I don't think your comment should be downvoted simply because it seems to point women in a negative light. Maybe using "falling for" wasn't the right choice of words.

It is something that should be addressed and looked at. Along the same lines of MLM's offering flexible schedules, more women are realtors than men. (https://www.trulia.com/research/is-real-estate-a-mans-or-wom...)

I've read in the past that women excel at realty because they are better at networking, building relationships, and are more trustworthy among the real estate un-educated. I think the same forces come into play in MLM - women trust other women and what they're selling and are sold on the "just build out your network for success" message that MLM's seem to thrive on.

The only issue is that realty can lead to success, while MLM's are designed from the very start for people to fail.
(cough) blockchain coins are pyramid schemes too (cough)
Heating a Building by Stirring Water
The difference between a franchise and a pyramid scheme is that a franchisee only sells products to consumers/end-users, not the franchise/brand itself.

It might sound like a subtle difference, but the incentives as a result of both business models are quite different.

Franchise sellers for example WANT their franchisees to operate the franchised business well. It is a "if they make money, we make money" situation. A pyramid seller only wants their agents to grow the pyramid, and they make money from sign ups even if everyone below loses money.

One is trying to create successful businesses, the other is trying to drain sign up fees from as many people as possible.
Classic shell fixes the start menu and its search
It's being weaselly, I believe the article is saying that the current record keeping means that if high earner growth slowed down in relation to low earner growth it would be (all other things equal) recorded as a decrease in growth (or absolute value even).

But it doesn't offer numbers about an unweighted average because the unweighted average is -worse-. Tech workers' mid & high level salaries have been keeping a good pace with inflation (even after adjusting to the CoL effects in areas like silicon valley) it's low income workers who have been hit the worst by our modern economy with their hourly wages well behind simple inflation adjusted figures from three decades ago.

This is just... a terribly written article sadly. It's like if you were to say "Global warming is going to be 2-3 deg C" and I argued "No, you're wrong, your numbers are highly suspect and thus I deny climate change (because I am getting figures closer to 4.5 deg C)"... can we classify this type of article as "kicking over the other's kids toys"?

Women are probably somewhat more likely to participate independent, no-fixed-location, social product sales businesses (including MLMs, which often are pyramid schemes) then men, for a number of reasons, including the continued influence of traditional gender roles.
Hey :)

By "short", I mean (dog willing) 10-20 years. So there plenty of time for y'all to get very tired of me.

I have noticed, over the last decade or so, that I'm becoming increasingly adamant about doing whatever it is I'm committed to in the moment. And not spending time doing stuff that doesn't interest me, to make others happy. I've always been somewhat like that. But now I'm much more upfront about it.
I find Hossenfelder problematic because if you look at the rhetoric the blog post itself is relying on intuition and in essence a beauty argument in order to make a sociological point.
I think Hossenfelder has a point about the state of professional physics, but the way this is communicated is unclear and lacks this rhetorical introspection as well. It's why her posts draw so much attention; the strong assertions, the arguing, and how the unrigorous writing itself obscures this.
My understanding was that everything on the Pi except for the video processor was open source. Am I mistaken? Or, are you talking of something different? Or, do you know of an open source library or demonstration of use of the VideoCore for DSP?
I think the issue is that Google still has full control over the source. Maybe we just need to pull an io.js on chromium, though Microsoft would need to be on board.
Yeah such is life. What's worse, some of the people who shouldn't possess wealth are some of the richest people on earth. (think El Chapo).

Right, I was more curious why you thought OpenWRT was a better solution.
Some people have different work habits.

Some people do critical work that can't be delayed.

This OS behavior wouldn't be acceptable in a computer running in a surgery office or a nuclear control room.

The problem is the OS is limiting its acceptable use cases to where the work isn't terribly important and can be interrupted without warning.

This is a technology problem with a technological solution.

These users would be wise to choose an OS that won't fail this way.
The point is that we do that, and the problem space is just too complex to produce clear answers. We don't know what would happen if someone launched a missile at one of our aircraft carriers. With that in mind, nick is clearly begging the question.
This is the only sane way to look at it. If you compare it with historical correlations between compensation and productivity[1], then things look pretty bleak.

Over the last decade, engineer pay certainly hasn't kept up with increases in cost of living expenses, especially in places like SF or NYC.

If you could redesign web browsers from scratch, what would you change?
Similar (FF + Ubuntu 1804, GTX 1080Ti, i7 4790K):

CPU: 0.863s ±1.4%

GPU: 0.003s ±4.0% (279.34 times faster!)

I believe the library is using WebGL with buffers; browsers can make use of hardware for rendering and this library simply takes advantage of that
Hmm, I guess that's okay as long as they don't change the code to call any new functions?

The set of functions that some generic code calls could be considered similar to an interface or trait in other languages. If they expand the interface (by calling new functions) then you'd need to make sure the new functions they call have the appropriate implementations needed as well.

