The gist is just that editing is expensive. I think FCC is not going to move inside the paywall (maybe because they are limited by their name), but that there are going to be good programmer-focused pubs that spend heavily on editorial.

My reference for this is outdated, O'Reilly and then the old Railscast site. But I'm sure there is an appropriate middle ground that makes use of the new economics to do something valuable and high quality.

Let's pause for a moment and agree it takes balls to name a server 'glockenspiel'.

Most of the admins I work with would be unable to log in, due to inability to spell that.

Perhaps this is part of the tamper-resistent strategy resulting in long lifetime.
I don't have data, but I also believe video games are a major factor.
Just a counterpoint. I have taken prescription hydrocodone, for occasional use, for over ten years. I have been careful not to develop a tolerance. (because I want it to work when I need it.) It improves my quality of life. It's just a tool. A useful tool, like JSON, and unlike XML. Use it when needed, and don't use it when not needed. There are times I would have gone home from work, but sometimes even 1/2 tablet can make a huge difference.

Maybe this is related and maybe not: I also do not drink alcohol and have never seen any reason why it would be appealing.
I grew up in Baltimore City, born in the 70s. Up until the drug war in the 80s, it was a multiracial working class city. I lived near "Pigtown" one of the poorer areas, but I was never afraid to go out at night.

During the summer months when it was hot and humid, I'd sleep during the day, and friends and I would sneak out and walk all over the city in the middle of the night, we were only 11-12 years old.

Yes, we hung out on the stairs of our row houses, and on the corners of the streets, and played radios loud, but by and large, violence was confined mostly to bullying. In fact, we had often walked down Pratt street past Martin Luther King Boulevard with no problem from the people living in the projects.

Things changed after the drug war started in the 80s. I started experiencing shootings. Kids got shot at my school. I'd hear gunshots all during the night. I even got caught up in a shootout at one point, which sounded like firecrackers going off if it wasn't for the sounds of bullets ricocheting off of the brick houses (thank god old Baltimore rowhouses had real brick facades)

Many of my childhood friends became drug addicts, crack houses sprung up around my home. One of the friends I knew who I thought would graduate highschool and college, who was smart and into electronics, ended up as the neighborhood drug kingpin. Older neighbors and others who could, fled the city for the suburbs. Homes were boarded out, and soon, it looked like Mad Max. Our house sprouted bars on the windows.

If it hadn't been for my 300 baud vic-modem and Vic-20/C64, I wouldn't have gotten off the streets. I mostly survived by vanishing into the online world, and staying in libraries, and avoiding the streets.

To me, the war against crack cocaine is what leveled Baltimore. Not the drug itself, if the government had treated it as a public health problem, things might have turned out better. But the drug war only served to make drugs the most lucrative, most important part of the local economy, and for the losers in that economy, the dopamine it provided became an escape from despair.
But it’s not “affiliation” nor “activities.” It’s “is their stance on topic X compatible with ours?”

Still terrible. Still not illegal.
Followup question:

I have Signal running on my Linux computer and on my Android phone. On the Linux computer it doesn't have root access, but it does have access to its own files, so in theory there's nothing to prevent it from making a network request and updating itself. Additionally, I don't ever check Signal before installing a new update, I just blindly do it.

On my Android device, I also have auto-update turned on, because my only option is to turn it on for every app or none of them. So there's nothing to prevent Signal from updating itself and changing the crypto. If I were on an iOS device, I wouldn't even have that option -- to the best of my knowledge you can not turn off app auto-updates on an iPhone, but maybe someone can correct me if I'm wrong. In any case, it doesn't matter that Signal is updated "rarely". An attacker only needs to install one back door, they don't need to update it a hundred times.

So for an extremely typical user like me, who has been taught for as long as I can remember that the most secure thing you can do on an OS is install updates as they come in when they come in, doesn't Signal have the exact same problems as Mozilla? If someone compromises Signal's servers, can't they add a side-channel just as easily?

In theory, I could disable auto-updates and only update Signal when I looked at the source code, just like in theory I could examine the JS that I'm executing every time I connect to a site. But in practice, I don't.

When I read tptacek's rant nowadays, the immediate thing I can think is, "The web is malleable? Literally every single computing environment and device I own is malleable." It feels like if I were to take tptacek's advice to its logical conclusion, I would just conclude that ETE encryption in general is dead.

Sorry that should have been timers. If I tell Siri to set a timer (while a timer is running) it still asks if I want to change the timer or leave it alone.
>Africans, like most humans, are[0] (physical substrates containing) people; they're for doing whatever it is the person in question wants. Cows aren't[0]; they don't have any inside influence to bestow purpose upon them.

