How to solve an NP-complete problem in linear time
I wasn't traveling with a band, just my dog! I was moving from Florida to Alaska, trying to catch the ferry out of Prince Rupert. Weather turned me around in Banff and I went to plan B and drove back into the US to Bellingham to catch the ferry there. Had no trouble at all crossing back into the US at the same crossing. My dog ended up with a gastric dilatation-volvulus the night before I got on the ferry and had to be euthanized. Not the best trip but living in Alaska was amazing.
I have a lot of friends who have moved to rural areas. A few of them went stir-crazy and moved back.

I called one friend who had moved away, pining after a property and he said moaned "nobody to talk to about anything more complicated than a hammer and nail".

Elixir and the Beam: How Concurrency Works
I assume that that's to give them leeway if anything goes wrong. I think the bigger issue that it's a mail-in repair, so you end up burning a bunch of days on that:

* First they send you a shipping box.

* Then you put your laptop in it, and get it to a drop off, then you have a few days shipping (I can't imagine they're doing overnight), plus weekend delay.

* However long it takes their receiving to get the delivery to wherever they're doing the repairs/replacement

* the repair - I suspect that's going to be measured in minutes, but you have a latency due to volume of repairs, which I assume depends on how many machines need to replacements.

* I assume some technician puts it back in a box, and it gets sent to their shipping facility

* a couple of days for shipping.

Put that together, 2 days to ship there, 1 day processing + repair, 2 days to return. So you easily hit the weekend, so now you're at 7 days. If anything goes wrong you've exceeded one week.

Which means saying "1-2 weeks" gives them a buffer to ensure it doesn't take longer than they've stated.

If they did it in store I imagine it could be same or next day, but by doing it as a ship in/out repair makes it absurd.

(I don't think they're exorbitantly priced, yes they cost more, but it's not like the old PPC prices)
Part of the Snowden revelations was that the German intelligence agency was using one of the US-developed tools in return for feeding back keyword-based searches of that very same German traffic they were processing.

Keywords like djihad, Siemens, Krupp, Deutsche Bank, Airbus, Santander, Dassault, ...

The BND was in essence helping the NSA do industrial espionage on both their own and fellow EU companies, as they were too idiotic to actually check the keyword lists or for whatever reason felt they couldn't refuse.

So if the NSA is actively and purposefully doing industrial espionage there is little doubt that Gmail traffic is vulnerable to US spying and should simply not be used in sensitive settings.

> A variety of laws allow government agencies to investigate regulatory violations or criminal activity. Google receives requests for user data from government agencies investigating criminal activity, administrative agencies, courts and others.

...

A federal statute called the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, known as ECPA, regulates how a government agency can use these types of legal process to compel companies like Google to disclose information about users. This law was passed in 1986, before the web as we know it today even existed. It has failed to keep pace with how people use the Internet today. That's why we've been working with many advocacy groups, companies and others, through the Digital Due Process Coalition, to seek updates to this important law so it guarantees the level of privacy that you should reasonably expect when using our services
I have a tiny usb-c 1TB M.2 external HD and a Mega sync service running 24/7 which backs up all of my important files. Plus I've got various 'MacOS bootstrapping' ZSH scripts which install a hundred different Homebrew packages and other configs, which I built up over a couple yrs and across ~5-6 Macbook fresh installs.

I could get a new Macbook pro rolling within an hour of work and have it 99.9% the same as my current one. Which has happened often enough for me in my job as I always get Macbook Pros from my work or upgrades them. That wouldn't be any different if they gave me new PC laptops where I'd prefer to do a fresh install of Archlinux every time for security reasons instead of dragging around some M.2 chip for years.
They didn't specify what kind of information in the header. So you could either assume ALL information is like junkfood and drugs, or you could assume people are filling up on information and becoming more intelligent (which I assume NO ONE assumed) or make any number of assumptions.

Case in point: the headline is too ambiguous.

Presumably, there are multiple sophisticated investors competing with each other, and all of their bets affect the market price. There shouldn't be a replicable strategy for beating everyone else if the market is large enough.

