I couldn't think of something more pointless than seeking that which will never be found. No one knows and no one is going to know. We'd be much better off seeking understanding of our fellow man than looking for some "source of love". The only thing Christianity spouts more than love is hate. The bible is full of it. Who can seriously recommend Christianity as a "source of love"? Humanity will be much better off when we give up on the fallacy of religion.

Chlorine reacts with pretty much any organic compound (hair, sweat, skin, urine) to produce chloramine. And yes, while this is the thing that irritates your eyes, it's not to say that chlorine is harmless either. There is evidence for respiratory and organ damage from extended exposure to chlorinated pools.

There's two kinds of "bad" drivers. There's "the insurance company does not like it when you drive this way because you will likely cost them money" bad drivers and there's "legitimately doing a poor or ineffective job at accomplishing the task of driving". Weaving through traffic at +20 and passing on the inside in a rotary are examples of the former. Paying more attention to your phone than to driving is an example of the latter.

Florida by nature of it's popularity with tourists and retirees has a lot of the latter. Most people drive about average. When the local average is dragged down by hordes of tourists and retirees even the people who wouldn't otherwise drive that way do so because it's what's normal around them.

Where I come from the police used to hunt and kill "undesirables", and bury the bodies up in the mountains. One of the first things my dad taught me was how to recognize those long skinny headlights on a cop car, you had to learn to avoid them at all costs to survive if you didn't have the appropriate skin color.

They aren't always good guys, and it's ok to have legitimate concerns about cooperation with law enforcement.

It does, a little bit, but that's ok.

No, it wasn't a surprise that it wasn't as bike friendly as Sweden. My comment was I was shocked at how extremely hostile Florida in particular was. I hadn't been to Florida prior to moving here. I committed to move away from Sweden because my wife couldn't stand it any more, the social aspects of Sweden are not all that peachy. It's really hard to break through the social barriers and make friends there. I had visited other parts of the US which I really did like, but we ended up here for work. We'll spend a few years here and then leave for some greener grass.

Having gone on some road trips my observation is it varies a lot by state. Tennessee is one of my favorites down south and D.C metro area is quite nice if you avoid the city center.

I just bought my first home last spring. No HOA, but I did get the city called on me for being close to the 8 inch limit on grass. We also heard on the grape vine that one neighbor blamed our longer grass for the mosquitoes keeping them from enjoying the outdoors, instead of, you know, the record rainfall and nearby drainage ditch.

Luckily my city's ordinances have a provision for a "natural lawn" made up of native grasses and plants that can be extra tall. I intend to turn my front yard into one to reduce how much mowing I need to do.
I think your conflating UEFI, with the entire firmware stack. Anyway, there is a bit of LOL here. UEFI DXE/EFI drivers don't have a security model, once they are trusted they have free reign (similar to how a linux module can mostly to anything it wants). But... they don't tend to run under the OS, outside of the very thin UEFI runtime services. Most of UEFI is tossed/overwritten when exit boot services are called. Plus, they are effectively running in the context of the OS kernel which provides the security guarantees. AKA there is nothing gained by finding a bug in the RTC or if someone manage to break the signing chain and provide a bogus firmware update because the exploit happens outside of UEFI itself and doesn't provide more functionality then they already have.

Now, that said, you have various ME/BMC processors scattered about, and those are the ones that have frequently been exploited to great advantage. The real chuckle here is that most of the BMC's are running uboot (or similar) firmware/OS stacks which don't tend to be upgraded for the very reasons I pointed out earlier. So yes, your BMC gets owned over the network, and it manages to own the OS running on the main processors because it can inject things into the address space during any part of the boot/runtime. But that isn't a UEFI failing, its a failing of the BMC vendors who don't have a clean way to audit/control the code being built into the images. If you look at OpenBMC its a yocto based system. Which means like android the vendors are on the hook for assuring their system works, and having ongoing development control of the upstream tree's. That all works about as well for BMC's as it does for android.

Gosh this is not gonna go well with the public. I know several kids who just can't hold pee in the pool. They'll just let it out. Also its not like the toilets are right there. You often have to get out of the pool, walk like 100 yards or down a flight of stairs. It's a PITA. Even Michael Phelps once said in an interview that very rarely competitive swimmers get out of the pool to pee.

Does chlorine hurt your eyes: "...22 April 1915 shortly after 17:00; French troops in the path of the gas cloud sustained about 6,000 casualties. Many died within ten minutes and others were blinded. Chlorine gas reacts with water to form hypochlorous acid, destroying moist tissue such as the lungs and eyes..."

Bromine, ozone, osmosis and of course chlorine are what makes pool water safe. Bromine is usually used in warmer pools, hot tubs and spas. It's weird to swim in for your lips taste salty. I seem to float better in bromine water but it is most likely my imagination.

