When first Raspberry Pi came out 2012, I had a cheapo phone with no USB host capability. Found out however that Raspberry makes phone USB tethering connection automatically. And then if you enable FTPD and in TELNETD in Raspberry you can access it from the phone quite transparently. As an example I could now move videos and photos from the phone to USB hard disk while in the wilderness. Or use TV-dongle in Raspberry and stream it to the phone.
That's a great idea (of course, you can't let it rot).
It leads to a very practical conclusion: don't be surprised when you find out that some or all of the above data is known by third parties.
I don't mean to be dismissive of complex math, but it can be seen as an excuse by people who expect the universe to NOT make intuitive sense. Usually, powerful mathematical explanations are quite simple (Maxwell's equations, Boltzmann's, etc)
WTF. The project seems completely useless and gimmicky to me.

My problem is that I read a LOT of articles and publications. If I started highlighting things in articles, I would never have enough time to go back to them. Besides, why would I want to? I already read it, which means that it's already in my mind! What's the point of reading stuff if not to put information inside your mind? I'd rather use my time to read more new stuff than to revisit things I already know.

Maybe the solution is not more tools, it's just to stick to topics that interest you and to pay attention and put more thought into what you're reading.

Indeed. But the worst thing someone can do is leave a comment like that on Stack Overflow. Invariably, SO shows up at the top of google's search, so later people with the same question will read that and say "duh- that's how I got here."
why would they even do that?

Because they aren’t good at their job. Because they have managers that use conversation comfort zones as a criteria for decision making.

Pointy haired bosses often deliver solutions based on what sounds like an admirable position to take, or a point of view that makes them look good politically. One that sounds good in a rapid fire round table discussion, like a daily stand up, where the boss’ boss needs two sound bites from them because he’s VERY busy, and doesn’t have the time to think deeply before cocktails at lunch, and an afternoon of golf.

Q. Give me your update on the password business.

A. Very good sir, we’re making users pick strong passwords.

Q. What defines the strength of the password?

A. Well, we assign 10 requirements, to ensure the user picks something sufficiently random. More requirements is better than no requirements.

This is over the top. Even enforcing password complexity is over-rated.

For online attacks, an attacker can't even try the top 1000 passwords on for an account in any major website in reasonable time without triggering the alarm, as they all(?) have rate limiting (usually in the form of account lockdown after single-digit failed attempts).

For offline attacks, there first needs to be a breach. While they undoubtedly happen, they are very infrequent events. But once they happen, you should assume all passwords would be cracked very fast. Hackers can get their hands on a lot of computing power, and the brute-forcing attempts are not alphabetical, but rather clever how-humans-chose-passwords models. You're relatively safe because of the low frequency of breaches, not because a hacker trying trillions of passwords a second will be frustrated by your password choosing policy. I'm sure most of the passwords from the breaches would be attempted anyway.

Credential stuffing[0] is the real issue. If there was an API to test that a user isn't using this password on other websites, that would be very useful.

I don't think this is a great error message. I use Clojure everyday and I still had to look 2 times to find the error.

If it was something like this, this would be much better:

Unmatched parenthesis from starting at line 5.
Maybe you wanted to do something like this?
1 (defun foo()
2
3 )
4
5 (defun bar()
6 (let (x)
7 )
^

This being a very basic code. In reality you will have multiple function calls inside more complicated functions (like a package definition in Guix), so you will end closing 10+ parenthesis and catching them can be hell.
Soccer has headers and the occasional accidental clash of heads. The youth organizations have mostly all banned headers up to a certain age. To be honest, I'd be fine if they banned headers in the game completely if it became an issue. Even then, the ball is lighter than it used to be, so it's a difficult thing to track if headers are still an issue. Technology and rule changes could almost fix it completely. But not sure how they're going to do that for gridiron football and still retain the essence of the game.
Well I'm more critical of the lack of transparency, which makes discussion of the mechanics impossible.

As said, I'd understand a flagging because of "off-topic" or something.

And while I strongly oppose a "no-politics" policy, even that would be fair game if enforced transparently.
I've never understood the market for skimmed milk; normal milk has so little fat anyway, it seems pointless to remove any, especially since it ruins the flavour.

I can only guess that the milk producers want that milk fat for something else, butter and cream perhaps, so created an artificial market by claiming skimmed is healthier.

First let me start by saying that the research on brain injuries and sports is very new and at times has shown fairly bad protocols in the studies, so basically anything you read on the subject requires more specialist context than I have.

That said, in reading about this for the last decade or so when it became a top news item, its become apparent that most brain injury news stories don't report on them very well and lump 2 drastically different kinds of brain injury into the same bucket. Concussions and CTE. The former is caused by a single traumatic event that can leave the brain damaged after it. The latter is probably a repetitive injury, lots of small events that add up to brain damage.