If there is a distribution of skill in investors, using mutual funds might prevent you from being in the lower percentiles of under-performing investors. However if you really have a strategy that involves taking the market price that manages to consistently under-perform, then you could make money off of that strategy too.

Actually, in many corporate cases BOTH parties want to keep the info confidential - the CEO sends over salary details to CFO to load into payroll system. After it's all loaded and printed for the files (or saved in the HR system), they BOTH want it to auto-expire out of their emails, but both are too busy to scrape back through old emails after a month to delete things.

So this confidential mode let's this happen naturally. When the CFO's email is hacked (which it will be eventually at some company) then all is not lost.

I'm sure many other users will find it useful.

How much does this affect an aircraft range? I assume the mechanism is that lighter aircraft needs less lift, and less lift means less drag, less drag - less power on the engines - less fuel consumption - more range.

I somehow always thought that more weight of an aircraft lessened its range almost only because it needs much more power to take off and gain a cruising altitude.
I've been trying to switch over to Firefox for the last few weeks. The experience hasn't been great, but most of the issues I'm willing to live with. However, even after disabling all extensions, it still pegs my cpus and freezes my machine, several times a day.

I'm planning on moving back to chrome this weekend. No amount of privacy can make up for the disruption.
Rogue One was the only recent franchise blockbuster that came close to having a soul.

All the others seem to be a formulaic blend of running, shouting, shooting, CGI explodium, cartoon villains of astounding power and limited emotional depth, wisecracks™, on-the-nose moralising, and fresh-out-of-the-can sentiment.

But these movies sell. More thoughtful slower movies don't. It's a feedback loop. The studios pander to teen/young adult audiences, older audiences stay away, and the movies become younger, teenier, and less and less distinctive.
I call Betteridge's law on your comment ;)

Betteridge's law doesn't apply here because it answers the question: it comes down to privacy.

But even if it did, then Bettridge's law would apply. If you read the article, you will see that he doesn't say that Firefox is flat out better than Chrome. If fact, he even gives the performance advantage to Chrome and says that there are ways of "defanging" Chrome when it comes to privacy.

Really, the point of the article is not a technical comparison of browsers, but rather a statement of the importance of Firefox when it comes to privacy. And the value of not using a browser made by an adtech company.
It is using "malicious" to mean "intending to circumvent your intention to keep this email confidential." Is there a different word that could be substituted to maintain that meaning?
I think the theft angle here is analogous to the theft angle in piracy of digital content.

When I take information entrusted to me by my company and use that information to profit in the market, I have taken information, used it in a manner not authorized, and profited.

That's different from someone else unaffiliated with the company independently deriving the information, using it in the market, and profiting.

As an example, the researchers who discovered VW's cheating on diesel emissions tests (assuming they were independent) would be perfectly within their rights to short or buy puts on Volkswagen. VW executives who were responding to the EPA inquiry or otherwise discovered the cheating would not be within their rights. In both cases, there was a moment where that information was material to the valuation of VW and not public, yet one group could legally trade on it and another could not.
The article didn't mention anything about them being a hybrid species. And I'm pretty sure they are a feline species that earned the name based on looks.

There are browser extensions like Leechblock for Firefox, they help. You can make the list of sites to edit impossible to reach during the time they are blocked. I'd like a tool like that but more low level, so they work for all browsers simultaneously and can be even harder to circumvent.

There's also a browser extension that limits the number of tabs you can have open.

Maybe another good one would be to slow you down, e.g. at most one page per minute or so.

But the best remedy is to stand up and walk around for a bit, discuss what's vague about your current task with a colleague for a moment, or try to put some thoughts on actual paper. That's not something you get from a product.
Laziness?

It's built on desperation.

There were some solid ways to develop retirement strategies with lifelong careers, pensions, and other older retirement vehicles. However, pensions are largely irrelevant outside the public sector now, the older retirement vehicles have stagnated/become poor investments (like annuities, which have become a landmine for terrible fees), and what was left was 401ks and individual retail stocks.

Mutual funds are a similar landmine, where transparency is lost and they're often built for the tax particularities of retirement accounts.