Putting aside the difference between sapience and sentience, are babies people? Are the mentally disabled people? As evidenced by law, we provide personhood even to beings that lack the mental capacity to bestow purpose upon themselves.

Even when we venture outside the "homo sapiens" sphere, we have different sets of laws governing what actions are acceptable when done to animals and what actions are acceptable when done to livestock. These distinctions are based upon our relationships with these animals and are not properties of the animal him or herself. Even within animals of the same species, the way in which we intend to use the animals governs what laws apply to our treatment of them. For example, in Alaska, dogs chosen for sled-pulling are no longer protected by animal cruelty laws and are in some cases legally considered livestock. [1] Are these dogs actually different than the ones living in our homes? Can we reasonably assert that intrinsic properties of these beings are the driving force behind the laws governing their treatment?

The Fletcher-Munson Curve

https://ehomerecordingstudio.com/fletcher-munson-curve/ breaks down how this affects your perception of music based on how loud it is. In the instance of that link, it's in regards to mixing recorded music, but it's apparent anytime you're listening to audio.
I believe this is also how it is done in NY.
Industrial operations are going to have to start giving a damn. A lot of them just don't right now. Most of the ones I've been in are an amalgamation of devices and software spanning the last thirty years. The number of xp boxes still controlling vital systems while being connected to the internet is insane.
wow, what a hateful and crude reply.
how is musk pushing the envelope? isn’t the whole industry getting there anyway, tesla be damned?

also, toyota.
But "what people mean", in their over-simplified grade-school understanding, is the actual bullshit.

This is a well-calculated, correct answer from astrophysics experts. If it's 'clickbait', it's not the abusive kind, but the piques-interest-and-teaches-something-new kind. Most readers probably learned something new as well, as the @PhysicsToday Twitter account pre-teased the article with a poll – https://twitter.com/PhysicsToday/status/1105460820148961280 – and fewer than 1-in-5 respondents got the answer right.
True, correlation does not equal causation. However a .44 correlation should not be ignored.
Only in parts of Europe. In some cliques.
That seems a bit deceptive by the researchers. I don't think anyone is saying "short term unemployment" leads to opioids. I think most people assume long term unemployment or lack of long term opportunities lead to hopelessness and drug use.

Certainly there is a difference between I got laid off from Company A and it took be 3 months to land a job at Company B and the only major employer in my area shut down and I have no real prospects.

I may be mistaken, but isn't "lack of participation in the labor force" equivalent to long term unemployment rather than short term unemployment?

Isn't the question whether there is a causative relation between "long term unemployment" and "opioid use"? Short-term unemployment has no bearing on the issue.
This is cool! Building a context from many data points is impressive.

I could see this being built into phones for sure. If the phone can detect the context with a small amount of battery it opens the phone to a whole lot of applications.
In general, I choose the best tool that provides the best cross platform use case. Unlike many, I'll often reach for web apps, or electron apps mostly because my biggest concern is being able to use the program in windows, macos and linux with the least friction.

I'm now using Hyper, rather than iterm2 because it's not mac only. Hyper isn't great, but I don't have a better cross platform general terminal. I use VS Code everywhere, absolutely love it. I tend to use Chrome, because it pretty much works everywhere, though Brave is my default on my phone.

There's a lot to be said for a better UI/UX, and programs that work everywhere. Also, google doesn't sell their data, they do sell ads using their data. I do wish they'd lock down their advertisers a bit (restricting to text + images, no JS should be needed in-ad).

I have mixed feelings about Google as a company and their culture. I don't trust most of their services/apps to stick around, so tend not to use them beyond browser, search and gmail.
>> caused by an opioid prescription. This would have nothing to do with your current job status.

This is still the USA. Healthcare is attached to employment. I think it safe to say that those without jobs aren't visiting the doctor, getting prescriptions, at the same rate as those with employer-provided care.
In my personal case, using opiates, specifically, heroin, was the only thing that let me keep my job (well, until I quit my job to get off of that shit). Working 12 hour day, 6-7 days a week in a brutal and miserable work environment (finance), the only thing I could do to survive was heroin. I would get like 4-5 hours a night and just felt like shit and really depressed everyday. Consequently, I started doing heroin for that extra "pep" (it's a common misnomer that heroin makes you fall asleep, it actually wakes you up). With heroin, I could work non-stop, sometimes for even 24 hours at a time while feeling sort of okay, provided I had a steady supply of heroin.

