Yeah. "Promising" and "Blockchain" won't work in one sentence in this context.
The education startup is called VIPKid and I assume it's for kids. So why would anyone teach about Tiananmen massacre to the kids?

That aside I believe the confrontation is mostly from how China and western treat sensitive topics. Western educators would feel morally obliged to present facts, while Chinese have a tradition to treat stability over everything. With China asserting its increasing influence in the world we'll probably see more clashes behind these two cultures.

I'm not saying which one is right or wrong, but both sides need to find a solution to this cultural conflict.

Move fast and break things, am I right?
Since the iPad display is much larger than the phone display, sitting it on the board like this wasn’t practical. There was an iPad dev board that looked a lot like this, but there were also ‘acrylics’ - chassis made from cnc’d Acrylic sheeting - that supported the screen connected to the board by a flex.

Most engineers wanted nothing to do with the display units; they were bulky and relatively fragile and desk space is always at a premium.
I don't think the author forgot the axiom; they seem to acknowledge that they just don't know of anything better in that case:

> That's about the best you can ask for with a centralized infrastructure for the internet. A recurring theme in this quest for data ownership and privacy is that you can only take it so far before you have to ultimately trust a company or entity to do what they say they're doing.
Ha ha you framed the question quite stringently. Even I (haven't been to an american-style party) have been in situations where someone refused alcohol because they were <21.
Google Stadia uses Style Transfer ML to change video game art in real time
A written statement from Facebook provided to KrebsOnSecurity says the company expects to notify “hundreds of millions of Facebook light users, tens of millions of other Facebook users, and tens of thousands of Instagram users.”

This isn't the only study, it's just an example. Perhaps you should read into mTOR, then you wouldn't have to take my word for it.
Posted this on the other thread from Facebook, but at what point do we start imposing strict fines on companies that are found to have done this?

Granted, I guess we wouldn't be hearing about this instance at all if there was to be some sort of fine attached - it would have just been swept under the rug - so maybe that's not a good idea. I'm just tired of the "oops we stored your passwords in plaintext lol" from companies with engineers that should clearly know better.
Yeah...no. Increasingly fewer people are buying this narrative anymore. Hard work is something everyone can get behind, but cheating is just cheating even if it has a veneer of legality behind it we all now know how easy it is for people of means to make the laws that work best for them.
This seems like the passwords were inadvertently written into some log files. While this is a very bad security issue for a company like Facebook, I am pretty sure that this type of bug is much more prevalent in the industry than we would like to assume.
From a viewpoint of a person that was able to move from the poor dirty village to the city, get a well-paid job at the factory and get a mortgage for an apartment in a 40-floor building, the government is doing everything right. Also this person has probably to work all over the clock to repay the mortgage so he has not much time to think about politics.
Nah; That's Equifax!
Why Tech Platforms Don't Treat All Terrorism the Same
Duly noted. It has been extended it. It wasn't a long comment. Edits were made within the first few minutes, but they were clarifying edits, the content remained the same. Either way, I will chalk this up to a big misunderstanding.
Perhaps a more general state is that it's a moral obligation to think and care about inclusivity relevant to your platform, instead of just "works for me"ing it.

The application I work on is not specifically inclusive of blind people. However, it is inclusive of people who have very basic levels of general and technical education (e.g. not understanding what a percentage is), because those are the people we know use it.

I think it's understandable if your videogame doesn't work with blind people, but lots of people have simple visual imparements you could work around (colour blind modes, scalable UI for old people etc).

Similarly, giving a shit about having good contrast on your website doesn't seem like a big ask, as well as not breaking everything when someone wants to scale fonts.

I don't think you have to support every possible use case under the sun, but at least thinking about and considering some of them is a big positive step.
> Having the NTSB certify updates isn't going to increase safety.