That leaves retail and... ETFs, which we can only wait for someone to find an angle to extract more value at the expense of small investors' returns.
This example of counting cars has been around the geo industry forever, and satellite imagery is pretty cost prohibitive to get on a regular basis.

Malls are gone? Serious? Here in Canada they are getting more and more jam packed with more upscale retailers and ever growing crowds. Heck, check out Square one mall in Mississauga, ON -- the place is booming for last 10+ years.

Heck, even the crappier (2nd class) malls have been putting on the proverbial lipstick and targeting hip food retailers thus inviting younger crowds dating and chilling.

The only malls that seem to die off are the ones who were opened in places which are not progressing economically (for example low-income neighborhoods) and they never took off to begin with nor has the neighborhood improved economically.
But they did not achieve widespread adoption.

That's always the issue with small, clean implementations. They work when they only apply to one domain.

Sorry, but this is pure BS with regards to Smalltalk. I worked for a Smalltalk vendor for 5 years, then consulted in the language for several years after that. I had a front row seat to these issues. Having a small language does not make it suitable for only one domain. The primary reason for Smalltalk not achieving widespread adoption was due to a series of decisions which, in retrospect, were highly anti-adoption. It started with no operator precedence in the language design, which acted to alienate engineers and scientists. Then the industry went through a "we're the boutique language of the Fortune 500" phase with $5000 and $10000 per-seat licenses.

It is no different for software, blenders, bicycles etc. Once something is used for multiple domains, it now needs to become larger and more complex. Its basically a rule of nature.

That just doesn't work for software. The reason why Python is so popular with certain scientific communities isn't at all specific language features to support them. It's general utility plus specific libraries. The reason why Smalltalk got popular at one time in finance and energy trading didn't have anything to do with specific language features or libraries. It was purely rapid development!

There is something which a small language can be prone to: fragmentation. It was so easy to roll your own Smalltalk. This, combined with a toothless language standard meant that the community got balkanized into multiple communities with incompatible code.

The linked blog post implies that they don't even have any of their own stratum 1 servers, they've just negotiated to get authenticated time from some other people's existing stratum 1 servers via the existing NTP symmetric crypto protocol.

Edit: dropped their address in my NTP config, and the Cloudflare server I got is a stratum 3. Don't see many of those about now, generally pool.ntp.org returns a mix of stratum 1 and 2 servers at least for the UK. Guess it's not too surprising if they're getting time from a handful of third-party stratum 1 servers and then distributing it to their edge nodes though.
Not far from the German "fledermaus" ("flying mouse").
yeah I like movies too but whats IN the movies now is hard to rationalize.

I find myself loathing the listed run times of 1 and a half to 2 and a half hours, while I'll gladly watch a miniseries on Netflix where each episode is just as long.

I'm usually thinking: how are they going to cut corners on character development this time, jam pack the action scenes and twist in, without me feeling exhausted of the whole ordeal?

I like the theatres because many of my living arrangements weren't conducive to turning the sound up so high that I can feel it in my body

but now, I catch most theatrical releases while on planes - which may be unique to me - and just regret every time I actually do go to the theatre.
I don't see why they wouldn't sell this to anyone with money. This isn't military hardware.
BOTH parties want to avoid it sticking around in their email forever.

Do folks not work with partners who are sloppy with security? You send over you stuff. No one wants to leak it but someone's email is hacked. Do you want your stuff in their email still 5 years later?

Do folks not work in business? Bob sends sue draft of updated raises, sue edits and adds some notes and sends them back. A final decision is reached. After some time the big list of salary info by position -> folks want that out of their emails. This would keep it out.

This is a REAL security benefit. It goes to show that folks like protonmail and other security experts don't have a good real world understanding of risks to info people face. It's not all state level hacking, it's folks being lazy, not cleaning out their email, then getting hacked.
That's a nice idea, explain your reasons for visiting any site. Also enter how much time you expect to spend there, and get reminders, I'd say.
I continue to satisfy my snuggle urge with the rest of you all in spite of 2 out of 3 @home kitty's reaction, latching onto the sides of my head with claws fully extended with vigorous rabbit kicks thrown in because why not?

