There are a few practices in modern agriculture that are probably not helping. Farmers use pesticides to kill everything but the crop they are interested in. Then they use pesticides to get rid of insects and other parasites, and finally they use herbicides so they can trigger plants to start dying just in time for harvest rather than waiting this to happen organically.

That stuff is nasty. It's actually intended to be nasty. And the side effect is that it kills a lot of animals and plants indiscriminately. Also, this stuff is possibly not that great for human consumption either. There seems to be a lot of lobbying around this topic and a lot of debate about what is considered OK here. But I'd say most people would probably opt out of having any of this stuff in their food, just on the off chance it might decrease their chances of getting some cancer, genetic defects in their offspring, etc.

Modern organic farming can actually get great yields by more clever use of soil and land and does not need pesticides, herbicides, or insecticides. There is a lot of high tech stuff facilitating this including drones, water management, use of herds of animals to manage soil (planned grazing), etc. And then there is hydroponic farming as well. Progress in this space is very rapid.

Phasing these out and restricting the use of poison in farming would probably be a good thing. This cannot be done over night but there are plenty of farms that have switched to being fully organic while increasing yields and profits. It can be done and it requires doing things differently. Now is a good time to start doing much more of that. And we might actually restore some arid lands to healthy condition in the process which would not hurt our planet either.
I honestly don't understand how they could have spelled that street name wrong.
The concepts are also just symbols, just in different media. They are also a map.

>if/when mathematics provides a complete map to that territory which is "the world",

Then it will encode all the information that exists in the universe. Which will not fit in your head, and thus will not be mathematics. Just because a territory is trivially a map of itself doesn't mean it is useful to call it a map.

>The description of the state of it as it is before us is monstrously large, but the initial conditions and rules might not be.

Reality isn't just the initial rules. It has state. That state must be described for you to have a complete description of reality. Yes, we could mathematically describe the complete laws of nature. But reality is necessarily more than just that, because the state is really damn relevant. You can't just ignore it because it doesn't fit your argument.

I think the review demonstrates the management of the company. People don't agree with Zuckerbergs decisions, they can choose not to use his product.

You don't like the decisions/actions of management of a company, you choose not to use the company.

You act like a dick bag, and get a bad review. It shows you don't know how to conduct your self maturely. Not someone I would want to go into business with.
Fire codes in many developed regions also require working smoke alarms whether the property is rented or owner-occupied.

Add to that the economic incentives involved when you wish to insure you property against fire and liability, or mortgage it (which almost always imposes a requirement to insure the property).

I don't know loads about cars but here are some tips that have served me well in the past. Note than I'm based in the UK but most of these should still be relevant. I always buy used cars as when you buy a new car it loses around 20% of it's value as soon as you drive it of the showroom forecourt.

1. Do your background checks on the car to make sure it's not stolen and to get a good idea about it's history. In the UK the car has to have an MOT each year to prove it's road worthy (you may have something similar in the US). This info is available online in the UK and shows when it passed and if there were any advisories. No advisories is ideal.

2. Only buy a car if the seller has paperwork that show it's service history. If a car has been serviced regularly it shows it's been looked after.

3. Inspect the body work to see if there are any signs of damage or if there are any panels are a slightly different colour. If a panel is a slightly different colour it's a telltale sign it's been in an accident.

4. Try to buy a car with as few previous owners as possible. If a car has been passed around to lots of different owners there's a higher chance it hasn't been looked after.

5. Check similar cars online to get a good idea of price and always haggle.

6. Never buy a car without taking it for a test drive. I'm guessing you're buying an automatic so check the car goes through the gears smoothly and there are no knocks etc. Make sure when you start the engine that the car is starting from cold and that it hasn't been warming up before you got there. Take your hands of the wheel to make sure the car doesn't drift of to the side as this is a sign something is wrong. Check underneath the car when you've done to check for oil / coolant leaks etc. Check the brakes and steering etc (there's lots more I could list but this is a basic idea.

7. Finally if you're not happy with it for any reason walk away. You are under no obligation to buy it so don't feel pressured into making a bad purchase.

Hope this helps

Very interesting results. I'm not sure I agree that it's necessary to keep password information out of memory in an unlocked password database, since an attacker could always just extract the decryption keys from memory and use those to decrypt the database on disk to get the same information.

The other findings about sensitive information remaining in memory even _after_ the password managers are locked are concerning however. It'd be great if the article included a link to the CVEs or bug tracker issues for these vulnerabilities so we could keep track of whether or not they've been fixed.
I just migrated from LastPass to 1Password7, happier with the GUI/interfaces but I hope they fix these issues up to at least make it harder to extract the passwords when in a locked state.

Naively, it seems like capitalism is a means of “top group” selection, so long as there is relatively high chance for social mobility and opportunity.

The method which worked better for chickens still involved selecting the best cohort (capitalism), and this improved over open breeding (socialism) or winner-take-all (monarchy).
This is extremely interesting and basically boils down to the following neurological observation:

Anything (molecules, electric charge, magnetic fields etc) that is originally created by brain activity and itself detectable by other parts of the brain - what ever those are (mostly neurons, axons or dendrites I suppose) was factored in during the evolution of the brain and is henceforth utilized as a signal. That's why the brain is so incredibly complex and the classical neural network model doesn't cut it.

In other terms if X is systematically caused by A and is then affecting some B then that X will at some point serve as a signal factored into the neural processing and is no longer just noise! This happens evolutionarily over millions of years as well as dynamically in context of neural plasticity to some extent.

