl from bands I like to hear) while supporting the real minds behind the work (I don't like companies just (ab)using their power for profit like amzn without delivering real value themselves).
Well, why not write them down for us?!
That wouldn't make that much sense at that number given that such a large percentage of recent chips have been good enough to make it to 5.0 ghz+ according to these statistics recorded by Silicon Lottery: https://siliconlottery.com/pages/statistics -- no stats for i9-9990XE but there's enough to get an idea.

It wouldn't be that shocking if delays keep hitting on the new product line that they just skim the top 30% of chips and call it a "new" product though, which would be both really funny and almost immediately noticed. But overall this kind of thing is inevitable given the giant difference between what these kinds of processors run at stock and what people who are eager to buy a top of the line processor are actually going to want to run it at.

You don't need credit to have a contactless debit card, they're just locked down to require online transactions so that it's impossible to go overdrawn. In normal operation a TfL gate is online (ie able to talk to your card issuer) so it can work with any type of card.
My application is a code beautifier that receives code samples as input. I cannot know of every possible combination of code samples. This does not necessarily mean the application is defective. A defective state is unwanted output.

Another way to think about this is that the more open a system is the more useful and risky it is. It is useful because it can do more while tolerating less terse requirements upon the user. It increases risk because there is more to test and less certainty the user will get what they want. Part of that risk is that its hard to guess at what users want as sometimes the users aren't even sure of what they want.
They may not be able to do "Embrace, extend, extinguish" in the exact same way with their open-source efforts, but that doesn't mean they would not be able to apply leverage given sufficient market share.

Imagine if VSCode becomes the defacto code editor. Then they add seamless integration with GitHub, including value-added features which are not available from other providers like gitlab. Developers accept it because everyone uses GitHub anyway. Then they add features to GitHub to integrate seamlessly with Azure, and bug tickets related to GitHub plugins for interop with AWS start to take longer and longer to be resolved. Then maybe one day they change the terms of service, and it's no longer allowed to develop GitHub plugins which compete with Azure. Then they release an update to VSCode which uses deep learning for code completion. On Windows it uses a new DX12-powered subsystem which makes it fast and responsive, while on Mac and Linux it falls back to a single-threaded solution which makes the whole application feel laggy.

In a scenario like that, it would be in principal possible to fork VSCode and make a more platorm-agnostic version, but how realistic is it that an individual, or even a small team will be able to keep up with a large corporation which seeks to make such an effort less successful.

Open source software is great, but if Microsoft owns the governance of those projects, and the up-streams and down-streams, they still have a lot of power over them.

> I think the reason for this is that our brains just generally don't operate on a rational basis because it's not practical for humans.

Not meaning to pick on you, but this line of reasoning is ultimately self-refuting.

If we're not capable of operating on a rational basis, then the belief that "we're not capable of operating on a rational basis" is itself irrational and therefore shouldn't be believed.

Since this is self-refuting it must not be true and therefore we must be capable of operating rationally.
>Those writers had more time to think about this stuff than most science labs and engineering teams imho.

No, they didn't. They came up with transporters to save money not having effects shots of ships taking off and landing, and replicators are basically the same, a prop meant to save a bit of money while looking "futuristic". Replicators and transporters violate physics (thermodynamics, the uncertainty principle, E=MC^2) and cannot exist as depicted in Star Trek. They spent zero time working out the science because they're television writers, not scientists.

The best you could do in the real world is 3D printers and fabbers. But directly converting energy into complex physical structures in a way that isn't insanely less efficient than physical manufacturing or agriculture? No.
"Rationalism" is an ideology$. It elevates ideas arrived at by rational arguments to a special status. Other sources of knowledge, such as empirical knowledge, culture and tradition as well as biological instincts and gut feelings are often disregarded by rationalists which can potentially
prevent the adherents from reaching their goals.

"Rational" is also a word that can be used for rhetorical purposes. If one claims that something is "rational", it is often specifically because it is not obvious to the audience that it IS rational. The claim is an attempt to influence the listener to believe the truthfulness of the something.

Similarly to when people say "trust me", such a claim may in itself be a reason to be a bit cautious.

"Rationality" is a tool than can be wielded in many ways and for many purposes. Properly used, it is a good source to knowledge, but it needs to be combined with empirical knowledge as well as heuristical information stored in social groups and even our DNA, even when not fully understood.

