Information Assurance is not at odds with improving security. It is literally the NSAs mandate to improve the security of the federal government (and other US entities).

You’re making an assumption that in order to gather signals intelligence, that they need to trick people into using compromised cryptography.

A fact that is not in dispute is that huge portions of the US federal government implement NSA recommendations and standards. For your assumption to be true, the NSA must be intentionally weakening federal systems. Nothing about that seems nationalistic to me.

To me, that construction would seem like a hell over the six months that is actually quite warm at these latitudes. I basically already keep my windows open from spring to late autumn without a glass dome like that, and it still gets hot inside during the summer months because the air outside is hot and only cools down during night. Now, add a greenhouse around the house and you'd never get fresh air blowing directly indoors. Yeah, you can seal the house and add air conditioning and heat pumps but hey there goes any natural ventilation, and now you have that carefully controlled technology that needs to be kept running or you'll risk mould should one part of the hvac puzzle go defunct.

> Things were far from being back to normal, however. That the HVAC system was shut off to prohibit the cesium from spreading through the building was a good thing. But as it stayed off, in the days after the leak, the building started to heat up. Which meant the freezers in the building, which keep research specimen at -80°C, had to work harder to stay cool. Some were failing. Important research samples were in danger.

> “Hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of equipment, labor, and samples are being lost on a daily basis. This could destroy the careers of people who have been working their entire lives on research meant to save lives and improve public health and hospital outcomes,” an anonymous source told KIRO.

> UW/Harborview personnel moved the contents of some units to other freezers nearby about a week after the spill, said Susan Gregg of the UW Medicine.

> “If they were showing signs of failure, the materials were moved to other freezers,” Gregg said. “We were very diligent that none of those research specimens were damaged.” No specimens were found to have any contamination, she added. The animals, mostly rodents, held in the building’s vivarium, have all been moved to another location as well. It took about two weeks for the HVAC system to be turned back on.

The British had just finished WWI, they were broke and they had narrowly avoided having a civil war over granting Irish Home Rule by virtue of WWI breaking out[1]. If they had been willing to follow the same tactics in Ireland as they had in South Africa only 20 years before they’d have won. Armed irregulars cannot win against a well trained regular army that has massive superiority in terms of training, discipline and logistics if the regular army is willing to kill everyone and the irregulars know that.

People are generally not willing to die when they know defeat is certain if life is an option. If the British had been willing to be as brutal as Cromwell to retain Ireland they’d have won. They weren’t.

> The use of "undefined behavior" was and remains a mechanisms for achieving that goal.

Is that really true? Couldn't the same goal be achieved by using implementation-defined behavior instead?

I thought C keeps undefined behavior because it leaves the door open for optimizations. Otherwise (for example) int overflow could be left as implementation-defined behavior: almost everyone gets the expected behavior (two's complement wrap-around) and the 0.01% unlucky enough to be using a really old and weird processor gets some other behavior (one's complement wrap-around, traps or who knows what other kinds of processors have ever existed).

The reason why this is not done, in my understanding, is that int overflow (among other stuff) being left undefined means the compiler has more room for optimization.
The statement in the link means that one should avoid to include the term tidyverse as a pkg dependency. Instead one should name the specific pkgs from the tidyverse individually. This makes sense, as the tidyverse is a collection of pkgs and referring to it as a whole just blows up the pkg. However, there is no indication to not use tidyverse pkgs (dplyr, ggplot2, stringr,...) in packages or production.

The openable panes of the greenhouse are probably way larger, and you can easily open the top panes to create a large updraft throughout the greenhouse.

Greenhouses don't stay unused in the summer, and heating up to unlivable temperatures would also kill the plantations. Therefore "permanent" greenhouses (as opposed to the plastic tarps on struts you build up and take down at appropriate times) can be down-regulated to an extent (to not too high above ambient temperature).

Funny you should mention it— I built a line-following system into the forklift, using an Arduino: I put a row of 16 downward pointing leds on the bottom of the chassis; the Arduino sequentially scanned all 16 leds. A photocell detected reflected light from the floor, and fed this into the Arduino’s analog input. In turn, this let the Arduino decide which side of the line it was on, and how much to turn to get back on track.

But odometry proved a bit more challenging, and it turned out to be more reliable (and fun) to simply move it using a RC controller.
Interesting: in America, a tentative proposal to split air-traffic-control services from the faa into a separate entity, as in the rest of the developed world, was last year grounded in Congress. Although big airlines, airports and controller unions supported the proposals, the business-aviation lobby opposed them, worried that private jets might eventually be forced to pay for the air-traffic services they currently get free, thanks to American taxpayers.