Ozone or ozonated pools are so clean you can drink from them. the 2008 Beijing Olympic pool was ozonated. Caveat, in a public pool setting with lots of bodies and such an ozonated pool will need some chlorine to augment its safety.

Nature loves stagnant water, (as do mosquitoes) so filtration is very important. Osmosis is very good and as a result, you need less chlorine. The water in the Bahamas is so clear because of the sun radiating it and the circulation.

I am a swimmer and I blogged about the subject for years at the SCAQblog

A HaHaOnlySerious joke is not meant to represent absolute truth, but to be truthful enough to provoke reflection on the subject.

In this case, I am suggesting that if you survey some large group of Canadians, and 58% admit to peeing in a pool, there is also some non-trivial number of Canadians surveyed who have peed in a pool, but will not admit it to you.

Maybe not 42%, but also maybe not 2%.
well yeah. if you have an actual diagnosis such as that, a treatment protocol known to be effective makes perfect sense.

With Apple, if the adversary is a nation state that is willing to fight to affect it's bottom line, Apple just falls in line, like an obedient lap dog. Cases in point: China iCloud & Saudi app that tracks women - in both cases Apple did what the respective governments demanded, while making a show of force in America over the FBI's request to unlock an actual terrorist's phone.

In this case, things can get interesting if these companies have Chinese government backing. WeChat went through a similar fight with Apple, where Apple was trying to shove it's app store guidelines as justification for denying extensions on WeChat, but as usual, Apple curled up in the corner the moment there Chinese government got involved.
If you consider the hens in the analogy to be companies (rather than people) I think it holds.

We select for companies that can outcompete other companies rather than ones that contribute the most to the system.
So how much water do you need before it's socially acceptable? I pee in the lake. What about a large pond or a really huge pool in a water park?
I've also seen wired network authentication, but that's typically the network authenticating the devices that connect to it. This is more like the need for the device to authenticate the network that it's attached to, or really, to authenticate the USB devices attached to it. This is somewhat problematic: I feel like most employees/people want to go to a coffee shop and do work, or work at home, etc. How does one distinguish between those networks and the rouge ones?

(I think ideally, you don't distinguish. Every network is equally untrusted, and you rely on good end-to-end encryption. That doesn't address the rouge HID attack, however.)

I've also seen unauthenticated corporate networks where STP packets reach the end user ports, and AIUI, the right response packet would direct the network to start sending all traffic my way…
I guess I am looking at it from the employee perspective. If you want to advance it’s probably better to risk being called toxic instead of being a good team player who never gets anywhere.

There's plenty of organic compounds within our respiratory tracts and other mucus membranes, so it would make sense that if chlorine gets in there, regardless of whether there's already chloramine in the environment, there soon will be.

I grew up rural Wisconsin, and moved to, and lived in, Houston for about a decade or so. It's funny you should mention how no one where you grew up has those trucks, because this was my exact same experience. Initially, I just thought that everyone in Texas was just WAYYYY more wealthy than people in Wisconsin. Then I realized, down there, it's just the culture. Whether they have money or not, they will get a giant truck or suv, even if they don't need one.

This is precisely the toxic attitude talked about in the submission. Your goals shouldn't be opposed to the company's goals, and if they are, you're creating a problem on the team.

Doing "as little work as possible" in particular would immediately put you in the category of "toxic" here, specifically because it's completely unnecessary to living a balanced life. The only person that helps is you, as opposed to what a healthy person does, and that's find ways to help both themselves and the company.

It's not zero sum, and treating work like it is makes a person toxic.
I'm not sure of Sweden, but here in neighbouring Finland it's pretty quick and easy to get a visa if you have a job with a local technology company. Our applications have been processed in 2-4 weeks after completing the online application.

Solid advice. On a similar note, if you want good software, you don't need fancy unit tests or type systems. Just don't write bugs.
Can you elaborate on what you mean about the social aspects of Sweden not being peachy? Many people in the US describe Sweden as a utopia for Americans looking for a new foreign country to call home... any input on that sentiment would be appreciated.
I feel like in the lake or a natural pond there's plenty of bacteria who will be more than happy to eat it up. In a pool you specifically kill all the bacteria, so you forever swim in a soup of chemicals and urine until the water is replaced.
this is all nonsense - why are you proclaiming this fantasy as if you were some authority?
I'm gonna describe a very simplified version of the process.

1) The film is post to the LBRY network in two steps:
a) The film is broken up into chunks. the chunks are announced on a Bittorrent-like DHT (part of the LBRY protocol).
b) A hash of the file is included in a transaction on the blockchain. the transaction also includes some information about the film itself (e.g. name, description, trailer, etc), and information on how to pay for the film (address and price). we call this the "metadata".