It will if they run it through regression tests that Tesla doesn't seem to have the discipline to.
Exactly. The BCH hard fork is a great demonstration of this. After the split the total value of BTC + BCH exceeded BTC before the split; that means new coins were printed out of thin air.
My two favorite things to entomb in gelatin are vodka (jello shots) and cream (panna cotta). Mostly the latter though.
Personally I wouldn't touch it. We're going on 10 years of 'blockchain' being inappropriately applied to anything and everything and you can still count the winners on one hand. It's illegal to set money on fire... but that would probably have a better chance of paying off. This is not financial advice.
Any privacy conscious company would not allow any random data, especially auth data, to be logged. I guess we are used to FB no caring about any of that but it's not normal nor acceptable.
When evaluating the price, consider that it is also a hotel room and comes with free meals. Compare it to air fare + hotel room for X days + decent meals for X days and the price becomes less painful.
Adding WiFi wouldn’t help. It would probably be a cellular based WiFi service massively shared and no better coverage than you would get with your own data plan.
Yes, I'm fully aware of this. There's also the problem of having a closed source baseband processor in pretty much every device.

But bypassing these mechanisms is a decision they had to make. If they're just lazy or incompetent, these userspace apps should be sufficient as a mitigation.

Well I am referring to the use of client certificates for identity.

You might not need to have SRTP in the middle of a big telecom network, like one that handles millions of calls per day, just at the edges where you interconnect with others.
Being Generalist a Curse?
I am passionate, about building software and went hands-on diverse set of technologies right from Embedded, Web to Data mining. Though each domain is so diverse, I learn things fast and start contributing almost immediately.

Being an INTP, I even out phase other developers in their domain of expertise in matter of few days. This ability raised me as a software generalist, right from my school days working as an assistant at Internet cafe to gain free access to Internet.

With my quick learning skills and ability to remember almost everything, It did allowed me to master multiple domains within a short span. Like Nodejs, Cordova, Embedded C, Android, iOS, Python, Linux, MYSQL, C#, Asp.net, Distributed Computing, Software Architecture, Algorithms. Apart from all this, I put my thought to make sure what I am building is right, this brings in more value to most startup organisations. Everyday, till now I keep learning and keep working hard to learn (about 12 hours a day on an average) and adopt to new things in the software industry.

According to me, every language is way of instructing the computer, except the syntaxes and language specific features, almost contributing in every language is same to me. Due to my diverse set experiences, my profile is not attracting my traction among recruters. It quite often gets rejected, even the first time I apply. I can project my profile as a specialist and get all their attention, which I try to avoid as it doesn’t reflect the inner me.

The organisations those who know me through their earlier interactions and association, retain me in their team and value my contribution.

It also wasn't a "mission". They were performing in a test. And, in any case, the fire wasn't a fault of the rocket; it was a fire in capsule.
This makes no sense.

How do you give a rating on a stock that isn't even trading, with a Price target on an IPO that is yet to be priced?

IPO hype / marketing gimmick, or is Wall Street going giddy over this IPO ?

And at least in the US, that’s how things were. Legislation changed that and forced the issue. Maybe we need an ADA update for the web?

> are presented in the appendix[1],

Thank you, missed the appendix. Also see that in the figure page list CI as 95%.

> These measures are already known to be strongly correlated... The paper does explicitly make clear when findings of independence are relevant

The first few paragraphs in the article here and the Significance section in the actually paper imply a strong independence. My point above is basically that the independence looks to be much weaker than a casual read might imply. It also boast with the largest study ever done on the subject, which might be true, but the absolute number are actually quite low with only a few individuals being responsible for a large effect in the data. That is one of the biggest warning signs that exist in this kind of research. I thus get skeptical, at which point I start to look why there seems to be a disconnect.

That's the most intellectually dishonest answer I've seen to "I followed the law in a specific scenario".

How is this not a priority? And even worse, how is it possible that a bazillion of the supposedly smartest engineers did not fix it? In many other industry you'd get killed over this as a software engineer.
Awesome, thank you. I have the same situation with godaddy, recently purchased 10 years to avoid yearly gouging.
Even if the guy was really good?

I personally think a well-executed acoustic guitar singalong can add a lot of real joy to any group experience.

I've played in rock bands since I was 15 (I'm north of 50 now), and I've been on stage in front of a thousand people and I've played to killer mosh pits and all that, but my best memories of all those years were the after-parties where it was just me and my bassist with acoustics and a room full of drunk people singing along to the Eagles or Sublime or maybe even Weezer...

