I put "rich" in quotes. I consider everyone in the west "rich", but thats a discussion of its own.

I have bought a robot that vacuums for me twice the week. I rent. I spend like 50 euros per week for prepared food. I spend 10 euro/week for scooter rides from/to work,or i walk or bike. I pay like 100 euro per month for washing/drycleaning. Health insurance is paid via salary, so no further costs there. I jump between entertainment formats, so i only pay 10 euro per month for visual entertainment. So, almost everything has been taken care of.
Ada has always had a reputation for being a more secure system-level programming language, and thankfully security is very much in right now. I think Rust has played a significant role in this mini-resurrection of Ada.

So the fact that in the 90s you put your sentences into Microsoft's proprietary .doc format, or that you decided to run your business on Microsoft Windows computers is not lock-in either? What definition of lock-in would you propose that would include the above which is widely regarded as lock-in, but exclude FB as lock-in?

I really like the post, I think it is very intuitive. However, it was a bit confusing at the end. Consider these scenarios: (1) looking for an item in you cart using a hash, and (2) looking for an item in the whole databse using a hash. From the article, I assume that (1) is O(1) because of the hash, but for (2) it is O(log n). Maybe I am confusing a hash and an index. If so, what is the difference?

Well regulated also essentially meant "competent" then as well. So it could be interpretted as "so our militia can have enough firearms practice to shoot straight and know how to fire, maintain, and reload the right to have gund shall not be infringed".

Essentially like a justification for public schools and compulsory education being "literacy is essential to function be an informed citizen which is needed for self government". Just like how merely being able to shoot well isn't enough to be a good soldier but it is important.
I'm starting to agree with you, and have thought about not reading the comments on these types of articles anymore.

These sorts of comments are about protecting ones ego. Instead of accepting the responsibility for not exercising, blaming the lack of a personal chef shifts the responsibility externally.

A stoic would look at the situation and figure out what is in their control to change, and then get to work. It could be something simple like no more TV. It could also be a much longer term plan like get additional education in order to find a better job which in turn leads to more free time. Regardless of the plan, the general attitude of figuring out what is in a person's control and then acting is the skill here.
Yeah everybody loves the A-10.

The A-10 does a lot of things well but it only works if you already have air superiority.

If you control the skies? Cool, bring it in for the BRRRT. Great for chasing down those insurgents in pickup trucks.

Against a modern and capable foe (Russia, China, or -- perhaps more realistically -- countries equipped by them) that is far less likely to be the case.

It's helpless against fighters and missiles. It might survive some damage, which is great for the pilot, but it still means the plane's been neutralized and hey, you still need to figure out how to get that air support.

Also, my understanding is that modern Russian tanks (reactive armor, etc) can survive the A-10's gun. The A-10 has been around as a feared tank killer for decades and hasn't really evolved. You don't think Russia has spent the last few decades figuring out how to deal with it?
Yes, he is not the authority on the web and has very little to do with it these days other than accepting back slaps for something he did decades ago.
The question here, is if it would stop 90% of the attacks, would it be a worthwile way to spend 5 minutes.

And the answer to that question is almost invariably yes.
A swiss knife does a lot of things, but doesn't excel at any of them when compared to specialized tools that do one specific thing.

The knife is pretty good and keeps its edge, but you can get a knife that's larger and locks. The can opener works great, but it's miles behind an electric can opener. The corkscrew never failed me, but it's not as comfortable as a two-step lever corkscrew. And so on.

Anyway, I think the analogy still holds. Any system that's built for multiple purposes will lose out to another, more specialized system built for a single purpose. Of course, this more specific system cannot perform all the other tasks.
I'm really confused here, anecdotally I see age-discrimination concerns about the same rate as female-representation concerns in my engineering-related social media (HN). But I'm open to being incorrect as I'm only a human; do you have any statistical media analysis to verify the lack of coverage?
Admittedly I don't consume a massive amount of podcasts but I don't have a problem with this move towards a more closed platform. If people want to make money from their work as podcasters they basically have three possibilities: beg for donations, ad tons of ads before, after and often in the middle of the podcasts or move to a subscription model (which means the podcast is no longer available for free).

Since I vehemently despise ads I have no issues with the subscription model as long as it remains convenient to play the audio any way I feel like (i.e. no intrusive DRM).

So I actually think that's a good evolution overall, I wish more of the internet moved away from ads and towards other monetization models.

For your audio app I suppose that it'll mean that you'll have to strike a deal with the podcast platforms to share some of the revenue or figure out an API to let people use their license keys on third party players. I understand that it's annoying but that sounds perfectly fair to me.

>> The pattern of clear starts and stops between words and limited range of pitch used sounds “male” to my ears.

This sounds like an exaggerated stereotype of how men speak. Interestingly, the stereotype is different for men from Southern European countries who are said to speak in a sing-songy voice with vowels flowing together between words like vocal ligatures.

For example, this stereotype is used for satirical effect in the following strip:

> This unofficial update feature present in UC Browser can also be used by would-be attackers to perform man-in-the-middle attacks (MitM) attacks, potentially leading to remote code execution on compromised devices, because the app communicates with its servers using an unencrypted channel over HTTP.