2) When someone goes to download the film, their client sends LBC (the blockchain token) to the address in the metadata. You can trade the LBC for Bitcoin, and then sell the Bitcoin for $$$.

3) If LBRY is successful and a lot of people want to use it, demand for LBC will increase and its price on exchanges will go up. LBRY can then turn the LBC we hold into dollars. We've been documenting how we use our LBC here: https://lbry.io/credit-reports

I'm so sad I didn't screenshot the first image with "Shutterstock" written all over it - this never happened again.
strangemonad elsewhere here posted a link to a video evaluating the question of how much pee there is in pools, using the excretion of an artificial sweetener - which is only in urine and not, like urea, also in sweat - as the indicator.

The presenter is also dubious about the origin of the smell, and thinks that it comes from the chlorine, not the trichloramine product of chlorine interacting with urea. So he tests it out by mixing pool chlorine into two buckets, putting urine in one of them, covering for a few days, and smelling.

That experiment is run starting at https://youtu.be/S32y9aYEzzo?t=284 . The chlorinated water, even at 4x concentration, "smells just like water." While the one where urine was added "smells like a pool."
Similarly, a lot of folks refer to Wikipedia as "wiki".
You're saying not all conspiracies are valid, while asserting that all conspiracies involving the NSA implanting bugs in hardware in collusion with tech companies should be considered valid.

You're supporting my point rather than refuting it, in that you appear to have drawn an arbitrary line in the sand and decided to doubt everything on one side and believe everything on the other. That's not a rational point of view, it's religious dogmatism.

We'd need either 13 countries or any number of countries that represents 35% of the EU population to oppose this law.

Last time, it was 8 countries representing 27% that opposed it. A handy voting calculator[0] gives us about 23.88% of the population using the countries listed here.

This is (was?) a less-likely scenario to stop it. One final attempt will be when all the MEPs get a chance to vote on it.

Is that a threat vector that is actually being used? Apple for sure has to worry about, but I don't think petty criminals would have the know-how to fence data even if they get it.
Except for the case where they entire password DB can be decrypted and read (in the case of 1Password 7, at least). Sure, a keylogger could eventually get all of the passwords I use on the regular, but it couldn't get literally every password I have and in a nice, neat format along with where the passwords are used.

Reading the current password from memory = keylogger, I'm not worried about that. Reading every password I have or have ever had, including (I assume) encrypted notes and such? = keylogger on steroids.
Don’t you also store the 2FA recovery codes in the PW manager though? I haven’t found any other good method for this other than printing them out but that comes with its own issues obviously.

Okay, so for a use case like The Pirate Bay, which is a popular database of magnet links and related metadata (Description, who added to the database, when added, etc). Users search this data in various ways.

Can you explain how the same would be implemented on your system? As in, how would a user search it or find popular torrents? What would the components be and how would they fit together?

Obviously the vast majority of users (> 99.9%) will never consider running their own node, they won't need to store data on chain, they only want to read it, and they will not pay anything in order to do so.

How would your solution be better than doing it with an existing system such as EOS? It also provides publisher identities, human friendly account names, and a payment mechanism. In addition it also supports smart contracts or dapps or whatever you want to call them, which could be used to facilitate moderation.

edit: BTW, I like your demo
Thank you for the thoughtful reply. I'm a fan of your work and writings, they've been valuable for the whole JS/React ecosystem.

> you could probably implement a simple version of Hooks yourself in <200 lines

It reminds me of the Egghead video course in which you described "how to write your own Redux". That was a great explanation of the paradigm, and transformed how I think about state management in an application.

What I love about the concepts behind the paradigm, is that they can be implemented (as they are in Redux and elsewhere) as a handful of tiny functions that work with or without React, for composable and reusable state and actions.

I think my hesitation about Hooks as they're implemented, is that it seems to go against the ideal of de-coupled, pure functions. Although it does encourage that for the users of hooks, its own implementation feels coupled and impure.

For example, people are applying the Flux/Redux paradigm outside of React components and the UI/views layer, like server-side or independent features that need to manage their own states. I wish that Hooks had taken a similar approach to Redux, as a canonical approach to a generic and generally applicable paradigm, where one could "write your own Hooks".

> I strongly encourage you to play with it before forming a final opinion. Pretty much everyone who loves it now hated it at first. (I’m not an exception to that.)

Yes, I'll keep an open mind and study it more.

I read "React as a UI Runtime" when it was published, and it was insightful (will read it again to really digest it). I do love the concepts and principles on which React has been built, so I'll try to understand the reasonings behind how/why Hooks were implemented the way they are.