I do however think that heroin/opiates use decreases the ability to rejoin the workforce. I fortunately was making a great salary so I could afford an expensive heroin habit ($200-$300 a day). But your average blue-collar worker probably isn't making as much money, and therefore, there state is much more unstable. Oscillating between getting high, going into withdrawals, running out of money, etc etc. When you are in this state, it is very hard to plan for the future (the only thing you are thinking about is how to not go into horrible pain in 3-4 hours) and, therefore, get a job.
But it can be forked. Which means I can go start a Chrome competitor by myself, today, with zero up-front investment.
This article makes it out like the riots kick-started a new wave of violence. But homicides there had been tracking among the highest in the nation (nee the world) for a decade or more. The article won't give you a deep understanding of the problems Baltimore has been facing, but it's a good recap if you were already in the know.

By the way, that whole tangent about whether it should have been called 'unrest' or 'riots' is a false premise. Some of the people were lashing out against the police and symbols of injustice. And then there was the public housing old folks home that burnt to the ground. Or the old lady attacked by an intruder trying to steal a TV. Or the pharmacies that got raided by gangs to score cheap pills, and the subsequent mini-war after the plunge in black market prices. Or the firefighters who were pummeled by bricks and concrete while trying to put out the blazes. Some people were lashing out against a corrupt system, and some just wanted to burn the city down. When my friends were getting attacked in their homes and their cars destroyed on the street, my sympathy for those particular participants evaporated.

But even considering all that, I strongly feel our society has completely abandoned a vulnerable population, and fed the flames of conflict that arise when people can barely survive.
I made it to page two, and after reading about how apparently democrats hate Jews, and entitled millenials "the helpless generation" want the impossible dream of universal healthcare, I'm not entirely sure why anyone would die on a hill for this publication.
> In the case of source code, a competitor has just as much opportunity to solve the same problem in either the same way or a better way.

Same is true of google source code.

> In the case of data which is no longer available, there is no equivalent way to reproduce it. You either took advantage of it when it was available, or you never can.

The data is available through the same mechanism that google used to acquire it, i.e. by tracking user behavior; it's a common practice for just about every business with a web presence.

> Google’s code may be replicable, but their data and access to data are not.

True of literally every software company.

> It’s just a straw man that you can keep railing against

It's not a straw man, it's your semantic equivocation in order to make the claim that tracking user behavior to improve the product is somehow disjoint from the product itself. Based on that reasoning we should stop every company from tracking user behavior because that somehow creates a barrier to entry for their competition.

Before you move the goalposts any further away from patents into data collection, any answer for my Tesla question?

which distribution are you using?

I had serious stability problems on Fedora a few months ago which sounded just like yours - I've since switched to debian for other reasons (with same exact profile data) and things are fine, which made me suspect something in the runtime or build toolchain is different and triggered some subtle bug.

not to blame fedora specifically (and who knows if this was a 'me' problem); but distros do differ slightly esp. w/r/t kernel params/threading/builds etc.

Might be worth trying FF ESR or running in a different distro container to see if this helps (yes, not convenient, but..)

also possibly rebuild your profile (pretty sure I tried this.. but anyhow)
This is definitely not ravings of a madman, more like an extremely useful way to think of your self. your self is only this moment, nothing more. Past moments are different people who happen to share most of your memory, basically you have one way direct brain-to-brain communication with your past/future self.

In this way, doing things that are enjoyable in the moment but have negative consequences in the future, is not much different from doing something enjoyable that has negative consequences to another person in the present. That is to say, both are morally wrong. Ironically, someone with strong moral sense is far more likely to do the first, to hurt the person they can empathize with the most! (because they will literally become that person lol) Maybe some parallel with "hurting the ones you love most", I dunno though I haven't thought that through.

Your past self hopefully is like your best possible friend who does favors and generally tries to make your life easier. The future self is a stranger you know you will meet soon, and hopefully you can make a good impression. Present self gets to choose whether to do the right thing or not.
If all that's needed is a public key without known private key (i.e. some element Ga with a unknown) then a simple ceremony is possible.

Anyone who wants gets to submit a value H_i = G a_i.
With a proof that H lies in the correct subgroup.

Then the final value can bu the sum of all H_i s. The final private key would be the sum of all a_i s. If even one of those private keys is unkown, the final value is also unknown.
Which of those countries had spent the last 40 years tightly integrating itself and the companies that operate within it into a regulatory framework and then thrown it all out without arranging anything for the future?
Works on my galaxy s8 as well, in Chrome at least. Great tip, thanks!