Now, it helps to have a professional level acoustic guitar and, of course, a professional lead singer to hide everyone's mistakes, but it can be a magical, cathartic experience when the room all sings at the top of their lungs...

Great memories.
Why is that an issue ? devs will also likely have access to the hash of the password of a user, and then access his account.

We dont care if passwords are leaking, this is your issue to not use the same password on all websites. Password are not really a private thing for developers inside a company
In my experience, the vending machines near and in hotels, etc, did not require any form of ID. However, the random ones I found out on the street required you to have obtained an ID/Authorization card beforehand.
Yet another example of why its important to use _unique_ passwords for every site you have an account on. Even if the site you're using does password storage properly, that's no guarantee plaintext credentials couldn't leak through other means, such as, in this case, improperly configured logging systems.

In the future, WebAuthn may be able to solve this problem for good, as sites will only have access to a unique public key rather than a plaintext password. Until then, a password manager is your best defense against this type of issue.
But the barrier to entry is still decently high. You can't just take a bullshit company, put it through YC and have it succeed.
Dude, you'd be surprised how much data your average company leaks in logging.

Ask any HIPPA compliant company how they scrub their logs from errors that include medical data and you'll truly see how bad things are.

This is super fantastic. Well written and just the right amount of approachfulness and wit. Sometimes articles about things like this go too far into metaphor and lose the reader. I'd recommment going over

fn mv_mutable(mut a : MyThing) {}

a little bit as in when you might want to do this and especially

fn mutable_ref_mutable(mut a : &mut MyThing) {}

as I write a lot fo rust and still never understand how this works or why its useful. Lastly maybe an explainer of conforming to `Copy` and if you should do this because I believe currently the recommendation is conform to it for any type you can and I still have to stop and think how that's more performant. But again really great article, I bookmarked it for reference ;)
I look at this very simply. If you are a business that is marketing the app to external consumers, adding internationalization and accessibility protects you from possible legal and regulatory trouble, while also increasing the size of your potential user base.

But for side projects? No, when it comes to my side project, I'm the master, in the dictator, what I say goes. Users don't like it? Tough, go build your own app.

I apologize for the billing issue. I understand how frustrating that would be and it's well below our standards. We're working as a team to make that right and earn back your trust now.
Sounds nice but the reality is that demand for energy consistently grows faster than our ability to conserve energy. The challenge that is being met with the deployment of clean energy technologies is meeting that demand in a sustainable way. It's a good thing; cheap clean energy unlocks economic growth. Instead of strangling ambition, we need to empower it. The more clean energy we consume, the better. This needs to be a growth market and it is.

You can bicker over the timelines when coal is switched off permanently and lots of people seem to argue that the timeline in this article is a bit optimistic but the reality is that there's lot of growth in this sector with year on year increases in deployed capacity, price drops, etc.
I'm not arguing to pay YouTube to hire thousands of moderators. I'm arguing that YouTube should not be allowed to post content without taking responsibility for it. If YouTube can't find a way to act responsibly, why should it be allowed to function at all?

I am not trying to say what video should be censored. I'm saying that if you host the thing, you should be held responsible for it. A large tech company shouldn't be able to say "hey, we made it easy for anyone to do this thing, heck, we even pay them to do it, but we have no responsibility for what they do because we made it too easy for too many people to do it and, uh, we don't want to pay people to look at all this garbage."
Base load power and high capacity factor. It's not preferring it to solar/wind but using it as base load and supplementing with solar, wind, hydro and gas peaker plants when there's availability or demand.

Modular nuclear reactors could also very useful and they're quite safe since they're derived from naval PWRs which have an excellent track record. So far only the Russians have two naval reactors on a barge called Akademik Lomonosov. The rest of them are in various stages of design or regulatory review. There's hope NuScale will be comercially available around 2025.
Central Banks are independent from politics for a reason.
You are technically correct, it is a dumb mistake and sadly not that hard to imagine happening. It's also inexcusable, and I would expect even junior engineers to know better than to log credentials as part of request processing
It's likely to have been a breach of GDPR, so if this situation had existed when GDPR was in force, the answer to your question would be "at this point".
Same exact billing issue happened to me, except my domains had transferred successfully. I paid the renewal fee and was later charged again.
Yep, FastAPI is based on Starlette, heavily inspired by the (now "deprecated") APIStar.