Gridiron football has the opportunity for both. Big shots on open field runners frequently lead to concussions, but for CTE the most dangerous position may be offensive linemen who infrequently take those high speed impacts that get so much coverage. Instead on every play they are taking repeated small blows to the head.

This is how soccer gets lumped in. There is at least circumstantial evidence that the arial game in soccer and potentially even header practice can lead to CTE at fairly high incidence rates. Given the lack of studies its unclear what the level of danger is.

Hockey on the other hand has the opposite danger. Repeated small head hits are rarer than in football but the incidence of traumatic concussion causing hits is similar if not higher.

American football is the first sport to have major studies around brain injury and those are fairly early days. As the other sports have more studies, and as the studies get more data, I suspect we will find that all contact sports put you at risk of brain injury and that football and rugby have higher incidence of CTE than the others. But thats just guess work right now.

Mountain walking/climbing boots as well - adjusting laces in bad weather if you have gaiters, over-trousers and crampons on can be a nightmare.

Mind you they'd have to have a reliable fall-back so they still work and are adjustable if (when) the power fails.

Edit: I was actually thinking last weekend when I think I over tightened my laces on my boots and my feet got quite sore that strain gauges in boots/laces might be a good thing!
Hockey seems to have serious brain injury problem, deaths and concussion lawsuits but not enough epidemiological data. There is slowly growing body of literature that points to similar problem as American football. Maybe the brain autopsies from dead players will turn the tables there as well.

Even if headers turn out not to be harmful, many of those clashes of heads are caused by two players going for a header at the same time, so there's still reason to ban them.

I'm originally from Basel, where the Rhine river is flowing true and very central to the city's history and appearance. We usually go swimming (it's more letting yourself float) in the Rhine in summer by starting at one part of the city and then getting out at the other.

This year it was quite unusual as the current was extremely slow, the water was very warm and you could see that there is significantly less water flowing through. We always talk about climate change but feeling it in ways like these makes it very relatable and real.

> In the context of schools, literally everybody benefits from population wide literacy and education.

Education is more of a private good than you seem to realize. It is definitely excludable and in traditional settings it is quickly becomes rival past small groups of similarly motivated people.

Self learning is not rival, i.e. my learning of something does not prevent you from being able to learn it, but then that cannot be used to justify government provision of education.

Once one learns something, it becomes part of one's human capital and one cannot be separated from it. Hence the difference between loans for college versus mortgages.

Now, in this case, people are finding out that roads are not very public goods either (even though government entities have take over provision). First, roads are excludable. Second, they tend to also be very rival when they are most needed. The reduction in capacity highlighted their nature of quickly becoming rival.

Finally, if it people actually benefited from all the time-shifting, taking ferries instead of driving, leaving home at 5 am and sleeping in the parking lot waiting for the office to open, they all had that option before the construction began. Ergo, people are made worse off by the change no matter how they are adapting.

One of these things is not like the others...

Buying big soft drink bottles instead of small is both cost-effective (as they're usually cheaper per liter) and a plastic saving measure.

(What I particularly dislike about modern consumerism is the infatuation with small: small bags of chips, small bags of fruits, individually-packaged sausages, small bottles of drinks, small bottles/bags of cosmetics, etc. Combined with disposability of packaging, it's just a huge generator of plastic waste.)

It's not about discounting people who have prepared, what I'm looking for in an interview is: (1) Does this person approach problems in a systematic and logical way, (2) do they ask the right questions to clarify the task, (3) can they explain to others how their thought processes work, (4) can they formalize a discussion into a written description of the problem, (5) can they discuss in detail the nuances of their solution and relate that back to real world situations.

If I ask a question and the candidate knows the most optimal solution then it's very difficult for me to assess most of those questions - because they aren't actually thinking through the problem, they're just remembering the solution and I primarily want to hire people who can figure out solutions - even if takes them a little bit longer, because it's indicative of their ability to actually go beyond what's already established in the field.
Toolboxes are in the $5k range (to me that is crazy), so if you get the database, optimization, and power systems toolbox with a license, you're not far from $20k.

This is really impressive! I will keep this in mind if I ever apply to any of these big tech companies. I've sent a few applications over the years, but I never got past a phone screening, and I didn't realize how completely unprepared I would have been.

Maybe these whiteboard interviews also filter out people who don't really want the job enough. If someone spends a lot of time brushing up on algorithms and practicing interviews, then it shows that they really want the job, so they're more likely to be a high performer.

I'm surprised they were able to get job offers from Google and Facebook, while their application was just rejected by Stripe. I also got rejected by Stripe without a phone call. I have some really talented friends who were also rejected after an interview. I'm starting to think that Stripe's hiring bar is just much higher than Google or Facebook.