Yes, we’re definitely more restricted in AZ than most other states on what we can/can’t do.

On a personal note, I'm glad to see the outcome of this bug bounty was as I expected from the beginning: bugs, and pretty serious ones.

E-voting is a bad idea, and government attempting to implement it is an even worse idea.
I'm going through the MSA one now:

>Customer I In this case customer will be Company, and you are the one providing services (Contractor). Choose wisely

I think there are some typos here and I'm not sure why I need to choose this option wisely.

Going through the questions, it looks like you are using "I" as a separator which is confusing.

>Do you want to include interest on late payments?

I think a discount for on time payments is better than charging interest. Interest makes it seem like the customer can delay payment if they feel like it.

>Should Contractor be able to remedy deficiencies in Services, if Company (you) does not accept them?

In question 1 the customer was the company and I was the contractor, but now they're swapped.

It sneaks in some terms I wouldn't agree to:

>all Work Product and other materials provided by or on behalf of Contractor will not contain any viruses, “Trojan horses” or other harmful code;

>Contractor would cause Company irreparable harm for which Company has no adequate remedies at law. Accordingly, Company is entitled to specific performance or injunctive relief for any such breach.

>require Contractor to pay the adjustment of $ Type in amount of reduction in fee, in case Contractor fails to comply with quality requirements for Services in USD I example: 500.

>keep copies of all books and records relating to Services during the term of this agreement and for three years thereafter. Company may upon reasonable notice and during normal business hours examine and make copies of all books and records relating to Services

When looking at the preview document I expected that at minimum I would be able to click on the green text and edit it. Ideally, I should be able to edit the whole document.

Sorry to say that I don't think I would use the service. It's a bit sloppy in places which isn't reassuring when generating legal documents. I don't think what it spat out was something that I would want to use. It seemed to be tilted in favor of the client where I'd rather send something in my favor/neutral and have them redline it if need be.
I've found that it's difficult to keep in touch with a lot of people that I'd like to because Facebook chat is really the only widely used chat service at this point, and many of the people I'd like to talk with have decided that they don't want anything to do with Facebook.

Lost touch with quite a few past friends from that
I find Firefox to be faster on both Windows and macOS. (No idea about Linux—I've heard it lacks hardware acceleration there, so that's probably bad.)
For what? They only really make their money on ads for things you're actively searching for. Everything else they have in ads works rather poorly in the text world. Trying to interpret interests out of task-driven voice commands is way beyond their capabilities.

But, enough of that. I'm holding out until decent voice dictation is standard everywhere and a well understood engineering problem with good open source implementations.

Mostly so I don't have to type address into my car's GPS.
Sure, Chrome feels better now. But if you want to have any say in what Chrome 99 feels like you should switch right now to Firefox.

In 10 years Chrome will be to internet browsers what Vista was to the OS. Bloated, over-built, poorly thought out, and a complete dumpster fire. By giving Google such a one-sided market share we're encouraging them to stop taking us seriously. They already don't, but at least right now they have to pretend.

Does anyone else remember how fast they added an opt-out of single sign-on to Chrome after the outcry from 69? We won't have the luxury of moving those mountains when Google has the last mountain around.
> "That is idiotic; 1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be shortened to "1 + 1 is 2, not 3."

Alright, you got me, they do say that in the rules after all. But, I still don't think "broseph" is bad. People call each other bro(seph) in real life all the time and it's usually a synonym for "dude", "hey", "listen". I'd say OP was going for a funny comment rather than a derisive one.
The UK has been in the EU or forebears for half a century. All trade deals are EU trade deals, all companies have developed in a situation where freedom of movement of goods and people is guaranteed. That all changes, and no ones particularly sure what will happen.

If you're talking about the track, then swappable batteries?

Also, I wonder how a supercapacitor could increase range? I suspect performance and efficiency would both increase without energy bottlenecks between the motors and the batteries.
Generally that means they are more likely to do something this bone-headed, not less. Especially if they are a bank.

I'm not sure any of those are issues that couldn't have been addressed by now through a new version of the protocol, though; what I'm trying to get it is that it's sort of weird to me that IRC in 2019 isn't materially different than IRC in 1994. IRCv3 addresses a whole lot of those problems, for instance, and there's nothing that technically could have prevented it from addressing them 10 years ago.
Can we import whatever model France has?

I’m fed up with croissants made without butter and “cheese” that tastes like rubber at high prices.

If it requires subsidizing farmers through higher income taxes, so be it.

That makes a lot more sense than a government policy of high food prices.