What it adds is automatic data validation, serialization, and documentation, with Python type hints. All using Pydantic.

So, you declare request parameters and bodies with standard Python type hints (even for deeply nested JSON bodies) and it automatically does all that.

It also has a simple but powerful dependency injection system.

And thanks to Tom Christie's work, it is compatible with all those tools too (databases, orm, uvicorn, all from Starlette, etc).
Didn't believe that this is really possible. Certainly interesting to see what is possible with macros and workflow optimizations. However, why is this extensive note taking necessary? Shouldn't the course materials provide a digital copy of the script?
Probably with a greater emphasis on equity finance rather than loans; i.e. ICOs but with better regulation than people assumed in 2017. That way you're essentially growing the money supply much like the current system does with loans.

This would also be somewhat similar to Hayek's ideas about competing private currencies.
Ignorant American question. Why is this the case? What are the costs that railroads are having to pay that makes them more expensive?
In Sweden it has become taboo to use the plane for any travel destination where you can go by train

Not in the Sweden I live in. Sure there is some weak social pressure to fly less and some companies have a policy that you take the train if it's less than 3-4 hours or so (of course with SJ being SJ a 3 hour train ride has an annoying tendency to take 4-8 hours), but no one expect you take the train Stockholm-Umeå.
Was it the norm then to capitalize every noun in English like German still does today?
It would be great if more research would be made into un-centralizable systems and technologies instead of just "distributed systems".

If we could build technology out of building blocks for which dis-economies-of-scale ("the larger the more expensive", or "the more you own, the more expensive it's to buy more") would apply, and for which any kind of centralization would increase cost the world would be a much more interesting place, and I mean in general, not juts IT, but food production and architecture too... I guess we'll have it when we'll have self-replicable autonomous drones too but that will be the dusk of humanity so there won't be much time for us dinosaurs to enjoy its benefits :(
Ha! If you decide to change it, I would just drop the "native". (IANAL)
I'm with you on that after a second thought.

Our lawyers where rather calm, too, saying that not everything is eaten as hot as its being cooked.

"Selfmade media" on the other hand went really wild and fantasized some absurd threats for everybody with a website, you're right on that.

Hi. From: Emacs org-mode users who export to latex/pdf.
Yup. I exercise an hour a day during lunch most days of the week. Wrestled in high school and college and worked out much more and while that is helpful sometimes I'm often physically tired but my brain is charged. In fact, I feel like working out helps recharge my brain.

Got off caffeine fully a year ago and that has helped some.

I've got a few diagnosed anxiety disorders. Those certainly contribute. I'm hesitant to try any actual medication though as I've seen it change friends significantly in the past.
Not all products will use the DNS they are told, though.
This article is garbage, and the believe system behind it is the most dangerous thing to modern society.

Imagine a world where meritocracy is demolished; in favor of 'equality.' Being 'good' or making customers happy doesn't matter anymore.

Can we please unite behind things like hard-work, quality and discipline to fight off this thinking?
I think the analogy with FB might be interesting, but intrinsically inaccurate.

The value people get from FB is related to the value of other people being on the network, but there is an intrinsic value drived from the different use cases on the platform - photos, messaging, likes, fomo and what not. Which has directly been monetized using advertising.

The value you get from other people using Bitcoin is that the price goes up, without any other intrinsic value aside from "Maybe my investment grows" - in effect following the 'greater fool' theory (Buffett), or the 'castle in the air' theory (Malkiel et al).
Because there's two types of storing passwords in plain text. There's the "your password is stored in plaintext in the database" way which everyone agrees is 10 different kinds of stupid, and then there's the "we accidentally logged the body of all requests that went through this system, and it turns out login requests came through here" kind. One is a bad security decision (because you must decide how to store passwords in the DB), and the other is a very easy mistake to make which can go unnoticed for a long time (because you can be attempting to log things completely unrelated to logins).

Same same but different.
Thanks for the info. This makes it a hard pass for me until I can use other nameservers.