It's a lot easier to use the update feature to infect millions of people when it's just using plain HTTP.
Exactly. It’s just a clickbait title written by someone from the Rust AstroTurf army. They always try to make everything about Rust.
Cameron's World – A love letter to the Internet of old
Their comparison to and discussion of the iPhone behaviour seems to be quite disingenuous to me: The iPhone search searches websites and your phone. Apps that you have installed on your phone can register to provide search results.

If you don't have Apple Podcasts installed, you won't get any search results for "Apple Podcasts" (I tested this). And if you have another podcast player installed that supports iPhone-wide search (e.g. Overcast), you will get search results from that other podcast player.

This seems to me to be quite different from the Google search, which (from what I understand from the articles) always seems to link to Google Podcasts if you are using it on Android.

More and more platforms are popping up creating “exclusive” podcasts

I think the issue is that you put the emphasis on “exclusive” instead of “podcasts”.

If it isn’t delivered over an RSS feed that I can subscribe to in my podcast player of choice, it’s not a podcast.

This book is really pleasant and would definitely recommend. It is emotionally taxing at times but packed with wild imagery/poetry.
Very belated edit: That comes across as a bit heartless. I mean, we have no clue who each other are in meatspace. So why is a potential identity change so problematic?

It's just the TFA example:

> Alice: Yo Bob! Looks like you got new safety numbers.

> Bob (Eve): Yeah, I got the iPhone XS, nice phone, I'm really happy with it. Let's exchange safety numbers at RWC 2020. Hey - do you have Caroline's current address? Gonna surprise her while I'm in SF.

> Alice: Bad call, Android 4 life! Yeah 555 Cozy Street.

Now, I and my iffy correspondent have never shared anything actionable about third parties. But I do know a little about what he's doing, and have offered advice. And it would be very hard to continue doing that, without the risk of revealing potentially damaging information.
I'm sure it (far-right violence) exists. But most of the videos I have seen online show antifa initiating violence. As far as I can tell, antifa seem to be the soldiers for the extreme left. Are we just more willing to accept their behavior because they are fighting for the "correct" side?
> It's the only language I've ever used that tended to produce programs that worked correctly on their first run

I've had the same experience with Rust. (Never used Ada/Spark myself.)
Which are nevertheless accessible from any podcast app.

To suggest that Google trying to muscle into the podcast space by leveraging their search engine to direct people not to the podcast feed but to their own service is in any way equivalent to small creators adding value to their listeners by providing exclusive content is absurd to say the least.
Still doesn’t really mean anything. Due to a loophole in major assignment I can legally call myself Ing., but what I’ve really studied is more or less computer science.
I think we have a fundamentally different view of what "natively" means and what it means to be "more or less a process supervisor". That's fine, but it also means we won't get to an agreement that we are both at peace with in this case.
You seem to be rather shameless yourself as you're still annoyingly dropping links to your app any chance you get (almost no matter the topic).

If you're a company the size of Cisco, and you have two widely publicised vulnerabilities like this, then this sort of failure is _always_ management's responsibility.

That responsibility might come in the form of "big bad management" chasing the cheapest possible "fix" against the advice of the the hero engineers, but it can take other shapes too. It might be poor oversight and QA processes, or a failure to hire and/or assign competent engineers for the task.

I think what people are missing about this comment is that you don't need to cut the whole program in order to see benefits.

> Russia fell down because they disrupted the ability of the market to send and receive accurate price signals and over time that led to catastrophically misallocated resources.

This is extremely ahistorical. The fall of the USSR was due to Gorbachev's decision to introduce "western" markets into Russia and Yeltsin's opportunism. Growth and stability weren't flagging in the Soviet Union until they attempted to privatize.
The Texas constitution is written in such a way to provide defense-in-depth against an income tax, or any tax that even looks like an income tax. I don’t even think you’re allowed to file a bill with lege council that lets you file a bill to pass an amendment to remove the wording that prevents income tax—that sort of thing. You’d for sure get sued, and there’s no way the reps would keep their jobs.
Untrue. MongoDB arose from the frustrations the founders had with scaling SQL databases while building DoubleClick.

Austrian here. "Ing" (Ingenieur, so basically Engineer) is a protected title (not an academic one, though) but to be honest, it does not signal status or qualification to me. The actual academic titles are worth more.
Wow how dangerous is that. Big pharma never suprise me anyway.
How to do proper testing of APIs
Then I think they misunderstand how some of their audience uses technology. I search for podcasts in my app of choice (which happens to be google's product). And even if I didn't I am not going to start using another app, that I don't like as much, just to listen to a BBC podcast.
The GAU8 tears up Toyota pickups slightly faster than road salt (and time is of the essence in a CAS situation) and more cheaply than bombs/missiles.

The A10 is a lot less vulnerable to ground-fire and MANPADS than helicopters, can carry more and loiter longer. It's like a AC130 but cheaper to operate and with more missiles.

