Yes, email providers must see sender and recipient email addresses, and corresponding server names (and how to reach them). However, if you and your correspondents use ~anonymous email accounts, none of that get's tied to meatspace. And if you're really paranoid, you can have multiple accounts, and mix them up.

About 30 "activist" email providers exchange messages via Tor onion addresses.[0,1] But you still need to trust your provider, unless you trust your OPSEC enough.

Back in the day, we had Mixmaster remailer nyms, with PGP and message delivery to alt.anonymous.messages. You downloaded all messages, and then selected based on public key. But not enough people ever used it, so the anonymity space was tiny. But there is still activity. I recently came across something ~new on Github, but I don't remember exactly what.

> Isn't this insurance fraud?

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission labeled a similar case as "possible market manipulation", so there definitely is something very fishy going on this type of markets. I'm talking about the "manufactured credit default" of US house-builder Hovnanian. From here [1]:

> A “manufactured default” of a US housebuilder that caused uproar in the credit derivatives market has been called off, after Blackstone-backed hedge fund GSO and Solus Asset Management settled a legal dispute over the trade.

> GSO had agreed to refinance some of housebuilder Hovnanian’s debt at a favourable rate, on the ususual condition that the company miss a payment on some of its bonds. GSO had hoped to profit from credit default swaps that would pay out if Hovnanian defaults.

The Hovnanian deal eventually fell through in later 2018, but only last week did the industry's regulatory body (the International Swaps and Derivatives Association) propose some measures to combat this type of actions.

Experience shows that most Clojure users come from Java and have very little idea about Lisp. It might help to bring in some perspective, since Clojure is not a very typical Lisp: no interpreter, no linked lists as base data structure, no Lisp in Lisp, no Lisp runtime, no images, not the typical debugging tools like break loops, the runtime is from the JVM or another environment (.net, JavaScript), ...

Lisp existed already before Clojure and has a rich history, much of which is not in Clojure.

Kotlin is a drop in replacement for Java these days. I've switched a few projects now and mix Java and Kotlin during the transition. IMHO Kotlin is a breath of fresh air if you are coming from either Javascript or Java. Typescript is close but it is still javascript and it has a few inherent limitations because of that. Kotlin-js is basically a dropin replacement for that as well.

Some ideas from this should be rewritten into a more readable/ADHD-friendly piece to warn highly-functioning-Aspergers people and those with somewhat similar "less sociable" personalities against growing fond of any ultra-right-wing/(techno)fascist and neo-natzy ideologies that may seem seem appealing! Some of them, and even some who are normally sociable but more ultra-individualistic, or more order-loving, can be attracted to order and clear patterns, and right-wing-ish groups tend to disguise themselves as being "ordered and rational" despite their hate-spreading and homicidal agendas...

Any heavy-right-wing and/or ultra-nationalistic or xenophobic ideology is at its core anti-individualistic anti-"people who develop their minds along their own tracks separate from society".

There is a huge difference between people who are less-integrated / less-affective / less-social / Gemüt-poor, and people with hateful, resentful and genocidal-friendly attitudes. "Gemüt-rich people" simply have a higher inertia by being anchored to their societies so they may seem "better" because it's harder to make them do horrible things when they are in a healthy society. But as in physics, inertia works both ways, "Gemüt-rich" or more conformist people will keep doing horrible things (and competing + cooperating to be more horrible) once they start doing them!

"Badly socially integrated", asocial, highly-functional-autism or "Gemüt-poor" individuals can also function as a society's immune system that helps it fight back and recover from malignant ideologies like nazism and extremist-communism!

>> In practical political terms (western and otherwise), "because freedom" is rarely a winning political tact.

Isn't it? It seems to me that Brexit in particular happened because the people who voted for it embraced a message of "taking back control", and similar arguments about political freedom from the EU that was portrayed as oppressive and undemocratic, etc.

(Though it's hard to know- I think a much more accurate model of the Brexit vote was that the country flipped a coin).
To me, the best argument (not only for cannabis, but for stronger drugs too) is that illegalization has been tried for a long time and it just doesn't work in practice.

I don't consume any drugs other than alcohol and don't have any interest in doing so, but if I did, it would be trivial to obtain them in my (smallish) city. Everyone knows where to go.

So illegalization doesn't meet its purpose (making drugs difficult to get) and yet it does have negative effects (the drugs sold have no quality control at all -which often causes deaths-, pay no taxes, are sold without any legal warranty, etc.) I'd rather they were sold in pharmacies, being dispensed together with reliable information (like tobacco), forbidden to minors (which could actually work reasonably well, because no one would go to the trouble of setting a black market exclusively to sell to minors) and paying taxes that could be used to fix the problems they cause.

To me, this is enough grounds for legalization, regardless of the exact health effects of drugs.
>From kindergarten on, students spend thousands of hours studying subjects irrelevant to the modern labor market. Why do English classes focus on literature and poetry instead of business and technical writing? Why do advanced-math classes bother with proofs almost no student can follow?

Yet another attack on the liberal arts that misses the point of education entirely. An education in a variety of fields is about what it means to be a person in a world among other people and the natural environment. It's what makes democracy possible (https://press.princeton.edu/titles/10858.html). If we reduce education to mere employment training, we might as well revert to medieval feudalism where your entire life is bound to your economic production.
Gdansk, Poland. For the next six months, the weather will be great (warm/hot, but practically never exceeds 26-28 C) and days will be long. Good public transport. You can live close to the beach. Good amount of IT around, and educated people who do speak English. Internet is not a problem (300 MBit/s at $20 a month). Charming nature/lakes/villages for hundreds of miles outside the city (the Kaszuby region). At $1500 a month, you’ll be living very comfortably.