In Go, for example, the interface definition would be explicit. You'd add a method to the interface (or perhaps define a new interface) and update all the implementations you know about. If there is any outside code calling it with their own implementation, they'd get a compile error.

It does sound rather convenient if essentially every function call allows for new implementations, though.
India have played a diplomatic masterclass. They can claim non-military action against a terrorist group (that is supported by ex pakistani army men which were probably killed too). 300 in total. Whilst Pakistan took down 1 of Indias armymen and 40 soliders via a terror attack. India also claims to have down a Pakistani jet. Overall India look better on the international stage and have also manned down more numbers. Pakistan really has been useless both at diplomatic and non diplomatic methods.
The training and pentesting came later, saving the company.

The company was created starting from early fuzzing research at Florida Institute of Technology. The whole point of the company was to fuzz things for software companies. That mostly didn't work out.

That all might not be your fate, but consider it a warning. You could do a better job of making things accessible, or you could offer a more acceptable price point, or you could advertise better, or maybe 2019 is different enough from 2002 that such a business is more viable.
Such is life. What's even more depressing is the fact that some people who shouldn't be in possession of wealth(El Chapos of the world) are among the richest people on earth

Because in order to get the electricity to your house the power plant had to first do whatever it needed to do to generate the electricity.

for example if the power plant is burning oil, and converting that to electricity, then you convert that electricity to heat you're going to get much less heat than just burning the oil yourself.
I saw the Falkirk Wheel last year and it's amazing. The design deliberately calls back to 19th century British engineering works like those of Brunel, Watt, and others. Well worth a visit if you are in Scotland.
How do I have a choice as a consumer when companies have no incentive (through force of law or massive fines) to correct their actions? I live in an area that has typical grocery stories, everything inside is covered in plastic. There's no option to buy spices and put them in my own containers, neither the grains or rice or lentils.

What am I suppose to do? Drive 100 miles to the nearest store so I can by rice that's not in several plastic bags?

Why don't our politicians put our needs first? Why are they bought out by life damaging companies like Koch Industries who instead encourage people to "reduce" or "recycle."

What a crock of shite.

If companies were forced to pay 30% of their yearly gross profits for needless plastic usage (IMO 90% of all plastic use pointless) they would change their policies.

I'm not talking about "enjoyment" I'm talking about no incentive to correct their behavior. Corporations are fucking over the Earth because are politicians are too chickenshit to tell them otherwise.

I honestly hope I die before this all these travesties come to fruition.
SAT solvers only scale sometimes. Complexity theory is a starting point for understanding why this "sometimes" is inevitable, but it never even implies that NP-complete problems are never tractable. Complexity theory gives us an understanding of how powerful and expressive SAT is which very much does inform real development.

Arguing that "SAT is NP-complete and therefore useless" is not misusing complexity theory, it's misunderstanding complexity theory—not misunderstanding some deep result or non-trivial consequence of complexity theory, but misunderstanding the fundamentals that are covered in the first lecture of the first class on the topic.

I don't know how C) fits in the narrative. I think we could flush this out a little more.

Global economies are linked. If China isn't doing well, there's a risk that could spill over into other countries (point D), and that includes the US.

Are we saying that the US is doing well, but China is doing poorly because, all else equal, if the China-US trade discussions do not end well, it harms China more than it harms the US? It would certainly hurt both economies. Costs for goods would rise in the US. US Consumers buy less, consumer confidence slides, 70% of economic activity is consumer spending, etc.

But that regional authority would have to be a legal person, too, in order to do anything via the legal system. This doesn't avoid the problem of personhood at all, so much as it changes who/what the nonnatural person actually is. Like, say we did it your way. We make a regional authority that's only raison d'etre is looking after the ecological interests of the lake. That's going to be either some NGO or non-profit or government agency, all of which are considered persons under the law.

I'm not sure if that was the idea, but nothing you said refutes what I said. If there is a potential SSRF due to one of those vulnerabilities show that, if there is a potential but unlikely RCE show that.

Just saying that the default node image has 580 vulnerabilities helps no one actually trying to fix these vulnerabilities or assess how to prevent this in the future.

How come there is no New York?
I didn't understand it even on the third read. What are they measuring? An individuals wage growth through their career, or the growth of the US mean or median wage over time? And what of the mentioned weighting - other than that it's 'different' between the two methods, I'm utterly confused as to what it actually is, or why there is weighting at all.
This is true. Large volume, simple design, and loose tolerances were the Soviet production strategy, but not ours. We cut some corners in terms of e.g. not replacing the Sherman tank with something newer, which meant the Sherman was immediately outclassed by the Tiger and Panther, but that didn't matter because most of the Wehrmacht was still using Panzer IV's.

They said it was informative, they didn't say anything about making important decisions.

It shows you what is often searched for which is informative, even if in that case it shows that racism is common (which arguably is informative within itself, albeit depressing).

Personally I like doing "[Something] Vs " to see what people consider are competitors. For example: "hacker news vs " returns:

- "hacker news vs reddit"

- "hacker news vs slashdot"

- "hacker news vs code"

etc.