While the gun isn't going to be effective against a modern armored division having a high capacity missile truck is worthwhile as evidenced in desert storm.

That said, time to get on scene is very important and the A10 is very poor at that compared to other fixed wing aircraft.
Yet still, without a webmail client (a client that specifically takes an offline protocol and puts it on the “web”) email would not have a URI. You an “link” to a mailbox, but not create a particular mail with a particular identifier then later retrieve it with that same URI. The URI identifies the users mailbox, NOT their mail.

To use the "Ing" title you have to have a certain education and a few years of practice. To be honest, it doesn't mean much.
I actually said something like that during a meeting. "Yes, you can do it that way, but if someone finds out we will be in the news." This argument worked surprisingly well.
Yes, thats the point I'm trying to make.

I don't think he's the only one, obviously. But the way the wrote the article and presented it makes it seem like 1 computer scientists opinion = numerous market analysts and companies.

It's unbalanced. Not to mention, why does a computer scientist have significantly more weight than market analysts, when talking about market prices and predictions.

Perhaps Weaver is uniquely qualified for predicting markets in regards to Bitcoin. If so, great. Tell the reader why I should weigh his opinion more heavily than Facebook, Twitter, and (again in their words) several market analysts.

And most states in the US too. Just rarely enforced. Only a licensed PE can do business as an “Engineer”. (For example have a company with the word Engineer or Engineering in the name).
If I've learned anything in my life, it's that confidence trumps competence when it comes to most people making judgement evaluations. People love confidence and falsely correlate it with competence (maybe it's an old survival trait we humans inherited before manipulative language came about).

If you're competent, you likely hesitate because most cases are truly not clear cut when viewed through a lens of knowledge with a conscious.

It's easy to come off as confident when you're ignorant or know that simply appearing confident has a positive effect. The real key is to be competent and hide your hesitations/in decisions with confidence. The real problem is discerning which a person is: ignorant, manipulative, or a great leader--so confidence isn't a good measure for me. The only good measure is a historical record of good decisions or clear communication from leadership.
It is also a better use experience.
>And people should be okay with his persecution by the people who had the political upper hand in that era? No? Then why should anyone be okay with deplatforming Alex Jones (as bad as he is) by whoever has the political upper hand at the moment?

There is no AOA on the ground. it requires airflow. You would not have seen an AOA disagree until the aircraft was in the air or at least moving at a pretty good speed down the runway.
If Google Podcasts has gone from non-existence to being "one of the most popular platforms" in a matter of months, its actually an insanely good reason not to engage with them at all.
It seems that most people don't really like the way this sounds, but honestly I had the opposite response. I despise the 'natural' sounding synthetic voices because there always seems to be something off about it. The fact that this sounds so weird is what I appreciate about it.

Perhaps one day we'll have natural sounding voices, but until then I'd always prefer a more artificial sounding voice. Something something uncanny valley, I guess.
> Measuring a sensor is so complicated...

I get the sarcasm, but sometimes it is useful to exercise "big boy" tools for projects that don't need it.

What better way is there to learn/explore these things than with a very simple project that does something remotely interesting or useful?
Yes. I don’t think there is even a PE licensing path for software, so even with a CS degree you could never become a licensed engineer. You have to work under a PE for 5 years, then take the PE exam, then CE credits.

I have an MSEE, but can’t put engineer in my title. Though Ing. sounds kind of cool.
The second case in the first link there was a trial and verdict finding liability for the seller (note there was evidence the gun shop employees had suspicions the buyer was illegally buying the gun/ammo for someone else, they sold it anyway, and the gun/ammo was bought for someone else who used the same to kill 2 police).

Again one must Keep in mind <10% of cases go to trial and verdict, so the result speaks for itself, but you are right. In general there aren’t a ton of cases against merchants alleging they sold an item they knew would be used in a crime - it should be a surprise most criminals don’t announce their intent when making purchases - and gun/ammo cases are about as prolific as any for these claims (hence why I keep using that hypothetical).

A prime example is The 2nd article Walmart where they settled that case, so we will never know, but if Walmart settles it’s safe to say there were facts suggesting Walmart liability meaning in that case they knew or should have known they were selling ammo that would be used in a crime.

I’d place my money on SF settling this case in the same fashion, not to say they would be found liable at trial, it just seems with the available facts there is potential liability and these facts won’t play well to a jury.

I am not a lawyer. But, I think we can all agree the track record for the Attorney General in Australia fucking it up to coin a phrase, is remarkably high.

so This law gave the government the power to do just that. Is in my non-lawyer opinion, HIGHLY contestable. I would expect somebody like Atlassian to do just that: take it up to them, pony up, and contest the legality of this.

An employee has liabilities for things done to their employers code which causes material harm. I think the canary in the mine would be huge here: resign, do not cause your employers product to be backdoored, you cannot be obligated to introduce bugs.

I think "drastically different" is probably overstating the truth. It certainly doesn't jibe with anything I've read.

It's worth bearing in mind that, from what we know, neither of the two crashes had anything to do with handling difficulties in the new aircraft near the stall.