The November-March part of the year is a bit dreary, but April-October is glorious for the most part. Just the right kinds of temperatures, and sun. If you’re from Europe, I’d say it’s probably better here (and in places in Europe with similar climate) than in SEA during spring and summer.

I’d recommend a few other Polish cities as well, but they’re not on the coast and so they can get hotter in the summer.
I'm far too jaded to be "upset" or even "disappointed" that, whenever they have a way to do so, Google reads everything that everyone sends to each other. But perhaps it seems perfectly normal and ok to you that a third party reads what should be private communications. Perhaps "private" isn't even a thing for some.
There are two types of scrambling here - one is the bitswapping and byteswapping that you use to make DDR3/4 routing possible. The other is the whitening function for high speed data that ensures you don't have long sequences of the same value without a transition. The latter is a simple pseudorandom scrambler with a fixed random seed generated at boot. It is not cryptographically secure. The former is a simple substitution and quite easy to reverse (and trivial if you have either a schematic or a board to reverse). Both are deterministic and extremely vulnerable to known plaintext attacks. This is not a security feature.

Source: I'm working on a DDR4 layout right now, and the memory controller scrambling and swapping functions are documented in publically-available intel datasheets (for example, see https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents... sections 2.1.6 and 2.1.8)
Originally it was intended as a commercial feature, but since JDK 11 Oracle open sourced all previously-commercial features in the JDK, and now it's part of OpenJDK. It's already available in JDK 11 and 12.

Hibernate is an ORM. LINQ is just what the name says it is language integrated query. Linq is understood by the compiler, translated into expression trees at run time and then any third party provider can translate it to the destination language. You can pass Hibernate expressions around and depending on context, they can get translated to regular IL when working with Lists, Sql when working with RDMSs or MongoQuery when working with Mongo, etc.

Of course. At least in the UK and probably elsewhere large businesses, banks, government etc often have a large centralized systems based on a single or set of relational databases. A lot of the logic was controlled on the database either by constraints/checks etc or stored procedure access so it didn't have to to be replicated across the many disparate systems which connect to it. This is slowly changing, very slowly in some cases!

I can understand why that might be a surprise if you've been working for <10 years and mainly on new SAAS style products.
> "But you still need to trust your provider"

When it comes to the security or privacy of your messages, if you really, really need it, then you cannot trust your provider and that's the whole point of end-to-end encryption.

If you're an activist whose life would be threatened if those messages got out, then you'd better make sure that any information you leak to your email service provider cannot be tied to you, no matter how much you trust that provider.

> "if you and your correspondents use ~anonymous email accounts"

Note that anonymity is earned by you via the steps you take to open and use that email account.

For example, if you're logging in to that email account from your home IP and you're being targeted by some security organization or crime syndicate with enough resources, who your email provider is will be absolutely irrelevant.
If your memory usage is regular and predictable, then both ref counting and tracing would behave regularly and predictably, and if it isn't, neither is.
> Not everyone is cut out for college.

same goes for teachers. many universities aren’t about education anymore. they are what everything else has become: fundraisers. it’s sad given the education that i have had that i can count the good professors on one hand.
The 2008 financial crisis affected everyone, including the wealthy. In terms of reported net worth, young (<40) White, Asian or other Minority college grads were affected the most with a decline of 54.1% of wealth, compared to that of young African-American or Hispanic non college grads (15% decline).

That's not to say the pain felt was greater or even the same as those with less, but it is simply not true that somehow the wealthy remain unscathed from financial crisis. It doesn't even make sense at face value considering they have a large percentage of their wealth in the market and likely have a higher risk tolerance. In fact financial crisis reduces wealth inequality precisely because it affects the wealthy capital owner more

In my math classes there was one guy who took notes with LaTex. He was quite fast due to his tweaked Emacs environment. He also
uploaded his notes and the sources to some public SCM server. What sounds like a good idea turned out to be nonsense. His scripts where ridden of typos and serious errors. There where only a few people who tried to volunteer and edit the sources, but it did not do any good. The lecturers weren't impressed by the quality, and even warned students to not use those notes for exam preparation.

In the end nobody could use the notes, including the guy himself, as he underperformed in exams. Instead of concentrating on the content, he was concerned with LaTex aesthetics, fixing typos and tweaking his environment.

I would never ever recommend anyone to type math lectures/exercises in LaTex, if this is not required. Just use pen and paper and profit:

> It's more than a little ridiculous that the UK spends more on defense than Germany

Germany doesn't have a nuclear deterrent - mostly because the allies did not want it to have one. That costs multiple billions per year even in the bare-bones "4 subs and 50 missiles" version that the UK proposes.

Germany doesn't have a force projection capability, no carriers, assault/landing ship forces or even transport plane capacity. This is because their constitution (shaped by the WW2 allies) prohibits wars outside of national defense and their education curriculum emphasizes "never again" going to war. This is a stark contrast to the UK which still maintains an empire of military outposts only second to the US.[0]

Basically Germany doesn't have a strong military because the US, UK and France did not want it to have one, for the last 75 years. To want them to do a 180, just to sell them more F35s, is being ignorant of history.

CLOs are not inherently good or bad. The difference is in how they are structured and priced. On the benefit side, CLOs have effectively permanent financing in place which takes the liquidity run risk off the table (and thus is more systemically stable) than loans funded with bank deposits.

It's important to recognize that the space of all programs that take x,y as input and then output 1 or 0 is equivalent to the mathematical space of all possible functions. We interpet the programs as indicator functions.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indicator_function

Neural networks are usually smooth because they must be differentiable. Stochastic binary neurons and other techniques take us into a larger space of possible mappings, discontinuous ones.

But yeah, ultimately the model we solve for, will affect what kind of interpolation the solution ends up having.

The biggest question is what kind of interpolating techniques the brain uses. The search for the magic model....