The same concept is true for anything in the body - which is why the separation of the body into modules / organs is problematic. But the effect is much more potent in the brain due to the high density of signalling and processing.
Can anyone comment on how concerning this is? It doesn’t seem good. I was considering updating from 1Password4 to 7 and biting the bullet on the subscription model. Based on this case study it seems 7 is a security regression trade for UX improvements. Now, I’m considering Keepass or at least waiting to hear some responses from providers involved.

My take away from the Snowden leaks was basically non-technical and simply an appreciation for how public-private partnerships have assembled a new sort of surveillance industrial complex. One which resembles the military industrial complex and may in the future even replace it? It felt like a warning along the lines of Eisenhower and even Snowden’s role as a whistle blowing contractor felt symbolic of our government’s diminished role in it all.

Would you consider that as misguided? It certainly encourages a general distrust of all those company logos in the slides.
Not to be contrary but I’d call it more than superficial, the inventors of Erlang were using Prolog before they created Erlang. Also, IIRC the first version of what would become Erlang was actually a Prolog variant.

If it is impossible to enforce laws against cybercrimes, one option would be to bring back the concept of outlawery:

Once a jury finds that a given domain was responsible for a crime but it was impossible to actually go after them, the government would declare them to be a fair target for any hackers.

Note: I don't know if this would actually be a good idea. I just think its an interesting idea.

> First and foremost, password managers are a good thing. All password managers we have examined add value to the security posture of secrets management, and as Troy Hunt, an active security researcher once wrote, “Password managers don’t have to be perfect, they just have to be better than not having one”

I would assume that a pseudo-random moderately strong password per site stored in your brain would be more secure than a random strong password that's stored electronically and vulnerable to attack, but maybe not?

Being hit how? What type of accidents are more likely to happen? A bike path with no interaction at all with cars will of course prevent any bike-car collision, there will still be bike-bike collisions and other types of accidents (the majority of bike accidents are not car-bike collisions anyway). That kind of exclusive bicycle path is delusional anyway, specially in a urban settings, where you always have to interact with the regular roadway. And it is there, in those interactions where most bike-car collisions happen, in fact most collisions in general happen in intersections. Segregating by vehicle type only makes intersections, which is were accidents happen, more complicated. It makes no sense to have an exterior lane being a thru lane when the adjacent lane is allowed to turn right, that is a contradiction to traffic engineering principles and it is what many bike lanes do.
>However, the part of you creating a personal project in Python to could have potentially automate the solution to you company's project would have been neat.

To be honest, sometimes organizations cannot get out of their own way. There was another situation previously where two of us solved a big problem using a low-cost non-standard (something the company did not have in their stack) solution. We presented it up the management chain and mostly just got our hands slapped because that solution was not aligned with the roadmap. It took over 12 months before they started to consider that solution, and even then they twisted it badly so it "aligned" to the larger solution architecture of the stack. So even when they added that to the stack, we couldn't use it the way we had intended because they didn't want that solution to overlap with other parts of the stack.

Obviously this wasn't a place where I was going to spend 10 years. But for a while, it was a welcome respite from the toxic job before it.

In the UK, people against 20mph limits often oppose them while claiming that they're never able to get above that speed anyway. Why are they opposing it then? The answer is simple - it's not true and on many streets you're able to drive at 30 or over (if you disregard other people's safety). I would sincerely doubt this was any less the case in the US where traffic lanes even on 'tight' streets seem to be stupidly wide. Many drivers also seem perfectly happy to break the speed limit in their desperate rush to get the back of a queue or to a red traffic light.

It's all very well having cars going at 40mph past you on a bike until the driver of one of them gets distracted or makes a simple mistake and hits you. Then you'll wish they were doing 20!
Those diminishing returns haven’t seemed to happen yet. What is it this year... Avengers vs. Batman?
This is incredibly worrying. I understand that anti-vax conspiracy theories are dangerous, but I can think of a ton of ways banning "bad medical advice", as determined by a $10/hr contractor at Pinterest, Facebook, etc. could end up hurting people with health problems by preventing them from sharing useful information. I have gender dysphoria and at one point considered getting on testosterone, but thanks to conversations with transmen and detransitioned women on social media, I learned about less-commonly discussed side effects and decided against taking testosterone. This is an area where research is still developing and there aren't a ton of long-term studies, so it's incredibly helpful to be able to learn from other people's experiences, even if they aren't yet confirmed by research.

Likewise, I know people who've had a post or comment removed by Facebook because it was erroneously interpreted as racist or sexist. Off the top of my head, I know a friend who was sharing information on ICE raids with friends who were immigrants and they got banned from Facebook for a couple of hours (he was unbanned after appealing). I know someone else who was sharing statistics on domestic violence that was interpreted as discriminatory. The corporations making these policies don't have a good enough understanding of political issues to determine whether a statement is hate speech - and hell, even people who are knowledgeable about politics and history disagree in a lot of areas.
I have a personal conviction too that anywhere in South Florida which figures out how to change focus to walking/biking safely will reap very nice appreciation in real estate and taxes.

Yes, the weather is very hot, but the issue is not the heat but the fact everything is so far away and there isn't a safe way either-way of getting there without a car.

I'm a fan of how I understand Japanese zoning works + some of the stuff they're trying in Spain to ban cars in some areas.

As for hot code reload, I've never seen why you would need that since you can use blue / green or canary / rolling deployment, the only reason I see is to keep some state in your app, which I think is a terrible idea.

What I could reach with my mouse/trackpad, I now had to touch. What I could select with my mouse/trackpad, i now had to touch.