That's totally true. The Chinese are also starting to aggressively go into distribution and finance. And unlike the Japanese and Koreans they aren't politically under the thumb of the US. They are big enough they can ignore the Washington Consensus.

That's where the big freakout is coming from.
> The line is not blurring. Non-public information is information owned by the company. This is different from information that is hard to acquire and hence, not available to everyone.

I didn’t realize it was so cut and dry. How silly of me! I guess all of the work I’ve done providing legal advice to hedge funds on what is and isn’t insider trading since Preet Bahara first came to town was for nothing. Thanks for clearing that up.
16 they know about. Giving how fast cats can multiply if unchecked, I expect the actual population to be larger.
By that argument, there'd be no successful insider traders, but clearly you can beat make money if you're an insider. You know that the company is (doing well/doing bad) before everyone else does, you trade on that, you make money from the people who are in the dark.

The hard part is not regressing to the mean, and consistently beating the market, which sure, nobody can do. But if I learn today that a stock is going to rise tomorrow, and I buy as much as I can, the stock will rise a bit today. So the market has become a little bit more efficient.

That I happen to then base all my subsequent trades on overconfidence and tossing darts doesn't retroactively invalidate that trade. You can even make a market more efficient on losing trades- you short a stock, it goes down a bit, but you spend more maintaining the short than the stock goes down. Then, the stock crashes after your short expires. Oops! But your prediction was still partly right, and that information was integrated into the price a bit earlier than it would have been without you.
Looks very interesting. Is anyone running production workloads on GraalVM?
> Gig economy jobs were never meant to be people's bread and butter

This is the same talking point people use when arguing against raising wages for retail or fast food workers.

Reality shows that, like retail jobs, gig economy jobs are many Americans' bread and butter. Pandora's box has already been opened.

> Also if the price went up much people wouldn't pay for it anymore.

Doubt it. Investor money allows gig economy companies to undercut their competition. Five years ago I could get across town for $5 via Uber or Lyft. Now, the costs average to about $18 for the same trip. I doubt that my driver's compensation more than tripled during that time like my trip's cost did.

There's plenty of room for gig economy workers to increase their pay. Companies that take poverty-level pay for their workers as a given, like Uber, might not survive, but other players will pop up in that space to eat their lunch.
PTP over Internet doesn't make much sense. PTP requires hardware support in all network devices on the path between the (grand)master and slave. Without this support it will generally perform worse than NTP. Of course, it depends also on the implementation.

PTP does support unicast messaging, but it is not meant to be used as a public service. There are two major problems: It's not stateless and it has a huge traffic amplification, which could be easily exploited for DoS attacks.
This is very true to me because I just painted over the weekend. I got the nice roller pads (purdy brand) and cheap rollers (Lowes), both of them snapped at the handle and rotate around 360 degrees now. This was the second room using them and eventually got the job done, but with lots of frustration. The worst part is this happened the last time I painted. The problem with things that last a lifetime is finding a place to store them.
Desperation move, it looks more the more like Intel doesn't have an answer to Zen2.
No one could have ever guessed resting on your laurels and price gouging customers because you were the only game in town would ever come back to bite them. /s
I believe that it's fundamentally impossible to "roll back" the degree of surveillance in our global society in an effective way. Our technology is already converging to a near-total degree of surveillance. And it's going to accelerate, for example, auto-autos (self-driving cars) and the road infrastructure to support them will be able to develop a near-real-time history of everyone walking down the street.

We can't (I believe) prevent total surveillance but we can certainly control how the data are used, and we can set up systems that allow the data to be used without being abused. The system must be recursive. Whatever form the system takes, it shall necessarily have to be able to detect and correct its own self-abuses.

I also started to fly gliders, and it would be lovely indeed to have electric self-launching glider, though unfortunately atm there are just too few of them, most popular are Arcus E and ASG 32 El, both are too new (cost a lot of money) and too rare. I wouldn't mind if our club get one, but it might be more economical to get a few other high performance gliders instead (like get two ASW 27 instead of one ASG 32 El) as it much easier to deal with them in a club context (doing 5+ launches per day, maintenance, etc).

Most likely a first viable step would be to get electrical tow plane first.