> for example if the power plant is burning oil, and converting that to electricity, then you convert that electricity to heat you're going to get much less heat than just burning the oil yourself.

OTOH, the power plant probably has a rail connection or pipeline for oil, and the marginal energy cost of transporting an additional unit of oil to the power plant is probably quite low compared to the marginal energy cost of transporting the same additional unit of oil to your house.

> I find that eye candy reduces the space available for text

Not all eye-candy does that. Some years ago, because I missed having some eye-candy, I installed a compositor, made my windows translucent and got them to do opening and closing animations. I also put a screensaver as a moving background. It looked very cool and was just as information dense as it was originally. However, with so much eye-candy, it was hard to focus on the content and I felt my eyes strained. I ended up feeling much better when I turned it all off.

Right now, I don't even have a background, but I find information-dense tiling-wm setups have their own aesthetics. If you asked me what looked cooler / better / more usable, a "modern" GUI (like Windows, OSX, or Ubuntu's default) or a tiling-wm setup with mainly terminal windows, I'd have to say it's the latter.
> And furthermore, as I understand it, lost energy tends to become heat!

AFAIK the whole problem is that "waste" heat happens at the coal/gas plant where heat is converted into electricity in the first place, and (to a lesser extent?) in the transmission lines, not at your house where it'd be useful.
The thing about electricity is that it's perhaps the most "useful" form of energy. Not only can you use it to heat your house, but also to drive your car or run your phone or your power tools etc.

On the other end of the spectrum, you have "low grade waste heat", take for instance the heat from running a computer. Almost all the (useful) energy input as electricity gets turned into hot air coming out. You can use that to heat your room, but nothing else.

So because electricity is so useful and high grade energy, we prefer not to use it "just" for resistive heating. Running heat pumps is an example of a much better use (you can get 4-5 times as much heat out).

No. The investors should have put in the money with the expectation that some of it would be used to clear up whatever cap table issues exist. Could your ex founder pay for this himself? Sure, but founders are often short on cash and it is bad for the system if hostile VCs can come in and just bury the founders they don’t like in legal fees. I assume you’re trying to get rid of this former cofounder - 2k is a pittance, it’s better to resolve this quickly and move forward.

Women are more likely to be at home with the kids and looking for additional income and something to do, and might also be shut out of the traditional workforce in a lot of places. They generally prey on marginalized groups — after all, if a regular middle class job were an option, would you do this?
In r/antiMLM they sometimes talk about "financial advising/consulting" pyramid schemes involving either selling information on stocks or weird funds, and those disproportionately target men. (And reading Gang Leader for a Day, apparently for some proportion of inner-city boys selling drugs is a pyramid scheme of sorts.)

Women usually spend more on products, and pyramid schemes are definitely targeting consumers by dangling the carrot of helping them pay for the product they are consuming so much of, so it'd make sense that they'd mostly be made up of women. It's not always "falling for" in the sense that women are not always caught up in the scammy part; sometimes they really like the product that much, and sometimes it's a social thing that they're OK paying for to stay in the community. If anything that there exists consumers of pyramid schemes that are OK partaking in the pyramid part but not taking it seriously makes it worse, because it legitimizes the whole activity in the eyes of a) uninvolved husbands/bystanders and b) potential marks who are really falling for it.
Nice. I'm sure you've looked into various backends to use (in addition to AFL). Just wanted to give a shoutout to radamsa[0]. My [somewhat not-up-to-date] experience has been that it produced sometimes findings that AFL didn't (because of e.g. different approach relative to infinite input space).

In regard to CPUs - my laptop reports 4 CPUs, my workstation 16 - where the value for someone involved in fuzzizng would come in my mind would be if you could take away the hassle of scaling fuzzing 'transparently' to 100 or 1000 CPUs. What I am suggesting here is that on your pricing page you might be off by factor of 100 in regard to what number of CPUs actually make offering compelling to someone who would consider outsourcing their fuzzing infrastructure.
Top web hacking techniques of 2018
How I understood it: the measure everyone thinks is wage growth (when we look at published economic data), is assumed to weight all workers equally: making it an unweighted average.

What people are actually citing is a metric that gives greater weight to higher earners than lower earners-- that metric is called Average Hourly Earnings (AHE). The name is confusing: it implies an unweighted average (because the word 'average' alone implies adding up all data points, then dividing by the number of points), but in actuality it's weighted.

If you calculate wage growth the way people assume it to be (an unweighted average), that growth number is greater.

That's just the code name for Firefox for Android. Ime it's fairly pleasant to use since flick scrolling was improved, and browser plugins on mobile are the selling feature.

Definitely sad to see Shumway die, but I think in retrospect it will be clear it was a forward thinking decision. WASM will obviate a lot of the effort for what has clearly become a historical feature.

The origin of modern Firefox could be dated back to the origin of Servo in 2012 since it layed all the groundwork. I think this is the clear turning point in Mozilla's refocus, maybe push it back to 2015 when Firefox OS was dropped.