Edit: $ From the definition of "Ideology", epistemology is specifically excluded. Since Rationalism deals with epistemology, it is technically excluded from the definition, as long as the Rationalism is in good faith, and not driven by ulterior motives. This distinction does not make a difference for the rest of the argument.
In an epistemology class once I said to the lecturer "I don't know anything." He said "Don't you know your name?"
Perhaps it's a bit silly, but it amused me that this line: "<a byte that contains an header>" made me ask whether the author was French. A very quick search for his name comes up with predominantly French (language, at least) results, so I'm comfortable enough leaving it at that.
I've come to believe that we'll adjust our numbers in time. That time has not come yet but it will come.

I don't think the example of checking in someone else's bug is a very good one. If I checked in something that had code from other people I would see it very easily, and if I did not think there was any way my code should have affected the autocomplete then I would assume the code I checked in which was not mine broke the autocomplete.

Matching it to the example of the papier mache cow doesn't really work because the papier mache cow hides the real cow but it is very easy to see that your code was also checked in with other people's code.
I don't understand this story at all.
They tend to trip people up fairly often too - also the blind can't rely on them being there as they're not consistently installed.

Hash out a list of real priorities in life and map that into the current situation to help out decide.

In my case, it's not pollution, it's crime and rampant corruption tho. Brazil really sucks right now and I don't know if it's enough to have a 'really good job' down here if I could earn HALF of what I earn right now in a better country and still have better quality of life.

I'm thinking that if I'm able to move to a better country I'm gonna improve my kid and wife's life as well, with better access to education and whatnot.

I just don't know if it's worth the risk of abandoning everything here right now. Even though it's shitty, it's at least "quite good" compared to my peers. If things turn out wrong I might have to come back and start all over.

o/ thanks again and have a good one
This reminds me a lot of the following xkcd comic: https://xkcd.com/1262/
Structure is opportunistic in the sense that it results from energy bleeding out from the big bang into other fields, not only quantum fields but things like position - thus we get large scale isotropy.

I followed Shrodinger's ethos to its limits and all I got was perfectly isotropic relativistic spacetime foam.

I suppose that's what our universe will eventually decay into - and then what happens is up to anyones interpretation (conformal cyclic cosmology or what have you..)

I need to implement gravity, some type of coupling that can prevent equipartition of states from happening so quickly.

In any case, nothing interesting happens in small universes by the process of evolution. Evolution requires a balance between specifity of search/selectivity and magnitude. Less specificity will require more brute force magnitude. Just like any search of a space or data struct. Silicon just doesn't have the magnitude that even a mole of molecules does. Not even in the same ballpark.

Good thing about TS is that it's currently an evolving language and if you have problems with the typing system, there's a good chance it will be improved instead of other languages where it might not pick the improvement up quickly which makes you feel like the language is at a dead end.
I think it partly comes down to what you look like and how you act on the street. Of the people I know who have had their phones snatched the common denominator was usually being too comfortable standing on a street staring at their phones. It's hard to miss kids on bikes/mopeds if you're watching for them, but if you're not and they appear then they'll go for you.
> without relying on experts

This does not fly with most complex disciplines where it takes decades to become proficient.

But relying VS not-relying on experts is a false dichotomy. You can choose experts to trust, as rationally as possible.
Cue the must-have semantic pedantic argument about "passive" not being passive and so on.

Yes we get it. Stop fussing about the terminology.
So your solution is to simply do nothing. It might offend some voters’ sense of entitlement. That things aren’t the same as they were 30 years ago.

We could do it the hard way. When ocean levels rise the coastal house market will collapse. Water will become scarce as aquifers get spoiled by salt. And climate patterns are certainly changing. Places that used to get an abundance of rain are already facing a drought. But some douchebag in a bro-dozer is certainly sticking it to the rich.

On the future of transportation in an era of automated and autonomous vehicles
No experience of Flow, and I hear all of the opponents of these "superset JavaScript" solutions who lament their inability to really tighten up the language in a way that a true static language would. However, JavaScript is clearly going nowhere anytime soon, and whilst WASM has the ability to change the state of play, I've found adopting TypeScript in general to be hugely beneficial.

It's 100% fair to point to all of the things it doesn't provide, or indeed the way that it tries to make JS out to be some classical OOP language which it's not, but it's helped me track bugs and refactor code in ways which would never have been possible without it, and for that I'm grateful. In comparison to other tools such as mypy, TypeScript is light-years ahead in its general ease of use and community support.