No, you are the one missing the point. Modern building design is based on an (ideally) thermo-proof house, minimal heating and carefully controlled ventilation. In the winter, the warmth of inhabitants plus some minuscule floor heating is enough to keep it warm. In summer, thermal insulation and shading keeps it cool indoor. The goal is to make the indoor temperature passively independent of the outdoor temperature. Nothing to do with cost optimization.

By replication, let's refer to refutations. I'd unfortunately agree that positive replications would provide relatively little value. But replications that seem to refute previously published studies are critical for at least two reasons I immediately see, and undoubtedly many more:

1) Replication efforts need to be strongly incentivized. Science in modern times has been taking repeated hammer blows to its credibility. The systems we have in place seem to result in more and more simply 'fake' science being published, including in the top journals. This is not an easy problem to solve since replication efforts can be very costly and things like pre-publishing still ends up relying on good behavior, which is something we can no longer necessarily take for granted. The one small tool we do have against bad science is replication efforts. Every effort should be made to incentivize these. The willingness to publish significant refutations to influential studies is well below the bare minimum we should expect from journals on this front.

2) What is the purpose of a journal, outside of making money? It's to inform people by providing a filtered repository of the information the reaches a high level on the scale between reliability and relevance. When a journal publishes a study that may have been false, they end up doing the exact opposite of this - they are misinforming society. And this is especially true for the study which seems to have been refuted. It was not a footnote - it has been widely referenced and had a significant impact on public discourse. This all leads to a strong obligation to publish.

3) (another point derived from #1 while writing) - Publication of refutations aligns journalistic interests with public interests. In our current system journals are primarily motivated to publish the most 'meaningful' results which is ultimately a euphemism for the most shocking results. So they have an incentive to want to give these studies the benefit of the doubt. Yet these are the very studies which should be held to the highest degree of scrutiny and criticism. A journal that is willing to publish refutations of the studies it publishes returns this alignment since if Science found itself full of little more than refutation of 'meaningful' studies it published in the past, it would quickly lose its prestige. Yet at the same time if it was willing to publish refutations, yet they were few and far between, one could hold what was published within the journal to a much higher standard of reliability - which would be good for both the journal and the authors who were able to meet what would undoubtedly be their now increased standards.
Every e-commerce startup starts with their first 5 orders to their first 5 customers, and has to either make a loss on all those initial customers, or charge exorbitant shipping.

In my view, there are 3 bits of effort for shipping:. Pickup, transit/routing, and dropoff.

Pickup and dropoff are the parts which could benefit from volume, but dropoff can't benefit from volume in the e-commerce case. Pickup and dropoff should cost the same.

That means, in the worst case, a small e-commerce seller sending only 1 item per day could expect to pay double, since they pay the pickup and dropoff price with no volume discount.

Prices for delivery services don't reflect that though, suggesting market inefficiency.

I like your comparison. So it sounds that one may draw the conclusion that it doesn‘t matter that much which language one chooses. In the end both languages provide typically required functionalities for data science and it’s probably better to find out for yourself which language feels more intuitive/effective to use than listen to an overheated discussion on this topic.

>they will try to have several #1 priority items - sometimes by having several priority lists or categories that are all "equally important".

I'm currently struggling with exactly that. We're the ops-team, so the infrastructure itself as well as the upstream applications are capable of producing its own backlog of maintenance work very well (hello SACK). And then you have all kinds of technical tasks to optimize and maintain the infrastructure. On the other hand, Sales, dev and other teams are also throwing project work at us we have to deliver, sometimes on a communicated deadline, sometimes without.

It's a rough balancing act. By now I've split that into two queues, our internal and our external queue. Multiple stake holders can fight about priorities in their external queue, the internal queue is team-internal and backed by our head of IT as a stake holder. From there, we're trying to consume both queues in a fair fashion. It kind of works, but perfect it ain't.

I think this would be strong evidence for why this should be published, even if some no-name journal happened to publish a refutation at some unknown time in the past. I just searched for the paper 'Political Attitudes Vary with Physiological Traits' on Google Scholar and found a large number of papers citing the paper in question, and searches on regular search engines turn up an even more vast number of mass media references to the paper. Yet I'm unable to find any reference to any replications of such including with keyword tuning.

Whatever replication come refutation there may have been seems to have eluded not only society, but also scientists at large. I do believe both her and Science that the study was refuted at some point, but if nobody knows this and people keep assuming the study is meaningful - then this refutation is completely meaningless. Science as a journal brings the eyeballs and thus has, in my opinion, an obligation to publish data indicating that extremely influential studies they have previously published are likely flawed.
